the goalwagalloway started emptg out. starting going over and over again. are they just repeating each other. just use that person to yell at somebody else while yelling and not letting that person answer. both sides got zero accomplished. nothing was exposed. nothing was moved forward. both agendas moved forward and today we will end up with two articles of impeachment. ainsley: divided down party lines. yesterday the ig report came out and finding out what's going on there. brian: 434 pages. steve: jason chaffetz on that in a moment. go down to griff jenkins. a fox news alert. griff, it sounds like at 9:00 this morning. the democrats are going to have -- they are going to have a press conference and they are going to announce what jerry nadler, who we just saw right, there had talked about with nancy pelosi last night in 9:00 meeting. griff: exactly, steve, ainsley, brian, good morning. speaker pelosi is convening

the chairman of those committees, nadler, schiff, ingle, waters and the like. abuse of power obstruction of justice two articles that will be unveiled today. this is after really that committee, which i made until about 1:00 or 1:30, brian. until i couldn't take anymore it. just devolved into vicious partisan fighting. >> is this when we just hear staff ask questions of other staff and members get dealt out of the whole hearing next four hours fly to overturn election. >> the gentleman will suspend. >> in the end they arrived basically where they began. ranking member collins making closing arguments. >> president trump violated his oath to the american people. he placed his own private interest ahead of our national security. >> and at the end of the day, all this is about is about a clock and a calendar because they can't get over the fact donald trump is president of the united states and they don't have a candidate that they think can beat him.

griff: after the white house blasted the hearing saying the president did nothing wrong. that doesn't stop the march to impeachment. the markup where the articles are written in the judiciary committee. we will see that probably this week. vote on them. and then it's off to the house floor for full historic vote possibly before christmas. guys? steve: thank you very much, griff, it does not sound as if the senate will take it up before the new year. brian: they want us to have a good feeling going foot holiday. it will be fantastic. ainsley: 100 hours of testimony, 17 witnesses. steve: somebody who watch it all we pay them to watch, jason chaffetz. former congressman chairman and house oversight committee, he joins us now. what did you make of griff's report that it sounds like two articles of impeachment will be unveiled later today based on what we have heard so far? >> isn't that stunning that here we are on this tuesday morning? we don't exactly know what the impeachment is going to be. but they are going to

supposedly by the end of the week start marking it up? and yesterday what a debacle. when you have members of congress and staff asking staff questions. by the way, you know, i'm going to write your performance review. let me ask you a question about your impression on impeachment. come on. that doesn't pass even -- you wouldn't do that in 3rd grade and this is the united states congress run by jerry nadler and nancy pelosi? what a joke. steve: that's one of the reasons people hate washington. when you saw the guy was a witness at one point and next thing you know and apparently it was revealed later that he was a donor as well. when you look at what they have got to do. they have got to attract the moderate democrats to be favorable to voting for obstruction. and things like that. can they do it? >> well, i think their poll numbers are subsiding. they are in decline. the nancy pelosi that i saw close and personal for 8 and a half years she isn't doing anything without a polster and focus group. i think those numbers are coming down so fast.

i think congressman collins was spot on. it's about speed and it's about getting through the calendar as fast as possible. i think it's just a distraction. they haven't been doing the usmca. brian: tuesday in mexico city, big guy. steve: big guy? brian: he's tall. >> i think congressman gaetz asked. so best questions and made the best points about the opportunity cost of what they are doing instead of this charade trying to impeach the president. ainsley: first said bribery and quid pro quo because of a focus group who said that's not resonating go with bribery. that's not one of the charges. watch this flashback of them accusing the president of bribery. >> the devastating testimony corroborated evidence of bribery. >> it goes right to the heart of the issue of bribery. >> this is a very strong case of bribery. >> it's bribery. >> you can call this

extortion, call it bribery. it's all the same thing. >> might even be bribery. >> bribery. >> bribery. >> it's bribery. brian: so it's not supposedly in the first two articles of impeachment obstruction of conscious and abuse of power. no bribery. >> i don't know what it is. we still don't know definitively, wait for the press conference and have nancy pelosi, you know, put her finger to the wind yeah smells like this today. ainsley: do they have a case of obstructions of congress because they're mad at him for blocking testifying in the impeachment proceedings and prernsd the ukraine president. >> the president put out the transcript. you can read it for yourself. i think it's perfectly fine. as it relates -- i think attorney turley, professor turley put that out there very clearly. just because you want to go to the courts, you disagree with a subpoena being issued, does not mean that you are obstructing congress. i sat there for 8 navarro years. i was the chairman of the

oversight committee for two and a half years. i have got to tell you the obama administration obstructed us every single day in terms of witnesses and documents it. is a daily occurrence and it happened in democratic administrations as well. and it's a joke. it's not evidence there. brian: real quick. i want to get your take on a theory out there that nancy pelosi, being that she is a political chess player, might say i am going to wait on actually pushing this forward until i get a court to decide whether mulvaney, pompeo and others and bolton are forced to testify? do you think -- do you see that happening? >> i don't think -- it's questionable as to whether or not they can win this vote. they have pushed this down into a cul-de-sac where there is almost a point notify return. maybe the courts is a way she can get out of this. can i see that scenario. ainsley: reading the ig report yesterday, it is unbelievable there were 17

inaccuracies or omissions when they presented their case to the fisa court. steve: convenient. ainsley: they never told the fisa court judges who paid for the dossier. that was hillary clinton's campaign and the d.c. they never told the fisa court that steele had lied in the past and had, quote, poor judgment. they never told steele's primary source was a boaster known to embellish and later cast doubt on the dossier. never told judges that steele was a dispirit trump never get elected. fbi lawyer doctored evidence to create a false negative impression of carter page. these facts were they membershipped to mislead the court? brian: add one more thing carter page, they never said carter page was working for the cia. >> somebody who read inspector general reports for a living for 8-plus year. ainsley: god bless you. >> this is as as it gets. over 1,000 pages detailing the upper echelon of the fbi

for their personal purposes. the wrong purposes excoriating. it was absolutely devastating. ainsley: judges usually sign off because they trust their source, the fbi agents. >> i think this is what is infuriating. we haven't seep justice. now the inspector general has made at least 9 referrals to the department of justice. but i was very buoyed up and excited to see attorney general barr give his take on it. but, also, the prosecutor, mr. durham, indicate that, hey, there is a whole lot more here to come. is the one that can actually put handcuffs on somebody and prosecute somebody. but i look forward tomorrow to hear from horowitz about how bad it was at the department of justice and the fbi how they membershipped this data. it was so bad. steve: chris wray, the director of the fbi did say yesterday yeah we accept the recommendations of the ig and we will make changes. you mentioned john durham, the u.s. attorney from connecticut who is looking into all of this stuff, he

