ed: good morning. straight to a fox news alert. the u.s. military and its bases on edge as the fbi ramps up its search for the missing saudi serviceman linked to that pensacola navy base shooting. pete: this as we hear from an airman who survived the attack. >> jonathan serrie is outside the naval air station in pensacola with more on the sailors who died as heroes. >> reporter: good morning to you. we've learned quite a bit overnight, the navy has released the names of the three victims killed in friday's attack here in pensacola a la. all three were students at naval aviation school's command,

joshua watson, mohamed hatham, a 19-year-old from st. petersburg, and a third student, cameron scott walters, a 21-year-old from richmond hills, georgia. a commanding officer issued this statement, the sailors who showed exceptional heroism and bravery in the face of evil, when confronted, they ran towards the danger and saved lives. airman ryan blackwell is one of eight survivors, he reportedly shielded a female colleague with his body. my adrenaline was pumping so much, i wasn't worried about being shot, i was worried about getting us to safety and getting us out of there. the fbi has now officially identified the shooter as mohamed al-shamrani, who was among hundreds of foreign students from allied forces who

studied at the pensacola base. although guns are banned on base, not every car that enters is checked x investigators say al-shamrani brought a gun into a classroom building and opened fire. saudi arabia has pledged its full cooperation with the investigation. >> i spoke with the king of saudi arabia. they are devastated. we'll find out, we'll get to the bottom of it. >> reporter: and the u.s. northern command is calling for an increase in random security checks at its bases in the wake of not only this shooting in pensacola, but last week's fatal shooting at pearl harbor. back to you. ed: thank you, jonathan serrie. >> thank you. ed: when you look at those pictures, first of all, the heroes who died, how young they are. pete: may we say their names, because these are heroes who served our country in uniform if

in the face of this attack -- right there. and we don't have the picture of the airman, cameron. we will eventually. god bless those people. >> and with joshua watson, his brother said that he went outside despite being shot multiple times and gave critical information to first responders so that they could identify the shooter. so just heroic acts by them. we honor them and pray for them and their families as well. ed: those are the heroes, and then there's the killer and what he was doing in the hours before this massacre, basically. three killed, at least eight injured. and we're still learning more detail it is about all those who were injured and how serious those injuries are. but this shooter had some sort of a party where he was showing videos of, you know, it was a dinner party where he's showing videos of people being shot, you know, mass shootings, you know in and then he was in new york city shortly, right here in new york city shortly before the attack. pete: yeah. ed: and was watching the christmas tree in rockefeller

center being lit. was that, hey, i know i'm going out in, you know, this massacre, and i'm probably going to go down, and i'm going to have one last night in new york city, or was he doing some sort of a dry run with other terrorists to think about what they could do here if they survived pensacola in. >> at least what's been reported so far, obviously, there's going to be more information, is it the same four many? it's these -- foursome? it's these four individuals to look at different areas, the same foursome who watched videos of mass shootings, reportedly. and then at the time of the shooting, you have the one individual who carried out the attack, you have another individual who's filming, and then you have the two other individuals who, i believe, were olds in a car. the same four individuals in a different series of events, is there more to the story outside of this one individual? were they part of a group? were they affiliated with any other group? we have so many questions and really hope that we get some further answers.

pete: all right. we've all had dinner parties. a dinner party where you show mass shootings with your friends who then are a part of it? cleary, this is a concerted effort. maybe it's a cell. we don't know. if there's -- he pulled the trigger, but if you're filming it and a part of a dinner party and you're in a getaway car, effectively, on the outside, these are two, three, four people who knew what they were doing and were looking to kill americans. based on us flying them to our country. ed: right. pete: to train them on systems that we hoped they would know how to use to our benefit. >> well, and i would love to know how was the video going to be disseminated? was it uploaded anywhere? was it live streamed? pete: they think we're dumb enough, they don't know. no, no, listen, this guy from saudi arabia who did it, he's not thinking it through. he's like i want to kill

americans. film it. okay. once you get caught by that guy right there in the intersection, you're saying what do i do -- they haven't thought it through, but they hope they can go to the afterlife where they get the benefit of martyrdom. that's what they're thinking through. >> that's why we want to get to the bottom of it. as i mentioned earlier, four individuals, different series of events, and then they film it. was that part of a larger purpose? what was the account that it was supposed to be filmed and aired on? i think these are legitimate question that deserve to be asked and where where was that o supposed to go? or was it uploaded? ed: all important questions, but another key question is how can we trust that people or who are supposed to be our allies, that as you say, we're training, there are more than 100 countries where we're training military pilots and others who are supposed to be helping us. and instead we now have killers in our midst, potentially, beyond this one. and that's something that the

defense secretary, mark esper, is concerned about. he talked about increasing security at military bases around the country, maybe around the world at if reagan -- at the reagan defense forum yesterday. watch. >> i directed that we look at our curt precautions -- security precautions to make sure that we've got the appropriate degree of security to protect our service members and their families and our communities. and that's underway. at the same time, i also directed that we look at our vetting procedures within dod for all the many foreign nationals that come, for good reason, for our country to train. as you may or may not know, anybody that comes to the united states to train is or should be, is vetted by the department of state, the department of homeland security, and ultimately, us. we need to relook at all of that. ed: he's going to be on "fox news sunday" as well, getting into this, the aftermath, what they need to change in the vetting. that'll be on, no doubt, as well. but, look, there have been to be

changes. senate rick scott has talked about that, he'll be on the program a little bit later. the governor of florida, ron desantis, has talked about that. and matt gaetz is somebody who's how long real courage in speaking out, the congressman from the local area. he tweeted yesterday that he got a call from a saudi official saying our hearts go out to you, and he said, yeah, okay, we want answers. that's not enough. it's a big deal. >> and on those answers that we want to know, i mean, how thoroughly was he vetted by the saudi government? this was a guy who was in the saudi military. what's their vetting process, and how thoroughly was this individual vetted. pete: yeah. so as of right now i'm banned from twitter -- just so you know. ed: why? pete: formally banned from twitter because yesterday we reported that the guy who killed americans -- ed: yeah. pete: -- posted on twitter a manifesto. and i took a screen shot of the manifesto which was widely reported in the media.

