and it's an accident and as you said we've been fortunate they've let go pretty much right away. >> brian: and just like our supreme court justice you're not a biologist but we do appreciate your insight. thanks george. >> meanwhile, according to reports, the second hour of "fox& friends" starts right now. ♪ >> 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. >> today's also the deadline for the u.s. attorney david weiss to answer jim jordan's questions about hunter biden's federal tax case. >> this is a classic case of doj trying to use the investigation to evade questions that congress has. >> we need to erect a wall of separation between tech and state. >> the doj is now appealing after a federal judge temporarily blocked white house officials. >> accusing the biden administration of censoring free speech. >> they wanted a swift and

be? . >> brian: steve, kayleigh and brian, good morning to you guys. you're right that is the big question at this hour. the white house is sending questions about the drugs discovered on its campus to the u.s. secret service but officials there admit it may take some time before we figure out who brought the drugs. also they are now running both dna and fingerprint testing to try to get to the bottom of this. the drugs were discovered sunday in an area of the west wing that's been described as very busy. to get even more specific the drugs were found in a phone can you bey where people often leave their personal belongings before they go on a tour. reporters asked president biden about all of this yesterday but he chose not to take questions. >> how did cocaine get into the white house? >> everyone. >> just a smile there, there are reports this morning that the house oversight committee is requesting a briefing from the secret service. arkansas tom cotton going further sent a letter to the service asking six questions he wants answered.

if the white house complex is not secure, congress needs to know the details as well as your plan to correct any security flaws. well, the president and his family were not in the white house on sunday when the drugs were found. the incident is sparking fresh questions about his thoughts on the war on drugs and what else can be done to protect americans. he's long spoken out about crack and cocaine. listen to what he had to say back in 1991. >> if you have a piece of crack cocaine no bigger than this quarter that i'm holding in my hand, if you're caught with that, you go to jail for five years. you get no probation. you get nothing other than five years in jail. judge doesn't have a choice. >> reporter: the white house was asked about next steps here, for instance, would there be any drug tests given to any white house staffers. they say they still have a rigorous process in place but also waiting to find out what

the secret service determines from there. as we showed you president biden didn't talk about it yesterday, perhaps we'll get a question in when he heads down to south carolina a little later on this morning. kayleigh, steve and brian back to you. >> steve: hey, mark, because it's just -- cocaine possession is only a misdemeanor in washington, dc where you're standing right now. if they find out the name of the person, they put it all together and they confront the person and they say yeah, i did did itment given personnel and stuff like that, would we find out the name of the person or will it be, hey, it's a private personnel thing it's somebody who works here or a guest or something like that and we'll never know? >> reporter: that's a great question. i would imagine that if the person is charged we would find out but if this person is dismissed or if they're unable to, you know, prove 100%, i can't imagine that a name would come out. if it was somebody on a tour then obviously the white house would be able to say it was not a staffer, it was a private citizen and this is being dealt with that way. but the administration is really just saying this is up to secret service, they were not going to

go down the rabbit hole on so many different questions. everybody tried yesterday but they just simply said it was secret service. >> brian: mark how rare is it to see everyone in the press on the same page on that topic? >> reporter: brian i think it was one of those stories, because there was so much shock something like this would happen. what's interesting yesterday, and i know people were surprised by this, why didn't this get caught going through security? it feels like less security than when you go through maybe even like tsa. they see your badge, they check to make sure you don't have a gun or knife or anything like that but they don't pull out every item to see what you have in there because you already are screened before you go in. they run your social, they run to make sure you don't have a criminal background check. so it wasn't like they would go, oh, my gosh, look at what they found. i wasn't that surprised something like that would happen. >> steve: and also, you have to figure, through history, maybe they have spotted marijuana or something like that, but this

looks like anthrax, and that's why they called the haz-mat team. we know about it because they thought this might actually hurt people. >> reporter: right, you're right. because when it was first discovered they thought it was something more hazardous, you never know what it could be when it's just spotted like that. i'm sure they sent the dogs in right away and you're right they sent the haz-mat team in as well. to answer your question that's what senator cotton said in his letter, how often does this happen that we just don't know about it and he said it in his letter because you're right there's certainly a possibility other stuff has come through, contraband or whatever that maybe is confiscated but isn't an international story. >> the dogs are bomb sniffing dogs they're not there sniffing for cocaine. >> true. >> steve: mark thank you very much. >> reporter: you bet. >> steve: meanwhile let's talk a little bit about this. today is july the 6th and it is an important day in the life of david weiss. the u.s. attorney for delaware. he's guy who's been investing for the last five years the hunter biden thing.

