let's had, begin with bidens in ukraine from the top. >> hunter biden is son still alive he lost beau biden tragically and up until his father became vice president, he was basically a lobbyist in washington, d.c. working for the online gambling industry. so no background overseas, and inng any of these areas once his father started vice president he started a private firm called sin ka partners half of the capital provided by chris hines john kerry stepson and another business partner was brought in. who was john kerry's finance co-chair, in 2004 . the ukraine part of this really begins in 2014 mark. in february of 2014, you remember the prorussian president is driven from power. putin starts flexing his muscles russian military forces get involved that's in february of 2014. the obama administration responds by saying, about we are going to come and help ukraine and very significantly the point person on obama administration policy is vice president joe biden who goes to ukraine almost immediately. two months after he's driven from power and russian forces start to fin invade ukrain

there were so much more that defines joe biden. joe biden's intellect is incredible. joe biden's understanding of the world and our place in it and his understanding of what people live through in this state and in america every day. after he got that passed, he didn't just leave it be. he made sure that legislation was incremented. he made sure that women would be protected and that women would have their voice. joe has stood there through the years for all of us in legislation to make sure that women get heard, seen, believed. the next thing that joe did that was very, very life changing for so many in this room and for others is that he worked so hard on the affordable care act. he understood about how sickness affects families and about loss. he heard these stories from his own community, his own area, and he heard it across the country. and so i was there while he was working on the affordable care act and it was a hard pull as you all know and there are many, many times that some of us would just want to throw our hands up in the air and think are we ever going

not joe biden. joe stayed on it because he knew that americans needed to have this, so he was there. i was privileged because i was one of the people who worked on the affordable care act in the house to be there at the white house for the signing and to watch his face. and we had children that had been impacted and whose lives were changed for the better in the room with us while the president signed that bill and to watch joe biden's face was to know everything that you need to know about joe biden. that he was there from the beginning and understanding and caring and making sure that it happened and working with the house and the senate to make sure that this went through. something i want to tell you about joe, i spent almost nine years on the house armed services committee and during that time, i had the privilege of traveling around the world and talking to world leaders as congressional cartels, and hearing what was on their mind and worries and concerns and talking about the united states an

and hunter biden flew with joe biden on air force 2 to china. in december 2013, two weeks later they close a deal fors china equity fund. would biden have a problem in donald trump jr. traveled to beijing on airs force 1 then struck a deal. there are questions about trump children, but this is different, and against joe biden has been around since nixon era. >> if -- if donald trump did jrd it they would be screaming murder. he is running for president of united states, you talk about conflicts of interest. and you start talking about corruption and nepotism that is something that american public pays attention to, they will determine if he is fit for office. elizabeth: age 26, while joe biden was senator working on banking and credit card issue, hunter biden got a senior vice president job with credit card company. joe biden got thousands of dollars in donation. i think that legitimate to ask for press to ask these questions. you wonder if cnn moderators will ask. >> i hope they do. but one thing for sure, if joe biden is nominee, the questions

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 reluctance to kind of throw his son under the bus and distance himself, is that the son is obviously in a pretty fragile space in the last couple years. >> and given what hillary clinton said about the hillary clinton foundation, donald trump was not the incumbent. hunter biden says, yeahs, it wa swampy, meaning ukraine. i want to hear him talk about his name and how he got these jobs, and asking the question, isn't this why people hate washington? >> what do you say to people who say this is exactly why people hate washington? a vice president's son can make money where your father is doing official government business. >> i don't know what to say. i made a mistake in retrospect as it related to creating any perception that was wrong. and so, therefore, i'm taking it off the table and i'm making that commitment. i will

he's talking about corruption by joe biden. joe biden is not in office. if the president was interested in getting rid of corruption in the american government, it is an odd place to start with somebody who doesn't actually hold an office. rudolph giuliani has been traveling the world, cooperating with the state department. we've got reports of him dropping off dossiers at the state department, potentially. he goes on television talking about how he's being silenced which is a very odd place to talk about being silenced. i'm not sure what he's trying to do other than rally support to himself in a public relations sense. i know the yankees were on television tonight. it might be time to take in some television instead of going on. >> did he go to the yankee game tonight of i hasten to add along with allen dershwitz in his regular seats. of what we know will happen next week, anything you can share with us? obviously at this pace, you want to get a good laugh out of the guy upstairs telling your plans for tomorrow. it was just yesterday, after all, the pres

