mounting against this administration and hunter biden. >> carley: so much going on with the biden and biden family and coinciding with the next president elections. we will sigh how all of this shapes up. congressman russell fry. >> absolutely. >> carley: we appreciate you. >> ashley: thanks. >> carley: great to be with you this morning. >> ashley: you as well with that "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day. [shouting] >> brian: we begin with a fox news alert. russians cheering after wagner leaving as almost like heroes. >> ainsley: there hasn't been a public view of the russian head of state since those soldiers marched on moscow over the weekend on saturday. where did he go? alexandria hoff joins us from the washington with the latest. i bet you don't know.

>> i don't think vladimir putin is going to tell me about that at this point, yeah. when it gets to those cheers you just saw. this as the mercenaries were leaving. the residents not applauding the fact that the fighters were departing but the fact that they came in the first place. the wagner group led the most direct challenge to vladimir putin's power in his 23 three rule. prigozhin to leave for belarus that city is now quiet and so is russian president vladimir putin. he has not been seen publicly since delivering an emergency message on saturday where he urged his citizens not to support the wagner group's rebellion. secretary of state anthony blink says this shows cracks in putin's authority. listen. >> the rising storm of prigozhin inside of russia is something that many people have seen over months now. direct challenges to the military leadership. powerful criticism of russia's conduct of its aggression

against ukraine. and now questioning the very premises of the war. >> so taking advantage of this russian chaos. ukraine did launch new counteroffensive. ministry of defense saying made progress specifically in the town of bakhmut. president zelenskyy as you are seeing there he said he spoke with president biden writing it was positive and inspiring conversation. we discussed the course of hostilities and the process taking place in russia. the world must put pressure on russia until international order is restored. well, there is renewed concerns as well over russia's nuclear arsenal. their war head count 5889. that is according to the federation of american scientists. according to china, this weekend, short mutiny is simply a russian internal affair. so they say they are not concerned. their foreign minister announced yesterday that the country would continue to back russia. guys? >> steve: alexandria a thank you very much. >> sure.

>> steve: ultimately what has gone on vladimir putin looked like the strong man over there. >> ainsley: this sends a strong message over there. >> steve: he looks weak. russians with ties to the kremlin relieved after what happened over the last 72 hours or something like that. that there is not a civil war in russia. tearing the town entire country. the future of mr. putin is in doubt. >> ainsley: what made prigozhin stop. he was 125 miles away from moscow. pressing toward. he turned the troops around to avoid spilling russian blood. prigozhin hue mitt united stated putin and the state. showed no longer a monopoly on violence. he made a deal with the belarus. in exchange for charges being dropped. there is no sign of him. speculation that he fled to africa, possibly or maybe the

middle east, but is he silent on social media, which is uncharacteristic to him. >> brian: amazing. when zelenskyy is attacked do you want a ride out? no. i need armor. i'm going to stay and fight. and is he fighting for 15 months. when vladimir putin gets threatened by his own mercenary force, he runs to st. petersburg there goes the difference in character. to your point. this is what the instituted for the study of war says happened. they start moving towards moscow get 180 niles from moscow. prigozhin observed he didn't get the military to follow him. oh my goodness, i have got # thousand people 50 imwraps and tanked i'm organized. killed 40 people. but, if i get to moscow take the country with 4,000. so when the momentum started shifting and he felt he had the rest of the russian portions with him even though the population who seems to be supported by this telegram video we are seeing okay, i'm going to

get a deal. he calls over to vladimir putin. putin doesn't get on the line. the chief of staff does. negotiate a cers cursory deal with belarus. they pull back. he has now disappeared. putin has not been heard from. prigozhin has not been heard from. think about this. you don't dispatch 25,000 mercenaries and fold them into the regular russian army when they were giving each other's positions up to the ukrainians and prigozhin came out and said this war is unnecessary. it is dumb. there are no nazis in the ukraine. nato was never a threat. so he says that and they said okay. now that bakhmut you didn't take bakhmut. we are going to put you into the regular army you are getting out of control. that's when this move happened. >> ainsley: opening for another group to form and go after putin. >> you know this big gas company there has their own militia force because they were worried about their own future because they have their own money their own accounts and vladimir putin,

