most notably the house democrats launched the impeachment inquiry over allegations that he pressured ukraine on a phone call to investigate joe biden and his son hunter. joe biden who has refrain from calling for the president's removal changed his tune yesterday. >> donald trump has violated his oath of office, betrayed this nation and committed impeachable acts. to preserve our constitution, our democracy, our basic integrity, he should be impeached. >> the president who says he may cooperate with the inquiry if nancy pelosi brings it for a full vote was quick to respond to biden. >> you didn't say that until right now when he sees what is happening to him. is now lots of the front runner. he has been caught red handed. this is a man who is on tape saying exactly what he's going to do in terms of corruption and gets away with it. >> the washington post this morning is reporting the former

>> donald trump has violated his oath of office, betrayed this nation. to preserve our constitution, our democracy, our basic integrity he should be impeached. >> for the first time joe biden joining his fellow democrats calling for the impeachment of donald trump but what impact if

any could this have on his campaign? here with reaction is liz harrington, thank you for joining us, appreciate having you on with us so early. why do you think the change with joe biden? why is he doing this now? this benefit him or is this a move further to the extreme left and will it hurt him? >> this is what we've seen throughout this campaign, joe biden despite being in the swamp for half a century has thrown out all of his core beliefs and completely caved to the radical left. what happened to beating donald trump on the merits. what happened to him being the most electable? now thoroughly joe biden thinks he has to try to damage donald trump politically going into an election because he can in fact beat him. what is the crime here is what i would like to know? we never mention from the democrats what the actual

wrongdoing was and for joe biden he wants to divert attention from the actual wrongdoing which was his and his son's corrupt dealings in ukraine. >> dropping as well in the polls, elizabeth warren moving ahead of him. here's what the president had to say about joe biden. >> biden is dropping like a rock. i don't think he's going to make it, i didn't think he was going to make it for a long time and i guess this is one way you can do it. he didn't say it until right now and he sees what is happening to him, no longer the front runner. >> another example of donald trump taking a lot of questions and being willing to answer just about anything but not really the case with joe biden. >> remarkable to see joe biden with the teleprompter, delivers his speech, highly scripted from paid consultants and you see donald trump taking questions from reporters for 30 minutes yesterday at the white house and joe biden runs away from reporters because he can't answer a single question about how it was such a conflict of

interest to have his son sitting on the most corrupt foreign company in ukraine when he had no experience, making $50,000 at least per month and joe biden is on tape saying we are going to withhold $1 million unless you fire the prosecutor looking into my son who has no experience sitting on this board. that is corruption and that is what we voted against in 2016 and that is why we are going to vote against it again in 2020. election interference, joe biden never made it out of iowa before and he's not going to make it out of iowa again. >> interesting to see if he can continue tonight answer questions on ukraine and china. let's talk about planned parenthood, they announced they are spending $45 million to fund pro-abortion candidates to flip the senate concentrating on several states they think they can win.

>> i think this is indicative of what we have seen over the last few years, democrats have become so extreme on abortion, completely bought off by planned parenthood and dependence on big money in politics. we've seen that, the house democrats have been unable to vote against infanticide and to vote for protections for babies born and survive abortions and democrats refuse to give them a vote, give them a voice and we've seen it throughout this 2020 campaign. the party has moved so far to the left, planned parenthood can spend as much as they want but it is not were the country is on the abortion issue. heather: they say our very rights and freedoms will be on the ballot, already we've seen trump and his buddies in congress and state legislatures do everything they can to strip us of our rights and access to healthcare. who we elect will determine our

access to birth control, cancer screenings, 6 education, abortion access and more. always trying to link planned parenthood to some other things they say they emphasize more. >> we are very proud of the pro-life administration donald trump has put in place, the most pro-life in history, protecting the unborn. it couldn't be further from the truth talking about taking away access to healthcare. what the administration has done is prevented taxpayer-funded abortion from happening and that is a bipartisan issue. what people who are pro-life and pro-choice agree on. we don't want taxpayer funding towards abortion. every single democrat candidate has an extreme line. shannon: thank you so much. the time now is 19 minutes after the top of the hour. the stars calling out ellen

degeneres for defending this moment she shared with former president bush. you heard it right, joe biden says there were no scandals in eight years when president obama was in office. carly shimkus with social media reaction to the former vp's comments. devices are like doorways

i'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs i have. we are all different and we have forgotten that is okay that we are all different. shannon: carly shimkus with how hollywood is divided. >> the speech about unity is causing a divide in hollywood and several celebrities of come out against this saying the former president accusing him of committing war crimes, being anti-gay, one of those people is susan sarandon who tweeted a quote from out magazine saying missing the point entirely, she framed the issue is simply a matter of her hanging out with someone with different opinions, not a man repeatedly accused of being a war criminal. reese witherspoon praised her saying thank you for this important reminder but then she deleted that tweet apparently because of social media backlash. who knew that saying you could reach across the aisle and be friends with somebody you don't agree with would be so controversial. >> the pressure and social media

