geri, thank you. bombshell whistleblower documents regarding hunter biden's business dealings in china and ukraine. showing president biden was aware of the arrangement and may have been involved in potential criminal conduct committed by his son hunter and president's brother james biden. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. new pay to play allegation revealed in a letter to senator chuck grassily. he claims that whistleblower indicate a pattern in practice of political decisions within the fbi pointing to fbi documents with specific details. the former acting ag says the slow pace in the investigation looks to him to be political. >> they should have had a special counsel look into this

or be in charge of this months ago. this hunter biden investigation seems to be on really slowly moving. i think it's time for the fbi and d.o.j. to do something. >> dana: washington correspondent mike emmanuel is following this story in washington. >> reporter: good morning. the top republican on senate judiciary chuck grassley says whistleblower documents reveals that president biden was aware of hunter biden's business arrangement. grassley sent a letter to attorney general merrick garland and fbi director christopher wray. grassley says the fbi has significant impactful evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by hunter biden and james biden. hunter is the president's son. james is the president's brother. grassley indicate that the

president's relatives began working on behalf a chinese energy giant while joe biden was vice president but did not collect compensation until he left office in 2017. former business partner spoke to tucker carlson about joe biden's role. >> sub consent to the election, he's now the sitting president of the united states. there are hundreds of data points that joe biden was acting in a capitalistic term, the chairman. the chairman of j.p. morgan take eight meetings down with people he's a figurer head. >> reporter: grassley is asking if the fbi is doing due diligence. republicans promising oversight on capitol hill if they win back the majority next month. >> dana: thank you for that update. we'll have much more from james freeman from the "wall street journal" in a moment. >> he's weakened gun laws and

flooded our streets. >> my record being attacked. ms. abrams will not want to talk about her record. my focus is helping you fight through 40-year high inflation and disastrous policies in washington d.c. she supports these policies. >> bill: we are on the roll with these debates. brian kemp against stacy abrams faced each other once again. first round was 2018. that was hot. jonathan suri has more from atlanta on this match. >> reporter: adding to the mix, libertarian shane hazel trying to insert himself. it was a match between republican incumbent governor brian kemp and democratic challenger stacy abrams. sparring on issues ranging from

economy and democracy >> we need a governor who believes in access to right to vote and not voter suppression. >> for someone to say that we have been suppressive in our state when we've seen turnouts including minorities, african-american and latino and others is not true. >> reporter: abrams criticized the governor for signing a bill that allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons in public without a license. kemp insisted it allows law-abiding citizens to protect their family and property. >> people at home know the largest fastest growing segment of the population is buying handguns and firearms is african-americans and females. >> they think that's the only way to protect themselves because of guns have flooded our streets. these are communities that want to be safe. they don't want to have to carry weapons. >> reporter: early voting in georgia began yesterday on that

day alone, more than 130,000 voters cast ballots. that's 85% more voters than the first day of voting in the 2018 midterms. >> bill: we're off and running. jonathan thank you so much out in atlanta. thank you. >> dana: we have james freeman of the "wall street journal." this was a story about senator grassley sending a letter. i want to read part of it. grassley letter says the documents in the fbi's possession includes details about non-government officials relevant to potential criminal conduct by hunter biden. these documents indicate that joe biden was aware of hunter biden's business arrangements and may have been involved with some of them. >> it's significant. we've seen in the e-mail evidence joe biden's claim that he never knew anything and never had anything to do with hunter's

business. it has been blown apart. also the testimony. we have a whistleblower information. the senator saying, we assume people within the fbi sharing that these documents exist, potentially incriminating. what's really interesting is it's saying that the deal with the chinese entity began in 2016. joe biden is still vice president. that's potentially huge. >> bill: there are two phrases from the statements that dana read. was aware of his business dealings, the other one may have been involved. i think the reporting, grassley suggest that there's evidence that the chinese did not make a payment until joe biden was out of office. if you can prove that, what does that mean? >> obviously, he started out saying didn't know anything about hunter's business. never dealt with it. never talked to him about it. those excuses have gone away.

