Pods. Told not to call them ear pods because theyre air pods. Put them. In almost regret getting in the subway cut off and come out. This whole story line was the probe, ukraine, and everything going in the u. N. And impeachment has me rivetted. Steve thats the great thing about the Fox News Channel all day long and all night long. Start friday with this. Ainsley a fox news alert. Top democrats demanding to know who made the complaints Top Republicans, i should say demanding to know who made that complaint about President Trumps phone call with ukraine. Steve it comes after a tense hearing on capitol hill yesterday with the acting director of National Intelligence. That man flight with his arm up. Brian do you think it was tension; really . Griff jenkins joins us from washington with the some reason griff is never tense which i never understand. Go ahead, griff. Griff listen, brian prepare to be further rivetted the whole town is abuse with who the whistleblower is. Cia employee assigned to the white house. Source tell fox news this individual served on the nsc staff that grew Harsh Criticism from the president who said in a new video obtained by bloomberg he wants to identify not only the whistleblower but also who leaked the info to him you know what we used to do in the old days griff acting dni joe mcgwire calling the situation unprecedented and unique, affirming his belief as a whistleblower, acted in good faith law. He defended his handling of the complaint. You went to the subject of the complaint for advice first about whether you should provide the complaint to congress. It did appear that it has executive privilege. It was not stonewalling. I didnt receive direction from anybody. I was just trying to work through the process and the law the way it is written. Griff maguire also acknowledged the complaint was based on second hand information but Speaker Pelosi was not satisfied cautiously pressing ahead in the march to impeachment. This is a coverup. This is a coverup. I think what the dni did was broke the law. The law is very clear. This is nothing that we take lightly. Griff maguire testified behind closed doors to the Senate Intelligence committee right now where things stand guys its unclear whether we can see the whistleblower, attorney general barr or Rudy Giuliani testify before congress. There is talks but nothing set in concrete yet. They have a few weeks off. We will find out in october. Steve will indeed. Griff, thank you very much. I have a feeling the whistleblower dolls not want his identity revealed. Fred fleitz who was in the cia he actually transcribed a number of these president ial telephone calls. He looked at the transcripts and he writes in the New York Post this morning that it looks like the leaker had outside help because it looks like it was written by a law professor. He said possibly he had help from congressional members or staff and house republicans, when they get the whistleblower under oath need to ask him whether or not he spoke to the press or congress about the complaint. Ainsley there are so many issues here to discuss. Number one, this is a whistleblower with second hand information. He or she. Brian its a he, right . Steve thats a he. Ainsley thats what New York Times is reporting New York Times reporting a staffer. A man. He wasnt in the room. Wasnt on the conversation. And the laws dont protect second hand information. And then yesterday, when Joseph Maguire was second grilled, adam schiff, he was so cool under pressure and then at the end you could tell he was getting really, really upset and he said, listen, the horse has left the barn. You have the whistleblower complaint. Every the letter from the icig. Office of Legal Councils opinion. You have the transcript from the president. You have all the information. Adam schiff kept pushing him to try to agree that this needs further investigation. Brian theres a lot of different ementsz to this. But, fundamentally, the president said you got a problem with this take the transcript. You have a problem with this. Go get the complaint. Put them both forward. Former cia guy, soon to be retired congressman. Republican. Has mentioned that, too. Congressman hurd Joseph Maguire as 30 plus year. If every whistleblower complaint that was brought to the Intelligence Community Inspector General was always sharing with this committee. I think we have a good law. I think it is well written. However, as i said congressman, this is unprecedented. And this is a meek situation. What is your assaysment of you who operations in general are going to be impacted by this latest episode. Media circus, the political circus. I think the greatest challenge that we do have is to make sure that we maintain the integrity of our election system. Ainsley he is going to run for president in 2024. Considering it. Steve threw go, against the next person whoever is running that year. Steve he is right. This is impacting a lot of what is going on in the country. Regarding adam schiff, were going to talk, in a moment, about the whole parody thing. Because he essentially wanted to freelance off of what was written. But, peter van buren. A former whistleblower himself, looked at the intent of what the whistleblower was trying to do and he spoke to Tucker Carlson about it last night. First of all, the key difference between a whistleblower and a leaker and a traitor is at the end of the day intent. We may disagree but in the case of Edward Snowden what he wanted to do was expose nsa spying across individual american daniel hemsberg wanted to reveal that the lied us into a vietnam war. Set of circumstances and made all sorts of accusations about Computer Systems and servers and essentially claimed that trump has shoe horned his way into the ukraine. In fact, if that is an extortion, they should never watch the sopranos. Brian believe it or not the Washington Post has an editorial today. Check to make sure this wasnt a parody. Goes out and says basically, the democrats are sprinting in front of evidence. And he points out what everybody promised with this story and what the reality is. For example, it turns out trump makes no promise. Steve that was the original headline. Brian that was the original headline. He makes no threat to the leader of the ukraine. He will he doesnt say do me a favor. He says can you do us a favor. He doesnt demand the server. He demands information on crowd strike. He says and this guy was not a direct witness. This was an indirect account. Steve right. Brian when you talk about a coverup, this was put into a place which was Cyber Security secured. Steve special computers. Brian special computer which was password secured and you could thoroughly understand the administration wanting to guard against interactions that are important for National Security because the mexican first the exchange the private phone call was leaked. The australian private phone call was leaked. There was an editorial written in the New York Times. We still dont know the author of it anonymous talked about how bad and chaotic things are behind the scenes. They still dont know who they can trust and cant trust. Ainsley some leakers in the beginning of the administration. The president was probably saying look. Brian file it away. Ainsley file in this n. A classified repository. Steve they started to tighten the security. According to the document that was released yesterday. This is not where they normally put things since then. This was extraordinary. And thats why the cover of the New York Times says complaint asserts a white house coverup. I mean, this is serious. Thats it. Its serious stuff. And, yet, we were talking about it a moment ago. Adam schiff, not just looking at the facts, decided to make it even more sensational by what he now calls because he took so much heat over it, a parody. This is the essence of what the president communicates. We have been very good to your country, very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But, you know what . I dont see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor i want from you though. And im going to say this only seven times so you better listen good. I want to you make up dirt on my political opponent understand . Lots of it. On this and on that. Ainsley people are saying why make a parody out of it when you have the transcript in front of you. Steve steven haste tweeted out adam schiff not satisfied with the facts as they are offer as summary that is a distortion designed to make it look worse. Brian he does. He acted like he was reading dialogue and im doing the radio show and i kept handing to my control room alison where is he reading this . What documents . I need to see these documents. It turns out two hours later we find out he is making something entirely up. And if you are the chairman of a committee, and you are trying to get credibility for your latest impeachment push. Why would you start in the fiction section of the library . And on the terms that the president being leaked and how unique it was as the New York Times headline says coverup. I didnt know. This there have been leaked conversations not only with australia. Not only with mexico, but also with the philippines and britain as well as information with vladimir putin. So, if you are the president of the United States. If you are trying to watch his back, you say lets password protect it. To me there is a total logic behind it. Ainsley im wondering if the whistleblower just heard from someone who was privy to. Steve a dozen people. Ainsley if they talked to someone the president was mentioning crowd strike. He was mentioning the dnc servers. Thats what he maybe heard and then he complains and then this blows up into something bigger. Some people say it might be political because of the staff that he hired, the legal team that he hired. Maybe he isnt expected to get so political just investigate it. So many people hate this president they are making it. Brian to your point, steve, this is a title, unforced error. He has all these gains economically and internationally. And why you would send your lawyer out to find out about a wouldbe opponent and information that might have interest for National Security. But is tangential and should be way down on your list is beyond me. The president was on a roll. If you look at what he accomplished at the united nations, rallying everyone around our iranian plan, as well as what we are seeing with economic numbers, its he created this is a challenge he created himself. Steve hogan gidley is going to join us from the white house shortly. In the meantime we have news with jillian on this friday morning. Jillian a soldier is killed and three others injured in Army Helicopter crash. The blackhawk stationed in louisiana was being used for medical transport.

Send it back to you. Steve you just cant do that all right. Thank you very much. Meanwhile, fireworks erupting on capitol hill yesterday as the top spy chief defended his handling of the whistleblower complaint. Ainsley former Florida Attorney general pam bondi says democrats should be ashamed of themselves and she is live. Hi, pam. Up, up, up nowher no banjo . man hey. Go home. woman banjo sorry, it wont happen again. Come on, lets go home. After 10 years, weve covered a lot of miles.

