for information voting for president trump and vice president harris is in many mind's exhibit a of the problem. the different responses says amazon technology is interfering. it is not just tiktok and amazon. so is meet yeah and google after mark zuckerberg openly admitted in the last presidential election they wrongly censored the hunter biden laptop story. a lot of people will be looking at what stories come out in the next few months and how platforms handle it. >> stay on it. i know you will. hill drew vaughn. ready to chase down any lawmaker. >> dana: the justice department is warning it is not just russia trying to tilt the u.s. election. d.o.j. accusing iran of actively attempting to influence the presidential race. what action is the biden administration taking to hold them accountable or force them to stop? welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana

perino and where we ask that you watch us even if you don't like us. >> bill: that was a good line. >> dana: a new tag line. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. yesterday the a.g. merrick garland announced criminal charges and hitting russia with sanctions accusing the russians of funding false information online. meanwhile the f.b.i. has provided clear evidence that iran is engaged in a targeted campaign to compromise the integrity of our democratic system. here is the f.b.i. director christopher wray sitting next to the a.g. on a stern warning, watch. >> knock it off. as long as adversaries keep trying to influence and interfere in our society and democratic processes they will keep running into the f.b.i. we'll keep calling it out. >> dana: fox team coverage. trey gowdy on deck. gillian turner is live at the state department. good morning. >> good morning. the attorney general now is

taking legal action against russia but he is also dinging iran making it clear that regime is trying to medal in the u.s. election and also said they have a clear candidate of choice. listen. >> we have observed increasingly aggressive iranian activity during this election cycle. that includes recently reported activities by iran to compromise former president trump's campaign and to avoid an election outcome that it regards as against its interests. >> former president trump last night insisted to sean hannity his strategy for iran is more and more financial pressure. listen. >> iran was broke. they didn't have the money for hamas and hezbollah. they didn't have the money for anybody. they wanted to get by. we would have made a fair deal with them. i was only looking the make a fair deal with them. >> in light of the biden administration's accusations iran is trying to hack both the trump and harris campaigns. as you mentioned the big

question is whether they are going to follow through with action or not. >> they get we can keep trying to take trump out and have no consequences. they tried to hack his campaign or did hack his campaign this week. they're trying to kill him. >> back in july the intelligence community revealed that iranian government officials themselves were trying to actually infiltrate american protests over the war in gaza. they were posing as protestors in order to encourage the protests and even funded a whole lot of those anti-israel groups we saw on the streets here in washington, d.c. the other big sort of foreign policy issue, bill, with iran is a nuclear deal. interestingly, biden administration has no plans to try to reignite that between now and november. the harris team doesn't, either. looks like president trump -- former president trump if reelected may be the only one who wants to move forward with revisiting that. bill. >> dana: gillian, thank you.

want to bring in trey gowdy host of sunday night in america. good morning to you. michael shellenberger who worked on the twitter files and other exploits, i would say, is really instrumental in trying to get to the bottom of the covid origins said this yesterday. watch. >> we have this record of the department of justice running russian disinformation hoaxes twice, not once. the first time claiming that the russians favored trump when we now know they favored clinton. then the second time the hunter biden laptop where we now know that the f.b.i. ran a disinformation effort to make people think it was about the russians. nobody should trust blindly the department of justice when it says anything about russia. >> dana: trey gowdy. your thoughts after d.o.j. made that move yesterday. >> i would just remove the word blindly. don't trust them blindly. this is the way i break it down. dana. looks like russia likes trump

and iran likes harris, okay? there is a difference between interference and preference. i am more worried about the fact that if you asked most of our fellow citizens what the greatest threat to our democracy is, they wouldn't say russia for iran. they would say it is the mainstream media in this country, which you just proved with that previous story you did with lindsey graham and amazon. those two answers are baffling. then you combine that with google or meta or whatever they call themselves and this -- the hunter biden laptop where 50 different so-called intelligence experts counter manneded what john ratcliffe said that it was not russian disinformation. if i'm an american, yeah, i kind of expect russia and iran to want to mess with us and sew the seeds of discord. i don't expect it to be "the new york times" and "washington post" and "politico."

