fear towards the dog. well that's how people are. they lied to you. in 344 days to get to fix all that. we will never be that media mob and will always pursue the truth. let not your heart be troubled, and don't forget to set your dvr for the show because laura ingraham is up next. >> laura: hannity it is not surprising in the slightest that they took a sweet little story about this amazing canine and turned it into an attack on trump. these are the most unhappy bitter people on the face of the planet. the rest of the country is doing really well. liberals are on a really negative trade train ride right now. >> laura: i would actually give the dog a metal but maybe unjust old-fashioned. >> or a milk-bone. >> do you have a fluff ball dog? >> sean: no mind weighs 116 pounds. >> laura: at the other dog you had was really cute, like

cotton ball. >> sean: i have a bernese mountain dog, its use. huge. >> laura: but you when walked that other dog it was so cute. >> sean: i never walked that dog i just said to come and go out and come back when you're ready. >> laura: i love all dogs. have the democrats already lost the impeachment fight? and moments my ankle will provide key answers. then we have dershowitz, congressman lee zeldin and they will react. and it was quickly through discovering and dinesh this is that explains party of obama is officially dead. also tonight antipolice protesters, this is particularly disgusting. they launched a vicious attack on new york's finest even comparing them to the kkk. brady kerrick is here with the fiery response. in hollywood a-lister jon voight joins us in an exclusive. he tells raymond arroyo about

receiving the national medal of the arts and what he thinks of the impeachment battle. stay for that later on in the show. but first, lessons learned, or not. that's the focus of tonight's angle. first, a message to the democrats. i tried to warn you that i if yu allowed leftist radicals to become the face and brain trust of your party, -- after nothing but impeachment talk, democrats are seeing headlight headlines s even liberal "vanity fair." it's hard to read this as anything but a warning. the democrats impeachment push could alienate key voters, oops. remember, long before they ever heard of wilensky or a vindman. >> they are continually -- we

can either continue to enable this president and report on the vial of garbage that came out of his mouth, or we could hold them accountable to his crime. >> laura: they are not looking out for what is in the best interest of the united states, they often don't know or don't want to know either of the relevant law or facts on important issues from immigration to now impeachment. if it raises your profile, you don't give a flip whether what they are advocating is good for the country let alone good for the party. from the moment they were sworn into office, aoc plus three have enjoyed being showered with accolades and appearances on late night tv. fencing themselves as trump slayers, they have dined out on far left policies and nonstop advocacy for impeachment. despite pelosi's earlier words

of caution. >> if and when the time comes for it impeachment, it will have to be something that such a crescendo in such a bipartisan way. >> laura: remember that? the cool kids on the democrat walk rejected that out of hand. they got hungry for impeachment person adam schiff. eventually the speaker relented. the democrats committed themselves to this convoluted idea of impeaching a president about withholding aid to the ukraine, aided that the ukraine would eventually receive. and, we establish the abuse of power. >> the ones the american people have affirmed from, there is something wrong with the

president asking for a political favor. >> i think the american people have had a good week and i think truth has had a good week end patriotism has had a good week. and i think the constitution is not a good week. >> when the hearing went from secret to public american views started shifting toward the president, especially among independent voters in those all-important battleground states. how many people think the impeachment process will hurt president trump? >> i think it's a sham. and i read the document and, fair-minded people of foreign policy and national security officials, not as evidence of impeachable conduct but as of policy disagreement with the president.

trump ran on the idea that we were going to reorient some of our foreign relationships including even with russia. and that's perhaps against china which is our biggest threat. remember billions of dollars of foreign aid were also on the line with trump's new approach. most people in washington are doing their jobs. but, there are some rogue actors in the intel community and in the geopolitical space who refuse to do their job. and, they considered it a noble calling. the voters however are a lot more skeptical, especially with the election less than a year away and a booming economy.

