11:00 am
she has eight days to turn around a deficit that the real clear politics average has 31% right now. so, she's got some heavy lifting between now and next saturday. >> jacqui: and a group no labels has been throwing out signals they would like her to join them, and interesting after joe manchin said he's not going to run for president after all. >> john: is nikki haley starting to eat into trump's lead, i don't know. a new poll from insider advantage is closer than in weeks, trump 60%, haley 38, differential of 22, so it's been as much as 25, 26, is she starting to narrow the gap? we'll talk to her 5:00 p.m. eastern time on sunday. we are heading to south carolina. now this. >> make no mistake. make no mistake.
11:01 am
putin is responsible for navalny's death. putin is responsible. what has happened to navalny is yet more proof of putin's brutality. no one should be fooled, not in russia, not at home, not anywhere in the world. >> john: president biden saying russian president vladimir putin is to blame for alexei navalny's reported death. russian state media says the critic and opposition leader died in prison. john roberts. welcome back to "america reports". good to be with you again. >> jacqui: thanks for having me, john. reaction is pouring in demanding that russia answer for this. first alex hogan is live in london with the latest. what do we know about what's happened here? >> hi, jacqui. well, so far prison officials claim that navalny collapsed, he was unconscious and that medical workers at the penal colony were
11:02 am
unable to resuscitate him. he was one of the most vocal critics, navalny, 47-year-old, behind bars since 2021, last year he was moved to this penal colony above the arctic circle and considered one of russia's most tough jails. he was serving decades long sentences widely considered politically motivated and it is worth noting that russian president vladimir putin is up for re-election next month. now, reaction is pouring in from political leaders around the world. nato secretary general calling for russia to answer serious questions about this. zelenskyy said putin does not care who dies, only for him to hold on to his position. navalny's wife spoke out saying it's still difficult to believe this news, especially since there is no proof at this point. and president biden agreed there's a lot of questions that we do not have the answers to yet. but when asked if this was a clear assassination, he said
11:03 am
this. >> the answer is that 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. >> biden did not specify any potential further consequences that we could see after this breaking news today. navalny's family and team say they have still not been contacted by the prison or any other officials. the prison does have at least 24 hours to notify the family and three days to release navalny's body. jacqui. >> jacqui: alex hogan in london. thanks. >> john: martha maccallum, so, martha, here we go again, another putin rival mysteriously dies. >> martha: yeah, we remember what happened to another who rode up in tanks practically to the kremlin's entrance and then looked like, remember, a lot of questions back then, john, where
11:04 am
is the retaliation, what is putin going to do. but sure enough in the end it appears that he got to his man. and this appears to be the same similar situation. we have seen putin eliminate a lot of people who have proven to be opposition to him. if you look back at the history and life of this man, alexei navalny, he's an incredibly courageous character, really in the tradition of mandela or walesa in poland and checkoslovakia, fought to the end and for the freedom of their people and fought hard against corruption. and putin is one of the most wealthy people in the world in and outspoken and incredibly courageous, it's a tragic story. interesting that his wife had the strength to speak out right
11:05 am
away at the munich conference and said they will pay, essentially, the people responsible for this. putin is responsible for this, and he will pay. very interesting comments from her. >> john: you remember three years ago president biden said there would be dire consequences for russia if he were, navalny, to die in custody. well, the president was asked, ok, what are the consequences that you articulated back in 2021, here is what he said. >> that was three years ago. in the meantime, they faced a hell of a lot of consequences. lost and/or wounded over 350,000 russian soldiers, position where they have been subjected to great sanctions across the board. and we are contemplating what else could be done. >> how do you read that, martha. some folks are reading it as i'm not going to do much. >> martha: that's what it sounds like, isn't it, john. the answer that was three years ago, i'm not sure what the relevance is and how the taking of the life of alexei navalny is
11:06 am
some sort of comparison parallel to the number of people that russia has lost in its military in the course of invading ukraine. i doubt very much that his supporters will feel that that's a trade-off that makes sense and when you look for a biden doctrine, it can be difficult. i think it's fair to say to find one other than the fact that in china, in taiwan, in israel, with hamas and in ukraine, the idea has always been not to escalate. so i think that's exactly what you heard here today from the president. he's very cautious, he wants to make it very clear to vladimir putin and others that you know, although he said there would be consequences three years ago, that was three years ago and a lot of stuff has happened since. >> john: also a moment during that news conference where president biden was ripping on president trump and what he said about nato some years back to nato leaders, and there was a pause in what biden said almost
