and i'm going to learn more about this as i am sure many of americans will continue to watch over thank you both for being here. >> thank you. katie: and think you for spending part of your sunday with us if you have a great week ahead, good night from washington.
2:01 am
2:02 am
18. hunter wrote. i'm smiling. for the first time in a year there was an expletive and then
2:03 am
i swear to god will have the last laugh, and we'll see whether that friendship remains intact after after archer testifies today, here on capitol hill, todd and carla, let's be brutally clear here. what this attempt to put devon archer in jail right before the hearing is all about one it is to intimidate. i understand that his lawyers put out that statement that is just trying to like getting good races. this is clearly an attack. empty. to tell devon archer. look you turn on the bidens. you could be in trouble with the doj. it's also an attempt to remind the world and, of course, the democrats and the media are going to run with this that devon archer is a convicted criminal to try and reduces credibility in front of everybody. it's a dirty tactic was sentenced to a i believe a year and a day in jail for defrauding native american tribes. so on the flip side, guys got nothing to lose. when he talks to the oversight committee today, it's going to be a closed door testimony, right, doug, but we make it that transcript later today. it is closed door. we do hope to get at least some indication of what he talked about, if not
2:04 am
today, in coming days, so we'll get some kind of read of the room. but you know we're going to hear different versions. of course of what he said we will. yeah absolutely. with jamie raskin on one side, james comer and the other we've seen it before. we're probably going to see it again. >> hope they can agree. it happened on monday, rand paul paul sending criminal referral for dr. anthony fauci claiming he has proof the former white house doc lied under oath about the original of the virus. dr. fauci wrote, scientists in wuhan university are known to have been working on gain of function experiments with human infection and outbreak originated in wuhan. paul says this contradicts everything he says -- all the
2:05 am
way back in february of 2020. he said where did this virus come from? could it have occurred or been genetically engineered. he says there are highly credible scientists that are worried about this virus because scientists, these are his exact words, scientists in wuhan university known to have been working on gain of function experiment. he says that, we know whole-heartedly the united states is sending money to wuhan institute of virology and testified united states never
2:06 am
funded gain of research. >> todd: this was lie under earth, criminal referral is about lying under oath to congress. he is in charge of the doj right now, biden administration, doesn't appear it will go anywhere, you never know. overall take away is that if we had admitted and acknowledged where the virus came from off the bat instead of cow towning to china to not upset them, we would have spent less time worrying about that and more time on saving lives. >> carley: was it about not upsetting china or covering up the fact the united states was funding gain of function research in the wuhan institute and even in the earliest days of the crisis, fauci is told the nih is sending money to the wuhan lab and told by dr. christian anderson some
2:07 am
features of covid look engineered. he convenes a big conference with a bunch of scientists and they say, it could have come from a lab. a few days later, at least five scientists on the conference call change their tune, we do know their papers were sent for approval to dr. fauci and francis collins. you are look as a wild conspiracy theorist if you brought up the lab leak theory. y were removed from social media, posts were censor and now it is clear that it is more than likely that this came from the lab. >> todd: you made the point it was to cow down to china. which individual? you and i didn't send money, it
2:08 am
looks like it was this establishment of fauci and his cronies that did the malfeasance of getting that money over there. >> carley: just two weeks ago, the united states stopped sending money to wuhan. >> todd: way to strike when the irons are hot, america. >> carley: we have this story, parents of a 22-year-old alabama woman found dead in the u.s. virgin islands are desperate to find out what happened to their daughter. they said local police have not been helpful and one detectives was just killed. >> todd: her parents are here to tell us what they think happened to their daughter, they are here live next.

