"the woman was bad news and the people she was dealing with in ukraine where bad news, so i just want to let you know that," he says to president zelensky. zelensky when he gets to the part of talking to the ambassador, i agree with you wanted to present. her attitude towards me was far from the best. she admired the previous president and she was on his side. to which the president said, welcome she's going to go through some things which you might agree today as she starts that process. let's bring in ed henry covering the story throughout the day. >> breaking tonight as well, the democrat adam schiff fired off a letter a short time ago declaring his committee the next few weeks is going to continue the impeachment probe with a sense of urgency. in his words they will accelerate the probe, a sign democrats appear to be moving forward to meeting the rumored target of trying to impeach president trump by thanksgiving. the president spoiling for the fight, blasting schiff and nancy pelosi as dishonest do-nothing democrats, his words at a large campaign rally in minnesota last night. the president in his own words warning his supporters around the country that his opponents want to "erase your vote like it never existed." the latest clash came while that rally was taking place, they were told the white house was going to block the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch from talking voluntarily. today democrat subpoenaed her to testify behind closed doors. she testified, the presidents personal attorney rudy giuliani was badmouthing her. yovanovitch fired back in testimony obtained by fox that she told staff to ignore the president's orders, that's not true. she said i'm proud of my work, the u.s. embassy represented and advanced policies of the u.s. government as articulate first by the obama administration and then the trump administration. democrats trying to tie the president's decision to push her out of the post to their claims that the president should be impeached over efforts to get the ukrainians to strongly scrutinize former vice president joe biden. the president said he just wanted to look into corruption and a short time ago at a trade meeting with chinese officials, he was blunt again about saying [ [ tires screech ]playing ] he's not telling the chinese to mom, you've got to get yourself a new car. investigate the biden family but he's not opposed to them the car's fine.

schiff, he fired back with democrats will "continue in us i know i can't afford to go. to limit our efforts witnesses you can't even afford to get yourself a new car. i still have this car so you can afford to go. to come in, move forward to impeachment." that may play into the president's hands that they will stop at nothing to try and get [ music resumes ] him. i'm so proud of you. >> martha: thank you very thank you, mom. much. principal. we can help you plan for that. my next guest is a republican on the house foreign affairs start today at principal.com. committee who was in today's closed-door hearings. pennsylvania congressman scott perry joins me now. good to see you this evening. what did you hear in there and what's your take away? >> my take away is this. unfortunately in the ever-changing rule situation here, i can't tell you what happened in that room. as a matter of fact just to let you and your viewers know, it's still ongoing. >> martha: we've seen elizabeth warren moving up in but i can tell you this, we have the polls per "the wall street journal" today a president who is interested in noting that all of her talk of remaking capitalism as we know rooting out corruption in the it does not sit so well with united states of america and the people who run and work in one that was elected in ukraine businesses across the country. they report her battle with by 70% was also interested in it. at about the same time that the so comprehensive an indictment of new president of ukraine was elected, the ambassador, the mrs. warren. that in turn has led to some current serving ambassador was released and there's a reason nervousness among executives. for that because rooting out corruption is important and if here now, fox news contributor. it's not getting done and you don't have the confidence of the country that you are serving in, liz, what do you make of that? then a change has to be made. >> they are completely right. what elizabeth warren intends to i think that's the important do is put democrats in power part of this. >> she claims the statement that was released that she never put guiding american corporations to invest in corporate, what they together a do not prosecute list should do with their stock once of people and that she does not know what is being spoken of they receive it. her. she says she's been falsely also wants to control, have the maligned and that she has never had anything but the best federal government control interest of the country at corporate political donations, that people should donate on heart. here is danny haack, one of your that, et cetera. it's an incredible change and colleagues on the hill, here's it's sort of mystifying because right now wages are going up, what he said when he came out. american businesses are doing i want your thoughts. >> i sat through eight hours well, and she is basically anti-profit. that went like a new york talks about herself as a capitalist. second. it was that amazing, that i have no idea what she means. that means that she really powerful, that impactful. i just feel very fortunate to doesn't like the bedrock of have been there. capitalism which is profit. >> martha: what's your reaction?