that's democratic impeachment, and an emerson poll reveals that more americans are opposed now to impeachment. this is all happening as trump has a 52% approval of its handling of the economy. 95% approval among republicans. and it now allowing themselves to be corralled with their radical fringe, more mainstream democrats are beginning to feel the heat, especially in the swing districts. and of brutal vicious case of buyer's remorse is affecting the party, or that now some are urging them to drop the impeachment vote altogether in favor of the milder censure? >> do you think president trump should be impeached? >> i wanted to discuss this with my constituents and my colleagues before we make the final determination.

and i don't want to give advice to the democrats and they have to find them backbone to take on the squad. they are both angry and very energetic. that would take real guts. in the process they try to placate the left with radical policy proposals. that of course leaves trump a free lane to run on results.

revenge? and that's the angle. later on, for think he is for four people. hint, schiff will vehemently disagree. joining us now, alan dershowitz, harvard law professor emeritus and author of the new book "guilt by accusation" and congressman lee is salesman. lots of stuff to get to for both of you. alan, after these two weeks could democrats really move to drop their impeachment crusade given what we are seeing in some of these pretty key public opinion surveys? >> it violates the constitution, and congress seems to forget that they are not above the law either. they can't make it up as they go along and they haven't found any offenses as defined by the constitution that would authorize impeachment. so if they are smart, they would

marginalize those who were trying to impeach, bring the center back and say, let's move on to health fair and other issues that would affect americans. let's put impeachment aside. will they do that? i don't know. i don't know how much pressure they will get from the squad and others demanding impeachment but if they are sensible they will move away from that because it's a gift to the republicans and a gift to president trump. >> laura: congressman, adam schiff is still trying to give it the old college try. i want your reaction to something he set over the weekend, watch. >> the public support for the impeachment has grown dramatically in the last few months so whether it is now essentially at a plateau or whether it will continue to grow or shrink, i don't think it's really the question we should be asking. >> laura: we have seen the exact opposite trend over the

past three or three and a half weeks, even over democrats losing interest. >> and imagination has grown. he certainly wants to be able to sell this fairy tale he wanted to be a screenwriter, and he is relying on second, third, and fourth hand hearsay and covering this over the course of the last couple months. the facts aren't on his side but he's desperate to sell this and if his mind wasn't made up, give me a break. i think he really wants to go forward with impeachment, and what's really interesting going forward if president means anything, ken starr as the independent counsel during the clinton impeachment presented his report under oath. but let's see how much adam schiff believes in the report he's about to turn in about a week from now. will you be able to show up at

the house judiciary committee under oath and answer questions? will he face cross-examination not just from republicans but also from the president's council? let's see if the prosecutor, the judge and the jury can answer those tough questions. i don't know if the democrats at this point can rollback from impeachment because -- >> laura: let me say this, the squad is going to go totally nuts on this one. they are not going to be satisfied with the censure. but they could say we appreciate you all, but we have to do this for the good of the party in the country. hold on, i have to get to some breaking news. very important. earlier tonight, obama appointed federal judge cut tonja brown jackson has ruled that former white house counsel da don mcgao

comply with the white house subpoena. it's also should be noted that our competitors were loves to admit tonight that if upheld at the d.c. court of appeals, he could show up at congress and ask as many questions as he wanted. your response to the hyperbolic reaction to this, one federal district court judge in d.c. on this question of mcgann? >> the big winner is over. because he will have to get into his car and go over to the capital, the judge went out of her way to say i'm not ruling on the issues of privilege and all he has to say is i will show up. the president has the power that

kings have never had it. he's a very powerful walk office and the framers wanted at that way. very strict criteria it to be met. we don't live in a parliamentary democracy. it's no big impact and then he can invoke the privilege. the court distinguishes this issue from the very question that the high-level presidential aide may be asked to provide in the context of some such questioning can be held from the committee on the basis of volatility. so it only goes to the specific question of whether he must physically present himself. and congressman zeldin, contrary

