believe the white house position is it s a one-shot deal and we won t do it again. i wonder if there is a new precedent here set and you wonder, too, what democrats what the next ask will be from those one of six committees. it is possible. for example, this is the second telephone call that president trump had with zelenskiy. this is after the parliament won the majority of seats. he also had a call previous to this. did that conversation begin back then? i m told the way that the president released this call is it really limits the presidential nature of this because there was some as the it approval by ukraine. secretary pompeo got permission from ukraine to release it and told there was another conversation as well that i m not at liberty to discuss. it would limit the ability to democrats to say you released this and let s release another.
leaders but for the iranian people. there are a lot of things that they need, the populous, he was talking about medicine for children, that they aren t able to get because of u.s. sanctions. he even began the interview. i was talking to him about the president, president trump and what he said at the u.n. about no other country should support iran s blood lust? he said blood lust? every place the u.s. has gone they are the main sponsor of terror in the world. i saw no indication at all. i was looking and pressing for it, of any opening diplomatic opening at all. at this point i think rouhani and the iranian regime is very hard line and they aren t looking to make any kind of a deal and stuck firm to the idea no talks with the u.s. unless president trump lifts all sanctions and there is not a chance he will do that. bill: chris wallace, thank you, sir. talk again. sandra: washington awaiting the release of the transcript

expectation when the president of ukraine and the president of the united states meet face the face i believe for the first time this afternoon in new york city? i think that s going to be probably the hottest ticket in town by far and we live in a town you live in a town where broadway is just around the corner here. everyone wants to see this conversation. it should be noted the president tweeted yesterday and he is right. i was in the room. secretary of state pompeo did talk to president zelenskiy of the ukraine and ukrainian president said he can release it. it s fine with me. he knows there is nothing wrong in his call. he issued a statement saying i got no pressure. sandra: how would you describe their relationship? good relationship. the president has good relationships with partners and allies across the globe and some folks that aren t the best actors across this planet. he wants to get deals done for the american people and that s what he is always focused on and has
there? it is bill barr s call but i m glad you mentioned bill barr. i think, you know, we had a certain context that we expected this to fit into, which is that the whole idea of a quid pro quo, trump supposedly was pressing on ukraine to help his political campaign. now that you read this transcript and you also see think about the timing of this right after mueller s testimony, but the mentions of attorney general barr in the transcript and the president wanting zelenskiy to speak to barr. he is asking ukraine to assist the ongoing investigation by barr into the origins of the trump/russia investigation which barr as early as march or
