beach, to turning point usa, a group of conservatives. he. pete: he was talking about the extreme left the only way the president does. here he is blasting house democrats. >> you have no crime, there was no nothing. in fact there was no impeachment. their own lawyers said there was no impeachment. what are we doing here. the world is watching. crazy nancy, she's crazy. she has no case. has no case. let's not submit it, right? that's food, right. so unfair. so unfair. she has no case. did they look back? they got up the same thing, the constitution. they are violating the constitution totally. pete: mentioning noah feldman, who we talked about in this program, the leftist professor who testified on behalf of adam schiff, wrote an op-ed in

bloomberg, if you vote impeachment and he is not don't pass it to the senate he is not impeached. we rushed the vote. there was no urge -- ed: we'll sit on it. emily: for the students, those are the greatist civic lesson, cooperation or adherence to process what they see is grinding halt of congressman to the left. seeing a president getting through the executive action everything done. ed: he got some legislative victories. something mark meadows a conservative ally for the president. he will step down. help reelect the president. he was on with jesse watters. he can't believe the atmosphere on the hill. >> a lot of democrats were wearing black, to put on a pr stunt if it was somber mood. they're putting on black, for a

lot of them this is their political funeral. i can tell you they're high-fiving in the hallways from a real democrat district, a real progressive district. the rest of them are very scared and they should be, because the american people, just like you pointed out, the american people are seeing beyond this. pete: see beyond the fact this was solemn, prayerful process. they watched pretend democrats, they know behind the scenes as others like rashida tlaib exposed they're thrilled they think this is useful exercise. emily: there is true celebration of that. so revolting to me. when i was at a sentencing, when i would present, i would never celebrated. i was never smug something serious about condemning something for the rest of their life. it is sickening to me our elected officials are reveling in it. it is civic lessons. transparency is exposed. seeing them for who they really are. ed: democrats on the campaign trail. what about the democrats that

want to take the president's job. you heard al green suggested, impeachment was about taking him from office because they don't believe they can beat him at the ballot next negative. out at the debate, elizabeth warren had been front-runner recently, had been falling took this shot at pete buttigieg at that may be backfire. we'll look at the shot. we'll talk about it. >> so the mayor just recently had a fund-raiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served 900-dollar a bottle wine. think about who comes to that. billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. ed: was really about piling on her idea about beating up on the rich. pete: if you own a wine cave full of crystals -- ed: hanging from the ceiling if you look at crystals. pete: you must be uber, uber, super billionaire. ed: out of touch with

middle-class americans. emily: belying her insecurity about iowa. now it was seemed like punching down. pete: good point. buttigieg is ahead in recent polls. that is why she is going after her. well the associated press did a report yesterday, caught our eye. here it is about elizabeth warren. they said at a fund-raiser for her they were treated to songs by grammy-winning artist melissaeth ridge, remarks from warren, a few month from announcing campaign for the 2020 presidential nomination. for top donors, couple 5400, single person 2700, there was vip photo reception an premium seating for others that gave $1000. there was a souvenir, bottle of wine. ed: warren's spokeswoman, this event occurred before the presidential campaign was held at music venue with multiple

locations throughout the country, not an enexclusive wine cave. their most expensive bottle of wine is $49. at invite shows, minute pump was $100. did not require a max out donation to attend. smaller donations, a wind fund-raiser. may not have been at a cave or some rich person's home, as you pointed out from one of the senate races she had fund-raiser with the same folks. don't know whether it was in wine cave or backyard. pete: maybe this guy is so rich he built the wine cave later t was in 2012 while running for the senate. this guy held a fund-raiser at same place where pete buttigieg did. this is reportedly. on the internet you can see the invite. dripping angst and anger towards anyone who is wealthy. the idea she would never be bought by billionaires but pete buttigieg or other people would. she is not independently wealthy enough to run for office. she needs to raise money. who gives you money?

rich people with wine caves. ed: giving history about the 2012 event. 2018 at a winery you had a fund-raiser as well with obviously a whole bunch of rich people, all candidates, that is where they get money from rich people. people in the middle class will send in money over the internet. that is what bernie sanders capitalized because he has enthusiasm. it was a cheap shot. it has come back hit her in the face and makes her look authentic. emily: whole approach of condemning people, jane lynch sent out a tweet, billionaire has the same equal vote as someone who doesn't have any money. i thought mayor pete's response was really great. he didn't deny it. there is apology tour that a lot of candidates. i'm sorry. i did. did it affect me? no. your net worth is 100 times mine.

peter good to have you in. >> nice to be with you again. ed: interesting to think back to 2016 when some of the smart money managers, allegedly smart were predicting there would be some sort of market meltdown if donald trump got elected. seems like just the opposite happened. >> absolutely. some of our best economists that live on the charles river with elizabeth said we would have recession. not to mention krugman with the "new york times." the reality his policies are working. they're working well. i might say the economic textbooks, written by good liberals up there on the charles river said tax cuts and proper regulation works well. the thing is, that so many of the analysts, whether they write at "wall street journal" or on a canoe on the charles river, homoacademis is really homo

hypocrites. they let it blind them. mr. trump might not be the nicest person on earth. i don't particularly dislike him but they do, but, that separate that from his policies. they're very good. ed: you noticed a cnn poll said 76% of people, forget about the money managers, feel like this economy is pretty good for them. let's turn to the person you mentioned when you said elizabeth up in massachusetts i assume you're talking about elizabeth warren running for president. here there is a screen shot of her with the light saber on her campaign saying billionaires, wall street ceos, and sith lords beware the force is strong with elizabeth warren. what say you? >> this is just nonsense. elizabeth likes to project herself as the champion of the downtrodden she is among them. the reality, being published this morning in "the wall street journal," she raised a lot of money from billionaires while running for senate. what she did, she took $10 million of that, moved it from the senate campaign to her

presidential campaign. more than being a hypocrite, i'm here to say to you, she is lying to the american voter. you can't even accuse bernie of lying. you can accuse of bernie forgetting the history of socialism in europe and being cynical, i mean elizabeth is really lying. she took money from billionaires. she uses billionaires to serve her purposes. she is simply lying. ed: all over the map. bernie sanders you might say socialist before socialism for democrats was cool. professor, we appreciate you coming in. >> take care. ed: we showed you dramatic video. police dog leaping through a window to take down a suspect. well we have a special treat. that heroic hound named duke, his human partner, there they are. they join us next live. good morning.

a lot of comments, i would love for her to make me a sweater. i will take three of them. that is since probably the biggest compliment, i fully intended pulling this apart, using pieces putting the shirt in the trash. i never expected this. ed: that's great. pete: that is fake santa on sweater, real santa, you can tell us, santa watches "fox & friends." what did you ask for from santa this year? >> i asked him for a tablet. emily: tablet. pete: now he knows. i have a feeling you've been good this year. ed: smile for mom. leyla, megan, appreciate it. great effort. >> thanks so much for having us. emily: merry christmas. ed: that's great. coming up new 3 billion-dollar plan to help solve california's homelessness crisis. there is a push to get you to pay for it. wait until you see what it actually looks like.

post your christmas photos on fox all-american christmas. please visit us in fox square and take your photos in front of our christmas tree. >> first day of hanukkah tonight >> the president feels pretty festive about where the economy is now. think back to 2016. there was a story from october 2016, in a "politico" where all the so-called smart economists were predicting the markets would take if job-- if donald j trump were elected. there was a delete commonest of from the "new york times" that said if donald trump gets elected the economy will tank. >> we have seen the markets rise, rice, rice and brand-new information this morning with money managers assaying 68 a percent saying recession is unlikely in 2023rd that's important if you think about the president heading in after his

impeachment battle heading into this election year when they said the economy stupid. people feel good about the economy right now. >> they do. a literally breaking the-- records every month and the economy 70% consumer driven. it's difficult to swallow the messages from the left and the democratic candidates saying it's not okay because that's not what they see and that's not what their pocketbook reflects. >> bingo. the debate talked about growing income inequality in this economy is only working for the tippy top of the uber wealthy. well, the mac-- pan kayne manager for the president tweeted this out yesterday based on the bureau of labor statistics. that blue line right there is low-wage industry, so incomes in low-wage industry from 2017-to 2019. look where it's gone.

if you are telling me that's low-wage workers skyrocketing up as far as increases in wage growth, it's pretty tough to want people and the eye and say you are in a job where you make a bit less money but you are making more and you feel it in your paycheck, you don't see lines a separate that aggressively and if you try to attack income inequality we went to make people's lives better that's how you want the graph to look in different than the tall tale democrats are trying to spin. >> the increase in low wages-- wages for low-wage jobs is not the result of pollution regulation enforced minimum wage of that chart reflects the result of a robust capitalist economy that ultimately is the result of the investors increasing wages. flashback to the media made us fear there was a possible recession around the corner and always going bad. take a look.