tto the measured analysis of dershowitz, this is what neil keitel said on msnbc who was solicitor general for a short period of time. >> these arguments are so silly that i don't think the supreme court is likely to take them in the end. barr has said that something that no responsible constitutional scholar in our history has ever adopted. it's king george the third plus, which is basically what he is advocating for. these kinds of views are written in cran, not any sort of analytically sophisticated or accurate way. >> laura: congressma congressmar versus -- they were relying on that general ren janet reno precedent. >> ms as i'm listening to that there's only one alan dershowitz. i wish there were more being able to weigh on that on the

issue, it's obvious lee going to be appealed to come up that ruling. it was an expected ruling for the ruling had even come out and you can guess that this is where it was going to go. and two executive privilege, i can tell you during the closed-door depositions that took place this was one of the problems with not allowing the white house council present in the room. if someone was going to ask a question of one of these witnesses being deposed about a conversation with the president of the united states, there was no one in the room to exert executive privilege. if that witness -- >> that's an interesting point. it is not something that struck you as well? why didn't the white house counsel get to go to those closed-door sessions? >> absolutely. that goes to the president and the presidency. mcgann has no right to answer questions at the president invokes the privilege, then it has to go to court. then, there has to be a determination of whether -- and this was the way the case would

be decided. the decision would be split and they would have to go over and make an appearance but they would have to question by question determine whether the privilege applies and, it's a white house counsel of has to invoke the privilege. >> laura: they are going to show boat in front of the camera and that will be there celebratory moment. fantastic analysis and thank you to both of you tonight. during the chaos of a 24-hour cable news cycle it's pretty easy to forget that house republicans over the last few weeks stood up to the democrats and confronted that dems and media cronies who have been pushing the entire impeachment a scam on the public. i try to hold both sides accountable but now that we have seen things in their entirety as they have shaken out, i think we should take the time to point out for members of congress who absolutely tonight deserves

special recognition. first up, congressman mike turner. >> no one on this planet told you that president trump was tying aid to investigations. yes or no? >> yes. >> you really have no testimony today that ties president trump to a scheme that to withhold aid from the ukraine in exchange for these investigations? >> other than my own presumption. >> with which is nothing. >> i think that could have been my favorite line but that was a month the whole quid pro quo narrative came crashing down. second, there was a congresswoman who adam schiff could not silence. breakout g.o.p. star congresswoman elise stefanik. >> ambassador yovanovitch, i want to thank you for being here today -- >> congresswoman suspended, you are not recognized. >> this is the fifth time you have interrupted. >> laura: she just kept going,

it was terrific. the third person who should become graduated and specially recognized, house intel ranking member devin nunes who has been out at this for some time and he perhaps sums it all out. here's what the impeachment sham is all about. >> what you've seen in the last two weeks is a show trial. the verdict was decided before the trial ever began. when the russian dossiers and investigations failed to do the job, they moved the plan b. minority are in the dark about what this committee will be doing when we return. and so is america. >> laura: i loved it, great sum up. and finally congressman jim jordan deserves thanks for his tireless efforts to debunk the democrat narrative. >> you'd not only didn't go to her boss, he went straight to the lawyer and the lawyer told you not to go to your boss?

and it was an extremely busy week. and he won't tell us who he is. >> laura: jim jordan, the entire group, they weren't cowed or bowed, they made their case to simply pointedly, and without fear. it's not easy to do this day in and day out and republicans i think are finally learning from trump, don't stop punching back. and they can also turn out to discredit most of what the democrats have tried to argue. they succeeded in the political case from the beginning and the star witness had policy differences from donald trump.

they remain intact because of their efforts. so this thanksgiving week we are thankful for all of them. coming up, why is joe biden having so many problems with the latino voters now? and what does that have to do with barack obama? mercedes schlapp and dinesh desousa on the woke backlash that you won't believe. back in just a moment.

>> people were deported and separated from their family. >> you should vote for trump. >> if you have the power, and i want to hear you say that. >> i will not stop all deportations.

