6:00 am
demanding the public hearing. the lawyer says your blatant planned media event is an obvious attempt to throw a hail mary pass after the game ended. mr. biden declined your invitation to this clown side show. comer says this. what is apparent after over a year of investigation is the bidens don't work in any traditional sense of the word. not as consultants or advisors. the bidens don't sell a product, service or set of skill. they sell joe biden. now who we will see tony bobulinski, the former hunter associate as well as jason galanis appearing via video from prison. >> steve: you'll see it here on the channel one hour from now. >> brian: we'll talk about it on the radio. >> ainsley: stay within yourself. bye, everyone. >> bill: good morning. legal whiplash to begin with. carried us into the night.
6:01 am
a federal appeals court puts a texas border security law on hold again only hours after the u.s. supreme court allowed it to go into effect. now we go back to square one with oral arguments in a court hearing beginning two hours from now. much more on that coming up momentarily. first, however, there is this right now. >> if he does not show up, then it is not going to end well for the bidens. they will be multiple criminal referrals. >> bill: is hunter biden bluffing? the first son says he won't show up for a public hearing on his overseas business dealings but he has surprised us in the past. good morning, everybody. bill hemmer live in new york. the hearing begins in an hour. hello. >> dana: ready for it? these hearings happening at a good time in our hour. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." less than an hour from now is when the house oversight committee will hold the public hearing on the bidens alleged
6:02 am
influence peddling. two of hunter biden's business associates will appear and one will be appearing remotely from prison. the president's son says he will be a no show. >> bill: remember, hunter repeatedly called for a public hearing. republicans insisted fir on a closed-door deposition. hunter resisted that but eventually sat down for the interview. that's done and complete. we'll see what he does today. >> dana: the cherry blossoms are gorgeous in washington. jason smith is on deck. first to david spunt to lay it out for us on capitol hill. >> good morning. republicans say today is a serious hearing, legitimate. supposed to go over the problem of influence peddling which they say is a serious issue in washington, d.c. democrats would argue today is an opportunity for republicans to show an empty chair with the name plate hunter biden who is not expected to show. hunter biden's attorney abbe lowell wrote a scathing letter to james comer last week.
6:03 am
if you're serious about pursuing this oversight purpose in a legitimate and bipartisan fashion you would hold a hearing with relatives of former president trump whom you indicated you would ask. if you do mr. biden would consider an invitation for that event. hunter spent the day testifying underoath before the committee last month. not expected to show, he has made surprise visits in the past two times to capitol hill since december. anything is possible. of course, we're waiting for that possibility. two physical witnesses in the room. the first is former hunter business associate tony bobulinski and talk what about he perceives as influence peddling with the biden family. lev parnas went to prison for a brief time and do the same but focus on the trump family and trump administration. he is a democratic witness. devon archer a former biden business associate and close friend won't be there due to a scheduling conflict. former hunter business associate
6:04 am
jason galanis served a 14 year sentence for securities fraud will attend via zoom or virtually and answering questions live. the bottom line, this is a proxy war between team biden and team trump with democrats saying that donald trump is the most corrupt person and republicans saying joe biden is the most corrupt person. back to you. >> dana: thank you, david. >> bill: jason smith is with us, a republican out of missouri, chairman of the house ways and means committee. good morning. committee hopping today, right? you are on a different committee but they have adopted for you and your research today. here are the witnesses in the status. hunter biden declined. devon archer declined. tony bobulinski will be there. jason galanis will appear from jail. he has been in jail for seven years. lev parnas is a democratic witness. what are viewers and americans going to take away from this hearing today, sir? >> i think americans will see
6:05 am
the evidence that has been presented by both of those witnesses but also from other witnesses over the period of this investigation that show that president joe biden knew about his family's business peddling scheme where they received millions of dollars selling access to joe biden, which is the brand for millions dollars to the russians, chinese, romanians, ukrainians. on and on. but also to highlight all the different official activities that joe biden had with those business associates and with those phone calls, with over 327 different emails to hunter biden and hunter biden's business associates. >> dana: a question i have is what david just said, which is a lot of people watching if they aren't tuned into this every single day, it is almost as if every three weeks another one of these hearings pops up. it feels like the same ground is
6:06 am
plowed over and over again. jamie raskin is a democrat. he says that the democrats will have lev parnas there and he says who better than lev parnas himself, rudy giuliani's right hand man to smear joe biden to tell the story how this campaign of lies and slander works. what about what david suggested about this hearing being really a proxy war between the trump and biden campaigns? >> this hearing was an opportunity for hunter biden to come before this hearing with tony bobulinski, devon archer and mr. galanis and how they had inconsistent statements sworn under oath. of course, the biden family are the only ones saying opposite of what the i.r.s. whistleblower said and what devon archer said, what tony bobulinski said. this would have given hunter the opportunity -- he asked for a public hearing. he apparently is refusing to be there.
