hearing, they said they were not given full access to evidence and that was blocked. lucas tomlinson has the latest. >> two irs whistleblowers testified that joe biden and his son hunter each received $5 million to get ukraine's top prosecutor fired when biden was vice-president and his son was a board member of the same ukrainian energy company that prosecutor was investigating. these new allegations come from an unclassified fbi document made public by iowa senator chuck grassley, a document one of the irs whistleblowers says he was never allowed to see. >> i had never seen that document before so i had never seen that 1023. the reason why that so 1023 might have been important that could further validate some other evidence we're trying to prove in the case and that's why all information is necessary for especially the lead irs case agent to have. >> now, alicia, none of this fbi document can be verified.

some said the same thing about the steele dossier, and recall, donald trump was impeached after asking ukraine's president to investigate the bidens over the same matter and now some republicans want payback. >> you've got the substance of the allegation, and then you also have the obstruction by the fbi into the investigation of hunter biden. >> that is an impeachable offense. that's quid pro quo. that's influence peddling and that's bribery. >> this is the efforts of a two--tiered justice system that we have going on in america right now. >> now, it's notable besides chris christie, you don't really hear much criticism about donald trump himself when it comes to these indictments. most of the g.o.p. candidates turn their eye on president biden's justice department and the fbi. here is chris christie last night at a town hall in south carolina's capitol. >> if you're a republican in this room who is committed to wanting to defeat joe biden because you think he's not the right president, why in god's

name would we nominate somebody who is going to be on federal criminal trial five and a half months before election day? it is insanity. >> now, trump faces a may 2024 trial date in his classified documents case and hunter biden will make his first court appearance in wilmington this wednesday on the two misdemeanor tax charges and gun charges. >> and there's a question whether or not the judge is going to actually accept the deal which was made for hunter. is that a possibility that that wouldn't happen? >> officials say unlikely, that the plea deal has been made by hunter. he's going to go in and plead guilty. another accusation of the whistleblowers late this week on capitol hill they wanted felony charges brought up and that those, in that tax case against hunter biden. in fact, house oversight

committee chairman james comer said that hunter received about $17 million from foreign sources over the year and irs whistleblowers validated that and totalled it for him and said that this was willfulness and that charge of willful nis is a felony and should not have been a felony. >> we'll cover it. thanks, lucas. griff. griff: all right. for more on this from the two irs whistleblowers on capitol hill this week. let's talk to republican congressman from new york. a member of the house oversight committee. nick langeworthy. thanks for taking the time. you heard lucas' report and let's pick up with that. what do you on the oversight committee and other republicanses want to hear from the men overseeing this, david weiss, he will come to capitol hill and what do we need to hear from him. we need to hear from him and

hear from him soon. unfortunately, the recess that congress leaves town for the month of august, but we absolutely need to have him in before the oversight committee as soon as possible date no matter what it takes. what we heard from the whistleblowers this week was that they were stonewalled in doing their job. these are very credible witnesses and what i pointed out in my testimony when i had my opportunity to question these witnesses, is that not one single democrat, that went threw darts at them through the whole hearing which lasted many hours, none of them attacked the substance and credibility of what they had to say. no one is defending hunter biden, joe biden or anyone in the biden crime-- >> and that's a great point, congressman. let me hold you right there for a second, and i want to hear or viewers to hear from ziegler to that exact point. listen here. >> i think it's my duty, my sworn duty as a federal law

enforcement officer that i come forward and i tell the truth. i come forward, i've presented evidence, there's a process that we're given in becoming a whistleblower. i think that's the most important thing and look at everything that we've presented to congress, to the house ways and means committee, none of it's been refuted. griff: to your point, none of it's been refuted. what does that tell you? >> not one word. all you heard out of democrats during the entire hearing was trump or some sort of allegation about somebody else that wasn't even in the room. and that's what's so ridiculous here, these are cold, hard facts. the sweetheart plea deal put in front of hunter biden wouldn't be available to anybody else in america, and what we have here on full display is the two-tiered system of justice that really, there's a set of laws and a set of penalties for people named biden or perhaps clinton and the policies for everybody else and the american