Steve fireworks erupting yesterday on capitol hill as acting director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire defended his handling of the whistleblower complaint summoning it up as, quote. Hearsay. Here with reaction is former Florida Attorney general pam bondi. Good morning to you. Good morning. Steve all right. So this whistleblower went forward with this complaint. Whats your first headline regarding what you saw in the complaint . Nothing was wrong. The president did nothing wrong. It was totally misrepresented by adam schiff. The president had a conversation with the president of ukraine. Steve right. And they released the transcript. And you know, when you hear it from the democrats, you think something was wrong but they are not representing the facts. There was no quid pro quo. There nothing. Steve but the president did say, essentially, can you look into doing me a favor. Can you look into this crazy stuff regarding the bide bidens. Came 600 words hey can you do us a favor and started talking. Thats what the democrats left out the entire context of a conversation between two World Leaders. Steve we were just talking about it a moment ago on the tv show. What did you make of adam schiff, the guy who runs that committee where rather than just looking at the facts made up the script and said it was a joke. Its a parody. Whats a parody . An exaggeration. How dare he do that . When you are a prosecutor, you are arguing to 12 people on a jury. Adam schiff is a lawyer. He was arguing to not only the entire country but the entire world. Yet he couldnt be factual in what he said and then called it a parody accusing our president of a crime . Really unreal what he did. As a lawyer he should be ashamed of himself. Steve there he is addressing the acting dni joe maguire. He said yesterday that the Inspector General did find some political bias but maguire said he did not question the whistleblowers motivation. Nor should he because you dont want to put a Chilling Effect on any whistleblower in any situation. Steve otherwise, you are going to stop having them. Exactly as a prosecutor you want to have whistleblowers. You do. Now, whether he is going to be credible, he or she when it comes out who this person is, whether they had an ax to grind. They know his or her attorney is a democrat donor. And he had no first hand knowledge of the facts of the phone call. Steve what do you think Going Forward after what we heard yesterday did his testimony help the democrats or hurt the democrats cause . I think it hurt them tremendously. Because now why are knowing he was not representing the facts of the case, schiff. I think joe maguire did a great job testifying. This guy is a military hero. And every single democrat tried to tear him down, call him a liar, say he was biased. This man he is a military hero. And he is doing his job for our country and shame on them for going after him for doing his job. Steve do you think democrats just wanted him to say yep, you are right, there was a coverup and the president broke the law. Of course they did. Schiff asked him 25 different ways trying to get him to say the president did something wrong. And joe maguire stuck to his guns and said no, i did my job. Then they tried to say oh, you ran to the president. No, he did what he had to do because executive privilege had to be waved. Steve he was simply following the laws written by congress. Exactly. Steve pam bondi former attorney general of the great state of florida. Thank you. Thank you. Steve have a great weekend. College students want President Trump impeached. One problem. They are not exactly sure why. What do you think is an Impeachable Offense he has committed . Well, im not in to politics. Im sure there is reasons that i dont know of. Excuse me. Uh. Do you mind. Being a motour . What could be better than being a motour . The real question is. Do you mind not being a motour . I do. For those who were born to ride, theres progressive. I do. Did you know you can save money by using dish soap to clean grease on more than dishes . Try dawn ultra. Dawn is for more than just dishes. With 3x more grease cleaning power per drop, it tackles tough grease on a variety of surfaces. Try dawn ultra. danny s voice of course you donte because you didnt . Your job isnt doing hard work. Its making them do hard work. And getting paid for it. vo snap and sort your expenses to save over 4,600 at tax time. Quickbooks. Backing you. I decided that i wanted to go for Electrical Engineering and you need to go to college for that. If i didnt have internet in the home i would have to give up more time with my kids. Which is the main reason i left the military. Everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got. And i get to do that. I get to provide that for them. Brian some quick headlines now. Lets get started. Hope you are dressed. The Trump Administration planning to slash the refugee limit to alltime low. New proposal allowing for 18,000 refugees into the u. S. Each year compared to the previous 30,000 that would need approval from congress. And ice agents are dozen of Illegal Immigrants with child sex offenses push by the Trump Administration to highlight the dangers of sanctuary cities. The acting ice director says nearly 200 of 1800 arrests this week could have been made at local jails. If ice detainers were honored. And calling someone an illegal alien out of hate now banned in new york city. The new rules meant to protect immigrants from discrimination. Violaters could face 250,000 really, 250,000 fine or a quarter of a Million Dollars. I guess either one. [laughter] ainsley okay. Moving on. Its 25 minutes after the top of the hour. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing a former impeachment inquiry into our president and College Students are all for it. Watch. Do you agree President Trump should be impeached. I think he thud be impeached. He dividendly has done enough things to be geechesd. Thats a great thing. I thought she would wait a little bit they want to get it done right now so good. Do you think President Trump should be dispeeched. Absolutely. Ainsley the only problem is. We havent seen this side of the video. Those same students couldnt answer why our president should be impeached. Here with more of the interviews is cabot phillips. Were you surprised first of all . Yeah. I was not surprised at all. I think whenever students are presented with a question, they are always going to default to the liberal position because thats the echo chamber they live in on College Campuses. The problem with living in echo chamber often you are not able to explain why you believe what you do. Watch what they did when i challenged them and simply said what has he done to be impeached . Im sure there is reasons that i dont know of. Um, i dont know if i can say any specific type of event or specific action. What do you think is an Impeachable Offense he has committed . Well, im not into politics. I dont pay that much attention to it. Honestly, um, i think its a lot of, um, just how popular he is. Isnt it interesting how quickly it is they go from he needs to be impeached well, im not totally sure i feel this way though. I have been on 100 College Campuses with leadership institutes campus reform. I have seen this play out time and time again where people come in with strong opinions because they are never challenged they not used to actually having to explain why they think what they do. Reasonable people can agree on impeachment and what should happen here. You should at least be able to defend yourself and this is why its important to be educated and have viewpoint diversity. When you are never challenged you dont know how to express why you think what you do. You actually dont have facts. You have those feelings he you are relying on. Can you see it play out there time and time again on campus. Ainsley that was at marry month university in virginia. Did you talk to anyone who said no, i dont want him to be impeached. There was no one that said that afraid of expressing that opinion. How hostile it is for anyone to. More students support him but afraid to speak out. This plays into the fact of its easy to laugh this off and say oh, these are just silly College Students. You need to remember their very vote counts just as large as yours and mine. Millennials is the largest voting block. We should hope to have an educated electorate. When you see videos like this it is a reminder of what happens when you have echo chamber. We need to have think for themselves and not feel pressured over one side over the other. Ainsley you are right. Thanks so much, cabot. The president wants answers. Who leaked information to the whistleblower . White house Principle Deputy press secretary hogan gidley joins us live on that next. Let me me show you how country feels hair down, hair down dramatic orchestra performance comes in lots of flavors. Theres the ampedup, overtuned, feedingfrenzyof sheetmetalkind. And then theres performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. Thats the kind lincolns about. When you have a system of electronic storage for information that is specifically for National Security purposes, and you have something that it s. Selfserving to the president politically and decide it might not be you might not want people to know and you hide it some place else, thats a coverup. The president has been engaged in a coverup all along. Brian oh, really . 28 minutes now before the top of the hour that was Nancy Pelosis weekly press conference. That was part of the drama that took place yesterday along with what happened with the director of National Intelligence being grilled in front of adam schiffs committee who actually made up some dialogue along the way. Hogan gidley is with us now White House Deputy press secretary. Its now time for your side of the story, hogan. Im sure you watched a lot of what took place yesterday. Must have been jawdropping in many respects. First off on what nancy pelosi first brought up. When you store a transcript of a phone call in such a secure server, its a coverup. How often did you secure transcripts or phone calls with World Leaders in the past that you know of . How in the world can it be a coverup . If the world has the document. We literally released the document. It makes no sense whatsoever. Lets not forget here nancy pelosi went on television saying the president had committed a crime that she had the evidence before we had actually released the transcript. It is very clear democrats do not care about the facts. She has absolutely lost control of her caucus. We know the squad runs the show over there. In thin stance its even worse. Unnamed, unmasked person who wasnt even part of the call who used news clippings to make the claim that there was a problem to change Nancy Pelosis mind in a few hours. That morning you will remember, she wasnt for moving toward dispeech. Now she says she is. And that is absolutely grateful. The president weighed in on this. Listener to he what he said and we will get your reaction. You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart, right with spies and treasons, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now. Ainsley talking about the whistleblower being a spy. He is talking about the person who gave the information