under normal circumstances, i would be testifying before congress about my experience with cfc. e sadly, due to circumstances, i shall here in this video i and us to tell you this story via video. >> there are no normal circumstances in this. missi that was the missing witness from the biden corruption. invet >> his name is israelihe professor dr. gal luft. he laid out his briberygall allegations against the president's family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosedy location. >> while he is at this moment on the run, in the 14 minute recording obtained exclusivelyod by new york post, the fugitive former israeli armhe new yy officer claims he was arrested in cyprus to stop him from testifyingto sto to the house oversight committee that recebiden family receiveed payments from individuals with alleged ties to chinese

military intelligence. >> the self-proclaimed fall guy says he providedided the incriminating evidence to six officials from the fbix and the department of justicvee in a secret meeting in brussels in march of 2019, but alleges that it was covered up over an intensive two year, two day meeting. i shared my information about the biden family's financial transactions with cfc including specific dollar figures. the al but perhaps the most alarming information i revealed was of a mole within the doj who shared classifiedth with hunter biden and his chinese partners after brusselrs . i never heard back from the doj, but instead of showing whpreciatione doj, for my whistleblowing, i becamey nub public enemy number one. >> yeah, they didn't have timeeo to getne>> pete: back to him. >> he goes on to describeow ove how over the next four years, he, his family, friends and associates were harassed and intimidateere harad.

finally, in february of this year, he was arrested in cyprus on an extradition request from the southernre district of new york for allegedly violating the export the arms control act. after his arrest, he arm tweete, i've been arrested in cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the us.u" the u.s. is claiming i'm an arms dealer. ming thamay armsit would be fun. tragic. i've never been an arms dealer. rmdoj is trying to bury me to protect joe. jim and hunter biden. and he defended himself again. >> in his video statement, i,>>i who volunteered to informt abou the u.s. government about potential security breach and about compromisentia, seeing b information about a man vying to be the next president am now being hunted by the very i same whom i informed and may have to livenformed, on the runr the rest of my life. >> he sayse. he's being hunted.o

i mean, those are strong words.g the new york post reports that house oversight chairman james colmer, who is preparing to interview loved before he disappeared, say s he remains a potential witness in and , despites a probe the fact that he is a fugitive at this moment. >> left explosive allegations. >> well, they need to beressed. addressed and. his motive couldn't be clearer. this does not anything to do p with partisan politics. >> i'm not a republican. repub i'm not a democrat. i have no political motive or . enda i did it out of deep concernn tt that if the bidens were to comen to power, the country would be facing the same dramatic russia collusion scandal. only this time with china. sadly, because of the doj's cover, this is exactly what happened. >> we've reached out to the doj, by the way, for a and weher have yet to hear back.a

>> joining me now is miranda devine, a perfect guest for this tonight, fo, a perfecx newd contributor in the new york post columnist who broke this story. he also with is mike davis. he's the founder and presidentin of the article three project.e e miranda, i mean, fantastic scoop by you. if what loft say s is true, the how does this change the course of the investigation, not just into hunter, intwo joe? >> well, look, i think he's going to be a witness i still. that's what james colmer wants to do. he was already in talks to be a witness when he was arrested . you know, he is a fugitive. obviously, thas t discredits him somewhat. but perhaps that is the aim to sto p him, as he says, to stop him from testifying. and the things that he told meld about the brussels meeting and other facts aboutothe the bidensr have been corroborated since he told me about them in other ways.give m

he's given me a document to show that that brussels was,n in fact, scheduled by the southern district of new york.ce and, you know, he's described by people who knew him in washington, d.c., as a credible person with deep intelligence ties. he founded and ran a sort of an energy think tank which had as its advisors, such luminaries of sort of washington d.c. life as the former cia director james former nsa director robert mcfarlane. and so was well plugged in to washington. and he was it is correct. i have verified that he was partners with the very from cfc that hunter biden and his uncle jim biden were receiving money from millions of dollars.millio >>ns and so i guess he had access to be able to know that information. we've heard about an fbi mole before, and he's now put fleshtu

