, hunter biden's uncle jim and joe biden. maria: this is just stunning and clearly has put america in a dangerous position. we know that the ccp wants to overtake the united states as the number one superpower. can you give us assurances that you're going to get to the bottom of this? we know that they are already stonewalling. they sent a letter to you and your colleague, jim jordan, saying this is an active investigation, we're not going to answer any of your questions. how will you get to the bottom of it? >> well, fortunately for me with the influence-peddling investigation, we have a lot of people that worked with hunter biden that we've been meeting with for many months now. i don't think that's any secret. and, you know, there are a lot of terms that these people say the bidens use like plausible deniability. that's a term that uncle jim biden uses a lot. and then when you see that there are documents, classified documents just casually left around in different locations, it's very concerning. i mean, you see the compl

let's see if they apply in to biden. take a look. >> if the trump people represented that they provided all of the classified or national security information and didn't, that's a serious problem. >> no one is above the law. the rule of law in a democracy has to be our standard. >> no person is above the law. not only the president of the united states. not even a former president of the united states. >> the intelligence community needs to do risk and damage assessment how donald trump's reckless of handling of these documents might harm our national security. >> there was not a mistake these documents landed in mar-a-lago. this is what he intended. they really want to get these documents back. every second they are at this beach house in the possession of donald trump is a risk to our national security. >> tucker: hillary in a moment. we can expect the same rhetoric about joe biden? will his private home face an early morning raid or get the hillary clinton treatment? a free pass. mishandling classified information. hi

for biden there's only a couple documents. biden is cooperating. trump didn't. that's why mar-a-lago was raided but republicans are pretty confident they will chalk it up to semantics and for everyday voters that they're not going to see the difference. it's just going to look bad. >> it's been pointed out there's this ad from the 2020 campaign, ctes of it of biden backing oll his corvette into his garage, donna so take a look. backing it in. now, we see boxes back there. now, i don't know if they had any of thet i t se corvette he has now, probably. but i meaning it doesn't look good. >> well, first of all, you got to separate the noise from all of the, quote, unquote, possible spin that's coming from this. i took time to read about this and i know, chris, you keep telling me to find some better things to do on the weekend. >> yeah, i do. >> but think about it. seven days after the discovery of these documents by one of the president's personal attorneys, they reported it the day after. within seven days, the justice department had assigned someone to look into

biden family. look, you said it great in your monologue. this family's been involved in influence peddling for a decade. they ephor received millions of dollars from anonymous sources in china. that's very concerning. we know that for a fact. now the question is, how much of that trickled down to joe biden? that's a major part of our investigation. once we get these bank records and bank documents, we'll start holding our public hearings. i think the american people will learn a lot about what influence peddling is and how much involved joe biden was with the family influence peddling schemes. >> sean: congressman you sent a letter to fbi director wray urging the fbi to investigate hunter's relationship with a suspected chinese spy. jackie bao. what can you tell us about this person of interest? >> we're looking into her. i have reached out to people on the intelligence committee that have a little higher security clearance. this is something that should be very concerning. this has a lot of simila

and adds about the bidens. from are foreign transfers, gifts and other matters that could prove criminal. it gets even worse for hunter. he is fighting to prevent his daughter with her ex-lover from using his last name. hunter's legal team is trying to stop the request to let the 4-year-old sake the biden name. here is the wisconsin senator ron johnson. thanks for being here. he had the gall to come out and say i have yet to see any evidence. has he looked? why won't he take seriously those who have and realize the connection between hunter and joe is not just a connection between 2 private citizens but a private citizen and the president? ? >> well, pete fyou don't look for evidence you will never find it. buck made a good point in the previous segment -- counters who helped install president biden into his office. they call him a moderate. they censored my report on the hunter biden laptop story. they don't want to defending his record. inflation and on the other hand and rising crime. i am suspicious about t

