here with reaction, devin nunes, jim jordan, mark meadows.l, i don't disagree with a single word the president said, any of you? >> sean, think about this. >> not at all. >> nancy pelosi putting adam schiff in charge of this impeachment inquiry is exactly what jim comey did when he put peter strzok in charge of the trump-russia investigation. someone as biased as adam schiff -- even democrats would agree peter strzok should have never been running that investigation. michael horowitz said he should never have been running that investigation. he's the one who said don't worry, lisa, we will stop trump. nancy pelosi is doing the same thing with putting adam schiff in charge of the investigation. they have already made a determination, they don't care about the facts and the truth and the american people see through it. >> sean: once again, it seems like another boomerang. now, we are going back and i've been saying we need to do this, we are getting back into hillary's rigged investigation, then we are waiting on the fisa report from the inspec

nunes cannot. why is mr. nunes denied sews same rights that the chairman has? i yield. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman for yielding. he hasn't answered my question yet but i will assert again, we are operating -- mr. scalise: he's denied that. mr. hoyer: under the rules that the republicans adopted in their rules package and applied to our side when we were in the minority, madam speaker. the same rules that they imposed upon us they are now complaining about. because they don't think they were fair. apparently they thought they were fair when they were applied to the democratic minority. but apparently now those same rules, their rules, they adopted, they voted for, are not now fair because they are in the minority. very frankly, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. what's fair to the goose is fair to the gander. they are your rules, mr. scalise. you ask your counsel, we adopted your rules on the issuing of subpoenas. your rules. mr. scalise: with all due respect, the goose is being cooked behind closed doors because you started an impeachment inquiry by decr

would you trust devin nunes with the identity of the whistle-blower?in nunes with the identity of the whistle-blower, hence is the problem. mike rodgers is not the chairman of the intelligence committee right now. it might be different if he was. right now democrats are looking at how people like devin nunes and others on the committee, not every member but certainly enough members that they're concerned that they would choose donald trump over the protections and the safety of the whistle-blower. now i do think to be fair there are other factors here as well. including they don't want to chill this for other potential whistle-blowers or other people who come forward. they want to show they can protect the person, keep their identity safe or do everything they can so that other people may come forward. that is a factor here as well. >> and precedent is being set. if this happens against republicans, then when republicans take the house back, will they do it to democrats, something everybody has to think about. stick around. it is not every day that mit

i thought congressman nunes's comments were prudent. it's the beginning of an allegation, let's find out what happened. but if it did happen, it's deeply troubling to me and should be to all-americans. i think we need to dig more. and the ambassador should be given an opportunity. and secretary of state pam payo should tell us what happened. >> sean: there's a bigger story even beyond that, that one day all of us will tell. not right now. john soleman. keep up the good work. pretty dishartennedding. sad. when we come back. rudy giuliani, on the rank of hypocrisy. breaking news night. stay with us. we're glad you're here on hannity watchity. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut

and ranking member nunes can say, i don't like it. i think it's dishonest. well, too bad, we consulted. now i'm sending it to judiciary. that's all that this language requires. this is a phony, phony resolution, mr. speaker. committee on the judiciary. it, s, it authorizes including such procedures as to allow for the president and his counsel. oh, that's good. be happy to have the president's counsel there. but it doesn't say the judiciary, it says authorizes the committee to conduct those proceedings, it doesn't say shall allow the president's counsel. so that's all menacing. squishary is authorized to promulgate procedures as it deems necessary. well, that will be the majority deeming necessary that which they think will best impeach the president, not an impartial hearing. am i out of time? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. king: just in conclusion, then, mr. speaker, i appreciate that heads up you a noise -- announcement and i want to see a balanced and a fair process, one that's consistent with the history of the united sta

congress been devin nunes, ranking member, all of your grades to see you tonight. congressman unions, what does this to tell us tonight about the state of things. >> she still has the problem she does not have the power unless she and peaches but what she's trying to do is to short-circuit the process. i don't think she'll have the formal process and they may just submit a report and go to a straight floor vote on an impeachment. >> laura: congress means alden, there is thought that maybe this is in the big silver bullet that they thought it was against president trump. a certain goal notwithstanding, doesn't seem like the needle has moved on this impeachment thing. i think what you saw tonight with that democrat debates -- my god, this is a war on capitalism, the free market, religious liberty. and apparently general principles of due process. this is a sham behind closed doors, it's becoming more and more obvious. i think they are freaking out about this. i did not think they are cool is humorous at all. >> they are wrong wrong in the process, wrong on the substa

