♪ ♪ mike: house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan's waiting to hear if special counsel john durham will testify before the committee on thursday after durham dropped his 300-plus-page report which found the fbi made many errors in the investigation into possible collusion between then-presidential candidate donald trump and russia back in 2016. welcome to the "fox news life," i'm mike emanuel. alexandria hoff joins me now.

>> reporter: hi, mike. from whistleblowers to sur styling americans, the fbi has had a lot to answer to this past week, starting on monday with the release of the durham report which concluded the agency did not have sufficient evidence to open investigation into then-candidate trump and, quote, our investigation also revealed that senior fbi personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards or the information they received, especially from politically-affiliated persons and entities. >> this is an investigation with no basis, and that makes a lot of people mad. that hurt the previous administration for about two years. >> it is critical the american people understand how their government, their agencies have been turned on them, the taxpayer. >> reporter: republicans want durham to testify on capitol hill this week. there are democrats downplaying the report, some outright dismissing it. >> this is an investigation that started in a flawed manner, it was conducted in a flawed manner, and its conclusion is a

flawed conclusion. >> reporter: separately, past laws were admitted by the fbi when it comes to abusing warrantless tools and technology. court filings show that the agency conducted 278,000 data way searches on americans -- database searches on americans between 2020 the-2021 under the foreign intelligence surveillance act. >> there were definitely some issues on how fisa was used and utilized, and there have been dozens of reforms that have been made over the course of the last year or so to crease the those issues -- address those issues. >> reporter: a senior fbi official did tell fox news data base procedures have been changed so that those errors do not happen again. mike: alex, thanks a lot. for more on this, let's bring in today's political panel, gareth that joins -- gareth that joins and kristin hawn, democratic

strategist and former communications director at the blue dog coalition. ladies, welcome. >> nice to see you. mike: so, senator lindsey graham's reaction to the durham report, let's put it on the screen. quote, the durham report is damning. it shows the fbi became a political weapon. they wanted to get trump, they didn't care how they did it. they took the rule of law and threw it over to try to get a political outcome. kristin, what's the fallout this? >> i think, you know, the fbi has to be held accountable. i don't think it should overshadow, they talked about january 6th, and as somebody who lived in d.c. and the causes for that terrible, awful day, you know, i don't want to, you know, read too much into this. look at what -- people like to politicize what the fbi does, but if you want to do that, you look at what happened with, you know, with hillary clinton in the day days before the election. i think, you know, people on both sides of the aisle like to take what the fbi does and then use it, you know, and spin it

for their own political side. but it's been an issue on both sides. mike: greta, will there be accountability? >> i think that there probably won't be, unfortunately. i think what we're looking at is the same individuals that were involved in the various, you know, misjudgments i think is probably the best way to put it, around the election. did the same thing when it comes to the hunter biden laptop. you know, it's the same issues over and over. we're going to utilize our intelligence agencies for political purposes in helping to find ways to push candidates that we believe will be helpful to them. and as we see time and time again, most of those individuals are still working in, you know, still have -- see no consequences to the their actions. mike: florida governor ron desantis the scheduled to launch this week, you have

basically three people that are credible in this whole thing, biden, trump and me, and i think of those three, two have a chance to get elected, biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states which is not great for the former president, people aren't going to change their view of him. kristin, how do you assess that? >> this might be the one time i ever agree with desantis. [laughter] like, he has a point, i mean, looking -- coming from the democratic point of view. if you look at, though the national polls and, you know, biden's losing to trump, that's just not true. you look at the electoral college, the statements that biden's going to play in, where you immediate to get those votes -- need to get those votes, i don't think that trump can be the current -- can beat the current president. it's going to have to be somebody else.. i'm not saying it's ron desantis. i think he has some views that are not going to be the popular among women who are independents and center-left women, even some is center-right women, but i

