>> is the chaotic scene. then we let's look at that radio. you can hang people couldn't even know they were shot. i imagine that some people have some great ones that they didn't even know it. eric: weather here has meant and seemingly mild the past couple of days. temperatures in the 50s. it typically means more people in shooting on the street so they are beefing up their police presence. eric. eric: thirty-four people shot in the city of chicago just as we can print molly. molly: family and friends of tessa majors, said their final goodbyes and funeral service in her hometown of charlottesville, virginia yesterday. eighteen -year-old college student must step to death. an annuity park earlier this month. meanwhile the nypd continues to search for a 14 hope described of his a person of interest in this case. jackie with story.

we ask again to get involved by the community who sang, do you remember the job he did in the middle of the crack cocaine epidemic of the 80s. we need to back and we come back full of course. speak up 13 is in custody with murder and a 14 -year-old questioned and released. police was three middle school scores stabbed her to death what began with a robbery. molly: to want the latest on capitol hill after white house staying congressional, but their stomach house speaker nancy pelosi for delaying sending those in part shall articles. the color decision meritless. in congress home for the holidays, timeline likely not take shape. until after the new year. live in florida, near the president's holiday home. >> good afternoon eric.

as president trump begins two weeks here in florida, democrats and republicans are arguing over the potential impeachment trial in the senate will look like. house speaker nancy pelosi is pulling the and and not transmitting them to the senate. that's delaying trial there. president trump is treating, praising as he wants to dictate terms of the impeachment hoax, the republican majority senate. deploy all due process. no lawyers or witnesses on the democratic house. they just wish it would all end. the cases are dead. white house officials and the speaker will back down. eric: chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell, will proceed in the senate. eric: >> she will yield. there's no way she can hold this position. to have the senate because they want a fair process in the senate. when the animals witnesses, not

just a quick dismissal of the charges. >> schumer and mcconnell try to work together to make sure is fair. witnesses will not with the president would not allow them to testify. the people would like to get that testimony from. to introduce a fair trial. he will move. >> it was some bipartisanship to close at the air an agreement between democrats and republicans on the free trade agreement with mexico and canada. a couple of bills, government spending bills, and of course the president accepting an invitation from house speaker nancy pelosi to deliver the state of the union address and thyroid fourth. eric: on his way to see what he says. when he walks into the room. and that will be something. molly. molly: boeing starling our capital back on earth only filled mission to reach the international space

station. they save craft which lunch on friday, landed in white sands new mexico. and this morning, after going into the wrong orbit. coleman has west coast newsroom has the latest. >> hi molly, this had its challenges with the boeing nest team see overall this was a good mission. this orbital flight test, was cut short because of a major timing problem. it resulted in the capital ending up in the wrong orbit. for boeing starling or, international space station has planned. however, he did have a successful touchdown today. nasa is relying on boeing and civics to design and build save craft and design astronauts in space station. nasa has invested in more than $6 million into those two companies the commercial program. even though this flight was cut short, nasa says crews will able to get a lot of critical information on this mission. and that will help strengthen nasa's commercial program and

americans safe like capability. nasa calls that an historic man leaving today. a big success. >> we brought the spacecraft home. for the first time landing a capsule on land in the united states. we have not and that as a nation before. we note on it. we have pinpointed landed. which is quite frankly, amazing how that was accomplished. we met three - two - one. and left off. the rise of starlight. molly: the starling or take off from cape canaveral on friday was supposed to be the beginning of a space trip. lasted more than a week. in it today. boeing is trying to figure out what caused the starling or internal problem barely half hour into this fight. the capsule burned so much feel that there wasn't enough of it to make it to the international space station and there wasn't 11 hour difference between the

spacecraft cooperating in the actual time. and as a still place to support future starling or missions. the capsule will be refurbished for boeing news first operational group mission following flight test but it's unclear, at this.when all of this will take place. molly. molly: fascinating science it's interesting to see the collaborative efforts underway. and personally this one didn't work out so well. he's much. soon i. eric: back on earth, dictator is at it again. top military advisers after that so-called, christmas the price for us. so should the white house was on with this policy or what will they do to deal with kim jong-il. we'll talk about that next.

