blinken: first, this. what was published in the press, in the media reflected a particular point in time. this is not static. where ukraine might have been a month ago, two months ago, three months ago is not where it is now in terms of its ability for example to prosecute a counteroffensive and deal with the ongoing russian aggression. that is one very important thing to keep in mind. second, we have been engaged intensely over many months with about 50 countries in trying to provide the support ukraine needs both to defend itself but also to help regain territory that has been taken by russia over the last 14, 15 months. lloyd austin has worked miracles in bringing together 50 countries in a coordinated way. it is not just equipment we provide. it is not enough. you have to be able to use it. training. you have to be able to maintain it. we have been working on that. the ukrainian forces have to be able to use everything in a coordinated and combined way. many countries have been working with us on the.

let's build off what secretary blinken didn't say. i had nothing to do with it.d him the impetus and blinken says mike morrell's testimony confirmed, he said you are the impetus. you have joe biden, who his campaign surrogates were clapper, brenn, his surrogates. be on alert for russian disinformation and it affected the election. >> brian: dan hofman said i will not sign it. why? not because he worked here or didn't, his reputation, why put your reputation on the line of something you know nothing about. >> kayleigh: the top tiers of the fbi were full of leftist democrats, no two ways about it. they had two intentses, morrell said one intent was to get joe biden elected. >> brian: hunter biden decides to battle against mother of his baby for paying too much child support. judge the says, i need to see your financials and don't overredact what you give. his high-priced legal team, do they know what they are getting into here? >> kayleigh: i don't think so, and this case paternity case, i feel so bad for navy joan, the victim in this. this could be the undoing of

they highlight this exchange in their letter to blinken.ou ever talk with hunter biden on the phone? he says not that i recall. then they ask did you have any other means of correspondence with him emails, texts and he says no. they produce a 2015 email where hunter asks him to get a cup of coffee and he said absolutely. he was a long time aide to senator and then vice president joe biden. blinken is also responding to house republican accusations that he coordinated that 2020 letter from dozens of former u.s. national security figures calling reports on the contents of hunter biden's laptop as having all the classic earmarks of a russian information operation. >> can you explain what your role was in that and if you incentivized it? >> one of the great benefits of this job is that i don't do politics and don't engage in it. but with regard to that letter, i didn't -- wasn't my idea. didn't ask for it or solicit it. i think the testimony that the former deputy director of the c.i.a. mike morrell put forward confirms that. >> house republica

secretary blinken? vice chair collins, ranking member graham, the -- distinguished members of the appropriate committee, thank you for this opportunity to testify before you today. thank you for bringing us all together. i'm very pleased, as well, to be here with secretary austin, secretary raimondo. this administration is committed to leading a bipartisan whole of government china strategy that advances u.s. interest values, and, delivers for the american people. to your point, chair murray, i think that we do stand at an inflection point. the post cold war era is over. there is an intense competition underway to shape what comes next. china represents the most consequential geopolitical towns that we face today. a country with the intent and, increasingly, the capability to challenge our free, open, and secure international intern order. we cannot wait for beijing to change its path. we cannot wait for china to change its trajectory. we can't put ourselves into a position to compete strategically. --

michael morrell testified that blinken was the impo tus for the letter and blinken says he wasn'ts, who is lying? >> we will have to find out. we haven't heard from blinken yet in front of the judiciary. the letter doesn't lie, 51 ex-cia directors, former heads of intelligence sign on to this letter that was sig nant in terms of the election and what occurred before donald trump debated joe biden. this letter was a tell-tale sign having anything to do with hunter biden laptop, a complete farce. >> ashley: blinken said he never e-mailed hunter biden, but e-mails show the two scheduling a meeting cht receipts show otherwise of what he's saying. >> the receipts do show otherwise, we've seen the letters back and forth and seen hunter biden forward e-mails to devin archer and we heard from a senator on fox news said he spoke under oath and explain how blinken denied this under oaths, that is a huge allegation that is ultimately a felony, right? >> ashley: yeah. >> todd: your thoughts on this, president biden will meet congressional leaders on the debt ceiling next week, not before janet yell

