related to hunter biden and burisma holdings. so, another flat out lie which even contradicts his own son by the way who said in an interview in the new yorker, yeah, we did talk about it. by the way, biden said he and hunter did nothing wrong, nothing. we'll correct this in a second. but, take a look. >> no one has established that he did anything wrong or that i have done anything wrong. period. i carried out the policy of the united states of america, our allies, and the international monetary fund, the eu, and dealing with the corrupt prosecutor, period. number one. i did not know he was on the board of that company and, in fact, no one serving on the board illegal to be on the board or did anything wrong. >> if had you known, would have you said don't or would you have believed or said it was wrong. >> no, it's not wrong. his words speak for themselves he wished he had realized how krohns of the crope president would try to paint it? >> nothing wrong, ukraine, gas, oil, energy, millions of dollars. no, nothing wrong. no expe

and hunter biden's gas company. even the state department officials knew what was going on. it was an open secret. judge jeanine: everyone says it has been looked into and it hasn't been looked into. how much was hunter biden making? >> the fbi seized records back in 2016 and 2017. those record show the firm, hunter biden, devon archer. they were getting $166,000 a month. that's a heck after payday. judge jeanine: $166,000 a month for doing nothing? are they in the ukraine? who is devon archer? >> devon archer was the business associate of both hunter biden and i will throw another name at you, chris heinz, john kerr yims stepson. they went into business together. he had a trial where he was convicted of felonies back in 2016, 2017. the judge reverseed the jury conviction. he may be the nephew of whitey bulger. okay. judge jeanine: how much cash did they make for doing nothing? >> i can see two years from the fbi records. $3.4 million or two years. judge jeanine: joe biden was the point man on energy. we have got ca

those two board members, his son hunter and joe biden claimed he did not know hunter was on the board, give me a break. exhibit c, may 2014 the reporter asked to save the reporter spokesperson of the ukrainian gas copy. and they reply, no, he is a private citizen but in 2015 they did raise concerns about hunter biden's admission and they want us to believe even though the state department and d, hunter biden own account in a recent interview he did discuss the whistleblower with his dad who told him i hope you know what you are doing. if there was no corruption, why did joe biden lie about this. this week new details emerge about the corruption and freedom of information with fox contributor showed there is no lobbying firm using hunter biden to get a meeting with the state department official. then according to the wall street journal hunter biden in the meeting. one day after that he met within secretary of state john kerry about seven months before those meetings hunter biden himself met the deputy secretary of state, there is not a board member meeting with the two top officials i

hunter biden and his business partner. is it safe to say they will never come before the house intelligence committee? >> we are not going to go back in time and revisit conspiracy theories implicated in the president's call. it was the former secretary of homeland security who told jake tapper that he was telling the president that watch of -- much of what the president alleged in that phone call about the ukrainians involvement in 2016 was just nonsense. 2016.'t want to revisit if people have relevant information we want to hear from them. no to the bidens. >> i don't see evidence that anything improper has happened and people have said these witnesses conducted themselves with integrity. >> tim morrison was on the republican list. kurt volker. is it safe to say they will be before your committee? >> we are going to handle that this week and we are going to be fair about it. processness behind the is just as important as the facts. >> i think that speaker pelosi and adam schiff's decision to prevent the witnesses is just

biden, you would call hunter biden, there's plenty of evidence in the state department files that there was a conflict with hunter biden and the company being investigated by the ukrainian prosecutor, so you've got the special envoy to the ukraine saying there was no quid pro quo. you have selective leaking of information. to the house republicans, you've done a good job of trying to correct the record. i think the whole thing is being driven by partisan adam schiff, we've never done impeachment this way, i do think that the whole think is illegitimate and if you do not inquire what hunter biden role had in getting prosecutor fired, you're really not looking at all things ukraine. maria: do you think the voters figured this out? >> do i. maria: do voters get this? >> to 31 house democrats who are serving in districts that donald trump holds, you're going to lose your job if you continue to play this game, no president in the history of the country has been treated this way, we've never had an impeachment process set up before where the intel does it and not judiciary, the president coun