mob. >> people are so scared to say anything wrong and have a conversation. let's talk about joe biden and something he had to say, proudest accomplishment when he was having no scandals. >> no scandals for eight years. >> biden has said that a number of times on the campaign trail. let's see what social media says. what happens when the fake news media can no longer control the narrative, we start learning the truth, bill says when you have the fbi and the cia covering them up it stands to reason fewer would see the light of day, big accusation there. dennis says if you like subpoena, a lot ofs and getting caught in ukraine i'm sure democrats would say you could say the same about donald trump,

still no evidence hunter biden did anything wrong but republicans have a lot of questions. >> there were several different scandals and all kinds of things. the time is 26 minutes after the top of the hour. rallying his base in minnesota tonight and in louisiana tomorrow donald trump stumping for congressman ralph abraham who is running for governor and the congressman says he is thrilled. he is joining us live up next. - [narrator] do you have less energy than you used to?

ticket hoping to out john bell edwards and he joins me with more. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. your response to donald trump headed to louisiana, significant for you and your relationship with the president. >> i've got a great relationship with the president. i stood in the trenches with him, side-by-side on important bills that we have actually gotten past in the house of representatives. i couldn't be happier than his coming to louisiana because we all know when donald trump comes the base gets energized. >> tell us about your platforms, some of the elements. >> a democratic governor is destroying the state, we have the worst economy in the nation, one of the highest murder rate in the nation. we are 50th out of 50 in everything that we should be in at least the top-tier, highest insurance rates in the nation and it goes on and on. we are better than this.

we are louisiana. we have natural resources that are not being used effectively. >> you are pro-second amendment, pro-life we were just discussing some of that in terms of what planned parenthood is doing in some states, you want to lower taxes and you were discussing being tough on crime. >> exactly right. we have criminal justice reform that is literally letting violent criminals out of jails and we had murders, rapes, assaults and that has to stop. public safety should be the primary role of government and john bell edwards is giving that up. >> talk about the new resolution you have introduced to expel nancy pelosi from the house. tell us about that, and except from the resolution people can read as well.

nancy pelosi's vicious -- weapon ice for a party's political gain so you introduce this resolution. >> it is, she is abusing her power. this is a political stunt that she is using to try to unseat a lawfully elected president with this impeachment inquiry. we should be doing things for the common good of the nation and she's not allowing that to happen so she needs to go home. shannon: do you think this resolution will benefit you in the election? >> i don't know. we looked at this when the house started the inquiry 2 or 3 weeks ago. it is not about the election. it's about doing the right thing for the country and she is abusing her power as speaker of the house and it is just not right. >> interesting when you move outside of dc, some of the areas where you hear what you might

call the loudest voices and get down to states like louisiana and speak with your constituents and you are hearing a different take on it. >> absolutely. we understand the president's role as far as running the nation, running the world literally is a heavy burden and when you have these insane inquiries just deterring and detracting from what he or she should be doing, to protect us as american citizens is just crazy that we allow this to go on and i want to stop it. shannon: and keeping work from getting done which will help people living in america, trying to make ends meet as you were just talking about. >> absolutely. go ahead. i just wish you would bring something like the us, mexico, canada agreement. we could get that done and it would benefit every american.

heather: the rally is at 7:00 pm, good luck in the election and we will all be watching the president in louisiana. thank you for your time. the time is 20 minutes until the top of the our. apple caving under pressure. low-tech giant removing and add about helping pro-democracy protesters in china. we will have a report on that coming up and our next guest, a cyber security expert to break it down for us. she says doing business with china is a balancing act.

removing and apps that allows pro-democracy protesters in hong kong to track police activity this after chinese state media blasted the tech giant saying it helps rioters. here's lisa garber. thank you for joining us. what are your thoughts? >> this is a shocking and upsetting development for privacy professionals. what happened is apple has gone back and forth allowing this apps that allows people to look at where police and protest activity was taking place in hong kong. they removed it from the apps store. heather: let's look at apple's statement, we have learned that an apps has been used in ways that endanger law enforcement. the apps has been used to target police, threaten public safety and criminals used it to victimize residents and we've removed it from the apps store.

