administration has chosen to block the information for their own self-interest. >> carley: congressman pete sessions thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it? >> you bet. >> carley: great to be back to work with you after one day off for me and one week off for you. >> todd: making me sound like a slacker. >> carley: hardest worker in the business. >> president biden is in lithuania ahead of a summit key discussions over russia and ukraine and cluster bombs. >> best way to achieve peace is to have ukraine get more battlefield victories. >> if you ever working with me and i hear you treat another colleague with disrespect. i promise you i many fire you on the spot. >> >> senate hearing. >> excuse me while i fire my staff. >> there have a been a number of sightings. >> inmate michael are

intensifying. police are promising they are closing in. >> i'm not going to be terrified but i'm cautious. >> look at the door. oh my god. >> pummeled bracing for potentially the worst flooding in years. the worst damage seen in new york's valley. >> you woke up and seen a natural disaster hit. >> jr. hang on and win the 2023 team mobile home run derby. he and his dad both home run derby champions. ♪ >> we begin with a fox news alert. president biden expected to speak at any moment after arriving at the nato summit. earlier he attended a bilateral meeting with the president of lithuania where he welcomed the idea of sweden joining the alliance. >> i want to thank you, mr. president, for hosting this historic summit at an important time. first time that nato leaders

will meet together 31 and looking soon with 32 members. >> brian: fantastic news. biden is scheduled to meet with turkey's president today. tomorrow he will meet with ukrainian president zelenskyy. wasn't clear zelenskyy was coming but clearly he is now. the focus focus largely on the support for kyiv and the possibility of ukraine joining the alliance. >> ukraine has further steps to take along its reform path but allies will send a united, positive signal on ukraine's path to future membership in the alliance. >> steve: future membership, of course. now, earlier today, france revealed plans to transfer a long range missiles to ukraine but nato members remain divided on ukraine's future membership, especially now during russia's invasion. the family photo where all the world leaders get together is expected just about an hour from right now.

the big news is we were told within the last hour that the president of the united states would be making comments and we did not know that we thought that there would be comments later. so it is curious. and we're wondering what the development would be. clearly the white house would like it get whatever the president says out there into the nation's bloodstream before all the morning shows start. so, we are expecting the president to make a statement of some sort from lithuania regarding something. we don't know the topic. will it be about sweden and nato? will it be about ukraine and cluster munitions? we don't know. you will see the president live very shortly. >> ainsley: big announcement when we woke up this morning sweden looks like it will be in. we are reading sweden is close to being accepted into nato. when you listen to the white house press secretary she made it sound like they already are in. 32 members including sweden and showing the strength of this alliance together. that would be huge if sweden

joins nato. >> brian: they wanted to get in. for the longest time we want to be neutral so close to russia. we know it's going to aggravate them don't want to do it. finland same thing. own border. we will drill with you guys, but we are going to stay out of it. after the invasion, they said the heck with that, we are in. so an exact reversz sal of what russia had hoped for. also, i think it's clear that finland got in quickly because there was no problem. turkey problem with sweden terror groups exist in sweden and they don't think sweden has been aggressive enough in breaking them up. they want f-16s. if you get the defense system from russia we are not going to give you see face at this indicated fighter jets and that's the way joe biden ended it. joe biden said what do you need to get turkey in he said i need those f-16s. senator menendez says you should not be giving turkey f 15s, we

have made that clear. so he is going against his own party in case and i understand both sides of the issue. you need them in and solidified. sweden is an asset. finland is an asset. they got their own military. they are already spending more than 2% on their military. it's all plus. >> picture of erdogan and the swedish prime minister and the nato secretary general. the three of them are standing next to each other and all their hands on top of each other collapsed. >> brian: looks like they are in. >> steve: we knew sweden would ultimately be allowed in but at the last minute turkey was holding things up. they were clearly using. >> ainsley: negotiating power. >> steve: essentially they had the opposition as a negotiating tool. you are absolutely right, ainsley. they used leverage to negotiate $20 billion worth of usf-16s. a couple of it u.s. senators in particular mitch mcconnell

