and russian allies can do in the short term to help zelinski? there's a lot of things economist like to say we could do in the long term, but what do you think we can actually do in the short term to help relieve some of this pressure that is on him? >> it's a good question. and it was just in kiev did not conclude the next assistance. helping zelinski -- he's got an impressive new government there. he's brought in entirely new people in the government. for better or worse, so it's a rather inexperienced government. but helping ukraine get across the finish line with the imf i think is one of the main short-term goals we should have together with them. redirecting the pressure so that zelinski does not feel europe and the united states are looking at our watches wondering and you're going to wrap up this conflict so we can get back to business as usual and focusing our attention more on moscow to bring about a resolution of it. helping him with the fight against corruption. this was one of his key tenants in his political platform to root out th

ambassador volcker met with president a lens key -- zelinski. there was no reference to a quid pro quo, or president zelinski having any idea there was a hold aid decree. makes no reference two a hold on aid or quid pro quo. the aid was getting released. guess what happened. aid got released. there was no new investigation created. this whole thing is a fairytale. adam schiff is misleading you and you are playing along with it. many of you are anemic and public is getting deceived. what adam schiff said that president trump was asking president zelinski to manufacture dirt on the bidens, investor volcker testified that was apple the untrue. that is what we call an inconvenient fact narrative. hem schiff has been saying had no contact with the whistleblower. he would like to but he did not have contact. he lied. when he gave his opening statement before the acting director of national intelligence as to what was what the transcript interview said -- going back to ambassador volcker's interview in the process, we were here ready to do our part. if

we had the a between volodymyr zelinsky and trump, that is the main evidence of what went on here and what we have gone through for the last week or so our people's different characterizations and descriptions of it. what we're supposed to take away from that it seems to me is that you have to say either that it is perfect as the president says or that it is impeachable as democrats say and i think for the most part most sensible people look at this and say the president shouldn't leverage his control over american national security purely to do political research. what mainly was done here was the president asked another country to help with an ongoing justice department investigation which is appropriate, to the extent he also through the bidens and is probably something that was poor judgment to do and you could say it was not perfect but impeachable? they are not going to impeach him over that. shannon: we will get the transcript today, the ig is going out to testify behind closed doors tomorrow but in the meantime the wall street journal editorial board's headline is the whistleb

zelinsky has 77 or maybe it's less now i think is about 66 percent support of the people that's a lot you know it's quite alive percent voted for him yes and i don't understand now how it's possible when you have this public support that the street can rise up like it has when it well i'm starting to wonder when is it going to get to the point when the people say no we don't want another made because it's basically what the neo i guess called the nazis yes you can call the us that's basically what they're calling for there apparently there are there are reports that there's a threat and possible how did we get to this point because he you have to ask basic questions put to shame call came in as a centrist left i think is a much more nationalist right winger and we have zelinsky is very much a moderate i think his message resonated with the public so is he weak the institutions weak or both or is it just because there's a free fringe group out there that's trying to call the shots. last night. in february 2014 demonstrated the weakness of basic institutions of government in ukraine and

on page 2, volodymyr zelinsky says i like javelin missiles and the president says, talks about crowdcking ukraine to the question of confusion about whether ukraine is involved or not but that is the investigation the president is looking for. the president often goes on a different tangent than someone else is talking about. may be the president connecting these two and the question, was that inappropriate? we have read what was said and can judge the question. jillian: the president going off on his own, he did that yesterday, a lot of people argue about his call on china to investigate biden saying that. some people say this adds to our point what we were trying to get to the bottom of with ukraine but other people say shouldn't he be investigated if there is potentially something going on? doesn't mean he's trying to dig up dirt for the campaign. >> this goes back to the heart of the matter which is forget what was happening on private phone calls. ukraine on one hand, china on the other to investigate hunter biden for these alleged pieces of corruption. things that will look goo

he even mentioned it to president zelinski and the phone call. but it was not connected to the aid. that's where people got sidetracked at the press conference. chris: i believe that anyone listening to what you said in that briefing only one conclusion let's play we said. >> he also mentioned to me in the past the corruption related to the d&c server no question about it. but that is it and that's why we held up the money. >> funding will not flow unless investigation is a democrat server happen as well we did all the time of foreign-policy. chris: you were asked by jonathan was investigating democrat one of the conditions for holding up the aid was not part of the quid pro quo and you said it happens all the time. >> go back and watch what i said before. there was a long answer about corruption. chris: you totally said that. >> and then i said the exact same thing i said now which is yes, the reason that we held back the aid with the two reasons i mentioned. i can prove it to you. the aid flowed. once we satisfied ourselves that corruption was doing better with it and we got the i

