This is the story right now. My exclusive oneonone with independent president ial candidate, r. F. K. Jr. We sat down yesterday in East Palestine, ohio. Very interesting conversation with people from that town and with him as well. Well have our wideranging sitdown one day after democrats in michigan warned President Biden that they are open to other options come november. I think he needs to show americans that, that he a lot of these decisions are the product of complex and nuance thought. I do not think that that is happening now. Martha talking about the president s ability to lead and do the job for another four years. But first, hunter biden defiant, but answering questions on the hill right now as we speak. House republicans continue their Impeachment Inquiry in to the president. Hunting telling republicans i did not involve my father in the business. You do not have evidence to support the maga conspiracies about my father because there isnt any, says hunter biden. Earlier this month, his former Business Partner told congress that joe biden was the brand being sold by the biden family. In all of these international venues. Democrats calling the ongoing deposition a feckless price. Watch. What we saw is a rather embarrassing spectacle where the republicans continued to belabor completely trivial points. What we just witnessed over the last hour was i think a deep sea fishing expedition. The republican case has fallen apart. One of their witnesses has been indicted for working with russian tell. Another witness has been indicted for working with chinese intelligence. Another witness is serving a 14year felony sentence. This is fourth and 20 on their own ten. They dont have patrick mahomes. Martha chip roy is participating in hunters deposition today. Hes asked questions as a member of the house judiciary committee. Thanks for joining us today. Great to be on, martha. Martha what is your response to your democratic colleagues that just say this whole thing has completely fallen apart, its an embarrassment for republicans that are pressing this investigation. They wont find anything. Well, this is more of the same from my democratic colleagues. Theyre all trying to hide their radical agenda and trying to dismiss what were seeing in front of us. Theres something in the law as you know, the thing speaks for itself. They want to dismiss all of these things by talking about the witnesses and how they want to disparage them. They dont want to talk about the facts. That nothing we learned today changed questions about the exact Dollar Amount of an expensive sports car going in to Hunter Bidens account. The reality that when it says the big guy, who are they talking about. Theres no good answers to questions like who is the big guy. Theres no good answers to why joe biden was president when he was having these Business Dealings with folks. Theres no response when he was pressed on What In The World was he actually delivering and making all of this money in the tune of millions of dollars going to the biden family from overseas interests, foreign adversaries. My colleagues are breaking house rules. Not just rules that we set up for this deposition. United states house of representatives rules by getting in to the specifics and talking about questions during the deposition. Im going to try to adhere to the house rules and not get in specific but ill speak in broad terms. We didnt learn anything today that does not underscore the serious concerns that we can all see at the evidence sitting in front of us. You can try to dismiss a witness but you cant dismiss when you have text talking about 10 for the big guy, talking about the real concerns that we see in the form of where those dollars are flowing. Can you answer given what you just said, maybe not, but did he say who the big guy is . What is interesting im trying to be careful. While my colleagues violate the rules, im trying to adhere to them. In broad terps, theres actual text there that says 10 to the big guy. Well, i dont know, that could be somebody in the zip code of speculation. Something wanted it 10 . The next defense was, wait a minute. Hes no longer a Public Servant at 48 years. Hes private sector joe biden. Which is it . Without getting into the details, which is it . You know who it is or you dont . We know who it is. Everybody know whose it was. Everybody gets that of course he was selling the brand. You cant hide behind the fact that you had addictions, which god bless him, we hope hes clean and sober but you cant hide behind that and obfuscate what you were doing under the infl influence. Martha i dont think anybody begrudges his personal situation or his addiction. The relevancy is doing these deals with china and ukraine while youre under that situation personally and how they might use that against you. Obviously youd have to dig and come up with the goods on whether or not there was any quid pro quo or they held anything over his head because of that situation. We dont know whether any of that will come out. At one point apparently, he suggested that Jared Kushner should be investigated because of the deal that he did with the saudis. What did you think about that . Well, he certainly is wellwithin his rights to raise whatever he wants to raise. That may have come up. Again, im trying to be careful here. The reality is, what you heard in response from my republican colleagues in broad terms, follow the truth wherever it may lead. Were concerned about any Business Dealings that might raise questions of foreign adversaries having some influence that is improper. The