joining us, ed rollins, fox business contributor and "new york post" columnist michael goodwin. good to have you both here. let's start with your assessment of the nikki haley revelations that tillerson and kelly were trying to subvert the president and look for her assistance. >> i don't know what assistance she could have given other than a p.r. perspective. at the end of the day she is not a decision maker. she deals with foreign nations and casts votes. but she doesn't make the decisions on the votes. to me it's a strange story and disturbing story. equally as important. what are the issues they were arguing about. i assume they weren't winning their way with trump and the secretary of state and chief of staff of the white house are not going to win with nicky or 20 other people in the cabinet. >> i'm also reminded of the rod rosenstein story, the allegations he talked bin joking the 25th amendment. i would also draw a distinction between rex tillerson and general john kelly. tillerson was well known for going around the country bad mouthing the president. kelly's response t

ainsley: michael goodwin in the article calls it a public magic show.he calls it a phony show trial. brian: you can win a trial and lose the people. if you feel you scored more points legally but the american people said unfair, don't like line of questioning, no idea where you're going at, legally win the case the jury, right the jury is the people. if they see a process more important than what kent and taylor says and what the ambassador says on friday, if it is dubbed unfair, the people you want to impress, the independents, undecideds will check out. so far not food for congressional democrats and handling of the impeachment inquiry for the last seven weeks. 52% when asked say very or somewhat, they say handled it or very, somewhat badly. 48% say various, somewhat good. they go in down four percentage points. in this country there are more democrats than republicans. steve: i got to feeling if you don't like the president you think democrats do a great job. if you support the president you think the republicans took charge. ainsley: there will be -

neil: making his final appearance, michael goodwin.christmas music, christmas movies, all of this, it is what it is but it seems to me earlier and earlier, just to reinforce the point now the great debate over whether you will be open thanksgiving day itself, as bed, bath & beyond says we will be open that day, not just coming in later, we will be open tall day. >> i just reinforce how important this time of year is for retailers. it's huge and they are trying to extend it. but the deals, they are already coming out with pretty attractive deals already. neil: you think goodwin would be concerned about that. >> to me, it underscores the bigger picture that the consumer whose balance sheet is in good shape, but they need to be enticed to buy things. we are not seeing a lot of consumers take on debt to consume. neil: are you buying that 4% to 5% sale increase over last year? >> somewhere in there. i would say maybe 3% to 4%. again, you have a consumer confidence is still up here. we have equity markets making new highs. labor market is st

fox news contributor, "new york post" columnist michael goodwin joins us right now. want a trial which the president said here. >> he did say that here. i think it is the quote of the year, when you think about it, steve. the president of the united states saying i want a trial. but then you layer in all the other events around it. ramifications of a impeachment trial during an election year. two other presidents who were impeached never had to face voters again. andrew johnson in 1868 did not get his party's nomination. bill clinton won his second term beef impeachment. this is a unique set of circumstances and the president welcomes it. i think he is crazy like a fox on this. steve: one of the things the president and his supporters have said, in this house thing i'm not getting due process. >> right. >> my lawyer can't be there. i don't get to call witnesses. in the senate trial they can call people like adam schiff, joe biden, hunter biden, the whistleblower's lawyers, who knows. >> starts out the president will have home field advantage in the senate, 53 republi

here is michael goodwin's headline. bloomberg is the great centrist hope. i don't know how to skip iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and others tried and failed miserably and early. >> we have seen this with other parties as well in previous elections. primary campaign starts, there is a big field, party leaders say this is great, our candidates are so great it is like an embarrassment of riches. six months later they're saying isn't there somebody who can come in and save us from all of this? so there is a group of candidates who have been campaigning for six months who have made the long march through iowa, new hampshire and south carolina and they aren't going to go away. they don't believe and a lot of party leaders say someone can walz in and i'm rich and be able to enter this race. on the other hand, there are weaknesses at the top of the democratic party where candidates have embraced super progressive positions like medicare for all, like free college, like a wealth tax, like open borders and there are worries that in a general election one-on-one
