>> desantis about to launch with a lot of money. i am holding here the cheers to dad father's day cake. look at that. oh my goodness. >> these are the best. >> best i've ever had in my life. a lemon donut that is this good. >> have a good day. >> dana: thank you, friends, great stuff there. the republican field is rapidly expanding. chris christie will announce his candidacy tonight. former vice president mike pence filed paperwork and join a crowded field dominated by former president trump. we'll have analysis how the latest candidates could change that dynamic of the race. first. house republicans escalating their feud with f.b.i. director teeing up a vote to hold him in contempt of congress. i'm dana perino. bill hemmer is off today.

great to have you. >> bill: great to be with you. i'll bill melugin. the house oversight committee will hold a hearing on thursday if it votes to hold director wray in contempt the measure goes to the full house where speaker mccarthy has vowed to support it. >> dana: unprecedented move stemming from a fight over a document an unverified tip accusing then vice president biden of accepting a bribe. >> the f.b.i. allowed committee leaders to look at it in a secure room but republicans say that is not good enough. >> dana: jamie raskin suggested the bureau had dismissed the allegations, comer strongly disagreed. >> the investigation is not dead. this is only the beginning. it appears this investigation is part of an ongoing investigation which i assume is in delaware.

so we feel that this accusation is consistent with the pattern we're seeing frankly in other countries. >> i understand the chairman has been saying that this is now part of an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution. i didn't pick that up. if it's true, all the more reason that specific documents should not be released from the investigation. >> bill: former director of national intelligence john radcliffe is here to react. we'll send it to griff jenkins in washington. >> good morning. this document in question known as a 1023 form dated june of 2020 reportedly alleges that then vice president biden was involved in a bribery scandal. f.b.i. director wray made it available for viewing for the committee chairs but says he can't hand it over without compromising sources. speaker mccarthy isn't buying that. >> this document is not even

classified. what's the first thing that director wray said? he didn't acknowledge whether he had it. he said he wouldn't provide. i explained to him if he doesn't provide it we'll hold him in contempt. now he said yes, we do have the document but only show it to the chairman and ranking member. that's not how the constitution works. >> after committee raskin and comer were able to view the document they walked away with differing views. with raskin claiming the investigation was actually closed. >> what i know is that the f.b.i., department of justice team under barr and brady in the western district of pennsylvania terminated the investigation. they said there were no grounds for further investigative steps so they ended that. >> sources tell fox news that's not accurate. the 1023 in question was flagged and sent to a u.s. attorney in delaware who continues to look into allegations to this day

including the business dealings of hunter biden. the white house has a statement saying another stunt changed by comer to spread innuendo to try to damage the president politically and get himself media attention. as to what's next, mccarthy has made it clear if wray doesn't produce this document in the next 48 hours, they will move forward with a contempt vote on thursday. we'll see what happens. >> bill: interesting how two congressman look at the exact same document but come away with two different conclusions from it. griff jenkins live in d.c. >> dana: john radcliffe joins me now. let's put that document on the board for everyone to see. may three comer issued a subpoena and sets deadline for wray and mccarthy attempted to mediate that dispute. may 30th f.b.i. tells fox news

agency is committed to cooperating and then wray has a phone call with comer to discuss the file and one more step. wray says comer and raskin you can both come and see the document. is wray trying to provide the committee with what it is asking for without overstepping a line that he thinks would protect an investigation or the institution of the f.b.i.? >> well, dana, i think this fd1023 form is an important piece of evidence for two different stories. one obviously to the extent there is any veracity to it and it documents a $5 million bribe to then vice president joe biden, obviously that's a blockbuster. but it is important in evidence how it was treated by the f.b.i. and whether there is another instance of a scandal or abuse by the f.b.i. for political reasons.

