Definitely fair to say, dana. Now we have learned that when hunter biden was a featured speaker at the Dnc Convention this summer, he was already being probed this fall by the feds for his tax affairs and questions they had related to overseas business that hes never really expressed much regret about. What do you say to people who say this is exactly what they hate washington. By the president s son can make money by the way let me tell you, i made a mistake in retrospect as it related to creating any perceptions that were wrong, and so therefore im taking it off the table. Im making that commitment. Lets see if anybody else makes that commitment, but thats the commitment im making. Biden has promised not to involve his son and his administration but his taxpayerfunded Transition Team issued a statement on his behalf, plus a statement that he is proud of his son. He is not a subject of this investigation comes a lets pause briefly and joe has long and passionately claimed that he didnt even know how hunter made his money. How many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings . I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. And biden continued in the clip to say, to tell me to ask the right questions. But we know that when that clip was shot, the feds had already been investigating hunter biden for at least nine months. Dana peter doocy, thank you very much. Coverage continues with hillary vaughn. You took a deep dive into this. I did, dana. We went on a hunt as to what hunter biden was up to and who he was doing business with before this investigation began and it led to a Senate Report looking at Hunter Bidens overseas business deals that lead to two conclusions. He had business relationships with chinese officials linked to the communist government and it turned out millions of dollars in cash flow. If all of his business relationship with two chinese businessmen, whose connections to the Chinese Communist government were extensive. In 2017 of september, hunter opened a line of credit with his righthand man under the business name hudson west three. That same account had credit cards given to hunter biden, his brother, and his wife sarah. The three of them use those credit cards to spend 100,000 on things like restaurants, hotels and apple products. Between august 2017 and september 2018, that business and frequent payments, totaling 4. 7 million in just one year and during that same time, Hunter Bidens law firm sent 20 wire transfers totaling 1. 3 million to joe bidens brothers Consulting Firm in several of the transactions were detailed in this report and flagged for potential criminal financial activity. That was included in this report before the news broke of this investigation. Dana . Dana hillary vaughn, important information. Thank you so much. Lets bring in our panel now. Karl rove and andy mccarthy. Lets start with you on the legal angle and is this just about taxes . We dont know, dana. I think we can safely say they are certainly looking at more than just taxes and the reason i say that the news that broke prior to the election was seized in delaware on the basis of the grand jury subpoena. We know that two of Hunter Bidens former Business Partners have been convicted in a fraud case in the Federal District of new york in which his name came up in the proof but he was not charged and i dont think he was designated as an unindicted coconspirator either, but that would be the kind of thing, that was about the partnership he formed that would obviously grab their attention. We know that this guy, bobulinski, witness connected to the china stuff. Any marriage prior to the election that he reportedly was interviewed for five or six hours by the fbi. Dana let me stop you there and play a little sound, lets play a little sound and get carl to react but this is bobulinski in an interview with Tucker Carlson on whether he believes he knew what was going on. Speak of the Vice President said he had no knowledge of his business dealings. That is a blatant lie appeared in the debate he made a specific statement around questions around this from the president and ill be honest wi, emil stood up and screamed liar and walked out because i was shocked that after four days that they prepped for this that the biden family is taking that position to the world. Dana what about the politics of this, given that twitter, for example put a hold on the hunter biden story. Many people ran with the story that the whole hunter biden issue was russian disinformation and now you get confirmation that there actually was a federal probe underway. Several. Delaware apparently is looking at them, potential money laundering. The Southern District of new york is looking apparently according to news reports into potential security fraud. Western district of pennsylvania is looking into brother james biden for the president elects brother for involving Hospital Management company. To me, the problem with this all goes back to this close, intense defense that president elect biden puts up every time hunter biden gets mentioned. We know about devon archer, who andy referenced. He was the guy who got his business partner, hunter biden, on the board of maries mama about five weeks after devon archer joined, he brings him aboard. When he was brought up to the Vice President , Vice President biden coming at the same answer every time, hunter did nothing wrong. Clearly he was trading on his fathers name and position when he went on the maries motherboard and when he got the china deal influent on air force two and so forth now we are starting to get details that we saw in the Senate Report, what exactly did hunter biden do for his law firm to get 4. 7 million . In one year. I mean, then he turns around and gives a million three to his uncles Consulting Firm. There is a lot of sneaky stuff going on here. Not exactly how you like to come into office for president elect biden. Dana id say. And this information just came in and i dont really have time for, but let me just read it to people, there had been some reporting from other outlets but a source familiar with the investigation into hunter biden, they say that the probe was never paused. This was reported late last night. The investigation was in the covert phase but it was never paused. This is coming in from our producer down there in the justice department. Maybe just one quick comment on that, it wasnt paused but it was covert. Now its not covert anymore. At a certain point you have to go public because you need to subpoena documents and interview witnesses. He would like to put that off as long as you can but when the time comes its unavoidable that people find out the investigation is ongoing. Dana right. And you think they are speeding that up at all because of president elect biden . I would think that they either have to charge him or name a special counsel and they probably want to get that done by january 20th because then if its an investigation that should be done, that makes it difficult to go away. Dana im so glad we had both of you on, karl rove and andy mccarthy, thank you. Next we have the fallout over democratic congressman Eric Swalwell and his tie to a suspected chinese spy.