don't think trump can get there. mike: okay. one governor who's not running at this point but put out a very slick video this week is virginia governor glenn youngkin. let's play an excerpt. >> we can usher in a new era of american values. president ronald reagan changed lives, and thousand it's our turn. -- now it's the our turn. a time to choose life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness over presentation and dictatorial rule. the stakes are high, and the con. intentions -- consequences couldn't be greater. mike: greta, that looks pretty presidential to me. what do you make of it? >> as a mom of two elementary school kids in northern virginia, there is hard for me to say a greater political event during the years of covid than glenn youngkin beating terry mcauliffe are. it's amazing how the science changed miraculously after he won, and all the way up the northeast you saw covid restrictions and kids getting

back to school. i think the more voices like glenn youngkin's voice is, i think, are helpful to the party as a whole. so i hope he runs. i think the more people we have involved, i think it helps create a solid republican narrative for the next cycle. mike: let's put on the screen the declared republican candidate cans at this point. it's getting crowded. does a crowded republican field benefit former president trump, kristin? >> potentially. i think, but i think, you know, what is, you know, as a democrat who wants the former -- the current president to win again, what's really scariest to me is somebody like glenn youngkin, all right? again, i do not think -- do i think people are done with donald trump. but somebody's going to have to take it to the current president. that was definitely a very presidential, you know, video. i mean, all, you know, signs would indicate that he's going to run. but i don't want to speak for the republican party -- [laughter]

but if i'm a republican, i want somebody like that leading us into the future. mike: let's show potential gop candidates, and there are a bunch more of them. greta, what do you make of this gop race? >> you know, i it's more wide open than national polls would lead us to believe. you know, i would note that prior to barack obama winning in iowa, he was not considered a serious candidate in south carolina. i think that, you know, the primary system, you know, especially in midwest states is really going to be key when you look at developing a solid base for whomever the nominee is. and i do think there are a number of candidates -- tim scott's going to announce this week as well. they have a lot to contribute to the party, and i'm very thankful that they're all putting their names out there. mike: greta the, kristin, thanks so much. on "fox news sunday" today, shannon has exclusive interviews with senators ted cruz and jack

some were most likely flown by the mexican government to the interior of their country. compare that to brownsville, texas, just a couple days before title title 42 expired, there was extreme pressure seen on both sides of the border. while many of the migrants who made it into the u.s. were processed and released into the country, others were immediately removed. homeland security saying more than 11,000 have been flown back to the their home countries of guatemala, hon curious and el salvador, just to name a few. migrants are still attempting to cross illegally, but in smaller groups. last night we saw border patrol agents apprehend three migrants just across the border in new mexico. agents also arrested a group of eight migrants, they were in tombstone, arizona, earlier in the week. they had walked across an immigration checkpoint. also in arizona agents arrested a convicted cocaine trafficker from guatemala. in the first six months of in

this year, almost 6,000 convicted felons have been apprehended, and finally, border patrol agents in eagle pass came across two young children who had been abandoned along a road. they were unhurt luckily, but another cruel example of just the desperation that we see at the southern border. ing mike? mike: dan springer live in el paso. dan, many thanks. president biden closing out out his time at the g7 summit after finishing a phone call with the president a short time ago, we'll be right back. ♪ liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it! doggy-paddle! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in,

mike: president biden heading back to the white house today after his time at the g7 summit in japan and already e assuming the stalled debt ceiling negotiations, having a phone call with house speaker kevin mccarthy while on the flight home with plans to meet tomorrow. lucas tomlinson is live outside the white house with more. hello, lucas. hey, mike. house speaker kevin mccarthy spoke about those debt ceiling talks on "sunday morning futures." >> he ignored me for 97 days. it wasn't til the house republicans actually passed a bill that raised the debt ceiling, limited what we'd spend in the future, saved the taxpayer money and grow our economy so the market would be going up, not down. that's the only reason we're in the room. but the president has a really

