details on that story, as well. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm carley shimkus. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier in for todd piro. those stories and more coming up over the next hour. breaking news overnight. two firefighters are dead after battling a fire on a cargo ship in newark, new jersey. coming from wnyw. the fire started just before 9:30 last night, engulfing several vehicles on the ship. calls ringing out when responding crew members reported missing in the active scene. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. >> carley: and another alert, claiming u.s. service members were among those killed in a bomb attack in somalia. kenya delayed reopening of the nation's shared border, following wave of attacks blamed

on al qaeda-linked militants. we'll bring you updates throughout the morning. and look at the white house, as republicans call for a secret service update on the cocaine found in the west wing. doug luzader joins us. >> doug: a mystery the white house cannot explain. president byted was asked about it in the oval office yesterday with the prime minister of sweden. >> thank you for making the point the house oversight committee has jurisdiction over secret service. we are expected to be briefed over that. we have concerns with all the money and security around the white house, something like this should never happen. >> that was not president biden, it suggests impact this may have.

we want to move to press secretary karine jean-pierre, who was asked about the discovery and subsequent investigation. >> how determined is the president to get to the bottom of who brought illegal drugs to the white house? >> secret service is getting to the bottom of this, that matters and it is under their purview. >> doug: the bidens were at camp david when the coin cawas found. reuters is checking visitor logs. it has been suggested it will be difficult to track down even with use of surveillance cameras >> this provided new foter on the campaign trail. >> a lot of us believe the biden administration has been blowing it on a lot of fronts, i guess it is more than i thought. >> we should know who the leaker is in realtime, who brought and left cocaine on a table in the

residence in the white house, but i'm not holding my breath. >> doug: additional testing confirmed the white powder was cocaine. what if it wasn't cocaine, what is to stop somebody from bringing anthax in. >> carley: interesting they are saying it will be difficult to discover whose cocaine it was. there should be greater surveillance in that area and there will be d.n.a. testing and fingerprint testing. hopefully we get answers. >> doug: this investigation will continue by secret service and congress has oversight over the secret service. >> carley: doug, we appreciate it. >> ashley: judge granting the attorneys for bryan kohberger access to training records of

three officers involved in the investigation. his lawyers argue they need to understand the moth police used to investigate their client. the three officers played a key role on bryan kohberger's arrest. one interviewed witnesses at the scene and the other interviewed witnesses and one reviewed autopsy and tips. bryan kohberger is charged with killing four idaho students. >> carley: and james comer says a major -- is coming. >> we will have an announcement hopefully next week of more findings that we found. we are entering the deposition phase. >> ashley: doug collins says we need to know if there is corruption in the first family.

>> ashley: fox weather alert. midwest bracing for storms expected to bring damaging wind and possible tornados to the region. record-breaking heat prompting heat advisories. humidity could make it feel like more than 110 degrees. >> carley: chicago is recovering from days of heavy downpours. adam klotz has the fox weather forecast. what is going on? >> adam: storms in the middle of the country and west coast and east coast, extreme heat. storms are along a cold front, a

term i'm using loosely. the air is not much cooler. 70s and 60s and some temperatures in the 50s. storms across the texas panhandle, oklahoma panhandle and across the region, we have seen severe weather and will continue to see severe weather. denver stretching to kansas. fairly high and likely you will see severe thunderstorms. winds up to 60 miles per hour. isolated tornados in this region. not talking about big storms, talking about heat sweeping the region. temperatures will be warm, 1 13 degrees in -- climbing into the upper 90s. 98 and 96 in medford and back to the east coast and leave you there, as we see ectreme heat on

the east coast and jump through a couple days where temperatures linger in the middle 90s or so, getting closer to 100. out east today, 91 in baltimore, 88 new york. 90 in syracuse. summer-like temperatures, just storms in the middle of the country. >> carley: tis the season. >> ashley: house oversight chair james comer says new details will be released soon in the investigation of the biden family. >> up to six banks, jason and we'll have an announcement hopefully next week of more findings that we found. it is hard to cheat on bank records and requesting more bank violation and hope treasury will give access to potential bribery charges alleged in the fbi documents. our investigation is moving

along. >> carley: former ranking member and former georgia congressman doug collins joins us. you heard congressman comer talking about disturbing findings he'll announce about overseas money the biden family received. read between the lines and tell us how big of a deal this announcement might be? >> doug: it could be very big deal for everybody. the issue here that is coming up, why is congress, several years laters, having to find this out? that will be one issue that james comer is talking about. coming to the issue of bank records known, been known, been suspicious activity letters on this account. doj and fbi, nobody has ever commented on that and they are not denying the validity of the records. somebody has to answer why this wasn't a criminal activity or

