>> sean: continues on capitol hill tonight, nadler and company and thusly debate the bogus fact free articles of impeachment. this is a national embarrassment. they are hurting this case for their kids and grandkids. this madness has to stop. you have the power. we help you set your dvr. never miss an episode and will never be the media mob and let not your heart be troubled. see you tomorrow. >> laura:dv a i'm laura ingraham and this is the "ingraham angle." back in washington tonight. now before we begin this analysis of this farce of impeachment -- i'm coughing because i can't believe it's still going on in capitol hill. it's going until four in the morning, another event that shows the enduring power of the movement donald trump created. economic nationalism. sovereignty. independence from international bureaucracies. and controlling one's destiny. that movement is sweeping through the u.k. tonight. where the anti-brexit labour party is resounding defeat in parliamentary elections making the u.k.'s exit from the e.u. a

certainty. just like the ones in our own countries, the elites in britain believe know better than the other is for the globalist work for three and a half years trying to turn public opinion against brexit. guess what? they voted for brexit in a referendum. the elites failed miserably. this also means that donald trump will soon have yet another trade success on his hands. his administration will proceed to strike its own deal, a bilateral one, with britain. excellent news for the usa, good news for britain. here's hoping the results of this u.k. both presses trump's reelection as the original brexit vote did the first time around. you see the boris-trump friendship like thatcher-reagan, not exactly the same, but very

interesting how we have this similar track. and now you are live at the judiciary committee as they continue to debate articles of impeachment against president trump. this has been a complete joke all day long. we expect an actual vote on whether the committee will send this to the full floor any moment. so stay with us. will bring it right to you. congressman steve scalise and ken buck are going to join us at the end of the hour. going to come out for a live update. important for you to get that. plus dershowitz and dylan explain how this whole power has weaken democrats' hands, and ed henry going to bring us some behind the scenes reporting on whether the g.o.p. senate will call witnesses like the whistle-blower, hunter biden, please, please, kellyanne conway tells us what the white house wants. and the ig report reveals a number of bad actors and the fbi, i kid you not. they are still working there. mollie hemingway and john

solomon react. but first, see nancy fade. that's the focus of tonight's angle. after democrats recapture the house majority in 2018, nancy pelosi became the most powerful woman in washington. some said that she was too old, the party needed to trade up for a newer model. but she sure showed them. at 79 years of age, she remains the only woman to ever hold the position of speaker of the house, let alone hold it two separate times. >> she is the glue keeping the whole washington scene together. >> laura: that was a few months back. do you think that still holds? a year ago she seemed unstoppable. a group of new female lawmakers who are mad as hell and not

going to take it anymore. >> and then they became fed up with it. and then they fight crime, they right wrong, they wear white but they are not all white. we love them. the women of congress! featuring maximum clap back nancy pelosi. >> laura: she's so woke, she can close her eyes? i had to have water for that. all week long, she's been a woman on a very difficult mission. resist trump without appearing to be unreasonable. and resist the radicals in her own party without alienating them at the ballot box. if you went too far either way, she could blow her party's chances for 2020. and time after time on issues big and small, the beltway press and key democrats praise her finesse, her power, and her style.

and even her body language. >> ridiculous partisan investigations. [applause] we have just heard that mexican cities' cooperation compromised the common good. [applause] >> laura: and on the infamous clap back? look at that. [laughter] >> that's the way you clap when you are a husband puts the toilet paper on the roller. [laughter] you learn! look at you. >> laura: so condescending. but they poured on the praise, heaped on the praise, even on her handling of the government shutdown. actor director rob reiner called her a strong, brilliant,

experienced public servant. joe biden clearly agrees. at least when nancy seems to have aoc plus three in check. >> i think this was masterful. i think someone criticized nancy. >> laura: come on, man. pelosi one applied even for the sheer strength, as this infamous photo in the october meeting with the president at the white house. her feminist pals and media boosters went absolutely gaga over it. >> can we do one more beat on the photo? look at the photo of one woman standing up and, you know, giving it to the president of the united states at the table with all men there. >> pelosi on her feet alone, alone in the room. in the red dress. >> all i could think well of is that pence is involved in this

