>> dana: looked like he was scared. a lot of noise. >> people who have cats know loud noises are scary. >> dana: thanks, everyone. i appreciate that you joined us. i will see you on "the five." in the meept, here is brit. brit from the -- in the meantime, here is brit. >> two men in the middle of the impeachment inquiry. what they told congress about president trump and ukraine. some lawmakers demand to know is it her identity. we'll look at what the law says. plus, can a sandwich really be that good? police say a man is dead after a fight over a popeye's fried chicken. fox news reporting begins now. house democrats have released more transcripts from l closed-door testimony in the impeachment inquiry. the deposition obligations from
12:01 pm
former special envoy to ucrepe kurt volker and gordon sondland. sondland says he updated his testimony because other witnesses had "refreshed his memory." in the second deposition sondlansaid that he told ukrainian officials the country would likely not get military aid unless there was a public statement. sondland acknowledged telling one of the president's advisors in war saw resumption of u.s. aid would likely not occur until ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement. president trump repeatedly insisted he has done nothing wrong. he said he had a quote perfect phone call with the ukraine president. jillian turner. >> the transcripts released over an hour ago. we are poring over them with a
12:02 pm
fine-tooth comb. we're going to be doing this all night. there are hundreds of pages to get to. we wanted to bring you a few of the highlights. we will bring you more as we get them. ambassador to the e.u. gordon sondland asked about a meeting said the president repeatedly directed him to talk to his personal attorneys saying "he wasn't even specific about what he wanted us to talk to giuliani about. he just kept saying talk to rudy. talk to rudy. sondland says after ambassador bill taylor texted him that "i think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign" he called president trump himself directly and asked him "what do you want from ukraine?" to which the president answered "i want no quid pro quo. i want zelinsky to do the right thing. volker substantiating claims made by his boss, president
12:03 pm
trump that he did not want a quid pro quo. >> the statement said he wanted a statement on corruption but not necessarily a statement on corruption allegedly related to joe biden. correct? >> that's right. >> what about volker's testimony? what did we learn about that today? >> that's president trump's special envoy to the ukraine. he was asked by the impeachment investigators why rudy giuliani really had any role in u.s. foreign policy toward ukraine at all in the first place, to which volker said this. he said "because the ukrainians asked to be connected to him in order to try to get across their message of being different from the past." he was asked the ukrainians believed that by speaking to rudy giuliani they could communicate to president trump? volker. that information flow would reach the president. despite that, volker was asked whether giuliani was conveying messages to the ukrainians on behalf of president trump later and he said this.
12:04 pm
he said "i did not have that impression. i believed that he was doing his own communication about what he believed. his interests were in. so again, another witness backing up president trump and things that he has said publicly over the last few weeks to americans, but brit, before i let you go i want you to know breaking this hour we confirmed that acting chief of staff nick mulvaney has been summoneded before the intelligence committee friday. we know two days ago ambassador john bolton was summoned to the hill thursday. he is -- not counting himself out yet. his attorney has not made a comment along the lines of he's going to be a no-show so some committee members are holding out hope they would had ever from bolton. >> i would be surprised if he came. mulvaney. has he been invited or have they tried to serve a subpoena?