for biden, it's the same thing. and arguably, it's worse for biden because, as you say, he could declassify whatever else we know is true. we know that he didn't have the power on his own as vp to declassify these documents. so listen, the democrats say they're all for equity. well, what's equitable here is that there be a special counsel. >> all right. let's talk about the other issues in the house, investigations that will be moving forward. we have jim jordan, judiciary. he'll be looking into the irs. i'm sorry, to the doj and the fbi, james comey, are looking into the biden family syndicate. these are all stories you have followed. anthony fauci, the origins of covid, the botched withdrawal out of afghanistan. how important are these investigations? because the media mob democrats, they want to dismiss them before they ever get started. yeah, they're hugely significant because real oversight is what this administration hasn't gotten is what congress has not done. and certainly the democrats in the senate are goi

here we find biden was using it quid pro quo. you need to get rid of this prosecutor who is investigating my son for corruption or you might not get anymore american tax dollars. that is bad. we believe the same thing may be happening in china. we don't know for sure, but we are investigating. this administration is blocking us at every turn. >> this is from the daily mail report that shows a copy of a june 7, 2015 e-mail to hunter written by kathy chung and then vice president joe biden's executive assistant. the e-mail reveals joe biden's personal phone number, three private e-mail addresses as well as the names of the secret service agents. it includes cell phone numbers of president clinton, hillary clinton, barack obama, almost every member of former barack obama's cabin in. many senators. when i look at the national archives basic laws and authorities in section 4 .1 general restrictions on access, that would seem like it's secret information that hunter biden had no right to see. but yet it was in the e-mail. is that a vio

there was no subsequent rate of biden's private offices or home and biden and garland in biden' at doj said nothing to you the american people information you should have had before the election. two weeks later, november 18, only investigating donald trump. not joe biden. it was not until today that garland appointed a special counsel to investigate biden. at the white house continues to claim the president had no idea classified documents or housed in multiple unsecured locations. donald trump has we pointed out yesterday had every right to declassify there's news that process if there is no legal process. ray means he has to follow. that is not something a vice president has. as jonathan turley points out, the claim is probably a boldfac live. at least someone moved multiple times. we will find out in time. that's because of the year invited center where much of th materials turned up did not ope their doors until 2018. that means over a year after biden left the obama white house . where where the documents store before them and who moved them around and who might've saw them ? spe

biden's dinner. and then we know when joe biden became president of the united states , he made the president of the university of pennsylvania, the ambassador to germany. and now the university of pennsylvania says we don't know anything about donations from china. none of that makes sense, but that makes no sense. so chairman comber is going to get the records of who gave money to the university of pennsylvania. >> he's determined to do that. and to the former question, he is specifically looking to get the visitor records from the secret service of who went to joe biden's home and then also who had access to a penn biden center at the university of pennsylvania. >> were you surprised, sir, that the white house's response on the visitor log question to biden's home, they were so dismissive, saying they don't exist? well, of course he has. i mean, we all know he has secret service protection for life and we know that they have a record of everyone who comes in contact with him. so why would they hav

biden center. what was going on there? whatever it was, it is shady as all get out. and i'm convinced that once enough subpoenas are issued, once enough investigations are launched, what we're going to find is going to shock people. >> no doubt about that. >> molly, activist chuck todd put on his i'm a journalist hat for a while. watch this. >> senator, do you have a crime that you think hunter biden committed because i've yet to see anybody explain, it's not a crime to make money off of your last name. >> so, chuck, you ought to read the marco polo report, where they detail all kinds of potential crimes. >> senator -- >> let me stop you this. potential -- >> about -- >> i'll take it at your word that you're ethically bothered by hunter biden. i'm curious, though, you seem to have a pattern -- >> are you not? >> i'm a journalist, i have to deal in facts. >> molly, he's unhinged. what do you think? >> chuck todd is not a journalist first of all. he spent years pushing the russian derangement hoax, t

secondly, joe biden is a joke. at the end of his day, i do not know how anyone can believe this imbecile of a president. everything he touches goes to pot, i will say that word. at the end of the day, he is the worst president in american history. at the end of the day, the bottom line is if biden had the same thing going on with the classified documents as trump and not only trump and bill clinton, not even clinton, but obama. i remember when obama was there and protected susan -- and she was getting ready to get in trouble and he took her stuff and put it in his library to keep her from being convicted or prosecuted or brought up on investigation charges for whatever it was. with her corruption. host: that is ivanka in california speaking of president biden in mexico city meeting today as part of the north american leaders summit is this part of the 10th north american leaders summit they had meetings this morning with the prime minister and the so-called family photo with lucas over door -- and the event at the

