>> he still does not have anything compelling or bipartisan. that does not stop him. heather: the impeachment inquiry, some trying to overshadow the president's trip overseas, we are live on capitol hill for the judiciary committee as first hearing beginning in hours. christmas controversy. do you remember when milania trump's christmas decor had the media seeing red to give this year the first lady's fashion is coming under fire. "fox and friends first" starts right now. ♪

jillian: love starting the day with country music to get your boots kicking. you are watching "fox and friends first" on wednesday morning, midway through the weekend a busy weekend a busy one ahead. thank you for starting the day with us and we begin with a fox news alert donald trump kicking off a pack today at the nato summit before wrapping things up overseas. john roberts is live in england with the high-stakes meeting on the docket and you could say the president kicked the dustup a little bit yesterday. >> reporter: he did and there's a chill in the air, about the freezing mark north of london, the president should be touching down, marine one a couple minutes from now, the big nato

meetings, and some individual bilateral meetings with the leaders of denmark, germany and italy. all those countries we should point out well below the 2% of gdp payments the president wents on nato nations to make my 2024 so that will drive a lot of the conversation. yesterday tense moments between donald trump and french president macron in advance of the summit, that nato is brain-dead because of the criticisms donald trump has made of it and some of the things he has done. yesterday, meeting with the secretary-general of nato, donald trump firing back at macron >> it is a tough statement, very nasty statement. they had a very rough year and you can't go around making statements like that about nato. it is very disrespectful.

>> later in the day in a bilateral meeting with macron, there were disagreements over the funding and mission of nato, france and other european nations refusal to take back isis fighters the traveled from european nations to syria. listen to this exchange. >> i could give them to you. you could take every one you want. >> current fighters coming from europe. >> this is why he's a great politician, one of the greatest nonanswers i have ever seen. that is okay. >> the president causing an earthquake and financial markets when he announced he is in no rush to sign a trade deal with china and the trade war may drag

on through 2020 and beyond. >> john has become more powerful, more so than in the past, they did it with the united states money because our past presidents allowed them to steal the cookie-cutter. that is okay. i'm doing very well in a deal with china. i want to make it. >> reporter: donald trump did add talks between the united states and china continue. you might have heard the white house press pool landed here. marine one can't be far behind, the president will soon arrive at the nato meetings. heather: you had a long day yesterday is another one today. the next phase of the impeachment inquiry starts today after the intel committee released its report claiming the

president misused power and obstructed congress. the judiciary committee will meet hours from now. >> reporter: chairman jerry nadler, the judiciary committee, after receiving that 300 page report by democrats accusing the president of serious misconduct and accusing him of unprecedented obstruction. also new phone records from rudy giuliani. adam schiff had this to say. >> phone records are consistent with the coordination of a lot of the schemes. the president of the united states solicited foreign interference in our election and used the power of his office, the power to convene a meeting in the oval office, the power to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to an ally at war

to get his political dirty work done. >> he is paying attention and fired back at chairmanship. >> he is a deranged human being, grew up with a complex for lots of reasons, a very sick man. he lies. >> reporter: today we get to hear from four constitutional scholars weighing in on the merits of whether this rises to high crimes and misdemeanors and gavilan at 10:00 am. follow the format to the last time, questioning by chairman nadler in his counsel followed by doug collins. there are 41 members on the committee, 24 democrats, 17 republicans. the ranking member had this to say.

>> the fact of nixon clinton, and not just disputed but contradicted. they don't have facts on their side. >> reporter: what is important about this route is this committee will write articles for impeachment if they are coming into the house for a full vote. nancy pelosi's sources tell fox news the timing for such a vote is unlikely before christmas. >> no recommendations in that report, thank you, appreciate it. donald trump revealing the military found valuable intel during the raid that killed the former isis leader. >> we got abu bakr al-baghdadi, when we killed him, we have a lot of information for the first time but a lot of good information.

heather: abu bakr al-baghdadi was killed during a special forces raid in october. he did not say what intel was found or if any of it will be released. a manhunt intensifying, accused of dragging police officers 50 yards with a stolen car. the incident in dayton, ohio, may have been premeditated. >> all this violence is just ridiculous. >> reporter: one officer is injured but is expected to be okay. suspects nearly ran over two other officers with another stolen car. and the four teenagers, from a juvenile detention center. they were found at an apartment complex outside nashville.

the teens in two others escaping from the front door of the detention facility saturday night. two teens are still on the run including murder suspect, brandon carruthers is charged with armed robbery. former chicago police chief eddie johnson is speaking out for the first time since being fired. johnson was ousted by the mayor weeks before he planned retirement. he says, she says he lied about an incident in october when he was fell asleep at the wheel. in a statement johnson says i did not intentionally mislead or deceive the mayor or the people of chicago. i acknowledged i made a poor decision and had lack of judgment. johnson fell asleep after forgetting to take blood pressure medication.

republican congressman devon nunez suing cnn for defamation. the $435 million suit was filed after the network reported nunez met with a former ukrainian prosecutor in virginia, nunez telling fox news this. >> it is clear to me, cnn had an ask to grind, always with spears, lies, fake news, just happens this time they went overboard and i'm not going to take it anymore. heather: cnn has not commented. a high school kicker making a longshot play as time runs out at the state championship game. scoring a field-goal from the 55 yard line to win the state title in hawaii. the high school football team

won 20-17. the second championship in three years. the democrats impeachment report accusing the president abuse of power but does the report prove any wrongdoing. the second round of impeachment hearings, the on my next guest causes the dog and pony show.

