>> good. >> strain's fraternity brothers filed a missing persons report the next morning. we have emergency responders and volunteers all searching for strain on the ground, in the river and in the skies. police say no sign of foul play at this point. still a missing persons investigation. there was people from social media searching for strain on sunday and they found his bank card by a riverbank. so far that's the only clue, bill. >> bill: tough stuff. madison, thank you. we'll stay on it in the southeast. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: bill, two cincinnati bengals player become girl dads on the same day at the same hospital. the wives of linebacker logan wilson and evan mcphearson giving birth to baby girls. they are each players' first child. the families sharing photos on social media. you did research. >> bill: doing a little

research. i will share it with our virus. i was born at good samaritan hospital in cincinnati in 1994. >> dana: what a day. thank god. >> bill: what hospital they were born? i said born at which hospital? they said the cincinnati bengals are born at the zoo, which is true, not in this case. >> dana: congratulations to them. let's get back to the news. >> mr. bobulinski do you have anything new to tell the committee today? >> dana: biden family business dealings under review in a house oversight hearing about to get underway. one of the key witnesses tony bobulinski arrived moments ago as you saw. welcome to ooh new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: here we go. a hot hour. house oversight committee inviting hunter biden to testify today. he has declined as they launch the next phase of their impeachment inquiry. republicans examining claims of

influence peddling by biden family going on for a while now. tied to allegations of joe biden abusing his power in public office. that's the accusation. hunter biden declined the chance to give his side of the story publicly as he had previously requested. >> dana: two of the people you will hear from jason galanis, a convicted felon. he faced charges on federal fraud appearing remotely from jail today and then there is tony bobulinski, the name you might be more familiar with. hunter's ex business partner previously testified that president biden enabled hunter to sell access to america's add veer source. he says the impeachment inquiry last uncovered plenty of evidence pointing toward corruption. >> this hearing was an opportunity for hunter biden to come before this hearing with tony bobulinski, devon archer and mr. galanis of how they had

inconsistent statements sworn under oath. of course, the biden family are the only ones that are saying opposite of what the i.r.s. whistleblower said. it is pretty -- pretty upfront that someone is lying. hunter biden, james biden, or is it all the other witnesses? if you are lying before congress, you need to be held accountable. >> bill: david spunt begins our coverage now live from the hill with a preview. good morning to you, david. >> hi, bill. so far no sign of the president's son. he has surprised us in the past. we actually saw a black s.u.v. with secret service outside and thought wait is hunter coming? turned out to be secretary jennifer granholm. we have to remember the democrats' witness. they can bring someone bringing lev parnas a former rudy giuliani associate who also served time, a brief amount of time, behind bars and he is

expected to talk about trump family influence peddling today as the democratic witness. here he is. i don't know if you heard he is here to tell the truth. also not here today but invited is devon archer, a long-time friend of hunter biden and the biden family. ex-friend because he has come out and spoken against hunter biden lately. the attorney said they got official notification of the hearing this week. he won't be here. inside the room behind me there are four seats, there will be two witnesses in person, tony bobulinski and lev parnas with totally opposite agendas and the empty seat with the empty name plate hunter biden. >> bill: stand by there. we shall here. back to you momentarily. >> dana: joining us now is fox news contributor jason chaffetz.

congressman comer, the chairman, has this from his opening statement. the scam is simple. the biden family promises they can make a foreign partner's problems go away by engaging with the u.s. government. done over and over again. the biden family promises joe's power, joe biden shows up and millions of dollars come into the biden pockets. joe biden is the biden family closer. that's his message. is it landing? what can they do today to plow any new ground? >> you've got people who have firsthand knowledge of that. the president has denied when he was vice president that he even had a discussion with these things. these two people, one testifying from jail jason galanis and then the other one, tony bobulinski, are saying i was there in person. i had direct communication with him. which flies directly in the face of what joe biden and hunter biden and jim biden have always told us, they were never involved. yet there are receipts by the

millions of dollars flowing into the biden bank accounts. so they've got some juice behind what they are saying. >> bill: he will call jim biden a liar. looking at some of what he is about to say and the "wall street journal" had some of his opening statement. jason, you used to do this for a living and if it is as dana describes a he said/she said, how do you guarantee a hearing is successful? >> well, you just pursue the facts. i don't understand why the committee didn't issue a subpoena to hunter biden. and a subpoena to devon archer and why they think it is optional. if you are called to testify before congress, i didn't think it was an optional exercise. but you have to get at the truth. this is just but one cog in a long series of investigations and depositions and testimony in order to get to the truth. >> dana: jason, what do you think the republicans should do at this point when it comes to