again we heard new the morning on saturday and haven't heard from you since. this is crazy. >> steve: he has projected himself as a strong man and now he just doesn't look so strong. do you know who is terrified about it? the elites in russia who have made sure this guy was in charge. going forward, there are some russians who said that maybe, keep in mind, stability was the kremlin's refrain from the 2020 referendum and that cleared the way for putin to serve two more terms until 2036 believe it or not suddenly he doesn't look so strock. can he not guarantee the safety and security. they don't like that. mr. putin, he might not think about buying green bananas, just saying. >> this is the biggest threat to putin in his 23 year reign. and he had a message, a video message. he had that press conference and

giving video messages not doing anything live for obvious reasons. he doesn't want people to track where he is. this is the stab in the back of our troops and people of russia, what we are facing now is treason. >> is that from saturday? >> i'm not sure. i just read that in an article. >> i think there is more from saturday. since that time we don't know where he is. >> ainsley: we haven't heard from him. other thing to keep in mind, too. you have a war going on. ukraine says listen, you are always worried about -- what is vladimir putin going to do. you just saw that a militia group of 4,000 people that he created got within 125 miles of moscow. 157 miles. having seen that, knowing they could have went right there and knowing they were just protected by national guard troops because most of russia's army is just doing their best, which is not good in ukraine. give the ukrainians what they need to be successful. get them the atacms. get them the f-16s and force russia out and stop this cancer

on the world and that is vladimir putin and this terrible government which is not right for the russian people. >> steve: the cover of the "new york post" perfectly summarizes it. putin on the fritz. that's not so funny what is going on. do you know who is still aligned with putin russia and china. here is the former president in michigan over the weekend. >> the u.s.a. is a mess. it's a total mess. our economy is crashing. inflation is out of control. china, russia, iran, and north korea have formed together in a menace ago and destructive coalition. not even believable that russia and china would be together. they are natural enemies because of their land. >> they are natural. joe biden and obama pushed them together. no reason for it. amazing that it happened. but now they are together and it is menacing. >> brian: only 20% of the country thinks we are on the right track. so the president's message is

probably on message. because and this has been the longest period ever in modern history where america has said 20% to 30% think we are on the right track and 70% don't. that's a pretty scary situation but right for opposition party to take power, i would think. but head to head, donald trump is increasing power on the right. but according to an nbc poll over the weekend he loses to joe biden by 4. and desantis and joe biden are at a dead heat at 47% and 47%. >> steve: we have got all those numbers coming up in the next hour. in the meantime crazy weather over the weekend. >> ainsley: incredible video of tornado ripping through a neighborhood in indiana. janice dean is tracking all the severe weather for us. >> brian: hunter biden enjoying a weekend at w. dad camp david after a state dinner after a sweetheart deal on tax and gun charges. >> it was appropriate for hunter biden to be at this same event as the attorney general, merrick garland was in the same week he

accepted a plea deal? >> you know, i think as the president explains, that's his son. that's a separate thing. >> brian: really? big question this week should president biden be impeached over his family's business dealings after all if we were to believe that whatsapp's tax he was sitting there the whole time. we are going to try to consider that next. ♪ at mint mobile, we like to do the opposite

of what big wireless does. they charge you a lot. we charge you a little. they put their names on arenas. we put ours on my lower back. so naturally when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due to not hating you. and if this were one of their ads, they'd end it here with a "happy customer". so we'll end ours with an angry goat. oh h-ho, look at the angry goat.

>> carley: back with a fox news alert. alarm reported at jackson parent in the this morning as severe storms caused say cass or travelers. over 80 flights have already been canceled as frustrated passengers complain about airport conditions. claiming there is no food or water available. the faa blaming the stormy weather for the cancellations. the u.s. coast guard is bringing on a marine board of investigations to look into the fatal titan submersible implosion as they refuse to rule out the possibility of finding remains. officials will be looking into voice recordings and data from the sub's mothership in shows of finding out exactly with what went wrong. possible civil or criminal

sanctions could be pursued after the findings. florida governor ron desantis will roll out his immigration plan later this morning after touring the southern border yesterday. he called out president biden's handling of the crisis and previewed his plan in exclusive interview with fox news' bill melugin. >> the parole is he doing is unconstitutional. we actually won against him in court in florida. we have sued him on things like catch and release. is he abusing the law to basically change the law to allow people to have an open border. we're going to deputize state and local officials to also enforce immigration laws. >> ainsley: desantis taking both a boat and helicopter tour through eagle pass, texas. just minutes into the journey he witnessed groups of migrants crossing through the water to enter the united states. and to the usfl playoffs as the birmingham stallians stampede past the breakers and into the championship game. >> absolutely does. under pressure.

