mcclintock and murphy and eisenhower they agreed this was the smart way out of the crisis. one g.i.as killed in the intervention by sniper fire from the muslims but by octobe october 25th 1958 the last american troops in the intervention had gone home. the civil war was over and operation was more or less a success story. in one case it's all about eisenhower in his eight years in power avoided sending troops into combat he did not intervene in the struggle between mainland communism and generally avoided sending troops into combat which is understandable and as a general eisenhower never fought in combat himself but saw the results much more than most people did and he wanted to avoid that. july 141958 the one time in those eight years when he essentially panicked and decided to do something else. murphy went on to baghdad to discover he was in iraq he nationalist no interest to be upon of egypt or the soviet union and interested in running his own country. there several things to learn but first the middle east is a very unpredictable place anybody who tells you they know what wil

the american ambassador on the scene, robert mcclintock, who advise eisenhower not to send the troopsver and over again, including on the 14th, came up with the brilliant solution. he went to the commander of the lebanese army, a christian and said, why don't we pretend that you have invited the american succumbing to have stabilized the situation, and that the americans are not here as an intervention but they are here as the guests of the lebanese army as their host? he went along with this fiction, and for the remainder of the americans to plummet in beirut, technically, the marines were being escorted from place to place by patrols of the lebanese army. it was a fiction, but it avoided a showdown. mcclintock also got the assistance of the the under secretary of the state, actually very interesting, the number three in the state department was sent out by eisenhower with instructions to tell mcclintock to get on the program. the program is to support chamoun. he got on the grant any said, i'm going to support the ambassadors at first to try to defuse the conflict in together the un

congressman john ratcliffe and california congressman tom mcclintock and both sit on the house judiciary committee. i have the honor, pleasure of serving with them and the previous congress. gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight. congressman ratcliff i want to go to you first. i thought you had one of the great best points yesterday on the floor of the house. and as you compare the contrast between what the house democrats were saying and what the hell's democrats were saying. share that with us. >> well over and over again, jason, we heard house democrats saying the evidence is overwhelming. clear, undisputed but we have everything we could possibly need to impeach donald trump right now. and at the same time, you heard chuck schumer over in the senate say again, we need more evidence and more testimony for the trial in the senate. he knew he was being handed a house of cards. and i think that nancy pelosi knew that as well, which is why she is slamming the brakes on sending the articles of

congressman mcclintock, i wish i had a chance to go back to you as well. i have to wish you both a merry christmas. thank you again for joining us tonight. again, thanks to both of you. tonight, even democrats are starting to realize impeachment is not only bad for the country, ft also a political nightmare. the infighting has officially begun. and last night's democratic debate, andrew yang called out his own party. watch this. >> the media did not do his favorite by the recent donald trump became the president and the first place.ri if you turn onir cable networks, news today, you would think he is the president because of some combination of russia, racism, facebook, hillary clinton, and emails, all mixed together. but americans around the country no different. country know different. the more we act like donald trump is the cause of our problems, the more americans lose trust that we can see what is going on in the communities and solve those problems. what we have to do is we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment, which strikes many americans l

i want to bring in republican congressman tom mcclintock of california, sointsz the judiciary committeelaugh over here over some names. that's life in the fast lane. let's talk about what's going on. first of all, what are you going to be looking for this morning? >> well, most importantly is the question of the fact that the republicans have requested a number of witnesses that have been rejected by the democrat majority. republicans requested nine witnesses, schiff vetoed six of those. we requested a minority day, which is a right that the minority has. one of a few rights the minority has in the house is to ask for a day of hearings with their witnesses. that's not open to debate, it's not open to approval. that is a right in the rules. that's so far been rejected by nadler, at least he's refused to acknowledge it. in a democracy n a free society, the prosecution does not get to choose which witnesses the defense calls. that has been one of the big defect with these proceedings. >> yeah. and you heard dana bash just say, she asked jerry nadler about that minority hearing yesterday an
