>> in all honesty people are not thinking, their thoughts are being controlled for them in many respects and that the different in society. thank you for the helpful hints that we can use at the dinner table. we have said it before but will say it again, adam lashinsky have a wonderful birthday. your birth was a great thing for all of us. thank you for being here and thank you for watching. that doesn't for "bulls & bears". >> big debate was a president impeached, the democrats own witness says no under the constitution because the articles were not yet delivered to the senate. this as nancy pelosi says president trump will he be impeached forever, no matter what the senate does, just a heads we have predicted all along. the democrats big gamble, delay impeachment to shift the mood of the public and potential republican senate to get rid of trump, as we have been reporting to drive down his approval rating with 2020 voters.

the impeached republic candidate, the debate, will it work, will it backfire. the approval rating is rising. the u.s. has started and ended a decade without recession. the u.s. and the longest expansion in u.s. history. u.s. companies brought back home $1 trillion from overseas under the tax law. nancy pelosi called out crumbs, a new headline add one democrat hold the debate and no one cares, still no job debate for the democrat, more on 2020 democrats not answering question about how their policy will hurt economic growth. how they want to take away healthcare coverage, raise taxes and this joe biden at the debate claims the middle class was getting killed and crushed by the comp economy and joe biden said he would kill off middle-class and blue-collar jobs. the u.s. energy plume help stop recession under president obama, biden said he wants to create

green jobs, remember obama green job field companies and cash for clunkers, another order from the fisa court demanding more from answers from the fbi about even more potential fbi surveillance abuses. plus more disturbing detail in the footnotes. the fbi knew christopher steele was giving biased opposition research on trump paid for by hillary clinton campaign in the dnc. the fbi knew steel sources said he was not to be believed, and knew the justice department was raising red flags about that before they got the fisa warrant but cozy in the fbi team used still democrat funded opposition to launch spying on the trump campaign, not telling the fisa court about indium that. we find this in the footnotes. attorney john durham is going after cia director john brennan and we are firing up the questions on that one. thank you for joining us "the

evening edit" start right now. ♪. liz: welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. congress heading home for the christmas recess not back until january 7. that will feel like a year in the life of d.c. the timing of the impeachment trial still in limbo. mike has more in washington. >> good evening california congressman was asked if impeachment could hurt democrats on election day. >> this is more important than politics. you do what the constitution requires and then you build the country and asked for their votes, to do anything less is not only constitutional as a political mistake. >> chuck schumer has pushed to have four witnesses testify in the senate trial including acting white house mick mulvaney and former national security

john bolton. here is part of schumer's appeal. >> this chapter in our history books could be about the overpowering partisanship over tribes or it could be about the senate capacity to overcome. >> on the other side, the house republican says the fact is bigger pelosi has not sent the articles of impeachment to the senate has left a lot of folks scratching their heads. >> this is bizarre behavior by the speaker to think that she can somehow tell the senate how to run an impeachment trial after she literally broke house rules to deny the ability for the minority to present our case, the alternative case which house rules require. >> the senate majority leader says hello see may have had a change of heart. >> we have a current situation where house democrats rush to impeachment following weeks of pronouncements about the urgency of the situation.

urgent situation. prosecutors appeared to develop cold feet. >> it may be pellucid trying to help schumer negotiating position over the holiday break. liz: thank you for coming in and great reporting. as mike was reported the senate majority leader pointed out the democrat rush then delaying impeachment and disarray it could backfire. lending ammunition to president trump claims that driven bipartisanship. the swamp stuck in gridlock, pulling to just the argument the president is making is resonating with swing voters. nancy pelosi told the press, trump will be impeached forever no matter what the senate does for his reaction less bring in wall street journal editorial board member bill. she says she is somber and solemn, is it possible she never

submits the article of impeachment? >> i don't think so. i'm not sure how serious she said it when she said it. that she is delayed. and look any battle between nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell especially over senate rules betting on mitch mcconnell. liz: the democrats own witness noah wrote a column arguing trump has not been officially impeached because under the constitution the article has to be delivered to the senate. >> i'm not sure i buy the argument. however, this is what you do to yourself when you move as though she has done. what if it's delayed and senator mcconnell decides to have the trial right before the iowa caucuses. in these democratic senators going to come back and sit there why pete buttigieg. liz: and be impartial.

