[laughter] what is a wine cave? pete: you have been to a wine cave, steve. steve: know haven't. pete: it's a cave in your house with lots of wine in

it. that's what i'm told. katie: i was hoping it was an actual cave. pete: i have been to an actual cave that sold wine in a small town though. katie: were you with millionaired and billionaires? pete: i was with hundre hundredaires. katie: i haven't been to a wine cave. it sounds kind of fun. pete: we watched the debate portions of it so you didn't have to. >> nice best and most moments that. >> smallest, only seven candidates. as you heard in that montage, the first question obviously about impeachment but there was substance because the candidates started to attack each other. pete buttigieg surging in iowa where they will go next.

certainly had the biggest target on his back and of course familiar issues we have seen medicare for all. taxes front and center. it was the wine cave. access to big donors that was the biggest fight between warren and pete buttigieg. >> fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900 a bottle wine. billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. >> i am literally the only person on this stage who is not a millionaire or billionaire. this is the problem with issuing purity tests you you can yourself not pass. >> now senator amy klobuchar had a good night, very strong moments, defining herself as a moderate. she had no time for wine caves, watch. >> did i not come here to listen to this argument.

i came here to make a case for progress. and i have never even been to a wine cave. i have been to the wind cave in south dakota, which i suggest you go to. >> now, national frontrunner joe biden had a good night by all of his measures. he did what he needed to do. not too big but of course not the gaffes we are accustomed to. he took a very tough question when the issue came to the climate and he was asked if he was okay with cutting potentially hundreds of thousands of blue collar traditional oil and gas jobs. here is what he says. >> the answer is yes. the answer is yes. because of the opportunity. [applause] >> the opportunity for those jo, is real. >> and just to break it down, biden actually was only the fifth most time speaking. take a look here. you see four other candidates, sanders, cloib, buttigieg and warren speaking over 19 minutes and

yang coming n the least just over 10 minutes. he had some of the more memorable lines certainly last night. guys, next debate january 14th in des moines and we'll be there. steve: we will indeed. griff, thank you very much. after pete buttigieg pointed out the fact that he was not as rich as elizabeth warren, who i think has at least 10 times more money than he does, buttigieg also pointed out that elizabeth warren in her presidential campaign coffers transferred a bunch of her money from her senate run and she raised them using exactly the same ways pete raised money using techniques pioneered from barack obama. pete: in wine caves. steve: in wine caves. so there. hello. or wind cave. katie: elizabeth warren tried to go after pete buttigieg for whining around in wine caves. she is much wealthier than

pete buttigieg. and we saw, of course, a number of corporations who actually did allegedly a lot of harm to people whether it was medical implants or that kind of thing and so now that she is on the stage, she seems to be a little bit hypocritical about some of those issues. pete: is it wine caves with crystals. or wine caves with crystal e champagne. steve: she was in a wine cave with a schwarzenegger steve: judi wood roof introduced during the show. andrew yang cut to the chase. look, everybody here is missing the point and donald trump gets it. watch. >> if you turn on cable

network news today you would think he is our president because of some combination of russia, racism, facebook, hillary clinton and emails all mixed together. but americans around the country know different. we blasted away 4 million manufacturing jobs that were primarily based in ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, missouri. what we have to do is we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment and start actually digging in and solving the problems that got donald trump elected in the first place. pete: truth be spoken from andrew yang. do you know who didn't get that memo? joe biden. when asked if you would sacrifice blue collar jobs for the fantasy of a green economy yes, i will do it. continuation of the very sentiment that led to donald trump. and joe biden who famously started his presidential campaign from hiding from the media and voters fifth most minutes spoken last night. his strategy was to be quiet. katie: for joe biden going after the same blue collar

workers that donald trump is supposedly because selectable to get those voters back in places like pennsylvania and minnesota and michigan, the jobs come back in terms of manufacturing, coal and gas, are average between 2% and 3%. so, they have not only paid attention to those jobs going away but brought them back and someone like joe biden saying yes i will get rid of them is certainly not going to pin the voters he needs to voters in swing states. steve: topic was about the impeachment of the president of the united states. the breaking news story on the cover of the "new york post." nancy pelosi has not yet sent over the articles of impeachment. pete: nope. steve: it's stall tale. pete: hasn't gotten around to it. steve: she says until the senate democrats agree with mitch mcconnell on the terms she is not going to do that because she wants the senate thing to be fair. in a delicious. katie: i saw chuck schumer last night in penn station. he is not talking to

mcconnell face to face anyway. they are talking on the phone. steve: interesting. remember when the democrats called out the three legal scholars on constitution to bolster their case, and then the republicans called the democrat jonathan turley. one of the democrat's witnesses was noah feldman a law scholar. as it turns out he says that the president of the united states right now has not been impeached. he writes in bloomberg: if the house does not communicate its impeachment to the senate; in other words, if nancy pelosi doesn't send it over to mitch, it actually hasn't impeached the president. if the articles are not transmitted, trump could legitimately say that he was not truly impeached at all. so there you've got the word from a constitutional scholar who appeared on behalf of the democrats and he said you know, if the democrats did what they did, but until they hit send he is not impeached.