disagrees with the findings and says while our investigation is ongoing last month we advised the inspector general we do not agree with the report's conclusions predication and how the fbi case was open. and that is because they base so much of the fisa application on the steele dossier which they found out later was just a bunch of made up stuff. once they realized it they never said, by the way, judge, that's a bunch of made-up stuff. >> also indication this may expand much further than just the fbi. because durham can be looking at the cia and others. the other thing that just made me nuts about this thing is the idea that they did not give defense briefings to donald trump the candidate and to president trump. they kept that information from him. they are supposed to be protecting that person. we give them secret service. we give them cia briefings. the idea that he did not so

wrong. steve: they said there was no political bias. they couldn't get anybody to admit to. >> well, look. we have thousands of texts. you can read it in their own words. the one thing that i disagree with horowitz and i look at it is how could there not be political bias? why is it that every time something turns it's always against donald trump? it never goes in his favor. brian: a couple of things. they say that after those emails were hacked and released by john podesta couple days later ambassador shows up i heard this from this guy in the spring from george papadopoulos about the emails and russia and the trump campaign and that helps launch this whole investigation. and the i 4 people flynn, papadopoulos, manafort and carter page. at that time this is the key moment. bill prestep says i don't think i should give a defensive briefing because i don't want to tip off a potential russian

infiltration. now, if you are bill prestep and you have chris christie and rudy giuliani on the roster for donald trump. two people with impeccable reputations with the department of justice, why wouldn't you call them in and say this is the deal? then you call in the candidate trump, and this whole thing could have stopped in july. it seems to me, even though i have never conducted an investigation like this, this is basic human logic. >> they should have gone to donald trump one-on-one and explained the situation. he is the candidate. we protect that person. i think donald trump would have looked at him and say i don't know who george papadopoulos is, i don't know who carter page is i don't know who they are. get them the hell out of here. i think that could have solved a lot of problems. they did that for dianne feinstein when they had a chinese national sitting next to her and treated hillary clinton totally different. i think they had it in more donald trump and they wanted to go after him even after he was sworn in.

brian: i think they believe that donald trump and russia were colluding and they are refusing to say that. because to say papadopoulos who donald trump met once, carter page who he never met, michael flynn who has this incredible record who rips russia in his book never would see -- this guy just gave his country the best years of his life, 31 years, to think that he is going to be a russian agent and then paul manafort got fired the day the ukrainian story was in the "new york times." he would have gotten rid of him. this whole thing would have been done and we would have had no problems. >> that's right. that's why i said every single time they have these opportunities, they went outside their normal protocol. they did not act the way they should. and now after 1,000 pages of reports from the inspector general, it's time for durham and barr to actually charge some people. because you can't go in and membership emails and present that to the court and that's the other part. where is the court at this point? i don't know of any other court in the land where can you lie to them and membership them, making 17 serious errors and omissions

and not have some repercussion. the court needs to stand up for its court as well. steve: lindz is i graham said last night this is how j. edgar hoover used to operate. yeah, there you go. ainsley: thank you, jason. >> thank you. steve: exactly 14 minutes now after the top of the hour on this tuesday as democrats go all-in on impeachment at 9:00 this morning. battle ground support for the president is next surging. ainsley: is it time the democrats change their tactics? inside the brand new polling next ♪ ♪ ♪

a big sample size 1700 voters. innovating text to text technologiment all o all of the experts have said our data is really good. trump has been losing all three states to biden and other democrats. new survey we just released this week at firehouse strategies.com this was the first time that trump is not only winning but he is surging in these states. i think it's tied directly to what the congressional democrats are doing on. we can. brian: first question you asked is what do you think about impeachment in michigan? are new favor of it 50.8% are in favor -- voters opposing impeachment wisconsin even greater. 57.9 and pennsylvania 52.2. and then you ask head to head how do they do? let's take a look first at

michigan, head-to-head trump beats biden by 5. trump beats sanders by 6. trump beats warren by 9. in pennsylvania trump over sanders by 11. trump over biden by 4. trump over warren by 7. and lastly wisconsin, trump beats biden by. sanders by 13. and warren by 12. look at these numbers and how different are they from september? >> yeah. i mean, there has just been a big shift. we partner with the data firm optimists on this. and the way that they look at these numbers. they say that this shift is really really surprising. the numbers were so consistent all year trump was trailing a little bit. and now we have seen this big surge for him in the wake of impeachment. a number you didn't mention about two thirds of the voters in those states that we polled say they want congressional democrats to focus on issues, not impeachment. and i think if you look at the actions of congressional leadership right now, how they are trying to rush it out of the house, i think it's because they know it's

a political loser as evidenced in these numbers. brian: nancy pelosi is supposed to be so savvy has to be hit in the face by these numbers. it's not just firehouse it's others. doesn't seem to be a political winner to be conservative. alex thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: stormed onto the nation's stage by taking on beto o'rourke. >> we want to know how you are going to legislate that because a criminal by defense breaks the law. brian: now this gun owner wants to bring her second amendment message to capitol hill. her big announcement coming up. ♪ we rock ♪ this town ♪ we gonna rock ♪ . it's innovative. my go to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair.

steve: in that soundbite montage you were saying to beto o'rourke hell no you are not going to take my gun, correct? >> correct. steve: what was the reaction after did you that. >> we had extreme support just overtake us. everyone was coming to us and thanking me for stepping up. and do you know when i went down there, i was nervous but i had to put that aside. i felt that it was a very selfish thing to not step up on behalf of millions of americans all across this country. so, i drove three hours from rifle, with my glock on my hip, i grabbed the microphone and looked him in the eye and told him hell no you are not going to take our guns. steve: there you go. it went viral. and now you want to be a u.s. congresswoman. tell us, you are also currently a very successful business woman. tell us about your restaurant shooters grill. >> shooters grill has been open for more than six years now in rifle, colorado. all of our wait staff open carry firearms. we didn't start out as an open carry restaurant.

we just started as a western themed restaurant and we wanted to serve really great food to our customers. there was an altercation behind our building in our back alley where a man was actually physically beat to death. so that immediately prompted the question how why defend my people? that day i researched colorado gun laws and i began to open carry to do exactly that. protect my people. soon after that my waitresses approached me and asked if they could carry as well. they already had their conceal carry permits. guns in their back in their purses. we all agreed we did not want unintended firearms in purses in the back. they began to carry their firearms as well. steve: they did. that is probably the safest restaurant to eat as in the state of colorado. >> i like to think so. steve: why is it you want to go to washington, d.c.? you have been watching what's going on with this impeachment thing and with the inspector general report on the fisa collusion and russia and all that stuff.

why do you want to get tangled up in that? >> i feel that it's very selfish not to. i feel that i have to. i'm a mother of four boys. i have done what i could with what i have to raise them the best that i can. and i feel that there is a mandate upon my life to prepare the world that i'm going to send them out into. i have been on the ground doing the work with the people of colorado. we have participated in recalls and petitions. national popular vote petitions. and late term abortion petitions. and we have begged our representation in colorado to come and help us. and the only response that we received is they were focused on 2020 elections. so now i am focused on 2020 elections. steve: there you go. all right. she is running for the third district in colorado. lauren bow better. thank you for joining us live from denver. >> thank you for having me. god bless america.

