welcomes john ratcliffe. it was a big week, something unusual in the words of the federal judge take place, the plea deal fell apart and we're in a position where it looks like the department of justice colluded with hunter biden attorneys to get him this deal and the judge simply read through it and found things she thought were unconstitutional or hidden in the wrong places. why is that? >> john: a lot of us thought the judge would reject the plea, the judges look at conduct, this was unprecedented. at the hearing, we learned the biggest takeaway, joe biden's doj lawyers were hunter biden's defense team. in a proceeding supposed to be adversaryial, all lawyers on one side and all the lawyers worked to hide from the judge an immunity agreement within the pre-trial diversion agreement and the judge caught them and that really is what -- where this thing fell apart pretty quickly. >> in terms of hunter biden now, the justice department hid immunity, trying to make it so he couldn't be prosecute said in the fut

but john ratcliffe is correct. the incriminating evidence was compelling here. the homeland security, fbi, the state department. they were colluding with platforms to for bid dissent. the judge didn't buy it for one minute that their only intent was combatting disinformation in the name of national security. well, that is the government's routine excuse -- >> trace: hold on a second, greg. i'm going to jump back in to the white house. >> is there any immediate day-to-day impact on the administration's activities here at the white house? >> we've been very consistent. we are going to continue to promote responsible actions to protect public health, safety and security when confronted by challenges like a deadly pandemic and foreign attackses on our election. we'll continue to promote that in a responsible way. our view remains that social media platforms have a critical responsibility to take action or to take account of the effects of their platforms or having to the american people. but make independent choices about the information that they present. they're p

it is incredible to me when you think about 51 intelligence officials at that time, john ratcliffe was sitting director of national intelligence he was the dni for trump's administration. he came on this program right before election, he said very clearly, as dni the lead intelligence official a sitting lead intelligence he said laptop is not russian disinformation he told us. clearly, on this program and, yet, the letter from 51 did not quote john ratcliffe, liz donned you find that incredible 51 intelligence officials saying yeah, this is russian disinformation you have a sitting dni person who with sees more intelligence than anybody other than sitting president telling us straightaway this is not russian disinformation, yet nobody in immediate reported it and he was on this program live saying it. liz: i am not surprised that letter was actually orchestrated by none -- than blinken a setup to kronlt embarrassing facts you that continues i think where we are now liberal immediate tip-toeinging into the facts that hunter biden, was in bed with last chinese and other disreputable comp

former national intelligence director john ratcliffe. good to have you, director.you predicted this would happen. the question is, when they bring the briefs back, will this judge accept this? >> john: i think the answer will still be no. the reason i said a month ago, this was announced, the judge is to look at videotapes of user in possession of a firearm and whistleblower testimony in public view about payments to or from china and ukraine and other countries to hunter biden and potentially fara violations and what you saw play out was the judge asked about those things. she asked, is there precedence in a gun case and answer is no and in fact, right on crime looked at this, this is not just a sweetheart deal, this is unicorn case and 4000 cases involving users in possession, the only one offered pretrial diversion and hunter biden. she asked about payments and whether or not potential future charges and that is where it unravelled. i think now at the end of the day, hunter's problems will continue from a legal standpoint and the legal consequences can't be unde

this is what john ratcliffe told us on that very day.is not part of some russian disinformation campaign. the intelligence community has not been involved with hunter biden's laptop. hunter biden had is a u.s. person. he would be subject to any investigation regarding fraud or corruption, would be rightfully the jurisdiction of the fbi. so the fbi has had possession of this. maria: can you imagine? he said this on this day, later that day they come out -- they completely ignore the sitting director of intelligence and they go with john brennan and james clapper and leon panetta and the rest. >> yeah. and adam schiff was fanning out everywhere saying it was a kremlin plot and those were the lines that joe biden used a few days later in the final debate against donald trump to basically -- it was a get out of jail free card for joe biden because this was -- our reporting on the laptop was a serious crisis within his campaign. he went to ground. he wouldn't answer any questions. they were lying to everybody. they were ignoring us. and the r

