dan, thanks so much for joining the program. a.i. the terminator effect is now available on fox nation. i'm definitely going to be checking it out. thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> lawrence: you got it. so the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> hunter biden is pleading not guilty to tax charges after a federal judge refused to accept a plea deal. >> hunter biden is a criminal. there's no doubt about it. >> that tells you the court has serious concerns about other potential charges here and also the scope of the deal which seemed outrageous from the beginning. >> would you support an impeachment inquiry into president biden. >> no. >> hunter biden's legal woes critics al seq. ler rate the push for impeachment inquiry. >> why would we want to impeach him. >> they want to do impeachment without evidence. >> it's absurd. seems impeach joe for participating. >> the crane's boom fell 45 stories and the 65 tons of concrete it was carrying broke off. nobody was seriously injured.

>> this could have been much worse. >> the federal reserve raising key interest rates by a quarter percentage points. the 11th hike since march of last year. pushing them to the highest level in 22 years. >> we can afford to be a little patient as this unfolds. >> do we have the bodies of the pilots. >> biologics came. >> has something to hide even a spacecraft. >> human or nonhuman. >> nonhuman. >> steve: all right. welcome to hour two of "fox & friends," folks. and we start with courtroom curve ball as you watch hunter biden go into that courtroom yesterday in delaware. he pled not guilty after his so-called sweetheart plea deal on tax and gun charges blew apart. >> ainsley: the sticking point being a disagreement over immunity that would shield the president's son from any future prosecution. >> lawrence: lucas tomlinson is live at the white house to break it all down for us. lucas? >> good evening, steve, ainsley

and lawrence. so much for that sweetheart plea deal. this case all seemed to unravel like a national's park when the rockies were up 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth. everyone thought was over like plea deal proforma. when the judge asked one simple question to the prosecution is this criminal investigation to hunter biden over? the prosecutor said no. and then the judge replied, quote: i have concerns about the agreement. i can't let him plead to something if he thinks he has protection from something and he doesn't. now here at the white house karine jean-pierre refused to weigh in directly and responded with this. >> hunter biden is a private citizen. and this was a personal matter for him. as we have said, the president, the first lady, they love their son. and they support him as he continues to rebuild his life. >> so this plea deal is not over. hunter entering a not guilty plea. he could change it to a guilty plea when both parties return to that courthouse in wilmington for a follow-up court date on august 25th, two days after fox

hosts the first g.o.p. presidential debate in milwaukee. here are the conditions hunter must follow when he returns to the white house or wherever he will be staying over the next month. the judge says he must, quote: look for a job. not possess weapons. not use alcohol. not use narcotics and submit for testing for prohibitive substances. now, one of the big sticking points in the case yesterday was more potential charges coming to hunter biden, whether he will be charged with being unregistered foreign agent. of course, that stems from his time being a board member that energy giant burisma, guys. >> steve: lucas tomlinson joining us from the white house. lucas, until you just mentioned it. i didn't realize that the gnatss beat the rockies 5 to 4. >> i was there. >> lawrence: let's bring in jason smith the chairman of the house ways and means committee. chairman, thanks so much for joining the program. i want to start a little bit on this deal that was going on and the fact that someone called

someone called the court and the judge assumed this was somebody for the counsel for hunter biden. i think they were representing someone that was in your office can you tell us more about that. >> yes. on tuesday morning, i had my lawyer file an amicus brief. and the amicus brief was the 15 hours worth of testimony that the two irs whistleblowers did before my committee, the ways and means committee. because we wanted the judge to have all the information and the allegations that these irs whistleblowers had within an hour my lawyer saw it was taken off the public docket. he called the court. what did he find out? apparently an individual from hunter biden's law firm in new york called and pretended to be a paralegal for my lawyer and said that it needed to be taken down immediately because it had private, personal information by mistake.

