that is noteworthy as well as who he works for. chad herbrun is outside the room where they're talking to mr. sandy right now. >> reporter: he's been going for about four hours. it's significant that they have him here. they've been trying to get other omb officials in the door to understand why the aid was held up and eventually released. they tried to get the acting director in. they tried to get the actual director, mick mulvaney in, he's the acting white house chief of staff. mark sandy is the first one who has come in to talk. we're told in the next half hour or so, he might depart. four hours so far, hearing from mark sandy. last they had another deposition, hearing from david holmes, a di pr blow matt who da diplomat who was at the u.s. embassy in ukraine. he indicated he overheard a telephone call between gordon sondland and president trump

talking about, quote, investigations. that is key. they'll have gordon sondland in next week. i talked to debbie wasserman schultz last night. she was in the deposition. she wouldn't tell us what was said but it was, quote, disturbing and significant. republicans continue to say that democrats are not laying a glove on president trump. here's republican ohio congressman jim jordan. >> they can keep having secret depositions down here in the basement of the capitol but i think the american people see through this whole thing. >> what do you think of yesterday's deposition and testimony there about the phone call? >> some guy overheard a phone call. we'll have him in an open hearing. we'll get a chance to he question him there. >> reporter: the yovanovitch hearing from yesterday continues to resonate on capitol hill, especially president trump's tweet where he lambasted the former ambassador to ukraine during the hearing with a tweet. house speaker nancy pelosi spoke to future diplomats today at georgetown university and

referenced yo yovanovitch and or diplomats who testified before congress this week. >> all of you who are engaged in public service and all of you engaged in -- will engage in foreign service or you're interested in diplomacy and the rest must be very proud of your representatives who testified before congress this week. [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: democrats are trying the to curate this narrative to say there was a connection here between the holdup of aid and also how they were trying to attack marie yovanovitch. they haven't gotten to the point where they tried to write articles of impeachment. you can see them drafting an article potentially based on efforts to intimidate, yovanovitch, maybe an abuse of power and with the witnesses and documents they've requested, the administration not cooperating very much, that could be obstruction of congress. leland. leland: we wait to see about john bolton, among others, if they will testify. chad, thanks so much. check back in with you.

gillian. gillian: as the house is preparing for more public testimony next week, up to eight new depositions, president trump continues to slam the impeachment inquiry. allison barber is live at the white house. allison, how is the administration reacting today so far. >> reporter: the white house, they say that this is all a waste of time. they consider the impeachment inquiry to be an illegitimate charade, wasting taxpayer time and their money. in a statement the white house press secretary said friday's hearing was as useless and incons question aninconsequenti, ambassador yovanovitch said she was unaware of any criminal activity involving president trump. she had no knowledge about the pause on aid to ukraine. it's difficult to imagine a greater waste of time. a big moment in yesterday's hearing did come when president trump attacked the former ambassador to glaxosmithkline aa tweet. it was called witness intimidation in real-time. president trump criticized the

inquiry and told reporters he doesn't think his tweets or words can be intimidating at all. >> i'll tell you about what tampering is. tampering is when a guy like shifty schiff doesn't lote us have lawyers, doesn't let us have witnesses, doesn't let us speak. congressman nunes read a call i had with the president of ukraine and it was a great call. it was a very nice call. everybody said it was perfect. i always say. it was equally as good as the other call. and i put it out today and nobody even wants to report it. because it was so good, they don't want to report it. look, if we had an honest press in this country, we would be so well served. >> reporter: the transcript president trump is referring to is from april, the call is the center of the impeachment inquiry took place in late july. president trump has suggested his interest in having ukraine look at the bidens was tied to

bigger issues of corruption. he tweeted that as the president of the united states he has a right to investigate or have others investigate corruption. talk of corruption was noticeably absent from that april phone call, even though a white house read-out released at the time said it was discussed. the white house is now saying a witness we expect to hear from next week, lieutenant colonel venman, they say he was the person in charge of writing that read-out. gillian. gillian: well, the president has tweeted at me before. it can be intimidating. thanks, allison. leland: last hour we had congressman winstrop of ohio. the republican. so this hour we bring in the democratic congresswoman from michigan, debbie dingell. nice to talk to you. you have been one of the members of your caucus to reserve judgment. i'm interested, after the past week of open testimony, has your mind changed? >> well, deeply disturbed i

