>> the president's vicious attacks on hunter biden. he is running for office and is not a campaign surrogate. >> there is no evidence they've got 1.5 billion. >> hunter biden is a private citizen. is targeting a private citizen. >> many in the media refusing to ask tough questions about hunter biden's ties to ukraine in china and instead keeping focus on donald trump but with his first tv interview scheduled for this morning will be learn anything new, here with her take his constitutional law attorney and trump 2020 advisory board member janet alice reeves.

what can we expect, going back to the beginning of that, do we expect any tough questions? >> not at all. this is all part of the crisis communication strategy to respond to donald trump and the other reasonable people in america who say what is going on? they selected this forum, the questions are going to be very carefully worded to make sure he doesn't incriminate himself or joe biden and it will be heavily edited. i don't anticipate we will learn anything new about this. this is simply to respond in crisis communication sitting. >> here's what the president had to say. he said a big scandal at abc news. they got caught using really gruesome fake footage of the turks bombing in syria. a real disgrace. tomorrow they will ask softball questions to sleepy joe biden's on hunter like why did ukraine and china pay you millions when you knew nothing, pay off? >> should be objecting to leading questions and making sure this is a fair interview

but we know the leftist media doesn't work that way. it will be something completely geared to not only help out hunter biden, joe biden, and make sure they turn the focus right back to donald trump and for everyone who is looking at this in a reasonable context responding to the clip you just said, he's a private citizen but he is someone who needs to be investigated with his father who is vice president and look at this potential corruption. shannon: not only was he then vice president but point man on foreign policy. regardless how you get into it, it appears to be a conflict of interest. >> and now that hunter biden is stepping down, even that stepping down is a tacit admission there may have been something at least optically

wrong with it. that is an interesting move as well. >> we have a statement from hunter biden's attorney on the recent attacks, he said hunter always understood his father would be guided entirely and unequivocally by established us policy regardless of effect on professional interest, never anticipated the barrage of false charges and it goes on from there. context and timing coming right after hunter biden said he would step down from the board in china. >> hunter biden should go to do process, presumption of innocence, receive all the protections afforded by the constitutional process but the point is there should be an investigation. he should be held accountable to what if any collections took place. the leftist mainstream media especially abc are trying to help him cover his tracks. >> we will see what happens a couple hours from now.

>> great to be with you. >> the time is 17 minutes after the top of the hour. fast food is about to get pretty inconvenient. the city's banning drive-throughs and mark zuckerberg sparking new outrage on social media just for meeting with conservatives. carly shimkus has heard about it and has more.

>> it was a major topic of conversation last night, so much so the hashtag delete made something major, mark zuckerberg had informal meetings and off the record bidders with prominent conservatives, these meetings included people like fox's tucker carlson, lindsey graham and conservative commentator ben schapiro. zuckerberg defended himself in a facebook post saying discussing dinners i had with conservative politicians, media and thinkers, i have dinner with lots of people across the spectrum on lots of different issues all the time, meeting new people and

hearing from a wide range of viewpoints as part of learning. if you haven't tried it i suggest you do. not everyone thinks that his meeting with conservatives is worthy of fleeing the site. when twitter user says zuckerberg is a ceo but also a private citizen, he has the right to whatever -- democrats need to stop trying to censor people. up on twitter says the anything goes liberals, you would think they would be more tolerant and another twitter user says don't delete it because i'm not trying to have my family moved to instagram to socialize with the delete facesbook group of people, he met with them to try to talk to them about legitimate concerns that social media is trying to censor. >> this would be an example of that very thing, not by the organization but the people who use it. >> a generous moment. don't talk to each other. >> as we from your previous guest freedom of association is constitutionally protected. >> the second topic, we regret

to inform you that fried chicken is homophobic. >> chick-fil-a has opened its first uk restaurant and the same controversy that surrounded the restaurant here traveled with across the pond. a writer for london's eat.com posted a tweet saying we regret to inform you that fried chicken is homophobic. one person says wait till he is how efficient they are and how friendly they are to every customer. another twitter user says i doubt the chicken has any feelings on the subject whatsoever. james says i want a sandwich without any politics on it. leave fried chicken out of it. another debate, this viral sneaker debate. >> will smith weighed in on said debate. >> what color do you see? there is no right answer but it

is definitely not pink. >> if you remember the address debate, the same thing going viral once again. it went viral in 2017, had to do with these sneakers, something they are pink, others see them as teal, liz says i see gray and teal but my whole team sees pink and white. if you see anything else you are crazy. she sees aqua and gray. let us know what you see. >> i haven't looked yet. >> i think you are pink person. >> i will let you know. the time is 26 minutes after the top of the hour and joe biden

will be front and center, will his opponents attack them over ukraine or will they ignore it like the rest of the left. our panel is here to debate it next.