impeachment? they're having this hearing today. about to go into recess for another two weeks. the republican nominee is set. president biden, do they think one, either persuade anybody that don't already believe that biden is corrupt? i wonder about the time they're taking to do these things. >> well, the reason we're having to redo this is because hunter biden failed to show last time. that's why they have to do it a second time. and look, there are core questions. i would love to have had them ask when you went to mexico, hunter biden, why did you bring jeff, your business partner, on air force two? why was that allowed to happen? why was there millions of dollars coming from this russian oligarch and again you will hear testimony coming here there was direct interaction from joe biden. all of these things. why are there millions of dollars flowing into the biden's bank accounts? did you get a defensive briefing

that was coming from the f.b.i. or somebody else, is secret service warning you of these types of things? there are so many questions and so many to be answered and that's what you do when you pursue the truth. it's what they do in this country. >> bill: let us know when something is significant and we'll bring it to our viewers, okay? stand by. james comer is in his chair and about to get underway. >> dana: they start on time. you have to admire it. >> bill: while that's about to get underway. president biden is under scrutiny by house republicans. he almost certain -- his almost certain challenger is facing legal and financial troubles of his own. former president trump has five days to secure a $454 million bond in the new york civil fraud against him. has there ever been a bond this high in american legal history? do we know that answer? >> we don't have the exact answer for that, bill.

it seems no. potentially the reason for that is critics would say because there hasn't been a fraud as high as this, a fraud that the judge engoron found. that's the reason critics say this bond is that high. despite that the former president now defending his business because the clock is ticking down to his potentially losing a lot of it. he faces a deadline in five days. next monday to come up with that $454 million bond or have his assets seized by new york attorney general. half a billion bond covers the judgment imposed by judge engoron last month after he ruled that trump and his company committed years of fraud from illegally inflating their assets to get better terms on loans. >> we're fighting it out. we have a lot of cash and a great company. they want to take it away or at least take the cash element away. billions of dollars in value, billions of dollars in properties, but they would like to take the cash away so i can't

use it on the campaign. >> the former president is asking the appeals court to stay the penalty until his appeals are exhausted and accuses attorney general james of prosecuting him for political reasons. lawyers we talked to say she is acting appropriately under the law which says when judge engoron issued the civil fraud penalty james by law has no choice other than to go after trump's assets to pay that penalty. >> there is nothing political about it. this is a valid judgment entered by a court with jurisdiction over the matter and she is proceeding in the routine course in seeking enforcement. >> experts say if mr. trump cannot come with the cash he can declare bankruptcy. trump's atlanta city hotels and resorts declared bankruptcy in the late 90s and early 2000s to. that was 15 years ago. >> bill: monday will be a big day. >> see what happens unless the

appeals court stays that. that is mr. trump's hope. now we'll see if it happens. if not, letitia james and the legal process will start working on potentially seizing his assets. >> bill: you could find yourself outside trump tower or bedminster. nice to sigh, eric shawn, thank you. >> the u.s./mexico border is no longer that border. it is the u.s. world border. people from all over the world are exploiting the border here. >> dana: texas law enforcement facing new challenges after a border security law is put on hold. is the legal whiplash making the chaos worse? texas lieutenant governor dan patrick is next. >> bill: a house panel holding a hearing on the biden family business dealings. the deposition is done, what will the questions be that came from the deposition? we'll bring you the news as it happens on the hill. only tylenol rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. and now, get max strength topical pain relief

>> bill: we're watching the hearing now. sement comer delivering his opening statement and get into questions and see what tony bobulinski has to say after that. he is probably the most recognizable figure at the table because hunter biden is not there. so stand by. we'll bring you headlines from inside the hearing room coming up in moments right here. >> dana: 45 minutes from now the border stand-off between texas and the biden administration goes before an appeals court. they put the state's immigration law on hold again last night. it was hours after the supreme court ruled it can go forward as a legal process plays out. texas lieutenant governor dan patrick is here. sir, did you anticipate that or was that news to you? >> it was news to me. you know, dana and bill, you are supposed to take whiplash cases to court, not get whiplash from the court. as the author of the bill and

