sean: that's all for us today. thanks for watching this special edition of "kudlow." tune in to "the bottom line" tonight, dagen and duffy. have a wonderful weekend, and we have the great guy benson in for liz macdonald. i guy: hey, sean, see you in an hour. i am guy benson, and "the evening edit" starts right now. >> what's going to be clearly

revealed is that hunter biden was the bagman, joe biden knew exactly what was going on and was involved, and the entire purpose was to shake down companies, shake down foreign countries for money. because the only thing that the biden family has to sell is political influence. there's no other business with this family. that is public corruption. joe biden was selling access to his office through his son, and in my view, that is an impeachable offense. guy: and you're one witness away from somebody putting joe biden squarely mt -- in the middle of hunter biden's corrupt business dealingsment it could that happen as early as next week with devon archer. guy: hunter biden's former business partner scheduled to appear in a closed door briefing with the house oversight committee staff on capitol hill on monday. archer expected to testify that he personally witnessed joe biden sitting in on at least two dozen phone calls with hunter

despite joe repeatedly denying he had any knowledge at all of his son's foreign business deals. uh-huh. with me now is the journalist that broke the news on devon archer's testimony, new york post columnist miranda devine. it's good to see you, miranda. >> you too, guy. guy: is this actually going to happen on monday? my understanding is these conversations, these interviews and the expected testimony has been deferred on multiple occasions. will we finally hear from mr. archer next week? >> yes. look, i believe so. i know that there was a lot of toing and froing and and dates put up over the last two weeks x and they never really settled on one day, but they did settle on this monday, july 31st. and so i believe that's going ahead. and i don't think devon archer wants to put it off again because, or you know, he's suffering from death threats and as has had to leave his home. it's all very awkward for him,

so i think that, you know, chances are he's just going to want to get it over and done with and, of course, congress goes into their august recess shortly. so i think on both sides there's a desire to get it out of the e way. as i previewed on monday, what devon archer is expected to tell congress and the oversight committee is pretty damaging to joe biden because it just blows up his entire story about knowing nothing about his son hunter's overseas business dealings. and here we've got devon archer saying that while joe biden was dialed in by hunter on speakerphone on up to two dozen occasions to speak with his overseas business partners, that joe biden came along to two dinners at least in café milano in georgetown, again, to meet

hunter biden's business partners, again while he was vice president. so it's very difficult for joe biden to sort of continue to stonewall. i notice that the white house has changed their form of words. now they're saying joe biden is not in business with his son. but, you know, that wasn't the question. that's really meant forward a good -- leapt forward a good deal. guy: totally. and we have the reporting from various sources about some of these in-person meetings. we have the testimony and the public statements on the record from tony bobulinski who was another man connected to this family and the business, and then devon archer, you used the word awkward. this is going to be awkward for him. why is that? explain why his level of knowledge is important here. >> devon archer was hunter biden's best friend in business. they met at yale, and if they were in business -- and he were in business together and friendship together for many years throughout joe biden's

vice presidency. and they made a fair amount of money together, and then eventually devon archer came unstuck with their last joint venture which was this company called burnham which ended up dissolving into fraud convictions for numerous people involved. other than hunter biden even though hunter biden was listed, i think, as vice chairman and earned a couple of hundred thousand dollars. and devon archer lost millions of dollars on the deal. he's the one going to jail, and i think, you know, he would feel fairly bitter about that. i know friends around him say that he feels that he's just been abandoned by the bidens having been promised by hunter that he was family, that he was blood, that he was a part of a great family, the bidens, who would never abandon him. and i think that's the opposite that has happened to devon archer. so he's got nothing to lose

really. yeah. guy: i was going to say that family, the biden family, it's hard to exactly track how much money flowed into their various accounts and coffers. a lot of it was disguised through shell corporations and very complex transactions over the course of many years. nancy mace, who's a republican congresswoman from south carolina, she ballparked at least one figure. here's what she said. listen. >> based on the evidence i've seen so far, i think the number's going to be north of $50 million that we're talking about here. this will go down as one of the most politically corrupt presidents and families in u.s. history. and we've got to show and prove it to the american people. we've got to show them everything that we have. guy: so, miranda, we know that the oversight committee has presented some evidence, like bank records, of this. what, nine different members of the family getting payments, and it's totally unclear in many cases why they were paid, what the services rendered were. at the very least, you would

