♪ >> well, it's turning out to be a big weekend for president trump fresh off a secret trip to afghanistan for thanksgiving, the president woke up in palm beach today to some good news. black friday shopping smashed all kinds of records, and stocks in november notched their best month since june. we'll have a live report on what may be the president's biggest strength heading into 2020. as, meanwhile, the democratic field struggles. kamala harris, once a rising star, unraveling. elizabeth warren, who was the front-runner in some states, free falling. we've been covering some old tape of michael bloomberg actually saying he wants to raise taxes on the poor, so he's

explaining, while joe biden has hitting roadblocks, so he's doing some bus riding through iowa with the no malarkey tour. we'll have a panel debate it. good afternoon, this is "america's news headquarters" with ed henry. democrats are edging closer to impeachment. jerry nadler just issued a new deadline saying he needs to know if the president will wage an official defense by friday. here's what's really going on. nadler is trying to force the president's hand by mid december so that democrats can potentially vote on articles of impeachment by christmas even though the nonpartisan legal analyst jonathan turley just wrote an op-ed in the "wall street journal" calling this, quote, the shortest investigation producing the thinnest record of wrongdoing for the narrowest impeachment in history. a former watergate prosecutor joins me live to break it down in a few minutes. we begin with breaking news in london. just moments ago we learned that

more people were injured in that terror attack than we first learned. we're also learning new information on the suspect. he was an islamist terrorist, and police say he spent six years in prison on terror charges before he was released last year. he is accused of stabbing several people near the london bridge killing two and now, we're told, injuring five others, not three as we first were told. this happens four days before the president visits london. doug mckelway on the terror threat from washington, but we begin in london with kitty logan who has details. good afternoon, kitty. >> reporter: that's. that's right. they have confirmed that the two people who died in this attack were a man and woman, both attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitation close by to london bridge. and as you say, five others were injured. police also saying when the attacker went on the rampage, he was armed with two large knives,

and we now know that he was wearing a suicide vest which turned out to be fake. now, he began stabbing people at this conference but ended up on the bridge where he was very quickly confronted by several brave members of the public. they wrestled him to the ground. police then arrived on the scene within minutes, dragged the passers-by out of harm's way and shot the attacker dead on the spot. now, police have named this attacker as 28-year-old-year-old khan, he's a known extremist who spent time in prison for planning to bomb the london stock exchange. his early release has raised many questions here. already today prime minister boris johnson has said it was a mistake to allow violent criminals of his nature out of prison early. now, mr. johnson was speaking as he visited to the scene of the attack along 500 police chiefs and incidentally briefly suspended after this attack. now meanwhile, police are

searching the suspect's home as part of their ongoing investigation trying to establish how this convicted terrorist was allowed to strike so easily in the heart of the city of london. but meanwhile, london bridge is still closed off while police gather evidence there. they say so far they have no reason to believe anyone else was involved in plotting this particular take, but they do reassure the public and say that there will be extra police patrols out on the streets of london this weekend. ed? ed: kitty, thank you. for more on the suspect and the battle on the homefront here in america, my friend doug mckelway continues our team coverage in washington. good afternoon, doug. >> reporter: afternoon, e.. the terrorist is a reminder that the tentacles of extremist and radicalization are still present and persistent. the 28-year-old, a british citizen whose family came from pakistan-controlled kashmir, was

radicalized in part through internet propaganda which remains a key tool for radicalization. >> yeah. it could happen anywhere at any time, which is why we have to be eternally vigilant from the commander in chief all the way down to everyday citizens. >> we can never avoid 100% of them, but the kind of defense that this president has put in place, unlike his predecessor who was, frankly, inviting people in -- and that's not something president trump has ever been willing to tolerate from the very beginning of taking his oath of office. >> reporter: president trump told american troops in afghanistan on thanksgiving that the u.s. has hundreds of terrorist prisoners in custody who are citizens of european countries. >> we'd like europe to take those prisoners. many come from france, many come from germany, they come from different countries in europe. they have not stepped up to the plate. that's not good. >> reporter: there's also concern though that such a move would backfire.

