christopher: i still like leverage loans. equity community has used leverage loans in the last decade. if you look across our credit book globally, our leverage loan debt is higher than the unsecured high-yield bond book. which shows the high-yield bond market is the highest quality market we have seen. there is definitely more credit risk despite being secure. the technical and the low market, 70% of the holder basis are cielo's -- clo's. i think that is the technical. alix: does it come back question mark christopher: of course it will come back. it just takes time. a lot of buyers the liabilities have been banks. it just takes a lot of this to get out of the gears to get things going. to your question of what brings this back, brings confidence, it is a lot of time cash building and confidence. that will bring beckley clo level -- bring back the clo level. guy: with the lack of risk that is wanting to be taken right now, what kind of m&a are we looking at and what kind of deal flow are we thinking about relative to recent

christopher wray needs to go. the fbi hyper- partisan far left washington field office must be dismantled. the entire bureau which used to be the premier law enforcement agency in the world has got to be rehabilitated top to bottom. we will no longer have equal justice or application in our laws under this country. that means our constitution is meaningless. that means the fbi under both comey and christopher wray has been weaponize and politicized just like like the department of justice. since 2015 the bureau through cinder blocks on the scales of not one but two presidential elections. they pushed the russia hoax. they pre-bonked the true hunter biden laptop story that they had since december 2019 and now they are obstructing chairman calmer's investigation into biden's alleged bribery scheme. they want to offer no assistance. oddly enough they still don't even seem interested in the content of hunter's laptop. hunter's very nervous looking attorney. not the good one abbe lowell who is a serious lawyer who did

you want this document from christopher wray. he says he's going to deliver it tomorrow.oes not allow the entire committee to see it, where are we? what happens then? >> well, again, maria, let's look at where we first started. when we realized there was a document, we sent a subpoena. he did not want to comply with the subpoena. i called the director and told him i need this subpoena, we have a responsibility to oversee the fbi, a constitutional responsibility. if you do not send this, we hold you in con empty. last -- contempt. last week i was actually on "fox & friends" as the deadline came, and i spoke directly to christopher -- to commissioner wray that i will move contempt. he then changed his mind that he would let the chairman and the rankers see the document and bring it to the house. that is not good enough. that is also not good enough for the secretary of state, to think you're only going to show one member. we have a responsibility of oversight. if they do not comply and allow every person on oversight, republican or democrat -- that's their responsibility to

oversight committee james comer will initiate contempt of congress hearings against fbi director christopher wray this very week. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. a document allegedly links joe biden to 5 million bribery scheme, when he was vice president and the chairman says every lawmaker needs to see it. >> my question to the fbi was, what have you done with this accusation? the fbi admitted this is highly credible human sources and admitted they paid this source substantial amount of money and hoo had been part of the bureau for 13 years and their answer was, it is part of an ongoing investigation. we don't know which investigation, we don't know when the investigation began. we know two weeks ago they tried to act like this form didn't exist and today the fbi is bringing this form to the house of representatives. >> carley: alexandria hoff, good morning. >> alexandria: according to the agent, director wray made the document available, but they say they can't hand it over without handing over sources. kevin mccarthy does not buy tha

probably not just holding in contempt christopher wray, also blinken. this is within our roles and responsibilities for oversight. this needs to move forward and set prus precedence. >> todd: will republicans be closer to exposing the biden family scheme after today? >> i truly believe they will. and chairman comer has said when he went in and talked to secretary yellen he was told he wouldn't find anything. what he found was series, spider web of llc's, they were laundering money through. about five members of the biden family who received 5 million to get foreign policy plays for then vice president biden. this is showing corruption, we know his family received payment from china. we know about family that come out of moscow from the mayor's wife to hunter biden and now we are finding out not just hunter, his brother james and the rest of the family have been colluding with the then vice president and now president on funding. >> todd: comer and jamie raskin will be reviewing, as well, here is what he had to say. republican majority on the committee i

the fbi and christopher wray have no leg to stand on, this is done for one reason only, to protect joeiden and his family. >> carley: the fbi has been back and forth with the committee. james comer initially subpoenaed this document last month. the fbi did not comply with the subpoena or turn over the document to congress. they set up this phone call and plan to let lawmakers take a look at this information at fbi headquarters. they are not nocompliance. congress wanted that document. >> carley: james comer saying we have oversight over the fbi and entitled to this information. >> todd: you don't tell the court how to do its job, they tell you, and the court is james comer. >> todd: texas high school postponing graduation, 85% of seniors failed. parents are furious with that district. >> this is a -- failure of leadership and accountability. >> carley: class of 2023 got to walk across the stage thanks to quick thank youing of the community, the mother of the class president is here to explain, coming up next. how do we decide what hotel to book? ♪ got you. choice hotels has a hotel for

fbi director christopher ray has unclassified documents that he is refusing to you the american people pay his salary. asow of now, the hearings are on hold but each and every day with your public viewing i will be calling on christopher ray to be held in contempt of congress. [applause] in these documents we learn the corruption of the family. you've already heard about the members who've received at least $10 million that we know of from foreign adversaries to hide these transactions. there is no biden family business other than crime and corruption. on the floor of an oil and gas company, charisma they set themselves" we know he is not smart. [laughter] it's okay because his dad will protect us. a little damning for the big guy. a 5 million-dollar bribe. you have seen him publicly announce about his threat. it's alld tied together. and what happens when you first learn about biden threatening to withhold if he didn't lose his job asos prosecutor. and more corruption biden has classified documents, hillary clinton has classified documents, mike pence has classified documents. but whe

