closed doors, he said that hunter biden put his father on speaker phone to sell the brand 20 times. house oversight committee chairman james comer says this, devin archer testimony confirm 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 what he sold to enrich the biden family. andy biggs elaborated on what archer told him. >> term he used was this, people would not be inclined to legally lean on burisma because of the biden name. which again, that was joe biden. >> archer talked about the big guy and how hunter biden said we need to talk to my guy, see when my guy is going to be here and those type things. >> griff: the white house is ush approximating back denying that the president ever talked

business on the call, saying this. it appears house republicans hyped witness testified he never heard of president biden discussing or doing anything wrong. house democrats downplayed the testimony. >> approximately 20 times over the course of 10-year relat relationship, hunter biden may have put his father on the phone with any number of different people and they never once spoke about business dealings. it was casual conversation, niceties, the weather. >> griff: president biden has yet to weigh in on the testimony, spending this week at the beach on vacation, riding bikes. he will remain there this week. house republicans are turning their takening to launching an investigation into hunter's plea

deal, you may recall that collapsed last week, adding to the first family's legal woes. >> steve: devin archer was convicteds in 2018, of tax charges, unrelated to the hunter biden stuff, right? >> griff: that is right and telling them to report to jail. we are told it will not impact any of these proceedings. guys. >> ainsley: thank you so much. if you read comer's, he sent out a memo, a statement, it talks about his take, his opinion and he has takeaways. brief takeaways, number one, it was confirmed joe was the brand and burisma would have gone out of business if the brand had not been attached to it. number three, december of 2015, executive of burisma put pressure on hunter biden to put

pressure on dc regarding the ukrainian prosecutor. put vice president biden on the spooker phone 20 times. during a french energy company and over coffee in china with jonathan lee, with bhr. and joe biden wrote a letter of recommendation for lee's daughter and joe biden was referred to as my guy by hunter biden and something not on the list, number seven on this takeaway, 2014, vice president, hunter and elena battarenawent to dinner and biden didn't include her on the sanction list and weeks later hunter biden got 3 million dollars. >> joey: we have dots, can we

connecticut them? hunter to joe, conversation only one of the two of them could spill the beans on? can the department of justice interview and get testimony and see what their version of it is? can any of this be corroborated beyond the semanhuntics? does it go anywhere? >> steve: in the last week, the white house, before they went on vagz, said hunter biden was never in business with his father. >> joey: very different statement. >> steve: and karine jean-pierre said as i said a million times, that was never the question. it started when peter doocy was at iowa state fair four years ago now and asked joe biden about something. we'll play that exact sound bite

and play dan goldman, a freshman democrat from new york and he essentially says that joe biden never said what joe biden just is going to say to peter doocy. watch this. >> mr. vice president, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings. >> president biden: i have never spoken to my son about overseas business dealings. >> i don't think that is what he said, he never said he has never spoken to anyone, he said 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, i will not say hello to the other people on the phone. if is preposterous premise to think a father should not say hello to people that the son had dinner with and that is literally all the evidence is. >> steve: democrats say there is

illusion of access and he says it never happened. republicans say it was lying to the american people, including the sound bite and those are grounds for impeachment. >> ainsley: if you read the washington examiner, it talks about hunter and he sdroibed devin archer as a "self-made super motivated former lake huron player with disarming charm who raised money for his investment firm," and hunter biden and christopher hines, john kerry's step-son, they were partners with this private equity firm in 2010 and three years after that, hunter wrote he jumped on air force two, in his memoir to introduce dad to jonathan lee who founded the chinese energy fund. and hunter said why do you need hunter to be on this board and

he says it was because burisma boss was concerned about protecting his company. >> steve: you left out the best detail about devin archer. >> ainsley: what is that? >> steve: devin archer was a former aberkrom crombie and fitch. >> joey: don't persecute him, i might have done that, too. >> steve: do you have the picture on your phone? >> joey: no pictures exist, can't prove that. other than me working at a&f, eric adams warns migrant crisis will be coming to a neighborhood near you unless the federal government takes action. >> ainsley: warning as city shelters hit maximum capacity

and all migrants forced to sleep on the street, some in cardboard boxes. >> steve: madison has the latest. you don't have to go far to see the problem. >> no, you don't. we are at roosevelt hotel, any migrant that wants to come stay in new york city shelter has to come. >> we've been here multiple times and i've never seen hundreds of migrants everyday at capacity and we're in a situation where migrants are being forced to sleep on a street outside the hotel, making tent cities. according to the mayor of new york city, this will happen from coast to coast. >> this will come to a neighborhood near you, from the secretary of homeland security, thank him. i'm clear on what we need, we need to control the border and

