[cheers and applause] ainsley: good to see you. hi, nice to meet you. hi, everyone.

steve: welcome aboard, folks. for the people looking in right now 6:00 a.m. in new york city during the christmas holiday season, we have people who have traveled from all across the country to be with us. brian: very interesting. they decided to sleep in the studio last night so they wouldn't miss it. [laughter] brian: they are wearing the same thing as when they came in. these are their thursday outfits. steve: brian luckily they got dressed. brian: true. ainsley: christmas in new york. isn't it magical? ainsley: i love you are all staying for the weekend and enjoying it all. brian: what a great day it would be to try to impeach the president in the house. they stayed up for the last two days staying the same thing over and over again. steve: because you may have got up early you may have missed last night in the 11:00 hour they decided you know what? it's too late, we're going to go ahead and have the impeachment vote friday morning at 10:00. that infuriated the republicans. here is.

why during one of their breaks yesterday, jerry nadler and doug collins, the republican and the democrat sat down and they agreed we're going to be done with all discussion at 5:00 and then we are going to have a vote. but then as we know, it dragged on until 11:00 and then jerry nadler pulled the plug. ainsley: here's the thing. they have been in these sessions all day until 10:34 at night on wednesday. last night they thought they would have a vote at the end of the day. stayed for 13 hours yesterday. all of our congress men and women thought they were going home to their families to celebrate the holidays. steve: doug collins was going to be on the show. ainsley: we're not going to vote today. we will make you stay in washington for another night. who pays for their plane flights probably us, right? they are staying there and appear this morning at 10:00 because of tv ratings according to doug collins. because 10:00 a.m. california was waking up. steve: we love tv ratings. we are number one. cop. on.

brian: last night to the surprise of the person to his immediate left, jerry nadler, who used that little gavel every seven seconds said this. >> the committee will now stand in recess until tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. at which points i will move to divide the question so that each of us may have the opportunity to cast up or down votes and each of the articles of impeachment so historiable our judge, committee is in recess. >> mr. chairman, there was no consulting with the ranking member on your schedule for tomorrow in which you just blown up schedules for everyone? >> this is the kangaroo court that we're talking about. >> this is outrageous. >> stalinesque, have a dictator good to hear about that. >> unbelievable. brian: that was the voice of louie gohmert. but the one thing that got away. did you guys have a chance to see any of this? it was the same -- they said the same things to each other over and over again.

steve: who thought it was a little boring. it was boring, right? [applause] brian: here is doug collins goes into the hall and he has just had a few red bulls. ainsley: they didn't work together. they are so divided. steve: washington? do you have a fever? ainsley: they used. to say ronald reagan days. do you remember? steve: doug collins who was going to be on our program today jerry nadler unbooked him for us. [sighs] >> this was the most thing ever. if american people wondered about this impeachment anymore? they don't have to wonder anymore. they saw what happened tonight. this committee is more concerned about getting on tv in the morning than it was finishing its job tonight and letting the members go home. they do not care about rules. they have one thing their hatred of donald trump. this crap like this is why people are having such a terrible opinion of congress. i don't have a chairman anymore. i guess i just need to go to

straight miss pelosi. what tv hit douse this committee need to do because this committee has lost all relevance. brian: two articles of impeachment, abuse of power which the republicans were pushing back hard on and obstruction of congress not going to last in the senate. really tough votes for democrats because you have a lot who got into seats that donald trump won, 31 in all. and you have about 8 who flat out said i have not committed to voting for impeachment. think about the embarrassment the historically of not voting for impeachment when your own party puts it up. let alone not getting any republican buy. in this is a disaster. ainsley: they are under so much heavy pressure from both sides to vote for it or vote against it. if you want to know some of these individuals, 31 democrats, max rhodes, he is a democrat from new york. he was against impeachment but he did support the inquiry. then have you alyssa slot kin she wrote to launch the inquiry. hasn't said how she will vote. patrick malone and conor alyssa milano who was a

