we we'll break it all down through the legal spokesperson for the former president's attorney alina habba. >> hunter binds a private citizen's and this is a personal matter for him. shannon: hunter biden's plea deal has a r roadblock is unraveling us in agreement with the government gives more fuel to republicans pursuing their own investigations. >> you cannot hide from bank records you could not hide from suspicious activity reports regret this is impeachment inquiry. shannon: a move towards impeachment present but it will get reactions from nancy mace it's a fox news send exclusive. and republican candidates descend on iowa. months ahead of the first in the nation caucus state as the desantis campaign undergoes a reset. >> have all about substance at the end of the debris. >> candidates meet some of the key qualifications for the debate stage we will sit down with one of those candidates north dakota governor doug burgum is taking heat for getting creative. only on "fox news sunday." then. >> what are your top three issues that are important to you? shannon: fox news said he talks to young voters about what will drive them to the polls. descend a panel weighs in on all of the latest 2024 developments. plus we go one-on-one with congressman adam smith on the painful secrets he hid and why he is now going public. >> it stressed me out a lot. i was really worried about my ability to keep doing the job. >> alright now on "fox news sunday." ♪. shannon: help from foxes in washington very former president trump remains the odds on front runner for the republican nomination for the white house facing intense legal pressure. indictments in two cases and under investigation in at least two others appeared new it charges this week in a case it accuses him of mishandling classified documents. potential indictment alleging attempts over to the 2020 election per including generate six alleged interference in georgia. this week barricades were placed outside the fulton county courthouse ahead of possible charges there. joining us now alina habba spokesperson for general -- president trump welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thank you, good morning. shannon: the start of the president said on thursday he felt his legal team attorneys had good meetings with the justice department. by that afternoon he had been indicted on new federal criminal charges. was not a shock to you? are you bracing for the next indictment? >> nothing as a shock to me anymore coming out from this department of justice, this biden administration. as president trump mentioned merit less guarded than, a group of people this is election interference. the charges are never a surprise to us because they cannot stop him he's got 18% turned of independent stores trump this is what happens when you're waiting in the polls the democrats can't win they have nothing left to do. for the talk about another poll this comes out this week showing the majority of americans, 51% do it bel believe it president p did something illegal. on the 27% think he did something at least unethical. how do you overcome that perception with jurors? that's the first question but then with voters? >> of the facts let's talk about the facts which of the american people need to know. and that indictment that superseding indictment that came out which they tried to get another headline for president trump was facts that said it president trump we did what? what was the obstruction of justice? no tapes were deleted. he turned them over, he cooperated as he always does but they would like the american public to believe these bogus indictments there some facts that president trump was obstructing justice for when he has his turn in court and will l be get to file our papers you will see every single video, every single surveillance tape that was requested was turned over. if president trump did not want something turned over i assure you that is something that could have been done. but he never would act like that. it's the most ethical american i know. shannon: a talk about the indictment pretty bring this up there indictments that he, with a couple other employees at mar-a-lago had conversations for their's allegations about trying to get rid of surveillance video. once it was under subpoena part let me read from the indictment this is a new superseding indictment the property manager there at mar-a-lago told trump employee that the boss wanted the server deleted for the sum of the surveillance video was. trump responded he would not have to do that he did not believe he had the rights to do that. trump employee foretold that had would have to reject another employee who was a supervisor of security for trump's business organization. then insisted to trump employee for that quote the boss wanted the server deleted and asked what are we going to do? you rightly say the tapes were turned over their custody of the justice department. but the question is was there an attempt to try to make sure that didn't happen? >> let's be clear. there is an attempt by somebody who lives in a home take out president trump, who owns a company where he owns it, he owns the it, he pays for all these employees. there is an attempt for them to not turn over documents or he wanted something deleted, do you not think that is something he could not of gotten done? use common sense. the american public forgets use common sense. shannon: it is the allegation he tried in these employees had demanded talk to someone else i don't know that i can even do that. >> shannon, i know the facts and the facts are in president trump gets a subpoena it goes to the organization organization turns in overbreadth that is what actually happened. i've been an attorney for the president during this whole process. i can assure you that is not the case. shannon: innocent until proven guilty he will have his day in court will watches that plays out, thank you for joining us again. >> yes, thank you for having me. >> or legal panel george washington university law professor jonathan