international. ed: yankees playing in the league championship this weekend. steve: good to have you. brian is off today. listener, we have lots of news. ed: that's right. the president slamming former vice president joe biden as he officially calls for impeachment. steve: brand new poll shows a record number of americans support the idea. ainsley: griff jenkins is live in washington ahead of the president's rally in minneapolis tonight. hi, griff. griff: hey, steve, ainsley and ed a big rally. coming on the heal heels brand new fox news poll. more than half of those polled president trump impeached. that's a stark contrast 42% favored impeachment with 45% opposing. sinks then a lot has happened. most notably the house democrats launching the impeachment inquiry. joe biden who has refrained thus far for impeachment

changed his tune yesterday. >> donald trump has violated his oath of office. betrayed this nation and committed impeachable acts. to say preserve our constitution, our democracy, our basic integrity, he should be impeached. >> president who said yesterday he would reconsider recooperating with this inquiry was quick to respond to biden. >> he didn't say that until right now and he sees what is happening to him. he is no longer the frontrunner. he has been caught red-handed. here is a man on tape saying exactly what he is going to do in terms of corruption and he gets away with it. griff: now, next up in the inquiry, we talked about this yesterday maria, you see her there former ambassador to ukraine does intend to testify tomorrow. unclear if the state department will try and stop her. in the last hour like they did sondland earlier this week. and overnight in kiev, this news president zelensky was speaking with reporters, still doing it now actually.

saying he felt no pressure and there was, quote no, blackmail in that call with president trump. steve: we have heard him say that before. griff, thank you very much for that. ed: look at these numbers republicans only 13% say they want the president impeached and removed from office. when you have strong support in the republican party. it's highly unlikely he is going to have a problem with the republican senators actually removing him from office even if the democrats decide to go ahead and quote unquote impeach him. ainsley: the president was tweeting something to the fact of why would you want to impeach me when the economy is so good and you have these tax cuts. steve: we told you how frank cipollone sent that eight page letter to nancy pelosi we are not going to cooperate unless you putt it to vote and open up meetings and make it clear. yesterday the president said says he will cooperate if the house votes on going forward with the impeachment inquiry and follow the rules that they have always

followed. ed: right. that opens up to subpoena power for the republicans as well. one would bet that they would call hunter biden among others as potential witnesses. that's interesting because mark thiessen was saying last night here on the channel once starts saying i want to see more investigations it may turn on the biden family as well. watch. >> joe biden comes out and endorses impeachment today. the problem is it's bad news for him. the last thing he should want is impeachment inquiry. if there is going to be an investigation into the president there will be one into biden. they see him as in the way is he complicating the story. elizabeth warren is benefiting from that and she has run a good campaign. steve: that's why joe biden came out last night, rather, late in the day at that ski lodge up in new england where essentially. ainsley: new hampshire. steve: the president of the united states is shooting holes. got to go. ed: interesting. one of the things here is that the president and his

attorney rudy giuliani, one of their goals was to get the hukd information out there. get it in the bloodstream and point out that biden may have bigs. guess what in the democratic primary he does have big problems. all of this is front and center in the campaign now just as the president wanted it to be. ainsley: people are looking at him saying is he going to endorse impeachment because that means investigations on his son. the president said what joe biden said yesterday when he was in new hampshire saying that he does call for impeachment. the president said it's pathetic and he said his son is the one who ripped off two countries, at least two countries for millions of dollars. steve: because democrats are running the show right now they are not talking about hunter biden. past is prologue not doing it the way they have done in the past. it's all key now to this ukrainian phone call that we found out about from this whistleblower who came forward and remember the initial news reports were that they had come forward because the president of the united states has made this

outrageous, crazy promise though the world leaders and there was quid pro quo. we saw the actual complaint and there was nothing there nonetheless the whistleblower, we told you yesterday byron york has that story in the examiner saying this whistleblower had professional contacts with some 2020 candidate. well, that got president of the united states going. ainsley: that's right of the president tweeted this out. the whistleblower's lawyer is a big democrat. the whistleblower has ties to one of of my democrat opponents. why does the icig allow this scam to continue? and then there was a letter from the whistleblower's attorney that said this: our client has never worked for or advised a political candidate, campaign or party. second, our client has spent their entire government career in apolitical civil servant positions in the executive branch. third, in these positions our client has come into contact with presidential candidates from both parties in their roles as elected

officials, not as candidates. finally the whistleblower is not the story. ed: that still leaves open the question did. this whistleblower have some contact with joe biden and elizabeth warren since she is in the senate? i don't know. i first supported this a few weeks ago on sean hannity's program that there was quote, unquote political bias found with the bhib. we did not know then what it was. immediately the left jumped on the store and said oh, he or she is just a registered democrat. this is not political bias. this is exsagger rate offed and byron york has taken that and moved it forward and said the inspector general for the intelligence community when he went behind closed doors said that there is more here than just being a registered democrat. so, there is some sort of political bias. we just don't know the extent of it. and the president has been on offense. he has been punching and punching. and that's important because it is turning the focus a bit away from what happened on the call and saying hold on a second, who is really behind all of this? steve: right. because that says a lot.

