Maria welcome back. Good thursday morning. Thanks of very much for joining us very Maria Bartiromo thursday, june 27 al km on the east coast time for hot topic of the hour cnn debate in atlanta bidenomics virus verses magonomics. Under scoring the importance of the economy the Trump Campaign just released two new ads that will air in key battleground states during the cnn president ial debate tonight one of them focuses on the economy, posing the question better off now than you were when trump was president campaigns on the ground in atlanta ahead of arrivals meeting with Small Business owners, on both sides of the aisle yesterday congressman Byron Donalds, Bernie Carson joined a roundtable discussion with black Business Owners to the surprise of everyone in the room you see it there, the former president called Byron Donalds spoke about plans to cut taxes regulations predicted getting unfair treatment tonight. You are going to get a fair would it be to see, i think very good to see that, credibility interesting to see. We will also watch to see ho joins us trump because he has suggested in interviews Vice President ial pick in the room taking questions from supporters on campaign trail and in interviews, biden has been at camp david preparing for almost a week, focusing on rules for tonight different from last time in 2020, most notably there is no o audience, and candidates mics cut when not speaking no notes a bolt a pen pad of paper new galleryup polling shows the candidates age and issues, are working to advantage of former President Trump, ahead of tonight, sparks certainly going to fly undecideed voters tuning in in atlanta our bartiromo boulevard team hit streets of new york city asking what they think about tonights positive cnn president ial debate. The upcoming debate between biden and trump my goodness a movie, like, just pure entertainment. So many things theme want to hear about not what those two want to talk about. Um homelessness, economy, i dont think either one of those issues really favor trump i think he will blow smoke i think biden has facts i think he will do well in either one of those. I think the debates largely a gong show unless well controlled. Something new and exciting change the world change the kin of a immigration, the economy, Interest Rates, housing. Gas prices, Social Security food stamps. I think we should focus less on negatives more on positives. I think should have an audience. Able to focus what they need to say as opposed to having an audience that comments going backandforth, things like that. So i think pretty good i am a fan i think it matters i think both have pride i dont think either need to sit should stand though good exercise. Maria interesting how much economy was really the important issue there, throughout all those people your reaction. Right absolutely maria, to respondents point possible in theatre and showmanship could be a mirror image of 2020, when trump you believe fumbled the debate all he has to do, in my opinion, portray normalness to win record, terms speak for to its a prosperous time. People have nostalgia for economic security, biden on the other hand has the answer to last four years ago of pres presiding as we are inflation in decades botched you afghanistan withdrawal left u. S. Soldiers russia invading ukraine sure us putin wouldnt do the herculean cham trying not to seem will too old to govern a supermajority americans think he todd what do you think an oped in journal bill hagerty senator from tennessee, who said trump is now the normal candidate, i think that was a title. Trump is normal is normal candidate. Truth to that, because the left has totally gotten joe biden they own him now and we are all over the places about policy. But my advice to donald trump is this, you know i am a football fan even though i dont have a team to root for i work nor new york giants i look analogy donald trump is playing in a away game when you play on home turf you have to let them have all the emotion first 10 minutes get out of system you need to basically, being withstand that initial blow, then in this case joe biden is going to wear himself out. And that is when he is going to say dumb things stutter potentially do all things weve come to expect from joe biden over the last three and a half years, it is at that point you pounce, make sure you get your policy points in, let joe biden fail at the end if you do that a successful dab for trump. We are Getting Started this hour coming up House OversightCommittee Chairman james comer here live with the latest report that trumps cia chief new about hunter biden in intelligence coverup letter. You are watching mornings with maria live on fox business. Did i read this . Did i get eggs . Where are my keys . Memory and thinking issues keep piling up .