josh johnson and that's another birmingham touchdown. >> team's 47-22 win. they are going to face the pittsburgh maulers in the championship on saturday. maulers coach ray horton will join us next hour to preview that matchup. those are your headlines, guys, over to you. >> brian: year two almost done. that's amazing. see what happens. >> ainsley: thank you, carley. >> steve: indeed. at the end of last week and i apologize i wasn't here. i was busy for the most part playing pit pickleball every da. big news hunter biden indicted couple charges on old taxes and also a plea deal on a gun charge to a lot of people it just looked like two tiers of justice because it's a sweetheart deal and it just so happens that he is the son of the president of the united states. so it was just kind of odd that there is hunter biden and joe

biden getting on the plane for camp david on saturday. you can see him out at joint base andrews as they get on to marine one. and there's joe, i think that's with one of his grandkids right there. and some online have suggested okay, so joe and hunter are going off to camp david? what are they doing? are they getting their story straight? because, when you factor in this whatsapp message, where hunter biden sounds like a mob boss trying to shake somebody down saying i'm sitting here with my dad, you want to know that it was thoroughly investigated. and now we know that apparently the irs and the fbi both investigated it but they kicked it to the department of justice and the doj sat on it, slow-walked it and ultimately that's why people feel justice is not being served. >> ainsley: yeah, two tiers. if you compare what other celebrities. what happened to them when they didn't file their taxes or didn't pay their taxes, brian and i were talking about this. brian mentioned wesley snipes last week and he said three years in federal prison, i

started looking into it, the situation, the guy from jersey shore. mike saharan teen know he pleaded guilty to taxes ja rule the wrapper pleaded guilty. 28 months in prison. darryl strawberry three months in prison. three months house arrest. theresa and new jersey housewives. >> steve: a lot of jersey on that list. >> ainsley: chuck berry 120 days. that's what happens to other celebrities. when it's the president's son it appears to be a slap on the face -- a slap on the wrist. he appears at a state dinner and going to camp david with his dad. >> brian: with attorney general at the state dinner. bigger story as much as that seems inequitable when gary shapley comes out as the whistleblower and talks about how the investigation didn't go and talks about how they wanted special prosecutor status david weiss rejected bringing to d.c.

and los angeles earlier than did he as they find out they were not able to find and trail the international business dealings that he did, which landed paul manafort in solitary confinement until he was pardoned by donald trump. this is -- and it's not 1.5 million according to shapley, it's 17 point plus million he didn't pay taxes on. this was over a series of five years. if you listen to this whistleblower testimony, shapley, we know the other person's name we don't know. this is so much bigger than well, the president -- the president has influence and his son got a sweetheart deal. it's what they didn't look into which might have impeachment hearings coming to the department of justice. his head attorney general. senator klobuchar says it's no big deal. >> brought up the state dinner. do you think it was appropriate for hunter biden to be at the same event as the attorney general merrick garland was in the same week he accepted a plea

deal? >> you know, i think as the president explained that's his son. that's a separate thing. by the way, if that's what the republicans want to run on in the coming election, good luck. because the president is going to be able to run on the strength of his work and bringing 13 million jobs back to america there are all these questions and goes back to remember october from this couch how "the washington post" had a story fbi agents said you know what? we have enough stuff on hunter biden we can indict him right now. through all of that, we have been told that merrick garland has said that the u.s. attorney for delaware, david weiss was in total control of the investigation he is the guy decide what would happen. mr. weiss shocked fbi and irs agents in october of 2022 which

exactly coincides with the "the washington post" story mr. weiss said i'm not the deciding official. gary shapley was so shocked. he wrote it down. sent it off to a memo to other people so they can corroborate his story other agents know exactly what mr. weiss said. mr. weiss said i'm not the guy who gets to decide. you have got the attorney general saying he is. what they need to do, the republicans need to call in mr. shapley. u.s. attorney david wise, the attorney general and just say okay, mr. shapley, what did you hear? mr. weiss, what did you say? mr. attorney general, what is going on? you can solve the problem right there. because somebody is not telling the truth. >> ainsley: the president was saying fire that prosecutor in ukraine. if you don't, i'm not giving you government money, taxpayer dollars. and then we are learning that last week we learned there's

