in our nation's capital with all the latest on the impeachment push whavment do we need to know? >> reporter: 3,000, we have more than 3,000 pages of transcribed interviews that have been released. the latest comes from tim morrison of the national security council and jennifer williams, an advisor to mike pence. unlike most of the witnesses so far, both williams and morrison were on president trump's july phone call with ukraine's leader. morrison told lawmakers he was concerned that the transcript of the call would be damaging if it was leaked. he testified about a conversation he had with the u.s. ambassador to the eu, gordon sondland, in which sondland said, quote, there was no quid pro quo but further stated that president zelensky should want to go to the microphone and announce personally that he would open the investigation. yesterday lawmakers also heard from mark sandy, an official at

the office of management and budget who they wanted to shed light on why the military aid to ukraine was held up. both sides walked away from that testimony with very different takes. >> it seems clear to me from everything that i've seen that the president had no interest in the defense of the ukraine. he had one thing in mind. he wanted to shake down president zelensky, he wanted zelensky to go out in public and say that he was conducting an investigation into joe biden. >> it was a great day for the republic, it was a bad day for democrats and the resistance. the assumptions that democrats have made and certainly the allegations that they have made have not been supported by the witness' testimony. >> reporter: next week will be an even busier one in the impeachment inquiry with eight witnesses scheduled to testify in public, along with hundreds more pages of transcripts from closed door testimony that still need to be released.

there's also the possibility that other witnesses could be scheduled to testify in public as well over the coupl next cou. >> jamie raskin, the democrat who said the president it's clear to him based on the transcripts that the president doesn't care about ukraine. time out here. he did more than president obama did in terms of providing lethal aid to ukraine. we can go through the details, how did we get there, how long was it held up, was that appropriate. but to make this big picture claim which is not true that this president did less for ukraine, say, than barack obama. it's fundamentally false. >> president obama never delivered lethal aid where president trump has delivered javelins. >> you're saying blankets are not lethal? >> not the way i've used them. president trump delivered on javelins, which actually does help the ukrainians protect themselves against the russians. this week you'll have people like tim morrison, kurt volcker,

who has supported what president trump has said there's no link between a quid pro quo which is the p democrats have been saying and tim morrison said the ukrainians weren't aware that aid was being withheld until more than a month after the phone call between president zelensky and president trump. how can you have a quid pro quo when the other party is unaware that the financial pay is in play. >> the substance is a sham. i can't help but watch the show. what did garrett tenney break down, new transcripts from jennifer williams and tim morrison. jennifer williams and tim morrison are testifying this week. we already know what they said. they said it behind closed doors where they rehearsed. now we're going to take it public because it's all a show. they want to affect public opinion and tim morrison, what he said was yeah, we put it on the private server because we didn't want it to be leaked because so much of what our

administration has faced has been leaked. the substance isn't there. >> that might be why huckabee was on fox saying that he thinks it's a fishing expedition. >> this is a long litany of the excuse of the week for impeachment. when they can't find it works, it's like a fisherman out on the boat, he throws a lure, calves s nothing, he keeps throwing different lures, hoping a fish will bite. these folks are going back to the shore with an empty boat. >> jennifer williams who works for mike pence, not a never-trumper, this is someone inside the white house, he listened on the call, he said it was unusual and inappropriate. >> she originally said -- i believe she told congressional investigators he she originally believed it was president trump that mentioned barisma and her

attorneys said no, it was actually president zelensky. >> it was raised by the ukrainians. >> it changes the dynamics of the story to a great degree. >> there was an election last night in louisiana for governor. the incumbent governor, a democrat, was reelected. this is days after the president went down there, louisiana, to rally on behalf of the challenger, eddie rispone. critics will say the president lost. one thing i take away from this -- >> people will say or the results will say? >> i don't know if there's some -- >> ed henry will say the president lost. >> will you tell me how he won. >> as i look at the race this morning, if you look at john bel edwards, who was reelected, he ran as a pro-life, pro-gun, tax cutter and he ran away from national democrats and eddie rispone had no name id when he got into the race. president trump was willing to fight for him. if you're a national democrat, this is still bad news for you. because you couldn't go down to

louisiana and win. >> ed? >> you couldn't. >> let me see. democrats won in louisiana last night. >> they did. >> and it's bad for them. >> a democrat dressed as a republican. he looks like a national republican so he can win in a heavily democratic state down there. >> the president went there three times in the last few weeks. >> to try to salvage a guy like eddie rispone. >> same deal in kentucky, had a bad candidate, president went there, he didn't win. >> you have pete buttigieg topping the iowa polls right now. you've got a couple socialists. you've got joe biden who doesn't know what state they're in. they think they'll go to louisiana, where they're running on raising taxes, open borders, green new deal, medicare for all, none of those things are going to work in louisiana. >> as much fun as it has been to have a front row seat to the amazing debate between the two of you, we have more topics to get to.

pete won. i don't know. we'll leave that up to you guys at home. >> we have more topics to get to. attorney general barr -- >> quite a speech. >> he gave an amazing speech. look, it's the democrats who are undermining our institutional norms and he sort of said that again and he called out liberals for their push to use politics to remake society into their own image with just little regard for the constitution. listen to what he had to say. >> in any age the so-called progressives treat politics as a religion. their holy mission is to use the power of the state to remake man and society in their own image according to an abstract ideal of perfection. they never ask whether the action they take could be justified as a general rule of conduct equally a applicable to all sides. what would we think if the shoe

were on the other foot? we hear them i correspondence tg the courts. who is shredding constitutional norms? >> i think this is why democrats are so scared of bill barr. they love to attack him and say he's the water boy for the president. this guys was attorney general 10, 15 years ago. he could care less about the democratic criticism. he's taking their criticism of the president, that he doesn't listen to norms, and turning it around on they'll, saying you're the ones trying to abolish the electoral college because you're frustrated you can't beat this president. you have a de dually elected president, you're doing everything to tear him down. >> democrats were calling for -- if you want to undermine americans' faith in institution, try getting peel people t people

desire of their state. it actually backfired. hillary clinton had nor defectors than president trump did. >> donald trump was elected to undermine our institutional norms which got us to where we are in so many different ways. bill barr is a baller. guy doesn't care, he's not beholden to anyone. >> he also plays the bagpipes. >> i didn't know that. >> including the president. they can attempt to tie him to doing the bidding of this president. he hasn't from day one. he's been willing to stand up for the agenda of the president which is what an attorney general is supposed to do. man, what a surprise gift for a lot of supporters of the president an conservatives that bill barr is there at this moment, he speaks boldly and sees the world through clear eye. >> absolutely. >> here we are on sunday, millions of people around the country will be going out to services to worship. there's something happening in texas that's going to be pretty remarkable. greg abbott is praising kanye west this morning ahead of

sunday services with joel osteen, one of the biggest pastors in the world. they're expecting a record crowd of 45,000 people. kanye continues to kind of change the whole -- his whole approach, make it more god-focused, more faith-focused. there are people scalping tickets online this morning to get in there. this was just the last couple days, ahead of the big services today in houston where he went to a prison and he was preaching the gospel there. using his music to reach out to prisoners. >> it's beautiful because you see people on their knees, you see people reaching out to jesus. governor abbott tweeted about this. he said what kanye west done to inspire the incarcerated is transformative. saving one soul at a time, inmates who turn to god may get released earlier because of good he behavior and may be less likely to commit future crimes. it would be great if other artists followed kanye's lead. after he dropped his jesus is king album, they saw increases

in google searches for jesus and biblical related searches. it is incredible how one person can inspire so many people. >> who could have seen, who could have previewed kanye west standing on stage with joel osteen and tickets going for $500 on the side market. it's going to be an amazing show today. e-mail us, what do you think, friends@foxnews.com, is kanye west having an influence on christianity and in what way. >> first lieutenant clint lorance released from prison six years after being found guilty of murder in the death of taliban fighters. the president was urged to look into the case. we have details next. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand.

