can they do this with nobody stopping them? >> well, they just do it through executive order. i mean, hale do it through the agencies but, again, they have no authority to do it whatsoever. id asked secretary mayorkas under what authority are you with establishing this governance board. but again, they are brazening. they do what they accuse ores of doing. they -- others of doing. they flood the town square with all kinds of information repeatedly, time and time again, and it's all about covering up. maria, we are now witnessing what president obama, what president biden meant when they say they were going to fundamentally transform america. they are fundamentally destroying this country with open borders, 40-year high inflation, record gasoline prices, and now something to abridge the freedom of speech. every american should awaken to the urgency of the moment, every american should be frightened about what democrat governors and what democrat policies are doing to destroy this nation. they are fundamentally destroying america. maria: well, this is, this is a very serious charge and also it's quite an extraordinary the moment in time. congressman comer, let's talk about some of the facts that you have unearthed. senator johnson has been working on this investigation in the senate for years now with charles grassley. you also have uncoveredded specific facts about hunter biden and influence peddling, and we have these graphics here to indicate hunter biden's tax returns and government ethics filings. what did you learn this week that you can share who? -- share? >> well, as you know, maria, the white house and joe biden himself have always denied any knowledge of hunter biden's business dealing. they've always said that was a separate entity. but what we've learned this week lu correspondence from hunter biden's laptop is that hunter biden's business partner not only made 27 the appearances to the white house when joe biden was vice president, but also that hunter biden's business partner received joe biden's delaware tax return, deposited it into joe biden's personal checking account and then turned around and wrote a check from joe biden to hunter biden for money that president -- that joe biden owed hunter. so this proves that not only did joe biden have a lot of access to hunter biden's business partner, but hunter's and joe biden's finances were entangled. maria: yeah. >> so this leads to a lot of questions that we've had; is joe biden compromised because of hunter biden's business dealings with communist china. maria: yeah. and we have right here joe and jill biden's federal tax returns versus the government ethics filings. we want you to walk us through what is most important for us to take note of in terms of joe bide with. 's tax returns. he's -- biden's tax returns. he's got a total income of $16 is million, an ethics filing of $9.6 million. what can you tell us? >> well, i can tell you that if you factor in jill biden's potential income, that there's still going to be a $5.2 million discrepancy in what joe biden reported on his federal tax the income and what joe biden actually reported on his financial disclosure form. now, this is very serious. if you're in the executive branch, at any level -- especially president or vice president -- and you don't disclose income. we've got a $5.2 million discrepancy here that would lead one to believe joe biden may, in fact, be the big guy which we've all seen the e-mail that says the big guy gets his 10% cut. remember, this cut is from a partnership with communist china. and if this is the case, not only did joe biden not disclose this on his transparency form, but joe biden has, in fact, broken the law and profited from a foreign national. maria: senator johnson, this is absolutely extraordinary, and you have also documented much of this. we have the 10% for the big guy e-mail. what are your thoughts on where where this investigation stands even in the face of biden coming up with this new division in government to claim that he's going to slap down on disinformation when, in fact, all the disinformation is coming from his office? >> well, senator grassley and i ryed to warn the american -- tried to warn the american public about the vast web of foreign entanglements of the biden family and how that compromised potential pride. now we're seeing it. in terms of the investigation, it appears they're starting to investigate this. they impaneled a grand jury, they're calling witnesses. but my concern is, maria, that they'll gather the evidence and then under merrick garland's department of justice, they'll enter some kind of plea agreement, a slap on the wrist, and part of the plea agreement will be to seal the records so the american public never understands the full extent of the corruption and the compromise of the bind family. that is my -- the biden family. that is my concern, i think it's legitimate, and i'm trying to call it out publicly because the american public deserves the truth. they have been bamboozled, lied to, and it affects our national security. maria: and it's not just this last bit of it with hunter biden, but we've been talking about russia, russia, are russia and the russia canard now for years. i want to slip in a break and then ask you just about that, the presidential of tipping the scales. last week former dni john ratcliffe told us to watch merrick garland and whether the a.g. will tell the u.s. attorney to go easy on hunter biden's federal tax probe. federal tax probe. we're going to investigate thatt only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. if anyone objects to this marriage...