[laughter] isn't it about the rights of the accused, not the accuser, does the constitution say due process. >> the main thing, we should not be shocked that these things are political. what will move the house of congress to impeach and convict the president. but the bar is pretty high, no president has been removed from it. the bar is very high, i think the main thing is to be seen by the market public as fear and thoughtful. less about the rules and people want to know, this is fair and somewhat objective, we gave them a fair shot, no one will say the about what they've done now. liz: impeachment is heading and the president direction, support for removal is declining and approval rate rising. is this supposed to drive down a president approval rating in the 2020 voter to impeach the president and distract from the serious constitutional issues under the fisa abuse probe? >> i think so. but it's clearly not working, the more it's got on the president has benefited in the

polls. i think that's because the democrats overpromise. bombshell, bombshell, bombshell. there is nothing there. in the article about abusive obstruction of congress is ridiculous. as jonathan points out, congress by impeaching him on the article is an abuse of power to accuse the president for going to the court to exercise his privilege. that is beyond the pale. liz: i want to move on to this, the president, franklin graham, slamming the editor of the influential christianity today, he had said basically the president should be removed and the editorial and now he's being .

liz: this impeachment is already in the rearview mirror because january 7 is like light years. >> none of the oura of what we went through with bill clinton which is what i remember most. or even nixon where people are glued to the tv screen, they want to hear what is coming out next partly because there is no crime. partly because you can be impeached without having a crime but first they talk about bribery and extortion and then it's like nevermind. and the witnesses said they did not see him. and as you point out we have the fisa abuse coming out that's unbelievable. >> they know this is coming and they were going to do impeachment forever. >> i think it's more about the election. liz: why is nancy delaying? is it about a fair trial? >> maybe a balloon was thrown

out there to get more. but i don't think -- the whole reason they did not speed this up because they thought that was in the interest of justice, they sped it up because they thought this is the way we give something to the moderates, get this over with and so forth. now they tell us we don't need to do it. liz: give some to the hard left. >> no the moderates by getting it over with. and not dragging on for a long time. and now they tell us it is not urgent, before they justified like they did for example calling for john bolton or mick mulvaney to testify, if i were trying to impeach donald trump i want to hear that and go to the court whether i win or not and they did not. liz: what about congress about the serve the people. watch haley stevens when asked the question about impeachment. >> to the impeachment voter? liz: nancy pelosi remember

refused to answer a fox news impeachment question at her first impeachment presser yesterday. watch this. >> i said this is it. [inaudible] any other questions, trade agreement? anybody care about that? liz: does not want to answer questions and said she's been doing impeachment for two and half years and urgency that you have to do this but not answering question. >> that tells you all you need to know. if impeachment were a good thing for democrats they would be talking about it obsessively like they did with russia collusion until they cannot talk about it anymore. they don't want to talk about it because they know it doesn't help them anymore. liz: do you think when you watch this there are two americas, one america that is seeing what is going on in another america watching certain media saying

this is what is going on, trump is a russian asked that he has to be removed. he's the most corrupt president ever. people understand we heard they don't like the president attacks people. they like his policies. so everybody who is a trump supported gets that. >> my colleague wrote a great book on this subject. you can say president trump is very raw, some of his attacks you cringe on congressman dingell recently being in the hot place after he left the earth. liz: that was wrong. that's what i'm saying, there are a lot of things but so little attention to people breaking norms on the other side, this impeachment, the crazy investigation that bob mueller, when he came and they knew there was nothing there and kept it going for a while. >> the way so many members of the press declared, in the new

