the biden white house knew more than they let on. they previously denied it. after lying to americans about gain-of-function research, the origins of covid-19 and masks and vaccines and pretty much everything else. dr. flip-flop fauci is jumping ship and we are going to tell you why fauci's power trip is finally coming to an end. former senior advisor to president trump, jared kushner, a rare interview. he will join us and give us the behind-the-scenes of the trump presidency. first i have a message tonight for the very lazy bernie sanders loving socialist trust fund baby brett in a hoodie that's running as a democrat for the senate in pennsylvania. recently he had a few choice words for yours truly. he is trying to raise money off my name. "it brings me no pleasure to ask but are you familiar with a host of a little show on fox news name sean hannity?" it's actually called "hannity." talking about dr. minute oz and accused us of spreading ds lies. we don't lie on the show. he asked supporters, please chip in at least 25 bucks, 50 books, 100 books because "we

they knew they told us they didn't know anything, but n the biden white house knew . yeah, they knew they were pushing the investigation. they gave them permission to the national archives to send t the original boxes of documentsk donald trump and sent back to the archives to the fbi that launches the criminal investigation. they then give the archivesve the permission. joe biden'ss,s, blessing to waie the president's best legal defense by saying you can't claim executive privilege overe the current president will not allow it to happen c. all that occurs long beforeg a grand jury drops a subpoena on president trump's lawyers in may and june and long before the raid. the biden white househi says tht the ignition point of this investigation poi and it's ironc because if you remember back in 2019 in 2020, it was the biden democrats that were complaining about efforts to start an investigationla. bidenhe now they're caught doing the same thing, trying to push an investigationn ofth their political rival, the opposition leader of the party likelyeiei to face in 2020 four

but the truth of the matter is the biden white house, its general counsel's office, joe biden himself was at the ignition point of this investigation. >> you buy that, miles? >> i don't buy it. the reporting has come out that the biden white house has actually kept a very healthy distance from what documents have actually been found, and they're letting the justice department run the investigation. if there's other evidence to the contrary, you know, i would second-guess that -- i wouldn't second-guess that. one other thing i want to know about these s.a.p.s, these special access programs, for americans who are trying to understand the bureaucratic speak in this, this is what we call code word programs. some of them, i wasn't even allowed to say the code word to other people. they were unacknowledged programs. this is the highest level classification that exists in the federal government. those are not things that a president of the united states as a standing order to declassify when he walks out of the office. >> but even then, classification doesn't matter under some of these statu

on september 29, the school board association writes a letter to the biden white house saying use the patriot act against parents. five days later, the attorney general issues a memorandum that does exactly what the organization asked them to do five days prior. set up a line for reporting on parents who show up at school board meetings to advocate for the well-being of their child. october 20, the fbi sends out a emailed to agents across the country and the mill says use this threat tag designation when you are investigating parents who have been reported on the line the memorandum was set up by the attorney general. october 4 is the memorandum. october 20 is the email to agents. all of that happens in 22 days. when have you seen the federal government move that fast? when it came to going after the political opposition, they moved at lightning speed and we have since learned prior to the initial letter on september 29, the biden white house and justice department were talking to the school board. no we got the excuse to do what we want to do which is to go after our political oppone

we'll speak with john kirby joining us next from the biden white house coming up. it works naturally with the water in your body to unblock your gut. ...free your gut. and your mood will follow. they said it couldn't be done. because the big drug companies have billions of dollars and an army of lobbyists. but aarp has never run from a tough fight. they stood with their 38 million members and said, "enough." enough of the highest prescription drug prices in the world. together, we forced the big drug companies to lower prices and save americans money. we won this fight, but big pharma won't stop. so neither will aarp. >> tech: cracked windshield? don't wait. but big pharma won't stop. go to safelite.com you can schedule service in just a few clicks. it's so easy. and more customers today are relying on their cars advanced safety features, like automatic emergency breaking and lane departure warning. that's why our recalibration service is state of the art. we recalibrate your vehicle's camera, so you can still count on those safety features. all right, we're all fi

i will know that the justice department is not commenting, the biden white house was also unaware that this was being conducted and said they found out with the rest of us did, which is with the former president confirmed, i also want to note trump was not present at mar-a-lago when it happened. he was in the trump tower at new york, he was not in palm beach. clearly, the president is very unhappy about this. he is saying it was billet it clearly motivated as we are willing to learn more about what exactly was behind this. >> all right, kaitlan collins stay with us as we know the former president is not at mar-a-lago when this happened. he was a new york. and before bringing in our nascar as, this happened a couple weeks after after merrick garland made a care to lester holt, no one is above the law not even a former president. not even if he happens to be running for office. joining us now cnn senior law enforcement allison, former fbi deputy director -- he's a cnn legal analyst, former counsel to house democrats in the first impeachment. and we want to start with you. just the basics