let me ask about tony blinken. how much trouble is chuck tony blinken and? number one he ran the operation to get these 51 former intel officials to weigh in on a laptop that they knew nothing about. was there a quid pro quo that if he did this he'd be secretary of state? i don't know.i can't say. certainly a question worth asking. more importantly, lying to congress. how serious is that? pam body? >> having prosecuted many perjury cases, many perjury cases. by the way shawn is easy to prove forgery. you lied to congress, it was a material fact and unit was on true. that basic to prove it. that could be his downfall. it's very serious. it's a felony. in 2020 when ron johnson said he gave his testimony. he never dreamed that the laptop would show up at the pawnshop or shop to get fixed and he wouldn't claimant and it would now become public. then, he gets 51 into officers which he is now denying. to participate in saying that it's fake. knowing, i would assume the whole while those emails could possibly be on there. then incriminate him. in 2020 can no idea t

because antony blinken is contradicting his testimony.min hall did a great interview. great to see him back on the air. but blinken says and you'll see that this confirms what morrel said. but that doesn't confirm what morrel says. it runs in contradiction. i think we should hear from morrel again if we should have to hear from blinken again. that's fine. as many people that are related to it should be on the record talking about it and we'll have a fair process and get to the bottom of and all of your red lines. to the point about eric holder saying there's nothing there. he probably has access to more than we have. it does seem like he's going out on a limb saying that though it was just in a cable new interview. remind every one and we think of the obama and biden administration, two hands and one person. they're not. biden's people are biden's people. there's not many crossovers. there's a lot of what he's saying no love lost between them. there's a lot of feelings that biden isn't necessarily living up to the obama legacy as, you kno

story, the 17th seen blinken current secretary of state.ike morell gets him. mike morell looks at this the next day, organizes on the 1st all these other people to sign the letter. the 19th the letter goes out. what about on the 22nd? joe biden brings it up and then after that debate, here's the kicker, steve row chety, chair of the biden campaign calls up mike morell and thanks him for doing it all it was a total political operation. >> jesse: so tony blinken got the cia to run a cover-up operation to win joe biden the election. again, let that sink in. the cia, 51 is spoofs, put joe biden in at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. they didn't do it honorably. they deceived voters to win an election. that he was what the cia is supposed to do in other countries. not our country. and the cia director, morell, admitted in writing a letter because blinken told him to. when asked why he did it, morell said, quote: because i wanted biden to win the election. now, remember, they didn't do this cover-up letter because it was true. they did the cover-up lett

and blinken needs to answer those, and the congressman's point about parsing words, blinken needs toose under oath, not in a tv interview where he can choose his words. he needs to answer questions are from congressmen like mr. issa who know how to question a witness, and we'll get preice answers under oath to these questions -- precise answers. elizabeth: congressman, what do you want to the ask secretary of state blinken? now we have house ways and means chair jason smith is saying yes to the an irs whistleblower to tell congress about alleged political interference by the doj in the hunter biden tax probe. what do you want to ask the secretary of state? >> well,st the old series of questions, what did you know, when did you know it and what did you do. and since we have a timeline of what we believe he did, it will begin with those questions. elizabeth: congressman issa, sam dewey, thanks for joining us, gentlemen. >> thank you. elizabeth: whole foods makes a stunning disclosure about shoplifting that rattles the media, and outgoing democrat mayor lori lightfoot of chicago taking

antony blinken worked as an adviser on the campaign.of state and it was before the election when this letter was pushed out. you can see how mike morrel, the deputy cia director back then, you can see how republicans have one version of it and democrats have another version of it. then you hear the language that blinken uses distancing himself. what do you think? >> i think that we have to recognize that we're dealing with very sophisticated actors. both morrel and is now secretary blinken who, you know, he pivoted when he was asked that question about how in this job it's great. i don't have to do politics. he wasn't in this job when this letter went out, right? he was in a job that this innately political. but these guys have been around the block a long time. they know the game here is that, you know, people speak in a kind of round-about way that convey what's they want done without spelling it out explicitly. they both know exactly what they're talking about but there's always some deny ability that is planted in it. they have this