12:05 pm
>> as far as we have been able to track down this hour he has not been subpoenaed. he's been summoned. fox news obtained a copy of the letter summoning mulvaney here but presumably if the democrats get wind he's not going to show up they'll subpoena him. that raises the stakes. >> gillian, a lot to get through today. thank you very much. our senior producer on capitol hill chad pergram. the fight seems to be on the side to translate the transcripts to the public. >> striking in this transcript, democrats are going to perceive one thing in the transcript. republicans are going to perceive another. to be clear, you had gordon sondland, the ambassador to the european union go back the night before and call rick perry, the energy secretary and retool some of his testimony. that's important here because there was that phone call with bill taylor -- text messages, i
12:06 pm
should say, exchanging back and forth between them saying there was no quid pro quo and then there was an indication in the transcript that maybe there was. i'm going to go to an exchange between lee zeldin, republican congressman from new york and kurt volker, special envoy to ukraine, and zeldin says to volker at one point "in no way, shape or form was there any from the u.s. or ukraine did you receive indication of anything that resembles a quid pro quo" and volker says, "correct." that's striking where what you have here is a release of these transcripts which is something that republicans wanted and democrats perceiving one thing, republicans saying there is other information in here too, brit. >> all along, chad, it has seemed that volker and sondland were witnesses generally favorable to the president. it doesn't sound from today that anything has happened that would change that. >> republicans' criticism has
12:07 pm
been mostly on the process. get the transcripts out. now we have the transcripts. people can look at every jot and tittle in this and say there is information damning to the president, the republicans trying to put up this defensive wall around the president might not be working especially when you have democrats and republicans having to review this as they go to incorporate articles of impeachment in perhaps a month's time. >> touched on this with gillian moments ago about the effort to get mulvaney to testify. have you picked up anything on whether he's likely to show? >> i'm told that's unlikely. you might have noticed they have been crescendoing with witnesses john bolton asked for thursday, former national security advisor, nick mulvaney, acting chief of staff which would be a very big fish, what they typically do is they go forth and call them and say we expect you to come and such and such a date and issue a subpoena sometimes that morning. you had been talking to gillian
12:08 pm
about whether or not they have a subpoena. they might be doing that that morning. that might be why we might be graduating to public hearings soon and i scheduled a senior source before we came on the air if there would be transcripts tomorrow. they have had a couple of dozen witnesses and they don't know, brit. >> i understand there were a couple more witnesses who didn't come today. is that right? >> that's right. that's right. you had two witnesses who were invited. michael duffy, an o.m.b. official and wells griffith who dealt with international aid with the n.s.c., with the resistance of witnesses like mulvaney or griffith or duffy democrats are trying to build the case of obstruction of congress and saying we asked for these people to come and that might be a problem especially if these folks have exculpatory evidence because republicans have none of that information to counter some of this information
12:09 pm
in the depositions today from sondland and volker. >> chad. thank you, my friend. if journalists confirm the name of the ukraine whistleblower should they report it? that question is igniting debates in news rooms across the country. i'll ask judge andrew napolitano what the law says and howard kurtz on the issues involved. this is "fox news reporting." saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. i need all the breaks as athat i can get.or, at liberty butchemel... cut. liberty mu... line? cut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need.

12:14 pm
your job and print his name. >> brit: the whistleblower's attorney, meanwhile, is pushing back. he says any member of congress who calls for the whistleblower will to be identified against his or her wishes is betraying the interests of the constitution. david spun is with more on the legal protection. david. >> if the system is working the way it's supposed to be working only a small amount of people should actually know the identity of this whistleblower. president trump has railed for the identity of the whistleblower over the past few weeks, he mentioned it several times over the weekend and into yesterday. >> i think that the whistleblower gave a lot of false information and you have to see who the whistleblower is. you know who it is. you just don't want to report it. >> but some republicans are starting to speak out against the president's position. senators chuck grassley, rob
12:15 pm
portman, lamar alexander and senator mitt romney a few hours ago. >> my own view is that whistleblowers, particularly those that are blowing whistles on action within the government should be allowed to remain confidential. >> this person is afforded protections under the privacy act of 1974. casts a wide net. more specifically a federal law from 2014 specifically aimed at the intelligence community whistleblowers keeping their name anonymous and stopping retaliation. that's a big one. i sat down with a whistleblower attorney, i called him a whistleblower wizard who wrote a handbook on whistle blowing. he said the responsibility is on the president of the united states. >> the intelligence whistleblower act is unique. it is a mandatory requirement that the president of the united states enforce that law. there are very few laws that the president is actually personally
12:16 pm
responsible for. it's a mandatory part of his job. >> if the president were to release the name of the whistleblower and i want to be clear there is no information that he will, this attorney says that democrats could use that as an article of impeachment, brit. >> brit: david, thank you very much. newsrooms across the country are dpaebting whether journalists should report the name even if that person wants to remain anonymous. fox news senior judicial analyst andrew napolitano is here and joined from washington by media buzz's howard kurtz. we here at fox news do not know for sure the identity of the whistleblower. we have read some reports that give a name. we haven't confirmed it. we're not saying it. let me turn to you, judge, for a thought about this.
