head you said you'd post. >> forgot i promised that. i'm going to be like gavin newsom, i'm going to promise reparations in than not deliver. if you really want the bed head shot, you're going to get the bed head shots. that's all for us tonight. kaylee is up next, and always her member, i'm watters and thi is my world. >> welcome to fox news tonight. we come to you with a big breaking story. and a shocking press conference the house oversight committee laid out cleared evidence that vice president biden's family received $1 million from a corrupt romanian named grabbed gabrielle propos of it while he was vice president, just five weeks, think about the timing, five weeks after he met with th romanian president and spoke around anticorruption policies. here is what he was lecturing u about at the time.
5:01 pm
>> corruption is a cancer. cancer that eats away at a the citizens faith in democracy. corruption is just another form of tyranny. >> kayleigh: according to the new york post, the corrupt romanian wanted the help findin a conveyed mix stemming from real estate purchase. he previously told us in octobe of 2020 that his son hunter never received money from china. >> vice president biden there have been in for the ukrainian energy company when you were vice president in raid was anything about those relationships inappropriate or unethical? can keep my son has not made money in terms of this thing about what are you talking abou which i know. the only guy that made money from china is this guy.
5:02 pm
>> look at trumka, but not me. apparently, that was not true. >> they were looking to hide where the money was coming from. for example, they use their associate to bring in millions of dollars from china in romania . walkers limited liability, company paid hunter james, halle , and others in the biden network more than $2 million after four money hit his account . one third to the bidens, that was the pattern. on march 1st, 2017 to month after joe biden left office, robinson walker received a $3 million wire from state energy aj kate limited a chines entity per the next day, one third of that money $1,065,000 went to the bank account of the company eei g which was controlled by james gilead, another biden associate.
5:03 pm
over the next three months, robinson walker llc sends 16 incremental payments both to more than over five different biden accounts totaling $1,065,692. >> it's complicated, but what this amounts to is influence peddling plain and simple. its foreign entities filling th pockets of the biden family wit $10 million through a nebulous web of 20 different companies. it's an elaborate shell game an some of these transactions happen while joe biden was vice president. white house spokesman claims th oversight committee did not sho that any of these payments were personally made to joe biden. here is what we do know. john levine, who we had on this program last night, reported in the new york post in late augus that hunter biden met with his father multiple times while working for a romanian real estate tycoon accused of corruption.
5:04 pm
as for china, hunter biden went to an official government trip to china with his father in 201 as he was creating a chinese private equity fund. ten days after the trip, hunter received a chinese business license. did joe biden benefit from any of this? the white house denies it, you will recall that famous e-mail ten held eight by age for the big guy alluding to a 10 percen cut up a joint venture with tyner energy co. for the big guy . who was the big guy? we know that one of hunter bidens business partners referred to joe biden is the bi guy and cody bob belinsky publicly stated that the big gu was joe. >> and that e-mail, there is a statement where they go through the equity committee he is referenced as 10 percent, it doesn't say biden, it says jim, 10 percent for the big guy.
5:05 pm
i 1,000 sit here and know. >> so the question remains, did vice president biden personally seek any of the money while in office. the press is simply an interested pair. >> since he spent decades in th senate, served eight years as vice president and is now a vic president of the united states in the family is getting money from various countries in foreign businesses from various shell companies and this web of llcs, this is easy pickings. >> instead of the press asking joe biden who we disclosed a month ago, that through the robinson walker accounts, three or four biden family members ar getting at counts. somebody yelled out what you think about your family receiving money from china and he said that's not true great and nobody pressed him again.
