10:00 am
ohio. and after more than a year the president of the united states says he will go there. one year since that toxic train derailment spewed chemicals into the town's air, soil and water supply all contaminated. the president originally promised to visit the town weeks after the derailment and now more than a year later he will go. >> it's been a year, and the president has been on many vacations since. he's been to st. croix, camp david countless times, this feels like a box checking exercise and i don't think the people in east palestine appreciate that very much. >> harris: we will cover it stem to stern. rosanna, i love that you are having a show on fox nation, and i'll see you next week. >> e >> e >> e >> emily: congratulations on the
10:01 am
book. >> president biden: make no mistake, make no mistake. putin is responsible for navalny's death. what has happened to navalny is more proof of putin's brutality. no one should be fooled, not in russia, at home, anywhere in the world. >> john: president biden blaming vladimir putin for the death of long time russian opposition leader alexei navalny but stopping short of consequences if he died in russian custody. good friday to you, good friday to you. >> jacqui: good to be with you, john. jacqui heinrich in for sandra smith. >> john: biden added the tragedy reminds us of the stakes of the moment calling on the house to pass the foreign aid bill. >> jacqui: dan hoffman standing by. but first to lucas tomlinson
10:02 am
live at the white house for us. lucas. >> well, jacqui, president biden is set to take off marine one in a short time from now for east palestine but he wanted to speak publicly for the first time since the reported death from the russian services of opposition leader alexei navalny, in prison for years. biden was asked, was this an assassination attempt, here is how he answered. >> was this an assassination? >> the answer is we don't know exactly what happened but there is no doubt that the death of navalny was a consequence of something that putin and his thugs did. >> john and jacqui, as you mentioned, just three years at an a summit in geneva that president biden was asked what would happen if navalny died in prison, he said there would be devastating consequences. he did say he was exploring other options. the president also took the
10:03 am
opportunity while speaking to blast former president trump over his recent comments about nato, about those countries on spending, it's required 2% of gdp on defense and seeming to open the door for an russian invasion, if they are not spending the money. president biden also spoke about the recent intelligence report that russia is developing and moving forward, anti-satellite missile technology. it's notable a few years ago in 2021 that russia did successfully destroy an old soviet satellite flying in space, so they have demonstrated that capability, jacqui and john. >> john: lucas, to that point, the former president's remarks about something he said would have been years ago, let's just play out that little bit of the biden news conference a second ago. listen here. >> all of us should reject the dangerous statements made by the previous president that invited russia to invade our nato allies if they were not paying up. he said if an ally did not pay
10:04 am
their dues, encourage russia to do whatever the hell they want. i guess i should clear my mind here a little bit and not say what i'm really thinking. but let me be clear. this is an outrageous thing for a president to say. i can't fathom, i can't fathom, rolling over in their graves hearing this. >> john: what did you make of that moment, lucas? >> certainly another unforced error from the president most critics will say at a time the white house saying behind the scenes the president is clear, his mental acuity should not be questioned. as we saw in the hur reports and moments like that, it gives more ammunition to critics and reason 86% of americans according to a recent abc news poll think the president is too old to be president. the president also took the opportunity, john, to blast congress for departing on a two-week vacation without
10:05 am
passing the foreign aid bill, which of course would send $60 billion to ukraine. a reporter asked him would the death of navalny help get that passed, the president said he hopes the death of navalny will help get that money passed, john. >> john: lucas, thank you. jacqui, you spent every day there, what do you make of that moment? >> jacqui: it's hard to tell if there was an issue with the prompter, usually he's reading from something and starts taking questions he's looking around the room and in that moment you can see him sort of go off of whatever he's looking at and start looking around and speaking off the cuff. that's the only thing that i can think of maybe explains that. but of course, it looks to everyone like he's having a hard time developing a thought, and that doesn't work for him given the current issues he's facing, voter concerns about list age. >> john: given the current environment and atmosphere around him. dan hoffman, former music cia station chief and fox news contributor. do you have any doubt that alexei navalny was murdered?