11:07 am
looked like he was having a moment. listen to this, martha. >> all of us should reject the dangerous statements made by the previous statement that invited russia to invade our nato allies if they were not paying up. he said if an ally did not pay their dues, he would 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, pausing to gather his thoughts or something else? >> maybe. here we go again, right, john. standing here trying to figure out what one of these odd pauses means. and i think you can understand that he maybe doesn't want to go
11:08 am
down the road of saying certain things when it comes to russia and the former president, but it did not feel like that, did it. it felt like sort of a dead stop pause and watching his eyes the second time i saw that, he seemed to be figuring out where to go and i heard jacqui heinrich earlier say sometimes they'll switch something in the prompter and maybe he's adjusting, but does not look good for someone who has an 81% polling that says that they want to see someone else, that they think he's a little bit too old and unable to run. >> john: one other quick issue to get through with you here, and that is that this growing disagreement between the white house and the department of justice over the robert hur report, part said the president could not remember when his son beau died and in response the president ripped robert hur by saying this. listen here. >> even reference that i don't remember when my son died.
11:09 am
how in the hell dare he raise that. frankly, when i was asked the question i thought to myself it wasn't any of their damn business. >> john: now reporting that robert hur never raised it, that biden volunteered it he was not asked the question and he didn't remember and the white house counsel office and biden's attorney sending a letter to merrick garland, why in the heck did you let the report out, it's outside of department standards and the department said no, this is completely within the standards. we reviewed it, it's fine. >> martha: we are all trying to unravel this. first of all, it seems very strange the president would think he was asked about this question, provoked about this question when beau passed away and did come up with, according to the report the date but not the year, but it was generated from him, according to robert hur's side. so, that in and of itself is weird because he was worked up
11:10 am
about it and how jill biden said how horrendous for them to poke and prod on that question. and the other point you raised sheds light on the fact there might be some embarrassing things in the report when it comes out and i think everybody assumed it meant the corvette, the documents, where they were actually kept, but no, it was deeper than that. and it was the assessment which the doj has now said nothing untoward about the way hur characterized this. simply saying that he is in his description, what you do in deposition, you describe the person, elderly well meaning man who sometimes forgets things and i think the doj assessment is that that's a fair assessment based on what happened in that room, john. >> john: all right. well, the white house apparently continues to perpetuate this by sending outleters chastising journalists. see where it goes from here. >> jacqui: a live look at the
11:11 am
southern border eagle pass, texas, where governor greg abbott is announcing plans to build a so-called military base camp near the border in eagle pass. this in response to what he calls president biden's reckless border policies. heading out west to california where the state is seeing an influx of migrants, many of them coming from china, fox news cameras witnessed the largest group of chinese migrants we have ever seen illegally crossing the border. griff jenkins with more on this story. hey, griff. >> yeah, and jacqui, you know, remember it was last year that we saw the surge of migrants over in eagle pass where governor abbott is. but now it's shifted out west and here in jacumba, california, 60 miles east of san diego, ground 0 for the largest migrant nationality and that is chinese. 202 yesterday, let me show you the video we were rolling in this very location, a lot of
11:12 am
migrants coming, mostly from china, a few from colombia, some from india as well. now, another piece of video that i want to show you, i use literally, jacqui, my cell phone walking down the line of migrants and what you notice quickly is the high number of single adult chinese males. and you have to ask yourself if you are a border official why are single adult males from china here, and how are we going to vet them because china doesn't share national secrets with us, we didn't know who they necessarily are or who they tell us they are is accurate. i did ask one of the males why he was here, take a listen to this, jacqui. >> why did you come? >> money. >> money? >> yeah. >> for jobs? >> yes. >> no job in china? >> maybe, i don't know. >> let me give you some numbers.
