joe concha writes for the hill newspaper. hen forcing his kids to do the same, i mean, is there any politician in the world who could get away with that in the way that justin trudeau did? >> no politician, not even me. i have a 5 and 4-year-old i'm pretty sure i would never do that i'm trying to picture a world, tucker, where the president of this country is -- they unearth some photos from 15, 20 years ago of him in blackface and then another and then another and then i wonder well, would the press be as forgiving with him as they are with trudeau. it's rhetorical friday so you don't have to answer that but, in terms of the press coverage, tucker, cnn, here's one headline from just tonight. justin trudeau hugged supporters and takes selfie in canada's most ethnically diverse city amid blackface scandal bbc justin trudeau candidate pm seeks to put blackface scandal behind him. it seems that the media is trying to put it behind him as well. what's missing here while there is coverage, i don't see the is that correct, and i don

we will have the opening tmonologue coming up.we have tr the hill, joe concha is with us. joe, what's amazing about this is, number one, we had to wait-2 years to get to the truth that we were being peddles a lie. the biggest story of abuse of power and corruption was missed. but in this case, somebody's life is in jeopardy here with absolutely no fact-checking on their side at all. i mean, they have to have the cia do this, to have theseve gus pull up to try to save his lifes thanks to msnbc conspiracy is here to re, msdnc, and fake news cnn, telling a fake story. when do they ever get held accountable, if ever? >> joe: as you said, sean, there are possible deadly ramifications that could be at stake here. as catherine mentioned and you tmentioned, for the cia to come out and make a public statementy report, calling it misguided because the story was that egregious, i've never seen thatg out. overall, you've got to look at the big picture here.they've lie officials during the trump administration alone. their last hire was andrew mccabe who only lied about leaking to the

joe johns. we'll begin there at the white house and then to lauren fox on capitol hill. i mean, joe, the president called for the outing of a confidential whistleblower last night. he said that adam schiff may have committed treason last night and proposed his potential arrest this morning and accused another u.s. official of spying. >> right. and, you know, in the big picture, the 30,000 foot view we're all looking to see how the president and his allies, even his personal attorney, are going to defend the president as this impeachment inquiry moves forward, and treason, of course, one of the words the president has thrown around before, not always accurately, but there are some other things that president tweeted over the weekend. there you see that one, adam schiff, the chairman of the intelligence committee, made up a fake and terrible statement and goes on talking about the ukrainian president and says that it bore no relationship to what he said on the call. that's referring to the statement by adam schiff before the intelligence committee as things kicked off last

media reporter for "the hill," joe concha. joe, on the media side of this, they don't want the truth. this is now -- they've gotten away with three years of lying and letting it go, moving onto the next group of lies. so why would they change? >> yeah, i'm surprised after two and a half years of the mueller investigation and russia collusion and everything that went into that reporting, which was just, when you look back at it, reckless speculation, using flimsy sources, one source, nefarious sources that were surprised but what we are seeing here from "the new york times." the question now, sean, why hasn't anyone of importance at "the new york times" made any verbal statements over one of the biggest editorial debacles this publication has seen, perhaps since the jayson blair fiasco? because the "times" always preaches about speaking truth to power, speaks about transparency from the leaders and the people of cover. they need to be transparent here in terms of how this story got to print in the first place, and right now, th

joe concha writes media for "the hill." he joins us tonight. joe, is that fair?n't some rogue reporter, tucker, that just writes a story and there it goes, out, published. there is a vetting system. and the vetting system starts with the senior editor you just mentioned. she has a job tonight. and by the way, she only put out a statement, an op-ed, basically, explaining what happened. and we hear about news organizations, publications, demanding transparency from people in power that they cover. i agree with that completely. but, in this case, she should be answering questions right now in terms of why is she okayed it and why this reporter was thrown under the bus, because he very easily, tucker, could have been on order saying why don't you look into his social media history? look, as a writer and reporter myself, if an editor tells you to do something, you do it. when you estimate a story, the editor can either pull that out or put it in. either way, it shouldn't be completely your responsibility while the editors get away with zero responsibility. >> tucker:

joe concha writes about media for the hill, he joins us tonight. hing changed in the past couple of weeks? is off the record no longer a category that journalists have to observe? >> as you mentioned, tucker that is a commandment that should never be broken. it's like vegas, what happens in vegas stays in vegas. when you have an off-the-record conversation with a reporter, it is understood as long as the parties establish beforehand that this is an off-the-record conversation that is not going to be mentioned, it's not going to be published, it's not going to be talked about in any capacity. it's like seeing your psychiatrist or a priest during confession. it's not supposed to get out. and in this case, there was also some other reporters there as well. reporters from bloomberg and reuters and the "wall street journal" and then phil rutger who you mentioned from "the washington post. it can't be confirmed, however, that rutger actually burned this source here in madeline westerhaut that's what a lot of sources are reporting now. i can't confirm that

