they call it as joe biden's legal team, rather hunter biden's legal team is accused of misleading the court clerk's office and the judge is steamed. >> lawrence: my my my. lucas thomas son is live in washington with the latest. what can you tell us? >> good morning. lawrence, if those irs whistleblowers had their way hunter biden would be facing felony tax charges. expected to plead guilty in the gun charge as well. the judge presiding over the criminal case threatened biden's legal team with sanctions over allegations hunter's attorney lied to the clerk's office. hunter's counsel is accused of avoiding procedure to aggravatedly get information from irs whistleblowers removed. the judge said, quote: it appears that the caller misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to properly convince the clerk's office to remove the amicus materials from the docket thereby it is ordered on or before 9:00 a.m. today counsel

for defendant shall show cause as to why sanctions should not be considered for misrepresentations to the court. now, a larry from hunter's legal team accused of misrepresenting who she was when asking to remove those materials. she allegedly called to ask the clerk to seal the information instead of making a formal motion to the court. the matter under consideration appears to stem from unfortunate and unintentional miscommunication between a staff member at our firm and employees of the court. we have no idea how the misunderstanding occurred our understanding was there was no misrepresentation. the house ways and means smith filed a brief of his own asking the judge to throw out the sweetheart deal saying the defendant appears to have benefited from political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation of the u.s. attorney's office this. in the interest of full transparency and fairness for all citizens, it's critical for the court to have this relevant information when evaluating the plea agreement. here is former congressman jason

chaffetz. excuse me. >> why would hunter biden's attorneys lie to the court? that's a pretty serious charge, demanding questions that needed to be turned in tonight. there doesn't seem to be any reasonable excuse as to why to do this and to get under, you know, put a burr under the judge's saddle right before they are going to make some rulings is critical. >> now, long time friend and ally of hunter biden and the biden family served as a prosecutor in the delaware u.s. attorney's office and even called him brother when that office led the federal investigation into hunter biden and has visited the white house at least five times during the biden administration. this, according to a report from colleagues at fox digital. guy, almost need shannon bream to get through all that legalese. >> ainsley: according to emails from biden's abandoned laptop and savored by fox news digital this guy who did work in the delaware u.s. attorney's office, he signed off on one of those emails to hunter that says, love

you, brother. they remained in close contact and considered allies and long-time friends. >> might be a conflict of interest. >> ainsley: might be. >> steve: might be, indeed. lucas, thank you. it's interesting because this judge who is going to weigh in on whether or not to accept the plea deal worked out by david weiss the u.s. attorney in delaware, who was appointed by donald trump, the judge was appointed by donald trump. and there she is right there mary ellen nor kia, and it sounds like i have read a bunch of stuff it sounds like a rubber stamping. she will ask a lot of questions to make it look like she is trying to be fair and balanced usually in this situation when it's worked out by the prosecutor, even though those irs whistleblowers have blown this case apart. she is probably going to say okay, i'm going to take it. >> ainsley: he is set to plead guilty to the two misdemeanors failure to pay taxes in '167 and '18 and avoid charges and

internet pre-trial diversidiversionprogram. as for the pre-trial diversion plan, hunter has to remain drug-free and never own a firearm again and if he reneges charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail and a hefty fine. >> steve: to that point, ainsley he has to remain drug-free. i wonder if hunter biden is going to have to go through rigorous drug testing? >> ainsley: most people would. most people would. i'm not sure if the president's son will have to go through that. >> steve: could be another sweetheart deal. >> lawrence: could be drug-tested at any time. i think the average day american is wondering why the president's son is getting a much different deal than they would have gotten, especially when his father is responsible for a lot of the laws that were put in place for mandatory minimums that were put in place back in the day during the crime bill. kevin mccarthy has brought up

the i-word. the impeachment question. and he is calling it an inquiry. this is what he had to say and the reasons why they're considering this. watch. >> you have got irs whistleblowers saying something when it comes to government treating the bidens different. you have got an informant claiming that the biden family had been bribed: should you ignore that? or should you investigate that? the only way you can investigate that is through an impeachment inquiry so the committee would have the power to get all the documents they need. what an impeachment inquiry does gives to gather the information that they need. >> ainsley: it's not an impeachment. it's to get all the information, then we are going to inquire is this an impeachable offense? >> steve: right. we have seen this movie a couple of times before. first step, impeachment inquiry.