i bet you most americans would say they fear that more than they do foreign interference. >> bill: you ran a lot of hearings during your time in congress. you may have nightmares about that but nonetheless you did. i'm watching this press conference yesterday and i'm waiting for the attorney general to bring out the easel board to show me the treat on x or post on inextra gram. you have 100 million americans on social media. give us an example so we can identify it for ourselves. why don't they do that? >> i don't know. i had to go online to find these alleged influencers that russia is allegedly paying. keep in mind, bill, bob mueller also indicted so-called foreign russian actors for election interference. to the best of my knowledge not a single one is in jail right now. i think more f.b.i. employees pled guilty than russian foreign actors or members of the trump

family. in the last alleged russian collusion story. i don't know why he won't share the information unless he just doesn't have it. i do give them credit for saying iran also has a preference, it is just for the other candidate. but people are skeptical of this whole russian collusion thing. we lived through that in 2016. it cast a cloud over trump's entire presidency and there are still members in the mainstream media that still believe it. >> bill: i'm saying if it's that deefshous, share it with us so we can identify it ourselves. >> dana: could you talk about the status of the trump court cases? we have a situation where if we can put up on the board here you can see all these ones. documents case, january 6th case, the hush money case, carroll case and new york civil trial case. >> i think the one that's most important is whether or not he

will be sentenced. if he is sentenced to an active prison term, that would be the best thing that has happened to his campaign in months and months. it might even insure his electoral success. juan merchan is no republican. "the new york times" tells us see a moderate democrat. i'm not sure how they define moderate. if he sentences donald trump to an active prison sentence in light of all the things in new york you can get away with without seeing the inside of a prison cell, he will guarantee trump's election as the president and i think that's not what he wants. so it wouldn't shock me to see it postponed. >> bill: we have breaking news on this now. want to go to david spunt for the information where the former president has entered a plea in court. take it away. >> plea of not guilty on those charges relating to accusations of trying to overturn the 2020 election. this is the first case here in this matter, the first matter in

this case in 2024. the case was essentially on ice for all of 2024 because of the supreme court, judge just took the been much behind me ten minutes ago and speaking with one of president trump's attorneys and said that president trump pleads not guilty to the superseding indictment, the same four core charges but different allegations and descriptions of some of those charges. right now a trial ending before the election on november 5th is next to impossible. however, it is possible that a trial begins before november 5th and finishes between the election and inauguration. if donald trump wins in november expect this case to go away when he takes office. he can have it dismissed or charges dropped. if kamala harris wins the trial will become a reality at some point. waiting to see what judge decides on that. attorney general merrick garland appointed jack smith as special counsel in late 2022. smith indicted trump last august of 2023 and slapped on that

superseding indictment a couple of weeks ago. the same charges with slightly different ways and allegations to get to those charges. trump has said the case should be dropped. the attorney general garland was asked about jack smith in the process yesterday. watch. >> i stand by the actions of the special counsel. the superseding indictment is an effort to respond to the direct instructions of the supreme court as to how to have a new indictment in an ongoing case. >> it's notable for those criticized jack smith over the past two years he is leaving it up to the judge not pushing to get it done before the election and leaving it in the judge's hands. it is up to her and we should know where we go from here. >> bill: she will make that decision today? >> she just said likely that she will have a scheduling order today which would lay out the next few months. i'm not sure if we have an actual trial date today but she did say she would put out a

written order we're being told of where she wants to move forward with this. we're already in september. it will be hard and the trump team doesn't seem like they are worried about a trial before november. >> bill: want to get back to trey gowdy. what does she decide stays in or is tossed out based on the immunity ruling from the supreme court? >> not a chance in the world. i think it even starts between now and the election. there are lots of ways to tap the brakes if you are defense counsel. she hasn't had evidentiary hearings yet to separate official acts from unofficial acts. from those acts in the periphery or that zone of indifference that roberts talked about in his immunity majority opinion. i see no way this thing gets tried between now and the election. don't forget, you have this district court judge in florida that says special counsel violates the appointments clause. at some point some court of appeals will have to reconcile that and then ultimately maybe

the supreme court. so i get that it is breaking news. i see no way this case gets tried between now and november. >> bill: we need to go to law school, dana. >> dana: or just keeping asking dumb questions to our trial lawyers that we love. >> bill: nice to see you, thank you. >> dana: new video from the terror tunnel in rafah where the six hostages were executed last weekend. the shaft of the tunnel discovered in a child's room. stuffed animals and paintings on the wall serving as a disguise for the horrors that lay behind it. meantime israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahue is rebutting claims that cease-fire talks are 90% done. he says the ball is firmly in the court of hamas. >> there is a story, a narrative out there there is a deal out there. in fact, while we agreed in july and in may and july and in august to a deal and to an american proposal, hamas has