10:06 am
he was in a court appearance yesterday, he looked fine, he was joking with the judge about the need for the judge to send him money, even the judge seemed to appreciate the joke and today he's dead. >> yeah, it brings to mind, john, chris wallace's interview with vladimir putin at the helsinki summit which i covered in finland, and chris wallace asked putin, why is it that so many of your political opponents end up dead, and putin did not have much of an answer, that's just the way the kgb operates and the successor organization, fsb, which putin led. i think there's no question based on what we know that vladimir putin and his corrupt regime murdered alexei navalny. navalny was being mistreated, not fed properly, not access to proper medical care. many concerns about his health and this just another tragedy for those in russia who have
10:07 am
sought to bring some form of liberty, freedom and democracy to that country. >> jacqui: dan, what do you make of the timing of this, five weeks out from the russian elections, and security conference is happening right now. there's a battle to get ukraine funding. what, if anything, can you read into the timing of this? >> yeah, i think for vladimir putin passed is a prologue. he tried to kill a russian intelligence detector in the u.k., with the same poison he used to try to kill navalny. just before presidential elections in russia. he did it as a message to his own people. don't betray me or else you will face these sorts of consequences and i think that was the message to his security services and the population at large by killing navalny. navalny, that's the only threat he represented to vladimir putin. it's just vladimir putin
10:08 am
demonstrating to his own people that they shouldn't betray him, and with elections scheduled for march 15 to 17, i think that's why putin did this. remember, also that putin's primary challenger, not to say putin is not going to win by a landslide, he's been barred from participating in the election. so, he's not dead yet, he just is not allowed to participate, and this is all tone sure the czar, vladimir putin, remains in power despite the barbaric war in ukraine, and resulted over 300,000 casualties that president biden highlighted this morning. >> john: the other detail with russia, and president biden spoke a couple minutes ago, this idea that russia is developing some sort of space-based satellite killer mechanism. here is what the president said in his news conference. >> there is no nuclear threat to the people of america or anywhere else in the world with what russia is doing at the
10:09 am
moment, number one. number two, anything that they are doing, or they will do, relates to satellites and space and damaging those satellites potentially. number three, there is no evidence that they have made a decision to go forward with doing anything in space either. >> john: dan, what we were talking to you about a couple days ago, and congressman mike turner, head of the house intelligence committee gave us an indication of this in a press release that he put out three years ago, four years ago now i guess, no, three years ago, in which he was concerned about russia testing a system similar to this. in terms of this idea of an nuclear component, do we know if there would be a nuclear weapon attached to this or the whole platform might be nuclear powered? >> well, russia would have to launch, be able to launch their nuclear capable satellite that
10:10 am
would -- that would be in the space, and be able to target our own vulnerable satellites. look, i have to take issue with president biden's comments. i don't know why he's trying to reassure us that this is not a major threat. this is a threat. this is what russia does. they are using -- they developed hypersonic missiles, they are conducting a massive war against ukraine and closely aligned with north korea, iran, china, a time for the president to ring the alarm bells and he did ask congress to come back from the vacation and pass the spending bill to help ukraine but he should have been more forceful and called out russia for reckless development of nuclear capability in space. let's just be clear. the arms race in space is on. good thing we have a space force. but i think he should have been ringing the alarm bells, not reassure the american people. it's a bad time to be appeasing russia or a break on congress when we need our elected
10:11 am
officials on capitol hill doing their jobs. >> jacqui: turner's press release said conversations with allies and partners had not happened yet to a degree he was comfortable this threat would be addressed as soon as it needs to be. and i was speaking with an administration official why ed said part of the reason the president had not spoken about it or declassified because the u.s. is in the process of talking not just to allies but other countries involved in the space race, namely china and india. how significant will it be to get a country like china or india on board to come down on russia against this and can we depend on that? >> you know, even in the worst of times, if you go back to the cold war days, we were able to negotiate arms control treaties with the soviet union. china has been showing absolutely no interest in arms control negotiations with the united states. and the question for the biden administration is whether we can
10:12 am
bring this issue to the fore. i don't expect we'll get it done with russia, not given the current situation in ukraine. it's grown far more difficult than ever, and that's one of the reasons why i think today's world, these national security threats that we face, are greater, more complex and frankly dangerous to our nation than ever before. i just don't hold that much hope we'll be able to negotiate arms control on earth, let alone in space. >> john: dan, thank you for your thoughts. stand by if you would, lots more to talk about regarding this issue. >> jacqui: the meantime, bring in charlie hurt, washington times opinion editor and fox news contributor. charlie, what do you make of what we heard from the president today responding to the death of navalny and how big is this moment in terms of measuring his ability to respond to a power like russia to something that he said previously would have devastating consequences if it came to pass?