i think the thing that bothered me the most was when the president tweeted or used his twitter account to attack a witness while she was testifying yesterday, which was l ambassador yovanovitch. i think congresswoman and liz cheney and other republican women members who said it was inappropriate and it was inappropriate. leland: marsha blackburn also said that. is that really impeachable? >> it was concerning. i think these hearings are very important. i think these open transparent hearings are very important. i think the american people need to understand what the issues are. leland: right. but typically, though, impeachment is to impeach someone for a crime, whether it was the watergate break-in, whether it was bill clinton's lies. has this gotten too confusing for the american people, something that was sort of a very simple idea, both with nixon and with clinton. it seems so much more complex

now. >> i still think that -- what got me to where i am, saying we need to have an open and transparent process, was the fact that president trump appointed inspector general said that there was a credible threat to our national security. we are learning that we held up monies that had been appropriated by congress very clearly to ukraine, that should have been with some kind of -- i'm careful of the use of -- leland: was it really held up? >> yes, it was held up. that has been documented. i'm going to be curious as to what -- i know what you know. i know what was said in the open testimony. we know someone from the budget office finally testified this morning. i also, if this is so innocent, if there aren't things to hide, why is the white house not letting people go to the hill and testify? leland: that that was a question we asked congressman

winstrop of ohio last hour. people can judge for themselves whether or not this answer was sufficient. this is what is being said about the president, about the issue you brought up, of the tweet by house speaker pelosi. take a listen. >> he made a mistake. he knows her strength and he was trying to undermine it. i think part of it is his own insecurity as an imposter. knows full well that he's in that office way over his head and so he has to diminish everyone else. leland: a majority of the people in your state voted for president trump, not by a big margin, but they did. is it helpful for you back home to have your leadership speaking this ways about the person they elected? >> i try to treat everybody with respect, no matter what they've done. i think it was very offensive what the president did yesterday and i'm very concerned at the number of people that i'm

talking to at the state department who -- leland: this is to your credit, the language you used today and have used in the past is very different than he's way over his head, it diminishes everyone else, he's an imposter. you don't use that language. is it helpful when others do. >> i don't use insulting language against anybody. i think in this country we've lost civility. leland: you said it gets people mad at you that you won't use insulting language. >> yes, it does. it's not who i am. the nuns taught me right and i'm proud of it. what somebody's wrong, i'm a buzz saw you do don't want to me mad. i will fight you tooth and nail. i'm really concerned about what's happening in this country. by the way, i could think russia is trying to divide us as a country. i think they're trying to contribute to that, that's what i'm worried about, what russia

is doing to this country. leland: i don't think you are worworried about what michigan s doing to michigan state, 24-7 right now at the big house. we'll let you get back to the game, ma'am. >> thank you. it isn't over until it's over. i've seen games like this go, so keep cheering but i'm cheering for michigan. go blue. leland: thank you, ma'am. good to see you. >> thank you. leland: tomorrow, fox news sunday, chris wallace has an interview with house kne minoriy whip steve scalise. check your local listing for time and channel. gillian: one of the two army soldiers granted clemency by president trump this week is now out of prison and reunited with his family. the president also restoring the rank of a convicted navy seal this week. lucas tomlinson has all the details on the big three this week. tell us everything you know. >> reporter: the army opened up a murder investigation against major matt goldstein after this interview in 2016.

>> did you find the suspected taliban bomb maker? >> we did capture a fighter and then id material, weapons, we recovered radios that the taliban were using so quite a bit of material. >> at the time, you think this was the guy? >> absolutely. >> did you kill the taliban bomb maker? >> yes. >> reporter: goldstein was charged with murdering the suspected bomb maker in afghanistan in 2010. another army officer, cline lawrence, was freed last night from prison after receiving a pardon from president trump. he had been serving six years of a 19 year stint for second degree murder in afghanistan after allegedly ordering his forces to open fire and killing two men on motorcycles. president trump also ordered navy seal eddie gallagher's rank restored to chief petty officer after being found not guilty of

