look at the information, it is a joke. impeachment for that? >> reporter: all eyes on the nation's top intelligence official, joseph maguire testifying in open session before the house intelligence committee where adam schiff, the chairman called the complaint deeply troubling seeking answers why it was withheld from congress for weeks. >> i think it is a travesty that this complaint was withheld as long as it was because it was an urgent matter, it is an urgent matter and there was no basis to keep this from the committee. >> reporter: soon we will hear what maguire has to say but there are questions about what we will hear from him. how far can they go in open session? what was the role of the dn i in the complaint and did they play a role to assess the credibility of the whistleblower? one lawmaker chris stewart, republican who has seen the complaint had this to say. >> there are no surprises.

if you think this is dramatic, read the transcript from this phone call and tell me if you think that is dramatic. it makes the american people go what is this about? >> reporter: maguire is denying the washington post report he threatened to resign if he could not speak freely to lawmakers issuing a statement, quote, at no time have i considered resigning my position since assuming this role on august 16, 2019, i've never quit anything in my life and i'm not going to start now. i'm committed to leading the intelligence committee to address complex threats facing our nation. after the house hearing which is in open session maguire will testify before the senate intelligence committee. that is closed to the public. rob: a lot thrown in his lap on the first month on the job. we will watch. jillian: conservative radio host rush limbaugh said impeachment isn't is always been a ploy to take down the president. rob: this time rush limbaugh thinks democrats are hoping to take joe biden down with him. >> this is all about democrats

having something with their media brethren, never stop charging trump. politically does not a nothing burger because it is the ongoing effort of democrats to overturn the election results of 2016. what nancy pelosi has done here regarding impeachment is not move it farther along. she did not do anything but convene an inquiry. there has been no floor vote. there will not be a floor vote. everything you are seeing is deception. this effort going on here is actually a twofor. they are designed to take out trump and biden and clear the way for anyone else, probably elizabeth warren. >> donald trump and his ukrainian counterpart address the world in the aftermath of the release of the famous phone call.

rob: both men insist there was no pressure to investigate the biden family. todd pyro with a bilateral news conference. >> the key to this is whether the president's rules amount to trying to undo pressure of the ukrainian president. president zelinski said they did not. >> i think nobody pushed me. >> there was no pressure. >> that key take away coming during the meeting between the ukrainian leader and donald trump who says the call was all about a joint effort to root out corruption. >> the president wants to stop corruption. he was elected number one on the basis of stopping corruption which unfortunately has plagued ukraine.

>> reporter: the text of the call reads donald trump, there's a lot of talk about biden's son, biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. zelinski says he or she will look into the situation, to the company you mentioned in this issue, the issue of the investigation of the case is the issue to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and look on the investigation of the case. donald trump then says i will have mister giuliani give you a and i will have attorney general william barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. i'm sure you will figure it out. as you might expect joe biden sees the conversation differently than donald trump. he said as much on jimmy kimmel. >> such a blatant abuse of power, i don't think it can stand. >> reporter: biden adding allegations against him are not true and expected the president go after his family. the justice department denied

attorney general william barr had any interaction with ukraine about the bidens or any subject for that matter that did not stop many democrats including house judiciary chair jerry nadler from demanding barbecues himself, quote, until we get to the bottom of this mess. jillian: thank you. rob: the white house, visas for iranian officials and their families, the president saying the government of iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. they detain united states citizens, the iranian regime contributes to humanitarian crises, threatens its neighbors, friends international shipping and conducts destructive cyber attacks. iran's president rouhani bashed the united states at the un accusing the us of economic terrorism. >> never negotiate with an enemy that seeks to make iran surrender with a weapon of poverty, pressure, and sanctions.

