years, and he's a democrat. and he, actually i should say he or she says the president's son hunter should be facing felony tax charges not misdemeanors. >> brian: meanwhile lucas tomlinson is live in washington. i should say he. that's the pronoun we are going with right, lucas? >> i'll take it. good morning steve, ainsley and ryan. as you mentioned not one whistleblower but two coming out to testify together this afternoon. we don't know the identity of the second whistleblower. for now only known as whistleblower x. >> the oversight committee says is he from the fbi's wilmington office and the biden criminal division. here's a bit from the opening statement not mincing words, quote: prosecutors did not follow the ordinary process. slow-walked the investigation and put in place unnecessary approvals and road blocks from effectively and fixturesly investigating the case. otherwise, perfectly fine. here's from the opening statement from irs whistleblower gary shapely, a supervisor testified last month and

appeared on air numerous times, quote: prosecutors decided to conceal some evidence from the investigators. i had seen an undeniable pattern of preferential treatment and obstruction of the normal investigative process. now, the top democrat on the house oversight committee jamie raskin says he isn't buying it, quote. the only political interference at play in this case is taking place right now with donald trump and our g.o.p. colleagues who continue their full-scale assault on the rule of law and our independent justice system. the chairman of the house oversight committee james comer disagrees to put it mildly. >> who is the person that ultimately determines whether or not crimes were committed in the government? that would be what whistleblower x did. we couldn't have a more credible witness. he has won every award that the irs has ever presented to employees. >> has the backing of house speaker kevin mccarthy who is eeagerly awaiting the testimony from the two whistleblowers this afternoon. >> the number one thing we want

to do is actually bring justice. time and again, we have shown the american public that if you are biden inc. family, you are treated different than the rest of america. that will not stand. >> and reminder hunter biden's first court date is set for next week for his plea deal on two misdemeanor tax avoidance counts and that felony gun charge. guys? >> steve: lucas, real quick question. so we know there is going to be testimony and you said the whistleblower. we are going to see the two whistleblowers and the identity of the second one is going to be revealed. is it going to be on tv? >> it will be on tv. tune in at 1:00 p.m. eastern, steve. >> steve: right here on fox news channel. i have a feeling we are going to have it, the perry mason moment. >> stay tuned. >> ainsley: what made him want to come forward and reveal his identity? some were worried about backlash and futures. >> steve: retribution. >> i think he felt a moral obligation, ainsley. >> steve: lucas, thank you very much. a live report. so you have got this 13-year

career special agent says this guy should have been charged with a felony and apparently he also says that there is evidence that joe biden himself knew about his son's overseas business dealings despite the fact that joe biden has said that is not true. listen, there are so many discrepancies about what these whistleblowers are saying and what we are hearing from people in the department of justice, it's going to be great to finally have them in the hot seat and they can clear the air. >> >> ainsley: well, they are citing the i text messages betwn hunter biden my dad is sitting right here you need to get this deal done tonight, if not, there will be consequences. that's why these whistleblowers are saying they think it was slow walked and they think that president biden was more involved and knew about hunter biden's business dealings based on those communications. >> brian: hunter biden is not an internationally known lauded

lawyer. what skill. >> ainsley: no experience in energy. >> brian: what experience does he have? >> ainsley: he admitted in that interview with abc that he doesn't have any experience. >> steve: he is an artist. evidence is not a gas guy. >> brian: he wasn't an artist yet he was dabbling or blowing into a straw wondering if he could make some money in the future. when he was at burisma he wasn't an artist. he was an energy executive who was once on the board of amtrak. so, if he is going around doing these deals, you have to wonder what the product is the product is his dad's influence and bigger question is not a guy who was addicted. this is a guy doing international business deal at the highest level. they are required, i imagine, concentration, even to do a bad deal. usually when people get addicted to drugs they end up outside on the street. and you watch them decline. he did decline. we see the video. we have seen the laptop. we also see him doing deals with romania, helping out moscow -- a former moscow mayor.

we see him as a burisma board member. we see him doing deals in china. we see the execution. so, there's a disconnect there between -- i'm not saying he didn't have a substance abuse problem, but there was a lot going on there and it seems like jamie raskin wants to say they are obsessed with hunter biden. what he really knows, i imagine is, how it relates to joe. and he is the product. and one of these things happened when he was vice president. ainsley: we are going to have congressman jim jordan and byron donalds coming up at 7:20. they will be reacting to this. in the mean time watched it it was a massive crowd. when i watched that show i thought whitehouse. whoa. stacked to the rafters. he asked him about yesterday's news. that was that a third indictment has come down. jack smith has sent him a letter the special counsel informing him that he is a target. he sent him that target letter