she was asked, you know anything about what devin nunes said?ee should i don't know anything and you see that play out in al. christopher steele was closed as an fbi asset, that's the term in the counterintelligence for an informant and then he was worked by the department of justice attorney. totally abnormal. >> tucker: the country changed a lot under the obama administration for eight years in ways that we are just now coming to understand. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> tucker: democrats were screaming for impeachment, sometimes literally before donald trump took office, rashida tlaib is selling and phd mother t-shirts, but nancy pelosi still wants you to doubt that impeachment really was a final resort. it's a very, very sad thing. she keeps telling us that. she is so sad it turned out this way. she would like you to pray with her about it. >> this is a very serious challenge that the president has put there. it's very sad. it's sad. this is a very sad time for our country. this is no cause for any joy. this is a very sad time for our

it is very clear and i would agree on devin nunes. it is your last day of this is what you would right? you would only right that if you are trying to cover something up. you said and they are twice by the book, by the book. that is like the kid who'd tells to write a note for his parents i've been a good boy and the the principal calls an hour later. >> laura: and instrumental to secure the interview with michael flynn. of course the national security advisor to the president and set up call with michael flynn later. >> this is important. i talk about this email in my book and if you look at the language that writes about the president, obama says to ascertain whether or not you can share russian related information would be in coming. once you break down that extremely bureaucratic and delicate language, she is saying, collect intelligence on the incoming trumpet team. that meeting is january 5th. what happens january 6th? january six, james comey goes to brief president-elect trump in the trump tower. >> laura: the next day he coll

congressman devin nunes?s rigt in the middle of all of this, he's the ranking republican on the house intel committee he joins us tonight, former chairman of it. thanks so much foror c coming on very >> gratuity. >> tucker: do you believe this expedition to mexico no. this explanation? absolutely not. >> tucker: it looks from the perspective of people from the outside like adam schiff's t office guided this complaint like it was a set up. >> and it looked like he knew something beforehand because this was in k the press, then yu had tweets, you have stories written by known effusion gps reporters, and then you fast-forward, a couple of times he could have told us in private tat this had happened. nothing by law makes him -- he doesn't have to tell us, but he clearly gave no indication that he had ever met with the whistle-blower or anybody on his team had ever met with the whistle-blower. that's the real issue here. two opportunities -- two opportunities behind closed doors and he didn't tell us. >> tucker:uc

>> as devin nunes pointed out, we need to learn about this guy. a time, the democrats are all about finding anything to do with the russia collusion and mueller report, but suddenly they don't want to learn anything, they've learned enough. they think it is too much, too far to go. your donald trump, attorney general barr, and mr. mr. durham doing their job by go go figure out how this whole thing started, something mueller frankly should have done but didn't, and they've got to get to the bottom of it. i'm glad to know they are going to do just that, find out exactly how this whole thing started. >> shannon: harry, a lot of reporting out there that that is why the attorney general and u.s. attorney durham, who supposed to be looking into this, allegedly looking into mifsud and finding out what role he played, who this guy is, where he is now. a lot of people that she's just bent vanished. >> he's a big mystery figure, a dimestore novel guy. there's not a shred -- i mean, a shred of evidence to suggest he was somehow working for the democrats or t

it gives devin nunes the authority to ask adam schiff. lou: it gives the republicans nothing.ept a slap across their face. >> they have the authority to ask if chairman schiff will do something. on the question of transcripts, all the interviews that have been done so far. it's not answered in the resolution it's totally up to the chairman of the intelligence committee, chairman schiff. lou: andy biggs and i were causing whether the republicans should vote at all. >> the republicans i talked to can't guarantee that there won't be one meandering vote. but they believe it will be a unanimous vote against this resolution. their options are to say this an illegitimate process and not have any part of it and walk out of the chamber or to vote no. lou: i would like to see them walk out of the chamber and a big go to hell would be in order. we are coming right back with more with byron york after this quick message. stay with us.s.s.s. lou: we are back with the "washington examiner's" byron york. why are these republicans, can of whom who are principled and courageous. they have been

we don't even know the rules. >> bill: so devin nunes a moment ago with us.test witnessed the fired ambassador from ukraine arriving on the will. juan williams is our next guest. shelby holliday, video reporting for the "wall street journal" and ed rollins, manager for the reagan campaign. >> i like popular ed. >> i was one of his big sources. >> keep quiet. >> bill: i know that story. we talked about it. the senior statesman what's up? >> the members will come back. been home for a couple of weeks now and all revved up. the fight has started. i don't care what pelosi and the rest of them saying they'll vote on impeachment and try to take what they get out of today as sort of a trigger to spin it. and i think it's important for people viewers, 2/3 of the ambassadors are foreign service. a third are political. governors, big donors, what have you. it is not unusual for foreign service people to have a different point of view. she was appointed by obama originally and to a certain extent the one unforgivable sin is badmouthing the president. you're appointed by