>> recession jitters, president trump said to be rattled as economic alarm bells called wild week on wall street. >> there are indicators the us could be headed for a recession. >> there are rough waters ahead may be a recession. >> fears of coming recession. >> a yield curve inverted before every us recession since 1955. >> recession on the horizon. >> recession. >> recession. >> recession. >> think about the message of summit media has been pushing, jitters, rattles, fears, all negative terms that made people a bit anxious about the economy, don't believe your paycheck is a recession coming and i mentioned 2069 predictions because it's important but in that context that from the beginning of donald trump's first campaign the smarty-pants have been wrong

and said if he was elected the markets would take. he wins and the tax-cut and then a recession is coming. it's going to be really bad in 2019, early 2020 and hear a new survey says no. cnn poll a few days ago said 76% of the people not the smarty-pants economists say that economy is good and this is how they read economic reports, the job numbers are up, the stock market is up, wages are up, manufacturing jobs up-- hold on, but here on page five it says that inverted yield curve is down. that better be our lead, i mean, how do they look at this, there's can know-- there's no connection to what real people feel and they have been cheering for the market and economy to go down because they think that's the only hope for their terrible candidate and instead of economist on wall street say--

>> of employment is down wages are up in the economy is pretty good. if you're a democrat like elizabeth warren you go after the billionaires because you try to drive a wedge and a look at the latest push by her campaign got the photo posted online saying jedi mind tricks are going on. you have elizabeth warren with a light saber billionaires wall street ceos and since beware, the fourth is strong with elizabeth warren you. >> what you think of that? >> it's like the false messaging are pushing. they are labeling as villains certain people who contribute to the economy and a robust way anymore, located way. it surprised me at the debate when the question was raised about taxes and economic and economists who poked holes in her proposed plan and she said they are just wrong. i actually thought she was smarter than that that she wouldn't stick to oversimplification, it's

difficult for the average american to swallow when someone is not transparent. >> that's your only refuge. they have to say they are just wrong or don't you know i'm a harvard professor who staged their background to become a harvard professor. a real expert is peter. he calls out warren what you just said, lying to voters. >> elizabeth likes to protect yourself as the champion of the downtrodden and that she's among them, so more than being a hypocrite i'm here to say today to you that she is lying to the american voters, i mean, she took money from billionaires, uses billionaires to server purposes and she simply line. that's nonsense. >> this is black and this is white. >> i think she might think lights sabers are real to. [laughter]

>> issue like holding it like-- that's not how you swing a light saber. >> what's real is what's going on in new york state, illegal immigrants take advantage of it for getting drivers licenses. this was a change of the law and you can see the line outside the department of motor vehicles various offices all across the state and so this has been a hotly debated topic. there have been some clerk saying i'm not going to issue licenses because this is ridiculous and others saying they are here in the country and you need to give them license to drive safely, but the surge in the numbers coming in. monday, 3400 learner permits issued. tuesday, 2500 on and on and on to the point that there's been a 133% surge for drivers licenses in new york among illegal immigrants. >> we would love to hear your comments. if you could e-mail as at

friends at foxnews.com. and tell us what you think about this. it's a really important issue. it's a localized in the new york, but-- >> and a lot of other states as well. are you a tax paid legal citizen of the united states, maybe you came here legally and did not jump the border, you didn't jump the line and you don't expect the country to give you something after you came here illegally. how do you feel about this cracks they are usually-- they are the most passionate people because they look at the illegality and the separation of the illegality on the left, not just maybe you shouldn't do that it's more people come, more refugees, doesn't matter what you are bringing an by the way take all the free stuff our government will give you. >> drivers license, healthcare, free tuition. >> reparations admit we should pay them after the fact some operations because we are the bad guys?

we are the bad place that needs to pay the people come here illegally? wrap your brain around about one in the garden ballot box november 2, 2020, and let's figure out which lever you poll. there are so disconnected from the average people. i mean, this is new york state and you get what you get, but is it around the country? >> mixed messages coming from state and federal. you mention these people can get to work more saber legally, but employers are held legally responsible for employee immigrants so where's the upside and that? we are rewarding one component that's rendered illegal federally, so these estates will pay for this eventually. >> absolutely. let's look at other headlights, funeral held, about 1000 pens-- friends and family members 18-year old in her hometown of charlottesville, virginia. >> she was never uncomfortable with anyone because she was so comfortable with herself.

tests was our hearts, our anchor in a common home. >> three teens accused of killing majors during a robbery gone bad in a new york city park earlier this month. about 13-year old-- that's right 13-year old is in custody police releasing this photo of a 14-year old wanted for questioning in this murder. nypd is not naming him yet. foxnews alert * line are scheduled to return to earth's orbit in about 20 minutes, landing at that time in new mexico. boeing's first space test flight was cut short after the * liner failed to reach the international space station because the glitch with the clock. they've been spending-- played to send our thoughts into space next year in the same aircraft. the president saying he will sign pays one trade deal with china shortly.

the deal was announced earlier this month and hopes to end a long trade work for the us will reduce some of the terrorists against china and return and in return china will increase purchases on american farms, energy and a mac-- manufacturing is as well. >> tonight marking the first night of hanukkah. the jewish holiday begins at sunset and families will celebrate by lighting a candle each day over the next eight days. veranda lighting ceremony will take place tonight for the national menorah at the white house. >> we have a menorah downstairs, but i'm told the fuses blown. get that fixed because tomorrow morning i will be watching you, ed, on "fox & friends". better be on. california's homeless crisis is surging, but one group has a $3 billion solution. a city just built for them and you could be on the hook for it that's coming up. >> president trump a bringing merry christmas back. >> do you remember they were

home. of the 3 billion-dollar all-inclusive area will include dorm rooms, underground tunnels, cafeterias and even communal-- can we know pods and arcades. treated-- hidden truth show podcast, jim. taser being here. this vision of a city-- i have to imagine eventually they want taxpayers to pay for this are to break this down. >> yeah, taxpayers in a los angeles have already committed $1.5 billion to solve the homeless crisis to build housing, but the problem is a los angeles, they are building the housing and one of the most expensive zip codes in all of la, venice beach california where the first one is going in at a cost of $600,000 per units. this guy, duane nathan of a citizens again has come up with a better solution which is to build it in a in expected-- inexpensive area edit inexpensive

cost proposing it be about $20000 per unit. at $3 billion you would solve la's problem four times over. la would only need half of the money they pledge of they would follow plan like this, so i like the private market solutions to some of these homeless problems. >> i get it, you like the private sector solution. if politicians get their hands in the mix and they want the government to solve it for everyone , but is this really the solution? no one wants homelessness, you want to address it, but is building a amusement park for people that don't have homes the way to address the problems that folks have? >> what i like about it is low-cost shelters are for sure they need more shoulders up are the reason we've seen such an explosion in california is that they are no longer enforcing the laws about sleeping on the streets and if you allow a behavior you will encourage that behavior and the response from la politicians and others is to make it more comfortable for these people to sleep on the

street providing showers and toilets and providing garbage cleanup and so on and that's not the solution. you will only encourage the problem, but i have spoken with local leaders and by the way i think it is a local problem and should be addressed at the neighborhood and community level. there's nonprofits injured he's great jobs at a local level. it's not a problem to sit back and help the federal government or frankly the state government will solve. pete: citizens again the group trying to do this is the mission statement everything will be a city and a community they will want to be apart of so those that desire an opportunity to gain at life skills to integrate back into society sounds good if you wanted it with private dollars that's great, but can the government california gavin newsom and others resist coming in with taxpayer dollars. >> i don't think they can. i think they feel the pressure to come with taxpayer dollars and

