tv   Hannity  FOX News  September 24, 2019 10:00pm-11:00pm PDT

10:00 pm
things are really crazy. will be back tomorrow night. 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink. hopefully, with great cheer and not bitterness. sean hannity, speaking of cheer, is in new york tonight. >> sean: all right, tucker. i think we have breaking news tonight. good show, tucker.welcome to ha. it's goingoi to take the full hr to get all of this in. we are going to break this down. we'll give you all the news and information the mob will never give you. here's what's happening. we'll start with a summary.. the psychotic anti-trump hysteria, it has now completely overtaken the entire democratic party. what is happening is dangerous to this country. it is grossly political. it will forever alter how any president in the future, in hiss constitutional role as commander-in-chief, will be able to communicate freely with other world leaders. the world is less safe and secure tonight as a result ofde yet the latest partisan
10:01 pm
witch hunt. we'll break it all down. what we have, though, at the root of all this is an irrational hatred. trump rage. it is all this party, the democratic party, now stands for today.um i will predict tonight, they have done donald trump a huge favor. it will all backfire and blow up right in their face. speaker in name only, nancy pelosi, she was forced to cave to a radical base that announced an impeachment inquiry that wants to impeach president trump.make no mistake, this has nothing to do with ukraine. this has nothing to do with collusion. this has nothing to do with high crimes and misdemeanors, because there are none. this has everything to do with the left's unyielding, unhealthy, what is an obsessive-compulsive hatredd of president trump. they can't accept that he won. that was november of 2016. they are still there. and i think they even doubt they
10:02 pm
can beat him at the ballot box which is why they are trying to do this now. he occupies every single conscious thought in their minds. it's like the moment they make wake up is the moment they fall asleep. donald trump lives in theas heas of these psychotic democrats and their friends in the media mob. he kind of lives there rent free every hour of every second of every day. it is a sickness, but now it's officially hurting thehe country as it rules their lives. so, what are the grounds for impeachment? according to pelosi today, it's about president trump's phone call with his ukrainian counterpart. keep in mind, president trump ordered the transcript beforepel is going to be released. that will happen tomorrow. i have numerous sources telling me tonight that the only thing the president discussed with the new president of ukraine, well was what he ran on, which was ending corruption, which the new ukrainian president pledged to do.as
10:03 pm
by the way, does anyone care at all that ourur president is beig spied on again?we will get intof that tonight. we have transcripts now of the president's conversations with prime minister's and presidents. what foreign leader will ever again be willing to freely talk to a u.s. president? we'll have more on that in a moment. but, according to reports, the whistle-blower complaint about the call, that will be released by the end of the week. but the radical socialist democrats, they just couldn't wait another second. they don't care that they haven't seen the transcript of the call. they don't care that the so-called "whistle-blower" was never a whistle-blower or thattn or hearsay,r had no direct knowledge of what happens on that call. they don't care that ukrainian officials, that's right, and others that actually know what happened on the call, have allvd
10:04 pm
whistle brokers accusations of any quid pro quo. multiple sources confirming to me again tonight that there is no quid pro quo. according q to nancy, it doesn't even need to be a quid pro quo in order to impeach. watch this insanity unfolding.c. >> any other candidates in impeachable events, but this one is the most understandable by the public. it's really important to know this. there is no requirement there be asa quid pro quo in the siconversation. if the president brings up that he wants them to investigate something, that's of his political opponent.so that is self-evident that it is
10:05 pm
not right. >> sean: like a dirty russian dossier. oh, you only care if it's president trump. tell him that vladimir will have more flexibility after the election.and what about let's jr iranian millah says that want to flow us up, wipe us off of the map, race give them $150 billion. all right, nancy. hold your vote. if you're so worried, let's do this. let's see how far the radical democratic party is willing to take this political stunt. i say to the speaker, well, in name only, order the call. i want every one of your democrats on the record. i dare you to do it. now, i'm sure the real speaker, be alexandria ocasio-cortez, will demand it. i also predict you are probably going to buckle, because you know your job's on the line, and you are not in control of your caucus at all. so let's get this on the record. let's see democratic lawmakers you know, ones from, oh, look
10:06 pm
right there, those are all democratic lawmakers that won districts that donald trump won. let's get them on the record. do they have the courage to do that? will they support impeachment over nothing? will they trash the will of their own constituents? will they continue to waste time, taxpayerei money over deranged political folly that will go nowhere in the u.s. senate, and by p the way, congressman golden, congressman maloney, congressman mcadams,con suzy lee and all the rest of them there, what do you see? 31 members of congress must now come out of hiding. we want to know where you stand on your leader of yourr party. do you answer to your constituents or are you joining the squad of radical socialist that want to ban cows and planes and get rid of the lifeblood of our economy, oil and gas, andtad destroy the greatest wealth creating system.
