I am here today to answer any legitimate questions and the House Oversight committee may have for me. Shall i allow hunter to give his Opening Statement first . It doesnt appear mr. Biden showed up for his public hearing. With any luck today marks the end of what may be the most spectacular failure in the history of an congressional investigations. State your iniry because we were a very important hearing what is your inquiry . It is not a stunned. I am simply asking you dont have a parliamentary inquiry . Chair recognize him mr. Chairman chairman recognizes mr. Does the committee how the Text Messages . Mr. Chairman we dont have time for games by democrats today. House Impeachment Hearing at 80 he did start, republicans and democrats taking shots at each other with two of Hunter Bidens former Business Partners. Hello and welcome everyone im sandra smith and dajohn craig to be with you. John great to be with you, what a hearing today, im john roberts in washington and this is america reports, hunter biden a noshow at todays hearing, they called his bluff and invited him to the hearing he requested. Two g. O. P. Witnesses were there to talk about the Business Dealings and republicans try to drive home their claims hunter biden sold access to his fathers political power to enrich the family. J sandra it seems democras were set on diversion tactics, Jared Moskowitz even wore a Vladimir Putin mask as you just saw there on his way in. That was a moment. Live on the hill, with the latest david, its been tense in the hearing room so far. It really has, sander and john, the hearing was heated in that heat continues to rise three hours later, it really hasnt stopped since we saw that montage, its really good idea of what we are seeing. It is really turning into a proxy fight between team trump and team biden with each Side Complaining or alleging the other candidate is worse for the white house in 2024. Hunter biden, as you said, a noshow. Not a full surprise because his attorney last week wrote congress and said essentially that hunter would not be coming to this sideshow but hunter surprised us in the past. He came to capitol hill two times since december. So you really never know with hunter biden. His name plate in front of a an empty chair, and an Influence Peddling in washington, republican say joe biden is the definition of influence ped peddling, and they are saying the same about donald trump. And tasked with digging up dirt on the biden family in ukraine as a witness for democrats today, watch. Nearly a year traveling the world and interviewing officials in Different Countries i found precisely zero evidence of the bidens a corruption in ukraine. No credible sources ever provided proof of criminal activity. Republicans on the other hand told Tony Bobulinski the former Hunter Business associate who said joe biden no question is the brand in the biden family making its living off of Influence Peddling. Joe biden was more than a participant and a beneficiary of his familys business, he was an active, aware enabler. 20 bob linsky has been saying this since 2020, also Jason Gallant is a former Hunter Business associate and serving 14 years behind bars in federal prison and had to join us virtually. He is sitting in prison for scamming worker pensions. I mean come how low can you get . Devon archer, another former Hunter Business associate, i think you see the theme here of former Hunter Associates was invited today, he declined to show up, his attorney said he would show up at a later time. Back to you. Sandra david live we will continue monitoring for our viewers. But certainly something. To have that empty chair for hunter biden with his nameplate in front of it, john. John the in Credi Credibiliy Depends On which side of the political ill use it because the democrats were happy to have let parnassus testify in person. He has been in jail for wire fraud among other things but Jason Gallant us is in jail although he had no credibility. Pick and choose your villains here, right . Sandra carry bond will dig in with us coming up and Byron Donalds will be joining us, john. John looking forward to all of that. In the interim former President TrumpRunning Out Of Time to secure a bond for nearly half a Million Dollars in his new york civil fraud case. If he cant come up with it attorney general Letitia James can start using his assets as soon as monday. Fox Team Coverage coming up now we will ask jerry baker how this can affect the 2044 race but first fox Business Correspondent lydia who, you are digging in and learning more about the challenges the former president faces in getting this unbelievably norm is bonded together . Hi, there, john, i certainly am. According to Donald Trumps lawyers and unwillingness to accept real estate as collateral was the reason about 30 Insurance Companies turns trump away, but sources tell us companies are worried about investor or public backlash. Company calling this Headline Risk which is something that can create a negative reaction for the company which happened earlier this month when Insurance Company chubb posted a near 92 million appeal bond for donald trump in another case. The federal defamation matter filed by e. Jean carroll. Last week sub about dumb atomic chubbs ceo greenberg was forced to defend that bond rating thisy realize how polarizing and emotional this case and the defendant donald trump are and how easy it would be for chubb to just say no. However, we will support the rule of law and our role in it perry we consider this the right thing to do and we, frankly, left our own personal feelings aside. One bonn expert called the letter surprising and says it could illustrate the Headline Risk other companies now seek to avoid. If there was already backlash supporting other bond or having that much of a credit risk from one individual it is certainly something they will take into consideration. You know, it is obviously not helping the case. It is not a positive. As you point out we are now only days away for the deadline for that bond, its still possible that trump could raise the capital or we could see the court agreed to a lesser amount, but if the bond does not post, you are right, the attorney general Letitia James could move to seize trumps properties and bank accounts. Send it back to you. John if she sees is the property she has start managing so we will see how that goes, lydia, thank you, sandra . Sandra jerry baker Fox News Contributor and wall street editor at large, we will put it up at the screen, we know what is at play, could be his trump tower penthouse, the wall Street Office building which we have heard from District Jane that she is interested in and golf courses and beyond. What do the coming days look like . No question its a complicated matter for donald trump but i think this has as with all his legal problems has two effects. One, it makes his life difficult. He will after raise this money somehow or face a potential seizure, i find it hard to believe that she could get away with seizing some of these properties but look he has to come up with this money somehow. As we heard these Insurance Companies are reluctant to do it because of Headline Risk so all of this complication just as a criminal case he is facing in other cases he is facing complicate his immediate ability to function and operate his