ed: we reported it on -- pete: america's evil, the internet lives forever, take a screen shot of it. i posted it on my account saying here's the now-blocked between from the saudi islamist who murdered three brave americans in florida. the i coward posted it just hours, this is islamist terror, saudi arabia must be held to account. i posted that in the morning. five, six hours later i was blocked. >> blocked? pete: this is what twitter said. hey, pete, your account has been blocked for violating the twitter rules. please note that repeated violations may lead to a permanent suspension of your account. proceed to twitter now to fix your issue with your account. so we reached out, "fox & friends," to twitter to say, hey, why was a host of our show blocked for merely posting newsworthy information. posting the manifesto is a violation of the twitter rules. so, hold on, so the guy posted a

manifesto. it wasn't blocked when he posted it, right? then shot up the room. then i post the fact that he said it. here's what he said, here's what he believes, here's why he did what he did, and i'm blocked? i don't want to make myself the story, but what world do we live in where i'm the guy who can't post on twitter, and right now i can't even view twitter -- >> i have a question. do we know whether other people who also shared it -- pete: yes. ohs, of course -- others, of course. here's the thing, i have a platform. other people who post that because they want to share the information of radical islam and what's happening are banned as well. ed: free speech rights to speak out and call it what it is, which is which what you did. the tricky part is the manifesto piece. you want to make sure -- not that you were -- but i think what twitter's trying to say is you don't want to promote the manifesto because that could inspire others. pete: totally get that. ed: that's not what you --

pete: promoting is one thing, exposing, explaining information is a whole other case. there is a special way that twitter treats things as it pertains to radical islam. ed: we should call out violence and violent extremism everywhere are. >> and your intent was to get to the motivation of this individual, right? pete: that's the point. >> exactly. pete: listen, we should be calling this out. i feel like the president should be calling out the fact that this is radical islamic terror. he has not to this point, he should. >> mr. president. ed: we'll stay on top of that. we'll also be talking impeachment. in the meantime, this fox news alert, another police officer shot and killed, this one in arkansas. he was killed execution style, the officer, whose name has not yet been released, gunned down in the parking lot of his own station. officers chased the shooter into an alley where he was shot and killed. just hours earlier a houston police sergeant, christopher

brewer, was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance. police arrested the suspected shooter who has an extensive criminal record. remember, there was an officer killed yesterday in alabama as well. also breaking this morning, a live look in hong kong, protesters flood the streets to mark six months of demonstrations. earlier police arrested 11 people accusing them of planning to use weapons to frame police officers. unreal. eight people, three kids rushed to the hospital after a carbon monoxide if leak. they were on a boat participating in the annual christmas boat parade in washington, d.c. when a kid passed out. everyone, thankfully, expected to be okay. and on to college football. pete, you want to jump in? pete: the ohio state -- [laughter] i pronounced it yesterday, i said ohio. it's the ohio state, leads an impressive comeback to beat number 8 wisconsin in the big ten title game. >> second down, fields.

[laughter] >> i'll still cheer for the sec because i went there. all right, well, shifting gears, as democrats gear up for another week of impeachment hearings, the house judiciary committee puts out a report that claims the president can be impeached for motive without breaking the law. so how does that actually work many stay with us.

learn more about the condition at factsonhand.com pete: welcome back. a fox news alert, the secretary of defense says it's too early to label the deadly attack on a naval air station in florida as terrorism. i don't know how he gets that. as investigators are still searching, somehow, for a motive. this as we learn new details about the attacker from saudi arabia, including that he reportedly wrote a manifesto condemning america as a nation of evil before opening fire and killing three people. he also hosted a dinner party where they showed films of mass attacks. retired army infantry captain and pennsylvania congressional candidate sean parnell joins us now. help me with in the, because here you've got somebody who was gunning for americans -- >> of course. pete: -- hosted a dinner party to talk about, to show mass attacks. why are we give candidating --

>> well, we shouldn't be. it absolutely is terrorism. you have a group of saudis that come to america to train, we've been training saudis for a long time, but they coordinated. they had a dinner party, they're watching videos of mass shootings. the fbi detained people the following day that were recording the attack. this is sort of the attacks that you see in afghanistan and iraq when there's an ied attack -- pete: you're right. there's always someone recording. >> this is a textbook attack on americans. it was coordinated, premeditated, and we should not equivocate. pete: we could be talking about a cell. >> we could. pete: a i mean, a group of people who came to america, radicalized here or there, whatever it is, and said, okay, we've got the opportunity to come here, we want to kill americans. a dinner party that says we're going to look at mass shooting, then we're going to film it, you're going to kill americans. what is it about our institutions that would hold us back from saying this is radical islamic terrorism? >> well, you know, it's

interesting, i was -- i went on to your twitter account last night when i was researching this segment. i know, i read the manifesto earlier today, or and i'm like, jeez, where's the manifesto? i must have scrolled up and down your timeline five times, i couldn't find it. the point here is we can't shut down conversation. we face the greatest asymmetric threat of our time. my position this, we should trust americans with the information. i don't think -- not promoting terrorism when you share the manifesto on your timeline. you've been banned -- pete: for sharing what the terrorist said about how he hated america. >> americans need to be aware of this threat. americans deserve the right to know what it is, and we should be able to have a productive discussion on that topic. pete: tell me, sean, about your race right now, pennsylvania 17. >> i think it's the biggest race in the country. look, i'm sort of -- come from a blue collar family, mediocre student -- [laughter] if you would have asked me a year ago if i was running for congress, i would have laughed.

the amount of attention this race has gotten is incredible. my position always has been they need somebody who truly represents them, an american first, republican second, and that's what i'm going to do. i'm going to advocate for those people when i win. pete: so if you win, you could say that president trump wins as well. >> well, i think the road to the white house is through pennsylvania, and the road to pennsylvania is through pa-17 as well. pete: good man. sean, thank you very much. saturday night live mocking nancy pelosi for bringing her faith into the impeachment debate. >> i am not impeaching trump because i hate him. i pray for him all the time.

catholic because of my faith, my faith tells me not to hate anyone but then say as a catholic, i do my own thing when it comes to, for example, abortion. right? it's like if i say my bible tells me not to do this and then you say, pete, oh, let me tell you what my bible tells me, it's the same thing. if you say as a cath hick my faith -- catholic my faith teaches me -- pete: where does that come from? we had rush limbaugh on friday, and he said just that. she invokes her catholic faith in every instance exception on -- except on the issue of abortion. where does that selective nature come from in. >> i think it's relativism. we live in our society to be able to say even though this objectively is within the teaching of the church, i can say, no, it's not. i can choose what i want. it's catholic christianity. i take this but not that. i want a little bit of this, but

information with immigration authorities, i.c.e. and cbp. so it doesn't take a legal scholar to understand in this law's in direct conflict with federal law, and doj will take this, they'll fight it in court, and they'll win because federal law always supersedes local and state laws. ed: yeah. in fact, doj attorney it is had this filing just last week about it, the act's disclosure and restrictions are aimed at frustrating the federal government's enforcement of the federal immigration laws. it seems to me we've heard this again and again about all of the impediments that exist right now to enforce our immigration laws. why in the world our legislators here in new york are making that even more difficult in terms of enforcing our laws. >> it's because it's a fight against this administration's immigration policies. the legislators know exactly what they're doing. look, they know they will lose in this court, but they want to say we fought the trump administration, we tried to do what we could. it's the same reason, ed, that

at the harry potter school of economics. wave a wand and magically, everyone else will pay for it. there's not enough money in america to pay for these policies, and especially there's not enough money if the people that are calling for them aren't willing to foot the bill. director hohmann talked about how we have so much more illegal immigration in america, and i think that lot of that is because we're incentivizing people to come here illegally. when we say we're going to give these free benefits, i think that's going to make more of that happen in the future. i think policies like this are not doing anything to benefit american people and the american citizenry, and i do think that's a problem. and i think that social pressure plays a big role. people feel i'm being compassionate -- lisa: so i like the harry potter thing, that's very funny, but a lot of the 2020 candidates subscribe to that. bernie sanders beat hillary clinton in the iowa caucus in 2016, why do they resonate so much with young people? >> i think a big part of it is

