anything exposed. not al franken, please. anthony weiner. anthony weiner just announced from existential threats -- is this the temptation to curse the darkness? yes, for some reason, decided to go into podcasting. cut felt next. >> fox news alert, president biden now bashing republicans for not doing anything to lower your gas prices. it appears to be the latest messaging hail mary from the president presiding over a record high inflation and an approval rating that just keeps going down. not even numbers of his own party want to run the political risk of appearing alongside him. you're watching a 30 fox & friends. >> democrat seeking statewide

office in ohio completely stomach the president yesterday. said to be doing more to help their cause ahead of november. kellyanne conway says the failures of this white was impossible to ignore. >> cutting loose biden and harris, and look, the conspiracy or not the force of these. the democrats and liberals and biden and harris and the rest of them have always used as a stalking horse blaming that for that one. they can't do it anymore. >> good morning, mark. >> good morning. >> polls for the economy ahead of mine for voters. president biden knows he cannot avoid the topic. on wednesday, i was in cleveland, ohio, is plan passed congress last year. the president telling the crowd the economy has improved since the crop years but he admits admiration is a real problem americans face today. >> president biden: we got a

long way to go because of inflation because of -- i call it the putin tax increase. all that great he is keeping from being able to get to the market. now i'm fighting to like to lower the cost of thing that you talk about around your kitchen table. >> two high-profile book i democrat was in from the president pete, both the democrat running for governor and senator in this wednesday chose not to join the president on his visit. congressmen even telling fox that he plans to keep his distance from the president. >> i heard you in an interview today really not answering if you want president biden on the campaign trail in ohio. because my answer was i wanted to be the face of this campaign, and i don't want any distractions. because this morning, the white house is also beginning its search for a new communications director. we were a decade bedingfield currently holds the role is going to be leaving the polls later this summer. she is responsible for taking the president's budget.

one of several recent high-profile departure from the white house, but officials are just going to be assisting the president, just from outside the white house. either way, there certainly is a revolving door across town right now. we do and we got some big names. thank you very much, so. jesse watters as americans are living faith in their institutions. >> no one has confidence in the american presidency anymore. the last president was hunted down like a dog and impeached twice, this president is already a lame duck who can't do anything right. all of these institutions have been disrespecting us for far too long. they don't listen to the people and they don't even pretend to be about the people that deserve. the ones that do are savagely attacked for it. the country is at a crossroads. some just want to escape into the iphones, some want to burn everything to the ground, and some want to kick out the idiots running things and put some people with common sense back in

charge. the question is which one are you? >> todd: a lot of headquarters that we often report you. this one really head scratching. the white house reportedly sending 5 million barrels of our reserve all that you pay from your taxpayer dollars to europe and asia. president originally said that all would be released to you to help lower the price of the org here in america. >> carley: he joins us now. neil, good morning to you. what you make of this 5 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve that the president sent to countries like china. 5 million barrels, relative drop in the bucket all things considered? i think a lot of people assume that all would be staying here. as a big deal for you? >> well, you know, exporting oil, i think it's something that the united states need to be a leader in. the problem is where the soil is

coming from. this president has made it a habit to get into this reserve quite a few times now, and we still got three more month of him drawing out a million barrels a day and we've already -- were already down the levels in the reserve we ain't scenes and bubbly 1986, the question is what are we going to do after that is over with? we can't just keep dipping into this. we have to find some solutions to the real problem, the world is demanding more oil and we've got a government that is limiting the ability to get it. >> todd: keep in mind, but this is actually label is the strategic petroleum reserve. the strategy is to allow us to have gas in case we are in a situation where we desperately need it. let's think national security, wartime, think along those lines. we are potentially, to your point, depleting that to a level that could make us strategically vulnerable and that is concerning. talk about your perspective from somebody worth in the industry.