and hunter biden. they may have actually already done it but principally the foreign corrupt practices act. you can't use extortion and bribery to coerce or influence a foreign government into taking official action that benefits you. that's the quid pro quo and the best evidence of it is the fire prosecutor who said that's exactly what joe biden did, and now these new documents unveiled by john solomon implicate hunter biden in this as well, so there's compelling evidence to justify department of justice investigation. if they don't do it i suggest congress do it, lindsey graham, chairman of the judiciary committee, should open investigation. >> sean: let me put up on the screen, matt gaetz, willie brown, former high-profile official -- i actually like them, i don't agree with the thing but he's a fun guy. sounding the alarm in a piece entitled "impeachment whenever democrats? don't bet on it." he writes this. "of the democrats will spend the next few precious months acting out a pretend cliffhanger t

related to hunter biden and burisma holdings. so, another flat-out lie which even contradicts his own son, by the way, who said in an interview in "the new yorker," yeah, we did talk about it. by the way, biden said he and hunter did nothing wrong. nothing. we'll correct this in a second. but take a look. >> no one has established that he did anything wrong or that i have done anything wrong. period. i carried out the policy of the united states of america, our allies, and the international monetary fund, the e.u., and dealing with the corrupt prosecutor, period. number one. i did not know he was on the board of that company, and, in fact, no one serving on the board it was illegal to be on the board or did anything wrong. >> if had you known, would have you said don't or would you have believed or said it o was wrong? >> no, it's not wrong. his words speak for themselves. he wished he had realized how thugs like rudy giuliani and the cronies of the president would try to paint it. >> sean: nothing wrong, ukraine, gas, oil, energ

and hunter biden. they may have done it. the foreign corrupt practice it ises act. you can't use extortion or bribery or sflns a -- influence a foreign government to benefit you. these new documents unveiled by john solomon implicate hunter biden in this as well. so there is compelling evidence to justify department of justice investigation. if they don't do it, i would suggest congress do it. lindsey graham, chairman of the judiciary committee should open vchgzs. >> sean: let me put up on the screen, matt gaetz, willie brown, former high-profile official, i don't agree with a thing but he's a fun guy sounding the alarm in a piece titled. he writes this. >> sean: come next year we'll have an impeachment victory and quite possibly a solid economy. the democrats will have what? absolutely nothing, matt gaetz. >> democrats are running a campaign of disorientation and distraction. that's principally for two reasons. they failed to deliver on the promises regarding health care, immigration, infrastructure,

biden. >> i would love to hear from hunter biden, other members who served on the board. i'm curious how someone who has no experience in a natural gas company comes to be on the board of a natural gas company in ukraine. >> reporter: republican cans appeal to the full -- republicans can appeal to the full committee, that is not expected to have effect given the committee's democratic majority. >> the republicans have requested, i would think that the chairman and is going to make available to testify. tim morrison is one, curt volcker is another -- kurt volker is another. we want to stay focused on the ukraine call. and having hunter biden is unrelated to the ukraine call, so that becomesser relling haven't. the whistleblower, again, has protection. >> reporter: the public phase begins this week with ambassador bill taylor and assistant secretary of state george kent on wednesday. ed: joining me now, reuters white house correspondent jeff mason. good to have you here in new york. the president's here in new york, so you're covering him. >> that's right. ed: when you look

finally, hunter biden's own account, hunter said he did discuss his original work with his dad. he told him, i hope you know what you are doing. if there is no corruption here, why is joe biden lying about this. new details emerged about the corruption, and freedom of information request. john solomon confirmed if a lobbying firm used hunter biden in the meeting, one day after that, devon archer met with secretary of state john kerry. seven months before those meetings hunter biden met with deputy secretary of state tony blinkham. meeting with the two top officials in the state department while billions of dollars were flown to ukraine. joe biden was in control of that aid. it's pry sighsly because joe biden is running for president now, we need to know that. the only way we can find out is to ask the ukrainian government. we have to get to the bottom of the cash for gas scandal. joining me, alabama congressman bradley burn. we have been on the same page on this for a long time. you have been on the show before impeachment started. tell us the latest. where are you with this bil