10:07 pm
by the way, do you want that as much as you want to destroy president trump? frankly, i have no faith that you will make the right decision. after all, your so-called leader, nancy pelosi, is now totally and completely controlled by a couple of freshmen lawmakers in congress. the chairwoman who doesn't know the difference between crimea and korea.this is the state of , radical, extreme, democrat socialisthi party. everything is going to be free. for three long years, they have put this country through hell andd they haven't lifted a singe finger, nothing to make this country a more secure country, a better place with more jobs more opportunity, more economic growth.ouwhat are their plans t- to boost american industry and create jobs? where other plans to keep america safe and secure? where are their plans to solve the murder crisis in america's biggest cities like chicago andn
10:08 pm
cities that are experiencing horrible schools?h. the answer is nowhere to be found. that is what today is about. democrats have now spent three years hyperventilatingevery secy hour of every dig about trump. russia, russia, russia, stormy stormy, stormy, impeach impeach, impeach.collusion, colx returns, tax returns, obstruction, obstruction. ukraine, ukraine. how does any of this rage help any american? three long years you have dragged this country and this president, a duly-elected president, through the mud, and we are about to see all of the corrupt dealings and handlings of oh, intelligence, and all the lying and all the conspiracy isy the corrupt media mob in this country. and now to top it off now, no world leader will ever want
10:09 pm
to have an honest phone conversation with any president of the united states. is that good for our safety and security? i would think it's a good thing that we have enumerated powers in the constitution and we have yes, one commander-in-chiefat a. i can't think of a single time in the history of this great country before donald trump where a president's phone calls with other world leaders were repeatedly hacked into and leaked to the public. now, it happens left and right. who leaked the contents of the president's call with the australian prime minister? who leaked whistle-blower, well, it's not a whistle-blower, claims about the call with the ukrainian president? everyone on the phone with the u.s. president is probably saying, oh, it's probably going to be leaked to one day.that wit could potentially advance peace in the world.
10:10 pm
all the democrats seem to care about is their insatiable urge and compulsion to impeach trump. that is why tonight, the real leader of the democratic party is very pleased. take a look. >> i think that we all, many of us, especially from districtstht of the president's decisions are feeling a sense of urgency around this, but the development around the whistleblower are exactly where we need to be going. >> sean: all right, tonight if you care about that sanctitye about real issues that affect this country, let's see, president trump created almost 7 million new jobs over the past three-years, almost 7 million fewer americans are on food stamps, we now have the best employmentnt situation since 19. oh, record low up employment for african-americans, asian americans, hispanic americans, we will in the work place, youth unemployment. for the first time in 75-years,
10:11 pm
the mob will never tell this in the media, we are now a net exporter of energy and are completely energy independent, which, by the way, it's time to send washington a message.that z is less strategically geopolitically important than they've ever been to this country. what happens in the middle east we don't necessarily need to get involved in entanglements that we otherwise would have in the past. you might want to tell your representatives that you don't pay them to spend every second of every day, every year after year, hour after hour trying to destroy a duly-elected president. that's what elections are for. you can tell them you are done with this bs.you are done with l games. you are done with the never ending witch hunts. president trump was duly elected by we, the american people, ins, oh, let's see, spy on him and use russianlys or to quote "the
10:12 pm
new york times," likely misinformation from the get go, that woulde be hillary's dirty dossier that saved her from going to jail, that would be the espionage act. by the way, i wouldn't try it at home, what's hillary did, if you have emailsro that are subpoenai wouldn't acid wash a hard drive with breech bleach and i wouldh it up with hammers. you will be charged with obstruction of justice something they protected her from. it's been three years now. it's time for them to get over. they lost. try and beat donald trump at the ballot box. i don't think you believe you can. by the way, that won't happen if they nominate sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe 30330. thanks to the left's ukrainehyse america a favor, because now joe biden is finally getting exposed and some richly deserved attention for his own ukrainian scandal should shock the
10:13 pm
conscience of every american. we will come back and we will have tonight more of biden's abuse of power.in specificity te media won't go near. joining us to first with more of democrats latest is our very own, ed henry. >> sean, i have some breaking ponews. i spoke to a senior administration official. they are not just releasing thel tomorrow, they will be releasing other documents, including a look at what the inspector general at the intelligence committee found about the whistle-blower who started this whole thing alleging some wrongdoing by the president. here'shi the key information.i'r administration official that the inspector general found that the whistle-blower had "political bias" in favor of a rival candidate of president trump in 2020. now, this official did not have this specific information as to whether or not the whistle-blowerin some sort of td search they found supported joe
10:14 pm
biden or liz warren, i do not have the name of the 2020 candidate. we are going to learn tomorrow and we are learning tonight for the first time here on hannityo that the whistle-blower who has been held up as a truth teller, who is just sort of down the middle and just trying to lay out the facts as they see them about president trump actually, as the inspector general did an investigation here to get at the root of whether or not any of the allegations against the president are true, found some sort of political bias. i don't know if they found emails.if there was an intervieh the whistleblower. but the senior official is telling me that the inspector general found political bias in favor of a rival candidate of presidnet trump.i can guarantee you, basen what h i'm hearing tonight from this official, that we are going to be hearing a lot more about this tomorrow. this official is familiar with the transcript of that call also told meth that there is no smokg gun in this transcript, that it's nowhere near as inflammatory as democrats and some of the media have masuggested. but i will add that this senior
10:15 pm
official told me that there are at least a few words in the words of this official, a fewd words in the transcript that are going to raise eyebrows andshale political headaches for the white house. as you can imagine, there is a lot of back-and-forth about the context of the call, the details.this senior official ths seen the transcript of the call he is telling me that there's absolutely no smoking gun in there that's going to prove anything incriminating. >> sean: i have the same report. my sources are saying absolutely no's quid pro quo.teases like about, they were talking about corruption. the new president ran on an anticorruption platform. to reiterate here, what you are saying is the so-called "whistle-blower," we know it wasn't a real whistle-blowerbecd information, had a political agenda. that is huge bias. here's what i would like to say. is joe biden going to release his conversations. i would like to demand that joe biden now release all of his conversations that he had when he was vice president with ukraine.