people are starting to wake up to this and they're seeing it firsthand that someone is getting away with a very serious set of crimes. the facts that we have put forward in five short months at the house oversight committee have really woken many people up to what's going on here with this biden crime network. i mean, how many times do we have to point out millions of dollars in payments that are going forward to a series of family members that have no expertise, that have no proven abilities to get paid. big corporations don't do this if everything is on the up and up. this is influence peddling at its very finest and it's been-- now we've put this on display for the american people. griff: and to your point, the american people are looking at what is undeniable preferential treatment for the president's son, but is it your sense that hunter biden to this day and going forward into your continued investigation on the part of house republicans, that

hunter biden is still receiving preferential treatment? >> if this plea deal goes forward and there's no additional prosecution, absolutely. there's crystal clear preferential treatment. these pedestrian charges that he's pleaing to. one, there was no speculation, no publicly available documents on the fact that he was being charged, that it was nearing the point of plea. meanwhile, we see another, you know, charge sprout up around former president trump almost a daily basis. this is not something that would happen. we've had famous people in this country, musicians that have had gun charges and they were not allowed to have the sort of sweetheart plea deals put in front of them. this is absolutely putting on display that the justice department is in the tank for the bidens and you heard it out of the whistleblowers during their testimony and they weren't offered to see that form 1023, which was-- would have helped them corroborate some of their investigations and put context

to facts that they were investigating. i mean, i've looked through these suspicious activities reports from the banks. there's damning, damning evidence there, and the biden family is almost 100% there. and every time they got close to the big guy, the doj stepped in and said cool it off. griff: there is quite a lot when you start to dig into these sars as you mention, suspicious activity reports. i want to get your take, i want you to weigh in because your colleague, marjorie taylor greene, at one point, talking about specific sar, held up an image of course, the naked pictures of hunter biden and allege sex acts with a prostitute, talking about whether or not he was guilty of a crime of cross-state prostitution, but i want to get your reaction, was that appropriate to show something so graphic? >> well, i mean, certainly marjorie has her five minutes to make her point, as members of this committee do.

she was trying to draw attention to the man act, another federal violation clearly was done by hunter biden, which is transported prostitutes across state line for the purpose of sex work. that's something that brought down eliot spitzer, if you remember correctly. marjorie, obviously, you know, has a very colorful style and used that opportunity to draw attention to that in a very provocative way. i'm not sure i would have done that myself, but that was her prerogative as a member of the committee to do that. griff: i think provocative is perhaps the correct adjective to use there. congressman nick langworthy, thank you very much for your time today. have a great weekend, sir. >> thank you. >> the g.o.p. primary heating up with the very first presidential debate here on fox, this just a few weeks away now. here is a look at the republican candidates that have qualified for the debate so far set for august 23rd. for more on campaign 2024,

we're joined by spokeswoman for maga, inc. and pro president trump super pac, caroline, and for vivek ramaswamy, thank you for being here. this is a quinnipiac bowl looking at those most important to voters when picking pa president. the economy lead here at 31% preserving democracy at 26% and then things kind of drop off there, abortion, gun violence. caroline, i want to check with you, how you believe the former president, how he would approach the economy and what he can do for those hurting out there? >> most definitely. this is the ultimate priority and just like top priority in his previous term he ignited the might of our economy and

military and unleashed the potential of our domestic energy production. you never heard the word inflation during trump's administration and now joe biden's reckless spending led to record high inflation rates, record high gas prices hurting american families every day. donald trump, this is part of the reason he decided to step into the arena and run again. it's to revamp our economy, to revamp our energy industry. just yesterday he put forth a proposal to revitalize the american auto industry. he's one of the few candidates in this race that have detailed policy plans if you can to his website, agenda 47, you can read those specific policy proposals he's coming up with while facing more headwinds than any other candidate in this race from joe biden's corrupt department of justice. every poll shows that donald trump is the leader that american people trust like the important issues on the economy. he's not only beating everybody in the primary, but joe biden as well. >> trisha a chance.