this whatsapp message that is crazy. this is what was released from that whistleblower, mr. shapley. he said we have this what's app. from 2007. this is hunter biden saying i'm sitting here with my father. he would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. he goes on to say if i get a call or text from anyone other n. this other than you or zhang or the chairman i will make certain between the man sitting next to me and every person he notes my ability to forever hold a grudge and you will regret not following my direction. that's a threat. >> brian: by the way garland called a press conference right away and i he had said i emphasize weiss was never prevented from bringing charges in other jurisdictions and delaware. so someone is not telling the truth. let's see what happens. i think these irs people already put their reputation as the line and careers in jeopardy and do. this i have an offer for senator klobuchar. nobody in the right will bring up any problems with hunter biden and joe biden's international business dealings. don't bring up any legal problems with trump.

because the only thing if trump gets the nomination. only thing they will run against is january 6th, the indictment in new york. and the documents at mar-a-lago. so if the country has things that have to be solved, don't distract it for two and a half years with a russian probe and go on every sunday show a saying russia is the most important thing. and then when it turns out to be a ruse never apologize and apologize. when we look into joe biden's dealings with that led him to the white house. then people don't care about that. nobody is buying it. >> this is pretty easy to solve. just bring in the attorney general, the u.s. attorney, and the whistleblower have them lined up, ask them 12 questions and we will have the answer whether or not the doj slow walked the investigation we have the speaker of the house coming up in 90 minutes. >> ainsley: i don't think we will have time to ask him 12 questions but we ask him a few. steve there will be 12 republicans, 1 democrats. >> ainsley: i'm talking about mccarthy. >> brian: let's hope.

a shirtless r.f.k. jr. pumping iron and doing pushups like heath on our staffer to get in shape for the date with president biden. look at that he is very impressive. also bench pressing over the weekend, too. will it work? >> ainsley: plus, oh, dough, the left's latest target, wood fired pizzas. >> brian: in new york. >> ainsley: delivery man stuart varney joins us live. >> steve: better be coal fired. >> brian: american built ♪ that new neighbor is hot! that's my husband... it's the inspire implant. he's not struggling with cpap anymore. all that rest is working wonders for him. inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com.

march to moscow. the next guest says he doesn't buy that for a minute. long time kremlin critic going to join us next. could be turbulent summer for travel. warning of air traffic delays and you won't believe what could cause it. we will tell you coming up. oh, no. ♪ i don't know where my home is ♪ and baby, i'm going to needng. for you.

>> probably don't have to tell you wagner chief very good prigozhin claiming march on this weekend claiming he wanted to blood shed. next guest says doesn't make sense and questioning behind the move. blacklisted russiansecurity 200. arch enemy of vladimir putin ever since. he is the reason by the that begin ski act which was the name of his lawyer killed because of vladimir putin. bill, your reaction to first off this chain of events the biggest threat to vladimir putin since he took power. >> putin, the reach is he in power and stayed in power for so long is he is seen as a ruthless dictator a strong man.

someone everyone is afraid of. all of a sudden the king is not wearing any clothes. the fact that a rag tag grouch mercenaries, 8,000 strong can take over one of the biggest cities in russia with a huge military base without any resistance shows and clad with flowers and selfies shows that this whole thing of putin being the strong man is not true that has dangerous. i wanted to be president and have all this money and be so powerful. they are going to come at him. putin has a real big problem. he has to figure out how to reassert his authority right now because it doesn't look good for him. >> brian: you were just telling me in the break anybody against him wants to look tough kill them. ax in the head. prigozhin has the best force in russia.