10:16 pm
especially now in light of what we learned about joe biden bragging on tape about how he leveraged a billion u.s. dollars. why would a vice president of the united states ever want a prosecutor in ukraine fired? the guy that was investigating his own son and he was tipped off by "the new york times" that his own son was being investigated. there is a lot more to thisstors at this moment. >> it's being scrutinized by what he's done. you are right. isthere are a lot of people raising questions about the president. you playeded the clip. he boasted about getting that prosecutor fired at a time when the obama administration, not the trump administration, was holding aid and loans over the head of the ukrainian government at that time, sean. >> sean: yeah. $1 billion. whoyou fire him in , well, you're not getting the money. same prosecutor investigatingbu.
10:17 pm
that's the same company that his son was involved in. we haven't even touched the china issue.the ig didn't have e bit kale jen dah. -- didn't have a political agenda. i'm shocked. no words yet as to who was spying on the president of the united states. what will be the political gift the biggest gift that he could have asked for heading into 2020 and what the democrats think about pelosi's decision. here live in washington fox news capitol hill senior producer, chad pergram is with us. >> good evening, sean. >> you republicans are
10:18 pm
liberated. on friday afternoon, i spoke with new york representative, a casio cortez. she was a little dejected at the time. disappointed at how long this was taken. she said the move by house speaker, nancy pelosi was precisely what liberals in her district were looking for. no one was happier than al green. he has tried on multiple occasions to impeach the president. tonight, he was very excited. listen to al green. >> i feel that i'm being vindicated. it was lonely, but not as lonely as it has been.i think this is y history now. i don't think that we have control. it will happen. >> chad: but there isskim are sg democrats. she was one of the seven freshman democrats with national security bona fides in "the washington post" today endorsing an impeachment inquiry. that's a seat that republicans want to win back next year. >> this doesn't put you in
10:19 pm
jeopardy electorally in any way? >> you know, it might, but i think the other national security, it might put them in peril, as well. we really felt, though, that there was a line that had been crossed. >> do you think the republican-leaning voters in your district might be upset with you for taking this position? >> before that remains to be seen.so far the republicans i've spoken to in may district have been very supportive. >> chad: tom emmer is a republican congressman from. make no mistake, it will cost them with the majority in 2020. sean. >> sean: chad, good reporting. now, more reaction. house minority leader, kevin mccarthy. first, let me get your reaction thatin we now have the inspector general blowing the lid on the whistle-blower.was ne
10:20 pm
it was second-hand information. also the revelation that there was no quid pro quo involved in this, but this person had a political agenda. i'd like to know what the agenda was. i'd likeerpoe to also know howd anyone get to listen in on a president's call to a foreign leader and leak it? what foreign leader will ever trust talking to a president in the future? >> kevin: i don't know why the democrats are excited. first of all, they just made america weaker. this is similar to all those attacks they made on the president. they've been going after the president even before he was elected. g remember that text, don't worry, we have an insurance policy so he can never win. and now, a whistle-blower who didn't even hear the conversation. what nancy pelosi did was nothing. she didn't bring an inquiry forward. if you want to know what nancy pelosi does tomorrow, read what apaoc does tonight. she tweeted over the weekend that she is now trying to appease the socialist wing of
10:21 pm
the party. they are going to be embarrassed when these transcripts come out. i hope the american public wakes up.ns have we not learned what we just went through the last two years? adam schuff lying to the american public, saying he had proof, more than circumstantial. this has to stop. it's making america weaker. >> sean: i think you are right and it's hurting the country. but there's this other question here. where of this information come from? who was listening in on the president's phone calls?if the d on from our own intelligence agencies, isn't that problematic? is there any foreign plead their will trust talk stock a u.s. president in the fight? >> no. after tomorrow, what world leader is going to have an honest conversation with the president of the united states because they know that whatever they say could be leaked out.ont to go. it only makes whoever is president of the future, that's what we have to have accountability so thatav what happened to this president can
10:22 pm