>> he is such a squish. only if you commit a crime, everyone else can stay. but that's not the only problem biden is facing, the woman in charge of his latina outreach, her name isn't vanessa cardenas, reportedly quit in frustration. threason she stated, biden lackd compassion when talking about immigration. he would only deport criminal aliens or felons to make it specific and that went too far. joining me now, mercedes schlapp, the 20 campaign dinesh desousa. former president obama just told his party to ditch the old purity test. so what's going on here?

>> obama on the left was tethered to reality and, there's one thing to say that you have people who are aliens that are clearly breaking the law. but there's a special category of lawbreaker, and this is the guide that is the drug dealer or murder or. and it to say that that guy should not be deported would be political lunacy. so obama never went there. the fact that we didn't have a democratic party taking this kind of stance considering the deportation, and this gives you an idea of how this has become unhinged from reality. >> i see this quite often, trump has been like an astringent across the political skin of the

country. you kind of see where everybody is -- they are real faces and their real sensibility. and now we know. the democrat said for years, we are for border enforcement but we are actually not. they are not for border enforcement and everyone comes and gets to stay, even aliens who commit crimes, they get to stay. that's the truth. and that's what they believe. >> not only that but they have done nothing to get through and pass common sense immigration reform that would include securing the border and really, it is because they are so tied to that liberal base of open borders of demonizing our i.c.e. officers and what they have to realize is that they are the ones that basically harassed ms-13 numbers and many who end

up killing taking lives, those criminal aliens should not even -- they should absolutely be deported. so i think that you have found a party, and they don't help those immigration officers do their job. but they don't care. >> it's a moral crusade. the latinos, i was just on an event with latinos for trump with 500 latinos and they want secure borders. they want to make sure that they don't have these criminal aliens in their communities. >> laura: there was another moment for biden that was tricky to say the least. he apparently has a list of potential vp mix, but then he struggles a bit. watch. >> i could start naming people but the press would think that's

who i picked. but there's an incredible number of people. the former assistant attorney general that got fired, and that would be good. >> i mean the pandering project doesn't seem very sincere, god bless them. but he doesn't even know their names. and so -- >> and he doesn't who they are. i think when this started, it really looked like these were "gaps. i think now we are dealing with something beyond that. reagan had alzheimer's but that was after the presidency. i think with biden now we have such a pattern of stumbling and bumbling that i think democrats have to ask, is this guy even capable of operating at the highest level and with the

pressures of the presidency? >> laura: i think we should be careful dinesh unless you've gotten your medical degree in the last appearance to make a dementia diagnosis. but i think as people age it will happen to all of us, you are not as quick. that's life. you are not as quick. mercedes, that's a tough deal for the democrats and they need him to appeal in the south and in some of those battleground states and he is struggling. big time. >> no kidding. winning iowa and winning new hampshire, normally -- >> and that's pete buttigieg or bloomberg. and in moments, we explore what america would look like under democratic rule. and anti-cop protests over the weekend, did you see any of this? it's just a little, little window when the left takes

control. bernie kerik is here with a warning, next.

>> the mta is doing 500 additional. that has been a dramatic increase in crime. felonies are up, assaults are up and robberies are up. i have been talking about this for years. we are spending $50 billion to improve the subway system and if it's not safe people won't use it. >> laura: that team announcement to crackdown on subway, and that was a taste that just went down. >> this is only the latest in the string of antipolice action

starting with videos of hoodlums dumping water on the officer so i viral the summer. with me now is bernie kerik. did you ever think that you would ever see people behaving that way over a very mild plan to make the subway, but necessary plan to make the subway safer? >> laura, listen. these people are anarchists. what's interesting to me and what i really would like to know, who pays them? who puts the money behind these protests, whether it's these protests were the ones the subway earlier this month where they were protesting the police and arresting someone that did something without a permit? these are laws on the books and laws that should be enforced, the governor is right, there is a major spike in crime in the subway system and best transit system and if there is, they need more police to deal with

it. what's going on here is completely insane. these people are anti-cop, anti-law and order. but i will say one thing, anybody that has watch these protests, watch these kids, they have to jump the turnstiles because, -- oh, they are vaping. and i guess that's all free. >> it's completely ridiculous. >> so this is a window into what life is like under democratic rule. chaos, no respect for law and order. and i used to ride the subway but i won't read the subway now. now it's like people don't want to read the subway. >> this goes back, and when i see this i think of the david dickens days.