>> and vivek ramaswamy, the only candidate that says 5% gdp growth and stabilizing the dollar, unleashing american energy, frack, oil, and coal. and finally, dismantling lyndon b. johnson's america, and laziness in america and paying people to stay home. let' get back to excellence in america. >> let's move on to preserving democracy. before we get there, i want to play a little bit of an interview that john roberts and sandra smith had this week with the former president's attorney with regard to the target letter that he received on sunday over january 6th. take a listen. >> on sunday night, the president gets an invitation to appear before a grand jury in

the same week that joe biden is ensnarled in a massive bribery allegation and at the same time that the president-- president trump is leading in the polls. so, something's going on here that's not quite right. but there's no need to appear in front of any grand jury right now. >> trisha, i want to begin with you on this. how does ramaswamy define preserving democracy and how does he see things playing out when it comes to the leader on the republican side? >> vivek has been the most vocal candidate in defense of president trump against the weaponization of the justice department and these indictments. it's up to the american people to decide who their leader in the white house is not up to the managerial class which is exactly why vivek articulated that he'll dismantle and shut down the fbi and actually he did this on thursday, describe be how he will restructure, so

this kind of political weaponization does not happen again to anyone, including president biden. >> caroline? >> yeah, trisha is right and i think that's part of the reason that vivek ramaswamy is climbing in the polls and ran desantis is sinking because vivek is respecting the will of the republican voters and realizing the corrupt department of justice is the greatest threat to democracy. joe biden is using the full weight of our taxpayer funded agency to go after his leading political opponent in the polls and you see it with the jack smith indictment, and you saw it with far left alvin bragg in new york city and they want to imprison one man in this race, that's donald trump because he served as a unique threat to joe biden, to the democrats, to the department of justice and the billion dollar war regime that wants endless wars. he's the only candidate call for peace in ukraine and they can't stand that because he puts the american people first. >> let's talk about the debate and put up--

we have a picture of those candidates who have not met the requirements at this point and i think, most of us can agree though, a standout here is the former vice-president mike pence, but caroline, i want your thoughts on that, but also, just checking one more time, if your boss is maybe thinking, rethinking not showing up and maybe he'll be there in august? >> i'll let president trump speak for himself. what i'll say is that part of the democratic process does not include doing debates that includes earning the support and trust of the voters who decide our elections and no one is doing that like president trump. he's hosting town halls in iowa, in new hampshire. he had 50,000 patriots show up for him in south carolina in the heat on independence day weekend and poll after poll shows that patriots are excited to vote for him and frankly, it's probably best for the other candidates on that stage that he doesn't show up to the debate. we know what happened in 2016,

else's a fierce counter puncher and the other candidates should be grateful he won't be on the stage attacking them. >> and vivek came into the race with no name i.d., and now we'll see he'll probably be in the center of debate stage and there was a poll in clear third two points from ron desantis and he was tied with ron desantis in a poll at 12% and we're seeing some, we're thinking it's a reagan revolution and we'll call it a ramaswamy revolution and we'll see on the debate stage. >> thank you. tomorrow shannon bream talks with vivek ramaswamy, as well economic advisors.

>> a california school district moving forward with a controversial policy that will require teachers to notify parents if their child begins identifying as transgender in what some are calling a victory for parents' rights. the policy has sparked heated debate and drawn nationwide attention. christina coleman is live in los angeles with the details. hi christina. >> hi alicia. this new policy recording transgender students was fiercely debated at a school board meeting and the chino valley school district east of los angeles. both supporters and critics of the new rule voiced their

concerns. >> if the student without their families consent could be hate crimes and kicked out of homes. >> please set out what you to do, nothing is more important to protecting our children and keeping parents in their lives. >> the school board voted in favor of a new policy at that requires school staffs to notify parents in writing after a student requests to identify with a gender different than their birth certificate or choose to use a different restroom. >> tony thurmon opposes the policy and calls it radical and says it tramples on the safety and rights of student and had a heated exchange with the school board president who is in favor of the new rule. >> point of order, as the board president-- >> this is not your meeting. you could have a seat if i did that in sacramento, you would not accept it, you're not going to blackmail us. >> thurmon was escorted out of

the building after the exchange after people tried to shout him down and the school board president says she's received backlash for supporting the parent notification policy. in a statement given exclusively to fox news yesterday she said, quote, i am so disheartened that i'm getting death threats on my life because i want to keep parents involved in their children's life. i'm saddened we're at a point in time and this is what it's come to be because parents want to be involved in their children's life. and thurmon reportedly says he plans to challenge this new policy on both a state and federal level. alicia. alicia: we'll keep watching. christina coleman. thanks, christina. griff: now to the southern border. the department of justice is now planning to sue texas for deploying a floating barricade at the u.s.-mexico border. you see them, the orange balls there, calling it the unlawful construction of a barrier in the rio grande river.

