coast, deadline for the department of justice to given to remove barriers in the rio grande river or else texas could face a lawsuit. texas governor firing back, see you in court, mr. president. we go live with officials this hour with the lawsuit pending, john. >> john: john roberts in washington, good to spend another hour with you and the shadow of the the nation's capitol. >> jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich. republicans say the dam might be breaking at the white house aftershocking testimony from two irs whistleblowers laid out the more than $17 million in payments the biden family allegedly received from the overseas business ventures. >> john: the white house has pushed a narrative that the president kept himself in the dark with what his son and brother were up to, but now appears to shifting defense from no knowledge to no involvement. >> jacqui: jonathan turley moments away how bad it could

all get for the president. but first, gillian turner live on the north lawn. so, gillian, what is oversight chair james comer now claiming he's learned about the president's role in all this? >> so, jacqui, this just breaking a moment ago. house oversight republicans tell fox news they have reason to believe that president biden did communicate with his son hunter's foreign business associates in the past. they believe it includes multiple meetings in which hunter biden phoned his father and put him on speaker phone. james comer gives us this statement. take a look, says we are looking forward very much to hearing from devon archer about all the times he has witnessed hunter biden meeting with joe biden's business partners when he was vice president including when he was on speaker phone. and learning that archer, a former burisma board member has backed out of scheduled depositions three times as he is under subpoena from the committee.

last week two irs agents testified they recommended felony charges for hunter biden but say senior justice department officials intervened. >> i think we are at the important final stage of this whole thing, who are you going to believe. the who whistleblowers whose testimony has been consistent or the garland-biden justice department which cannot get their stories straight. >> the last time the white house addressed this issue on camera at least was last week on july 19th, take a listen. >> department of justice as it relates to their conduct and investigation that something that we say over and over from here and you've heard from the president specifically on this case. this has been led by a trump appointed u.s. attorney. >> comer tells us, jacqui, that he hopes archer is going to testify this week, or be deposed this week. it is make or break time for his committee. congress is about to go out on

resource for all of august break come friday. >> jacqui: one thing he will have to account for is whether the president knew in fact he was communicating with business partners, we saw after the text message, the whatsapp, hunter doing some of this without joe biden's knowledge claiming his father was there. the big question archer will have to prove is the president was surely aware he was part of these conversations. gillian, thank you. >> john: jacqui, bring in jonathan turley, constitutional law attorney and fox news contributor. just as we get goinger hoo, let's rewind the clock and remind our viewers what president biden has said on numerous occasions about whether or not he knew what his son hunter was up to. >> my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him. i have faith in him. i'm confident. my son did nothing wrong. i did nothing wrong. i never discussed a single thing

with my son about anything having to do with ukraine, no one has indicated i have, we have always kept everything separate. i've never discussed my business or their business, my son's or daughter's. >> i've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. >> john: if archer does give a deposition to the house oversight committee as james comer believes he will, perhaps this week, president biden may have some explaining to do. >> well, this could not be more serious, john, because you also have a respected source of the fbi saying that there was evidence at least from a person in ukraine suggesting that there were bribes given indirectly to the president through his family members. now we still have to establish the validity of these claims. bribery is the second crime mentioned in the impeachment clause. whatever you see that word it raises very serious implications for a sitting president and

what's really troubling, john, the denials by the president were not only made when he was running for the presidency, but have continued during the presidency. including being repeated by white house staff. that makes this a problem of his presidency. so we are getting into an area now that really could not be more serious. >> john: jonathan, when you look at how the media at large is treating this and democrats seems people are bending over backwards here to discredit this whole investigation. listen to this. >> reality of the republican investigation into the so-called biden crime family. seem seemingly riddled with students and conspiracy. >> to reference the hearing, a ridiculous clown show. >> i wonder after the plea happens if you would advise your party to move on? >> no, i would not margaret. this is the son of the president

