it's not going to work. liz: we are so sorry we ran out of time with you. would you comp back on the show again? we would love to have you. lou dobbs is next. he's fired up. [♪] lou: good evening, the radical dimms have completed their effort to formalize their efforts to overthrow the president of the united states. the vote in the house 232-196. all but two of those radical difficulties rrp voted to approve the so-called rules bid which they will carry on their proceedings against the president. after 37 days of secrecy and subversion the radical dimms voted to make their unpress determined secret assault against the president public. but not before they hold more

secret hearings. republicans protested, but could do any more than vote no. that vote means the radical dimms have a clear statement that impeachment should never have been attempted in the house. not a single republican broke ranks. every one of them voted against the bill. two democrats joined the republicans in their off significance. and the party of hate has cheated and lied throughout in their efforts to subvert president trump. all the while, the president is doing what he has always done. he's working, precious ahead with his agenda and perhaps under his tbreat cussing pelosi, schiff and the rest. let's go to john roberts at the white house. reporter: president trump dismissed the vote on the resolution as more posturing by

democrats. the democrats are desperate. they have nothing. and it's the only way they will try to win the election this way because they can't win it the ware way. reporter: the white house said they would not cooperate with the inquiry until a vote was forthcoming. they are still not cooperating because they say it does not insure due process. democrats insist the new guidelines do allow the president and to participate. about but even then the president's involvement is subject to the discretion of the chairman. communications staff briefed surrogates on what they call the impeachment sham. the message from the white house. it's president trump work on behalf of the country, not

democrats. a new associated press poll finds the president's support among republicans is holding steady. overall his job approval rating stands at 42%. lou: president trump's strong approval ratings among the republican party show in the vote with every republican member of congress voting against the sham resolution. of the democrats who voted for the resolution, 79 are from a state where president trump won in 2016. a notable yes vote came from congressman hastings. hastings himself was impeached

by the senate for accepting bribes in exchange for lenient sentences in florida. the house voted 228-206 in favor of impeaching president clinton. president nixon's up preachment inquiry was bipartisan. formally ratified in the house by a margin of 410-4. in february, 18-68 the house voted 126-47 in favor of the resolution to impeach andrew johnson. only nixon did not survive those votes. the dimms' shadowy inquiry

continued. tim morrison was on capitol hill where he answered questions from lawmakers. it appears he delivered a major blow against the left's narrative of improper behavior by president trump. during that july joan phone call with the leader of ukraine. catherine herridge with the report. catherine: a top national security council with first-hand knowledge of the phone call told investigators he didn't think anything improper or illegal was discussed on the call and he thought publicly released transcript was complete. tim morrison said he had immediate concerns the transcript would leak, how it would play out in washington's polarized environment and how it would affect the ukrainian perception of the u.s.

he said i want to be clear. i was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed. more on rsh told investigate -- morrison told investigators that ukrainians had no knowledge that aid was withheld. morrison's testimony about the call transcript as complete appears to undercut lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. a source close to the'. and said vindman went outside the chain of command on ukraine. lou: our first guest tonight was in today's closed door testimony

of tim morrison. to the degree that you can, give us your sense of morrison's testimony and its potential damage or support of the president. >> i would say this. first of all, the democrats say you republicans won't talk about the substance, you just want to talk about process. we can talk about substance. today because a very positive day for republicans, and adam schiff's star chamber. those folks had a sour face. we finished up our deposition early. an indicator of how fast they wanted to get that guy out of the room because he obliterated their narrative. you will see what he said at some point. lou: give us some sense, this process, they formalized a

process, but it doesn't legitimize anything. moving forward, what are we two expect. there will be more secret hearings. when does a public process begin and will it ever be put forward without the approval of adam schiff. >> as your white house reporter said, the president and more due process doesn't really happen until it gets to judiciary. imagine playing a baseball game where the opponent gets three strikes but you only get two. you only get to hit with half a battle in the 9th inning. that's the process they just approved today. while they are saying you can call witnesses and have counsel present, that's the discretion of chairman schiff. while we have been in the scif. when we have gone to questions regarding the intelligence community, he said it's off

limits. this is the chairman of the intelligence community scif an won't allow the minority to ask questions about the intelligence community's involvement in the proceedings and these accusations. it will be a continued situation where they are setting the table, a narrative that supports their objective. it's not about fairness and justice. it's not about due process. lou: it is about wasting a lot of time and distracting from issues this president must deal with. the radical dimms have the luxury of not having to take care of any business other than to assault this president which they have done from the moment he was elected. not just simply inaugurated. >> we have north korea firing missiles. we could be passing the usmca.

