in fact, kellyanne conway, the counselor to the president this morning, scoffed at the idea that the white house would pass this evidence along to congress. she argued that democrats would still be unsatisfied. she also laughed off this resolution from house speaker nancy pelosi to try to limit some of the president's war powers. she effectively argued that democrats are trying to make the president weaker on foreign policy. now, president trump himself late last night on twitter sort of rebuking congress' role in all of this as well. take a look at this tweet, these media posts will serve as notification to the united states congress that should iran strike any u.s. person or target, the united states will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner. such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless. on the question of attacking iranian cultural sites, kellyanne was also asked about that. she tried to recast them as legitimate targets saying some iranian cultural sites are also military sites and she emphasized what we heard from secretary of st

iran will never have a nuclear weapon and this is astonishing given the fact that his counselor kellyanne conway speaking to reporters in the last couple of hours says despite all of this there is optimism at the white house that there can be a renegotiated agreement with iran to limit its nuclear program this is unusual because iran said just a day or so ago that in fact it's retreating from the pact that the united states pulled out of that 2015 agreement to limit its nuclear program and we also have to in the context of all the events that have been taking place it doesn't seem like there's any room for negotiating right now but that's what the white house has been saying officially and and this comes on the heels of even remarkable statements regarding cultural sites inside iran are important to iranians the u.s. president has been threatening to target those sites if in fact iran in any way retaliate for the u.s. killing of general sort of money now this is something that the u.n. secretary the u.n. security council in fact has said is a violation of international law and certainly there's

. >> we're going to talk to kellyanne conway in just a few minutes, katie pavlich it would seem that is part of their strategy, they want to move this along and they don't necessarily want to spend a lot of time going over territory they feel like is going on before. >> they feel like it's the obligation of house managers and democrats to make their case and they don't have to prove their innocence, the democrats have to prove why they believe the president should be removed from congress. adam schiff did get closer to why we are here and why the impeachment inquiry in the house is open in the first place and that is because democrats believe the july 25th phone call was improper but if you read a transcript, the president urged earlier today the white house has argued for months now, it was a friendly phone call. there may be some questionable sentences about what the president is exactly asking for but you go to the u.n. in september and president zelensky says there was no pressure. adam schiff made the argument ukraine was in dire straits and this was a dire situation without u.s

and kellyanne conway is one step further in the gaslighting olympic, it is a hypothetical, and it iscause he said that he would hit 52 sites, and cultural sites and very fast and hard and that is a war crime, and the irony is saying that soleimani is a war criminal and this is why he had to be hit, and that is president trump is agitating people, and he said he would take out the families of terrorists and the women and children, and maya angelou did say it best, when someone tells you who they are, believe it. take the oil, and then kill the families of terrorists. >> and the cycle is one, that he says inflammatory thing, and then the officials say that he did not say what he did say, and then three, he totally said it and meant it and it is a challenging position for the people in the administration and going fourth the limb and he saws it out from behind. >> that is not uncommon and very true. in this case, there are one of two things that could have happened, either presented with an important sites in iran and looks at all of them as potential targets if they were not part of th

counselor to the president, kellyanne conway that democrats are undercutting themse inting here is kellyanne conway. >> i'm very disappointed that the resolution that was passed this week was trying to curb the president's powers as commander in chief. i also think that 2020 crowd as you were relating didn't know what to do with this because their stock, nobody cares what they say. they don't pay taepgs to the town halls any more and feel the burn again and if you're in foreign policy, we know what your foreign policy is, they are becoming apologetic to the bad guys. butt buttigieg, what did he want them to do? invite soleimani to the cave? >> reporter: she is conservative in her criticism with democrats and her case there. it is part of the tension that the white house is using to try to put the spotlight on democrats and some of their comments related to general soleimani and the war powers act and that sort of political back and forth. at the same time, that gets some of the attention off of the president's handle being of the original strike. we saw president trump use twitter to speak d