today is the deadline for him because the house judiciary committee chairman, jim jordan, sent him a letter asking mr. weiss to explain that june 7th letter that he sent to jim jordan asking him to explain why you said, mr. weiss, that you had the ultimate authority over the hunter biden investigation but now we've got this whistleblower who's come forward and he said that you said i'm not the decider. so essentially what he's asking for is he's asking for information. but it's not about the hunter biden case, because that's still ongoing. instead, he's asking about the retaliation against that man, irs special agent gary shapley, who spilled the beans. and so today's the day mr. weiss has got to produce evidence for the republicans up on capitol hill about the whistleblower. >> kayleigh: and he said he's not going to because there's an ongoing investigation into hunter, it's an ongoing court proceeding. but if you read very carefully

weiss's letter he corroborates garland's story under over merrick garland said at least seven times i have not interfered. weiss said yes that's true about you if you read carefully he points to attorneys in california and in dc who would not let him bring the charges. who do they report to? they report to merrick garland. was there a silent understanding they wouldn't bring the charges. i want to hear from those us attorneys they need to go before congress and sans questions. because you have six people in that meeting, gary shapley highly credible contemporaneous notes his boss signed off on the e-mail corroborating the events i fbi agents were in that meeting too and they were like does this sound like you does it sound like what we heard? sounds like what we heard. so then weiss comes out friday and says i can do whatever i want in delaware. really? so he wanted special counsel status in order to be able to do it anywhere he wanted to. merrick garland day before or two days before said, no, he didn't need special counsel

status, help the same status. he did need the special counsel status. >> kayleigh: clearly. >> brian: so merrick garland is in the dark about what exactly special counsel does and the powers he had but david weiss is caught because he knows he's got to question the credibility of ten people in a room, many of them bonded agents and gary shapley specifically and the fact is he didn't charge -- he charged in delaware and it was a sweet ass deal that he gave. so gary shapley, to his credit, is not sitting there saying, please, i'm a whistleblower don't go after me, he's saying they're coming after me and i'm ready to fight back. he says through his lawyer, as you know shapley was not a source, i'll continue to read this for you on that story or any other story for that matter, if you had ever given him any pledge of confidentiality you are here by released from that pledge so that you may contradict his denial if it were inaccurate. thus you are now free to correct mr. biden's attorneys and clear shapley's good name of these false and retaliatory charges.

>> steve: right. >> brian: that's from mike lightle. >> steve: and what that refers to is it was last october a story in the washington post that said that irs and fbi agents had enough stuff, had enough goods on hunter biden to charge him. so now what hunter biden's attorneys are suggesting is that gary shapley was the source for the washington post. so that's why gary shapley's attorney put out, mark lytle put out that statement saying okay, hey, washington post tell the world that gary shapley was not the source for that story. and, of course, mr. shapley knows knows that, reporters at the washington post know that. but if there were any sort of confidentiality deal you are released from that. so it's a brilliant strategy on the part of the whistleblower to say, hey, i was not the source and now put up or shut up. >> kayleigh: and remember washington post democracy dies

in darkness doesn't it? so come out, where's your statement. that's your tag line. on to this tof course there was that landmark supreme court, not supreme court but district court decision on july 4th, big victory for freedom of speech. it showed the censorship of the biden administration barring the biden administration from coordinating with social media platforms, not evenly coordinating it was a shake down or a threat if you read the 155 page decision. what stuck out to me about all of this, so you have behind the scenes this 30-year-old keyboard warrior digital director named rob flaherty. imagine this sitting in the white house, 30 years old telling facebook, twitter, how to censor your speech, this 30-year-old. well, then you have jen psaki. she's the public enforcer. she would go to the podium and essentially shake down these social media companies. let's take a walk down memory lane. >> shouldn't come as any surprise that we're in regular touch with social media platforms. >> we are regularly making sure social media platforms are aware