that social pressure. right now young people are told you either support all these policies for illegal immigrants, or you're a bigot, all these horrible things. very hard to start the compromise when you either agree with these policies, or you don't like immigrants. and i think that pressure leads a lot of these college students, i've interviewed hundreds of leadership institutes for campus reform, and a lot of them like, yeah, i think the law's good, but i don't want to be called all these horrible things. i think a lot of candidates don't want to appear not compassionate. it's a shame because if, again, there should be compromise. very difficult when that's the starting point. lisa: cabot, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thanks so much. lisa: still ahead, we're learning more about the pensacola navy base shooter, like how he watched videos of mass shootings. he even took a trip to new york city just days before the

ed: good morning. let's get straight to a fox news alert. ing u.s. military base is on edging as the fbi ramps up its search for the missing saudi servicemen linked to the pensacola shooting. lisa: we're learning more about the american heroes who died in the attack. pete: jonathan serrie joins us with more. >> reporter: the navy has released the names of the three victims who lost their lives in friday's hooting, also describes them as heroes. more on that later. all three of them were students at naval aviation school's command here in pensacola. they include ensign joshua watson, a 23-year-old from alabama, airman mohamed hatham,

a 19-year-old from st. petersburg if, florida x a third student not pictures, airman apprentice cameron scott walters, a 21-year-old from richmond hill, virginia. the naval air station's commanding officer issued this statement: the sailors that lost their lives in the line of duty and showed exceptional heroism and bravery in the face of evil, when confronted, they didn't run from danger, they a ran towards it and saved lives. navy airman ryan blackwell is one of eight injured survivors in the attack. when the gunman fired through his office door, he reportedly shielded a female colleague with his body. blackwell tells the pensacola news journal, my adrenaline was pumping so much, i wasn't worried about being shot, i was worried about getting us to safety and getting out out of there -- us out of there. the fbi has identified the shooter as mohammed al-shamrani, a 21-year-old second lieutenant from the saudi royal air force who was among hundreds of foreign students from allied countries who study aviation at the pensacola base.

although guns are banned on the property, not every car that enters is checked, and investigators say al-shamrani had brought a gun into an aviation classroom building, used it to open fire. saudi arabia has pledged its full cooperation with the investigation. >> reporter: and in the wake of this shooting and also the fatal shooting last week in pearl harbor, northcom is calling for an increase in random security checks at its bases. back to you. ed: thank you for. that i mean, there's so much to dig through there. first of all, the fact that not every car is searched heading onto to some of these bases, i mean, i get it. it's time consuming and difficult, but now this terrorist basically is able to get a weapon on that he shouldn't have had and is able to kill these three heroes.

pete: two months ago i went -- i do regular military drills. i went on a base in virginia. they check your military id. well, he was given a military id as a saudi national here training. so they're not checking every car. he gets an illegal weapon. he's watching movies of mass attacks in the days before -- ed: at a, quote, dinner party. pete: -- dinner party with other saudi nationals who we now know were filming the attack. we're not talking about the lone wolf here, we're talking about a potential cell or other people who were participant of this attack or at least knew about it which brings about a whole number of additional questions about what do people know and when do they know it. lisa: well, and, pete, to your point about the idea there's more involved here, it certainly raises questions because we now have reports that they visited new york, rockefeller center. as you mentioned, there was a dinner party where they're watching videos of mass shootings. and then on the day of the attack, you have the one individual carrying out the

attack, someone else videotaping it and two other people outside in a car. this group of four certainly raises questions about, you know, what were their motives, were they a part of something bigger, was it just their own -- pete: and then you look at their motives, he's quoting osama bin laden on twitter -- by the way, i've been banned on twitter for merely showing what he said. and you look at the motivations, which is very important in instances like this. if people are out to kill us and at war with us, you've got to be willing to talk about why they're doing what they're doing. ed: -- attacking israel, to lisa's point, he's at rockefeller center here in new york city -- lisa: why was he there? ed: before this attack with these other saudi nationals. were they doing a dry run? were they checking out the possibility that if he survived in pensacola, he was going to unleash more terror somewhere else? who else survived this attack who may now be plotting other deals? this is why the fbi is all over

it. another american hero, sean parnell, on the program earlier. he said it clearly looks like terror. >> it absolutely is terrorism. when you have a group of saudis that come to america to train, we've been training saudis for a long time, but they coordinated. they had a dinner party, they're watching videos of mass shootings, the fbi detained people the following day that were recording the attack. this is a textbook attack on americans. it was coordinated, it was premeditated, it's absolutely terrorism, and we should not equivocate. pete: we're going to have senator rick scott on the program at 9:30, more details if florida. again, details are important in situations like this. what we know and when we know it. we will bring it to you when we have it. lisa: the defense secretary is not yet saying it's terrorism, but you've got someone when that's putting these ideas out there that has these thoughts and, certainly -- pete: i don't understand the hesitation to just come out and say this is rad a call islamic

terrorism. -- radical islamic terrorism. maybe we have a relationship with saudi arabia, get it -- ed: we asked stephanie grisham yesterday because he used to get on president obama about in this all the time. lisa: another big story we're watching is impeachment. we've got another week of hearings. the house judiciary committee put up a report that claims the president can be impeached for motive without actually breaking the law. ed, what do you make of that? ed: i was hosting for martha a couple weeks back, and he was saying that, predicting this was going to be about thought crimes. the president thought about -- [inaudible conversations] and there were some on the left saying what is he talking about? they're now saying for your motive, your thoughts. not actual crimes. we're going to actually try to um peach you. here's a quote from that report, the house judiciary report. the question is not whether the president's conduct could have resulted from permissible motives, it's whether the

president's real reasons, the one in his mind at the time, were legitimate. so now you have jerry nadler, the democratic chairman, trying to divine what was inside the president's head. that's why the president keeps saying you don't have to divine it, here's what was in the transcript. pete: you have no fact witnesses. you bring constitutional scholars who are clearly haters of the president. that's your evidence. then you want to talk about what was going on in his mind in there's no court of law that's ever said what were you thinking whether or not you murdered somebody -- i mean, it's amazing. but house democrats talking to another network feel, well, this is all legitimate. ed: some of these democrats are also getting a little skittish. pete: they are. lisa: and you've got 31 running in districts that president trump won in 2016. look, democrats are thinking about, you know, let's include pieces from the russia aspect of this as well, and there's been a lot of these moderate democrats saying, no, let's keep this

specific because they're worried about their re-election. ed: i don't think we should be throwing the whole kitchen sink and try to overreach. might be referring to one of the articles potentially being about the mueller report. anonymous democrat. pete: this does have political consequences, and the people who will suffer significant political consequences are moderate members. to your point. [laughter] ed: another anonymous -- i am struggling to see how the evidence supports impeachment at this point. so these are democrats to cnn saying i don't know if the evidence is there, a. and, b, this is going to backfire on -- pete: let me can though, would nancy pelosi have gone forward without the rank and file being onboard? lisa: ding, ding, ding, exactly. it was also the most moderates that washington post op-ed before nancy pelosi said we're going to move forward, i know moderate democrats with intel backgrounds -- ed: said they were concerned

about ukraine. lisa: right. sort of expressing openness to impeachment, and that's really what i think along with the whistleblower report that got them involved. ed: nancy pelosi, they always say she can count noses better than -- votes better than anyone, would push forward. but when you see cnn and others reporting, well, the moderates are concerned, is she trying to force them and saying you've got to be with me and they're not really there yet, or are they there? just about 24 hours from now the house judiciary committee comes back. the president, meantime, is saying they're thinking about what was inside my head. he says it's a hoax. >> the impeachment thing is a total hoax. the numbers have totally swung our way. they don't want to see impeachment, especially in the swing states. i've never seen it swing like this, because people realize it's a total hoax. we had a perfect conversation, it was only a conversation. nothing came out of the conversation except good relationships with ukraine.