murky stuff too and pelosi is third in line. >> be still my heart. >> laura: must've been a pretty different color pattern in the video. but nancy's theatrics don't stop with pointing. she walks away. she comes back too. >> i don't hate anybody. i was raised catholic, and i don't hate anybody in the world. don't mess with me. >> i've never seen anybody leave, a member of congress with tough capitol hill reporters in stunned silence. >> laura: here's the problem. by getting sucked into impeachment against her better judgment, nancy pelosi also walked away from common sense. now at times in the last few weeks, even the last month, she looked like her body was actually rejecting impeachment

like a bad organ transplant. >> i have no message for them. we do not whip this into legislation. people have to come to their own conclusions. they have seen the facts as presented, the intelligence committee, they know it, they take the oath to protect and defend. but they see constitutional experts. speak about it and they think about it, they'll make their own decision. i don't say anything to them. >> laura: wait a second, it's incontrovertible evidence of an impeachable offense, but they can do what they want. i'm not going to do -- i'm not going to whip these votes. odd. after a year after accomplishing nothing of substance except the support this week after over a year for the usmca, pelosi's future is suddenly not looking so bright. the polls show lowest support for impeaching this president, and the swing state outlook horrendous for the democrats on that same issue. the economy was soaring, the

market soaring 220 points at the closing bell today. trump is also looking very confident. of course, the usmca is finally done. big progress with china. his approval numbers have not been affected at all with impeachment. his numbers for handling the economy about 50%. whether he's doing events for choice or whether for school choice, or he's fighting anti-semitism, or just resenting us, that's all, at nato. meanwhile, nancy's party up on capitol hill right now, the floundering, desperately trying to make people care about impeachment even though she doesn't care enough to whip the vote for it. but reality is beginning to sink in. >> if you looking at those independent voters, the polls do not look good for the democrats. >> what struck me about this

hearing was how donald trump in a way has already won. >> laura: wow. is there a plan b here? does san fran grand ma'am have a rescue strategy ready to employ? >> this is a very sad time for our country. we have to be very careful. -- prayerful. >> laura: and that is the angle. joining me now, alan dershowitz, harvard law professor at meredith, and harmeet dhillon, attorney and trump 2020 campaign advisory board member. alan, i have to ask you. there are reports that trump is considering you for his impeachment team. in other words, you would be on capitol hill. perhaps questioning witnesses, perhaps putting on the case. is this true? >> i can't comment about any conversations i've had with the president. >> laura: so it is true. i spoke to the president yesterday it. i was in the white house. i was pleased to be called on by the president to make a small speech in favor of his executive

order, banning anti-semitism at colleges and universities. at this point in time, i can't comment about this possibility. >> laura: so now that we've got that out of the way, harmeet, professor dershowitz is being considerate down the considered by the trump team. excellent choice, i might add. harmeet, you're watching the spectacle unfold on capitol hill. nancy pelosi who, today, we found out, "forbes" magazine named her the third most powerful woman in the world behind angela merkel and then christine lagarde. everybody else is from the e.u., basically. but she's a third most important in the world. this big effort for the year is cratering. what gives now, as a legal matter, with his impeachment? >> her big effort was to stave off the impeachment. i think she's too smart to have been the person who pushed it but she's been pushed into it that she's been weeks since the moment of the 2018 election and though she won power back, she has been pushed further and

further and further to the left. to me, like you said, laura, she looks like her body has been rejecting it. she looked like a hostage to me. she knows it's going to end badly. she's a hostage of the situati situation. looking at how many bodies are on the floor. >> laura: harmeet, wait, wait, wait. this doesn't make any sense to me. how do you go from being the most important and powerful woman of the united states come historic, historic, historic, as speaker of the house, now she's afraid of aoc plus three? like they run the whole country? it is ridiculous. >> she's weakened over time. wondering why she did and hanging up the last election but the left has gotten further and further and further away from civil rights. alan and i were old enough to remember when the left believe people should have due process and the right to confront their accusers, that constitution mattered, they throw that out the door for the new left does not care about any of that. they only care about power. they don't care about the country or the future. she's in the grip of that,

