and veterans and frie freedom fighters. president would have the authority to rescind this, by executive order, either way, i think that this incentive that is drug people t drawing peoplee illegally will be stopped. this president, i don't think anyone would question is committed to securing the border and stopping illegal immigration. one of the top riche issues he ran on in 2016. melissa: it seems frustrating at home this legislators there are to make laws. everyone is dissatisfied with the current immigration system, why can't you get together and do something about it.

>> democrats last term when republicans ran the table, unified republican leadership, we heard the democrats say, that daca and legal status was their number one priority. we had two bills, that said okay, we'll five legal status and peace of mind forever daca eligible. we were leaning in. and being generous in that regard, but we wanted is for american people to have peace of mind too. piece of mind to secure the border, and enforce the law and stop chaos and crisis. of the legal immigration. melissa: you know -- by the way. melissa: they said that was not a real offer, because president rescinded that was out there he said he was not willing to go through with this? >> well, that is just not the case. i voted for one of those, the stronger border security. we didn't get a single democrat

to support it then democrats come while they have majority, they pass what is amnesty for almost 3 million folks who are here illegally with no regard no provision for border security. >> no real effort to stop the illegal immigration, i think there is a deal to be made between both sides. >> because both sides' something, they have something to give that is the recipe for a deal. let he ask you, how does the ambush killing, that we were all watching south of the border of america, how does that impact the conversation. >> it shows how much brutal murderers on just other side of the border and drug cartels have been empowered by the lack of border security, and lack of effort by democrats and congress to do anything to stop illegal

immigration, they are not just trafficking drugs but also people, that and i huge line of business. we have given them more control over the border, and it and i think that everyone knows how unsafe it is in northern mexico. we all -- these thing are bleeding into this country, affecting our citizens, more has to be done. and looks like president is doing more, having more productive headway with mexican officials, than he is with democrats in the united states congress. melissa: are people in congress, are they having a conversation about this is a huge news story. the ambush murder. but are people in washington talking about it? or is it just you know one of many things that is going on. >> i think that democrats are so obsessed with this phony impeachment process, it is hard to get anything done. whether it is immigration or it is drug price reduction or great trade deal opportunities like usmca .

it hard to get anything done because of that distraction that suthat-- is unprow unproductive. melissa: maybe when everyone getting together for impeachment you can ask them it quickly raise of hands on usmca, we could get moving on that. >> absolutely. melissa: thank you. >> thank you. melissa: coming up new transcript in impeachment inquiry just released, both sides of aisle raise this stake in the fight. honoring men and women of america's armed forces on this veterans day. we'll bring you the amazing story of a soldier turned be owner, who was award medal of honor by president trump. >> it is our duty to serve and pro telprotect them. every single day of our lives,

joining he now, doug byrnes this heating up to be quite a fight. >> it is. melissa: what does each side have to do this week. >> i have said this before, you try a case in court it is to a jury, but this is how is it hitting american public. are they really following it. you have a hysterical reporting, this guy went at 10:18, not 10:14. people are not following it. so is there just a policy disagreement here it is treason or bribery or high crime. we don't want to criminalize polpolitics.

melissa: democrats will try to do it about way. they will try to make the case for bribery. he was saying investigate, my political opponent, and i will give you this aid, if not forget it. >> problem with that, it is a question of how you characterize the tape recording. i the give you both sides, one, you have been screaming the left, that we should drill into what happened in 2016 election. that is what i did. the other point from right, i was asking them to look at corruption and as president of united states i am allowed to ep lestoendless aid of a fore -- to enlist aid of a foreign country. other side, he asked him to dig up dirt on a political opponent or he won't give them money, that is a series of steps and col consolidations, and -- calcd

conclusions, that woan won't ho. >> on whistleblower, i will not prejudge, but you watch political out bursts it is comical. if they want that person to come out they pontificate, we must investigate this. and if they don't, he is unnecessary it is too toxic. melissa: on republican side, what would you say if they stand up to make an argument. >> i would be making, is that what i said. this is a criminalization of political disagreements. it is not even close to high crimes and misdemeanors as defined in the constitution. i would not go so scorched earth about how it was a perfect phone call. melissa: a lot of people say, that when you to say, call was