and the people see that it's just a continuation of the three-year witch hunt. and i'm looking forward to seeing the i.g. report. pete: you know, this will be litigated in 2020. i mean, he's saying that, witch hunt, democrats are proceeding with their hearings. it will ultimately, the voters will decide who's telling the truth. lisa: and i just want the read one thing from jonathan turley before we move on. he said, you know, talking about obstruction of justice for going to the courts over subpoenas. he said if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it's your abuse of power. basically saying the same people who are accusing president trump of abuse of power are the one who are doing it themselves. ed: yeah. the president mentioned there's another thing coming up monday, that i.g. report we've been waiting for. pete: downplayed in the media. we'll see what comes out. ed: in the meantime, some other headlines. an alabama police officer shot

and killed in the line of duty has now been identified. officer billy -- was gunned down during a drug sting operation. he was shot in the heart. his father was also an alabama officer who, yes, was killed in the line of duty over 40 years ago. tragedy striking twice. and the president saying the united states' relationship with israel is stronger than ever. >> after eight long years in which our alliance was undermined and neglected, i am happy to report that the united states-israeli relationship is stronger now than ever before. ed: the president was down in florida last night highlighting the relationship of the israeli-american council national summit. last year the embassy officially was moved from tel aviv to jerusalem, something the president promised and delivered on. one of the last survivors of the uss arizona a laid to rest with his crew mates on the 78th anniversary of the attack on

ed: a fox news alert, defense secretary mark esper ordering a review of security and vetting procedures for military bases following that shooting in florida. our next guest says this is likely just one step with more likely to come. here to explain, former cia station chief and fox news contributor dan hoffman. good morning, dan. >> morning. ed: let's just start with the procedures that you think maybe need to be beefed up at military bases to deal with the threat of terrorists getting on base. >> well, i think, first of all, we're in incident response phase right now which is, obviously, never where you want to be, to the right of boom, and there's a lot of forensics and work being done to ascertain the motives of the shooter and, apparently, the three accomplices. there's a lot of work to be done there. it looks to me like an insider threat, and i'm sure the department of defense is taking now every measure that they can to improve security.

there are some ongoing questions. the motives behind these individuals, were they radicalized and when that might have happened, how the shooter got his gun on base when we know the security checks aren't 100%, but still, where did he obtain the gun and how and when. there's a lot of questions out there. ed: and what about the fact that he was at rockefeller center, the shooter, just a few days from the tree lighting with other saudi nationals? could that have been a dry run? was this a terror cell? are these some of the questions that trouble you? >> they trouble me, for sure. i think one of the key things, and you point out correctly, is to at ascertain the whereabouts of the shooting and the three accomplices. where were they. the rockefeller center, that's an out of pattern activity, not one you would expect him -- a place where you would expect him to be traveling. that and anywhere else he visited is, obviously, grave concern. as pete mentioned, there are the others out there as well who may be connected with this small cell potentially. ed: all right. dan, let's move on to another

big story that broke overnight yesterday which is the fact that the president was able to secure the release of an american hostage who had been in iran for some three years, a yacht student. the president -- a grad student. the president didn't just hail that, he opened the door potentially to a bigger deal with iran. watch. >> we're very happy to have our hostage back, the princeton university community is very thrilled. actually, i think it was a great thing for iran, i think it was great to show that we can do something. it might have been a precursor as to what could be done. ed: the president famously pulled out of the obama nuclear deal saying it was too weak. do you think -- what are the prospects for a stronger nuclear deal with iran? >> i'd be very cautious about making any determination about that. but what i think that's important here is that the president once again is making clear to the iranians that the offramps here are negotiations. remember, the president decided to stand down on a retaliatory

strike when iran hot down our drone missile -- shot down our drone missile in june of this year. iran has been wracked by protests, and their economy is in freefall. there may be some motivation to come to the negotiating table. the president's making clear we're ready to have those discussions. ed: absolutely. the wang family put out a statement, they're certainly very happy, and we understand why, that he has now come home. the levinson family put out a statement, making sure we don't forget about robert levinson, several other americans held hostage in iran. dan hoffman, appreciate you coming in today. >> thanks. ed: democrats, meanwhile, moving ahead with impeachment in the house. the president demanding a fair trial if it ever gets to the senate. so how would a former college football coach and senate candidate vote? we're going to ask him, coming up. ♪ ed: we'll also get his reaction

booming economy, what are voters looking at? impeachment or these numbers? >> oh, i think they're going to look at these numbers. they could, shouldn't they? i mean, are you joust going to vote -- just going to vote entirely on dislike of the president and his personality? hatred of the president? you're going to vote down this prosperity? if you put a democrat in the white house, all the democrats who are running so far, every single one of them wants to raise taxes and spend more money. what do you think that would do to this prosperity-driven economy? what do you think it would do? it would send it south, bigtime south. i think voters will go with prosperity and go with president trump. and i hope they do, quite frankly. i really hope they to. because there's one thing that can bind america together, it is prosperity. lisa: stuart, there's another topic we would love to hear about. i think you're going to have a couple shots. there's a photo of alexandria ocasio-cortez, and she's lean back right there, and she's saying me waiting on haters to

25,000 lucrative positions that would have come, that's one area she got right. pete: ultimately, there's such an anti-business sentiment with what she's talking about, it overwhelms that small point. >> this anti-business sentiment which is so rife in new york city, of all places, is driving wealthier people out of the city. they are leaving in droves. lisa: right. >> taxes don't help either. they're going to florida bigtime. i don't have the numbers on me right now, but it is an exodus. we need these people in new york city. we need that money. and it's not here. it's being driven out by the aocs of this world. lisa: i didn't think we'd get an apology, but -- [laughter] for those at home, catch "varney & company" on fox business to hear more from stuart varney. stuart, thanks so much for being with us.

univision aviation schools command. joshua watson, a 23-year-old from coffey, alabama, airman mohammad haitham, a 19-year-old from st. petersburg, florida, and a third student not pictured airman apprentice cameron scott walters, a 21-year-old from richmond hill, georgia. the naval air station's commanding officer issued this statement. "the sailors that lost their lives in the line of duty and showed exceptional heroism and bravery in the face of evil, when confronted, they didn't run from danger, they ran towards it and saved lives." navy airman ryan blackwell is one of the eight injured survivors in friday's attack when the gunman fired through his office door, blackwell reportedly shielded a female colleague with his body. blackwell tells the pensacola news journal, "my adrenaline was pumping so much, i was worried about being shot. i was worried about getting us to safety and getting us out of there." the f.b.i. is now officially identifieds shooter as mahmoud a alshamrani a 21-year-old second

lieutenant in the royal saudi air force who was among hundreds of foreign students from allied countries who study aviation at the pensacola base. although guns are banned on the campus not every car that enters is checked. investigators say alshamrani brought a the bun into an aviation classroom building and opened fire. saudi arabia has offered full cooperat.on trump: i spoke with the king of saudi arabia. they are devastated. and we'll find out. we'll get to the bottom of it. >> the f.b.i. is leading the investigation. they're asking anyone with information on the gunman or his activities leading up to the shooting to contact them at 1-800-callf.b.i. back to you. ed: important information, jonathan serrie. mohammad haitham, one of the brave heroes, he tried to stop the shooter, he goes down.