turley. and thomas depree former deputy district principal right to have you back and had a cousin person as well. >> absolutely. >> your reaction to what we just heard t there? >> that dog won't hunt that is their position in court for they cannot simply say the tapes were turned over because the government is not alleging the tapes were destroyed. what they are alleging as you noted an effort to get rid of the tapes for that does not mean the indictment is trooper was interesting about the indictment as it seems to be an effort to broaden the evidentiary basis. eat weaker links for this indictment is a lot of it's based on trump's own lawyers. that could pose a serious problem later. and that these new allegations are not as dependent on those lawyers. and so this may be sort of an effort to get cushion in case things go bad. shannon: was always a presumption of innocence from other good things about our legal system for now we have a couple employees were drawn into this. how much do you think this is pressure on them to flip on the former president? >> host employees are under substantial pressure but if you are someone who works with the trump organization in a managerial capacity or work at mar-a-lago you get a call from the justice department. in special counsel summons you in and says look we suspect we may even have evidence you committed a criminal activity, were thinking about prosecuting you but we would like to hear what you know, what can you tell us customer quickly tells the president trump. you are under immense pressure to cooperate to come clean to turn against president trump say here is what i have here is what i know what special counsel's point from position of strength either. since ike is already gotten some information from people close to president trump eight mary weyl may have more as we see the case and folds were quick to see if there's a separate climate from the special prosecutor on the generous six, the post 2020 election, things that ha happend but we'll see if the allegations are forget one of those. meantime i want to talk about hunter biden plea deal falling apart this week. we were talking before the show is highly unusual all these different portions of this and how this came together for the judges probing on this. andy mccarthy writes this the point of an agreement is to outline in detail the full extent of the immunity, the defendant is getting in exchange for his plea. because the hunter biden defense on the justice on the same side he argues the collective objective make hunter little is said as possible about why he needs it. >> i do i've never seen a hearing like this. i've never seen and a plea agreement like this for so the put the immunity grants and with a gun charge which is a lot like putting your luggage tag inside your luggage it's not where you initially look for it. the courts was not pleased when it found it there and said what does this mean? it looked like to her a wink and a nod for the best the prosecutor did was shrug and say honestly i've never seen anything quite like this agreement but it is what it is. that is not enough for federal judge. shannon: or cindy misunderstanding or miscommunication whether not this deal about taxing gun charges would extend to other potential investigations. we are told is an ongoing investigation related to hunter. do you plea deal out part of it while it is still continuing? whwhat's he doing hunter biden's position you probably would you would in theory but these particular charges to rest even if he does not insulate from charges on the road. i agree what happened last week in delaware was extorted, shocking, unprecedented. but one sense the system worked the federal judge did her job she was presented with this deal half big deal to be sure but it deal from the prosecutors and from the biden team. she looked at it she kick the tires on it said there is no way i'm signing off on this. she did her job she sent the party >> for homework assignments to clarify what they mean to see if they can work out the differences may be returned to court and possibly she will approve it down the road. shannon: at this point again over at national review andy mccarthy says time for special counsel wher or the whistleblows the irs case has called for this again and again. let's make sure there's no political or appearance of any political bias free let's do that. and he notes this piece is garlic has to point special counsel because there is a substantial basis for criminal investigation and be the justice department is beset by profound conflict of interest. do you think there will be special counsel kuester mckinney chancey attorney general was considering that? >> i don't if he is considering it because for two years he has refused to admit there was an overwhelming case for special counsel. it did not happen just recently but this is been the situation many of us has been writing for two years and what are you thinking? it's not clear is going to change that, the question is timing paid right now there's a move towards impeachment inquiry. that is likely to move things more quickly than a special counsel. once you go to special counsel which i think will be justified there is no question about that. but it would tend to slow the process down. all of these committees are now closing in on some answers. what we know so far is deeply disturbing. do not think congress really has a choice but to get these answers. he thanks spe speaker mccarthy s right about that. the constitution does not just give you power sick issue obligations and this is one of them. shannon: of the answers may come from devon archer who is expected to testify behind closed doors and inte interviewe house oversight committee. aranda at divine writing about this, former best friend and business associate of hunter biden in ukraine is expected to testify under oath to congress this week that president biden met with dozens of hunters and business associates what is serving as a vice president between 2009, 2017. okay, speaker