incorporated story is much bigger than realized. plus, remember when the media blasted president trump for warning about corruption in puerto rico. now this. chaos in puerto rico. a big warehouse discovered there filled with unused u.s. survival and disaster supplies that had been sitting there since hurricane maria in 2017. and bernie sanders, after a week of denying it, he said yes, he does admit now that he does think, quote, gender is an obstacle for female candidates when it comes to taking on trump. that debate tonight. to actor robert de niro saying the situation under president trump is so dire, that actors do have a right to speak out. after comedian ricky gervais criticized actors talking politics. but where are celebrities and talk about what is going on this the backyard, silence as california governor gavin newsom

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. liz: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. a new "gallup poll" shows most americans, 51% say president trump should not be removed from office by impeachment. the "gallup poll" finding the president's approval rating sticking at 44%, slightly higher than his rating in early fall when the impeachment proceedings

began. the president at this hour is heading to davos, switzerland, to talk about his economic successes. after a week of full bare knuckle politics ahead of the gnat impeachment rile that starts tomorrow. edward lawrence at white house with more. edward. reporter: any minute, 15 minutes the president is expected to leave for davos for that trip. his lawyers though, filing a 110-page trial memorandum against the articles of impeachment. now by the way the articles of impeachment, 111 pages. president's lawyers argued number of different things in their brief. the house does not identify impeachable offenses. that the process is irredeemably flawed because it violates due process rights. there is no evidence making any claim in the articles of impeachment, that the articles are structurally deficient. one of the lawyers on the president's legal team, the president is prepared to go

ahead with the trial without witnesses. >> this impeachment is fundamentally and constitutionally flawed. never in our history has there been an impeachment of a president without allegation a crime was committed. under the circumstances given that, that is untethered to the foundational principles that come from the constitution itself. reporter: today democrats made a whack-through of the senate floor, in preparation for the trial beginning tomorrow. democrats would like to see a number of witnesses on their wish-list. now on that list are a number of people including mick mulvaney, chief of staff, security advisor john bolton, also associate director for national security michael duffy, senior advisor to mulvaney, robert blair. >> the democrats have put forward four fact witnesses, people like mick mulvaney acting chief of staff.

all the documents show he was in the middle of all that. john bolton who called this a drug deal that went down and has said he wants to testify, if subpoenaed. reporter: republicans have their own wish-list right there. you see them hunter biden, his dad joe biden as well as adam schiff and the whistleblower all under oath as the impeachment trial kicks off, president donald trump will be in davos talking to or the world leaders touting successes to the trade deals. in addition to the meetings he will talk with the new european commission president. obviously, trade, liz will come up on that front. liz: edward, great to see you. thank you so much for your reporting my friend. as edward was reporting the talk in washington now the senate trial could mean hearings lasting for month if democrats get their way on more senate witnesses. house democrats saying coverup, if the senate does not call in the witnesses. democrats like maxine waters, now saying quote, we will not stop on impeachment even after

the senate trial. let's bring in ken buck, house judiciary. ken, great to see you congressman. house democrats threatening to call impeachment witnesses themselves if the senate does not. how would that work? >> i have no idea. they obviously could call witnesses into committees, have oversight hearings, ask those witnesses questions that would be on the same subject matter but this is clearly a fishing expedition. if the house democrats felt so strongly they could have called these witnesses, they could have had these witnesses, could have gone through the court proceedings to force the witnesses to testify over any privilege or at least had ruling by the court as to whether or not privilege would have applied. these witnesses may have nothing to say. this is delay tactic to try to continue this beyond the point, i think point is two or three-week trial on this issue. this issue should be dead. we should be moving on to important issues. liz: democrats are talking potentially bringing in chief

supreme court chief justice john roberts on this. he may have to excuse himself because weighed in on executive privilege, that argument. what is the senate republicans so-called kill switch. let trump's team ask a motion to dismiss articles fairly quickly after some evidence is presented. the democrats say they have overwhelming evidence that the president did halt aid to ukraine to force it to look into the bidens? >> yeah. i think that what majority leader mcconnell has done is try to make sure this isn't some sort of a political show. that this is a narrow and tight trial. that the president has the rights that he should have had in the house and didn't have. and that the house democrats can't control the senate calendar. i think mitch mcconnell's absolutely right, making sure that if the democrats don't meet a certain threshold the trial is over, and country gets back to its business. liz: even cnn ask why didn't democrats pursue subpoenas for

