won't stop their investigation. >> brian: rich edson joins us now from the white house with the latest on hunter biden's federal tax case. rich? >> rich: good morning, guys. well, you know, president biden is traveling back today. he has been in california for a couple of days. a two-day trip with meetings and speeches. a lot of fundraising. the president did react a bit to what we heard from come from his son's legal issues earlier in this week. he was asked after a meeting with a.i. experts what he thought about his son settling these charges. >> mr. president, have you spoken to your son today? have you spoken to him today? >> mr. president, any reaction to -- >> i'm very proud of my son. >> there you have it. hunter biden's attorney says it's his understanding the five-year investigation into the president's son is resolved.

the sources into the matter verse the investigation is still officially open should any new information surface. >> the investigation into the bidens on capitol hill is still open. house oversight committee chairman james comer says he reviewed go unclassified fbi forms regarding a foreign national who claimed to have bribed then vice president joe biden. >> well, unfortunately, we saw a lot redactions in these documents. i would estimate that 55 to 60% of the two documents were redacted. it's just a complete waste of my time. it's another example of the fbi stalling, stonewalling, doing everything they can to obstruct the house oversight committee's example of biden bribery. >> oversight committee congressman jamie raskin said he also reviewed the fbi documents. claimed they are not related to any corruption allegations and he doesn't understand comer's accusations on hunter's plea deal committee republicans are using these documents to try to breathe new life into baseless allegations against the president that were first

leveled by rudy giuliani and were examined and investigated by trump's own justice department in 2020. it may be time to find a new wild goose chase. meanwhile, house committee on ways and means chairman jason smith is holding a special session on that committee to potentially begin to look at documents, tax documents that are protected by privacy laws part of this whistleblower complaint against hunter biden, the president's son. back to you. >> lawrence: unbelievable. >> brian: rich, good job. bring in g.o.p. congressman mike turner member of the house oversight committee and chair of the house oversight committee. first off, chairman, your response to what hunter has been charged with a plea deal that will keep him out of jail? >> this is a ridiculous sweetheart deal as everyone has been identifying it. they call it a pre-trial agreement. in fact it's precharge. they didn't bring charges against hunter until they already had this deal buttoned up which is basically giving him

a free pass. in the end though, he will be a convicted felon and this will not impact the house investigation on the sources of these funds and from what we understand and from what you heard from the department of justice, the investigations are ongoing in the department of justice, also concerning the sources of those funds, which are very questionable, his dealings in ukraine and also the new documents that make allegations that even the then joe biden vice president might have been involved. >> ainsley: what's your reaction to james comer saying that he will continue this investigation into the biden family alleged scheme trading unless millions of dollars for policy, for laws to be changed? >> right. so the allegations in the fbi document, which i have read, are very serious. and they certainly lay out a scheme that's very consistent with what the government reform committee and chairman comer has been finding in other questionable payments that have been made and other business

relations and structures that seem to have no real basis for business and raise the question of whether or not money laundering was occurring. >> lawrence: you know, chairman, kodak black, a rapper's attorney says he hasn't seen a deal like this in 26 years gun charge as well as a tax charge and you get a sweet deal like this. >> ainsley: what did kodak get in trouble for? >> brian: wrong social security on a gun form. >> ainsley: and he went to prison? >> lawrence: exactly. average every day americans experienced the same thing. i'm being told that a deal like this also has to be approved by the deputy attorney general. so, i guess my question is, does congress plan on hauling these people down to figure out what's going on? because whether you have average day americans getting one deal and the president's son getting another deal.

that seems like that deserves some oversight. >> lawrence, you are absolutely right. i mean, what we are seeing here is really the perversion of justice, it matters who son you are. certainly in this instance it mattered if you were the son of the united states a pointed the attorney general who is over the department of justice that's overseeing your investigation which unbelievably took five years and did not need to take five years. and then resulted in this slap on a wrist deal. this certainly is a travesty of justice. i can tell you hunter is not out of the woods yet though. and the house -- the oversight committee is on the issue of the source of these funds because there is no real clarity -- >> lawrence: i'm sorry to interrupt, congressman, do you all plan on bringing the deputy attorney general to explain why they approved this deal? >> well, lawrence, i think certainly you are going to see several chairman of committees attempt do so. the issue that you've raised is a very important one that is

unequality of justice -- inequality of justice. we are seeing that come out of the fbi on routine basis when it comes to celebrity democrats and we are certainly seeing it here. >> brian: let's talk about the durham report. we are going to see very fascinating testimony today, but you got behind closed doors yesterday. and most everybody is praising the professionalism because there is no cameras rolling and the information that durham was saying. before i get to your take on it. jim himes came out and said it's very clear there was a problem but they said, to summarize, there was no political bias that they found. they found problems with the investigation and predetermined ideas where the investigation should go before you investigated. but no politicization or anti-g.o.p. motivation. did you find that same thing? >> no. and neither did durham. i mean, if you read the end of his report. he clearly sets out that there is a bias that resulted in both the investigation being opened