prescription drug reform. there are issues the american people are very interested in. if nancy pelosi and the democrats want to spend their majority chasing this president around to impeach him. unfortunately the country gets dragged through with him. >> i didn't detect any season -y sincerity on the part of the speaker when she says the dimms will be prayerful over this somber process. i didn't see that somber attitude whatsoever. >> if you were on the floor you would have heard their members telling their other members not to cheer. they need to be coached not to cheer. because to them this is what they have been seeking all along. you don't see that if you are watching from home. but that's what we witnessed on the house floor. lou: thanks for being with us.

lou: congressman mark meadows joins us on the radical dimms' efforts to formalize proceedings they can't legitimize. dr. michael pillsbury joins us on the china trade deal. the dow jones fell 140 points. the nasdaq lost 12. volume on the big board, moderate trading. gold gained 3%. gold and silver surging on investor anxiety about the trade deal between the united states and china. apple profits shrinking for a

fourth consecutive quarter. the longest streak since 2016. profits fell 3%. apple shares still trading 2% higher in after hours. the jobs report to be released tomorrow. economists expecting 75,000 jobs were added in october, down from 136,000 the previous month. the unemployment rate at a 50-year low. wall street strategists say the dimms aren't hurting the economy with their impeachment. these are strategists investors should not listen to. the president tweeted people are very disappointed in j. powell

and the federal reserve. the fed called it wrong from the beginning, too fast, too slow. we are now by far the biggest and strongest country. but the fed puts us at a competitive advantage. the president referring to the strength of the dollar and what that means to exports to the world. joining me, mark meadows, member of the people caucus committee. these secret star chamber proceedings you are witnessing, since you can't exercise any full participation in them, give us your assessment of what happened today, the witness and your reaction to his testimony.

>> i think the democrats called mr. morrison in to be one of their star witnesses believing he would back up their claim that the president used leverage a aid to ukraine for something in return. what we now know is not only was he not their star witness, but he turned out to be one of the best witnesses for the president and the american people we could have asked for. early on, a lot of my democratic colleagues were fidgeting in their seats. their body language showed disapproval of his testimony. what he was doing was backing up the president of the united states. you mention that we don't get to participate. it's interesting. we had a vote on the house flooring a you well know. but i had to come out of an impeachment hearing in the basement, one closed off to your cameras and viewers in order to

vote for an impeachment vote. the democrats are craved to impeach this president and upset the votes and the will of the american people from november 2016. lou: it's stunning to watch this. and you to be there as it's unfolding against all reason. this vote and 196 republicans standing fast and behind his president. that augurs poorly for the radical dimms and their specious effort to attack the president. he calls it the greatest witch hunt ever. he's gone through so many witch hunts it's hard to pick the worst of the bunch. >> we have some of the same players working in this witch hunt that worked in the previous one. the first one was the russia hoax. now we have the ukraine fairytale.

we have the same players, adapt schiff and his group of individuals putting forth a narrative to spin and leak out to the american people so they believe something is happening behind closed doors that is not happening. i'm here to say let's put the deposition we just heard the last 7 hours behind closed deers. let's put it out to the american people tonight. if we do that, you will have democrats peeling off left and right. they will start to go the other way and say it's time we focus on 2020. let them get their nominee. let us go with president donald j. trump. i like our chances. lou: so do i. it's becoming increasingly clear that the republicans are gaining rapidly an advantage or the democratic party in 2020. the president -- this party united behind him. i think the democrats are in far

