it should be joe biden or hunter biden. that hunter biden had just put himself smack dab in the middle of that corruption, and that even though democrats and many of their friends in the media would have you believe that bth burisma/biden corruption, this was all just a vast right wing conspiracy allegation, when in actuality, it was the obama administration that raised this issue first. back in 2015, george kent reported his concerns about hunter biden to the vice president's office, and the former ambassador to ukraine, marie yavonovitch, said she was coached by the obama administration on how to answer pesky questions related to hunter biden and burisma that might arise during her senate confirmation process. and nearly every single witness who testified at the intelligence committee impeachment inquiry agreed that hunter biden's burisma deal created, at the very least, an appearance of a conflict of interest. yet the democrats on the intelligence committee under chairman schiff and now democrats in this committee are de

biden: what was your first name? >> sarah. mr. biden: sarah. you know, you could hear a crack in sarah's voice there, because many of you have experienced the same thing sarah has. also was a significant user of health care. when i first got elected, before i got sworn in, i was in washington and a tractor-trailer blindsided my wife and daughter christmas shopping, and killed my wife and daughter. but my sons survived. anyway. but what happened was, i have insurance. i had the peace of mind that i would be able to get them good doctors. and then, you know, i got hospitalized years ago with a cranial aneurysm. i was hospitalized a couple of times. they took the top of my head off the second time, said they could n't find my brain the first time. [laughter] mr. biden: but it was my nurses that gave me hope. and my son, beau, attorney general, a decorated war hero -- for real. a year in iraq, six months in cozumel before that. he came home and was diagnosed with glioblastoma, given months. it wasn't could he -- would he live, it was when. run out

brings in joe biden, too.ut remember, fundamentally speaking, you've got the leaders of the gop in the senate not wanting to get into the witness pool at all. the fact that biden has said this now brings this debate back into the fore. gives them something to point at and say wait a second. it potentially creates a little bit of a problem for biden himself when answering questions about how he would conduct himself if he were president in a similar -- similarly partisan time. and what his relationship would be like with congress, especially when congress, potentially, would subpoena biden administration for people to testify and for documents and witnesses. but as for right now, how that changes the debate about witnesses, i think probably it doesn't actually take -- take away from what mitch mcconnell wanted to do that much because he wanted to avoid this altogether in the first place. and this is just all the more reason not to get into a long, drawn out fight where you're going to have witnesses defying sub

this is not about hunter biden. they have said that on the other side repeatedly up until they start talking about hunter biden having some substance abuse problems. you can't have it both ways. let's be honest. this is about our conscience, the conscience of the nation. the conscience of my friends on the other side of the aisle. do you believe that we should allow this to go unaddressed, with the president did? because we are a country of precedent. we are a country of rule of law. we are a country of norms and traditions. are we going to allow the violation of our norms, our traditions, our legal precedent. after all, bribery was not a crime. there was no criminal code when the framers past the constitution, but they said bribery in there and what it meant was i am offering you something if you do something for me. i will give you this. in other words, you give me this and i will give you that. that's what we had in this case. that's what bribery means. it doesn't depend on the statute. it depends on what we know

biden campaign, the biden camp, the family. they've missed the opportunity of defining to the american people really the introduction of the biden family in the political context. so far, it's just been all trump's side of it and all of the republicans' side of it that we're hearing. and when you allow other people to define for you what the relationship was, what activities were happening, even if they're flat out lying about it. right now, they're only hearing one side of what happened and one interpretation of what happened, and i think that at some point very soon, once we get through the actual impeachment process, biden as a candidate's going to have to stand on the stage and explain thoroughly what actually happened with his son. does he agree with what happened? is there something he'd like to see differently unfold? and i think that he will do that. i think that we're seeing the first stage really was the indignant anger that we saw from biden. i agreed earlier with what was said that it was a good thing that biden sho

or joe biden. we heard from mr. goldman last week -- and i asked him specifically -- if his committees had investigated that claim, that there was some legitimate concern by the government about corruption regarding burisma. and he said they thoroughly investigated it and found absolutely no evidence. mr. trump is welcome to be here. he was welcome to be here. he was welcome to participate, his lawyers, so that if he has any information that would exonerate him about this he could present it at any time. he is not. now let's compare that to the fact that he has prohibited witnesses from coming before our committee and other committees. he has prevented documents from seeing the light of day. he has intimidated witnesses. so let's remember that he is doing absolutely everything possible to hide his wrongdoing. if he could prove otherwise, he would. now, compare that with the information that was created through the investigations. over 300 pages in a report, over -- or 17 witnesses, over 200 text me