remember, we were never going to see the call and see the transcript. because that's never been done before. but because the whistleblower it, sounded so sensational quid pro quo, big promise by the president? and the president smartly said, you know what? this is not going to go away unless i show it to everybody. hey, take a look. there it is right there. so now we know what was in that phone call, the big question is will we know the identity of the whistleblower. i have heard there are a lot of people in washington trying to figure it out. stay tuned. ed: the president was jumping yesterday when he spoke to reporters and took a lot of questions on impeachment and joe biden but also talked about the nba and they are in a lot of hot water right now because initially the commissioner of the nba was kowtowing to china after one of the general manage ires for the houston rockets had spoken out on behalf of the hong kong protesters. steve: supporting them. ed: supporting them because a lot of these nba folks. so coaches and players have been ripping the president for the last few years. a whole bunch of issues.

fine to speak out then. one general manager speaks out against the communist regime in china and chirgs says we don't want to offend anybody. steve: okay to bad mouth the president of the united states. but when you start talking about things that impact the nba's business, which is vast, in china, suddenly, everybody has got to clam up. ed: all about the money. interesting, two of the folks in the center of this steve kerr and ben popovich two of the biggest coaches in the nba. when they are asked all of a sudden they don't know what to say about china. watch. this really bizarre international story and a lot of us are, you know, don't know what to make of it. so, it's something i'm reading about. and just like everybody is. but i'm not going to comment further. >> he has been a heck of a leader in that respect, and very courageous. >> wasn't easy for him to

say. he said that in an environment fraught with possible economic peril. ed: you see the hemming and hawing. steve: they have to be so careful they don't want to happen to them what happened to the other guy. ainsley: president criticizing them saying you have been tough critics on me but not going to criticize this communist country because of the money. listen to the president. >> i watch this guy steve kerr and he was like a little boy. he was so scared to answer the question. he couldn't answer the question. yet, he will talk about the united states very badly. i watched popovich sort of the same thing but he didn't look quite as scared, actually. but they talk badly about the united states but when they talk about china they don't want to say anything bad. i thought it was pretty sad, actually. they have to work out their own -- i watch the way kerr and popovich and some of the others were pandering to china and, yet, to our own country it's like they don't

respect it. ed: it's interesting. it was kerr, the coach of the warriors after they won the championship earlier in the trump administration snubbed president trump and didn't go to the white house and lebron james jumped on that and called president trump a bum in a tweet retweeted. used to be an honor lebron said back then to go to the white house before you were in office. you didn't hear the commissioner say let's respect the president of the united states. but china let's not offend anybody. steve: ted cruz and aoc have sent a letter to the nba saying they should suspend all activity in china until chinese-related entities, commercial sponsors. ed: bringing cruz and aoc together. steve: look at that. ainsley: some democrats and republicans saying it's a detrail of american values. steve: what do you think about that in friends@foxnews.com and facebook. ed: over to jillian with

headlines. jillian: secretary of state mike pompeo defending the president's withdrawal from northern syria amid new attacks by the turkish military. >> does the u.s. take responsibility for whatever the outcome is because the u.s. has given turkey a green light? >> yeah, well, that's just false. the united states didn't give turkey a green light. jillian: the president's decision to withdraw has received harsh, bipartisan criticism. pompeo insists the u.s. troops were withdrawn because they were in danger. as the turkish invasion inference phis dangerous prisoners from syria fierce they could escape. two isis known as the beatles in custody. notorious terrorist cell beheading two dozen hostages including three americans. people in california pretty upset as bay area residents prepare for a second wave of power cuts. >> taking care of this in

tuition-free college elizabeth warren has a plan for that how much will these plans cost and how will she pay for it here to break it down. conservative partner institute rachel joins us from d.c. rachel, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> it's great, she has got plans for everything. the big question is, of the middle class voters, who she is going to need to vote for her. how much are these plans going to cost them? >> well, that's a question she refuses to answer. but it's one that she needs to. because according to brian of the manhattan institute the ago grey cost of every plan elizabeth warren has put forward is close to $48 trillion. that's trillion with a t. there is no way even taxing the rich into oblivion can pay for that this is going to require a middle class tax increase. steve: that's interesting. she was asked by stephen colbert hey, this healthcare reform thing that you have got planned, medicare for all, how high will middle class taxes go and she would

never answer the question for that reason probably, right? >> i assume. so because if you do the math, if you just do the math, even with a wealth tax, you are only a fifth of what other aggregate proposal policies will cost. it's a known thing that the middle class is going to pick up the tab for elizabeth warren's plans. steve: she has so many plans. she has a new plan as of yesterday. environment justice plan combating pollution that disproportionately affects low income communities that would cost about a trillion dollars over 10 years. then the affordable higher education plan, free college, cancel student debt as well. 1.5 trillion. and the empowering american workers and raising wages plan 15 bucks an hour. things like that. then again, the question is how many businesses would cut staff or hours as well? these are numbers that we probably aren't going to hear her talk, about right? >> that's right. but the congressional budget office told congress if you raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, 1.3 million

