morning, i'm maria bartiromo. today, speechless and fearful. america on edge amidst a new terrorism warning from the fbi as director christopher wray is literally at a loss for words when questioned about america's safety and security urn joe biden. -- under joe biden. >> do you believe is the the united states safer from foreign terror threats today, are we safer than when joe biden took office, the day he took office? ♪ >> reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023, but the the ongoing war in the middle east has raised the threat of an attack against americans in the united states to a whole other level. since the horrific terrorist attacks committed by hamas against innocent people in israel a few weeks ago. maria: coming up, fears are rising in america of a potential terrorist attack on u.s. soil in the face of two wars underway. former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, former navy commander and admiral michael mullen is here on the most urgent and important threats america faces today. then, former secretary of state mike pompeo on china, iran and the u.s.' response to the world's dictators. then, is the president compromised, and is this the week for biden family subpoenas to go out?

and wisconsin senator ron johnson on why his potential investigation into biden crimes was slow-walked and ignored at the top of america's law enforcement agencies. >> palestine will be prix! will be free! >> free, free pal sign! maria: then, was it an insurrection this weekend? pro-palestinian demonstrators scaling the gates in front of the white house weekend as anti-semitism spikes across the country. just as jared kushner told us right here last week with. >> one of the ironies is that as an american jew, you're safer in saudi arabia right now than you are on a college campus like columbia university. i spoke at the conference, they allowed me to speak freely. maria: but as attacks on jews rise and anti-semitism spikes, the biden administration creates a plan to stop islamophobia and puts kamala harris in charge of it. coming up, former housing and development secretary and retired neuroto prosurgeon dr. ben carson on a divided america and why he is endorsing donald trump's return to the white house as the form former leaves joe -- leads joe biden in five of the six swing states despite four indictments, a gag order and ahead of testimony tomorrow. it's all right here, right now on "sunday morning futures." ♪ ♪ maria: and we begin this sunday morning with potential corruption at the highest levels. house oversight committee chairman james comer revealing new evidence this week of what he says is influence peddling and potential bribery by joe biden and his family. the latest evidence is this check in 2017 which joe biden received, a personal check from james and sara rah biden, for $40,000 which comer says was laundered money from cefc china energy which, of course, is backed by the chinese communist party. now, in that deal hunter biden and a cefc associate allegedly received $5 million from the cc cp-linked energy company with hunter or biden wiring $4 # 90,000 of that money to to a company he controlled. james and sara biden hen withdraw $50,000 from their company, and they deposit the money into their personal bank account with the couple then cutting a check to joe biden for $40,000 listing it as a loan payment. the transaction allegedly the same business with dealing which joe biden was listed as the big guy to the receive 10% i of all monies in an e-mail sent by biden family associate james gil, ear. the check is obviously 10% of the initial $40 to 90,000 -- 400,000 paid to the hunter biden. joining me now is house oversight committee chairman, congressman james comer. mr. chairman, thanks very much for being here this morning. >> good morning. maria: is that $40,000 check in step with with 10% for the big guy? >> it sure is. and if you go back to that e-mail that you just put on the screen, tony bobulinski -- who was also supposed to be in on that deal with cefc and the bidens where joe biden was supposed to the get 10% according to hunter biden -- it matches up perfectly. we traced the $40,000 check that joe biden received all the way back to that whatsapp message where hunter biden claimed his father was sitting beside him where he was shaking down the chinese operative. that's where that $40,000 was triggered. we, just a few weeks after that text message, that $40,000 landed in joe biden's pocket after the bidens laundered it. but that money came from china, putt evidence that joe biden -- further evidence that joe biden benefited from his family's influence-peddling scheme. maria: well, you have now released a lot of evidence with regard to this situation whether it be witness testimony, 176 suspicious activity reports, now these checks going directly to the joe biden. he says he never discussed business with his son, was never in business with his son. are you planning on calling hem in and getting subpoenas out? >> absolutely. we've always planned on doing that. this has been a painful process, maria. we've been obstructed, we've been fought at every turn not just by the bidens' big money attorneys, but also by the federal government. the the irs has on victim thed, the, the the oj has obstructed, the treasury has obstructed, fbi has obstructed, and the democrats on the oversight committee have pretty much been the biden legal defense team. but through it all, we have followed the money. with we've done in the right way. we've subpoenaed bank accounts, and now we have enough bank accounts, maria, where we can actually trace the money. we