10:13 am
>> yeah, well, the whole speech was kind of strange, especially with the sort of glitch, yet another glitch in the middle of it that i don't think gives a whole lot of people a whole lot of faith in his ability to lead. and of course, obviously the rest of the world, including putin is watching. but in terms of his attacks on vladimir putin, obviously vladimir putin is a thug and should be held responsible for, you know, anything what has happened to navalny, but larger question is then why has your administration and policies of your administration done everything you could to pave the way for vladimir putin to run rampant in his part of the world? and why have all of your policies given the green light, from, you know, jacking up oil and gas prices that made vladimir putin wealthy enough to invade ukraine, to his failure to prevent the invasion of ukraine. it sort of beggar's belief to
10:14 am
hear him attack his predecessor for vladimir putin on this sad day instead of sort of looking inwardly and trying to figure out well, what can you do to contain vladimir putin? what can you do to not continue to help vladimir putin? >> john: i thought it was unusual in the news conference the president was asked about something he said in 2021, he said dire consequences for russia if navalny died in custody. when he was asked about the question earlier today, a few minutes ago, here is what he said. >> that was three years ago and in the meantime they faced a hell of a lot of consequences. lost and/or wounded 350,000 russian soldiers. made position where they have been subjected to great sanctions across the board. and we are contemplating what else could be done. >> john: he said ok, what i said was three years ago, they faced lot of consequences since then, but nothing related to navalny.
10:15 am
is that an indication, charlie, he's not planning on doing anything? >> it sure sounds from that he's talking about moving the red line again, which of course is never what you do when you are dealing with somebody like vladimir putin. and of course that kind of appeasement, and we have seen it in other parts of the world, specifically iran or hamas, that kind of appeasement allows somebody like vladimir putin to do exactly what it is that he's doing on the world stage today. >> jacqui: charlie, the administration has framed the response to putin's aggression what it can do to help ukraine. obviously on capitol hill a bitter battle to secure more funding but the president has said that he can in fact do more through executive action on the border. there was an nbc report two weeks ago saying that they were weighing something like that. is it -- does this moment make it ripe for him to take some sort of executive action,
10:16 am
appease the republicans in the house saying look, we don't do anything for ukraine until we do something about the border. does this increase pressure on him to do something unilaterally and not just punt it to congress? >> well, you would hope this would be an opportunity for the president to try to work with republicans and actually get something done to secure our border. but you know, the larger problem that joe biden and a lot of republicans have with regards to funding ukraine is that they have not made successfully made the case to the american people that this is in the american people's vital best interest that they should send $60 billion more to ukraine. and you know, he talks about how, you know, russia has suffered all of these sanctions and all of this punishment, but you know, i don't know the rest of the world looks at this and sees russia as particularly suffering. obviously the war in ukraine has not gone smoothly the way
10:17 am
vladimir putin i think probably anticipated. there are a lot of reasons for that. but i don't think it's because of the sanctions. in fact, it was as i said, you know, it was his policies from day one that jacked up gas prices around the world that made vladimir putin the wealthiest rogue dictator on the planet, which allowed him to launch the war in the first place. but remember also before the invasion, he assured us that the administration sanctions against moscow were going to prevent him from invading in the first place. that didn't work. i don't think they're working now either. >> jacqui: and they couldn't give a good reason back then why they would not impose preemptive sanctions, just the threat of sanctions will turn putin's mind. obviously it didn't. >> john: the fani willis misconduct hearing resuming moments ago, she did not testify
