>> unfortunately, it is abundantly clear that biden justice department is -- is covering for the white house is doing everything they can to impede the investigation into hunter biden, but more significantly into joe biden we have two irs whistle-blowers come forward accused attorney general merrick gar lands of lying under oath to congress that's a felony they've accused attorney general that department of justice of obstruction of justice one of the clearest examples is we have the text message that hunter biden sent to chinese communist official demanding millions of dollars and saying i'm sitting next to my father. the investigators naturally wanted to get gps data to confirm that hunter was next to joe biden and retaliation that hunter was threatening could happen the department of justice said no. you can't find out where hunter was and joe when he said that and david wise special prosecutor has been prosecuting this for five years at this point mr. wise is the slowest prosecutor on the face of the planet, and that's not an accident. he deliberately allowed statute of limitations to expire on several of the worst criminal offenses hunter biden committed in particular those dealing with millions of dollars from burisma i think the reason he allowed they will to expire is those dollars are directly tied to daddy to president joe biden. maria: unbelievable. do you have evidence that joe biden made policy decisions based on -- events that he was actually paid for for example, i have been questioning why this administration canceled the china initiative as soon as joe biden walked into the office, and i'm wondering if he was paid for that i know last chapter of the book is on china. is some of this -- wokeness, this marxism coming from china and what about that first question do you have evidence that he actually made policy decision based on something that he was paid for. >> on the china piece joe biden won't answer questions on that so we don't have information and david wise and department of justice seem desperately committed to avoiding any evidence being assembled. we do have evidence on ukraine and in particular that -- that joe biden demanded the firing of the prosecutor in ukraine that was investigating the corrupt oligarch to owns burisma and that he threatened to withhold mft, in fact, did withhold loan guarantees until they fired that prosecutor. so when it comes to bribery essence of bribery is quid pro quo this for that we know that occurred we know biden demandinged and received the firing of the prosecutor so that much is direct evidence. we also know that -- that hunter and joe they had over 20-shell companies and they had multiple bank accounts, they had multiple -- joe biden had multiple fake e-mail accounts, multiple burner phones none of that you do if you're not trying to hide something. at this point on its face this appears to be a serious and elaborate money laundering scheme on top of that we know that joe biden personally received at least 240,000 dollars they did write in the memo line loan repayment but no evidence, no evidence as to what loan they're talking about and it conveniently happened to come from sources overseas. maria: unbelievable. senator i have to ask you, your book is important because it explains the marxism threat we've got ripping through this country and explains how we got here. my question to you is how do we get out of it? what are the solutions here? >> well look that's really what the book is all about. the book explains how all of the major institutions in america have been ceased by the radical left it starts with universities. universities i call universities the wuhan lab of the woke virus. it is where the virus was created, it is where it mutated and where it spread each chapter of the book goes to different institution so goes from universities, to k-12 education and from there to journalism there to government and from there to big business, from there to big tech, from there to entertainment, to hollywood, movie tv, music sports from there to science, and the corruption and politicization of science and ends as you know with china and china is a central intertwined with this and this book number one explains how and why the radical left seeing these institutionings. i think a lot of americans are wondering, how the heck did this happen this is when the book explains they did it from inside and critically book does exactly what you ask. maria in each chapter it ends with how we fight back and lays out specific strategies how to take the institutions back. for example k-12 education, k-12 education i talk about corruption we're seeing in our public schools but i also talk about what happened in virginia where a teenage girl tragically was sexually assaulted by a boy wearing skirt in girl's restroom and school covered it up and deny it happened and arrested father of the victim not the predator. but that sparked as you know moms across virginia getting furious and not only winning school board elections i'm making -- endorsing in school board elections all across texas and parents are taking school boards back because what we need is transparency we need sunlight, and then we need action and so that's one of the strategies in terms of taking k-12 back. maria: this war on israel has sparked outrage as well as anti-semitism across our country. i want to get your reaction to this. [chanting] >> this is the new york city police department. you are unlawfully in the roadway and obstructioning traffic. >> we understand tiktok is part of the issue and, of course, jews everywhere are aphrase for they lives once again senator, how would you assess the white house's response and what can you do about it as an elected official? >> listen unfortunately white house response has been terrible and whowtion and state department have been undermining israel and urging israel literally from within minutes of when this horrific attack began on october 7th. the biden white house has been telling israel do not retaliate cease-fire, stop do not kill the terrorists. my view is real simple, israel is correct, absolutely justified in eliminating hamas and killing the terrorists. and the biden administration needs to stop giving billions of dollars to terrorist