think this should get the attention and sort of raise the curiosity of people beyond conservatives and and republicans. >> well, absolutely. and, look, we have the testimony from two irs whistleblowers who were the two investigators looking into hunter biden for five years. they board over his documents -- pored over his documents and bank statements, and what they found was $17 million, a little bit more, that flowed through and off to various namely members and -- family members and associates from china and russia and romania and so on, kazahkstan. and from that, they counted 8.3 million to hunter. now, there may be other money that we don't know about, and there may have been earlier money. but, certainly, you know, does it really matter if it's, you know, $10,000 or $50 million? it's still money that came

through in very suspicious circumstances. and, you know, which revolved around joe biden, the then-vice president. the power and if influence -- and influence that he wielded in the countries that were coughing up all this money. so that's where it becomes relevant today to the fact that you have a president sitting in the oval office who may be compromised in the eyes of those countries that spent all that money on his various family members. guy: well and, miranda, you just start to tally up the lies, the misstatements, the false denials from joe biden himself. the laptop was russian disinformation, i have no knowledge of any of this business stuff with my son or my brother or anyone else, my son made no money in china. we'll deal with that later in the show. >> yes. guy: these things are demonstrably false, and you would say where there's a lot of growing smoke, there might be some fire. and following it all is miranda devine. miranda, thank you. >> thanks so much, guy.

guy: meanwhile, president biden is this mained today trying to sell bidenomics -- maine today, but are americans buying what he's selling? well, watch this. >> the cost of everything's going up. i'm just worried about -- it's affecting me and my household. i can't imagine how it's affecting the rest of us out there. guy: well, it doesn't seem like a very glowing review from that voter. and with the fed hiking rates again this week, americans are understandably still worried. joining us now is "forbes" media chairman and ed editor in chief steve forbes. it's great to see you, sir. >> good to see you, guy. thank you. guy: so you got the president up in the northeast, in new england, saying, hey, look at all this progress we're making. in fact, here he was earlier. let's watch together. >> yesterday we learned the economy grew faster than expected last quarter. and this morning we saw data showing the last month the annual rate of inflation continued to decline. so inflation is now at it lowest

point in two years. and wages are up after being adjusted for inflation. guy. all right. so that's what we're hearing from the president. that's the talking point that i expect we'll get for a while here. what's your reaction to the way the president's trying the paint this economy? >> well, give him an a for effort on something that gets an f in terms of performance. prices have gone up, as you know, 15-20% since he's taken office. and while the rate of inflation has come down, what that means is prices are still going up. the rent prices are still going up, and that's what people notice. their standard of living is not improving, and they don't really feel the economy's going in the right direction. he ignores the fact the federal reserve still wants to raise rates more to slow the economy down even more. the administration itself is piling on regulations which is hurting the economy. bank lending is going to be hurt by the regulations that are coming along, both with the big

banks and the regional banks. consumer debt is going up, not down. so a lot of people are feeling the squeeze, and a lot of businesses and commercial real estate have got loans coming up to be renegotiated, renewed with higher interest rates. so you have some serious headwinds out there. you've got economies overseas not doing very well. we all know what's happening in china. so i'm astonished they're going out there and saying, boy, don't believe your eyes, things are really great. he's just setting himself up for 2024 disaster. that's one of the reasons e why i don't think he's going to be the democratic nominee next year. guy: well, you know, there's the rosy framing that you just described, you're incredulous that they're trying it. on the other side, the same day the president's in maine trying to build that case, the vice president -- who will be his ticketmate supposedly next year -- she was singing a slightly different tune. watch this. >> most americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy. guy: i mean, that's true.

