we'll discuss all this and more with our guests miranda devine and more. the public health mandates and nancy pelosi stepped off military aircraft in taiwan and became the most seen yore u.s. official to visit the self-declared autonomous island in a quarter century. the house speaker demonstrating caution against the small risk of spreading a virus that might cause flu-like symptoms and making a willfully provocative gesture that risks a serious escalation and tension between two nuclear powers as taiwan as potential ground zero. no one is challenging pelosi's right to visit taiwan, no one except the chinese and once the news of the trip was leaked, there was no way she couldn't go. no u.s. official should ever be seen to vender to chinese communist bullying and international relations in life, there's a difference between having a right and when to exercise that right. it was self-indulgent and seems she's had a yearing to visit taiwan before she probably loses the speakership when her party seems likely gets booted out of house majority in november, it

miranda devine, miranda great to see you we've got to talk about interest bias we've got to talk about what went on with this raid. i want to report what john solomon is reporting he says that memos reveal the biden white house worked ebb directly with the department of justice, in the national archives to investigate criminality and move forward with this raid on trump property, meanwhile, the white house the whole time is saying he we knew nothing about it miranda your thoughts. >> good morning, maria. well, look, i am not surprised i don't think many people are surprised white house has a hand in this, that joe biden knew from the beginning been sending not so scuttle public signals to merrick garland about his, predecessor, donald trump there was a story a few months ago saying that he felt that donald trump was a criminal and should be indicted. so, we see. and you know this, this tussle legally over whether or not to appoint a special master is just indicative of the special treatment let's call it that donald trump gets. you know it is perfectly normal in a case where there is p

joining me now is chris swecker, former fbi assistantnes director , and miranda devine, "new york post" columnist and a fox news contributor. and she's alsoributor the t booo firsshe's alsoributor the t booo . all right, chris , i want tot. come to you first. thi what's your reaction to this fbi agent tebow leaving? should we be celebratingr is tonight or is this just the fbih covering its backside? i would yeah, i would say it's a good start. you know, these political cases are just drainin g a hundred years of goodwill and good workn that the fbi's done over you over that time frame. i spent twenty four year yearssl the fbi. case not once did i see a political case get opened up, the least of which one that had nocation predication, not credible, what we call predication, which likeh is the basis to open the investigation, sounds like this agent had a little bit ofod trouble recognizing factual information versus rumor and innuendo and opposition research and just general factro . mi winger in a position of power.eh i mean, miranda, this is theh in guy who helped launch investigation

miranda devine had this reaction to the news of timothy thibault's resignation. >> miranda: he is one of the cabal of the fbi officers who have been playing these games since the very beginning of donald trump's entry into politics and the crossfire hurricane, russian collusion hoax, that was the fbi and there seem to be unlimited number of agents and analysts there to do their dirty work. >> todd: biden says -- saying quote the team identified limited set of material that contained attorney-client information, completed return of the material ask in the process of following procedure to address potential privilege dispute if any. >> ashley: a former dhs secretary joins us now, jonathan, so many questions. the one we will start with now, how is this okay for fbi agents to go messing in the former president's things? they took his passport, how is this okay and can they get away with all of this? >> that's a good question and you see the thing about the special master request that the former president asked for. that seemed like a reasonable request and there didn't seem to be urgency

miranda devine has the new revelations coming up next. plus, we're checking back in with adam clock at liberty state park for the annual navy sale state swim. him and his floaties are coming up next. will: more records reveal back in 2019 then president biden had a white house meeting with two chinese executives and his 15th meeting with the businessmen tied to his son hunter biden. one of those businessmen e-mailed hunter days later and thanked him for the meeting and offered to repair hunter's $100,000 electric vehicle. he said i heard you say your face car was out of service and could not get service and it would be our honor to get it fixed. i would like to give you a call to see what we could do to help you with your car. it would be our honor to help you. joining us now to react is fox news contributor miranda devine. miranda, just the details, once again. you know, with all these details, we're up to 15 meetings with this one company alone and other connections as well. you would think, miranda, at some point for example the fbi wo

miranda devine says he's one of many agents playing these political games. she will join us in the 10:00 a.m. eastern hour. vice president harris joined the chorus of white house officials just can't seem to answer the question everybody is asking -- who will pay for the $500 billion student loan handout? simple question, no answer yet. president biden by the way will deliver a primetime address to the nation thursday from pennsylvania. it will be about the battle for the soul of the nation. he's used this phrase in the past to describe the fight for democracy in the face of what he labels extreme opponents. this is a week after he labeled mega republicans as semi fascists. so much for the unifier. a relic for a couple of days of down action on the markets, you can see the dow up 111 points in the premarket and s&p up about half a%, same for the nasdaq. can we hold onto it? will see. let's look at the ten year treasury yield above 2% but on the way down ever so slightly but still 3.09%. inflation fears pushing oil prices back down, we saw the price of crude