spotlight. and a drumroll, please. yeah! tonight is a magical night. where anything is possible. it's party time. woo! here we go. ha, ha. now for the icing on the cake! come, we're about to begin.

eric: career is staying he is bolstering his defense capabilities dealing with his top military officials. this comes after the regime promised that christmas gift, for america, kenny is more from washington. >> this meeting is the latest indication of north korea's going frustration of the lack of sanctions released by the u.s. according to the state run korean central news agency, kim young presided over a community of military, taking up the bolstering of the armed forces required for the fast unit situation and crucial time of the developing korean loophole in. it is specified when the meeting took place and an elaborate on what steps can't undertake some north korean experts see that they weep may be preparing to test launch a missile. white house is expecting to be an main to some sort of watch over the christmas holiday.

he recently told our own time robbers, the north appears to be going back to its old playbook. try to get president trump news attention threatening actions. if that happens, and intense launch, the officials in the u.s. will likely respond by going to the human and possibly enacting additional stages of it. that is the exact opposite of what the north is been demanding and fell apart this year and kim said the december 31st of the deadline sanctions or face consequences. for the last few months, conducted a series of short range missile and rocket testing. two earlier this month as well. >> would-be disappointed, something would-be in the works. and if it is, we will take care of it but we are watching it very closely. >> u.s. officials are expecting a number of developments before the end of the year deadline. a larger meeting with the central committee within the next week or so to discuss crucial issues.

eric. eric: molly. molly: joining me now, director and professor of international relations at carnegie. she is also the former senior advisor to the secretary of state in 2016, from campaign foreign policy advisor. i so much for joining us. it appears that the u.s. and north korea is in a bed of a standstill. there's sort of offering this recognition spirit heading into the end of the year. women calling for the u.s. to take action. specifically thinking to be lifted. that's not going to happen by the end of the year. so what can we expect from north korea. >> hopefully there won't be a christmas surprise or a christmas gift as the north koreans are calling it. but this is what executive sanctions look like. their main to be painful. the main to be directed. in the north korea later, i think his understanding of the united states and the president

trump means business. we know that the chinese and the russians kinda based on sanctions after the initial sunday single work, 2018. and that they want to now for the u.s. to reverse a lot of the sanctions that the united nations has hosted on u.s. direction. however, they are working. and so i believe, that as long as president trump and his team, stay cool, calm, and directed as a deal with north koreans and focus on diplomacy. bringing our regional partners along with us, focusing on the japanese, and fast south koreans, and nano specific strategies that the president has put in place, there will be really little wiggle room for this north korean by the end of the year. >> i think you brought it up, they got over and met with the

koreans assuring that those relationships with our allies remain steady. they talked about the importance to remain calm. it seems to beat with the democrat news are urging as we can remember, firing back and forth in 2017 a lot of name calling, that was a rocket man era of the day. the democrats essentially sent a letter to the president. on north korea writing this. it would-be a severe miscalculation to believe that a presumption of fire at their attempts in nuclear coercion against north korea, killing to a better result in the negotiation table. know when you are talking about calm, how exactly should the u.s. respond. >> i've read goleta. i read it very carefully. they're basically restating these ten. in the past two years. talk about a commitment to the regional partnership and invigorated them. and working with our allies and making sure that we hold the north koreans to the fire on

doing what we want them to do in terms of anchoring the community estate. the nuclear policy. so i think that working more with congress as they appear to agree with the president, is the great idea. congress was also very clear on the north korea stances in the nda the president so i think a more cohesive united states, there's more activity in diplomacy and the indo specific region from the administration. i think continuing all of this, will make it a lot more difficult for joan backed up by the chinese and the russians. to take any action against us in the days ahead. molly: will see if there's any action. of any kind. potential christmas surprises you mentioned. i think you so much of your insights today. thank you. eric: is the president ready gears up

for his reelection campaign. the political aspect. resume with voters 11 minutes from now. in detroit prosecutors are expected to have some new developments in the jimmy hoffa case in the new year. what could they be. and could they suspect finally be clear. for exclusive investigation of what happened to jimmy hoffa, never to go to fox nation and sign up for our streaming service to watch two episodes that are on there. the specials middle with a search for james r, and more coming after january and he can only see the rhino on fox nation. >> dealer jimmy hoffa is buried. >> absolutely am the only one who knows.