what do you say about hunter biden and this employee with burisma? if democrats push back on that witness list and don't allow some of this to open, that is complicated. does it take a snap of their credibility as they go forward? >> look, here's the problem -- hunter biden was not and has no knowledge of the president's phone call. this issue about the president's phone call, i understand republicans are trying to do it because they don't want to talk about with the president actually did. they are trying to make it about something else. the scope of the inquiry is about what happened on the president's phone call, and his strategy about ukraine. he may be wanting to do that because of the information he had about hunter biden, which there are varying things that suggest it was correct or incorrect. this is totally out of the scope of the hearing. republicans should know better, because it criticized democrats for wanting to bring and also as of things in the past on these issues, and they should stay focused on the inquiry. >> harris: david, can i

it's also time to put hunter biden under oath. did he speak with his father about his ukrainian business deals? their statements we already know and it pointed out are in conflict with each other. when on "the new york times" tipped off joe biden and then his son was being investigated by the prosecutor in ukraine. that would mean joe, well, he come too, should be subpoenaed, like adam schiff and hunter biden should be subpoenaed like the whistle-blower should be subpoenaed. by the way, what it hunter say to his father? question what did he ask for favors gross margin hunter biden know that paris smoke was paying him billions for no experience and was in fact using his name to get the obama state department to do favors for schiff holdings? the next president would need to go under oath is former vice president, yes, joe biden himself. he should be subpoenaed. what did he really know and when he did he know that his son was being investigated, how many people warn his son was being investigated, what was he aware that the ukrainia

zero experience, hunter biden. he was getting paid millions and millions of dollars from ukraine and gas energy giant, burisma holdings. at the same time his father was in charge of u.s.-ukrainian relations for the obama administration. now, hunter must have offered great experience in ukraine. no. energy? nope. oil? 's non. gas? non. a quid pro quo joe wants you to believe there is zero evidence of any potential wrongdoing. what you are about to see is a live. take a look. >> look, i think every single, solitary, serious investigator, including your network and others, have looked at this, have said there is absolutely zero basis to the accusation that i acted anyway inappropriately, or that my son did. this is all about trump trying to create a diversion. >> sean: what joe biden said right there is a live. he is the only corrupt player that we know with so he would prefer you don't believe his own bragging video evidence, and don't believe that zero experience hunter biden's multimillion dollar payday with ukrain

hunter biden. in the roles and the second ukraine had been known for some time, the former vice president campaign said they always acted to carry out policy without any activity that he had never discussed the matter with hunter biden and learned of his son's role with ukrainian energy company from the news reports. state department official flag hunter biden in this book when when they were preparing for her testimony to be confirmed as an ambassador in the q&a state department put together the appearance and reality of conflict of interest. george camp a career official of the state department, fox news tollhouse investigators that he raised concerns about hunter biden service on the board of ukrainian natural gas company, burisma and he said 2015 he became aware that hunter biden was on the board of ukrainian burisma while his father joe biden was on the ukrainian government. the vice president grieving over the passing of his older son. so nobody brings up the vice president, nonetheless the v

i'm just wondering how hunter biden got this she cushy job. getting this cushy job, jo, looks like joe biden has got dirt, too. it's sad to see that everybody in america has so much hate for each other. it's just really, really sad, and i don't know what else to say. but everybody is so decisive, it's pathetic. >> host: scott wong, we talked already hunter biden was on that republican witness list request. >> guest: the reason was because hunter biden during the obama presidency join the board of burisma which was ukrainian oil company at the time that joe biden, vice president at the time, had in his portfolio of work comp of ukraine which was obviously has been in a conflict with russia. that's significant because the appearance of it, and hunter biden has acknowledged this himself, the appearance of it was not good. hunter biden gave an interview in which he said if my name was not biden i probably would not a of gotten that job. there have been -- >> host: was at a recent interview? >> guest: after all this came out. clearly the bidens rec