the biden family business which involves people from those countries giving the biden family a lot of money for access to now-president biden, this is the story. this is what we need to understand, how the biden family business has affected what's going on with the united states of america and how it relates to these other countries. ohio. howard: -- ohio ohio one is set of these documents involves ukraine, and all of this will come out, i think a lot of it with the house republican hearings. but, liz, on this question of the timing, i guess what i would ask you is this: right now we're sort of at, maybe not at 11, but we're certainly at an 8 in terms of the press jumping for a new story every single day. we'll see what comes out. but do you think in a week, ten days if there's no new bombshell revelations that the press will lose interest in the way that might not have been the case with donald trump and his classified documents? >> time will tell, obviously, but they've got a helicopter or drone, i can't tell the difference these days, circling over the wilmington the, delaware, res

what the seven or 800 times biden has lied if biden agrees to resign because he is a liar then we'll talk to santos why is he a special case? look at adam schiff he lied to the country knowingly lied about trump and the russian dossier again and again. why is there a different standard for santos as a republican i get tired of the news media and then hiding the secret documents found before the election so i am unwilling to deal with santos as an isolated case. talk to biden how often he lies but do not get sucked into this we have a president who is a liar and chairman of house intelligence committee is a liar be a freshman candidate that's a serious problem? host: do you really mean to equate the lies of george santos with adam schiff? >> yes. chairman of the intelligence committee knowingly lied to the american people again and again and again to the president of the united states why is that not an offense? just kick off the intelligence committee. and that was despicable and a betrayal of the oath of office and frankly with the biden and then to find out we still don't know who

. >> everything was on the biden name and so we took that to heart. >> reporter: james biden was also named in a lawsuit filed in july. he allegedly received about $600,000 in loans in 2018 from a company he worked with, americorps health based upon representations his last name biden could open doors and that he could obtain a large investment from the middle east based on his political connections and the investment was never delivered. the lawsuit settled though james biden deny the 9 allegations in court filings and did not respond to a request for comment. kathleen clark calls it all troubling. >> we have certainly examples of biden family members explicitly trading on his name, trying to convince business partners to do deals with them. that's outrageous. >> reporter: even so government ethics experts say the bidens' ethical comparisons pale in comparison to donald trump. >> trump was corrupt and certainly did enrich himself through the use of government power. >> reporter: even the republican congressman leading the biden investigation raises concerns about trump's dealings whi

it falls on joe biden. the american public elected joe biden because he said he was the antidote to the chaos of donald trump. you can trust me. this is a guy that was on the intelligence committee. i don't know if the top of my head for how many years, but for a long time. >> chairman of foreign relations. >> so is it incumbent upon the president, in a different way than it stops there, but to assure the american people that they have been honest, transparent, does he have to come out and say something and not just one thing, but be very direct and help people understand what happened here. >> i think that's what he's attempting to do with some limitations, which means it's hard for them to satisfy exactly what you said. which is they are not going to say anything whether it's the president or other people speaking on beafter of the white house that gets ahead of now this review that's being led by this special counsel. it meeps there's a limit to the clarify he can provide until that is done. we should gi

at biden's private office upend the biden center made possible. by the communist party of tha china. you can't make that up. thatou is exactly whereed top secret classified obama era documents turned up.mplete but years later, we have full, complete details. grea at specificity. breaking news coming up now. tonight, we are witnessing a white house in full crisis mode. they are panicking in the westk wing tonight. biden visibly shaken after the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the classifiede top secret obaa era documents that recently turned at three now separate unsecured locations. that includes joe biden's garage in delaware next to his don't worry, the garag vintage corvette. but don't worry, the garage wast locked. well, at least most of the mostf the time. take a look. there's the garage right there. anyway, the scandathl gets worse by the day. now, coming up, we'll take you through a shocking timelinebothj that is very for bothoejustic joe biden and the department of justice. his department of justice will follow the money al