laura. she's been trying. she's been cutting deals. >> laura: harmeet -- wait a minute, my earings fell off because of your comment there you had too much of the san francisco water. okay? i'm going to go to ellen. alan. how are democrats battling this obstruction charge? they are bringing it to the president this way, alan. watch. >> obstruction of congress means the defiance of lawfully issued subpoenas by the united states house of representatives. unlike the obstruction of congress that has taken place in the past. this president's obstruction of congress has been totaled, has been absolute. >> this needs to be adjudicated by the third branch, the gestural branch, there is no privilege being asserted here. >> laura: what grade would you give democrats arguing for the final?

>> this is the most dangerous ground of impeachment ever authored for the president. what it does is it undercuts our separation of powers and our system of checks and balances. it basically says that congress is the superior branch. we are a parliamentary democracy. instead of a tripartite government where you have three branches. the president entitled to resist subpoenas from congress and say the courts have to decide. this is extraordinarily dangerous and the senate ought to seriously consider simply dismissing that, not even having a trial on that because it's such a dangerous and unconstitutional aspect of any impeachment. >> laura: harmeet, doug collins was beyond outraged today about this article of impeachment -- frankly, the entire charade. this is where it got really, really hot. watch.

>> my question is, where is your crimes? you talked about them, you want people to think they are there. the problem is if you had that you would put articles on it. you don't have it so you did and for articles on it. that's the stain in your article! that's the stain on this committee. this committee couldn't make their case, so they come up with abuse of power. >> laura: harmeet, they kept going on. this is worse than nixon. council went and appeared before the committee. they said all the staffers could go and speak freely to the committee. but not trump. his white house counsel said, not going to go. all day long they made that case. >> right. these people are shredding the constitution, laura, like alan said. it's untethered, pure political expression of power. it is going to have lasting consequences for this country. they do not want them to have due process.

they want it to be a crime to resist a subpoena. that's our human right under the constitution. if you question something, you have the right to adjudicate that. they are trying to deter future presidents from exercising those constitutional rights. an exchange that for what, for adam schiff getting people's phone records? and ignoring due process? that's what we are doing in this country. this process is really a stain on the democrats. >> laura: alan, one more thing i have to get to. when this and this, everyone watching that this is over, impeachment is done, we'll move on to substance or policy. we have congresswomen today making the case that this is just the beginning of impeachment. watch what karen bathe said. >> would you be inclined to take a second bite at the apple and reintroduce the exact same impeachment articles and then send it through again? >> you know, yes. there is still a number of court cases. there is a ton of information

that could come forward. for example, we could get his bank records and find out that he is only 100% by the russians. >> laura: okay! alan, that's insane as it gets but they are serious. this isn't going to stop with this. they would not let this man govern the country. they cannot. it has infected their bodies. >> this would be a terrible precedent. it would mean anytime is a controversial president of any kind, he gets impeached. thank goodness for hypocrisy, because the next time the democrats get a president, there may be efforts to impeach. but people will change their views because nobody passes that she will the other foot. it's whose ax's being gored, different rules for democrats, different rules for republicans. the constitution set out one set of criteria. they have to be applied no matter who was in office but hamilton so worried about partisan impeachment, it turns on the number of voters you have rather than the guilt or

innocence of the person being impeached. >> laura: alan and harmeet, thank you very much. the aclu also getting to impeachment, bye-bye to that civil rights organization. we are waiting for tonight's vote to send impeachment to the entire house. but the public is onto this game. according to the real clear politics polling average, public support for democrats' effort hit a new low as opposition reached its highest point since democrats prosperous country began two months ago. what's the reason that support for impeachment is falling? tom bevan. democrats have not been able to make their case. republicans have been steadfast, democrats have been steadfast in opposition. independents have not moved. they've moved away from the president. notice the national numbers, we

