work with the sheriff's department. you didn't see it. we don't have prosecution in l.a. >> sandra: you think about just the brutal nature of this, it was fully described in the news conference, he was in full uniform, driving a marked patrol car, he had just left the palmdale station, he was heading northbound on sierra highway, alone in his vehicle, stopped at the intersection and we know what happened next. he wasn't there, george gascon, i mean, how do they send a message -- this cannot happen in this country, leo. >> you are absolutely right, sandra. apologize for getting so upset about this, because i live in this county. l.a. county is a unicorn, it's weird. this district attorney has abandoned law enforcement, abandoned prosecuting criminals. we have had other officers shot and killed and the county is in turmoil, and not only the district attorney, he gets backed up with the politicians. the county board of supervisors,

mayor of l.a., they just -- it's -- it's inexcuseable but this is normal in this democratic county. democratic state. where is gavin newsom, where are the congress members of that area. the law enforcement, sandra, they put their butts out there to protect and serve. but there's no support in l.a. county. >> john: you know, it seems clear from the surveillance video this was -- this was not a killing, not a murder, this was an execution. and george gascon has assured sheriff robert luna the suspect will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and you can bet we will be watching this closely to see if indeed that happens. >> i will, too. thank you. thank you, sandra, john, for having me. >> john: right now, five american prisoners on their way to the nation's capital after the u.s. and iran secured a cash

for prisoner deal. one of the now freed americans calling his former prison united nations of hostages and is begging president biden to use america's might at the u.n. to stamp out rogue regimes to take hostages. will the president respond? >> sandra: chinese diplomacy kicking into high gear, a stab at easing tensions with beijing. >> john: hour two, john roberts in washington, we are off to a news-packed start of this week. >> sandra: update from secretary blinken, he just tweeted out a photo saying he spoke with the five american citizens freed from iran today. that just in, john. more on that coming up. i'm sandra smith in new york. great to be with you. national security advisor jake sullivan holding talks with china, paving a way for the meeting between biden and xi. >> john: the pair have not

spoken in nearly a year, and critics say it's the time to step up. >> we have to recognize that china is trying to dominate the world and they will do everything in their possibility to do it. this is a moment that we have to step back and we have to recognize that these are not friends. and we have to meet them with real strength and the biden administration continues to show weakness and that is at america's detriment. >> sandra: greg palkot live in london. breakthrough in the latest talks? >> nothing earth shattering but seems the biden administration is trying to make some effort to be nice to beijing. jake sullivan holding two days of talks with the chinese foreign minister, the latest of several reach-outs in recent months by the white house, discussions described by washington as candid, substantive and constructive, but perhaps where wang went next, moscow, for four days of

meeting. today with lavrov. the chinese envoy used it to hail what he called strategic cooperation between two countries who seek a more just world order. wang's russian visit thought to be working out the details of a possible summit between xi and russian president putin. putin is eager to keep china close. less likely but still a possibility, a summit between xi and president biden in san francisco in november, but there is no confirmation that xi will even make the trip across the ocean. as if to under score finally where china's strategic head is at, beijing sending a recent high of 103 war planes towards taiwan in the last 24 t hours. it claims the island democracy as its own and makes military shows of that fact frequently. sandra, wang told sullivan that taiwan was a red line in any

u.s.-china discussion, a line that beijing seems to be happy to cross quite frequently. back to you. >> sandra: and the meetings are taking place, when and why not are we seeing a meeting directly with the president of the united states, joe biden. >> we are still waiting for that, and that has not happened in many, many months, and a lot of people are calling for that, but really depends on what happens and what we hear from beijing, sandra. >> sandra: greg palkot on the ground in london reporting for us. thank you. >> ransom payment of about $6 billion so about a billion bucks per prisoner. and we are happy when anybody in a place like that gets home to their families, no one can have a feeling but joy, but think about the next person taken. >> john: five american citizens wrongfully imprisoned in iran are on the way to the u.s. as

the cash for prisoner exchange. but biden's decision to release $6 billion iran, some are calling it a ransom payment. morgan, great to see you. always good to have american citizens who are wrongly detained back on american soil, but critics of the deal say we may have opened ourselves up to more hostage taking. >> i think that's true and we have talked about this a few times we have been able to get americans home, variations on a theme. britteny griner out of russia, and i was critical of it, not that we don't want her home, we do, but trades against the interest of the american people it ups the ante and raises the ransom payment, so to speak, for future americans. look at the five americans, dual citizens coming home, it's $6 billion payment. the largest in u.s. history, and administration has never paid this much before to get american hostages home. and if you look at what the