want to bring in steve clemons he's washington editor at large for the hill he joins us live from washington d.c. some of the joe biden's to writing about the other candidates so far in the polls but how but he's coming under increasing pressure from all sides in this debate tonight how's he performing and can he stay out in front do you think. well we don't know how people are going to read you know seeing this performance where hujan castro and others just tried to kind of you know bully him up and beat him hard at the beginning you had people to judge any clothes which are kind of come to his defense and so maybe the sense that there was a bit of unfair play may actually play to his advantage because joe biden plays well with americans who feel like they've been left behind and they want to feel like somebody is emotionally on their side that's joe biden strength but what happened tonight which i think would be worrying the biden camp is that he stumbled a lot he got a lot of framing wrong i've been listening to the debates the night is even talked about areas he knows very well particularly foreign policy ev

joe biden. what "the hill"'s john solomon reminds us today, the democrats, when hillary was running for president used dirt from ukraine to attack trump. so this goes back a way -- a lot of people, apparently ukraine is this, has this hoard of dirt on u.s. politicians because it is, some of them have been making money there. this thing has been going on for a long time? >> yeah. we've also seen john solomon also reported that chris murphy, senator chris murphy of connecticut was placing pressure on ukraine earlier this month to, that they might be putting their own aid from the united states at risk if they don't follow the actions that he is asking of them. so this is a big deal. look, you mentioned the russia investigation, how long that thing stretched on the way it played out. this feels very similar at outset. there is a mystery. a lot of scandal what the president may or may not have done but we don't very clear answers. we do know his political opponent engaged in very real action when it involved the country in question. david: we know it is holding up a lot of other stuff. before the ukr

if he did say you need to investigate joe biden and his son, while talking about $250 million in ukraine, is that a problem that will lead to something on capitol hillreful and review what supposedly was going on here. here's the president who has had this fixation that ukraine has to investigate joe biden, who isn't just some random dude. he's probably going to be his political opponent for reelection in 2020. at the same time, he's pressuring the president, the new president of this democracy, he's got his hands on $250 million in military aid, without which ukraine might not be able to survive. that is a high pressure situation. and not exactly the most appropriate use of presidential authority. that is the connection. i'm telling you, that is the worst-case scenario and that is why this is a serious matter. what i would like to hear the national intelligence director at this hearing, be as candid as he possibly can about why he didn't want to let this whistle-blowers ig report go to congress, which has a legal right to have. >> it's unlikely because the inspector general came up to the intelligence committee this week and said nothing. the presi

. >> joe: by the way, andrew mccabe's famous testimony on capital hill, without the steele dossier, there is no flies a warrant. andrew mccabe knew that steele dossier was false and fraudulent, unverified, and completely unverifiable, and yet, he went along with using it in the fisa court. see when i'm going to put that poll up one of these days. >> victoria: no, don't do that. we love each other. >> sean: both friends of mine. thank you. now after three years of lies, slander, and nonstop hysteria, the department of justice is now riding that ship. truth, facts, sanity, are now making a comeback. without a reckless conspiracy theory to push, and mueller didn't deliver the goods they want to, democrats are tearing apart at the seams. nancy pelosi is very angry at the judiciary chairman jerry nadler. he has given into his radical base, launched a very sloppy impeachment proceeding against the president, really for no reason at all. without an official reason for the basis of the impeachment. we saw yesterday, corey lewandowski owned and embarrassed everyone of those house democrats at the

did not investigate donald trump's political rival former vice president joe biden so that's what is the big issue on capitol hill right now but you see the president there trying to spin it and characterize it as something quite different than what democrats allege and that is that the crux of the story is a misuse of presidential power so the democrats just to go back to the point of the actual phone conversation which was sort of referenced by the 2 leaders there the democrats view is that there was enough in that transcript a memo. that came from the white house there is enough there to show that don't trump was. what he was inferring i guess in the east with with the ukrainian president. yes the white house has released a transcript or not a transcript but a sort of a a memo detail in the conversation one that we believe has been edited the feeling is is that this in fact well doesn't express lee state that the president held this contingent this aide that what he did was he implied or inferred that it would only be subject to an investigation of former or current rival of donald trump's namely joe biden who

because you're going to see a lot of focus still on joe biden, a lot of focus on capitol hill. a real recognition of the fact that this race is indeed changing. you've seen the vice president on the fundraising trail out here on the west coast. but it is in those fundraisers of where we get a sneak peek which is, one, that the president is trying to take away from the issues that matter. they think that this idea of scrapping obamacare in favor of starting from scratch something that may result in the raising of middle class taxes is something that will hurt elizabeth warren the more that the conversation is there going forward. >> mike, great reporting as always. thank you my friend. mike memoli on the trail with joe biden in las vegas. the white house is in, quote, total panic over the house's impeachment inquiry. while that could mean bad news for president trump, who stands to gain from it? joe biden's campaign as we just heard from mike hopes it's him and sent out a fundraising email yesterday with this image attached. just imagine what joe biden must be thinking in this p