on the bones of that. it doesn't. allega lee is a serious set of allegations. they should been investigated. and it appears yet again that they weren't. he would be the fifth whistleblower whose allegationes the bidens were not, which is buried by the doj. ete: the >> folks are blowing the whistle all over the place and no one's hearing it. the game just continues. huntme jusmike, anyone involvedn hunter's corrupt business dealings, they're not going to be a bopt businalings ay sco. and dr. gal luft appears to be no exception to that. but does that dispute does thate discredit his allegations in your mindit hisd or i mean, thee going to be unsavory characters here if we're talking about thes e of dealings. i mean, we're talking about the bidens. this is the bidens face an allegation that they took $10 $m million in foreign bribesil a and threatenednd thr to pull u.s $1,000,000,000 in u.s. aid from ukraine if the president fire the prosecutor in ukraine investigating burisma and the

bidens. this is the biden justice department that just cut a sweetheart e depart deal with hunter biden on failing to file taxes and giving essentially a deferred sentence on the felony gun charge to cover up two years of millions and millions ofig dollars of alleged foreign corruption and bribes of the bidensn , i would say, about this whistle blower. he name specific names, dates,d, places, amounts. coe house oversight and or the house judiciary committee and or the house ways and meanys committee need to start issuing subpoenas for depositions ofas o people at the justice department. these six specific officials at the justice department that hece named and have them come in, provide their documents,an n get the embassy official officials in brussels, and run this down. >> yeah, no doubt. you know, miranda, the left is surely we know what their playbook looks like. they're going to try to downplay all of going allegas due to his shady past. >> but i don't rememberdo not the left r ever having a problee with hyping, i don't know, like

michael cohen as the star witnesichael cs against trump.si i mean, they're they're shameless in this way. so will heso get a chance to actually present this evidence either before the committe evidenc before or t the public will? i mean, there's so much smoke here , miranda, but the question is, does it does anyone everat e hear the whistle? >> look, he's on the run and you heard him say he thinksf he'll be on the run for the rest of his lifeor. m he he tells me that he's really in fear of his life. as well, so who knows if he can testify by remote video or by sending a video. will i don't know how kind of we'll figure that out. t out. know is that the democrats are absolute past masterare masts at trashing evey whistleblower that comes forwar d. and you seeing in real time as they're doing it to the irs i whistleblower shapley, a man with an impeccable record of a honesty and integrity who has recovered billions of dollars hw for this country.

and you just watch how they tear him dowaren. yeah, they will. it's exactly right. time. >> miranda and mike, thank you very much for your time tonight. we appreciate it. big storratey. >> well, the doj officialj offi who set up the affirmation meeting with this man laughed and the fbi was none other thanf geoffrey berman, then the u.s. attorney for the southerne sout district of new york. but despite settinhe districg up the meeting, berman never followed up with luft again. l f and in the fall of 20, 20 days after hunter biden's laptop released, luft dispatched histc attorney to washingtonhed th d.. to meet with the trump administration's acting deputy attorney general richard donoghue, to repeat the allegations that he'd maderp brussels that no one had followed up on. luft showed the new york post the emails between hishis at attorney and the senior official confirming their correspondence butesponden nothing came of this meeting either. must havng came just fallen off the outlook calendar. >> joining me now is matt whitaker. joining me nr u.s.

attorney and former acting attorney general under president trumrmer actp. matt, thanks for being here. why would a us attorney set up a meeting and then never follow up? yeah, it's extraordinary. and it looks like the southern district o if new york was kindn of running their own intelligence operation to find ouni thet what dr. luft knew.knw and then, you know, it's surprising to have the paid ag from main justicsing toe, then t and find and find out the same information. you know, there are a lot ofis a unverified facts lot here, petet that we're going to have to get to the bottom of and we're going to have to verifthat we y >> but remember, this gentleman was fcf cfc for four years waile hunter biden was getting millions of dollars and he seemed to havef a front row picture as to what was goingons on and how these transactions were structured and really what the money was and rea for. and that's the most important question in this whole thing,