well, the judge then looked into it. found out by using, you know, common technology of caller i.d. and saw that it came to that law firm. told hunter biden's lawyer that they had until 9:00 tuesday night to address those claims or face sanctions. they ultimately said that it must be a miscommunication. they would never misrepresent to the court. but this kind of conduct is so typical. these same lawyers, these same lawyers according to the whistleblower's testimony said before a group of doj prosecutors that if they brought charges against the president's son, they would be facing career suicide. >> lawrence: unbelievable. it sounds crazy. of course they say it was miscommunication and whatever it got all screwed up. and that brought us to yesterday, when -- were you shocked, chairman, that two of the provisions in this sweetheart deal, essentially protected hunter biden forever

regarding any future prosecution if a republican were elected president? it would make sure that he was never brought up -- his attorneys believed, on charges related to his foreign lobbying. >> i wasn't shocked it. just proved what the whistleblower's evidence provided is that this plea agreement was a sweetheart deal of hunter biden. and i'm glad that the judge refused it yesterday. it shows that no person is above the law. even if their last name is biden. >> ainsley: what did you think about house speaker mccarthy talking about this impeachment inquiry? he says let's inquire. let's get the information and then determine if there's room for an impeachment. >> it's exactly what we have said all along is that we are going to follow the fact. that's, in fact, what we have within doing in the house ways and means committee the oversight and judiciary committee are doing the same thing. there are so many onions to this layer, and every time you peal off one layer it continues to get closer to president biden. we got a lot of information to

continue to look at there are several individuals thatted into to come before our committee we have asked for 13. however the president's administration is blocking that and we will have to find a way to get them in so we can get some answers to questions that we have rile on this sweetheart deal. and it wasn't a sweetheart. you sent over a transcript what the whistleblower said last week before ways and means. do you think that had any impact on her looking at what they had hammered out why don't i sigh anything in. this i would hope to think so. the reason we want to have her is to have the full truth and full perspective before congress and our committee is very

disturbing. it pointed out how the department of justice delayed their investigation into hunter biden to such degree that the felony tax crimes of 2001 and 2015 the statute of limitations ran. they also showed numerous provisions where they divulged information to hunter biden's lawyers. it's quite alarming. she needed to have all this information. >> lawrence: so, chairman, i want to pivot a little bit to hunter biden's business partner devon archer. apparently we are getting reports that he is in hiding right now. he and his family have been getting death threats and he fears about his safety. i know he is supposed to deaf before congress. have you heard anything about this and are you guys doing to secure that testimony? >> i can tell you it's very concerning. i have just seen how hunter biden's lawyers have tried to discredit the two irs whistleblowers in my committee. the 10-page letter that i received from hunter biden's lawyers trying to intimidate my

investigation, i can understand why this witness is concerned because we have been experiencing it just as chairman of the ways and means committee. they are reaching to all lows into trying to stop this investigation. >> ainsley: what is hunter's relationship with devon archer now? i know at one pointed they were described at not only business partners but best friends. do they get along now? what can we expect when he testifies on monday? >> you know, ainsley, i don't know the answer to that. he is testifying before the oversight committee on monday. and i don't know the relationship. i don't know how they are working. but i'm looking forward to his answers to some questions that congressman comer is going to be asking. >> ainsley: that's devin on the left right there. >> steve: you know, chairman, everybody thought that this was going to be a done deal regarding the plea deal yesterday. you got to figure that if you are working to reelect joe biden as president in 2024, you saw the headline and you go oh, crap. >> steve, they have to be very concerned. democrats have to be concerned

about their nominee for president as president biden. because this all stinks to high heaven what we're uncovering. and they can't be okay with that. no american can be okay with this. >> steve: all right. congressman, chairman, jason smith. >> ainsley: thank you. >> thank you all, good morning. >> steve: all right. 7:10 here in the east. >> ainsley: there is carley over there. that means she has headlines. >> carley: there is details on another fake missing person making news this morning an 11-year-old girl is arrested in florida for allegedly crying wolf. police say the child texted 911 and made a false report that her friend was kidnapped by an armed man in a white van. multiple agencies searched for the supposed kidnapper before arriving at the girl's home to question her in person. she then told deputies the whole thing was a prank for a youtube challenge. she is being held in juvenile detention. cbp agents strong a phony border

