that's what putin wanted, right? if you get a face off you get pressure to get a cease-fire and work toward a settlement and russia stays there in southeastern ukraine. >> that's correct. that's right. they do, bill. but this is one of those we'll have to make the hard choices going back to 1955, the chancellor of germany made the hard decision. do you take it all or half? do we want to have an endless war? over 300,000 soldiers have been killed on both sides. you look at the cities that have been destroyed. 1-third of ukraine the people in ukraine are gone. they are displaced citizens and refugees. how will this war end? it's a discussion they need to have this week. how will we get there? what are the hard choices we have to make? i don't think we're up for the fight right now. >> bill: we are listening

carefully what it comes from that tomorrow. general kellogg, come back. >> dana: halls of congress is buzzing with activity. lawmakers return to washington. republicans are going to take action against the head of the f.b.i. and justice department claiming they are politically biased against the gop. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." good morning. got through it. >> bill: back on the bike. dig it. i'm bill hemmer, good morning at home. speaker of the house kevin mccarthy and other top republicans have made it very clear they plan to hold merrick garland and f.b.i. director accountable for what they claim to be a dual system of justice. wray will appear on wednesday before the house judiciary committee where republicans have a lot of questions about everything from hunter biden's quote sweetheart deal to the investigation into classified documents at mar-a-lago. >> whether it's the way they misused fisa, which is a complicated issue but a very

important one that deals with the integrity of our constitution, all the way to investigating schools and school boards. it is time for the committee to know the truth so the people find out the truth. >> bill: david spunt begins a new week from the department of justice there. david, hello. >> good morning to you. both senate republicans but more house republicans are laser focused on making changes, possibly at the heads of the department of justice and f.b.i. they call this not only a sweetheart deal but say this plea deal involving the president's son exemplifies what they call a dual system of justice. hunter biden will be before a federal judge in a few weeks in wilmington, delaware on july 26th. he will enter his plea on two misdemeanor tax violations in a plan to avoid the felony gun charge by entering a diversion program.

republicans have questions for attorney general merrick garland and chris wray. also u.s. attorney david weiss. he is the donald trump appointed u.s. attorney in delaware who stayed on during the biden administration to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. he is taking heat from republicans over the plea deal. yesterday iowa senator chuck grassley sent weiss a letter asking him to explain himself regarding his assistant u.s. attorney leslie wolf. according to the wise will blower wolf nixed the plan for them to look at a guest house on the property where hunter once stayed. wolf admitted there was more probable cause but stopped the plan due to optics. according to shapley she said the decision was whether the juice was worth the squeeze, end quote. a registered democrat and mentioned by name 53 times in shapley's testimony to congress. grassley learned there were no i.r.s. agents present during an october 2020 meeting involving

wolf about a specific 1023 form. we talked about this before, bill and dana. that's the form that contains an allegation from a source that may be true, may not. however, grassley says he has seen a form that includes an allegation that then vice president joe biden took a bribe from a foreign country. the white house has tamped down that claim. wray will be at congress in 48 hours. expect the 1023 to come up. >> bill: an interesting wednesday. david spunt from d.o.j. today. thanks. >> u.s. attorney weiss has to explain himself. this investigation into hunter biden in delaware is either a lie or incompetent. there is no way that it should take five years to get to a two-count misdemeanor tax plea and then to dismiss the gun charges. >> dana: republican presidential candidate chris christie blasting the slap on the wrist plea deal for hunter biden.