not only did we win the election we had an electric college landslide. [applause]. and when all else fails they pursuant an illegal con constitutional hyper artisan impeachment. because the impeachment think. generations of patriots before us, did not work fine and sacrifice so that we could surrender our country to arranging left-wing law. that's what they're doing. all they want to punish america, we will fight to preserve american. eric: as president trump of course, addressing a crowd in florida. could be a preview of the 2020 campaign messaging. and looks to turn the issues of

the strong economy, judges and even impeachment, and that the current democratic proposals into a rallying cry for his supporters and donors. another strategy seems to be working. come campaign digital director, gary policing raising $10 million in just 48 hours after the impeachment vote. twenty quote, you will support president trump and the people want four more years. the presence critics of democratic rivals or will likely, certainly disagree. john is here calling this for national review. john, do you think impeachment is bolstering the democratic position wears a boomerang ink on them. i could end up actually helping the president. >> democrats will look at the polls must be confused. because of you and republicans will privately tell you, the president committed serious errors in the lake up to the ukraine matter. but the president is definitely changing the subject. from what he might've done two of the democrats are doing.

which is at the tent president visit, they may see the going after me, they really want to go through me and go after you. in other words, take away your retirement savings. take away the economic gains in the 3.5 percent of unemployment rate and take with the stacked cuts. the president is changing the subject. he's a master that. democrats, some of them will born sensible and a little chagrined that they didn't expect this boomerang coming around and pointing at them now. eric: is going to reignite. >> well, obviously by the time we get into the spring impeachment will be resolved one way or the other. and it's not going to be a major issue in the fall. however, the enthusiasm that this is hooked up, the president supporters more often discouraged and he sent out a series of his art is art tweets and discouraging this revs them up. see something we do get $10 million in small donation. that represents real grassroots

enthusiasm where is the dividing site, if complete confusion. and no clear front rotor in the one who is really ignited the party in terms of enthusiasm. soil the affect has brought going to be traumatic, think right now i see is the plus for president trump. eric: last night, man look at this crowd. eventually something is attacking the house speaker and talking about impeachment and just listen to this crowd here it is. >> crazy nancy, she is crazy. no. so now she says you know, she has no case. she is no case so let's not submit it. this could write. but you know what, so it's so unfair. she is no case to the bed. if that the constitution, they are violating the constitution. [applause]. . [screaming]. [applause]. eric: we will hear that in the next 11 months into november.

>> i think speaker pelosi will have to send over the articles of impatient regardless of what final deal in the rules of the trial the senate will be. but this goes, this once again gives the president something to running his. he was the democratic leadership they're all for massachusetts, new york, california, and the president can really assist as being the demo that a party establishment. congressmen for far less scream states. remember, the president in california, new york and measure tissues, he is speaking in error every valley that you show, to pennsylvania, to michigan, to his wisconsin, eq states, is going to be reelected. eric: that will be the focus of this campaign. in the hillary clinton, was have so heavily criticized and not focusing on some of the states. >> will democrats made focus resources and money into the states. they're not going to make the same best day twice but they have to worry that the reason they're having to do that is

because they're digging themselves in a whole. once again showing that it is washington versus much of the rest of the country in the quote rate lead. be one holiday time, john is going to be it's going to be one heck of a year coming up. molly. molly: now a reality after president trump signed a trillion dollars spending deal on credit card is the first new race in the military over 70 years. and more. >> good afternoon molly. it officially became the sixgun to the armed services on friday. the poll is still being developed. four-star general is the first chief of space operations for space wars. he is now in charge of executing the for submission and handling his expansion of the next several years. the president says the space horses not only historic but vital as officials here in china and russia continued to pose a threat to american satellites and base can technology.