never, ever happen to anyone in the future. >> sean: you know, it's funny. i agree with what you are saying, too.it was an impeachmet today became an official impeachment inquiry. no different than what they've been doing in the last three years.but nancy pelosi, they cal role, everyone would go on record, and i would like to see that vote happen. >> kevin: that would be nice to happen. >> sean: i don't think it will. >> why aren't we investigating joe biden and hunter biden. if his name was hunter smith, no one would have hired him. he wanted have found a billion dollars in china.an oh lig, a ie wouldn't be hiring -- oligarc inucane wouldn't be hiring him. why do you have a vice president who was running for president and who has never won in the democratic polls.why are they ng
10:23 pm
a. have who says you have to fire season orir' not getting the money. why is no one up in arms about that and why is that not being investigated? >> sean: well said. no background in oil, energy, or gas.atno background in private s wit. pretty good gig. obviously, he's pretty well connected. amazing thing happens. he has no background at all in private equity. the chinese government company they give him a billion-dollar deal.whitey bulger is involved. his son is involved in that. there is a great indicator that maybe things aren't great. no background. i would think goldman sachs or any of the big banks might be considering they had no experience. >> kevin: but they weren't walking off with the last name biden. that'spe the difference. >> sean: mccarthy, thank you. someone may want to remind joe
10:24 pm
30330 that this is bad news for him. he might want to steer clear of the subject entirely instead of using it to trash president trump. joe, let me tell you what's going to happen. you're going to have to now answer questions. how is it your son with no experience in oil, gas or energy gets this deal from burisma holdings? they warned you that your son was being investigated. you did lie to peter doocy the other day when you said that he is asking the wrong questions. that was actually the right question. the question is why former vice president biden did you then take taxpayer dollars $1 billion, and say fire him. got about six hours. or i'm not giving you the moneyd him. take a look. >> the allegations that blocked hundreds of millions of dollars,
10:25 pm
he blocked hundreds of millionsd company, that's an allegation, unless he agreed to smear his political opponent is not the conduct of an american president. >> sean: pretty big change of heart. biden actually engaged in the very thing that he was accusing president trump of doing. today fake news cnn, actually shocking, and his colleagues was something they don't often hear. a little bit of truth. how did this possibly sneak in? take a look. >> biden does have a problem, by the way. i have to say. $50,000 a month for hunter biden, clearly to beselling info one would ever pay that i mean kind of company for a company that was, frankly pretty corrupt and has been before and has been since. it's hard to imagine biden wasn't aware ofit it. >> is that joe biden's problem?
10:26 pm
>> if this ends up being an al franken moment where he gets thrown under the bus, then maybe that's what they need to do. >> yeah, maybe. >> sean: drag an entirecountry e biden's son made billions in endeavors he has no experience in? this scandal is not going away. the timeline, as we point out is very. pay close attention and follow the timeline. a few months later, joe biden's son hunter scored a lucrative position on the board of burisma holdings. that is a gas and energy company in ukraine. as we have stated many times, he hunter biden had zero experience gas, energy, or oil. none. zero. no experience with the country of ukraine. what qualified him for such a lucrative deal?? but this giant ukranian gas company reportedly shelled out way more than
10:27 pm
$3 million to his private equity firm.. in 2015, joe biden was advised by the "new york times" that his sonti was under investigation by the ukraine authorities. in december 2015, joe biden made his first request by the president of ukraine to fire the prosecutor leading the corruption investigation into his son's company, burisma holdings. he's trying to interfere there. in march 2016, according to john sullivan investigative reporter vice president biden knew this prosecutor was investigating his son, was about to conduct an interview with hunter biden. he actually talked to the prosecutor who was fired.. that's when biden leveraged a billion of your tax dollars to force the ukrainian president fire him in six hours or you don't get the money. that's right. the prosecutor that was about to investigate his son and call his son in for an interview.
10:28 pm
we know this because he bragged about it on camera. one conducting u.s. foreign policy.it is law enforcement yod the even appearance of this when one conducting u.s. foreign policy. as you can see, where there's smoke, there's plenty of fire. anyone in the media mob who calls this a conspiracy theory well, they are the ones who have been peddling it for the last three years. the timeline should cause concern for joe biden and his family. you see, his son hunterdl c also scored another extremely lucrative deal.follow this timea during his father's time as vice president. 2013, hunter biden joined his father aboard beautiful air force two. scored a $1 billion deal with subsidiary of the bank of china. chinese government. later, that increased to $1.5 billion.
