interest was a release saturday. house impeachment managers claim president trump's conduct is the framer's worst nightmare. the evidence overwhelmingly establish he is guilty. seven democrats argue that president trump used his official powers to pressure ukraine to interfere in the u.s. election for his personal political gain and trytried to cover it up by obstructing congress's investigation. president trump's legal team fired back in the first formal response to the articles of impeachment saturday, attacking the substance and process of the democrats case saying this is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn results of the 2016 legislation and interfere with the 2020 election, now just months away. the articles of impeachment are constitutionally invalid on their face. they will file a rebuttal from the president's legal team on tuesday. the same day the they are expected to fight over the framework of the impeachment trial. as for the rest of the week,

house expected to make the case on wednesday and thursday. the president's defense takes the floor friday and saturday. pete: garrett, thank you very much. sounds like both sides get rebuttals. house managers submitted a 111-page document. i tried. i was able to read the president's legal team initial salvo. seven pages so that is more digestible for someone like me. rebuttals coming on both sides but the argument, so predictable. the president's defense simple. look at call. look what happened. look what the evidence actually is and adam schiff and the like get complicated. rachel: kind of ironic, right. one of the things they're saying democrats who are trying to interfere with the 20 to election which is kind of funny. that is what they're accusing president of. when you have an election so close around the corner really, you wonder why they want to -- pete: anything is. jason: one of the frustrations the democrats don't play with

the facts. if you go back and look, the argument nancy pelosi makes within the last week is just factually not true. here is nancy pelosi in her own words. >> using appropriated funds enacted in a bipartisan way by this congress, funds that were meant to help the ukraines fight the russians, president considered that his private atm machine i guess and said he could say to the president, he could make, do me a favor, do me a favor, do you paint houses too? what is this, do me a favor? so we have a situation that is very sad. jason: very sad. that is not what the president said. to say it was me is factual inaccuracy. rachel: i said us. jason: he said us. does so in the context of the united states of america. that is exactly what president

supposed to be doing. pete: you know she knows better. enough people said it, clarified, he said do us a favor, he said the context is talking about the country yet they repeat lies. me a favor. me a favor. me a favor. none of it is true. also if you read the letter from seven angry democrats who will be representing the house, the senate must use that remedy to safeguard the 2020 election. eliminate the threat, eliminate the threat, that the president poses. this has been about eliminating the threat to democrats since day one. rachel: absolutely. not the only hypocrisy. democrats like chuck schumer of 20 years of videotape for us to go back and look at. here is what senator schumer said from a letter during the clinton impeachment back in 1999. pete: he has been around a long time. rachel: he says it has shaken me that we stand at the brink of removing a president not because of a popular groundswell to

remove him, not because of magnitude wrongs he committed but because conditions in late 20th century america made it possible for a small group of people who hate bill clinton, or insert donald trump, hate his policies to very clearly and very doggedly exploit the institutions of freedom that we hold dear, almost succeed in undoing him. so that is the quote, very, ironic. jason. jason: yesterday we played clips dianne feinstein essentially saying the same thing. these are the same people, take the same arguments today, saying this is detrimental to the president. they shouldn't do it. the other thing really bothering me, look at where the democrats started with their allegations. look where they are today? originally they said it was going to be about all these things are not even part of their core argument. rachel: right. jason: in fact kellyanne conway, coins lore to the president, she calls the articles of

impeachment thin and weak. >> this is procedurally deficient and flawed and constitutionally you know sported. go back a few months. we were promised bribery extortion, quid pro quo, high crimes and misdemeanors, there is nothing here even approaches that. those words are not in the actual articles of impeachment. if you look at just two articles of impeachment, basically write them on your hand, put a little post-in note, index card. they're very thin. for all the promises, for all the haymakers out there screaming their heads off on this, what the senate will have to focus on two articles much impeachment the house came up with very little. pete: we could talk about this forever. feels feels like a reality show that never ends. it is same stuff, same stuff you've been watching the house. jason: they totally changed their argument.

kellyanne made a great argument. rachel: that is great what the legal team is doing. they're turning them on them. this is attack on american people. this is not about donald trump. if you voted in 2016 election you should be outraged this small cabal of people want to overturn an election. pete: little news item. jason: there will be enough republican votes to make sure the first part goes on without talking about witnesses. that will move on to the second part. we'll cover it all week long. we have bigger news. rachel: everybody is talking about. nobody really cares about the impeachment. kind of yawning. talking about the great british break up. famous british shows, the great british bake-off. pete: that is what that was? i didn't get it. rachel: that is the pun on that. her majesty the queen, announced they have a deal now to handle "megxit," that is what they're calling it. basically the "new york post," the great, i'm sorry "the sunday

times" says they're out. the it is payback time. the sussex, let me explain what is going to happen. pete: those are the headlines. rachel: let me tell you what the deal actually is. they no longer formally represent the queen. they can no longer use the title his and her royal highness. pete: what will they do? rachel: what will they do? jason: how will i address them. rachel: that's a great question because you can no longer say prince harry but you can call him harry, duke of sussex. they will be allowed to continue the charity work. pete: good for them. i'm sure it won't be left-wing. rachel: they have to pay back $3 million for the renovation for frog moore cottage. pete: what do you call your cottage?

avoid the prolongedded disclosures and would minimize the appearance of the department concealing the information that was embarrassing to the fbi. we have form u.s. attorney for southern district of new york, andy mccarthy. thanks for joining us. when you saw this, what was your reaction? >> good morning, jason. rosenstein es and the justice department explanation is it reasonable. this is not a privacy act violation. they're making argument why legally the case ought to be thrown out. he had perfectly good reasons to do it. he is quite right, that this would have stopped the drip, drip, drip against the department that would otherwise have happened t was inevitable that this information was going to become public. the investigation was important. there were going to be congressional hearings. what i don't get though, is, when the justice department does

something we should do it proudly. we're complying with the law and here it is. i don't know were they gave this out not initially telling the reporters where it came from. i don't know why they sat so long on the fact that rosenstein made the call. he was the deputy attorney general. it would be perfectly understandable that he was the one to make the call. why conceal that under a veil of secrecy. i don't get that. jason: you're absolutely right. he did have the authority to do it. remember the genesis of this, was the inspector general who asked the fbi to produce these documents. they were under subpoena from the united states congress. they wouldn't cough them up. the inspector general had to go to the pentagon to get an algorithm written in order to get, to extract this information. so perhaps they were embarrassed by this, yeah, why didn't they cough it up and say, we take responsibility for it? i'm rod rosenstein, here are the messages? >> yeah. jason, i think you make a great

point because the circumstances unwhich the inspector general got these texts after the justice department and fbi said that these devices had been destroyed and they weren't able to access anything, in that context, if these damaging text messages came out, it would have looked even worse that the justice department was not only withholding the information back, but tried to destroy really embarrassing information. again it is perfectly understandable and reasonable why then deputy attorney general rosenstein would do that. i just don't understand why they didn't fess up right from the start that, it was rosenstein making decision. the justice department supplying the information. jason: it is an interesting case. real quickly i want to get your take. you got a foxnews.com op-ed up. it is called on trump impeachment. consider these fantasy thoughts experiences. tell us the thesis what you're sheaing on foxnews.com.

florida voted to for a constitutionalment to allow certain felons to have their voting rights restored if they complete all terms of their sentence. rachel: so what do you say to those people, i have to say i'm kind of one of them. i think it is a little bit harsh. so you served your time. kind of hard when you get out of jail to have the money right away, takes a while to get on your feet financially. what do you say to people that this is unfair? they served their time. let them vote. they will find time to pay back whatever they owe the courts or restitution? >> sure. well, it is a constitutional amendment. and the words mean something. the supreme court merely said that the voters of florida in voting for this amendment said said includes all terms of senate. includes restitution. restitution includes a monetary payment to the victim of the crime. so while some may see it as harsh, it's what the voters voted on. if that is not what, not what

they would have supported they wouldn't have voted for it. rachel: i want to read you quick a statement from league of women voters of florida. the u.s. constitution prohibits make the right to vote continuingment of obligations that people cannot afford. the league of women voters of florida will continue to urge the state legislature to use this power to fix it. one of the other complaint people have, it unfairly or disproportionately affects minorities. some say this is being used by the republicans to suppress the vote much. >> yeah. i wholeheartedly reject that notion. as an attorney i worked for more than 20 years in the area of civil rights restoration. so once again we're looking at what is the language that the florida voters voted upon? over 60%. so i know there is federal court challenge claiming that this is some sort of a poll tax. that will work its way through the federal courts but the florida supreme court clearly and stated that when ballot

language says all terms of sentence, that that is exactly what that means. including all of your financial obligations. i would point out when the proponents argued for this language to be put on the ballot and before the florida supreme court three separate times were asked, does this language mean include the financial obligations? all three times they answered that question in the affirmative. so some have said, i would join this, this is bait and switch. they said one thing to the florida supreme court to get the amendment on the ballot. they are now saying something else. >> very interesting. thanks for clarifying that, representative byrd. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you so much. good to be with you. rachel: a former teacher of the year taking a knee at the national anthem while president trump at the national football game. she is not sorry. joey jones lost his legs defending our freedom. he has a powerful message for the kneeler.

