>> fox news obtaining a copy of rudy giuliani us knows which outlines testimony from the fired ukrainian prosecutor who was inventing hunter biden's company. jillian: the prosecutor says he

was urged to drop the investigation by the obama era ambassador but democrats still coming to joe biden's. good to see you again. let's get into this part of this excerpt from rudy giuliani's notes, that he intended to continue the investigation but the us ambassador told him the investigation had to be handled with white gloves which implied do nothing. what do you make of that? >> the hypocrisy is palpable. democrats are so interested in a phone call from the united states president to the president of ukraine which shows nothing but they are trying to say this is, quote, debunked when there is so much evidence that joe biden was involved in corruption as the vice president. the fact that democrats are looking the other way and trying to prop up joe biden and doing

nothing wrong and not equally calling for an investigation. even if they were saying let's investigate everything that would at least give them some margin of credibility but the fact they are trying to sweep this under the rug shows they are not interested in truth or fact, they are interested in hating the president. rob: a lot of people say victor show can was corrupt and he has a reason, he could be lying to save face on the reason he was fired because i was trying to do the right thing, not because i was doing these other things. >> reporter: is that possible? yes. the keywords are could be. that's the point of an investigation. if we are talking about corruption this rises to the level of probable cause for an inquiry especially when joe biden is running for united states president. even if he wasn't this is still an american who at the time was vice president of the united states and it is worth looking

into so everyone saying this is donald trump trying to get opposition research, remember the context, when rudy giuliani was looking into this, donald trump's private attorney and private defense counsel is able to mount adequate and vigorous defense for his client and if that were true, an opposition candidate couldn't be looked into and was fully immune during a presidential election than anyone who knew that they had gripped intentions or crime in their past that might be looked into just have to sign up and run for president and suddenly they are immune. jillian: a statement from the inspector general briefing, documents provided by the inspector general included a package of disinformation, debunked conspiracy theories and baseless allegations and an envelope marked, quote, white house. >> interesting the inspector general is willing to make those

statements when this is not gone through a fool and sufficient inquiry. the ability for democrats to push back and say this is debunked just shows their partisan hatred of donald trump and their intention to sweep this under the rug and put the focus on the president who when we have the best evidence of the transcript of the phone call has done nothing remotely illegal and certainly not to the level of constitutional impeachment. rob: it looks like there should be a subpoena. that will be looked at. you have a new op-ed, you call it democrats impeachment coup. tell us about this. >> this is about how we should be framing this. not impeachment from a constitutional basis. we should be calling it what it is which is a cool. democrats trying to undermine a

free and fair elections simply because they hate donald trump. they've been trying since 2015 to undermine him, they are terrified they can't win the 2020 election so they are taking something with no constitutional basis and trying to fool you the american people into not understanding the words of the constitution. impeachment cannot be for partisan political hatred of the united states president. it has to be constitutional basis set forth in article 2 section 4. my op-ed explains that. jillian: kim kardashian, helped this woman get out of prison and she's trying again. rob: the high profile case that just got some star power. ♪ the good news? our protection lasts all day.

twitter and in front of cameras blasting the house intel committee chair and continuing his your line of attack. >> he went into a microphone it in front of the american people and in congress gave a whole presentation of words the president of the united states never says. it has to be a act. he should resign and some people even say it was treason but it was a very sad thing. >> reporter: in response a shift spokesperson largely confirm the times report, explaining like other whistleblowers have done before under republican and democratic controlled committees the whistleblower contacted the committee for guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing in the jurisdiction of the intelligence community. the spokesperson clarifying schiff himself has not met or spoken with the whistleblower or their counsel and that was over the possibility of likelihood

rob: let's get to the story at hand, taking dna samples from a lot of people. tell us the benefits of that, why that is a good idea. >> if it is important to identify everyone we encounter at the border that is something that is a national security issue. we have a lot of criminal aliens that have been deported and they try to come back. we need to identify them, once they come back, they don't come back. most important is not just the mexican but central american special-interest aliens from special-interest countries. that is important because the last thing we need is a terrorist gaining access to the united states through mexico. jillian: let's look at these numbers from august, border apprehensions compared to the pecan you see a distinct difference, 62% drop and some argue you see a decline over the

summer months but a significant drop in those numbers. let's listen from the briefing yesterday on how dhs plans to expand dna sampling. the dna pilot is just establishing paternal connection. it is not necessarily just determining a paternal connection. some critics argue it will take a lot of time and money and work those agents. will it take away from their other work? >> they are overwhelmed as it is at the border. let's not forget everything that happened in the last few months that we talked about continues to happen at the border and dna tests are an additional tool especially for family units coming in. it will debunk a lot of claims where adult males are bringing in children who are next of kin

coming to the border. it is a big issue. we can talk about the numbers, the costs and let's not forget the money perpetuated back from illegal aliens to mexico and central america, multi-billions of dollars. it is not a good plan. jillian: thank you for joining us. it is 38 minutes after the hour. russian interference in the presidential election, don't worry, nothing real just yet. vladimir putin just cracking jokes. ♪ somebody makes me laugh ♪ rob: donald trump mocking the biden ukraine situation on twitter with help from nickel back. and the social media boy we had

they would call from my resignation and she would be leading the charge and that is a fact. i have gotten so many calls not just across the country but from my staff. and i reinforced how much i appreciate the work. i know they are professionals and we have done great work with facial recognition. we know there are flaws in the technology. we address that through rigorous systems we have in place. we have a model approach on how we use this technology effectively. rob: you start to see the measurements taking place. doesn't matter what color anybody is if you have this much distance between your nose, eyes, and all these other things you will pop up on this thing. do you think these are legitimate complaints or is it pandering to a minority vote?

>> some complaints when they talk about misidentification, if we didn't have trained analysts behind the technology i estimate it would probably, 98% of the time, we know that and explained that but what works is the work that goes on after the analyst goes in and methodically goes through a number of mug shots. we put her in the seat to understand how it works and somewhat resistance, not really interested but it was important for me to invite her after she made her initial comment so she could learn about how we use it and have greater appreciation for it. what you missed when you talk about facial recognition is what about the victims. the only people who should be afraid official recognition are