campaign, but the political implication i think, sandra, are always beneficiary for donald trump. I think this looks more and more the more they do this and i dont think democrats ever really understand this or maybe they do and they are playing some of the coming game and they think they really want to run against him, is this all just reinforcing the sense that whatever you think of donald trump, lots of people dont like him and his character, but he is being hunted down in this way that is not fair for a president ial candidate. A new poll out, an important goal, One Of The Best pole in The Business Has trump seven points up and more than 20 points up among independents and for two reasons, one, people feel this effort as political and secondly they also focus on the issues that can really concern them and frankly, whether or not Letitia James seizes a golf course is not of interest to the average american in terms of what matters to them in their daily life. Sandra none of that seems to matter to the ladies on the view they are having a field day what could happen in the next few days, listen here. I mentioned saudi arabia and russia for a reason. They have motivation to give him the money because then they will own him. They almost on him now. There is no way anyone will lend money to him and i cant wait to see the chains on trump tower actually on fifth avenue. [applause] im excited about it. Sandra so there is that viewpoint, also this from ted on the former president s network. Trump claims he is a billionaire but he cant pay a 464 million judgment which means he is lying, says lou, how do i know . Math. Trump is broken is the hashtag, although he did not provide his math. Mark cuban decided to respond and said you are wrong on this topic, net worth is completely different than cash in the bank. We were in a zero Interest Rate environment for a long, long time. Keeping cash in the bank or even Money Markets was done. In fact, searching for a yield what killed small banks last year. That something you know a lot about, jerry baker. Shows how financially ignorant some of these people are. If you have 100,000 in your 401 k thats great, that doesnt mean you can splash out A Hundred Thousand dollars if the court case comes up. There be big penalties. Huge penalties, its not liquid. I dont know how much trump is worth, he is worth a lot of money but most of it is tied up in real estate. You cant immediately sell that, its even hard to raise money against it in the form of liens or mortgages or whatever. So its ridiculous, this idea is somehow underscores of how poor trump really is, but just to the point about the view, you wonder who is actually listening to this. Again, we have seen in the last week, sandra, the way the media overreached again and again and again. We saw that ridiculous nonsense in his speech when he used the term blood bad they use it again and again and they just all the time they do it they weaken the trust people have in them and it makes them believe all the things donald trump says even more. Sandra can i ask you real quick because we have a big Interest Rate decision coming up the top of the next hour, we are watching the market set of that decision, you just mentioned the reason why people wouldnt be, just keeping their money in the bank, this Interest Rate environment has changed drastically. Do you expect any big changes here . No. Therell be no change in Interest Rates today. What we are all looking for the forecast and what they will say, what powell will say, market is still expecting there to be some Interest Rate cuts later this year but inflation is resilient, sandra, its still around 3 , i think there is a growing chance we wont see rate cuts and may be increase. Sandra thats a big production from jerry baker, thank you very much we will be watching for that announcement at 2 00 eastern time about 45 minutes from now, thanks, jerry. John . John Something Else we are watching and waiting for as the policy summit in austin, texas, they will probably mention the lurching to an fro from the Court System Yesterday or the Supreme Court said texas was able to at least in the interim enforced approved diction that my Prevention Sb4 to making it illegal to cross the border which was turned by the Court Of Appeal which is in arguments on the case. So we will see with the Texas Governor has to say when he comes up to speak in just a little bit later on this afternoon. Policy it unfortunately its frustrating. John fox news gets an exclusive look at the race to track down Illegal Migrants with criminal records. Why are they out of the streets in the first place . Sandra and hunter biden skips the public house hearing he asked for, two of his former Business Partners participated. Carrier bonds says if they got what they needed to proceed, President Bidens impeachment next.

Com airo sandra New York City Subway crime expanding to Commuter Rails, new video shows two men fighting in a Long Island Railroad car monday during commuting hours. Police say one of the passengers slashed the other in the face with a box cutter. A third man intervened to break up that brawl. The cover of todays New York Post highlighting how unsafe new yorkers are feeling showing the nyc mayor saying this is fine while he sits in a burning room. This is real and it also highlights the cover, i have it here, john, i saw it first time this morning not just how unsafe new yorkers feel in this new poll just 30 for quality of life is good and everything is worse than six years ago is the cover here. It is something everyone is talking about and everyone feels and while we are talking about this crime happening in the city these are Commuter Rails people are going out to the suburbs and that is not good. John it is reminiscent of what happened in the mid1990s when that guy shot up the Long Island Railroad train and killed so many people. Nothing like that has happened in the ensuing decades but now it looks like the bad old days are rearing their heads again. Sandra and representing a district in new york, she is speaking out about this. She has some solutions. We will be talking to her. John looking forward to that. Meantime back to our top story, hunter biden skipping out on todays highstakes hearing months after he said he would be happy to testify in public and Lawmakers Said they would question two of his Business Partners as they will try to get to the bottom of his involvement in his sons business. The bidens so joe biden. That is their business. President biden has been continually dishonest with the American People about his knowledge of his familys busine dealings. Millions of dollars from foreign entities runs are 20 Different Companies for what . John lets bring an carrier bonds, fox news editor and counselor, todays hearing lisa boothe questions you, first of all you have any doubt that hunter biden was selling the Family Business for millions and millions of dollars . Second question, is there anything wrong with that . Third question, is there anything to try to joe biden at this point . I dont know anyone has any doubt that hunter biden was selling his data bus for his name because he didnt have the experience of the connections on his own to have gotten the business deals that he did, right . That is because its of his father, thats an easy one. The Second Question