6:07 am
we don't really know. he loves to do a circus. we saw him do a press conference whenever we subpoenaed him the last time. maybe he will do another press conference. >> bill: we'll find out momentarily. question for you. the allegation is that the biden family took millions of dollars from the chinese and millions from the ukrainians and kazakhstan and wherever else. what did the chinese or kazakhstan, if it is them -- or ukrainians, what did they get for the services that were provided? >> i think every situation is different. a lot of it in regards to the chinese, we don't know the answers to. jim jordan has been very specific about ukraine and when you talk about burisma. you have president biden, when he was vice president, said that they were going to withhold over a billion dollars unless this prosecutor that was investigating burisma, a company that hunter biden paid millions
6:08 am
of dollars for setting on was fired. he was fired, money was released. we have numerous examples from the i.r.s. whistleblowers and witnesses here of where there was, in fact, joe biden's government action along with some very suspicious actions with hunter biden's business associates. >> dana: are you driving toward a vote on impeachment? >> i think we're following the facts like we've always done all along. i think it's pretty -- pretty up front that someone is lying. hunter biden, james biden or is it all the other witnesses? if you are lying before congress, you need to be held accountable. this is what they've been doing, protecting the family brand for decades. that's how they received millions of dollars of selling access to joe biden, who is the family brand. >> bill: sir, thank you. jason smith, i imagine will be at the heart of this coming up momentarily at 10:00 eastern time. thank you, sir.
6:09 am
a couple things here. hunter biden popped into our ears two months ago. he is on capitol hill. we're like what? they took the live shot and he was. maybe it happens today maybe it doesn't. abbe lowell calls it a carnival side show. republicans are trying to show there were no services rendered for the money that came in and a big part of where this hearing is intended to do. >> dana: at the end of the week congress will go in recess in two weeks. it feels like they keep doing the same hearing over and over again. at some point do you fish or cut bait and do something about a vote or not and move on to the general election? >> bill: more on that coming up this hour. stand by. >> i built a great company, one of the greatest companies anywhere in the country. it was a rigged trial by a crooked judge and crooked attorney general and we're
6:10 am
fighting it out. we have a lot of cash. election interference. 'll see how the courts rule on it. >> dana: former president trump has just five days to pay off the $454 million bond in his civil fraud case or face the prospect of having his new york properties seized by a.g. letitia james. lydia hu is here with more. >> according to lawyers for donald trump, the reason the former president was turned away from about 30 insurance companies for an appeal bond is collateral. lawyers say the insurance companies will not accept real estate. appeal bond expert say there is a possible second headwind. the chance that issuing the bond will create a negative reaction for this insurance company. that played out recently when insurance company chubb posted a $92 million appeal bond for donald trump in another case. the federal matter filed by carroll.
6:11 am
last week can chubb ceo had to defend the move writing this. i fully realize how polarizing this case and defendant are and how easy it is for chubb to just say no. we support the rule of law and our role in it. we considered this the right thing to do and frankly left our own personal feelings aside. one bond expert called the letter surprising and says it could illustrate the headline risk other companies now seek to avoid. watch. >> if there is already backlash supporting another bond or having that much of a credit risk for one individual is something they'll take into consideration. you know, it's not helping the case. it is not a positive. >> tis a clock ticks down there are a couple of developments we're watching. trump could raise capital for a bond. also possible the court could agree to a lesser amount for the bond. his lawyers have asked for that. we are watching for that
6:12 am
possibility. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: texas border security law is on again and off again. man, it is ping-pong back and forth between the courts shifting court rulings, adding to the chaos. talking to the sheriff of a border county in texas on the challenges that he faces. you saw that live shot in eagle pass yet again today. plus this coming up. >> 30%. 30% they went up. [shouting] >> dana: the gold star father that was arrested at the state of the union address. the attorney general is dropping charges. >> ice deportation officers tracking down convicted felons, fox news as the arrests went down. >> detainers aren't being honored. >> do you guys have any presence at the jail whatsoever? >> no.

