or joe biden. we heard from mr. goldman last week -- and i asked him specifically -- if his committees had investigated that claim, that there was some legitimate concern by the government about corruption regarding burisma. and he said they thoroughly investigated it and found absolutely no evidence. mr. trump is welcome to be here. he was welcome to be here. he was welcome to participate, his lawyers, so that if he has any information that would exonerate him about this he could present it at any time. he is not. now let's compare that to the fact that he has prohibited witnesses from coming before our committee and other committees. he has prevented documents from seeing the light of day. he has intimidated witnesses. so let's remember that he is doing absolutely everything possible to hide his wrongdoing. if he could prove otherwise, he would. now, compare that with the information that was created through the investigations. over 300 pages in a report, over -- or 17 witnesses, over 200 text me

and i think joe biden showing some righteous anger about the way trump has gone after hunter biden has benefited him somewhat politically and it continues to illustrate the risk factor trump seems to feel that biden presents to him. i will say, though, that you got to constantly be on offense with trump. you can never try to defend yourself or clarify. you always have to go back right up into his grill. you always have to keep kicking. the minute you start attacking trump, you have to stay at it. republicans learned that lesson the hard way in 2016 where they would go on stage with one canned trump joke, and then he would do his insult comic thing for half an hour. toulgt you got to be always on him. it's incumbent upon biden to keep turning this back onto trump. >> our guests are all going to stay with us. anyone i didn't get to, i will get to in the next segment. we'll fit in another break. our conversation continues on the other side. for a different kind of drive. ♪ ladies and gentlemen for the drive to create a new kind of family car, that became a new kind of race car. for the

employed hunter biden. how much of the sleaze associated with hunter biden's gifter operations, how much will that taint joe biden. >> it depends who is going to talk about it. is donald trump going to talk about it? if he does someone will want to impeach him. i think fox should do more investigative reporting on its own. no one has shown any interest. look at china. china is a bigger story than the ukraine. look at what peter schweizer is coming out with. the real money is in china. go back to the ukraine. clearly, clearly, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that in that phone call that donald trump did not ask for political favors. if you don't believe him, investigate it. why isn't anyone reporting any investigation on this? maybe it's because they don't have anything. gregg: the bias and hatred of the mainstream media has absolutely blinded them to the responsibility as journalists. and i wrote an entire chapter in my book "witch hunt" about this, 54 pages filled with reporters and their stories for 2

biden campaign, the biden camp, the family. they've missed the opportunity of defining to the american people really the introduction of the biden family in the political context. so far, it's just been all trump's side of it and all of the republicans' side of it that we're hearing. and when you allow other people to define for you what the relationship was, what activities were happening, even if they're flat out lying about it. right now, they're only hearing one side of what happened and one interpretation of what happened, and i think that at some point very soon, once we get through the actual impeachment process, biden as a candidate's going to have to stand on the stage and explain thoroughly what actually happened with his son. does he agree with what happened? is there something he'd like to see differently unfold? and i think that he will do that. i think that we're seeing the first stage really was the indignant anger that we saw from biden. i agreed earlier with what was said that it was a good thing that biden sho

, biden is corrupt. if he can prove that, that makes everything okay. i don't think it actually works that way. the president going to his tweets, i went through his tweets for a project over the summer. >> i'm sorry. that's a dark place. >> but no. even before impeachment he had been tweeting even more darkly and just really going after lawmakers in a visceral way. it is not clear what's going on, whether he was just worked up at the end of the mueller investigation, but this is an ongoing trend for the last few months. >> jen, we have seen strange behavior. so much of it, we can't get to all of it, making fun of emotional displays of a teenage girl with asperger's, making fun of nancy pelosi's dentures. shared a tweet from rudy giuliani. the two men friday after giuliani returned from ukraine, among claims giuliani is making former pr former prosecutor says he was poisoned, died twice and is back. this is the president's lawyer. i mean, what? i think his followers or supporters are holding tight with h