anthem. we've got the flag of the united states of america. we're not supposed to be red, blue, whatever else. we're the unites of america. how do these people miss that point? >> you know what is most concerning to me, i can probably surmise that she wouldn't be all for prayer coming back to school but see the first amendment doesn't give you the freedom of one thing and exempt you from the other. so when we talk about freedom of religion and ability to go among those kids and pray for a safe day should be just as, just as passionate kneeling for the national anthem, showing your protest. the one thing that bothers me the inconsistency and overall hypocrisy of many educators to go be for one part of the first amendment, against the other. to kneel when the first amendment you're kneeling against. doesn't make any sense to me. hopefully we straighten this out. pete: rachel, we invited kelly on the show. she initially said yes.

presidential electors are required, required to cast their ballot for the candidate who won their state's popular vote. currently 29 states and washington, d.c., require electors to vote for their state's popular vote winner. joining us now with insight, electoral college expert tara ross. thank you so much for joining us this morning. thanks for being here. if you would, break down the case for us. where did this come from? has this been a big problem in the past? >> it has not been a big problem in the past. the reason we're talking about it right now is because of 2016. and everybody may remember that there was quite a bit of furor over some of the electors, how they decided to change their mind at the last minute and vote for somebody else. there were two particular instances in washington and colorado where several electors did not vote in the accordance with the popular vote. this is couple years ago. everybody paying attention but the cases have been winding

their way through the courts. the washington court decided that the elector must vote as the popular vote came out. 10th circuit decided the colorado case decided that, no, the electors, they can vote independently if they want to. pete: got it. this is not a challenge of the elector college system. >> no. pete: looking how the electors vote. you mentioned there were seven faithless electors casting votes in 2016. interesting in washington, colorado, those were clinton electors who voted for colin powell. i remember the push from the left after election day to try to encourage electors to not vote faithfully for president trump. so this is something that happened on both sides? >> well in the 2016 election there were two trump electors that decided to change their vote. but most of the electors that were either did ultimately cast faithful votes or threatened to were clinton electors. the reason they did that, they were trying to encourage trump electors to come over to the middle ground and agree on a compromise.

so, they tried. it didn't work. pete: all anti-trump in its rationale ultimately it became something else. so, elections can be close n our history, we've had a number of close electoral out comes. we think of 2000, george w. bush won by five electoral votes. again 35 votes? 2004. jimmy carter 57. president trump a much wider margin. there was never a challenge to the actual out come in 2016. but if you look book at 2000, if you have enough faithless electors that become as real problem. how do most, some statesman date it. what are other guidance other states provide to their electors? >> a lot of states don't really provide guidance to the electors. the elector might take a pledge to a political party, something like that. pete: who picks the electors. in states where it is loose, is it candidate themself? state parties? who is it? >> different in every state. it is usually or typically the

state party. they often do it at the state convention. and, one thing at that is really important to know about the electors this is has not been a problem typically because of the way they are chosen. these are party loyalists. these are people want to do what they have been asked to do. that is why even though there were all of these clinton electors in 2016 wanted to get some trump discontent among his electors, it did not succeed. the same thing in 2000. those electors, those bush electors, some were getting death threats and stuff. they did not change. not a single bush elector in that year changed. the system is stable. it has worked for centuries. and in fact, in the whole course of our electoral college system there have been more than 20,000 electoral votes. fewer than two dozen of these have been faithless. pete: interesting to see how the supreme court come oust. thanks for being on the program.

constitutionally invalid, that's the headline president trump's legal team is blasting. rachel: that's right. the attorneys slamming the house democrats' case as the managers argue for the president's removal. pete: our own garrett tenney live in our nation's capital as both sides prepare for the upcoming trial. >> reporter: good morning. from a musical controversy to a political one m these filings that we just saw, got yesterday, are the opening salvos of the impeachment trial. the house impeachment managers laid out their opening arguments in an 11 is 1-page briefing arguing president trump used his powers to pressure ukraine for his personal political gain and then tried to cover it up by obstructing congress' investigation. the democrats wrote: president trump's conduct is the framers' worst nightmare. the evidence overwhelmingly establishes that he is guilty. president trump's legal team fired back by attacking both the substance and process of the democrats' case saying: this is a brazen and unlawful attempt to

overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election now just months away. the articles of the impeachment are constitutional invalid on their face. this is all just a small preview of what we expect to see this next week in terms of the schedule, the senate is expected to vote on the framework of the trial on tuesday. the house is expected to make its case on wednesday and thursday, and the president's defense will take the floor friday and saturday. pete: garrett, you can't weigh in -- you can't talk about our commentary and not weigh in on whether britney is, indeed, fantastic. >> reporter: indeed she is, no question about it. [laughter] pete: garrett tenney, he's a reporter -- [laughter] >> reporter: just the facts. pete: the fact is britney spears is fantastic. jason: i'm appealing the rule of the chair. yes, i can. but listen, this comes to a head on tuesday. arguments had to be laid forward by the democrats, they have now done that. but the republicans, the

president's team gets to put their articles, their article forward. i believe the deadline is on monday, and then tuesday the it starts in earnest. pete: yeah. they start to respond to each other, and the democrats' document,111 pages long. whereas the president's initial defense, which is 7 pages long, is clear and straightforward. there's nothing here. here's what happened, here's what didn't happen and here's why, ultimately, this is an attempt to to undo the 2016 election. it's very straight forward. rachel: again, this is a preview of what they're going to deliver on monday. basically, they're saying this is a dangerous attack on the american people. so it goes beyond what they're doing to donald trump. this is about you out there and the election they're trying to overturn, and i think that's a really interesting way to argue this. i do think out there in the public there are a lot of people who may or may not love donald trump who say this has been a

years-long effort to undo 2016, and we have everything from the things we covered yesterday about maxine waters and al green and representative talib. all these people expressing very early on that their goal from the very beginning -- jason: no, they've always said that. now congressman mark meadows of north carolina has helped lead the charge in saying these charges really should be dismissed. >> the narrative continues to change when nancy pelosi, you know, maybe she was waiting for all those impeachments to arrive on special order. if she was serious about calling witnesses, then why didn't she subpoena the very witnesses she's talking about bringing forth in the senate? it's going to go to the senate, and it should be dismissed. main way that you make sure this does not become a circus is to have that not only at the beginning of this trial, but throughout the process. because i think our senators are going to find that there's not a case here.

