district voted for president trump in 2016. he had a five-point margin. he is now planning to switch parties as a sign of this democratic process may be falling apart. rachel: he has been showing signs of being unhappy with the impeachment process for a while. i'm surprised he decided to switch parties. i wanted to say, this is a man who understands what his job is as a member of congress who represents a district. he says my job isn't to like or dislike trump. my job is to exact as much goodwill and help for my district. ed: he has been outspoken about that. rachel: that is somebody who understands the job after congressman. pete: want a symbol how bad, how rigged this impeachment has been, democratic party lost a member of a caucus. i don't want a d next to my name. i want an r next to my name because of how unfair and dishonest this process has been. president trump tweeted overnight. thank you for your honesty, jeff. all the democrats know you're

right. unlike you they don't have the guts to say so. listen to turn to your staff and your constituents and democrat party, saying i'm done. i will be a republican, is a huge move and a huge risk for someone to do. if you're at the democrat side looking at this process, not only not gaining votes but we're losing members? that is a bad sign. ed: will democrats learn from it. maybe we should momoderate it? , no. they're lashing out. rachel: imagine what it will be like walking into the democratic chamber. governor of new jersey said he chose his political career over our constitution. this party switch is cynical and desperate. i'm confident a democrat that shares the values of our democratic party will hold this seat. i'm not so sure that is a good prediction.

ed: the governor and other democrats did a private poll, if he voted no on article of impeachment, he would not invite a democratic primary challenge, he would lose big time. they're saving he is saving his political hide, not reacting in principle. pete: look at statement from democrat governor of new jersey, cynical and desperate? people look at impeachment saying this is cynical and desperate. before the ukraine call half the caucus was committed to the impeachment. they're using the call as rationale, height of inthat system. ed: kevin mccarthy was on jot justice last night. democrats helped make nancy pelosi speaker and they may have buyer's remorse. >> he is welcome to join just as others have before when the party has left them. anyone who believes in freedom,

anyone who believes in the constitution, anyone who believes this new socialist democrat party has left them i want to tell jeff van drew he is welcome in the republican party. not just by me, by our conference. we would support him. we would welcome him to join. pete: remember when justin amash left the republican party. he didn't become a democrat. i am not defending him. he said i'm a democrat. water is warm for the republican party when you look at president trump delivered upon. if conservative democrat feels comfortable being a republican -- find me a republican feels comfortable being a democrat in light of that party. ed: democrat voted against initial inquiry, is colin peterson of minnesota. doesn't sound like he will vote for the articles of impeachment. rachel: no it doesn't. here is clip of him what he actually thinks about this process. >> the biggest problem i have with this is that you had people that have decided they're going to impeach him.

now they spent a year trying to figure out how they can make a case for it. that's backwards. you know. i just, don't agree with this. we don't have any first-hand information about what happened on that phone call. it is all secondhand information. the president has not committed a crime. ed: is that devin nunez or colin peterson? pete: quick reminder he is a democrat. he has been there for 20 years in western minnesota. he is an institution. he is tough to beat. a hugely pro-trump district. it is part of the reason why the trump team minnesota is on the table in ways national folks haven't believed. he has a tough challenger, michelle fishback who was on this program as member of the conservative squad. they're trying to create the alternative tiff to the so-called "squad." pete: very rural district in western minnesota. scales entire piece of the state. and, but listen, looking at tea leaves.

realizing this is a bad idea. ed: the question whether peterson, van drew, a one off or two off if you will or are there more democrats turn against impeachment, vote against the two articles. corey lewandoski a big trump supporter says more are coming. >> the democrats will lose between two and five members to vote against the impeachment proceedings. members in districts that donald trump won. there are 31 democrats sitting in the districts that donald trump won in 2016, that democrats won in 2018. so some of those members are going to vote pens the impeachment. which means this would not be a bypartisan effort. donald trump will not be convicted. there was no crime. he is going to win in larger margin of electoral college than 2016 america will continue to go forward with the largest economy in. pete: small correction, cory.

there were 31. now there are 30. democrats want ad wave of some republicans who are worried so bad it is impeachment. instead the wave is going in the other direction. you know see that. as we see resistance from the left which has not stopped since the day president trump got elected, we had a different picture yesterday. the outcome was not what our army folks wanted. army played navy. when the president of the united states, the commander-in-chief, the ovation was as strong as you can get. there he was walking out on the field for the coins to. rachel: i don't watch other networks besides fox news. ed: i believe that. rachel: when he went to the nationals game they made a big deal on all the other networks kind of reception he got. there were boos. i wonder if they play this clip with this kind of -- ed: tend to doubt it.

this is the third year in a row that the president has gone and he tweeted about how he will welcome navy because they got the commander-in-chief trophy coming after the big win. mark esper, the defense secretary talked to our own joey jones about protecting our servicemembers, what it all means. watch. >> are we doing enough to make people feel like we're securing this for our heroes? >> we're looking at this right now. we can always strife to do better. at the same time. these are communities. we have to balance out all the interests. we should, can do better. we're looking at that i work closely with the service secretaries, the service chiefs to get that right. ed: more of joey jones interview with defense secretary mark es per. he will be here 7:30 a.m. eastern time. you won't want to miss that. pete: there were chants of usa. chants of trump. chants of commander-in-chief. even chants of four more years. you wonder whether the military supports this president?