joe biden gets in a heated exchange with a voter. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm christine romans. >> happy friday, everybody. i'm dave briggs. december 6th. we're 59 days to the iowa caucuses and one step closer to impeachment. house speaker nancy pelosi has officially directed the judiciary committee to lay out the charges against the president in articles of impeachment. just hours ago, at a live cnn town hall, pelosi said the constitution and the facts are now clear. >> this is a very sad day, i think, for our country. it's something i would hope we could have avoided. but the president's actions made it necessary. you cannot violate the constitution in full view. >> here are the next steps in the process. the white house has until 5:00 p.m. this afternoon to decide whether they will participate in a hearing on monday. lawyers from the intelligence and judiciary committee will present their findings from investigations into the president. monday's hearing sets up a issue judiciary vote with

this is not about hunter biden. they have said that on the other side repeatedly up until they start talking about hunter biden having some substance abuse problems. you can't have it both ways. let's be honest. this is about our conscience, the conscience of the nation. the conscience of my friends on the other side of the aisle. do you believe that we should allow this to go unaddressed, with the president did? because we are a country of precedent. we are a country of rule of law. we are a country of norms and traditions. are we going to allow the violation of our norms, our traditions, our legal precedent. after all, bribery was not a crime. there was no criminal code when the framers past the constitution, but they said bribery in there and what it meant was i am offering you something if you do something for me. i will give you this. in other words, you give me this and i will give you that. that's what we had in this case. that's what bribery means. it doesn't depend on the statute. it depends on what we know

we say here we're riding with biden. we're excited. >> might have been more clever than the no malarkey, riding with biden. >> well, especially if you say it with an accent like i have it, it rhymes. so that's our approach. and he's building a broad coalition here that includes those young people that you mentioned. >> so buttigieg, mayor buttigieg. you know, he is another moderate. his popularity has surged in that state, up double digits from where he was in september. is the mayor the biggest threat at this point to biden nomination? >> i don't think so. i think people don't know the mayor very well. he's exciting now. he's new. but if you look at the coalition of voters that vice president biden has put together, it is much broader. here in nevada, we've got a large hispanic population. min minority population. asia p. students. military. labbe e unions. that's a broad coalition that the vice president has that these other candidates don't even if they're a little exciting right now. >> so nationally, biden is leadin

however, hunter biden's role did not change and former vice president biden continued to leadco u.s. policy in ukraine. on this record there is a legitimateco basis for presiden trump to have concern about hunternc biden's role on burisms board. the prospect that some senior ukrainian officials worked against president trump in the runup to the 2016 election draws an even more visceral reaction from most democrats. let me say very, very clearly that election interference is not binary. i'm not saying that it was ukraine and not russia. i'm saying that both countries can work to influence an election. a systemic coordinated russian interference effort does not meanff that some ukrainian officials, some ukrainian officials did not work to oppose president trump's candidacy, did not make statements against president trump during the election. ambassador volker testified in his public hearing that it is possible forng more than one country to seek influence in u.s. elections. dr. hill testified likewise at her public hearing. contemporaneous news articles in 2016 noted how president trum

did it, this is proof that biden did it and this is proof that biden did it. how does it change the case against the president? it wasn't the right way to adduce those claims from ukraine. >> and nobody knows that better than a former prosecutor, a former united states attorney in the southern district of new york. he knows if he is in possession of evidence of corruption, of misdeeds, of law breaking on the part of a u.s. citizen, the proper place for that evidence is, i'm sorry to say, not your show, but the department of justice. we have laws that prohibit american citizens from engaging in corrupt practices with foreign officials. if that happened, and to this date we don't have any information that it did, that should be given to the department of justice to be handled through our criminal justice system. >> when you're looking through the lens of what this means and rudy comes up on the call sheet with omb. now, they're saying that may be a bounced number. could have gone to different police stations. he may never have gone to omb. how strong does the ca

there is a lot of talk about biden's son, that biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that. so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me. witnesses unanimously testified that there was no factual support for this claim. rather, they noted that vice president biden was acting in support of an international consensus and official u.s. policy to clean up the prosecutor general's office in ukraine. despite these facts, by the time of the july 25th call, mr. giuliani had been publicly advocating for these two investigations for months while also using back channels to press ukrainian officials to nashiate them in support of his client, donald trump. ambassador sondland understood mr. giuliani's role very clearly. he testified, mr. giuliani was expressing the desires of the president of the united states. and we knew these investigations were important to the president. to others, mr. giuliani was working at cross-purposes wit