11:13 am
2021 fiscal year, 450 total chinese across the entire border for the year. this fiscal year since october 1st, more than 20,000 with more than 90% of the 20,000 in this san diego sector and one last thing i want to do, thomas, if i could just push over here in the area where we are, where we encountered the migrants you see now a drinking water truck filling up a tank, getting ready for the next load to show up. clearly they are expecting more migrants to come here and in this case, the officials in this area, worrying with national security risk concerns because they don't know who is coming or why. jacqui. >> jacqui: great reporting, griff. continue to watch it. thanks so much. >> john: we were talking to tom homan earlier and he said he was stationed there, most times quiet, small area, maybe 100 people per month through there. now he says 100 a day, and with all the chinese migrants it's difficult as griff was pointing
11:14 am
out to vet them because the chinese government is not helping out saying oh, yeah, we know these people and they are ok or not ok. you can't get the information. >> jacqui: big picture what we are watching happen, everything that abbott has done, creating consequences for it and throwing up physical barriers, you know, really does sort of undercut the administration's position that you know, all of these things don't actually deter illegal crossings, and razor wire doesn't work, only harms law enforcement. you look at the results here and it's hard to take their word for it. >> john: in terms of the results, 249,000 illegal crossings in texas in december, in january after all these mitigation efforts were put into place, 124,000. so, it's like -- it's about half, i guess. so, and now they are all pushing west to arizona and california because the cartels will find a way. no doubt about that.
11:15 am
president biden set to arrive in east palestine, ohio later this afternoon more than a year after a devastating toxic train derailment up ended life in this midwestern town. we are monitoring the trip and will bring you any developments but will say town folk are not happy to see him. >> jacqui: certainly are not. and fulton county d.a. fani willis reversing and not taking the stand a second straight day. jonathan turley and who really controls the courtroom. it's odd how in an instant

11:19 am
>> has he ever visited you at the place you laid your head. >> you lied, you lied right here. no, no, no, this is the truth, it is a lie. >> jacqui: a live look inside
11:20 am
the courtroom in atlanta where embattled d.a. fani willis did not take the stand despite prosecutors indicating yesterday she would have a second day of testimony. attorneys grilled willis on her relationship with the prosecutor she hired to lead the interference case against former president trump. bring in jonathan turley. thanks for being here. surprising to you at all we did not see fani willis today after the fireworks yesterday? >> well, i think it was the smart move. if you are in a hole, you should stop digging and she was in a pretty deep hole yesterday. she started out very, very angry. she did i think gain some composure over time. what was very surprising was the fact that the judge allowed her to go on so many tangents and for so long. she did end up controlling, i think, questions and the tenor
11:21 am
of the proceedings. >> jacqui: i want to read the audience a line you wrote for foxnews.com how her behavior was received in the media and says outside the court, many on the left celebrated her confrontational combative style, where trump was unhinged -- trump's rage was threatening, willis's rage was righteous. what do you think is the difference here? >> well, it was quite striking. when i was watching her testify, the most obvious comparison was donald trump, the person she's prosecuting. trump went on the stand and a couple of proceedings attacked counsel, attacked motivations of the proceedings and called people liars. she did exactly that. she -- it was -- she was outtrumping trump.