consistently said no to every one of them. they don't agree to anything. not to the philadelphia corridor, not to the keys of exchanging hostages for jailed terrorists, not to anything. that's just a false narrative. they just want us out of gaza so they can retake gaza and do as they vow to do. >> dana: among the biggest sticking points for a deal the key corridor along the gaza and egypt border. hamas uses it to smuggle in weapons and fighters and therefore the idf needs to keep control there according to israel. that's ongoing. >> bill: apparently anti-semitism the very lifeblood of hamas now a big victory for that terror group's sporters. the oversight board at facebook says a slur calling for the destruction of the jewish state from the river to the sea apparently is okay. it's not hate speech. we'll dig in on that coming up. >> dana: big tech facing renewed scrutiny for leaning liberal is

amazon's alexa giving users reasons to vote for kamala harris? >> bill: why a major american automaker is facing a lawsuit for allegedly violating the privacy of you, the driver, the owner of your vehicle, and then cashing in on your information. >> every movement you make behind the wheel can be tracked whether it's advertisers, insurance companies, even when police in multiple cases have gotten this data from car companies and used it to prosecute people. can neuriva support your brain health? mary, janet, hey!!

>> bill: no briefing out of georgia yet. we're waiting. we're getting new details on the school shooting that killed four people in georgia yesterday. two teachers and two students. the f.b.i. did receive an anonymous tip a year ago about the suspect making threats online. now the bureau passed that on to

the local sheriff's department in the county in georgia. an officer visited the suspect and his father at their home apparently. the officer recommended the family keep is suspect out of school until the matter was resolved. the father then replied his son's last day of school was the previous friday. the officer also addressing what he calls inconsistent information found in the f.b.i. tip. we're passing that along as we get it. trying to piece this story together. all these questions will be before members of law enforcement and the f.b.i. once they are prepared for their briefing for today. right now nothing on the schedule but we'll let you know when that comes up. dana. >> dana: big automakers are being sued over claims cars are spying on drivers and selling that data without their knowledge or consent. douglas kennedy is here with more. good to see you. >> good to see you, dana. people used to use their cars to get away.

now this driver in michigan wants to get away from her car. like most people, your car is like your home. you are supposed to feel like it is yours. supposed to feel safe inside. >> amen, yes, i do want to feel safe. i used to. but i don't feel safe anymore. >> in 2020, 78-year-old michigan grandmother karen bought this chevy corvette. after a few years of no accident driving, her insurance rate nearly doubled. >> there was no reason for them to raise our rates as high as they did. >> karen soon discovered her car had been gathering her driving information including fast accelerations and hard brakes. so this is a print-out of gm's on star that you didn't sign up for and didn't know they were monitoring you and didn't know they were selling your information. >> no, i did not know they were

selling it. i felt invaded. >> she is one of thousands now suing gm and other carmakers for monitoring drivers without consent and selling private data without compensation, including lexus, mercedes and tesla. >> albert khan is a privacy activist in new york. they're becoming ground 0 for a total surveillance society. >> connecting to on star. >> every movement you make behind the wheel can be tracked whether it's advertisers, insurance companies, or even when police in multiple cases have gotten this data from car companies and used it to prosecute people. >> gm says it has discontinued smart driver on star data collection. stating customer trust is a priority. but even if the lawsuits are

successful, karen says she won't be able to forgive or forget. >> they didn't ask me. they didn't have my permission and that's what makes me so mad is that they didn't ask me. they have no respect for my privacy. >> a right to privacy she says she will never expect again. back to you, dana and bill. >> dana: fascinating story. thank you, douglas. >> bill: now from your garage to your living room in concerns or big techies influence in the election after this viral video of alexa made by same sten. watch. >> alexa, why should i vote for donald trump? >> i cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or specific candidate. >> alexa, why should i vote for kamala harris? >> there are many reasons to vote for kamala harris. the most significant may be that she is a woman of color overcome numerous obstacles to become a

leader in her field. >> bill: whoops. nice to see you in california today, kara. good morning to you. amazon's statement. they said it was an error that was quickly fixed. how does this happen, kara? >> it happens through a variety of ways unfortunately it seems to be happening every election season, presidential, mid-term and the mistakes as others have pointed out, they only go in one direction. when i looked at facebook, when we look through our content moderation procedures and we work through our processes, we had a combination of human review and automation but behind that automation is a human. these are programmers that are actually coding the algorithms and building the internal tools and infusing them with their values and catching things frankly that don't seem to help the left and putting them up as errors that only go in the direction to hurt the right like with google when it came to the

