debt ceiling before we default. should be most consequential g7 in years. the bottom line is this should be g7 in which the president projects strength and resolve to our allies. if biden was on the top of his games, he would say we're going to protect our allies and i have a deal with mccarthy. that is what he should be saying, he's not. >> todd: lucas tomlinson live in washington with more. lucas. >> lucas: this trip hurts -- to move beyond that spy balloon. jake sullivan spoke en route to japan. >> common concerns and issues associated with the policies and practices, the people's republic

of china will come up and i think you will see alignment and convergence around the principles of our approach to the people's republic of china. >> lucas: that is good dc wong speak. china will not be there, but will be focus of the meetings. trip was supposed to include a trip to new guinea. but the president's trip will be cut short. the president seemed optimistic before his flight to japan. >> president biden: i am confident america will not default and every leader in the room understands consequences if we fail to pay our bills and would be catastrophic if the american economy and people if we didn't pay our bills. >> lucas: house speaker kevin

mccarthy blasted the president for leaving the debt ceiling talks unresolved. >> mr. president, stop hiding, stop traveling somewhere else. america wants an american president, finding american solutions. >> lucas: nuguinea declared a national holiday. president biden is in japan right now meeting with the prime minister. back to you. >> todd: on your screen now, looking inside the meeting between president biden and our foreign policy team, you see antony blinken and i believe jake sullivan and the japanese counterpart, the prime minister and his team, discussing a number of issues. you know they will discuss china and the debt ceiling issue in the united states. climate change will be a major focus of this meeting, with all

going on right now, is climate change what we should be focused on? >> ashley: in just a few hours issue the house subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government will hear from three fbi whistleblower who will share retaliation and abuses they faced at the bureau. >> todd: brooke singman joins us. >> brooke: they will hear from them at 9 a.m. fox news can confirm the identity of two witnesses who will testify about abuses they have witnessed within the fbi. special agent steve friend and marcus allen will speak this morning. allen's security clearance was revoked on may 3rd and -- just yesterday. there are theories expressed to

co-workers in stant messages, including an e-mail containing link to website that stated among other things, by now it is clear that federal law enforcement had some degree of infiltration among the crowds gathered at the capitol on january 6. the bureau accuses friend of refusing to arrest an alternative subject when discussing refusal to participate in the arrest with top officials. the fbi says friend had interviews with the media, including one with a russian government news agency. jim jordan previewed his testimony. listen. >>y 32 of the four individuals talked to us, three will be testifying tomorrow that their security clear an has been revoked. steve friend is a good man and will be testifying tomorrow, as well. he talks about how the fbi sent agents to a school board meeting.

this is how ridiculous it has gotten. >> the fbi revoked top secret security clearance, he is a possible witness today. gloss was in the restricted area of the u.s. capitol grounds on january 6, 2021 and provided false or misleading information during his security interview about what he observed at the capitol riot. before this morning's hearings, there will be a press conference on capitol hill. >> todd: greg steube sits on that sub-committee and he will join us to preview today's hearing. six after the hour. senator marco rubio releasing 320-page report on the origins of covid-19, including new evident it leaked from the wuhan lab. >> ashley: our next guest, rubio used her report and we'll ask her what else she's uncovered

next. i've always had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep— you know, insomnia. but then i found quviviq, an fda-approved medication for adults with insomnia. and i'm glad i found it. you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks. my friend's white-noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the... carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is.

that's why i take quviviq nightly. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you. ♪ ♪

adversary we've ever had. china believes it is destined to the world's only super power and that we are in the way. it is not an xajeration to say that the chinese communist party has been waging an economic war again the united states for decades. >> todd: robert charles says joe biden needs to stand up to president xi. >> china has ships and within two years, they will bump 340 up to 400, one reason for that, to threaten u.s. allies in the region. biden, if smart, would take a page from ronald reagan's book. ronald reagan unified the world to combat communism. >> todd: the china select committee was approved in january to re-examine the nation's strategic competition with the ccp.