pete: that's true, until you send your term paper in, you haven't sent it in to the professor. the banner should read trump actually not impeached. katie: actually not. everyone saying an asterisk next to his presidency celebrating his impeachment including his -- democrat, expert, calling for impeachment years before the ukraine call and here we are now with him saying democrats have skipped town. they went home yesterday. steny hoyer said we are not going to have any more votes until january 7th. senate trial was supposed to start january 6th. that's been pushed back. and here we are with -- pete: you and noah have blown my mind. i thought it was over. steve: they took a vote the other night but until she sends it to the senate. he writes and it's great. it's on bloomberg.com. he writes that the constitution is vega vague about impeachment. it says essentially the house goes ahead and they can have this vote. but then they have to

transmit it to the senate and then they have a trial. until those two things have happened, the president has not been impeached. pete: interesting. maybe nancy has some buyer's remorse. katie: or maybe they don't know what they are doing. steve: he called in the formerly democrat jeff van drew of the great state of new jersey to sit right next to him and van drew, the democrat, said i'm 100 percent behind this guy. pete: not only did they not get a single republican vote they gained a republican. katie: bipartisan. all right. over to jillian for your headlines. jillian: good morning. let me get you caught up on this story we have been following out of texas. we begin with a fox news alert now. a dead body and a baby found alive in a search connected to missing texas mother. investigators making the gruesome discovery at a home in houston. about three hours away from austin. that's where heidi broussard and her newborn daughter margo disappeared last week. the baby is believed to be unharmed. the body though has not been identified.

jobs -- yeah, 20%. the one in michigan 20% recently and 30% independents. he transcends party lines because he talks about jobs and wage growth and all the things that matter to the american people. steve: all right. so we just mentioned that you raised something like $20 million in november. did i see in the paper this morning that you raised $5 million just on impeachment day alone? >> yes. 5 million on impeachment at a alone. and in 48 hours we raised 10 million between the trump campaign and the rnc. so, the voters, they can't go vote right now but they can contributed. we have added 600,000 small online voters since this impeachment began. so it shows that people are really angry. they are passionate. they don't want to see democrats take away their vote and they are doing what they can, which is give to this president. katie: ronna, what are people telling you when they donate to the rnc? do they tell you they are doing it for a specific reason? they're frustrated with democrats or doing it on behalf of a certain issue? >> they want to see the president reelected.

and it's so emotional for people. they say, you know, my job is better. i have more money in my pocket to spend on my family and christmas. i want to make sure this president gets reelected because he is fighting for me. and he has changed washington. and so they are giving him small dollars to make sure that can happen so the rnc can go out and trump campaign can go out and build the best re-election campaign to turn out the vote. steve: the thing that is working the best for you right now is the economy. it's on fire. yesterday another record close. >> yeah. it's unbelievable. people's lives are better. and you contrast that with democrats, who have done obstruct and resist and now impeachment that nancy is now sitting on. not even sending that to the senate. when is he not impeached. shameful. they look at the president. usmca is going to be passed because he said we can do better trade deals and deregulate and cut taxes and the economy is booming as a result. katie: ronna mcdaniel, thank you for your time this morning. >> thanks for having me. steve: thank you.

night either. katie: all right. thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: another cold day here in new york city. we have dispatched janice dean on this friday before christmas with all those people on fox square. janice: i know. they brought their signs. we have happiest 50th anniversary. your 18th birthday. what's your name. >> my name is kyle live. >> where are you from? >> waco, texas. janice: happy 50th to who. >> our neighbors. >> 45 anniversary. >> bob and donna coons of tampa, florida. janice: thank you. it doesn't feel like florida here. all have a hug and make it better. real quick, show you where the temperatures are very cold across the country. we do have a warm-up on the way. in terms of moisture across the south, watching a developing area of low pressure. and the northwest that's going to cause some travel delays as well. elsewhere across the country, looks pretty darn good. say hi to katie and pete and steve, everybody.