remember in 2016 as the durham report and the inspector general report both document, the f.b.i. opened a full field investigation on russian collusion on inverified and unvetted information that literally potentially interfered with the 2016 presidential election. in 2020 f.b.i. agents went to twitter and suppressed the truth about the hunter biden laptop while amplifying a lie it was russian disinformation. if this turns out the fd1023 form from a credible source was somehow buried, i think that's one of the reasons that this contempt proceeding is moving forward regardless of the fact that chairman comer has now seen the document. >> dana: chairman comer, i want to ask you about two people can look at something and come away with different conclusions, we do know that. comer says he believes there is an investigation underway. raskin said he didn't think there was.

i wonder what you think of his point when he said if there is indeed an ongoing investigation, then doesn't that mean this document should not be more widely dispersed? >> so two points on that, dana. first of all, jamie raskin was refuted by director wray himself. so in the meeting that he had with both of them he didn't lead with look, this is a form that came from a highly credible source but in this case there is no merit to it. he didn't say that. in fact, he intimated it was part of some ongoing investigation that was already taking or continuing to take place. the further problem that director wray has on that point about sources and methods is the f.b.i. has been caught using that as both a sword and shield. so director wray with regard to the issue of fisa abuses said

we'll jeopardize sources and methods. people may lose lives but what it revealed is 17 violations of law by the f.b.i. and what resulted in a felony conviction. the contrary with regard to mar-a-lago, within 48 hours f.b.i. agents, the only ones with access to photographs, top secret documents at that time, those were all over the internet and no talk about protecting sources and methods and lives being in danger. it is using a sword and shield as convenient. what speaker mccarthy is focused on here, dana, i think in backing jamie comer in this contempt proceeding is send a message, a couple of them. send a message to the f.b.i. for the next two years we're not going to let you get away with what is perceived to be a two-party system or approach to these investigations where the f.b.i. is being political. i think he is also sending a message to his both republican base and the american public at large that look, we want an

f.b.i. that is apolitical, not acting in putting its finger on the political scale as has been clearly documented in a number of instances. >> dana: the other message is you can't do this kind of jar sight with subpoena power if you aren't in the majority. john radcliffe. we'll see how it goes. appreciate it. >> bill: republican senator and presidential candidate tim scott confronted the co-hosts of "the view" over how much progress has been made in fighting racism and -- >> what is your definition of systemic racism? >> one of the things i think about and one of the reasons i'm on the sure because of the comments made on the show. the only way for a young african kid to be successful in this country is to be the exception and not the rule. that's a dangerous, offensive, disgusting message to send to our young people today that the only way to succeed is by being the exception. i will tell you if my life is

the exception, i can't imagine -- but it's not. here is -- so the fact of the matter is we've had an from time to time president, african-american vice president. here is what i will suggest. i will suggest the fact of the matter is that progress in america is palpable can be measured in generations. >> i was watching this and you have to give him credit. he went into a hostile environment very calm and relaxed. no yelling, no shouting. takes a lot to do that. >> dana: it does. one of the things he tried to do was basically find a way that he could enter the conversation. he was very offended by the point where she said you are the exception not the rule. his whole governing philosophy is about providing opportunity to people. we'll have tim scott with us at 10:00 a.m. he will be live here in studio with us as we take you into that second hour of "america's newsroom." looking forward to that. also breaking news overnight in ukraine. a critical dam along the front

lines blown up unbelievable footage shows the dam split in half. emergency evacuations and widespread flooding. trey yengst live in jerusalem. >> the ukrainians say russian forces blew up a dam in the country's southern region. water rushes past the remains of the power plant. thousands of civilians are evacuating low lying areas as floodwaters rise. zelensky gathered his security council for an emergency meeting following the incident. ukrainian officials are warning the dam break could have severe consequences for the nuclear power plant that relies on water from the dam'ss var to cool reactor. a statement this afternoon saying they're monitoring the situation and see no immediate safety risk. analysts say the event has long lasting consequences for the

