8:00 am
d.a. moved quickly. >> dana: they did. >> to address this matter with transparency, which was good. but again, this situation puts the problem back on the table for us to go even deeper and making sure and explaining to police. i am one who thinks civilian oversight is needed. it is needed in a big way but that oversight -- >> dana: we're out of time and we thank you so much for your input. we'll hear from you soon. we say goodbye now and harris faulkner will be taking over. thank you. >> harris: president biden's border disaster has a new twist and it is not good. illegal crossings are now surging at the northern border. this is especially alarming. the president's failures at the southern border could have a direct connection. plus our commander-in-chief
8:01 am
accused of waging war on energy in america. all of this is coming up. we want to get right away to the border story. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." dramatic new video now. let's go to it. showing the magnitude of the jeopardy to our sovereign nation. the video shows a large group of illegal immigrants bailing out of a human smuggler's truck followed by a high-speed chase. the driver later lost control and crashed that truck. after hitting speeds of 100 miles-per-hour or more. texas troopers were chasing her down and then had to tackle her down to keep her from getting away. all of this comes as homeland security secretary mayokas is in miami, florida today touting new measures the administration says will put a dent in illegal
8:02 am
crossings. two borders. shocking numbers tell a different story than the one coming out of his mouth. cbp sources telling fox there have been nearly 300,000 gotaways just since october. those are the ones our scanners and cameras can pick up. we don't know anything about them. we know that 300,000 of them roamed across our border and are traveling like they want to across our country. there are plenty of people who come and we don't see them coming. the number that you see there, 2,450 per day is not just the southern border, though, as i mentioned that we're worried about. new photographs show people wading through 12 feet of snow on the border with canada. illegal crossings in the past three months more than the last two years combined. >> as they see what's happening along the southern border and
8:03 am
how easy and those coming across the border illegally are rewarded and released into the country and provided with all the resources to live in the country. so goes to show you that because of the fact they have no strategy in place. the federal government, they is allowing a magnet for those trying to make it to the united states. >> harris: a magnet indeed across two borders. tom cotton of the great state of arkansas member of the intelligence and armed services and judiciary committee. let's start with our reporter bill melugin in mission, texas. >> good morning. the jaw dropping gotaway numbers highlight the fact that every single day there are huge numbers of people trying to sneak into this country without being caught. that plays out here very often in the rio grande valley. look at the images just taking place this morning right here in mission where we are. texas dps troopers and border patrol arrested a group of
8:04 am
illegal immigrants in mission who crossed over disguise as bicycle riders. they had helmets, bikes with them and dressed in bike clothing to blend into the exercise crowd in a park area and they were arrested and taken to custody. we'll mention the pursuit at the top. this is out of a county in texas. the large group of illegal immigrants bailing out of the human smuggler's vehicle and run off into the brush as the texas dps trooper gives chase. the driver floors it. she goes taking off and is evading. i'm told the speeds of this pursuit hit 110 miles-an-hour before that driver lost control, flipped the car -- the truck. she goes running off into the brush as well. as she is running troopers notice and you'll see on the camera she reaches into her waistband and eventually taken
8:05 am
down by a trooper and she had a pistol tucked into her waistband. thankfully troopers got it away from her before she was able to potentially use it. she was arrested and charged with human smuggling as well as felony evading. to arizona, another major fentanyl bust. cbp officers at the port of entry seizing 75,800 vent nall pills as well as 40 pounds of meth in a smuggler's gas tank. in arizona another child molester arrested at the southern border. this was in border patrol tucson, arizona sector, a mexican national. he was previously convicted in 2009 for lewd acts with a child in the state of california and back out here live that just goes to show why those gotaway numbers are so concerning. one more thing. texas governor abbott will be
8:06 am
here kin the rio grande valley announcing he will build more texas border wall and has another border announcement he would like to make. we don't know what it is yet. send it back to you. >> harris: we'll cover it all. that's good news about the border. he is being persistent in that. somebody has to. for all the reasons that you just showed us. bill melugin, great reporting as always. thank you. republican senator tom cotton of the great state of arkansas. i mentioned moments ago that you are on the senate intel, armed services, judiciary. as i cover the crisis at the border, it is almost like all those things are intersecting now. when you have people coming across two borders we need intelligence, don't we? >> good morning, harris. border security is national security. if you don't have a border you don't have a country. and as bill melugin again excellent reporting indicated,
8:07 am