can connect the dots. because as you've shown on the screen with this series of transactions, that's caused money laundering. and this was a very organized criminal enterprise by the biden family. this wasn't just some drug addict, you know, doing concoctions and making wild transactions. this was very organized. and the reason they did these complicated transactions was to disguise the source of the revenue and to deceive the irs from paying taxes. is so what you're going to see in the coming weeks is a lot of loans. anytime the bidens have money, they're going to claim service the a loan because you don't have to report loans on your taxes. if you're the irs and you're just looking at someone's taxes, you would never know that joe biden got who to checks for loan repayments. you wouldn't know about all the money that we're going to show that james biden and hunter biden took in from loans. loans is a way, it's an a spe gal part of money laundering where you deceive from the irs about the revenue you're taking in. in other words, you're a tax cheat. maria: wow. so in other words, in addition to potential bribery, influence peddling, there could be tax evasion as a wellsome. >> we always see in the biden transactions are loans, loans, loans, but you never see where they made any interest payments on those. very seldom do you see where they even made a principal payment on the loans. i think the biden -- the next big question of the biden family including joe biden is going to have to answer to the american people, what exactly are the terms of these loans? what type of documentation do you have on these loans? were you going to pay these loans backsome were these forgivable loans? were these grants? if so, in addition to influence peddling which we have clearly proved the bidens were doing, they have tax fraud implications with the irs. maria: when are you expecting to issue the subpoenas to bring biden family members in front of your committee, and how many subpoenas are you expecting to issue? >> well, i think the subpoenas are imminent. i think this is going to be a big week. look, first of all, we know tuesday my friend jim jordan who's also on the oversight committee, but he's chair of the judiciary committee doing a great job investigating the weapon unyization of the federal government -- weaponization of the federal government, he's bringing in special counsel weiss for a deposition. that is a very important participant of the overall impeachment inquiry investigation. there are also a lot of other documents that i think are about to be released this week pertaining to loans and different things that make no sense, that are completely counter to the what joe biden has said publicly. we're also, as you know, we've subpoenaed a lot of bank documents, and it's taken a long time to get these bank documents in. we're waiting on a few more documents to come in that we've been successfully subpoenaed but taking forever. and i don't think the average person can imagine how many different checking accounts the president's son had. and considering he didn't have a legitimate business, that in itself and -- in itself is an enormous red flag. once all those come in, think you're going to the see swift action on bidens, and i would predict somewhere around two dozen subpoenas in the very near future. maria: two dozen subpoenas, mean subpoenas are iminnocenter, and you said -- imminent, and you said each of these llcs has dozens of accounts attached today to the llc? >> some had a single account, some had multiple accounts. but, you know, it's been very difficult cannot only to -- difficult not only to obtain the bank statements, but to put the pieces the together. again, i can't emphasize this enough, this was a very organized criminal scheme by the bidens. and here's the problem for joe biden. he lied about his knowledge and involvement of his family's shady influence-peddling schemes. we've proven the family was influence peddling. even the democrats in the media won't touch that. we have proven the bidens were influence peddling. now what we're looking at is joe's involvement. and what we have proven in the last two weeks with the checks the joe biden is joe biden benefited directly from his family's shady influence-peddling schemes. and it doesn't matter whether or not they come up with some type of document that says it was a loan which it wasn't, but let's just say that they come up with something, the only way they could have paid joe biden is through the family's influence peddling. so either joe biden got a $240,000 kickback which he didn't pay taxes on, or joe biden actually did make a loan to the family, and they paid him back through proceeds of influence peddling and $40,000 of that being the 10% from that cefc deal where joe biden was the big guy. either way, joe biden's $240,000 better off because of his family's criminal activity. maria: and, you know, i know it's been hard to get all of the republicans on the same page for a long time. we saw that play out in the speaker's race. but i see that your colleague, don bacon, tweeted out this video from the "wall street journal" explaining the influence peddling potential here. tell me about that and how important that is, that you see somebody like a don bacon tweeting this out. he says this "wall street journal" video explains the $240,000 payment that president biden received from his son and brother and where where that money originated from. the president must address this, because this looks like old-fashioned corruption. your thoughts. >> don bacon's one of the most respected members of congress. in fact, he was the