have you been in the biden white house much? if so, just in an impressionistic way, what is the difference between how the biden white house feels from the trump white house felt? >> i i haven't spent that much time in the biden white house but i got some more questions about this. i will say i think it's hard, it's just as hard to cover trump as it is to cover biden. people think in a way like covering trump is kind of this easy pickings, there's so many things, details to learn and things to collect but the problem with covering trump was that so much of it wasn't reliable or coming from reliable narrators here. i mentioned my kind of long newspaper career, whether it was any of these county commission meeting for school board meetings or state legislative committee hearings, like never have been anywhere except the trump white house where eight people could go into a meeting and 12 versions of that what happened in that meeting emerged afterwards. to understand what is happening behind the scenes you needed to talk to almost

can you just clarify for everyone what the white house knew and didn't know, the biden white house, about this raid. alice stewart was on last hour saying we need to know what they knew when. t there's a very clear and important answer to that. >> it's an important question and i think it's understandable why people want to know what the white house is aware of. the biden white house is aware of when it comes to the search warrant that was executed. we were told by senior officials that president biden was not aware that this search was going to happen, that this warrant had been granted and was going to be carried out at the former president's primary residence in florida yesterday. we're also told a lot of what house staffers were not aware. that's going to be a question that is posed to the white house today when there is president biden in front of reporters as he's going to be momentarily or when there is a press briefing later on today to clear that up. white house officials found out like the rest of us when trump confirmed it in that statement and as reporters were breaking this a

the biden white house said this librarian she can do whatever she wants, get guys with guns involved. biden's white house had the chance to calm this thing down but, instead, they set fire to trump's executive privilege and triggered a raid on his house. and then lied to us about it. the white house lied and said biden didn't know anything about it. >> he learned about it really like all of us did. i'm sure maybe someone on his team flagged it for him, but he was not aware. what i can tell you definitively and for sure, he was not aware of this. he was -- we were -- nobody in the white house was. we were not given a heads up and we did not know about -- about what happened yesterday. >> jesse: this explains why joe has been hiding from reporters since the raid. he okayed a raid on his rival's house and then went on vacation. the raid doesn't even cut it for from a legal standpoint. but don't take it from me. two highly respected lawyers who work for bush 41 and reagan wrote in the "wall street journal" today that it had no legal basis. quote: the fbi had no legally valid cause for the

the biden white house was also unaware that this was being conducted and say they found out when the rest of us did, which is when the former president confirmed this. i also want to note trump was not present at mar-a-lago when this happened. he is at trump tower in new york. he is not in palm beach where he often does not spend his summers. clearly, though, the former president is unhappy about this and saying he believes it was politically motivated. >> kaitlan collins, stay with us for a second. as you noted, the former president not at mar-a-lago when this happened. he was in new york. a quick reminder before bringing in our next guest. this comes just a couple weeks after attorney general merrick garland made it clear to lester holt that no one is above the law, not even a former president, note even if he happens to be running for office. joining us now, former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. also norm eisen, cnn legal analyst and former counsel to house democrats in the first impeachment. andy, i do want to start with you. just the basics here. for the fbi to get a warrant

so now you start to see the joe biden white house using tom friedman's columns to raise doubts about president zelenskyy who a while ago you weren't even allowed to question or you get accused of being a kremlin agent. now the sainted joe biden white house they don't really trust him and there's a lot of problems with the relationship. clearly something is gone very wrong in this proxy war and they start to see the signs of that now. >> laura: glenn it's great to see you thank you. and speaking of china i want to take you back to some and we covered on the show now almost three months ago. >> over the past few years chinese nationals again is buying up tens of thousands of acres of farmland in the state of oklahoma. while they been doing so in a number of states, oklahoma has become the go-to state for these purchases. given the economic and national security ramifications here congress should get involved. >> laura: one now they are. my next guest tom cotton introduce a bill this week that would band the ccp and anyone associated with the ccp from buying up american land. it's not j

have you been in the biden white house much? if so, just in an impressionistic way, what is the difference between how the biden white house feels and the trump white house felt? . i haven't spent that much time in the biden white house, but i've got some more questions about this and i think that it's-- i think it's hard-- it's just as hard to cover trump as it is to cover biden. people think in a way that it was, by covering trump was easy pickings and there's so much, so many things, you know, to details to learn and to collect. the problem with covering trump so much of it wasn't reliable or coming from reliable narrators here. i mentioned my kind of long newspaper career. whether it was any of these county commission meetings or school board meetings or you know, state legislative committee hearings, never have i been anywhere where-- except the trump white house, eight people go into a meeting and 12 versions of what happened in the meeting emerged afterwards. i mean, to understand what was happening behind the scenes, you