murder. defense secretary mark esper met with president trump earlier this month. >> i had the chance to have a robust discussion with the president yesterday and i offered as i do in all matters the facts, the options, my advice, the recommendations and we'll see how things play out. >> reporter: in his first television interview, goldstein spoke on "fox & friends" earlier today. >> i think it sends a clear signal that the president of the united states is paying attention, that he's not going to be backed off by institutional elements of the dod that are going to try to retain their ability to do certain things and force outcomes and weaponize the military justice process and then hide behind process. >> reporter: some pentagon brass worry this controversial decision by the president could

erode order and discipline in the ranks. gillian: and maybe chain of command even. >> reporter: all issues that military will be looking at very carefully. gillian: thanks, lucas. leland: meantime, voters in louisiana are heading to the polls at this moment. it's election day. they're decide ho deciding who e their next governor. casey stigel live in baton rouge with a race the president has taken a lot of personal interest in s. >> reporter: a lot of momentum has been building up to today for this runoff election. prior to today, louisiana saw a near record number of early voters, in fact, about a half a million ballots were even cast before the polls opened today and it's likely to account for a third or more of the total overall vote here. it's also 100,000 more than the number of early voters during last month's primary which spun this whole runoff election in the first place. hard to tell which candidate

this is going to favor. the democratic incumbent governor john bel edwards has so far campaigned largely on his record, chris-crossing the state for the last several weeks, meeting with voters and drumming up additional support while his republican challenger, eddie rispone, has vowedded to get louisiana back to its conservative roots. the millionaire businessman has also used president trump's support to his advantage in this red state, noting the similarities between himself and the president. >> when the president comes down here with his pop layer at, it really helps me, the citizens to recognize that, yes, you had that opportunity to get someone just like me in that respect, a business person, conservative outsider, not beholden to special interests, to do for louisiana what he's done for the country. >> we turned the deficit into

three consecutive surpluses. [ cheering and applause ] >> today i can stand before you and say that over 450,000 have health insurance who didn't have it before i became governor. >> reporter: the polls in louisiana close at 8:00 tonight and judging from what we've seen going on at this polling location in baton rouge today, it could be a pretty big turnout across the state as it's been just a nonstop stream of people here, leland. so looks like by all accounts this could shape up to be a squeaker tonight. leland: a lot of people coming out to vote before the lsu, ole miss game. thank you, sir. gillian: the nfl handing out suspensions after an ugly on-air field brawl during the closing moments of a game earlier this week. brian kilmeade is coming up next to tackle that with us.

the move has raised doubts about the fate of a fragile cease fire that was announced thursday. trey yingst live in gaza, i think the only foreign correspondent still there. great work this week. how's the cease fire looking? >> reporter: thanks, leland. good to see you. the cease fire does appear to be unraveling as we speak. it's important to note that what we've seen so far is really a deterioration of the cease fire, just last night around 2:00 a.m. we saw two mid-range rockets fired from the gaza strip into southern israel. intelligence saying the rockets were likely ordered by hamas. both were intercepted by israel's missile defense system but the act has set tens of thousands running for bomb l shelters in israel. israel conducted a series of air strikes inside the gaza strip so the cease fire was broken. in gaza, civilians are calling

on factions to respond more strongly to israel, after israelis bombed a house wednesday night, killing eight people including five children. hamas says they're calling on the international criminal force to investigate for human rights violations. the united nations is supporting a need for an investigation. >> we are opposed to all killings o civilians. in this case, it's clearly a tragedy. the secretary general expresses condoncondolences and wishes foa speedy recovery for those injured. >> reporter: so far we have seen at least one failed rocket launch attempt from gaza tonight into southern israel. and moving forward, we do have the secretary of state, mike pompeo, commenting on the situation, saying all of this is being used by iran, saying that iran is using islamic jihad in gaza as a proxy, that's a claim that islamic jihad is telling fox news is false. leland: and then we think of

where islamic jihad gets most of their weapons. trey, we'll check back in with you. as we've watched trey through the week, what an incredible job he and his team have done and it is a real credit over there to the jerusalem bureau. i'm a little biased. i used to work there. but you think about ely f a asman and the team he's created, it's incredible work he's done. the fact that trey's been in gaza for the past week says a lot about the commitment to the story. gillian: fantastic job. for more on u.s. and israeli reaction to what's happening on the ground, we bring in former israeli air force pilot, he's also the co-founder of clarity capital and author of a great booked called god is in the crowd. tal kinan. thank you for being with us. we appreciate your time on a saturday. tell us about what transpired over the last week. looks like a seed change for the