the issue is businesses caving to china in general. >> there is so much pressure to get into that market and not just apple, it is google as well. they have to reconcile their democratic values with doing business in china and apple has most of its factories in china, a huge percentage of the population of people buying their devices are in china and they have to look at how the government is responding because they have to operate within the country's laws. shannon: it is a legal issue as well. >> when you look at the apps store guidelines there is not only guidelines for defamatory discriminatory pornographic content but you have to remain within the laws of that country. so smaller apps developers should be taking a look at what is happening. >> they should. we will see what happens. the problem is an ethical issue. privacy is a human right and by removing this from the apps store, removing hundreds of

other applications that allow you to get on the internet without being tracked, allow the new york times and that is a problem. heather: based on what you said he said in terms of human rights. >> there is still a business that they have these ethical principles and are not able to reconcile those ideas. heather: we will see what happens. great to have you with us. 15 minutes until the top of the hour, donald trump ready to rally in minnesota but can he turn the blue state read? our next guest lives in ilhan omar's district, says the president's results are impossible to ignore. how he thinks the president will win next.

heather: planned parenthood launching a $35 million campaign to elect pro-abortion candidates in 2020. they want to flip the senate and beat donald trump. >> reporter: some would say planned parenthood is showing its true colors as it goes all in on 2020. the group spending $45 million and candidates who are pro-abortion to help democrats retake control of the senate and unseat donald trump. they are targeting 5 million voters and pay special attention to these swing states including arizona, colorado, florida, michigan, minnesota, new have to, north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin and you

will see digital tv radio ads, including mailers sent to your home. this is in direct response to the trump administration's recent pro-life victories including him backing a bill banning abortion after 20 weeks. he is the first president to attend march for life and stopped organizations providing abortion referrals to receive federal money. on top of that eight states past heartbeat laws while nine have proposed the bill. kelly robinson, executive director of planned parenthood was just on here. this is from the planned parenthood -- next november our rights and freedoms will be on the ballot. already we've seen trump and his buddies in congress and state legislatures do everything they can to strip us of our rights and access to healthcare. who we elect will determine our access to birth control, cancer screening, sex education, abortion access and more. are in see spokeswoman liz

harrington was on while ago and told us democrats just care about the money. >> democrats have become so extreme on abortion and completely bought off by planned parenthood and their dependence on big money and politics. >> reporter: you will see those pro-abortion ad starting next year with planned parenthood's campaign that kicks off. heather: interesting to see if the candidates themselves tackle it in the coming debate. >> this has a lot of people talking about this this morning. larry on instagram says waste of money but let them have at it. sharon on twitter chiming in saying isn't that taxpayer money? we need to stop funding planned parenthood. crystal on facebook says $45 million can go a long way for women in need of gyn screenings and mammograms. heather: continue to send your

comments on it. donald trump changing gears, heads to minnesota tonight looking to turn the state read but it was the only state ronald reagan could not win in 1984. what does donald trump have to do to win in 2020? tony lazzaro lives in ilhan omar's district. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks. heather: let's look at donald trump's approval rating since the election. he has been trending up since may 2019. what is your take on the ground in minnesota? >> the president's approval rating considering how many hits he has taken not just from democrats but from the media overall are on the up which is nice to see and hear in minnesota like many others the

president is positioned to win because what democrats are offering is socialism as the alternative. heather: 19 counties in minnesota voted for donald trump in the 2016 election after previously voting for barack obama in 2012-2008. in terms of flipping it red or blue we can take a look at the voting history it self. democrats have had the upper hand. >> we haven't won the state in decades, can't deny that. we lost in 2016 and what it is going to take is 2020 to win places like minnesota. some of these suburban voters that don't necessarily like the president's tone or rhetoric as it is often referred to. they will look at the big economic issues and historically

low unemployment rates and ask if they want someone like elizabeth warren as an alternative. >> and lost the state by a slim margin to hillary clinton and do you think that is primarily as a result of the strong economy? >> yes. he's going to have 18,000 people at the target center and it will be fantastic and he will be campaigning with staff on the ground which no republican has invested in the state in some time. the strong economy, you can't have a campaign flushed with enough cash to replace the economy no matter how much they dislike the tweets it is impossible to ignore. >> what about the divide we

heard about leading up to the big rally between the mayor of minneapolis, the governor in minnesota, efforts to stop the rally itself specifically in ilhan omar's district. what are you hearing? >> there will be thousands of left-wing protesters downtown. they have been liberals before the election and they will be liberal afterward. we are not trying to convert them. many of these people, like representative omar continue to embarrass themselves, they cause damage to property and attack people peacefully trying to attend the rally and quite frankly the president could stay on message and talk about the economy and people like representative omar and the protesters will further expose the radical agenda of the democratic party in minnesota and throughout the country. heather: thank you for joining

us. we will be watching the rally tonight. the time is eight minutes until the top of the hour and the pc police playing baseball. why the atlanta braves just asked the tomahawk giveaway.
