7 00 a. M. ElsElizabeth Warren is being pressed on biden family economics. Take a listen. I always worry about the influence peddlers in washington, regardless of party of partyaffiliation. We have to shut down the revolving door, have ethics rules that aply to everyone. Maria she was careful not to mention joe biden as a newly surfaced picture shows then Vice President biden on Board Air Force 2 on his controversial 2015 trip to ukraine, thats where he said nobody messes with a buy done. Hes being biden. He is being briefed by an advisor. The briefing happened before biden threatened to withhold aid, u. S. Aid to ukraine i top prosecutor general. He got Victor Shokin fired and he got his money. House Oversight Committee chairman james comer told me that the burisma head gave joe biden 5 million and hunter biden 5 million. Comer joined me yesterday to discuss the ongoing probe into the biden family influence peddling. Watch. This is always going to end with the bidens coming in front of the committee. We are going to subpoena the family. If i had subpoenaed joe and hunter biden the first day i became chairman of the committee it would have been tied up in court and the judge would have thrown it out. We have put together a case that i think would stand up in any court of law in america and we hope to hear from the bidens too. I wish the media would ask the president what exactly did your family do to receive this 21 million that the house Oversight Committee has proven. He continues to say thats a lie. Thats not true. We have their bank records, maria. Bank records dont lie. Maria krysia, its amazing to me, i was looking at twitter earlier, x, whatever you want to call it, and a lot of people are saying, you know, who are biden fans, wheres the evidence, wheres the evidence. James comer has shown us evidence. Hes come out with bank records. He has exposed bank records, witness testimony, and 176 suspicious activity reports. This is a stunning story. The most aggressive charges ever leveled at a sitting president and the Mainstream Media will not report it. Well, thats part of the democrat talking points. They like to say that theres no evidence when there is as you mentioned so much evidence here and they want the quote, unquote, smoking gun evidence to tie it all together. I again p am waiting for the republicans to start their impeachment inquiry. They have all of it ready to go. To go back to what Elizabeth Warren said, i wish she called out hunter biden by name. I think we need transparency in all aspects of our government. Again, the democrats turn a blind eye to what is occurring and wont mention hunter or joe. It obscures the facts here and we really do need to get going and move quickly and start subpoenaing the Biden Crime Family because we have enough to do it. Maria yeah. I mean, look, yesterday when i had james comer on the show, i said look, youve been on this for two years now and youve been investigating this and every day or every week you come out with new information. We need to hear from the bidens. We need to hear what their reaction, what their answer to all of this is, are you going to subpoena them and he said yes, he said we are going to subpoena biden family members. So well see. I think ryan, once you start seeing democrats turn on the biden family, Start Talking about this influence peddling in a big way, then you know theyre ready to take joe out, put kamala in. I dont know if its the best decision for them because shes not that popular. What gets me too, you talk about egreeegregiousness, he held up a billion dollars from ukraine because he wanted to top prosecutor out because they were investigating the company over there. You talk about peddling for influence, come on, its like the most egregious form of it, its right in plain sight. I mean, give me a break. Maria lets just be clear about what the charges are, these are the charges that President Biden is hearing about from republicans right now. This is very serious. And yet, we havent heard anything from the special council. Does anybody even know the commercispecial council on the classified documents case for joe biden. Its rob effort herr. Robert herr. We will probably not hear a lot about him either. Going forward, we certainly have enough evidence to go against hunter biden with his breaking the fara laws, hes not a registered foreign agent, neither was devon archer but certainly joe biden you have the connection made. He was talking more than just about the weather that the other democrat talking point, he was just talking about the weather and there really is no business connection. We saw peter doocy this week ask him ridiculous question as joe biden called it to tie it all together. He refuses to answer any questions. Hell go on the weather channel, talk about Climate Change, talking about the existential crisis that were fa are clearly as we well know. Maria and even more outrageous is the proxies that this administration has holding their water from the media to the democrat representation. I mean, to hear representative dan goldman come out the other day and say oh, yeah, they didnt talk about business, just because joe biden called into the meetings 20 times, they talked about the weather. I mean, how stunning that he actually sat there, locket at report looked at reporters faces and said that.