ensign joshua caleb watson. he died and in his final breath he was telling the first responders where this coward terrorist was trying to hide and helped the first responders find the terrorist so he couldn't kill more people. that ensign's dad said he wanted to be in the military since he was 5 years old. pete: it's so important to say the names. the other name is cameron walters, 21, another member of the navy who was killed. as ed so properly said, by this cowardly terrorist motivated -- we now know it's been revealed overnight that this terrorist held a dinner party to watch mass shooting videos the day before the attack. come to my dinner party and watch these mass shootings attacked. also went to new york city, went to the rockefeller tree lighting center ahead of the attack, what was he thinking, why was he doing it, when was he radical radicalized? but anyone that did that and then you know at least one of the fellow saudis was filming the attack and two others in the

car awaiting what happened next. this looks like more than one individual seeking to attack the united states. this looks like a cell. lisa: again you look at the series of events that transpired as you laid out, these four individuals going to new york city, looking at museums, looking at the rockefeller center, then this dinner party watching videos of mass shootings which is incredibly disturbing, and then the day of the attack, one man carrying out the attack, another one videotaping it. two of the individuals watching it in their car. so these four individuals, a series of events together certainly raises questions. were they part of the a larger cell? was it just them? a lot of questions we need answers to. ed: no doubt about it. and whether they were waiting in that car as a getaway car, were they planning other attacks? obviously the f.b.i. is trying to stay on top of all those details. pete: i would just say i would check to see if the president has tweeted whether this is radical islamic terrorism which he should do, by the way, 'cause it's textbook, but i can't because my twitter account has

been banned precisely because i tweeted out the fact that what the terrorist had said the day before on twitter raising osama bin laden. if they can ban me they can ban anyone for simply laying out what the motive was for this islamic terrorist who killed americans. ed: no doubt about it. look. it should be called out for sure sure. lisa: but we have so far the defense secretary is not calling it out, or he's not naming it -- pete: i don't get it. lisa: -- specifically. however, we previously noted, you look at some of the things that this individual has tweeted previously, you know, quoting osama bin laden certainly raises questions about the motivation there, and again we talk about these different series of events that took place with these four individuals. so so many questions -- ed: big story. rick is scott, former florida governor will be on at nine a.m. we have near news alert. the inspector general releasing that highly anticipated report on possible fisa abuse tomorrow,

opening up the investigation into the trump campaign back in 2016 in the first place. remember what this was about. the stakes are high. about whether or not fisa, the surveillance law was misused, abused, whether the fisa court was lied to in order to spy on trump campaign. pete: yeah. a lot of expectations about this report. ed, as you know we've seen leaks about what it may or may not say say. so now we're waiting to see precisely what it would say. now, james comey who could be a target and certainly is someone of interest in this particular investigation. let's play back what he's been saying and claims he's made about the fisa process. >> i have total confidence that the fisa process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by d.o.j. and the f.b.i. i think the notion that fisa was abused here is nonsense. >> a bulk of that fisa application deals with that dossier. why? >> yeah. that's not my recollection, bret bret. and i don't know that the fisa

application has been released 37 my recollection was it was part of a broader mosaic of facts that were laid before the fisa judge. i'm not worried about a single thing in connection with any of the matters under investigation. >> the f.b.i. doesn't spy. the f.b.i. investigators. pete: "a broader mosaic of facts facts." >>i want to point out some things about james comey; right? so we know that there was a criminal referral. the d.o.j. declines to prosecute on leaks to the media. we know that he leaked to a friend information to spur a special counsel investigation. we also know that he told president trump, they had this meeting when he was president elected to talker to him about the more salacious details of the dossier. evidently he knew that the media was looking for a news hook. then the news of this meeting leaked and then it gave the media the opportunity to publish dossier in full. so there are -- not exactly

acted in good faith. ed: the issue looking at the facts fairly as the f.b.i. chief but he's holding up a dossier with the president-elect, an anti-trump dossier paid for by who? the hillary clinton campaign and the d.n.c. and none of that was made clear. and one of the key questions whether that was made clear, the funding source of this to the the fisa court, was it presented to the fisa court? so we just got some facts here. pete: let alone to the president president. and your point is so important . he went there in order to create a predicate for the news to report on the fact that this has been presented to the president in part without a full revelation of what it really meant. lisa: and also we know, i mean, there's been reports that the individuals at the helm of this investigation were warned and knew about the political animus of you christopher steele, yet they still used the dossier in part to obtain a fisa warrant. also one question that i've been dying to know -- and this has been raised both by the new york times as well as daniel hoffman who was on the show earlier -- the dossier could be potential russian disinformation. ed: right. new york times has suggested that. lisa: so don't we want to know

about that? don't we care about russian? pete: who's spending that russian disinformation right now as we march toward impeachment? ed: one of the big discussions now is the fate of james comey and whether or not he's been telling the truth all long. tom homan was on earlier. he worked with comey back in the obama administration. here's what he said. >> he served at the pleasure of the president, and that's just the bottom line. and if i wouldn't have required and stayed the i.c.e. director, and if trump had not won, i would be gone the next day. that's the way the system works. he certainly has been a bad example for the men and women of -- ed: so look you've got the house judiciary committee having their second hearing after the legal scholars that were stacked -- pete: coming tomorrow; right? ed: -- last week tomorrow, in the morning, and at the same time we don't know exactly what time, but tomorrow we'll be getting the justice department inspector general reporting we've been waiting for months and months. and it's finally going to be here. be interesting whether it's a split screen of what's happening on impeachment and what happened

in the run-up to the 2016 campaign and beyond in terms of the beginnings of the russia probe. lisa: pete, do you think the timing is coincidental? pete: i think we've waited so long for the report. i don't know that they timed it to say this will happen when the impeachment investigation is happening. but, my goodness. that alongside the fact that we've got the iowa caucuses coming up in february and we might have all senators who are frontrunners, weak frontrunners on the democrat party wanting to be on the trail but in the senate as jurors? i mean, you can't make up the kind of mix that's coming up in our politics in the next couple months. ed: 2020 is on. here we are. turning on her olds, starting at it fox news alert. an arkansas offer shot and killed execution style. the officer whose name has not been released gunned down in the parking lot of his own station. officers chased the shooter into an alley where he was shot and killed. just hours earlier a houston police sergeant, christopher brewster, was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance. police arrested the shooter who has an extensive criminal record