look at that game young people and their families decided to put their lives on hold to serve their country, get a top education, go put on the uniform. they love this guy. rachel: rather get booed in d.c. and loved outside like this. pete: i think he has formula down. rachel: we'll turn to headlines a set back in the murder probe of a 14-year-old boy being questioned by police has been released. he was not charged. he is now believed to be the person who stabbed tessa majors. she was attacked walking through a park. a 13-year-old boy is still in custody after police say he admitted to being involved, claimed his two friends and attacked and killed her. divers are combing a nearby pond hoping to find more evidence. extreme weather a pair of tornadoes tear through parts of florida. ef-1 twister ripping through coastal communities between jacksonville and orlando.

barbs to the private sector back in the day. bernie sanders who poses a threat to both of them mostly unchallenged. democratic candidates think attacking sanders is not quote, a smart strategy. here to react former social justice director for the 2016 bernie sanders campaign, tesla figueroa. >> good morning. ed: what is the strategy? are they tiptoeing around the idea they don't want to offend sanders supporters in case he dropping out and wind supporters over? >> number one, sanders will not drop out, for sure we know like 2016. to me not smart but scary. certainly scary business. if they have an issue going after bernie sanders that tells me how will they go after president trump. his supporters are just as loyal as bernie sanders supporters, it also shows they have a problem attacking his 30 year consistent record.

whether people like bernie sanders or not he has been extremely consistent that should be a problem with warren, buttigieg or anyone else becomes the nominee, they will have challenge going against trump. ed: trump supporters believe if social i is on the ballot they believe they will win that in the general election. do you think bernie sanders is better for the democratic party because he would take the fight directly to the president unlike say a buttigieg? >> even though i worked for senator sanders i lien moderate. and most of america does, i can't say ben bernanke is best person to go against president trump or not. if democrats don't have courage to go after bernie sanders how can they possibly go after president trump. trump would like to go after socialist bernie sanders it. >> works in his favor. at the same time it says a lot about the strength of bernie sanders campaign of the his supporters are loyal for him. they will not switch to go to another candidate that something democrats have to look at, how

they can get not just the nomination but with a win. ed: break that down. democratic primary for president held, "qunnipiac poll" found, 29% for joe biden nationally. sanders 17%. buttigieg 9%. those who chose sanders, their second choices are warren, 31%, biden 11%, buttigieg 4%. we've known this all along, sanders and warren are coastest perhaps in terms of actual policy like "medicare for all." so i fest my question would be, does warren need, since, the second choice of sanders voters is her basically, does she need to go more directly after sanders supporters to try to get this nomination? >> yeah. i don't think that will do her any justice because again those supporters kind of overray. if they don't support warren they support bernie, vice versa. you see what warren and bernie did last time, go after

joe biden. couple debates back both piled on joe biden. later on when senator warren took the lead, they focused on her. you will probably see more attacks on joe biden to break down his campaign. obviously his campaign has not went down according to the polls. polls don't know what they're talking about clearly since 2016. if we go with the polls i think they would do better trying to defeat joe biden but joe biden will have to step up to go after bernie sanders as well. he has to show he has the guts to do it. ed: to your point, president trump has not believed the polls since 2015, 2016. why he might be president. thank you for coming in. >> thank you. ed: joel osteen, kanye west, may take the special sunday service out on the road. jonathan morris was at one of the services with kanye. we'll ask him what he thinks about the two joining forces. that is next. >> the opportunity to show companionship in the christian

they're not joining just because it is tradition. they want reasons for believing. i think it's a very positive sign. rachel: but i also think they're not being told by their parents or by culture about the benefits of religion. we see that young people who have weekly, go to weekly services have a prayer life, end up being more mentally well-adjusted adults. there are a lot of mental benefits, psychological benefits to spirituality. how much is parenting? maybe they weren't introduced to it. therefore they're saying -- >> rachel you would know. you have a -- rachel: nine. >> that is obviously -- rachel: 10 next week. >> which would be amazing. obviously young people are not moved that you have to go to church because you have to argument by their parents. i see what it is done in your

socialism. that may be popular in university campuses or one or two big cities, but out in middle england it was not popular, they said what will happen to my taxes? who will pay for all these crazy ideas? i think the parallel is absolutely the same. you can get a left-wing democrat candidate who may be very popular in los angeles but go to the fly-over states, people will feel the same way. so there is a big potential take-out here for the democrats in their selection process. pete: nigel you see this like brexit was in 16 to president trump's election. is this harbinger of things to come? >> i think, there are two factors here. the first, corbyn went way to the left and people feared, what would happen to their income, what would happen to taxes all of those things. but the other thing of course, are unique situation is that 3 1/2 years ago we voted to leave the european union yet, parliament has defied the will