>> i'm a great pet threats national security. americans at superiority is absolutely vital. we are leading but we are not leading by enough. but very shortly will be needing my lot. >> the state forces expected to employ only about 200 people that number is expected to grow demeaning on the worst-case course will be headquartered, speculation will be either in huntsville, alabama or colorado springs colorado and x percent operational become essential in the communities. >> i going to be moving more and more importance into the space demand. more missions for our space satellites up there. and save better protect them and design new satellites. hide or jam the attackers. move down the way of the threat. >> in next few weeks the pentagon plans to unveil a timeline and have the space course will be implement. speak up thank you and more. we'll be right back.

>> suite of lawsuits are piling up against big corporations as consumers pursue massive settlements over household products linked to cancer. run a weedkiller and johnson & johnson baby powder urges among some of the rents that have lost billion-dollar judgments incorporated in the nonprofit group, the american council on science and health, his warning that attorneys are using scare tactics and bogus flames in the name of consumer activism. federal prosecutors recently charge one virginia lawyer was involved in a round of settlement with trying to extort a can i call company for $200 million. the council reacted to the case writing quote one partner in this unholy alliance activists. falsely claim the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the products we use

are all secretly killing us. their partner is the illegal industry which relies on activists scaremongering to win verdicts. so, is it correct or do consumers have the right to take the case to quote. thus bringing our legal panel, talk about this. richard st. paul news defense attorney and member of the republican lawyers association. greenberg is the criminal defense operational white-collar and civil rights attorney. thank you for being here gentlemen. before the holidays really kick off the season gets going. this is the fascinating topic. a lot of ground to cover. i guess the big question is how far is is it too far and who is going to bark. richard. >> there's two questions there. first, consumers have the absolute right to the party if they believe that party caused an injury. bottom live. the question is, when is going is it too far. what is actual extortion and that is we do are actually telling someone the right to withhold information or give

information that if they don't pay you. this going beyond the live. the lawyer should toys do is lay out the legal position in the facts of the case, and x for a demand in order to settle the litigation. not turn in somebody's reputation. it is beyond what will be civil into it criminal round. >> sometimes the food being the water we drink, it is killing us. in massive settlements are sometimes warranted. there is a huge settlement in virginia a few years ago when water was affected. when people drinking water was affected. honey make that distinction. and ensure people are hurt fairly in quote. stephen. >> we make the distinction to bring a lawsuit incorporated that there is marriage married to the lawsuit then you are going to be successful and there is no merit, then there is enough loophole, the trial quote can always throw it out. the quote can burnout. you have to think that these large corporations can certainly afford to hire the best experts they can get.

but these cases are necessary because as you said, things happen. look at the juul cigarettes now. i what's going on in the past where all of a sudden we find out that the products we used for years if not decades, dangerous the corporation new. someone has to be the check and balance on that. >> mr. in many instances in the course of american history. here's another think the american council of science and health on how far legal activision ago. maybe it will be a class action lawsuit against coca-cola for obesity or facebook or apple news iphone will be blamed for causing car accidents. due to the distracted driving. those the company has sufficiently large bank accounts, anything is possible. richard going back to you on this bull judges have a lot of the hands to determine what has merit in what has no merit. to them and the spots make those

calls. >> absolutely. more so it is injury. these large companies are concerned about jurors that are not that sophisticated nor are sophisticated enough to understand the medical and scientific information going back and forth. the overwhelming majority of juries are made up of many different people of all different walks of live with different educational levels. but the big companies bought our specialized duration of this information. so that they can be cannot be duped by some scrupulous plaintiffs expert. i think this with the concern here is. at the end of the day, these checks and balances have to be in place. big corporate america decides that they are going to make money rather than be concerned about people news health. at the same time, judges do have the availability or preparations to have the ability to go to different judges until it all the way up to the supreme court. in order to overturn damages. >> stephen you know is the criminal defense attorney there can be a lot of legal wrangling

