immigrations customs enforcement and fbi director chris wray.ur good friends and partners the associate attorney general as well as the deputy attorney general lisa monaco. and alejandro america's secretary for the department of homeland security who is here again and it's always been at her memorial service at where grateful for all that he does for the men and women in law enforcement. we are proud to welcome our nation's top cop united states attorney general merrick garland whom i will introduce more fully any moment. mr. speaker, general carlin, secretary mayorkas, distinguished guests and asking colleagues, friends and family members i thank you for joining us on this beautiful day as we gather to celebrate the lives of 443 american heroes. i asked to do look to left into your right. look at the sea of uniformed officer standing among us. in every community across this great nation there are brave men and women just like those you see here protecting life and property so that we may live in a society without fear. they sued up and show up

so, chris wray should not be let go. and if you talk like that, though, he probably wouldn't get anywhere close to the republican nomination. anderson, so, that's the big problem right now. who's gonna step up in the chasm and actually speak like a president, think like a president, unite the country, bringing our values back together and talk to people in a common sense way. instead of listening to political consultants tell them, you have to get further to the right than donald trump, because if he falls out of the race, you're gonna be the guy that takes over and you've got to get his base. so, i'm hoping for a more transformative candidate than that. instead of the stuff that we're getting right now. >> i mean, again, as we -- and we've talked about this endlessly -- enough primary, with a lot of candidates, if trump has 30%, that is presidential behavior now. what desantis is doing, is essentially, president trump's playbook. >> yes, i obviously disagree with that. as an entrepreneur, we need and entrepreneurial can

director chris wray, the u.s. marshal service director ron davis. last week, the justice department held a series of memorials for fallen law enforcement officers from our own agencies. . we heard stories of extraordinary heroes and we met the families they left behind. to the family member, partner, colleagues and friends who have traveled here today remember your loved one we know it is impossibletowns the grief you endure or to fully comp rehence your loss. so as we pay tribute to the law enforcement officers who sacrificed their lives in service to our country, we also honor the ongoing sacrifices by those they loved the most. thank you so much for being here. in just a few minutes we'll hear the niesms 443 officers who comprise this area's -- this year's roll call of heroes. these are individuals who answered the call to serve from a wide variety of backgrounds, bringing different perspectives and different experiences to their work. they served in big city and small town, some served for decades and mentored generations of colleagues, others h

i'll read you a statement we got from fbi director chris wray who says they made a lot of reforms at the fbi. he says had these reforms been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in this report could have been prevented. he notes that a lot of this -- these mistakes happened before chris wray became fbi director. >> a lot of people who follow law enforcement might not be surprised that in general sometimes there is an overzealousness -- >> confirmation bias is what john durham calls it. >> it doesn't only happen with presidential candidates. it happens to the little guys on the street and don't get four-year multi-million dollar investigations to exonerate them. evan, thank you. >>> let's bring in adam kinzinger, former republican senator in illinois. on first blush, there's no criminality that he found, but pretty damning for the fbi. >> yeah, it is. you hit it on the head when you talked about confirmation bias. we went in to 2016. this is the first presidential candidate at least in my lifetime that expressed sympathy for vladimir putin. you had the paul manafort issues. you h

that means that chris wray at the fbi has got to do things like secretary of defense austin has done which is to try to identify incoming violent extremists before they get in, and then after they're on board because i have to tell you, i think there's more coming. i think there's more revelations coming about who was president inside and outside that capitol. my sources tell me there were retired fbi agents clearly attending the rally and in the march to the capitol. even if they weren't inside. we already know an active duty dea agent was arrested for breaching security inside the capitol. i can tell you i worked alongside somebody at a very high level who i jaw-droppingly saw on fox news red faced and screaming about the search warrant at mar-a-lago and then spouting conspiracy theory fabrications like he's gone off his rocker. he was completely sane and respected when i worked with him in the fbi. so to think that they're not immune, they -- they're immune, they're not immune. the question is vetting and how you continue that vetting. i know, for example, the fbi has a unit inter

