and declare that the u.s. will no longer be pillaged and plundered. thankfully we have a president with certain alee jerns to this nation. thanks for being with us. see you tomorrow. trish: the far left moving at a relentless pace attempting to undo the votes of 63 million americans. the president they say must go despite never having taken a vote. despite news the whistleblower was work for in a professional capacity, a 2020 democratic candidate and the whistleblower was not even on the call that he or she says was so terrifying. and you wonder why the president and many constitutional law scholars call this a coup.

tonight rudy giuliani's clients and possibly rudy himself, many are in the line of fire. as the democrats are launching an attack from all side, we are less like the youths america we have grown up in and loved. alarmingly, increasingly like one of those countries south of the border that struggled with transitions of power. those used to be the countries we viewed with distain from bolivia to paraguay. i'm not proud of this. what we are seeing in d.c. right now. no one should be proud of this as americans. we have degenerated into a state in which our country is being mocked around the world for its

inability to govern itself. we are mocked for our back stabbing and our local politics. we have aback donned the values we always -- we have abandoned the values we always held dear, namely, a peaceful transition of power. the speaker of the house could figure this by holding a vote in the house of representatives, providing a semblance of fairness, unity, authenticity to this political cha raid. political -- charade. the president promised should this become an official ire with a vote he will cooperate. president trump: they say you can't ask questions or have anybody present. all of these crazy things. even some reporters says it's an unfair situation. >> if nancy pelosi commits to

the rules of previous proceedings. president trump: if the rules are fair. i don't know exactly your definition. if republicans get a fair shake. trish: if they get a fair shake. in other word, take a vote. the speaker refused to do so. even when juan guaido declared himself president of venezuela, he did so via a vote from congress. congress. this move goes beyond the creative and ruthless things you have seen in latin america. by telling the people of our country not only do americans vote from 2016, not only do they not matter. it doesn't matter what voters think now. we'll not even bother having your congress people vote on any of it. this is a far cry from

impeachment proceeding we have had in recent history in both the case of presidents nixon and clinton. there was a vote. a vote. because when you are talking about something as serious as this, you kind of need a stamp of approval from the house of representatives. the house, which is the on body for our constitution with the ability to impeach. when the republicans were attempting to impeach president clinton they agreed on bipartisan rules for both sides because fairness matters. >> you know as well as i that whatever action this committee takes must be fair, it must be bipartisan, for it to have credibility. the american people deserve no less and history will june us by how well we achieve that goal. thank you very much. trish: fairness. an important thing to remember,

right? americans need to crust the system. we need to know our elected officials are being treated fairly. without that trust in government, without that trust in the system, we don't have a country. joining me right now, fox news contributor and former senior advisor to george w. bush, mr. karl rove. talk to me about the differences, if you would, between then and now, whether it's nixon or bill clinton. there was a vote held. you had a formal impeachment inquiry. in this case you had a couple people making a decision to subpoena the white house. i think that would set a horrible precedent. walk us through history and how now differs from them. >> if it he powers the committee both the majority and minority with certain powers and authority. if you don't have that vote the

chairman can exercise those authorities. but his republican counterpart has no authority. in mixon's case and clinton's case the majority and minority have the same authority. that is to say they can recommend witnesses, they were present at all depositions. they were able to ask questions. in both cases nixon and clinton, the president's lawyer was privileged to be in every one of those sessions whether they were on the record in public or private. the president's lawyer could recommend witnesses and question under certain circumstances question the witnesses and in he instance the president's lawyer was allowed to state the president's position in response to the presentation of evidence. the majority and the minority both had rights. in this case there is no attempt to do that. this is the highest action, the biggest, most of consequential action congress can take with regard to the president of the

united states. his removal from office. that has to be done not lightly, not in a partisan tone. not harshly, not quickly. with due deference to fairness and due process. the president is not above the law. but he's not under the law either. he has the same rights everybody else has and should have in our legal system and that means he ought to be treated the same fairly the same way his predecessors were treated under nixon and clinton. trish: if he's not, what does that tell you, you can find some whistlele blower who heard a rumor about something, not even a participant, by the way. and we have some news breaking. there are reports tonight that that whistleblower had actually worked for joe biden. so there was a report he had a professional relationship with one of the 2020 candidates. there is a report joe biden was

the one. gillian turner pointing out, given her experience at the cia, it doesn't necessarily mean because the cia agents worked for biden that he was super duper cozy with him. but it paints an increasingly sketchy picture, i think, karl, for people. you have a whistleblower who worked for bide be talking to adam schiff's team before he makes the filing. >> you are right about the threat that this represents to our constitutional government. the founders, alexander hamilton wrote eloquently about this in the federalist papers. he was concerned that the constrained formula in the constitution would be used as a political element to remove a president of a different faction and a different party, and not

