new details emerging about hunter biden's failed plea deal and how it was handled. house republicans are looking into the president's possible knowledge of hunter's foreign business interests in places like ukraine and china and elsewhere and the potential impact on national security. house oversight member nancy mace earlier with dana and me talking about how she hopes archer tells the truth today. the interview is released as soon as possible so the american people can make up their own minds. >> the million dollar question is whether or not joe biden was in the room by phone or in person and any of his involvement in any of these deals that we're seeing. we've seen evidence of corruption, money laundering and bribery. >> bill: full coverage on fox. miranda devine with more on that and what devon archer may know. first david spunt live at the justice department with more on hunter biden's latest efforts on

the legal front. david, nice to see you, good morning. >> if you thought the tension on capitol hill was palpable regarding republicans and their efforts to get information from the white house and white house counsel's office or d.o.j. regarding hunter biden, you should check it out today. it is more intense. republicans are constantly being stonewalled when it comes to getting information regarding their investigation. their separate congressional invest into the president's son, hunter biden. expect his legal team to be at it once again this week working with the department of justice, u.s. attorney david weiss in delaware on a revised plea deal or one that provides more information to federal judge mary ellen -- the judge who refused to -- they ignore request for information. some republicans say they want

transparency but that also requires cooperation. >> i believe based on what i'm seeing, these appointees are running interference and essentially protecting not only hunter biden but president biden as well from us being able to fully do our job, exactly why so many republicans are now calling for an impeachment inquiry. >> democrats see things on a completely different plain. watch. >> it is a trump-appointed u.s. attorney, a trump-appointed judge. a very independent and thorough investigation and i think that whatever happens in the hunter biden case, we can rest assured that it was done based solely on the facts and the evidence and that there was nothing else to it. >> two separate investigations, one in congress, the devon archer testimony today and don't forget d.o.j. plea deal that fell apart last week. the judge gave both sides until

the end of next month to come up with something. the question is what and will she finally accept it? >> bill: we'll watch where it goes. david spunt, d.o.j. >> dana: right now hunter biden's long time friend and former business partner devon archer is scheduled to answer questions before the house oversight committee and reportedly tells the committee about president biden's interactions with dozens of hunter's business associates while he was vice president. he described archer as an arch enemy. miranda devine is a fox news contributor and author of the book laptop from hell. do you know, is archer mad? is he mad that he is the one facing jail time? is he mad he has been made to go through this and so far hunter biden looked like he would almost get a sweetheart plea deal and could that affect this interview he does today? >> look, i think the feeling is that he really doesn't have

flying to lose. and also friends say that he feels that he is being hung out to dry and abandoned by the bidens and that's been a feeling he has had for a long time. now that his jail sentence is imminent he maintains his innocence and he feels i guess he didn't want to throw himself into the middle of this controversy but since he was asked to come and testify, he figured he would cooperate and just tell the truth. tell what he knows without fear or favor. i think he knows quite a lot. because he was, as hunter biden described him himself, hunter's best friend in business, hunter biden at one point said you are family, part of the biden family and we'll never abandon you. and he was there witnessing when hunter biden would put his

father on speakerphone up to two dozen times during business meetings with these overseas benefactors, oligarchs and other shady characters and he was also at two dinners in georgetown in which hunter biden introduced his father to his overseas business partner. we reported on one from april 16, 2015, and joe biden denied initially that he had met with ukrainian business partner. but later the white house after the election admitted our reporting, which was that he went to this dinner, sat down and had dinner with hunter eva's business partners from ukraine, russia and kazakhstan. these were people who had given the bidens millions of dollars and they were sitting in a private room at the cafe milano. i think devon archer can flesh out what was said during those

meetings. if joe biden said anything you could pin on him. he is too clever for that. >> bill: if he was on the phone repeatedly, it may change things. republicans have been clawing at this issue for years and hard to say whether or not they are making much ground, miranda. it appeared when the judge stepped in in mid-proceeding last week when she froze everything and said come back in a month at the end of august, perhaps they are breaking ground here, but do you think this is maybe their best chance to prove their case? because devon archer traveled the world with hunter biden. >> look, i think it's one of the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. i wouldn't rest everything -- everyone is looking for a smoking gun. this is not that kind of case especially when the republicans

have only been in power for six months. and so they are only really doing now what the d.o.j. failed to do for so many years. i think that's part of the question and part of their investigation is why? why did the d.o.j. and f.b.i. do nothing in the face of these really grave and evidence-studded allegations coming to them from all different sources? it wasn't like they were just coming from enemies of joe biden are allies of donald trump. this preceded donald trump. joe biden, while he was vice president, was allowing his family to leverage his power in these corrupt countries around the world where he had immense power. and he was aware of it. he was meeting these business partners. he was willingly and knowingly allowing himself to be sold. i think what the republicans have is an ability to follow the money trail.

