senator judd gregg joined us, one of our closest friends who had been at the ranch that summer because he had played out gore for the debate prep. >> host: the son of a senator. >> guest: exactly. so judd joined us and he and i would look at each other because we were looking over senator kennedy's shoulder to look at the television, the small television in the corner of the office and we were sick and we felt sick. i thought judd looked sick and i'm sure he thought i was sick too because we couldn't imagine. it was a blessing that senator kennedy kept up the smalltalk, a way to process what we were seeing and what it meant and the three of us went out and spoke to the press, we were postponing the briefing, already was in defiance of the terrorists. we would not cancel the briefing, it would just be postponed and as we finished saying we were postponing the meeting, the briefing, lawrence mcclellan from usa today said what do we say to the children? that is when i got the idea of what do we say to the children and i said then, parents need to assure their children they are safe, turn

gregg, let me start with you. chad wolf says that the president has had enough and they are going to be taking action. we see this chaos in great american cities, every city is a great american city. what exactly can the dhs do are the president do to stop this kind of violence? >> well, if there is insurrection in a city and people's lives are at risk, the government under a congressional act is allowed to go in. there are also allowed to protet federal property. a lot of this is happening due to the protests. you know, let me say this. black lives do matter, this is an important movement because it brings needed overdue attention to the fact that there is racial injustice and that african-americans are in many cases unfairly targeted by police. so people need to speak about it. they need to protest and demonstrate for better government, better policing, training and reforms. but the constitution and these cherished rights of assembly and to protest your government doesn't give demonstrators a license to turn the

. [♪] gregg: good evening, i'm gregg jarrett sitting in for the vacationing lou dobbs. president trump ending the week with another jab at the absurdity and hypocrisy of the radical dimms, calling their impeachment hearings the most unfair in american history. the president exasperated by nancy pelosi's refusal to send articles of impeachment to the senate, agree qught analysis from yours truly that pelosi's stall tactics are exposing the weakness of the democrats' case. the oldest play book of all, lie, then lie some more. pelosi released edited video clips of schiff's witnesses. the videotape ignoring the fact that all of those witnesses failed to offer any such direct evidence. while the left plays their partisan games. president trump is celebrating another banner year in the oval office boosted in large part by the booming economy. the dow and s & p reaching new highs today and wages for the typical worker in america rising faster than a decade. consumer confidence is high and unemployment stands at its lowest level in half a century. the president enjoying the str

gregg: jenna ellis, thanks for being with us. president trump can celebrate another achievement this year. his remain in mexico policy is starting to so results -- to show results at the southern border. >> the on place i want to be is the united states. i never thought i would be returned here to juarez. reporter: thousands of mexican returned to mexico to await asylum. >> i came for opportunity in the united states, but the reality is different. reporter: since the trump administration unveiled its remain in mexico program, 65,000 migrants are forced to wait in mexico for a u.s. judge to hear their claim. the program according to a new study is doing exactly what the president intended. reducing the caseload and deterring others from making the trip. of 24,000 cases, judges denied 15,000 claims or 63%. 117 migrants actually received asylum. a rate of less than 1%. others were dismissed on procedural grounds. >> it's not just for people seeking asylum. it's for people who cross the border illegally. they are essentially on a det

from our fox news legal analyst, gregg jarrett, thank you for pointing us. i want to start with you because donald trump is on the phone, "fox & friends" for an hour. talking about this upcoming report. suddenly, less than eight hours later, magically "the new york times" and "the washington post" suddenly come out with this story. is that a coincidence? what's going on here? >> i don't think this is a coincidence. once the president spoke about the president is privy to a lot more than we are right now. i'm sure that attorney general william barr has maybe briefed him about the upcoming report and the people that have been interviewed by horowitz are trying to get ahead of everything for that's what they are doing, jason. they are trying to get ahead of the narrative. they wanted to be there narrative before the report comes out. this is something that's done in washington quite often, especially when someone like kevin clinesmith, who really isn't a low level at the fbi -- she's with the national security division. he is with the applications that are taki