now what they are left with the allegations and chinese money is among the most damming. saying, he was not vice president at the time. 2017. the agreements occurred early in 2017, eventually $5 million goes to biden related entities in august of 2017. this whistleblower information, according to senator grassley, says that while they may not have done the paperwork, while he was vice president, the basic agreement was being hatched, being negotiated. >> dana: even if that might have been between hunter and them. this is getting tangled. >> you come back to it, what is the thing they are buying. $5 million, millions from ukraine. what is being sold here? i think that is a problem if joe

biden ever has to address this. as we know, hunter biden was not an expert on chinese finance or ukrainian natural gas or corporate governance in romania. you go down the list. i think we're getting towards years late. >> bill: let's talk about midterms. go for 2, 5 and 6 here to set up this question. politico headline democrat midterm hopes fade. carl rove writes, republicans now have edge ahead of midterm elections. here's where the tide turns. biden's claim, saying our economy is strong as hell. biden's claim at odds what voters are feeling when they fill up the car and listen to the talk at work. this disconnect between the president and americans are hurt democrats when the polls open.

it looks very good for the red team. >> i would think so. when you talk about democrats peaking too early, i think they've had a confidence that the dobbs decision will swing women in their favor. women have different opinions about abortion and everything else. a women's issue, parents issue and mom and dad issue has been underrated this year is the impact of lockdowns on students. i think you may see in some of these races, similar to what we saw in that virginia governor's race last year, kind of backlash against politicians. >> dana: we saw that with big school board races. school board races don't always make the national news. there were wholesale changes like in colorado what you were talking about really came through. i wonder if the republicans are starting to feel nervous with

all the headlines. it's not a done deal. they are probably looking at the headlines like, don't tap the breaks everybody. >> early voting started in lots of places. lots of people yet to vote. i think they like the environment. >> dana: 21 days to go. >> bill: thank you, james. two people fighting at new york city's grand central station take a tumble down the escalator. shocked onlookers scurry out the way and on it went. update on that. >> dana: there's stunning video showing war raging along the southern border as mexican cartels battle for control. former d.e.a. special operations director will join us as the migrant crises rages. >> they have no plan in place to mitigate this. they continue to manage this throwing more personnel whether

it's volunteer force or more border patrol agents to process these migrants in every single day. usa. it's called the newday 100 because it lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's value. not just 80% like some typical loans. that extra cash can make a huge difference in these times of skyrocketing prices. here's more good news: home values have skyrocketed too. that means even more cash! take out an average of $60,000 to pay down your high-rate credit card debt, consolidate your second mortgage, personal loans, and car loans, and lower your payments by $600 every month. best of all, there are absolutely no upfront out-of-pocket costs with this loan. and even if you have credit concerns, give us a call. the va has granted newday automatic authority to make our own approval decisions. when lenders say no to a veteran, newday can say yes.

>> bill: wild video from new york standards. new york city subways, two men seen fighting on the escalator grand central station. tumbling down to the platform. on that escalator, that is a long way to go. once they land at the bottom of the platform, the fight continues. the latest and wave of violence inside the subway system where what one politician said it's one in a million, one in 10 million. i say little more than that. we're at 25-year high for murders in new york. this was not a murder. we're not comparing the two.

this is the little bit of the flavor that you might see. >> dana: that's absolutely crazy. that's a long escalator. well, everybody just calm down. don't fight amongst yourself at the subways. now follow-up to a report that you brought you yesterday. homelandsecurity sources say biden administration to do chores is a shell operation. the white house recruiting labor from other federal government departments was revealed through access to internal d.h.s. planning memos. jillian turner has more. >> reporter: homeland security sources is accusing the white house is an emergency declaration at the southern border by borrowing labor across the government instead of asking congress to stem the border

crises. these are the memos and we got a first look at it yesterday. they revealed d.h.s. is asking for volunteers support borders in u.s. custody. they are recruiting those haves from every single government agency. from dod to veteran affairs. congressional regulators say it might be time to investigate. take a listen. >> i will be looking into what these dod officials aren't focused on back in the pentagon. the opportunity cost of this action, rather than just coming to congress and dealing with it and above board ways >> reporter: former head of immigration and customs enforcement under president trump says he agrees. >> money has to be reported to congress. this administration, because they don't want to admit there's a huge crises, historic crises on the border, they are doing all this smoke and mirror stuff.