phone calls of it stepping in to say hi to land glamour to the proceedings, what difference does it make? >> well look the question is did president biden interfere with the business dealings, was he present was he on the phone it was her money exchange? could very well be a critical witness here. someone who was closely involved a pretty someone who apparently has a lot of information. i think the congressional committees have been doing a good job at eliciting this information. i suspect that this had been left to the justice department, they're not going to really pursue this way they have for this been political interference by think the congressional committees have a doing a masterful job and identified witnesses, bringing them and give them the testimony that is allowing us to figure out what actually happened with president biden and his son. >> in the meantime our mark meredith at the white house already asked the question will they pardon hunter biden if they need to question mercurius the exchange progress or presidential perspective is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son? >> no. >> is there -- i just said no i just answered. shannon: were either of you surprised that door was so firmly closed? what's up you little bit more compelling at the same spokesperson had just two days before change the residence at last denial of her having any contact or knowledge of these business deals. nobody is taking that one to the bank. he can obviously follow it i think is a rather painful history of a presidents using pardons for friends and family. bill clinton being an example of that. we have to wait and see how this unfolds. obviously will he is running for president he cannot say he's going to pardon his own son for federal crimes. shannon: many steps of chain here and there and both of these cases. we will track them with your health, dental and thank you. much more coming up on the legal issues throughout the show congress takes on claims of whether we are alone in the universe right up next will talk with are the lawmakers pushing the government to tell us whether it actually has downed ufos or what it found inside. >> two at the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?

>> no, i don't think so this a person who is in business with hunter biden and biden family members is the bff of the president son. has a lot of information i believe that will be able to fact check and cooperate with other witnesses and other whistleblowers. we just had to irs whistleblowers admitting their investigation has been blocked by federal agencies. and is he going to tell us that joe biden was in the room via conference call or in person to what extent he is involved in this method question at the american people the right to know whether he was or was not. shannon: the meantime the ranking member of democratic congressman raskin said republicans are playing fast and loose with the truth. he says there's an fbi agent he wants that transcript of that interview release because he said actually wipes away the notion there's any political bias in the investigation. into hunter biden he sent a letter to the chair james comer and said this not release the transcript is a lazy or troubling pattern of concealing key evidence in order to advance a false and distorted narrative about your investigation of joe biden that is not only failed to develop any evidence of wrongdoing by president biden, but has in fact uncovered substantial evidence to the contrary. he says republicans are known to them what they accuse democrats of doing. he said there is no they are the accusation democrats are going down the rabbit trails with regard to president trump and russia he said that's exactly what republicans are extra doing now. >> well i do believe in transparency and all the evidence of the oversight committee for or against should aptly be released to the american people per they do not trust congress because often it's a bunch of political game so trust the evidence that comes out. but i will play the evidence we have seen is overwhelmingly piling up at some level we cannot share because it is confidential for example in the 170 plus suspicious activity reports are pointing to money laundering, bribery, racketeering and corruption et cetera. we have to go find the bank records we have to go find witnesses and other whistleblowers to prove it and other way since we cannot release that information support in my estimation no matter what side of the aisle you are on, released everything at the point you can comment release at all to the american people. shannon: is sparking conversations about impeachments politicos were the many places here in d.c. that is reporting on the republic of their republicans expressing concern congressman kennebunk one of them go about going down this trail here's a politico says, mccarthy must placate his hard right critics who support hilton eight in the high's big spending boats without alienating his most skittish members who face reelection on turf that biden one. what about this issue of impeachment question what is the party divided? >> i do poop leave we are at this point it inquiries different from an impeachment vote is another tool in the toolbox. i will tell you every time we walk the plank we are putting moderate members, members and biden one districts we are putting those seats at risk for 2024 we are putting the majority at risk. it's not just impeachment that does that other issues like abortion et cetera also put those members on the plank. the one thing i will say is this grade whatever the evidence shows us we ought to follow the facts we have to be better than nancy pelosi. closely it really politicized impeachment process but we do not want to do that here. we have to show overwhelming undeniable evidence in order to move this and forward but if we can't we should not. but if we do that we ought to use every tool in the toolbox to make sure the american people see it for what it is and hold everyone accountable. shannon: about that with you sent to american to increasingly believe no one is going to be held accountable and things happen there all these congressional investigations. they say at the end of the date nobody actually gets weathers a slap on the wrist come a time in jail, whatever it would be for the corresponding allegations. what you say to them? >> it is the truth i sat in the chair on the committee i chair on wednesday i cursed out the witness that day because they did not come with information they refused to answer any of our questions and then they laughed at us as we were probing about $40 billion i that was wasted by the federal government. we have a burea bureaucrats we e people come before us and testify and nothing ever happens nobody gets fired, no one is ever held accountable the government goes on being in some ways very corrupt or at least not transparent with the american people, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars it is wrong, and one person doing what i can to show the truth and show what is happening every level at every stage i call out both sides of the aisle i call it straight down the middle but it is not easy. shannon: when things are conquerors more transparency what we used to call it ufos them a fancy new name. i want to play a little bit back and forth from the hearing. we have witnesses to say the government has remains of crashes and that is not all, here's a bit of that. >> where they i guess human or nonhuman biologics? >> nonhuman that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program i talk to that are currently still in the program. >> okay some serious allegations that raise a lot of eyebrows do you believe them? and do you think the government has an obligation to be transparent with all this information whatever it may be? >> the oversight committee on wednesday we had three very credible witnesses former intelligence officer, a retired military, retired pilots who have seen things they could not explain. what we learned on wednesday this is not about little green men this is about the federal government laundering your tax dollars, paying for programs that none of us in congress are aware of. let alone you the taxpayer you have the right to know what's really going on. we were left with more questions and answers because a lot of the information was shared cannot be shared in a public setting the next hearing be in a private setting in a skiff which is frustrating but i want to be transparent with the american people of everything we learn from these hearings. >> please do. you mentioned the issue of abortion we have talked about that you do not think the gop is handling this well. you describe yourself as pro-life you are clearly frustrated over recent measure on the hill in which it disallowed funding for paid time off or travel expenses for women in the military who travel to get abortions. you did ultimately both for here's what one pro-life leader at reacted nancy mace is a disgrace to republican women, our military exist to protect american lives. we should not be giving taxpayer funding for abortions to take them. so, he voted for the provision but do you think the government should be back in those expenses? >> well i am pro-life my voting record will reflect that i also do not believe it's okay at this time, this recently post road to target women in uniform that is wrong it looks bad. the other thing is everything we do in a portion vote and i am pro-life we should also be having a vote on bills and legislation and amendments that showcase we care about women what are we doing to help women who have been raped or girls were victims of incest? what are you doing to improve the foster care system for the children were unwanted when they're born? how are we ensuring women have the option of adoption versus abortion when making really tough decisions are we giving counseling to women who have had abortions because a lot of women have very difficult times recovering mentally, making that decision after words they regret it. and so what are we doing to show that we care about women and finding that middle ground? we can take those notes that we had not done anything in seven months in this legislative session to show that we care about women that is where my frustration is that is where comments like that really do not read the room about mom and women care about this country today it's never too issue in swing districts in swing states if you want to win the white house, if you want to keep the majority in the house doing to flip the senate we've got to be a lot smarter and how we talk about women and how we show them that we care. shannon: congress when we're out of time and are disappointed you don't the type of prayer breakfast but maybe next time bigots all talk about anything up on her way to church runner went to church right now shannon. >> have a great sunday thanks for stopping in your first. thank you shannon. shannon: up next new task to try to make the debate stage with doctor north the governor governor doug burgum about that where he stands in the polls and people have to stop calling him a billionaire. don't know what 'e getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody. (jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try? dude, what're you doing? i'm protecting my car. that's too much work. weathertech is so much easier... laser-measured floorliners up here, seat protector and cargoliner back there... nice! out here, side window deflectors... and mud flaps... and the bumpstep, to keep the bumper dent-free. cool! it's the best protection for your vehicle, new or pre-owned. great. but where do i---? order. weathertech.com. sfx: bubblewrap bubble popped sound.