russian occupied crimea peninsula that relies on the dam for its main water supply. millions of civilians will be affected by water supply issues and tens of thousands are fleeing their homes. the destruction of the dam is being discussed. >> the discussion of that dam today puts thousands of civilians at risk and causes severe environmental damage. this is an outrageous act which demonstrates once again the brutality of russia's war in ukraine. >> while the russians deny responsibility for destroying this dam, we should note last october ukrainian president zelensky warned the european council the russians had mined this very dam. dana. >> dana: thank you for the update. fox news alert now. a former intelligence official turned whistleblower accusing

the government of illegally withholding information on ufos. stunning details he says have been kept under wraps. >> bill: the governor of a sank state lambasting ron desantis for sendsing migrants there. >> dana: smash and grab shoplifting is on the rise as prices go up. how it is affecting employees who are told don't even engage with the criminals? onthly expens and get cash? here's a great way to do it. the newday 100 va cash out loan. at newday, our veterans on average pay off $44,000 of high rate debt, take out $28,000 cash and can lower the monthly payments by $500. use your va benefit at newday right now and get the financial peace of mind you've earned with your service. suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night? try vicks sinex for instant relief that lasts up to 12 hours. vicks sinex targets congestion at the source,

>> bill: another democrat leader of a sanctuary state is zeh crying the surge of migrants in his state. california governor newsom threatening florida governor ron desantis with kidnapping charges after flights filled with migrants touched down in sacramento. with us now is leo terrell and geraldo rivera. looking forward to the conversation on this one. i want to draw attention to this tweet that gavin newsom put out yesterday. my jaw hit the florida. he said you small, pathetic man. kidnapping charges, read the following. california state law on kidnapping. leo, we'll start with you. one governor essentially accusing another governor of criminal conduct suggesting criminal charges seems like a

big deal. your reaction. >> it's a governor who is a lame duck in california who gets on his knees who wants to become president. he is attacking ron desantis because gavin newsom has destroyed california. he has made california a sanctuary city. you know what's amazing, bill? he is completely about ron desantis sending migrants to california but what about the el paso mayor? they are sending migrants, oh, he is democrat. nothing more than political grandstanding. every state is a border state and what newsom is complaining about he welcomed. he welcomes everyone to california. that's why california is the worst state in the country. >> bill: back in 2018 newsom tweeted to president trump and said that california is a proud sanctuary state. so your reaction to this beef going on with him and desantis over the new flight to sacramento. >> first of all, bill, i think

we have to stress what governor newsom said of governor desantis. he called him a small, pathetic man. that's an attack that is extraordinary. but he also said he was guilty of borderline human trafficking. you know, state sanked kidnapping is not a public policy choice. immoral and disgusting. i absolutely believe that. there is now the san antonio district attorney in texas, a state you know well, bill, has decided that it was probably kidnapping when governor desantis sent that first batch of texas migrants to martha's vineyard. what in the world is desantis doing getting involved, chartering private planes to take migrants to these high-profile locations? why? just to make a political point. he is using these human beings as political pawns. i think it really is low down and dirty.

>> bill: geraldo. one second. the leader of the democrat city in el paso is doing the exact same and he is busing thousands of migrants to new york city. where is the criticism for him? >> i will give it in one second. i just urge our audience to consider this alternative to this grandstanding and using human beings as pawns. why not give these people temporary work permits? we have 3.7% unemployment in our country. we are desperate here in cleveland, help wanted signs are everywhere. why not give these asill im seekers, give them a temporary work permit to pay for their own way, work rather than welfare? why can't we do that? why can't we get together and pass a simple, simple executive order. president biden should do this. it is his primary responsibility

and shame on the president for not doing a vigorous enough job at this but that's what you need to do. positive thinking. >> thank you very much, bill. you see, bill, you asked him the same question i act. let me answer that the sheriff. he is a democrat. this is purely political. i want to be clear as a lawyer geraldo is a lawyer. kidnapping charges? where is the statements from the individual migrants who said they were kidnapped or misled? all geraldo is doing now is drinking the democratic kool-aid. tell the el paso mayor, democrat sent thousands and the democratic sheriff is a political lackey for the democratic party. answer our questions please, no talking points. >> if these immigrants are fully briefed on what their options are in a fair, full way, then i have no problem with texas