>> for most of us. >> the middle class is getting killed, the middle class is getting crushed. >> fact is the g.d.p. have very little relationship with people's lived experience. >> we need an economy that works for working families not just the 1%. steve: despite what those democrats who want to be president said last night, the u.s. economy keeps surging, these are just the hard numbers. and stocks reached record highs again yesterday. including the dow, marking its 10,000th point gain since donald trump was elected. here with reaction is fox news contributor and fox nation host lawrence jones. lawrence, good morning to you. >> good morning, dude. >> listen, they said the economy is not working for most of us, the economy never works for everybody but isn't the idea to get it going for as many people as possible? >> well, yeah.

but, you know, you got to think about the situation that they are in. if they were to concede on the economy like most liberal economists. last week you saw everyone saying we may not like the president but the economy is great. basically concede on the next election. and so, you know, they really have no argument on the economy so they have to focus on other issues or straight up deny that it's working for a lot of people. now you see democrats -- if you pick up the "new york times" there is an article today out talking about if you should raise taxes, right? that is the new argument. if the economy is so good right now, let's go ahead and stimulate it a little bit more by raising taxes. politico is saying that democrats actually should re-take the economy and -- what we know is if you look up even liberal publications, they know that the democrats don't have a message when it comes to this great economy. i look at soundbite montage. mayor pete says the economy is not working for most of

us. i don't agree with that i certainly don't agree with bernie sanders who says we need an economy that works for working families not just the 1%. i think the economy is working for more than the 1% it's working for a lot of us. i complain about the high taxes in new york. great to be back where you don't pay that much in taxes. it's not just me, steve, a lot of people in the country are spending more, they are reinvesting in businesses. so, what you have now is democrats shifting a narrative saying let's just raise taxes. even some suggestion we need a new tax, a billionaire tax, a wealthy tax. steve: on that 1%. all right. lawrence, thank you very much. is he down in dallas. you can catch up with him on fox nation. he has a couple shows "keeping up with jones" on man on the street on fox nation. which is celebrating one year in business if you use the promo code celebrate,

you get 35% off lawrence, thank you very much. and merry christmas to you and your family down in texas and there he would have said thank you, steve. meanwhile, democrats holding their debate in los angeles last night but they barely mentioned the city's massive homeless crisis that we have been talking about. hud secretary dr. ben carson is here to react on homelessness coming up in the next hour. and, do you know what? it's national ugly christmas sweater day. pete, jillian, and janice already had theirs on. you will see which one i'm wearing coming up next ♪ ♪ santa, he can hurry ♪ he can take the freeway down ♪ and rudolph ♪ taking a shortcut. woooo! taking a breather. rewarded!

but then it was the second part when the candidates really started to attack each other that things got interesting. mayor pete had the biggest target on his back, warren was clearly ready to oblige that attack. it wasn't about healthcare, the climate or jobs. it was about a wine cave. >> so, the mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900 a bottle wine billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. >> i am the literally the only person on this stage who is not a millionaire or a billionaire. >> this is the problem with issue, purity tests you cannot yourself pass. griff: on that smallest stage, only seven candidates the smallest one we have seen here. senator amy klobuchar really stood out, had another strong night. and she defined that moderate lane and she had absolutely zero time for wine caves.

[laughter] pete: game is done. confirmed. they all talked about it but the only one talking any common sense about it, of course, is andrew yang. stepping back and saying whoa, everybody. you talk about it, but, do beam really resonate with it. and have we connected with the reality of why trump supporters support him and is this really useful to us? katie: that's exactly the point. andrew yang recognizes when you attack the president with all these racist arguments or accusations of russia meddling, you are actuallinsulting the millions of people who voted for him and their vote and decision to

do so. this is about real substance, manufacturing jobs completely bleeding away in the midwest. places like wisconsin, minnesota even. pennsylvania. and not only has president trump brought those jobs back and stopped the bleeding. they have a long road to go if they are going to actually go and get those voters back. steve: do you know what we have seen in the last week regarding the impeachment inquiry -- sorry. katie: this is coffee, thank goodness. steve: the thing about that i word is the fact that the president's poll numbers have gone up and the number of people in the country who think that the i word is on the right track has gone down. so that's why the story and i'm sure pete piatt can we even use the i word right now, steve? katie: that's a good question, pete. that's a very good question. steve: the reason pete brings that up because remember when they called in all the scholars on the first day. katie: the professors. steve: exactly. to talk about what is