guy that a lot of moderate democrats wanted to try to get elected speaker of the house. don bacon doesn't want to do an unnecessary impeachment. he's a straight shooter. he's a moderate, good guy. but it's obvious that joe biden's lying about this. "politico," which has attacked me for nine months for having the awe audacity to lead an investigation against joe biden, hay publishedded a story today outlining numerous lies joe biden has said. better late than never. what you're seeing, maria, is momentum at the obvious, the obvious being that the president of the united states has lied about his family's criminal activity, and he was a central figure in the influence-peddling scheme. maria: wow. well, you've called it a criminal scheme. based on what you know today, congressman, should joe biden be impeached? >> i think he should, but that's going to be left up to the speaker. you know, people is ask me why i haven't put someone in jail yet. all i can do is is investigate. the house of representatives can determine whether or not to impeachment but at the end of day, we're going to need an attorney general who does the right hinge and prosecutes people -- thing and prosecutes people according to the law and doesn't have a two-tiered system of justice. maria: congressman, thank you very much for your work. we will be following it, of course. mr. chairman, thank you. >> thank you. maria: james comer joining us. and now this -- >> do you believe is the united states safer from foreign terror threats today, are we safer than when joe biden took office, from the day he took office? [no audio] >> what i would say to the you is that the terror threats have elevated, but i also think there are a lot of things the country has done throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them. maria: that's fbi director christopher wray literally at a loss for words when asked if the country is as secure and safe today turned the biden administration as it was during the trump administration. this comes as wray is warning americans of the elevated risk of a terrorist attack on u.s. soil amid war in the middle east. meanwhile, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas admitting more than 6000,000 people are known to have evaded border patrol agents at the southern border and disappeared into the u.s. under fiscal year 2023, the number of gotaways at 1.6 million. it, of course, does not account for the unknown number of people who crossed illegally altogether, and and we are talking about 7 million people crossing the border on joe biden's watch. the national security threat here at a home, of course, is elevated. former secretary of state and fox news contributor mike pompeo joining me now with more on that. secretary, thank you so much for being here. your thoughts on where we are today versus your administration when you were secretary of state with the trump administration. >> well, maria, thanks for having me on this morning. i think you can see from director wray's response he knows what we can all plainly see with our eyes, that we are less safe today, america is less secure is. americans traveling abroad are now being with asked to come home from multiple cups. we have -- countries. we have millions of people who have infiltrated and, goodness gracious, they've been here for a couple of years, about same length of time that hamas took to plan october 7th. the risk is definitely heightened. it's a direct result of the third administration of barack obama, a weak idea of america in the world. and when you evince that weakness, it is entirely -- can you get entirely what we've seen. you get the bad guys being provocative, and and you see the bad guys begin to move in ways that threaten each and every american here in the homeland. maria: i want to get your take, secretary, on the role of china here because we have this graphic that shows the level of propaganda coming i out of tiktok supporting hamas right now and airport-israel. anti-israel. and this is just tiktok. stand with palestine, stand with israel, and you can see the difference. do you believe that communist china is following what's happening in israel and trying to pile on here as has been the case in the past? where does china fit in here? >> there's no doubt, maria. you and i have talked about china for four and a half years now, maybe longer. the chinese communist party talks about american decline, but they don't just talk about it, they advocate it. and you see that in all forms of social media, in their espionage operations here in the united states. they are deeply watching the united states. they are working alongside hamas, cheering them on in spite of the fact that there were 1400 barbaric deaths that that we shouldn't forget 30 americans who lost their lives that day as a well. the chinese communist party, the russians, the iranian, they are all working against the basic human decency that america has stood for for 250 years, and they are knee deep in this conflict as well. and they're watching how we behave in ukraine today. they're saying are you going to stay with them, or are you going to let them fall. they're watching american leadership and its absent, right? if you say that a minor incursion is okay, pride, or you describe isis as the the jv, president obama, when you do those things, xi jinping says we're going to get after this in ways that we wouldn't dare do if america was strong and its leadership was prepared to defend the american people. maria: four embassies have closed under biden, which is also striking to mention, and we also have these worries that we could see an attack here in