that's what they say. >> hannity: what do you make of the hunter biden, joe biden, when you look at hunter and joe, zero experience, you don't get a billion unless you fire the guy investigating my son. if that was donald trump i think we all know we'd have very different coverage in this country. >> i think joe biden stepped in it deeper today saying there's nothing to investigate with hunter biden and after what was said about the corruption in ukraine and burisma, he said there's nothing to investigate in burisma despite the burisma founder was one of the most corrupt individuals in the ukraine. the conflict of interest continues to the very day the way joe biden talks about it. >> hannity: david axelrod is supporting deffal patrick and his entry and the remarks of obama saying you don't want to go too far hard left here. it seems like team obama, i'm reading the tea leaves, has given up on elizabeth warren and mr. sanders and mayor pete and i think they'll do one last push to get deval patrick to capture the infrastructure of team obama to help him? what do you say? >> i don't think hi

remember him, hunter biden? he is the lack luster politician son who not only got into yale law school, you are not a genius, no you didn't. not only that, but made close to a million dollars working in the ukrainian energy business despite knowing nothing about ukraine or energy. even by the standards of international corruption, it turns out he struck a remarkably corrupt deal. how corrupt? and analysis by watchdog research found that hunter biden's pay on the board of burisma energy amounted to 12 times what is typical for a company of that size. and yet, some are still claiming that hunter biden was hired by burisma to assist with "transparency and corporate reform." amazing. hilarious, actually, but also depressing because in the end this isn't really about hunter biden. it's not actually even really about the impeachment of the president. what you are seeing here, the story that is unfolding as a story about america's ruling class, some of which has been bought out by foreign entities. not surprisingly, in

how is it even possible for the mob to defend joe and hunter biden? #quidproquojoe . there is a damning evidence that paints a vivid picture of i would think that would be corruption trying to buy favor, some light colored influence peddling, i call it quid pro quo joe. joining us now with more, fox news contributor john solomon, you have breaking news tonight. is the guy in the interview we just played, he is the equivalent of the ag, he is the of william barr. >> he's a guy that was put in place because joe biden fired his predecessor and remember, joe biden vouched in that same tape where he talked about firing the other guy, he said i put a solid guy in place of him. now they've turned on lucenko because they don't like the story on hunter biden. >> sean: as you were interviewing him, you weren't supposed to report that, understood. let's go to what you develop tonight. >> george kent that state department official testified in the summer of 16, he learned the u.s. state department's foreign aid bureau usaid had created a partnership with burisma and hunter biden,

the big name is hunter biden himself. they want to know more about his dealings in ukraine on the board of that ukrainian natural gas company. they also want to hear from another person who sat on that board. they also want to hear from the whistle-blower and some of the sources that the whistle-blower talked to, clearly looking to puncture some of the whistle-blower's complaint, find some vulnerabilities in that. the list also includes three people who have testified behind closed doors already to lawmakers. they want to hear from tim morrison, a former nsc senior director. they want to hear from kurt volker, special envoy to ukraine and david hale, undersecretary of state for political affairs. these three witnesses were considered in their closed door depositions to provide a more favorable account of what was going on behind the scenes in the ukraine policy. there's two names that also indicate that the republicans want to probe this unfounded theory about ukraine's involvement in the 2016 election. they want to hear

hunter biden. remember him? hunter biden. he is lackluster politician's son who was somehow not only got into yale law school -- did you get into yale law school? not only did that with me close to a million dollars working in the ukrainian energy business despite knowing nothing about ukraine or energy. even by the standards of international corruption, it turned out that he struck a remarkably corrupt deal. how corrupt? and analysis by watchdog rager dominic research found that hunter biden's pay on the board of burisma energy announced a 12 times what is typical for a company of that size. and yet some are claiming that hunter biden was hired by burisma to assist with "transparency and corporate reform." amazing. hilarious, actually, but also depressing because in the end, this isn't really about hunter biden. it's not actually really about the impeachment of the president. what you are seeing here, the story that is unfolding, a story about america's ruling class, some of which has been bought