impeachment and -- darn. pete: i will do it for you, steve. steve: what is it and how does it work? noah feldman, the harvard law scholar, who appeared on behalf of the democrats, that man right there, he is throwing cold water on nancy pelosi and her plan. right now she is not sending the articles of impeachment to the senate because she feels it's not going to be fair. so noah feldman writes today in an op-ed in bloomberg. pete: democratic witness. steve: right. eight eight harvard professor. steve: this is great news for the president. he says house does not communicate its impeachment to the senate, which means if nancy pelosi doesn't send them to mitch, it hasn't actually impeached the president. if the articles are not transmitted, trump could legitimately say he wasn't truly impeached at all. so, the constitution makes it very clear, you've got to

do this. first the house has got the pass the articles and then they have to trans mitt them to the senate which then has a trial. if you don't do both, you don't have impeachment. [laughter] katie: nancy pelosi wednesday night after the vote happened, right? she is asked as she is walking out of the capital, are you going to transmit the articles to the senate she says i'm not sure what we are going to do. we want to make sure of the process is fair. mitch mcconnell says i'm in charge of senate you are not. i'm not sure why you are telling me what to do. all that matters is he is impeached at this moment. according to harvard law professor who democrats thought was an expert to bring in to testify in front of the house judiciary committee on behalf of impeachment, he is actually -- pete: buyer's regret. ball is going in the court of republicans in the senate. the ultimate irony the arrogance of nancy pelosi to say we demand a fair process in the senate as if anything

that has been done to this president for three years let alone the process in the house was fair after the all. steve: so according to the law professor from harvard, the president has not yet been. katie: impeachment. [laughter] steve: trying not to do it. katie: we will be wired. way too much caffeine going on on this couch today. steve: if you were watching martha mccallum last night. she had an interview with the attorney general of the united states bill barr. he revealed, he was talking about how john durham is looking at not only the origins of the fisa application to spy on the trump campaign. but he told martha that it's not just looking durham, that man right there, center square, not just looking at the fbi, he is looking at other agencies as well. pete: he has a broader purview. difference between the ig and durham. steve: here he is. watch this. >> he is not just looking at the fbi. is he looking at other agencies and also private and departments. and also private actors.

and so it's a much broader investigation. and also, he is not just looking at the feeds aspect of it. he is looking at all the conducts both before and after the election. >> martha: so would that include the cia? nsa? >> it would include agencies that could have been involved in this. steve: now we know the answer. the "new york times" has got an article that says that regarding the cia, the former director of the cia, john brennan under barack obama, the guy you see on t. have a lot talking badly being critical, let me put it that way, of donald trump apparently mr. durham has requested of mr. brennan his email, call logs and other documents because they want to learn what brennan told other officials, including james comey about his and the cia's views of the dossier. they are also examining

whether brennan privately contradicted his public comments including 2017 testimony in front of congress about the dossier. looks like they are trying to figure out whether or not he has been telling the truth. katie: media leaks as well. john brennan said a lot in the media about what was going on. a lot of it was not true. pete: see if they all get turned over. like 30,000 end up missing. katie: bleach bit. hillary clinton. hey, jillian. jillian: story we have been following out of texas. we begin with this fox news alert. a dead body and a baby found alive in a search connected to a missing texas mother. investigators making the gruesome discovery at a home in houston. it's about three hours away from austin where hide dr. broussard and her newborn daughter margo disappeared last week. the baby is believed to be unharmed. the body has not been identified. a car near the home is reportedly registered to someone who knows hidy. we will have a live report from houston in just a few minutes with these new developments overnight. and now to this: an

steve: there have you got senator bernie sanders making one of the few mentions of the homeless crisis in america during the debate last night in l.a. as that city's escalating crisis has become a public health emergency as you can see screen right. homhomelessness in california increased by 20% in california. here to discuss the secretary of housing and urban development dr. ben carson. dr. carson, good morning to you. >> thank you. gld to be with you. steve: it's good to have you as well. we see those images, what's going on in california is terrible. you don't think they are going about fixing it the right way. >> well, you know, interestingly enough, you know, the point in time cop demonstrates that in the vast majority of states, homelessness is going down. but in california, it's gone up by 16.4%. which drives the whole number up by about 2.7% for

the entire nation. so the data that was reported by the a.p. in that respect is certified. but we're going to require, you know deep analysis. we are going to have to really use our brains to fix this and not just emotion there are a number of different reasons people are homeless. there are reasons people are homeless in unsheltered way. when there are policies that say to people can you sleep here on the street. you can sleep on this bridge. you can sleep in a public place, first of all it's not really being compassionate to do that. there is a misguided concept of what compassion really is compassion is getting that person into a situation where they can become self-sufficient and provide the kinds of wrap around services that are necessary. also, when you allow them to just sleep there and create a health hazard, they are much less likely to go to