israelis, distinguishing between hamas and islamic jihad. >> up until the last few hours, this has been an exchange between islamic jihad and israel. hamas has been a bystander. i think it's been convenient for hamas in a number of different ways. from the israeli public perspective, however, it's really just more of the same. we've had dozens of skirmishes like this over the years. in that sense, really nothing new. gillian: what do you make about messaging here? is it netanyahu going a little soft on hamas? what is it? >> well, so here again, i would say we often read a little bit too much into the politics of this sort of exchange. the way this one started is, again, not uncommon. the israeli defense force has a clear shot at somebody, who had

been and continues to be a key player in the terrorist infrastructure in gaza, responsible for a lot of these rocket launches. when you get a clear shot, all other things being equal, you take it and it will precipitate this sort of round of violence and that's where we are. i don't think this is a political maneuver. gillian: so sounds like you're saying clear-cut mission here, don't worry too much about the messaging or the optic? >> yeah, that's my sense. and the pickle here is, it's always the same, you have an israeli government that is -- whose citizens demand defense, just as any u.s. citizen would demand, if rockets are falling on your neighborhoods and your children are in shelters, people demand defense and on the other side, you have an enemy who has really embraced for a long time

the strategy of embedding itself in civilian populations and forcing you to choose between their civilians and yours. the messaging is clearly important and you have to walk between the raindrops here. i don't think there's any great solutions. you have to choose the least bad. but my sense is this week so far -- this is what success looks like. gillian: the government's been stalemates for around a year now. does this move the needle for people in either direction for israeli voters? >> my sense is no. i p mean, it looks like dead lock. there might be a little bit of movement earlier today toward a narrow coalition that might be formed with the center left blocked. we'll see how that goes. but i think most likely israel will see a third election. in terms of the day-to-day governing of the country, it's working. nothing's really falling apart. we don't have new legislation.

there are a lot of things on hold. budgets that need to be passed, that's all true. but israel's managing, still have strong economic growth and complicated region even if you don't have a hung government. so that's also being managed. i suspect we'll see a third l election. gillian: always great to hear your perspective, take your temperature on these things. we'll check back with you soon. thanks so much. thank you. gillian: leland. leland: lessons from the alamo. brian kilmeade tells us how those lessons apply today when we get back. >> courage is something that's different in every person. but most people are not courageous alone. you get courage from the people you're around. if the people around you show optimism, if they show steadfastness, it's contagious. you don't want to let your comed rads down. -- your comrades down.

leland: steelers quarterback mason rudolph reportedly will not file criminal charges against browns defensive end miles garrett after a fight on the field thursday night where he smacke was smacked in the heh a helmet. garrett has been suspended indefinitely after hitting rudolph with rudolph's own helmet during a game, a move that hitter says was a terrible mistake. with that we bring in "fox & friends" co-host and guest here, who we are honored to have, brian kilmeade. good to see you, sir. gillian: brian. >> how are you? gillian: good, how are you. >> good. leland: a terrible mistake, might be the last time you were on the show when i told you could wear jeans and we took a full length shot. that's a terrible mistake. is t hitting somebody in the head really a terrible mistake or assault. >> i think it's worse than wearing jeans oven you on your .

number one. it's one of the worst things you've seen in football. there's fights in sports and people bring up in baseball, we lead the news with them when there's fights in sports in basketball. with football, they're already playing a high level anyway. when you take the helmet off, there was an unspoken rule, you don't do that. number one. you certainly don't whack them with it, number two. it's so bad his own teammates and coach said it's horrendous. he's out for the rest of the year. it's five or six games. i don't think the browns are going anywhere anyway. he will probably sit out half of next season. i think it's a lesson learned. it is horrific. keep in mind too that this is a very physical sport. these people play at the highest level, the highest speeds. they're the strongest men in the world and they got quick tempers. they've got to be mean. don't be surprised if sometimes things get out of control. it's not going to happen often. that's why gillian demands we lead with this story to begin