era objectivity does not matter, we will throw it over. it's amazing how many other people have thrown norms to the side. liz: i think in the whole mess that helps donald trump the supportive keep waiting for nice donald trump to take over and not do these things and say these things but his negatives are so high, what did he do in the first election, he made clinton's negatives be higher than his. he calculates, people will not come around to tweet donald trump. liz: he is changing the way people see things. >> right. i will polarize my focus on the problems with my opponents. i'm not sure that's a rational strategy, it worked the first time. liz: you nailed it. you called it right every time. mary christmas to you. come back soon. next up the queen speaks to

with confidence in her destiny and determined to take advantage of the opportunity before us. of course his hand has been strengthened significantly by his conservative party big when an parliamentary election last week. he is getting the most votes since prime minister margaret thatcher wasn't charged and running in the 1980s. britain's eu exit was approved in a referendum in 2016, politicians have been wrinkling ever since. the bill is expected to be in final votes in the house of commons next month and the uk will be out of the eu by januar. president trump is a big fan of brexit and has promised a massive trade deal. but the uk still has to do a trade deal with the eu first and that could complicate things. more brexit headaches.

liz: the 2020 race in the air no clear front runner still. it got heated at the last democratic debate of the year, in los angeles the city hit hard by california economic problem. no debate about gross and jobs, it said they were focused on elizabeth warren calling out

pete buttigieg for his wine cave fundraiser for donors. let's take us to don. great to see you. >> great to be here. merry christmas to you. liz: this headline says it all, the debate that did not matter. your reaction to leslie's debate? >> i will call another debate that did not matter. it was not really a debate, there is a moderate amount of polite snipping us between buttigieg and warren, but what is happening is the moderators are throwing the sequence of softballs to a field of candidates and anyone would be delighted to have president and giving them a chance to put their wares on display for the consumer. they're not debating each other or fighting each other, this is not a campaign it's a beauty contest if that. liz: to your point, they're not going to be ready for "primetime" if you're getting softball questions, where is the

job debate for the democrats, for the first time ever the u.s. has started and ended a debate without a recession, a record historic expansion. they will not be ready for "primetime" to take on trump if this is where they're at right now. >> the problem is, they are dealing with fantasies that voters are going to understand their lives because voters will look at their lives. for instance joe biden says the middle class is getting crushed and killed, for that to be true and relevant it has to be that somehow the economy is worse today than three years ago when he was in the white house with barack obama the economy is better today and no border in america who does not know that. when biden says he sings the voters will hear that and they will say not only is that not true but joe biden must think i'm an idiot. he keeps saying these things. when is this guy going to stop insulting the voters and come up with a gross agenda and say that

everything is worse today than he was in charge. it's ludicrous. liz: to your point, cnn pulls the american economy earning its highest rating and all most two decades. wages are up 3.7%, the university of michigan reports a slight rise in consumer sentiment. consumer confidence is good, the gdp was decent today, u.s. companies are bringing back home from overseas more than one trick in dollars in cash and we know the president expected 4 trillion in cash but remember this, watch what nancy pelosi had said. >> in terms of the bonus that america receives versus the crumbs that they are giving to workers to put the schmooze on is so pathetic. >> that was a fact free statement. that was a pure emotion and rhetoric, american workers are getting bonuses and morton raises under this tax cut.

>> i don't even know what any of that means putting the schmooze on. plus the facts are on the ground, who has the lowest on a point rate in two generations. lowest hispanic, african-american rate literally in history. what do you need democrats. blood? we have a quantitative model that proves that first-term income that presidents get reelected as long as the economy is strong in this economy is superstrong. we have 11 months to go and unless something weird happens that we find ourselves in a recession in november 2020 trump will get into really reelection like all presidents do if the economy is okay. the democrats will have to live with that. liz: watch elizabeth warren last night clearly not ready for "primetime" with the president debate. watch her blow off the key question about her tax hikes