the places that are actually designed to help them get out of that situation. steve: one of the problems is, you know, i know california has been throwing money at it. but they are not addressing the root causes which you touched on a moment ago. >> right. and you have to recognize that. so people are there because they have drug problems. some people are there because they have mental illness problems. some people have just fallen down on their luck each of these cases mechanism to ascend out of dependency and despair. we can do. this it's done in other places in the world. you look at a city like tokyo which has more people than new york city. they have virtually no homelessness. if they can do it, we can do it, too. steve: exactly. it's a crisis in california and elsewhere it is a big problem. so we are glad you are looking into it. the secretary of the department of housing and

urban development dr. ben carson. sir, thank you very much and merry christmas. >> always a pleasure. you too. steve: fox news alert. police swarming a home overnight in the search for that missing mother and her infant daughter. a live report coming up next. ...and about 15 minutes for us to do this. blends right into the italian architecture! ♪ no no no no no! ♪

not. but they were talking about the top tier candidates. have you got joe biden who is a catholic, only second catholic ever to be elected. jfk being the first. two women. there has never been a female president. you have a gay guy, mayor pete has never been a gay president. you have bernie sanders who is a jew. you have tom steyer whose father was a nonpracticing jew. his mom was episcopalian. he was raised as episcopalian. age differences. no diversity of thought or opinion. no diversity about hostility about donald trump. other than that it seems to me there is diversity. pete: also, larry, not just minority candidates dropped out plenty of white candidates tried their hands at being president and not there as well. >> about a dozen white guys have dropped out nobody gave a rip. by the way talking about democrat voters here. democrat voters are essentially being accused of being sexist and racist because of the departure of kamala harris. that's insulting too. pete: where does it end?

this is a country that also a gone through a lot when it comes to slavery and racism and racial divide we want to get to a place candidates talking about those things yet we can't seem to get past the idea that if you don't check certain boxes then you are not diversity enough? >> that's because it's the narrative of the democrats and of the media that racism remains a major problem in america when, in fact, it doesn't. i'm not saying it's gone. pick up a wand and over america and wake up the hearts of america. you still have the fundamental problems going on in the black community. high rate of illegitimacy, crime. 50% dropout rate in some cities because of underperforming government schools. those are the real problems facing the black community not institutional racism or systemic racism or what beto o'rourke called enduring or endemic racism, whatever that is. pete: it never ends. you will never have a better title than the sage. >> pete, it was all about the wine cave. i'm not sure whether it's

you the mainstream media? >> come on. [laughter] seriously? no, of course it doesn't surprise me in the least. i guess what surprises me is that as a profession journalists are not more concerned about appearing to be political activists and political operatives. bias. we take refuge in standards of journalism to protect us from that you don't see a whole lot of that these days. i know there are a lot of journalists out there that feel. this i know because many of them talk to me former colleagues of mine. and i have to believe that it's not going to stay this way, right? it just can't stay this way because everywhere i go in this country people of all stripes, whether they are democrat or republican tell me all the time that they have to go to multiple news sites just to get the facts and that's not the world of journalism that i grew up in. it's not the world testimony that journalists grew up in. and so what i'm concerned

about is the legacy that we lee behind young kids coming out of journalism school what have they been taught? steve: when can you ever trust what you hear or you read? >> well, do you? i mean, i don't. steve: no, you have to keep looking. katie: one of the candidates was skeptical last night of this obsession with impeachment. let's listen and get your reaction. >> if you turn on cable network news today you would think he is our president because of some combination of russia, racism, facebook, hillary clinton and emails all mixed together. but americans around the country know different. we blasted away 4 million manufacturing jobs that were primarily based in ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, missouri. what we have to do is we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment and start actually digging in and solving the problems that got donald trump elected in the first place. pete: is he speaking for a lot of americans there. >> that's very interesting

to me to hear andrew yang say that it's the second time he has been up on that stage and said something really interesting. last time he talked about china and, you know, people aren't really looking at china very much. but the chinese are making leaps and bounds in terms of cloning and in terms of artificial intelligence. and i have spoken to a number of people involved in this field and what they say to me is we have no idea how fast the chinese are going to move once they have cloned human beings with brains that can really compute at speeds of computers and not at human speeds. and so andrew yang is paying attention to a lot of things that are not just sort of the typical fodder that you hear from candidates. that always catches my attention. i live in flyover country, right? i make no apologies for that and when you talk to people, you know, in a lot of different places in the u.s., they are concerned with other issues. it's not just impeachment and it's not the same when you live in new york, l.a.,