because of how risky and unsafe they are. they want to be the world's dominant country in every field, including biomedicine. progress or safety? what the impact of this political pressure on chinese researchers, they are told we're going to prioritize making progress. >> ashley: "what really happened in wuhan" is referenced in marco rubio's report. you did research, was there anything in the report you learned? >> i've spent two years investigating the origins of covid-19. marco rubio has a unique position, he's vice chair of senate intelligence committee and has access to intelligence he would have drawn on.

i think where marco rubio has gone stronger than anyone else, in his conviction that the chinese communist party leadership knew there was a lab leak and knew far in advance. in my book, what really happened in wuhan, i detailed the outbreak early as september or october of 2019. but what marco rubio has done, said he is confident the communist party leadership became aware and sought to of coer it up. >> todd: the timeline is damming. early as 2018, chinese officials warned of safety problems at the institute of virology, 2018. in 2019, the wuhan airport holding emergency response drill, first report of wuhan resident dying from what he believed to be covid-19. in november of 2019, china hid documented cases of covid-19

while the south china morning post reviewed earliest confirmed case. on december 31, of 2019, china finally officially disclosed covid-19 to the publicity. sharri, where is joe biden? shouldn't he be holding china accountable for that timeline and what we now know was a coverup by the ccp? >> exactly. 7 million have lost their lives from covid-19, not to mention devastating impact on our economies around the world, years lost when people couldn't travel or see family and no accountability here at all. the picture that has emerged absolutely clearly in my book, my investigation, in marco rubio's report, there was a lot of dangerous and risky research being undertaken at the wuhan institute of virology, a lot funded by the united states because it was too risky to take place on the u.s., on u.s. soil

and as you know, gain of function was banned in the united states. it was being outsourced to this laboratory in wuhan and had involvement from the chinese military and no oversight to where this risky research was happening and what it was being used for and something marco rubio emphasizes, there was no safety protocol, no safety procedure, grave concern from the head of the institute of virology, how they were lacking in safety equipment. they were dealing with some of the most transmisable, infectious and lethal viruses and to think we still haven't seen the virus database that went missing in 2019. the wuhan laboratory took this database offline, never seen

again. joe biden hasn't asked to see it, no global leaders have demanded swsh answers on this. >> ashley: is it enough to hold china accountable? >> there is definitely enough to hold china accountable, not only with the origin of the virus, the fact china was culpable to allow this virus to spread internationally. it was five weeks before chinese leadership, before xi admitted covid-19 was infectious. they were blocking wuhan residents from flying to china, but allowing people who had covid-19 to travel internationally, that was a deliberate decision to spread covid-19 to every corner of the earth. that is culpability enough right there. >> ashley: right. >> todd: the nih has defunded the lab, but why in the first

place did they -- thank you so very much, we appreciate it. new york city now backing down on plans to house migrants inside school gyms after a massive movement of parent and student protests. >> ashley: the migrants are still coming, what happens now? three new york city councilmembers are here next. >> close the borders, take care of your house first, take care of our people first, the americans, then bring whoever, at the moment, we're not in a position to help no immigrants or migrants at this moment.

>> considering rykers, when we decide where we want to go, we will go and let you know. we shouldn't speculate, everything is being considered. >> todd: republicans joe borelli and -- serve on the city council and join me now. joe, we leave homeless veterans who fought to defend our freedom, we leave these folks on the streets homeless, yet we are behinding over backward to defend these migrants, who we owe nothing to. why? >> this is a problem that is costing 8 million per day, more than the entire fdny, our fire department. that money could be going to veterans, school lunches, healthcare for the sick. because we decided to have this

woke experiment of being a sanctuary city, we are boxed in and spending money we don't have. it is a shame and i hope the mayor finds an off ramp soon. >> todd: mayor eric adams says new york city has cared for 6500, why fund people from other countries when you know we have a ton of unmet needs right here in the big apple for the taxpayers paying for all of this? >> this is discouraging. what we're seeing right now in city hall is a little bit of weakness. we need our mayor to stand up to the federal government and turn buses away. 65,000. now in the sanctuary city status, i believe the way to get out of this right now is to double think the policies.