to a whistleblower. Its not unprecedented. Its sad but its true. This president has faced an unparalleled amount of scrutiny from a liberal, nasty media. Also from the inside think about the leaks that came out. His calls from private leaders from australia, for example, have come out already. This ukraine call we put out. His conversation with the mexican president have all come out. These leaks are dangerous. People in this government are entrusted with secure Sensitive Information that deal with National Security of this country and they are putting it out in the public sphere . Im not sure why. Do they just want to bolster their own careers or get invited to the Cocktail Party here in d. C. . Its disgusting but its dangerous for National Security. And thats what the president was talking about. You know, mr. Gidley, the whole when you look at when your rear view mirror what happened, we knew ultimately this whistleblower complaint would be made public because the whole idea was to get it to congress and somebody in congress would have leaked it to all the papers and we would have known all that stuff. The political calculation of the democrats was the president never in a million years would release the transcript of his private conversation with the president of ukraine. And he did. And then a lot of people on your side of said hey, what are they talking about . There is no there there. Absolutely. There isnt. We wanted this to get out to the American People because the media and the democrats have pushed a russian lie on this country for three years without evidence and now they are doing it all over again. They want this to be true so badly. They will forego facts. They will dont care where they get the information from. Where weather its sourced weld or not and put it out in the public sphere simply to attack this president. Its so dangerous to watch how the media have completely disregarded their ethics here. Journalism, its integrity is absolutely gone. Its a thing of the past, it is dead. And this happens time and time again. This is another example where the media is pushing the cart way before the horse here. Brian you dont blame nibble for following this story. When someone now it looks like the whible is from the cia, goes forward with a formal complaint, which everyone says is extremely wellwritten and wellproduced in a way in which people wonder how much help he had. And then that comes forward and gets stopped and put forward. It is certainly a news story. There a story today in the New York Times by peter baker. One of the excerpts says the white house, when they heard about this, people in the white house are deeply many people around the president deeply disturbed by what transpired on that phone call. And that is why they quickly took the transcript and put it into a more secure server. Number one, are you one of the people that is deeply disturbed . Have you talked to others that were disturbed about the tone and content of that conversation in the white house . I have no idea where peter baker gets his sources. I have no idea where he gets his information. Because i have not talked to a Single Person in the white house. And im there every day. No one i have talked to is concerned at all about this because there is nothing there. Of course the president talked about looking into corruption in the 2016 election. Im old enough to remember when democrats what happened in the 2016 election. Pushed the entire country through a russian witchhunt hoax. The democrats didnt like what they heard from the mueller report. Now they are moving into ukraine. No one in the white house is concerned about this because the president has done nothing wrong. So many entities have now ruled this was just commonplace. This was a conversation between two leaders and by the way, it was president zelensky of ukraine who brought up corruption and draining the swamp. And brought up Rudy Giuliani. The son of a Vice President getting a job for which he has no discernible information or knowledge of you who to do and gets the job for 50,000 a month . There is no quid pro quo in here. Thats what democrats push. And now they are changing and moving the goal post. Its ridiculous. Brian hogan is there a more comprehensive transcript than the we we saw that yuan was five pages and the phone call was 32 minutes. Is there anything out there more comprehensive . Not to my knowledge. The phone call is out there for everyone to see you. There was a translator on the call. That obviously takes time. I have to mention adam schiff here. I watched that display yesterday. It was some type of crazy convention. He was dressing up like a congressman reading fantasy. If the call is so incriminating why doesnt adam schiff just read the call . Its not. He has to make it up. And thats where we sit today. Thats why it is so problematic. Democrats are guided by hatred as nancy pelosi said republicans were during impeachment in 1998. Ainsley hogan gidley, thanks for being with us. Thanks for the time. Jillian we are following a story out of alabama where a mother and son are accused of killing a man over a lost dog. Shah keep butler and shana charged with murder.

The school says the policy will not be enforced. It sounds like brian would enforce that though. Brian i would. Have you got to prevent the broken heard by stopping the dating. Ainsley date them longer than a few days . Jillian the school is saying that kids date and break up so quickly. They are brokenhearted and carries over into the classroom. So they installed a no dating policy. Brian what about a no breakup policy. Ainsley its not they are dating anywhere. Remember when you dated in Elementary School.

Ainsley acting dni Joseph Maguire testifying before the House Intel Committee yesterday. And the next guest has a message to democrats. And i will say to my colleagues sitting here i think you are nuts if you think you are going to convince the American People that your cause is just by attacking this man. And anyone watching this hearing is surely going to walk away with the clear impression that you are a man of integrity that you did what you felt was right regardless of the questions and the innuendo that is tasked by some of my colleagues. Brian joining us now is utah congressman Chris Stewart who was first to see it, one of the first to see this nine page document the night before and then we all saw it yesterday at 9 00 in the morning. Congressman, what i appreciate you standing up for the director of National Intelligence whether you are republican or democrat. He seems to be the perfect american and should not be talked to like that. But having said that to the substance of what took place what did you learn yesterday in the nine pages that you didnt get out of the phone call that was five pages . Well, nothing there is nothing in the nine pages that isnt substanley inside the transcript that we have. Now, there is some other things like reporting from the New York Times. Reporting from political my gosh, we have had that for months. There is nothing new there at all. The entire essence of this complaint focuses on one phone call and one phone call only. There simply isnt anything new and other than that. Congressman, the democrats were criticizing Joseph Maguire because they felt like he waited too long to release this information to them. Thats why they are critical of him. You disagree with that why do you think he did the right thing and followed protocol . Not only do i disagree with that, i think its insane. Its nuts. Its insane for them to attack that person. Anyone who watched this hearing could clearly see he is saw the right thing to do. Opening statement by adam schiff that i have to mention just quickly it was absolute nonsense. Nothing but exaggeration and lies and innuendo so much so he had to justify it its a bit of a parody. That wasnt a parody that was just an attack on someonens character. Someone who has served this country for 36 years. I dont know how they justify that is i truly dont know how they justify that went too far. What do you make of the accusations that the Whistleblower Makes and that is that the and we saw through the transcript the president said hey, can you look into these joe biden and hunter biden dealings there involving ukraine and also the fact that apparently this particular transcript was kept on a super secret computer that they dont keep a lot of stuff on. Well, for one thing, we know thats factually not true. Many of the transcripts of the president s conversations with foreign leaders and more secure server. Second thing if they are claiming a coverup. This is the worlds worst coverup ever. For heavennens sake they released the transcript they did so very quickly. They released the whistleblower complaint. They did so very quickly. At one point they might have been afraid that some of this would leak and maybe that compelled them to move the transcript on to another computer. But we dont know if thats true anyway. We dont know if anything in this complaint is true because the whistleblower had no first hand information of any of this other ancillary accusation. Brian the whistleblower identifies at least a half dozen other officials including several who work for the white house who believe the claims that he makes. Your reaction quick . Well, once again, i think it comes to two things. When we leak classified or highly Sensitive Information, it hurts our National Security. Steve against the law. Its against the law because it hurts our National Security. And it makes it impossible for the executive. Regardless of who it is. It makes it impossible or very difficult for him to do his job. Brian gotcha. The second thing is, once again. Well, i mean, we have just seen it far too many times and the president is frustrated by it and i dont blame him. Brian very frustrating. Congressman stuart, thank you very much. Appreciate it . Thank you. Brian buyer beware the Samsung Galaxy fold going on sale today. Its already sparking problems.

Ainsley the company calling it a foldable cross between a large smart phone and a small tablet.

And, kurt, this is it. It folds. There is the fox friends there. Its cool but its heavy. Its a little heavy, 9. 84 ounces. This is really the first foldable guys in the u. S. Ainsley no flip phone.

People are trying to rip it apart. Its actually a lot more durable. They addressed the issues that made it have those concerns before. And they all new edges on it. Ainsley do you know what i like about it. You close it. You dont accidental ily call someone. I call people every day accidentally. You cant do that with this. Almost looks like a new makeup. Eye shadows. Right . We could put the publish on the other side as well. Brian whats the bad part about it . Concerns are really this is aspirational devise. The big play here for samsung is this lets us know that the future category of phones and displays and tvs will actually be foldable. That you can do. This so i think this is an opener to a whole set of new products. But for this right now, it comes with vast warnings. Dont use your fingernail. Dont take it to the beach. Dont get dust in it. Dont get it wet. This isnt glass its polymer on the front. Thats why it can bend like this. Steve that was going to be my question. You have to be careful with it.