going on. but decide that it's best to make a deal with the government. is that the case that companies sometimes find themselves in. perhaps they truly believe that they don't deserve to have a settlement but they might make one anyway if there threatened with a lawsuit. and you handle that balance. >> look litigation has caused. if you think back decades ago, the pent-up litigation more fun more company mayday decision that was better to have an effective car in the cost of people dying and la those lawsuits then curing the defect to finally it was so financially painful when people found out the ford new. cigarette companies someone had the same kind of logic applied to that. there's a certain loophole of practicality. i remember when mcdonald's was sued because the coffee was is it too hot. some lady murder some of the

coffee. i wanted a huge judgment she wanted. will that eventually got thrown out because people said look, you buy hot coffee, you know it's hot coffee. there is a practical loophole that ultimately works its way into these cases at some loophole. the big problem - statement by being will running out of time. thank you also much i enjoyed the instances. develop along this way. thank you both so much. >> c1 is the potential crisis going in afghanistan. after a very close presidential election. coming up, will tell you how the results of that election may affect our peace talks with the taliban. it smacks them

. >> reporting now syrian missiles have been fired from israel. struck targets inside of syria. reports of the explosions. the capital city of damascus. just before midnight there. in the past israel has stored in warehouses near the damascus airport. images that can be used against the jewish community. millie news bureau in jurupa, the very latest on this. >> eric good afternoon, this is

breaking as we speak. syrian is reporting airstrikes how some of the capital of the damascus. also airstrikes in the city of ethic e4, military bases linked to iran as you mentioned, many of the targets that are taken place over the past year against both the iranians and injurious inside of syria. have been attributed to israel and right now is really is or not commenting on this event. defense forces who see they do not, on foreign immediate reports. earlier this month i did ask the prime minister, benjamin nyholm about strikes, he doesn't comment on these types of events that are past the euros is really pretty if you cease around certain times in the timeline of this larger aggression in the region there. looking to try to cut off some of these supply lines of missiles that could be used against israel. i know reports coming in from syrian state media and the airstrikes outside of damascus and also news outside of the city. eric. one sound like they are going

after ron. images. meanwhile afghanistan, it seems that he is appearing to one reelection by a slim margin. >> what you have. >> that is exactly right, any president, does appear to have won a victory from a september election. a very close election according to the preliminary results and is the main opponent, is refusing to accept these results. these two do work currently in a unity government despite being the political rivals this past year. independent election commissions the more than 1.8 million people voted in september election sprint out of a registered 9.7 million voters. this is sunday that he does not accept these results. an issue according to the opposition candidates, and the commission is lacking facility to missing any modified. uphill battle on key issues facing the afghan people, the

taliban controls over half of the afghanistan lodgings daily attacks in the region and the comp administration has continued in a senior american led war against the group and is currently working to camera a piece that withheld event and if refuse to negotiate with the afghan government and couple so will be a difficult situation but which ever candidate does ultimately claim victory in the end. eric: those peace talks in jurupa tonight. and we will be right back for them create your own ultimate feast

is back at red lobster. with new creations to choose from; like rich, butter-poached maine lobster and crispy crab-stuffed shrimp rangoon. how will you pick just 4 of 10? it won't be easy. better hurry in. >> the sun has begun to set on the east coast kicking off the start of hanukkah. the lighting taking place in washington right now. the jewish holiday celebrates the army of rebels who revolted against israel's king and reclaimed the second temple in jerusalem. they found only enough oil to light the menorah for a single day, but it burned for eight.

a lot of things are part of the celebration. from everyone here at fox news channel of course, happy hanukkah. eric: have a great week, a great christmas week too. we will see you next weekend. get ready for santa. . greg: >> bill linton said to hilary cricket hillary, do you think he calls her crooked hillary? maybe he just calls her cricket. [laughter] greg: i bet she calls bill cricket two. [laughter] all right a writer writes stop it. so the biggest story in history is one we already saw coming. and it was one we knew the ending to. and we knew also that it would implode. but if you watch the news, you would think differently. i'm in could this be