along with senator charles perry, we are very focused on this bill. we felt very good about the 6-three vote yesterday at the supreme court and where it will end back up. no, we were surprised by this, dana. on march 2nd there was a three-judge panel from the fifth circuit. a biden appointee, bush appointee and trump appointee. they voted 2-one to let it become law. then the supreme court said no, it can't become law on monday and within 24 hours supreme court said yes, it can become law and a few hours later last night a different three-judge panel, biden, trump and bush appointee voted 2-one it can't become law. reversing what the supreme court said. the hearings as you said start in 40, 45 minutes and whoever loses this hearing will appeal it to the full fifth circuit. whoever loses that hearing will go back to the supreme court and that's where it was always going to end up and we feel very good about that ruling yesterday 6-three going back to the

supreme court. >> dana: are we talking weeks or months before we get a final decision by the supreme court? >> well, obviously i can't speak for the courts but the fifth circuit is moving very quickly. i've been up all night pretty much and i'm sure the lawyers preparing for attorney general paxton's team and biden administration were burning the midnight oil as well. so i think the decision from the fifth circuit will not take that long, is that a month, month and a half, i can't tell you. the supreme court will then decide. it will be -- i think it will be sooner than later. how much sooner i don't know. >> dana: overnight i saw this morning mexico ministry of foreign affairs said they don't have responsibility to take back anybody who is not from mexico saying mexico rejects any measure that allows state or local authorities to exercise immigration control and to arrest and return nationals or foreigners to mexican territory. what do you say to that? >> i say to that we're the

biggest trading partner. be careful what you say, mexico. we had a program stopping trucks crossing the border several months ago or last year actually and they didn't like that and when trump becomes president, which i believe he will and close the border on day one, he will put tariffs on their goods if they act in that way. look, i have to defend texans and americans. i can't care what the president of mexico says. our law that we wrote was about invasion. the supreme court has said only the united states border patrol can handle the border and take care of the border unless we're being invaded. we're being invaded by land, sea and air as we found out about the drones flying over texas. we're being invaded. people are dying and being killed. dying from fentanyl. drunk drivers. you name it. it is organized and cartels are organizing it for american citizens to pick up people

across the border. we're being invaded. the supreme court their ruling yesterday, can't speak for them. we don't know what the final decision, the bill i wrote makes me feel it is sound and constitutional. we are being invaded and everybody in america knows it. >> dana: we're looking at some of this right here. a quick answer. the biden administration said they were going to send national guardsmen to cut the wire. they haven't done that. why do you think that? >> i was there that day when they came down. they didn't show up and we have more wire than wire cutters. i was ready to put it back together, national guard standing by and by the way, dana, on that shelby park tells you how crazy the biden administration again. we have it down to ten people a day. we can secure the border. get out of our way, joe biden, start doing your job. people are dying because of your border policies. we've had it. >> dana: dan patrick.

thank you for getting on the show with us today. >> thank you. >> bill: 21 past the hour from texas to california. ice officers in l.a. tracking down suspected drug traffickers and bill melugin was with them for a ride along. good morning to you. what did you learn from this exclusive report in l.a.? >> as you know, california is the sanctuary state. l.a. is a sanctuary city. ice says local authorities are barred from cooperating with them when they target the dangerous criminal aliens and we embedded with ice as they removed three convicted felons off l.a. streets. >> it's 4:00 a.m. in los angeles and this team of ice deportation officers is briefing on their targets for the day. drug traffickers with lengthy criminal histories. the first target a mexican woman previously convicted of trafficking opioids in l.a. >> she was selling these opioids from a shop in one of the local

areas. >> after surveilling the area she is spotted leaving her home in a pickup truck. ice officers pull the woman over and arrest her. ice says she is a convicted felon already deported from the u.s. four times. during her intake ice found thousands of dollars in cash on her. >> convicted felon is behind me being processed and booked right now. ice tells us because of her criminal history she can be deported as soon as tonight. moments later ice officers bring in another convicted felon they have just arrested, a mexican man with convictions for trafficking meth and domestic violence. >> due to sanctuary policies our detainers aren't being honored. it is frustrating. >> do you have any presence at the jail whatsoever? >> no. >> ice blames the sanctuary policies for having to arrest this third felon of the day previously convicted of trafficking meth and being a felon in possession of a gun. ice says he was released without