5:06 pm
ticket this is house republican laying out these i'm shell allegations the department of justice decided to announce charges against george santos bird were expected to believe the timing of the doj actions are just a coincidence. not another example of deet state elements of our governmen conspiring to protect their own. if you ever needed proof that a deep state existed, just look a how the events unfolded today. we will have more on the charge against congressman santos late and they show. what's interesting is after republicans presented the explosive information to the press, what did the press decid to ask about? you guessed it, donald j trump. >> president from come running again, he has [inaudible] on a number of countries or in business dealings as well put. >> here on fox news tonight we will ask the questions and prob
5:07 pm
for the truth. jim jordan is the chairman of the house judiciary committee and joins us now. welcome. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> ian sams comes out of the white house and he says they didn't connect this directly to joe biden, what is your respons to that? >> joe biden said his family took no money from china in tha he was out talking about corruption in it looks like his family was receiving money from corrupt romanian in than you have the bigger picture, kayleigh where there were 170 suspicious activity reports. the stress the key word in that is suspicious. our treasury department put together the report based on banking transaction. some of those reports happen on when joe biden was vice president of the united state spread than you have the bank records that the committee looked at. this suspicious activity report and bank records all show there were multiple, multiple companies the biden family set up 20 some of these llcs
5:08 pm
receiving millions of dollars from foreign entity that is now paid out to members of the bide family, multiple members of the biden family you get to the fundamental question for what? what did they do come out what was their legitimate business? what value did they add, what service did they provide? and then to be created to oppressive interim, they have legitimate business. you can't find that when you're looking through all of these banking transactions and what the biden family was engaged in. to meet that's the fundamental tale here is what was the real work, what was the real value o business they were engaged in? >> we know, his skill sets are not quite that of the trump children. getting to this form, this fd t 23. this fbi form that connects joe biden to give him or his giving policy decisions in exchange fo cash, today, there was a 12:00 p.m. deadline, christopher ray was supposed to turn over the document and doesn't turn i over, his reason seem to be
5:09 pm
confidential human sources that we do not want to reveal and this is unverified information. what do you say back to the fbi director? >> there's always a reason for it seems like there's always some classified or confidential reason they can't give us information very i believe the american people are entitled to see we have a whistleblower, hugh senator grassley, who came to senator grassley that senato grassley thinks is incredible that says there's more than wha you describe. i want to see the farm, i want to see with the confidential source told the fbi and what they said that they saw in the system at the fbi. i would like to see that. we will see what happens. i know there will be conversations between us and th fbi and we will see where we go from here. senator grassley who is probabl dealt with more whistleblowers and his career actually wrote the whistleblower statute, he believes the whistleblower that came to him was credible. and when i spoke to a former do
5:10 pm
official and he said it is entirely within the apartment o justice, totally fair to ask them what you dealing with questions about this document, political appointment or has th special counsel, has his mandat expanded? you know if the special counsel is looking into it or the doj? >> i don't. i think that's a good question, but i don't know that. we don't know a lot about what they are up too. we will just have to wait and see. >> kayleigh: you put a lot together in four-month spread thank you so much. >> even as all of the new evidence mounts, still unclear whether he will face any charges , the justice department has clearly been sitting idle o the hunter case for months. there has been no indictment. what can we expect from the justice department going forward ? jonathan turley is a law professor ed rushing ten university. welcome. >> thank you very much.
5:11 pm
>> kayleigh: , jonathan, you mentioned the allegations. sarah is the statute under whic we saw paul manna fort go down for it and many others, rick gates, many others. do you think this might be the crux of where we can tie the facts to the law in this? >> i think the that violation i the one violation the white house does not want to see included because if you determine that hunter biden is in unregistered foreign agent, the question becomes what was h up for an agent for, it leads you directly into this influenc peddling operation. let's be clear about this. i've been a critic of influence peddling for three decades and i've never seen the like of the biden family. influence peddling is the biden family business. it always has been. the dc media tries hard to ignore it, but it's going to be hard to ignore it if you have a fear of violation for him
5:12 pm
serving for a agent as a foreig interest rate and the question is what is that foreign interes rate as you noted, paul manna fort was charged. and he was every leak we've had about these pending charges, an speculate the mitts it. you hear about a couple of tax charges, a possible gun charge, those are things that could be easily pleaded out very ticket you have such a way with words and i couldn't help, but chuckl when i read this tweet from you produce at the committee could produce eight heads in a duffel bag owned by hunter, in the media would still demand a luggage tag referencing the president. the media commentary on this or lack thereof is really astonishing isn't it? >> it is breathtaking. no matter how you feel about republicans or conservatives, about trump in biden, what was
5:13 pm
laid out today was deeply disturbing. this was an array of over 20 llcs that were created for a purpose that none of us can com up with. there is no real plausible reason why you would have these layers of llcs, these layers of accounts that are taking in money from foreign sources. then they are distributed to up to nine family members like these are dividends from a family business, even the grandkids got some of that money . you would think that any reporter would say well, okay, that's corruption just as vice president biden said, corruptio is corrosive to a democracy, bu the response today was really incredible. you had headlines like republicans admit they have nothing on president biden in you're looking at it going what? this is four months into an investigation.