white house actually facilitated the doj probe and the fbi and the doj and the joe biden administration was paving the way for the investigation into documents as "the wall street "t journal" pointed out, federal law gave mr. trump a right of access to them, entirely consistent with that right and therefore lawful regardless siding and in their warrant, and other words, no legal basis for this unprecedented warrant. keep in mind, the top democrats have been treated with gloves when accused of any official misconduct, no rate of hillary clinton's house after she put the country at risk by storing classified materials on not just one but multiple private servers, the own government believes by foreign governments, in july 2016, after listing all the classified material that was mishandled, james comey declared that no prosecutor would ever bring charges against her, hillary clinton, prior to an election, we will remind you, take a look. >> 110 e-mails, 52 e-mail chains, have been determined by the agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received, eight of th

joe biden's white house lawyers looked to him in the spring, and he said "do whatever you want," they revoked the privilege. joe had to know that they were beefing over boxes. they had to know the fbi was involved and they had a national security angle. they had to know what they were looking for. he knows more than he's letting on. "the wall street journal" had an op-ed that came out. two highly respected -- from bush and the reagan administration. they say there is no legal basis for this raid, slam-dunk, the president is on firm, legal ground. that tells me that the republican legal establishment is on trump's side on this. that's significant, because he doesn't always have their back on that. then, bill clinton had these tapes he made in the white house where he was making all these recordings. he stuffed them in his sock drawer and then said "these are personal." well, went to court and an obama judge said that the president has the authority to determine what is personal and presidential. but, trump doesn't have that authority? please. only to do it again? please. we will learn

the biden white house says this should not be a big deal. why? why is the foreign ministry of china says this, it will definitely take all necessary measures to safeguard to integrity in response to the u.s. speaker's visit. they said there will be overnight military exercises. it's the biden white house saying china is making this a big deal. why? >> firstly, speaker pelosi's visit to china is region. the chinese side has affirmed it's strong opposition at various levels through different channels. the speaker's visit is a major visit upgrading the tensions between them. it is a serious violation of the one china principal and the provisions in the three u.s. drone communicates. >> she was -- >> it was a foundation -- >> i don't want to -- >> serious infringement on this government and the integrity. >> sir, let me jump in for one second. that is the position of your government. but she says she is there in honor of the taiwan relationship. i understand how difficult this is, but speaker pelosi says it's very important at this time in the world

what is really interesting to the biden white house is obama people running the biden white house. it makes sense, kayleigh clinic they don't let him talk becausef people obama white house poll they know what they are getting. they obama former president obama said this is like the cable news version, don't underestimate joe biden's ability to mess things up. >> speaking to that and the point you made who is in charge here, there was the issue of gay marriage and issue joe biden upstaged obama and we have a sound bite reflecting that. >> look, i am vice president of the united states of america. the president sets the policy. i am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying m men, women are wearing and heterosexual men are entitled to the same rights and all the civil rights and all the civil liberties. and quite prickly, i don't see much of a distinction beyond that. >> cassie, like president joe even though he wasn't president. >> cassie: i think it is fascinating morgan and an arranged marriage we can know now. and in the words of joe biden himself, obama is thinking

. >> biden white house at ignition point. general counsel office authorized release of documentss to the fbi and gets records through the back door. >> brooke: interference from the white house blocking the former president from utilizing executive privilege. >> one thing that clearly is wrong is the biden white house should not be able to wave the executive privilege of president trump, that would make the executive privilege null, no president could speak to anybody in confidence without knowing that two years from now, three years from now, all will be revealed by the current president. >> brooke: federal judge is ordering the justice department prepare redacted version of the affidavit to raid mar-a-lago and have until thursday at noon to make the submission. >> carley: thank you. let's bring in anna, a mexican american air force veteran running for congress looking to flip a blue district red. big day for you and the former president, he is asking for a special master to review the documents. what do you make of the situ

role in the raid has come to light. >> of the biden white house at the initial point of this investigation. the general office was authorizing the release of documents to the fbi. that starts a criminal probe and the fbi takes a shortcut goes to the guy that has to run against donald trump in 2024 and gets the records through the backdoor. >> of the alleged interference from the white house blocking the former president from utilizing executive privilege. >> it is the one thing that clearly is wrong is that biden white house should not be able to waive the executive privilege of president trump. that would make the executive privilege and old. no president could seek anybody in confidence without knowing that two years from now, three years from now, all of it will be revealed by the current president. >> meanwhile, a federal judges ordering the justice department prepare a redacted version of the affidavit to raid mar-a-lago and they have thursday until noon to make that. >> carley: thanks, brooke robert charles for georgia, good morning to you. former president trump wants a special mast

