joining us now, alan dershowitz harvard law professor emeritus and author of the new book "guilt by accusation" and congressman lee is salesman. lots of stuff to get to for both of you. alan, after these two weeks could democrats really move to drop their impeachment crusade given what we are seeing in some of these pretty key public opinion surveys? >> it violates the constitution and congress seems to forget that they are not above the law either. they can't make it up as they go along and they haven't found any offenses as defined by the constitution that would authorize impeachment. so if they are smart, they would marginalize those who were trying to impeach, bring the center back and say, let's move on to health care and other issues that would affect americans. let's put impeachment aside. will they do that? i don't know. i don't know how much pressure they will get from the squad and others demanding impeachment but if they are sensible they will move away from that because it's a gift to the republicans and a gift to president trump. >> laura: congressman, adam schiff is still trying

it's a brand-new book, fresh out from harvard law professor alan dershowitz. i got it right here. congratulations, this is well-timed and will be a great book. >> thank you. and everyone should read it because it could happen to you. how do you protect yourself from false accusations? and how do you win? >> jason: i look forward to reading through it. let's start with gregg jarrett. he's got real problems, created real problems in the united states and china as well. >> the government is america's racist competitor and if it don't make adversary china goes into business with the sun. and at the same time, joe biden is put in charge of u.s. and china policy. it's not just the appearance of a conflict of interest, it is a legitimate egregious conflict of interest. and the investments are troubling. and that is nuclear power investing in china investing. i guarantee you. if democrats are foolish enough to impeach the president, the trial of the u.s. senate will not be a trial of donald trump, it will be a trial of joe and hunter biden as well as a trial of adam schiff and his suspect

alan dershowitz will explain why two white house lawyers refused to appear in front of congress today show it's game on. trauma 2020 senior campaign advisor laura tromp. she's never been on the shell before, hard to believe. she has a new reaction to a battleground poll that has democrats and panic mode. john solomon has exclusive new reporting and he will bring it to us tonight concerning hunter biden and pressure that ukrainian -- ukrainian company put on the obama state department. first, president pragmatic versus democrat fanatic. that is the focus of tonight single-parent last week we saw democrats finally vote on that m investigation they had been pursuing in secret for weeks. this impeachment inquiry -- think about it. it would knock the wind out of any other president, but not him. in fact the dramatic effects of their cheesy impeachment prequel was blunted days before the boat when trump announced a successful and daring admission to take out the isis leader. then it was six days later, the week ended with blockbuster economic numbers. >> 128,000 jobs in october, beating exp

alan dershowitz is here and moments to set them all straight. could senate majority leader mitch mcconnell single-handedly blow up the 2020 democratic primary? fox's own ed henry is here with some very interesting intel and also tonight, a special edition -- we don't do this often but it's thursday follies. don jr. triggers the ladies of the view and if you missed it, we were screaming. it raymond arroyo is here with the details and a lot more. tucker carlson, a very unusual drop by by him on what seems to be nothing but collusion among the big three television networks, what is that all about? but first, impeachment by emotion, that is the focus of tonight's angle. adam schiff is a lousy congressman but he would be an even worse magician. he's forever trying but failing to pull off a slight of hand thinking the audience is too stupid to see him hide the card up his sleeve. this impeachment farce, we are supposed to believe that president trump knowing that the dozen people were listening in on his ukraine call was nevertheless improperly using

alan dershowitz and the impeachment manager bob barr claim how they can do it. plus investigative journalist lee smith the names on the g.o.p. witness list are so very important next. >> tech: don't wait for a chip like this to crack your whole windshield. with safelite's exclusive resin, you get a strong repair that you can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ >> any impeachment in the house that doesn't allow was to know who the whistle-blower is to be invalid because without the whistle-blower complete, we would not talk about any ideas. this is not about schiff finding that truth but about schiff trying to destroy the presidency. >> laura: the g.o.p. ahead of the first impeachment. here are the public hearing on capitol hill. the republicans need to be on offense as well with their messaging. first the g.o.p. needs to ask what crime they are trying to prove? second, what are the democrats trying to hide by the ability to call their own witnesses unfettered