5:14 pm
>> brilliant is always, thank you. the southern border is completely overwhelmed with migrants just as title 40 to is set to expire in just over 24 hours. chad wolf has been at the borde in as my former colleague. he joins as next to share this situation on the ground. so we'k helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive. ♪ they need their lawn back fast and you need scotts turf builder rapid grass. it grows grass 2 times faster than just seed alone. giving you a stronger lawn.
5:19 pm
♪ >> kayleigh: the border situation getting worse by the day is thousands of migrant repair to cross over when title 42 ends. we thought the biden administration was ignoring the problem, it's much worse than that. instead of fighting this urge, top border officials have decided to release more migrant into the interior just releasin them on the streets for the pla to flood the border cities with more illegal migrants. in other words the biden administration is not trying to end the crisis, they are encouraging it. the former acting director of the department of homeland security joins us now from el paso. welcome, chad. i am looking at the images behind you. you and i worked together in th trump administration i remember you'd come to the white house, he had a competent president wh work to fix the border and with
5:20 pm
great success he did, you did a department as department of homeland security secretary. now i'm looking, what are you seeing on the streets? i think i'm seen illegal immigrants just behind you. >> we are here at the catholic church for this is where a lot of the folks in el paso as they come into different shelters, their shelters are overrun so they are out on the streets, sleeping on the streets here in the alley and elsewhere. where just a little over 24 hours from title 42 ending so you will see more and more individuals coming across-the-board or because as you indicated the biden in administration isn't interested into closing this crisis. instead they are trying to manage this and trying to process more and more of these individuals into the country every single day and every single week. you're on the eve of title 40 t there's already a crisis here and other places along the border. come thursday at midnight you
5:21 pm
will see even more individuals coming. mainly single adults and mainly males furd that is the population the biden administration has been able to push back into mexico. you won't be able to do that anymore. instead they will be released into communities across the country. >> i can't help, but look at th scene behind you and el paso, president biden has been to the border once, and when he cleaned , they cleaned up the streets behind you to try to deceive the american people. i want to know your reaction when he said effective. he said we been effective on th border because i can't help but think there astroturf in your situation they made to look safe , but it is anything but. >> think the border is anything but effective. the department of homeland security has been anything, but effective. you have to talk to the border patrol agents. they've been under crisis for 2 months and see no end in sight
5:22 pm
and they are big in their political leadership to give them policies that work at the end of the day. i think if you come to el paso, the president was here a couple of months ago, the fact that he did not interact with any of these illegal aliens and the fact that they were cleaned up off the streets just tells you what it is, they didn't want to show him the truth because if you come to el paso today you will see a variety of migrants out here because there's nowher else to put them. texas has been overrun. other border states have been overrun. this is the reality and what happens when you don't have effective policies that deter and hold people accountable for illegal behavior. >> kayleigh: only 20 seconds here and you said there are 20000-40,000 illegal people waiting across-the-board or and wars, mexico. >> over 100,000 probably along the border from san diego to brownsville in texas. they are waiting for title 40 t
5:23 pm
to end. the cartels our messaging for them. the odds our you're not going t get pushed back into mexico you're going to stay in the united states and that's what they want at the end of the day. >> thank you very much, secretary wolf. what can congress do to stop this urge? senator marco rubio joins us with his insights. we have some breaking news coming out of the house, they have voted along party lines to pass a rules package to promote and pass through a bill that would quite a fight remain in mexico. what i can see it only seems to be republicans that are putting forth a solution actually getting a vote for your thoughts ? >> i think it's pretty bad there's 100,000 people near the border, but i wanted to know there's at least another 500,00 and that's what were getting from our friends in costa rica, panama, and columbia. you've seen a massive surge of people moving in that direction. this is not a one night thing it's not going to be tomorrow night at midnight everybody
