argument has been coming in and around the white house over the last day is that this whistleblower shouldn't be considered that at all. president kump suggested the whistleblower and whoever gave them the information is close to spy while the president outside legal counsel is questioning that label as well. >> the whistleblower that's individual decided to spy on the president trump based on your information, that's a better way of saying it. this wasn't drafted by this individual. this was written by a law firm. the american people see it for what it is. >> the confirming parts of the complaint think lawyers directed moving the call to a more highly secure system. it's unclear why it's procedure within this white house. nancy pelosi described that

movement as a cover-up but the focus should be on the president's request to have ukraine investigate joe and biden. >> that's interesting. the president of the united states whose taxpayer dollars, for own political gain. >> the white house is in the middle of an ongoing policy process that might limit investment flows into china. this is being framed as protecting u.s. investors and also the source intend that this is not a part of the trade talks with china. >> this is what it looks like when congress makes a mad -- to get out of d.c. this is called a jail break in washington. their two-week recess, that's

what's going on. the u.s. now historic uncharted territory. nobody knows where this is going. will americans seek this push that it is so urgent that it cannot await an election? was taken to our panel. great to see you both. let's start with you, jim. >> there was all this hoopla that this would be devastating. it may be bad but it's not criminal. you look at that phone call closely, it does not add up to any of the mafia parallels or shakedowns or verbiage coming out of washington. it looks like they can call it may be a little clumsy but nothing that violates the statute. >> one phone call is not misdemeanor, enough to overturn an election.

john, let's take it to you. they're going on recess, the democrats going into 2020 , the policies are higher taxes. they're going into it empty-handed. they're trying to fast-track impeachment about the holidays. what's your take? >> it's a bad strategy from the start. nancy pelosi has flipped flopped. her initial position was to stay clear from impeachment talk. given the huge pressure coming from the far left, she spent for us to entertain it. they are alleging treason without a reason. before information was being released in terms of the, they didn't know the details. without knowing the details of the complaint and transcript,

they've already passed an indictment and public company. i think it was a bad strategy, the fact that they raised $13 million within 48 hours, is will get the vote out an even higher level than 2016. >> before congress even read the transcript. >> the word official. >> there's talk that there's the treaty signed in 1999 when he was senator. there was mutual legal assistance, cooperation between ukraine and u.s. looking to legal issues and other issues. i'm not sure if that applies

here. what's your take? >> there are legal mechanisms that allow them to have their branches exchange information, check targeting, there's a lot that can be done. ukraine has a rough and rowdy history. probably a lot of that attributable to the neighbors to the east but bottom line, is not improper to encourage anticorruption efforts. the problem is objects about biden specifically. the president should have probably left that out. it doesn't graduate to high crimes but that's the awkward moment. >> we got security leaders writing a later letter saying it's unconscionable. impeachment comes amid a divided

america. the control of congress has been flip-flopping since the late 80s. that's when you saw special counsel take hold. we've got a broken government. >> when the opposition party doesn't have a platform and to go back to the previous point, people wonder why the president is focusing on this, the only time to address corruption is anytime between now and now. should i wait until after the election? no, let's drain it globally because it undermines government.

>> here's what's going on, too. the approval rating is at 45%, one of clinton's approval rating, this feels like a push by the democrats and the media to drive the approval rating down. watch this montage of media talking about the mentality in the white house. >> like any mafia boss, the president didn't need to say that's a nice country you have, it would be a shame if something happened to it. >> he will plan that family. >> i would say it's a typical transcript. >> two people who see this in movies, is this something president do?

>> i've read some of the conversations they've had over the years, it's not that. this is absurd. to say this is the smoking gun evidence that trump is a soprano but again, whatever your political party, it does not have earmarks of a hyperbole. >> thank you for joining us. let's check your money on the markets. >> a volatile day in the markets. the white house is considering losing u.s. investment in china, that could include lowering the chinese. nasdaq down 91. they're spending a little like. we were laying off thousands

>> we've gone from gridlock, but now impeachment is the new normal? the agricultural bills, impeachment related delays will hurt their businesses and jobs. they are going to blame congress. richard nielsen will move ahead. so you're saying this is our new normal? >> i really think so. i think the games are here to stay. impeachment started the day after he won the election. i do think some things will get done. i think some forget done, it's not a huge lift for them to get it done. they will push out and at least not for the foreseeable future.

it's going to be hard to do big things. is china going to say maybe we could wait trump out or what they say we can strike a deal? >> a warning that the 2020 democrats push shut down the fossil fuel industry would trigger at least a two and a half year recession, crush with the democrats need to win. when does your hair caught on fire? that was a joke. when you say, this is not getting into dangerous territory? is it when trump's approval rate gets to 30, 35? >> the most important thing, looking at republican support.

in the first half of september, the pole was at 91%. the pole is only done every two weeks. the next pole would be the last half of september. it's probably going to come down a bit but there's talk and as people look at the transcript and complaints, you are right about the fossil fuel industry. that would be a real loss. >> next time you get to come back and tease me. good to see you. just ahead, the house moves to block trump to get border wall funding. thomas shutting down democrats and their talking points on the

for the fight over funding, border security earlier today, the house joins the senate to block trump declaration to reprogram funds for the border. >> this has been a big fight the senate voted this week to terminate the declaration of the national emergency. the same thing happened in march. today the house followed the suit of the senate. they voted 236 -- 174. the national emergency will stay in place.

