steve, kayleigh and brian. it's been five days since cocaine was found in the west wing and still no suspect or suspects have been identified. we know few details but as you mentioned, we do learn more about the actual location. remember, first we were told it was in the library. then we were told it was in this heavily-trafficked area which led us to believe it was the public or visitors that were on a regular tour. now we know it is in the west executive area, which, in that area, from our folks like you, kayleigh, that have been there and spent time there, we know that it is an entrance used by staff that come from places like the dod, doj, the cia, fbi come in that entrance very close to the oval office and right next to the situation room where this cubby area wa where this was believed to be found. the secret service tells us we may not know any details until next week at theestier but led a lot of speculation as the secret service reviews all the cameras

and access logs. now, among those speculating, former president donald trump who took to truth social and had this to say. quote, does anybody really believe that the cocaine found in the west wing of the white house very close to the oval office is for the use of anyone other than hunter and joe biden? but, watch, the fake news media will soon start saying that the amount found was, quote, very small, and if it wasn't cocaine but rather common groundup aspirin and the story will vanish. meanwhile, the white house, actually knocking down directly accusations like that saying that they essentially -- this is spokesman andrew baits on a gaggle so you'll hear just audio here invoking the hatch act trying to respond to these accusations. listen. >> form for president trump has made some pretty wild posts recently on social media, one of them was that cocaine found in the white house was -- it belonged to either the president or his son. are you willing to say that that's not the case, that they

don't belong to them? >> i don't have a response to that because we have to be careful about the hatch act. >> reporter: now this is, as senator tom cotton released that letter that we talked about demanding that whatever the secret service finds in their investigation be made public, wants to know if anyone's going to be held accountable and prosecuted and also he wants to know what new procedures or what procedures exist that were flawed in the securing of the world's most secure building on planet earth. guys, there is a press briefing, we hope to maybe get some more answers today but we'll have to wait and find out. send it back to you. >> kayleigh: i doubt you're going to get answers in that briefing if history's any indicator griff. >> brian: griff, that is a place they're saying you have to be pretty much a credentialed you have a reason to be there, there's no tourists going through that area, is that safe to say. >> reporter: visitors. yes, that's very fair to say, kayleigh can weigh in on this, even the press, as a

card-carrying press badge person, i don't go over there. >> kayleigh: yeah. >> reporter: this is the executive west wing entrance again where you see the vice-president, secretaries come and go. and when they first come in, assuming they're there for that immediate, you know, situation room secure briefing, this is the can you bey hole they would put their devices into. so this would not be a place where, you know, aunt betty from omaha would come to see the white house. >> brian: because we were blaming aunt betty for a while now we can't. griff thank you very much. >> kayleigh: let me illuminate this for folks, you walk into the entrance, and i talked to a number of former colleagues to just clarify the lay out get my memory up to par. there's two sets of double doors, there are cubbies tourists would walk by not utilized by white house staff, they're utilized by tourists. these are the ones when you walk inside. >> steve: if a staff member is giving a tour to a friend. >> kayleigh: exactly, little mailbox, pretty ornate, they do have a lock.

that's the entrance. you get to the secret service officer sitting there and to griff's point you keep going you get to the white house mass, you turn, you get to the situation room and that is where staff would set down their phones. you would set it down before you go into this secure location. >> brian: or your coke. >> kayleigh: there are no cameras, no cameras i was told on the west wing so they're having to rely on cameras outside of the west wing. but interesting, one point that was emphasized to me over and over again is the secret service. no one is covering for the white house. so any sinister allegations out there that the secret service is covering for the white house, absolutely not. these are the best of the best. just final point. andrew baits saying i can't answer a cocaine question because of the hatch act, that is the single worst answer i have ever heard a press secretary give. wow, go back to 101. >> brian: to finish up that sentence, he said, after he said hatch act, he said, what i will say is i have noticed there does seem to be some increasing frustration coming from that corner in general, and i think

it's probably rooted in the contrast between their substantive policy records. what is he trying to say? that everyone's frustrated with this story lines? sorry. if you're frustrated. but it doesn't usually happen that cocaine's found in the white house when you have a guy there, you could say using the word probation, who has spent years on camera and on video on crack, using cocaine. >> steve: here's the thing. what's very telling, and nbc has some pretty good reporting on this today, they expected the investigation, the white house officials said it's going to take a couple of weeks. they're now saying it's going to be wrapped up by monday. >> kayleigh: i saw that >> steve: so they know exactly who the person is. they have a really good idea about it. they see people come in and out with the surveillance cameras that are available. they can do the math. they've figured it out. you have to figure though there's a real good possibility they're not going to reveal the name. it could be a staff member, it could be a i guest of a staff

