Washington. Bill nice to see you, im Bill Hemmer Live in new york. John and sandra have this off, the last day of july. Former burisma board member finally appearing, comes as the doj dismisses speculation they were trying to intimidate archer by requesting a judge over the weekend to begin the problem of imprisoning archer on an unrelated fraud conviction. House Judiciary Committee jim jordan calling archers interview productive today. Mr. Jordan, what did devon say . It was very productive, im going to wait until the end result, i have to run to another appointment here. Anything you can share with us . Very productive. Gillian Fox Team Coverage begins now, Jonathan Turley is a short time away, and fox business Hillary Vaughn kicks us off live from capitol hill. Whats the latest you are hearing from sources about the testimony . Hi, gillian. We are hearing they are getting some new information from this interview with hunters exBusiness Partner devon archer, another piece of the puzzle that Republicans Hope provides a clearer picture of whether the president was or was not involved in his son hunters Business Deals. Today lawmakers say devon archer told them President Biden did end up on speaker Phone A Number of times while hunter was at dinner with Business Associates, but democrats say thats what any dad would do. The hunter would put his father on Speaker Phone with whomever was at dinner and there was no indication that he had any idea who was at dinner with them. It was just say hello, im at dinner here, and there was nothing related to his Business Dealings. Its kind of a preposterous premise to think that a father should not say hello to people that the son is at dinner with. As the house weighs moving forward with an Impeachment Inquiry, republicans say they have a duty not to turn a blind eye. Congressman mike johnson saying an impeachment might be on the table but first launching an Impeachment Investigation is important, more subpoena and discovery power but democrats say republicans are prying into the president s sons business. I think a lot of my colleagues need to go back to school and maybe go into the work of being detectives because seemingly thats what they want to do right now is Play Detective and weaponize the government. Democrats insist its a waste of time, you heard earlier jim jordan popping out of the interview saying they have learned new information and so far its been very productive. Gillian. Gillian keep us posted for the rest of the hour. Thank you. Bill from the hill to david spunt, more on the hunter probe and what do republicans have, david, as leverage to get cooperation. Sure, i didnt mean to can you you off. You heard Hillary Vaughn mention the i word, impeachment, capitol hill, but there is a difference between that and a vote, and one republican is warning using the word impeachment carefully. Watch. If we are not allowed to get all the information of doj, fbi and irs continue to stone wall the investigation, that is a tool at the speakers fingertips, much different than an impeachment vote. We have to be better than the left, better than nancy pelosi who politicized impeachment. I do not want to see us do that. We have to be deliberative, have to be serious, and we have to show an overwhelming abundance of evidence for this thing doesnt move forward. Bill, regarding this hunter biden investigation, democrats are taking a completely different viewpoint of the entire thing. Watch this. I think this is a witch hunt. If, you know, hunter biden has broken the law he should be held accountable for it. I dont think hes being treated any differently than anyone else who has been accused of the crimes hes been accused of. Hes had a lot of trouble in his life and joe biden has been open about it and shown as any caring father would a lot of concern to help hunter biden recover. From a Justice Department perspective, expect Hunter Bidens legal team to be at it again this week, working with the doj, specifically the u. S. Attorneys office in delaware on a revised plea deal, or one that provides more information for mary ellen noreika, refused to be a rubber stamp last week. You heard the senator from connecticut say its a typical case, treated like anyone else. Legal experts on both sides of the aisle this was an extraordinary case, hunter biden was not treated like anybody else. Will the judge noreika approve a revised plea deal. Bill take two on that one, see how it goes. Thank you. Gillian Jonathan Turley, George WashingtonUniversity Law professor and fox news contributor. So we just heard from members out of this meeting on a break, particularly congressman goldman. He said in one breath that there is still no connection in this testimony between hunter biden and his father when it comes to foreign business. But he also just interestingly, you heard him there say that archer confirmed that hunter biden will put his dad on Speaker Phone in these meetings and he would say stuff to whoever was assembled. Now, im not sure how the best way to kind of like break this down with you is, but i got to imagine that a jury would have strong feelings about this if this were to make it into a court. Come on, gillian. Goldman is right. You know, that when my children engage in multimillion dollar Influence Peddling in Foreign Countries i often do what any father would do and ask to be put on Speaker Phone at their dinners. Its hard, one of them just graduated high school, so shes still working her way up. But you know gillian good for her. Yes, thank you, im looking forward to that romanian connection she can lay out. But you know, its really amazing to watch the extent in which people like Representative Goldman will refuse to recognize any evidence. You could have a picture of President Biden actually burying mountains of gold and they would say he was simply doing gardening. So you know, we have to get beyond that and just keep our eye on what the evidence is, and the evidence is increasingly defensemening. Goldman himself tripped the wire when he tried to question whistleblowers in the last hearing and he ended up demolishing the president s defense. Goldman got the whistleblowers to say yeah, the president did speak to his son about his Business Dealings. But we now have numerous, not just some dinner put on a Speaker Phone, we have numerous witnesses and events where then vice President Biden and now President Biden was involved. And you have witnesses, like tony who said he sat down to discuss deals with joe biden. And so its we are getting past the point of denyability. But if hes testified as we have heard that joe biden was on numerous calls with Business Associates, its hard to look at what the president said and not say that hes been lying to the American People for years. Gillian do you think obviously this would have to play out again in a court of law, but if what rep goldman is saying is in fact the truth, the reality, and what archer is saying is the reality, and biden was put on Speaker Phone and spoke to hunters Business Associates many times, how does that hold up under legal scrutiny . Is that something that you think is covered or do you