james freeman is from the "wall street journal" and fox news contributor. i get the sense a lot of people feel like how could that possibly be just two misdemeanors in five years? >> i don't know anyone can take it seriously. two i.r.s. whistleblowers talking about all the obstacles put in the way of an aggressive prosecution or investigation and prosecution. prosecutors who didn't want to file charges. you add merrick garland saying it would be an unfettered investigation. seems clear it wasn't. these are all peripheral. what did people get for all the money they gave hunter biden? >> bill: we don't have that answer yet. >> that's what we need investigated. >> bill: i don't know if we'll ever get that answer. i don't think anybody that sits at this table this week, next week are next year it was a sweetheart deal. christie is right. it should not take five years to

get a decision. >> it will be tough to get the answer but the bidens have never been forced to give any answer. there is no sort of structure here where they say we're really doing it for this charity, nothing. what was it for? are they going to come back years later and he was an expert on ukrainian natural gas or chinese finance. >> dana: the attorney general merrick garland is scheduled to testify on september 20th. do you think it is beneficial to them or rather get it over with sooner than later? >> i think they probably need some time to come up with what is the answer. the five years, however long it has been. people in the obama administration were raising questions about this practice of hunter tagging along behind joe with his hand out and all these years they haven't come up with a good answer yet. they might need another couple months. >> bill: he is always in the

background. we had the governor from north dakota on last hour. a question about what happens at the end of august and some democratic questions about what happens there. this is how he is selling himself and introducing himself to america. >> i've spent my life in technology. it is changing every job, every company and every industry and we're looking forward. i have always been in businesses and now when i've had a chance to serve as governor we treat the taxpayers like customers. >> to some people that might

seem like a strange answer. i think it makes perfect sense because when you get down to the two presidential candidates, it is a choice. one or the other and you have to make the call on which one is better for the country. business fortunately you tend to have more options who you want to do business with. >> bill: he thinks they will be there and momentarily mike pence will be there as well. the democrat. i don't know what they are going to do. let's go to february of this year. the head of the dnc. >> this committee put together a counter proposal that reflects our values and will strengthen our party. this calendar does what it long overdue, expands the number of voices in the early window and elevates diverse communicates that are at the core of the democratic party. >> bill: south carolina, new hampshire, i don't know. seems like they have twisted

themselves into a big old pretzel. >> normal temptation for politicians to fix the rules in their favor. biden lost to iowa and new hampshire last time and won south carolina. that was his big comeback and wants to elevate south carolina, fend off challengers, rewards his friends from that state. what is strange they thought they could bully new hampshire and iowa into agreeing. new hampshire has been first in the nation for 100 years. this is a great tradition. they are the whole populous gets into the idea we pick presidents. and i don't know who at the white house thought they would just never mind, okay. >> dana: you shouldn't pick fights you can't win. that's what they did and now they have this headache. fun to watch, though. >> bill: it will be a doozy. it is state law. you are saying change your law and they are saying not so fast. james, great to have you back. it's been too long. breaking news right now over

this inmate mentioned this an hour ago. the disgraced doctor larry nasser has been stabbed multiple times inside a prison in florida. he was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, many olympians. bryan llenas has the news. >> we can confirm that convicted child molester larry nasser was assaulted on sunday at the high security federal prison coleman in florida and is in stable condition. associated press reports he was stabbed multiple times, including in the back and in the chest. now citing privacy reasons the bureau of prisons would only confirm an inmate was assaulted and said responding staff immediately initiated lifesaving measures, staff requested emergency medical services and lifesaving efforts continued. the inmate was transported by ems to a local hospital for

further treatment and evaluation. the federal bureau of investigation was notified. no staff or other inmates were injured and at no time was the public in danger. an internal investigation is ongoing. it is operated and located an hour northwest of orlando. this facility has the highest staff to inmate ratio and there is close control of all inmate movement. still experts will tell you, it is not about getting a weapon into a facility. inmates can make weapons out of almost anything. now nasser, the disgraced former sports doctor, is serving 40 to 175 years after being found guilty in 2018 of molesting more than 300 women and girls as young as six years old including some of the nation's top gymnasts. nasser sexually assaulted athletes under the guise he was providing medical treatment when he worked at michigan state

university and usa gymnastics olympic team. separately he was sentenced to 60 years on child porn charges. >> dana: the push for a federal mandate forcing car companies to make more electric vehicles is being called an attack on rural america. a group of 20 attorneys general are blasting the move. kentucky attorney general daniel cameron will tell us why he thinks it is such a terrible idea. plus this. >> america -- >> she needs to cut it out. we see you. there is all kinds of names for her. >> bill: wow. >> dana: name calling on the campaign trail. >> bill: it didn't take long, wow. >> dana: attacking casey desantis as america's karen. artificial intelligence says it can do anything better than humans. it says it. we'll have the sound after the break. ♪