pete: such a great point. they were in such a russia they couldn't wait that long, but once they did it, they had to wait. jason: well, their argument has consistently changed. if there's one thing consistent from the democrat, they have a new argument every week. they don't have anything on the president. we know this is going to fail, but it's going to hijack the country starting on tuesday. rachel: i love mark meadows saying she waited just because she was ordering the pens, the prayerful pens. pete: you never know. we're going to have pam bondi at 8:30. rachel: want to stick around. pete: we'll ask her questions about how this week will unfold. now we're going to turn to baltimore where there's video of a mob attacking a baltimore police sergeant that is now creating tension between the police union there that represents the cops -- there's the video -- and the city after the union is rightfully condemning this attack. you have an officer attempting to make an arrest dealing with this situation, then you have mobs of other people around them

swearing at and effectively attacking the officer as well. so the fraternal order of police, the union there, put out a statement because videos like this demonstrate a blatant lack of disrespect and lawlessness for law enforcement in a city like baltimore which has had an incredibly bad run of murder rates and crime. this is what the president of the police union had to say about this video. we're disgusted by what is shown, however, this is an all too familiar scenario for our members, meaning the police. it's indicative of a broken city that has been led by people who have absolutely no real crime plan or, it seems, even knowledge on how to formulate one. baltimore's been the center of police controversy for quite some time now. it appears much has changed. rachel: i just saw the video for the first time, and i'm sure, as our viewers are, i'm appalled. i can't believe this is america. jason: no. the men and women who put their

lives on the line, to have to put up with that garbage and not be supported by their city leaders? that's what's so disgusting about this. pete: absolutely. rachel: here's a statement from the state attorney: i'm disgusted, i am also disappointmentedded by the fraternal order of police's continued rhetoric fanning the very flames they then call on me to put out. jason: political rhetoric, are you kidding me? pete: you may recognize marilyn moseby, she was in the media quite a bit in 2015. remember ferguson, freddie gray, the police van? ultimately, participant of why the -- part of why the police don't trust her, there she is right there, he rushed to announce the charges against those police officers in the case of freddie gray. the police officers later on ultimately cleared, but she went to the court of public opinion, went right at the police when not all the information was had. and if you're a police officer in a dangerous city trying to do the right thing, you just want

to know that your leaders will give you the benefit of the doubt, let the facts come out. if you're guilty, you're guilty. if you're not, you're not. but when you rush out, talk about political, that's what she did. and when police officers don't feel supported, there's nothing political about that statement. it's a dangerous city. rachel: right. and if you're a citizen of this community, you're going, hey, the police officers aren't going to feel happy about going in there and protecting in an environment like that, so so this is bad for everybody all the way around. president people in the most dangerous neighborhoods -- rachel: the most vulnerable get less protection. pete: now, there's a new back and forth, it was bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, now bernie's taking everybody on because joe biden and bernie sanders are trading jabs over social security as biden accuses the sanders campaign of thering a video to attack him -- doctoring a video to attack him. here is a flashback video owe from 2018. a member of sanders' campaign

put it out. this is joe biden. >> paul ryan was correct when he did the tax cold. what's the first thing he decided we had to go after? social security and medicare. now, we need to do something about social security and medicare. that's the only way you can find room to pay for it. rachel: all right. so now let's look at this video which is joe biden yesterday saying, hey, this is doctored. >> it is simply a lie, that video that's going around. and ask anybody in the press. it's a flat lie. they've acknowledged that. this is a doctored tape, and i think it's beneath, and i'm looking for his campaign to come forward and disown it. they haven't done it yet. jason: all right. the sanders' campaign manager says joe biden should be honest with voters and stop trying to doctor his own public records of consistently and repeatedly

trying to cut social security. the facts are are very clear. biden not only pushed to cut social security, he's on tape proudly bragging about it on multiple occasions. the fact remains that if you don't tackle this part of the budget, then you're not going to actually solve the problem. i don't know that this is a doctored video, i think joe biden was actually saying something that a lot of fiscally responsible people would perhaps agree with. but now he doesn't like it because he's in a fight with left, socialist people. and i just, this is, again, where you get to authenticity and owning up to your record and what you said, and joe biden doesn't have the backbone -- rachel: had he just owned that, maybe he could have won over some independents, maybe even a few, you know, republicans who might be dissatisfied with donald trump. but you're right, there's this aoc pull to the left, so now he's got to do this ridiculous thing of saying -- jason: because --

rachel: who doctors social security videos? jason: if you want to fix medicaid, medicare, social security, it does not mean you're going to cut off seniors at the knees. pete: yeah. the most boring job in america -- [laughter] is doctoring videos about social security. not how you make a living. yeah, joe biden changes positionings. we all know that. all right, we've got a couple of additional headlines this morning as well. remains of a fallen army paratrooper returned to american soil. ian mcloughlin was honored in a ceremony at fort bragg in north carolina. loughlin was killed by an ied while conducting combat operations last week. medals he earned include the bronze star and the purple heart. he leaves behind a wife and four children. i sigh before you read that line to think about that. god bless him and his family. the u.s. navy plans to name its newest aircraft carrier

after a world war ii hero. doris miller was the first african-american to receive the navy cross for valor. he received the honor for manage a machine gun on the uss west virginia during the japanese attack on pearl harbor. the honolulu star reported the aircraft carrier will officially be named in a ceremony tomorrow. and the grammys is now on leave after sending a shocking memo to h.r., deborah due began alleges misconduct including sketchy voting practices and conflicts of interest. this comes days after she was accused of bullying by an assistance. duggan took control of the grammys in august, the awards show is next sunday. those your headlines. jason: i'm fascinated by this story because i think at the end of the day we're going to find out she's actually the hero, she's the whistleblower, and they're trying to silence her. watch for more. coming up, democrats made a lot of promises when it came to their impeachment case against

the prime minister. >> the devastating testimony crop rated evidence of bribery -- >> you can call this extortion. >> yes, there was definitely a quid pro quo. jason: so what happened to that? former congressman darrell issa has a message for democrats. that's coming up next. good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

♪ muck. >> the devastating testimony corroborated evidence of bribery. >> it goes right to the heart of the issue of bribery. >> you can call this ec torsion, you can call it bribery, it's all the same thing. >> there might even be bribery. >> yes, there was definitely a quid pro quo. jason: democrats pushed a lot of charges against the president in

their case for impeachment, but as his legal team points out, not one of these made it to the actual articles of impeachment. so what does that say about their case? here to weigh in, former chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee, darrell issa of california. i had the honor and privilege of serving with congressman issa, so i've got to call him chairman. chairman, there was this quid pro quo, there was bribery, there's all kinds of allegations, but none of that actually made it to the actual report. >> well, chairman chaffetz, as we both know, when you're doing investigations, you follow actions, and you refer based on actions. in this case they have no actions that violated anything, so they're going to this hidden intent. and this is where we saw adam schiff, pencil neck as the president calls him, coming up with some hypothetical thoughts

in the president's mind. but the reality is the president's actions were completely legal. as a matter of fact, one of the things that these senators are going to all have to have in the back of their minds is that a 55-day hold to check something out, as you know, is something that many, many, if not all senators periodically ask the administration to do. as a matter of fact, senator menendez of new jersey routinely puts holds on things over at the state department, and he'll be sitting there saying, well, how dare they put a hold on when, in fact, he insists on holds when he wants to check something. jason: well, and the thing is that the president actually released the money before it was due. so what is the best case for the president? what is the argument that these people need to make on the floor of the senate for the president? >> well, the president has a win/win situation. he can have the simple win that this case is without merit.

he might, and it appears as though he's not choosing it, but some have said he would choose to get further vindication by showing the wrongdoing by hunter biden and vice president biden. but quite frankly, it looks like his team is taking the let's get back to work approach which i think is a win/win for the american people. this is without merit. the president did nothing wrong. let's get back to work. jason: quickly, should there be witnesses called in this case? >> i don't believe there's any witnesses necessary to show that there is no case. and at the end of the day, we know that the democrats, as long as they remain in the majority in the house, are going to bring another set of impeachment articles at some point. so we might as well dispense with this one and let them get back to making something else up. jason: yeah. they're going to make their cases, they'll have a vote, and i don't think there'll necessarily be witnesses needed. chairman, congressman issa, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, jason. jason: thank you. a powerful tribute to a

goal for us, you know, is just to know that, for brett to know that she, like, isn't alone. even though her father isn't here, there are other, you know, so many other people here for her. jason: chief, tell us the effect on the department itself and how these firefighters have rallied behind this family. >> well, the swansea fire department has always been very big in the family, no matter if we're not related by blood, but, you know, alex and brock and brett grace are an extended family of ours. brett was loved by everybody on fire department. just the outpouring support will be unconditional, and it'll last for a very long time. pete: alex, i can't imagine the range of emotions that a beautiful newborn daughter but your husband not there. what does it mean to have a

receive taxpayer money and will even pay back millions for their frogmore home. jason: amy kellogg as the latest. >> reporter: the commentators are spinning this as the hard brexit, sorry, the hardest megxit imaginable. they are losing a whole lot of privileges, and the royal family is actually losing a couple that has been said to sprinkle stardust everywhere they go. but they are getting their independence and that is, obviously, something that was of the utmost importance for them. the queen put out a very warm message last night saying that harry, meghan and their son archie would always be much-loved members of her family, and she said also she was proud of meghan for how quickly she fit into the family. however, they will no longer use their hrh or his and hers royal highness titlings. they've still got them, they just can't use them. sort of on ice, perhaps, for the

future. harry will lose his quite distinguished military time, something he inherited from his grandfather. of course, he had done time in afghanistan and fought very hard to be allowed to do so, insisting he wanted to be with his soldiers in the trenches. so this may be, in fact, quite difficult for him. meantime, they're paying back the $3 million that was used to refurbish their frogmore home, and however it is being speculated this morning, and we don't know this, that prince charles may continue to fund them on a private n if a private capacity. back to you guys. pete: amy kellogg, thank you very much for the insight. let's go back to london, bring in nigel farage. he's usually talking to us about brexit, this morning he's bringing us megxit. so is it really, it seems, it appears it's easier to leave the royal family than it is to reeve the european union -- leave the european union. what do you make of the queen's stance here?