moderate. tom from new jersey they all do support impeachment. then have you those two dems against even the inquiry and that's jeff van drew from your state, steve and collin peterson from minnesota. >> what doug collins said in that sound bite the american people are sick of this crap. can we see the hands of the people who are sick of this crap? [laughter] ainsley: how about when the president said you are all the elites. you are the elites because low unemployment. job numbers are great. the economy is great. and then sean hannity was doubling down on that on twitter. he was saying y'all think -- you know, you hate us. you can't stand us. talking to the democrat. and he said i am proud to be a smemy walmart shopper and i'm proud to be a deplorable. [cheers and applause] steve: tworge articles of impeachment. abuse of power. the democrats say, because the president said to the ukraine president hey, do me a favor, look into corruption over. there the other is

obstruction, not of justice, but of congress. now, that is essentially it's a separation of powers thing. congress and the executive branch are always at loggerheads. and if they are going to impeach a president over this, mark levin says buckle, in folks. because every president is going to get impeached. watch. >> every past president who would be subject to impeachment under the current articles being debated in the house of representatives john adams would be impeached. he shut down newspapers and imprisoned reporters. abraham lincoln would be beached. he shut down 300 newspapers. he imprisoned reporters. thomas jefferson would be imeemped. woodrow wilson would be impeached. great fdr would be impeached. interment of japanese americans, italian americans. german americans. john kennedy would be impeached. we would have a lot of impeachment going on under these bogus rules that the rogue house democrat leadership has put in place.

brian: just add to that when you go back in history and congressman buck did the same thing. have you got to put in perspective. caught up in the trump era. in the big picture 243 years this happened over and over again. i will add one more thing to the fray if you talk about impeachment. if this president is going to be impeached and you think to yourself they are in a rush, nancy pelosi just let down her mask and said oh, we are not in a rush. we have been trying to do this for two and a half years in an interview she did two days ago. really? congratulations. you just lost your own argument. [applause] ainsley: stephen colbert had adam schiff on his show. and adam schiff said i resisted going downtown road toward impeachment. brian: yeah. we believe that. [laughter] steve: that was part of the schiff show last night. [laughter] brad parscale who is the president wants campaign

manager. he had a little chat with reporters yesterday. he said. in fact, talk to the folks down here. right now? brian: later we will tell the cameraman. steve: go ahead. follow me. brad parscale said that impeachment helps the president get reelected. the quote is this little up our base. it lights up people who are supporters of the president. they are frustrated and upset. that motivates voters. where is chris? >> right here. steve: how handy, i'm on the right side. is brad parscale light. does impeachment light you up. are you now energized to vote for donald trump or the democrats. >> i'm absolutely energized to vote for donald trump. not only vote for donald trump but vote to bring republicans back to leadership in the house. this will. [cheers and applause] this will backfire on the dems. steve: where is lisa? is lisa in the house? there is a lisa on the other

side? i'm going to get my steps in. lisa, what do you think? would you stand up for a second? we want to make sure you don't hit that microphone in the head. is he right? do you think that this could actually wind up giving the republicans in the majority in the house? >> absolutely. not only have we spent way too much money, way too much time, it is so boring that nadler is sleeping on the job. [laughter] jackson lee sleeping on the job. so, yes. i believe we have become more united and those that are not paying attention, they are starting to pay attention at how wrong it is. steve: all right. very nicely done. where is alicia, right over here. hello alease, how are you? >> fine. steve: go ahead and stand up. what do you think about the

they are going to vote to pass the articles of impeachment on the full house? >> it's a joke. steve: why? >> because did he nothing wrong. the call was perfect. he did nothing wrong. he was a leader, talking to another leaderboard. the other leader even said he did nothing wrong. steve: did you have a problem with him saying hey, can you look into corruption newt election back in 2016? >> there was corruption. >> yes. >> yes. >> i had no problem with it. there was corruption and he has every right as president of the united states to ask about it. [cheers and applause] [applause] steve: where are you from? >> staten island. steve: she is from staten island, thank you very much for joining us. in the meantime right over there, on the landing, carley shimkus. carley: hi. oh my gosh. it's so good to see everybody. all right. we have big news happening across the pond. british prime minister boris johnson and his conservative party win big in the u.k.