why taxes weren't evaded. you can't find the money and not find the -- lack of doj work on this as well. >> ashley: we are expecting comer's announcement and today is deadline for u.s. attorney david weiss to judge jim jordan questions about hunter's federal tax case. weiss told jordan he is not at liberty to turn over the material and there is talk of subpoena to bring weiss before congress. we have seen what happened historically with giving them deadlines, what do you think will happen going forward? how do you see this playing out? >> doug: this is a concern i had a couple weeks ago when they made the charges against hunter and saying the doj would make an announcement about the ongoing investigation. here is what we're going to do with hunter right now and we will continue to investigate

this. congress, we will not turn over anything, we are still under investigation. this is classic case of doj trying to use the investigation term to answer questions that congress has. the american people are getting tired of it and i see this playing out in a long drawn out, jim jordan will have to subpoena the documents. they said, here are the charges and they said, it is still under investigation, that is code for saying we will not cooperate. >> carley: interesting there. talk about ice cream and 4th of july. ben and jerry's posted a tweet saying this 4th of july, high time we recognize the u.s. exists on stolen and ij dig nus land and commit to returning it and said we need to start with mount rushmore, the faces of men who worked to destroy indigenous culture to deny indigenous people basic rights.

this companies stuff like this all the time, i guess in an effort to be provocative. man, they are taking a lot of money on that stolen indigenous land that they clearly dislike so much. >> doug: i'm wondering when they will close their factory and give it back to the peoplel they are claiming they stole it from. it is a liberal ideology, woke ideology trying to get people riled up. this is not new, as you said, from ben and jerry's. some people in life, this is going to shock anybody here. hypocrisy here is what bothers most people. you are talking about stolen land and all this and you are making money on factories and businesses on this land you claim is stolen. funny, i saw a social media post, that said, are you going

to give back the milk you stole from the cows? >> ashley: interesting way of putting it. leave time for this, cocaine found in the white house. >> doug: amazing. >> ashley: words i didn't think i would have to say ever. president is brushing off questions about the cocaine found. watch this. >> the white house -- [indiscernible] -- >> ashley: i know he doesn't comment on a lot of things, investigations with his family, cocaine in the white house. you got to say something in this instance. what will do you think he should do and the white house should be saying about this? >> doug: how about starting with, we have the most secure building in america, cameras everywhere, we will find out who brought the cocaine in. instead they are saying, we may not ever know. if that is true, congress needs

to get with the secret service and find out what it means to protect the white house. you have cameras everywhere, narrow it down to a few folks. sad when the initial comment is, we might not ever find out temperature is not new to walk away from questions, but sitting there, he had no idea, you can see in his mind, why are they asking me these questions? >> carley: what if it wasn't cocaine, but anthrax, huge concern. it was said it was found in the wing where the family lives and now the white house is saying, no, it was in the west wing where people take tours. doug, thanks for joining us. the white house is launch being

choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine - 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more - can be overwhelming. so, ask your doctor about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they even start. it's the #1 prescribed branded chronic migraine treatment. so far, more than 5 million botox® treatments have been given to over eight hundred and fifty thousand chronic migraine patients. effects of botox® may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of

a life-threatening condition. side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. don't receive botox® if there's a skin infection. tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. in a survey, 92% of current users said they wish they'd talked to their doctor and started botox® sooner. so, ask your doctor if botox® is right for you. learn how abbvie could help you save on botox®. >> carley: white house kicking off bidenomics tour to tout president biden's economic achievements. the administration seems to understand it will be tough sell to voters. >> people ask why we are talking about bidenomics now, we understand american people need to hear from us what we've been able to do last years, how

historic it has been, how we've created 13 million jobs. >> carley: stacey washington joins us now. good morning to you. new ap poll shows just 34% of americans approve of president biden's handling of the economy. he is trying to convince americans they are wrong and the economy is in good shape because of him, how do you think that will work out? >> i don't think it will work. he is saying the economy is fantastic and bidenomics is a working policy position and that americans can count on that for four more years, if he wins again. what is happening, everything is more expensive. talk about hispanic voters, amazing amount of pushback going on. people who voted for trump last time planning to vote for him

again and hispanics are swinging by margin of 18 points and majority hispanic precincts. this is not something he can talk about karine jean-pierre makes it seem like, if we talk about it, americans are tired of talk. >> carley: trump raked in 35 million in donations second quarter, which is hard to ignore. do you think the other gop candidates can make up ground? i know there is time, but he is consistently been the front runner, do you think it is a foregone conclusion it is biden and trump or is there time for something to change? >> you know what, in this life, i can never say never. as a wife and mom, i know anything is possible. right now the field is pretty