he spoke to john ratcliffe earlier in the show, pete, and here's what he had to say. >> as i reviewedhe thing that really stuck out to me were three words on this fd23, and those three words are the big with guy. the irs has criminal investigators, but they work with the fbi. and we've heard lots of testimony about the fact that they should be working hand this glove with regard to this. but in this case, you had these documents that were the, again, under oath, both whistleblowers have said -- remember, gary shapley testified that in september of 2020 he asked to see the laptop and was refused. and, of course, they both said that they hadn't seen the fd1023. and then what's more troubling, pete, is it goes so far as the fbi director later, to congress, denied the existence that there even was an fd1023. rachel: so many, so many lies. pete: so many. and, joey, to your point what john ratcliffe also pointed out, the big guy is found in this 1023, that's also the language used on the laptop and the e-mail -- >> 10% put big guy. pete: if you see the big guy popping up different places, n

joining me is john ratcliffe, former director of intel. john, the delaware prosecutors ignoring what seems to be critical information provided to them in these fbi documents and corroborating details and travel schedules, what do you make of this? >> john: folks in delaware and the doj should hope that reporting is not true. if it is, laura, there is no excuse. start with the fact the 1023 came from what was described as highly credible fbi source to begin with and then corroboration between the 1023 and hunter biden laptop. both separate transactions involving ukraine and china, both describing joe biden as the big guy with regard to payments on that. when you start with that, but then if highly credible source is partially verified or corroborated with the details they have provided, there is no excuse for why that investigation shouldn't have picked up speed instead of slowing down and what we know is that from sworn testimony of the whistleblowers, this information was never shared with the lead criminal investigators in the case. they

joining me now john ratcliffe former congressman, former trump director of national intel delaware prosecutorsgnoring what seems to be critical information provided in fbi documents and corroborating details and travel schedules. what do you make of this? >> well, all those fo folks in delawares in the fbi and department of justice should hope that that report something not true, because, if it is, laura, there is literally next could you say. look, we start with the fact that that fd-1023 came from what was described as a highly credible fbi source to begin with. then there was corroboration between the fd 1023 and hunter biden's laptop. both of them, separate transactions, talking about separate transactions involving ukraine and china both describing joe biden as the big guy with regard to payments on that. so, when you start with that, but then if a highly credible source then is partially verified or corroborated with the details that they have provided, there's no excuse for why that investigation shouldn't have picked up speed instead of slowing down. and what we know is that from sworn

john ratcliffe says the american people are not still now getting the full truth.isten. >> if you became a special attorney or had special counsel powers, there would be an order that supported that. so if there is in this case, where is it? why don't you just produce it? the fact that he hasn't done that and the attorney general hasn't done that. instead they have offered cryptic statements inconsistent with everyone within the department of justice and f.b.i. knowing to be the facts. these are questions that the american people want answers to and unfortunately our department of justice and f.b.i. aren't giving clearances on that. >> gillian: something that gets lost in this conversation that we've been having for months now is that the american people are interested in this and want information not because they are so concerned with hunter biden's salacious past and all his prob legals. they are interested because they want to understand if there is or is not any link to the president. people are interested here in investigating whether the president of the unit

. >> rich: former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe criticizing the deal hunter bidengot for not going to jail for gun and tax charges. >> everyone knows what the whistleblowers are saying is absolutely accurate in terms of how this is supposed to proceed and yet we end up with this circumstance where the president's son has ended up with a deal that perhaps nobody else in the history of the department of justice has received when it comes to the type of conduct associated with tax crimes and gun crimes. >> rich: chris bedford the executive editor of the common sense society. thank you for joining us this morning. want to get into this. "wall street journal" editorial board say republicans asked david weiss to answer questions about his hunter biden investigation and the list of queries is growing. did the prosecutor bother to go beyond hunter's tax issues to look into wider allegations of corruption. the recent testimony from two i.r.s. whistleblowers suggest the answer is no. chris, where do we go from here? >> i think the scandal that's uncovered is the scandal with