♪ i hit the ground running after you. [cheers and applause] brian: looks like anthem kneeler colin kaepernick will not be returning to the nfl any time soon. [cheers and applause] brian: or dare i say ever according to commissioner roger goodell who addressed the decision not to attend the venue that he picked out for nfl teams. steve: what did we put in the audience' coffee. [laughter] commissioner saying the try-out quote was about creating an opportunity. we created that opportunity.

it was a unique opportunity. a credible opportunity and he, colin kaepernick chose not to take it. i understand that. we have moved on. ainsley: here to react is host of reality check david webb on fox nation and radio talk show host david webb. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] steve: they are excited to be in from the cold. ainsley: they gave him a chance. they gave him another chance and he decided to move the tryout to another location. >> look, colin kaepernick made his own decision. he is not a victim. he walked away with millions. here is some basic in sports. when you lose -- when the leader of the team loses the locker room, which is what he did. no one wants you back. no nfl team wants you back. steve: what do you mean he lost the locker room. >> when the locker room doesn't want to play with you. you go out as a team. when we went out as a team,

no matter the sport we went out to win together. we didn't worry about anything else. we were united. you can't have that kind of leader like the kaepernick in the locker room or on the field. the nfl had their opportunity and roger goodell who has managed it badly seized his moment. when nobody showed an interest in colin kaepernick for the very reason i said the very basic reason, whether they agree or disagree, they didn't want that back that was it the nfl had their moment. goodell could finally say goodbye to colin kaepernick. they need to reset themselves with the base, the fans, the people who love the sport and the advertisers. brian: i think they have come back. football has had a huge year. [applause] brian: kaepernick's argument is you put it on a saturday. nfl teams are not going to send their best scouts on a saturday. you didn't give me much notice. and something with insurance was the issue. does he have a point? >> no. because the fact is the teams have enough personnel that if they are really

interested new they will send a scout out to look at you. just like they send scouts to college games on saturdays, they have the personnel to do it. he is using excuse. insurance is not an issue. if a team wanted colin kaepernick. look. brian: if he had committed to stand during the national anthem, i think he has a job right now. >> actually, i'm not sure if he would, either. the problem is performance is what mearttle on the field. winning one super bowl doesn't make you an nfl legend. playing with a team, working and being a legacy player that's what gets you through teams and leagues. steve: david webb, thank you.

acting u.s. attorney general matt whitaker. >> good morning. steve: matt, were you the president's wing man? [cheers and applause] >> that wasn't my role as attorney general. obviously. i was the one that bridged the gap between jeff sessions and bill barr, shook their hands. one on the way out and one on the way. in that's not the role of the attorney general. i read that op-ed and it struck me as odd somebody that has criticized jeff sessions, myself and bill barr suddenly say how hard it is to criticize attorneys, i guess just republican attorney general. when loretta lynch did her tarmac meeting with the clintons there was no eric holder to be heard from in that situation. ainsley: i'm reluctant to criticize my successors but. and all of them. >> mr. holder has been out there playing in state redistricting fights and trying to change legislatures. brian: he has been effective. >> he has been effective.

is he a highly partisan person who as attorney general was there to protect obama and did all sorts of things to make sure that obama was successful. >> so, matt, there was something about law and order this week that the attorney general could have weighed in on. when you had the horowitz report 434 pages talk about how this investigation was launched. how they changed fisa applications. this was a chance for mr. law and order to come out and say democratic and republican aside i'm outraged about what took place and i have got to restore the good name of the fbi and it happened not during his reign, he was out by then. but during the obama administration. >> right. well, everyone that knows eric holder's story knows he is not mr. law and order and he didn't support law enforcement he almost single-handedly undermined law enforcement. we had the whole ferguson situation that eric holder presided over as attorney general. if you look at how this administration and this president has restored the confidence in law enforcement and the fact that we had their back and

they had our thanks. [cheers and applause] you know, the obama administration and eric holder will specifically did a lot to undo those relationships. i worked every day on that issue. steve: we had josh hawley on yesterday, the senator from the great state of missouri. and we were talking about how he said, you know, you look at the horowitz report and it's fishy. there were fishy things happening all over the fbi and the department of justice. he wondered, you know, would it be possible that the attorney general would know about something like that? you know, an investigation into a campaign? or would low level people at the fbi and the department of justice just do that on their own? >> no. the attorney general, of course, would be briefed on that. steve: that would mean the president would know, wouldn't he? brian: president obama. >> i don't think there was any doubt that president obama knew. i think everyone knew that crossfire hurricane was going on. they knew exactly what it was about. it was about the trump

campaign and. steve: the president of the united states, barack obama knew that the fbi was investigating donald trump who was running for president? >> steve, i don't have direct evidence of that but i can't imagine it wasn't. when there is an investigation of that magnitude, you would make sure that key people, including the attorney general and the president would know that it's going on. now, were they putting their thumb on it, especially the president, i can't imagine that that would be happening, but, at the same time, there is no doubt in my mind highest levels. ainsley: durham will get to the bottom of it? >> i can't do you tis hit on durham by holder as well. saying your reputation on the line. same finger wagging that. they are scared they are going to get to the about the of it. steve: matthew whitaker, ladies and gentlemen.