notice after local authorities ignored their request to hold him. >> sanctuary policies? >> detainers not honored. >> their l.a. officers arrested over 3,000 criminal non-citizens in fiscal year 2023 including 249 suspected gang members. with limited manpower their priority is public safety threats. >> sex offenders, child molesters, drug traffickers. that misconception we're out there indiscriminately conducting raids at checkpoints is simply far from the truth. >> ice says they will seek to deportal of the felons they arrested during the ride along. they sometimes feel like a hamster in a wheel because they are frequently arresting people who have sometimes already been deported, sometimes deported multiple times. send it back to you. >> bill: bill melugin on the streets of los angeles. thank you. >> you are in luck, mr.?

>> bond, james bond. >> bill: always good drama over this. the search for the next oo7 might be over. here we go now. there is a report, dana, that says aaron taylor-johnson has been offered the iconic role as james bond and you say who is he? >> dana: i do say that? >> bill: the bulletrain actor ready to sign on the dotted line. last year he was hedging on his answer. daniel craig led the franchise for 15 years. it's one of the biggest jobs in all of movies all over the world. >> dana: he looks like a good one. i wonder if he will get a hair cut to play the role. he will have to have a nice, clean shave and haircut. >> bill: three on top. one on the side? >> dana: maybe, i don't know. >> bill: that will be the next hemmer celebrity news. 25 past. >> dana: president biden is on the campaign trail heading to

another battleground state today. can he reverse the gains that president trump appears to be making with minority voters? he will give it a shot. time. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals ira, and silver brochures. with rosland, there are no hassles, no gimmicks, and our shipping is fast and reliable. remember. keep it simple. make gold your new standard. call rosland capital today at 800-630-8900,

>> bill: so we have an answer now from the judge temporary on daniel penny. court has been adjourned now. there you see the marine walking out. the judge has set a trial date for the 8th of october. keep in mind it's 2024. this happened in may of 2023. so you got a year and a half before you get a trial. that marine facing up to 19 years in jail for the choking incident of a homeless man. that homeless man died on the new york city subway. that's update as court clears out in downtown, manhattan. >> what we're seeing is, you know, the instability in haiti, the likelihood of migration. we recently had an intercept on

february 29th at sebastian inlet. officers intercepted a vote coming in with 25 haitian migrants. >> dana: gang related violence sending haiti into chaos. 1,000 americans remain trapped there and growing concern over a potential surge of haitian migrants coming to the united states is taking hold. we're on haiti's border with the dominican republic. are they trying to get into the d.r.? >> good morning. they have not seen the kind of exodus that could be expected, at least not yet. they are preparing for it just asuch as florida is. there have been 400 americans, about, that have left atey in the last three weeks through this major border crossing and still 1,000 americans stranded in haiti and it has been four days since the state department's one and only charter rescue flight took off with 30 americans on board. republican florida congressman

cory mills has led two rescue appear rations on his own rescuing 23 americans from haiti. state department says it is working on safe evacuation options in port-au-prince. helicopter rescues seem to be the preferred method since gangs control the capital's airport. the kidnapping threat of americans is rising as 200 gangs are vying for power in haiti's capital. rival gangs took to the streets of port-au-prince in demonstrations including haiti's top gang leader barbecue. the humanitarian crisis is worsening. no elected officials are in charge and there is skepticism in gangs will recognize efforts to start a new government. >> secretary general continues to follow this situation with great concern. he reiterates his call on all haitian stakeholders to put aside their differences and take immediate action on the implementation of the

transitional governance arrangements. >> haiti's destiny is part any of these groups. not in the white house or u.n. supreme court council. haiti's destiny is in the palace. >> you are looking at the border wall in the dominican republic. they are continuing their deportations despite the fact the u.n. has called on them to stop deportation of haitians at least during this crisis. there are some 4,000 inmates that have been freed from prisons in haiti. >> dana: thanks for bringing us the story. >> bill: president biden campaigns in texas today doing a fundraiser there a day after he went to arizona and also nevada the day before that. his campaign is working to court latino voters critical in 2020 as polls show he has a lot of work to do. marc thiessen is here. good morning. i want to talk about latinos and african-americans. the numbers in some of the polling are suggesting.