you just raised the issue of a.g. garland perhaps tipping the scales. what do you think is happening here? >> again, whether it's special counsel or prosecutor within the justice department, they're going to be run by attorney general garland. so i don't trust him. we need to put pressure on the attorney general to make sure that he makes public their findings whether they indict or not. the american public needs to understand the extent that the biden family has exposed our national security. maria: well, i mean, james comer, both peter schweizer and miranda devine both told us that hunter could be indicted over the near term. how do you see this playing out, and what do you believe are the most damning pieces of evidence that would lead to such a movesome -- move? >> well, there's no shortage of evidence of wrong doing by hunter biden. what we're seeing now is that joe biden is being connected into the biden crime family and the influence peddling, and that's very troubling. it's very troubling for national security. but i share senator johnson's distrust of merrick garland. you know, a special counsel would be okay depending on who the special counsel is. i don't trust merrick garland at all. now, with respect to being indictedded, i think there's already enough evidence to indict hunter biden on a whole menu of things. the problem is and what i predict is they will possibly indict hunter biden after the november elections but before january when republicans, hopefully, retake the majority in both the house and the senate and then that would protect hunter bind, theoretically, from having to appear before a congressional panel with a subpoena. so i think that merrick garland has a lot of opportunities to protect the biden family, and i think we just need to keep pressure on hunter biden and continue to do what we're doing in both the senate and the house and being very transparent with all the evidence that continues to pile up against the biden crime family. maria: senator, look, you've talked a lot about what hunter biden has done and the fact that this is a joe biden story, not a hunter biden story is. tell us if he can get away with saying, well, i didn't even know who it was that i was dealing with, well, you know, i didn't realize that these people and companies are specifically tied to the communist party. you talked about this on floor of the senate back about a year ago. >> we have contemporaneous e-mails from hunter biden calling, for example, patrick ho, somebody he's paid a million dollars to represent in his defense, i guess. he ended up being convict of money laundering and violations of practices act. but patrick ho, hunter biden referred to him as the spy chief of china. his other business associate, devon archer, who met with president bidening in the white house, a couple days before devon archer became a member of the board of burisma with hunter biden, devon archer is now a convicted criminal. hunter biden knew exactly the types of unsavory people he was dealing with. people connected to the chinese communist party. so there should be no defense and, again, that is the extent that the american public needs to understand how brazen the bidens have been and how they have put america's national security and our international policies in a compromised position. maria: it's just incred. he called -- incredible. he calls this guy the spy chief of china, and patrick ho sends hunter biden a million dollars. if you do get the majority in november, are these impeachable offenses on the part of joe biden? will you move to impeach joe biden? >> that's really a house question. >> well well, yeah. well -- maria: james comer? >> certainly everything's on the table. i think democrats wasted a lot of time and energy trying to impeach joe biden. we want to start out on day one trying to correct a lot of the policies that joe biden has enacted. legislatively joe biden enacted these policies with the democrat majority or by executive order. we need to get inflation under control, our border secured, and i think those are going to be the first to two -- [inaudible conversations] maria: yeah, go ahead, final word. >> i just want to make sure the american people get the truth. the american people need the truth. maria: yes, absolutely. senator johnson, congressman comer, thanks very much for your leadership and your work right now. straight ahead, new lows for president biden's approval ratings, but the only ratings worse than his are his number two and his supposed successor is, kamala harris. newt gingrich is here on the democrats and potential in-fighting within the republican party headed into the primary season and the midterms just now 191 days away. stay with us. ♪ ♪ from once upon a time, at the magical everly estate, landscaper larry and his trusty crew... were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition for strength and energy. woo hoo! ensure, complete balanced nutrition with 27 vitamins and minerals. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ ♪ no matter who you are, with 30 grams of protein. being yourself can be tough when you have severe asthma. triggers can pop up out of nowhere, causing inflammation that can lead to asthma attacks. but no matter what type of severe asthma you have, tezspire™ can help. tezspire™ is a new add-on treatment for people 12 and over... that proactively reduces inflammation... ...which means you could have fewer attacks, breathe better, and relieve your asthma symptoms. so, you can be you, whoever you are. tezspire™ is not a rescue medication. don't take tezspire™ if you're allergic to it. allergic reactions like rash or an eye allergy can happen. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection or your asthma worsens. sore throat, joint and back pain may occur. avoid live vaccines. by helping control your asthma, tezspire™ can help you be you. no matter who you are, ask your asthma specialist about tezspire™ today. xfinity mobile runs on america's most reliable 5g network, but for up to half the price of verizon, so you have more money for more stuff. this phone?