europe has often been more lenient with such prisoners, khan just one case. he was released only halfway through that terrorism sentence before he embarked on that stabbing spree. ed? ed: doug mckelway, appreciate that. let's bring in danny coulson, former fbi assistant director. we appreciate you coming in today, danny. >> thank you. ed: what is your immediate reaction, especially now we're hearing more people than we originally were told were injured. thankfully, the death toll has not risen, but this just blatant attack happening in the streets of london. >> yeah, there's a good message here. when you get one of these guys, you capture 'em and you put 'em in jail, keep them there. there's no rehabilitation for these types of individuals. they show no remorse for what they've done. they appear to be rehabilitated and they'll give you a wink and a nod, and they'll go out and start killing people again. fortunately, we had concerned citizens at that conference that he was attending that stopped

him, and they -- the response from the police department was outstanding. so that, this could have been much worse than it was. the guy was very dedicated and well armed, and it could have been a lot worse. let's keep these guys in jail. ed: well, to your point, you lead me perfectly to my follow-up which is going to be about that conference. he was a attending, as you say, a conference on prison rehabilitation, was supposed to be held up this islamic terrorist as some sort of a model for other people to follow. and instead east in the middle of -- either in the middle of or at the end he kills two people, injures others. you see the terrorist right there. what kind of message does that send? >> the message it sends is we can't rehabilitate these people. these guys kill more muslims than christians and jews.

they have hatred in them that is instilled to a lot of factors. the internet's a huge one. they get radicalized and go out and commit these atrocities. it's easy to do. grab yourself a knife, go to a crowded place and start stabbing people. i don't mean to minimize that or of netherland, authorities saying so far they're not seeing a terrorist nexus, so that may just be, you know, some outlandish outburst of violence where several children, as i understand it, in the earth inlands were hurt. -- netherland. talk about concerns you may have about the american homefront as well as europe. >> oh, my goodness, we have no way of predicting these things. if they're part of an organized group and we have penetrated that that group, then we've got a shot. but these -- comey, james comey

used to call them lone rats. i hate to quote james comey, but he was right. they're just rats. they're looking to hurt people. they show absolutely no mercy, no remorse, and we can't change them. the only thing we can do with them is keep them in jail, and we have to rethink about letting these guys out. they may smile at you at the same time they're thinking about killing you, so that's something we always have to keep in mind. ed: isis claiming credit for this attack just a few weeks after president trump and the military scored this major victory in taking out isis' leader,ral bag a daddy. --al a baghdadi. at the time, i remember analysts like yourself reminding all of us when osama bin laden was taken out by president obama and the u.s. military, it was a great victory, but just taking out the head of the organization doesn't mean the terror group is finished. what kind of rem minutes of isis are out there? >> a lot. one thing to remember is when you take out a leader, you

create a promotional opportunity for somebody down the chain of command. that's all it does. it's important to do it, but there's so much hatred in this group, and they're all over the world and they are radicalized by a lot of different things, their religion for one thing, and the internet by another. and we just have to be constantly vigilant. remember, we're responsible for our own safety. police are only minutes away, but seconds matter. and the response of the people in london was outstanding. we have to remember your responsibility, you are responsible for your own security. and be careful, be careful out there. ed: yeah. and to your point, i've got less than a minute, but the front page of "the new york post"ed today, everyday heroes. and you can check it out online. one gentleman grabbed the knife, and there was another person who disarmed the terrorist with a fire extinguisher as well. as you say, everyday heroes who have to be alert and help law enforcement diffuse these situations. >> we're all in this together.