probable cause but it was based on a bunch of junk. let's bring in ian prior he served as doj spokesman when the special counsel began its probe. he joins us from d.c. ian, what is your headline regarding the ig report that we have been waiting for for so long? >> my headline for the ig report is less what's in the ig report and more about what john durham said about the ig report. he said that look, i disagree with some of the conclusions here. my investigation, which is not limited, like the inspector general, has turned up things that are quite different from what the inspector general said about the of the investigation. john durham, this is a serious prosecutor. this is not somebody who is partisan or political. he is nicknamed the bull. he has gone after the math i can't. he has gone after the clan. he led the investigation into the fbi's protection whitey bulger. this is a very serious prosecutor. and for him to come out with that statement, that means he's got the goods on somebody. brian: ian, i'm just wondering a couple of things

come to mind. the international aspect and the verification of it would stephan halper the professor joseph mifsud the international agent, professor, we're not sure what he does. he doesn't follow through. he doesn't think that was part of a massive plot to try to lure in papadopoulos or carter page. even though halper was hired to elicit information from both of those men. they didn't see any massive thing any conspiracy around that do you think durham is on to something different being that he did the traveling, he went to italy and so did the attorney general? >> well, two points on that. first, i think horowitz said that he didn't have any documentary evidence of that. so he didn't have a smoking gun. unlike adam schiff who will go wherever. brian: he dismissed it. >> i understand that going back to durham for a second. durham can do these things. durham is not limited in scope to existing department

of justice or fbi officials. durham can subpoena former employees, former doj members. durham can go and look at what the cia was doing. what the nsc was doing. what foreign countries were doing. durham's scope is so much bigger than what horowitz can do that it's clear to me from that statement that his ability to go beyond the inspector general has really given him a leg up and probably has given him something that we're going to see. ainsley: he has greater investigative authority. he says he has information from other people both inside and outside the united states. when can we expect his report to come down and what do you think is in it? because it's now become a value investigation. >> well, you know, i think you are going to see indictments. again, the fact that he came out with this statement at this time makes me think that he is pretty far along. i wouldn't expect it, you know, certainly before the spring. but i would think that somewhere before september 1st. because september 1st is sort of that 60-day unspoken rule at the department of justice where you don't come out with politically charged

indictments 60 days before an election. so if there is something that is going to come out of this, i would think the summer. brian: christopher wray has ordered 40 corrective steps that will be addressed after reading the report. does show the fbi was right to launch the investigation and do you believe the fbi was right to launch the investigation? >> quite frankly i don't know yet. i want to wait until i see what comes out of the durham investigation before i can speak definitively on that. certainly the way that they conducted the investigation, big problem for america. steve: all right. ian prior, joining us from d.c. today. ian, thank you. ainsley: thank you, ian. >> thank you. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. >> that's right. thank you. following a number of stories beginning with. this another parent now charged in the college admission scheme and her son could lose his degree from georgetown university. karen littlefair admitted to paying $9,000 to have someone take online courses for him. while he has not been charged, the university hasn't ruled out revoking his degree. dozen of parents including

even permitted to examine any behavior by the intelligence community. just law enforcement. here's my take. the problem is fisa itself. when you have a secret court that writes its own rules and makes its own standards that conflicts with the constitution, when you have fbi agents who know that the fisa court will issue, this number is staggering, 99.97% of all requested search warrants, you can understand why they are lazy, they don't corroborate, they cut corners. not all fbi agents and not all the time. what we saw yesterday in that 434 page report, was the first time in history that fisa was scrutinized for the public. it's been around since 1978. if i issue a search warrant, when i was on the bench and state police came to me and signed affidavits to persuade me there should be surveillance and surveillance on the person they got arrested. their lawyer would see what the state police gave me and they could challenge it. but in fisa, there is no defendant.

there is no challenge. nobody sees this stuff. steve: judge, in this case, the fbi agents took the steele dossier and said hey, judge, look at this. even though they would later find out that the steele dossier was largely uncorroborated. >> the fbi is obliged under something called the woods procedure. named after non-retired and revered fbi agent whose last name was woods. basically says when you have a continuing investigation. and did you go back to judges asks for more authority, you must corroborate the accuracy of what you are telling those judges. steve: update. >> update every time you go. ainsley: will anyone be held accountable? will the rules change? >> change fbi director already. if anybody be held accountable. i don't know. it's up to john durham if anybody -- grand jury if anybody gets indicted. brian: read the summary. christopher steele has a differing take on what his job was as opposed to what the fbi thought christopher steele's job was. it's in there. totally bizarre.

they are all running from the hills. >> christopher steele stuff that is blacked out that is redacted in there. brian: i was able to see through it. i got special vision. [laughter] >> what did you see? brian: i can't tell you. thanks, judge. mosul the man behind it a former cia officer. steve: in the running for an oscar. that filmmaker joins us live with what it's like to be a conservative in hollywood. that's coming up next. most? this is the epson ecotank color printer. no more buying cartridges. big ink tanks. lots of ink. print about... this many pages. the epson ecotank. just fill and chill.

steve: democracy 2020, talk about the horse race for people who would like to be the president of the united states. there is a new poll out. ainsley: unbelievable. steve: harris harvard poll they talked about 2,000 registered democrats. and guess who tops out? it's actually somebody who is not running for president. ainsley: hillary clinton beats joe biden. she got 21%. people said they would choose her. brian: followed by joe biden. with just 1 point off and guess what. guess who is fifth? mike bloomberg. no mayor pete anywhere. meanwhile joe biden has one question that dogs him. every time he gets this question he gets angry. how dare you ask me this. about his son hunter biden. he said hey, by the way. the more i think about it. it's not my fault that there is a conflict -- an

appearance of a conflict of hunter while i'm in charge of the ukrainian policy for the obama administration. someone should have told me. listen to biden's reaction to that question. >> nobody warned me about conflict of interest. nobody warned me about that. steve: interesting. so he is talking about nobody at the white house warned him but you know what? given the fact that so many people from the obama white house have now turned their attention to mr. buttigieg from indiana. have you got to wonder if some of those people who did warn mr. biden are going to come out of woodwork and say what's he talking about? we told him on december 5th, blah blah blah, just that an appearance of a conflict of interest. >> asked yes we did warn him. we told him. brian: in july a new yorker profile. amos, the obama administration special envoy for energy policy raised concerns about biden about hunt's burisma. george kent raised concerns

within vice president biden while he was still there doing it. a little problem with that follow-up story. does he have any staffers that might want to run through a briefing on how to handle hunter biden yell at people. challenging him to pushup contests. aren't really effective. >> we will find out if it's hurting him. let us know if you think hillary clinton will get in the race. >> i think that's the headline. she said a couple days ago in the u.k. that she has been deluged with requests. please run. ainsley: she wants to win again. a big show on deck. acting cbp commissioner mark morgan and kim strassel. they are both here live this morning. ♪ ♪ urance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started.

