ari fleischer, former press secretary and fox news contributor.come. >> thank you, mike. >> mike: on july 12th, secret service received the fbi laboratory results which did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient dna was present for investigative comparisons. there was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area. are you shocked this investigation has not produced any results and that they shut it down? >> i am very surprised. i would have thought they would have been able to get to the bottom of this. but also, mike, this is not over. it is only over if the biden white house wants it to be over. and let me make a clear distinction. secret service job is to protect the president of the united states, his life. not the drug enforcement. so secret service from their point of view says it's over, they could not find fingerprints or dna and no threat to the president's life. but if you are joe biden or the white h

let's bring in ari fleischer, former press secretary and fox news contributor. robert o'brien, former national security adviser. great to have you with us today. you have both watched presidents on the world stage in these moments. a lot of big high level discussions about who should and who should not be able to enter nato. that group promises to protect each other under any attack. the president sort of has taken a different tune on this. i want to play what he said sunday and then what he said today about whether or not ukraine can join nato. watch this. >> i don't think it's ready for membership in nato. >> all of our ally as agree ukraine's future lies in nato. >> ari, forceful push back by zelensky the last 24 hours. what do you think happened there? >> of course, it's forceful pushback by zelensky. his country is fighting for its survival. he wants everybody to do everything to help save his country. on the other hand, when you look at it from american and nato point of view, the right thing is to supply them to the teeth with everything that they need. b

. >> ari fleischer here with me on set today. it's great to have you in house, ari. thanks for being here. so they're obviously going to get asked this question. how is it possible -- the comparison i keep hearing, the there wasn't a person that crossed over the line of the first step of the capitol building whose name they didn't know and who isn't on video from january 6. yet this one, they're willing to throw in the towel, a lot of people think too quickly. >> first of all, charlamagne tha god and john kirby are both wrong. there are no cameras in the west wing. there are no cameras in the west wing. that's by design. secondly, john -- >> martha: because why? >> because it's the perimeter of the white house. there's cameras around the perter to catch preaches. they say once you've been at the west wing, you're safe. they want their agents and uniformed division officers to be vigilant and not rely on cameras. that's for the perimeter. i think it's because they don't want any subpoenas. they never want congress to subpoena a video tape of people walking around the

here with reaction, ari fleischer, kellyanne conway. ari, start with you tonight. let's get to the bottom of kamala and joe and cocaine and sorry they didn't interview a single person, really? >> yeah, but sean on this one i will defend the secret service, i won't defend the biden white house. their job is to protect the president of the united states. they're not the drug enenforcement administration. their job is not to search for drugs. >> then bring in the fbi. >> hold on. why not bring in law enforcement? >> that's what joe biden and his chief of staff need to do. secret service reached the decision there's no threat to the president. at that point either the white house wants to sweep it under the rug or do something about it, and they do not take it seriously. they're happy to sweep it under the rug, not the seeksz, but joe biden and his white house. this is a political issue for joe biden, it is a leadership issue and it is a failure to protect the white house by joe biden and his chief of staff. >> there's no way i see kellyanne conway ever, joe biden, ask

what makes it matter is what ari fleischer told me last week, he is a trove of evidence against the president, phone calls, text messages in bribery case. >> kevin: important point, the process will play out, should play out in the public eye and you have administration that has been totally transparent with regard to this situation as surrogate for -- >> harris: you may be surrogate, you can see things are not transparent. >> kevin: certainly, proof is in the pudding, not to steal a line from ron desantis. a business partner of hunter, it can't be hearsay, though. the two irs whistleblowers provide important context and contour of the situation. >> they have first-hand information of every aspect of the investigation, this is not hearsay, this is not circumstantial evidence, these are primary sources they had been investigating for years. not only investigating this for years, they had been investigating other crimes and other cases honorably for the irs and knew something wasn't right. they became whistleblowers, they through there would be retribution and retaliation, they had to say somet

here's former white house press secretary ari fleischer on the focus shift today. >> the only person that matters is the president, and we know the president misled the country, i call it a lie, when he said he never discussed business with his son. we know from records and testimony, statements made by former business partners of hunter biden, that president biden did financially benefit. hunter biden equals evidence. that's what republicans need to focus on, evidence that ties to joe biden, not their son's behavior, but the sun as proof of what is tied to joe biden. >> harris: along with that is testimony scheduled for a fourth time now because this guy keeps canceling, best friend and former colleague of hunter biden as that comes on monday. wrap it up for us. >> archer is expected to testify that the president participated in a couple of dozen calls, including being put on speakerphone. if that's true, it demolishes the defense that the white house has used for years with the american people. the question becomes not whether the president has lied to come about why he lied for so