think that is something that would count as foreign Influence Peddling . Well theres no question there was Influence Peddling here and what the democrats consistently ignore as with much of the media is that joe biden was the subject of the Influence Peddling. So, yes, the money went through hunter, but he was the object of the Influence Peddling, and the extent he knew about these deals he was certainly involved. And you have these allegations that money was transferred through a really amazing labyrinth of accounts to hide these transfers to the biden family. But the lies about saying i had no knowledge, no involvement with these foreign dealings become more serious when one asks why was he lying. Why did the president lie during the president ial campaign, why did he lie as president to say he had no knowledge of the dealings when he is repeatedly connected to dinners and events. Even an audio tape of him telling his son hes in the clear on these dealings. I mean, at some point the American People will gradually resent being played for chums. Gillian and ask you what happened in a miami courtroom, where a long time maralago Maintenance Worker appeared, hes been charged along with the former president in the conspiracy to destroy evidence, how do you think it will impact the president s case . Whats interesting about the charges, not dependent on trumps lawyers. One of the concerns raised about the original indictment, many charges were founded in statements by his lawyers and that could end up producing serious Appellate Problems for the department of justice. This could be a sort of insurance run approach as they have in baseball, they are trying to get some counts that are not dependent on those lawyers, and not necessarily on the original search. These counts tend to be the crimes they prefer, lying to the government, obstruction. And the question is can they close this loop. They are saying that these individuals were told by the former president that he would like to have these tapes destroyed. And there are other witnesses who have claimed the president praised Hillary Clintons lawyers and staff for deleting all these Tens Of Thousands of emails. All of that has to be proven in a court of law. It doesnt make it true. But is it damaging . Of course its damaging. Gillian jonathan, we have to leave it there. Thanks as always for taking time with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Bill we have a developing story out of haiti, an american nurse and her young daughter were kidnapped. The same day the State Department told all u. S. Citizens to leave that island country. Well bring you the latest on this developing situation on this monday afternoon, gillian. Gillian also this.

Gillian the State Department weighed in on reports an american nurse and her young daughter have been kidnapped in haiti. Listen. We are aware of the reports that two u. S. Citizens were kidnapped in haiti. Obviously the safety and security of american citizens overseas is our highest priority. We are in regular contact with the haitian authorities and will work with them and the u. S. Government and agency partners. Because its an ongoing Law Enforcement investigation theres not any more detail i can offer. Gillian the kidnapping happened on the same day the state Department Urged all americans to flee haiti immediately. The incident highlighting the prevalence of Gang Violence on the caribbean island. Molly line has the breaking details. What are you learning this how . This Christian Humanitarian Organization this nurse was from New Hampshire worked for is asking for prayers, and they are saying alix dorsainvil, the wife of el roi haiti director and their child were kidnapped from the campus near portauprince. A video on el rois website highlights her contributions. My name is alix, a nurse from New Hampshire. El roi reports the team is working to secure the mother and childs Safe Return Writing Alix is a deeply compassionate and loving person. Considers haiti her home and the haitian friends and family. She has worked tirelessly as is he serves the people of haiti in the name of jesus. Before that, she was a student at Weston College in massachusetts. An front line hello as nurses are, and at this time we are frightened for her, concerned for her and pray for her and her family and the safe return and the return of her child. On the very Day Dorsainvil was taken the u. S. State department issued a do not travel for haiti, also ordering nonenergy Government Employees to leave the country. State Department Officials offered very little detail to what they know about the potential kidnapping as to whether or not who may be holding this mother and child, and as to whether or not any ransom has been requested. Gillian. Gillian molly line in boston for us, thank you. Bill. So at the end of the day, Economic Policy is really not even as much about dollars and cents. Obviously it is, but the bigger question is what kind of a country do we want to have, and i want a country where americans that work hard, americans that get the most out of their god given ability, are able to get ahead in this country, they are able to raise a family, and they are able to lead fulfilling and Productive Lives and if we cant get that right, we are not going to succeed as a country. Bill he is busy on the trail ahead of the debate, new polling suggesting that desantis and several other republican hopefuls have a lot of catching up to do. The a poll shows donald trump with 54 lead among republican candidates. Desantis followed at 17 , no one else had more than 5 support in the survey. Fox news contributor and Spectator Editor at large, ben, good to have you in on a monday afternoon. A lot with the polling in a second, here is desantiss economic plan on screen, breaking up with china, cutting red tape, securing energy independence, ending esg, about ten of them, secure the border, reform the fed, oppose bailouts and fight federal spending. All the categories, ben, should play well in a republican primary, should they not . Well, they absolutely should, bill. But i think as youve said with that poll, you know, we are looking at a situation right now where ron desantis is probably the only person who has any hope of being the president ial nominee other than donald trump, and yet he has been forced into a situation here, i think, where he cant really seal the deal with the Republican Voters who he needs to come over to his side. And its not just a matter of sort of having a number of other candidates in the race who are getting 3 , 4 , that kind of thing. Its really just that there is so much investment in donald trump by Republican Voters at this point that i think we have to say that in all likelihood, all roads lead to him, hes likely to be the nominee, that there is really not a situation where any of these legal challenges hes facing have damaged him enough to a point where republicans are going to peel off away from him. And the problem for republicans, they are staring down a difficult path when it comes to all the other aspects of this, the independent voters and those who are solidly against the former pre