(intercom) flightdeck, see you at the house warming. for 61st republican debate is quickly approaching. this week another candidate met the rnc polling and fundraising thresholds. north dakota governor doug burgum sparked a heated ethical debate when he offered 20-dollar gift cards to anyone who donated at least a dollar to his campaign in order to meet the parties requirement the candidates get 40000 unique donors. governor doug burgum joins us from iowa. >> great to be if you shannon. shannon: and ethical debate most will think it's fine i know you'vyouhave said instead of pag political consultant you decide this is a good way to invest the money but the independent has this report, s since biting supporters exploit republicans 1 dollar donations cashback campaign pledge. one on twitter right i gave doug burgum $1.8 semi 20 and gave $0 to joe biden at attached the phs of his donation. did you foresee that might happen? >> i just think the whole thing is humorous. these are clubhouse rules designed to keep fresh faces, fresh ideas, entrepreneurs and innovators off the stage you set a limit like this and of course it favors people who have held national office. it favors people been pundits on tv. neighbors people that have been career politicians with name recognition for it i'm an innovator, an entrepreneur i grew up in a small town in north dakota literally bet the farm to start a software company. if you are starting an online retail company if you are a young person the first thing you do when you're going online as you offer a promotional thing and of course we did this. the 20-dollar gift card -- make these consulting firms for $100 per customer acquisition per this is one for the causes vote that a north dakota dakota's use creativity and innovation to solve a problem, do over one fifth the price a political party the government might do it. we are thrilled to have an opportunity to bring our message about the economy, energy, national security to the national debate stage. shannon: i want to try to get as many of those as i can per week you endorsed to president trump in 2016 and why the need to run against in this time? >> i believe we need to focus on the things that matter the most to most americans that is the economy. this is about running against joe biden. we don't just eat course corrections on the economy, energy we need one here 80 degrees turn. on the economy whether it is inflation, taxes, spending, deficit, trade, all in the wrong direction for a energy policy we should be selling energy to our friends and allies and set up buying it from our adversaries. in our national security that sort of border security. right now it's got an open border i've been down there with the national guard troops of north dakota. it is completely unreported what is going on down there and all these things are affecting every american. shannon: part of that ties together with fence and also want to talk about that in the context of china. you have said we are at a cold war essentially with them but a lot of american business leaders are willing apparently to put up with a lot, look the other way they have gone over there for very cozy meetings with chinese leaders elon musk, tim cook, jamie dimon among those. we know our economies are intertwined, secretary yellen said you cannot decouple so how do you address the issues? we are in the cold war with china by all definition it is very different when walk ronald reagan was leading this country we are cold with russia, russia had a small economy they were not very connected. we were able to outperform them with our economy with their strong economy we were able to have strong military. we need to do the same thing now aowand are cold war retried it we've got to get our economy sprinting into scrolling right now and part of the reason it's crawling is this incredible red tape. if seen the red tape as an entrepreneur, is a small business person i've seen it running large global businesses i know definitely seen as the governor for the federal government is always outside of its lane it's always a big putting the states and businesses with regulation. the way america has always one is with innovation. if we drive that forward to get this economy going but china is the number two economy in the world. they're completely there completely interconnectedr about how we manage this. i'll give you one horrible example putin likely does not even invade ukraine if not for having all of western europe dependent on his energy paid them belatedly that by the administration says were going to put sanctions on russian oil that takes russian oil out of our markets. but russia selling oil 20 -- 30% off to who? to china. china the world's largest importer of oil and gas in the world we are over there with blinken, yellen, kerri no one is even talking about how we can use energy policy is a leveler in our relationship in the cold over china. shannon: you mentioned russia and all those interconnected very complex policy problems. what do you consider defeat of russia, victory for ukraine? where to see the line starting and stopping for u.s. aid continuing to flow to ukraine? >> dollars have to have accountability across government does not mother where is his domestic, military or ever the spending is we've got to have more transparency and accountability but that's odetta north dakota. we have cut budgets in north dakota. we have balance the budget. we've got our economy rolling there, we are in tract of the highest gdp in the nation. but we are talk about russia we cannot have a winter putin. we cannot even think about it like a country the way we think about ourselves. it is a series of mob bosses they have a fancy name, oligarchs. what is putin worth $70 billion? they have amassed all this worth and per goshen and with the wagner group is doing we now know. this guy's a got 64 shell companies for their control and gold mines in the central african republic. when they helped syria they took over 25% of serious oil production. these are large international criminal organizations a w wind for putin as i said again putin and china have had 40 meetings over the last 10 years we are just pushing these folks together now with food to become china's gas station it is exacerbating our biggest challenge which is the cold war we had with china and our competition