it's been clear the biden white house is not a fan of this. the department of state has been clear they did not want this visit to happen. it is an interesting moment for speaker pelosi to step out and make this statement. prohibitions, edex. speaker pelosi is likely to cast it as a statement of human rights. liz: that was going to be my next question. what is she hoping to get out of this? there have been protests outside of her office. >> speaker pelosi knows her district, the community, clamoring for more action. there is probably nothing she can do to elevate the issue quite like this. clearly, it was done deliberately with planning and advance notice. the white house claiming they did not know about this specifically. they were trying to discourage this. liz: we will see what happens. let's talk about some other politics. 100 days away from the midterms. the countdown is on. what are you anticipating nationally, how hard will it be for democrats to keep control of the house? >> the house is a long shot or gone. despite some good economic

the biden white house still claiming it was in the dark about the raid despite president biden waving the former president's executive privilege. speak with the president was not briefed. no one at the white house was briefed. we are not briefed on investigation. we did not know about that. we learned about that from your reporting. >> trump responding, joe biden said he knew nothing about the breaking of mar-a-lago or greatest political attack in the history of the u.s. does anybody really believe this? the public now patiently awaiting to see what the unskilled affidavit will reveal about the biden administration's role in the raid and how the justice department justified the search. but meanwhile facing a deadline to refine illegal arguments and the request for a special master to review the evidence gathered in search of mar-a-lago. guys, a judge said the attorneys say what trump is asking for in the motion, ashley, todd appearance but former fbi special agent jonathan t gilliam. great to have you always. will we learn anything useful today in this affidavit that quite frankly wil

>> i have not spent that much time in the biden white house. but i've got more questions about this. i think it w is hard but it's hd to cov as i is to cover biden. but covering trump with easy pickings and there are so many things you tell us to learn things to collect. the problemm with covering trump summary things were not reliable. i mentioned my long newspaper career whether it was commission meetings or schooly board meetings or state legislative committeee hearings. never have i been anywhere except the trumpet white house were eight people could go to a meeting and 12 versions of what happened in that meeting emerge after words.ni to understand what was happenine behind the scenes you needed to talk to almost everybody he wash in the room to have an understanding of what happened because there are so many rivalries trump came up in the tabloid culture you understand the tabloid culture you understand how the trumpet world operated. the same at a different way is true of biden. you need to put in that much work to get sometimes a single

have you been in the biden white house much? if so, just in an impressionistic way when it's the difference. so i haven't spent that much time in the biden white house. i have s more questions about this. i think it's hard to cover trump as it is to cover biden. people think covering trump was easy picking and so many things and details to learn and things to collect. so much w of it was reliable. reliable never have i been anywhere where eight people could go to a meeting and 12 versions of what happened emerge afterwards. to understand what is happening behind the scenes you needed to talk to almost everybody in the room to have a understanding of what h happened. there are so many rivalries. you understand the tabloid culture andou you understand how trump world operated. in a different way you put in thatd much work to get a single source. they put it in a much different day. >> i never quiet understood. ie spent 5 years writing up the trump white house deeply rhythm, you know, a lot of backstabbing. a lot, of division. i ac

it the fact that i was glad to see the biden white house was ticked off at that because that's that should be. there should be no communication regarding the prosecutorial function of doj. i am d encouraged that we're making progress on the level we need policy changes as well. e of the questions here from the viewers don't freak out. i'm just going to your first name. if you don't want me to use your first and last name just put it in there. to start, ellen are you going to get reading e.g. carol, did they decide to continue with us to try to establish legal limits on how the president's responsibilities are or how to lose the case print is that a legal strategy makes sense in these policies royal strategy. >> it's an interesting question when i heard quite a bit. i don't think so, you have a duty as a prosecutor if you're going to pursue a case, say with any wire. to pursue it vigorously and i think it is an ethical for a prosecutor to say honoring this case up so that i can lose it. now it is possible, little bit of a variation on that. america garland and said, let's get a little bit m

i'm disappointing that the joe biden white house to put pressure on the speaker of their own party not to travel to taiwan which is a long-standing tradition as newt gingrich said earlier of american legislators traveling to taiwan because of our relationship with a self-governing island. >> hannity: that is a great point, that's gone on for decades. what about the specific threat to take this plan out of the sky and what that would mean. i agree that i would be a declaration of war. number one and number two what are they so much? are we just can continue to allow them to do that? >> sean you're right it would be a declaration of war but i don't think they would do that i think they're bluffing. to see if they can compel joe biden to back down because so often in the past. china knows that american legislators of both parties of a to taiwan for more than 40 years they are the ones who are trying to change the status quo and understanding. there's the one taken provocative action to see if they can get away with it. if they can get away with it what signal will that send our allies all