>> welcome back. look at our top headlines this morning. the former police officer who shot and killed a woman in her home is now charged with murder. aaron dean was arrested yesterday hours after redesigning from the fort worth police department accused of shooting tiana jefferson through a window. she was playing video games with her young nephew at the time. dean was performing a wellness check and did not identify himself as an officer. much more to come on that.

turkey is pressing ahead with its assault on the kurds despite donald trump issuing economic sanctions and demanding a cease-fire. the turkish president is vowing to finish what he started. today the pastor imprisoned in turkey will say the opening prayer in the senate, one year since he was released following pressure from donald trump. 's new book detailing his two years in prison hits shelves today. he was charged on terrorism offenses. today top house democrats are expected to huddle on the hill to update members on the impeachment inquiry push. congress returning to session after a 2-week recess. us ambassador is scheduled to testify on thursday, expected to tell lawmakers that donald trump said there would be no quid pro quo on the phone call with the ukrainian president. democrats revealing very little information about their impeachment interview.

wall street journal columnist says they are just ignoring how impeachment is supposed to be done. >> we have had two martin impeachment increase and in both cases the party in charge bent over backwards to make sure was done in a fair and open manner because they understood they needed to treat impeachment as the father and serious tool that it is. we have a house democratic majority that hasn't even had a vote and taken the accountability on the floor to take responsibility for this. they are holding their proceedings in secret, denying the white house the right to a their own witnesses and republicans the right to cross-examine witnesses or even be present. this is not how americans expect impeachment to be treated and these are the kind of damaged institutions that will be with us for a long time in this country. >> we won't have any. >> 2020 democrats stumbling when

asked about hunter biden's dealings with ukraine on the campaign trail. listen to this. >> i don't know. i would have to look at the details. >> the problem we have with this issue is it is a distraction. >> i don't know what went into that or how he got fired or why. >> with the fourth round of debates set for tonight will they use ukraine to attack the former vice president? holly turner and managing partner at the chaffetz group, kevin chaffetz. thank you for joining us. how do you think this will be handled tonight? >> and is incumbent on the media to ask tough questions. they are not going to do it but every candidate on stage should be asked if you were the president, would you allow your a vice president to have a family member serve on the board of a foreign company?

they have to be able to answer the question but nobody is asking those hard questions but it is important to know if they would allow that to take place nevermind the kind of pressure biden was putting on the country and how he was using us resources to manipulate them to protect his son and benefit himself financially. to have his son on the board in the first place was definitely a conflict and should not be allowed. shannon: what do you think? ukraine and china, how will it be handled tonight? >> they will probably ask about it, if you were vice president or if you were president would you allow your vice president's family members to work in a similar role? they asked senator warren something similar and she first said she wouldn't allow it but then said she wasn't sure and changed her mind. i don't think the candidates will use it as a way to attack joe biden. there is no evidence of wrongdoing by hunter biden, no evidence the prosecutor was removed in response to pressure

placed on him because he was investigating the founder of burisma holdings, no evidence of any of that. i don't know if it is a place democrats can score points against the vice president especially when other attacks on him have caused people to fold. >> i was going to bring that up because i recall in the first debate a lot of pushback given to biden and former president obama and that didn't play well in the days following that debate. what do you think will be the big talker tonight? foreign-policy is back in the news with everything that is happening with syria and sanctions, do you think they will tackle foreign-policy issues a little more this time around? >> is like every other debate every single topic they bring up, every answer you here is going to be based on trump and what trump is doing wrong and how trump needs to be impeached. it will all come back to that because the democrats have not

shown that they have a clear strategy whether it is foreign relations are fixing our domestic issues, they don't have a clear plan or clear strategy to fix that aside from socialism. we make a little bit of that tonight but you will expect to hear a lot of attacks on the president, that is there go to. >> what do you think will be the big talker tonight and do you think foreign-policy will be hit a little more than it has in the last three debates? >> the easy answer would be impeachment. that will come up, opinions on that, most candidates have come out in support of impeachment but i do think foreign-policy will step to the front front because of what has happened recently with syria, with the decision to remove troops, the reversal of that decision by donald trump, foreign-policy will come up but also watch for jobs and the economy which is a hot topic in presidential elections but the debate is in

ohio, where a lot of trump, the reason he won was his promise to ohio and midwestern states that he would bring jobs back to those areas, reinvigorate the economy there. we were here candidates have to discuss plans for how they will bring jobs back and keep the economy going. shannon: thank you very much for joining us, we will see what happens tonight, appreciate it. some other headlines, federal judge rules arguments today in a lawsuit challenging massachusetts's ban on vaping product. the request to temporarily lift the ban while the case is decided. vaping store owners say it will destroy the $330 million industry putting them out of business. in oregon vaping shops are already closing their doors after the state issued a 6-month ban on flavored vaping product. according to the cdc, 26 people have died from vaping related

heather: the war on wealth, to end corporate greed by taxing billionaires, 97.5%. should the vermont senator spend other peoples money, and joins me now. we appreciate it. what are your thoughts about bernie sanders's plan? >> i think lower-class, middle-class, millionaires and billionaires are willing to give their own money. what we are trying to show is we use technology to do it instead of waiting for the government. for so long we have been told the government has to do it or

you don't get it at all. what needs to happen with social media and technology, americans and humans need to start helping each other. heather: this compares to other plans, this will come up in a debate where you have warren 62% in terms of taxes for the top 1%, biden suggesting 31%, donald trump at 20%. sanders's plan would cut the number of millionaires in the country by half in 15 years. what does that do to people's incentive to work hard and become successful? >> the resources that are philanthropic. the government wasn't able to -- billionaires, that is part of

the whole movement, there are hundreds of millions if not trillions of dollars of philanthropic money on the sidelines. that are yet to be deployed because they can't get to people in need. we need to fix that. heather: what you are saying is the opposite of what we hear from sanders for people to look at in terms of a tax plan. the greedy corporate ceos, cross the lives and power of workers and communities across america but as you know firsthand we can switch that around and use this for good because how much money have you been able to raise? any idea how many you have been able to help? >> we have been able to raise are given total $700,000 and over $1 million of my own money away on the internet.