east coast-west coast bubble, right? there is a whole country out there. in fact, a spectacular country. pete: one of those issues people are talking about is immigration. we are excited to have you on the fox team here. you have a great show called lara logan has no agenda on fox nation. you have a big special coming up on the border. talk to us about it. >> yep. well, i mean, it's 90 minutes the first episode on the border. and i mean, we are very proud of it. i have been a journalist for more than 30 years and i have interviewed all kinds of people, right? from presidents to rock stars. and this one is -- it's actually quite surprising what we were able to achieve. i think people will be fascinated. katie: you report from the mexico side as well in addition to the u.s. side. steve: you congratulated from "60 minutes" to a 90 minute show and here is a snippet. >> we see this but we don't ever see where they go. >> we don't know what they have been through just to get here. you can see it on their faces. the faces say it a thousand

times. >> i know. >> what's one of the things people believe about what's going on down here that's just not true? >> they portray us as villains. that's not the case. we all have families. >> we are here to protect our borders. protect our country. >> they don't see what reality is. >> these guys are runners. they are not going to give themselves up. >> it's all happening pretty fast. i guess it's what you are used to. >> lara? >> so watch this show. get fox nation because of this show. i'm not good at promotion. it's not my thing. steve: have people watch. pete: promotion with the code celebrate between now and christmas you get 35% off. talk about, you know, sit down with the family and watch this special. look how beautifully it was shot. >> those guys are the best. katie: thank you so much for your work. steve: merry christmas. >> thank you. katie: jillian? jillian: let's begin with this boeing star liner rocket taking off on first

on the stage last night, odds are, the democratic nominee will be one of those people unless hillary gets in at the last minute. which of those seven people would be best suited to stand opposite on the stage against donald trump? because he has a whole different skillset of debating. >> geraldo: that's absolutely right, donald trump is like god still la on the stage and he will torch any one of those candidates it seems to me, steve the one thing about it, i thought that pete buttigieg, under attack, kind of willed, it seemed that his 5:00 shadow got darker and darker and i thought he would have a beard by the end of the debate and he seemed rattled by the attacks, he was not apparently prepared for them , but he is the front runner in iowa so you know you get what you pay for in a sense, but looking at the field, surveying the field i love what andrew yan g said about ignoring impeachment for a while and getting on with proposals for

the american future. i thought that was very important. i can't see anyone there besides joe biden who would have a realistic chance against trump who as i said is all consuming figure. >> katie: geraldo you mentioned impeachment and we have sound from democrats last night. let's take a listen. >> the house of representatives voted to impeach him. >> president trump thinks that he should not be impeached. >> impeachment. >> why do you think more people are not in support of impeachment? >> impeachment. >> we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment. steve: so the democrats were obsessed with impeachment. the mainstream media has been obsessed with impeachment, but now put on your lawyer hat for a moment and remember when the democrats called in the three legal scholars on their behalf and jonathan turley, the democrat appeared on behalf of the republicans. noah feldman, from the harvard

law school, appeared before the house on december 4. remember him? well he has written, geraldo, in bloomberg today, that because nancy pelosi has not passed the articles of impeachment to the senate, the president has not been impeached. he writes, mr. feldman, if the house does not communicate it's impeachment to the senate, it hasn't actually impeached the president. if the articles are not transmit ted, trump could legitimately say that he wasn't truly impeached at all. so, until nancy pelosi hits " send" he's not impeached according to noah. >> geraldo: well professor fel dman's article, it's in the new york times as well and being widely circulated and it really does appear reading article one and two in conjunction, you know the provisions having to do with impeachment, that impeachment is not yet right. it's not impeachment unless and until the house of

representatives after the vote who we have had after the vote by a majority passes the articles on to the senate, carr ied by the managers of the proposed perspective trial in the senate. in other words here you have impeachment which is like an indictment but an indictment never delivered to the suspect, or to the tribunal, that is going to litigate it, so it is, i believe, that professor feld man is right and it's not impeachment yet. nancy pelosi, who has been ruthless and brilliant in her ruthlessness in managing this impeachment with no republican votes whatsoever, she resisted it because she knew how tough it would be, finally she yielded to the most radical elements in her caucus, she had the votes, she kept her caucus more or less together, and that i was very, i was admiring of that. she's the real tough lady and highly skilled as a politician,

but now the process has trapped her. she was trying to negotiate a full blown trial with witnesses. she wanted to do her best to undo the apparent inevitibility of an acquittal by the republican majority in the senate because they are the jurors so nancy pelosi trying her best to gum it up and make it more difficult for the president, who now appears to have an easy path to acquittal in a republican-dominated senate so she's tried to withhold, she's trying to negotiate the terms, have witnesses, call the president, this or that, but the process as professor feldman has now laid out has betrayed her. do not impeach the president unless and until by the senate by the manager. steve: the president has not yet been impeached. pete: according to a democrat witness written in bloomberg which is also run by a guy running for president as a democrat through christmas and new years it is impeachment

