july 5th just one day after our nation's birthday. steve doocy and i are here in new york city live, but griff jenkins is live from the youtubing box diner in manassas virginia. how's it going there? >> griff: it's fantastic and i cannot recommend the cheesecake higher here at the jukebox diner. i know you're not supposed to have pie for breakfast but i am breaking all the rules. it's july 5th and we're going to be talking to these great diners in just a moment kayleigh. >> steve: you have you just said something very telling. you think cheesecake is pie? [laughter]. >> griff: it's a pie cake steve and there's cheesecake >> steve: it's cheese cake. >> kayleigh: whatever you call it it's delicious and the golden girls would be right there with you eating it for breakfast. me as well. we move to this, hunter biden joining the first family on the white house balcony for the fourth of july fireworks show as

secret service agents investigate suspected cocaine that was found in the west wing. mark meredith joins us plow the white house. mark. >> kayleigh, steve and griff good morning to all three of you. president biden and his family came back to the white house from camp david to enjoy the festivities, a picture perfect night at the capitol but this morning more questions about who's coming in and out of the white house after cocaine was found in the west wing. now, the president nor his staff talked about this last night during the celebration. cameras spotted the first family including the first lady and first son hunter biden there in attendance but it appears these drugs were discovered on sunday while the president was away. they were found in a work area of the west wing. the secret service put out a statement on tuesday, a spokesperson writing, the dc fire department was called to evaluate and quickly determine the item to be nonhazardous. the item was sent for further evaluation and an investigation into the cause and manner of how it entered the white house is spending. we'll continue to watch it. this morning also watching more

attention being focused on hunter biden and the federal investigation tied to him. tomorrow is the deadline set by the republican-controlled house judiciary committee for the u.s. attorney in delaware to answer questions of theirs about how the investigation into hunter biden was handled. the questions come after two whistleblowers came forward to claim that the investigation was not handled properly. the ovulate s attorney out in delaware has denied any wrong doing also rejected these whistleblowers came saying he had the ultimate authority in this case but still a lot of back and forth between the justice department and house republicans about what was going on behind the scenes. and later this month, guys, hunter biden's going to be in court to formally accept that plea agreement which means he won't be spending any time in jail for those tax fraud charges. >> steve: that's right. >> steve, griff, kayleigh, back to you. >> steve: you know, mark, the folks don't understand, griff and kayleigh and i understand, for you to be standing on the north lawn of the white house, you had to go through the northwest gate and they've got all sorts of detectors there.

and so it is extraordinary that somehow cocaine wound up in the white house, in the west wing apparently. and i don't know if you know the answer to this or not, but in the history of the white house, has cocaine ever been discovered before by the secret service and made public? >> that's a great question, steve. i don't know of any past incidents of cocaine being found. obviously it would be not a huge surprise to imagine over the years all sorts of things have come in and out of these gates but you're right when it comes to the people that have to go through security, usually it's a metal detector screening, and kayleigh would know this better obviously you worked here, you would go through a screening on the traditional sense, take out your keys and cell phone but then they go through and look for any of those hazardous materials but in terms of whether or not it's in a bag or however it may be transported, a pill bottle i don't know if that would have triggered a articles la. staff doesn't have to go through the same screening that we do as press when we come through the gates so if you have more regular access i would imagine

you don't have to go through the same screening procedures right? >> kayleigh: mark, thank you. i will say as a west wing staffer you do go through a metal detector, you put your bag right there through a metal detector as well, they look, they x-ray, see what's in the bag. it's extraordinary to think this could have gotten into the west wing into a public place. apparently this is a place tour guides can go through. but having been there, worked there. it's a small place. did a tourist bring it in if so that's troubling for the national security, for the security of the united states. is it a staffer, if so we should get to the bottom of it a staffer shouldn't be using cocaine or bringing it to the white house. but troubling nonetheless, a white powder in the west wing. >> steve: griff. >> griff: i'm actually going to be on white house duty for the early shift on friday so i'll report back to the show here and let you know if the security measures are increasing. clearly something got missed somewhere, and you can bet they're doing a lot of monday