he is calling for lawmakers to subsubpoena blinken as his wife.he biden campaign coordinated a letter claiming hunter biden was disinformation. joining us now, the federalist senior contributor benjamin wine garden. good morning to you. your reaction to what ron johnson said to maria yesterday. >> good morning. and this looks like another instance of a senior level official in a democrat presidential administration perjurying himself and the question is, will there be any accountability for it and what will it look like? let's note that the house subcommittee on weaponization has already asked tony blinken to produce records of all of his communications around the conversations with those who created and signed that intelligence community so-called letter calling the hunter biden laptop story disinformation. this was not only the ultimate dirty trick on the eve of an election and huge abuse of the trust of the american pool and the intelligence -- american people and the intelligence community, but tony blinken seems to have played a pivotal role

maria: you just said you believe antony blinken lied to you under oath? >> yes, he did.e-mail hunter biden and now we have those e-mails. cheryl: well, new e-mails revealing the first was frequently e-mailing blinken and his wife when he was secretary of state. this is from 2015. krisha a, your thoughts, ron johnson making serious allegations against the secretary of state antony blinken. >> if you are going to make these claims about antony blinken lying under oath you better have evidence to prove itnd apit looks like we are seeing some of the evidence with the e-mails coming forward but certainly you should expect antony blinken to potentially be subpoenaed. whether or not he shows up is another story in front of congress. but, yes, we have to look at the evidence here to see what's to come to whether or not this occurred and whether or not he lied under oath. if that is the case, this is really significant. cheryl: we've got to prove it. that's going to be up to those that are making the accusations. >> my jaw dropped when i was listening to the interyou view. i was

blinken says he wasn't the impetus of the letter. >> joe: antony blinken is classic dc swamp, blinken doesn't engage in politics, you worked for the biden campaign to get this job as secretary of state. you were the impetus behind the letter from the former intelligence officials that insisted hunter biden's laptop -- finally admit the laptop was not russian disinformation, but real, belonged to hunter biden, he ducked that question, as well, saying, i'm not political. please. since we have media compliant and serves for this administration, he will not be asked by other news organizations and therefore will get away with it. >> ashley: that was my next question, do you think we'll see anything come of this? blinken said he never e-mailed hunter biden, messages from may of 2015, show exchange between the two attempting to schedule a meeting. this implicates him, he is saying one thing and receipts show the complete opposite. >> joe: this is not he said, she said, sources close to the secretary of state say or vice versa, there are actual receipts here like with hunter biden a laptop,

and it could cost antony blinken his job.and met with hunter biden while he was deputy secretary of state in 2015. this is when making $1 billion on the board of energy company burisma despite having zero experience working in that sector. blinken was behind that letter to the 51 former intelligence officers to push a false narrative of hunter's laptop being russian disinformation. resonating with the public despite it not being reported as it should be. 61% of voters believe blinken should be expweeched in reported role helping to suppress news in the 2020 presidential campaign. let's see what happens next. senator ron johnson promising to bring johnson up before it to testify. if he lies again, that's perjury and grounds for impeachment, ashley. >> ashley: republican senators they are accusing secretary of state antony blinken of lying under oath. they actually sent him a letter because your testimony is inaccurate congress and the public must rely on your record about your dealings with hunter biden. as much, you must pres

blinken's call help set it in motion, and mike's testimony said blinken's call did trigger it. a lot of questions moving forward and talked about china as well and i want today speak to secretary blinken how the u.s. is countering the threat, talked about the spy balloons, the hacking, the military build-up. his response to the u.s. response. >> i think what we have seen over the last couple of years is the united states putting itself in a much stronger position to deal with the x he tigs that we have with china and that we fully acknowledge. first, made historic investments in ourselves to compete effectively, investments in infrastructure to semiconductors to climate technology. >> it's not holding china back. it's not stopping china. >> the issue is i think less holding china back and making sure we are able to run faster. >> and so many people now trying to say when will the u.s. admit it has to contain china, the threat is growing to a point where the ooze is threatened itself. but secretary blinken saying the u.s. needs more investment at the moment and the way to counte

blinken's call helped set it in motion. and the drip drip doesn't stop. news learned of new 2011 emails revealing that hunter biden helped his business associates get access to vice president biden. richard, the president has said over and over again he never had anything to do -- didn't know of anything with these business associates. didn't know of his son's business dealings. but now there are receipts he met with them. >> since 2018 senate republicans have been investigating hunter biden. after that since the republicans took control of the house of representatives they've been coming on. >> harris: just approach the receipts that were just thrown into the public sphere about the fact that the secretary of state -- we'll start with the president. the president actually met with hunter biden's business association. >> what you have happening here over and over again is republicans pointing to the drip of evidence on hunter biden. my point is if you have it and you have all this evidence, call a hearing. subpoena hunter biden and when you are done send