there are terrible depraved criminals, drug traffickers, child rapists coming across our border every day. recently we've caught almost 40 people on the terror watch list. how many people do you think got away? will there be another 9/11 in this country because of open borders? you are right this is a national security threat in addition to being a threat to communities with crime and drugs and threatening the jobs of hard working americans. joe biden needs to take steps to close the border and not come and should be deported and no efforts at immigration reform in the congress until immigration laws are changed to control our borders. >> harris: what i also hear you saying and many republicans and some democrats, everything has to wait until we can stop the flow coming into this country. you can't handle what you have right now. i don't even know how we could prescribe and then pass
8:08 am
legislation that would help until we get a handle on it all. >> in the first two years of the biden administration alone we have had almost 6 million people enter our country. many are given work permits to go into communities and take jobs, often time jobs are low skilled and harm working class americans. i don't have much time for people who claim that we need to increase the number of green cards or increase immigrant worker visas at a time when joe biden has let 6 million people in the country. until we get control of our southern border we should not take any further steps on immigration reform. >> harris: one quick one. as we are learning now about the illegal crossings in the last three months being more than they were in the last two years on our northern border, what are your immediate thoughts? >> as i often say in this environment every state is a
8:09 am
border state and town whether on the next can border or another border with troubling new reporting because again the people coming here are not simply coming here and putting strains on the job markets, schools and hospitals and housing. in some cases they are depraved criminals, child rapists, gang members, drug traffickers and even terrorists. whether they cross the southern or northern border it poses a grave threat to the american people. >> harris: let's talk about the debt ceiling. treasury secretary janet yellen has a warning for people. she says it is disastrous economic consequences we face if congress does not raise the nation's debt ceiling this summer. here is what she told axios. in the event of a default we'll have a financial crisis and recession in the united states. yellen's remarks come as the biden administration is trying to pressure house republicans to raise the debt ceiling as fast as possible.
8:10 am
however, the house g.o.p. is saying it wants sharp spending cuts to address the debt ceiling. let's watch the house speaker kevin mccarthy. >> i want to find a reasonable and responsible way that we can lift the debt ceiling to take control of this runaway spending. if you look at the last four years, the democrats have increased spending by 30%. $400 billion. we're at 120% of gdp. we haven't been in this place of debt since world war ii. we can't continue down this path. >> harris: what is the answer to go forward in your estimation? >> i agree with speaker mccarthy and every house republican we shouldn't have a default but shouldn't simply lift the debt ceiling without taking some steps to address runaway domestic spending we've seen in the country under democrats over the last couple of years. the most simple way to do that would be to rein in some of joe biden's extreme plans.
8:11 am
you heard janet yellen say we'll have a debt ceiling hit this summer. joe biden is trying to spend a trillion dollars on the reckless student loan bail-out to benefit left wing universities that have raised tuition and fees and hundred thousand of administrators. we shouldn't cut defense spending at a time chain camera is threatening our allies and russia launched the largest ground war in europe since world war ii. we saw that in 2011. we need to fund defense to face the threats around the world. >> harris: quickly, you say don't default. what is your leverage as republicans would be my first question? the president won't negotiate with any of you. >> he and the democrats say that right now. it is an irresponsible and cynical position. the fact of the matter is for decades the debt ceiling has often been a time for congress to take steps to try to rein in
8:12 am
out of control domestic spending. his own boss did it in 2011. at times it has work, at times it hasn't. there is no time like the present to address some of that runaway domestic spending that speaker mccarthy was talking about. you can't balance the budget overnight when the deficits are so large but we can begin to take steps forward to try to improve the fiscal picture for our country. >> harris: senator tom cotton of the great state of arkansas, it is a big two steps ahead we have on that subject. the previous one, though, seems like we're fast going in the wrong direction like never before with the border. i'm so glad you were on to talk with me about all of it. thank you. >> thank you, harris. >> harris: we've been covering the after math after the killing of tyre nichols and the release of body cam footage last friday night. it is reigniting a push for serious police reform among some and a push for america to come
8:13 am
together. plus gas prices are ticking back up. our reserve oil stockpile at a 40-year low. prices go back up because the man on the left of the screen, the president, doesn't get when you draw down the reserve you have no place else to go. the american public knows it. republicans are accusing our commander-in-chief of waging war on energy in america. >> if you are going to take out of the spr, you have to have a plan to replenish it. >> what happens if we need it now? >> the american people want and demand affordable and available energy, reliable energy. big exp. aww. [ audience cheers ] maybe try switching your car insurance to progressive. you could save hundreds.