of the latest narratives dangerous to public health. >> brian: anthony fauci says? >> kayleigh: she even threatened legal consequences. i just contrast that, when i was there i talk about ayatollah khomeini having a voice on twitter yet you're going after trump so advocating for more speech but here's the white house press secretary saying we're going to shut down your speech. robert f. kennedy jr. we know is among those individuals. >> steve: right. in fact in this case -- and by the way we should point out that yesterday the administration went ahead and said okay we're going to appeal this, department of justice go out, we're going to appeal this. don't be surprised if this winds up before the u.s. supreme court. but nonetheless, in the judge's original 159-page summary, what he said was that jen psaki was deposed and so was anthony fauci. so they know exactly how the administration coordinated their message to the social media companies, hey, we saw this thing. we say it's misinformation.

but because you're independent it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to take it down and of course the suggestion is, the heavy-handed suggestion. >> kayleigh: unconstitutional guys. >> steve: take it down. >> brian: matt taibbi and michael shellenberger were given access by elon musk and they deserve the bulk of the credit for the fact we're at this place. which backs up mark zuckerberg's trying to get you again. we don't know what happened with facebook you get on threads you'll no longer know what's going on. >> steve: i just got on threads. >> kayleigh: a lot of talking points. >> brian: saying elon musk is going to make sure the best he can the first amendment's impressed. does anyone think mark zuckerberg the author of sucker bucks to make sure certain districts got money to vote against donald trump in 2020. pull them away from twitter and begin to manipulate again. senator eric schmitt is one of the ags that brought this forward and he talked about, he

expected the appeal and talked about what changes now. listen. >> the state department's cancelling meetings, weekly meetings, whatever's happening tlpg with facebook officials and they admitted to having weekly censorship meetings during covid. i mean, this was -- you know, you mention ped the agencies, the cdc tfbi, white house officials, the fda. this is far reaching. all of these different agencies were working under the guise of misinformation to suppress millions of posts by american citizens. the first amendment is our pressure release valve, everybody should be able to have a say in the town square including the virtual town square and the government doesn't have any business telling people what they can see and hear in that virtual town square. >> brian: the first thing i heard was don jr., the first thing i even heard the shadow banning term ti'm not getting any traffic on my tweets. and then charlie kirk goes i have this huge network, no one's

following or retweeting me? how is this possible. >> kayleigh: crazy. i did talk to a white house digital individual from the trump administration i said did you ever reach out to a social media site saying take down a response. his response was never. >> steve: how can twitter or any other social media company do stuff. remember, there is no expectation of the first amendment rights when it comes to public companies. >> kayleigh: exactly. >> steve: when you sign up for twitter, you're saying i'm going to go along with all your rules. you are a private company and so they can do whatever they did and now, thanks to this judge in louisiana, it's been laid bare what they did. >> brian: but you know mark zuckerberg's agenda. his agenda is not transparency. >> kayleigh: he's a leftist. >> brian: he didn't invite matt taibbi to find out what's going on in the 2020 election. he didn't say check out my books. elon musk said check it out let the facts lead you where they lead you and took to independent

journalists, or three, bari weiss, too, barry shellenberger and taibbi and said find out what you had. and matt taibbi said i had the story of the century and very few outlets cared which us maddening. >> kayleigh: unbelievable. elon musk is a hero. >> brian: they're trying to marginalize what he did taking away what he had. >> steve: the department of justice asking the court to put that decision on hold until they can work it out. we will keep you posted >> meantime 7:16 here in new york city and carley joins us from right over there >> carley: i do, we have to start with america's crime crisis. five people, including two juveniles are hospitalized after gunfire breaks out at an apartment complex in fort lauderdale. investigators in florida say a confrontation between two groups in a court yard led to the gunfire. the condition of all the victims is still unclear but one of the three adults wounded did suffer life threatening injuriesment so far no arrests have been made >> treasure secretary janet yellen arriving in beijing ahead

