[♪] trish: we learned that the democrat in charge of the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, received an account of the whistleblower report days before it was filed. i'm trish regan. for the record, that kind of thing with the whistleblower, that's just not done. how can you be a whistleblower if you are liking your intel to a political party instead of just blowing the whistle? how can this person be trusted? this so-called whistleblower was providing an account of his or her second hand knowledge ahead of time to adamf'

. >> also tonight fred fleitz who called out house intel chairman adam schiff and his staff for theirof the so-called whistleblower. we'll take that up and find out whether or not schiff should have to leave his post as chair of innel. intel, all that more, at the top of the hour lizzy, hope everyone will have time to join us. elizabeth: lou dobbs, thank you so much. >> thank you. elizabeth: with us now, fox news contributor deneen abou baba we. >> what did you think of that today? >> he signed an executive order in regards to medicare, he is looking out for americans and for those who are on -- use medicare. and he is looking for ways to preserve medicare. to cut down on waste, fraud and abuse, also because you have 2020 presidential candidates who want to provide socialized medicine for all americans, that is another reason why the president signed the executive order to protect the current form the medicare, also to help enhance it. elizabeth: important point you made, 2020 democrats would rip apart and do away with medicare as it exists now with single payer, i don't know that ame

tomorrow night among our guests will be mark morgan, fred fleitz and charlie turt.nk you for joining us tonight. we look forward to you joining us tomorrow. see you tomorrow night. good night from new york. trish: tempers running high in the gop as frustrated republicans on capitol hill storm earn intelligence committee meeting. they are accusing democrats of going to extraordinary lengths to hide their so-called impeachment investigation into the president of the united states. house republicans trying to gain access to a closed door hearing. they wanted to listen to testimony from a pentagon official. their frustration stems from concern that democrats are trying to effectively build their own narrative with planted leaks from these closed door hearings. >> behind those

fred fleitz was on earlier and said he had never seen a whistleblower complaint white done to that levelhis highly coordinated. was this someone who didn't like the president? >> either the whistleblower -- i use the whistleblower in quotations. trish: you are not blowing a whistle if you are talking to them before it happens. >> you earn that title by the information you give. either there is yinl tent on the person who gave the information, and that's subjective. we have to find out. then there is the i will intent of the leaker. the ultimate leaker who leaked the whistleblower coming to make the complaint, we should never know about the whistleblower until it's run its course through the system. when they say we have to protect the whistleblower. what about protecting the president. what about protecting the institution that the president has to maintain. a constitutional responsibility for foreign policy? trish: one of the things i was most of shocked by is nancy pelosi was willing to come out before reading the memo of the transcript and say she was watching this impeachment -- laun

and also his perspective on this new development we have the president's former deputy assistant fred fleitzconference yesterday. >> we wanted to have you back. i'm glad you're here now. put on your investigator hat for a second. the idea of after the call people scrambling, talking to lawyers about how to clear it up, basically evidencing what we saw from acting ambassador taylor in terms of, hey, are we really conditioning this aid on this deal with biden? and then we know that moves forward to a point where the energy secretary comes back from ukraine, says to the president, i think you should work with guy in ukraine, i think he's legit, wants to do right. the president says go to rudy, convince him, you get my okay. what's your take? >> i see a very biased process here that is not following press detective, but i'm more concerned that the democrats are trying to impeach a sitting president using a secret witness that the american people will not be allowed to hear from in a secret hearing where his appearance and voice will be obscured so the republicans cannot learn who this person is

but i took on that whistle-blower theory tonight about fred fleitz, smart guy. goes on state tv all the time fanning the flames. even though we have the transcript so the whistle-blower is kind of secondary, if they're going to make something relevant, i'm going to test it on the show because you have to show what people are taking in and forming their opinions on, and that's a big narrative. >> since when, as i leave you, has anyone who has ever tried to have a favor, who is in a public position said, hey, listen, this is a quid pro quo right now? i need you -- did you get that? do you hear what i'm saying? that's not how it's done. nobody -- not even the dumbest person does anything like that. >> i do like it as a nickname, though. i'd like to go by quid pro cuomo. i'd like to get something back, especially where you're involved because you're tight as two coats of paint. but i'll tell you this. they're only saying the quid pro quo thing because they want to say you can't make this bribery and you can't make this treason and that is the standard. it's not the