. >> and the biden white house faces a critical decision on student loans. >> we know august 31st is a date that many people are waiting to hear something from. we've been talking daily about this, and i can tell you that the american people will hear within the next week or so. >> but up first, a federal judge in plain english delivers a rebuke of donald trump and his legal defenders. the facts are reliable. those words came from judge bruce reinhart in a new court order this morning and it makes clear that the judge views that the affidavit that was used to justify the unprecedented search of mar-a-lago as iron clad. that order also coming as the justice department is now deciding what it wants to keep out of public view, including sensitive information about witnesses and steps into its investigation into former president trump. let's get straight to kat katelyn polantz for more. why did the judge decide to put out this new filing today and what is the significance coming ahead of this all-important deadline on thursday? >> abby, what we're hearing now is a lot of what we heard at

back to the search here the biden white house is kept near total silence on the entire thing at least in public. the chief of staff said this. >> one reason why he was directed elected president is he said he would stay out of meddling like his predecessor did. critically in investigations being conducted by the justice department. that he would not politically interfere with the justice department enforcing our laws. cnn is learning that privately the white house officials are deeply concerned about what exactly he took to his a home and whether it could put the sources and methods of the intelligence community at risk. there's also a lot of worry about the potential of what is in those 11 different sets of documents classified documents have you that could cause tension with our allies. remember the fbi was involved with the french president emmanuel macron and we don't know what was in that report. let's bring in our correspondent evan perez and john dean as well as heavy litman. what a friday night panel to have you all here. let's begin now because there is a lot of concern about

showing that the biden white house, that's right, the biden white house. the one that said they had nothing to do this. they were deeply involved in early instigation of criminal probe against president trump. >> kind of, not quite, i went through it. how trying to work out of sight. but they're crispy like an arms length involvement of the white house. when it comes to the fbi and the decision to look for subpoena here. but if i couldn't see any direct involvement there by biden. what is your take? >> my take, i think gobsmacked is the right word to use here. this does so much more harm to the extent that people are actually watching and listening with an open mind. it has so much more harm to trump. it really shows that department of justice, the national archives, they tried so many times to get these documents. frankly, i think really treated him very softly and carefully. they said -- the idea that it shows involvement by biden administration, when i believe what it actually shows, is the biden ministration saying. we would like to delegate this decis

according to the letter, the biden white house did not make the final decision on executive privilege but, instead, deferred to the national archives on the issue of executive privilege. the acting archivist ultimately turned over the material to the fbi. officials emphasized doj had to reach out to the sitting president for this request for the national archives because it deals with executive privilege. now, the department of justice, bret, important deadline we are following, has until thursday at noon to file under seal any proposed redactions to that affidavit, that probable cause to see what potential crimes may have been committed here. so we are looking to see if a judge decides to release that affidavit, hopefully we will know something by thursday. bret. >> bret: okay, david spunt at the justice department. we will follow it all. david, thank you. up next, we talk live with the longest serving member of the senate, senator patrick leahy, about the state of the country, his legacy and his new memoir. first, here is what some of our fox affiliates are covering tonight. fox 17

the white house has said that president biden has not been briefed on the probe, and they don't know exactly what materials were seized during that search. but they still are -- even as they're not saying anything publicly, privately they are voicing deep concern about those classified documents. >> all right, arlette saenz, thank you very much. i'm joined by two former staffers from the trump administration, high level staffers, former white house possess secretary stephanie grisham. she's the author of i'll take your questions now, what i saw at the trump white house, and olivia troy, former adviser to vice president mike pence. olivia, you were in the national security realm working with the vice president at the time, and we don't know what's in those top secret documents from mar-a-lago, and we also don't know, we don't have an answer to the question why trump took them to mar-a-lago. we still don't have an answer to that question, despite everything he said since that search took place. what do you make of people expressing these private concerns inside the biden white house ab

