so who at linsky. anyone who does politics knows that if they are trying to figure out where a country at going, you start it's the leadership. he at a highly successful comedian, and businessman. he at quite smart. i've only met him once. he met him in february. this was before he had turned his attention to issues it's president. i mentioned that investors who saw him at that time, were underwhelmed about his command of issues, saw him six weeks later his and they were equally impressed. the guy at very smart. i think it at safe to say that up until the time actually up until some.after he decides to run for the presidency, he wasn't paying great detailed attention to major political and economic issues. but of course, he wasn't smart ukrainian growing up in the ukraine and he was absorbing this. i think probably most of you move he came from and east of ukraine. we all move about the differences and parts of the population in ukraine between east and west. i think those differences are often exagger

didn't know it was going to happen and feel whatever happens are that's the story from president so linsky again and i want to talk about the sort of the story from president truong and his reaction today to take a listen to what he said earlier it's that this race to our country it's another way john here we go again what these guys are doing democrats are doing just as god theory is it is great and it shouldn't be allowed they should be a way of stopping it maybe illegally through the courts they don't want to talk about lowering drug prices they don't want to talk about anything because they're fixated and said nancy pelosi has been hijacked by the radical left and everybody knows that. it's again and he wants this to be purely partisan. is it well 1st of all there's a couple things to say in response to what trump said there the 1st thing is that palosi was not necessarily hijacked by the far left within her party part of the reason that she came out in favor of an impeachment inquiry is because the moderates started coming out at the beginning of the week in favor of that inquiry the

rob: we know what was said during the july phone call between the president and president the linsky which sparked this in the first place. what exactly are the take aways from what we know at this point? former federal prosecutor robert ray, you -- who knows what people were meeting. seems everybody was reading two different things depending what party you were in. what did you make of this five page phone call we already yesterday? >> if we are talking about impeachment inquiry the phone call does not make out a high crime or misdemeanor and despite what you heard from the democratic party it doesn't lead to a conclusion, no treason, no bribery, the federal bribery statute doesn't apply to foreign government officials, no extortion because there was no quid pro quo and ultimately the whistleblower complaint made its way to the justice department and it didn't constitute an illegal campaign contribution not the least of which because they found asking a foreign government official to consider an investigation does not constitute anything of value. rob: that what democrats were harpi

days the whole exchange of these prisoners of 70 people was boris hanging on this one person and linsky had made discontent because for him the 24 sailors ukrainian seemless were imprisoned here in russia were captured last year in the coach trade was an important victory he promised to bring them back home during his election and campaign and he managed to fulfill his promise so now the way is open for negotiation still as a possible meeting of the so-called normandy group which consists of germany france ukraine and russia maybe even this month already we know negotiations about what's happening in eastern ukraine and a possible real peace solution for that area could be discussed but what this whole exchange shows and also did the lays that have happened is that the. bargaining position of russia and of president putin is very strong and that they hope that of course the concessions will come from the ukrainian side as the foreign ministry in moscow has put it they say selenski has shown to be a sensible person who is willing to compromise we heard from vladimir sort because a little

demands for answers also featuring ukraine they say trump russia the ukrainian president vladimir linsky into finding dirt on biden and that means impeachment we are seeing a real shift here on capitol hill when it comes to the question of impeachment some democrats trying to ramp up talk including to impeachment would be a potential avenue to deal with this leaders with the blower accusation there are people who can give our answers to both sides and those people work in the ukrainian government but they have their own dilemma of picking a team in this election dogfight but given the choice between the sitting president and a possible future candidate they seemed to play it safe preferable it was more i know what the conversation was about and i don't think there was any pressure the conversation was varied leaders have the right to discuss any problems that exist the discussion was long friendly and it touched on a lot of topics including those requiring serious solutions providing those serious answers for the troubled ministration could mean an investigation into a void and a man who