steve: you are lucky. ainsley: get straight to the news. fox news alert that is fast push for impeachment -- brian: democrats unveil at least two articles of impeachment. steve: griff jenkins is live in washington, d.c. with a preview of coming attractions. nancy sat down with jerry. they had a con fad and now at 9:00 this morning a press conference. griff: that's right. get the chairman of all the committees to lead the inquiry. nadler, schiff, malone and watters unexpected to unveil two articles of impeachment abuse of power and obstruction of congress. this after the judiciary committee's evidence hearing devolved into chaos yesterday. and one point real outrage from republicans from the majority counsel this guy berry burke appeared at the witness stable at the start of the hearing only to become the aggressive witness questioner from the dais after. >> there is no rule or precedent for anybody being a witness and then getting up and question and so. >> i have ruled. >> of order is he is

inappropriate to be up here asking question. >> that is not a point of order. is he here according to rules. >> ranking member arrived at the same conclusions where they began. >> president trump violated his oath to the american people. he placed his own private interests ahead of our national security. >> and at the end of the day, all this is about is about a clock and a calendar because they can't get over the fact donald trump is president of the united states and they don't have a candidate that they think can beat him. griff: the white house blasted the hearing as the march to impeachment continues. the next step step is the markup likely starting tomorrow. this is where the articles will be written in the judiciary committee. then the committee will vote on them. then it would be off to the house floor for a full vote. that could possibly come before christmas. we may find out a little bit more in just less than two hours when those democrat leaders take to the capital.

guys? brian: unbelievable this is happening at this case. two articles of impeachment, mark it up rapidly. go home for christmas come back and have a trial. business as usual. griff jenkins, good luck. ainsley: really quickly, if it does go to a vote later this week they send it to the house floor and they immediately have to vote, right? griff: there is two options here. one is it would go to the rules committee and floor for a full vote or under the judiciary privilege they could vote for it. either way it gets us to the same spot. that is wrapping this up. it's very likely this full historic vote will owe and the president will be impeached an september to that senate trial. it mirrors, by the way, the clinton impeachment 21 years ago. remember, he was impeached six days before christmas. then the trial concluded in the first weeks or so of february. we're kind of on that same timeline. brian: went from 60% approval to 64% of approval when it was all said and done. there were democrats that voted for his impeachment. do you know of any republican that's going to vote for his impeachment?

>> that's what everyone on the hill wants to know. because we don't see that. it has gone strictly down partisan lines. so far. it will be interesting to see if there is any movement one way or the other. but one thing is for certain. one of the stories history will remember about this, if it indeed stays down party lines, it's just how partisan this impeachment was. steve: all right. griff, thank you very much. the dome lights on the capitol shut off while he was talking. symbolic: let's go to byron york. as we look at this speeding train. it's not off tracks yet. it looks like we are going toward the impeachment and nancy pelosi is going to make it official today at:00. >> yeah. it's interesting that they're putting out the idea that they are going to impeach the president for, quote: abuse of power. if you remember, they have been searching for something to charge the president with. they went through a number of specific allegations. they started with a campaign

finance violation. then it was going to be quid pro quo. then it was going to be extortion. and they spent a long time accusing the president of bribery. i think it was clear all along in the end they were going to have to have something that sounded really serious like abuse of power but it was kind of fuzzy and it could take in anything that they wanted to accuse the president of doing. steve: this is a kitchen sink impeachment. throw everything at him and see what sticks. >> you know, and they have also been trying to explain why they are doing this so quickly. remember, at the very beginning nancy said they needed to strike while the iron was hot. and then she said well, you know, a lot of people think this is about ukraine and they don't really care that much about ukraine. but it's really about russia. this is about russia and we have been really investigating it for two years now. we're not rushing at all. and recently in the last couple of days they have changed again and they are saying they have to do this immediately to prevent the

president from cheating in the next election. brian: that's a new one. >> imminent threat of corrupting the next election. he has to be removed immediately. brian: of course. we know he corrupted the first one. why not the second one. that's what he wants everyone to believe. the big story yesterday the ig report came out and michael horowitz basically said there was -- there was a reason -- there was a valid reason to launch this investigation. and james comey and company took a victory lap. peter strzok attorney came out and said i want an apology as to jim baker's attorney. do they get an apology after have you read the ig report? >> highly unlikely. you know, there was this huge disconnect between a lot of the coverage that we saw of this saying that it showed that the clinton -- that the trump investigation was legally justified. and that it was free from political bias. and then you read the report, and it's pretty devastating. it's devastating for the trump-steele dossier. it's devastating in its

recounting how the fbi used confidential secret sources undercover agents to get information out of the of trump campaign figures bolt line the dossier complete garbage and the fbi had reason to know that pretty early in the process. and as far as the undercover sources were these were sources sent to get information from people like george papadopoulos, and carter page. they recorded all of their conversations secretly and the transcripts were very exculpatory. when papadopoulos would say things like no, we would never do anything like that with the russians. they had it on tape. they had it written down and somehow it just got all lost in the fbi process. ainsley: this has gone on for so long people want to see what john durham finds in his finding. he says he doesn't agree with this. this is his quote. while the investigation is ongoing last month we advised the inspector general that we do not agree

with. so report's conclusions as to predication and how the fbi case was opened. what do you think he doesn't agree with? >> well, i think he said that in part because of a media reports that said that he did agree with some of the stuff. and i think he wanted it clarify we do know he is casting a larger net than horowitz did. because two things. who arhorowitz is the inspector general of the justice department that's all he can look at and durham has a much broader range. he can look at what the cia was doing and we have never never had any accounting of what the cia was doing in the 2016 election. steve: right. >> look for a much broader scope from john durham. steve: sure. byron, you touched on the fact that the report found no political bias. that anybody would admit to. i mean, the ig did not get -- the way they phrased it did not get satisfactory explanations for the errors

of the problems that they identified. so, in other words, they say, hey, what did you do here and it's like i don't remember. or they had some story that did not sound right to the inspector general. >> that is an absolutely key passage because it does say we found no documents in evidence of political bias. but, on the other hand, we got no satisfactory answer to questions. there was apparently a memory failure at the fbi. which does happen in these investigations people all of a sudden can't remember why it was they did that the fact is it talks -- it, the report talks about mistakes that were made. errors that were made. ainsley: there were so many. >> one after the other after the other. they all seem to go in one direction which is against donald trump. brian: stephan halper and joseph mifsud. the summary was very thick by the way. every sentence mattered. but, i still am not sure,

