the opponents of the move in the supreme court already struck down a very similar law in texas and they warn that this is a thinly veiled attempt to give the justices a chance to take steps towards chipping away at roe v. wade. planned parenthood warning, this case could decide the future of abortion access in this country. pro-life group say they are hopeful because the court has shifted with president trump's two nominees that have been confirmed since the earlier texas case has been decided. alliance defending freedom said, quote, louisiana's that ensure the maximum amount of that would be june 2020 and, bret, that's right in the middle of the present initial election. >> bret: is also packed, it's filled with hot issues. >> one of the most-watched cases of the term is coming up. justices are going to be able to

>> we feel we are on very solid ground as we move forward. >> we will i don't care about biden's campaign, but i do care about corruption. >> i am running for president for three reasons, to restore the soul of this country, bring back some decency and honor to the white house. >> bret: well, the impeachment is still kind of in full blast. in fact, moments ago the house moved to subpoena, a letter to the white house requesting documents on this whole issue. the president in the meantime is focusing on how there how the whistle-blower was handled and the talked about. listen to adam schiff. >> we have not spoken directly to the whistle-blower. we would like to. but i'm sure listen to the concerns that he has not been advised as a log required by the inspector general or the director of national intelligence to how he's to communicate with congress.

the whistle-blower is retaliation. >> i heard adam schiff got four pinocchios. that's good. he should've gotten that four and a half years ago. >> bret: "washington post" delivering the pinocchios, nothing wrong with dodging the question. clearly made a statement that was false. he says he was answering the wrong question but if that's the case he should've correct the record. goes on that, pretty scathing. let's bring in our panel. guy benson, political editor at townhall.com and host of the guy benson show. mollie hemingway okay, thoughts on this day, this week, this moment. it changes every few? >> it's been a very long month this past week. and i am very much were ready for the weekend and i expect the president might be too, on the twitter machine, on the

golf course. there are some very serious questions that the white house needs to answer. i think that this argument that the process around how they whistle-blower complaint was filed and how it came to be, interesting, relevant, not the main story. the main story is what the president did, what the president said, and why he did and said those things. i think it's smart, frankly, from the white house perspective in terms of how to fight back on this to make schiff front and center. i do not think he is a credible person. i think he has honesty problems as we saw with the four pinocchios award he got from "the washington post" on this. he is a lightning rod. and i think to focus on a lot of the response onto him is wise. >> bret: the president seemed to change his strategy a bit talking to reporters directly saying china and ukraine should investigate because of corruption, he insisted not politics. mitt romney tweeted out when the

only american citizen president trump singled out for china's investigation is his political opponent in the midst of a democratic nomination process, strains credulity to suggest it's anything other than politically motivated. by all appearances, the president's brazen and a president appeal is wrong and appalling. thoughts? >> i'm going to disagree with the guy a little bit on what the manager is because it relates to all of this. there has been an effort to get rid of donald trump going back many years been the first effort failed whether it's going at the electoral college or the russia hoax which went on a long time and attempt to get him out by being upset, falsely being accused of as a traitor, he was obstructing justice. it's in the midst of this seeing how the kavanaugh fiasco played out. the people are not willing to believe what they are told is some huge problem, particularly when it's running in the exact

same style as these other things were rotten. i think the problem for democrats is people are not really buying what they are selling about being a problem. they know enough about what happened in 2017, foreign agencies were meddling in our own election in the idea you can't investigate that without them getting in trouble again, that doesn't sit well with a lot of people. >> bret: my point is first there's the talk of the whistle-blower, the stories, the white house put out the transcript. it was right there, the transcript. they were questions about the transcript, whether it was edited or something. the president came out and talk to reporters and essentially said china and ukraine should investigate the bidens. >> not just this week, he's been saying this going back months and saying it publicly which is why people are having a hard time buying that what he was doing was somehow the various because he's been saying it clearly and it's pleasantly, he wants to get to the bottom of some of these things. i do not think people are buying it. >> i appreciate mollie's

perspective. i agree that the american public is exhausted from these issues, they are tired talking about impeachment, russia gate, all these factors. i think when you read that transcript you look at what kurt volker put into the public domain yesterday with the very clear exchange where the president seems to be wanting to get a deal, zelensky wanted a deal to get a meeting in the white house and related to a national security issue, which is whether you provide this aid to ukraine or not. i think this goes back and we'll remember being on a stage with tom cotton at the convention of the republican convention asking him about the rumors i was hearing at the time about trying to interfere in the republican platform over aid to ukraine. this ukraine thing has been around a lot, and it matters how you see it in black and white with president doing it, it's not something you can walk away with it doesn't mean there aren't nefarious players trying to do it.

i do think it's in -- >> we need to be accurate about what happened. what kurt volker did testify and what happened is he completely undermined the impeachment claims being put forward. he explicitly talked about what the strategy was and said there was no quid pro quo and that was not an issue the administration was dealing with. people are trying to redefine what he said as if he said something -- >> no, i think her volker was putting out the trust and integrity of joe biden. i think you are right -- he did say that. i know he said that. but he also said, as you said, the quid pro quo that many people were assuming was not there -- but i think that's kurt vogel's assumption. when you look at other pieces of the puzzle, people who are fair and judicious can make different opinion. >> the white house has been transparent. mollie, your point is taken. there has been a boy who cried

wolf problem for many of the president's critics, but we can look at each instant individually and the polling has shifted on this. a lot of people are taking this more seriously. >> i don't even buy of that. we can't even get in the impeachment vote in the house if it were so popular i imagine we already have voted. >> bret: what about that process and that attack by the white house saying we aren't going to cooperate. >> it's hard to take it seriously when they are taking it seriously. you said it's a good idea to put schiff in front? she put schiff in front and he has a history of not telling the truth, falsely claiming he has evidence of collusion with russia, and falsely claiming, describing what's happening with ukraine. he's had so many problems it's hard to take it serious. >> bret: this is not ending anytime soon. >> no, we are going to see civil war right up to the election. >> bret: political.

>> we've got real problems out there. the economy may be doing well but you look at the numbers, 3.5% unemployment. almost no space for it. we are going to talk about it, but people having problems with it and it's a tragedy in a way that this has to happen, it'll be a brutal and nasty fight and people are exhausted and there are other real problems in the country that we need to be dealing with. >> bret: friday lightning round, state of the economy, candidate casino, yes, we are going there. and the winners and losers.

>> bret: 's in spite all of this, the white house celebrated today because just mentioned, u.s. jobs report, the u.s. economy adding 136,000 jobs, slower than predicted but the market loved it because an employment rate fell 3.5%, lowest in 15 years. gdp growth is down, but unemployment rates is also significant way down. most importantly, average hourly earnings up, quickly on the economy we've got a lot to get to here. >> people are coming back in the workforce which is a really good number there. so record low and a prominent 50 years as you say including a new low for his pending employment, a tied low for african-americans

unemployment. there have been red flags in the economy that the media has really focused on, but fundamentally it's strong and we saw under the today about good projected holiday spending among consumers, so this economy is still one of the strongest assets the president has going into next year. >> republicans want to talk about it but they want to talk about impeachment too much. we are going to take a trip to candidate casino. is it there? is it still there? sometimes the candidate casino doesn't start right away, but we are there. mollie, you were denied a trip to the casino last time. >> i'm excited. >> bret: 45 >> $45 on warren but she seems to be doing well. i've got numbers on the theory that none of the potential nominees can do what it takes to beat trump.
