Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Special 20240703

When these freed hostages land overnight in the d. C. Area, they will be immediately offered help from the Defense Department at adjusting to life on the outside. And so far we havent heard anybody say anything but positive things that americans are heading home but there are a lot of complaints about the deal to get them here. Ransom payment 6 billion. A billion bucks per prisoner. President biden says today five innocent americans imprisoned in iran are finally coming home after many months of difficult and principled american diplomacy. Americans since held 2015 says im dying to find out what gadgets now exist. When i was taken hostage the iphone 6 s had just come out. You cannot imagine what an 8 year itch feels like. The returning americans have already spoken to President Biden and Secretary Of State blinken. I can tell you that it was for them, for me an emotional conversation. To get the Five Americans home, President Biden worked to unfreeze 6 billion in iranian funds. That are only supposed to be used to buy food or medicine. We have the means and mechanisms to make sure that that happens. That leads to new concerns about an easy work around in tehran. That frees up 6 billion of iranian money for terrorism, for supporting russia and everything else. I worry that this is really greasing the skids to back into a new nuclear deal. Five iranians freed from u. S. Jails were charged with offenses from failing to register as a Foreign Agent to buying parts that could be used in missiles. The dealmaking between d. C. And tehran appears to be limited to hostages. For now, no plans to try to reenter the iran nuclear deal. It would be great if we could diplomatically get to a place where we were back in 2015. And im not saying that diplomacy is completely off the table. Its just not the focus right now. Peter President Biden is already in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly but has no Public Events on his schedule today, including at the United Nations General Assembly. He did just arrive at his first meetings of the day though. Its a pair of fundraisers, including one that is being billed as broadway for biden. John . John we will be watching that big speech tomorrow before the General Assembly. Peter doocy for us at the white house tonight. Peter, thank you. We are now just a week and a half away from a potential partial shutdown of the federal government if republicans and democrats cannot agree to legislation to keep offices open and services running. G. O. P. Members who control the house are said to be getting jittery at the prospect of being blamed for another negotiating failure. Our senior Congressional Correspondent chad pergram is on capitol hill tonight. Chad, a lot going on there. John, good evening. Lawmakers are no closer to avoiding a shutdown. G. O. P. South dakota representative Dusty Johnson and other centrist republicans crafted a bill to fund the government for a month and enhance border security. But the plan lacks the votes. Nothing happens easily around here. The reality is that we cant shut down government and we must secure the border. The plan met a frosty reception from democrats. Last nights proposal in the house can be boiled down to two words slap dash reckless. Slap dash because its not a serious proposal for avoiding a shut down. House will be in order. The house has only approved one spending bill this year. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy tried to get his members to pass spending bills since july. That failure means the house loses leverage to the senate. Is that part of the idea to demonstrate to them that theyre going to get jammed by the senate if they dont move something over here and strengthen your position . The best way this system works is we pass our individual bills. Unfortunately, i have some members denying those come up. We are going to keep working through that. Mccarthy said a Government Shutdown impedes impeachment. G. O. P. Indiana representative Victoria Spartz is retiring, but she called mccarthy, quote weak. Mccarthy rebuked spartz. The one thing i learned in life, anybody who criticizes you has never worked harder than you. I mean, if victoria is concerned about fighting stronger, i wish she would run again and not quit. A cocktail democrat said g. O. P. Members could renew old funding on a temporary basis to avert a shutdown that could draw the ire of the right. Mccarthy says he is not worried that opponents could try to remove him as speaker. John . A lot of rhetoric being thrown there on capitol hill. Chad pergram on capitol hill. John hunter biden is suing the irs over the release of his tax records. The president s son is facing the prospect of being charged for tax crimes and other violations relating to his business affairs. Correspondent david spunt is at the Justice Department tonight and has the latest from there for us. David . Hi, john, good evening. Hunter biden is going on the offense just days after he was indicted on three Felony Counts for owning a gun back in 2018. This suit specifically takes aim at the two irs whistleblowers who sounded the alarm about his tax case. Hunter bidens attorney abbe lowell also making the claim today in a separate letter to congress that hunter biden is actually owed a refund for overpaying his taxes. The lawsuit challenges whether the two irs whistleblowers should even be considered whistleblowers. It argues that gary shapley and Joseph Ziegler in public statements and interviews quote blatantly violated section 6103 of the irs code by engaging in a campaign to publicly smear mr. Biden. But gary shapley said on this program he