it's also a really tough fact about how people are hurting. and and this is a tough balancing act. tricky for the white house the say, hey, things are improving and we get the credit for that. but you're still hurting and you're on the brink of catastrophe in many cases. a bit of dissonance, you might say. >> oh, absolutely. it's one thing as happened back in the early 1980s when we came out of a real rough recession. the economy did improve. taxes were cut, regulations were with cut back, spending had some control. military spending went up which helped win the cold war, and the american people were feeling things were finally getting back in a positive direction again. if that's not the case here, overseas things are really dicey, we could have a disaster blow up there whether it's in the middle east with iran and the bomb or something else, and so this happy talk at one point they say, oh, the american people are struggling and they need us democrats. on the other hand, they're saying, oh, don't feel bad, things are getting better. and so i think it just deepens

trust of the -- distrust of the institutions of the united states which is one more reason why we have this malaise are today and people feel things just not are right and why they're going to be looking, i think, at some unusual candidates in 2024 before this is over. guy: steve, very quickly before i let you go, on. going debate. recession. is it coming this year? is it coming next? what do you think? >> i don't know how the economic theologians are going to define recession. call it walking knew moan ya. not enough to put you in bed, but you know you're not feeling very well. there could be a real downturn, but for most people they're going to either fill on the tread mill and the tread mill is winning or they're continuing to fall behind. and the federal reserve, keep in mind, wants more people unemployed. they don't want wages going up so much, so that's why when the economy looks good, people wonder is that going to mean the fed's going to pile on more and rye to slow it down? so, yeah, call it a punk economy and let the theologians decide

the exact terms. but people are realizing this is not a good situation, and these people don't have the right prescriptions. just the opposite. guy: well, they want great i tuesday. they want everyone, oh, wow, look at what they're doing for us. most americans don't agree with that assessment. steve forbes, thank you so much. >> thank you. appreciate it. guy: coming up here, the latest from president biden blaming maga republicans for climate change. interesting. plus, we have former white water deputy counsel sol wisenberg and outkick's mary katherine hamm on republicans reacting with fury to what they say is brazen timing of new charges against former president trump, some of them claiming those charges were filed to distract from hunter biden's sweetheart plea deal imploding in court this week. that's next. we'll debate it on "the evening edit." >> sadly enough, what we're seeing in the last several weeks and months is the two systems of justice, the absolute two systems of justice. one for democrats and one for

republicans. and the american people, i will tell you, they're just tired of it. ♪ ♪ more shopping? you should watch your spending honey. i'm saving with liberty mutual, mom. they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. check it out, you could save $700 dollars just by switching. ooooh, i'll look into that. let me put a reminder on my phone. save $700 dollars. pick up dad from airport? ohhhhhh. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

guy: e a third person has now been charged in the mar-a-lago classified documents case, and many analysts believe there are more charges still to come for

former president donald trump. fox's griff jenkins is live outside the u.s. district court with the very latest. griff. >> reporter: i hey, good evening, guy. no new indictments out of the d.c. grand jury looking into election interference and january 6th. the jurors did not meet in the building here behind me. doesn't mean they won't, but they haven't yet. meanwhile, former president trump spent all day on social media lashing out at the new charges coming out of the florida case over classified documents. here is what he wrote, some of what he wrote on truth social, take a look. he says, at the direction of crooked joe biden and and his weaponized d to oj, deranged jack smith is attempting to destroy the lives of two fine people who have worked for me and have done a great job for a long time. they are being persecuted with one goal, to get trump. trump now faces two new charges for obstruction, accused of asking staff to delete surveillance video and one new charge of willful retention of national defense information

sources say pertains to a highly classified iran war document. smith also added a new defendant, the property manager at mar-a-lago, charged with obstruction and making false statements. one interesting exchange in the superseding indictment, deolivera alleged hi told another mar-a-lago employee, quote, the boss wants the server deleted, but that a employee responded he didn't know how to do it, and he didn't believe he had the right to do it. the the only thing now back here at the d.c. federal courthouse we have learned is that there are preliminary security planning underway in the event that indictments do come down with this grand jury and trump has to appear in court much like he did in miami last month. guy, we'll send it back to you. guy: all right, griff, thank you very much. so evidence against trump the, in my view, in this case is strong and incriminating, including some of the new stuff that we just learned about last night. but so is the justice department