more trouble than they can possibly imagine. >> they are. you know why? this president has done what he campaigned on. that's why the democrats are going crazy. this president cap pained on exactly what he's doing. he's building the wall. he put the embassy in jerusalem. he's making sure regulations are cut. he's making sure the hard-working american taxpayer gets to keep more of their money. so it's promises kept. and that's driving the left crazy. >> he also has unemployment down to a level not seen in a half century. minorities at record-low unemployment rates. and he didn't create a single new federal program. he didn't require hundreds of billions of dollars to spread out across the country to get those jobs. these are driven jobs creation

driven by a pro business, a leader who actually believes in this free enterprise capitalist system of ours. >> he knows the american people are smart. if you get out of the way and let them achieve the american dream, it's available for all of us. you lived it, i lived it. we have seen so many people lifted out of poverty. it's not about another government program. it's about reducing government's role in our daily lives and allowing us to enjoy the prosperity of our hard work. we need to put the value back in hard work and i believe this president is doing that. congressman mark meadows. up next. optimism from the white house that a trade deal with china will still be signed. but what progress has been made in those talks with china. we'll take that up with

dr. michael pillsbury. i can't believe it. what? that our new house is haunted by casper the friendly ghost? hey jill! hey kurt! movies? i'll get snacks! no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on our car insurance with geico. i got snacks! ohhh, i got popcorn, i got caramel corn, i got kettle corn. am i chewing too loud? believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. skip to the good part with alka-seltzer plus. now with 25% more concentrated power. nothing works faster for powerful cold relief.

lou: china's three state telecomes announced they released their 5g today. they plan to install the 5g stations across china this year. huawei said it has signed 60 commercial contracts to supply 5g networks around the world. the united states is lagging. secretary of state mike pompeo delivered a passionate speech last night the hudson institute in new york. he slammed the communist regime

amid trade talks between the united states and beijing. >> the come snift government in china today is not the same as the people of china. they are reaching for and using methods that created challenges for the united states and for the world. and we collectively need to confront those challenges. it's no longer realistic to ignore the differences between our two systems. joining us, dr. michael pillsbury. mike, good to have you here. listening to the secretary of state, he sounds like a man who meant exactly what he was saying. particularly you noticed his use of the phrase, the freedom-loving chinese people.

he's trying to create a wedge between the chinese party leaders and the people. it's upset the chinese ambassador to washington who has reacted very i would say viciously to this. attacked what secretary pompeo was saying. so all of china's success according to the ambassador is due to the come snift party. so how dare secretary pompeo draw a wedge with between the communist party and the people. lou: without question, with the foreknowledge of what the reaction on the part of the chinese would be. this is not looking good. the chinese sending out signals for whoever's con sum sun, that

they are -- consumption that they are ♪ pleased with the thought that they would buy $50 billion in agricultural products which they indicated earlier they would. this seems to be an impediment and it seems to be the chinese reneging on a deal that has not been put to paper yet. >> the president said clearly two weeks ago that he expected the purchases of our agricultural products to begin immediately. if we look back over the last couple years, the chinese have had to be dragged kicking and screaming into these talks. then they agree to 250 pages and renege on that. what steve mnuchin and peter navarro said i believe is correct. one of the seven chapters have

been agreed to. but the chinese have continued to resist. they mobilize with what secretary pompeo used the storms lobbyists for china, china lobbyists in washington, d.c., and american business have made it very difficult for to us come to terms with the level of hostility from china toward our country. lou: there is no reason for this administration, this president, his administrationing to rationalize it further. this an inescapable confrontation on the part of the chinese. it's not an accident they are reneging in the last moments of the may withdrawal from what is perceived to be an agreement. and this is not an accident. there has been no diminishment

whatsoever of their cyber attacks, of their intellectual property theft and trade theft and espionage during this process leading up we had hoped and understandably so would result in a deal with china. it appears that deal is hanging by a thread, if you will. >> i think what you see if you examine vice president mike pence's speech, you see a new tactic by the president that he's written about in art of the deal. he's offering an olive bran top of these two speeches. vice president pence says we don't want the coupling of our businesses with china. secretary pompeii so said we don't want a confrontation. they are trying to calm down the receipt rick of the first few

