ag merrick garland argued the state law conflicts with federal statute that ensures emergency medical care. idaho yabsz law does not contain exemption for when health is at risk. revised law goes into effect today. well, if you are infuriated by president biden redirecting other people's student loan debt to you, too bad. >> the people that paid student loans, they don't get anything out of this deal? >> right. >> that is right. okay. >> carley: tudor dixon will speak for the blue-collar workers being forced to pay for someone else's investigation. >> todd: nothing to aoc here, missing deadline to expose her congressional financials, we break down her money situation when "fox and friends first" continues. your spirit is stronger than your highs and lows. your creativity can outshine any bad day. because you are greater than your bipolar i, and you can help take control of your symptoms - and ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. once-daily vraylar is proven to treat depressive, acute manic, and mixed episodes of bipolar i in adults. full-spectrum relief for

lawmakers are demanding answers from ag merrick garland over the doj ignoring doj ignoring anti-catholicacks across our country. your letter to himself "millions of christians are under assault for merely exercising their constitutional ri right to freey exercise their religion to go in for to want of your department of justice will ever address the over 100 crimes against christian holy sites in america." congresswoman, white or crimes against catholics seem to matter to the doj? >> because it doesn't fit their narrative. the attorney general and the doj have an obligation to uphold the constitution and they completely and utterly are not doing that. instead, this department of justice, and merrick garland, is focusing on parents at school board meetings. they took an oath to uphold the constitution, which includes a first amendment. over 160 attacks on the catholic church, you don't hear about it, you don't have any investigations going on about it. what's going on? i'll tell you what's going on. it doesn't fit their narrative. they would prefer to deal with parents going to school boa

so, ag merrick garland gave the world three minutes and 30 seconds of his precious time and said nothinge beef? well mr. garland gave us no beef but i'm going to speculate that tens of millions of americans will have a big beef over the fact that garland gave us no beef. he said that the justice department, and i'm going to

the wall street jerne and editorial board called it dangerous and warned ag merrick garland is now taken the u.s. down a perilous path. they're right. according to my sources tonight on monday morning up to 40 fbi agents rolled up to mar-a-lago unannounced guns a blaze in about a dozen vehicles, including a large moving truck, over the course of the next several hours, the agents went room by room scouring the property boxing up every document they had in sight. they even riffled through melania's wardrobe. agents also demanded that the mar-a-lago staff turn off all security cameras. we can tell you tonight, those security cameras kept rolling. they were not shut off. and now we are report exclusively tonight that the fbi and the bureau is desperately prying to obtain all of the footage. hmm. i wonder why? trump's attorney who was there that morning will join us and tell us what went on from their vantage point and they were blocked from viewing the warrant at all. they were forced to stand outside the gates of mar-a-lago while all of this was happening. here's a shocker, according to ne

we'll be back in the same place next week based on the judge's order because essentially ag merrick garlandot before the midterms. liz: guy, what if it comes back like gibberish? we've got government leaks about the fbi raid continuing to pour out, anonymous leaks going into the media. what do you say so all this? >> well, i think ford makes a good point and and i was talkinn the radio earlier with molling hemmingway and she'd love to see transparency, if it's going to be redacted left and right to the point you can't understand what's in there, it could be worse than doing nothing. i want to wait and see what we actually get. i think learning more about this is important and it's an extraordinary case and merits extraordinary circumstances and maybe things the government typically wouldn't do and it's raiding the house of a former president, but i think celebrating that something meaningful is coming is premature. maybe it won't be but for you, i'm also a bit skeptical. liz: yeah, what guy just said, by the way, this is coming less than 100 days and less than 90 days before the midterms. y

and as we know, it went all the way up to ag merrick garland for approval. >> charlie, you literally wrote the book on the expansion of federal authority in this country. the president does have close to absolute power for declassification. i did like the reference you made to him magically declassifying all of this. i mean, doesn't he have to at least tell someone that he is the classifying? it doesn't have to be some record of the declassification? >> if things were being followed in the normal course of events, yes, they would have to be written records of this. documents would have to have top secret or whatever markings removed from them, as they are being processed. if these were nuclear profit documents that people have been talking about, there's a process of consulting the department of energy, the department of defense first. arguably, those restrictions might not apply to a president who has -- does wield sweeping constitutional authority over this. the president, as an institution, created this system by executive order and, one could argue is not bound by the regulations

since president biden became president and merrick garland the ag and they started the election threat task force, that has been a help for us. it still does not complete the circle. it just helps little bits at a time. i do not have any quantification right now of those numbers but i can tell you that myself here in vermont, but also across the country, our states are really hurting over all and local officials. we have many -- we have had several of my colleagues who have had to go to 24/7 security. it is not a good situation. >> madam chair, do i have time to ask the other to a question? ms. barden and ms. maryland? >> yes, i appreciate you being on today, thank you. >> this goes to -- and i think ms. barden, you said we need your help. i would view that any person in the country wants to see elections carried out with integrity. but, if you and ms. mar could speak briefly, how important is it that when an attack on integrity of the election system coming from one particular party, that's elected officials in that party be the ones to step up and say this is not accurate? this is mi