who want to murder us. now, what we're seeing here at home maria, is heartbreaking. we're seeing this anti-semitism on college campuses and i got to say it is a manifestation of exactly what my new book unwoke is all about. because it explains cultural marxism karl marx views world as inevitable conflict between oppressors and victims and he put it in socioeconomic terms. the owners of the capitol and working men and women and the solution marx is to throw overso-called oppressors and use government to redistrict wealth well i describe in the book unwoke how the marxist and 60s and 70s began infiltrating universities it began mutating, and i got to say there are a lot of just -- plain jane liberals wondering why is the left right now between the squad and universities so viciously anti-semitic and the reason is -- for the radical left they have decided that jews are the oppressors, and palestinians are the victims which is why they support the violent revolution of the victims even though look hamas -- targeted civilians raped and murdered women and children and deliberately slaughtered infants. maria: senator thank you for your work we'll be watching that, of course, we're all wondering the same thing senator ted cruz joining us in texas. thank you sir now new developments around war in israel as -- for the first time in 11 years, the president of iran visits saudi arabia. meeting with saudi president as fighting in israel intensifies. i want to bring in retired u.s. army general anthony tata let me say off the bat thank you for your service to our great country thank you to all of the courageous men and women out there who have served this nation on this veteran's weekend sir thank you for being here. >> thank you maria. maria: what is your reaction to the iranian leader meeting with saudi crown prince muhammad and also this as china is leader xi jinping gets set to come to america this week? >> well, maria i think the iranian leader and mbs meeting is what a lot of this is all about. the abraham accords that president trump began normalization of relations between israel and many muslim nations, iran had to stop that because it interrupted their intent to discontent throughout the middle east, and as far as china's role 70% of the oil that iran produces goes to china and that's, you know, that's some $25 billion in oil revenue that iran is getting, and they're sending iran is 150 to 300 million a year directly to hamas and other terrorist regimes in the area. hezbollah this year militia groups, rebels and this is disrupting and biden administration did a good job themselves. maria: yeah i was under impression that when joe biden took office, you weren't allowed to say the words abraham accords which, of course, the architect of them is secretary michael pompeo. but ipts i want to get your take on war in israel this morning general. do you believe do you have conviction that israel can wipe out hamas and how worried are you about hezbollah increasing its efforts and what about the u.s.? readiness right now? well three dichght issues. i believe the idf can prosecute this war even with the so-called pauses what they're doing is localized we're not going to fight here but open up path for civilians to move. i think that's a good move. meanwhile they're keeping pressure on, you know, gaza city and other areas you know momentum has a quality all of its own and it forces hamas to communicate forces them to move and intelligence systems then easily pick them up and then you can attack them and create a cycle of momentum and attack and victory up in the north hezbollah, i believe i continue to believe that they're fixing element there. their intent to fix forces to prevent israel from repositioning forces from north and then united states, you know, right now readiness we do have recruiting was. we have morale issues but, you know,d.o.d. leadership particularly at the company grade and fuel grade level they're good people trying to do the right thing for america, and we've got now, you know, three carrier strike groups in the region that are a real pronouncement of u.s. real estate, you know, in that general vicinity. maria: obviously, none of oured a very adversaries tried this president trump abraham accord and policy towards china was something that -- deterred them. why would you you said that wasd what happened to change things under joe biden? >> well, and i would add in there russia versus ukraine. remember, russia took crimea under obama and then did nothing under trump, and then certainly i believe to answer your question directly afghanistan debacle weakness, indecision really sent a strong signal around the world that america was at least from a foreign policy perspective in decline after nations were going to act now was then and time to act so russia began moving it toward border of ukraine and iran the 6 billion, it's unbelievable we're not enforcing sanctions and you know they're sympathizers if not spies from the state of iran an they accept this. they know this. they keep their clearances to secretary of defense highest clearance in the country and xi is known to be communicating with, you know, the tehran. so yeah it's beyond me this infatuation that biden administration has with iran. maria: and they've been appeasing iran since day one. you make a great point about the d.o.d. staffers they did not want the outsider president president trump to make any changes. thank you very much for being here retired u.s. army we appreciate your insights this morning. up next crime is up, my double digits over a two-year period in new york city while anti-semitic offenses up by triple digits year over year despite these alarming statistics, new york attorney general letitia james seems to be focused only on donald j. trump and what critics say are dubious charges. >> we heard from donald trump in our case against him, other defendant and the trump organization. he rambled -- you hear hurled insults, but we expected that. at the end of the day, the documentary evidence demonstrated that, in fact, he falsely inflated his assets to enrich himself and his family. maria: trump attorney here in studio with reaction and response. stay with us. have fun, sis! ♪ can't stop adding stuff to your cart?