Dana 17 states now joining President Trump and texas in challenging Election Results in battleground states. John roberts has the details on this lawsuit. Good afternoon to you. We are now up to 18 states that have joined with texas and the attorney general kim paxton and going to the Supreme Court to try to overturn the results of the election. Arizona being the latest. Right now, i was told the lunch started a little bit late, about 1 15 and that will be going on for some time. Asking the Supreme Court to overthrow the results, paxton claiming that those states harmed voters in texas by adopting mass mail and voting rules that were starting across the county. Asking the Supreme Court to block electors as they are scheduled to on monday. Listen in. We are asking that the court basically put this back into the hands of the state legislature, as was commonly done for years in this country by certain state legislatures. All four have legislatures, houses, and senates controlled by republicans so its quite conceivable that they threw them back to the states that the state would cede trump electors rather than biden electors which could potentially overturn the results of the election. Arkansas has joined the texas petition. What we can have our legal votes that have been cast in states and essentially diluting the votes, they should not be diluted because of a legal votes cast in other states. There was not initially supposed to be a topic of conversation at the lunch today but President Trump joined the lawsuit yesterday, or at least sought permission from the Supreme Court to join so its probably a big topic of conversation. They have to file with the Supreme Court by 3 00 today and its possible we could hear from the Supreme Court whether or not it will take up the case later today. We will see. Dana we will Pay Attention to all that, thank you. Calls from republicans growing louder for democratic congressman Eric Swalwell to be removed from the House Intelligence Committee after a bombshell report that a chinese spy cozied up to the democratic lawmaker. This is a National Security threat. The Intel Committee did not meet in normal chambers. They meet in whats called a skip to protect from people listening in on what they are talking about. They are getting secrets that other members of Congress Never are able to see. And now we have Eric Swalwell, who has been swindled by the chinese. Dana lets bring in our panel, i have to say to you both, one thing i feel nobody keeps mentioning as he threw his hat in the ring to run for president last year, i mean, did he think that this wasnt going to come out at some point . Anyway, jason, let me get your take. You are a former member of congress. Was that shocking to you and do you think should be removed from the committee . I do think he should be removed, i do think he is often delusional and he has spewed a lot of lies coming out of that committee over a long period of time but more importantly, why take the risk . I mean, 435 members, a very small group of people handpicked on the democratic side by nancy pelosi, why take the risk by continuing to put him in there . He brings no credentials, he has no Language Skills that are impressive, he doesnt have a background in intelligence, he doesnt have any prequalifier that says he really should be on that committee so why take an ongoing risk when we know there is a threat, he did buy into it and there is a swirling question, and to Kevin Mccarthys point, its in intelligence risk that we as a country dont need to take. Dana what do you hear, if anything, from california democrats. At this point not much has been set, i think the surprise here has been the willingness to go down to such a lower level, meeting at the time he was on the city council and they were going after mayors and city council members. I got to say, im obviously not a councilmember but at that level people really dont have any sort of understanding of this kind of intervention and i think what im really concerned about is how extensive this is. Training them in regards to this because this could be an absolute National Security threat and i think the real concern is how far its infiltrating down even at the local level. Dana that is a really good point. I believe you have top secret clearance, used to have topsecret clearance. How does somebody have this kind of activity in his back and get a top secret clearance to be on the Intelligence Committee . Well, not every member has the type of clearance that those who sit on the Permanent Select Committee of intelligence, thats the point. They are handpicked by the minority leader in the speaker of the house. There is no committee vote. As a rankandfile member of congress im not privileged to go in and see the type of material, when the fbi knows hes been targeted, they know hes a problem there are these swirling questions about an intern who served in his office for some time. Dana give me the last word. I agree with some of the points of the congressman is making, there are some questions that are unanswered. It is a lot that hasnt come out. All we know as the public reporting so far but there are a lot of unanswered questions. I would like to see greater intervention at the local level to make sure these kinds of interventions stop at that lev level. Dana thats a really good point and everyone should take a look at their own situation there to prevent things from getting out of hand. Thank you both, we appreciate it. Thank you.

