there is not one martha washington or one martha washington does not exist. i i think it's a very it's a very shrewd remark. i just want to check. can you hear me? i think that's a very shrewd remark. i think there are certain elements of martha that. you cut the papers or have different had a different identities, and you have the same resolute, almost. but sometimes almost pugnacious. you know, she's she's she's feisty and. and people respond to that. they like it, whether it's incompetence at mount vernon or. so i think that there's that. but think that i think she inhabits different worlds and that's what is so extraordinary the way she appears to me to be adaptable or as you pointed out she says, i don't like this role being first lady. i'm just to sit here all the in philadelphia. she she definitely starts to party. but but i that's right. that she these a very it's a very, very fast moving those decades she lived through in in america and in virginia. and she has she adapts and adapts and doesn't adapt in in ways that we we saw with her words about the

martha? >> martha: chad, fascinating.g in the congressman demanding answers on this, tennessee republican tim burchett. thanks for being here today. a lot of this jumps out at you when you hear it. the question of cover-up and what grush is expected to testify to, the united states has retrieved partially intact vehicles and they're hiding them somewhere. can you shed light on what we'll hear about that? >> yes, ma'am. myself, representative gaetz and luna went to florida to interview some pilots in a secure briefing. what we were told is frightening but had nothing to do with the ufo issue and we were denied that. we had to go back and forth and flex with the pentagon. thank goodness matt gaetz knew what to do and the buttons to push. we talked to some pilots. we were denied access to other stuff. this is the -- the tic tac videos that you showed earlier that will have the pilots involved in that, the military denied that that even existed. then it was put out. they said there were fakes. they came around. the pentagon i

martha? >> martha: thanks, chad. that, we bring in anna paulina luna that was in the hearing today. she's a member of the house oversight committee that is seeing a lot of action and an air force veteran. congress woman, great to have you with us today. are you convinced these officials were telling the truth that the united states government is keeping nonnonhuman remains and vehicles under wraps? >> you know, martha, after everything that i witnessed the last couple months looking into this as well as being denied access to information about egg land air force base, only to see images for my own self and draw that conclusion, i believe there's other life out there. i also belief that it is possible that the u.s. government is back engineering potentially technology that is not from this world. as you heard from those witness testimonies, they are coming because they're witnessing things that we have no way, shape or form of explaining with our current known laws of physics from. a national security perspective and

thanks for being here. >> thanks, martha. >> martha: see you soon. president biden and nato essentially say not right now to zelensky's aggressive push over the last 24 hours to join the alliance. the war in ukraine crosses the 500-day mark and russia keeps coming. president biden on the world stage a short time ago after zelensky had some tough talk pushing for a guarantee of entrance to nato from biden whom he calls nato's decision maker. biden spoke of the events ailing ukraine. >> putin still wrongly believes that he can outlast ukraine. he still doesn't understand that our commitment, our freedom is something that he can never, ever, ever walk away from. >> martha: important speech today. 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

"the story" starts right now with martha maccallum. have a great show, martha. >> martha: thanks. good to see you both. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. we're scratching our heads over this story today, folks. how is it possible that the secret service has no clues, no fingerprints, no dna from a bag of cocaine left in a cubby near the situation room of the white house? no video surveillance, nada. no evidence whatsoever. they say hundreds of people pass through this area where it was found and the statement says this. the secret service investigation is closed due to lack of physical evidence. remember from the start, the white house told us that certain questions such as could it have belonged to any member of the biden family, including hunter biden. those questions are not allowed. >> they were not here friday, not here saturday, sunday or monday. they come back tuesday. so to ask that question is incredibly irresponsible. >> so they were there friday actually, which we have reported here. so this as we're also told that despite more and more substantive information that

an incredible guy, martha. >> martha: he was.wer singers. obviously lady gaga did two albums together. he did a lot of collaboration in his later years that kept him so relevant, neil. >> he also -- i was in contact with him in so many different periods. when he recorded with abe my winehouse, he said she's up there with billie holiday. she's in the wrong era. as he pointed out, if she was born in the 50s, this would have been a different scene for her. you're so right, martha. he knew how to keep himself relevant, up there. above all, one of the things he was is very humble. when he came over to london one time, he was here because he was going to be a judge on the talent show x factor. he said to me, you know, i'm not really keen on criticizing anybody. how can i get around this? obviously that was part of the show. he didn't want to diminish anybody else's talent. wow, from somebody like you that is very caring. >> martha: a good lesson for everybody. to be gracious and encouraging to people as tony bennett was. i loved that h

martha? >> martha: all right, rich. thanks. with that we bring in tristan leavitt, attorney for whistle-blowerer gary shapley. i'm struck by what we hold from congressman goldman at the end of that. he said it's not up to them or the irs agents. it's up to those that have to bring the case and whether they feel there's evidence to prove it. yet these whistle-blowers, both your client and the other new whistle-blower, said that there was lots of evidence and they pointed to it quite directly in the hearing yesterday. >> absolutely. the clearest evidence that the prosecutors were bought in to that is exhibit 2 in gary's testimony to the house ways and means committee. it shows it wasn't just the irs that recommended charges. prosecutors in delaware were on board. they sent it to the tax division and recommended multiple felony charges for 2014 through 2019 as well as a number of misdemeanors. so it wasn't just a prosecutors versus investigators. everybody was on board until the president appointed officials to shut the prosecutio