Our hobby would be going to bed early. vo you earned it, were here to make sure you get it. danny its time to get yours vo quickbooks. Backing you. Brian all right. We begin with a fox news alert. Here we go. Top republicans demanding to know who made the complaint about President Trumps phone call with the ukraine. Ainsley it comes after a very tense hearing on capitol hill with the acting director of National Intelligence. Steve Griff Jenkins joins us from washington as we learn the whistleblower could be, according to the New York Times, a cia male officer. Griff thats right. Steve, ainsley, brian, good morning. The only thing washington likes more than who done it is who is it. The New York Times points out whistleblower is a cia employee who spends time at the white house. This individual sinksd on the nsc staff. Now in a new video obtained by bloomberg the president has harsh words for the person who gave the whistleblower that information. You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart, right . With spies and treasons. We use to handle it a little differently than we do now. This as acting director maguire testified three hours defending his handling of the complaints and we have never seen anything like this. This is unprecedented and this is a unique situation. I will stress that i believe that the whistleblower and the Inspector General have acted in good faith throughout. I have every reason to believe that they have done everything by the book and followed the law. Maguire also acknowledged the complaint was based on second hand information but Speaker Pelosi was not satisfied, cautiously pressing ahead in the march to impeachment. This is a coverup. This is a coverup. I think what the dni did was broke the law. The law is very clear. This is nothing that we take lightly. Maguire had a long day. He also testified before the Senate Intelligence committee behind closed doors. Guys, its now unclear what steps come next. Lawmakers have suggested possibly having the whistleblower come before congress or even calling attorney general barr Rudy Giuliani to hear what they have to say, device. Steve griff. Just to be clear, at the beginning of that we said that Top Republicans are interested in the whistleblower sources. They dont want the identity of the whistleblower revealed. Right . Thats right. Everyone is more or less praising the whistleblower and whistleblowers in general trying to protect their identity, but it appears thi the fact that this second hand information is certainly something that republicans, steve, have seized upon in really trying to drive home a points. In fact, one republican, John Ratcliffe saying this is just like the steele dossier all over again. Steve i have read that all right. Griff, thank you very much. Brian meanwhile, hogan gidley joined us earlier. Is he white house communications. And he is trying to let everybody know there is not a lot there there. He says democrats quickly accuse trump of coverup. He doesnt understand what most people dont understand is they are concerned about communications with World Leaders about whats happened in the past with the philippines, about whats happened in the past with theresa may of the u. K. The australian leader as well as the leader of mexico. Listen. Nancy pelosi went on television saying the president had committed a crime, that she had the evidence before we had actually released the transcript. It is very clear democrats do not care about the facts. These leaks are dangerous. People in this government are entrusted with secure, Sensitive Information that deal with the National Security of this country and they are putting it out in the public sphere. Im not sure why. Do they just want to bolster their own careers or get invited to the cocktail parties here in d. C. . Its disgusting but its dangerous for National Security. Congressman Chris Stewart was on with us earlier from utah. He was actually at that hearing and he said this was a coverup. Worst coverup ever because the transcript of the phone call that this whistleblower complained about was released immediately. And if you read the transcript, you can make your own assumptions. You can make your own, you know, your own opinions. But if it were a coverup, the president wouldnt have released it. Steve what was interesting. We had heard what was in the transcript leaked out, you know, the president made promises, quid pro quo, and stuff like that. And then we actually got to read the transcript and its like where are all those things . And then after that we read the complaint from the whistleblower. Its like where are all of those really interesting. Thats one of the things that the republicans were pushing back on yesterday. We have got a montage. We put together a montage of some of the back and forth involving the acting director of National Intelligence joe maguire versus, among other people, the chairman of that committee, adam schiff. The horse has left the barn. You have all of the information. Yes. Im not chit sizing the whistleblower. Im in no position to tell the chair or the committee to do an investigation or not do an investigation. Whistleblower further says in the days following the phone call i learned from multiple u. S. Officials that senior white house officials had intervened to lock down all the records of the phone call. I have no idea whether it is correct or incorrect, sir. Someone should find out though, right . Excuse me . Someone should find out if its correct though, shouldnt they . Again, that is the work that is the business of the executive branch of the white house and the office of the white house. Well, corruption is not the business or shouldnt be of the white house or anyone in it . What the white house decides to do with their Privileged Communications and information, i believe, is the business of the white house. Disirgss you made . Brian is he upset that they didnt go right to the executive branch. He said if you get this information, why did you go to the executive branch . Because this has been unprecedented, normally if its somebody in the Intelligence Community, i know exactly what to do. Because this involves the president , i went to the white House Counsel who went to the department of justice and they went back and forth in this tedious fashion. This thing could have been a 20minute hearing. Steve it could have been. Brian it went three hours. Whistleblower procedures dont protect whistleblower complaints. This guy didnt hear it firsthand. Steve larger than that, what adam schiff is angry about. That is that his committee should have gotten that particular whistleblower complaint a couple of months ago. But because the Inspector General looked at it and said executive privilege thing here, he kicked it to the department of justice. They looked at it and said know it doesnt go to congress. That is why there was such contention yesterday. Now, there is a fellow by the name of fred fleitz. He has been on this show before. He is former chief of staff the nsc he worked the cia, the dia department of state. All sorts of places. He has written an oped in the pages of the New York Post today, the headline is former cia official on whistleblower. How could this be an intelligence matter and one of the quotes is regarding the complaint by the whistleblower. It appears to be written by a law professor and includes legal references and detailed footnotes. It also unusual realistic how this complaints should be classified. From my experience such an extremely polished whistleblower complaint unheard of. This document looks as if this leaker had outside help, possibly from congressional members or ainsley if you read the complaint, the whistleblower is complaining because he says the president talked to the ukraine president and said turn over the servers used by the dnc and examined by crowd strike u. S. Cyber security firm. If you ride the transcript of that conversation between the two president s, our president did mention crowd strike but did he not demand the server. Brian right. So much different. And that was in the the Washington Post editorial. And fred fleitz went ton say it appears as though im very familiar with these transcripts. He goes it appears likely that this socalled whistleblower was pursuing a political agenda. Now, remember how adam schiff sat there and basically met with Michael Cohen a number of times before he went front and center . Im just wondering was there any type of coordination behind the scenes to get certain things out in a more scripted fashion and we know that adam schiff while not funny is certainly a crassic writer. A couple other things. It looks like the Vice President of the United States told the president i dont think you should release the transcript. I dont think its a good idea. And eventually he fell in line, according to the wall street journal, obviously, because the transcript came out. But you already want to see the problem in the ukrainian leaders came out and said i told you i told mike pompeo it was okay to release the president wants side of the conversation. Not mine. And the el salvador leader last night told Martha Mccallum i would absolutely think twice before i got on the phone with the president about what im going to say because now i know its going to get out there. Steve ultimately a smart political move on the part of the white house because Everybody Knows exactly what was in it. Keep in mind. Brian probably had no choice. Steve well, you know, im sure the president feels he was exonerated by it. Because if you were to read the complaint by the whistleblower. Its pretty damning. But then you look at the actual conversation through the transcript, wait a minute, where is that other stuff . Where is that promise . Ainsley if you read the complaint he says demanding the server. If you read the conversation. No he didnt do that read the complaint its quid pro quoment objection. When you read the conversation that didnt happen. Then when you look back at what president obama said i will have more flexibility after the election. When you look back at what joe biden did which was quid pro quo, im not going to give you the money if you dont fire the prosecutor. Listen, this is maybe what the president s do. Maybe they have these conversations. Businesses are run this way where there are certain things that you try to negotiate behind the scenes. Is it an Impeachable Offense . I dont know. You make up your own mind. And let us know. We would love to hear from you. Steve you know, impeachment is based on high crimes and misdemeanors. Ainsley correct which was not evident when you read that. Steve no. But its a political matter. And its whatever Congress Says it is. Ainsley you are right. Steve so its political. One of the other things fred fleitz said its very concerning to him that given what he has read it indicates Intelligence Officers and other federal employees are violating the rules governing president ial phone calls with foreign leaders. There are a lot of laws involved in that. Thats why at the beginning of the program we were talking about how some Top Republicans would like to figure out who these leakers are who are talking to the whistleblowers. Brian i would just like to add this. Something that the white house has to answer succinctly and that is why did you hold back aid . In july and the week before to the points where in august senator johnson and senator murphy republican and democrat went over to visit and we will get to the bottom of it and find out why you held up aid if the president is concerned about corruption. Go ahead. Tell us exactly why because even republican Notice Senate like Lindsey Graham did not know what was holding up the aid. Finally on september 11th the president said give them the money. Thats part of the story line was the president holding back money in order to get something on joe biden in the president doesnt feel that has anything to do with it but the its up to the white house now to clear that up. Ainsley and investigate that right. Steve the white house has said that the president was concerned about corruption and also other countries not kicking in enough money. It goes around and around. 7 11 now in new york city. Jillian joins us with a fox news alert. Jillian following a number of stories.

