♪ ♪ >> house democrats is set a mid-october deadline for the white house to honor a subpoena for a slew of documents or they say are related to their impeachment inquiry. this after accusing president trump of choosing, quote, the path of defiance, obstruction and cover-up. good afternoon and welcome to america's news headquarters from washington, i'm joanne neely. leland: welcome. you've been working this whole week. my buddy, guy benson, was asked to sum up this week, and he said it's been a long month. [laughter] >> all in the matter of a few days. leland: i'm leland vittert. the white house is saying t just

a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. the president's at his golf club enjoying a nice fall afternoon -- >> it is very fall-like. leland: and garrett tenney is following more on what the house democrats have to say about all this. >> reporter: hey, leland. right now it look like this fight over documents is likely going to end up in the courts. so far the white house is refusing to cooperate, and last night a trio of top democrats issued a new effort. the heads of the committees have given the white house until october 18th to provide documents related to their impeachment inquiry, and in a letter to mick mulvaney, the lawmakers warned failure or refusal to comply shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the house's impeachment inquiry and may be used against you and the president. those same committees have also now requested documents from vice president mike pence regarding a report he was involved in efforts to

investigate the bidens. this all comes on the same day that secretary of state mike pompeo missed the deadline to comply with a separate subpoena for documents related to his department's interaction with ukraine and president bush's personal attorney, rudy giuliani -- president trump's. today in athenss, greece, pompeo criticized the democratic-led committee. >> sadly, there have been congressional inquiries that have harassed and abused state department employees by contacting them directly and seeking to have them provide documents, documents belong to the state department and asking them to do so without saying, hey, don't bother calling the state department lawyers, just talk to discuss directly. >> reporter: last night in south carolina speaker nancy pelosi defedded the inquiry and said it is a sad and somber time for the cup. >> some people say why are you doing this, he's not worth it.

to divide the country this way. i say he may not be, but our constitution is worth it. [applause] our democracy is worth it. >> reporter: fox news is told the state department is in touch with the committees which are trying to work something out. they have officials testify. the deputy secretary of state is slated to testify on monday, but we are told that hearing likely won't happen as scheduled. leland? leland: all right. and we'll see if the secretary has anything to say while he's overseas on this as well. garrett tenney, thank you. jillian? >> ellison barber is at the white house. what's the latest? >> reporter: yeah, so the white house press secretary says the request coming from democrats at this point are a waste of taxpayers' money and also time. for now it seems like the white house is not going to move, and they are not going to cooperate with those requests. on the south lawn yesterday, president trump told appropriators whether or not he cooperate -- reporters whether or not he cooperates with the investigation is up to lawyers. n

monday, telling her the white house are not hand over any documents until a full house vote is held on the impeachment inquiry. president trump has repeatedly disparaged the inquiry, he says that he's being treated unfairly and he did nothing wrong. >> i don't with care about biden's campaign, but i do care about corruption. what i want to do -- and i think i have an obligation to do and probably a duty to do it -- corruption. we are looking for corruption. is and i believe there was tremendous corruption with biden. >> reporter: and a couple of republicans are now criticizing president trump for saying that china should look into the

bidens. president trump attacked one of those republican senators on twitter this morning. jillian? >> ellison barber live at the white house, thank you. leland? leland: we'll dig into this now with matt schlapp. >> good to be with you. leland: there's spin and then there's this is just a president who's really worried about corruption. really? >> yeah, really. and this is what the corruption is, just so you know. it is political in nature, but as a life are long republican -- lifelong republican who's a proud republican but a conservative first, i've been in this town a long time. everyone says obama never had any scandals and everything was just fine, and the reason why people say that is because investigations were called off on wrong-doing. when it comes to donald trump, my lord, if the man jaywalks -- [laughter] leland: okay. so you and i were talking

earlier. you like the way the president is saying the house needs to hold a vote, forcing nancy pelosi's hand before they'll honor -- >> there's no impeachment without a vote to get started. they're changing the ground rules constantly. first of all, it was going to be adam schiff that was going to take the lead on impeachment. i just watched your story. now the subpoenas are coming from three committees? this is a disaster of a process. there's no way for the white house to comply -- leland: rule number one -- >> let me finish, let me just finish this. the judiciary committee is the logical place to have an impeachment process. nancy pelosi doesn't have confidence in the man from new york, jerry nadler, so she gave it to adam schiff. adam schiff on tv has lied so many times that she's now spreading it to three committees. how would a white house even know how to deal with what's coming from democrats? neil: adam schiff --lee adam

schiff got four pinocchios on friday. when the enemies are doing something stupid, you don't jump in their way when they're about to jump off a cliff. the president has rudy julianingny out there almost every day -- >> maybe donald trump is going to fix it all because he's a disruptive president who knows how to break up the swamp. rudy giuliani's not going to fix it, donald trump's going to fix it. >> maybe president trump is going to solve all of the corruption in the ukraine. >> no, he's not. >> you just said he was. you said i'm not going to do it, he's going to do it. >> why are you the president's personal attorney? what is your personal -- >> wow. >> what's your mission? >> to disrupt the world. my mission is to defend my client. leland: is that helpful or is that jumping in front of the democrats as they're about to jump off the cliff? >> i think what rudy giuliani's doing is to try to bring the

controversy to the central topic which was the obama administration reached out to ukrainian officials to restart an investigation on paul manafort in the beginning of 2016 which was inherently political as man a that fort was leadership -- manafort was leadership of donald trump's campaign. clearly, joe biden was trying to stop the investigation of this company -- [inaudible conversations] joe biden reached out to the ukraine -- let me just finish. no, no, we have evidence. the third thing now is they're saying donald trump is being political by intervening with the government of ukraine in a way that could help him politically. what about the obama reachout on the manafort investigation? leland: is the what about defense a defense though? >> no, no -- leland: [inaudible] >> it's all together. it's reaching out to the government of the ukraine by people in the white house is inappropriate because it's political, why isn't it wrong when the obama administration did it twice? and everyone says, no -- leland: and the president, the

