Both President Trump and irans president are in new york city tonight, setting the stage for a possible showdown is the fallout from the saudi oil attack defense. State Department Spokesperson joins us live in moments. Also tonight, its a cornerstone of this administration, protecting religious freedom, and President Trump is allocating 25 billion to the cause. We will speak to the ambassador at large for International Religious freedom. Hello and welcome to fox news night, im mike emanuel in for shannon bream. We begin tonight with gillian turner, shes got the latest from President Trump on this whistleblower complaint. Good evening. Good evening, mike. Sources are confirming to fox news fox news the whistleblower doesnt have firsthand knowledge of the phone call between President Trump, president zelinski of ukraine. Youre told the president and white house aides now debating whether to release a transcript of that call to prove his point. President trump says its totally fine for the president to talk to foreign leaders of our corruption, admitting he spoke to ukraines president about joe and hunter biden on july 25th. He says it was nothing more than business as usual. We are supporting a country. We want to make sure that country is honest. If you dont talk about corruption, why would you give money to a country that you think is corrupt . He also insists there was no quid pro quo when it came to withholding military aid to ukraine. Did you tell the ukrainian leader that they would have the aid only if they investigated joe biden and his family . I didnt. No, i didnt. I did not make a statement that you have to do this are not going to give you. I wouldnt do that. So that transcript of the call now at the center of a raging debate here in washingto washington. Democrats demanding to see it, mike. Mike with the latest from the director of National Intelligence on this transcript issue . So dni lawyers are telling fox news they are not handing the whistleblower complaint itself over to congress as they are required to do by law because the complaint involves confidential and potentially Privileged Communications by persons outside the Intelligence Community. So essentially they are saying theyre withholding it in order to protect the person who wrote it. If the Democratic Leaders like senator Chuck Schumer are accusing republicans of wussing out, calling them silent and submissive. How long must we meet for a republican colleagues to rise up to their response abilities to the constitution to separation of power and rules of law when President Trump brazenly violates the law. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is giving the trump team until thursday to provide the complaint. If shes threatening that failing to meet the deadline will lead to a brave new chapter of lawlessness in which the u. S. Will be led into a whole new stage of an investigation. President trump though isnt sweating it. How seriously are you taking the impeachment talk . Not at all seriously. A phone call with the president of ukraine. Everybody knows it, its just a democrat witch hunt. Late tonight, the Washington Post reporting that it sources they President Trump told acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to hold back nearly 400 million of military aid to ukraine, but also that that was at least a week, mike, before this call with the president of ukraine took place. Mike thanks very much. You bet. Mike breaking tonight, congresswoman Debbie Dingell with a cautionary voice along impeachment is now budging a bit by calling for an impeachment inquiry. In a tweet, the michigan democrat says after recent revelations i support an impeachment inquiry because we must follow the facts and hold the president accountable. Concerns over the business dealings of some of Vice President joe bidens family members are nothing new and the firestorm over the secret whistleblower is catapulted all of that back into the spotlight. Heres correspondent Doug Mckelway with a look at how the biden Family Business dealings are once again raising red flags. Two months after biden launched his latest run for the white house, the new yorker published what many saw as a preemptive inoculation providing against his sons troubles. In it, hunter biden acknowledges a longterm struggle with cocaine, alcohol, and buy prostitution to, but also details business donations, that includes a chinese businessman to a private equity firm hunter cofounded. The money donated days after the younger biden flew with his father to China Aboard Air Force two. When he comes back and eight days later the kid gets a billion dollars in his ridiculous private equity fund run by recovering drug addict. A second private equity firm founded by biden received 3. 