subpoena bank records and trace what happened to all those millions of dollars. >> dana: thank you for kicking off our 10:00 a.m. hour as the interview in d.c. is about to get started. >> bill: 20 minutes past. move to florida. a long time mar-a-lago maintenance man due in miami federal court today. carlos deolivera indicted last week along with the former president and co-worker accused of conspiring to delete security footage the d.o.j. had requested in connection with its investigation into trump's handling of classified documents. alexandria hoff has the story from miami with more. good morning. >> we're awaiting the defendant's arrival and see if he has a florida lawyer alongside him. if not the arraignment may be pushed back. we saw it with co-defendant.

he is the third defendant charged in the documents class alongside nauta and president trump. they said he lied about moving boxes and attempting to delete security footage from the estate after subpoena. it appears that the defendant is arriving and see if there is legal counsel alongside him. if not, the judge is likely to say this case should move forward on a different date in the future. he is accompanied by somebody there. it seems it might be security. could be a lawyer. that will determine whether we'll hear more today. moving on, his charges came in the thursday indictment. special counsel jack smith brought three new charges against president trump. an account of willful retention of national defense information

and two new obstruction counts. here is trump's legal spokesperson on that. >> what was the obstruction of justice? no tapes were deleted. he turned them over. he cooperated as he always does. but they would like the american public to believe in these bogus indictments and there are some facts that say president trump was obstructing justice. >> the current leading gop presidential contender held a rally in pennsylvania on saturday and told the crowd this. >> they are not indicting me, they are indicting you. i just happen to be standing in their way. what you are witnessing is a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time. >> now judge cannon set the trial for may of 2024 after the primaries. gop opponent former u.n. ambassador nikki haley weighed in yesterday. >> it doesn't matter if you're hillary or trump you shouldn't

erase anything unless you have something to hide. everybody needs to be treated the same way. that's what the american people are frustrated about. >> ambassador haley was referring to the hillary clinton classified email controversy. the defendant entered the courthouse here and see if the arraignment moves forward if he obtained florida counsel. if so he will enter a plea before a judge. >> bill: we're watching. thanks, updates from miami when they arrive. thank you. >> dana: the end of the road for one of the biggest and oldest trucking companies in the u.s. why yellow is shutting down operations leaving thousands of workers out of a job. >> bill: also generation z graduates struggling with the basics of math. more and more companies are mandating etiquette training. does that add up? >> dana: gambleling in college sports is gaining traction. how the ncaa is keeping pace with the changing times.

>> i think it's really, really important that we treat these amateur athletes in a way that's respectful and that we do everything that we can to make sure that they are educated. veteran homeowners to combat today's rising prices. lower your monthly payments with the three c's: pay down your credit cards, pay off your car loan, consolidate your debt with a va home loan from from newday. you won't overpay for glasses if you shop at america's best. they offer two pairs and a free, quality eye exam starting at just $79.95. i can see from your expression that you find that shocking. ...aaaaaaaand, you don't have ears. book an exam today at americasbest.com. there are currently more than 750,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the u.s. the google cybersecurity certificate was made to fill that gap and help grow the workforce that's keeping us all safe. life, diabetes.

really? i'm thinking about to retire in another year or two and you hit me with this here? >> tough times. well, it is not the first time the company has faced bankruptcy. the 2008 recession brought the company to its knees. it only survived by getting pay cuts from union members and wiping out shareholders. it has been a long struggle for this company. dana, back to you. >> thank you so much, gerri. >> bill: 19 past the hour now. americans are betting big on sports. the industry hit $31 billion in the last quarter plus states with expanding laws have wagers up 70% year-over-year. wow. but for the ncaa student athletes competing in these games all bets are off. could that soon change? the host from outkick with us now, charlie. "wall street journal" a quote here from a guy who does risk management.