shifted right after the more progressive socialist wing of the party stood up and says they want to spend more money. >> reporter: our own peter doocy did not travel 7,000 miles to japan to not ask president biden a question. here are both of them in squaw pan earlier. >> reporter: mr. president, on the debt limit you said already i've done, i've done my part. do you think if there is a breach, nobody is going to blame you? >> of course no one will blame me. i mow you won't. -- i know you won't. >> reporter: i'm asking, would you be blameless in a default situation? >> on the merits based on what i've offered, i would be blameless. on the politics of it, no one will be blameless. >> reporter: one of the biggest surprises of the g7, the appearance of ukraine's president and the u.s. announcing it will support the training of pilots on the american f-16. additional weapons and effort by the u.s. to break the months-long stalemate in the war, fox news has learned

civilian casualties are much higher in ukraine than previously reported. let's take a look. ukrainian civilian casualties since russia launched its full-scale invasion, 4 2,000. ukrainian forces, killed, 20,000. wounded, 130,000. russian forces killed, 50,000 the, and wounded 180,000. those numbers of ukrainian civilians killed are more than five times higher than previously reported, mike. mike: lucas, let's dig into those numbers a little bit. that says how devastating this war has been now that we're, what, 15, 16 months into it? >> reporter: right. no question, mike. and also the announcement that the u.s. is going to support the training of ukrainian pilots in the f-16s show this months will have -- months-long stalemate, how urgent9ly ukrainian forces need some additional firepower if they hope to break the stalemate, mike. mike: lucas tomlinson, thanks very much. for more on president biden's time at the g7 summit, what news was made, bill joined by senior

fellow at hudson institute and the director of its keystone defense initiative research, rebeccah heinrichs. welcome. >> thank you for having me. mike: let's start with president biden at the g7 talking about china, and i'll get you to react. >> we're not looking to decouple from china, we're looking to derisk and diversify. our relationship with china. that means taking steps to diversify our supply chains, and we're not, so we're not dependent on any one country for necessary products. it means resisting economic coercion together. mike: how you assess the president's trip to the g7 specific create on china? >> well, first of all, i would say there's this. >>ed coe kind of casting the entire trip because of his cancellation at the last minute for additional trips especially to australia, because that trip would have been very telling to show that the united states is a power that's going to stay in the region, we're committed.

and, of course, china is engaged not just in economic coercion against the australians, but military provocations in the region. and so that is kind of the shadow that has overcast the entire g7. i think it's fine the that the president wants to talk about derisking instead of decoupling as long as he's still tough and he follows through. the details are going to matter. the united states cannot be dependent on supply chains and things that are still in china, but, you know, it seems to me like this is really just kind of a euphemism for a reset or this china thaw that the biden administration is going to push because it doesn't want to take china head on like the previous administration did. mike: for a republican view on china, senator josh hawley was on "sunday morning futures" with mafia. let's play that -- maria. >> we should withdraw the most favored nation status from china. we should slap tariffs across the board til that trade deficit gets down to zero. there's no reason we should be

sending them our jobs, our cash, allowing them to steal our technology and our industry. mike: what about his ideas, rebecca? >> well, i mean, he's exactly right that we need to be taking china on head-on. they are an adversary. in no sense are they really a partner. but the biden administration has these other priorities. they want to tackle these climate change issues, so that continues to get in the way with these tougher ideas that senator hawley's talking about. you also have mike gallagher in the house of representatives leading a bipartisan effort to be much tougher on china, to make sure that the united states of america and our companies aren't subsidizing, for instance, their surveillance state, the most sophisticated surveillance state in the country. but the biden administration is not willing to make those really, really tough things, that would take some bite against china and make a lot of american companies uncomfortable. mike: also at the g7 you had ukraine's president certificate listen sky there trying to -- zelenskyy trying to rally

support. how did he do? >> listen, they don't get enough credit because joe biden is now taking victory laps for leading an effort to help ukraine, but really this is a credit to the brits, the pole, the baltic nations for getting these trainings of f-16 jets now that is going to happen for ukraine. this is something ukraine has been asking for since the invasion. it's the united states that has said that they don't need them. but the u.k. has been saying, no, they do, and so has to poland. of course, poland wanted to send those migs, and the united states said no and germany said no. really now you're seeing other countries pushing, republicans pushing saying you've got to help ukraine win. and that's something that joe biden has not been willing to do. he's been trying to make sure ukraine doesn't lose right away but not provide the necessary things for them the win. i really think this trip has been really important is and good for president zelenskyy of ukraine. mike: i'm sure a lot of people are saying this ukraine war's costing the american taxpayer a

