host: bob barr.st: assault weapons made for war are not available to the average citizen in the united states. weapons, whichg are issued to the military and law enforcement, are not available to citizens, lawfully. this notion that you can kill so ar-15eople with an platform civilian rifle that you could not do with a shotgun or handgun, is nonsense. it does not bear out in terms of the real world. one of the terms that the left is using, apparently very effectively, because many in the news media are repeating it, is they have gone beyond using the term assault weapon, which is improperly used, anyway, because the civilian firearms available are not automatic assault weapons, they are now switching to using the term weapons of war, as if a rifle that is simply a semi automatic rifle, like so many in this country and anywhere in the world, is somehow the same type used by the u.s. military in war zones is absolutely untrue and an effort to simply disguise what they are doing. weapons of war are full

bob barr, as the news is breaking today, thank you for your time.now, it comes through a political prism. chris stirewalt, fox news digital politics editor, joins me now. it's been quite a last 90 minutes. we don't have a national security adviser but we know from the president, a new one, a fourth one of his presidency, is coming. >> right. look, this is an issue that, for most voters, national security, unless something really bad or really good is happening, for most voters this isn't a determinative thing. the president gets a lot of leeway on the subject, again, as long as we are substantially at peace. on the other hand, when you see what we're trying to pull off in afghanistan, in syria, when you think of the threat from the rug russians, he's got to have his team in place and be speaking with a clear voice, so that voters who might get concerned about things being adrift, that those voters feel reassured. >> harris: senator chuck shumer of new york has sweet tweeted this, or put this out. how does this play from democrats across the aisle? >

it's going to change because bob barr is investigate and get and now let's see what happens when the media have to cover it. interesting. >> host: it's interesting because even the need has been reporting about the average voter and other feel about the mueller report, or bob mueller or they don't know, either they don't know if you don't care. they did a list of issues that they care about, and literally 0% said mueller. as the mueller investigation get whitey think they're such a disconnect between what voters care about and what the media choose to cover? >> guest: because the media are not covering news anymore. news is a very subjective thing. leslie mitchell who was walter cronkite long time producer, a book, half of with his days as a newspaperman and he asked in the print media, what is news? peaceable news is what the editor says it is. the second half with television. he said what is news? the answer was used in what the process it is. that's in fact, what news is. what cnn and company and wanted to be news is that this was collusion and bob mueller was going to uncover it.

bob baer is -- bob barr is holding a party at a trump hotel.stay there, maybe that's a good idea, you mentioned the g7, we have this. i imagine folks at home saying we keep seeing this happen, beyond publicizing it, what can lawmakers do about it? >> well, i think over on the house side, where they -- the democrats have the majority, there's actually a pursuit by the relevant committees looking into this as part of their overall inquiry into president trump, both on questions of the possibility of high crimes and misdemeanors and the emoluments clause, enriching himself through the government, and other elements. i think that course of events is ultimately what's going to produce the facts to make a determination. >> the president was planning to meet with taliban leaders at camp david this weekend. we now know that because he publicly announced it and canceled it on twitter over the weekend and know this morning that it was against the advice of his vice president and his national security adviser, john boulton, especially because it was so cl

complaint about this particular call between the president and ukrainian president, and crucially that bob barr's name was mentioned in the complaint. it was referred to the justice department, they let the white house know a full week before formally it was handed to the justice department and other officials. it raises hard questions about one, why, and two, did it give officials a chance to see what are they going to do about it. we know what followed that, there were efforts to keep the complaint concealed. it is a remarkable delay. >> thanks very much for that. senator bob menendez is joining us. thanks for joining us. let me get quick reaction to breaking news, not one, not two, three house committees subpoenaed the secretary of state, mike pompeo, for documents involving ukraine. you're calling him to testify as well. in your eyes, does he bear responsibility for rudy guiliani's interference in state department affairs? >> well, if rudy guiliani is telling the truth, then he definitely bears responsibility. who is rudy guiliani as it relates to the state department or any official position

department of justice which is headed by one of the people in the complaint that is the attorney general bob barr so this is highly concerning to the democrats but again the republicans have their own. concerns and you saw this battle for narratives in the midst of all of this the president trying to take hold of that narrative speaking to reporters as he landed in washington after returning from the united nations general assembly in new york tried to characterize them self as an embattled president who has been victimized by what he sees as democrats who are out to get him and simply don't respect the results of the 2016 u.s. election. everybody i just watched a little bit of this on television it's a disgrace to our country it's another which on here we go again it's at every ship it is crew making up stories and sitting there like hi is whatever you want to call them a just a really is a straight it's a terrible thing for our country they can't do any work they're frozen the democrats are going to lose the election they know it that's why they're doing it and it should never be allowed what's