11:22 am
he was repeatedly sanctioned. in her case, the judge seemed to throw in the towel. it's not that he's a bad judge, i thought he was doing a good job overall but towards the end he seemed to sort of just give up control of those proceedings. i could not believe how she was able to continue on the tangents, talking about how you negotiate with taxi drivers and matching food with wine on trips with wade and how men are in relationships. it was just mind blowing. i don't know many judges that would have allowed that to go on so long. >> jacqui: let's just play an example what some of that sounded like. >> so you have no proof of any reimbursement for any of these things because it was all cash, right. >> testimony of one witness is enough to prove a fact. are you telling me -- lying to you, is that what you are in mating. >> asking if you have any proof. >> the proof is what i just told
11:23 am
you. >> jacqui: if trump said the same thing, your assessment is that it would have been received much differently by the court. >> right. you'll notice on her, even her physical demeanor, it was like there was nobody to the left of her. i mean, it was like the judge was an ficus plant a few feet away. she was unresponsive to stay in the lines, to be responsive to questions. she was yelling that the media and the opposing lawyers are liars, that people are colluding. it was really something to watch. it was like the "caine mutiny movie." i thought at points she was untethered. the judge gave her two cautions but she seemed confident that he was not going to carry through on the threat. >> jacqui: why -- why in your mind? >> i don't know. i don't know.
11:24 am
because i've been in front of judges that would not have allowed five of those words to go forward. and would have stopped you on the sixth one. i mean, i -- i just -- i was watching this truly in amazement the judge did not cut her off. the defense counsel tried, they said judge, can she just respond to the question, and she was read frng a virtual romance novel, unbelievable. >> jacqui: we will continue to watch it attentively. jonathan turley, thanks so much. appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> john: jonathan turley and judge ficus. he has a way with words. and harvard and antisemitism. leo terrell and the next steps. >> jacqui: and what likely led up to the deadly shooting at the
11:25 am
kansas city super bowl celebration. our next guest was at the parade, he left a minute earlier and would have been right in the middle of the shooting. he joins us live next. veterans have earned a lot of va benefits with their service, but the va home loan benefit is a big one. by using your benefit at newday you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value and take out an average of $70,000. use that money to pay off high rate debt and get back on your feet financially. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

(♪) i've got to go. ok. bye. mom! (♪) -thanks mom. -yeah. (♪) (♪) you were made to dream about it for years. we were made to help you book it in minutes. when i first learned about my dupuytren's contracture, my physician referred me to a hand specialist. and i'm glad he did, because when i took the tabletop test, i couldn't lay my hand flat anymore. the first hand specialist i saw only offered surgery. so, i went to a second hand specialist who also offered nonsurgical options — which felt more right for me. so, what i'd say to other people with dupuytren's contracture is this:
11:29 am
don't wait — find a hand specialist trained in nonsurgical options, today. i found mine at findahandspecialist.com. >> jacqui: two minors are facing gun-related charges connected with the deadly shooting at the kansas city chiefs super bowl parade. police say it began with a dispute between several people. our next guest attended the celebration and filmed this video, bystanders taking down one of the suspects there. we'll talk to him in just a moment, but first jeff paul is live in kansas city. jeff, what are you learning about these charges? >> well, yeah, jacqui, jackson county family court confirming they expect extra charges to be filed eventually in the future as this investigation continues. but as it stands right now, these two juveniles are held at a detention center, held on two charges. one being gun related, the other
11:30 am