>> welcome back, you can see marine one, the president arrived for day 2 of the nato summit. and a full day of meetings the second day and just hours, sitdown with german chancellor angela merkel and also meet with prime ministers of italy and denmark. first there will be a welcome session and that will be with uk

prime minister boris johnson and a group session among other things. he spent the majority of the day with the main thing everybody was talking about, his meeting with french presidency manual macron, they went back and forth with the digital text everyone is talking about and also of course that meeting came on the heels of donald trump addressing the media for a lengthy session yesterday during which he said france is more dependent on nato than the united states is after negative words from macron in reference to nato. lots of issues on the table once again. isis security, russia, turkey which he talked about and also with nato's secretary-general,

and erdogan, we will see if that happens today. hopefully he will get out of marine one shortly. he is running pretty much on time with unexpected that he would dress reporters for that length of time you recall if you were with us yesterday morning. you don't expect him to do that right now because the media has backed some distance. the actual press availability, press conference which will happen today at 10:30 a.m. eastern time after as we mentioned he would meet with the prime minister of italy. we will keep this up for you. they will depart the grove 11:20 a.m. and the president and the first lady will leave

altogether following two days of meetings with nato and he will return to the united states this evening and all of this will be carried live throughout the day on fox. as we keep the live shot up for you let's talk a little more about what is happening in washington. the house intelligence committee voted to push the impeachment inquiry forward as democrats explosive 300 page report, some say explosive, others not so much accusing the president of misconduct and obstruction. >> the president of the united states solicited foreign interference in our election and used the power of his office, the power to convene a meeting in the oval office, to provide or withhold aid to an ally at war to get his political dirty work done. heather: the question is does it prove anything wrong?

joining me to break it down constitutional law attorney, we talked about this yesterday. the day the president is addressing the world stage, trying to take once again, the important work the president is doing. >> it breaks from the koran as well. traditionally speaking they don't do these domestic issues when the president is engaged on any foreign diplomacy at the water's edge. this is a slight to him but i take issue with characterizing it as explosive. it is very thin and a whole lot of nothing. heather: i did read 300 pages, let's look at one portion of

this, a quote from the democrats, his own political and personal interest above the national interest to undermine the integrity of the us presidential election process and endangered us national security. what proof do they have of that? >> they have no proof of that, it took 35 hours of testimony. and innuendo and hearsay, any direct evidence about what his intentions were, gordon sondland said he presumed there was a quid pro quo but asked if donald trump ever told him he had an expectation he said absolutely not. heather: no new material in those 300 pages and obviously the hearings begin today with the judicial committee.

>> in london, kamala harris officially at home calling it quits, the front-runner blaming lack of funding. todd pyro joins us live is another presidential hopeful claims media bias for the low polling numbers. >> reporter: saying she's very much in this fight to defeat donald trump, it is over.

>> the financial resources to continue. i'm not a billionaire, can't fund my own campaign. >> reporter: former 2024s, joe biden tweeting kamala harris is an incredible talent. taking on those who abuse power and seeking equity and justice for all people. that echoes similar tweets from elizabeth warren and bernie sanders but julian castro's comments took a different direction. >> the way the media -- this has been something else. it has been grossly unfair and unfortunate. >> we are down to 6 at this point, biden, buttigieg, sanders, styron warren, one name not a netlist is michael bloomberg. harris did not have the money to continue but that is not the

case for the former nyc mayor, spending $57 million on tv ads. his campaign began a week ago. let's take another live shot as the president showed you he was landing in marine one, now he is apparently arriving at the grove. this is where the meetings will happen. we mentioned the official welcome with the native secretary, prime minister boris johnson and then also something we didn't mention, a group lunch with nations that are paying 2% going to defense funding which the president pushed for the last time around and spoke about yesterday saying many countries increased the amount of money

comparable to what the united states contributes to nato and as we monitor the situation we will have that for you if we can. we will be right back. stay with us. chores. chores. so, we got jean-pierre. but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with renters insurance. ♪ yeah, geico did make it easy to switch and save. ♪ oh no. there's a wall there now. that's too bad. visit geico.com and see how easy saving on renters insurance can be.