>> karen, a lot of rain and wind to puerto rico and karen is being a little weird. over the next couple days we will watch the storm. the good news is we think it will weaken considerably but we still have to watch it because we think it is going to move westward but you can see this is an area of low pressure over the next 24 to 48 hours. we will watch it and keep you up-to-date. i think it will not be a big deal. past 48 hours we have a potential for severe storms being reported for parts of the southern plains but watch what happens here. that is a lot of snow across the northern rockies towards the northern plains, two feet or more. there is the forecast. that is the big headline. winter is coming in some areas. in new york we will enjoy 83 ° with mostly sunny skies. looks good. rob: i could go to the mountains

between the president and president the linsky of ukraine which sparked this in the first place. what exactly are the take aways from what we know at this point? former federal prosecutor robert ray, you -- who knows what people were meeting. seems everybody was reading two different things depending what party you were in. what did you make of this five page phone call we already yesterday? >> if we are talking about impeachment inquiry the phone call does not make out a high crime or misdemeanor and despite what you heard from the democratic party it doesn't lead to a conclusion, no treason, no bribery, the federal bribery statute doesn't apply to foreign government officials, no extortion because there was no quid pro quo and ultimately the whistleblower complaint made its way to the justice department

and it didn't constitute an illegal campaign contribution not the least of which because they found asking a foreign government official to consider an investigation does not constitute anything of value. rob: that what democrats were harping on, asking for help could be a crime. >> you are stuck with one part of the democratic party looks at the 5-page call summary or transcript as obviously a quid pro quo and you could only come to that conclusion if your view of the world and the law is if there is discussion of an investigation and some discussion of foreign aid to a foreign country that you necessarily have an exchange of one for the other. if that didn't work, it must constitute illegal foreign campaign contribution. the justice department apparently initially at the public integrity section which is career people and ultimately

approved by the chief of the criminal division without the involvement of the attorney general of the united states came to the conclusion it doesn't constitute a crime at all because it isn't a foreign campaign contribution. jillian: let's show folks the other ones including the president acting for an investigation and no explicit quid pro quo. you can look at the rest of them. my question is how do democrats at this point see this is something that will benefit them? you have the transcript in front of you. we are looking at the same document but it seems we are not. >> we will be exhausted by this story by the end of the day because they spent all of last night talking about the fact that it is not just the phone call but the whistleblower complaint. that leads to the whistleblower complaint. in camera session last night, some lawmakers took the time to read the whistleblower complaint and it does nothing but provide

some corroborating details. rob: we should all be -- >> if there's nothing else in the whistleblower complaint besides the phone call there's nothing else to talk about. rob: we are going to get the complaint today and here is the linsky at the bilateral meeting. >> we had i think good phone call, normal, we spoke about many things and so i think nobody pushed it. rob: even after that and after reading the 5-page transcript from the white house, a lot of democrats and a lot of people in the media say this is an explosive thing that will lead to the impeachment of the president. what is their line of reasoning? >> your chief witness is going to be the president of ukraine who said no pressure was applied. there goes the notion that there

was an illegal quid pro quo. i don't know where else was the only thing they are left to argue is not safe what happens because -- rob: pandering to the president. >> ukraine is dependent on us foreign aid. i have lived this long enough to know it doesn't matter what the facts are, there is a significant and growing segment of the progressive wing of the democratic party that is out to impeach the president for political advantage, which is not in the country's best interest. if we have learned anything, the notion that you're going to be conducting an impeachment proceeding in the middle of an election year is an exceedingly bad idea. why? you don't like the president, fine, don't vote for him but impeaching him could damage the country at a critical time. let's try to keep our eye on the

ball, we have major things happening in the world, damaging the president is not in the country's best interest. jillian: thank you for joining us, appreciate it. rob: two major health concerns resulting in deaths as the vapeing crisis takes another life, a person falls to a mosquito borne virus. jillian: national pancake day and obviously we are celebrating with ihop. ♪ some hot stuff ♪ baby tonight ♪ day 23. i'm about to capture proof of the ivory billed woodpecker. what??? no, no no no no. battery power runs out. lifetime retirement income from tiaa doesn't. guaranteed monthly income for life. nooooo!