morning quarterbacking trying to figure out how a breach like this occurred in what should be the most secure building on planet earth. >> steve: right. but if you look at the internet and you look at social media, there are all sorts of memes and all sorts of rumors, you know, let's see, who has access to the white house? who kind of looks like he's living at the white house? oh, yeah, hunter biden. there's nothing to see -- you know, that's just going on on the internet. but you know, because i'm sure everybody has sent that stuff to you. hunter's been in the news a lot because it was revealed in the last week or 10 days that he is going to cop a plea essentially, going to plead guilty to a couple of tax charges and also there's that gun charge that is going to go away if he can keep clean for like two years. that's one of the provisions of it. also, we have heard now from david weiss, who is the u.s. attorney for delaware and he essentially said, look, he sent

a letter to jim jordan and essentially it said, look, i'm the guy, i could have brought charges in california or dc if i wanted to but then he made it sound like he didn't want to and stands by what happened. look, there's one other thing going on and that is the fact that on july 26th, a federal judge is going to review this case in delaware and if the judge doesn't like the deal, the judge can reject it. and the big question -- and i believe she was appointed by donald trump. so the big question is, is she going to look at all this other stuff going on with hunter biden and this new evidence about what may or may not have happened during the investigation, kayleigh, and say, you know what? hold on. i need to call some people in here and rule on this one way or another, but i've got to hear some more stuff. >> kayleigh: she should. that would be an extraordinary measure, we'll see if she does it but there are real questions here, steve forever we heard from merrick garland under oath repeatedly saying i did not interfere in this investigation. we heard from the whistleblowers, the

whistleblower saying david weiss, the delaware attorney, could not charge in this matter. it was the u.s. attorneys who declined to bring charges in california and in dc. my suspicion had always been, okay, merrick garland is saying he had ultimate authority, david weiss. my suspicion was this layer of u.s. attorneys. they were the ones stopping david weiss from doing this. but who was giving them orders? did merrick garland speak to them? did he not speak to them? was there an understanding that these u.s. attorneys would decline to bring charges? we have to hear from them. we heard from weiss, we will hear from the whistleblowers and the others in the room but we have to hear from these u.s. attorneys. i would call them in to congress. >> griff: yeah and, you know, listen, i love the new york post-op educate, putting out this headline take away, they say this, the only thing getting clear in hunter biden's case is the stench. we're going to talk to real americans here at the jukebox diner because at the end of the day, they're just upset about

the very clear two tiers of justice, one for thee not for me, you can frame it anyway you want. but one thing for sure, obviously many americans are feeling it. i want to change gears because i want to mention one thing guys that i covered all day yesterday which was the gop candidates hitting the campaign trail. now, noticeably donald trump was not on the campaign trail but that didn't stop a whole slew of the gop candidates barn storming from iowa to new hampshire. we can show you now ron desantis, tim scott, doug burgum, will heard, perry johnson all in new hampshire in woeful borough and that big parade in merrimack and iowa pens, ace a hutch huh son larry elder and mayor of miami suarez who got up ran a 5 k said he came in sixth place then was making pancakes. pretty amazing stuff. by the way our fox digital folks

got out to merrimack and actually caught up with senator tim scott and talked to him on the fourth in new hampshire. here's a little bit of what senator scott had to say. take a listen. >> you know, the fourth is the holiday celebrating independence, celebrating liberty and freedom synonyms for independence. i love the fourth of july because it reminds me of the men and the women willing to sacrifice everything for the cause of freedom. i can't think of a better day to celebrate, particularly our men in uniform, whether it's backing the blue, whether it's our military men and women this is a great day to sell braise who we are. frankly you and i have both won the lottery of sit social security numbership not a better place to call home than america and i can't think of a better place to celebrate than the granite state, live free or die. it really is synonymous of who we are as americans. >> steve: absolutely. so, you know, in the race for the white house in 2024, if you are running for president of the united states, the fourth of july really is one of the

holidays you've got to work. you've got to go out to the parades. the desantis family was up in new hampshire and it was rainy. they got soaked at a parade. and then you had mike pence was in urbandale which is in west des moines, and he was shaking hands. everybody was shaking hands, kiss babies, petting dogs and taking selfies. vivek ran swamy was in the great state of ohio yesterday. he has a new program he's going to talk to all of us about and you'll hear it exclusively on "fox& friends". >> kayleigh: vivek ran swamy take note of the name our recent fox news poll has him in third. think about this, someone who did not have name identification, comes into the race in third behind desantis and trump, a new poll doesn't meet the fox standards shows him in double digits. >> above mike pence. >> yes, 10%, smart as a whip.