6:18 am
>> up 30%, 30% they went up [shouting] >> the biggest increase in history. >> bill: the d.c. attorney general has dropped charges against that gold star father who was arrested and escorted out on the state of the union. he was arrested for disrupting congress during president biden's state of the union address. his son was one of 13 american service members killed during that chaotic exit out of afghanistan in 2021. he interechted biden's speech shouting abby gait and removed from the chamber. as of yesterday he said the charges still stand as he told reporters on the hill. >> dana: a good outcome. >> bill: the right outcome. >> dana: let him be a grieving
6:19 am
father and support him in what he needs. good decision there. a showdown between texas is turning into a see-saw. a law is put on hold hours after the supreme court allowed it to be enforced. what happened here? nate foye is live in eagle pass, texas. what do you have, nate? >> back and forth we go. almost immediately just hours after the supreme court allowed sb4 to go into effect a federal appeals court reversed that and right now it is still in limbo pending additional litigation. the fifth circuit court of appeals is set to hear oral arguments on this at 11:00 eastern. within the next two hours. the biden administration argues that the law interferes with federal authority over the border. congressman tony gonzalez tells fox the biden administration doesn't use the authority it already has. >> if the biden administration spent as much time trying to fix
6:20 am
the border as they are trying to block things from happening, americans would be a whole lot safer for that. i'm tired of the back and forth. >> so sb4 would make illegal border crossings a state crime. that means migrants found crossing the border illegally like you are watching right now on your screen could be arrested and sent back to mexico. the mexican government says it won't comply if the law does go into effect. ministry of foreign affairs says mexico categorically rejects any measure that allows state or local authorities to exercise immigration control and return nationals or foreigners to mexican territory. it will not accept migrants expelled by texas under any circumstances. the white house says the law will create more chaos at the border and pointing the finger at texas governor greg abbott. >> another example of what we have seen from the governor of
6:21 am
texas, governor abbott attempting to politicize what is happening at the border and what's happening with the immigration system. >> as for what comes next, the case could go back to the supreme court but the federal appeals court will go first and determine whether or not the law is constitutional. send it back to you. >> dana: keep us posted. hard to follow. >> bill: if you are confounded you aren't alone. a sheriff from texas is here. going back to mid-december the governor of texas signed sb4 into law. then early january the d.o.j. challenged it. late february district court stopped it from going into effect. yesterday the supreme court allowed it to go into effect and last night when everybody was sleeping a federal appeals court stepped in and said we'll hear arguments on that today. so sir, here is the question. the accusation is that you will
6:22 am
racial profile people in your state. how -- what was the plan to figure out who was illegal in texas if this law were enacted? >> more specifically i've seen a lot of rhetoric that will be targeting people from mexico and mexicans. your viewers need to know the u.s./mexico border is no longer that. it is the u.s. world border. people from all over the world are exploiting the border here to make entry into the united states illegally. having been a border patrol agent and having that training it is something that local and state law enforcement can be trained on and working with the federal government. not this administration. they refuse to work with governor abbott and local law enforcement on this issue. they can be trained and work as partners. >> bill: if i told you the law was legal right now, do you know where to go in your county to find illegals who have crossed
6:23 am
that border? >> 100%. we just hit another busy streak. yesterday we had five active groups. we had two texas department of public safety helicopters working with us in the county. as i mentioned to you before, bill, you know, the first year this administration took over we saw a 289% increase from fiscal year 2020. second year when compared to 2020 was a 418% increase in illegal alien apprehensions. gotaways mirror that as well. last year we saw a down trend still 188% increase more than we saw back in fiscal year 2020. >> bill: i don't know what you will get this year. you heard the reporting that mexico won't take them even if you ship them. what about that? >> you know, what we have is the delegated authority from immigration and nationality act. all local law enforcement would sign onto that. however, in order for them to sign on to it this
6:24 am
