>> stevere information about this game go to tech teq shop.us. >> bill: love that. good morning, everybody. out of the shadows into the bright lights of d.c. two i.r.s. whistleblowers will give their first public testimony on how the d.o.j. blocked them from investigating the bidens. this covers a lot of years as we say good morning. dana has the day off today. i'm bill hemmer live in new york. back by popular demand apparently. >> sandra: thank you for having me back. good to be here. i'm sandra smith and this is "america's newsroom." a lot to get to in an undeniable pattern of preferential

treatment is what officials say about the investigation of hunter biden. the d.o.j. stonewalled them at every turn and scheduled to tell congress about it at 1:00 p.m. eastern time today. >> bill: house republicans touting this hearing as a proverb ottal point. we're about to find out together. they have had a hard time explaining biden's tangled web of business deals and they're extensive. this hearing could provide the starkest evidence we've heard yet. >> sandra: chad pergram, what are the expectations? >> good morning. this could be the most consequential hearing in the biden investigation. we hear from two whistleblowers. gary shapley is a known quantity to investigators. they've talked to him a couple of times over the past few weeks and whistleblower x. we'll learn his identity during the hearing. i talked to james comer the chairman of the oversight

committee this morning and he doesn't even know the name of the person who will be testifying. he has a name for both of these witnesses. >> this is the a-team with the i.r.s. these two guys have stellar records. they've never blown the whistle on anything else. they're very concerned that they feel that their investigation was obstructed and that there were many crimes that have been committed. >> the anonymous whistleblower will testify that hunter biden should have faced felony charges, not a misdemeanor tax charge. the whistleblowers will say prosecutors did not follow usual procedures because they were dealing with the bidens. >> we were conducting investigation of hunter biden and we were trying to follow the normal process. there were deaf niftily hindrances that i have never seen before in my 14 years concerning this investigation that didn't allow us to follow

through on investigation of any other individuals including president biden. >> democrats did little to defend the bidens, only undercut the witnesses. >> when is the government employee the a-team and part of the deep state? i can't tell. now that they found some people who want to tell us exactly what comer wants to hear, these are -- this is the a-team. it is a joke, come on. >> the unidentified whistleblower says david weiss, the u.s. attorney for delaware was ham strung and marginalized in his investigations and gave special treatment to hunter biden. they are starting later today because the president of israel is appearing for a joint meeting of congress this morning and we expect the hearing to drift into the evening. >> sandra: we'll cover every minute of it. chad, thanks for the setup. >> bill: thank you.

want to show our viewers the series of events that have happened. let's start when the house went republican last fall. november of last year, james comer vows to carry out this hunter probe. in march of this year, the a.g. garland vows not to interfere. about a month later the whistleblower makes the claims of the mishandling of the investigation that we will hear more about that. same month, april, hunter's attorney meets with federal prosecutors. you have the plea deal that happened just about a month ago. by the way, a week from now hunter biden is going to be in court and we'll watch that together. now let's take you back to november of 2018. this is an important timeline to understand. that's when the i.r.s. opened up the investigation into this pornography shop and then about a year later, the f.b.i. learned of hunter biden's laptop.

weeks later, the f.b.i. confirms they've got it. then weeks after that the f.b.i. takes possession of it. then it was about ten months after that, october of 2020, when the 51 intel agents declared the laptop as russian disinformation, which we all know was 2 or 3 weeks prior to the election of 2020. so that's the framework that we're working now based on the timeline. >> sandra: adding to that the whistleblower didn't want their name out there but became so upset over democrats, including jamie raskin, mischaracterizing their integrity they decided to come forward with their identity. to give you an idea of the rolling back of the curtain we'll see this afternoon. >> bill: this is the foreign for the i.r.s. whistleblower for gary shapley. you heard the democratic lawmaker questioning about the whole claim about the a-team.

james comer gave these two witnesses that title. if he is right, how are they the a-team on the inside of the i.r.s.? >> these are extremely credible investigators. gary is the superviseor of a unit of 12 elite agents around the country to investigate into national tax crimes. the other whistleblower whose identity will be revealed today. a case agent for the hunter biden case. i spoke with both individuals. obviously they just are very, very professional and credible and excited for the american public to see that. it will become evident these are the folks the i.r.s. put at the tip of the spear to find international conspiracies. >> sandra: they say let the whistleblowers do the talking. what should they be asked this afternoon? >> well, the thing that will be

most helpful is for them to just gauge the credibility of these individuals. gary and the other whistleblower brought a lot of information forward in their interviews with the house ways and means committee that committee voted to release. since then attorney general garland has said attorney david weiss had all the authority he needed. weiss has written three letters, one before the whistleblower testimony and two after which his story is evolving. he changed it to try to match the facts the whistleblowers have released. for a lot of the american public it looks as though someone is not telling the truth in all this. that's a fair question. they can see these guys today and judge for themselves. i hope members of congress will probe in ways to allow the public to figure out how credible they are. >> bill: jim jordan said this earlier today. >> in the case throughout the case both the whistleblowers testimony said yes, we should get the search warrant and