[laughter] i said i'm tell you you're not getting billion dollar wibs you're not getting billion i'll be leaving there and i think six hours i look and saying i'm leaving in six hours the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting money

and i think joe biden showing some righteous anger about the way trump has gone after hunter biden hascally and it continues to illustrate the risk factor trump seems to feel that biden presents to him. i will say, though, that you got to constantly be on offense with trump. you can never try to defend yourself or clarify. you always have to go back right up into his grill. you always have to keep kicking. the minute you start attacking trump, you have to stay at it. republicans learned that lesson the hard way in 2016 where they would go on stage with one canned trump joke, and then he would do his insult comic thing for half an hour. toulgt you got to be always on him. it's incumbent upon biden to keep turning this back onto trump. >> our guests are all going to stay with us. anyone i didn't get to, i will get to in the next segment. we'll fit in another break. our conversation continues on the other side. for a different kind of drive. ♪ ladies and gentlemen for the drive to create a new kind of family car, that became a new kind of race car. for the drive to rebel, zag. for the dri

like the bidens. and it's very clear from mule approximate moult approximately witnesses exactly what he wanted to get from president zelensky. he wanted a statement on television that ukraine was investigating and was going to investigate vice president joe biden. and he wanted a statement contradicting the 2016 understanding by our intelligence committee and by special counsel mueller that there had been a sweeping and systematic campaign by russia to interfere and saying it was ukraine that interfered in our campaign. that's what he wanted. that was the big stuff. he didn't care about the russian war on the people of ukraine. he didn't care about corruption. they invite us to believe that donald trump is an anticorruption crusader. who was shaking down president zelensky about corruption. when he doesn't raise any corruption on that call except for what he believed was going on with the bidens, except that he reus to doed anticorruption funding for u krooin. he doesn't raise it anywhere else that w

before hunter biden was hired just a few weeks before he was hired, joe biden told the ukrainians ramp up your natural gas and what happen? happen? all of a sudden, his son got hired. he set it up by giving that speech to the prime minister and that farmer actually had the right script, joe biden is the one that doesn't have the facts right. >> sean: great and thank you. i am a talk show host emma we do straight reporting, we do investigative reporting, we do opinion, sports, culture. that is being part of the press. we have a free press, good job, thank you. and we also call sources, that's how you break stories. more reaction in the impeachment sprint, kevin mccarthy. good to see you again. i think you should be very proud of your team and you know when i've been critical of republicans, very loud about it. but this has been a moment where clarity, can you explain how the media and the democrats ignored the hunter-joe situation? >> they ignore almost everything and you have to remember here if i was a democrat and i was sitting in one of those 31 seats that president trump carried an

. >> joe biden. joe on, vice president biden is here today in peter's -- peterborough, we got to be a little bit louder. there we go. my name is jake, i amcharacter l integrity that we are going to need to repair the soul of this nation. from ohio andlly i grew up in an independent catholic family, so it really broke my heart, seeing a lot of family, friends, teachers, people who i look up to go support donald trump. they raise me to treat others the way you want to be treated, then they support a man like that. well, that is the antithesis of what joe biden is. he is a strong leader who has always looked out for those who need help to most, whether it is protecting victims of domestic violence with the violence helpingwomen act, or bring americans out of the 2008 recession with the american recovery act, joe biden has always looked out for those who need help the most. that is what we need in a commander in chief. that is who is going to be donald trump in november. but we cannot do that alone. if w

employed hunter biden. how much of the sleaze associated with hunter biden's gifter operations, how much will that taint joe biden. >> it depends who is going to talk about it. is donald trump going to talk about it? if he does someone will want to impeach him. i think fox should do more investigative reporting on its own. no one has shown any interest. look at china. china is a bigger story than the ukraine. look at what peter schweizer is coming out with. the real money is in china. go back to the ukraine. clearly, clearly, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that in that phone call that donald trump did not ask for political favors. if you don't believe him, investigate it. why isn't anyone reporting any investigation on this? maybe it's because they don't have anything. gregg: the bias and hatred of the mainstream media has absolutely blinded them to the responsibility as journalists. and i wrote an entire chapter in my book "witch hunt" about this, 54 pages filled with reporters and their stories for 2