department to naomi biden. dear naomi, i want to invite you to take part in a major conference in china at end of march, i have been asked to recruit a prominent young leader. they will fly you business class and supply your accommodations, they are interested in you thanks to your family name. i would not take offense to that, better you than tiffany trump, if you are interested, can you send me a bio, i would forward that and expect a formal invitation. pretty remarkable. that has not been previously reported, as far as we know. employee of university of pennsylvania, ivy league school, sending an invitation on behalf of the chinese communist party to recruit joe biden's granddaughter, she would stay in government controlled acommendations. people on television seem concerned about national security, former cia and fbi employees going on cnn and msnbc to tell you national security implication are first in mind, are they concerned about this? they asked a single question about it? of course they won't. tonight

biden's time as vice president. and biden lawyers say they followed procedure to the letter immediately alerting the national archives when those documents were found back on november 2nd. but there is also plenty still in need of explanation here. no explanation as of right now for why mr. biden had those documents or exactly what they contained. no explanation also about why the biden white house kept word of the documents and the investigation quiet for two plus months now. already, republicans making a very public case, congress should look into this. >> how long have they been sitting around? who had access all of this time? how many people had access all of this time? where is the fbi raid? you know, where is this big show of force to make sure there's no other classified documents there? >> i don't know enough about the difference in the volume and the difference in cooperation. i think those are questions that we've got to have a committee ask. i guess at this point i'm not willing to take the biden administ

or the biden set residence. in fact, after the special counsel was announced, we findl out that joe biden's personal attorneys, who don't even havenn security clearance are still rummaging through looking for documents. ugh looking for documents. this is so wrong, this is another i this is so wrong. this is another example of a two tier system of justice inl america. and this is one reason whys ar republicans are so outragee sogd over this whole process and the hypocrisy of the biden administration. >>the can you clear up one thig for me?administration. because adam schiff was talking about saying, listen, we was had a briefing on the documents that donald trump had.ald tr we should alsoum get a we briefing on the documents that joe biden had last time i checked. i don'd i dot think adam schiffs on a committee any longer, and i don't think he's probably entitled to any en y classifiedy documents of any nature becausef he was kicked off the intelligence committee. >> yeah, no. adam schiff stays with theh th intel

because where was biden this weekend? biden was in his beach house. and the fbi still hasn't been to the beach house. what was biden doing at the beach house all weekend? because i thought i saw him carrying a gallon of bleach did biden go to beach house to flush documents down the toilet in the fbi is doing bang up job letting the suspect sleep at the crime scene. hey o.j. why don't you go back to bundy drive and rest up before trial. the bronco ride probably wiped you out. rest up and see new court. the fbi let joe go wilmington before they consensually searched it and now they are going to let him go to the beerch house before we assume they consensually searched that peter doocy asked this straight up. >> is president biden involved in a cover-up? >> we have been very clear here from this administration, the president has been very clear that he takes this very seriously. >> jesse: miranda devine makes a great point. why doesn't the fbi cross-reference the classified documents with the laptop? you know, connect the dots? even jesse jr. could crack

biden was not allowed to take them at all. biden should eventually be prosecuted. host: california, bob is on the line. good morning. caller: good morning. i am definitely for the investigation. i want the investigation of hunter biden. how does a man who gets kicked out of the military for drug use wind up on the board of directors with burisma in ukraine getting $100,000 per month? he knows nothing about the board of directors. he knows nothing about anything having to do with the field that he got a job in and he is getting $1 million per year. talk about corruption. let me mention something about ukraine. it kills me to see ukrainian babies slaughtered by russia. what we need to do is give ukraine long-range missiles so they can kill russian babies. that will end the war a lot sooner when there is a cost to russia because putin is the real carnation of hitler. host: we will talk about the investigations into the biden administration broadly. we have focused on classified documents but we welcome your calls and comments. carol is next in stafford, virginia. call