you also have, you know blinken great job secretary of state running pen biden center getting all that chairman mccaul is threatening to sold secretary antony blinken in contempt of congress hays blinken has blown past multiple deadlines, the state department said yesterday it is unfortunate that despite having received a classified briefing on the dissent channel cable economy continues to pursue this unnecessary unproductive action speaker, they do not want to face questions, about anything, they are doing. >> i watched your show sunday when ron johnson said senator johnson, of wisconsin, said that blinken plain lied to the senate committee, about whether or not he was communicating with hunter biden, flat-out lied, of course, will be a felony, if he did it under oath questions for blinken more fundamental than total messes in afghanistan as bad as that is i think his republican with china amount of money getting paid, the fact both university of pennsylvania universities of delaware refused to say where money is coming from, how money is being spent, things you can't have, at a time

what was he abe with antony blinken? >> that's a very good question.w increasingly the hunter biden scandal doesn't involve just joe biden anymore. antony blinken was the person who instigated the letter from the former intelligence agency officials, that infamous letter from 51 former intelligence chiefs saying the hard drive is misinformation, it's russian, it's b.s., don't believe it, and that came from antony blinken. the real question i want to the ask him if he's ever under oath is who asked you to reach out to those officials? elizabeth: right. but bury the laptop that has the information about antony blinken talking to hunter biden. was hunter biden talking about how the biden family wanted to make money in overseas deals with our adversaries in china and russia? was antony blinken talking to hunter biden about fara, the foreign lobbying laws? registering as a foreign lobbyist or foreign agent would have put a spotlight on how the widen family was -- biden family was making money, cashing in on then the vice president's government job. >> right

was blinken aware of that? did he meet with some of these business partners, americans need to know, is their president compromised? >> has their secretary of state as well jeopardized national security now acting in the interests of china and xi jinping and not the american people? >> all right, greg jarrett, pamh bondi,an john levine, thank you. good to see you . appreciate it. all right. coming up. oh, chuck todd is at it again, attacking republicans overgender gender issues. vivec ramaswamy, while he helped i, let's say, educate chuck todd with a few basic facts about science, hee. will join us next friday. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep? and i'll sleep. support has a unique blend of five key ingredients that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, so you can wake up refreshed. qnol, the brand i trust now. well, what was your emergency? you wait around a minute. something awful was bound to happen. you saved me here for 911 lone star only tuesdays on fox and watch any time on hu

of course, i got a chance to interview secretary blinken today.nly very interesting indeed. >> martha: i know in your book you talk about getting a phone call from antony blinken when you were still overseas right after the attack. so today you went back to work. you're back at the state department as a correspondent for fox news. you sat down with him to talk to him about tough subjects, ben. i think we have a sound bite of one of them. the whole interview will be on "special report." let's watch this clip and you can tell us about it. >> i want to ask about the letter written concerning hunter biden's laptop. can you explain your role in that? >> one of the great benefits of this job is i don't do politics and i don't engage in it. with regard to that letter, i didn't -- it wasn't my idea. i didn't ask for it. didn't solicit it. the testimony that the former deputy director of the cia put forward confirms that. >> martha: what did you think of that response, ben? >> the first clear indication from blinken that he was not behind the letter, a lot

i'm budget were joined by secretary blinken. we rely on each other every day because to compete and succeed we must use all of the tools of american power. i'm grateful to congress for recognizing the urgency of the china challenge in taking bipartisan action to mediate. i like to underscore five key points today out the department of defense is tackling the security challenge in lockstep with our partners across the administration, around the world and here in congress. refocusing the entire department on continuing to outpace the prc. prc is our only competitor with both the intent and increasingly the capacity to reshape the international system to suit its autocratic preferences. beijing has increased bullying and provocations in the end the pacific. it has embarked upon historic buildup including space and cyberspace. it is either effeminate nor inevitable. we must face up to prc growing assertiveness. the departments mission is clear to deter aggression that threatens our national vital interest but we are investing more t