quite an interesting trip and didn't exact include migrants all the time, right? tell us about that. griff: it didn't. i want for fox nation, the greatest assignment ever to go down and find pablo escobar's hippos. this is our drone team literally on the property that used fob pablo escobar's estate. and they're the most endangered land mammal on earth. it was harrowing and difficult, but i tell you we found them and we now, one of the top hippo expert in colombia, who actually got started in this scientific world starting plants, now got shifted to hippos. says there's a quote, time bomb of hippos, because the four original hippos that pablo escobar had when he was killed in 1993 has turned now into 170 or more. they're multiplying. they have no natural predator. they're thriving there and spreading throughout rural

colombia and injuring lots of colombians and becoming a danger to society as well as an environmental concern. we're going to have a special on fox nation in a few weeks. stay tuned, we've got great footage. alicia: it's amazing. and something i think that a lot of folks out there knew nothing about and you also said that the baby hippos are popular and folks kind of have them as a status cymbal? >> they do and it's illegal. but there's actually trafficking of baby hippos happening and they try to get the cubs away from mothers and sell them for lots of colombians and others, we know some have gone to mexico. it's a status symbol to own a piece of pablo, the drug lord's hippos, a special soon to come, fox nation. alicia: absolutely, can't wait. griff: fans of country superstar jason aldean are getting ready for a big concert in wisconsin at the country thunder music festival. we'll go there live with the latest on the pushback against

violence. aldean says it's not only meritless, but dangerous and the song is about the sense of community he had growing up in a small town. and the clips of some of the riots and demonstrations during black lives matter. and a lot of people had to say about the controversy many surprised it turned into a controversy at all. >> it doesn't offend me at all. i've seen the video and it's the world we live in today. >> well, we live in a town of like a thousand, so, we know the small town experience. the song is about community. it's about taking care of each other. >> i think it depends where you're from, if you're a big city, you don't get it. if you're from a small town like the song is about, you all understand. >> critics are upset over the video's back drop. the morey county courthouse outside of nashville where a mob hung a young black man in 1927 #.

transparency over safety standards. republican senator roger marshall supported cutting funding. >> i came to this conclusion over two years ago and there was plenty of evidence then, the gain of function research, the technology we had given them is exactly why this happened. alicia: for more on this, victoria coates joins us now, the vice-president for foreign policy at the heritage foundation. good to see you. victoria, senator marshall is not the only one who saw this coming a couple of years ago and i think a lot of people are wondering why are we just getting to this now? >> well, it's good to be with you, alicia. i mean, this is what is shocking. senator marshall is absolutely correct. how have we be pouring taxpayer dollars into the wuhan virology lab for years after i think reasonable people have very deep suspensions that that was the origin point for covid and the fact that they've only now

realized that the standards and practices at that lab are pretty lax and finally had to cut off the funding, i mean, we needed an investigation in all u.s. dollars that are going into any kind of scientific research in china. this is a scandal. alicia: and we all know what dr. anthony fauci said and this is what folks were hearing back in april of 2020 and this has kind of followed through in the fabric of the language over covid-19 over the past couple of years. take a listen. >> could you address the suggestions or concerns that this virus was somehow manmade, possibly came out of a laboratory in china? >> the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human. alicia: and you know, when folks started to-- especially a lot of republicans out there are saying, hang on a

second, it seems like it would make so much sense when you look at this laboratory, that was doing this work, that maybe that's where it came from, but a lot of people were knocked down when they said that and accused of racism and not being fair. >> no, it was extraordinary and dr. fauci has been absolutely determined from the get-go, from 2020 on to insist that this was a natural leap not a manmade virus from the lab, as he was the one who was directing the funding to go to the lab. i'm sorry, this is demanding a congressional investigation into who was putting out the order to defend this lab, and then on the other hand, alicia, the other thing i'd like to know, is how many chinese nationals have access to our labs, are participating in research in our national labs? i think we've got to cut that off immediately. alicia: you bring up a really good point there. and i'd like to drill down a