witnesses in court? cnn is also asking the democrats, are you in danger of interfering with your own 2020 candidates? i want to get to this. house intel chair adam schiff, he is the lead manager, he accused cia and nsa withholding information about ukraine. he didn't give any evidence of that. schiff dodged questions on abc this week about credibility of lev parnas the democrats new witness. parnas is under indictment on federal charges including making false claims. critics he wants to get leniency. what is reaction on adam schiff here? >> adam schiff had his opportunity and i blew it. he did not present a strong case. he presented a very weak case. it was a partisan vote in the house. if anything two democrats voted with republicans. adam schiff has failed and he is not going to succeed in the senate. he will not have a show in the senate when he failed to put a strong case together in the house. liz: house impeachment manager jerry nadler says any senators who vote against witnesses are

part of a coverup. nadler says any witnesses called about the bidens, talk about the bidens is part of a smear campaign. the biden campaign sent out an unusual memo, open memo to the media warning how they cover the biden's ukraine conflicts interests, saying story has already been debunked but author peter schweitzer said five biden family members got rich using the biden connection. we'll go deeper into the story later in the show. senator ted cruz says the president has a responsibility to the investigate the bidens, watch. >> i think one of the fundamental defenses i expect to hear from the white house this week is that the president has, inherent authority, in fact a responsibility to investigate corruption. when you look at what happened with joe biden and hunter biden, there is minimum a prima facie evidence of corruption. liz: your reaction to that? let me push back. democrats are saying this is not

material to the articles of impeachment themselves the hunter biden story? >> whole reason that president trump responded to president zelensky's statement about rudy giuliani and the bidens was, that it is relevant. that there is corruption in the ukraine. the president doesn't want to give u.s. taxpayer money to the ukraine if there is corruption that is ongoing. so he asked the president of the ukraine to look into corruption. that is part of the corruption. liz: including political rival, joe biden? >> including everybody. just because you run for president doesn't mean you get immunity. in this case the president of the ukraine should look into the bidens. i think u.s. senate should look into it. i don't know that it needs to be part of this impeachment trial. liz: senator lindsey graham really unloading on nancy pelosi. watch this. >> well, to my friend on the democratic side, you know, i like nancy pelosi. i've known her for years. i think she is a very relidge just person but when it comes to donald trump, nancy pelosi may

pray him privately but she orchestrated the church of holy hell, from the time trump has been sworn in until now it has been one thing after another. liz: nancy pelosi admitted impeachment started with mueller probe. your reaction to the holy hell characterization? >> impeachment agenda started before the president was eneven sworn in. all these democrats avoided going to the swearing-in ceremony, the inauguration. they have been talking about impeachment since day one. there have been newspaper headlines. let the impeachment begin from day one. it's bad. liz: congressman, great to see you. thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> also tonight, a massive pro-gun rights rally in richmond, virginia. it ended peacefully despite the tension surrounding the event. fox news reporter mark meredith is in richmond with more. mark? reporter: liz, earlier today thousands of people, really from all over the country showed up here in richmond, ready to show the opposition to some gun

control laws that state lawmakers here in virginia have been considering. among the laws up for consideration, limiting handgun purchases to one every 30 days. imposing universal background checks. allowing local governments to ban firearms in public spaces as well as creating red flag laws. many gun owners are eager to voice opposition. many have been openly caring weapons including handguns and long guns they were not worried coming out to richmond, because there was risk of potential violence law enforcement heard the possibility of hate groups could show up to today's rally. >> these people are responsible gun owners. these are true, red-blooded americans. i have met no one is threat to anyone. >> i don't believe there is any problems here. unless some people show up trying to antagonize a problem. the people here, we're all law-abiding citizens. we have no problems. we are not intent on causing any problems here. reporter: earlier today, police

had roadblocks set up all over downtown richmond. that way cars could not go where the demonstrations were happening. we did see a few counterdemonstrations happening but everything remained relatively calm and peaceful. everyone breathing a sigh of relief that no one was injured or arrested during today's rally. liz? liz: mark meredith. in richmond, virginia. thanks for your reporting. also tonight, the media blasted president trump for talking about corruption in puerto rico? now a big warehouse discovered there filled with unused u.s. survival disaster supplies sitting there since hurricane ma rye in 2017. >> $92 billion is in the hands of incompetent people and very corrupt people. but the governor's done a terrible job and the mayor of san juan has, she's horrible. i think she is terrible. she is so bad for her people.

fox news trey yingst joins us in jerusalem with more. reporter: liz, protests continue across places like iraq and lebanon as frustration grows regarding iranian influence in the region. in baghdad, two people were killed, a dozen injured as security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas. clashes erupted as hundreds of iraqis blocked main roads to the capital of baghdad. burning tires and barricades were used to block vision of gunmen who occasionally opened fired. 14 police officers have been injured as well since new clashes began over the weekend. similar anti-government protests in lebanon are taking place as demonstrators participate in a beak of rage. in beirut and tripoli, demonstrators threw stones and set fires to buildings. they are demanding a new government amid a growing economic crisis. lebanese banks are running out of money. as one demonstrator notes the