of the united states. >> john: the hotter it gets seems the more shrill democrats are becoming to make the whole thing go away. >> well, i think that's true, john. i think that there is almost a panic setting in with the media. they all want to move on because the alternative is to recognize one of the most significant corruption scandals in modern history but something the media played a role in suppressing, so they want everyone to move on. that's not going to happen. the evidence is mounting and you had these two whistleblowers testify in congress and you'll notice the democrat members asked very little about their specific allegations. and it's because they have been reduced in the amount of maneuvering room by this evidence. they didn't want to trip any wires. when one of them, representative dan goldman from new york tried, he ended up demolishing the biden defense in less than five minutes. he got the witness to confirm

that joe biden did in fact speak to his son about business dealings. so they are all in a position that they are hoping this will move on, but the public and more importantly these committees are just not moving on. >> john: another issue that has you fired up, law professors urging the president to defy the courts. and your column in the hill, two quotes. one is i shall resist any illegal federal court order. the other quote is, when the court's interpretation of the constitution is agregiously wrong, the president should refuse to follow it. the first quote is from alabama segregationist governor george wallace. the send from two liberal law professors at harvard and san francisco state university suggesting that on supreme court decisions like affirmative action the president should just ignore it and do what he wants to do. >> right, and they are not in the minority necessarily in terms of the attacks on the

constitution. in fact, you'll find more faculty members closer to their position than you will conservatives or libertarians. this is a very common point of discussion among law professors. and it also happens tonight very definition of authoritarianism. what they are saying is president biden should be a law to himself, he should be the final arbitor of what the constitution means and they support him in pushing through measures without a vote of congress. well, what do you call that? it's not democracy. but these people cloak themselves as the champion of democracy. the two opinions they have most objected to, affirmative action and the loan forgiveness decisions, both are supported by a majority of the public. so they are arguing for the president to not only ignore the supreme court's decision, but to ignore the will of the american people all in the name of democracy. >> yeah, whether you take a look at public opinion on the

affirmative action case, the majority of the public says there should not be affirmative action involved with race-based admissions with universities. another fascinating column from the professor. jonathan, great to see you as always. appreciate it. >> thank you, john. >> jacqui: a live look in jerusalem, protestors are out in full force, lawmakers there have just approved a key portion of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's controversial plan to reshape the country's justice system. today's vote came after months of protest and also condemnation from the biden administration. t trey, what's the latest? >> jacqui, good afternoon. israeli lawmakers voted to implement a bill that will weaken the country's supreme court by preventing the court from using the reasonableness standard that would allow them to intervene in government decisions. as a result, thousands of

protestors are in the streets of jerusalem. take a look. taken over the main highway in jerusalem, just pushed back law enforcement who were making arrests in this area. tension is high and emotions are high. >> i'm a student, 24 years old, i want future in this country. i want peace, i want freedom. >> right now police in jerusalem are using water canons to try to clear the main highway. protestors have gathered here after a decision to pass a controversial bill in the country's parliament known as the kineset. israel relies on a system of checks and balances to remain a democracy. today one of the balances was removed. jacqui. >> jacqui: we know the biden

administration pretty strongly urged the israelis to reconsider this plan to overhaul the system, and the message here was it fell on deaf ears. what are you hearing about how that conversation went? >> absolutely. there are serious concerns by israel's allies like the united states about the security implications of the bill that was passed today in the israeli parliament. the bill has prompted an upheaval in israeli society. you see the images now, there are thousands of citizens, 10,000 army reservists saying if the bill passes as it did today, they will not serve in the israeli army. so the implications are serious and has the attention of the biden administration that the fracture could only deepen in the coming days and weeks.