8:18 am
>> harris: video from the deadly beating of tyre nichols sparking outrage across the nation.
8:19 am
protests remain mostly peaceful according to officials we talked with. some of the video would let you know it wasn't 100%, though. that over the weekend after memphis police released the body cam footage of what happened on friday. the five former officers seen in the video are due in court next month. they have all bonded out at this point. they are out. they'll go to court. the attorney representing the nichols family is calling for full accountability from the police force. watch. >> we know that there were other members of the community that had been assaulted by this scorpion unit. one young man who said he was assaulted just 4 or 5 days before tyre was killed. he tried to report them twice to the memphis police department. his calls were not returned. >> harris: let's get the latest on the ground in memphis, tennessee from charles, watson.
8:20 am
a lot of people did hear tyre's mom calling for peaceful protests. some didn't. >> that's right, harris. the protests were largely peaceful. there were a few folks in places like new york city who didn't listen to those calls for peaceful protests. before we get further into this story i want to mention that we're just learning -- we just confirmed that a sixth officer has been relieved of duty pending an investigation. not clear what his involvement was with the beating of tyre nichols. a sixth officer has been relieved of duty. as for the five former memphis police officers who are charged with second degree murder in the death of 29-year-old tyre nichols, they are expected to be arraigned next month on february 17th. with the release of that brutal body cam video. i want to warn our viewers it is graphic and hard to watch. there are a lot of questions about whether others will be --
8:21 am
face charges as well. the video shows officers participating in a savage beating of nichols where he is kicked, punched, pepper sprayed and struck with a baton time as he is left seemingly defenseless. you see other officers show up on scene and just stand around as the bloody nichols is left to wait more than 20 minutes for medical attention. at least two memphis fire department employees and two shelby county sheriff's deputies have been relieved of their duties pending an internal investigation. >> you can't just go to a scene like that where your co-workers are beating somebody to debt and stand around with hands in your pocket. that's not good enough. that's just like committing the crime yourself. >> we mentioned it a few moments ago protests in memphis and other cities across the country remain largely peaceful at the request of nichols' family who described nichols as someone
8:22 am
non-violent, a father to a 4-year-old and loved to skateboard and watch the sunset. his mother says she is determined to get justice for her son. take a listen. >> i'm not going to stop until every person that had anything to do with my son's death is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. i hate the fact that it was five black men that actually did this to another black man. my son probably was their age. >> at least some of the officers who were involved in the savage beating of nichols were part of the memphis police department scope scarpian union. that unit has been defunded. the family will be at the state of the union next week. >> harris: the big news right
8:23 am
now and fox news alert we would have done is the sixth officer now relieved of duty. i know you said at the beginning, charles, you don't have any details of that. i'll have the team dig in at this point. that is something we were waiting on. we knew it was out there. now the next steps will be naming that person, i would imagine, and exactly finding out perhaps how connected he was to the death of tyre nichols, if at all. we'll see. charles, thank you very much. let's move now. gas prices are back on the rise ahead of a key federal reserve meeting this week. today the average cost for a gallon $3.50. that's up $0.33 from 30 days ago. experts are warning that could reach $4 by march. posing major trouble for the feds' inflation fight. critics are going after the biden administration's energy policies and how it is draining some of the policies our nations strategic petroleum reserve.