>> yeah. well, there are many commentators this morning suggesting if only the queen had been in charge of the brexit negotiations -- [laughter] we'd have sorted this out years ago. [laughter] it's really interesting. is so so this time last week we were dealing with a statement that had come from harry and meghan basically saying they would spend half their time on the west coast, you know, partly in canada, partly in the usa and half their time in the u.k., and they would try to have it both ways. they would try it, on the other hand, to say we're going to make lots of money out in los angeles, but we're also going to keep our royal titles. and the british public did not like the idea of them trying to have it both ways. you cannot privatize or commercialize the monarchy. and the queen has been -- she may be 93 years old, but she's been absolutely decisive. and she said to them, look, if you want to go, you go. but you are no longer going to

call himself his and her -- yourself his and her royal highness. and for harry this raises big questions because not only is he leaving behind his family to go and live pretty much permanently on the west coast, but he's also leaving his second family. and harry, you know, princess diana tragically killed when he was 12 years old, he's always found that difficult to grasp with, and he then joined the army. he spent ten years in the army, he did two active tours of afghanistan. he now holds some very prestigious military times including lieutenant general of the royal marines. and harry's leaving two families behind. and i, i do worry for his future, i must say. rachel: nigel, how much of this, you know, very hard break that the queen ultimately came to with them has to do with the fact that there was, i mean, surprisingly videotape of him and meghan sort of pitching themselves to the ceo of disney trying to get voiceover work?

there was, once you saw that video, there was no question about what was going on. >> look, if you're in the royal family, you're in what's called the firm, all right? and you live in a nice house, you pend much of your life -- spend much of your life in royal palaces and elsewhere. you've got full security, full transport, cars, helicopters, you name it. and in return for all of that, and in return for being royal and his or her royal highness, you have to carry out engagements. those may be cutting the ribbon on the new wing of a hospital, it may be getting involved in charity of some kind. you cannot, you cannot live that life and tout yourself for voiceovers for disney. and that is what harry and meghan did. and i think when the public saw that, sympathy for them -- i mean, look, on a personal level we all want them to be happy. but you cannot commercialize the

royalty. the queen saw what huge damage that could do. she has acted decisively, and we are very, i must say, very, very lucky to have this queen. she is a quite amazing woman. jason: a very, very quick surprise, you know, cutting are ribbons and going to charities, really heavy lifting there. are you -- on this side of the pond i think we're a little surprised they're giving all this up. what's it like actually in england? >> it's not the first time, is it? of course, king edward viii in 1936 gave it all up, abdicated his monarch because there was a woman he wanted to marry, and this is a sort of modern day abdication. harry may not be king, but he is giving up a tremendous amount. meghan markle is the big winner out of this. she is now 100 times more famous than she was of after she'd done the tv drama "suits," and she can now go off and make a lot of money. it's harry that i worry about. pete: great point. nigel, thank you very much. rachel: all right.

we're going to turn now to your headlines. police arresting a -- [inaudible] four people and injuring another in utah. officers say three kids died in that shooting. authorities believe the victims were related to each other but don't know what led up to the shooting. the texas department -- [inaudible] then-deputy attorney rod rosenstein authorized the release of texts from fbi lovers peter strzok and lisa page. rosenstein arguing he didn't want the bureau to appear to be concealing information. strzok and page now suing the federal government for making their anti-trump text messages public. former assistant attorney ann -- andrew mccarthy. >> these damaging text messages came out, it would have looked even worse that the justice department not only was holding this information back, but had tried to destroy really embarrassing information. rachel: all texts were sent on government phones, one thread

[laughter] pete: we just had some popcorn because it's national popcorn day, so enjoy it with us. at the beginning of the trump presidency, we saw multiple caravan, tens of thousands of people from and central america as well as mexico making their way through that country to our southern border in the hopes they could jump the line across the border. we're getting new images from just yesterday at the guatemala/mexico border. remember, contrast these images where the mexican military, the

marines there are blocking migrants and refugees from trying to cross. contrast that with images of just one or two or three years ago when the bridges were wide open and, frankly, the military was helping escort these caravans up to our southern border. big contrast between now and then. it appears mexico taking a very different stance. rachel: we were told that you couldn't stop these caravans. first we were told there were no caravan, then when we sent griff down to follow them, then we were told it can't be stopped. and we never would have thought donald trump could get this left government to stop them at their border. jason: no, and i love seeing these images because mexico's defending itself. it's protecting the integrity of its own border. in fact, a mexican marine told the associated press, we have been tasked being individual hasn't, and if we see a large group on the other side, we will deploy a human wall on this side

to contain them. hats off, mexico! i gotta tell you, this is a victory for donald trump, for his ability to negotiate this and work with the diplomats to make this happen. behind the scenes i will tell you very quietly that senator mike lee of utah has multiple times go to mexico to meet with the mexican president and others to help encourage them to stand up for their border and their integrity. i've got to tell you, this is good news because you can't just go as a gateway through mexico to get to the united states. rachel: i think the question here is if this, like the economy, is going to be covered by the other media. because this is really, you know, a lot of people said the wall won't work, the enforcement won't work, mexico won't cooperate. and here we see video footage that i think should be seen on all the networks. jason: a human wall, i love it. pete: yeah. plus the remain in mexico policy, plus build the wall. the president's been laser

jason now has had two so.gs rachel: what's up with that? jason: and none for rachel. rachel: none. none. pete: i don't know. sounds like bias. rachel: but i think it was a good choice because there's a lot going on with the british royalty this sunday, and so we're going to be talking about that a little later. pete: have you ever been to a beatles concert? jason: no. my parents did. they said they went to the concert and it was so loud with all the yelling and screaming they actually could not hear any of the music. i think it was the cow palace in san francisco but they actually still have the tickets where they went. pete: very cool. all right. stick with us 'cause we got two big hours including starting with this. constitutionally invalid. that's what the president's legal team is saying, blasting the articles of impeachm.nt rachel: the attorneys slamming the house democrats' case as the managers argue for the president president's remo.al jason: garrett tenney is live in our nation's capital as both sides prepare for this week's trial. what's the latest?