not great but not etc impeachab. >> right, in court we're taught, you are right that point is slightly weak, however you gain credibility. it would be, maybe i should not have raised joe biden, okay in the question of his son in that call. i'm sorry, i won't do that again, it was ill-advised, the end. dispu are rightand i are right. , you know even if this was somehow ill-advised not a good idea, it is not a crime, not a high crime or misdemeanor that is defense in my opinion. melissa: republicans want to bring in hunter biden or someone related to, that they had to any whether there was corruption there to know if his motive was little bit theicritical corruptk they will get a chance. >> i am watching people

pontificate on this again, it has nothing to do with this matter, it is absurd, but it was smart for the republicans to say, we want hunter biden, we want the whistleblower, that was designed to highlight that schiff -- this man got lost in translation earlier, he has to approve witnesses, that is not really fair, most important thing in courtroom is compulsory process, i have the right to subpoena witnesses that i think will help me. melissa: doug byrnes thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up. president trump, telling veterans, this nation is forever in your debt, we have more on that and many ceremonies. and later in show, pentagon said, 500 to 600 troops will remain in syria, to fight isis.

by president trump this year. >> when you look at vietnam generation. we learned a lot of valuable lessons about putting foreign policy above the valor of a generation, today veterans come home, treated different by the general public. always great to hire more veterans and normalize service. but i am pretty optimistic, as an iraq i hav vet, i am overjoyu on the american public can differentiate between the veteran and the policy in which they went to war. it would be great to employee more folks and have other -- there are certain fields that you just don't see a lot of veterans in would great to see more veteran teachers, more veterans in you know arts. broadway, an, film. >> how do we did that. >> a lot is, you know so funny,

i go everywhere in the country, now i talk with different groups, down see a division that a lot of people talk about. i see you know a folks that are different, they love different, they worship different, they vote different, but in military we got it done. melissa: one thing hard i heard from others today is that, you have such a sense of purpose. in the military, that you are work coulworking toward somethig valuable, and then you come back it does not feel like other things are as significant. how do you retrain your mind, it probably is not as significant but you have to go on with life. and feel purpose. >> there is a validation every day, who you are and why you are important that is missing, but this is our responsibility to find meaning. it is not the world's responsibility, to tell a veteran, by the way, you are so important to this team. you -- you know, at the end of the day we were individuals in a

community. right, america is great because we have individuals that are the best they can be that makes team great and our community great country great, we have too still find that value and purpose. to me it is the fallen, the fiee lost, we have to look in the mirror asking who am i, what am i about, why am i here? everyone has their own journey. but, it is to me this is the victimization o of service one thing they really get aphoned by. -- ofinde offended by, somehow e that people feel comfortable trying to say, oh, my god, i am so sorry did you, that i am sorry you had to go through that. reality is we're privileged and honored to have done this that is how we're wired, that is two we are. melissa: how do you help others get asimulated? you have figured out to do-it-yourself. there are a lot of people out

there struggling try to change that mind set, we help or that other veterans help? >> we have continued to, that we're forever soldiers, it will never change, we're accountable. we have a compass, a new north, we know what wrong is. we know you know, what is expected of us if any dynamic, this comes down to who you are. and never forgetting that you have a value system. peer pressure makes you smoke cigarettes when you are 12, it also makes you kick down doors and clear ieds in roads, we surround ourselveses with vets that have high character. we'll be all right. melissa: we thank sergeant bebaviaand all his fellow vets their service, we'll be right back. with value like this,

and pepper spray have been used, a young man last week, who fell and injured himself died, that triggered today's clashes. lahong kong chief executive care lam declaring she would not give in to demands, local elections are planned for later this month in hong kong. it was thought this move to democracy might help ease the unrest. now there is talk of perhaps canceling that vote, and more trouble become. >> greg palkot thank you. >> rebecca hinrich, a senior fellow she is joining us. what do you think happens from here? >> this is to great credit of hong kongers who have incredible stamina, they want to be