it's a brand-new book, fresh out from harvard law professor alan dershowitz. i got it right here.fessor, congratulations, this is well-timed and will be a great book. >> thank you. and everyone should read it because it could happen to you. how do you protect yourself from false accusations?en and how do you win? >> jason: impeccable time. i look forward to reading through it. let's start with gregg jarrett. you have been looking this answering this for a long time. but china. hunter biden, we've been talking about it with ukraine but he's got real problems, created real problems in the united states and china as well. >> the government of america's fiercest competitor and adversary china goes into business with the son. and at the same time, joe biden is put in charge of u.s. and china policy. it's not just the appearance of a conflict of interest, it is a legitimate, egregious conflict of interest. and the investments are troubling.ou aviation, automotive, technology, and, most troubling of all, nuclear power, investing in a china company that has been accused by the department

brit hume, alan dershowitz, juan williams all here life as we get ready for the rally. we begin with the congressman crenshaw of texas who has been urging his colleagues. we appreciate you coming into night. >> great to be with you. >> ed: what to say about brenda lawrence from michigan? over the weekend she was basically saying that she is for censure, there is no point to remove him from office. today on msnbc she flip-flopped and said she still for impeachment. what is going on? >> i think that's indicative of the problem democrats have politically here. i think 31 seats that trump one method are held by democrats, they're in a tough position. on the one hand they have the radical left base that wants impeachment at all costs. they've wanted since he got elected and we all know that. they've independence that they're starting to lose now. we are seeing polling data showing a shift and support for impeachment and in favor of the president. that's not good for these democrats. there's no upside for them. what they're hoping for is to make this narrative stick, to make

here now to respond is alan dershowitz, harvard law professor emeritus and author of. the president didn't look worried about impeachment at tonight's rally. is there anything now with the posture of this case as it moves forward in this inquiry? is there anything he should be worried about? >> first, thank you, and the name of my book is "guilt by accusation" not by association because it's about being falsely accused and having the accusation becoming the determination of guilt. no, i don't think the president has very much to worry about. they're focusing on obstruction of congress. there is no such thing. obstruction of congress. obstruction of justice might be a crime under certain circumstances but obstruction of congress is called checks and balances. that's called separation of powers. when congress tells you that you have to do something and you think executive authority tells you can't do it you go to court and if the court decides you have to do it, then obviously if you fail to comply with the order of the highest court after all review is done then you are

alan dershowitz mentioned in this tape.enied and threatened to sue anyone makes false allegations of any wrongdoing in his case, and by the way, his only roll is at one point he was his attorney, and he said he regretted it. host of justice saturday nights 9:00, judge jeanine pirro. anyway media reporter joe concha. all right. judge, i'm look looking at this here. unbelievable. we had everything. allegations about prince allegations about prince andrew. afraid they might lose the interview with kate we had clinton. she had pictures. she gave us all the details. doesn't sound like she had anything but all the facts and ripping and ready to go to me. why would abc spike that/ why would abc spike that? >> i don't know why they spiked it allegedly. because they didn't want to ruin relationships with the buckingham palace, and with the royal family. but here's the interesting thing: i don't understand why nbc, abc, all of these people are interested in protecting ahi pedophile. and by the way, she comes up with a statement expla

alan dershowitz, one of the most famous liberal democrats, he supported hillary clinton, harvard lawhe has said what the president did was a political sin, not a political crime. we're criminalising... if senator smith says to senatorjones in the senate, "you give me the bridge money, i'll give you the highway money for my state", that's a quid pro quo, it's not a bribe, it's not a crime. you'd have to put half of congress in the jail if that's a crime. in the end, the judgement will be made, it now looks like, by the senators when it comes to it. i wonder what you make of the remarks from a former us senator who only left office injanuary, who says that if there were a public vote, yeah, probably donald trump is home and dry. if it was a private vote, though, this isjeff flake who was saying, i've have heard democrats say, well, we'd be lucky to see 30 republicans. he says he thinks actually 35 republicans, if the evidence were there, could vote against the president. i mean, is he in real danger, do you think? i think that's very speculative. how do you know what people would do in