>> bill: 18 minutes past the hour. the suspect in a deadly shooting spree from brooklyn to queens on saturday has been named. they say the 25-year-old man was riding a scooter which is all too common in new york now. randomly targeting pedestrians, killing one and injuring three others. alexis mcadams is here in new york with us now. alexis. >> bill, good morning. right now the family of this 86-year-old man is grieving shot and killed on a walk in a random shooting spree here in new york city. the suspect is be hyped bars

this morning. take a look on your screen. 25-year-old seen after he was arrested on sunday facing murder and attempted murder charges. the 25-year-old smiling as he got in the back seat of a cop car wearing handcuffs here. he is accused of shooting 57bd killing an 86-year-old man and injuring three others in a series of shootings that left crime scenes across new york city. he was riding around on the scooter when he pulled out a gun and randomly shot these people. he had one other arrest, bill, back in 2019. according not "new york post" he had a ghost gun with no serial number. >> nine millimeter semi automatic pistol was recovered. extended magazine and other rounds were also recovered. >> this comes as police investigate the third vigilante killing in the city in the past three months. this time a cvs employee

arrested after he stabbed a shoplifter to death. he faced murder and plan slaughter charges. he said he was punched in the face by a homeless shoplifter and whipped out a knife and stabbed the shoplifter. the man who died was a known thief with a long rap sheet stealing from this location and other locations and accused of doing it at other stores. the violent weekend comes at kathy hochul claims new york city is safer than other big cities. many new yorkers don't feel the same. it doesn't make people feel good this morning. bail reform and saying there are changes that need to be made reminding judges to look at the power returned to them saying you should look to see whether the perp is a repeat offender. people ask that every day when people get out of jail and back on the streets. in this case he faces 25 years to life behind bars and he will be in court later today. >> bill: thanks, alexis mcadams in the streets of new york. thanks. dana. >> dana: things are getting

weird. panel of a.i. rob other told reporters in siter land they could be more efficient leaders than humans. they held a press conference. good global summit in geneva. they had some issues, of course, inconsistent answers to certain questions. unclear exactly how many of the bots responses were scripted or pre-programmed. >> robots have the ability to lead than human leaders. we can achieve great things. we don't have the same things that can process large amounts of data quickly in order to make the best decisions. >> dana: i don't know why anyone wasted time doing it. they bots promise not to rebel against humans during the press conference. >> bill: i feel better, how about you? >> dana: not me. >> bill: before the bots can lead they're heading to court.

lawsuit alleging meta took copyright material from comedians and trained a.i. models to use their work. experts say it is the beginning of many lawsuits against new tech. "new york post" columnist is here with us and co-host of the bottom line and dagen mcdowell. chat gbt contains knowledge of particular works and training dataset and able to output similar content. that's the -- you could say that would be the defense, right? if you will go with similar content, it is not precisely the same. this is a whole new can of worms here, right? people will get ripped off. >> i'm the humanoid to translate all of this. so when they use the language training a.i. models, that just simply means creating statistical models or creating

brains. creating digital neural networks capable of answering questions and engaging in conversations with people. these are digital brains that they are creating. they are essentially these digital brains sucking up all the immense amounts of information, including books. so once these digital brains have read these books, you can't unread them. i did read the lawsuit it is not clear these books were actually read. these books were allegedly included in these other shadow library websites likely brayer genesis, z library. unclear why they aren't suing them. it is clear because open a.i. is partially owned by big money microsoft and then meta , multi-billion dollar corporations. they are suing them and they don't go into the damages but it