>> we're getting a clear picture of what the opening arguments will be tuesday when the trial gets underway. the seven house impeachment managers laid out their case in a 111-page briefing saturday arguing that president trump used his official powers to pressure ukraine to interfere in for his personal political gain and tried to cover it up by obstructing the investigation. the democrats wrote in part " "president trump's conduct is the framers' worst nightmare. the evidence overwhelming establishes that he is guilty." president trump's legal team fired back by attacking both the substance and process of the democrats' case, saying, "that is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election now just months away." the articles of impeachment are constitutionally invalid on their face." this is just a small preview of what we expect to see this next week. in terms of the schedule, on tuesday the senate is expected to vote on the framework of the trial before the house makes its

case wednesday and thursday and the president's defense takes the floor friday and saturday. rachel, pete, jason? pete: garrett, thank you very much. appreciate it. you read that -- i'll save you some time. don't read the 111-page articles by the house democrats, angry democrats. just read these seven words: " "eliminate the threat that the president poses." that's literally a quote from the report. that's the reason why they need to impeach and he needs to be removed. he he's a threat, why? rachel: because he was elected. and if you look at the preview of the president's case which they put out this weekend and what we're going to see here on monday, we see that alan dershowitz says basically we have to not let this happen because if we do we're going to set a precedent that you can basically have a one-party vendetta against a president and undo the 2016 election, saying this isn't really just about donald trump. this is not attack on the voters

in 2016. jason? jason: dershowitz is absolutely right. the democrats have changed their argument every single step of the way. they have always said it was going to be this and it was that and there was this. but now what really bothers me is here we are less than a week before the senate will convene, nancy pelosi goes to the floor of the house of representatives to make the case against the president. watch what she says, because it's just not true. >> and using appropriated funds and acted in a bipartisan way by this congress, funds that were meant to help the ukraine fight the russians. president considered that his private atm machine, i guess, and said he could say to the president he could make "do me a favor." "do me a favor"? do you paint houses, too? what is this, "do me a favor"? so we have a situation that is very sad. pete: you don't remember "do me

a favor." pete: that is not what the president said. she is totally making that up. this point has been made time and time again by the democrats. it's wholly inaccurate. i want to actually show you and read to you what donald trump actually said, what the transcript says. it says "i would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country" -- not donald trump -- "our country has been through a lot and ukraine knows a lot about it. i would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with ukraine." that's what he said. he said "us." in the same context, in the same sentence as saying "the united states." for nancy pelosi to say that the president is using this as a personal piggy bank, an atm machine is so totally wrong, it's disingenuous, it is a lie, and that's the whole predicate of their argument against the president. rachel: and the president is trying to say, hey, this is about the 2016 election, what happened there. and there are people, some people say it's a conspiracy theory. but the president wants to follow up on this, and he says

if there's evidence that something in ukraine had to do with it, i'm going to go right to the top and ask him. pete: jason, you've been a committee chairman. i'm sure you've been seeing this before, but have you ever been a chairman and misread the actual -- made up your own phone call version of it as adam schiff did did? i mean, they've been making things up from the beginning. jason: if you go back to the very first hearing that adam schiff is chairing he goes through and he does not read the script in the transcript. he makes it up, and again it was a lie from the very beginning. it is totally, totally wrong. rachel: you had an interview with darrell issa, chairman of house oversight committee with the president's team taking the "let's get back to work" approach. here's darrell issa has to say. jason: a wynn situation. he can have the simple win that this case is without merit. some have said he would choose to get further vindication by showing the wrongdoing by hunter biden and vice president biden

but, quite frankly, it looks like his team is taking the " "let's get back to work" approach which i think is a wynn for the american people. know that the democrats as long as they remain in the majority in the house are going to bring another set of impeachment articles at some point. so we might as well dependence with this one, let them get back to making something else up. the president did nothing wrong. let's get back to the people's work. pete: and he has been doing the people's work in the meantime, with stuff -- jason: with china and mexico and canada. yeah. pete: but the thing is, this impeachment thing, i get reaction -- is it over yet? has the senate trial happened yet? we know how it's going to end, just end it. so we're going to go to a story that we don't know how it's going to end and we really don't don't. it may not be as much consequence, but it has captured the minds of brits, some americans, and certainly rachel campos-duffy. rachel: that's right. if you look at the splashed -- listen, i love this story may more than impeachment. if you look at the headlines, it's just everywhere, they're

calling it the great british break-off, of course a pun on the great british bake-off which is a very popular show in england. so there's the headlines. so the deal is there's the queen -- we had nigel farage on earlier -- basically saying this is a big deal and that he kind of wishes that the queen had been in charge of brexit instead of megxit because she really took some decisive action here. pete: correct me if i'm wrong. harry and meghan said they wanted a different arrangement, they had a family meeting. the queen has now come out of that and said basically you can do your own thing, you got to pay back the money for the renovations on your mansion, and you don't get to keep your titles anymore. rachel: the cottage. pete: the cottage, yes. the queen put it better than i did. here's a statement from the queen based on the deal that they've made. they call it a hard megxit like the hard brexit. the queen says i recognize the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last few years and support their wish for a more independent quite a bit. i want to thank them for all

their dedicated work across the country and am particularly proud of how meghan has so quickly become one of the family family. it is my whole family's hope that today's agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life." jason, is that an honest statement? jason: i love the queen. she's a historical figure, and the role that she played in history is magnificent. how quickly meghan became part of the family, i don't know that i'm buying that statement because now they're exiting. i still think there's some big questions. who's going to pay for their security? i mean, okay, they could make decisions about title, but these people are going to have a huge -- are going to be a huge security concern. canada's concerned about it because they don't want to pick up the taxpayer dollars. and if they're going to abandon the royal family why should the people of great britain have to pay for this? i still think there's -- what are they going to do to make this money? if not exploit their previous titles, how do they think they're going to make all these millions of dollars? rachel: they obviously are going to exploit their titles. i mean, look.

she was an actress on "suits." now if you saw the video from her and harry basically pitching themselves to do voice-over work for disney films, that's big money. so maybe they could pay for their own security. pete: to me the question is not about security. it's how quickly did they become lock, stock, and barrel activists. you made this point, i'm going to steal it -- this is actually rachel's point. i steal a lot of her points. you came in with the beatles, you played the beatles, you love the beatles. who broke up the beatles? yoko ono broke up the beatles. who broke up the royals? meghan markle. you think the queen is happy that she showed up on the scene, poisoned the mind of harry, who's a war hero, by the way. rachel: had to give up his military career. pete: military titles, a lot of which he had, lieutenant general when you're a royal you can become that.

i'm still a major 37 it's amazing, you look at this -- play it forward six months, 12 months, 18 months, now you're in los angeles voicing over disney movies, and harry's there going, "i used live in a palace with my brothers over there." it's not clear -- i wish him the best. rachel: maybe he's saying i'm in sunny l.a. and they're over there in that dreary britain weather and cutting ribbons out of hospitals. here's what nigel farage says. he says that meghan is the winner in all of this. >> on a personal level, we all want them to be happy. but you cannot commercialize in 2013. the queen saw what huge damage that could do. she has acted decisively, and we are very, i must say, very, very lucky to have this queen. meghan mark he will is the big winner out of this. she is now a hundred times more famous than she was after she's done the tv drama "suits" and she can now go off and make a lot of money. it's harry that i worry about. pete: i think meghan is a poison

pill. i think it's a disas.er rachel: listen. i was talking about this in the makeup room, and i'm telling you a lot of women go good for harry to standing up for that woman. he must love her. he gave up the monarchy, gave up his military titles, gave up his prince titles. it's interesting. let's see what you have to say. we'll get to the conversator. pete: it's true we did fight a war so we wouldn't have to talk about the royals anymore. but now with the internet we get their information in real time. we've got more headlines. apparently there's other stuff going on in the world and we'll bring it to you starting with extreme weather. bitter cold temperatures blasting the nation as a dangerous winter storm moves northeast. >> oh! oh! oh! pete: i did a version of that yesterday. in new jersey slick roads causing cars to slam into each other. i made a turn, spun almost all

intimidation. that was a good move. as soon as he sees the animal, he turns and hides in the shed. no word on how long he hid in the shed, but the moose eventually wandered off having fully intimidated the human being. rachel: great footage. >> he heard he called his wife but she didn't answer the phone. she was in the house. rachel: well, it's a tale of two marches. yesterday marked the fourth women's march since president trump took office. but attendance dropped off from as well 5.3 million nationwide in 2017 to just 547,000 in 2.19 jason: this year reports show only hundreds showed up at a rally in new york and only 10,000 were expected at a rally in washington, d.c. meanwhile, an important contrast contrast. the march for life appears to have grown since 2017 with estimates from 50,000 people in 2017 to as many as 300,000 in

