Have a rebuke for her. Laura now, standing ovation for her. Great show, hannity. Im laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. The democrats thought that this spectacle was going to help . Our legal eagle will be here in a moment to break it all down, just how damaging it was for the democrats today, and ed henry has new reporting about potential cracks forming in pelosis caucus. Also tonight, i think he is one of only two sitting congressman who was front and center in the last impeachment of a president. He is here to sound the alarm over the current sham proceedings. Plus, Raymond Arroyo will reveal how the style of todays witnesses could actually hurt their arguments. And the media attacks melanias wardrobe. All that in seen and unseen. But first, you know its over when. That is the focus of tonights angle. Okay, i was just saying to hannity, if you or anyone you love is thinking of applying to law school, you must be having major second thoughts today. Three professors prattled on about how trump must be impeached 11 months before an election. Their delivery was alternatively angry, dismissive, and tedious. Despite the walltowall coverage and relentless height by the democrats, todays soporific symposium cratered any hope that they are going to coax americans into supporting impeachment. Here are the top five reasons you know its over. First, todays legal experts tried to pass off as fact flimsy theories and unsupported inferences, and they use those theories and inferences to conclude that the president should basically be removed from office. Speak of the phone call itself of july 25th is extraordinarily clean to my mind, in that we hear the president asking for a favor that is clearly a personal benefit, rather than acting on behalf of the interest of the nation. Acting on his own personal benefit and not for the benefit of the country. He invited the russians, are longtime adversaries come into the process the last time around because he has invited the ukrainians into the process and because he suggested he would like the chinese to come into the process. Laura into the process. Stanford law grads should demand refunds for any class taught by karlan. An equally plausible motive could be that President Trump has every right to know whether ukraine meddled in the last election, and its for that theory that the president somehow was trying to personally benefit from his dealings with zelensky. Joe biden wasnt and still is into trumps political opponent in the next election. He is one of several. So how can they so definitively claimed that this is President Trumps guiding, sole motivation . Answer, they cannot. Second, you know its over when 3 out of 4 legal eagles were trumphating partisans. Basically Elizabeth Warren gave 1,000 to her last summer and trumps Rapid Response brought this up when she admitted she was triggered by the mere sight of the trump Hotel Building in washington. I got off the bus and i walked up to the hotel and as i was walking past what used to be the old bus Office Building and is now the trump hotel, which, i had to cross the street of course. [laughter] are you just saying that . God no. Laura triggered, as she was in the obama doj as well. From unc law school, he wants media efforts for al gore. He also worked for the bill clinton president ial Transition Team in the 1990s. A professor at Harvard Law School has been arguing for impeaching trump for years. He even once speculated that trump could be impeached over a tweet that he sent claiming obama had wiretapped his campaign. But beyond their bias, there was a nasty, bitter undercurrent that bubbled to the surface again from professor karlan. While the president can name his son baron, he cant make him a barren. Laura she later apologized but still couldnt resist taking a jab in her apology at the president. Now, contrast those partisans with the g. O. P. Witness. Professor Jonathan Turley. He is not a trump supporter, he voted for clinton and obama. But that made his methodical takedown of the impeachment sham all the more convincing. Speak of the record does not establish obstruction in this case. If you accept all of their presumptions, it would be obstruction. To impeach a president on this record would expose every future president to the same type of impeachment. If you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. Its your abuse of power. Laura you know its over when even the Democrats Press are admitting this thing is a hard sell. The notion of having four academics in the broader goal that democrats have to pull the public along on the idea of impeachment, that cant be changing. Laura you know its over when the democrats were hoping to invoke the founders. The founding father said, shall any man be above justice and Alexander Hamilton rode that high crimes and misdemeanors mean the abuse or violation of some public trust. John adams once rode to thomas jefferson. James madison said that impeachment was needed. He got a whole musical and we are just going to get this Committee Hearing. Laura are you just devastated that obama didnt put her on the Supreme Court . Youve heard of school of rock, right . Will they were starting in law school of rock. I dont think we have any idea what they would think. If you are going to make a case to George Washington that you could impeach over a conversation he had with another head of state, i expect his powdered hair would catch on fire. Its a form of necromancy that academics do all the time. Laura nice use of the word necromancy. You know its over when democrats, after all of their outlandish claims, still wont say how or even if they will vote. Im going to reserve any kind of mode of public judgment. Im going to reserve judgment. No decision has been made as to whether or not we go forward with impeachment. Laura maybe they are lying, i