conversation with a foreign leader he asked about joe biden? >> well, let me say first, chuck, i'm not sure what the speaker has done today. i did say go hard or go home. and i say it again to my democratic friends. either impeach or stop talking about it. all i heard the speaker say today was that the impeachment investigation continues. she didn't say it's beginning. i mean, chairman nadler hasn't been playing candy crush for the last year. he's been conducting an investigation, for god's sakes. if she's talking about bringing articles of impeachment, that's very newsworthy. to say that the investigation continues, i get that it's news, but i don't think it's as newsworthy as some have -- some have argued. now -- >> we'll find out. >> we'll find out. >> it is news that she was endorsing it. for what it's worth, she kept denying that jerry nadler was doing -- >> i think she's always endorsed it. do you think jerry nadler would have been conducting this investigation if nancy pelosi had told him not to? of course not. she rules in the house. now, but let me answer your question. i don't kno

fascinating exchange last night involving vice president joe biden. a lot of people went up against him, but particularly julian castro. you just said that, you just said that two minutes ago. you just at two minutes ago they would have to buy in. medicaida qualify for -- >> are you forgetting? guy: it was pretty dramatic -- david: it was pretty dramatic when we all watched it. what is the fallout from this, if any? been from fallout has prominent democratic strategists in the spin room. julian castro overstepping and not really doing himself any favors in terms of having a breakout moment that would fuel talk he would be able to be an alternative. joe biden remains the formidable front runner. that exchange was over medicare. it was not an effective delivery about medicare because everyone is talking about whether or not julian castro took a page out of president trump's political playbook and attacking joe biden's health. on the issue of medicare, joe biden wanted to have the contrast in debate with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders repeatedly. he criticized senator sanders, cal

"washington week." democrats debate, with joe biden still at centerstage. and in a standoff over healthcare. >> medicare for all will save the average american substantial sums of money >> what this is about is making sure that we have the most effient way possible to pay for healthcare for everyonveth n country. >> i know that the senator says 'me's for bernie. well for barack. i think the obamacare worked.be : other contenders tried to break out. >> hell yes, we're going to take your ar-15, your ak-47. bert: and challenge president trump. >> president trump scoffed and h sad like to see me making a deal with jinping xi. i'd like to see him make deal wi jinping xi. robert: john bolton exitsecs national sity advisor and the president takes charge. president trump: it's a great job. you know why it's easy, because i make all the decisions. robert: next. announcer: this is "washington week." funding is providinged by -- >> kevin -- >> kevin. >> kevin. >> advice for life. life well planned. learn more at jammed jam.com. >> additional funding is provided by -- koo and patricia yuen,

candidates were altogether on one stage. the debate kicking off with former vice president joe biden tangling with progressive senators warren and sanders. from there, the candidates debating the merits of liberal policies before and at times boisterous audience. tonight we will be talking to some of the candidates life. plus plenty of analysis ahead including reaction from the heads of the dnc and the rnc. first we have fox team coverage, peter doocy is standing by working the spin room here in kristin fisher is also live in houston right outside the debate all and that is where we go first for the highlights. good evening, kristin. >> well, the big question heading into tonight's debate was will joe biden finally debate like the front row that he is? will he prove that he's worthy worthy of his place in the polls? tonight joe biden was definitely more forceful and energetic than he has been in any of the previous debates, but julian castro would not let voters forget how forgetful biden has been on the campaign trail. watch this moment, really by far the most heated of the debate w

confirmed tonight that president trump did pressure the president of ukraine to investigate joe biden's son in a call earlier this summer. "the wall street journal" owned by a trump pal also reports that pressure was applied about eight times in that one call in hopes ukraine would work with the president's lawyer rudy giuliani. giuliani was pushing for ukraine to look into biden's son, hunter, too, as he said last night in a denial turned admission that was like something out of "a few good men." >> did you ask the ukraine to vet joe biden? >> no. actually, i didn't. i asked the ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was interference in the election of 2016 by the ukrainians for the benefit of hillary clinton for which there there are -- >> you never asked anything about hunter biden, you never asked anything about joe biden -- >> the only thing i asked about joe biden is to get to the bottom of how it was that the man appointed dismissed the case against -- >> so did you ask ukraine to look into joe biden? >> of course i did. >> you just said you didn't. you have to see past th

