Neil all right. That was six hours ago when hunter biden arrived in washington to talk to congressmen Behind Closed Doors. We have no indication what they have discovered on hunters dad. We have a pretty good idea what theyre discovering on hunter biden himself. Welcome. Im neil cavuto. Lets get to it. Aishah hasnie. I guess you could call this the hearing that doesnt end. Its going on and on as we speak, right . Hey, neil. It could be wrapping up in the next couple moments here. We were told that chairman comer is walking down now. So if he takes the podium here, i will hand it off to him so we can listen to those remarks. We havent seen or heard from him since this all started. Looks like hes walking over now. But we do know that hunter biden has been taking every question, answering in great detail and in great length. Not pleading the fifth, which has been surprising because of those two criminal cases. Heres chairman comer. Im just going to issue a brief statement. Deposition is still john going. I have a bill on the house floor. Im going to run across the street. Republicans are still currently asking questions. But i think this was a great deposition for us. It proves several bits of our evidence that weve been conducting throughout this investigation. But theres some contradictory statements that i think need further review. So this Impeachment Inquiry will now go to the next phase, which will be a Public Hearing. Thats something that everyone in the media has been asking a lot of questions about. Something that i know that mr. Biden and his attorney both demanded. Just as i said when we said we would do the deposition first. Well have a Public Hearing next. So i think that Public Hearing hopefully will clear up some discrepancies between the statements made between the associates and what we heard today. All and all, im very optimistic, very excited about this deposition. And i look forward to releasing the transcripts as soon as both sides agree to that. Hopefully that will be in the ftx two or three days. What was contradictory, sir . So neil, chairman comer says he will release the transcript of this deposition, which is what democrats have been calling for. They feel like this investigation is over. Theres nothing to see here. They want those transcripts released as quickly as possible, which it sounds like were going to see. They do not want to see a Public Hearing. They think this is over. You heard from chairman comer. Sounds like theres going to be a Public Hearing. There was a stunning moment during this deposition. We heard from democrats. They said that at one point hunter biden brought up jared curbmer, former President Trumps soninlaw and suggested that lawmakers launch an investigation into him and his overseas Business Dealings. When fox questioned whether or not hunter biden was suggesting which investigations or what lawmakers should be looking into, we heard congressman goldman push bash. I dont know. He raised the question. He drew the distinction between what he had done in a Business World with independent businessmen versus foreign governments, which he did not do any business with unlike jared kushner. Okay. There was also of course this big question, neil, of what value or experience did hunter biden offer any of these boards, these foreign companies. I got to ask both democrats and republicans what did hunter say today. Listen to this. Weve asked those questions. Theres and ellucory very. Theres a mirage to believe that he was engaged in international business. He said im a graduate of georgetown. Hes been involved in lots of business. He was an expert on corporate governance. So it sounds like this might be over now. Chairman comer of course just walked out. We havent seen hunter biden leave yet. Were expecting him to walk through these doors. Were standing by now. Neil . Neil just to put a fine sort of finish on this. Comer is looking in to Hunter BidensBusiness Dealings. This went on for the better part of six hours. A lot of stuff that they have on hunter and trying to connect a lot of that stuff to dad. I wasnt attending this Behind Closed Doors meeting and neither were you. Your sources are far better. Im wonder if theres stuff that they connected to dad. Comers remarks were brief, very short. If he found anything that was, he certainly would have leapt at the chance to say it. You would think that he would have led the entire commentary a few moments ago with what whatever he seems to have found. Democrats have been coming out and sort of like on a media blitz talking to anyone and everyone that will speak to them. Republicans have been very so i lint. Almost angry with democrats for saying anything theyre saying. Chip roy said theres rules to this, a deposition. You shouldnt be coming out and talking. Hes upset that Jared Kushners name was brought up. Democrats are talking to the media and telling them whats going on inside. Again, this would be the make or break deposition for this case. If there is something that has come out of this, you would think wed hear about it fairly soon. Neil all right. Aishah, thanks for that. Andy mccarthy joins us now. Katie cherkasky. Andy, if i can begin with you on what revelations that we know of could