biden administration said, they said well, we had to pay this to get americans home. that's just not true. and the trump administration under mike pompeo's state department where i worked, we got two americans out of iran, for $0. so it is possible to negotiate with iran. >> john: the payment, john kirby insists is not ransom. >> it's not ransom. these are not u.s. taxpayer dollars. and we have not lifted a single sanction on iran. iran will be getting no sanctions relief. >> john: he says it's not ransom because it's not our money. whether it's our money or iran's money that has been frozen and held in abeyance, it's cash they didn't have before the deal. >> and they didn't have the money, it was frozen because of sanctions. so you can say, argue i'm not lifting sanctions and maybe you

are not technically lifting them, but when you are not actually executing the sanctions, enforcing the sanctions, which they have not been doing on iran to the fullest extent of the law, and the trump administration, we had to call and the world, had to get china, india, russia, all of these countries not to purchase iranian oil during the pressure campaign. that's how we got the $6 billion in south korea in the first place. so you can say it's not a ransom payment, say we are not lifting sanctions, but if you are not enforcing them and giving iran the world leading state sponsor of terrorism $6 billion, then we are arguing semantics. >> john: part two of that, whether or not we needed to pay them the money at all. in the briefing our jacqui heinrich said wait a second, we exchanged five iranian prisoners, who don't want to leave the united states and go back to iran. >> why would you. >> john: for the five americans, why did we need to give the money at all.

>> this is the deal that we were able to strike to secure the release of five americans. it would be great, wonderful, if we could just pick up the phone and call them and say we want our americans back, send them back on the next plane. you and i both know it's not going to happen, particularly with iran. >> john: it's the best deal we could get. what we had do do to get the deal. the world's greatest superpower, why are we negotiating from such position of weakness? >> listen, i know and respect john kirby, i think everything he said is true. it's accurate. this is the best deal that the biden administration can get. if you ask robert or brian, our hostage negotiator before he became national security adviser, or mike pompeo, are they great negotiators, absolutely. but, they were able to go in from a position of strength because of who backed them up in the white house. so when you look at the negotiators the biden team has, they don't have that same kind of backing, the same credible

threat of force. john kerry said it made him weaker. americans, current and former administration officials, are still under daily threat of assassination attempts from this regime. we are talking about chairman milley, mike pompeo, and others. current and former administration officials are today with full details of security because this regime threatens to kill them on american soil. so, i want to know from the administration why was that not included? you give them $6 billion and you can't even get them to stop trying to assassinate former american and current senior american officials? >> john: it's baffling, the whole thing. >> unprecedented. >> john: again, great to have them on american soil shortly but people wonder what cost to get to this deal.

good luck to you tonight. >> sandra: apparently growing anxiety from a number of democrats over the biden-harris presidential ticket and the results of a new poll seem to be backing that up. how the party could make a change at even this late date. >> john: hunter biden taking the irs to court. does he have a case? you'll remember jonathan turley warned us months ago hunter's team was set on a scorched earth strategy intent on discrediting any and all witnesses. he's here to break this all down coming up next. >> the lawsuit is an attempt to intimidate the whistleblowers and any others who might want to come forward. working with newday, my va home loan benefit allowed me to keep my money in my pocket. and my service was my down payment. i talked with newday on a thursday, put a contract on this house on saturday. 30 days later, we were moving in. i would tell other vets out there who are dreaming of getting into a home to stop dreaming. pick up the phone. call newday. you served your country.

voters view the president and his vice president unfavorably. if the party wants to make changes, it's running out of time. white house correspondent peter doocy live on the north lawn, how complicated would it be to swap a different democrat in as the nominee at this point? >> very complicated, john. dnc is not impartial this cycle. they have already said president biden is going to be their candidate. so it would be almost impossible to swap him out unless he bows out. >> this president has said i'm running, his team is running him, they haven't done anything to turn around the numbers yet. they are going to have to start pulling some rabbits out of a hat. they need some economic turn around. but looks like they are going to hold up under this pressure. i don't see any potential change here right now. >> and that's what david ignatius got at in the "washington post," a column the president has almost certainly read at least once.