12:17 pm
legally, that lawyer we just heard in david spunt's report sounded like the president was personally obligated to protect the law. >> the president has taken an oath to enforce the laws as head of the executive branch, 2 1/2 million people to do it for him, the law does not prohibit the revelation of the whistleblower's name except by people in the chain of command to whom the whistleblower reported his dmant complaint, in this case the inspector general and the intelligence community but the law does assume that if someone in the executive branch revealed the whistleblower's name that that was retaliatory and the law prohibits retaliation. >> brit: the law prohibits retaliation but doesn't explicitly forbid the exposure of the identity of a whistleblower. >> correct. it cannot prohibit the identity of a whistleblower by the third person. if the media gets it correct,
12:18 pm
they can reveal his name. >> brit: what would happen presumably is if someone in the media or some government official, rand paul, for example, the senator who has been calling for this, if he had the name and he's at a rally with the president as he was and he says the name, what would be the whistleblower's recourse? >> the whistleblower presumably, and you can do this anonymously, the court will know who you are but your name won't appear in papers will file a lawsuit against rand paul -- if he said it at a rally. if he said it on the floor of the senate he's protected by the speech and debate clause of the constitution and he's immune from the consequence of what he does. >> brit: you touched on this. what about us in the media? we discover the name. we confirm that we know for sure who this is, we've got it, right? >> absolutely protected from any liability for revealing a truthful statement -- that is, his or her name. >> brit: we're not facing legal strictures whether or not we can
12:19 pm
report the information. >> that's correct, the supreme court has ruled clearly and if you read the statute it only pertains to government employees. >> brit: people outside the government are presumably free to say whatever they know or if they know. >> yes, yes. >> brit: howard, let me turn to you. as a matter of policy, assuming we have the information, we know who the whistleblower is, this whistleblower is the person who triggered this whole impeachment investigation that we're dealing with now. the president and his adherents say this person should be out in the public. there is no reason otherwise. what should we as journalists do? >> first of all, rand paul could reveal the name today on the floor of the senate. he wants the press to do it because he doesn't want to face the inevitable blowback. "the new york times" has described him as a c.i.a. officer who was assigned for a while to the white house so that i think narrowed the circle of suspects. here is the reason that nobody
12:20 pm
in the pression who knows it has revealed it, this is a government official in my view, i'm not defending the whistleblower, i don't know his motivation who went through official channels, who didn't leak it to the press who to an inspector general, to a committee of congress with the expectation he would remain anonymous. it would send a chilling message to future whistleblowers including those in democratic administrations if they thought they could be turned into a political pinata if somebody leaked the name to a reporter. >> brit: isn't it our obligation broadly speaking to print the news without fear or favor? there seems little doubt that this is a newsworthy event. should we concern ourselves with the internal government matters that don't pertain to us? aren't we supposed to publish the news? >> there is no question that publishing this name would be huge news and republicans argue that his motivation, his identity, was he working in cahoots with democrats is a part of the story but there are all kinds of people who we don't
12:21 pm
name though we could and we have the power to. we protect our confidential sources. we don't name those who are intelligence agents, we don't name rop accusers. >> brit: let me change the hypothetical question, howard. suppose we knew the identity of the whistleblower for sure and we knew that what the whistleblower had said was false. what about that? >> that, i think you would have much more justification to publish because you would have a reason to try to demonstrate that this person acted unethically as opposed to just throwing name out there and again turning this person into front-page controversial figure. >> brit: howard, thank you. judge napolitano, thank you too. we are continuing to read through hundreds of pages of testimony and transcripts and we will keep you up to date on that just ahead. one call to newday usa can save you $2,000 every year.

"the new york times" reports that the gunmen shot a child as he tried to run away. officials say the attackers killed nine people including six children. the s.u.v. was burned to just the frame and riddled with bullet holes. investigators said the moms were tramping in three separate s.u.v.'s when the attack happened.