10:29 pm
hunter biden again, zero expertise as it relates to china, the banking industry, private equity.the firm was nots prowess. yet, somehow hunter biden scored this business opportunity. goldman sachs, i could think of a lot of other companies that were probably more deserving. theis question is, how and why.and nl be held accountable, as will his son. they've done president trump favor and this country a favor. will he be held accountable for his son? here with more reaction, senate judiciary chairman lindsey graham. i don't know. i think that if i flew to china and i had no experience in private equity and i got a deal i would be pretty happy, but it doesn't look good, does it. >> lindsey: well, you know we've looked at the trump family.the trump connections toa
10:30 pm
every way you can. it's about time somebody look at the connections of the ukraine. here's my question. when the vice president told the ukraine we will take the money awayioid from you unless you fie the prosecutor, did he have a conflict of interest because they were looking at his son? tomorrow, we will read the transcript, is there any evidencetr at all that president trump threatened to take aidawae biden. >> i hear the answer is no. what do you hear? >> i don't know, but i will tell you this. if the answer is, yes, i will be on your show very disappointed with our president. if the answer is no, this is russia times to times ten. >> sean: do you see even just the rush to judgment? we don't know what's here. we do know the inspector general had that so-called "whistle-blower" political agenda. they don't know any of the facts. they don't know any of the details.en now, if donald trump is going to
10:31 pm
release his transcripts withukrn president, i'd like to release joe biden's conversations with leaders when he was vice president and maybe barack obama's, as well. is that fair? >> lindsey: yeah, i think it's very v fair.if the whistlebliert of the conversation who told him or her about it? >> in the deep state that will give you something six ways from sunday. >> lindsey: let me tell you. somebody told this person about a phone callthey they were not . did they have a political agenda? i will make an offerer ontelevi. if you want to testify under oath to the judiciary committee you are welcome to do so. because i want to find the truth. here's another question. was there a reason to withhold aid to this new ukrainian administrationuntil we knew who?
10:32 pm
and was it okay for president trump to withhold money to try to get other countries to give more? these are the questions that somebody needs to ask and answer. >> sean: senator, is this good politically speaking? how do you think this plays out for the democrats? >> lindsey: well, it tells me that they think they are going to lose at the ballot box. the only reason they are trying to impeach the president is because they don't believe they can beat him at the ballot box it they are trying to destroy him. it comes onto this. if there is no evidence that president trump tried to coerce the ukrainian into investigating biden and withholding aidaid toy investigated biden, then there's nothing here. that will be the only thing that would bother me. it would be okay for the president to tell the ukrainians, hey, if he was fired for a corrupt purpose, maybe you should look at it. >> sean: how do you get to a point were democrats, crazy new
10:33 pm
green deal, medicare for all, $96 trillion, some estimates, $94 trillion for the new green deal. they want to stack the u.s. supreme court. they want to get rid of the electoral college. it seems that this party has lost any sense of constitutiona. my reading of the constitution is the enumerated powers of commander and chief lie with the president. how does the president effectively be the commander in chief if his phone calls are being spied on and leaks are coming out for people that have political agendas. if this is secondhand information, where did it come from and how is it that they got so much wrong about it already? >> lindsey: i think what we want to know is if the whistle-blower is telling us something that they know to be true firsthand, or are they repeating gossip given to them by somebody else. but here's what trump has done that so important. you can read it for yourself
10:34 pm
tomorrow. the one thing about this president that i admire is that he is releasing a phone callto n make your own judgment. if there is no evidence that donald trump tried to withholdmy investigated beaden, there is nothing here. but there is a lot here when it comes to baden. -- to biden. did he have a conflict of interest when he threatened to withhold aid to the ukraine? that needs to be looked at. was there a reason to withholdas election apart from biden. a lot of people were worried about this new administration.s because we don't know how close they are to russia. >> sean: let me ask you this. if we are at a point here where this is what we are going to do is we are now going to spy on a. >> really. >> i don't know where this all ends up, but is america less safe because of this? >> lindsey: america is far less safe when a whistle-blower
10:35 pm
files a complaint when they were not a part of the phone call.amf there is twos dids of justice in have country. if the democratic vice president threatened to withhold aid to a foreign country unless a prosecutor is looking at his son and nothing happens and they are willing to impeach president trump on a phone call they know nothing about,that's dangerous. >> sean: last question. could you imagine any scenario under which a vice president of the united states withholds $1 billion. i'm not going to have it to you unless you fire a ukrainian prosecutor?that's investigatingn son, that's the big story to me, senator. >> lindsey: real quickly. what if mike pence calls somebody tomorrow and threatens that government unlesst you fie the prosecutorthat was looking s son. do you think that might make it in the news?
10:36 pm
>> sean: well said, senator. more reaction to all this breaking news. found the so-called "whistle-blower" had political bias against president trump. author to the soon to sequel released sequel to his number one best seller. it's called "witch hunt."fox neg jarrett,le fox news contributor former independent counsel, fox news contributor ken starr. let's talk about the law. >> nancy pelosi misstated the law today when she said the director of national intelligence shall and must hand overthe information. that's completely wrong. the whistle-blower is not a whistle-blower. you can't blow the whistle on the president because he's not a member of the intelligence committee. that's what the law says. pelosi, obviously didn't read the law or she can't comprehend the law even though she said she was an authority on it. second of all, the president is duty-bound onto the clause of the constitution. he knows of a particularly
10:37 pm
corrupt act trying to extort a foreign country.that is trying u know his son. the president is duty-bound to ask that foreign country ouvestigate, produce the evidence, give it to us. if he doesn't do it, it is aders constitutional -- >> sean: so what you're saying sis that the president had a legal responsibility in lieu of the fact that ukraine tried to influence our elections. before ignoring what joe biden admits on camera of doing. >> sean: that's a great point. from your legal perspective how do you react to gregg's analysis? >> i think greg is making a terrific point.it has not been .