explain this stick figure chart and what you think it tells us. >> well, i think it's ooh another example of elon musk being unbelievably smarter than almost everybody else. he took everything pollsters and social analysts have been saying and political analysts and and put it into a very simple tweets, a couple simple stick figures. back this 2008 he was sort of a liberal, and the liberals were fairly close to the center. then in 2012 he was sort of in the center, and the liberals were going to the left. now today the he finds himself to the right of center, and he finds the liberals have gone crazy, they're so far to the left. and meanwhile the conservatives in his stick figures are about where they've always been in the record of reagan and what we did and trump. so i thought he captured in that one documenting the whole policy problem. now, as i said, there's a performance failure and there's a policy failure. and i thought musk did a great job, it's sort of ironic that he put that together -- maria: yeah. >> and i think the average american can look at that and say where are you on this continuum? do you like government censorship? maria: yeah. >> you like an open border? you like letting murderers back out on the street? then you must be a democrat. and i think that's sort of what what musk captured. maria: yeah. but, newt, layeredded all on top of that aside from the bad policy decisions resulting many terrible outcomes which is what we're seeing, we are looking at perhaps the potential of the beginning of a recession. we got that gdp out last week, a contraction in the economy. you also have corruption in plain sight. and i want to get your take on that. and you mentioned the university of pennsylvania's secret chinese money. you think that's an even bigger story than the corruption of what's on hunter's laptop, right? walk us through what you mean. >> well, the university of pennsylvania, that we know of, has gotten at least $67 million from chinese sources, anonymous sources. university of pennsylvania refused to turn over information to the justice department in the last year of the trump presidency, one of the major jobs of congress should be to subpoena the university of pennsylvania's records. they created the penn biden center for public policy. i don't know how many administration staff who are being paid from that center, but they were being paid with chinese money. and you have anonymous chinese donors, the largest of which was $14.5 million. so you take everything that hunter biden ever did, and then you look at what joe biden was doing. the story here is not hunter biden. the story here is the head of the family just like a mafia family, the head of the family -- who, by the way, if you go back and pull up what he said in various campaign events, i knew nothing, i never discussed my son's business. well, we now know he wrote an $800,000 check for his son's legal expenses in business. this wasn't criminal, this was including chinese businesses. he wants us to believe he wrote an $800,000 check and didn't discuss his son's business? if he wants us to believe he flew for 17 hours to china and they didn't discuss his son's business? the truth is joe biden is a liar. this is a corrupt family occupying the white house, and we need to get to the bottom of it. and i believe the university of pennsylvania's $67 million from china is a lot bigger scandal than hunter biden ooh's laptop -- biden's laptop, as big a scandal, frankly, as the laptop is. maria: yeah. real quickly before you go, newt, is this resonating on the american people? we have some polls here in terms of the midterm elections. i want to get your take on the republicans. obviously, the democrats are attacking ken mccarthy. -- kevin mccarthy. is will any division within the republican party? what can you say about that, and do you believe that the gop has the advantage both on the house and the senate side come november in -- november? >> i think we'll pick up between 25-70 seats in the house, probably pick up about 4 streete senate. i think people like herschel walker are going to do very, very well. in addition, i would say if you're in a district that biden carried by less than 15 or 20 points, you're in great danger as a democrat. maria: yeah. >> and if the tsunami is big enough, we beat ross kousky in downtown chicago, everybody thought that was impossible. once these things start, we are now stronger -- republicans -- with hispanics than we are with why notes, and kevin mccarthy will be speaker, and i think he will do an amazingly good job. maria: okay. we'll leave it there. newt gingrich, thanks very much. quick break, and president trump is back on social media on his own platform called truth social as elon musk moves forward with his plans to acquire twitter. truth social ceo and former congressman devin nuñes is here on free speech, censorship and government corruption right after this. after this. ♪ i'll pick this one up. i earn 3% cash back on dining including takeout with chase freedom unlimited. so, it's not a problem at all. you guys aren't gonna give me the fake bill fight?

