between ukraine and the biden family. ainsley: yeah. that's right. fox news obtaining documents showing the prosecutor at the center of the ukraine scandal claims that he was told to back off an investigation into a firm that was linked to hunter biden. brian: i thought the biggest story was a people about a photograph. steve: look at this photograph. brian: griff jenkins joins us live from washington with griff's own reaction. we only want your reaction. we don't want anybody else's. griff: my reaction is it never gets boring in this town these days. what we're talking about is giuliani's interview with victor shulkin a key player in the biden bragged on camera getting fired. shulkin was told to stand down investigating burisma the natural gas firm linked to hunter biden. mr. shulkin continued the investigations on or around july of 2015. the u.s. ambassador jeffrey told him that the

investigation has to be handled with white gloves which according to mr. show kin that implied do nothing. he is no stranger to accusations of corruption himself. we learned the state department yesterday turned over documents to congress. shokin is willing to come to washington. >> victor shol kin told me is he willing to couple to america and point the finger at joe biden and his son and basically said what the president said today. they are corrupt as sin. >> last night in reno a joe biden defended himself. >> it was a fully transparent policy carried out in front of the whole world. we weren't pressing ukraine to get rid of a tough prosecutor. we were pursuing ukraine to replace a weak prosecutor who wouldn't do his job. >> meanwhile president trump continued his attack on his potential 2020 opponent. >> look, biden and his son

are stone cold crooked. his son walks out with millions of dollars. the kid knows nothing. you know it and so do we. >> here's the key. no word or independent occasion yet if any of the house committees investigating will call shokin across the atlantic. it will be interesting to see what he has to say. guys. steve: no kidding. kid gloves. brian: one thing is pretty certain donald trump is doing what donald trump always does in the 2020 mode anyway, getting others to comment about what he says. the fact that joe biden is taking time to load up his prompter to go okay, let's handle the ukraine thing i never want to speak about again and can someone put a signal out for hunter. now is he getting questions on the stump about this. having said that first things first. steve: that's right. "new york times" had quite a story yesterday. you know, there had been some suggestion on this program for the last week we have wondered whether or not there was coordination or cooperation between the whistleblower and the democrats. and the "new york times" had a headline yesterday and it said schiff, congressman schiff got early account of

accusations as whistleblower's concerns grew. here is what happened according to the "new york times." the whistleblower approached staff member on one of congressman schiff's staff house intel and suggested that he heard the whistleblower's story and the staff member suggested he file a complaint, get a lawyer, and meet with the inspector general. then the aide shared that story with schiff, didn't identify him, but told him the story. schiff, however, denied that he had spoken to the whistleblower. listen to this. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. we would like to. but i'm sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been advised, as the law requires, by the inspector general or the director of national intelligence just as to how he is to communicate with congress. ainsley: operative word is there we. we haven't spoken. brian: he said he didn't help with the complaint. he said the contours of which he knew about.

he said he didn't help write the complaint. but you wonder about if you can't believe the way this whole thing started how are you supposed to believe that? steve: right. when he says we didn't talk to him. it implies him or his staff or democrats. but his staff member, a staff member did talk to him, knew the story, and explained the story broadly to congressman schiff and perhaps that's why his tweets, before the whistleblower complaint came out sounded so much like the whistleblower complaint. ainsley: the whistleblower's attorney did release this statement. his name is mark zaid. i can specifically state neither member of the team whistleblower ever met or spoke with congressman schiff about this matter. brian: meanwhile the spokesperson for adam schiff went on to say whistleblower contacted the committee for guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing within the jurisdiction of the intelligence committee. this is a regular occurrence given the committee's unique oversight role and responsibilities con sis tans with the committee's

long standing procedures, committee staff appropriately advised the whistleblower to contact an inspector general and to seek legal counse. at no point did the committee review and receive the complaint in advance. that explains why adam schiff was getting impatient about this story as the inspector general evidently recommended to the director of national intelligence go forward the dni goes to the white house and says how do you want to handle this because i have got to go to the justice department and that explains why adam schiff is i had the story three weeks ago why did you delay it for me. steve: the department of justice was reviewing it we don't have to give it to congress. that's why congress, the democrat who knew about it, mr. schiff, was feeling the way he did. you know, ultimately, this is probably a gift to donald trump. because this adds to the narrative where he can say, look, they were -- they knew about it ahead of time. schiff is a staff member on his team said hire an

attorney, file the complaint, here's the president yesterday. >> well, i think it's a scandal that he knew before. i would go a step further. i think i probably helped write it. okay? that's what the word is and i think -- i give a lot of respect for the "new york times" for putting it out. let me just tell you the whole thing is a scam. the mueller deal was a scam. the russian collusion was a scam. you can ask putin. nobody has been rougher on russia than donald trump. okay? now, with that being said, it would be great to get along with russia. we will get along with russia because it's smart. steve: there is no suggestion that mr. schiff did help him write but mr. schiff did know the broad outlines of the story. brian: contours. he did also say that number one on vladimir putin yesterday he came out and said i don't mind if you release my -- all my conversations with the president. keep in mind, as nancy pelosi and those democrats

out to get donald trump were becoming a joke around the world, russia is laughing hysterically. in the ukraine they cannot believe the attention they are getting. they can't keep up with it because it's head-spins talking the ukraine needs us so much. we are their lifeline. they don't want to make a judgment and alienate anyone. you have the embarrassment of the finish leader watching these questions and the president has to take it down a notch. he has to start putting together a legal team to handle this. get back to doing what he is doing. bill clinton showed you the template how to handle. this you get people loyal to you whether it's emmet flood or somebody else and have them take this out and drag this out. what do the democrats want? they want a quick verdict before thanksgiving. hey, we did our impeachment. let's go back to 2020. you don't give them that you don't turn over conversations. you put a stop to everything. you delay it. the president can't do it all himself. ainsley: there are many that are defending him. there is a republican,