wray and not what he is getting from christopher wray.e subpoena which is why the issue of condition tempt will continue to come up until christopher wray produces those documents for the committee. >> first won't admit he has the documents. then he admits they haven't. then he says no one can see it. he says you guys can see it but i'm going to redact it. james comer said no, it's not up to you to do this. do we have to go through the court process why would a republican appointed fbi director be so into going into the four corners offense? >> right. well, obviously protecting the president and the president's family and there is more than one documents, so i mean null the fbi complies and quits hiding behind their agency to protect the biden family. the american people deserve to have answers. this deserves to be investigated to the fullest extent of the law. we will follow the facts. if it ends up we have to refer charges to the doj. that's what will happen. we can't do an investigation with the fbi stonewalling the committee doing the

they want to see from christopher wray, we haven't seen that document. at this point, they made huge promises. i think that's where they are struggling with. they made promises based off of joe biden's correctness. there's no questions asked without any wiggle room. if they don't come through on that, on joe biden himself being corrupt, then they have failed in their effort as what they said they were going to do at the beginning. >> rotimi, how would you recommend democrats fight back against these republican efforts? what is the strategy for democrats here? both democrats in congress, and ultimately the biden campaign who will have to field to these questions. because the way the narrative gets pushed out is it starts in a committee, but sweeps its way into the media and becomes a talking point for reporters when they speak to president biden. >> well, i think the best thing democrats can do right now is continue to tell the truth, as they've been doing. also, i think taking these clips that we've seen of republicans literally admitting that they are u

is that going to affect christopher wray in any way?een cons contempt of cons before and people were still in their jobs and nothing changed. >> no, he'll have his job until there's a new republican president, i expect. look who he is protecting. look how the clintons have been protected over the course of time. look how the intelligence agents, former members of the intelligence agency protected biden and his son during the presidential campaign. i mean, they talk about russian interference in the elections. the justice department interfering in our elections and covering up the truth is a bigger problem than any foreign adversary we have. maria: that's really discouraging. we'll be watching your moves. thanks very much for joining me this morning. austin scott, thank you sir. coming up, kentucky senator rand paul is noor the 8:00 hour. he will explain his alternative to the debt ceiling bill. then a bold question from the press, completely stuns the white house. it makes a buzz this morning. don't miss it. you're watching "mornings wi

so the question for you, christopher wray, you're the fbi director, you swore you'd clean up this, you know, once the premier law enforcement agency in the world, no longer, sadly, for you and for, you know, are you blind? and merrick garland, you're okay with all of this? this doesn't in any way raise any questions in your mind? you condone this behavior? at best hunter was likely lobbying his father on behalf of foreign clients, at worst he was collecting brides in exchange for specific policy decisions as alleged by the fbi source. now, but did hunter even register as a foreign agent? will he be charged with any fara violations like say paul manafort or will he skate by with a couple gun charges and a couple tax charges just to keep a degree of spr separation betw hunter and joe and acted like they are fair as they go forward with any plans they might have to indict donald trump which, by the way, i think we all know the answer. joe biden will be protected the at all costs, especially by this fbi and this doj, all while his political opponent donald trump will be persecuted around e

christopher, first to you, in the way this turned out, it is a bit odd, isn't? it putin was posturing very seriously, about the severe punishments of these traders, a knife in the back of the country, yet this just seems to have been an amnesty agreed with prigozhin, and he has gone off to belarus? >> i think is probably a lot we are not seeing in terms of what this deal actually was, and who brokered it, whether the chinese were involved and so on. in the next few weeks, i think we will see this play out. i will be surprised if shoigu stayed in power as defense minister. the other thing that has not happened here is a focus on the fsb, its failures after -- the close ally of putin, and on the security council, former security director would part of that accountability probably. >> do you believe, it's come to the military aspect of this with you, philip? do you agree that putin is definitely looking weaker, when he put this rebellion down? but it did make significant progress, didn't? it as we were discussing earlier, prigozhin is out there is saying the whole

ridoes not thaurn over will he go to prison >> this it is up to christopher ray i would not want to be held in contempts of congress and end up in prison the former head of the fbi this it is a simple request y. well is a reason he is holding to it we don't know it. >> you know again upon see upon what happens the charges are manage in on thursday. and we will see what happens with this. >> yea. nicole parker, thank you, great to see you >> thank you. >> now become to top story fights in a protest over sex education outside a school board meet nothing los angeles county. police had to jump inform parents are upset over a california law giving students the right to go by preferred pronouns. we will have more with cart on this story and later in the night cap we will be the heart of summer vacation season would you let your spouse take an extended vacation without you? we are not talking about a few days but weeks without you. let us know on social media. weigh in we will show you the result and read the best responses in the night cap. chevy silverado factory-lifted trucks. where wil

for example, many people have criticisms about christopher wray. and democrats think he blew it on january six. there is lots of reasons why president might get rid of him. but to systematically go through for the purpose of enacting revenge for your own personal justification is the epitome of what autocrats are doing. it is an attack on the rule of law. trump is not only try to get rid of all the people who went after him. he's planning on pardoning himself. this is a complete -- this is what dictators do. this is what autocrats do. i think republicans as they entered the beginning of the primary season. have to really think twice. this is not just about defending trump from the mainstream media. this is about putting someone in office who's declared purpose is to essentially undermined the rule of law. that is serious stuff. republicans have to think twice before they think about bringing the sky back in. office >> does a distinction. there are eventually retribution. to some people, you can get your head around why trump would do that. this bec