said "right now there's no clear alternative to biden, no seemingly obvious replacement waiting in the wings. that might be the decider for biden, seemingly nobody else." but maybe he will trust in democracy to discover new leadership in the arena. house democrats are saying least for now biden is inevitable. >> i think the bottom line is the ageism piece i think is going to give way as we get to the general election. biden is going to be the nominee for the democrats, trump for the republicans, and the united states, the american voters are going to decide who they would rather have in charge of the government and of the country. >> president biden is holed up at a hotel in new york city. don't know what he's doing there. a family dinner last night in new york, going to the u.n. general assembly, but no readout of his day so far and no real

understanding yet why he couldn't be here for at least part of it. john. >> john: any president that i've ever seen going to the u.n. general assembly typically goes up the morning of the speech, gives the speech, spends the day there, maybe overnight, and then comes back after some meetings. but -- never heard of a down day ahead of the general assembly in new york. maybe we can find out why. >> we'll ask. >> john: peter, appreciate it. >> it's very clear hunter biden's attorneys are desperate, did not expect a gun charge because of the agreements that delaware prosecutors should never have been in the position of anyway, but now their flailing. >> sandra: the attorney for irs whistleblower gary shapley, after a new lawsuit filed by hunter biden's attorneys. he claims agents targeted him and sought to embarrass him by disclosing confidential tax

information in testimony and media interviews. just last week, special counsel david weiss filed federal gun charges after his plea deal collapsed. fox news contributor and law professor jonathan turley. do you believe hunter has a case against the irs? >> i don't. you know, this -- they may be able to find a sympathetic trial judge, but in the long run, i can't see how this plays out because the federal law expressly allows the house committee to release tax information. there's a special exemption for certain committees, including this one. and if you look at the senate report that went into this law, they said that public disclosure of tax information is part of investigations was part of the intent of congress. so, what these whistleblowers did is they spoke to these -- to this committee.

committee released the information. you'll notice from the hearing the whistleblowers repeatedly refer to that statement. they are very careful to say within the confines of the statement, and indeed, if you look back at the hearing, they repeatedly declined to answer questions that were not within what they gave the committee. that was all in compliance with this federal law. >> sandra: jonathan, this is just part of the lawsuit hunter is filing against the irs. it reads mr. biden has no fewer or lesser rights than any other american citizen and no government agency or government agent has free rein to violate his rights simply because of who he is. yet the irs and its agents have conducted themselves under presumption the rights that apply to every other american citizen do not apply to mr. biden. if it's released through the congressional committee, is that different than if the irs whistleblowers are out there sharing this information themselves? >> well, there is a difference

there, but the committee did ultimately release much of this information, and we can go line by line, but it seems like the committee made the decision that this was to be made public. that's why they held a public hearing. they decided that what they told the committee had to be given to the public. and so that's the reason i can't see how this is going to work out, because congress is pursuing its constitutional function of oversight within the federal government. this is a corruption scandal. they are alleging that hunter biden was given special treatment and protection to hide an influence peddling operation. that's going to require the disclosure of some of this money and also how the investigation was handled. i can't see how a court's going to thread that needle without limiting the constitutional function of this committee. >> sandra: finally i'll ask you what it means for the republicans impeachment inquiry

and investigation into the biden family's financial documents and releases. there is evidence the wall street journal says for an impeachment inquiry. reads the biden money trail goes through at least 20 shell companies. vice president used different email pseudonyms, at least 170 financial transactions with hunter and james biden were flagged as suspicious. to say no cause for investigation is to deny the reality of all we have learned about the biden family business. based on what you just told us about not really seeing a case here at the irs, is it safe to say that the outcome of this filing by hunter biden won't get in the way of the republicans' investigation? >> no, no, it won't. it's -- hunter biden is screaming at an approaching storm. it's not going to change its course. the fact is that the house has an obligation to see where this evidence goes. impeachment inquiry is that, it's an inquiry, it's not an

actual impeachment. this may or may not lead to an impeachment. but even the polling is showing that the public believes that joe biden was involved in this influence peddling. we have to find out. that's the constitutional function of congress. and they are going to pursue that money trail and i think it's going to increase in speed as we go forward now because an inquiry is being conducted. >> sandra: all really important stuff. good to get you on all of that, jonathan. thank you so much. >> john: sandra, this is terrible. a gruesome hit-and-run claims the life of a retired police chief, it's all caught on video recorded by the people who allegedly did it. police now hunting for the person who filmed this video. plus, dress code drama, the senate will no longer require lawmakers to wear business attire on the senate floor. senators already speaking out

about the change. >> united states senate, to see it downgraded, no dress code now, i just think it's another step in the wrong direction. >> sandra: so is this all happening for one senator? the washington examiner byron york shares his thoughts after the break.