what makes them great athletes their competitive nature, drive, ability to take risks works against them from a sports betting standpoint. that may or may not be the case depending how good you are or not. are the rules now, after going 0 tolerance for their first couple of years, are they changing? >> they have realized there is not a one size fits all punishment with sports gambling. a student athlete betting on your own team. that would be strongly advised against because that could be considered you are using insider info or teams at your own university. that's something that you are definitely subject to a lifetime ban but different layers. if you bet on a team at a different school. now you are subject to maybe half the season getting a suspension. or even more than that general sports betting. if you are a student athlete betting on the nba finals. depending how much you would bet, that is a tiered system and

you have education aspects involved as well. they are changing it. they realize how important sports gambling to universities and getting people interested and changing. there is a lot of money. >> dana: shows you a map of where sports betting is legal and operational. these states are also now liking that sweet tax money that comes from this, right? you were saying in the break, i thought it was interesting for our viewers to hear about if you are into sports, as you know i am, you can't get away from the advertising. it is everywhere. >> it used to be you would go to certain shows or certain sites and that was where you would place your bets or the information how to place your bets. now you watch what would be considered an informational sports show at the bottom the ticker is going these are the lines of the game and props and all the different apps with different incentives to sign up.

first bet for free. if you refer someone get more money to free. people have a lot of reasons to place bets on the games and makes everything more exciting and interesting. student athletes is where they can get into trouble. they don't think about it. pick up their phone and say this is cool. i know a lot about it. >> bill: you can run track at a university and you can't lay a wager on an nba game. it doesn't make sense. at the university of iowa a major investigation into dozens of athletes. no proof they fixed games but that they wagered on other sports that they did not compete in. >> last year from a linebacker on virginia tech betting on the nba finals, a $4 hundred bet. a six game suspension. now that they change the rules like we just talked about he would have only gotten a one-game suspension. wait a second. maybe i was punished too severely. he was. the school is realizing that and doing something about it.

a lot of gray area. you look at the nfl with instances they had to suspend several players over the course of the past few seasons and they changed the rules. inside a team facilities you can't place a bet on your league in general but place a bet on a general setting. >> bill: the football coach from iowa. he lays it out saying this is not fair to young americans. watch. >> we live in a real different world right now. i think what the nfl has done with their rules makes a lot of sense and i'm hopeful this is an opportunity for the ncaa to reconsider what the quote, unquote, punishments or penalties might be that are, you know, i would say fair and relevant to the world we're living in right now. the bigger thing is there is an opportunity now i think for a lot better education process. >> bill: he said a lot and not wrong. >> he is not wrong. a lot more education can be done. it will be a gray area whether you place the bet in your dorm

room or from your team facility versus outside of the university campus. i think there is a lot of ins and outs to this. there will be a lot of learning along the way. >> dana: fascinating. the schools have to be very clear in their communication to the students. you know the rules. great to have you. let's get to miami. a live look now at a courthouse there where an employee in former president trump's florida estate makes his first court appearance the morning and give you updates when we get them. hunter biden's former business associates to talk to house members behind closed doors today. what to expect there. former assistant u.s. attorney andy mccarthy standing by with his legal analysis. >> he has an opportunity to be a hero like the two whistleblowers were. devon archer could be in that category of americans that come and tell the truth. that's all we want. rates latel? many are over 22%, near 30% if you pay late. why not do what thousands

late on the clock but devon archer, the long-time business partner of hunter biden, has arrived for his interview and this is a clip of that from a moment ago. >> what do you intend to tell the committee today? do you have anything to say? did you have meetings with the bidens? >> did anyone tell you not to appear today, sir? >> bill: not a lot of answers there. however, chad will do his best to get them for us if and when they happen. testimony could go four hours long, maybe longer. we'll see. andy mccarthy has analysis. first mark meredith covers it from wilmington, delaware. thank you, mark. >> the white house is not engaging publicly on the possibility of that impeachment inquiry being talked about by house republicans. aides say the president and his staff are focusing on the job at hand even as the president enjoys a vacation at the beach. cameras captured the president out on sunday with his family