no doubt. i mean, luft raised an pete: importan nt question. you talk about questions in his video. here's here's another portion it watch.>> >> why won't the fbi submit to congress? the minutes from the brussels let everybody see what happened tryirussels. why not? are you trying to anything are you trying to protect anybody? n why not? could they could the gopot the house demand to see the minutes from this meeting? >> is that inside their purviewy ? yeah, it definitely is. and this is the document is.thad be made available to congress. you know , it seems to me that the stonewalling by the fbi needs to end. this is another situation where we have documents that, verify information, and now congress hasn't been provided those document s. s. this is a pattern concerning pattern that the fbi just doestt not want accountability, does not want transparenctabilityy, t

and won't answer the questions as to why they're not following up on these majoo r leads that a ver suggest a very corruptde joe biden and biden family. matt, real have you seen itseena ever seen anything like this? >> you mentioned the word an intelligenceny op where it feels like the outreach is based on trying to figurine what peope know as opposed to running down an investigation to determin rue the truth. >> how unprecedented is this in your mind? welledented is it has no preced. i mean, you know, if you think about the amount of resourcesenn went into the russian collusion hoax and the fact that the fbid with fake information would try to run that to grounould tryd and $1,000,000 to christopher steele to verify anything in the dossiellion dor. and now we have these very, very credible allegationses. they're not putting any resources to try to figure out what actually happenedt what a and whether laws were violated. >> it's a stunning, when you put it that way, offering money to verify salacious, unverified information and just forgetting about meetings

convenientlyt , about billions f dollars for the vice president, united states. matt, thank you very mucs.h. >> and the biden family scandals, well, they don't end ther scandal e. >> we have even more intrigue surrounding cocaine gate >>nighet. >> watch this. f former president trump has made some pretty wild postsormer p y on social media. one of them was thatne o the cocainf the the white houset had belonged to either the presiden presidet, his son.e are you willing to say that that's not the case, thay to thm they belong to them? i don't have a response to thatu because we have to be careful about the hatch act. that in the world of response is that? the hatch act. but it makes more sense hatcactn what nbc news reported reluctantly. >> i'm surn whate, earlier toda. >> and it was found by my in a much more secure place, limited access place. it's down near the situation room, right off west executive, down belowon the west executive entrance, which, as you noted, is closer to the room., an

it is also next to west executive drive.nt's veh >> that's where, for example, the vice president's vehicle is parked, you know, right right outside of the situation room. siion roomwhy can't the white ho get their story straight on this one? joining me now is sean davis. co >> he's the ceo and co-founder of the federalist. i did good to see you. if i didn't know any better, i mean, it's almost sounds likep the white house could be setting up camila here outside where the vp's, parked. >> what do you make of the drips and drabs of how close to the oval office, this cocaine being found? how significant is it? well, i'm fascinated by how the story seems to be changing by the day and by the hour. i mean and by , first it was fot the library and then it was found now in in the executive mansion. and then mansion. found it near the situation room. and now they're trying to blame it on kamalang to bl. i find it amazing. i mean, let's be honest here. we'v e got hunter biden living in the white house. the guy has a long history of

addiction, of a cocaine use. he was kicked out of the navy for cocaindiction,e, has all kif drug crimes and gun crimes. and it's fascinating, al to me because when when he got busted for running an illegal gun up ws in delaware, it was the secret service that showed up. and to bail him out. it's kind of amazing. and he blamed it on a handful of hispanics who he said were when he got busted for doing cocaine, when he was joining the navy.o rand he blames that on two random africans who gave him a cigarett hime. and now they're apparently trying to pin the blame on the black lady who works for biden. it's you couldn't make this stuff up. it's so ridiculous stuff. >> p no, i've forgotten about the cover up by the secrets service, which means this investigation, you want to believe it's going to be aboveboard. but if it hasn't going t been in the past, why would it be this time? >> here's one of the more shocking bits ofofe informatione received today, sean. >> watch this, because this is i. n a, you know, not an area are that, you know, is highly all ficked, that wasn't