>> president trump taking action to clear the names of three american service members, granting clemency for two of the army officers, major matt goldstein and first lieutenant clint lorance. first lieutenant clint lorance released from a military prison, there's video right there, thanking president trump. he was released six years after being found guilty of murder over the death of three taliban fighters. michael waltz has been monitoring the case closely. he joins us now. congressman, thanks for being here this morning. >> thanks, pete. >> your reaction to the president's actions on friday night? >> first, i want to say that this is absolutely 100% within the president's right to do as commander in chief. when it comes to the united states military, he is the ultimate boss and he can make this call. i have had questions and concerns about first lieutenant lorance's case in particular for some time.

sent a letter along with other congressmen and women to the president, asking him to look into it and asking him to look in in this case a pardon. here's the problem, pete, what we have to avoid and what we can not do. i'm not saying that he made -- did everything perfectly. i'm not saying that he didn't make mistakes, but war is ugly. war is messy. often you find yourself in gray zones under a lot of pressure, having to make instant snap decisions of shoot or no shoot. i've had to make those decisions, i'm sure you have had to as well in combat. what we can't do is fall into this pattern where we have people back in washington, d.c., a bunch of lawyers monday morning quarterbacking these decisions from 5,000 miles away. in this case, he was accused of murder. he had to make a snap decision with his platoon on whether to shoot or not shoot. he may have made a mistake or not made a mistake, but to be

accused of murder and to be put in prison for 20 years from a combat zone decision i thought was kind of beyond the pale. >> very well said from someone who understands it and has been there himself. here's a statement from the pentagon after the president issued the pardons. they said the department of defense has confidence in the military justice system, the president is part of the justice system as the commander in chief and has authority to weigh in on these matters. the pentagon pushed back, didn't want the president to take this action. they cite confidence in the military justice system. what did the president see that the pentagon is missing here? >> well, one of the things i want to point out, though, is the pentagon pushed back. the president made his decision and the pentagon is saluting and moving out and following those orders. not like you see a lot of times in washington, where they start working behind the scenes or trying to undercut. this pentagon is well-led and

they're going to move out and they're going to execute. the system doesn't always get it right. it certainly wasn't getting it right in the case of chief eddie gallagher, where you had a lot of prosecutorial misconduct and i think what the president sees is we train these guys to go overseas and do the nation's business and they find themselves in these gray zone situations that are very murky, that are very difficult to work out. look, if there is a clear war crime, years ago we had a staff sergeant walk into a village and execute sievans, he'll be in -- civilians, he'll be in jail the rest of his life. in the gray area situations, the president will give him the benefit of the doubt. >> thank you for joining us this morning. >> we will have eddie gallagher on this program in the 7:00 hour, 7:20. and clinclint lorance will makes first television interview here

teenagers and their judgment isn't what it will be some day. we already control their lives for their benefit, whether it's driving or anti-text ting or limiting social media. in a world where you have the heroin, fentanyl crisis, killing our children, you have high potency marijuana and you have vaping, why not take a bold but measured tes step to test them d hopefully save a life. >> that sounds like a reasonable step. what say you? >> when will they start doing it, the day after the prom? will they test teachers and administrators and principals. if they don't do that, the level of hypocrisy will be very high in the school, any school that does this. what you're talking about here is conditioning students to be ready for a police state. that's not what our founders envisioned when they thought about how the constitution applies to people. we're talking now -- students don't have the same rights. they have lesser rights and

schools can have greater authority to search people. but still has to be reasonable here. and what are you doing here when you -- what kind of message are you sending to students? if you don't take the test, it will be counted as a positive test. right? that's the problem. you're already teaching these young children that, hey, you're guilty if you don't want to do this. practically, there's other problems here. you korea ate cree -- create ak market for clean urine. how will the test be administered. what kind of false positives will you get. how do you prevent kids who say i need this drug, so therefore they'll take legal opioids and start using that to mask illegal opioids. >> let's give joe a chance to react to that. he's saying it's going to be like a police state environment for these students. >> it's not a police state. it's about good parenting. i'm a former police chief and

prosecutor. i look at this as not being punitive but a parent that wants to be preventative, to keep our kids away from bad habits until they can make their own decision. one of the best things about this, ed, is the fact that it gives students an excuse to fight against peer pressure and to say no to drugs because now they can say hey, we're all going to be tested and i can't show up positive or i can't play football or i can't be a cheerleader. we need to do this for them. >> we had a statement from the principal at the school. they basically say that this is in the best interest of the students ultimately. how do you react to that? >> again, this is an extension of what's in this country, a failed war on drugs. i also am a former prosecutor. i used to prosecute drug cases to me, that was a waste of time and money. if this school is starting to drug test, has to test students for drugs, they have bigger problems than drugs in school. have you to ask yourself, what's

going on in the school, what's going on in society and all you're doing is trying to create a punitive measure, police state. address the underlying problems that are causing kids to use drugs. >> gentlemen, thissis this isst going away. thank you for coming in. >> th what were the key take-s of the impeachment hearings. we'll break it down next. plus, chip and joanna gaines making a special appearance at espn's college game day in texas. it's how they arrived that has a lot of people talking this morning. we'll explain, next. ♪ i'm happy to give you the tour, i love doing it.

for me, she's the big winner. the big loser is joe biden. i'm innocent is not a presidential campaign. he's been sliding. i wrote that he will not be the nominee. i think he drops out before the end of march when he does a horrible showing in iowa and before the end of february, actually, and new hampshire. >> you think before new hampshire? >> right after that. those two, he leaves before. kamala harris doesn't make the gate. the point being, i have to say that from california, but the point being, he's in a bad place because every time hunter biden's name shows up, that's not a good campaign thing for him. >> hunter biden came up at the hearings of course. let's listen to that and react. >> i raised my concern that hunter biden's status at a board member would he create the perception of a conflict of interest. >> i have met former vice president biden several times over the course of many years in government service. neither he nor the previous administration every raised the issue of either barisma or

hunter biden with me. >> we know that barisma, two weeks before biden got that prosecutor fired, we know barisma paid money to the lobbying firm, they were lobbying in america, then they got fired and barisma comes back. republicans need to tell americans what obama and biden did or the fact that kennedy lobbied against reagan. >> you mentioned joe biden. you were the former chair of the renne party in california -- republican party in california. my mind was on the democratic convention in california that happened. it's a progressive circus. you didn't have joe biden attend, neither did you have elizabeth warren. why? >> i think joe biden honestly doesn't travel well it's really hard running for president and going across time zones and he's not -- you don't see him all over iowa. you don't see him all over new hampshire. he's not a comeback kid.

for or does this translate into new hampshire, south carolina and throughout the process? are we looking at at a possible front runner here? >> i don't think we're anywhere near knowing frontrunner, especially with michael bloomberg and duvall patrick getting into the race and the amount of money bloomberg might spend on you attack ads on president trump might change a lot of the game. pete buttigieg is reminiscent for people of obama and iowa is a state that went for president obama. if you have that kind of thing working for you, it could be very helpful there. he's still questionable in new hampshire. he has been rising. he's got serious problems in nevada if you look at polling and in south carolina. he was at 3%. he needs iowa to be able to sustain through south carolina to get to the opportunity of super tuesday. iowa is one -- taking a look at it this way, he's a big part of the strategy. >> it's just a fascinating political rise especially all

this time, all this resistance to this president, ultimately the mayor of south bend is one ahead in iowa. any other predictions of where iowa and new hampshire ultimately go? >> no, because elizabeth warren has home field advantage in new hampshire. are we playing to name recognition or playing to policy. the people in new hampshire really like $52 trillion plan? they know they're being lied to on middle class tax increases. pete buttigieg, we don't know--the policies are the same policy. elizabeth warren is saying medicare for all is an option. she's trying to smooth it over right now. i think the best is president obama trying to tell people maybe slow down on all the talk. >> all this radical talk. lisa: it's interesting that he's an alleged sort of moderate in the democrat party today. but interesting times. >> we've got to leave it right there. but thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> today we are taking care of

send out pretty much every week. our main volunteer group comes in on monday mornings. we get names through our website and word of mouth, people give us family members or friends that are deployed. we will get a name. that person starts getting a box immediately. we ask nothing from the family members unless they want to come and add a personal touch to the box. as soon as we get a name, we send it out until their deployment ends. >> what's it mean to you to he see so many people willing to help and wanting to pitch in? >> heart-warming. and that's what keeps us going. i mean, no one gets paid. not even compensated for gas or anything. it's a labor of love. once you start -- what's fun is watching the kids. they will go and pick out an item that they like, one pack of gum or bag of candy. and to see them put that in that box, they have a ball with that. >> it's super cool. and chris and rosemary, how long have you been doing this? >> 12 years. i've been doing it for 12 years.