the u.s. that's what we heard from christopher wray the other day. what are your thoughts there? >> yeah, the risk here is real. we've known for a long time that there are islamist, radical islamist cells operating in and around europe. we mow that the islamists tried to the attack the saudi ambassador at a restaurant in georgetown. we know this as a very real threat to the united states of america. and the fact that we don't have control of our borders, that we don't know who's coming in and out of our country is something that the bad guys have been observing for years, and goodness knows the scale of the infiltration many just these last two years with now 7 million people coming across our border, how many of them came here with malintent. maria: and, of course, none of these issues come up when 3r50eud ifen meets with xi jinping. the reason we keep putting a spotlight on the reason for bribery, influence peddling here, is because we want to know if he is compromised and and actually unable to deal with this threat because he's taken money from china. what are your thoughts in terms of the hold that china seems to have on president? >> watch the actions, not the words when it comes to this administration dealing with china. their language is actually okay, but then hay send the climate czar to lead american foreign policy, right? talking to the chinese communist party about coal while the chinese communist party is bringing fentanyl into our country. watch how they deal with the chinese communist party and international institutions where they literally bow down to them in ways that are fundamentally inconsistent with protecting the american people. we've seen time and time again. president biden is unprepared to deal with this serious threat from the chinese communist party whether that's their economic activity, their predatory activity around the globe. he undermines america when he talks about america being back while demonstrating absolute weakness abroad. maria: and that's what we're seeing at the southern border. he says one thing, but we can all see that the border is wide open. secretary, good to see you. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. yes, ma'am. have a good sunday morning, maria. maria: secretary tear of state mike pompeo. quick break, then president biden and xi jinping are set to meet next week many san francisco amid a search of espionage activity by the ccp on u.s. soil. admirable mike -- admiral michael mullen is here with the war on israels calculating. -- escalating. he's next. say with us. ♪ ♪ designed smarter. genius! like 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more, so sam can make smart ideas, a brilliant reality! chase for business. make more of what's yours. hi, i'm sharon, and i lost 52 pounds on golo. i realized i needed to make a change when i looked in the mirror and did not recognize myself. i saw the golo commercial and i liked how they weren't actors. they just seemed like people that were just happy with themselves and had true results. since being on golo, i truly feel like i'm back to the best me i can be. try golo. it worked for me, and i'm real. (soft music) maria: welcome back. president biden is expected to the meet with chinese president xi jinping on the sidelines of the asia-pacific summit next week in san francisco. amid a surge in espionage activity by the ccp in america, secret police stations many major or u.s. cities, intimidation of u.s. military flights and ships and the flow of fentanyl into america which, of course, is killing american citizens. china is also exerting influence over israel's war against hamas on tiktok with algorithm ims expanding propaganda of hamas support. joining me now is the former chairman of joint chiefs of staff, admiral michael mullen. admiral, thank you very much for being here this morning. we have a will the to the talk about. from your standpoint, what is most important and urgent right now? >> i think the most urgent challenge right now, maria, is the middle east. obviously, what's happened in israel and to israel -- [audio difficulty] and my biggest worry, actually, is that could spin out of control to a larger war in the middle east. and i think leaders around the world immediate to the figure out a way to try to help contain that, and that includes us, it includes arab and european leaders as well as xi jinping, you know, the leader of china. that's the biggest concern that i have. i think hamas basically when this happened, i described it as a suicide act on hair part. i mow the israelis very well. i think they're going to do everything they possibly can to eliminate it. and i think the key question which a lot of people are asking is what's next. part of what's next is hamas is no longer in charge of gaza. part of what needs to be next is who's going to run gaza, who's going the take care of those people. and i would like to see long term a solution that gets to a two-state option which has been talked about a lot. and, actually, get to a point where there is a resolution consistent with the abraham accords can that a aligns many of the middle east countries, near countries, with israel. that's going to be the tough given what's happened, but it should be something we focus on. maria: and, of course, the abraham accords' architect was just with us, secretary mike pompeo. they were getting close to the saudis joining the abraham accords, and then this happened. so you think that's most urgent. what about what's most important? >> well, in addition to what's most urgent, i think we've got to come to grips with how to isolate iran. it's almost like can