diplomats that included conditions for potential white house visit for zelinski. hours before the july 25 phone call he wrote to an aide assuming that he convinces president trump he will now down a date first visit to washington. republicans and democrats were split on what they had to see. >> there was no quid pro quo. >> more evidence that he was improperly using his audience. >> he is expected to tell halsey pelosi that they will not recognize the impeachment inquiry until it is formalized with a vote on the house floor. cbs news back to you. >> because democrats are expecting that move they have drafted a subpoena demanding the hand of her documents about the ukraine. >>> stocks are looking to start the day in the green. another bay area company is announcing big job cuts ahead in this money watch report. >>> here's a live look outside before we had to break. this is that the hardly strictly bluegrass the van gogh. to harrison, the wine collection. to craig, this rock. i leave these things to my heirs, all 39 million of you, on one condition. that you do ever

volodymyr zelinsky would not get a meeting with donald trump. how is that not pressure? >> even if it is pressure it is different than what biden did. the purpose of questioning is to get a little investigation about a scandal at the highest level of the government, the washington press has been covering up for three years deliberately and about which they are going after me personally. they get me, the messenger. has been a crook for 30 years. let me explain to you about -- >> i want to ask you -- >> let me answer about volcker. internal texts, they reached out to me. i finished my investigation, they reached out to me, asked me to talk, did it on their direction and control, i reported back to them, discussed with them, their idea, not my idea. they asked my advice. i didn't tell them he must, he should, he must, i said i gave them my advice what would -- the corrupt ukrainian government that has been corrupt for a long time, that it was willing to root out corruption no matter who it hurt, without fear of favor, the way our agency should do but don't. we have a corrup

zelinski. the wrong point to my view. ukrainians are fed up with corruption. zelinski was victorious in the ukrainian election because he campaigned against corruption. there are concerns, as i mentioned, about, about certain individuals and their ability to influence decisions. the chief of staff of the president is a former lawyer and have a lot of questions have been raised about that. they are the ones that should be tired of for, not us us in the west. we are the ones fighting and defending for our country. and yet, putin is is taking advantage, looking to exploit western support for ukraine and taking advantage of what he hopes will be a new president there that doesn't know the ropes. he tried this right after zelinski one where he announced and easing of passports for those living there. he handled that very well. but there are more tests coming for him that we have already seen. it is worth, i think, stepping back for a moment, to see how we got to this point. i mentioned briefly the budapest memorandum. an agreement signed in 1994. in which the unite

wrote that the white house official appeared to be shaken and described the call between trump and zelinskyand frightening. and cnn is reporting in the hours and days after the call word began to spread among the national security aids about what was discussed on the call. in fact three sources now telling cnn that at least one official on the national security consal alerted the white house's national security lawyer's about their concerns. those same lawyers would go on to order the transcript of the call be moved to the highly classified code-word level servererer to keep it hush hush. we're also learning about what happened. in that almost five-hour gap between senior diplomat's text questioning what he perceiveds as holding and ambassador sondeland 's actual answer and a source saying that sondeland actual spoke to the president about the situation. that led to his reply of bill, i believe you were incorrect about president trump's intentions. the president has been crystal clear no quid pro quos of any kind. a lot to discuss here and we have the perfect man for the job. james clapper,

the white house says he never intended to meet with president zelinski. >> the president didn't want to take the meeting, or have the phone call. >> investor summit is expected to tell lawmakers that the president directed him to talk with his personal attorney rudy giuliani about efforts to arrange a meeting with zelinski and prepared testimony, simon says he supported the president's effort to fight corruption but says he did not understand giuliani's agenda may have been to push ukraine to investigate the bidens. >> u.s. lawmakers are mourning the loss of one of their own today, democratic congressman elijah cummings died of convocations from long-standing health challenges. the 68-year-old inspected death home district in maryland. >> the white house flag was lowered to half staff in tribute to marilyn congressman elijah cummings, who passed away early thursday, the son of sharecroppers, cummings was first elected to congress in 1996. when democrats went back to the house in 2018, he became chair of the powerful house oversight committee. one of the committees leading impeachment

zelinsky has 77 or maybe it's less now i think is about 66 percent support of the people that's a lotyou know it's quite alive percent voted for him and i don't understand now how it's possible when you have this love of public support that the street can rise up like it has when when i'm starting to wonder when is it going to get to the point when the people say no we don't want another made up because that's basically what the neo i guess called the nazis yes we're going to that's basically what they're calling for there apparently there are there are reports that they're out there threatening possible how did we get to this point because you have to ask basic questions put to shame call came in as a centrist left i think is a much more nationalist right winger and we have zelinsky is very much a moderate i think his message resonated with the public so is he weak the institutions weak or both or is it just because there's a free fringe group out there that's trying to call the shots. last. february 2014 demonstrated the weakness of basic institutions of government in ukraine and th