see what happens here in the next few days i went by can also claims that annoy effect stain alan dershowitz pressured a.b.c. rule to release the story he's that they simply provided the network with evidence that a key witness was not reliable how susceptible do you think these major news outlets ought to outside pressure. oh i think it's i think it's been my experience in my career over the last 10 years very versus outgoing i mean c.n.n. has not yet covered these these tapes i mean this is a big story i mean this is this is made the associated press in the united states today and a.b.c. news and defense the president of a.b.c. news talk to project veritas none of these networks there seems to be some type of and any amy says it's her own words she says there seems to be some type of network of people that you know that that is covering up for this and she says she has a she thought all of it so. you know like i said that i encourage people to watch the full tape i think that people do not trust the media anymore and in the united states they're not they know they're not getting their news

mistake but i don't think it's a criminal act and i don't think it's an impeachable you know how alan dershowitz a very famous liberal has said we don't impeach people for political since you know many winced and not many would dispute the dershowitz liberal label and he's been a trump defender on fox news for obama just kal come back to the impeachable vs criminal act in a moment just on the phone call the democrats are focusing their impeachment inquiry on this crucial july phone call between donald trump and the president of ukraine but was the call in which according to the white house's own call summary the ukrainian president asked for military aid and trump replied quote i would like you to do us a favor though and he then went on to ask ukrainian president to quote look into former vice president joe biden and his son trump says that phone call was quote perfect do you think it was perfect. i don't think anything said in that call was criminal or impeachable i would disagree with the assessment that it was perfect what was wrong with it but it's his assessment and he's allowed to make hi

then alan dershowitz was also implicated.old me everything, she had pictures, she had everything. she was in hiding for 12 years, we convinced her to come out, we convinced her to talk to us. it was unbelievable what we had. we had everything. i tried for three years to get on, to no avail. now it's all coming out. these new revelations, and i freaking had all of it. i'm so pissed right now. every day i get more and more pissed because i am like, oh, my god. what we had was own real. >> tucker: this comes out and abc scrambles. really scrambles. not to find out who or why this tape was suppressed. why network executives protected jeffrey epstein of all people. now, they scrambled to find and punish the person who leaked the tape. they are much more committed to butt-covering then they are to truth-exposing. katie pavlich, the editor of "town hall," joins us tonight. katie, i want to say what i said last night, good for amy robach. she seems like sort of a real journalist. good for her. there's no question, executives at abc p

and then alan dershowitz was also implicated in it. the plane. she told me everything.ad pictures she had everything. she was in hiding for 12 years. we convinced her to come out and convinced her to talk to us. it was unbelievable what we had. clinton. we have everything. i tried for three years to get it on to no avail and now all coming out. new revelations and i freaking had all of it. i am so pissed right now. every day i get more and more pissed oh my god what we had was unreal. >> tucker: that's clearly real elizabeth senior correspondent at variety joins us tonight. abc -- excuse me, robach you feel for this was not for public consumption but clearly sincere. she issued a statement today clearly under the gun from corporate lawyers say we didn't have the story clearly obviously nonsense. why wouldn't abc more honest than that. >> you are right, tucker, abc released a statement where they said this story was not ready for air. did not meet our broadcast standards and then amy robach issued a statement that said while i am disappointed that my interview didn't mak