again i like the private market solutions and encourage people to come forward. i think it's a bit pie-in-the-sky. but, it's the early stages and i really think it gets the conversation going as to was the most inexpensive way to build housing. if you build housing outside of los angeles in less expensive zip codes as a way to go, not building it where the homeless are peered to home was on the extensive areas because it's the nicest place. doesn't mean they are entitled to live in those places. most people are smart enough to realize you don't get to live exactly where you want to. i would love to live in beverly hills, can't afford to live in beverly hills, so i don't live in beverly hills a. pete: $50000 to cost of the-- cover the cost of the founder, not quite there to 3 billion. thank you, jim. >> thank you. pete: eddie murphy returns to saturday night live and one of his former costars got a shout out during monologue. >> you said it, chris

so unfair. she has no case. ed: it wasn't just the president the fake president, also, baldwin taking on pelosi and impeachment. >> i brought you to gifts, mr. president, articles of impeachment. >> great, give it to mitch in the senate. >> you know how sometimes you get a gift and you like it so much you want to keep it as a gift for yourself? >> you can to do that. >> watch me peer good luck at the state of the union. ed: here to weigh in, political battle constitutional law attorney in senior legal adviser to the 2020 campaign and gop candidate for u.s. senate in virginia. good to have you here. everything is crazy, baby. how do you respond to that, jenna imac this is unfair because let's remember that impeachment is the legal term for filing charges

and what the democrats are doing is filing false charges against president trump. they can't constitutionally file for any reason whatsoever. hating president trump is not a crime, so as we move it forward-- possibly i mean are we even moving forward cracks either president trump has not been impeached because the charges haven't been filed in the senate so the senate doesn't have jurisdiction or she's going outside the margin of her constitutional authority and trying to circumvent the chief justice was the head of the child who would preside over it, so either way president trump is entirely correct it's unfair. ed: i said everything gravy baby because alec baldwin was saying once this gets to the senate on not going to be removed from office so is that why dan-- nancy pelosi is holding off waiting for somewhere down the road when she think she has a better shot? >> no. not at all. the removal from the

senate is separate from the impeachment process otherwise impeachment would not be necessary. alexander hamilton lays out the criteria for impeachment including abuse of power. it's about balancing-- the balance of power between coequal branches of government and because president doesn't have to listen to congress-- nancy: z is ensuring has mitch mcconnell who comes out and says there will be no fair trial in the senate. ed: he didn't-- >> he put his thumb on the scale so unless he makes assurances there will be a fair trial and fair hearing then pelosi will-- >> democrats want fairness now. ed: people inside the white house say they don't believe they don't believe it was fair. >> i think fairless is that president trump was listening to the american people and

putting a lot of points on the board. we talk about sports analogies and president trump is scoring point after point after point. look at the us nca, military largest increase like that's what's important right now. the american people are not sitting around their tv thinking about impeachment, they aren't watching these hearings. they are looking at the present putting points on the board. ed: will this make the president stronger in the long run? >> 52% of the american people support impeachment and remove me peer we have seen right track wrong track numbers. when they send the articles when you already have mitch mcconnell saying there won't be a hearer-- fair hearing or fair process -- ed: i will give you a chance, jenna? >> this is just the democrats campaign for 2020 and their trying to write impeachment even though they have no candidate.

america loves a winner and that's what president trump is. ed: appreciate you all coming in ed: great job. one of our nation's heroes is getting a big christmas gift, a brand-new jeep. emily: looks incredible. the surprise on the fox square next so we're making it easier than ever to become part of our family. that's why our chevy employee discount is now available to everyone. the chevy price you pay is what we pay. not a cent more. family is important to us. and we want you to be part of ours. so happy holidays. and welcome to the family. all: the chevy family! get the chevy employee discount for everyone today.

ed: we are back with this box news alert. that is the live look at the billing star liner. it's scheduled to land in new mexico in the next few moments.

boeing is cutting its first space test flight short after the star liner tale to reach the international space station. there was a glitch in the clock, a timing problem preventing the unmanned spacecraft from reaching orbit. of boeing has plan to send astronauts into space next year in the very same spacecraft. this is a big deal. and they have said while he didn't go completely as planned obviously they gleaned important positive information about the flight that they will take sort of moving forward and it has not been a complete sell your. pete: we looking at a parachute. we just saw a burst of light let's hope that's -- looks like it's deployed. you imagine coming down from orbit at whatever speed that is it may take multiple parachutes to slow it down. i'm used to to seeing these things land in the ocean. emily: no matter what it always takes my breath away this

technology even though this particular technology has been around for a while, it's also my understanding that if this particular plight had been manned, remember this is unmanned preparation for later manned flight, but if it had been manned humans could have corrected what was the computer glitch. pete: interesting. emily: interesting that if humans had been there it may have apparently have been successful and now, we are watching-- pete: that's why what you have heard from boeing is it doesn't necessarily mean we won't to do the manned flight because they could've addressed the glitches and it's a fair point, this is why you test. you don't expect everything to go perfect the first time. you correct based on it and you have a better shot. ed: pete made a historical reference a few moments ago about the apollo spacecraft, they would come down in the ocean and its optical here because this capsule coating to the "new york times" is very

similar, much like the apollo spacecraft that took nasa astronauts to the moon and 50 years ago ms by some of the same technology is being used. pete: when you think about the technology that we had 50 years-- i mean, what it took to do it then before the supercomputer, before all the technology we have now, it's yet another reminder of how special america is and to see his return to space in a robust ways is pretty cool. emily: before apollo was mercury all of the series, i mean, they are the stuff of dreams i know i had on my wall growing up a time out posters including neil armstrong on the moon, buzz aldrin, everything from the b2-- i had everything. this stuff is so beautiful and inspiring a matter where you are. pete: absolutely. ed: fascinating to watch. pete: soon we will the bears--

parachutes that's a space force on them, coming to. ed: we will stay on top of this and report as they land in new mexico and in the meantime more "fox & friends" in a moment do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. ... stand with his people israel now and forever more.

quitting feels so big. so, try making it smaller. and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small... ...can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette ed: let's get straight to this fox news later. you can see this dramatic video of the boeing starliner which had a timing problem. it's now gotten back into earth earth's orbit and has landed safely, white sand, new mexico, very dramatic, happened just moments ago. >> starliner touches down in the desert in new mexico, a historic lands in the white sands, new mexico, the first starliner spacecraft, the first time a -- pete made that historical reference a moment ago about the polo mission and how spacecraft would normally land in the ocean ocean. the saltwater can corrode the metal. so that could have made it more complicated for boeing to get this back up. pete: when we hear american made

landing on land, that's the difference of this one. emily: right and to be clear, we know that, you know, all of the shuttles land, remember, like airplanes on land; so -- is it the my turn iv rockets that propel them into the sky and then they land kind of like airplanes. pete: yep. emily: but these particular un unmanned ones -- and i hope that i'm not giving false information here -- pete: don't worry. ed: important because boeing obviously the fact that it did -- they had it timing problem on friday, and in fact it did not reach the space station, was a problem. boeing was saying, look. we did glean important information that we'll make sure that we do better in the days ahead. but now that it landed safely in new mexico, it's obviously positive, so that they can re regroup here and figure out the road ahead. pete: if you want to see our country being aggressive and pushing the envelope spew space, the president talking about it yesterday, signing the new space force, government moving there. but you cheer for boeing to be successful. you want this to work.

you want our people out there. you want us leading the way. so to see the rest of the tests go well, it's a good thing. emily: absolutely. and that's what tests are for. right? we learn information, no one was harmed in this, unmanned flight in preparation for the manned one later so to me it's a success if as you said information was glea.ed ed: as pete noted, the president was successful in terms of getting space force included in that budget deal that he just signed into law, and it's basically a president who's getting things done, key priorities, funding for the border wall, for example, that he's been wanting for so long, even as the impeachment drama plays out in washington. so he was down in west palm beach, florida, yesterday speaking to young conservatives and was really going after nancy pelosi and the house democrats for saying they wanted to rush things, essentially, and now all of a sudden taking a little pause before they send the articles over to the senate. here's the president. trump: there's no crime. there's no nothing. how do you impeach? you had no crime. even their people said there was no crime.