that usually signifies an indictment is coming to give him fair notice. what are the charges that he faces? he talked about getting that letter on a sunday night. how this is a witch-hunt and all about elections interference and weaponization of law enforcement. listen. >> i got the letter on sunday night, think of it. i don't think they have ever sent a letter on sunday night. and they were rushed because they want to interfere. it's never been done like this in the history of our country and it's a disgrace. what's happening to our country, whether it's t borders or elections or kinds of things like this where the doj has become a weapon for the democrats an absolute weapon it. seems that every time my polls -- you know, we are leading by a lot. we are leading in a lot by place called iowa, a lot. [. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] >> not only with republicans but leading against biden by a tremendous amount. they haven't seen anything like it. and they feel, i guess, they want to try to demean and finish

and frighten people, but they don't frighten us, because we are going to make america great again. >> steve: one of the other things that president trump said on truth social regarding this target letter is he had, as of sunday, four days to appear before the grand jury. so if the president wanted to go and talk to the grand jury that jack smith has assembled, he's got -- if the meter started on sunday, probably until tomorrow or the next day as well. >> ainsley: does he have a choice? does he have to go in front of the grand jury? >> steve: absolutely not. that he was going to be his choice. apparently, according to sources who have spoken to abc, the letter mentions three federal statutes. what it is alleged, probably will be that jack smith says the president, former president committed conspiracy to defraud the united states. deprivation of rights under color of law as one statute is known, and witness tampering. so, no other details in the letter does not say whether

trump may have actually violated the statutes but it does talk about those three laws. and one other thing about the target letter, the former president, as soon as it came out, started fundraising off it. >> brian: so $10 million was made off the alvin bragg indictment. $6 million after the jack smith mar-a-lago indictment. how much will he make now? he is already the frontrunner in money in the polls, even though new hampshire is tightening a little bit. iowa, which he didn't win in 2016, he has got a substantial lead. i thought ari fleischer had the best point. he said, listen, if you think that it is a problem or when you protest an election and you think an election is illegitimate, then you really have a problem with sherrod brown of ohio and cory booker of new jersey he said stacey abrams is a legitimate governor of georgia. he said you should have a huge problem with hakeem jeffries because he says that donald trump was not a legitimate winner of the 2016 election. and i don't think hillary clinton, outside the consolation

call ever said that donald trump legitimately won the election. of the question is what was done behind the scenes? we watched those january 6th hearings. because we did this show. it was -- it was a show. it was not a trial. it was -- and you saw this. they are going to assess that he plotted and planned and choreographed the january 6th overturning the election and storming of the capitol. even the january 6th committee didn't say that so jack smith, again, has got to say to himself this is going to be worth it, to go ahead and prosecute him on january 6th and mar-a-lago. but the other drama took place in florida where both sides were saying their case about delaying the mar-a-lago documents. in that case jack smith said i want to see this in december. the defense told aileen cannon appointed by donald trump i don't want to see you in september. we are not ready for it. we haven't 150e8d this document yet. i will never be ready for it. so this election is coming up in

2024. let's do it in november of 2024. that's going to be a key when this stuff is going to be taking place. because you know alvin bragg is going to be going in february. >> trump's lawyers are asking for after the election then. >> absolutely. it sounds like from what we have seen and what lawyers have said to the press behind the scenes and stuff like that, it sounds like it's more than just protesting that he lost the election. if sounds like they have assembled evidence about tactics that the former president used to try to hold on to power after he lost in 2020. assembling slates of so-called fake electors from swing states that the president had at that point lost. pressured state officials to block or delay joe biden's win and, of course, famously, on january 6th, tried to persuade the vice president not to certify the election results in the electoral college. that's just some of the stuff that could be involved. remember. >> brian: we know all of that. >> steve: all we know for sure is according to the source at abc, there are three federal statutes. would he don't know exactly the

evidence, we just know that that is the case that has been levied against him in the past. >> brian: jack smith loves to overcharge and fail spectacularly like he did with edwards and senator menendez. >> ainsley: yesterday, twitter was blowing up because of something that a few anchors said on cnn yesterday. jack smith apparently goes to the subway sandwich shop to get lunch. they analyze what that means and they connect it to trump. listen. >> this is new video that we have just been getting to cnn, special counsel jack smith getting lunch at subway, spotted on this historic day coming out of a washington, d.c. subway. >> jack smith going to subway today is a message to donald trump. that was jack smith with no words and a simple $5 subin his hand saying i'm here i'm not going anywhere. >> imagery was intentional and spoke volume. >> brian: is the imagery that he likes fast food? he sandwich artist. ever watch the subway people put