Dana fox news alert on the coronavirus vaccine, right now an fda panel is discussing whether to approve emergency use of the Pfizer Vaccine. Live at fda headquarters in silver spring, maryland. Hey, david. About five hours ago this Advisory Committee started meeting, they are getting into intricate detail, which is a good thing if hundreds of millions of people around the world are going to be taking this and so far all signs are positive. The American Public deserves a rigorous, comprehensive and independent review of the data, and that is what fda physicians and scientists, all of us Career Public Health servants have been doing over a days, nights, weekends. In the next couple of hours this group will pass a recommendation, thumbsup or thumbs down to the career fda employees. That is the group that makes the final decision and if the fda grants the emergency use authorization we will begin to see vaccines shipping to hospitals and Nursing Homes almost immediately. Those are the first to get that vaccine. We will see it hours after its approved. Something to point out, the Pfizer Vaccine imager and a vaccine, which is up for approval next week, both require two doses. If you get one does, you think you can take off your max in your home free, that is not the case. Two doses about a month apart. This is going on right now, no question, if this passes, this day will be written about in the history books. Dana absolutely, mark the day. Lets bring in former fda commissioner, mark masson. Whats the best way for people to understand why its taken america little bit longer than it took the u. K. To do this approval . Dana, the fda is taking some extra steps. They did a Detailed Analysis themselves of all of the data that they sent in. I took a little bit of time and they prepared this very detailed written report, which a group of experts is reviewing, commenting on right now in public. That took a little bit of extra time but i think based on what we are hearing so far that approval for emergency use is going to come very soon after this meeting, now with a lot more public transparency and a lot more awareness of just whats in the data. Dana yesterday i had admiral gerard on and asked him about the allergic reaction that folks had to the vaccine. Take a look at what he said. Both pfizer imager and i have been immunized against general populations well over 40,000h and that kind of side effect was not seen. These were very highly allergic individuals, the kind of people who bring the epipen because they could fall over and died in a moment because of environmental allergens come as a very select populations. They were fine recovering without longterm illness but clearly the fda will look at that. Dana admiral gerard said today he would give the vaccine at aa plus. Any thoughts on that . I think its very clearly beneficial for the people who need to get at first, the Frontline Health care workers, people at high risk like people in Nursing Homes and you will know when you get the vaccine, we dont think those kinds of very serious allergic reactions happen often. People with that level of allergy were actually excluded from these clinical trials, but you will probably have a sore arm, you might feel bad for a day or longer but it doesnt look like there are any serious longer term side effects. That is something we will be monitoring closely after the approval. Dana i think that will give people some comfort. I noted that the ap, only about 50 or a little more than 50 of the country is willing to take it. What is your most persuasive point to get people to be comfortable to take this vacci vaccine . One persuasive point is actually looking at the facts. Those are being reviewed very carefully today and people will be able to see what to expect, what the benefits are and the benefits are very strong for preventing any serious consequences of an infection and it looks like again, no significant longerterm side effects but we will keep watching that Going Forward and i think americans are going to have a chance to see how the vaccination goes with their doctors, their nurses, their technicians, the people whove been on the front lines, hear about their experiences well before the vaccines are available for the broader publ public.