said no sale until sweden is admitted. sounds like sweden shortly about will be admitted as the 32nd member state of nato. they won't be hear at the summit. >> it is curious. i'm curious what the president is going to say whether it's about sweden or whether it's going to be about his meeting tomorrow with mr. zelenskyy. what kyiv wants, what zelenskyy wants, he wants specific pledges on when ukraine can join nato as well. but, the administration is reluctant to because we're in the middle of prosecuting a war against well an invasion against russia. >> ainsley: look at that picture right there it looks like he is yelling, right? if you look at the front cover of the "new york post" this morning it says old yeller. it's take on the movie we all loved when we were younger. >> steve: about a dog. >> brian: when a young kid 14 years old had to get a shotgun and shoot his dog you think one

more vet visit would have helped. >> ainsley: saying behind the scenes, behind closed doors he is lashing out at everybody. he routinely directs f-bombs at the staff if they don't meet expectations. >> steve: also he is oldish. >> brian: some people mellow. henry sis jerry there is no rumors of the 101-year-old kissinger having melt downs in his office. >> steve: that we know of. joe biden, the guy in aviator sunglasses who loves. >> ainsley: uncle joe. >> steve: just a charming guy he gloves out for ice cream with the kids. he whispers in public but he yells and cusses behind the scenes. here is a clip from axios they say behind closed doors biden has such a quick trigger temper some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. some take a colleague along almost as a shield against a

solo blast. the president's admonitions include how the explicative don't you know. this don't explicative, explicative me. and get the explicative out of here. according to former and current biden aides who have witnessed and been on the receiving end of such outbursts. we have heard this before. >> brian: we have seen it. >> ainsley: what did he say to your own son you stupid s.o.b. >> steve: he absolutely did. it's curious because it is part of a drum beat now where there are members of the mainstream he media and stack this up with maureen dowd a couple days ago like "the washington post" and the "new york times" almost like hey, joe, time to go edging him out. >> ainsley: is he leaking sensitive information to our adversaries about our 155 shells. , that we're low on them. awkwardly came out on downing street not knowing where to go. >> brian: so embarrassing.

>> ainsley: ains falls on the stage. falls on his bicycle. you look at him and feel sorry for him when you see all of that, but is it time for him to go? he is running our country. >> brian: half that stuff happened and we were the only one roberting it. i always flip around. no one was reporting and writing it. why is everybody writing it and everyone reporting it. i 15u678 jake tapper this hunter biden story and the investigation, that's news worthy. i'm going to follow it. really? only took him two years, maybe three. here is joe biden pledging to do just the opposite on zoom talking to his staff. >> i'm not joking when i say this. if you are ever working with me and i hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, i promise you i will fire you on the spot. on the spot. no ifs ands or buts. everybody, everybody is entitled to decency and dignity.

that's been missing in a big way the last four years. >> steve: okay. so, under that metric, joe biden would be out in his own administration. >> ainsley: that was day one right after the inauguration. >> steve: absolutely. i think it was in the afternoon of that first day. so there is this constant drum beat now from the mainstream media talking about, you know, maybe joe is just a little tooled and crotchety. you look at that headline. unrelated decline causing adults to have out"ghos. >> outburst of angst gear. >> brian: running mate can't keep staff evidently she is behind closed doors. blaming other people for her

missteps. we will see. seems lining all the heat is going on joe. and just keep in mind and we will talk about later in the showment investigations are nothing, if not intensifying. and y you have got the fbi director who is going to be front and center tomorrow. james comer going 100 miles a minute but not through biden's taxes like they did with trump and found nothing. but they are going through the banks that his son and son's shell companies were involved. in we have only gotten to the beginning of the banks. as this thing heats up the question is how many more people are going to be the lead blocker for a president that can't get over 40% approval rating and they know there is a window of opportunity to rotate him out without much disruption and you don't really see the governor pritzker or governor gavin newsom or governor murphy or governor polus people thought to be start to be worthy of running for president, start to be presidential contenders are putting teams together.