, and this is one of the issues, and it's because the biden white house won't actually do the federal government's job. >> greg: i think jesse we need to take a victory lap on this one because if this is where the idea came from, remember when we were talking about non-border privilege and that we needed to somehow get the consequences to that border. we said that last summer. >> jesse: we are always right. >> greg: we are always right. [laughter] >> jesse: i didn't realize how brilliant a move this was until a couple days ago. i'm a little slow. >> greg: we know. >> jesse: but what he's done is not just that he sent them here to a city, he sent it to where cameras are. because the democrats are always saying, we want to bring these illegals out of the shadows, so abbott goes, okay, they're out of the shadows right in front of the cameras. all the cameras are here in manhattan, all the cameras are here in washington, dc. they're not down in texas because the networks don't send cameras down there. so it's like hear no evil, see no evil. oh, you have record breaking illegals coming in,

so that's the real challenge for the biden white house. can they transform -- translate these victories, as you pointed, into something more sustainable heading into the fall? into somethin and the democrats really use a president with strong numbers -- history shows that a president as low as president biden's, as quite as low as he is, their party that's particularly badly in these midterm elections. so, he needs to get his numbers up in order to help his party lift all boats, if you will, in the house elections [inaudible] -- little better from democrats right now. the white house and the democrats in particular are focused on seeing if they can lift the president up a little bit. he's got an argument to make about. the question is whether he can get out there and make. it one of the challenges with that is that he still has covid. he can't get out on the trail that he -- he's two weeks later than he would like to be out, there campaigning. -- make the case, out there, in speeches and all that. we will see this weekend if he gets a nega

you now cover the biden white house. there is a lot of political dust-up about this including the former president's son eric trump who joe biden, said he knew nothing about this and eric trump said of course he did. >> joe biden absolutely signed of on this. you know what the problem is the democrats? they dig so deep and find themselves. you watch what ends up coming out! >> this is where we find ourselves and this is a moment where it would be nice if everybody could be calm and patient. yes, a high credibility bar on mayoric garland and doj and must get to the point in their investigation they can share that but not when you listen to that, joe biden did it. >> this is executing a search warrant and questions need to be answered. the white house for its part are saying that the president knew nothing about this that the white house did not get any kind of heads-up. i tried asking the president just last hour at the white house, you know, how he can reassure americans that this is not politically motivated. the presid

that is what the biden white house wants. oil and gas supports jobs and tax revenues needed to fund. that money goes to fund schools, roads, parks, libraries, public health t supports tens of millions of jobs nationwide. what will happen when we go all aelectric? >> think about not only all the jobs but i add another one for you. we have auto loans, $1.4 trillion. who is going to absorb the losses for that? who will absorb the losses of equity for everybody who made an investments in their cars? and then on top of that the cost to replace batteries, right now the cost after chevy volt is $3400 to, $34,000. this is just, dollars, upon dollars, upon dollars. this is not a realistic situation. unfortunately the people who are pushing it have no idea about anything financial or economic. elizabeth: the white house climate czar, he continues to work in secret with green energy groups. we don't know who is on his payroll. they prefer not to disclose and, they're redacting identities of all of that. we don't know who he is all talki

white house and justice department were talking to the school board. no we got the excuse to do what we want to do which is to go after our political opponents. those not supposed to happen in our government could we have had over a dozen whistleblowers come to our office and understand, we are in the minority. there is not a lot we can do. >> but they feel desperate. >> they are good agents doing the lords work and they are sick of the nature of the justice department. we can do the subpoenas and get further information to make sure the country gets to the truth. >> the one thing republicans believe in is not spending a lot of money on bureaucracy but when i think when it comes to your committee in new meijer already, -- new majority, you have really got to staff up and i think one of your first challenges is to convince the fellow member of your majority this committee is going to need a lot of resources. you have all the subcommittees but i don't know how you're going to choose between found she and vaccines, big tech censorship, not following votin

if you read it carefully you will see that the biden white house was giving -- essentially deferring to the archives toage this situation. >> yeah, telling the archives basically this is on you to handle. >> right. >> kaitlan, this comes as the president's strategy is starting to take shape after two weeks. his legal team is demanding a so-called special master, that is a third party, can oversee this case. what more is this lawsuit asking for? >> well, bianna, this is an attempt by the truly legal team to pump the brakes on the justice department investigation and everything that they had collected out of mar-a-lago in that search two weeks ago. they really want to slow things down. one way to do that is to go to court and ask for something like this. in this situation they are asking for the appointment of a special master by the court. on top of that they're asking for a pause as investigators would be reviewing the evidence. they want the pause to take place while the special master comes. they also want more information out of the justice department, that's another request here.

