3:01 am
three of us and some members of our crew got together for our a christmas lunch at the end. brian actually gave me his credit card and i was going to bring it back to him today. funny thing happened between yesterday and today. brian: what? steve: last night i was paying some bills. you know how it always says what is the secret code on the front of it? i used yours. ainsley: accidentally? steve: and it worked. my water bill was paid with your number. brian: fantastic. ainsley: how did you get the card? because i got it first. you gave it to me because had you to go catch your train. ainsley: hit card and somehow it ended up in your wallet. steve: anyway, i gout it. you are welcome. brian: i paid your water bill. steve: i have the feeling you are going to be buying coffee today. ainsley: yesterday we had some meetings, full day. brian: promos. ainsley: talking about the election and all of that brian had on his phone the whhorowitz. we were listening to
3:02 am
horowitz. brian: it was incredible. ainsley: unbelievable. steve: we are going to talk about that in a minute. first, talk about why they were burning the midnight oil in the congress yesterday. yesterday. fiery marathon hearing late into the night on capitol hill. ainsley: they will take a vote in the committee and then go to the full house. latest polls show they might want to think twice. brian: griff is in washington, d.c. to explain what happened. griff, you were up late and now you are up early. what happened? griff: brian, ainsley and steve, good morning. the sausage is getting made. get day two of the mark-up session. day is going to go all day 41 members of the judiciary committee vote on proposed amendments of the articles of impeachment. at the end of the day, go right down party lines and they will send the articles to the house floor next week for a vote. when the session began, chairman jerry nadler said three factors must be considered as they firmly
3:03 am
debate. >> first, does the evidence show clearly that the president committed these acts? second, do they rise to the level of impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors? third, what are the consequences for our national security, for the integrity of our elections and for our country. griff: republicans are blasting this march to impeachment calling it rushed and unfair. here is the ranking mebleg of that committee doug collins. >> what you need to continue to say is: we can't beat him next year. the only thing we need is a 30 second commercial saying we impeached him. that's the wrong reason to impeach somebody. griff: here's the thing. while today's committee vote is predictable. the house on the map floor something to watch. latest monmouth poll show 60% oppose imbeach peaching him. pelosi needs 216, focus on
3:04 am
that number. because there are 31 democrats in her party that are in districts trump carried. she can only lose 176 them. otherwise, she has got a real problem and, again, the white house pointing to the polling that is in their favor. guys? brian: griff, even the fact that you are saying we have got to get to 233 to get impeachment -- 217 i should say. that's historic. because usually there is buy-in from the other party. two said i'm not for the inquiry. they are going to vote against it. then have you this other woman alicia slotnic she told fox yesterday she still has not decided yet. i'm wondering how many others have not made up their minds yet on the left? griff: this is setting up a really really tough decision for democrats. as we talked this week, guys, remember there was that week for censure instead of impeachment. that failed to get any traction. now you are talking about taking that vote which may
3:05 am
backfire on them when they consider their own futures come november next year. certainly was the case in 1998 with bill clinton when the party of clinton, the democrats gained seats and his approval ratings went up after being acquitted by senate democrats. ainsley: the president's poll numbers are going up, too. as far as impeachment is concerned, the public, there is fewer support, all-time low. steve: griff, thank you very much for that meantime kevin mccarthy has this observation about what the democrats' end game is. >> they have always had a timeline. they just have never had facts or proof or reason to go forward. these people, what is so outrageous to me, they would rather impeach instead of investigate government overreach. they should be calling horowitz in there tonight. not impeaching the president. that committee, two thirds of those democrats have already voted for impeachment before they read anything. >> keep in mind, according to the "the washington post," the senate says when
3:06 am