>> i've been doing it about 10. my daughter wen to west point fm 2008 to 2012. both of my children are in the military, both have been deployed. it means a lot more to me. i see firsthand them sharing the boxes we send them. obviously my kids, they might get an extra box or two. we have pictures of where she opens a box and the soldiers come around and grab stuff. it's heart-warming to see that. >> how can people help, if they can't be on fox square. >> we have a website, operationjerseycares. i believe you can make donations through the website. >> as someone who has received many care packages, it is greatly appreciated. it does raise morale. when there's a good one, there's a feeding frenzy. >> people share. beautiful. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> coming up next, a fox news

profound threat to democracy and a sharaand. that's the way you kick off an important week that's supposed to be partisan. >> two years ago i stood before you and i urged you to resist and you did. we are more than resistance now. we are a majority. we are a majority in one house and we will become the majority in the other and we will send-we will send that charlatan in the t white house, back to the golden throne he came from. >> oh, yeah, we're going to get a real fair process. he has written the rules of his own committee. he decides who is going to appear. hwe're supposed to believe a single word that comes out of his mouth? >> this is a guy who lied about russia collusion for years to the american people and then it was obstruction of justice despite the fact that attorney

general bill barr released 90% of the mueller report. they were completely transparent with it. now with ukraine, the trump administration, president trump released the transcript of the phone call with president zelensky. now we're onto ukraine. what is next? if it's not ukraine, it's something else. adam schiff is the guy behind it all. he's been on the brunt of tons of criticism for the way he conducted the secret hearings prior to the house making a vote. >> rehearsals. >> keeping them in secret, not releasing the transcript. >> it's like "american idol." he's running an america "americ" come and reverse in front of us, to see how you do. if you foo pass to the next rou, then we'll go to the public where it's a rigged system. >> is "american idol" rigged? >> no, but this is. if that's what's going on, why do they come forward with these two quote, unquote, star witnesses at the beginning on day one that didn't advance the impeachment narrative. they had revelations but didn't

show impeachable offenses. when asked if they saw the president break the law, they said no. that's why kimberley strassel says it's pointless. >> this was actually adam schiff's best shot at drumming up some excitement. his opening statement, he put everything he had into it. these were his two star witness witnesses. democrats held all this in secret and then they leaked all of their best nuggets. there's nothing new in any of these hearings. we were subjected to five and-a-half hours of a deep dive into u.s. ukrainian policy by a number of bureaucrats relating dates and meetings. >> the point is you've got a lot of diplomates who didn't like the way the president was conducting foreign policy and are saying this is the way we should do it, this is the way we've always done ukraine policy. he wanted to shake it up.

in the end, ukraine p got the aid. >> not only that, as we mentioned earlier in the show, president trump delivered on javelins and lethal aid when president obama did not. so if you think you're going to be critical of a president's policy and viewpoint on ukraine, it would be with the obama administration. the witnesses we saw last week don't have firsthand knowledge of the call that took place. they were not privy to it, they were not on the call. this upcoming week we have witnesses that were but it's sort of weird to lead with the first three witnesses who have no firsthand knowledge. >> this week will be breathless and pointless. i wish we could fast forward to saturday "fox fox and right "ft now. we know what will happen. we have to watch the show anyway. we'll do the best job at the fox news channel. >> another issue that we've covered extensively on this program is the kneeling controversy in the nfl, started by colin kaepernick. he's been out of the league for three years for a number of reasons.

the nfl threw him a bone yesterday to give a private practice at the falcons facility there in front of 25 scouts, of the 32 teams. he pulled a fast one at the last minute, saying no, i don't want to be a part of the official tryout. i'm going to a local high school 60 miles away. i want the media to watch and he's saying he's the victim in this. >> because the nfl wanted to decide which media members would be there. they also wanted for him to sign some sort of liability agreement in case he got hurt. >> the nfl says it's standards. >> when college players come in, they do the workouts. here's kaepernick explaining what went wrong. >> for years, i've been denied for three years. we all know why. i want to show in front of everybody, we have nothing to hide. we're waiting for 32 owners, the 32 teams, roge roger goodell, af

them to stop running. we're ready to go. the ball's in their court. we're ready to go. >> they were saying come here to the falcons training facility, we want to see you work out. >> this speaks to who he is. it's not about the bigger issues, it's about his own fame and elevating himself. i think this sort of stunt proofs. heatherproves that. the nfl said we're disappointing that collin did not appear for his workout. the nfl made considerable effort to work with collin's representatives. his decision has no effect on his status in the league. he remains an unrestricted free agent, eligible to sign with any club. >> that's the underlying question. why would you sign this circus? that's what you're going to get. by the way, it was close to the media, the original workout with the nfl, because it was meant to be for scouts of nfl teams. it was going to be recorded and sent to all 32 teams. so everyone would see his workout. the nfl also -- i'm not in the business of defending the nfl

that often but they also gave him -- he could choose the wide receivers, which is not normally done. he was allowed to film a nike commercial during the trials. >> they said okay. he wanted to bring another private crew of his own to film it. i think the nfl is saying why are you filming is, we're filming is for the nfl teams which is supposed to be the point, not for you to have your private collection and how might he use that if he what a film crew that captures an nfl scout making a comment that could be used against the nfl. the bottom line, he was trying to change the rules at the last minute. if you want to play in the nfl, come in, play by the rules. >> he showed up at the high school wearing a t-shirt that said kuna kinte, the character from roots. you want to be an activist, be an activist. do you want that distracting your team? >> i want to hear from the viewers at home. if you can write us at friends@foxnews.com, we want to hear what you have to say about

this. please write us and let us know. >> we'll have jack brewer and a couple -- mike tox, jeremy stat on the program in the 8:00 hour to break it down. >> some people who saw him said his arm was pretty good. they should let his talent -- >> it's about the show. >> seems to be. >> turning now to a few of your headlines. six men facing charges after a shooting at a high school football game. >> one of them charged with attempted murder, others facing weapons charges. police say the intended target is in stable condition and will also be charged. a 10-year-old boy caught in the cross fire is in critical condition. a 15-year-old boy is okay after being grazed by a bullet. and incumbent democrat john bel edwards winning a second term as democratic governor

we are back with a fox news alert. president trump intervening on behalf of three u.s. service members accused of convicted of war crimes. the president issued pardons to matthew goldstein and clint lorance and restored the rank of eddie gallagher, who worked tirelessly to clear his name after being accused and eventually acquitted of war crimes last july. chief petty officer eddie gallagher joins us now. chief, thank you so much for being on the program. congratulations. your initial reaction when you learned, got a phone call from the president of the united states, that you were going to get your rank back? >> it was pretty surreal to get a phone call from the white house and have them tell you that the president is on the line for you. so i had a feeling that it was coming because the president has shown the nation that he's been

a man of his word this whole time since he took office and it was just overwhelming. it was a feeling of joy and gratitude to be able to speak to him and to hear what the decision that he was making from his mouth. >> can you share a little bit of what the president said to you? >> sure. he was very easy to talk to, he got on the phone. he cracked a joke with me. he saw me at the veterans day parade in new york in the crowd and then he proceeded to tell me that -- he thanked me for my service and told me he was going to restore my rank back to chief petty officer and e expunging everything from my record so i could retire honorably. it was like this thing had never happened. >> that's an even bigger thing, to expunge it all and say hey, like this never happened, you're going to get an opportunity to retire if you so choose, with all the honors that you've earned through your service to our country.

what does you understand about your situation, about our war fighters that brings him to make these kind of decisions, do you believe? >> he knew a lot about my situation and knew a lot about all the injustices that went on during this whole ordeal that i went through. we talked about the prosecutors, chris chatblack who was spying on my defense team. he said if that were to happen in new york, those people would have been arrested. and then he also went into cory scott, the seal who stood up and took ownership of what really happened and pretty much he told me that he wanted to instill confidence back into the war fighters of our community a that we're going over there and doing the job and he didn't want them second-guessing themselves, he wanted them to know that they

had a president who had their back. >> you mentioned all the war fighters. as you know, first lieutenant clint lorance was released from prison the same day, got a phone call from the president, as well as matt goldstein got the phone call and was cleared. we had matt on the p program yesterday. here's what he said. listen. >> 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. >> do you feel the same way? do you feel like the military justice system is in some ways broken? >> oh, it definitely is broken. it's a system that needs to be fixed and that's what i plan on

doing when i finally retire. isi'm going to start a nonprofit and help war fighters that are going through ordeals that i went through, also use that as a platform to speak out on justice reform in the military. >> very cool. continuing to give back. very briefly, how's your family doing, how's your wife after all of this? >> she is overjoyed. bits like a huge weight that is taken off our shoulders. i don't think that we've -- it's fully sunk in since we got the news yesterday or the day before yesterday. we're still sort of on cloud nine about it now. but i can tell you that my family is completely grateful for this decision. and then we are -- i'll be returning back to work tomorrow, putting in for retirement. i'll be returning in a defensive posture because i'm expecting full retaliation from my

command. >> wow. that is -- keep us posted if that indeed happens. they're messing with the prerogative of the commander in chief. eddie l gallagher, thank you so much for your time this morning and i want to note that clint lorance will be on the program tomorrow. more "fox & friends" on the other side. it was in this small little village- in connemara. right! connemara it is! there's one gift the whole family can share this holiday season, their story. give the gift of discovery, with an ancestrydna kit.