10:38 pm
this has not a been a great day for the constitution. if there is going to be a house impeachment inquiry, it needs to be authorized by the house of representatives. this has been discussed in terms of, well, come on, let's take a vote.f well, my constitutional point is there was no vote. we simply had a press conference. but i agree with gregg. the president's take care duties are so important, especially, sean, in the arena of foreign relations.the conduct of the uns does not involve going to congress and getting laws passed and whether to veto them, they involve judgment. they involve personal relationships at his ability to speak freely. i completely agree with the concerns that have been expressed. you express them. chairman graham express them. the president needs theconfidenn leaders that #*b they can have these veryve candid conversations without there being leaks and disclosures. so it's been a very bad day for the constitution.in the you knoe
10:39 pm
double standard is so flagrant. aghere you have a dirty russian dossier that was used to bludgeon another candidate.slides lies and it was paid for by the other candidate. that would have been indicted if it was anybody else and they are going to lecture? they are going to lecture anybody else about the sanctimonious superiority of their values? i'm not buying it. but this isses now the sick political twisted environment we live in. >> most certainly. allegations of collusion, no evidence, and then ultimately rooted in bias.i saw the russia, i don't think i'm going to like the ukrainian knockoff and neither will the american people. what nancy pelosi did today ishe not only unprecedented, and i don't say this lightly, it was unpatriotic, because it
10:40 pm
embarrassed the house of representatives. there's just something deeply un-american about judging the verdict that the president violated his oath of office before nancy pelosi has even seen the evidence that we are going to get tomorrow. i believe what you saw from this speaker today was more about her holding onto power and holding onto the speaker gavel without-. corey lewandowski prevailed this last week. he said that this is evidence that too many democrats in congress hate donald trump more than they love america. that is a sad admission. >> sean: let's pick up on greg jarrett's point that the president hasg' a responsibility to literally go after any corruption that could have happen. we've seen biden on tape. we know that his son had no experience in oil or energy or gas or even private equity with the china deal. for him to not ask the question would be a big part of it.but ne
10:41 pm
inspector general reporting tonight that, yup, this whistle-blower that wasn't a whistle-blower that had secondhand information, yeah that person interestingly had a political agenda. shocking. >> sara: not even shocking at all to me, sean, becausend all u have to do is go back to the very beginning. remember all of the phone conversations that were being leaked between the president of the united states, the president of mexico, at the beginning of his presidency. and now we see this happening. we heard about the insurance policy. we also know people within the white house. very few within the nationalle security council have access to those private conversations with the president and other world leaders. >> sean: so who would have access and why is a president being monitored and his phone calls with foreign leaders? how will any president in the future be able to conduct serious private conversations?n. >> sara: there are very few people in the white house that would have access to those conversations.the president ande
10:42 pm
within the national securityke council need to do a shake down and theyth need to find out who inse the white house is actually spying on him. now, we know that this whistle-blower didn't even have direct access to this conversation. so we know that it was passed from a secondary source, at least we believe that, in order for him to report, in order for it to be leaked. this is what they do over and over again. r this is extraordinarilydangerou, because theyly are directly targeting the president of the united states and it's constant. and tomorrow, i truly believe there will be eggs on the face of nancy pelosi and everybody else who is going after theprest proceedings. >> and again. this is going to be a rewind. greg, you want to jump in. >> this will blow up in the faces of democrats like a cigar.
10:43 pm
>> sean: we want to know because you ran on an anticorruption platform. >> gregg: yeah, absolutely and in the end, i think this is going to be terribly bad for joe biden. he's already beginning to sink in some of the polls.the democrn impreachment happy before the president was elected, they started talking about impeachment before he won't election. and they drew up the papers before he unpaxed list boxesmu cash unpacked his boxes. then, it was the russian hoax. and then, it was the firing of comey. the president so much as coughs and he's a crook. >> sean: all right. thank you all. the inspector general of the intelligence committee found the so-called igyo "whistle-blower"a quote, political bias against president trump. set to release the transcript oo the president of ukraine.