interview witnesses. they were a full go. we have probable cause and move forward. suddenly it changes near the end. that i think is the key issue. >> bill: that was jim jordan. here is an excerpt from this whistleblower called whistleblower x is prepared to say today. hunter biden should have been charged with a tax felony and not only the tax misdemeanor charge prosecutors slow walked the investigation and put in place unnecessary approvals and roadblocks from effectively and efficiently investigating the case. hunter biden will be before a judge one week from today. and plead guilty to these two misdemeanor charges here. will anything today change his appearance in seven days in that courtroom? >> there is no way for us to know. i think it's important to note the whistleblowers' goal in coming forward wasn't to change the outcome necessarily for any given individuals' sentencing.

what they can speak to is that clearly the prosecutors, not only the investigators but the prosecutors, delaware attorney office and d.o.j. tax division recommended multiple felonies against hunter biden. those have washed away. they want to explain to the american people why we ended up where we are today. >> sandra: the media coverage of all this has been something. lacking in some cases. james comer said i think these two people will have some insight, the whistleblowers and maybe they can answer some questions for a confused media out there. do you think they will be listening? >> i hope so. i hope so. you know, one of the things that, you know, most media outlets pay attention to is when the attorney general speaks up on something, they've covered what attorney weiss has had to say. it really is on them to give this equal time to what the

whistleblowers have said and to seriously examine the evidence they brought for you. just repeating what u.s. attorney weiss has said without looking at the evidence on the other side is doing a disservice to the american people. >> bill: you represent gary shapley. a few more questions on whistleblower x. is it a man or woman? >> it's a man. >> bill: age? >> i don't know precisely. i probably better not get into it. he is impressive. >> bill: how many years at the i.r.s.? >> it is not quite as as gary, the supervisor, someone well respected and handled significant cases and somebody who again just hearing him you can tell how thorough and credible and professional he is. >> bill: why did he decide now is the time to go public? >> gary's red line unlike whistleblower x was back in october when attorney weiss said he wasn't the deciding official for hunter biden.

what whistleblower x has said it wasn't until the u.s. attorney's office in delaware took gary and his team, including the whistleblower x off the case that for him really that was the red line saying why would we be taken off this case? whistleblower x investigated the charges for five years and the main key person all along. now a new team of i.r.s. individuals with no experience in the case have been assigned and the ones who will be there for the plea proceedings. similarly d.o.j. did that with its own prosecutorial team. the people who have been on it for this time have been taken off and brand-new people are assigned here who don't even, you know, have any background in it. it was a pivotal moment for whistleblower x. >> sandra: 1:00 p.m. eastern time today the identity of him will be revealed. six hours, we're told. does that manage your expectations this will go? opening statements by the

whistleblowers? >> yeah, they will both make opening statements. >> bill: thank you, tristan. i know what sandra will be doing at 1:00. you may be right about the question about the amount of coverage. you'll see it here on fox. will the others give it attention? we'll find out then, right? >> sandra: they've been covering the claims the whistleblowers have made. will they be substantiated. that could be the case if it will be covered. >> bill: you have a dollar in your pocket? >> we're leading by a lot in a place called iowa, a lot. not only with the republicans but we're leading against biden by a tremendous amount. >> bill: pretty good crowd in cedar rapids, iowa. the former president sounding confident with sean hannity. some of his opponents might be gaining on him in a key primary state. we'll talk about that coming up. >> sandra: new details on the case against the suspected gilgo

>> bill: 18 past the hour now. breaking news in new york her. a 15-year-old boy after being guned down in broad daylight outside of a high school in brooklyn. he was an innocent bystander. it started after an argument between two students during summer school. suspected shooter was only 17. officers still looking to find him and arrest him. he is the latest of five teenagers to be shot in less than 12 hours across new york city. wow. >> sandra: illinois will be the first state in the nation to eliminate cash bail in criminal cases. critics are calling it a risk to public safety. supporters say cash bail is a penalty on poverty. mike tobin is live in chicago and he has what may be coming next.

