7:00 am
and go to him live. not enough edge. we will see you tomorrow. two of the three. neil: naming names. we have a few of them. fox news learning the names of republicans who want to testify in the upcoming impeachment program. hunter biden and the ukraine whistleblower among them. will democrats approve them? they have veto power, and how much anyone hears. i am neil cavuto, the listed names and the light of day. >> reporter: fox news obtained a copy of the gop witness wish list and it is clear that
7:01 am
republicans want to turn the attention of the hearings to the biden family and alleged efforts by democrats in 2016 to dig up dirt on candidate trump via ukraine. and the biggest you mentioned, emerging as a central figure due to business dealings. and the ukrainian american who served the dnc and another familiar name, nelly ohr who worked on the opposition fusion gps which produce the trump dossier. republicans are requesting several officials who were questions behind closed doors including tim morrison, former ukraine envoy kurt voelker and state department official david hail. and the whistleblower along with anonymous sources referenced in their complaint also on that witness wish list
7:02 am
which is key because this is simply a request, adam schiff has to approve which witnesses will testify. this week several witnesses are scheduled to testify in public on wednesday. we will hear from ambassador william taylor and george kent and on thursday we will hear from former ukrainian ambassador marie yavanovitch. all testify behind closed doors, selections of their transcript have been released but we have all of the last few days and we are told democrats have been selectively releasing these transcripts one by one to lay the groundwork for the public hearings, which they are hoping will build public support for their impeachment inquiry going forward. neil: a lot of republicans get their list of witnesses approved or not and they can
7:03 am
participate -- >> the questioning will be divided equally among the majority and minority members over the next week. calling the witnesses is key here. that is something republicans have been hammering on because you can only ask questions to those who show up and those who show up can only answer so many questions. democrat suggested a lot of witnesses have nothing to do in their eyes with this impeachment inquiry going forward in that alleged corruption between the trump white house and ukraine. neil: thank you very much. let's get the read on all of this from andrew mccarthy, former us attorney. thank you for taking the time. i'm looking at the list they want including hunter biden and the whistleblower, nelly ohr, the ukrainian american consultant for the dnc and on and on. i see very little likelihood adam schiff would approve any of them.
7:04 am
>> what they want to establish, it is not a fair proceeding because adam schiff has a dog in the fight so to speak. he is the one who gets to decide what is relevant. if he were to example grant the request call hunter biden that would be an implicit admission that hunter biden had relevance to this inquiry which is something they have been fighting against. i wouldn't expect to see that but it is good that republicans are showing they have an alternative version of events. nelly ohr is an interesting choice on the list because she is tied to fusion gps which is the outfit that cranked out the steel dossier which is essentially discredited. she testified in house hearings.
7:05 am
she testified in house hearings, fusion gps had a source in the ukrainian legislature, and that gets you into the whole manafort ledger, the idea that the obama administration leaning on the ukrainians to investigate the trump campaign or investigate manafort. they are trying to establish they had an alternative version and democrats are not letting the public hear it. neil: i have heard even from republicans, even if there was a delay, holding back on ukraine, the president didn't get what he wanted on joe biden and his son hunter biden, the republicans, there is no there there, high crimes and misdemeanor, move on. that will be the raging debate.
7:06 am
>> it really should be. that is the defense from the beginning, no quid pro quo defense gets anywhere, that is not the grounds the president wants to fight this on. you want to give ground where you should and move disputes to where you are strongest. under the construct the framers gave us to impeach a president there has to be conduct so egregious that there is a public consensus that cuts across partisan lines, the president needs to be removed, such that it would move two thirds of the senate to vote to remove him. they don't have anything close to that. i would hammer that and put the focus on adam schiff who i don't think is a fair broker here. neil: thanks for helping us out on a saturday. much appreciate it. the fallout from all of this,
7:07 am
there are eight people republicans want to interview and question. the odds of all of them appearing before the committee our next to none but there are a couple names, the timing of their appearance they could be interesting and revealing. former finance committee members here, and democratic strategists -- adam schiff, i understand what he says, the ukraine whistleblower, even though you could make the case that is a legitimately interesting interview but can't ignore all of them. >> it takes off the table the idea that it is not a fair hearing if he says here are some witnesses. tim morrison in particular seems like a fair person to call. hunter biden is not material whether he was on the phone
7:08 am
call. the scope of the inquiry is not hunter biden but it is obvious why they want to do that. they are trying to take it in a different direction -- neil: the phone call based on the dealings and ukraine and front and center to get it out there and understand this is why the president was making the call in the first place. where is this going? >> your innocent until proven guilty. to block witnesses in this process would be an injustice to the president and it would be an injustice to our constitution. those witnesses have to come forward. biden was the subject of the phone call and needs to be on the stand, trump was in my eyes
7:09 am
just trying to, the president was just trying to call out someone doing something wrong. i don't think it is an impeachable offense. neil: you can always raise the question what do you think word anybody but joe biden? >> correct. when it comes to anybody related to joe biden, i agree, they need to put their names for because what we were here next week is from jim jordan, representative over the intelligence committee, former wrestling coach who is going to be grilling the witnesses. in addition to trying to cloud their testimony and cast a shadow of doubt about third-party information, he will also do something in addition to that and bring up the fact that democrats have made this very political including not bringing forward some of the witnesses the gop has put forward. it will be extremely strategic. at the end of the day it is about public opinion and who will win over the public.
7:10 am
neil: it looks worrisome for democrats. there is a limit to how much they can see beyond this, looking like a political witchhunt. some have raised eyebrows about the call but it is not moving republicans or budging democrats, republicans overwhelmingly not. it is moving the needle here. >> if you look at polls on this the needle has moved some on this. for they are focusing on their jobs and licenses and day today. and these are televised, people mart might start - >> worst-case, worst case,
7:11 am
someone sees that. >> i don't think they had a smoking gun. the american public, they have seen the cavanagh hearings and are tired of it. >> i think they are. this is where democrats overplayed their hand. looking at the robert mueller testimony before congress. it is a disaster for the democrats. neil: this whole thing started with mueller and the probe. >> this is why nancy pelosi was so hesitant for this to come forward. what we were here next week is nothing new. that is a problem for democrats who want to make is about impeachment. the house will impeachment the senate, the senate can drag this out until election day. this comes down to whether they will turn the tide for who people vote for, this works in the president's favor.