could ruin economic growth. watch this. >> senator warren river question for you, every candidate on the stage has proposed tax increases on the wealthy. but you have especially ambitious plan that apart from healthcare would hike taxes an additional $8 trillion over the decade. >> the biggest tax increase since world war ii. how do you answer top economist who say taxes of this magnitude would stifle growth in investment? >> they are just wrong. liz: now watch joe biden claim that the middle class is getting killed and crushed by the trump economy and watch joe biden say he wants to kill off middle-class and blue-collar natural gas jobs, this is the very same in energy industry the help stopped recession under president obama. biden wants to create green jo

jobs. >> vice president biden, three consecutive american presidents have enjoyed stints of explosive economic growth due to a boom in oil and natural gas production. as president would you be willing to sacrifice some of the growth even knowing that it could this place thousands or hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers in the interest of transitioning to the greener economy customer. >> the answer is yes, the opportunity for those workers would transition to higher-paying jobs. liz: high-paying jobs with green energy jobs, your reaction? >> these people just open their mouth and words come out and because the democrats nobody ever checks them. elizabeth warren to take a unanimous consensus who say the truth which is that massive tax increase are going to kill the economy and she waves her hand and says no they are wrong. while it must be nice to have

the mind of elizabeth warren who doesn't even have to offer arguments who says no, you were wrong because i say so. off with their heads. this woman is running for president, not in my country. liz: remember obama's cash for clunkers. that was a joe biden concept. >> i succeeded in forgetting the how did you remind me. liz: merry christmas to you. here is the green firm that got better subsidies. the majority, all of them went under and filed for bank up to protection to reorganize, that is joe biden's mission for america. a lot of taxpayer money going toward energy companies that are not again ready for "primetime". your final word. >> the final word when you offer

free money for corrupt entrepreneurs to come up with bogus business plan that meet objectives washington has you will bring out the worst in the business community. that is what we will have eight years of if the democrats get empower. we have to cut it off now. liz: great to see her. merry christmas. next up we will tell you why u.s. attorney john durham is leaving the criminal probe, he is now reportedly going after former cia director john brennan, we have a lot of questions on this coming up. need with liberty mutual. con liberty mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas. only pay for what you need... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ most people think as a reliable phone company. but to businesses, we're a reliable partner. we keep companies ready for what's next.

agencies scrutinize trump's associate before the fbi officially opened its probe of the trump campaign in july of 2016. let's bring in former federal prosecutor. great to see you. your reaction to the story. >> this is a further dig into information that we are all entitled to. the answer on what happened in terms of who knew what when, an important issue you bring up and it's a great thing to continue to talk about. >> he has requested e-mails, call log, other document from the cia, he wants to learn what he told officials like james comey about the cia of the debunked discredited answer trump steel dossier. they said in december 2016 that it was basically internet rumor that they viewed it as that. we are going to show you the timeline of what happened. so what is your reaction to that, they want to know what the cia was telling fbi.

>> what we saw a few weeks ago from attorney horowitz the idea that the report was not complete and there was more information after in terms of the answer on our credibility in our looking at the cia to see if there was more information passed along that the steel dossier was as incredible as it turns out that it was. if people knew about it they continue to go to the fisa court and essentially relay their belief in the credibility. liz: here's the thing, if the cia or brennan was warning the fbi about the dossier in internet rumor in late 2016, if the cia was warning them that had to of been around the same time the fbi was getting words to spy on carter page. did the cia warmed the fbi about the dossier unreliability, did

brennan warm comey about it did he tell them directly and personally that carter page was a cia asset against russia so why spy on him? >> i think the idea, that's a question were looking to get answers to. we know how incredible it was, was the information being passed to the fbi and why do they rely on the source that should've been debunked by an investigative body. we see this all the time and criminal investigations. warrants go up with bad information without letting the judge know the idea of the level of incredulity that witnesses have, this is on a very national and very large scale in a problem that we need answers to in the criminal system as a whole. >> brennan has said, he said in january 2017 and he told congress the cia did not rely on the dossier would help develop intelligence community assessment.

but fbi officials including comey and andrew mccabe did push to put the answer trump steel file that was funded by the dnc and hillary clinton's campaign, they put it in intelligence committee assessment on russia election meddling, they knew by then that his own source was undercutting him, that he cannot be believed, he exaggerates. that that source was surprised that this rumor which was just over beers even made into steel file. go ahead. >> i think that is exactly what were talking about. his idea that the information was unreliable but people are coming forward with a mix of representation of how much they are relying on the steele dossier because how embarrassing it turns out to be at this point is it criminal?