of america to see the you have to ask consumers is transcripts from today's proceedings and the transcripts there a monopoly power created from last week's proceedings but in big tech that has that's not being allowed except disadvantaged consumers? google is free. does anyone mind that google owns so much of the search in certain circumstances where portions are leaked out very market? no. people don't mind that. regulation, yes, coming for big strategically. but they are not being leaked tech but it's all about control, out by the minority party, they are being leaked out elsewhere. martha. she really wants the government >> that's obviously a problem in control of not only big tech inherent in the way this whole thing is playing out. but american corporate life and i think it's a disaster for the it feels very carefully economy if she gets elected. orchestrated that these hearings go on and on and on for hours that's why business executives are not going to be giving money and people come out and tell their side of the story. to her. we are going to hear more of >> martha: thank you very much. great to see you as always. that next week. but the president has said that yet another new bombshell in the there needs to be transparency in this and obviously he feels like that would benefit him, but harvey weinstein scandal and a potential cover-up at nbc news. one of the reporters at the i can't believe it wouldn't benefit both sides to a great forefront, breaking news tonight coming up. extent. how much of a push is there to how do you make red lobster's do this differently and will there come a time where these people will be testifying in public because this is the disposition phase of this process, no matter? >> we are pushing as hard as we endless shrimp even hotter? you bring back nashville hot! can but unfortunately we cannot oh yeah - it's back. affect the change but it has to come from the majority and the crispy shrimp... ...tossed in a spicy rub... american people have to say, ...and drizzled with sweet amber honey. listen, if it's that important more shrimp more ways. and it is, impeachment is no endless shrimp's just fifteen ninety nine. small matter, let's do this out hurry in. in the open and let's all decide for ourselves based on the testimony of individuals from both sides. let's let each side see the discovery, call their witnesses, ask the questions, do it out in the open where the american people can see so they can decide as opposed to just a few members of congress sitting in a secret room in washington, d.c. that's absurd. the one good to have you here tonight. also joining me this evening byron york, chief correspondent for the "washington examiner" ." kim strassel is right. there's a lot of names. it's either the acertification process.t or it isn't. next week we are going to hear it's either testing an array of advanced safety systems. from the ambassador to the e.u., also here from a russia or it isn't. it's either the peace of mind of a standard unlimited mileage warranty. specialist is said someone who or it isn't. could be somewhat unpleasant for the white house when she tells for those who never settle, her story. what are you hearing about what's to come and what do you it's either mercedes-benz certified pre-owned. think about the suggestion that or it isn't. some of this is smoke and the mercedes-benz certified pre-owned sales event. now through october 31st. mirrors? >> what we saw is important only at your authorized mercedes-benz dealer. because the committee is going to hear from those people but we are not going to hear from those people. these are being conducted in secret and just add a little information for this, what i understand is because the democrats issued a quickie subpoena to marie yovanovitch this morning, that made this technically a disposition. there are tighter rules for secrecy. you saw what you saw with her presented to perry where he comes out and says i'm sorry, i can't talk about it. meanwhile, marie yovanovitch writes a detailed statement (honk!) i hear you sister. denying all the allegations against her and accusing others that's why i'm partnering with cigna of wrongdoing. to remind you to go in for your annual check-up, and that gets out and stands as and be open with your doctor about anything you feel a version of the story today. - physically and emotionally. but now cigna has a plan are republicans asking challenging questions?

was money exchanged? there is real questions about them and what rudy giuliani might have known about it. >> martha: the suggestions they were funneling money and to try to get her removed. it goes into a lot of deep territory there. what about the suggestion which is lost in the shuffle in this story that the president of ukraine said that he didn't know the military aide had been held up when they had their conversation. in fact didn't hear about it for another month after. makes it a little difficult for the quid pro quo argument as she points out in her piece, if the >> martha: writer ronan farrow ronan farrow claims nbc tried to person who is being offered this kill the harvey weinstein story when he was breaking it. for that doesn't know what the now the peacock network under first part of the equation is, fire for its handling of matt that the military has been held lauer's multiple allegations against him. up. >> that's right. details in his new book that the that's what republicans have been saying the first moment network negotiated multiple hush it's been released, there was money settlements to protect not a quid pro quo. if there is not a quid pro quo, "the today show" cohost. what is there?