todd: there is this justification what happened to trump and what has not happened to hunter biden, miranda devine writing in "the new york post," "hunter made his way up the stairs of the presidential jet alongside joe before stopping at the top to turn and face the waiting cameras. a father and son giving the world a lingering view of their brazen smiles before they jetted off for a seven day vacation. we are untouchable, the unspoken message. they may as well have given the middle finger to half of the country." your reaction, robert. >> the real problem, todd, and you think about this for a minute, public trust. our whole system of government really depends on honor. whether you stop at a red light or ask the president of the united states not to be above the law. when we see something like that happening and we know on the record that hunter biden's grand jury was done a month ago, so if there was going to be in a dime, there should be one. we know and we have seen the public data. so, it looks very bad. i have to say, it makes people question whether they can trust the justice departm

miranda devine between the parallel between paul pelosi jr. and hunter biden. >> when we have now had over a year of publicity about hunter biden's laptop and the influence peddling scheme that his family was running, particularly with china, russia and ukraine. to hear that paul pelosi jr. is similar to hunter biden on having a lucrative board with a chinese company, china is doing this because they want influence, top level of our government. they are our adversary and there should be no politician within the family or to do this. nancy pelosi has posed as a china hoax for much of her career. and yet, here she is, her son, would not be getting these jobs without her. he has nothing to recommend here other than he's the son of the third most powerful person in the country. >> carley: turning to the crime crisis, a 70-year-old employee is forced to defend his life after a criminal tried to rob him and bashed him over the head with a hammer. >> griff: joins us live from the laundry mat where it happened. stick with us. trail. oh, man. hey! open

miranda devine joins us now. good evening, thank you for being with us. what have you learned? >> pleasure, will. eyewitnesses and people close to the former president from legal sources. we've pieced together what happened in this raid and it's quite shocking. over 30 fbi agents from the washington field office who arrived unannounced at 9:00 a.m. terms lawyers, who were local lawyers, were not there. they didn't arrive for another hour, so these fbi agents, about three doj attorneys managed to get inside by showing their search warrant, we believe to the secret service agents outside. once inside this property, they had access to everything. to the trump's private quarters, which includes the side bedroom and living rooms and dining rooms and so on, and they also had access to a separate part of the building in which donald trump's office was. plus they went down, we are told, to some basement storage room which had been locked, where these 15 boxes of presidential documents had been held since the general services administration had packed them up after trump's presidency in

i promise you we are doing everything we can to put a stop to that miranda devine is a fox news contributor who joins me now. so, obviously, he is going to get special treatment tomorrow. we know that it's just a matter of how special the treatment will be, miranda. what do you think happened? >> hi, jesse. probably a little less special because you have been shining a spotlight on it and good on you. you have done a fantastic story on the pelosis and that's the way it has to be because they are very powerful people and we cannot have a situation where rich and powerful people get special treatment, get to hide their embarrassments when other americans cannot do that and i'm sure that paul pelosi were not rich and powerful. were not married to nancy pelosi, you would have no problem getting his mugshot and the dash cam footage and the body cam footage and whatever else his photo would be plastered everywhere if he so chose but not with the mosts and it just cannot be that way. we have to have one rule for all. >> jesse: we sure do. and we have noticed something really weird about the junior

miranda devine is a "new york post" columnist and fox news contributor. we are just getting started, miranda, digging down into paul jr. we have just scratched the surface with this guy. this is a weird dude. we just don't know how weird. he seems corrupt. he is under investigation. most of his companies are. how bad does it get? >> look, jesse, the shamelessness of this when we have had now, you know, over a year of publicity about hunter biden's laptop and the influence peddling scheme that his family was running, particularly with china and russia and ukraine. to hear that paul pelosi jr. is similar to hunter biden on, you know, having a lucrative board seated on a chinese company, this -- china is doing this because they want influence very top level of our government. they're our adversary. there should be no politician who allows any family member to do this. and, you know, nancy pelosi has posed as a china hawk for much of her career. and, yet, here she is, her son, would not be getting these jobs without her. he has nothing to recommend him other

devine's book, the laptop from, don't you know that there are evidence of crimes on that laptop, and he took them on and a pretty hard way and whatever happened to that? >> going on three years the fbi has had possession of this laptop, and it is not the personal behavior that is most interesting, it is a chinese business deals and the expectation that jill biden himself will personally profit off of the work that hunter biden is doing at the expense of our fellow americans meeting the chinese embassy, licenses from the communist party that hunter could not get without the help of his father and the access that the vice president provided. sean, this is a crime spree we are witnessing in progress and i think the very reason why the department of homeland security wants to ratchet down on our discourse and our dissent is because they know how vulnerable and compromised the first family is and we are watching a crime and parallel a cover-up that has been run by the national security stage, 14 fbi whistle-blowers have come forward and they have detailed the political bias in the fbi and