economy is in frozen. >> translator: this is the future of our children and our country. the country is frozen. this is not normal. the state is not doing anything. they are a bunch of thieves. reporter: in lebanon the focus is on militant group hezbollah that is backed by iran. protesters are straws traded that the government is more focused on citizens group than the citizens of lebanon. looking iraq, there is frustration with iranian backed shia militias, where the government supports their demands but not protesters there in the streets. liz. liz: trey yingst in jerusalem. thank you for your reporting. chaos in puerto rico, the governor firing three cabinet officials after a big warehouse was discovered with unused u.s. survival around disaster supplies for hurricane maria in 2017. this as puerto ricans have suffered through devastating forms, recently earthquakes. bring in fox news senior strategic analyst, retired

four-star general jack keane. thanks so much for joining us. unused bedding, cots, baby formula and medical supplies. your reaction? >> an absolute disgrace but symptomatic when you have weak local government with puerto rico at the city level and the governmental level. in continental united states we went through the very same thing with hurricane katrina and weak city government and governorship there. and, you're going to have those kind of problems when you have ineffective government. that is the reality of it. sad as it is, we're two years into this, the people of puerto rico are still suffering rather significantly, compounded by the recent earthquakes that they had on top of hurricane maria. liz: san juan mayor cruz used every opportunity to go on u.s. media to blame president trump, saying d.c. was not sending

enough aid. >> well i do think that, there is an issue with the federal post. it has to do with the promise of aid. the congress set aside $44 billion. only 16 billion of that has gotten into the hands of people to improve their lives. now part of that reason, if the government officials were speaking as opposed to me, they would say, well, we're very concerned about corruption. we're very concerned about a country that has financial insolvency, making certain that rules an regulations protections are there before we start giving american taxpayers money away to this relief operation. so there is some of that, very legitimate concerns. but i still think we're much too slow to respond to the needs of the people there. so all three governments are sharing in this responsibility of the people of puerto rico still suffering. liz: turn to the "washington post," running a head-scratching story, confusing people. the headline, trump uses

soleimani killing to burnish credentials. it quote as former military official saying that but then says, soleimani should have been taken out. here's president trump touting that drone strike on general soleimani. watch this. >> the democrats are outraged that we killed this terrorist monster. who is the king of the roadside bombs. great percentages of people don't have legs right now and arms because of this son of a [bleep] [cheering] liz: "the washington post" story also cites president obama touting as well the killing of osama bin laden. the media coverage of this story, your reaction? >> well i don't disabuse the president of conducting, taking a victory lap for taking soleimani down given the significance of what he represented, horrific loss of life we suffered under his hand, nor do i have any problem with

president obama doing much the same thing after tsunami was killed. he was up for re-election. he used that during the campaign for re-election. these are narrowly things that can take take place -- natural things that take place. the high point of the president's foreign policy, when the iranians retaliated against soleimani because it was a modest attack, the president moved towards diplomacy as opposed seeking a reattack, i believe that is the high point of his presidency. liz: getting back to the drone strike on soleimani, media, including "the washington post" still question it. israel's ambassador to the united nations danny danon told us yes, that soleimani was about to hit u.s. assets, watch this. >> i know soleimani what he did, was planning to do to u.s. targets, to your embassies, of not against israel but against american people. the decision by president trump

was important decision. liz: forgive me, president trump and white house has been attacked for saying that soleimani was going to attack u.s. embassies saying there was in proof of that. but you're saying there was? >> absolutely. liz: have you seen it? >> for 19 years mr. soleimani was mastermind of terrorism in the region and the world. we saw attacks in europe -- liz: do you have proof they were going to attack u.s. embassies? >> he was going to plan attacks against american targets, against european targets and against middle east earn targets and he was funding all those attacks. it was the right decision at the right time and we support president trump for that. liz: general, your reaction? >> listen the administration has not released all the information that they had that drove their decision to, to take out soleimani. they knew he was directing, planning, coordinating an attack. but because the information we have is so tied to the source, liz, we're not releasing that. we only released it to the two

intelligence committees and also the "gang of eight," the leadership of the house, the leadership of the senate. we did not release it to the congress at large, nor are any administration officials talk about it because it is highly classified because of the source and we don't want to disrupt getting that information again when we need it. liz: that's important information, general, you just cited. that we don't have a full story for a reason, it's classified. final word. >> absolutely guaranteed soleimani attack, was planning attacks on us and taking him out was right and long overdue. liz: thank you for your service to my country, my friend. come back soon. to social media ripping into "the new york times" for endorsing not one but two candidates. it is a split decision that has zero impact. shows even "the new york times" like iowa voters and other voters cannot make up their minds on who is the best