stephan halper was the one who was commissioned to go speak to carter page to get information. and go speak to papadopoulos and try to get information. and joseph mifsud is the one who had the conversation initial whether i george papadopoulos and ended up being something that was discussed with ambassador downer that was brought to the attention of the fbi in the summer and then we launched this whole investigation right after. it is still not clear to me what they are up to and who they are. because mueller said that mifsud worked for russia. really? we found him in italy. >> mifsud remains, he is the mysterious maltese professor, i mean there is some really odd characters in all of this. he remains a mystery. we don't know exactly why he was talking to george papadopoulos. why he lured essentially george papadopoulos with a speaking offer to come to italy to talk to them and how that whole thing happened. maybe durham will tell us more. maybe not. by the way, durham does not

have a responsibility to write us a 400 page report like horowitz did. it's more like the robert mueller case. if you remember, mueller wrote a report but he really didn't have to. we'll see durham could indict people and we could learn what was happening through the indictments. we just don't know. steve: byron, what did you make of the fact that it sounds like the fbi wanted to include the dossier in the fisa application but the cia did not. >> well, this was just incredible. first of all, the dossier, which was completely untrustworthy the report says it was the central and essential part of the application to wiretap carter page. without it, it would not have happened. what was on top of that, and this was really jaw-dropping. remember, there was something called the intelligence community assessment. which was the whole intelligence community got together and gave its best read of what russia had done to try to influence the 2016 election. it was presented to

president obama. in december of 2016. and then, again, to obama and president-elect trump in january of 2017. the jaw-dropping part is the cia did not want to include any information from the dossier in the intelligence community assessment. but the fbi, specifically james comey and andrew mccabe, of the top two people there they did want to include that in the intelligence community assessment. this dossier was absolutely useless, defamatory and they wanted to put it in the nation's most important intelligence document. brian: here is the thing, it's a baby nobody wants. christopher steele said it's more information. i didn't say it was corroborated plus i'm working for fusion gps. i was not working for the fbi. i'm working for my client. they are running away from this whole things. nobody thing it's good now. ainsley: the fisa court wasn't even told who paid for that does the yea. it was hillary clinton's campaign. >> correct. we knew that at the time. we knew the fisa court was

not told about that. some of the details that we get of the lack of credibility, the fbi actually did get to talk to some of the sources of information who gave information to christopher steele. he got none of his information firsthand. it didn't come from his knowledge. he got information second and third hand from people who themselves got information second and third hand. the fbi trained some of these people and they said wait a minute, this was gossip. it was hearsay. it was what friends say over beers. one literally said that and they were amazed that christopher steele took it so seriously. and, yet, this formed the basis for this report. this dossier that did enormous damage. brian: gotcha. >> to a president in his first months of office. brian: is he byron york and is he a big help. thanks, byron. ainsley: thanks, byron. steve: coming up. ainsley: is he one of three sailors killed in the pensacola attack. but he saved countless others from losing their lives. his family is here to honor his sacrifice. brian: plus the documentary

confidential source knew that there were issues with the source at the fbi? that the fbi made the gut decision hey, we're not going to do a defensive briefing and let, you know, the candidate, donald trump know that there may be issues with someone or attempting to infiltrate the campaign? none of that adds up if you really are trying to digest what happened. steve: yeah. you know, bret, the thing is, because the fisa court is a secret court. we're never -- we never find out about stuff like this. in this case there were 17 17 significant inaccuracies, 17 errors or omission in the first fisa application and 10 more in the three following. so it's kind of like they base so much of the fisa application on the steele dossier, which we know was a bunch of made up stuff. and then when they realize it was made up. they never went to the judge and said by the way that stuff we got the fisa warrant with. that was made up.

which you this should have. >> that's right. think about even before that, it's chilling to know that the fbi never even informed those in the department of justice that they had information that contradicted what they were about to present to the fisa court. steve: right. >> then they present to the fisa court and they leave it out but include information that they knew was suspect. that's a disaster on every front. i know people are saying well, why wasn't there more in the report to criticize or to target individuals and i think that is what everyone is left wanting, which is why it was so staggering to see, you know, u.s. attorney john durham then to come out with a very unusual statement. steve: it was indeed. he does not agree with it. all right, bret, thank you for joining us today. ainsley: thanks, bret. brian: one of three soldiers killed in the pensacola attack. ainsley: his family honors his sacrifice. that's coming up next. to busine,

bleeding profusely made it out the door, hailed first responders and they came up to him and with basically his last breath summoned his courage to give an accurate description of the shooter and his location so they could do their duty. steve: and save lives. >> and save lives. >> adam, they did it at great peril to themselves. >> adam, i know on your facebook page you wrote some beautiful things about your brother saying he gave his life for his country. did you mention it was a senseless shooting. is there anything that needs to be changed on these military bases? >> yes, ma'am. ainsley: what would you like to see changed? >> my brother was. [clearing throat] these men and women are asked, you know, to go defend their country overseas or wherever and, you know, my brother was an

expert marksman. he was captain of the rifle team for the navy. he was well-qualified to have a firearm and defend himself. and if we are going to ask these men and women to stand watch for our country, they need the opportunity to defend themselves. this isn't the first time this has happened and if we don't change something, it won't be the last. brian: yeah. somehow the shooter got a gun but you are not allowed to carry a gun on the base. does that sound right to yo you? >> >> no, sir. the security can't check every vehicle and the shooter was authorized to be on base. so these attacks are not coming from, you know, someone who shouldn't be there. they are coming from people that are supposed to be there they are coming from people who are supposed to be your brothers in arms it

is just not right to ask these young men and women to stand watch but not give them the ability to defend themselves. if my brother had not had that right stripped from him, this would be a different conversation. ainsley: sheila, this is your son. we are all parents and i know how much time and effort you go -- you put into raising these children to be wonderful individuals, to serve our country. he went to the u.s. naval academy. such a hero. when you hear that he didn't have the right to have a gun and defend himself, that has to make you irate. how do you feel? >> he was my baby. and it hurts me. it doesn't really anger me as much as it hurts me. that my baby was standing watch and he lost his life because he wasn't armed.

he wasn't able to defend himself. he fought. he fought. but he lost his life. i don't understand it. when i go home to my home in enterprise, i have his pictures. i have a lot of things that were his but i don't have him. i won't see his smile. and it kills me. steve: we know there is a hole in everybody's heart. zac, i know your brother wanted to be a navy pilot. what else can you tell us about your brother joshua? >> well, ever since he was five years old he wanted to be in the military. what he wanted to do changed a couple of times.