fact is, thats an irrelevant fact. You cant say hey, i didnt know i might be sending something about a text saying my father is next to me. Im not sure about that. Im under the influence. He tried to say, you cant say that in the one hand and then not say, well, how did you know he wasnt sitting next to you . If you cant remember sending the text and then you said he wasnt sitting next how, how do you know . This is what you see. Martha on the one hand, a super astute business man that had lots of knowledge that he could sell overseas or in such a fog that he cant remember whether or not his father was next to him. So i dont know if both of those things can be true. Chip roy, congressman, thanks very much for you insight in to what is going on in there. Good to see you as always. Thank you. Martha coming up, a Story Exclusive with independent president ial candidate rfk jr. And voters in East Palestine, ohio. Nearby battleground pennsylvania, which is just a couple miles away from this horrific scene. Its easy to forget these stories, but its not so easy for the people that lived it, that say that theyve had zero federal help in this situation. They feel completely abandoned despite the president s visit there just a couple weeks ago. Thats why rfk jr. Was there speaking with them about this. We joined him to find out whats going on there as well as they deal with the toxic fallout that is continuing, they say, to make them and their loved ones sick. While theyre fighting up there on the hill, theyre playing politics with any 4yearold daughters life. That is not okay. Martha tempers flare. Also over immigration in athens, georgia. Quite a scene this morning when the mayor came to the podium to try to talk to the people of the town after the murder of 22yearold Nursing Student, laken riley next. I understand in the wake of a great tragedy like this, were all deeply hurt. Everybody expresses their hurt differently. Who voted to make athensclark county a Sanctuary City, sir . Who . What is their name . For veteran homeowners, its easy as 123. One call newday and apply. Two take out an average of 70,000. Three pay off your credit cards its time to feed the dogs real food in the right amount. A healthy weight can help dogs live a longer and happier life. The farmers dog makes Weight Management easy with fresh food preportioned for your dogs needs. Its an idea whose time has come. Its odd how in an instant things can transform. Slipping out of balance into freefall. Im glad i found stability amidst it all. Gold. Standing the test of time. Her uncles unhappy. Im sensing an underlying issue. Its tmobile. It started when we got him under a new plan. But then they unexpectedly unraveled their price lock guarantee. Which has made him, a bit. Unruly. You called yourself the uncarrier. You sing about price lock on those commercials. The price lock, the price lock. So, if you could change the price, change the name its not a lock, i know a lock. So how can we undo the damage . We could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. Their connection is unreal. And we could all unexperience this whole session. Okay, thats uncalled for. Martha what an intense scene this morning. I dont know if you saw this live. It was quite something. Protesters shouted down the mayor of athens, georgia after the brutal murder of 22yearold laken riley who went out for a run and never came back to her home. They held signs saying stop lying, blood on your hands. You can see the rest of these. The 22yearold Nursing Student was killed when she went out for a jog last week around an area that college kids go to run all the time. So the feds say the suspect on the righthand side of your screen came here illegally from venezuela. He was arrested in New York City six months ago, which is the point where he should have been deported for breaking the laws of this country, but as we hear too often, that didnt happen. So that has prompted a lot of questions about how our cities are being run, why they are still calling themselves Sanctuary Cities and the mayor of athens got huge blowback today. Watch. No policies have been adopted please stop lying. You need to resign. One protocol resign resign now go away, resign. You allowed this to happen, sir. Martha okay. With that, we bring in chad wolf. Good to have you here, chad. Just an interesting microcosm in one city in america. You hear how very upset at least some of the people were in that room today, chad. What did you make of that . I think theyre right. Theyre right to be upset. Look, most americans are starting to catch on that Sanctuary Cities dont provide sanctuary and make their communities safer. They make them more dangerous at the end of the day. Whether you see that in New York City, philadelphia, chicago, elsewhere, citizens and americans are starting to wake up to this notion. It takes a terrible tragedy like we see here in thens to bring this to the forefront. As acting secretary, during the trump administration, i went to numerous Sanctuary City jurisdictions and trying to talk to the people about how it doesnt protect their communities and talking to Law Enforcement. So this unfortunately is not a new issue. This is something that weve been trying to educate people on, that Sanctuary City policies do not protect the residents of those communities. I think people in athens, georgia, are unfortunately feeling that personally right now. Martha the Attorney General Of Georgia was on Fox And Friends this morning, chris carr. He sort of i think got everyone prepared for what we would later hear when the mayor