Joining us now former gartman letter editor, dennis gartman. Ryan payne is with us all morning. Economists are expecting a fractional move, up two tenths of a percent month over month for the ppi and rise of seven tenths of a percent year over year, dennis. What are you expecting from the numbers and how would assess the macro story now, looking at growth versus inflation . First of all, its good to be on with my friend ryan payne. Hes been bullish for a long period of time. Hes done a great job. Well done, mr. Payne, youve done extraordinary work. Cleaverly the ppi clearly, the ppi number will be up two tenths of 1 . The cpi, you had a bullish response and a terrible close by the end of the session which i thought was deleterious to the stock market in the long run. Time will tell. I think todays ppi number will be up two tenths of 1 . It wont be anything the fed will take into consideration to tighten Monetary Policy further. I think the fed is done for all intents and purposes at this point. The yield curve, youre deinverting the curve a bit. I think thats very important. The shortend is showing strength, the long end is showing weakness. But i think you had something that happened seven trading sessions ago in the bond market when you had a technical reversal to the upside in price. Reversal of the down side in yield. I think thats an important turning point for the bond market. Pay attention. It disinverted from the yield curve. Short end will be better, the long end, rates will stay higher for longer, for a longer period of time. Maria so are you still expecting things to weaken this year, dennis, toward year end and into next year . The debate on recession i think the economy yes, i think the economy is going to weaning. I think its already beginning the process of weakening. Taking a look at one of the most important indicators that i l follow, the relationship between the leading Economic Indicator and the coincidence, when the ratio goes less than one, since 1970 every time after that weve had a recession following within a year or year andahalf. That happened about six months ago. I think were going to be in a quiet, not a disturbing recession but a slowing economic environment. No question about that. Its just a matter of time i think were already probably very close to that period right now. Maria ryan, you see it differently. We did get a read on inflation yesterday. The july Consumer Price index was actually better than expected, showing a rise of 3. 2 . But that was while better than expected it still showed and increase from last month. One sector that keeps going up is rent inflation, up 7. 8 since july 2022. Average rents in new york city now topping 5,500 a month, ryan. You also of course have the elevated price of oil which is also one of those sticky things in inflation that is keeping prices elevated. Whats your take on the inflation story and the macro story as well . Yeah, well i do agree with dennis on the inflation story, actually we agree on that and pocket scarf today is so handsome, dennis, i cant even put it into words. I think the bottom line here is when you look at inflation, you look at the shelter component, if you look at real rents, whats happening in real time because the lag in the cpi number, theyre actually coming down a lot nationwide. New yorks a different animal. I live in new york. Its awful. The rent situation is brutal. Nationwide, it is starting to come down, starting to see new leases and that is going to start to show up in the shelter component of cpi which is going to start dropping a lot over the next couple months. If you took the shelter component out of cpi yesterday, you would look at 2 inflation which thats the feds target so agree with dennis there. I think the fed is done. I think the market knows the fed is done. The only place ill disagree with dennis this morning, dennis likes 60s rock, so do i, bob dylans, the times are changing. We are seeing a reacceleration of growth. We could see close to 4 gdp growth in the upcoming quarter. I think well see growth rates start to rise this year and next year and thats very optimistic for stocks and very optimistic on the economy, with all due respect, dennis. Maria dennis. As bob dylan said, you dont need a weatherman to know the way the wind blows. We have a president that seems to spend a lot of time talking about the weather. Well said, dennis. Maria well said is right. Gentlemen, good to see you both. Thank you so much. Well take a break. When we come back, President Biden finally admits what the Inflation Reduction Act really was and it is not about reducing inflation. Arkansas congressman french hill is with us for reaction.