we, and it's a huge challenge, make iran the north korea of the persian gulf. in any way possible. they are behind all of this. it's been almost 45 years, and we haven't figured that out, and we need to as an international community figure that out. i think what's most important is our relationship with china. i think that is long term the biggest danger on the planet focused heavily on taiwan and focused in a way where xi jinping seems to be leaning heavily to do something in terms of making sure taiwan becomes part of china. and the taiwanese people are more and more independent, more and more independent-minded. he was a key election at the beginning of next year which is, which will send a big signal as well. and it's as if they're pulling apart. and the more and more they pull apart without leadership from the tom, without leadership from xi jinping and president biden to come together and say we're not going to go to war over taiwan and we'll figure out how to do that, it's just going to get more and more dangerous. i actually think there from a relationship standpoint, maria, china and the u.s. continue to come apart, and i think that's dangerous not just for us, but percent world. maria: well, i mean, you want them to come out of this meeting next week and say we won't go to war over taiwan, right? >> i think that would be a huge first step. maria: so, i mean, look, the ccp has been stealing intellectual property for decades, they're intimidating our people, they are, you know, behind the flow of fentanyl into america. you know, what should the u.s. do in terms of a response? some people say, look, i want to decouple. i'm ready to have this thing come apart. why do you believe it's so dangerousesome. >> i just think -- dangerous? >> i just hi if we decouple, we have no way to the communicate, and we have every way to miscalculate. i mean in specific, we have over 1300 sanctions on the chinese. i don't know how effective they are. but, for instance, the fentanyl issue, we've got the two companies that actually make the the precursors, we've got them sanctioned, and the chinese are saying we're not going to let you deal with these companies or deal with this issue until the sanctions are removed. so i think we have -- i think we have to have ways the stay in touch. obviously, economically we are hugely integrated with each other. and and so decoupling can't happen overnight. i think it's a responsibility of leaders who are in charge of this relationship bring us forward in a way so we can both live on this earth in a constructive way. we don't have to the like each other or be great friends, but we're going to have to deal with each other so that the peoples of our country and the world can see a better way of life. maria: well, again, why? why is it so dangerousesome. >> because we don't is any way to the talk to each other. maria: okay. >> because we are, we will be full of disputes. and at the same time -- and i'm actually happy to see us start talk about nuclear weapons -- chinese, their buildup of nuclear weapon, these weapons that can essentially eliminate the world has been extraordinary. and to not be able to have discussions about how do you contain those weapons which could end life on earth, i think, is really important. and if we're completely apart, there's no way to have those discussions. as they build up their military and their capability and we do the same thing. the outcome without any way to connect with each other, i think, por trends a disaster for the world. maria: admiral, i want to the ask you about our own weapons and whether or not you peel good about that and where we are. we hope you'll come back soon. admiral michael mullen, thank you, sir. and thank you for your service. >> thanks, maria. maria: we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ bass pro shops and cabela's stands tall in our unwavering commitment to honoring our heroes. we extend our gratitude... beyond words... by proudly offering a legendary salute discount to those who protect our freedoms. our dedication to those who selflessly serve us runs deep within our dna. it's not just a discount... it's a commitment to making a difference. because every day is a chance for us to say thank you. bass pro shops and cabela's... your adventure starts here. when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan. that's why we're offering "seven things every medicare supplement should have". it's yours free, just for calling the number on your screen. and when you call, a knowledgeable, licensed agent-producer can answer any questions you have and help you choose the plan that's right for you. the call is free, and there's no obligation. you see, medicare covers only about 80% of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. that's why so many people purchase medicare supplement insurance plans like those offered by humana. they're designed to help you save money, and pay some of the costs medicare doesn't. depending on the medicare supplement plan you select, you could have no deductibles or copayments for doctor visits, hospital stays, emergency care, and more. you can keep the doctors you have now, ones you know and trust, with no referrals needed. plus, you can get medical care anywhere in the country, even when you're traveling! with humana, you get a competitive monthly premium, and personalized service, from a healthcare partner working to make healthcare simpler and easier for you. you can choose from a wide range of standardized plans. each one is designed to work seamlessly with medicare and help save you money! so how do you find the plan that's right for you?