justice, with vermont state police, the state's attorneys, the ag, local law enforcement, since president biden became president and and merrick garland, the ag, and they started the election threat task force. that has been a help for us. but it's still it's it doesn't complete the circle. it's just help with little bits at a time. i don't have quantification right now on those numbers. but i can tell you that in vermont and across the country are states are hurting overall, and local officials. we have many -- several of my colleagues have had to go to 24/7 security. i mean, it is not a good situation. >> thank you, madam chair, do i've time to ask the other 28 question? -- the other two eight question? miss barton, you said we need your help and i would view that meaning the help of any any person in the country wants to see elections carried out with integrity. but if you and miss mara could speak briefly to how important is it that when an attack on the integrity of the election system is coming from one particular party that elected officials in that party, be the ones to step up and say this is not accurate? this is misinformat

. ♪ ♪ >> sean: more reaction to all of tonight's big breaking news on the comments by merrick garland to the age growing effort inside the biden and doj constitutional law professor fox news contributor jonathan turley. you're a pretty fair arbiter, you're a democrat and we don't agree on everything. you call them as you see them, calling balls and strikes and i give you credit for that. there's not many of the media that you do. you tell me if i'm wrong in my thinking. after all that we went through with the first attempt to hide donald trump through the alpha bank and trump towers service connected to the russia bank was a lie. if they tried to push that on the american people. then hillary pays for a dossier that money she funneled through a law firm that hired fusion gps and christopher steele. it's debunked information in the dirty dossier and yet they were warned before they ever applied for the first pfizer application. if but they used it anyway. they used at four times and it says at the top of the pfizer application verified. three were signed by james comey himself. you think of peop

merrick garland to speak, to say something. we know that the department typically does not do that. the ag doesn't do that, but the department typically doesn't execution search warrants on former presidents homes either. do you think he should speak out? >> i think there will probably be limited public comments, consistent with standard practice. the standard practice is he goes up to the hill, and in confidential hearings or confidential conversations prvrs -- provides an explanation about what's happened here. that's the standard practice of the department of justice. but given the reaction, i suspect that attorney general garland will probably go up to the hill, and have private conversations, perhaps if it involved classified information, those will be classified conversations as well. but, you know, i think there needs to be some level of explanation from the department to congress about the need for the information and why it was done at this time. >> former u.s. attorney general alberto gonzalez, thank you, sir. >> thank you, victor. >>> with me now, cnn legal analyst, normizen. he

mary trump says that her uncle donald trump was outfoxed by merrick garland and the department of justice. she says aging chess and trump is playing checkers so do you agree? >> totally, i think a lot of us omer garland an apology, i thought maybe it did not have the stomach for this fight but it clearly showed he was made for this moment. what he did with getting through, as i like to say on the positive terms. and he is the og because he turned it all on its head. he put trump in a box with his move, he forced trump to push for the unsealing, the release of these documents. he did not want to, remember he had the ability to do so from the beginning, any new prosecutors of by different set of rules. he thought that merrick garland would say nothing in maryland when he did was, you force trump not only to acknowledge and accept the release but the alternative would have been worse to try and obstruct it, and i would have the shortest offenses, and really put him in a pickle. and so now, we are left with the fact that it is the part of justice that is more transparent than donald trump. and so, yes don

semblance of justice and so that came today in the form of attorney general merrick garland and kristen clark the assistant ag for civil rights now charging for former and current metro police department officers with a federal crime related to the police killing of breonna taylor. where the doj alleges is at three of these officers use false and misleading information to obtain search worsen beset a door using a battering ram to break down the front door, and then they shot blindly, this is according to the doj, shot blindly into her home. beyond, that there are other officers who are accused of meeting in 2020. she was killed and rest when you 20 so they net months later in the garage to basically get their stories straight. that's a quote merrick garland agreed to give investigators false information. beyond that there is also allegations that an officer falsified report to delay and impede the criminal probe into her death. and then there is an allegation of excessive force, that one of the officers went from the front of the home to the side of the home, and then shot ten rounds into a bedroom window, ki

may not want it it's hollywood there's a lot of homeless people, i would bet my house that merrick garland, the ags not going to indict donald trump. and if he does, my cousin vinny could get an acquittal. limitless take calls for author coast, please go to their question or comment. with the first of all mr. elder thanks so much for taking the opportunity to discuss these very topics. i've got to tell you a few things. i grew upva in private schools. i went to school with lebanese, blacks, puerto ricans, graduated with 48 people i could tell you that. i have always believed my grandfather once told me, he said life is about choices and opportunity. when i was 15 years old i was on a program it later propelled me into doing some work in radio. high school, college, nascar, i could go on and on like you. i have listened to so much of what you've said pretty quite a laugh at this next comment and then i asked my question but the only thing i thought donald trump did wrong when it came he is like diarrhea at the mouth. if he had cleaned up some of what he said. i voted for him, but i want to know you