necessarily covered by cameras all that well, it is you it's ad that a decent amount of people had access to. it just makes that investigate a little bit difficult. so, you know, this could all end without, you know,named as necessarily anyone being named as the person who was responsiblise bringing that bag of cocaine to the white house. >> pete: s he's setting this upr like the supreme court leak or situation, like it was just so complicated. we there's no way we could figure out who brought to thee h white house, even though we have the name, date of birth of social security number everyone that enters. >> could they really try to pass that. on us? ou >> you have to love the audacity. remembere au, these were guys gg after a random granny who was within 50 miles of the capital, and she glanced in its directiofrom tn and suddenly thr her bank records and phone records and gps. budst they can't figure out whih staffer or family member brought in a big old bag of colombian bambam. like it's just a total stone cold whodunit. it just blows my mind. but you have to give him. a tip of the hat for audacity. >> here.

>> you really do. there are cameras, there are logs. >>they who came to see if theres got to be fingerprints on the bag. right. somebody was carryinn the g.g, you'dant to think like the pipe bombers. if they wanted to find it. they will. we'll see if find, if. >> they do. sean, thank you very much for your time. appreciate i timet. well, biden nomics runs into reality. plus, is our treasury secretary kowtowing to the communist reinese? >> elbridge colby and monica crowley react next. >> >> 85 million surveillance cams, 10 hours of footage every day. and you won't. what we found. welcome to crime cam. 24 seven, the host of live pd, shawn sticks larkin is back. you some of the wildest footage across the country. stupidest thing you could do. as if we're not going to find it in from every angle. i mean, you're at the town hall body cams, vehicle cams, phone

toda ty. and that lady strikes fear in the minds of our enemy. and it's already not looking good. she's planning on doubling dowgn on the chinese. with the washington post reporting this , quote, yellen intends to elaborate on comments she made in a april speech. i'm sure it was a barnburner about preserving healthy economic ties between the world's two largest economies, eved presern nationac security considerations dominate relations. ies.dominayou think and this als as china colludes with russiay o and their other allies to try to replace the u.s. dollar on the world stage . >> the biden regime either is too ignorant to see how the communist chinese is taking advantage of the u.s. around the globe , orment their appeasement policy is purposefully designed to benefit their donor establishment. >> globalist class. is a >> well, joining us now is elbridge colby, former trump deputy assistantan secretary of defense, and monica crowley, former assistant treasury secretary who traveled to china with then

treasury secretary steven mnuchin for trade negotiations . >> you both know your stuff. great to have you tonight. elbridge, let me start with you. this thiights crossed the wires just moments ago while we were cok. mmercial brea the chinese finance ministry, their finance ministry ch. aying this we hope the u.s. will take concrete actions to create a favorabltion te environment fr economic trade and ties between china and the us.ion to >> what's your reaction to that and the attempt that janet yellen and making here in china well, i think they're trying to get whatever they can. i mean, frankly, whatever i'm co by what the administration is trying to do because they're sending blinkeeyn, yelln and john kerry over the most pro-china kind of pro accommodate asian members of the administration. >> and they're almost plaintive, pleading for, you know, a diminishment of tensions with the chinese at the same time they're putting sanctions on. unfortunately, the reality appears to be that the chinesea. think that we are trying we're to contain them, but we're not actually doing it effectivel y on the military side. so i think we're in a really serious situatioe milin where we

speaking kind of loudly, but uncertainly, but carrying a small stick, whereas we should be speaking softly we very big stick. wow. i just watched janet yellen in that photo. >> she bowed like 19 times, almost look like a tic like, what is monica? what is our strategywhat here? we usually once you have whenera you're big international trips. isn'tiont there a takeawayo get you're shooting for? we're going to get a win. they seem to be groveling this poin t. you know, today, janet yellen arrived in beijing to grovelo to the ccp and beg for smoother relations with the chinese communist party. and at the same, xi jinping wasn actually giving a war speech to the plo, the people's liberation army's eastern theater command. that command would lead any lea attack on taiwan. was >> so that was no coincidence that he was giving a war talden