>> martha: distracting sitting across from you. >> very sharp, joe. >> martha: the people behind youlike oh, no haters. i like that. kevin o'leary, here he is. he is sort of a person to listen to when it comes to the workplace. here's what he had to say. >> the pandemic has changed how people dress. that's for sure. i have no pants on right now. if i'm going in the office, i have to put pants on. dress code matters what works and moving you up the feeding chain is not being crazy in what you wear. you can't wear flip-flops, although i have them on myself. use common sense. basically what you wear is who you are. >> martha: i couldn't agree more. you know, i tell young people when i talk to them, dress more professionally than you think you should. people do notice. this goes to your whole sense of yourself and how seriously taking things. it's one thing if you work in a film studio. it's another thing on wall street. don't you think people move up the ladder more quickly if they're dressed professionally? >> i do. i go back to merle street and the devil wars prada. it's your armor. y

. >> martha: thanks. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. right now on "the story," president biden just landed in lithuania where he will face big questions from our allies about where this is all going in ukraine. he goes there after a brief stop in london. the president just okayed cluster bombs to be sent to kyiv for use in this war. that is a decision that the man whose hand he is shaking, prime minister sunak disagrees with. there's tough conversations to be had at nato. he also met with king charles at windsor a couple of -- i don't know. awkward moments in this. this president visits windsor cast. back home, he's facing a barrage of related tough headlines. quote "step aside joe biden, the president has no business running for office at age 80." that from elliot cohen of the atlantic. and this from axios. "old yeller. biden's private fury details his quick temporarier and outbursts". let's bring in pete hegseth, "fox and friends" co host and an iraq and afghanistan war veteran and juan williams, senior political analyst. great to hav

>> no, you are absolutely correct, martha.ays say protecting citizens from harmful thoughts. harmful ideas. harmful viewpoint and that's always the case. and what is distressing when you read the twitter file and you read the evidence that we have seen coming out recently. the government was censoring what they call mal-information. this is stuff that is true that the government says being used for misleading purposes. try that hat on for a second. saying if you say something true but the government believes it's misleading in the way that you said it. they also were targeting you for censorship. and there is nothing to stop them from resuming what -- what the louisiana judge found the largest censorship program in the history of the united states. >> martha: yeah, that's exactly right. and robert kennedy jr. talked about his information being taken down. talking about vaccines and talking about covid. and they just branded him someone who was giving, what you say not misinformation but categorized as mal-information, and inte

claus and martha washington together. and i just of course it's martha. and then i realized that was just, you know, my of who martha washington was. and i i'm probably not the only one in this room who when you think of martha washington, think of someone who is very much like a mrs. claus. but fortunately i the chance of working on martha washington's papers which came out this year for uva press a plug there and and what i quickly in reading her is that she's actually her three manatee she's funny, she's snarky. she is very important to to george washington, to her family. and she's really relatable all one of my favorite letters actually written during the revolution. and she was writing home to her and she said, i've written to you several times, you have not written back to me. i guess all my friends have me. no one remembers who i even am. and just so you know, i'm not writing again until i hear from you. so it was it was sort of this guilt trip, you know, the mother trying to get some letters from from, you know, her children. and so i got to this

. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: stick around for this. congressman tim burchett is leading the charge in congress to take unidentified aerial objects in the sky seriously. why the government has been involved in a cover-up for decades. >> my gosh! the wind is 120 miles to the west. look at that thing, dude. veteran homeowners. prices are going up fast.

martha? >> martha: yeah. that has been brought together for this second plea deal. you owed $100,000, you didn't pay, that can be part of this agreement, she was not happy with the gun agreement, that deal may go by the wasteside. the form asks if you are taking drugs and he was not forthcoming about the fact he was during that time period. it leaves open room for further jeopardy for him. one big question i've asked all along is how was he doing all of this business with ukrainian and russian and other country's companies without having fara? the foreign agency allow him to do this work. that is what paul manafortgot slammed for, he had not registered as a foreign agent. this question has been swept under the rug. people have gone to prison for that. >> emily: martha, it is emily, as we approach presidential election around the corner and you, one of our top political analysts, our question involves how you feel this will be spun and how the party and left wing media will frame this? this state judge was appointed by president trump. there are multiple threads beca

those are hard facts, martha. >> martha: they've been disputed in terms of how he got to that point by all -- several of those people. we keep going. thanks, guys. juan, tomi, thank you. we're taking a close watch on when and if a grand jury in d.c. could hand down a third indictment of former president trump of the events that

martha. the the one of the things that's changed, of course is we can call it we can cry about it, but we can also call it a democratized version of information. and presidents have tried to keep up with the technology, right. so now it's not just television, a cnn camera or an msnbc camera. that's but it's a ticktock camera. it's not really a camera, but it goes back out on tik-tok. so how have you seen whether it's crisis or otherwise this technology changing? well, the imagery of the white house is projected to the american people and the world. yeah, i've one of the areas i can see it is the interviews that president biden has chosen to do and he's chosen to to aim to particular audiences that at certain times. so he's wanted to get to young people for examples. so he had an interview with in the east room of the white house that the white house didn't didn't promote to that particular group. and they were six young people. and each one of them had an issue. abortion student loans, things

martha, final word. >> martha: you know, there is not a lot of enthusiasm around the biden campaign.right? he doesn't need to spend a lot of that money right now. when you look at the small donor part of his equation though of that 72 million a very small percentage of it, $10 million comes from small donors, under $200 apiece. that's half of where obama was at this point in his re-election campaign. so there's no doubt that there's a huge lack of enthusiasm. and it feels in some ways like the president is one of the few people who haven't noticed that not a lot of people want him to run. >> dana: one of the main reasons that his small dollar fundraising is down is because of inflation. because people didn't have that extra -- the money that they had that they might have given to them on the democratic side and on the republican side has been going to pay for eggs. >> bret: there you go. >> harold: biden has 71 million on hand. >> martha: absolutely. >> bret: no labels movement. leave it right there. super star in one sport makes a big impression in another. ♪ ♪ meet the future. a ch