biden, vice president biden, they have a lot more questions e need to be answered and then sar biden, vice president biden, they have a lot more questions i need to be answered and then thing is that the democrats are pushing and continue to push tha constant narratives and are pushing and continue tomerican public about president trump,am and as matt said inerican public about rolling stone, it looks like we are in a permanent state of coup.as matt j.b. said in rolling stone, and >> sean: thank you, sara cartere are in a permanent state of now we turn to fake news cnn c cool. where a real whistle-blowerrste. working with project veritas han uncovered a predictable level of where a real antitrust propaganda. whistle-br hatred of fox news, and is a working with project veritas has uncovered a predictable level of antitrust propaganda. hatred of fo self-proclaimed network of facta first. network last night we showed you the ofs recording from a former cnn first. last night contractor showing fake cnn president jeff zucker telling fn contractor showing fak his japanese dictating to his d

but i never thought that biden -- i didn't think biden was going to win. i guess everybody has a shot. but i don't think he would be frankly my toughest opponent either. and just to finish off -- just to finish off, i don't think that he will win. i didn't think he was going to win and i don't think he is going to win. >> what do you think about facing elizabeth warren. >> that's fine. i mean it's fine. she is a socialist and maybe worse than that. but we'll see. i heard -- i haven't seen the poll numbers. i haven't seen biden's poll numbers. joe bidden was never going to make it, all right. he tried it twois. he is at 1%. there is a reason. when i nounsed i went to number one day one and stayed there the entire primary season. i never -- i never was off center stage. i was never given credit for that except by steve. the oem one giving me credit was steve. [ inaudible question ] >> who? >>. [ inaudible question ] >> they were trying no set up a meeting but he wanted sanctions lifted and i said you must be kidding. rouhani wanted a meeting at the u.n. our

biden and joe biden's son has tremendous problems with joe biden's son and ukraine. so he's got tremendous problems with biden's son and ukraine and all of the horrible things. you can get it, you can see it, it's been a big deal. >> julie: a big deal indeed. catherine herridge's live in washington. if this is all new to us, why don't you tell us more? >> career development diplomatn you give a statement on tuesday. they tell fox news kent testified that he was so concerned about hunter biden's position that he flagged those concerns in early 2015 to than that vice president joe biden's office but also testified that she went nowhere. kent is a senior state official and continued with investigators by being he believes hunter biden's board position sent the wrong message when the u.s. government at the same time was urging ukraine to avoid conflicts of interest. kent went even further saying ukrainian officials would probably conclude that working through hunter biden would curry favor with then vice president joe biden and his influential father. her separate report

james biden selling it out. here's another one. james biden made money in ukraine. he made $500,000 from another ukraine and how come they make money wherever biden is put in charge? >> i have a hard break. more with the former mayor in just a minute. what are you doing back there, junior? since we're obviously lost, i'm rescheduling my xfinity customer service appointment. ah, relax. i got this. which gps are you using anyway? a little something called instinct. been using it for years. yeah, that's what i'm afraid of. he knows exactly where we're going. my whole body is a compass. oh boy... the my account app makes today's xfinity customer service simple, easy, awesome. not my thing. >> we are back with rudy giuliani. you were talking about a $5000 loan, a second mortgage to james biden, joe's brother for a florida vacation home for a company controlled by a guy, this is within politico in august, a ukrainian american businessman in delaware and longtime joe biden donor. there is no indication the loan influenced his official action and finally in the peace the sp

when he of course urged that investigation into joe biden and hunter biden. they also show that one big thing is that how cog sant the ukrainians were they essentially wanted to they knew the importance of this investigation. to giuliani and president trump. reporting in the day coming from a small portion of the text message release that talked about how some u.s. diplomats were helpful in drafting part of a document to give to the ukrainians on talking about investigation. we now know according to to sources that document was started by the ukrainians. they were aware the u.s. and president trump wanted them to make a statement in some form about calling for an investigation about cracking down on corruption. some back and forth between the u.s. and ukraine. again the puzzle pieces just coming together. how extensive the conversations were. behind the scenes. >> listen, i'm getting some of it. i wonder what else ground interesting. i saw this. had breakfast with rudy this morning. most important to say he will help investigation and address any specific per

do you think hunter biden is compromised? or joe biden? if countries make all of these great deals, millions of dollars, for his son to do nothing with no experience, i got to imagine their thinking that they are probably going to get favorable treatment from their father. that's just a guess of mine. >> you are right anna mark is exactly right. nancy pelosi and adam schiff are trying to impeach the president of the united states 13 months before an election based on a nonwhistle-blower with no firsthand knowledge who -- he went in front of -- he went to adam schiff's committee first. think about this. the whistle-blower gets a call, gets info about the call, writes the memo, and then wades 18 days before he files a complaint and who is the first person they run off to see? adam schiff staff. and they don't mark the form either. they don't check the box on the form that says we talk to people on capitol hill. so yes, mark is exactly right but why do they now want not want the whistle-blower to come in? because we have questions. when did h