A member of his legal team jay sekulow up early to tell us more stuff we hope. You take me higher than ive ever been before my feet wont touch the floor to connect. And find inspiration in new places. Leading them to discover were woven together by the moments we share. Everything you need, all in one place. Expedia. Steve fox news alert. Acting dni director facing complaints. Brian the legal team argues he did nothing wrong because there was no quid pro quo. Here to explain is a member of President Trumps legal team and chief counsel for the American Center for law jay sekulow. Jay, when the Mueller Probe are wrapped i thought you could get a vacation but now you are back in with the president. When it comes to this call in particular what did we get out of the acting dni on capitol hill yesterday. You got to the president had a call with a foreign leader. In that call with a foreign leader there was no quid pro quo at all. It was a 30 minute phone call. There was a 14 or 20 second reference to biden. The ukraine president brings up the issue of my colleague Rudy Giuliani and his conversation about corruption issues. And then the call, of course, is released. And then adam schiff does that saturday night live routine that he pulled off yesterday which not only should have been embarrassing for him. Im not sure he was cognizant of the fact that it was embarrassing for him. Why didnt he just real the actual transcript . Brian i know. Then lets read then we release the actual whistleblower complaint. Now, i have been practicing law for 40 years. It was hearsay. The whistleblower acknowledged i have no firsthand knowledge of these events but it was told to me by people. You could not get that admitted to court in the u. S. District court in the middle district of georgia but the congress doesnt even bother reading that. What do they do . They do we have the adam schiff parody. Do you know what this is . Political theater. There is no there there. There was no violation of law, rule, or regulation. And what you had yesterday was another faux investigation. What are they trying to do . Russia did not work out like they thought. The great bob mueller interview was going to be the big deal. Steve jay, you know what they are trying to do they are trying to impeach the president. Nancy pelosi said people in the administration took the transcript of the call with the ukraine president and put it in a secret super secret top secret. Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Steve, think about that for a moment. The white house secured a call with the president of ukraine . Steve yeah, but the whistleblower. So secretive and such coverup here is the documents. This is nuts. This is nonsense. Steve the whistleblower said they put it in the super code word protected computers that they hardly ever put things in. Well, the whistleblower or what i dont even like calling this individual a whistleblower, this individual that decided to spy on the president s conversation based on here say information thats a better way of saying it. But, whatever you want to do on that front, this individual had no first hand knowledge of anything. Nothing. Had no idea. Said it. So when you witness saying steve and brian i have no knowledge of the events im depicting here and im basing this on conversations i had with colleagues of mine and i think they are trustworthy, do you know if they heard it correctly . I dont know because i dont have firsthand knowledge. And do you think the whistleblower drafted that complaint . I mean realistically . Brian you think did they have help . Look at at the phraseology, the end notes and footnotes. This wasnt drafted by this individual. This was written by a law firm. And do you know what . The American People see it for what it is. No one has the nobody has the appetite for this anymore. They want to keep doing it . Call for a vote. Call jerry nadler and adam schiff. Call for a vote. Brian did the president cancel the v. P. s trip for inauguration secretary perry to send a message . I am not going to opine on what the decision was between the president , the Vice President , the secretary of state, about the attending the ukraine the president of ukraines inauguration. I will say this. This is a wellknown issue. The issue of corruption in the ukraine while they were getting aid to the United States is well documented it was a serious problem. But, at the end of the day, the aid was given it was given in september of this year. So it happened this month. Brian gotcha. The important part here is, look, dont feel good, American People. I mean, it was fine that the white house decided to make this release of the transcript. But that should have everybody concerned. Brian jay sekulow, thanks so much.

Why am i angry . Because you havent done anything to fix it. Nothing. There is no downside in securing our border. There is no downside in ilLegal Immigration being decreased. There is no downside less drugs come to this country. The time of the gentleman has expired. I have asked you on my time. You let other people go beyond their time. Mr. Homan. You work for me. Im a taxpayer. [gavel] im a taxpayer. You work for me. Joining us now retired ice director tom homan. Tom, you work fouse. Just for the record. You are a fox news contributor. Just make that clear. [laughter] in particular, they had to know what they were getting when you showed up. Do you think that you heard you got your point across that ice are not the bad guys and women. They are the ones trying to enforce the laws and they downside of sanctuary cities. Do you think a point was made . Oh, absolutely. I think i got to say everything i had to say. I had to force it. I had to keep interrupting them. Look, im under oath and im not going to let them sit there and tell lies about my president. Tell lies about the men and women of the Border Patrol and ice. It was lie after lie. Then its my responsibility to set the record straight because they are out and out lying. They are not going to shut me down and not let me respond at certain point. No, im not going to shut up. You lied. You know, im under oath. You should be under oath. And at the point just because you have a gavel doesnt make you know the queen of the day. It doesnt allow to you lie to the American People. You need to be held accountable. They are not under oath. I will find that incredible when congressman arent under oath when they are in that room and i am. Im not going to tolerate them lying to the American People ainsley when i watched it i realize how political its all gotten. You said the same issues that you are complaining about now were the same issues when president obama was in office. And you said when we came to yall and we asked you for money under obama yall were quick to give us the money. We never saying where is the money we need the money. But nowadays you are saying that why is that . They dont forget they want to forget. They made a comment. President trump is violating law when he moves money within, taking from other agencies for more beds. Violating the sanctity of the congressional responsibility. Wait a minute, six out of the 8 years president obama is in office, we did that same exact thing. I didnt see any hearings on that. And i told her, i said this is wrong. Its dishonest and pathetic call the president out for violating the law he didnt for the same thing president obama did six out of eight years. Thats mistruth to the American People. Thats misleading the American People. Thats a false narrative they continue to push. Im not going to let them sit there and get away with it. Steve tom, they didnt like your message because you essentially said look, there are problems down south and yall can fix it because the administration for the last two years you said have asked congress to close three loopholes and they have just sat on their hands. That was my point. One of the congressman said you are blustered and angry. Yeah im angry because children are dying. 31 of women being raped. Cartels getting rich. You complain about the tent conditions. Claim 65,000 people in detention. Its your fault. Look in the mirror. If you were work wearing this president to secure the border and close those loopholes. None of this would have happen. Family separation wouldnt have happened. This son you and your failure. Not the men and women on the Border Patrol and ice. Certainly not our president. Not our president. Brian you cannot diminish the help that el salvador, mexico, honduras. They are rallying and listening and helping us out because congress is not. And thats the sad day in america when Foreign Countries doing more to secure our border than lip in congress. Pathetic. Brian resourcefulness of this administration. Thank you, tom. You got it. Brian still upset about losing the election. Listen. Applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of recommendation and losing to a corrupt human tornadoes. Brian pete hegseth not corrupt and a tornado has something to say about that next. Steve he is when did you see the sign . When i needed to jumpstart sales. Build attendance for an event. Help people find their way. Fastsigns designed new directional signage. And got them back on track. Get started at fastsigns. Com. Brian aaron watson singing outta style. Thank you for joining us. Steve always instyle pete hegseth joins us now. Brian your shoes are the day. I didnt know this was a thing people wanted to be comfortable. Brian. Pete like work running shoe. Ainsley running show mixed with a golf show and work shoe. Pete want to be doing it all. Steve in our job we need running shoes. How did you feel about i think a lot of people hadnt ever seen the acting director of National Intelligence joe maguire since yesterday. Ainsley he is the top spy. Steve he has had a lot of jobs in public service. Is he a career Public Servant of various stripes and sea no nonsense guy. The democrats tried to rattle him. Tried to get him to say there was a coverup and the president broke the laws and stuff like that. He never did. Said, look, im just following the law. Pete you can tell he is not a partisan guy worked under multiple administrations republican and democrat. When i look back at this entire process it happened so fast and so packaged from the document to the transcript to the actual complaint and it all feels like someone had this planned and they knew exactly what they wanted to do. We have been using this phrase whistleblower which i know was a legal term designated to the person. Steve to protect them. Pete doesnt feel like a whistleblower. It feels like he or she used a Legal Process in order to be a leaker. So, its one thing to leak these conversations that the president might have or what he is saying. Its another thing to use the whistleblower process through which your leak becomes validated as a whistleblower complaint. Ainsley do you think the Democratic Leaders were on board with this long before . Pete listen to the whistleblower someone got. Brian everyone said it was great. So well put together. Pete the most professional whistleblower document have you ever seen based on second hand knowledge and hearsay . This is clearly someone who understands the process. And, again, the call didnt match the complaint as we point out. There is a lot of discrepancies because if something is hearsay, thats what happens. I want to know who the hearsayer is i know the president. Steve you mean the leakers . Pete the person who told the person who became the second hand whistleblower. Steve apparently ad according to the report on this and whistleblower complaint. Half a dozen people inside the white house presumably. Brian im im the president of United States. Steve who talked to this guy. Im maddened by that the reality. And he should be, and his intelligence. Steve called a traitor yesterday, a spy. I know he has gotten criticism for how we treat and i have had my own criticism of how far we handle detainees at guantanamo bay. We have gone very soft in the way we react to things that shouldnt be done to the president of the United States or any elected official. Ainsley could the president say hey, you know what . I dont want 12 people listening to my calls anymore. Pete how can you be the top diplomat alongside mike pompeo and have these contentious conversations or friendly conversations with World Leaders and not trust that executive privilege will be adhered to . Brian if you look at the president of the United States if he is trying to do acting like a mob boss and hold this over the ukrainian leader. No one tells the ukrainian leader that if you watched him side by side with the president on wednesday, number one, number two. The president is going to be a mob boss, how many mob bosses dont tell everyone on going on a secure line everyone out of the room. Evident i he was having a casual congratulations on your win conversation. And thats why it was so general people were not prepared for what was actually in that conversation. The worse mob boss ever . Is he ever a master manipulator or worse mop boss ever. If you have ever had a conversation with the president it can go from issue a to b and c very quickly and rapidly based on the things he is prioritizing at the moment in this case it was the call with the ukraine president. What we saw on the russia stuff has he is exhausted and ukraine thing again same characters and same accusations. Here he is a traitor to his country and the political process when none of the evidence, once it all comes out. Points to that its all the rush in the media walltowall. Brian guess who agrees to with you, the Washington Post lead editorial. The democrats sprint in front of evidence. And they go point by point how the promise from the whistleblower did not add up to what was in the call. Pete American People insufferable coverage last week something we didnt know anything about all because they hate the president. Brian calling our coverage insufferable. Pete not talking but guys. Other channels a half mile away from here. Steve on the couch you will be here this weekend doing what. Pete mark levin will be on this weekend for us. Ainsley really good i love him.