it gets to the senate and expects to pass today. when he they get it are a the new year they will move it through quick. the president wanted a long trial to defend himself. they said it will be short and sweet and it will be over and it's going to be 1, 2, 3 and get on with our country's business. keep in mind, it flips in the senate. because susan collins doesn't want to vote on this. it's not going to help her. you have core gardner, he is somebody, maybe thom tillis doesn't want to vote. they are going to have their hands full in their districts anyway. steve: looks like a lose, lose, lose all around. steve: looks like the president will not get his wish to call joe biden. we will keep you post on that. in the meantime yesterday inspector general of the department of justice michael horowitz was on capitol hill. he had six hours of testimony. he is essentially walking through the judiciary committee through his report that came out a couple of days ago. found fbi violations from top to bottom admitted something was fishy at the fbi. he weighs asked could the 17 significant errors or
3:07 am
omissions be accidental? horowitz said he would be skeptical. the answers they got were not satisfactory. it's either shear incompetence, intentionality or something in between. listen to this exchange between the inspector general and john kennedy hit something. >> let's talk about the people involved in the initial fisa application and the renewals. these are experienced people, right? >> in this case these were experienced people. >> they were hand picked by mr. mccabe, right? >> they were hand picked. >> this wasn't their first rodeo? >> it certainly wasn't. >> it just seems to me it has to be one of two things. either incompetence or intentional conduct. >> i agree. it's either shear incompetence, intentionality, or something, perhaps, in between. i think it's fair for people to sit there and look at all of these 17 events and
3:08 am
wonder how it could be purely incompetence. ainsley: three separate investigative teams. steve: all hand picked. ainsley: hand picked by mccabe. keep in mind the fbi was being run by james comey. who said what i thought was bombshell information yesterday. james comey keep in mind in the past he said the fisa abuse is nonsense. he signed off on three of the five applications he swore his information was accurate. this week, after the report came out on monday, he said the ig report vindicated him and then horowitz went on to say no one is vindicated. he called comey's fisa he abuse inexplicable. failure by the entire chain of command. brian: you can't have it both ways. the other thing i thought was sensational and because it was hard clad, ironclad and indisputable is that the steele dossier was used predominantly to get the fisa warrant. ainsley: unverified. brian: unverified. even christopher steele said single sources haven't been to russia in 20 years. these people gave me this
3:09 am
information. >> by the way i was working for the fbi. i was working for fusion gps. next, so then comeback for democrats is well, carter page, he barely played a role and george papadopoulos the president barely knew him. no kidding you can't have it both ways. either use those two people to launch the investigation and they matter or they dent matter and they shouldn't have launched the investigation. here is senator lindsey graham. >> it may have started lawfully. it got off the rails quick. it became a value conspiracy to defraud the fisa court to put mr. page through hell and to continual to surveil president trump after he got elected. i hope somebody pays a price for that you have certainly done your part, mr. horowitz. steve: when the horowitz report came out on monday. you saw the headlines there was no political bias at the fbi. the republicans have been barking up the wrong tree for a while. what my o my have the tides
3:10 am
have turned. members of the media now admitting fbi made some problematic mistakes. watch. >> let's be crystal clear here, the ig did find some alarming instances of fbi misconduct. this part was damning. why were you misleading the foreign intelligence. why was that not reported up the chain of command. that is legitimate beef that strike. >> there were very clear mistakes made by the fbi and a particular point egregious altering of a document to not inform the court and to not inform others that carter page was actually also at times a confidential source of the cia. steve: that information was changed by an fbi lawyer to make it look like he wasn't but he was. ainsley: exactly. there were so many mistakes. horowitz said these were basic errors. if these investigators are so experienced, why are these type of mistakes being made? think about this, if those mistakes hadn't been made.
