the facts as i have stated them, ask yourself if you would do the exact same thing. >> brooke: despite evidence brought forward by whistleblowers, democrats stepped in to defend the bidens. >> we are not here because facts brought us here. we are here today because donald trump is exerting influence campaign. >> i know the american people are confused because we are all confused what we're doing here. nothing this majority claimed about the president or his family has merit. like every other try to by our colleague to concoct and i scandal about president biden this is a complete and total bust. >> brooke: hunter biden is set to plead guilty next week in a plea deal. >> carley: big day on capitol hill. ziegler claimed hunter biden claimed deductions on sex club

>> if people don't have a choice, they make a choice. that is what is great about america, you can come over here and not held by by what establishment want you to do. >> todd: how should people tap into disenchantment with the current two-party system? >> they are tired of the same old, same old. they want a choice and want doers and fighters in the legislative branch and executive branch. they want people who have gotten out there and done something, scientists, doctors, engineers and entrepreneurs. we want people who will fight for us, not bureaucrats or career politicians. >> carley: this no poll is good news for no labels organization, they are looking into hosting a third-party candidate. joe manchin spoke this week.

people wonder if he will throw his hat into the ring as an independent. take a listen to what he had to say. >> the ongz option is, can you move -- they have gone too far right and too far left, if they have another option, that is trouble. if i get in a race, i'm going to win. >> carley: democrats are furious, they say if he does run, they will pull votes from joe biden and ensure a donald trump presidency if he's the nominee. what do you think? >> the american people have a choice, that is what is amazing. they asked me to also run for u.s. senate in virginia, we want fighters in there. >> todd: here is your campaign commercial. take a look. >> our country has taken a dark turn, we are losing our country. you know it, you also know you

can't say it. we are forced to say wrong is right, we are forced to lie. we can't let that happen. >> todd: virginia, tim cane republican in 2016, why do you think you are the best person to defeat tim cane? >> tim cane is vulnerable, never won a race on his own, he rode on someone else's coattail. look back, what has tim kaine done for us? that is why he was not picked for obama's running mate in 2008, he really didn't achieve anything. he was pulled up by obama to be a senator and 2018, republican's worst year. >> carley: heck with the house and bring on the upper chamber. hung cao, thank you for joining us. thank you, go to hung for

daily mail about the juvenile crime wave. children are murdering children and you say it doubled over the past decade, why is this happen something >> it is spiralling out of control and ruining children's lives in cities across the nation. that is violent crime, in baltimore and philadelphia and tacoma, washington. hundreds of teens are jumping on buses and assaulting people in san francisco, gangs of kids with baseball bats and ski masks are attacks moms and dads with strollers. san francisco, chicago, baltimore and nor, there is no consequences for youth and it it is destroying lives. essentially making it okay for 16 and 17 year olds to carry illegal loaded firearms around

because 75% of violent cases go back to the street again and again and again with the message that there is no repercussions for carrying guns. >> carley: i think lawmakers that support legislation say they are trying to be compassionate and give children a second chance. there is also something for tough love. >> absolutely, reject the narrative not using the criminal justice system is not compassionate or racist, kids need us to use police, juvenile detention to keep them safe, they depend on us. >> carley: the number of news stories that come across, a shooting takes place and the gunman is a teen or groups of teens. yesterday a 15-year-old, aspiring mma fighter was shot

and killed because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, caught in cross fire and the funman was 17 years old. this is an example of how this breaks apart families that will never be the same. where are children getting the guns? >> unfortunately, it is not that hard to get an illegal gun. >> carley: an illegal gun, yeah. >> more and more kids are trying to get them. they report and a survey this past week, kids are more afraid of being killed by each other than going to jail. kids that would not be in criminalality are live nothing fear and it makes it hard to stud and he learn and develop. they need us. >> carley: kids need structure, they lost that, kids shut down, children felt lost and message they were receiving is they are

victims and the system is stacked against you. you should be angry and committing crime thachl is recipe for disaster. how do we fix this? >> they have challenges, math and reading scores are low, they have to contend with social pressure and media. the least we can say, say tenth and 11th graders and ninth graders won't have illegal weapons. we need to not -- to reverse decriminalization of low level offending and bad behavior and say there will be consequences, there need to be consequences, because children need to know there will be repercussions or they will behave badly. >> carley: absolutely, new york city alone, one in 10 gun violence victims is a minor or child. it is not just new york, it is across the country.