in fact, there's no impeachment. their own lawyer said there's no impeachment. what are we doing here? the world is watching. crazy nancy, she's craze. so now she says, you know, she has no case, she has no case; so let's not submit it. that's good; right? that's good. but you know what? so unfair. it's so unfair. she has no case. did they look bad? they got up the same thing, the constitution, they are violating the constitution totally. ed: look it was ken starr on this program yesterday who said that the abuse of power is now coming from the house of representatives by not sending the articles over. and so you can hear the president say a couple things there. one, that it's a good thing that she's not sending it over in a way because it shows that maybe the house democrats think they have a weak case. on the other hand the president wants those articles over in the senate at some point because he said he wants to be acquitted, he wants to show it's a bad case and he did nothing wrong. emily: i think athe saddest part is it renders it so transparent. not that we didn't know it already but it's just about

gamesmanship, never was about finding evidence and coming to a true conclusion -- ed: nothing about prayers or solemnity? emily: the fact that erring was about fair and evident and now nothing is, it's sad. pete: i would love to have seen a camera in the prayer room before the prayerful vote of the prayerful democrats who already kicked god out of the -- anyway, forgive the american people, forgive you if you have whiplash on this entire process because we were told he go you got to go you got to, hearings, evidence, and you sit back and then you get it all done and because you don't have your managers in order and you're not ready to send to the senate, you're going on vacation for two weeks and then we have to wade to find out whether or not it will be send to the senate at all? what better indictment of the fact they never had a plan for this. it was pure hatred for the president, find anything they can. it didn't work on the mueller

case, they seized on a phone call based on a fake whistleblower who leaked information, and now they're telling us, "well, we'll see if it gets to the senate at all," as if they have leverage over the president who's always said "i'll be exonerated and if you want to have a trial great." pete: the president said you have no leverage, nancy, you don't have a trial because i don't believe in this case." what better whether a to explain how process is broken down for democrats and delay all this out out. what better way to illuminate the story and push it forward then to have stephanie grisham on, live 8:30 eastern, the white house secretary exclusive here on fox & friends. in the meantime, we're talking about the democrats on capitol hill, some of the struggles they're having in terms of what's the way forward. look out at the field, the presidential field, the 2020 democrats. they have problems of their own. remember what al green and other democrats have said which is they think maybe they can't beat the president at the ballot box next november so that's why they've got to impeach him and in fact nancy pelosi may be holding the articles back as the president gets reelected, maybe they would try to then --

pete: can you imagine? ed: -- the election. pete: -- if that was the reality in this whole process they've been debating. now, the ratings have gone down i think maybe every single one. i do know that the sixth debate was the worst rated of all of them. and part of that debate, it's been known as the winecave debate because- because-the-back-and-forth between elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg-edge was about fundraising in wine caves. here's the original exchange. >> so the mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900-a-bottle wine. think about who comes to that. billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. ed: basically what she's trying to do is do more of what she's been doing -- beat up on the rich, beat up on people who -- pete: class warf.re ed: so you add on not just a wine cave where they were

drinking wine, like not a lot of americans drink wine or something. wake up. number 1. but number 2 crystals hanging from the ceiling because there's pictures of where this fundraiser for buttigieg was and it just adds to the picture of opulence. so if you hear that explanation and debate you would think elizabeth warren never, ever had a fundraiser at a winery, right, because that would suggest she's out of touch. emily: right. here's the thing. mayor pete responded in that way which basically said you're the last person that should be throwing barbs my way. apparently in the past she had a certain fundraiser where she was treated to songs by the grammy winning artist melissa etheridge she was months away from announcing her campaign to the democratic 2020 nomination. these are the people that went there. and for these top donors those who could contribute or 5400 a cum, there was premium sitting. and for them and others who gave at least 1,000 there was also a gift which happened to be a souvenir bottle of w.ne

ed: because it happened at a winery; so she was raising that kind of money at a wine event from rich people. pete: wait. were there v.i.p.s there? did they pay a little bit more? did they get a better bottle of wine than everybody else? because we don't talk about elites here. let me count it as a life goal that someday i may have had a wine cave with crystals and kris kristal in the fridge where i'm holding a fundraiser for my own race, where everyone might give a hundred thousand dollars. that's a goal. so the class warfare of this woman -- ed: that's what it is. pete: that's exactly what it is. if you talk about a wine cave, you better have your background clean. the problem is she's raised money just like every other politician throughout here entire career by talking to rich people -- fox news alert -- poor people don't even give donations to presidential campaigns. it's rich people who create businesses, wealthy in this country who donate. doesn't mean you're captured by their ideas. it means they believe in the

candidate. and this is coming back at her. emily: remember, she still you've seen or at least she says that she identifies as a capitalists. so she is essentially attacking the system that we have employed here in our country -- pete: also identified as a native american. saw how that worked .ut emily: that's why her argument is so ridiculous because people see her, these rich people who become wealthy off of the effort on their part and their intelligence and the opportunities that they seized upon, she is attacking them and saying that their vote is worth less, that they matter less as a citizen. to me, it's the equal kind of alienation as if you were telling someone that they matter less because of where they live which we are also hearing from the left, remember, after the debate apparently the regional rump party was from the mountains and the south and the noncollege educated. remember that came out of mainstream media reporters. it is highly offensive that these people and these democratic candidates and the mainstream media that supports them are telling us that we value and mean less because we were part of a certain part of the country or we did or did not

go to school or because we, again, benefited from the capitalist system and employ others and pay taxes which go back into the system. pete: hey, what she said. i love it. emily: my coffee kicked in. ed: can i say it shorter? she has an authenticity problem. that's the question. pete: great point. ed: you talk about heritage, the fund-raising, and so now her campaign is trying to explain. here's her spokesman. "this event which occurred before the presidential campaign was held at a alarming public music venue with multiple locations throughout country." not denying there was wine, their most expensive bottle of wine was $49. as the invite shows the minimum to get in was a hundred bucks. it did not require a max-out donation to get in. given that there were 700 or $800 bottles of wine, the bottom line is you had a wine fundraiser. that fell flat. pete: i was sent to the liquor story the other day. my wife asked me to buy a bunch of bottles of wine. i bought what i thought was expensive wine. none of them were $49.

they were all under 49. the top was 39 which i felt was a little pricey so i feel like 49 still a pretty expensive bottle of wine. emily: taste is subjective and the value of something you can article is what someone's willing to pay for it. pete: there you go. emily: right? so maybe honoring someone's vote would be priceless. ed: pete, he's going to end up pioneering a beer cave. i just feel it coming. a lot of people are like, what's a wine cave? beer cave. pete: a beer cave? ed: beer cave. pete: i have a beer fridge. ed: all american beer cave. pete: oh, boy. emily: hashtag it. pete: let's start it. someone start a gofundme page because i need money. ed: i don't want to throw sour grapes at pete. pete: ed, you've really been on your pun game this weekend. a few more headlines. maybe i'll get a pun in for you. i will try. here's the top story. a chaotic seen in chicago overnight. 13 people shot after a democrat party opens fire inside a home. that's two more victims than were initially reported. police say shots broke out after a fight at a memorial birthday party for a man killed in another shooting in april.

four of the victims, including a teenager were in critical deny president the other nine are stable. two people are in custody. and the u.s. is bracing for a north korean missile test. the military and intelligence committee well aware of recent threats. the rogue regime has said the u.s. would pay dearly for condemning the north's history of human rights abuses. north korea also threatened to give the u.s. a, quote, christmas gift if progress isn't made on lifting sanctions. denuke talks have come to a standstill. ed: the president was on the phone with the japanese prime minister abe yesterday, they were plotting, trying to get strategy going. pete: now to a fox news alert, moments ago the boeing starliner landings in new mexico -- beautiful shots. nasa says the capsule hit the bull's-eye and the landing was smooth. boeing had to cut the test light short after the starliner failed to reach the international space station. a glitch in the starliner's clock prevented the unmanned spacecraft from reaching orbit. boeing has been planning to send

astronauts into space next year in the same spacecraft. we'll see if that happens. and who needs santa when there's amazon's alexa? kids now using -- turn it off for your kids. voice assist feature to buy their own christmas presents. in one instance, the wall street journal reports a 4-year-old bought dozens of items without his mom knowing. tech experts reminding parents, there are peoples like a pi.n. to confirm purchases or turn off voice purchasing altoget.er emily: somehow this was predictable, i have to say. pete: turn it off. emily: of course that's going to happen. remember that little kid that went to amazon prime and purchased a bunch of gifts and the mom donated them all to charity. ed: remember when former c.i.a. director john brennan slammed the president about russia? there were multiple tombs. >> i think he's mishandled so

many matters. he is self-absorbed and he is trying to just promote his own interests. ed: now brennan, he's under the microscope for his involvement in the investigation. we'll dive deep next. what'd we decide on the flyers again? uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over to "over seventy-five years of savings and service." what, we're just gonna swap over? yep. pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over? that's right. instead of all this that i've already-? yeah. what are we gonna do with these? keep it at your desk, and save it for next time. geico. over 75 years of savings and service.