Dana Vice President pence, he is set to speak at a suspends the majority rally in georgia. Hes arriving there and hes the latest high profile republican to appear in the peach state ahead of next month runoff, and there are new accusations against one of the democrats in the race. Jonathan serrie is live in atlanta. I believe this is the Vice President s third stop to help with the runoff. And a very contentious runoff it is. One of two in particular. Leffler attacking the challenger over his arrest back in the year 2002. It happened during an investigation into a nonsexual child abuse allegation at a church camp. He was not the target of the investigation but he and another minister were arrested when they try to prevent authorities from interviewing underage witnesses until they could have a parent or attorney in the room. According to a Police Report obtained by the Washington Free beacon, the state trooper conducting the investigation explained that the two ministers were being extremely uncooperative and disruptive. Unfortunately this is consistent with his track record of disrespecting law enforcement. Everyone can read the police to report as to what happened in the child abuse investigation at a church camp. You can respect what people do and hold them accountable. A prosecutor later the charges against Rafael Warnock and the other minister back in 2002, telling the Baltimore Sun that there had been some miscommunication between camp clergy and the investigation officers. Back to you. Dana jonathan serrie, thank you very much. A city and states ramp up restrictions, businesses across the country are struggling. In new york city a possible second shutdown is looming as well as a new ban on indoor dining. The owner of the westside steak house said that when that happens, its got some tough choices to make. I have loved westside steak house for many, many years. We have had anniversaries they are, birthdays, but the person who first introduced me to the westside steak house is going to join us here. One of your good friends, i know you wont be able to see him but you will be able to hear him. Hey, greg. Hey, how are you . Im good. I miss your stakes. You look good. Finally wearing a tie in the restaurant. You dont wear a tie at work but oh, im going to be on tv with dana, im gonna wear a tie and a little sweater. Anyway, good to see you. I wouldnt wear one if i was on your show. [laughter] dana the restaurant has been a lifetime love of euros. I know its been a struggle. You have worked so hard to keep open. Woody thinking about right now, what could be coming down the pipe of the new york City Government . Dana, you know this difficult it is difficult even if you are at 100 . We are at 25 right now and it is extremely difficult. Of that 25 , we have a curfew that we have to close at 10 00 p. M. , so i dont get a second seating of that 25 . So its even worse than people think. We are limited to i had something prepared with a white board and everything but im not going to use it. [laughs] we rely on tourists. We rely on tourists from the live theater, hotels. I go down the line. The javits center, the Convention Center here. Were not getting any of it. So we are relying on locals and deliveries. Its absolutely not enough. We have this outdoor seating now that we are allowed to do. Yesterday it was snowing. Nobody ate outside. So we are just downed our 25 seating and now deliveries. If they cut us off inside im afraid im going to have to make some very serious decisions and i probably wont be able to maintain the restaurant lest they drop us a lifeline and the city or local government drops off a lifeline because we will not be able to survive otherwise. Dana greg, any thoughts . It is sad because living in the city for 20 years, the hardest working people in the city are the people who work in restaurants. They have the longest hours and also they are incredibly important in the neighborhood, because when restaurants, many people might be watching this and go, i eat at home. I cook, i dont need to go out to these restaurants. Restaurants create foot traffic and foot traffic reduces not only does it make the neighborhood better and safer, it produces dominic reduces opportunistic crime and loitering and adds a layer to the neighborhood that didnt exist before and it breaks your heart because everybody come across all identities, all races, all sexualities, all neighborhoods, it is affecting every different you cant call racism on this stuff because it affects everybody and we have to think about this because its an important part of city life and if you lose this, you lose the city. Dana and i know you would agree that if the government is going to take away your right to make a living, they need to make that right with you. Let me give you the last word. I know you have a lot of employees that you care for deeply and you and your wife run that restaurant so well and its been a really important part of not just the neighborhood but in my time in new york city. You guys have been an important part of my life. So i have 16 full and parttime employees here, the powers that be, if they are listening, weve got to open up. We have to open up, this is nonsense. I have been seen where restaurants are closing, this pandemic. Its just not right. Its wrong on so many levels. But you know, we remain optimistic. If we can get a lifetime dominic lifeline dropped to us h it out until the vaccine works and we reopened the theater district, maybe we will be able to do it. If not, its been nice, kids. Dana love you both. Love you both, thank you. Thank you both. See you, nick. You bet. Dana . Dana congressman jim jordan, hes coming up next. Were at the movies and we need to silence our phone.

Hunter biden under federal investigation of his taxes and business dealings. For the election, democrats and many in the media dismissed allegations against hunter bid biden. He talks about Hunter Bidens hard drive, he talks about conspiracy theory. Charges so heinous im not of been going to say them. Personal corruption, little bit about hunter biden. Most of those charges unverified. Most of that comes from the kremlin. Baseless conspiracy theories. If you didnt follow it closely you probably dont quite understand what it is. Dana but my next guess is in anything. Congressman, it almost feels like, i know it often feels like the wheels are coming off the bus, but the wheels, are they even on the bus at this point . What do you think should happen next . There needs to be a special counsel, we need to dig into it. We know hes being investigated, tax issues and Everything Else but i think its interesting, the same people who told us the protests were peaceful and the dossier was real, the same people who told us the anonymous whistleblower had to be believed even though we could