was just doing his duty. Every taxpayer deserves to be treated fairly and, you know, it was my Oath Of Office to make sure that that happens. The lawsuit says hunter biden has all the same responsibilities as any other american taxpayer but similarly, mr. Biden has no fewer or lesser rights than any other american citizen and no Government Agency or Government Agent has free reign to violate his right simply because of who he is. One of shapleys attorneys today said his client did absolutely nothing wrong. This lawsuit is just a frivolous smear to try to block the whistleblowers or any potential whistleblowers from coming forward. There were no violations. The whistleblowers followed the statute. Mark lytles cocounsel said earlier today he believes u. S. Attorney and now special counsel david weiss retaliated against whistleblower gary shapley. Now, john, this lawsuit, as i mentioned, comes just days after hunter was indicted on three counts involving his purchase of a gun in 2018. May not be his only legal problem in a federal courtroom. Weiss in a court filing announced that hunter could face tax charges, perhaps in california where he currently lives or washington, d. C. Where he once lived before. Well follow it, john . John every day something new. David spunt for us from the doj. Thank you. The white house is getting involved in the strike against detroit automakers, even if the parties involved do not want the interference. This comes as Union Leaders and Company Negotiators continue to talk. Fox Business Correspondent Grady Trimble is in wayne michigan tonight. He has the upgrade for us. Hi, grady. Hi, john. The Big Three Automakers and the United Auto Workers were back at the bargaining table today. By all accounts though, progress has been slow. At this ford plant, Picketing Workers have been blocking semitrucks from pulling in. At one point police came to tell Striking Union members they have to let the trucks through. Workers held some trucks up for a few minutes but eventually let them pass. The picketers have welcomed with open arms several democratic lawmakers who want to walk with them in solidarity. President biden says he is sending two Administration Officials to detroit to help with the negotiations. But, uaw president shawn fain and the workers weve talked to tell us they dont want it. I say we dont need his help. Why not . Because we are a united group of people. We dont need the president s help. Its our fight. Let us fight our fight. Thats all we want. We dont want to hurt the economy. We dont want to be here not getting paid peanuts its our fight. Fight for our life. I think we can negotiate our contract with the Company Without the government getting involved. In an update this evening, stellantis says todays discussion was constructive and focused where we could find Common Ground to reach an agreement that provides a bridge to the future by enabling the company to meet the challenges of electrification. Right now the union is targeting three plants. One at each of the Big Three Automakers but the uaw is threatening that it could scale up this strike, depending on how negotiations are going but it hasnt said where or when. John .

Bret while saudi is making progress in a goal to make a Big Green Energy transition, oil still drives revenues here and there are a lot more revenues now after a recent Production Cut in oil. The Energy Minister joined me from calgary and the World Petroleum congress. What we are doing is has nothing to do with what we are doing is making sure that we reduce volatility of the market.

This is a concession to John Fetterman who prefers extremely casual attire. Correspondent Mark Meredith has got a look for us tonight. [gavel] the senate will come to order. In a place where celebration is celebrated tonight a change. Chuck schumer says instead of a formal dress code, now senators are able to choose what they wear on the senate floor i will continue to wear a suit. Schumer has yet to say what sparked the change but critics blame one man. Welcome back. Pennsylvanias John Fetterman is wellknown for Sporting Hood notice and shorts instead of suits and ties except on the senate floor as was required. The 54yearold even prides himself on standing out. I feel its, you know, a little more freedom which should be bipartisanship. You know what im saying. But i dont know why the right side seems to be losing their minds over it like aw dogs and cats are living together and like the world is spinning off its axis. I think its a good thing. Fettermans fellow is senators are outraged over efforts to ease senate standards. To see it completely downgraded, no dress code now i just think its another step in the wrong direction. Ooooh dont do it. Fetterman continues to defend his Clothing Choices even last week responding to one republican lawmaker criticized him posting instead of crying about how i dress instead get your s. Together and do your job, bud. In recent years reporters have spotted lawmakers from both parties sporting a more casual look but some fear its a slippery slope. Big issue is there is a lack of respect and continuing decline in respect that the members themselves and the people who work there and the people who watch the senate from afar have for this institution. Senate dress code changes do not apply to staffers and any others who may be on the senate floor meaning they will still have to dress up and dont know if the casual code is going to stick around forever or another Majority Leader comes in power and changes. Cspan will be more fun to watch. John i think he is going to be an army of one when it comes to extremely casual wear but we will see mark, good to see you dont, thank you.

