yes, i respond welch. -- congressman welch. rep. welch: ok. dir.aguire: but once again, congressman, although it is, as far as the legal responsibility in compliance with the intelligence reform act, the whistleblower protection act, it does not the statute does not , allow for that to be done. rep. welch: i disagree with that. dir. maguire: yes, sir. rep. welch: but here is the dilemma that you were in and that we are now going to follow up because executive privilege, if it existed, was waived. under your approach, as you saw it, it means that no one would be investigating the underlying conduct, because in this case executive privilege applies, or may apply. and number two, the president who had the conversation is above the law. so that is a dilemma for our democracy, is it not? dir. maguire: the complaint was sent to the federal bureau of investigation, totally disregarding any concern for executive privilege. rep. welch: but the federal bureau of investigation never did a follow-up investigation, right? dir. maguire: i believe that they had c

. >> peter welch, the congressmen from virginia. thank you very much. one of the principal investigators >> i'm going to turn to you. about the sanctity of a whistleblower, that congress would review it, it would be taken seriously, and your identity would be kept secure. >> it's remarkable this is happening, essentially since edward snowden has a back out this week. we have one here, and it's not working. it's not set up in such a way. most of these things are not set up to say, what if the president does it? this is probably the problem that joseph maguire has right now. they go and look at the rule book and they say, is this an intelligence activity or not? is this person in my command or

representative congressman welch -- i understand that. representative welch: i understand that. but to show the dilemma you were in, let's say a u.s. senator who is well-connected, or private citizen who is well-connected, has a conversation with the leader of a foreign country, and asks that person for a favor, the u.s. senator, let's say, providing dirt on a political opponent. is that something you would see that should be forwarded to this committee? director maguire: i don't need to be disrespectful, but it is difficult to answer hypothetical questions. i'm not sure i understand. representative welch: i won't make it hypothetical. let's say it was a u.s. senator who was the head of the foreign relations committee and was asking for the foreign leader, would you forward that to our committee? director maguire: i mentioned that earlier, that the united states senator is not a member of the intelligence community. and the director of national intelligence does not have the authority and responsibility for the u.s. senate. so any wrongdoing in that regard should be referred to

welch. representative welch: thank you. director, i want to say thank you. there is nobody in this room who can claim to have served the country longer and more valiantly than you. and i heard in your opening remarks that your family before you has been committed to this country. and i say thank you. second, i appreciated your candor in your opening statement when, in your opening statement, you acknowledged the whistleblower acted in good faith. and third, i appreciated your acknowledgment that the inspector general also acted in good faith and according to his view of the law. and i want to say this. when you said you are in a unique position, that is an understatement. you've got a complaint involving the president of the united states and also the united states attorney general. i disagree with some decisions you made, but i have no doubt whatsoever that the same sense of duty that you applied in your long and illustrious career guided you as you made these decisions. so, thank you for that. but i want to ask a few questions about the extraordinary docum

joining us to speak about it, congressman peter welch, democrat from vermont.ight and intelligence committees. he's the chief deputy whip of the democrats in congress. we appreciate you taking the time. first on bolton's departure. we're looking to our fourth national security adviser under this president. do you feel better that bolton is gone? >> i do, but i think there's two issues. one is personnel. and essentially what i think happened here is pompeo won and bolton lost. pompeo has got the ear of the president, and basically has been willing to defer to whatever the trump policies are. bolton was in the president's face and was quite unpopular in the national security apparatus. but second, and this is really more significant, the president is going to be his own national security adviser. that's essentially what's going on. and that does concern me. you need a process by which you evaluate what options are. that has to be done thoughtfully and carefully. the president doesn't like that. he likes to be impulsive. he has enormous confidence if he just sits

i'm so sick, no one wants to take responsibility, mat welch. >> it's backwards.u can, you drink all of it. like -- [laughter] we had a theory in college called schafer-nom if ics where you price everything based on the crush $3.99 of a case. [laughter] it made your choices that much more important. you start drinking when you have kids? that is so backwards. kennedy: that is backyards. >> you have to learn how to drink first and then maybe get into the mating and stuff. i think the alcoholic participating which i'm really getting into -- kennedy: it's a movement. >> when they go to middle school, that's when it gets serious. [laughter] fireball, all the way down -- kennedy: but also varsity drinking participants know day -- parents know day drinking. why would you wreck your night by being hammered? that's what noon is for. >> yeah, that's what i meant. [laughter] but it is true, you get slashed during the day and you recover as the today goes on. kennedy: absolutely right. speaking of slash, we're going to do our own version of guns and roses. bernie sanders say