i will bet you, i will bet my house although it's near hollywood, i would bet my house merrick garland the aggoing to indict donald trump. .. host: let's take some calls for larry elder. first of all, mr. elder, thank you for taking the opportunity to discuss these topics. >> a few things, i grew up in private school, went to school with lebanese, blacks, puerto rican and believed, my grandfather once told me, he said life is about choices and opportunity. when i was 15 years old-- when i was 15 years old i was on a team program on a deejay program that later propelled me into doing work in radio and high school and college, done real estate radio and adult ed, nascar, and i could go on and on like you and i've listened so much to what you said. you're going to laugh at the next comment and then i'll ask my question. >> okay. >> the only thing i thought donald trump did wrong when he came down the tower, diarrhea at the mouth. if he had cleaned up some of what he said and i voted for him, but i want to know your comment on forces and opportunities and why is it you think that so many people d

ag has said that. >> let's hope. kennedy: dave, we're getting wrapped up in particulars and losing sight of what's really problematic here. >> absolutely. for merrick garland to say, look, the fbi, we just faithfully execute the law. that's it. there's no politicization going on here. i mean, this is absurd. look, think about the crimes that former presidents have committed. barack obama himself when asked about whether he would prosecute the george w. bush administration, he said, look, we tortured some folks but we have to move forward. we can't look back ward. there was no one in the fbi saying, well, hey, look, we faithfully, behindly enforce the law so we're going to go start rounding up all the bush administration officials. and barack obama himself as donald trump said, you know, he said it kind of sloppily creating isis but obama knowingly did fund isis in syria. that's literal treason but the fbi didn't say we have to enforce the laws so are you telling me there's some crime here that donald trump committed that is so much more egregious than the crimes of previous presidents? or is it possible that this same fbi, who as andrew mccabe said in his

our attorney general merrick garland is the most -- attorney general i can remember. i started covering the ags around 1970s, and i don't remember one who spoke more softly. he was a circuit court judge, nominated for the supreme court. he has judicial temperament. he is cautious. he is conscious of the rules that guard prosecutions. he wants to make sure that those rules are enforced. grand jury secrecy is absolutely central to our system. grand juries collect information in secret, and prosecutors should not disclose it. but he is also concious of his role. for the last year, he said he is going to be conducting a wide-ranging investigation of the insurrection on january 6th, using every u.s. attorney's office in the country, every fbi office. he said that openly, publicly, repeatedly. we're now beginning to see the fruits of that investigation. people didn't believe merrick garland when he said this was going to be a probe of that scope, but it is. we now see that. each of these investigations have a slightly different beginning. the new york attorney general's investigation is entirely diff

senate majority mitch mcconnell calling on merrick garland and the department of justice to provide answers and must do so immediately. joining us matt whitaker. aguch for being here this morning, matt. do you expect the comments from merrick garland? would we get any answers? >> i think in this case he owes the american people something because this is an unprecedented step and many people have said that but what i know having been in that chair is, you know, you have leadership that you have to exert. if someone comes we will have to conduct warrant on the president's residence, have we done everything to resolve this. it seems to me that the negotiations had not been exhausted, that there were other ways. less intrusive ways like a subpoena that could have been issued if they really believed the documents were so important that they had to immediately be obtained by the federal government and so it just seems to me that this is a very heavy-handed move by the doj and intentional to send the miami and to maybe even put their thumb on the scale as to, you know, sort of the midterms and ultimately possible trump candidacy. maria: so what's the me

maria: that was merrick garland yesterday, revealing he personally approved the fbi mar-a-lago raid aglast night expressing his upset, quote encouraging the immediate reliefs of those documents we could see a copy of the warrants as early as this afternoon. ahead of that, let's talk with ohio congressman jim jordan the ranking member of the judiciary committee member of oversight committee aauthor of the book do what you said would you do fighting for freedom in the swafrn great to see you looking forward to talking with you about all developments what is your reaction now? >> well you got to take it in -- first unprecedented act raid the personal residence former president of the united states little republican presidential candidate two years, probably never happened in american history you view in context this is same justice department a yes, sir ago said we are twraeting parents as domestic terrorists we know that happened we've over a dozen whistleblowers come to our office talk about political things at justice department followed by vote today going to happen on house floor dem

merrick garland's leadership, he ought to resign or be impeached. this is third world banana republic stuff and i think people are waking up to how concerning this really is. maria: agponent, donald trump, colluded with russia. it was a complete lie but the fbi pursued it to no end. they pursued fisa warrants to spy on trump officials. they sat on the hunter biden story, sat on that laptop while trump was getting impeached. here we are four years later and they're still lying. the fbi telling facebook to censor information so that the hunter biden laptop news doesn't come out before the election. now, i know trump is an outsider and he's trying to expose corruption in some corners but what are they so afraid of with this trump derangement syndrome, so aggressive? >> well, it's nuts. and you're right, i mean, going after president trump like they did. but also -- and i think president trump said this. they come after him because they really want to get after you and i think there's -- you know, in washington, the establishment, the sort of deep state apparatus doesn't like people asking a lot of tough questions and i think when republicans take the majority in both t