fox news chief white house correspondent, john roberts.he v day. he is live with the very latest from the white house tonight. john. >> john: good evening to you. a. lot still going on.a senior l a couple hours ago confirmednt to fox news that the white house released the whistle-blower complaint as soon as it possibly can, as soon as it's legally possible to do it. it is not legally possible to do, but the white house think that things might have changed. the whistle-blower has informed the director of national intelligence that he or she wants to before congress. it has nothing to hide and there is no wrongdoing.the white houst will release everything on thist because it has nothing hide than is no wrongdoing. meanwhile, the democrats opening that formal impeachment inquiry before even seeing the whistle-blower complaint or the
10:45 pm
transcript of the call between president trump and the ukrainian president, zelensky.tt transcript comes out, the democratic case is going to fall totally apart. here's what he said earlier today when he was meeting with the president of iraq. >> president trump: so the country is doing the best it's ever done and i've just hearde that they would like to impeacht they've ever done, and they're going to lose the election and they figure this is the thing to do never happened where we're in the election. sif she does that, they all say that is a positive for me from the election. you can also say who needs it, it is bad for the country. >> john: tomorrow is going to be a big day, as well. here's the timeline of what's going to happen tomorrow. a transcript of the telephone call will be released sometime before 2:00 p.m. i'm told. and then, the president has a bilateral meeting with ukrainian president, zelensky. and then, a press conference following that. now, ukraine agreed to the
10:46 pm
transcript release. the president tweeted "he received permission to release the transcript.of the telephoneh their president. they don't know either what the big deal is, a total witch hunt scammed by the democrats. i'm told that there are other steps the president took tolimit presidential, nature of the candidate. they they can't make other demands down the road of impeachment. stay tuned, sean. tomorrow is going to be a big day in american politics. >> sean: i'm calling on joe biden to release all of his transcripts with the leaders of ukraine that are available..to let's get those out, asea well.. great job today. thank you. more reaction. former bush administration white house press secretary fox news contributor sarah sanders. carl, we will start with you. you didn't like the idea ofrele.
10:47 pm
i see it as a dangerous precedent,as you do. but my sources tell me no smoking begun, no quid pro quo. you are going topr get to the bottom of corruptionlike you ra. >> yeah. look, i wasn't a big fan of it because i think it is a bad precedent.on the other hand, itw of strength. the president decide, let's bob transparent. i think he did the right thing by going to his counter part in the ukraine. i want to release, this i don't want to give you any independent jess, what do you think? i -- any indigestion. what do you think? it's all going to come out. but let us not forget that this thing is, as was said earlier the house is proceeding in a way that it hasn't done before. this is not a vote to formally begin an investigation of the president. it'sen a decision by one member the speaker of the house who is
10:48 pm
being pressured by the inside. she can't put together yet 218 votes among the democrats to officially begin an impeachment proceeding. she is keeping her members from having to cast what is viewed ay vote to begin the impeachment proceeding. i think that is very dangerous.hi >> sean: the only thing that happened is that we went from an impeachment probe to a formal impeachment inquiry. they changed the title. now, they could have a roll call. they could get everybody on the record. and john roberts earlier todayet 160 democrats. this is dead on arifle. >> sarah: absolutely. i think the democrats are being incredibly stupid right now.i k, but they are not paying attention to the fact that impeachment is going to fail. not only is it going to fail, it is going to rally and unite republicans and help get the president reelected. my guess is that's not what democrats want, because
10:49 pm
nancy pelosi has been clear that that is their whole purposeabous making sure that they stop this president from being reelected. she stated today that it is a threat to democracy. the only threat to democracy i see in this entire process is democrats and nancy pelosi who refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election. we've seen it over and over and over again for the last two and a half years.they refuse to lesn that they lost in 2061. they fight it every step of the way. they've got to make a decision. do they love the country more than they hate this president? today they've made it clear that they've made their decision and it can it be a more devastating and wrong decision for the country. >> sean: carl, one thing they haven't factored. they now have been on this kick of theirs for three years. it blew up in their face. everything they were promising they didn't deliver. they had the media mob on their
10:50 pm
side the whole time.at some poin people see this for what this is, that they are willing to divide and drag this country with no knowledge down this political sewer because they so wantpowert won the election. what is the political ramificationsof that, once it s. >> karl: you're absolutely right. the american people are not in favor of impeachment.item ron im the moment of the bob mueller report that says no evidence, no collusion that was sufficient enough on obstruction. the opposition of impeachment group. who thinks that this is going to cause that to d dramatically tun around and support impeachment? i don't think so. the democrats have put themselves in a place, think about this. this is going to hurt joe biden badly. we are going to be talking about ukraine and the idea of hunter
10:51 pm
biden being hired by a moscow leaning oligarch.demonstrating e united states. remember, it's not only hunter biden, a longtime family friend of john kerry of massachusetts also gets put on the board.of b. so we are going to have people saying, why didn't he think he's over there in the ukrainetalkinn stepping up anticorruption efforts when hisso son son the board of one of the most corrupt institutions in the country? it's going to hurtn nancy pelos. she is now going to put those 3g districts in either having to vote for impeachment in which case they're going to irritate their republicans constituents.orb arn hurts districts who are up for grabs.