of off, move them towards citizenship, where are we in the process and president trump has been trying to cut a deal with democrats on the hill. that went nowhere. it's now before the supreme court. in the meantime, the government is putting stats out about daca migrants and it's pretty fascinating. one if in 10 now have an arrest record. >> data from the -- what was it, the u.s. center for citizenship, it was in the prompter, but i missed it. u.s. citizenship and immigration services put out the number arrested of daca recipients, 79,398 arrested out of 765,000. so roughly 10% of daca recipients or folks that fall into that category have gone on to commit crimes. >> to break that down a bit further. we've got 15 murders, 62 rape, 1,471 burglary, 3,308 assault. you can go on and look there. i think it puts into question regarding daca as well, you

know, look, if you live by executive order, things can change with the next president as well and president obama had previously said that, look, daca is a key priority for me and he didn't get it done throughout his administration and instead he moved by executive order which changes based off the next administration. >> look at capitol hill democrats who have said they want daca recipients to be addressed. >> supposed to be a priority. >> sos has the president. because they've been so invested in impeachment and hatred, they've been unwilling to come to the middle to make a compromise with a president who is willing to be a deal maker on this. maybe he wants additional border wall funding in exchange. he said he's willing to do it. they can't do anything other than be blinded by hatred. as a result, this group of people remains in a questionable status. we're seeing stats that some are committing their own crimes which econom complicates the si. >> 90% based on those numbers did not commit a crime. some have served in the

military, bravely, some have gone on to college, now have careers and are here in america, thriving, entrepreneu entreprenl spirit, that's consisten wonder. 1 # of% have gone on to -- 10% have gone on to commit crimes. there were theft, issues, but murder, rape, big, big deals here, and you've got to think about it. their parents come into the country illegally and now some of their kids are committing crimes. >> part of the challenge, why we've seen administrations both republican and democrat not being able to address this issue is there's splits in the republican party on how to address daca and other immigration related issues. there's splits on the left as well. when you have two parties that are divided, what the path forward looks like, and if you can't come together in your own party, figure out what the right answer is, how can you do it in a partisan way. congresses has been struggling

with it, how do you deal with this. are there border control efforts as well. you don't want to incentiveize more illegal immigration as well. this is why congress hasn't been able to address this. >> that's why the emergency at the border and the migrant crisis, you created daca 3.0 and 4.0. >> they said it was not a crisis, they said it was manufactured. >> it's a real crisis. >> breaking up is hard to do. that was a heck of a transition. the dunkin' donuts move that has people outraged. >> what did they do? >> as a frequent consumer, i want to know what i'm outraged about, and we're going to find out. ♪ i came in like a wrecking ball. ♪

usmca by the way, it's the greatest trade deal ever made and they should stop playing games. and mexico signed it many months ago. canada keeps calling me, when is this deal going to happen, is this deal going to happen and it's sitting on nancy pelosi's desk for about three months, four months. >> here to discuss is fourth generation farmer and founder of farm star living, mary blackman. >> thank you for being here. >> so great to be here. >> lovely to have you. as a farmer, how important is getting usmca passed? >> it's so important. we need to get it passed like immediately and wasting all this time is really hard on the farmers. i've talked to a lot of my farming friends and we all need fair deals, we need more markets to sell our food to and we need this like right now. especially the dairy industry, the dairy industry has really been hit hard and what i love about the usmca is the fact that

canada will allow us to sell three and-a-half times more of our dairy into canada. we desperately need that. >> mary, we've seen as you mentioned farmers have faced a lot of hardship in recent times. if you look at polling, 78% of farmers still stand with president trump. why is he seeing that kind of support in. >> well, you know, one of my farmers said to me, this whole trade deal is kind of like getting shot. no one really wants a shot at first. it's going to be a little painful. okay. but it will make you feel better. you'll be healthier. and things will be a lot better down the road. so that's why you're seeing such support because we do want fair deals and we need more markets to sell our product to, where it benefits us. >>i think what we needis some o. this looks amazing. this is from your farm. would you walk us through -- i see potatoes that get turned into wonderful mashed potatoes. this could be a nice thanksgiving feast. >> it sure could.

the way we celebrated chef as stars, i felt we should celebrate farmers as stars. and that's why i started farm star living to celebrate our farmers. they're the unsung heroes. as we gather around our thanksgiving table and give gratitude, where would we be without our food and farmers behind it. so who doesn't love mashed potatoes. >> i love it. >> i'll take you through a little bit about what's happening in the potato industry and the other industries. these are the foods you'll have on your table. in the potato world, they planted 1.1 million acres of potatoes this year, expecting 44 billion pounds of potatoes. now, you probably know that of course potatoes are grown in idaho. they're also grown in other areas like r north dakota. but man, mother nature was so rough this this year. the prime growing region, the red river valley, they suffered a lot. $45 million worth of damage, which equates to each farmer

losing about 1.1 -- 1,001 listen acres of potatoes. >> because of time, can only get to one more type of farmer. pick your type. >> apples, where would we be without apples. the most popular are the honey crisp, the gala, the pink lady. a really bad frost came in and 200 farming families gathered to hand pick the pink ladies before the frost hit and destroyed everything. now, they all -- they did lose half the crop. farmers said you know what, we saved half the crop too. to me, that captures the american spirit. it's resiliency. >> the president called it the biggest trade deal ever. this looks like the biggest apple pie ever. we may have to cut into it. thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> a big reveal from the impeachment hearings, the obama administration knew that hunter biden's spot on barisma's board did not look good.

so why wasn't there someone blowing the whistle then? >> good question. >> we'll have details next. ♪ rumor has it. ♪ rumor. ♪ rumor has it. ♪ rumor. ♪ rumor has it. ♪

>> we are back with quick headlines. your phone's bluetooth could connect you to cyber criminals. researchers at ohio state university say a design flaw in apps using bluetooth technology can leave devices exposed to hackers who can locate your devices and listen in on your conversations. developers are working on fixing this big glitch. call kurt the cyber guy. the biggest danger in your phone might be you. a new survey reveals the average american drops their phone four times a week. that seems actually low.

33% admitted they once dropped their phone in the toilet. i am one of those people. ed, over to you. >> very funny. the obama administration was concerned about hunter biden's spot on the barisma board. watch. >> i have met former vice president biden, neither he nor the previous administration every raised the issue of barisma or hunter biden with me. >> you testified that in this particular practice q & a with the obama state department it wasn't just generally about barisma and corruption, it was specifically about hunter biden and barisma. is that correct? >> yes, it is. >> so why didn't anyone blow the whistle back then? our next guest says this shows democrats have a double standard. he's gop strategist john thomas. he joins us this morning to explain. good morning, john. >> good morning, ed. it really does underscore that the democrats don't care -- they don't care when their team breaks the law because it's

crystal clear that the obama administration understood that this was a liability for hunter biden and not just the a political liability, this was a political nightmare but they decided to look the other way. >> on that point -- >> when it comes to trump, they can't control it. >> you say democrats look the other way when someone breaks the law. what law did hunter biden break? >> look, it's a corruption issue. he's abusing his relationship to his father to get special access and influence to the united states government. >> okay. so there may be questions but it's not clear that he broke any law, let's just be upfront about that. but your point, big picture here, certainly being these are hearings designed to bring up bad stuff about the president and yet we hear witnesses even before yovanovitch, the former ambassador. let's talk about george kent. as you know, he's a career diplomat. he didn't just serve under president obama, he -- in 2015, what did he do, he went to the

vice president's office and said i think there's a conflict of interest here. >> yeah, well, there's more than just a -- it's more than a conflict of interest. i think the challenge is, look, we should be hauling in hunter biden to find out what -- how did he get the job, why was he qualified to get the job, was this the only job that he got for a foreign government while his father was vice president, oversaw territory like the ukraine. but adam schiff and the democrats don't want to have that conversation. because they want to make this all about the president and not the hypocrisy on this issue. >> the ranking member of the intelligence committee, devin nunes, tried to get hunter biden to come in as a witness and that was shot down by adam schiff. when you have all these quote, unquote, star witnesses who are supposed to have bad information about the president but they come forward and say there were actually problems in 2015 or so with the obama, biden

administration, when adam schiff shuts that down, what does that tell you about this process? >> it's completely rigged. this thing has become a game of telephone on second and thirdhand accounts and adam schiff wants to tightly control this to fit his political narrative because ed, let's be clear, this is not about the truth. this is all about impeaching a president fro so the democrats n keep their base fired up so they can beat trump in 2020. that's all this is. >> john thomas, we appreciate you coming in with your insights. certainly a lot of people raising questions about a double standard. we'll stay on top of it. >> alarming reports of anti-semitic attacks on two college cam be puss, this is a big story, what could be behind the disgusting incidents, that is next.