for good reason. that's what we are facing here. all this conversation about the whistlele blower. to me it's all extraneous. we have the transcript. the whistleblower is a second or third party witness to this. we know what the call was. we have the transcript of the call. so all this conversation about the whistleblower. they can't bring anything more to this other than their own personal prejudices and reaction. trish: you read the transcript. >> i wish the president hadn't brought up the issue. it's one thing to say my attorney general need to talk to you. i hope you will receive him. but there was no quid pro quo and it doesn't violate a law. the democrats say he was soliciting information from a foreign leader. the statute that governs this says no foreign nal national can

contribute money or anything of value to a political campaign. they are saying information is the same as money. if that's true, hillary clinton paid a british secret agent to call up his buddies from the kgb in moscow to say do you have any dirt on donald trump. do you think any democrat would be saying we have got to impeach her? if information and a quid pro quo arrangement are the utility, remember barack obama in march of 2016. hey, tell vladimir putin this is my last election and i will have more flexibility after the election on things like missile defense. is asking a foreign lead tore acquiesce during a campaign so you could quote have more flexibility afterward, that's something of value. that was a quid pro quo.

do does anybody think democrats would have said impeach barack obama over that? no. don't go anywhere. we'll talk some more with karl coming up. one reporter shut down by the neighbor for asking a couple houston rockets players about it. >> whether we feel differently about speaking out that way in the future. trish: hear the full sound. joy behar criticizing ellen degeneres for failing not to sit next to president bush. >> i don't see myself hanging out with president trump in my lifetime.

trish: former advisor to president george bush, karl rove. there have been quite a few headlines about hillary clinton possibly jumping into the we match in 2020. she said she could beat him again. spoiler alert. she didn't beat him. let me just ask you. given your political expertise, if hillary were the democratic nominee, would she fare better than elizabeth warren? >> hard to say. but she is not going to be the nominee. it's a waste of time. she lost, she lost badly. i have yet to meet a democrat who said i wish hillary would have another chance at it. they hate her. they don't want her to run. not only that, it's way too late.

she couldn't get on the ballot. the idea that some magic person is going to descend from heaven and save the democrats. by the third of march we'll have 48% of the democrats to the democrat convention elected. trish: i have a hard time seeing how the establishment democrats are going to get behind elizabeth warren or bernie sanders. you are talking about socialism at the end of the day. >> i think that's right. but i find it hard for them to get behind hillary clinton after she broke their hearts by running an abysmal campaign. the democrats picked the one person donald trump could beat and he beat her. they are not going to go there again. trish: but they may make the same mistake and pick someone

that he beat. you put a socialist on that ballot. i think a lot of people are going to stay home or say maybe i don't like some of the things donald trump does or says, but gosh darn it, he believes in an economic system that most of americans believe in. >> the difference between having those people stay home or reluctantly vote for the president will depend on how good the economy is next fall, how good a campaign he runs by discrediting elizabeth warren or bernie sanders or whatever leftive gets nominated. and thirdly by the president being able to cause them to say he's not my favorite but we'll be better off with him in office rather than him or her. trish: let me ask you about your

former boss and his friendship with ellen degeneres. she was sitting next to the former president at a game. she had to address it on her show because people got so upset about it. we are not going to play the clip. at least the clip of her having a good time next to your old boss. hollywood is going bonkers. >> what's interesting is the hypocrisy of hollywood. i saw mark ruffalo * go out and say he's a war criminal. george w. bush was the president of the united states when the united states senate voted to respond with use of forms against iraq. mark ruffalo campaigned for john

kerry and hillary clinton and they voted for the use of force in iraq. he's fine voting for someone who voted to approve the use of force but he calls out the person who carried it out. at least susan sierra sarandon hates hillary clinton. trish: your thoughts on the kurd situation and erdogan and turkey, very briefly. how did that play from a political standpoint for this president given the onslaught against him? >> i think on domestic politics it cuts both ways. he's taking us out of harm's way. a lot of people are shaking their heads saying is america a reliable ally? internationally the politics of it are very bad. it creates the image of the

united states as being an unreliable ally. if bad things happen to the kurdish people who stuck with us through thick and thin in that part of the world. the world's community and even americans will say this is a mistake. trish: another nba fail, shutting down a reporter asking important question. >> whether you would feel differently about speaking out in that way in the future. trish: you will hear the full sound for yourself. first turkey launching a military offensive in syria. jack keane reacts from the latest on the ground. she's here next. . fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell.

president trump: we beat isis. the last thing i want to do is bring thousands and thousands of soldiers in and defeat everybody again. we have already done that. trish: turkey continues its assault in the region resulting in the deaths of over 100 kurdish fighters and still counting. joining us, retired four star general jack keane. what do you think? >> i'm frustrated like a lot of people are. this is so preventable. we were in negotiation with the turks and the kurds. we were doing joints patrol with u.s. military-turkey military. the kurds moved back some of their fortifications on the border. real negotiation was how far was the buffer, safe zone.