and community care. joining us now is pro-life advocate, founder, president of live action, leila rose. welcome. >> good morning, rachel. rachel: good morning. tell us, what is the message they're trying to, what is the point of these candles? why are they trying to do this? >> this proabortion group in texas, sells or gives abortions to low income women, somehow abortion will be empowering, positive, we know abortion, no matter how you spin it is a violent act that destroys, dismembers, kills, innocent vulnerable preborn child. women are not served by this. to call it magical, to put positive marketing terms on it, just a blatant attempt to try to hide the greatest human rights abuse that our country is facing behind positive-sounding words. rachel: regardless how you feel about the issue one side or the other, this message candle seems

repellant. why do they think this is the kind of thing that would actually work? >> people realize, according to polling, most people are uncomfortable with abortion in this country. they want laws ban it at least in the first trimester or second or third trimester. they want significant restrictions on abortion. that is the vast majority of people both democrats and republicans. so the abortion advocacy movement in our country is very nervous about this. they don't like the fact that abortion is losing popularity, losing favor. rachel: right. >> they resort to these outlandish tactics. magical abortion candles. campaign to shout your abortion. this was something that was pop aized a year or two ago. lighting up empire state building pink in new york when they celebrated abortion through all nine months practically, which is infanticide. when you see this extremism coming from abortion advocates, because they realize they're losing. so they're doing anything possible in order to normalize

abortion. >> i was going to say that you're on the ground. you see it. you're fighting this battle on the pro-life side. you're saying these tactics are a sign the other side, the pro-abortion side, is losing? >> absolutely. there especially losing among young people. look, live action organization that i lead, we represent over four million people online, most of them young people, millenials, gen-z, we see people changing their mind on abortion every day. when you find out the scientific facts when life begins it is very clear, technology has revealed that life in the womb. when you realize the beautiful development of human life in the womb, you understand what an abortion actually does, whether first, second or third trimester, people are horrified and they think it should be banned. they think women deserve better, girls deserve better, we need to do better for our children. rachel: great message. we reached out to texas equal access fund. we did not hear back. thank you, leila, merry christmas to you. thanks for bringing this

[laughter] why? rachel: listen -- pete: you've got a deep soul,. ed: ed you always want me to go more modern. pete: all the people watching right now are in bed, and they're going to stay in bed. rachel: you're so wrong, you're

so wrong. ed: thank you. rachel: this is the fox all-american christmas, and that's a christmas song. ed: thank you, rachel. pete: i didn't say it was wrong. ed: now the anticipation is building for the next hour. because pete's favorite -- pete: i didn't actually send in a christmas -- [laughter] ed: so it will be a producer pick. pete: maybe i'll send mine in, and it'll be the 9:00 hour. ed: no, the deadline's passed. [laughter] in the meantime, the president wants to get a lot done by temperature end of the year. house -- by the end of the year. house democrats want to focus on impeachment, but if you look at what's happened in the last week, a whole lot has actually gotten done in washington against all odds. pete: right. while washington's crowing about impeachment and how thoughtful and prayerful and difficult this whole thing is, take a look at the accomplishments. if you blinked, you missed it because it happened so fast.

the government shutdown was averted, they passed an ndaa, a spending bill that includes -- also a spending bill that includes money for the border wall. you've got the space force, which is actually going to happen, pay increase for the troops. you've got the anti-semitism executive order. oh, that trade deal with china which is now going to happen. oh, the usmca as well, and the justices, this is a huge one. senate confirmed the 50th federal appeals court judge. that's a year's worth of work that happened in a week, and most people aren't covering it. rachel: they're not, but the democrats are actually criticizing it. they never did anything on china in all the years, they were sort of the party that was talking about these unfair trade deals. never did anything. donald trump gets the first part of this deal done, and they're criticizing the deal. weird. pete: yeah. remember that china pivot that obama did as they were building artificial islands and asserting their influence? now we say we're going to reorder or that whole

relationship, and china is finally taking notice. we didn't even mention nato which is now spending $500 billion more on their own collective defense -- ed: because of the president. rachel: and doing all of this while under attack, while being undermined by the democrats. here's a morning tweet from president trump saying he feels a little bit like brett kavanaugh. he says after watching the disgraceful of way that a wonderful man was treated by the democrats and now seeing firsthand how these radical left, do-nothing dems are treating the impeachment hopes, i understand why so many dems are voting republicans. referencing, of course, representative van drew who's now -- ed: hooking like he's going to switch parties. pete: yeah, there's a democrat in a pro-trump district who said enough of this impeachment nonsense, i'm just going to become a republican and join the president in addition to a congressman in minnesota who has now announced he's going to vote against impeachment.

