elizabeth: listen, get your reaction to former dni john ratcliffe.tually surprised to hear mark zuckerberg say that because what he related the fbi told him was exactly the opposite of what my conversations with the fbi director himself at the time were about. look, we knew when adam schiff was in october of 2020 talking about hunter biden's laptop as russian disinformation and using his platform as the chairman of the intelligence committee to mislead voters about that, we knew that simply wasn't true, that it wasn't russian disinformation. we all agreed look, we need to counter this. i put out a statement and was backed up by the department of justice and fbi that this was not russian disinformation. unfortunately a lot of folks misled the american people about that and the american voter about that two weeks before a presidential election. it is election interference. you know to the extent these allegations are true, that fbi agents were knowingly putting bad information out there and if they're engaged in election interference, we've got a real

john ratcliffe, great to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >> the biden administration was forced to release the search warrant affidavit four their politicized raid on joe biden's main political opponents house. what is in it? a lot of it is redacted. not all of it. we will tell you what we know. >>> less andrew tate. there is a particularly interesting section that we haven't put on the air yet. but the importance of self respect really caught our eye. it is short, but worth watching. we will be right back. >>> in a democratic form of government the elected people have all the power because obviously they were elected. they speak for the population. and the branch of government the president has the final say because he is the elected one. all the bureaucrats work four him. they have to obey him because he speaks with a population of the country. that's how the country works. and the federal government the president has the constitutional authority to declassify whatever he wants. they don't have to follow procedure

former trump intelligence official john ratcliffe spoke to cbs' catherine herridge. >> the unsealing of this today isn't going to do much to, again, tamp down the-- the chaos, the confusion. >> reporter: and tonight, sources tell cbs news that some members of the intelligence community will soon begin assessing whether their sources were compromised, based on what this investigation has revealed so far. major. >> garrett: bob costa, thank you. now to the economy. wall street ended the week with its worst day in months. the dow jones fell more than 1,000 points. all three major indexes were off more than 3%. the sell-off began after fed chair jerome powell delivered a stark warning about the future of interest rates. here is cbs' nikki battiste. >> reporter: the pain on wall street was felt tonight after this blunt assessment from the fed chair, jerome powell. >> while higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses. these are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. >>

when you are in congress, tim scott, trey gowdy and john ratcliffe, we would go to dinner like every single month. they would talk about our families, what is happening, we would argue who is more conservative, you vote for this? i thought i would win based upon my votes. but you know what i found out the other day, i thought tim was the most conservative, but i'm going to give it to trey. because when i look back, i bought every single dinner we have gone on. [laughter] that's pretty good. that's pretty good. to the governor, i think you talk more about california history that california allows today, so thank you. [laughter] [applause] i came to see what a real governor looks like. [cheers] you know, i knew the silver elephant was important. i knew it was powerful. this is more powerful than a could imagine, because it is the first time i have ever seen lindsey graham at 9:27 p.m. and not on the hannity show.

. >> martha: former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe is standing by.i, aishah. >> good morning to you both. the white house this morning is in a very delicate dance calling on china to not escalate tensions any more. speaker nancy pelosi overnight accusing china of standing in the way of taiwan. >> i just hope that it is really clear that while china has stood in the way of taiwan participating and going to certain meetings, that they understand that they will not stand in the way of people coming to taiwan. >> she met with the president of taiwan and offered solidarity as taiwan defends itself and its freedom. china is condemning the entire visit. the chinese army planning a series of air and sea military drills including live fire exercises around the island starting thursday. chinese ambassador tweeting the u.s. must pay for its own mistake and we mean what we say. the country now sum oning the u.s. ambassador. white house trying very hard to make clear to the chinese there is no change in the one china policy. the u.s. does not support taiwan indep

here now is john ratcliffe, who is the former director of national intelligence. , it's good to see you again. >> good to see you, judge. >> judge jeanine: what about the answers to those questions. i mean, first of all, it turns out that there are some attorney-client records that the doj says we are sorry we did that we have our own people reviewing this part of justice department. we shouldn't have done that. i mean, this is the kind of thing where a special master is someone who would be, i think, appropriate why wouldn't you what the department of justice and fbi have done have inflamed partisan divisions and ms. trust among american penal by an agency and the fbi that has previously well documented gone after donald trump unfairly, been caught spying on his campaign. why wouldn't you appoint a special master to try to tamp down some of the emotions on this issue and give the american public some sense that maybe this process will get more fair as things go along. but, your point about, you know, dni and the damage assessment. you know, that's taking place the