president is sitting there asking for it to be investigated. so why is it then -- >> which is good. leland: okay. so when the president does it, it should be investigated as well. >> no, the president's asking for the investigation of what they did first -- leland: so the second time you asked for the investigation, it's okay. >> when your son sits on the board of this huge gas company and joe biden goes on basically national television to -- leland: [inaudible] >> to get that investigation of that company, are you literally sitting here, leland, and telling me hunter biden never talked to joe biden, joe biden had no -- leland: i'm not -- >> i think you're a pretty bright guy. i think -- leland: i think it was peter doocy who asked the question -- >> yeah, and he got quell -- yelled at by joe because there's something here that the american people know smells. and here's the way it works:

trump does something, everybody comes after him including in the media. joe biden does something, barack obama does something, what? i see nothing. leland: noteworthy that some of to 2020 candidates are even saying everyone should back off of joe biden -- >> why, because he's losing? leland: well, now the poll numbers are going down. they'll get to that with hillary vaughn in a couple of minutes. matt, good to see you. >> now for the democratic perspective, former obama campaign spokesperson and democratic strategist with zack friend. zack, thank you for joining us. i'm not sure if you were just listening to that exchange, but you heard matt schlapp say something here smells. what do you think to that? >> well, i think that matt was trying pretty hard to find something there to defend the president. look, the president's already admitted to a lot of this stuff. even if you were to believe everything matt just said and there was something not quite right in what the bidens did, it doesn't in any shape or form excuse the president of the

united states asking foreign entities to functionally intervene in our political processes. that is unquestionably something that the founders and everybody else didn't support. so i don't really see how that argument's going to hold a lot of water, but if that's the best they can do, congress this thiss going to 'em well for the president of the united states. >> just using the word if there was corruption at any point in time and that's what the president is trying to get to the bottom of right now, don't you think that the american people should know and want to know that, deserve to know that? >> yeah. i think that's a fair question. i also think there's no question there's been corruption within ukraine, there's no question that isn't what -- >> i'll specify -- [inaudible] >> i'm sorry? >> i'll specify with the bidens then. >> yeah. i mean, i think, look, as my parents always said, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. and my point, i think that you probably shouldn't be sitting on a board getting paid $50,000 a month in that situation and not

have something at least look askance especially with a company that doesn't quite look right. but to sit around and think that the president of the united states was actually looking for corruption in this case, look, nobody believes that. even the president of the united states doesn't actually believe that. and i just think that what we're dealing with here is that the he thought he was going to bring down a political rival, he really did. and it's possible, actually, that he has succeeded in damaging the vice president, but really what he's done is it's boomeranging back on him. every single day more stories come back, people are supporting impeachment, it's not ending well for the administration. >> let's listen to what the president has to say on why he's trying to get to the bottom of this this. >> everything, to me, is about corruption. we want to find out what happened with 2016, and as you know, there's a lot of work going on in that. i don't care about biden's campaign. but i do care about corruption. >> i mean, look, i guess if you get to the bottom of something like this regardless of what the outcome is, who it's going to end up helping, i think that's a

positive for the american people. and i guess at the end of the day, is there really a winner in this at this point in time because, look, no one's talking about anything else right now. the president's not going to be able to talk about what he wants to get done, and democrats -- specifically the candidates who are up for, you know, presidency in 2020, can't talk about the things that they want to focus on. >> oh, your 100% -- you are 100% correct. this damages not only the president's re-election prospects should he survive an impeachment, but i don't see how some of for democratic candidates, especially the second tier candidates, are able to breakthrough this oxygen. this will come date all the -- dominate all the media. for any of the candidates' messages, they're not going to be able to break through. i think there's going to be a plague on both your houses situation. the public is sick and tired of this sort of twitter world, these sort of fights back and forth, and i think it's not going to end well for the president or for vice president biden either in the sense that

people just don't want to have these stories out there like that. >> certainly time will tell. i want to get your opinion on whether or not there should be a vote in the house. take a listen to what lee zeldin had to say yesterday. >> we should have a vote in the house. if they want to have an impeachment inquiry, i don't believe we should, but if they want to have one, there should be a vote is, there should be minority rights, there should be subpoenas from both sides, the president should be represented by counsel. he should be able to present evidence. >> what do you think about that? should there be a vote? >> i mean, i think they're just arguing over processing. we all know how this ends. there's already the votes on the democratic side to do this. this will end in impeachment, will it end in removal from office? i don't have the same amount of confidence. >> [inaudible] >> that's right. i don't think it actually will, but if you want to have a vote and they're going to argue on the process side, i think that's a red herring. if you have a process that they think is fine, it's still going to be you're going to have the votes on the democratic side, there's going to be a vote for

impeachment on the democratic side, i think that's a foregone conclusion at this point. whether or not the american public which, by the way, a majority also support impeachment and also support removal, we'll have to see. >> there's a lot of information that's going to be coming out, that's for sure. zack friend, thank you for your time this morning, this afternoon. >> thank you. >> i'm used to saying good morning.