the biden campaign pushing back on a political report that biden has signaled that he would serve only one term if he was electedn 2020. quoting an advisory saying if biden is elected he's going to be 82 years old in four years and he won't be running for reelection. here's the former vice president's response when asked about that today by our own peter doocy. >> about a one term pledge. >> no, never have. >> martha: all right. the host of the american enterprise institute's podcasts and fox news contributor, austan goolsbee. he knows what's going on. let's start with you. this appeared to have come from someone in the campaign, that it's something they discussed that if he were elected he might only serve for one term. >> yeah, i don't know where that comes from. a lot of times there are trial balloons that floated and a lot of times there is just extraneous information that gets floated as if it's a fact. who knows. i think the downside of promising a one term thing is in no way, it kind of makes you a lame duck before you even get there. i would be surprised if they come out with t

or joe biden. we heard from mr. goldman last week, and i asked him specifically if his committees had investigated that claim, that there was some legitimate concern by the government about corruption regarding barisma, and he said they thoroughly investigated it and found absolutely no evidence. mr. trump is welcome to be here. he was welcome to be here. he was welcome to participate. his lawyers. so that if he has any information that would exonerate him about this, he could present it at any time. he is not. now, let's compare that to the fact that he has prohibited witnesses from coming before our committee and other committees. he has prevented documents from seeing the light of day. he has intimidated witnesses. so let's remember that he is doing absolutely everything possible to hide his wrongdoing. if he could prove otherwise, he would. now, compare that with the information that was created through the investigations. over 300 pages in a report. over -- or 17 witnesses. over 200 text messa

>> i think it's already hurt biden. i don't think there's any excuse allowing your son to do business in the ukraine? >> when he has no experience in that sector. >> yeah, clearly hunter biden is a troubled soul. clearly joe biden is a wonderful father, but this is very difficult in a country now that's really sick of politicians self-dealing. >> yes. yeah, i think it will be a problem for biden and well and a legitimate one. >>> i've been asking democratic lawmakers who come on the show, asking if it would be worth it. they all say yes, because it was the right thing to do. i believe they believe that, but do you believe that it will have been the strategic thing to do if democrats suffer political for it? >> well, whether or not they suffer political, it was the right thing to do to investigate this guy. i have thought from the beginning that impeachment was a bridge too far. i think the investigations should continue. i am really curious about what's in those tax returns. >> sure. >> there are other things, you know,

the president asked for biden. and his perfect phone call. he asked for biden. concerned every one of the diplomats except morrison was this -- >> and volker. >> no, he thought it was really weird that this was becoming ability an american election. and thought it was dangerous. >> when volker was ask whether or not there was impeachable offense observed he said no. >> a legal conclusion at any trial? do you remember the lady -- really? you remember a witness being asked -- did you think it was robbery or burglary? >> look, these are people who interface with the national security apparatus regularly. ambassador volker. >> it's not their job. >> they have an ability to provide some context for the circumstances that have arisen. if given the context there was a severe concern on the part of everyone involved. you would hear the concerns from morrison. >> that's why they were testifying. >> all the people coming forward you can break down into categories, hearsay, conjecture and speculation or a legit policy disagreement. people like vindman who -- >> circumstant

biden is and same for any other candidate. this is a piece, an exhibit of evidence that they're going to use as much as they possibly can. >> carlos, that polling includes or congressman i should say, that polling also includes florida. what do you make of voters down there and their desire to ditch trump and to try out joe biden? do you think that there are trump voter that is voted for him in 2016 saying no more? i like joe biden more than for elizabeth warren or bernie sanders or cory booker or andrew yang or anybody else? >> katy, carlos is good. we have gone through this before. but what stood out to me most looking at the polls in florida is the gulf between biden's performance against the president and the other candidates. elizabeth warren, bernie sanders. it's not even close. joe biden's not only the only one ahead, the others way far behind and swing voters in florida especially here in south florida, a lot of hispanics that fled socialist revolutions so they're weary of the democratic candidate that is identify as s