call the state of emergency and properly fund this national crisis. >> i want to explain what he meant by embedded. mayor adams met with alejandro mayorkas last week to ask for things he mentioneds. what new york city got was dhs liaison who will be based here to strengthen communication between city hall and biden administration, since last spring 90,000 migrants have come through the city. some elected officials say the message biden administration is sending is clear. >> i asked the president for help, he hasn't offered anything, a few million dollars here and there, that will not do it. we get a liaison, that is a kick in the head. the president is saying to the

mayor, drop dead. >> new york city received 104 million from fema to help with the crisis, this crisis expected to cost 4.3 million, that covers just about 13 days of migrant care. democrats are upset this is way democrat-run city is being rewarded. holden says new york city is looking into removing status as sanctuary city and going through the court to do so. back to you guys. >> ainsley: how will that change things? you will not get as many illegal immigrants? >> i think part of the draw with yes, diverting people elsewhere and could make things worse, sanctuary citien moos you are guaranteed housing, if you don't, you are sleeping on the street. >> steve: thank you for the live report. >> joey: trouble when you get what you ask for. >> ainsley: interesting guest on earlier, talking about trends

with boys and girls and political thought. >> steve: that is right, young people in college and you think how do they identify politically and you think they are all liberal. that is what you think. this new survey, survey over last three years show quarter of high school senior boys identify as conservative or very conservative, 12th grade boys nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative verpsus liberal, 13% identify as liberal or very liberal in last three years. when it comes to girls, girlsal high school level are drifting left, rising from 19% in 2012 to 30% in 2023. in other words, when it comes to high school kids, the boys are becoming more conservative and the girls are becoming more liberal and the question is, why. >> joey: i think it is easy

answer, we have someone more read in on this to give an an. this is thomas kersing. >> look at everything, messaging in society, it is like everything is about advancing women, minorities and so forth and young boys are being left out and politicians saying number one problem in america is white men and things of that nature. i think young 12th grade boys are seeing through this and take away pickup trucks and if you go down south, majority of senior boys that drive are driving pickup trucks. we are making and creating this idea if you are a male that there is something wrong with that and you are bad. >> steve: so by extension he says young men are sick of being yelled at or demonized and so saying i am embracing the fact i'm more conservative. >> ainsley: i think i know in

private schools, all girl private schools in new york and big liberal cities, they are preaching crt and gender and all those messages to children at young age. boys schools, according to my friends, they are not doing that. in public schools, i hear a lot of people talk about they are doing it in public schools in new york city and on long island. what do you think the reason is? if you're a breadwinner, you have to pay taxes. these are high school kids. >> joey: i think it is simpler than that, i know we need to move on. dr. peterson says raising young boys is letting them do dangerous things carefully. the society has moved into safe space and in life, everything is about safety, which we need, but boys have inherent, it is in them to do dumb things, climb trees, ride dirt bikes.

amount of pressure. to your point, that doesn't mean you get to do anything you want and joe biden didn't deal with that and he is the president and chose that and he has to take steps to protect himself and the presidency and office and he hasn't done that in his role as vice president or president and responsibility lies on him and we should be holding his feet to the fire and we haven't seen the main-stream media do that or getting answers from the white house. >> joey: you are right. really good news story, you have education overhaul called the learns act. it is in arkansas. explain to us how your education platform could become a b blueprint for other states.

biden had said this was not connected. prosecutor shokin was investigating burisma and in 2015, owner and executive of burisma pressuring hunter biden to get help from dc to stop from prosecuting burisma. according to devin archer testimony, the executive and owner and hunter biden called someone in dc and three months later, joe biden shows up and demands he be fired. two irs whistleblowers said hunter was not paying taxes and they were not investigating during this period. >> steve: what do you make of the fact that devin archer, we saw right there going into closed-door testimony, he said former vice president over 20 times would get on speaker phone and speak to hunter, business

associates and stuff like that. i saw somebody describe it as party trick. hunter gets out a phone and there is the vice president. what was hunter trying to do by dialing up dad on the phone? >> that goes to interesting question of what was he telling? what was hunter selling? he wasn't selling his expertise in business or advice, but getting money from ukraine, china. he had access to his father. that is troubling showing up in ukraine and pressuring to fire the prosecutor shokin pursuing burisma and some of hunter biden business dealings. >> steve: a number of republicans said yesterday after testimony was distributed by both sides, a number of

republicans said that the president should be impeached because he told lies when talking about i never talked to my son about overseas business dealings. is telling those lies about hunter enough to be impeached over? >> no, there is additional information that needs to be garnered, but lies are piling up. he said hunter laptop was russian disinformation, he was actively involved in conversations with his son. the prosecutor followed the heels of hunter looking for someone to help burisma. this shows joe biden statements don't add up and the investigation needs to move forward. >> steve: congressman mike turner, thank you for joining us live. quarter before top of the hour and janice dean is outside and it is beautiful in the