i think a lot of people prone to support joe biden underestimate joe biden. it's not just name recognition. it's not that he worked for barack obama. he is somebody whose candidacy and career is rooted in genuine loss and pain that i think is relevant to a lot of people, that reminds people why they like joe biden. i think when he gets attacked, when he gets maligned, when people sneer at him, i think they underestimate his strength and there's a reason he remains on top. >> stephen: there's a new poll from abc news/"washington post" tcby, has trump losing to the top five democrats. obviously, we're all scared from misleading polls from 2016. as somebody who, again, has been there intimately and seen the internal polling on campaigns, can we trust polls at all? >> yes, but don't. >> stephen: you heard him. five people-- >> that was confusing. i'll explain it! >> stephen: five people are going to beat trump! >> here's the thing-- i get why we're all looking at polls. our brains are profoundly broken. we are-- we are drowning in political coverage. we want this

james biden selling it out. here's another one. james biden made money in ukraine. he made $500,000 from another ukraine and how come they make money wherever biden is put in charge? >> i have a hard break. more with the former mayor in just a minute. >> it is very hard. 300 miles an hour, that's where i feel normal. having an annuity tells me my retirement is protected. learn more at retire your risk dot org. pain happens. saturdays happen. aleve it. aleve is proven better on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. all working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gig-speed network. because beyond technology... there is human ingenuity. every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected. to do the extraordinary. take your business beyond. >> we are back with rudy giuliani. you were talking about a $5000 loan, a second mortgage to james biden, joe's brother for a florida vacatio

about biden's politics. i never thought biden was going to win to be honest. i picked somebody else a long time ago. we will see what happens. i never thought biden was going to win. i don't care. frankly, if he won i think it the -- i would be very happy he would be an easy opponent. i don't care about politics. i do care about corruption. this whole thing is about [indiscernible] this whole thing is about corruption. pres. trump: this is about corruption, this is not about politics. this is about corruption. if you look and you read the constitution and many other things, i have an obligation to look at corruption. i have an actual obligation and a duty. reporter: are you going to cooperate with a house subpoena? pres. trump: i don't know that's up to the lawyers. the lawyers say they never seen anything so unfair they never seen anything so unjust. i have been president for almost three years and up and going through this for almost three years. it is almost become like a part of my day. in the meantime, we have the best economy we have ever had. have the b

, then vice president joe biden. they've denied any wrongdoing. >> what happened to china is just about as bad as what happened with ukraine. >> the president again pushed ukraine's president to investigate the former vice president and his son. >> i would say that president zelensky, if it were me, i would recommend that they start an investigation into the bidens. >> biden's campaign says the president is lying and desperately clutching to conspiracy theories. in congress, democrats are running their impeachment inquiry, investigating second of state mike pompeo, attorney general william barr, and the president's attorney rudy giuliani. on a conference call, house speaker nancy pelosi said, "i think that our chairman used really good word for barr and pompeo and giuliani, and they are henchmen." house minority leader kevin mccarthy rode this bigger this morning requesting she spent all impeachment efforts until house democrats establish transparent rules governing it. the president received support from his vice pr

biden? joe finally glad took the initiative to fight back, to push back because he has been too quiet. you cannot let the room be filled with all this crazy nonsense that continues to spew from the right. they have the luxury. these people, especially white men on the right who really have an agenda to keep america white, what is happening is they are taking up all the air in the room and they have the luxury of believing all this nonsense finally all it is settled, what is going to happen is they are going to go, i did not know. he for me. and then they will go on about their lives. in the meantime, billions of people around the world, including those poor kurdish people going through it right now because of the unilateralism of trump, they are going to be dead. host: do you think mr. biden's comments was a political move as far as his campaign is concerned? caller: i think it was an american move. we knew to designate a date, sunday needs to be showdown sundays where we take to the streets

type of job as hunter biden. nancy pelosi's son is another one, and also mitt romney, so they're all -- they're all part of it. that's what i have to say. >> max does it comfort you that joe biden saying today if he becomes president, family members will not serve on any boards of foreign companies? >> caller: no, it don't help me out none. i don't believe that. i don't care because what about the other countries he's involved in? okay. >> caller: i mean, and the truth, the last guy who called, it was $86,000 that he's making a year, and it ain't 50, and for what? he's an ex-dope dealer, a dope head. >> okay, max there in michigan. terry st. joe, indiana, independent. terry. >> caller: two things, first i was an air force jag for over ten years, and it was a clear ethics violation for vice president biden not to recuse himself from doing any negotiations with the ukraine as vice president. seco secondly, it seems the defense is that he threatened to withhold money for a good reason. he said i won't give you the m