kevin mccarthy. he was on with laura ingraham last night. this is what he had to say? >> i think adam schiff needs to tell us what did he know? when did he know is it it? and how many times did he lie to us in the process you? are going to tell us this staffer never told the chairman who he was, didn't advise in the process, and schiff didn't advise the staffer on the directions? because what did they tell this whistleblower? where to go to get an attorney, much like the person who came forward against kavanaugh. the exact same pattern. we have found before. this has been political from day one and adam schiff has proven from this point here he has no credibility. he has no credibility to be a chairman, and he has no right to be the prosecutor in this case. steve: that's why a number of republicans are saying he has got to go. i think the president himself yesterday was frustrated and saw these stories about him and felt they were not true. pushing back. something he has done throughout as long as we have known him as a politician. brian: when the access hollywood tape came out he was calm, cool and

calculated and you could argue this is more devastating any of this. he is at his best usually when the pressure is on. something about this case because he feels it's so unjust. a couple of notes, kurt volcker goes up the ukraine behind closed doors. steve: he will say he was pressured out. brian: i'm not sure. steve: out of administration. brian: he left immediately right away after it came out that his text messages came out with rudy giuliani. and, yesterday, steve mitnick the state department inspector general went up to capitol hill emergency, talked to two lawmakers yesterday who were behind closed doors. he had nothing. the democrats were besides themselves. they said i cannot believe this is it. they tried to give him leading yes, sir he had no explosive information. steve: the democrats were hoping it was a bombshell. it was a dud. stuff he had already turned over to the fbi months earlier. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. jillian: begin with this fox news alert. while you were sleeping more than a dozen army pair

in we went through everything of what it is all about. it's about remembering the hero, honoring the family, and uniting the community. we had an agenda. we told them everything that we were going to be doing. we go to the community. we get sponsors. we get team registrations and it's a blue bowl flag football tournament for everyone to come together. in the morning we have a memorial and we invite local, national leaders and we also have anyone of influence that would like to speak at the event. and it's all to speak on law enforcement and law enforcement only. we don't -- we do not bring politics into this. and on september 14th, we added rhonda kennedy, who is a local attorney. and on september 16th, we got the phone call that they

had issues with some of the speakers that we were having. ainsley: because they were republican or they were conservatives? >> yes. yes. so, we had joy villa, who was going to be singing the national anthem. steve: the actress who wore the trump dress. >> correct, she is a singer/song writer. she was coming to the event to 60 national anthem only and she supports law enforcement. she supports the foundation. her father is a military police officer. so we were having her sing the national anthem, we had scott baio who is an actor. and he is a republican, but he supports law enforcement and he went to the same church as sergeant ron helus and he wanted to speak at the event and we were gracious for him wanting to do that to take his time. ainsley: what is political about that? what is political? he goes to church with the guy. they don't have to vote the same way. >> correct.

you are correct. but, we were asked in the phone call isn't scott baio part of some right wing group? ainsley: wow. >> we were kind of taken back by that and said what do you mean "right wing group"? he is a republican. but that's all. he is not coming to speak on politics. he is coming to speak about law enforcement and law enforcement only. and he -- the chief continued to say that these people do not represent the fabric of the community. that the make america great slogan is not popular within a 1200-mile radius of the community. and that they just -- they did not want any republican speakers there. that it was a big mistake and that he would tell the sheriff that he did not support this and that nothing good of this would come out of this event if we had these people speaking.

and, like i said, september 14th we put rhonda kennedy who is a local attorney, and she ran against jackiee jackie irwin whs the assembly maybe. they didn't want her to speak. they said she does not represent their community. ainsley: okay. well, here is a statement from the sheriff's department. i initially gave my approval for support of the event organized as we drew closer to the actual event, they seemed to become more focused on political agendas and less and less so on the victims and their families. i felt it was in the best interest of the department, the victims, and our community to not directly participate in the event. what's your response, rosemary? >> well, it was like a blow to the stomach hearing that response because this was never political. we did not make this political. it was made political when we got the phone call from chief haggle telling us that we were making it political just because we had speakers and a singer that is of

republican values. and we were told that they are not representative of the community. how did we make this political? i don't understand it. ainsley: i know. listen, i getcha. what are you going to do now. how do you feel? i mean, i'm sure this is really bothersome to you. >> yeah. it's completely. it's devastating to me. we had all the right intentions. we started this foundation not for myself. i started this for my father, to honor his memory. i started this foundation to help other families who have gone through what i have gone through and my family has gone through. i want to help people. ainsley: of course. >> i also want to bring communities together. i want everyone to come together. there is a war on cops right now. it's terrible what's happening to our law enforcement and it's important for all of us to unite, to come together. no matter where you come from. no matter the color of your skin, if you are hispanic, white, black, republican,

democrat, we all need to come together to. ainsley: i couldn't agree more. i'm so sorry for everything have you been through. god bless you for doing. this. >> thank you, ainsley, so much. ainsley: you are welcome. more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ this fall, book two, separate qualifying stays at choicehotels.com... ...and earn a free night. because when your business is rewarding yourself, our business is you. book direct at choicehotels.com

steve: new questions for house intel committee chair adam schiff of california about what he knew and when as new reports claim the whistleblower contacted his office actually a staff member with complaints about the president's phone call before it was filed. ainsley: here to react is fox news senior judicial analyst and host of liberty file on fox nation judge andrew napolitano. judge, who is telling the truth? the whistleblower is saying that they contacted someone on his staff and then schiff is saying we have not talked to the whistleblower.