with. gillian: brian, you look great. we want to know, what kind of pants are you wearing today? >> i'm wearing a suit. leland: wow. gillian: how do you know you're not lying. leland: we're not going to go there. >> i'm kind of tied in here. leland: he's wired up. i'm defending my buddy brian here. this brings up an interesting question, though. does roger godell who had some fairly frank thoughts brough abn the past, does he have control of the league after this or is this another example of him losing control. >> i don't think this reflects on the commissioner at all, leland. i think he settled things down over the past year and-a-half big-time. listen, remember george bush who becomes president, a lot of the stuff that fell on his lap why major stories and major impactful news, war, peace, iraq, everything like that. bill clinton was saying there's not a lot of outside things he

caused, not a lot of definable moments. roger goodell took over a league and a series of things he was forced to make decisions on, a lot of he them didn't turn out good. over the last year and-a-half, two years, i think he's gotten ahold of it. leland: something that fell on his lap was the national anthem protest and colin kaepernick. and now for the first time ever i think the league is organizing a workout in the middle of a season for someone that's been out for three years for every time to be invited to look at. that seems like taking a he proactive approach to something that to use your words l fell in his lap. >> you've got two dozen teams showing up. i think this could be a little bit legal in that you make this team come on a saturday. this is one of the busiest times for football teams. they're not going to send the best scouts and the best coaches to go play. hugh jackson, the former coach of the browns, the former coach of the raiders will organize it. kaepernick has been out of the

league three years they say he has some ability left. he was a great t lead. before he started -- athlete. before he started kneeling he was benched in san francisco. at 28 he was not starting. gail gilbert was starting, basically a journeyman quarterback who spent his life at a backup and he was better than kaepernick, according to the 49ers. do you need to call up the most successful franchises in all of sports and say have a good idea of a quarterback i want you to see? it is bizarre and you don't have to tell a team who is out there and who is not. they know. this is a business. if you have a backup quarter quk that can play and you go to the playoffs and you lose your starter, if you don't have a backup quarterback, you crater. if he can play, they would have found him. i think he deserves a shot. i wonder about the make-believe scenario, this made for scouts

situation and i wonder if it's trying avoid another collusion p trap. leland: i not heard anywhere close though that in terms of the timing and how this is being done. very thoughtful. >> gillian, do you back up leland on that? gillian: totally. leland: that's the first time she's ever backed me up. gillian: i always say on this show, every saturday, i say brian kilmeade is a genius and we need to hear from him more. >> it's in the prompter. leland: i second that. i'm going to try to make a transition here to your book because some of the lessons that you talk about here in terms of leadership are probably some of the lessons in leadership that play out in sam houston, alamo, the texas history that changed america. before we bring brian back we're going to play a sound bite from his upcoming special. take a listen. >> 18 minutes the name of your book, why 18 minutes? >> that's the amount of time for the texans to overwhelm and surprise the mexican army.

it went on for two hours but 18 minutes is the time it took to achieve total victory. >> the group that got annihilated at the alamo, got massacred, takes 18 minutes to defeat? >> they achieved the ultimate surprise, the most lopsided victory probably in american history. leland: what's the lesson in leadership between the book and the nfl? >> [ laughter ] >> i will say this. i will tell you, i think this is what you take away from tonight. i never new history would be under you attack like it is right now. we cover the stories in the news, whether the monuments going to come down or teachers decide they're not going to teach social studies in class. sam houston, i want to take one more push to tell people you're in an exceptional nation. in texas, it was its own country for nine years but these were americans fighting for freedom and liberty because the mexican governmentriedgovernment tried t

away. they were the state of mexico. these texans said you're not going to pick our leaders, you're not going to tell us what to do. we're going to fight for freedom and then you let sam houston who had to do the tough thing, he had to take his army and retreat. sometimes you can't fight every single battle. he wasn't ready. as he's retreating estrange, retreating, training, gathering troops. when the mexican army arrived and they're a formal army, he was able to shape that battle field and attack at a time they weren't expecting. he took a slight incline and high grass and bounces and he wiped the army out and he did it in the lead. leaders lead. back then, generals led. this guy got shot off two horses and took a bullet in the leg and still won the bad tell. we think houston rockets or astros. this is the story of texas. it's the story of all 50 states, not just one.