at the same time, our treasuryry secretary was on the ground in hi secreon thes country trying e his regime. look, no american administration, no american administration should be requesting high profile, high level meetings or summits with any adversary without a cleaitr agenda, clear objectives and real deliverables at the end ofthos those meetings. that has been the standardughout throughout american history. and yet this administration n, led by a president who looks wholly compromised by the ccprep to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, is taking the exacte opposite approach of appeasement and weaknessch. and we know what happens when we've got american weakness. it is a provocatioamerics and ie good guys retreat and the bad guys like the ccp advance and the wheels come off the world. >> yeas h, i mean,alking they're playing for keeps and we're talking about climate change with no c direct deliverable. >> elbridge monica just

mentioned it. she talked about strengthening their military war plans just today so we landlitary.d just t economic and environmental and whatever else stuff we want to talel k and they're like, hey, let's get ready to invade taiwan. does any part ofde the approach we're making dissuade them in that? i don't think so. i mean, and i think monica put her finger on i mean, said toer the troops and he said this a number of times, that they should be readytiat they ,s war. i mean, if you look at the indicators, the way he talk and the s. that fact yeah. the pla apparently doesn't think they're ready yet, butey y they are clearly are trying to fix the problem. they're basically acting like a countrkey that's getting reado for a war. and my view is it looks likes a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. maybe it's a ducaybek and. at the same time, they're saying that they feel that we are strangling them. that's the usey that of the worh xi jinping is using fairly or not. so this is an exceptionallhayn dangerous situation. and in this context, as pete, as you were just suggestin, peg you have to project strength. they have to see that any attempt to use military force

or otherwise will fail and insteaherwisd what biden tha administration are projecting is a kind of weakness ortion ag a sorta of plaintive desire to please or accommodate. and thativ sends the wrong signl to a guy like xi jinping, who we know a lot about we know how he's ascended the incredibly lethathl world of chinese politics. the way i think about it is he's already done something that's t is more dangerous, personally to himself and his family than than getting a war with the united states, which is purging all his political opponents. so this guy means businessd th and we need to act like it, not send tony blinken and janet the. n over therem o >> monica, real quick, we don't have much time, but you you went over there and did this job. what would your approach be right now if you if let's saf y there's a trumpdminis administration part two, what's that approach look liktre? well, president trump was the only american president to see the chinese threat clearl seey and take on the ccp a very aggressive way. keepp and an mind that the ccp,a by their own words, has been engaged in what they call res

unrestricted warfare since the 1990s. that means unrestricted warfare against. the united states and the west in every category. economic every c, military, dip, political, cultural and for the last 30 years that has been their sole purpose global domination. >> we have a president now is completely weak. president trump was strongletelw on china. co and if hmes bae comes back in te a second term, as i believe he w will, well, there will certainly be differentforeg posture for american foreign policy with regard to the ccp. >> yeah, just also really helpss if haven't been entangled inn like really shady international hady intdeals with with top levp members. that seems to be a bonus if you're trying to conduct foreign policy these days. elbridge and monica, thank you very muck you veh. >> all right. up next, our pulse of the nation segment. we examinenation's two data poit have democrat like countries in the world in crisis mode. and newsom surgingcrisis, biden falters. plus, their growing hispanic problem in the democrat party.

alternative. enter gavin. now, he's 55 years old and he'sh become the latest democratas to hit the campaign trail for biden. and even though he trail for ant in running in 2024 am, some observers are beginning to question his motivation. >> one california gop consu consultant saying, quote, he's puttinglt time and effort that no one else outside the white house appears to be doint thane the whg. he's acting like the candidate in waiting someday it may actually pay off for him. >> joining me now to doug schoen, democrat pollster and former adviser to clinton, matt tower. he's the chairman of insidersi advantagdent ce. and tom bevan, president and co-founder of real clear.to three smart dudes on politics to give us the pulse of the nation. e of doug, what do you make of this idea that gavin newsom h is somehow the democrat's ace in the hole for 2024? >> do you think that's true orol is this just cable news fodder? >> no, no, no. i thin k what gavin newsom

is doing, he is positioning himself in case joe biden does not, then he is in a position to step into the race. reins. kamala harris is the likely nominee if biden doesn't run. but newsom is trying to blunt her advantage by touring the country aggressively. he won't rungressive joe biden.r very hard to beat an incumbenttr president, but he is positioning himself and the eventualit g himsely that the president ultimately, for whatever reason, doesn't run its for reelection. >> yeah, but it's obvious that o sometimes things like that are just self-evident. >> matt, areyong you in the polt at all that the problems at the white house and i know the cocaine stuff wouldn't be resonating yet, but overall with hunter and investigations,i and the smoke, is that having an impact even inside his party or his pol l numbers going down even more recently? well rec, you know, it's funny.