the biden white house has kept near total silence on the entire thing, at least in public. ron klain telling don this. >> one reason why joe biden got elected president is he promised he would stay out of meddling like his predecessor did, in investigations being conducted by the justice department. that he would not politically interfere in the justice department enforcing our laws. >> cnn is learning that privately, white house officials are concerned about exactly what trump took to mar-a-lago and whether it could potentially put the sources and methods of our intelligence community at risk. there's worry about the potential that some of what's in those documents, classified documents, may cause tension with our allies. remember, the fbi had material about emanuel macron. what's in it we don't know. i want to bring in cnn senior correspondent evan perez, former nixon white house counsel john dean and former u.s. attorney harry littman. look, there's a lot of concern about these highly classified documents. they weren't found at the national archives. they were found at m

on her phone. >> we have to leave it there, coming up next radio silence from the joe biden white house on how they're going to pay for this huge, and those words come from steve ratner. this is so much bigger than anybody realizes in terms of how much student debt giveaways unit costs and he worked in the obama joe biden demonstration we come back. th♪ ♪ announcer: type 2 diabetes? discover the power of 3 in the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. announcer: ozempic® provides powerful a1c reduction. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. and you may lose weight. adults lost up to 14 pounds. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic®

white house, just like it was for the obama/biden white house. >> the timing is interesting 2010 and 2014 obamacare hurt the democrats. 2018 it was huge because it enacted and got into the good stream of the health care system. americans are like i like this. republicans are rushing into the void, a twitter ad put out yesterday saying joe biden's breaking a promise here. >> president biden breaking his promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. >> senate democrats look to fast track a bill that multiple now non-partisan experts say would raise taxes on nearly all americans. >> give you my word as a biden, no one making less than $400,000 a year will see a penny of their taxes raised. >> republicans trying to say the president's breaking his signature promise. the white house says is he not. this is from an proeshted press fact check. nothing in the bill raises taxes on people earning less than $400,000, no individual tax rate increases for anyone in the bill. it's possible the bill's new corporate taxes including the minimum tax of 15% for large corporations could cause indirect

if you were still working in the white house, you're in what is now the biden white house, how worried would you be about the documents that former president trump had at this point given what we know about them? >> well, i'd be incredibly concerned. it's a guessing game right now to figure out what exactly was in these documents, and who saw them, and where they ended up or where they copied or where they get into others or foreign adversaries, considering the amount of foreigners that go on to that property, and so i'd just be concerned about what was there, what is known, and whether any of our defense capabilities, weapons systems or intelligence officers on the ground, whether any of this information at risk. they're right to be concerned, and i think that, you know, i could see across the national security community, anybody who holds a clearance, or really cares about our homeland security and national security as a whole, would be concerned about this. >> so ryan, it's one thing if, as olivia is saying, they would be completely justified in these concerns. it's another to sort

white house. arizona no longer requiring teachers to have a bachelor's degree, might be fine. in florida is offering ten women temporary teaching credentials to veterans. not on board with those particular ideas. >> i do not support lowering any standards for qualifications of teachers. we need to be creative in how we get the teachers in. for example, student teaching is four months of teaching without pay. i think we should use the american rescue plan dollars to get student teachers and give them a salary. >> dana: besides throwing money at the issue, blame and the staffing crisis on teachers not being respected. >> let's think back the last couple of years, our educators have bent over backwards. we went from totally in-person learning to remote learning overnight. yet the pandemic really pushed many of these educators out of the profession because in many cases you know, educators were not being respected when schools had to close. >> dana: this problem is so widespread, and some of the schoo

, by the biden white house going, look, you archives, you guys make the decision. they're almost like reluctant to allow the fbi review which clearly needs to happen because of the classified nature of stuff. >> and this is happening at the same time that the trump team has put forward this 27-page legal filing two weeks after the search of mar-a-lago to retrieve those documents. in that legal filing they are making a lot of claims, some of them very political in nature, but one has to do with the idea of privilege. they write that merely, quote, adequate safeguards are not acceptable when the matter at hand involves not only the constitutional rights of president trump but the preservation of executive privilege. they're saying that to argue for a special master to review these documents. but, elliott, i want to get to you on this because this letter that evan was just discussing also talked about the privilege claim. it says, the assistant -- the attorney general has advised the archivist that there's no precedent for the assertion of executive privilege by a for

there were continuing conversations between the trump team, the archives and the biden white house over trump's executive privilege claims. according to the letter the biden white house did not make the decision on executive privilege but deferred to the national archives on this issue of executive privilege. archivist turned over the material to the f.b.i. and decided not to grant executive privilege or recognize it for the former president. officials emphasize d.o.j. run by attorney general merrick garland had to reach out to the sitting president in this case for the request to the national archives because it deals with the complicated issue of executive privilege. that's how it is done by the book. a pressing deadline for the government. tomorrow by noon dana and bill federal prosecutors must offer proposed redactions to the affidavit in this case. the judge is inclined to release portions to the public but may hold off depending on the arguments from federal prosecutors. >> dana: we'll pay attention to that. thank you for taking us through it. >> bill: the f.b.i. looking at this i