aggregate the national data, is the latest, they been taken over the last week or so. as you mentioned the top of the show, the numbers are even worse, it was down. it showed 40% in favor of impeachment, 52% against. amongst independents, it's 34-57. again, even amongst the voters in the middle, impeachment is not playing well. 51% michigan, 52%. >> laura: how important do you think the republicans by serious unity of message has been on this impeachment sell by the democrats? >> i think it's been important. because again, at the initial outset of the opening inquiry, no republicans voted for it. so they were not able to make

the case, if anything, it's bipartisan in the other direction. the fact that the republican congress has held together has boosted the republican behind trump. >> laura: they did with kavanaugh, support behind kavanaugh was very strong. we've complained that the republicans are a circular fire squad. always hitting each other, nitpicking over every aspect of policy and look at the long ball. we want to play the long ball. >> the economist yougov see themselves as twice as unified as democrats right now which is interesting. >> laura: do you think the brexit vote of the parliamentary elections, given that they would be finished over, three and a half years, the elites could not turn it over against them. >> it was a preface to donald trump's election. in 2016 and here again we had a

boat that was thought to be a lot closer than it ended up being. it was a blowout. if the numbers hold, it'll be the worst performance for labor since 1935 and the best performance, the most pickup of seats for the tories since thatcher in '87. heading into another election where it's going be very close and competitive if things could tip one way -- >> laura: i'm going to go find them all. they are yelling at me. i got to get out of this. see you. great to see you. ahead, the senate g.o.p. wants a speedy impeachment trial, but why is that the case? does the white house wants that? ed henry has exclusive reporting before counselor to the president kellyanne conway joins us live from the white house briefing room. stay there.

>> hi, everyone a fox news alert. president with boris johnson on projected win over the labour party. the president tweeting britain and the united states will now be free to strike a massive new trade deal after brexit. conservatives will now occupy the majority of seats in parliament. all of this vindication for johnson who rose to the position of prime minister 20 weeks ago based on strong support for brexit. the ruling party behind him, johnson will now be able to ratify the brexit deal he struck with a european union allowing the united kingdom to leave january 31st. but that is not going to be easy for johnson. not everything. the e.u. is the largest trading block. and a member for nearly 50 years. once they leave the

prime minister, the docking challenge of international trade deals preserving lenton's position as a top global financial capital and a divided nation. johnson will also have to negotiate another trade deal with president trump recapping this big story for you. britain's conservative party by boris johnson is claiming a landslide victory over the labour party in thursday's national election. conservatives will now occupy a huge majority piece in parliament with the ruling party behind them, johnson can ratify swiftly the brexit deal with the european union allowing the united kingdom with the world's largest trading block januar january 31st. i'm anna kooiman in new york city and we now return you to your regular scheduled program and progress.

>> could drag it out and force democrats to own the mess they created. sources telling fox tonight that the white house does prefer the >> he was not there a few days ago when they started laying out the articles. and you have republicans and the senate and you have people inside of the white house who say why shouldn't adam schiff testify not just about how this whole case is put together, but his contacts or his staff's contact with the whistle-blower, maybe force the whistle-blower to testify. that's come up from louie gohmert and others live in the house judiciary committee. most of all, they want hunter biden. remember where all of this started on your crane, rudy -- ukraine, rudy giuliani, others were saying that the media has not focused on the fact that hunter biden got all this money from ukraine but did not know what he did to

earn the money while his father, the sitting vice president overseeing policy for the obama administration. if there is going to be a trial, the president and his advisors want hunter biden front and center if not joe biden as well. >> laura: finally, the white house obviously feel confident -- they want to go for the full-fledged trial. they are really confident tonight that not only are they going to win this, but they are going to punish the bad actors who started this. >> no doubt as they watch this play out before us, laura. look, take the victory. already winning this battle when you look at polls in iowa, wisconsin the last 24-48 hours i suggest as tom evans reporting a -- tom bevins was reporting a moment ago that especially with independent voters, they are turning against impeachment. if you can get a motion to dismiss, move on. in the end, that may be where they move on. who knows? this is a fluid situation. what i'm hearing, let the democrats on this, laura. >> laura: is it a touchdown or are you going for it? >> do you kick the football...