10:18 am
this morning but another family member did and made a big impact on the courtroom. shannon bream has her thoughts about it, legalese, next. called td, tardive dyskinesia. td can be caused by some mental health meds. and it's unlikely to improve without treatment. i felt like my movements were in the spotlight. #1-prescribed ingrezza is the only td treatment for adults that's always one pill, once daily. ingrezza 80 mg is proven to reduce td movements in 7 out of 10 people. people taking ingrezza can stay on most mental health meds. ingrezza can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington's disease. pay close attention to and call your doctor if you become depressed, have sudden changes in mood, behaviors, feelings, or have thoughts of suicide. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including angioedema, potential heart rhythm problems, and abnormal movements. report fevers, stiff muscles, or problems thinking as these may be life threatening. sleepiness is the most common side effect. it's nice. people focus more on me. ask your doctor about

10:23 am
willis case, her father took to the stand. shannon bream to break down all the legal implications. but first, steve is live outside the courthouse in atlanta. the hearing never seems to be lacking in drama. >> there have been a lot of surprises, jacqui. we thought we were going to get fani willis again today after all the fireworks yesterday. instead got her father, at times was pretty colorful on the stand. he was supporting his daughter and supporting her timeline to when the relationship between willis and nathan wade began. here is her father. >> you were talking about when you learned about mr. wade and your daughter, correct? >> correct. >> now, did your daughter tell you in around october of 2022 that she had gone on a caribbean cruise with mr. wade to the bahamas? >> the answer is i knew that my
10:24 am
daughter had gone but i did not know who she went with or what the circumstances were. >> defense attorneys really trying to make the case that the relationship between wade and willis began well before nathan wade was hired. their finances also coming under scrutiny. they said when they traveled together, nathan wade would pay with his credit card and willis will reimburse him with cash, sometimes several thousands of dollars. the judge does not plan to rule on possible disqualification as yet today. >> john: shannon bream, fox news sunday anchor and chief legal correspondent. we learned about him, he was a bit of a rolling stone, he likes cash and listens to conservative radio. a combination of things. what did you learn from him? >> he is a colorful character,
10:25 am
prosecuting cases all over the world. talking about work in south africa, and now in los angeles, an interesting guy. he backs up what fani willis said yesterday, yes, huge amount of cash, that's when my father taught me to do. the way she described him yesterday was colorful and he shows up and outlives her description. but he does back up the story. this judge has to decide if there was something unethical, something that would disqualify her from continuing as prosecutor. she and nathan wade have the same story under oath they did not start the relationship until after the working relationship had started and she reimbursed him for the expenses. that stands in contrast to another witness who also under oath said it started earlier. the judge has to make this call. >> jacqui: is she winning this at this moment do you think? >> if she sticks to the story and the judge is convinced the timeline is accurate she may push back the motion to disqualify her, keep the case going, aiming for the august trial date.
10:26 am
so, unless this judge really buys what's happened in these motions, and he seemed frustrated with everybody in the courtroom. the attorneys, the witness, everybody else, i'm not sure that he thinks this case has been made. but only he can make that determination and so we'll have to see how he judges the veracity of the witnesses telling different stories. >> john: some thought it was a slam dunk for ashleigh that clearly this was going on and plenty of evidence to prove it. but trying to establish the timeline, more sound from john floyd here, the father, yearti said it began in 2019. >> did you ever meet mr. wade in 2019. >> absolutely not. >> how about 2020? >> absolutely not. >> you ever see mr. wade at miss willis's fulton county house in 2021? >> never.