member, it could be a donor. it could be a con stitch went. it could be a supporter. it would be very embarrassing, they'll probably say we dealt witness, class two misdemeanor in washington, dc, no big deal. >> brian: wouldn't that be great if someone could find illegal drugs on you and you can say i'm dealing with it internally? there's no way they can go without giving the name but you watch inches. >> kayleigh: what con found me is the story keeps changing first the library in the executive mansion then it moves to the lobby area of of the west wing executive entrance, then it moves to the situation room. all of the sources i spoke with says if it was in the entryway of west executive it was very likely a tourist. only a tourist would use those cubby holes. if it's closer to the situation room, whoa, we have to look at staff. >> steve: those people have clearance. >> kayleigh: yes. >> brian: the entrance was near where the vice-president's limo or suv park, one floor below the main west wing offices and the same floor as the situation room and dining area.

so if it is hunter biden's, is that a violation of the plea deal? i imagine you can't get a plea deal and still do drugs or decide to lie on a gun form or go buy a gun if you are getting this sweetheart plea deal. >> kayleigh: but the belief --. >> steve: they haven't agreed to the deal yet, july 26th. >> kayleigh: true. and to believe it's hunter biden those says it evaded the secret service for 48 hours. it was a small bag but it's hard for me to believe that. >> brian: you mean it's hard to believe it's hunter biden's? why. >> kayleigh: i think secret service would have found that, they're good, they're top notch but it was a small bag. hunter biden was in camp david so it would have had to have been left 48 to 60 hours before it was discovered on sunday. >> steve: sports betting has figured it out. an item in the new york post today where they assess the odds. hunter biden, 2-1 odds the coke is his. 10-1 odds the jonas brothers,

16-1 that it's snoop dogg, a hundred to one that it is jill biden but 150 that it is joe biden's. >> brian: if it is hunter's how do you sign off on that deal? >> steve: you can't. >> kayleigh: to your point when andrew baits was asked point blank was this hunter's, why don't you just say no. >> brian: maybe he doesn't know. >> kayleigh: or maybe he knows the truth. >> steve: nancy reagan always said just say no. >> all right, on the cover of the new york post, conspiracy of silence, and there's joe biden with his hands on his ears in this photo graphic. hunter biden prosecutor ignores the house republican demands. remember we told you about this yesterday. essentially what the house republicans were asking for was for david weiss, the u.s. attorney for delaware, who struck this sweetheart deal with hunter biden, for him to come clean about how the whistleblowers were taken off the hunter biden case. they wanted more answers. they also wanted all

communications between that man, david weiss, and merrick garland, the u.s. attorney general. >> kayleigh: yeah. you know, if you create a column, the column in favor of the garland rendition of events, we did not interfere, and a column in favor of the whistleblowers here's how it stacks up. david weiss and merrick garland two men who say no interference. other column gary shapley, a second whistleblower, you have contemporaneous notes, you have a principal who signed off on the contemporaneous notes of gary shapley and you have the new york times, in paragraph 21 nonetheless saying this is partially true we've confirmed. so i'm stacking up on the right side chltsdz the other two need to go before congress and answer questions. >> brian: but if you pars what he said friday, david weiss, he did say i had full power to prosecute in delaware. >> kayleigh: right. >> brian: he didn't say los angeles and dc did not reject me. >> steve: he said he could have. >> brian: right. he said he could have prosecuted there? >> steve: yeah. >> brian: if they gave him permission. >> steve: he said, all he'd have to do is talk to the attorney

general to get permission. >> brian: but he did. >> steve: that's what he said. >> brian: but if he did, in los angeles they said they confirmed, they rejected him. >> kayleigh: yes. >> brian: so that means he did. and in dc this guy matt graves could have given the green light and he didn't. so what he said is he couldn't propers execute unilaterally, he would need their permission. so, therefore, shapley is right, because he sat in that meeting and said i was rejected to both places. so now he says i don't have full control of this, according to shapley in real time, and then on that friday, all he had to say was, oh, i could if i wanted to, but you can't. because the attorney generals did not give you permission. so you can't do it if you wanted to, which he does not -- at one point he's got to testify and answer that question. >> steve: in the same letter brian where he said i could have done it if i wanted to, i could have requested to be a special lawyer, not special counsel but special lawyer is what he wrote to jim jordan but he did not