7:12 am
neil: you are not the first to say that. a number of democrats urging nancy pelosi can we wrap this up? their way to say you have done your due diligence, you have public hearings going, there is no way to advance this? >> then you are certainly accused of a witchhunt because you didn't hear the testimony. >> they will hear the testimony and conclude there is not enough to go on. >> the reality is all science point towards moving toward impeachment in the house and in the senate. what is important for -- neil: will then move alone be deemed disastrous for democrats? >> democrats have to do what they think is right even if there are political consequences. of democratic house members leave he committed impeachable offenses it is their constitutional duty and responsibility. >> whether it is right or wrong they will do it. >> that may be so and people think he has done other thing, charlottesville comments that they deem impeachable offenses.
7:13 am
i think the reality is democrats have on this particular issue something -- a lot of national security backgrounds. that was a big turning point. this is impeachable, this is wrong, this is dangerous. neil: congress is a waste of time. >> it is clearly a witchhunt. when it comes down -- neil: the nixon one started, it appeared to be a witchhunt. >> i think it will get dragged out to the election and when it comes to election time people will vote with their pockets. look at the economy. we are in one of the greatest growth periods in the history of our country, the stock market is booming. neil: but point to the polls. >> he hasn't head wents. neil: 30 years ago today where were you? the berlin wall came tumbling down and the statue of ronald reagan is going up.
7:14 am
ambassador to germany rick brunel coming up. we're more of the plan, invest and protect kind of help... voya. helping you to and through retirement.
7:15 am
there's a company that's talked than me: jd power.people 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. so on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say "thank you, real people." you're welcome. we're gonna need a bigger room.
7:16 am
7:17 am
>> mister gorbachev, tear down this wall. neil: and they did. 30 years ago today, mikhail gorbachev answering ronald reagan's colin tearing down that wall separating east and west berlin. the us ambassador to germany, rick brunel, you were not even alive back then but very good having you. how is it being greeted in the two germanys, now the one germany today? >> i can tell you i met with angela merkel yesterday and saw her again today and it is always a thank you to the americans. that percolates all the way down to every day germans, every day europeans.
7:18 am
they know there is a strong voice for freedom. not long ago it was the east german government that tried to limit that freedom and limit information, limit the flow of people so they wouldn't get information. today we have to remember we still have governments around the world the try to limit information, try to stop the internet in their country, try to limit the free flow and free information of the people. we have different ways the state is moving to control the behavior of individuals and we have to constantly remember to fight back against that and we can be successful. look at what is happening in germany where we are celebrating the reunification of germany, 30 years of the berlin wall falling. neil: we still have suppression of public information in china, as if this never happened in their eyes. what do you think of that?
7:19 am
>> i have long thought that we should really look for ways, as the us government, to push forward this technology that allows government censors to fall. all of the trappings the government, authoritarian governments put up to limit that information via the internet. the limitation the state is trying to put on people. we have the ability, the west has the ability to go around government censors whether it is iran or cuba or china. we have to be able to do that and be on the side of giving people more information, giving them the ability to make their own choices and personal freedom. that is what the west stands for an. we have to remind ourselves that we have those challenges today. neil: so many young people don't remember the significance
7:20 am
of the day or the we had two germanys. it is something the president, they have to pony up to be a member of nato, how much they contribute. other countries contribute. the german reaction tends to be shrugged shoulders. what do you think? >> i would say that is true over the past several years. certainly in the bush administration i worked in and the obama administration, we asked to increase defense spending. we did it very nicely. that didn't work. we have tried a new style where donald trump is being very direct. his tweets are very direct. his requests of germany are very direct. we have to look at the fact that the different style is working. some people in washington and
7:21 am
the media likes to complain about it, but the facts are the different style is working. we have seen $100 billion increase in european spending on defense since donald trump started pushing, since 2016. that success you cannot argue with and just yesterday we had the defense minister of germany commit to getting to the 2% by 2031. that is a bold step. it is not fast enough. the deadline has been 2024, but the germans, the largest economy, are trying to do something like that and we will complement them. neil: thank you very much. thank you for your service to this country. republicans on the house intelligence committee revealing their witness wish list ahead of next week's
7:22 am
hearings. we have to speak to a member of that committee. equity trades? um ah, i'll look into it. lisa jones! hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades? laughs/umm.. and do i get my fees back if i'm not happy? like a satisfaction guarantee? ugh. schwab! oh right, i'm calling schwab. thanks carl! wait, lisa! lisa... are you getting commission free trades and a satisfaction guarantee? if not, talk to schwab. a modern approach to wealth management.
7:23 am

7:24 am
7:25 am
neil: i hear that guy is harder than hot. four days from the first open impeachment hearing and house republicans are revealing their witness wish list that includes hunter biden, the whistleblower, you name it. joining me on the likelihood of getting them before microphone, republican house intelligence committee member, very good to have you, thank you for taking
7:26 am
the time. >> glad to do it. how are you today? neil: very good. i'm looking at the list of names for you and your fellow republicans. i see little likelihood of any of them being allowed to talk. maybe there's a possibility a national security council official but i would assume anyone connected to hunter biden or the whistleblower or david archer, the board member, next to nil. did you know that going into this? or were you saying it in a weak moment this might prove it? >> you call today wish list. for us that is what it is. a wish list. this is a well-thought-out wish list was we didn't want to put down names of people they were going to call anyway we wanted to talk to because we know they will be coming up but this is another example to the american people. they can calling whoever they want.
7:27 am
they didn't have disability list to us. we have to submit a list of them by today that adam schiff alone gets to decide who can come in. we want the american people to know these are people we want to talk to and off the record may be we can have a conversation with america about why we want to speak to these people especially the was a blower and anyone associated with the whistleblower which would include adam schiff and his lawyer. neil: i'm sure you're not stunned to hear we are operating under the same system republicans use when going after bill clinton and we petitioned different people and they turned us down. this is how it goes to deal with it. >> for one thing it wasn't going through the intel committee. all the rules were different and there was a thought out process before the inquiry began. that did not happen in this case.