>> carley: the family of a woman found unresponsive at her home in the virgin islands is here. it was basically negative autopsy, there is no injury, nothing to explain the cause of the death. patrick ledbetter and sharon thrash are lilly's parents and they join me now. good morning to you both. thank you for joining us. i cannot imagine what you are going through right now. your daughter's case remain open and the details are a mystery. patrick, what do you think happened to your daughter? >> we really don't know right now. we know that her landlord found
2:14 am
her dead in the apartment, tried to resuscitate her. we know the police arrived shortly thereafter. we have gotten really nothing from the virgin island police. we were told that our autopsy could take anywhere from two to five months by the attorney general's office. i asked about who was questioned, who was possible sus suspects, any of that information and we haven't received anything. >> carley: shell sharon, shelly was a student and was living in the virgin island.
2:15 am
>> she was on an internship working there and she loved the island and she wanted to stay there for another year after she finished her internship to see what shea wanted to do, if she wanted to continue -- come back and go back to school or stay there for a while longer. >> carley: we're showing pictures of her right now, we know she was an accomplished dancer. she is beautiful and could have been a model if she wanted to. she was working at a animal shelter and working for a boating company. what do you know about her job there? >> well, we know that she had come home for a recent visit in the summer and she returned back there on may 10, which was basically 27 days before her death.
2:16 am
she had been introduced to a man named william tuttle there, to possibly take on a good opportunity, possibility as first mate on charter boat for the charter company. william tuttle is a contractor for yellow bird and he has, i think, another small charter boat. anyway, he -- we feel that basically that this guy was a sexual predator and manipulated our daughter. we have lots of information regarding him, the relationship between himself and our daughter. it seems as though if this was a relationship or something here in the states, we would -- he
2:17 am
would already be a major suspect. to this date, i don't think he's been questions. >> carley: that is your independent speculation, he is not a suspect by police in the v virgin islands, is that correct? >> no, he hasn't been questioned. >> carley: william tuttle gave us a statement. i was looking for a first mate and luck would have it, i have never had a better assistant for the three weeks she was working for me. she learned quickly. ms. lilly could maneuver and dock the dinghy and was perfect by day two and she was enjoying the hospitality industry.
2:18 am
she will be missed. >> carley: sharon, what is your reaction to hearing that statement? >> wow, that was, i don't know how to react to that. after seeing and hearing from lilly and i think she started out and it was just that, she loved her job and she loved what she thought were going to be her opportunities, but at the end, it was not what she thought and she wanted to get away. she wanted to leave the island. >> carley: i know you want answers, as any parent would. we have run over time, really quickly, are members of u.s. law enforcement working on this case? would that help get answers, do you think? >> we're trying to get some u.s. law enforcement involved, but
2:19 am
without the autopsy, most of them are telling us they can't do anything, they are limited in what they can do because it is a u.s. territory or whatever. it is just we can't get information and can't get enough information to get something to gain traction down there to get action. >> carley: i hope that changes for you. like i said, i can't imagine what you are going through. we know you want answers desperately. thank you for coming on. we know it is a difficult thing to talk about on tv, we're praying for you and your family for sure. patrick and sharon, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> carley: absolutely. all right, is your paycheck keeping up with inflation? the majority of voters say we have the latest polling.

2:28 am
amount of spending is driving inflation, butchering cost of everything from energy, food, house nothing our area and we're seeing it. people are struggling, living paycheck to paycheck and you don't have to take my word for it, the u.s. fed said over half inflation is driven by overspending and that is what joe biden and susan wild have been pushing, that ends up being hidden tax and people are struggling. >> todd: if you thought it was tough in 2022, with how close it was, get ready for 2024, it will be tougher. wish you best of luck, thank you, sir. >> thank you, god bless. >> carley: adam klotz will look at the fox weather forecast. >> adam: it is still summer, cooler in the northeast, ton of heat is the big story.

>> todd: ' former hunter biden it business associate devon archer expected to testify behind closed doors today.