record. remember an officer killed in alabama in the last 36 hours. three more added, on more than 40 officers shot and killed this year. meanwhile, the minnesota national guard identifying the three soldiers killed in a blackhawk helicopter crash. chief warrant officer charles and sergeant clintonberg returned in may from a nine-month deployment in the middle east. the helicopter went down in a minnesota field during a routine test flight. the cause still under investigation. and this fox news alert. you see these live pictures, tens of thousands of pro-did he smoke protesters flood the streets of hong kong malingering as i mentioned months of demonstrations. earlier police arrested 11 people accusing them of planning to use weapons on innocent protesters to actually flame police officers. again this week marchers were seen carrying flash flags. pete: keep going. god bless you. ed: boris johnson better hope he's on the nice list but he

wants what would be a really good christmas gift. >> i've been a good boy. what do you want for christmas? ed: "i want brexit" he said. johnson ran into santa while campaigning before next week's election. after playing with some kiddies johnson promise to do invest in community soccer leagues if invested. he was playing goalie. now he's kicking the ball. lisa: do you think he's an athlete? ed: skeptical. pete: his hair says he is but his movement says he might not be. i don't feel like soccer will be what the election is ultimately decided on. lisa: no? pete: i think it's maybe something bigger. lisa: you think so? huh. ed: the media says there's enough evidence to impeach president trump. our next guest says this just shows once again they are out of touch with the american people. pete: and saturday night live mocking nancy pelosi for bringing her faith into the impeachment debate. but where are her prayers for

favor of impeachment, and there was a time where editorials like this could move the needle, but unfortunately the media, so many news organizations have become so biased and so untrustworthy that it's really hardly even news anymore. i think millennials and gen-zers might never know a time when these editorials actually have the potential to convince americans because really, you know, all they're serving to do in today's day and age is to confirm the media bias that we already know exi.ts lisa: and let's talk about that media bias. why do you think the media is so why isent to push for impeachment -- insistent to push for impeachm.nt chris:. >> we know the media had it out for president trump before he took office. they have been really working hand in hand with democrats to go down this path -- lisa: why is that, though? >> because he know, you know, so many media is located in these liberal cities. many of them are democrats.

we know that they have supported democrats. you know, they're just not fair news organizations anymore. they're not reporting both sides sides. they're instead really working hand in hand with democrats to push impeachment, which ultimately, at the end of the day, is really unfortunate. they're accusing president trump of abuse of power. there's no worse abuse of power than trying to override the results of the 2016 election. lisa: right. kelsey, thanks for being with u. >> thank you, lisa. lisa: coming up, a fox news alert. we're learning more about the young sailors who died as heroes in the attack on a florida naval air base, as you can see there. this as the f.b.i. works to track down missing saudi service members with possible ties to the attack. this tragedy hits home close to home for our next guess who lost his brother in 9/11 and his son trained at that very base. he joins us live after the break break. stay with us. ♪oh there's no place like home for the holidays.♪

so come ask, shop, discover at your local xfinity store today. ed: good morning. some quick headlines. a pastor on a united airlines flight stung boy a psychotherapy won. the woman says she felt the sting in her seat, finding the creature in her pant leg in the restroom? oh, my. she was not seriously hurt. it's unclear how the scorpion got on board.

and the nypd now confirms the razor found inside a police officer's sandwich was put there by accident. the plane clothes officer was treated for minor cuts. police believe the blade might have been left behind by a construction crew worker in the kitchen, but it's unclear how it got into the sandwich from there there. hmm. pete? pete: turning back to a fox news alert. we're learning more about the young sailors who died as heroes in the terrorist attack at the naval air station in florida. ensign joshua watson, airman mohammad haitham, andarium apprentice cam scott waters -- remember their names -- were killed when a saudi gunman opened fire. our next guest's son trained at the same naval base. he also lost his brother adam to another attack involving saudi arabia, 15 of the 19 hijackers on september 11th. retired lieutenant colonel donald arias joins us now. colonel, thank you so much for joining us this morning. so when you consider what you've

lost and where your son has trained, your reaction to the heroism of americans who lost their lives, but also this radical islamic attack. >> i get very emotional about this. and first off, my heart goes out to these families. i can't say that i know what they're going through, but i kind of do. i lost my own brother to terrorism. and i read the remarks of josh watson's brother and [emotional] he died a hero. lisa: amen. that's all -- pete: that's all you can ask, he was at the naval academy, he was on the rifle squad there, he was at the top of his class in high school. this is the best of the best now wanting to be an aviator, in class, with a foreign student who the nights before was watching films about mass shooting. but yet he reacts with heroism. >> i understand how much work this takes for these young

patriots to get to that point. to get to that elite training ear in pensacola, they really worked their butts off to get here. they work really hard. so we have the best of the best in this elite training, and we have them alongside foreign nationals that we don't know how they're being vetted. now, i know they've called for- for-a-top-to-bottom review of how they vet these people, but, you know, it's modern that, it's not enough. we need a full accounting of who these foreign nationals actually are, what their histories were. so i would ask president trump and sec-def esper get that top to bottom review out of the way of how we actually vet those folks but also a full accounting of the people that we put aside the best our country has -- lisa: colonel, i would also ask why we're not calling it radical islamic terrorism this morning when we know that there were people filming the attack, that the ultimately the attacker had said himself a quote from osama bin laden, he had been watching mass shooting videos. so how important is it that we

define this enemy? even if we have a strategic relationship with saudi arabia on military to military relationships, something like this looks like it was planned and intentionally to kill americans. >> prior to this administration we lived through eight years of political correctness where we got rid of all references to islamic terror in training materials for the f.b.i., et cetera. it's time we put that back in there. it's also -- lisa: amen. >> -- time that, you know, the saudi prince, you know, come forward and, you know, he says he's sorry, he says he's anger, he says he loves america. that's not enough. if he really loves america and he really means that, he needs full disclosure, full disclosure to these families about who these foreign nationals were that he put alongside our best and brightest. you know, we waited years and we're still waiting, 9/11 families waited years to get information on 9/11.

three months after 9/11, you know, our government knew that saudi officials aided and abetted the 9/11 mirages, but it took ten years to get that information. we can't have that. lisa: you've given so much. what is the one thing our government, white house needs to do right now as it pertains to this attack? >> i think we need to reevaluate our relationship with saudi arabia. i think we need to reevaluate who we let train alongside our best and brightest. and make no doubt about it, you know, saudi arabia may or may not be our friend, but they'll never be a true ally. lisa: there's a lot of reasons for that. lieutenant colonel, thank you very much for your service, for the sacrifice of your family, your son and his service as well well. clearly a lot of patriotism runs in your family. sir, thank you very much. more -- >> thank you. lisa:. pete: fox & friends on the other

attack here in pensacola. all of them students at naval aviation school's command. they include ensign joshua watson, a 23-year-old from coffey ran towards it and save ised lives. navy airman ryan blackwell is one of a eight injured survivors in friday's attack. when the gunman fired through his office door, blackwell reportedly shielded a female colleague with his body. he tells the pensacola news journal, my adrenaline was pumping so much, i was worried about getting us to safety and getting us out of there. the fbi has officially identified the shooter as mohammed al-shamrani, a 23-year-old second lieutenant -- 21-year-old second lieutenant in the royal saudi air force. although guns are banned on base, not every car that enters is checked, and investigators say al-shamrani brought a gun into an aviation classroom building and opened fire friday morning.