almost always it leads to an impeachment. i have heard from members of congress on the republican side, they are going to -- they are going to do the i-word of joe biden. that guy right there. doesn't look too happy in that picture. and they are going to use the 1023 form as the basis for everything. here's the problem. and we will talk to, miranda devine. it's completely unverified. certain critical parts of the story that have been refuted by the people in the story. so it's problematic and so that's why kevin mccarthy says we need other stuff, more documents. >> lawrence: tomorrow is national whistleblower day. >> steve: really? >> lawrence: tomorrow is national whistleblower. >> ainsley: does that mean bring a whistle to work and blow it a lot? >> lawrence: that's good, ainsley. i found out about this because yesterday in the middle of the night chuck grassley gave a speech, a passionate speech,

about 15 minutes. he brings up this 1023 form and he says the reason why he is giving the speech because national whistleblower day is thursday. >> ainsley: there day for everything. >> lawrence: there is a day for everything. i learn something new for congress you always learn about new days. he talks about this 1023 form and he talks about wray not handing over this letter until he found out that chuck grassley had already seen the letter. so i am interested to see how this is going to play out. but it is something that christopher wray was so protective of this certain document threaten not just because they have oversight but saying christopher wray, i already know the contents of this letter. you better release it or i'm going to haul you over. >> steve: right. historically the 1023 is never released because it's just a work product of the agent or agents who took the thing. usually it's another form that winds up in the public venue. >> ainsley: the first, house

republicans had to win. then they had to form these committees. then they had to ask for this information. then threaten subpoenas to get this information. finally we know what the 1023 says. it's redacted. we don't know the names or two of the whistleblowers have given their names now. but, anyway, biden was asked yesterday about the possible impeachment. he didn't answer the question. he kind of laughed as he walked by reporters. watch this [inaudible] >> steve: i just think that's funny. that's going to be their approach. they are going to pretend like the republicans are trying to do something that's just kinds of funny and they are going to let them. but they are going to go kicking and screaming. >> yesterday we got some news about lebron james' son. is he in stable condition after suffering cardiac arrest. one says genetics could be to blame. plus, coming up in a fox news town hall r.f.k. jr. last night addressed whether he thinks joe

biden is fit to serve. >> well, he's never been very good with words. [laughter] >> the decisions that are coming out of the white house are bad decisions. >> steve: all right. more with r.f.k. and why he thinks he should be president. lawrence. >> lawrence: messi mania strikes again. how many goals the super star scored in his second mls game. ♪ with some silver bullets ♪ yeah and i know what they say ♪ money can't buy everything ♪ well, maybe so ♪ but it can buy me a boat. they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have long term consequences.

>> ainsley: lebron james is said to be scared and devastated after his son bronny suffered cardiac arrest during basketball practice at the university of southern california in his first season with the trojans. >> steve: the 18-year-old is in stable condition today and recovering after being released from the icu on monday; however, many cardiologists warning this could be the end of his career. >> lawrence: here to weigh in is cardiologist dr. craig bassman. he joins us. this is the second i want at usc that athlete made a full

comeback. this is shocking on two levels. you got lebron james, who has some of the best doctors in the world. he has his team doctors and then he has his own set of doctors that manage him. i assume with his son being a top playing college athlete that they manage his son as well. so why is all of this happening? >> i think it's a great point. what's going on. cardiac arrest is essentially when the heart has an electrical malfunction that causes cardiac stand still. lack of blood flow to the body. so that none of the vital organs are getting profusion, getting blood supply. obviously associated with extremely high risk of mortality, brain damage and possibilities of cardiac damage in the future. the etiology of cardiac arrest in an older person is usually from heart attack. in a young athlete, usually something genetic underlying, something electrically or

structurally incorrect with the heart that's undiagnosed. >> steve: unless it's the case of damar hamlin who was hit in the chest. he tweeted this out: prayers to bronny and the james family as well here for you guys. just like you have been for me for my entire process. earliy for me to read. one thing that i was wondering about yesterday. we have been doing stories the last month about how hot it has been out wet and throughout the western half of the united states, could the heat -- i know this was an indoor air conditioned situation. but, if you are exposed to during an extended period to te hot weather, can that impacts you? looking at heat and increased risk of heart attack. i think that's a separate situation we had with bronny james because that's really heart attack. most likely his cause of cardiac

