CNNW New Day Weekend With Victor Blackwell And Christi Paul September 22, 2019

Announcer this is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Good morning. We are so glad youre with us here. Several wellknown democrats are repeating their calls for the impeachment of President Trump this morning. This is the ukrainian whistleblower controversy is unfolding. While campaigning in iowa yesterday, senator Elizabeth Warren said the president believes he is above the law and Congress Must hold him accountable. Also congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez called out her own party for not impeaching President Trump. Last night she tweeted the following. We need to state here explicitly there is absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing by either joe biden or his son hunter biden. We are covering the angles, though, of this story. Yeah, all angles. Sarah westwood it at the hospital and Matthew Chance is in ukraine. Joe biden, is at the center of this. Is he calling for impeachment . He is stopping short of calling for impeachment but he is call for investigation. He said depending on what the house find investigating these allegations, then impeachment could be considered down the road. Keep that in mind this whole controversy centers on july 25th phone call President Trump had with the ukrainian president. They say he pressed the president to investigate the son of joe biden. Joe biden said the president is only attempt to go smear him because he is afraid he could lose to biden in 2020. Take a listen. He knows ill beat him like a drum and using the abusive power in every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me. This appears to be an overwhelming abuse of power. To get on the phone with a foreign leader who is looking for help from the United States and ask about me and imply things, if that is what happened. Reporter President Trump was on twitter yesterday defending himself, describing that phone call as a perfectly fine and routine conversation. House democrats still trying to get their hand on that whistleblower complaint, despite road blocks from the administration, but lawmakers this week would get some answers when acting intelligence director Joseph Mcguire appears before the House Committee to testify about this whole situation. There will be a lot of questions not just about the complaint ivert, bitself, but you how it been handled bit administration. This controversy is playing out in ukraine as well. Ukraines president has not given specific details of his phone call with President Trump, but the two leader are expected to meet this week, at the United Nations general assembly. Matthew chance is live in kiev, ukraine. Ed i think i know what the complaint was about and doesnt sound pressure but are we going to hear from president from ukraine himself on this at some point . Reporter certainly we have been putting in sort of hourly request to get some sort of official statement on this. The fact they havent gone bat to being or wont comment on this so far is, i think, you know, a testament to the fact they are struggling with walking this tight rope. They know very well that first of all, they have to preserve a Good Relationship with the United States, with the current u. S. President and with future u. S. President s. United states, you remember, ukraine is the most strategic important ally it has and important provider for academic and diplomatic support and military support as well in its ongoing battle with russianbacked rebels in the eastern part of the country. Released 250 Million Dollars for the great military establishment here. They dont want to jeopardize that relationship. So, you know, the kind of comments we are hearing have been very noncommittal. I think we may have sound of the Ukrainian Foreign minister making his point that pressure was not applied directly to the ukrainian leadership, but conversations were had. Take a listen to what he had to say. Translator our president has a right to talk to another president the way this conversation remains confidential. If someone believes that our president is being put under pressure, they have to prove it. I know what the conversation was about and i think there was no pressure. There was talk, conversations are different. Leader have the right to discuss any problems that exist. This conversation was long and friendly and a touched on a lot of questions, including those requiring serious answers. Reporter so, look. There is a sense that the some exasperation is how to characterize the mood here in kiev. The president of ukraine is pushing for a facetoface meeting with President Trump and getting one on the sidelines of the United Nations next week. He is scheduled to be in new york. It is overshadowed, like it or not, by this latest controversy. Thank you. The head of the elite revolutionary guard in iran will pursue any aggressor and seek to destroy them even if there was a limited attack on them. We hear this after the u. S. Announced its sending transitional troops to United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia. They say it would be defense in nature and primary focused on air missile defense. Nick paton walsh is in iran following these developments. Reporter it seems iran is outdoing hits regional competitors here. You heard those comments echoing what they heard that they would launch allout war if they attacked irans territory directly. Sort of a standard calculation. Iran likes to project that here. We heard today from president rouhani speaking on the anniversary marking the start of the iran and iraq war in the 80s and brutal and savage episode for the people of iran and made comments about the likely soon arrival, we dont know the number, of more american troops to bolster saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates defense. Here is what he said. Translator we announced to the world that the presence of Foreign Forces can be problematic and dangerous for the region for international waterways, for maritime security, for oil and energy security. But our path and our way is creating unity in coordination with the regions countries. Reporter he went on to say they will at the u. N. Be putting forward a peace initiative, a plan to get regional neighbors to Work Together and reduce tensions in the gulf. The United States and saudi arabia would say, well, its iran that was behind some of the there and they blame for the attack on the Saudi Oil Refinery will iran has consistently denied. The question is what comes next of this . The iranian president you saw him there and arriving there monday and his foreign minister is already there. They will be talking they say possibly to the Saudi Arabian neighbors or the neighbors too if they are willing to do so. They will not talk to the United States, period. They said unless donald trump gets back into the nuclear deal or drop the sanction that were lifted under it that he subsequently reimposed. Slim chance between washington and tehran but look what people have learned from this week. Frankly, donald trump talked about military retakliation and not done it. Now we have iran still going to United Nations jgeneral assembl in new york. Possible new calculations ahead as to what exactly the United States is willing to do in terms of intervening military to defend its allies here. Nick, we appreciate it. Thank you. You heard nick reference saudi arabia. A top saudi diplomat tells yn n cnn, it would be, quote, a act of war. The pentagon says they have intel that shows the drones and cruise missiles used in the attack were produced by iran. Cnns Nic Robertson sat with the saudi minister of estate for foreign affairs. Are we on the threshold of a military war . No with one topts resolve this peacefully and it has to be ab end to the irans aggressive policies. I dont see the difference of iran producing these weapons and waiting for an investigation to find out where they were fired prosecutefrom. Surely it amounts to the same thing. Eventually are you playing for time by saying we are investigating right now when you perhaps have a very strong inclination . We hold iran responsible because the missiles and the drones that were fired at saudi arabia are not only against but also from yemen were iranian built and iranian missiles so we hold them responsible. To launch an attack from your territory, if that is the case, puts us in a different category. Reporter what is the different category . This would be considered an act of war. We will have more on that a little bit later. New poll numbers show senator Elizabeth Warren is surging now neck and neck with Vice President joe biden in one key state.

Good morning to both of you as well. This new data coming out from our cnn Des Moines Register poll. You hit the nail on the head right there. The big takeaway there is there is a surging Elizabeth Warren in this race who is really challenging the dominance of joe biden in iowa and this is reflective of National Polls we have seen. We have been Elizabeth Warrens numbers going up and her favor ability going up in poll across the country but iowa is what we are digging in to today. Lets take a look at the broad jums. Warren 22 and biden 20 . Sanders is the next closest at 11. Really the it would have them right there making up that top tier. When you factor in the margin of error in this poll, this is neck and neck. They are right there. There is no clear leader. Very tight race there at the top. When you dig into those numbers a little bit you see that warren is taking a lot of support from bernie sander. When we look at liberal versus moderate democrats here in iowa, youll see that warren taking 34 of their support liberal sport and 10 of the moderate. Biden its flipped almost identical identically, right . Biden is showing support with moderate numbers. Take a look at these number. Biden is 35 to warren 12 and everybody else in single digits.