impeachment pushed? john thomas, republican pollster and strategist to talk about that this morning. the president is going to struggle through this but joe biden has a lot of eyes on him and his son is making 50 grand a month doing the job what people think he has no business doing while joe biden works on ukraine. >> you are totally right. joe biden wasn't doing great before that. this controversy he was already on the decline and this is the last thing joe biden needs for a couple reasons. joe biden's fundamental brand promise to democrat to the primaries electability, the safe choice. there is no scandals in his closet. the problem is hunter biden has not yet testified. senate republicans can pull testimony, force hunter to testify regardless whether they find hunter and his father guilty of anything it is the appearance of impropriety, the

appearance of scandal that will further pull biden down and once you strip biden of the fact that he is the safe choice, what exactly does he present to a democratic electorate looking for not an old white man, someone more progressive with ideas, who doesn't make gaffes all the time. rob: let's look at the poll from quinnipiac, 27%, biden at 25 back to august and look how different those numbers were, 32 in august, 25, 19 for warren in august. that is a bid flip. i listened to ted. talking about the ukraine thing and he said ukraine investigated it and didn't find anything so everything is fine. >> amazing how they can write off their own so easily. >> it is not going to be that

easy but we know for the democrats they want to impeach this president before any of this -- 70 democrats in support of impeachment before the mueller report came out. they want to impeach this president but the polling, you watch trend lines. biden is on the decline not just in national polls but in the key state-by-state polls trailing second place. this is terrible news if you are joe biden. rob: rush limbaugh thinks the democrat party wants to take trump out and also take biden out with his story which i thought was a really crazy idea. what do you make of that? >> the progressive wing of the democratic party would agree with that sentiment. they don't think biden represents the modern democratic party. i don't know that it is orchestrated that way but now that it is leading the progressives will pylon and beat biden, biden can't make the argument any long.

>> will be certain biden more than donald trump? people hate this kind of story. this is why donald trump was elected, you get sick and tired of seeing a politician, who knows nothing, $6000 a year. >> the real casualties joe biden's candidacy. donald trump's side will energize his base, nothing turns out your base more than when you feel your choice for office has been unfairly treated. extended continuation of this witchhunt. this has to do with when the democrats overplay their hand on brett kavanaugh, turning out republicans, it is going to strengthen the president's chances, the only casualties joe biden. >> we appreciate it. jillian: 9 minutes until the top of the hour.

but, democrats have never been more energized than now towards impeachment against the president. elizabeth warren tweeting this: the president admitted it, the transcript confirms it, donald trump continues to commit crimes from the oval office and justice department refuses to hold him accountable, now it's on congress to act. no one is above the law. not even the president. but, fellow presidential candidate tulsi gabbard has a different take. listen to this. >> look, i'm not a lawyer. i think most people reading through that transcript are not going to find that extremely compelling cause to throw out a president that won an election in 2016. carley: very interesting stuff. progressive congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, of course, disagrees saying i would like you to do us a favor and, quote: folks, i am surprised the white house even released this transcript. it's worse than we thought. the president sought to use

the power of the united states government to investigate a political opponent, we have no choice but to impeach. like you said all eyes now on joseph maguire in classified whistleblower complaint. jillian: get back to the point are we treating the same thing? rob: yes. like there is two different articles out there. talking about president trump vs. bill clinton. clinton.jill. carley: you may have seen this online footage of nancy pelosi denkding then president bill clinton in 1998 against impeachment. sounds an awful lot like what republicans are saying today. >> today the republican majority is not judging the president with fairness but impeaching him with a vengeance. and until the republicans free themselves of this hatred, our country will suffer. carley: interesting to see her in 1998 as well that video like i said going viral. tara says they have been

my twitter feed reacted to the transcript and it's literally just a picture of the dress. rob: that nobody agreed what color it was. it's the same thing with this. all right. we are going to go to "fox & friends" now. ♪ ainsley: unclassified that information. i put it on social media. only five pages. want to read it only take 10 minutes. steve: you know what? when you look at it, whatever you thought of the president, it kind of what you thought about the release. it's like if you like the president you didn't see anything there if you don't like the president, you know what? you saw a lot there. you look at the "new york times." you look at the newspapers this morning. take a