4 million from a ukrainian gas company, burisma. Burisma also paid hunter up to 50,000 a month to sit on its board. Giuliani says when ukrainian prosecutors investigated him for corruption, then Vice President joe biden pressured the government to fire its head prosecutor. The biden camp maintains giuliani is wrong, that vp biden as well as other western leaders and the International Monetary fund want to the prosecutor fired because he wasnt aggressive enough at investigating the prorussian head of ukraines natural resources, who also secretly headed burisma through shell companies. It was only after the ukraine government changed hands in a popular antirussian uprising that hunter biden was appointed to the board. There wasnt any kind of scandal at all. The same kind of strict, strict rules. Separately, james biden is also being sued for conspiracy to defraud a business partner. James biden repeatedly would try to leverage his brother joe bidens connections. Biden and his family have denied any impropriety. I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. Last week hunter declined another term on paris burisma sport. He told them it wasnt worth it. It certainly wasnt worth the grief. Mike. Mike Doug Mckelway, thanks a lot. President trump says joe biden is corrupt, emphasizing that the former vp recently flagged stomach bragged about pressuring ukraine. Listen to biden in his own words back in 2018. I said im telling you, youre not getting a billion dollars. I said youre not getting a billion, im going to be leaving here, i think it was about six hours. I said we are leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, youre not getting the money. Well son of a belief, he got fired. Mike lets bring in National Security attorney bradley moss. His firms managing partner is separately part of the whistleblowers legal team. And harmeet dhillon, a board member for the Republican National lawyers association, great to have both of you. Good evening. Mike i realize this is not your case but what does your experience tell you about this kind of case . So in these types of situations, there is a very high threshold, evidentiary burden imposed upon the information outlined in this type of whistleblower complaint. Ive seen these same Anonymous Sources leasing to leaking classified information to suggest this is based on hearsay and gossip and that they dont really have any real details. You know hasnt leaked . The whistleblower who went through the proper procedures, submitted this to the President Trumpappointed Inspector General of the ic. It was validated as credible by that Inspector General and what has that person gotten in response . The president is attacking this persons patriotism on twitter, question whether or not hes truly an american. Mike fox news is reporting, as is the Washington Examiner, but the whistleblower who filed a complaint with the Intelligence Community spectra general did not have direct knowledge of the communications between President Trump and the foreign leader in question, so is this all based on secondhand information . It seems to be, but of course neither of us here knows exactly what is in that report and so i will reserve judgment on that, but what is very clear is that the Inspector General doesnt necessarily have the last say, the legal team for the dni looked at this, consulted with the department of justice and based on those evidentiary standards, it has to be an urgent matter and it has to sort of that certain criteria, determined that it didnt fit this criteria and i think thats right because we do cant havea system of government for any employee of any level who works for the president can decide that hes part of the swamp, to just go out and then circumvent that whole process and report things to a congress that is hellbent on dragging the president through the mud. If we do have some rules and im sure this is going to get fought out, im sure adam schiff will find out stomach file a lawsuit and we will litigate over the standards but was the real loser here . I think joe biden is one of the real losers here because the entire country and the world are being reminded of the absolute corruption exhibited by him and that bragging session about getting the prosecutor who was trying to investigate his son fired and we are all being reminded about his corrupt son and his absolutely ridiculous 50,000 a month contracts and socalled hedge funds and so forth and now we are also being reminded that the democrats colluded significantly with ukrainian officials. Paul manaforts smear that caused him to quit the campaign, was all instigated by ukrainian officials, so a lot of information is coming out here thats not flattering to the democrats. You really want to bring back up the Campaign Manager in jail . The deputy Campaign Manager about to go back to jail. All these people are on the president committing crimes and youre going to try to blame it on the democrats here . Are you kidding me with this . I know youre representing a client here. I am not representing this client. Mike take a listen to some of the 2020 democrats now talking impeachment. Its time for us to call out this illegal behavior and start impeachment proceedings right now. So of course its an impeachable offense. There is no way to defend the lack of progress on impeachment, especially after what we have just learned. When you are absolutely right impeachment proceedings. Hes got to go. If the president is essentially withholding military aid at the same time that he is trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit that is providing dirt on his opponent during a president ial campaign, then that may be the only remedy. Mike we are running short on time, but is there a risk they are jumping the gun . Lets start with you and then i will get a final word from brad. Obvious that they want to do impeachment, it doesnt really matter what the subject matter is, its going to backfire on them, so go for it. Mike brad . Lets see where the fax player, see what we learn and make a decision at that point. Mike bradley moss, hermie dillon, thanks so much for your time. Thank you. Mike also