former white house press secretary ari fleischer saying you have got to be kidding me.ocaine found at the white house. if it's the old executive office building it's likely staff. if it's the mansion it is likely hunter. the "new york post"'s miranda devine writes this. first son, hunter biden, acknowledged a prior addiction to crack cocaine was on the white house grounds friday before heading to camp david with his father for the holiday weekend. and newly-released photos from his laptop show him smoking crack while driving in a residential area and speeding at 107 miles-per-hour on his way to las vegas. those images back from 2018. jason rantz is a seattle radio host. it doesn't look good. the president is not speaking about it. we haven't heard a denial from hunter. he have simply said he no longer does crack cocaine. and that he was a former crack cocaine user. but cocaine in the white house is not something that happens every day. >> it doesn't but i can't say that we're shocked by this news. i don't think anyone is. what's interesting is some of the media coverage

ari fleischer pointed out last night as well, the former press secretary for president bush, that it is not just an open cubby where anybody can walk by and do these types of things. it is actually manned by the uniform division of the secret service. you would hand it to a secret service officers who would put it in the cubby. i do not believe for even one minute that the secret service doesn't already know who had access and that they've narrowed it down to just a few people that are traveling there. there is an outside perimeter of security. they have badges, everybody has a badge. there are multiple cameras going at this. you don't get to walk around the west wing, even if you are staff, without a heavy presence of the secret service and a distinct understanding of who is going where and why. and so i think they already know where it is. i think they are trying to wait for the dna evidence. that doesn't happen in a half a day or a day. the secret service, i do believe, knows at this point who this person is. >> julie: if you look at the way they are handling it right off the bat

here to discuss, ari fleischer former white house press secretary and ben editor at large of the spectatorth are fox news contribute tours. ben, let's start on the china question. what's going on here? i mean, there couldn't really be more affronts to america that occurred over the past three or four months from the hacking to the spy balloon to the buzzing of our aircraft. other just opaque threats regarding taiwan and so forth. what's going on with kerry and why the desperate need to send the parade of horribles over there? >> laura, i would not want you to spend the last 10:00 p.m. hour of your tenure before you move to 7:00 just having to go through the list of all the different ways that china has insulted us, but you could if you wanted to. under joe biden, the chinese and the chinese communist party has been nothing but completely disrespecting the united states and the united states power in so many different respects. we can go all the way back to that initial meeting in alaska where they deployed language of blm and critical race therapy against tony blinken and our state represe

. >> gillian: let's bring in ari fleischer, former white house press secretary to george w. are fox news contributors. thanks for being with me, gentlemen. ari, start with you. i was just thinking about it. you were in the white house. nobody was impeach or subject to an inquiry while you were there. what do you make of what senator kennedy just said? impeachment is like the political nuclear option. you really don't want to do it unless you know that it's a sure-bet. >> gillian, i'm a contusionalist. sovereignty rests with the people. people elect the president. the people are the ones that make this decision. not powerful legislators. absent overwhelming proof of a high crime and misdemeanor. the only thing i have heard that could touch joe biden so far is the allegation that the fbi has a confidential informant saying as vice president he tike a bribe. if that is unimpeachable proof, that is something. otherwise, this will backfire on republicans. it's not right and we should not do as republicans what the democrats did, which is turn impeachment, something sacred, in to

former white house press secretary ari fleischer says this is the joe biden he has known for years. >he is just not a good guy. i don't know why the press treats him or thinks he might be a good guy. he snaps at people in a very derisive way. so much of the press, the outcome they refer. republicans to be defeated. >> harris: david avella, scott bolden, great to see you both. david, i'll start with you. what to do about cranky biden? >> president biden isn't the only one cusseding and saying foul things coming out of his administration. when you consider the fact that two out of every three americans think we're heading in the wrong direction and six out of ten americans believe it is his policies making the economics of this country worse and not better and why ultimately democrats had to change the primary calendar to get rid of iowa and new hampshire. states he lost when he ran in 2020. and put in states more favorable to him. also why you see a lot of democratic candidates who might want to run against biden not taking him on. the deck is now stacked against them. >> harris: wow.