>> congressman -- good morning, congressman schiff says that when he said we was referring to the intelligence committee. he was not referring to the staff of the intelligence committee. the staff consists of lawyers, investigators, many of whom are exfbi agents the democrats have a staff, a larger one. republicans have a staff, a smaller one, because the democrats have the majority on the committee american people are going to see a process many of us remember from the clinton days different from what you expect from basic knowledge of criminal law. congressman schiff is not neutral. he is the prosecutor. steve: and is he political. >> correct. there is nothing wrong with a prosecutor interviewing witnesses. the problem with this is he should have been more specific. he should have acknowledge it. because when he doesn't he undermines his credibility. there is nothing wrong with prosecutors interviewing witnesses. this is the pattern in impeachment. president johnson impeached by a republican house of

representatives. president nixon by a democratic house of represents. president nixon wasn't iment peechesd. he resigned. president clinton by a republican house of representatives. now we have a democratic house going after president trump. they don't pretend to be neutral in this particular case the cia person met with a staffer member of mr. schiff's and said you need to get an attorney, you need to go to the ig. you need to file the complaint this helps donald trump because now he is going to say look i told you they were on this together. >> president smiling because this is so typical of him. he said congressman schiff helped write the complaint. steve: no evidence of that. >> correct. that's just the president's way of being critical of the whole process. this process is new to the american people. going to see a lot of surprises that come out of the blue. this is one of them. brian: how much is legitimately discovered and how much is scripted? do they know exactly what's going to happen? because adam schiff's trust quotient is pretty low.

>> mrs. pelosi said some things about what the whistleblower complained about before the complaint was revealed. brian: on "60 minutes." >> this is probably how she learned about it. >> intelligence committee staff to the speaker's staff. brian: good column today on. >> mets tie season is over. brian: bit of a surprise. coming up straight ahead the medal of honor is given to our nationest military heroes. museum honoring them finally getting a new home. ceo of the museum are here live next. ♪ ♪ ♪

honestly the patriotism, the graciousness, warmth, selflessness that we found in arlington, texas just overwhelmed the board. brian: you get that patriotism in texas. i think they were born with it, too. joe, would you do you think it's important to recognize these men. >> i have seen the power first hand what museums can do to transform this country. as the former ceo of the 9/11 museum bringing people together through stories is super impactful and these stories of the recipients are the most important in our country wants history. brian: major general patrick brady, you are wearing the recipient's honor. you are a board member for. this i am. brian: tell me about your story, serving in vietnam. >> i was a helicopter ambulance pilot in vietnam, what they call the dust-off pilot. our job was to pick up the wounded over there. it's a story that's not been told very often. but during the course of the war, medical evacuation helicopters rescued like a million men, women, children, enemy, as well as friendly.

those things together will help every american apply the values of this medal in their lives so they make the right choice when they're faced with hard circumstances. brian: you guys never got the appreciation when you fought. what do you hope they get when go. >> we should realize america has no kings or queens or dukes or dutches. but we have do have nobility. nobility is veterans. it only has a meaning if it's lived for the next generation. this museum will be a vault for our values. patriotism is an issue in america today. we hope this will inspire and educated young people. they walk in one door of the museum, not guys with capes. guys with dog tags. and they will be inspired to know they can be heroes. brian: the bond that you guys have will be front and center and the stories will be out there thanks to guys like you, joe, and what you did. great job. thanks for announcing it here arlington texas.

♪ any bay you want it ♪ that's the way you need it ♪ any way you want it. brian: it's a little redundant, this song is redundant. it is catchy. it reminds me of having a record player like joe biden talked about, and playing this album. for as long as i know they only had two albums or i lost interest after two albums. i will look into that and find out from my people what i was thinking back then but this song is catchy. it was a time in which we needed record players. ainsley: do you know what changed though? we knew what group sang every single song. brian: we did.

ainsley: because we would have to buy the whole cd or the whole record player or who ca cassette. now you download just one song. steve: the one you want. we used to listen to the whole song whether it's on the radio or on your record player or your 8 track, had the little. ainsley: now people don't listen to the whole song. steve: no, listen to the part they like. they listen to 30 seconds. brian: i stopped listen to the chorus. ainsley: next thing you know no music. no one is going to listen at all. brian: exactly. they will hum. steve: time to face the music according to the democrats. ainsley: top story, brian. brian: i can't read are a that one. i didn't know you stole my line. the democrats subpoenaed the white house in their impeachment inquiry. steve: to face the music. this is the former ukraine envoy to the united states prepares to testify on capitol hill later today at 9:30 eastern. and new documents emerge about the biden's ties to

ukraine. ainsley: okay. kevin corke is live at the white house with reaction from our president. hey, kevin. >> good morning, guys. you are right. the president remains defiant. the white house saying this is all political. this has nothing to do with what happened on a call or the fact that the president simply asked the ukrainians to look into what has been described as political malfeasance by some here. now, as we take a live look here at the white house, it is a quiet morning here in washington. but it won't always be that way. we will get to what will be coming up on capitol hill a little bit later. but the president was asked yesterday by our john roberts, my good colleague here at the white house will you cooperate as the democrats fly out all those subpoenas, et cetera. here is what the president had to say about it. >> well, i always cooperate. this is a hoax. this is a fraudulent crime on the american people, but we will work together with shifty schiff and pelosi and all of them, which i have a lot of respect for whistleblowers but only when they are real. >> only when they're real

and that is a real question. who is the whistleblower? where did the whistleblower get the information? second hand? was it first hand? did they work with adam schiff? were they working with an attorney coordinated by adam schiff and others? so many questions. speaking of adam schiff he and nancy pelosi yesterday on capitol hill said we are moving forward one way or the other. >> we are proceeding deliberately. but at the same time, we feel a real sense of urgency here that this work needs to get done and get done in a responsible period of time. >> you heard adam schiff threatening the white house don't delay. don't slow walk things. , this of course, as the former ukraine envoy kurt volcker you see him right there is set to testify on capitol hill later on tonight. the democrats want impeachment. this will, one way or the other, damage the president, perhaps damaging his 2020 prospects. although my friends who are on the other side of the aisle on capitol hill would also tell you that this is