not our source, so feel free to let the world know that so that democracy does not die in darkness. we'll see if the washington post is willing to do that because they're happy to drip out a few stories here about a little bit of evidence about the bidens but they don't want to expose the whole thing. so we'll see. the ball's in their court. i don't think they do anything, though. who knows. >> brian: let's see what happens. i just think that whistleblowers often times are beat up and they say isn't it bad, shapley's like no, no. on my watch. everything that happens i'm going to be transparent about it and he should be. meanwhile doctor gal loft a name that probably doesn't mean much to the american people and but if you follow this case and read miranda devine you will know about him. basically he is now in hiding he was told this, and he put this on video because he's concerned for his own welfare. i who volunteered to inform the u.s. government about a potential security breach about compromising information about a man vying to be the next

programs never worked, they never will, and when you're talking about massive bureaucracy you're talking about massive fraud. and the challenge is, as you're pointing out kayleigh, the taxpayer is the one suffering most. >> kayleigh: you think a doubling, so president trump leaves office, bring in joe biden, it doubles, and the biden administration, they describe these overpayments as lingering challenges. but it seems a little bit more than just a challenge. >> well, they're in a business they shouldn't be. their fda is spending more time trying to do the chemical abortions than they are trying to bring food prices down. >> kayleigh: true. >> this is the problem, what do they call it now, bidenomics. the reason we have now 10% of americans on food stamps is because prices are so high. this is where government shouldn't be doing and this is one of the reasons there's a difference between the two parties. one wants limited government, the others, the ones in charge right now in washington, dc want explosive government so then you deal with more fraud, more

confusion and more anger from the taxpayers. because this is simply not right. they cannot pay their own bills at the grocery store and yet we're looking at this type of fraud here in washington or coming out of washington, dc. >> kayleigh: the usda, here's what they had to say on the food stamperors. payment errors are largely due to unintentional mistakes by either the state agency or a household that result in a state determining an applicant is eligible when they are not or incorrectly calculating a participant's benefit amount. now it's a fair point about the state, star, because when i was in the white house we had these new covid programs and we did have to rely on the states in large part. but you're the federal government and you can say this is taxpayer dollars, federal dollars, and you've got to step up, states. >> you've got to step up and you also have to bring these bureaucrats back to washington. people sitting at home on their computers and you're talking about now massive fraud, maybe we should streamline. this is where the real work has to be done and people should consider during the election

process over the next year and a half, you know, policy is what presidential campaigns are about. policy is what your elections are all about. and when we say we want to drain the swamp, these are reasons why. if we as a society are going to have help programs for people in need, we should help people in need, not looking to have all of this fraud out of washington, dc. >> kayleigh: yeah, hand up not a handout. you mentioned bidenomics, his fancy new word that biden's embracing, over the next 72 hours biden and his surrogates employing throughout the states touting bidenomics. do you think it's going to work. >> if we don't mix it up with obama nomics talking bidenomics, all policies are the same your taxes go up you have less benefit and you have miserable lives because they're making decisions outside of the american philosophy which is individualism, that we put our labor on the table and we can flourish in our lives. this is not what bidenomics is about. it's about taking from the wealthy and maybe coming up with

some socialistic dream for people that don't experience that dream either >> kayleigh: star, what a sad contrast to the thriving economy of the trump error. thank you very much. >> it is. you're welcome. >> kayleigh: let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for our fox weather forecast >> adam: good morning kayleigh. steamy out here on fox square. i'm not alone. there are a lot spots across the country where people are going to feel it today. also some spots we're tracking some severe weather at least eventually by this afternoon. here are your current temperatures 80 degrees in new york city, see where the orange hits the green in the middle of the country, that is a cold front. not the coldest air behind it but enough that there will be storms sparking up. already some moving across oklahoma, the panhandle in the center of the state, possibility of severe weather, winds up to 60 miles an hour, particularly in that bullseye there in the middle of your screen. you could be seeing some hail, isolated tornados will be possible. but if you're on either side of this system, so if you're over on the west coast, if you're over on the east coast, you're dealing with heat, 90 degrees in new york city, near record heat
