coming right up. first hunter biden finally admitting the laptop filled with his emails incriminating documents and embarrassing photos does indeed belong to him. welcome to a new hour of in us news, i m dana perino. bill: how was the first hour? dana: good. bill: a plus? good morning. i m bill hemmer and good morning. after years of widespread claims dismissing the laptop as the work of hackers or russian disinformation hunter s lawyers conceding it indeed belongs to him and calling him hunter the victim. that change of tune coming as newly empowered republicans launch investigations into hunter s business dealings including his role with bhr, a chinese equity firm banked by some of china s largest state banks. he joined the board in an unpaid position in 2017. he pursued deals involving china s largest private energy firm. later that year a hunter biden associate says that joe biden was consulted on deals with china. one year after that, the department of justice laun
accountable for the deaths, terrorist, cartel killers crossing into the united states and those unimaginable numbers of humanity flowing in illegally. while policies under biden defy reality. democrats taking the opportunity to attack the majority party again and again and again. at every turn this extreme republican majority fails to offer genuine solutions and resorts to political theater. the republican majority seems interested only in showboating. unfortunately this hearing is nothing more than a distraction. republicans resort to political stunts at the border and theatrical hearings lairing this one. republicans in congress seem intent on demonizing migrant families. an ongoing and blatant attempt to use fear tactics to scare us into turning immigrants away. we have a broken immigration system because republicans want us to. so they can hold these hearings to mask the fact that they have no affirmative agenda that actually helps people. harris: that was p
use your words. that s all i m saying. jason, let s get to this one. the economy still tops the growing list of president biden s crises. brand-new fox polling shows 80% rate that current conditions are only fair or poor. wow. looming over all the debt limit nearly 70% say they re extremely or very concerned about our nation s growing debt tab. president biden yesterday met with speaker kevin mccarthy to try to sort it all out. diplomatic answers from both of them on how it went. president biden: we had a good meeting yesterday. i think we have to do it across the board. doesn t mean we ll agree and fight like hell, but let s treat each other with respect. having an hour conversation with this president that i tell you in perspective was a good conversation. no agreement, no promises except we ll continue this
justice department on that could indicate that there might have been some d.o.j. directive not to release it. can you assure us that the white house has been and continues to be as transparent as possible where they haven t been disclosures something has prevented that? what i can say is what the president said many times and you ve seen it in our statements is that we are cooperating fully. the president and his team is cooperating fully and we ll continue to do that and i will just leave it there. there are bipartisan calls to reform the transition process so there is some level of oversight when documents are leaving the white house to insure they aren t mishandled after the discoveries at the biden, trump and pence home. harris: airy fleischer, former press secretary, great to see you. i want to throw the graphic back up because when you talk about the disparities of how these men have been treated particularly
under more withering criticism from within her own democratic party. so he is going to take over? the white house on defense after the f.b.i. searched another of the president s properties for classified documents. i think there is this big idea that the political elites can get away with something that you or i the average citizen would never be able to get away with. harris: it is called a double standard how the feds are treating president biden when comparing it to how they raided his predecessor s home. ari fleischer in focus next.