we know they were aware it was misinformation because john ratcliffe said it was legit and hunter biden'sartner came forward to put his name and fails behind the laptop story. i'm not saying this is american. nobody trusts our intel community or the justice department. there is a reason they didn't give the crew on the titanic a raise at the end of the crews. >> gillian: i at least partially trust the intelligence community. also abide by the adage trust by verify. i want to ask you about this. mass antifa protestors showed up to defend attendees at a drag queen brunch. the counter protestors clashed with other demonstrators who gathered to oppose the event. at certain point things did get tense. police said there after a republican state lawmaker put in legislation that it would prevent kids from going to a drag show. jimmie, why can't parents send their 2-year-olds to drag shows if they want to? >> i'll answer this as a parent. i have one kid. the state would never let us have two. you guys are done breeding. this is an issue very illustrative of where we have gotten to in our politics.

we should also mention that john ratcliff, the former director of national intelligence, is in talksas talked about some of those conversations. she told "usa today" that former vice president mike pence told her he would not support invoking the 25th amendment. and his support would have been required for a step like that. but wolf, these are the exact types of conversations that the select committee wants to learn about. they want to learn about how concerned cabinet officials were about trump's behavior and how serious were those conversations about the 25th amendment. >> important questions indeed. melanie, thank you very much for that report. the reaction on capitol hill tonight to the stunning announcement by the attorney general, merrick garland, that he's asking a judge to unseal the warrant authorizing the search of former president trump's florida home at mar-a-lago. jessica dean is working this part of the story for us. jessica, very bold move from the justice department. what are you hearing up on capitol hill tonight? >> reporter: certainly, it's important to remember th

the head of our intelligence community at the time, john ratcliffe, said it was not russian disinformationmedia a reason to ignore the story and the media of lots. i'm think anyone is surprised adam schiff would play politics? senator grassley wants to know if the fbi was playing politics too? and he joins us now, senator what prompted you to write this letter? >> , whistleblowers coming to me and i listen to a lot of whistleblowers because they know where the bodies are buried. and with evidence a special agent in charge was making decisions of what investigation should go ahead and which ones should be stopped. and we know by his social media comments that he is very, very liberal. very, very partisan. and we have evidence from these whistleblowers that he would have fuzzy information from newspaper reports about trump. and would allow investigation go ahead. you do not let innovation go ahead on fuzzy newspaper reports. then we had concrete information about of lot of things of hunter biden has done a stock that and labeled it as disinformation. now that is political interference in the

. >> shannon: i want to play something from john ratcliffe.d the american people a very good favor. they got an accurate depiction of who communist china is these days. not a misrepresentation that china is just some strategic competitor. they got to see the chinese president promised a fiery death to the american president. they saw chinese-run or controlled media advocate for shooting down a democrat speaker of the house. china is our number one existential threat. >> shannon: how much of this is the fact that resident she is getting ready to run for reelection there? he couldn't simply leave this visit unanswered, especially iff you want to telegraph strength. how much of everything factors into this response? >> been seeing a lot of republicans praising nancy pelosi for this photo opposite she made to taiwan. and it is good to take on china. the problem is this is nowhere near sufficient to what is the matter at hand. i mean, china is much more than just a competitor. if they a strategic adversary. you don't see it being part of some large

i had on this program john ratcliffe, the then-sitting director of national intelligence, who told ust the 51 who signed their names to this were wrong and that, in fact, it was not russian disinformation. he told us that on this program and on fox business, "mornings with maria." senator ron johnson has been investigating the business dealings of the biden family from day one, and he joins me right now. good morning, senator. a thanks very much for being here morning. >> good morning, maria. maria: your with reaction to what we heard from mark zuckerberg first. >> well, it's another piece of the puzzle of the politicization of these principal agencies. you know, the weaponization of federal a agencies began under the obama administration with lois lerner weaponizing the irs against obama's political opponents, and the partisanship, the politicization just continued. let's say the exoneration of hillary clinton, the editing of james comey's exoneration e-mail. by the way, that was the same cast of characters inside the fbi that immediately went into crossfire hurricane. we now know th