people in kentucky is what about hunter biden in this. the mind set among a lot of people in america, 50%, the only corruption coming out of the transcript is the potential corruption by hunter biden. it's certainly conflict of interest to have a vice president's son with no background in the energy industry profiting at such a large amount from a company that he has no background in and they haven't been transparent in why exactly hunter biden was a member of that board of directors and why he was getting paid such a large salary. gillian: the obvious fact here is that hunter biden is also a democrat, he worked pretty close to his father at times on his presidential campaign, so why do you want the american people to hear from another democrat who is going to be very critical of president trump, very critical of this entire administration and obviously going to look defend him as much as possible, don't you want to get people on the witness stand who are on your own side? >> i do. there have been some people that have been deposed that h

zero experience, hunter biden. he was getting paid millions and millions of dollars from ukraine and gas energy giant, burisma holdings. at the same time his father was in charge of u.s.-ukrainian relations for the obama administration. now, hunter must have offered great experience in ukraine. no. energy? nope. oil? none. gas? none. quid pro quo joe wants you to believe there is zero evidence of any potential wrongdoing. what you are about to see is a live. take a look. >> look, i think every single, solitary, serious investigator, including your network and others, have looked at this, have said there is absolutely zero basis to the accusation that i acted anyway inappropriately, or that my son did. this is all about trump trying to create a diversion. >> sean: what joe biden said right there is a lie. he is the only corrupt player that we know with ukraine. so he would prefer you don't believe his own bragging video evidence, and don't believe that zero experience hunter biden's multimillion dollar payday with u

according to the washington post, the list includes hunter biden, hunter biden's business partner devon archer, the original whistle-blower, researcher from fusion gps which commissioned a dossier. and a ukrainian american who worked with the democratic national committee. garrett haake joins me now from capitol hill. also, joined by our attorney pamela. she's former veteran prosecutor and served as counsel to the house judiciary committee during proceedings against chief judge walter nixon of mississippi. pier garret garrett, let's start with you and that list. i don't know. give me the right question to ask because the question in my head is, why are all those people on the list? >> those are folks on that graphic who represent all the other topics that republicans would like to have be part of the conversation on impeachment. hunter biden and one of his business partners from burisma gets us into the issue of what donald trump was trying to get investigated in ukraine in the first place. the anonymous whistle-blower is a perfect avatar of our times. the kind of figure and anonymous q

, hunter biden is on the board. a couple of days after that his business partner meets with john kerry and not too long after that, he fires the prosecutor he knows. that's it in a nutshell. >> laura: dan, biden said he did know anything about this. this is a big conspiracy theory and they have all these friends in the media who are out there trashing solomon's reporting and he reminded me, hundred front page stories for "the washington post" when he worked for "the washington post." they left him then, but now he's looking into something else. what are your thoughts? >> it's fascinating. they can call it a conspiracy theory all they want. it's certainly a conspiracy, but it's not a theory. i follow his work at admire it and i've been following it for a long time. he has government documents from ukraine! legal teams for burisma, their own document indicated that everything democrats are telling you and by democrats i mean the media, it's not true! think about it, one of the myths he debunked last week was that buri

documents and testimony from the hunter biden whistleblower. and from democratic national committee. we will hear from francine next. plainfield new jersey, fr republican line. >> am an attorney and i have to tell you that i find this whole thing disgusting. first of all, we have never in our history seen something where a person running for office come before they even get into office is being attacked the way this poor man has been attacked. this man has not been able to do any of the things that we have elected them for. what he is being impeached for right now is exactly what we the people wanted him to do we wanted him to act like a president unlike a couple presidents who were nothing but do-nothing people. from all these ambassadors and state e department people sitti up there testifying there a bunch of do-nothing people. everybody knew there was corruption and ukraine and nobody has the guts to do anything about it. he should call back every ambassador because under the law it is his right. he has a way to fire every single ambassador

and hunter biden in ukraine. the second part i will say quickly is that hunter biden did not have any particularly sterliling qualifications to ben the board of a scandal plagued ukrainian natural gas company. you don't bring on hunter biden because he is an expert in the industry for $50,000 a month. you bring on hunter biden because his last name is s bide. ththere is an appepearance of a conflict of interest there. george kent raised that issue several years ago as he testified, that he thought it had the appearance of conflict. that is something that is worth looking at as well. it is something we have looked at and others have as well. i want to make sure that is clear, too. amy: i guess the question is, with the republicans keep on raising this during the presidential campaign because it also will remind you of president trump and his involvement in this. i want to go to ukraine special envoy kurt volker who was a witness, requested by the republicans. >> third, i did not understand that others believed in