workers are going to lose their jobs. she should have to answer for that. steve: well, you would think she would. at the same time, she is leading in the polls accord torg the latest real clear politics average she is leading without actually giving details. so maybe it's working for her. why bother? >> hey, if you don't have to answer questions and you can still win it's every politician's dream. steve: no kidding. apparently joe biden has squeaked even closer. i think they are in a statistical dead heat. nonetheless, he is being asked about his plans. he is giving some details although not much. that's where we are right now. isn't it, in the primary season a race to the extremes until you are in the general and then suddenly it's you know what? maybe we can't afford it. >> i will point out that elizabeth warren's plans and the price tag associated with i didn't think it was possible she makes joe biden look like barry goldwater based on how much he wants

to spend virus success how much she wants to spend. he is starting to drop and she is surging but she is still far, far behind him with african-american voters. particularly in the state of south carolina which is an early primary state. she hasn't done well with that demographic. hence why i you see her introduce this environmental justice plan spends a trillion dollars on minority communities. steve: she is doing very well when it comes to fundraising. i have read stories here in new york city. papers say wall street while they might say yeah, we are going to support the democrat, if it were between elizabeth warren and trump they would vote for trump because they don't like what she would do to their industry. >> that's right. two prominent democrat donors quoted anonymously in the "the washington post" said they would sit out the election if elizabeth warren is the nominee. steve: stay tuned. just getting started. rachel, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, bernie sanders said he would slow down after that heart attack last week. this week bernie is kind of backtracking.

billions of dollars taken years to build up. ed: a fellow at the independent women's forum beverly hallberg. good morning, beverly. >> good morning. is this exposing the controversy at the nba companies were sacrificing as you heard in those various mainstream media reports american principles to do business in communist china? >> yes. i think it's exposing a lot. i think, first of all, when we take a look at free trade. free trade is an important way for americans to be able to export the ideas of freedom and democracy to people who are repressed. if we have to change ourselves in order to do so this is why americans are standing up. look, you may care about the bottom line but we care about these ideals. even shockingly last night nba playoff game in philadelphia and washington, d.c. in our nation's capital where fans brought signs that said free hong kong and those fans were escorted out of the games. so, this is not just how people are being repressed in china and, of course, we

should stand up for individuals there. but we are finding that even fans of the nba and the united states are being censored by the nba itself. ed: these are preseason games, i believe. and people are outraged about that. what is the prescription moving forward not just with the nba? look. the nba as well as american companies across the board and other industries they want to tap this big chinese market. how do you do it while still preserving american principles of freedom? >> this is where you have to make a choice. now, i have no problem with businesses realizing that profit is an important thing. they have to provide financial benefits to their stakeholders. but this is where americans need to stand up. americans say i don't like that our ideals have to be left at the door. i'm not going to show up at an nba game and show service. a company doing it the right way is facebook who is choosing to help the protesters in hong kong. they don't do business in china.

they know what it is is the nba is silencing them. they are fearing speaking out because they know money is on the line. ed: that's right. beverly hallberg and steve kerr. more than happy to provide lectures by president trump on a bunch of issues. now he is stumbling and bumbling around on this one where they should be speaking clearly. thank you. >> thank you. ed: the president and joe biden going after each other head on. >> afraid about just how badly i will beat him next november. >> biden is dropping like a rock. i don't think he is going to make it. ed: we will take you inside the trump campaign with national press secretary cailee mcenany. she is on deck ahead the president's big rally tonight. that is next. ♪ baby, you just ain't seen nothing yet. ♪ here's nothing that you are never going to forget. g]

are the words of a desperate man and a man who is falling. elizabeth warren has taken the lead in the polls but not just desperation on that front. desperate to distract from the wrongdoing of joe and hunter biden. the focus is on quid pro quo. he is feeling the heat and can you tell by that desperate soundbite. steve: the real clear politics average did change in the last 24 hours. joe biden is back on top by a couple of tenths of a percent. nonetheless, it's neck and neck. rudy was on with sean last night. he was talking about some documents, some sort of proof that the former vice president had been involved in something, you know, unscrupulous. >> yeah. he did. it was a member of parliament in the ukraine who says he has evidence that joe biden received 900,000 in lobbying funds from burisma that needs to be looked into. look, you know, we have proof of one thing that china and ukraine were throwing buckets of money at hunter biden.

i certainly don't believe hunter biden was some sort of indispensable talent. i don't think the rest of the nation does. we got to ask those questions. and every day we learn more facts. those facts exonerate president trump and incriminate joe biden. that was just one of the many. steve: so they have got documents to prove that? >> it's a ukrainian member of parliament who says he has documents. i have yet to see those documents. they need to be looked at. steve: we don't know that it's true. >> we don't know it's true yet, no. we know of the allegation. i want to point out one thing that john solomon pointed out two nights ago that we do know to be true and it's this. ukraine opened an investigation into burisma many months before president trump's ukrainian phone call. that is a fact. they were looking into the wrongdoing at burisma long before president trump mentioned it. that is exonerating fact and also one that puts the heat back on joe biden. ainsley: i'm sure it's going to be something the president is going to be talking about tonight in

minneapolis. he is has been sparring with the city's mayor. the mayor says if you are a police officer and covering this event the trump rally, you are not allowed to wear your uniform. the president tweeted this out would someone please tell the radical left mayor of minneapolis that he can't price out free speech. probably illegal. i stand strongly and proudly with the great police officers and law enforcement of minneapolis. and the great state of minnesota. see you thursday night. your thoughts? >> yes. yeah. this partisan hack of a mayor said on the very day we announced this rally in september. he said look, i don't want the president here but i can't stop him by legitimate means. so what has he done? he has tried to stop i will legitimately sketc squelch the free speech rights. he tried to hit the center with half -million-dollar bill. if you lit the president come here half a million dollars. knowing this is something the secret service takes care of. here we are in minneapolis.