joining us former dni of staff with john ratcliffe, with the heritage foundation, dustin carmack. twitter allies in the media twitter is great, aboveboard, nothing wrong here, doesn't sensor conservatives pull the plug on them but then he is saying, this whistle-blower is alleging anyone can break into twitter's controls, change things around to manipulate, maybe even do censorship. a lot more people are allowed to do that than should be. what do you make of this story? >> it's a huge deal because as this whistle-blower, one of his fame must mottos he likes to make a dent in the universe. this has blown a huge hole in the credibility furthermore of twitter who has been under constant distress because of all the idiotic decisions they have made but this is a scary one because when it comes to cybersecurity, these are accesses to large amounts of the workforce there and as you mentioned in the reporting, there has been a recent conviction of a saudi arabia employee that was using it to spy on behalf of the saudi government. there has been other instances, in india, other places. the

john ratcliff, the former director of national intelligence, is still in talks and dealing with sensitivere negotiations that they have to work through. but they heard from a number of high level cabinet officials and with others, talks are still on going. >> they're clearly trying to piece together how far the discussions into the 25th amendment went, and what it means for a potential trump candidacy in the future. >> and how deep seated these concerns were as people watched these events play out and wondered who can we do. >> thank you so much for that reporting. appreciate it. >>> up next, extremist violence and mass shootings in america. cnn is pressing the new man put in charge to help bring down the numbers. >> what is your message for parents out there who might be concerned about their kids going back to school in this airi of gun violence? >> his answer to that question is next. on it with jardiance for type 2 diabetes. his underhand sky serve? onon fire. his grgrilling game? on point. and his a1c? ron is on it. with the once-daily pill, jardiance. jardiance not only lowers a1c..

john ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence, and harmeet dillon , chairwoman of the republican national lawyers association. john , you just heard thatus conversationt. sa the doj lawyers argued against the affidavit released today by saying, as the court is aware from its revieww of the affidavit, it contains among other critically important and detailed investigativeotnt, highly sensie info about witnesses, including witnesses interviewed by the government and investigative government and investigative required by law to be kept under seal.ve give us your overall sense of whether that would be an accurate characterization of well,ac even the issues that at stake here, even if that's truet and that may be that there are sources in there that they don't want divulged or national security information that they don't want there. but but it's garbage to say that that that information couldn't be redacted so that t the remainder of the affidavit that is so important to establishing probable cause is something that we can see.a, laura , this is unfortunately just like the russia gat

he had john ratcliffe declassify documents he wanted released.d richard grenell doing the same thing. you need other people to start treating that material as declassified. simply having the thought in your head as president and not communicating it to anyone else doesn't get the job done. >> to be clear, look, he has the power to declassify things, just like he has the power to pardon and do other things. but when we as a government put checks on presidents and people in power so that mistakes and abuses like this don't happen. >> andrew, explain this. so now pat cipollone and patrick philbin are involved in this classified documents investigation, as well as the doj investigation of january 6th. so just explain how complicated that is as an investigator, how you keep different investigations separate, when some of the same witnesses and players are involved. >> it's incredibly complicated. so you have entirely different streams of investigative activity likely overseen by different line prosecutors and most likely being actually worked on the g

steps up in july of 2016 and makes a statement as a prosecutor and i'm sure it made you in with john ratcliffe and many others later on sort of say, he said no reasonable prosecutor would make this case implying on the attorney general that it was not strong enough to take it because they were to compromise. this is the meeting on the tarmac this latimer with peter strzok to begin this process based on a clinton directive with a steele dossier to tink president trump with the russian connection. we now know this because documents were released later that this was brief to president obama. we now know this is a tactic being used. what's bad, political campaigns, we run our near-death and never expect the federal government at the highest level to participate. i think that's where this whole thing started. it goes back to 2016. the same people peter strzok, andy macomb, what concerns me the most, it's not the regular federal agent. i talked to so many of the fbi. this was a group at the top. all of the intelligence community that tied the narrative together which led, after president trump was e