One teen faces murder charges after that video surfaced and police are still searching for the passenger who was filming as the duo drove right into this innocent biker. The Dangerous Joy Ride left dad husband and former police chief dead. Watch. Ready . [bleep].

This happened back in mid august when andreas was out riding his bike. He was only a few miles from his house and thought he would be back within an hour but he was killed. He spent 35 years in Law Enforcement according to Community Members ohio spoke. To say serving as a police chief out in california before he moved to vegas for a remote job. From talking to his daughter and his wife, as he was just a great downtoearth guy who, you know, was doing the right things and maybe the wrong place at the wrong time. Moments before that fatal crash, investigators tell me the teen driver slammed into another car. The duo then posted that now viral clip on social media after driving off, leaving hobbes on the road to die. More than 100 Community Members came to show support for the probst family. Left a Bike Crash Site to raise awareness for cyclists safety. He was doing textbook. He was doing everything perfect. I think this particular situation probably is riding on most of us more as to what is going on in society. Thats what the Community Members are trying to figure out. Social media clip that changed the case to a mom Homicide Investigation after two weeks when it surfaced and the community and nation are outraged. John . John we will see what happens when that goes to court Alexis Mcadams for us. Thank you. Authorities in los angeles say they have arrested a person accused in the Ambush Murder of a sheriffs deputy over the weekend. 8 year veteran Ryan Clinkunbroomer was struck down. A dark gray Toyota Carolla pulled alongside him stopped and then you see it speed away. Kevin salazar was taken into custody after hours long standoff. Deputy clinkunbroomer was 30 years old. People absolutely loved and adored him see, he wasnt just one of our deputy sheriffs, he comes is he third generation. Is. The deputy had become engaged to be married just four days ago. Owner of a Day Care Facility in the bronx and a tenant in that building are under arrest tonight. Theyre accused in the death of a 1yearold boy and the exposure of three other children of what is believed to be fentanyl. Correspondent c. B. Cotton is in the bronx tonight. Why were their drugs in the day care. As officers searched for the husband, the derek owner stayed silent as she walked out of a new York City Police precinct sunday. Her day care now under investigation. Inside she rented a room to her husbands cousin, coraliss toe brito, both now charged with murder, manslaughter, and multiple counts of assault and drug offenses. But her attorney insists she didnt know about the kilo of fentanyl or the Drug Packaging devices officers found inside. Four children who were dropped off friday morning would later be showing signs of an Opioid Exposure or unresponsive. All were given narcan but only three survived. She called the cops. Would you call the cops if you know there was fentanyl in your apartment . Of course not. One family is now grieving, after 1yearold nickel also a Dom Neitschze died. As a makeshift memorial grows for the boy, some wonder how did the day care pass inspections, including a surprise one earlier this month . It is a real wakeup call for individuals who have opioids or fentanyl in their homes. The mere contact is deadly for an adult and is extremely deadly for a child. The day care opened this past january and photos captured from the inside reveal opened food strewn across counter tops and only a few kid supplies. Jammed into the tight space. And late this evening, we learned lab results for three children have, indeed, tested positive for fentanyl. While New York Citys mayor eric adams says inspectors never noticed any sort of drug lab here inside this day care the Chief Officer commits his inspectors arent trained to test for this sort of deadly substance. The two suspects in this case have pleaded not guilty and are currently being held without bail. A grand jury is expected to convene some time this week. John . Wow, what a tragedy. C. B.