i want you to put on a different tack. be the consumer. the average american consumer, struggling right now to pay for gas at the pub. what are they to think when they see president biden releasing this to our enemies? to china? that makes no sense. that can be so frustrating to every single american. >> it is. it's frustrating, and what really frustrating and the excuses that we keep getting, we keep getting this is all russia's fault and the white house is trying to paint a picture of this price hike being the total fault of russia because their grain is completely of the market. that's not true. the rationale are still going to the market. the united states might not be buying it, but places like china are buying at all, so it is getting to the market, in a lot of cases, to getting sold at a discount price, so i'm not buying this putin price hike. even the other thing is during a time of record high gas prices, the president is considering

banning offshore drilling. according to "the new york times," they say he is likely to block new dwelling in the atlantic and pacific ocean, so if that does happen, how can you say that he is doing everything in his power to lower gas prices? >> basically because they're not doing everything in their power. when you go all the way back to the campaign, the president said that he was going to destroy the fossil fuel industry, those are words that he cannot escape. they can get in front of the public and they're trying everything they can, but they really offer nothing but excuses. i have the transportation secretary at the other day saying that they want to take these leases away if these companies aren't using them, but i can get behind that if the leases at the permits came together, but the administration knows that just because they don't make the leases out, they can still get permit.

>> todd: you mentioned, i don't think biden can escape what he said on the campaign trail. question to you, does he want to? is this a strategy? is this his plan all along to get rid of fossil fuels and get us into this panacea that he wants to have, which is not reality of us all on electric cars and no fossil fuels? >> i think it is part of the plan. this administration is the administration that's been soft on crime, so i don't think they might people getting problem they go to the gas station every day. >> carley: we referred to you as a layer of keystone pipeline worker. gibson's landed a job in new jersey. obviously landed on your feet wet as no surprise to everybody who's been watching you on our channel. interestingly enough, the job that you have is not building

solar panels as john kerry suggested. i think that's really the point that the biden administration is really trying to rush into renewables before it is a viable option. we always appreciate having one. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. even grow footage shows hundreds of migrants flooding texas. the department of justice is investigating the state water to stop the influx at its southern border. >> todd: tell us more about how the biden doj's into operation lone star is proceeding. >> hey, could model, guys. the justice department lodging an investigation into texas as border security for potential civil rights violation. the doj and saying, "with the president taking this administration, receiving information that the dps maybe discriminating on the basis of race and/or national origin in those activities related to operation monster." the texas department of criminal justice spokesman told us "the agency has and continues to follow all state and federal laws." axis response to the oncoming crisis of the body.

the biden administration targets operation once. no video from the water shows nearly 500 migrants illegally crossing into eagle pass, texas. waiting and giving a thumbs up to a drone. texas attorney general reacting to the footage telling us. the administration was my priorities are out of it. listen. because the biden doj is too stupid to go after drug traffickers and human traffickers and go work on helping dh as to claim that southern border. it has been declared that most dangerous migraine m lot in the area. >> nearly 240,000 migrant encounters at the southern border. the previous number were back in april. >> todd: broker, thank you.

meantime, the largest teachers union in the country petition to change the word mother to birthing parent. the resolution considered at this week's national education association conference in chicago says, "using this contract language, members need not worry about how maternity leave, mother or father are defined. last week we talk to a mother of three who said ideas like this are we had. >> we need to turn this country around. these teachers unions are evil and they have really taken over government education and we need to stop it. we don't know what yet on whether the resolution passed during yesterday's vote. you got pretty fired up about things like this. if we continue to keep ignoring reality, which is the fact that, let's face it, women, mothers are the ones that give birth, then we are going to lose our

reality. if we continue to normalize nonsense, it will become the norm. now breaking news to you, i was just on a delivery room, and i can confirm only mothers can give birth. the mothers in there, in fact, were women. no member giving birth, there were no birthing people, and the tropical thing. you don't want them doing this. we got to stop this nonsense. even speaking of nonsense, we've also got the situation in washington state. i can't believe i'm saying this, but there is a school board director there was going to be teaching sex education classes to children as young as 9, and one of the classic is going to be talking about his pleasure to 9-year-olds. this isn't something that is being endorsed by the school district. she is not to be holding discusses in her own personal capacity at the shop that she owns. she serves on the scoreboard. she is the school board director at the school district. maybe the lady owns a shop shouldn't be on a school board