with china. shannon: owe it to make sure he hiton domestic issues as well yu signed when the toughest abortion laws in the country said he would not sign a federal than you think presidency to set a cultural issue susan b anthony a big pro-life group said this about you pecan it's will not commit to get some kind of federal bands sing the issue should not be decided at the states is an endorsement of abortion up until the moment of birth. even brutal late term abortions in states like california, illinois, new york and new jersey will pose any presidential candidate who refuses to embrace any minimum of 15 week national standard. is it a copout to now say with a really interesting some people would say aggressive culture war issues you have had a north dakota you have signed off on, now you are in a national race you shou should have to talk abt that? >> no, it is amazing we've spent 50 years the pro-life movement fighting to have roe v wade overturned so that the decision could return to the states. about 24 hours later the same people say know it now it's been turned over to the states of god have the feds back involved again. i'm a tenth amendment guy. read the tenth mm of this a very specific set of think the federal government is supposed to do and the rest is reserved to the states, or to the people and importantly to the people because so much of this culture wars one group trying to stamp their set of rules on another group. we have to just say hey what is going to fly to new york is not going to fly a north dakota. we know that. as president we've got a focus on the things that matter and things like national security which includes border security and certainly as a president i will be focusing on things that are extra part of the job description of running the federal government, return the power to the states shrink the size of government and some of these other issues are going to have to be debated at the state and local level. shannon: i would note there are people who do read the supreme court decision to include federal legislation could be involved we know your position will see you on the debate stage for gor time. >> great, thanks are beyond with you. shannon: do not forget fox news shelter hope for the first primary debate august 23 in milwaukee. bret baier and martha mccown will moderate candidates take the stage at 9:00 p.m. eastern. we'll look at young conservative voters think about the 2024 gop presidential bill plus reaction from the sunday group on top of resets and wrangling less than a month from the first gop debate. shannon: young people showed up in droves for the 2022 midterms near record turnouts putting tw. now republicans are trying new ways to reach out to this pivotal demographic at at the next presidential election. we sent alexis mcadams to speak with college students attending the national conservative student conference here in d.c. this week. >> who do you see is to be the next president of the united states questioner. >> i think ron desantis records are public and presidential candidates hit the campaign trail young voters are listening. >> i'm still undecided. most likely rooting towards trump just for what he said in the past. i really do not want another democrat in office for grace on consumer policy answers a lot is talk around social issues and i think policies are more important purpose he economies a big one is not doing too well right now. i think everyone feels requested card to data from tufts university the university of college students who voted whitney up 14 points between 2016 and 2020. the growing electorate is up for grabs. >> when you look at how they vote i know the majority vote for democratic candidates than in federal reelections. when asked which party do belong to? a lot of young people really have no affiliation pic of third party candidate could be a concern for the gop. >> if i felt they align with the issues i think are important, we are pretty conservative yes. >> i don't see a chance for that progress would he think the conservative movement can do to get more young people to vote? >> a market for the needed better in marketing. >> young people i talked to said age doesn't play a factor in who they vote for. because they are looking for a fresh face until either publican party, shannon. b6 alexis thank you very much the conference sponsored by young america foundation were the partners in the first republic debate. right now for our sunday group usa today washington bureau chief susan page, trent 84 spokesperson former white house adviser karl rove and juliet manchester national particle reporter with the hill. all right, welcome to all of you. politico has this has a young voters are getting less likely to identify as a dam sets those trouble for biden. they look at this analyst to us what that youth voter data for more than 20 years and says voters under 30 today are less likely to identify as democrats compared to the spring of 2018. more of them consider themselves in >> you're saying that a lot from generation z. you see a lot of crossover in terms of the issues that a lot of the voters you see young conservatives very interested in the environment for example. maybe younger democrats may not be as fiscally liberal as other democrats. i think what you are seeing right now is these and voters do not want to be labeled they do not want the labels particularly engendered z. they do not want to be put into a box when it comes to these issues. they want people to have that choice. that being said that we did see in 2022 young voters overwhelmingly turn the tide for democrats. >> the same analyst went on a deeper dive in his sub stack he said ring at the alarm about this group in the last four years the number of young black men and women who identify as democrats have the client a jaw-dropping 15 percentage points from 64% to 49%. >> juliet is right. young voters are less likely to identify with the political party. we do know that they care a lot about climate change for the care a lot about gun