saudi arabia has pledged its full cooperation with the investigation. >> reporter: and the fbi is leading the investigation. they are asking anyone with information on the shooter or the activities leading up to the shooting to contact at 1-800-call-fbi. back to you. ed: jonathan serrie, thank you. let's go straight to dan bongino, fox news contributor, former secret service agent, former nypd officer as well. author of exonerated." good morning, dan. >> good to see you. ed: i want to start, there are a lot of places we could start, but i want to underline what scrn than was reporting about the heroes, not the terrorists. mohamed hatham tried to stop the

shooter before he, ultimately, died. ensign watson was going through his final breaths, and he used those to tell the first responders where this terrorist was, where his location was so they could find him and stop him. these are heroes, dan. >> yeah. you know, there's no question. and there was, one of the police officers, supervisors involved in the incident locally was giving a press conference, and he said something, ed, that really, you know, stung. in a heart-wrenching way but in kind of a bad way too. he said, listen, you know, most of us sadly a week from now if asked to remember the names of the victims won't. that's horrible, but he's probably right. he said, you know what? for the families who lost these heroes, these patriots who gave everything, they'll never take another breath again, in defense of their country bravely and honorably, their families will remember that day for the rest of their lives. nothing will ever be the same for them. and, you know, that really stung me because it was eloquent, and it's absolutely true.

they gave everything they had, their last brett in defense of this -- breath in defense of this cub to protect americans against this savage. pete: god bless. go ahead. lisa: you look at these four saudi military students who reportedly went to new york city to look at rockefeller, they had a dinner party looking at video of mass shootings, and the day of the attack, the attacker who went on a murderous rampage, another individual who is reportedly videotaping it and two individuals out in the car watching, what does that tell you? >> you know, there's a couple of takeaways here. number one, this was obviously an abomination of a vetting failure. listen, i was a secret service agent overseas in probably well over 30 countries, and i was the lead advance on three foreign trips where i was running the show. we put a lot of faith in our foreign partners whether in the military, secret service, fbi or elsewhere, and we are relying on those foreign partners to partner us with people who are

reliable. they partnered us with a terrorist and a killer. and, listen, the d.c. garbage has got to stop. i don't know if you know this, but twitter's been taking down posts if you repost the twitter account aligned with the terrorist who was posting this awful manifesto -- pete: oh, i know about it, dan, because they did my account -- >> oh, i know you do. we were locked out because we reposted it. isn't america entitled to see what may be associated with in this man, this horrible ideology? this is not an indictment of anybody's religion, it's an indictment of a savage killer -- pete: 100%, dan. so jonathaner serrie gave us a report, and he said northcom has upped their security level, to which i say, who cares? the reality is just because you have more security guards at the gate doesn't make you more secure to an insider threat like in this from radical islamists. we also have not heard from the white house calling this radical

islamic terrorism. why are we hesitating at this moment to call it what it is? >> you know, pete, it's one of the puzzling questions of our time, why certain people in the media, liberals and certain people in the establishment just refuse to call it what it is. i mean, it's -- just look at the evidence. it's overwhelming. it'd be like having a videotape of a guy robbing a bank and a confession and then saying let's not call it a bank robbery, let's call it an unauthorized transaction. [laughter] i mean, it's just, why are we playing these -- i don't understand why the verbal judo has to constantly take place with the politically correct atmosphere that's infiltrated our law enforcement. by the way, you've been covering it all morning. this is not new. lisa: why do you think -- >> it's been indoctrinated into this -- pete: you're totally right. the system's been infected by political correctness. you can't say the word. if you are, you're shouted down as opposed to listened to.

>> yes. and, pete, it's an infantilization of our military and law enforcement. what it is, it's, well, if we do that, it's going to appear to be islamophobia. there is no epidemic of islamophobe what in the united states. there are idiots who engage in that type of stuff, it's not -- pete: amen. >> i wish we'd gotten rid of all of it, we haven't, but this is not a massive epidemic in the freest, greatest country in the world where we welcome everyone. this is an indictment of terrorism, not people who are muslim. like, get it through your heads, leftists. nobody is saying what you think we're saying. we are worried about our kids and a terrorism epidemic. stop con freighting it -- conflating it with the americans, oh, there's going to be a mass outbreak of islamophobia, that's not happening. pete: it hasn't happened in 18 years, dan. we've been fighting this, and it hasn't happened. instead, we've fought the islamic state and destroyed it while being peace-loving, tolerant people here at home, yet our twitter accounts are

shut down when we expose the reality of the filth that comes out of the minds of these cowards and terrorists. >> and, pete, it is these terrorists, yeah, terrorists that are killing more muslims. they're killing muslims. we're the ones trying to stop this stuff. it's just the political correctness is out of control, and i've got to tell you, i'm glad you mentioned the security thing. i don't want to filibuster here but, listen, when i got into the secret service, i had to take a full scale polygraph, and let me tell you, those things are damn hard to beat if you get a good one. it is about time we subject them to the same standards our federal agents is are. lisa: dan, again, the fact that these individuals went to new york, they were looking at museums, at rockefeller, i mean, how planned and how complainted do you think this is in your estimation? >> well, obviously, it looks like there was some preplanning attack here where they were looking at potential other targets. i mean, i doubt he was up there celebrating christmas, i mean,

given what happened, obviously. i mean, it looks like some of the signs may be there. then we have the story about watching attack videos the night before. i mean, nobody reported this? there had to be some sign. apparently, he traveled back to saudi arabia, some indications he may have been radicalized. obviously, at this point this was a huge vetting failure. pete: yeah. >> can i mention one more thing? this whole thing about our military folks not being allowed to carry guns on base, it's absurd. this is ridiculous. it's not a question how he got the gun, why he got the gun, the only question is bad guys get guns no matter what. that's what makes them bad guys. are you going to be able to defend yourself against that bad guy or not? period. that's the only question. cut the snowflake nonsense. defend yourself. the second amendment matters. don't rely on anybody else to do it for you. ed: all right, dan. we started this off by saying you served with the nypd. obviously, the fact that the terrorists and his associates, whoever they are and may be, the fbi's still searching for others, were here in new york

city ahead of new year's eve, times square, all the high alert -- pete: and two sheriff's deputies went in, ultimately, because they were the ones armed and shot this terrorist. they were shot themselves. god bless those guys. ed: dan bongino, appreciate you coming in. lisa: thank you, dan. ed: fox news alert -- [inaudible] three police officers shot and killed in the line of duty in the last two days alone in america. an unnamed arkansas officer gunned down -- yeah, an unnamed gunned down yesterday execution style in the parking lot of his own station. officers chased the shooter into an alley where he was shot and killed. earlier there was someone who was named, houston police sergeant chris brewster, shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance. you see him on the screen. an alabama officer the day before was shot and killed, that was friday. there have now been 41 officers shot and killed in the line of duty in america this year. you see that number still

growing. the president, meanwhile, celebrating the return to america of a graduate student. he was a hostage in iran. the president tweeted: thank you to iran on a very fair negotiation. he added: see? >> we can make a deal together. wang, who had been in captivity for three years, is now being medically evaluated in germany, could be back in the states as early as tonight. one of the last survivors of the uss arizona laid to rest with his crew mates on the 78th anniversary of the attack on pearl harbor. navy sailor loren bruner died at age 98, expected to be the very last person buried in the wreckage which still lies off the hawaiian coast. he was one of dozens of world war ii vets honored during yesterday's remembrance ceremony.