, joe biden.hael, when we look forward to what kind of a trial this would be, assuming that they do get beyond the impeachment vote next week, and it goes to the floor, they report it to the senate, we're hearing from mitch mcconnell they want a very short trial, just may be the presentations by the managers on both sides and not even calling witnesses. michael? >> yes. absolutely right, andrea. as you were saying earlier it is very much within the hands of the senate majority leader after consultation with chuck schumer, obviously. and you know, the other thing is that one thing that is going to be interesting in the senate trial, we saw almost a preview of coming attractions this morning but one thing that tells you an awful lot is the articles of impeachment left out. you were talking earlier about the possibility that there might have been one or more additional articles based on the mueller report. think how different today that discussion would have been had that been true and same thing wit

what's your response to hunter biden? >> there have yet to produce any evidence that hunter biden has been involved at all in anything that has happened here. this is a man who went as a private citizen onto a board of a company in ukraine. what does that have to do with whether we should impeach the president? they are just trying to find witnesses to embarrass vice president, former vice president biden, because they see him as the front-runner for the nomination on the democratic side. >> and president trump claims this is unifying the republican party. his tweet today, the republican party has never been more unified. this impeachment scam is just a continuation of the three-year witch hunt, but it is only bringing us even closer together. and look, he has a point here, doesn't he? despite the facts here, despite witness after witness including the president's own million dollar donor saying there was a quid pro quo at the behest of the president of the united states himself, not one republican has said they will vote

however, hunter biden's role did not change and former vice president biden continued to lead the u.s. policy in ukraine. on this record, there is a legitimate basis that president trump to have concern about hunter biden's role on burisma's board. the prospect of some senior ukrainian official worked against president trump in the run-up to the 2016 election draws a visceral reaction from most democrats. let me say very, very clearly, election interference is not binary. i am not saying it was ukraine and not russia, i am saying that both countries can work to influence an election. a systemic coordinated russian interference effort does not mean that some ukrainian officials, some ukrainian officials did not work to oppose president trump's candidacy. that it did not make statements against president trump during the election. ambassador volker testified in his public hearing it is possible for more than one country to seek influence in more than one election. doctor hill testified likewise after public hearing contemporary noo news articles d how president trump's candidacy led wid

however, hunter biden's role did not change and former vice president biden continued to leadco u.s. policy in ukraine. on this record there is a legitimateco basis for presiden trump to have concern about hunternc biden's role on burisms board. the prospect that some senior ukrainian officials worked against president trump in the runup to the 2016 election draws an even more visceral reaction from most democrats. let me say very, very clearly that election interference is not binary. i'm not saying that it was ukraine and not russia. i'm saying that both countries can work to influence an election. a systemic coordinated russian interference effort does not meanff that some ukrainian officials, some ukrainian officials did not work to oppose president trump's candidacy, did not make statements against president trump during the election. ambassador volker testified in his public hearing that it is possible forng more than one country to seek influence in u.s. elections. dr. hill testified likewise at her public hearing. contemporaneous news articles in 2016 noted how president trum

but now going after biden who, in a lot of things, he agrees with biden on a lot of policy issues. this is his way of potentially moov moving up in the polls. >> he's been making the age argument. a lot of people, we've seen a bit of a trend at some of these biden events, protesters showing up. here is one interaction recently. [ inaudible ] >> how much money did you make in ukraine? >> i released 21 years of my tax returns. your guy hasn't released one. what's he hiding? just let him go. he's an idiot. as my mother would say, would you hush up for just a while? okay? be polite. >> so biden says "be polite" after he calls the guy an idiot. if voters didn't catch all of that. there's something a bit trumpian, right, about the way biden is interacting with some of these protesters, but again, he's also doing a call for the restoration of america's soul. >> he's remained pretty durable, actually, biden has. he's at the top of the poll. >> 28%. >> he's come under an onslaught of attacks by the president and folks around the president. you see more and more democrats unleashing on his d

biden: ok. >> welcome. mr. biden: thank you.t is good to be home. >> vice president biden, we are in a room full of teamsters and i want you to tell all of them here and all of them watching, why they should vote for you. but no malarkey.