patrol truck used to smuggle 17 migrants into the u.s. over the weekend. the smugglers put on fake decals and dhs license plates. the head of the national border patrol counsel joined us earlier. >> we f. we don't have the agents in the field it doesn't matter. those vehicles are going to have to get by us. we have to have the agents in the field. as long as we are tied up with 4,000 apprehensions every single day, we're just not going to have those resources in the field to be able to protect the american people. >> carley: just last month smugglers tried to bypass cbp by creating a fake fedex truck as well. here's a fun question. what is your favorite ice cream flavor? well, instacart is revealing the most pop lamp in each state as national ice cream month comes to an end. i didn't know it was a whole month. the whole month of july? look at that graphic on your screen right there. that's funny. so here in the northeast, my home state of new jersey says chocolate is the best flavor. and so does steve. steve lives in new jersey as

well. ainsley's home state of south carolina agrees chocolate in south carolina. also vanilla is dominant on the math and including in lawrence's home state of texas. vanilla chocolate chocolate. that's how that one worked out for us. >> all the basics. >> ainsley: you like vanilla? [laughter] what? where is your mind going? >> lawrence: especially blue bell ice cream. it's chris. >> ainsley: you like vanilla? i like chocolate. >> steve: you know what? after the show we're going to darryly queen. all right. thank you very much, carley. >> carley: it. >> carley: you're welcome. >> steve: you will see the first republican primary debate. so far seven republicans have qualified for the debate. and as it turns out, fox news digital sent out -- and it will

be hosted by those two, best in the business. fox news digital sent out reporters and businesses to talk to people in new york and san diego and williamsport, p.a. and ask them how important is it to see all of the candidates on the debate stage because donald trump has said, you know what? i'm so far ahead i'm probably not going to show up although kellyanne kind of sounded the other day like she thought he might. how important is it to see the candidates on the stage. >> of course i think you get more of their point of view on things. >> if you can't stand up for what you believe in and have a debate with somebody, you're out. >> we need to be able to hear what people have to say before they can just run to be in charge of the most powerful country in the world, you know? so we have a lot of influence and we need someone who people can hear and be confident about. >> you should be able to defend every and any policy that you have or any question about an existing policy in any kind of a

public debate where you can be asked questions that are not -- you are not getting positive pitches questions that you have been told ahead of time. >> just fair for the american people to know who these -- to know these leaders and to hear whether a their thoughts are. >> steve: and you know, it's not just on the republican side. and there you can see the people who have qualified for the debate. it's on the democrat side. historically, if you are an incumbent president, you do not. >> lawrence: you don't do it. >> steve: you don't debate. however a suffolk poll showed that 80% of primary voters want to have a primary debate and, of course, that would involve joe biden, marianne and r.f.k. jr. >> ainsley: i would watch it. i wish biden would debate but you know he won't they will not let him do that. >> steve: nope. >> lawrence: on the republican side. i'm not one of those who tries to get in the head of the former president because is he so unpredictable. i think that's one of his appeals. i do know him to be one of the people who likes to make a grand

entrance. there is also the argument that some are making, especially he is making right now, that he is an incumbent and is he running like an incumbent. >> ainsley: he is so far ahead why should i. >> ainsley: i hope he does, though. >> lawrence: i'm not sure how the republican voters. >> steve: you know what? >> ainsley: i do, too. i think he likes us talking about it. i think he likes us wondering what he is going to do. he wants all of america to say we really hope he debalts and at the last minute maybe he will get in. we have talked to some people and they have said that it's taking the voter for granted. if you are running and you don't participate in the debate unless you are on the incumbent side. >> steve: it's a nomination. it's not a coronation. that's kind of rhymes. >> lawrence: it does rhyme. >> steve: you know, and he would be in the center of the podiums, because is he in first place. >> lawrence: 30's points. >> steve: vivek ramaswamy has moved up in the polls as well and he has gotten good

publicity, good headlines through the mainstream media over the last week or. so it. >> ainsley: "the washington post" says vivek ramaswamy runs as trump 2.0, an outsider with extreme proposals. >> steve: daily beast says vivek ramaswamy used to rap about libertarian politics as a rap lock ago showed up. >> lawrence: politico says will the real vivek ramaswamy please stand up, please stand up. he has an interesting appeal. he has been out there talking with voters and he just comes off as likeable and i think that's one of the things, he has actually gone up in the polls trump has gone up in the polls, desantis has gone down in the polls. and i think it's just who can connect with the voters, who are doing these small sitdowns with the voters going to diners, going on the street talking with folks and just having a likeable personality. >> ainsley: he went to harvard. he went to jail law school. he started a hedge fund. he will founded a biopharmaceutical company, and