>> american companies you are talking about, we want to tax american companies. the president knows we tax wind and other taxes but we would rather not do that. heather: donald trump sitting down with french presidency manual macron days after possible retaliatory tariffs as high as 100% on french goods. international relations expert rebecca grant says not to worry as she joins us to explain. why shouldn't we worry about

this? >> reporter: france's digital service tax proposal is outrageous. don't worry, don't stockpile the champagne because the us trade representative is just announcing their latest investigation findings and they will have another hearing in january to decide what action to take. this is a negotiating position by donald trump but a series possibility. heather: as you continue to discuss it, emmanuel macron pausing to take questions from the press. as we mentioned happening at the grove and another round of meetings today and he said we have this to bring up for everyone at home. we will see where the discussion lead in coming weeks but it will involve european response because it would not be france being sanctioned or attacked but instead europe. what about that? >> france is doing this because

the eu wouldn't impose additional service tax. a very unusual tax on revenue. it is retroactive in the eu is uncomfortable with it but france is plowing ahead which is why our trade representative is taking action. a great report on it, and outrageous tax, good luck with that. heather: angela merkel said macr macron's remark was dumb. respond to what the president said about that yesterday, but france needs nato more than the united states. >> france does. this is the heart of europe but france spent 40 years out of nato. they love to set their own course. the president is right. nato has to focus on threats from russia and china. this is no time to be

disrespectful to the other nato members. heather: a lot of folks saying macron is trying to follow donald trump's leading reference to how donald trump confronted nato in terms of defense funding and all the nation's 29 bringing their contributions up to 2%. >> macron does want to be the number one european leader on defense and he has always wanted a more independent defense and foreign policy and wants to sell french military systems as well. heather: you wanted to mention it. they talked yesterday, the president asked about turkey buying missiles from russia. in reference to russia should they be allowed to join and what is the latest on that? >> macron is half right, nato

has to do better in preparing to face russia's new missile threat, those are hypersonic missiles, intermediate range missiles, and preparing to move rapidly in case there is a border incursion or gray area threat or cyberthreat by russia. that is behind trump's push to get all nato members up to 2% and that will be a lot of the substance of the talks today among heads of state. heather: we will see what they have to say and we appreciate having you join us. have a good day. kamala harris suspending her campaign but continues her twitter tirade against the president. carly shimkus with serious xm 115 with washington's reaction to the senator's send off. carley: the biggest shock in a democrat race took place yesterday but what happened next

will surprise no one, donald trump taking to twitter, too bad, we will miss you too which senator harris responded don't worry, i will see you at your trial. the official trump war room twitter account posted a sweet congratulating tulsi gabbard given the number of head to head matchups they had during the democratic debates but gabbard taking the high road sending my best wishes to kamala harris, her family and supporters, we disagree on some issues but agree on others and i respect this and you desire to serve the american people, appreciate looking forward together on the challenges we face as a nation. harris had to respond $5 million over the next two weeks and that goal was just -- heather: a lot of folks dropping out over the weekend but we will see who is next. last year there was controversy over the white house christmas decorations. this time around the white house

is responding as milania trump's christmas tree exhibit is compared to a horror film. carley: she and the other decorations sunday and did not take long for media critics to call her out on some. the daily beast says milania trump's joyless christmas decorations will hunt your nightmares and washington post rights milania trump's christmas decorations are lovely but that code looks ridiculous, that headline written by a washington post fashion critic. white house press secretary stephanie gershon said it has become an annual tradition, holiday tradition for the media to attack all the first lady does. if this was a democratic administration i suspect the work would be featured positively in every mainstream news outlet. social media responding to the nastiness. michelle says a magical beautiful christmas wonderland. the media should stop bullying

milania and there was nothing michelle put on that wasn't gorgeous to the washington media elite. . double standard exists. evelyn shining and saying the essence of what the first lady should be, classy to the end. if they don't like the president don't take it out on her. seems to be a double standard. jillian: what look like a horror film in those decorations? twinkle lights, snow, a lot of christmas trees. carley: these were -- he had another beautiful coat on yesterday. i love how she does that. heather: a nice-looking demonstration, thank you. let's look at this live shot once again. the official welcome ceremony is supposed to get underway. donald trump expected to walk out on the stage this being the

70th anniversary of nato. 29 nations included. we were discussing with doctor grant a moment ago how some of what we discussed today has to do with russia and the latest security threats from russia. also china. the trade deal with china being something the president was asked about from some of the journalists at home yesterday. his immediate answer causing the stock market to take a dive because he said a solution to the trade deal may not happen until after the election. that is shocking some folks. a lot of discussion in terms of isis and the way isis has moved across the country. many saying it was successfully stopped in syria, that brought up questions about turkey and

the secretary-general of nato and donald trump emphasizing how turkey was successful in overcoming isis. there were some questions about turkey purchasing missiles from russia and whether turkey should be sanctioned as a result of that so that will be discussed today and we will be right back as we follow live the 70th anniversary of nato in london. stay with us. ara 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. thousands of options nationwide from national insurance companies. don't miss the deadline. there are only days remaining in open enrollment. funny thing about health insurance, you don't think about how much you need it until you need it. he's not going to be okay. with so many changes to health insurance plans, are you still sure you have the right fit? having the wrong fit can cost you thousands.