little bit more on your call for congressional investigation. what is exactly that you think that congress would be able to do and how could americans benefit from any information that's garnered? >> well, i think we do need to know what the origins of covid, where it originated and it's not just republicans. i mean, if you remember, the very liberal comedian jon stewart kind of put out an extraordinary video saying how can we not look at this? this is just common sense. so, i think origins of covid are important, but then also, why we are sending funding to the communist chinese for anything, including scientific research, i think that we should get a clear accounting from the relevant agencies of what money is flowing to china from our treasury. so i think those are the sorts of things that the house select committee could investigate on china, could investigate and i think they have to. alicia: you know, victoria, in

our last few seconds here, i'd like to kind of hit on what a lot of folks out there had to deal with over the last three years. so much information that came out has proven not to be true, was questioned all along and politicized and there are a lot of people out there who really don't know what to believe from the people who are, they are told, are the experts. the people in the know. and that's really difficult and can be dangerous. >> it is. it's deeply unsettling because americans were being canceled just for asking perfectly logical questions about this thing that was so dramatically impacting all of our lives and the second you asked a question, you were a racist or hated science, and so i think we can't go down that road again. and i think we need to, you know, apologize to folks like senator cotton and senator cruz who were raising this issue a couple of years ago and were treated like pariahs. alicia: that's very true. victoria coates, thank you for your time today. griff. griff: alicia, brand new

that he might have kept something, a jewelry or-- what are they looking for? >> they're going to be looking for trophies. that's just something that dennis rader is coming out and making comparisons. and people who do these types of things, they keep trophies. if what they're looking for are trophies, so to speak in terms of jewelry, maybe undergarments, that's going to take a while to sift through. even though the sheriff says they haven't found them, that doesn't mean that they haven't found them yet. there's going to be a lot that they're going to be combing through in the house. reports are believe that some or all of these murders may have been committed in the house because they were apparently done when the family members were out of town so that makes the entire house potentially a crime scene and they've found other things of note, including an arsenal of weapons, a lot of which were not registered to him. so that could bring additional charges and there's been a lot of reporting about a doll that, you know, a sex doll that was found in a glass case.

this is a guy with some very disturbing proclivities. >> you mentioned additional charges, lexi. how do you think we're headed towards of the three we know of, that he's charged with. 11 additional potential victims, where do you see it headed? >> the d.a. is honing in on the fourth victim and he's been charged with three murders and they've gone on record it's a foregone conclusion and the grand jury needs to get to the point where they're going to indict him on the fourth murder. i think that's coming and they're going to multiple states. you don't have to be a forensic psychiatrist, people who have th these, he had a time share in las vegas and around. and they're going to search for missing persons and homicides they weren't able to link them

to and now they're looking into that as well. griff: the investigation is spreading to different states. i want to ask you if you have any insight on the wife or the family and their reaction, appears they were kept in the dark, but obviously, they're part of this investigation. >> well, the wife has filed for divorce, as the report said, and that's common in these types of cases and apparently, according to investigators who broke the news to them, they were very surprised and very upset, and they're also victims in this. obviously, not the same as the murder victims, but the family, their family life has now been turned upsidedown. the daughterer apparently worked with him in the architectural firm. assuming they had nothing to do with these murders, their world has been rocked as well. griff: will they want to question them as well? >> i assume they'll want to question them and did egg out late at night. did you know about the searches, why does he have a locked room in the house, what did he do with the guns?

they're important for the investigators to figure out what his life style was like. whether they had any idea. whether he had any weird habits or proclivities and based on his internet searches he most certainly did. a lot of times family members are in the dark about these things. griff: just a horrifying story. thank you so much for your time. and have a great weekend. >> thank you, griff. griff: alicia. alicia: a soccer superstar making a brand new debut in miami. that story just ahead. with the freestyle libre 2 system know your glucose level and where it's headed without fingersticks. manage your diabetes with more confidence and lower your a1c. it's covered by medicare for those who qualify. ask your doctor about the freestyle libre 2 system. you won't overpay for glasses if you shop at america's best. they offer two pairs and a free, quality eye exam starting at just $79.95. i can see from your expression that you find that shocking. ...aaaaaaaand, you don't have ears. book an exam today at americasbest.com. ya know, if you were cashbacking you could earn
