and on his farm, he had a pig. eeye. >> oh, well, some animals ares more equal than others as i say, he does have a little trouble with numbers, does he not?remember all right. that's it for us tonight.a foreveyou fonor watching. and remember, it is america now and forever. followpolice facing hunter coule charges in the justice department's investigation into tax evasion and illegal gun ownership. and we already know biden family members received over a million dollars in chinese

cash just months after joe left the obama white house firm saying that has a breakdown of what we expect to learn today. good morning, brooke. good morning. to have, ashleigh, lawmakers on the house oversight committee will reveal their findings about the biden family's overseas business dealings later this morning. chairman james comey joined us yesterday to preview today's press conference. >> we're going to present bank records tomorrow. >> we're going to also talk about

known i mean, this is not completely new. when we were in i was in congress. i mean, when the last election was going on, you were hearing these conversations. you saw the ukraine connections. you saw the china connections. these were all being late, but the mainstream media never picked it up. in fact, it was just pushed to the side. so today is putting it front and center for the american people to say, okay, make your own judgments here, and the white house statement about the committee's not investigating and transparency. were they talking about the democratic committees from last congress? uh, i don't

know. here. it's just really wild. i feel like this committee has done so much more in such a small amount of time than the democrats had their entire term. but i have to ask you this. you sat in this position in commerce position, he would not be saying what he's saying telling doj. hey, hold up on this until you see what we have, unless what he had was completely explosive information for them. correct me if i'm wrong on that, but i mean, do you think this could really lead to other indictments if they do hold off? well this is a scary part from my position in the judiciary having to work with doj. this is where this whole thing is, is sort of bottleneck if you would at this point, because the doj is not investigating everything that has been put before and that's been the problem all along. here's the concern. i have everybody keeps talking about the doj is imminent indictment of her on her own, you know, tax evasion of this gun charge. what about drugs? prostitution everything else. it's like, you know, take a pic here. there's a long list. but it just shows that why is that been so hard? why is the gun charge been so

hard? because you're looking at this. from a fact it's fiction is there. >> and so i think what the committee is trying to do is say, look, there's all this other information so that the outside world will and hopefully put some pressure on doj and merrick garland to say, we need to take this case seriously instead of what we're doing. i just like to point out that yesterday the news came out that george santos is going to be arrested under federal charges. boy, that happened pretty quick. i mean, he just got into office in january and boom, already we're already putting him in handcuffs, whereas unprovided, to your point, took a really long time. look, i agree with you. i think if the evidence is as as expected and the doj doesn't act, it's clear they are a 100% partisan organization. but still, joe biden is going to have to go on the road and campaign going into next year. how can he win an election if these charges are as as great as we were expecting them to be? well, there are many still asking that same question for two and a half years ago, how he wanted to start with by staying in the basement but never asking questions. what you're going to see is he's going to have to answer

in the white house is terrified of this is what the whole democratic democratic friends are saying. we really don't want to go into this election cycle with joe biden because no. one , he can handle these questions. even last night in his many press conference, because "the washington post" goaded him into it, his answers were just basically repetitive and over and over. and he doesn't answer the real issues that we're going for. and when he has to start getting into questions he doesn't like, he will get mad . and this is going to be a problem for them. it'll be cleanup on alpha four any time he goes out and tries to explain how hunter biden, how he's done everything right and he's so very proud of his son . but yet you have this long list of things that he's done. >> it's taken abbe lowell around the block to try to present this in a cogent way. and he's a really good attorney no matter what you think of it. joe biden, not a really good attorney . i've spent all of my life trying to pass the chaplaincy through members, congress and being a lawyer. there's no way there's enough words to try and spin hunter biden into looking good. well, we do have to switch gears now to the debt ceiling. this has also been a very

hot topic in congress. so president biden and house republicans are preparing to meet again friday on their debt ceiling after negotiations came up short yesterday. >> here is speaker mccarthy. let's listen to this and we'll talk about it. unfortunately, in this meeting, i heard nothing new . i literally asked the president personally, do you believe there's any place in government we could find savings? i didn't find progress in this meeting. >> staff will continue to meet and we'll get back together on friday and hopefully the president then can change the path of the last ninety seven days. >> sometimes i wonder what in the world are they doing in congress? so we get back together and get back . we're going to talk. so say the government does run out of money in a couple weeks. hypothetically speaking, if they cannot come to an agreement, how does that fall back on the american taxpayer? >> well, it falls back on a lot of things because you have the downgrade of the country putting in risk. you'll see the interest rate that we are. credit rating was downgraded in 2013 when this went through this the last time.

you will see it as a trickle effect right on down in the markets, the banking markets, financial markets is a lose value. those kind. but the problem here is , is this is look, let's face it, this debt is already spent. okay, we're not talking about raising a kafirs of money that we want to spend. this money has already been spent. so this debt would have to be raised because we've already spent this money through the previous two hundred plus years. that's how we got here. what he's looking for and what i think the republicans have got to do is get a win here, get something out of the house bill that they passed in one or two thing, and then move >> president biden: i've said all along, discuss what we need to cut, what we need to protect, what revenue we can raise and how to lower the deficit to put our fiscal house in order. in the meantime, take the threat off the table.