giving the sweetheart deal that we saw this week to hunter biden. it's even worse than we thought. and the very next day hitting trump with more indictment charges. of let's bring in to discuss former white water deputy counsel soll wising berg and outkick columnist mary katherine hamm. sol, within the four corners of this case, it seems to me that the indictment got stronger against trump if the evidence bears this out. the iran document that we've heard about. he gave that answer to bret baier in an interview last month, and this alleged order to destroy evidence, security foot an. that would not bode well if it's true, yes? >> i agree with you. if they can prove if it. and the strongest part of the original indictment has to do with what, what the former president allegedly did once he got that grand jury subpoena. you can argue and debate about a lot of things about the presidential records act, what's classified, what's not. but once you get a grand jury

subpoena and you're accused of telling people not to tell the truth or of hiding documents or in this case if it's true of asking that things be deleted, then you've got problems unless you've got a strong factual defense. guy: yeah. and and we don't know what the defense would be. we know what trump has said publicly in interviews and that sort of thing, and they'll make their case at some point in court in all likelihood. but, mary katherine, i know that some people -- especially trump critics on the left -- are going to say it's what aboutism to bring up hillary clinton and hunter biden. hillary green with juicily mishandleed classified information and lied about it repeatedly. her team destroyed evidence, we all member that -- remember that. and in just the back to back days, hunter -- sweetheart deal doesn't even cover it. it was even worse than we realized until the judge can

asked a question, the whole thing blew up. and the very next thing they are reminding us at the doj how much they can come after someone to really bring them down when they want to. i think a lot of americans look at the facts in the trump case and say, okay, whatever that shows, why on earth do these other people get different standards? that, i think, is a real problem here. >> look, you're right. no two cases are exactly analogous, but i think you can look at the hillary clinton and the trump handling of documents and go, wow, so much energy is being spent to go after trump for this. and, look, i think the evidence is strong and the evidence is often, as far as we can tell at this point, in his own words. so that's something he has to contend with. but there was also plenty of evidence for hillary, right? [laughter] hunter biden is an entirely different story where you have the evidence falling upon us every day, and the sweetheart deal we're talking about is yet another example of almost, you know, so much energy going into protecting this person as to the other, as opposed to the other

way around, when he should be paying consequences for his actions as as a regular american should if the biden administration and the doj actually believe no one is above the law. guy: yeah. seems like some people are above the law, some people aren't, and it might depend on your partisan sill failuation. -- affiliation. sol, there might be another indictment coming from special counsel, there might be another case brought against trump in the state of georgia next month. you could have potentially four active cases against the president. what would the timing then look like moving forward into an election year possibly? >> oh, my god, who knows? [laughter] i think it's, i think it's -- i've said this from the very beginning, the chances of him going to trial on anything federally before the election are very, are very slight. and the best thing he's got going with for him on the mar-a-lago case is it's extremely likely he's going to

have maga people on the trial jury. and when you have people for any side who are very politically committed to somebody, it makes, it makes conviction difficult. we very much saw that in some of the clinton-related cases that were brought by our office back in the late '90s where there was a 10-2 vote for conviction, and there was one person on that jury who said i will never vote to convict anybody who is affiliated with bill clinton. guy: yeah. and maybe the inverse would with happen here. you've got some trump fans down in florida. i guess we'll see. we've got to leave it there. sol, mary katherine, thank you both so much. up next, could an at-home finger prick blood test detect alzheimer's disease early? plus, we have former u.s. energy secretary rick perry here on latest from president biden and hillary clinton, speaking of, blaming maga republicanses for high temperatures all across the countriful stay with us.