With comcast business. It is. Is it possible to use predictive monitoring to address Operations Issues . We can help with that. Can we provide health care virtually anywhere . We can help with that, too. Is it possible to survey foot traffic across all of our locations . Yeah absolutely. With the advanced connectivity and intelligence of global secure networking from comcast business. Its not just possible. Its happening. From day one, our sanctions have clearly and indeed always exempt the use of resources for humanitarian purposes. We have absolute confidence in the process in the system thats been set up. We all know money is fungible and then the president of iran just came out and said im going to spend it however i want to. And of course he is guess where its going to go . Its going to go into terror proxy operations. John five american hostages held in iran are on their way back home and landing soon. Lots of debate about how it all came together. Bretth lets bring in our panel brit hume, Juan Williams and ben domenech editoratlarge for the spectator and host of the ben domenech podcast on fox news radio. So, a lot of debate over whether or not freeing up the 6 billion was a ransom or not. Morgan ortagus was on with us earlier. She said either way the deal gave iran access to money they wouldnt have access to. Listen here. They didnt have that money because it was frozen because of sanctions. So you can say, you can argue that im not lifting sanctions. And maybe youre not technically lifting them. But if you are not enforcing them and giving iran the world leading State Sponsor of terrorism 6 billion, then were just arguing semantics. John start us off undisclosed location and whether or not it was american money. They still got cash for the hostages. Thats exactly right. Hostage swap is defensible and easily. So this is the kind of thing you have to do to get your people back which is a matter of matter of some urgency. Throw in 6 billion freed up which was frozen which the iranians have made clear they are going to do whatever they want and because as has been repeatedly pointed out, money is fungible. Effectively the same thing as giving them 6 billion they didnt have before that they are free to spend on the maligned activities in which they are continuously engaged. Its great to have five hostages coming back home, but to brits point, you know, is this going to encourage more Hostage Taking and was there a different way to do this . This administration seemed to be negotiating from a point of weakness. Well, two points to be made, one is the United States, in terms of our values, we care about hostages. So thats always going to put us at disadvantage. Not only visavis the iranians but i think the Wall Street Journal reporter being held by the soviet union. Think about our behavior, the deal we made for brittney griner. The russians not the soviet union. Though i agree. Give it a minute. Give putin a little more time. He will be back. We are always at disadvantage because we care about it. We are always going to come out on the wrong end of that deal. But, to brits point, i dont like the deal. If its in isolation. But, my thought is maybe this is part of a larger going on as you know the Biden Administration is trying to put something together between the vawdz and israelis, the saudi are and iranians with always rivals if not enemies. We havent heard a lot today from israelis on this deal. Which is a surprise. Normally they would be quite upset. It may be that there is something larger taking place and maybe we will put it in that context. John did you want to comment on this or go to republicans and abortion. I was going to say i think you are correct, juan in your analysis. I just think that we dont have a lot of faith in this administration in this white house and this president when it comes to his dealings in the past and on Iranian Regime on this point as well i would agree with morgan this is something that looks in the aggregate like a very bad move republicans campaign 2024 and the Abortion Issue. Calderon desantis signing the six week abortion ban a quote terrible mistake. Brit, the candidates are all over the place on this while the democrats have a pretty coherent message. Brit the republicans having won the big win that they had waited for for years when the Supreme Court overturned roe v. Wade have had now terrible point figuring out where to land as a party on the issue of abortion and democrats have clearly gained ground on it. Mr. Trumps statement over the weekend seems to me that he is about as purely political as anything you could imagine. His distances on this issue all along have been that way. Its now calculated that the issue is hurting the republicans and would hurt him if he adhered to it as his partys nominee. So he flipped on it and is he now clearly proAbortion Rights. At least is he banning abortion at any stage of pregnancy. Its interesting to see how people who have stuck with him on the religious right, evangelicals and so on will feel about this. Its going to hurt him. Bret. So far nothing he has said hurt his standing with republicans. One one of the reasons losses in the house in the 2022 midterms is because of the abortion message. Is this going to be a way for them to potentially get the house back . I think it is. Look, you know, we have been going over all the last few days that dont look good for joe biden. And one thing we dont factor in is not only donald trump as a as the opponent in the general election, but the impact of the Abortion Decision that Dobbs Decision by the Supreme Court that continues continue roil, es democratic voters especially famous suburban females. John does this Spell Trouble for republicans . Every single governor that signed a Heartbeat Bill the same bill that the former president criticized got reelected. All of them. Republicans have passed these bills in states that were even purple states and they have done so successfully and they have done so with people who would advocate for them. Him undermining them at this moment at a moment when the prolife cause believes, you know, that they are very much indebted to the former president for achieving this historical, you know, aspect of reversing roe is something i think that is essentially going to test how much those voters believe that they can get out of him if they believe this term is going to be about building his own legacy or in some ways trying to find some peace with the New York Times readers that he very much wants to be held in by i think there is an actual opening there for conservatives who are willing to stand up on the Abortion Issue willing it take it to the president on this issue. Basically you cant trust him another four years the way you invested in him last time around. Only four months and little bit to go. See if anybody can make inroads on this issue. Stay with us, folks, coming up next, the spending, the Senate Dress Code and jitters about a Government Shutdown. Later on shark bite mans, but man saves shark . That, you need to see.