but that's up to the community to decide. >> todd: there should be criminal. you can do whatever he wants for people that are 18 or older. she can sell your wares to them for whatever activities they want to engage in. the son of our business. when you focus your attention on kids as young as 9, this move to sexualise little kids is a terrific and sick. let's face it. you have your whole life to worry about, to be an adult, why don't we let these kids enjoyed their youth, enjoy the innocence of youth, for that you're tempted to have it. let's also remember, kids do not have the capacity to process all that goes along with. it's the reason we have the age of consent throughout our country, and you're ignoring that. you're teaching this to to kids as young as 9, they're not able to process. for one adapt it, there is a breakdown in society where there are a lot of adults who are weirdly interested in talking about advanced topics with young

students. we saw this during parental rights in education that the patch in florida, where a lot of teachers are saying i can teach kindergartners unless i can talk to them openly about. yeah, you can. maybe focus on math and colors and shapes. >> todd: stuff that we've been eating kids in kindergarten, first wait for eons. >> carley: this is at work, this is weird. an officer killed after confronting a ban armed with a rifle. the suspect also died in the shoot-out. the city's police chief says it's a strategy. because the violence in this country. too much gun violence in the city, too much gun violence in this country. >> carley: the officer's identity has not been released. the department that he was a five year veteran of the fourth and comes from a long line of

police officers. >> todd: police helicopter landed on a highway. you got to watch this. this footage shot by tennessee driver shows responders blocking the road to get a motorcycle officer inside that aircraft and to the hospital. we are. battled injuries are not life-threatening. parks police motorcycle officers were called. not easy learning in the sticks. they did it on a pretty tight spot. stop and take a look at your screen, will you?

♪ ♪ >> carley: british media is now reporting that prime minister boris johnson has agreed to the design. that's according to sky news on the bbc. the new sport and an unprecedented scale made. we are expecting him to make a statement any moment now. this is big news after a tumultuous past year. it really started over having a party during cupboard locked down. he said he had a vote of no confidence over that. then there was a allegation thrown in british parliament. >> todd: that have been scandals rocking this administration. the latest one, the most notable one report that he knew for three years that his chief lieutenant, his most loyal confidant had been accused of sexually assaulting young man. let's also keep in mind, only

18% of voters wanted johnson to stay. we talk about pride in being low, that is really low. 37 of his senior officials resigned and does the last 36-48 hours or so. boris johnson, this past tuesday, 48 hours ago, said he told a colleague when asked if we consider resigning, obviously something happen in 48 hour to make changes might. >> carley: jodha said that he would stay. inadvertently, the top of the prime minister in difficult circumstances when he's been handed a colossal mandate to keep going. that changed over widespread calls for him to resign. interestingly enough, he is one of the world leaders with a relationship with president trump president trump and president biden, but he says that he is going to resign as british prime minister. he said that today. >> todd: let's keep in mind, we've been focused obviously what has been happening in our

country, i don't think the average american is to lock into british politics, but this has been going on, like we've alluded to, for a while now. boris johnson cannot remain in this position any longer, and the 18% of voters saying they want him to stay, obviously, 82% saying they want him out. again, keep in mind, prime minister's office is expected to make a comment on the any moment now within the next potential minutes or hours. we of course will bring a tear when we not be be more. this is a big deal. keep in mind, we've known this for awhile. britain in one of our closest allies, closest ally. anytime there is a kid in the government commitment to impact our response to things on the world stage. let's face it, there are a lot of things on the one states that require collaboration and cooperation right now, so this is going to be interesting to see other biden administration respond. the one that's it. for more than 50 government ministers and aids have quite under boris johnson, and then just from the times, drama

followed by the late resignation of another minister. the welsh secretary. a lot of people were just leaving because his presence was so bad. the vote of no confidence in a few weeks ago that was over the locked on the counter where he was having parties while there was a lot of because of covid. he could not survive the allegation against one of his closest aides. >> this 40 year terms for the presidency, but different system over there. it is much different. basically, if you are able to destabilize the person that's in there, you can essentially rise to the level you set. that's what boris johnson and his allies did to theresa may just a few short weeks ago, but it looks like now boris johnson is the one who will no longer be in this position. >> carley: recently, we saw the image, he was very chummy