blinken. perjury i in 2020 deposition.om the laptop from hell that he did that march flight talked to benjamin hall. >> ainsley: he doesn't do politics he worked for the biden campaign when he was running for offers. >> steve: sure. exactly. >> brian: in that hearing i find it fascinating with the baby daddy drama he says i'm paying way too much child support i don't have any money. >> who is paying for his lawyers? who is sponsoring that law team? they got rebuked by the judge. listen we need your financial disclosures and you have overdone your option of redacting. you have redacted way too much. so they need to find out what he is worth and where he got his money in order to decide how much this woman should receive in order to support his child. and not have his name evidently is something very important to him. so, to me, if i'm the biden family, this is only behind the laptop in saying hunter what the hell are you thinking? why are you doing this? why are you going down there? is admit child is yours and support the

anthony blinken on this and here we want to talk about it in more detail i want to talk with our guest maria zovkina political analyst of the democratic initiatives fund named after ilka kuchereva researcher of the london school of economics and of political science mrs. maria i congratulate you glory to ukraine i congratulate you as a hero glory thank you for joining us now we will not talk about the military component of this case , only the political component the united states of america is almost demanding. it says that we are giving ukraine this storm shadow, give ukraine attacks from one side, yes, but from the other. i think that london does not expect that the reaction will be as automatic as it was in the case of providing challengers to ukraine that led to a similar decision on the abrams and the leopard two, that is, on the one hand, britain is indeed once again showing its position as a strategic partner and even i would say an ally of ukraine. this is a leadership position, and it is obvious that they hope that when ukraine proves that it is capable to use e-e exclusively

also joining us was more on tony blinken's role in all of this, with some breaking news, investigative reporter editor-in-chief of just the news.com, john solomon. you have news breaking. >> yes, sir. chairman jordan just reference it, an important piece of evidence. and an e-mail that the senior campaign adviser soon to be 2020, the secretary of state nominee, secretary of state in october 2020, he not only called micro to instigate or to trigger the letter that is the word that mike morell use, trigger, he later delivers the main payload of the letter. what is that? it is the one reference. in the letter that claims that russian does that laptop is russian disinformation. most of the letters uses some nice intelligence being -- this has the hallmarks of a russian information campaign. but russian information campaign can be something true that the russians just want to take advantage of. russian disinformation meaning the laptop is fake, false. and that one sentence that is put into that letter, the one sentence, the whole media, lobs onto comes from tony blinken when he sends the ar

antony blinken lied about emails he sent to hunter biden in 2015.a deputy director mower rael it was antony blinken literal was impetus of fraudulent letter by 51 former intelligence officials. the corruption runs deep. the deep state knows what it did. it doesn't give up secrets very easily. these investigations are arduous. they are not easy. we're peeling back layers, getting to more and more truth. liz: they would subpoena secretary of state antony blinken to testify about what is going on. striking president biden had oversight of ukraine under the biden white house while the son was sitting at the nation's lynchpins to energy for ukraine. that was buriesma. you know, "the washington post" is saying that the justice department is moving potentially on charges against hunter biden, that coinclude tax evasion charges. that is a story coming in there getting back to this bribery charge, we don't know what foreign policy decisions could have been altered. in your experience, and your expertise as a senator, is, u.s. energy foreign policy? >> i thin

i would like you to talk about tony blinken who was on joe biden's election staff. the fact that he called up mike morel who is the former director of the cia in order to accumulate almost 51 former intelligence people to sign this letter stating that the hunter biden laptop, which the fbi had since november of 2019, was a phony russian plant. joe biden purposely saying they used that letter in order to defend hunter biden and pretend that it was not real. they purposely lied about it. i believe tony blinken should step down because he should not be secretary of state if he pulled this dirty trick. unfortunately, the deep state has been protecting the biden family for years now. there is no reason that this investigation and to hunter biden should go on for five years. host: let you jump in. guest: the committee is releasing a report about this letter signed by 51 intelligence officials who said they believe the laptop and information on it wasn't disclosed ahead of the 2020 election but that -- was disclosed ahead of the 2020 election but that was russian disinform