an investment firm. he has two children. he is an entrepreneur and extremely successful. he is funding a lot of his own campaign. >> steve: yeah. he said he will spend up to 100 million of his own dollars on running for president and we will talk to him. >> ainsley: who has 100 million and then you can just -- you know, participate in an election. >> steve: he is going. >> lawrence: i need a loan. >> steve: you know what, lawrence, ask him for a loan. he is loaded. all right. coming up. >> ainsley: coming up. >> are ufos real? according to stunning testimony on capitol hill yesterday, it sounds like they could be. a former navy pilot whistleblower who testified is going to join us this hour. >> steve: but, first, for the 11th time in 17 months, the federal reserve has hiked interest rates to keep up with bidenomics and inflation. the money man, charles payne, the king of pain, come on over, charles. he is next up on "fox & friends." ♪ dollar, dollar ♪ ching ching ♪ bling bling

our economy, it's just almost an experiment. and, you know, when i tell people sort of like imagining your house catches fire. what happened was the fire was all that money $6.7 trillion, hall of fame of that we did not need. we simply did not need as a country. president biden poured it into the country anyway and sparked run away inflation. inflation we haven't seen in a generation. it's powell's job to put out the fire. anyone knows it's great when you see the firemen coming but they do a lot of damage, too, right? the bigger the fire the more damage, the more broken walls, broken windows, broken furniture water log damage and americans are caught between this. our finances, our hopes, our future we're caught in the middle of this. here is the real, real problem. they are still pouring gasoline on this. >> steve: got to get it down to 2%. >> charles: gasoline part. the inflation part. president biden is pouring money into an economy that doesn't need it. still trying to pick winners and losers in business. >> still pouring in billions and

billions and billions of dollars and powell is trying to negate the impact of that money. so, again, what happened? we were seduced into spending a lot of money, right? because checks are coming in the mail. you get paid twice as much to stay home than go to work you get seduced into spending that money. now we get the highest credit card interest rates in history. the highest auto loan interest rates in 16 years. the housing market is all jammed up. so we're in a position where i think i feel like we are living on borrowed time but this is grand experiment. make no mistake and that's why powell's language was the way it was. he's not sure. they are waiting for the data to come in to see. >> ainsley: you have in studio live audience coming in today for the special. tell us about it. >> charles: yeah. it's a special built around my second book "unstoppablestoppabe prosperity." i'm going to make a statement and i want everyone to listen to me. everyone should own stocks. every single person in america should own stocks. you must own stocks in the stock market. i'm telling you right now.

in that crane fire and collapse here in midtown manhattan. all the people are in stable condition this morning as authorities investigate the cause of the fire that caused a massive boom to buckle the arm on the crane. todd piro joins us live from midtown with details on the crane behind him. ha, todd. >> todd: hey, steve, good morning to you. despite those dozen injuries that you mentioned, new york city mayor eric adams said the

situation yesterday could have been much, much worse. listen. >> as you see from the debris on the street this could have been much worse. we are fortunate we were not doing a busy time of the day. the port authority is here. many of the buses move through here. we were extremely fortunate. >> while the cause of the fire is still being determined sources telling the "new york post" the working theory among investigators is that the crane fire started from an hydraulic fuel leak heated metal onto the crane's main deck. the machine 180-foot boom collapsed hitting a nearby sky scraper before careening down 54 stories to the street below. it was lifting 16 tons of corn concrete at the moment of collapse. still blocking the entrance of a downtown motel forcing already evacuated guests to pack their things, check out and find new accommodations and back here live you can see work is now