He became a suspect when he called out sick for two days after the heist. The lawyer says they will fight the charges. Take a look at this photo shopped image that helped a wealthy family get their kid into college. A father paid for the phony image so his son could go to usc as a water polo player. He will spend four months in prison as part of a plea agreement. And so will another father in the College Admission scandal. Steven paid 400,000 to get his son into georgetown as a fake tennis recruit. Actress Felicity Huffman was sentenced to two weeks in prison. Lori loughlin has pleaded not guilty to her charges.

What did you just say . Wah, wah, my ears are pulsing and there is no way to console me. Think about this Japan Airlines has a solution to that the airlines new website actually allows passengers to see where infants are sitting when booking a ticket that way they can avoid sitting by the babies that are potentially going to cry. Brian you might choose to sit next to the infant. Steve what parallel ains eyewitness or if you have an infant sit to another infant and play and commiserate as a parent. Steve i think its great idea. Jillian, thank you. Brian your move, jetblue. Steve out to the streets of new york city. Ainsley doesnt want to sit with me.

President trump meeting with hundreds of sheriffs from across the country and being honored for his support of Law Enforcement as well as border control. [applause] sheriffs across the country you have done more in these three years [inaudible] its a great honor and i have tremendous respect for the people standing alongside of me. Thank you. [applause] brian the president gets a plaque and he gets some gratitude. Our next guest presented that plaque to the president in appreciation. He is massachusetts sheriff tom sheriff, why was it important for you to be there yesterday and for the others to join you . Well, brian, we were there because, first of all, we were at the capitol the day before with the angel moms and dads and we wanted to be at the white house to be able to let this president know, President Trump, he is the one person thats kept his promise focused on helping us do our mission and our promise to people to keep them safe by dealing with think Legal Immigration issue. Nobody has been more resolute than the president of the United States, excuse me, and his resolve and his laser focus on this issue, in spite of all of this nonsense and distraction that has been going on for 20 years with congress they have been ignoring the problem while we are watching more drugs pouring into our neighborhoods, gang violence. People are being killed, 4500 a year by criminal illegal aliens. Congress turns a blind eye and deaf ear and this president refuses to do it and he has given our footing back. We want him to know how much the sheriffs across this nation are going to be supporting him all the way through this and we had his back. Brian do you know whats interesting, sheriff. You are not asking for more money. You are not asking for nicer cars. You are just asking for respect. You havent been getting that. No. We hadnt. You know, this president when he before he took office he said im going to reinstate the rule of law. He has kept that promise. For Law Enforcement that means the world to us. When we are out there on the streets, we are doing the same thing that the president want to do give the citizens of this nation the fundamental responsibility of government which is to keep them and their family safe. To keep the drugs out. Brian sheriff, you know what . People like to simplify this argument and say if you crack down on ilLegal Immigration, you are cracking down on the hispanic community. Whats the truth . The truth is this isnt about any one community. This is about whether or not people are upholding the laws of the United States and are respecting the law. There is politicians out there that want to create this special class of people who dont have to be accountable to the law. Brian i just think when it comes to the voting booth, if you are in Law Enforcement or Law Enforcement family, the president has got to feel pretty good about his track record. I think thats what you underlined yesterday. Sheriff tom hodgeson of massachusetts thank you so much. You got it. Have a great day. Brian i will. You have a great weekend. Senator Elizabeth Warren beating out joe biden for the first time in a Major National poll. Now, wall street democrat donors are warning, quote we will sit out or back trump if you nominate Elizabeth Warren. How bad is it . Twotime member of president obamas National Finance committee don peebles weighs in. Guess what Elizabeth Warren said . I endorse that message. Game on. D. Upbeat music luckily theres febreze plug. It cleans away odors and freshens for 1200 hours. [deep inhale] breathe happy with febreze plug. Were family. Wed do anytbut this time. Her. Those bonds were definitely tested. Frog leg, for my baby brother dont frogs have like, two legs . So they should have two of these . Since im active duty and shes family, i was able to set my sister up with a sweet membership from navy federal. If you hold it closer, it looks bigger. Eat your food my big sis likes to make tiny food. And im okay with that. Navy federal credit union. Our members, are the mission. Steve 2020 democratic president ial hopeful Elizabeth Warren screen left beating out joe biden for the first time in a Major National poll. She is at 27. He is at 25. Still within the margin of error. Now wall street democratic donors are warning the party, quote will sit out or back trump if you nominate Elizabeth Warren. Here to weigh in is chairman and ceo of Peebles Corporation and twotime member of president obamas finance committee don peebles. Don, good morning to you. Good morning. Steve what do you make of that . It sounds like wall street does not like the idea of the wealth tax and how Elizabeth Warren historically has gone after the big corporation. So they would rather vote for trump than the democrats. Yeah, well, look, she vilified capitalism by and large. She fill phis wall street. She vilifies businesses and corporations. We would be fools to support someone who vilifies us and who wants to disrupt the free system that we have, the free market system. But its not just wall street. I mean, the Business Community as a whole, especially minorities are not going to support her. I would be shocked if she gets out of the primary as a nominee. Steve why is she surging right now . Only people paying attention to this right now. So far out and so many of them is this, you know, this far left group its impeach trump. Burn down the house, burn down the democracy, turn everything upside down. Everyone else is on with their lives trying to get ahead. Steve if its trump vs. Warren wall street a lot of democrats are going to vote for trump. Quietly vote for trump and maybe give him a little bit of money or sit it out. I would say that would be the circumstances. Steve because you are so well tied to the Democratic Party. What do you make of the push toward impeachment in the house right now . I mean, i think its a nonproductive exercise. One, i think it will hurt democrats later on. Because there are so many issues confronting the country. And if congress could use their energy to focus on addressing some of those issues. I mean, our country would move forward. We had an election. Trump won it. Now its time to position, to win the next time around. But that is four years in between. Three of them should be used for governing. I think its going to hurt the party. Steve nancy pelosi sounded like impeachment the last thing on her radar. Okay we are having official impeachment inquiry. We are getting closer and closer to perhaps a vote in the house. If that happens, what happens to the democrats in congress . I think people will start saying why are you focusing on this and makes them look like sore losers. I think they will ask the country is going to ask at least some of the key constituencies the ones that are going to shape an election are going to ask, why . This is an election not about getting the true believers to vote for you. Its the persuadabling. Thats why Elizabeth Warren is not a good candidate. She cant persuade those in the center and those over to the right to vote for her. Steve nancy pelosi lose the speakership if she goes on with the impeachment thing . Im not sure about that. I think that the reality is. Steve meaning the democrats lose . I think the democrats can hold the house of representatives based on how the district is set up right now and where the mood of the country is. That would be surprising to see them hold on to a slim margin and trump reelected. Which will be, i mean, disappointing to all democrats. Steve all right. Cautionary words, don peebles, founder and chairman and ceo of Peebles Corporation. Sir, thank you very much. Thank you. Steve all right. Coming up the president and Top Republicans wanted answers who leaked information to the whistleblower . Geraldo, coming up next. Steve this is a fox news alert. 8 00 in new york city. Tom sop republicans are demanding to know who leaked information to that now famous whistleblower who made the complaint about President Trumps phone call and dealings with ukraine. Brian comes after a tense hearing with the deek are to have National Intelligence. One in front and behind closed doors with the senate. Ainsley the whistleblower could be a cia officer. Griff . Reporter good morning. New york times reports that the whistleblower is a cia employee who spent time assigned to the white house. Sources tell fox news that the individual served on the nsc staff. In video obtained by bloomberg, that the president has harsh words for the person who behave the whistleblower the information. That is close to a spy. You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart with spies and treason. We used to handle it a little differently now. Reporter acting dny Joseph Maguire testified for three hours defending his handling of the complaint. We have never seen anything like this. This is unprecedented and this is a unique situation. I want to stress that i believe the whistleblower and the Inspector General acted in good faith throughout. I have every reason to believe they have done everything by the book and followed the law. Reporter maguire acknowledged that the complaint was based on secondhand information. Speaker pelosi is cautious pushing ahead to impeachment. This is coverup. This is a coverup. I think what the dni did was broke the law. The law is very clear. This is nothing we take lightly. Reporter maguire testified before the Senate Intelligence committee behind closed doors. We dont know whether or not the whistleblower will be called to congress by lawmakers. In recess the next two weeks democrats will travel to ukraine to further investigate this. Steve booed to know. Geraldo joins us. It is friday. Hello, everybody. Steve what is your headline for the week . We had the whistleblower complaint. We had a transcript of the phone call. Coverup from nancy pelosi. I was brutally reminded that the democrats have sought the impeachment of donald trump from the first minute he was elected. Even before that. They have tried the nuclear approach, the whole russia collusion, illusion, delusion, was the big banana we all thought, once you resolved that they would move on. But i have to admit when you look at the four corners of the tape regarding zelensky, the ukrainian, i think you can make the construction, i personally dont but i see how people might make the connection between listen, go check out joe biden and hunter biden and well see about steve youre a lawyer