8:24 am
the president keeps tapping like like it's a keg. >> petroleum products per me at every part of the american economies. larger supplies will bring down prices and make it affordable. joe biden is happy to sell the reserve to china. wants to use the national security tool for short-term gasoline political price manipulation. and cares not one witt that we are still a million barrels a day short from where we were back in 2019. >> harris: nobody lays it out quite like larry kudlow. edward lawrence is live at the white house. i can't wait to learn all the details now since larry spoke a couple of hours ago. what's going on with the white house, the gas prices are going back up. the president said it wasn't going to happen. >> he did and said it was his policies taking credit when they
8:25 am
came down. i asked the question of the white house press secretary and energy secretary and going back up, does he get credit for that as well? no, it was everything else. opec plus, climate change and weather events we've been dealing with here. the president said he is working on all fronts to try to bring gas prices back down. republicans are pointing out that's not necessarily the case. now the house passed a bill that would require the energy secretary to expand oil production if they tap the strategic petroleum reserve for a non-emergency event which is what happened with the gas prices. listen to supporters of that bill. >> with this plan, the bill that just passed we have got to refill the strategic petroleum reserves. they are down 40%, the lowest level since i've been alive. and we have got to have a plan to have energy independence in this country. under president trump we were the largest lng exporter in the
8:26 am
world. no reason why we can't reverse some of biden's policies and be a net energy exporter. >> they said they have a plan, the white house does, to refill that reserve between 67 and $72 a barrel. pretty expensive for oil, harris. >> harris: let's pause there for a second. how are we going to refill the reserves when the president has put the brakes on everything that would help us refill the reserves, magic? >> that's part of the problem. they're waiting for the price to drop a little bit. you may remember democrats back during the former administration, the trump administration, blocked president trump from adding to the strategic petroleum reserve at $24 a barrel. now trying to fill it up at 67 to 72 a barrel. they have to get around to it. the energy sector defended that position and where things are with this reserve. listen to what she said.
8:27 am
>> today the spr remains the largest strategic petroleum reserve in the world and with our plans to refill it at the lowest -- at lower prices than what we sold at, the use of the spr not only saved americans money but these releases will end up delivering a return for taxpayers. >> it's still pretty expensive, the oil. look at the gas prices. $3.50 on average, up $0.33 from a month ago but up $1.11 from when president joe biden took office. that is a huge increase of what people were doing from the day he took office and no change at all from this white house for energy properly sees at all. >> harris: what you always remind us of are all of the months basically a year in between the time that trump left office and when the numbers started to come back down. what you just showed us. there was a lot of time when gasoline was $5 a gallon in this
8:28 am
country. >> and inflation at 9%. >> harris: how is biden's relationship with opec and saudi arabia these days? >> not so good. the review the white house is doing over the relationship with opec. opec is going to have a meeting on wednesday to talk about where they will put oil production. they will possibly leave it where it is what experts are saying because the demand for oil is now going up. you have china reopening and that is part of the issue for gas prices going forward is that as china wants more oil, you have the same amount being produced around the globe. therefore the price goes up. >> harris: wow. and all of this it feels like a war on energy in america is being driven by democrats. if they want to show us it's not, i'm right here. thank you, edward. a veteran democratic advisor warning biden's 2024 run could be all but over in the wake of the classified document scandal.
8:29 am
democrats say they won't back down. >> this is merely the weakness of kevin mccarthy. >> politically motivated. >> put a target on our backs and the backs of our families and real life consequences. >> harris: they lost their seats on committees and upset with the speaker of the house. but will mccarthy have the votes to keep them off the committee is the next hurdle. power panel next. ♪

8:34 am
>> harris: apparently it's enough to bring people together. democrats un-- documents uncovered at the homes of president biden, former president trump and former vice president pence now have dems and republicans on the senate
8:35 am
intel committee with the same complaint, the intel chair mark warner, a democrat and republican vice chair marco rubio say they still have no timeline for when they can see the documents and they want to know what's in them. >> our job is to make sure there is not an intelligence compromise. the notion that we will be left in limbo and we can't do our job cannot stand. >> if those documents were sensitive and materials were sen tifshs and impose a national security threat to the united states, then the intelligence agencies are tasked with job of coming up with ways to mitigate that. >> harris: a bipartisan group of lawmakers, not just the ones worried. a new poll finds 2/3 of americans who took the poll are concerned about the handling just in general of classified documents by the former president, biden and trump. the document debacle is fueling speculation about biden's
8:36 am
potential 2024 run and a former clinton advisor as a warning. >> biden can be defeated in the democrat nomination. it affects biden and goes way beyond classified documents. i think it will be the end of it for biden. >> harris: doom. washington times opinion editor charlie hurt is here and former congressman harold ford junior fox news contributors. i will start with you. i have heard you say on this very network that this is, in fact, a problem for biden. yes, it can be for everybody. he is the incumbent. >> first off thanks for having me on and happy monday. i think whenever anyone handles classified documents in a way that they aren't supposed to be handled is a serious issue. i listened to his comment and entitled to his opinion and he could very well be right. what i'm most relieved by is two things.