turkey wanted 20, the kurds wanted 5. then all changed sunday as the result of a conversation. everybody was shocked. particularly including around military on the ground involved in the negotiations and the kurds as well. why i say it's preventable. when erdogan presented the plan, i'm going to go in and establish that safe haven by force, we control the air space in eastern syria. we should have said, we are not going to tolerate that. you bring any military across that border. we are not going to stand for that. you are going to you suffer the consequences. what i want, mr. trump. way want from you is let's continue our negotiations. that's the answer here. trish: you need the military there to continue negotiations.

he says we have three choices. send in thousands of troops militarily. hit turkey hard financially with sanctions, or mediate a deal between turkey and the kurds. he was trying to mediate a deal and his point in all of this, is that we never should have gotten in the middle east. it was a mistake for america to be over there to begin with, and it keeps inviting more and more problems. you have got one problem here, one problem there. the counter to that is you are there. and like it or not, usual there. and you run the risk that somebody bleeds for you in the case of the kurds losing what, 11,000 soldiers fighting isis. >> why are we in the middle east? it started when saddam hussein invaded kuwait and was

threatening saudi's oiled fields. that would have threatened the world's economy. we liberated kuwait and gave them back their oil fields. the second thing that browse the into the middle east was the fact the radical islamists who are in residence in the middle east attacked usn on 9/11. before that they attacked the u.s.s. cole and two embassies. i.c.e. is an offshoot from the al qaeda. they grew to 30,000 strong as a result of us pulling out of iraq. we pulled out of it, we got isis. trish: if you pull out of syria do you run the risk that you allow isis to grow. >> there is no doubt. the president is right. he conducted successful military campaign which he accelerated,

gave our soldiers rules of even giejt use. but who was doing the fighting? we had 60,000 syrians take that territory away from isis. we had 6,000 americans coordinating for artillery and air support. we weren't doing the fighting. and big payoff. we took all that territory away. isis is trying to come back. we want to stay there with less than a thousand soldiers assisting those. that is a low investment for a big payoff. trish: what is the president missing here? what is it you want him to understand, the risks of the future? >> he keeps talking bendless wars. we are not fighting these wars. we are assisting the best of all answers. the locals are fighting it and we are helping them. that's the best answer. even in afghanistan. we have 300,000 afghans fighting

the taliban, isis and taliban in afghanistan. we have 14,000 americans assisting them but not directly involved in the fight. we can bring that number down. the president keeps talking like we have 150,000 troops in the middle east as we had in iraq or 13. >> ,0013 -- or 130,000 in afgha. we need some presence. the way i describe. we have to keep our foot on their throat. don't let these guys rise up again. it doesn't take much to do that. trish: coming up, new insight into hunter biden's financial dealing in china. another nba fail with the china thing. shutting down a reporter who is asking a legitimate question. >> whether you would both feel differently about speaking out in that way in the future.

the tariffs go from 25% to 30%. is the deal in place? joining me, donald lufkin. >> great to be here. let's say that we get the mini deal other partial deal or the starter kit deal which would be something like we would indefinitely defer moving the tariffs from 25% to 30% and china would buy our sorghum and pork. that would mean we would leave the same tariffs in place that they stopped buying our ag products from. but the tariffs that caused them retaliate by stopping buying our ag products will still be in place. that's a small win. but that's a 100% win within its

footprint. if we get a deal like that tomorrow, that's great. but don't think that means the trade war is over. trish: maybe some baby steps. i would like to see some bigger steps, certainly by some american companies and organizations. i think about the nba and how they just kowtows to china. it's that important the billion dollars they can make there in china. there is only one nba. there is lots of hotel chains and other businesses where there are multiple players. but the nba has a nice monopoly on being the nba. they are the one group that does haven't to kowtow to china, and they have done it ever since the rockets made that tweet. endorsing what any american should endorse which is democracy in hong kong and standing up for human rights.

now, you have this ole episode between a reporter trying to ask legitimate questions of the nba. >> the neighbor has always been a league that prietds self on being able to speak out openly on political and societal affairs. i am wondering after the events of this week and the fallout we have seen if you both would feel differently about speaking out that way in the future. >> we are asking basketball questions over. >> this is a legitimate question. this an event that happened this week. trish: you bet that's a legitimate question. if the neighbor can't answer a question like that. how are they out there representing america in. >> up going to take a contrary view on this. i don't want to hear nba managers or players spout off about china any more than i want