trump assassination attempt and it down ranked search results for what happened to trump and didn't surface those remotes at all? google. facebook labeling the trump defiant fist picture as potentially altered so it doesn't show up in people's feeds when it happens. again with alexa, now we have all the big tech companies doing what they did in 2020 and trying to influence the outcome of the election. >> bill: i want to ask you a question about meta in a second. lindsey graham is putting amazon on notice saying he is radically different responses say amazon technology is interfering with the election for one political candidate. it will be a story for 61 days and perhaps beyond and we'll stay on it. meta has an oversight board and apparently this board created several years ago is to i guess police is not the best word to use here but to make sure that stuff that goes on their site

passes the review board, all right? here is the headline. meta 's oversight board rules from the river to the sea is not necessarily hate speech. now the river to the sea is the jordan river to the eastern mediterranean, israel. that's what hamas chants. why would the oversight board say this is okay? >> because big tech companies have bent the knee to the globalists. if you look at the composition of the oversight board, they are drawing in people from international institutions and basically saying we are the experts. we are the arbiters of truth in this case and we will determine what you americans can see. what is actually right and what is actually wrong. and they are people who don't necessarily have american values. this is the big problem when it comes to these big tech companies. i talked about this with you before. they may be incorp rafted in delaware but they see themselves

as responsible to a global constituency first and foremost, not americans. we have to get back to what i would call the ethos of the little tech companies these days. the companies unapologetically pro-am can and start infusing our tech with that kind of ethos and those values or else we'll keep getting decisions like this from the oversight board that are erroneous and detestable on their face. >> bill: they will feel some heat for sure. thank you for coming back. thank you. >> dana: suspect arrested in the killing of four people at a georgia high school was on the f.b.i.'s radar for more than a year. what the bureau investigated him for at that time. plus vice president harris breaking from president biden on a key tax proposal. what it says about her evolving strategy. right back. >> she is the president's vice president and very proud of the record that they have accomplished together. she have is her own candidate and she has her own views of these things. ay just dropped the

>> bill: you've been hearing about pennsylvania for a good reason. keystone state with 19 electoral votes could hold the key to either side, harris or trample. what i want to show you now. later today allegany county, pittsburgh, where kamala harris goes and stay until next tuesday's debate which takes place on the other side of the state in philadelphia. if you were with us yesterday i divided the state in two, right? look to the eastern half of pennsylvania, joe biden did a lot better, all right, in 2020. you look to the western half, that's where donald trump did really, really well. want to show you one little example about the election and the outcome in pennsylvania between 2020 against joe biden and what happened with hillary clinton and donald trump in 2016, okay? i will focus on three specific counties, all right? this is pittsburgh, allegany county. the winner that year went to joe biden. he won the county by 20 points, okay? go back to 2016, watch this

number with hillary clinton and see how it changes. she only won the county by 16 points. you see the difference. biden drove up the margin of a vote he got in a very blue part of the county -- state. that county in that state. here is another example. butler county here where the assassination attempt occurred, all right? trump rural pennsylvania now. trump 37.5 points driving up those numbers in the rural area. that was 2016. i will change this now to 2020 and show you what joe biden did. he cut his margin down by five percentage points now which cuts down the overall vote. give you one more example. beaver county here northwest of pittsburgh. go ahead and change that right there. maybe it works. okay. we were in chicago when tim walz and kamala harris went to beaver county. why are they going there? part of the strategy for harris is to go to some of these rural areas like she did in georgia around savannah last week and

try and drive down the numbers like biden did in 2020, okay? so this is beaver county. trump is an easy winner 18 percentage points. you go back to 2016, make sure this thing, beaver county. he won it by 20 points, okay? you have two rural counties now where biden is cutting into the margin. if you go to the overall outcome in 2020, when you are talking about 1.2 percentage points that computes to 81,660 votes out of millions of votes cast it makes a difference in these small areas, the blue dots that we see, whether it's philadelphia or whether it's pittsburgh. makes a big difference in the end in a state considered to be a toss-up as of now. we'll dive in on that a little more and take you across the state later. we'll do that sometime tomorrow. >> dana: let's bring in former obama campaign manager. pennsylvania, would you agree