hook at democrats fleeing their own party, and you might have a hint. rachel: and the republicans on this -- ed: as house democrats move forward later this week and actually approve one or two of the articles of impeachment through the full house, they should have the votes to do that if they want, there will be a trial in the senate. we hear the president is saying, look, if you want a long trial, great. we'll call in hunter biden, joe biden, the whistleblower, adam schiff, a whole bunch of witnesses. and a key player, of course, will be the senate judiciary chair republican lindsey graham who says this whole thing is a crock. watch. >> what you're doing in the house is bad for the presidency. you're impeaching the president of the united states in a matter of weeks, not months. you had a two-year investigation, that wasn't enough. i think this whole thing is a crock. you're shutting the president out. the process in the house, any partisan group could do this in the future. you're weapon nicing impeachment, and i want to end

it. i don't want to legitimize it. i hate what they're doing. pete: the other thing that happened right in the middle of this week is horowitz going before the senate detailing how the fbi in 17 different ways were slanted against the president. he couldn't admit bias because he's the inspector general -- ed: that was lindsey graham's committee. pete: exactly. everyone looking at it said of course the system was rigged to spy on the trump campaign, and we're going to learn even more when durham comes out with his report later on this year. it got almost completely overshadowed. it's amazing to see how the tide has under the. rachel: when does durham's report come out? ed: well, he may have sort of a rolling situation where it's not specific report. i've talked to people in the government who basically say that durham may just start with indictments that roll out over the next few weeks and months into 2020. the justice department expects that he would be finished largely with his work by, say, the spring because you don't

want it to happen too close to the election, those kinds of indictments. but there are a lot of people inside the fbi, inside the justice department who are involved in that surveillance who are concerned about what durham -- pete: oh, you wouldn't want to mess with an election, and you might want to notify a campaigning if you're spying on them? rachel: so here's jill biden who says that trump's call with ukraine proves that he's actually afraid. take a look. >> when joe and i decided to run for president, when we made that decision, you know, we knew it was going to be tough. our family knew it was going to be tough. but we could never have imagined that it would turn into that donald trump would be asking a foreign government to get involved in our elections. and i think, you know, donald trump has shown us who he is, and this has been a real distraction. i think it just proves that he's afraid to run against my husband, joe biden. >> when hunter's name was first

mentioned, how to you deal with the fact that it seems so unrelenting? >> well, you know, i know my son. i know my son's character. hunter did nothing wrong, and that's the bottom line. pete: where's the follow-up? ed: he did nothing wrong, we don't really know what he did. how did he make the money? getting over $80,000 a month from burr -- burisma without any energy background? how did that happen? rachel: it's really perplexing. i mean, nobody would put that kind of trust and money into somebody like him. pete: and the president says, where's hunter? where is hunter? what explaining can he do for this particular situation? if he had anything useful to say, you know with his father running for president he would run to a camera to do -- he did one interview which was considered a disaster, so he hasn't been in the public view ever since. you can't just say i know my son, he did nothing wrong and that's the bottom line? rachel: they absolutely never

anticipated that this would come up. ed: yeah, no doubt about it. we mentioned a moment ago all of the things the president got done just in the last week alone? well, his counselor, kellyanne conway, says it's not the president being afraid of joe biden, it's actually the democratic field being afraid the president is going to beat any one of them. >> if i were a 2020 democrat running for president, i'd be hopping mad. nobody pays attention to them because if they thought any of them could really beat the president, they would put all their energy, issues and manpower behind that person. because the modern democratic party is so hell bent on getting the president rather than getting you a job or military funding, this is one of the most successful weeks of the trump presidency. usmca, china, the third consecutive military pay raise, investment in our military, over $700 billion, they have more resources, more respect, ndaa, paid family leave, and it's only friday. who knows what he'll do

tomorrow. ed: you've got to give the president some credit, but is it also because democrats are trying to make up for the fact that impeachment is blowing up in their face? nancy pelosi, within an hour of saying they were moving forward with the impeachment, held another press conference. she wants to tell her base we're trying to impeach him, we're moving forward but then realized, wait a second, we've got to give something to the voters. pete: is it really about trying to save their hide at the last minute, but then they have to bring it to voters who have to decide whether or not it really was their idea to begin with. if there's border wall funding money in there, space force money in there, if the trade deal changed -- none of those are things that democrats have done. yet they're going to try to take credit for it? rachel: it's a change of strategy because the original strategy was do nothing trump wants. here they are having to change. will it make it the media into other networks that are

reporting the news, and will they only see impeachment? that's the question. pat: thankfully, we have a big network here that more people watch than any of those little guys. ed: the trump administration reported to bring thousands of american troops home. ing the president intends to pull 4,000 troops out of afghanistan. the move, which could be announced as soon as next week, would still leave more than 8,000 troops in the country. u.s. recently restarted peace talks with the taliban in afghanistan. take a look at this surveillance footage. police say it shows the vandal behind a hate crime at a california sin -- synagogue. he's accused of ransacking the site, damaging several jewish artifacts. authorities say though nothing was stolen. 16 people now confirmed dead from a volcanic eruption on a new zealand island. after a victim dies in the hospital. latest death announced during an unsuccessful search for the last two missing victims. police say it's possible the bodies washed out to sea.

recovery efforts have been slowed by toxic air and near-zero visibility in the ash-filled waters with looming threats of a second eruption from that volcano. and those are your headlines. all right. media outlets hype the steele dossier which sparked the russia probe. >> well, trump has shown us who he is, and this has been a real distraction. i think it just proves that he's afraid to run against my husband, joe biden. pete: now that it's been debunked, how can no one is apologizing? former dea official coming up on that next. ed: and a baltimore ravens player paying a big price for chugging a beer after breaking up a pass.