. >> in the beginning of the year, we reported, we were first to report, beginning of the year, bob barren he was getting announced as attorney general for the usa he would crack down on tech. i mean trump, i think what we have here is a battle of, this is so political and i think these companies, ags and the administration see so much voter angst at big tech right now, that they, that they see political capital in these investigations. that is a lot of what you're seeing here. if you own the stock, expect some turbulence, google, facebook, apple. speaking about facebook, some congressman want to put -- neil: ron wyden, right? >> what is that all about? neil: i don't know. the guy should go to jail if he is invading the privacy of -- >> cavuto should go to jail if he did rob that bank over there. neil: in that case if i did. >> these people are crazy. it is so, this is, this is so stupid that these politicians are playing people like a fiddle. listen, tech, i'm sure steps over the line. it does a lot of good. it employs a lot of people. neil: you can't claim they're guilty before being c

just to name a few, secretary of state pompeo, attorney general bill barr, bob lighthizer a trade, never been a trade rep better than he. steve minasian at treasury. alex lazar at hhs, phenomenal. mark esper, acting secretary of defense, terrific. they'll understand their role is to advance the president's agenda. that's the way it works. sure, you offer your advice and sometimes you debate. the president is fine with that, but then you get on board with whatever he decides, not your decision. and if you cannot do that, then step aside for someone who can. everyone understands? and that's the angle. here to respond and retired brigadier general robert spalding and lieutenant colonel james carafano from the heritage foundation. james, you believe that bolton was actually promoting trump's america first policies but if that was the case, why is he gone? >> first of all, my heart is broken. it is like the captain and neil breaking up. i love the yin and yang bolton and trump. the dynamism worked really well. the first point is, let's remember before it was kelly, mattis, tillerson, they kep

so i think bob conducted himself in an appropriate way. barr -- >> and what about that?t about -- now you've read the report. >> yeah. >> going back to his distillation of the report he summarized it for the country many weeks before, and he got to see the report. >> evidence developed by this special council is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. >> was that a fair summary? >> no. i mean, what barr did in the two public interactions he had with regard to the mueller report was totally untruthful. he said things about the report that were totally inconsistent with the things that were contained in the report, and it was really kind of puzzling to me. it was as if we'll get the report and we'll get this and compare to what you've said to what's in the report. >> was he trying to buy time or -- what do you think was his motive? >> i'm not sure what his motive was, but i think the impact of having the attorney general of the united states disemble and say something that was inconsistent did a great deal to harm him and

on the list, william barr, wilbur ross, stephen nguyen, rick dearborn, bob porter, kellyanne conway >> i think there will be pushed back. however, if you look back at the mueller investigation, for example, the white house cooperated fully with robert mueller and his team. they did not cooperate fully with congress after that. but they had led all those people testify and talk to mueller and his team exclusively for extensive periods of time. it seems like the president is about transparency. he obviously put out the transcript of the phone call. but i bet when push comes to shove -- and this impeachment process goes forward -- he might get a little bumpy. >> harris: you mentioned the president, and of course he has treated, he has talked on camera, he has got a rebuttal to all of this. just over the weekend. let's watch. >> what's going on now is the single greatest scam in the history of american politics. the democrats want to take away your guns. they want to take away your health care. they want to take away your vote. they want to take away your freedom. they want to take away y

unless you're saying that attorney general barr is not a qu qualified, competent individual that he and the deputy attorney general who bob mueller presented their cases to made the determination -- >> are you calling into question their credentials? >> what i'm saying is that -- are you saying scores of legal experts? >> corey, what i'm saying is that a thousand, 1,000 former federal prosecutors, democrats and republican, bipartisan group, signed a letter saying that there was evidence of obstruction of justice and that any regular citizen would have been charged and convicted of it. >> so you're calling into question the credibility of attorney general barr in saying that he wasn't qualified to make the decision? >> corey, i already answered the question. here's the thing. when you confirmed that the president asked you to do that, why didn't you do that? if you didn't think it was wrong, why didn't you do what the president asked you to do? >> alisyn, i was clear. i took my children on vacation. you understand the priority of spending time with your kids, i'm sure. >> i do. how long did you go on vacation for? >> i was

not the determination of bob mueller in connection with the campaign finance law and it was not the department of justice's view. and it wasn't an idle view and it wasn't bill barr'ssonal opinion. this came through the office of legal counsel that rendered i think it was a ten page opinion office of legal counsel has a long standing reputation for nonpartisan advice that is respected throughout the federal government and not only respected but binding on the federal government as we found this week through the hearings with the dni. >> and based on what we learned this week, so much, right, firg t first the transcript comes out and we hear from the dni. and i asked during the break your thoughts about the totality of what is going on and the potential for impeachment have changed from where they were. >> i really don't think so. >> you don't believe there is any impeachable offense? >> well, he has grabbed a hold of the last of the four tries here about why this is a high crime or misgreen odemeanormisd. we heard treason until somebody reminded the people making that claim that ukraine is an ally, so it can't possibly be treason. the second one was that it was bri

the hoax, this thing is a witch hunt, bob mueller has looked at every bit of this, three ways to sunday, and has come up with nothing. and attorney general bill barr likewise has also looked at it and passed on it. what are we doing here? what are we here for? >> harris: legally, what are we looking at? you got the impeachment inquiry, which this is not. they had a meeting, democrats, earlier this week. and they said, would you go ahead with talking impeachment?" that's not putting impeachment in motion. >> indeed, harris, the republicans who file those papers in the don mcgahn case have made fun. literally, made fun of the moving target here. it is impeachment. it's not impeachment. it is initial impeachment. so it's kind of ridiculous, to be candid. >> harris: it has begun. let's watch and listen to give. >> good deal. >> i hope that in what should be a spirited discussion of these issues today, we will stay focused on the issues, take care to keep our comments from being directed personally toward the president. i would like to recognize myself for an opening statement. today's hearing is entitled "presidential obstruction of justice and abuse