7:28 am
that is a false narrative from the get-go. there have been a multitude of things. we are the intelligence committee. neil: i want to be clear. another issue comes up that now that we have this process, awkward as it is an democrats have admitted some of it. it is not wise for the president or any of the people around him to refuse an opportunity to testify were state their case, that only worsens it. what do you think? >> that may be arguable but we can go back to executive privilege, are we weakening the process which was defended by so many people including john brennan and other instances when it didn't involve is president but did involve the previous president. they have a case to be made on that and listening to your previous guest, america is tired of it. this is a situation we are
7:29 am
going to impeach this president. we just need a reason and we are going to find one. the russian collusion narrative fell on its face and i believe this will also. we have a transcription of what the president said. ukraine got the aid. no one knew the aid was being delayed. tell me how that can be a quid pro quo which is the accusation they made. i'm curious who was involved. you think speaker pelosi said we will have an inquiry before the complaint without, that tells you something there. there are a lot of people, the whistleblower may have had contact with someone we would like to contact but i don't think we will have the opportunity. it is not fair to america. neil: you learn the aid was delayed until the president got what he wanted and democrats say they have the proof, is that an impeachable offense if they have that proof? >> i don't think so. one of the things we did learn
7:30 am
is aid is often delayed for a variety of reasons. you want to do some vetting. as an american i would want a president who is cautious who and where we deliver aid to. that seems to make sense. you want to deliver a to a country that is supposed to go to the people and government takes it and warlords take it, no. do you want to give aid to a country involved in corruption? know. i think it is wise to take that seriously before you deal with a lot of taxpayer dollars. neil: if this were anybody but joe biden with the president be interested? >> i think so. he is interested in corruption. so is the new president of ukraine. that seems to me there would be a common conversation to have. you talk about a quid pro quo, how can you look at that
7:31 am
conversation joe biden gave the american public where he described how he threatened them that if they don't do what he says, how can anyone look at that and not take that seriously if they are taking this seriously? neil: we will watch it unfold, thanks for taking time. donald trump is ready for this matchup, former new york city mayor michael bloomberg positions himself to enter the 2020 race. the former mayor says he said haven't seen anybody who can beat donald trump is the president saying he would love to see bloomberg try. for all their hard work and sacrifice. we all sleep easier knowing you're out there keeping us safe. and on a personal note... sfx: jet engines ... i just needed to get that off my chest. thank you. geico: proudly supporting the military for over 75 years.

7:35 am
neil: former new york city mayor michael bloomberg incense to file to the arkansas primary had of the tuesday deadline. he might be skipping the early caucuses, rudy giuliani tried that and we know how that worked out for him but a different road and a different strategy and a winning one. allison barber on how they are reacting to that. >> the former mayor of new york city designated himself a presidential candidate, has not officially said he is running for president but donald trump, nothing. >> he's not going to do well
7:36 am
but he doesn't have the magic to do well. little michael will fail. he will spend a lot of money, he has some really big issues and personal problems and a lot of other problems. >> reporter: the president told reporters he has known bloomberg for a long time. both are wealthy new york businessman. trump said he things bloomberg long considered a centrist could hurt the democrat leading in the polls, the one in the moderate lane. joe biden. if bloomberg does get in the race he could shake things up. elizabeth warren and bernie sanders have focused a lot on wealth inequality and heavily criticized the superrich. bloomberg is a billionaire. warren tweeted a link to her calculator for the billionaires. another billionaire making headlines for pushing back on warren's tax plan. >> 6% wealth tax. i happen to believe something
7:37 am
in the middle, if you tax too much you risk the capital formation, a desirable place, you risk that. neil: thank you very much. elizabeth warren taking on billionaires with wealth tax, that handy calculator. if you want to crunch the numbers now, crunch away. charles payne, go ahead. lauren simonetti is here. what do you make of what she is saying? even bill gates is saying it. about 100 billion - >> there's a reason america is the most supreme country in the world, let's not forget that. if you want to change everything think of the consequences. bill gates offered elizabeth
7:38 am
warren a good out this weekend she saw then and responded on twitter, you will not pay 100 billion. she got so much heat from all sides. neil: why be a crybaby about it? >> she declared war on the rich and what a lot of folks should be worried about is, always starts with billionaires but it ends up being someone with a small business, $1 million here with more employees, you can own a hair salon or two hair salons or plumbing operation. those are the industries, people that get hurt and that is where growth comes from in this country, small businesses provide most of the jobs. neil: part of bloomberg's interest in the white house was the emergence, thinks biden is slipping out of there. do you believe him? >> he tried many times to field
7:39 am
the waters. is there a pathway to victory? over and over again he said no but he was looking at the race because joe biden has $8 billion cash on hand and is not doing as well. he is seeing elizabeth warren emerge as the front runner. the country where elizabeth warren is blowing up capitalism and maybe the middle class but he sees this, he is 77 years old, as an opportunity, michael bloomberg doesn't think it is elizabeth warren and doesn't think it is joe biden. he thinks this is his time. maybe it is him. i don't know what a bloomberg trump election would look like, two all the rich white guys going up against each other but michael bloomberg thinks he can do it. neil: this idea that it is easy
7:40 am
to go after the rich or worry about it. the medicare for all plan, the middle class is affected. if you look at all private insurance policies, the tax advantage status, to pay for those premiums goes away, $1.8 trillion for ten years to say nothing of the trade impact that would take in the middle class. is she being a tad disingenuous. >> dear point she is, what it reads to me is trying to energize a narrow base she had in the democratic party. >> it helps all the more. >> look at the democratic landscape. buttigieg is very smart but raising a lot of money.
7:41 am
warren is coming out is the front runner but with the rhetoric it doesn't seem that kind to businesses. bloomberg in new york city when he was mayor, from the arts to everything else, a prime example of how wealth can be used for good. for her to come out. >> bruce wayne used to say that in batman. >> a terrible example of that. >> i don't know. >> i was just kidding about that. a lot of billionaires are resending bill gates and others, there is going to be a boomerang affect, i give a lot to charity.
7:42 am
that is falling on deaf ears and a large swath of the democratic party. what is something these rich guys don't? >> a lot of rich people, they forget the actual day-to-day struggle. donated to the arts. for someone whose mother was born in the projects. they live in the projects and don't have any hope in their minds of getting out of their projects. the billionaires need to articulate the message a little more. here's the blueprints, share the blueprints, don't tell me what you did with the money but share the blueprint so you can encourage me and how i can benefit the way you did and they are doing a good job of that. i called him up and said can you come on the show and have 400 interviews, call me in
7:43 am
december. the point is they feel they do good things, no one wants to be guilty, has a hard time, to tell others how they can benefit better and get on this. >> it is not just philanthropic donations they are making. i think about who the progressive base is. a lot of these people are artists and struggling and they are speaking out against these wealthy people and the arts that did not get funded because bloomberg - >> got a democrat elected in kentucky. that was in the arts. >> it was a moderate, a centrist.