>> welcome back. a disturbing new trend on college campus as incidents of anti-semitism surge. just last week a video surfaced showing a student at george washington university drunkenly advocating for the bombing of israel while using anti-semetic language. >> as the department of education opens up a probe into nyu that will investigate, quote, unquote, whether as a result of incidents that occurred at the university a hostile environment existed for jewish students on the campus and if so whether the university responded appropriately. what's behind all this. >> joining us now to discuss, elizabeth hipko. thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> what's behind all these incidents? >> i think the bds movement is behind all of this, a movement that did not have a lot of support in recent years, actually, and now that it's been pushed by democratic congress

women, the face of the progressive movement in our country, regularly campaigning with a frontrunner in the democratic race, they're pushing the movement. i don't think those that are supporting it are understanding the impact it's having on young people across the country. >> what should people know about the bds movement? >> it's simple. the bds movement aims to wipe israel off of the map, it's that simple. when attacking israel and targeting israel in that way, by extension you are targeting all jews across the country and across the world. >> i want to jump in. i think we assume that people know what bds is. explain what bds stands for. >> boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for people that don't know. >> it's to drain israel of all the finances, all its support, everything that keeps it going. it's the only democracy in the middle east, it's also our strongest ally, one of the strongest allies. we've had a great relationship

since president trump came into office. what the left is doing is simply trying to reverse what president trump has done. not really realizing how good he's been for so many people, not realizing the impact they're having on so many people on college campuses and across the world. >> you want to stop the bds movement, you're speaking out to bring facts to people, but what do you do on college ca campuseo make sure our young people understand how bad this is and to not do what they're doing on the campuses, the disgusting displays we're seeing. >> i think it's important to point out for everyone watching today, for all those on college campuses, that actually 95% of american jews do support israel so though these group may be the loudest on twitter or in their rooms, they are not actually the majority. i hope that's calming for a lot of college students. i hope people understand that. i hope they learn that president trump like i said has been the hands down best president that we've had for jewish americans and for israel in our country

and to keep promoting his message, not the other side. >> you're the founder of the exodus movement, what is that. >> our goal is to encourage and empower especially young people but all jewish americans to see the benefits of conservatism, of zionism and promoting everything that's going on in the right in recent years and fighting this anti-semitism that's been pushed on both sides of the aisle 100% and making sure jewish americans have a super pac looking out for their best interest. >> good for you. elizabeth, thank you for bringing these stories up. >> thank you for your work. >> thank you. >> meanwhile, a fox news alert, violence and fires erupting in hong kong. these are live pictures of the scene. morgan ortagus will join us live with an update, that is coming up. .

overwhelming. it was a feeling of joy and gratitude. he thanked me for my service and told me was going to be restoring my rank back to chief petty officer and also expunging everything from my record so that i could retire honorably and basically it was like this thing had never happened. he wanted to instill confidence back in to the war fighters in our community that were going over there and doing the job and he didn't want them second-guessing themselves and he he wanted them to know he had a president who had their back. pete: you cannot underestimate the amount of gratitude these guys had. we had matt on the show yesterday. i wanted to watch your show will had a beer with matt and his wife julie after the show here. he had been through such an ordeal. had you jack keane on. the point is very important voice in all of this. i raised the fact that secretary esper, the president's own defense secretary had advocated against this and thought it

would be bad for the military justice system. bottom line jack keane understands both sides and respects secretary esper at the end of the day he supports the commander-in-chief on this. jack keane as a retired general was saying look, you need to back these war fighters. they are in -- dealing with tough business. you can't second-guess them at every turn. you need to give them every tool, every power to get the job done and protect this great nation. and jack keane says he comes down on the commander-in-chief side and said you have to back the war fighters. lisa: you were hearing from a lot of service members about their take on this because you have been following these stories and talking to some of these individuals like the golsteyns yesterday, eddie gallagher today. of what are you hearing from people that are serving? pete: what i hear you from the guys that are serving, a lot of people have reached out to me. they are beyond grateful to have a commander-in-chief that sees the whole picture. isn't just saying let the system play out. he realizes it can be rigged against the guy us. that's not how i want to fight them as

commander-in-chief. those rules of engage you meant have been burden some. including the prosecution. michael waltz a green beret congressman talked about in that gray zone split second decisions who do you give the benefit of the doubt to. president trump has said time and time again i'm going to give it to the guy who had the courage to be there in that moment and make a difficult call. one of those guys as i mentioned little bit earlier clint lorance it was his second patrol ever as a new platoon leader as a new unit. he made the order to fire on guy was motorcycles. ultimately we found they were taliban bomb makers we didn't know it at the moment. he was charged with murder fort leavenworth prison seven years. he will be on set with us tomorrow morning. he got out late friday night and spent time with his family and drove to texas to be with his mother. getting on a plane today flying to new york and tomorrow morning he will be in studio. in that video where he was released. oh my goodness. his family was over the moon. the only words he uttered there was thank god for

president trump. thank you, mr. president. lisa: we are going to keep following that story as you mentioned. tune in to "fox & friends" tomorrow. we are also following what's happening on capitol hill. it's the calm before the storm that we are going to see this week. ed: democrats planning a big week jam-packed three days of impeachment inquiry hearings after a close you had door deposition in washington yesterday. pete: another week of this? garrett tenney is live in our nation's capitol with the latest on the impeachment push. >> good morning. one. response from the republicans is that most of the witnesses heard from do not have firsthand knowledge. on saturday we received the transcripts of two individuals who were on that call. tim morrison of the national security council and jennifer williams, annual advisor to vice president pence. williams testified it was unusual and inappropriate for the president to discuss possible investigations with ukraine's leader. morrison described it as troubling but told lawmakers it was not illegal.

he did, however, ask nsc's lawyers to review the transcript of the call because he was concerned it would be damaging if the call package leaked. well, on saturday, lawmakers heard from mark sandy, an official at the office of management and budget on why military aid to ukraine was held up. and after five and a half hours of testimony, republicans and democrats walked away with very different takes on what they heard. >> it seems clear to me from everything that i have seen, that he had one thing in mind. he wanted to shake down president zelensky. >> it was a great day for the republic. a really bad day for democrats. >> next week will be an even busier one in the impeachment inquiry with eight witnesses scheduled to testify in public. it will be a big one. back to you all. pete: garrett, thank you very much. the biggest loser from the program so far is joe biden. burisma keeps coming up. and hunter biden keeps coming up a friend shot me a note if the obama administration knew about

biden and burisma, but biden swore that he never talked to anybody about his son's role, somebody is lying here. lisa: that's also not what hunter biden has previously said. he says his dad did bring it up. george kent who testified last week who said he would be open to an investigation had brought it up to the obama administration,you know, flagged that as a concern. ed: 2015. lisa: elise stefanik part of the reason she is getting so much attention her line of questioning to the ukrainian ambassador she had asked her because when the obama administration prepared her for her senate confirmation hearing they brought up burisma and they wanted her to be ready for it. why would they have done that if it's not a concern. pete: it's all a charade. ed: this leads us to the next story. joe biden's woes may be on burismas. explain what's going on in the ground in iowa. 2020 democrat pete buttigieg is seeming now to first place in a critical poll.

a des moines register poll. 2020 dems, pete buttigieg at 25%. this is a mayor you have south bensd, indiana. elizabeth warren 16%. joe biden there at 15%. sanders at 15% as well. now, there is a margin of error. everybody is there, bunched up, joe biden could still be near the top of the pack. but if joe biden can't get a win in iowa and looks like you have elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, that's sort of home turf in new hampshire because have you one from massachusetts and one from vermont. sanders did really well and won new hampshire three or four years ago. where is joe biden going to get a win? lisa: also keep in mind, i used to be a vice president of a polling firm. keep in mind the iowa caucuses are notoriously hard to poll. remember in 2016 people were saying that then candidate trump was going to win iowa. ended up being senator ted cruz. i think the biggest problem for joe biden is the lack of money. he really doesn't have a ton of cash on handle. 38% of his donors are

already maxed out. all theist big dollar donors not grassroots support. where is his money going to come from. pete: that's a big question. he will need it if he wins past early states. amy klobuchar is at 6%. she is from minnesota. if she can't crack it in iowa she can't cut it anywhere. lisa: good point. pete: responding to pete buttigieg's surge here is what he had to say. >> he is running a very good campaign in iowa. never mind policy conversation. talk about how you are running campaign. he stays on message. he stays on task. cool, calm, and collected. they worked a ground game there as people in iowa tell me is the kind of voice that people enjoy hearing. he has been aggressively and that's worked out very, very well for him. then add elizabeth warren's 52 trillion-dollar healthcare plan. add that joe biden can't string four sentences together. add bernie sanders screaming get off my lawn. and you get somebody who seems more reasonable, rising up. two things coming together at the same time.

pete: really good analysis. pete buttigieg is basically saying "i'm not a lunatic." ed: staying out of the way: we'll be watching. turning to your headlines. starting with a fox news alert. going up in flames outlines of hong kong university. that happened just moments ago. pro-democracy protesters putting bricks in the road as a makeshift barricade before lighting them up and throwing them at police. a massive fire engulfed an overpass near the university earlier this morning. this is a developing story. we will be talking about it with morgan ortagus in a few moments it. turns out taking heart medication might thought be any different than getting bypass surgery. a ground breaking study new out from stanford and nyu says sentence and minor heart procedures are no more effective than drug treatment and better health habits when it comes to preventing heart attacks. the researches found that sentence and surgery work better when relieving certain symptoms like chest pains.