The United States senate is the worlds most important deliberative body and to see it completely downgraded, no dress code now i just think its a step in the wrong direction. A side super excited about it hate wearing a tie and i would rather be in a blue jeans and a white tshirt but the fact is you do dress for the job. Bret and were back for the panel now across the street for us. They are changing the dress code in the senate no longer will you have to wear a coat and tie or suit pants when you are on the floor of the senate. Brit, there are more than a few people who are saying this is a nod to the casually attired John Fetterman. As a man who is always decked out in sar torial splendor why dont you start us off here. Fetterman is a man had difficulty because of the severe stroke that he suffered you is hospitalized for a long period of time aftereffects of the stroke. You would think people would want him to think he is truly fit for the job. I dont know why he thinks its a great idea for him to show up on the senate floor dressed like the man who came to fix the air conditioning. These are gym clothes he wears and i dont think it adds to his credibility and i dont think it adds to the senates credibility. There is such a thing as decorum. It means fitness but it doesnt mean fitness in the way that he apparently thinks. John i want to put up on the screen here pictures of four members of congress in the senate and the house ben ray lujan, chris val van hollen, mark kirk and tim johnson. These are all members of congress who had strokes. Tim johnson had an aneurysm that led to a massive stroke. And they came back from their strokes and they continued to wear a coat and tie. Why should John Fetterman be able to go in his gym clothes to the floor of the senate. I dont make the connection between the fact that he had a stroke and what. John because people are saying this is what is he comfortable in. This highlights his recovery . Juan i dont buy that argument. John thats what his colleagues are saying. Listen this is the way he likes to dress. I dont think its because of the stroke. John why should he get a bi . I dont think he should get a bi. In fact green and i were talking about this in the green room. I dont think all traditions need to be protected if you are in the gallery on the senate floor its a workplace. You expect people to dress in a decent, respectful fashion, so do i sound like an old geezer . Okay. But im telling you, thats the way i feel about it, john. Sincerely. Whats next bare feet just walk in there. Flipflops are slides next best thing. I dont want to see senator in crocs. Ridiculous. Crocs a step up for some people. Look, this is completely unacceptable. And, look, lets have a higher standard at some point that expects, you know, our senators to adopt a certain level of decorum and i think that this is absurd. The idea that its being done in order to further the way that he feels about himself, if thats the rationalization is absolutely ridiculous. The. I do think we can do away with powdered wigs. Thats fine. John i dont know, bret, you still have a couple of those in your closet, dont you . [laughter] brit i do. I do. John there was time when they looked really good on people. Thank you, gentlemen. They still wear them in the courtrooms in england. John thats true they do. Thankfully they dont wear them across the street. Thank you, all, see you again very soon. And finally tonight, a Special Report salute. Oh, my. Babe, its too dangerous. John A Massive Mako Shark washed ashore. She said hey, thats do dangerous. Drag the shark back into the water. It thrashed and threw rescuers aside as they tried to help. Stay away from the business end ever the shark. On lookers watched as the Shark Flailed at the air showing his teeth several times during the struggle, it did swim away though after a few minutes of being back in the water and the men received a Standing Ovation from the crowd. You know, a thing like that, Win A Darwin Award but thankfully for them it turned out better. Tomorrow on Special Report bret baier anchors the show from Riyadh Saudi Arabia with the inside look at the kingdom. On Wednesday Bret is going to head the first Major Television interview with the crowned prince bin al salmon. Thanks for watching Special Report, the ingraham angle. Laura lock them up. Thats the focus of tonights angle. All right. Rule of them, liberals dont care about crime, unless its committed by people they dont like or people they disagree with, politically. Remember, they threw the book at the j 6 defendants. Many were given years in jail. The judge also gave him quite a significant sentence, believing it amounted to a
