the president. all of you know your constitution. the way that impeachment stops is when the senate majority with me as majority leader. rob: mitch mcconnell pledging to protect the president from the escalating impeachment battle. jillian: what power does it have and is it possible for the republican held senate to stepping? robert driscoll, a lot of people at home constantly hear the word impeachment and people wonder where this will go, is this a possibility and if it goes to the senate floor does mitch mcconnell have that power? >> thanks for having me. it is a two step process. the house has to vote to impeach the president and if they do that the constitution requires a trial in the senate. the way that trial works is not specifically defined. impeachment is an inherently political act and senators decide whether there is high crime or misdemeanor and whether they want to remove the president from office. the majority leader has a lot of discretion in terms of setting

up how the procedure will work so certainly mcconnell is right, the way it could end is in the senate with him in charge of the senate majority. rob: let's look at options mcconnell has. the first one is granting the majority the power to hear live testimony. how is that utilized by mitch mcconnell? >> they took the star report and had managers present the case to the senate but you can have a full trial situation, the chief justice presiding and have a like a trial on law and order or something like that with witnesses questioning in the senate. with republicans in the majority they would control, have more control over questioning the witnesses than the minority would and that is something of the we would consider but

frankly would be more of a circus than you would want if you want to defend the president. >> how does impeachment work? >> one of the senators could bring forward a motion in the majority leader can essentially, the equivalent of a motion to dismiss in the civil trial where he could bring the matter of impeachment up to the senate and say assuming what is alleged has happened we don't think it is an impeachable offense and we will not spend much time on it. the majority leader has been clear there has to be a trial in the senate and will follow constitutional obligation unless the rules are changed but he also said the amount of time we spend on that is another matter so certain ways to short-circuit the process if that is what he wants to do but all of these are political decisions in terms of what he thinks the american public want that would protect his political interests. rob: to go to trial in the senate is what he can make

happen and says taken up. one last question. mitch mcconnell forced the identity of the whistleblower to keep it under wraps, he forced the person to be out? >> i don't think it will go that far. i have read the stories that the reality, keeping someone's identity secret and talking about something as serious as impeaching a president, the notion that you are going to do this on secret evidence, testimony somewhere offsite, i don't think will sit well with the american people and basic notions of due process at some point that witness will have to be identified. if they want to take steps to protect them, that is fine but anonymous complaints will take that president, not consistent with any notion of due process. jillian: thank you for joining us with that information. three patients die in an

intensive care unit of bacterial infection. what you need to know. >> what i find totally disappointing and disgusting, a governor is wasting his time. rob: a college basketball coach and a new controversial law.

waterborne bacterial infection. doctor jeanette explained how this infection spreads. >> it was naturally in the environment and loves the water. what damp areas, what goes wrong in the hospital if someone doesn't wash their hands. handwashing is the number one way to present the spread of infection and we see this equipment. >> four babies recovered from the list and one still being treated. they are being treated to other hospitals. a new lawsuit claims fortnight is as addictive as cocaine the canadian law firm launching a proposed class-action lawsuit claiming it releases a chemical and to give brains making them defendant on it. and the company should have a

warning about the dangers. kim jong un college basketball coach blasting california's governor over the paid to play law. he spent the last 20 years coaching in washington, he says allowing student-athletes to get paid for their name and likeness should not be up to politicians. >> a governor is wasting his time, grandstanding around. he should stay in his lane and figure out homelessness, and got a state that orders mexico. rob: gavin newsom signed the pay to play law into law last week. the trump campaign and slamming the mayor of minneapolis for charging half 1 million half $1 million in security fees and the president's rally.

he accused jacob fry of attempting to extort the campaign, quote, just because he hates the president after the mayor banned police officers from using their uniforms, the union created these cops for trump t-shirts. the man behind the idea sounding off on the snub. >> there has been hypocrisy, officers are ordered to be behind him and when republicans are in town they are not allowed to be. what better way to show support for donald trump. rob: proceeds go toward police federation charities. >> 26 after the hour, joe biden unveiled his plan for higher education, we break it down. rob: aoc wants to have a, quote, real conversation about prison abolition, no more prisons. richard lawrence jones, how she

in 1980, the white house calling him a thought leader and strong conservative voice, a policy strong enough to end the cold war in securing his support in texas. >> 2020 democrat joe biden just unveiled his plan for higher education. >> foxbusiness, here with a breakdown of the $750 billion proposal. >> biden is calling this a bold plan for education and training beyond high school. he outlined a number of ideas and promises with this plan. americans will have a choice to join or maintain their place in the middle class regardless of their parents income or the color of their skin. his administration would invest in community colleges, something he and president obama started in 2015.

every working person including those attending school part-time and dreamers can go to community college for two years without having to pay tuition and he is putting a $50 billion investment in workforce training including community college business and apprenticeship while decreasing payment on undergraduate federal student loans by increasing the generosity of the income-based repayment program and increasing the support of historically black colleges and universities, minority serving institutions and tribal colleges and universities by doubling hell grants, slashing income-based repayment loans to 5% of income and investing $18 billion in grants, higher education a hot topic among 2020 democratic candidates with 44 million americans with a portal of the trillion dollars in student

loans. rob: the number of isis arrests in the us more than doubled in the last year, 24 people charged with terrorism offenses as of last month compared to 11, jim hansen of security studies joined us earlier saying this is a good sign. >> we have pushed isis out of the entire area that was there caliphate. the fighters that survived are going other places. we are picking up those folks, the fbi making those arrests before these guys commit an actual terrorist act. rob: 194 people are charged with isis related offenses since 2014. jillian: the judge who gave a hug and bible to amber guyger defending her actions, she wanted to give guyger hope. >> please, mister jean has

not what she is suggesting she wants violent criminals to get on the streets and when you ask for that, it hurts the inroads we have been able to make. in the trump administration they passed an act that allows a lot of these sentences on these mandatory minimums and for a while it took a while to get on board because of people like aoc saying they wanted to release violent criminals on the street so it is a bipartisan issue. >> prison abolition is pretty crazy. look at our tweet, i spoke with a woman who was thrown in rikers, jail in new york city, as a teenager, put in solitary confinement for months, force-fed pills, conditions were so bad she too drank out of toilets. a cage is a cage and humans don't belong in them.