hunter biden? what the hell was this? like here is the thing. if republicans want to investigate hunter biden then investigate hunter biden but that is not what this hearing is about. you are just making it about something else. handle if the cops showed up to your office to investigate a robbery and while they are dusting for prints you pop up, hey, i know you guys are busy but could you also figure out who has been stealing my yogurt every day thrarks is not the reason you are here, plaib it should be, okay. that was ukrainian yogurt. but the republicans weren't just trying to figure out hunter biden height, weight and favorite color, whether it was congressman jim jordan turn to ask questions his big argument was that none of this testimony should count because it was all a game of telephone. >> you weren't on the call, were you. you didn't listen on president trump's call. >> i did not. >> you never talked with mulvaney. >> i never did. >> you never met the president. >> that's correct. >> this

hunter biden is a key witness in that. in trump's, strategy. that's why the democrats are trying to do. >> harris: let me ask you along those lines, it does seem like now hear more and more and more, if you wanted a pay day you went to ukraine. does it seem like hunter biden would be a necessary witness the way joey explains a? >> jessica: it is certainly a better argument that you'd want to hear, whistle-blower's complaint has been corroborated by everyone 20 ways from sunday. his life and his livelihood is very much at risk if his name gets released. the issue here is that corruption was going on in ukraine and it doesn't appear the biden's were actually profiting off of that and everyone says they went through the protocol and joe biden was executing u.s. foreign policy. >> melissa: you don't think they were profiting? >> jessica: i don't think they were doing anything besides getting a head because of nepotism which hunter biden talked about in his interview three or four weeks ago. the issue here is whether the president of the united stat

state department stop looking into us, we even have hunter biden on our board. oh,oa now it makes sense, this s been so hard and so difficult and so complicated. gregg jarrett, great work. now let's turn to some more breaking developments, newly released transcripts from the top-secret schiff soviet-style impeachment coup attempt. bad news for democrats. career state department official -- george, you will me an apology, we are going to be talking about this soon. testified he had no knowledge that usa aid to ukraine was ever connected to an investigation request and he said the government of ukraine had no idea there was a temporary hold on aid until a month after thehe president's phone call. they got the money without doing anything. that's not all. can also raise concerns about the biden and burisma holdings, even mentioned yours truly, i will accept the guy's apology. he also testified i wasi talkig to the state department about the former ambassador to ukraine. i'm going to spell it out for all of yourafo one more time, i suggest you read my twitter accoun

after the raid, hunter biden kicks in, and hunter biden's business partner, john kerry, and advises him on three occasions to make a phone call to the president of the ukraine and goes over there in march and they fire the guy. and this is the same man of the ambassador wanted to investigate in 2015. what happen here, is, hunter biden was on the board and that changed everything. >> sean: the letter goes out tomorrow to the secretary of state mike pompeo, -- >> never called me. i want to know from mike pompeo, and he records that the vice president talked about. why were you calling the residence after? released them! >> sean: release them! >> instead of congratulating the prosecutor for going after the dirtiest guy in the ukraine, the end of firing him. it didn't do anything with the fact that hunter biden was on the board? you have to remember that the vice president son was serving on the board that was run by the dirtiest guy according to the ukraine according to our own ambassador in 2015. >> sean: you have on september e inspector general for the committee. >> i'm hoping we get a

it includes hunter biden. and i want to let everyone know, we have just gotten word from chairman schiff, he's put out a statement on this minority witness request, saying "the committee is evaluating the minority's witness requests and will give due consideration to witnesses within the scope of the impeachment inquiry as voted on by the house." he goes on to say, "as we move into the open hearing phase of the inquiry, the committee is mindful that we are engaged in a sober endeavor rooted in the constitution to determine whether the president of the united states engaged in misconduct that warrants impeachment by the house." he finally says, "this inquiry is not and will not serve, however, as a vehicle to undertake the same sham investigations into the bidens or 2016 that the president pressed ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit or to facilitate the president's effort to threaten, intimidate and retaliate against the whistle-blower who courageously raised the initial alarm." give me your t