after g7. joking around about vladimir putin, saying should i take off my shirt? sort of viral moment there. it seems that all the world stage, everything was lighthearted and he's getting along with all the world leaders, but back at home, the controversies clearly swirling regarding his leadership as british prime minister. he's been a staunch advocate of ukraine alongside president biden, trying to send ukrainians money to ukraine as they fight this war with russia. we will see how british politics changes as he said that he is going to step down. >> todd: one of the key aspect of the british politics imagine, keep in mind, boris johnson was one of the ones who really upended the brexit referendum by voting to leave and keep in mind what the pen. this is a guy who grew up in

brussels saying he wants to leave the european union. it will be interesting to see what happens going forward with england, with britain, and the relationship with the e.u. now that boris johnson, once of the spearhead of the leave movement is gone. >> carley: we are waiting that statement. we will bring it to you when it comes in. in the meantime, organizers in l.a., say they responded 150,000 more signatures that needed to get the measure on the ballot. the camp and submitting 717,000 names when they only needed 567,000. one campaign said i firmly believe if members are given the chance at the ballot box, they will remove him in a landslide. i think it will be worse than what happened to chesa boudin in san francisco. got a third signature after the

killing of two to police officers by suspect out on parole because of gascon's policies. want to be joined by a mother of someone who is killed. the fourth of july fireworks forces a family to run for their lives. watch this. [explosions] one shall appear to ignite an entire box of firewood, triggering this massive blast. the chaotic scene all caught on security camera. parrots grabbing the kids and running for cover as sparks fly in all directions. it's unclear where the incident occurred if anyone was injured. the security company,

simplisafe, denied rumors that it was date for security purposes. >> todd: chaos on the fourth of july. a hostile crowd logic fireworks targeting cops as crime runs rampant in that city. a resident. join me know. but you, wasn't just your city. we saw this, things are similar to this in philadelphia and new york, all over our great country, chicago for example. however we got from driving along, i see a police officer, let me slow down because i respect law officers and i respect the law to pay, there is an officer, let me throw fireworks at them. >> come first of all, thank you for having me this morning. yeah, you're right. we are having a so-called epidemic of attacks on our police officers. it's a terrible thing to do, especially now, coming out of

the pandemic, coming out of the defund the police and all of the movement across the country. the mic to reduce the presence of police officers on our street. we actually need to increase it. in san francisco, for example, we are way, way understaffed, where overwhelmed, and you see it. there's video online, there is a tax on the police officers, this is not just. >> todd: these offices in san francisco are trying to put up a fire. they were trying to help society by providing a fire from spreading. look at the mind-set of someone sees first responders, police officers were trying to put out a fire and say i'm going to attack the person. >> yeah, there's something deranged in that way. it's deranged, it is evil, its anarchistic. the area of san francisco where this happened, they say it was a block party that went a little

bit out of control, but the syrian san francisco is known to be an anarchist, marxist, left wing, even though the city council members represented in the district in that area. it is known to have these kind of individuals there. even as they brought in france, the friends -- and still, there needs to be people held accountable. people need to be held responsible, and the people who suffer at the police department, small business owners and tourists will certainly won't want to be there and won't want to come the one i have this kind of attitude in this kind of reaction, especially on holidays. >> todd: now the question becomes how do we stop this? obviously, you were important in the recall of chesa boudin. it allows criminals to walk free. what mind-set as we get rid of that, there will be consequences. that's one possible answer to solving this. any other answers? >> well, you're right. right now, san francisco

specifically, we are in a holding pattern because the recorded successfully go through. the district attorney who pretty much refused to hold criminals accountable. there has not been a replacement made yet, and were awaiting any day now because -- who is to replace chesa boudin. that's why these particular individuals know that they can get away with these criminal activities for the moment. we hope and we pray that very soon, there's going to be attained. >> todd: we certainly hope, that the person that is installed is not a chesa boudin clone was going to propagate the same policies. richard greenberg. thank you, sir. >> thanks for having me. thank you. >> carley: all right. prime minister boris johnson has agreed to resign.