♪ ed: a group suing adam schiff and his house intel panel for not responding to a freedom of information act request that specifically got into the private phone records that schiff released as part of the impeachment push. in the lawsuit, the conservative group judicial watch claims the records are of critical public importance as the subpoenas were issued without any lawful basis and violated the rights of numerous private citizens. fox news contributor and former

c.i.a. station chief daniel hoffman joins us live. good to have you here. i know the freedom of information act traditionally is dealing with the executive branch, not the legislative branch. i'm sure that's where schiff may push back, but i think the key is substantively shouldn't the public get some answers about how adam schiff got rudy giuliani's phone records and by extension devin nunes' phone records and contacts that they had with reporters and others? how did they get that information? >> well, reportedly, the information was held bay third party, by at&t and verizon so adam schiff could subpoena those telephone companies and gain the records. now, this is just call data records. the individuals who made the calls and the dates and duration not the content. of greater concern at least to me as a citizen is why publish it? that appears to be a misuse of authority and just heightens the intensity of the partisan debate on capitol hill over the

impeachment inqu.ry ed: no doubt about it. also under scrutiny is john brennan, the former c.i.a. director. we know that john durham, this u.s. attorney from connecticut who's been tasked by the attorney general, william barr, to get to the bottom of how the f.b.i., the justice department originally launched that investigation of the trump campaign in 2016. we've had the inspector general report, but the inspector general as you know doesn't have the power to prosecute, raise all kinds of questions about what went wrong. what's next for john brennan? >> well, i think the concern is that in retirement, john brennan has exhibited tremendous prejudicial bias against president trump. and the question is whether he was doing that when he was director of c.i.a. in the summer and the fall of 2016. and so john durham is going to subpoena john brennan's emails and other records to gather the facts and determine whether john brennan was conducting his work in an unbiased manner. brennan was responsible for a

fusion cell with f.b.i. and n.s.a. collecting information on the russia investigation in the summer and fall of 2016. so he's right in the middle of it . ed: a lot of people have raised questions obviously about james comey's role. he didn't do himself any favors last week in his interview with chris wallace. in 15 seconds, does john brennan brennan's role -- you've been inside the c.i.a. -- is this just politics or does it really deserve scrutiny here? >> i think it deserves scrutiny. intelligence officers are supposed to be objective, not to show any predisposed bite in any way. and john brennan does that and he's made great errors in retirement. and i saw him do it when he was director c.i.a. so i think there is imperson his involvement for sure. ed: certainly a lot of questions questions. we'll see if we get answers and accountability. daniel hoffman, we appreciate you coming in. the green bay packers foundation facing backlash for donating planned parenthood. two former nfl players weigh in on that controversial next. and a train derails, crashing into a river.

the l.a. international airport. the fire closing the airport parking lots and delaying traffic during the busy christmas travel season. now, they say an electrical problem sparking the fire on one of the propane power buses before quickly spreading to the other two buses. thankfully there were no passenger's side on board. and a massive cleanup project underway after a train derailment. the freighter derailing along the west virginia-maryland line sending some of the cars into the potomac river. there were no injuries or hazardous spills. it was unclear what caused the derailment. emily, down to you. emily: thanks, pete. the green bay packers foundation is now facing backlash from pro-life groups and fans after awarding one of its annual grants to planned parenthood of wisconsin. the foundation is defending the move and saying the money was given specifically for a program dedicated to helping latino families and, quote "does not necessarily imply endorsement of other actions by the organization." but was this best decision? here to weigh in are former nfl

football stars jack brewer who played for the cardinals, eagles giants, and the viking, and chris stiletta who played to the titans, saints, and buccaneers. i want to start with you, jack. the packers are a community owned team, and up until now i think a lot of people associate the nfl with philanthropies that really are across the board, the make-a-wish foundation, et cetera. tell me your thoughts on how this affects you as a former player. >> i think it was a bad move any time you support an organization that participated in black genocide across america, particularly a league like the nfl, you see so many positive stories from the make-a-wish foundation to all the other cool charities that nfl teams support to go out and support a team -- or support an organization that actually kills babies at the rate that they do, i mean, in the state of new york alone, there's more black babies that get aborted every year than there are that actually are born

born. and that's just a sad reality. i think the green bay packers made a big mistake. emily: and chris, already the nfl has already faced a lot of consumer attrition, frankly, based on decisions that certain athletes and the organization itself has made. so how does this add to it now and how does this affect or could it affect the fan base for the packers themselves? >> we live in a business environment of pure transparency these days. no longer does just a simple corporate donation, is it perceived as a philanthropic check. actually it's perceived as something your brand stands for. and i think this is a case where optics matter. 61% of millennials and gen-z's, the future economy wants to associate themselves with brands and companies that actually stand for something. it's like the thom shoes model. and this corporate donation to planned parenthood, while they do say typhus specific, you know health initiative for latino families, it throws you in the middle of a political super storm.

optics matter. and that's the lesson that we have to learn here. there are plenty of other initiatives and organizations they could have donated to that really would have accomplished the same thing. and you've got to make those types of decisions. we do that in my business all the time where you're measuring how your audience is going to respond to that. why even take the risk of alienating 50% of your audience when you're a $250 million business. emily: exactly. on to a second topic, the patriots have just won the afc east title thanks to tom brady in the fourth quarter last night night. i can't not admit that i'm a little disappointed, but anyway, moving on. so, jack, what are your thoughts on the vikings and what's going to happen on monday night? >> it's going to be a good game with the vikings. tom brady last night was incredible. 42-year-old man, this guy started playing in the national football league before i got there; so to see him still being able to do that at that level and for them to be able to build their team and change their entire scheme and game plans week by week to make tom fit in

and continue to be successful is a pretty cool thing to watch. emily: and chris you, too, ray veteran of multiple times. what are your thoughts? >> look, there are players who know how to win, there are players who refuse to lose, and then you get once in a lifetime like a tom brady. he's both. and i can't -- you know, the guy just defies all odds, the things that he and bill belichick have been able to do over the years is really just unbelievable, the fact that he consistently delivers. he was an afterthought in the seventh round of the -- sixth or seventh round of the draft in the year 2000. it's unbelievable. hats off to the patriots. i wish them all the best for sure. i do have to go with the vikings on monday ni.ht emily: thank you both, thank you to jack brewer and chris viletta viletta. on to saturday night live which took on nancy pelosi and impeachment. take a look. >> i brought you two gifts, mr. president. they're the articles of impeachment. >> oh, great. give it to mitch in the senate. emily: the white house he is