years that china is a mortal threat to our country. if we get their signature on the agreement, then the enforcement mechanism begin to kick in or intellectual property theft. that's the good news. lou: there will be apparently an effort by the chinese. they waived the way to legitimately in their view take every american company's data, files, whatever maybe contained therein for themselves. this is outraid just. >> it is. the chinese have a full court press through our businessmen, our millionaires, media, some people inside the administration to cancel all the tariffs in december. that's what the chinese want. i think they are bluffing. their idea is we'll walk out of these trade talks if you don't

take all of these tariffs off of us. lou: the louder they squeal, it's an interesting signal to try to interpret. i would like to get your view on something that seems to have escaped the chinese. they may push this president into do exactly the thing this will insure even great subject support. that is, take a hard line against the chinese who are treating the united states with such abject disrespect. >> that's the risk they are taking. i fear the chinese are underestimating president trump's determination. i told him myself to look back on his book in the year 2000 where he has a long section on china. and they are not going to get ahead of him on his watch.

he has people telling them trump is only bluffing. lou: the unregistered foreign agents, wall street, the chamber of commerce. and other savants of the nation. >> acceptr secretary poll fai pay oh came close to calling them last last night. lou: we would like your thoughts on all of this. up next a new bombshell showing the obama administration colluding with russia just a month before president trump's inauguration? what are you talking about? we'll tell you next. testimony from a former white house official goes bad for the dimms. we trust usaa more than any other company out there. they give us excellent customer service, every time.

lou: documents reveal an obama state department official, jonathon wiener was in contact with the russian he bassy chief one month before donald trump's inauguration as president. the material object gained judicial watch shows state department officials continued to use unsecure blackberries for the transmission of classified

material a year after hillary clinton's use of her unsecured server had been discovered. joining us is christian whiton. former state department senior advisor in the trump and george w. bush administrations. chris, let's start with the judicial watch documents. this is stunning stuff. that document is how important, do you believe? >> it pertained to points being generated for the foreign minister lavrov. the up reply case being john kerry was preparing to speak with john kerry and this was classified and forward on unclassified systems. if you are a democrat or one of these deep state critters it's okay to do that. but it also raises serious questions, it raises more

questions than it answers. it looks like state department officials may have played a role in that. lou: jonathon wiener appears to have played the role as conduit to the diplomats. that's important as we look at the real collusion taking place with whom. >> why were they connecting with the senior officials at the russian embassy? his job was supposed to be libya. the left assumed russia tried to help donald trump win even thoifort was feckless and played no real role. but who knows. maybe there were elements in russia who were in on the conspiracy to stage a coup against the president of the united states. lou: the collusion seems to be tilting toward the other party,

if you will. it's unclear whom, if there is indeed collusion of any kind. it's deeply troubling to watch this process of the dems which they formalized today. don't the dems have a bit of a problem? they bring in tim morrison. we are hearing that tim morrison who resigned his postal the white house was absolutely supportive of the president and candid about his judgment of that phone call. >> tim has a lot of credibility. he is a friend of mine. he served with former senator jon kyl as his aide. i don't know why he resigned. it might have been conflicting advice and whether he should or should not testify. but the result was not what the

democrats hoped for. unlike a lot of these deep state cry babies saying donald trump cut us on the process with ukraine. tim was actually on the phone call. one of the few people in this mix who were and he said there was nothing illegal in that call. of course we already know that from the transcript. but it's nice to have a first-hand witness affirm that. lou: we just learned that tim morrison's last day on the job will be tomorrow, chris. let's turn to this colonel vindman. he's an interesting fellow. he talked about the interagency and the consensus of the interagency and he was informing people what the national security council would abide and what it would not. this is a man who has a very

high opinion of this man lit rising out of the swamp called the inner agency and a low opinion of the constitution which does give foreign policy to the president to carry out. >> what we have is a collection of the palace units who said they know better than the emperor. it's just a collection of bureaucrats from across various national security agencies. you have to ask yourself, who sets foreign policy? the constitution says the president does. but you have these critters like -- what is it with these lieutenant colonels who come out of nowhere who want to have world war iii with russia. but what this is is range insubordination. this isn't whistle blowing. you say i have feeling. i feel donald trump is doing