5:24 pm
comes over and then it's done. there are people in transit, an route and you have all the cartels and trafficking network ready to pounce on this. here is a problem, this is it nation that offered asylum, but there is a prop point when the processes being abused. we have to change the criteria for asylum, right now people know if you come across the border and you asked for asylum you trigger a series of legal procedures that will largely fo the most part let you get released into the country pending an immigration hearing it sometime in the future that people don't show up for. the word is out and into clear. not to mention the disinformation that's being tol that tomorrow night it will be illegal to cross the border so we have an essence about ten thousands of people that are going to compared we've never seen this before. i think yesterday the number wa 11,000, i think that number wil double ended truly going to become, i think were headed
5:25 pm
toward a potential cataclysm that has no precedents. at this point it's almost too late to stop it because the policies have to this point perv . >> doubling numbers that are already at historic highs. me in welcoming you have two colleagues that today were chased down the halls of congress, we know what that's what the journalist to appear they were asked about title 40 to in the words were we are not ready for this. we need to extend it they say o their way to lunch. they seem a little late to the ballgame on this. >> extending it would be fine, but at this point, the truth of the matter is only about 30 percent of the people or less are being turned away at the border. that doesn't do anything about the huge surge of migration tha they are. that threatens to overwhelm us. all of this is happening becaus the perception and the reality that if you make it to the u.s. border and cross over, your chances of getting to state in the united states are very high even with title 40 to in place. without it, all that's done is create all that pent up demand
5:26 pm
over a shorter period of time. this has the potential to be a cataclysm. i think this is going to lead t all sorts of things that are under migrant uprisings,. >> meanwhile, my colleague is reporting that the biden administration is just going to let illegal migrants out on the streets if the ngos fill up and we know they will. senator marco rubio, thank you for joining a. the new bombshell allegations about hunter biden, the media went hysterical overcharges wit george santos. they are not even trying to hid their bias anymore. more on that coming up. we're talking about cashbackin. not a game. not a game! we're talking about cashbackin. we're talking about cashbackin. we're not talking about practice? we're talking about cashbackin. we're talking about cashbackin.
5:27 pm
we're talking about cashbackin. not a game! we've been talking about practice for too long. -word. -no practice. we're talking about cashbackin. we're talking about cashbackin. i mean, we're not talking about a game! cashback like a pro with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours.
5:31 pm
5:32 pm
peddling with foreign nations t the tune of tens of millions of dollars. you would think that the media would be interested in that. instead, they were busy going crazy over doj charges against freshman new york congressman george santos. >> congressman george santos in custody right now and we've jus learned he's facing those 13 federal counts. >> he represents everything tha is broken, about kevin mc carthy house gop conference. his name is george santos, and today his house of cards came tumbling down. >> george santos admitted to lying about his background arrested. >> 13 federal charges against a sitting member of congress. >> 13 counts, the justice department unveils an indictmen about serial liar george santos pricking federal prosecutors argued they he is guilty they say he is a buyer and a cheat and that they have got the good to prove it.
5:33 pm
>> got it, so ignored $10 million in potential paper plays schemes by the bidens, bu abscess over a freshman congressman. a columnist for the hill in he joins me, joe, i'm sure there was a ton of coverage over the press conference, right? >> must be opposite day. today, the cursory look at the homepage of the new york times right before you went to airshows that it is top six stories are focused on the george santos charges furd cnn, same deal. top six stories about george, anthony,. >> i like that you know his two middle names for it. >> you know, it's a thing. but, it gets no better at the washington post, democracy dies in darkness they are apparently. its top four stories are all about santos. or about diana feinstein coming back and has plans on having a lighter schedule moving forward.
