wavering on the middle east. the vp kamala harris once the u.s. to get tougher on israel as anti-israel protest pop up seemingly everywhere across the country. good morning, everywhere it is friday and you almost made it. dana is off today, i'm bill hemmer live in new york and our friend is here with us today. >> this is amer "america's news" but i am glad that i get to join you at 5:00 a.m. the one you used to do it. you would say it is friday. spilling your client at that. >> and wendy examined the mic exemption pro-palestinian shutting down traffic in new york and los angeles. we have also seen them vandalize during hanukkah. some protesters in the palestinian flags. >> bill: meanwhile on the college campuses as we have seen the eruption of anti-israel protest. some have turned violent. meanwhile the vice president

kamala harris pushing the president to get tougher on israel and show more sympathy for palestinians in places like the gaza strip. peter doocy asked john kirby about that yesterday. >> john, it is leaked that the vice president is upset with the president about gaza? >> that is great question. >> you have seen officially on the record refute the basic premise of the story that there is some sort of daylight between the last president and the president. the president is comfortable and confident that vice president here as he has a real teammate. and a significant leader who understands the foreign policy direction that he's trying to take this country. >> bill: you have that and jacqui heinrich leading coverage from the north lawn. this is a very interesting back-and-forth i would suggest, what would you here today? >> good morning to you, bill, the officials denied there is

any daylight between biden and harris to eradicate hamas and moreover if not giving advice to the president, that would be a bigger story. but the news of this private push from the vp, for biden on white house officials to show more public concern for palestinians comes as the white house is also denying that national security advisor jake sullivan told israel they need to end their high intensity kinetic campaign with gaza in weeks not months. officials said that is not true. so live and attach no timeline to these talks and probably the u.s. has not been given direction to his rope asking questions and offering advice. but said this morning the u.s. expects that a lower intensity phase will come in the future and the u.s. is deeply involved in the discussion about the timing and conditions. >> what i heard him go on to say is the fight against hamas will take months. of course, we agree with that, but there will be a transition

to another phase of this war, one that is focused and more precise ways in targeting the leadership and intelligence driven operations that continues to deal with the ongoing threat that hamas poses. >> republican critics sounded off. >> this is pinball diplomacy that counts from one pumper to the next, depending on how the polls smack look. we are confusing the situation to call for a timeline to actually be dictating in the media of when things would end and when they would not to telegraph that to hamas. >> nikki haley slammed that. the president saying this is, "why none of our enemies spirits because they see what biden does become either your friend or not" appeared earlier this week, the president put it in his own words. >> do you want israel to scale back with gaza at the end of the year? tone it down and moved to a

lower -- >> we want to be focused on howw to save civilian lives, not stop going after hamas but be more careful. >> there was a lot of reaction to the president's remarks earlier this week that israel could be losing international support over what he called indiscriminate bombing in gaza. >> bill: jacqui heinrich from the white house leading us off. >> shannon: white house attorney covering up hunter biden testifying behind closed doors after whistle-blowers alleged she obstructed the federal investigation. about republican sake getting her to answer most questions wa. live at the justice department, good morning, david spent. >> good morning to you, republican sent that hearing room a closed-door hearing say former assistant u.s. attorney leslie wolf chose to stay quiet for most of the time she was behind closed doors several hours and answer questions but not in the detail they would

have liked to. she recently left the justice department and sources tell us, shannon and bill, she did so on her own terms and this was planned for a new opportunity. she was however helping to oversee the tax investigation into the president's son. she worked for delaware u.s. attorney david who is the special counsel and irs gary shapley said before congress in over the summer that slow walked aspects of the investigation and she nixed a plan to search a guest house on the president's delaware property where hunter stayed telling congressional staff that she said, "the decision was whether the juice was worth the squeeze." as for her testimony yesterday, watch. mrs. leslie with refused to answer our questions and we had a number of exhibits where she sent an email and receiving the email and she refused to answer just about every question that

we had. again, democrats say she didn't answer much because she was not involved in any nefarious plot to cover up for the president's son. >> she has not even a government employee anymore, but they are making her go through these motions because still in the middle of the desperate search to find something that can justify the impeachment query they launched yesterday. but they will keep coming up with dry holes. >> sources familiar said the committee is in talks, productive talks with the president's brother james biden who is cooperative through his attorney and is next on the list for questions behind closed doors. back to you. >> shannon: thanks, david spunt, thank you. >> bill: good morning to you. i just listen to that, right, it jordan said they shot a bunch of blanks. ivy said it was a waste of time so both are concluding essentially it was wasted time but for different reasons. how do you see it?

