4:06 am
biden family member who received a cut of money wired from a chinese firm to a hunter biden business associate. >> brian: so the white house now labeling the findings as disgusting attack. >> ainsley: mark meredith is live from washington with the latest from us. mark? >> ainsley, steve and brian, good morning to all three of you. house on the house oversight committee say they have been looking into the biden business dealings now for several years but they just received some banking records which they say detail how money from a chinese energy company eventually reached multiple members of the biden family. they released this report that came out on thursday that shows that multiple members of the biden family through a biden family associate received some $1.3 million in payments over a 2 year period from 2015 to 2017. the records show even the president's daughter-in-law received $35,000 back in 2017; however, it's unclear what the money was for. we are hearing from the chairman of the committee, congressman james comer who says these records only raise more questions.
4:07 am
>> all biden's defenders have said this is a business deal. this is a business deal. there is no business. they were influence peddling. it looks like they were getting money for some type of service. i don't think hunter biden can provide the type of supervisors that would generate millions and millions of dollars from the chinese communist party. but i believe his father could. >> the white house pushing right back with a statement on thursday saying after a disgusting attack lamenting that the president's deceased son beau has never prosecuted now deciding to go after beau's widow. hearing from hunter biden the president's son. hunter you, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors joined several business partners seeking a joint venture with a privately owned legitimate energy company in china. the white house likely to face a lot more questions about this heading into the weekend and, of course, this investigation by the house oversight committee shows no signs of wrapping up. the committee says that they're continuing to look to see whether or not there was any
4:08 am
ethical rules or laws that may have been broken. and they also say that they are continuing to find out where all of this money may have come from. steve, ainsley and brian, back to you guys on saint patrickens day. saint patrick's also at the white house. we have the irish prime minister stopping by a little later on. >> brian: no press availability right, mark? >> we will see the president today. in fact, we are the pool coverage today so we are hoping to be in the oval office when he welcomes the prime minister three hours from now. >> brian: can you scream a question? >> steve: jean-pierre says you will be able to shout questions what are you going to ask him norges shortage of questions. really have to follow up today on the incident with the drone in the black sea. it's just such a wild story as well. >> ainsley: and the banks. >> steve: we will be watching you scream at the top of your lungs. >> ainsley: are you wearing green? >> i got dressed in the dark. my wife brought our 1-year-old in at 1:00 a.m. >> steve: you are blaming the baby? >> i'm sorry. >> ainsley: we can all relate to that we do not want to wake up
4:09 am
the baby. >> brian: mark, you have a chief of staff that can run home in between hit that you could send a producer. >> i don't make the kilmeade money so unfortunately i have to serve as my assistant as well. >> brian: i forgot about that. such a salary disparity. >> happy saint patrick's, guys. >> steve: thank you, mr. meredith. there is a lot we don't know but what we know according to the house oversight is apparently $3 million was wired to a biden family associate, a guy by the name of rob walker and he divided up the money. and this is how the money went down. a million dollars went to a business partner of hunter by the names of james gilyard. then rob walker got 869,000. hunter got 610,000. james biden, the president's brother got 360,000 and hallie biden, the widow of beau got 25,000. remember, this was a couple of months after joe biden let the office of vice president.
4:10 am
we don't know exactly why this payment was made. and that's what the house oversight committee is trying to figure out. ain't ainsley 25. okay. mark said 35, right? this article says 25, too. you are right. >> brian: two separate payments. i have 35,000. two transfers in total. so they also say the bank account also identify in the records one name of biden. so everybody else got first and last names. hunter's real name is not hunter. did i not know that they just list biden without a first name that's kind of odd. 2017 the first time you see references to the big guy. the big guy is referenced by tony bobulinski as well as james gill ladder. ggilyard: bank records that the secretary of treasury was holding on to and now she can't. miranda devine was with me earlier and she talked about how this is all coming together. >> well, it just shows that hallie, who worked at a primary
4:11 am
school there in delaware as a guidance counselor didn't have any expertise any more than hunter did to work on these big international business deals. it's just a kickback for joe biden's immediate family members. this was an arm of the president xi jinping's beltran road initiative and that's his way of trying to ensnare the rest of the world with bribery. we know from hunter's former business partner tony and multiple evidence from the laptop that this money was being paid for work that had been done opening doors and influence peddling around the world by the biden family and their associates like rob walker. on behalf of the chinese communist party. >> steve: so, the republicans are following the money. but they have not yet, you know, uncovered any evidence of any
4:12 am