wrongly and he sets out a path of misconduct throughout the fbi. and that's what we're going to hear today. we heard yesterday mr. durham is very committed to the issue ever identifying there was misconduct under the comey fbi and the department of justice reviewing this issue and pursuing donald trump. imagine that the two years we lost as a country and what happened to the trump presidency as a result of these baseless allegations and we have the horowitz investigation, the mueller investigation, the durham investigation, the nunez investigation, all finding the same thing these were baseless allegations a result of the clinton plan that hillary clinton paid for these allegations to basically be put forth as opposition research that found its way to the fbi and became a full blown investigation. this is politically bias. this is obviously misconduct. this is the other aspects of what we are worried about at the fbi. >> ainsley: and hymes is a democrat from connecticut maybe that he that is why he is saying

that, brian. >> a former official confirms a chinese scientist by the name of ben ho funded by u.s. grants was working in the wuhan lab and one of the researchers who fell sick. all three scientists fell ill with covid-19-like symptoms. this was november of 2019. so does this give credibility to the theory that this started, it originated in a lab? >> i think there is a number -- yes. i think there is a number of things that lend itself to the conclusion that this was a lab leak. as you know, congress voted unanimously to require the administration to declassify the information that it had on the covid origins. they were just supposed to release that june 17th and missed that date. we're pressing them now to make that information publicly available. i have seen most of the classified portions of the report that the president had ordered and the 90-day review. in that i think people are going

to be surprised because that report is very, very different than what the administration released publicly. they are going to have a greater picture and i think this is going to help us get to the bottom of it. >> lawrence: what is the hold up, congressman. what is so sensitive that it can't be released to the american people. >> and it's going to be. i mean, by law, it is. the president signed it. congress unanimously passed it. they are late. but this is going to be released to the public. i think it's certainly going to help form the discussion. >> brian: congressman turner, thanks so much. look forward to the testimony today. >> thanks, guys. >> brian: fox news alert. rescue crews say they heard banging every 30 minutes near the area where the titanic submersible disappeared. >> lawrence: race against time as experts warn the vessel has just 24 hours left of oxygen. >> ainsley: so shocking that they are banging or could possibly be. lucas tomlinson has the latest for us. >> a glimmer of hope that a deep sea submersible still alive with an estimated 24 hours of oxygen remaining. the u.s. coast guard tweeting

overnight quote, canadian p 3 aircraft detected noises in the search area. operations were located in an attempt to explore the origin of those noises. remote operated vehicle serchesz have yielded so far negative results. the pentagon has dispatched aircraft to drop sonar buoys floating microphones usually used to find submarines. a former navy officer described how they are being used. >> they picked up a banging sound from one particular sound of buoys, they will know when they heard that sound and be able to triangulate and listen to some of the other recordings they may have made from other sonar vessels sonar and figure out what height that came from. >> there were five people aboard the titan submersible diving on the titanic 12,000 feet of wa water: a friend described the agony of waiting. >> it gives me hope. it means life.

if it is every 30 minutes, that means they're alive. now all these what-if questions come into play. what if they are alive. >> what if they can't get rescued? what if they run out of oxygen? is it them? is it not them? it's terrifying. >> a former employee of the private company who operates a submersible had warned of safety problems going back to 2018. the same year diving experts warned the company about similar issues. quote: our apprehension is that the current experimental approach adopted by ocean gate could result in negative outcomes from minor to catastrophic that would have had serious consequences for everyone in the industry. now, david lock ridge, the director of marine operations for the company says he was promptly fired after raising those safety concerns, guys. >> brian: thanks so much. >> lawrence: thanks, lucas. >> brian: anyone watch part two interview of donald trump with

bret baier? i thought it was interesting how vaccine how it's looked at and sees disloyalty with ron desantis and nikki haley in the big picture and doesn't look like he is interested in debating. >> ainsley: let's take a listen. >> i got him elected. and i thought it was very disloyal when he said yes, i would run. i got him past two race. i got him past the primary because he was losing by 30 points or more. >> bret: a loyalty question. >> yes. i'm a big loyalist. some people in this room have told me sir, don't worry about loyalty. loyalty doesn't mean anything in politics i said to me it does. i got the guy elected. >> bret: do you see him as the biggest threat. >> well, he is the number two right now yeah, at some place he could be replaced. the way he is going right now he is dropping like a rock. he could be number three or four and you won't hear me talking about him again. it i like fighting number two is he not close. i'm leading him about 45 or 50

