it was in august of 1 teeny teeny when tugboat captain john wallace no relation was bringing the hostile jamba a flat bottom sailboat used to dredge sandbag sand banks in the niagara river it came loose nearly killing 2 workers on board and it became one of the most dramatic water rescues in great lakes history and in the 102 years since the niagara scout has sat 220 yards off the canadian coast slowly deteriorating until last week when over 60 mile per hour wind speed sent the scouts $55.00 yards down river and even closer to the possibility it could finally go over the falls it's flipped onto its side and this spun itself around before finding itself in its new location here's to the niagara scowl and its century long fight with the falls and if you want to see it hurry up born or not the niagara parks commission says it could be stuck there for a day is 4 years home only only mom and nature really know well that's our show for you today and as my fair list co-host tyrrell's intro it says remember everyone in this world we're not told we're left enough so i tell you all i love you on t

. >> john: chris wallace is also there in washington. some quick thoughts from you. >> it is interesting, because the white house, president trump, very rare action by him. he didn't just take questions when he headed off to texas today. he read a statement that was basically what he said to sondland in the september 9th phone call. the republicans have put this out. what do you want from ukraine? i want nothing. they feel that that is very x couple story. that conversation took place on september 9th. at which point, the whistleblower complaint had already gone up to the hill and the president and the white house knew that there was going to be an investigation. of course, at that point, was he talking to gordon sondland when he said i have no interest in a quid pro quo, or was he talking for the record? >> john: the story has been here patiently with all of us watching the show. >> i think the morning was very positive for democrats in terms of what they wanted to get out of gordon sondland. the afternoon was stronger for republicans.

. >> control room, if you can find the john kennedy sound with chris wallace this weekend while i'm talking, david brought up a good point, wisconshich is the is the jury, some in the senate that will be part that don't seem to care about the facts. listen to this. >> senator kennedy, who do you believe was responsible for hacking the dnc and clinton campaign computers, their e-mails? was it russia or ukraine? >> i don't know. nor do you. nor do any of us. miss hill -- >> i mean let me just interrupt to say, that entire intelligence community says it was russia. >> right. but it could also be ukraine. >> senator kennedy went to oxford but might have gone to hogwarts because he's living in a fantasy world there. he's basically saying, i don't care about the facts. when talking about a senate jury, what does that tell you? >> well, they made up their mind. i think you heard the defense from the intelligence committee, the republicans on the intelligence committee, to say, sure, maybe russia interfered, but the ukrainians did as well. there's no evidence to support that and it's been specifica

what was the point of that letter, what did you take away from that, john? >> chris wallace pointed out discredit any testimony from alexander vindman's mouth. he potentially doesn't agree on the president as foreign policy, doesn't accept him as president. there is significant moment where johnson says that he spoke with ambassador sondland. sondland believed aid to ukraine was conditioned opening on the investigations. so johnson calls the president and says i asked him about whether there was some kind of arrangement where ukraine would take some action and hold would be lifted? without hesitation president trump i will immediately denied such an arrangement existed of the as i reported in "the wall street journal" i quoted the president as saying expletive deleted, no way i would ever do that. that is coming from a u.s. senator. that is pretty strong corroboration with the president that he said there was no quid pro quo. sandra: we are about to the see the hearing underway moments from now. john roberts thank you. bill: few folks coming into the room. n

bill hemmer, sandra smith, martha maccallum, chris wallace, ken starr, john roberts, juan williams, andy mccarthy, and dana perino. bill, your thoughts? >> bret, think of that. i go back to when daniel goldman said the following. "you knew there was no meeting at the white house unless zelensky announced investigations into the bidens?" and the answer was, "i know that now." 60 minutes prior to that, steve castor, attorney for the republicans, saying, "any preconditions mentioned by the president cannot" "no." "what do you want from ukraine?" "i don't want anything, i wanted to do the right thing." referring to zelensky. during that testimony, bret, there was the comment he offered about ex-president pens when he went to poland on the 1st of september. i want to bring this to your attention now. the vice president's office put out a statement in real time during this hearing. i will share part of that with you. full-screen number 9a, put on screen here in a moment. three different sentences. "the vice president never had a conversation with gordon sondland about investigating the bidens,

brian williams and nicolle wallace will be here. john bolton will not testify without a ruling allow him to do so. that doesn't mean is holding back on his criticism of donald trump when it comes to other issues. according to an exclusive report by my msnbc colleagues in a private speech, bolton suggested that the president's foreign policy decisions on guided by his own personal interests. joining me is one of the reporters on that, the leader reporter on that is nbc host stephanie ruhle. >> john bolton was speaking to a bunch of hedge fund people in miami. he is a policy guy and his approach did not align with the president's. he is saying he is a real estate transaction guy and looking at countries like you would a real estate deal simply doesn't work. they are not one off's. they are all interconnected. he said the cumulative impact of the way the president is handling foreign policy could hurt our relationships with allies, our position as a super power, but the one country where he really disagreed and we knew this, was turkey

we heard john kennedy yesterday, senator from louisiana on national television with chris wallace saying, well, maybe ukraine did meddle. you don't know that and i don't know that. the intelligence agency said we do know that. dr. fiona hill testified it was russia. what do you do with the united states senate that's prepared to go along for the ride with president trump? >> i remember in 1998 during my first impeachment rodeo then congressman lindsey graham saying the house of representatives is going to make a judgment and we hope that the senate, you know, has the fortitude and wisdom to rise to the occasion. obviously as political realists we know we're not going to get 67 republican senators. what i'm asking for is four republican senators. what i'm asking for say 51-49 vote majority saying this president does not deserve to remain in office. i think that will also send a powerful signal for the 2020 election. >> what are your hopes for those four senators? you think you might peel off mitt romney, susan collins, do you think that can happen? >> susan collins, lisa murkowski, maybe

we have our panel, chris wallace, dana perino, one williams, andy mccarthy, ken starr, and john roberts. chris, first to you. >> i don't know that we heard a lot more from the five-minute questioning of the witnesses that we heard in the first 45 minutes from devin nunes and his lawyer and adam schiff and his lawyer. what basically happened today is that we have had a lot of complaints, a lot about policy and how it changed, the irregular channel through rudy giuliani, and gordon sondland. but everybody had to say they hadn't heard it directly from the president. a lot of them haven't heard it directly from somebody else. it was second or third hand. on the one thing i think was accomplished today is that he had two people who were on the call. so neither of them, i don't think, had ever spoken to the president outside of listening in on phone calls. certainly vindman has never spoken to the president. but they heard the phone call and they provided first-hand evidence as to what they heard and how they assessed it. both of them had set off immediate alarm bells, so much so that colonel

let's bring in fox news sunday anchor chris wallace. chris, do you expect from what you are hearing there in washington that this will, in fact, end up with hearings in the house judiciary committee? >> well, i'm not sure whether there are going to be hearings or not. it is certainly going to go to the house judiciary committee. i guess they will have to have hearings because they would have to mark up articles of impeachment. >> whether or not they are going to have hearings and hear from witnesses is a diffedifferent matter. one thing that's out there john bolton the former national security advisor, he has a case in federal district court on december 10th, and he's basically saying to the judge, look, i have got an order from the white house not to appear. i have got an order from the house to appear. you decide separation of powers. and if the judge were to say no this is a house impeachment inquiry, that constitution. they take precedence. you can testify. i think there is a possibility that former national security advisor john bo