it's a very very important 1st step and president linsky said it was one of his birthdays in fact the top priority was to get the prisoners back in jail and create from the very beginning even before we can president that i'm going to improve relations with russia and that's not that's a perfectly now and in fact he's done it so therefore changing president in ukraine has improved environment and who he from old words they can start talking work to do you hans republics and make progress there russia going to rule of law in the west especially in the united states saying you can renegotiate with russia. because they have their position and they don't give it up and literally go this is a demonstration that russia can negotiate it wishes to improve relations with ukraine and hopefully this will spread throughout europe this is the 1st step russia russia has made concessions. cringes made concessions and that's very important for the international management. to more world news the u.s. state department has confirmed it attempted to bribe the captain of the uranian oil tanker the adrian

wrongdoing during a phone call between the president and his ukrainian counterpart lot and we were linsky it is the latest in a slew of impeachment attempts mr trump has faced since he took office in january 27th to. the walls feel like they're closing in on the trumpet ministration right now and i'm not sure they can hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it will trump on the walls are closing in on the trump white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast. as you remember the democrats it was mostly dominated by a debunked russian collusion probe our senior correspondent. being taking a closer look at the moves against president. if you're a democrat the hardcore liberal type you knew in your heart the trump would be brought down the only question was how long it would take just needed a reason and come on there were plenty no people put their money on the trump russia collusion story trea

me go back to charles we had a prisoner exchange with russia and ukraine with the new presidents i linsky in ukraine what is that significance is it a putting a marker down to move forward or is it just kind of like putting a flag up the pole and see if anybody salutes go ahead charles. that's a good way to put it peter of course it's possible in a way to be both. what we've got is a situation here i think where again we've often seen in the past not just in ukraine but in other areas careers are perhaps an example of this where once the big powers stay out of things where all the or the west particularly let's say for example when we had the minsk agreements that was largely done at the behest of russia ukraine france and germany they excluded for example the u.k. and the u.s. from those negotiations and from that process and a peace agreement or cease fire not perfect but one was able to be achieved and we've got a similar situation here where russia and ukraine together have got their differences put aside on this particular issue and have produced some progress which is sunny's produc

whistleblower doesn't have firsthand knowledge of the phone calls between donald trump and president is a linsky of ukraine. the president and white house aides debating whether to release a transcript of that call. donald trump says it is fine to talk to foreign leaders about corruption admitting he spoke to ukraine's president about joe and hunter biden on july 25th, he says it was nothing more than business as usual. >> supporting a country, we want to make sure the country is honest, you don't talk about corruption why would you give money to a country that is corrupt? >> he insists there was no quid pro quo when it came to military aid to ukraine. >> did you tell ukrainian leaders if they investigated joe biden? >> now i did not make a statement that you have to do this or i'm not going to give you anything. i wouldn't do that. >> that transcript of a at the center of a raging debate in washington. democrats demanding to see it. >> what is the latest from the director of national intelligence on this transcript issue? >> lawyers are telling fox news they are not handling the whistleblower c

the linsky. officials were restricted from access to all phone calls due to security concerns. specifically they cite calls with australia and mexico and administration officials focus on identifying the leaker, in this new video by them, eager to identify the person who leaked information to the whistleblower. did in the old days with spies, we used to have them differently. >> i don't consider them to be spies that anyone who leaks conversations that are has -- classified are not to be working in the government and i hope you are watching, whoever you are. >> the whistleblowers a cia employee who was at some point details on assignment over to the white house. sources tell fox news they served on the staff of the national security council. on twitter the president reiterated his claim that he or she only had secondhand information, an allusion to the fact whistleblower didn't hear the conversation with the ukrainian president but was told about it afterwards. another thing, administration officials scrambling to explain rudy giuliani's involvement in all of this. a key elemen