of athens started to speak. Heres what he said. This is the perfect tragic storm of a failed immigration system, dangerous Sanctuary Cities policies and an environment where d. A. s wont enforce the law such that Law Enforcement feels like they can do its job. I heard about the Press Conference that the mayor will engage in. Hes part of the team that create the Sanctuary Cities that they said they knew better than federal law or state law. Martha chad, we also on top of that just heard from President Biden. He was speaking at the white house about crime and safety in america. He sounded a little bit like what i heard from the mayor in athens this morning who at one point in his statement started to talk about how much safer athens is than other cities and how people should feel like that theyre sort of out of step if they dont have the right numbers and they dont understand that things are better. People dont. What did you think about what President Biden said moments ago . Well, no, americans dont feel that way. You just have to look whats going on on the border, that created a crisis and allowed individuals like the suspect to come in on Parole Program that should have never been in place. Then you have Sanctuary Cities that allow these individuals to be released and dont coordinate with ice to remove these individuals so the American People i think have seen enough and have heard enough and not reassured at this point. They want to see the policies change. Martha you have a majority of americans that want a border wall. 53 now want a border wall that keeps us safe. Chad, thank you very much. Good to have you here. I should mention in my i brought up these issues about whether or not we should have a secure wall at the southern border and what should happen to people that come here illegally and break our laws. I got some very interesting answers from r. F. K. Jr. On this. Youll hear our conversation coming up next. And the message today from President Biden, which i just touched on, about crime. His former Communications Director admits no matter what you say or what you see in the numbers, Many Americans feel unsafe. I dont subscribe to the trump vision of america as a decaying wasteland where packs of people are running wild committing crime. But it is true that people across the country, particularly in cities, are concerned about crime. And so look, the president will he said, we actually said that once that bill was killed by republicans that American People will hear directly from the president. The reason i ask, brownsville is one of the slower sectors. In the month of february, they averaged 17 illegal crossings a day for a little more than 450 in the month. The number 1 sector had more than 14,000 in the same time period. This administration has often criticized republicans when they go to the border and hold Similar Press conferences saying theyre doing Publicity Stunts and photo ops. How is this different . Its very different. What House Republicans have done is nothing. Absolutely nothing. If anything, they consistently get in the way. They consistently get in the way of what the president is trying to do to get more resources. Theyre turning this in to a political stunt by listening to donald trump and saying that they need to kill it. Making it political. The president got his team, directed his team to work with senators, both republicans and democrats, to get a bill done. The president is not going to see the parts of the border where its actually really bad. I think youre missing the point. The point is the president did the work to get a bipartisan bill done. That deals with an issue that the majority of Americans Care about. He did. It dealt with Border Security challenges, dealt with Immigration Policy. He actually did that. Republicans got in the way. They rejected it. What republicans in the house got in the way and rejected because of what they were told by the last president , by donald trump, to kill it. They literally, literally, jacqui, put politics ahead of the American People. Thats what they did. What do you say to people that think this is an Election Year stunt . Finally caring about the border after its been a problem for three years. Heres what id say. On the first day of his administration, he put out a comprehensive Immigration Policy to deal with this issue. He did that the first day. His first piece of legislation. I would hope the American People would see he serious he is about fixing this issue. Not only that, spent four months, four months having a bipartisan conversation doing negotiations to come up with a bill, with a proposal that was, again, approved by the Border Patrol union, right . That supported by the u. S. Chamber of commerce. We dont see that. That is because of the president s direction of what he was able to do because he got involved and worked with republicans and democrats in the senate. And when we got this bill done, by the way that included a lot of things that House Republicans wanted, when we got that done, it was rejected because of politics. I mean, thats where we are. Thats where we are. The president will make that very clear and take it to the American People. Has the president spoken to the young Georgia Student that was murdered at the hands of an undocumented immigrant . First of all, i do want the expend our deepest condolences to the family of laken riley. Im going to be careful about speaking to that case. Id have to refer anything specific to that case to Law Enforcement and obviously ice. The president , i dont have anything regarding to the president