grain, but the united states should not constantly remind russia about this, as secretary of state blinken previously said. we should not remind moscow every few weeks that it should fulfill its promises and stop using people's hunger as a weapon in the war against ukraine we should not remind russia to stop obstructing inspections so that grain can reach the vulnerable sections of the population who need it the world needs the black sea grain initiative moreover the world needs russia to stop its illegal war against ukraine that would allow farmers to return to their fields, even if it costs russia and the oligarchs to return agricultural trade to normal and immediately significantly improve global food security should go to the reconstruction of ukraine, said the president of the european commission, ursula fondolyan, commenting on the decision of the council of europe to create an international register of damages caused by russia in ukraine during the war, and will pay the initial costs of a million euros for the creation of such a register, said von deryan and called this initiative a

everything including secretary blinken himself talking about the spring offensive.t in the next few weeks. some of the papers that were released from the pentagon recently showed they only expect the ukrainians to make modest gains so i asked secretary blinken today about whether or not how he would define success in the spring offensive? and, again, his answer was a bit vegas. it as long as ukraine take back territory it. does ask serious questions about the level of support that the u.s. and other nations have given to ukraine and whether or not it is really enough to push back the russians as far as they need to go. so, it's very interesting to watch. >> we will know far more the next few weeks when that spring osceola starts. >> bret: benjamin, it's great to have you back and on the job. >> thank you, bret. >> bret: up next, the manhunt for illegal immigrant accused of killing five people in a houston suburb. ♪ ♪ everyone else you don't do enough for yourself, or your mouth. but eventually, it will remind you. when it does, aspen dental is here for you. we offer

how is tony blinken responding to this threat?eputy spokesperson calling it unfortunate that the house foreign affairs committee chairman has moved along with this threat because what the state department is saying is they believe they have provided sufficient information to the house foreign affairs committee about this cable. this dissent cable was written to the secretary of state from diplomats who are serving in afghanistan in the summer of 2021 saying the state department wasn't doing enough to prepare for the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan. and so this committee really wants to see that dissent cable because they want to see exactly what those diplomats were telling the state department to do to better prepare for what we ended up seeing was a dramatically chaotic and deadly withdrawal from the country. now, what the house foreign affairs committee is saying is that, yes, we got this briefing from state department officials on this dissent cable. we also got the written summary. but what they are saying is that, quote, th

they wanted to get the meeting back on track with secretary blinken. that makes no sense.t sends a signal for a diplomatic photo op in the wake of the chinese violating our sovereignty sends the wrong signal, a signal of weakness enboldens the chinese communist party and makes them more aggressive. we have to be clear about our ability and willingness to defend our own sovereignty, to protect allies from coercion and this idea that we'll revive economic engagement. to me it's the triumph of delusion over hard won experience. >> trace: nancy mace brought some questions about whether or not the president should go to the g-7 and maybe work on the debt limit. would you agree with that? disagree? what are your thoughts? >> i'm hopeful president would engage with speaker mccarthy in the way he hasn't. we wasted 90 days before he was willing to sit in a room with speaker mccarthy. that's unfortunate. he has to come to the table. you have to compromise. the american people put us in charge of the house they wanted us to put the emergency brake on the out of control spending that

the deadline for blinken and others thursday for that information. blinken's denial says more ties between him and hunter biden are coming to light. new reporting says antony blinken and his cabinet secretary weiss tried to influence government officials on behalf of burisma. that's that ukrainian energy company that hunter biden was sitting on the board of. oversight chairman james comer now accusing hunter's attorneys of obstructing his committee's investigation. >> in communication with our witnesses and with people who are cooperating from a subpoena standpoint, we know that they've been contacted by the attorneys for hunter biden. we feel that this is really close to crossing the line. obviously their objective is witness intimidation. this will not stand. we are going to continue to press forward. >> harris: get this. congress says there is a something going on that's actually helping out his investigation. information coming out of hunter biden in an arkansas courtroom. that's this week. it started yesterday. it is a personal matter having to

now we have -- we are all waiting for some kind of an answer from blinken.unter biden's legal team claims he paid $750,000 in child support since he learned that he fathered 4-year-old navy, the first family refusing to recognize her as a biden. the arkansas judge overseeing this battle scolded hunter's team for withholding this financial information saying, quote, the ability to redact is somewhat being abused. i'm seeing a lot of things filed especially by mr. biden's counsel, sealing things and redacting things that are not confidential. >> i think a very sad development. when you look at hunter biden, we were just talking about, he's a more tragic figure than the characters of the kids in succession, it is one thing after another. when you look at this issue, you look at him at dead beat dad and when you look at the other things coming out, it's horrible, it's sad. it has to be heartbreaking for the president to see things after the other. the real question is what connection with the president. maria: yeah, we will take a short break, when we come back