>> we were told they were had spoken from two years ago. >> martha: the interesting account is rich mccue who worked with ronan farrow when they were trying to produce these stories and harvey weinstein and the matt lauer story which followed. here's what rich mccue said in "vanity fair." "what i face from my bosses at nbc felt worse than being spied on by weinstein's paid thugs by the network protected itself and you have power over pain, matt lauer with precisely the so the whole world looks different. same legal tactics that weinstein had used for years to cover up his own sexual misconduct." the unbeatable strength of advil. >> that's a statement because we know that ronan farrow said he what pain? was followed by people that weinstein covered -- that he so, you bought those "good enough" paper towels? hired and almost moved out of his house, he was told by sources to buy a gun.

why would they be against that? >> what nbc is saying because i do have to present both sides, they were saying the story was not ready to be reported, that's why they did not want the weinstein story to go forward. what ronan farrow and his course the mogul of hollywood and did not want nbc toedly struck a deal of sorts with him not to report on him at all. noah oppenheimer who was the president of nbc also a screenwriter, ronan farrow this is what he claims alleging what nbc did not want to upset harvey weinstein. he goes further to say it's all full circle intertwined with matt lauer. he said this morning on "good morning america," he says he carefully weighs us out in the book but all signs point to it was a tangled web that was all woven together that harvey weinstein basically threatened that he would spill the beans about matt lauer if they spilled the beans about his sexual harassment. >> martha: ugly all around. when we come back, jonathan morris and guy benson >> there was a lot of friction on a new push by some democratic between the united states and china. presidential candidates to and now it's a love fest. now it's a good thing. revoke churches' tax-exempt status if they refused to it's good for china, it's good for us, it's good for the world. perform same-sex marriages. >> martha: pretty big day in the phase one of president trump's deal with china. looks like headway is being made. the markets clearly liked it against whooping cough. today. the dow up 300 points, a couple ♪ 1% apiece, all three were up for a week, china has been all over the stories we've been covering this week as the nba battle against whooping cough. ♪ continues to raise questions, head in now for applebee's new pasta & grill combos deep questions about a relationship between the two starting at $9.99. countries. more of that coming up in our panel but also this moment from they give us excellent customer otservice, every time.e. president trump on joe biden. our 18 year old was in an accident. watch. usaa took care of her car rental, >> china should start an investigation into the biden and getting her car towed. all i had to take care of was making sure flavorless because what happened to china is about as bad as what that my daughter was ok. if i met another veteran, and they were with another insurance company, happened with ukraine! i would tell them, you need to join usaa >> martha: here now, outside advisor to president trump all because they have better rates, and better service. we're the gomez family... in china, michael thank you for we're the rivera family... we're the kirby family, and we are usaa members for life. get your auto insurance quote today. coming to us. let's start with the trade deal. how significant is it, as optimistic as everybody wants to be about this in the markets, clearly felt very good about it, we've been down this road before, intellectual property, forced transfer of technology which is a huge part of this is in the next phase to come, righ right? what is your assessment? >> i thought it was a big success. it's going to have an effect around the world, that's breaking down the problem into phases. from what i understand president trump's own idea to your business can do a lot in 10 minutes. have phase one, phase two put as like make a big sale. much as we can get the chinese surprise and delight a customer. to agree to now. or come up with the winning idea. and 10 minutes is all you need to finally give your business there is still another month to work it out but to leave the the internet technology it really needs. tougher issues for phase two, we'll prove it. this is an enormous breakthroug give us 10 minutes. if we can't offer you faster speed or better savings breakthrough. very proud of what the president than your current internet service, and what he's done. we'll give you 300 dollars for your time. >> that's very encouraging. call now to get your comcast business 10 minute advantage it's interesting that it's so public this time and you say it and take your business beyond. was broken down into phases because the last time it was all comcast business. behind closed doors and didn't beyond fast. think the deal was going to happen and parts of the deal the president thought would be done so this is force their hand a bit forcing it to be so public? >> calling my advice from your leo to say something