>> it doesn't seem like a waste of time from my perspective, ms. wolfe exposed to a certain degree but we don't know how much. but the whistle-blowers who alleged that hunter biden had defrauded the government and not that there was a certain amount of exposure he should face with conspicuous fashion we thought to be true but these charges coming out of california against hunter biden probably wouldn't have happened in the absence of that testimony. a certain amount of credibility that mr. shapely has appeared i wouldn't defer to him. hunter biden is attempting to help his father who was facing congressional investigation for obstructing congress by refusing to abide by congressional subpoena. you are not helping hunter! you are making things a little bit worse. hunter biden is facing charges now that are very easy to convict on. this is an open and shut case and no extenuating circumstances that say, i should have paid $1.4 million in taxes but

instead i spent on fast cars, fancy clothes and women. that gets a conviction and profound conundrum to his father. >> shannon: you have written about this in your piece and this will put the present in a terrible position and he will be faced with a horrible choice is the least agonizing only involve the life and death of his political career. biden is the one person to spare his only surviving son. the consequences of his actions. if it isn't already the temptation to poll the trigger, it will be overwhelming but the consequences of doing so would be disastrous. is that why does press secretary said the first time this question was asked months ago he will not pardon his son? >> it is a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. if i was a father i would not hesitate to pull that trigger and i don't know any further that wooden pier there were consequences for it if he were to pardon his son. pulling has suggested as early as october and worse now and

americans the majority of americans believe that he was in some fashion or malfeasance. if he was to pardon his own son, he would have to pardon himself the political consequences would be severe. if he were to pardon him and preside over his own son's prosecution, conviction and possible imprisonment, what does that due to his political image? he presented himself in 2020 is this warm, soft glowing ball of empathy. he would save his own political skin and allow his son to suffer these consequences? that is the sort of thing. >> bill: very intriguing answer in democrats may or may not do on behalf of the president. what do house republicans do in 2024? how do you see the strategy playing out? >> that is a very good question when it comes to impeachment. first of all, i don't know if the votes are there to pull the trigger on impeachment conviction and we will send it to the senate. but it would be dead on arrival. >> bill: it could make the headlines. >> that should be the whole point of the exercise to issue

subpoenas and force them. but the votes aren't there now. they could be later. it is something of a fishing out exercise which is a danger. republicans should understand that they are imperiling their own narrative by going out seeking a fact-finding investigation without having the facts in front of them. however, the amount of smoke around this with joe biden at the situation suggests there is more to find. we don't know what could be there yet. they don't have it and they may never have it. but how can you not open an investigation given the circumstances they are confronted with? something is being hidden here. >> bill: more to talk about soon, thank you, nice to see you in the studio, thank you. christmas travel for millions. get ready come america. it starts this weekend just as a powerful storm targets these closed. shannon, we are tracking that. >> shannon: plus, getting a slap on the wrist in the nation's capital for the most violent crimes. how a controversial d.c. law and armed controversy. >> bill: all aboard and

our deputies we don't have enough deputies working over time and they are tired of working overtime. of course, they would like to have more time. >> shannon: how hard is it to hire her? when people have extreme pressures on them in these jobs? >> yeah, it is a little difficult. i don't have the man manpower. right now, we have private companies like housing immigrants and depending on the money. much more money than we pay. so we lose those deputies to work over there. and that is one of the reasons we have problems. of course, vote patrol have their own problems over there. but we need more help from the federal government. maybe that would help a lot to come up but we haven't had any help from the federal government. >> shannon: tomko mike let me ask about this, you heard a

constituents and we are doing the best we can, but we also have immigrants as a problem. it's not that i don't want to work the immigration deal. but like i said before, persons that are crossing, runaway, they are criminals. so that is part of my job that i have to know who is coming through here and what is going up north. my deputies are working on the highways and chasing vehicles with illegal aliens and back and forth and so forth. it takes a lot of time from us to do a regular job, which is to protect our community and county. i'm losing the manpower that i'm supposed to have. >> shannon: sheriff, god bless you and the men and women in uniform doing exceptionally difficult job. we appreciate you and your time today. >> thank you very much. >> bill: we have been on this thing for three years, right, with no let up inside. you know in washington, d.c., and will come up in your program