♪ trump: no crime. there's no nothing. how do you impeach? you had no crime. in fact, there's no impeachment. their own lawyers said there's no impeachment. what are we doing here? ed: what are we doing asked the president. let's put that question to stephanie grisham. she's the white house press secretary and communications director. good morning, and merry christmas. >> good morning, and merry, merry christ.as ed: good to have you. what in the world is going on now? what's the white house view about what happens next here since nancy pelosi's holding back the articles? >> well, as the president has said, we're hoping for a very quick trial in the senate, which clearly that's not going to happen right now. it looks like, you know, the house democrats have thrown our country into chaos for absolutely no reason. they impeached a president who did absolutely nothing wrong, and now they don't have the guts to see it through and send it over to the senate. so we're in a holding pattern, obviously, which is unfortunate, because, again, it's put the country into chaos. pete: stephanie, i have to correct you because nancy pelosi

did indeed deliver the articles of impeachment last night. watch. >> i brought you two gifts, mr. president. they're the articles of impeachment. >> oh, great give it to mitch in the senate and everything's gravy, baby. >> you know how much you get a gift and you want to keep it as a gift to yourself? >> he can't do that. >> watch me. good luck at the state of the union. pete: well, she loved it so much it was a big rush. we had to do it right away, now, impeach. and then it's good; right? and then wait. why? >> you think that, you know, i've been saying this for a while. i think that she overplayed her hand. i think that, you know, they don't have a case, and it's so very clear, and she knows that when it gets over to the senate there will be actual evidence introduced and actual witnesses that will show even more that this president did nothing wrong wrong. so now she's just going to hold on to these things. it's like she's taken her toys and gone home. it's really, really unfortunate,

because the president does deserve due process, and the president does deserve to be acquitted. and this country deserves to know that their president did absolutely nothing wrong. emily: stephanie, it's clear the negative results that are occurring right now because of them hanging onto this; right? the president is not being afforded due process. americans are confused. they're turned off by the process. it's becoming obvious and transparent that it's just political gamesmanship and actually wasn't about substance or evidence. tell me if there's any positives whatsoever to her holding onto this. >> i do not see any positives. and i've got to say, you know, obviously this is not working out for them. polling is showing more and more that not only are americans tuning out, but people are saying that this is a sham and that impeachment should not happen. and, you know, i think there should be a concern, too, that this is a political game that could affect our country for years to come no matter what the party. if one party does not like a sitting president, they can just say we're going to go ahead and impeach him. i mean, this is dangerous for our country. and i think the american people know that.

so i think there are no -- there's nothing good about anything with this process let alone her holding onto things. pete: stephanie, we've seen the economic news. it's been bang bursts. in fact there's a big money managers survey on the economy recently showed that 68% of these big money managers believe the recession is unlikely in 2020. the opposite of that means they think the growth is going to continue in this year, an election year which you also can't ignore. you also can't ignore the fact that they've been pushing -- we're going to play a few clips here -- of the media wanting to foment the idea that recession is coming. watch. >> recession the juries. president trump said to be rattled as economic alarm bells cause a wild week on wall stree. >> there are indicators that the u.s. could be headed for a recession. >> there are some rough waters ahead, maybe a recession. >> fears of a coming recession spikes on the heels of a key economic indicator which called an inverted yield curve. >> the yield curve has inverted.

every -- before every u.s. recession since 1955. >> they say potential recession on the horizon. >> recession. >> recession. >> recession. pete: look out for that yield curve. it's coming for you. the election didn't work. resistance didn't work. now the recession isn't happening. your response to the wish list of democrats, hoping he fails but the reality of a very strong economy. >> it's hard for me during the christmas season. i'm trying to actually be positive, but i'll say the media should be ashamed. i mean, this is what they've done since day one with the president taking office. first it was the mueller report. we've got montages of the media indicting him before he even took office, actually. so it doesn't surprise me that you had a montage of them saying the word "recession." the fact of the matter is we've got job growth; our economy is booming; the stock market continues to have great highs. the president just has been working on usmca and he signed m mdaa and the spending legislation that gives veterans more support, border wall

funding. we've got defense spending, we've given our very brave military troops a pay raise. we've got a sixth arm of the military with space force. the president continues to work and we're very, very proud of that fact. so the media, the dems, they can continue on with this if they don't want to get on board, that's okay. 2020 is around the corner -- ed: stephanie, real quick. those are a lot of victories you've laid out for the president. that's positive. on the other hand almost everything you mentioned is more federal spending whether it's space force, the wall, other things. what about the debt that the president talked about in the 2016 campaign? >> the debt's very important, and he's going to continue to keep an eye on that. but he also ran on the importance of our border security, and he's made that something that's very important. and veterans do deserve all of our support. they've been i think a forgotten group for a very long time. same with our military. they go out there and put their lives on the line all the time; so you have to balance the debt with these people who need our support and with our national security, and that's something the president, as president, has to decide on every day. pete: and considered against the

proposals of a green new deal and medicare for all. thank you, stephanie. merry christmas. >> merry christmas. thank you. ed: let's turn to some other headlines. we're learning more about the women charged in connection with the murder of heidi broussard, a friend revealing megan firamuska searching for the missing mother because she was so sick over the stance. police broussard in the trunk of megan's car and her daughter inside megan's home alive. she's the only suspect in custody. charged now with kidnapping and tampering with a corpse. more charges could be coming. and on to a fox news alert, the recovery team now checking out the boeing starliner right now. you see these live pictures. the capsule landed moments ago in new mexico, safely. boeing had to cut the test flight short after the starliner failed to reach the international space station. a glitch in the starliner's clock prevented the unmanned

spacecraft from reaching orbit. you see these dramatic pictures we had a few moments ago. boeing has been planning to send astronauts into space next year in the very same spacecraft. and a place k-9 going beyond the call of duty. remember this picture? this is amazing. this is duke shattering through a window to take down a suspect and end a chase in california. duke and his handler joined us live earlier. >> i've seen him do it in training before, many times winning going through the window but i've never had him jump through glass. so i was kind of curious to see how he would react to that and he wasn't fa.ed ed: duke was not injured and already back to work and anticipating all kinds of treats for christmas. i think the officer said that under direct questioning from pete that he might get a little extra something under the tree this year. emily: and his birthday, the dog dog's birthday happens to be christmas eve so it's birthday and christmas that he will be showered with gifts .or ed: duke, you're a good dog. duke and conan topping the list of good notes.

we're living in such kind of a polarized time and tribal time where you -- if you voted for donald trump in 2016, you're not changing your vote in 2020 because of a celebrity endorsing the other party. and if anything, i think with kind of the such -- the outland outlandish things they've said from just recently when nancy called our president an imposter if anything created more followers and support for donald trump. so, for me, i think it's -- you know, it's sexy on the surface, but it's really just noise in the end. >> that's a good way to put it. here 2020 endorsements. actor kevin costner, i loved him in field of dreams, and despite what the critics say he was good in waterworld. he endorsed pete buttigieg in iowa. and jon bon jovi. donald glover designed merchandise for andrew yang and helped them sell it tea los

always people in the media predicting a recession and now the new information this morning a survey of key money managers say 68% recession unlikely in 2020 which last i checked was an election year. pete: your checking with bank of america global fund manager survey, they surveyed folks in early december, the new year is almost 70% similar to yesterday's number we talked about. americans most of which are not money managers feel the same way that the economy is great or good, and you contrast that with the way democrats have been talking about the economy almost wishing for it to fail certainly cuts into the president. >> i am no economist but it's my understanding too all of the predictions were in hindsight. you can never predict a recession. it's always we look back and see what the common denominators were leading up to it so all of this kind of debbie downer and doomsday predictions doesn't jive with what is actually happening which is that people's wages are increasing, unemployment is decreasing, the economy is robust, as you keep

saying it's gangbusters, 76% of americans -- ed: and as you suggested look the unemployment rate has been historically low. you've heard democrats say well it's just a stat. people don't feel what you really need is wage growth so look at the chart, tweeted output out on social media, by the president's campaign manager , pick up in wage growth that has come from low wage, and this survey is interesting because that's where you need to see it built. pete: look at the blue line far right of your screen, 2019 the blue line is low wage industries as far as wage growth. look at where it was before, under obama right there, not picking up or gaining steam basically staying level and then you look at the forgotten men and women of this country, the industries that were supposed to be left behind, wages now growing rapidly, and those numbers, by the way, those aren't made up by the trump campaign. that's the labor of bureau statistics, government numbers saying wages are up so when you're on a debate stage as a democrat trying to pretend like oh, the economy is not great and