lot of money. why because ukraine matter? >> ukraine matters because it is really the country that's standing between the russian federation and nato. the united states has great commitment to. the united states' trade with the european union is over a trillion dollars annually, so for the security, prosperity and freedom of the american people, the security of europe is incredibly important. is the united states going to be the leader of the free world or take a backseat to the prc? china is backing russia. ing you're to going to see greater influence that china has over europe which is deadly and dangerous for the american people. mike: rebeccah heinrichs, fantastic job. thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. mike: polls are closing across greece after millions cast their ballots. while early exiting polling has placed the ruling conservative party ahead, experts say today's voting is likely to produce an outright winner. a repeat vote is expected to the happen by july unless to

half after the quadruple homicide. the grand jury's indictment means that coburg berger's -- kohberger's attorneys won't be able to advantage the prosecution's office and cross-examine any witnesses including two surviving roommates in a preliminary hearing that was scheduled to start on june 26th. the former washington state criminology ph.d. student is facing four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary for the deadly nighttime attack. family and friends of the victims have been very tight-lipped about the details of this criminal case since a judge issued a gag order barring them, law enforcement and lawyers from talking about it. again, kohberger's arraignment is scheduled for tomorrow morning. mike? mike: we will follow it. christina coalman, thanks so much. we'll have more on that story in just a moment, but first, let's turn back to daniel penny, the marine veteran charged in the chokehold death of jordan neely. my next guest is attorney lexie rigdon.

welcome. >> thanks, mike. mike: so the marine corps veteran saysst the all about a broken system. how do you assess? >> well, i think that it's good that he spoke out. i think the court of public opinion in these cases can't be underestimated. i think the authorities, whether they want to admit it or not, i think they make certain decisions based on public pressure. i query whether he would have even been arrested had there not been so much public pressure, and on the flipside, maybe they took longer to arrest him because they knew there was this public heat where they wanted to dot their is and cross their ts before they actually arrested him. he has a gofundme that is really, really high for his legal expenses, so there was really no downside if him trying to get his side of the story out. mike: do you worry about him getting a fair trial in new york city? >> i think that that's the or worry for any high profile defendant, and at this pointless he is a high profile defendant. much like trump, all of these

people that are indicted in new york city, the court of public opinion, like i said, everyone's going to have an opinion on case. they're all going to have heard about it. but where the rubber meets the road is just because people have heard about it doesn't mean they can't sit is as jurors. they have to swear that they're going to be impartial and they're going to wait to the make their decisions. but he's trying to also probably put his thumb on the scale of public opinion just like the officials have. mike: to the kohberger case and the university of idaho students, any surprise he's been indicted in. >> no surprise he's indicted. i think we all figured that come the preliminary hearing time, he would be indicted. that would be returned. ask i'm also not surprised that they chose to do it by way of a grand jury which was a little bit unexpected, but hay might have had that planned the whole time. the preliminary hearing might have been a calendar control issue, and i think it's really good they did it this way. one of the reasons is that the prosecution has actually asked that the names of the witnesses who testify be sealed because

apparently they're being harassed in person, on social media. this is a really sensitive thing, and they're going to try to not have to put these witnesses through. that also as the reporter stated, it's not a bipartisan proceeding. it's the prosecution. they're not having any of their evidence impeached, any of their witnesses impeached, anything like that. so it's pretty easy the get an indictment. i'm not surprised. that certainly doesn't mean they're going to be able to prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt at this point. but the other thing they might have saved themselves from is the defense is no doubt going to file a motion to change venue, and by saying they didn't give the public, all the potential jurors a preview of what the evidence was going to be, it makes it that much harder for the defense to convince a judge that the case should not proceed in the county. mike: what about a gag order in this case? >> well, the case -- they've set it up to move a little bit more quickly now because now they're five, six weeks ahead of the