to see chinese dictators playing basketball. trish: do you understand how bullied that general manager of the rockets was? and to not have your own organization stand up for you and your own freedom of speech? >> you totally have freedom of speech. but if you are in business and insult your customer, in this case change today is a big customer of the nba franchise, don't be surprised if they stop bying your product. freedom isn't free. if you speak up they might boycott you. trish: after a while this becomes increasingly the problem. this is why we have a government to step in and have a plan to care about where our country goes in 10 years, a hundred years or a thousand years. china has that plan but we don't have a plan. too many ceos concerned about

their paycheck. share prices, et cetera. at some point you have got to say you have got to stand up for principle over the almighty dollar. with that i will leave it there. we have a lot more coming up, ukraine's reporters saying the controversial call -- ukraine's president saying the controversial call involved no bribery or quid pro quo. president trump: the president of ukraine just confirmed that and that should be case over. ng] mom you've got to get yourself a new car. i wish i could save faster. you're making good choices. you'll get there. ♪

trish: the democrats throwing the idea of bipartisanship out the window. regardless of the fact that the ukraine president said he didn't feel any quid pro quo. nan hayworth, what's their goal? >> politics.

this is designed serve the democratic party. the democratic 2020 nominee who needs help at this point. speaker pelosi is trying to serve two political purposes at once. she is letting her chairman run this impeachment drive which has not received a vote from the house of representatives. that makes it not an impeachment. that is not part of this process that has precedent and procedure. and she is trying to avoid an impeachment vote because she knows her swing district members will be on the hook about she does. >> if you don't have the votes. it seems to me it becomes a rigged process, right? you are fighting a war in the media but you are not doing anything substantive. let me "you about joe biden.

is he collateral damage in all this? he might be a better candidate, a than a socialist. but given his background and history and new revelations about his son, not just sue crane, but a story in the "new york post" by peter swiets were who has done investigative work. he has a whole thing out about hunter bind's business dealings in china. is joe biden out now? >> here is the challenge, trish. every time ukraine is mentioned and it many the focus of the democrats now, without any real basis to go on in terms of against the president. but every time they mention ukraine hunter biden's name will arise. and that makes biden synonymous with corruption. it's not just hunter biden.

it's also joe biden's brother who was heavily involved in promising access to. biden. >> her narrative is the establishment is corrupt and that capitalism has betrayed so much of the country. so it's playing right into that. he becomes the sacrificial lamb which may have backfired because we are getting reports tonight, we don't know how cozy they are. and i qualify it by saying that. but apparently joe biden was the connection between the whistleblower and the 2020 democratic candidate. this whistleblower used to work as a cia analyst on joe biden's team effectively presenting some of the information to joe biden. you start adding all this up, couple that are the fact that whistleblower wasn't on the call, but he described it as

terrifying, frighten, second hand hearsay information and takes it to adam schiff's staff before making the filing, and i think you have got a problem on your hands. i think it's a problem for our country and our system of government. >> i agree with you, trish. in previous impeachment proceedings the democrats and republicans followed an orderly procedure. there was a vote, there was bipartisan cooperation. i don't think there is any basis for impeaching president trump. it should trouble all of us that adam schiff who is the chairman of thing tell jones committee whose operations are protected versus the judiciary committee, adam schiff had to fictionalize the conversation between the president and -- between president trump and president

zelensky. why? everybody should be deeply suspicious of this. this is not a legitimate process. trish: we don't know who the whistleblower is. it seems before you undo the votes of 63 million americans. they ought to know what biases this particular whistleblower may have had. that person should be vetted. >> this is the ultimate in cancel culture. you are right about the whistleblower. why the whistleblower cooperated with adam schiff before presenting third hand or second hand hearsay report. none of it makes any sense. nan, good to see you. thank you so much. fox news releasing brand-new polls with one showing voters are concerned about bernie sanders' declining health.

"sesame street" is taking on the opioid crisis by introducing a muppet whose mother is currently recovering from substance abuse. the creators of the very well-known and popular children's show. i watched it as a kid all the time, loved "sesame street." they say they chose to tackle this issue after looking at data revealing 6 million children under the age of 11 within a household with apparent dealing with a substance abuse disorder picture to me right now "fox news" contributor and professor of medicine at nyu mangum medical center dr. mark siegel. i just got chills as i read that and i saw that little muppet.

i remember watching that as a kid and i applaud them because they do tackle a lot of issues. mr. rogers did too. i was recently watching a rerun with my son and he said how could you watch this? it so slow. he likes spongebob but mr. rogers was talking about divorce which back in the 70s and 80s was spiking at levels and it was an important discussion for some little kids to hear. "sesame street" is taking on the opioid crisis. i guess they feel like they kind of have to. >> you have to applaud it because there are 500,000 kids in foster care. one third of them according to health and human services one third of them because of apparent with the substance abuse problem and families are at the heart of the opioid epidemic. they are also the solution. i had a patient want to literally was so hooked on opioids, he couldn't get off and then he had a young child that