set and president trump has not stopped campaigning. indictments, raids on his private residence, he's still doing rallies and having huge crowds. the chance of another person overtaking his lead is pretty slim. never say never. i think trump is the guy. >> carley: the biden camp, from the "new york times," interesting piece out. they say the dnc has a primary problem and wanted south carolina to vote first and the democratic national committee obliged and it hasn't gone as planned. they wanted to give black voters a larger say, now new hampshire is saying too bad, we are voting first anyway and president biden may not be on the ballot. they are saying it is about the black vote, i think it is

keeping his challenger, r.f.k. jr. out of the race. this man is popular on social media and speaks to issues people care about. he has a strong position on the policy democrats put forward across the country when they were in control having to do with lockdown and coronavirus policy. r.f.k. will have opportunity to speak to constituencies and democrats are ignoring them to their own peril. he is an interesting person and has a lot of great things to say people want to talk about. >> carley: you mentioned hispanic voters and they are essential in the election. polls find hispanic voters prefer republican to democrats on inflation and handling of the economy and seems plausible trump or another republican could trigger a second hispanic surge to the gop in 2024. biden won the hispanic vote by

28% in 2020, but polls indicate hispanic voters are leaning toward the gop. how big of a vulnerability is this for democrats? >> hispanic voters, in polls over last few months, show propensity about caring about jobs and coronavirus policy. they are susceptible to individuals who talk about policy. if gop talks about policies that work for this community and everyone, it will work in the election. the hispanic voter is most motivated by information that tells them how they will be able to live and work and control their own destiny, that is something the gop has and democrats don't like talking about policy. interesting to see how they swing, polls show they are leaning right.

the impact of rule making on reliability without engaged participation from farc, and charged with obligation to generate and deliver, fine point that one, electricity to meet continuous demand for electric service. fossil fuel generate 60% of total u.s. electricity, renewable sources, wind and solar generate 14%. it is okay to talk about renewable energy and maybe get there more in the next few years, but as of today, lawmakers say it is irresponsible for them to basically cut the power too soon. >> carley: cheryl, united airlines made a new announcement amid flight issues. what are they saying? >> cheryl: tough for crews and their ceo, so fox business did get a statement from ceo scott

-- meeting with big tech companies and accusing biden of likely violating the first amendment. andrew bailey has been leading the legal fight against the white house and joins me with dr. marty makarey. before i get to the ag, d dr. makarey, to you first. you were censured during covid, it had to be insulting to be

censored on top of that. >> worse than that, they censured our study and it was in line with fauci's e-mail exchange they wanted a swift and devastating takedown of news different from their own and that is what happened. >> ashley: ag, you expected this appeal on the heels of this. what is likelihood that this order will be permanent and how will it be enforced? >> this is about defending the constitution and establishing the biden white house and other federal agencies violated the first amendment, we will fight to protect the constitution. so much speech suppressed turned out to be true. it was protected speech and the government had no business

suppressing it. >> ashley: regardless democrats or republican in the white house, do they have any way, shape or form to communicate with big tech like this, is that any place for them? >> i think we need to erect wall of separation between government and tech to protect. that wall began being erected on july 4th by this preliminary injunction. we will receive more documents and root out this vast censorship enterprise. >> ashley: doctor, we talk about the censorship, how far did health officials go? all around with the vaccine? not only that, kids going back to school, what exactly do you think was hit hardest with the

censuring? >> dr. fauci and white house and seeds were against schools being opened sxoo we learned this week a top dr. fauci advisor at nih, who is government employee, basically his hatchet man, criticizing media when they talked about, for example, the wuhan lab leak. there are direct quotes from him saying move this conversation to gmail. dr. fauci does not want his fingerprints on this for propaganda pieces. he criticized journalists. it ended up being clearly from the lab. it is not the job of the government, it is the job of the government to do their job. >> ashley: this was against

conservative speech. ag bailey, are you hoping this just prevents this from happening again with anything else? not just with covid, but anything else? >> yeah, absolutely. this has never been about truth, it has been about power for the white house. it emanates from top level of the white house. we know that from discovery rereceived. have said it is coming from top levels. what we've got to do is erect that wall of separation between tech and state. recent hearing on may 26th, department of justice -- suppress american citizen right to question interference integrity. the whole point of the first amendment to invite dissent and discussion for free, fair and open debate uninhibited from