it doesn't work that way and in fact this is in the last few moments the president's adviser kellyanne conway speaking to reporters at the white house again defending this threat by the president saying that. the actions that the united states will take if it does take those actions will be with in the law iran has many strategic and military sites so being a bit more vague about what those sites might be but again defending the president's argument and action should he choose to take it meanwhile can believe we know the house speaker nancy pelosi wants to introduce vote on this resolution this week i mean how likely is it that congress will be able to to limit the president's actions in regards to iran. well it's important to remember that this is a co-equal branch of government it does have the constitutional power but in recent years and with previous administrations not just this one we've seen congress pulling back on that oversight responsibility now as we've seen the trumpet ministration taking this action in recent days escalating the tensions with iran we see an attempt to re as surt

big start to 2020, kellyanne conway at the white house.ne of the stars of the squad, congresswoman omar said killing iran's top general gave her ptsd. >> i feel ill a little bit. i find myself being tricken with ptsd. the president of the united states has been goading iran into war. jesse: no he hasn't. jesse: she was caught on camera joke and laughing during an inappropriate moment when sheila jackson-lee was memorializing the thousands of american soldiers who died in the middle east. joining me now, radio talk show host larry elder and the founder of bringing aer u.com. dennis bringin prager. she is complaining about sanctions on the iranians, but she wants sanctions on israelis. >> it was discovered 2 thousand0 years ago. there is a famous phrase. those who are kind to the cruel will be cruel to the kind. that is exactly what she is doing. so sanctions on the kind, israel, but no sanctions on the cruel iraq. she is a living embodiment of a 2,000ing-year-old human rule. what do you think dropped that mentality that you are seeing comin

let's bring in counselor kellyanne conway. good to have you. >> good evening. >> thank you for taking the time. so, let's deal a little bit with process and then to substance. the senate is saying, we don't know if we want witnesses. if the president has people at the top who haven't testified yet, who supposedly clear him of any wrongdoing, why wouldn't you want them, in the face of this new information, why wouldn't you want it vetted for people? >> well, christopher, thanks for having me. first of all, that's not how american jurisprudence works. you don't try to prove your innocence if you've not been proven guilty. and we don't need to present witnesses. maybe they will, maybe they won't. we'll respect the process in the senate however it unfolds. we do feel the senate process will be, one, more fair to the president than whatever that was in the house. and second, more familiar to the public. so most americans are not familiar to whatever make it up as you go along process that happened in the house, whether it was adam

would violate international law but just the last couple of hours the counselor to the president kellyanne conway saying that in fact this is something that the white house says it could direct the u.s. military to do given the fact 52 is very significant to the white house to the united states it is symbolizes the 52 diplomats that back in 1979 were detained by iran so the president continuing to double down on some of these very strong statements of threats towards iran even something that the the general population tends to support there is if this american hubris that tends to exist and the president certainly continues to sort of exemplify that politicians in washington getting back to work today that the the christmas new year break house speaker nancy pelosi has said that the house is going to introduce a vote on a war powers resolution this week what is she hoping that's going to achieve. well essentially what congress is trying to do is something that we've seen them doing a lot less of in previous administrations now trying to reassert its authority its congressional oversight when it c

we heard from the counselor to the president, kellyanne conway. she told reporters some cultural sites are military sites. what you're seeing is the administration trying to recast these cultural sites as legitimate targets. she cited secretary pompeo on the talk shows saying the united states would act within the law in responding to any iranian aggression. however, we should point out pompeo said trump wasn't considering cultural sites as targets. the president himself contradigging secretary of state being adamant about this speaking to reporters on "air force one" headed back to d.c. to west palm beach, his estate at mar-a-lago. the president saying iran committed war crimes, too. they are allowed to kill our people, torture and maim our people. they are allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people and we're not allowed to blow up their cultural sites. it doesn't work that way. nancy pelosi indicating she would present to caucus a resolution to limit some of the president's war powers. kellyanne conway scoffing at that saying the presi

it's a politicized issue. >> sandra: joining us now, kellyanne conway, counselor to the present.good morning, and welcome to ed. >> sandra: yes, we are happy to have appeared this morning. give us some idea of what we are about to see as the white house brief is to expect today. >> i was of the legal team upstairs, they are confident unprepared and anxious to do what was denied the president in the proceedings. argue the facts. people are saying we're only talking about process, that's not true. they will have a full on defense, which will be a great offense on the facts, on the substance here. the president was denied witnesses in the house proceeding. if the democrats really want to go down that road, we will have reciprocity. >> sandra: you just met with the legal team? >> i just saw them upstairs, in the office next door to me. sandra, the fact that the democrats want to go down the road of possible witnesses is what our grandmothers always told us. be careful what you wish for. >> sandra: what does that mean? >> witness number one would have to be hunter biden. how else woul