democrat john bel edwards won a second term as louisiana governor that happening overnight. remember, president trump rallied for the republican businessman eddie risz pony multiple times before the election. edwards aalluded to that in his election speech. >> what a great night it is for louisiana. and as for the president, god bless him for it. ed: wards getting 54% of the vote. president there working northward that runoff election. it's interesting because he immediately, rather than saying oh, i beat you, mr. president, he knows he is in a state where he has got to reach across the aisle. lisa: i was enjoying the show watching you guys earlier. ed: he was spinning. pete: john bel edwards ran as a democrat of the dying he is a pro-gun, tax cutter, capitalist. is he not for the green new

deal, not for open borders. not for kneeling for the anthem. not for all the nonsense that nationalist socialist democrats are about. if you take that nonsense nationalist stuff and win in louisiana against president trump. you can't do it. this tells us nothing. lisa: any thoughts? ed: i want pete to get in there. lisa: i was winding him up. ed: curious why you think the president won. pete: eddie risz pony was a no name. the president helped him out. because the president fights for his side. ed: he does. lisa: it was fun. pete: filers erupting in hong kong: we get to take part on fox square later this hour. ♪ for amber waves of grain

protesters occupying a university. this threatening to escalate the violence in the more than five month long movement. ed: dramatic pictures. here with update live on "fox & friends." state department spokesperson morga morgan ortag. good morning. his. >> good morning. ed: what can and what should the u.s. be doing now? >> well, it is important to note that the president has called on a humane resolution between china and the citizen of hong kong and secretary mike pompeo has often talked about over the past several months where we have seen these protests. he has called on china to honor its commitment as it relates to hong kong. so this was something that we have been discussing quite a bit at the state department. we think that there needs to be a dialogue between the government of hong kong and its citizens. we are certainly calling for a peaceful resolution and for peaceful protests. and these picture that's are seeing are certainly troubling. and we, again, we use this opportunity and this moment to call on the government of china to honor its

commitments as it relates to hong kong. pete: very dramatic pictures there, morgan. a lot of people look at what is happening in hong kong there are freedom fighters who don't want the thumb of china crushing their ability to stay free. is there anything else more the united states should or could be doing. >> we obviously have many diplomats on the ground in hospitalization congress. we continue to work to urge a resolution between the government and the people and the citizens there. this is where we really need to go into diplomatic conversations and into a peaceful dialogue. we need the government of hong kong to understand the demands and the needs of their citizens. you remember this began several months ago because of an extradition law that this is what set the citizens inflamed. and so it's that sort of dialogue that needs to happen between the government of hong kong and the citizens. lisa: we are also watching what is happening seen what's happening gas rationing and price hikes as

secretary pompeo says he is standing with the iranian protesters. what are you watching for with these protests and is this a tipping point? >> thanks for asking, lisa. this is one of the most important stories around the world that's happening this weekend. and what we are seeing is the people of iran are demanding accountability. or demanding transparency with their government. you know, what we saw during the jcpoa whenever iran got billions of dollars of sanction relief from the united states and our allies. we never saw that money going to the iranian people. the billions of dollars in sanctions relief weren't used for new roads, new hospitals, new schools. and instead, that money was used to fund iran's terrorist proxies throughout the middle east. so what you are seeing today and we certainly stand by the people of iran, what you are seeing today is them standing up to their government saying that, you know, we demand accountability. we demand transparency. you are seeing this around the word in authoritarian

regimes. look what's going on in venezuela where juan guaido or standing up to maduro and his cronies. the bigger picture the news media is missing this weekend when you look at hong kong, venezuela and iran and lebanon people are standing up for accountability and end for corruption and end corruption in their countries. ed: i know we are going from hong kong to iran. i there is an important case involving an american citizen. on vacation with his family. scott halfgood he says a hotel worker came in with a knife, essentially trying to kill him, his wife, hills kids, and in protecting himself, he is now being charged with murder, essentially. the president tweeted about this some weeks ago and said thought u.s. was going to have his back. can you give us some update on what the administration might be doing to make sure that he is safe. >> it's important to note

that the highest priority for secretary pompeo and the president is the safety and security of all-american citizens when they are abroad. we have a very large counselor of affairs unit at the state department that helps citizens around the world with these sorts of issues and while we want report on any specific case, we will say that we're watching this case very closely and, again, that the safety and security of americans is something that we're pursuing at the state department. ed: all right. an important priority no doubt. morgan ortagus we appreciate you taking in all these questions in hot spots around the world. thanks for coming. >> in thank you. pete: famed anthem kneeler colin kaepernick causing chaos with change to nfl workout. was it nothing but a publicity stunt? well, that's a question. you are panel of former nfl players coming in to weigh in coming up next ♪ ♪ i'm bad.

this side show? >> you know, it's all a big p.r. stunt. if this guy really wanted to make a change and do something, he would actually get more involved. the whole things about taking a knee to raise awareness about his issue. if you have got the issue and raise the issue about it, what have you done to actually brings resolve and solutions to it. you know. i'm a veteran. i'm a third generation veteran i think the v.a. system has a lot of issues. i'm going to get involved. i'm running for congress to go in and change the system. i'm not going to cast stones at those trying to help the veterans out. same thing with law enforcement. if you have a problem with law enforcement. >> why is he is not stretching his hand out trying to build a bridge. if he wants to play football, why is he not trying to work out and be a good, viable product. right now he is just trying to fight the system and act like he is fighting for the people. is he really not. this is all pr stunts. ed: thank you for your service as a marine by the way. i want to mention the nfl had a statement. bring mike into the conversation. we are disappointed that collin did not appear for workout. >> nfl made considerable effort to work cooperative

whether i collin's representatives. his he remains unrestricted free agent eligible to sign with any club. mike, where are we? what happens next? >> i guess put in his hands, because he is not exactly -- not exactly sure what's going to happen in this situation. obviously collin wants to come back and play again. he feels that the nfl hasn't done him right the last three years which everything that has happened in the past. and so obviously there is that trust issue. so he is trying to figure out his best way to come back to the league, which i don't know necessarily this was the right move for him or not. only time will be able to tell. ed: no doubt about it. another big incident i want to get all of you gentlemen to weigh in. myles garrett unbelievable where he ripped off the helmet of the steelers quarterback and smashed him in the head: he says punish cleveland browns myles

garrett but don't charge him with a crime. talk a little bit about, this jack. you see him representing off the helmet there and there is the quarterback on the ground. he has now been suspended indefinitely. buff there are actually some people trying to make the case that he should be charged with a crime. can you really do that. as despicable as it may have been it. happened on the field. it didn't happen out on the streets. >> yeah. there have been cases if you look at hockey there has been cases of guys actually being charged for hitting folks with sticks. if you look at you remember the incident that happened with the pacers back about 15 years ago. they also had some charges. but this case is a little bit different. people got to remember that the national football league is a violent sport. i remember the mentality that i had to have going onto the field to go down, run down, cover kickoff bus wedges. trying to take people's heads off. this -- not that it should be accepted in the game. but you can't go around, you know, charging a guy as if he is sitting in a corporate office working. that's not the environment. and we can't -- go ahead.

ed: pardon me i want to get jeremy and mike your thoughts. 10 seconds each. >> thing is it's a violent game. templars are running high. you know to be honest with you look at the trigger. the quarterback actually started it. you know, rudolph actually started it and gary finished it. unfortunately he lost a little bit of composure and struck him with a helmet which you can't blame the player for it. have you got to blame the helmet. ed: your thoughts. >> definitely playing in the nfl emotions run high, you know, in situations like this. but, definitely completely unacceptable what he did. i'm sure he will never make this mistake again. ed: it's closely watched. gentlemen, appreciate you all coming in today. have you back soon. thank you. >> adam schiff launching new attacks against the president. >> send that charlatan in the white house back to the golden throne he came from. ed: look at this, brian