to resisting arrest. initially three juveniles were detained but after questioning and more investigation one of the juveniles was released and believed not to be involved. police have also made it have he clear they are grateful for the bystanders who stepped in, tackling people who were possibly involved in the shooting. a short time ago, fox news spoke with one of the good samaritans who risked his life to help others. >> as i'm taking him down from behind, i see a gun laying on the ground. so i knew right then and there i got to take him down and keep him down because if he's got one gun, he may have another one. >> the announcement of the charges is just one step in what's expected to be a very long recovery process for kansas city, and that was clear last night during a community vigil that was full of raw emotion. some said they were flat out
11:31 am
angry a joyous celebration was ruined by gunfire. and others expressed sadness for the loss of life of the woman who lost her life, and taylor swift has donated $100,000 to the family as they continue the recovery process. jacqui. >> jacqui: thank you, jeff. john. >> john: our next guest was watching the parade with friends when the shooting broke out. clark lynch joins us. thank you for being with us. i'm sure you and the rest of the residents of kansas city are still trying to make sense of all this. l we have a map of the area in front of union station where you and your friends were related to the shooting. the yellow circle is the area where you folks were, right in front of the station. the red circle is where the shooting took place. lay it out for us. what happened and what were your initial thoughts when you heard the gunshots? >> yeah, so i was there with two friends, devon and nick, and
11:32 am
we -- the parade and rally just ended, and i said hey, let's get out of here, little did we know the direction we were going was taking us directly into the circle of where the victims were at. so we turn around, and we hear, you know, pop pop pop, about 10, 15 times. i lean over to devon and said hey, are those -- are those gunshots? he assured me, no, just fireworks and that's what they sounded like, not super loud. we then took a few steps more forward and saw the first victim on the ground and cpr was getting administrated to that victim, we looked over to our right and we see two little girls looked the age of six and maybe eight years old, one shot in the leg, tourniquet wrapped around the leg with blood and look behind those girls, two bodies in the street with a gunshot wound in someone's chest and blood gushing from it, and the cpr by innocent bystanders. from what we remember, devon ran
11:33 am
and grabbed some officers to tell them where this was taken place and immediately myself, devon and nick grabbed these metal barricades you can see in the video and build some around the victims so they were protected from the crowd that was rushing. after doing that, that's when i think a large mass of people had realized what had happened, and so we saw thousands and thousands of individuals running, stampede of individuals in fear for their lives, and so we ran up the hill to safety and our first response when we got to safety was to start praying for our city, praying for the victims, for the first responders. one of my best friend, trent barker, an active firefighter duty so as we are running from danger guys like that are running to danger. praying for their safety. >> john: remarkable you and other civilians jumped in to
11:34 am
help, some tackled the alleged gunmen. police say it was likely the result of a personal dispute that escalated to gunfire. two minors are held in custody and charged with the event. when you take a look at what happened here, lisa lopez galvant, mother of two and a wife, a deejay there in kansas city, beloved, she really is a promoter of tejano music, so many injured, many children, over a personal dispute, it's difficult to wrap your head around that. >> yeah. i find it hard to believe that it could have been a personal dispute. someone to bring an assault rifle into a parade for a personal dispute and the stuff that we have heard, it's heartbreaking that if it was, you know, all those victims that were targeted over 22 victims that were injured by gunshot, and we had only seen about six of them.
11:35 am
who else did we run by and pass by that had been shot that were taken victim from this dispute. >> john: it's going to be a long time for kansas city to get over this. clark, good on you for pitching in when there was danger all around, and to everybody else in kansas city who pitched in as well. we'll be praying for all you folks. thanks for joining us, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> jacqui: john, house republicans are hitting harvard with a subpoena as lawmakers accuse the university of stone walling their antisemitism investigation. civil rights attorney leo terrell joins us next on that.