we need our police officers, they're valiant, they protect us, but we're responsible to, and we have to take care of each other. there are people out there who mean harm for us, and it's up to us to take our own action and protect ourselves. ed: danny coulson, appreciate your insights. >> thank you. ed: meanwhile, the search is underway for the person accused of stabbing three teenagers in a popular shopping district in the netherlands. this happened just a few hours after the london attack in the coastal city of the hague. authorities say the victims were rushed to the hospital but have since been released, thankfully. no word yet on the motive and, as i mentioned, the authorities are saying they do not yet see any kind of nexus with terror. all right. back in washington democrats are gearing up for a new round of impeachment hearings. this time it's the house judicial panel. the chairman, jerry nadler, sending a letter to the white house asking if the president or his counsel plans to attend this

hearing wednesday or subsequent hearings after that. nadler giving the president a deadline of friday to decide if he wants to participate, but if the white house wants to send, you know, if the white house wants to actually send a lawyer. joining me now is john sale, former assistant special watergate pressure, a former special assistant to the attorney general. john, good to have you today. >> hi, ed. ed: what is your sense about what the president should do in terms of sending an attorney and trying to have his own witnesses called? the house republicans tried to do that with the intel committee, they got shot down by adam schiff. should this president mount an official defense inside the judiciary committee or just do it outside on twitter and elsewhere? >> i think he should not. i think he should not legitimize this so-called inquiry. they've already said they are planning to impeach the president by christmas. two and a half weeks? i mean, i agree with professor turley. what on earth is the rush? you know, who's going to be the winner wednesday when these

experts testify on what are impeachable defenses? everybody is going to switch the channels. it is going to be boring. ed: and we saw some of that happen, obviously, with round one to all this before the house intelligence committee. you mentioned jonathan turley. this op-ed that he wrote over thanksgiving, some people may have missed it in the first term, but he was saying this was the thinnest record of wrongdoing. he didn't agree with everything that happened, but the idea, jon -- according to professor turley -- that this rises to an impeachable offense, he says, is ridiculous. >> abuse of power. it's really in the eyes of the beholder. it's sort of like when the question about anticame before the supreme court -- sanity came before the supreme court. it's the problem i have is what on earth is the rush, as i said earlier. in watergate we had over a year of hearings, and the trick there -- the reason it was legitimate, it was bipartisan.

and, you know, some of the witnesses like dr. hill and ms. williams, they said the president's call was inappropriate, it was improper. those are not impeachable. ed: right. >> james madison said you do not impeach a president for what he called maladministration. they've already decided what they're doing. ed: sure. and when a lot of witnesses were asked under oath whether they saw the law broken, whether they saw an impeachable offense, they either dodged it or said, no, i did not see a law broken. >> believe it or not, the watergate impeachment inquiry was approved by a a vote of 410-4. can you imagine that today? ed: i can't. >> it was bipartisan. ed: so let's hold both sides accountable though. on one hand, nancy pelosi told us months ago that she would not move forward on impeachment, jon, unless there was bipartisan consensus, as you say. she clearly doesn't have it. on the other hand, have you seen republicans willing to have an open mind in these hearings? >> absolutely not, which is

exactly why when it gets to the senate, the president will be acquitted and then the president will campaign not only on the economy, but point out that it was a horrible witch hunt, and he was exonerated. so what i think they should do -- not politically, but i think why doesn't the house just censure the president like happened with andrew jackson and move on? ed: that's something that's been talk about, and they haven't taken it seriously yet. we'll see. a couple of things i want to clear up. on jerry nadler's letter, he has a deadline of tomorrow, sunday, as to whether he's going to send his -- whether he's going to come before the committee, but then i believe it's friday as to whether he's going to mount an official defense. he has until friday for that deadline. nadler wrote this in there. the judiciary committee has been engaged in an investigation concerning allegations that you may have engaged in acts of obstruction of justice as detailed in special counsel

robert mueller's report in the 2016 election. jon, i thought this impeachment inquiry was about ukraine? that's what's before us. and here'sly nadler -- in the middle of this letter to the president -- sneaking in the idea that, well, we're still looking at obstruction. didn't we already look at that? >> well, we did. but despite the constitutional scholars who are going to talk about what's impeachable, i think jelled ford had it right on the money. he said an impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the house of representatives says it is. they're going to do it before christmas. so they can then go home and move on to the senate. ed: we'll see what kind of reception they get back home at some of their town hall meetings, particularly democrats who move forward as to whether or not the people are for it. if there's a trial early next year, for democratic senators that may run into iowa, new hampshire, some of the caucuses and primaries, it's going to get interesting. jon sale, appreciate your insight today. >> thank you, ed. ed: several million people still facing travel headaches this