Theres no way this works like this. And threw it to the side. A couple weeks later, i seen it again after getting not so pleasant news from my physician. I was 424 pounds, and my doctor was recommending weight loss surgery. To avoid the surgery, i had to make a change. So i decided to go with golo and its changed my life. When i first started golo and taking release, my cravings, they went away. And i was so surprised. You feel that your body is working and functioning the way it should be and you feel energized. Golo has improved my life in so many ways. Im able to stand and actually make dinner. Im able to clean my house. Im able to do just simple tasks that a lot of people call simple, but when youre extremely heavy theyre not so simple. Golo is real and when you take release and follow the plan, it works. Maria welcome back. Well the white house is now asking congress for an additional 40 billion in supplemental funding for the start of the coming fiscal year. The white house says it wants an additional 24 billion for ukraine, 12 p 12 billion for r relief and 4 billion for the border and fentanyl crisis. Joining me is arkansas congressman french hill, a member of the house intelligence and Foreign Affairs committee, vice chairman of the House Financial Services committee. Thank you for being here this morning. You bet, maria. Good to be with you. Maria so lets start on americas finances this morning and this additional supplemental money that President Biden is asking for. What are the odds that this is going to be approved and what are your plans once you all get back in september when the deadline that the government runs out of money happens on september 30th . Well, maria, i was disappointed that we only got one of the House Appropriations bill across the house floor before we broke for the august recess. We have 11 more to go. So we have a lot of work ahead of us before september and i think a majority of House Republicans would have urged the president to just consider this 40 billion request as a part of the debt ceiling deal we already negotiated. You should have contemplated those needs and put them in your spending request negotiated with speaker mccarthy. I think thats where most House Republicans are. We want to see the budget spending controlled. The president increased spending over 2 trillion per year since 2019. Thats how much more were spending so we think theres plenty of money, we would prefer the existing budget absorb those expenses for fema, for ukraine, for the border. Maria yeah, i mean, this is a really important point that youre making because the democrats borrowed and spent 6 trillion on joe bidens watch and now we know about all of this legislation that has already passed into law. How come that additional money wasnt part of the ask . President biden just this week said that he regrets, his word, not mine, he regrets the title of his Inflation Reduction Act. I mean, this whole time were talking about this Inflation Reduction Act, supposed to be reducing inflation. Well, yesterday he says i wish i hadnt called it that. It had less to do with reducing inflation than it does with providing alternatives that generate economic growth, congressman. We know what that means, it means its the green agenda. Its the climate agenda but his chips act, bipartisan infrastructure act and Inflation Reduction Act were all enormous increases in domestic spending in an outofcontrol untargetted way, its industrial policy, picking winners and losers, its going to misallocate resources in our market economy. These are all bad things. Thesthese will all contribute to inflation, not curtail inflation. Its hard to find a worker to pwork on roads. In my view, we should be able to find these goals he has for fighting the war in ukraine, the border improvements, and fema for disasters out of the existing money that weve negotiated with between President Biden and speaker mccarthy. Its a completely reasonable presumption on the part of House Republicans. Maria this happens over and over again, when youre in the fight and when the white house is in the fight, trying to get their legislation through and get the votes in congress, its about reducing inflation as were all hurting because of 40 year high inflation. Now that its law and hes got all this money thats being allocated into the economy he regrets calling it inflation because its actually a Climate Change bill. I mean, you know, this is very disingenuous. I want to know from you what your priorities are in the Financial Services committee because i know that were also talking about regulation potentially around crypto and around the digital economic the Digital Assets part of the economy. So tell us what your priorities are. Well, first we want to counter chairman gary gensler and the s. E. C. On his unreasonable mandates around the climate agenda. We think thats unreasonable. Thats going to raise cost, make it harder to be a Public Company in our country so thats a key point. On the digital front, youre right, america should be the leader in web 3, the leader in distributed Ledger Technology and Digital Assets innovation. This will create jobs, expand opportunities for americans but again, gary gensler at the s. E. C. Is operating by enforcement. So what Patrick Mchenry the chairman of the Financial Services committee and i have tried to do working with our friends on the ag committee is create the right targeted regulatory process for Digital Assets, for commodities in the ag committee and for tokens that might be considered securities in the s. E. C. Jurisdiction. We think this will bring back money and jobs to the u. S. And innovation to the us and we hope we can get that through the house floor this fall. Maria well, im glad you mentioned gary gensler. Im also interested in understanding why it is possible for Chinese Companies to trade on u. S. Exchanges and not follow the sitting auditing rules same auditing rules as everybody else. Gary gensler has been overseeing this