i didn't go look for joe biden. the ukrainians brought me evidence of ukrainian collusion with hillary clinton, george soros. they put it in my lap. >> bill: this videotape from capitol hill in a moment. you'll see the special envoy to ukraine arriving there on capitol hill. this is what is partly remarkable about all this story here. he resigned on friday night. he is being interviewed six days later behind closed doors. we're watching that. the videotape, fox coverage begins now. andy biggs with reaction. we begin with catherine herridge on capitol hill. hello. >> we just had a heads-up that kurt volker is heading through security in the upper floors of the house building. i'm going to keep my eye out whether he is coming through the elevator or down the spiral staircase. behind me is the secure facility where volker is giving this transcribed interview. it is not strictly testimony but penalties attach if the witness lies or misleads house investigators in the course of the interview. he was a envoy to the ukrain

. >> biden, absolutely. and remember, joe biden's story had nothing to do with burisma, even though he blew the prosecutor was looking at burisma. mr. shokin said he was told he was fired because he refused to stand down on the burisma investigation. that was the only reason he was fired, he was told that by ukraine's president. that is a complete contradiction of everything joe biden has said. which of them are telling the truth? >> sean: when the mob says none of this is proven without any evidence, they are lying. aren't they? >> they are, it pains me to say that because i believe in the good of journalism -- >> sean: journalism is dead, i said that in '07. >> i'm going to keep committing journalism and i think we can go through some of the biggest lies and show people the proof moment by moment, step-by-step. >> sean: we are going to give you 8 to 10 biggest lies about the dnc, hillary clinton's campaign colluding with ukraine and successfully impacting the election. even "politico," even a blind squirre

and biden's son hunter. hello, everyone. i am dana perino and this is "the daily briefing." also new today, as democrats try to build their case on trump and his call with the ukrainian leader, the president calling on another nation to ies

in 2013, hunter biden joined his dad vice president biden on an official trip to asia. at the same time biden was forming a chinese -- unhunter w forming a fund. and he says that he met with a banker and called it a social visit. ten days after, china issues a business license clearing the way for a fund. talk to me about how we should think about this. >> is this a great example of something that would have been a news story had jblg become toe the nominee as part of the normal scrutiny that we give to every candidate. and it doesn't look very good. it looks about as smarr any as hunter biden getting a $50,000 a month job on the board of a gas company. but no evidence that i've seen that anyone has brought to the fore that joe biden took any steps in his official capacity to 5id his son. you could argue should he have instructed his adult son to not take these jobs that seem to jive with his authority in government is this absolutely. and people have written that and said that. and this stuff was covered at the time and people said it was problematic. but the things th

biden's son is corrupt, and biden is corrupt. and i'd rather run against biden than almost any of those candidates and i think they are all week. but i think biden has never been a smart guy and he's less smart now than he ever was. thank you very much. >> sean: and the president -- he supposed to execute the laws of the land. that it be election interference that people use to care about. the president also had pointed words for his lying, corrupt media mob and i call them a mob for a reason, because they are. take a look. >> biden and his son are stone cold cricket. you know it. his son walks out with millions of dollars. the kid knows nothing. you know it and so did we. >> the question is what did you want president zelensky to do with vice president biden and his son hunter? >> are you talking to me? >> it's a follow-up of what i just ask you -- >> we have the president of finland -- asking the question. >> i have one, but i want a follow up what i ask you -- >> did you hear me? ask him a question. i gave you a long answer. a

they should investigate the bidens. because how does a company that's newly formed and all these companies if you look -- by the way, likewise, china should start an investigation into the bidens. because what happened in china is just about as bad as what happened with ukraine. i would say that president zelensky, if it were me, i would recommend that they start an investigation into the bidens because nobody has any doubt that they weren't crooked. that was a crooked deal, 100%. he had no knowledge of energy. didn't know the first thing about it. all of a sudden he's getting $50,000 a month plus a lot of other things. nobody has any doubt. and they got rid of a prosecutor who was a very tough prosecutor, they got rid of him. now they're trying to make it the opposite way. so if i were the president, i would certainly recommend that of ukraine. [ talking at the same time ] [ inaudible ]. >> i haven't, but it's certainly something we can start thinking about because i'm sure that president xi does not like being under t

bidens. that was exactly like was happening in 2016 where he is like russia, are you listening? at her emails. >> dana: she has all these lieutenants. schiff has this issue. i wanted to ask, the appearance of impropriety in the fact that it's out there in the water, does it undercut joe biden's electability argument because he'd been riding high in the polls on the electability question. is that now something that the dnc should worry about? >> the dnc is not worried. the voters will ultimately decide who our nominee is but i think that what's clear is donald trump is running scared. he brought a $10 million false ad attacking joe biden, trying to change the subject. it's an ad that i think people need to fact-check. cnn took it down. we hope fox will do the same. it's one of those things that, the voters understand the facts in the sense that donald trump is going to foreign governments and asking for help in this election while the biden facts are not true. >> dana: okay, they are accusatio