8-ball. they already have their indictment. they had budgeted five days for this. it can go a little more quickly, but what happens really now is a function of how much time either side needs to prep, and the conventional wisdom is sometimes that the defense wants to kick the can down the road as long as they can because the further you get from the actual criminal act, witnesses die can, they become unavailable, they don't remember. so there may be some strategy on the defense side in trying to delay this as much as they can. mike: what are your thoughts about the defense in this case? >> well, i mean, i was waiting with baited breath as we all were for the affidavit of probable cause. the defense is obviously going to be challenging the dna because that's probably the central part of this case. no doubt they're going to challenge the cell phone tower information, and we till don't know how brian kohberger was actually linked to these people. there's only been speculation. there might be a reason that his dna or their dna might have been

in his car or his in their house, or there might not be. it's hard to say what the defense is going to be until we know more about his connection with them. mike: lexie, i could listen to your analysis all afternoon, but we've got to run. >> thanks, mike. appreciate it. mike: lexie rigden. ♪ ♪ mike: turning now to the fentanyl crisis as the deadly drug reaches all parts of the u.s. fox news multimedia reporter jake care lex sis has more on its impact in the pacific northwest. >> law enforcement says interstate 5 is key to more fentanyl spreading across the northwest, and it's affecting more people including a mom we spoke to whose adopted son schedule thely overdosed on fentanyl -- accidentally overdose on fentanyl. >> he was on his way to the american dream and fulfilling his goals so -- and then it was cut short. >> reporter: last july 23-year-old courage hinton was home in oregon finishing his training to be an airline pilot.

the launch site, and they are now in the process of strapping into the drag can gone spacecraft which is perched atop a falcon 9 rocket, both of them made by spacex. they're scheduled to to lift off at 5:37 eastern time from launch complex 29a -- 39a. incidentally, that is the same launch site that sent off apollo 11 which sent the first humans to the moon 54 years ago. retired nasa astronaut peggy whitson, who has spent more time in space than any other american, is commanding ax-2 which is scheduled to dock with the international space station tomorrow morning at 9:30 eastern. she says astronaut training was adapted for what will be a relatively short 8-day mission. >> as a long duration flier, you're trained for everything that might if happen, but you're not really maybe trained up to the same level that we are trying to be trained up to for each individual thing we know is going to happen in a shorter

duration flight. >> reporter: also onboard, two astronauts from saudi arabia including one who is about to become the first saudi woman in space. an american businessman and aviator will be piloting the pace craft. as nasa sets its sights on returning astronauts to the moon and landing the first humans on mars, it is the increasingly looking to private companies to take on more projects in low earth orbit. axiom plans to start building the world's first commercial space station in late 2025 the, so, ooh mike, this mission is really going to give this private company some much-needed practice in overseeing crewed missions to space. mike? mike: i find this fascinating. i'm watching the american flag behind you with the wind gusting. a factor with these launches is what about the weather? >> reporter: yep, they are keeping an eye on some thunderstorms. behind me it's only clear skies, that's to the east.

but some kind of dark clouds just in front of me to the west. forecasters believe the storm clouds are going to stay to the west of us, but they're watching the anvil, the tops of those storm clouds, making sure they don't drift too far to the east to interfere with the launch. right now forecasters say there is a 60% chance that weather will be just fine, and they'll go ahead with the launch today. but if they're not able to hit that 5:37 launch time this afternoon, they have a backup launch time tomorrow afternoon at 5:14. but then the weather begins to deteriorate, and there's only a 20% chance that the weather will cooperate, so they really want to try to get this rocket off the pad today, mike. pike mike let's hope it all goes smoothly. jonathan serrie live, thanks a lot. a major comeback for horse racing hall of famer bob baffert at this year's preakness stakes