whole idea of Venture CapitalCompanies Getting american money invested in Chinese Companies that are tied to the chinese military. Why are we funding the expansion of communist china when they are literally about to turn their guns on us with all of the aggression that were seeing play out from cyber activity and hacks to surveillance balloon . Maria, this is such an important point. It speaks directly not only to what gensler is doing at the s. E. C. On auditing standards and Holding ChinesePublic Companies here accountable but also what the president did yesterday on the executive order, what on capitol hill we call reverse cfius where we review American Investments going to other countries like china. Hes got it narrowly targeted but you have to understand everything in china is about a dual use technology. Everything that china does is in the interest of their national security, spying on our research facilities, spying on our college campuses, stealing intellectual property, so im not sure the president s executive order yesterday really gets at the heart of it and is tough enough. I think mike mccall and the house Foreign Affairs committee, Patrick Mchenry and our team on the House Financial Services committee will want to look very carefully at the executive order and see if we cant make it stronger, even more targeted and better. Maria well, congressman, we know that theres no teeth to this eo. This executive order. I mean, the president is trying to appear like hes being tough on beijing. Hes not. So here we have unwitting investors funding the expansion of communist china while we have zero response to all of this aggression. So were going to be watching your work on this for sure but i want to move on and ask you about Foreign Affairs given your role there. The u. S. Reportedly reached a deal with iran to release five iranian americans held hostage. They have been hostage in iran, the Biden Administration will unfreeze nearly 6 billion of iran money, iran assets, and release a handful of iranian nationals serving prison sentences, congressman. Is this apples to apples here, what were doing and why are we giving iran the biggest sponsor of terrorism 6 billion . Its such a mistake to connect freeing americans and i work with Hailey Stephens of michigan, we cochair the americans detained abroad wrongly detained abroad coalition in the house, we want our americans brought home. But in my view, when you trade money for those americans like this in the case of the worst country in the middle east, iran, its a mistake because it just means that americans holding that blue passport are targets for authoritarians all around the world, that they know they can get sanctions, relief, money relief thats been frozen if they hold an american hostage. I think it sends the wrong message. I think we should always advocate for americans to come home and were thrilled these americans will come back to our shores but when you connect money to it, i think it just encourages more americans being detained abroad illegally. Maria well, your colleagues, pennsylvania congressman p dan meuser joined me yesterday on the program saying the house has enough evidence to move forward with an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Heres what dan meuser told me yesterday. We could walk and investigate at the same time. Yes, im all for an impeachment inquire rim i think the vast majority of republican members and those will get on board because its an inquiry. Were the only ones doing it doj, completely focused on helping the irs and disclaiming whistleblowers. Maria so congressman, what are we supposed to make of all of this . Where are you on an impeachment inquiry . Is this a priority for you when you get back in september . I think its a priority for the entire house conference. We have three detailed oversight investigations going on, mr. Comer is leading the one on hunter biden and the potential for the Vice President biden being connected to his sons corrupt activities with china, with ukraine, with russia. We also have jim jordan leading the oversight of the fbi and how to reform the fbi as relates to foreign surveillance. And finally, weve got mark greene from tennessee investigating mayorkas and the failures along the border. These are all priorities for the House Republicans to complete our work. Were going to follow exactly where the paper trail leads and take every legal action that we need to. So im pleased to see the hard work of comer, jordan and greene and the results thus far. We have more to do. Let me say this. Were doing this exactly right. Exactly the opposite of what adam schiff and nancy pelosi did in their mania in and around their hatred of president trump. This is actually following the paper trail of key investigations and make sure we do our work in these committees before we rush to any kind of removal from office from the president to the secretary of Homeland Security. Maria yeah, by the way, are you planning on holding back money to the fbi in one of those appropriations bills, given the stonewalling that weve seen on all of these investigations . Thats absolutely under discussion about particularly as you know this extraordinary expense they want to have a new building and spend over a billion dollars on that. But look, this is a Serious Investigation about how we get the top of the fbi back on target, being the respected Law Enforcement agency that we all grew up with and that we want it to return to. These arent the special agents in charge in our cities around the country. Hethis has been a problem at the top of the agency during the obama and the trump administration. We want to make sure we get the reforms we need and then theyll get the funding they need. Maria important stuff here, congressman. We so appreciate your time on all of it. Thank you. You bet, maria, thanks. Maria congressman french hill, see you soon, sir, thank you. Quick break and then sanctuary states facing the reality of the border crisis.