judicial analyst and host of liberty file on fox nation judge andrew napolitano. good morning. >> good morning. at stake here is the freedom of 700,000 human beings who came here as infants, graduated from highlly americane workforce, some of them actually work here at fox news and people that we know. does the president really want to deport them? i don't think so. i think he tipped his hands in that tweet. he wants to win this battle so that he can use it as a negotiating technique with congress. what's the battle? president obama proposed new immigration laws to a republican congress which basically said let the 700,000 stay here. they pay taxes. they went to school. they are not in jail. they are not committing crimes. congress rejected it. president obama then signed an executive order putting in to the executive order the very law that congress had rejected. and then these people are planning their lives and staying here.

so, is president trump bound by president obama's executive order? no, presidents with negate the executive orders of their predecessors. but there is the freedom of 700,000 human beings at stake. steve: sure. and you make the point that it's probably a negotiating thing and the president has made it very clear, give me the wall. i will give you daca attachment stuff like that. there is some trading. at the same time, president obama said before this. he said i can't do he did it. really isn't the supreme court deciding whether or not the president has the authority to do what president obama did? >> yes. president obama did it under the authority of what's called prosecutorial discretion. the prosecutor, the president, who decides whether or not somebody is going to be deported is exercising his discretion not to deport these people because they are productive members of society. but, when you do that for 700,000 people, it has the effected of changing the law. who gets to change the law? not the president, only the congress. steve: he did change the law? >> correct.

this is really a very very profound legal issue that transcends these 700,000. steve: what the supreme court says that president obama can go ahead around change the law, that's going to change everything going forward. >> so both sides are watching this case. it's not going to be argued for a couple of weeks. ainsley: what's going to happen? >> if president trump wins, he will have tremendous power over immigration. if he loses, his wings will be clipped substantially. i don't see a compromise here. i think the supreme court is going to rule one way or another. the general rule is, the general rule, if the government has not enforced the law for generations, and people have relied on that nonenforcement, it can't start enforcing it. these people have been here for 20 and 30 years and have never been threatened with deportation until now. ed: he can all of a sudden use that power if he wins the case to, as you say, exercise new power on immigration. say i'm going to build the wall without congress could get really interesting fast.

new evidence tied to this whole controversy. good morning to you. >> he has been super busy on this we have been watching as has been talking about one country after another. strong pushback yesterday from the president of ukraine. he was trying to characterize that conversation with president trump is not the way it's been characterized in some circles back here in the u.s.a. he said the phone call was fine. he also talked about this idea of blackmail. he said this. this is a bit of a loose translation that we have gotten from his comments yesterday. there was no blackmail. i didn't check if american and our versions matched. talking about the versions of the story. i didn't check it. i'm not going to lie. we never talked about burisma before. speaking of burst marks of course, that has to do with hunter biden as for the former vice president his dad joe biden talking about number of things.

accused the president of doing well, quite frankly, damage to the country. as for that picture the now famous picture of the former vice president and his son he was talking about that and whether or not he actually talked about business in ukraine with him. listen. >> he did say at one point he was on the board. saying i sure hope to hell what you are doing. >> in terms of how much is he being paid or his job. >> what his job was. >> that's the vice president's take on whether he had the conversation. maybe just a bit of an adjustment there. talk about the business at all. again, he said that's not the case. very busy day here, guys. we are looking forward to tonight. because we'll be able to bring you more coverage of the president's trip to minneapolis. i will have the details kevin to review that soundbite. famously asked if he had

ever spoken to his son by that very tall correspondent peter doocy but overseas. said never spoken. in that magazine article it is said that hunter had spoken to him once about it. so that is the vice president kind of addressing what his son has said. >> exactly. and i think what he is attempting to do is say that this was not sort of i'm advising you or i'm telling you what to do or whether or not you should be involved. he made it sound like, at least in from my take of listening to it, like it was a very minor conversation, something very specific about. if you are going to be on the board, i hope you know what you are doing, that's the vice president's take on this guy. ed: thank you kevin corke. sounds like clean up on aisle 4. he messed up in his answer. trying to square things up the vice president with what his son hunter biden. axios has a story out this morning saying that the president is trusting his instincts now in the impeachment fight and

instincts fight like hell. that's what he is doing now. prevailed in the mueller situation. a lot of democrats assumed he was going to be impeached over that and he wasn't. the president is going back to what he does well. which is to say i'm going to fight like hell and turn this around on joe biden. we had kayleigh mcenany on earlier. she was suggesting all of a sudden the scrutiny is on the form are vice president. watch a member of parliament in the ukraine received 500,000 in lobbying funds from. [buzzer] mavmentlobbying burisma. that needs looked into. we have proof that china and ukraine were throwing buckets of money at hunter biden. i certainly don't believe hunter biden was some sort of indispensable talent. i don't think the rest of the nation does. we learned more facts and the exxonner rates president trump and incriminates joe biden. steve: she was alluding to what josaid about the former vie