points. >> ainsley: he is ahead. >> brian: 21. >> ainsley: 21 point lead. but according to this new poll he slipped a little after the indictment which was in may. may he had 53% and now he has 47. mike pence gone up. can you see a few points. >> lawrence: tim scott. >> ainsley: tim 2 points. everyone else about the same. ron desantis is the same. >> lawrence: interesting thing as you just noted, ron desantis didn't get any of those trump voters that was there. i think now when i talk with republican voters, especially the base, there are two schools of thought, there is part of the party, especially the base that is outraged by the indictment and feels like there's a double down now. they are totally -- they are not moving from trump camp. >> ainsley: they don't think it's fair. >> lawrence: they continue to attack the president by

extension. attacking them. as his supporters. and then there is the school of thought which those few points that i'm assuming that are leaving, that say, look, we support the former president but it seems like they are not going to stop until they get him. and we can't afford another joe biden presidency. the risk is too high. >> brian: i can't wrap my head around at some of the arguments at trump. trump is vulnerable. he is not vulnerable on the wall. he had to re-purpose deference spending in order to get 450 miles of wall. they say 54. much more was new. some was split rail fence. he was building that wall. number two, is he not susceptible to fauci. fauci was the most popular person nonofficial in the country. despite how we feel now and maybe how you felt then, the majority of the country would have destroyed president trump had he fired anthony fauci who ronald reagan and george bush and all these people thought was an american hero during the aids

crisis. he did push fauci back. >> lawrence: left it up to the states. >> brian: if he fired fauci, it would have been a political disaster during a time of massive uncertainty. that is a dry hole to attack donald trump on. i think donald trump should embrace operation warp speed. man, he got rid of bureaucracy to get a vaccine that were for the most part saved lives. but joe biden ruined it by mandating it and forcing division in our country and vilifying those who were hesitant about it. trump said here it is, governors, you do what you want. i thought empowering governors was an asset. now they are trying to say that's negative. trump is vulnerable on things but not on those things in my view. >> lawrence: also being attacked on his jumps that he appointed as well. ron desantis said they are not conservative enough. >> brian: what? >> lawrence: he said they weren't conservative enough. by the way, if those yusk justices aren't there.

>> brian: you mean the judges or justices. >> lawrence: the justices. you don't get the repeal of roe v. wade. so, again, there is plenty of things to attack donald trump on. but. >> brian: not those things. >> lawrence: it's not working that much. >> ainsley: we were energy independent. our gas prices were low. we were in a better financial situation. they say inflation is the number one issue. the economy is the number one issue for most voters. prices have gone up with this administration. and we're not making as much in our paycheck because of that. inflation is higher than it has been in decades. tim scott took the stage last night in myrtle beach with sean hannity. he had a town hall. and he just took over and sean sat there and let him just talk. sean spent the first 15 minutes talking about biden and the indictment and his charges and that plea deal. and then tim scott was interviewed poor about 45 minutes, and he just took over. i have never seen him that strong. i really liked watching that. and he said that he wants to start the keystone pipeline again. he wants to secure our border. $10 billion to finish the wall.

>> i thought of you, brian, you always talk about the wall just sitting there rotting. 5 billion for surveillance to detect fentanyl. i didn't know they could do that surveillance video to detect drugs and then give back the abcs and not crt he said. here's a little bit more of that. >> we're going to fire merrick garland and fire christopher wray. we're going to restore confidence, integrity in our department of justice the radical left and ideology is a problem like cancer metastasizing across our country. we are now living in a place where the radical left telling you and me that the drug of victim hood is what we should take. the culture of grievance is pervasive around this country. i want to be the president who stands up to the radical left and says no more. i believe that we must have school choice. [applause]

in order for us to take the power from the teachers unions, we have got break the back of the teachers unions which means destroying the monopoly they have over our kids which requires us to have school choice because every kid and every zip code deserves quality education. >> quickly, if i'm tim scott and i'm his campaign manager. i'm making sure every interview includes people. it's clear there's a different tim scott when he is there with the people talking with them. he feeds off the crowd. >> he is talking directly to him. it's much different than just talking to a camera. >> ainsley: how does the black community react to that message on victim hood if you watch "the view" and what some of those ladies say they don't agree with him on that. >> lawrence: i think tim scott's biggest asset when is he talking about the business community. he was a businessman before. there is a lot of black folks that -- one of the things is he gonna go up against as well and he was very instrumental and back when trump was in office is trump has a lot of support