but for, you know, almost two decades, he -- he pursued the military with single minded determination. to him, that was everything. everything he did for the military and towards the military. he did it with a measure of pride that is as really unequaled it's what he wanted to do to the absolute deepest part of his soul. when he got in and graduated from the naval academy and when he got his commission and picked up for flight school he couldn't stop smiling. to him it was his dream come true. brian: evan, you were a friend of his, did you see these heroic qualities growing up? >> unfortunately was i not able to know caleb before

high school. i met him my junior year of high school. his sophomore year but every day after the first day i met him he exhibited these qualities and i had no doubt in my mind that he was going to be a man of honor and courage and that he would bring others together and just go all out and do the best he could do in everything he did in life. and he did it. i'm honored to be his friend and part of his family. ainsley: sweet. >> yes, ma'am. ainsley: there were three individuals that were killed. we look at their pictures, young, beautiful men, do you know the other two families? have you talked to them and is there anything you want to say to honor them as well? >> well, yes. they gave their lives. and others took bullets. for their country as well. and our heart is breaking with them as well.

i was very energetic, sociable person. i was constantly seen as a distraction in the classroom. once i received the

scholarship and attended tree life christian in columbus, ohio. everything changes. teachers were more focused on seeing me succeed as an individual. and also since the classroom sizes were smaller, they were able to individualized their teaching style with my learning style. my learning needs. so i was exposed to so much. my teachers were saying walter you might be good at this or good at that if this doesn't work this might work. they encouraged me and pushed me to succeed and continue to grow and see what i was good at. what i wasn't. and ultimately just become a more well-rounded person. ainsley: that's great. what do you want to do with your life? >> yesterday i looked into the eyes of president and he asked me the same question and i responded with i'm coming to the white house. so, my plan is to continue to expand my policy footprint. especially in education reform but continuing to move up and i got my eyes on the presidency. ainsley: are you still in school now? >> no. i graduated in may of this past year. and moved out to d.c. to continue this work in

education reform. ainsley: that's great. what did the president say to you yesterday? tell us a little about that conversation. >> so he first off just started with talking about the importance of education and how there is some legislation that's being passed right now or working on being passed the education freedom scholarship that's ultimately going to be another vehicle another opportunity for more kids to have the same opportunity that i had which is what it is all about. that's why i'm passionate about this movement because i know what it's like firsthand to be in a school that is failing me and where i'm not learning and i'm just stuck. where i'm begging my mom every single day please, don't send me back and there is still kids like that. so, i am very passionate about this. and as long as i have breath inside of me, i'm going to continue to fight for those kids who are still stuck in those schools. ainsley: walter, you are so special. i know you came from a family of six. you were strapped for cash growing up. now you have this wonderful opportunity to go to this private christian school and doing great things with your life. god bless you. >> thank you so much. ainsley: maybe you will be

president trump firing back at the democrats fast paced pitch for impeachment comes to a head at 9:00 a.m. with a press conference. ainsley: the president tweeting out a few moments ago to impeach a president whose proven through results including producesing perhaps the strongest economy in our country's history to have one of the most successful presidencies ever and most importantly whose done nothing wrong is shear political madness >> that's his point of view, as democrats plan to unveil at least two articles of impeachment in less than an hour hey, griff. griff: that's right the two articles of impeachment we expect for them to unveil at 9:00 is abuse of power and obstruction of congress, that will be introduced by the chairman of the committees who led the inquiry, nadler, schiff, and the like and the next step is the markup of the actual articles being written and this comes after the judiciary committee's hearing on evidence just in the chaos yesterday outrage from republicans when the majority counsel, you see him here, appeared at the

witness table at the start, but then became the witness there after. >> we're going to ignore the rules since we have witnesses to ask the questions. how many other rules are you just going to disregard? this is not appropriate to have a witness be a questioner of somebody that was a witness when he was. >> gentlemen? >> just wrong. griff: in the end, the chairman and ranking member arriving at the same conclusions where they began nadler accusing the president of putting personal interests ahead of the country calling it clearly impeachable and collins calling it a sham because democrats don't have a candidate would can beat president trump. the white house of course blasting the hearing as that march to impeachment continues. now here is where we stand if a markup starts tomorrow that could vote on it in the judiciary committee by the end of the week, sending it to the house floor for a full vote before christmas. guys? >> and griff the reason that

mr. burke was not only to able to be a witness but then go up and ask questions is because before they started the entire impeachment inquiry they passed its resolution 6-60 and stacked the deck against the republicans griff: resolution 660 is exactly why because they set the rules beforehand, it'll be interesting to see, steve when they get to that full vote in the house floor whether or not, on the articles of impeachment, whether or not it'll be sent to the rules committee beforehand or not, to set the rule whether they will just do it under privilege. >> i've never seen a bigger waste of time where two people talked at each other instead of to each other for a longer period of time than we witnessed yesterday. not one person was convinced. not one person was changed. not one new argument was presented. it was less than fascinating but griff i'm glad you're there to recap it. ainsley: thank you, griff. the results are still the same so they are preparing to announce these two articles of impeachment at 9:00 today. they are going to focus according to reports on obstruction of congress because they were upset for the president for blocking aids to

participate in this impeachment hearing and then they are also looking at abuse of power because he pressured the ukraine president. >> hold on a second? abuse of power? bribery is missing which is so interesting because it was such a hot topic not long ago. listen to this. >> the devastating testimony corroborated evidence of bribery >> it goes right to the heart of the issue of bribery. >> this is a very strong case of bribery. >> it's bribery. >> you can call this extortion, call it bribery it's all the same thing. >> it might even be bribery. >> bribery. >> bribery. >> it's bribery. >> but they have all these meetings so you know they are going over the same thing because they have the same talking points and we pick it up , by the way we know because it also points up with the news media as well as the democratic party. ainsley: and the focus groups said use the word bribery. quid pro quo didn't mean anything. >> but today the gop will have lunch with jonathan turley,

because this is heading out of the house into the senate and the senate says we will take this up after the holidays. >> then we'll have the senate pick this up where the house left off. the big question would be now how many republicans will side with the democrats but how many democrats with side with republicans and not vote for one or two of these articles of impeachment. ainsley: they said they did not support impeachment. interesting. >> so it will be bipartisan in the movement against impeachment jason chaffetz was with us a couple of hours ago, and he said that it's crazy that they haven't figured out exactly what the case is, the democrats. watch. >> isn't that stunning that here we are, on this tuesday morning? we don't exactly know what the impeachment is going to be, but they are going to supposedly by the end of the week start marking it up and yesterday what a debacle. when you have members of congress and staff asking staff questions, by the way, you know, i'm going to write your performance review. let me ask you a question about

your impression on impeachment. i mean, come on. you wouldn't do that in third grade and this is the united states congress run by jerry nadler and nancy pelosi? what a joke. >> that was only one of the two big stories yesterday. right in the middle of that endless testimony which could be labeled tedious by anyone watching. especially those experiencing it you saw there, that doug collins didn't have enough red bulls but he should have shared with jerry nadler at one point you'd think if there was bipartisan energy drinks. >> there was plenty of bulls. >> and you watched them drinking it. i don't blame them but meanwhile the other big story was the -- ainsley: reminded me of last week when the girl did the coffee cup. >> 434 pages was dropped it was a 17-page summary, but the headline was initially, that james comey, andy mccabe, peter strzok had reasons to launch the investigation into the trump campaign, and they cited four people in the trump campaign that were under suspicion. mike flynn, paul manafort,