10:27 am
>> john: established in steve's fine hit, did you know about him in 2022 when it was ongoing, no. did you know they went away together, no, i didn't know that either, so seemed to be in the dark about the whole thing. >> they were not having regular conversations although you talked about this deejay guy, another job, but deejay work, he knew about that boyfriend she had been seeing or dating in the earlier time frame. but nathan wade, did not sound like they talked about it, i knew she was going on trips but not with who. he wouldn't have been dialed into this relationship no matter when it started. >> jacqui: the other issue i want your perspective on, we have seen letters come out that reveals a lot of communication between the president's lawyers and doj ahead of this special counsel report coming out. you know, what does it say to you that they went back and forth trying to basically shape whatever hur produced, even though this president long said i want to keep my hands off this case, and then at the end of the
10:28 am
day, despite all their problems with it, he did not exercise any executive privilege to redact it. what's your take? >> you are right in the middle of this over at the white house. so everything that is churned with this, keeps missing the headline, no criminal charges. the more they go back and forth and the letter surfaced and ian sams, we don't like how you are covering it, it brings back the findings of the hur report. doj is pushing back saying nothing overdone or salacious, and hur explained why he made his decision not to prosecute criminally and assessment with the president's mental acuity, so a war of words in the branches in the executive branch, the more they fight the more attention back to it. >> john: the doj pushed back hard against the letter sent to merrick garland, having carefully considered your arguments, the report is submitted to the attorney general and release are
10:29 am
consistent with legal requirements and department policy. that was after attorneys for the president argued that this was way outside of policy. so it's interesting to see now. there's an old bugs bunny cartoon, of course you know this means war. the white house and the doj are barely on speaking terms. >> as you point out, they go to great pains to say there is no coordination between the two of them, investigating hunter or anything else, independent agency acting without the president's input but it's a dust-up now. >> jacqui: they picked the wrong moment. we had all moved on to the national security threat, and the letter from ian sams about our coverage, and that was below the fall at that point. >> there it is, back in the headlines. >> john: neglected to implore the first rule of holes. >> which is? >> john: when you are in one, stop digging. now this.
10:30 am
>> thanks, guys. [gunfire] >> jacqui: breaking news from kansas city. charges now filed, the mass shooting at the chiefs super bowl parade. we are going to tell you who was charged in this case. plus, we'll speak with clark lynch, a witness on the scene. >> john: and five suspects of the police attack in times square in court today. and a venezuelan involved in a gang. tom homan joins us after the break. i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to 14 pounds.
10:31 am
i lost some weight. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. living with type 2 diabetes? ask about the power of 3 with ozempic®. i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active. if i can invest in her health and be proactive, i think it's worth it. visit betterforthem.com

10:35 am
impeachment probe into the president. this is a former fbi informant who claimed that joe biden and hunter biden took $5 million each in bribes from associates connected to the ukrainian energy company burisma where hunter biden once sat on the board. we have done a lot of reporting on the story over the past few years. 43-year-old alexander smirnov, arrested and charged by special counsel david weiss, he was picked up at the airport in los angeles 24 hours ago, he said they were paid 5 million a piece to keep a prosecutor from looking into burisma where hunter was on the board. hunter's attorney tells us we were right and the air is out of their balloon. yet another instance of chairman comer and jordan with falsehoods based on allegations and witnesses. oversight chairman james comer
10:36 am
leading the inquiry and other republicans took the allegation as fact and new statement to fox news, comer said he's still pressing forward looking at other aspects like china. he says bank records don't lie. bank records and witness testimony reveal joe biden knew about and participated in his family's business schemes and he has repeatedly lied to the american people about these facts. democrat congressman jamie raskin, he says it's time for speaker johnson and all republicans to end their doomed impeachment inquiry, though comer is still pressing forward. important to point out that while this may be good news for joe biden and the white house, and it is still somewhat good news for hunter biden, hunter biden is still facing federal charges in california for allegedly not paying taxes and in delaware for saying no on a federal firearm form to being addicted to drugs when he purchased a gun in 2018. both of those are going toward trial right now, john.