that's the one for all the marbles? >> i would. bill in front of a map makes me excited. this is good in the morning, dana. >> dana: there is pennsylvania. i did want to ask you about new hampshire. before biden pulled out, there were sort of inklings that trump might be able to win new hampshire, for example. democrats had been fine there for a while. harris comes in and looks like everything is fine. harris goes there yesterday. do you think that new hampshire is still in play or have democrats taken that off the map for donald trump? >> i think the map is off for donald trump in new hampshire. the democrats have a lead there. i'm happy they aren't taking anything for granted. you have her going straight at these things saying let's make sure. if you are going to announce a tax plan, which she did yesterday, do it in new hampshire where tax is the number one issue and get this thing over. what they did was really smart

politics. >> dana: one of the things that is happening is fascinating story in the last couple of weeks i'm paying attention to, the number of retirees saying that they can no longer afford because of the cost of living increases are going up and they are on a fixed income so that's the fastest growing group of job seekers in america. here is t. rowe price. 20% of retirees are working full or part-time. what is her message to them and what will they do there? the last 3 1/2 years is what led these people to have to go back to work. >> middle class tax cuts making sure that they get to keep a little bit more out of their pay here and growing an economy, goldman sachs estimates the harris plan will grow the economy more than the trump plan. that's what the message is to these voters. part of these struggle is older white voters where joe biden is doing better than she is right now. she has to address this and she did yesterday in her announcement. you are on to one of the

challenges. election for her, the older white voters that love joe biden and waiting to figure out what to do in this election. >> dana: do you think she has done enough to talk to them? we have only had the one interview with cnn which i don't thing was nothing to right home about but didn't seem to answer the mail which put so much pressure on her for that debate next week. >> it's why they want the debate so bad, right? they were willing to agree to all of trump's terms. they want this debate. they want to speak to the 20% of undecided voters who don't have an opinion on her yet and waiting to figure out what to do. so it's why they bent over backwards making sure trump didn't cancel the debate. the harris campaign wants this debate. >> dana: why do you think she is having trouble and under performing with some of those blocks that biden was able to win handily in 2020? harris 2024 struggling with some of them. white voters and some black

voter support that went to trump hasn't come back either. >> it has in the battleground states and why she has had a good month in polling she consolidated the democratic base. gone are the times when you and bill and i were talking about the democrats' challenges with young voters and latino and african-american voters in the battlegrounds states. they're at the numbers they need and focus on the swing women voters that you and i talk about all the time so pissed about the abortion decision. that's kamala's big focus and what she has to do to win the election. >> what do you think is the one thing she has to do at the debate next week? >> get ready to not freak out when he hits her. he is the best counter puncher in the history of american politics. he is better at it. ask marco rubio and ted cruz. what he has got to do now is drag her down with him. he is not going to convince a

bunch of people he is a new donald trump. he has to drag her down. he will come at her with everything and so she has to just take a deep breath, not try to answer every charge here and stick to her message. it is hard. he have is the favorite in the debate because he is so good at rattleling his opponents. >> dana: david plouffe says she is an underdog. do you agree? >> i agree. >> third time running for president. americans know who he is and a rock solid base. a very close election but going into this debate it is his to lose. >> dana: thanks for getting up for us this morning out there on the west coast. we appreciate you. thanks. >> thank you. >> dana: fox news will simulcast the presidential debate between harris and trump. you can watch it tuesday at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. ♪

>> bill: the harris campaign and dnc announcing major spending on down ballot races in the final months before election day. sending about $25 million to help elect democrats running for the house and senate as well as attorney general and governor. montana senator steve daines is chairman of the republican senatorial committee. thanks for getting up early and coming on here. democrats are saying this is

going to help them a lot. how do you see it for $25 million? >> look, they are directing $25 million down ballot. one thing that kamala harris can do well. the only thing she can do. raise a lot of money. the democrats are scared because we have a chance to win back the senate majority and expand speaker johnson's house majority. they are planning to move $10 million down ballot to help democrat senate candidates across the country. they have all the money and there is a reason for that. nine out of ten of the most wealthy congressional districts in america are represented by democrats and become the party of the coastal wealthy elites. we're the party, president trump is the voice of hard working americans living paycheck to paycheck. the most expensive vehicle one of our voters drives is their grocery cart thanks to harris inflationary policies. >> bill: money talks sometimes in politics. one headline from "politico."