breaking tonight, a new memo showing then acting fbi director Andrew Mccabe apparently took former Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein seriously when rosenstein offered to wear a wire to record President Trump in the white house. According to the memo obtained by conservative Watchdog Group judicial watch, rosenstein told mccabe he wasnt searched when he entered the oval office so he could wear a wire. The cave told him he could check with his Investigative Team and get back to him. Rosenstein has maintained he was being sarcastic. Also new tonight, democratic officials are shocked a rising star within their party is facing six felony charges related to alleged voter fraud in connection with the november 2018 midterm elections. Michigan state police investigated the alterations of records of absentee ballots leading to the arrest of southfield city clerk hawkins. The secretary of state pointing out elections by the foundation of our democracy. All of us stand here before you today to indicate that there will be no tolerance for any actions that undermine that foundation. Anywhere, anytime, by any person or official. Mike prosecutors say the alleged fraud did not affect the outcome of the vote. Hawkins was given a prestigious award four months ago by the Michigan Democratic party. New tonight, prosecutors a u. S. Army soldier specialist gerrit William Smith shared bomb making instructions online and discuss killing antifa activists targeting democratic president ial hopeful beto orourke and bombing a Major News Network headquarters. Private first class smith is facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Mike the fallout of the attack on the Saudi Oil Facility is front and center as World Leaders gather at the United Nations this week. Irans president is there on a mission to support it win for his country or win support for his country, rouhani unveiling a plan to invite persian gulf nations into a coalition. At this time there is no planned meetings between President Trump and rouhani. With Irans Rouhani coming to town, the stage is set for a possible between World Leaders. Lets turn to state Department Spokesperson morgan ortagus. Great to see you. Thanks, great to be back. Before we get to that, the Washington Post is on the front of the story saying President Trump is hold on military aid days before calling that ukrainian. Officials say, it goes on to say, ordering acting white house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to hold back close to 400 million in military aid for ukraine. Is that accurate . We will let the white house speak for the president s interactions and conversations. I think its important to note with secretary pompeo set on sunday on the sunday shows, he reiterated the fact that it is the Trump Administration that has provided aid to ukraine. Meanwhile, during the Obama Administration they sent blankets and good wishes. Ukraine has been facing russian aggression for quite some time and its the Trump Administration that is working to thoroughly counter the russian threat that the ukrainian space. Mike irans foreign minister raising the possibility of a new Nuclear Agreement with President Trump, lets listen. We are prepared if President Trump is serious about permanent permanent permanent Peaceful Nuclear programming iran. And permanent monitoring of Iranian Nuclear facilities. Mike your reaction, morgan . Lets talk about the fact of where we are. Secretary pompeo has laid out for the past week before he went to saudi arabia and uae, iran committed an unprecedented attack against their neighbor saudi arabia and its important to note that secretary pompeo is right. We had many people in the news media we have many former Obama Administration officials, people who should have known better, that believed the claim of the people who were obviously lying, that they were responsible for the attack. Anybody who has access to google maps could have figured it out on their own, that it would have been physically impossible for them to have the capability to do so. So the secretary secretary pompeo pointed this out right away. Many people rush to leave the iranians as opposed to believing u. S. Secretary of state and former intelligence official. In the iranians have really been painting themselves into a corner here with this unprecedented attack on their neighbors. How theyve done that is we saw something very significant. What we call the e3, u. K. , germany and france, today put out a statement that said they believe that they believe iran is responsible for the attack in saudi arabia and whats even more important, something that we have been talking about for the past year in his administration, since secretary pompeo came to the office, weve been talking about why the jcpoa was not a good deal and its not just because it did actually provide a pathway for the iranians to get a nuclear weapon, but because the jcpoa did not address the malign activity by the iranians in the region and the jcpoa did not address their Ballistic Missile activity either. So the e3, u. K. , germany and france were very grateful, not only said that iran was responsible, they said in a new deal that we are going to have to confront irans behavior in the region. We are going to have to look at a longerterm Nuclear Negotiation and look at their Ballistic Missile production. This is something that we have wanted, our friends and allies have to be on board with us for quite