HE'S A FAN FAVORITE NOW, I'LL

TELL YOU THAT.

ING ALL RIGHT, WELL, A FRESHMAN

DEMOCRAT WHO STRONGLY OPPOSES

IMPEACHMENT NOW EXPECTED TO

SWITCH TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

CONGRESSMAN JEFF DREW HAS MADE

IT CLEAR HE THINKS IMPEACHMENT

WILL BACKFIRE ON DEMOCRATS.

RACHEL: AND OVERNIGHT, PRESIDENT

TRUMP REACTING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY,

JEFF.

ALL THE DEMOCRATS KNOW YOU'RE

RIGHT, BUT UNLIKE YOU, THEY

DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY SO.

ED: HERE TO REACT, CONGRESSMAN

LEE ZELDIN.

GOOD MORNING, SIR.

>> GOOD MORNING.

ED: WHAT KIND OF SHOT IN A ARMY

COULD THIS -- ARM COULD THIS BE

FOR THE PRESIDENT AND YOUR

PARTY?

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE

FANTASTIC.

JEFF HAS SEEN THE FOREST THROUGH

THE TREES, CALLING OUT THIS

IMPEACHMENT SHAM FOR EXACTLY

WHAT IT IS.

YOU HAVE 31 HOUSE DEMOCRATS WHO

ARE IN DISTRICTS WON BY DONALD

TRUMP IN 2016, AND THOSE TRUMP

VOTERS IN THOSE DISTRICTS WHEN

THEY WERE SENDING THESE HOUSE

DEMOCRATS TO WASHINGTON, WHEN

THEY WERE VOTING FOR THEM IN

2018, THEY WERE VOTING FOR THESE

HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO GO TO

WASHINGTON AND WORK WITH THE

PRESIDENT, NOT TO GO TO

WASHINGTON AND TO IMPEACH THE

PRESIDENT.

AND SO JEFF VAN DREW IS SOMEONE

WHO WANTS TO BE WORKING WITH HIS

REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE

AISLE IN THE HOUSE AND THE

SENATE, AND THE PRESIDENT IN THE

WHITE HOUSE AS HE'S ARRIVING TO

WASHINGTON, YET WHAT YOU'RE

SEEING IS FROM THE FAR LEFT OF

THE PARTY THESE OTHER FRESHMEN

WAY TO THE LEFT WHO HAVE REALLY

TAKEN OVER A LOT OF THE

DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

THEY'VE ROLLED NANCY BLOATS --

PELOSI, AND THEY'VE GOTTEN THEM

TO DO THIS IMPEACHMENT CHARADE.

JEFF VAN DREW IS SHAKING HIS

HEAD AND SAYING THIS ISN'T WHY I

CAME HERE.

A LOT OF VOTERS ARE SAYING, HEY,

WE YOU TO BE FOCUSING ON

SUBSTANTIVE WINS.

PETE: COLLIN PETERSON OF

MINNESOTA HAS DECLARED HE WILL

VOTE EXISTENCE THESE IMPEACHMENT

ARMS -- AGAINST THESE

IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES.

I'VE GOT TO IMAGINE BEING IN THE

HOUSE YOU KNOW WHAT IT WOULD

FEEL -- I MEAN, WHAT WOULD IT

TAKE TO SWITCH PARTIES AND THE

REACTION AND THE BLOW BLACK JEFF

VAN DREW'S GOING TO GET?

>> YEAH, THAT COMES WITH IT.

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN AS YOU'RE

MAKING A DECISION LIKE THIS,

THERE'S GOING TO BE BLOWBACK

FROM DEMOCRATS.

THE NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR GOING

AFTER HIM.

YOU HAVE SO MANY DEMOCRATS, AND

THIS ADDS TO THE ISSUE, IS THAT

THEY ARE LOOKING AT 3% OF THE

FACTS.

WHENEVER ADAM SCHIFF TELLS THEM

A STORY, IT'S A STORY.

THEY'RE RELYING ON PRESUMPTIONS,

LIES, HEARSAY, THEY'RE TRYING TO

CONNECT DOTS NOT ACTUALLY

CONNECTED WHILE SOMEONE LIKE

JEFF VAN DREW IS LOOKING AT 100%

OF THE FACTS.

HE WANTS TO SEE THE ENTIRE

STORY.

SO THE ISSUE IS NOT ONLY ARE

THESE PEOPLE GOING TO BE UPSET

WITH HIM FOR WANTING TO SWITCH

PARTIES, THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOING

TO BE HONEST ABOUT IT BECAUSE

THEY TOTALLY BOUGHT INTO THE

SCHIFF NARRATIVE AS IF HE EVER

TELLS THE TRUTH.