president with allegations that the campaign is putting out there saying that some ukrainian member of parliament has got some documents. we don't know that that's true. in fact, kayleigh mcenany said she didn't no whether or not it's true. nonetheless, it's a talking point today. ainsley: she said she has not seen any of these documents that were allegedly released by ukrainian member of parliament. rudy said joe biden was paid $900,000 in lobbying fees from this ukraine gas company burisma. steve: so that apparently is the talking points for the campaign for today. joe biden did that. ed: sooner or later they have to produce that evidence though. steve: absolutely. >> biden campaign saying this is a smear, that's not true. the trump campaign is going to have to prove this one way or another if they have this evidence. joe biden keeps saying my son didn't do anything wrong. hasn't been looked at or scrutinized in a way that has made people have confidence that there was nothing wrong here when his son is getting $80,000 a

month when people didn't think he had any sort of energy experience. steve: but, at the same time, when during the time, when he was vice president, the white house looked into it and said there is no conflict of interest. hunter could go ahead and take that job. ed: interesting because there is pressure on nancy pelosi. ainsley: democrats aren't talking about that. they are talking about impeachment. and john garamendi congress from california he was on another network. this is what he had to say about it. he is a democrat, keep in mind. >> i do think it's time for us to put a vote on the floor a resolution for the inquiry structured in such a way that it can move forward with full power of the congress behind it. that will further strengthen congress' hand. they want to fight then let us arm ourselves completely and totally with the full power of congress. ainsley: is he breaking from his party. he is saying let's take a vote. formal inquiry. steve: he sounds like the president of the united states. ed: president wants a vote. he will cooperate. i will turn over some of these documents.

allow witnesses to testify. but, what the democrats may not fully understand is that what the president is really pushing for is a vote so that, you know, regular order will prevail. what we have seen in previous impeachment which is it's not just adam schiff and the democrats with subpoena power. it's the president and his legal team with subpoena power. who would be one of the first witnesses if they have subpoena power? hunter biden. steve: of course. recall. ed: have you bringing in ambassador and diplomats. what did he do to earn the money? steve: why call in hunter biden when you can call in joe biden. joe biden i'm sure would have plenty to talk about it because last week we had kurt volker appear behind closed doors. he was deposed. and they haven't released a transcript although there has been some reporting that apparently he said repeatedly there was no quid pro quo. and the president would like to see that transcript released because he says it exonerates him. but nonetheless adam schiff is in control of the

transcript. and that doesn't help their narrative so it stays locked up. ed: all of kurt volker's text messages on this. do you work hunter biden has any text messages on ukraine? will we haven't looked at those, right? ainsley: nancy pelosright? >> i think if impeachment were as popular as democrats saying it was. we would have seen an official impeachment inquiry again. either nancy pelosi doesn't have the votes and she does have the votes and knows it will be a political disaster to force people to vote on this issue. i'm struck by the fact that you are being told there is all this movement toward impeachment but those approval ratings are predy steady. ed: does she want to put nancy pelosi, so much the moderate democrats who won trump swing districts in 2018 put them on the griddle and have them vote up or down on impeachment inquiry? that might be one of the reasons they have held back. >> at the same time. when you look at the number of democrats in congress

right now all but 10 have -- regarding the house, all but 10 have said we are for impeachment. >> well, she has got the votes so it doesn't have to do with the vote now. has to do with the vote first tuesday of november of 2020. all about whether or not she will still have the hammer in the next congress. ed: well, in running for 2020 a second time around bernie sanders. remember he came close to knocking out hillary clinton in the democratic primary, sort of shocked the democratic establishment as ail democratic socialist. remember, he just had to leave the campaign trail because of that heart attack. when he came back he said you know what? i did too many rallies. i might have to slow down. some supporters had a lot of raised eyebrows. ainsley: came out and said we are going to change the nature of the campaign a bit. probably not doing four rallies a day. we were doing five or six meetings a day. three or four rallies and town meetings and meetings with groups of people.

i don't think i'm going to do that. steve: well, you know what? that caused problems because it's like people look at it and say wait, something must be the matter. ainsley: slowing down. steve: holding back on things. yesterday he came out and said, you know what? i misspoke. sorry. watch. >> it felt from a public perspective that there was an absence of transparency. >> i don't accept that. i think that's a media things. i think sometimes -- i don't know what people think campaigns are. the first thing we are trying to do is understand what's going on. i think we acted absolutely appropriately. ed: isn't it interesting that bernie sanders had been in the previous comments saying i used to do four rallies. remember when donald trump in 2016 doing six, seven, eight. saying hillary clinton doesn't have the stanma. he is probably licking his chops facing somebody like bernie sanders. it's hard work i don't know if i can get through with there. it's blowing up. he should be able to deal with any health issues.