later today donald trump is scheduled to meet with ukrainian president the linsky at the un and they will face questions about this controversy about the july phone call. >> a break down from washington, thank you. rob: republican slamming democrat for going after the president before even seeing transcript of the ukraine phone call. >> senator lindsey graham says it is too early to make a judgment. >> the only reason they are trying to impeach the president is they don't believe they can be him at the ballot box and trying to destroy him. no evidence donald trump tried to intimidate the ukraine with military aid unless they investigated biden. there's nothing here but there's a lot here when it comes to biden. did he have a conflict of interest when he threatened to withhold aid to the ukraine unless they fired a prosecutor looking at his son? that needs to be looked at. was very reasons withhold aid to the ukraine after this election apart from biden? a lot of people in dod were worried about this administration, we don't know how close they are to russia. heather: a political figh

ukraine's new president vladimir the linsky says he wants to revive peace negotiations with russia he's been courting european leaders recently rooted in their own ski have already spoken by phone the prisoner exchange could be an important and if step towards further dialogue and to simmons . well let's talk not just advice and he's joining us live from moscow this step this give us an indication of how significant this swap actually is. well this is in fact the 1st positive move between the 2 countries since the conflict started in 2014 and basically the move that the ukrainian filmmaker aleck sense of who was sentenced to 20 years in prison here in russia went on a significant hunger strike for a long time has now returned home to ukraine is seen as a major concession by russia by vladimir putin and it also shows that putin is keen on negotiating with selenski the new president in ukraine but he had to get something in return as you already mentioned flight immediate say mark he is seen as a very important witness in the mh 17 case the downing of the. airline at a malaysian airliner

complaint, did not have firsthand knowledge of the conversation between donald trump and vladimir the linskynd telling us in the complaint that was filed it was made clear the whistleblower was not on that phone call and somehow learned about it after the fact. ahead of the july call in which donald trump encouraged ukraine to investigate business dealings a former vice president joe biden's son the white house, with $250 million in the military aid to ukraine, the united nations, donald trump denies there was any quid pro quo and argued this was the latest witchhunt by the democrats. >> did you tell the ukrainian leader they would have made if they investigated joe biden's family? >> know i didn't, i did nothing to say you had to do this or i would not do that. everybody knows this is a democrat witchhunt, here we go again. they failed with russia and recession and everything. now they are bringing this up. >> reporter: democrats are demanding access to the whistleblower complaint, to hear directly from the person who filed it and the administration is refusing to turn over a copy of the co

presidents a linsky either to establish himself at home as a friend of the president of the most powerful nation on earth had at least two objectives. get a meeting with the president and get more military help. and so what happened on that call? zelinski begins by ingratiating himself and he tries to enlist the support of the president. he expresses interest in meeting with the president and says his country wants to acquire more weapons from us to defend itself. and what is the president's response? it reads like a classic organized crime shakedown. its rambling character and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the president communicates. we've been very good to your country. very good. no other country has done as much as we have. but you know what? i don't see much reciprocity here. i hear what you want. i have a favor i want from you though. and i'm going to say this only seven times so you better listen good. i went you to make up dirt on my political opponent understand, lots of it. on this and on that. i'm going to put you in touch with people, not just any people. i

tomorrow, a whole lot more information, the president will sit down one on one with the linsky on the sidelines of the un. >> a lot more tomorrow in the next chapter. thank you very much. despite sending month on so-called impeachment hearings democrats today declaring, nancy pelosi's decision to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into the president a historic step. what democrats started today will actually result in donald trump being removed from office, here is why. the house judiciary committee must vote articles of impeachment out of the committee, democrats 24-17 majority but no plans to do that because it is still in the form of an impeachment inquiry but the articles would go to the democratically controlled house. a simple majority needed to impeach the president but he's not removed at that point because then the matter would go to the senate for an impeachment trial. there are 53 republicans in the senate, none of them have supported impeachment, democrats have to convince 20 republicans to convict donald trump to reach a 2 thirds majority needed to remove him from office