5:34 pm
that's nice. may be she and john fetterman can go bowling sometime. joe biden took questions at the westchester airport and not one question was about that allegations, but he got a question about george santos, you get the idea, right? hunter biden, james biden, joe biden, any scandal or wrongdoin around them is the 11th commandment of journalism. thou shall not mention the thir rail, the forbidden fruit, and we saw that to date, george santos, those charges came out as we know on the same day that overhead's press conference and of course the media took the bait hook, blind, and sinker. >> the tarmac for my former bos president trump were a little bit different. we only had a few seconds on th other time of this, but i canno leave you without playing the fact that gayle king was outed by her guest. >> you have never wavered over these years the jury came back
5:35 pm
for many people surprisingly fast, what did you think when you heard their decision? >> i had the exact reaction you just had before the camera came on. you said when you heard it you went hooray, that's how i felt inside. every blood vessel in my body jumped up with complete and utter joy. it was a wonderful feeling. >> gayle king, hooray, she did. >> she did. she is gayle king that also wen on vacation with the obama's, right? and she supposed to be not a partisan host, not an opinion person, but a serious anchor ye she's going on vacation with michelle in barack obama. >> thank you. on his trip to hudson valley ne york today, president biden too the stage with congressman mike waller, the district's representative. biden previously had hammered him as a maga republican, but
5:36 pm
now he is not. >> he's on the other team, but you know what, mike is the kind of guy that when i was in congress, he was the kind of republican i was used to dealin with. he is not one of these maga republicans for it. >> i'm wondering if he is as confused as we are by the chang in tone. the president, he put up a twee with your picture calling you a maga republican. i do wonder in your head, being praised, do you wonder about a primary challenge at all? >> i took the opportunity to go there because it is who i am to be bipartisan, to be willing to engage in conversation in i talked to the president privately before his speech and told him in no uncertain terms he needs to negotiate with speaker mccarthy to lift the debt ceiling in he needs to wor with us on the migrant crisis
5:37 pm
impacting our southern border and communities like mine where migrants are being shipped from new york city to my congressional district because of the crisis that's been created at our southern border. i took the opportunity to be very direct with the president and obviously i guess he appreciated my candor. >> what did he say back to you? >> he acknowledged certainly th migrant car crisis we are dealing with and agreed that we need to secure our border and that we need to do more to get border patrol down there and folks to handle these asylum cases. but come up with respect to the debt ceiling, he acknowledged m position which was to say it looked, you have to negotiate, we have to cut spending and we cannot default. i reinforced for him by the way chump schumer cannot push the clean debt ceiling part house republicans are the ones that haven't done anything to lift the debt ceiling, rain and spending, and get our country back on a path to fiscal sanity. he should work with the speaker
5:38 pm
and hopefully when they meet again on friday they desperate. >> he had some words for the speaker and the so-called maga republicans in the world pretty good there is an extreme and of the republican party that they resort, but now they refer to themselves as the maga republicans and they've taken control of the house for they'v taken control they have a speaker who has his job because he yielded to the quote maga an other party. >> what was thinking when he wa talking about the speaker that way? >> i kept a poker face for the president obviously has his message and his talking points he was trying to hammer home in my congressional district purit undermined it a bit by acknowledging that i'm not an extremist, but i think the bottom line is this speaker has really worked to bring our conference together and to focu
5:39 pm
on the issue at hand. whether you are talking about the debt ceiling, the immigration crisis at our southern border, the president needs to work with him. the joe biden of old would have done that. as vice president, he negotiate with john weiner and house republicans. i think he needs to come back t that. >> kayleigh: last question for you, i'm sure that's great fodder for you, in the ads, the sister has declared against you? >> liz witmer garrity, and the former congressman is also thinking about running so i may have a tough primary, but obviously the witmer family is looking to go nationwide here. so if people want to submit support us and given that the president was in my district today, they should text biden t 85 double zero seven. to help support me and make sur we hold onto our house republican majority next year. >> when a hard-fought race and it appears that president of th united states is very scared of

5:47 pm
answer the question? i don't think he would have any understanding of why you are asking for the democratic party now is committed to abortion at any time including the last day of the ninth month. so a large number of them are now committed to infanticide fo up to 50 days after the baby is born and there is a significant bully up on their part that you the taxpayer should pay for it and abortion on the last day or should pay for infants i die after 30 days afterwards. when that begins to be clear to the american people they recoil because that's an extremism tha is frankly unimaginable. on the other hand, republicans have to start with a sense of concern. they have to be concerned for the mother, you have to be concerned for the baby. after consider options like adoption. you have to be serious about th

fact that you can now see the baby. i think the more people realize you have a chance to actually see the baby, the greater the pressure is disabled, this is not some strange thing one woma said she regarded it as a tumor in the body in i thought my choice is tumor or baby, i note which side i'm on. i think if you approach it that way, and your compassionate and concerned, it can win this debate every time. >> we saw president trump do that with hillary clinton. we have about 30 seconds here and i want to ask you this fred we've seen dire assessments of the biden economy, 36 percent o evil and the most recent full, but is the old adage still aliv and well because it didn't seem to be the case in the midterms? >> i think that midterm republicans, the republicans failed to offer solutions excep for in the house where the kevi