dont know. But a better explanation is that they want to give themselves an outcome or perhaps some wiggle room. Got to see what those latest polls are looking like. They say the founders but what they are really relying on is focus groups. This thing has gone south and they all know it. But this has been a great 24 hours for trump and yesterday he was dominating agenda over at the nato summit, pushing for more member donations to pay their fair share. We all love that. Last night he was mocked by foreign elites in london. Today he was mocked by academic elites on capitol hill. Chalk up another win for the white house. Is there anyway we can get that lady from sanford to come back and lecture us some more tomorrow . And that is the angle. Joining me now our legal power panel, former Whitewater Deputy independent counsel. Former student of pam karlan and trump 2020 advisor and attorney, constitutional scholar, senior fellow at the claremont institute. They are a bit has a lousy on the panel, the three democrat lawyers, the law professors are all friends. I agree with pam. Did the democrats help themselves today . No, i dont think so. I think it was a really bad mistake, first of all, to have three against one because turley is very good. Hes been doing this a long time. Laura he is a liberal, that is why he is really good. And oldfashioned liberal and he is very quotable. And you know, the fact that there was only one. They only let republicans have one person, particularly at the beginning, when the scholars were being questioned for 45 minutes. At the other three, aside from the substance of what they were saying, they were getting broken down. They each had a certain amount of time, whereas turley, who is very articulate, was just allowed to talk on and on and on and he made a tremendous amount of sense, so i think he definitely got the better of them. Laura i mean being mocked by Justin Trudeau yesterday in london, most people, that is great for trump. Theyve been trashing american president s forever and now he is being mocked by the academic elite. How does that fly in all these battleground states . Think the president thrives on it, first of all. That is his superpower and i think you are absolutely right. Middle america, normal people do not count out and love what these foreign leaders are saying, disrespecting our president is really going to backfire on them. I and Many Americans love that he is demanding accountability from these wealthy foreign powers who are refusing to pay their fair share. Laura in the beginning of that phone call with zelensky, which gets overlooked, they were talking about the missiles and he said, these countries have got to pony up some more money. Obviously much more close than the proximity of the United States. One democratic witness today compared trump to a cane, that tired old analogy. Can you imagine it wasnt in a complementary way . Watch. When the president asked for a favor he was using the royal we. It wasnt asking for a favor the United States. He shouldve said, do me a favor. Only kings say us when they mean me. Laura by the way, she seems extremely angry all the time. Angry, bitter, angry, angry, bitter. If hillary had one make the election she mightve been on the Supreme Court, who knows. This is almost as bad as a ridiculous comment about barron trump. The president s statement was due us a favor because our country has been through a lot lately and ukraine know something about it. We would like to get to the bottom of that. That has nothing to do with the royal we or anything else. Maybe she didnt read the whole transcript. Its short. They are coming in with such a bias and an animosity and venom against the president that they cant even think straight. I was invited to be a witness by the republicans several weeks ago and it got blocked. Im glad they went with Jonathan Turley because hes been the democrat go to guy for decades. I testified with him at a Senate IntelligenceCommittee Hearing back in the bush administration. He was on the opposite side of me. He did a tremendous job just kind of analyzing the legal analysis without the political bias in this thing. Kudos to him. Laura i want to Say Something now, this is also from karlan and we are going to skip forward. She was asked about the timing of all of this, and if its so important, why the rush question require they rushing this to say you had academic witnesses today. And she basically waved off any concern about rushing because of next years election. Watch. I think the evidence to this point shows that the per resident is soliciting foreign involvement in our election, you need to act now to prevent foreign interference in the next election like the one we had in the past. Laura its urgent. Must act because apparently ukraine and russia and china are all now helping trump. This is one of the real problems they have, which i thought turley did a really good job with this. At the rush. You know, they dont even know, they havent even written the articles of impeachment yet. The Intelligence Committee report that all of these three professors had read it was not even prepared 24 hours before the testimony. That is just unheard of and i just think it hurts them and they dont have a good explanation. Laura ap reporting tonight that although no date has been set, the democrats are hoping for a christmas time on removing the 45th president. Is a stark partisan undertaking. A situation pelosi had hoped to avoid but now seems inevitable. By the way, they are throwing in Robert Mueller. They might throw him in the mix as well. They mustve watched my impeachment angle last night. This is desperation. They dont have enough of anybody or even put together enough. And the desperation shows. I can say in a real court these people would not be allowed to testify even as expert witnesses. No