but some democrats can't admit that biden was irresponsible. >> by biden's own standard, wasn't biden totally irresponsible with classified information? >> hoping that we will keep a sense of symmetry about our analysis of these situations and a sense of proportion about the underlying offenses, there are some people who are trying to compare having a government document that should no longer be in your possession to inciting a violent insurrection. >> judge jeanine: and others like adam schiff are now saying they are not rushing to any conclusions. >> white house knew about this on november 2nd. should this information have been revealed earlier? >> i think the administration will need to answer that question. i'm going to reserve judgment until they do, but i think it's important to point out that the biden approach was very different in the sense that it looks, as far as we can tell, that it was inadvertent that these documents were in these locations. >> judge jeanine: since when is adam schiff ever reserved judgment? it would have been nice if he reserved judgment over russia gat

and the latest on biden's classified document scandal, a text-message services from hunter biden allegedly asking for boxes to be moved. was hunter looking through the classified document? and california firefighter use 6,000 gallons of water to put out a burning tesla. that burst into blames and challenging which mayor lori lightfoot slammed for dancing as crime skyrockets in her city, more on how nih reportedly funded risky coronavirus research. i am da david asman in for elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. >> we begin with stocks kicking off the week down, dow sinking more than 250, fed and stock market on a collision course this week, as fed officials will meet for their first meeting of the year tomorrow and wednesday, they are expected to raise interest rates by a quarter of a points, as president biden is traveling throughout northeast to tout infrastructure spending, he is so good at spending. you could feel more pain at pump, warnings of $4 a gallon gas by march, edward lawrence is live at white house with more. reporter: it is all part of inflation. presiden

in biden's office. joe biden's lawyers found the documents couple days before the midterms. big takeaway from party to pare perspective, if this is good for one party, it has to be good for the other party or the corollary. congress did not see it that way, they jumping to the president's defense. watch. >> this is republican hypocrisy at its finest >> this is an emerging issue, referred to doj and they are going to -- >> do you think it is a national security concern? >> i think it is one of the things that is up to the doj to determine. >> do you have any comment on president biden keeping classified documents -- >> i'm sorry. >> todd: best answer from aoc, pete, it is hypocrisy on the democrat side and nancy, put down the cookie. >> todd: nancy pelosi was vocal when the trump raid occurred and criticizing trump over classified documents and you have sound bite from hillary clinton saying no one is above the law and that would include president biden. james comer has a reasonable take on this, he was

think tank called the pen biden center. the president says he doesn't know what's in those documents, but the discovery has prompted charges of hypocrisy. in january 2022 classified documents were found at the florida residents of former president donald trump. a justice department special council is also looking into that case. biden has called trump totally irresponsible from his handling the classified materials. another fo paul by the, by an administration, but treating lot differently based upon your political beliefs. one president trump one way, but treats president by the whole different way. president biden's republican critics are also questioning why it took so long for the biden administration to reveal the existence of the documents. the 1st batch was discovered on november 2nd just days before the congressional mid term election. it only became known to the public this week. kimberly held can al jazeera the white house. well, let's take a closer look at the timeline of events. on november, the 2nd biden's lawy

president biden ignored questions on the matter >> president biden did have something to say last year about his predecessor's possession of classified documents which led to the fbi raid of mar-a-lago. >> when you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor at mar-a-lago, what did you think to yourself? looking at that image? >> how that could possibly he has questions now, too, he is the chair of the house oversight committee and plans to pen a later to the national archives in the white house seeking more information because, quote: under the biden administration don and national archives made compliance records act a top priority. we expect the same treatment for president biden who apparently inappropriately maintained classified documents in insecure setting for several years attorney general merrick garland has appointed a u.s. attorney based out of chicago to investigate this matter. steve, ainsley, brian. >> steve: they have. alexandria, thank you very much. >> brian: trump appointed attorney. >> steve: what i was about to say john lawch the u.s. attor