8:37 am
one, that you have a bipartisan set of voices on the intelligence committee saying they would like to get a risk assessment here because both mr. rubio and warner said over the weekend the country deserves to know it and if there needs to be mitigation we should move forward on mr. trump and biden. they haven't gotten a briefing on either. it is serious for the country. i hope the white house will give them the briefings they're asking for. >> harris: is any of this compounded by the fact that both of those former presidents have special counsel and investigations are opened? charlie? >> i think yeah, i do think it does. and by the way i also agree with harold and i think that mark warner is exactly right. this is not about classified -- handling of classified documents that may or may not contain national secrets as much as about actual national security. and the reason i think that is so important particularly when
8:38 am
it comes to in my estimation, the documents that -- democrats have made unsported claims of donald trump were somehow a violation of national security but offer no real evidence of that. the real question is when you have joe biden taking these documents and having them lying all over his houses and garage and everywhere over the past six years where you have a son who has access to these documents who is clearly selling access to the government and maybe -- we don't know -- maybe national security secrets, it becomes a huge problem. it is not about the actual classification of documents and the handling of them as much as it is about national security. mark warner is right about that. bipartisan fashion they need to get to the bottom of that question for both trump and biden. >> harris: for biden -- he is the one that would have taken those -- that was 15 years ago
8:39 am
he was in the senate. that's part of the problem. those things have been passed around like we don't know where they've been or what movers moved them from here to there. harold. >> i would agree. again it begs the question and why i think both mr. rubio and mr. warner are right. they also raise the prospect of maybe we classify too many documents. i that i question. >> harris: obama thought that. he tried to address that notion so that more people could declassify their own. but the fact of the matter is so far the only person we know who had top secret documents, foreign intelligence on iran and china and ukraine was the current sitting president biden. all right. let's move on. >> i don't know if that's a fact, harris. >> harris: that's what has been reported. we don't know what's in everybody else's but that is what has been confirmed. three house democrats are not backing down aftem from their
8:40 am
committees. here is a bit. >> this is b.s. null weaponizing his ability. >> i don't accept the premise that it has to do with done duct. >> the weakness of his speakership. >> to smear someone and their character, love for their country and the work that they get to do on a committee is wrong and it is politically motivated. >> harris: that's that weird reference that eric swalwell made to bakersfield is where mccarthy is from. he spit it out like it was a tv show but a beautiful area of california. so funny. you sao march there. i want you to see this. she claimed ignorance when confronted with the allegations of anti-semitism. let's watch.
8:41 am
>> i certainly did not or was not aware that the word hypnotize was a trope. i wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about jews and money that has been very enli enlightening part of this journey. to insinuate that i knowingly said these things when people have read into my comments to make it sound as if i have something against the jewish community is so wrong. my work is clear. the collaboration and work that i do with my jewish colleagues is very clear. >> harris: just so we don't get the words twisted let's use her own tweets from the congresswoman in 2021. this is what she said. six years later she defended her original comment drawing attention to the apartheid is
8:42 am
the regime is far from hating jews. if she thinks she can speak out the words i've been leading on anti-s anti-semitism. >> i'm not a defender for her because i don't know her. i think people have an opportunity should grow and i hope 10 or 11 years ago or five years ago i hope she has grown. i do hope some level at some point the tit-for-tat in politics stops. democrats were wrong to do this in the last congress to some of the republican members. and i think it's wrong to do this to these members. mr. mccarthy has a right to do it. when he gets to a vote to remove omar from her committee if he has the votes to do this. >> harris: you don't think this is a good enough reason for him to do that? we have -- it is a short show.
8:43 am
we could do a slow scroll and fast scroll. there is so much material on her with this. >> we could do that with taylor greene. i hope people grow. if she showed those same views. what she said before was wrong. if she did not atone for that you're right. if we focus on a member of congress being removed it should be the fellow from new york. >> harris: charlie, i see you shaking your head. >> ilhan omar is indefensible the comments she makes are indefensible and it is pretty rich to listen to her claim that the reason that people are against her is because she is muslim. that's disgusting. it is not true. it is because of the stupid vile things she said. but i will say this. i don't think that she should be kicked off her committee because she says vile things. the best way to deal with this is for her -- for democrats to throw her out of the party or
8:44 am
republicans to beat her in a general election back home. that's the problem. whether we like her or not she represents 750,000 voters back home and we have to deal with that and she has a voice. >> harris: you mention the gentleman from new york and respond to that. i assume you talk about george santos, go ahead, charlie. >> oh yeah, i put george santos in the same category. whether we like it or not he represents 750,000 voters back in new york and he needs to be beaten at the polls. >> harris: good to see you both, gentlemen. thank you very much. power panel. the house oversight committee gearing up for its first showdown under chairman james comer, watch. >> we want to have this hearing to begin with to show the american people what evidence is on the laptop and show the american people that the federal government tried to suppress this story.