under pressure from supporters giving him millions of dollars saying are you in this fight or not. steve: while they say i misspoke and i'm going to go ahead and do at love stuff. his wife jane also added that apparently they have cancelled all events until tuesday and the next presidential debate. ed: we are glad that jillian did not cancel her event with us. jillian: i would never. steve: she had no choice. jillian: let's get you caught up on a fox news alert. 100 kurdish fighters have been killed since attacks began. two syrian villages cleared of terror. those announcements have not been confirmed. mike pompeo defend the president's withdrawal from the region. >> ther does the u.s. take responsibility for whatever the outcome is? because the u.s. has given turkey a green light. >> that's just false. the united states didn't give turkey a green light. jillian: the president's decision to withdraw has

their reasons for denying documents and witnesses subpoenaed by house committees investigating the president. brett tollman is a former u.s. attorney. he says this is all justified. he joins us today from salt lake city. bret, what do you mean it's justified? >> look, this is accusing someone of a crime. and in our country, when we accuse someone of a crime, we want it to be a process, due process is important. the ability for that person who has been accused of a crime to face their accusers and to be at the table when they are interviewed so that they can prepare a defense. steve: but, at the same time, the constitution says the house can pretty much run the impeachment show any way they want to, right? >> well, there is no question right now. whoever is in charge of the house can set the rules. they get to do that. but, history is supposed to guide us and that history has very clearly indicated whether it was clintonor clinton before that the president allowed to have his his

attorneys present and opposing party investigate underlying facts. the house is supposed to that be agency or body investigating the facts and then they will submit that to the senate for trial. but at this point, we don't have any of those safeguards that historically haven there. steve: right. so much of this impeachment inquiry goes on with the president of ukraine which came from that whistleblower, that initial whistleblower who filed for protection. now, brit, the president wants this person, his or her identity revealed. when you file for whistleblower protection, is there a guarantee of anonymity? >> there is not. and this is an important point that you raise. whistleblowers while they may be anonymous at the start of a action, at some point there is an expectation that they will be revealed because they are

the key witness and both sides get to cross-examine. they get to, you know, assess the credibility of the witness and that's important, historically we have allowed presidents who are facing impeachment infire infieries to have their attorneys there. >> would you see going forward. >> it doesn't need to be in a public forum, necessarily. there are interviews that could take place. they can be behind closed doors. what you want is not just the appear and of fairness. but you want both sides involved in this process. both sides have the ability to dig into the credibility and the legitimacy of the claims that are being made. that's what we want to see when someone is accused of a crime president or regular citizen. steve: sounds like the president called trey gowdy

up. hey, you used to be in the house. how about helping me out. mr. gowdy has signed on outside counsel to help with the impeachment inquiry. how do you gauge that response to what's going on? >> i think it's a good decision. because trey not only is a former member of the house but a former federal prosecutor. and as a federal prosecutor myself. i can tell yo you he had concerns when he was a prosecutor that someone he was accusing of a crime had a fair opportunity to defend themselves. we do -- we gain nothing as a country if we try to do this in secrecy. we try to do this behind closed doors and especially if we try to do it without granting the president some ability to defend himself. steve: it's all about fairness, you say. brett tollman former u.s. attorney for utah. thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, 7:21 in new york city. planned parenthood wants to flip the u.s. senate. they are going to spend $45 million to do it. abby johnson is a former

when you want to go through looking at ukraine, why not hunter biden and have the ambassador there have others from the administration who -- by the way, would have input into the process as well to say here are some things actually going on that phone call as well. the other thing we have got to remember is there was a transcribed interview last week mr. volker that has not been released from every indication from those actually in the room. the reason the democrats are not releasing that transcript is because it goes against the entire narrative that they want to think there was this quid pro quo that there was this pressure on the ukrainian president. don't want to put it out ashamed of what they have to put out. that drip, drip, drip. the american people only hearing the one sided partisan attack from schiff and pelosi. ainsley: senator lindsey graham said if they do not release that transcript then he wants former special envoy kurt volker to testify. >> i think that's perfect reason for senator graham ought to be looking at this. his committee is one that should be looking at this. it should be taking this up. and just to remember, also,

pressure on the hong kong police and other folks to acquiesce to become a bunch of sheep. and the protesters don't want to become a bunch of sheep. they are using counter measures and doing everything they can to prevent china from spies on them. china has too much pressure and we see too many people caving. if they keep caving, ed, we are never going to see the end of it and it's going to start effecting us here in the u.s. with our civil liberties and fre freedom of speech. ed: apple says we have learned in an app. hk map dot live danger law enforcement. the app. has been used to you target and ambush police. threaten public safety and criminals have used it to victimize residents. we have removed it from the app. store. so, the way apple puts it seems reasonable. you are call them out when people have used those same arguments here in america they haven't stood up for law enforcement. >> let's talk about the san bernardino terrorists and apple refused to unlock their phone. how many terrorism cases has apple refused to cooperate with the fbi and law

inquiry if there was a full vote and fair conditions was quick to respond to biden. >> he didn't say that until right now. he sees what is happening to him. i guess he is no longer the front-runner. he has been caught red-handed. here is a man who is on tape saying exactly what he will do in terms of corruption. he gets away it. reporter: watch for this tomorrow. maria yovanovich expected to testify. president zelensky reiterating he was not pressured by the president. there was no blackmail. ainsley: geraldo rivera correspondent at large is here. hi, geraldo. >> good morning, ainsley. >> president and joe biden going toe-to-toe. >> general election on already.