ultimately given. zelensky did not know aid had even been withheld, and aid was withheld originally, what did mike pence say? because of the extreme corruption in the ukraine before president zelensky got elected. after he got elected, he came in and he proved -- he changed parliament, he changed prosecutors, he did everything right. and that's when the aid was released. end of story. so because they have nothing, now -- to answer your question -- what do they want to do? oh, we have to find out what was in the president's mind in well, the president's made it very clear what was in his mind, no quid pro quo. he has said that over and over and over. and now what do they continue to do? you know, i don't know if you saw yesterday what nadler released. nadler released this, basically -- lisa: can i ask you about that? >> sure, lisa. lisa: they say that the president can be impeached for illegitimate motives even if the actions are illegally

permissible. is this an admission that there's not a legal basis for their case? >> oh, lisa, of course it is. that's exactly what it is. you're right on point because they have nothing, and they've had nothing. they brought in their legal professors, and we saw what a utter disaster those people were. and, you know, lisa, i firmly believe they're only going forward now because they have the political power to do so, because the democrats control the house. but you know what's happening now? they're not wondering how many republicans they can get on their side, they're scared to death about how many democrats they can keep. ed: yeah. >> because they are losing democrats. they're throwing the whole kitchen sink at the president, basically. ed: real quick, the republican doug collins is saying he wants to get adam schiff, the whistleblower, democrats keep shutting that down. what's your take on that? >> oh, we all -- the president has made it very clear, so has the white house counsel, we want to hear from adam schiff, we

wonder if i'm safe here. and think about the people that live around these bases. ed: yeah. >> they've got to be safe. the saudi government has got to step up and say they will be in full cooperation, they will make sure every student sits down with the fbi and gives all the information so we know exactly what happened here. ed: senator, on that point -- >> it's disgusting this happened. ed: it is. we grieve for everybody in our state right now, and we're glad that you started out mentioning that. you also just mentioned the saudi government. you're a republican senator. has this white house been too gentle with the saudis? >> well, clearly, we've been a partner. i mean, look at, you know, we're sending more patriot missile systems, we're clearly defending them. they've been an ally, but they've got to, you know, they have to step up here. i mean, they -- i mean, the fact that the fbi has not been able, the reports say the fbi's not been able to talk to every, you know, airman. i mean, that's -- you can't

imagine that. i mean, if the saudi government is oural high and our partner -- our ally and our partner, they will make sure ins full cooperation. not one airman needs to leave this country until there's a complete investigation, and they've got to be very supportive for everybody that's done anything wrong. if the reports are right that individuals were looking at these videos, that's disgusting. and that somebody was filming them, it's disgusting -- pete: first of all, you're right to point out the heroes, and god bless these men who lost their lives fighting to save other people. and you're also right to point out the geopolitical strategic relationship we have with saudi arabia vis-a-vis iran. but when it comes to this attack and what we know about saudi arabia, shouldn't we be calling this out for what it is, radical islamic terrorism -- >> there's no question. president -- a planned attack of service members. >> there's no question what it is. it's terrorism, it's radical islam. and, you know, the saudi government needs to do the same thing. they need to say this is disgusting, we are going to do everything we can to get to the

bottom of this, we're going to make sure every airman, everybody that's over here is going to have full cooperation with the fbi. so, and i mean, right now if you hear the stories, the stories are they haven't been able to talk to everybody. that's wrong. lisa: well, and, senator, you're calling for security and looking at what took place here, but, look, we know that this naval base specifically four or five years ago already beefed up their security. so why did that fail? >> we got, we absolutely -- i mean, i talked to the captain about that yesterday. we've got to find out. i know the sheriff is very focused, sheriff morgan is focused on making sure everything is safe in escambia county, not just on the base, but outside the base. we've got to have full cooperation. you know, i have a bill, you know, to make sure with the fbi that there's full cooperation. when i talked to them yesterday, they said everybody is working well together. we've got to make sure that's happening. but right now we need to have a full review, we need to, you know, suspend these programs

until we know that everybody's going to be safe. i don't want one military member on their bases to be unsafe because of a foreign national. ed: senator, we're getting these reports, pardon me, about rockefeller center was visited by this terrorist and some of his accomplices, it appears. they were videotaping it. as lisa's been talking about it all morning, you referenced that, i believe, a moment ago. do you have concerns -- i don't want to get ahead of the facts, but do you have concerns there could be some kind of terror cell that was scouting out other sites in america and that this is not isolated to pensacola? >> we don't, you know, unfortunately, we don't know. but what we do know is we have to do a thorough review, we need to suspend this program, and we need to make sure the foreign governments, start with the saudi government, they need to be very clear they're going to make sure everybody cooperates, they will not, not one of the citizens that has anything to do with this will be brought home until they're brought to justice if they've done, if they've done anything wrong. pete: senator, we know you've been visiting victims in the hospital and ongoing with

briefings with the military and federal and local law enforcement. thank you for everything you're doing to respond, and keep us updated, and our prayers are with everyone in florida. >> thank you. lisa: thank you, senator. >> thanks. ed: we appreciate him coming in. other headlines starting with this fox news alert, peace talks with the taliban. the state department says negotiations are continuing this week in qatar. both sides, i'm sorry, will discuss reducing violence, afghanistan's political future and permanent ceasefire. the president called off the meeting earlier this year after taliban militants claimed responsibility for a bombing that killed an american soldier. a deadly -- [inaudible] just steps away from the home of mexico's president. four people killed after the shooter entered an apartment building right near the house. opening fire when he was confronted by residents. the shooter was killed by a police officer. president obrador was not in the city at the time. to another fox news alert, tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters flooding the streets of hong

wrongdoing that has already been done, they relied on the dossier to wiretap an innocent american citizen, paid for by the other political party, hillary clinton paying for dirt on donald trump to take down donald trump, and they actually got a nice a warrant to do so. we know -- fisa warrant to do so. we know they renewed that warrant three times. james comey signed three of them, andrew mccabe signed another application, and then it was cosigned by sally yates, rod rosenstein, all of those names will be in that report tomorrow, and it is clear that we are going to see some stunning revelations about how the fbi and the cia investigated donald trump, spied on his campaign in an effort to take him down. and at the crux of it was his opponent, hillary clinton. lisa: maria, do you think there's any legitimate basis for the origin toes of the investigation? >> i do not. i think that the origins of the investigation included then inserting donald trump's name, i

think that this was all about an easy to do situation, we knew that russia was meddling in the west, has been for decades. it was an easy attempt at inserting donald trump's name in there, and he had absolutely nothing to do with it. he was, in fact, framed in 2016. ed: a lot of people in the media have chosen to ignore this story. you sunk your teeth into it early on, so it sounds like you've got a big show. maria: we're going to break some news, because i've got not only senator lindsey graham who's, obviously, going to be having the witness of michael horowitz on wednesday, ken mccarthy -- kevin mccarthy, house minority leader, telling us what the meeting will look like, devin nuñes is going to weigh in on the impeachment as well as the i.g. report. and then, this is the man at the center of all of this, carter page, former trump 2016 campaign advisers, he was the one who was