3:11 am
if they had been accurate and they included everything and they hadn't omitted information, then the warrant to surveil northwesterly would have been granted and we wouldn't be talking about this today. brian: all the wires that people wore and split hairs over spying, surveillance, spy, whatever, it was running rampant. ainsley: tarnishes the reputation of the fbi and those are men and women who put their lives on the line. field offices are wonderful. these groupings are tarnishing the reputation of the fbi. steve: yesterday was an opening salvo. he is going to be back, mr. horowitz is, on capitol hill in front of another committee next week. i have a feeling you will see that live, too. brian: speaking of wonderful americans, carley shimkus is here. carley: how sweet. i feel the same about all three of you. we will start now with a fox news alert. thousands attend funerals and vigils of victims of the horrific jersey city attack overnight. among those remembered moshi an active volunteer in the
3:12 am
jewish community. >> a few hundred bullets went in to a body of a 24-year-old child. how can we, as a community as people bear that? carley: three others gunned down including a jersey city detective. the shooters david anderson and francey graham had black israelites. both killed by police. we will go live to jersey city with more on the investigation. the mayor is now labeling a hate crime and the note those killers left behind. also breaking overnight, we now know two american-born teenagers are among the 16 people dead in the new zealand volcano eruption. brothers barron and matthew holdinger born in chicago and moved to australia. they were visiting the island with their parents
3:13 am
who are still missing. a virginia congresswoman confronted by her own constituents in a fiery town hall over the democrat-led impeachment effort. watch. carley: congresswoman abigail spam burger one of several freshman democrats wrote op-ed supporting impeachment. she won in a district president trump won in 2016. steve: one thing when you are in washington. another thing when you are back home. thanks, carley. meanwhile, senator ted cruz ripping the obama era fbi and doj for its handling of the russia probe. >> the department of justice
3:14 am
and fbi were perfectly happy to be hatchet men for this on poo research dump. ainsley: next guest worked for the doj when the mueller probe started. he said ted cruz is just scratching thes surface. brian: new plan to get homeless people off the street put them on a cruise ship. i wish i had that idea. i wish i told somebody. ♪ most people think of verizon as a reliable phone company. but to businesses, we're a reliable partner. we keep companies ready for what's next.

3:19 am
yesterday, you seen parallels between the horowitz report and the mueller report. >> i do. i do. if you go back to the first indictments from the mueller special counsel team, it was against the russians for conspiracy to defraud the united states. and what they said was that you had these russian operatives creating fake news and then distributing it through social media to the american public for the purposes of influencing an election. what you have here at the fbi in 2016 is several people at the top of the fbi manipulating the government, taking a fake dossier and then leaking that to the press to generate news to influence an election. if you ask me, that is conspiracy to defraud the united states. that is a crime. now, go back -- go further to when trump is actually elected. they continued doing the same thing, leaking stories to the press, all to help derail the trump presidency. that is conspiracy to defraud the united states. now, whether you are able to
3:20 am
prove that in a court of law, whether you are able to get a conviction, that's another story, but i think it's pretty clear here what was done was not by mistake. it was intentional and it was to derail the trump presidency. steve: you say it was intentional, when horowitz was asking these various people who made these 17 mistakes that it seemed like the department of justice had their thumb on the scale against trump each and every time. when they asked these members of leadership and the rank and file who are involved in operation crossfire hurricane, suddenly they have amnesia. yeah, i don't know what we were thinking. no, i don't remember that no, i can't really help you on that. and so horowitz is left with what he has got they can't say yep, you are right we were out to get him. >> that's right. they can't remember. guy back to an exchange that horowitz had. i believe it was with senator kennedy that you played earlier in the show where it's almost impossible to believe that this level of incompetence existed. this had to be intentional.