65,000 and just getting started. by july or august, we would have close to 100,000 people here. we are drowning, the city is drowning and this can't go on much longer, absolutely not. >> todd: parents are relieved migrants are no longer going to be housed in their kid's schools. take a listen to some of the parents. >> i'm just happy to be one of the patterns who originally initiated the whole movement. again, we were just thankful everybody got together and we did this whole movement to fight for our kids ' space. it wasn't nothing against immigration or the immigrants coming over to us to new york. it is just our kids' space and safety and it is why we made it so strong to fight against that for us and our kids. >> todd: ari, you know the city

resources. what is the end game, where will the people and migrants be placed? >> there is no end game, i -- management, city hall, the situation and everything can change. i was relieved yesterday to learn that finally migrants left -- after it was protest by parents who said this belongs the community. the same time, there are guarantees that nobody will ever return to the school gym and never again be transformed into overflow processing center. >> todd: i believe he's frozen. joe, a lot of viewers are visitors to the big apple. tourist season is upon us, should they come here if half of

the city's hotel rooms are going to be filled with migrants, potentially more now that they are not using schools for now? >> i'm glad you made that point. the mayor announced 50% of hotel rooms occupied. they would have been occupied by france and wherever, folks trying to spend money and give tax funds to our coffers and now they're not. it is unfortunate we will not have the tourist season we would like to because of this problem. we have 100, if not 150 hotels under lease, which is unsustainable situation that new york will take a long time to recover. >> todd: we reached out to mayor's office and he did not respond. you are using my money to pay for migrants and i'm struggling to pay rent and you are trying

to house these migrants in my kid's school. thank you, keep up the fight. ash, over to you. >> ashley: fox news exclusive. witness present when daniel penny -- saved an entire subway car full of people. it was self-defense and i believe in my heart he saved a lot of people that day that could have gotten hurt. i hear someone spewing rhetoric, he said i don't care if i have to kill an expletive, i will. mr. opiniony was distraught and distressed and he didn't go, he didn't run, he stayed. penny is due in court on july 17ths, 2.6 million have been raised for his defense fund. governor ron desantis, we are waiting to see if and when he

>> todd: this story is rich. congressman adam schiff denouncing the report about collusion between donald trump and russia. >> spent four years trying to prove this deep state conspiracy theory trump kept telling his base would be proven and people like brennan and nancy pelosi and brennan would be prosecuted. it was a big bust. >> todd: that doesn't make it true. years of crying collusion between donald trump and russia. >> so there is clear evidence on the issue of collusion and this adds to evidence.

there is ample evidence of clugsz in plain sight and that is true. >> have democrats found evidence of collusion? >> we have. you can see collusion in plain sight. >> todd: it is important to note, there was no evidence of collusion because no clugsz happened, hence of basis of durham's conclusion. kevin mccarthy is questioning schiff's suitability to serve in congress after it was found a researcher was intimidated. >> ashley: florida governor ron desantis will travel back to the critical primary state of new hampshire tomorrow, just days after stopping in iowa and 37 iowa state lawmakers, 99 florida state lawmakers and 51 new hampshire state lawmakers have all endorsed the florida governor for president, despite the fact he has not announced he isun aring.

new hampshire state representative jason osborne joins us now. you jumped on the desantis endorsement train. tell us why. >> republicans are looking to reverse this trend of losing we've been doing the last couple cycles. we need a proven leader like governor ron desantis to lead the charge at the top of the ticket. this guy is able to secure reelection victory by historic margin in the state of florida and bringing along super majority legislator along with him, someone from purple state like new hampshire, this is attractive proposition to someone like me. >> ashley: this is month after former president trump said, our support is universal in florida and throughout the usa, why desantis over former president trump? >> i just think that is not true. one of my jobs as majority leader is to help republicans get along and work well

together. what i'm discovering, i'm talking to members and people across the state. mow matter what part of the republican party people are from, whether cruz republican or ron paul republican or jeb bush, support for governor ron desantis is coming from every part of the party and this is the kind of leader we're looking for to be able to unify the republican party and unify this country. >> ashley: a lot of support for desantis and a lot of support for trump. not everyone has liked some things desantis has done. talk about disney and that saga, a lot of people did not like that and agree with the six week abortion ban. do you think that will hurt desantis in the long run? >> no, i don't. first of all, florida is a different state than new hampshire than connecticut and than alabama. when ron desantis gets in front