>> i talked to the bow tie pollster robert kelly, who i'm launching a podcast with in a couple of weeks and talked about this very issue today. we're actually not seeingation the penetration of these issues like you would you would expect. buoflike yot part of that is because it's been alluded to all througtoh out this evening l and that is that the a lot of the legacy mediaawcy media willr the issues that are affectinger the and if they do cover them, for example, the cocaine issue t ,they get to it, they drop it and they don't want to really go back. so we're back. seeing the numbers change that much. but you have to also understanud biden has reached a certain level, which i wouldn't expect him to dip substantially below until you had some major incident moving further down a. >> okay, tom, let's let's foris a moment that biden is the nominee. he's got another crisisg potentially waiting for him at the ballot box. >> according to recent pollingao ,nearly all 80 6% of hispanics say economic conditions are

only fair or they're poor. omicthree quarters say the samel thing about their personal financial situation. fuation andand by 2 to 1, theyy joe biden's policies are hurting their families. sothei, tom, how significant is this shift? >> shi we saw shift in 2020.y the democrats have long relied on the hispanic vote in certai n key states. does it cut even worse i anet their directio n? rned >> well, listen, they have to be concerned about the trendt over the last few cyclescl because donald trump actually increasees becumd his vote share with hispanics, republicans did in 2022 as well. and again, you mentioned it's it ie keycome down to th states and those include nevada and arizona, where about a third of the population is hispanic. but also i hispn places likerida florida. georgia has a hispanic population as well. georhas hisp hispanics are goiny a pivotal role in the upcoming election. upc and democrats need to make surea that they maintain a sizableke i advantage because if they don't, they're going to have to make that up somewhere elsese.. s exac >> yeah, where do you make it up? it's exactly right, doug. there's anothe, another canary s

the coal mine as we move along and pick your brains here for the dnc, there's a washington post abc poll that recently asked voters"was pos, who do yok did a better job handle the economy? and among hispanics, the response was overwhelming. >> 55% preferred donald trump. just 36% prefer biden nomics.6 r do you see that, doug?efer translating it to changes inanst voting trends? >> oh, i think absolutin changee pete. this is a big problem for the democrats that is clear and apparent in swing states and indeed nationally. and itstates puts senate seats t risk, congressional seats and the party has yet to address it. my concern is that hispto a democrats believe hispanics are only interested in identityitic, politics when they believe intha traditional values. they are anti-communisret, a vey large degree. and as you point out rightly, they are substantially impacted

by. an economy where inflation is up, wages are down, the cost of living is getting everng i higher. >> yeah, matt, i mean, how difoh they address it if economics is not the way, you know, a lot of hispanics are muchre more culturally and socially conservative and they don't want gender pronouns for their elementary gen students. i mean, this is how do they then try win back thatbasei constituency when their base is going so hard in the other directio the othn? i don i don't know if they can. doug naile'td. ot yes. that that's an issue that they have not been able to address . and also to what tom said earlier, look at some of these states likt e florida. look at orange county, osceola county, which are counties, central florida, that normally go heavily democrat in races because of the puerto rican population in those counties. this time, desantis carried, one of those counties, and he lost the larger one, orange byee only four percentage points. this is a trend. you see it with brian kemp in georgia. , the hispanic population continues to drift even in