3:21 am
he just simply cannot prove it from where he is. now perhaps john durham can prove it. steve: one of the other things that senator kennedy said was that it is easier to divorce your wife than to get somebody fired at the fbi. >> that's right. and, look, i think we are at the point in time where we need to go back, 1970s you had the church committee looking into abuses at the cia. i think we need a select senate committee to look at the abuses at the fbi and we need to make some serious changes. change number one, we should not have a 10-year term for fbi director. you have to get elected twice to be president for 8 years. no fbi director should serve for 10 years. steve: let's see what happens. ian, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thanks for having me. steve: 6:21 in new york city. new call to arm troops on bases after that deadly shooting last week in pence cola. why aren't men and women serving our country allowed to carry a gun to protect themselves? we have a military panel to discuss that coming up next. and, elizabeth warren wants

3:28 am
about wild west. in florida can you carry a gun. we are not walking around shooting each other. >> exactly. going to your point of something you brought up a little bit earlier is that when we were in afghanistan everyone was required to carry their weapons at all times it wasn't a suggestion or option. it was a requirement. it's not until we get on to u.s. bases on american soil do our soldiers -- are our soldiers now required to believe like sheeps sent out to slaughter. suddenly incapable of defending themselves. brian: you think it should be an option. not everyone wants to carry you don't have to but should be an option. >> to have a personal conceal carry. one of the ironies is on the military base you are stripped of your second amendment rights. you could live out in town in florida or texas or one of the places where military base is nut carolinas and you leave the post, and then you get your second amendment rights back you are actually safer. brian: it doesn't happen
3:29 am
that much. we go back to fort hood and what happened yesterday in hawaii. it doesn't happen that much. are we overreacting now because of what happened in pensacola? >> i don't think we are overreacting. it's past time for us to have this conversation. we were talking earlier how the -- we have private security forces that are meant to secure these bases. now, those private security forces are armed. but we don't have the soldiers that are armed right now. and when you think about what happened with fort hood, you think about the threat of radical islamic terrorists infiltrating and that same threat can happen with the private security forces as it can with these soldiers i say give them conceal carry. brian: took pervasive action. 980 saudis training into the classroom. we have to screen you better. i'm not for scrapping this program with international officers coming here to train with us. are you? >> no, not necessarily. we need to do a much better job in distinction britishing what world we think we live in and what kind of world we actually live. in i get it. when we are on american soil

3:36 am
know the identity of both shooters 47-year-old david anderson and 50-year-old francine graham. the "new york post" is reporting that both attackers were adherence to the fringe religious group called the black hebrew israelites. it's a religious movement that's been labeled a hate group. sources also telling the post the shooters left behind a handwritten note inside a stolen u-haul van that says quote i do this because my creator makes me do this and i hate who he hates. even though investigators have yet to give a motive behind the attack. jersey city mayor claims the evidence shows this was anti-semitic hate crime. he says the shooters posted anti-semitic messages on social media. cctv surveillance cameras clearly show both shooters getting out of u-haul van with long guns and then aggressively and delusional firing into the jewish kosher grocery store killing three. the store co-owner, 31-year-old mindy ferencz mother of three.
3:37 am
moshe deutsche and douglas rodriguez. morey a customer inside the store. >> a few hundred bullets went into the body of a 24-year-old child. how can we as a community, as people bear that? >> wow. investigators say that the -- there was a working viable pipe bomb inside that stolen u-haul van and that both of these attackers were prime suspects in an unrelated murder of an uber driver here in new jersey. back to you guys. steve: all right. bryan llenas live in jersey city. thank you so much. we will have the mayor of jersey city with us about 45 minutes from right now. ainsley: let's bring in judge andrew napolitano, host of liberty file on fox nation. judge, thanks for being here. >> sure. it's a very, very difficult
3:38 am
story to accept. look, they should have had the right to defend themselves. let's get right to the bottom of this. you stop creeps like this with superior fire power. in new jersey, where steve and i live, it is nearly impossible to get the right to carry guns because the government doesn't respect the second amendment rights. that's issue number one. issue number two is these two people were texting each other. they capture every text we do. they look at them after the tragedy. they don't stop them in time. of what value is there to this constant surveillance if they are going to use it for historical purposes rather than prevent these claments before they happen? brian: the other thing to add to that is we are going to be looking at everybody's text messages and they go, okay. napolitano, i'm worried about him. i'm not worry about ainsley. so, you can't monitor. >> it's information overload. they should be monitoring the crazies like these people. brian: that group should be examined. >> correct. not everybody else. they know they belong to a
3:39 am
terrorist group. some sort of black jews that wants to kill orthodox jews. this is mind boggling this can exist in measure, today and potential victims are stripped of their rights to defend themselves. steve: speak of rights. given the fact that you were talking about how all our data is collected by the government and they look at it after something bad happens to figure out who else is involved. you looked at the horowitz report and testimony yesterday. and you. >> don't ask me to read the entire report because i did. steve: you you are a good man. he laid bear that there were problems at the fbi they completely had their thumb on the scale to get the feeds warrant to spy on the trump campaign. >> there is no question that that is the case. there is to disputing that, whether you are in favor of president trump or whether you can't stand president trump. steve: everybody should be worried about what happened. >> correct. if they can do this to the future and eventually the incumbent president of the united states, they could do it to anybody.