i think of the days when there were 2400 homicides in new york city, when mothers were putting their babies in bathtubs to protect them from random gunfire. when you see videos like this, that should scare every american, every new yorker, everybody that comes to visit, live and work, go to school in new york city. and if the mayor doesn't clean it up it's only going to get worse. >> laura: well de blasio was running for president to come up too busy to do anything else. so you know, it's pretty easy to track who is paying for all this, whether it's foundation or something going on. and if we had actual reporters and some of these local newspapers that would be interested, they might find out some fascinating facts about who is behind it all. thank you for all you are doing

and all you are saying, not just for new york but across the country. also coming up, president trump gets a lot of flack for not finishing what was perhaps the signature campaign promise, the border wall. there was some kind of structure but nothing that was going to keep people out. despite that, they will be able to accomplish a heck of a lot. the president's groundbreaking deal with salvador and honduras have helped reduce border arrest 73% from their peak in may. and that's not all, trump has put up a bureaucratic wall. now, denials for h1b visas have doubled in the last two years which has helped wages stay up in the united states. wait times for citizenship doubled and the average processing time for all kinds of visas. so what's the result? the u.s. admitted 70% fewer immigrants than the year before. the biggest declines were among

people from latin america and asia according to the brookings institution and of course, they bemoan that fact unless you think it's about the southern border trump immigration policies which have also blunted communist china. they have curbed the number of chinese students allowed at colleges and university. and despite all the progress of the border, america still saw an increase of all hard and narcotics in fiscal year 2019. they produce it faster and cheaper with higher purity. joining us now, the market. we the success of the border, this is still a burgeoning drug trade. a friend of mine said to me, we tried a lot of different things.

and they are producing it and it's being smuggled in and being purchased and killing people. both the humanitarian crisis and the national security crisis. we were spot on. every town, city and state in this country as a border town city and state. if you have a math problem anywhere in the united states, it came from the southwest border from those super labs that we describe. and he's always telling me stories. it's heartbreaking, you just want to ball crying. like a mother to would hurt her own child because she thought her child with something else. calving complete delusions because she's a meth addict. fentanyl coming from china, and yet we are treating china, oh,

we can work with china. they are killing our people with their drugs as well. >> 68,000 lost their lives to drug overdoses. 68,000, every american. they should be an alarming statistic. so we talk about for example the border wall. the border wall is not just to address illegal immigration, it's to stop bad people and bad things from coming in. and laura, that's just what we caught. and that will make every town and city in the country. >> when you're dealing like -- that's in large part in narco state. what do we do? i'm just asking you because i find this to be so disturbing on so many levels. no one seems to have an answer.

>> it's definitely challenging but we've been in discussions with the white house. right now, we are looking at this as the same thing, same approach as we do counterterrorism. not just domestic law enforcement as well but we need to come together with the same ferocity and same intensity and same commitment that we have tackled counterterrorism in this country. that's how we will make the debt to go after the hotels. >> laura: i have to get your thoughts also want to really disturbing thanks ray counties right on our doorstep here. and we had to six illegal immigrants charged with serious felonies. as a list of the suspects. charges included assault, child abuse and first-degree murder. federal agencies name and shame these localities, anyone who is killed, or abused by these illegal aliens, they are just acceptable collateral damage for the great promise of open

borders. >> this is -- let's forget about the politicians. let's go to the average and american sit in and let's get to them because i have to believe that when we are talking about another law enforcement agency that has the murder, commit murder in their custody, and we are not going to work with ice -- >> laura: montgomery county maryland. all these counties that push the sinks are a policy, there's blood on their hands. if there is blood on their han hands. >> as a law-enforcement officer for a long time i can take the city is much less safe because of it. >> laura: thanks so much. coming up, receiving the national medal of arts, actor jon voight weighs in on a heck of a lot including the impeachment inquiry with raymond arroyo, coming up next. i'm finding it hard to stay on top of things