connecticut senator chris murphy said to linsky told him he believed the aid was cut out because refused to launch such an investigation. senator murphy said "there is an implicit threat and every demand that united states president makes of a foreign power." house speaker nancy pelosi is reportedly consulting with democratic lawmakers on whether to impeach trump over the mounting scandal. the british supreme court ruled that prime minister boris johnson's suspension of parliament is unlawful. brenda hale, head of the supreme court, said it was not justified and has no effect. it's not yet known what action boris johnson, who is in new york for the u.n. . general assembly, will take in response to the historic ruling. britain, france, and germany saidid in a joint statement mony iran was responsible for attacks on saudi oil facilities earlier this month. last week,k, saudi arabia alsoso said the a attacks were unquestionably s sponsored by iran." iranan has denied theyerere responsible for the attacks, which have been claimed by yemen's houthi rebels. iranian president hassan -- trump is

reference to the july 25th phone call in which president trump asked ukrainian president well it was a linsky to initiate that investigation into trump's potential political rival joe biden and his son now trump has lashed out on twitter throughout the day defending that phone call in his words he said it was perfect is that it could not have been better or more honorable and he accused the media and the democrats and congress of working together to target him for what he calls a witch hunt he also called for the immediate resignation of the chairman of the house intelligence committee adam schiff who is now the person leading the investigation into trump's dealings with ukraine mariyam. the outrage of the reaction continues to mount president alleged conduct here was of the inquiry itself because congress is now in a 2 week recess how are the democrats pursuing their investigations. most of congress is indeed in recess but now the members of the house intelligence committee which again is spearheading the impeachment inquiry investigation they are remaining here in washington and they are re

some cases by social justice warriors or it's in their dna to that they were in alliance with saul linskyhicago. so we give money every thanksgiving as part of the national campaign and as i said before people are under the impression that this is going and staying in their neighborhood when it's being sent abroad and then it's like this vicious cycle. it's like this money-laundering machine . and it's not just the catholic church. i talk about the lutheran immigrants and refugees services. this is one of thevoluntary agencies , and the beltway, the vernacular has one of these exclusive refugee resettlement contracts and they're responsible for bringing johan omar and her family here. and they're largely responsible for transforming the twin cities into the biggest breeding ground for jihad plots that are not only taking place here domestically but of course many of these young men were brought here and there toddler years for their early elementary school years now going back to somalia and killing their own people or targeting american soldiers. so i find it highly ironic that you have

ukraine's new president little me is the linsky says he wants to revive peace negotiations with russia he's been courting european leaders recently. have already spoken by phone and the prisoner exchange could be an important and if step towards further dialogue and to simmons . u.k. prime minister boyce johnson has accused his opponents of making an extraordinary political mistake in refusing his calls for a snap election next month and their refusal comes along side another disappointment for johnson the upper house of parliament the house of lords has approved new legislation that would require him to ask the e.u. for breakfast extension rather than live without a deal emma hayward has more from london. he's been struggling to control parliament and even hundreds of kilometers from westminster boris johnson wasn't having an easy time of it britain's prime minister was in scotland to announce extra funding performers he hasn't got the election he wants yet both photo opportunities like this the campaign certainly feels like it's on the way johnson insists he has no intention of resig

zul linski came in, he's going in the right direction. this is the sort of thing we ought to be holding hearings about. this is outrageous. ukraine deserves our help. the only chance to calm things down. we're never going to move things in crime. it's in putin's own interest to cut a zbleel we saw jake sherman, the prisoner exchange, manned people believe that helps move talks forward between russia and ukraine. but if donald trump continues to basically being aiding and abetting vladimir putin's efforts, then by keeping the military aid away from the ukrainians he only strengthens putin's hands in those negotiations. >> yeah. and, listen think there there's going to be a lot of voices on capitol hill and in washington over the next couple weeks now that people are back and focused. and there seems to be a familiar pattern to these episodes where trump's allies on capitol hill, people like lindsey graham will go to him and tell him a decision is wrong headed and he might reverse. but there has been a vacuum over the last couple of weeks w

