Impeachment, im beginning to amid trade tensions but will the think in retrospect that it was recent truce with china and the deal on the usmca tamp down probably inevitable. We were going to get impeachment one way or another from the lingering trade uncertainty as we head into 2020. Democrats who are really intent were back with dan henninger, on it and even after the mueller kim strassel, bill mcgern and report failed, they were going to look for something else. Mary ogrady. What do you think . A great year for the financial well, that was really the key. When the Mueller Report came markets, Big Stock Market gains, over, i think some of us out despite concerns about lower there we waited more than two growth and a recession. Years and we thought okay, now are we all clear on the we have an a answer, its time recession now, kind of coming out of it . To put this behind us. Are we worryfree for 2020. But no, the minute it came out, they doubled down. They drilled in on the no, i think that would be obstruction piece of his report mistake. The longer we stay with no even though the justice recession and were in Historic Department said this was not period something that could go forward. Paul over 10 years. And it was pretty clear at that yeah. The higher the risks go. Moment that this was going to but i would say that were in a happen one way or another and it pretty much of a sweet spot was a question of their finding right now. We have a president who believes the right issue to hang it on. In low taxes and we have a paul anybody disagree with that, they were going to impeach him for jay walking if they had Senate Control by republicans so thats helpful and the results are coming in. To. They were calling for i mean, the investment levels, impeachment barely after he was taking the oath of office. Wages are rising, people are i think this is right. Coming off the sidelines to work mrs. Pelosi tried to resist it and thats a big sign about but the point is, this is what the bulk of her party wanted. Confidence in the economy. When you look at those polls a lot of Consumer Confidence in paul thats my point. The economy. So i would say, you know, you break it down, its Something Like 90 they were looking out, its rather agreed on that. Positive view. The other thing is that if mrs. Pelosi was the outlier in those polls. Paul go ahead. Donald trump ends up giving us the other thing about the Mueller Report thats amazing is how he basically decided to cutting us a break on china, on china trade by coming up with ignore the steele report and the some kind of agreement, that will be another plus for the importance of Christopher Steeles report, a former economy. Paul let me ask you about that. British spy who was basically the deal on china, not totally hired to try to find dirt on the details arent all known donald trump. Paul by the democrats. Yeah. And you know, mueller just yet but it looks like its going to go through, the usmca is didnt go into that and i think going to pass, the president has theres something we learned taken european auto tariffs off more about not just about the table apparently. Mueller but if you look at all are we going to get here some of this, you see that the trump quiet on trade, claiming washington establishment was happy to cover up for each victory but doing nothing else other, all in the interest of between now and the election . Basically damaging donald trump. You know what this signals to lets talk about the washington establishment. Me is somewhere the faction in i mean, you know, people talk the white house that has been all the time about how run testify our disruptive our lobbying a long time the president to understand the importance of trade and how much politics is, how tense it is, it could hurt his prospects for reelection, they seem to have its polarizing. Donald trump did not create the caught his ear at least for a russian collusion narrative, right . While. So his desire to go do this paul right. He talks about witch hunts. Hes got a point. China deal, which just a phase if you extracted this stuff what one, not the whole thing, thats you would have i think is a more a change. The fact that hes been quiet on or less normal presidency. Trump would never be a normal it, it all suggested he understands the need to reassure president but we would be arrestinarguing about normal the business investment. Those have been the more immigration and other trull p worrisome numbers that have been policies. Trump policies. Coming through economic reports. Paul yeah, the heroes here instead we spend the year on have been the consumer and the american worker, americans going this zero sum collusion back to work, wage gains are narrative which is very disruptive. Paul do you put any blame, a higher for lower income americans now than they are for little bit, on trump for not upper income americans and thats fed through to consumer repute dating putin as much as he could. He could have made that spending. Compensating for the recession in manufacturing and the lower clearer, for sure. Investment. It was a troubling aspect of the yeah, it really has. And i think one of the things to look for as we get into the election campaign. Political season, election