biden agenda on track. he takes over this job. under different circumstances and arguably just as challenging as the political dynamics here in washington have changed. >> and tyler, of course, the matter of the classified documents. and this is now twice that the white house has put out public statements saying the searches for democrats were complete and after each time they found more. there seems to be growing frustration with how this is happening. some people in the building. a lot of democrats close to it. what is the latest you're hearing about where this story goes from here? >> the white house is trying to make clear that searches are only happening because they're fully cooperating with the department of justice and fbi as they launch this special counsel investigation. the white house and president biden gave access to fbi agents to search his wilmington home for nearly 13 hours volunteerly. i think at this point they say that all locations have been thoroughly searched. and they don't expect ad

joe biden went back on his promise. it was suc bh a big deal when george herbert walker bush said, read my lips, nolker s new taxes. ai taxesndand then he went backs pledge. how come joe biden, how come.t you're a liberal democrat? you're also an honest person. hv i've known you for years. for years. why can't you sa why can't you say joe biden broke his promise and now will hurt the poor middle class and people on fixed incomes?ss >> because i don't think that's really what happened. so first and foremost, i don'tta identify as a democratic socialist. and joe biden is certainly not a democrat. >> well, han joeg on a second. but you raised those taxes. e >> you admit you raise those taxes. well, no, it's a corporate no, l there were a number of built incentives built in to being greener about your life, movingr to augment electric cars, natural gas, solar has s tax, but he hasople a crude oil tax and he has a coal tax. so people that heat their homes and cool their homes, they're all going to pay a lot more that is bein

jill biden and joe biden's property in rehoboth beach, delaware. we are told by the white house that these documents, like the other batch, were immediately turned over to the national archives once they were found. the bottom line is for the president, this expands what has been a growing controversy. not the least of which, it's a political challenge for the president as well who was supposed to be making decisions whether he would run in 2024. there's a higher likelihood we will hear from the attorney general the appointment of a special counsel as we have heard growing pressure, growing calls from lawmakers, specifically republicans on the senate side, most notably lindsey graham yesterday saying in an interview on fox news basically to merrick garland, if you thought we needed a special counsel, which there is, in the investigation of donald trump's handling of classified documents, those hundreds that were found at mar-a-lago, then you have to have one in this situation as well. as you have noted and we repeated, the circumstances are very di

>> i think you can distinguish something from hunter biden from president biden. if that case implicated the president -- as long as it's just hunter biden, i don't think that decision needs to be reached. you worked pretty closely with christopher wray? >> i think he's doing a superb job under challenging circumstances. this criticism of the fbi has been ongoing for some time. if you work at the day-to-day basis, i think the american people should have confidence, and i think christopher wray is the right person. >> do we have to figure out another way to politically appoint members of the justice department? >> i don't think there's any reason to mess with the appointment process, chuck. the majority of employees of the department are career employees. the leadership is subject to political appointment. i think that's an appropriate way to manage the department. >> rod rosenstein, we appreciate you coming on and lending your perspective. >> thank you. >>> joining me is republican senator ron johnson, top republican on the subcommittee on investigations. senator

a special council is appointed to look into biden's handling of classified documents. after lawyers find more files at his home, also coming up in the far north, the swedish miners hid a rare earth metal jackpot will look at how it could help europe produce its dependence on china. ah, i'm amin east of welcome to the program. the u. s. justice department has appointed a special council to investigate after more classified documents were found at president joe biden's, delaware home. the discoveries are politically embarrassing for biden, after his sharp criticism, a former president trumps, alleged miss handling of classified documents. if, if we are the latest classified documents performed in the garage, a few as president of biden's home bloomington by law might and should have handed them over to the u. s. national archives. after he left by spitted in c in 2017, might in thieves, it was in a fed mistake. maury, people know, i take classified documents classified material seriously. i also said were cooperating fully and completely, the justice department's review.