case of joe biden and hunter biden, hunter biden traveling to places where that is right in joe biden's wheelhouse, his portfolio as vice president. guest: as a legal matter, the fact that you ivanka trump and jared kushner are in the initiation seems to be a violation of existing rules. host: even if they are not paid? even if they are not paid. the trump justice department invented a new interpretation of those rules to permit the ivanka trump and jared kushner to maintain those positions. what we have seen over time in the white house is why it is a good idea to prohibit family movers from having those kinds of roles k they have elevated positions and special access to the president that has nothing to do with their expertise and is entirely due to their familial relationship with him. the president has allocated an enormous responsibility to jared kushner, with which he has no capacity or experience pa he was given access to a national security material that national security expert said he should not have and when he did not have clearance. protectal processes to national security

joe biden -- i mean, hunter biden acknowledged that. i actually compare it to hillary clinton's server, right? i say that it was wrong. it was something that shouldn't be done. no, it's not illegal. no it's not really unethical, but optically it looks really, really bad, and we should make better decisions than that. democrats they're going to get on that stage tonight, and the biden campaign has framed it that no one can bring this up. how dare you bring this up. how dare you talk about hunter biden. nobody's talking about hunter biden other than to say he shouldn't have done this which he acknowledges himself. i think we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard. what about the trumps, we can talk about this being a poor decision, and we can talk about how unethical the trump card is as well. >> we have to have the same set of standards. i'm sick of it. and at first often i still say like, man, the white privilege is real because we know of barack obama, i've said that in speeches, can you imagine if barack obama would have done 1/1

warren and the bidens. we do not believe there was anything there asked about the investigation and this call gets put on the super code word server like ukraine, a thing that doesn't happen except it does seem to happen with president bush. why do you think they would put a call like that there? have you -- with you thinking about this legally and the national security background, why were the calls put there? >> from the whistle-blower complaint so far, it appears they were doing that because they knew people in the white house knew that this would be really bad if it got out and so they were trying to segregate it into a system and so a safe place, if you're in the government, a safe place to segrega segregate something and try to protect it better is a chase that protects classified information. that's why they did it. your question about china more generally and now that we know he is raising the issues with china is something even different than raising the issues with ukraine and it is a really impor

biden: no, i'm serious. i think corporations can do a lot of good things, but they .on't need that tax-cut we will raise billions of dollars to be able to put it on education, climate change, and the rest. i'm getting rid of the super wealthy tax loopholes, doubling their capital gains. right now, if you are a fireman and a schoolteacher, or you work as a police officer or nurse, you pay at a higher tax rate than someone making $10 million a year. higher tax rate. why is that? it makes no sense. why should the capital gain be at 21%, and even then, most don't pay that. person,ngle solitary our capital gains will be treated like real income and they will pay 40% on their capital gains. it is a basic bargain to rebuild a stronger inclusive middle class. [applause] notbiden: and it does affect any gains on your home and all those things that you in fact are able to take advantage of. look, we've got to stop this awful gun violence that's ripping us apart. >> yes. mr. biden: this is one of the biggest fears chil

bide bidens. >> what? of course there is veracity. we just showed you that veracity. and there's more. turns out it wasn't just senators markey and shaheen in on this swampy cash for gas deal. we cross referenced the senate co sponsors of markey's ukraine gas bill with the list of democrats, burisma lobbyist routinely gave money to. found another one, senator richard blumenthal. burisma's lobbyist give money to blumenthal three times, the next year blumenthal returned the favor by backing legislation that would directly benefit burisma and hunter biden. how is any of this different to the alleged offenses for which those two giuliani cronies were rightly arrested this week? this is the quid pro quo. this is the foreign meddling, foreign interests buying up members of congress, democrat senators who hand out policy favors and taxpayer dollars to the highest foreign bidder. this is a massive scandal. u.s. cash for ukraine gas. senator ed markey, senator jean shaheen, senator richard blumenthal, john kerry, d

and warren because they are the front runners and nobody with biden, the whole hunter biden thing seems to have coated him with teflon paired no one wante to go after him. the moderates went after him. and none of the democrats criticized him because he's got it in this debate. very serious ethical question. and he said, i don't think they laid a glove on her either. she had good interest rate i don't think the debate none of the front runners had a knockou punch or knockdown punch thrown against them. >> okay, stick around, both of you because we have more questions for you. next to going live to the spin room floor as the candidates no file an. (client's voice) remember that degree you got in taxation? (danny) of course you don't because you didn't! your job isn't understanding tax code... it's understanding why that... will get him a body like that... move! ...that. your job isn't doing hard work... here. ...it's making her do hard work... ...and getting paid for it. (vo) snap and sort your expenses to save over $4,600 at tax time. (danny) jody... ...it's time to get yours! (vo) quic