washington school of government, and jest tar love, of course -- jessica tarlov, a fox news contributor. let's start with the no malarkey tour. is this do or die for joe biden or what? >> it's not quite. but i think he needs to come in at least third in iowa. he's in fourth position right now. last weekend he got a big endorsement from governor vilsack and his wife christy who are formidable figures in iowa, and hopefully that gives him a bit of a bump there. south carolina is his firewall. he's looking ahead to nevada, but i think if you come in fourth or fifth through iowa and new hampshire, some of the narratives start to switch there. and with mayor pete having his surge moment, i think the discrepancy is something that the media's going to really pounce upon and potentially voters. ed: congressman, i guess no malarkey might be a wink and a nod to that 2012 debate with your former colleague paul ryan where bind was saying -- biden was saying it's a word we used

to use in irish-american families, but i'm not sure it's going to connect with millennials. what do you think? >> i think he's trying to connect, and he recognizes that in that debate at least that was one of the areas where he felt like he connected with people. and so he's rolling it out in iowa. but i wouldn't, you know, part of his reason to do this campaign in iowa is also about the other states. of course, his focus is in iowa, but he really is talking to the other states as well. ed: yeah. okay, let's go to elizabeth warren, jessica, because mike allen had something interesting in axios where he wrote there's a reason medicare for all has dominated every health care discussion at every debate. it's a real problem for the liberal candidates not just because of the cost, but because few swing voters want to dump private health insurance. so it's interesting because we've heard from the left time and time again that polls show the american people love medicare for all, they love this free stuff. but when you dig deeper and show

a battleground state, people don't want to give up their private health insurance. >> not just the battleground states, it runs nationally. and this is a problem that hillary clinton faced and barack obama faced and why they ultimately decided to go with more sensible health care plans that included private insurance. medicare for all, i think of as a kind of fever dream, something we should always be working toward but making sure in the day-to-day people are getting quality, affordable health care. right now the solution for that is to build on the successes we've seen from obamacare. and if you look at one of the a major reasons joe biden is maintaining his front-runner status, it is because that is exactly what he's running on. it also helped he was the vice president to barack obama, but this insurance especially when you're going after union votes, you think richard trumka's going to turn around tomorrow and say, no problem, you know, we worked for decades to get this amazing private insurance, but we'll get get -- give it up for you? ed: indeed. congressman mack, we can have a

lot of fun with this price tag that elizabeth warren's plan that she can't possibly pay for, but i'm not hearing republicans talk a whole lot about health care. what's the republican plan heading into 2020? >> i think right now what you're seeing is on the republican side just letting the democrats fumble over each other, you know? i think elizabeth warren got bullied into the positions that she's taking. she didn't think she could win with bernie sanders, competing with bernie sanders, so she tried to give him a big hug to get all those votes, and it's not working out. she continually is making mistake after mistake, and i wouldn't be surprised if there are some changes in her campaign to address that. ed: no doubt. >> but as far as on the republican side, hey, let's let them keep going. they keep pushing the agenda farther and farther to the left, and the best that we can do is continue to lay the groundwork on the ground around the 50 states and let them continue to

trip over themselves. ed: well, somebody who's spending a lot of money is michael bloomberg. he's pouring millions of dollars into ads, jessica. there's something about you can spend all this money and try to get everyone to vote for you, but when we dig up tape like this from 2018, it might be a problem. listen to michael bloomberg last year. >> the problem is in people that don't have a lot of money. and so higher taxes should have a bigger impact on their behavior and how they deal with themselves. so i listen to people saying, oh, we don't want to tax the poor. well, we want the poor to live longer so that they can get an education and enjoy life, and that's why you do want to do exactly what a lot of people say you don't want to do. the question is do you want to pander to those people, or do you want to get them to live are longer. ed: so he went on to talk about how the poor will use their money to buy sugary big gulps