>> jacqui: stay safe out there. >> john: an update on a story we brought last hour, police have released dispatch call from the incident involving a paddleboarder who drown yesterday, it happened near president obama's house, you see in the picture there. alexis mcadams has the new details from the new york city newsroom. what are we learning from the call? >> in the call we'll get to in a few seconds, you can hear the dispatcher calling in authorities and trying to get people to the water immediately. man's water was found near former president president obama's estate, and the rescue crews tried to help but too late. >> african american male on a paddleboard, all black, they have not had eye contact on him. they have recovered the board as well as the hat. no life preserver.

>> here is what we do know. police in massachusetts say a 43-year-old african american man went paddleboarding on sunday night, out in the water without the life vest, went under and never came back to the surface. happened near turkey land cove near president barack obama's estate on martha's vineyard, you can see it there. and edgarton great pond is where pond. they used side scanning sonar from a boat, and they were trying to find out if someone from the house called police or if the president was at the house there, and they are wondering when they will release the name of the paddleboarder whose body was recovered. >> john: a shame about the loss of life. thank you. >> jacqui: texas governor greg abbott under fire for the new border barrier in the rio grande

river. critics say it's dangerous, he says he'll see them in court. >> john: new south carolina polling showing former president trump with a strong lead. can any of the other candidates catch up before early voting begins in the primary there? washington with examiner's byron york. >> so what's really taking place here, john, a competition for second place, alternative route to the nomination, to challenge trump. onomics in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. financial well-being to me is knowing that i can be free to do the things that i love to do. i hope when i retire someday, they say, that guy made this place a special place to come to school and gave as much as he could to help the community. when i first learned about

my dupuytren's contracture, my physician referred me to a hand specialist. and i'm glad he did, because when i took the tabletop test, i couldn't lay my hand flat anymore. the first hand specialist i saw only offered surgery. so, i went to a second hand specialist who also offered nonsurgical options — which felt more right for me. so, what i'd say to other people with dupuytren's contracture is this: don't wait — find a hand specialist trained in nonsurgical options, today. i found mine at findahandspecialist.com. age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss and if you're taking a multi-vitamin alone, you may be missing a critical piece... preservision. preservision areds 2 contains the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. preservision is backed by 20 years of clinical studies. so ask your doctor about adding preservision and fill in a missing piece of your plan. like i did with preservision. now with ocusorb better absorbing nutrients.

>> jacqui: former president trump with a commanding lead in south carolina. new fox business polling has 48% of gop primary voters throwing support behind him and a distant second in her home state, by the

way, former governor nikki haley with just 14% of the vote. ron desantis and tim scott rounding out the top four there. byron york, chief political correspondent for the washington examiner, also a fox news contributor. byron, thanks for being with us. i guess the numbers beg the question, does anyone else stand a chance in this horse race in south carolina? >> well, all the numbers look very, very good for president trump. i mean, you know, a lot of times we'll talk about national polls that show trump 30, 32, 34 points ahead and someone will say wait a minute, that's not how the nominating process works, it begins with the early states, iowa, new hampshire and south carolina. and what the new fox business poll shows in two of those states, trump with a 30-point lead in iowa, and 34-point lead in south carolina. and by the way, he has a substantial lead in new hampshire as well.

what we do see in the new fox business polls is a little motion asround second place, yo see nikki haley in second place in south carolina, she's the former governor and tim scott, another person from south carolina in third place in iowa. so a little movement around there, around governor desantis and the second place race. >> jacqui: and what's driving the numbers, you have economic issues at 51% being the most important factor to south carolina republicans and their choice for who they were to be the republican nominee. and the numbers below that are just a fraction, i mean, you have 12% for foreign policy, immigration, populus issues at 7%, the economy is far and away the biggest driving factor. so, that being the case, do you find it surprising that trump

would have this significant of a lead? >> not really among republicans, and we are just talking about among republicans. but you know, when trump in particular could ask the question are you better off now than you were four years ago, of course four years ago he was the president and most people are not better off now than they were four years ago. inflation, which is getting better now, but has just eaten enormous amounts of their buying power, and they are worried about recession, they are worried about instability in the future, difficult to buy a house, high mortgage rates, that kind of stuff. so of course people are concerned about the economy. it's usually the biggest issue in any race, certainly is now, and when you look back to the last time a republican was in charge if you were a republican, that's donald trump. >> jacqui: why then do people dislike mike pence so much. you would think he could make

