always. >> laura: the media, they were going crazy with the conch meant that comment that lee zeldinf the house foreign affairs committee, matt gaetz, his fiery speech, steve scalise, let's start with you for the democrats are lost in the wilderness as he pointed out in the angle. isn't the damage done, if you are looking at what happened to the president, his family, his legacy, it was a smear and run >> a lot of the damage was done to the democrats for the oil field that when they get to the polls next november. to vote for these articles in the trump district sent to washington to work with the president, not to impeach him. i think the damage has been done for them and many of them are not going to be here to serve with us in january 2020. >> laura: it's like having a big press conference saying, i'm going to charge him with, you know, robbery, armed robbery. and you never bring the case. >> it's part of the pattern, laura. first they had to hide the evidence in the bunker of the basement, they had to release selected excerpts out of context of the transcripts. actually have live

so, i was mentioning to my friends, lee zeldin, earlier today -- my friend, lee zeldin, earlier today, that if the democrats who were pushing through this demand for a two-state solution were successful, then they could istorically stand with neville chamberlain and say as did he, this two-state solution means peace in our time, when actually it would just be a precursor to the killing of millions of jews. we don't need a two-state solution where one of those states is still intent on wiping israel off the map. it made no sense. and the people on this side of the aisle, most everybody, i think, voted against it. not that they were against peace in the middle east, of course we are. but we've also heard yesterday, well, actually, wednesday, yesterday and today, a lot made about a comment by president trump when he was talking about whether he would fire mr. mueller, robert mueller, as special counsel. this article by charlie spearing, december 6, points out that here's what the president said. article 1 is a legislative branch. article 2 is the executive branch. and the president said,

we have some tweets from lee zeldin. it says the transcript for mark sandy, the only reason he was ever given about the hold on' aid to ukraine was the president's concern about other countries not contributing more to ukraine. he says the definitive answer from omb was entirely about the president's desire to make sure other countries were contributing as well. the democrats will try to turn this into something other than that. what do you hear? >> if you were really super bored the last two weeks and watched every single minute of the impeachment i am question significance held in the house intelligence committee, we actually raised this. this was somebody who actually -- this is the top civil servant that controls the money. if you want a one-stop shop, somebody who had to make this call, this was a very important witness which is why adam schiff and the democrats brought them into the star chamber on a saturday and decided to not release the transcript. i actually brought this up so my colleagues. we said why don't y

republican congressman lee zeldin slamming the piece tweeting "journalists apparently need to do a better job of being democratic hack surrogates according to this gross take. our own brit hume tweeting "because journalists are not simply to report the news without a favor, their mission instead is to convince the public the president should be impeached and removed. good lord." power panel is here, larry elder has national syndicated talk show host and ethan bierman is liberal radio host and cochair of hometown value packed. ethan, what did you think of this article? >> i will agree that i think there is a place to be a little upset about it. objective journalists are supposed to be just that, objective for setting the information in as fair a way as possible. however, we are in the internet age where we have macedonian troll forms pumping out traits wow fake news to the benefit of vladimir putin so how do we get facts and information out when millions of americanized are being flooded with false information? walter cronkite was against the vietnam war and help turn that tide, one of the

steve scalise, lee zeldin, house foreign affairs committee, and andy biggs, let's start with y you.re republicans going to remind nadler of these previous statements? >> i think it is a fair prediction that we will remind him of what we've said in the past and also provide the context for what he has said and compared to what they are doing to this president today. when he thought it was so unfair to president clinton, they gave president clinton so much more due process. >> laura: two and a half weeks to prepare. they drop this dime on trump seven days ago, five days to prepare and they didn't even know the witnesses. now it is like a law seminar tomorrow with three law professors. i feel like i will getting continuing education credit tomorrow. >> that is part of the problem. 19 legal scholars came in last time. this time you have four, three of which are stacked against the president, that it's for sure. >> laura: a lot of people on the left are claiming the reason y'all are complaining is because you can't really make it on the substance. watch. >> they've actually sounded parti

that earned her a sharp rebuke from congressman lee zeldin.resolution by omar has the clai nerve to claim moral equivalency with boycotting israel and boycotting nazi germany. disgraceful. >> the american jewish movements are already praising president trump on this, and more of the conservative ones saying this proof of how pro israel trump is. could also solidify his popularity in israel, especially with the right and center right of that country, represented right now from benjamin netanyahu. >> shannon: yeah, we will see how long that lasts. a lot going on in israel, and we're going to talk about that. leland thank you so much. a record-breaking win for president trump as his 50th applet court judge is affirmed. in california, a law preventing law-abiding citizens from buying ammo. that is coming up. but first, where in the world? back to israel, heading for the third general election in less than a year, with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and challenger benny gantz still unable to build a coalition government by today's deadline. the