or just move on. >> laura: there is a lot of different ways to play it. i do understand why why the senate would want a speedy trial pair they've got a lot of other stuff to do. they've got a lot on their plate. what about accountability and justice? we said this during kavanaugh, we say it now. join me now is kellyanne conway, counselor to the president, i'm sure she's been involved in a lot of these conversations, what's next. kellyanne, what is the white house's stance on this? we know you think is a sham, a farce, a circus, but what about what is next? take us to that next step. >> the next is a senate trial unlike in the ridiculous house proceedings committee president and an his attorneys would be permitted to present evidence, challenge evidence, present their own witnesses, object. laura, in the record in this country would you have somebody in the role of the judge, adam schiff, jerry nadler, going off for 3-5 minutes insulting and denigrating the defendant,

donald trump, who can have his own attorney present. we want our president to have fewer due process rights you would in any regular proceeding. but i have to say, looking forward to the senate trial? let's focus on this week. this is the most successful weeks of the trump presidency. he got the china trade deal done, usmca done, helping autoworkers, farmers in this country. mexico and canada agreement. he got the ndaa signed again, had it in place for over 50 years. the third consecutive pay raise for military in his watch. the third consecutive 700 billion plus investment in the military on his watch. the paid family leave. space for a spear that was all this week. we haven't got to friday yet. yes. >> sean: it's your sense then, it's better as ed said -- >> we already got the win.

we are already on substance. the president has been doing the business of his people. they are focused on impeachment. i do not think we "take the win." i think you fully exonerate the president. we have not had a chance to do that. the democrats really screwed up the process many times here. shouldn't call for the impeachment inquiry nancy pelosi before she saw the call, transcript. she should not have done a lot of things. >> laura: kellyanne, you read people really well. do you think -- we were talking about this earlier, i'm just curious about your opinion. do you think pelosi is going, what did i do? inside? >> has to be. a year ago, she was whipping the votes getting people to vote for her for speaker. almost didn't make it if you remember. a lot of people who promised to get new leadership, fresh faces, new blood once they come to washington as newly elected

democratic members of congress were not going to vote her in for speaker. since then, the agenda that has actually passed and is meaningful is the trump agenda. with usmca, spaceports, his and vice president pence's. >> laura: they are on the substance. they are on destruction and takedown. >> something else going on here. they all miss an opportunity to be here tonight. the president and first lady hosted the annual bipartisan congressional black tie affair here for the democrats could've come and said, mr. president, why don't you come to my district, why don't you come, usmca is going to help the farmers in our district. they are busy being down the impeaching instead of being here at the white house being with the president and first lady and anybody else, how can you work together? they have no interest in this. they do not want to work together, but you ignore that? almost like an out-of-body experience for us. we will be there for the senate

trying to be a real trial that the country can relate to. >> laura: as i said after the kavanaugh -- >> great analogy. >> laura: people leaks documents and they never paid. they were never exposed. >> they will pay when donald trump is president for five years. >> laura: back actors and the fbi and bad actors still in politics. kellyanne, great to see you tonight. thank you for being with us. why are some of these main perpetrators of the fisa abuse against the trump campaign, why are they stay still getting taxpayer-funded salaries? you are paying for them. mollie hemingway, john solomon take on the deep state's resilience. what to do about it next.