miranda devine is a columnist with the "new york post" and she joins us now. miranda, i don't know what exactly was accomplished here by nancy pelosi. hi , will . well, it was a fantastic boon for china because they want to do anything about climate change anyway. a hangand they're not doing anythg about fentanyl and it's just g ifa gift to president ge at a a time when he needsst a distraction from the economic woes that china has and when he's just about to basically crown himself. the new mao and have another extended term, unprecedented. and so it's all good for him.r it allows and gives them an excuse to accelerate their belligerence against taiwan. and for what? for nothing. for for basically nancy pelosi to have a victory at another o photo opportunity because shepp knows that she's going to lose in november and basically the mixed messages that that have come fromra the administration with joe s biden saying that she shouldn't go and then leaks about how she'd been advised not to go and the fact that the geopolitical situation is so precarious i at the

miranda devine calling out hypocrisy in this. >> to hear that paul pelosi jr. is, similar to hunter biden on, you know, having a lucrative board seat on a chinese company. china is doing this because they want influence at the very top level of our government. >> to be clear here, again, you know, her son went with her, she says, her office says in response, well, it was because her husband konta company her as her escort but, you know, again, here we go with the son of a prominent democrat using those -- that tie and that clout to make a little money. >> carley: yeah. >> serving on a board. which by the way is like the easiest thing in the world to serve on a board of a company. >> carley: i just live for the day to serve on a board. that's when you know you've made it. our your parents have made it. cheryl thank you so much. >> you bet. >> carley: are you having trouble paying your bills? how do you feel about president biden and his scandal plagued son hunter living it up in a $20 million mansion for free? >> griff: that's right, the first family is enjoying

miranda devine has covered them extensively. she's a columnist, the new yorks post. she t joins us now to put this into context. miranda, good evening. well, it's pretty incredible. and you can only wondero how this is going to play with the hunter biden. we know that the investigationab in delaware is aboutly to come o fruition is probably a plea deal going to happen? will that happen in the shadow of this, some sort of square up? what we do know is that these documents that were supposed to be taken from the white house were actually picked up by the general services administration and shipped to mara lago. donald trump has kept them locked room there and the fbi had access to him a couple of months ago, were able to come in and go through the and look at whatever they liked. so it is unusual since they have told the new york times someone at the doj has told a new york times that this is just about the presidentiale records act and not anything to do with the january 6th committee. lawyers i've spoken to have said that this really looks like to them like a fishing

miranda devine with me now. do you think this will pass the senate before the august recess in its entirety? do you think they can get it done? >> look, i don't know. i guess there's a lot resting on chuck schumer's shoulders, but look, they should be a truth in legislation act at some point, because the democrats keep on lying. they use these orwelian titles like inflation reduction for legislation that does no such thing, does the opposite. nancy pelosi is a master at this she has, you know, she keeps on talking about how she's passing legislation for the children, or there was one for the people who was about rigging elections. it was just for the democrats. american dream bill, that was not for americans. it was for illegal migrants so the democrats are trying to fool the american people and i think since people are now sort of red -pilled and wide awake because their pocketbooks are hurting, they know that spending a few hundred billion more pumping that into the economy is bad, because it increases inflati

miranda devine came by don't buy facebook's innocence saying we didn't do what twitter did, we didn't ban it, we just suppressed it they were the first and led the way and made it almost impossible to get that out. they didn't totally kill it remember, kayleigh mcenany, the press secretary, remember, she forwarded, she retweeted the "new york post" story. even though she had covid at the time. and they suspended her account. this is how pervasive it was. >> ainsley: mark zuckerberg said it told his crew the employees at facebook quote, you should be on high alert. you don't believe that? >> brian: i believe they were briefed but he says the order in which he was for one thing as np emerges or did you know the spey about the laptop and were the whole story in front of congress and repeatings it again in much more detail to joe rogan. and i think all of this is important in light of this guy tim thibault when it comes out he suppressed that story on hunter biden and links to the future president of the united states up until a month before and then there is massive moves on social media

. >> trace: i want to point this out, marc, from miranda devine. a good step-by-step here. play the sound bite that mark zuckerberg said the f.b.i. told him talking to joe rogan. >> we thought there was a lot of russia propaganda in the 2016 election and we have on notice there is about to be some kind of dump of -- similar to that and be vigilant. >> trace: there was nothing in the "new york post" story, zero, zero about russian disinformation so how does facebook make the link and censor that story? doesn't seem plausible. >> from their perspective they're saying the f.b.i. is telling them this. most americans trust the f.b.i. if the f.b.i. comes to you and says there is russian disinformation, then they are depending on their credibility. the problem is the f.b.i.'s credibility is in tatters. senator grassley also said that this agent in charge of the washington field office, tebow was instrumental in starting the investigation of the trump campaign and allegedly scrubbed and diluted of sources political bias of a memo seeking a full investigation. you have a history her