white house -- that's right, joe biden's white house, the one that said they had nothing to do with this -- they were deeply involved in the early instigation of the criminal probe including clearing the way for the president, president trump's claim of executive privilege to be eviscerated, basically getting rid of his executive privilege before he could contest it. this is important stuff. this is a letter that the national archives sent to president trump's lawyers on may 10th. >> so john solomon made the letter from acting archivist deborah wohl public, and when he did, the first question many asked is why. maggie haberman tweeted, quote, confusing to assess how this helps trump. she later elaborated, quote, biggest takeaway is trump team has firmed the president had high-level, sensitive, and restricted material at his home for many months before allowing archives access to it. now, the letter dated may 10th, which the national archive subsequently confirmed by releasing, also did apply to mr. solomon a contention about president biden's role in determining whether executive pr

joe biden and his allies in the white house of course will sign off on it. of course come again this new revelation indicates, of course, he was involved, of course, a new and again, you can't lie to the american people. you can, but we will find out, right? >> carley: you can find out. the national archives discovered apparently more than 700 pages of classified documents at trump's home in january and this is seen as possible justification for going into trump's home and reading it. is it? >> well, donald trump said i declassified these when i went with me and so no, but by the way you came to my home in june. you took 700 documents, okay and if you thought there were more there why didn't you come back down and take the rest of the documents? that you thought i had that were classified? the process, why wouldn't it work in august? i think this was a predicate to go search his whole house. when you look at the breadth of what we discussed earlier, you can search everywhere for basically anything. in trump's home. so, the way they did this tells me they wer

the biden white house was already talking to the school board. that is not supposed happen in our government. unfortunately it is. we have had over a dozen whistleblowers come to our office, fbi agent come to our offices with -- whistleblowers. we are in the minority. there is not a whole lobby can do other than tell their story. >> but, they feel desperate. >> they are good rank-and-file agents doing the lords work and they are sick of the political nature of the justice department. they're coming to us so they can tell their story if you get the majority coming to the subpoena and make sure the country gets a truth and stop it. >> one thing republicans believe is cutting staff not spending a lot of money on bureaucracy, i think when it comes to your committee and a new majority really have to have these killer lawyers. you really have to step up. one of the your first challenges is to convince the fellow members of york majority is that this committee will need a lot of resources. you have a lot of subcommittees, i do not know if you have -- ho

representatives are holding these sessions across the nation in advance of president biden's white house conference on hunger and nutrition last month. policy brought with her massachusetts representative jim mcgovern, who leads the hunger center. >> we believe that through white house, congress, we can convene all the agencies and use the power of the white house to bring the federal government, nonprofits, faith leaders, food banks, the private sector, academia -- and let's get everyone at the table. >> reporter: it will be the first such conference in 50 years. they said the goal is not to manage hunger, but to and it. >>> a public acknowledgment of sacrifice. representative jackie speier, who you see there, let the event as a way to express gratitude and appreciation for the past two years of impossibly hard work.also handing out roses were elected officials and some first ponders. >>> with no resolution, striking kaiser mental health workers are still on the picket lines, now into the second week . workers have been picketing from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. across northern and centra

white house. and of course, the big driver of those setbacks are driven by an apparent inabilityre to inspire confidence at the podium. here's yet another example from earlier today. take a look at climate changeas has become a climate b crisis and the threat hasas now become a reality. ha and in that way we can move clean energy from where it is created to where it is needed. or it is literally about the transportation of energy. so think from a wind farm in iowa to a suburb in chicago or from a solar farm in nevada to a family farm in missouri. how exciting is that? how exciting is that? why do i always feel likel whenever he's given a speech like i'm going back to kindergarten or first grade tfirs, it's nuts. anyway,, of course, that pales in comparison to her bizarre history of the giggling vice president in case you've forgotten, here's a small reminder the not today more parents are seeing the value of educators at i'd say we're not paying them nearly enough of american youcan. t you're cons

. >> so when the fbi raided mar-a-lago, it was a coordinated head of the joe biden white house. oh, no, we had no contact of the doj. we have a major development, plus, what the joe biden administration just sent ukraine? a lot more money for ukraine. we have more right after the break. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> so when the fbi raided the home of donald trump, it was pretty obvious that this was the joe biden administration ordering it. oh, no, separation of agency, well, they did coordinated with the doj. and then they want to stop him, this is what they have been doing. you have a political opponent? just imprison him. now prove is accumulating that that's what happened, a news letter a was published about it. saying that i decided not to honor the protective claim of privilege, saying in light of the particular circumstances, joe biden defers to my determination for the office of legal counsel, whether or not i should uphold the purported protected assertion. then she continued, accordingly the archives will provide them access as requested, beginning as early as thursday, may 1