biden has not done that. biden invited the doj and the fbi and all of the investigators into his home to take a look. that, same sorry -- >> it was probably between that and a search warrant being executed. intent is important here and that is what investigators are looking at. >> i can just say, look, again, the comparisons and the what-ism is going to be natural. i will be the first to admit, as i've said many times, the volume regarding former president trump is much greater and the secrecy is much greater. there is a special counsel investigation looking into that. what we are talking about today and this weekend is a special counsel investigation of the current president who said there is no there there, and there apparently is something there. and let me remind everyone that when this was going on with the former president, president biden said said, how could anyone be so irresponsible with classified documents? that's the question we need to be asking the current president, how could he be so irrespon

you remember. >> president biden: the pandemic is over. no one is wearing masks, everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. i think it is changing and this is a perfect example of it. >> harris: yesterday in court the department of justice pushed to appeal an april decision which struck down that federal mask mandate. florida congressman brian mast points out if you want to wear a mask on a plane no one is stopping you. we aren't going back to mandates period. >> we'll see what the federal court has to say about that. this administration is arguing that way back in april of 2021 a district judge says the cdc doesn't have the authority to this mandate. all the public transportation you have to wear a mask and you may remember depending how you felt about it i was at the airport. there were some cheers. pilots say if you want to wear a mask do that, if you don't, do that. respect each other. what the government was arguing yesterday in court was essentially we should have the power to bring that mandate back if we feel like it is appropriat

every person in the biden administration told us that including joe biden himself. what data compromised sources and methods biden asked? he was doing the same thing he accused donald trump of doing. joe biden was storing classified documents in a private office at a think tank set up for him at the university of pennsylvania. it's the biden center for diplomacy and global engagement at the university of pennsylvania. we don't know what the classified documents are. we won't speculate. accord to cnn they were sensitive. quote: so what were these materials? nuclear codes? we will find out soon but garland will unleash a pre-dawn raid on the university of pennsylvania at any moment. [laughing]. that's a national security threat. merrick garland will get right on that. penn takes a lot of money from the chinese communist party. i am not making that up. penn received more than $50-million from chinese donors. were those donors peering at the class tied documents that joe biden had been stashing at the fake think tank that penn set up for him? we are looking forward to t

biden rolled out this familiar attack on republicans yesterday during his speech. >> president biden: they want to cut your social security and medicare. now this is the god's truth. almost unbelievable. >> harris: senator kennedy not letting that one go and neither did rick scott. >> well, that's -- president biden says my party, i, want to gut social security and medicare and medicaid. and that's just not true. not even george santos would make up a whopper like that. and the president knows that. >> harris: oh man. >> no one is better than senator kennedy. >> harris: rick scott was on yesterday and he said we'll do everything that we can to protect not just social security and medicare for right now he said there is enough money but both of those programs down the road because democrats are the ones who want to cut it, medicare in particular. >> we have to be honest about social security. when it was instituted the average woman lived to be 62, the average man 59. never a sincere policy. we got the idea from europe. bismarck came up with the idea. offer them to push back. so we nev

or joe biden. the press conference, i feel, is a defense of donald trump. a real game here is to say, hey, everybody is corrupt. everybody is doing this. everybody is on the cake. we certainly know donald trump benefited, profited from presidency. he will say others profited from their presidency. he wants to say other family members, you know, i've made money the way jared kushner made money off the trump presidency. trump really feels that creating an atmosphere where you talk about how everybody is corrupt benefits him, because it makes his corruption seem normal in comparison, and the house republicans are following that trump playbook. that's why i kind of think that having trump as a gop nominee, look, i'm a democrat, i want democrats to win, but in america, it's something i really don't want to see. >> it's interesting. the way you put that analytically is a little different than a straight read. margaret, i'm curious to your view. not all politics is personal, although it can be. chase poin

did biden have any idea the documents were there when they moved out of the office at the penn biden center and is that why attorneys might have been present? had he any idea. we have plenty of old footage of him in that car. he loves that car and talked about it before. loves to drive it. and today he talked about it several times saying yeah, the classified documents were with his locked up corvette in that garage. we also know there was at least one document in an adjacent room. we don't know if that room was locked up. there wasn't a corvette in it. >> very sloppy. this is something that won't go away. why didn't they tell us this yesterday when the story broke about the documents being found in the biden center? we're going to find out more. >> harris: you think they knew? >> i don't know if they knew or not. but if they didn't that's a concern. we know that what we learned two days ago happened in november. they may have known and thought they had it bottled up. if they did know when the first set of documents was found and didn't talk about the second, then that's a huge probl