what devin nunes was doing is also pretty responsible here. everyone who has worked with this ambassador believes that she is a career professional. sure, she may have personal political opinions as everyone does, but she comported herself through multiple postings at the state department well and i'm glad she's up there testifying today. >> dagen: but she can get asked that and that's all devin nunes said. he said, "we want to know and get her on the record. did she see negative things? it was she monitoring journalists in the united states?" she would be able to answer tha that. >> harris: i will go right back to that. you probably saw, and we want to remind everybody that defense secretary mark esper and mark milley, the joint chiefs of staff, we saw the incoming ceremony right here live a few weeks ago. they are going to hold a news conference at the pentagon briefing room. it was supposed to be beginning around noon, so it's still around noon eastern we are watching that. i believe it has already started. each having an opening statement,

congressman nunes. thanks for being with us today.ant to get your retook the arrest of two individual this week who supposedly worked with rudy giuliani. i would like to find out if you know how they do or don't tie into rudy, as well as the u.s. ambassador to the ukraine, maria yovanovich. >> thanks for having me on. the first thing i thought was hilarious about the two. they were first described as ukrainians that were arrested that were friends with rudy giuliani. that was the story for the first few hours. then they found out they were mayor and citizens. then they were described as foreign-born. okay. this is just more of an attempt by the main-stream media to run air cover on the russia hoax which is turned into the ukrainian hoax. i don't know who these people are. but they are american citizens. american citizens cannot commit campaign finance fraud. it said clearly in the indictment no one knew they were committing campaign of finance fraud. just because rudy giuliani knows someone, it's just more of the same to pump people u

you devin nunes. the president will have his defenders in the room and able to ask questions of the former ambassad ambassador. nunes gave an interview on another network this morning laying the credit how republicans respond essentially trying to paint the former ambassador as a partisan figure. someone who's carrying a lot of the democrats. we saw the ambassador pushing back against that in her opening statement as i suspect she will have to helicoptcontinually thr her testimony. >> any surprise that her testimony was not blocked by the white house? >> democrats and republicans were telling our team we hope she comes and we think she's coming. we don't know. there is no obvious confirmation that she was going to be here. the fact that she showed up at all means something is important. i don't know what yet. >> and talk me through how important yovanovitch's testimony is here today. she's as 33-year veteran. >> as it laid out there, she could be the beginning of a stream of testimonies from current a

joining us know what the reaction is the ranking intelligence committee chairman nunes is with us. your reaction to all this. i say because it's so illegitimate, so unfair, so unconstitutional, republicans should not play a part of this in my opinion. your thoughts? >> well, i think you nailed it on the head, sean, we have to have at least one member of congress and at least one lawyer to take notes so we know what they are saying. if not, if they do control the gavel, they have the power and they can do a lot of really bad things. look, i find it interesting that pelosi is not even going to bother to try to fight the administration and take this to court. i think that's new information. i'm surprised at that. but that means they really are just racing to get this done. finally what i think you are seeing is they are on a sugar high with poles right now. they've got 90% of the media poisoning people. they've got all the tech companies poisoning people. they read the polls and as long as it's 50% plus 12 impeach the president. i think you said a rocket docket impeachment. that's wha

devin nunes. and people who actually know the subject. so adam schiff was saying, we do not want members to ask questions. i can tell you that particular transcribed interview was going so poorly for the democrats after the third hour, adam schiff says well i'm going to reak my own rule and i'm going to ask 25 minutes of questions. you not hear any of that reported in the media. why? because they leak out the text messages to give a particular narrative that was not supported by the actual interview that we conducted for over 10 hours. if they are about transparency, let's be transparent. let's let the american people decide for themselves. what do you think? [applause] i'm also here to tell you this president is the most pro-life president we have ever had in the history of our country, bar none. bar none. he is willing to fight. [applause] when a certain governor from virginia talked about that you need to make someone comfortable before you murder them after they have been born, this president saw that not only is offensive but morally