steve: don, you are a moderate democrat and you believe that right now at this point joe biden probably has the best chance to be the nominee for the democrats come next year. but, at the same time, you have got this thing going on in congress with this impeachment and nancy pelosi, who is, you know, a lot of people in washington say the reason she is doing this is because the base wants the president impeached, so she is going to be able to deliver it. you got a bunch of very vulnerable democrats in districts won two years ago. she is going to make them walk the plank. >> yeah, you know, look. i say this at the risk you have being politically incorrect. i believe that what trump is being accused of is like running a stop sign and you don't put someone to death for running a stop sign. [applause] >> maybe you give them a ticket and give them a summons to show up in court but you don't impeach the president for this kind of nonsense. it makes the democrats look like sore losers. anybody who buys into this especially in these swing districts where trump was successful the last time around or where he was close, i think they are going to be in a lot of

trouble. i think this process is going to hurt the democratic party. brian: if you ever want to make a lot less money go into politics because i think could use somebody like you. don, great, especially with this economy roaring. the usmca about to get passed we are about to go -- our economy is going to go right through the roof. ainsley: brexit overseas and trade deal looming with britain. will thank you so much for joining us. ainsley: thank you, don. brian: kurt the cyberguy is on deck. get. this with this scary new trend he wants to talk about how worried should you be about people hacking into your home cameras and threatening your children? ♪ happy ♪ happiness is the truth ♪ because i'm happy ♪ clap along if you feel is that happiness is [cheers and applause]

very prayerfully and solemnly. [laughter] steve: here's the thing. apparently during a break yesterday, the republicans and democrats agreed, okay. we are going to have this debate until 5:00 last night. and then we are going to have a vote on it. because members of congress all, you know, travel plans today to go back to their home districts. at the last minute, apparently jerry nadler, not in consultation with the minority leader, the ranking member, doug collins, just decided, do you know what? i'm going to pull the plug at like 11:00 last night and going to have that vote as brian said at 10:00. we always during these live shows like to have the people we talk to live on the couch with us. doug collins was going to be here on the couch with us. but, because jerry nadler scheduled a vote, doug collins will be joining us live via satellite, which we never do during the live shows but we will make an exception today. he is going to be with us in about 40 minutes. [cheers and applause] ainsley: so he had -- we had

came from? it came from the whistleblower. >> what we have heard today from my colleagues in a lot of discussion about crimes that they couldn't charge. crimes that they wouldn't put in the articles of impeachment. >> never in history has a president been accused of crimes with the target constantly changing. >> this is outrageous and it needs to come to an end. brian: by the way, they are losing the american public little by little. remember, the president just got 43% of the vote, 44% of the vote when he won. right now 50 percent said the president should not be impeached. according to monmouth poll. the american republic is looking at this and as don peebles told us earlier, you might not like it and not want to vote for him because of his ukrainian phone call. not not the reason to get rid of him. two articles of impeachment don't bring up anything about mueller abuse of power and obstruction of congress. you watch this debate overrule and over again. you realize at the very

lice, you have another point of view that is tripping up this impeachment unlike any other impeachment in our 243 year history. here's jim jordan. >> they are concerned that they can't win next year based on what the president has accomplished in the past three years. i mean, it's an amazing record. in spite of the democrats being completely against the president. in spite the mainstream press being against the president and in spite of a few republicans being against the president, it's amazing what's been accomplished. it's a rigged process because you are nervous about next november. this is why the american people like him so much because is he doing what he said he would do. some of their colleagues have said it straight up, they are all afraid that they can't beat him at the ballot box, so they are going to do this rigged you, rushed and wrong impeachment process. ainsley: they hate him so much. they don't want him to be successful. we have had late night talk show hosts say they hope for a recession. they hopes the economy