later hunter biden's people are at the office. a couple days after that hunter biden's business partner meets with kerry and not long after that joe biden fires the ukraine prosecutor that he knows was investigating his son's company. >> laura: dan, they say this is all a conspiracy theory and these friends in the media who are trashing solomon's reporting and he's reminded me he has 100 front page stories for "the washington post" when he worked for "the washington post." they loved him then. now he's looking into something else and suddenly you can't trust this. what are your thoughts? >> it's fascinating. they can call did a conspiracy theory all they want. it's certainly a conspiracy but it's not a theory. i follow john's work and admire it and i have been following it for a long time. john has government documents from ukraine. legal teams for burisma, their own documents indicating that everything the democrats are telling you -- and by democrats, you mean the media, too, about this case is not true. one of the myths he debu

go after hunter biden. putting him on her wish list and they want to hear from the whistle-blower. >>> some candidates dropping out and a new candidate testing the water and may jump in. michael bloomberg preparing to enter the race for the white house. what his late arrival could mean for fellow democrats. >>> sports and politics colliding right now. president trump arriving within the last few moments in tuscaloosa, alabama, for the lsu/alabama game. his third sporting event in three weeks. the two previous ones, he was greeted with a lot of boos. how will he be greeted now? we'll be live there. >>> we begin with the latest move from republicans days before the house impeachment hearings go public. releasing their own list of witnesses republicans .to hear from. headlining the lift, hunter biden, as well as the anonymous whistle-blower. president trump weighed in recommending nancy pelosi and adam schiff and joe biden and the second whistle-blower be added to the docket. go now to nbc's kelly o'donnell li

moreover, we want hunter biden. we want hunter biden. you folks at "the new york times" and other places, you have told us about hunter biden. you have taught us about the bidens. don't we have a right as the american people to know that he is a crook? is that the only family in american history who was about to be investigated? i don't think so. and one other thing, this is the so-called whistle-blower's complaint. this has been schiff's playbook from number one. adam, were you involved in writing this? adam needs to be a witness to. we want to know all about adam. we know he's a liar. we need to put him under oath under penalty and perjury. you can see that this was adam schiff's playbook from day one, page after page after page. you know what this was? this was a shadowy exercise by schiff, his staff, the whistle-blower, and the democrats to bring down the president. >> sean: his new show, 8:00 p.m. sunday night. joining us now, fox sports correspondent. dan bongino. i don't know how you guys top that, but he's right. all of that is t

and hunter biden's activities in ukraine. to the extent others may say they're debunked, i promise you republicans will take this information and say no, this supports the entire quid pro quo. it was totally warranted because the president is charged with rooting out corruption that may threaten the united states. and if rudy giuliani went out and investigated and provided evidence to the state department -- there you go. now the investigations suddenly become warranted. so whether some have debunked them. others have very much bunked them, i guess. >> okay. we're going to move on from that, to giuliani's indicted associates, one of them being l lev parnas. notably, he's the ranking minority member, devin nunes, first is parnas a credible witness? is there any chance that congress brings him in to testify? >> you brought up one of my favorite conundrums as a criminal defense attorney. is a cooperating witness's testimony or information he provides to prosecutors reliable? after all you start with the presumption that he's an

alex, your thought on the hunter biden? we are still taking a look at video back on topic here. >> alex: on hunter biden, to me it's a reminder of how poorly the biden campaign has handled the situation. there is the one interview he did the day of the debate where he had acknowledged it showed poor judgment, but didn't then that she didn't apologize for it, didn't say he was going to do it again. and biden has never really interested of the event a kind of point the republicans. >> harris: for the biden family, i would imagine -- >> alex: the biden campaign needs to get out of this. clearly the republicans aren't going to let it go. they should be much more transparent -- >> harris: i've heard that said before about other topics. the biden campaign needs to get out of this. >> alex: they should be more transparent about what hunter was doing. >> marie: they are not responding quickly to things. on this issue, where i don't believe vice president biden did anything wrong, they have been slow to respond. i think because they