carter page, as well as george papadopoulos but then you read it, and there's a lot of problems with it in you're in the fbi. ainsley: 476 page report they said there are no documents or testimony that revealed political bias, but they identified 17 significant errors of admission in the fisa applications, like who paid for it. >> yeah, so that really is the key and that was why a lot of people looked at it and said hey , there was a reason for that first fisa application, but, as the ig detailed, it was based on the dossier, the steele dossier, which was a bunch of made up stuff potentially and when the fbi knew that, they never went back, and they say that there were seven key errors or omisions in the first fisa application, which is what they were able to then use to wire tap carter page, and then there were 10 more in the three subsequent fisa applications. so ultimately, they used the

fisa applications to spy on the president' team, but ultimately, the dossier was based on bad information. ainsley: john durham is the u.s. attorney in connecticut and he's investigating the origin of the fbi, trump russia probe and he has a larger grasp. it's criminal investigation. and he had to go overseas because the ig report was just focused on the fbi and the doj. listen to what he said. he said while our investigation is ongoing, last month, we advised the inspector general that we do not agree with some of the report conclusions as to freddie indication, and how the fbi case was opened. >> uh-huh. >> there's problems to the point where christopher wray, he was hartened by the fact he didn't see political bias in his report is making 40 changes to the way the fbi approached things the new director of the fbi who the president has various times expressed disappointment in prior looks at this whole report and said i've got a problem with the headline

especially when i read what's in it. >> john durham, this is a serious prosecutor. this is not somebody whose partisan or political. he's nick named the bull. he's gone after the maffia and the klan, he led the investigation into the fbi's protection and this is a very serious prosecutor and for him to come out with that statement, that means he's got the goods on somebody. durham is not limited in scope to existing department of justice or fbi officials. durham can subpoena former employees, former doj members. durham can go and look at what the cia was doing what the nfc was doing what foreign countries were doing so durham's scope is so much bigger than what horowitz can do. >> some of the things are just stunning they omitted in the report that george papadopoulos denied the trump campaign was involved in a dnc hack. they omitted finding a validation report that steele's past contributions were minimal ly corroborated that he had a habit of embellishing things and they list there was

christopher steele said i don't know why you have the opinion i work for the fbi. my allegiance and my firms allegiance was to fusion gps and the fbi goes no you work for us. that's a huge problem when the fbi thinks that you have christopher steele working for him and christopher steele says no and also this whole thing about him not having any annie animosity towards the trumps, tell that to the reporter, as opposed to the relationship he evidently had with ivanka trump a into years ago. ainsley: the fisa court was never told that the dnc paid for the dossier and nevada told steele lied in the past and had credibility problems and "poor judgment" and never told that steele was desperate that trump not get elected. >> right but one of the other headlines that i saw and one of the other channels yesterday was they found no political bias, but when you take a look at it, essentially they wrote there was no political bias that anybody would admit to. ainsley: in their testimony. >> it says the ig did not get satisfactory explanations for the errors or the problems we

identified, so they looked at the problems and they said why did you do that and they go i don't remember. >> bottom line is -- ainsley: stunning how easy it is to get things through the fisa court. >> rubber stamp. >> i can't believe the carter page story and george papadopoulos story launched this whole thing. meanwhile, 11 minutes after the hour, hey, gillian. >> good morning with a fox news alert and a story we've been following, a newlywed couple from virginia severely burned in the new zealand volcano eruption we're now hearing from a man who actually talked to the honeymoon ers in their cruise ship lounge the very night before the blast. >> they said we're on our honeymoon, so we're going to do an excursion at every port stop and you never know your life changes in a moment and life is short. >> yes it is six people are dead several others are missing about 30 people are hospitalized with burns. to another fox news alert, a

chilean air force plane that seemingly disappeared is believed to have crashed and the plane carrying 38 people losing radio contact as it hit the half way mark of its journey to a base, right now a chilean naval ship is in the area where the plane was last detected and the plane was carrying crew members along with personnel from the military and engineering firm, and a university. and the grandson of former president george h. w. bush is running for congress in texas. pierce bush announcing his candidacy and aligning himself with president trump. >> you see what they have done with their new majority in congress, they have punted the people's will and are just attacking president trump and while there's still critical issues. >> bush is looking to take over for congressman pete olson not running for re-election. bush 41 blasted the president as a "blow hard" and voted against him in the 2016 election.

sixth straight month in november they are down more than 70% since the height of the crisis back in the spring in may. here with an update is acting cb p commissioner mark morgan. mark how do you explain the steady decrease? is it all credit due to mexico? >> no, in part, i think where the credit really belongs, brian , is to this president and this administration, because of the focus and the initiatives that organizations like cbp and our partner agencies have implemented has caused those numbers to go down and remember, the really driving factor of this crisis was families come from central america because they were told and they were right because the loopholes you grab a kid, that was your entry into the united states, and because of this president and these initiatives we've shut that down, since the peak of may , we have reduced that by 85% families coming from the northern triangle country. >> you've got remaining mexico is one and number two i hear, i don't have a camera but mexican marines are spread out on their

southern border. how much are they helping? >> absolutely we've talked about this before. mexico stepped up in unprecedented ways as well as the northern triangle countries to collectively with the united states to see this as a regional crisis so mexico has absolutely stepped up their interior enforcement operations, their southern border operations and they are helping us with other programs and it absolutely is working. >> so now, you still had 42000 apprehensions of the southern border but it's down 6% from october and as i mentioned 70% since may so how much credit if you want to give credit to the central american countries are you giving them some of the aid back you took away when they weren't in your mind controlling their population? >> yes and that's happening and again that was a decision by this president, but it's very meaningful and thoughtful and methodical meaning we're making sure that they aid that's going there is going there for specific reasons, one for humanitarian and to help their immigration capacity as well as using that money to go after to the cartels and the human

smuggling organizations that are really responsible for this, not only exploiting the vulnerable population but also the drugs, brian that are poured into this country killing americans every single day. >> brian: mark congratulations we are on here so many times talking about how the numbers are out of control and now without any help you're getting the numbers out of control the trump adminitration is taking proactive action thanks so much for joining us mark. >> thanks brian. >> straight ahead next the fisa report is out and the findings show it's just the beginning. our next guest says it was a big triumph for congressman noon easy, but destroyed adam schiff. really, kim strassel on deck.