>> i think that was reflected in the statement that you read from chris wray the fbi director who reallyhe decisions made by his predecessor james comey and andrew mccabe the deputy director at the time and sending the message and has been in his testimony before congress, that was the old regime. this couldn't happen again the same way. particularly around the rules about getting these kinds of surveillance warrants, but also, the treatment of presidential campaigns. there's an acknowledgement among some inside the doj there should be a higher bar because of the impact of the revelations of that investigation. and there's an awareness however just fids this investigation was and convictions on ancillary matters the question it was trying to answer, it didn't come up with the answer that a lot of people thought was there, which was didn't find trump coordination, formal coordination, with russia and put the country through a lot. the justice department really wants to distance itself from that and make sure that doesn't happen again. >> is that chris wray saying he would not have opened

in the space of a few hours, he pledged to the fire fbi director chris wray, he slammed jay powell, chairmanderal reserve for allowing inflation to get out of control, he called for an overhaul of public health and immigration, a complete overhaul of those policies, he preeted his attacks on woke -- repeated his atracks on -- attacks on woke corporations as well as unions, teachers and others who have used their power to promote a radical progressive agenda. >> i'm running to lead a great american comeback. we see crime infesting the city, the border overrun, we see the federal government making it more difficult for families to make ends meet, and i think the doj and fbi have lost hair way. so as president, you have a responsibility to be involved in holding those agencies accountable, clearing out people who are not doing the job and making sure that they're doing the people's business and they're not abusing their authority. gerry: now, that message of a full frontal assault on the nation's institutions is in recognition of the scale of the many crises facing the country, and desantis cle

chris wray has made himself a lackey of the regime. under his watch, they have intimidated, harassed, and trapped american citizens that have been deemed enemies of the biden regime. they have raided mar-a-lago, an unconstitutional raid of a former president's home. the fbi created a terrorist threat tag following the dobbs supreme court decision in 2022. owe boyle confirmed -- o' boyle confirmed that the purpose of the tag was to target pro-life individuals and now wray has weaponized the fbi against his own agents. these brave fbi whistleblowers have been stripped of their salaries and their security clearances, simply for coming forward and bravely telling the truth. fbi director christopher wray must be impeached. i introduced articles of impeachment against attorney general merrick garland. since merrick garland took over in march it 2021, he's completely weaponized the department of justice. the politicization of the department of justice has resulted in the persecution of the left's political enemies in a real two-tier justice s

but, some point will turn and bite them as well but at the moment you've chris wray is useful has doneot to fix the culture in that place he has been a disaster but safe, at least until republicans take back power in washington. maria: how disturbing, always a pleasure to talk with you thank you so much miranda devine joining us. >> thanks, back with nicole malliotakis on the other side of this break. . . how can you sleep on such a firm setting? gab, mine is almost the same as yours. almost... just another word for not as good as mine. save 50% on the sleep number limited edition smart bed. plus, special financing. only at sleep number.

there is no confidence in chris wray among republicans anymore. raises questions is the f.b.i.s point? >> dana: a question there for you is something i think that the white house, if they're watching now, and they might be, they will continually say there is no evidence that the republicans have put forward that ties joe biden, the president himself. could this change? could that change today or is it still about other people? >> potentially that's exactly right. james comer cannot tell you the specific crime that joe biden has committed and that is something that could change with the emergence of this document. although let's see. we haven't seen it yet. >> bill: what has been talked about is that the document shows proof of a bribe? that involved a foreign country? >> yeah >> bill: and it could have been $5 million worth? >> allegedly. we haven't seen the document yet. a $5 million bribe not from china. it ties joe biden to a scheme that was a preib for policy type deal where the u.s. policy would change in response to cash transaction but again, we have to see. >> bill: you

but oversight chairman james comer is set to have a one-on-one meeting with the fbi director chris wrayrelease this incriminating evidence to the public. comer is ready it hold wray in contempt. what's wray going to do? release it and prove joe biden not only knew about hunter's dirty business deals but also that he was directly involved? or is wray going to be the fall man that keeps the biden crime family cover-uurley is a george washington law school professor and a fox news contributor and he joins us now. professor, welcome. so what do you predict. >> thank you, rachel. >> rachel: of course. what do you predict christopher wray will do? >> well, by guess is he is going to resist. these forms are raw information at the fbi usually doesn't release. this is not your usual case. what is being alleged here is a form of corruption. not just by the president but a corruption of the fbi. that this committee is looking into whether the government helped shield president biden and his families. his family members. so, that's something that falls within the oversight function of congress. in

news oversight committee chair man james comer threatening to hold the fbi in contempt, that means chris wray, unless they hand over a potentially incriminating biden document. also tonight fox news has learned comer will meet with christopher wray in the coming days and comer will explain as we continue. thanks for being with fox. ♪ ♪ >> sean: breaking news tonight, a new escalation in the fight between congress and the fbi over a document that purportedly now accusing your president, joe biden, of participating in a criminal bribery scheme that he took specific action in exchange for money for his family as vice-president. now, the house oversight committee chairman james comer says he is now prepared to hold the bureau, the fbi bureau, that is, in contempt of congress if they do not return or turn over that document. now, we asked the fbi for their side of the story. they actually responded and they told us that they remain, quote, committed to cooperating with congress's oversight request on the matter. well then hand it over. all right, to that end, fox news has learned tonight that the