i'm not sure who is still with them. i know they were actually turning over locations and details about the russian army and the russian army was giving up details and logistics about the wagner group to the ukrainians. i don't think prigozhin that is that afraid of putin. he might be biden his time for another run at this? i think he is going to keep his head down. i suspect that when he was on the road to moscow. they probably got his family. they probably got to a bunch of things he cares about and he probably has to back off. imagine this, i mean, putin, he we regards disloyalty with

poison. prigozhin is the most disloyal. you would imagine he would take him to red scare and put him in a guillotine and chopped his heads off. he didn't. that would suggest prigozhin has a few aces in his pocket as well. specifically prigozhin has been responsible for all sorts of there is 17 countries where whistleblower is operational. he is a guy like right in the center of almost everything. he may be a monstrous character but pretty valuable to russia. so, i don't think they could get rid of him. at least at this moment. >> brian: exactly. and the thing is he had to cut deal to let him go. is he only guarded by national guardsmen. this wagner group 4,000 to 8,000 takes out 40 guys. multiple helicopter pilots along the way. and they say to themself nobody stopping him watched the cheering. this he came out and said this war is dumb.

a stupid war, there are no nazis in ukraine. nato has never been a threat and he talked about refusing to be folded into the regular russian army after he made that statement he be part of the force or leave he says i have an idea i will take the country. he stops 200 miles. it's like if we had a bunch of tanks rolling down 95 towards the white house and mysteriously they stop 100 miles out and disperse. there is something that doesn't add up sushily proctor & gamble missed by a bunch of guys in moscow. that's why he had the guts to take it. as he was on the road. i think those people got cold feet and that's why the whole thing ended up stopping he knew he wasn't going to get the support he needed. no way that 8,000 wagner troops can take over 150 million people

unless he has other people on side. i think putin probably got to those people biggest show of disrespect can you imagine. russia is like a prison yard. putin has survived as head of the yard by going and shanking a few people at the very beginning and glaring at everybody ever since. now all of a sudden the head of the prison yard is not so tough. that's putin's problem is right now. >> other people do the shanking he dots arguing. we watched him it run to st. petersburg when things got tough. that's not the sign of a tough guy. bill browder thank you very much. very few like did you as it full display for the world to see. carley shimkus has more. >> carley: more news back here at home. heated moment in seattle as a preacher attempts to read from the bible in a middle of a pride

>> transportation secretary pete buttigieg warning of massive travel disruptions this summer due to a july 1st 5g expansion which will interfere with equipment on older planes. the secretary telling the "wall street journal," quote: there's a real risk of delays or cancellations. this represents one of the biggest, probably the biggest foreseeable problem affecting performance this summer. that's not what we want to hear. according to mr. buttigieg, around 80% of domestic airliners, around 65% of international airliners have made the necessary changes to

prevent 5g interference. should would he be worried? joining us with his take is retired airline captain and aviation expert mike callfield. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. gade great to see you this morning we leave the idea of 5gs because our phone work better but no idea so much interference with an airplane. >> it's like a swimming pool, the communication lanes in a poll are set up in specific segments. and if you stay in those lanes, there is not any issues. as they up the power on the 5g we will see some kind of push against those lane walls. >> steve: you know better than anybody about the interference with the radio and guidance system, once upon a time you worked for coincidental out of newark airport where i fly out of fly out of twice a week. you noticed anomaly quite

dangerous as people were trying to land plane, what was happening? the new jersey turnpike runs right along the runway and what we were seeing is for some reason the airplanes were getting down close to the ground and then the auto pilots were cutting off because there was interference and it turns -- and we continued to see this over the test period of about e oh, a month or so. and we started of asking questions and it turned out. that radar detectors on trucks on interstate 95 were encroaching on the airline's lane markers for the communication ability. >> steve: that's just crazy. we are all worried because july 1st, end of this week. they are going to up the 5g and whatnot. it sounds like most airlines have updated things but how do you know if you are or an airplane that has not been

updated? you are not going to go other than the weather goes down and your airplane gets canceled that's probably an indication that's one of the planes they hadn't worked on. >> steve: we should expect more cancellations although, mike, is that possible? we see so many cancellations every week and every day. >> i looked this morning, even in the northeast out of newark, laguardia, down to dc 8 there is quite a few cancellations even this morning on a morning that there is not a great deal of weather in the northeast region. >> steve: ultimately though, mike, exit question, as they try to figure out 5g thing it's going to be a little more efficient to the airlines closer on the dial, right? >> correct. you will be able to have the technology is going to be greater to allow the carriers to use new technologies and be more efficient; however, this wasn't the solution.
