congressman zeldin, the weak articles of impeachment today, to me, aren't all that surprising. the democrats have spent the last two months offering this really nebulous, ever shifting series o of explanations for impeachment. let's watch. >> there absolutely was a quid pro quo. >> extortion of a foreign government. >> bribery. >> obstruct. >> innocent people don't intimidate witnesses. >> laura: witness intimidation, boy, i forgot about that one. what happened to all those other impeachable acts? they seem to have just disappeared, congressman. >> they exploded, they detonated. we saw it unfold in closed-door depositions, and we saw it unfold during the open door hearings. from the intelligence committee to the judiciary committee. adam schiff has said, when he was doing his sunday news appearances, at the closed-door depositions, that they were were analogous to a grand jury investigation. in this type adam schiff was holding, he was a prosecutor, the jury, the judge, the witness coach. he was in charge of strategizing how to lie and how to leak. in the american people were e

congressman zeldin, let's start with you. impeachment clearly heads to a final vote, do you get any sense at all from your democrat colleagues that they do realize how damaging this process has been to our political system >> i'm sure there are many of them, some of them who will be voting no. there will be a bipartisan vote on impeachment beer there will be others who will become aware of it november of 2020 if they don't get the point now, because you have 31 has democrats and districts that donald trump won. when those trump voters sent those democrats to washington, they were being sent to work with the president in order to get really important substantive areas across the finish line. not to actually impeach the president that they voted for. some realize it now and others are going to be realizing it next november, and for people who have dabbles in their hands, even if they are on the far left of the party, when they are no longer in the majority after next november's election, than their entire conference will see it

zeldin: thank you, madam speaker. i think it's important to reiterate the fact that this bill is just a very temporary change to the salt deduction until 2021 in exchange for a permanent increase to taxes on individuals in small -- individuals and small businesses. while we're having this debate i think it's important to point out that the reason why our state and local tax deduction was as high as it was is because our state and local taxes are as high as they are. as we take this opportunity ton this floor, let's send a mess a -- message to mayor deblasio of new york city and governors and state legislators in albany and new jersey, that all governors have a role to play in tax relief. that's why our state and local tax deduction was as high as it was. for people in our entire state. for governor cuomo and the democrats running in albany right now watching this, to do your part my people in my district are desperate for relief and congress shouldn't try to bail you out time and time and time again. we'll stand here

here is one of my former colleagues in the house, congressman lee zeldin, who spent his holiday overseashe middle east with our troops. congressman zell then sacrificed his time off with his beautiful girls and his wife, and it's time on capitol hill to help keep our country safe by visiting those who keep our country safe. i think we ought to take this page out of the book, especially in time of such a disconnect congressman zeldin will be joining us tomorrow night, so be sure to tune in for that pickle that is all the time we had tonight. i'm jason chaffetz in for laura ingraham. laura, thank you so much for letting me sit in for you. be sure to check out what's coming up next? there is my book, "power grab," but most importantly, let's go to mike emanuel. we will see you tomorrow night. >> mike: thank you so much, jason. we begin with a fox news alert. the political battle over the senate trial of president donald trump firing back in earnest late tonight with a senate minority leader calling on the white house to release documents that democrats are demanding, possibly even open up n

. >> 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

zeldin: thank you. allies in the media, they like to say that republicans only want to talk about process, not substance, even though we continue to talk about substance as well. they declare their facts are uncontested. they just did it again. so just to maybe recap a few for everyone watching at home as well as my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, hopefully they'll listen. president zelensky said there s no demand, no pressure, no quid pro quo. andre said their whole story with ambassador sondland is completely refuted. we heard from the ambassador himself who admitted that he heard from president trump that he didn't want any quid pro quo and that he was guessing when he stated otherwise. ambassador sondland, that is, said he was guessing and that no one on the planet told him o's. ambassador volume consider said he didn't know that aid withheld. the aid got released shortly thereafter and ukraine didn't have to do anything in order to get the hold released. favor, 25 said do me a we have to