>> sandra: the u.s. senate will no longer enforce the chamber's dress code for elected members allowing senators to now wear whatever they choose. the move allowing pennsylvania senator john fetterman to take part in votes on the senate floor wearing the casual attire he is now known for, like a hoodie and shorts. mark meredith has more on the updated rule taking effect this week. mark, is there reaction to these changes? >> sandra, there sure is. outrage happening, good afternoon to you. the senate is a place where tradition is sacred, but one

tradition is going out the window, that's the formal dress code. no longer enforced at least for lawmakers. chuck schumer plans to wear a suit and tie but others will not be forced to wear business attire. critics say one man is likely responsible. pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman has drawn a lot v affection for his clothing choices, the campaign trail and events and here in washington. often hoodies, shorts, anything but the traditional suit and tie. two years ago he addressed his style online, writing you do not look like a typical politician nor like a typical person. i even lack the sleeves to roll up. all i ever wear are short sleeve work shirts because hard work is the only way to build our communities back up. fetterman's office has not responded to our request for comment, there's been some twitter posts online going after some of the lawmakers that have called him out like marjorie taylor green --

>> rather be in a pair of jeans and boots and t-shirt. but you do dress for the job and we need to be respectful for the position we hold, and i disagree with what's ago doing here. >> senate staffers have to wear the traditional attire. we have seen it pop up in the past before. >> john: washington examer chief political correspondent and fox news contributor, byron york. i remember not too long ago i forgot to bring a tie with me, and i asked my boss, i said should i go without a tie today? or borrow one? i was given the instruction to go borrow one. clearly if i was in the senate i would not need to. >> well, i guess a hoodie was not an option. look, senator fetterman, long before he became a senator, when he was the mayor of a little

bitty down in pennsylvania has cultivated this working man image and dressed accordingly and made the shorts and the hoodie kind of his brand. his signature. now, most people, if they are elected to the united states senate, they just comply with the dress code. but senator fetterman apparently has decided he simply will not do so, and now look, we have seen creative dress, a number of people have noticed when senator sinema has worn, flamboyant outfits in the senate, but we haven't seen this before, a senator in shorts and a hoodie on the senate floor. and there's a good reason people are kind of upset about it. because it really does affect the image of the united states senate. >> john: one of the people upset about it is not a member of the senate, she's a member of the house of representatives,

marjorie taylor green, who tweeted "the senate no longer enforcing a dress code for senators to appease fetterman is disgraceful. dress code is one of society's standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions. stop lowering the bar." and this from another, awful, the senate chamber is not your home, gym or outdoor park. if you can't dress professionally for work on the floor of the senate of the united states, do us all a favor and get a different job. what's interesting is that this change in the dress code is only for senators. staffers still have to adhere to a dress code. >> yes, the help still has to look really good. it's -- and i suspect, i suspect most senators are going to keep showing up in a suit as they already have. as a matter of fact, you almost wonder, why couldn't they pass a rule for senator fetterman, one member of the u.s. senate and said if he wants to wear a

t-shirt and hoodie i guess he can. but you know, you wonder -- senator schumer, the majority leader the man who made the change, why he's doing this. as i said for senator fetterman's branding, his imaging, goes -- pre-dates the stroke or hospitalization for depression, it's not a result of that. this is the image and the kind of branding that he has cultivated for quite a long time. >> john: however, an article in the associated press suggests that being able to wear a hoodie and shorts and his running shoes makes him happy, and highlights his recovery. but then i went back and i thought oh, wait a minute, here are some other folks in the senate and in the house, kirk, johnson, on others had strokes, and tim johnson a stroke as a result of a massive aneurysm and

they all went back to wearing suits and ties. did not show up in a hoodie and shorts. >> and they were very happy to, and they worked very, very hard on their recovery to get back. i mean, the idea was to not get back to the senate and wear a t-shirt, the idea to get back to the work they had done before. and you are absolutely right. those senators suffered strokes, some terribly serious, and came back to the united states senate. so, some sort of therapy or something? i don't know. it seems like one unnecessary controversial we are having at a time when there is lots of other controversies going on. >> john: should point out that senator fetterman and i have similar calfs and i try as little as possible to show them in public. he's probably more confident. >> that's why we have long pants, folks. yeah, yeah. >> john: exactly. byron, great to see you. thank you. >> thank you, john.