7:44 am
neil: do you wonder why in the middle of the ill will toward capitalism we have an arctic blast in this country, we connect, might just want to hide. it's a competition for the talent. employees need more than just a paycheck. you definitely want to take advantage of all the benefits you can get. 2/3 of employees said that the workplace is an important source for personal savings and protection solutions. the workplace should be a source of financial security. keeping your people happy is what keeps your people. that's financial wellness. put your employees on a path to financial wellness with prudential.
7:45 am
7:46 am
7:47 am
neil: the winter weather blast the likes of which we haven't seen this season gripping much of the country and breaking records as it does so. our chief meteorologist is keeping track of it. >> we might be talking about breaking records for this time of year across the eastern states, two thirds of the country really cold, the cold air is in place. feels like temperatures around freezing in nashville, 39 in atlanta. the first batch of cold air has moved on, temperatures around the freezing mark in the great lakes as well as across the mid-atlantic to the northeast. the cold is already here now. we will watch a few storms move
7:48 am
in this week because the cold air is in place and snow, coastal areas in the big cities all rain except boston. go across the interior sections a lot of snow across northern new england and the southern appalachians and tennessee, kentucky, west virginia. the cold air will dive down a little bit, these impulses behind a couple fronts that will move through and by tuesday into wednesday the coldest temperatures across the east, monday night into tuesday across the northern plains, temperatures in the fixed digits over the overnight hours. it is good these temperatures are "happening now" in november. if it were here in january we would be talking about will be low, 20, 30 ° below 0. that is the one bit of bright news but it will feel very cold
7:49 am
for this time of year. sunday we see cold air diving across the northern plains, monday across the southern plains, there is your tuesday high temperatures, getting to 23, the high in chicago wednesday barely above freezing in new york city. get ready, it is coming. neil: it is supposed to be a bad winter according to farmer's almanac. what is the deal with that? >> i put 0 stock in farmer's almanac. as far as the weather goes. some indications we could have a cold winter across parts of the northeast and mid-atlantic but i am not good at making those kinds of predictions and i don't think we can go that far out. i would not put much trust in that. neil: thank you, my friends, as always. forget shouting death to america. is iran one step closer to acting on it? [chanting]
7:50 am
7:51 am
7:52 am
7:53 am
neil: mike pompeo says iran may be on the brink of the nuclear breakout after reports surfaced that iran violated the nuclear deal by pumping uranium gas into centrifuges at an underground society. iran said that is not the case. he's calling on the international community to help people check. is that going to work. what do you do to put the iranians on the spot here. >> the president has ratcheted up the economic pressure, taking a plane out of what ronald reagan did against the soviets which is simply putting the economic pressure through star wars and technology and the like and hopefully that
7:54 am
will cause the collapse of the regime or backing down on this but we have seen since may attacks on oil infrastructure, terrorist attacks, we have seen they knocked on one of our drones, gone after our cyberactivities. it is a real tit for tat environment in which iranian's don't appear they are willing to back down and now they are willing to take risks at home in order to fuel their allies abroad especially lebanon, iraq and syria. neil: they claim they are doing this stuff on the nuclear route because we had this mutual sort
7:55 am
of watch each other but now they are saying they are free to do whatever they want. how do we counter that? do we even bother? >> once again the policy everybody agrees with on this side of the atlantic, we don't want them to have nuclear weapons and want them to stop terrorism. the question is what is the strategy? how do we stop them doing it? the president thinks economic pressure and in turn is going to work. it worked against the soviets previously. will work against iran? it hasn't worked in north korea all that will but we've been able to talk. talk doesn't seem to be something the grand ayatollah wants to do with iran. he just wants to strike out and have his own way. if we concede domestic turbulence in iran perhaps we begin to bend but i don't see anything short of that. he will continue to strike out against the rest of the world
7:56 am
especially in his own region and as mike pompeo said this is nuclear extortion the iranian's are using. they are increasing their ability to have enriched uranium and the israelis put everybody on alert and believe they may be in the crosshairs and that is the next target to persuade us to break down. neil: if they have gone back to 1980, how would we react to that? >> we wouldn't say anything like they would. that is what happened against the iraqis and the syrians. the chinese and russians go to their defense and iran, the israelis, the saudi's will cooperate and collaborate with the israelis, their adversaries
7:57 am
with the ukrainians, very complex arena. neil: thanks, in the meantime, worried about next week's hearings? don't think so. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. so on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say "thank you, real people." you're welcome. ... - [narrator] do you have less energy than you used to?