it could be joe biden crying. it could be joe biden being sensitive. >> he's emotional, let's say. >> yes, a man can be emotional in a way a woman can't be. >> it is true there's a double standard of behavior, i think it is accurate. the trump administration making a move that could leave close to 700,000 americans without access to food stamps. stay with us. bringing families . this time of year, that's really important. so we're making it easier than ever to become part of our family. that's why our chevy employee discount is now available to everyone. the chevy price you pay is what we pay. not a cent more. family is important to us. and we want you to be part of ours. so happy holidays. and welcome to the family. all: the chevy family! get the chevy employee discount for everyone today. i'm a verizon engineer, and i'm part of the team building the most powerful 5g experience for america. it's 5g ultra wideband-- --for massive capacity-- --and ultra-fast speeds. almost 2 gigs here in minneapolis. that's 25 time

biden's role did not change and former vice president biden continued to lead u.s. policy in ukraine on this record there is a legitimate basis for president trump to have concern about hunter biden's role on barisan as board. the prospect that some senior ukrainian officials worked against president trump in the run up to the 2016 election draws an even more visceral reaction from most democrats let me say very very clearly that election interference is not binary i'm not saying it was ukraine and not russia i am saying that both countries and work to influence an election a systemic coordinated russian interference effort does not mean that some ukrainian officials some ukrainian officials did not work to oppose president trump's candidacy did not make statements against president trump during the election ambassador volcker testified in his public hearing that it is possible for more than one country to seek influence in u.s. elections dr hill testified likewise at her public hearing contemporaneous news articles in 2016 noted how president trump's candidacy led

joe biden's a terrible candidate. he can destroy himself on the campaign trial but he can't get by this. it doesn't matter who brings it up, who does it because this is what happened. and you can whitewash it all you want. you can go over whatever you want, but he's either a liar or he did it and he did it. i want to continue on. question is a question that you had earlier. you rely on how many times do you rely on sondland's testimony? in your reporting? >> it's nearly a 300 page report. >> would you be amazed if it was 600 times or better. >> you wouldn't have any idea. >> no idea. >> you did. over 600 times. would you also understand if you do a simple check of your report that over 158 time, mr. sondland said not knowing something best of my knowledge or i don't know. would that surprise you? >> the report or deposition? >> the deposition and the closed door testimony. >> yes, and over time, he remembered a lot r more as he was refreshed by other people's testimony! yeah, it is. the question we're having here is m

it's not just joe biden though. you have beto o'rourke said it was a dumb idea and activists like david hogg also said that teachers shouldn't be allowed to be armed to protect students. so my question is, have they all seen this footage? have they changed their mind? is the media going to hold them to account? what do you think of this? because these are real lives, real people. by the way, jack wilson and the president tweeted he is a hero, absolutely is a hero. and six seconds, he took the shooter down. and again, when asked about it, i guess later on a post, he thanked god and feels blessed that he could help protect parishioners in this way. >> gregg: you know, larry, julian castro democratic presidential candidate said this "a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy is fiction. it doesn't work that way." i don't know what dream world that is living in. >> some years ago there was a shooting called grandy law school, apparition law school and virginia. a gunman shot a dean, a student, and a teacher, and there we

hunter biden and joe biden's name come up a lot in the impeachment. he has consistently been viewed by democratic voters as the strongest candidate against trump, but you do have to wonder, will it get under his skin? will it get into voters' minds? joe biden found a way last night to connect two dots. he brought up the attacks on him and his son in connection with his appeal that, i can actually get things done. >> i refuse to accept the notion, as some on this stage do, that we can never, never get to a place where we have cooperation again. if that's the case, we're dead as a country. we need to be able to reach consensus. if anyone has reason to be angry with the republicans and not want to cooperate, it's me, the way they've attacked me, my son and my family. but the fact is, we have to be able to get things done. >> he has had mixed reaction. from beginning to end last night, it was his most solid, con sit tens t consistent, coherent performance. >> he has this nostalgia, you could say, about bipartisanship. it's a nostalgia that not all members