arrest was probably, again, something electrical or structural underlying i don't think they relate. it points to any stress on the body whether it be, you know, heat or in a gym and overheating from exercise and intense vigorous activity that could tip someone over who has a predisposing heart condition and cause a cardiac arrest in the patient that's susceptible to it. >> ainsley: the family, i have been reading a lot about the family because now i'm fascinated with them. he has been married to his wife since they got pregnant in high school. stayed together all the way through. have been successful. got married nine years ago. they have three beautiful children she is gorgeous. her name is savanna. kids are amazing. even the youngest girl has a youtube channel. they cook together. the middle child also a son his name is bryce very close his older brother bronny. he put this picture, i think it was on instagram. it was the two of them with a heart and the article talked about how close they are as brothers and they have been

there together. they played on the same team at one point. >> lawrence: last year until he moved to college. >> ainsley: doctor can they all be tested if we have children that play basketball or football can we test them to see if they're prone for this? >> certainly i think it raise as good point and in the national spotlight now that we have seen several cardiac arrests this occurred in ncaa collegial athletes the question is should there be some sort of prescreening not just history and physical examination but also an electrocardiogram. something like an electrocardiogram could show underlying electrical or structural issues that may be -- that some of these athletes may have and, perhaps, it's something that we can pick up in some young athletes and prevent cardiac arrest in the future. >> steve: real quick, full recovery. >> i think full recovery and then the question is what is the underlying etiology and if it's something that is lower risk, you know, shared decision-making to decide if it's appropriate to send him back to sports.

>> steve: well, we hope so. doctor, thank you very much. >> lawrence: thanks, doctor. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. >> ainsley: carley is right over there behind the doctor. she has some headlines for us. >> carley: got more news to get to here starting with this. the search of gilgo beach suspect rex heuermann's home turned up quote quite a lot of evidence. this according to suffolk county d.a. ray tierney. wrapping up 12-day search of the property yesterday. now investigators in atlantic city, new jersey are reexamining the eastbound strangler murders. the four women killed in 2006 are all believed to be sex workers, like the victims heuermann is already charged with killing. this morning on capitol hill, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas set to face tough questions from republicans over his handling of the border crisis. the hearing follows the arrest of a suspected smuggler accused of guiding 15 illegal migrants across the rio grande. authorities say the coyote was

armed with a machete. he now faces multiple felony charges. and lionel messi dominating the field last night in his very first start for intermiami. the soccer super star two goals and assisting on a third to lead his team 4-0 or. >> messi off the post puts the ball, in of course he did. >> taylor cutting it back. my word. he is has done it again and tonight team u.s.a. will face off aga netherlands. those are your headlines. brian isn't here to talk about lionel messi. >> your thoughts? >> lawrence: the worst person to be filling in for brian. >> steve: on a soccer story.

>> ainsley: so glad he is here. we have one of the best players if not the best player. >> steve: sometimes you bring somebody great in they are not great when they come. this guy is great. >> carley: is he great all around. >> steve: from the get go. >> ainsley: last night down on the west side sean hannity had a big town hall with presidential candidate r.f.k. jr. who is running against president biden and comparatively speaking is he running against incumbent doing well getting like 20% in the polls and people are wondering why we want to know more about him. sean sat down with him and asked him if he thought that joe biden was cognitively fit. was he there enough to serve another four years. listen to this. >> well, he has never been very good with words. [laughter] i'm not reluctant to say that for partisan reasons, sean, no. what i have tried to do during this campaign is avoid personal attacks on people. [applause] i will say -- i will say whether

he is up to it or not, whether he is making his own decisions, the decisions that are coming out of the white house are bad decisions. and, you know, the democratic party does not censor people, in my experience. we're not the party of war. we're not the party of the neocons dictating foreign policy. we're the party of the middle class and we're the party of working people. and that's not where the party is. >> lawrence: it's so interesting because he talks about not wanting to get into personal attacks but that's what's been happening toward him the entire campaign and he is just posing simple, basic, modern, you know, democrat -- old school democrat policies talking about the economy, making questions -- you may not agree with his conclusion, but he is just throwing out there for debate. instead they have been shunning this man who has a traditional power house name, which is a kennedy. >> steve: absolutely.

he has got a very famous name. historically the kennedy name is more famous than the biden name. and so that's why it makes sense that he would run as a democrat; however, there is already an incumbent drantd that's why the party is rallying around the incumbent, joe biden. here is a story from the town hall last night where he talks a little bit about the big question. and that is why? whether a qualifies you to be president. you have never been in congress. you have never been a governor. you have never been in the senate. for me, that's probably the best qualification. [applause] you know, to run for senator and then say sean it costs $100 million. and that means that you have to spend most of your time jetting between south hampton and palm beach and los angeles and hang out with billionaires.