former white house secretary, ari fleischer.ait to -- we will begin with the latest in the white house, cocaine investigation. it's now been over a week since the illegal drug was found in a common area of the west wing, and the secret service has been sweeping the area for any clues leading to a potential culprit, and that investigation could conclude as early as today. the contradictions in the location of the cocaine, the white house's timeline of events, and the incident has raised serious congressional concerns about the level of security be maintained at the white house. but, president biden does not appear to be at all concerned. he spent the weekend sunbathing near his delaware beach house. and, he has since headed off for meetings in europe, without publicly addressing that bombshell discovery, of who left the coke out. meanwhile, his press secretary -- think it's irresponsible to ask. >> secretary>> reporter: one fo, whether the white house want to the president. >> secretary jean-pierre: this question has been asked f

the day is the host tomi lahren and fox news contributor and former white house press secretary ari fleischer. tommy, i will go to you first. you personally were one of those that were kind of targeted along the way with this covid suppression. what is your reaction to the ruling by the judge? >> it is a fantastic ruling. it reads like a masterpiece. i am honored, flattered, humbled to be mentioned in this opinion on page 16. i've known this for quite some time thanks to that lawsuit. and what the white house digital director, who i believe is still employed, by the way. a guy by the name of rob slattery. what he wanted facebook to do was he wanted facebook to reduce me on the platform because i made a very simple comment saying that i personally would not receive the covid-19 vaccine. that was apparently very troubling for the white house digital director and the most concerning part of all of this is that facebook was excited to run this down and make sure that that suppression, that the reduction as they called it, happened to me and countless other conservatives who dared to critique the

ari fleischer. you have been in the white house as some tough and some blissful times.ike there now? does this really touch the president? >> karine jean-pierre is on a short leash there, isn't she? i suspect when she said the other day in contradiction by the statements of president biden that he never discussed business with his son and she said he has never been in business with his son, i suspect she screwed up. i don't think she was supposed to say that and why she is on a tight leash now. why would the white house change its story in such an embarrassing way? it was a change of story. joe biden appears to have lied to the american people. he certainly has been contradicted by proof of texts and photos and other evidence talked business with his son at least. >> harris: so many times he has denied any knowledge, any conversations with his son about business dealings. and now, i mean, you have seen it. let's take another look at it. some in the liberal media playing defense for the first family. let's watch. >> hunter biden is a favorite target of republicans. what

with that, let's bring in our panel former white house press secretary ari fleischer.f for mitch mcconnell. josh, what do you make of this obviously the m.o. here and we talked to jonathan turley earlier once these target letters go out it's a number of days an arrest and indictment comes. >> he has become pretty adept at rolling out his own potential indictments we have seen in the last three months. i think because ever the subject matter itself, because we are dealing with january 6th and because we are dealing with post election 2020 inherently political and inherently partisan topic. i don't expect politically speaking that this is going to be harmful to him at all in the context of the republican primary. the problem republicans have what makes him strongner that primary also makes him a lot weaker in the context of a general elections somewhat unviable to the center of electorate. that's the problem they have got here wholly setting aside the substance of whatever might come out with a potential indictment. >> bret: here's representative goldman and the house sp

francesca chambers and former white house press secretary ari fleischer okay guy, today the white houseimes the answer was not the million times that she answered before. >> new answer and it's a different answer than the one than joe biden gave as a candidate and the white house has given since he has been president many times before. and sort of this exasperated, sneering response that we got to gillian turner when she asked that question as you said oh, everybody asked this a million times well, they are now saying that the president was not, quote: in business with hunter biden i have never discussed with my son or brother or anyone else anything to do with irbusiness, period. here comes in "new york post" areport on sworn testimony business partners no he was on the phone all the time dozens of times. the white house saying we have always said that they were not in business together. that is slippery, that is lawyerly, that is light of hand we can see it because we are not stupid. >> bret: francesca, this is testimony to come. we should point out that this has been delayed three ti

i thought ari fleischer had the best point.said, listen, if you think that it is a problem or when you protest an election and you think an election is illegitimate, then you really have a problem with sherrod brown of ohio and cory booker of new jersey he said stacey abrams is a legitimate governor of georgia. he said you should have a huge problem with hakeem jeffries because he says that donald trump was not a legitimate winner of the 2016 election. and i don't think hillary clinton, outside the consolation call ever said that donald trump legitimately won the election. of the question is what was done behind the scenes? we watched those january 6th hearings. because we did this show. it was -- it was a show. it was not a trial. it was -- and you saw this. they are going to assess that he plotted and planned and choreographed the january 6th overturning the election and storming of the capitol. even the january 6th committee didn't say that so jack smith, again, has got to say to himself this is going to be worth it, to go a
