past day or two that officials were concerned about that. we re still missing what i think is the key piece of the puzzle. that is people who will come up and testify about whether that was directly linked to releasing money to ukraine. there is just people confirming the president did something completely inappropriate political and in foreign policy, he did. where is the money? that is what i want to know. this is money lies in videotape and we want the money. we ve heard the lies and seen people on tape already. where is the money? everyone stick around. we ll keep talking about this as we learn rudy giuliani will ignore a congressional subpoena. new information about how republican lawmakers are starting to voice concerns about the president s personal attorney. is he being set up as the fall guy? plus live here inside of the debate hall in westerville, ohio for the debate hours away and the candidates just finished final walk-throughs. don t go anywhere. we ll be right back.
abby phillip joins us live from the debate hall in westerville, ohio. preview it for us, abby. reporter: it is a big night coming up tonight for these 12 democratic presidential candidates. it will be a pretty full debate stage, and it will be tough competition for many of them who as you mentioned, are just trying to breakthrough in this race. but we re looking tonight at bernie sanders, the vermont senator who suffered a heart attack just under two weeks ago, and this will be his big debut back on the campaign trail, but also center stage. joe biden and elizabeth warren who have been duking it out for that top spot in many of the polls statewide and at the national level for several weeks now now. elizabeth warren in the latest quinnipiac poll at 30% just edging out joe biden. will this be her moment to slid f solidify that status.
there is just always some new rock that gets turned over, always some new question, always some new shadow of, but wait a minute, why is this? i just want to know for our viewers you see mayor pete buttigieg doing his walk-through in the debate hall. all of the candidates get a chance to go through and test the microphone and the like. his framing of this is interesting. don t expect us to be the kennedys, but we re not the trumps, either. we re not the kennedys but we re definitely not the trumps. for anyone who has followed the biden family, they have had one tragedy after another. the death of hunter biden was devastating not just to joe biden but also to hunter biden, and i think probably the death of bo biden has been devastating to both the vice president but also to hunter biden, and i think you see that as one of the factors in joe biden s
and a son and a wife. and family is the most important thing in his life and so he takes picks on a member of joe s family. joe has to resist answering in kind. i wouldn t advise to joe to attack donald trump jr. focus on the president. joe s greatest calling card is i m the guy that could beat trump so when you hear hunter, there are seven things you do, attack, attack, attack but attack trump and not his kids. stick around, we have more to talk about. with 12 democrats on the debate stage behind me tonight, who is most likely to throw a punch. we ll go live inside of the debate hall in westerville, ohio. stay with us. the new $3 little john from jimmy john s is just like our original sandwiches.only littler.so we bought a little ad.on lil jon. little johns, yeah! $3, what?! rather than worry about how to pay for long-term care.
of the debate hall here in westerville, ohio outside of columbus where in just hours 12 democratic candidates will face-off. but rt world lead. president trump announced in 24 hours weapon pence will head to turkey to attempt to broker a ceasefire between turkey and syrian kurdish forces. it is seemingly an attempt by pence to clean up what critics are calling president trump s mess which now has a body count. after the president essentially gave the go ahead for turkey to attack the kurds in northern syria when he pulled troops from the region. don t take my word for it. the former ambassador to combat isis brett mcgurk tweeted trump officials are working over time to say that he didn t give this gift to russia and iran and i don t envy them but it is false. boris sanchez breaks down the white house cramble over syria.