2019. joining us now to discuss is fox news contributor independent women's voice president and fox nation host tammy bruce. good morning. >> good morning. pete: break this down for us. what do you make of these numbers one going down and one going straight up? >> the american people care about issues. agree or the judiciary on the issues, is we care about the issues, we come together to re reshape our society, to defend the country. and for the march for life these are individuals who believe in something, they've come together for it, they have not come together based on lies or manipulation or being gas lit. and the opposite is the case for the women's march. last year in d.c. i think the number was a hundred thousand. this year they got about -- they were expecting 10,000. that is, what, a 90% drop-off. the newspapers and other media are like going out of their way to try to explain, "oh, it was cold and rain" -- it's always in january in winter, it's always going to be cold. last year's weather was similar, if not even worse. or, you know, it's protest

fatigue. no, the real answer is that they were lied to, and the president has been successful. we were told there was going to be a stock market crash. we were told there was going to be another recession. we were told trump is going to start world war iii. all of that was false. we were also told he was going to ruin women's lives. what we've got is 600,000 women out of poverty, two million people off of food stamps since trump took office. for the first time most hires of prime working age are people of color, primarily women. women across the board, all economic statuses have succeeded under this president and the american women know this and they appreciate it. rachel: tammy, we contrast this with the march for life. i covered both marches, by the way, for fox news last year; so i was at the women's march and the march for life. i would say more people at the march for life but also significantly much younger, optimistic crowd in the march for life than i saw in the women's march which, frankly,

looked very angry and a little menopausic. >> well, this also speaks to the issue of why we come out, why we vote. we vote for things, not against them. rachel: right. >> we are inspired by, looking forward to positive elements in the future, not -- we're not inspired by hate. all right. the women's march was never about women's issue. it was never about improving women's issues. it remains about hating trump, removing a duly elected president, condemning someone, being victims. and, look. things happen to women. we've got to improve the quality of our lives all the time. but we vote for people who want to improve those things. we don't inspire people to come out biased-of-based on h.te jason: often what wins an election, though, is enthusiasm. and there's an enthusiasm gap between what's going on on the left and the right. >> there is. and, you know, people say of course that's the get out the vote issue. who is going to come out? who is enthusiastic? the number of people that showed up for the women's march yesterday is less than the over overflow crowds for donald trump

at his various rallies. and this is where you can see it not just in the raising of money but in the who's coming out, why they're coming out. donald trump inspires people because of a positive point of view but also because of success and because of the things he's doing actually improve people's lives. barack obama was successful also getting people on food stamps. barack obama was successful of having people have two jobs delivering pizza. success is different with the president; right? it's real career jobs. it's manufacturing. it's the nature of things that you -- and wages are rising. and again women who maybe didn't ever think they'd even go into the workforce, it's such a paradise now, you can actually consider going in and doing it and even changing jobs. pete: you're so right about the environment. you go to one of the president's rallies, it's joyful, it's happ. >> that's right. pete: people are celebrating, diverse across -- >> that's right. pete: thank you very much. >> thank you. pete: appreciate it. we've heard it all, democrats

promising everything from quid pro quo to bribery to try and tarnish the president. >> the devastating testimony corroborated evidence of briber. >> you can call this extortion. >> yes. there was definitely a quid pro quo . rachel: so what happened to that that? pam bondi is a member of the president trump impeachment team and she's with us next to respond. ♪ it's time to sell or trade in your car. with truecar, just enter your license plate and see your car's value in real time. sports package and low mileage? nice. within minutes, you'll have a true cash offer, and you can head to a dealership and get paid, today, right now.

we've all the watched the evolution of a case against a duly elected president, yet none of it made it ultimately to what these managers are saying that the president is guilty of. how do you -- sort of an honest question. i mean, how do you keep a straight face arguing against people that are totally two-faced in every argument they make to you? >> that is a great question. and, you know, the way you do keep a straight face is you think ahead and you think about the tremendous damage that they are trying to do not only to our constitution, to our president, but to all future presidents. it's really unreal, and it's so far-fetched. basically what you said, what they're doing to president trump trump. all these they've been saying, we all know they've been trying to impeach him before he was sworn into office. and, you know, he's a clear and present danger they say to the country yet they hang onto these articles of impeachment. nancy pelosi was impeaching him before the articles were even sent over, then she gets

ceremonial pens, basically making a mockery like it's a joyous occasion when she's signing the articles of impeachment against our president who did absolutely nothing wrong, and they failed to allege any crime whatsoever, and that's what the american people need to remember and need to understand. jason: so the house democrats in their latest filing, they're now urging the senate to, quote, eliminate the threat of president trump. the house managers released their briefing, and said " "president trump's conduct is the framers' worst nightmare. the evidence overwhelmingly establishes that he is guilty. the senate must use that remedy now to safeguard the 2020 u.s. election, protect our constitutional forms of government, and eliminate the threat that the president poses to america's national security." >> yeah. the national security part was by far the most offensive. national security? look at what our president has done to protect our country every day, taking out soleimani,

everything he's doing. look at the trade deal he just did with china. you know, he's working tirelessly for us while they're saying these really absurd things that could not only damage him, but damage the country for centuries to come. yeah. it's, yeah, a threat to national security is just such an insult to the american people's intelligence because they know all the great things president trump has done. jason: i just want to follow up on a quick part of that. it was donald trump that gave ukrainian lethal aid. >> exactly. jason: it was barack obama that gave, you know, blankets and pillows to ukraine. so it's so wrong. >> yeah, javelin missiles, more aid than ever to ukraine because now they are an honest country with president zelensky and they're doing the right things, they got a new parliament, they got a new prosecutor general, and they're showing us that they can be a fair country. rachel: pam, we know that the democrats want witnesses to be called in this trial. if they were to get that, we

know that hunter and joe biden might be called. but is it possible that you might actually call one of the managers, the democrat managers, adam schiff? >> well, first of all, i don't think it's going to -- i hope it doesn't -- we don't know. you know, it's up to the u.s. senate. if we get to witnesses we're going to of course start the trial tuesday, there will be opening arguments that will probably go, you know, through the weekend. we don't know the structure completely yet because that's up to the u.s. senate to decide the hours and the time frame which will start at 1 p.m. every day. yes. could it go to witnesses? if it does, we are fully prepared. and, yeah, you think adam schiff hasn't made himself a witness by starting off -- i think you talked about it earlier, i think jason it -- talking about his opening statement, talking about the phone call with president trump and president zelensky where he lied about what was in the phone call. that was ridiculous. then we find out when he says he has no contact with the whistleblower that his office was completely coordinating with

the whistleblower. so that's how this sham got started and that's how it's continued but right now i think all of us, the american people, president trump are ready to put this behind us. pete: you are correct. pam bondi, you're going to be a busy woman. thank you for taking this moment with us on a sunday morning 37 we appreciate it. rachel: turning now to your headlines. some terrifying moments caught on camera. video showing shoppers running for their lives following a shooting at a mall in atlanta.

canada and left of course, allowing harry face alone and deal with a very forceful lady, her majesty, the queen. rachel: we have an excerpt from the queen's statement. "we recognize the challenges they have faced over the intense scrutiny over the years and support their wish for a more independent life and i'm particularly proud of how meghan has so quickly become one of the family." so my question to you is, we all know that this is, you know, unusual, that someone would advocate in this fashion. why was it -- 'cause us americans don't always understand this. why is it that that was in some way a threat to the monarchy in the sense that, you know, he was the spare heir anyway. >> good question, rachel. the story is basically this, you know, you're either in or you're out by the simple fact that you can't trade on the british royal family's name on commercial ventures. now, you know, we saw the video last week of harry touting the work on behalf of meghan at the disney premier, and if you look

back from years ago lots and lots of members of the romney phyla have all tried to make money independently including the queen's son edward when he started a television production company within the very well, is and so what you've got to do now because we're in a different time, if you like, the british taxpayer does not want somebody who really can't go and shake hands in maybe a small town in the north of england and only just come over for major premiers to raise their profiles profiles. let me tell you something. i think her majesty the queen is an amazing lady because what he's done is literally take away the power that they needed, if you like, and there's a very telling phrase in that little document because she says "which will be reviewed in a year." let me tell you something else. that will be reviewed on a weekly basis to see what they're up to. as i said, if meghan thinks she's escaped the power of the british royal family she's sadly mistaken and so does prince harry. he knows what goes on behind closed doors as it were. pete: it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. only time will tell.

