capitol hill. but lawmakers on the house oversight committee say archer revealed that hunter put his father then vice president joe biden on speaker phone at least 20 times while meeting with foreign business partners. archer claims biden was put on the phone to sell, quote, the brand. now, in a statement, house oversight committee chairman james comer said devon archer's testimony confirms that joe biden lied to the american people when he said he had no knowledge about his son's business dealings and was not involved. joe biden was the brand that his son sold around the world to enricht biden family. but the white house is rejecting comer's conclusions. now, they tell me, quote: it appears that the house republicans own much hyped witness today testified he never heard of president biden discussing business with his son or his son's associates or doing anything wrong. house democrats echoing the white house arguing hunter was only selling the allusion of access by putting his father on speaker phone. listen. >> approximately 20 times over

the course of 10 year relationship, hunter may have put his father on the phone with any number of different people, and they never once spoke about any business dealings as he described it. it was all casual conversation, niceties, the weather. >> but republicans strongly disagree. >> the term he used is this: people would probably not be inclined to legally lean on burisma because of the biden name. joe biden. >> archer talked about the big guy and how hunter biden said we need talk to "my guy" when you see "my guy" is going to be here and that type of thing. all devon archer did was exactly what he we said he would.

show up and answer the questions put to him honestly and completely. mr. archer shared the truth with the committee and we will leave to them to decide what to do with it. guys, back to you. >> all right, brooke, thank you very much. >> you know, it seems like who -- whatever side of the political aisle, there was something for you yesterday. because the democrats said, look, devon archer never said that joe biden was involved in his business dealings with hunter and he didn't break any laws. and the republicans said this is proof that joe biden knew exactly what his son was doing and, in fact, when hunter would say hey, dad, talk to my friends at this board meeting right now, essentially he was selling access or the allusion of access. the democrats say the allusion but that's exactly right. if you are thinking about hiring a person, and you say, you know what? let me call my dad, the r nt and you put him on speaker money, it's like who wouldn't want to be in business with that guy. >> i get that if your dad is

powerful maybe some younger people look up to him and they want to talk to him occasionally and say hey, how are you doing? oh my gosh i'm talking to the vice president, this was 0 different phone calls, 20 times there are pictures of him playing golf with executives. there are -- there is evidence of coffee. you had coffee in china with jonathan lee, the ceo of bhr and then wrote a letter of recommendation for college for lee's daughter. then he had dinner in d.c. at that famous restaurant cafe milano. >> that's a great restaurant. >> with the russian billionaire, former of the former behavior moscow. then you had dinner in paris with the french energy company executive. >> steve, you said you reiterated the point that the democrats were making. it was just the allusion of access. well, if your defense is the vice president is not that you were -- not that you were complicit in selling us out to bad people, you are just complicit in a scheme to defraud bad people is that really a better defense? because this all hinges on the

idea of whether or not hunter biden and joe biden discussed what that phone call meant and can you prove that. >> and that's it. and the question is what laws were broken, if any or was it just corrupt or whatever. but it just looks like he was using hills father to get him business. he was selling the allusion, hey, hire me, and you will get -- i have access to my dad. >> according to the washington examiner why would they need the u.s. support. why would burisma want him on the board. he went over there and fired the investigator investigating the company for uption dr. they said that hunter was saying in this article in "the washington examiner" that the burisma boss was connecting and concerned. he was trying to protect his company from putin's advances. they are in ukraine, he is worried about putin. so he wanted to have solidarity with the west. so someone says, you know, devon archer introduces him to the burisma. and he says yeah, let's all go into business together and apparently, according to this washington examiner article, john kerry's stepson was

supposed to go into business with him, too. christopher hines but he rejected the article and in this article he claims there was a lack of judgment by hunter and archer. it was a major catalyst for mr. heinz ending his relationship with these two. >> joey: american voters will sit at home and know exactly what this means. what did joe biden talking about the weather meant? what did hunter biden discuss prior to the meeting? if he appeared the phone 20 times as vice president he was expecting a phone call 20 times. to say understand better what the legality of it is we have matmatthew whitaker served as acting attorney general under president trump he joins us now. good morning, matthew. >> ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. >> joey: saying they were on the phone 20 times and take it from the democrats' point of view they just talked about the weather. is there still some legal implication or path to prosecute what is now the president? >> yeah. well, good morning, it's good to be with each and every one of you. but, from what i can tell, he