it brings up the hunters biden back in the bloodstream and if joe biden becomes the nominee, there is no doubt on the debate stage or anywhere else, he would be asked, why was your son paid $50,000 for something he didn't have any experience doing, and would he have gotten that job or they deal with china if he wasn't named biden? would he have gotten any of those opportunities if he was in the vice president's son? what's the answer to that? >> martha, look. i dispel the myth that our campaign has been collapsing. i think people thought our campaign was on the brink of collapse before the campaign started but they've been writing our campaign's of maturity since april 24th and i think we are doing pretty well. we are engaging with voters all upon this country. i will refer to them as smears and lines, that the trump administration has put forth and donald trump has put forth specifically about vice president biden and his family is they are not true, martha. >> martha: do you believe he would've made that monday if he wasn't the vice president's son? the vice president was overseeing

former colleagues of hunter biden. joined it they had done due diligence through a private investigations firm in new york to see what the status was. there was due diligence done beforehand. host: in may of 2014, i want to show our viewers white house press secretary, asked about hunter biden's job with this gas company. >> hunter biden has now taken a position with the largest holding company in ukraine. is there any concern about at least the appearance of a conflict there? >> i would refer you to the vice president's office. i saw the reports hunter biden and other members are obviously private citizens and where they work is not reflect an endorsement by the administration or by the vice president or president but i would refer you to the vice president's office. host: that was back in 2014 and that is their response to hunter biden serving on the board. the vice president then as we know as he's talked about travels to ukraine to put more pressure on the then president to fire shoken. at the time, what is happeni

>> biden had his son are stone cold crooked. you know it, his son walks out with millions of dollars, the kid knows nothing, you know it and so do we. shannon: another raucous press conference with the president, jeff mason was in the middle of it and joined us to talk about the presser and the rest of today's headlines, jeff mason and charlie kirk, welcome to you both. the president like to have fun with this stuff. he seems very fired up about the things coming at him from capitol hill, these questions it is trying to say why isn't the media looking at the bidens the way they are looking at me. >> yesterday he was frustrated with the impeachment inquiry, the press, he took that out on me during the press conference but also on -- earlier in the day in the oval office. he chooses to lash out at the media when he feels under pressure reveals frustration, it is common to the response we have seen from him. shannon: he said there are a lot of good people in the media, trying to give credit to people he thinks are good reporters sa

son, hunter biden. president trump's pursuit of political dirt about the bidens in the ukraine triggered the impeachment inquiry. and hunter has become a target personally of president trump. in the interview hunter biden defended his overseas work but also said his involvement in the border of a ukrainian gas company was, quote, poor judgment. biden did benefit from his father's name and position. >> it's impossible for me to be on any boards without saying i'm the son of the vice president of the united states. >> if your last name wasn't biden, would you have been asked to be on the board of burisma? >> i don't know. probably not. there's a lot of things that wouldn't have happened in my life if my last name wasn't biden. >> kate, nice to see, happy debate day. >> thanks for having me, chuck. >> let me start with, your campaign seemed pretty emphatic that hunter biden shouldn't have to go out there, you guys didn't need to be answering questions about hunter biden, he had nothing to answer for, that

remember, biden hads been mentioned by the president again and again, biden and his son, hunter biden. it depends how people look at this. just hearing the name biden may make them feel more defensive and protective of biden. on the other hand they may feel that biden is in kahoots since we've seen biden plateau, we wonder if he's going to go up or down more. this kind of news is likely to be more bad than good. >> on the looks like some crazy reality show that we're watching. but in reality, in real life, how does this happen with the impeachment inquiry and the potential impeachment of the president? is it gaining steam because of all we're seeing or is it just people are done watching this? >> jessica, "usa today" came out with a poll. we like because the poll they did yesterday compares with the poll they did in june. they saw a 13 point gain on yes, we should impeach the president. there are some polls even over 50%. the other thing about this that's so interesting is the fact that the president's popularity, if you will, hasn't moved really. he's still about 41 %. that's where h