monsters the united states stands ready, willing and able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively. the great new president of mexico has made this a big issue. the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army. >> this is really unthinkable and i agree with the president when he says mexico has to really knuckle down and go after some of these cartels and stop this escalating level of violence and hope that if there is a way we can help in that effort that we're called upon to do so. >> about a dozen of these breakaway polygamous sect still exist. residents have dual citizenship. mitt romney spent summers in mexico in a mormon colony nearby and his father was born there. >> brit: william, thank you very much. much more to accomplish about that story. iranian ambassador said the country will start inject the

brit. >> sean: chad, very helpful. breaking news in the white house response moments ago to today's release of those transcripts in the impeachment inquiry. >> brit: chief white house correspondent john roberts is live. john. >> the white house is drilling down on some of hachad was mentioning a sthort time ago in this revised testimony that was filed yesterday, gordon sondland says he recalls telling ambassador bill taylor, a russia expert from the n.s.c. that there appeared to be a quid pro quo between the aid held up and ukrainians talking about making investigations including of burisma who hunter biden was connected to but he says on page two in the absence of credible explanation for the suspension of aid, i presumed that the aid suspension had become linked to the proposed anticorruption statement. the white house drilled down on that saying ambassador sondland squarely states he did not know
12:38 pm
and still does not know when, why or by whom the aid was suspended. he also said he presumed there was a link to the aid but cannot identify any solid source for that assumption and then they say by contrast volker's testimony confirmed that there could not have been a quid pro quo because the ukrainians did not know about the military aid hold at the time and in his testimony, volker said i didn't not about any quid pro quo, i didn't have conversations about quid pro quo because i didn't know that there was any, and you go back to the top of the white house statement a short time ago from stephanie grisham, the white house secretary saying both transcripts show there is less evidence for this impeachment scam than previously thought. sondland going back and revising his testimony. the white house firmly believed that the transcript of both of these depositions back up their case that there was no quid pro
12:39 pm
quo and that there was nothing wrong in the president's conversations with president zelensky or in the way the white house handled the entire ukrainian situation. brit. >> brit: it would seem, john, the white house might at some point get around to saying we wanted a corruption investigation. broadly speaking one might argue there is nothing wrong with that. where you get into trouble is when you're holding up aid to get the son or the -- of your likely -- or one of your likely opponents in the election investigated, correct? >> don't forget in 2016 joe biden conditioned $1.2 billion in loan guarantees to ukraine on the prosecutor who was there at the time, victor vokin being removed. there was a quid pro quo. you don't get the money until you get rid of this guy and it into the idea that shokin may have been
12:40 pm
investigating burisma which hunter biden was connected to but it happens all the time that american aid is often based on performance, and if the country is not going to perform, in this case president trump said he wanted ukraine to rid itself of corruption. it wasn't going to get that aid. the president made a pinpoint -- the president has made a point that he doesn't want to throw good money after bad. had it simply been about corruption there probably woent wouldn't be much of an issue here but it's throwing of the biden and the burisma stuff. >> brit: biden is the thing. meanwhile president trump's long time associate roger stone is back in court in washington for the start of his criminal trial. this case stems from robert mueller's russia investigation. federal prosecutors charged stone with witness tampering and obstruction of a congressional inquiry. they said he lied to congress about his.
12:41 pm
during the 2016 race. stone pleaded not guilty to all charges. the judge has accused him of repeatedly defying her gag order by pesting on social media. she also set rules for the trial which could include a dog -- a dog on the witness stand. rick leventhal is here with more on that. hi, rick. >> to be clear it's a support dog belonging to a witness. we don't think it's going to be answering any questions but roger stone might. he has been called a conservative provocateur and a swash buckling trickster, he's already in trouble with the judge in this case, at one pretrial hearing she said what am i supposed to do with you? comparing him to a misbehaving middle schooler. she said no video clips from the godfather part two can be played because stone reportedly told a witness to a reference to a seen where a mob witness lies to a congressional committee. a picture of judge amy berman