opens up the door of copyright infringement. what goes into these new neural networks and new brains and what comes out of them when they are being -- >> dana: it is a lot. the humanoids are getting into politics and msnbc they had words for casey desantis. let's play it for you. >> for many she is the brighter side to florida's angry governor. for others she has become america's karen. >> david, >> i called her, you know, serena waterford wanna be needs to cut it out. all kinds of names for her. she needs to stop measuring the drapes in the white house and think she is a jackie o reincar gnat. >> dana: they've decided to make her the target. how will that go? >> absolutely. if you even leave msnbc host speechless you've gone too far. the attacks on the person rather

than the policy or her husband's policies or the campaign they were talking about really just negates the whole purpose of political discourse. we're being mean and catty. joe biden and michelle obama were trothed with kid gloves by the media. she is inspiring -- >> dana: they would probably not agree with that. hillary clinton hates "the new york times" and republicans say how can you hate them they did everything for you but she does not like them. >> david jolly, they are still calling him a republican? okay. as informative as a bellching contest at a county fair going after -- >> dana: you been to one of those? >> many. mother cancer survivor. calling her a racial slur to be clear. the left going after women who, you know, they do not fall in line with the liberal orthodoxy,

then they are the enemy. they want to use women as somehow weak and aggrieved group that only the democrats can help. if you don't function as that group and if you do not tow the line with their orthodoxy they will destroy you in word and at every turn and it is gross but transparent. >> bill: how remarkable how quickly it came. >> dana: for casey desantis who takes it all with dignity and grace, a lot of republican women are treated this way and i think that for republican voters it makes her more attractive to them and they care for her and they are worried about her and will defend her. sometimes the democrats do this and it backfires. >> quickly. >> i think this is middle school cattyness and we can rise above it and not stoop to it. >> bill: thanks for being here. >> dana: some democratic lawmakers breaking with president biden over sending

cluster munitions to ukraine. will the opposition hurt the fight against putin? former vice president mike pence is next. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance... so you only pay for what you need. that's my boy. now you get out there, and you make us proud, huh? ♪ bye, uncle limu. ♪ stay off the freeways! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> dana: rain in the northeast quickly turning deadly with more flooding expected later today. it caused destruction spanning from vermont to the southern region of new york. one person is dead after being swept into a ravine. roads and bridges are impacted by the flooding. over 20 million people still under the flash flood watch. rain totals nearing eight inches in pennsylvania. >> bill: meanwhile from london president biden departing now en route to lithuania where tomorrow you will have the beginning of a nato meeting where everybody knows topic a is the war in ukraine. you see him getting on board the marine helicopter in windsor moments ago. he was visiting king charles for the first time after his coronation. we'll see what the leaders come

up with in lithuania. two-day meeting there. the world will be watching. what will they say? has this war reached a stalemate? there is a lot of news on this over the weekend. we'll watch it carefully. meanwhile, some democratic lawmakers ripping president biden's decision to send cluster munitions to ukraine. the president defending the move saying the weapons are vital in the fight and war against putin's army. >> president biden: took me a while to be convinced to do it. the main thing is they have the weapons to stop the russians now from, keep them stopping the ukrainian offensive through these areas. or they don't. and i think they needed them. >> bill: former vice president 2024 presidential candidate mike pence is with me. thank you for coming back and thanks for being

there was a quote we picked up from yesterday. we kill 100 russians, they put in 100 more. we kill them, they put in 100 more after that. has this war then reached a stalemate that putin wants and could work to his favor? is that the outcome of what comes of this nato summit in lithuania? >> well, bill, i did go into kiev at the invitation of president zelensky and i met with his military team and met with relief workers working with samaritan's purse and all last week karen and i were in iowa traveling around to gatherings large and small. everywhere people were reaffirming the belief america is the leader of the free world but joe biden hasn't been