administration has to allow it. they have completely abandoned 287 delegated authority to local law enforcement. that gives us local law enforcement. we can turn them over to ice and put a detainer. i will do that with my local border patrol station and we do that often. i will tell you again it will take a new administration to change the policies that were taken away before we see some sort of change with that. >> bill: i will give you a chance to respond directly to this administration. here is the the statement from karine jean-pierre late last night. sb4 will not only make communities in texas less safe and burden law enforcement and sew chaos and confusion at our southern border, sb4 is another example of republican officials politicizing the border while blocking real solutions. the chaos and confusion stuck out at me. you've been dealing with a measure of chaos so far. your response to the white house. >> first that chaos and
6:25 am
confusion was created by this administration. back in 20 we ended the year with -- after the biden administration came over is when we saw the dismantling of the border within six months. they wiped out the trump policies that actually made this border more safe and secure. not just with president trump but also the prior four administrations as i have mentioned many times. i will tell you what we need more texas sheriffs to get involved as well. there was a quote by the sheriff out of high dal go county. he doesn't speak for me. i'm no longer part of that. texas sheriffs aren't doing enough. we have some doing some stuff but not enough. so we need to be more involved as sheriffs and need to support our governor and support michael banks our texas border czar and encourage the governor to keep his foot on the gas. >> bill: you can't see our screen now but we are watching more cross the river now as they
6:26 am
face the con sir -- the wire. >> dana: more with texas lieutenant governor dan patrick next hour. no doubt he has thoughts on all those changes. a former marine charged with killing a homeless man on the new york subway is about to appear in court. we'll monitor that for news. plus this. >> i was called a liar so many times. every stage of the process i was vindicated because everything was proven in court and all of the sources of my information were finally verified. >> dana: the attorney who blew the whistle on fani willis talking about her decision to come forward. where the case goes from here with jonathan turley. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. the newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value.

i'm sholeh, and i lost 75 pounds with golo. i went from a size 20 to a size 6. before golo, nothing seemed to work. i was exercising for over an hour every day. it was really discouraging. but golo's so easy, the weight just falls off. a test or approve a medication.

somebody would ask her something and she would just walk right past them. she didn't know they were talking to her. i just could not hear. i was hesitant to get the hearing aids because of my short hair. but nobody even sees them. our nearly invisible hearing aids are just one reason we've been the brand leader for over 75 years. when i finally could hear for the first time, i could hear everything. call miracle-ear at 1-800-234-7090 and schedule your free hearing evaluation today. >> dana: check it out. live look right here at capitol hill awaiting the arrival of tony bobulinski, hunter biden's former business partner. he will testify at today's oversight hearing on the biden family's alleged influence
6:32 am
peddling. hunter biden has said he will not attend today despite demanding a public hearing from republican lawmakers back in january. we'll bring you developments as we get them. >> bill: did you know there is a primary still going on? >> dana: i forgot it was voting today. >> bill: former president trump and former first lady who haven't been seen in some time after the death of her mother, both voting in palm beach yesterday. florida is one of the five states to hold primaries. we'll tell you what we're talking about here. some of the big states. at one time battlegrounds. not so much now in the trump era. you are talking about ohio down here with 79 delegates, florida 125, arizona 43. how did the vote go? how did it break down? we'll start in florida where the former president's home state right now more than 81%. nikki haley chipping in just shy of 14% there in florida. talk about arizona flying out to the southwest. another critical battleground now with arizona. donald trump decent showing
6:33 am
about 78%. nikki haley at 18. we'll see how this factors in over the next seven or eight months and counting. the home state of ohio is the buckeye state. this has been trump territory now going back to 2016. last night no disappointment for him. just shy of 80%. nikki haley 14%. a lot of establishment republicans were going for a senator in this race the primary race that i'll show you in a moment. in that senate race matt dolan was considering running well about moreno. moreno is an immigrant and got the backing of donald trump and j.d. vance. moreno won every county in ohio last night. that sets us up for a good match-up between moreno in november against sherrod brown the democrat who has held the seat for many cycles. the balance of the power in the u.s. senate.