that's according to sky news at the bbc. the movement and an unprecedented stalemate over the latest scandal to rock the prime minister. we are expecting him to make a statement any moment now. it is not clear if johnson will stay in office until the party gets a new leader who is going to replace him as prime minister. >> the highland park planning a second attack. >> carley: the latest from highland park. madeline, good morning. >> good morning. some chilling details of policing the suspect not only confessed to the crime, this is a also seriously considered attacking another fourth of july celebration of our two and a half hours away in wisconsin. >> while he was driving and he located the celebration

occurring in the madison area, i contemplated another attack with a firearm he had in his car. his cell phone was tapped in a 6500 block of university avenue in middleton. that was recovered yesterday by the fbi. it is being right now. >> investigators don't know exactly why crimo decided not to attack and instead drove back to illinois where he was later arrested, but they say there are indications that he had not put in up resorted to pulling off a second shooting. the mass shooting that killed seven people, the motive remains unclear. however, authorities say he went into detail about what you're done, opening fire from a rooftop in highland park, targeting barre chords. police citing 83 bullet shells and three ammunition magazines on the rooftop. there are also facing questions about how crimo was able to legally buy guns despite making threats of violence in the past. in 2019, police were called to his matters to me that he had threatened to kill everyone.

69, a dagger, and a sword were confiscated at the time, but no firearms. his father sponsored his application for a gun license later that year. he is now speaking about his son for the first time saying he had talked about 13 hours before the shooting birdies at said the footage, they make me like a groom him to do all of this. i've been here my whole life and i'm going to stay here, former head of high because i didn't do anything wrong. we thought it additional charges for the dozens of people that hurt. he is due back in court on july 28. stephen all right, madeline their life force. thank you. former homicide detective ted williams said the alleged shooter's parents could be culpable in a criminal probe. >> we got to look at the parents here. they had to know something about this kid. they knew that he had suffered and had tried to commit suicide. to go and buy a gun with your

son who is already a target to commit suicide, to go and buy guns with your son who had threatened family members to the point where you had to take nice out of the house? something is very troubling there. that is going to have to be part of this investigation also. >> carley: police in richmond, virginia, plans for a fourth of july mass shooting. >> todd: authorities say the plot was disclosed from your citizen. this is absolutely remarkable city. we are going to have a lot more throughout the course of there. first, the latest in all the details. what we know? >> it was a tip from your citizen that prevented to illegal immigrants from carrying out a planned attack on a july 4th celebration. >> are here hero citizen picked up the phone. said there was a mass shooting

being planned. that a citizen picked up the phone and called on brave men and women at the secondary thing. after that phone call was made, our investigation also reach out to the fbi. one phone call save numerous lives on the fourth of july. >> carley: the shooting were set to take place at a city baseball game. police to investigate if the suspect residents, evidence in plain view that line. the roman pollok castle and polio alvarado two men were both eventually charged with being a noncitizen in possession of a firearm. authorities found two semiautomatic rifle, i had gone and 223 rounds of ammunition at home. the police keep seeing these two men should not have been here. >> can be frustrating and things like that occur. actually continuing to be able to do the statistics. it can be frustrating. police officers, especially at the richmond police department, will continue to do their best.

if they can do something that actually violates the law, they will be held by responsible from our perspective. stay when they are being held without bond, but additional charges could possibly be filed. thank you. let's bring in timothy allyson james, of the house oversight committee. congressmen, good morning. it is great to see. what is your reaction to this alleged mass shooting that was thankfully foiled? >> well, this is another example of the problems were going to encounter because this administration want secure the southern border. republicans in the house have been screaming for some type of plan, some type of legislation to try to secure our borders. we try to provide the american people with the national security that the government is supposed to provide them, were going to see more and more examples of criminal elements,

possibly terrorist elements, that are causing the southern border, and it just another example of how the biden administration is just committing atrocities by not doing what the american people expect its government to do, and that protect the people by securing the southern border. >> todd: it's absolutely frightening. it is absolutely chilling. this could be the first of many, not not doing any better. congressmen, the treasury secretary yet again to hand over any suspicious international bank transactions associated with hunter biden. what makes this unique is this used to be a routine ask and answer the treasury. you have any suspicious materials from experts on? the government get that information. not anymore. why? >> that's what we're trying to find out. i think we all know why. but just to put this into perspective, the suspicious activity report was put into place when george bush was president after september 11th to try to change money laundering into terrorist sales in the united states.