>> john: video showing the moment a retired police chief was struck by a car and killed is going viral online after it was posted by someone who appears to be in the car with the driver. 64-year-old andreas probst was out for a morning bicycle ride when a car hit him from behind, seemingly intentionally. police are searching for the person who they say recorded that video clip. cops already arresting the 17-year-old driver on murder charges. his family and community mourning the loss of a man known for his laughter and fatherly demeanor. alexis mcadams has the latest. i watched this video several times and could not believe people could do this. what are police telling you?

>> it does not just show a crash but could be an intentional hit-and-run. left the former police chief, father and husband dead on the side of the road. watch. and we stopped the video before the impact because it's just so gruesome and tragic. the fatal crash happened mid august when andreas probst was out for a morning bike ride, around 6:00 in the morning in vegas, a path he took pretty often. only a few miles from his house, he was struck from behind and killed. happened right after the driver also, according to investigators, slammed into the back of this white car causing it to spin out of control. all part of the ongoing dangerous joyride with the teens. the passenger in the car recorded the hit-and-run, posted on social media, now at the center of an investigation. but they have not found the teenager just yet, only the driver.

the clip is showing the car shredding down the street and leaving the 64-year-old lifeless on the side of the road as the two in the car were laughing. family members saying he spent 35 years in law enforcement, actually served as police chief out in california before he moved to las vegas for a remote job. 100 people came out to say good-bye and the family is heart broken as police try to find the teenager, john. >> john: you say to yourself what were they thinking? why would anybody do something like that? alexis mcadams, thank you. now this. >> the climate crisis is after all a fossil fuels crisis, period full stop and these guys have been playing us for fools. lying since the 50s, the 60s, the 70s and 80s. they knew and they knew what to do about it to make sure we didn't do anything meaningful about it.

>> sandra: california launching the latest offensive against oil companies, suing them, claiming they lied about their impact on the environment. five major firms accused of knowing the link between fossil fuels and climate change and intentionally deceiving the american people. joining us, dan greenhaus and mark tapper. what exactly is happening here? california is going on offense, they are going after the oil companies that they knew more than they let on. what is their goal here? >> look, i think from governor newsom's perspective this is a political stunt and the democrats are so good, the slight of hand magic trick, look here, not there, better than harry houdini, he's so much of a dud, a no-show to deal with the state's real problems like crime, homelessness, max exodus

of people, and now he's filing on the fossil fuels companies. you cannot have a climate change strategy without fossil fuels. you cannot build a solar panel or e.v., mine the minerals without utilizing fossil fuels. so it's just all a lie. >> sandra: dan, so basically newsom is making the case, the money they have, they know the link between fossil fuels and climate, they know it well but are suppressing the information they have on the topic to delay climate change and the move to, say, more electric power rather than fossil fuels. also accusing them of deception, from promoting themselves as green companies with small investments in alternative fuels while primarily investing in fossil fuels. do they have a case? >> well, wall street journal had a big article on the topic as

california joined the lawsuit. california is being sued by smaller states and parties, but obviously california elevates the issue. the journal had a long article on the topic. do they have a case, we will find out in court. with respect to the company's misrepresenting themselves, they have spent billions of dollars over the last couple of years developing, acquiring and investing in alternative fuels. does that mean exxon is going to generate more revenue from alternative versus traditional fossil fuels, of course not. but to suggest or imply that they are not meaningfully attempting to shift is to deny the reality on the ground. >> sandra: american petroleum institute says it's an ongoing and coordinated campaign to wage meritless, nothing more than a distraction from important national conversations and enormous waste of california taxpayer money. meanwhile, this is all happening while people are paying sky high

gas prices, on the way to $4 a gallon, california average $six, i'll get 100 tweets of people saying they are seeing it higher than that, but aaa says the prices keep going up. this is janet yellen, mark, i'll get you to respond. pressed on gas prices today. listen. >> crude is back above $90 per barrel, the saudis are extending the production cuts through the end of the year. are you looking at taking any action on this front? >> well, the president wants to make sure that gas prices remain affordable for americans. americans care a great deal about the price of gas. they are still down 1.20 off their highs last summer, although they have gone up recently. my expectation is that they will stabilize but we'll keep an eye on it. >> sandra: off the highs that happened under this administration's policies, and real quick, i know we are