former vice president joe biden's campaign now mulling a new tax on wall street according to "the washington post." fox business's hillary vaughn is live on capitol hillhillary? reporter: melissa up until now joe biden has been able to pitch himself as the voice of fiscal reason compared to progressives that are trailing him in the polls. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren who both have a lot of expensive ideas and high tax plans to go along with it but that all could change because biden campaign advisors tell "the washington post" he is thinking about about a wealth tax, something bernie and warren have been campaigning on from day one. biden may be jumping on the bandwagon. his new tax on wall street advisors say they are thinking about rolling out could include a tax on financial transactions, selling stocks and bonds. that would impact 55% of americans that own stock according to gallup. that does not go as far as bernie sanders plan which has four different ways he wants to tax the rich. starting 1% for households over 32 million to as high as 8% on 10 billion-dollar fortunes. biden's plan would ways taxes on 70,000 households including assets

they sparred over this a little bit when joe biden was vice president and elizabeth warren was on the hillat could be a little bit of shadow boxing for what we're going to see on the debate stage. these are the best laid plans, maybe not getting into a punching match with joe biden or the other candidates on the stage. what we've seen is sometimes the best laid plans can go awry. >> what about the best laid plans for joe biden? what are they and can he execute? >> hallie, i'm reminded what one biden adviser said, everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face. the official line from the biden campaign advisors i've been talking to, as much as we want to make this about a two-person event, elizabeth warren versus joe biden, there are ten people on the debate stage and they expect some of the incoming for the former vice president and frontrunner in the race is likely to come from some of the others on the stage. that doesn't mean he's not going to try to stick to his plan, stay above it all and remind democratic voters what are his core strengths. shadow boxing is a good word, for

joe biden. tell us what you've learned. >> on capitol hill, there is one thing sacred. they expect it to go and be used in the way they appropriated it. of course there was nearly $400 million in ukrainian military aid. and by the end of the summer in late august, it became clear that this aid had still not gone out. and that concerned members. there were members of appropriations, members of foreign relations, members of armed services, and of course the majority leader mitch mcconnell making calls himself about what was going on with this military aid. there had been some concern that mulvaney was trying to slash some money over the summer in what was known as a rescissions package. but after it was clear that package was not going to go through and the money was still being held up, members of congress had a lot of concerns. in fact, they were preparing an amendment over an offense appropriations bill basically to release the money and force future years' administrations to release the money on time. right before that appropriations markup is especially when the admi

runner, clarence thomas hearing in 1991, reportedly did not believe that hill's sexual misconduct allegations. that man, of course, is joe biden. that is one of several allegations in a new report called high-tech lynching. here's a preview. >> biden told me personally that he didn't believe it. he said, "i don't know why she did this." joe told me he didn't believe her. a lot of people told me that too. >> they were in love is my view. at one point, not in a carnal way or salacious way, i think that they were very much a thing. >> i don't know if he did all those things. she said he did. he didn't dominic said he didn' didn't. that to me tilted in the favor of justice thomas. >> i said, ted come what you think happened? >> he said, i think those two people were very heavy with each other. i think they had a very close relationship. i think part of it might have been. >> he was a wreck during this whole time. just a wreck. physically, emotionally wreck. and he said to me, jack, you know what this is? it's a lynching. and i said to him, "clarence, if that's the way you feel." >> let's just be clear here. clarence thomas d

everything the democrats on capitol hill are running off and describing come of president joe biden braggedwhich is liquid pro quot. >> sean: wouldn't help the president to release a transcript? >> vice president pence: that would be a decision for the president to make. conversations with leaders around the world that are candid, that are open. for leaders to be concerned in the future that a conversation that the president might make its way into the public, would undermine the ability of the president to have those discussions in the future. so another president would like to do it. i know he's looking at all the circumstances. but the american people can be confident that the president spoke about issues that are of interest to american taxpayers. there was no quid pro quo. >> sean: was no quid pro quo. now tomorrow, we focus in on this very specific issue. we had a wide range of topics. we talked about the 2020 democrat. the escalating situation. how we dealt with iran. i asked him the one thing that maybe people don't know about president trump that he could tell us is vice president.