this is what our voter analysis showed in 2020. he won latinos by a whopping 30 points, right? 63-35. today some polling suggests that is a seven-point difference, marc. in addition now you have african-americans. biden won with 83% of the vote and polling suggests he has 55% of the vote, a difference of 28%. that's substantial. if these numbers are right, joe biden does not get a second term. tell me i'm wrong. >> you are 100% right. look, joe biden is the most unpopular president in the history of our country going back to harry truman since polling began. he is losing ground with every demographic group. it makes sense he is losing ground with blacks and hispanics as well. they are experiencing the same watching the same foreign policy disasters as the rest of the country.

it makes sense. this is the problem they face is that they need more hispanic and black votes going into the 2024 election because the republican party has displaced the democrats as the party of the working class. the democrats have become a coalition of coast ali leitz and minorities and if you lose that working class vote you have to increase your margin with black and hispanic voters and they are doing the opposite. they are losing ground with those voters and they are stuck because every time they go further left to pander to the co coastal elites. the more though try to pander to the white liberal elites in the major coast the more they drive away hispanic and black voters. >> bill: they won't like what i'm about to show them now in the white house. ann came out with some whoppers overnight.

disapproval number for joe biden is at 57%. that's a new high for this poll, okay? suburban women at 46%. how does that shake down come november? another one, trump favorability is now at 46% in their poll, which is up eight points since march of last year. your take on that, marc. >> so as i was describing the change in the party. republican party has been the party of the working class. they started losing suburban women with trump but gaining working class voters and they had a super majority of the minority groupings. if he starts losing with suburban women on top of losing the working class and minority voters are turning on him he is toast. and if you lose a segment of the electorate you have to double down on the other segments and they are losing ground everywhere. >> bill: more numbers to come as

we go through it. nice to sigh. back to the house right now. tony bobulinski is in his chair. >> dana: he has been sworn in and started his opening statement. >> hear the truth. the truth involving the deep corruption of the biden family including the malfeasance of the sitting president of the united states might be raw and unpleasant the american people must here it. you presented with two narratives in this investigation. a false one pushed by joe biden, a serial liar and fabulous now under this impeachment investigation, his brother, jim biden, a 75-year-old man who can't keep his lies straight including under oath and his son, hunter biden, a chronic drug addict facing two indictments with 12 counts. you have before you the truth confirmed by multiple bide evan family business partners over many years and backed up by mountains of evidence including text messages, emails, documents, recordings. i'm the only biden family business partner with an

impeccable military record. i'm grateful this country has given me the freedom to be successful. i worked hard to become independently wealthy and taken several businesses public. sold multiple businesses to some of the world's best private equity firms. my business success is why they sought me out. however, what they have done is repugnant to me. i'm here today because i'm a patriot and a truth teller. we keep hearing from certain corners that our democracy is at risk and democracy is on the ballot in 2024. yet the same people preaching this mantra know better and continue to lie directly to the american people without hesitation and remorse. dan goldman and jamie raskin, both lawyers and mr. goldman a former prosecutor from new york will continue to lie today in this hearing and go straight to the media to tell more lies. hunter biden's defense attorney abby low well weaponizes letters to congress to try to smear my name. the cold hard facts in an

attempt to save his powerfully connected client and his father. i challenge mr. lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. prior to my successful business career i was an officer in the united states navy. navy elite power training command and later served as the command chief technology officer. >> i have apologize for the disruption from -- many asupposed to say it's my time. mr. raskin? mr. bobulinski, please come to order. mr. bobulinski, please proceed. please proceed. i apologize for the disruption from the minority. >> mr. chairman, to save us time he called members of this committee liars and i want to know whether the order and decorum requirements apply to witnesses appearing before the committee.

does it apply or does it not? >> should i address -- i don't -- >> there the decorum from the members. we have asked for that. no language i'm aware of pertaining to a witness. so don't -- make sure we didn't waste any of his time on the opening statement. mr. bobulinski, i'm sorry for the disruption. please continue. >> i want to restate make sure the american people hear all these facts. abby low well weaponizes letters to congress to smear my name and misstate the facts in an attempt to save his client and his father. i challenge mr. lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. prior to my successful business

career i was an officer for over six years in the united states navy's elite naval nuclear power training command as a decorated master training specialist and later served as the chief technology officer where i held security clearance from the department of energy and nsa. when i left nuclear power training command i was the number one ranked input officers in the command and i jumped into the business world and public markets. i have made a few contributions over the years to democrats such as representative rho khanna. i hope he shows up today. i don't see him. he sits on the democratic side of the oversight committee. i'm not a political person. i come from a family with a long history of distinguished service in our nation's military including my father, both my grandfathers and my brother all of whom were willing to sacrifice their lives for this great country. my sister serves our military vets for two decades at the veterans administration. we've lived our life as a family in service to this great