getting a little time there in the sun. certainly a change of scenery from what we've seen in washington where republicans are stepping up efforts to investigate how first son hunter biden made millions of dollars and if top justice department officials cover for the biden family during multiple investigations. republicans say that going to the level of impeachment too quickly may backfire. >> we have to be better than nancy pelosi. pelosi politicized the impeachment process. we don't want to do that here. we have to show overwhelming, undeniable evidence in order to move this thing forward. >> house speaker kevin mccarthy says nothing has been decided and caucus remains open to its next steps. while impeachment could cause political headaches for the president. some democrats believe the process may end up helping his re-election efforts. >> joe biden's delivering on infrastructure, high-quality manufacturing and making us stronger on the world stage and they want to engage in political

theater. impeachment inquiry is the best thing to hurt their chances next fall. >> while we don't expect to see much of president biden while he is at his beach home in delaware through the week, we will hear him next week on the road talking about the economy, white house aides saying the president will be making multiple stops out west include in arizona, new mexico and utah. >> bill: thanks for that. setting it up. mark meredith in delaware. dana. >> dana: andy mccarthy fox news contributor and -- from your standpoint what question would you love to see him have to answer today? >> i would love to see him answer, dana, the question about what he testified to when he was in the grand jury, specifically does the justice department really have a biden investigation? i suspect they don't. i suspect they are saying they have a continuing investigation

as a pretext not to cooperate with congress. we already heard from the i.r.s. whistleblowers they were stopped from following natural leads and asking questions that could potentially lead to president biden. i would be very interested to know if when the prosecutors put devon archer in the grand jury they asked him any questions about the president. >> bill: would he know whether or not there was an active investigation? do you know that based on questions simply? >> well, bill, we know that there has been reporting that he testified in the grand jury. and he knows what he was asked in the grand jury. it is very common for a witness, especially a sophisticated lawyer like archer, to understand what the focus of the investigation is on the basis of the questions that you get asked. >> dana: sophisticated, and i'm just wondering about that term for a second here. he got himself into a heck of a lot of trouble for being

sophisticated and took advantage of people. he will have to pay the price for that. in your experience does a witness like this, somebody who miranda devine told us he has nothing to lose, how dangerous is it for a joe biden who not only is thinking about his son and his problems with the law, but his own re-election? >> yeah, well, two things, dana. first i think he is sophisticated and made an awful lot of money over the last decade plus. he got caught once on one thing that the bidens were implicated but not charged in. as dangerous as this is, i think i am going to respectfully disagree with miranda that he has nothing to lose because he has only been charged in that one case. he has one year of a sentence. he has crushing $60 million restitution and forfeiture provisions. by virtue of what we've heard he

has been involved in a lot of schemes over the last decade that he has never been charged with. so if you are telling me this guy who is a convicted fraudster and what's in it for me kind of guy will go into congress and implicate himself in millions of dollars of fraud that he has never been charged with and that a house committee has no power to immunize him for and can't get him out from under the sentence that he is now facing, the only people who can help him with that are the justice department, color me skeptical. >> bill: so then if republicans were to argue that the pot is starting to boil, you aren't so convinced that it is, andy. >> look, i'm open minded but i would be very surprised if this guy, who is a life long loyal democrat, who is the deputy vice chairman of john kerry's 2004 election campaign, who was in

business with the sons of the secretary of state and the vice president and who has, you know, top democratic connections, is now going to go into court and say you know for a decade i made money by basically leveraging the political power of the democratic party. maybe he will do it but i would be surprised. >> dana: we expect a transcript. they said 3 to 4 days. >> bill: i would like it 3 to 4 hours but we shall see. >> dana: a hungry hippo here for information. >> bill: fans at nashville's grand ole opry saw a big moment on saturday night. craig morgan decided to step away from a military career after 17 years of service and now he is 59. he wanted to get 20 years in so he reenlisted and sworn in as a warrant officer with army reserves at the famed venue.