school graduate in the state of minnesota. clifford hanson quit school to help out his family's farm, but he still studied on his own, years and years later and hanson 's local high school heard his story and honored him with a diploma and now he is a graduate ainsley: good for him, he did it this morning all eyes on u.s. attorney john durham and his highly anticipated probe of potential surveillance abuses against president trump's team. that's just some but we're really focused on the ig report because when don't know when durham's report is coming out which our next guest argues this report, the ig report is a triumph for one particular congressman in trouble for another one. >> fox news contributor kim strassel was the other and joins us to explain, so who are the two men you're discussing? >> okay, so we're talking about devon nunes, who is currently the minority member on the house intelligence committee and adam schiff whose currently the

majority member. one of these guys comes out of this really well, one of them not so well. >> i have a feeling that you think that it's a triumph for devon nunes because he essentially was the whistleblower that there was fisa abuse and that the dossier was at the very cornerstone of this fisa application, and the dossier was a bunch of junk. >> yeah, you know sometimes politics move so fast, it's worthwhile going back and remembering how we get somewhere so the reason that we actually know about this fisa abuse is because in early february 2018, devon nunes who was heading the house intelligence committee put out a memo with these explosive revelations that the fbi target ed carter page with surveillance that the dossier from a rival campaign had been the basis for that, and that the fbi had not been straight up with the fisa court, and this should have provoked bipartisan outrage. instead, adam schiff came out immediately and said no that's a bunch of hooey, and in fact he puts out his own memo and says

no, nobody abused anything so now we've got the ig report and adam schiff owes the country an enormous apology for spreading a false misinformation. ainsley: did adam schiff subpoena at&t and verizon for information so he could have records of these phone calls from devon nunes, rudy giuliani? >> yeah, this is incredibly bad faith move also by adam schiff, and not just i think from two perspectives. one is a legal perspective. i had to call him on this last week in which i quoted the former attorney general saying he could not find the authority to ask the phone carrier for records like this but also just bad precedent. we don't want, this is as far as i know, the first time you have the head of an intelligence committee, using the powers of congress to spy on a fellow member, and if that's the standard we're going to have going forward if you think politics is ugly now watch where this goes.

>> kim i just don't understand. the headline is theres no political bias. we know about the text, we know about the anti-trump feelings, but still, horowitz didn't find any bias. how do you explain that? >> okay so i think this is important. he said he didn't find any documentary evidence of bias. i mean that's basically saying he didn't find an e-mail among the fbi officials saying let's take out donald trump, okay? and it's not his job in the absence of that document evidence to get their motive but instead he just laid out all of the facts and when you step back and look at that fact pattern i think it's very hard for anyone to think that this wasn't a deliberate attempt by the fbi to abuse its powers in aid of going after donald trump. >> sure, and kim speaking of donald trump, they had opened the investigation and now we know that manafort was being surveilled as well. why would the fbi have not gone to the candidate to say by the

way, we think that you've got a problem with your campaign manager. >> yeah, especially because at the time the fbi first got interested in this, manafort and page had only just both joined the campaign. they didn't have big stakes there. that would have been the time to go to donald trump and say look, there's some concerns here and let him switch up his team. interestingly the ig says well there's no real rules here on whether or not you're supposed to brief a candidate or campaign , but this is going to be one of the things that now thanks to this report the fbi is going to look at internally and decide if we don't need major reforms for the future. >> it will be interesting to get the international aspect of this because we don't have a sense of what misfeed did, stefan halper, we don't know what he was doing over in cambridge and the role he had with the fbi and we don't know about ambassador downer, does he have an agenda and intelligence

background in australia because his conversation with the fbi made them launch this interest in george papadopoulos. kimberly thanks so much. >> thank you. ainsley: coming up, he died in the pensacola naval base attack, but not before saving countless lives. we spoke to his heartbroken family earlier this morning. the powerful interview, next. >> he pursued the military with single-minded determination. to him that was everything. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa

>> ♪ ♪ >> tech: so you think this chip is nothing to worry about?

well at safelite, we know sooner or later every chip will crack. these friends were on a trip when their windshield got chipped. so they scheduled at safelite.com. they didn't have to change their plans or worry about a thing. i'll see you all in a little bit. and i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> tech: being there whenever you need us

that's another safelite advantage. >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace. >> well it's a trend we continue to see. liberal views being pushed on college campuses. that's nothing new, right? well a new survey is an eye opener and sheds light on just how common it has become with nearly half of conservative students saying their professors have gone out on tangents during class to criticize president trump. our next guest knows the trend all too well, editor in chief of campus reform, cabot phillips joins us live right now. you have told us about this all the time but that number is pretty darn high. >> i think it's good for people to have hard data to show how

pervasive the issue is. some people might see that number and be shocked it's so high. i'm shocked it's not higher i've spoken firsthand to thousands of students with leadership institutes of campus reform and what people always tell me the most common thing, first they wisper when they tell me they are conservatives because they are afraid of retribution when they find out and what do i do with my professor letting everyone know how horrible conservative ideas are and no student should have to choose between feeling like their ideas are some evil thing, feeling like their grade might be threatened and standing up for what they believe in and it's important to hold us accountable when you see it and professors if you look at data every one professor that donates to conservative causes there are 12 on the left that do the same thing. >> 12:1 so of course you'll see this breakdown. it's a big number, but do you think the professors generally have a good idea after a couple of weeks where people stand in their class, politically. so if they know they've got conservative students there

maybe they don't go down that road. >> well if you're an 18-year-old college student and you come to class and your professor on the first day is ranting against how horrible it is, what's it going to do that classroom? you know if you're a student you say i don't want to speak up and have my professor to come after me. i know exactly what my professor thinks o of my ideas and a lot of times it does bully students into silence and this plays into the idea of privilege which is all the rage on college campus, how about liberal students having the privilege of professors that agree with their every idea and the privilege of knowing if they don't speak up it's not a problem because the professor will speak up and give their ideas for them it's a privilege conservative students don't have. >> about a minute ago you said something we have to hold the professors accountable. how do you do that? it's not like you'll call your mom to complain. >> well you can call up the campus reform. we have a team of student reporters over 100 on college campuses reporting on what's going on in the classroom and professors want to operate in darkness, we always say light is the best disinfectant and the solution is making sure that

people are aware of what's going on if taxpayers knew what their money was funding on college campuses they would be much more involved and wouldn't wash their hands of it and also the solution here is not to say let's hire a bunch of conservative professors to bash nancy pelosi and joe biden. no professors should be teaching students how to think critically not what to think and when professors get politics out of the classroom or at least provide all sides to make up their minds for themselves that's what the goal of college should be. >> let's make it the way it used to be once upon a time. meanwhile, the countdown to christmas is on from speakers and headphones to heated jackets , skip is here with your holiday gift guide, coming up next, but first let's check in with bill hemmer in the news with the last 24 hours with a preview of coming attractions. >> thank you, good morning to you got a new assignment in the new year and i can't wait for that thank you, steve. we are awaiting moments away, five democratic leaders to tell america what is next on impeachment and that's a major