and stuff in new york. did i hear that right that it's a good idea to raise taxes on the poor because, basically, we know better than them on how to spend it? >> yeah. i wouldn't say i was surprised when i saw this video, but it certainly wasn't my favorite thing that michael bloomberg has ever said, and i very proudly worked for doug schoen for many years who is running his presidential campaign in that area. mike bloomberg is not going to be the candidate for far-lefties and for progressives. he is a moderate are candidate who is going to appeal to a lot of people who are like new yorkers who loved him as mayor, who find him to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. ed: yeah. >> he is going around the normal primary system. he has the cash to do it. and by jumping into the race himself, he's kind of circumventing some of the rules about how many ads you can have on the air. ed: sure. >> his number one mission is to get donald trump out, but videos

are not going to endear him to anyone who's thinking about voting for bernie or elizabeth warren. ed: i imagine focus down in florida, it might sell in manhattan that we're going to raise taxes on the poor, but down in florida how does that sell? >> it doesn't sell well in florida and, frankly, it doesn't sell well in manhattan. it just doesn't sell. and, you know, this is -- him getting into the race is a gift, again, for the republicans. because he's going to, on a lot of issues where he is more progressive, he's going to continue to pull the democrats over to the left, farther to the left. but then he's got issues like in this that i imagine if that we'll see more and more of which, again, is just a gift. and he shows, by getting into the race, that, you know, he believes that there's a lane, a more moderate lane that biden isn't able to hold on to. finish but i think he does more than that. i think he ends up pulling the

party over to the left even farther -- ed: yeah. >> -- because of the policies that he's advocated in the past. >> i don't think anyone would accuse mike bloomberg of pulling the party to the left. he certainly fights on issues like climate change and sensible gun reform, but he's well in the for -- >> that is just not, that is just not true -- [inaudible conversations] >> well, it is true. ed: jessica, you could say he's moderate on some things, but raising taxes on the poor, that's not so moderate. >> yeah, the nanny state -- >> there's nothing more that -- ed: okay, you made your point. got it. jessica, real quick. >> his stance on climate change and gun reform which is where he's poured millions and millions of dollars into are moderate positions within the democratic party, and republicans not show up in 2020 without a health care plan. we won 2018 for that. ed: jessica, connie mack, we'll have you both back.

latest, hi, kevin. >> laura, good to be with you, race against the clock, if you will, for the white house who informed the committee frankly how it wishes to proceed, now, we have all heard about this sunday's 6:00 p.m. deadline, one of many deadlines i want to share with you and the viewers at home as we look ahead to what promises to be a very impactful december, sunday 6:00 p.m., that's the time by which the white house must declare its intention, participate in proceedings and here is a bit of tick toc from there, december 6th. the white house must introduce evidence and witnesses, that's the same deadline, laura, for republican lawmakers on the committee to declare witnesses and evidence and then december 9th, the committee will consider the matter, the white house is obviously concerned that what happened in the adam schiff led intel committee will be replicated in nadler hearings, which as they say, have repeated ungrossly

unprocessed, end quote. so it is still tilted, i think, it's fair to say, so while there are still limitations in the process, members from both sides of the i'll say they are willing to keep an open mind and let the process play itself out. >> i hope the president does participate in the judiciary committee hearings, that he has his counsel there so we see a fair, open transparent process and what i will wait and see intelligence community and make decision. >> what's interesting republicans are saying it's the same thing we have been saying for months, nothing impeachable here, this is a witch hunt. >> as you know the democrats have made it obvious they would like to figure out what to do in december, that means impeachment or maybe a censored decision, to

begin in january, laura. >> live in west palm beach, thanks for that. leland: little more how the white house plans to message possible impeachment trial, coming up in the next hour meantime let's bring in democratic pennsylvania cochair of house democratic policy mat cartwright. flood to have you on thanksgiving week. let's put up the latest poll. >> nice to see you, leland, still digesting turkey, how about you? >> aren't we all and getting ready for leftovers with football. topic of conversation for so many over the thanksgiving holiday, should be impeached november versus october 45, 48 don't think, 28, 46, right now it stands at 45-48,ism --