11:41 am
the clean-up is still ongoing and many locals question if the visit has anything to do with the upcoming election. >> john: house republicans issuing multiple subpoenas against harvard, accusing them to hand over sufficient documents in the antisemitism investigation. lydia hu is live and has the latest on this. what does the committee want, exactly? >> hi there, john. the committee is demanding that harvard turn over records of antisemitic incident on campus, disciplinary actions and communications like emails or text messages referring to antisemitism. so here is an example. i'm sure you remember that letter, student groups signed on to right after hamas attacked israel. that letter blamed israel for the attack. the committee wants records showing how the university discussed that student letter and handled that incident. now, the subpoena is an unprecedented step for the house committee on education in the workforce. never before has it issued a
11:42 am
subpoena to a university and it targets harvard's top brass over antisemitism and how it's handling it, including interim president garber, penny pritzker, over the governing board of the school, and the ceo of the harvard management company which manages the $50 billion endowment. committee chair virginia fox wrote in a letter to them, given harvard's vast resources, evidence suggests the school is obstructing the investigation. harvard has come under scrutiny, the response from former university president claudine gay, widely criticized as weak. gay resigned amid the backlash. harvard maintains it is cooperating with the probe that started in december. it says it has already produced
11:43 am
more than 3500 pages of records to the committee, and writing this in a statement, while a subpoena was unwarranted, harvard remains committed to cooperating with the committee. antisemitism has no place in the harvard community. we remain steadfast. but representative fox says it's not the quantity of documents, but the quality. roughly 40% of the records they have turned over are already public. so with the force of the subpoena, the university has a new deadline of march 4th to produce those additional records. back to you. >> john: the first time it has happened, but this issue is unprecedented in so many ways. lydia, thank you. jacqui. >> jacqui: let's bring in leo terrell, civil rights attorney and fox news contributor for more on this. leo, hard to reason through why the university wouldn't just comply and produce the documents that the committee is asking for because their refusal to do that brings this back into the
11:44 am
headlines and after claudine gay resigned, kicking and screaming, they kind of fell out of the headlines but now their resistance to eradicating antisemitism on the campus back into the headlines and they look like they are not playing into that necessary effort. what's your take? >> thanks for that question. thanks for that question, jacqui. you are right. they are not taking any action at all. i want to be very honest. i have 30 years of legal experience, i'm a civil rights attorney. harvard is doing nothing to stop antisemitism on the campus because they are not worried, why. you said earlier, it's election year. and the biden administration, the democrats are torn between their political obligation to hamas or their pro-hamas position, pro palestine position, antisemitic rhetoric in the democratic party. congress, the house republicans will issue a subpoena. jacqui, who is going to have to enforce that? biden's department of justice.
11:45 am
so, they know what's happening, and the documents that they have already produced, yeah, most of those documents are basically in the open public. they are slow dragging the documents. not going to release documents because there's no political pressure unless there's a change in the white house in november, jacqui. that's the honest fact. >> jacqui: for the sake of thinking about this outloud argue against that point that you know, claudine gay did not want to resign and did, because of the social pressure that elise stefanik drummed up after her, you know, testimony that even without doj getting involved, you know, when you can create a public stir, the university has to respond and they did in the past. so, why not now? >> i'll tell you, the situation, she resigned, still drawing her $900,000 salary, still a faculty member. but actually, other than that

resignation, what has harvard done to protect the jewish students on the campus? i would submit to you there is nothing, 0, nil, and they wanted this story to die out. they wanted it to fade away and it hasn't faded away only because of that subpoena. now the question where is the enforcement mechanism, the power over harvard, nothing. they can offer contempt citation, refer it to merrick garland and merrick garland is going to sit on it. i can tell you this, and jewish students are in fear of their safety on the campus. one final point. harvard receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government because of the civil rights act. and every jewish student, black student, white student, protected under title 6 from the university receiving federal funds. jewish students are not being protected at harvard or some of these other universities, jacqui. it's a straight arrow of the story. >> jacqui: donors are paying

attention and the committee is paying attention, stefanik says after failing to take quick action, harvard's leadership has not addressed the anti-antisemitic hate. you would assume that the university would want people to believe that it's a safe place for jewish students to go. just one more question. is there any chance that what they have not turned over yet in your mind maybe would reveal something that they don't want to be out there, and that's why they are dragging their feet? >> let me think about that, jacqui. yes. inaction. those documents will reveal inaction on the part of the harvard board. elise stefanik did an outstanding job in that hearing. if there is going to be some real investigation, the white house, the house and the senate has to turn republican and be a trump administration in order to get antisemitism off of these