3:40 am
fisa is profoundly unconstitutional. because of the very, very, very low threshold that permits fbi and nsa agents to go to fisa and get a search warrant. brian: you are for trashing it? >> i'm for trashing it. i'm for the traditional you show probable cause of crime and i will sign the search warrant. when i sign the search warrant, if you don't give me exculpatory information that you have, i'm going to invalidate the search warrant. i was trying a homicide case once. in the middle of the case i said to the lawyers where did you get this from? we got it from a search warrant. who would sign a search warrant knowing all of this? they smirked and said you signed it two years ago but you didn't tell me about all of this. i'm invalidating my own search warrant because the lawyers for the defendant were able to challenge and test what was submitted to me. in fisa, because it's in secret, there is no challenge. there is no test. the fbi and the nsa agents can get away with whatever they want. brian: you can't legislate integrity. >> what mike horowitz did was the first time in 40

i urge my colleagues to support them as well. >> republicans remain unified against it, blasting kind of rushed and unfair. ranking member doug collins had this to say. >> what you need to continue to say is we can't beat him next year. the only thing we need is a 30 second commercial saying we impeached him. that's the wrong reason to impeach somebody. >> while today's committee vote is predictable. the math on the house floor is something we should be watching. speaker pelosi needs 216 votes to pass. we have 31 democrats from districts trump carried. she can only afford to lose 17 of them. latest monmouth poll shows 50% of americans oppose impeaching and removing the president that's moved in 3 percentage points in favor of the president consider the history lesson. take you back to 1998 in the wake of bill clinton's impeachment and senate acquittal, democrats gained three seats in the house. four in the astronaut. and the immediate aftermath in the same month of his
4:04 am
acquittal, clinton's approval rating jumped 7%. guys? brian: griff, keep in mind too. bill clinton apologized he got caught and he lied under oath and still had the sentiment of the american public because this trial dragged on so long. this president says i did nothing wrong and there is a lot of republicans as you see debating whether he did anything wrong. so it's very much up to debate hence the close vote. steve: that's right. and the senate always acquits. brian: this is where griff says i made a great point. griff: it's a great point, brian. consider also back then there was more bipartisan voting than what we have seen so far today. ainsley: it wasn't down party lines. do you bring up a great point because it was proven that he lied. in this situation it's an opinion. can you read was there quid pro quo? was there not? everyone has different opinions. steve: indeed. let's bring in jason chaffetz for his opinion. former congressman and chair of the houseover sight and government affairs committee joins us from d.c. jason, explain to the folks

ship. a question as griff pointed out how many people on the democratic side of the aisle are going to stop following nadler, schiff, pelosi, and i got to tell you i just -- i think it's an absolute sham. brian: jason, i tuned in last night, another network because i thought our prime time was smart enough to dip in and out. it's the same argument over and over again. the same argument since september. the same argument for the last three weeks. the same argument from two days ago. they don't listen to each other. they talk through each other and it goes around in a circle which makes me want to switch gears and talk about something you know quite well because you have a relationship with michael horowitz, the ig report. first off, what did you glean from yesterday that you didn't pick up in the 434 pages? >> i thought the report itself was stronger than ever. i think i actually understand this idea of was there bias at the -- inception and that whole question is whether or not the proper predicate was there premr. pre-step was
4:07 am
not one that was in the email chains and had all these sort of almost evil thoughts, if you will, about the commander-in-chief or the would be commander-in-chief. and he is the one that pulled the trigger. that's like page 1. but the other 474 pages, where it's damns as it can possibly get. because the michael horowitz is not saying that there wasn't bias on the fisa applications. in fact, quite the opposite. he is pointing out 17 serious omissions, errors, everything you could possibly do wrong in going to the courts. so, what steps next is what is the court going to do? are they going to actually stand up for themselves? i will tell you, any other court in the land, you would be yanked back in front of there and put handcuffs on you, and then what is mr. durham going to do? because there are a lot of unanswered questions there. biggest question for me? why was the friendly foreign government meeting with papadopoulos? with all due respect, he was a nobody in his 20's. and that question was never