is there a quid pro quo there . I think it is much too imprecise to be a quid but this is not about precision. This is now about politics. Does that give them a logical lever to now talk donald trump on the way out . They know as they accumulate house members, and you know, nancy pelosi is counting up to her, i mean 218 majority. Brian she has got them. She will know. She will impeach which is indictment. They will indict the president. Only fourth time in history a president will be indicted. Actually only third time president in history. So President Trump will be indicted. The senate will take that case and in short order say there is no way that 2 3 vote in the United States which would require 20 republicans to go on the other side. It will be an exercise that upsets us. I think that it will detract us. I think it will affect the stock market in a negative way. I think every committee, just as we feared in 2018 when the house fell to the democrats. It is going to be investigate, investigate, charge, investigate and nothing will happen. Brian the whole thing, Washington Post goes to actually the president s defense says the democrats are sprinting in front of evidence. Keep in mind john durham is interviewing, finding out the genesis of ukraines role in the election. They say, they say that the witness was not a direct witness. It is ridiculous to think that the president is saying can you help us with an investigation is something that is impeachable. Well, just seems to me, brian, when you hear the conversations the democrats are having, they are brian they can all the conversations. That theyre going ahead with impeachment process. Ainsley they are definitely going to do that. The senate, they will not get 2 3 in the senate. Can the president still run again in 2020 and how will this affect his election . Of course. It will be interesting to see hot American People perceive the process. Will the president be treated fairly. You remember when kavanaugh was grilled. Will there be no bilateral on anything. Brian they have he has raised 13 million since the impeachment articles. We talk about impeachment. When we have the time. Ainsley a lot of people say he is not perfect but he is better than the all tern tougher which would be Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. I have known him forever. Network says 11,000 lies and 15,000 lies. He is a real estate guy. He has braggadocio. That phone call to the ukrainian president reminded me of him selling real estate deal. Hey, we do this. By the way you do that. I can see the stream of consciousness. Steve geraldo, yesterday the acting dni being grilled. Maguire i thought he did a good guy. Grilled by the democrats. Lauded by a lot of republicans. What is interesting he is giving the facts. They had all the facts the committee did, the complaint the whistleblower filed. They had seen the classified version the night before. Adam schiff rather than looking at the facts decided to actually make up what he call as parody to make it sound worse. After saturday night live. Steve you never know. This is friday morning. Watch. This is the essence of what the president communicates. Weve been very good to your country, very good. No other country has done as much as we have but you know what . I dont see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor i want from you though. And im going to say this only seven times so you better listen good. I want to you make up dirt on my political opponent, understand, lots of it. On this and on that. Steve none of that a laugh riot. Steve the president in the last couple mens has been tweeting and tweeting this out about the congressman from california. Representative adam schiff fraudulently read to congress with millions of people watching a version of my conversation with the president of ukraine. That does not exist. He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call but he completely changed the words to make it sound horrible and me sound guilty. He was desperate and got caught. Adam schiff lied to congress and attempted to defraud the american public. He has been doing this for two years. Im calling for him to resign immediately from Congress Based on this fraud. Geraldo . Brian i dont think he would. This was awkward on the president s behalf. I wish he did not make the phone call to the ukrainian president. I think that even though you can parse it and i think that he will be strong Going Forward, certainly on the senate side of it. Steve you said it wasnt illegal . It is not illegal except if you construe it in the most evil way possible. If you construe it to mean that he said go after joe biden and hunter biden and we will if i have you the aid as the democrats are trying to define and couch it i think thats a problem. I think at the very least he has got to explain in very lucid and comprehensive way what exact he meant. Steve intent . I would like to know what happened to the aid . Was 400 million of aid delivered . What did they use the money for. Brian september 11th it was delivered. Did it all go to weapons . The. Brian the breakdown, no one has said what the breakdown was exactly the senate okayed. It has heat tall weapons in there lethal weapons something barack obama wasnt willing to do. The ukraine leader said i appreciate everything you have done for us over the last 2 1 2 years. On july 19th the aid was held up. Why . Why would the Vice President who is supposed to go the inauguration, represent the administration why did he not go. Why did secretary perrigo instead . What happened when murphy and johnson went over to the talk to the ukrainian leader. Rob portman came out in august. I talked to the president about it, had nothing to do with any type of conversation on joe biden. The conversation was about corruption. And then rob portman said we need to get emthat that money, a week later they got the money. That is what the president has going for him. It gets back to my main question, the 69dollar question. Where did the money go . Was the money used to buy weapons or was the money used to line pockets of the corrupt people that the president is complaining about. Ainsley you would have to have proof of quid pro quo. You would have to have proof. Ainsley a month later after that conversation or two months later, if we dont have proof that the president was holding back because he wasnt getting information about joe bidens son, he is not guilty. That is what a reasonable person would assess the situation. I see it differently. After listening to the democrats, they believe that they have it now. That everything else, russia collusion, stormy daniels, taxes, making money on hotels theyre going to put everything away, laser focus on this. This is be what the impeachment will be about, maybe one or other two other little things. President of the United States in a conversation intercepted by a rotten snitch. I would love to what him. That is another story. Imagine this president his whole tenure in office has been marked by snitches and rats, backstabbers. Amazing how he functions at all. He will have to defend that statement. It will be the essence of impeachment. I think they will lose democrats on the way to indicting him. Steve thank you very much for your point of view. Have a great weekend. You too. Steve meantime news time. Jillian lets begin with a fox news alert. A fa Highway Patrol car involved in a horrific crash overnight in orlando. All lanes of traffic have been closed for hours. The patrol car appears to be stuck under the utility vehicle. There was a Massive Police presence on the scene this morning. No word on conditions of everyone else involved. Evacuations for a major gas leak. Thousands in boston waking up without power. They are removing Manhole Covers to prevent an explosion. One year ago this same area was hit by a deadly gas line explosions. The line was overpressurized for maintenance. One person was killed. 100 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Breaking right now, youre taking a live look at the nations capitol where earth strike protesters block the streets. The group is planning to target Trump International hotel. The epa as well as fossil fuel backers. Protests are taking place worldwide today, including in rome and india. Send it back to you. Steve just another busy day. Thank you very much. It is our top story. The whistleblower, may according to the New York Times a cia officer. Our next guest is a cia officer and a democrat, he says the Intel Community is out of control. Brian the whistleblower who made the complaint about President Trumps phone call according to New York Times would be a cia officer of the as democrat use this, use this as a basis for impeachment . Does this reveal a bigger political agenda . Here with reaction former cia officer and democrat, brian dean wright. Brian, you say this is an indication, the cia, the Intelligence Community is out of control. In what way . We have seen this for the past three years t started with comey and clapper and brennan releasing that steele dossier in january of 2017, pushing that into the public. Kneecapping the president. Starts there. We now have somebody who the i. G. Himself has said has a political animus to the president. This is cia analyst, senior official who we now believe to be the whistleblower has this political animus. Weve seen this book end, i hate to use conspiracy, certainly a degree of political bias in the Intelligence Community, usually at the highest levels. In my estimation that not working level. Were not talking about the gs12s or 13s or 14s. But at senior levels we see this over and over again and it has got to stop. Brian gina haspel is the current director has to put her Senior Officers through renewed series of investigations and scrutiny, really . I think so. How can you say or believe that that is not the case . Look at a couple Different Things what weve seen in the past few years. A guy named ned price was on the nsc down with obama. Eventually transitioned over to the Trump Administration. Came out with this scathing oped in the Washington Post said all these terrible things about the president. Fine. He can have an opinion. But he didnt disclose the fact he is a democrat and since gone on and become a contributor with msnbc or nbc the point is if people in the Intelligence Community bash the president , done about all the terrible things they have to acknowledge their bias. That is the problem i have with this whistleblower. We know from the ig they have a bias they didnt disclose that the i. G. Had to find out about. But now the American People are being told look, were going to impeach the president on the allegations of anonymous whistleblower who didnt have firsthand access to the information, has a political bias, who has sources that also might have biases, guess what, america, you cant ask any questions about any of those people because they have certain protections. Now thats bizarre. That is a sham. That doesnt make any sense. That is an effort, ultimately to kneecap, to hit the president of the United States. This president or any president. Its a horrific precedent of what we are doing. By the way, the American People back me up on this. The poll came out last night, 75 of america wants this whistleblower and his sources to testify in front of congress. So if youre in going to take out the president particularly as a former Intelligence Officer you better stand up, do it publicly. Brian bryan, do you think there is better readout of the call than the fivepages we got . Or is that basically what you have, notes from calls with World Leaders . Look, that is going to be the essence of it. There may be