logs. >> we need to have a clear presentation of these records, how many times did hunter biden go to the white house, what did he talk to his father about? is it about his compromise with china, the pay-outs they were getting? >> not including the visit from family members is a departure from previous add min administration. this is all information relevant to the ongoing investigation into hunter biden. >> julie: hits keep on coming. thank you. the department of justice in front and center in all of this and people are starting to ask questions. some op-eds writing the attorney general versus whistleblowers again. throw hunter biden's plea deal in the crash. the i.r.s. whistleblowers say justice sabotaged the investigation and how can the agreement stand? you can bet republicans are going hard for answers. attorney general merrick garland
gross deviation from what a reasonable person would do. julie, i don't think they will be able to prove that, either. he was in there trying to protect human beings. that is the bottom line here. >> julie: he was originally there just to commute. he was the one brave person in the car to actually stand up for others, many people don't do the same and why there are so many deaths in our subways because of stabbings and pushed into trains, etc. not a safe place. brian claypool. thank you for talking to us. we appreciate it. >> thank you, julie. >> julie: he oversees commercial airlines. that's what his job title says, right? transportation secretary, right? pete buttigieg is more of a private jet kind of guy. republicans say it is fleecing the taxpayers. the white house trying to pull people's view of biden's economy out of the toilet. >> here to talk with you about bidenomics. >> bidenomics. growing the middle class in this
the economy. nearly 50% say they are hurting it. david avella is the gopac chairman and marie harf state department spokeswoman. hard to watch a news conference from the white house saying it is the greatest growing numbers ever. covid was at the bottom. there is nowhere else to go but up. david, never mind the polls. forget them. all you need to do is look in your wallet. the high costs of everything from groceries and on, high inflation, interest rates, inflation says it all. painting a rosey picture of this economy is like putting lipstick on a pig. >> it seems like we're on message reset ten with the biden administration how their economic policies are helping. reality is six in ten americans are living paycheck to paycheck. it is why president biden's approval rating on the economy is one of the lowest across his administration. you have a message that comes
manipulated the investigation into hunter biden. what do you think the reason there was? obviously to spare him from more serious charges than the ones which he has not pleaded guilty to. in other words he got off easy and the justice department helped him. the claims contradict attorney general garland's congress. remember he promised there wouldn't be interference of any political or improper kind in the investigation? does he get impeached? he lied to congress, did he not? >> we have to find out if he actually lied to congress. it sounds like he did. we're starting to see a pattern here, right? we have whistleblowers coming forward constantly claiming that what merrick garland and what this administration has been claiming is just not true. he lied about whether or not they were going to prosecute the protestors who were threatening conservative supreme court justices and lied about how they were labeling parents at the school board meetings at domestic terrorists. these are a series of events