there is a lot of talk about biden's son, that biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that. so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution. so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me. witnesses unanimously testified that there was no factual support for this claim. rather, they noted that vice president biden was acting in support of an international consensus and official u.s. policy to clean up the prosecutor general's office in ukraine. despite these facts, by the time of the july 25th call, mr. giuliani had been publicly advocating for these two investigations for months while also using back channels to press ukrainian officials to nashiate them in support of his client, donald trump. ambassador sondland understood mr. giuliani's role very clearly. he testified, mr. giuliani was expressing the desires of the president of the united states. and we knew these investigations were important to the president. to others, mr. giuliani was working at cross-purposes wit

clear lead for biden. if you look at the averages, all the numbers are pretty close by to where we have been speaking. joe biden has an edge but not substantial. he's a front-runner but vulnerable. >> holding steady. when you look at just favorability though and so you break the numbers down a little bit it shifts right? >> this is interesting to me. do you have a favorable or unfavorable view? we see that bernie sanders is the best liked. his favorable 74%. his net favorability rating plus 54 points. joe biden is down. i think what's so important in a primary, it's not just about being liked. it's about being moved. most of the dand dats are well liked by a majority of the folks. there's 52% who like both joe biden and bernie sanders. among those, joe biden leads by 20 percentage points. that i think is the key, is that biden is ask able to connect with those who like both he and bernie sanders. >> when you put them against trump, if the election were held today who would win? >> i think this is important

why should biden? >> lawrence: challenges in the court and separation of power. >> marie: the second question is, the senate trailers to judge president trump's behavior and soul of joe biden's behavior is not part of the impeachment article. >> lawrence: it but this is where the center of this started according to democrats because he wanted dirt on his opponent's home bring him in. but let's talk about joe biden because he flip-flopped. first he said he wasn't going to appear and then he said he was going to appear but he has a big problem. he still doesn't have an answer on the hunter biden thing. this dismissiveness will work with the mainstream media right now, but when you get on the general stage, you will have to answer to them. donald trump will go blow for blow. so he will keep the question until he's officially answered it. and you know, hunter's baby mama might get the answer before he does. >> i'm not sure that has anything to do with it, but we are about to start an impeachment trial on t

the biden campaign pushing back on a political report that biden has signaled that he would serve onlyerm if he was electedn 2020. quoting an advisory saying if biden is elected he's going to be 82 years old in four years and he won't be running for reelection. here's the former vice president's response when asked about that today by our own peter doocy. >> about a one term pledge. >> no, never have. >> martha: all right. the host of the american enterprise institute's podcasts and fox news contributor, austan goolsbee. he knows what's going on. let's start with you. this appeared to have come from someone in the campaign, that it's something they discussed that if he were elected he might only serve for one term. >> yeah, i don't know where that comes from. a lot of times there are trial balloons that floated and a lot of times there is just extraneous information that gets floated as if it's a fact. who knows. i think the downside of promising a one term thing is in no way, it kind of makes you a lame duck before you even get there. i would be surprised if they come out with that po

, biden is corrupt. can prove that, that makes everything okay. i don't think it actually works that way. the president going to his tweets, i went through his tweets for a project over the summer. >> i'm sorry. that's a dark place. >> but no. even before impeachment he had been tweeting even more darkly and just really going after lawmakers in a visceral way. it is not clear what's going on, whether he was just worked up at the end of the mueller investigation, but this is an ongoing trend for the last few months. >> jen, we have seen strange behavior. so much of it, we can't get to all of it, making fun of emotional displays of a teenage girl with asperger's, making fun of nancy pelosi's dentures. shared a tweet from rudy giuliani. the two men friday after giuliani returned from ukraine, among claims giuliani is making former pr former prosecutor says he was poisoned, died twice and is back. this is the president's lawyer. i mean, what? i think his followers or supporters are holding tight with him. al