>> all right, well, you would think with the developments and impeachment inquiry, and in fact, public testimony this week and the wagons could be circling the president and you'd think that be freaking out and the markets would be freaking out, but they're the highest they've ever been. the markets have a funny way of showing it. why is that? lauren simonetti. >> it's unbelievable. wall street is unravelling on the safe investments like bonds and pouring into riskier investments like stocks. check out the screen. the dow adding 1.2% on the week
8:01 am
and ended in record territory. 393 for s&p 500, and the nasdaq closing at a record. gaining 1% on the week. gaining up six weeks in a row. investors are cheering an accommodative fed, a solid october jobs report, stronger than expected corporate profits and a government that's cutting regulations and has lowered taxes. okay. there's a china wild card, can't forget that and president trump did take some steam out of the rally yesterday when he said he wasn't willing to fully roll back tariffs in a broader trade deal. but talks between washington and beijing do continue, and even both sides to do so. that's filtering into other parts of the market. the russell has rallied and 1.93% for the 10-year yield. biggest in a month and gold

seeing its worst weekly loss in more than two years. keep in mind, that feel good signals can abruptly hit the breaks. impeachment hearings begin on wednesday as we enter a new push for the democrats to remove the president from office. with wall street watching, we'll see if they change their minds. neil: thanks as always, my friend. investors are not worrying so maybe shouldn't be worrying is this that depends. with us, charles payne, david bernstein, and what do you think of the collective shrug certainly from the markets, is it justified? >> i think they view this as a lot of noise. they know that there's a difference between him being impeached than from him being removed from office, which is unlikely to happen. i think what they're paying attention to is trade. republicans pushing forward, hopefully getting nancy pelosi to take up the new nafta, the
8:03 am
new usmca. i don't think it goes anywhere, unless there's a smoking gun, i think people realize that the president is here to stay. neil: looking through history, it helped bill clinton that the back drop was a strong economy and strong market. for richard nixon, the other way, and forced to resign given the enormity of his crimes, but didn't help that we had stagnation and oil prices. >> yesterday the university of michigan came out with sentiment numbers, i'd love the support to go into it. it never matters if they meet for beat consensus. and clinton had a strong economy behind him. and nixon impeachment, with the oil embargo of 1973. intriguing, nixon the polls went against him because many believed that nixon was too distracted by the impeachment
8:04 am
process to deal with economic issues. maybe if he hadn't been so singly focused on that it could have ironically helped him in the polls. neil: that's interesting. what do you think? >> as i said before, i think we're in the united states of america, i think you're innocent until you're proven guilty. i don't think the street cares. we're at all-time record highs. low interest rates, and the consumer has an enormous amount of confidence with lower interest rates, they can buy housing and cars and i think we're in a great market. neil: shouldn't the president, to your point then, focus on all of that, and not seemingly get distracted to charles' point as richard nixon might have in the eyes of the public, in the announcement of the impeachment process? >> i don't think he's distracted, he's deflecting. neil: he talks about it all the time. >> it's on the forefront-- >> maybe he should ignore. >> that's his personality, he can't help himself. the markets are doing great and will continue to do great. the lowest unemployment rate in the history of the country. people are working and making
8:05 am
money, when people are making money and there's consumer confidence, interest rates are low, they're going to spend. when they spend, we will have a booming economy. neil: democrats are saying, we want to remind people we're in the process of impeachment into this guy and we'd love to run against the president who has been formally impeached in the house whether it goes anywhere in the senate or not. what do you think of that? >> look, i think it's problematic, and there are a lot of polls that come out in the battle ground states, national polling is irrelevant. neil: losing steam. >> exactly. i think that democrats have to be careful about that, but also at this point there's no kind of going back to-- turning back on this. so, i think, i always think it's better for people to march forward with conviction than to equivocate. we're doing this or not doing this. they have no choice-- >> they're equivocated up the ying-yang. >> and in other words, you
8:06 am
can't vote for impeachment and go back home and try and say you didn't really vote for impeachment. neil: he could shelf it. nancy pelosi could shelf it early, but i guess it would boomerang and she has to follow through. >> at this point you have to follow through. i think with wall street they're more concerned about elizabeth warren's rise in the polls and release of her medicare for all plans than they are about impeachment at all. neil: i think you're right about that. and they think, charles, that she doesn't have a chance if she were the nominee? >> yeah, they do. in the same sentiment only 2% of respondents said they were concerned about impeachment vis-a-vis their own economy. this last week, individual investor optimism or bullishness went from 33% to 40% and that's to the point here, success begets success and enthusiasm begets enthusiasm. ironically, this is a good cover for the democrats to eloquently end this thing. neil: you're well connected
8:07 am
with the president and circles, do they worry that there could be sort of like, a smoking gun. when it's smoking, too late to worry about it, but something could happen to disrupt this? remember, this impeachment probe started on mueller, mueller, mueller and now ukraine that the president flung back in their face. a worry something else he's doing or could be doing or could have done that could also blow up what is a pretty good environment for him to seek reelection? >> i don't think he's worried at all. i really don't. clearly he talks about it all the time. he's deflecting it. he has to address it. it's on every news channel, in his face every single day, but i don't think he's worried about it. he's full seem ahead to the election and i think he's going to win it, landslide. i don't know who is going to stop him. i think the biggest threat to wall street is elizabeth warren. neil: if she were not the nominee and i'm not saying it wouldn't be obviously michael bloomberg, but more moderate,
8:08 am
on paper, that person stands a better chance of beating the president? >> i think that bloomberg has a much better chance than elizabeth warren. to tax the wealthy u'undermining the entire constitution and entire financial system that alexander hamilton set up. we're in a capitalist society. my grandfather came from italy for a better life and start a business and build wealth for his family. by doing that he created jobs and put money into the economy. why do we want to stop that? maybe our grandfathers met. >> could be. >> one of the things, another wrinkle. to focus on the rich, the gab between the average worker and wider than it's ever been. that's something that the republicans ignore at their peril. >> they don't touch it and often doesn't talk about it.
8:09 am
one of the things to discuss, there aren't enough billionaires in the world to pay for what elizabeth warren is putting out there. so when it comes to wealth and creating wealth, is that inherently bad, inherently evil? the messaging that republicans need to discuss is the fact that when somebody makes money, when a corporation makes money, they employ people and people who work for a company that they like, that they're treated well, that they stay there. that's a message that needs to get out there and i think that bill gates coming out and taking elizabeth warren on and a statement here is how much i par in taxes, do i have to pay this much. >> she makes it seem like a minuscule amount, a couple of pennies and add it up, 7, 8, 10 million more. >> and more in the calculated, bill gates would have to pay 4 had to 6 billion more in taxes. and i think the question is, for democrats, versus republicans on this, democrats have shown they're willing to show they're on the side some
8:10 am
should pay more, in the general election, but works in the primary. it's not that dissimilar what warren is saying about the rich as to what trump was saying about the elites when he ran. he was criticizing all of these people, goldman sachs, and the same people that elizabeth warren has been criticizing except he wasn't proposing a tax on those people. and i think that's really what it comes down to at the end of the day and it will be an easy target on warren which is why i think she'll have double as a democratic nominee. neil: we shall see. and quid pro quo, we've heard a lot about that, latin, this for that. and fine-- hungarian. can you tell me that story again? behind every question is a story waiting to be discovered. this holiday, start the journey with a dna kit from ancestry.