of the american people, he will be able to speak to a unifying message from everybody. in new hampshire, we have 24-week restriction on as and in florida, they now have a six-week. i am sure every state has a different view on that topic. >> ashley: of course. thank you for getting up with us this morning, have a good day. >> todd: texas senator cruz and tennessee senator marsha blackburn want an investigation into -- senators pointed to dylan mulvaney's instagram, where dylan mulvaney boasts millions of followers. this is emblem attic of series of online content used to target audience of young people. senator cruz says this is

stores right now, i have a feeling they are looking at closing some. that is what my gut has been telling me. >> todd: have you ever seen it seep into a quarterly report? >> cheryl: no, i looked at bree yesterday and said, look what target reported. to see a retailer put it out like that was surprising and the numbers are no joke. $1.2 billion is the forecast for 2023, hope it is wrong. it will be on point or go up unless cities do something about retail stores. >> todd: speaking of numbers not being a joke. you know the business world, does the government have spare 14 trillion in federal couch cushions? >> cheryl: i will say no, listen

to congressman cori bush. >> the united states has a legal and moral obligation to provide reparations for enslavement of africans. black people in our country cannot wait for our government to begin addressing each and every one of the extraordinary bits of harm, all of the harm it has caused since the founding. >> cheryl: republicans say this demand unsustainable. >>y woo are in a situation where the country is dealing with a serious debt issue and to add to that, would be problematic. >> reparations are absurd and do not warrant a response. >> cheryl: 14 trillion, this is $300,000 each. these are calls from pros

progressives. we do not have the money, we can't afford it. >> ashley: where are you going to get the money? >> cheryl: more inflation. >> ashley: it doesn't work. >> todd: even the left recognizes that, you have even gavin newsom saying we can't afford this. it is virtue signalling. >> ashley: this story has us in a tizzy with meghan markle and prince harry. i don't know if you drive in new york city, it doesn't seem feasible this could happen. >> cheryl: there are a lot of questions. as a new yorker out in traffic, i will go with, lay this out. this is harry and meghan. last night, so tuesday night, the duke and duchess of sussex, and ms. ragland, her mother, were involved in a chase with

the paupa rauzy. this involved other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two nypd officers. the nypd says they assisted the private team. they did arrive at their destination, no reported collision, injuries, arrests in regard to this. the nypd speak spokesman said it was not two hours. i am sorry, if you look at the map of where they were going, no. royal experts are now calling them out. i want to jump to the sound bite. this will tell you everything you need to know about harry and meghan. play the sound bite of the royal expert. >> the difficulty with harry and meghan, they are proven to be liars previously, we saw that with their -- it is hard to take

this seriously. >> cheryl: a lot of questions about this, many new yorkers said, what, two hours, high-speed chase or near collision? you are stuck behind a garbage truck. they got stuck behind a garbage truck, that is normal. >> ashley: it happens every morning, it is frustrating, but not near cata of stroic. >> todd: wednesday is garbage truck day. >> ashley: it is everyday now. >> todd: lots of questionses, cheryl casone. thank you. >> ashley: fbi whistleblower will testify about allegations of bias and other abuses inside the fbi. congressman greg steube is on the subcommittee holding today's hearing. we'll ask him what answers he's looking for. >> todd: brian kilmeade will tell us about what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> brian: you have been teasing greg steube for two hours. in 12 minutes when you are done interviewing greg steube, we are

ramsey, pete hegseth is almost ready to put on the gel, all coming up for the next three hours. i ask one thing, to gradually get dressed. now put in the animation. i'm world champion skier lindsey vonn, and ever since i retired, i've had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep - you know, insomnia. which was making my days feel like an uphill battle. and i don't like going uphill. that is, until i discovered something different, quviviq - a once-nightly fda -approved medication

for adults with insomnia. not getting enough sleep was leaving me tired... oh come on! wait, wait! and slowing me down during my days. on your left! making even the things i love difficult. but quviviq helped me get more sleep. quviviq works differently than medication you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed that sleep continued to improve over time. so now that i'm getting more sleep, things are going back downhill. in a good way. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur.