that is why alan dershowitz is in the film -- that something is happening on campuses that is uniqueamerican history. we have a bunch of folks left of center - van jones - we have president obama, twice, in the film telling students, hello -- you cannot shut down a speech you do not agree with. if this does not unite liberals and conservatives, nothing will. that is what i believe is happening. liberals are awakening -- i do not expect the left to awaken, because the left has never, since lenin, ever supported free speech. host: regina joining us from kentucky, independent line. e, kentucky,nc republican line. caller: hi, good morning. how are you? guest: well, thank you. caller: great. it is good to be able to talk with you. i happen to be someone who works at one of the campuses, and i agree, totally -- being a conservative, there is no way in the world we can even say anything. there is an automatic assumption that everyone agrees that we are all liberals, so therefore, automatically, your freedom of speech is shut down right there. but one of the things that is concerning to me -

joining me now alan dershowitz. harvard law professor emeritus, author of the new book "guilt by accusation" which hits shelves tomorrow, along with bob barr. former clinton impeachment manager, republican congressman. alan, what are the potential pitfalls of the president cooperating in any way? even through written interrogatories? >> they're already going after him on one of his answers to the written interrogatories to mueller in which he said he didn't remember a conversation regarding wikileaks, and when you think it's a crime for the busiest man in the world to not remember something years later, then you know that what the democrats are planning is a perjury trap. and what is a perjury trap? it doesn't mean you have to commit perjury. you can tell the god's honest truth, but if the democrats have one person who will testify differently, then they can claim he committed perjury, and perjury is potentially a high crime and misdemeanor, so they're setting a trap for the president and i don't think he will be adv

there are some who say you are required to have a crime, alan dershowitz is one, required to have a crime in order to proceed with impeachment and i subscribe to the theory that any abuse of official power is enough and historically that's been the case, there have been articles of impeachment that are not crimes but mere abuse of official power. and a request, using that official power, to have an investigation, of a political rival, steams to, seems to fit within that category. yesterday's testimony went a step further for all of those people who thought burisma could be some corrupt company that we have to look out for, no, burisma meant biden. and that's really where this is heading. because sondland has already admitted to the quid pro quo. he's admitted that burisma was something that was being investigated. if they drive home at this point that burisma unquestionably was biden, as fiona hill testified yesterday, then this case becomes a relatively strong case for impeachment. >> i keep going back to the point that the republicans had control of the house and the senate with preside

directed her to have sex with a number of powerful men, one of whom was the celebrity lawyer alan dershowitzd sex with her while she was under age. he says she's a liar and is countersuing her for defamation. he spoke to newsnight this year. let me be very clear. i never met virginia roberts, i never heard of her, and she never met me or heard of me. these are virginia roberts‘ allegations about prince andrew. she says epstein first forced her to have sex with the prince in early 2001 in london. she was 17. i was so young. ghislaine woke me up in the morning and said, "you're going to meet a prince today. " i didn't know at that point that i was going to be trafficked to that prince. she says this is when the photo was taken. a recent channel 4 dispatches programme said it believed the photo was taken on the 10th of march 2001. unknown friends of prince andrew have doubted the veracity of the photo in newspaper reports. roberts says that they were at ghislaine maxwell's london home. she says they then went on to the members only nightclub, tramp. we leave club tramp and i hop in the car with

the author is alan dershowitz, harvard law professor, with me in new york today.r us, of this second transcript that president trump will reveal tomorrow? >> well, first of all, i want to thank every veteran who served and protected us. today is a day that we ought to take very, very seriously. second, i don't know what's in the second transcript. but there are two issues. what happened on those phone calls, and is there any possibility that there is an impeachable offense. let's get to second one first. the answer is no. there is no possibility. pick the worst, worst, worst case scenario, the president abused his foreign policy power to gain political advantage. how many presidents have done that over time? it's not among the listed impeachable offenses. it's not a crime. it's not any kind of a crime. it may be a political sin, that's a good reason for deciding who to vote for, but it's not a good reason for removing a duly elected president. the framers had a debate about this, and they rejected the concept of maladministration as a ground for impeachment. even