6:34 am
democrats hold it 51-49. watch ohio, watch west virginia and montana to see whether or not republicans can flip those seats and gain control of the upper chamber as we say. dana, did you know there was a primary yesterday. >> dana: there was and there shall be more. really good round-up there. oaf owe is one to watch and you are the one to watch on ohio. >> bill: confirmed. >> i definitely think she could be disqualified. the new commission in georgia looking into this and they could disqualify her. facing re-election. two opponents now. other checks and balances and more information can come forward and we continue to investigate. >> dana: the attorney is leading an emergency appeal of the judge's ruling to keep willis on the georgia election interference case. defense argues wade's resignation is not enough. constitutional law attorney and fox news contributor jonathan
6:35 am
turley joins me now. one other part of her "fox & friends" interview that was interesting. it was about the money. >> there is a lot of different funds that the district attorney gets. they get federal and state funds. what you were asking about the forfeiture funds. when the government takes someone's funds or money. the district attorney is able to use them. the law has very specific requirements for how you can use those and so she is getting federal for tour money and tracked payments to him just from those funds. >> dana: jonathan turley, what do you think will happen next? does her point about the money focus the mind? a lot of these stories we have to remind ourselves follow the money. when you do, you get to a different conclusion. >> right, dana. the difference is, of course, the federal government doesn't operate entirely on a cash basis the way willis and wade did. there is a record that you can
6:36 am
follow and there are limits on how you use the funding coming from forfeiture and other sources. that may cause a problem for the office. but i also felt that the fox interview with merchant was quite interesting. she was treated shabby and unfair ways by willis's office. they attacked her and said she was unethical and had violated professional standards by raising this. the court ultimately vindicated her and found that wade had to go. if he didn't the whole office would go. so she prevailed and showed that she had a good faith basis as an attorney in raising these issues in her motion. it was an incredibly disgraceful attack by this office. what was disturbing is that willis had her office really resisting every effort to
6:37 am
disclose evidence that would ultimately lead the court to disqualify one of the two. now the question is, how can you do that and not disqualify them both? essentially willis ratified and incorporated the testimony of wade. if he was lying, so was she. >> dana: it is interesting to watch this because i imagine also that wade and fani probably don't talk that much anymore i would imagine. we don't know for sure. we can find out. want to ask you about this. the supreme court had a pretty big week of hearing a lot of cases. the ones that you care about a lot. free speech and you talk about it a lot. this is today texas councilwoman gonzalez was charged with violating a texas law and she says that wasn't right. listen to her here from yesterday. >> freedom of speech is a very important thing that we have in our country and we should be able to use it. >> dana: if you look across the board today, there was mirthy
6:38 am
versus missouri, the censorship case. can the government tell them to -- there are several others. what do you think the court is getting at here? >> there are indeed important first amendment cases here. someone associated with the free speech community. we're all on edge. it was chilling in the social media case to hear justices like jackson repeatedly say what's the problem with the government coerceing speech? why shouldn't they when there are troubling period that the government acting in the pandemic? many of us were agape at that because, you know, much of what the government did on censorship was wrong. as many things they were censoring by scientists who were fired and disciplined and barred from social media in some cases.