you shedding a light on it can be a good start. thank you for joining us. >> todd: if we don't have kids, what do we have? robert f. kennedy jr. heads to capitol hill today to testify about being censured by the biden administration. >> nothing i put on the internet was misinformation, that is not what we do in america. >> todd: democrats tried and failed to cancel his testimony. cheryl casone is here with a preview of the hearing. plus, ted cruz, this is not the wrong video, he is taking on the barbie movie on the eve of the big premiere, we'll tell you why. keep it right here on "fox and friends first."

weaponization of the federal government on censorship of americans. the hearing will examine the federal government role in censuring americans with without of control government agencies to silence heat. democrat wasserman schultz send a letter asking for mr. kennedy to be disinvited. they stated he is tarnished has credibility as a witness to spread baseless and discriminatory views. r.f.k. made comments covid was ethnically targeted. censuring somebody is not the answer. >> i was the first one the administration started

censuring, not for misinformation, it was just politically inconvenient and that is not what we do in america. >> cheryl: according to the quinnipiac poll, the current president is in the lead with 71%. >> carley: irs whistleblowers took to capitol hill revealing how protected president biden and his son were during the investigation while federal agents were being obstructed. >> it appeared to me, based on what i experienced, the u.s. attorney in delaware was hamstring, limited by doj officials and other u.s. attorneys. i still think that a special counsel is necessary for this investigation. >> prosecutors instructed investigators not to ask about the big guy or dad when conducting interviews. investigators were not allowed to follow-up on what's app

messages where hunter biden suggested he was sitting income to his father. >> todd: matt whitaker joins us now. to the layperson, this was eye-opening. you were the top lawyer in our country for a time, what stood out to you? >> yeah, several things, todd. good to be with you and carley this morning. i saw what was outlined consistent with what the two testified in sworn statements thchl is under oath, these people putting themselves out there, their careers on the line. what was done was this case was different than any other case and i was u.s. attorney for five years and did cases of this tenor all the time. hunter biden is getting extraordinary plea deal issue he's not having to testify or to talk to agents or investigators about his case. i've never seen that, with a

favorable plea deal, always a profer is made or debrief to be sure investigators understood the scope of the case. this case is so different and outside of the mainstream of the way the department of justice does cases. it should have been appointed to special counsel. it needs to continue to drill in to the details temperature is just so different than any other case. >> carley: what did you think about how democrats used their time. they didn't talk about the hunter biden case. counter argument was about racism and the irs, donald trump talked about george floyd, breonna taylor, talk about that. >> it guild back and forth between republican and democrat

questions. you just got a sense that the democrats don't understand the gravity of this situation. they don't want to see. one point in time, representative goldman elicitd that joe biden did talk about deals with his son and that is inconsistent with what the white house has been telling us for eternity since the laptop came on the scene. they were trying to score cheap political points and that is disappointing thing we see in house hearings. it just ends up becoming political back and forth and no new ground is plowed. the gravity of the situation together with earnestness of witnesses, the two witnesses are beyond approach, any time someone tried to undermine their position, it came off as cheap political theater. >> carley: a lot of republicans

say that if your last name is biden, you get special treatment, if your last name is trump, good luck. we put together five times the fbi treated hunter biden and donald trump differently. first trump versus hunter on search warrants, august of 2022, fbi raided mar-a-lago. for hunter, irs ready to move with search warrants, in septembers, top doj official shut down that for optics. trump special counsel jack interviewed dozens of witnesses and investigations, including trump family members. with biden, investigatorsed they were not going with an interview of joe biden, that is what prosecutors wanted. on attorney client privilege,

doj stripped privilege and doj considered e-mails where hunter's lawyers were copied was privileged information on lawyer cooperation for trump, lawyers worked with and invited agents to look into classified document cases and not given warning on the mar-a-lago raid. for hunter biden, they were warned and his defense team alerted about interest in the storage unit and the doj claims indictments were not politically motivated and for hunter, doj accused of dragging their feet on investigations two months before the 2020 election tlchl is a lot there, which republicans say constitutes two-tiered system of justice. >> that lays out in stark detail the contrast and the two-teared system of justice. hunter was given every benefit