>> well, first of all, this letter, this whistleblower that came to senator grassley's office is not getting the attention he deserves. basically what it reveals is there were 40 confidential human sources the fbi had that had derogatory information on the bidens. and basically, the fbi shut them all down. they had the foreign influence task force. my staff calls that unit to catch and kill derogatory information. they'd final out where an fbi office had that, they'd swoop in there and label it russian disinformation. so, you know, this is a massive, massive scandal from my standpoint, and as serious as the corruption of the biden crime family is and as appreciative i am of chairman jordan and coming r in terms of their ongoing investigation filling many pieces of the puzzle, i think an even greater scandal is the corruption in the federal law enforcement, department of justice, our intel committee.. -- community. i asked christopher wray whether he had read -- i just assumed, you obviously have is seen and read the letter chairman grassley sent you -- and he said, well, i'm generally aware of it. i said, oh, you ought the read that thing. that's how oblivious he is to what's happening underneath him in the fbi. maria: that's the question, is it oblivious or intentional? is what's going on with these agencies? if you can see crime as pure as a day, why aren't we seeing anything done about it? also what's amazing to me is these e-mails that were uncovered. biden had e-mails, 82,000 pages of e-mails, with different names under a pseudonym. different -- he was doing a different name, and hunter biden was on those e-mails. >> of course, the other scandal here is the corrupt and complicit media that covers up everything, you know, as it relates to corruption of democrats and the bidens. and so if you really trace this back, you know, you go back to the exoneration of hillary clinton, you see the corruption of the crossfire hurricane investigation, you see the coordination of the first trump impeachment where you had whistleblowers working with adam schiff, you follow that throw to the -- through to the obstruction of our investigation into hunter biden by the fbi and intelligence community, you take a look at the intelligence community writing that letter with 51 former members saying the laptop was russian information operation. again, this is massive corruption. this is massive coordination. we had democrat senators who were obstructing our investigation claiming that senator grassley and i were soliciting and disseminating russian information. this didn't just happen. this had to be coordinated. we need something like a church commission to get to the bottom9 of this but, again, the media is not going to look into this. if we had an unbiased media, you wouldn't have that corruption in federal agencies, but we have a highly partisan media, and it's going to be a problem getting to the bottom of all of this. maria: and why do you think that is? why is the media so far unwilling to look under all of this evidence? >> because most journalists graduated from colleges and universities that were taken over by the radical left. so we don't graduate journalists, by and large, we graduate advocates for the left. it's an enormous problem in this country. i was listening the your interview with chairman comer. he used the same word i'm using, this has been obvious. it's obvious, the corruption of the biden family. for example, the $40,000 supposed loan. all you have to do if you're the fbi and you have their investigatory power, you just, you subpoena those bank records, you get in there, find them quickly. you find out, okay, did james biden -- did joe biden make a loan to james biden to have it repaid? this is not rocket science. i'm an accountant. it's easy to change these the transactions. now, hunter biden made it more difficult with this lab runt of companies set up for money laundering. but if the fbi would have been doing the investigation with integrity,ing if david weiss would have been, we turned over hundreds of pages of bank records. what did they do with them? the u.s. attorney, the former attorney that bill barr is set up to gather all this information, he didn't even mow about the hunter biden laptop until it was made public, by public reports in october. maria: yeah. >> this is massive corruption at some of the highest e levels of these law enforcement agencies, but they are the law, and hay hold themselves above the law. and as a result, they've insulated themselves from congressional oversight and public scrutiny. this is a major, major problem in this country. maria: well, what about the witness testimony and these reports of intimidation to some of those whistleblowers? your thoughts on what the whistleblowers are facing as they try to expose the truth. >> yeah, we have very strong laws protecting whistleblowers, they just aren't used well. so you have these courageous people who come forward and they do whistle blow and they do describe corruption, if they go public, they get destroyed. which is why the whistleblowers coming to our offices are remaining confidential, you know, they're anonymous. but again, that doesn't have same impact. we need more whistleblowers coming forward. we will protect you if you want to remain anonymous, but we actually need people who have the courage to identify themselves and start telling the truth. if we're ever going to restore credibility and integrity to these agencies, we need people with integrity in those agencies coming forward. we will do everything we can to protect them. but again, the reality of the situation is with all these laws in place protecting whistleblowers, they're not, they're not perfect, and whistleblowers when make themselves public get destroyed by the media, get destroyed by the left. maria: wow. senator, thank you very much for being here this morning. a real education. senator ron johnson joining us in wisconsin. >> have a good day. maria: quick break, and then just 71 days until the iowa caucuses. former president trump is leading the field in the latest fox news power rankings for the republican presidential nomination. former housing and urban development secretary dr. benson will join me on his recent endorsement of the president despite four indictments and a gag order on trump as the 45th president leads many five of the six swing states this morning. stay with us. ♪ ♪ struck out with the cheap seats?