failed. brian: bill maher. steve: when you look at where we are today and keep in mind they were going to impeach him on the russia stuff until the mueller report came out. like there wasn't enough there. ainsley: right. steve: essentially the president says he was exonerated. now, nancy pelosi is doing this because that's what her base wants. you know, trump's base may want a vial brant economy. nancy pelosi's base wants the president held accountable for his bad actions, they say. and so they want him impeached. and so that's why they are going to have this vote at 10:00 this morning. it's going to move to the full house. she will be able to go back with her members throughout the year in the run-up to the next election and say look, we did what you wanted. we tried to hold him accountable but he was ultimately acquitted in the senate. in fact, mitch mcconnell says yesterday there is zero percent chance that trump will be removed. he said 1 or 2 democrats may actually vote with the republicans ♪ to impeach the president.

[cheers and applause] ainsley: alan dershowitz a law professor at harvard who is a democrat has said this is the most dangerous ground of impeachment ever offered because it basically says that congress is a superior branch. brian: also shows they might want to go back again and keep impeaching him which is just unthinkable. ainsley: they do that, they do that and it will backfire 1,000%. brian: people. moderates and democrats and independents say i have had it with in this f. they pay the price at the polls they will do it. if you get what your base wants, do you lose independents, do you lose undecideds or moderates? that was something even stephen colbert thought was a possibility. listen to his conversation with adam schiff. >> let's just imagine for a moment that the impeachment vote goes through next week and then it goes to the senate, he is not removed from office. won't be he be sort of super trump after that? >> the reality is he feels

that way already. this has been the only accountability he has faced. as he said, not long ago, under article 2, i can do whatever i want. that was in the same place you were, steven, i resisted going down the road toward impeachment. two things necessary. both involved the president's conduct. this president feels he is above the law. is he unaccountable. there is nothing that can be done and we are showing him that he is dead wrong about that. steve: okay. so that was from the late schiff show last night.

[cheers and applause] brian: a couple of things. yeah, a couple of things

that i think is important. number one is that i was talking to a high ranking trump official. and yesterday and he said we think in the short-term it definitely helps. but i wonder in october-november, if those ads that run for independents and undecideds that say are you going to reelect an impeached president? if that will start swaying the vote against him. that's what he was worrying about. who wants to weigh in on impeachment and what have you seen so far? brian: within a darks stand up, please. where are you from. >> huntington. brian: from huntington, long island? i know that well. this impeachment process, what did you think going in and what do you think now? >> i think it's a big wa waste of time and money. look at the stock market, unemployment, you never hear about that. you never hear the positives. it's always negative. they are just looking for

stuff to nail this trump president. is he fabulous, i think. brian: londa is going to vote for him again, i think.

elected. i don't get it. i get tongue tied trying to rationalize this whole thing the democrats are trying to do. brian: i agree with you. i would say this, there is so much that has to get done and they have got to work together. it feels as though there are no winners. but, thanks so much for coming. >> thank you very much.

frustrations at a boiling point on capitol hill as house democrats postpone their impeachment vote. steve: republican congressman doug collins blasting democrats for the delay set by chairman nadler and he joins us live from our nation's capitol. you are actually supposed to be on the couch with us today. but a funny thing happened between here and the couch. what happened last night? >> i think it's called democrats and television cameras is what happened last night. they got tired. and they said that they -- they said chairman nadler made a calculation get it to another morning and drag this out a little bit further because they have nothing they have on this president. we proved all day yesterday that the facts are just wrong. they are on the wrong side of history. last night to be, i guess, cute by half they said we will put this off to go prayerfully consider what we're going to do at 10:00 a.m. brian, they have not prayerfully considered anything for three years. they wanted to consider something this happened. chairman nadler done nothing but conducting this investigation to this point this year. it's a travesty to the american people and it will

show up next november. ainsley: saying impeach, impeach, impeach. finding reasons to impeach. they finally get to the vote and they don't want to do it. this morning they will do it when all the television cameras are watching when california is awake. what was your reaction? i heard you last night saying this is a kangaroo court. this is ridiculous. how does this change everyone's plans? listen, i'm not saying congress shouldn't work. i'm glad you are all there. i'm sorry it's interrupting your christmas and going home this weekend. but, what were folks saying in the halls of congress? were they saying i was supposed to be at my daughter's birthday tomorrow? they are just doing this for show. they are hijacking your weekend because they just want this to be on television. >> right. for those of you was who want to follow me around, i will show them how we work all the time. i work for my people in the ninth district of georgia. i have no problem being up here. what i do have a problem with there is nothing controversial about this vote. they know how they are going to vote. they have known. this was a stunt by my chairman this is bush league. this is what this was. normally in any environment.