director, you must have been on to something. what will their defense be at this moment? >> well, you're starting to see a little bit of that. the first is silence, the second is denial. the third defense is to say, hey, we were just going off the best informing we had, and our very sophisticated readership at the new yorker wanted to hear about this. i mean, look, it was a lie, that's the bottom line. russian collusion was a lie. we know that now with absolute certainty from the i.g. report, it was built on a lie and it subjected this country to two years of division. and people at the networks that aren't this one deserve special wrath, deserve special attention. they need to be held accountable. pete: kris eking chan, you still -- christian, you still hear democrats saying, no, this is not about partisanship, this is about patriotism. jake comey use -- james comey used the same defense, i'm just a mega-patriot. >> well, it shows you how divided as a nation we are. we not only have disagreements

on policy, we see the world differently. and people like jane mayer, they just don't see the world the way people watching this program do. after two years of lies about russian collusion -- pete: not to get into the politics of it too much, but it's been pointed out over half the democratic caucus was for impeachment even before the ukraine nonsense. so they were all for impeachment on something we now know to be demonstrably false. yet they move forward anyway. >> pete, they were for impeachment before or the president even took office. i mean, that's how crazy they are. pete: that's true. j. christian adams, you are not crazy, and we appreciate you being on the program. all right, one dem is considering switching parties. is this proof the left's rushed push is starting to crack? we'll ask congressman lee zeldin, that's coming up next. and ron gronkowski first and

whenever adam schiff tells them a story, it's a story. they're relying on presumptions, lies, hearsay, they're trying to connect dots not actually connected while someone like jeff van drew is looking at 100% of the facts. he wants to see the entire story. so the issue is not only are these people going to be upset with him for wanting to switch parties, they're not even going to be honest about it because they totally bought into the schiff narrative as if he ever tells the truth.

mourn the victims, those killed, of course, those wounded as well. but as you said, people all around the world are watching this game, army, navy, marines, air force, you name it are possibly watching this game, and it's just a fantastic example of the rivalry between these two good schools. you know, in a few short months the seniors from each school will be out there on the front lines, defending our freedom in iraq and afghanistan or korea, you name it. they'll be out this. >> i went to marine corp. from the chattanooga depot, so the tragedy that happened there a few years ago. and people don't understand exactly what happens on bases, are we doing enough to secure these bases? should we do more to allow personally-owned weapons and licenses where people live on base? are we doing enough to make people feel like we're securing these bases for our heroes? >> we're looking at that right now. we can always strive to do better. but at the same time, these are communities, we've got to balance out all those interests.

but, yeah, we should and do better, and we're looking at that right now, and i work closely with the service secretaries and chiefs to get that right. >> absolutely. and when it comes to supporting our men and women in uniform, you know, the ndaa just passed, there's a 3% pay raise, i'm sure many people are happy about that. there's also funding for the u.s. space force. how important was it to get that bipartisan bill passed through congress? >> well, first of all, you made a good point, it's a bipartisan bill. it shows the support of congress for our fighting soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. and you're right, 3% pay increase. but the space force is phenomenal. it's going to make a big change in our ability to fight and win in space, which is where i think the first fight of the next war will be in space or cyberspace, and we need to be ready for that. >> you know, this game is morale. it is absolutely enjoying and celebrating the men and women that serve on the battlefield of the green behind us and also abroad. what is the morale in the armed forces now? are our men and women happy, and

do they feel supported by the country and their commander in chief and all involved? >> i think so. we got good support, bipartisan support from congress. our commander in chief loves them, so everybody's enthused about what we're going. we have putting a brand new generation of cutting edge weapons, so it's an exciting time to be in the mill care. i encourage all -- military. i encourage all young people out there to consider serving in one of our armed services. rachel: hey, joey, really quickly, when the president went to nats game during the world series, media made a lot of hay about the mixed outfrom the reaction. you were there yet, what was the reaction from people in the stands when our president showed up? >> you know, the crowd was probably evenly split, but they were all big fans of fox news and president trump. i couldn't go 5 feet without getting stopped.

much prayer, i find that a little hard to believe and quite a stretch but if it's true, then i'm glad their prayer life is finally getting back into sync. maybe they can pray for the country, pray that it does better. rachel: governor, it is pretty ironic, they're the ones earlier took the oath to god out of the witness oath. all the people they were swearing in during this impeachment, never said god, thanks to them. >> yeah. as i say, i just think it's less than sincere for them to be talking about how this much they have been praying about this. i'm not even sure why they included that language in their discussion because, one of them sitting there watching golf. i think he is praying his favorite golfer wins the golf match. ed: it is sunday. you will pray to gender neutral spirits in church. as "saturday night live" said, have a wonderful sunday. rachel: we'll turn now to some of your headlines.