not about politics. this is about the rule of law. so it's very interesting on both sides you see this argument, this tug-of-war. this push and pull. i, for one, will be watching it from here primarily as the president and the white house continue to react. but today could be very interesting. we will learn more about the biden's ties to a business in ukraine. that and much more coming up later today but for now, guys, back to you. steve: that's right. thank you very much. kurt volcker the special envoy will be testifying behind closed doors at 9:30 eastern time. is he expected to say he was squeezed out of the administration. and apparently he did meet with the president of ukraine the day after the president had the phone call with him. and i think the congressman are probably going to say if you consider the phone call inappropriate, that the president did something inappropriate, did you notify law enforcement and if not why not? brian: he says he resigned. andy mccarthy is a fox news contributor and former assistant u.s. attorney for

the southern district of new york. on day nine, andy, who won? who won day nine yesterday? the president at 2:30 or was it nancy pelosi at 11:00? 11:00 or was it the news that broke after that? >> yeah. brian, i guess if you had to make a call, it's the president because of the news that broke about adam schiff. i must tell you this cycle changes every two or three hours. so, it's hard to -- i think you have to watch trajectory. and what i would say here about the trajectory is, you know, steve was just talking about violating law. i don't think this is actually about law-breaking. i think this is a political dispute. and if it's a political dispute, that is if it's just about abuse of power, it's not about a violation of the federal penal code, then the politics o are what matters. right now it looks like the more you see that schiff is insinuated in it, the more that you see this complaint could not have been written

by the whistleblower, it's very lawyered up as a document. steve: right. >> this looks like a big project that a lot of people were involved in. ainsley: what do you make of what happened yesterday with adam schiff. the "new york times" had this headline schiff got early account of accusations as whistleblower's concerns grew. this is what adam schiff said about that. listen to, this andy, and we will get your reaction. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. we would like to. but i'm sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been advised, as the law requires, by the inspector general or the director of national intelligence just as to how he is to communicate with congress. ainsley: that was his reaction. september 17th. he said we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. that contradicts what was reported in the "new york times." steve: the "new york times" what they said is apparently the whistleblower contacted a member of the committee a staff member we have a concern. staff member said you need to get a lawyer. file a complaint. there is no suggestion that

he actually met with mr. schiff. they have denied that but, the aide did share the story with mr. schiff and then when he goes on tv and says we, it sounds like he and the committee. but he just meant he personally did not speak to the whistleblower. >> this goes to what we were just talking about which is the trajectory of you who this is all playing out. let me preface this by saying i actually testified before this committee and i thought that schiff, of all the democrats who asked me questions, he was clearly the most able lawyer. he is clearly, you know, he is not a dumb guy. he is very good at the nuts and bolts stuff of lawyering and interrogating. but he was kind of moved in here and jerry nadler was elbowed aside to become the face of the impeachment project in the house. and i think the longer you look at this, i don't think his credibility is going to be able to stand up to the job. and it may just be that if

the job is that you are making up something because you don't have actual evidence of impeachable offenses, that has to happen. but my big take away for this, what it's worth and this is maybe just as an old jury trial lawyer who knows the kind of things that bother juries, now that we know that schiff was in at least in the outlines of this from the get-go, what that says to me is he had about six weeks to prepare that ridiculous speech that he gave at the beginning of the -- of that conference. in other words, this is something that they thought long and hard about, and that was the best he could come up with this thing that wouldn't even make it into a c-grade mob movie? that was terrible. brian: couple things. number one it, seems clear. two days ago abc had this story, the inspector general from the state department has an urgent need to speak to the intelligence committee yesterday. what's going to happen behind closed doors? reportedly they had nothing. the democrats were frustrated they had leading questions. they had nothing. my question to you, andy, is

if it's just about what we have of a transcript of a call and a nine-page complaint. and they are going to fish for the next few weeks with a series of guests and get nothing, is it enough to impeach a president or does something have to be unearthed behind closed doors? >> look, brian, as far as is it enough to impeach the president, if they are going to do a raw political impeachment where they are just relying on the fact that they have the numbers and they can make jay walking an article of imeevment if they decide to just because they have enough votes, sure they can beach is him over it. it will rebound to their great detriment. your point just now about this guy calling and saying he had an urgent concern, to me, that just underscores how lawyered up this is. he didn't have an urgent concern like you and i are talking right now having a normal person or as normal as we can be, brian, a normal person conversation. he was invoking a term of

art in the statute which supposedly triggers this whole procedure that ends up with a report having to be made by congress. now, in point of fact, that statute does not apply at all to the president's conduct of foreign affairs. so, it shouldn't even have been relied on by the inspector general. steve: right. >> i think the dni when it landed in his lap kind of did the best he could to treat it correctly under the statute while not throwing his inspector general under the bus. steve: right. >> the fact is, number one, the statute doesn't apply and, number two, the reason they were invoking the magic words from the statute is this is a lawyered up script. it's not an actual complaint. and this goes to my point which is that this is not an impeachment inquiry. it's an impeachment show for television. steve: right. >> there is no inquiry. they have never made a vote. all this talk we have had in the last couple of days about subpoenas, there is no subpoenas. they wrote a couple of

snippy letters which, in them, make the preposterous claim that if you don't do everything we say in the letter we are going to cite you -- that's not -- it's not an enforceable legal document. if they were serious about this they would have voted because then they would have an inquiry and they would issue subpoenas they don't want to do that because subpoenas get litigated in court. people get to move to quash the subpoenas and people get to make legal arguments. brian: take a long time. >> explain to a federal judge why haven't you voted for impeachment? this isn't the house of representatives looking for impeachment. this is nancy pelosi has decreed we have an impeachment inquiry. steve: well, as you said, it's a tv show. the tv show says they are going to send the white house some subpoenas tomorrow. stay tuned. it's like a soap opera. brian: they at this point in time done by thanksgiving. the longer it goes for the republicans, the shorter it goes for democrats. steve: all right, andy. thank you for joining us today. >> have a great day. ainsley: you too. jillian has headlines. jillian: good morning.