what i saw more probably was the likes of acting dna grinnell and then john ratcliffe when you workedfor trump, very different than dan coats a republican for a professional. objective try to protect the intelligent communities objectivity was very much spinning intelligence. want to get it was like iraq wmd all over again. i saw dni making a terrible -- not long before the current government acknowledged that for at the agent levinson was dead, he was gone into fbi unfortunately in a very ill considered mission that analysts have thought of. his effort to beat up on iran at the time was to talk about he's alive, he's in prison. we know it. that was weeks before we acknowledged. he knew he was dead but he was politically self-serving to beat the drums because it served the white house is interest. >> everything you're describing is a trajectory one way. is there a way to put all that back in its box? is a possible? use evidence the director is trying to get? >> i'm actually very heartened by the evidence i see what director burns is doing in terms of personnel choices. from my elimina

already have and we've seen steve mnuchin and eugene scalia, and the former labor secretary and john ratcliffenational intelligence. he's still in discussions about potentially appearing and he dealt with a lot of classified negotiations and they had to reach the negotiations. >> thank you very much, sara murray reporting. >>> right now weer also getting more new information about the january 6th investigation. information just coming into "the situation room" whitney wild has this. >> the secret service was -- it was significant leigh altered and in the end removed references to nearly all of the accusations by dhs inspector general investigators that the secret service was basically stalling their investigation. that information was supposed to go into a final report that would have been presented to lawmakers in june, but the information was not. this memory was obtained by the government oversight and it was shared on cnn and it contained detailed accusations that the secret service delayed giving the ig records and refused to identify the people who were reviewing the records for the ig s

then john ratcliff, the former director of national intelligence., the committee will virtually interview robert o'brien. he was trump's former national security adviser. he considered resigning post january 6th, ultimately did not. and while he is not a cabinet-level official, he is someone who was known to have talked about invoking the 25th amendment. so clearly that topic is of keen interest to the select committee. we also know earlier this week they interviewed mike pompeo, the former secretary of state. and cnn has learned that the 25th amendment was a topic of conversation. so clearly the committee is trying to learn just how serious those conversations were. and just how concerned were these cabinet-level officials. >> yeah. melanie, thank you so much. clearly the committee hard at work for sure. >> reporter: yeah. >>> next, house majority leader steny hoyer will join us live as the house meets to vote on a groundbreaking health and climate bill. only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance, so you onl

see john ratcliffe, great to see tonight. thank you, ben.good to see tucker. >> so the administration was >>o release the search warrant affidavit for their politicized raid on joe biden's mainin pol political opponents house. >> what's in iiticts houset? i. a lot of it's redacted, not alla of it. >>> le pat cipollone parts of our interview with andrew thate. there was a particularly. there is a pe interesting section that we the haven't put on the air yet, butu the importance of self respect really caught our eye. i we're going to play that.s we wb it's short but worth watching. we'll be right back . we found a dead board, not one drop and the scavengers won't eat it and it doesn't rot. and i said, what? over the past 40 years, more than 10,000 animals have been killed in very strange ways. >> the memory glands, the brain was gone. it's caught out like a just the mystery is overwhelmed law enforcement. there's no evidence to point to one thing or another to go replicate that and not leave evidence. i don't think that would be possible. peop

. >> there is open source reporting and john ratcliffe former head of the national intelligence toldan within 18 months remember what we heard from xi jinping last summer anybody who gets involved in both of the wood taiwan will be crushed to dust pounding to dust was the quote how should the administration respond to this now there are reports the biden administration is rethinking whether or not they should remove the tariffs in the wake of beijing's military drills around taiwan. the president was considering scrapping the tariffs to combat inflation but the white house is all options on the table. we know this has been soft on the chinese communist party we know because this president is compromised but he killed the china initiative and ease the tariffs and the origins of covid-19 and pushing fentanyl into this country killing americans how should we be responding in military drills threatening the speaker of the house will she is in taiwan. >> this administration in the last few years of the obama administration learned weakness or providing concession without anything in retur