4:08 am
even addressed by horowitz, and i think durham will be addressing it. ainsley: jason, they omitted critical, crucial information that would have changed the fisa court's opinion. would have changed these applications being approved if they had had that information in there. they left out things like they didn't tell the judges who paid for the dossier. it turns out it's opposing political campaign. it was unverified, the does yea. they lied in four separate warrants. they omitted evidence. they doctored material and then this week james comey who, you know, this all happened under his watch when he was at the fbi. he said past fisa abuse is nonsense. he signed off on three of the four fisa alps. he swore his information was accurate. this week said it vindicated him. lindsey graham questioned horowitz on that. listen. >> former fbi director james comey said this week that your report convinced indicates him. is that a fair assessment of your report? >> you know, i think the activities we found here don't vindicate anybody who touched this. steve: and he asked the
4:09 am
question does that also apply to andrew mccabe? and he said yeah. from top to bottom it sure looks fishy. >> beyond fishy. i think the so-called attorney number two, the one who took the document and then altered it and doctored it and then presented to the court, i mean, these are people that really need to be prosecuted. up and down the entire food chain. i think i agree with senator lindsey graham that they need to hear from rod rosenstein. i think comey needs to come back before that committee. he was out with an op-ed saying oh this cleared him before he had even read this thing. that is a bunch of hogwash. and i do think there is more that needs to be sorted out about bruce ohr, his wife is working for what was payments from the democrats. and then taking that information 13 times and funneling it back to the fbi after the fbi under their own rules said we shouldn't be talking to steele. steve: jason at one pointed cruz said look, you look at the fbi, we are not talking about jason born the famous

4:19 am
election is two totally competing ideas for the future of the u.k. this will really have an effect on the country for many years to come. here is boris johnson speaking yesterday. >> this contest is tight and getting tighter. the choice for our amazing country could not be starker. indeed, i can't remember an election in my political lifetime when there has been such a chasm between the two possible futures for this country. >> so on one side there, you have prime minister boris johnson and the conservatives. he voted this morning along with his dog. if they win, and with a majority, brexit goes through and the u.k. you, at least in their words will embrace free and open trade with the rest of the world. crucially it will seek a new path for the u.k. out of eu hand in hand with the u.s. on the other side if jeremy corbyn and the labour party
4:20 am
wins couldn't be more different. promising socialist agendas, nationalizing major companies. taking out $600 billion in loans to do so and also spoken out quite sour terms about president trump. as you point out, this election has one crucial issue of brexit. and what it has done it has divided this country many people are breaking with traditional voting alliances. people who have never voted conservative before will do so because they supported brexit and visa versa. polls close at 5:00 eastern tonight. we will get exit polls soon after that. but, really at the moment, no one is quite sure who is going to win. boris johnson dropping his lead over the past week or. so real significant for the u.k. and also trans-atlantic relationship. brian, steve and ainsley. brian: is it true that boris johnson hid in the refrigerator rather than talk to piers morgan? >> he was corn ared live on air yesterday morning and, you know, he was in the middle of a photo

4:39 am
2018, have you seen democrats run saying that they are going to be independent and they are going to be different and they are going to be focused on solutions for american people. instead all we have seen is a focus on impeachment and it is political theater. and that's at the cost to public policy. and i think people are sick of seeing that they really want to see people who are going to go to congress and do what they say they are going to do which is the meat and potatoes of getting things done for americans. ainsley: i'm sitting here thinking this is so amazing. country so great. other countries where women can't even drive and we have these beautiful, wonderful, strong women running for congressional seats raising kids, raising grandkids now. and trying to continue what america was founded on. why -- tell me -- let me go down the line and y'all tell me your stories. there are people out there that want to know who you are. what to know about you before they go to the polls. >> i was born in small town