control and gun regulation. they care about issues that increasingly republicans are just not in line with younger voters on pruitt comes to women's health for example these are voters who for the first time now are thinking about a world in which women may not have the same healthcare opt options. ana writes that our generation is taken for granted. i think these are deathly independent voters but republicans have really struggling with them we've seen that in election after election because they are policies not the cultural issues of race passing the young voters had he did not t now tears much about cultural issues. the policies at all the issues many of these the young voters care about republicans are moving so far away from print they are going so far to the rates for that spells trouble for republicans. >> i see karl. shaking your head i can feel it. >> i did not shake my head but inside i was. between 2018 and 2022 the youngest cohort of voters 18 -- 29th moved more public than for this still overwhelmingly democrat. but they move toward the republicans and if i were a democrat i would be as worded as a biting white house is about them. if you look at all the polls this is a group that is most uncomfortable with a given 82 ro82children for reelection as president. the lack of enthusiasm among younger voters towards the democratic front runner, joe biden, is probable that is exactly where they have continued to try for example on the student loan forgiveness you're trying to bribe him, hoping it's a time of the roman area it ain't working. the polling data thereto groups that look like the lack of enthusiasm could be deadly to the democrats of 2024 the republicans nominate freshfaced and those are younger voters and blacks whose enthusiasm level. [laughter] let me shake my head the biden team is not concerned young voters are going to vote for donald trump over their public n ticket they are concerned that they're not vote it all, that's a real possibility are they will vote for like cornell west to it has a lot of appeal for younger voters. their task is not to persuade them to vote democratic but to persuade them to bother to go to the polls by the big problem there is younger voters do not see politics as it effectively to address the issues. you need to get washington to be more functional for going to energize younger voters. >> i agree with you the likelihood is to decline turn out is what they're most concerned about .6% fewer 18 -- 29 oh voters in arizona failed to turn out. he loses arizona .1% fewer black voters in georgia turn out to vote in 2024 than voted in 2020, he loses georgia p print even on the margins these groups that are not enthusiastic or it may be willing to go to cornell west or maybe to contemplate staying home, that is a prop for the democrat. >> politico has this great addition to cornell west the talk of us is going to be a four-way race? it's that u.s. represented dean phelps of minnesota moderate has been inquiries about his willingness to challenge biden and is going to new york city next week to meet with democratic donors. that's with a headache this white house is not needed. >> to bite is going to be the nominee him trying to figure how aggressive to be about the stories. shannon: about third-party issues? >> joe biden be the nominee. he outraised donald trump by more than two -- one. all these democrats were bedwetting about whether there's enthusiasm about joe biden he's raising a lot of money that's one way to judge that. i think democrats are very concerned not about dean phillips but this sort of know labels movement that joe manchin, is there going to be a moderate democrat republican who can inject the race was some enthusiasm, trying to get issues talked about in a way they might not be. that almost always ends up hurting candidates like joe biden i think democrats are very conservative joe manchin or some other third-party candidate runs it will hurt joe biden it will not hurt donald trump. shannon: it issue that is not been talked about late friday in a statement people magazine is now been talked about by the president after mainstream articles and other start raising this issue about you have seven grandkids not six. this is what the president said the first lady to come a people magazine this is not a political issue of the family matter, joe and i only what's best for all of our grandchildren including navy. so why now? >> certainly a choice to give a statement to people magazine on friday night. certainly way to bury the lead with maybe a friendlier publication. i think why now? hunter biden is not going away party's going to be an issue for the president. he's going to get asked these questions whether it is about hunter's legal issues or it from his child. i think the biden campaign the biden white house want to essentially put this to rest whforthe want to acknowledge thd reported. we see campaigns lately become a lot more personal this is something i think that could play a what it's get ahead of that. shannon: it comes behind a very tough to break for hunter biden a tough week for him but now this break of the president taking a breather. >> of the words hunter biden appear in the news it's bad for joe biden. there are no substantiated allegations against joe biden about corruption involving hunter biden there's certainly a lot of credible allegations against hunter biden his 4-year-old daughter just being one of the messier personal once at the white house just had to deal with. they were in an unsustainable position to deny she exists. shannon: another tricky place for hunter this week that devon archers heading to the hill tomorrow progress absolutely. i'm not sure he's going to involve joe biden we will learn more about the ugly sleazy things hunter biden did because devon archer was involved in them as well but both men were on the board of burisma the corrupt ukrainian company. at the same time the close friend of hunter biden with devon architecture secretary state and hundreds there was vice president of the united states in charge of the ukrainian initiative. shannon: will see if that gets released things rightly can washington hill and other places in washington thank you panel by much was you next sunday. the meantime a along serving congressman is opening up years long journey of the depths of anxiety and chronic pain for cap next a spent time with adam smith who shares a story how he finally help he needed and helping others will too. uuuhhhh... here, i'll take that! woohoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar. enter the $10,000 powered by protein max challenge. ♪ ♪ i'm christine mahon. i'm retired from public health nursing and from the army reserve. my retirement funds allow me to enjoy what i love to do. as long as you can make an impact, why stop?