and lawyers were tipped off before search warrant was executed at a seatorage unit. now we have investigators on the case saying that the hunter biden case, there was political influence and people putting their thumb on the scale thchl is not the way to do it in the united states of america. not the way we did it when i was u.s. attorney in the bush administration and not the way i did it when i was in the trump administration. merrick garland has a lot to account for, very clear that his past public statements are if anything they are not true, but i'll give him benefit of the doubt and suggest he needs to go revise his statement. clearly they are not standing the test of time. >> todd: democrats live in a

different world, they think there are two different systems of justice. one lucky powerball player in the golden state, california, is one million richer. million dollar ticket sold at minimarket near skid row. interesting. third largest jackpot with estimated cash value of $558 million, the winning numbers were 7, 13, 10, 24, 11, powerball number 24. yesterday's big winner being joined by seven lucky californians who matched five out of six numbers, players walk away with $450,000 each. >> carley: a lot of money. former california sheriff deputy beaten and shot while responded to a 911 call and it is caught on camera.

[shots fired] [screaming] >> todd: wow. megan mccarthey is in the video. she joins me now. when you look at that video, first thing i think, you are lucky to be alive. the suspect was found not guilty, how do you explain that? >> good morning, thank you for having me. i don't know how you explain that, i don't know how you can see video of a crime and allow this person to enter into a community. it is heartbreaking and

devastating for the people. >> todd: if you think that is emotional, look at this photo you took your daughter. what is going through your mind when you took this pth? >> my mom took that picture, i wasn't able to pick her up that day. this was the day after. i was just overwhelmed to see her and hug her. i felt guilt and emotion from my shooting. i was thankful to be home. >> todd: you blame defund the police movement for letting this guy off the hook on the serious charges, what do you mean by emotional bias. >> the bill was introduced and became law january 1 of this year and what the language of the bill states, if you have a

bias toward law enforcement, you are allowed to sit on a jury. we had many jurors who expressed bias toward law enforcement and still allowed to decide guilty or not guilty on my suspect. >> todd: do you think police officers can be treated fairly in the justice system so long as defund the police movement is in existence? >> i would like to think so, i would like to think the law enforcement has backing of the justice system. bills like california 3070, make it nearly impossible to have that. >> todd: when the da asked if you could give a victim impact statement, happens in almost every criminal case, the judge said, you were not a victim of any crime. what was going through your mind when that judge said that? >> i was heartbroken.

i spent nearly four years healing from this incidents, to be told, you don't get to speak and have the closure, that was knife in the back. i was hoping for closure, justice and peace and i never saw that. >> todd: let's be clear, you volunteer, granted, you get paid for this be jo, to put yourself in harm's way to encounter situations like that, knowing you could lose your life. you do that to protect your community and your daughter. when a judge -- what are you supposed to think about the system that you are fighting on a day in and day out basis to uphold? do you think the system is letting you down? >> i definitely believe that the justice system and the state of california let me down. nobody wakes up in the morning wanting to go to work to be

killed and never returned. you go to work, especially being a cop, to serve and protect the community. that is what i did that day and it was met with the video you see tomp say i'm not a victim and not worthy of closure is -- how can you tell people you are not worthy of being a victim. >> todd: thank you for what yu have done. country music television having a bud light moment? critics calling to boycott the network after it pulled jason aldean's new video off the air. gianno blow says he's been censured and joins us next.

where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences, of background or belief because they were our neighbors and that was above any differences. why does the left have a problem with that? >> because it doesn't go with their agenda, right? all he is showing is the truth. everything there. there is not one word in this music video which i should say i love. nothing speaks about race. everything in here that is listside a crime in america. you can't spit in a cop's face, right? you can't sit here and pull guns on people. you can't loot. and i think that's goes against our agenda, i love this video it's amazing. >> you may understand how jason aldean feels with his song being pulled from cmt. you say one of your songs was shadow banned by apple. tell us about that. >> forgiato and i first couple days that the target song was out people weren't able to