kellyanne conway said she does respect general kelly. house says that we don't knoly exahat john bolton has said but what we want to do is not attack the people who say ey believe john bolton. judy: judy lisa, givenis all how will democrats of approach this for the next few days? lisa: i get a sense of discouragement fromosome senate ats behind closed doors but they also say that the fight is not over. if they do le the vote on witnesses expected tomorrow around dinnertime, wthen expect the democrats to begin filing a series of motions at some point. one opportunity could be the himself.o acquit the president it gets a little weedy but that motion is amendable. they can propose as many and mamendments on y topics as they want including john bolton. also, on the horizon, we see nancy pelosi said she does not believe there would be an acquittal without any witnesses and that appears to be filterneg into the wes. and angus king says it would not be an exoneration without witnesses. defining what has happened could be another division in the

earlier, i spoke to counselor to the president, kellyanne conway for her reaction and here's what a shead to say. here's what i'm thinking to myself this president investigated more than any politician in u.s. history if you think about it he's been investigated by british intelligence. foreign ambassadors, he's been investigated by the the fbi, the d.o.j., senate, the house, e he's been investigated by u.s. attorneys -- they spied on his campaign they put spies inside his campaign and they wiretapped it. oh and i forgot investigated by a special counsel, and then he asked to look into one person -- joe biden a democrat, and he gets impeached for that. it is insane. have you true as president likes to say jesse he's been harassed with intimidations from basically the time he came down escalator why? because people didn't want him to run they certainly didn't want him to win. i think more importantly than not wanting hill to win are all of the people who did not expect him to win. should they really still try to fall out of their stooper from not seeing what was obvious to many other peo

this with the impeachment trial set to resume tomorrow, white house counsel kellyanne conway weighing in after speaking with the president's defense team this morning. >> what you look forward to is arguing the facts. they look forward to taking these two articles of impeachment, which are abuse of power, and obstruction of congress, and saying this is the first time in american history that a president hasn't even been charged with a crime in the articles of impeachment. >> this is "outnumbered," i'm dagen mcdowell in here today fox news contributor lisa boot lisa boothe, kennedy, iona college gaels a professor and david webb, host of reality check on fox nation. you, sir, are outnumbered. we will get back to you and moments and have more from the couch but first let's go to fox news congressional correspondent chad pergram life on capitol hill. >> a lot going on in the past hour here and capitol hill. the white house has submitted its trial brief for the impeachment trial and i will read a couple of items that have just come in. the brief from the white house says "that the house of

joining when i was white house counsel or kellyanne conway. does the white house consider this a leak of classified information? >> people should not be able to use classified information. i have not seen the manuscript or seen the book, i think adam schiff or the managers are stuck holding a book we haven't seen, we win and it could be wrapped up by this weekend. i can't believe how people are like ants on a sugar cube every time there's a new person -- you know with the bombshell interview with john bolton was, it happened on august 29th. i think it's terrific, he talks about the call, that president trump has with president zelensky. >> i will be meeting president zelensky, he and president trump have spoken twice, the president called to congratulate president zelensky on his election and on his success in the parliamentary election, they were warm and cordial calls, they were hoping they would be able to meet in warsaw after a few minutes together. >> laura: we have an interesting flashback from 2010 when john bolton was talking about som

god bless you. >> thank you kellyanne conway. to think republicans, what they have been doing is incredible. republican leadership in this country, we are winning, winning, winning like never before. we are winning again, we have a party that is a very different party, a much stronger party, a much more inclusive party, we have a party that we love, we have a party that has the votes. we have a party like they have never had before. the republican party respected again. and i have to say this, america is winning again, america is thriving again like never befo before. so, since the election, we have created 7 million new jobs. the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any previous administrati administration, listen to this one, in united states history. that's a good fact, the lowest in history. thank you. we have a great veteran up here, we love you the veterans. are we doing good for the veterans? thank you. african-american, hispanic-american, and asian american unemployment rates have reached the lo