you have the linsky, -- zielinski. you have the attorney for trump, which is not a government attorney, going overseas to another country coming back with information, giving it to barr, and barr can say he came across information leading to the investigation of biden. o.u have an m. employeesernment transferring information through channels to get to the victim. host: mj in dumb freeze, virginia, independent. ies, virginia, independent. caller: what we are doing right and thehis present time democratic system of america is we are trying to excuse this kind of behavior where foreign countries can get involved in elections, and we are going to look the other way. time, it becomes a democratic government going to countries and spying on another candidate, i don't know where this is going because this is another territory. thatmes normal with trump everything will go all the way wrong. i think it is the right time to do it. i am not a democrat or republican. it is about to be destroyed bipartisanship. i think republicans

an hour ago we had a great guest, daniel linsky, the superintendent of the police commission in bostonhe was talking about how, we all know with the cell phones, things like that, he said that a, cops have been so afraid to do their job. they have been demonized by media for a variety of things. he says it is hard these days to get millenials actually be interested in joining the force because they want a job that they take for a couple years. they don't want to work 30 years until they get a pension. the paradigm has changed when it comes to police. ainsley: when we were at the convention in philadelphia i remember a cop telling me takes the uniform off leaving the office. he doesn't want anyone to see him and target them. people throwing milk at officers and water at officers and buckets at officer. i took heart on friday, had our panel downstairs, look at that video, so hard to watch. they were first-responders. they said it had not happened to them. they didn't know anyone it happened to. even though i ace problem, even though it's a problem i'm praying to god it is not as big of a

of millions of dollars in aid riding on whether this president in this phone call, president the linskygo after joe biden and reopen the investigation of his son to get that aid. there was no threat of that. that is the take away. you can talk about crowd strength or biden is mentioned but it is really focused on his son and there is no quid pro quo. the president isn't saying if you don't do this you are not getting for any package which is the opposite of what we heard from the democrats and the whole basis which was why i think dumb of them to have nancy pelosi come out yesterday and started this. before the american people read this and realize the president wasn't making a threat here, the president wasn't holding a paid on this. this was a normal phone call. they discussed some items and moving on and that is how the president talks. stuart: i have to tell you in my studio i have monitor screens showing me what is going on competing news channels and i see looks of exasperation, desperation, horror on the look of some of the anchors who are trying to make something out of this tra

yes i am calling about -- you just played a clip of stephanopoulos on abc news, he read directly linsky-trumpki- ze dialogue right after the javelin and trump says i would like to ask a favor and then he says because -- trump gives the reason he wants the favor. it is not because i want you to go after a political opponent, biden is not even mentioned in that paragraph. it is because our country has been through a lot and he does bring up mueller in that paragraph. it is because trump knows he has been railroaded and there is a lot of people in the government that hate him and they are pulling some type of crew to get -- coup to get rid of him. host: jonathan in new york, welcome. -- controlling the ukraine by getting the prosecutor fired. biden bragged about that. bill clinton got impeached a rate of perjury in case and he did not get impeached for having an affair. democrats were trying to impeach trump for two years. what happened to all the other stuff they were trying to impeach him for? host: we go to new jersey and hear from mary on the democrats line. caller: good morning. thank you for

and sa linski immediately looks right through it. >> yeah. >> and he says, yes, yes, we're going to dody giuliani's been in touch with us. he's coming over and we're going to work on, quote, that investigation. and that's, of course, when donald trump went in for the -- well, just went in very aggressively. so, i thought ben sasse had a wonderful statement yesterday. and he's been like garba lately. it was sort of a garba -- >> you would be to if you were running for -- >> i wouldn't. by i saw how drapemocrats respod when bill clinton was going through what he went through. i didn't see a lot of profiles encouraged there either. but any way, ben sasse, though, said this. i thought it was -- i thought it was a great statement. democrats ought not to be using the word impeach before they have the whistleblower complaint or before they read any of the transcript. republicans ought not to be rushing to circle the wagons to say there's no there there when obviously lots that's very troubling there. the administration ought not to be attacking the whistleblower as some talking point suggests