we've been covering it in the city for quite some time. what does it mean statewide? >> it means statewide starting mid-december criminal defendants will no longer need to post bail to walk free before trial. in a 5-2 decision the liberal illinois supreme court upheld a provision of the safe t act, a sweeping overhaul of the criminal justice system. it makes illinois the first state in the nation to eliminate cash bail. proponents say judges have discretion to hold defendants considered to be flight risks ordaininger to the community. defendants in lower level crimes won't be stuck in jail because of not having money. 60 sheriffs and state attorneys brought suit. they say it violates the rights of victims by letting offenders on the street. police union says the decision harms people in the poor minority communities the most. >> still doesn't change the safety issues within those neighborhoods. when you put these offenders

back out on the street, all they are going to do the terrorize the same neighborhoods that are consistently the violent drivers within the statistics. >> democrat illinois governor pritzker is a champion for the safety act. he said pre-trial detainment will be determined by the danger an individual poses to the community instead of their ability to pay their way out of jail. violence in chicago was light by chicago standards last night. only four people shot. over the weekend 40 people shot, four murdered, one was a stabbing. >> sandra: that is unbelievable and almost every week i'm reporting on those kind of numbers. mike, thank you. >> bill: also we've got the 48-hour disappearance of an alabama woman as police are scratching their heads. they now say there is no evidence of a toddler walking on the highway where carley russell was last seen before the incident. police say surveillance video

shows russell was walking on a sidewalk alone before she returned home. she was then taken to the hospital for evaluation and her family maintains, however, that she was abducted. that mystery continues today. >> 2024 is the most important election that we have ever had. my polls, we're leading by a lot. not only with the republicans but leading against biden by a tremendous amount. >> sandra: donald trump emphasizing the most important election and new polling shows his support may be shrinking in new hampshire, a key primary state. florida governor ron desantis is on trump narrowing it from 20 points in april to 15 points today. "wall street journal" assistant editor james freeman on that. i believe it's 14 points, okay. but nonetheless, we are

crunching the numbers in the commercial break. the lead there is narrowing. what does that tell you? >> this is a race. a lot of people in our industry have been trying to write the obituary for the desantis campaign and a sign he is feared by what you might call the liberal media establishment. so i think you are seeing this in a number of polls in iowa and new hampshire. wherever trump is below 50 and in this case far below 50, if you are desantis you are thinking once this field thins out a little, all those people who are supporting all those other candidates and they aren't supporting many of them in great numbers, those are probably desantis votes. once those other people drop out. >> bill: here is where desantis can do himself some good. that is at our debate on august 23rd, if he is on stage and performs well, maybe those

numbers get tighter. >> trump can hurt himself by not showing up not just to the fox one but all of them. especially in those early states, this is a big deal every four years. it is -- we've been talking on the democratic side. people in new hampshire and iowa don't want the democratic machine to take away their first in the nation status. people want to be able to vet the candidates. part of that is watching them go toe-to-toe with the opponents and seeing how they perform under fire. trump has experience and know what he does as president. they certainly want to see him take on the challengers here. >> bill: trump took off in new hampshire. here were the results. 35% for trump. that state was all purple and the color we used for trump in 2016. >> kasich is -- you don't want

to blame anyone in particular. you might credit him. his decision to stay in long after the issue was decided is one of the reasons trump became president. and so i think if you are desantis, a lot of this is going to be not just persuading voters but continue to be the clear number two it's persuading the others to get out when they aren't performing well. >> sandra: what do you see is the biggest winning issue for desantis on the debate stage if it will be a make or break moment? >> the covid history is important. as president, trump, he never liked the lockdowns. he soured on them early. but he never took the decisive action to say we're opening up and to fire people like anthony fauci. the problem is even when trump was saying i don't like these lockdowns, was discouraging it. he left in place fauci and other

experts who were used by politicians across the country to keep schools closed. they would refer to the authority of anthony fauci. that did enormous damage. desantis, with a very principled and thorough and really gutsy response to covid say we have to live and protect the vulnerable but we need to let people thrive is a good issue. >> bill: we're not paying wuhan anymore. u.s. tax dollars haven't gone to the wuhan institute since 2020. about time. >> wheels of government turn slowly. here we are in 2023. as i read it, it doesn't rule out future funding but says for now we aren't going to fund this lab which -- >> bill: we have work to do. >> this is a priority for the government? i would say no. i think you don't just call joe biden. but bernie sanders runs the health committee in the senate talking about how much he cares

about healthcare. this was the healthcare issue and what has he done to push the investigation of wuhan forward? >> bill: i sense a column soon about james. >> i'll work on it. >> bill: the president of israel is about to have a moment in washington. a major address before a joint meeting of congress. the protests from the left are only getting louder. florida senator marco rubio is here on that coming up. plus a mother as plea for her son to come home. the latest developments in this strange story about a u.s. soldier now being held in north korea.