officials dispersing them to locations where they have family, where they have friends, where they have contacts. not take them and send them to martha's vineyard or sacramento, california when they have no connection to those places. this is mean spirited and mall issues, not seeking to cure the problem. this is seeking to hurt and by hurting make a political example and that's why newsom got off the trail and said something as direct and pointed as calling desantis a small pathetic man. >> bill: bottom line here is people have a lot of opinions on what the governors are doing with the busing, the flights. a lot of the migrants you talk to don't want to stay at the border. they want to go across the united states. none of them are being physically forced onto these buses and flights. some are signing consent forms in texas. everybody has an opinion. quick 30 seconds, final thoughts

leo, starting with you. >> no one is being forced as you correctly stated. again, i don't want to waste my 30 seconds. geraldo, the el paso mayor is doing the same thing but you have no criticism of him. bottom line is newsom is bored and wants to run for president and he can't so he attacks governor desantis. shame on him. >> bill: geraldo. >> very quickly governor desantis scored what he thought was a publicity coup with martha's vineyard and using $12 million in state funds to charter private planes, two groups, 120, the other 16, all going to california because he is seeking another hit because he can't live without the juice as he is running for president and in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, so why not get some publicity and get a few headlines in a controversial issue that he thinks the republican base will jump on his

side? this is pure, base politics and shame on governor desantis. >> bill: got to leave it there. thank you for coming on this morning. another great conversation. talk to you guys soon. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana reads sports. ♪ >> dana: tom brady is used to going up against the biggest and baddest nfl players. what scares him now is the tore of terror at disney world. he posted this hilarious photo screaming while his 10-year-old daughter looks completely relaxed. a series of photos of his kids with a trip to the happiest place on earth. what do you think? do you think he is retired full stop? >> bill: full stop. he did the first one and got

fanfare and why the second one was more low key. you only get one retirement announcement. i burned it. >> dana: he really did go to disneyland. >> bill: i think he is done unfortunately. i liked watching him. former new jersey governor chris christie is set to throw his into the white house ring today comes while robert f. kennedy junior is making a play for new hampshire adding a new challenge for president biden. today we're marking the 79th anniversary of d-day. the most epic military campaign in human history. allied invasion of the beaches of normandy gave you the freedom you have today. >> the tide has turned. the free men of the world are marching together to victory. i have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. home ownership has been a struggle. with utility prices rising and...

>> dana: there is a stunning allegation about ufos, a former

u.s. intelligence whistleblower stepping forward with a major claim about a cover-up. chad pergram is live with the details. what will we learn today, chad? >> good morning, dana. this is part of an ongoing effort by congress to get the military and intelligence community to be more transparent about unexplained aerial uaps. the whistleblower is david grush, a former combat officer worked for the geo space shuttle intelligence agencies. he contends the government is withholding information about a partially intact spacecraft of non-human origin. >> these are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles. call it spacecraft if you will. probably not the right parlance but no kidding, non-human, exotic origin vehicles that landed or crashed. we have spice craft from another

species. >> we do. >> how many? >> quite a number. >> fox spoke briefly with him to request an interview but haven't heard back. congress -- lawmakers required a reporting and investigating regimen in a recent military policy bill. lawmakers want explanations. >> unidentified object does not always mean ufo, just means unidentified. you want to protect against panic or setting expectations where they can't go. we owe it to the american people to run every credible claim to the ground. >> indiana democrat carson shared the first hearing on ufos in decades last spring. carson says the reporting system would encourage people to come forward when they are aware of the unexplained. he says superiors did not take people seriously for too long. >> one of the purposes of the