but you don't feel good. with polycythemia vera, pv, symptoms can change so slowly over time you might not notice. but new or changing symptoms can mean your pv is changing. let's change the way we see pv. you track and discuss blood counts with your doctor. but it's just as vital to discuss changing symptoms as well. take notice and take action. discuss counts and symptoms with your doctor. visit takeactionpv.com >> your view is that push comes to shove, documents, testimony, transcripts reveal that it did get to that level where the president did actually hold this up. that to you is not impeachable. >> right, not impeachable, not impeachable. >> all you have to do is read the transcript released to the
8:14 am
american people to decide yourself. there wasn't anything in the transcript that was impeachable. >> i don't see what's transpired to this point, antics of impeachment that it's going to rise to an impeachable expect. neil: and i've been talking with republicans about the quid pro quo, whether he'll get the information he sought on joe biden and son hunter biden, whether that would be impeachable offense. no, it would not, the pivot on quid pro quo and to the next level, even if there was, no big deal. and to the prosecutor katie. what do you think, settle this for me if you can legally. is that an impeachable offense? >> sure, well, the offense is impeachable only if it's criminal. the question is not whether there's a quid pro quo, but whether there was an unlawful quid pro quo. the president is perfectly
8:15 am
within his rights potentially to hold finance as a leverage for state purpose, but the question why was he holding the eyed if that's what it happened if it was for the purpose of targeting a political rival or broadly routing out corruption, which is arguably a legitimate state interest and that's what it boils down to, how can they prove his intent, if they can. neil: and they can't, right? so even if you have a connection aid was withheld because they were slow on responding to his request, he could say that this had everything to do with slapping down on corruption in a country that had bipartisan support in the past, even with barack obama in making sure that aid was withheld until corruption was addressed and not necessarily having to do anything with joe biden and his sop hunter, but there's a history there of america being
8:16 am
leary of that. >> and there's that ap that's what prosecutors have difficulty all the time. it can be proved circumstan circumstancely, but that there was a purpose. if a quid pro quo did exist, they have to concede there's a connection there, what was the intent of it. neil: nikki haley is the latest republican to address this issue. i want you to listen to this and her take on what's impeachable and what's not. >> i don't know what you would impeach him on. look, norah, impeachment is like the death penalty for a public official. neil: all right. now this would be the first one, if it comes to that, you know, who would be dealing with this as he's trying to run for reelection. it doesn't necessarily men it's a death knell for him, but it would be an issue for him.
8:17 am
what do you think? >> it would be an issue. i don't know if this is the best strategy that the democrats could take. i think they could use this for election purposes, more probably persuasively, but it's kind of a tough battle either way. neil: so, you know what, it's interesting and sometimes impeachments are a lot more black and white than anyone gives it credit for, in bill clinton's case it was about lying and affair with an intern that was ultimately bad, but not bad enough to heave him out of office. with richard nixon, obviously, it was much more involved and much more sordid and much more impeachable. this is much more open to interpretation at the out set. where do you see this going? >> well, i see that they have a lot of problems. like you mentioned with nixon, this is a completely different scenario. what happened with nixon was clear-cut a problem. it was a violation, it was criminal, if they could connect it to nixon and here, you don't
8:18 am
even have that first step satisfied. they have to get over the hump, is this even criminal because you have to get there really to get to impeachment. so, i think they're going to run in a lot of problems with that element of proving any sort of crime under the federal statute. neil: and don't things have to-- i know with the richard nixon impeachment started out with 7 out of 10 americans think it was a waste of time, no "there" there, and process of taping system, and cancer on the presidency, the famous john dean speech and you know, the growing concern that the president was obstructing justice and paying off people to keep them silent. so things began through the hearing process, maybe stuff like that comes forward during this one, but it seems doubtful. what are your thoughts? >> yeah, exactly. if they can find somebody to say directly that president trump stated that the sole purpose for withholding this aid was to target his political rival for the 2020 elections, then that will get them over
8:19 am
that hump of proving that element, but they haven't put forth that evident at this point. neil: when i look at the list of eight individuals that republicans want to testify before their committee, hunter biden and ukraine whistleblower and fusion gps, tim morrison, the former nsc higher up, david he'll rarpging, and do any of them stand a chance of hell of speaking before that committee? >> it's not just what they say, but also their credibility. so i think there's going to be a big question, even if you get somebody who says something to get it closer this is what the intent, what is their bias, what is their motive, what is their credibility. so, it's all going to boil down to those interpretations. neil: katie, we'll watch it closely. thank you very much. >> thanks, neil. neil: in the meantime, fox is learning indeed the former new

>> all right. well, he's not just considering, he's all, but running. fox is learning that former new york city mayor, michael bloomberg, intends to file paper work before tuesday's deadline. much as he rushed the paper work to alabama before that state's deadline and news week is separately reporting the former attorney general of the obama administration, eric holder may be dipping into this water as well. here to discuss all of this is my good friend ed henry whose
8:24 am
brand new shows debuts right after this noon eastern time. you look terrific. >> i feel great. and my sister, colleen, you asked me, i donated part of my liver other the summer, amazing. i do fox and friends on saturday and sunday, you've taken the baton and run with it, or a trot. neil: a slow trot. the doctors are okay with you pushing your body? >> my surgeon told me you're going to-- i didn't tell fox about it because suzanne says take it easy. i wanted to get back into it. 12 noon eastern, saturday and sunday, let's call in and cover the news, fair and balanced, remembered that? let's go straight at it. you're talking about a friend, and bloomberg said in private, i want to run, but i don't
8:25 am
think i can win with biden in there. and he wasn't in yet. i'm going to give biden the first crack. bloomberg, if he gets-- if he gets it, i'm going to give biden the first crack. and this late in the game. i'm going to put a toe in the water, tells me he doesn't think that biden will get the nomination. he deferred to biden, and he doesn't think that biden is strong enough, and money is running out and you hear buzz for bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, the liberal wing is getting the energy enthusiasm and money and that's alarming him. neil: and filing and the rich guy-- >> plays into elizabeth warren, okay, another billionaire wants to go in and take the nomination not away from me, but away from you, the people. you're right it plays into her,