you see the republicans, they were on desantis for waiting as long as he did to get a team up much later than the fall to go run for president is going to be late. >> ainsley: brian, don't you think the democratic party or leaders are saying behind closed doors he beat trump before. he's the only person we know. >> steve: that's the logic. >> ainsley: get gavin newsom look at his record look at him telling you one thing and doing another, going to that fancy restaurant, first laundry, i think that's their mentality. >> brian: i think that was it physical you see how poorly he has done on the world stage on the interviews he refuses to take. >> ainsley: i think they are worried about that. >> brian: is he even worse than he was two years ago. >> steve: they are worried about losing the white house. remember about six months ago where there were a number of mainstream outlets doing stories that were designed to bolster kamala harris, to rebuild her because she had had such a bad time. and that, obviously, didn't work.

>> brian: not yet. >> steve: obviously now when you look at the polls and the current president is so far under water, you have got to figure they are saying, you know what, joe, this would be a good time to go because there is plenty of time. another nine months before the serious voting gets started when somebody like gavin newsom, governor whitmer, somebody else could actually take the reins and then they could say and now this person could beat donald trump. but right now the thinking behind the scenes is joe biden is the only person who auto could beat donald trump. >> brian: so you have his failure in interviews and presentations, the temper that's out there. but i keep in the back of your mind the investigations. and this guy, dr. gal luft is the one who came forward in 2019 and said it's not a hunter biden situation. this is a biden family situation. the fact that devon archer is set to testify they could point directly to joe biden taking

part in international business deals that if the country found out how deep the biden family was with china, our number one enemy bar none who has nothing but muffled up since he took over who got rid of the chinese initiative the day he got there, and listed certain people linked to the hunter biden business dealings got them off the sanctions list right away. there are so many things that could be almost, no matter -- i don't care how many times barack obama can go to bat for you, how much power they could put in the democratic party. how intimidating other outlets can be. he might be unprotectable. >> ainsley: think about that, our adversaries paying people in the biden family, his brother, his son, money in exchange for policy. >> steve: right. the problem with that particular guy that you mentioned, brian, gal luft was indicted yesterday on 36 charges. he faces 100 years in prison. he is on the lamb. he is the guy james comer said was their secret informant who

had all the goods on the biden family. we are going to talk more extensively about him in about 45 minutes. >> brian: do you think that's unrelated the fact all these charges on him? >> ainsley: he said that's not true. the reason they are charging him with all of this he went to the fbi and he told him all these secrets about the biden family that he knew and in exchange, the very same agency, the doj, the big umbrella went after him. >> brian: he is on the lamb now. cut a tape and gave it to the "new york post." this is my story. this is what they are trying to keep out. >> steve: it just adds to the parade of witnesses, puzzle parts where you are thinking okay, now, is this going to be the thing that says to joe and joe's family, you know what? maybe it's just time -- you've gotten a lot done in your first four years, support the next nominee and let's go. >> brian: what's so fascinating, too. and just came out. how many links the biden administration has currently now

and the former vice president and the obama administration have directly to hunter biden. this guy was -- i think he was closer to the staffers on the biden team than joe biden. >> steve: speaking of joe biden, here he is with the secretary general of the nato organization. >> even stronger. this is -- this is historic because the agreement we have made yesterday will make sweden a full member of nato. that will make our alliance even more capable of defending all allies. at this meeting, we will also send a message to ukraine that we stand by them as long be as needed. and also that we agree on the united and positive message on the path forward for membership for ukraine.

another major message from this summit will be that we need to invest more in our defense and will invest [inaudible] where we 2% for g.d.p. is a minimum. good news european allies are stepping up. this year we have new numbers showing that they have added 8.3% in the for defense budget. this is record my high. that demonstrates that allies are delivering on their commitment. so, once again, mr. president, it's great to have you here at the nato summit. >> it's good to be back here. thank you continuing [inaudible] as i made -- the press is not at all surprised that i have been touting the fact that i think it's critical moment ukraine in the whole nato issue that you continue to lead nato. you're trusted.