it together pull away the paper in between the slices. >> ainsley: historic day. no this is called everyday for donald trump. >> brian: called a quick lunch. >> steve: i think there was probably a camera crew out front. hey, there's the guy where is he going? went over to subway. would could you imagine had jack smith used a coupon. >> ainsley: jack smith has to eat lunch a lawyer from nancy pelosi's office erika sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich. huian sanchez pretty sure the message is he wanted a sandwich. >> steve: what if he had gone to taco bell yesterday on taco tuesday. what would that mean? [i [dragnet soundbite] >> steve: with are is your team of investigators. >> brian: we don't understand anything that's going on in the document case with biden. we don't have even a good story

to say there was nothing in delaware, there was nothing in the corvette. nothing substantial at his lawyer's office. nothing substantial in chinatown. you don't hear anything. >> steve: well, that's why today and you will see it right here on fox at 1:00 in the afternoon the whistleblowers are going to be on. what do they have to say about hunter biden? stay tuned. >> ainsley: when do we get the new ratings that show how this is going to effect donald trump's campaign? because we have seen it in the last two indictments whether it was in new york and then when it was in mar-a-lago, down in florida. we saw his ratings went up. >> steve: i'm sure that truth social later today he is going to say how much money, brian, you brought that up. how much money he has been able to fund raise off of this second indictment from jack smith because as soon as it came out, next thing you know, hey, double tiered system, you got to help me, you know, legal defense. let's go. >> brian: other thing in the script is he has got to go in and do the perp walk. >> steve: gets arrested. >> brian: got to come back and give a speech and then at the end of that then we will have

the tally. >> ainsley: still ahead, democrats divided on israel as the house overwhelmingly passes a resolution backing israel. but far left progressives didn't vote for it. israel's former ambassador to the u.n. reacts to that next. >> steve: plus, this is quite a story, a tiktok user says kim kardashian's product saved her life. >> the night i got shot under my dress i was wearing a skin shaping body suit it was so tight on me that it literally kept me from bleeding out. >> steve: after she was shot. the shape wear survival story you can't miss. you are watching "fox & friends" live on on this wednesday. look who else is coming up. i wonder how many of them will eat at subway. ♪ sunrise, sun burn, sun set,

that prime minister netanyahu will come to washington and meet with the president. we have so many issues to discuss. the threats of iran, global issue that we have to walk together and fight evil i think it's about time do that. maybe he is not happy with the coalition in israel. you should respect our democracy. the bond between even the u.s. sundays like our president joe biden does not like the conservative government of mr. netanyahu, and he has said, regarding the conservative government, it's the most extreme in his lifetime, biden said, and declared it is part of the problem of the israeli-palestinian conflict. >> well, i think we expect our allies to respect the results of the election in israel. president netanyahu and president biden have known each

scenario. >> ainsley: teachers in school districts have been pushing to teach children about gender ideology. next guest claims gender ideology isn't kids stuff. saying quote many develop at own pace many aren't psychologically ready to discuss or think about their identity. joining us now clinical social worker and guidance expert erika come caesar. good morning, erika. >> good morning. >> >> ainsley: i read your what ages are we talking about. >> add preadolescents around 9. kids are being taught these things as early as preschool now into kindergarten and first grade. it's just too early for them. they are not really equipped developmentally to be thinking about their identity in this way or gender, specifically. yeah. so it's just too early. >> ainsley: i mean, if you look at the largest teacher's union, the national education

association, they are really pushing this. they are introducing books that cover these topics. they are releasing tool kits about sexual orientation and gender identity for their teachers. they did that on june 7th. they are recommending that our teachers teach this at an early age. what are the dangers there? >> well, with any subject matter that's difficult or complicated, whether it's sex or death or gender or first it's usually better if parents teach their children these things. and the rule is, really, that you wait for the child to show interest or curiosity and ask questions. >> ainsley: right. >> it means they are more developmentally ready even then you wait succinctly and wait for more questions. the way they are teaching it is teaching indoctrinating way. >> >> ainsley: we hear this in new york city. it's a very as you know liberal city. out of the several people i know

that is going through this as families with their children, two out of probably the five, their children said they wanted to be a different sex and then years later, a few years later, they want to go back to their original sex. how common is that? >> you know, children are developing. it means that there is a kind of volatility in terms of -- and a fluidity in terms of their identity. so the idea that their identity is fixed at such a young age. even when it comes to early adolescents. kids 11 years old they are allowing to take pursuant blockers. those kids' identity is still quite fluid and it could change. and so you are making permanent body changes to-that carry risks to children that are really just very young and whose personalities are really still quite unformed. >> ainsley: it's definitely a conversation we are going to continue to have as a country. some people are completely against it. some parents i have heard the argument we don't want our children to feel isolated and bullied and we don't want our children to commit suicide and