analyst for his department's racial recognition team because she says the software is racist. the chief sounding off earlier this morning. >> if i had made a similar comment, people would be outraged. they would be calling for my resignation. jillian: that was obviously not this morning. he was on our earlier though is morning saying something similar. tlaib says research shows analysts using facial requisition technology more accurately able to identify members of their own race. the chief says he trusts people regardless of color. the boys say they noticed coach skip's car was unreliable so they started saving up by doing odd jobs and secretly set up a go fund me. >> i love being a coach. to think about me that way is a blessing, really a blessing and i really appreciate it. only come from above. jillian: the louisiana students brought coach skip

i want the best for you. because i know that's exactly what botham would want you to do the best would be to give your life to christ. can i give her a hug, pleas please? >> such an amazing moment brant and guyger crying as they hugged in the courtroom. she handed her a bible before she was taken to prison. outside the courtroom a much different scene. [chanting no justice, no peace] >> riot police taking to the streets as protests broke out. many saying 10 years not enough. the victim's mother allison john called for new focus on police training in the city of dallas. >> our life must move on. but our life must move on with change. the city of dallas needs to clean up inside.

the dallas police department has a lot of laundry to do. >> guyger is eligible for parole in five years and, guys, i think it's clear that the strength of brant john will soon not be forgotten. steve: just the act of forgiveness is so strong that he would forgive her for killing his brother. brian: the judge hesitated because you don't know. you are supposed to keep everybody apart. he is like can i, do you mind? can i? she was probably like i'm supposed to keep the defendant away from the family member. it could go awry. >> i think she might have been inspired by that. then she got up and hugged amber as well. gave her the bible. brant john, 18 years old. that's how old he is. clearly such a man of strong faith as with both ham a member of his church choir as well. such a tragic story. he died as he was eating ice cream in his own apartment. what an incredible law. steve: unbelievable. >> the judge hugging her.

ainsley: tell us what happened here. >> on the show we talked about his general health. he said he worked hard. wasn't sleeping as much as he liked to on the campaign trail. he felt pretty strong. we actually played basketball he posted up pretty well down low. as a young man he was a big runner. and then, of course, tuesday night he developed chest pain. and he probably did not realize he had a heart problem ahead of time. i have got to say when you get into your 70's as the four leading candidates for the president, three other candidates are it becomes pretty common to have at&t they're row sclerosis. i brought you video to show what you they did. steve: animation. >> blockage in the middle of your heart. steve: stuff on the boat. >> tighter and blood floating. without that blood you get chest pain. that that measure is inserted in the middle of it. exanded and crushes the plaque out of the way. doesn't remove the plaque pushes it out of the way.

provide life is you staining. procedures are very quick and seemless. steve: very common. >> heart surgery. open up the chest. join the zipper club. bypass graphs. with the stent you are back to your regular form in about a week. there is a 95% chance that he will not have another problem with this stent in the next year. and that's about, roughly that percentage every year. steve: but if you have blockage in one area, do you have blockages in others. >> usually you have blockages in other areas not tight blockages. here is the reality. people in 70's most of them have plaque somewhere. doesn't mean they are going to have an issue. plenty of 95-year-old people who will die with plaque but not from the plaque. it doesn't mean they will have an issue. this is the truth i think about our aging process is we are behaving younger. the age that our body thinks it is actually younger than our chronological age. this is an important reminder to all of us be transparent and require

transparency not just about our health but the health of the people running for president. i think it's a wonderful thing that senator sanders is doing well after the stent. brian: he is 78 years old. >> 78 years old and strong and heart muscle is fine. it's not going to impact his future. if he ignored the pain that could have been a catastrophe. more importantly being transparent allows all of to us make a wise judgment. a lot of people run away from their health issues thinking it will show up as a weakness. we are adults. we have been there. we have relatives in their 70's we know they can be fully functional for many more years and lead us. we deserve to know. brian: you talked to bernie sanders on your show about his age. let's listen. if elected you would be age 79 when inaugurated make you the oldest president ever to have gone through that process. do you believe the benefit of the wisdom that comes with 79 years of experience? >> look, i think if people look at my life's work which has involved standing up to

almost every powerful special interest in this country, i think people will be impressed by that record. steve: and bernie sent out a tweet, i believe, overnight where he talked about thank you for the support. he is lucky he has good healthcare and then made it a plug for medicare for all. >> it does help that you have medicare. i argue with senator sanders about more than medicare for all which is the programs he is offering. it's worth having that debate. i just want to make sure our candidates are healthy and where they need to be emotionally to do it. it does take a big burden off people's heart. half the doctors in america want medicare for all. that's the crisis we have. brian: that's a whole different conversation. bernie sanders specifically, if he is your patient and he is recovering well, when is he back on the stump going full bore or is it a graduation? >> i think in about a week he can resume activities pretty aggressively. maybe another week to get the full speed. not a long time in recovery. ainsley: we wish him the best.