leland: we've heard from nancy pelosi in our reporting there that she's actually working pretty hard to try to get that done before impeachment and through so the president can't blame democrats for not passing it. but, matt, this brings up an interesting point about what the president's going to be talking about on the stump in minnesota. one has to imagine that he will bring up one of his favorite foils, and that is ilhan omar, the congresswoman from minnesota. how does that play with the suburban swing voters? only peol

communities i think that have got guaranteed jobs next year are going to be auction nears because unless we get -- leland: farm bankruptcies are up. >> -- better jobs reports with the farmers, that's where he's going to have to problem especially when you get out of the suburbs a little bit. leland: steve, i don't spend as much time in michigan as you do, but you're with right, there are a lot of help wanted signs. i saw a lot of sound coming off of the picket lines of people saying the president hasn't kept his word, i voted for him, i was with him, but now i'm not so sure anymore. >> i talk to people every day, leland. i've got to be honest with you, the fact of the matter is people in michigan are still with this president. he won by just under 11,000 votes in 2016, shocking the world. didn't shock me, we saw it coming -- [inaudible conversations] i'll tell you this, leland, he would with win by a wider margin today than he did in 2016. the economy is strong and even

farmers that i talk to, people say the soybean prices are down and the tariffs with china, they will still vote for president trump today because they believe it's worth it in the long run. >> if i can add one thing, i think one of the better things for trump would be -- this would benefit trump -- to keeping a churl secretary sonny per due out of the midwest. he came to farmfest in minnesota, called farmers a bunch of whiners. he was just in wisconsin earlier this week and said, oh, small dairy farms are going to have to go away. he's not helping trump in rural america. he needs to keep sonny purdue away from this area. >> he was just on the program with us here, and he was well received in michigan. minnesota is one of the states, his message is resonating well because the message from the left is they want to take a far-left turn. trust me, leland, on this: michigan, if they don't love donald trump, they love socialism a heck of a lot less.

♪ ♪ leland: all right. two people died in a vaping-related illnesses on friday. this time michigan and pennsylvania. >> we do not really know what is causing these serious and even life-threatening and even fatal lung injury cases to occur, and when i say" we," i don't just mean us at the pennsylvania department of health, but nationally including the cdc, the center for disease control and prevention. leland: all right. this brings the total number of vaping-related deaths in the country to 20 with two recent deaths earlier this week. 48 states have reported vaping-related ill a.n.s.w.e.r.es over the -- illnesses over the past month with the majority of cases involving patients 35 years or

younger. noteworthy that "the wall street journal"'s reporting the fda commissioner, they're trying to deal with this, has said the vast majority of people who have gotten sick from vaping was because they were using thc pods that were either bootleg or perhaps not made with the rigors that you would think of what you'd buy in a gas station or, you know, from a 7/eleven. >> it's still disturbing when you mention the victims are young, more than 85 president of them are -- 85% of them are under or 35 years to old. look, i think it took a long time, and people knew that cigarettes were dangerous, it took a long time to really get solid information on cigarettes, it's going to take a long time to get solid information on vaping, it's so new. and when you have a lot of young kids doing it, the lack of information is what's frightening a lot of people in this country, particularly parents. leland: on the other hand, you have 20 people who have died from vaping, tragic, more than

five times that die every year from falling off of ladders, so do we at talk about banning ladders because we don't know? >> it's a different conversation when it's something you're putting in your body and you don't know the health risks of it. leland: there is that. we will see where the studies go on vaping. seems we have new information almost every week, as you point out. still a lot to learn. there has been a lot of back and forth in the immediate. >> this week -- media this week over president trump and the growing impeachment inquiry, but why aren't some of the heavy hitters being pressed by journalists? fox news host howard kurtz explains. >> i call it the fake news now, corrupt news, because fake isn't tough enough. >> as president trump intensifies his impeachment defense, he's been escalating his rhetoric against the press and the democrats. >> the cnns of the world who are corrupt people. he's a hoe life. he should be force -- a low life. he should be forced to resign.

it's a hoax. >> some pundits are portraying the president as angry is and unhinged. >> we're witnessing a presidential meltdown. >> from public meltdowns, swearing, lying, unfound accusations -- >> others say his passionate pushback is justified. >> he's pissed, and why the hell not? the media spent 36 months creating a hurricane of hysteria. >> now the media are in wall to wall scandal mode after the president publicly urged ukraine and china to investigate joe biden and his son, and new texts showing u.s. diplomats pressing the ukraine for a public promise of a probe. but there are sharp contrasts. many journalists branded secretary of state mike pompeo a liar when he ducked a question about trump's talk with ukraine's leader. >> you just gave me a report about -- one of what you have seen. >> but later admitted he was on

the call. yet it drew little attention when congressman adam schiff lied to msnbc about his staff's earlier contact with the whistleblower, though "the washington post" gave him four pinocchios. >> he expressed regret for not having been more clear in his wording. >> schiff called sam stein and tweeted if you care more about this stuff than the actual substance, then you're being a hack. the president, in a rare move, praised the paper that broke the schiff story. >> i hate to say it's "the new york times," i can't believe they wrote it. a lot of respect for putting it out. >> the news cycle seems stuck on hyperspeed, hour after hour of scoops competing with presidential attacks. but these subproperty plots disturb subplots are making the damage harder to follow which could damage the desire for a clear cut narrative. leland: mead ya buz, 11 a.m. tomorrow. howie will have, there he is, president trump's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, on to

last night the heads of three house committees oversight intelligence issued a subpoena for documents, the white house has refused to turn over after several requests. in a letter to acting white house chief of staff, the democratic lawmakers warned failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the house's impeachment inquiry and may be used as an adverse inference against you and the president. the committee also requested documents from vice president mike pence regarding reports that he was involved in efforts to pressure ukraine to investigate the bidens. on friday, secretary of state pompeo missed a deadline to comply with a separate subpoena for documents related to his department's interactions with ukraine and president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani. and today, democrats said they will go to court for these documents if they need to. >> we are so focused and serious about this investigation because this -- the documents and the