want to because he said he still had full authority. and going forward he said, you know, ultimately it's going to be up to the judge in delaware on july 26th to either accept or reject the plea deal. >> kayleigh: so weiss stone walled jim jordan didn't give him the docs, what did jim jordan do? he can hold him in contempt of congress, jim jordan should call in the six people with weiss and he should say us attorneys that didn't bring the cases in dc and california, get before congress. >> brian: right. because he did not have full power to do it or else he would have done it in both either that or he could deny he requested both. so if he denies he requested both, then it's shapley and everybody in that room including fbi agents that he's memorialized and sent to them and says does this look right and they wrote back and say this looks right. >> steve: so ultimately what's going to happen next is, mr. weiss is going to say, once again, the reason i did not comply to the republican request is because it's an open investigation and, as you know

kayleigh, being a lawyer, that's just their story. that's how they're going to roll with that. >> kayleigh: that's what he's going on lean on but we will lean on carley shimkus for some headlines >> carley: i have an update on a tragic story that got a lot of attention last year. prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the man accused of kidnapping tennessee mom eliza fletcher. the teacher was on an early morning run when she was abducted and murdered in september. cleo was caught on surveillance cameras sprinting out of an suv and forcibly grabbing her. witnesses also saw him washing out the truck in the parking lot with chemical cleaner. he is a career criminal and previously served 20 years in prison for a kidnapping. >> new york city confirming it is considering housing illegal immigrants in public schools during the summer months. mayor eric adams says 20-30 empty schools could be used as temporary shelters, just months

mission. it defeats the drone but the reality is russians are playing games and we have to demonstrate to them we're going to continue our mission una betted we're not going to let them continue this kind of nonsense. they've done this off the coast of alaska with us, and off the coast of the balance particulars with us as well. they do that for the sake of the neighbors in the region to demonstrate that they're in the region, they have influence and military power in the region, they like the fact the media spins it up. that's what they're after here. but at the same point we have a mission to perform and it's high time we make certain we're able to perform it. >> brian: but they're going to keep doing it unless we let them know it's not going to be tolerated. is there something, besides putting our fighter jets to escort the unmanned drones, is there anything we can do to stop this trend? because the minute we put the fighter jets down what makes you think it's not going to happen again. >> this is a very complicated

situation. we own the air space in eastern syria, the russians own the air space in western syria. we are flying in western syria here against isis and we have coordinated the use of that air space. this is where we called al-baghdadi a number of years ago in western syria where russia controlled the air space. so it's a complicated situation. we have every right to be there, we have coordinateded this for a number of years now for us to conduct these operations. i think the next move is what i suggest, put the intercepts up there, the f-22s make sure the mission gets accomplished. >> brian: looks like the president's decided much to our chagrin to our native allies to give thousands of cluster bombs to ukraine because they're specific to how russia's against is set up. are you for that. >> very much so. the ukrainians want this, one in the region it's a very effect p weapon systems fired from an artillery shell and in the air

as opposed to on the ground it releases a number of bomb lets that explode over a space of hundreds of meters, very effective against ground troops and can immobile eyes vehicles from moving around in that space. the russians are in defensive positions. this is effective use of the missions. the other thing that's happening here behind the scenes is that the normal artillery munitions are being depleted and we literally of millions of rounds of these kinds of munitions, and the ukrainians need them and want them as soon as possible. >> brian: got you. >> it's their air space, it's their ground. the issue is, there's a dud rate associated with it. we've improved the dud rate considerably. civilians have been killed in the past after war termination and walking through these areas. that is the concern. ukrainians have considered that concern. this is their land, this is their population. they're willing to accept that risk. let's give them the weapons

♪ >> we're in a real race, china's ahead much us. we know for too long china's dominatedd the production of raw materials needed for critical products. that's why we're building alliances with friends all across the world increasing our production here at home to create alternative sources for the minerals we need. our goal is to bring full battery supply chain home. >> kayleigh: hmm, not quite the tough talk we're used to on china from last administration. president biden is admitting