some additional clarification that you might get from somebody who was in the room but the vast majority of what we need to know is in that transcript. I tip my hat to the president for releasing it. It was the right thing to do. We can look and all have the conversation. But again, if you look at that transcript, if you look at the fallout from that so far, it has been impeachment. Well move forward with impeachment. Brian yeah. There is no real desire to collect additional facts. What does that tell you this is about . This tells you that this isnt about trying to get facts. We decided as part of the Democratic Party im sorry to say we decided to get rid of the president , move forward with it irrespective of facts. That is clear. Brian my hope the American People will let their lawmakers know over the next two weeks this is not where we want to go, i think congressman green gave away the gameplan, if we dont impeach the president he might win reelection. That is the gameplan. Bryan dean wright. Thanks so much. Appreciate your passion. Pleasure. Brian straight ahead senator Richard Blumenthal blasting president s call with the leader of ukraine. Donald trump is going to choke on this supposed nothing burger. Brian okay. Dr. Bill bennett says just another example of democratic derangement. He joins us next. By the strolle s [ growl ] good boy. Hey. Hey. You must be stevens phone. Know whos on your network and control who shouldnt be with xfinity xfi. Simple. Easy. Awesome. To use the bathroom while the whole bathroom up there is empty is wrong. Brian tantrum over bathroom access, forcing Emergency Landing. Another passenger posting the video from the Alaska Airlines flight. The passenger upset because he couldnt use the first class facilities. He was arrested when the flight landed in kansas city and left for los angeles without him. And this passenger wanted access to the great outdoors. The woman opening an emergency exit door for a breath of fresh air. Nice job. This happening as the flight was boarding in china. The woman was arrested. Everyone got arrested except steve and ainsley. Steve meanwhile the whistleblower complain against President Donald Trump is under the microscope by House Democrats as he move towards impeachment. On the senate side some of the colleagues are issuing a warning to the president. Donald trump is going to choke on this supposed nothing burger. He will go down with this supposed nothing burger in his throat. Because what it shows is repeated, concerted, premediated criminal conduct. Ainsley but is their own political agenda fueling this investigation push . Steve lets talk to former drug czar and george h. W. Bush administration and host of the wiseguys over on fox nation, dr. Bill bennett. Doctor, good morning. Hi, guys. How are you . Steve Lindsey Graham referred to what is going on big nothing burger. There is no there there when you read the transcript. Blumenthal says well this supposed nothing burger was something that he would choke on. What do you make of what the senator from connecticut has been saying . There is a ton of comments. You heard them. You played them. That struck me, he is going down, he is going to choke, stick in his throat this nothing burger. What this shows i think the kind of anger and even hatred of this president by, by his political opponent. And it is blinded them, it is blinded them to the degree that they think they can make something out of nothing. And there is nothing here in this transcript that is impeachable. What is going around is something, a lot of people said, will you, you can impeachment is anything that congress wants. Yeah, they can impeach the president for liking burnt steak and ketchup if they want, but it has to be plausible, they have to make the sale to the American People. And this wont. He was having a perfectly sensible conversation with the president of the ukraine. As the Washington Post points out this morning, good reason to talk to the ukrainians about the 2016 election and problems that might have been there so he was perfectly within his rights. But this thing has the flavors, steve, ainsley, of an obsession. Remember les mis with them pursuing, or if that is two highbrow, wiley coyote and roadrunner. Wiley coyote steps off the cliff and looks down and drops. I think that will happen here. What is feeding them is not the facts, because the facts are not on their side but their hatred of donald trump. That is a very ugly thing. Ainsley how does this all play out . We all do love our country, and we care so much about it. Watching this there is so much theatrics. Someone told me it is like a broadway play, and you mentioned les mis. This is disheartening especially with our grandparents fighting in world war ii, the greatest generation, there is so much venom, choking on the burger . Couple things, in small letters i think it plays out well for donald trump. I think that he comes out of this very well. Apparently according to fundraising numbers he is doing very well since this all started. This will destroy biden, this plus Elizabeth Warren. He is already going down. The more attention that is paid to, the worse i think biden will look. In terms of your larger question, which is a great question, ainsley, the republic does need some unification. We need to talk about some of those things that unite us that we share instead of these horrible divisions. Our politics which ought to be a instrument of change and improvement is now become largely weaponized and that is a shame. So we need to remember those stories that bring us together as americans. I noticed the praise that you all notice, that for the director of National Intelligence, while they were under their breath calling him deceitful and dereliction of duty, they were all very careful but we appreciate your service. Lets remember those moments. At least we still have that. We can agree on that but im afraid that transcending that now are hateful partisan politics. Democrats will regret this im afraid deeply. Steve wise words from the host of the wiseguys on fox nation, thank you, for making a house call. Remember the iconic scene from the movie, National Lampoon vacation. Do something. Ainsley well Christie Brinkley just recreated it 36 years later. She probably looks the same. You got to go see it. Steve plus judge jeanine is here. Youre watching fox friends live from new york city. There lots of people who are confused about which medicare plan is right for them. Hey, thats me. I barely know where to start. Well, start here with me, karen. Im a licensed humana sales agent. Well, its nice to meet you, karen. Im john smith. Hi, john. At humana, we know youre unique. So you have different needs from other john smiths. Yeah, ive always thought so. And together, we can find a plan thats right for you. Great i go to the doctor a couple of times a year.

I want to congratulate the democrats of roll out of latest Information Warfare operation against the president. And their extraordinary ability to once again enlist the Mainstream Media in their campaign. The democrats simply move the goalposts claimed there doesnt need to be a quid pro quo for this conversation to serve as a basis for impeaching the president. They dont want answers. They want a public spectacle. Brian they might have articles of impeachment by october. Joining us right now is judge jeanine. The same woman who hosts justice with jeanine. Justice with judge jeanine. Ainsley she is a judge. Brian tell about her book. She wrote a book, called, radicals, resistence and revenge, the lefts plot to remake america. Judge, what did you think about that hearing yesterday . You know what . This is the ultimate revenge because these radicals have been resisting the president , resisting us for putting him in the white house and this is the ultimate revenge. Everything they have done they did long ago. Look, what is about to come out what is about to be declassified . I have a chapter in my book, every time the president does something worth noting theyre closing in on russia, closing in on russia. The only reason i talk about yesterday because its a prelude what were going to see. What we have now is this whole impeachment effort that has been in the works for four, since he walked into the oval office. My concern is this, youve got a phone call by a sitting president. He is a chief executive of this country and for these people to say that that man does not have the right to call another president of another country and say were looking into what happened with the 2016 election. The genesis of the meddling in our American Election and can you help us with that . For the democrats to say there is something wrong with that, they are so left field. We spent two years looking into that, 35 million youre saying the president cant call up and say if you can help us with that, we have a Little Information about that . By the way, lets get joe biden out of the way right now. Joe biden is the one who six months before the president is on this phone call is saying, you know i held up this money, american taxpayer dollars, so they got rid of the prosecutor, who by the way was looking to investigate, was investigating his son, looking to interrogate him because he was on a board of a company for which he had absolutely no background and no training. Come on steve judge, what do you make of when you look at the whistleblower complaint, all six pages, nine pages, whatever . Right. Steve were you stuck by how legal it looked . We had mr. Sekulow with us about an hour ago and he said it looked like it had been prepared by a law firm. There is no question about it. This whistleblower whoever he is if he is a cia guy, it doesnt matter. This was a setup. This is hearsay. It is absolutely inadmissible in court. He put together a legal argument, this guy overheard other people talking . I want to know who the other people . Who were the other people in the white house looking to sink our president . As far as im concerned on the concept, people around him, looking to get information out, so the democrats can get him out of office because theyre never going to beat him. Ainsley one person, one person who listened to that conversation told someone else secondhandedly, now it turned into all of this. It turned into all of this, nancy pelosi comes out before we have even seen the transcript. Its a coverup. He broke the law. Brian she wants attorney general barr, an hour ago, looking at barr, get rid of him, get rid of the president. They were resisting barr the day he came in. Now they want him to recuse himself. This is a game. America doesnt want the gamesmanship anymore. America wants a strong economy. We have a soaring economy right now. They want a Strong Military which is what we have. They want the stock market to keep kicking. They want the president to be able to focus. I have to tell you something. I looked at the president the day they came out of the u. N. Spoke to 98 countries in three days, that is exaggeration obviously, if schiff can do a parody on something as serious as this, that in itself was terribles but you know, he has to say to himself, im killing myself. Im killing myself to make this country safe. An every time i turn around i get incoming. You know what . Shame on the democrats. Brian coming from the inside. The cia, somebody at the white house leaked it out. They predicted it. Chuck schumer said you dont play around with the Intelligence Community. They get you six ways to sunday. Brian watch you over the weekend. You will . Brian well read your book. Steve radicals, resistance and revenge. Judge jeanine. Ainsley brian, judge. Brian judge. Steve time for news with jillian.