everyone is being left behind, good luck telling voters that's what they're feeling. >> those increases are not due to the local ordinances and pushes for the rise in minimum wage so don't let those democratic candidates fool you by saying that that's the result there are multiple vectors that go into that and when you said the forgotten men and women, the budget bill that the president just passed, that includes a wage increase for veterans and for active duty military members , and up until now, it seems they have been forgotten in a lot of ways so it's a tremendous win. ed: if you go back to last summer all these folks in media were predicting recession saying there's fears, like all these negative terms, that could actually fuel, you know, problems in the economy because people start wondering oh, maybe i don't spend money on this, maybe i pull back, maybe businesses don't invest, but instead just the opposite has happened. pete: well emily said she's not an economist but she's better at economics than paul krugman, who keeps telling us it's all doomsday. ed: last hour we had stephanie g

risham, the white house press secretary said the media is ignoring the president's achievements. watch. >> the fact of the matter is we've got job growth, our economy is booming, the stock market continues to have great highs, the president just has been working on usmca and of course he signed nbaa and the spending legislation that gives veterans more support. border wall funding, we've got descent spending, our very brave military troops a pay raise, a sixth arm of the military with space force, the president continues to work, and we're very very proud of that fact. so the media, the dems they can continue on with this if they don't want to get on board that's okay 2020 is around the corner. ed: she's right there have been a lot of legislated ever victor ies for the president, even amid the impeachment push, and pete is very happy because they involve a lot of government spending which is something you wanted for a long time. pete: ed pointing out the fact that our debt and deficit problem has been a problem for a long time. ed: republicans are concerned about that. pete: right now people are saying i have a choice election

in front of me so i'd like to rebuild my military, and the border wall and i'm willing to spend for it. i don't want to pay illegals to be in this country and if i elect joe biden or elizabeth warren offer bernie sanders, i'm getting a multi-trillion dollar green new deal or medicare for all, that they have zero plans to pay for so if you're worried about the debt and deficit donald trump is not your problem the problem is the american left >> the other thing is allocation it doesn't preclude cutting costs. it's not all about just spending spending more. all of the programs that you just outlined is exactly what does deserve our budget. every american should be looking to the government oversight program to see exactly what we're spending money on because there are plenty of programs that the democrats have advocated for that are getting money like kind of to the tune of being ridiculous. pete: i would like to relower that smoking age though to 18. that's one thing i didn't like. don't take it up to 21. if you can sign up for the military you should be able to buy a pack of cigarettes.

ed: pete mentioned the 2020 democrats have had their issues so many going very far to the left. you have some like klobuchar, biden, maybe bloomberg trying to pull it to the center but when you talk about government spending, certainly there are a lot on left who want to go even further than the president is spending right now and it's interesting on saturday night live which has spent so much time beating up on the president in recent weeks has started realizing that there's some humor in what's going on on the democratic debate stage. here they are last night. >> does anyone want to prove they are presidential by starting a little fight? >> yes, yes. >> mayor pete here held a billionaire fundraiser in a wine cave. >> i'm the only person on this stage who isn't a millionaire or billionaire. i live on my mayor salary plus a $20 week allowance from my parents. >> [laughter] >> we need more candidates of diversity on this stage. >> oh, i couldn't agree more. >> i'm bernie sanders. i'm white. can't help it. >> [laughter] >> i haven't even told a long

rambling story yet. >> maybe we need to have fewer debates i think you're hurting your cause. >> [laughter] >> tulsi gabbard, present. >> [laughter] ed: the moderator saying maybe we should have less debates because that plays into what you said yesterday, pete. you want more debates. keep talking. pete: keep talking. the contrast, i don't need to do it again. you've heard it before. the glaring contrast between what president trump stands for in america first, and frankly, anti-american agenda on the left that put the citizens second after illegals and ignores our sovereignty as a country, the more they talk, they are having to attack eachothers programs. you've seen that, so how you going to pay for that. oh, you have to raise taxes on the middle class. those are all sound bites that will go into nice tidy 20 or 30 second spots on the internet, if facebook and twitter doesn't ban the president by then which i'm sure they would like to do, into the campaign. ed: no doubt people get frustrated when they are banned on social media but there are

other platforms like saturday night live. >> very true. and speaking of which how they, look at how they characterize all of these candidates so notice what they said about bernie it was funny and then they put the lightning bolt to tulsi gabbard and said speaking of hurting the cause, you can tell who are the ones that they are essentially trying to shift the viewers to support and up until last night, frankly, all of their characterization of elizabeth warren has been endear ing too and they were slam ming her for knocking pete buttigieg and here they are just saying he's young so it's interesting to see the underlying meaning behind these jokes and how they portray these candidates. ed: they also took on nancy pelosi, remember they did that last week as well and they were making fun of her saying she was praying, she had church music. pete: [laughter] ed: and sat night live on the left was knocking the idea, last night they took on pelosi over impeachment, watch. >> i brought you two gifts, mr. president. they are the articles of impeachment. >> [laughter] >> oh, great give it to mitch in the senate and everything is

gravy, baby. you know how you get a gift and you like it so much you want to keep it as a gift for yourself? >> you can't do that. >> watch me. good luck at the state of the union. ed: remember that state of the union where she made that gesture like they was large and in charge? many on the left are celebrating that saying this is the year of nancy and axios and other media publications suggested going back to the state of the union straight through impeachment but if you look at maybe how she's blinking on handing the articles over is it really the year of nancy if you get back to what we're saying on the economy. are people voting on the impeachment or pocket books next year? pete: it might be the year of nancy because if she keeps going she's going to lose her house majority and now she won't be the speaker of the house. maybe, you might say that maybe donald trump is making saturday knightlier great again. he's exposed the left so much, there's so much raw material they can't ignore it and the last couple weeks as you said, they've started to put their toe in the water. there's so much what about

nadler? what about schiff? there's so much material on the left. ed: got to give pete credit to find a way to use saturday light five. pete: he's winning there you go. ed: nice. pete: turning to a couple of other headlines that will include a fox news alert a live look at the recovery team is on site after the boeing star liner lands in new mexico. crews now have the hatch open and are now going through the inside of the spacecraft. the re-entry and landing being called a success. boeing had to cut the test flight short after the starliner failed to reach the international space station because of a glitch. and a father is vowing to fight mexican drug cartel. adrian leraron lost her daughter and four grandchildren earlier this year, and he is telling the new york post he wants to form malitias that would work with mexican law enforcement to take down drug cartels. nine family members were shot and killed in the ambush, and six of them children. good luck to him.

when you bundle with us. but how do i know if i'm i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar.

>> so the mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900 a bottle wine. um, think about who comes to that. billionaires and wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. ed: there she is elizabeth warren going after pete buttigieg. a fellow democrat for his high dollar donors and big fundraiser s but it turns out she may not be one to talk. an ap report highlighting her own fundraiser held for donors yes at a winery last year, claiming "they were treated to songs by the grammy winning artist melissa ethridge" and for the top donors those that contributor raise 5,400 a couple , there was a vip photo photo reception and premium seating others who gave a thousand, they got a gift, a souvenir wine bottle let's bring

in a massachusetts resident, howie car, joins us to weigh in good morning, sir. >> good morning. people living in glass wine cave s shouldn't throw stones isn't that right? ed: it writes itself. you've been on elizabeth warren 's case for a very long time back in massachusetts her very first senate race the idea she goes after pete buttigieg over pricey wine fundraiser, you had to know there might be something in her pastas well. >> she has so many skeletons in her closet, ed. something always comes back like this. when she first ran for the senate in 2012 she raised more money than any non-incumbent challenger to ever raise in the history of the country and most of that came from wall street and you know, pete buttigieg on thursday night chose his words very carefully when he came back and said people who can't pass a purity test shouldn't set them up and you know, i was immediately reminded of her attempt to take that dna test

last year. she thought it was going to prove her native american heritage and of course, it proved she didn't have any, but you know this is what happens to her over and over again. i mean look, last week, there was a tough story about mike bloomberg about the women who have sued his company, and for alleged sexual harassment they had to sign, so she comes out and says well he should release them from those mba's so we can find out the full story so immediately, ed, i thought why doesn't she release harvard university and the university of pennsylvania from hiding her employment application, so we could see if she checked the box and this happens over and over again with her. ed: let me just get this statement from her staff this event, the fundraiser, which occurred before the campaign, was held at a large public music venue they say with multiple locations throughout the country , not an exclusive wine cave that most expensive bottle

of wine is $49 as the invite shows the minimum to get in was $100 that did not require a max- outdo nation so to be fair to them yes it wasn't as much as a high dollar deal, but it was still involving wine and her whole case against pete buttigieg fell apart. >> right. you know as you guys were saying earlier, $49 that's a pretty pricey bottle, right there. and another thing, i don't think most people, including myself, care much about how you raise money. you have to go where the money is, which is rich people, but you know she's going to make a big deal of this. pete buttigieg also made the point that she raised big money, when she was running for the senate last year, re-election didn't spend any of the money and then immediately transferred it to her presidential campaign. she's just, again, this isn't going to work for her. that's why she's fading. ed: she's come down in the polls no doubt about it. see you soon.