well underway trying to deal with the situation that happened yesterday, trying to make it safe and remove the debris from the crane. we are learning the crane operator was involved in a deadly worksite incident back in 2008. he temporarily lost his operating license after a co-worker fell 48 stories to his death. but, guys, yesterday, the fdny credited him with putting out the fire before it could become worse before he then got to safety. lawrence, back to you. >> lawrence: still a lot of questions there. thanks, todd. so hunter biden's plea deal is imploding yesterday well imploded after the judge questioned the agreement between hunter's lawyers in the doj. the first son instead pleaded not guilty to all charges unexpected turn of events came after the prosecutor said he is still on the hook to crimes related to foreign business deals. his lawyer calling the plea deal null and void. here to react is gregg jarrett

and former wisconsin congressman sean duffy. gentlemen, thank you for joining the program. i want to go straight to what the judge said when sheside if there was any precedent. the judge seemed highly skeptic of the unusual deal while it had been filed under the provision and he asked who gave you the legal authority and they asked you know, the prosecutor is there any precedent? and they responded no, gregg. >> right. the judge asked all the right questions. >> this was always a rigged investigation and crooked plea deal. the judge saw right through it. she asked these relevant questions. wait a minute, i have never seen like that. is there any precedence for this? she veant actually, the prosecutor said well, no, your honor. and then she asked the other important question. you are saying publicly that the investigation is ongoing and you still might charge hunter biden with further crimes yet, have you got this clause in here

giving him blanket immunity. and that's whether it all began to unravel like a ball of yarn on a downward spiral. and, you know, we will have to wait and see what happens next. >> lawrence: you know, such a good point and i want to pick up with that point with you, sean. i used to be a private investigator on criminal defense cases. when there is criminal investigation deals don't get reached. how does a deal get reached when there it. >> you get special deals like this. to gregg's question what happened was there was an unspoken or unwritten deal between prosecutor and hunter biden that no more prosecution were going to come. there was going to be immunity on everything else but they didn't want to say that on the record. when the judge asked they were like we actually can't say that we can't let the american people know that should be felony tax

and felony drug charge we will give misdemeanors. and with that not charge him on any other crimes. that was a step too far for the department of justice and, therefore, they had to say, listen, there is no immunity here and that's when hunter biden stood up and walked away, which by the way, that hunter biden had the view that he is from a powerful position here with all of these crimes, it's likes do you guys not know who my daddy is? and. >> lawrence: it's always been that way for him. >> it has been. i think things are changing when we heard the testimony of the whistleblowers and america now starts to see the corruption inside of this investigation. i think it's really hard now for the department of justice because t the sun is shining on their investigation to actually do these corrupt deals with hunter. >> lawrence: gregg, so the judge instructed them both to come up with a brief. in the meantime hunter pled not guilty and there are some stipulations with that. the judge is requiring him to seek active employment, no alcohol use, no illicit drugs.

and not possess a firearm. >> i think hunter biden is going to struggle with all of those things, most of which is seeking gainful employment. he has no marketable skills. this is a guy who got kicked out of the military for drug use. he was a lawyer for a law firm in a nanosecond and inflamed out. i mean, he is only good at influence peddling. leveraging his father's power and promises of influence in exchange for continues of millions of dollars. he is really skilled at things like money laundering and fraud and bribery and so forth. so, what i fear is over the next 30 days is that prosecutors will double down. they are really acting as his b.f.f. and his defense lawyers and they will say, look, just agree to the written deal. we assure you that this thing is

dead. there will be no more prosecutable crimes against you and they will deceive the american public and this will be an historic miscarriage of justice. >> lawrence: meanwhile, sean, he is living in the white house. >> in the white house. maybe he will get a job delivering pizza. gregg and i have a little disagreement on this. i think if you put a deal on the record that says there is no future immunity and you have a different set of prosecutors under a different president come, in they can go back and look at those prior crimes if the statute of limitations hasn't run. >> greg: they are counting on not a different president. >> if there is that immunity won't exist because they didn't put it on the record which is going to be the fault of hunter biden. >> lawrence: what a mess. but i'm glad it's playing out for the american people to see and it just shows you when republicans finally fight that you get some stuff done. >> >> scratched the surface all of a sudden this dirt has come out. >> greg: we know 20% of the