>> i think joe biden was driven in part by desperation, with elizabeth warren surging, taking over the spot as leading democratic contender. regardless what biden's motive is he is joining a process that is fundamentally flawed? where is the constitutional due process. love him or loathe him president trump deserves his rights. his rights dictate as they did for richard nixon and bill clinton, one in 19674, one in 1998 there has to be a vote whether congress has impeachment inquiry. there is no vote. half a dozen committee chairman running off, throwing subpoenas if it was confetti in a mardi gras parade. there is no no due process for. i urge the president to resist. this is a kangaroo court. adam schiff a "captain kangaroo"

and nancy pelosi is the bandleader. steve: geraldo, it is working for democrats. if you look at public sentiment, more people are saying we should have some sort of inquiry into this. the number, about the number of people felt be removed that could only be explained the democrats are getting their message out while the republicans have not been that successful at it. >> well the democrats have an adoring media. the drumbeat has been incessant. the president hasn't adequately confronted i think the addition of trey gowdy will be helpful to have some strong, experienced, former prosecutor, former congress person, taking some of the, some of the public heat from the president. and keep steering it back to the fundamental, the fundamental question. you cannot allow the democrats to proceed with any kind of righteousness unless they abide by constitutional due process. my god, it is simple.

unless this congress votes, unless the house votes, they will probably win the vote if they have the vote, but unless they do vote the republicans have no rights. they subpoena, can subpoena no one. where is the fairness in this? at some point the american people will see through the propaganda and demand as the president does, whether they love him or loathe him. as i said. it doesn't matter pro-trump, anti-trump, what matters, he is the president of the united states. historic precedent in the 20 and 21st century the person accused in this most profound, distressing, experience, any president deserves to have fairness. just as any defendant in any court. i know it's a political process but even politics has to depend in some measure on precedent. precedent here is clear. nixon, they voted in '74. clinton they voted in '98.

why is nancy pelosi not allowing the congress to vote. if i was the president i would resist every subpoena. i would deny them every single witness and fight them tooth or nail, let the courts decide whether the house can proceed without constitutional due process. ed: some advisors i have spoken to that nancy pelosi doesn't want the vote because the subpoena power would extend to the republicans. there would be fair play and republicans are not getting. the republicans want to call in hunter biden, joe biden what they knew about ukraine. the other point you can weigh in on, the president wanting his rights. he said he wants to face his accuser. yet the original whistleblower, the lawyers for that whistleblower are kind of downplaying what the inspector general found, there was some sort of political bias here. we don't know exactly what it is but the "washington examiner" has a headline, the whistleblower, had a quote, unquote, professional tie to a 2020 democratic candidate.

we don't know which one. steve: the attorney said the whistleblower had contact with presidential candidates through their work, never worked for or advised political candidates campaign or a party. through whatever job the whistleblower had or has, they have met prominent people in washington, d.c. and some have been running for president sounds like? >> it is even far worse, i believe, steve than that. i believe that what you have here is a, someone, a political activist, who wanted to hurt the president. who had no first-hand knowledge but was the aaccumulate tore of various reports about the president's phone call with president zelensky. let me put in parenthetically, as griff jenkins reported, president zelensky once again said there was no pressure. once again said there was no

quid pro quo. he is the star witness for the prosecution, the president of the ukraine. if you can have a impeachment, if the guy you're saying was strong-armed says that it didn't happen. their star witness is saying that the president is innocent. in terms of the whistleblower's partisan nature there is no doubt that this whole process is political. why is nancy pelosi not holding this vote? she is not holding this vote because she doesn't want those democrats elected in 2018 in districts carried by trump in 2016 to be outed. she doesn't want her marginal, moderate democrats to be outed as being in favor of impeachment. they know in those districts like western pennsylvania, that once the congressman says i want this president impeached, let's have the inquiry, those people s not moderate. he will not work with the

president h i think that is the tactical reason. strategically i say the president has to fight him tooth and nail. he can't sankfy this, or confirm this process. this has to be something that you know, this is, this is a bar fight. this is tooth and nail. there is nothing nice about this. every time nadler or schiff or any of them issue the subpoena the white house should use it to blow their knows. steve: at this point the democrats are running the bar. ed. ed: let's talk about the nba, geraldo. we have the china issue, it started out where the general manager of the houston rockets said something pretty non-controversial, stand with the protesters. steve: unless you're from china. ed: you would think people here in america and other officials say that is fair point. the president pretty fired up about this. let's hear the president going after nba coaches who have been

afraid to take on china. get your reaction. >> i watch this guy, steve kerr, he was a like a little boy scared he won't answer the question and will talk about the united states very badly. i saw popovich sort of the same thing. he didn't look quite as squared badly. he didn't want. they have to work out their own situation. i watch the way kerr, popovich and some of the others were pandering to china and yet to our own country, they don't respect it. ed: it is interesting because nba commissioner adam silver, free speech. if steve kerr wanted to blast the president, kerr as coach of warriors led the effort not to go to the white house after they won the championship and snubbed president trump. now after somebody goes after chinese, don't go after the chinese, geraldo. >> you know it is hypocritical, isn't it. here you have this woke, nba.