be two john captures the imagination of the audiences and dominates every single scene. jon voight, you are an amazing artist and a beloved icon of the american film. congratulations on receiving the national medal of arts, that's a tremendous, tremendous achievement. and you deserve it. >> laura: actor jon voight received the national medal of arts and days later the hollywood a list or sits down with raymond arroyo to discuss what receiving the distinguished award means to him. his support for trump and his thoughts on the impeachment si side. >> what did you think of that moment? this is the highest metal and award that the united states government bestows.

he i'm very humbled by the whole thing. look at the grace with which he presented my name. it was wonderful to be with allison and, to have that wonderful host. he is a wonderful host. >> and that kind of situation, you don't know if you standing in the right place. he makes everybody comfortable. >> now there was a moment where it felt like a living room, where the music from midnight cowboy played and this happened. why did you jump up like this? what happened there? you were inspired, you were going with it.

i thought "dancing with the stars" was auditioning, you were gone. [laughs] >> i was doing it because -- he's playful. so i was warned that, you can never tell what he will do so just go with it, whatever it was. and when he started playing the music, and i don't know how many people identified that, but when it played it, it played for some length before i got up. i don't do it right away but i thought, i better do something because -- >> they are all looking at you! >> so i got up and i didn't know what i was going to do. but then i just tipped it a little bit by doing a little playful something. >> evoking the character of joe buckle that we will talk about later. >> then i sat down and -- you know, to embrace it.

certainly it showed that i don't take myself that seriously. >> when you see bobby dinero coming out and telling the president to go blank himself or madonna saying that she has fantasies of blowing up the white house, you think what? >> well, i think -- you know back in the 60s, i was not that extreme. but i was attended toward that thought, that kind of thinking which was nice to be a revolutionary iconic class when you are a young person. you do something and you don't know, you don't look at the real result of all of this. this useful energy, and arrogance. but i have been there. so when i hear them those two

that you mentioned and others, i know -- and in this lifetime perhaps they will come to an understanding. but that's wrong. >> what do you think of this impeachment inquiry? >> it's a lie, as i have said to. the culmination of the commitment to take down this president. >> but as a performer, how is the audience receiving all of this? >> you know what i think? i think it's a way of exposing the truth. here, we have these people in bad behavior. i look at the statement of nancy pelosi and i look at thi this -- adam schiff, and i say it's pretty clear, these people are not well. the audience is seeing the bottom line, just as we have

seen the bottom line with these debates. one ridiculous statement after another, and that is who the democratic party is. and they are getting the view of that. >> laura: raymond will have more of his interview with john voight when he gets host for me on wednesday so don't miss it. up next, and , and isa sympathir arrested and charged for plotting what would have been a shocking and brutal attack. in moments. ings i love to do. ings i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

♪ >> laura: shocking news from florida tonight. federal prosecutors charged a man who calls himself the next rightful caliph with plotting to bomb the miami dean colleges. the 22-year-old allegedly asked a confidential fbi informant to get isis to take advantage of the colleges from which he was expelled. on top of that, the facebook

page is full complaints against jews and moderate muslims. establishing islamic law. the fbi's criminal complaint letter that he showed a growing hate of non-muslims and secular muslims, if he is convicted, he is in jail for up to 20 years. that's all the time we have tonight. shannon bream and the fantastic "fox news @ night" team have all their breaking developments from here. shannon? >> shannon: busy monday, laura. thank you so much. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. we begin with a fox news alert. tonight, two critical for president trump, both with implications for the democrats in basement push. one house democrat saying there is no value in removing the president now. first up, the federal judge ruling the former top lawyer at the white house must show up after being subpoenaed by house democrats. there is a whole lot more to that ruling, and is already being challenged. i will explain. plus, the supreme court