leading in the way the american people want him to lead. frankly, he hasn't explained what our national interest is in ukraine. he gives these gauzy speeches about democracy. our interest there is to give the ukrainian military the means to repel russian aggression. this is a straight up russian invasion. this is not a territorial dispute. vladimir putin is not a genius. it is in our interest to stop him. joe biden has slow on it. he just approved cluster munitions which the russians have been using for a year and a half against ukrainian forces. but what i heard from president zelensky is they are still waiting on the 33 abrams tanks that were promised back in january. and they are still waiting for u.s. approval to transfer f-16s from one of our nato allies. bill, joe biden has done a terrible job explaining our

national interest. he has been slow in providing the support. i welcome the cluster munitions. what i saw and heard -- i visited the old front lines in a place called mosha and bucha. ukraine can fight and win and repel a russian invasion but we need to get them what they need. >> bill: there is no doubting what their motivation is in this war and proven it time and again. the "wall street journal." why it's such slow going. the russians have dug in for 15 miles. that's a tough thing to crack. back to general kellogg from 30 minutes ago. how does this war end? >> well, i think it ends by giving the ukrainians what they need to win. there is some talk -- my former running mate likes to talk about solving it in a day. the only way you would solve this war in a day is if you gave

vladimir putin what he wanted. they're meeting this week for nato. i really believe and i met vladimir putin and looked him right in the eye. i would tell you if vladimir putin overruns ukraine, if he simply wears down the united states and west no doubt he will cross a border, maybe lithuania itself. or estonia or latvia or the baltics and those will be countries where we would have to send our armed forces to go and fight under our nato treaty. i think it's in the interest of our country to give them what they need, to stop them there, repel them there. make no mistake about it, this is the most effective way to send a message to china that america and the west will not tolerate military aggression by russia or by china to redraw international lines by force.

>> bill: janet yellen was just there and two administration officials go to beijing in a short time. you said my former running mate. zelensky was asked about trump's claim of 24 hours over the weekend and said this. >> looks as if donald trump had these 24 hours ending the war at the cost of ukraine. in other words, to make us give up our territories. well, i think in this way biden could have brought it to an end even in five minutes. but we would not agree. >> bill: you brought up a topic. if you are on the debate stage what would you say to donald trump about the claim of 24 hours? >> well, i would say look, the reason why russia did not even attempt to redraw international lines by force during our administration is because we were strong. we made it clear that we not only would -- had rebuilt our military but they were willing to use military force in syria, armed forces taking down isis,

and frankly we took down over 100 russian soldiers in a military engagement in syria itself. so look, i understand president zelensky's frustration, the russians were in crimea and taken that area during the obama years, but look, there is only one pathway towards success here and that is to give the ukrainian military much more quickly than joe biden has done, what they need to repel the russian invasion and reclaim their country. >> bill: we'll see, maybe that's the outcome of what happens in lithuania. we shall see. hope to speak to you again. mike pence, the former vice president. >> dana: rapper $0.50 giving his two center about the no bail policies in los angeles. he warned the city is finished now that the controversial policy has been reinstated. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles. maybe they will way attention to him. william. >> if anyone should know it's

him. he faced gun, drug and assault charges. he said l.a. is finished after a judge said police cannot hold accused criminals in jail prior to seeing a judge. the rapper attached to this segment from fox la to prove his point. >> starting at midnight tonight the sheriff's department will no longer detain people for crimes such as theft, shoplifting, drug use, vandalism, battery and a whole host of other non-serious, non-violent crimes that affect the quality of life of people here in los angeles county. >> that's deputy d.a. it prohibits police holding suspects 2 to 4 days in jail until the d.a. files charges but deters police. they know it's pointless to arrest someone on a misdemeanor. >> he walks around with a wrench sometimes in his hand, a pair of pliers, hammer. >> he turned on this spigot,