joe biden gets in a heated exchange with a voter.welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm christine romans. >> happy friday, everybody. i'm dave briggs. december 6th. we're 59 days to the iowa caucuses and one step closer to impeachment. house speaker nancy pelosi has officially directed the judiciary committee to lay out the charges against the president in articles of impeachment. just hours ago, at a live cnn town hall, pelosi said the constitution and the facts are now clear. >> this is a very sad day, i think, for our country. it's something i would hope we could have avoided. but the president's actions made it necessary. you cannot violate the constitution in full view. >> here are the next steps in the process. the white house has until 5:00 p.m. this afternoon to decide whether they will participate in a hearing on monday. lawyers from the intelligence and judiciary committee will present their findings from investigations into the president. monday's hearing sets up a issue judiciary vote with a

or joe biden.heard from mr. goldman last week, and i asked him specifically if his committees had investigated that claim, that there was some legitimate concern by the government about corruption regarding barisma, and he said they thoroughly investigated it and found absolutely no evidence. mr. trump is welcome to be here. he was welcome to be here. he was welcome to participate. his lawyers. so that if he has any information that would exonerate him about this, he could present it at any time. he is not. now, let's compare that to the fact that he has prohibited witnesses from coming before our committee and other committees. he has prevented documents from seeing the light of day. he has intimidated witnesses. so let's remember that he is doing absolutely everything possible to hide his wrongdoing. if he could prove otherwise, he would. now, compare that with the information that was created through the investigations. over 300 pages in a report. over -- or 17 witnesses. over 200 text messages.

did it, this is proof that biden did it and this is proof that biden did it.s it change the case against the president? it wasn't the right way to adduce those claims from ukraine. >> and nobody knows that better than a former prosecutor, a former united states attorney in the southern district of new york. he knows if he is in possession of evidence of corruption, of misdeeds, of law breaking on the part of a u.s. citizen, the proper place for that evidence is, i'm sorry to say, not your show, but the department of justice. we have laws that prohibit american citizens from engaging in corrupt practices with foreign officials. if that happened, and to this date we don't have any information that it did, that should be given to the department of justice to be handled through our criminal justice system. >> when you're looking through the lens of what this means and rudy comes up on the call sheet with omb. now, they're saying that may be a bounced number. could have gone to different police stations. he may never have gone to omb. how strong does the case have,

>> i think it's already hurt biden. i don't think there's any excuse allowing your son to do business in the ukraine? >> when he has no experience in that sector. >> yeah, clearly hunter biden is a troubled soul. clearly joe biden is a wonderful father, but this is very difficult in a country now that's really sick of politicians self-dealing. >> yes. yeah, i think it will be a problem for biden and well and a legitimate one. >>> i've been asking democratic lawmakers who come on the show, asking if it would be worth it. they all say yes, because it was the right thing to do. i believe they believe that, but do you believe that it will have been the strategic thing to do if democrats suffer political for it? >> well, whether or not they suffer political, it was the right thing to do to investigate this guy. i have thought from the beginning that impeachment was a bridge too far. i think the investigations should continue. i am really curious about what's in those tax returns. >> sure. >> there are other things, you know,

the president asked for biden. and his perfect phone call. he asked for biden. concerned every one of the diplomats except morrison was this -- >> and volker. >> no, he thought it was really weird that this was becoming ability an american election. and thought it was dangerous. >> when volker was ask whether or not there was impeachable offense observed he said no. >> a legal conclusion at any trial? do you remember the lady -- really? you remember a witness being asked -- did you think it was robbery or burglary? >> look, these are people who interface with the national security apparatus regularly. ambassador volker. >> it's not their job. >> they have an ability to provide some context for the circumstances that have arisen. if given the context there was a severe concern on the part of everyone involved. you would hear the concerns from morrison. >> that's why they were testifying. >> all the people coming forward you can break down into categories, hearsay, conjecture and speculation or a legit policy disagreement. people like vindman who -- >> circumstant