information that we have shows that he used the security and the international relationships that we are required to have for the security of our country as a bargaining chip for his own personal gain. that is not acceptable. and so the subpoenas will continue to go out. >> the president allies in congress continue to argue he did nothing wrong by asking ukraine's president to investigate the bidens and it was not an abuse of power. >> clearly it didn't happen here, what you have is the president and attorney general barr working around the world to try to figure out why there was a corrupt russia investigation that tore our country apart for two years that didn't result in any evidence of a criminal conspiracy. >> we are likely going to see the standoff on repeat a lot over the next few weeks because top democrats say they plan to continue issuing subpoenas, without holding a formal vote for an impeachment inquiry, meaning the white house is going to stay its ground and not

respond. leland: we have already seen secretary of state not comply with at lot the requests. one of the important part of having a vote or not is the courts treat subpoenas after the inquiry vote very different than they would at the current time. jillian: for how the president is reacting to all of this. let's go ellison barber joining us live. >> on the south lawn yesterday president trump told reporters whether or not he cooperates with the house's investigation is up to the lawyers. sources tell fox news that the president is planning to send a letter to house speaker pelosi next week, likely on monday telling her the white house will not hand over any documents until a full house vote is held on the impeachment inquiry. the subpoena democrats sent to the white house yesterday seems to address that possibility. it says that a vote is not necessary to conduct the investigation and that that sort of demand is outside of modern precedent. president trump has repeatedly disparaged the inquiry and

claims that his desire to press ukraine, those controversial points that he made in his phone calls, he says that none of it was about politics. >> i don't care about biden's campaign, but i do care about corruption. what i want to do and i think i have an obligation to do and probably a duty to do it, corruption. we are looking for corruption. and i believe there was tremendous corruption with bide ben. >> all of this as the president prepares to make substantial cuts to his national security team. the whistle-blower complaint mentioned the national security council but bloomberg news says two of its five sources say the decision to reduce staff is largely related efficiency and new leadership. there is after all a new national security advisor. jillian? jillian: ellison barber live for us, thank you. leland: take a step back for a second. benson summed up this week by

calling it a long month. if you perhaps had a few other things to do, then enjoy the hour by hour developments of the ukraine inquiry. we will take you back. here you go >> we see the action of this president be an assault on the constitution, once we had his even admission to that, we had no choice but to go forward. >> monday the house intelligence committee delivered a subpoena to the president's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani who had been investigating joe biden and his son's activities in ukraine. testimony began thursday with former ambassador volker point of contact between giuliani and the ukrainian government as the president insisted democrats are on the ones on a political witch hunt >> they are the do nothing democrats. they don't do any work. all they want to do is try to win the election in 2020. >> fox news obtained volker's opening testimony, quote new ukrainian leadership -- [inaudible] -- the times have

changed and under president zelenskiy is worthy of u.s. president. >> [inaudible]. >> schiff's statements and the possibility of impeachment didn't stop the president from making a new request of another foreign government. >> china should start an investigation into the bidens. >> he also reaffirmed his original ask to the ukrainian president that started this impeachment inquiry last week. >> president zelenskiy if it were me i would recommend that they start an investigation into the bidens because nobody has any doubt that they weren't crooked. >> friday the intelligence community inspector general was the second to testify. congressional sources tell fox atkinson says the whistle-blower stuck to the rules and the anonymous official isn't the story. the story he says is that phone call and text messages u.s.

officials exchanged with the ukrainians. leland: for his claim that there was no contact between the whistle-blower and his intelligence committee, pre-complaint, chairman adam schiff garnered the dubious four pinocchios from the washington post. now you are caught up on the long week, we bring in the gentleman from pennsylvania representing coal country. good to see you sir as always. you are on the judiciary committee which is where the impeachments of both president clinton and president nixon happened, you feel like you're missing out because the intelligence committee gets it? >> i really do feel like i'm missing out. and you are right, every other time we have had impeachment, it's gone to judiciary. so why are we not having this in judiciary now? i would like to know. leland: give us your ideas. i'm sure you have talked about this. >> i have a really good idea. i think that nancy pelosi knows that chairman nadler is totally

outgunned by doug collins who is the ranking member on judiciary. he's completely being outmaneuvered by collins. the democrats are being outperformed on that committee by the republicans and pelosi knows if she wants to ram through impeachment, she can't rely on chairman nadler, so she's sending to it the intel committee. that's my opinion. leland: is she really trying to ram this through? she's not holding a vote, saying we're going to open this inquiry. it certainly feels at least when we have talked to on the democratic side like she's got the votes. do you view this as a preordained outcome, or do you take democrats at their words that this is a good faith investigation? >> this is a total determined outcome. you have to remember that nancy pelosi -- leland: you're pretty sure the president is going to get impeach. you don't think that's a question >> i don't think nancy pelosi can stop this train from barrelling down the tracks. you have to remember pelosi isn't the one in charge of the democrat party right now. it is aoc and the radical

leftist democrats that are calling the shots. they are the real powerbrokers and they want impeachment. but if you look back in time, nancy pelosi on three separate times called for a vote to start an impeachment inquiry. all three times have failed. so she's circumventing precedent, and she's going full steam ahead without taking another vote on impeachment inquiry. that's a problem. leland: all right. let me get your thoughts on this, as we look to sort of what the president's defense is, which is, look, the reason i made these phone calls to ukraine, etc., was because of joe biden and the activities that he engaged in while vice president. this, however, is what tucker carlson and neil patel wrote in the daily column donald trump should not have been on the phone with a foreign head of state encouraging another country to investigate his political opponent joe biden. some republicans are trying, but there is no way to spin this as a good idea. it brings up an important point. understanding as you just laid out that democrats are going to