no one knows the situation that we're facing better than you do can and this is an historic moment. adding finland and sweden to -- to nato is consequential. and your leadership really matters. and we agree on the language that -- that we posed -- that you proposed relative to the future of ukraine being able to join nato. and we're looking for continued united nato. i have heard you say -- my american president heard me say many times that i still think that president putin thinks the way he succeeds is to break nato. not going to do that especially with you with us -- leading us. thank you for, thank you. thank you all. >> mr. president, with what is your role in getting 32 -- mr. president, why weren't you at the signing?

>> steve: okay. well, the white house said the president was going to have remarks. they were pretty general, but i think the secretary general of the -- of nato, mr. salten berger set the table by saying this was an historic subject mitt because they would be adding sweden as the 32nd member state. also, they were talking about how they would be helping ukraine and the president referred to language that was going to be included on the communique at the end ever the summit when ukraine can join. the problem is they are in the middle of a war if they joined right now we would have to be all in. obviously it will be interesting to see the terminology and exactly how they word how sweden gets in. >> ainsley: it was hard to hear him because the microphone so far away. >> steve: spray shot. >> ainsley: very short. i expected him to speak longer.

talked about looking forward to united nato. mentioned zelenskyy, meeting with zelenskyy and ukraine and how he is encouraged by them joining nato and wants a pathway to membership for this country. >> so the problem is not ukraine. we know they know they want to fight and west and in the european union. getting into the eu is easier getting into nato. got to make democratic reforms and they want to get specific. zelenskyy says, listen, i hear you. just give me the criteria. lay it out so i can tell my people this is the pathway. so if we could win this war, get our land back, we are going to be protected from here on in. now, one of vladimir putin's chief goals was to make sure that ukraine never got in nato. he didn't think he had to worry about sweden and finland. other thing to keep in mind, too. the word is the french are going to give long range missiles. i heard that u.k. was doing that what happened to that? we have the atacms that go further than the himars. the ukrainians have already

showed great discipline in not doing anything with their weapons that would get nato in additional trouble. that is starting to target multiple targets inside russia which you can't blame them if they did start. so you have the cluster bombs in there you have the french pledging long range missiles. now, we have told our allies, can you give some of the f-15s we sold to you, you could give them to ukraine. but we're worried that russia is going to misinterpret it so we're not giving any of our f-15ss to ukraine. we said in the fall we will begin to train ukrainians on the f-15s. why are you waiting until the fall? there is no roorve to wait until the fall. >> ainsley: what are the rules when this comes to nato. why can we give cluster bombs but not certain planes. >> steve: they are controversial. >> brian: individuals. and certain countries in nato that don't want us to do it. the u.k. is one of them. but, if you look at what the russians are doing. they are dropping them on

civilian targets only hit the military. four or five locations. we cannot without giving them bunker busters we cannot get into these locations. they have formed cement underground cities, almost, and links the russians have done through the winter. so to get to them, you need a way to detonate the mine fields and get inside it. this is one way to do it. >> steve: headline is sweden is in and ukraine will be. in we just don't know when. >> ainsley: zelenskyy was invited to the nato summit. he is going to attend and sit down with our president, so is erdogan, they are having bilateral meetings one-on-one sit downs with president biden. you are right. he basically is saying here's the plan. i just need a signature. as soon as this war is over, we want in. sign on the dotted line. >> brian: is it clear that they gave them that plan already? i don't think we committed to ukraine.