disobeying orders but he bolted from the airport after drop-off and then went on a tour in civilian clothing of the dmz. greg palkot has the latest details we're learning about that moment now, greg. >> very strange, yes, you're right. new details and reactions about this story about the u.s. soldier basically going against the usual traffic, going from south korea to north korea across the dmz. u.s. army private travis king was on a guided tour of the joint security area on the border when he made a break for it into north korean territory. according to the pentagon it is not allowed and being detained by the north. they're trying to get him out. the 23-year-old might have wanted to defect. he was on his way back to the states to face the music when he snuck out of the airport. he is fined for damaging a south korean police car and spent time

unique it is surrounded by enemies looking for cues to see if israel has the support of the united states. if israel gets into a conflict it will require u.s. assistance to help resupply them because they could be exhausted in munitions and constantly looking to see is there an opening or break on crevice. we have to be very careful policymakers in the white house and the way biden treats netanyahu or members of congress talk about israel. there are things we cannot say about israel publicly we would say about other countries because it encourages islamic jihad, hezbollah, all their enemies to try to attack israel. >> bill: you know many of these progressive lawmakers have taken the side of the palestinians and congresswoman jayapal said saturday israel is a racist state and later put out a statement, some called it an apology or a clarification. she said i don't believe the idea of israel as a nation is

racist. i do, however, believe that netanyahu's extreme right government is engaged in discrime nair and outright racist policies and racists driving that policy within the leadership of the current government. is that a clarification or apology in any sense to you see? >> no, no, look. no. israel is a jewish state. it is created to be the homeland for the jewish people. the world created israel. united nations started them and attacked from day one after being founded. it is a homeland for the jewish people after the holocaust to make sure something like that never happened again. it has to protect that identity. if they followed some of the policies people on the radical left like that congresswoman and others want they would cease to be a jewish state. simple as that. there are still people alive who survived the holocaust that wasn't that long ago. anti semitism has cost the lives

of millions of people. one of the true atrocities of human history. preserve identity as the jewish state is the reason for existing for israel and supportive of that. people in american politics some are not. >> bill: herzog will be there at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. this is the address given on behalf of the u.s. president. just want our viewers to listen to this now. >> president biden: we brought israel and palestinians together at a political level and -- and as i affirmed to prime minister netanyahu yesterday, america's commitment to israel is firm. >> bill: i don't know how forcefully you consider that. i know you are a big football fan and you like a good head coach to give a good speech. that was far from it. >> i don't know what he said.

i hope it was captioned. i couldn't hear him. >> bill: the one thing he said as i confirmed to prime minister netanyahu yesterday, america's commitment to israel is firm. the reason why that's important is that some are wondering about his commitment to netanyahu. continue. >> well, so when is he coming to the white house? when will he be treated the way we treat the prime ministers of other countries? we had the leftist president of the columbia and brazil at the white house. so when is he going to be treated the same way and given that? words are words. to the extent israel's enemies could understand what biden is saying they'll look at actions. the clear perception around the world particularly in the middle east, this administration has problems with netanyahu's government. >> bill: we'll watch for that address at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. 75th anniversary for israel now being celebrated. check this out. roll it here.

condition. let's bring in dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine and fox news contributor. everyone at home now is thinking of an instance they have had where doctors have a hard time diagnosing them, they try to search for symptoms on their own to try to narrow it down. but this research basically says about 800,000 americans become permanently disabled or die across care settings because of these misdiagnoses and they say just about 15 diseases account for all serious harms. so why are so many going misdiagnosed? >> very important topic, sandra. good morning. it is a lot more than 800,000 when you talk about misdiagnoses that don't lead to disabilities or death but just lead to harm. let me tell you the issue here. back in 1977, lee goldman from harvard came up with a goldman criteria for diagnosing heart disease. why does it matter around

surgery? how old are you, do you have family history? it changed aridology. only one hen 5% of those misdiagnoses were around heart disease. 40% were stroke, pneumonia, blood clots. let me tell you why i differentiate. all of those things have something in common. symptoms can be vague. we're on the lookout for heart problems. if a patient is not feeling right or fatigued, especially women have atypical symptoms of heart disease. we're on the lookout for it since the 70s. with stroke we're not. we're looking for somebody suddenly getting weak or can't speak. it could be i don't feel like myself. you go to emergency room. see a physician's assistant. not an attending physician. we have stroke teams at all the major medical centers but not in rural areas. we don't have enough in the inner cities and don't necessarily respond fast enough. again, we can see the classic

symptoms of pneumonia or a blood clot or stroke but we tend to miss the subtle stuff but we don't do it with heart disease. we are focusing on artificial intelligence on the network, which is smart. a.i. can help in this situation. it can be a tool to be on the lock-out for some of this and inform the physician. >> sandra: the study concludes that because 15 diseases account for half of all serious harms, dr. siegel, the problem may be more trackable than previously imagined. to your point, what can we do, then, knowing this is such a problem, better diagnose people? how do we help ourselves and the medical community help us? >> we have brusher up courses in the medical community. it's a huge wake-up call. hats off to the johns hopkins center for this. hats off that we have to look at things we actually see, not some