had dinner. he had coffee. you know, they dialed him on the phone. that would be the most boring dinner if all you talked about was the weather. even in washington, d.c. as awful as that weather sometimes is. but i think there is actually, if you think about the evolving explanations from the white house, they are continuing to need to cling to a very small plot of land while everything floods around them. that is that they never discussed -- before they never talked at all and now, you know, they never discussed business. i think we need to continue to watch this investigation play out. these witnesses that the house is bringing in have direct knowledge, were in the meetings, devin archer was a member of the burisma board as well. but i still think that the really interesting pivot in this situation is you don't see democrats, except a brand new freshman democrat congressman speak about what's going on

because, remember, most of these people in the house on the democrat side impeached trump it. >> joey: yes. >> for asking zelenskyy to look into this exact situation. this exact corruption we are talking about today. to me, the firing of the prosecutor shokin in ukraine with a billion dollars of american pressure delivered from vice president biden, i think is the whole story here and it's the layers of this onion getting pealed back. it's starting to smell incredibly bad. > >> steve: exactly. with each witness we get a little better picture of the big picture. the democrats said one thing about allusion but the republicans said, look, joe biden has lied. he has lied a lot to people. in fact, i think you were referring to the freshman congressman from the great state of new york dan goldman a moment ago. here is a soundbite of him talking about joe biden never

talking to his son about business dealings and then joe biden actually caught in the act of telling a whopper. watcher this. >> well, i don't think that's what he said. he never said that he has never spoken to anyone. he said that he had nothing to do with hunter biden's business dealings. if he says hello to someone that he sees his son with is he supposed to say hi, son, no, i'm not going to say hello to the other people at the table or the other people on the phone? it's kind of a preposterous pressroom mills to think that a father should not say hello to the people that the son had dinner with -- the son is at dinner with that's all the evidence is. >> mr. vice president, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings. >> i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. >> steve: matthew, that's one of the reasons why republicans say he should be impeached because

he has been lying to people. we just heard mr. goldman say joe biden never said i never spoke to anybody but then we saw him say exactly that to peter. >> yeah. this is -- i mean, again, this is classic washington, d.c. spin. one of the things, steve, that is -- needs to be continued to be explored this dinner with the wife of the former mayor of moscow. because this dinner where they just, i guess, discussed the weather, somehow turned into $3.5 million for hunter biden not too long after that dinner. i know it milano good place for a power dinner. seemed to me joe biden knew a lot more and the discussions were a lot more in-depth than just the weather or exchanging pleasantries and everybody knows, again, what congressman goldman just said defies what the human experience is, right? we know at dinner the broad range of things are talked about and we certainly don't divide in

two groups where there is hunter and his potential client and hunter and his dad. they are all at the same time but having separate dinners and separate conversations. let's be honest. >> there is a kid's tactical. >> interesting to know the trades that are going on behind the scenes, too. i will give you the $1 billion. my plane leaves in six hours. you have to fire the prosecutor and then you will get the u.s. aid. and then that continue everywhere at cafe milano in d.c., the russian -- the widow of the former mayor of moscow, she is a billionaire, one of the wealthiest women in russia. she is at that dinner with them. and then it turns out, remember, when russia invades ukraine, president biden had a list. his administration had a list of the public sanctions of people that weren't allowed to come to america or were on that list. the public sanction list. her name was not on that list. >> steve: handy. >> ainsley: biden gets the 3.5 did you say million dollars after that? >> yeah. ainsley, i think those two

episodes are probably the most serious allegations and there's no way that both those transactions happen, really without the president of the united states knowing that his son was involved in these business dealings. and i know how washington, d.c. works. as you know, i served in two administrations. and i can tell you that the vice president and the president's staff would tell him if hunter was involved in these business transactions or represented these individuals. >> joey: that's a key point. who can they find that will corroborate the worst implications here or can they find a digital trail that will unveil it. >> matthew before you go. let me ask you one more question. when you were acting attorney general during the trump years, was the trump administration looking into the hunter biden stuff? >> well, while i was there, it was russia, russia, russia and the mueller investigation almost dominating everything we did. obviously we accomplished a lot. we don't have time to go through