dots between a massive obstruction intended to hide the truth about the trump campaign. >> he's going to be delivering what i think are his final indictments. >> president trump has already been implicatedded in a crime. >> if the president breaks the law, he should be prosecuted. ed: carl bernstein in that clip was wrong about every aspect of the mueller report isn't it? >> i think it's like 70s duos icons and obviously you had wood ward and bernstein and then simon and garfunkle. guess who bernstein is? he's garfunkle, and by the way you don't want to be garfunkle in the whole simon and garfunkle analogy. look the mueller report was a day of reckoning and those types of terms are thrown out all of the time and now we're seeing results of that that when you say something is going to happen , russia collusion, for two years and then you don't get the paycheck, or the payoff, then when impeachment comes and the media is screaming how much you should pay attention to what happened between the president and ukraine, and all of that,

and then it has no impact and even gets to the point where the presidents poll numbers go up as a result because they don't trust the messenger any more and that was the moment that for independents the people in the middle who said i don't trust anything that's coming out these days. pete: absolutely. >> and now also, history and space exploration under attack. how armstrong' giant leap for mankind helps perpetuate inequality for earth and beyond, that put men on the moon within tense family unfriendly and mostly white and male. you get the picture, joe your thoughts? >> yeah, we said the word " racism" a lot. we heard that a lot on particularly cable news, not this network so much but obviously on cnn and msnbc i wrote a story for the hill july 14 and july 21 the word racist or racism was said 4,100 times break that down by math. that's 600 times a day in live programming that's 33 times an hour, so when you say that word over and over again, it's like

happy, and hold my wife accountable for her speeding through town. >> [laughter] and it's a small town, right just a few thousand people? >> yeah, so the other part is just to brighten somebody's day. i know how stressful the holiday s can be for some people, so it was a good thing for even if it was to impact somebody's day, just a little bit more. something fun. ed: let's bring adam into the conversation. are you finding people are naughty or nice? >> well i'm going to be interested to see what the stats show towards the end of the season and compare them to our data from last year, and see the impact. ed: but are they getting a little nicer as they drive and they see the red or the green? i know i react when i see a cruiser on the side of the road. i always obey the law, just to be clear. >> [laughter] it's definitely eye catching, and that's what we wanted is we wanted a nice, fun, festive

message and we also wanted it to draw people's attention so that they see the sign, they see that they need to slow down or they are doing okay. ed: well gentlemen, we salute you today and every day because of all your hard work. >> quick final question how has the community responded, what's the feedback that you've gotten from everyone that drives through in manchester? >> in manchester we've gotten nothing but positive feedback. people actually will call us and ask when we're going to change the signs again, so it's a very positive message. pete: chris i'll just have to say, sometimes when you're going over the speed limit you're not being naughty though. maybe the milk was supposed to get home a little quicker, maybe it's an emergency. so maybe sometimes the label might not be correct. ed: when was the last time you picked up milk on the way home just curious? pete: adam and chris, thank you for bringing a little cheer to your neck of the woods. >> thank you, merry christmas. pete: and for your hard work. >> merry christmas, thank you. >> thank you for your support.

enna ellis, senior legal advisor to the trump 2020 campaign, democratic political strategist along with gop candidate for u.s. senate in virginia, thank you, all for being here. >> thank you. pete: i'll start with you, i couldn't hold back my laughter. do you believe that when a celebrity endorses a candidate it changes minds? >> absolutely not. i think the celebrity endorsements really did show how desperate the democrat party is right now. i mean, they are a party in shambles and don't know whose actually going to lead them so when you look at our president, president trump is talking directly to americans. he's providing solutions, that's going to actually pave the way for a better opportunity, for americans for future generations to come, and you know democrats are just really looking for their voice right now. pete: looking for their voice is absolutely true, and robert they're looking for their candidate so the difference between 16 and 20 is that all those celebrity endorsements are going to hillary clinton. this time, say i don't know. kevin costner, loved him in field of dreams but when it comes to his candidate he's chosen pete buttigieg.

others are choosing other people just to sway the internal fight over who the nominee is going to be. >> i don't think it sways the internal fight so one democratic campaigns for 20 years and what you find out is that celebrity endorsements are great for fundraising not so much for voter turnout on election day so these videos are fundraising videos to push forward presidential money coming in and democrats do like republicans have done which is cut out the middleman and had celebrity run for office, two of the last four , look, two of the last four republican presidents have been hollywood celebrities, ronald regan the famous movie star, and donald trump that hosted the apprentice so whereas democrats get celebrity endorsements, republicans just elect celebrit ies president. pete: so jenna roberts talking about celebrities and fundraising but even with all of those celebrities the fundraising of democrats far behind the trump campaign. >> oh, absolutely, because donald trump has the biggest endorsement which is the american people, and his approval ratings are sky high right now, and that's really all that matters and so the democrat s are actually the hypocrites here because you have bernie sanders, elizabeth warren who we're talking against

billionaires, and then, they're sitting down with billionaires wanting their endorsement, so what's really the mixed message there? so i think that the hipocracy of democrats is really showing when you have bernie sanders sitting down at a diner, i don't think that's really inspiring and motivational there and we were talking about kevin costner in the green room i couldn't remember his name so it's spark that pete buttigieg whose kind of the b list candidate is getting the b list celebrity endorsement so again, i don't think it's going to help them. pete: the next time we meet in a wine cave we might meet a democratic candidate and a celebrity. that's the upside, all of you thank you very much and merry christmas. all right, well big money is betting big on president trump's economy in 2020, the signs they're watching in the new year we'll bring that to you. plus, you've been sharing our christmas photos all morning long. this one is maria bartiromo. she will be here on the economy, look at that. plus we'll be getting some christmas photo tips, there she

thoughts on all of this please. maria: first of all that whole idea that all of these money managers are now saying the recession is unlikely, just take us back a year ago when everybodies heads were on fire, oh, interest rates are so low, a recession is at hand. it was complete nonsense the economy is growing we continue to see growth, and you no one thing that keeps getting lost in all of this the fact that we have unemployment at a 50 year low and we've got a solid consumer that continues to show economic growth, we had a gdp out which was better-than-expected on friday, up 2.1% but listen to this from the census. with incomes rising for americans, the poverty rate fell to the lowest level since 2001, and what is not being spoken about in his whole economic boom , income inequality is narrowing, it is lessening. this is a major issue from the left for so many years and it's an important issue that the rich kept getting richer and that it wasn't filtering through. it is 100% filtering through.

you're seeing income inequality get smaller and smaller as wages go up and the bottom earners are really seeing their wages go up the most. it's very significant. pete: well you'll talk about this and many other things today on "sunday morning futures" you have a great head lien guest. maria: we do we have breaking news because we'll speak with representative jeff van drew something nobody has ever seen before, a congressman going from the majority to the minority, and he is actually switching from going from democrat to republican, we're going to talk about that plus i've got senator lindsey graham, chairman of the senate judiciary committee with a lot to say about what nancy pelosi is trying to do in the senate, and we'll talk about that plus senator ted cruz also a special guest this morning alex clues ever and then round out the show with kevin mccarthy , gop leader raising enormous amounts of money so has president trump just to show you a little about what this impeachment has done for the republicans. ed: might be a boomerang, maria. >> thank you so much. ed: looking to get the perfect christmas photo? we've got the tips to make those