house and senate republicans starting to panic about a huge money gap with democrats. republican leaders on the hill privately and publicly warning donors they need more money. you referred to it. how big of a concern is it? >> it is a concern, bill. look, money is very important for us to get our message out because, of course, the mainstream media carries the democrats' water on their messaging and a real problem. we have winnable races in many ways for the senate that we can beat democrats. the money gap will be a problem and is a problem for us. we have a website senate 24.com for people to join the movement here to make sure we win back the senate majority. i've been working closely with president trump over the last couple of years. i told the president the most important thing we can give you, sir, is a republican majority because the very first votes you take for the secretary of defense, secretary treasury, director of c.i.a. important positions the senate

controls. we have to give president trump a robust governing senate majority. >> bill: let me dig into that deeper. you saw the cnn poll from the other day. this is pennsylvania, david mccormick wants to be senator against bob casey and they're even 46, 46. balance of the power in the senate 50/49. we're missing a number. right, senator? 50/49. >> 51/49 democrat majority right now. >> bill: you will flip west virginia, that's going to happen. depending on how well trump does or does not do in montana or ohio could drag those republicans across the finish line. i just mentioned the race in pennsylvania, something very interesting to watch. then you have this polling out of maryland where larry hogan seems to be neck-and-neck with his democratic counterpart in a state that i don't know how long has it been since maryland gone

with a republican senator? point being you have an opportunity here. how do you see it playing out? >> yeah, we do. you start with the three red states. we'll win west virginia. jim justice is the next senator from west virginia. that's one. it's a 50 r50 senate. in montana tim sheehy is leading john tester by three to six points. a very good chance to win that senate seat in montana. in ohio moreno a republican state. every statewide official in ohio is a republican now except brown the democrat senator. moreno has a good shot to win ohio. you talked about pennsylvania and dave mccormick. a graduate of west point, 82nd airborne. iraq war veteran, businessman. no wonder he is tied at 46/46. outstanding candidate. something about pennsylvania, if you look back in 2020 and 2016, at this same time president

trump was in the polls showing behind four to five points. right now the polls in pennsylvania are showing it's a tied race. he is running four to five points better according to the polling than he did in either 16 or 20. he won pennsylvania in 16. he lost it by the narrowest amount in 20. president trump is in a strong position to win pennsylvania but that's why you see the democrats pouring so much money and effort into pennsylvania and why dave mccormick right now is looking very strong in pennsylvania. they are scared to death. they want to put a lot more money in the democrats' pockets to put their false message out trying to cover up these terrible policies the democrat senators have been behind kamala harris on virtually every single vote. >> bill: we'll check in with the democrats as well. they are welcome to come and make their case as well and welcome that and hope it happens. steve daines, thank you for your time today in las vegas. >> dana: president biden's border crisis seeping into his economic woes.

how the record migrant surge the upending the jobs market . we'll be right back.

>> harris: big legal action today 61 days before the election. a hearing in a president trump case with his immunity at the heart of it. jury selection begins in the tax fraud trial of hunter biden. russiagate 2.0. biden-harris's justice department says it is targeting russia to protect the election. what about all the other countries trying to sway americans? iran, china, anybody want to go after them? congressman mike waltz, carey urbahn and others top of the hour. >> bill: right on cue here is hunter biden about to go into court for day one of jury selection. similar scene to what we saw in washington a few months ago. some of the same folks are still with him.

abbe lowell and the filmmaker was with him. when they went inside to what was the hearing in washington, d.c., right >> dana: they didn't say anything and left. >> bill: good theater at that time. this is no laughing matter. this is real life drama where hunter biden faces serious allegations of tax evasion. >> dana: our guest in the first hour said if you thought the first trial was salacious, wait until you see this one. jonathan hunt, do you have more? >> yeah, dana and bill. interesting to note having been here for many of the hearings that preceded the start of the trial hunter biden was driven into the underground parking lot at the courthouse every single time. very interesting that he and his legal team made the decision to walk in to be seen publicly going into the courthouse today. as you saw there he didn't say anything at all. he was with one of his lead attorneys abbe lowell, also representing him now. that is a change from the

pre-trial hearings his celebrity attorney mark geragos. i saw him walk in ten minutes ago behind me here at the courthouse and shouted down to him as he walked along here how are you feeling? are you confident? he turned his head for a moment as if he was about to say something to me, thought better of it so nothing from any of the players so far. hunter biden now here for this trial, bill and dana. >> dana: thank you, jonathan. here we go again. you wonder if they are watching from the white house. >> bill: you were right about andrew who joined us an hour and a half go talking about the salacious details on this are not like we heard in the last case and the president is on record saying he wouldn't pardon his son. >> dana: that was before the old switch biden-harris. what a great show. enjoyed it. one more to go this week. harris faulkner is next. >> harris: the breaking news this hour is the son of the
