complaint itself, that the whistleblower did not have firsthand knowledge of the call between donald trump and ukraine's vladimir zelinski. donald trump argued it is the latest witchhunt by the democrats. the white house is considering releasing a transcript of the call but there are concerns about doing. >> it is not great president to release calls with foreign countries, heads of foreign countries. i will tell you it is a great call. a very honorable call. a nice call. >> reporter: democrats are demanding access the whistleblower complaint and hear directly from the person who filed it. so far the administration has not allowed either of those to happen which is pushing more democratic lawmakers to come out in support of opening and impeachment inquiry. here is chuck schumer. >> how long must we wait for our republican colleagues to rise up

protect his future run for president of the united states. >> i am sick and tired of this president's conversations with foreign leaders being leaked to the media and democrats on capitol hill. i don't remember one of those happening under obama or any other president. our president has to be able to speak to other heads of state without this kind of tierney taking place. >> began with this first conversation with australia, donald trump made clear he does not plan on releasing his phone call transcript despite three house committee threatening to subpoena over the information. so much to come. secretary of state mike pompeo praising the uk, france and germany for publicly blaming iran for an attack on saudi arabia oil facilities. mike pompeo tweeting this will strengthen diplomacy and the cause of peace. we urge every nation to join in this condemnation of iran's actions, this comes as iran's foreign minister says he will not sit down with donald trump to discuss the new nuclear deal,

>> deputy attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. is that i never get searched when i go to the white house, i could easily wear a recording device. he was not joking. he was absolutely furious. >> former deputy attorney

general ron rosenstein claimed he was joking when he and andrew mccabe discussed recording the president but now some new memos written at the time reveal he was serious so how should the administration respond to this? david bruno says we need to take anything mccabe says with a grain of salt and he joins me to explain, thanks for joining us. can't listen to mccabe. what do you think happened? is going on? >> on the key piece the inspector general referred to the department of justice and more recent news said that the part of justice are inviting. we will see but here is what i think about the story. i think this brings credibility to rosenstein. because rosenstein had towed the line on both sides. he started by writing a memo recommending firing comey, then

appointed mueller, oversaw the mueller investigation and i think the last and final part which is most important to this conversation is he and ag bar shut the door and obstruction of justice. the mueller report closed down conspiracy but left open obstruction of justice and that the time we didn't know why but now we know it is because the memorandum in the department of justice said no sitting president can be indicted but when ag bar got the memo he was with rosenstein and he and rosenstein came to the conclusion the evidence was insufficient to charge donald trump change what about looking back at this quote from mccabe on the rosenstein wire, the deputy attorney general propose he could wear a device to collect additional evidence on the president's true intentions. he thought it might be possible because he was not searched in

the white house and ron rosenstein denying it saying i never approved this and any suggestion i advocated removal of the president is wrong. >> rosenstein said he said it in just. we know from this memo that just came out there were two witnesses in the room. not just rosenstein versus mccabe's version of events. we don't know about those witnesses. we all we know the witnesses were there because the memo was released yesterday. do we want to know if he was telling the truth or in just? ibly20 will that happen? >> probably not. i don't think there will be congressional hearings on this. we didn't know where rosenstein stood before the mueller report came out, but when it first came

out we are talking 25th amendment, talking about that in the context the trump was incompetent and that is not what the memo said. mccabe said in this memo it was more about getting to the firing of comey. this bolsters rosenstein's credibility, nonpartisan process. >> we start our conversation by saying he towed the line but some would say he was playing both sides until he figured out what the end was going to be. >> will he was playing the cards he was dealt at the time. because he did things on the democrat side, appointing special counsel. at the very end that is the most important part to look at and he was part of shutting down the obstruction. ibly21 why? >> washer done obstruction of justice?

ibly20 why did he fall on that side? >> it is the president's constitutional right to fire whoever it is he wants. >> thank you, appreciate it, laying it out for us, 19 after the top of the hour, 60-year-old climate change activist, did you see this yesterday, scorching world leaders on climate change. >> people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. we are in the beginning of a mass extinction. heather: people are dying, mass extinction. our next guest of the child jussie smollett laney the impact that argument and others like it are having on children here at home.

[screaming] heather: a violent attack caught on surveillance camera. a woman who does not want to be identified said the man attempted to assault her after showing him a house in southern california. >> just doing that. heather: the police department is looking for that suspect with a school resource officer is out of a job after arresting first-graders was the orlando police chief says dennis turner broke protocol by handcuffing

the 6-year-old without approval. the children will walk out of school in handcuffs and were taken to a juvenile detention center after throwing some temper tantrums. the police department apologizing. >> to be honest i was sick to my stomach when i heard this. we were appalled. we cannot have them a 6-year-old being put in the back of a police car. >> reporter: charges against the children have been dropped. 16-year-old climate change activist greta thunberg delivering this fiery message to world leaders at the un. >> people are dying. entire ecosystems are collapsing. we are in the beginning of a massacre function. >> it comes as millions of climate protesters hit the streets with a growing number of young people involved saying they are too scared to have kids. here is family therapist darby box.