i just want to point out something that john ratcliffe told me on sunday.have contacted in place with taiwan where we have sold taiwan equipment and there's $14 million worth that is not been delivered to taiwan why is the u.s. slow walking the help and support that taiwan needs. we are on all morning long we will talk with general jack keane when we come back. coming up the ceo of bank of america is coming up, brian moynihan will give us his take on how the consumer and, the recession in the state of the economy in his meeting with president biden. that is coming up at 8:00 a.m. easter this morning. red hot inflation out of control in washington, it could spend its way out of trouble. have the reflation reduction act to spend even more of your tax dollars away. we are back at the border tomorrow. our show is live from mcallen texas area at the us-mexico border where we will get another look at how bad the crisis has become since our last visit. you will not want to miss live from the border as we in on human trafficking and all those drugs flowing in. you

on this program and "sunday morning futures" on fox news there is an open source reporting and john ratcliffelligence has told me that this reporting says china will invade taiwan in the next 18 months taiwan is proposing over $19 billion in new defense spending for the next year end 14% increase year-over-year, the taiwanese president warned earlier a heavy price would be paid for invading taiwan, how do you see this playing out. >> 18 month is coming up really fast i don't think that the chinese can be confident from a military standpoint that soon. i would say three or more years but xi jinping is a risk taker. one never knows when an authoritarian, to tala tehran leader is backed into a corner and what they might do to lash out and distract people from troubles at home. i think that is a minority scenario or possibility of an invasion in 18 months but we had a guy who clearly tried to change or did change the status quo after nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan and let's remember the chinese did not just launch missiles into chinese waters they launch missiles into japanese waters this is a gu

maria: there have been open-source reporting and john ratcliffe came on my show just last week and told tell us that china could invade taiwan within the next 18 months. that would be before the 2024 presidential election, jonathan. you know, what should we be doing at this point in terms of pushing back? the ccp wants to make it clear that it's not sovereign territory, it's part of china. >> sure, what we need to provide need to do isprovide the right . it's an untested chinese military and that's why the ail a snifiigfiecseec ey are s arewingororor a iintinn the f theld in in waysy henonenenefeore k ile ian i io t go g go i t phipphpi a g go g g i t the mil signifinie oenhat'ss eut want w t w w mak w sure that that would be a total failure for china in the same way putin's invasion of ukraine is bad for russia and making sure that allies are on the same page because support real sanctions and all of the response that is you have to do to china in the event of any -- unity within the alliance system is part of what enabled sanctions on russia to succeed and then the other thing is corp

although i think john ratcliffe and others were fairly effective. but, you are right.think that is an important tool necessary but, you know, the fbi's abuses did call into question whether, you know, they could appropriately run it because there is, remember in the fisa court there is no opposing side. kind of like the january 6th committee and we see what a disaster that is right now. >> steve: so the republicans are going to run on this. >> talk about the raid. trump's political team sent out fundraising solicitations about the search late last night. meanwhile, matthew, as you know, it's not the fbi just saying hey, let's all get a bunch of squad cars and go over to mar-a-lago and see what we can find in the safe. they -- the doj, in concert with the fbi, had to present evidence at a probable cause hearing with a judge. and the judge had to look at the stuff. so for it to be at this historic level, i mean, there has never been a raid at the honestly of a former president ever. so the fbi and the doj must have known exactly what they were looking for and you wonder

john ratcliffe was the former dni. he said that amounts to election interference.ence committee, we are going to get to the bottom of who directed the fbi to put this raid on president trump. he wants more information and a he is going to join us this morning. we are of also talking with ron john, he brings to the table a similar story, he said whistleblowers contacted his office to tell him there was a directive inside the fbi not to look at the hunter biden laptop. what is that? they said we don't want to affect an election again. that was the quote from the fbi, don't look at the hunter biden laptop, we don't want to affect an election again. so what did they do? they don't look at it and in fact they affect an election today. mike turner is with us from ohio, ranking member on intel. byron donnels will talk about the policy that is putting america in j jeopardy. we have a poll that shows the majority of americans think they're suffering right now. ron johnson will be here with us. we're 73 days away from the midterms, we'll catch up with jd vance to hear how hi