stop at nothing before they impeach the president, is it harder for you guys as republicans in congress to oppose it when the president makes the call to ukraine, then goes out on the south lawn and talks about china, needing to investigate joe biden as well? is it tougher for you guys? >> no, absolutely not. this is what a president should be doing. a president should investigate corruption. and if -- leland: hold on, stop, if you want to talk about corruption, this is a president who has cozied up to egypt who has a dubious record on corruption, the philippines, to one thinks he's a saint exactly either and putin who runs russia as his own private bank. how is this about corruption? >> it's about the fact that joe biden's son, hunter biden was being paid $50,000 a month, not $50,000 a year, $50,000 a month by an oil and gas company in ukraine and he knew nothing about oil and gas. leland: come on, congressman,

you think this is really the president who has all these foreign leaders that he's cozied up who are as corrupt as a mafia boss is and he's suddenly worried about corruption, and there's no political calculus on this by the president, come on. >> all i know, i don't get paid $50,000 a month. my dad wasn't a vice president. leland: do you think if your dad was vice president, do you think that might have changed? >> the fact is that joe biden was putting pressure on the ukrainians to fire this prosecutor. he was caught on tape bragging about getting the ukrainian prosecutor -- leland: congressman, you know as well as i do, that the eu among others wanted this guy fired. he was a holdover from the last government that was beyond corrupt. i was there in the ukraine during all of that. come on, both things can be true; right? it can be true that at the same time, that it looks really bad for joe biden to have his son getting the $50,000 a month

contract, it can also be true that he didn't put his hand on the scale. we don't know that yet. >> we do know that joe biden was caught on tape bragging about getting this ukrainian prosecutor fired, though. and this is a prosecutor that was investigating the oil and gas company that was paying hunter biden who knew nothing about oil and gas, $50,000 a month. that should be investigated. there's a lot of red flags -- leland: hold on, congressman. if it should be investigated, really, it should be investigated by the ukrainians who everyone believes has their own issues with corruption? or should it be investigated by the fbi? the president has a justice department. why ask the ukrainians to do it when he could pick up the phone and call bill barr or have republicans in congress look into it? >> you need cooperation with the actual country involved. leland: that's not what he asked for, though. on the phone he didn't say look, bill barr is going to be calling you and i want cooperation in an fbi investigation. that's not what he asked for. he asked them to investigate. >> right, look, at the end of the day, someone needs to ask

questions why hunter biden was being paid that amount of money when he had zero exmeerngs in the industry. -- zero experience in the industry. you have to remember again joe biden was caught on tape bragging about getting this prosecutor fire. there are a lot of questions around that. someone needs to look into it. i applaud the president for doing it. leland: we certainly know joe biden's response when people asked him that question a couple of days ago. we will play that at some point in the show. congressman, we appreciate it. good to see you. you are welcome back any time. >> thank s -- thanks for having me on. jillian: an executive order extending private sector medicare and drawing a difference between his political opponent's proposals. >> whether single payer, public option, they are all based on the totally same terrible idea. they want to raid medicare to fund a thing called socialism. every one of these plans involves rationing care,

restricting access, denying coverage, slashing quality and massively raising taxes. jillian: the president saying his plan will offer seniors access to more innovate i and -- innovative and affordable health care coverage options. here to break it down for is healthcare reporter if the washington examiner, who got the memo to dress in your finest fall colors today. leland says why go to a pumpkin patch when you can bring it here on tv? thanks for joining me on that. >> we need some apple cider now. jillian: now to more things. let's talk about what this do for seniors. break t down. >> this is what's known as medicare advantage it is run by private insurance companies, allowing those plans to offer more than they do now, nutrition services, rides to doctor offices, the ability to use your computer or your ipad to talk directly with your doctor. he's going to also allow

medicare to pay for some of the newest treatments and technologies that are out there for medicine. and he's really aiming to draw a contrast between himself and far left democrats who are are endorsing medicare for all and also change the subject from the fact that his administration is fighting obama care. jillian: i mean you talk about obama care, joe biden specifically we know his plan is to build on obama care with the public option. he knows some people aren't going to like that. elizabeth warren obviously supports medicare for all. let's take a look at the polls and the issues that are important to voters. that's what it comes down to. the most important issue facing the country right now this is according to voters immigration at the top followed by gun violence followed by healthcare. it is the third on the list. you can see it right there, not too far off from gun violence. if you look another poll we have, the deal breaker issue, when deciding your vote, this is what's interesting, i want to get your take on this. you see healthcare at the top there of the other two. >> that's right. well, there are a lot of different things going on right

now within the democratic party as you mentioned. you have joe biden who is really arguing for boosting the affordable care act and obama care having a public option. and then those on the far left part of the party that want to enroll everyone into a government plan in what's known as medicare for all. jillian: what do you say to the people out there i don't want medicare for all to be my only option? i want options. i work for this. >> a lot of people do say that. those who argue for medicare for all is saying that private health insurance isn't doing everything they should be doing. they note the cost of health insurance even if it is something you are getting from a job is going up. you are not getting everything that you want necessarily from your health insurance. so there is that debate. there is still that sense i think from democrats that they need to make the case that this is where the country should go. jillian: what else do you think about the president's plan? what don't we know and do we know right now? >> we do know he is focusing on medicare advantage and when people go to shop for their plans, they have the choice

