here with reaction, former florida attorney general pam bondi, florida congressman matt gaetz.am, i'll go to you and your legal expertise. he got the phone records from, what, phone company? >> sean, he needs to tread very carefully. right, attorney-client privilege. what he's doing, and that's why today in the white house, we wrote a letter, pat wrote a letter to nadler saying that nancy pelosi has already predetermined guilt. she's ordered them to go ahead with articles of impeachment, so why in the world would we participate in any of this sham? they need to drop it now. but if they don't, we wrote in our letter, you know what? if you don't do it fast, get it to the senate, where we can have a fair trial, because you know who we want to call? adam schiff. we want to call the whistleblower, and we want to call hunter biden, and don't you find it interesting, sean, that adam schiff won't even be presenting his report. he's having the lawyer, counsel do it instead of him. i wonder why he doesn't want to testify? ken starr presented his report, but adam schiff sure doesn't want

. >> the partisan showdown got personal quickly when trump ally matt gaetz, republican of florida, broughtp hunter biden's job with the ukrainian gas company, burisma, and his history of substance abuse. >> and i don't want to make light of anybody's substance abuse issues. i know the president is working real hard to solve those throughout the country, but it's a little hard to believe that burisma hired hunter biden to resolve their international disputes when he could not resolve his own dispute with hertz rental car over leaving cocaine and a crack pipe in the car. >> that was enough for one democratic committee member who pointed out gaetz's own past arrest for dui, which then brought a plea for the panel to stay focused on the business at hand. >> i would say that the pot calling kettle black is not something that we should do. i don't know -- [ laughter ] i don't know what members, if any, have had any problems with substance abuse, been busted in dui. i don't know. but if i did, i wouldn't raise it against anyone on this committee. >> there are issues for the election, and then the

. >> gregg: joining me now for a reaction, republican congressmen matt gaetz and andy biggs. looking at the latest polling data, bernie sanders is gaining momentum big time. and he is, for example neck and neck and may win iowa, he is a head substantially in new hampshire and boy, his fund-raising is taking off while elizabeth warren is tanking and all of a sudden, they will be forced back to washington in january off of the campaign trail with a senate impeachment trial. >> perhaps elizabeth warren's decreases in revenue correspond to her campaign not wanting to pay her wealth tax. but i think the bernie sanders ascension in the polls is a sign the venezuela wing of the democratic party is showing a little life here. you just got to wonder, gregg, who will win this on the democratic primary? you got joe biden as the blundering gas machine that he is. you've got kind of the weekend at bernie sanders campaign trudging along but gaining momentum and then elizabeth warren who has had her ebbs and flows. i don't see a winner in the field yet. >> gregg: you know, congressman biggs

it was either matt gaetz or jim jordan or collins. these folks yell because that is all they have is hatred and yelling. and the democrats -- look, i would love for someone to correct me if i'm wrong. i don't remember a single democrat in the last few weeks on house judiciary or house intel who raised his voice, who shouted, who disparaged either a witness or one of their colleagues. and they're doing it because that's all they got, and let's also be clear about something. it's not just for the audience of one. yes, they all make sure to say what donald trump wants them to say so they can get invited to baseball games. they are also doing it for their larger audience. let's not pretend that the republican party and what it has become does not like to see their representatives being exactly that way. this is not just a matter of donald trump. >> let me hold you right there. stay right there. don't go anywhere. coming up, as the house gets ready for its vote this week, new numbers show more americans may be getting onboard the impeachme

. >> martha: davis to cellini and matt gaetz both members of the house judiciary committee join me tonight. also coming up, george papadopoulos, the young man who really started all of this with a meeting in italy. so what does he think? what does he think about the ig report? he's going away in. byron york with also what's going on and what we have to look forward to in the coming days. first off with david to cellini. good to have you here this evening. about the accusations that this is a rush, this is happening quickly, a piece that came out from politico tonight saying that nancy pelosi at adam schiff was only two who did not want to include the mueller obstruction charge which would have been obstruction of justice so they ended up with something that something had never heard about before which is obstruction of congress. can you explain that back-and-forth? >> the articles of impeachment should focus on the most serious and the present danger of the president of phosphorus conduct. this is the president attempting to coax a foreign leader to rig the election in his favor. this is e