knowledge, we dont know what the facts are, unable to get beyond the law, and it really shows. Interrelated the right thing, which is stepping back from their myopic vision and what harm they are doing to the constitution because these are the new rules that are going to happen to every future preside president. And more portly, turley says and i agree, this is not a perfect phone call to him. He is disturbed by the phone call, as i am, too. But guess what . Laura i am not disturbed by it in the slightest. I know you are not, but i am. On the point is people can disagree about that and still realize that you cant impeach a president of the United States a year before the election based on this. They can vote him out if they dont like it. Laura 11 months from now. As i mentioned just a few moments ago, nadler laid the groundwork. You listen closely, for resurrecting. People are going to think this is just ridiculous. Like a fantasy. The Mueller Report from the grave. Watch. President trump welcomed foreign interference in the 2016 election. He demanded it for the 2020 election. On july 24th, the special counsel testified before this committee. He implored us to see the nature of the threat to our country. Laura adam schiff said this investigation is ongoing, by the way. Over in the house intel, so this may be a rolling investigation. Maybe they will keep it rolling, maybe not christmastime. Kick it over to the new year and see how that works out for them. Maybe we ought to look at adam schiff actually digging out the phone record on john solomon. This is an extraordinary violation of Constitutional Rights that adam schiff has now admitted to. Jerry nadler and professor carlin made this point, and its a laughingstock point. That trump invited russian hacking when he said hillary destroyed the emails on her private server. Maybe we should ask the russians for them. The notion they are making this into the big lie that he somehow invited the russian hacking, which is utter nonsense. He was making a laughable joke about hillary keeping emails on a private server that every government of the world had access to because it was unsecured. It would be laughable if it wasnt so deadly serious, and what they are doing, undermining this country. The president is over at a nato meeting and they are pulling this crap. This is stunning to me. Laura i will say it again, any time the president of the United States can be mocked the way he was by academic elites. He looks like he is right out of Nicholas Nickleby from 1997. One is angry and the other one is flat and boring. I think people are watching this and going, how are the patriots doing . What is going on with the saints game . The appearance of this, they did themselves no favors, politically. Who wants to hear professors prattle on . Laura what i love is they are always undermining the framers, the founders. As old dead white guys. Then today, as George Washington said in his farewell address. They were all originalists today, so that was refreshing. But ideology aside, the utter stupidity of bringing barron trump in is just mindboggling to me. Let me tell you, that is who she is. That was a planned and choreographed line. That was a set up question, she knew she was going to say it. She got applause. Absolutely. From the stanford law faculty room. Laura exactly. Thank you very much. A real legal eagles. Two key testimonies that couldve heard the democrats. A member of the Judiciary Committee, and a member of the clinton impeachment is here to respond. Henry says yes, he is here with exclusive reporting next. Tech so you think this chip is nothing to worry about . Well at safelite, we know sooner or later every chip will crack. These friends were on a trip when their windshield got chipped. So they scheduled at safelite. Com. They didnt have to change their plans or worry about a thing. Ill see you all in a little bit. And i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust. Plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. Customer really . tech being there whenever you need us thats another safelite advantage. Singers safelite repair, safelite replace. Doctor bob, what should i take for back pain . Before you take anything, i recommend applying topical relievers first. Salonpas lidocaine patch blocks pain receptors for effective, nonaddictive relief. Salonpas lidocaine. Patch, rollon or cream. Hisamitsu. Laura democrats are preparing to take the plunge. Sources telling fox that pelosi asked her caucus, are you ready . If you have a problem with impeachment, now is the time to speak up. The Washington Post is reporting that the caucus erupted in shouts of yea approval when she said this. But our moderate democrats really on board . Joining me now with exclusive insight, fox news chief National Correspondent ed henry, host of americas news headquarters with ed henry. What are you hearing from your resources tonight . I talked to several Senior Republicans and they told me that they think this hearing went so poorly for the majority. The g. O. P. Leaders are hopeful they are going to get even more democrats voting no on articles of impeachment beyond the two democrats who voted no on opening this inquiry last month. The only two democrats to break with their party and vote no, remember, tom peterson of minnesota, jeff andrew of new jersey. He told Minnesota Public Radio at the time what ive said all along is that you cant do this with one party. Its not smart, its not going to work. If this is handled incorrectly it will reelect trump. Thats what i think. Republicans tonight including jim jordan, who i spoke to a few moments ago, think even more trump leaning democrats will agree with that sentiment and vote against articles because jerry nadler today opened the door to drafting a least one article of impeachment based on the Muel