officials today vice president pence evidence that he was pressuring zelinsky personally and other high officials in ukraine more shoes to drop on that so this is now reaching all across the top u.s. agencies but something that i must point out a bit to your leading statements those 2 diplomats were removed kurt volker and the u.s. ambassador there she was recalled and kurt volker was told he would be fired if he didn't resign so he's in his. almost a whole full day 12 hours now of deposition to that the relevant committees intelligence chiefly as we speak on capitol hill and there kurt volker is straightening out the record and that is that very deftly he and the ambassador were trying to help the ukrainians navigate this corrupt process involving rudy giuliani the president the vice president the secretary of state almost everybody how damaging are president trump's admitted actions that they just that we know not even the things that we do know how damaging are these actions to state department employees are incredibly damaging the morale is really at a low point a lot of the halls t

meanwhile, zelinski said today he hopes president trump will come to ukraine. he says president trump has an open invitation here in kiev. >> bret: david, thank you. joe biden and elizabeth warren are tied when combining first and second choices of those surveyed in the latest fox news poll. the two came in at 45% apiece. ask bernie sanders was next at 34%. kamala harris had 15%, pete buttigieg is up 13%. tonight correspondent peter doocy tells us what else we are learning from the latest numbers. >> joe biden 2020 has lots to do a joe biden 1973. >> it takes proven ability to get things done. we are not electing a planet. >> it seems obvious who he was talking about. >> i have a lot of plans and i get teased about this. >> just 19% of democratic primary voters in a fox news poll believe it was with warren gives democrats the best chance to beat trump. far behind at 43% who believe it's biden who isn't hurt much by recent controversy appeared only 10% of democratic primary voters say they are less likely to vote for him because of hundd biden's business deals i

just a 100 percent but a 1000 percent right now and when you look at that is there going to hurt zelinsky in his plans moving forward with germany and with the european union of those words going to come back to haunt him. brant i'm not sure they will i think most world leaders have things to be queasy about if they have private bilateral calls were published like this interestingly enough i think in this case this transcript came out without anyone in washington bothering to warn kiev that this was coming and we have seen selenski meeting angela merkel in new york at the u.n. since this came out seemingly business as usual the fact that ukraine's disappointed by western european response to its calls for aid that there are talks to talk specially in france about reengaging the kremlin evening softening sanctions without huge or major russian concessions that all is stuff that has worry kid for a long time and is not a secret i think he was fairly cautious in he's speaking to trump and in terms of the flattery 100000 percent agreement rather 100 percent you can even read that as him being

i kneel fascists that have levers of power in ukraine and corruption this is where zelinsky the heart of his campaign was if he can get western institutions maybe the f.b.i. would be one of them though they have a pretty dodgy reputation right now what selinski wants to do is if he's going to take on corruption he's going to need outside help and i think he thinks trump is going to help him bring peace and start dealing with corruption and that's a good that's a good play for ukraine and everybody around him go ahead alex yes and with a great problems alinsky no faces if he really is serious about corruption is that of course the whole issue has now become an issue in american domestic politics so i gather he's already been won't mind the democrats that up to now support for ukraine and in the united states has been a bipartisan issue that he risks not making it all of more alex so are you suggesting a quid pro quo is that what you're suggesting here is that what is rump is accused of but the democrats are doing it go ahead. well that's exactly what i'm saying and can i just add that

ukrainian president zelinsky. he is quoted in this phone call transcript summary with the us president and he he. did not say the most flattering things about miracle were germany's policy with ukraine do you think he has he shot himself in the foot with germany already well look i think he's right is it the beginning of understanding what his offices as president i mean remember where he came from so he's drinking from a fire hose when it comes to understanding politics whether it's domestic or whether it's fine and i think that you know he's trying to run through extremely tight rope here and in that respect i think you know in that case it's best to give him time to respond to this i mean the fact is is that this accusation that was made by trump germany and europe to do much for the crate is false so i think it's this point is a real tight rope for him see how he can do it if this is a piece that takes place if the president is removed you know that's never happened in u.s. history if that does happen what do

shame call came in as a centrist left i think is a much more nationalist right winger and we have zelinsky is very much a moderate i think his message resonated with the public so is he weak the institutions weak or both or is it just because there's a free fringe group out there that's trying to call the shots. the last. in february 2014 demonstrated the weakness of basic institutions of government in ukraine and the absence of any understanding of the concept of rule of law and that has persisted from then on there is lip service to the terms but no deep commitment or understanding of it i would take lightly different tack with respect to the right wing neo nazi element in ukrainian politics it exists it has an outsized influence but i don't think it is really the thing that is preventing change right now i think the thing that is preventing change in ukraine is the v. weakness of the city and ski specifically driven by his need to feel loved he wants to be loved by everyone that's but that's not ok that's a personal agenda but that's not a political agenda exactly my point my point so t

