brit hume, great to see you.hank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: the impeachment trial on capitol hill, no matter how absurd it gets and can it get more absurd? it's still technically a trial and with a trial comes rules. we are monitoring everything that some of those rules have senators grumbling as they suffer through this interminable experience to make. to sorted out and add some facts, chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher joins us. >> they are grumbling because they are hungry and can't tweet. for nearly 200 years, the only drink allowed in the senate chamber was water and then in 1966 an unnamed senator had an unusual urge for a glass of milk and so technically milk is also allowed in the upper chamber along with water but water remains the decorum of preference though it can be still or sparkling. on the other hand, food is a known altogether in the food happens to be from pennsylvania. you can find that candy desk where not surprisingly pennsylvania senator pat toomey is in charge of making su

senior political analyst brit hume joins us now. good evening.ou heard and that piece robert rae, one of the president's lawyers essentially saying he is going to wait for the senate to decide. more specifically as you read this brief, really aimed at republican senators. >> that's right. republicans constituted majority of the senate and it takes 67 votes to convict a president and remove him from office. which means they democrats alone can't come close to doing it. they need about 20 republican senators to turn against the president and vote for his departure. the smart way to look at the defendants, the brief and the defendants that the president's representatives will be making is, whether it gives republicans who are disinclined to vote to move the president to begin with. some material they can work with to defend their vote. the only way the president can get tossed, the evidence to be so overwhelming and the wrongdoing so clear that the public is outraged by it. it becomes politically unsafe to vote not to convict. that is a tall order o

senior political analyst brit hume joins us tonight. good evening, brit. this john bolton revelation and we say that in its reporting, we have not seen the actual writing from this book. but it is causing quite a kerfuffle appear. what your take on it? >> it'll increase the pressure for bolton to be called to testify. i suspect what the senate will want to do is get the manuscript and see if it says what "the new york times" claims it says because there obviously were no direct quotes. it was a paraphrase of what he was supposed to have said and i heard when you guys earlier doing your coverage say that impeachment, the president's impeachment lawyers ignored what bolton was supposed to have said. i don't think they quite did. if they can make the case and they try to do it today, the biden-burisma connection one quite worthy of investigation, it won't matter as much that the president was seeking for a time at least to delay the aid to get the investigation started. i think that's what this was about today and it's up to the senators to how well it was re

as brit hume and i discussed on my program, you know, generally a prosecution they know what is going to be said. there's a deposition and we've heard from other people, fiona hill and what others john bolton said to them. nobody know what's he will say or his impact. this is like a train lumbering down the tracks. everybody thinks they know the destination its going. it's rocking a little bit on both sides. i think this story is still to play out in very big ways. >> we have about 34 seconds calculated by the time remaining on the house as they vote to send the articles to the senate and also to name the seven managers among democrats that will be handling this. what we saw with the full impeachment vote, they lengthened out the time to give opportunity. so we'll watch the clock closely. we can talk. the seven managers, can we pop them on the screen? who among them do you think yeah, we could have figured that out? any surprises on this list? there they are. >> i think most of them are fairly predictable. a few people that thought or hoped that they would be on the list who are not o

this is an acknowledgement of the point that our colleague brit hume made on fox a couple of weeks agocan senators already believe that trump did what he's accused of doing. they don't think it is worth impeaching him over. try it put your cards on the table and get your vote as quickly as possible and see if you can hold 50 out of 53 against witnesses and move on to the acquittal vote. >> john harwood, thank you very much. >>> alan dershowitz tackled the bolton issue with the argument for expansive presidential power. listen. >> nothing in the bolton revelations even if true would rise to the level of an abuse of power or an impeachable offense. >> back now with our legal team. jeff, did you -- what did you think overall of dershowitz's argument? >> i thought it was very dense. i thought it was hard to follow, frankly. but that argument is a very powerful one and a very helpful one to the president. roger wicker already said today, well, based on what professor dershowitz said, we don't need to hear from bolton or any witnesses because it is irrell rant. the charge itself, this is why
