ed rollins, doug schoen and judy miller. thank you for being here. what a beautiful moment this continues to be for this country. >> what most people don't realize there was no republican party in texas when george bush went there. he could have stayed in connecticut and been a senator, governor, whatever. when he went to texas and ran for the senate and lost and got elected to a house seat, one seat is all that was there. there was no republican party. two people very responsible for building the republican party george h.w. bush and karl rove. >> the oak ridge boys will do a rendition of "amazing grace." >> the feeling that so many people have who may never have met him. at one point people made fun of george bush. they never hated him. i think there is a big difference today in our politics.

we're joined by doug schoen, former clinton pollster, fox news contributor to talk about what i would the democrats see as a big christmas gift politically. >> absolutely. look, chad pergram's report says there are a lot of moving pieces that have to get taken care of in the house and two positions in the body to get a bill done. if on the chance that it doesn't get done, there will not be a wall because there is not going to be a wall when the democrats come in. connell: right. >> there will not be a wall when democrats come in. there will not be money for border security. the president will end up a big loser. that is all ifs, we know the risk of the president has been talked about a last couple days. he heard a lot of that talk and maybe that is motivating factor today. what have we heard from the dems, that things are too good to be true, that the possibility that they dropped ball here? >> risk i think they do get something through that the republicans declare victory and then, when the wall doesn't happen with additional funding, after the new congress starts, it will be, we got

joining us doug schoen and larry elder. you were friends with the clintons at one point. you have to give it to them they seem to skate every single time. >> my position is if you're going to finish as i think we should the mueller investigation, why wouldn't we want balance to look at the issues that have been now credibly raised? i'm not passing judgment on anything, sean. what is fair is fair. >> sean: do you agree you remember rain yum one is trouble some, phony the clinton bought and paid for dossier that christopher steele doesn't stand by, do those bother you? >> yeah, they do. look, i've read the dossier. that it was. >> sean: ridiculous. >> but together by the clinton campaign, paying millions of dollars for it. and used as a basis for fisa warrants, is a troubling thing to me that i think -- >> sean: troubling? >> it is. yeah. >> sean: the guy who wrote it doesn't stand by it, we now learned this week in john solomon's investigative report, larry elder, not only that our own intelligence community had questions but they still used it as the basis and bulk of inf

fox news contributor doug schoen.he american conservative union matt schlapp, daily caller white house correspondent saagar enjeti. matt, i will start with you, your reaction to where we are. at less than 20 minutes away from us another >> it is a very simple thing, we have chaos of n border, the democrats believe having basically an open border at the southern border is good politics for them. people can come there illegally, count to ten mississippi, and the next thing you know, they are asking for amnesty for those who came illegally. they think that pays off at the ballot box. most americans with common sense on this issue and to support legal immigration, over a million green cards a year, believe it ought to be a process where you can't subvert it illegally. i like the fact the president is taking a hard-line stance, and i think 2020 is going to be about building a wall, securing our southern border, and making sure that people have to follow the rules. >> shannon: delegate, i want to redo something from vox, sa

doug schoen, former poster for president bill clinton. both are fox news contributor's.now when former fbi director, somebody should be politically neutral we would hope, became such a staunch democrat? >> [laughs] a good question. it's especially interesting, given how he seems to have forgotten or not wanted to answer a lot of questions. but he was certain that there was no political bias at work. and he wondered, as i should say, as they phrase investigating the trump presidential campaign or associates of it, i think that is the most unbelievable part of his testimony. that he seems to be unaware and largely uninterested in how this investigation started. which could not be more consequential. the idea that the federal government using its surveillance powers to investigate associates of the opposition party. >> harris: doug schoen? would you say that you -- that this is a man who could recognize bias if he saw it? or is he just a gun for hire in terms of politics? >> harris, i don't know what he has. i'm a democrat. i want the democrats to win. but to hear the forme