scurrilous. if you really look at this case it is like public corruption 101. when you withhold, threaten to withhold government funds from another country, unless they fire the individual investigating your son's company, that is pretty basic. i think it is, it is a good basis for an investigation. whether or not it will happen or not i don't know but if it was anybody else i think it would happen. liz: biden is saying, you know, he did call for the ouster of the prosecutor. that the u.s. and eu and imf called for it because he was not doing enough to look into the corruption. he wanted more aggressive probe. so this story is out there. i want to move on to this. author peter schweizer says the bigger story is this, five bidden family members got rich off vice president joe biden, starting with joe's brother james biden, executive vice president, no experience in construction. his connection to joe biden helped that company get construction contracts in iraq, puerto rico, mozambique, elsewhere, worth potentially

hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. your reaction there? >> that is been going on time in memorial, people profited off relationship with politicians. proving that is criminal act is something else again. it warrants inquiry. i want any companies that profited have any financial association with joe biden? as an investigator, commander i would want to know that. that would be one of the first things i would look at, what is the relationship, did he profit in some way? probably not but as investigator you will look at that. liz: the book claims the husband of biden's daughter ashley works at a company called start-up health. he is the chief medical officer there. joe biden helped launch this startup, visiting with the company officials, bringing them into the obama while house. looks like there is a lot of people going in and out of the obama white house on behalf of joe biden. also joe biden helped his brother frank's real estate endeavors development company in costa rica. the vice president visited the

company, oversaw the caribbean and latin america for the obama administration. the obama administration announced a big development deal involving frank biden, developers there. the story there. go ahead? >> same thing. it is profiting from your association with the vice president of united states. it is not necessarily illegal to do that. you have to show some kind of quid pro quo. that is very common term right now, did these people benefit illegally? the answer we don't know. but certainly raises enough questions to warrant inquiry. i think we should clear the deck. the question here is, do we have the courage as a country to go after an individual through criminal prosecution that may be next president of the united states. i don't know that we do. something to think about. i think it insulated hillary clinton from bosscution in her email scandals. interesting time. we have laws -- liz: critics are saying you know, the obama administration approved fisa wiretaps on an

opposition campaign. the president calling for investigations into corruption is getting impeached. it is about a political rivalry, we understand it. to your point it is unusual times, danny. thanks for joining us danny coulson formally with the fbi. come back soon. >> thank you. liz: next story, border security, i.c.e. ratcheting up heat on democratic mayor of new york city and his sanctuary policies. i.c.e. releasing a list of aliens new york city let go with a long list of violent crimes. next up, how i.c.e. is fighting back. >> they don't want crime, that is what you get, when you have open borders. we want them to come into the country. we want them to come in through merit. we want them to come in legally. . it's these unique companies with creative business models that will generate value for our investors. that's why i go beyond the numbers.

[♪] liz: to border security, i.c.e. ratcheting up the pressure on new york city's sanctuary policies after new york city released an illegal alien who assaulted his taughter who then went on to allegedly rape and murder a the 2-year-old one and. and. -- a 92-year-old woman. sheriff. your reaction to this story? >> it's an example of failed

leadership. when leaders fail to protect their citizens, they need to step up and accept that responsibility. the mayor has not even given sympathy expressions to the family. liz: i.c.e. put out a list showing new york city released thousands of illegal aliens arrested for nearly 18,000 violent crimes, homicides, sexual assaults, gang assaults and robbery. it includes nigeria, mexico, honduras, spain, el salvador? >> i'm not surprised on that. in 2019 there were 141 subjects coming into the united states on the southwest border.

1,100 gang members. it amazing me that we are having this conversation. we have leaders in this country, mayors, governors who actually promote open borders and -- and pro note criminal behavior. liz: this country has been about legal immigration. there are 22 million estimated illegal immigrants in this country. i.c.e. issued subpoenas to sanctuary cities to find out the status of criminal illegal aliens. i.c.e. may be taking sanctuary cities to court to fight them on this. we are talking again charged with murder, sexual assault may be released again in new york.

deblasio says sanctuary cities make the city safer. >> we need to look into the future where this is going to go. mayors like deblasio that said it's okay. in five, ten years it will be a disaster. this is about the quality of life. our job is to protect americans and enhance quality of life. i don't see where his policies or the policies of failed leaders are work. they are not working. liz: i.c.e. acting director says those who politicize the issue want you to believe that you have to choose between being an immigrant-friendly city and one that cooperates with i.c.e. quick final word. >> liz, politics have no

business in public safety. liz: sheriff, thank you for joining us. and thank you for having us in your homes. lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. have a good evening. [♪] lou: good evening, everybody. president trump is on his way to davos, switzerland where he will meet with european globalist elites and carry with him this message. i was right and you were wrong. the president will open the world economic forum with his speech tomorrow morning followed by meetings with several world leaders over the next two days, bilateral sessions. and the president leaving on the eve of the radical dimms sham impeachment trial. the president's legal brief urged the dismissal of