never see who he was in cross examine him told us there is nothing to the hunter biden story and as we now know, they were wrong on all of them. Lets get to the bottom of this, this is important. These folks who accused the president for four years of working with the foreign government, turns out it wasnt him at all. They went after the 30 hour deposition he went there, that wasnt happening at all but in that same time, looks like the biden family was doing all right with their engagements in foreign countries. Dana could you explain to viewers what the special counsel would do in some cases, special counsel can take years to get to some sort of conclusion. What is the goal of the special counsel from your perspective . Speak at the special counsel would have that special designation that wouldnt necessarily be beholden, working for the next attorney general to get a special designation if, in fact, president biden, would he get rid of that special counsel . I think it is going to be a question they will have, we will see what plays out on the other issue. That designation gives that added weight. Maybe its not needed but i think it makes sense to do it. We called for it earlier week. When you have something this serious, again, this came up during impeachment and then it came up again with mr. Bobulinski and all the emails he had, Vice President biden and the democrats, the Mainstream Press dismissed it as well. Now we know there is something real, lets just make sure we get to the truth of the american people. Dana and may be just one last question on a different topic and that is one of your colleagues, congressman Eric Swalwell who has now been revealed to have had this relationship and dealings with a chinese spy. That was years ago but then he was put on the Intel Committee. What should happen with him . Speak at the big take away for me is Eric Swalwell get the defensive brief and Dianne Feinstein gets a brief. It seems like democrats get defensive briefings, republicans get set up. Remember what they did to president elect trump, jim comey goes up to trump tower and talks to him about the dossier so he can do what . Go leak it and it becomes a bigger story, so it seems like democrats always get the defensive briefing and republicans get set up, i think that is a question, think frankly there are some questions Speaker Pelosi will have to answer. What kind of information did she received on this issue when she made the decision to put him on the Intel Committee. Those are the questions that the speaker will have to answer. Dana you try to keep those wheels on the bus. Congressman, thanks for being on the show. We will be in touch. Thank you, take care.

Five months ago, judge esther salas was cleaning her basement with her son daniel after celebrating his 20th birthday. He answered the door bell not knowing a gunman was on the other side. Then a disgruntled later killed him. The gunman shot the judges husband. Now shes speaking out calling for more protections for judges saying in is central to democracy. Judge esther salas joins us now. Time and covid is a little hard so i looked to see how long its been. This was in july. How are you doing . Yep. July. You know, day by day, second by second, but with the grace of god, were hanging in there and doing what we can. Doing what we can to try to ensure that this never happens to anyone else. That is something that is critical. Really is my mission now, to speak up and try to ask those in power to do something. Do something to protect our federal judges in this country. The killer that came to your home had been in front of your courtroom. Did you ever have a sense that he was so unstable that he would do something this evil . No. No. I didnt. I vaguely recall his appearance. But there was nothing that really tipped me off to how dangerous he was. And unfortunately, for me, and my sons life, we found out later just how disturbed he was and how much quite frankly he hated me the day i was born. He hated me because i was a woman, he hated me because i was latino and he sure as hell didnt like me being a Federal District judge presiding over his case. New jersey has passed daniels law. What would that do . Well, i mean, daniels law, which by the way i do want to thank the governor and the men and women of the legislature that made it happen so quickly. It protects the judges personal information, the personally identifiable information. It allows us to obviously keep that information personal. That information is what led to this gentleman having a complete dossier on me and my family. He used that information against me and unfortunately every day theres individuals using that information to threaten judges, to stalk judges. These threats are still ongoing. We have had as recently as two days ago someone obviously calling for the death of a federal judge. Weve had judges in california have pipes and knives swung at them just last week. The full judiciary, miss perino is under attack. We have to do something to protect judges in order to ensure were functioning as a democracy and that with are allowing the rule of law and the integrity for the rule of law to stand. Judge, your son was killed, your husband was injured. How is he doing now . Thankfully we received great news yesterday that my husband, who had a medical setback a few weeks ago, the infection is clearing up and hes a lot stronger. We are doing our best to cope with the holiday season. But one of the things that i feel the need to do and he supports me 100 is to get out there, to obviously talk about what is happening to the federal judiciary. We do know there is a bill that is with the senate now under discussion. Thats s4711. Its a bipartisan bill that obviously is being supported by both republicans and democrats. The bill would protect judges. It would be a concrete step and an immediate step to do what we need to do in order to avoid anything like this ever happening, anything like this from ever happening again. Well, we would all want that. Judge, i have about 30 second left. You want to get back to work. You want to go back to hearing cases . Absolutely. This man took the most important thing in my life. I cannot let him take anything else. I do want to go back to hearing cases. I know just like my brothers and sisters on the bench, we want to do what we have always wanted to do, which is listen to the facts, follow the law and make a ruling to the best of our ability. What we dont want is to be gunned down in our homes because we make decisions that are unpopular. I ask that, you know, obviously those in power consider doing what they must do now, now. Judge salas, im sorry we have to run. Im so honored to talk to you. Merry christmas and thank you. Thank you for joining us. Bill hemmer, over to you. Bill powerful story. Thanks, dana.