between their traditional medicare which is run by the government and medicare advantage which is run by the private plans. and when people are shopping, they are going to notice some additional benefits this year, but they also have to think about the fact that these private plans will narrow which hospitals and doctors they can visit. so they really have to do that calculus in shopping around and seeing what they think is best for them. jillian: it can be very overwhelming for a lot of people sometimes. you know, bernie sanders obviously in the news a lot this week with his medical situation that he had going on. he had stents put in arteries. he used that as an opportunity to tout his medicare for all. >> that's right. he said he got great healthcare service. he thought everyone should have the opportunity to do that. the campaign -- it wasn't until last night that they admitted that sanders had had a heart attack. one thing to keep in mind in this campaign is that a lot of the candidates who are surging in the polls are above the age of 70, and so voters will have to think about, you know whether they want to vote for an older candidate who might have more wisdom and experience but

someone who is a little younger with new ideas to offer. jillian: thank you for breaking this douchbl -- down, a big topic of discussion. we appreciate it. leland: jackie is in new york city looking into an event that happened overnight that shut down the neighborhood. jackie? >> we're going to tell you what happened overnight that shut down this neighborhood. movies? no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on our car insurance with geico. i got snacks! ohhh, i got popcorn, i got caramel corn, i got kettle corn. am i chewing too loud? believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

could another come aroundot, the corner.

or could it play out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98% of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planed medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be your moment. ask your doctor about eliquis.

jillian: good saturday to you. welcome back. a judge sentencing a fifth parent in the college admissions scandal and it is the stiffest one yet. former california wine businessman receiving a sentence of five months in prison for conspiring to inflate the sat score of one of his daughters and securing her admission to the university of southern california as a water polo recruit, a sport she didn't actually play competitively. he pled guilty this past may in boston federal court to fraud, conspiracy in the college admissions bribery scandal. his sentence also includes two years supervised release, 500 hours of community service, and $100,000 fine. felicity huffman was sentenced last month to 14 days in prison and laurie laughlin is facing up to 40 years in prison if

convicted of the charge she's expected to face trial in 2020. leland: we see how this goes. what's noteworthy is how these sentences are different, based on how much money was involved, also based on how much the kids were involved. did you photo shop your kids' photos, etc.? there's some question of the lawyers for some of those who haven't pled guilty which is maybe we can beat this. jillian: i'm curious to see what happened with laughlin and her husband considered they haven't pled guilty, others pleading guilty with perhaps lesser sentences. that will be the big one. leland: the lawyers are now asking universities for all of their conversations about donors and their kids getting admitted. so the argument is well just because they found a cheaper way to get in, doesn't necessarily make it illegal. stay tuned. we are learning more about an overnight murder spree in new york city. four people are dead and the fifth is fighting for his life. jackie heinrich live in chinatown as the investigation

continues behind her. jackie? >> hi, leland. police spread all across the area this morning looking for more potential victims and also witnesses. the only surviving victim is in critical condition this morning so police have really not had a chance to talk with that man and get a handle on exactly how all of this happened. all of the victims were sleeping when they were attacked. someone called 911 around 2:00 a.m. to report a man being aassaulted, when police got there, they found one man unconscious, his head beaten another badly injured. the second was able to describe the suspect description saying they saw him wearing all black. the police found the suspect a man carrying a pipe from nearby a construction area which police believe is the murder weapon. they took the man into custody. they found three more victims all homeless men beat ton death. -- beaten to the death. police assuring the community it

doesn't appear to be ongoing threat. homeless on homeless crime. >> the suspect right now is undomicile also. we're looking at that. it seems to be random attacks, no one targeted by race, age, anything of that nature. >> police say four of the five men who were beaten died of their injuries on the street. the fifth is still in the hospital and may not make it. police won't confirm their identities yet. more than 63,000 people are homeless in new york city and about 4,000 sleep on the streets every night. leland? leland: jackie, thank you very much. jillian? jillian: we are remembering the life and legacy of entertainer diane carroll who died in her home after a long bought with cancer friday. -- long bout with cancer on friday. she was the first african-american tony winner in her leading role in the musical no strings. that led to the ground breaking

campaign trail. sanders was discharged yesterday evening and says he is ready to get back to work, but while he was recovering, he missed an opportunity here to woo a key union that did not endorse him the last time he ran for president because in 2016, the sciu endorsed his opponent, hilary clinton, and in 2012, they endorsed his other opponent joe biden and barack obama for president. biden told the room yesterday that just because the unions backed him before, he is not expecting -- or is not entitled to an endorsement this time around. during his california swing, biden attended a high dollar fund raiser in palo alto california where he bragged about getting support from black voters, telling the room this, quote, all kidding aside, i have always been able to do very very well in ethnic communities and i say something outrageous, but it is true, where i come from, the most loyal constituency i have had is the african-american community, and yesterday biden

got the chance to answer a question about racism from an african-american voter in the room. >> now, i want to understand how you think and how you understand that racism and the economy are connected. >> anybody from delaware here? well, let me tell you something, what you don't know about delaware is we have the eighth largest black population in america, the eight largest black population in america, the eighth largest black population in america, almost 20%. i come out of the civil rights movement. >> we just heard from former congressman beto o'rourke who took the stage. he spent a lot of his time actually speaking spanish in response to a few questions he faced about immigration, and i just got a chance to talk to senator amy klobuchar who spoke to the press before taking the stage about her colleague senator sanders' heart attack. i asked her if health should be a concern to voters.