Now a look at some of the other headlines were watching this morning. Former president Donald Trumps legal team due in court today for a hearing on evidence in trumps 2020 election case, a judge will hear arguments on jack smiths proposal to prevent trump from sharing certain details with the public. Smith is proposing a january 2nd start date for a trial. It would effectively keep trump off the campaign trail ahead of the gop iowa caucus on january 15. Trump pleaded not guilty to every charge against him. Meanwhile this, six columbian men were arrested in connection with a Fatal Shooting of ecuadors president ial cand candidate. The vocal critic of corruption and organized crime was shot and killed leaving an Evening Campaign event in the Nations Capital of ke the to. The current president , then declared a nationwide state of emergency. Ecuador is set to hold its president ial election later this month and the guy going against the establishment gets murdered. Those are some of the other stories were following this morning. Meanwhile, Texas Democrat castro criticizing his state for using floating border barriers in the rio grande to deter migrants from crossing. Watch this. The state government, greg abbott are treating humans beings like animals. Its incredibly dangerous, incredibly inhumane. Its the reason ive said its bar barrick, because it is bbarbaric because it is. Maria joining me now is Christopher Olivarez. Its great to see you. Thanks for being here. You briefed the democrat lawmakers during their visit to the border, right . You told them what was going on. Right. Good morning, maria. Great to be with you. Yes, i got the opportunity to actually brief the delegation group and my whole concept behind it was to provide them facts, not to show them or describe a sanitized version of the border but to explain the reality and the impact of operation lone star. When Governor Abbott launched operation lone star the purpose was to stop the flow of mass migration between the ports of entry and focus on criminal activity. I provided statistical data to show the amount of drugs and fentanyl we seized in the state of texas that could have p potentially made it to some of the delegation members districts. The state troopers were able to stop the drugs from making into the cities and the states. I talked about the infrastructure, the marine barrier, all the different infrastructure thats been put in place because were trying to prevent and discourage illegal border crossings, i brought up facts that the marine barrier doesnt cause any harms, injuries or drownings. Weve seen over 1,000 death in the past few years before the marine barrier was put in place. Drownings continue to take place, regardless of the marine barrier. Since the marine barrier has been put in place, theres not been a single illegal crossing around the barrier. Its preventing illegal border crossings. Its preventing death. For the comments as far as barbaric an inhumane. Whats inhumane is the disastrous border policies that is causing Illegal Immigrants to risk their lives by crossing a Dangerous River because theres no Safety Measures put in place like we are doing in the state of texas. Maria its unbelievable. You have rape happening with dangerous drug cartels raping young women, people dying in the rio grande. We were talking about 7,000 people a day crossing into texas. Lieutenant, what is it today . What is the number today . , every day . Im glad you brought up that number. So right now just within the past couple days weve seen well over 6,000 illegal border crossings between the ports of entry. That tells you we are still seeing what we were experiencing pretitle 42. So right now thats not taking into account the number of people that are released at the ports of entry. Were seeing well over 7,000, 8,000 illegal border crossings which puts us back to where we were at pretitle 42. Were seeing unaccompanied children coming across the border, criminals coming across the river as well and of course the drugs. Nothing has changed. To me it seems based on what were seeing at the ground level, it seems the situation is getting much worse. Maria i want you to look at these images that we got from you, showing suspected Cartel Gunmen coming across the southern border in texas, packing body armor, rifles. This just days after a drone spotted armed smugglers in eagle pass carrying a long gun while guiding migrants across the rio grande. What are we looking at here . Maria, weve always seen some type of criminal activity whether an armed individual over the years when we talk about border security, but now that we have seen for the past two andahalf years the fact that these cartels have so much power, so much influence, the reason why they have that is because when you have an open border, theyre able to gain control not only in mexico but in the us, theyre able to expand their criminal enterprise throughout the United States so youre seeing armed gunmen with