you. studio audience and i love you, america. ♪ jon: house intel committee adam schiff nation growing calls from republicans to be deposeed in the impeachment inquiry as he makes it clear some of the witnesses house republicans want to testify are out of the question. good evening, i'm jon scott, this is "the fox report." ♪ ♪ jon: with public hearings it to begin wednesday, schiff is rejecting house republicans' requests to have the whistleblower testify. the intel committee will not facilitate what schiff calls sham investigations, that's his quote. a committee member shedding some light on the process. >> well, i can't speak for the chairman, but i can tell you we will end up calling some of the witnesses on that list, and

here's my test. my test is do these witnesses have important information, knowledge or evidence about the president's conduct. and if it passes that test, then we should call them, sure. jon: we have fox news team coverage. ellison barber is standing by with the latest from the white house. first, though, garrett tenney in our d.c. bureau. >> reporter: jon, republicans have identified at least 14 individuals they want to testify during the impeachment inquiry's public hearingsing, but only a handful are expected to be approved by democrat chairman adam schiff. last night schiff informed the intelligence committee's top republican, devin nuñes, that the impeachment inquiry, quote, will not serve to carry out the same sham investigations into the bidens or conspiracies about 2016 election interference that president trump pressed ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit. those who likely won't be called to testify include hunter biden and his business partner, nellly orr who worked on the

now-infamous trump dossier, and a former democratic national committee staffer who allegedly met with ukrainian officials for dirt on the trump campaign. democrats argue that since the impeachment inquiry's about what president trump did or did not do in relation to withholding military aid from ukraine, any witnesses without knowledge of that are a distraction. >> republicans have requested, i would think that the chairman is going to make available to testify. tim morrison is one, kurt volker is another. we want to stay focused on the ukraine call and having hunter biden come in is unrelated to the ukraine call x. so that becomes irrelevant. the whistleblower, again, has protection. >> reporter: schiff has already indicated that the whistleblower will not testify, and that is a key point of contention for the president and his allies, including senator lindsey graham who said without the whistleblower's testimony, impeachment dead on arrival in

the senate. >> the only way you can fairly deal with this issue is for us to find out who the whistleblower is. no american can be accused of a crime based on anonymous allegation. the whistle blower is foundational to what they're doing in the house, and if -- the fact that they don't want to call him tells you everything you need to know about how valid this effort is to impeach the president. >> reporter: it's important to note that not everyone republican lawmaker feels that way. in fact, today repeated their belief that the whistleblower's identity should be protected and that their testimony wasn't really that important because they did not have firsthand knowledge or information about the president's phone call with ukraine's leader,, you know,. jon: all right. garrett tenney in washington, thank you. the president is echoing his party's impeachment witness list inquiry witness list tweeting support for public testimony from the ukraine call whistleblower. meanwhile, some republicans now say the president did engage in

a quid quid pro quo with ukrainn president zelensky but that it doesn't warrant his being impeached. >> i believe it was inappropriate, i do not believe it was impeachable. and process -- i, you know, y'all always want to say substance not process. the integrity of the process is under our legal system, it's more important than the outcome of one particular case. so i don't think you can sweep process under the rug. jon: ellison barber joins us from the white house now live with more. >> reporter: hey, jon. president trump is not thrilled with that line of thinking. he once again said the call to ukrainian president was perfect and warned republicans not to be led into the fool's trap of saying the call was not perfect but is not impeachable. no, nothing was done wrong. president trump says he will release the transcript from an april phone call with the ukrainian president possibly on tuesday.

penalty. she also claims two of the president's former top aides tried to undermine him because they wanted to, quote,: save the country. then-white house chief of staff john kelly and rex tillerson tried to get nikki haley to join them. >> it absolutely happened x. instead of saying that to me, they should have been saying that to the president. not asking me to join them on their sidebar plan. >> reporter: in a statement to cbs, john kelly seemed to deny he did anything to try to undermine the president. jon? jon: ellison barber at the white house, thank you. ♪ jon: 2020 democrats spend the weekend rallying voters in early primary states. pete buttigieg in new hampshire and senators kamala harris and bernie sanders visit iowa. their weekend of campaigning comes amid a possible shake-up.

voters away from biden, and it's somewhat seen as an indictment of biden's campaign. the former new york mayor previously said he'd only consider a white house run if he didn't think the existing candidates could beat president trump. analysts say fears that joe biden may be faltering and the second favorite, elizabeth warren, may be too liberal to beat trump. and while biden didn't seem fazed, other white house hopefuls didn't take the news sitting down. >> michael bloomberg and other billionaires, sorry, ya ain't gonna buy this election! >> i'm here doing town halls in south carolina because i want to be here. i think that our election should not be something bought by billionaires. >> reporter: bloomberg has reportedly decided to skip campaigning in the four early primary states, instead focusing on states like california and texas where his fortune can

project. how much money have you raised? >> 150,000. jon: you have a ways to go. >> we do. but we have a good start. what i've learned this these nine years, they had no idea the industry is desperate for watchmakers. well, there's multiple jobs out this for these guys. and they don't care what their discipline is. jon: it's an amazing program, and sam cannon has a big heart. if you'd like to contribute to the cause, you can visit the program's web site, veterans watchmaker initiative.org. and a quick programming note, "modern warriors" airs tonight at 10 p.m. eastern. host pete hegseth speaks with former special forces operators about their experiences carrying out high stakes missions. here's a preview. >> how do you plan for people that are rigged to blow themselves? >> you plan to get injured probably.