8:26 am
it's a rigged system. people versus the powerful. by the way, where did we hear that? donald trump did that in 2016 and won. and elizabeth warren is trying to co-op some of that. the problem for elizabeth warren, the populous, a, she's a senator, not that outside, b, 52 trillion for medicare for all and she won't say whether did. neil: there aren't enough billionaires. >> you're going to go after the middle class at some point. that's a problem. neil: he obviously would have to get invited to one of the debates or meet the criteria to do that, it's possible he could. >> i've heard in the early stages depending how it is to your question that michael bloomberg would not get into the debates because the specific rules are about raising specific amounts of money. if he self funds, the plan is supposed to be, he would not be in the debates. neil: which is why he's scaping new hampshire, and iowa. the last guy that tried that i think was rudy guiliani. >> tried to take florida the fire wall and didn't do as well
8:27 am
and guiliani had to get out back then, i think '08, '07. so bottom line is, maybe bloomberg tries a hybrid where he raises a specific amount of money for the debates and then self-funds. maybe he doesn't need the debates, he's got name i.d., money to run the ads and he was the mayor of new york city, some say and by the way, he helped democrats in virginia this past week alone. a gun control initiative he's been funding. he's got money and coin he's putting muscle into. whether a new york mayor who has been a republican, an independent, and a democrat, is going to fire up anybody on the left and actually win the democratic nomination, and sweep super tuesday, look, we can't-- >> anything can happen. >> anything can happen with president trump winning in 2016. last night was the three-year anniversary of him winning, three-year anniversary. feels like it's several years. neil: and when he ran,
8:28 am
bloomberg for mayor, even in new york not everybody knew him, but he had the wherewithal to hire the best and brightest and ads were off the charts slick and great and went from unknown to victorious, not once, twice. >> a man of-- >> and worried about the potential bloomberg-- >> i talked to one of the top advisors who said they were happy he came up with the little, little marco and the rest and they think it will be hard nor bloomberg to break out. new york insider. the president is from new york and florida, i guess, different kind of, he ran a totally different campaign whereas bloomberg, the idea that wall street hedge fund managers are concerned about elizabeth warren. bloomberg gets in, to elizabeth warren, they're trying to take this from you, the energy,
8:29 am
money, big crowds are with warren and sanders. joe biden for all the hunter biden issues, the money problems that we've talked about, in a lot of polls, including a fox poll, biden has long strong. you can argue whether he's still the front runner, he's near the top, he's not out of this. neil: and wishing you well this morning, and i imagine he doesn't want you to succeed? >> no, yeah, he wanted the 12 noon hour. we had a big battle over it, and i took it away. neil: you beat him. >> don't tell anyone-- no, pete and i love to battle on the air and great friends off. we see this as an extension of things, double down on news, politics, headed into the election and we're ready to go, 12 noon eastern. neil: great human beings, best of luck my friend. ed henry, as good as they come. in the meantime, president trump is riding for warriors ahead of veterans day. this is a huge project and he's leading it after this. orlando isn't just the theme park capital of the world,

8:33 am
>> well, president george w. bush is hosting his warrior 100k bike ride in crawford, texas. contributor dr. mark segal is there.
8:34 am
how is it looking there? >> it's a beautiful day today here, neil. it was cold and rainy yesterday, but today, the trails are dry, the skies are blue. the vets are back on the bike and 16 warriors are honoring today to returning from the war theater and trying to transition back to society. yesterday, i spoke to president trump about with unparticular navy hero who enlisted in the navy at age 18. famously shot down and went on to be one of our greatest leaders. listen to what he said. >> i was a fortunate son to have had had i am-- him as a dad. he had a soft landing after 94 years and obviously, many fond memories of dear old george h.w. bush, who is a role model and most of all gave me unconditional love. >> we feel you bring a lot of love to the war fighters, to the vets. >> i hope so, i mean, i admire them. these are people who volunteered in the face of danger and they don't complain,
8:35 am
they just, you know, make sure i get what i need to do my but that's about it and so like patty. typical of somebody who gets hurt and says put me back in. >> that's colonel patty collins, neil. patty had an amputation and literally went back to the war after that and went back to fighting again and we're honoring her here today. and i want to introduce the consumer ahead of the military services at the bush institute and in charge of this bike ride. a colonel who served in both afghanistan and iraq. he's a marine, he's decorated marine, welcome. talk to me about transition matt, how do our warriors retool and become civilian leaders. >> thanks for being here, an amazing concluding day to our warrior 100. you saw that as the riding crew, how do they get back to the
8:36 am
leadership, the power of the sport and we saw that in the saddle today and as president bush said any day you get to ride with a vet is a good day. we have the continued support of leadership and our 9/11 warriors and their families. and the president talked about peer-to-peer counseling among the vets. this is team 43. and talk about how american learns from that. >> right now after eight years of doing this and our golf tournament we have over 183 team 43 families in our alumni network and it really is a family. they support one another, they empower one another to seek the care they need and what this does is overcome some of the barriers that the individuals have for the care for they need the physical and wounds of war. >> a retooling program. how do you teach our leaders to retool in leadership.
8:37 am
>> our programs for veterans and non-vetera non-veterans. we believe that vets and families are uniquely positioned to provide that. >> thank you. neil, i've got to confess that president bush wanted me to a try an e-bike, he wanted older people to go on the e-bike and go up and down the trails. it's not easy on a muddy trail, what mattered everybody riding in formation, if people fell, they got helped back up. it's a true team spirit, neil. neil: good tore-- good for him and good for you. thanks to the doctor for incredible service to the country. we'll keep everybody posted and his dad george herbert walker bush, he was president when the wall came down 30 years ago.
8:38 am
from berlin, amy kellogg is there. i can't believe it's been 30 years, i guess i'm revealing my age. man, oh, man, it seems like yesterday. >> i know, neil and actually the berlin wall has now been down longer than it was ever up. if you can believe that. the 30 years is a special anniversary. and chancellor angela merkel and president bush pointed out that democracy cannot sit on their laurels. there's plenty of dictatorships and repression around the world that need to be stood up to. the fall of the berlin wall was a joyous occasion. it was spontaneous by an east german official on a new travel regime that would eventually allow easterners to go over, and they flocked to the wall and in a couple of days it was over. it's been a trying experience.