6:39 am
they were vindicated ultimately on things like the origin of the virus, showing that it is not just a possibility, many consider it the leading possibility. closing of schools. there were vindicated on many of those things. you had jackson saying i don't see why the government can't coerce social media. we're all very concerned where the government will land there. gonzalez, her case is hugely important because people are being targeted by a weaponized system these days and that case could put that front and center. >> dana: will these cases most likely get answers by the end of june? >> yes. one case you have to consider with gonzalez. what the new york government was doing was attacking the revenue sources of organizations like the nra that they didn't like telling them you better not be doing business with the nra. we've seen that out of the biden
6:40 am
administration and funding grants to create black lists targeting conservative libertarian sites that try to squeeze them and deny them funding. these cases have sweeping implication for our system -- political and legal system. >> dana: thank you. we appreciate it. have a good day. >> bill: you might remember the story of daniel penny, a u.s. marine who is accused in the choke hold death of a black homeless man on a new york city subway. he is back in court as of this moment for what they call a conference today. that's video of him entering the court. earlier this year a judge denied his request to dismiss the charges against him. he got a secondary manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide in may of 2023. this is the video. went on for several minutes. daniel penny was on board the subway car and the other
6:41 am
individual apparently was having one of his fits, which is not at all uncommon in new york these days. penny tried to subside things and stepped in and there was a tragic outcome and daniel penny is now before a judge yet again to see where this case goes. wanted to share that with you. okay. florida governor ron desantis vowing to send haitian migrants to martha's vineyard as the nation spirals more into crisis. >> there is such a blurred line between tenant and squatter rights. the family just went on vacation and came home and there is someone there claiming they have a lease. >> bill: you aren't going to believe this story. the squatter hunter going viral for helping californian's reclaim their homes. in new york, squatters change the locks on the house. you won't believe who was arrested in this case.

homes. >> dana: that man is a pro as removing squatters from homes. an epidemic across america including this house in new york city. the woman who owned the home reported squatters. she ended up in handcuffs. the hosts of the big money show on fox business are here to explain. taylor, to evict a squatter in new york city owners have to do all sorts of things. file a 10-day notice, wait for all this paperwork both parties have to attend a hearing. the actual homeowner who did the work, who put up the capital and wrote the checks are the ones on their back foot. >> we discussed this as a case study in the landlord law class last night. the professor came out and said the law as it stands. >> bill: you were in law class last night? >> yeah.
6:49 am
that shows what a big deal this is that we're having these conversations outside this newsroom, right? the law that's currently written says a homeowner has to peaceably reenter your home. they want to discourage homeowners from taking the law into their own hands. you don't change the locks or call the police or a camera crew. that was the way that she broke the law. i think this leads to a broader question that we need to change the law, brian. so we don't end up hurting the people who have the rights to begin with. >> bill: the burden is on the homeowner. this is nuts. >> we talked to a person in florida who got a bill passed bipartisan support that says you have to have a notarized lease or receipt of rent paid if you are a skwart and want to stay in the homes. if you don't have those things in florida the police can arrest you and take you out of the home. now you've clarified the law and the process. that won't happen in florida. it is still happening in new

york. >> dana: last month lawrence jones was in atlanta. how many squatters were in one area. >> how did you get in the house? >> they told the house, they gave us the key. >> you think you were scammed as well? >> they told us we were scammed. >> this is the problem where you want laws written we don't want to take the law into our own hands. it encourages us to go through the justice system and do the right thing and do the process. that process takes so long you have laws that encourage that when people really just want to get -- what i would maybe go out on a limb. the professional squatters learning how to play the law against you, you want to make it harder for them to be there but the laws as they are right now are making the burden on the homeowner. >> bill: do you think your professor is watching this right now? >> i don't know. i hope i got it right.

>> dana: thank you. >> she goes to law school so we don't have to. i'm not doing that. >> bill: i get it now. a story about ben and jerry's getting the boot. >> this is juicy. ben and jerry's is owned by a big conglomerate. as part of being owned by unilever. they are active and we won't sell ice cream on the west bank. they have a very activist investor saying we shouldn't do that trying to go after disney now. they are going to shrink their business and sell the ice cream business including ben and jerry's in order one, to get rid of a business not making them a lot of money but two, i suspect they would like to get rid of a business they don't want the reputational risk around. >> i'm also thinking from an economic cycle where you have conglomerates trading as a
6:52 am
discount. uni leaver have dove soap, ice cream, mayonnaise, they are all over the board versus slimming down and having individual businesses that are very in sync and tight. it's more the sum of the parts versus the big conglomerate that people want to start breaking up some of those big ones. >> bill: might be smart. you can kill two birds with one stone. slim your business, get rid of the risk, a win for the company. >> bill: the star witness in d.c. is missing for the moment. will hunter biden show up for the house hearing? we'll find out and put these questions to jason chaffetz on what we might expect coming up. for veteran homeowners, it's easy as 1-2-3. one: call newday and apply. two: take out an average of $70,000. three: pay off your credit cards