the fbi run by christopher wray, who was a republican attorney in good standing and represented chris christie, chris christie passed his name to donald trump. donald trump's handpicked fbi agent. that's who mr. friend is maligning this week. he's being supported by a charitable organization and he's not a charity, is a bombshell. >> the fbi has been exposed, actually it's mr. friend has been exposed. he's been exposed for taking money and providing his testimony as a paid agent, if you will, kash patel, who represents a right wing ideology, renary narrative and compounds an agenda that is inimical to constitutional democracy as we saw on january 6th. that's who this is. if anyone has been exposed and compromised it's not the fbi. it's mr. friend. >> what we do as a country when only one of the country's two parties and in the case it's the party of the minority, views the fbi suspending two individuals as a credible act, a justifiable act, what do you do if the house republicans and the majority then take and platform them and elevate them. >> i think it's important to remember, let'

>> what's clear, there is very little confidence in chris wray at the fbi and the earlier reporters off people improperly surveilled, comes on the heels of the durham report. since both of those incidences we have seen the fbi handling of the hunter biden investigation, they went out of their way to bury the information on the hard drive and suppressing free speech on twitter. a lot of issues that remain to be uncovered and i think if a republican takes the job in 2024, wray's job would be in serious jeopardy. >> sandra: john. >> john: big news from amazon founder jeff bezos, his big announcement coming up. plus, facebook's parent company facing a record-setting fine. why the european union is ordering meta to pay up to more than -- pay up more than a billion dollars and how the u.s. government might actually get involved. our founders 116 days to debate and draft the u.s. constitution? turns out they didn't trust the printing of paper money, but they did trust gold and silver. article 1, section 10. gold and silver. good for the founders, good for me, good for you. rosland capital - i

that really disturbs me in the durham report is that here we have all of these improvements that chris wrayhat, they sat on the biden -- the hunter biden laptop prior to the 2020 general election. so the weaponization of this institution that should instill public trust, what's happening is quite the opposite and i think the average voter, unless they're watching this network and our companion network, fox news, they're not hearing these stories, they don't know that the fbi is this political organization that advances the agenda of the democrat party and helps candidates and that's the thing that's very, very disturbing. maria: right. you're right. and that's partly because the media is complicit, mitch. >> yeah. 100%. if you look at the twitter files, the back and forth before the 2020 election between people in high levels of twitter, people in counter intelligence, people at the fbi, i mean, it's absolutely appalling that this kind of linkage exists. maria: it's unbelievable to me, krysia, that the mead can keep this up and not recognize the threat this creates for our country. the rest

. >> is that chris wray saying he would not have opened the investigation? we only have a couple seconds left. is that how you read it? >> i wouldn't say that. he thinks there were steps not taken there should have been more care taken and use of things like the steele dossier that should never have happened. >> thank you very much. we're going to be hearing about this again, no doubt. that's it for me today, though. "deadline white house" starts right now. >>> hi there, everyone. it's 4:00 in new york. for years now, the durham probe has loomed large on the right, part delusional fantasy, part hobby horse for the right, a fulfillment of the disgraced twice impeached once indictment ex-president and his loyal attorney general's pledge to investigate the investigators. it was a flashing red warning sign, though, of the politization of the trump era justice department. now, after an investigation that lasted four years, twice as long as the russia probe, it was initially set up to investigate, special counsel john durham has released a final report. it's more

and i had seen as cia director and went to director chris wray it's their job, my counter espionage inside the states is fbi responsibility and said chris why can't you stop this. he said it's big. and i said, well, i can stop it as the told president, we need to close it, he directed its closure. it was a really fun episode. it's as as you detail the smoke rising it's a great story because i get to call the chinese ambassador and tell him, you got to be out in 72 hours. and and i tell them it's because spying and he denies it. you know, there were no spies in houston, texas like this was a weather balloon. same story story. and and it was it was it was great fun because because i literally get back to my and my friend brian comes in and flips the tv's and it's the houston fire department responding to smoke at the chinese consulate. houston, texas. so of all the leaders all the leaders that you dealt with will come back. the american category. who was the most difficult but to get a read on to prepare for and negotiate with fishing thing far and and explain to us why that is a close book