here to explain. >> hey, rachel. this is common sense decision. what the judge said is, wisconsin you have to take registered voters off the list because you have gotten official records from the u.s. postal service saying they have moved out-of-state, or, wisconsin has gotten information from other states saying oh, this former wisconsin resident is now registered in our state. so basically they're taking people who are not eligible to vote anymore off the voter rolls. rachel: is 30 days enough? should you grant more time to them? >> well look, every single one of these voters has gotten a written notice from the state telling them, look, we're taking you of the rolls because we have got information, records showing you're no longer living in the state. they have got time from now

through the election, to tell the state, this is a mistake. i can show you i still live in wisconsin. no one will lose their right to vote who is actually eligible in wisconsin. rachel: this is interesting time period, especially in light of the last election, trump won the state of wisconsin. >> right. well, yeah, this is really important because, look, there are plenty of cases out there, we've got some in our database at the heritage foundation where i work, of people who are illegally registered in more than one state and illegally voted in more than one state. rachel: right. >> we want to make sure that does not happen in the next election. rachel: thank you so much for giving us more information on this. pushing back on what you think is actually a common sense legislation. so thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. rachel: merry christmas. right now pete is hitting the streets, seeing what americans know about a important day in our nation's history. pete, are you putting them to the test? pete: rachel, bill of rights

pete: hashtag, foxallamerican christmas and if you have a picture of us in the background it's extra bonus points. it's like a proof of life to show it wasn't taken a week or two weeks ago. ed: we need to see the receipts and guess what there is receipts coming out in the form of a new fox poll breaking this, and president trump is pretty happy with, because this shows that his job approval is going up, amid the impeachment push, and look at this. approved now at 45%, disapproved 53%. why is that? up three points from october when impeachment was really just starting to rage, he was at 42%, now up to 45%, and guess what? the actual impeachment push looks completely stalled. should the president, we asked in the poll, be impeached and removed from office right now 50 % say yes and in late october, 49% said yes, early october, 51% said yes, so essentially it's within the margin of error. it hasn't moved at all is the point, impeached but not removed

is now at 4% so basically, the house can impeach him this week, with their vote, and it's going to go to a senate trial that everyone kind of gets the idea that he's not going to be removed from office, but the key is that it is unmoved in terms of the public wanting him removed from office, but his approval rating his job approval is going up as nancy pelosi turns the heat on him. rachel: of course this has been an incredible week it's ironic. he's impeached in this week at the same time win after win after win and even though right after the vote to move the impeachment forward by nancy pelosi, she tried to take credit for the usmca, now you have chuck schumer, you know, kind of monday night quarterbacking the china deal, and trying to act like oh, we could do it better but they never did it and i think the american people get that democrats are working on impeachment, while donald trump and the republicans in congress were working on things that actually matter in their lives. pete: if you'd shown numbers

like that to democrats three months ago i wonder if they are now reconsidering their decision listen he looks like what he is which is teflon don based on every arrow, every round they have in their magazine at him, this is after an entire investigation where they spent millions of dollars in that agents all over whether he had connections to russia and found nothing. there's polls that show even higher approval rating in the 50 s and lower disapproval rating than this poll and all the swing state polls that we've seen. ed: right. pete: amongst independent voters where this really matters in the states that we hailed from not here in manhattan they show that it's wildly in popular. ed: the question is impeachment backfiring, bad news for nancy pelosi, speaker pelosi, and democrats in that new fox poll, and more bad news in what's breaking today, which is that jeff bandrew, a democrat against the impeachment inquiry from the beginning of it, along with collin peterson of minnesota, now going a step further and

switching parties, planning to become a republican, and the president is pretty happy about it. rachel: he's tweeting about it saying thank you for all your honesty, and all of the democrat s know you are right but unlike you, they don't have the guts to do it. pete: you know there's thinking about it. there's putting a president trump: about it. there's floating the idea. there's saying being prayer full about it and maybe i'll vote for the inquiry but not the impeachment but then i'm switch ing parts. i'm done. i'm out. and i'm going over to the republican party where the water is warm, the presidents delivered for my district so there are no longer 31 trump districts we've heard now there are 30 because one of them has become a republican, as you said , ed, another democrat whose declared their vote against impeachment. this is now bipartisan against impeaching the president and again if nancy pelosi is being looking at this all you have to do is look at the evidence. ed: and guess what, are democrat s going to learn a lesson and say maybe we've gone too far or beat up on jeff?

new jersey governor democrat phil murphy immediately on the attack, and this party switch is cynical and desperate and i'm confident that a democrat who shares the values and priorities of our democratic party will hold this seat, in fact the democratic message today, is that jeff van drew had polling done recently that showed being in favor of the president and being against impeachment was going to bring him a big primary challenge he would likely lose from the left and so they say the democratic line is that he's saving his political hide, not trying to do the right thing. rachel: that's the cynical way of looking at this. maybe he's just doing this because he's actually representing his district and his district is very happy with the results. pete: wait so they are doing the group think impeachment yet we're supposed to listen to them and believe they are being prayer full, and patriotic? ed: after they poll tested quid pro quo or bribery would be better. pete: they are prayer full and patriotic and now accusing him of being the cynical political

one. rachel: that's correct. pete: oh, man. ed: we had representative lee z eldman on earlier and he said van drew is actually an indication of what's happening across the country. >> you have 31 house democrats who are in districts won by donald trump in 2016. those trump voters in those districts when they were sending these house democrats to washington when they were voting for them in 2018 they were voting for these house democrats to go to washington and work with the president, not to go to washington and to impeach the president. so jeff van drew is someone who wants to be working with his republican colleagues across the aisle. now i think that this is up to where a lot of voters are across this entire country saying hey this isn't what we want. we want you to be focusing on substantive wins working with each other to move our country forward. ed: you see republicans are pretty excited about this. there may be a rose garden ceremony the next couple days where jeff van drew will seal it pete: you talked to a