we appreciate it. a topic to hit on this morning has been so prevalent in the news. i will begin with a young girl herself, greta thunberg. what damage could this be doing? we know from her mother she is on the spectrum, possibly as burgers, adhd and other things, she has development all challenges. >> i want to be careful. i want to applaud her energy and enthusiasm and devotion, very courageous but as someone with as burgers i worry about her being exploited. if you listen to her speech and some of her language there's very little -- i don't believe she connects with what some of that means. it is very sophisticated language and she's very upset which is typical of asbergers to be assessed with a cause which is very good but she make little

connection to the social work, nuances, when you see her speak it is almost here he, as if there is no real connection, the hatred, the anger is not typical. a little scary for someone that age. heather: i do a lot of work with children on the spectrum who grow into wonderful adults, families working with them throughout their lives so we don't mean to disparage those folks but let's talk about the damage this is doing to children who are listening to this message. you hear aoc, the world is going to end and 12 years, things like that. >> kids are very concrete until -- they start around 8-10 depending on their maturity level, they take things very literally. when you hear the world is going to end and it is very polarizing, there is a group of people just wanting to make money and destroying the world for the rest of us it is hard

for kids to understand what that means, it is very scary and it is like a superpower. heather: this poll was done showing most americans are frightened by climate change, 57% of teenagers feel afraid about climate change and another poll we did said climate change should be a factor in having kids. 38% believe climate change be a factor when -- many of them choosing not to have children. >> an interesting statistic because it is more important to think about what we can do to prevent climate change. you want to bring kids into the world and raise them so there's awareness and consciousness on an internal level and how they can interact socially with the world. it is a global overreaction for kids to be afraid to bring kids into the world. heather: one of the reactions is using children in this way when

you see them protesting and screaming and yelling and blocking traffic, you see greta thunberg so upset. >> the link if you can miss school, i wonder how many children connect with climate change. we would do better teaching them what they can do to help or be part of solving the problem. julie: that is what i was going to ask you. thank you so much. we appreciate the insight today. 28 minutes after the top of the are the president plans to address the un with the same unapologetic america first attitude that caught leaders offguard last year and with issues like iran at the forefront what tone should he strike today? foreign policy advisor has a prediction for us next. the dnc made it harder to get on stage for november's debate. new rules coming up.

>> our government's first duty is to its people, to our citizens. as president of the united states, i will always put america first. as my administration has demonstrated america will always act in our national interests. heather: donald trump makes a point to unapologetically push his platform during the general assembly set to take the stage for the third time in a few hours. what major issues should he highlight. a senior advisor to the secretary of state joins us with more. thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. heather: let's bring of the issues going back to 2017 that donald trump brought up at that

time. north korea you can see the iran nuclear deal, america first, terrorism, the cost burden to the un in socialism and in 2018 he spoke about international cooperation, north korea, isis and terrorism and the iran nuclear deal. do you expect to hear the same things this time around? >> i do but i think there will be a further grounding in american values and principles. what is interesting in those, what you just referenced, there is remarkable consistency of ideas, commitment to the national interest, to define america first for the rest of the world and explain america first does not mean the united states is not deeply engaged. on the one side in those prior speeches he talked about the need to be driven by national priorities which include

combating terrorism, defeating isis, having a new iran engagement. on the other side he talked about the need for our partners and adversaries to put their national interests first and in that way we could work together with more clarity. heather: yesterday, what he had to say in reference to iran at the un, let's listen to that. >> a lot of pressure on them right now, more pressure than they ever had. a lot of things happening with respect to iran then you would know. heather: the european joint statement on condemning iran for the saudi oil attacks, they say iran bears responsibly for the attack, there is no other explanation. to accept negotiations on a long-term framework for the nuclear program. my question is what response do you think donald trump will get

from the un and will he get the credit he deserves when it comes to work and successes he has had? >> those are important questions and your sentiment is right. the response to him will be very positive this year because iran's behavior suggested the president was right with the maximum pressure campaign all along, to have the europeans issuing a statement that iran is responsible for the saudi oil field attack and to understand the british prime minister for example declaring we need a new iran nuclear deal that includes regional stability. this fits with what the president has been doing from day one. he is driving the process at the un general assembly meeting this year based on facts on the ground.