those accomplishments but from an investigation and attention of the law enforcement resources at the fbi, it was certainly the russian collusion hoax. >> steve: all right. >> joey: matthew whitaker. >> ainsley: we know how that turned out joey jerry thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> joey: still ahead the most shocking thing i can imagine. that's how the idaho judge described the brutal crimes of so-called cult mom lori vallow. the faith of the convicted murderer. >> ainsley: kamala harris raising eye would yous. >> there are reports that say you have the lowest approval rating of any vice president. >> well, there are polls that say i have great approval rating. >> ainsley: we will keep looking for those. in the meantime ♪ i want to put on my boogie boogie shows ♪ i want to put on ♪ my, my, my boogie shows shoes condit

>> jesus christ knows that no one was murdered in this case. >> but the victim's other family members are not buying it. the grandparents of j.j. vallow say they look forward to chad daybell's upcoming trial for his alleged role in the murders. >> we got everything we asked for, i believe. >> yeah, absolutely. >> so, it's all good. i'm happy judge boyce could see through her. her b.s. >> she has hurt too many people. and chad, you are next. >> lori vallow still faces separate charges for the 2019 death of her ex-husband charles vallow who was shot by her brother. back to you. >> steve: what a lousy story. >> ainsley: oh my gosh. >> steve: some twists and turns there. >> she sits there and says no one was murdered. well, her kids is dead. what is her defense there that doesn't make any sense. >> steve: nor when the other guys sentenced.

approval rating. and this is the question and the answer might surprise you. >> there were reports that say that you have the lowest approval rating of any vice president. i'm curious how much of a role, if any, is that you feel race and gender play in that. >> well, there are polls that also say i have great approval ratings. i think the point that has to be made is that there are attempts to create distractions away from the accomplishments of our administration. >> if anything, i think her gender helps her. she asked how much low approval ratings do you think race and gender? >> i would think race would help her. i think gender definitely helps her. i think women around america are saying she was the vice president of the united states. she is a female. she is a woman. she someone at least in the beginning, before her poll numbers dropped, when she was first elected women were excited. >> steve: she was historic. my question is what poll is she talking about? because a recent fullback fox news poll came out in the last month or so do you approve or

disapprove of the job she is doing at vice president. 640% disapprove. 40% approve. keep in mind, she is -- joe biden put her in charge of a lot of big stuff and didn't go well. i mean, she was the bor border r for a while. >> joey: half of your americans approve of your job border wide open and fentanyl coming across it and the problems down there and we have movies like sound of freedom coming out showing in dramatic detail what this open border means for america and you can still get 41% of people to put their head in the sand and say you know what? you are doing a fine job. your race and gender may be playing on your side. they may be finding some empathy for you somewhere because just as strictly objective opinion, she is fail at the things she was given to do. and to get 41% of people, maybe party allegiance to say hey, you are doing all right. stay in there. i don't know how you can point blame at anyone. >> right. meanwhile, in the rails for 2024

on the republican side, donald trump is distancing far outdistanced essentially doubling governor ron desantis who sat down yesterday for a special exclusive with "special report" and bret baier. one of the questions was bret asked the governor about, you know, there are reports that people feel you are a flawed candidate. this came from ed roll libs who has historically been one of the top political consultants on the republican side. i believe he worked with reagan. he worked with bush. he said that ron desantis was flawed. well, here's how the governor responded. >> i came into a state that had been decided by one point for a generation. you have covered some of those races. i govern boldly unapologetically and big results and we won by 20 points. you don't win a state like florida that big if you are not doing things that are

resonating. i would push back what i hear about culture war, standing up for the rights of parents. standing up for the well-being of children that's not some, quote, culture war, that's central to the lives of tens of millions of people throughout this one can trip. it's the right thing to do to stand with our kids. right thick to impose indoctrination in the schools. i totally reject being in iowa and new hampshire that people don't think that those are important. they do think they're important. these families with children are thanking me for taking stands in florida and bringing that type of vibrancy to the white house. >> he has got to do more to show the charming side of a candidacy. he is so rigid, when he stands up there at a press conference and hits back at reporters that call a bill by a name or there is a word like don't say gay that isn't even in the bill. when he is firing back at them supreme respond well to that. that's not a positive message for the country moving forward. one thing president trump can do is weave in and out of attacking someone for something they don't