ed: i will get to lee zeldin, a frequent guest on the show.as impeachment is backfiring on democrats not just in this new jersey district but around the country. watch. >> 31 house democrats in districts won by donald trump in 2016. those trump voters in those districts, when they were sending these house democrat to washington, when they were voting for them in 2018, they were voting for these house democrats to if to washington to work with the president. not to go to washington to impeach the president. so jeff van drew is someone who wants to be working with his republican colleagues across the aisle. i think this is also indicative of where a lot of voters are across this entire country. hey, this isn't what we want. we want you to be focusing on substantive wins, working with each other to move our country forward. ed: he says that is the mood around the country. pete: listening to voters. that is what jeff van drew is doing. i argue it takes a lot of criticism with all the focus on you to say i'm out. rachel: there is cloakroom, one for

you heard very strong words from lee zeldin, there is lack of leadership. there is news conference bill de blasio was saying after one of these many attacks, we'll hunt you down, you will be prosecuted. what he left out it seems, in the process, when you're first brought in, you're let out on bail on the streets to eventually attack more people. pete: look at jewish hatred, often a precursors to other problems in the society could get worse if you don't attack it at it is source. we have to get answers. >> if you look at tiffany harris, committed one of these hate crims we were talking about previously, says, f-u jews, makes sentiment what she thinks about them. pete: more to the story. we don't have the answers quite yet. there is something deeper that is targeting people. the guy arrested in this attack back in harlem. coming from the city, attack was 25 miles north. something is going on. ed: big story we stay on top of. out on the trail, 2020 politics. remember yesterday we told you how former vice president all of sudden saying no, i'm not going to sup

. >> tucker: congressman lee zeldin of new york, long island, suffolk county, mostly.as been at the center of this debate the last couple weeks. senator, thank you so much for coming on. so, given that this isn't going to result in the removal of the president, and it seems pretty clear, based on several weeks of polling data that it's hurting the democrats, why do you think they are doing this? do you have a theory on that? >> yes. pay back to their activist base. there are people who are getting them these gavels in their hand, that gavel adam schiff holds, that jerry nadler holds, that nancy pelosi holds, they have because of this rabid activist base calling for the president's impeachment since he got elected and was sworn into office. pay back to them. as far as conference politics go, nancy pelosi, her most important vote, any speaker, the most important vote is the vote to become speaker of the house. >> tucker: right. >> she got rolled by the far left of her conference and basically what was the far left of the house democratic conference that took over the dem

nicole: representative lee zeldin saying whistleblower should testify. bad intentions. looks like schiff team told him to pull it. he never actually saw a fire. we want to know who told him there was one. ed: seems reich reasonable question. devin nunez they wanted whistleblower as one of the witnesses, adam schiff said no way, no how. at the beginning of the open hearings a couple hours ago, schiff was pressed by this by various republicans about his own contact with the whistleblower. nicole: i know who it is, i don't know who it is, they contacted my staff, i spoke to him. hard to say what is going on there. bottom line when you think behind closed doors, does muddy the waters a little bit for the general population myself. makes me question why are they keeping this person in protective custody at this point? pete: great way to put it, protective custody, protected by democrats. republicans say you started the whole thing, you have the courage to pull the fire alarm, as lee zeldin did who did you talk to and process. some people feel you're not a whi

lee: congresswoman rasheed talib and congressman lowenthal for taking a bold step in seeking common ground. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. zeldin: thank you, mr. speaker. filing this and tying herself up in knots with all due respect to the majority leader who said there was not a departure in policy towards the end of the obama administration and that i was incorrect, i'd like to point him to house resolution 11 from january, 2017, that he voted in favor of as well as most house democrats included quote whereas on december 23, 2016, the united states permanent representative to united nations disregarded house concurrent resolution 165 and departed from long-standing united states policy by abstaining and permitting united nations security council resolution 2334 to be adopted under chapter 6 of the united nations charter, end quote. that's from a resolution that the majority leader voted in favor of where he personally and many others in this chamber on both sides of the aisle took strong exception with that departure from long-standing u.s. policy with u.n. security council resolution 2334, reversing that once again with the