defecated in that corner right there on the last brick. >> multiple times in this l.a. neighborhood they have witnessed this homeless man damage water pipes, cut power and utility lines. >> when you call the police, what do they say to you? >> they say that there is nothing they can really do. >> i have five street lights out on two streets and my house sits in complete darkness and the taxes i pay are outrageous. >> so crime jumped 12% in l.a. last year. violent crime downtown 25%. the no-bail policy was in effect. >> i'm angry with gascon, the city council, the mayor. if it was up to me we would replace them all. >> so basically the impact is, dana, we are talking about that 2 to 4 days between arrest and when the d.a. looks at the case and goes to file the charges and you see a judge.

activists argue bail discriminates against the poor. without it, does anyone show up for court? studies show they don't. back to you. >> dana: william la jeunesse. sorry for the homeowners out there. thank you. >> bill: harry styles hit in the face at a concert. hemmer celebrity news. happened in vienna. here it was. >> dana: wow. >> bill: he took a shot. you see him doubling over there and rubbing his eye. the problem is cropping up recently for a number of artists. adele said she would kill you. all the stuff harry receives on stage. it's teddy bears and water bottles. he can dodge them and catch them. >> dana: nobody should do that. somebody is going to happen. they'll have to put their phones

in the cubby holes outside of the work space. >> bill: that was more than a boa that hit him. whatever it was. >> dana: glad he is all right. more than 20 states are rebuking the white house over its electric vehicle charge. while one a.g. calls the rule unsustainable. >> you predict if they proceed and finalize it we'll go to court and win. hi, i'm william devane. did you know it took our founders 116 days

>> they are staying tight lipped. listen. >> i can't share anything about the f.b.i. and what they are or are not doing with regards to the special envoy. but there is a lot of concern and interest in congress on that committee and others about the status of any potential negotiation with iran. >> back an june 30th the white house asked by reporters deferred. listen. >> this is a personnel issue that is better addressed by our

state department colleagues. >> the day before that, the state department said this, quote, rob mali is on leave and abram paily is serving as acting special envoy for iran. he helped covert meetings with a prisoner exchange and the face of the biden administration over iran's nuclear program. his life long friendship with blinken adds an extra layer of sensitivity to these proceedings. he was last heard from june 29th. he said i've been informed my security clearance is under review. i have not been provided further information but expect the investigation to be resolved favorably and soon. in the meantime i'm on leave. as of right now lines are out to the white house, state department, d.o.d. and f.b.i. no word yet on his status. or these reports that he is now facing potentially a criminal investigation. we'll let you know.

>> bill: it is intriguing. gillian, nice to see you from washington. >> they're not going to see any benefits for this for the foreseeable future . trying to force american consumers to buy these electric vehicles. i don't know how americans are going to be able to afford that into the future. we already have terrible inflation ravaging our country. this is going to make it only worse. >> dana: more than 20 states banding together to blast president biden's proposal pushing americans to buy electric vehicles. my next guest is helping lead the charge. the attorney general of kentucky and running for governor of that fine state. mr. attorney general. why is it a bad idea for the biden add ministration to try t do this? >> i object to the idea that these tailpipe emission policy is sustainable. the fact of the matter is, energy prices have increased

since joe biden took office up 37%. that's unsustainable. especially in a joe biden inflation economy. that is something that cannot stand. why i'm running for governor in the commonwealth of kentucky and encourage your viewers to look at cameron for kentucky.com to find out more about our campaign. at the end of the day this is about making sure that we have common sense policies and proposals that reflect the values and needs of hard working men and women not only across kentucky but across the country. again, this policy is unsustainable in joe biden's economy. inflation is high, energy prices are through the roof at 37% since he took office. it cannot be sustained. that's why myself and patrick morrisey are fighting against this. >> dana: there are 20 states. we can show a map for everybody to see. these are the states trying to
