let's give a warm steamboat springsal welcome to professor alan dershowitz. [applause] >> clearly, i've been talking a lot with my uber drivers today. i spoke with another uber driver and i said, i told him i said tonight, i'm interviewing alan dershowitz, and the uber driver said to me, he said, yeah, i've got mixed feelings about him. [laughter] prof. dershowitz: that's better than i usually get. mixed is okay. >> mixed is ok. my answer to him, professor, was, yeah, we all do. [laughter] >> such is the life of one professor alan dershowitz, but i guess my first question for you then is, because you may not fit the mold of the political persuasion of this audience, what's a nice liberal guy like you doing it a conference like this? [laughter] prof. dershowitz: well, thank you. first of all, i love the steamboat institute. you guys represent the best of seeking liberty and freedom and due process and freedom of speech, and today, i find -- [applause] as a classicitz: liberal, i find today i have much more in common with classic conservatives than i do with ha

i think that lance even more persuasiveness to what alan dershowitz is saying. this starts to look like a political solution. to what they may not be so confident about next november, which is, you know removing president trump the old fashion way, the ballot box. that is when it begins to look like when you make comments about a case. i think your being very prudent about it and i salute you for that, reserving judgment at the very least until the documents come out. but no, they cannot do that. they want the new cycle like that. >> well, here is the thing. sometimes you can have an impeachment, a real impeachment investigation, and public opinion can change. even though people were outraged by the saturday night massacre, when the house first started its impeachment investigation of nixon, public opinion was much more closely divided than it was at the end because new revelations kept coming out and they discover things. so i suppose that is what speaker pelosi hopes will happen here. i just don't see any evidence yet that it is going to happen. and so very da

israel: the story of my relationship with my most challenging client," harvard law professor alan dershowitz baird fox and friends we can host pete hegseth come alive in israel, a little after 4:00 a.m. this morning. pete, we will start with you there. i see some votes been counted, but i'm told the final outcome is in doubt by everybody. and, like in the last election in april, it was close at this hour, as well. >> yeah, eyes glued to the television in israel. too close to call, because all of the initial accounts are based on exit polling. the results will be certified today. one thing i will say, it is close at the top of the polls. bibi netanyahu has done better once the votes certified the media here, no friend of him but similar to president trump faces in the united states. the media here are very bibi netanyahu left-wing and so we've had to deal with the face of that as well as other charges but ultimately, the united states has had no better friend than bibi netanyahu. i've even seen campaign with bibi netanyahu throughout jerusalem, so that -- this election is about him. the secur

alan dershowitz, who told me this morning that the stuff in the transcript this morning was devastatingesn't have anything impeachable and nothing crimina criminal. it's not an immature saying that. >> let's be clear, i'm a tactician. i'm not stark about anything. that's my professional judgment as a political consultant. that's my business. i'm not an ideologue. >> harris: why does this keep happening to the democrats? you can point to the bob mueller report and say there was so much buildup, for the facts not to match all of that emotion, it was more than a letdown. it was damaging for democrats. that could happen here. they could have waited 72 hours. >> they could have waited, but they are so anxious to do with where the monies coming from. it's coming from new york and california, and the people in new york and california who care about what happens in the ukraine, because they think about it, are pressuring the party. the rally, if you go into the heartland, i worked all over the country and i've worked specifically in 44 american states. you say to folks, "by the way, the preside

the justice department and legal minds like alan dershowitz say no. >> i did not see either an impeachableme or any indictable crime. what i saw is some pretty rough politics. and the answer to that is let the other side play rough politics. in the end this is going to be a political tie. it will dirty the biden camp a little bit. there will be some americans who will say maybe the president shouldn't have made that call, but it doesn't belong in congress and impeachment inquiry and doesn't belong in the justice department. it is not a crime, high or otherwise. david: judge andrew napolitano joining us now. he disagrees. where is the evidence of the high crimes >> you know, two or three or ten lawyers looking at the same problem can come up with two or three or ten and they get paid. david: like economists. >> ten different opinions. >> that would be 20 different opinions. >> right because each lawyer has more than one opinion. the federal law makes it a crime to accept anything of value in a federally-regulated political campai campaign. it makes it a crime to solicit anything of value in

academics agree that a crime is not required for an impeachable offense, but notable academics like alan dershowitzue that a crime is required for impeachment. >> niels, let me get your thoughts on the republican party here for a moment, how they have been reacting to this, as we have played obviously different ends of the spectrum to their reaction but as this drags on, as we get more reaction, as the whistleblower complaint likely becomes president, are we likely to see any positions or minds changed as a result? >> i think the people who came out quickly and said there is no quid pro quo here, there is nothing to see here, there is no way it is impeachable, it is will be difficult for some of those lawmakers both in the house and senate to reverse course. the people who i would be looking at are, in some of the clips you played on the front end here, what does mitt romney do? what does susan collins from maine do, who says i can't comment at all because i might be a juror in this proceeding, which of course is an interesting tact to take. i think those are the people to look at, most directly, u

alan dershowitz with us, harvard law professor emeritus, the author of this book, "defending israel."program. >> thank you. >> i'm sure you heard what i had to say. what do you make of it? >> i generally agree with everything you said. the framers of our constitution had two choices when it came to the impeachment provision. one would have made our government much like the british government, giving congress the power to get rid of the chief executive based on a partisan no confidence vote the way prime ministers are ended their 10 your in england and israel and other places. we rejected that we said we want a strong president that serves for four years. that is why the framers rejected the criteria maladministration or malfeasance in office as criteria for impeachment and removal. that would have turned us into the british system we were revolting against. we prefer a system of certainty, predictability, which means the president serves four years unless he has committed a high crime, misdemeanor, treason sore bribery. that case has not been made with regard to president trump. so wh