talking to the folks. a ton of folks have come out here in hampton and it's been a fun morning. first i want to talk to chip here in cannon falls, a farmer. chip, you actually know oscar of little oscar. >> new oscar grew up in cannon falls. went to school with his kids. oscar is the real deal. pete: have you been a farmer in the area. a lot of talk about tariffs. what's your take. >> farm something cyclical. i don't like this blaming trump for farm economy and the tariffs. trump is finally standing up to the chinese, you know. actually working for the farmer. trying to get bills passed, you know, like the canada, mexico one. i wish speaker pelosi would put that to a vote. that would help us, too. pete: try to get bills passed they are doing something else. your take on the latest on impeachment? >> yeah. and maybe they get more attention with the impeachment instead of trump maybe giving him some credit for passing something good. we can't do that y., i wish

it's all a show. it's all, you know, it's a grasping for last straws what the democrats are doing. pete: grasping for last straws. chip, we appreciate it. you are in healthcare, big supporter of law enforcement that's an issue you are passionate about. >> exactly. trump has got the backs of our boys in blue the sheriff here all the way out to my friends that are deploying here very soon. and so anybody who has got their back, the folks who are doing it every day for us, i have got his back. pete: well-said. how much impeachment? >> it's a smoke in mirrors thing. it's a joke. it's a way to get attention from a failing party. pete: thank you very much. appreciate it, john. we are going to scoot on over. this is called moving through the diner. scooting across the seat. i'm here with ann and mike. married, seven kids. i love it. ann, you are actually a waitress here but it's your day off and you decided to join us. thank you so much. you are passionate about pro-life issues. something very important to you. but i want to go to impeachment. your take on what democrats are doing right now in washington? >> i agree. it's also a distraction.

the democrat party sr. party of no. no to everything that trump and the conservatives have put forward. and they want to just distract from the things that are kind of going down. pete: distraction from the stuff that's not happening in the house of representatives? >> right. the nothing. i mean, they have done nothing. pete: what have they done is a good question. mike, you are a shop manager and small business. how is business these days? >> business is great. great. pete: dcredit the president and his policies for a lot of that? >> a lot of it, yeah. pete: how about impeachment on what washington, d.c. is doing right now? >> well, the impeachment is just one more thing because trump is not part of the club and the left's relentless pursuit to try to frame him, to try to take him down is just proof of that. and, you know, it's like watching wiley coyote trying to catch the road runner. you want to laugh about it

but it's our country at stake, you know, you can't laugh about it. they are ridiculous. pete: mike and ann, thank you so much. well-said and take care of those seven kiddos. all right. this is hampton, minnesota. as i said, not the hamptons. we should listen more to these folks. got a lot of common wisdom. brian: you buried the lead. there is no one in minnesota who thinks they can beat the yankees because they always lose to the yankees. pete: they are, brian. brian: how to respond. ainsley: it's not convincing. pete: hey, hey. not convincing. steve: we have a yankees fan and twin fan. ainsley: i was expecting a big crowd screaming, no. do it again. pete: we don't staining things here. pete: hold on, everybody, listen up. you have one shot to tell new york city what we think are the minnesota twins going to beat the yankees in this series.

voters, including a whopping 74% of conservatives have considered moving out of that state. they are blaming the state's quote political culture as a top reason for leaving. our next guest can relate. he served in the california state assembly for six years before moving down to texas. joining us now is vice president of the texas policy foundation chuck devore. hey, chuck, good to see you again. >> good to see you, ainsley. ainsley: thank you. for the folks who aren't familiar with your story, tell us why you left california. >> well, we left california for a number of reasons. before i was elected to the state assembly i was in the arrow space industry and most of them left the state over the last few years. and so unless i wanted to live out of a suitcase, i needed to move out of california. the other challenge we had is my aged i in-laws need to be taken care of and the housing costs are so high in the state of california we found it impossible to have them live with us so we could care with them unless we moved to texas. ainsley: really. are you happier?

>> absolutely. we can afford things in texas. and, plus, the bigger thing that you find in this poll is that in texas the politicians aren't seeking to regulate speech and politics and property and even faith like they are doing increasingly in california. and that was one of the very interesting things about this poll out of uc berkeley is that conservatives in california aren't just upset about high housing coasts or high taxes. they are growing increasingly concerned about the state's hostile political climate. ainsley: yeah. if you look there was a poll that was taken, so the reasons conservative californians are considering leaving the state 84% of them said because of the political culture. 61 percent said housing costs and 76 percent said high taxes. so all along i thought people were leaving because of the high taxes. i thought it was conservatives and liberals but if you look at this poll, the majority of them are leaving because of the culture, because they don't like the politics there. were you surprised by that? >> well, it was a bit

surprising. but, let me give you one small recent example. a few months ago the california legislature passed a law that governor newsom signed that was designed to disenfranchise republicans in california who wanted to vote for president donald trump. this law was pass tently unconstitutional. in fact, jerry brown vetoed the same bill two years ago saying that was going to be unconstitutional. newsom signed it anyway. it was designed to keep the president off the ballot in california. now, thankfully, a federal judge just threw it out. but there were 4.5 million californians who voted for president donald trump in 2016. ainsley: so what do you think will happen in 2020? >> well, what you are beginning to see is increasingly conservative voters are leaving deep, deep blue states like illinois, like new york, like california and they are going to states that are often battle grounds like, for example, pennsylvania or florida or nevada or texas.

i don't think texas is a battle ground but certainly nevada is. i believe this may shift a few states in favor of president trump in his re-election in 2020. ainsley: we will see. nancy pelosi is going after texas. she wants to win texas. she says that eventually it will turn democratic. we will see. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: good to see you. you are welcome. prince harry and duchess meghan suing a british newspaper for publishing a private letter that meghan sent to her dad. does she have a case? we're going to ask an attorney coming up next ♪ ♪ war is declared ♪ battle come down ♪ some are calling to the underworld ♪ come out of the covers boys and girls ♪ searching for a way to help stop your cold sore?