these midtermse in some of these key states towards the republican party. and i don't see anrepuan partyys the democrats are going to stave that off. at least i'vave nothing that indicates that that's going placeke place until they mak some major changes and some of those are cultural. and i don't think they're going to want to mak them are do noe those cultural s changes in their presentation. >> tom, real quick, back to where we started. i can't let you off the hook. hook will ber crysta the nominee in your crystal ball with all you sell that e? >> look, i think numbers are stuck right now. they're stuck with them right now. but i agree. i mean, the fact that we're stil ane fact t sl seeing these stors about gavin newsom and other democrats is because democrats,b they like biden, they supported him like his policies. buiden, t likt they want to givm a gold watch and see him off the stage. >> they have concerns about his hiwatch, s stamina, his age, his mental acuity, and they'd prefer to go with someone younger. q, and they're stuck with him right now. >> yeah, they'd like say, joe, just go over there. but they can't. all right, doug, matt and tom, k you ve k you very much.yees great stuff.

all right. why do employees keep being fired fo r, attempting to thwartwh thieves who are looting their stores? >> the latest incident in just moments. >> plus, new york city mayor eric adams plus has told many lies to date. he's a fraud. we know that. e might but lee zeldin is here to tell us why this next one mightsiste. be the worst yet. >> stay therick, here. >> stay therick, here. >> hey, just got a text from my sister. wow.r ? >> sure. he's the 76 year old guy who still runs marathonst aboutn sadly, not anymore. wo aw. so sudden. 5 a mo we're not about to have the we need life insurance conversationnt again. conversationnt again. >> are w though. we are getting coverage. so we have to worry about it.(jt >> conversation. sohat time f you're calling abo5 a month plan from colonial penn? >> i am. life iwe put it off long enough. we are getting that 995 planakeo today. is it time forday for gr you tol about the 995 plan? i'm jonathan from colonial penj$

on it. >> joining us now is leeus n zeldin, former new york congressmanowrmer new. well, as formers new york gubernatorial candidate. lee, good to seegood you. >> does this surprise you atl? all? yes. i don't think that the mayor thk needs embellish this story at all. all reporting is that he did, in fact, serve with this fallen ths, er, the family member this fallen officer have spoken out about their relationshipabo with the mayor. so you don't have to go that next level if the storo thy tha being reported is true. you have the mayor telling his a story that's inaccurate and using his staff to help promote the li e. it's a little bit different than, you know, the mayor saying that he was a vegan and then that new news breaks.o turns out he eats fish.ut wh be quite candid, i don't really care. but when you talk about a story like this, it gets peopl about e a little bit more emotional. if you live in new york city. you want strony theng leadershi. quite frankly, what has peoplese most concerned now in the cityug is when they see people pushed in front of oncoming subway

cars, they see the quality of education being erodedbe for their kids in school, orth they go to their localey g storr to try to buy, say, laundry detergent or maybe toothpaste. you see that it's all locked up and you see thosupe closed those stores closing down. p goes, r as leadershi i think that the mayor just it's a big unforced erros r. tih you don't need to do it.ip you have the relationship with the guy. just tell the truteh. is >> it's a great point.. it's not the issue. the photo. it's indicative of ityellishments or duplicit that's simply been a part of his mayoral term.t of u a lot of us had hoped that hs e might take on new york city and bring it back to what it was. give us. give me your grade your assessment of eric adams so far. he has to go further and it'savo it's awkward. it's uncomfortable. you have to take on your own party. akeouyeah.. there are people who are going to go after you personally.

i remember when mayor adammembe that judges should have discretion away dangerousness when setting casselsescretion. and by the way, that's absolutely right. rosie o'donnell'thats brother,d' danny o'donnell, who's a white liberal, manhattan democratic,r. went after the mayor, said that dangerousness is code for black, suggesting that somehoww adams was racist for wanting judges to have discretion. and you know, this has been happening time and again where people in his own partgain fory go after him personally. but you can't stand down. yeah, you have to double down and triple down what you know is right. and that's the only way to be able to save this city.e ec with regard regarding the economy, regarding crime and safety , regarding freedom and the quality of education in e gotls, it might be awkward uncomfortable, but you haveit to do it and then the votersyouf will back you as a result. if you show that backbone, whicouone.h has not. >> leigh, thank you very much. appreciate it. all right. we'll be back a moment. hi, i'm mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas.