hill gearing up for the acting spy chief to testify. >> no push. no pressure. no nothing. >> the president defiant, despite asking ukraine for a favor, investigate joe biden. and he offered to get the attorney general involved. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "early start." i'm christine romans. >> good morning. good morning to all of you, i'm dave briggs. thursday, september 26th, 4:00 a.m. in the nation's capital, a busying event, leading to the whistleblower report, on president trump's call, to the ukrainian president has been declassified. it will be released as early as this morning. one lawmaker called it alarming. it contains more dimensions than first reported. and it will likely lead for calls for trump aides to testify. t"the washington post" reported new details of the complaint. cnn has lerned the anonymous whistleblower has agreed to testify, provided h h ed his la get security clearance to attend. trump repeatedly urged the president zelensky to investigate joe biden. the acting national intelligence, thrust before into this custody before lawmakers. mcgwire denies that. >> reporter: good morning. jo

of national intelligence, the top intelligence official, up here on capitol hill tomorrow for public testimony. the reason joe maguire matters is because he made the call not to share the information and the full report of the whistle-blower with congress. so they want to drill down on that. the other issue i would say on this particular matter is the fundamental question really to me at this point is why wasn't the inspector general in the intelligence community deciding to ring the bell on this complain when they did not have access to the transcript and the whistle-blower did not have first hand knowledge of the phone call? you know these i.g.s get hundreds of complaints from individuals who have documents or have first-hand knowledge of what they allege to be corrupt activity. so what was it that made the icig ring the bell and escalate this matter so it's gotten to the pipeline with that very tight timeline that we've seen play out over the last month. >> dana: as you are always able to do, you zero in on what is the question that needs to be answered. that's the one. we don't have the answer yet. we're

to investigate his political rival, joe biden acting director of national intelligence, joseph maguire testified before the house intelligence committee on capitol hillington today saying this complaint is unprecedented for more on all of these developments we're joined now by our political analyst michael yaki michael thanks for joining the big there's a lot to go through what what are the big take away from today. i think today's hearing really serve more as a backdrop to illustrate the fact that the whistleblower complaint in the details of it we're drop this morning and i think one thing that was important as a director the dni saying he would protect that was a blur because that sets up stage 2, which is will the whistleblower testify in public before the house intelligence committee so the complaint was really the news today and what came out of that complaint what did you take away from that that you think is significant in some pertains to the inquiries. well i think that this is where you start thinking about watergate a little bit because this is gone not just from. the president did and whether it was extortion or. personal favorite is and

we expect thursday this week joe mcguire will be on capitol hill, as well. we're talking about transcripts. we don't know if they're there. what will happen this week on capitol hill? >> the first thing is, as you refer yet another contest between house democrats and the white house. it's interesting that there will be testimony before the house and senate this week. but that's the instant question. will the white house allow the release of the original whistle blower complaint, which they haven't yet. the subject of it and the rough contents of it are now pretty well known, including to the house committees that want it. they want to see the actual thing. will people be either compelled to testify in person or will a transcript of this phone call be provided? i mean, i agree with nick burns there is a transcript. there always is. it's a question of how good it is and where it is and whether they let it out. >> all right. >> obviously a huge story with many angles to sort through. what can congress do about this? a lawmaker will join us in a little bit. pete

. >> tonight joe biden is speaking out after the hearing on capitol hill, the former vice president atornia fund-raiser saying president trump was trying to, quote, hijack an election by asking the ukraine help for an investigation that trump would like to get foreign help to win elections. this as trump says biden and democrats are doing this just for politics. >> the democrats are going to lose the election. they know it. that's why they're doing it. >> out front now, 2020 democratic presidential congressman beto o'rourke. i appreciate your time. the democrats are going to lose, they know it. that's why they're doing this. is that what this is about for you? >> no. this is about the future of this country and saving our democracy at the moment that it's on the line. if we set this precedent that some people are above the law because of the position of power or public trust that they hold then any hope of being able to keep this republic, this democracy together is lost forever. so this is the moment, if there ever was one, for members of congress both republican and democrat to put t

we have the real story and that is we have a sleepy creepy, crazy joe who has serious explaining to do. new documents obtained by the hills investigative reporter john solomon may ruin his chances of ever becoming president. i'd say the odds are high. the material that we are about to show you tonight clearly demonstrates his blatant abuse of power and corruption in the country of ukraine. in other words, a quid pro quo, a real quid pro quo and abuse of power and corruption at an extraordinarily high level with a lot of money at stake and a pay to play scheme and a subsequent cover-up. all in an effort that would allow his son to walk away scot-free very rich and capitalize off of him being the vice president while he was vice president. of course, stop a criminal investigation and he used your money to do it. we now have evidence he has been lying to we the american people. it's the russia collusion conspiracies except this time we don't have to wait three years to get to the truth and the hoax, that which donald trump was innocent of. great irony is democrats, they are once again as the ones guilty of it. john solomon w