>> wikileaks get the dnc hacked e-mails and release them. the democrats go into action, they get the opposition research that the dnc and hillary clinton campaign helped fund then they help get it and it did launch, it was a counterintelligence operation that got launched into trump russia collision probe and they knew it was fake. >> we have to be able to hold people accountable it is not just mistakes being made. people need to be held accountable where they knew information was bad. >> constitutional violation at stake. great to see you. breaking news another demand from the fisa court still really angry, breaking news the fisa court demanding more from answers from fbi over other surveillance warrants that it got, they want answers on that and questioning what the fbi was doing. this is carter page fisa warrant, that's not the only problem, they want more answers and we have more in the

footnotes and were finding the fbi knew the steele dossier was paid for by the opposition research that they went ahead and signed up carter page anyway. that story next. ♪ try making it smaller. and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small... ...can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette (shaq) (chime) magenta? i hate cartridges! not magenta! not magenta. i'm not going back to the store. magenta! cartridges are so...

liz: we found more disturbing

information about fbi fisa abuse to spy on the trump campaign. the d.o.j. watchdog report says fbi director james comey and his team new in the fall of 2016 that christopher steele was giving the fbi biased opposition research on candidate trump, the fbi knew then was funded by hillary clinton in the dnc. but comey and his team went ahead and use the steele dossier to ramp up spying on the trump campaign. they did not tell the fisa court about any of that. let's bring in republican oversight who is in house race. great to see you. your reaction to this. >> it's a reason there needs to be reform in the fisa law and the transparency. my service for 18 years included oversight and judiciary and we looked at the fisa court and their ability to be tricked in the past but not systematically

by a biased organization that was trying to stop the president from being elected when he was candidate trump and that's what we have 17 mistakes out of 17 that went against president trump before, during and after the inaugural tells you an awful lot about an organization that needs to be fixed which is the fbi in the fisa court if they can be tricked. >> this is not just russia meddling its hillary clinton campaign and dnc meddling. the d.o.j. report reveals the justice department office of intelligence was at a fight with comey and lisa page and andrew mccabe, the head of the unit

stuart evans was worried about democrat paid for by us coming into the fbi probe to discredit trump, there was a fight going on. your reaction? >> every day the fbi is faced with allegations and elections where research is being used in the press is being used to get it out there to an effect of an election. that is politics. the moment the fbi allows itself to be fooled or deliberately participate at the crime. liz: just to be clear, this is the fbi comey and his team, the rest of the fbi do great work protecting the american people. let's check the timeline again. when the dnc e-mails were hacked and leaked in 2016, hillary clinton campaign and the dnc went on the move into action to feeding sketchy information to the fbi via fusion gps and christopher steele to get the probe of the trump campaign launched, that probe was launched because of the steele dossier. watch this, stuart evans who ran the d.o.j. intelligence unit told the id he was surprised to learn from the fbi at the 11th hour right before the fbi got the first buys a warrant to spy

that the fbi was relying on the research paid for by the democrats. your reaction to that? >> that surprise is like the movie casablanca where they say there is supplies of gambling. the fbi is not supposed to be equally duped and i believe they are not easily duped. so when were investigating comey and others who appear to have committed criminal acts in working with hillary clinton campaign and the dnc to in fact spy on the president, it needs to have high level independence scrutiny, it's getting some now but it will need more because to get the confidence of the american people back we had a long investigation about whether or not trump had help from russia. now that that has been settled we have to get to these much more serious allegations that clearly have basic truth which the fbi is incompetent or

corrupt. i'm not talking about every man and woman and fbi but some of the highest-ranking people at the time who clearly were pro-hillary clinton and very much made mistakes that cannot be accounted for but only by biased. liz: we'll be right back with more on how the fbi pushed through spying on the trump campaign based on the dnc campaign funded opposition research. we have more on the story. stay there. ♪ hey! my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. who's the dummy now? whoof! whoof! so get allstate where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. sorry! he's a baby!