>> yes. maria: when will you today? >> very soon. maria: and change things from day one you start over again. >> the problem is with all of these things filing motion for recusal is this judge has to be the one that decides is he going to recuse himself. does he feel that there was a mistrial? it is a bench trial we have one judge, and it is the same judge that issued the gag order that has to make those determinations at this poangt i don't have any reason to believe he shouldn't after what we've -- we've learned if it is true. but i will tell you that it's concerning when he is the arbiter of these issues. maria: accusations that he overvalued assets what kind of third party people did you have or did donald trump have in terms of doing their own evaluation because, i mean, when you -- go to get deals you have to get auditors to okay the valuations you put in did he have -- >> he had accounting firm put together what's a compilation the compilation they were involved with there all of the time communicating with the trump organization, they put their stamp of approval on it. and then there was this disclaimer that everybody always puts on says hey do your own work. the disclaimer is very important. remember, there was nobody harmed. these are sophisticated lenders deutsche bank major, major establishments, with all kinds of regulations. kyc, these people take somebody's numbers they don't use them they do their own due diligence and they weren't harmed but paid on time they were paid with interest they made money but letitia james putting her nose into private companies and private individuals work which is not what is meant to happen and the law that she's using is a consumer fraud law. so that she can establish some way to have control to not have a jury to do certain things in this case that are nonsensical and shouldn't be happening and weave been fighting it all along the way the problem we have is judge is the one that's going make those decisions and he's proven himself to be quite motivated by the other side. maria: you think he's surprised surprised -- compromised as well? >> the president's children have testified ivanka eric trump as well don jr. speaking again tomorrow what have they been asking kids and tell me how they fit into all of this? >> they don't what have they been asking is simple they'll ask the kids did you give a value to somebody did you do something and everybody said resoundingly no. kids were not involved. i believe that when they crafted this complaint, they looked at their titlings and they looked at frankly pr, and if the patch in the kids is more days that letitia james can speak and more press for her and more impact radical left liberals don't care about facts or law and care about making statementses and kids did nothing wrong and ivanka is out of the case. boys should not be in the case their testimony was direct and they want to make it as if there was a corruption and conspiracy. there was none. there was accounting firm there were lawyers, and there was sophisticated lenders that all did their job, and -- nobody got harmed. but ms. james campaigned on this remember before she was attorney general that's how she got the attorney general role campaigned on trump and had to follow through and she should dismiss this case it is making her look bad frankly and city needs her attention elsewhere. maria: alina we're waiting and watching for mistrial likely today thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> alina habba quick break and then a doj coverup hunter biden began back in 2018 but despite bank records, suspicious activity reports and whistle-blower testimony, alleging bribery and influence peddling no charges have ever been materialized over hunter's foreign business deals. house judiciary congressman jim jordan on david wise last week and where that investigation is going. stay with us. maria: welcome back special council david wise testified in front of the house judiciary committee on thursday. regarding his investigation into hunter biden it began in 2018, in which he said he was not blocked or prevented from pursuing charges against first son. wise, however, testified that he initially was not granted special council status by the justice department despite his request but did not see it as obstruction he said. according to a tripght of his testimony reviewed by fox news digital wise said in part, quote, you want me to say it is a denial but it is not. not when i know that weeks later i was specifically told you can proceed. joining me right now on sunday morning future exclusive is chairman of the house judiciary committee congressman jim jordan mr. chairman thanks very much for being here today. >> you bet good to be with you. maria: what did you learn from david wise that we immediate to better understand? >> most certainly was a denial because he asked for spring of 2022 and he wasn't given it and he asked for timing i think is important maria because he asked before it before he went to district of columbia to ask about partnering with the district of columbia u.s. attorney. and i asked him specifically i said when you asked to partner with a u.s. attorney he said partner in prosecuting case so he asked district of columbia can you partner to president in district of columbia guess what year and charge was going to be that was going to be the tax years that dealt with the burisma income and u.s. attorney told him no and at the same time he asked department of justice turns him down that to me is hugely significant because burisma years all of that income coming into hunter biden that statute of limitation let it expire i think it expires because if they go there that takes them right back to the white house right back to joe biden. maria: i want to get your take on where we are in this. i know that you and your colleagues sent out subpoenas this past week. around this story for hunter biden -- other family members. tell us where that fits in in terms of the impeachment inquiry. >> well, overall understand that i think that the large context is this is -- a tale is old as time you have a politician who takes certain actions that benefit his family financially. and then there's an attempt to sweep it all under rug what we're investigating on judiciary how david wise handled this investigation and we know he tried because of two brave whistle-blowers who came forward and gave their testimony. which by the way maria, that testimony has stood up under cross-examination from the democrats in oversight committee every witness we've deposed confirmed what gary and mr. ziglar told us but then we have additional subpoenas that went out this past week to hunter biden to james biden to eric, i want to talk to kevin morris i want to talk to the guy who paid hunter biden taxings come out of nowhere paid all of this tax