here's kellyanne conway. >> i'm very disappointed that the resolution that was passed was trying to curb the president's powers as commander in chief rather than them getting behind ted cruz thanking our military. when osama bin laden was taken out and killed all 100 senators supported a similarly structured resolution. >> reporter: so what we're hearing from the white house and administration is their view that the president should be given credit for taking this action along with all the military personnel who carried it out. they're using those historical references like the osama bin laden raid and the different reaction there to say this has become too politicized. that's the argument they're making. some democrats and republicans on capitol hill are saying which branch should have the authority to be debated. >> you mentioned president trump taking a different approach and showing support for iranian protestors. we heard from bobby ghosh saying that wasn't earning any favor there. thank you for your analysis. >>> in a new interview this weekend. >> robert o'brien tells axios that i

face sanctions and the president says go face sanctions if that does happen so let's bring in kellyanne conwayat or what's the president's reaction? >> well the president knows he was on solid ground, constitutionally, legally strategically, to have taken out one of the world's best-known most blood-thirsty and brutal terrorist and the world is safer because soleimani is now dead. this president waited three years. we've had soleimani in our sight s for just as long as we've been here, obviously previous administrations did as well, but i'd like to quote none other than former dhs secretary under president obama, jeh johnson who yesterday said the president as commander-in-chief has ample domestic legal authority to have taken this lawful military objective to execute on the lawful military objective and you've got former head of command and former cia director yesterday, saying that you cannot overstate the significance, of taking out soleimani and that when he was over there, with our troop, we didn't see much of soleimani. he's been more brazen and been more visible and he got caught in the

that was white house counselor kellyanne conway suggesting that dr.ther king, jr., on the day that he's honored, would be against trump's impeachment. that's an interesting projection. wonder how she figured that one out. she said mr. trump spent most of the day preparing for a trip to davos, switzerland, the forum where he is expected to rub shoulders with world leaders. to look good is the idea of it. he's set to go to davos o tomorrow, the same day the impeachment begins. according to the washington post, president trump urged majority leader mitch mcconnell, the top republican, to use his power to end the trial before it began. that was the story they got. that was the plan. no trial at all. dismissed immediately. well, two people with knowledge of the exchange tell the post, "the washington post," that mcconnell dismissed that idea saying it would split senate republicans and it's better to be unified than divided. that's probably savvy. ultimately mcconnell did not include a motion to dismiss in the resolution that came out today. sew doesn't pl

killing of general solo monny in fact just the opposite again the counter kellyanne conway defending that saying that this would be within the law but unclear whose law she's talking about because the consensus around the world globally as there is concern about potentially the targeting of these sites is that this would be an action if the u.s. were to target that would be in violation of international law committee many thanks indeed so well on capitol hill how did you cast troop politicians back after the christmas and new year break today u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi has said that the house is going to introduce those on a war powers resolution this week what is she hoping that's going to change. that's right adrian and speaker pelosi she has been critical about the strong strike that killed general soleimani she's called it disproportionate provocative and even possibly illegal because president trump took this action without consulting congress the us constitution does say that the power to make war is a power that is divided between the executive and legislative branches an

well, kellyanne conway, i appreciate her being against me.[laughter] me andhey have slandered my only surviving son. , i cannot hold grudges. i mean that sincerely. my granddaughter is with me tonight, today and she is campaigning with me and her name is finnegan biden. she is a junior in college in philadelphia and she is on the trail with me and she and -- i have taught all my kids and my five ran kids that a president has to be able to fight the president cannot hold grudges. a president has to heal. this is not about me or my family, this is about you, the american people. not about me. and i really mean that. that is why we have to think about your future. yourildren's future and children's future. and that is why we need more than just plans and proposals. we need someone that can actually get some of it done. some of it passed. i will put my record on the line with all of the nominees running as my record of delivering big things, consequential democratic wins up and down the line and against anyone in this race. i was a guy that worke

impeachment to the us senate triggering the president's trial the counselor to the president kellyanne conway says president trump isn't worried the news a going nowhere. >>he want to feel full and fair trial but that doesn't mean a lengthy one. those articles of impeachment are very thick in washington, alexandra leigh mount. >>our 4 zone forecast i want to get a check of weather around the bay area and more and you're talking about a series of storms this week. yeah kind of on and off all week long and these are cold systems that are going to be affecting the bay area so the set you haven't got your cold-weather gear i get it out you couldn't even it's going to be a chilly night out there tonight, very cold temperatures settling in now we'll see the storms dive in right now the gulf of alaska right now it is dry across the state not going to say that way for very long. they are looking good right now clear skies but that dry air is allowing the temperatures to drop off in a hurry outside right now by tomorrow, we'll notice those clouds on the increase partly cloudy into san francisco about