committee that i serve on and the hearing i held, the first hearing in 50 years since project blue book was to encourage folks in the ic and outside of the intel community to come forward with their stories. >> the office of senate intelligence chairman warner declined to comment. grush told the debrief the retrieval and study of things not of this world should no longer remain a secret. >> dana: we'll be paying attention today. thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: you can add yet another candidate to the growing republican 2024 presidential field. former new jersey governor chris christie set to announce his bid for the white house. alexis mcadams joining us live on the campaign trail. another day, another candidate. >> good morning. that's right. another person entering the race here governor chris christie is going to be making that big announcement here in new hampshire at the building behind me during a town hall. he is trying to show voters tonight that he has exactly what

it takes to take former president donald trump head on. this is what we know about tonight's announcement and how things play out later this evening. the former new jersey governor is expected to jump into the race taking the stage during a town hall at the new hampshire institute of politics. it comes as christie is spending more and more time in new hampshire already at his second town hall in the state so far this year. he focused his campaign in 2016 but came in 6th in the primary and dropped out of the race later endorsing former president trump. since then he slammed the former president for a lot of things including january 6th and claiming the election was stolen. the former governor and federal prosecutor wanting the take trump on. he is not a paid assassin he knows trump better than anyone. >> i think chris christie is getting in it to attack trump. i don't think he has any real goals trying to become president. i think it is more of taking someone he doesn't like down.

>> maybe we need new blood and somebody like christie or desantis or just because of what has happened in our world. >> right now, though, bill, chris christie is polling pretty low. political experts say if he gets on the debate stage and takes on trump and tears him apart in a ferocious way could help the other candidates who will also be running. >> bill: it is looking like a lot of bodies on the debate stage with new people joining every day. alexis mcadams live in new hampshire for us. >> let's be very clear. if they think it will be president biden, a vote for president biden is actually a vote for president harris. we're running against kamala harris, make no bones about it. >> dana: she laid out the stakes from her point of view. here is karine jean-pierre responding. >> this is a president that has been attacked during 2020 where people said oh, no one -- he

won't win. he is not able to get it done. there is no way he will be the next president. push >> dana: joining us now the former massachusetts senator scott brown who ran for the same office from new hampshire. great to have you. i want to get to biden in a moment. you have been having candidate forums. nikki haley at your home. in 2016 all the candidates when they went to new hampshire for any sort of interaction with voters the first question asked was about opioids. i'm curious what you are hearing or what the candidates are hearing from new hampshire this time around. >> in 16 -- good to see you both. 16 i had 16 of the 18 presidents at our backyard for a barbecue. opioids is top in new hampshire. we have the flow of opioids coming from china and the security of our border, inflation, high cost of goods,

you name it. gas. there is a lot of very real things happening here in new hampshire and i have a front row seat certainly. people want change. they're tired of the policies that the administration is now pushing and we welcome all these candidates coming through the first in the nation. don't forget. joe biden is blowing off the first in the nation in new hampshire. >> candidate on both sides of the aisle will court new hampshire voters. you talk to them constantly. what would you say are the top three other things new hampshire voters are really focused on? what do the candidates need to hammer home when they meet with new hampshire voters? >> easy. the border. you see what's happening, your previous stories directly relating to that issue. obviously inflation, high cost of goods and become energy

independent. foreign policy. if you go after president trump who has a solid 33 or 35% in new hampshire, people appreciate what he has done in the past but they don't want to look to the past. they want to look to the future. a lot of the candidates running need to point out some of the things that he did not follow through on. whether it was completing the border wall, not paying for it. sitting next to fauci and giving him awards and obviously pushing for that agenda. a lot of things you can go after the president about. i noted you have chris christie. he is probably one of the only guys that actually has gone up against president trump in real life in debate. the other ones don't that have experience and don't know what it is like. if chris christie will make a difference he has to do what he is starting to do. no better town hall person than chris christie. he has to camp here and live here and do the town halls. that's his brand. people dig it. >> dana: there is rnc debate rules to see if that will