>> steve: and griff you were talking earlier at the jukebox diner in manassas, you had a guy pouring coffee who sure looked a lot like the governor of the commonwealth of virginia. >> griff: that's right, governor glenn youngkin was here and the crowd loved him. i asked him, steve, hey, hypothetically speaking if you were president what would you do with the out of control nea. here's a little bit of what he said he would do if he were the commander in chief. listen. >> if, hypothetically speaking, you were president of the united states, what would you do to reign in the nea? what needs to be done? >> well, the first thing that needs to be done is a national parents bill of rights needs to be clearly established so that parents understand what their rights are. and just like we did in virginia, we passed legislation that allowed parents to decide whether the materials being used in the classroom were appropriate for their family. if not, they can demand a

replacement book or part of the curriculum. it allows families to decide what's best. that's what's most important. at the tend of the day, we start with parents, we move to children, we i knowed great teaching, this is what education is all about, not the teachers union dictating what teachers and kids should be reading in the summertime. >> parents matter that's what governor glenn youngkin was talking about. joining some of the diners. what's your name. >> lonnie morris. >> and. >> janette morris. >> thank you by the way for your service marine. >> you're welcome. >> griff: we had governor glenn youngkin talking about what matters most to americans as we head into an election year. what do you say? what matters most to you. >> refund the police and the boarders, inflation, integrity of our elections. very important. >> griff: you said refund the police. we just went through years of defund the police, law enforcement, i cover a lot of

law enforcement stories, they talk about how difficult it is to not only maintain people on the force but to recruit new young people. why does that matter to you. >> it matters a lot. we've got too much crime in this country and, you know, who wants to pull out their guns and have a fire fight? i mean, i've been there. >> griff: well thank you for your service. i have to ask your better half here because otherwise i'm going to get in trouble. what do you think? what matters to you most ma'am. >> i have to agree with what he said and certainly the open borders, i do not like open borders and i do not like the inflation. >> griff: we are going to have the retired border chief ortiz to talk about the border. you want to say something. >> one more thing call out to all my vietnam buddies, i'm a local guy here i was born and raised. >> griff: thank you for your service we're going to keep talking to folks here. steve and kayleigh back to you in new york. >> steve: thank you very much. now let's have ashley do the

guy she didn't invite. >> they are brother. the thousand dollars wedding gift because she didn't want him there because i guess the bride felt threatened because he was conservative. >> kayleigh: interesting. bad move ashley. thank you. >> ashley: you're welcome. >> steve: let's see what happens at thanksgiving. >> kayleigh: that's right. coming up could gretchen whitmer be eyeing her own 2024 run? let's hope not. >> let's stretch beyond michigan. we will fight like hell for democrats to hold the white house in 2024. >> kayleigh: wow. why the michigan governor's boost for biden could be fueling her own ambitions. >> steve: but first, ennis cantor freedom slams wnba players anti american comments. he says people have no idea how lucky they are to be here in the united states as he is and he is coming up next. so many hotels. ah! ah! ah! trouble booking the family vacay? come on. comfort has free hot breakfast for the whole fam. they have waffles! and splendid pools.