country. i hope the american people will pay close attention to this hearing. i also hope they will understand that some members of this committee will engage in absurd attacks and efforts to try to deflect attention from the facts and i will present today by questioning my integrity and my patriotic duty. you may see me speak passionately at this hearing for good reason. not only was i willing to die for this country. every member of my family was willing to die for this country. i want to be crystal clear from my direct personal experience and what i've learned it is clear to me that joe biden was the brand being sold by the biden family. his family's foreign influence peddling operation from china and ukraine and elsewhere sold out foreign actors to gain access to joe biden and the united states government. joe biden was more than a participant and a beneficiary of the family's business. he was an active, aware enabler

who met with business associates such as myself to further the business despite trying to maintain plausible deniability. i ask the question. if there is no evidence of corruption here today. if joe's conduct and the conduct of his family were legal and proper, why are they so dishonest about it? not just slight misrepresentations of fact but deep untruths about the entire corrupt enterprise. hunter biden gave his transcribed interview on february 28th and lied throughout his testimony. here is just one example of hunter's perjury. he lied to the committee on important details concerning his money demands and threats to cfc in text messages on july 30th and 31st, 2017. leveraged his father's next to him in the text to strong arm cfc to paying hunter immediately. jim biden lied extensively

throughout his transcribed interview on february 21st and perjured himself. an example of that on page 100 of his transcript jim is asked specifically do you recall having a meeting with hunter biden, tony bobulinski and joe biden? jim's response, absolutely not. the committee was so shocked by his perjury that they asked him the same question multiple times. each time he denied meeting with me and joe biden. after the committee showed him text messages confirming that i met with joe biden, hunter biden, and jim biden at the beverly hilton in may 2017. jim biden still denied that meeting took place. hunter biden in his own transcribed interview confirmed that that meeting took place. hunter confirmed his uncle perjured himself in front of this committee. i'm simply here to tell the truth to the american people and

i hope each and every one of you, congressmen and women give me the opportunity to do that instead of focusing on russia or smearing my family's name or focusing on facts that are irrelevant today. i yield back. >> thank you. >> parliamentary inquiry. two points. one is i believe mr. bobulinski went over two minutes and 14 seconds. >> we will give mr. parnas equal time. >> we now have a witness appearing remotely. i thought that witnesses were required to appear in person under the rules adopted by the majority at the beginning of the congress and do we have a new practice with respect to that rule? because i know that members on our side were denied the ability to participate in hearings that were conducted in florida and mississippi and alabama. we wanted to participate by zoom. >> i will answer that. it requires to be able to testify remotely requires a letter from me and to the

approval from the majority leader which we have. i will enter that letter into the record without objection. >> i hope we'll extend the same courtesy to members of this committee when they can't get to a hearing as in mississippi or florida. thank you. >> state your point. >> mr. chairman, mr. bobulinski just referred to text messages that i believe he is referring to photos of a blackberry. >> what is your parliamentary inquiry. state your parliamentary inquiry. we have a very important hearing here and don't have time for stunts. what's the inquiry? >> not a stunt. i'm asking that mr. bobulinski. >> you don't have a parliamentary inquiry. we recognize mr. parnas for equal time. chair recognizes mr. parnas. >> does the committee have the text messages. >> we don't have time for games by democrats today. >> we have important witnesses

here. this is a credible >> i'm asking a question about -- >> you asked for a parliamentary inquiry. you will have minutes when it's your time to speak. mr. parnas the chair recognizes for equal time that mr. bobulinski had, seven minutes. >> thank you. hello. honorable members of congress, chairman comer, ranking member raskin. i'm humble and thankful to show up before you today. i came to the united states from ukraine in 1976 when it was still the former soviet union. my mother and father and sister and i had left the soviet union escaping anti-semitism and persecution. while en route to israel my sister and i had an opportunity. we won a u.s. green card lottery. my family came here with literally no more than shirts on our back and hopes of rebuilding our lives in the land of freedom. i say this to you because i love

this country. from shortly after my arrest on october 9, 2019, to now, i have been trying to share the truth with you. the american people have been lied to by donald trump, rudy giuliani and various cohorts of individuals in government and media positions. they created falsehoods to serve their own interests knowing it would undermine the strength of our nation. from november 2018 to october 2019 i was a key participant and witness to numerous efforts to prove that joe and hunter biden were linked to corruption in ukraine. rudy giuliani on behalf of then president donald trump tasked me to find dirt on the bidens to sprained misinformation about them thus securing the 2020 he recollection for trump. when i was arrested i was linked to an individual as unindicted co-conspirator one.