corruption and 80% is still to come. >> lawrence: gregg, if they want to see more they can watch your special "who is hunter biden" part 4 which is on fox nation. hope they check it out. ufossore into the spotlight on capitol hill with a former navy pilot making this claim, watch. >> as we convene uap in airspace they are grossly under reported they are not rare or isolated they are routine. >> that man, ryan graves expands on his testimony. that's next. ♪

or isolated they are routine. military air crew commercial pilots trained on accurate identification are frequently witnessing these phenomenonna. parts of our government are aware of uap excessive classification practices keep crucial information hidden. steve is that ufo whistleblower ryan graves former faa pilot and americans for safe aerospace and he joins us right now live from new hampshire. ryan, thank you very much for joining us today. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> though hearing yesterday was really something because i don't think -- you know, i think a lot of people think oh, ufo, it's one of those science fiction things. you have seen one with your own two eyes and as we have just heard from your testimony yesterday, a lot of commercial pilots and military pilots see them all the time. >> it's not quite as rare as at least i thought before i joined the navy. but, you know, we started seeing objects pretty much on a daily basis once we upgraded our radar

systems to a more advanced system. we had then correlated those with other systems and eventually saw them with our own eyeballs. they look like dark gray or inside a cube square. we are almost hitting these objects. >> steve: you got within 50 feet of one of these things. describe the last time you saw one. >> well, i did not get within 5. a colleague of in my squadron had a near mid-air one of these objects where they were flying into the entry point of our area. this object went between two f 18s on the way in within 50 feet. that was actually the first time we were able to gain a visual sighting of the object. myself and others would try to fly up to these objects about 500 feet for safety reasons and they were very difficult to spot. but since we started having this problem initially, more and more pilots from the military have come forward. and i have been speaking with

pilots who are still seeing these almost a decade later in the same place. >> steve: sure. and, looking in, it looks like to a lot of people that the united states government knows a lot more than they are saying. why would they want to keep such a big secret? >> well, i think it kind of goes back to the whole national security side of this conversation. not wanting to reveal ways and means of intelligence gathering and system capabilities. and all that's fine. but the fact of a fundamental reality if our nature can't be ignored or classified. uap themselves, i think that the security classification guidelines that defined what or about uap is classified and what is not, i think that needs to be taken a look at. i think congress needs to be involved so that we ensure that the american people are transparent on this conversation. >> steve: sure. >> commercial aviators have this exact same problem as the military aviators; however, the commercial markets have not

accepted or acknowledged that this is a true aviation of safety hazard. so there is a big discrepancy right now between how the military is mitigating this safety issue of national security and how the commercial markets are ignoring. >> steve: sure. i know you don't know. this could be man made. it could be something from somewhere else and that is not known right now. but i know that after you had seen one of these things for the first time, you were probably reluctant to tell people by the way when i was up in the hornet i saw a ufo because people would think ryan, you are crazy. >> yeah. we didn't even recognize it as a ufo when we were seeing these amongst ourselves. we initially just thought they were errors. then we thought they were some type of classified program. but, over time, as the story evolved, the range of options of what it could be narrowed and narrowed. and we still don't know what they are today; however, there has been work done. the resolution office. the department of defense has

recently stated that about 50% of the objects they are seeing worldwide resemble the objects we are seeing on the eastern seaboard. spheres, traveling anywhere from stationary to 2.0 mach and making extremely sudden accelerations and sudden movements. i think it's extremely important to say that congress wasn't fully aware of how big of a safety aviation issue this was. one of the biggest successes out of this hearing was that they acknowledge this as a national security and aviation safety risk. and i encourage others to go to safe aerospace.org to sign up and show congress just how many people support this conversation. >> steve: the conversation started and you were part of it. ryan, thank you very much for joining us today and telling us your story. >> thank you. >> steve: all right. 12 minutes before the top of the hour, janice dean is outside our world headquarters on this very warm thursday. who is that with you? >> janice: oh, you know daniela, she has been our intern for the summer.