the same argument and the same poll shows among the people that primary voters in south carolina would never vote for, pence is in the lead of that pack with 38% saying they would never vote for pence. what do you make of that? >> i think the short story is, donald trump has trashed his former vice president over and over and over, accusing him unfairly and inaccurately of having been able to somehow stop the counting of the electoral votes on january 6, 2021, when pence in fact had no authority to do so. but trump has just attacked him mercilessly. i'm not sure absent all that mike pence would just set the electorate on fire but he's really has an uphill climb with donald trump being so negative about him. >> jacqui: and not just in the numbers, also in the fundraising. appreciate you being here. >> john: when you take a look at

it, i don't know how anybody gets close to the former president, i really don't. >> jacqui: and third indictment potentially on the horizon and proven none of that is going to change the trajectory for him. >> john: i don't think for trump supporters it matters. shock value in the first one, second one, ok, to trump voters, and a third time, many may say it's unfair. voters at large may have a different idea but people who support donald trump, i don't think the indictments matter. >> jacqui: wait and see what the dependents do in the general. an interesting thing to watch. >> john: what i just said is going to make twitter. investigators searching the home of a suspected long island serial killer spent the weekend digging with an excavator as

well as a vault found in the suspected killer's home. plus this. >> so you hear from me, the song is supposed to be about people getting their [bleep] together and start acting right. that's what the song is about. >> jacqui: he is not backing down. try that in a small town singer, jason aldean speaking out with his message to his critics, outkicks charlie arnault joins "america reports." where our focus is to always support the people who live and work there. because you call these communities home, and we do too. pnc bank.

(we did it) start today at godaddy.com >> jacqui: investigators are back at the home of the prime suspect in the gilgo beach murders, this time using an excavator to dig up the back yard and cadaver dogs on hand. nate foy has more from massapequa park. >> in a surprise news conference today, suffolk county police commissioner clarified investigators have not sound a

soundproof room in rex heuermann's basement but rather a large vault with a big iron door. here he is moments ago. >> there is not a soundproof room. there is a vault where he secured numerous amount of guns, somehow, i believe that the soundproof room in the vault, that message got misconstrued. >> jacqui, commissioner harrison said tomorrow or wednesday will likely be the last day at the house. as you look live, investigators on the 11th straight day here. it comes after a weekend of digging in the back yard, using an excavator and cadaver dogs and radar. they say investigators believe heuermann murdered at least one of his victims here. so far, though, officials are not publicly confirming that. he remains on suicide watch in an isolated jail cell. so far he has not had any

visitors other than his lawyer. he's also wearing a special suit so he does not hurt himself. authorities say based on the evidence collected so far, they believe heuermann acted alone. the sheriff also said they have not found any so-called trophies but more testing of evidence is required. now, despite that, jacqui, back out here live, commissioner harrison says the search of heuermann's home so far has been "fruitful." the suspected serial killer appears next in court one week from tomorrow. back to you. >> jacqui: crazy case. >> john: controversy, jason aldean defending his song and music video "try that in a small town" after critics accused him of promoting violence and racism. he addressed it on stage this weekend. >> the video is not directed at one particular person but ultimately what i see when i turn on the tv, people acting completely ridiculous, right.