the chairman and ranking member talk about scheduling issue. we can disagree about the color of the sun we talk about scheduling. what i did find out last night some of his observe members didn't know he was going to put it the t. at 10:00 this morning. this shows how scared they're of optics and politics and how they don't have an answer for the american people and make it up as they go. they think if they say it long enough or loud enough people will believe them. brian: one thick that was outrageous. when they said that donald trump is leaving the ukrainians out there without any weapons and you don't being he no what it's like. you served in the military there is a loft republicans there and that's where the rubber hit the road for you guys. because the previous administration didn't give them any weapons. they gave them supplies and they gave it to a third nation. not even directly to ukraine. the president delayed money after two years of giving them money. >> blankets don't stop bullets. yesterday eric swalwell who comes up with amazingly bad ideas. yesterday decided to double down and triple down on this

idea that ukrainians died because the money was being held. under secretary hail destroyed that argument. all the money we are discussing is for future events not the current. they kept perpetrating that law over and over and over again. it's not fair to the american people. no one died because what was happening. that was a proper use of president trump's authority. it was not due even until september 30th. to say that ukrainians died because the money was being held was a lie to the american people. they owe the american people and frankly the ukrainian parents whose kids died used as a prop an apology. steve: doug collins joining us from capitol hill today. thank you very much. we have a busy day. thank you for dropping by fox news. >> thank you. take care, everybody. ainsley: i wonder if they have a vote today.

offered speculation innuendo and sign of desperation, they moved into the record the opinions of 6 newspaper op-eds calling for the president's impeachment, 6 of them, 1,286 daily newspapers an they found the only 6, and who cares op-ed journalists say, journalists for 2 and a half years have gotten everything wrong. they claim collusion conspiracy wrong, they claimed that carter page was a russian spy, wrong, the dossier wasn't used in the fisa application, wrong, and they claim and embraced the dossier as if it were true, we learned this week from the inspector general it wasn't, the fbi in january of 2017, before the president was sworn in

finally finds out who christopher steele's source is and the guy tells the fbi it's all nonsense, you know, it's all made up, so think about this, a nation and the presidency is held hostage because a couple of guys made it up. that is tragic. steve: that is very tragic look where we are now. completely partisan. i want to play a sound bite, here is jerry nadler back in 2018 in february and just notice how he has changed his tune since then. >> the if you're serious about impeaching a president, it cannot and should not be done in a partisan basis, you have to have at least by the end of the process from the republicans. >> a good number of republicans,

if you're serious about moving a president for high crimes and misdemeanors, you shouldn't do it unless a group that voted, yeah, you had to do it because otherwise, you have 20 years, you won the election and you stole it from us, you don't want to divide the country that way. steve: he makes a good point, it has to be bipartisan, if you want to convict the president in the senate you need bipartisan, the super majority, clearly nancy pelosi is just trying to appease her base which wants the president impeached. >> they wanted the president impeached from the first minute he was president, they tried to get him, they tried to get him -- i remember, you know, as a new yorker i was when nadler was a local politician on the west side and donald trump wanted to build the buildings on the west side.

steve: that's where it started. >> the west side was all twisted, slums, it was junkieses, it was devastating, you know, crime riddle, nothing there, trump fought to get that, nadler opposed him tooth and nail, every step of the way, their bitterness dates till then, nadler we wanted to kill trump since the moment trump became public person, this is a manifestation on a national global historic scale, what he said there was exactly right, you cannot have an impeachment where it is strictly a partisan exercise, you know, that is exactly what the founders of the constitution warned against. ainsley: did trump get the buildings? >> trump got the buildings, i moved in, don, jr. live next door, we live there, it's a beautiful neighborhood now, but he had to do it over the objections of a petty politician spiteful and filled with animosity toward trump. steve: patched things up. [laughter] >> yeah, they patched things up,