is kind of like the old man of the group. i was actually just talking to sean james in the green room, he played for the vikes, aaron rodgers is this established guy, and everyone else in this championship game is new to this, sort of rookies. in any event, i think the 49ers are going to win. it's going to be a foregone conclusion, in my opinion. but the real game's going to be the titans versus the chiefs. i mean, that is going to be a street fight. pete: it is. the titans have been surprising this entire playoffs, and patrick mahomes, how do you guard this guy? rachel: and we have the super bowl on fox, by the way. pete: "fox & friends" will be at the super bowl. don't miss it. now, let's talk about the super bowl -- this is a bad analogy, because it's not the super bowl of politics. [laughter] election day, it turns occupant the people who lost that election day want to replay the super bowl in a different way

than try to take out the guy who won. so yesterday what we got was an 111-page document from those seven angry democrats charged with prosecuting the case against the president in the senate. here's a small portion of what those house managers said. they said the constitution provides a remedy when the president commits such serious abuses of his office. impeachment and removal. the senate must use that remedy now to safeguard the 2020 u.s. election, protect our constitutional form of government and he eliminate the threat, eliminate the threat that the president poses to america's national security. chris, i might go to you first, because we've been talking about it all morning. what do you take away from that? >> so this, to me, is all about the court of public opinion, right? you've got the democrats that are dug in. they say the evidence overwhelmingly suggests he should be removed from office, and you've got the republicans who the strategy from president trump's legal team is just to discredit it on its face. right now it's all about that

public opinion vote. and if you look at what's happening, there's a lot of big data out there that's suggesting independents are moving in the direction of being against impeachment. so it's a great political strategy for trump's legal team to be hard-nosed against it. but to me, this is all about public opinion. jason: no, and the reason that the democrats are doing this is because they don't have a case to make, right? they don't have facts on their side. i think this is probably one of the most revealing things that they've said that we just highlighted. this is about 2020. this is about removing a president because he's a potential threat. he's a threat. that's what makes me -- i mean, remember "the washington post" headline that comes out on january 20th, the president is just sworn in. hours later they say, they state the impeachment proceedings have already begun because nancy pelosi and crew started working on this. this is what they always dreamed about, but they don't have a case. >> totally. rachel: so let's look really quickly at some of the hypocrisy

we've seen. senator schumer, he's within in congress or in the inspect a long time -- senate a long time. here's what he said during the president clinton impeachment. he said it has shaken me not because of a popular groundswell to remove him and not because of the magnitude of the wrongs he's committed, but conditions in late 20th century america has made it possible for a small group of people who hate bill clinton and his policies to cleverly and doggedly exploit the institutions of freedom that we hold dear and almost succeed in undoing him. what i find interesting too in addition to that is what you said about removing the president, but they kind of know it's probably not going to happen, and that's why nancy pelosi's been saying this stain is forever. they know they can't take him out, their last hope is just to stain him with impeachment and hope that somehow that sullies him out enough so that they can possibly win. but with this economy, i don't know if it's going to work. >> well, everyone knows how this dance is going to end, but we still have to dance, right?

rachel: yeah. >> and that's what is so unique about this situation. and i think everyone on the prime minister's side certainly playing -- president's side is certainly plague their cards right. pete: it might be like the macarena. it was cool when it first came out, but the 19th time, i'm so sick of the mack ray that. [laughter] jason: i'm going to try it again. i think what's also going to be fascinating is that first week of february when the president gets to go in front of the house for the state of the union. that will be a dramatic moment because the president gets the microphone to himself for a good hour and a half -- rachel: i hadn't thought about that, but that is very interesting. pete: it was suggested, i think karl rove is where i saw it first saying you should hold off on the state of the union until these proceedings are done. are you really going to speak in front of the very body that's about to impeach him? maybe he will. that's where i'm like, okay, play the macarena one more time. [laughter] this is an amazing show, but you wish it was actually solemn, you

wish nancy pelosi was being honest. you know she's lightening through her teeth. jason: andy mccarthy was on earlier, and he makes the case that if pelosi had a real case, she wouldn't have dragged her feet. but listen to andy mccarthy. >> i've been groping, as we all have, for over a year with, you know, how do you best explain what we're dealing with here in this impeachment case. and i think probably the best way to understand it is how much differently would everyone be acting, including nancy pelosi, for example, dragging her feet for months to bring the articles of impeachment to the senate if we had actual impeachable offenses. i think if you actually had offenses that were so egregious that the president should be removed from office, wild horses wouldn't have been able to stop her from getting those over to the senate. pete: that's true. they didn't, yeah, none of it looked all that somber and ultimately, seven house democrats now get to play

senators for a couple of days. rachel: a few days. pete: yeah. all right, we've been covering this story, and because the reality of life in baltimore has been something, unfortunately, we've had to cover. they had a record number of murders last year. well, there's in video yesterday of police under attack in baltimore. a mob attacking a baltimore police sergeant as he's trying to make an arrest. people around him swearing at him, surrounding this police officer, and now there's the a feud going back and forth between the police union chief and the state's attorney, marilyn moseby. ultimately, the police union is saying we're out there trying to do our job. this is video of a police officer being kicked, being yelled at while he tries to make an arrest. here's what the police union has to say about it, sergeant mike mancuso is the president of that union: we're disgusted by the video, however, this is an all too familiar scene to our members. it is indicative of a broken

city that is being led by people who have absolutely no realtime crime plan or, it seems, even knowledge of how to formulate one. i mean, i think for people who see images like that, it's jarring that that's a reality. >> it's completely disgusting, and we saw it here in new york city, remember? throwing water on police officers left and right and almost as if the city officials really didn't do much about it. and now you're seeing it escalating into violence. the city of baltimore is averaging almost a single murder every day. you combine that with the population decline in the city, and things are just out of control. they've got to get it under wraps. and everything that i'm reading and everything that i'm, obviously, not a police expert, but i hear about community policing, creating those relationships in the community. there's got to be an emphasis on that especially in baltimore. jason: you put your leaf on the

line -- life on the line and then to have the city not stand behind you, this is a statement from the state's attorney, marilyn moseby. i am disgusted by the blatant assault against the police officer in the video. i'm also disappointed by the fraternal order of police's continued inappropriate political rhetoric fanning the very flames they then call on me to put out. she's saying that what the fraternal order of police are doing is just political rhetoric. pete: marilyn, let me help you with your statement. what you should say is i will not stop until we find every single person on that tape who kicked the police, and they will be charged with assault, and we will throw the book at them -- >> amen. pete: i mean, it's not hard. ray iowa that video, when i see that video, it makes me think this police officer's in some foreign hostile country, you know? >> yeah. rachel: this doesn't even look like america. we don't treat our police officers like this. it's absolutely are, it's mind-blowing. jason: look at the people in charge, oh, it's just political rhetoric. are you kidding?

what's this guy supposed to say? >> he needs a medal. kudos to him for how he kept control of himself and didn't let go of the suspect. rachel: that's absolutely right. >> these men and women are unbelievable. pete: urinally there's a -- usually, there's a partner. i wonder what happened. of course, marilyn moseby of ferguson, the whole freddie gray thing, she rushed to put the charges against the officers who were ultimately acquitted, so she's got a long history of contention. will you stick around with us for the how were? >> absolutely. pete: we begin with a fox news alert. a hunt for a gunman in tennessee. five people were shot inside a bar in memphis overnight. one of them has died. prison have not -- police have not said if they have a suspect or or a motive. hong kong protests end in violent clashes overnight, police using tear gas on anti-government demonstrators. thousands gathered at a park to call for a boycott of the chinese communist party. sounds like a good idea.

the leader of this rally reportedly arrested shortly after addressing the crowd. and two kansas city chiefs fans are getting more than their money's worth, they're being repaid after losing their beers -- [laughter] a viral touchdown celebration in last week's playoff game. offensive lineman -- >> we've got a habit of messing things up. >> it can took their beers -- [laughter] stone cold steve austin. >> i love it. pete: helping the fans actually meet fisher, and they got their own beer tower. you give up your beer to an offensive heineman, and you might get -- lineman, and you might get a beer tower. >> did you ever get a chance to celebrate with the crowd? >> i wish i could have. back in the day before a lot of viral moments. i'm dating myself.

pete: before celebration was allowed. >> yeah, that's true. they were very, very hesitant to celebrate in the pros. now, my goodness, it's clicks, shares and likes, baby. jason: we've got a great lineup coming up. it's nfl championship sunday, and we have our all-star lineup of former nfl players here with their predictionings. pete: so which teams do they think will score a spot in super bowl liv on fox? we'll find out coming up.