>> ashley: back with the crisis at southern border. human smuggler trying to evade dps troopers in the middle of the rio grande. drone operator saw the man on

tuesday. the man trying to swim away from the troopers and even splashed them with water before surrendering. he is a migrant from mexico and now faces state criminal charges for human smuggling. despite the crisis at border continuing to grow, biden administration is increasing the number of migrants that can use the cbp mobile app. 1450 migrants can book appointments per day and upload information to be processed into the u.s., a stark increase from regulation back in may that allowed 1000 migrants to make appointments per day. moving toin choo, treasury secretary janet yellen landing in beijing just moments ago for a trip hoped to ease tension with china. >> ashley: gordon chang joins us now. the secretary wants to ease

economic tension with china, do you foresee that happening any time soon? do you think there will be anything groundbreaking coming out of this meeting? >> administration is trying to downplay expectations as they should. congress has been engaged in malicious conduct, if anybody is trying toment the relationship, it should be china. they say we are trying to reestablish communication links. china see this is coming to the grand celestial court and making them even more dangerous, it is feeding their inflated ego of self-importance, doing things backwards. >> ashley: the treasury secretary, listen to what she had to say a few weeks ago.

>> health economic competition, where both sides benefit is only sustainable if this competition is fair. it would be disastrous for us to attempt to decouple from china, derisk, yes, decouple, absolutely not. >> carley: what do you think about that comment from her? is she right? >> she is wrong, we need to decouple. china declared people's war on the united states. we're americans and believe to be entitled to what the chinese say about us. the chinese mean what they say. we cannot allow ourselves to be dependent. the chinese hear that and say no difference between decoupling and the chinese don't see it that way. >> ashley: you said this could

be a dangerous situation, how dangerous when it comes to americans? >> on june 7, henry kissinger gave an interview to bloomberg and he said war between the united states and china is "probable." what we're talking about is a disaster of historic proportions, unless we change our policies. our policies are encouraging china to be more hostile, we have to change course, as kissinger said. kissinger is always wrong, but this time he is right. we may say it is not imminent, pentagon says war is not imtent, but we've never seen a military build-up and not go to war. >> carley: what is the economic situation like in china? they have been slow to recover from lockdowns, how dire is it over there?

>> we can see all the surge of increase in chinese migrant at the southern border, middle-class chinese able to pay 35 ahead to smugglers. china said it grew first quarter of thisser year, i think 1 or 2%, maybe zero and seeing the chinese economy head one direction down, especially continuing debt default and import decline show domestic decline and problem with exports. this is a dire situation, as you term it. >> ashley: gordon, do you see any chance in the future, near or far, of having healthy relationship between china and america under the biden administration? or will this have to be new set of administration to get to that point? >> what has to change is 100% view in the way the american

administration view china. not just biden, but i don't see the administration changing those views. they want to engage china, we've been trying to do that since the cold war and it produced disastrous results. until administration realize policies are wrong, we will go in the wrong direction, people need to prepare for what henry kissinger talked about, war between the united states and china. >> carley: military communication between the two countries is still frozen, which seems like a pretty big deal. >> certainly it is. that is the number one priority the biden administration to reestablish communication and that is not happening. again, what i'd like to see is the united states saying to china, if you want to talk, you have to come to the united states because you are the one causing the problems. we need administration to say that out loud to tell not only

the chinese, but rest of the world we'll defend ourselves and allies and international system and have administration willing to do that, they use this gauzy language, which is not helping at all. the chinese know what they are doing and know we are afraid to confront them and become worse. >> carley: speaking of war, janet yellen will bring up the ukraine war. we hear chinese assurance they will not assist russia and we will hold them to that. she just landed and will be there until sunday, we'll be watching. thanks, gordon. >> ashley: before we go, leave you with this, 2024 presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy and his wife funding a scholarship to boost patriotism, american identity scholarship and treated in honor of their son. >> what i want to celebrate my

son's first birthday with was his generation and reviving national pride, which is lacking amongst young americans today. we are endowing 250,000 scholarship fund that will award 10 high school students this year with $25,000 each. >> carley: high school students can apply by submitting a two-minute video by august 18th, explaining what it is like to be american. and they must have plans to serve in military or law enforcement. winners announced this september. >> to sports. st. louis cardinals extended their losing streak in embarrassing fashion. oh -- >> the runner goes from second to third and back to the mound and it is overthrown and one run

will score and here comes the game winner. how do you like that? it is -- walk-off win. it cost them the game. >> ashley: poor cardinals. >> carley: sorry cardinal fans. great to >> crime at the white house. >> the secret service now investing the discovery of cocaine inside of the white house. >> where this was discovered is a heavily-traveled area. >> something like this should never happen. >> both countries can benefit from healthy competition in the economic sphere. >> america's treasury secretary janet yellen. >> chai a restarts discussions between u.s. and chinese officials. >> derisk, yes, decouple absolutely not. >> severe storms threatening to impact some folks. >> all of su