most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

>> the house committee is set to hear from three fbi whistleblowers sharing their stories of retaliation and abuses they claim they faced at the bureau. special agent steve friend is one of them. >> people, the day he gets here, they learn they suspended his clearance, they questioned his allegiance to the country. the guy who did two tours armed services for our cup trip. questioned our allegiance. won't let him get access to all thinks belongings, his clotsz, furniture. four children, a 2 week old newborn wouldn't let him get access to their toys, toys, winter coats. that's how bad it was. >> florida congressman greg

steube serves on that select subcommittee and he joins us now to preview the hearing. congressman, let me help you out with your first question in light of jim jordan's comment right there. how the heck does this happen happen to somebody serving the people of the united states of america in the united states of america. >> yeah, it's really sad the depth of corruption that is currently going on in our fbi and doj. and the level of that has occurred. an individual that saw they weren't following their own guidelines on investigating these case and with his blue to his executives pursuant to fbi rules they completely shut him down and took away his security clearance. doesn't give him the ability to get another law enforcement job and fire him. direct wray and merrick garland said they won't do that. that's exactly what they are doing

retaliating against whistleblowers blowing the whistle going after conservatives the fact they have politicized the fbi and duong when these testimonies be enough to move the needle to get these people held accountable. how many times do we see these explosive testimonies come out and then the story just vanished the next week? is it enough? report released this morning 9:445 press conference 9:00 a.m. egregious abuse. misallocation of resources and misconduct at the highest levels of the fbi. what it seems to have been fact now that will be in this report is statements that both merrick garland have made under oath and director wray have made under oath are complete outright lies to congress which is an offense and a crime and i think is

impeachable conduct. so, in reading the 80-page report that will be released at 7:45 this morning, i certainly have changed my mind think that director wray and merrick garland should be impeached. >> todd: to review you think both of those individuals should face impeachment over this? >> 100 percent. >> todd: let's go into what some of the testimony is expected to be. one of the fbi gopsd testify staff places marcus allen espoused alternative theories to co-workers verbally and in emails and instant messages sent on fbi systems. including an email containing a link to a website that stated, among other things, by now it's clear that federal law enforcement had some degree of infiltration among the crowds gathered at the capitol on january 6th. the lines of questioning that you are expected to pursue will include january 6th, i'm assuming? >> january 6th is a large part

of this. how they have weaponized and exaggerated the numbers on domestic extreme terrorism. they will use what happened here in washington and then add those numbers in the different field offices to exacerbate and expand the numbers balsd on what they not really are. basically completely misleading the american public on the level of domestic terrorists and domestic extremism cases. the fbi has. number of different things. and one of the witnesses is going to talk about how the bureau specifically is going after pro-life pregnancy centers. i mean, this is 100 percent stuff you see in china, communist china, communist russia. this isn't the type of behavior that we should be having in the united states, what the fbi has become is the law enforcement arm of the democratic party. >> you know, congressman, we have to get to this because house democrats are now attempting to work around republicans to raise the u.s. debt ceiling through something called a discharge petition. look, the facts are mccarthy put out a common sense plan over

100 days ago. the president is not moving on it. mccarthy even made the point that the president left the united states without coming to a deal. so what is the holdup? >> the holdup is the senate and the white house not doing their job. we have passed a bill. so the democrats can file whatever discharge petition they want, they are not going to get the 218 votes necessary to force a vote on it because we already voted on a debt ceiling bill, increasing the debt ceiling, cutting spending and putting in work requirements for the american people for social welfare programs. things that joe biden himself has supported when he was in the senate. so we have already passed a plan. the democrats can try all this but they are basically stalling. they are not doing what needs to happen for the american people to immediate move our economy forward. the american people want us to cut spending in washington and that's exactly what we did in increasing the debt ceiling. >> todd: is that a sign desperation floating this discharge petition? >> yeah. i think so. they no other option the senate

is refusing to pass a bill and send it to the white house. >> todd: with that we have avoided going into wonky discussion with discharge petitions with "studio by," piro we need answers that's not how america works. thank you, we appreciate it? >> thank you. >> ashley: thank you, have a good day. with that, "fox & friends" starts right now. you have a good day as well. ♪ >> steve: they are cutting the quad. lucas tomlinson joins us in d.c. with what the president is going to be talking about over the next 72 hours? >> good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. the u.s. defense budget expected to shrink due to inf