something unethical. donald trump had no idea who this guy was until four or five days ago. lou: senator mike lee doesn't want you to know about his bill that would accelerate the flow of indian h-1b visa workers into the united states, putting all of the progress for the american middle class and workers at peril. yesterday senator dick durbin called for a further look into lee's senate bill 386 nobody as the quote fairness for high-skilled immigrants act. when was the last while we saw a fairness for the middle class and american workers act. the bill is supported by the indian government and big tech firms like google and microsoft. today lee objected and wants to work it out with durbin behind closed doors.

>> i don't believe that any further fact you'll development concerning this bill is necessary. at this point i believe a hearing can serve no purpose other than to delay speedy action on this important reform. lou: in lee's judgment he thinks the bill is so important it should pass in the dark of night with unanimous consent which would not require a vote by a single senator. durbin is trying to save his hide and the american worker perhaps by objecting and they want to work together to avoid a hearing. you know, the public. that messy bunch of voters we all represent. they want to do it in the dark of night without our witnessing what's happening and who is doing what to this country. senate bill 386. we are going to watch.

we may not have any influence at all. but i hope the president of the united states stand up against this and tells us to withdraw that bill. it's ignorance, utter hypocrisy and need not advance at all. up next, the hypocrisy of the radical left's impeachment resolution. we take it up with tammy bruce. we are coming right back. hmm. exactly. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. nice. but, uh... what's up with your... partner? not again. limu that's your reflection. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ (thud) (crash) (grunting) (whistle) play it cool and escape heartburn fast with tums chewy bites cooling sensation. ♪ tum tu-tu-tum tums

lou: house speaker pelosi called the impeachment inquiry the sworn duty of congress. >> nobody, i doubt anybody in this place, or anybody that you know comes to congress to take the oath of office, comes to congress to impeach the president of the united states. unless his actions are jeopardizing our honoring our oath of office. lou: pelosi forgot about congresswoman tlaib. she said this just hours after

she was sworn into office. >> we are going to go in there and we are going to [bleep]. lou: another of pelosi's caucus members. congressman al green has tried and failed three times to get the house to vote on impeachment. the last time in july. it was rejected 332-95. tammy bruce, great to have you with us. let's start with this process. the radical dimms seem to be unhinged. they lost sight of what they are doing here and the consequences i can only believe. >> we have seen that from the start for quite some time. it's not a surprise. we have seen it in their

reaction during the campaign. certainly the day of the inaugural. it was the headline at "the washington post." now the impeachment begins. so the american people have seen this bizarre activity meant to negate their vote, negate their existence. lou: they have been trying to overthrow this president since 2016. they have done so openly and the national media supported that posture by saying trump's derangement syndrome, the poor babies can't get over the election results. all i can think when i hear that is crap. asking two candidates if they would accept the results of the election and children on was sure she could. >> i said this before to my radio audience.

this impeachment dynamic is expected. it would actually be necessary if we were correct in 2016. because donald trump's election was in large part because we knew something was wrong with washington. that we game collateral damage in their game. we needed a disrupter. we get the russia hoax dossier. but now an impeachment. lou: the insurance policy. >> of course they will impeach him with the ends justify the means. but this confirms we were correcting in 2016. i believe the president understands that and this part and parcel of what we have to expect as we clean out the dumpster fire of washington, d.c. and i am looking forward to it. when you see it with that perspective it makes sense. the founders set us up with a system that allows to us make

sure these shenanigans don't succeed. >> i would equitable with you on only a part. that deneed any validation that we have chosen the right person to lead the country. when you look at everything he has done, in three years he's an historic president. we suspected what was going on with this country, but we had no idea. >> boy, did we get proof. lou very stay with us. we are coming right back. dinner's almost ready. but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with our renters insurance. yeah, switching and saving was really easy! drink it all up. good!