liz: welcome back darrell is still with us. the d.o.j. watchdog report also indicates in early october 2016 former fbi director james comey was briefed at a meeting with andrew mccabe and other officials about the justice department concern that christopher steele may be a clinton operative working with the backing of the clinton campaign but he said let's move forward and move ahead. get the fisa wiretap on quarter page. your reaction? >> this is a man that bugged the president and his meetings, comey was fired the president and candidly comey is exactly the reason that today we are celebrating devin nunes and exonerated from accusations he made when he tried to tell the court in the white house about the wrongdoing. we are dealing with a recognition of a vast wrongdoing

by high-ranking people in the fbi including the director and we begin to see that the president was way ahead of the curve and firing comey and now the attorney general barr is beginning to get to the cleanup that has to happen. when we talk about draining the swamp and people who put their politics ahead of congressional or ahead of their duty, congress has an obligation to clean it up, the president is doing it and hopefully at some point on a bipartisan basis, congress will begin to take real control because of they could do it to one party they can do it to another. liz: that's the principal, using the powers the intelligence community under the obama's plan opposition campaign, it's a principal. the fbi agent peter strzok complained in an e-mail to lisa

page who is having an affair with that he was blocked from getting the fisa wiretap because the justice department official store evans was worried and nervous about bias coming into the campaign. e-mailing that the dale enter d.o.j. officials were nervous. in the information by an unnamed person affiliated with the clinton campaign. and former fbi lawyer lisa page e-mailed andrew mccabe that she did not know what the holdups were, she did not know why there was delays in the wiretaps signing concerns that the justice department was worried about bias in the probe. as a direct quotes out of the report. >> the bias was well established along with the love affair in the text and were still in the majority are year ago and what we found in and what is so true now, they had a clear vent against the president and they broke a lot of rules to get what they wanted and i know michael horowitz is a really dedicated civil servant but when he says

there is no evidence of bias, he is really saying we did not find 70 saying the things that page said in this particular case but that does not mean there is not clear bias, these are not accidents that always went towards hillary and against the president. clearly we need to have a law that stops the spying on a campaign. liz: i have to move on. the d.o.j. official is concerned that the biased needed to be disclose for the fisa court and comey and his team did not disclose and did not say anything about the dnc funding the steele dossier, th they foud that they kept them in the dark and they only disclosed in a footnote that there was speculation that a unnamed person higher steeled

>> hilary clinton clinton campaign or rather helped the funding of it to get it into the probe. go ahead. darryl, go ahead. your reaction? >> my reaction is that what we need is we need the kind of independence that mueller gave against the president, that vindicated him. we need it here. we're beginning to get enough evidence that there needs to be an ongoing long-term investigation that leads to actual changes in the law and by the way, people being held accountable criminally in some cases. there were prosecuteable wrong doing among here, comey among them. liz: should the mueller probe had been launched at all based on what we know now? >> what we know now is the mueller probe did us one piece of good which it showed this was

a false allegation, but if you're mueller, you need to turn around and pivot and say, i spent years showing that there was no there there and i did it because people falsely accused the president. liz: got to go. congressman, thanks for coming in. >> thank you. lou: good evening everyone. president trump heading to florida tonight after getting more work done in two weeks than the entire democratic party this year. house speaker pelosi, the enigmatic figure in the three-year effort by her party to overthrow president trump, today she couldn't -- well, she couldn't imagine moving those two articles of impeachment over to the senate, trying to overthrow the greatest president in our history, but then she shocked every creature in the swamp. she refused to send over those articles to the senate. thereby, raising lots of questions. for example, if those as