>> we will send that charlatan in the white house back to the golden throne he came from. >> well, that was adam schiff in california yesterday. but we have got something way better than him right

now. brian kilmeade, "fox & friends" co-host, author of sam houston and the alamo avengers, the texas victory, that changed personal history. brian. lisa: hi, brian. pete: people checking their tvs thinking it's monday. this statement from adam schiff. brian: wait a second. is he preside go ahead over of the hearings prayerfully go out to try to find the truth. prayerfully going over it. he sounds like is he at a pep rally. watch the proceedings and the monotone way goes about them see on first glance he wants to get to the truth. the truth comes out 3,000 miles away on the west coast. he is out there for a political agenda. i think if i'm nancy pelosi, i'm furious. because of you have to go at least pretend to be there trying to be a prosecutor. to try to get to the bottom of this, to peel away and see if something is imeesmable. instead this is a campaign rally and a campaign promise. and i know in one way that people are out there what do you expect him to say he is from california? not about this. you go out there and you

want to go to bat for cory booker or amy klobuchar as they climb towards the nomination? that's fine. but not. this listen, he is not even playing the game well with that comment. lisa: brian, to that point, we were talking earlier on the couch the inat the intel committees on capitol hill are not supposed to be partisan. adam schiff has made it partisan. what's the broader impact of that. brian: if you really cared about witness intimidation, would you read the witness intimidation to the witness? lisa: great point. brian: if you believe tweeted against the person in front of you, who is a state department person who is going to very bad places and has to stare down viciousz dictators, a tweet should not be intimidating those state department people. and, if you have something in front of you that would intimidate someone in front of you, why would you read that to the person in front of you. instead you are trying to get political gain. he did it in a monotone way on friday. he did it in a major way

yesterday. ed: brian, you are under a lot of pressure tonight big special on the fox news channel. last week at the same time pete hegseth had a special and had monster ratings. it was terrific. this one, i bet, is going to be every bit as good. >> sam houston and the alamo avengers based on your book. tell us about it. brian: what i wanted to do sam houston and the texas fight for freedom, i don't want this to be a slice of american history. i want people to push back on american history and stand up for it. if we didn't grow up in texas, they get it in 4th grade, 67th grade and 11th grade. we get it one day. for the other 49 states. i think you should know nine out of every 10 people from texas at the time were from america. should have come texas and louisiana purchase. jefferson thought he got it. and what happened is these americans from davy crockett to jim buoy to william barrett travis and, of course, sam houston, would actually suffer big time but also win big time very quickly. and at a time in which we are taking down our statues and spray painting christopher columbus' hands in red, people of texas are

stands up and reclaiming the alamo footprint. and they are saying we care about this. the way they fought, the way they died needs to be commemorated and i would add this: when you challenge, say, at the water cooler, at the tailgate, wherever you are, you need some facts behind to you back up the statement that we are exceptional nation. this is another example. we have people like general mcchrystal come down who is obsessed with the alamo for a good way, for a military way. and bring us through a special. and if you do not know anything about the alamo, you kind of remember it from high school, i think that you will like this special. because we end with george p. bush. he has a political career on the dramatic up slide. he is saying we are reclaiming the footprint. bring you through it. it was a lot of fun we did over the summer. i will be honest, i'm not as sexy as pit i wore three different unticket shirts untucs

because he understood the region, because he didn't. because he understood natural gas or oil extraction because he didn't. it's because who he was and the family he was connected to. it's disappointing in this moment in our country's history, where we have a trade deal that needs to be signed, our government is on the verge of being defunded, our military needs to be addressed properly, the media and the democrats are focused on putting this president on trial over something that never happened and using the word bribery. it's very, very disappointing. pete: charlie, if you watch these hearings and you really look at the witnesses they brought so far, you could say man, their case is unraveling. they have no one with firsthand knowledge. they acknowledge that they have seen no crime. yet, if the next day these networks they use the word bribery 43 times within a 24-hours of the coverage. so if you are not watching the hearings, but you are watching the nicely news, you are getting a totally different story. how do they overcome this kind of coverage? >> we have push back. to call these people witnesses is very deceiving.

as you mentioned they didn't witness anything. second hand knowledge, hearsay. look, we have the transcript. we know exactly what happened. and here's the other part of this, which really frustrates me is that for two years, the president of the united states and all of his allies and family were put through a taxpayer funded special counsel that alleged that there was collusion with the kremlin now that has been basically disproven until the guilty unless proven innocent. he did a ukrainian shakedown. wait a second, this president has stood up against russia more so than president obama ever did. pete, you know. this the javelins that were supplied to ukraine were much more sophisticated apartmentment than president obama ever supplied. corruption is the norm in ukraine. part of our treaty with ukraine is that both countries have a right and obligation to stand up to root out. lisa: charlie, we have got to get going. pete: obama sent him blankets and trump said we will send you missiles because we are playing in a

new york times" had previously reported and putting out there, daniel hoffman here at fox news has also raised this concern. you would think capitol hill, democrats and republicans are concerned about getting to the bottom of russian interference, wouldn't you want to know if the dossier was russian interference? pete: you'd think. there's still ongoing investigations that a lot of people forget about as well. but if you want to know what's going to happen this week, you can already read about it. because all of these people have already been through hearings in private so that they could be rehearsed to find out whether or not -- ed: don't you think adam hiv is open minded? -- schiff is open minded? he probably hasn't made up his mind. or has he? pete: the intelligence committee historically fiercely bipartisan, nonpartisan. hey, this is about national security. to your point, ed, adam schiff was in california at the democratic convention there because he's a democrat from california, and if you thought he was impartial, take a listen.

>> two years ago i stood before you and i urged you to resist and you did. but we are more than resistance now. we are a majority. we are a majority in one house, and we will become the majority in the other, and we will send, we will send that charlatan in the white house back to the golden throne he came from. ed: can you think of a worse way to kick off week two of the hearings? in all seriousness, the idea of going out to california, your political base where you're from, very left wing, and say i want to thank the resistance which has been trying to impeach this president literally from day one of his administration, maybe even before when he was president-elect and say hail to resistance, basically, let's get him off his golden throne. how could you even pretend that this is an honest search for truth. lisa: and to paint the picture of how the intel committee is typically nonpartisan, you're

dealing with classified information, really important regarding our national security. and to have the chairman speaking like this out in public is truly concerning, not to mention having talked about russian collusion without there really being that evidence there. because a lot of people determined and thought maybe he's got information that we're not privy to, the right in and then the mueller report comes out, and he just looks like he's been lying about it and shielding himself behind the mask of being is intel chairman. pete: you're totally right. the only mistake he just made is he told the truth in front of a crowd that is his base which reveals anything he does otherwise in washington, d.c. is a facade, it's a sham, it's a show. he's the conductor. he knows what they're going to say. he's already are written rules of the committee. and when republicans have had their shot, guys like jim jordan, to cross-examine these witnesses, we find out they don't know anything about it, they were not involved anytime, they acknowledge no crimes were

committed. time and time again the real reason we're there is revealed, but adam schiff, of course, does his best to gavel them down. one of the guys he can't keep quiet is representative jim jordan. this is what he said on saturday about these hearings. >> i think, frankly, things are going well for the president. you know, they've had three hearings, three witnesses with no firsthand knowledge. the facts, i say this all the time, but, you know, that's the thing about facts, they don't change. we have the call transcript, we have of the two individuals on the call, president trump, president zelensky e who said there was no linkage, no pressure, no pushing whatsoever and most importantly, of course, we have of the fact that they didn't do anything to be released. so they can keep having secrets, depositions down there in the basement of the capitol, but i think the american people see through this whole thing. ed: all fair points. jim jordan and the republicans have dismissed some of the

witnesses like bill taylor as people who were never trumpers -- pete: on policy. ed: they're going to have a harder case this week when you've got witnesses like jennifer williams who works inside the white house for vice president mike pence. she was listening in on the call and said, i want to make two points if, one, it was unusual and inappropriate, problematic for the president. but on the other hand, she and other witnesses still at least from what we know so far are not saying it's impeachable, they're not saying this is a high crime and misdemeanor. but i think for people who support the president to say nothing happened here and the call was perfect, they could still have some issues here. lisa: two points to that. one, jennifer williams' opinion, and you have people like tim morrison with a different opinion. secondly, the transcript has been released so the american people can determine if they think it was wrong, if they don't think it was wrong based on things they can read themselves. and further i think what is

important, we're talking about high crimes and misdemeanors when we're talking about impeach piments, right? nobody has established that to date. we even have people like yovanovitch, the former ambassador who says she doesn't think any illegal -- pete: not even close. what do you think this presidency is? he's done everything differently. ed: that is an opinion. pete: if you've been in washington, everyone's got one, and they think their opinion is right. [inaudible conversations] i know. they've all of these hearings have devolved down into like a policy discussion about what should we be doing in ukraine, because that's what this was about and acknowledging there everything has been corrupt and the president is not wrong to say how do we confront this corruption. it's so maul and embarrassing -- small and embarrassing, it's such a joke. ed: everybody's got an .on no, everybody also has an opinion on

colin kaepernick. given his stance to not stand for the anthem, to choose to kneel for his protest, he's been out of the nfl for almost three years now. he finally was going to get his big break -- pete: that's not the falcons stadium -- ed: about 60 miles or so from the facility, the nfl had put this all together, there were about 25 of the 32 nfl team it is ready to watch him. at the last minute he wants to bring his own camera crew, he doesn't want to sign the paperwork -- lisa: why did he switch the location? ed: he says he wants to bring his own crew and -- here's how he explained it because a lot of people wanted him to, okay, get on the field and play instead of the camera crews, the nike ads. here's how he explained it. >> i've been ready for three years, i've been denied for three years. we all know why. i came out here to show today everybody we have nothing to hide. so we're waiting for the 32