my job over the past 40 years has been suing government agencies for corruption. [applause] i have seen disintegration of the american dream and the american experience. i've seen not only the social and economic deprivation that now exists in this country that's like what i saw in latin america when i was a kid and i jeffer dreamed i would see it in this country. >> steve: so the fact that he has never been in elected office a good thing. >> ainsley: he has been hanging out with billionaires probably his whole life too in south hampton, palm beach and l.a. just because of his name. >> lawrence: he is wealthy. he comes from a wealthy family. do i think there is this story of him fighting for the underdog and he hasn't had the succession like most of his party with trump and all of that he is really focusingen focusing on t. i may not agree with him about a

lot of things agree with the spirit of debate and not shutting people down. >> ainsley: definitely interesting to listen. to say they they are attacking conspiracy theories because how he feels about certain drugs or vaccines. he is questioning different studies and reading different studies if you have to make a decision go to your doctor, talk to your doctor about it. >> steve: why does he have 20% on the democrat side? keep in mind we were telling you before like when things got started 70% of democrats would like to see somebody else running for president rather than joe biden so that does complain a lot of it. >> ainsley: is he moderate and married to cheryl hines we love her. the median. the actress. a lot of the bad news for the bidens. hunter is expected to plead guilty in court today. his exbusiness partner could turn on him and his dad, the president, could face impeachment. >> lawrence: miranda devine on the first family fallout. that's next. ♪

>> steve: all right a fox news alert. 10:00 this morning hunter biden set to appear in federal court where is he expected to plead guilty and finalize what many call a sweetheart plea deal on a couple of tax charges. but last night at the 11th hour the judge threatened to sanction his legal team accusing them of blocking key evidence. quote: it appears that the caller represented misrepresented her identity and who she worked for in an attempt to improperly clerk's office to remove the amicus materials from the docket. hunter's defense team responding. we have no idea how the misunderstanding occurred but our understanding is there was no misrepresentation our next guest has been following this case from the very beginning. fox news contributor miranda devine. miranda, of course, at the last minute, suddenly there is this accusation hey, somebody called in, told me to seal that up and it sounds like it wall all

fishy. >> yes, steve, i don't think anyone out there will be at all surprised that there has been some last-minute shenanigans in these case. high stakes for hunter biden and his father joe biden there has been a lot of shenanigans going in to minimizing any penalty for many years of tax let's call them irregularities. alleged tax evasion and now it's going to come to a head this morning but last night the judge was so disturbed by what she had been told by her clerk had been done by hunter biden's lawyers that she threatened his lawyers that they might be sanctioned unless they came up with a good explanation. >> steve: right. >> they did come up with an explanation. they said it was just, as you said, a misunderstanding, unfortunate unintentional between one of their lawyers and

the clerk who -- their lawyers did not misrepresent herself as being coming from the g.o.p. lawyers. so, the judge will have to sort out who is telling the truth and really was a misunderstanding and maybe, maybe this would have effect her rubber stamping that plea deal but it's a lot of pressure. it's delaware. it's j home state i wouldn't be holding my breath. >> steve: sure. at the 11th hour as well yesterday, a chairman, republican, jason smith of the house ways and means committee submitted an amicus brief to the judge and said, hey: before you have go ahead and rubber stamp, this take a look at what these whistleblowers said. i understand that's some of the stuff that this call tried to seal so that the public couldn't see it and apparently the caller said yeah, there is tax stuff. there is social security stuff and there is grand jury stuff. and that would seal it; however,

it's all fishy and thankfully they are going to work it all out. miranda, ultimately, though, this particular judge who was appointed by donald trump nominated by donald trump, you know, do you think it's just going to be a rubber stamp? don't you think she is going to ask a lot of questions? and there are a lot of people hoping that she reads what the whistleblowers said and says, you know what? can we go back and look at this a little more? >> yes, look. that's a 400-page something amicus brief that was filed by jason smith yesterday. and, of course, hunter biden team hates what the irs whistleblowers say which is that there was obstruction and slow-walking to save hunter biden and get him this sweetheart plea deal. that's a lot to read and digest. two other amicus briefs i brief that have been sent in.