some time. And i know secretary pompeo said earlier tonight but he encourages nations to do so. Mike here is President Trump today on potential talks with iran. I dont think we need a mediator. Hes a friend of mine, but we are not looking for any mediators. They know who to call. Mike you expect conversations on the sidelines up there at the u. N. . Thats certainly up to the president to decide. I would remind you that from minister abe of japan asked if he could go to iran and begin to negotiate between the two. And while they were there how did the iranians respond to the diplomacy of abe . They attacked a japanese lecture. Every time we seen in the administration when President Trump and secretary pompeo have extended their hand in diplomacy, it is met with kinetic action. The president has been offering for a long time, just saw secretary pompeo at the white house, secretary mnuchin in the press conference saying from the white house, saying that President Trump would be willing to meet. How did the iranians respond to that . They took 60 of the oil capacity in saudi arabia off the market. So we have called for peaceful resolution. We called for diplomacy, and every time we are met, and our allies are met, with kinetic action by iran. Their irresponsible behavior is coming home to roost this week. Mike state Department Spokesperson morgan ortagus, thanks so much for your time. Thanks, mike. Mike irans problems do not end at the United Nations either. The country is also getting called out by soccer apostates world governing body ahead of world cup qualifying match. Correspondent david spunt is here to fill us in. Good evening, david, david. Speak with a qualifier next month will be on october 10th, fifa leadership continues to stand firm in the face of iranian leadership. Terse words from fifas president of the iranian government encouraging a change to a policy thats been in place since the revolution of 1979. Things became so bad, women often would draft, dressed as men, wearing fake beards and hiding along here just to see a game played. At 29yearold woman set herself on fire just weeks ago to raise awareness of irans gender discrimination policy. She was busted for trying to enter a stadium without a head job. She later died. The organization released a statement pushing back against irans policy. Fifas position is firm and clear. Women have to be allowed into football stadiums in iran for all football matches. Last week, fifa officials to visited to want to put pressure to make the policy change. It worked. Weve been assured that as of the next International Game of iran, which is to be played on the tenth of october, women will be allowed to enter football stadiums. While women in iran will be able to only walk inside stadiums, u. S. Soccer star Megan Rapinoe was named fifas best woman player today at a ceremony in milan. And what remains to be seen is whether iran will continue with this, letting women inside stadiums or go back to that oppressive behavior before. Mike sounds like maybe something they would do one time to get past fifa or to be more acceptable. We will see. Mike david, thanks very much. Thank you.

Mike lgbtq media criticizing the only openly gay president ial candidate in the 2020 raise and tonight Pete Buttigieg is speaking out about it. Trace gallagher is here to break it down. Good evening, trace. Good evening, mike. Pete buttigieg went on a rant about lgbt media saying he gets frustrated because it seems they are trying to tell people how to be gay. Heres part of what buttigieg said during an interview on sirius xm radio about how he fits into the gay community, look. I just am what i am and is going to be a lot of that, thats why i cant even read the lgbt media, its too gay, not gay enough, wrong kind of gay. First came the heat from the lgbt media and then came the walk back from buttigieg blaming what he called a grumpy moment. It looked. Just to be clear, lgbtq media plays an increasingly important role, especially at a time like this, but i dont want to take away from the very good work thats being done in the media right now. Mayor pete says the criticism he faced is fair game because hes running for Public Office and that everything you say has an impact. Mike. Mike meantime, a transgender lawsuit in california can now move forward. Trace, what can you tell us about that . Its correct. A california man is now suing mercy san Juan Catholic hospital because the hospital canceled his scheduled direct to me after finding out he was transgender. Dignity health, which runs mercy san juan says, quoting here, catholic hospitals do not perform sterilization procedures such as hysterectomies for any patient regardless of their gender identity and less is a serious threat to the life or health of the patient, but the aclu, who represents the transgender patient says its a fact that all hysterectomies are medically necessary saying there are only transgender people from this treatment because the Catholic Church as a whole does not recognize the existence of transgender people. The case was initially dismissed by the San Francisco county superior court, but the first court of appeals overturned the lower court ruling, so now the lawsuit is once again back in San Franciscos superior court, though the next hearing has not yet been scheduled. Mike. Mike trace gallagher, thanks very much. Former Vice President joe biden facing new trouble tonight in the 2020 president ial race.