>> reporter: lawmakers say that this so coulded volunteer force is in itself an admission of a crises at the border. >> they admitted to having a border crises by having for people willing to serve. they want you to serve joe biden's political agenda. >> reporter: so far, the pentagon has referred us to d.h.s. for comment on this developing story. the documents themselves. d.h.s. has not gotten back to us. we're working to crunch the numbers to tell you how much this is going to cost the federal government and taxpayers. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: texas governor greg abbott launching a statewide campaign called one pill kill. this is in response to the deadly fentanyl crises sweeping texas and the country. >> fentanyl is the single, deadliest threat that a nation has faced caused by mexican drug

cartels. drugs that seem like they are valid prescription drugs, things like painkillers or anti-anxiety drugs. it looks like pieces of candy. i issued an executive order designating cartels as terrorist organizations. >> bill: the former special director is with us now. good morning from dallas. you were in a presentation with the d.e.a. minister. what did she say and will there be a partnership between washington and what the governor is trying to do in texas? >> the d.e.a. administrator has been showing leadership over the last several years with the one pill can kill peop -- campaign. they recognize the only way we can save american lives is uniting law enforcement with the best and brightest american

patriots to go after the threat. the threat is the mexican cartels. the cartel and the cartel new generation are poisoning our country like we've never seen in the history of the country. unfortunately, bill, they are working with the chinese transnational criminals. they are destabilizing our country, our families need help. that's what's happening. all these law enforcement leaders, i applaud them all. i'm happy to be in the state of texas today joining forces with them. >> dana: you mentioned those gangs. i want to show you video we got yesterday in this is a gun fight between rival mexican gangs just miles from the southern border. i'm sure you seen it. this looks like a war zone. what do you think? >> well, the video proves beyond a reasonable doubt, we're dealing with a terrorist organization. right south of our border. they have military weapons. they actually are using

sophisticated technology that we can't even infiltrate has law enforcement community in america. we need to update the antiquated laws. they are involved in mutilations. they are involved in decapitations. they are destroying mexican people as well. it's not just in america. governor abbott has been a leader in this issue. we've been asking to declare the mexican cartels as terrorists. i'm happy to see that we have a bipartisan resolution to declare fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. one thing i want to say, if al qaeda or isis was developing a biological weapon in mexico, would we sit back and let 300 americans die every day? or we go after it with the best and brightest in america. right now the white house is silent and not educating america. that's really sad. that's what the families feel. thank you, fox, for putting all

these family members on the shows. it's our young, beautiful kids that are dying in their bedrooms because they are being poisoned to death. thank you very much. >> bill: listen, it's sometimes necessary to do that to drive it home. one last point here, last year, 1700 texans died because of fentanyl. it is number one cause of death of americans between ages of 18 and 45. the numbers don't lie. it needs a response. derek million dollars live in -. >> dana: the jury is deliberating in a trial. he's accused in the durham probe of lying to the fbi about contacts with a political operative tied to hillary clinton. gas prices in california are well above the national average.

for special counsel john durham, this case is about much more. he called the elephant in the room. the fbi. that's what john durham is looking at big picture here. igor danchenko was the subsource for ex-british spy chris steele who comprised that dossier. durham alleged that danchenko lied. he wanted to dig up dirt on trump. the government led by durham said he never received a call even though he says he did. cell phone log shows no call came in on his account. his defense attorney says wait a minute, you can't prove a call came from an app like signal or whatsapp. he repeated the story about the

phone call to special agent four times hence the four charges. he was a government witness but defended danchenko adding that national security is at risk because igor no longer works for the fbi. he made more than $200,000 as an informant. jurors deciding this now. this is john durham's second trial. >> bill: we await. thank you, david. david punt watching that jury deliberate. >> dana: president biden taking a lot of heat for a comment on gas prices in california. here's his response to a reporter who asked if he seen prices near $7 in l.a. >> that will always be the case. nationwide, came down $1.35.

half of this. he keeps doing this traditional politician move he pivots to consolation mode. that's never supposed to be the measuring stick here in america. should see the other guy. that's what we have now. it's now we supposed to be the signing city on the hill. now we're not so shiny. that's not leadership. i almost think he's amish. he doesn't know cameras exist or tape recorders exist. >> dana: i'm glad you asked. because i didn't get it. >> bill: i thought you were suggesting amish are not honest? >> no! don't do me like that. he talks like he doesn't know he doesn't know he's being recorded. >> dana: he said don't worry, we'll fix housing. >> what the gas prices, we have to wind up moving in ayatollah r

staff poorly is the lowest thing you can do in society as any person. i considered that the worst of the worst. in this instance, what you got to understand, it had to be really bad for mcnally to out him on this initially. you don't want to alienate celebrities. corden was like next level. >> dana: there was apparently a hair in one of the dishes. corden was very nasty. then apologized. i sort of get that. i do think that corden has to understand, there were cameras all around him too. >> again, like the biden thing. corden has a reputation. in public he's nice. as a backstage monster goes, he's like a nine. he's pretty out there.