have come from the six hours of testimony on the part of hunter biden. Obviously the real pursuit here is his dad. Or connect his dad to his sons business practices. Do you think in anything you have heard that they have got that . That they have achieved that . Yeah, i thought that hunter led with his chin at the beginning of the day when he did an Opening Statement that said the father was never involved. That he never involved his father with his business associates. They had numerous different instances in Black And White statements showing that he precisely involved his father in his Business Dealings, most notorious through that Whatsapp Message that was notorious with a chinese partner saying im sitting here with my dad and pressured him to close a deal. I have to say, neil, two things on the basis of the reporting we just heard. First, it makes perfect sense that the republicans wouldnt go public if they have gotten something explosive in the deposition if the deposition is still going on, which we understand that it is. Because as an investigator, you wouldnt want to Say Something public and then hunters lawyers find out about it and they try to repair it or fix it while the deposition is still going on. If he said something that is either incriminating or troubling, you want to lock him in and leave it in the transcript rather than brag about it while he can still fix it. Secondly, with respect to dan goldmans comments, its remarkable. Hu hunters Business Partners including Bank Of China and the chinese bank. So to try to draw a distinction between his Business Partners and what he said with Jared Kushners is remarkable. Neil in the case of jared kushner, A Billion Dollars from major arab nation. Thats a separate issue. Katie, your talk on where you think this goes . Because theyre not trying to sort of thread the needle. That is those defending hunter biden to say of course, you know, theres a connection with the name. We get that. Theres nothing untoward or wrong with the father being mentioned or dipping in and even saying hello. That was something that the father said never happened in the first place. They have to sort of correct that. What do you make of that, that the appearance of impropriety doesnt equal impropriety, which is what i think theyre saying. This has always been a circumstantial case as far as tying joe biden to any of hunters Business Dealings. Theres strong Circumstantial Evidence that he was involved. I dont think that hunter has offered any sort of clear explanations for many of these very specific exchanges. The Text Messages that Reference Payments that are being sent, the presence of joe biden on all of these phone calls. So in terms of whether the republicans can close that loop and actually get to a place with even circumstantially they can show that there was direct involvement of joe biden and it was for an improper purpose, thats where you have to look at the inconsistencies that have come out, all of the testimony presented by Business Partners and meet that burden of proof. Hunter is in a tough position. Hes facing criminal cases that kind of overlap with the same subject matter. I wouldnt have anticipated that he will give Smoking Gun Evidence or concessions. Certainly any statements that he gives are going to be analyzed in terms of those inconsistencies to see if that loop can be closed. Neil lets go to the latest decision on donald trump and hes legal battles. The court has decided against him and his judgment. He must post the full amount. The judge will temporarily allow donald trump and his sons to continue running the business as this appeals process plays out. So hearing that, andy, what do you think . Well, i think the wild card in that, neil, is that the verdict in the civil the new york civil fraud case prescribes or prohibits donald trump and the Trump Organization from taking loans from banks that are either chartered by new york or registered to do business in new york. You know this better than i do. That seems to be like every Important Financial Institution in america. So its good for trump that he will continue to have a little bit more leeway to do what he has to do to put these bonds together. I dont know how he will do it if he cant take loans. Neil or something that could collateralize the properties that he has here. He really cant do that. Theres a number of properties that hes a direct investor or side investor that could easily get this money forward. But that money in getting it to them is paramount. The appeals process and maintaining a Business Interest and identity in new york, that cant just be shut down as he goes through it is the other part. How do you size it up . I wonder if he has an argument. His team has mentioned that they will raise an eighth amendment argument that excessive fines shouldnt be imposed. He should proceed with that appeal without posting the full amount of this unprecedented damages that hes been adjudged against. I think he has to get creative. The first step is to ask the court if they would have some leeway with that. Barring their allowance for that, he has to go through the standard process. Neil that meant that 100 million Bond Offering that he make by the way, these