now. >> announcer: and now, "shepard smith reporting" live from the fox news deck. >> shepard: as the president faces impeachment proceedings, today he did it again on live television. it happened in response to a question about what he wanted from the ukrainian leader. >> president trump: i would think if they were honest about it, a major investigation into the bidens, it is a simple answer. they should investigate the bidens. how does a company that is newly formed -- and by the way, likewise, china should start an investigation into the bidens. because what happened to china is just about as bad as what happened with ukraine. >> shepard: the president asked ukraine and china to investigate his political rival on television for all the world to hear. fox news knows of no investigation for any american law. it if it is determined that the president made that request, president trump may have violated federal law. it is illegal to ask a foreign national or foreign country for any political assistance. to our knowledge, no president before president trump in american history has probably asked in american history to investigate arrival. there is this important point. immediately before the president asked china to investigate, he reminded beijing about upcoming trade talks. >> president trump: we are looking at a lot of different things. china is coming in next week. we will have a meeting with them. i have a lot of options in china. if they don't do what we want, we have tremendous, tremendous power. >> shepard: the chairman of the house intelligence committee who the president says should be looked at for treason and forced to resign so that once again, the president has asked a foreign country to meddle in american democracy. >> the president of the united states encouraging of foreign country to interfere to help his campaign by investigating a rival is a fundamental breach of the president's oath of office. it endangers our elections and security. it ought to be condemned by any member of this body, democrats and republicans alike. >> shepard: as for the biden campaign, he said what he did was fully transparent and was carried out and front of the whole world. there is no known evidence to support president trump's conspiracy theories as we have reported here repeatedly. biden had this message for the president last night. >> let me make something clear to president trump and his hatchet men in his attacks against me. i'm not going anywhere. [cheers and applause] you are not going to destroy me. and you are not going to destroy my family. i don't care how much money you spent >> shepard: on capitol hill, the former envoy to the ukraine, testified in private in front of the house committees. he is an important figure in the whistleblower complaint. he reportedly traveled to kiev. the day after the call with the ukrainian leader to help officials maneuver president trump's request. "based on multiple readouts of these meetings, recounted to me by various u.s. officials, ambassadors reportedly provided advice to the leadership about how to navigate the demands at the president had made. the whistleblower also noted that he was one of the people who spoke with trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani as part of an effort to maintain the damage. he resigned abruptly after the whistleblower complaint remained public. today, he testifies as a private citizen. all of this as the clock ticks for the white house to had all documents related to his contacts with ukraine. if they don't get them, house democrats say tomorrow they will issue a subpoena. they will warn, if the white house doesn't hand them over, that would be considered obstruction of justice. four days, the president and his allies have been suggesting that the whistleblower or their sources got something wrong. that the president didn't really ask ukraine to invest his political rival, that the complaint is total affection. today, the president did exactly what he is accused of doing come at this time on live television. this time, he asked the totalitarian government of china to investigate as well. at the trade talk is scheduled for next week. we have team fox coverage with more on today's hearing. first the latest on president trump from the white house. >> ukraine and now china. the president is referencing is joe biden's son, hunter biden. he served on the advisory board of a pond that was looking to get an investment of a bank in china. that happened shortly after that the vice president and his sons traveled to china in 2013. 2013. the bidens say that they have done nothing wrong here and hunter biden did not profit specifically from that investment. the president talking about china reverted to ukraine and pushed ukraine to investigate the bidens. >> president trump: i would say that president -- if it were me, i would recommend that they start an investigation into the bidens. nobody has any doubt that they were not crooked. that was a crooked deal, 100%. he had no knowledge of energy. he did not know the first thing about it. all of a sudden, he is getting $50,000 a month plus a lot of other things. >> now with his administration in free fall, donald trump is flailing and down on national television, desperately clutching for conspiracy theories that have been debunked and dismissed by credible news organizations. the chair of the federal election commission had a statement in june that sad it is illegal for anyone running for office in the u.s. elections to elicit or receive anything of value from a foreign national." >> shepard: tesco >> an event in arizona, the vice president t into his predecessors saying that most want answers into his conduct in ukraine. >> the american people have a right to know whether or not the vice president of the united states or his family profit from his position. you look at the video. of vice president biden. and, you see that there was clearly a quid pro quo. >> they charge that biden -- hunter biden served on the board out. biden's defenders have pointed out that allies also pushed ukraine to fire this prosecutor over corruption concerns. he was asked about his role in all of this. last month he went to europe, he was in poland. he met with the president of ukraine. he was asked what he discussed with the president of ukraine. biden said that they focus entirely on addressing corruption of help and partnership from the europeans on this. shep. >> shepard: thank you. more now on what we are learning from the former ukrainian unvoiced testimony. live from capitol hill. hello. >> shep, he really matters