IN A QUESTION. >> Gillian: KEEP AT IT. LET US KNOW WHEN YOU GET ANYTHING NEW THE PROFS IS LOSING PATIENCE. >> I WAS FOUND BY MY OBSERVATION IN A MUCH MORE SECURE PLACE, LIMITED ACCESS PLACE. STILL PUBLICLY -- FREQUENTLY TRAFFICKED PLACE BUT IT IS DOWN NEAR THE SITUATION ROOM. NORMAL AVERAGE PEOPLE CAN'T GET IN THERE EVEN WITH THE ENTRY FROM THE NORTHWEST GATE. >> IT IS A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. YOU DO HAVE PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE IN ALL KINDS OF JOBS. THE FACT THAT IT IS CLOSE TO THE SITUATION ROOM IS CERTAINLY NOTABLE. >> Gillian: LET'S BRING IN TAMMY BRUCE, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR. TAMMY, I WORKED THERE FOR FOUR YEARS AT THE NFC AND IN THE SITUATION ROOM EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE FOR FOUR YEARS. I KNOW THE AREA LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND. YOU WALK THROUGH TWO SETS OF DOUBLE DOORS. ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS A BOX WHERE YOU PUT YOUR PHONES BY THE GUARD DESK BEFORE YOU ENTER THE SITUATION ROOM. ONLY PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR PHONES IN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLEARED TO GO INTO THE SITUATION ROOM. THAT MEANS WE'RE LOOKING AT WEST WING STAFF, SOME, NOT ALL. THE ENTIRE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, A COUPLE HUNDRED FOLKS. STAFF WHO WORK INSIDE THE SITUATION ROOM, A COUPLE DOZEN OF THEM PLUS THE PEOPLE WHO VISIT ALSO PRE-CLEARED AND HAVE SECURITY CLEARANCES FROM DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES. IT IS A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREA OF THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT'S TRUE. BUT HARDLY ANYBODY IS USING THOSE PHONE BOXES. IT IS ONLY FOLKS WHO ARE GOING INSIDE THE SITUATION ROOM. IT LOOKS LIKE AN INSIDER PROBLEM. >> RIGHT. SOME GUESTS WOULD GO THROUGH THERE AS WELL, AS I DID AT ONE POINT. BUT YOU ARE EITHER INVITED OR APPROVED BY THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE. SO IT'S INTERESTING HOW LEGACY MEDIA IS MOVING ALONG THE HIGHLY TRAFFICKED IDEA PUT FORTH BY KARINE JEAN-PIERRE. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE INFLUENCE ON THE PRESIDENT, HAVE INFLUENCE ON NATIONAL SECURITY, ARE RELIED UPON TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE LIFE AND DEATH DECISIONS OFTEN, AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DONE COCAINE UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE IT CERTAINLY, YES, IS LESS DEADLY THAN ANTHRAX, WHICH MIGHT LOOK THE SAME, THE FACT IS THAT IT CREATES PARANOIA, SUSPICION, CERTAINLY CREATES AGGRESSION. IT IS EXTREMELY -- EVERY DRUG IS DANGEROUS. I DID MY SHARE IN LATE TEENS AND EARLY 20s. SOMETHING I SERIOUSLY REGRET. THIS IS A REMARKABLY SHOCKING STORY, A DANGEROUS STORY AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I THINK, UNDERSTAND THIS. IT COULD BE ANYONE. I WOULD ADD THAT THE HUNTER BIDEN ISSUE MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE WHITE HOUSE TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS PUBLICLY BECAUSE THEY MAYBE DON'T KNOW. THAT IS NOW AN ELEMENT BEYOND THE SCANDAL OF IT FOR THE FAMILY, IT NOW HAS ENTERED INTO THE NATURE OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE IS ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO WHAT SOME MIGHT ARGUE IS A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT DEPENDING ON WHO WAS USING IT AND ALSO HOW MUCH COCAINE WAS INVOLVED AND WAS FOUND. >> Gillian: THE WHITE HOUSE CERTAINLY HAS PLENTY OF LEGAL AUTHORITY TO PRESS FORWARD WITH CRIMINAL CHARGES IF THEY WANT. COCAINE IS AN ILLEGAL DRUG AND MOST CERTAINLY NOT ALLOWED IN THE WHITE HOUSE. LISTEN TO THIS. ANDREW BATES, A LOT OF REACTION TO THIS EXCHANGE. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS MADE WILD POSTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. ONE OF THEM WAS THAT THE COCAINE FOUND IN THE WHITE HOUSE WAS -- BELONGED TO EITHER THE PRESIDENT OR HIS SON. ARE YOU WILLING TO SAY THAT THAT'S NOT THE CASE, THEY DON'T BELONG TO THEM? >> I DON'T HAVE A RESPONSE TO THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE HATCH ACT. >> Gillian: SOME EXPERTS FIRED BACK. ATTORNEY SAYS CANDIDLY AT A LOSS WHY MR. BATES BELIEVES THE HATCH ACT IS RELEVANT. RICHARD PAINTER SAYS THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS INVOCATION OF THE HATCH ACT I'VE EVER HEARD. WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE LOOKING -- WE HAVE A LEGITIMACY PROBLEM WITH THE GOVERNMENT. VERY FEW PEOPLE TRUST THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING THE RIGHT THING OR THEY CAN TRUST IT IN GENERAL. THAT'S THE KIND OF ANSWER THAT MOVES INTO THE STRANGE WORD SALAD FRAMEWORK THAT IS AFFECTING MORE THAN JUST THE VICE PRESIDENT. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS. WE KNOW HOW IT WOULD BE -- HOW WE WOULD BE DEALT WITH IN A SIMILAR SITUATION. IT IS A RIDICULOUS ANSWER. LOOK, HE CAN'T REALLY ANSWER THAT. WE DON'T KNOW WHO IT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH. BUT THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO GET AN ANSWER. OTHERWISE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL BE DRAWING CONCLUSIONS AND THAT'S THE LAST THING THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. THE SECRET SERVICE, ACCORDING TO OUR OWN KAYLEIGH MCENANY MAKE REGULAR CHECKS. THEY AT LEAST HAVE A WINDOW OF WHEN THIS WOULD HAVE OCCURRED BASED ON THEIR LAST CHECK AND THEN TO THE CHECK WHERE THEY FOUND IT. SO THIS CAN BE SOLVED EVEN THOUGH SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING WE'LL NEVER KNOW, LIKE THE SUPREME COURT LEAKER. WE MUST KNOW AS LONG AS WE CARE ABOUT THE LEGITIMACY OF THE GOVERNMENT. >> Gillian: WE'LL DEFINITELY KNOW. JUST A DAY AFTER FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN REPORTED $35 MILLION RAISED LAST QUARTER THE RON DESANTIS IS REVEALING A $20 MILLION HAUL IN THE FIRST SIX WEEKS OF THEIR CAMPAIGN. NOW ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE ROBERT KENNEDY JUNIOR RAISED 3 MILLION IN THREE DAYS AND MORE THAN 6 MILLION BACK IN APRIL. "THE NEW YORK TIMES" REPORTS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE SUPPORTING KENNEDY HAS RAISED NORTH OF $10 MILLION. THAT CASH HAUL SEEMS TO SPARK SOME FRESH ANXIETY FOR THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN AND PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE PRESIDENT TO DEBATE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> WELL, I HAVE TO SAY THAT ROBERT F. KENNEDY JUNIOR IS AN IMPRESSIVE CANDIDATE. IT IS CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING HE HAS THE PEDIGREE. AMERICANS THINK OF HIS FATHER, BOBBY. WE KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS CHANGED SINCE THE -- FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE KENNEDYS AND -- MORE DEMOCRATS ARE IN LINE WITH THAT PARTY THAN THE SQUAD. DEMOCRATS DESERVE TO HAVE A DEBATE WHICH REFINES THE ISSUES THEMSELVES. I WOULD SAY REGARDING MONEY RAISED. THAT SENDS A MESSAGE WHETHER THE PRESIDENT OR ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE TO OTHER DONORS ABOUT WHO IS BEING CONSIDERED BY THE PEOPLE AS A LEGITIMATE CANDIDATE. RON DESANTIS'S HAUL, WE KNOW, AS NBC HAS REPORTED, HAS COME FROM A GOOD CHUNK OF IT FROM HIS GOVERNOR RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN MOVED TO A PAC. SO -- THERE IS AN INTEREST IN HAVING BIG NUMBERS OR AT LEAST NUMBERS THAT MAKE YOU A COMPETITOR AND SO IT IS VERY EXCITING. THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WE GET TO KNOW THESE PEOPLE. MONEY IS SUPPOSED TO EITHER -- IT SHOULD GENERATE MORE INTEREST AND MORE ACTIVITY. BIDEN, THIS IS NOT 2020. AMERICANS FEEL ABANDONED AND LIED TO BY HIM AND HIS TEAM. THIS IS NOT ONE THAT YOU CAN RUN FROM THE BASEMENT. FOOL US ONCE, SHAME ON YOU, FOOL US TWICE, SHAME ON US. IT WON'T HAPPEN. THEY ARE IN A VERY DIFFERENT POSITION NOW. >> Gillian: LET'S TALK TO POTENTIAL FIRST LADIES. FLORIDA'S FIRST LADY CASEY DESANTIS LAUNCHED MAMAS FOR DESANTIS. >> WHEN YOU COME AFTER OUR KIDS, WE FIGHT BACK. BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING WE WON'T DO TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. THEY ARE NOT YOURS. WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO EXPLOIT THEIR INNOCENCE TO ADVANCE YOUR AGENDA. WE ARE NO LONGER SILENT. WE ARE UNITED AND WE HAVE FINALLY FOUND OUR FIGHTER. >> Gillian: SHE HELD THE FIRST MAMAS FOR DESANTIS EVENTS. HER FIRST SOLO CAMPAIGN EVENT IN IOWA ALONGSIDE GOVERNOR KIM REYNOLDS. SHE FOCUSED ON PARENTAL RIGHTS POLICIES THAT PASSED IN BOTH OF THEIR STATES. >> SHE IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. SHE COMES FROM A MEDIA BACKGROUND. SHE IS RELATABLE FROM EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD, SHE IS A WONDERFUL WOMAN. CLEARLY HAS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. HOWEVER, WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH PARENTS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW FOR YEARS. IT IS A RECENT EXAMPLE WHY GLENN YOUNGKIN IS THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA. IT HAS BEEN A NATURAL ORGANIC RISING UP OF PARENTS ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM WHO, BECAUSE OF COVID, SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN CLASSROOMS, HAVE BEEN YELLED AT BY SCHOOL BOARDS, HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF BEING TERRORISTS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. ALL OF THAT, OF COURSE, HAS BEEN JUST SHOCKING AND ALARMING. SO IN A WAY IT'S VERY SMART BUT I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO GET IN FRONT OF A MOVEMENT THAT ALREADY EXISTS. YOU CAN'T BLAME THEM. IT IS A VERY GOOD MESSAGE. AGAIN SHE IS RELATABLE. WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY ARE A TEAM AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO APPEAL TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> Gillian: IT IS CERTAINLY GOING TO, YOU KNOW, GET SOME NOTICE AND SUPPORT AMONG REPUBLICANS IN A GENERAL. THE MESSAGE MIGHT NOT RESONATE. WE'LL HAVE T
