2:32 am
will be allowed to testify? >> i think some of them will be allowed to testify specifically some of the ones that adam schiff and the committee have interviewed that have been part of the administration, but look, adam schiff has a very strategic goal in mind for this, and that is to control the conversation to keep the focus on president trump and keep a very negative spotlight on what's going on, so the fact that he's able to deny the republicans' request for certain witnesses and to bring up that testimony, he's going to couch that as, oh, without, not within the scope of the inquiry but what he's trying to do control the narrative around this to make sure there's publicity on president trump as possible. rob: kevin, let's listen to lindsey graham from yesterday. >> i consider any impeachment of the house that doesn't allow us to know who the whistleblower is to be invalid because without the whistleblower complaint we wouldn't be talking about any of this.
2:33 am
rob: your response to that, kevin. >> to me it would be like unmasking deep throat in 1974 when at this point it really is irrelevant who the whistleblower is because the story that the whistleblower has put forward has been corroborated by multiple officials now, so at this point it's pretty clear that there seemed to be a quid pro quo there and i think what you're going to see a lot of the gop members of the house during the inquiry, they are going to basically try to distract and create chaos and make it like it's a partisan show, but i don't think the whistleblower identity is that important at this point because of the testimony that we've gotten from -- rob: absolutely. adam schiff sent this to representative devin nunes, lauren, i want to respond, will not hold as vehicles for members to carry out the shame sham investigations into the binds or redunk conspiracies about 2016 u.s. election interference that
2:34 am
president trump pressed ukraine to conduct as personal benefit. do you think it's a bit partisan that adam schiff is not curious about that at all? >> yeah, i think that the biden, the whole controversy deserves a good spotlight especially since we are considering vice president biden to be possibly president, right, he's actively campaigning, so i think that there does need to be a good look at that and call it debunked is a little premature. rob: kevin, what's your perspective on that, joe biden could be the next president of the united states, his son had this big job with no experience, how do you just turn away and not look at that? >> well, it should be looked at and it will be looked at i believe as part of this entire process, you know, this investigation -- rob: do you think they will let hunter biden come on and talk, i don't think they are going to.
2:35 am
>> i don't think so. i think adam schiff said that hunter biden, he wasn't interested in hearing him talk and even nelly ohr with fusion gps which i believe is out of the scope which goes back to steele dossier. back to 2016, no, i don't think hunter biden will testify but, look, it is fair game, i think that the investigation was at the point the prosecutor was fired, it was already dormant but it is fair game and i don't think there's much there, though. rob: we shall see about that. all right, kevin, lauren, thank you so much for your time, appreciate it. >> all right, thank you. jillian: fight against isis in syria, more than 500 troops will remain on the ground keeping pressure on the terror group. >> the footprint will be small but the objective will remain the same. jillian: president trump recently approved expanded military mission to secure oil fields in eastern syria after originally ordering a complete