sizes have never been seen in any state that has this kind of thing on the books. New york is unique because this is even though its been out there for decades, its never been used. The 100 million thing is a Bond Offering that he couldnt make. It was a quarter of what he would have to put up if you follow the letter of this murky law. So that remains the case. Put up the full amount. Andy, your thoughts. I wouldnt go to sleep, neil, on the fact that probably early next week judge kaplan in the federal trial, the second E Jean Carroll case is going to tell him he has to put up 90 million to appeal there. That has already come up this week. So, you know, this is just the beginning of these problems for the former president. Youre talking about the e. Jean carroll situation. Thats 94 million there. This is 464 million. Youre closing in hahn 570 million when all is said and done. Thanks very much. Well keep track of this. Obviously a moving target. Both of these legal cases and where they go. Meantime, letting you know about mitch mcconnell. Hes 82 years young. He says thats enough. Im going to step down at least as republican leader of the senate. No one has served longer in that kind of capacity in november. He can still stay on and plans to stay on right through the end of 2026 when the present term expires. We have more from chad pergram on the fallout from this. Chad . Neil, good afternoon. Several factors at play here. Age, time, health and its about the math. Mcconnell just turned 82. Hes the longest serving Senate Leader in history. Mcconnell fell last year. He then froze up on several occasions and mcconnell lost his iron grip on senate republicans. Believe me, i know the politics within my party at this particular moment in time. I have many faults. Politics is not one of them. Martha gop Florida SenateEric Scott Ran against mccome for leader in late 2022. Mcconnell failed to get a majority of gop members to support the International Aid bill earlier this month. Gop missouri senator Josh Hawley Said Mcconnell was the symbol of everything that is wrong with washington. Nobody has done more to open the geyser of Corporate Cash in American Politicses that mitch mcconnell. I think there will be more than three that are interested. Maybe more than three that are viable. I dont know. Its been a long time since weve had a Leadership Race like this. 3 senators are interested in succeeding mcconnell. Gop whip john thune, former women john cornyn and John Barrasso of wyoming. The gop wont pick a predecessor until november. Hes gave us the confidence to sit down and decide what our Mission Needs to be. What are our goals. We need a more strategic approach to doing that. Hes given us that time to have that discussion and then hopefully find a leader that will fully embrace that mission. There was tension between mcconnell and conservatives for years. Former President Trump wanted mcconnell out. It was thought that mr. Trump could try to engineer his ouster if he wins in november. Neil . Neil thank you for that, chad, on capitol hill. Well give you the latest and whether the former president has said anything about this. The former President Plans to go to the border tomorrow. The present President Plans to go to the border tomorrow. Theyre not there at the same time and the same place. Its note worthy. Jacqui heinrich has more. Were waiting for the results of the president s physical that happened today. It wont include a Cognitive Test. On the border, travel tomorrow. He will not be seeing an area, a sector that has been very busy. The white house says that doesnt matter. Hes going to rail against republicans for killing the bipartisan border deal that failed in the senate. They see this as a big opportunity to shift the blame from the white house to the gop on the crisis at the border. More on that. There are so many tina feys i could be. So i hired body doubles to help me out. Splurgy tina loves a hotel near rodeo drive. Oh tina wild tina booked a farm stay to ride this horse.

Neil the president of the United States and the former president of the United States are headed to the border, different parts. Jacqui heinrich on this historic timing. Jacqui . Pretty historic, neil. Hes only been to the border one other Time Since Taking Office and the other historic event today i shouldnt say historic but more like doesnt happen often. He does his physical. Were waiting on the memo from the white house of the health readout from the president. We know it wont include a Cognitive Test. The president says that his doctors and neurologist doesnt think he needs one. In the words of karine jeanpierre, he passes a Cognitive Test every day. They said they had no problem railing against his age and the hur report on the classified documents. Opted not to include one citing, of course, the doctors decision and now folks have to take his word for it. The president joked around and what happened in his physical this morning. Listen to this. [question inaudible] so the president said the doctors think he looks too young. After that remark, he commented on the upcoming retirement of minority leader mitch mcconnell, who cited his own age, 82 as part of hits decision to step down. The quote he said,