they won't go to the white house. they joined forces with the activists in the nfl. and here they are faced with a totalitarian government, a communist post, repressing a movement to get more civil rights by people of hong kong. so china silence. why? because a billion people in a new market, nba expanding the whole future of the nba, money for every athlete, money for every franchise, so they keep their mouth shut when it comes to china. they're so activist here at home where there is freedom to criticize anyone they want. ed: we do have the freedom. geraldo thanks for coming in as always. >> thank you. ed: jillian's freedom to speak out. jillian: good morning to you. let's start off with a fox news alert. turkey's president says 109 kurdish fighters have been killed since the country began attacks on syria.

hi, my name is sam davis and i'm going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare. many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each and then you're still responsible for 20% of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance. but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look at

humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits and medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2018, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $7400, on average, on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans help you stay active and keep fit by including a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. and, you may be able to save on dental and vision expenses, because coverage is now included with most humana medicare advantage plans. you get all this coverage for as low as a zero dollar monthly plan premium in many areas. and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana's large network. if you want the facts, call right now for the free

initiate a impeachment inquiry. the president of the american federation of teachers declared donald trump has undermined the rule of law and held in contempt the very institutions our republic was built. our next guest says unions should be focused on making things better for educators instead of involved in politics. we have rebecca friedrich a former public school teacher. she sued the california teachers association. good morning to you. >> good morning. ed: why in the world are unions focused on this, instead making sure student have pencils and making sure laptops work in the classroom? >> teachers unions from day one have been 100% focused on politics and speaking of day one, they have been focused on overthrowing this president from the very day he was inaugurated. i watched with my own eyes after little children were pulled from class after unions told pta

parents to pull kids out of class to boycott this president. i saw kindergarteners picketing the president of the united states on the day of the inauguration. they should have been in class learning read. they degraded my profession. spent money on politics. ed: why aren't they focused on making students better? making sure they're well versed in math, english, social studies all of the rest instead of picketing and march in kindergarten, five, 6-year-olds? they probably don't know the difference between donald trump and hillary clinton, do they? >> oh, my goodness. they're little children. they're innocent. they should be taught to respect authority. the reason that the unions focus all their time using children as pawns for leftist agenda is because the unions are really, you know, the arm, the organizing arm and funding of a radical leftist agenda that is

really trying to undermine this republic. they have been doing this for about 60, 70 years, off the backs of teachers. america has believed this lie that teachers are all these leftist, you know, politics driven people. we are not. it is a big lie. most teachers love this country, teach little children. the golden rule. we work really hard. we are totally offended by these unions. we really just need to get them out of our schools. ed: obviously this is america. so we've got freedom of speech. we don't want to suppress that. we want to make sure children are allowed to express opinions. teachers can have opinions. you want them focused on the classroom obviously. but how could we actually trust that any of the teachers who are following these unions, are telling our kids all sides of various debates, whether it be on climate change. whether about war and peace, when they are actually supporting the effort to impeach the president? how can we have an idea there is

freedom of speech and freedom to hear all sides, frankly? >> yeah. well there's not. so i taught 28 years in california public schools. i served as a union leader. i was silenced. i was squashed. in fact teachers unions regularly squash amazing ideas that teachers come up with as part of our union service. instead they pass things like let's go boycott every business that doesn't kowtow to leftist threats and leftist ideology. there is no balance at all. there is no balance in curriculum anymore. because unions are 100% out of their jurisdiction. they're supposed to be there to help with pay and pensions. instead, they have stuck their noses into our classrooms and they need to get out. no, we cannot union activists teachers. they're masquerading as teachers. real teachers are in the classroom loving on kids. ed: we reached out to randi winegarten from the american

federation of teachers. she is unavailable for comment. if she wants to come on tomorrow or this weekend, we'll certainly have her. rebecca we appreciate coming in with your opinions. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. ed: up next, bringing faith to the gridiron. thousands of student standing for christ on football fields all around america. one of those students joins us next. but first, let's check in with my friend bill hemmer for what's coming up at the top of the hour. how are you doing, buddy? >> come on upstairs. nice to see you, ed. the president of ukraine has a lot to say this morning. how he is describing the events, campaign of 2016. do not miss this. meanwhile turkey is on the march. we'll update you what we know today. the president getting ready for a first major rally in weeks. the nba is on the court in china. how did this game go? great lineup. come join sandra and me in 12 minutes. we'll see you at the top of the hour. t, you

being a part of fac introduced me to so many people who share that love for christ as i do. and i have created everlasting relationships with them through fca. ainsley: did you grow up in a christian home? >> i did. it wasn't until i experienced hardness of life on my own, i was able to find christ through all of those that really sparked my love and yearning for him. ainsley: i'm so proud of you. your parents are proud of you. a lot of college kids. they go there are just off the rails, doing things they probably shouldn't do but good for you. >> thank you. that is what fca is big part of making my college experience so special, memorable. i'm so glad that with something like field of faith we're able to grab you know the hearts of so many other people as well. ainsley: i wish all the best. i have everyone at home pray for her future. god bless you. >> thank you so much. >> more "fox & friends" coming up moments away.