>> what we saw this week as sussmann, the clinton campaign, the dnc all try to fight having to disclose evidence and having to disclose information, they're going to court and file fighting. well, this has given the opportunity for durham because he's had to fight these objections to actually place direct evidence on the record. now, as people well know, we built a circumstantial case using circumstantial evidence. we knew, for example, that the dnc, the media, fusion gps, they were all coordinating, building a narrative and laying it out for the american people. but we never actually had the e-mails. and now there are hundreds of e-mails that hoe what we knew five years ago was that the fake news media was in cahoots with the left in country and the clinton campaign to try to defeat donald trump by framing him, maligning him. and not just him, but many, many others that got tied up into this, guys like carter page. so it's good to see that the fruits of all our work that we did over the last five years that resulted in criminal referrals are now being, we're starting to see evidence being put down as these indictments roll out. maria: yeah. >> so i would like to see more indictments, but it is, i mean, look, it should be alarming to people that the media's willing to just take the stuff from these paid assassins. but it's the world that we live in, and maybe the more that the american people know about this, the better off we all will be moving into the future to try to make reforms at these government agencies. maria: all right. devin, we'll be watching truth social, and we appreciate your time this morning. devin nuñes joining us. thank you, sir, we appreciate it. trump endorsed candidate kari lake is here on her high stakes race for governor of arizona. her plan to secure the border, next. next. do your eyes bother you?

weathertech. >> welcome back. well, a federal judge has ordered the biden administration to stop making plans to wind down title 42 at the southern border, but they are still planning it for may 23rd. the administration so far seems to be moving forward to revoke this policy in three weeks despite new and troubling numbers from the border. border agents tell me they expect apprehensions to jump from 7,000 a day to 18,000 apprehensions a day once title 42 goes away, and that does not include all the gotaways. my next guest has been seeing equally disturbing trends in neighboring arizona as we are told many so-called gotaways are seen coming into the country through surveillance cameras, they are ending up in tucson among other places. joining me right now is arizona guber matorial candidate kari lake. it's good to see you this morning, thanks so much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. maria: assess the border from your eyes in arizona. what's going onsome. >> it's in complete chaos. i was just down in yuma last week, and, you know, every time i go there i think, oh, surely the biden administration will have had enough by now, and they will stop what's happening because they can do it very quickly by, basically, bringing back president trump's policies. but i was shocked at what i saw. it was so much worth that even the time i was there before. people pouring in. from the minute if we arrived until the minute we left. and it's strewn with clothing. i picked up this little kid's baby shoe, basically. this looks like it belongs to maybe a 3-year-old. it's a humanitarian crisis, it's a national security crisis, and the drugs and the people are pouring across. and when they come across, maria, they've got smiles on their face because they know under joe biden they're probably going to be grant asylum are, a mass asylum to everybody who comes across. it's outrageous. maria: what is point of all of this? i mean, look at the numbers in terms of feint mall. we had 100,000 overdose deaths largely due to fentanyl in the last year and the cpb has seized incredible number, 913,000 pounds of fentanyl the fiscal year to date, 340,000. what can you tell us about this, and what are you going to do about it should you become governor of arizona? >> well, we need to shut the border down and shut it down to illegal crossings and the cartels. right now, because of joe biden's failures, the cartels have operational control over arizona's border and texas and others as well. and so with we need to shut it down. i have the most bold and aggressive border policy that this country's ever seen, and on day one we are going to issue a declaration of invasion. we are going to finish president trump's wall on both state and federal land using the materials and resources that we have at the border, and we're going to arm our national guard and prevent people from coming across the border. right now they just walk right into the arms of the border patrol agents. they've got drones, about 9,000 drones that have come over, dropped off drugs, they're surveilling our law enforcement. we should be shooting those down, and you should my plan, we will. under my plan, we will. maria: wow. and we are seeing these private flights drop migrants in cities across the country. we're going to take a short break, and then i want to focus more on your campaign as (all): all hail, caesar! pssst julius! you should really check in with your team on ringcentral. oh hi caesar. we were just talking about you. yeah, you should probably get out of here. ♪ ringcentral ♪ [lazer beam and sizzling sounds] ♪♪ maria: welcome back. i am back with arizona grouper thattorial candidate kari lake. is one of the hot races that we are all watching not just gubernatorial race, but also the senate race. president trump enforced you. you said he endorsed you twice, right?