presidential historian too who pointed out this is not something that happens often. rachel: no. ed: especially this is not the message nancy pelosi wanted that somebody is running away from the party. pete: yeah. ed: that's why the president jumped on that with a tweet last night and in the meantime another part of this exclusive fox poll breaking this very hour that the president is going to be watching closely. it says among democratic primary voters, who do democrats think can best beat the president 77% say joe biden. 60% bernie sanders, 59% elizabeth warren, bloomberg 55, pete buttigieg 48, and back in october it was biden at 68%, sanders 54, warren 57, you get the idea i think the point is that joe biden despite all the stumbles, the struggles, the hunter biden story has actually moved up among democratic primary voters as the more likely person to beat the president. my point is that may not be true that's just the sentiment among democrats. the president might like that because they are saying look joe biden is pretty wounded.

if the democrats think that's their best shot, their best hope , the president maybe just fine with that. rachel: and it may actually solidify his support because i think the information that we're getting from these polls, how impeachment is being received by the country, the wins that the president is having policy wise, i mean, i don't know. maybe they just say do you know what? biden is our best choice even though he's the weakest candidate. pete: the only takeaway is that 77 number for joe biden and you alluded to it is how weak the rest of the field is. this guy can't string a sentence together. he doesn't know what state he's in or whether he supports obama or whether he will endorse him or not where is hunter biden no one knows he won't answer those questions. he is a wounded frontrunner at best. ed: right. pete: low energy, weak they've taken him off the trail, he can't get crowds like the president is even close. ed: look at pete buttigieg now at 48%. rachel: yeah. ed: he's leading in iowa and one poll has him leading in new hampshire even though biden is

leading nationally. rachel: if you're hillary you see an opening perhaps if you're hillary. pete: oh, boy are you going to throw that balloon into the show right now. rachel: [laughter] pete: well the problem doesn't it become logistical though? you've got to be able to file in early states and delegates so there is a time constraint but bloomberg wouldn't be getting in either if he didn't think his billions could buy him an opportunity. i think, let me say this, we're headed for a brokered convention just a guess, one man's proking nasty indication but if you're splitting it up in an early state and there's a lot of energy but biden is the one that can go with trump i don't know where they land. e-mail us friends@foxnews.com. what does the poll say to you, what do you make of the state of the democrat presidential primary. all right we've got a few more headlines for you this morning, a fox news alert, dozens of navy pilots pleading with lawmakers and top military brass to allow them to carry firearms on bases. the pilots calling it

usmca, the trump adminitration got a phase i of the china trade deal, and there was so much good news coming from the trump adminitration that actually will effect americans back home unlike this impeachment saga. rachel: does it even matter what the media says because in the end people are out christmas shopping and feeling the results , right of the trump economy of the gop policies that have made this the strongest economy in our lifetime at least >> absolutely and i think that this is part of the reason why you're seeing so much success from conservative news organizations like the daily signal where i work, and i think that it's, the fractured state of the media gets a lot of criticism these days but when the mainstream media refuses to actually report on the good news coming from the trump adminitration, the policies that are effecting americans back home, that really shows the need for these smaller news organizations to come forward and of course fox news is cover ing most other major news networks, if you flip the channel around you're only hear

share the story with our audience if you would. >> that's the unfortunate part about this is it has nothing to do with the wait and that was part of my frustration with the response from starbucks although they've been very apologetic and wanting to apologize to the deputies and the response they gave to the public made it out like it was just a way that the deputies were frustrated with the wait that they had to, you know, before they ordered or got their coffee and it had nothing to do with that. there should not have been a wait. there was no one in line. they stood there for quite some time. they repeatedly asked if anyone was going to help them. one of the baristas kind of chuckled and said "maybe." the rest of the employees laughed and giggled. it was uncomfortable for the deputies. it was uncomfortable for the other patrons in the store at the time. they all realized what was happening, and so eventually, i mean, one of our officers, one of our deputies said that okay i see what's going on here and

then she grabbed her partner and they left. pete: sheriff good on you for sticking up for your guys and you and your tweet describe it as an anti-police culture repeatedly displayed by starbucks and you talked about the other stories and there have been others. what is it that starbucks is getting so wrong in their culture here? >> i really don't know. it's something that has to be addressed and there is a little bit of it that is, you know, in our culture, that it's turning anti-police and whether it's media and whether it's things like this that get broadcast across the country, and social media, i really don't know what the answer is, but there certainly is something that is causing this. and i mean, i don't want to pick on starbucks. this is not sheriff bianco or riverside county sheriff's department against starbucks but something is happening with starbucks. it's not other outlets that are repeatedly in the news like this so i don't know if it's a younger culture. i don't know what it is.