gets they imposed more sanctions on the russian than any previous going, people get nominated, is administration so its been a we talked about this a little wash from that perspective. It wouldnt have made a earlier, the democrats economic difference. How do we know . Policies currently, if we get i mean that seriously. Into the summer and whether its how do we know . They got the Mueller Report. Joe biden, Amy Klobuchar, gods you look at what paul they are still accusing knows Elizabeth Warren, if it looks at all as if the campaign him of collusion. Is competitive and youve got a when bob mueller came in, there was enough evidence that this was going nowhere, yet they Democratic Party campaigning on higher taxes, repealing some of continued the investigation. The whole thing from the the trump tax cuts, certainly beginning is finding out that rolling back the deregulation, i the steele stuff was not credible and they went with it think youre going to see a lot anyway. Lets not for get the of downward pressure, at least in the stock market because the inspector generals report which came out more recently. Trump policies love or hate that had evidence of the fbi donald trump, those economic policies are clearly responsible hiding exculpatory evidence. That is really a scandal. With whats happened the last its terrifying for i think two years. If you roll them back, theres american citizens. I mean, those of us who believe going to be problems. Paul one of the lessons r, if in civil liberties, which should you focus on growth, you do be the bulk of washington better by income inwall at this, than inequality, than if you paul everybody. Yeah. You hohow come theres sort of . Focus on policies and then you dont do as well on growth. Part of that is because of the absolutely. I think this is the part republicans need to remember, when we debate tax rates because most of the press has been i think for a lot of ordinary spinning it, which is trump in a americans they think growth is something for hedge fund guys. Problem. Paul the a abuses of the fbi they dont realize its their were r worse than anything we 401k. Learned about donald trump and they dont realize its better russia. Because its compounded than absolutely. The ig report has been even if the government gave you absolutely devastating to the fbi and we already had reports money. So i think we have to make the come out, i mean, people forget, growth argument all the time and also its a good argument to short memories, but weve had make in this because theres three reports about jim comey, nothing on the democratic side the former fbi director and his tenure. The first one, which dealt with thats specifically trying to get growth. They sort of like the old the Hillary Clinton probe, joke, how do the two economists accused him of being get out of a hole. One sales assume a ladder. Insubordinate to superiors. We had one about the leak of his paul if we looked back 12 memo to the press about the years ago to 2007 and 8, the conversation was the president which pointed out was dangerous, economy was still growing reckless behavior and we have an ig report about the fbi playing happen in are we missing fast and loose with the fisa anything at all a for trouble in court. This really does call into many 2020 . I think dans right, that if americans minds r whether or wt it looks like the democrats have an edge and they might actually they can trust the fbi at all. Win, i think the markets are theres been institutional going to be scared. Damage, all because they were because every single one of going after trump. Those candidates on the stage is but its the fbi who comes out talking about higher tax as a looking very poor here. Paul and the two years spent way to fix deficit spending and that is not good for growth. Pursuing the collusion narrative and asserting it notwithstanding paul kim, how about you . A lack of evidence i think really has hurt the attempt to are we missing something in terms of the financial trouble now impeach on ukraine because a around the horizon that you can lot of the public says wait a see, yo housing or some sectionf minute, we heard all this before and we cant trust these people because theyre pushing they the financial industry . Pushed falsehoods on us before. I think to marys point about i think democrats have done some damage to themselves. They could be running against in the stock market being spooked, like you said the engine here the Election Year trumps has been consumers. Personality and his policies. Voters get spooked, do they pull that would be legitimate. Back out of fear of what might they elevated it to this be manable to come. Socalled constitutional crisis which i think is really a bridge thats another thing that could happen as well, based on the too far for a lot of voters who may default to saying it was an democratic nominee. Paul briefly. If the fed has to raise indefenseable impeachment rates because we see inflation project. Paul thank you all. The impeachment proceedings now that could be troubling. Set to bleed into the new year, paul when we come back, hits just as the 2020 Campaign Heats and misses of the year. Up. Will it help or hurt president sfx [sneezing] trumps reelection chances .