ukraine kurt volker testified about any role he may have had interims coersion of ukrainian president zelinsky to provide damaging information about joe biden and joe biden's son volcker's a name appears in that whistleblower complaint which became public last week the one that triggered an impeachment inquiry against the president and bowker is testimony today it was private but president trump he said plenty in public today well i think. going down and i think is a situation because you may very well find that there are many other countries. just like they stand and. so i would say that president. if it were me i would recommend that they start an investigation. because nobody has any doubt that they were that was a christian 100 percent. connelly he joins me tonight from kiev in ukraine good evening to you nic let's talk about kurt volker he he had an important job as special envoy to ukraine for the united states until he resigned last week last year i interviewed him here and he was adamant in his defense of trump's commitment to ukraine take a listen to what he said. i can imagine your j

as far as what the president said in the transcript, i think asking zelinski, the ukrainian presidentr assistance in mueller's investigation is fine. that's the kind of thing that's done all the time, asking another government for assisting in our investigations. asking him about biden getting a prosecutor fired also seems fine to me because it's an elements of barr's investigation to show the obama administration was winning on the ukrainian authorities to investigate paul manafort and potentially others in the trump campaign then it's very relevant that biden had that kind of influence and control over the ukrainian's. i would prefer if the president hadn't gotten into biden's son because to my knowledge, there was no justice department investigation into hunter biden and that does go on the line toward a president using his control over foreign policy -- you on hold on a second. andy i have january 11th, i have 2017 politico, it outlines ingrate specificity the the election interference of the ukrainians in 2016 on hillary's behalf. now we have joe biden on tape demanding the firin

continues to investigate the circumstances of the president's interaction with ukrainian president zelinski and whether he used the power of his office to pressure foreign leader to intervene in an american election on his behalf. this task was thrust upon them by the president's alleged conduct and the demands of our constitution and of our republic. here in the senate our job is even more austere, we are assigned power not only to examine the evidence but to render judgment. we all have a solemn duty to follow the facts impartially and let ourselves be governed by reason that role means we have a responsibility to behave impartially in a nonpartisan manner from the onset. as my friend and leader mcconnell said during the 1998 impeachment debate ", this is mcconnell, it's been my view that i don't as potential juror if it's serious enough to warrant a potential impeachment proceeding at all thank i ought to prejudge the case. and yet, already a few of my senate republican colleagues seem determined to turn this serious partisan exercise.er my friend the republican leader here on the floor

but getting back to the call, you say there's nothing impeachable in the president's call with zelinsky on july 25th. would you do it? i mean, if you were president, would you solicit help from a foreign government to dig up potential dirt on a political rival? >> listen, for the last four years, i have seen people in the media, people across the aisle, complain about how this president operates. >> can you just answer nye question? >> i will admit he is nontraditional. >> would you do it? is it okay? does it sit well with you? >> i'm not the president of the united states. >> does it sit well with you? >> i don't even know what's happening in these discussions because i haven't even been a part of these discussions. yes, it's great that there are 40 members of the house, but my constituents that i represent, they're asking me questions that i can't even answer -- >> well, you get the transcripts. >> you're asking me questions about -- i hope i do. i hope i do, because right now democrats have closed us out of the process, and people, including the press, yourself, are asking questions

evaluate whether ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms president volodymyr zelinskyromised during the campaign, i suggest we stop the back-and-forth texts. it is not clear if either ambassador will be called to testify but we are also seeing in the new york times reports that they drafted a statement for the ukrainian president committing them to investigate among others hunter biden. shannon: we will talk more about this coming up. have a great weekend. it is friday after all. congressman doug collins says nancy pelosi is throwing house rules in the trash and call that a clear indication that it is all about overturning the election. >> it is amazing to me nancy pelosi has such little faith in the american people. if she was right, if she had an agenda, if she believed democratic party candidates for president were on the right track then why is she so skeptical of the american people voting for what they believe is the right idea? the problem is she knows donald trump is connecting with american people, he did in 2016, we will see it again next year and what they a

relating to trump's contact with ukraine including his call in july with ukraine's president volodymyr zelinsky several house committees are looking into whether trump pressured ukraine to investigate former democratic vice president joe biden trump has vowed not to cooperate with the probe. iraq has been shaken by more violence the country is facing a deepening crisis with the street protests and unrest growing security forces have again opened fire on protesters in the capital baghdad at least 70 people have been killed in 4 days of turmoil. protesters rush to take one of their own to safety then they flee is the sound of sniper fire ricochets through the streets they're desperate enough to risk their lives because they feel the state has failed to deliver the basics. we're. not going to protesting because we're suffering there's no electricity no jobs people are dying of starvation it's a curse. unrest says spread rapidly across the country this week without any apparent leadership or connection to a political or sectarian movement in response authorities shut down the internet and imposed a