pete sessions who sits on this committee today. today i ask you to consider the following. in nearly a year traveling the world and interviewing officials in different countries i found precisely 0 evidence of biden's corruption in ukraine. no credible sources provided proof of criminal activity. not the f.b.i., c.i.a., nor nsa. no respectable ukraine official said the bidens did anything illegal including former president and former prosecutor. even when ceo burisma was offered a deal by rudy giuliani in exchange for information on the bidens, he provided none because there is none. no information ever pushed on the bidens in ukraine has come from one source and one source only, russia and russian agents. impeachment proceedings that bring us here now are predicated on false information spread by the kremlin.

everyone involved knew -- >> bill: this bit of a preview now. this hearing will be hot. stand by for more. want to bring in jess watters sitting patiently to our left watching this as well. he has a brand-new book called get it together. the only reason why he gets up this early today. jesse, good morning to you. your take on what you are watching now. >> bobulinski was strong and came in and said joe biden's brother lied, hunter lied, in these deposition. he had meetings with joe biden at the four seasons in los angeles and if everything was kosher, why is the biden family blatantly lying. investigators asked hunter biden did you pay for your father's household expenses over 100 times? hunter biden said i don't know. i can't answer. a lot of unanswered questions so far. >> dana: another one being about the loan supposedly from joe biden to his brother and i don't

know what you think of that. >> the accountant who joe never paid said there was no evidence that he had seen. he handled all of joe biden's finances no loan given. >> bobulinski came ready to play. the allegation he delivered toward the and of that statement about hunter biden proved his uncle jim biden lied. republicans would be well off if they would put these -- this transcript he is referring to on a board, on an easel so people can take it if for themselves. >> we saw with the january 6th commission how they had a lot of bells and whistles. they produced these hearings with the help of some hollywood production people and i'm not saying they have to go fox news style but you do have to show some sort of visual evidence to keep the audience engaged. maybe a bill hemmer montage.

>> bill: at the billboard. i would offer that republicans don't run these hearings nearly as well as democrats do. >> yes. they still don't even have the off shore banking records. they still do not have the credit card records. so we're still waiting to see about 50% of the financial records that they have haven't been able to get their hands on. once you have all of that, you have the checking accounts, you have off shore and credit cards that's when you put up a nice big collage and just show everybody how it all connects. it should be pretty simple. every time they're given diamonds they lose them. that might be hard to show. >> dana: what about hunter eva's strategy or game? he is coming to the hearing, not coming to the hearing. demands a public hearing and won't show up at the hearing. have they be led by the nose. >> we knew it would be a stunt when he pretended d he wanted t be there.

now when he can be there he is a no show. he doesn't want to have to answer questions in public. his father doesn't want to answer questions in public. every time his father answers a questions about it he lied. he said my family never took any money from china. why am i holding this up? hold it together. they took money. >> bill: on page 49 of your new book get it together you write if men would just say no more often, america would be in better shape. >> we found when i interviewed all of these people -- i'm talking two dozen of some of the most radical liberal fringe activists we are talking people that want to legalize drugs, statue toplers, the common denominator was they didn't have fathers going up. a bar stool father or no dad at all. fathers are there to say no, they are there to say get it

together. when you bring up children without any boundaries they start lashing out and they become adolescents in their 30s and 40s and that's what we are dealing with now. not only fathers can't say no, society can't say no. judges and teachers can't say no. we just have to say get it together. >> dana: i loved the book. congratulations. >> bill: thank you very much. >> dane." we'll be right back. >> bill: oral arguments set to begin in moments with this texas border security law that was put on pause. so this back and forth, this legal ping-pong. we'll tell you where it stands as of now coming up. a home loan because of your credit? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions. in fact, if you've had credit challenges and missed a payment along the way, you're more than five times more likely to get approved for the newday 100 va cash out loan. no one knows veterans like newday usa.