10:52 pm
it hurts people like adam schiff and elizabeth warren. i was taken back at the rhetoric this past week. president trump has tried to get a foreign country involved in the american election. really? don't you remember what hillary clinton was trying to do? don't you think we're going to suddenly start seeing, it is so bad, if you think it is so bad for what the president did, you don't want a foreign country involved in our election, why didn't you criticize hillary clinton?that's exactly d to do. >> sean: that's selective moral outrage.feigned moral out. >> karl: and look, this is going to hurt them with swing voters for exactly that reason. american voters are going to look at this.this critical grout are up for grabs in this election are going to say, really? that's the best you can do? especially when it wipes out any other message the democrats have. it is only going to get worse. all they're going to sound like is impeachment. >> sean: thank you both for being with us. karl rove, sarah sanders. also tonight, we are getting reports that the so-called "whistle-blower" at the center ofpo this storm wants tospeak te

quote authorizing theplotth come redacted transcript of the conversation with the president of ukraine. no pressure and unlike joe joe biden and his son, no quid pro quo.former white housel tells fox news tonight the transcripts of presidential calls are handled by the situation room, between four and five intelligence officialstypes told, their individual transcripts are then cross-referenced and cross checked.they are handled on a vy limited basis. >> sean: all right, catherine in washington. fox news correspondent at large geraldo rivera. this is a terrific new book. if you look in the upper right-hand corner, that blurb is mine.it's called the new red wa, how conservatives to beat leftist aggression.
10:55 pm
american senator for law and justice, our friend jordan. thed it cover to cover. geraldo, let me ask you aboutth. joe biden was told a number of times. he was told that this prosecutor is investigating his son. why would a vice president withhold a billion dollarsyou fe money. >> i think the back story that no one is talking about, and maybe it comes from my daytime talk show background. he has been a deeply troubled young man.he terrible drug and l problems. he was in and out of rehabs all over. he was thrown out of the united states navy for testing positive for cocaine. so it's not only that he got jobs he wasn't qualified for, he got an amazing soft landing there. $50,000 per month.ti hplus the t even talked about.
10:56 pm
i think that in examining what happened here, i think that the vice president will be diminished. i think it's sad, because we all have children and we are only as happy as our unhappiest child. this young man has put thevice . >> sean: the vice president also lied to peter doocy.that is son's dealings with ukraine, he didn't stop it and then was warned that he's being investigated. he leveraged american tax dollars. that's abuse of power. you deal with a lot of this and the media mob and their agenda. you see the hysteria.the breath. it's basically three nonstop years of this. you talk a lot about it in your brand-new book out today. >> that's right.in the next red, we talked about it as a member of the president's legal team we've dealt with the russia situation. the mueller team.the failure afe
10:57 pm
deep state to take down this president. here we go again, sean. right at the beginning of your broadcast, it was deja vu all over again. so, the v whistle-blower is a partisan hack bureaucrat, and the democrats, i guess didn't know that when they started their phony impeachment inquiry today, because they don't have enough votes to actually open up an impeachment investigation, that requires a majority of votes. they don't have those.it's agai, another, we don't have a plan. it's another partisan deep state hack trying to take down the president. >> sean: they have no idea what's in this. there is no quid pro quo. there is no smoking gun. the president is saying, yeah we want to root out corruption like you do. >> they aree looking, sean, for. whatever means necessary. if it wounds the president, great. if it takes down the president, that's the best. that's why we wrote "the next red wave." i think this is going to be nonstop.p.leaks, whistle brothe,
10:58 pm
partisan hack whistleblowers. >> sean: is bad for the country. >> it is horrible for the country. >> they're injecting cancer into this system as a level we've never seen. charlie. >> it is truly, truly astonishing. i think quite frankly what we are seeing here is that president trump kind of called their bluff. he heard all the accusations. they don't even wait to find out what evidencend there is, what e actual accusations are. but he just says, okay fine. he throws it all out there. thee two biggest takeaways. one is that trump is still being spied upon, even as president. that is shocking.if this whistln front of congress and testifies, it will be fascinating to see what exposure that opens up to other members of the intelligence committee that did have access to these calls and shared this clearly classified information with someone who was not read in on the conversation.
10:59 pm
the final thing i keep wondering is, how long are democrats going to circle the wagons to protect joe biden who is showing himself to be a terrible candidate? >> sean: why would a vice president -- >> shocked by the transparency. bleaching and smashing devices like hillary clinton's campaign. this is a transparent president who says, fine. you want to see it. there you go. >> the revelation of the exposing of joe biden but we are the wormy punk that eavesdropped on the president of the united states with his secret conversation with the head of another country. i mean, how can you trust anything around you if you are donald trump? they are stabbing him in the back. they have tried to sabotage his presidency since minute one, since the second he was elected. i think it is really pathetic,
11:00 pm
and this will rebound on them in a very profound way. >> sean: i agree with that completely. charlie, good to see you, geraldo, good to see you. that is all the time we haven: left. we will neverim be a rage psychotic media mob. let not your heart be troubled laura ingraham, take it away. >> laura: hannity, i am ready to jump on the geraldo rivera bandwagon. yes, yes! that was great, little great ending. but you predicted this.i pry di. once they failed on the russian collusion, they have to come back for another bite of the apple,y hannity.they had to. >> sean: joe biden, good luckben was investigated, you leverages and abused u.s. tax dollars to basically blackmail them to fire prosecutor because you knew that prosecutor was all over your son's dealings with burisma