because he is the connective tissue as that ukraine special envoy between the ukrainian leadership, the president, the july 25th phone call and also the president's personal attorney who is running his own investigation into the biden provides. he rapped on capitol hill five hours ago, he stands behind closed doors behind me in a secure facility purity is doing what is called "a transcribed interview." it doesn't matter if it's under oath or not, because there are severe penalties if the individual -- the witness lies or misleads congressional investigators. in the meantime, rudy giuliani has been on the defensive. he has been sharing text messages that he is against with reporters. i will draw your attention to one which was july 26th. it matters because it is one day after the phone call between the president and the ukrainian president. he says hi, mr. mayor. you may have heard the president has a great call with ukrainian president yesterday, exactly the right messages as we discussed." a short time ago we heard from some lawmakers outside the committee room. here is that democratic chairman as well as one of the republican lawmakers. >> nothing that he has said supports the narrative that you have been hearing on the democrats, nothing. i tell you once. i think that we have all been very impressed from mr. volker and the knowledge of the subjec subject. >> suggesting or urging foreign countries to interfere in our presidential election. it's an illustration of this president not learning anything from the two years of the robert mueller investigation. >> there is also another reporting deadline tomorrow on capitol hill. the overhyped intelligence and foreign affairs committee have asked the state department for the ukraine records. not sure of the deadline is in the morning, in the middle of the day or at midnight. the bottom line is that they would make in their letter, if there was not cooperation that deadline, he could lay the foundation for the drafting of an article of an impeachment that has to do specifically with obstruction of congress. >> shepard: thank you. breaking news now. the state department has just approved the sale of 150 javelin antitank missiles to ukraine. the price for those $39.2 million. remember, these javelin muscles were mentioned in the phone call between the president and the leader of ukraine, just before the president said -- 's words about needing a favor. remember, the russians invaded ukraine in that region of crimea, remove the crimean courts and government and replace them with russian courts and russian governments, and took over that region for their own. currently in the east of ukraine, there was an ongoing war between the ukrainian military and russian separatists. some suggest russian soldiers as well. we do not have proof of that. at this point, metaphorically at least, those tanks are aimed at kia. in kiev, the legitimate government has said that we need these antitank missiles so that the russians are not able to overtake our entire country. now, they will get them. much more ahead. we will have an update on bernie sanders and his heart procedure. but his health problems could mean for his 2020 presidential campaign if anything.

last month that they has been very healthy throughout his life without the exception of some acid reflux. he is dismissive of concerns that he might be too old to run for president. he has still got the cash to compete in a campaign even if it goes for several months after the primaries and caucuses begin. which means that questions about the almost 17% support that he is pulling in the average

[indistinct speech] >> investigate joe biden today? >> [indistinct speech] on camera. how is that blowing a hole in that argument? >> again, with regards to -- i don't want to get into all of the answers of questions with regard to the quid pro quo allegations that have been leveled. there is a lot of evidence of the fact that people knew on both sides, very clearly, about the united states side and the ukraine side that there was no connection -- there was no linkage between the two. ukraine did not even know that the money was even being held up at that time. it was crystal clear guidance that was being provided on both sides, u.s. and ukraine, the readouts from the july 25th call on both sides. but again, i hesitate to get into all of the subsidence, at the ends and outs and detail before the interview finishes this evening. once this is over i would be happy. [indistinct speech] >> during the fact -- do you think [indistinct speech] >> shepard: representative lee zeldin of the state of new york. new york's first district answering questions. asking, "did he speak to the central allegation?" which is president trump asking the president of ukraine to begin an investigation on his political rival. the congressman told that he was not going to speak of the specifics of that. he went on to say on the matter of a quid pro quo, he said there is no quid pro quo. whatever was said in the testimony today through a hole in that allegation. as the congress and mohs, a quid pro quo is not required. at the mere asking of a foreign entity, a foreign government, for a leader, any foreign entity to give assistance in a political campaign is illegal. it is potentially unlawful, and certainly improper. that is the center of the allegation. that president trump's team has said that the person who did the whistle-blowing or that person's sources had screwed things up and the president did not really ask for assistance in his campaign by asking for the ukrainian's opening an investigation into his political rile rival. this is yesterday's news because today president trump did exactly what he is accused of doing on the phone, but he did it on live television. yes the chinese, a totalitarian and authoritative government to begin an investigation on his political rival and reiterated that ukraine investigate his political rival. this happened not on the phone, but on tv. it ended up somewhere around 100 points. the news continues now. "your world" with neil cavuto continues next on fox news. >> neil: they are piling on as president trump is trying to move on. welcome everybody, i'm neil cavuto. the president of the villages in florida -- democrats in washington called the first witness in the probe that many will say will lead to the president once and for all. at the white house on how the president's handling at all. blake. >> president trump calling for not one but two investigations now into joe and hunter biden. not only should ukraine investigate the two, but also