high powered rifles, full Tactical Gear coming across the border, to scout the area to bring across illicit drugs or high valued Cartel Members, suspected terrorists or any type of high value illegal im grant they want to bring across the river. This has become the new norm where were seeing individuals coming across the border. We saw this in the rio grande valley, eagle pass where armed smugglers guide groups of Illegal Immigrants across the border. I brought this up during the delegation visit, i had a congresswoman from houston actually asked me have we actually seen Cartel Members come across the border and i actually told her, yes, we have, this is a clear example of was we are seeing, this is the reality of the border. We have armed gunmen coming across the river unimpeded, that is a danger to Public Safety and national security. Thats why its so important to have policies and consequences in place that you have to go after the Mexican Drug Cartel the to stop the flow of illicit drugs coming across the border, more specifically fentanyl. Maria its unbelievable the dereliction of duty that this administration has done at the border. I mean, do you think then that were going to see more safe houses, more Human Trafficking in america, if theyre coming across, theyve got the weaponry, we dont know where theyre going, we have no idea who is coming into the country. Were looking at pictures of armed Cartel Members. You have a number of chinese nationals getting apprehended at the border, up 1300 . Now, who are those people . Are these military aged men or are these families that are trying to escape the ccp . What do you think . For the most part, what weve seen at the ground level, they are military age men coming across, we talk about chinese nationals. You have over 1. 7 million, these are just reported known got aways. Theres no telling right now who is in our country and by showing those images of armed gunmen and chinese nationals coming across as well, single adult males, have you no idea who is coming across the border. Thats why its so important, we talk about Public Safety and national security, with these individuals are in the country right now. You dont know where theyre at, what their intentions are, what their backgrounds are. Its important to have policies in place that a prevents this activity. We have to stop illegal border crossings at the river. Until then well see continue to see the criminal activity, criminal element taking place across the river. Thats why were going back to what i mentioned, when Governor Abbott launched operation lone star and the infrastructure along the river, thats to discourage illegal border crossings, stop illegal activity. It forced the National Spotlight on the border which is now bringing up conversations, also the sanctuary cities, the mayors that now have an outcry because theyre now receiving Illegal Immigrants in their cities, its bringing up the issue as far as the border which is a very important topic. The federal government needs to do their job and secure the border. Maria its incredible. Thats why every city has become a border city because youve got migrants everywhere. Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor is asking residents to open their doors, take in a my migrant family. If you have an interest room, a suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Safe housing and shelter the is our most pressing need. Become a sponsor family. Maria what . Governor maura heely declared a state of emergency earlier this week. Shes asking residents to open their doors, host a family. Its okay that you have no idea what theyre doing, where theyre going. You have no idea who they are or their background. Open up your home. Absolutely, maria. It shows the hypocrisy when Governor Abbott was bussing Illegal Immigrants to sanctuary cities. There was outrage and criticism. Since he launched the bussing program, texas bussed 30,000 Illegal Immigrants to sanctuary cities. We see that in a week. They need to watch what they say in terms of declaring themselves a sanctuary city. The federal government has been bussing Illegal Immigrants from day one. This is nothing new. Its starting to focus the border issue, bring up the issue again because its addressing whats happening now across the country because every state is a border state. Maria i mean, the other thing is that theres absolutely no plan for this. I was talking to a friend yesterday who told me that in new york her son is in school and they opened up the school to lots of Migrant Children but theres a language barrier. The kids cant speak english and theyre always fighting. She was getting calls every day for a period of time until she yanked her son out of the school, her son was getting hit, they were getting into fights, theres a language barrier. Theres not a plan to help the kids and help the families once theyre actually theyre just put in schools, put in neighborhoods, open up your home. Exactly.