perking a tori. >> geraldo: bloomberg is the only democrat with a realistic chance. i think biden will wilt. pete: you heard him talk, right? >> geraldo: the noise will drag him down and bloomberg is the only one who will spend hundreds of millions of dollars if necessary. pete: billions. >> geraldo: he will ultimately lose to the president but he would put up a fight of the billionaires. steve: ladies and gentlemen, geraldo rivera joining us from cleveland. have a great christmas. >> geraldo: thank you. pete: there was geraldo rivera and here is gillian. reporter: good morning, so we continue to get in new details of the story, of a fox news alert. a dead body and a baby found alive in a search connected to a missing texas mother and investigators made the gruesome discovery at a home in houston about three hours away from heidi broussard and her daughter disappeared last week. abc news is reporting that is her body and one person has been

the reported question is what do the voters think? here is the partner and president and author of the great book, persuasion, lee carter thanks for being here this morning. >> thanks for having me. pete: absolutely so they started out the debate with impeachment as if we haven't heard enough about that for the last couple of weeks but andrew yang took a different view than everyone else. we'll see what the voters thought. the media networks didn't do us any favors by missing why donald trump became our president in the first place. the more we act like donald trump as a cause of our problems the more americans lose trust that we can actually see what's going on in our communities, and solve those problems. what we have to do is we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment. pete: that's a very different message we heard from everyone else. >> it sure is and it resonated democrats gave it a b, and the republicans now just giving it a c, it's phenomenal, this whole impeachment thing, 75% of people

say they trust government less so he's right. pete: democrats give it a b. that's striking because if everyone is saying they needs to be impeached he's a criminal, he says wait, step back and he gets a b, maybe that's an admission of how they feel. very interesting. well elizabeth warren also had a lot of time talking last night, and there were critics of her tax plan and here is how she answered that. >> how do you answer top economists who say taxes of this magnitude would stifle growth and investment? >> oh, they're just wrong. >> [applause] pete: that's one way to answer. >> it resonated with democrats and they give it an a, and i think last night was a really important night because the moderates, the press had a really hard night and i really focus on those independence because that's whose going to carry whoever wins for the white house. it's not just the partisans. pete: and she's refused to admit you'd have to raise taxes on the

middle class to pay for the multi-trillion dollar schemes so at some point they're wrong and i'm right. so there was also an exchange last night we've talked about it quite a bit this morning about this thing called wine caves that a lot of us don't know a whole lot about but it was between elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg. listen. >> billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. >> mr. mayor, your response? >> you know, according to forbes magazine i'm literally the only person on this stage whose not a millionaire or a billionaire. >> [applause] >> so this is important. this is the problem with issuing tests you can not yourself pass. pete: so warren took the shot, pete buttigieg answered and this is how voters graded him. >> there's no question you can see that mayor pete won that exchange democrats, and he wasn't scripted on that. he didn't feel like it, it was a good response. a lot of people are saying

listen if you're calling us out you better pass a test yourself, agreed with him. pete: that was his, now warren also graded on that exchange. she's the one that said you shouldn't be in those wine caves >> we've got to pay attention to this because the democrats really are anti-wealthy. they really are that and that resonates with them, so you can see the democrats did like that message. it was not resonating. pete: we are looking at the independent line from last night which candidate did the best amongst independents. >> i would say the best was mayor pete and i think andrew yang had a very good night. i think mayor pete will see a surge as a result of last night. pete: thank you very much for being here. merry christmas to you. six democratic debates now in the books. what were the biggest hits and misses? karl rove candidates went head-to-head in a 2000 election joining us live to break down

the democratic primary process so far, coming up next. if your gums bleed when you brush, you may have gingivitis. and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums, and possibly... tooth loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax.