>> we provided a record $50 billion for climate resiliency, but our maga extremist congress are trying to undo all this progress. not a single republican voted, voted for the inflation reduction act which had all this money for climate. and now many of them are trying to repeal those provisions. we're not going to let that a happen. dye guy ah, yes, the inflation reduction act that had all this money for climate. he's right about that. and that was president biden yesterday blaming maga republicans for climate change as scorching heat lingers across the country. now new data from the u.n. says this month will be the hottest on record. the head of that body warning our planet has reached a boiling point. with that, let's welcome in former u.s. energy secretary and former texas governor rick perry. governor, it's great9 to see you. here's the thing, blaming maga

republicans for hot temperatures just seems so dumb even if you're onboard with all the climate stuff on the left. if i'm not mistaken, maybe you can correct me on this, but i believe u.s. emissions have been coming down dramatically and did so under president trump even when we were out of the paris climate accords. it just seems like saying, oh, if it's hot out and you're sweating, blame the current crop of republicans. does anyone believe that? >> and blame fossil fuel. i mean, that's the mantra that that you get from the left all the time. and it doesn't hold up after you check the facts. and, you know, the facts is that we have moved way too far into the renewable category, wind and solar in particular, and we need to be focused on clean-burning natural gas and nuclear power. one of the things you would think that if all of these activist democrats really cared about the climate, that you

would hear them talking about zero emission, small modular reactors, walk away safe, economically feasible, and you never hear them talking about it. they only talk about, you know, maga republicans not passing our explosive budget for the inflation reduction act which is kind of an interesting name for something that does not reduce -- guy: inflation? >> extraordinarily shortsightedded people. guy: definitely shortsighted. they also, if you take that sound bite at face value, oh, blame the other party for the hot temperatures and for climate change, to not really seriously talk about, oh, i don't know, china or india, these billion-plus population countries that are not shackling themselves with any of this. they might talk a good game occasionally in the international community, but they're doing absolutely what's in their countries' interest. to say, oh, one-half of a political process in the united states is the problem is so

provincial and small-mind manied and inaccurate, right? -- small-minded. i think the numbers speak for themselves if you actually look at them. >> well, and this administration appears to be really desirous of being friendly with the chinese. so if you want to be friendly with the chinese, mr. biden, i why don't you sell american liquefied natural gas to them and get them off of the dirty-burning coal? seems to me that that would make a lot of sense. if you care that much about the environment, the people who are making the environment worse are the chinese and india with their coal-burning plants. so let's get transitioned over there with clean-burning, american-produced natural gas. that would make sense to me, but i'm not sure they care about the climate, they just like to use it for if its political points because america was driving down emissions, we were transitioning from older, inefficient coal-burning plants. we're doing our part. and yet this administration

stops permitting of lng export facilities. they've stopped the pipeline coming from canada. i mean, it's just -- this anti-fossil fuel mantra that is day in and day out out of this administration -- and, of course, it's all the republicans' fault. guy: yep. it's there's an agenda here, a partisan agenda, and there's also the control. they like the control and using various excuses to exert that control. and this is probably the biggest one, especially on the economic front. governor rick perry of texas, former energy secretary, it's great to see you. thanks so much, sir. >> good to be with you, guy. thank you. guy: still ahead, we'll check in with dr. marty makary on a possible at-home finger prick blood test that is said to be quite accurate in detecting alzheimer's early. also much more on hunter biden admitting to a federal judge that he received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a chinese communist party-backed

dr. marty makary to talk about this. all right, docker let's talk about the -- doc, let's talk about the breakthrough. is this significant, and if so, how so? >> i think a lot of doctors do think this is significant, guy, because this is the first time we're actually seeing components of the alzheimer's plaque in the blood system. and that may be a tool, because we're not very good at figuring out who just has age-related dementia,ing 40 may just be forgetting things as a part of ordinary life and who may have very early alzheimer's. and now that we've got some drugs that can be used early in the course of alzheimer's, there's a race now to try to detect it really early. guy: yeah. so i want to talk about the drugs in a second, but one of my thoughts on this disease in particular if which is a really bad one, the the benefits of catching, let's say, cancer early on are obvious to everyone, right? you want to catch it early, you always hear this, so you can treat it as soon as possible so it doesn't spread.