china is ahead of us while touting his bidenomics agenda in south carolina. >> steve: so now bidenomics apparently a good thing this as treasure secretary janet yellen brings talks to beijing to ease tensions there she is arriving. >> brian: here to react former governor and 2024 gop presidential candidate nikki haley. governor always great to see you. they're happy to see janet yellen. they like her when she was with the san francisco fed. what message would you hope she brings to china today? >> good morning from the north country of new hampshire. you know, first of all, i think the reason they're excited to see janet yellen is because she said that america should be doing more business with china. that's music to their ears. what she needs to be saying is, look, if you don't stop killing americans with fentanyl we're going to change it and stop our normal trade arrangement with you. we have to be tougher, blinken went hat in hand sent john kerry to talk about climate and they're missing the point, china

is having our lunch and preparing for war with us, we have to stott making them our friend. >> kayleigh: nicky one of the things that intrigued me in your home state president biden, just today the department of energy announced new incentives for companies to bring solar panel manufacturing to our shores, we're in a real race. china's ahead of us. seems like not the tough talk from our last administration. >> yeah, i'm glad he's acknowledging chine's ahead of us. they are. but they're not just ahead of us in terms of that. first of all he's talking about critical technology coming from china. congress has a list we're not supposed to send to china but the biden administration has approved 70% to send it. so he hasn't been serious. he talks about them getting ahead but he's helping them get ahead. what we need to do is stop sending any critical technology to china, and look at the fact that they're building up their military, way ahead of us in having the largest naval fleet,

developing hypersonic missiles, we barely started. they're moving in spates in ai. and you look at all the things they continue to steal from us on top of the fact that they're killing americans. so, no, i think sending your cronies there to go make friends with china is not the answer. acknowledging the fact that you've literally continued to help them over the years, we have to wake up. we have to start treating china for the enemy that they are. they are having a field day with us because they see us as naive. that has to stop. >> steve: governor, you know, when you look at what the biden administration is trying to do and the white house communications team, essentially they're trying to rebrand something, the term bidenomics. a year ago was talking about high inflation, high gas prices, supply chain problems and things you can't afford anymore and now they're using this to say, look, the numbers aren't too bad when you look at the numbers. but people aren't feeling it. >> it's because it's not real. and, you know, biden thinks that if he says something it's going

to be true. let's look at what bidenomics is. he compares it to the american dream. ask any american family if they think it's the american dream when inflation is twice as high as what it was when he came into office. when american families, 60% of them are in country card debt, one in six american families can't pay their utility bill. in instead he should be clawing back the $500 billion unspent covid dollars instead of 87,000 irs agents going after middle america he should be going after the hundreds of billions of dollars of covid fraud. those are the things he needs to do. groceries and gas are still high, american families feel it. you can call it whatever you want but it's not the american dream. and let me tell you the, president harris, she's going to be even worse than that. >> kayleigh: yes >> brian: governor, as you know, as ms. secretary, as you know come august 23rd we have a debate, you need 40,000 donors and a certain percentage in the polls. how close are you to getting that threshold and will you sign the form that says you'll support the eventual nominee

whether it's you or not. >> we have qualified to be on the debate stage. we are looking forward to it. i have had 150,000 donations from all 50 states. >> steve: great. >> we're excited. and, you know, i think that my guess is we have six or seven on that stage at the time and we'll have everybody see us side by side. yes, i will absolutely sign what we need to sign. we've got to see the bigger picture. anyone is better than president kamala harris, anyone. i plan on being that person that takes on kamala, but i'll tell you right now, every republican should be signing that. this is not the time to get personal. this is not the time to get petty. we've got a country to save. >> brian: you mean president biden you mean. >> well, i think it's president harris. you say president biden, a vote for president biden is a vote for president kamala harris. they know it. it's time that republicans realize it. >> steve: you've been saying that for a little while. i have a feeling, nikki haley.com is where you would

like people to go for more information about your campaign. >> i would love for people to go to nikki haley.com. we're going be to be in lincoln today, hanover tomorrow, we're having a great time in the north country of new hampshire hope everyone checks us out and if you like what we have to say go tell ten people. >> governor ambassador thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> steve: 12 minutes before the top of the hour on this friday, adam klotz has been tracking the weather outside. it was so hot he's come inside >> adam: yeah, steamy out there air conditioning in here thanks for letting me back inside. 77 degrees in new york city but the dew points up in the 70s so it feels really sticky. you see 70s kind of sweeping down across the southern tier of the country as well. going to be a hot one, also going to be a stormy one at least for folks in the middle of the country, warm air cold air bumping into each other, oklahoma, kansas parts of north texas seeing it all week long currently severe thunderstorms sweeping across portions of oklahoma. i leave you with high temperatures on the day again climbing to the mid upper 80s,