suspicious activity report is a very serious back in violation. hunter biden and joe biden's brother, jim, i have had over 150 suspicious activity reports. when bush was president andrew obama, clinton, bush, any member of congress could request the treasury, a list of suspicious activity report in the state. joe biden became president, this is before it became published to make public knowledge that hunter at the suspicious activity reports, he in the dark of night change it to work congress could no longer access that. we have formally requested the suspicious activity reports of hunter biden, the democrats will not allow us to have it unless that the white house will not allow a to have it unless the democrats sign on to the request >> todd: congressmen james comer. thank you. keep us posted if you get it. breaking right now.

boris johnson has agreed to resign. according to sky news at the bbc, we are expecting him to make a statement in any moment. for one night and for art joins us now. naidu, good morning. it's good to have you. what is your reaction to it? british prime minister boris johnson thing that he is going to resign. >> he has no choice. he literally has no choice. despite getting the big mandate of the people in 2019, the truth is he hasn't followed the rules. the one rule between between readers and the electorate is they tell the truth. he knows that with the times isn't very nice, isn't very palatable. again and again, over and over, just not seeing the truth, and he's got saying i'm sorry. catastrophic for public trust. any official that make up

government, all of the different ministers, without education or health or whatever it is, over 50 of them have resigned over the past 48 hours. he literally didn't have enough people left who trusted him to run the government, so i can. my conclusion is that it's actually a very sad and for somebody who started. but so it was the big moment in british history. he picks it up, he runs with it, he wins the general election, delivered it, and that should be his historical legacy. sadly, over his announcement, the next few minutes, he goes down looking at what prime minister was the soreness to the british people. that is so sad. >> todd: hume mentioned that the government could not continue because they were not enough ministers. boris johnson up until the last couple of hours had been insisted he was not going to go.

he was going to remain an office, and you would have to be dragged from office kicking and screaming. what changed? >> a big tabloid, you have to tip your hat and blood to get rid of me, which is horrible. not changed, it's developed. did somebody lose family? i think in the end, what happened was the number of senior cabinet ministers just said to him, look, we're going to work out. he literally -- frankly, the last 24 hours has been far similar. it's been similar. the truth is he should have gone 48 hours ago. it would have been easier. you simply have to. >> carley: what happens now?

will he stay as prime minister until they choose a new leader? and if so, with that going to be? >> it's a good questions. the first is what is going to say in a few minutes as if he'll stay as prime minister until late september, early october, to give the conservative party the opportunity to choose a new leader of the party, and therefore a new prime minister. however, many of those 50 resignations in their letter have cast doubt upon johnson's integrity, about his truthfulness, about his fitness to serve in public office, and it would be very difficult to know whether we can stay on as prime minister for a few more months or whether they'll actually asked him to go and appointed deputy, would step in. i don't know the answer to that right now. he will want to stay on as prime minister, but if everyone around you is as you're not a

person to trust with integrity, that would be very difficult. there is no obvious front-runner, the reason for that is he set a big, strong, charismatic, humorous, at times very entertaining character. there is nobody obvious like that. i think what's going to happen now is we're going to back to conservatives in this country. and tell you why. jocks mike johnson is a conservative, but the others are liberal. raising taxes, net zero, too many can traditional conservatives, now you will have that wing of the conservative party of i can's more traditional conservatives, and that's where the battle is going to be. i just don't know. what i do know is across the western world, whether it is

america, britain, australia, wherever we go, the conservative party is stopping conservative, guess what? they lose elections. i think this is a big moment for british conservatives. that going to be a furious battle ground here over the past few months, but actually, i'm viewing this is a good opportunity. more of a chance to move on to find the form of conservatism that fits on the 21st century that six men and women, self-employed. we are going to get great back in the u.k. economy are we going to be sung with the rest of europe, and were hopeful going to have that debate. i'm not down happy. this chapter is over, a new one begins, but the party has got this real battle for its soul. peter you mentioned johnson's transition from a conservative to basically a liberal. and somebody watching from the u.s., it seems like that