and she told me she thinks bernie is healthy. she's excited to see him back on the trail and she said when she saw the video of him leaving the hospital, he looked very energetic. leland? leland: real quick as you are talking to the other candidates, how many of them are trying to capitalize on joe biden's shall we say rough couple of weeks? >> what's interesting, leland, is none of them are trying to capitalize it. none of them are even focusing on that. i asked several of them about the ukraine controversy, and they said the focus should not be on biden. kamala harris said leave biden alone. castro told me this is just an effort to muddle his reputation. they want the focus to be on president trump. leland? leland: interesting, all right, hillary, great reporting, we appreciate it. thank you very much. we will check in with you the rest of the weekend. jillian: for more on this we bring in our political panel, president of 2008 obama campaign spokesperson and media consultant for democratic

presidential hopeful tom steyer, democrat strategist kevin kate and republican strategist former political director for the republican party of texas and current political advisor to george bush, thank you both for joining us. kevin, i will start with you. who has the most work to do right now? >> i think everybody has a lot of work to do. i mean, you have 75 to 80 to 90 percent of democratic primary voters and caucus voters who haven't totally committed to one candidate or the other. i think what you see a lot of times at this point in the race, stars are indifferent to astrology not only do you have people trying to study the race right now -- astronomy all the different approaches to looking at the race when what candidates really need to be doing is focusing on why they are running for president. nobody should be running for president based on what one poll or another poll is saying. day-to-day you should be running

for president because you want to and have a message to get out. tom steyer's first campaign debate appearance will happen this month. i think a lot of the candidates have a lot to prove and voters are willing to listen. jillian: a lot of people argue that biden has a lot of work to do considering as leland just mentioned the last few weeks have been pretty tough for him. a lot of the focus has been shifted away from the campaign trail. in some of fols recently warren -- in some of the polls recently warren has been leading biden. >> the candidate with most experience usually gets in and with biden he jumped up to over 25% and that's slowly waned and slow down. the candidate to look at is warren, this is kind of her big moment in the presidential election. it will be interesting to see if she can close the points gaps and use the up coming october 15 debate to actually maybe

possibly jump ahead of joe biden. i think as we look across the next few weeks, i don't think it is going to get any easier for joe biden, and i think a lot of people will be looking at her to see if she actually has what it takes to jump up and be the number one candidate in the democratic primary. jillian: let's take a look at some of the fund-raising numbers, top seven democrats. you can see sanders way up top followed though pretty closely by elizabeth warren. you have pete buttigieg coming in third and joe biden in fourth. kevin, what do you say about the the numbers you are seeing on the screen right now? >> i think it is important. look at the number of donors to each campaign. i think it is important to look at. in the grand scheme of things when you are talking about the national campaign, i worked for someone who got outspent and still won our primary in florida. money is not everything. your message is important and what you are doing on the ground is important. certainly tom steyer has the resources to compete on his own, but when you are looking at the dynamics of this race, fund-raising is one element of

it. but you really want to look at the core message and what's happening in a national narrative. it is a parade, and it is a moving parade and see which candidate can capitalize on that as we lead into the caucuses. jillian: you have to look at the messaging, right now, unfortunately, it seems on both sides, the messaging is kind of lost right now because the conversation is completely about what's going on at the white house right now, so it seems like messaging at this point is at a stand still. what do you say about that? >> i think that's the biggest problem for the candidates in the democratic primary is president trump and, you know, nancy pelosi and congress are taking up all the media time. so every dollar that pours into one of these campaigns is vital. i mean, you know, it's always been known, money is the bread and butter of politics. i think almost more in this race because every dollar spent has

to be earning at name id, earning visibility, and being able to get their message out to voters because there's just not enough air time left to cover this race, like there was, for example, in 2015 when the republicans and the heavy republican primary field was going through, that media was focused on them. right now it is really focused primarily on the president. jillian: we have about 30 seconds left. i want to get a quick reaction from both of you on these numbers president trump versus the top three democrats in their fund-raising numbers. you will take a notice on your screen right here, president trump with 125 million followed by sanders with 25.3 and warren with 24.6. kevin first? >> i mean, i think the reality is all of the democrats are working in the second-hand smoke of what donald trump is doing. i think that's a valid point to make. he is kind of like the megaphone in the room so you do have to react to that. these resources are extraordinary for any kind of campaign, certainly, this campaign is going to be different, but those are extraordinary resources, and that's why democrats should stay

focused on what we are doing which is having a clear vision of where we're going to take the country and not just condemning all the terrible things that donald trump does. jillian: big difference in those numbers you just saw. >> absolutely. i mean look american voters are voting with their pocketbooks. a dollar into a campaign is typically a vote at the ballot box. i think that's a good sign for the president. i mean it is unprecedented haul, and i don't think it's going to stop any time soon. jillian: thank you for joining us on this saturday. >> thank you. leland: some of president trump's 2020 pitch for reelection centers around the economy. he talked about it last night. this data, u.s. unemployment rate the lowest in 50 years. september jobs report shows the unemployment rate is down to 3.5% and the economy added 136,000 jobs in september. all right. what does that mean? we bring in kristina partsinevelos of fbn. good to see you. thanks for being here on a saturday. fbn anchor working on a

saturday, that's never happens. >> i would like to point out too that we are now fox business. we had a refresh this week so we're officially fox business encouraging people to watch the channel during the week of course not over your show. leland: thank you. >> the numbers we keep chugging along, jobs added 136,000 for september. a lot of resilience for the labor market. when we talk about just what we're expecting over the last little while, strength. the numbers a little bit lower than what economists are expecting at 140,000, but if we look at the graph -- and we have one just coming up -- under president trump, the strength, the number of jobs that have been added over the past several years. you can see them still climbing higher. most of the new jobs this past september came in the service sector, like education, healthcare providers. it was the retail sector that was hit the hardest. lost about 11,000 jobs there. think about some of the stores that keep closing. the bankruptcies that are happening. and you mentioned the unemployment number. look at that number, down to 3.5%. we haven't seen the unemployment