♪ >> misdeeds you documented in the report. are they still in your knowledge

working at the fbi? >> my understanding and some are. >> why are they still there? >> you have to ask director wray. >> about carter page's relationship with other intelligence agencies and our government who directly misled the oi about that? >> that person is still there. >> laura: does that took your breath away? it took mine when i watched it live. apparently the fbi is just letting rampant political bias run amok in the agency. you heard the inspector general saying they are still working at the fbi, case agent number one. that's important because the report labels case agent number one as being "primarily responsible for some of the most significant errors and omissions in the fisa applications." the deep state which doesn't exist, is clearly alive and well. joining me is mollie hemingway

and john solomon. shouldn't we know this person's name? >> we should know this person's name and so involved in the wrong actions taken, so much to do with crossed by a hurricane, -- cross fire hurricane. so much to do with the stuff on helper, americans need to know who he is buried so many bad actors who have left, have been fired, resigned. do not have a thorough accounting of who exactly did everything. >> laura: john solomon, when i read in that report, when donald trump got his first briefing, his intel briefing august 27th 2017, we find out the fbi portion of this briefing was choreographed. by peter strzok. now, he's doing the investigation cross fire hurricane but also doing the informational briefing outline? what? >> the trust between you and your beaver is very important

and here they are using it as an explication effort against the president instead of just informing the future president of what he needed. that was fine. now you know why bill barr called this spying. >> remember that senator grassley said years ago that you are doing this, year ago said we didn't do it all. there needs to be things in with how the fbi dealt with oversight. on these issues. >> laura: they took notes on trump's briefing from a very specific notes. they didn't take notes's hearing, but they said it's the same. we will take your word for it. that is as far as we can go. you have to understand, the answers are as far left as you can go which they were stupid enough to do it which they were except for strozk and page. now one cnn correspondent, a former fbi agent, a close friend of jim comey is worried that barr's reaction, bill barr's reaction will have a chilling effect at the fbi. >> i'm hearing from a number of current informing officials that

the concern and wake of this inspector general report centers on the current attorney general's characterization of the fbi's actions. we heard from one fbi official told us, we are constantly told to be agile and use all of the legal tools available to us, but who is going to risk sticking their neck out now only to have doj chop it off? >> laura: mollie, what the ig reported, that's the concern? they'll not be free enough to do this again? >> that the fbi doesn't care about the behavior being a bad thing is very interesting but the person who used to work at the fbi, he started working for cnn shortly after cnn got the leak about the.ca meeting, things that legitimize the dossier. what's so interesting about the inspector general report is the tells us the dossier is under bunk and the fbi knew that. think of all the things that happened, the starting of a special counsel, getting a wiretap in so many other things,

how are they going to hold these people accountable when it's the actual colleagues? >> we just saw the hear no evil, see no evil mentality at the fbi. the fbi went to court and divulged -- just think about this. >> sean: why is christopher wray ahead of the fbi? today, after all we know the amount the fbi went up there saying that we have no documents communicant into the fisa court to give people against all the things enumerated. >> laura: they should sanction these things. jeffrey toobin, his concern is

that hunter biden mentioned >> what struck me about this hearing is held donald trump in the way has already won. how much did we hear about hunter biden? over and over again about hunter biden. it's going to be a real challenge to decide how much to follow along with this. i just don't know what our responsibility is as journalist because it's not the point, but this is the news. >> laura: we can't cover hunter biden because it's front and center? and impeachment and republicans are unified on the issue, molly. >> they didn't think this through. this whole impeachment has been pushed by people in the media. they thought they can control media. it's not helpful to joe biden. there are really driven issues with hunter biden, how much money he has made, really the whole biden family, it's a legitimate issue and people will talk about it about it. >> laura: how important is it that this actually results in witnesses testifying and being crossed?