like and also endearing himself to everyone else. ron desantis has to find that cadence in order to challenge president trump. it's not just policy. it's personality, too. and for every part of president trump's personality that may turn someone off, there is a part of it that really attracts people that are relatively disenfranchised or out of the political fray. >> i think what he does well, like yesterday he was talking about the economy. what did he name it? not the declaration of independence. >> declaration of it independence. too nerdy not make newark great again. >> ainsley: catchy, played on the declaration of independence. economy number one issue for americans. i think when we wasn't down there. we interviewed ron desantis with his wife and we saw him playing baseball with his son and, you know, helping the little girls. i thought thought that humanizes him. it shows he is a dad. not just a tough guy. we know he is tough. we know he is go after policies is he not in favor of and stand up for the staunch conservative. but i think to see him humanized

and to see more of that would help him. >> steve: ultimately, bret asked him a good question and the way he answered it was he answered it by going to what made him the frontrunner like six months ago and that was his record in florida. and is he is hammering his record. and, ainsley, to your point coming out with the economic plan and stuff like that. okay. let's get back on the road and let's just talk about the issues. they too that and then at the same time, you becomes warm and fuzzy part. people vote for people who they want to have a beer with. >> ainsley: that's right. is it too early to be thinking about having a beer. >> ainsley: you are two and a half hours away from being able to have one. >> steve: so close. anyway, more later. in the meantime, still ahead. the suspected new york gilgo beach killer is due in court today just days after authorities say they found massive amounts of evidence at his house. the latest on the case coming up. >> and damar hamlin practicing

conversations. there were niceties and there was a "hello" and talked about the weather or whatever it was but it was never any business. >> steve: okay. well, our next guest has been following this business from the very beginning, fox news contributor miranda devine joins us. miranda, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: well, the democrats wants us to believe hey dad i'm here with this board they are thinking about hiring me say hello. do you think all they talked about was the weather? >> everybody knows the way influence peddling works and the way it worked with hunter biden was he just needed to demonstrate that he could get this very powerful person on the phone. his father, the vice president of the united states. and joe biden didn't need to say anything about business. all he had to do was show that

there he was willing to do his son's bidding and that is what he did. devin archer told us on at least 20 phone calls in his presence and devon archer also was present at two dinners in georgetown where hunter biden invited his russian, ukrainian coagulatekazakhstany business p. people were giving him unless of dollars each side just says what makes their side look good it. sounds like what devon archer said hunter biden essentially used the speaker phone to his dad as a sales tool. it's like hey, look at this access. hire me. my dad is the president. i can just get him on the phone. >> exactly. and that's what he was selling, influence peddling, selling the influence of joe biden, who at that point as vice president had

been basically given ukraine and china and russia by president obama. he was the most powerful man in the united states in those countries. and he wielded the power of the purse. you know, he withheld a billion dollars or threatened to withhold a billion dollars of u.s. aid from ukraine. unless they fired very prosecutor who was investigating the company that was paying his son $83,000 a month. and so it's really disingenuous of dan goldman and the other democrats to treat the american people as fools people know how this business works. they know that joe biden just needed plausible didn't and, in fact, that's the term that joe biden jim biden's spoke to another business partner about how joe biden got away with what he did. >> sure. ultimately, the democrats though say hunter biden was tried to

sell the allusion that he was providing access to joe when he was not. so, in other words, you know, he puts his dad on and they talk about the weather but there were no laws broken the democrats say. >> well, look. you know, it's just ridiculous for the democrats to expect the american people to believe that this was all above board and this was just a loving father that joe biden is checking in on his son every day. will it doesn't pass the sniff test and the fact is that joe biden knew exactly what was going on. this -- is he a swamp creature. he has been -- had been at that point a senator for almost 40 years in delaware. he knew his way around politics. he knows how the world works. he was the vice president of the united states. he is not some naive babe in the woods. he knew what was going on and he

had met with hunter biden's overseas business partners that we know of at least a dozen times in person. and he lied about it to the american people. if it was all above board, why didn't he admit it instead of repeatedly telling us that he knew nothing about his son hunter's overseas business dealings? >> steve: he famously said that a number of times and that's why the republicans say that is grounds for impeachment. all right. miranda, thank you very much for joining us today. >> a pleasure, steve. >> steve: coming up on this tuesday, may the boycott be with you.