and texas has been kind enough to share it. tomorrow night at 10:00, it will be repeate repeated at 1:00, yoe sam houston and the texas fight for freedom and what they're doing to reclaim the footprint of the alamo, with george p bush will join us to talk about how san antonio has great pride and great respect for those who lost their lives at the alamo. gillian: brian, we loved having you. thanks for stopping by for us on a saturday. >> one more mention. tonight at 7:00 on fox nation, i'll be live, america great from the start. and we'll be on for an hour and-a-half. it will be streaming on your favorite app. it's going to be all a look back at history and some of the specials we've done on fox nation. gillian: you've got two viewers right here. we'll be watching. leland: thanks, buddy. hardest working guy on tv right there. gillian: you're looking now live at waverly, iowa, where

senator elizabeth warren is holding a town hall. she's not the only one out on the road today pounding the pavement. we'll tell you who else is on the trail, where they are, we've got reporters to break it all down for you. ♪ ♪

leland: welcome back on this saturday. french police clashing with yellow vest protesters in paris today. this is the one year anniversary of that movement. kitty logan is following it for us. hi, kitty. >> reporter: hi, leland. yes, it's pretty remarkable that these protests have gone on for as long as they have. but people are still angry about

the same issues, about social inequality and economic hardship in the country and today we saw protests all over france. they mostly were peaceful. in paris, there was some violence, some of it pretty intense at times with riot police using water cannons to push back protesters, also firing tear gas at demonstrators who tried to smash windows at a shopping mall. some protesters attacked a bank. we saw people responding to the police, throwing stones and bottles, setting fire to cars. now, the police in paris did say they would deal firmly with any trouble-makers and around 100 people were arrested. also, we saw protesters trying to block a major road around paris. police pushing them back. also stopping crowds entering protected areas in the city center. this protest movement first started a year ago because of increased fuel prices, high living costs. we saw up to 300,000 people

taking to the streets at one time. those protests often turning violent. the government in france has made concessions since then and the protesters -- the he protests have become smaller until today. many of these yellow vest protesters say those concessions are simply not enough. it is likely that this movement will continue in some form and will likely also see a national strike in france on december 5. leland: just during the christmas shopping season. kitty, thank you. coming up, we're going to introduce you to this guy right there. gillian: not you. leland: not me. the dog. you're going to want to hear about the honor he got and why he got it. we're back with that in a minute. wow! that's ensure max protein, with high protein and 1 gram sugar. it's a sit-up, banana! bend at the waist! i'm tryin'! keep it up. you'll get there. whoa-hoa-hoa! 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar.

leland: as we learned this week, not all military heroes are human. this week we saw a very special ceremony honoring a group of animals for their service. >> his medal for bravery, these awards now, their handlers say, are finally recognition that military working dogs are getting their due not only for their bravery, but for the hundreds if not thousands of dogs that have protected u.s. troops for decades. >> there was one mission in particular where we started taking enemy contact, and without getting into specifics, we relied very heavily on bass to keep the team safe by going

into buildings and being that first man in where we knew there was enemy at to make it safer for his team members coming after him. leland: this ceremony goes all the way back to the korean war honoring dogs, pigeons, horses among other animals. is the american public finally taking care of the mannings the way they should -- the animals the way they should be? >> short answer is, yes. there's so many nonprofits out in that help cover medical expenses for retired animals, and as one of the congressmen talked about today, a bill is going through the house trying to get passed where there's extra funding to take care of these animals medically. they go to loving homes, they get to get spoiled with a loving family. leland: you and bass are unique, you guys have spent your whole life together working together. what does it mean to be able to now take him home? >> i mean, he's -- for the last

five years he's been, you know, my brother in harm arms and my family member. leland: he risked his life for you. >> he very possibly could be the reason why myself or other people that he served with are still here today. and i was very fortunate to be paired up with a dog like bass, and i just cherish every moment with him. it's awesome. leland: all right. gillian: amazing. leland: yeah, really cool. gillian: that was a great package. leland: it was a lot of fun. what was amazing was this dog, whod had gone after terrorists and was clearly at times needed to be ferocious, and so long as his handler was calm, would lie on his back for tummy rubs, and alex said the dogs know who good guys are and the bad guys are instinctively. gillian: yep. that's why you can always trust their judgment. leland: what's the carrie underwood song, the more boys i meet, the more i like my dog.