impeachment under water back home in the district, anybody that came to you and asked you about impeachment who perhaps was undecided or a know that you were able to convince why democrats were in the right on this? >> well, leland, i think you've got me mixed up with the people who are held bent on impeachment, i'm not, i didn't run for office to impeach president trump. i pledged to work with him, the guy won, i passed 3 bills with him and worked with him, in fact, he signed one of my bills into law as an executive order, so i've been working with him. leland: you're a no on impeachment right now? >> i'm an undecided. leland: okay. >> here is what i want to tell you, i don't want to believe this stuff,i don't want to believe that our national american security interest was sacrificed in order to try to get political dirt on a personal

opponent, you know, listening to the testimony of marie yovonovitch and fiona hill, they were saying national security interest was sacrificed in this offered deal. i don't want to believe that stuff. leland: nobody wants to be it but do you, you heard their testimony, you are going to have to make a decision on this conceivably if the articles come out of judiciary committee, do you believe that what you heard from the impeachment hearings rises to an impeachable offense or not? >> that's what i'm telling you, leland, i'm keeping an open mind. leland: what new information are you looking for? >> ambassador sondland and white house chief of staff mick mulvaney saying yes, there was a deal. leland: what new information -- >> i don't want to believe that either. here is what i'm leading up to,

jerry nadler, the chairman of the house judiciary committee has offered to have president trump bring in witnesses, even perhaps testify himself. i think that should be taken up at this point having heard all of the witnesses, i want to hear the innocent side of this narrative, i want -- you hear different things and different defenses thrown up against the wall, most of them didn't stick or they were in conflict with what other people were saying, you know, nadler is being fair to the white house. let's have the white house send in -- >> would you -- leland: would you be okay with making, enforcing the whistle blow the other testify as the president wants to, is that something -- you want to hear the innocent side, that's what the white house wanting to present their side of the case, is that something worth doing? >> i don't think so because i think the whistleblower that was

all hearsay and they brought in all the firsthand witnesses that the whistleblower was talking about, no, i think we ought to have somebody from the white house come in and tell us what is the innocent side of the story because right now -- >> if you want talk about the innocent side of the story, bedrock principal in the u.s. juries prudence that you have a right to confront your accuser, you want to hear the innocent side, why not question the person who first brought forth these concerns and these questions? isn't that fundamentally fair, if somebody was accusing you, you'd want to have the right? >> right, what you're talking about is fundamental protection in criminal cases and that is true, but in this case we also

have protections for whistleblowers. i think that's a red herring leland. -- leland: so you're saying that the white house should be forced to present mick mulvaney or john bolton rather than democrats being forced to present the whistleblower or hunter biden? >> i'm not saying anybody needs to be forced to do anything. i'm saying that they're being invited and nadler has invited the white house to present witnesses. i think they ought to do that. leland: he -- he said that you can present what witnesses i say you can present, he hasn't said present anybody you want, if you're accused of something typically you're allowed to present any witnesses you want not just the ones that the prosecution says you can. >> well, right now you're assuming that jerry nadler will be unfair about it and before anything -- leland: i'm not assuming anything, i'm just asking the question. >> i don't think he is. i don't think he is. leland: so you think he will

allow republicans -- >> the innocent side of the story. leland: okay, well, when you make up your mind, sir, and i appreciate the thought that you noted that you have an open one i'll be interested in having you back and talking about it. >> yeah, this is not happy time and it's not something i was looking forward to, i think that there are so many bipartisan things that we've done, democrats have past 275 bipartisan bills this congress that are sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk. leland: we heard about that. i've heard complaints about that from republicans, sir, enjoy the leftovers. >> good to talk to you, leland, take care. >> now for the republican perspective we want to bring in california congresswoman and member of the house judiciary committee tom, i believe you're coming from my hometown of sacramento california, good to have you here as always, first