not be welcomed so we are having open conversations in our house. some are saying it's just too young and down in florida teachers are not allowed to discuss this before fifth grade. so, we all have different opinions on it. it's a tough topic, right? >> we have to be able to be council passionate for individual children. i think the idea is how much do we want to expose the majority of children to many of these ideas in detail. i think you can explain to children that children, individual children are struggling and, you know, are wanting to call themselves sue instead of jack and that's their nickname. i think there is ways to do it compassionately without necessarily overwhelming children. as i said, even when children come to you with difficult subject matter, you're only answering them very succinctly and to the questions that they ask. you are not really providing them with more information than they need and that's really

what's going on. >> ainsley: erika, you are a wonderful guest. thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> ainsley: you are welcome. coming up, who is whistleblower x? and what do they know about hunter biden? we will find out in just hours in a highly anticipated hearing. congressman jim jordan and byron donalds join us live with a preview. and trump sounding off after learning of another potential indictment over his handling of january 6th. >> i didn't know practically what a subpoena was and grand juries and all of this now i'm like becoming an expert. i have no choice because it's a disgrace. >> kimberley strassel says they better have the goods if they pursue this unprecedented indictment. and she is next. there she is n our green room a that briannd says is green i gs with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn't care. because no matter how healthy you feel, your risk of shingles sharply increases after age 50. but shingrix protects.

♪ >> brian practically what a subpoena was and grand juries and all of this. now i'm, like, becoming an experts. i have no choice because we have to. it's a disgrace. >> brian: there you go. former president donald trump says he expects to be arrested again. this time as a target in the special counsel investigation into -- drum roll, please -- january 6th. adding to the list of several investigations he already faces. kimberley strassel chronicles it all. you were on with me monday on radio. tuesday out of nowhere trump

says hey, i got a target letter. i'm going to be indicted again. what do you think this means? does this surprise you? >> no. it didn't surprise me because we have had so many reports saying that jack smith wasn't done yet. and this is actually, if you think about it, what they have been gunning for him from the start, ever since january 6th happened and that second impeachment happened. we know he has received a lot of evidence and testimony on this particular subject. and now it looks as though he is going to move ahead. >> brian: what do you think it means for the race? >> well, i think one question is going to be whether or not this judge in the case moves the case beyond the election. you know, we're going to have that big hearing here soon, and the trump team has already asked that they move this beyond the election. they're going to do everything they can to put it aside. but now we're going to have these additional charges. do they get moved up? does he have the same grounds by which he can ask to have it be delayed to get ready? we don't know. >> brian: what's interesting is, too, he dominates the news

cycle. indictment is never good. but, everybody is now asked about donald trump. >> right. >> brian: ron desantis in an interview on another network gets interrupted because of donald trump target letter. i'm not sure that wasn't timed. let's talk about your book. it's excellent. it's called the "the biden malaise" now on sale. talks about joe biden and how similar his run is to jimmy carter who famously had the malaise speech. we didn't have the word but that's the tone. >> this is fun it. makes a comparison between the biden years and carter years. outwardly so many similarities, inflation, crime, gas prices, foreign policy debacles. but it makes a case that when you really dig into these two guys, it's very different and unfair comparison to jimmy carter. >> brian: who was a nuclear scientist and a veteran. >> and who inherited a lot of problems and didn't necessarily always know what he was doing. whereas biden inherited a pretty good hand, an economy that was rolling back from covid, you

know, a lot of other advantages. and low gas prices, low inflation. he also had lived through the carter years. so he knew what mistakes not to make. and so the book is making the distinction between the two, between sort of incompetence n. and a president that meant well and didn't know what he was doing and a president who very deliberately did what he did. >> brian: if it wasn't for jimmy carter you don't get ronald reagan. a lot of people are saying what's next is the past prologue? >> the book also makes the case that this is a big moment for both parties. the backlash to jimmy carter and ronald reagan changed electoral politics in america for a generation. there's a backlash building to joe biden as well and these policies he has. will the republican party realize that? can they move beyond some of the drama and really focus on biden's record? >> interesting. but the one similarity which is kind of a reach but not really is rfk is challenging a sitting

president. >> yeah. another kennedy. >> brian: ted kennedy was challenging jimmy carter. >> that's right. exactly. and, of course, ted kennedy failed. i'm still amazed that there isn't another candidate who has stepped up to challenge joe biden because, again, the historical comparison. he is in a much weaker place than jimmy carter ever was. >> brian: 70% of the american people do not want joe biden to run again. if that isn't a green light to ambitious governors and senators, i don't know what is. well, congratulations on doing it? >> thank you so much. >> brian: doing a column up in alaska. and i appreciate you coming. >> in thanks, brian. appreciate it. >> brian: meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, white house press secretary karine jean-pierre justifying joe biden's latest student loan push. borrowers are owed relief. >> these are borrowers been making payments for decades. these borrowers are owed this relief. >> brian: okay, really? stuart varney totally disagrees. he is fired up. but he is always fired up. the white house is doing serious