they should have a duel. >> this is precisely what the framers feared, opposing party controlling the house would seek to remove a president for purely political reasons, look at the first article of impeachment, abuse of power, the wonderfully amorphous term, very similar to what they rejected, they didn't want the impeachment clause to be weponized for politics. brian: not only has it been weponized for politics, they will go right back, if they have any other disagreement with the president's foreign policy or domestic policy they will continue the impeachment train. nothing like we have ever seen before. >> that's what al green said, if we don't do it this time, we will keep doing -- >> whenever the house of representatives is held by opposition party they'll be impeachment whether they stole it or not. brian: unless they know it's going to lose them seats and cost -- >> they don't realize that some day they'll be a democratic

ainsley: is she right or she should move past the bad blood? brian: tammy bruce herself. good morning. [cheers and applause] brian: do you see she has a point? >> i'm getting tired of everything being moving through gender stereotypes, the fact is relationships are relationships and people who are in power are either going to be good at the power or bad at it and women are not angels, right, when we are in power we can exercise wisely or not, in the music industries certainly in the film industry and television industry men have been in power and you have a variety of experiences that men that help you and men that don't, in my experience women have been most helpful but a whole bunch of men have been as well and conversely some have not been, she's young, she's 30 year's old, recognizing that there's power in understanding

business in controlling your own product, that's one of her complaints, her music head locked purchased by someone. this is where women, especially creative women need to be in more control of the nature of the contract they sign and what comes up. brian: female musicians? >> that's it, when you have a history of women being particularly out of power in certain industries it can appear as though it's gender based, the fact of the matter is certain things are changing and it's going to be a shock for many women that other women also can be bad at management and general because i'm an advocate for equality and i recognize that women can be as great as men and as bad as men, it's about taking the individual for who they are and what they are worth as opposed to moving us through gender stereotypes and you'll be less surprised mostly for women be more in control of your lives, understand business, understand the nature of the commitments you're making and work to have more power yourself

in whatever your industry is. >> speaking of business, forbes magazine put the 100 most powerful women in the world, ivanka trump, i think 42, number one angela merkel. has been praised for standing up to donald trump. >> yes, forbes even in their listing, they said it's not really about how much money you have or even really how much power in a certain sense, it's what you do with the power they said and so not surprisingly it's angela merkel, a woman named kristin lagard and nancy pelosi is number 3. all 3 of those women, europe is sliding into a recession, germany is moving into a recession, crime is up double digits since the debacle of the massive million people immigration in 2015 and yet because they're liberal or move through the liberal world they are considered the top 3.

ainsley: nancy pelosi. >> i want women who were recognized for actually doing god things. ainsley: was melania on the list? >> melania was not on the list at all. they couldn't ignore ivanka. brian: family leave. >> family leave, equal pay. i mean, the support of her father's agenda, improved the quality of women and family lives throughout this country. so it's good that she is on it but really -- this is why the media is not trusted. we see that, they are speaking to themselves, it's an agenda even in a list like that. brian: so leadership and by accepting all of the syrians into germany, she got it that was one of the most destructive things that happened. >> and the germans -- brian: no one knew who they were. >> that's correct, that's why crime has gone up. the germans recognize this, the nature -- it's a country that is now just kind of limping along, when we are going to recognize women in leadership, let it be women who have been genuinely

demand. >> what we heard today from my colleagues is a lot of discussion about crimes that they couldn't charge, crimes that they wouldn't put in the articles of impeachment. >> never in history has a president been accused of crimes with the target constantly changing. steve: you know the republicans are in a pickle because the democrats run the house and established ground rules and the deck is stacked against republicans. >> yeah, it's going to be voted out of the committee and go to full house next week, they'll likely plan a vote for wednesday, it'll get delayed into thursday, two days of debates an arguments and that pushes a potential vote for saturday december 21st. i expect that all to happen and if you watch mitch mcconnell with sean last night, this thing could be disposed off in the senate within a week. brian: the president wants a

trial. i heard rush limbaugh yesterday. >> i heard the same report, i don't know if there's a melding of the minds on that, i know initially drag it out. >> i don't want to drag it out. >> we will have this thing done by the time you start your new show, bill, which would be two weeks, mcconnell suggested one week, lindsey graham said on the program one week as well, i think there's a larger point to be made in all of this. my feeling about impeachment, it is on the same level of declaration of war if you remember of congress, it is that serious and i remember 1998 so well, they are not paying attention to this. you guys talk about ratings of hearings, yeah they have been significant. i was checking the numbers from last thursday or friday during the hearing, we had 2.2 million