happen. let me ask you about president biden in new hampshire. how big a problem does he have with getting on the ballot, dealing with the fact that new hampshire is mad because they want to be first in the nation, the president wants to change that and make it south carolina. and robert f. kennedy junior gets a little attraction in new hampshire and said this yesterday. listen here. >> i think that president biden is not going to even put his name in in iowa and new hampshire. i don't think he will compete. >> dana: what do you think biden's chances are in new hampshire >> shame on the new hampshire delegation fighting for the first in the nation. biden won't be on the ballot. the state legislature and secretary of state are not going to accommodate president biden. he missed the deadline. rfk junior is at 20% and a very

strong message for people. i think he is making a huge mistake and it is almost like the bernie sanders issue back in the day. bernie sanders won new hampshire by 20 points. rfk is poised to do something better. once you get momentum and people recognize. you see biden falling all over the place and questions about his mental and physical health, there is an alternative. right now it's rfk junior. we'll see. it's not over until it's over. >> dana: scott brown, i hope you will come back and visit us. you have a front row seat to everything happening in new hampshire and we'll see a lot of you and the fine folks up there. thank you so much. >> thank you, everybody. >> oh, yeah. thank you. >> thank you for making it work. >> i paid for that. >> another out of control airline passenger marched off the plane if handcuffs. so what caused the chaotic

outburst this time. >> dana: new york health officials are rolling out machines that have narcan. kennedy is on set with her thoughts. there she is. there she is. today's rising prices. lower your monthly payments with the three c's: pay down your credit cards, pay off your car loan, consolidate your debt with a va home loan from from newday. psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist

>> dana: the f.b.i. warning that medical equipment is vulnerable to cyberattacks. the threat affects more than 50% of devices including everything from pacemakers to insulin pumps. dr. marc siegel has the story. doctor, my niece works in this area trying to prevent these things. hospitals can be caught way off guard by this kind of activity. >> absolutely. dana. it is not only your email that can be hacked. it turns out essential medical equipment could, too. any medical device connected to the internet like defibrillators, insulin cuffs are at risk of cyberattack. >> if the patient has a pacemaker and it gets disrupted, that pacemaker may not cause their heart to beat in the way it was set up to do. >> dr. michael says these devices have encryption protocols and monitored to make sure all traffic is from a trusted source. he says there are no reports so

far of any patients' medical devices being hacked. under a new law that went into effect in march the food and truing administration is requiring device manufacturers is calling on them to relate a cybersecurity plan. >> medical device manufacturers need to go in and design a secure product. actors out there profit from impacting medical devices. >> the doctor told me he thinks the new fda rules will be very valuable if helping get older equipment up to speed. he is still concerned. >> internal reality is places like critical access hospitals, hospitals in more rural areas that don't have the technology talent or access to the equipment and people they need that despite the funding it may not be as easy to swap those devices. >> so many rely on technology for essential healthcare.

both experts agree your risk as a pash apt remains very, very low for now. dana. >> dana: dr. siegel, i have to say when you played the sound bite of the cybersecurity expert that's my niece who i was mentioning. it was great to see her. jessica, you are doing a great job. dr. siegel, thank you so much. >> we'll reach out to her next. >> dana: thank you, bill. >> bill: new york city is rolling out a new vending machine not with candy but free narcan. over the counter nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose. you can also get safe smoking crack pipes, first-aid kits and lip balm. kennedy is the host of kennedy save the world podcast. "new york post" sums it up. they titled this, this is the vend. city machine gives out free crack pipes with lit bomb city machine. taxpayer funded. kennedy, why are the taxpayers

being forced to enable addicts? >> those of us in new york city know we pay such high taxes in the city. so much of our tax money is being mismanaged because they are not treating addiction properly. you know, it is harm reduction is one thing. great in theory, but it is not practical the way they're doing it in places like new york city, l.a. san francisco. needle drops are great. you don't want people dying of opioid overdoses but at the same time, you want to reduce drug use. they are not really tackling that. they have plenty of bureaucracy. they have social workers, you have cops, they could be working together better to identify addicts and get them into treatment. that's the big piece of the puzzle that's missing. you don't want to send people to prison. i agree you don't want to overincarcerate people who are