A new cnn poll shows that Elizabeth Warren is turning big crowds into big caucus support. Warren is in first, biden is in second. Bernie sanders is in third. I dont do poles, we are still months away from the Iowa Caucuses in the first primary election. Thats why Pete Buttigieg feels good about being fourthplace in iowa.

Mike President Trump is calling out World Leaders and demanding action to protect religious freedom. Pierce chief religious correspondent lauren green with morerom the United Nations event, including firsthand stories from victims of religious persecution around the world. Regrettably, the religious freedom enjoyed by american citizens is where in the world. President trump speaking about religious freedom at the United Nations, highlighting the scourge of religious persecution around the world. He says nearly 80 of people live in countries partial or highly restricted to religions. Three victims giving firsthand accounts. A christian in iran describing a government rate at christmas time. The authorities separated men from women, conducting strip searches, using all the bibles and confiscating all personal items. A jewish rabbi from yemen confronted with a life altering decision. In one province, jews were given three choices, convert to islam, leave or face. Muslim in china sing millions of workers and religious minorities are being held in government concentration camps. The Chinese Government targets religion to ensure that people of faith do not answer to any greater powers than the communist party. Many countries like china and iran mask religious persecution by calling it antiterrorism or state security. A highprofile example, the case of pastor andrew brunson, held in turkey for two years on terrorism charges. The Trump Administration used the full weight of the state department to secure his release in october 2018. The president announced at the meeting the newly formed International ReligiousFreedom Alliance inviting countries with shared values to join in the fight against religious persecution. In new york, lauren green, fox news. Mike President Trump also announcing the allocation of an additional 25 million to protect religious freedom. Joining me now, u. S. Ambassador at large for International Religious freedom, Sam Brownback. Stir ambassador, great to have you. Was a pleasure to join you. Mike Vice President pence took aim at beijing today, lets listen. The communist party in china has arrested christian pastors, banned the sale of bibles, demolished churches and imprisoned more than a million in the Muslim Population. Mike whats been done to confront chinas crackdown on both christians and muslims . We are raising this issue, where pushing it forward tomorrow here at the u. N. , the deputy secretary of state will be hosting an event just about what is taking place to the weaker Muslim Population, primarily Muslim Population there. And we are continuing to raise this issue and build alliances of other individual countries that are concerned about whats taking place to their religious adherence that are active in china. China is at war with faith, but it is a war they will not win. We are confronting them if you got a growing alliance of other countries that are joining us. Mike from everything ive read, christians are being slaughtered and churches are being destroyed all across the middle east. Whats your assessment . Well, youve had really decades now of christians fleeing, being forced out of the middle east. There was a british report recently out that said its near of whats taking place for the christian population in the middle east. What we are trying to do now is to try and stabilize the population and to also push a number of the muslimdominated countries to open up their religious freedom space, to be able to allow people of other practices to be able to live there, to worship their freely and to be protected. If theyve got to protect their population so they are not forced to flee. Mike in your view how big of a day was at today the United Nations . It was a big day. With the secretary general along with the president really pushing this topic of religious freedom. Its one thing for us as the United States to push this, but you have the secretary general and a broader body that was over 100 countries in this meeting that the president addressed, pushing for religious freedom. We will follow it with the event tomorrow, we will have a business and religious freedom event on wednesday. I think this is really us using tactically the u. N. On a major issue but the world needs to engage. Mike dan spinelli writes in mother jones, while they are quick to highlight american adversaries like nicaragua and venezuela, as trump did in his monday speech, they often fail to mention an ally which pew rates is one of the worst suppressors of religious freedom, saudi arabia. What about the saudis on this issue . The saudis are not good on this issue. They are a country of particular concern, which is our lowest category. If the only country in the World Without a church, a single one. And we raise this all the time with the saudis. The thing that we do with the saudis as we press them and would try to do so effectively. And i think youre starting to see some openings taking place. Im not going to oversell whats happening there, but the language is changing in some of, i think the actions i hope will follow. Mike youve had a long career in public service, sir. Tell me how big of a job this is and what it means to you. This job is critical to me, and i think its the most important job that ive held in my lifetime because it affects billions of people. If that 80 of the worlds population lives in a religiously restricted atmosphere. It youve got a number of people being killed. Right now, just for simply trying to peacefully practice their faith. This is the time for us to stand up. This is the United States lead and we need other countries to join this International ReligiousFreedom Alliance to push this forward so that these people can live quiet and peaceful lives. Mike ambassador Sam Brownback, thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Mike a vermont councilwoman suggesting disarming the citys police force, that tops tonights real name is lana.