>> the journey i went there is one that a lot of people go through be people in this country of some combination of chronic pain, anxiety or depression millions of people and i thought that if i would tell the story it would be helpful to people trying to figure out how to navigate on their own journey through this. i really felt they i could help advance the conversation. the more honest the more likely you are to get to the right answer. shannon: everyone is you said it struck it was something to do it against the demands of the backdrop of the divisiveness often on the hilt was a part of the journey light? >> i had a great support system. the staff on the armed services committee, my staff, my office, my family, i was very lucky and that i had a lot of people who were supporting me through that. it was still extraordinary difficult. shannon: 's house might feel like you're always running you're always fundraising. how much did that way on trying to manage all the physical and mental things you're going through as well? what's it stressed me out a lot. i was really worried about my ability to keep doing the job and keep getting reelected. it certainly added to the anxiety, my life is a good father, good father, good congressman those are my responsibilities that's what i want to do it beat down on me, and my meeting those responsibilities? i had to work really hard to do that it added to the difficulty that question. shannon: through this journey you talked to hundreds of medical providers on both the mental and physical. you found there are not easy answers a lot of times we cannot look to one person said it got the education they will be able to fix me figure this out. how frustrating was that part of it process? works for us all the mental health side the stigma that grounds mental health is a problem i had about of depression when i was 25. i had anxiety in 2005 and i did not tell anyone. when it came back in 2013 and would not go away i had to try to get help really tell a lot of people if you are having a health problem it's okay to talk about it. it is okay to seek help we need to be more supportive of that to try to figure out your way through. the second thing i would say is you do have to take a little bit of responsibility for your own health care. i don't know anything about the stuff for tickly on the mental health side i assumed i go to a professional this person is educated they're going to tell me i'm going to do it. your mind and body are yours. that person you are talking to think deal with t hundreds of thousands of people that are all a little bit different. you are going to have to work with your provider to get to the right answer. you are going to have to be involved and engage the third big message on both mental believe me, you can find help for both mental and physical problems, so be persistent, and you will be able to find it. shannon: what's the bottom line message of the book, of opening your life? >> i think this public policy as well as in heae need a more problem-solving approach to things. i think we tend to resist that, we tend to resist, you know, doing the hard work of, okay, what's really going on here. and it's part of the reason why i think we have so many prescription drugs being pass out in this country. it's the ease e city answer. you go see a doctor, give me a pill, i'll be better. i went through three-and-a-half years' worth of psychotherapy to figure out, okay, why do i have clinical anxiety. that was difficult on the physical side. we've talked a little bit about muscle activation techniques which was the thing that ultimately saved me, was the idea that your muscles don't need to be strong and flexible, they need to be activated. but that took time. it was hard work both to figure out my mind and to figure out my body. so you've got to be willing to do that work, willing to have a problem-solving approach. and i think you can, your life can get better if you do that. shannon: congressman smith's book is available wherever you like to get your books. it's a great reed. and a quick reminder, my podcast, living the bream, drops this morning. granger smith talks about how the death of his son shook hip to the core and why the hope he found actually led him to announce his retirement. his new book, like a river: finding the to -- the strength to move forward is out this week. plus, hear owl of today's program, download and subscribe at fox news podcast.com or wherever you get your podcasts. and don't miss the best moments of "fox fox news sunday,". every week, on sundays, 2 p.m. eastern on fox news channel. that's it for today. thanks for joining us. i'm shannon bream. have a wonderful week, we'll see you next "fox news sunday." ♪ ♪ if. ♪ ♪ maria: good sunday morning, everyone. welcome to "sunday morning futures." thanks so much for joining me this morning. i'm maria bartiromo. today, bribery and racketeering allegations against a sitting president from the house oversight committee. >> based on the evidence i've seen so far, i think the number's going to be north of $50 million that we're talking about here. maria: coming up, house oversight committee chairman james comer with new evidence there from bank records and 170 # suspicious activity reports fl
