safe districts. those people challenging in the primaries, the incumbents or the moderates you end up putting up extremists so they in totally red states, like missouri, indiana, now alabama, west virginia, the democrats start winning. and the republican party as a whole suffered because they had ideologically pure component. i think they are trying to avoid that. >> jason: i kind of disagree with you. i think this is a made for television event. i don't think it's a coincidence seven month nobodies the term and done the last day before they go -- seven months into the term and the last day before going to the recess. why it took seven months i don't get that. but nevertheless. let me move to a slightly different part of the topic here, governor. on the one hand, nancy pelosi will routinely say she believes that donald trump is essentially under the control of the russians. but she is not in favor of
of donald trump, they will take -- they will take any bogus story hook, line and sinker and they will absolutely run with it until the ends of earth to destroy this president. even a few years ago, you know, places like the "washington post," and the "new york times," you know, you know you knew they leaned left. but you also had enough respect for them that you knew they were usually telling the truth or doing their best to tell the truth. they have forsaken any pretense whatsoever that they give a damn about the truth at all. >> jason: doug, jerry nadler produced and -- adam schiff produced no new witnesses and no new facts. mueller said he was going to talk within the four corners of the report. and it didn't turn out the way they wanted to. >> right. >> jason: yet, they still can't decide as to whether or not they are going to pursue impeachment. >> it sounded to me, jason, like they wanted to move forward today. now i had two reactions. first, they should move on. get off this. i want democrats to win.
we have is impeachment. and to consider whether that should be used. >> impeachment confusion could be a problem for moderate democrats from battleground districts. also today, democratic new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez had an audience with house speaker nancy pelosi. ocasio-cortez accused pelosi a few weeks ago being biased against members of "the squad" and women of color. i asked pelosi to describe the differences but she said she wouldn't get into that. when asked if they buried the hatchet, pelosi said there was no hatchet. jason? >> chad, thank you. you can see by some of us who served in congress beat our heads against the wall dealing with swalwell and -- anyway, breaking today. big news from the southern border. the supreme court ruled this evening that the trump administration can proceed with wall construction plans amid the legal fight over the funding. speaker pelosi is not happy. earlier tonight she tweeted,
very able legislator. she likes to say that herself but it is true. let's give her credit for it. this is something she is not used to. mutiny within her own ranks. >> jason: austan, what is your take on it? the idea there is no hatchet is laughable. they have been feuding and alexandria ocasio-cortez has a lot of power because she has a lot of microphone time. >> yeah, look, i think two things. the first is governor huckabee better watch out because that was recorded. we have that on tape. now we are going to keep it. [laughter] look, i think that this is the mature way to approach disagreements on policy is to have a meeting behind the scenes and work out the differences. i think they learned the lesson that the republicans followed throughout the 2000s when obama was there of how not to do it. which is you get ideologically
because 2020, there will be a lot of democrat balloons in the warehouse and nobody will be there to take them down. >> well, i hope you are wrong. >> they'll see re-election of the president. >> jason: austan, last word. ten seconds. >> look, in this, this is the mature way as i say to have two different wings of the party come together,s no do it in public the way the tea party did when they took down their own speaker of the house. >> jason: i give it six or seven days and they will be at each other's throat again. austan goolsbee, governor huckabee, thank you for joining us on this beautiful friday. coming up, the media is in a complete meltdown mode after mueller's disastrous testimony. charlie hurt, doug schoen will be here to tell you why the media is at their all-time worst as this special edition of "hannity" continues. i woulde but i'm a commercial vehicle so i don't have hands... or a camera...or a website. should we franchise? is the market ready for that?

>> you have meetings in your family? [laughter] >> do you she better understands the challenge of your job to unify the caucus after the meeting today? >> you seed have to ask me. >> jason: joining me now is fox news contributor governor mike huckabee and former obama adviser austan goolsbee. governor, i want your take on it. you have held leadership roles at the highest levels. what is your take on the feud between nancy pelosi and alexandria ocasio-cortez? >> congressman, i have often said the most dangerous person in the room is the person who doesn't know what they don't know. the problem with these tigers that nancy pelosi can't time is that they don't know what they don't -- can't tame is they don't know what they don't know. i have a lot of respect for nancy pelosi. i may not agree with her and i hope she is not the speaker next time but she is a
capable, experienced and a very able legislator. she likes to say that herself but it is true. let's give her credit for it. this is something she is not used to. mutiny within her own ranks. >> jason: austan, what is your take on it? the idea there is no hatchet is laughable. they have been feuding and alexandria ocasio-cortez has a lot of power because she has a lot of microphone time. >> yeah, look, i think two things. the first is governor huckabee better watch out because that was recorded. we have that on tape. now we are going to keep it.