>> really important to the president. he wants to show what he did had a basis, when he had conversations but i think mitch mcconnell is going to try to look for the fastest way to get over it to move on. but there are other ways to go. lindsey graham separately can get hearings. hunter biden is going to be under the microscope for a long thing. >> laura: coming up, democrats expect defections on impeachment but they highly thought it was going to be this many. congressman steve scalise and buck sexton joining me as democrats losing their nerves as the final vote drawing near.

here to respond, congressman steve scalise. house minority and house judiciary committee who had to be sitting there listening to this! congressman, let's go to you. you are spearheading the effort to whip votes against impeachment. do you reach out to any of your democrat pals? >> i'm just glad you didn't crack like a duck. it sad to see what the party has become and what the social and move into taking over in the democrat side, no moderates, and the liberals surely. it's a socialist party and you are seeing it play out. with these articles of impeachment, there is no barack obama didn't help ukraine. he didn't sell -- >> laura: i don't think anybody else cares about ukraine. i was there in 1983. no one cares. everybody knows this is a farce. >> it's a farce, a sham, losing in the court of public opinion miserably. there are democrats who want to vote no but can't because they know aoc is going to primary them. nothing to impeach this president on.

i think it is played out incredibly well. president trump has stayed focused on getting the economy back on track for this is going to be a disaster for them next week. >> laura: the labour movement in britain moved from the left, they got wiped out tonight. jeremy corbyn steps down as the head of labour party. it was a relief to step out of the hearing, i know. just because you had to sit there, we have to share this with our viewers of things johnson was saying about the trump-zelensky call. this is where the analysis has gone. watch. >> 6'4" president trump, 5'11" mr. zelensky. standing there, president from holding court and says, no pressure. and you saw president zelensky shaking his head like his daughter was downstairs in the basement. duct tape.

>> laura: congressman buck, there's no words left trying to conjure them up here. what are you doing? you are sitting here watching this. making your christmas list? what are you doing in that front? >> i was texting with a lot of friends but it's absolutely absurd. arguments were made over and over and over again. no new information came out. we did not see any eyewitnesses, four law school professors in there to talk about it with us, but nothing substantive a game out of the judiciary proceedings. one week fiduciary committee met, one week. to impeach a president. absolutely absurd to go through this process. >> laura: they are taking this so seriously that congressman found out just a few weeks ago was watching golf -- was it his phone, guys? it was a laptop. he's watching golf. they aren't even taking it seriously. they know it's over but they

can't back off the edge of the branch. right? they can't. they are just going to saw it off. >> they keep referencing the mueller report. there is not a single reference to the mueller report because there was nothing impeachable in the mueller report, nothing impeachable on the phone call. there is nothing except for number one, they are upset that he won the 2016 election. two, they are scared to death he's going to win the 2020 election because he's done everything promised. the economy is back on track. and he's creating more jobs. we get the associate trade deal and look at the opponents. you've got a bunch of socialist competing against each other and the company has tuned him out. so they are free falling as a party and their answer is to impeach the president? when you ought to go and figure out how to rebuild the party as opposed to destroy our democracy. >> and i am doing my nancy party for you. on the issue of democrat defections, "the washington post" is reporting that lawmakers and senior aides are proudly

predicting they will lose the democrats' inquiry rules back in late september. two senior democratic aides said the total could be as many as a half-dozen while a third says the number could be higher. congressman buck, what are you hearing? real quick. >> i think we will see double digits, the number of democrats that lead on the vote, i think it's going to be a lot closer than people think. >> laura: go back to the torture zone. sorry. thanks to the both of you being there tonight. coming up, we have breaking news about the future of the u.k. a lot more coming up. don't go away. you always get me. get free next business day shipping or ...1 hour in-store pick up. shopping season solved at office depot officemax ...or officedepot.com. same time next week. yes!

..

>> i also want to make it clear that i will not leave the party at any future general election campaign.

>> who was the guy in that behind jeremy corbin? there are calls for resignation but he's only saying he will not run as the leader of the party going forward. stepping aside in all but words. i'm sure his fellow lefties would rather just see him fade away from the public arena. >> this is a fox news alert, lawmakers at this late hour are still debating articles of impeachment against donald trump. democrats are poised to hold the keys those and send them to the house for a full vote but tonight's marathon markup session is evolving into a fiery sparring match, republicans united, unwavering in their opposition and some democrats might be. don't go anywhere and it is being called a decisive win