heather: interesting to see what the response is. we appreciate your expertise and love to have you join us this morning. have a great day. boeing has opened a $50 million compensation fund for the families of 737 max jet crashes. families of 300 victims will be entitled to $145,000. the max jets were grounded worldwide in march following crashes in indonesia and ethiopia. they have been testing a flight control program that may have led to the crashes. the department of homeland security will end the migrant catch and release policy next week. kevin mc alinin will longer release families from border patrol facilities into the us while they await court hearings. instead of migrant families claim asylum they will be brought to mexico. if not, they will be sent back

to their country of origin is the democrats plan to force a vote to end emergency declaration on border wall funding as early as tomorrow. the dnc requirements for the november debate. to qualify, presidential candidates must reach 3% supporting four approved polls the candidates can still qualify if they receive 5% in two polls in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina or nevada. hopefuls must receive donations from 165,000 individual donors and that is up from 130,000 in september and october for those debates. 2020 hopeful joe biden making his case when asked why iowans should vote for him. >> the unemployment rate is 2.5%. people are employed in iowa and

that is going viral sparking some responses. debbie says can i have your cold cash? by giving away money other people earned. martin on twitter says a millionaire who wears normal people's clothes to make people think he is not rich. he does make a lot of money according to his tax returns. heather: i wonder if he has ever been in cole's or jcpenney. if he is like my husband -- let's talk about joaquin phoenix in this movie joker. the previews look remarkable. carley: he recently walked out of an interview after a reporter asked him if the character the joker would inspire real-world violence. robbie collins asked him aren't

you worry this might perversely end up inspiring exactly the kind of people it is about with potentially tragic results? joaquin phoenix got uncomfortable and said why would you -- and he walked out of the room. he did wind up finishing the interview and saying he panicked because he hadn't thought of that question before. this is working mixed reaction, lauren says great interview, surprised no one framed it that way before. seems like an obvious point to explore the line at which it is right to make these characters heroes but lauren says he did the right thing tweeting good, it is a stupid question. he was totally right to walk out. another example of blurring the lines between movies and real-world and gun violence. heather: if you speak out against the nra and speak about gun violence you have to have a conversation if you are in these films.

carley: it will be interesting to see the movie and i don't blame him for making a comic book movie and say i never thought of this question. heather: let's talk about this thomas cook, passengers came together to raise money for several people who didn't know they lost their jobs until they were midflight. >> thank you so much. heather: this is one heartwarming story on it so much tragedy. 150,000 people left stranded democratic party these employees, some of them found out they lost their jobs midflight. videos like this and plane fulls of people from vegas to manchester who pulled their money together and raise the thousand dollars for employees. one said the crew were

fantastic, so sorry for all the people losing out on the holidays but feel absolutely gutted for the jobs they obviously loved. sad story and crazy that the company totally collapsed so abruptly. a british tour company, the oldest in the world and can't believe 150,000 people were stranded across the country because all their flights got canceled. heather: 15 minutes until the top of the hour, mayor pete buttigieg is a big notre dame fan but he says being a football fan is morally problematic. tommy lauren says the left will take the thought of anything to fit their agenda and she is live next.

>> welcome back. apparently being a college football fan is problematic according to pete buttigieg. the amateur model is not fair to college athletes. does the mayor, and fox nation head -- great to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. the latest thing. >> let's bring it up so people can see it, first you need to look at what we oh students come you get education in exchange for contributing but i don't think that is fair, it is problematic and don't have a solution. comparing football to fossil fuels, i think of it from the

perspective of relying on college football the same way relying on fossil fuel. what is he talking about? >> funny how he had to get the demonization of fossil fuels, couldn't let that go either but this entitlement complex as they put on everyone else's also for me problematic. talking about college athletes, do liberals just want to take the fun out of everything, take your straws, cheeseburgers, your college football because that is morally problematic. seems like everything, every american tradition for the democrats is problematic in some way. daily activities we are no longer allowed to enjoy because democrats say we should feel bad about it. >> how is this going to help on the campaign trail?

>> he doesn't have a solution so sound like a typical democrat. i don't know if the democratic base cares about having solutions or not. i don't think his message an area resonates with average americans especially voters in iowa. i wish him the best of luck but he is toned if on this issue. >> the president choosing religious freedom over climate change at the general assembly. is that more in line with america's values? listen to what he had to say. >> today with one clear voice the united states of america calls upon the nations of the world to end religious persecution. no matter the case america will always be a voice for victims of religious persecution everywhere. >> big moment for the president speaking out for religious freedom but missing the meetings on climate change. >> i think this president is

more consistent with american values. even if he talked about climate change it wouldn't be enough for the left. we are talking america's value, look what is happening in this country over the last week with climate strike protest in los angeles in dc your people gyrating in the streets, it doesn't make sense. when donald trump talks religious freedom and persecution i think that does resonate with average americans and throwing confetti and putting sailboats in intersections and blocking traffic but maybe that is just me. >> not sure what that had to do with climate change. i asked that yesterday on twitter. as we wrap up, the president set to address the un today, his big address. >> we are going to see a message that is truly and sincerely donald trump. he doesn't placate to the globalists or those who seem to have an anti-american agenda or

what he needs to stand up for and that is the american people and our jobs. i have full support behind our president. i know he will make us proud. heather: we will carry it on fox news. you can catch the show, no interruption, only on fox nation. thank you for joining us, great job as always. the time is 6 minutes until the top of the are. talk about teaching a lesson, a mom crashes her son's mapquest a punishing. is that going too far? your comments pouring in on this. one fire department's 9 crowd dad. the new dad, firefighter photo shoot that has gone viral.