recognized as an entity apart from china. what we've seen is the -- there are supposed to be riot police that have been trying to control the protesters, but they are controlled by china. when you saw today, this footage that was horrible, of riot police, think of china, shooting an unarmed protestor, no confusion this was an innocent person who was protesting shot by the riot police. that is china escalating and closing control, and becoming a police state in hong kong. melissa: what do you think happens from here? this has been going on for a while. it seems to be getting worse. protesters are not standing down. china does not top lose control of the -- does not want to lose control. what happens. >> at-this-point, i think that only way this could end peacefully if china actually does do what is is obligated to

do follow through with the word. and concede from of these demands from the hong kongers. president trump has said so have other senior american officials there there is brutality that comes more on part of china, it will be difficult to for the und states to negotiate a trade deal with chinese, only thing at-this-point is for china to concede to the hong konger's demand. melissa: turning to iran for a second, there a huge story. international atomic energy agency, u.n. watch doug dog group put out a report saying they found man mat man-made uraa site where iran has denied they were doing any such work. this backs up the claims from netanyahu, from israel and

saying they were cheating. now the iaea, who has been loathe to say that iranians are in violation have said it. , they were lying all the way it turns out. international atomic energy agent will say. >> so, the iranian regime was never going to put aside the nuclear weapon program, trump administration has been correct to call them on that and for united states to get out of the iran deal, all that deal it was allow iranians to continue to enrich. that is if they done cheat -- they didn't cheat, you know pressure campaign continue u.s., you call them out on it. try to get the allies to enforce sanctions, and compel and coerce regime to make changes don't give in to nuclear extortion,

that is what iranians are trying to do. melissa: u.n. can vote to have snap bac back an sanctions if ty want. in the past, they said uk is not doing it because they are mired in brexit. do you think that u.n. comes down -- iran? >> they need to. europeans that are party to this deal. u.s. no longer is, but they should call it was these sanctions to come in and you know because alternative, that is the way that iranians work they try to the nuclear extortion and to improve their nuclear programs in exchange for sanction release, but they just continue to do all of the illicit this was. melissa: rebecca thank you. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> next up, mike bloomberg flirting with jumping into the race for 2020. a few other high profile politicians are sitting on the sidelines, thinking they might follow him, right into the race.

melissa: the already crowded field of democratic candidates appears to be growing. first came word former new york city mayor mike bloomberg is testing the waters. now eric holder is said to be on the brink of getting into the mix. and former massachusetts

governor duval patrick is also considering a run. joining me now, editor-in-chief of the daily caller. chris, i thought everybody was already in the race. and you have people finally leaving. and at the same moment there is a whole bunch of new people joining in. have you seen this before? >> americans got a brief glimmer of hope they wouldn't have to sit through six or seven hours of debates next time. all of these names were flirted initially, people who were considering it. it looks like they decided joe biden was going to be a formidable foe. i think this shows joe biden's weakness coming out showing in new hampshire and iowa. not yet national polls. i have never seen anything so late in the game like this.

melissa: i think it's telling. people's actions more than their words tell you what they are thinking. you have democrats on tv talking about the president is under water. if you look at any poll, joe biden beats him handily. they talk about how unpopular he is. then they tuck about how the impeachment numbers are way up and most of america wants him removed. yet somehow in the face of those talking points and polls they supposedly believe in, there are new people saying i didn't think i would get in before, but it looks like nobody in there is going to win, so i'm going to get in. what does that tell you? >> it tells you the democratic primary has gone so far left leading polls, that scares a lot of folks. duval patrick is a friend of the wealthy and the billionaire class. he works as the bayne capital.

when you have bill gates and jeff bezos and mike bloomberg say they are concerned about the direction of the democratic party, that's a worry. the donor class were okay with signing on to any socialist idea. but when they start coming for their money which is liz warren and bernie sanders is doing, now they want a candidate that's different. melissa: the flip side could be they don't think any of the candidates out there would beat trump. if it's elizabeth warren and he gets the nomination, he can't make it over the finish line. it could be, real quick, do you have 30 seconds, do you think any people we just mentioned actually get in? >> i think bloomberg might get in and the governor of massachusetts potentially as