off, i want to give you a chance to what representative matt cartwright said, let's start with he doesn't feel he's hill bent on impeachment. >> he wants to hear from the president's defense witnesses, that's exactly what republicans tried to do on the intelligence committee, we have 9 witnesses to present, adam schiff vetoed 6 of 9 requests, i'm sorry, we are in a free society and a free society, the prosecution has not allowed to decide who testifies for the defense, that's exactly what adam schiff did and now we are hearing that those who voted for proceeding with the impeachment process are now saying, well, i'm trying to keep an open mind about this, there are only two democrats who voted no on the original impeachment inquiry, measure that came before the house, the rest are

backing off because they are realizing entire narrative is unraveling on them and just like the phoney russian collusion hoax they put us through 2 and a half years and they are starting to see public opinion moving against them particularly in swing districts and in independent -- among independent voters and in swing states like wisconsin. >> you know, i'm glad that you brought that up because we do see from the polling that most voters don't seem to be convinced that the president should be convinced especially the independents you mentioned. none of the hearings appear to have swayed voters, the question, sir, what are you hearing from constituents, what are people saying there? >> when they bring it up is usually a republican furious about the travesty unfolding but the interesting trend we are seeing, democrats have had hand-picked witnesses, controlling all of the rules and yet public opinion is moving against them.

now, imagine what will happen when republican witnesses allow to testify and if nadler doesn't allow that in the committee, you can be sure that senate will insist on it when it goes over there for trial. >> i'm also curious what you have to say about looking at people who have interested to see if president trump's legal team will jump in here, the president has a lot of lawyers, rudy giuliani and white house counsel, who do you think will participate on this week's hearing, money to bet on? >> i'm afraid i don't, i haven't been privy, i can tell you this, the president is well advised to have counsel there, that's his right in any kind of fair proceeding but i think far more important than that is going to be jerry nadler honoring all of the requests the republicans

make to present witnesses before that committee, right now we've only heard one side of the story. >> right, and you know while most of the president's allies do seem to lean, this long holiday weekend possibly shift strategies, i mean, they've got four days looking this over, you know, we could see maybe changes. >> the burden of proof is not on him and completely unraveling before their eyes, so i don't see any upside for him to directly participate and i can see downside in terms of the damage it would do to the executive privilege protections that are sure that the conversations in the white house can be candid and far-reaching as they're deciding on policy. >> and before i let you go, i wanted to ask you what you're hearing about the two white house management budget officials of ukraine issue, how important a message that sends to people involved in the

inquiry? >> well, look article 2 section 1 of the constitution vests all executive authority with the president, anybody in the administration is not acting independently, all of the administration officials from the highest or the lowest are all reporting to the president of the united states to whom the constitution gives our sole executive authority, if you cannot support and respect that provision of our constitution, you shouldn't be in our government, so good.

by michael bloomberg's campaign as deputy chief operating officer, but it's still full steam ahead for harris in iowa, she's making 5 campaign stops in iowa today including the one she's at right now which is an african-american round community event. >> thank you so much. leland: little more on 2020, we bring in talk radio host jeff who i think has recovered from all of the fried turkey and southern goodness on thanksgiving, we appreciate you being with us as always. let's get back to what elizabeth warren was saying, you will say that she's too liberal for america, right that would be your general thought? >> way too liberal, leland. leland: way to liberal, we got a way in there. you look down at louisiana where john bell edwards who you yourself said was a big liberal just won reelection in a state that president trump won by plus 20 points, has louisiana

changed, has feelings about the president and people who are too liberal changed or is something else going on? >> well, leland what happened was john bell edwards was mascaraing as conservative democrat, he didn't accept the label, he ran from it and a lot of voters were confused about who is john bell edward, progun and pro-life, he was not a typical elizabeth warren democrat, so that's why he was able to squeeze out a victory, louisiana still loves donald trump, the republican candidate down here was not the best candidate and he never told people in louisiana what he was for, all he did was really attack john bell edwards. leland: we will listen to your thoughts before the election and see how they match with what you just said. >> i bet you a dozen benllets.