burden that hunter biden had i think there's a number of people we immediate to talk to and we'll continue to do that and as we build this case, as we look at this case and gather facts. >> if the doj has been covering all of this up for so long, then why wouldn't they cover up the subpoenas? i mean will they get in the way of those people actually coming forth and talking with you on the record? >> no i don't think so. i mean, everyone else is come forward. we've now judiciary committee several those involved in the investigation of hunter biden i think they'll come forward and we will get that information. so i do even abby expects hunter biden to come tell the stories that's words that hunter biden lawyer used so i believe they'll come forward and gather that information. i think that the matter is the burisma income understand four central facts hunter biden put on board of burisma fact number two not qualified to be on board and fact number three asked by executives to weigh in with d.c. to relieve the pressure that the burisma this ukrainian energy company is under. five days after that, joe biden goes to ukraine and starts to process to fire the prosecutor and he uses our tax dollars, holdings up american tax dollars that was already approved to go to ukraine and holds it up to accomplish that that i think is the central focus and then -- you have the investigation where they're trying to sweep it under the rug they let the statute of limitations expire for very tax years that deal with burisma income that's coming in to not get back in the issue and that benefit his family because he was making money, off the brand as devin archer hunter biden business partner told us the brand is what they were selling. maria: unbelievable how long will it take? tell what you say your expectations are in term it is of this investigation and will it lead to an impeachment of joe biden? >> that's driven by the facts i believe we will get the depositions and interviews done in this calendar year and then make a decision early next year whether there are evidence wants going to articles of impeachment and moving to that that stage of the investigation. but i think this year, november, december we will depose all of the people we still need to depose, and then we can make a decision. maria: i'm most concerned i think over biden's handling of china. given china's goal of overtaking the united states is number one superpower and is he compromised in terms of making right decisions for america national security? based on money he's and from chinese communist party members. >> well, we'll see -- i mean look, that cfc this company that's sent money and then that's where this $40,000 check came from digging into all of that as well. again, we're, we have a constitutional duty to do oversight in impeachment inquiry phase of oversight duty and drin by the facts evidence not by the pleks like the democrats are when they attack president trump nots just with their impeachment four yearing ago but you talk about one in new york which is all driven by politics and out to get president trump. we're driven by facts we're driven by evidence and we will continue to operate in that fashion. maria: timing is important we have an election next year. president trump is facing four indictments. and you've got this dereliction of duty. >> yeah. it's -- look, i think the best line i think was what president trump said earlier with that clip on he said they come after him because he's fighting for us that is true that's what the swamp does they're going after president trump because he kept his word and fighting for us. maria: marjorie taylor green will go against alejandro mayorkas what happens after -7s million people have come into america apprehended on his watchesome -- watch? >> we'll see what happens when that resolution comes up i'm not sure if it is table or passes or whatever i would support it. i think this guy has done a pathetic job and millions, we asked this question in a hear of millions how many have went through the adjudication process and only 6,000 people have been actually removed that's how bad it was and this is the same guy who when he was asked how many people have come across here on the terrorist watch list, he said well i don't know. i'll have to get back with you a year ago. that was his response. so it's been terrible we know the situation. we'll see what happens with the resolution on tuesday. maria: two years later we're worried about another terrorist attack in this country. mr. chairman we'll be watching your work thanks very much. >> you bet thanks maria. maria: house judiciary committee jim jordan why it matters president biden set to meet with xi jinping in san francisco this week over questions whether compromised given millions of dollars house republicans see he and his family accepted personally from china and fox news contributor miranda devine here on how deep business ties are between the biden family and ccp, next. it's easy to get lost in investment research. introducing j.p. morgan personal advisors. hey david. connect with an advisor to create your personalized plan. let's find the right investments for your goals okay, great. j.p. morgan wealth management. bass pro shops and cabela's stands tall in our unwavering commitment to honoring our heroes. we extend our gratitude... beyond words... by proudly offering a legendary salute discount to those who protect our freedoms. our dedication to those who selflessly serve us runs deep within our dna. it's not just a discount... it's a commitment to making a difference. because every day is a chance for us to say thank you. bass pro shops and cabela's... your adventure starts here. we all know that words have power. they set things in motion and make us happy or sad. but there's one word that stands out, because when people say it, lives are changed. it's not a big word. it's itsy bitsy. it's only three little letters. but when you say it, the life of a kid like me can be changed. so what is this special word?

>> look it's both of it. but also it's the fact that there are a lot of people who are compromised by the fact that they've covered up for the biden family for joe and hunter and jim for so long. so many people in the doj in the fbi in the cia, and throughout joe's vice presidency, it was evident and we now know more than 2 dozen complaipts came from the doj from all sorts of sources about joe biden's potential corruption. and they were all ignored and buried and suppressed, and, of course, we know that the doj allowed the most serious charges against hunter biden to expire the statute of limitations to expire and so this is just a patent of a lot of people in a lot of places are in a lot of trouble if we would pin them down all go to jail. maria: very good point stay with us more from miranda devine after this.