>>> top house republicans including house speaker kevin mccarthy today threatened fbi director chris wrayceedings. it's the latest in an ongoing fight for documents related to the investigation to the business dealings of president biden's family. part of a wider attack on the justice department. the former president has called for congress to, quote, defund the doj and fbi. just last week, florida governor and presidential candidate ron desantis said that if he wins the white house, he would fire director wray, quote, on day one. it's a fight my next guest knows very well. james comey was fired by the former president. just before air i spoke with him about all this, plus his fiction "central park west," a crime novel. congratulations on the new book. >> thank you so much. >> did you know you were a writer? is that something you had been interested? >> i always loved to write. i wrote in high school as a journalist, college as a journalist. actually, the last piece of fiction i wrote before this, i remember the date actually. it was the night i was writing in my room when a serial rapist

chris wray has made some changes to the way the fbi does things, transparency and accountability in governmentcritical and especially in the agency responsible for law enforcement, people need confidence that it's not politicized and clearly it was in this case. >> sandra: dare i ask, senator, anybody will learn lessons from this? >> media, prizes awarded for everything of that, incredibly ironic, but that said, follow-up hearings, the house next week is going to have durham up there and have him testify. so i think it will shed more light on what actually happened. but it's a good reminder and a good lesson to all of us about, you know, the way that even institutions of people should have confidence in this country can often times get politicized. >> john: lindsey graham and jim jordan said they think some people are owed a few apologies. >> wouldn't it be nice for the agency to apologize to those that their lives were ruined, nice for the president to admit we got it wrong. none of that's going to happen. >> the very people, the very people who told us things that were not true are now out t

. >> i would not keep chris wray as director of fbi. there'd be a new one on day one. an attorney general, you need someone that's got a really strong backbone. if you're going in there and you're taking care of business, the washington post is not going to the like you, new york times is not going to like you. you're going to the get attacked by cnn, and you've got to the wear that as a badge of honor. you can't try to please polite society because otherwise you'll get captured by the institution itself. stuart stuart ben.com flesh -- ben domenech joins me now. he's talking about getting rid of the fbi director on day one, christopher wray. that is exactly what republicans want to the hear, isn't it? >> i do think that it's exactly what republicans want. and it's also, you know, in so many different ways what desantis is doing is implying that his approach would be different than former president trump's when he got into office. there are a lot of republicans, and i'm, you know, along with them, someone who agrees that on day one james comey deserved to be fired, that

particular here and what they're doing, what everywithin at the top of the community, the white house, chris wrayout all the stops imagineable to hide the president of united states' personal family from getting possible public scrutiny. it's in the backdrop of biden's re-election campaign which is already not doing well. the last thing that biden and a kamala harris want is another headache, another episode with hunter biden. so that is what is going on here. but again, to kind of get back to your interview with congressman burchett, i think that congress would be remiss if they did not consider full and forthright use of the entireity of all the tools the constitution's framers gave them and that very much includes threats to defund agencies and ultimately the impeachment pow twier if need be. maria: -- power if need be. maria: looks like that's all they've got. thanks very much for weighing in. josh hammer joining us this morning. we'll be listening to you soon. thank you, josh. your online love interest, a money scam? my next guest is here on how your new dream boat could be a chat bot. it's

that have to be but that's not the problem and i have to say that there have been some changes, chris wray and i put a lot of changes into effect as this thing and there is some more changes that can be made. >> it is interesting to listen to not only andrew weissman on the mueller probe. but also andrew mccabe. >> yeah. vehemently disagree with mr. durham's alexandria ocasialexcharacterizationsof wh. we portray as deep misunderstanding of not only what we knew at the time but how we make these decisions. >> you have with john durham, look, it's a big fat nothing and it reminds me of the sort of weaponization hearings that are going on where there also is, they are just falling flat on their face because there is no there there. >> bret: that's what you hear there again and again. >> the "there there was that this investigation was launched by mccabe who directed that it be brought immediately, opened immediately. before they even interviewed australian diplomat and that turned out to be a nothing burger. they then proceeded with this investigation which they nigh knew -- they had just rec

telling his supporters that when he gets into office, one of the first things he will do is kick out chris wray, and he will go after and make sure that those weapons of politicization don't exist. isn't that exactly what he's doing, by trying to use his own administration to raise money for his campaign? >> hypocrisy and shamelessness, those are words that don't apply to ron desantis's or the public -- they laughter the fact that any of us try to point out that duplicity, because they are, by any means necessary party. what happened to the gop, sadly, not the -- still represents a traditional republican party. -- that party has left carlos curbelo, sadly. now in places the maga party, it's by any means necessary, if we break the law, if we have to be hypocritical. as long as we gain power and hold on to power at whatever cost, that's what they and their voters are behind. that's why they will excuse any fault, overlook any hypocrisy. >> quickly, carlos, i got a minute, we have desantis signing a law, letting him run for president of the united states, and still remain in office as the governor