Com [thunder rumbles] the biggest ideas inspire new ones. 30 years ago, state street created an etf that inspired the world to invest differently. It still does. What can you do with spy . [thunder rumbles] maria welcome back now three house committees released a joint report he reveals how cia contractors colluded with bid again to discredit hunter biden laptop story as russian disinformation before 2020 election report claims cia highest position including trumps cia director gina haskell made aware of the letter prior to publication the New York Post editorial with this hunter biden laptop liar sold out country working for cia the biggest black eye in the history President Biden able to use that as talking point during the leadup to 2020 election in this debate, watch. 15 former National Intelligence folks who shared that he is accusing me of is a russian plan they have said this has all the, former heads of the create both parties say what he is saying as i bunch of garbage. This is classic trump we have four days left all of a sudden a laptop overwhelming offed russians are gamed. Last effort to discuss Campaign Smear me and family and vast majority have come out said there is no basis at all. Maria wow. We know otherwise, we now know that the president was fibbing in all those clips joining me james comer cia knew laptops was not hacked by russia joe biden knew laptop was real so did hunter biden, as this letter was being passed around, is that what is the main takeaway of this report . It is. I mean this is one of the biggest political scandals that i can remember, this is a perfect capital of the deep state including with allies in Mainstream Media to create a false narrative to attack a political opponent that opponent, of course, was donald trump. We know that fbi andy knew laptop was real not you russian disinformation what i had to deal with past year and a half investigating the biden family corruption is the fact that deep state comes in and they manufacture stories, Mainstream Media takes them hits copy and publishes them joe biden uses those talking points we have many questions about who is actually calling the shots in the Biden Administration, and more and more evidence coming forward that it is tdeep state bureaucrats a falls naifr to have political interference in our nations highest there ex. O cinnamon a ron johnson tweeted helps kliene where gina haskell refused to provide information that senator grassley and i requested in guys of the russia collusion hoax she would not have been schedule a phone call instead allowed 51 corrupt officials to interfere in 2020 election, far greater extent than anything russia could have hoped ep for. That is from ron johnson. Exactly propriety one hundred percent accuracy not just cia, it is fbi, they were involved as well tried to cover their traction, they hate donald trump dont the want anyone that is going in and drain the swamp disrupt the deep state, they knew donald trump trying to do that new joe biden would go with their games. How do you as chairman of the Oversight Committee ensure this doesnt want in 2024 how do you as elected official ensure quote unquote deep state cannot interfere anytime. Any time new having evident theyve been involved trying to interfere crying false narratives we go public about all we can do with democrat this deep state is dug in they are not going to provide any information, they are not going to be helpful, they are obstructing every investigation that we have, but they know were watching them, we are trying to depublic i think giving the American People the truth. They did not have the truth in the last election they were told that laptop was russian disinformation a dirty trick by donald Trump Campaign to try to hurt joe biden, when in fact the entire deep phosphate bureaucracy knew it was real worked with corrupt Mainstream Media to lie to American People. The laptop is out there you gained a lot of information as part of your investigation, into President Biden where does that investigation stand right now . Well it stands you know we issued criminal referrals ironically the criminal the first batch of criminal he referrals pertained to lying in deposition by hunter biden in community by jim biden one thing lawyers kept saying in theing deposition interview just a few months ago was that the laptop wasnt real that they disputed anything in the laptop that it wants russian disinformation until Department Just used laptop in gun case they could still get away with it when we see on laptop emails Text Messages bank records, pictures, evidence that joe biden was central figure in family peddling schemes something every american is concerned about, they dont want the president of the United States to be for sale, to our adversaries arent around the world. I understand that i am waiting for criminal referrals about in a you know you sent criminal referrals out over biden family lying to congress. Hunter james lying to congress i didnt see criminal referrals for influence peddling. Yeah. Well, we are still working on that, as you know, more evidence comes forward every day, we are trying to accomplish this report three committees working together you have ways and means working with whistleblowers a Herculean Task coming together i hope come next few weeks what we have seen this toning is not doing anything about it, it but statute of limitations is good for several years to where next president the next attorney general can actually hold people accountable we to me this administration is not going to maria. Maria look, House Republicans led by florida moss luna working to get audiotape from bidens interview with robert hur cold Merrick Garland if he does not comply with subpoena republicans will vote to have house sergeant at harms in custody are you going to bring attorney general into custody. That is anna lunas idea i think weve got a good case in court the reason i think Good Standing the Associated Press cnn Washington Post other outlets also suing for release of the tapes weve got Good Standing in court i dont think this contempt thing is necessary i will vote for it i dont think necessary i dont think anyone understands how it is going to work, last time it was used members of congress rode he horses to this building we are no i i think weve got Good Standing in court held them in contempt, the right way hopefully, we will win in court because we have the Mainstream Media on our side for once. Maria wow. I want to move to this because oversight kae demanding the group behind antiisraeli protests on College Campuses reveal funding youring a american muslims from palestine to turn over information communication documents related to funding of prohamas prop disbandsa illegal many encampments at universities across the country how who do you think funding. We know this group behind many protesters trying to trace money weve taken every necessary to request as to where funds are coming from they have failed to cooperate with us the next step will be a subpoena. As you know if you issue a subpoena you have to demonstrated goodfaith effort, several times, to get what you are subpoenaing we have done that, we are serious about this this is a priority this cant continue weve got too many jewish students around america that are intimidated to go to class that is unacceptable. The efforts to infiltrate key sectors in the United States consider what have you here and i just did a special on fox nation, called underwriting the enemy they dont follow accounting rules every other country follows. Why is that . Are you looking at that . Are you going to keep countries trading on exchanges enabling unwitting investors to Fund Expansion of number wone enemy. One of our biggest from financial perspective is the fact that this chinese bond market looks a lot like the 2008 u. S. Bond market, it is the bonds are backed by questionable securities, we dont know anything as you say about the current state of the Financial Market of china. I was alleges under pressings china was awash in cash and then the financial shape but they spent a lot on infrastructure, Belt Initiative we fear there is a collapse in the bond market in china going to have a Ripple Effect all over United States, what investigations focus on the federal government in all different agencies they dont have any plan to combat the chinese you influencer dont know what to look for when china infiltrates tries to disrupt hurt america whether Securities Market agriculture or whatever.