i think that should be done for joe biden. release joe biden's transcripts with ukraine. use the same standards and let the american people read the transcripts and decide. >> margaret: for a look at what americans are thinking about the headlines dome nating our conversations on "face the nation owe we turn to our cbs news elections andreors. anthony has two polls for us today. first we look at the national poll on the impeachment inquiry. anthony, over the past two weeks have you seen a change? >> not over the last two weeks. we see hardening partisan positions here. repub hi cans increasingly say they support the president. don't think he should cooperate with congress. democrats strongly approving of the inquiry. important watching the polls differentiate against a inquiry, which there is marginal majority support. get the facts and learn what happened. whether they think the president deserves impeachment. that's much more mixed nationally. what i think is interesting going forward, margaret. you taupbg to the people who say they don't know which way to go on this, t

so do you think biden -- the biden campaign is clear-eyed on what it will take to beat trump? is this all new strategy that they're doing now? >> i think some people internally are. i think others are not. joe biden, based on my reporting, understands that things have not been going well, would like things to change. but it's not clear that there are the right people around him that can tell him what he needs to change and can be honest with him, and in that way he's a little bit like the president. i think what joe biden has wanted this entire time has been a direct fight with donald trump, and that's why it was perplexing when he delayed his response to the whistle-blower's story and to all this. but he was saying release your tax returns or shut up during his speech in new hampshire a few weeks ago, when he first called for impeachment. but he came well after elizabeth warren had called for impeachment. he seemed to be kind of late to his own party in some respect. i think that contributes to this narrative that he is not quite e agele, not quite sharp enough. if he keeps p

and hunter biden? >> i don't know if that's a real request or him just needling the press knowing you guys were going to get outraged it. i think he did it to gig you guys, i think he did it to provoke you to ask me and others and get outraged by it. like i said, he plays it like a violin. that's not a real request. >> okay. first, he plays the media like a violin, only makes sense if he means trump plays the media exactly like he plays the violin, ie, very loud, very badly, and sometimes screaming at it for literally no reason. [ laughter ] >> all right, the former vice president joe biden has been caught off guard by the increased level of attacks from president trump. biden said quote, it is way beyond anything i quite frankly thought he would do. long-time confidants said he is surprised that the president has escalated his attacks so dramatically and so early. we're told biden's reluctance to discuss his family in the campaign is a major reason why he has chosen not to respond forcefully until rec

they should investigate the bidens. by the way, likewise, china should start an investigation into the bidens. because what happened in china is just about as what happened with ukraine. >> reporter: now, the president is claiming he never thought biden would win the democratic nomination. >> i think it would be an easy opponent. but i never thought biden was going to win. i don't care about politics. but i do care about corruption. >> reporter: and mr. trump could not answer whether he was seeking corruption probes in foreign countries that don't include democratic candidates. >> -- any corruption investigation that don't involve your political opponents? >> you know, we would have to look. >> reporter: so far at least one republican is not buying as utah's senator mitt romney tweeted by all appearances the president's brazen and unprecedented appeal to china and to ukraine to investigate joe biden is wrong and pawling. and saying mr. trump is just patrolling the media. >> that's a request needling the press knowing yo

good news for joe biden, we're having these conversations about him, we say biden and biden anded b biden, a good way to help increase his name i.d. kennedy: everyone knows who he is. they know who he is. >> he was the vice president. kennedy: destroying any positive perception he had going to the race. >> no, no. kennedy: yeah, yeah. >> when president goes after you like he does -- >> did he say something about me. >> kennedy, i will defend you. if he goes after folks like this on these tirades, it comes back to be unfounded, that speaks too vice president's credibility. kennedy: there is so many holes in this story. okay, i'm joe biden i know everything about ukraine, i know they are super corrupt, and i want to make sure corrupt pros ouprosecutor gone. and under a massive investigation, i think my son should work there, right. right, okay, no, no. >> a complicated story. kennedy: that is my job. >> eu, and -- nato, and united states, state department who said, that ukraine -- corruption then. kennedy: you are talking too much, i want to hear from guy. >> i can't help it. kennedy: i mar

biden's -- at 10. biden's lead up six points since july. and in the key swing state of wisconsin which helped put mr. trump over the top in 2016, biden leads the president by 9 points. sanders and warren also beat mr. trump, but they are within the margin of error, and we're back now with the panel. karl, i think most people would agree whether what biden and his son did in ukraine and china was illegal, it stunk. it just smelled. it's classic swamp. but couldn't you argue, and the president has been hammering him on that, couldn't you argue that at this point with the campaign, and we'll get into some of the details, that president trump's continued targeting of joe biden may be the best thing biden has going for him right now? >> it would be if biden knew how to respond. the president started going after him the weekend of september 16th, and his first response was late afternoon on the west coast, and none of us saw it. and it was how dare you attack my family. ironically, his best defense would be to say, you know what? in retrospect, i