but no mention of what the person might have done. >> a lot of things are not factual. a lot of us want to revisit solitary confinement. but she doesn't note the toilet is connected together in prison. just -- doing this, not really being factual. jillian: she says i know the term prison abolition is breaking people's brains, the right is freaking out yet us incarcerates more than anywhere in the world, we have more than enough room to close prisons and explore alternatives to incarceration. >> a lot of us are fighting the good fight but we can't have violent offenders roaming the streets. jillian: there's a way to make progress. those are different thoughts.

rob: aoc represents the bronx. a lot of her district has a problem with crime. what happens to her constituents in those neighborhoods if you just say nobody goes to prison anymore. >> he is trying to give red meat to the base but the bronx, one of the most effective areas, many of them are her constituents. they will be affected and they jones want the rapists and murderers on the streets as well. rob: thank you for joining us. welcome to it. 37 after the hour. at a tipping point china banned all nba games overnight. the latest in the fight supporting hong kong. >> the nfl player raising money for charity after throwing a flag over his head band. carly shimkus has the reaction.

>> it is unfortunate. if that, the consequences of adhering to our values. jillian: the nba commissioner reacting to china banning broadcasting of preseason games. rob: this after the houston rockets general manager tweeted but deleted this message. fight for freedom, stand with hong kong talking about protesters fighting for democracy. jillian: the reaction to several nba games scheduled to be played in china later this week. >> the follow continues with china's state media making a

major announcement that they are suspending preseason games. this is a big deal considering an estimated 500 million people in china watch the nda. after writing the tweet that start it all, i have always appreciated the significant support chinese fans and sponsors have provided and i would hope those who are upset will know the offender misunderstanding was not my intention but the nba quickly working to smooth things over but the apology sparking backlash from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who say the nba is caving to communism. florida republican senator rick scott tweeting the nba is more interested in money than human rights. on the other side of the aisle elizabeth warren chiming in saying china is trying to use its market power to silence free speech and criticism of its conduct. the nba chose its pocketbook

over its principles. fans sounding off as well. this person saying rockets fan since birth and this is really sad. this isn't politics. the nba getting a quick lesson in china's the root tolerance policy for criticism. >> adam silver said he would meet with chinese officials. this is not over. rob: all they care about is money. that's talk about james comey and donald trump as characters in a tv miniseries. jillian: cbs studios turning james comey memoir a higher loyalty into miniseries and jeff daniels will play james comey

and brendan gleeson of harry potter fame will play donald trump. what do you think. i could see it working out. and not everyone is looking forward to this show. look at these fiery tweets. jeff, giving the trader a platform, hollywood really is disconnected with the american people and lastly what a waste of great talent. cbs's the show will be responsible and a comprehensive account of real life events. jillian: the nfl has strict rules on uniforms, what players are allowed or not allowed to wear and they don't always care. >> new orleans saints linebacker davis was fined $7000 for wearing this head band that said man of god on it but he went to instagram, posted should i still wear this headband? the money goes to a children's charity, the mission continues, the post flooded with people

saying he should but like you said there's a policy in the nfl where you can't wear anything with a personal message on it and this falls under the guidelines but sometimes rules are meant to be broken. >> we will see what he continues to do. thanks. rob: university intolerance on full display. >> stand up, fight back! stand up, fight back! rob: the acting dhs chief shouted off the stage at georgetown university, a georgetown student says not everybody is happy with how this was handled. jillian: pete hegseth with "fox and friends". >> i'm going to stand in your studio with a big banner and say stand up and fight back and see if you can do the whole show.

>> not all students were happy with how the school handed that. they wanted hear what he had to say. the response, what are your fellow students saying on campus last night and this morning? >> it is great to be here. a lot of my fellow students i disappointed at the behavior of the protesters. we have a unique opportunity to have speakers like secretary mc illinin to offer perspective and experiences with us and it is a valuable insight into government regardless of a student's political beliefs. i wish we could set aside our partisanship, and very valuable for education. rob: we do not limit speech.

we share our partners regret, georgetown law committed to free-speech, the ability of speakers to be heard and engage in the dialogue. we cite the democrats debate they had protesters in there and moved to them out of the room and they could continue to hear what -- in this case do you think the school should have kicked people out of their? >> i was not at the event so i'm not sure what the right course of action, i think the event should have continued because the students who came to hear from the speakers had a right to learn from the speakers. a recent event was handled differently where protesters were moved out of the room and the event was restarted under different circumstances. it probably should have been

done that way to allow students who were there for the right reasons to learn from acting secretary mc illinin. >> are you surprised you are seeing this type of protesting on-campus? i don't remember this happening when we were in school. >> since we live in partisan times and since georgetown is a politically interested school along with increasingly more schools as we see leadership institute for campus reform report on political activity throughout the country at different universities but especially georgetown, i think you will probably see more protests and strong opinions among georgetown presidents. we can do in a civil fashion in a way that doesn't deprive people of their right to free speech and access to education. rob: better than silencing the other voices in the room. appreciate it.