10:37 am
>> john: david, thank you. >> jacqui: five suspects in the times square officer attack were arraigned in court today, and learning that two of them are migrants with ties to a venezuelan gang. former acting ice director and fox news contributor tom homan joins us now. it seems like we are getting more and more reporting that the people involved in these violent attacks belonged to gangs and is this just sort of the logical conclusion when you have sanctuary cities, lenient bail laws and not vetting people across the border. >> absolutely. the worst of the worst will go to sanctuary cities, the free handouts and protected by law enforcement. they can commit a crime, and rikers island, and ice cannot step foot there. like the aliens that walked out of jail, ice should have been there, they would have locked them up instead of getting on the bus and disappearing, they would have lock them up, they
10:38 am
violated the terms of release. sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals, that's all they are. it's going to cause a spike. it has started and it's going to continue. >> john: the graphic i calculated out today, since february when biden took over, 7,254,386. when you have that number of people coming across the border, doesn't it follow there are bad actors who are not properly vetted and they get into a place they are not able to work or otherwise support themselves, they are going to turn to crime. >> absolutely. you look at the stats last year, over 80,000 of the illegal aliens arrested by border patrol were convicted criminals already. over 100 of them were convicted of homicide. and such a large push, a large surge, proper vetting is not being done. i actually turned two whistleblowers that called me
10:39 am
from the border, i gave them to jim jordan they claimed they released subjects before the vetting came back and when it came back they were hot, but they were already released. speed and the processing and the demand on dhs, process quick, release quick, no overcrowding nothing to see here, griff can't catch it on the camera, neither can bill melugin, then we can say no crisis here. >> jacqui: what do you make tom, down in texas it seems like the numbers have dropped since the governor there has started these, you know, efforts to restrict crossings, even though he's getting pushback from the administration, but if we pull up call four number three, since december, numbers are almost cut in half and call four number four, seems they have shifted quite a bit, 71.8% to crossings in california and arizona because of what the texas governor is doing.
10:40 am
so what now? are we just going to see migrants come in through other places unless california and arizona get on board and what abbott is doing? >> absolutely. operation gatekeeper, did numerous operations with border patrol. when you do a huge surge operation in one area, they are not going to stop coming, they will go to the area with less enforcement. now that texas has the problem, abbott is putting consequences in place, border passing is 70% because of what government is doing. so natural they move to other states. governor abbott will expand the operation in eagle pass, push more people to arizona and california and seeing the numbers continue. >> john: and ice warning mass releases because of lack of funding because the border part of the bill in the supplemental did not get passed. see where this goes. great to see you.
10:41 am
have a good weekend. thanks. >> jacqui: the probe into campus antisemitism at harvard is heating up. one house committee issuing subpoenas to multiple university leaders. who got them and what they are looking for coming up. leo terrell here with more on that. plus this. >> this is huge. the biggest on land spill ever in the united states. we got a long road ahead of us and i don't know if it's even a fight we can fight. >> john: russell murphy on "america reports" almost a year ago, talking about the toxic train derailment in east palestine. president biden finally heads to that ohio town today but is it too little too late? russell is back to talk to us, we'll ask him coming up next.
10:42 am

when president trump came, you know, almost in the background you heard toby keith's song "courtesy of the red, white and blue" or steve perry "open arms," i think biden's lead motorcade car will play "american idiot" by green day. but we need low interest loans, no interest loans, we need medical monitoring, the cdc to come through. you know, get a baseline on us, that ship has sailed. we don't know what we are up against. i'm standing on my property now. the wife rode horse last sunday, she come up to the house when she was done and we still smell that stuff. and i went down, took a walk, rode the four-wheeler, and we still smell it. we don't know what's going on, and is it even safe to be here. we have no idea. >> jacqui: i want to play what