♪ ♪ jason: president trump's impeachment trial is set to begin tuesday. yesterday in their trial briefing house impeachment managers claimed, quote: president trump's conduct is the framers' worst nightmare. the evidence overwhelmingly establishes that he is guilty.

the senate must use that remedy now to safeguard the 2020 u.s. election, protect our constitutional form of government and eliminate the threat that the president poses to america's national security. here to react is south carolina gop senator tim scott. i had the honor and privilege of serving with senator scott back in the house of representatives. senator, thank you for being here with us this morning. >> good morning, jason. jason: good morning. the democrats are making the case that they're trying to protect the 2020 election, and this is somewhat what congressman al green said is they need to impeach him because they're actually worried that he might win in november. >> absolutely. i was going to start with that point, to be honest with you. the most important statement made about this entire impeachment process was made by congressman al green when he said if we don't impeach him, he might win, number one. number two, nancy pelosi held the inpeach. documents for -- impeachment documents for nearly a month

which means there is no national security threat. and number three, the desire for the positive to include witnesses is only to put on trial senators from colorado, from north carolina, from maine, from iowa. said differently, i believe the democrat strategy is not to bring more illumination to the case, but to put a bull's eye on the back of corey gardner, joni ernst, martha mcsally, thom tillis. that is the strategy they're using to try to win back the senate. this is actually not about removing the president, this is about removing enough senators in our, in the republican party in order to take control of the senate and to rebuke the president for the next four years because they're pretty concerned, and i think they believe that the american people are now solidly behind president donald trump, and their greatest fears are coming true. because the fact is that this president has focused on bringing opportunities to the poorest communities in the

nation. this president has helped bring the minority unemployment rate to record lows for asians, for african-americans, for hispanics. our nation's unemployment rate is at 3.5%. our stock market is going through the ceiling. they are trembling in their boots, so the only thing they have focused on their minds today is not president trump, it is removing senators from office so that they can have control of the united states senate. jason: well, and they can't have it both ways. you can't in your opening statement say that the evidence is overwhelming and then also make the case, oh, by the way, we need to hear additional witnesses that we didn't hear of before. i think that contrast -- i've got to move on to the economy -- >> absolutely. jason: -- because, you know, the conventional wisdom at least from the democrats is that the african-american community is overwhelmingly going to support joe biden. they're going to get behind the democrats. but what you've been able to accomplish with your economic zones and the economy thriving, is that full -- i mean, are

they, are they moving down a path where they actually can produce the results they say they're going to be able to produce? >> there's no question that president trump's economic agenda has brought more prosperity into the african-american community than we've seen in my lifetime, number one. number two, but i think they are deathly afraid of the last three polls have indicated african-american support at 30% for president trump. 30% is a number unhammered of by a republican -- unherald of by a republican president. with but this is producing the type of results that only say one thing to the african-american community. we believe that there is i high potential, incredible people who only needed opportunity and access to those opportunities. president trump has brought so many of those to the community that i believe that we're going to have a record turnout on behalf of the president. jason: senator, thank you so much. really do appreciate you joining us this morning.

ed: monday at 9. pete: congratulations, sincerely. but we want to get you to weigh in on this feud back and forth. it was bernie and warren, now it's bernie and biden, and bernie is saying biden wants to tinker with social security. here's a clip from joe biden in 2018. >> paul ryan was correct when he did the tax code. what's the first thing he decided we had to go after? social security and medicare. now, we need to do something about social security and medicare. that's the only way you can find room to pay for it. [laughter] rachel: joe biden says that this clip has been altered or somehow somebody hacked the video and changed it. watch this. this was yesterday. >> it is simply a lie, that video that's going around. and ask anybody in the press, it's a flat lie. they've acknowledged that this is a doctored tape. and i think it's beneath, and i'm looking for his campaign to

come forward and disown it. but they haven't done it yet. look, it's on video. was he right in. [laughter] ed: no. it doesn't sound like biden is right. i listened to the fuller context, and that was a long shot you played there, that was fair, and he said we're going to have to go after social security. we're going to take care of this budget. and medicare, by the way. i think the bottom line here is that joe biden, in his defense, has lasted longer than pundits on the left or the right thought. he's been getting beaten up for months now, and he's still the front-runner. and warren is fading. here is the bad news, it's a death by a thousand cuts. every vote in the senate, his age and his experience, he's been in the swamp for decades. you've got every vote and every speech like that when he was out of office in 2018 are coming back to get him. bernie may not be able to beat him, but he's going to be around to the convention likely, a, and b, even if biden gets the nomination, guess who's going to

use that video and script? president trump. can you imagine a debate between president trump and joe bide when stuff like social security are on the table and those old videos and biden tries to claim it's fake when we've got him on tape? rachel: i know. that actually makes you look really weak. i mean, this is a fake video. we know nobody's doctoring social security videos from 1998. pete: the sanders campaign wrote: joe biden should be honest with voters and try doctoring his own public records. the facts are very clear, biden not only pushed to social security, he's on tape proudly brag about it on multiple occasions. ed: right. pete: to rachel's point, why not own previous decisions you've had? maybe you've changed a little bit, but saying you've doctored it -- ed: right. it seems weak. president trump's talked about, hey, we're going to deal with entitlements as well. he hasn't tackled cutting

spending, federal spending has been ballooning. he wanted to get national defense back up, we've talked about that on this principal. but, look, republicans once talked a lot about cutting the debt, about getting this budget balanced. he gave a lot of speeches about that, and a lot of his colleagues didn't listen. at some point, both parties are going if to have to confront that. jason: bill hemmer taking over the 3:00 spot? ed: yeah, i was thinking about hegsit.

i like, i like the kansas city chiefs. i like mahomes. i like the way he plays. and the way he gets his team to rally around him. and then again i love aaron rodgers. so, you know with, i'm a big aaron rodgers with guy, i've always been. i played with one of the best quarterbacks ever in joe montana, and aaron rodgers remind me of him. it's going to be exciting. >> there's no doubt. the titans have, obviously, a titan in a running back. just out of curiosity, who do you feel -- the titans are, obviously, the underdog, right? they're come into this game -- they've come into this game having surprised a lot of folks at away games, so what do you think of the titans' game? >> well, that's the most important thing in the national football league, you have to control the tempo, the environment you go into. that's why tennessee does such a

good job, that's why san francisco is so good. that's why i'm a little concerned about a kansas city team or a packer team. i don't think their running game is as strong. if the tennessee titans or the san francisco 49ers, if their running game rolls like it has been and they control the environment and they have no turnovers and their quarterback complements that, i think they win. >> yeah, merril mentioned quarterbacks. it's one thing to prepare all year, it's another to play in a championship. i'm just a fan who's watched, but i can only imagine the pressure. aaron rodgers is really the only really experienced guy. how much does that help? >> bigtime. i mean, you know, once you've been there it's obviously an advantage for you. but what i like about mahomes is this same scenario took place last year with him playing the patriots, and he rose to the occasion. and so i think he's the secret weapon to all of this. back to what merril said, when

you're dealing with the running game where they can control the tempo, this guy is eric dickerson and eddie george mixed together. if they can contain him, i think they have a really good shot at allowing patrick mahomes to control the tempo. pete: interesting. >> we all know about the word if, right? [laughter] if we can stop them, if we can control the line of scrimmage. pete: yeah. well, and we say in the military no plan survives first contact with the enemy. so that first time you hit, the game plan you had could go sideways. >> and that first hit's going to be the biggest. >> what are your most memorable moments in these championship series? is. pete: real quick. >> my first playoff game was the houston oilers on the road, nobody had any experience. they fired jerry gallonville, best part about that. [laughter] pete: real quick, we've got to leave, biggest moment. >> i would probably say, or you know, just the preparation of the lights are brighter, you know?

proud of how meghan has so quickly become one of the family. it is my whole family's hope that today's agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful life. chris, what do you read in between those lines? >> look, i actually think, i did hear that harry had mentioned, you know, the tragedy of his mother if dying in a car crash when he was 12 years old and him starting to recognize patterns of just a total invasion of privacy around his wife, meghan. and so taking that at face value, i actually completely respect this idea that they want to kind of become more private and removed. however, i feel like this this s just vaulted them into the public spotlight at a level they've never even seen before. now they're going to be without security and in the spotlight even more. i just don't know what this does for privacy. jason: yeah, no. in england there are protections against the paparazzi that they are not going to have in canada or the united states. i think they're going to wrap themselves up with, you know, the coastal elite, the media folks, and they'll be