amongst black males. and it's because of that economic policy. they just wanted the government to get out of the way and give them the tools in the sense of removing the regulation so they can support their families and a lot of us believe that. >> ainsley: well, tim scott is responsible for the opportunity and help so many people. >> lawrence: ron desantis is actually going after as well with the first step act. i mean, it's just nonsense what is going on. anyway, carley, you have some headlines. >> carley: i certainly do. we will start with a story we have been following. the new york city man accused of fatally stabbing a convict punched him on the subway breaks his silence in the case. jordan williams told the "new york post," quote: it's scary. i will tell you that nothing i ever want to experience again when which is all over. it's a terrible situation. but i am trying to get through it. williams faces a manslaughter charge. he says hechchnd reconnecting ws faith as he is free on bail. a california supermarket now

youngs kids are very vulnerable, teenagers, preteens. they are insecure by nature. and now when you start to compare yourself to everybody else. the eventual mindset is hey, everybody else's life is perfect and my life really stinks. so, you know, it's unfortunate, but, you know, we need to have these conversations and parents need to step up to the plate and start setting parameters. >> brian: ten mesha, do you know what they're talking about in congress stopping kids from having social media 16 and 17 years old is that possible today? if you knew you couldn't have a phone certain time can't drink and drive until a certain age, is it possible from what you are living? there will be a fallout. it will help. i didn't allow my own son to have social media until tenth grade year. can i see a big difference in comparison to his friends because he could care less about what is going on that's because his social media experience was

the house judiciary committee plans its own set of hearings looking at hunter. and, as part of this agreement, hunter will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his income tax. he will also admit to separate felony firearm offenses. and hunter faces fines of up to $25,000. he also agreed to a pre-trial diversification agreement for the gun charge, which i assume is like a pre-trial intervention. he allegedly lied on a gun form in 2018 saying he was not a user or he was not addicted. and, remember, he also was discharged from the navy in 2014 for testing positive to cocaine. and then probation for tax violations. and unlikely to serve any time in prison. i guess, because of who he is. anyone else charged with these type of gun charges usually serves time behind bars. let's walk over here. we have matt whitaker with us. >> good morning. >> ainsley: former acting attorney general good to see you. >> good to see you. >> ainsley: most people facing

these types of charges i understand the tax charges he didn't pay $100,000 in 2017, $100,000 in 2018. he paid it. that's over and done with. the gun charges, when you hear of these rappers like kodak black who lied on his form and had to spend time behind bars and then you look at hunter biden, is it because of his last name? >> i think it has to be. five and a half years as a u.s. attorney and we put people in jail for this crime. and, you know, the atf has a zero tolerance policy the doj and joe biden have been trying to reduce gun violence by cracking down on felons in possession by drug dealers in possession. and even, you know, form mistakes by ffls which are the firearm license -- licensed firearm dealers. as i look at this case, you know, we now appears to have a royal family. where, you know, the king and the children of the king and the prince can do whatever they want. the reps of america including poor black children can't commit

these type of crimes and avoid prison. it's an exceptional deal. >> ainsley: his attorney was talking about fairness. listen to this. >> the prosecutors are not asking for jail time. are you concerned that the judge here might freelance? >> i think, you know, look, there are documents that haven't been publicly released yet. i think people have reported what the prosecutors are asking for. i think the judge is going to do what's fair. i think what's fair is, you know, my client gets on with his life. >> ainsley: the judge still has to accept this plea deal. will that happen? >> if i'm the judge, i would say this is an extraordinary deal. you know, this judge has probably never seen this judge this lenient on a defendant for these type of charges. >> ainsley: even though he is clean now. >> we should all celebrate that but, all of us, you know, because our founding fathers didn't create a royal family. they created citizens, all of us should have equal justice under the law. and we shouldn't have a case

like hunter biden that is so exceptional, so i expect the judge will have a lot of questions. >> ainsley: no matter what the judge says, can his dad pardon him? >> of course the president's pardon power is absolute under the constitution. obviously the on optics of all of this. they want it to look like hunter biden is paying a price but he doesn't have to go jail. instance ains right. >> ainsley: this the florida judge set a trial date for the trump classified document case for august 14th. many were speculating that that date would be pushed back because they wanted to wait until maybe after the election. are you surprised? >> this is the first trial calendar setting. it's going to be within the speedy trial window. this is about as late as you could have set it and comply with the constitution and the laws. i expect that the trump team will ask for an extension and will be granted because, as you know, it's bumping right up against the primary calendar including the first debate that fox news is having. >> ainsley: will he be able to keep bumping it until after the

election? >> i think they will give a date that they think they can get prepared, considering that the president has the campaign running, so, i would expect in my experience that it probably will go well beyond, you know, august, maybe even into 2024 or 2025. >> ainsley: we will be watching. so great to see you in person. coming up. drill, baby, drill. trump sounds off on biden's oil reversal. >> we created a machine and the oil was starting. we were energy independent. it was all done. they are getting ready to drill and biden ended it. >> south dakota's governor kristi noem agrees and she is coming up. first, skip bedell is here. his top products to keep our pet and our houses clean if you fu.