rate this low in 50 years. so a lot of strength across the market right now, in the united states. and this is something really good for us over here, despite the slowdown that's happening overseas. so some of the take aways from this report, you are seeing unemployment low. you are seeing jobs numbers continuing to grow at a slower pace. the concerning part is wage growth. in september, wages didn't really grow. that's something that we want to see, but as a whole, this is good news because the u.s. consumer is still strong, and u.s. consumers contribute about 70% to gdp. that's a good thing when americans keep buying, and overall, the markets reacted very positively on friday. you saw them end up in the green. the dow up over 372 points. and you're seeing it on your screen right there. the s&p 500 up over 40 points. so some strength with this jobs report. there's still some concerns, though. leland: still a rough week, and those concerns are not if a recession is going to happen because we know it will unless

the laws of economics have been repealed but when. so the slowdown numbers, what do they say about the when? >> it's so good you asked when; right, then i would be really rich and probably not working because i could guess what the markets would do and guess what the economy is doing. like you said, if you look at the textbooks in business school, you would think by now we would be hitting a slowdown. that's often what we're talking about. talking about the economic cycle. we have seen so much strength for so long that it's only normal that we're starting to see a slowdown. however, some of the indicators right now that could be affecting the united states is this continuous trade war with china and now europe because the united states can add tariffs on 7.5 billion dollars of european goods, so expect maybe the prices of whiskey to go up, the prices of parmesan cheese to go up, etc. and then you are starting to see a slowdown in across the globe china, but especially in europe. we have a lot of international companies that do business with europe. so we can't act in our own little eco -- and you have

businesses that do business with europe. that's going to affect the economy here. the bond market, the inversion of the yield, there's some concerns, but there's still strength in the united states. the big question is, when and if this recession will come, so far we are showing resilience. leland: all right. then we watch as the chinese delegation heads over to the united states for talks coming up. >> correct. leland: kristina and her friend at fox business will be covering it all. we will be right back. >> thank you.

leland: pope francis preaching compassion today at the vatican as he added 13 new cardinals to the catholic church. he has now named more than half of the top churchmen eligible to vote in a coming conclave. jillian: meanwhile, here in the

u.s., following a year-long review, an independent investigator had found that the roman catholic archdiocese in new york is meeting its obligations, it is part of an on going effort of reform. chief religion correspondent lauren green has more. >> i feel very relieved and very grateful. >> new york's arch bishop holding a press conference with judge jones to announce the result of her year-long review of how the archdiocese is complying with clergy sex abuse claims and prevention. >> there are certainly a commit inspect the arch diocese throughout this archdiocese and its leadership to maintain a safe environment for children. >> her report found the archdiocese follows a strict protocol when a complaint is received. no priest or deacon with a substantiated complaint is currently in ministry and the archdiocese is taking steps to support victims of abuse. the survivors network of those

abused by priests tells fox it is happy the judge is confident in her assessment but adds while this report is ostensibly an attempt at transparency it really feels like another move by officials to handle allegations of abuse in house. the independent review launched a year ago after what dolan called the summer of hell starting with the pennsylvania attorney general's report that 300 priests had abused a thousand victims over 70 year period. that sparked a tide of investigations worldwide, culminating in the pope holding an unprecedented meeting with leading bishops in rome last february. the announcement also comes weeks after new york state's child victim's act opened a one-year window for people who say they were victims of abuse as children, to file suits. no statute of limitations. according to a "wall street journal" report, more than 700 suits have been filed, with a majority against the catholic church. in the past three years, the archdiocese has awarded 67

million dollars in compensation to victims. the child victims act could cost it even more >> the child victim's act is just clicking in, and we're unaware of the financial impact that's going to have upon the archdiocese. >> the judge will continue to review the archdiocese handling of clergy sexual abuse complaints and response to victims. but it now moves to ensure the safety of children. in new york, lauren green, fox news. leland: authorities have just lifted a curfew in baghdad after days-long protests. what this means for american troops in iraq, when we come back.

jillian: welcome back. the death toll rises to 72 in iraq after days of protests fuelled by rage over poor living standards and alleged corruption. our kitty logan has the latest from our london bureau. kitty? >> hi, jillian. it is understood that people have been killed in clashes which started up when crowds again gather when a curb few was lifted -- cur few was lifted.

that curfew had been in for several days. security forces have blocked off the areas where the protests happened in recent days. they've also arrested hundreds of people in the demonstrations. now, this spontaneous protest movement started last tuesday. it has grown increasingly violent. demonstrators are angry as you say about unemployment, about lack of public services and government corruption. this all started up in central baghdad but quickly spread to other cities such as nasiriyah where the demonstrations also turned violent. witnesses say in many places police snipers also fired on protesters. that occur according to reports in central baghdad on friday. 22 people were killed there alone, according to those local reports. but iraqi security forces claim protesters were also armed and several of their officers were killed in exchanges of fire. angry crowds have also been seen burning down government

buildings, in several cities as well. police in all areas have been used tear gas and water canisters to try to bring crowds under control. and authorities have now blocked the internet in an effort to contain this protest movement. now, some human rights groups are estimating that the death toll in this protest may even be higher. that is not independently confirmed. but hospitals are full with hundreds of people injured in these clashes. again, some are claiming those numbers could even run into the thousands. to also not confirmed. but for sure, this is the most serious unrest in recent years, and so far the government has not been able to respond to some of these demands from the protesters. we do understand that some iraqi officials are speaking informally with leaders from that protest movement. back to you, jillian. jillian: kitty logan live in london as the sun is setting there. thank you. leland: just in time for halloween, a ghost ship magically appearing every day on the delaware river.