it's not something i'm used to. so you hear it from me, the song is actually supposed to be about people getting [bleep] together and start acting right. that's what the song is about. >> john: however, the national review argues that aldean's song is not helping and writes we need songs about virtue not vines. let's bring in outkick host charlie arnold. >> i have listened to the song several times over the course of the past few days, along with every other american it seems like, because now the song has surged to the top of the itunes chart for song and music video and also now the fourth top selling song of the year in the past week. people understand what jason aldean is trying to do, its not about violence but the opposite of that. he's trying to say hey, we should be protecting our loved ones, especially in the small communities from the atrocities we see basically every day in the larger cities like here in new york and los angeles and makes sense that the left would

push back against a song like this, because seems like they are just pretty much out to destroy every american city. so naturally they would want to go against a song that reinforces the opposite type of behavior. jason aldean, one of many americans sick and tired of the way the country is being ran. and i'm not a huge country music fan but suddenly a huge fan of jason aldean. >> john: i am a huge country music fan and a fellow i know wrote a couple of his number one hit songs, including "crazy town." i was in cincinnati friday night and taking on cancel culture head on. >> i feel everybody is entitled to their opinion. you can think something all you want to, does not mean it's true. so what i am is a proud american, i'm proud to be from here, i love our country, i want to see it restored to what it once was before all this [bleep] started happening to us. >> u.s.a., u.s.a.!

>> john: so the left is pummelling him saying the song is violent, shot in front of the courthouse scene of a lynching in 1927, even though hannah montana and a tanya tucker movie were shot there and people of the left are asking -- what about the misogyny lyrics in rap music. >> what did they be so upset about music, and i've been a fan of hip-hop music for years, appreciate it for what it is and the art form but honest about the music, you see all the lyrics, a lot of them centered around violence, gang activity, obscenities and no one says a word about that, but yet they want to say jason aldean is making it a call to arm, making

it a race war and it has nothing to do with that. listen to the lyrics and very closely, you can see nothing points to race or anything like it. this is just one more way for the left to push back against a conservative country singer rather than attacking a rapper or someone in the hip-hop industry. >> john: as the left pushes back, chinese movie audiences seem to be pushing back against hollywood. "barbenheimer" did 258 million over the weekend, and this movie goer in shanghai said what's driving folks away from theaters there, "little mermaid" too focused on correctness, i go to the theater to not be instilled with certain values.

and hollywood is drawing lines that china owns taiwan. are we too woke for china, should we give a you know what whether the chinese audiences like the movies? >> put all the propaganda in the movies. now it's not called hollywood anymore, it's hollywoke, and audiences don't want part of that. so many movies have strayed too far from traditional values, no one wants to put the stamp of approval, and the movies, look at the new rendition of "snow white," the seven dwarfs are not dwarfs, because they thought it was too politically incorrect, and snow white is not a white woman, even though the name is snow white. and i saw the actresses starring in the newest rendition have said it's no longer about this woman finding true love, she's no longer going to be saved by a

prince, all about her being the natural born leader she was supposed to be. we are going too far out of the way to make things too diverse and inclusive. we have lost sight of what hollywood is supposed to be about. >> john: no shortage of opinion, thank you. jacqui. >> jacqui: amc theaters is also walking back plans to charge more for better seats. announced a new pricing plan earlier this year and movie goers and eliteest called it unfair. they tried to make better seats more expensive so they are killing the idea entirely. >> john: they should have killed it before they implemented it. it makes no sense at all. >> jacqui: you go to the movie early for a good seat. >> john: and every imax has a

good seat. except the one way in front. god bless tom cruise. "mission impossible" on the imax was amazing, and apparently "oppenheimer" is great as well. >> jacqui: i hear the people in the "barbie" theater could hear the atomic bomb from the other one. >> john: put in big sound systems, not necessarily big walls. but imax, canadian invention, only way to see a movie, as far as i'm concerned. >> big brawl breaks out in chicago saturday night. one example of rampant violence over the weekend and illinois law enforcement officials worry it could get even worse. >> john: elon musk rolling out a new logo for twitter among his social media site overhaul. will the new branding soar or will x fall flat.