with alzheimer's, maybe you can slow it down. are there major medical benefits to catching it early? if maybe not quite the same way as cancer, but in ways that would matter in terms of treatment? >> it's unknown because you're exactly right, you've got to having something that's actionable if you pick something up earlier in a test. if you just know earlier in advance that you're going to develop some condition and it's not actionable or treatable, then what are we really doing? sometimes we're just creating more anxiety for the patient. some patients say i don't want to know if i can't do anything about it. but given these new drugs and, remember, there's a bunch of lifestyle things too that we believe can result in the development of alzheimer's. chronic poor sleep, certain high glycemic foods. there's not enough research in that space, but alzheimer's is going up. we're having at lot more people diagnosed with it, and it's not just because we have more elderly in america. the number is 6 million, which

is a lifetime number, lifetime prevalence rate right now, it's going up, and it's expected to double democrat next 30 years. -- in the next 30 years. so we've got to figure out what's causing it and get better with the drugs. guy: on the drugs, how optimistic are you about these newly-approved drugs by the fda? is this a breakthrough we're celebrating? is it a steppingstone toward, god willing, one day a cure? how are you feeling about that? >> ever since i was a kid i remember hearing on the news almost every year that we were about to cure cancer and so many other diseases, so i have a general healthy skepticism. but here's where i am enthusiastic. there was a theory that if you give someone monoclonal antito bodies just like we did for covid to the plaque in the brain, that you could actually slow the progression of the citizen. that was a theory -- of the disease. it's now proven correct. we've got good data that there is a direct association. right now the drugs though have a e high side effect profile. a couple people have died on the

drugs. this is brain swelling -- there's brain swelling and brain bleeding. it's a difficult call right now, it's hard to assess whether or not the risk-ratio men -- risk-benefit ratio is there, but it is a promising step, and hopefully it'll get better and safer over time. guy: and that realization that you just mentioned, that's at least progress, and they can start to to refine things, at least that's the hope. dr.ty makary, great to see you, thanks so much. good to see you, thanks. guy: a rowdy crowd leaves a police car damaged just before four people were shot at an illegal seattle treat race. what started the brawl? we'll talk about that. plus, house oversight committee member congressman pat fallon with more on hunter biden admitting to a federal judge he received large payments from a chinese company, contradicting his dad's claim the biden family never, quote, made money from china. but first, let's check in with our good friends dagen and sean to see what they've got cooking next hour on "the bottom line."

guy: here's a flashback for you. remember when then-candidate joe biden denied his son hunter ever made any money are from china? roll the tape. >> my son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, china. i have in the had -- the only guy who made money from china is this guy. he's the only one. nobody else has made money from china. guy: that was during a presidential debate against donald trump ever very big stage there. in fact, he said trump was the one who made money from china. isn't it interesting, he says, oh, my son never made money from china, but also i never discussed business with with my son. these things don't go together. well, as you saw just this week, hunter himself disproved his

dad's claim. joining me now from the house oversight committee is congressman pat fallon of texas and, congressman -- [laughter] so you have joe biden on the debate stage in front of tens of millions of viewers back in 2020 saying he didn't make any money from china, we didn't make any money from china, only trump did. and then in court week in front of a judge, hunter was talking about his chinese business partner, huge payments that were made which might be, you know, lower than the full amount, frankly. but that seems to be a direct rebuttal of his own father's assertions that he made over and over again to voters. >> guy, joe biden is pathological in his falsehoods. i mean, it goes all the way back to when he was booted out of the '88 campaign. i don't know if this guy knows how to tell the truth. he's always convenient with his misremembering and/or lies. for instance, as you just pointed out, if he did know anything about his son's business dealings, how could he be so sure that the -- he never