>> biden, let's revert back to a number of years ago. biden was the ultimate deal maker called on at the last minute to shuck and jibe and come to an agreement. he voted against the debt ceiling, so this moral purity just doesn't exist. republicans put forward their plan and now in this part, you have one said, here is what we'd like to do, we will not do this, when the american people can say, look, you have to adjust your budget when something is not right. that would be a win for the republicans. they would declare victory and move on to the real issue, the spending. they are talking about projected

deficit cuts, this is where the smoke and mirrors comes in. this is not real money cuts. when joe biden says they cut 1.6, no we didn't. okay, i have a thousand dollars l left. i only have 1000. >> ashley: it is totally different. we have to get your take, the national champion georgia bulldogs declined to visit the white house because of the student calendar. we are appreciative of the invitation and look forward for other georgia teams moving forward. you are a georgia bulldog fan, what do you think about this? >> and two sons, i have put much money in. first off, go, dogs.

where was this invitation earlier this year? they had to point out they had never gotten an invitation. the draft has happened, the kids are gone. this is a biden administration, classic biden administration. we messed up, wait a few months to fix it. they turned us down. no. >> todd: georgia football and biden failure all in one. you are the tallest guest, one of our best guestses, we love having you in the studio. today is the deadline for the fbi to produce a subpoena document that lawmakers say puts president biden at the center of a criminal scheme. a whistleblower says the unclassified document contains evidence that implicated then vice president biden in the unspecified scheme as a federal prosecutor calls out the justice

department for investigating him instead of hunter biden when he discussed potential meetings with witnesses. >> i was approached by intermediaries and he said he wanted to come to the united states and make information to the proper law enforcement authorities. had they followed through and opened an investigation, i wouldn't blame them a bit to see what i might be up to. it seems perverse to only investigate me and turn a blind eye to potential evidence of serious stuff, bribery, i guess you could call it treason. >> todd: that is not how whistleblower protection is supposed to work. grassley saying, if the document is explosive as we heard, we expect it to be difficult to get it. he added the document has been

declassified. we'll see. >> ashley: thes house rules committee deciding to advance a bill securing the board, now set for tomorrow when title 42 expires in less than 24 hours. >> todd: lucas tomlinson live from the white house with the latest. lucas. >> lucas: good morning. president biden spoke about the end of title 42 last night. here is what he said. >> president biden: i spent close to an hour with the mexican president today. we're doing all we can. it is going to be chaotic for a while. >> the house rules committee tweeting just after 1 a.m. eastern, granted by vote of 9-4, hr 2, secure the border act. here is what ranchers are saying about the future of title 42 when it expires tomorrow. >> the groups continue to get bigger.

we've had groups of 30 come through the property and when you're out in a pasture by yourself, you may have a gun on you, which we do, but 30 people approach you, you're in trouble. and that is what is scary. >> lucas: members of border patrol want the administration to do more. agents are saying nothing like announcing dangerous people will be arrested and telling them where to run and hide to avoid arrest. this is a joke, a pr stunt. serious law enforcement leaders do not act this way. bill melugin says this is what is coming. the president of guatemala said he knows of 80's,000 internationals making their way to the u.s. border ahead of the dropping of title 42 and nobody at the white house would take his call.

the white house said venezuelan initiative was a success and resulted in drop of venezuelan nationals trying to enter the texas. here is monica dela cruz on special report. >> secretary mayorkas has said they have been expecting this for over a year. yet the biden administration has not done anything, especially when it comes to policy temperature is not about the money being thrown at the problem. it is about policy. >> lucas: senators tillis introduced legislation to extend title 42 for two years. >> todd: lucas, thank you. >> ashley: chicago mayor lori lightfoot declaring state of emergency over influx of migrants to the windy city. dozen of migrant families are camping inside the police station. resources at are at a breaking

point. governor kathy hochul issues state of emergency amid local uproar over new york city mayor eric adams to bus migrants to nearby suburbs. one such town serving moigz much violation is preparing to shelter migrants. the notice claims the site was being transformed to a new york city run shelter, which violates the certificate of occupyings for the hotel. >> todd: gavin newsom says he will not support reparation checks for black residents to compensate them for generations. it could have allowed pay out of 1.2 million per person. the program is not all about money, saying, dealing with that legacy is about more than carbpayment, many recommendations are critical action items we've been hard at

work. reparations task force is expected to send final proposal soon. if approved, those members would go to governor newsom desk and he would decide if to sign them into law. pay attention to that. another actor hitting the road out of california. >> i've watched southern california devolve into a third world country. i'm afraid to go to the mall, my wife and kid are afraid. >> todd: we'll tell you where scott baio is relocating. >> ashley: and making freedom and education, here to tell us what this is all about next. ♪