this individual who is associated with devin nunes, who purports to be a crane expert trump believesa ukraine expert although he's not -- >> it's a television show. >> it's sad. the one thing i will make two points quickly is that the director at these -- the directors are nonpolitical individuals chosen for their expertise. eat, sleep, breathe these issues. no one knows it better than the director. for him to be cut out like that is a a shame and i really hope it doesn't distract or prevent future experts from going into the nsc who are nonpolitical. >> all right. we've got a lot more to cover and watching the impeachment debate live on capitol hill. you better stay with us. it is a very busy day ahead. >> this resolution is far from open and far from transparent. in fact, it is the exact -- t. in fact, it is the exact - make fitness routine with pure protein. high protein. low sugar. tastes great! high protein. low sugar. so good! high protein. low sugar. mmmm, birthday cake! pure protein bars. try lemon cake. pure protein bars. if you have moderate to thsevere rheumatoid arthritis

also tonight, congressman devin nunes just sent a letter to the intel community community inspector general about what he used to take off this whole ordeal and could the entire impeachment bush ruined the democrats in the eyes of the amn voters? corey lewandowski and davis hanson will tell us but first, democrats democracy problem. that's the focus of tonight's angle. it was nice to get out of washington last week. even if it was only for a few days in chicago. another city run by liberals. getting out of the new york washington corridor it always reminds me of the fact that americans are generally a lot fairer and smarter and more practical minded than a lot of the bigwigs in politics and the media. especially in so-called flyover country. they have a pretty keen sense of what matters, where the solutions might be found, and what's not working. a lot of folks approached me -- no pies were thrown but they approach me with comments like these. laura, what's with all the craziness in washington? is this going to hurt the economy? why don't they just let the voters decide next november? this

>> that's absolutely correct, maria, you've had congressman nunes on the show and you've been coveringhe election, you and i have spoken about this, you have the details of the very well, started in late 2015, early 2016 when they started targeting general flynn, then this rolled into a larger operation against the president, that started to include or at that time candidate trump and it started to include other trump advisers, carter page and george papadopoulos, and if you look at the specifics of the operation they waged against trump, we see ukraine in the middle of that, that's why i believe it's important to look at what is happening now regarding ukraine and the procedure taking place on the hill as continuation, it's not just -- it's not russia 2.0, it's the same thing, they are continuing the operation and has offensive purpose to take down trump, to protect the swamp, but they're also defending against what they did, i entirely agree, they're quite concerned about what u.s. attorney john durham is doing, they are concerned about what general flynn's lawyer powell has turned u

another trump defender was california congressman devin nunes, who said this of taylor's testimony: >ve defined it as watching a slow-motion crazy train that is going into impeachment fantasyland looking for the loch ness monster. >> stephen: which is funny, because i've defined nunes as watching an insane jetski careening off of jackass mountain into mixed metaphor lake. ( laughter ) now the g.o.p.-- the gop-- the g.o.p. is having so much trouble defending trump's behavior that today, instead of addressing any of the charges, house republicans stormed a closed door hearing to protest democrats' impeachment inquiry process. it's like when you're on the debate team and the other side is really strong in the cross-examination, so for your counterpoint, you set fire to their coach. we have a picture of the storming. that's either a bunch of republican lawmakers or a "black friday" sale on pleated khakis. ( laughter ) the g.o.p. ringleader was florida republican and evil bob's big boy, matt gaetz. and, oh, gaetz came in hot. >> i'm gathered here with dozens of my congressional colleagues,

back in 2017, democrats were saying the same thing essentially about then house intel chairman devin nunes and his contacts with the white house. and the only reason really that nunes stepped aside and recused himself as head of the russian investigation into election interference is because of an ethics complaint that he was dealing with in the house. so that's why this republican lawmaker said look to that. but again, to jonathan's point, republicans are arguing on process right now and personalities. they're not really going to the heart of the matter. >> okay, john, give me a reality check. it may call for your reasoned judgment, and that is are the democrats going to get pushed into, forced into holding some kind of a vote that gets everybody, including everyone in dicey congressional districts on the record on impeaching donald trump early. >> look, all the sources i've talked to on the republican side are eager to get that vote. they really desperately would like to push nancy pelosi into that position. every source i've talked to on the democratic side said nancy pelosi is never go

congressman devin nunes. dad morning.morning.in addition to thf taking out a critical terror leader of isis, you have the broader picture in washington where you are where not just democratic leaders like chuck schumer but republican leaders like mitt romney have been criticizing the president's policy in syria and now we see there may be some fruit to this. >> here in the swamp everybody thinks they're a genius. as pete knows because he's served there, this is a very difficult situation in the middle east and we've long been dealing with al qaeda and isis. this province, we've been watching it closely. it's been difficult because you've got to conflict between russians and syrians and turkey. it's a tough place for us to get to to gather intelligence. we've known that isis and al qaeda remnants are hiding out there. it's the last place that's ungoverned. the other place is near the oil wells that the president wants to secure. so i think a lot of this, dealing with this situation in the middle east, it ebbs and flows and