that well there has been statements coming from the defense secretary for example his advisor kellyanne conway even the secretary of state my pump aoe that there is room for diplomacy donald trump less than 24 hours ago from the oval office was continuing to use combative tones toward iran and this is what the problem has been for this president he doesn't always take the advice of his advisers now this is also something that is irritating members of congress we know that there will be briefings that are expected to take place by some of the key members of the mistreated team that will be briefing these members the argument from some democrats is that they simply have not gotten enough information so a letter has been sent the to the department of defense demanding more we also know in the midst of all this the president does have some solid supporters on capitol hill one of them is senator lindsey graham a republican the president's republican party and he is defending the president's actions saying that it was necessary given the aggression from iran the missiles were launched from iran at t

howie: sometimes an official keeps side-stepping and kellyanne conway has no allegations an it's thelists to keep asking the question, republican senator martha mcsally posted video herself after brief dust-up with reporter. howie: that was perfectly fair and polite question. >> it was disgusting and she should know better. >> veteran, amazing record of service, makes the stunt much more pathetic. howie: mcsally did not back off in sit-down with laura engram. >> senator, do you regret what you said? >> no, laura, i do not and i said it again, actually as i went in. these cnn reporters, but many of them around the capitol, they are so bias. >> what about the question, do you want witnesses? do you want witnesses yes or no, why aren't are you telling us? >> we will vote on tuesday to start the trial and let them present the -- >> how are you going to vote on the motion for more witnesses? >> we are going to get to that. >> mcsally who is fundraising off the incident still didn't answer the question and while cnn's attacks may be over the top, he was just doing his job. >> laura logan c

messages coming out of the trumpet ministration particularly when you remember about 24 hours ago kellyanne conway the counselor to president trump said that the top administration was still open to negotiating with iran to even talking about a new agreement to limit its nuclear program 1 it doesn't seem to make much sense or is it odds with the fact that if they were willing to negotiate why they are not issuing this visa so that any kind of discussion can take place so we'll be watching carefully as might pump a addresses reporters in about an hour's time and kimberly meanwhile the trumpet ministration is expected to brief congress of. the money would look you tell us about. yeah it's looking like wednesday afternoon unless that has been moved up it's been a bit vague at times but the latest information we have is that both the house of representatives controlled by democrats and the u.s. senate controlled by republicans will both receive what's known as a hands on briefing this will be a detailed briefing not only the arguments about why the trumpet ministrations says that it conducted the kill

go on fox and then everybody quotes them from what they say, stephanie, make one exception of kellyanne conwaynn, i give her credit for that. >> that's true. >> in a narrow sense it is working for them. in a broader sense it is not. one of the things we wrote in the letter to the president was having these briefings keep the government accountable and keeps the government communicating. the messaging around iran strike was a disaster. people were going out and there was not a briefing at the pentagon and a briefing tat the white house where you are given a regular briefing. in the long-term, they are hurt by this. there is a short term right in front of you benefit that where they get to longer to fox and oam and other conservative outlets. >> to you, sarah, i am curious of the trial, what do you do? is it about extra snacks or sensible shoes? what's the plan? >> i always wear sensible shoes on capitol hill. yeah, extra snacks and extra staff and we have been a lot on this press access the last few days, i would like to get back d focus on what's happening in the shame b chamber. >> coming up,

. >> george conway, husband of kellyanne conway said she should choose to tweak her announcement andend only the second article on obstruction for trial or she could transmit them both along with a house-approved provision advising the senate that if it fails to obtain quality witnesses and documents, the house will reopen the investigation into article i and subpoena the material itself. is that a good move? >> it could be. iteresting legal move. the house could still open investigations. all this talk about john bolton, the house could still call him and issue a subpoena for him. we're placing a lot of stock, will mitch mcconnell break and call john bolton. i don't know if that's the case. to push back on alison's points, she makes great points here. as long as we are talking about this -- the speaker said this this morning -- as long as we are talking about witnesses and john bolton, you are putting senators like susan collins and others facing election later this year in a tough spot. the last thing they want or need is cast the vote on someone like -- in effect raising their han