and he's involving the chinese back home in this deal. part of what the chinese had to do this time was a good thing. brought a lot more people than usual. they brought the equivalent of the chairman of the federal reserve, they got governor edp steve mnuchin referred to, that's why this is so successful. over all you can imagine the opposite that we just keep on haggling back and forth and have no progress. markets start to slide around the world, more and more talk of the u.s. containment. so the way the president is doing this, he's pocketing the contentions and they have been significant. he's sweetening the pot himself several ways but he's waiting until xi jinping in santiago, chile, if things don't get solved they will be solved face-to-face with president xi and that's the way to do and in a dictatorship like china. >> martha: with regard to what the president said in a sound bite before we came to yo you, use say a couple of things >> martha: some prominent democrats assayed churches and things -- where you stand on it, a little bit confusing. other religious institutions the first one was with lou dobbs should lose their tax-exempt on wednesday night. status if they don't support try to bring up a topic -- this gay marriage. listen to two 2020 candidates at is a sound bite. an lgbt town hall last night. let's play it. >> bringing up just tell me what watch. >> do you think religious happened with hunter biden. i've never seen him get so institutions like colleges, secretive my entire life. churches, charity, should they lose tax exempt status if they they would discuss icbm warheads oppose same-sex marriage? >> yes. sooner than what hunter biden was doing in china. there can be no reward to, no that's a big area where the benefit, and the for anyone in chinese know they don't want any american probe into what happened with hunter biden. any institution, any organization in america that denies the full civil rights of >> martha: after that in exchange with a financial times every single one of us. reporter, says i got a bit of >> the need to follow the law. background with hunter biden from the chinese. people can have their own which is it? beliefs but we are not going to discriminate against people just because of who they are. did you get a lot of information or were they tight-lipped? >> martha: those cummins >> i only saw scholars, i didn't prompting backlash including see the government. they don't want to talk about florida senator rick scott, beto it, that's what i was telling o'rourke confirmed what we've known a long time, democrats don't care about religious lou dobbs. liberty. this is about a complete disregard for the freedoms in literature our constitution. what's going on with the "financial times" is a little here now, former catholic street more sinister. i have known this reporter 20 years, he's a great guy. good to have both of you here, gentlemen. thank you very much. posting that email to ensure that i had said i got let me start with you for a lot of reasons i'm interested to get your take on this. what do you think? >> i'm in favor of gay marriage legally as they could possibly exist. i got married a few weeks ago to my husband. so i am on the record in favor of same-sex message. i'm not on board at all on this from beto o'rourke. i think constitutionally it is clearly a massive violation. i think this would go 9-0 at the supreme court. it's a punitive action by the government to enforce something frankly that would impinge on the free exercise of religion. we are talking about churches, mosques, it's really quite extreme. politically in terms of public opinion, the way gay marriage went from quite unpopular to now a significant majority opinion was by arguing fairness and equality. if our loved as an you, let's just be treated equally. a lot of americans said, yeah, that sounds right to us. now it's time for punishment from the government if you don't get in line with this new secular orthodoxy. i think that would rub a lot of people the wrong way including many supporters of gay marriage. >> martha: very interesting. jonathan, what do you think? >> we often hear about the separation of church and state. whenever somebody publicly affirms their fate in the public square. there is a group with ulcers of outcry, that supposed be left inside the halls of the church, inside your own home, but don't bring it out because we are mixing up this is the example of the government wanting to get inside our churches on what we can or cannot preach. what are they going to tax? what they are going to tax are the buildings and they are going to take the buildings away. they will attack st. patrick's cathedral. they catholic church would have to pay millions and millions of dollars to have a church. what we are seeing is a total -- i found that extremely revealing that they were showing their cards. what they want to do is have this terrible infusion of government into religion and there is no separation there of church and state. >> martha: it's an interesting point. it certainly would be lucrative for the government if he lost that tax-exempt status. here is one legal he says is blatantly unconstitutional, church 'ministries should be allowed to hold centuries old belief without of government