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

congressman zeldin, this was to me beyond the beyond. it shows you how it low they will go. >> it was so low, and this is something you were seeing play out in regards to other answers to other questions over the course of the entire hearing. she came in totally biased and completely unhinged. you hear the word triggered a lot. the source of don, jr. book, this is what played out since the election of donald trump. this woman is totally unhinged by the election of donald trump. she was in one respect a perfect witness for the democrats to bring in because she was going to tell them whatever they wanted to hear about how the president based on her theories of constitutional law absolute lire must be impeached. but it was so obvious there is a lot of hate that she had, that the harvard law professor had as well. you saw when they asked him if it was okay, does it matter that the aid was released anyway, ukraine didn't have to do any new investigations. then you get your answer, no, it doesn't matter. all of a sudden the other 97% of the fa

gregg jarrett is in the studio with me, congressman devin nunes, lee zeldin, all with me on this impeachmentt, and adam schiff expose we have for you. but first, what if congressional leaders could be impeached? that's the focus of tonight's "angle." we've read all of your emails and your tweets about the democrats impeachment of session. this is a general flavor of what i'm reading. why can't they be impeached?

joining me to discuss, michael zeldin, cnn analyst and special assistant to robert mueller at the justiceartment. good to see you, happy holidays. >> to you too, fred. >> the senate blames the house for holding up the process. house speaker nancy pelosi says she needs to hear the senate trial plans before naming house managers. so what details does the senate majority leader need to work out and share with the house speaker so that things will proceed? >> principally it's the question of witnesses. the democrats or the house, if you will, has asked that there be live witnesses in the senate trial and that those witnesses be subject to direct and cross examination, much in the same way that the house republicans asked for that during the house proceedings. mcconnell has not yet given an indication as to whether or not he will permit those witnesses. pelosi is saying until i get assurances that there will be witnesses or until i understand what this trial will look like, i can't designate and transmit to you the names of my managers. >> and then how long can it take, this kind of process, b

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

zeldin: this impeachment is an embarrassment for house democrats. on the substance, dems claim that their case is uncontested, relying on presumptions, hearsay and 3% of the story, trying to connect doths that aren't actually connected -- dots that aren't actually connected. president zelensky didn't know there was a hold on aid until august 29. the aid gets released shortly thereafter and ukraine didn't have to do anything to get that aid released. president zelensky says no demand, no quid pro quo, no pressure. but democrats want the public to ignore the other 97% of this story. see it -- it doesn't work like that. senate democrats want new witnesses to show why there was a hold on aid. odd request if you think you've already proven your case. at the heart of this debate, two investigations are being discussed between countries. democrats and media allies want the public to believe it's all just debunk that ukrainians interfered in the 2016 election. they want you to ignore comments that chalupa worked with ukrainian embassy, origins of the steele

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

zeldin. >> thank you, madam speaker, and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle throughout this whole process all aisles in the media like to say that republicans only want to talk about process not substance even though we continue to talk about substance as well. they declare their facts are uncontested. they just did it again. just to maybe recap a few for everyone watching at home as well as my colleagues on the other side of the aisle hopefully their listen. zelensky said there was no pressure, no quid pro quo. yermak said the december 1 meeting with ambassador sondland is refuted. sondland said he heard from president trump he didn't want any quid pro quo and he was guessing when he stated otherwise. ambassador sondland said he was guessing and that no one on the planet had told him otherwise. ambassador volker tells us president zelensky didn't know there was a hold on aid until july 25 and didn't find out after he read it on july 29. they didn't have to do anything to get the hold release. when they say the july 25 transcript said do me a favor and we have to correct it.

zeldin. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. eldin: thank you, speaker. thank you to congresswoman lesko for yielding and for your strong rule.tion to this is a be clear, h.res. 326 partisan, ill-timed resolution. this past summer, members of to the floor ame and passed almost unanimously a strong statement opposing he boycott divestment and sanctions movement as well as much of the language that's in h.res.326.ution, -- h.res. 326. a watered down version what we passed last summer. there is nothing in this that we didn't already pass almost unanimously last summer. so what happens? we woke up the day after that last summer, sed and the republicans wanted to pass resolution with teeth. and i know we have a lot of strong bipartisan support for legislation with teeth. 336, legislation that passed the senate with almost 80 votes. but unfortunately for some of my colleagues, they woke up the next day, instead of wanting to teeth, gislation with that would do something about it, do something about that we made.atement that we've been