for everyone involved in the ev transition and members have a place to follow. >> ashley: local 14 president tony toddy joins us. i want to read this letter the union sent to workers last week. the federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition with no strings atachd and no commitment to workers. the ev transition is at serious risk of becoming a race to the bottom. do you feel like you are being left out by the biden administration? >> well, fortunately for us and good morning, thank you for having me. fortunately in toledo, that is not the case, we received an investment to make drive units. we currently make -- the concern the president is having is that

battery facilities, starting wages are low and don't top out at top wages here. when you look at an electric vehicle, the battery takes the place of an imagine. we are worried about the engine facility getting work. if we have trillions pumped into our country's infrastructure to adjust for ev's, those jobs need to be done in this country, not china or mexico and need to be within our agreements at traditional auto worker wage. >> todd: that all makes sense. take a step back, the fact the united auto workers union, the fact you are not endorsing blue-collar joe is a huge deal. do you feel in many instances his administration has been co-opted fors climate change

religion on his administration regardless of consequences to america and the american work sner >> this is the biggest transformation in the industry since inception. some may say we are pumping our brakes on joe. joe has been with us, if you look at 2009, through bankruptcy and the auto restructuring, we have our pensions today because of we didn't go through the hard bankruptcy many wanted us to go through. we know what we have in joe. same time, when you look at the ra, inflation reduction acts, there are benefits to companies to make vehicles here. wait a minute, what does this do to the auto worker? we're part of this equation, as well. record profitses and a lot we'll take care of at bargaining

sessions this year. it is a contract year. i know we have a process to endorse people and like you said, historically, we've endorsed the democrats and have a new president who is on a mission to listen to our members. we have republicans and democrats, we have endorsed republicans locally in toledo. so we're putting this like any other time through it ises process. >> ashley: youed you have a process to endorse the president, what are you personally looking for to for that endorsement? >> well, in 2020, joe biden made a stop at our loc sxal we were happy to have him. gave him a letter and told him part of build back better is not leave the workers getting the job done now behind.

he left a note saying you will not be left behind, i promise. since then good things have happened in toledo. our voices need to be heard by whatever candidate. if you look at the gop, they have not identified their nominee yet. so we have a long time between now and the election and we're going to run it through the process. >> ashley: i think we can all agree, if we're going to have climate change religion forced upon us, build this stuff in the us, not china, that directly helps our adversary defeat us in the end and that is not anything any american wants. tony totty, thanks. denied existence of a recruitment campaign that showed a drag queen as an ambassador.

months ago? >> it is upsetting, we need to step back and put ourselves in rg's shoes. check your privilege tlchl is a lot of folks who have gone through tough situations and she's not thinking about them. i've been through it, it opens your eyes, things are scary and people deserve to be afraid. >> todd: maria, you were sucker punched in central park by someone that seemed to be mentally ill whachl is your response to this nonsensical tweet? >> people have to ride the subway everyday, especially people who experienced violence on the subway and elsewhere in new york city. we have a city filled with essential workers and peep whole have to take early-morning trains. i ride the subway regularly, my family rides the subway.

try going to work at 7 a.m. in a hospital at different burrough, you have to take the train and it is condescending to say what people are experiencing is not safe. she talked about her child not experiencing problems on the subway and i think that is great she found way to commute that doesn't put her child in danger. as moth are of three children, it is important to make sure they have street smarts in how they commute around the city and interact with people in a dense place like new york city. make sure your kids are aware of surroundings. we've had violence on the subway and it doesn't serve anyone and is provocative to say it isn't

real thachl gas lighting is really doing a lot of damage to the city. the only way we'll move forward is to be honest about what is going on and only then address what is happening. >> todd: maria, it is not just this woman who wrote this tweet, there is a set of people in the city, many on the left who have this view that new york's fine and we'll tell you that new york is feign despite what your eyes tell you. why? why do you think they are committed to pushing this narrative there is nothing to see here? >> you know, i think they just don't want to face realities that we have a crime problem and they are to blame, basically. they are the ones in power and they are the ones bringing us these kind of policies that aren't prioritizing the safety of everyone in new york city, including people who are mentally ill and need proper

treatment. it is way to deflect and avoid the problem, the problem is we have leadership in the city not taking it seriously and it is reflected in the way they are g gaslighting. way to address this problem is to look it in the eye and say we have a problem here. >> todd: maria, thank you for your time. adam klotz, i always mention, you were my office mate and i was sad when this happened to you. i am glad you can bring this to light and talk about this. this is a serious thing and it shouldn't have happened. back to top story. house republicans calling it jchl day for the white house and james comer will unveil major findings from his committee's findings. >> ashley: we have had every angle covered right here on "fox and friends first." >> james: i think the department of justice would have questions