and more importantly the letter that is the crux of this whole argument we initially learned about it in "people" magazine in interviews that were basically sanctioned by the royal couple where her friend set the record straight about her and brought forth this letter in the first place. steve: they are angry they got their hands on the letter that she had given to "people" magazine. >> she didn't give the letter to "people" magazine. her friends talked about the letter and construed it in a different way. in the u.k. a letter is considered copy written even though i mail it to you and you have physical possession of it i still retain the ownership in whether it can be published or shared. ainsley: how is this going to play out? >> basically there are also exceptions to the copyright rule. the exception i think it would fall under is reporting of current events. in a case like that a judge is going to look to see when it was published, was it fair? does that mean was there a legitimate and continuing public concern? there is. because you brought up the letter in the first place and now the only way to kind

of get the gist of what it really is to publish it. steve: the mail on sunday says this: they stand by the story published and will be defenderring this case vigorously. there are different standards in the u.k. and the u.s.s. clearly. >> yes. but in the united states your letter is also still copy written if you send it. steve: is that right? >> yes. steve: never knew that. who knew? ainsley: what was the big headline out of letter? >> basically shows she wasn't as kind to her father as she put forth. more importantly, they say they will vigorously defend this that's interesting because they are seeking damages. if they are not going to settle. we have seen royal lawsuits we saw with prince charles in 2006 it was injunction. if this comes forward in court she will have to go to court. first royal in over a century. steve: she doesn't want to do that. ainsley: and family doesn't either. steve: thank you for joining us live. >> thanks for having me. steve: straight ahead, house speaker nancy pelosi speaking out moments ago about president trump and

steve: griff jenkins. brian: griff, do you feel like a champion every day? reporter: absolutely. just give me that belt. but instead i have got news for you guys. this is what everyone is talking in washington. that is that revelation fox obtained notes from giuliani's interview on january 23rd of this year with former ukrainian prosecutor by phone. he is a key player and the man biden bragged about getting fired. he told giuliani on the call, that he called off the investigation into burisma, the natural gas firm linked to hunter biden. giuliani writes this, mr. shokin threatened to continued investigations, but that smoke kin, no stranger to accusations of corruption himself as we

learned the state department inspector general turned the notes. giuliani says shokin will come to washington to testify. >> he told me will testify and point the finger at joe biden and his son. he told me that they are corrupt as sin. reporter: joe biden had a message for president trump. >> let me make clear to president trump and his hatchet men who funded attacks against me. i'm not going anywhere.

reporter: no indication if any three house committees investigating will call shokin across the atlantic. perhaps one of the senate ones will have an interest as well. guys? brian: thanks, driven. because as we learned from jason chaffetz, if you do an impeachment inquiry instead of a impeachment vote, that means the minority party in this case the republicans don't get a chance to call their own witnesses. steve: if there is a vote, republicans have a say. they have not had a vote thus far. meanwhile something we've been talking about regarding the whistleblower, whether or not we've had guests on who suggested that there is possibility looking what the whistleblower had said. what adam schiff said ahead of time, whether or not there was any sort of coordination between the two? "new york times" had a headline yesterday, maybe we have a better idea. ainsley: this is what the headline said. schiff's early account of accusations as whistleblower's concerns grew. steve: i was going to say the whistleblower approach ad member

of the house committee that mr. schiff is involved in and suggested, listen to the whistleblower's complaint. suggested he hire an attorney. that he meet with the ig and file a complaint. then that aide shared the story with mr. schiff. didn't tell him the whistleblower's identity but told him broadly the story of the whistleblower. brian: it makes sense. now you understand his frustration when the director of national intelligence was not elevating the whistle blower put him in front of the committee. he said i brought it to the white house, department of justice. they said it is not an urgent matter. we have yet to know who the whistleblower is. he has not gone to undisclosed location to pleat with the committee. adam schiff on september 17th before we knew the blowout later on in a week, when president was at the united nations talking about a hypothetical whistleblower. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. we would like to. i'm sure the whistleblower is

concerned that he has not been advised as the law requires by the inspector general or director of national intelligence how he is to communicate with congress. steve: he said we haven't, he denied, we have not spoken directly to the whistleblower. we implies he and staff, democrats. now we know according to "the new york times" that a member of his staff did speak to the whistleblower and then told mr. schiff the story. ainsley: do you think mr. schiff would have said, who is this person? i need to know more about this person? steve: we don't know that. that they are denying that they identified him to mr. schiff. ainsley: this is what the lawyer for the whistleblower said. i can unequivocally state that neither any member of the legal team nor the whistleblower has ever met or spoken with congressman schiff about this matter. steve: regarding that kind of coordination or cooperation there wasn't any according to the whistleblower's lawyer. brian: kurt volcker was the envoy to the ukraine.

he resigned last weekend. i don't know, behind closed doors what exactly he will say but we know kurt volcker held up, rudy giuliani held up a phone to show there was dialogue between kurt volcker. he said i'm setting up breakfast with you, with the ambassador. patrick bowan, spokesman for adam schiff, said, wait a second. the whistleblower contacted the committee for guidance how to report possible wrongdoing with the jurisdiction of intel committee. this is regular occurrence give the committee's oversight role and consistent with the committee longstanding procedures. the committee advised whistle whistleblower advised the to contact an inspector general and to seek legal counsel. at no point did the committee review or receive the complaint

in advance. leading to jerry nadler's brilliance, he went quiet for a while. there is a report one of his staffers traipsing through the ukraine doing what, we're not sure. ainsley: andy mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney fox news contributor was on with us earlier. this is what he had to say. weighed in on it. >> now that we know schiff was in the outlines of this from the get-go, what that says to me, he had about six weeks to prepare that ridiculous speech that he gave at the beginning of the, of that conference. in other words, this is something that they thought long and hard about and that was the best he could come up with? this is not an impeachment inquiry. it is an impeachment show for television. there is no inquiry. they never made a vote. all this talk we had in the last couple days of subpoenas, there is no subpoenases. if they were serious about this, they would vote it then they would have inquiry, then they would issue subpoenas. brian: they say they're going to today.