. >> sandra: that was counselor to the president, kellyanne conway just a few moments ago.risten soltis anderson, fox news contributor. jason nichols, professor of african-american studies at the university of maryland. and ed rollins, also a fox news contributor. good morning to all of you and welcome. first of all, looking back to you this moment, how you can look back at what we are about to see. >> i was part of the nixon administration. and there were real crimes at that point. 39 people ended up going to jail. obviously, there was a crime. a lying under oath. in this case, they have still not made a case for a crime, so the differences of the president will now have very significant lawyers to rule on these challenges. so i think you are going to find a shift in those guys. people have heard all of their stories. there could be a fatigue factor. my sense is that it will be quick. to those who want to take trump out. >> if you take a look at the way that upholds have not moved, they are going to pursue impeachment proceedings, it is a little bit bizarre that you had de

white house counsel kellyanne conway dismissed that as nothing more than politics. listen here. >> it's a partisan action by schumer and menendez. they know better. they've been in the senate a long time, too long for each of them. they know this week there will be congressional briefings and they're not restricted. >> president trump thumbing his nose at democratic attempts to tie his hands. he said yesterday -- >> so a real showdown shaping up between the administration and congress. at the same time, congress fully planning to brief congress what happened last friday and what may lie ahead in the days and weeks to come. john? >> trace: thanks. for more reaction, let's bring in senator john cornyn a member of the senate judiciary and intelligence committees. senator, i'm not sure if you heard john roberts talking there. i want your take on senator schumer and menendez, your democratic colleagues, calling for the president to declassify the war powers notification. in essence, they want the president to prove that he really was trying to stop a war, not start one.

for the democrats to be criticizing the president based on that and as kellyanne conway this morninging the same thing -- they can criticize all they want. the american people appreciate the work he's done domestically and the foreign policy as well. lou: isn't it strange, on its face, the absurdity of this impeachment inquiry, farce, theater, whatever you want to call it, it persists. and the president might be seeking your help here if this goes forward in the senate. kevin mccarthy, the minority leader actually saying he would like to see a fellow by the name of jordan, another collins and ratcliff help the white house, if there are to be impeachment proceedings. your thoughts? >> well, i appreciate kevin's leadership throughout this ordeal. he's done an outstanding job of keeping our conference focused on the truth and the facts and on helping the president. i think that helped us in the whole argument and debate. when pelosi announced this thing on september 24th that she was going to move down this road, she never expected one democrat to vote with us, another democrat to vote

and kellyanne conway said similar this morning, the president did not say -- he not only said once, but twice. and so of course those are the questions that are coming out of this and now with the president threatening to sanction iraq, it really is going back to what the big question was on thursdays a news of this strike was coming out and the pentagon confirmed that yes tu.s. was behind. and what is the larger strategy and will the trump administration be more forth coming about that strategy. so those are the questions that is surrounding the president and he is returning to washington, he's been gone for two weeks and he has not only this potential conflict with iran, but also waiting for his judgment to go on trial in the senate. when it will even start. so needless to say, there is a lot going on back here at the white house. >> a lot, a lot. and as the trump administration continues to cite this imminent threat, the secretary of state is also blaming the obama administration for the escalating tensions in this part of the world. >> we're trying to restore deterrence that results

it doesn't not my stomach, kellyanne conway, from the white house stopping by. look, i think they are desperately puffing up the historic nature of this. of course it is historic. it doesn't happen very often. but it's historic because it is. the first partisan impeachment of this type, with no unity in o the senate for clearly procedures or resolutions, that is not going to be possible, as they had with clinton. but there desperately trying to puffed this up.es >> there is a tinge of sanctimony, not, not solemnity. they also failed to bring the public along, public opinion,he and failed to bring republicans along in the house, and now, they are in the senate with this very partisan, two articles of impeachment that don't really say anything, put them on post-it note. they could have sent a post-it note, not the walk across the halls of congress. we respect the process in the senate, laura. we respect to the fact that leader mcconnell and others are going to engage. i will tell you something about white house counsel and his team. they are ready.ac they are prep