>> biden or jeb? >> sorry. were going to talk about biden. let's talk about biden. >> we can save some shots for jeb at the end but what you guys make a biden today? we're hearing almost a little bit of ato panic narrative. it was reporter yesterday from cnbc who tweeted out that the biden campaign, sources, had told him they were already bracing to lose both iowa and new hampshire. which i call bs on because for five months those areif two very different states but there's a creeping sense that they have to fix this, that they neededoi something to stop the bleeding. how worried would you be if you're running joe biden skimping? >> i think it's impressive at how well they have on. at the end of the day he hasn't dropped in the margin of error. if you look at where his polling is now, other candidates have gone up but he hasn't sunk much at all. he's done a very good job. he had everything stacked against him, being the front runner, more moderate than the rest of his party. at the end of the day, there was every reason to believe that he was

biden. and the president, of course, went beyond that. not only confirming what was in the whistleblower complaint, confirming what is at the core of democrats impeachment inquiry, but also now saying that he wants china to also investigate his political rival joe biden. and, again there are kind of goes to what we've seen the president do time and again. we saw it as well during the mueller inyearry where the president says these things outloud and tries to normalize by what he's doing and signaling to his supporters if he's saying it in this way it's acceptable we saw the president once again slamming the former vites president joe biden. his response to the president saying it's not going to destroy him and he's not going to go anywhere. kate. >> beyond his political analysis, let's stick on what's coming out of president's mouth at this moment. great see you. thanks so much, jeremy. here with me now is joe lockhart, former clinton white house press secretary. and former new jersey attorn

>> hunter biden, the son of former vice president joe biden has found himself at the center of a political firestorm. >> where is hunter? where's hunter. >> where is hunter? >> where is hunter? >> he's right here. >> i'm here and i'm workin' and i'm livin' my life. >> president trump says you're in hiding. >> hiding in plain sight, i guess. yeah. no, not at all. not at all. >> look, biden and his son are stone cold crooked. >> the president has been on the rampage. accusing 49 year old biden of improperly profiting on business interests in ukraine while his father was the obama administration's point person in that country. all leading to that now infamous phone call in july. >> it's a very honorable call. a nice call. >> when president trump asked ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskiy to investigate the bidens. no evidence of wrongdoing has been found against either one >> how did you react to learning that president trump called the ukrainian president in a phone call, asking him to investigate you and your father? >> i was like every other american, i was shocked. >> did you call your

bloomberg looks at field and says it is unefficient. >> dana: he thinks biden is in a free fall. >> biden is in trouble. >> dana: bloomberg doesn't have any organization in the other states, do you think this is realistic, could he get in? >> juan: oh, yeah, the money, he can self-fund forever. he's mike bloomberg. the negative side of this, i think a lot of people look at mike bloomberg and don't know who he is outside of new york. the name id you are talking about has a limited realm and he's going to need something more than that. the tell here, i go back to something the two of you were discussing, joe biden. people stance that joe biden is in a struggle and needs to do well tonight. bernie sanders needs to do well because of health issues. joe biden needs to step up his game in major way and the question is whether or not attacks on hunter biden from president trump have dented him and why is it he's not doing better in terms of fundraising. >> dana: ari, question about strategy of getting hunter biden on the record this morning before the debate? >> foolish, i don't know why hunter

predating joe biden. moving to. historian goodwin noted the house would be judged on how it conducts itself. and william mcgurn saying in an op-ed. to ask for documents, stop the white house in its activities and it i is he said we're in new territory. saying until now full house could trigger impeachment proceedings, but denying that vote pelosi is laying ground for a perpetual impeachment. >> she is -- nancy is obviously making it up as she goes along as you pointed out. the house has to formally vote to launch a prim impeachment in, otherwise it is not a impeachment inquiry. they are looking for any presence they can use to justify, that they have moderate who campaign as problem solvers who reach across aisle to work with administration, they don't want to put that matter to a vote right now those problem solve erika wachters will be -- solvers will be identified as enablers. elizabeth: thank you. >> milboro. my pleasure. >> up -- getting you an update of the markets. geri . >> it was a tough day on the markets.

biden? >> you know, i can tell you that, you know, like i said, it's clear that the president is concerned. and i think this is why this is the direction that he's gone in. but what i hear from people is that we have the take lessons from the 2016 election. we can't -- in the words of spike lee, we cannot be bamboozled this time. so we've got to keep our eyes on the prize. i think this is sort of more of the bait and switch that we see. you know, it's funny. i give a lot of speeches in my state, and a lot of times i'll just reach up on a bookshelf to try to find an inspiration, and have i this little book of quotes that i found, and i opened it up and these were franklin delano roosevelt quotes. it said "representation does not transform a lie into a truth." right now we have a lot of lying going on. and i don't care how many times you say it, it doesn't become the truth. so i think we need to keep our eyes on the prize and remember joe biden is the person who cuts across america. he's got s