The do nothing democrats, and they are do nothing, all they want to do is focus on paul time now for our hits and this, what they could did doing misses of the year. Are he declaring their dane well start with misses. Kim . So, paul, we you now know thanks to the ig horowitz for the American Voter report, we know the minute bob disdane for the American Voter. The impeachment is a political mueller was named special counsel in may of 2019, he was suicide march for the democrat party. Handed an fbi file that showed have you seen my polls in the last four weeks . Him that the infamous steele [ cheering and applause ] paul that was President Trump dossier had been paid for by the last week at a rally in the Rifle Campaign and that the fbi crucial swing state of michigan, claiming that the democratic had already discovered that dose impeachment push is actually helping him in the polls. Dossier was bunk. That would have been the moment i spoke with wall street journal to say time out. My miss goes to mr. Mueller. Columnist and fox news he didnt do had that. Contributor karl rove earlier about the impact of impeachment instead for two years he continued to look into this, on the 2020 race. Closed his eyes to fbi welcome, karl rove. Good to see you again. Misbehavior and let the bomb lets talk about the political fires rage on, the nation is impact of impeachment. A lot of republicans seem to worse for it. Paul all right. Think that this is going to work bill . Paul, my miss is to my birth better for them than for the iste of california where the democrats. What do you sunshine. I think it will. But not the way that we might bringing back ancient diseases think. I think both bases will be like the plague. Paul b buboni plague. Energized by impeachment. Theres a slim chance that democrats will say you tried to do it but when the senate votes not to remove him, there might its highlighting the be a little bit of air out of the cushion but i think its failure on housing policy, going to energize both bases. Public order, getting people the the key is what does it do to medical care they need. The independents, the small a big miss to the entire group of swing voters, Political Class of the state of california. Paul all right. Other parts of the country too moderates, independent, people up for grabs in the election, were noticing, new york not quite as bad. Maybe eight, 10, 12 of the lek its colder here. Mary. Big miss for nancy pelosi, electorate. House speaker, for going ahead the polls indicated the longer with the impeachment process. The impeachment process has gone donald trump is unlikely to be on, the less excited they are removed from office and i think about it and the more they turn she knew had that but she thought she could damage the against impeachment. President and theres no a senate trial i suspect will evidence that has happened. Turn them more against it. At the end of the day, small but unfortunately, shes now lowered the bar for using this plus for republicans, but not because what it does for republicans, because thats tool as a political weapon countered by what happens among against enemies and i think thats going to be longterm democrats, its what happens with that small group of damage for the country. Paul do you think she hurt the democrats in the process or undecided upforgrab voters. Protected her moderate members. Paul lets take stock of the i think its going to cost the democrats. Paul you think the 2020 democratic president ial race. Election. One of the bigger stories of the yes. Year to me in the primaries is paul dan. Weve done robert mueller, weve done nancy pelosi. The staying power of joe biden. I dont think viewers would be had a lot of early stumbles, here he is at the end of the happy until we give a miss of year and hes still ticking, the year to adam schiff. Still in the lead nationally and he was here to foreanonymous hes not going away. No, i think youre absolutely right. Congressman from california. In fact, what he was being he made a name for himself god written off early on, i wrote a knows this year. I think in adam schiffs case column, saying dont write him its been almost only for the out, the guys got some worse. When he was in the minority in durability. Of course, i agree with you the House Intelligence Committee because its been my opinion for a while. Look, why is that that the case . He pursued the russian collusion well, i think its for a couple reasons. Narrative against congressman one is, i think a key is is that devin nunes, also of call nobodys been able to important ycalifornia. Once he g, consolidate that 40 to 45 of he pushed the russian collusion the democratic electorate thats narrative, the obstruction of on the hard left because its justice narrative and now the being split between warren and impeachment project. I would say his credibility with sanders and as a result, biden the American People is pretty much shot and hell be can be sitting there in the high 20s, low 30s. Remembered as having been a theyre sitting in the 20s or completely destructive Political Force in our era. High teens and they look weaker paul not by democrats who l compared to him. Hail him as a hero, dan. The second thing is, look, this they think hes done a great job. He has brought down the field has not been all that Good American political system. And its been hard to get a hes done a lot of damage to the breakout because theres been so many of them. Credibility of the system, theres been no dominant whether democrats at this point want to admit it or not. Personal