Mike that is team climate activist Greta Thunberg shaming World Leaders for inaction on Climate Change. She is garnering a great deal of attention for that scathing speech but there has already been concerned in the media about using child activists in the New York Times piece says Climate Change is scaring kids, heres how to talk to them. A Washington Examiner opinion piece saying this is child abus abuse. Lets bring in doug schoen and marc theissen, great to have you. Our adults being unfair to children like greta . Because they are terrifying them. The reality is youve got people like alexandria because of cortez saying the world is going to end in 12 years and if youre an impressionable child, thats terrifying to hear from a responsible adult. Responsible adults ought to be saying to kids its going to be all right, the world is not going to end. Climate change is a real problem and we are going to address it, but the way were going to address it is through capitalism and through Free Enterprise, which is creating the technology that will allow us to reduce Carbon Emissions and america is the strongest Free Enterprise system in the world, our emissions are going down in the world is going to be okay. Mike dog, some are asking where are the parents . While im where is the United States . Why dont we reengage with the paris accords . One away press the chinese to do the same. I think mark is right. We dont want to scare kids, but there were millions of kids all over the world protesting, we cant just call that a massive case of child abuse. There is a serious problem with Carbon Emissions, global warming, and we should deal with it as a responsible, responsible grownups and let kids be kids and protest. If we have a history in this country of children, young adults acting as activists. I remember i got involved in the antivietnam war protest. Im as proud now of that as i was then. Mike Washington Examiner reports greta began suffering from depression as a child by her own admission in part because she learned about Climate Change at age eight. Is that what happens when children are told the world is going to end . Exactly. I agree with doug that we got to address Climate Change but one, we should not be telling told him that the world is going to end, that is whats terrifying them, theyre being manipulated and indoctrinated by these adult climate activists were telling them things that are simply not true and second of all the solution isnt to join the paris climate accord, it isnt government, the solution is more Free Enterprise. Its a fascinating fact, the brookings institution, a liberal think tank pointed out that last september for the first time in 10,000 years of human history, the majority of the world was either middleclass or rich. The first time and every time before that it had been the majority were poor or on the verge of poverty and the reason for that is capitalism, its Free Enterprise, the expansion of the Free Enterprise system produced by cheap energy, which produces cheap food, cheap transportation, and gives people a chance to lift out of poverty. These people want to impose socialism, which is not only going to not solve the climate problem, its going to decimate our ability to mitigate Climate Change and its also going to confine billions of people to poverty, so the solution they are pushing for the exact opposite of what we should be doing. Mike from the New York Times, psychologists say the way parents and teachers talk about Climate Change with children has an effect on their young psyches. What about that . I think thats undeniably true, but we need state action on a multilateral basis to deal with climate, all the while committing ourselves to freemarket capitalism. Its not a choice of capitalism versus socialism. Its acting responsibly as government officials, as adults, and as responsible people dealing with a climate that is warming, and air pollution, Water Pollution and threats to our ecosystem. I was just in d. C. Today when all the people shut down the entire city and theyre all chanting that capitalism is the problem, the democrats in congress are proposing thats not how i see it. I know thats not how you see it but thats what im saying, the climate radicals see it. I know youre not a climate radical but the democrats are pushing the green new deal, which is 100 trillion. Mike marc theissen, doug schoen, thanks a lot. A really heartwarming site in hempstead North Carolina in this video now gone viral.