biden personal counsel informed him that additional documents were found at biden's private home. fbi got them. in his garage. next to his corvette. we have january 5, briefed garland on the investigation. advice a special counsel was har wanded. -- warranted. i might add january 8, was my interview with more comer, january 9, the leak, i think by the biden administration to cbs news, about first batch to get in front of it january 12 biden counsel called lausch saying that an additional document was identified, three times. why didn't the biden lawyers receive subpoenas? or fbi take it on themselve to investigate all of biden's offices? and hang outs or what have you? why were they relying on private lawyers for biden? this reminds you of hillary clinton situation, in trump's case, they send in fbi s.w.a.t. that is because trump wouldn't turn them over, no, they are negotiating, this is the normal way to be handled, they were negotiating. they pulled trigger. to criminalize their negotiations with donald trump they were looking to perhaps make a charge or charges of be on vehicle

and the penn biden center. it is imperative to understand whether any biden family members gained access to the dookz while stored at the penn biden center. legitimate questions. how did they get there? who had access to them and the house republicans work in the foreign influence part, innuendo with the fact request. >> the innuendo is hunter biden, a theme within the biden administration is foreign influence. now, one thing, of course, the oversight committee was just formed yesterday. but one thing i'm going to be looking for are they going to keep sending letters and make noise or hold hearings about this and what are those hearings going to look like. because republicans privately admit to me that their goal is in large part to muddy the water, to take down the temperature on the trump document saga and that might be a success in their eyes if voters can no longer understand the difference even though there are major differences between the two cases. >> and key question as we jump in, i want to listen to

and china, president biden. all of these things are connected. and this isn't about being punitive, this is this is about doing the fundamental things that protect the american people. maria: i mean, we know that adam schiff lied for four years telling us that there was russia collusion with trump in plain sight, now he wants to run percent senate. should this guy get another chance in a law making, leading position after misleading the american people, dividing the country so much? >> so, maria, i served with adam schiff mt. house of representatives on the intelligence committee, and then i had to deal with him when he was the chairman of the house of intelligence committee when i was cia director. maria: right. >> he lied to the american people. he kept promising just wait, there's documents, there's stufm a member of the gang of eight that sees the most sensitive classified information. i'm going to share this with you someday. that was all a lie. we know that he knew that it was a lie. it was fundamentally i

by biden's own standard, wasn't biden totally irresponsible with classified information? and aren't we right to wonder, to use biden's words, quote, what data was in there that might compromise sources and methods? >> well, i think we'll get to the bottom of all of that. that's why special counsel has been appointed by attorney general merrick garland. he did the right thing there, to look into it. i'm hoping that we will keep a sense of symmetry about our analysis of these situations and a sense of proportion about the underlying offenses. there are some people trying to compare having a government document that should no longer be in your possession to inciting a violent insurrection against the government of the united states. those are obviously completely different things. that's apples and oranges. so we should keep a sense of proportion and measure about what we're talking about. >> the first batch of documents was found on november 2nd, a week before the midterm, but the public didn't learn about it until it was reported in the press just this past week. even then

it wasn't biden. >> leslie. let me read them to you: no one making less than $400,000 a year will pay single additional tax for all those things. he said it 100 times. you are going with the answer and out right lie to our audience. that is not true what you are saying. >> you know me very well. >> i think you believe it. doesn't mean it is totally false. >> if i tax you, sean, you pass that taxation on to your customers to keep your greed and wealth. >> my greed? anybody that fills up their gas tank will pay more or heats their home will pay more. biden called trump irresponsible for handling documents of mar-a-lago. donald trump did have the power to declassify. joe biden didn't as vp. by biden's own standard, was he irresponsible, simple question. moody mafia:) >> look i said this when the documents were found by donald trump. we have a huge problem here whether you are president or vice president with the process for document leaving the white house, leaving offices and where these boxes end up going. that i