did any business with chai? contradictory statements. come on. he had to cover it up because he wanted to be elected president of the united states. fact of matter is hunter made almost three-quarters of a million dollars with the chinese, cefc company that is controlled by the communist party, and his -- the family, the biden syndicate made over a million dollars, i think it was $1,065,000, something in that range. so joe biden said to the american people i don't know anything about what my son does, i've never talked to any of his business associates. lie, i lie, and then hunter didn't do business with the chinese, another lie. guy: and the laptop was russian disinformation, lie. i mean, you just start ticking down the list. 9 and the other thing that strikes me, congressman, and this is relevant to your work on oversight committee, last week we all watched the irs whistleblowers testify. these are career officials, one of them is a registered democrat, no axe to grind, not on your side of the aisle. and they repeatedly testified

under oath that they were not permitted to ask certain questions, following the money, for example, in a way that might flow up to the big guy. and then you hear your democratic colleagues on other side of the aisle say, well, the republicans are wrong about this because they don't have the evidence. well, when the investigators are forbidden from asking about the evidence, you can't really turn around and say, well, there's no evidence. like that means something. that's part of the problem they have with that talking point, it seems to me. >> yeah. the democrats are just running cover for the bidens. if you're an investigator and you can't ask witnesses who the big guy was or who dad was when you see these in messages, that's not getting to the truth. that's obfuscating the entire investigation and really undermining it. another one, gary shapley, one of the irs investigators, said that he wasn't how ared to go and confront -- allowed to go and confront hunter and approach him. he could sit outside of his house, but he'd have to wait for hunter to knock on his window to talk which, of course, he never

did. and the red line for agent ziegler was when hunter hut down one of his shell companies to transfer the documents to a northern virginia storage facility, and they weren't -- and they were going to serve a search warrant, but of all people a u.s. assistant attorney, leslie wolf, tip off hunter's lawyers. guy: yeah. >> so, of course, anything that was of relevance there met with a match and some gasoline. guy: yeah, this is just not, it's not normal. >> it's completely -- give guy it's not how it's supposed to work, and they're gaslighting saying, oh, no, everything is fine, and people don't believe that. the evidence is mounting. congressman pat fallon, thank you so much. >> an out of control crowd, look at this, leaving a police car damaged and then four people got shot amid the chaos. that was out in seattle. stay tuned for more. ♪

pictures and images. what's the context there? >> yeah, it's hard to watch them. even now. and i've seen that video probably dozens of times at this point. it's one of the main reasons i'm running for city council. i'm running because i am absolutely frustrate with our city council that it has come to this, and this is kind of a regular thing now. guy: the police were responding to some sort of an incident or brawl, the crowd blocked their path: they hopped on the car, they were shaking the car, and later in the melee you had four people shot. this is the type of lawlessness that you're talking about, right? >> yeah. to get it in better context just because i realize we're in seattle, we started off -- the i've been an officer for 10 years. we start started off with 1300 # officers when i first got hired

we're now down to about 800. we've roughly lost about 500 officers in less than two years. so we are stretched very thin. this week we had a taylor swift concert two nights in a row, we had baseball, we had the capitol hill block party, and what you're seeing right there is the very end of the block party that usually has 100,000 people show up. and right there was a street the racing event that was going on. the problem is hose people are not from seattle. they have come into the city because they know that our department is stretched so thin that they can get away with that. guy: and people are quitting the force because morale, the city doesn't have their back, a host of different reasons. finish it's getting dangerous. levels are quite low, as you pointed out.

inside of his hands almost never been in contact know it has gotten is becoming increasingly violent for people they do not feel safe going out at night and the livability of this beautiful city, that i absolutely love, is being torn away for me in front of my own pfizer refused to give up so that is why i'm willing to think the unpaid leave of absence that i'm going to run for city council and willing to take it a decent size pay cut my pensionable and after ten years. >> good for you . bless you and good luck because somebody has to do it i hope the voters respond the course of the huge questionnaire and marshall have a good weekend and we do appreciate it. and you can send your e-mails to the viewers a popstar common with various thoughts of you have please because my video show, every weekday three - six eastern end conference and showdown common i am by benson and for this thank you for watching and time now for the bottom line, and hello. >> thank you dag