so tonight on a story devin nunes on the president's fight, what he faces and return to mike to turn situation around. geraldo rivera on gabbard and on michael bloomberg threat the democrats plans potentially and how -- howie on twitter ego, but first republican senator responding to impeachment question proposed to them and talk appearances over the weekend. >> i don't think there is any question that going on tv on the white house lawn and saying china will investigate the opponent is wrong. i can imagine from that point of view and we certainly can't have presidents asking foreign countries to provide something of political value. >> he could support up, sure, mean, show me something that is a crime. if you can show me that trump actually was engaging in quid pro quo outside of the phone calls, that would be very disturbing. >> martha: here now congressman devin nunes ranking member of house intelligence committee. good to have you with us tonight. and in "the washington post" echoes a little bit of what we saw in the sound bites. i'll a few republicans crack on impeachment showin

and the reason i single out devin nunes is we remember in march 2017, he did report intelligence information to the white house that he wasn't supposed to be, you know, communicating to them. so are you worried about him doing that again? >> we're in an extremely unusual situation as you mentioned before, which is that the president essentially wants to know the identity of the whistle-blower. and quite frankly, based on his statements, appears to want to retaliate against the whistle-blower and wants to discourage that person, him or her, from telling their story to the american people. in light of that, at this point, we have to take extreme precautions to make sure that we protect his or her identity and allow them to tell their story. i'm hoping that we can entrust every member of the committee with, you know, this extremely secret information, if it ever were disclosed to anyone. that being said, in this particular instance, i think we should take every precaution necessary to make sure nobody on the committee knows the identity. and that includes myself. i don't want to know the identi

prior to that, republican devin nunes accused democrats of being in a cult. his words there.rom the white house on today's developments. cnn senior washington -- oh, let's listen to jim jordan who has just taken the chair. hold on, john. let's listen to republican jim jordan. >> -- who has a bias against the president who worked with vice president biden the day after the now famous phone call between president trump and president zelensky. the so-called whistle-blower gets a readout from somebody on that call, writes a memo. he uses terms like this call was scary, frightening. but what does he do? he waits 18 days before he files a complaint. ad who is the first person he goes to see in the first people he goes to see in that 18-day time frame? chairman schiff's staff. chairman schiff's staff. 435 members of congress, only one individual, one member of this body knows who this person is who started this whole darn crazy process. chairman schiff. and what's this resolution do? gives him even more power to run this secret proceeding in a bunker in the basement of the capitol.

joining us now, we are joined by the ranking member of the house intelligence committee, devin nunes is with us. also, the house minority leader, that would be -- i guess you are not the leader yet, you hope to be one day. minority whip steve scalise. devin, i know you can't tell us everything, but my sources are pretty clear. it's a complete adam schiff shutdown. republicans can't ask questions. republicans can't do pretty much everything. you have read this so-called resolution. is this resolution when newt gingrich offered bill clinton in 1998? >> well, i think the thing people should be asking themselves, especially if you're a democrat on the judiciary committee, where is jerry nadler? no one has seen him for like two and a half months, he's like the missing in action. so clearly, schiff and the intelligence committee democrats, they have completely obliterated the intelligence committee. it's now known as the impeachment committee. so that resolution is just more of the same, and i will tell you, you mentioned you haven't seen this in your many years in radio and tv. i have nev

story is told in a new book, the plot against the president, the true story about congressman devin nunesthe biggest political scandal in history, by lee smith, which at this hour apparently is number one on amazon which tells you a lot. congressman joins us tonight, thanks so much for coming on. because thank you, the title is very kind but there's a lot of people that did a lot of great work. >> tucker: i'm going to read it. it lee smith is a credible importer. tell me what you make of journalists in washington demanding that we stop asking questions. our default has always been we want to know more. that's our job. and yet there telling us no more questions. why are they telling us that? >> it's even worse. you had on the conspiracy theories. they are chasing daily conspiracy theories on this ukraine hoax so what i've been trying to tell my colleagues, if these are mainstream reporters and they're out there asking you questions about conspiracy theories, about trump and what do you think about -- did you send anybody to this place -- every day is a new conspiracy theory and when i walk