>> john: shocking video showing a major brawl that broke out in chicago on saturday night. windy city seeing another violent weekend with six killed and dozens shot in total. garrett is live in chicago, the city's new progressive mayor, brandon johnson, has yet to say anything about all of this. where is he? >> yeah, john, no tweets, no statements, no press conferences on this weekend's violence despite 33 people being shot and six people dying. youngest of this weekend's victims was just 13 years old. a boy who was out riding his bike on the city's south side on friday when someone drove by and

shot him, grazing him and sending him to the hospital. later that night a few miles away, police found a 16-year-old boy who had been shot multiple times in the chest and he ultimately passed away. most of the city's crime and violence used to be on the city's south and west sides, but today it has spread to the historically safer neighborhoods on the northern side as well. you can see in this video from saturday night, police and security guards trying to break up a large street fight that broke out outside of a bar a few blocks from wrigley field. police are also warning communities in several neighborhoods of multiple crews of criminals responsible for at least 70 robberies over this past month. many in daylight while the victims were working in the front yards or walking on the side lot. murders and shootings are down year over year, they are up significantly compared to pre-pandemic, four years ago.

331 killed, and 1300 shootings. breaks down to more than 1.5 murders a day and at least one shooting every four hours and we are just getting into the thick of summertime when those figures historically have gone up significantly. john. >> just crazy what's happening there. thank you. >> jacqui: the biden administration is threatening to sue texas governor greg abbott over the 1,000 foot floating barrier deployed in the rio grande. we'll speak about it next, and you can see the barrier we are talking about.

>> jacqui: the ongoing feud between the white house and texas governor greg abbott has taken another turn. administration threatening to sue unless abbott removes the floating barriers and razor wire in the rio grande intended to slow the flow of migrants. you can see the barrier over the spokesperson's shoulder, chris, obviously texas governor abbott is not going to comply with the directive from the biden administration to take this down. do you think that's the right move? >> absolutely. good afternoon, jacqui, great to

be with you. the governor made it clear he has the sovereign authority to protect his state under the u.s. constitution and the governor is not backing down. strong leadership and the governor made it clear if the federal government cares about human life they would follow immigration laws but they refuse to do that and the state of texas has been stepping up two years and even now, with the texas state troopers, agencies that have supported us they are rescuing illegal immigrants crossing the river, knowing the risk, they are the ones out there risking their lives trying to rescue, prevent, illegal border crossings. children left abandoned by smugglers, arrest the smugglers that are extorting and robbing some of the illegal immigrants. it's the state of texas, our men and women, national guard, and all the other agencies out here

on the front lines doing the work most don't want to do it. >> jacqui: and the governor is saying he is trying to preserve human lives by stopping them from entering dangerous waters and all americans seeing the drugs come across the river, for instance, talks about fentanyl, cartel violence, human trafficking, the doj is being bland and pointing to the law, saying texas unauthorized construction of the floating barrier is a prima facie violation of the rivers and harbors act. floating barrier poses a risk to navigation as well as public safety in the rio grande river and prevents humanitarian concerns. so they are saying it's a humanitarian risk having it out there. what's your answer? >> well, jacqui, everything that we are doing are all preventive measures. we are trying to prevent and

discourage illegal border crossings. first off, we need to really concentrate and focus on why are they allowing illegal boarding crossings, why aren't they stopping anyone from entering the river. they have nothing in place to prevent that. the state of texas has stepped up and we are doing that. we have a marine barrier, we have concertina wire, boots on the ground, all the signs and loud speakers that broadcast a message that do not cross the river because it is dangerous. but yet they want to criticize what the state of texas is doing but yet they are not focusing on the real cause of the situation and it's failed border policies. until they step up and try to prevent illegal border crossings, the state of texas will move forward with the operations, find ways to enhance operations and fortify gaps along the border. we have to step up, protect the state and the country and look out for the interests of the migrants and their well-being. >> jacqui: chris, appreciate your time. >> john: twitter saying bye-bye