thank you very much, congressman welch. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> out front next, president trump saying he will release a readout of the first conversation with ukraine's president. >> they're asking for the first phone conversation and i'll release that too, if it's important to you. >> plus just a handful of republicans speaking out about the whistle-blower's complaint. so will there be more? and according to the transcript trump said his attorney, bill barr, his attorney general, his attorney would be rudy giuliani, about investigating joe biden and the doj said bill barr knew absolutely nothing about that, and he was invoked multiple times in this call. does the doj denial add up? woman: what gives me confidence about investment decisions? rigorous fundamental research. with portfolio managers focused on the long term. who look beyond the spreadsheets to understand companies, from breakroom to boardroom. who know the only way to get a 360 view is to go around the world to get it. can i rely on deep resea

welch had to say today. thank you for your words. we do have an oversight, but we also have process in our country. curious to hear tomorrow, fortunately in an open has to what the d.n.i. say and how he may have differently he law or d.o.j. did, and i think the american people deserve that. an glad it's going to be open hearing -- in an opening hearing. talk aboutlot we can this. we can going about an and forth on this. what i hear from my constituents home, there is a lot of hypocrisy out here. you know, when you talk about quid pro quoght or and you're only willing to look or one event it of it or one one possible event say, only hould willing to look in one direction, you lose the trust of american people. you lose the trust of the american people. a child, i watched the watergate hearings. do you know what i was impressed with? you had both sides of the aisle eeking the truth regardless of who was in power or who was in question. haven't seen that for three years. resolution on is the floor. conclusion.ne we are all in agreement.

this hour, i'll talk with congressman peter welch. he's a democrat on the house intelligence committee. and our correspondents and analysts are also standing by. first, let's go to our chief white house correspondent, jim acosta. jim, president trump is refusing to give a straight answer about his contacts with the ukrainian president. >> that's right, wolf. but as you said, cnn has confirmed president trump pressed the president of ukraine to investigate joe biden's son in a call over the summer, and that the call, according to our david shoretel was part of the whistleblower complaint that has rocked the white house this week. the white house is still not commenting on these latest revelations, but earlier in the day, the president did not deny that biden came up during that phone call. all of this is raising questions for democrats as to whether the president attempted to collude with a foreign government, this time ukraine, to impact the 2020 election. >> reporter: sitting in the oval office with australia's prime minister, the pr

david welch: great question.lain just exactly what he is going to do or the regulations of how they would create jobs or make a cars cheaper. the implication here is by having fuel economy rules that are a little less stringent, you lower the cost because you not need fuel saving technology. one thing he did say is that he wants to get rid of the ev mandates, the electric vehicle mandate. that would save car companies a lot of money because other than makingcarmakers are not a lot of extra vehicles -- electric vehicles. david westin: david welch, our bureau chief reporting from new york. coming up, chairman powell's news conference coming up at 2:00 eastern time. this is bloomberg. ♪ scarlet: i am scarlet to. this is "etf iq." ♪ scarlet: rotating to value -- investors rediscovered out of favor sectors, leading to abid for imaging insult of banking on the middle. actress elizabeth banks on what you are overlooking middle cap stocks. and rising demand is driving holdings in silver etf's to an all-time high. whether

>> election interference, yes, congressman welch. but once again, congressman, although it is, as far as what the legal responsibility to do in compliance with the intelligence reform act, the whistle-blower protection act, it does not -- the statute does not allow for that to be done. >> well, i disagree with that. but here's the dilemma that you are in and we're in and we're now going to be able to follow up because executive privilege if it existed was waived. under your approach as you saw it, it means that no one would be investigating the underlying conduct because in this case executive privilege applies or may apply, and number two, the president who had the conversation is above the law. that's a dilemma for democracy, is it not? >> the complaint was sent to the federal bureau of investigation totally disregarding any concern for executive privilege. >> but the federal bureau of investigation never did a followup investigation, right? >> i believe that they have concluded the investigation. i'm not sure. in addition to being