cnn was talking about joe biden and hunter biden on may 12th own john king reported on his show that hunter biden worked for national gas company in ukraine that is totally fair game to ask whether he made money so -- >> because you brought that up i want to tell you that -- a couple of things. current and former ukrainian prosecutors general have publicly said that ukraine does not have any information about any wrongdoing by hunter biden. that is number one. number two, the u.s. government, the e.u., the imf, all wanted this prosecutor that you're talking about fired because he was not -- >> we had these conversations six weeks ago when nancy pelosi jumped the gun before she read the transcript of the call believed there were eight quid pro quo requests in the transcript they are not there. and believe that president said he was holding up aid. not there. believe the president said he wanted a 2020 rival investigated, not there. joe biden is not insolated from his past actions gist because he's running for president. if anything the scrutiny should be -- >> what i hear you saying a

and it's joe biden and hunter biden. and i think donald trump has the right to have his lawyers come in and ask questions -- >> not in this process. here's where we disagree. >> justice demands fairness under law in calall cases. logically, forget about being a lawyer, you could be right about hunter biden. it could be a criminal situation and yet how you did this could still be an abuse of power because you went about it to get maximal political advantage out of it and minimal light. but let's see what the facts bring out this week. i'll have you back for sure. sean duffey, always a pleasure. >> thanks chris, have a good one. >>> all right. so, former ambassador yovanovitch warned you that america's foreign service pros are phasing real harm. why? how does that sit with a friend of hers, a former ambassador herself? how do we make sense of that type of admonition? next. the ninja foodi grill. get the perfectly grilled flavors of an outdoor grill indoors, and because it's a ninja foodi, it can do even more, like transfor

biden. >> so hunter biden is added to the board of burisma. now, do you think that creates a problem a problem that burisma may be adding people to its board for protection purposes? >> sir, i work for the government. i don't work in the corporate sector and so i believe that companies build their boards with a variety of reasons. not only not only build business plans. >> was hunter biden a corporate governance expert. >> i have no idea what hunter biden studied at university or what his cv says. >> iis he the jeffrey of ukraine? >> i have no awareness or knowledge of what his background was and what he may have done on the board of burisma. >> so you don't know whether he has any business experience in ukraine prior to joining burisma's board? >> i have heard nothing about prior experience, no. >> do you know if he speaks ukrainian? >> i do not. >> do you know if he possesses any other element, other than the fact that he is the son of, at the time, the sitting vice president? >> i do not. >> ambassador taylor, do you know whether hunter bid

his son, hunter biden? is he right? >> it's [ bleep ]. from first word to the last word. >> did people here in ukraine, investigators like yourself, anti-corruption activists, think that shokin was doing a good job, that he was effective? >> absolutely not. shokin was corrupt, ineffective prosecutor. it was the consensus of civil society in ukraine and international partners of ukraine that shokin was a disaster for prosecutor general office, shokin has to go, he was intimidating investigators in his office. >> biden was pushing for someone who would be more aggressive, more actively looking into burisma and other companies? >> that's correct. >> giuliani is rewriting what happened. shokin was a prosecutor who was widely viewed by experts as being a holdover from the pro-moscow yanukovych era, who wasn't doing an adequate job in prosecuting burisma, the gas company, or lots of other corruption issues. and there was a general agreement that it was time to get him out. >> viktor shokin was formally let go wit

, about hunter biden, joe biden's son. let's take a listen to what he had to say this past week. >> no conspiracy theory is too outlandish for the democrats. you would think they would take some interest in burisma and you'd think they would be interested in joe biden. we need to subpoena hunter biden. >> i think one of the mothers of all conspiracy theories is that somehow the president of the united states would want a country that he doesn't even like, he doesn't want to give foreign aid to, to have the ukrainians start an investigation into bidens. >> okay. so you can see clearly from that nunes has a very strong interest in what biden was doing in ukraine. apparently that was a topic of conversation between nunes and this former prosecutor general of ukraine. the guy's name is viktor shokin. as you mentioned earlier, he was forced out of his job inspe 201 because the u.s. and other western powers were saying he wasn't doing enough to crack down on corruption. kind of undercuts some of the theories from nunes and his c