john edwards is a big liberal. leland: to take from that, if there's a liberal candidate that masquerades as a moderate come november of 2020, that they can win in louisiana or other states that are deep red even something like louisiana trump plus 20 -- trump plus 10. >> in 2020, leland, donald trump is going to be on the ballot and not somebody like eddy or the governor of kentucky, it'll be the real deal and donald trump is very popular in louisiana, he will win in a landslide. leland: are you worried about a place like say, pennsylvania, or michigan, that things have changed? >> no, because i really think the whole impeachment nonsense has helped donald trump, i've seen some polls that show in swing sweets, leland that donald trump's numbers are going up so i'm feeling maybe than i was maybe a few weeks ago that

donald trump is going to win reelection in 2020, by the way, democrats in no way nominate moderate or conserve -- conservative. leland: hold on, you look at a poll for medicare for all in terms of whether people think it is a good idea or not, back in the beginning, okay, during say the iowa state fair straw poll, medicare for all, people were saying looked like a pretty good idea, august 2017, first draw polls, bad idea now, 52% good idea, 36%, that would push a nominee much closer to a joe biden than it does to an elizabeth warren or bernie sanders. >> but here is the deal, leland, joe biden is no conservative. joe biden is a liberal like elizabeth warren, maybe not quite that far out but look at

record in the senate in 50 years, he's on the no malarki tour. i call him mr. malarki, he's the centrist average joe, he's been a politician for his whole life and i don't that's going to resinate with the american people, i don't think the american people are going to accept joe biden. leland: you go back to polls, swing state polls where joe biden is on top right now. >> right, because i think compared to some -- leland: i'm not talking about on top of the democratic nomination, i'm talking on top of the president. >> donald trump was behind everywhere and he won. i think donald trump under polls, we know that, in 2020, i'm very confident, leland, in fact, i might have to bet you another dozen benetts. leland: the control room is going to get real happy, do turkeys like benetss? i don't know.

>> turkeys love everything in fact, we just had a little contest about our turkey of the year. leland: that was who? >> adam schiff was our ring side politics turkey of the year, listeners had him as overwhelming winner. they voted, it was like 10 to 1 for adam schiff. leland: all right, we preprepared video of adam schiff, the control team looking forward for the bennets, we will talk to you soon, laura. >> leland, one of president trump's top priorities has been illegal immigration as we know, a look at how his plans have been working years in the presidency coming up.

leland: welcome back 3 years into the trump presidency,

immigration remains,ty will tell you, a top priority and william takes a closer look at the record of president trump and his predecessor president obama. >> anyone who illegally crosses the border will be detained until they are removed out of our country. >> that was candidate trump's promise in 2016, supporters believed him and critics feared it was crew. 3 years in, some observers say trump looked like a slacker compared president obama. >> they called you deporter in chief. >> you call my deporter in chief. >> compared to estimated 800,000 under president trump. >> at the height of the crisis, cbp apprehensions exceeded 5,000. what's different two things, under obama easily deportable mexican men vastly outnumbered other migrants, today central

american asylum seeking families are entitled for judicial review and under obama county jails migrants to ice for deportation, today sanctuary cities and states cut off the pipeline even stopping agents from enforcing the law in courthouses. >> this rule will affect really a broad spectrum as individuals but especially communities of color and immigrant communities who have been the target of white house operations. >> if that hasn't stopped the trump administration from holding more migrants in detention, on average, 50,000 a day, 40% more than obama. >> the system is so bogged down, some of the cases take a great amount of time. >> those in detention come from two places, 80% arrested by ice have a criminal record, but most migrants in custody today arriving from the border don't. >> the actions by this administration aren't just morally reprehensible, as i said, they are illegal.

>> appears that president trump removed fewer migrants than president obama, he filed more deportation cases than any president 25 years but court orders and lack of space forced him to release 250,000 families. in los angeles william, fox news. >> the new developments involving a person of interest in the jennifer case, we will have more on the civil case involving the missing connecticut's mother's family coming up next it was kind of a shock after... i started cosentyx. i wasn't covered anymore. four years clear. five years now. i just look and feel better. see me. cosentyx works fast to give you clear skin that can last. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx.