>> steve: we are back with a fox weather alert. the city of phoenix is still baking in oppressive heat wave, seeing temperatures above 110 degrees for 25 straight days. meanwhile, the waters off the south florida feeling just, actually, like a hot tub. ocean temperatures over 100 degrees on back-to-back days in manatee bay and everglades national park. senior meteorologist janice dean is here with our fox weather forecast and, janice, they have

never seen wet weather that hot causing the water to be that warm ever. >> janice: you can't even get into the water to escape the heat. the thing that i'm concerned with is because we have got that warm water along the coast, when it documents hurricane season, that is like fuel for these storms. we could see some rapid intensification. the good news is we have nothing right now we are concerned with you about, of course, we have to keep an eye on that. let's take a look at the temperatures and heat we are expecting today. heat alerts that stretch from california across the southwest. parts of the southwest getting a little bit of monsoon moisture, which is great news that will bring down the temperatures but you can see the heat is expanding across portions of the midwest eventually over the mid mississippi river valley and over the northeast. there is the forecast a lot of 90's and 100 degrees. this is the forecast heat index for kansas city real-feel temperatures well over 100 degrees. here is what we are going to be dealing with here in the northeast. we have been pretty lucky. 92 is the heat index today. look at what happens tomorrow and the day after that, 102, 104

in d.c. and that will continue through the weekend until we get that cold front move through. speaking of severe storms we could see the potential across portions of the plain states and the ohio valley and the great lakes for stronger storms this afternoon. we will keep you up to date fox weather.com for all of your latest details. i will toss it over to my buddy lj. >> lawrence: thank you j.d. college towns the next democratic voting block 386 america's 171 college towns have already flipped blue since 2,000. and 117 of these towns have grown more democratic over all. let's bring in our republican gen z voter panel. thank you all so much for joining me. you go to pennsylvania state. why do you think this is happening? >> i think this is happening because a lot of my generation gen z gets our information from social media but also because of a lot of rhetoric that professors have on these college

campuses and the administration of these same college campuses. for example, as reported by campus reform. u.c. santa barbara held workshops for white privilege and microaggressions that only sends a message to gen z leftist message there is only one way to vote and because of our age we are default democrats. >> lawrence: william, you go florida state university. we saw some interesting polling about being proud to be american. i think it was about 16%. >> that's right i go to tallahassee pretty radical college environment. i have seen firsthand what the effects of liberal indoctrination does to people. while report for the institute campus for reform last year i was shouted down by dozens ever protesters who go kill myself and die alone simply for being a conservative. what this shows is that professors are perpetuating both

anti-american sentiment as well as liberal indoctrination in the classroom and it's conditioning students to mindlessly scream at anybody else with an opposing viewpoint rather than think for themselves. >> lawrence: i used to see this all the time across the country. lynn, i want to end with you, do you think we can change this around and what do you think republicans can do more to inspire your generation? >> they have to teach that history in classrooms again. a problem we are seeing all the way down to elementary school. can i ask my peers about the economy or the border and they would know nothing. that's a huge problem because we are producing uninformed voters. we have to kick out dei in the also a room. my board of regents just recently did that and i'm so proud of them looking into that wasteful spending as they say and it's time to get american history back in the classroom and get this dei funding and

programs out of college institutions what's your big advice for the young republican student that's on college campus that is afraid to speak out? >> if you don't speak out now, i don't expect how conservatives our age are going to be able to speak out in 10, 15, 20 years. it's better to have a civil conversation with somebody that might not agree with you at the expense of maybe your social standing than it is to be led by these leftist people in our generation coming down the line it's honestly not a big deal where people politics it's politics at the end of the day. honestly our nation is because of stuff like this. >> what is it about the value system that attracted you? >> as the son of a romanian

immigrant from a nation that used to be a communist nation, i appreciate the free market economy and all the freedoms of expression that we have here that a lot of students don't get to have. i think we need to have more study abroad in maybe socialists countries so they can see the effects this has on nations that don't value freedom of expression and free speech like we have here. >> lawrence: i have got to del you are a powerful bunch. you are outspoken. you know what you believe. i'm hoping that the young person that's watching "fox & friends" this morning is inspired by you. thank you so much for joining the program. >> thank you. >> thanks for having us. >> lawrence: you bet. all right, carley. you have got some headlines? >> i certainly do. more evidence to get through. lawyers for kwame murder suspect bryan kohberger said he was elsewhere where four i'd do who he students were stabbed to death. newly released court documents kohberger's legal team claims he could not have committed the