and blessed they are to be in a country where you can say whatever you want to say and you're not going to be in jail. so i just hope that i can educate them in some ways. >> steve: enes, do you think it's just a matter of just ignorance and not knowing better, or do you think she genuinely has disdain for this great free nation? >> you know, i think -- i mean, i feel like she's just not educated enough. she just doesn't know any better. or, worse, she's just hating on this beautiful country. i mean, i tweeted that, and i was like -- i didn't want to be too harsh on her but then just leave, you know? if you think america is so bad and so trash and so terrible, then leave. but before you leave, please have a whole conversation with your colleague brittney griner. you know? she knows the best. she was the one that's saying, oh, yeah, this country have so many problems, we should not

she is a phenomenal fundraiser in the state of michigan. the democrats brought in about 90 million and the republicans brought in about 30 million so they know that she can do this. they are putting her out there with this fight like hell pac to make sure she's on those social issues but remember under gretchen whitmer the state of michigan had an economic outlook of 11 in the nation in 2018. under gretchen whitmer it's gone down to 36. she's also had crime at 35. as a state, we're in the bottom 10 for infrastructure. and fight like hell is her statement now, but fix the dam roads was her statement in 2018, and we're in the bottom 10 for infrastructure. >> steve: i forgot about fix the dam roads. here's her tweet. and she essentially is blaming republicans. she said right now we face an unprecedented moment for democracy and we keep seeing new attacks from maga extremists who want to dismantle our democracy

and requested the removal of anti covid-19 vaccine tweet by robert f. kennedy, jr. he said, this individual in the white house, hey, folks, wanted to flag the blue tweet wondering if we can get it removed or have it in the process of being removed asap. robert f. kennedy jr. went on to be the president's political opponent. this is stunning. >> yeah, this is. i mean, look, it's unbelievable the amount of information and the discovery that we were able to obtain through this particular case should concern all americans irrespective of their political ideology, their party affiliation. this is a completely direct violation of the first amendment. and as the judge says in his opinion, it's what we call viewpoint discrimination. it is when americans out there are muzzled when they're trying to ask questions or basically oppose policies that their government is imposing on them.

and it didn't matter, this government didn't care whether you were a democrat or a republican. your example is right on point. i mean, here we have robert kennedy, jr. this is the son of the former u.s. attorney general, the nephew of a distinguished u.s. senator, by the way a democrat, and a nephew of the former president of the united states. i mean, it's unbelievable >> kayleigh: attorney general i was among the censored, i was white house press secretary at the time, on my personal account i shared the new york post story on hunter biden's laptop and i was banned from twitter. it's why i took particular interest page 69-60 of this legal document you talk about these meetings between the fbi and the social media companies in the lead up to the 2020 election. they were apparently rooting out misinformation. were these meetings par for the course or was something more sinister going on here? >> no, look, i think the judge basically spells it out. he does it in his great 120 page opinion.

he takes things step by step. he says, look, the government went out there and censored american's speech on covid-19, on vaccine policies, on mask mandates, on election questions, and the hunter biden laptop. the fbi knew that the hunter biden laptop was real, and yet they told the social media platforms to be on the lookout for russian interference. and then the hunter biden laptop story comes out. they never go back and tell the social media companies, oh, this is a real thing. they allow the social media companies to take down the new york post articles and basically debunk the whole myth that the hunter biden laptop was actually real. i mean, think about that. we know -- the one thing that we do know is that that story would have absolutely tilted the election in favor of then president donald trump. >> kayleigh: no doubt. attorney general i just have 15

seconds here but if this is appealed by the government, do you believe you'll win on appeal? >> i do. i do. i believe this is one of the most important first amendment cases in this century. >> kayleigh: i have to tell you this is one of the most stung rulings i've ever read. thank you jeff landry. >> thank you. >> kayleigh: now turning to this we will check in with meteorologist adam klotz for a fox weather forecast. adam. >> hey good morning kayleigh. steamy out here on fox square but the skies are blue folks in the northeast have known big showers basically every afternoon the last couple days, more sunshine today but plenty of spots with weather stories, 74 degrees here in the big apple. see the cold front in the middle of the country, 66 degrees in kansas city, drops back into the 50s when you get into the mountains that's a cold front and we're seeing showers and storms across that region will continue today. everything here highlighted in this red area, you can see a chance for some severe weather, that would be strong winds, possibly some hail, some very heavy rain, that includes chicago, st. louis, all the way over towards peabody low and