pete: it's a great point there's plenty of places you can get coffee in america it just happens to be one of them continues to have this problem. now here is what starbucks said in a statement to abc. they said there is simply no excuse for how the two deputies were ignored, we're deeply sorry for that and you'll remember there was a perceived racial incident at starbucks a number of months ago and they did an entire day of retraining of all of their employees. don't you think we're at a point where maybe they need to do more than just a quick apology to a local affiliate? >> i do believe there should be something more and that has to come within starbucks and the oops seem to be, they are very good at apologizing. i really do believe that corporate starbucks is very sorry that this happened. of course they are sorry, you know, they are in the news about it again, but i don't know what it is internally that they're doing to try and prevent this. it certainly isn't happening with anyone else. it's not like there's a racial, you know, two hispanics or two blacks were not refused service

and it wasn't any other, it was two uniformed deputies. pete: it was the blue. >> that just could not get coffee. pete: it was the color of the blue. you're right if you've got a culture problem you know it, i know it, leadership on the top has to take it back. starbucks it's about time they do something about it sheriff thank you for your service and for all your law enforcement officers and what you do we appreciate it. >> thank you very much i appreciate it. pete: well a quarterback, he had a great night last night captured lsu's first heisman trophy since 1959 wasn't even close. our next guest won the heisman and plays for six nfl times, ty detmer talks about this year 's record breaking vote. >> ♪ ♪ i wish i had gone into aspen dental much sooner. when you're not able to smile, you become closed off. having to live with bad teeth for so long was extremely depressing. now, i know how happy i am.

pretty cool. ed: he made the big entrance after meeting with both teams in their locker rooms i saw the army locker room had trump 45 setup. pete: did they really? well he's been good luck to them ed: until this year. no doubt about it but comes another big announcement last night. a record breaking landslide, not an election the heisman trophy, the quarterback earning 90% of the first place votes to capture lsu's first heisman since 1959. pete: it's an experience we know nothing about but our next guest knows all about it former nfl quarterback ty detmer joins us thanks for being here. >> good morning. pete: so that moment what's going through his head when he hears his name called? >> well it's kind of one of those great surprises that's still out there. you never know until your name is actually read. you might have an idea, but at that time, it's kind of surreal, so a little bit of an outer body experience. pete: i bet. but he kind of knew, 90% first place votes the most votes

anyone has ever gotten, everyone kind of knew, what was special about him? >> you know, i think growing up in a football family his dads coached for a long time, brother s, older brothers that played and when you grow up around football, my dad was a high school football coach for over 50 years so you understand the importance and the significance of that award. rachel: and you're doing that now in gilbert, arizona, you imagine being on that high school football team and you're helping out. [laughter] yeah, i've coached high school, college, you know, high school level is a lot of fun because the kids are multiple still a little bit. ed: the journey, he had transferred from ohio state, you were not there when you got the award because you were playing a game far far from new york where they gave out the award. talk about that. >> i was. we had to play hawaii that night so the announcement came about 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon and then we had to go play a game unfortunately. didn't go so well, but it was really special because i was

able to have my teammates around and coaches and not many guys have that opportunity, and as a quarterback, they are as big a part of it as anybody because they are the guys that make you look good so it was special to have them around, but you know, at that time, it's emotional. i didn't have my parents there to give a hug and all of those things, but i got a chance to do that later the next weekend when we came to new york. ed: you mentioned the importance of a quarterback. there's a quarterback named tom brady pretty special in the nfl, there's a lot of chatter he put his mansion in massachusetts up for sale some may think this is his last season but i also feel like when he's counted out is when he often comes back and gets them in the super bowl. what's your thought about all of this? >> i think it'll depend on what they put around him in the off season a little bit too. i'm sure, you know, as an older player, it gets to be a grind having to groom the young guys every year, and it'll depend on his relationship with the teammates around him and how he feels like next year will go as

far as the guys. pete: that might have been part of a reason why they took a risk on antonio brown bringing the talent around this guy. >> he's got edelman, but that's the piece he's always had so i know, you know as a quarterback you like to have some experience around you, and so as these young guys progress, you know, throughout the end of the season here, maybe that'll change his mind a little bit, but you know, i think he's still got time and he doesn't really have any limits as far as physical limits that are preventing him. ed: any big predictions on where we might be headed? lamar jackson is giving new england a run for their money. >> lamar is making it tough on defense so they've got a great shot running the football late in the season when the weather gets bad you got to be able to do that so they are as hot as anybody right now. pete: your nfc pick who is it? >> i like new orleans, drew brees and shawn peyton doing

great things. ed: 49ers might have something to say about that. how special to have you today, thank you. rachel: merry christmas. >> same to you. rachel: we'll turn to your headlines, and a fox news alert. a new arrest in connection to the deadly jersey city shooting, police say they found a handwritten note in the pocket of one of the shooters, with a phone number and the address of a pawn shop. the pawn shop owner now in custody on weapons charges. but what is related to the shooter is unclear. four people including a police detective were killed in the shooting and officials labeled it domestic terrorism, motivated by hate. a man claims he might be this missing boy who vanished 25 years ago. michigan police say he gave his dna to see if he is duwan sims reported missing by his mother way back in 1994 and sims mother says she's spoken to the man but doubts he's her son as he couldn't answer key questions like when was his