>> ainsley: if you read all the soundbites of zelenskyy he does basically safe this is what i want. whether it happens i don't know. >> steve: hear from the nato guy he said we have got the pledge. we have got to the wording. we are going to show it to the world coming up at the conclusion. also, we think in about an hour, 45 minutes or so. the so-called class picture where all of the members, world leaders are standing in one shot smiling at one camera. we will take you there live and see if there are any more comments. >> brian: the other thing is that donald trump must be pleased about they mentioned what he has mentioned if you don't give your 2% of military, military -- if you don't do that and give that commitment, you're not officially nato. it puts too much pressure on us. i know that sweden and finland are already doing it. ukraine obviously will do it. we'll see who else will do it because i'm not sure germany is there. i'm not sure if france is there. i think the u.k. is there. pooled is there for sure. >> steve: all right. 6:23 now in new york city and we

have a fox weather alerted. a summer's worth of rain pounding parts of the northeast in just hours yesterday. look at that radar center screen. >> brian: and new england is bracing for even more catastrophic flooding, forcing dozens of water rescues and year whelming whole towns. >> ainsley: katie berne joins us live from highland falls, new york. katie, tell us what is happening there. >> good morning, guys. a lot of people are comparing the flooding here in new york hudson valley and the flooding in vermont to past hurricanes. that's how much damage there is. the water was so strong at times it had the strength to tear apart roads and bridges like this one behind me. officials are trying to figure out if it's passable right now. they have it barricaded off so people won't drive or walk over it. can you tell at the time that water was pushing trees up against the railing here. visuals like this all over town and nearby towns there are crumbling streets and debris spanning miles in this area

where we are in highland falls, but, also, targeting places like montgomery and west point right nearby us. the rushing water was powerful enough to mangel train tracks as it moved through kind of like a water fall that's how people described it all through these towns it. brought in massive trees and also boulders with it. very dangerous scene. a lot of people felt trapped inside their homes when this was hang. residential streets looked like niagara falls. that's what people were saying. enough to that the water has receded people are starting to clean out their basements. get thr soaked and destroyed belongings. >> i could not believe the hell. it was just like niagara falls. it was amazing. the power, the strength of the water that was coming down the hill. and then to see the real desks the sidewalks and our neighbors. >> now, a state of emergency has been declared in orange county

where we are but over in vermont a disaster declaration declared there for a number of counties to free up federal funding for people who are really going to need it in the recovery process. we know there were dozen of water rescues through the night. officials are worried about the mountainous communities in that region as well. >> steve: all right. katie, thank you very much for the live report. meanwhile, another fox news alert. an interstate manhunt is continuing at this hour for arsonist and suspected murderer michael burrham who escaped from a jail. is he believed to be hiding in half an acre allegheny national forest. he is out there somewhere they think. now they believe the fugitive, who is considered armed and dangerous, is getting help from somebody outside. here with an update is pennsylvania state police communications director lt. adam breed. good morning to you. >> good morning, everyone. >> steve: bring us up to speed, how did this guy get out. >> on late thursday night he was

age to will tie bed sheets together and escape from the prison. he escaped out in the local community and we believe he is still close and we're enlisting the public's help to help us track him down. >> steve: lt., i was reading just like in the movies he tied together a bunch of bed sheets and he had a rope and got down down to the ground and skedaddled. why is there is a supposition he is getting help from somebody who is outside the prison waiting for him? >> well, is he local to the area there. he has ties to western-southern new york as well. so, we're open to all avenues and we're doing our best and aggressively pursuing him. >> steve: and you are appearing on tv this morning to get the word out about him. why? >> well, we believe that he is possibly armed. we know that he is dangerous. he also has survivalist training and really we want to spread

notarize everyone with his photo while we believe he is in the area, still, he still may be in the surrounding state. we are hoping the public will dial 911 and help us out if they see him. >> steve: they are showing one of his mug shots right there. we are talking about half a million acres of forests. how many towns are located in there? how many different access roads? how many different places could he be? >> sure. so, it's very, very rural, obviously. we are dealing with a large forest, like the allegheny forest up there. it does present some challenges to us. but, nothing we couldn't overcome so far. >> steve: of course. if anybody in that region or any of place else sees somebody who looks a lot like him they should dial 911, right? >> absolutely. hoping the public help us out and support has been great and we hope that continues. >> steve: lt., good luck on the hunt. >> thank you.