2:55 am
is he expected to head is light on then vice president's involvement on hunter's business dealings. is many and push by some for impeachment inquiry. >> i think mccarthy may open an impeachment inquiry because he thinks it will let off the steam with the crazies in this conference. >> this is a witch-hunt. if hunter biden has broken the law he should be held accountable for it. i don't think he is being treated any differently than anyone else who is accused of the crimes he is accused of. >> they have come forward with not one shed shred of evidence. >> will accuse him of all sorts of stuff. >> whether they have the evidence or not. >> joe concha is a columnist for the messenger and he joins us now. joe, looks like a bit of a mixed bag today when it comes to archer's testimony. last week we heard that joe biden has been on dozens of
2:56 am
calls with burisma and business execs. "wall street journal" says he wasn't substantially involved in any of hunter biden's business deals. what do you think about all of that and how this is covered. >> boy, carley, if i'm on a call with my son from executives from an overseas major energy company, i'm pretty sure that means i'm involved, right? always judge somebody by their actions and not their words think testimony by devon archer could be as consequential as we have seen in capitol hill on capitol hill in some time. and, again, this is not so much about hunter biden as it is about the sitting president and joe biden. and the big question is did he profit from his son's profoundly shady business dealings, marinaded in influence peddling of the family name overseas in places like china and ukraine and multiple other countries because, if that is the case, you are looking at the biggest political story involving a u.s. president of our lifetime.
2:57 am
the question is will other media outlets give this testimony the weight and serious consideration that it deserves? and i think we know the answers, it's a word todd that begins with n and ends with o. >> todd: goes beyond that arch enemy, devon archer also calls out the doj for now trying to put devon archer in jail just before he is set to testify. the attack on devon archer is well underway by the doj. they are trying to send this intimidation, this message to him don't you testify negatively against the bidens or you will get what's coming. send a message to the media, hey, reminder this guy is a convicted felon. you can use that to go after him and attack his credibility. don't you expect the media to do that as well as, quite frankly, ignore the story? >> of course, ted, because we have seen this movie before. we saw it with hunter biden's own laptop. and suddenly 51 former
2:58 am
intelligence officials magically appear forward and say oh that laptop is russian disinformation. oh, did you look at the laptop? have you seen the evidence? oh, no, of course not. it's a feeling that we have therefore we are all going to sign off on w. a letter and the media signs off on this see this means this is. this in this case devon archer coming forward oh, actually, this is a why you can't trust, this is a convicted felon. don't listen to anything he has to say even though he is hunter biden's former business partner. >> this is the playbook that we're going to see and, again, if he comes forward and confirms what those irs whistleblowers says last week as far as joe biden profiting from hubbard's business dealings, then, i would think it's game, set, match but, as you said, if the media decides to say this guy is lying then we are basically at a stalemate at this point as far as the coverage and what it should be at this point, todd, carley. >> carley: on friday, joe biden finally acknowledged hunter's
2:59 am
4-year-old daughter his grand daughter in a statement they sent to "people" magazine. a cnn panel discussed that listen to what they had to say. >> it's not republicans, with all due respect, who made lund on a complete scum bag on this and other issues. ignoring his own daughter for four years and the president of the united states hanging up a stocking for the dog and not for his seventh grandchild? >> look, we can also have sympathy for people who are struggling with addiction. let's keep this conversation respectful. >> listen, i totally agree. and do you know a lot of families deal with addiction. and do you know who ends up picking up the pieces, the grandparents? >> carley: joe, what do you think about that? >> that's a great argument, quite frankly. i would love to say that i'm shocked that this is even a debate that the family biden family, hunter biden and joe biden have handled this with any integrity and responsibility? i'm not shocked. cnn believes it's their job to
3:00 am
defend bidens at all cost even where you are talking about the indefensible. hunter biden fought providing proper child support tooth and nail despite being a millionaire. joe and jill refused to acknowledge this child. >> carley: a lot going on with the biden family, to say the least. >> todd: "fox & friends" starts now, joe. >> ainsley: we begin with a fox news alert on two major stories we are following for you this morning. first, hunter biden's former business associate devon archer expected to testify on capitol hill this morning at 10:00. in that closed door testimony he is, expected to reveal that joe biden's alleged involvement in multiple phone calls regarding foreign business deals when he was the vice president. >> and then in miami, a long time employee of former president trump's mar-a-lago estate is set to appear before a judge in connection with the classified documents case. >> will:
