presidential race front and centre donald trump watching meetings with lawmakers and business leaders while president joe biden half the roadway and italy pledging more support for ukraine as he meets with world leaders. for the first time today, commenting on his son hunter. wait till you hear what he said. what did he say over there and who did and didn't show up for donald trump over here? what the president is no sane. welcome everybody glad to have everybody with us. let's begin first with mike emanuel on what we are hearing from the president. mike. >> good afternoon president biden speaking in italy a short time ago offering support for his son hunter following his conviction on gun charges in delaware. >> i am externally proud of my son hunter he is overcome an addiction and is 1 of the brightest, most decent men and no. i am satisfied that i'm knuckling to do anything i said i'd buy by the jury decision i will do that and not pardon him. >> was also asked about efforts to achieve a cease-fire in the middle east but some frustration >> i've laid out an approach that spins and doris by the u.n. security council, by the g7 by the israeli -- that's been endorsed -- the biggest hangup so far is hamas' refusing to sign on even though they have saluted something similar. whether or not comes to fruition remains to be seen. >> president biden and ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy signed a joint security agreement with mr biden sending this message to russia president vladimir putin in russia. >> you are taking 3 major steps at the g7 that collectively show prudent he cannot wait this out cannot divide us. -- putin. we'll be with ukraine until this or is over. >> another reporter asked another question about hunter. >> a long way from home no part in, no connotation. neo. >> neil: mike emanuel thank you. that everyone showing up but i saw it all go down. >> clay few people i would say neil a lot more than you think about what why years ago when pretty powerful republicans were telling me they didn't want to ever see trump come back to this town especially not the white house. now many of them were actually inside with him and throwing their entire support behind him. that's exactly what he wanted when he came here. he wanted to give them some sort of leadership in both chambers and try to unite these 2 sides ahead of the november election. he felt like he has to be able to send a message to american voters that republicans can be trusted to have control of the house and senate and there we'll be any chaos if they do when back than majorities are trump gave me an axis of interview a few moments ago a lot of news came out of including whether or not he chosen his vice president. i asked him if he knew who it was and he said he had a pretty good idea of who it was but he wouldn't tell me who course. he said he'll make that announcement during the republican national convention. he also answered a question about the errancy happening in milwaukee democrats making a big deal right now about 7 comments trump made about that city. apparently calling it horrible and trump togolese that he was actually talking about the crime in the city and also the election integrity issues in that city kirk i also asked him about his first time seeing senate minority leader mitch mcconnell after 4 long years of course we both know they had some bad blood. he saw him and met with them and had a very cordial meeting with him. then we also got to speak with o'connell himself. >> out a suit be with the former president? >> we had a good meeting. >> did you talk to him directly? >> yeah. >> so it looks like they're just going to let bygones be bygones and move forward for the sake of the party and the election. 1 more piece of news trump broke today and this was a big 1 if you're following the senate races of course republicans trying to flip the senate in their favour. there was some of the fit seemed between the rnc and the trump campaign. folks. and former maryland governor -- governor larry coven because he told voters to respect the manhattan verdict after trump was found guilty and convicted. i asked him you're trying to win back the house and senate are you going to support larry hogan and he said absolutely i will support him 100% and i said is it in endorsement and he said i guess no 1 has asked me but, yeah, i am endorsing him. so trump now officially endorsing larry hogan for senate. neil. >> neil: alright, interesting. is an easy pick up, easier than it would normally be to have it slip back to the popular governor taking a seat we will watch that. speaking of the maryland governor westmore the current holder of the office will drum you later on this show. i got things pretty much open for business there but i wonder what he makes of some political developments inside and outside marilyn he will join us again a little later. in the meantime we have the hell editor-in-chief observed all this political and overstuffed always good to see you. first off on what we heard out of donald trump today and the unity was showing among republicans not all were there and sought by far most rare there. when it came to senators i noticed nick romney did show up for the senate parallel but lisa mccaskey didn't. that is still a very high percentage of course mission o'connell saying the nice thanks he did afterwards. so where do we stand with the republicans support accurately in lockstep with the former president, what do you make of it? >> as you know trump is such an unconventional politician candidate for president he's doing the conventional thing here and he is sniper unit and the gop. they be in fractured. i thank the news that she got out of trump that he is endorsing him that is significant paired all beasley it's in trump's interest that the senate flipped to republicans which it likely will. but he wants as many republicans as he can get. so that is big. at thank he can make an argument there some democrats who are not fond of joe biden because of israel but the unity today was significant. that was the plan and i was actually impressed that mcconnell and trump basically shook hands and did a fist pump. >> neil: i'd be curious switching to joe biden first time commenting on hunter what did you make of it? >> the president has said that he would not pardon and today not in the sentence. i think that is just for right now honestly anneal. if it's after the election and it would be after the election if he wins or loses i think he could change his tune. the president has said he los his son and supports and and has done nothing wrong. if he can keep him out of prison i think he's going to do it. i think this is a unknot doing this right now and certainly were not seeing anything before the election weight until after. >> neil: it's an issue i hope to raise with the maryland governor about how jazz democrats are or not for a biden led effort to take back the white house and keep it in his control. and the way republicans are rallying around donald trump evil of some other misgivings at the beginning of the election year. so," publicans seen jazz. voters seem jazz. democratic voters not so much. you from reminding me in history that can change. how do you see it now? >> the enthusiasm is certainly with trump and that's part of the reason the polls are with trump. there was enthusiasm in 2020 and the democratic side that's not there now. that could change down the stretch will seal up the debates pierced certainly abortion will help democrats. bow a lot of other issues inflation a company and emigration trump has the advantage of most of them. that's why he's winning the battle grounds and that's why some of these states we've talked about like virginia their hampshire -- new hampshire and minnesota are up for grabs. trump wants to expand the map and for now he has. >> neil: india. for now. thank you very much bob. we will keep you posted on those develop men's and also keeping you posted on markets down the fourth day in a row. we had a market from report today on wholesale inflation with the goal the producer price index for the month of may that was negative month over month, year-over-year trucking along about 2.2% gain. that is closer to her at the fed wants it today but not close enough it would act not to have rates. probably will mark coming this year and thus not even giving. that was enough to propel these records. not showing any of that but it was well up and slows. off about 65. now back to political develop once on capitol hill including the gop led effort to go after the attorney general of the united states. chat has more. >> the household in contempt of congress but could congress take thanks a step further? i'll explain that next. unique style, cutting-edge innovation, and thoughtful details, inspired by you. this is the all-electric rz. this is lexus, electrified.

playing up chad what is the latest? >> afternoon neil republicans worry contempt of congress we'll not go far enough. summer vulcans may opt for more radical approach. something called inherent contempt that is where congress authorizes the arrest of garland itself. >> i like to see the attorney general archly bring for the evidence without having. >> you're expectation if they don't do that he will be arrested to be brought here? >> we are hoping it doesn't get to that but as you see as you stated he has not complied. we have scent 2 subpoenas they think they are above the law. >> carla did not comply with the simply -- subpoena the tapes of the interview conducted with president biden. under inherent contempt congress does not rely on the executive branch. you can post this out -- to hold him until he complies with a subpoena. >> that's an interesting scenario. apparently legally there is a precedent to do that. i'm all for. congress found various figures in contempt in the 17 nineties and early 18 hundreds. congress held an official from a commerce department that the willard hotel in washington for 10 days after failing to comply with a subpoena in the 1930s. democrats shrug off contempt. >> this is an attempt to relieve for them to discharge from the a spectacular flop. try to impeach secretary mariposa and that didn't work. there something to genet their troops but i thank the american public understands they completely run out of gas. >> promising to file an inherent contempt resolution 10 days after the first contempt foe. inherent contempt may lack the vote to pass. >> thank you. ladies welcomed the both of you. carry first off on this effort to go after the attorney general and even if they add a sort of repurposed line of attack where it is ago? >> the department of justice has artie put out a memo from the office of legal counsel which is basically the general counsel for the doj saying that criminal contempt of congress does not apply to executive branch officials who did not comply with the congressional subpoenas where executive privilege has been asserted. neo, you know i've expanse with this because these direct medications at doj i believe we made some similar arguments at the time. i think it's pretty clear the house doesn't want to turn over the audio for political reasons. they want that for political reasons. i think democrats have a harder argument to make given the fact the transcript has be released as to why they won't also include the audio. on the other hand out with the republicans wanting the audio out there personally i think it's just to let the american republican what we are seeing with our own eyes and ears every day. that is the very sad decline president joe biden. >> neil: without the audio it's a temper case to a safe sea we have the proof. when you read the transcript it is a little disturbing or worrisome but it is what it is. it looks like that's as far as this goes. what do you think we. >> i think joe biden absolutely does not want this audio release. and must be really bad because they are going and pushing the extent of the constitution to deny the release of this. they executive privilege is not limitless therapy in cases in the past with nixon were obviously there was an insertion of executive privilege overturned by the court. i think would be appropriate in his case to appoint a special counsel to look into this sort of thing but obviously any sort of referral to the doj for a contempt of congress charge is just going to go nowhere here. >> neil: let me switch gears if you don't mind. the president finally speaking about the hunter biden situation in this joint presser. a follow-up question from jackie heinrich that he has no intention of doing anything like that for the time being. and cut into the chase but it really cuts to what he is saying now. i stress now. what do you think we. >> he is not responding i believed questions about whether he will commute the sentence paragraph encodes possible button-down deal of course if dolmetsch wanted to become president he could pardon hunter biden in a grand acta set the country back on track. my concern with these wars and everything loosing the past few years i do fear we have decided into a culture of revenge politics with the justice department at the centre. and that is not the place for the justice department. it's not in every country. i think there's a possibility he will do that for hunter biden sentence but i think it said we've gone to this point at all. >> de thing again looking at the hunter biden situation you have to find out the sentencing and where this goes but let's say he is sentenced and then you have the tax case that comes up. technically with the sentencing there that would be the case he would have a prior history right when it comes to meeting potential on the tax charges. what you think we. >> i think absolutely hunter biden's biggest concern with the sentence is going to come if he is convicted in the tax case because he will be a convicted felon at that time pierce so certainly his exposure of the gun charges is a lot lesser because it's a first time a fence. the big question i think under the federal sentencing guidelines is whether he expresses contrition or remorse for his acts because it's is -- significant reduction in the mandatory sentences under those guidelines. so i don't know if he'll end up taking some sort of mobile plea deal to avoid the exposure of more very embarrassing information about his family but if he is convicted or if he takes a deal, the impact of the original collection we'll be vary significant on him. >> and the other option is unity service or something like that i'm getting ahead of myself maybe but jail isn't the only sentencing option right? >> that's right. he is also a nonviolent first-time offender. despite the fact in his buggy detail years and years of illegal drug use. i will say though and the tax case that's a serious case far more so especially for his father. the invocations for joe and the detailer could reveal right before the election acting could be vary problematic. so i'm wondering if under and his dad and legal team are currently having conversations about possibly pleading guilty to avoid all that. >> neil: interesting. katie think you will be monitoring all of this. also monitoring mother nature when it comes to what we're expanse in this country with a heat wave expected to hit half of americans but nothing we'll like what you're seeing

government marilyn coming up now 5 florida counters are under state of emergency as severe flooding continues and does not let up -- florida counties. are fox mother correspondent in miami i believe with the latest technical. >> reporter: neil an unbelievable scene here after a flash flood emergency has left parts of miami underwater. take a look at this 1 rode behind me there are dozens that looked just like it you'll notice a handful of cars in the distance that are stranded. sadly there are still lots of charts trying to make their way through here despite the fact you can tell this water is in some cases knee-deep if not more. it's truly a chaotic situation here. 1 that happened very quickly. a lot of rain in a very short period of time. fort lauderdale setting a record 10 inches, nearly that's how just yesterday. unfortunately we are expecting much more rain in the next or the 8 hours. that's why governor rhonda santos issued the emergency declaration or 5 counties across the sunshine state to really make sure people know if they have already seen what has happened, things can go from bad to worse very quickly. more than a dozen people rescued in miami alone not only from cars you see some had to ditch but others from their own homes. as you can tell water is seeping into the first story of many homes across the county. robin peers telling us his home started to flood wednesday afternoon and is still flooded today. he is not really sure where to go from here. >> i came just to look out. my sight is flooded but when you going on here the water kept rising. kept rising more to -- rising more to knee-high. more down you go it's about 3 feet. >> as you can imagine pack travel across the state has been a nightmare. sift delays both in miami and fort lauderdale international airport sometimes extending over 7 hours on top of hundreds of cancelled flights. we could see a repeat of that vary same scenario here neil by friday night. >> neil: wow 7 hours. nicole to give her a much. are fox mother correspondent appears weak but rick right with us are charmer and chief meteorologist. rick i understand the expression when it rains it pours but it keeps raining. and went we've got heat waves now to worry about what is going on here? >> so much. florida has been an interesting story in the past year. they've had a lot of drought recently but also parts of florida over the past 18 months or about 60 inches above normal. some spots have gotten so much rain and we have is heat the past week and now this rain that's brought to matures down which is good news but a lot of rain to be had. some spot -- spots have had over 25 inches and were not done it. probably another 3 to 5 for another people the ring will stick around with us a couple more days but the longer term pattern here 13 days into our tropical season and these colours here represent more than average water all throughout the gulf of mexico. that's not good news. actual water temperatures in some spots are over 90 degrees. close to the texas coastline 90 degrees. that's the kind of water temperature you see at the peak of hurricane season. this here represents the peak temperature average. we are only in june and our water to matures are so warm, where expecting to see inactive hurricane season this year. and in fact the system we are dealing with right now bringing all the reign in florida, not actually classified as any tropical system but we think later on next week we have a system potentially developing around the bay where exactly it will develop it's weigh too early to say but potentially talking about something of a tropical nature may be having some impact across other areas of the gulf coast the eastern parts of texas may be the central goal. meal in general were talking about this active season colorado state their revised forecast for this year. 23 named storms 11 of which hurricanes 5 major hurricanes. never seen forecast this high this early in the season. all indications are we will have a very big season which we don't want to hear especially when you look at what just happened florida. we've had flooding in the last month across parts of texas. get much more moisture in the flooding stories we'll be big for us. >> neil: and you are talking about this and warning about this when no 1 was. but thank you very much for that rick. by the way we've got more reports on houthi rebel attacks on ships in the gulf of aden. at the u.s. military saying there is been damage reported after 2 antiship cruise missiles hit a ukrainian owned cargo carrier. u.s. saying these cruise missiles were launched into the gulf in both missiles initially struck. we don't know how much damage there was but we do know it also struck a neighbouring carrier. we don't know the details of that. the damage has been reported and there were fires on board. the crew continues to fight the fires at least on more the ukrainian vessel. more details will keep you posted. you never want to lose sight of the things you love. some things should stand the test of time. long lasting eylea hd could significantly improve your vision and can help

fa administrator and it's income from both parties about how it's been handling some of these related but near disasters. hilary vann following at all on capitol hill. hillary. >> reporter: hello neil the fa taking part of the blame for the recent bone bungalows with their 737 asked on aircraft. fa administrator telling lawmakers on capitol hill they should have been more hands-on leading up to the january incident where a door plug blew off a boeing aircraft in midair. >> we can no longer afford to remain reacted we must develop a more dynamic oversight protocol that allows us to anticipate and identify risks before they manifest themselves as events. >> we also learn the faa is not ruling out a possible cover-up from boeing employees on how the faulty door plug got there the first place because the paper trail went poof. the faa administration telling lawmakers it does not exist. >> my understanding is that is true they do not exist. >> if i understand correctly the security camera footage was overwritten. boeing doesn't know who performed work on the door plug and no paperwork exists. is not alright? >> that's my understanding. >> that seems remarkable. and shocking. is their concern that the faa an employee at boeing is hiding -- hiding key information. >> that investigation is ongoing. >> is not just the max jet caught up in controversy, now the companies 787 dreamliner having issues. boeing is investigating the fleet after discovering thousands of fasteners were incorrectly installed on fuselages. boeing said our 787 team is checking fasteners in the side body area of some undelivered 787 dreamliner airplanes to make sure they meet engineering specifications. the in-service fleet can continue to safely operate but boeing's troubles are making even lawmakers pessimistic about the future of the company. >> they are really pretty damn important. i have my concerns if they continue the way they are going. that they'll be able to continue to exist. >> reporter: and neil at appears boeing has some work to do to win that consumer confidence because for the second consecutive month they have had 0 orders on their 737 jet they used to be their best selling plane. now it's not selling at all. neil. >> neil: alright hillary thank you for that. hilary vaughn in washington. and he remembers the collapse of the francis got key bridge in baltimore less than 3 months ago. a lot of people were thinking this will be maybe a multiyear comeback to get the entire port reopen. our member talking with the governor wes moore at the time and he had a very aggressive time schedule that he said no, and months. a lot of people talking years. i thought he was working and tired and overwhelmed. sure enough today we find out that is indeed the case. the full real -- reopening of the port of baltimore less than 11 or 12 weeks after this disaster. the governor kind of join us. >> rate to be with you neil p. think is so much. >> neil: it's remarkable i'm ever thinking and trying not to say you are crazy governor. that's an aggressive timeline. but you did it. just tell me, when you talk about it beautifully reopen what does that mean? >> people have learned not to underestimate the resilience of the people of maryland. we get big things done here because you are right that morning when we had a ship the size of 3 football fields now trapped in the middle of that channel with thousands of tons of steel on it and in the bottom of the river. people said it could take up to a year but what pupils have a tickle of them once we got done in 11 weeks. what it basically means now is that we healthful access to the federal channel which is 700 feet wide, 50 feet deep. it allows all the ships that were coming to the port of baltimore to be able to go about their business. why it's so important as the port of baltimore is the largest port in this country for new cars, heavy trucks, agricultural equipment packet spices and sugars and cold. 2 thirds of the country that's their goods from the port of baltimore. so having it reopened is not just important for the workers, we are talking thousands of workers now back to work, but it's also incredibly important. >> i do wonder given what happened in that board are there are a lot of shippers concerned about going there. you cleared up 50,000 tons of steel but others in the interim have been finding other ports and other destinations. how do you get the word out? that it's fine? you can come back now because many have adjusted to new life and new ports. >> is a great question and 1 of the things we worked on from the earliest days they were already reaching out to all of these port workers and companies that were doing business with the port of baltimore. impact we started something called the arlen tough baltimore strong alliance which is now over 180 businesses, philanthropic organizations who of all made certain commitments. 1 of them was people doing work in the port of baltimore they agreed not to lay off their workers and the other was for people who had to reroute business temporarily in that time, once the port was reopened and they committed to bringing their business back to the port of baltimore. i am thankful to the fact people are concerned about the unappointed rate and what could have impacted having such a shock on our economic system would have. i look at these numbers all the time and we are proud to report even in the month of april not only did maryland continue to have for the 12 straight month the lowest employment rate in the country, in the month of april we archly gained 7000 jobs. this is really a pretty remarkable story about how despite taking on 1 of the most catastrophic events in our state history of the state did a beautiful job working in partnership with federal partners and local partners in the private sector. preventing an aspirational way. >> neil: people are very impressed. you can focused on that and try to get back to business by your democratic party's tv and recruited to help the candidate in the north carolina governor's race. you said you will put you're focus right now you said is on the state and dealing with matters in the state. but you're name often comes up sir on a list of possibilities should joe biden quit the race because still some polls and operatives try to find an alternative to it. what you think of that? >> there is no need for an alternative. i think about what happened even with this crisis where, you know, at 2:00 in the morning my phone right to let me know we know how to situation that was not economically but that there were 6 maryland residents unaccounted for. lee immediately began to mobilize and major traffic was stopped and got divers in the water to look to save lives. people were hours from waking up and realizing the mode they use to get to work was now gone. but i can tell you this now, at 3:30 am that was the time i got the first phone call from the white house. they said listen we are going to be with you every step of the way. and they have been. so, i got everything that they needed to say about how important this present is but in times of crisis and emergency. i remember that mourning i was up in front of the cameras speaking to the people of my estate trying to issue them calm and certainty about the future. i know that the president was on the phone with me giving me the exact -- >> neil: so you are pressed with him he was impressed with you. the talk that the president should step down he is not up to it and all that but it keeps happening it we keep hearing party insiders are really concerned that they're stuck with joe biden i don't know if it's fair or right it just as. so you're name does come up. if it did get to a point where the parties just said he is not the guy, what would you do? >> we are not going to get to that point and there is no reason to. there's no reason to get to that point when you have a person who now has the lowest unemployment rate on record. no reason to get to that point when you look in the state of maryland since i've been the governor we're 43rd and unemployment 9