>> i think biden and i'm going to say it. i think andrew yang. probably biden. but i would say that i think that people right now are looking for somebody that they feel can, as i said before, bring the country back together. but the trap the democrats keep falling into is that donald trump is embodying a particular archetype and the archetype is the rebel who gets things done. every time we say you're breaking the rules, you're reinforcing the archetype of the rebel who gets things done. and we invite the archetype of the scold. you are not following the rules. you are breaking the rules. so, the rebel versus the scold, the rebel will always win. >> just to add to your point, the people who vote for him -- >> they don't believe in it anyway. >> -- they believe it's rigged anyway. >> they were 45% in 2018. to gloria's point, it is worth about stability, it is worth noting that after the last two impeachments in modern times, nixon and clinton, the other party won the white house and won it with a candidate that ran as an anecdote to the president. bush ran on re

that sets biden up for trouble. puts biden in same position in a lot of ways hillary clinton was with barack obama in 2008. iowa means more for democrats than republicans. republicans it is one off. for democrats, barack obama, john kerry, others know this is launchpad into success. mike: biden has super high expectations and challenge to meet them, right? >> absolutely. overlaid with the concern that he continues to mishandle things like, will i testify in front -- of course you're going to testify in front of the senate, mr. former president of the senate. the fact that it takes him so long to get to the obvious answer should be disquieting to democrats. mike: chuck, elizabeth warren fund-raising dipped about 30% in the fourth quarter from $24.6 million to $17 million. the rcp average she is running fourth in iowa and new hampshire. are voters in that left lane of the democratic party choosing senator bernie sanders over her? >> i think actually there is sort of a maybe like a split not as much interchangeability

joe biden isn't on trial here. donald trump is, and that's where the focus should stay. >> jon, shifting gears a little bit, talking about president trump being at mar-a-lago. one of the folks, it turns out, who he's entertained at mar-a-lago in the last few weeks, eddie gallagher and of course this controversy involving the navy s.e.a.l.s here. there's now video published by "the new york times" of some navy s.e.a.l.s accusing gallagher of horrendous, horrific conduct. it seems gallagher and trump have developed a bit of a relationship here. is there any indication that these revelations from these videos of what his fellow s.e.a.l.s said about him is going to affect the president in how he treats and showcases gallagher? >> certainly not yet. inquiries to the white house about this matter have gone unanswered so far today. the video clips are very powerful suggesting he was unfeeling when he would open fire on civilians and so on and took no second thoughts about killing, taking another life. it's hard to watch,

you take for example, the bidens. we know hunter biden was receiving up to $83,000 a month to serve on the board of the largest natural gas company in ukraine, burisma. $83,000 a month. that's a million dollars a year. that's nearly ten times a month as much as exxonmobil pays its directors, and hunter biden, look. i'm from houston. i know lots of people who serve on the board of natural gas companies. you know what they tend to have? they tend to have a background in geology and physics. they tend to know something about drilling and natural gas. hunter biden had none of that, but his dad was vice president of the united states, and we have joe biden on film publicly and proudly bragging about how he threatened ukraine with withholding $1 billion in foreign aid unless they fired the prosecutor that was potentially prosecuting burisma, the company on which his son sat on the board. that's not just a little bit of evidence of corruption. that's serious evidence of corruption. >> senator, as you know -- >> i think the p

and i think that biden -- it's incumbent upon biden to keep turning this back onto trump and turning the attack back on to him. >> our guests are all going to stay with us. anyone i didn't get to, i will get to in the next segment. we're going to fit in another break. our conversation continues on the other side. >>> their defense or excuse is that president trump wanted to investigate corruption. now, that's just laughable on its face. if you want -- if president trump wanted to investigate corruption, he could start at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, look in the mirror, or he could look around the cast of criminals that have been indicted from his circle. >> a little louisiana common sense from a member of congress tonight. "the new york times" reporting the trump campaign thinks impeachment is helping with voter enthusiasm. annie karni and our friend, maggie haberman, report it this way. while mr. trump himself has ruled the fact that impeachment might tarnish his legacy, his political advisers presented the unfolding proceeding as nothing but a boost to the campaign in every metric it

biden is winning it by four. this is a president with a 42% approval rate, a high water mark of 46% and he has just been impeached. if you trailing hillary clinton's support now, that is not constructive. >> could they replicate that as they try to mount presidential races in other swing states. >> possibly because they had, through the years, an increasingly large number of democratic wins and they have a statement that is heavily populated in northern virginia. this only works if you have red states with heavy population centers. i would look to wisconsin as a place where you can focus in the milwaukee area and possibly try to replicate that. you have certain elements. you need a strong suburban swing voter. some other states that you want to flip. one is not one fits all. you have to look at all of them differently and all of the state primaries in that way. for biden it is good news because it builds him up stronger before he gets hit with all of the hunter biden stuff that is just getting in line now to be p