they don't have the votes to overcome a veto. that requires a two thirds vote. trump vetoed five bills in his presidency, this would probably be a sixth. they are essentially a fight over the border wall until later in the fall. the chairman of the appropriations committee went to the white house today meet with the president and talk about appropriations and that will be next. >> who will talk to a former ice acting director about this and more. thirteen people died from a mystery lung and was linked to vaping. ten states reporting deaths. 805 people sickened across 46 states. the cdc once they are linked to marijuana vaping products.

said there's a potential issue with the phone call. the following day , john went to the white house and reviewed the transcript of the phone call between the president and ukrainian leader. according to a person familiar with the event, beginning august 19, there is confusion among officials because the cia made them aware of the phone call but the cia had not been for made a formal referral. the situation was resolved august 26. >> nor assessment, where does this had? your hearing the state department are asking for this.

i thought they wanted to fast-track impeachment. >> there are couple of things that stand out to me. if they go the route of subpoenaing records, almost all of these ended up in court. whether the lowercase other cases, democrats say republicans are not allowing oversight. the republicans argue that this is harassment and not designed to get to the bottom of the facts. the other thing, as we learn more about the whistleblower complaints, more of the threads will start to unravel. one thing we learned today, and official worked there has since left. their job was to handle the transcripts. a year ago, they were placing the transcripts in the

top-secret computer system with codeword, access. he didn't see a difference between the whistleblower alleged into the complaint and what he knew a year ago. it was a different handling of the record. the federalist is reporting there was a change in regulations within the intelligence community that allowed the whistleblowers to come forward if they had secondhand information. it could only be if they had first-hand information and documentary evidence. that change opened the door for the complaint released this week. >> i don't know how you keep track of that. great to see her. coming up, trump said no if's and/or but.

earlier today, president of iran claimed the u.s. proposed to lift sanctions to start talks. trump fired back debunking the claim tweeting, iran wanted me to look at sanctions to meet. i said no.

what is going on? >> think the best way to understand what the disinformation is about comes in the context of iran's domestic politics. the president has been a hardliner but more pragmatic than the hardliners who have been criticizing him for the going to the united nations and falling back. i think this statement was make himself look better, look like be assertive leader who rejected desperate u.s. and diminish the u.s. negotiating position. i think is a tried and true tactic which often behaves like a squid that injects inc. into muddy water to confuse enemies and encourage its own people. >> but nobody would believe that.

they warned iran. >> i think that could be another reason why he's trying to distract the iranian people from what could be a coming disaster if the europeans are actually follow through and trigger the snapback sanctions the un, iran would be much worse off. >> the pentagon sent 200 troops to saudi arabia. what's going on here? is a to close the blind spot or is there something else? >> i think that's part of it, boost the air defense capabilities but also it's an important political system that the u.s. is standing by. the arab kingdoms have faced threats from iran. >> with a strike back?

>> i think stocks the 64-dollar question. >> i be surprised if they follow through. they say they are holding the option open but the saudi's in the past have been precious and avoided picking a fight with iran. i think they are taking the time in finding evidence to show the world probably at the un that it was iran behind the attack. >> thank you for joining us. mark on the democrats thinking they can sue the white house. our new idea of the biden chance. this would hit your retirement savings pretty hard. elizabeth warren dodging questions about raising taxes.

and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor,

since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

seen in my career. this congress waited 8 weeks to pass a desperately needed supplemental funding for overcrowding at the border patrol stations. liz: thomas homan is asking why did it go this way? his office had a lot of help they needed under the obama administration. he says politics is getting in the way. watch this. >> these are american patriots. they need to be honored and not vilified by members of congress. >> please respect the charm is authority. >> mr. homan. >> i am a taxpayer, you work for me. liz: i'm a taxpayer, you work for me. >> he's a strong advocate for the workforce. the frustration is guys like

him, people who are operators, they know how to fix this problem and congress has done very little to help us. this congress did little to nothing while we had the worst surge at the border in years. liz: 811,000 people apprehended at the border so far this year? that's about the size of indianapolis. that's an as row mom cal amount of people trying to cross. america is a generous nation. we need to handle problems with our military vets. we have a homeless crisis exploding in california. we have terror problems in this country. do the democrats get it? >> apparently not. they have not done a thing to change the immigration

framework. if it was 811,000, 2/3 of that number were people who came as children alone, or families that brought their kids to the border. all of those in those two situations they have been released into the country. why would they stop coming if congress isn't going to close the loopholes. the congress has to close the loopholes in the immigration laws or the voters have to engage and get people into the house who will make this problem go away. you are always going to have traffic at the border. but the wait frame work is established now. but for this president, engaging with mexico getting them to .their work on the border. changes in the asylum laws. the administration is doing what the congress can't. liz: thank you for watching.