asked a foreign power to dig up dirt on his potential opponent joe biden, he asked aides to deny the requests. he spoke to reporters at the ukraine about joe biden's quote, corruption, and he wouldn't give joe biden to ukraine if he wasn't, quote, rooting out corruption. >> a large part of the conversation i had was corruption, the corruption taking place. largely the fact we don't want people like vice president biden and his son contributing to the corruption already in the ukraine. >> what did you tell the ukrainian president about joe biden and his son? >> you're going to see because what we are doing, we want honesty. it's very important to talk about corruption. if you don't talk about corruption, why would you give money to a country that you think is corrupt? one of the reasons the new president got elected is he was going to stop corruption. so it's very important that on occasion you speak to somebody about corruption. very important. >> and after the president confirmed talking to ukraine about biden came the denials about an explicit quid pro quo tied to foreign aid. >> d

leader volodymyr zelensky. he acknowledged on the phone call he did indeed talk about joe biden. the president also saying the conversations on the call were appropriate and that biden shoulding investigated in his view. the president feels that biden's son hunter benefited from business dealings in ukraine and china. because of his father's position then as vice president. >> phone call with the president of ukraine. everybody knows it. it is just a democrat witch-hunt. here we go again. they failed with russia. they failed with -- they failed with everything. now they're bringing this up. the one who has the problem is biden. when you look what biden did. biden did what they would like for me to do, except one problem i didn't do it. what biden did is a disgrace. what his son did is a disgrace. reporter: democrats are focusing on the trump-zelensky call and the whistle-blower complain that brought it to light. they want the complaint given to congress. they question the president whether the president was using his position to potentially harm a political opponent. in a letter to m

joe biden's son during a phone call on july 25th. president trump just minutes ago told reporters that call was largely congratulatory and, quote, a perfect ten. and again, this morning, the president raised questions about former vice president biden. we should note according to the ukrainian prosecutor there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by another -- either joe or hunter biden. and another known, the president has not denied and continued to not deny this morning that he discussed the former vice president in his call with the ukraine leader. the issue of the president pressuring ukraine to investigate his rival came to light as part of a whistleblower complaint that the white house is keeping from congress much to the chagrin of the trump appointed inspector general for the intelligence community. the president has also gone from tweeting that, quote, virtually any time i speak on the phone to a foreign leader i understand there may be people listening from various u.s. agencies to this weekend quoting a fox personality saying, quote, an american spy in one of our intellige

joe biden and his son. the president urged ukraine to work with his personal attorney, rudy giuliani, on the matter. joining me right now to give us his first reaction to all of this is rudy giuliani, former new york city mayor. mr. mayor, it's good to see you this morning. >> and former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york who investigated many corruption cases, democrats and republicans. i didn't have this handle that exists now which is you only investigate republicans. these things that are alleged by joe biden, you change the name to trump, is there any fair-minded person in this country that thinks after six months i would be pointing him out, putting him online and the new york times and washington post won't have made a major scandal out of this? if you think that, you're not observing reality. and this is part of the reason for the bitterness and tuition in this country, because americans instinctively cannot abide two different systems of justice. one, if your son is working for a crookinged oligarch in a country you're giving out money and you're the vice pr

hunter biden saying biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution, so if you can look into it and it sounds horrible to me. sources who actually know how presidential phone calls work say this transcript reflects standard procedure. it's however administration for decades has documented calls with foreign leaders. they also tell fox news they are confident it's accurate. we will learn more, shannon, tomorrow when the acting dni is up on capitol hill. shannon. >> shannon: we are going to watch very closely, gillian turner, thank you. >> you bet. >> shannon: a fox news alert, republican who serves on the house intelligence committee says the whistle-blower complaint has been declassified, he is encouraging everyone to read it, but we don't have a link, we don't have it, sojourning out, chad pergram. this all comes ahead of a really big hearing tomorrow but you got a tip from stuart this was going to be declassified. it sounds like it is, we're waiting to see if we get a look. >> set it on the air just last hour so i immediately got in touch with him. he had left the bure

biden's son. but the president today defended his phone call with ukraine's president, which happened back in july, saying democrats are misfiring in their demands for an investigation. watch. >> we had an appropriate phone call with the president of ukraine. everybody knows it's, it's just the democratic witch hunts. the ricoh again. they failed with the russians, the field with recession, they failed with everything. now they are bringing this up. the one who's got the problem is biden. you look at what biden did, he did what they would like to have me do, except one problem -- i didn't do it. what biden did was a disgrace. what his son did was a disgrace. >> harris: meanwhile, house speaker nancy pelosi is suggesting that impeachment is in fact on the table, demanding the administration turn over the transcript of president trump's phone call and the full whistle-blower report. chief white house correspondent john roberts is at the table with me today. >> good to see you! >> harris: and you don't have anything behind you in terms of the white house. >> yes, we don't have j