transition happened in and around the time that joe biden ascended to the presidency here in the united states, which begs the question, what does this mean for u.s.-u.k. relations going forward in the near term? >> u.s.-u.k. relations took a massive back stepan biden took office. he's got this romantic idea of ireland, that makes it difficult. he's made nothing on a trade deal, which under trump, we were designed and delivered by now. of course, biden withdraws american troops from afghanistan without even consulting his oldest ally. we put the same money into afghanistan. we lost the same number of lives in afghanistan on a pro rata basis. i think that has been a slight

coming together over ukraine, where boris johnson has given more leadership than biden in many ways. yes, where biden and boris wanted was at the g7 in england and cornwall last year. again, they both want to save the world but aiming for net zero, that's where that relationship went. truth of it is, guys, presidents command go, prime ministers command go, the u.s.-u.k. relationship as a very good. and slightly colder period. overall, still incredibly close and they will go on. >> carley: those who are just learning about the fact that there was even controversy surrounding boris johnson, can you explain exactly what it is that did him in for lack of a better phrase? >> while, there were a series of problems that have been occurring month after month. things that could easily have been avoided as opposed to major

crises that the market trust upon others. this one is a good old russian sex scandal. i'll promise you, no one does sex scandals like the british. this one is a man who is in a senior position of government who had a long history of behaving inappropriately, and i mean very inappropriately towards young men. there were incidents that took place at a club in london, a conservative club in london, where the guys got very, very drunk. i think basically assaulted two young men. he was ultimately suspended from the party, then the question came, did boris johnson know about the history of the spam? and that is where this all started. no, he knew nothing about it. then we were told he knew generally there was some gossip, but he knew no specific

allegations. and then emerged, the president has been directly reach a specific allegations of serious sexual harassment against this man who hasn't acted and hasn't removed him. johnson was confronted with that, he said he forgot. you can see the lies that just completely got out of control. confident in the country, the prime minister just crashed. the great thing about leaders is sometimes, they have to say things that to the contrary that aren't very nice, but you have to tell the truth. given there was also that he was dishonest to the public about helping these government parties during pandemic labs and then actually survived a vote of no confidence of the situation. not only that, it was interesting how serious the british people to that because we had about 50 leaders in the

united states will basically do the exact same thing, but there is a lot of anger for boris johnson. >> it's interesting, we've been working on pandemic, we've been working 18 hours a day. we are under huge pressure, and you know what? actually, on friday night, he did have a party. it wasn't very fun. all of us would say, well, actually, we broke the rules on it but also. again, it's so often we find in politics and in public life, it isn't the act itself that causes the harm, it is the attempt to cover it up by not telling the truth. a series of these things for johnson where he's honesty, truthfulness, integrity is a big. literally over the sex scandal, he is being not telling us the

truth. we just decided collectively and quickly in the course of a few days that enough is enough. >> todd: british media saying prime minister boris johnson expected to resign. we were to have an announcement at some point within the next couple of minutes, potentially hours from right there. 10 downing street. we have night and far right here with us to break down what this means for the u.k., for u.k.-u.s. relations. you have different herbs and boris. i want to get into the appetite for scandal between our two countries with our leaders. obviously, u.s., no stranger to scandals with our leaders. now, you obviously facing a major scandal. here is a scandal with boris johnson in the u.k. how does the appetite from the public differ and what does that lead to going forward with what these leaders can ultimately accomplish, and the political

futures? >> i think one thing is that the british press, i think the people in the british newspapers are much more vicious than anything you've got in america. i know that somebody -- i'm literally, there are many, many things in people's private lives that get exposed in britain and get talked about. but the truth is people are quite forgiving. nobody lives are blameless and faultless life. but it is about how people respond. this can be financial obligations are personal allegations are whatever it maybe. it's all about how people respond to it. sometimes, people try to hide under a rock and top it all goes away, it maybe at will and maybe it won't.