antony blinken.secretary of state. >> harris: he got a good gig. >> he has a lot of contacts. i have to ask you a question says one of the emails. the wives in hunter biden and blinken's wives are emailing back and forth. we now know it exists. enough to get him kicked out of secretary of state. it makes me question all the foreign policy decisions. that's the bigger story. >> harris: the headline you give us out of that chairman of oversight interview james comer you just had. so much for following the science. made for quite the conversation with vivek ramaswamy. his take oh transition surgeries for children and the recent approach to gender itself. >> below the age of 18 i think it is legitimate to say we won't allow mental mutilation. >> are you confident that you know that gender is binary as you are describing it. do you know it as a scientist? >> two x chrome sement seams. >> it as gender is a spectrum. >> i disagree. it has been characterized as a mental health disorder. >> if that's what the

i wanted to hear from secretary blinken just how the u.s. how the administration was trying to push back against china. here is what he said. >> i think what we've seen over the last couple of years is the united states putting itself in a much stronger position to deal with the competition we have with china that we fully acknowledge. first we've made historic investments in ourselves to compete evil. investments in infrastructure and semi conductors and climate technology. >> that's not holding china back. it is not stopping china. >> the issue is, i think, less holding china back and more making sure we're able to run faster. >> i think a lot of people would have been hoping to here a more forceful response from blinken when it came to dealing with china, holding them back. he seems to think the best way was to make the u.s. stronger rather than trying to contain china. >> dana: i notice he said that china's involvement and interest in peace in ukraine was saying we welcome anybody who wants to come to a peace agreement. but do you think

blinken: first, it is good to be here with you. this is an important day.

what are you hearing from secretary of state antony blinken?ary blinken as well as other u.s. officials don't know. it is clear washington is in the dark ask they're scrambling to figure out what happened in moscow and secretary blinken saying we need to get all of the facts and here's a bit more of what he had to say just moments ago. >> i can't in any way validate them. we simply don't know. second, i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker of salt. so -- let's see. we'll see what the facts are. >> so taking what russia says about a ukrainian attack with a very large shaker of salt raising the possibility that it could be a false flag attack or something else that ukraine is not behind. i heard from two separate u.s. officials saying whatever happened here, we were not told in advance. sarah, since the beginning of this war, the u.s. has been very afraid of anything that could provoke russia further that could lead to a nuclear attack and escalate this war. that's why you've seen over the course of this war this

have the fbi, we have formr members of the intelligence committee organized by tonyd mie blinken. >> and mike morell is a part a that. and now we also have people within the cia, as just reported by congressman jim jordan, all involved in antp effort to put, you know, to influence a 20, 20 presidential election. >> and keep in mind, the ciapliy is explicitly prohibited from interfering in domestic affairds of the united states . so if this person if thismber o a member of f the review board did encourage someone to signlet the letter or was encouraginerg people to get involved in the letter signature, that would be a real crossingto the line. to according to cia expertsnigh i talked to tonight, even some of the witnesses that jim jordan's committee interviewed said , oh, that would be a problem i cf they did ,that would be a bridge too far . so you've got the cia over its skis on interfering in domesticc policy. if these allegations are corroborated if these a, which i think has jeremy jordan has done, and the fbi going around tryinge and to censor people who actually could call into

blinken is denying it.iden center which, of course, received money from china. we are abe potential for an administration -- talking about the potential for an administration that is compromisedded along with the biden family. >> yeah, look, we've got to get to the bottom of that, and i'm sure we will. it's harder for us because we don't control the hearing schedule in the senate because the democrats are in charge. i know that jim jordan and the house republicans will be looking into that as well. the bottom line is it makes you wonder why the american media establishment was so complicit, was so determined, in fact, to bury the hunter biden family, to buy into this notion that these 50 national security experts couldn't possibly be wrong. they apply a different standard here as they do with conservatives on the supreme court. we've got to continue to call them out on it lest they take control by deceit. maria: all right. senator, it's good to have you this morning. thanks very much. congrats on all your w