>> you should respect our experience when you look at how you evaluate someone. >> i raise my right hand and swore to defend with my life. that is my experience and it may not be the same as yours but it counts. >> katie: so the mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and i have never even been to a wine cave. i've been to the wind cave in south dakota. >> our good friend joe, he is a good friend, he's received contributions from 44 billionaires and pete on the other hand is trailing, pete. you only got 39 billionaires

contributing. >> we need to get money out of politics. steve: so that was the democratic debate. it was only seven on stage. now let's bring two on to our stage, karl rove former senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush and fox news contributor as well and donna brazile former dnc interim chair, former campaign manager for al gore in 2000 and fox news contributor and let's just open up both of you. donna, you first. have you ever been to a wine cave? >> can i say something? i love wine, and now that i know that there's such a thing as a cave, i can not wait to go visit any place you would send me. i think you need to have an expert. steve: karl? >> i don't drink. >> and by the way, i know he doesn't drink. we were once on a plane for 10 hours and i kept taking his wine

he does not drink. >> she told me what to order and i would order it and she would drink it. steve: you are a good friend. >> katie: bipartisanship. steve: karl, let's start with you. hits and misses of last night? >> well the big one was the wine cave exchange. there were lots of hits. we had an exchange between biden and sanders over medicare for all, but i really think that the hit, the poor pete buttigieg was just getting hammered, amy klobuchar went after him, he got sideswiped by sanders but warren went after him and what was interesting to me was not so much the attack, it was the answer, because when you have a question like that you want to come back strong and he's came back, i thought, started off pretty weak, and he ended with what could have been the strongest point. remember he starts by saying, you know, we got to talk to rich progressives, you're worth 100 times me if i took a

contribution from you would i be corrupt but he ended with what should have been the strong point which is you ran for the senate and took money at fundraisers and he should have started with that and said wait a minute you took $10.4 million from your senate campaign that you raised at fancy fundraisers all across the country and money you got from corporate ceo's and wealthy people, looking for a loophole in the law and an in with you and you took that money in two senate races and transferred it into your presidential campaign and now you're supposed to tell us how to run our campaigns and it could have gotten to the question of her credibility and her authenticity which has hurt her a couple of times in this campaign but he started weak and ended with that point by which time we'd all sort of moved on. pete: donna so that's a republican take on last night. as a democrat who comes away looking better than they did yesterday? >> well first of all joe biden is still in the lead nationally in the national polls. i think he did well, by just standing up and not being afraid to answer the questions.

i thought it was his best debate performance. i also think amy klobuchar, andrew yang, they are still at the bottom of the polls in terms of the seven on stage but i also thought they had great debate performances. i agree with karl that mayor pete could have, you know, really went for the jugular but his style and his demeanor and his character is one that i think voters appreciate. overall, i thought it was a good debate for democrats who are still shopping but we still have 45 days to go until we reached the iowa caucus and i still believe by the end of next month , we will have another front runner. >> katie: so impeachment was the first question asked last night at the debate. there's been a lot of talk about that obviously in washington d.c., the house passed two articles of impeachment, but now , one of the law professors in harvard law, his name is noah

feldman, who testified on behalf of democrats in the impeachment inquiry is now arguing in a bloomberg piece that the president isn't actually impeached because nancy pelosi hasn't given the articles to the senate. he says if the house does not communicate it's impeachment to the senate it hasn't actually impeached the president. if the articles are not transmit ted trump could legitimately say he wasn't truly impeached at all so karl, where are we on this? >> i think professor feldman is correct and he makes his argument by quoting the constitution. here is the board, baby. the house has the sole power of impeachment. the senate has the sole power to trial impeachment in article one which describes the congress. article ii describing the executive says the presidential be removed from office on impeachment for, and then lists high crimes and misdemeanors et cetera. so i think he makes a good case that the founders contemplated a process, so the media writes you've been impeached when the

house passes its measure, but in reality you're not impeached until the senate has conducted a trial and two-thirds of the senators voted to remove you from office so i thought it was a good intellectual point but look the media long ago got into the handwriting that did this under clinton and under nixon, where they basically hung you've been impeached when the house votes. the house had not yet voted in nixon's case, they did vote in clinton's case, same thing for president trump, so i think professor feldman is accurate. it's the media that's wrong. steve: donna exit question real quickly. what is nancy pelosi doing sitting on this stuff? >> she's not sitting. look i think this was a very strategic move on her part. she understands that she has to appoint managers to take the articles of impeachment across the whatever. across to the senate, and that's when the trial is triggered so i think she knows what the process

is all about, and it's about time, and i believe we'll know soon when she will send those managers over to the senate. >> katie: she's also said the president is impeached but according to noah feldman at harvard law, she is not. steve: karl and donna thank you very much and merry christmas. >> merry christmas. steve: 19 minutes before the top of the hour. pete: look whose over there? >> katie: and who wants to be on a plane next to karl rove by the way? reporter: good morning to you guys let's get you caught up on this story we've been following for months an investigation finds no criminal wrongdoing at the race horse track where dozen s of ables animals have died. 56 horse deaths were reported since july of 2018, los angeles prosecutors say there's no evidence of animal cruelty but it did offer 27 recommendations for safety peoples. animal activists are calling for the track know close.