8:39 am
the west has to absorb millions from the east and they also, those people saw their history basically wiped out and delegitimized overnight. we got a peek inside the archives. the secret police tried to detroy all the files at the end, but they were eventually blocked by east germans, they managed to destroy 17,000 bags worth of files and the germans are still painstakingly piecing them back together because the archives say this is crucial for the easterners who see how their lives were mettled with. as a spokesperson from the archives pointed out the secret police often upset people's lives in invisible ways and used such methods often to destroy human beings. >> if you arrest people and physically harm them, there's something to show in the way the state crushes people. if you do a psychologically, there's nothing to show more and harder to prove. so that's why looking at the records today, so many of the
8:40 am
dissidents, it helps them really find out how the state interfered in their lives. >> so, neil, it's sort of a fraught history, too, in germany because november 9th is also the anniversary of the anti-jewish precursor to the holocaust. and that does tie in with what chancellor merkel and others, including president trump said today, about an ongoing struggle to be vigilant been atrocities, and depravity and dictatorship from now on and forever. neil: look what's happening in hong kong today all of these decades later. amy, thank you very, very much, great reporting as usual. three more hours of school each day. 2020 democrat kamala harris is pushing it. i'm pretty sure that kids are hating it. what about you? what about taxpayers? ♪ ♪ we don't need no education ♪ ,

>> all right. longer school hours for kids to help their moms and dads. that's essentially what the 2020 presidential candidate kamala harris is proposing. she wants school days it go until 6 p.m. and said it matches parents' workday and help them out. i don't know necessarily about the kids. and back, lauren, what do you think of this as a mom as well? >> one of the most difficult decisions as a mom, what do we do with the kids after school and put them in a whole bunch of activities and the like. on one hand i understand what kamala harris is doing, she wants to start this in low income areas, that would be great for mothers in the area. they could re-enter the work force perhaps, for a lot of families we have to pay for the extra care, does it make sense for one, for the mother or father of one parent to work. it could be an opportunity, but i'm not sure that the school is the answer to this conundrum of what do you do with your kids
8:45 am
after school if mom and dad work longer hours. >> here is the thing with this, too, to your point, i think you made a little earlier, where is the funding going to come from. neil: right. >> it says it's going to cost $5 million and overall, the program to sustain it $1.5 billion. we all know what happens when legislation is trying to get funded. especially in california, it gets passed through and may or may not stick. most the time it dies on the vine and what happens to the kids. neil: and what are they doing, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.? >> well, what it is, it's basically an extended day program. so it has, it's not necessarily academic, but it's, you know, different activities, arts, sports and-- >> she said culture. >> exactly. >> athletics, help with homework, all different things. neil: and they have very long school days and they're popping out school geniuses. >> there you go. theser er --

these are enrichment, it's not academically rigorous. for teachers, this implementation of this program, kamala harris is talking out of both sides of her mouth. she's-- >> i thought you were going to say something else. a family show. sure. >> she's not making much sense here. so, she is saying that she wants the teachers to get paid more, but ostensibly, the teachers a part of this program is getting paid the same amount for staying later during the day. which right now with schools that have similar programs to this, it's new people that come in and they get paid a little more. >> and most teachers are parents and want to get home to their kids and a lot of people decide to be teachers so they can work with the school day and be with their kids after school. we all know the state of our school systems in the country, vis-a-vis china and other countries, in the sense i'd rather see 5 million poured into the regular day curriculum to
8:47 am
turn out brighter students. and i think that kamala harris' heart is in the right place, but i'm not sure it's going to work. a pilot program. >> like in new york, allowed to keep the doors open later for kids, to get to supper. >> exactly. neil: she wants to do this on a large scale. >> she's starting out smaller for lower income communities, but the idea is to branch out, but as we know, as we've seen with any sort of legislation, it stops -- there's always head wind when it comes this kind of stuff. you can implement it, but what happens 10 years from now, less than that, three years. kids in a program like this, funding bottoms out, then they're left high and dry. >> overly structured and guilty of doing it. try to say, you know, we don't have a plan today, let's just play, but we're constantly-- you probably do the same, cart your kids from one thing to another thing and if they're from a structured program from the minute they open their eyes
8:48 am
to 6 p.m. >> my kids are one and we have a crazy structure and it's ridiculous so i hear you. neil: they need a little structure. i don't know when it goes too far. we'll see. and the u.s.-mexico border how safe is it when americans are killed just south of it. stay with us. the magic moment. congress really democratized wall street... i wanted to have a firm that wanted to get everybody in. because people couldn't access wall street. we wanted to be agents of change. for the better. ♪

8:52 am
so horrific, involves three moms, six kids and now reports that they might have in fact been targets, this wasn't accidental. what have you learned? >> well, we're getting-- first of all, hello, neil, thanks for having me. we're hearing little from the mexican authorities on this. very calm. and let me just go back on monday when this happened, several hours before this, we had the cartel with eight vehicle caravans come into a community south of my county in mexico and shot it up for about 45 minutes. two people were killed, possibly three. hours later they shot the nine americans to include the six kids, shot five more kids that game across my border, critical critically. since then several more, blocks south of the border and this is continuing, and this is the cartel, again, they're violent,
8:53 am
ruthless and they're core evil. neil: when you think about it sheriff and you touched on the fact that, you know, if this were not accidental and it was a deliberate target, then that group, part of this larger group that had been targeted in the past, in fact, a couple of killings a few years ago from the same larger group that had tak taken up residence in the area, what does it say about safety in mexico, crime rising in mexico city and elsewhere? >> well, it's-- this is a concern. we have an international community down here in my county, in arizona along with our communities in mexico. a lot of shared economic shared families and for the cartels, and it's no secret, neil, that the cartels control the southern border into mexico and how deep in mexico do they go? i think it's quite high. it's alarming to the good

citizens in mexico, to our wore border and this is terrorism, we need to address it. neil: bernie sanders released an immigration plan this week, sheriff, you might be aware and some of the basic details, but they involve halting deportations and demolishing ice outright and welcoming immigrants who have to move because of climate changes. and what do you think of the broader headlines on his plan. >> let's put this into perspective. if you say get rid of the sheriff's and law enforcement. what they've done on the first nine months, fiscal year 2019, 750,000 pounds of illicit drugs,
8:55 am
fentanyl, met hamphetaminmetham cocaine. 141 countries tried to get in our country in the first nine months of the year. if we don't have a border, we'll become a different country. we need to stand united. the plan that senator sanders is putting forward is a disaster for this country. neil: in light of the crime situation and everything else in mexico, that could actually increase the wave of mexicans, generally trying to get out of harm's way. how do we handle that as a country? >> well, we have processes, neil. we have legal processes, and good people that want to come to our country and go through the legal process, i 100% support, but to just open the gates and everybody come on in, that would change every city in the country. and the national sheriff association, national police chief association and our federal partners we stand against any open border plan. neil: any of the ideas pushed a lot about people like bernie sanders, you would be against at least at face value?
8:56 am
>> 100%. we just-- because you don't like the politics in this country, it's because you don't like the president of the united states, you can't attack our executive branch and say let's get rid of the thousands of law enforcement officers from the federal government, just get rid of them. all that does is erode the quality of life in this country. neil: all right. we'll watch it very, very closely. sheriff, thank you for taking the time. you have your hands full. and mark daniels in cochise county, on the front line trying to deal. easy for politicians to talk and he has to deliver the goods day in and day out. thanks for all you do. >> thank you, neil. neil: and the list of republica republicans-- witnesses that republicans want queried. so far no response.