so how can the other democrats not name joe biden in in race? how can they campaign in those issues more effectively to sort of chep away at biden's lead. >> there's a conventional wisdom that's set in that joe biden is the only candidate that's talking to black voters or other candidates aren't trying to. i think black voters are going to be central to whoever the democratic nominee is going to be this time around in the way we've not seen in the modern era. but i think that biden, there's almost an incumbency advantage that he has, obviously closely aligned with former president obama and i think that, you know, joe biden, because of his high name is a known entity to a lot of african-american voters in the country. so i think because of that advantage, i think that there's this sense that african-american voters know him. but i will say depending on what happens in iowa, new hampshire and nevada, his fortunes could change in south carolina. so i think african-american voters are going to behave pragmatically. they want to go with the candidat

biden: i know. i know. senator sanders: saying hello. fmr. vp. biden: i know. [laughter] so, look, it covers everybody. it's realistic. and most importantly, it lets you choose what you want. here you have 160 million people who negotiated their health care plans with their employer, like many of you have. you may or may not like it. if you don't like it, you can move into the public option that i propose in my plan. but if you like it, you shouldn't have -- you shouldn't have washington dictating to you, you cannot keep the plan you have. tim: thank you, vice president biden. senator sanders, 45 seconds to respond. senator sanders: under joe's plan, essentially we retain the status quo. fmr. vp. biden: that's not true. senator sanders: it is exactly true. senator klobuchar: no, that's not right. senator sanders: and but -- thank you. and, by the way, joe, under your plan, you know, you asked me how are we going to pay for it? under your plan, i'll tell you how we're paying for it right now. the average worker in america, their family makes $60,000 a year. that

the reference to joe biden. on the july 25 call on page four, isn't it a fact that president trump and his call with president ellen ski said that he heard joe biden had stopped the prosecution of his son? is that correct? it says the other thing, there is a lot of talk about joe biden's son, joe biden stopped the prosecution. >> point of order, he is entitled to answer the question fully. there is a video of the former vice president, i think that is what the president is referring to. the council on foreign relations. president wase audacious and how he described, he went over -- >> i am asking what it says on the transcript. is that what it says? mr. castor: it's as the other thing, there is talk about biden's son. >> and joe biden stopped the prosecution. say,so goes on to president trump asked president zelensky, if you can look into it, correct? those are the words? mr. castor: that is what it says. askingident trump was ukrainian president zelensky to have the ukrainian officials look into vice president

if joe biden is the front runner, if joe biden is the person who has to debate president trump onstage, i'm all for it. i think it's going to be fantastic. i think it's going to give us another great election cycle with a lot of stories to write about. >> i mean lisa the prospect of joe biden in the debate with president trump. i think that's something to look forward to. [laughter] >> look at how he reacted to that iowa voter. and he can't take any incoming questions about his son very absently loses his mind. i've seen him in interviews with reporters and he gets really aggressive when he asked about his son. of course if he is on the stage of president trump, that is going to come up. and president trump is going to go after him and joe biden simply cannot handle that. and i also say about joe biden, think about why -- does report that president obama try to push them out in 2016 and 2020. you look at the fact that david axelrod looks of the type of person joe biden is is constantly needling him. >> we are at a time, merry christmas everyone. make sure your come back next sunday whe

joe biden doing the best. i think if we had a real fight for the nomination up to the convention, it would rivet america and could well help us in the fall. >> well, we had a real fight with impeachment. and the viewership plummeted and donald trump's numbers went up. than changed how the president was viewed. i think americans are tired of the fighting. they want deals with issues and they want policy. >> i think you're right. they want to hear about issues. i would like to think we could have a convention that was affirmative in nominating somebody that unlike impeachment, which brings people down in attack, is something that unifies my party around a nominee who hopefully is very, very competitive. >> if nancy pelosi has her way, it will be impeachment going on at the same time as your convention. >> hope that doesn't happen. >> the democrats never know when to stop. so who knows what's going to happen. doug, thank you. >> ladies, thank you for joining me. doug, madison, and ali. up next, one of the harshes