will president do this to get congress focused and author of witch-hunt, gregg jarrett. you have the knack of writing these amazing books at the right time. >> this is "witch-hunt," the sequel. charles: i watch the thing, even if you don't want to use the term witch-hunt, fishing expedition. we'll find the crime in real time. last week it started with quid pro quo, went to bribery, finished with witness intimidation. >> it is silly. first of all the adam schiff created the witness intimidation by reading the tweet. defending yourself publicly in a tweet against false accusations is not witness inteldation. it is clearly defined in the law and this ain't it. bribery, by the way, is quid pro quo. so simply changing the name doesn't alter the equation that there is no evidence in the transcript of the telephone call of a quid pro quo. charles: apparently they did a focus group. >> yeah. charles: bribery resonated more than quid pro quo. that is why the name was changed. >> of course. you know, bribery is what members of congress do every day. they take all kinds of money fr

he has no other choice. >> sean: also, jenna, gregg, thank you. the president released his very first telephone call with ukrainian counterpart president zelensky showing that he agreed to meet him without any preconditions. wow, another example. here with reaction white house press secretary stephanie grisham is with us. stephanie, you know, the interesting thing is you can bring in all the interesting people you want. hearsay, i say, you say, grandma's, nephews, uncles, sons, brothers, cousins, neighbor actually told me this and that's why i believed it. at the end of the day, you have the transcript. at the end of the day it's all there. it was never any mention of money. that fact doesn't change. they did nothing to get the money. so, it's a little bewildering to me that we actually are in this insane position. >> well, sadly, it's not bewildering to me after watching schiff and pelosi and their antics. but, again, they have been trying to undo this presidency since he won in 2016. you are right. he released the transcript today of the first c

gregg, i agree with jenna. there is very, very serious side of this. you look at the inspector general comments aboutut mccabe, comey, you look at the conduct of hillary, you look at premeditated fraud on the fisa court. outsourcing of spying. weaponizing the powerful tools of intelligence. this is a crossroads, in my view. i think jenna is right, for this country. your reaction? >> unequal enforcement of the law. selective prosecution. and it's still going on right. now in this impeachment inquiry which is really a vaudvilleian act with charlie chaplin at the helm, aka adam schiff. republicans can't call witnesses. the president has no ability to defend himself. so he goes over everybody's head, to the american people h in social media, and issues a tweet. it is not witness intimidation. that's absurd. that's clearly defined under american law, one of three things, physically harming a witness, bribing a witness, or coercing a witness to lie. simply pleading your case under the first amendment and criticizing a witness who is leveling false accusation

let's talk about it with gregg jarrett, fox news anchor and attorney as well. so we are set for a battle, the federal government versus cities, states, individual counties. who holds the upper hand here, who is going to win? >> clearly the federal government. article one, section 8 of the constitution, gives the power of the federal government, specifically congress, the right to dictate and regulate immigration enforcement. and congress has done that. 21 years ago, congress passed a law that outlawed sanctuary cities. and president obama's own department of justice followed that up by saying not only is it illegal to be a sanctuary city, the president can legally withhold federal funds for those cities and counties that are sanctuary cities. so president trump is simply now enforcing existing law. >> jon: so, if these sanctuary cities, i mean, many of them say we don't encourage illegal immigrants to come and stay, but if they are here and we find them, we feel no compunction to turn them over to federal authorities. can they get away with that? >> they should

>> not burger king. >> gregg: i was getting hungry. >> he's one of our favorites. >> gregg: i thought i was going to get a whopper or something. okay, thanks. >> jenna: president obama is ending the so-called wet foot, dry foot policy, allowing cubans to make it into the united states to stay in the country legally, the move coming after months of negotiations with the cuban government, steve is live in photo with more. >> jenna, this is really a sudden move by the u.s. government, and it really wipes out a law that has been on the books for 20 years. it allowed cubans who reached dryland in the u.s. making soil able to stay in the u.s. without a visa, and basically to become permanent residents within a year. there were years that if the negotiations became public it could spark a mass exodus of cubans getting on rafts, risking their lives, that is something neither side wanted to happen, but a lot of cubans on the island knew this could be coming when negotiations started to pick up some steam, so really we have seen a spike in cubans coming to the u.s. in the past year, more than 5

"a hard object was placed in the back of the victim. that victim felt there was a firearm placed against heights park -- in west allis. but something more sets this crime apart.

"no body has more buses in this part of the state." their ride may be warning lights prior to the actual stop of the school bus and the unloading and loading of children." the flashing amber light tells drivers the bus is preparing to stop or has just finished a drop off. milwaukee teachers caught their own bus ride monday following an mps teacher pep rally.