how are you? >> i'm so good, janice. >> where are you from. >> i'm from long island. >> what school do you go to. >> stone brook university. >> janice: nice that's where my husband went so that's a great school. are you having fun so far. >> so fun. so happy to have been here. >> janice: it is tradition an our intern's last day they do the weather. you are okay with that. >> oh yeah, let's do it. >> janice: okay daniela, here's the microphone. i have will be in control of your maps. >> great. good morning, everybody. extreme heat is the big story across the country with temperatures surpassing 100 with the heat index. new york city is under an excessive heat warning and severe thunderstorms are possible for the northeast and midwest so be sure to stay cool and stay dry. all right, steve, that's all from me. back to you. >> janice: that was amazing. [applause] [cheers] >> janice: would you like to fill in for me when i'm not here anymore? >> let's do it. >> janice: well, not here for a short period of time. >> you need a vacation day. >> steve: very nicely done.

great to have you. >> janice: good job. proud of you. >> thank you. >> steve: indeed. coming up on this us. this it's only been done to three presidents in history but can joe biden soon join the list of the impeached? newt gingrich who led the bill clinton impeachment on whether or not it's a smart move for republicans to impeach the current potus. ♪ and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have long term consequences. now as you're thinking about all the vaccines your teen might need make sure you ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination.

>> ainsley: as president biden faces the possibility of an impeachment inquiry, look back at the three presidents who have been impeached and why. in 1868, andrew johnson was the first president to be impeached. congress produced 11 articles of impeachment. charged him with violating the tenure of office act. so, it was the final straw was basically when he replaced the secretary of war. his name was edwin stanton who was appointed by lincoln. weighs as republican who favored the civil rights for free african-americans. he vetoed a lot of bills he thought were too harsh on the south. years later the supreme court determined that act was unconstitutional so he should not have been impeached. the second ones with bill clinton as we all remember, 1998, two articles of impeachment were passed by the house. charged with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice. this all revolved around his relationship with monica

lewenski and he was encouraging white house staffers to deny his affair. then the third one, we all lived through. this this was president donald trump. he was impeached twice, first president to ever be impeached twice. the first one was 2019 for that phone call with zelenskyy. and the last one was 2020 and that was the incitement for insurrection, charges stemmed from the phone call with the president zelenskyy. that was the first one and the second one within a january 6th. let's come over here because newt gingrich was involved in the impeachment of bill clinton. he was speaker of the house at the time and joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> ainsley: good morning, mr. speaker. >> good to be with you. >> ainsley: great to have you here. we are hearing mccarthy is now saying there is a possibility of an impeachment inquiry. do you think this is a good i idea? >> >> yeah. i think speaker mccarthy has 'about right. the next step is to learn a lot more and if you have a impeachment inquiry you have much broader range of congress insisting that people answer.

we have really two parallel stories. one is the corruption of the biden family, the other is the corruption of the justice department, which we just saw yesterday when hunter biden's secret deal collapsed in court. and i think having an impeachment inquiry which may or may not lead to impeachment but it's going to lead to a lot more evidence coming out and the case against joe biden is going to get worse and worse and frankly the case against the attorney general and the justice department is going to get worse and worse. so i think speaker mccarthy is about right. calm, measured, get the facts, do whatever you have to do to get those facts, and then see where it leads. to say but don't leap ahead and assume you know more than you do. >> ainsley: if it does lead to an impeachment, what are the consequences? >> well, i think it's very hard to see the senate ultimately convicting as you have noted in the other three impeachment examples the senate ultimately

stopped them. and i think for two reasons. one is the senate still has a lot of democrats. it takes a two thirds majority to convict and the other is the prospect that if you were to remove joe biden with all of his weaknesses, with the corruption. with the cognitive decline, you would get kamala harris. and i think most americans would agree that kamala harris is a much greater danger dot country as president than joe biden is so, i think the important thing here though is you it get out in the open what the facts are and frankly, the republicans in the house have an opportunity to stop this whole thing by simply cutting off funding on septembee department's various activities and insisting that all the records be turned over that relate to the biden and i think ultimately going to go back and relate to the clinton foundation. these are were two centers of corruption people are going to be shocked how much money was involved and how many foreigners

were involved. these are both cases with foreigners were giving lots of money to u.s. government officials. we deserve to know the details. i mean, if you don't get it out in the open, you are never going to get it cleaned up. >> ainsley: mr. speakers, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> ainsley: you're welcome. we have a big show ahead. more "fox & friends" starts what is this third hour starts right now.