another story, john ratcliffe on last hour talking about the ruling from a judge on the fourth of july suggesting that big tech was cooperating with whatever request the administration had to take something down on twitter or facebook, etc. call for number four the missouri a.g. helped bring the case. the court has granted our motion to block top officials in the federal government from violating the first amendment rights of millions of americans. what a way to celebrate independence day. the judge made his ruling. we'll see whether or not there is an appeal or if it sticks over time. what's clear big tech was listening to the requests that came out of washington, d.c. how do you see it? >> that's what the judge put his finger on is why were these companies cooperating? it is because government holds all the power. that's what is so concerning and why this ruling is really great to see because we've had the government both directly threatening these companies whether it's jen psaki or the president himself when the president said these people are killing people because of their pandem

. >> that's former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe on what many are calling the sweetrt plea deal given to hunter biden. calls are growing for the judge in the case to reject it. the u.s. attorney for delaware in charge of the hunter biden investigation is breaking his silence denying claims that his probe was influenced by politics. and thes attorney for the president's eldest son is blasting the house republicans investigation accusing them of trying to undermine the law. let's bring in saulwiseenburg fox news about contributor former deputy independent council thanks saul for joining us on this holiday weekend. so david wise -- >> happy to be here. >> who conducted investigation says everything is above board no politics involved. do you buy that? >> well, the question isn't necessarily whether politics is involved the big question is whether or not the investigation was tainted be it by politics -- or cowardess or whatever it is you name it and key in helping determine what is what wise is saying is totally inking the with what he told a room full of federal agents

john ratcliffe says he sees a cultural problem at the d.o.j. underlying all of this. listen. >> the reason the whistleblower and house republicans are saying absolutely adds up and everything you are hearing from the department of justice and f.b.i. doesn't. it is frankly inconsistent with f.b.i. and d.o.j. practices. it is no longer a question of whether or not there is corruption, but who is involved in the corruption? not a question whether or not there has been a fair and impartial administration of justice but who is involved in obstructing that justice? >> gillian: "wall street journal" op-ed argues the attorney general has an obligation to prove the hunter biden probe was not tainted by politics. do you agree with that and think he has a special obligation in this instance? >> i do. i have a lot of respect for director ratcliffe. i have think he speaks the truth. he has been in those chairs. he is a u.s. attorney in addition to being dni and a member of congress. i have think president biden is thumbing his nose at the american people by taking hunter biden alo

. >> rachel: former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe was on fox yesterday and he sayshe problem is that ultimately there's a culture problem at the doj. listen. >> the two easiest case to prosecute in washington, dc are the gun and tax crimes against hunter biden, which have resulted in no felony recommendations. it underscores the disparity that we're seeing and it's really why, you know, i think the next president is really going to have to do more than just replace the attorney general and the fbi director but really turn these entities inside out and address the cultural problem that has existed ever since eric holder said that he was barack obama's wing man and began to embed partisan throughout the fbi and the department of justice. to identify this as a small problem is a mistake. it's a cultural problem, not a 1-off issue. we're seeing it over and over again where there's a disparity of treatment within the department of justice. >> rachel: yeah. i have a podcast with my husband, from the kitchen table, where we discuss the number one problem facing the country

the biden administration is expected to appeal the injunction but intelligence director john ratcliffenk such an appeal would not hold much wait. >> i think that language reflects that this was a stunning rebuke, but also an appropriate one. and i will tell you that my take is that this is going to hold up on appeal. because everything that the plaintiffs in this case a ledge has been proven largely to be true. american's ability to engage in honest debate about it was suppressed. so you have these agencies with social media working to suppress the truth and amplify lies. >> tammy: i spoke with -- >> kayleigh: i spoke with a digital official from the white house and asked if this was ever done and i was told that never had the trump white house asked to take down a tweet that they disagreed with. you can say take down an impersonation account that violates twitter policies, but not take down something because of a viewpoint to disagreement and what was so galling was the coercion element to it. we put some of it up for our viewers to look at. these are from by then officials, two socia