retribution. i guess it raises some questions for some people about religious tax exemption at institutions and why that exist in the first place. what are your thoughts on that? >> and other political point i heard about we just heard in the previous answer, got a big round of applause, and a of white progressives i think are on board with this because they have in mind as the bogeyman here, white evangelical christians who support donald trump my but i wonder if beto o'rourke on the campaign trail went down to some southern black churches and gave them the same question. hey, i hope you are okay with gay marriage because if you are not there is something coming your way from the government. there are a key element of the country that are not right wing republicans who i think deeply would have a problem with this and i agree with the constitutional point to your last question, martha. >> martha: final thoughts? >> imagine if this wasn't gay marriage, this is any church not in favor of abortion, they should have their tax exempt status taken away. we could go and give all sorts of examples. but this is their move. it's a very dangerous one i think politically but constitutionally. >> martha: thank you very much. good to see you both tonight. coming up, it is ladies' night on chelsea clinton's possible future in politics and one nba coach's very controversial response to a question about china's human rights record. >> none of us are perfect. people in china didn't ask me about people owing ar-15s and mowing each other down in a mal mall. the most inspiring minds, the most compelling stories: audible. steven could only imaginem 24hr to trenjoying a spicy taco.burn, now, his world explodes with flavor. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day all-night protection. can you imagine 24-hours without heartburn? i need all the breaks i can get. line? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. that's a lot of words. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> ♪ >> martha: big topic this week. how does an nba coach defend doing business in china considering the communist party's questionable record on human rights. here is how steve kerr, coach of the golden state warriors, defends people speaking their mind in the united states. watch this. >> nor has our record of human rights abuses come up either. things that our country needs to look at and resolve. that has not come up either. none of us are perfect. the people in china didn't aska mall. >> martha: hot topic. what is your reaction? >> i think it goes to show you at a time where we see a lot of businesses take action on different social issues and take political positions, it demonstrates it's about the bottom line. they only do it if it's in the interest of the bottom line. clearly it was not with the tweet about china and the reaction we have seen from the nba, steve kerr and some players. it shows how beholden so many american companies are to china. marriott fired an employee for liking a post and with hollywood pulling scenes from movies to accommodate china so they can have their movies play there. >> martha: what about the human rights in the united states and in this china? >> i covered the nba for sacramento when i was a radio reporter. i went to japan with the sacramento kings. i watched internationally how important these voices are. he has a popular and big voice. he spokesout often. people listen to what he says. when you listen to him talking about this, it's a contradiction for fans of his. you are speaking about this, but the nba is not doing anything about participating in china. fans are on the sidelines wondering who to root for. >> i look at this situation and i find it a hypocritical for people condemning steve kerr's comments. our leaders in the white house have rubbed shoulders with kim jong-un who does horrific things in north korea and there is not this outcry. pointing out the criticisms is what makes our country so great. that's why all of four of us are able to sit here now. someone said it's not fair to discriminate against women or against african-americans. i think these criticisms of our own country make us better. >> and the hong kong protestors waving american flags are calling out to all of us. there is a responsibility with that. >> martha: this moment from the town hall with elizabeth warren and a questioner name morgan cox. >> a reporter says senator, i am old fashioned and my faith teaches me that marriage is between one man and one woman. what is your response?

>> possibly. >> access to a lot of donors. i would rather be that than a reporter. >> martha: that's the "story" on friday october 11th, 2019. the story goes on and on. see you on monday night at 7. have a great weekend, everybody. >>♪ >> tucker: this is the fox news alert. the president will address supporters in lake charles, louisiana. the president announced the departure of his acting dhs secretary of state. a remarkable rally last night and we expect another one tonight. in the meantime, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." a story we have been following for the last few days. by day, steve kerr is the coach of the golden state warriors basketball team in the state of california. in his spare time, kerr moon