those who wilfully try to cover their tracks with untruths was in the end found out. we can go back to 1963 when there was a government who was involved with a woman was a was also involved with a russian attache. can you imagine this? the height of the cold war. he lied to parliament. in the end, if it brought the entirety of the conservative government down and labeled under the next general election. it's nice to get magnified in a huge way. unless the conservative party can learn a very rapid, quick lesson from this, they will be obliterated from the next general election. >> carley: has there ever been a british prime minister to resign in this way? how historic is this moment? >> actually, you elect a president for a term and they can be impeached and removed,

doesn't really happen. our system is different. we don't actually vote, and in theory, we vote for a number of mps, the prime minister comes from a month that. interestingly, resignation has become very coffin. present the very morning after the break that referendum. theresa may resigned the day after the european election of 2019, when the conservatives got the lowest votes in the entirety of their history, and now boris. we've got three in a row. it does seem to be rather common over here. >> todd: watch theresa may thinking this morning? >> i don't know. she hasn't said. she probably feels that she probably feels a certain degree

of delight because she has huge antipathy toward boris johnson. probably having a private little quiet. here is the point, and i have to reemphasise it one more time. the threat the last couple of days isn't as the legacy of reputation. for boris johnson is the entirety of conservative movement in this country. it has been dragged to the mat over the course of the last week. people in the streets openly say that conservatives were all cheats, they are all liars, they're all abusers. it's bad, pretty bad. so whatever she may think privately, the fact is the conservative tribe needs to get back together, we assess its core values, it back to being a part of truth and integrity. if it does that, we have a chance of the next election. otherwise, were going to finish up -- it's not the extreme anti-semitic hard left. we'll up with a liberal

socialist style administration, which i think -- it really is the conservative movement now has got to get this right. to be one of just saying that british media was reporting that boris johnson is set to resign today. we have implemented people confirm that as well. does his resignation mean -- it's more clarification on the point that you just made -- does his resignation mean that the next british prime minister could be from the liberal party, or is the next prime minister going to be from the conservative party? how does that work? >> not in the short-term. in the short term, the conservatives have a big parliamentary majority. many, many more mps. we will maintain a conservative prime minister. the argument i'm making is that

the next general election has to take place before the end of 2024. our current form, the conservatives will suffer a devastating loss in that election. we will get a liberal socialist popping on prime minister. there is still time for the conservative movement to save itself. it has to act quickly, it has to act decisively because that whole thing has been tarnished. it's sad to say, but the whole plan has been tarnished by johnson. >> todd: i know you said earlier in our discussion, you weren't sure what needs to be circulating, but that's it, we here in the u.s. are discussing potential blast from the past with looking to 2024 and beyond. obviously, i'm talking about

hillary clinton and donald trump. any blast from the past week at either the u.k.? >> no. even the fact that hillary's name is being mentioned is beyond my comprehension. there is no chance of theresa may coming back. there is no chance of david cameron coming back. now, it's going to be someone new. we will see. i personally hope that somebody who's outside the family circle. you think about this. david cameron and boris johnson went to the same school, or eaten. they produced 21 british prime ministers. a lot for one school producing most of our prime ministers. we can move outside of the upper classes and find those who have been successful in the world of business before. his powers from saddam hussein.

came to britain, they don't speak the language. has become very successful, quite good businessman. number two job in the country. he is self-made, got talented. i want someone like that is what the conservative movement been. >> carley: what does this mean for the war in ukraine? johnson has some major support, sending british aid to ukraine. does that change now that he's going to resign? >> i don't think it will, to be honest with you. it seems that ukraine -- no, i think the british are going to go on sending arms, sending aid to ukraine, although it very

much looks like putin will take donbas. even breaking right now, it is 10:00 a.m. in london. prime minister boris johnson is preparing to resign. >> todd: we are expecting him to make a statement at any appointment. his newly appointed education secretary resigned. one of 50 british officials resigned after revealed johnson knew about misconduct against the former deputy chief whip he appointed. nigel farage here with us during the breaking news. we've been talking for the last 20 minutes about all things boris johnson, for those just waking up, why now? what happened ove