owners, the 32 teams, roger goodell, all of them to stop running. we're ready to play, ready to go anywhere. ball's in their court, we're ready to go. lisa: well, the nfl put out a statement and what they said is we are disappointed that colin did not appear for his workout. the nfl made considerable effort to work cooperatively with colin's representative. it has no effect on his discuss in the league, he remains an unrestricted free agent. pete, what do you have to say about in this. pete: nfl teams are in the business of winning football games. you evaluate is that player going to make my team better, and colin can clearly threw the football. he threw it to the wrong team, and that's part of the reason why he lost his job, but he also would bring a different culture to a locker room, right? do you really want that circus in your team when you're trying to win football games. and he had a chance to go into that stadium with 25 teams, they

were going to videotape it, no media because it was a private workout to. if he wants to audition for a job, they gave him a golden chance. ed: you're right x. he said ready to play. if you're ready to play, go where the nfl set the whole thing up. pete: then he shows up with a t-shirt on from "roots" which is clearly yet another political statement, so has he moved on from being an advocate or -- doesn't seem like it. lisa: let's hear from a panel of former nfl players that we had on earlier today. >> i've worked out for nfl teams, i've interviewed for jobs for people, but when i go to interview for a job, i don't set the rules. he can have is his own workouts on his own time, but to do this, i just don't agree with that approach if he really wants to play football. >> obviously, colin wants to come back and play again. he feels that the nfl hasn't done him right. i don't know necessarily this is the right move or not, but only time will tell. >> it's all a big p.r. stunt. if this guy really wanted to do something, he would actually get

any nfl team owner that signs kaepernick should be prepared to endure the consequences. pete: boy, isn't that the truth. ed: no doubt about it. pete: something they're thinking about. all right, we're going to turn to some more headlines. a shooting at a high school football game. [gunfire] [background sounds] pete: one charged with attempted murder, others facing weapons charges. one of the men who was shot will also be charged. a 10-year-old caught in the crossfire is in critical condition x a 15-year-old is okay after being grazed by a a bullet. good this. now to a fox news alert, president trump intervening on behalf of three u.s. service members either accused or convicted of so-called war crimes. the president issuing executive clemency and pardons to army officers math matthew goldstein and restoring the rank of eddie

gallagher. gallagher telling us earlier on the program the president's actions sent a clear message to the troops. >> he wants the instill confidence back into the war fighters of our community. he didn't want them second guessing themselves, and he wants them to know they have a president who has their back. pete: and tomorrow we have army first lieutenant clint lorenz joining us for his first interview after being released from leavenworth. huge crowd greeting him, he'll be on our program tomorrow morning. ed: all three of them exclusives. in the meantime, attorney general bill barr accusing democrats of trying to sabotage the trump administration. >> they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sub -- sabotage the functioning of the executive branch. ed: our next guest say he's

right. plus, kanye west take his sunday service to joel osteen's texas mega church today. more on his message of faith and hope coming up.

>> immediately after president trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called the resistance the, and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch and his administration. ed: well, the attorney general, bill barr, taking aim at the reus tap, accusing liberal lawmakers and activists of attacking the very foundations of our constitution. and our next guest agrees and warn withs this is setting a different precedent. constitutional law attorney jenna ellis is now an adviser to

the trump 2020 campaign. good morning, jenna. >> good morning, ed. thanks for having me. ed: what do you think about the attorney general pushing back on what has been seemingly a relentless attack? >> i think his comments were 100% correct, and let's remember that bill barr understands what the rule of law is in this country. he just has done such a phenomenal job as the attorney general, and taking this for a moment out of the political circus and the frenzy that the democrats are trying to whip up, let's go back to the u.s. constitution. ed, this boils down to two things, the left and the democrats absolutely hate president trump, and they absolutely hate america. and our rule of law and our constitution does not allow the democrats to simply use the tool of political impeachment for their own partisan gain. and so if we look at the constitution, if we understand the impeachment in context that the house has to actually follow the rule of law, they have to make sure that they are doing this not just because they want

to oust a sitting u.s. president, but they're doing this because there's actually a sufficient legal basis -- ed: well, pardon me one second, let's tie the two stories together then because you take me perfectly to adam schiff, the chairman of that committee that you're railing against right now, house intel. seems like he made a political mistake by leaving washington yesterday and flying out to california, his home base, to give that speech to the democratic convention out there, and he mentioned the resistance that bill barr was talking about and thanked the resistance. isn't it the resistance that has been trying to impeach this president and remove him from office from day one? >> oh, exactly. and for once in his life, adam schiff is telling the truth and saying this is about political a partisanship. by saying this is all about the resistance, they're actually resisting america and the u.s. constitution. the he is showing that this has just been a political game since before president trump even got into office. they tried to remove him even

before he was sworn into office, and then they've been trying through the mueller report for over two and a half years, and because that didn't work now they're coming up with some crazy scheme where the witnesses, if you actually look at the testimony last week, they don't know anything. they weren't even firsthand witnesses. so this isn't something that is genuinely of concern of the president's conduct. what's happening is that the democrats are attacking, violently attacking the u.s. constitution and attacking president trump outside of the context of the constitution. alexander hamilton in federalist 65 warned against this and said that if we give political power to the house, that majority can simply override a sitting president merely because they are political -- ed: okay. democrats say at least that this week delivering jennifer williams and other white house aides to vice president pence who will talk about the president's can conduct, we'll see if they follow through. jenna ellis, we appreciate you coming in with your insight. >> thanks so much, ed.

day, amazing. and drone video captures the moment a massive whale swims up on a group of surfers in southern california. you see it right there near the banner. the whale somehow managed to zigzag through the surfers without touching any of them. some people on twitter have noted, well, you can tell the difference between a whale and a shark. not in that moment, i can't. ed: i raised that question, how do you know that quickly? lisa: i don't know, i would be freak out. after of watching that, we're also watching this as well because kanye west, we talked about this earlier on the show, he continues to bring his sunday is service across the country. ed: it's having a real impact. today he's slated to perform at joel to steven's mega church -- osteen's mega church. pete: here with more is lauren green outside the church. lauren, thank you so much for being with us this morning. what are folks going to expect?

what are we going to see? >> reporter: i just have to start this on a personal note because never, as a classically trained musician and the study of theology, did i ever think my path would cross with kanye west. [laughter] totally, totally out of the box. but here i am at lakewood church, it is the largest christian congregation in the nation, 45,000 strong, this is joel osteen's megachurch, he's a megastar, and another megastar, kanye west, is bringing this story of faith and hope. this is a very interesting kind of phenomenon, because if you talk to people in christian circles, they are a little bit uneasy. they're not sure if kanye's faith is insere, and one of the reasons they're not sure is they worry about this culture of celebrity worship. is this about kanye or is this about christ x. one of the things they mentioned is it's really about the message, not the messenger, so they're hoping this is really true. as you say, he's going to

perform his sunday service tonight. this is a thing he's been doing all across the country the last few months x it's really about his new album which is "jesus is king." he has said he will no longer do secular musics no rap that is not in promoting christianity. and this is a total departure from what people have known him do before which is grab that hat with the language, explicit sexuality, coarse language. this is all why so many people are suspect of his true faith. but he is making real change, and that's what people are paying attention to. the american bible society noticed there was an uptick in googling of kanye, of jesus, of christian values, and so they made a thousand bibles available to kanye fans. and to date, they have now given away more than 10,000 bibles to kanye's fans. so he's affecting incredible change. lisa: and i think most people believe that no one is beyond

redemption. we see there in the photos that people just saw kanye west was also at a prison, i believe in houston, recently. conducting a service for them as well. >> reporter: oh, absolutely. he was at the harris county prison in houston, texas, here, and he brought his music, his study services to the inmates there. and the sheriff tweeted that, you know, this is a mission. this is not a show. he understood what kanye was doing, and it really is about -- one of the things i looked up which was a scripture of matthew 25, and it said you clothed me, i was sick. you looked after me. i was in prison, and you came to visit me. so he is trying to live out christian values and christian scripture. and so many in the community are saying, you know, it seems real, but we hope that people will actually, you know, keep praying for him or supporting him so that he's not alone in his walk.

ed: he may have a real impact. by the way, i've heard lauren green play the piano, and she's magnificent, very humble about it. pete: lauren, thank you very much. can't wait to see that service today. all right. well, red carpet treatment for people who truly deserve it. i got to catch up with some of america's bravest in a special sell ration for vets. that -- celebration for vets. that story coming up next. ♪