wrongdoing. it's not illegal to do business with china. we don't know why they got all the $3 million they are trying to put it all together. not illegal to do business with china. look at apple. look at intel. look at tesla. >> >> brian: president biden to have all this experience and bring to the table and circumvent us as the number one super power. evil intentions on taking they would take hong kong and then taiwan and have no problem dealing with china, an energy company associated with a communist government whose beltran road program was there for influencing nations that we oftentimes would have stakes in from pakistan throughout africa. we know what that program would ultimately do. so you have to wonder what business they had. people are upset that ivanka was selling handbags. can you imagine influence peddling? using your name in one of our number one enemy economic and military power? this, to me, on the surface, if
4:13 am
that's my son and my brother and my daughter-in-law, i would say excuse me, cease and desist. what about france? doesn't australia have anything to invest in? can we invest in a building in america? do we have to deal with a communist party? and what do they want in return for this? and can i mention you have no expertise in anything they want except my last name. >> ainsley: that's what congress is saying about the guy that biden has put up for the faa. for the federal aviation administration. they don't like him. they say he is great guy. but they don't want him in that position because he has no experience flying planes. >> steve: right. he -- phil washington is the man's name. there he is right there. he has been the ceo of the denver airport. he ran that but, before that, he was apparently the ceo of the l.a. metro system. but he was also the head of the biden transportation transition team. so he has some political, you
4:14 am
know, background. so that obviously is why they put him up for this job. but just because you run an airport does not mean you know how airplanes run. and that is why 14 republican lawmakers who all have -- they all have their pilots licenses. >> ainsley: 14 of them. >> steve: asking the president to withdraw this nominee to run the federal aviation. no aviation. >> brian: never worked for airline or air traffic control never was -- probably was in an aircraft. but now you have mike rounds and ted bud leading the charge of 14 republican pilots who said this guy should not be running this position, should not be in the faa at a critical time we watched about five near misses over the last six weeks. he sent a letter. he honorably served our nation in the army. did he not serve in aviation unit. is he not a pilot. he has zero aviation safety experience and entirely unqualified to lead the federal agency responsible for keeping
4:15 am
the flying public safe. the faa cannot afford to be led by someone who needs on the job training especially at a time when our aviation system is facing tremendous safety challenges such as multiple near misses by airlines and the first nationwide ground stop of aircraft since 9/11. ted cruz says he is woefully unqualified. but, unless a democrat jumps ship, they have the majority to pass him through committee. >> steve: well, it is such a specialized business and, brian, you mentioned the near business misses and stuff like that. you want to think that the guy runs the department knows how stuff works. >> ainsley: think if you are on a plane and god forbid it's going down. who do you want in charge? you want someone with experience. this guy doesn't have experience. i'm sure he is a nice person. but no experience flying planes. in addition to that, we are being told there are no air marshals on our planes anymore. >> brian: right. they are at the border. lanes. >> ainsley: the last three did have experience. billy nolan had a lot of experience. appointed by biden. steven dixon was appointed by trump h a lot of experience.
4:16 am
also an air force pilot and daniel he willwell appointed by trump and u.s. air force, reserve, operation dessert storm. >> brian: maybe is he a frequent flyer. >> ainsley: then you could do it. >> brian: you are right. >> steve: if this guy is confirmed, then is that really going to generate confidence in the system if a guy who does not have pilot experience is running the faa. >> brian: something to think about as we grace offully toss over to ashley. >> ashley: good morning, guys. see you start with this. the search is on for an american citizen who authorities think was kidnapped from her home last month in mexico. the fbi is offering a $20,000 reward for information on marie del lopez one sent a recording of her mother begging her to pay the ransom. meanwhile cbp data reveals 69 people on the fbi terror watch list were arrested for trying to enter into the u.s. so far this fiscal year. a total of 182 have been caught

4:25 am
place or the leaders were in a certain place, we could go get them, obviously. >> but the problem is we have no eyes and ears. that is the issue. that is what the commander is asking for in terms of support. he needs more capacity to observe what has taken place so he can stop those sanctuaries from forming. >> brian: i want to move over to the video we saw of the predator zone being taken out of sky cost of $50 million by it seems irresponsible russian jet that took some damage itself. we don't get an apology. we are not going to get our money back. we just get nothing but blinel rance from the russians. are you happy with our response? >> well, i think, first of all, the best response is -- i have got to believe we are flying the drones again, and if necessary, you know, put a fighter cap up to protect them, send a loud message. why are the russians doing this? we know now that their leadership decision was involved in this. this wasn't something that the tackle squadron level or at the
4:26 am
pilot level to harass them. >> this is a calculated move. right? because drones are providing exquit sit intelligence every single day to the ukrainian forces on what where are the russians and what are they preparing to do. they are the ukrainians eyes and other capacities out there doing the same thing. it's vital to the ukrainians. and, look it, the real punch in the eye to the russians here is give the ukrainians the a tack kim's. give them the f-16s could what poland is doing with the mig 29s. energize nato full capacity. what is happening on the ground, brian, is the offensive that started many weeks ago. not with a mask combined arms attack but smaller attacks, nonetheless, this is their often that has their moible blizzed forces in it. it has culminated this week because of too many casualties and a lack of forward momentum. the opportunity for the ukrainians to retake territory