>> and the orders of the officers appointed over me in accordance with regulations and the uniform code of military justice, so help me god. [cheers and applause] >> bill: how about that? better than a song, right? morgan said that retiring early was his biggest regret. he was on friends a bit earlier today and talked about it. >> having 17 1/2 years of service and then not being able to finish, i always felt like i had kind of maybe quit something and the army creed there is the line that says i will never quit. i feel like it's a special thing to have the letter saying i served my country for 20 years. >> bill: well done. cool stuff. good guy. >> dana: he is a wonderful guy. finish the job and then you know what? while he was in the army reserves he will maybe get new

materials for songs he will sing as well. congratulations to you, absolutely. check this out as well. >> it will take a record and career and our experience to the people of iowa. >> the role iowa plays is supper important. you are driving the vetting process for the whole country. >> the entire republican field descending on iowa last weekend. the comments that got one candidate booed off stage. why more companies are forced to train young workers on being polite. ♪ veteran homeowners. are you applying for a car loan? the monthly payments can be expensive. with an affordable home loan from newday, you can pay cash and own the car or truck of your dreams. we handcraft every stearns & foster® using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam,

and remote jobs robbing gen z of crucial workplace experience. many companies are giving them etiquette training. what are they saying, madison? >> they may have graduated but the youngest class of workers gen z now being encouraged to go back to class to take etiquette classes at work. the youngest generation in the workforce forcing companies back into the school setting. 63% of companies are giving or plan on offering corporate etiquette training classes. while these classes are available to all, managers at these companies say it is mostly for new grads and gen z workers never been in an office and lost critical learning skills during the pandemic when they were learning or working remotely. it can cover everything from how to dress to how to communicate in person and overemail and even how to handle food in the shared office refrigerator.

we took to the streets to ask people what they think. we met weimer. the mother was for it. the daughter not so much. >> my generation you showed up at the office and well dressed. these kids are all about my lifestyle, the weekend, my social plans, my latte and i think it's a real detriment to the economy. >> the belief that things should be office workplace show difference in seniority is changing. it is a new era. new technology. i think we have to have a new attitude for this upcoming decade. >> etiquette coach agrees with mom. the younger generation could use more coaching. they aren't the only ones that could use some help. >> the younger generation sometimes needs a little coaching on this topic. and then there are people in the middle who know the foundation

but may have forgotten it or become a little lax. the young people are more receptive to the session than older employees. >> one of the reasons these companies are offering etiquette classes is they realize they can't fire gen zers. maybe the etiquette classes or i might suggest reading some of dana perino's books. those help as well. >> bill: you could start there, actually. >> dana: no uggs in the office. >> nice to see you, madison. >> donald trump is running to stay out of prison and if we elect -- [booing] >> i know, i know, i know, i know. listen, i know the truth -- the truth is hard. but if we elect donald trump, we are willingly giving joe biden four more years in the white house and america can't handle

that. >> dana: presidential candidate will hurd drawing boos in iowa friday there for the annual lincoln dinner. it drew nearly the entire republican field. here to talk about is the politics reporter at the des moines register and a bureau chief for the gazette. this caucus is getting closer. let me show you here. this is call for number one here, des moines register article saying 2024 candidates are tip toeing around trump indictments and lincoln dinner shows why. why is that? >> well, we heard it in the clip that you showed from friday night. that was really the first time that i've seen -- i haven't been to them all but to a lot of candidate events here in iowa in the last few months. that was far and away the harshest and most direct criticism that we've seen of

former president trump by a fellow candidate. and you heard the reaction. i think it's also important to remember this wasn't a trump rally, right? it wasn't even a normal campaign event. it was a state party fundraiser. representative of a wider swath of iowa republican party and still illicited that kind of reaction. that showed you. >> dana: let's pull up call for number four and go to briann. a fox business poll of republican preference among iowa caucus goers. donald trump at 46% and 16% for desantis and tim scott. do you see any ability to have much movement especially we do have the fox debate coming up in about a month. are you hearing from voters that they are willing to still look around or are they all in for trump? >> yeah, i have think iowa caucus goers keep an open mind for quite a long time. i think there is -- we have still six months to caucus day.

there are big things that could happen to really shape the primary. you mentioned the debates. we mentioned trump's legal woes. those may continue to play out and my change some minds as they move forward. iowa caucus goers have a culture of hearing out candidates, going to see everyone and weighing their options. we have been around to various candidate events over the weekend. ron desantis was campaigning. nikki haley, mike pence. caucus goers at all the places list 3, 4, 5, 6, names of people they're thinking about still. >> dana: aaron. i want to show you this other piece of the fox news poll. a question of a candidate you would never vote for. i think it was an interesting question. mike pence at 37%. we are waiting to see if he will even make the debate stage in august. what do you think is going on there? >> that's not surprising based on what we've heard when we talk to people at these events.