>> well, i think any objective person recognizes that during the trump administration can and the pre-covid days we had a booming economy. we had a secure border. we had energy independence. we had record low unemployment. we had hope for the future, we had respect if the world. and -- in the world. and those are good reasons, but there's an even more important reason. on september the 17th, 1787, when benjamin franklin came out of that last constitutional convention, he was asked, sir, what do we have here? a monarchy or a remix? he said -- or a republic? he said a republic, if you can keep it. we've kept it for over 240 years, but we're as a close to losing it right now as we ever have been as the enenemies of donald trump is trying to weaponize our justice system. they're destroying our system of checks and and balances without looking into the with the future, without thinking about the implications of that and recognizing that without those things in place, we become another two-bit banana republic. and this is a serious issue. and it's not, this is not a popularity contest. there's some people who say i don't like that man. his policies are good, but i don't like him. maria: yeah. >> they need to stop and think about their children and their grandchildren and the future of this country and what is going to the happen and what we are facing and why our system was designed the way it is so that the people could have the final word. maria: yeah. >> we cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated into thinking that we hate each other. maria: yeah. and one of the things that i believe and i'm thinking about as you're talking is this gag order on president trump. he's the leading candidate, he is being faced with these indictments, he's going of to testify in new york, and the judge is saying he can't say a word about anything. jonathan turley says it's unconstitutional. you say? >> two-bit banana republic. that's exactly the kind of thing that they do, and we cannot stand for it. we have to be able to be the land of the brave -- the land of the free, we have to be the home of the brave. we have to be brave and stand up for what we believe in. maria: well, i want to the talk more about that because i think increasingly the population is. i want to get your take on the support for the 45th president. quick break and we'll come back with dr. ben carson, right after this. ♪ ♪ entresto is the #1 heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. maria: welcome back. i am back with dr. ben carson. dr. carson, as you know, president trump is in this new york case this week, and he will likely testify. there's a complaint calling for trump's thy trial judge's clerk new york trial judge's clerk to be disbarred for political donations. i'm wondering what you think people are thinking about all of these indictments and president trump. the clerk for the new york justice a appears to have violated judicial rules preventing officers of the court from making political donations according to breitbart. what is your take on that? >> well, my take is that they're clear wily doing everything they can to disenfranchise president trump because they're afraid of him. and they, there's nothing that they will not consider doing. but the american people are smart enough to recognize what's going on. the reason that he cons to do well -- continues to do well in the polls is they know that having an open southern border is an invitation the for terrorism and that we're going to suffer the consequences of that. maria: right. >> they know that continuing to pile debt is going to jeopardize our position as the reserve currency. and when the chinese gain control of that, that they're going to finish the destruction of this nation. but they also though that we have a history -- know that we have a history, a strong history of courage -- maria: yeah. >> and that's what it's going to the take right now to save our country. people are going to have to be willing to stand up for what they believe. hr. hr. some are. look at "the new york times" this morning saying that trump is leading biden in five of the critical swing states. he's beating joe biden. what are your thoughts on african-american community today and and its support for donald trump?