8:45 am
>> harris: the laptop, hunter biden, the classified documents, joe biden, and social media's attempts to cover it all up. we'll get into it with the federalist editor in chief molly hemmingway after the break. who has starred in good will hunting too fast, too furious and the current hit show yellowstone. beyond his impressive career, he is a proud supporter of the tunnel to towers foundation. i was able to spend some time with cole and his family to reflect on those who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedom. i know how much you care about america and our veterans and all the things. but you have such a platform now. yeah. and to share that with us that we need to get the word out that we have to take care of these great heroes and their families. you know, as i started to be more and more successful, i was like, how can i help? but when i heard of the tunnel of the towers,
8:46 am
and i met brandon in idaho and his family, i was like, wow. there's actually a charity where we know where the money's. going to go. we have 95.1% of every dollar goes to our programs. and i think brandon's a great spokesman for t2t and and his wife, shannon, has two daughters. i mean, oh, my god. they're just special families. so pretty much, if you put your life on the line, if something goes bad, they're there. that's awesome. yeah. they're incredible people, man. you saw all the stuff we put in these homes, right? i was i was blown away. and they deserve it. they earned it. this is not of course, we give them a mortgage free home, but look what they gave up. they gave up their bodies so, cole, why should americans give donate help? tunnel to towers foundation. i mean, is there any better organization to help the people that has fought for this country and the freedoms that we have? it's that simple. it is that let's take care of each other. and you're going to join us on that mission.
8:47 am
thank you. hey, i'm cole hauser. i want you to join me in supporting our nation's heroes and their families. it's only $11 a month. go to t2t dot org.

>> harris: house oversight committee chairman james comer is preparing for his first major hearing next week. three former executives are set to testify about why twitter where they work sensored the "new york post" report on hunter biden's laptop before the 2020 election. also under renewed scrutiny the emails of hunter biden. specifically those that dealt with the deals with the ukrainian energy company burisma. one republican senator told fox news hunter's emails look like they contain sensitive information. >> that email did help get him on the board of burisma and helped get him paid $83,000 a month because it showed a level of expertise not coming from him but he was getting it from somewhere. that's clearly from some sort of briefing. the obvious question is what was he cutting and pasting from and what was his source and it raises the natural inference that hunter biden had direct

access to these classified documents. >> harris: oh boy. the "new york post" is reporting that hunter biden tried to turn his parents' home into an office while they were classified documents laying around. remember, laying around. it took agents 13 hours to find what they found on a second search. hunter biden and his assistant have what's in the storage sent to my parents' guest house. molly hemingway, editor in chief of the federalist and fox news contributor. you have been telling us through your reporting all along that there was a connection. and now have you found it? >> well, that is what makes the biden classified document issue so much more interesting that the other ones we're dealing with as well because it does give us much-needed information into this biden family business. we have known for a long time that members of the biden

family, which hunter biden have made careers out of joe biden spending his entire life in washington, d.c. this document scandal helps us see how that biden family business was able to generate income. it was through not just the proximity to joe biden but it looks like getting key information that may have been classified and how that was able to be made into an income stream for the biden family. that's what is so interesting and probably what this -- the u.s. attorney in delaware is looking into. there were probably documents subpoenaed as part of the probe and explains why lawyers were digging around in the university of pennsylvania offices and also why the went and looked into this biden family house where hunter biden publicly says he was doing business. >> harris: what's interesting, the phrase you used, the biden family business. what exactly is it?

does the artwork factor in, too? those pieces of hunter biden's are selling for a lot of money. >> it is interesting so many families who are connected politically to washington, d.c., their family members make money. they sit on boards of foreign companies. people need a way to send money or funnel money to the family for favors to be named later. so of course the hunter biden art scam is something that is extremely lacking in scruples. they claim it is anonymous. they say it's an anonymous contribution to his art or purchase of his art as if the lack of transparency makes it better instead of far worse. we know nothing about who are the entities giving this money. how foreign are they? what are they looking for in exchange? it is something that many people in the media have not been very interested if looking into, which is a different posture they took with the previous