steve: apparently tomorrow the democrats will issue subpoenas to the white house. that would mean they have issued subpoenas to, they talked about rudy and the department of state and the white house. and all they have to do is not provide everything that is requesting and then the democrats will say that the department of state, rudy and it white house are withholding evidence. that is obstruction of justice. that is another article of impeachment. so if you look at the list so far, that's three articles of impeachment for the democrats. brian: talk about, they're going to ask, get this, more transcripts from world leaders, from australian to the italian leader to find out interaction that should be a no-go zone. >> that is fishing expedition. brian: you can subpoena all these questions in order for you to go forward with impeachment which is dicey at best. now every president from here on in. every conversation -- steve: brian you can do that as when andy mccarthy said it is tv show.

it is impeachment tv show. ainsley: a broadway production. steve: to change people's minds. brian: you can't get. you can't give it up. is impossible for him to give it up. ainsley: we heard some people say when there is a crime, you find out who did the crime. in this situation they found the culprit. now they're trying to find the crime. brian: that transcript is not enough. steve: they're looking for some there there. so far they keep something for more. brian: lastly if you want to know why ag barr is in italy and secretary of state is in italy and why senator lindsey graham, australia, uk, italy, help us out, that is all about what launched the investigation into president trump. they're not just arbitrarily talking to world leaders. they're trying, they're doing an investigation led by john durham, helping the inspector general. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. hey, jillian. jillian: good thursday morning to you. a police officer is killed in

we can get things done. steve: get things done. >> between the election and now certain things have changed. now i don't necessarily know if they rise to the level of articles of impeachment but this issue with ukraine is an important one and needs to be seen through but it is politically risky for democrats. steve: charlie, at the same time, she's right, if the ukrainian thing rose to quid pro quo where you read it, holy cow, he said i'm not going to give you any money unless you do this, that's to the fair. >> that is exactly the problem. it's a huge if. we've seen the transcript, there is absolutely no evidence there was any crime or anything wrong with what the president did but that's the problem with having this impeachment in search of a crime. you know, first of all we were impeaching him, president trump because he colluded with

russians in the 2016 election. steve: right. >> turns out democrats were the ones who did this. now we've gone through three or four different iterations of it. now it is this ukrainian thing which makes no sense to any normal person. the reason democrats are going with impeachment because they don't want to argue with the issues. they will lose on the issues. the sneaky thing people forget about the 2016 election, donald trump won that election on the issues. it was a very issue oriented campaign. it is so stupid for democrats to try to bring -- >> donald trump won that election in 2016 by co-opting democratic economic issues. >> exactly. >> like trade. >> i personally think democrats would be successful if they did argue the issues as we've seen in 2018. they have a constitutional duty of oversight, but again they have to be careful about taking it too far. >> democrats are afraid of going up against donald trump on those things because he was so successful stealing in them.

steve: he is successful at marketing. calling them the do-nothing democrats. if that sticks that is not good for your party. >> that's true. for better or worse i think we'll continue to see everybody pointing fingers at everybody else. they will be called do nothing democrats. democrats in the house say, it is a do nothing mitch mcconnell in the senate. everything that we passed go es to die there. t much. they are the obstructionists. it is another day in the swamp. meantime the american people are losing. steve: charlie. >> you have issue like usmca trade deal out there, people whose livelihoods are depending on this democrats refuse to put the vote on the floor even though it would probably pass. that is a winning fight for donald trump. steve: you know what? she is not in because she would like to see that as as well. good discussion. 8:19 here in new york city, some

firearms registry. >> under the firearms act of 1934 there is a situation when they outlawed machine guns, they said okay, you can continue to have the machine gun if you own it, but guess what, you got to let us know you have one. you got to let us know you have one. >> national firearms act. >> you got it. i want that for all assault weapons. i want that for magazines. what happens if we know you have one, the likelihood of that ever being used in a commission of a crime after a voluntary buyback is highly unlikely. highly unlikely. ainsley: dana? >> yeah. what he is talking about is ultimately a repeal of the second amendment. he is talking about going after all semiautomatic firearms. there is no such thing as a assault weapon. you have something that is semiautomatic, select fire, full auto. there are a reason. these terms are incredibly important. this dictates what law comes into play. it's a difference between misdemeanors and felonies too.

it is very important these candidates, they want to show they are passionate about the issue as they claim to be, do more than virtue signal, have understanding of the law you want us to abide by. you talk about every single thing an fa item. talking about tax stamps, having to ask the government for permission. full list of everyone in the united states, everything they own, what exactly they own. to be frank with you, i don't really trust the democrat party with people's names on lists after what we saw castro do. it is ripe for intimidation. it is ripe for, quite frankly suppression. look at history of this country and why we have the, why we have the root of the second amendment. to a bigger point they're talking about pricing out lower income individuals of being able to exercise their second amendment rights due to the fees involved with what they're discussing. brian: best advocate for your point of view was beto o'rourke's extreme remarks from a few weeks ago.

even democrats admitted they lost that argument. >> yeah. brian: dana loesch, thanks so much. >> all their plans are almost identical to his. don't let anyone, don't let anyone mistake me. all their plans are essentially identical to beto o'rourke's. this is the democrat party now. brian: dana, thank you. president is heading to minnesota next week. our own pete hegseth decided to go ahead of that to the diner and have us pay for it. hey, pete. ♪

so we, the people, can prosper. pete: said you've been a lifelong republican but there is something about president trump that energized you even more? >> yeah. i never really was super, super enthused about politics until he came in to play i just think he is doing a fantastic job. he is actually opened my eyes to a lot of corruption in d.c. which i had no idea. pete: shelley, thank you very much. bob, i will end it with you. you're a manager with one of the biggest crain operators in minnesota. doing that 40 years. >> that's correct. pete: how is that industry? >> good. pete: good to hear. talk of impeachment as someone who works hard what do you make of what is happening in washington? >> this is just a distraction. they don't have anything else, they are trying to do everything to ruin trump. he is doing a good job. pete: what are they distracting from in your mind? >> everything.
