some moves. let's get this done, all right. i'm good at street fighting. let's see if i can bring it here. so we're going to -- >> one, two, three, four. this one you throw a hook. >> lawrence: all right. >> one, two, three, four. >> lawrence: let's see if we can speed it up a little bit. >> all right. >> lawrence: there we go. that's what i'm talking about. visit fdny boxing.org to support the cause. victor from ladder 17. see you all tomorrow. >> bill: good morning. want to show you a live look now. federal courthouse in florida. a judge about to hear arguments whether or not to dismiss the

trump documents case. former president expected to be there like he was several weeks ago and we shall, too. here we go. bill hemmer, welcome to thursday. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." great to be here with you. we have a big show for you. some experts believe that robert hur's testimony sports president trump's argument that he did not mishandle classified documents. we'll see if the judge feels the same. >> bill: you have the former president celebrating a victory of sorts in a different legal battle in atlanta, georgia. fulton county. a judge there dismissing half a dozen charges in the election interference case in georgia. >> dana: that same judge is also weighing a decision on whether to disqualify the prosecutor who brought the case. fulton county d.a. fani willis in response to allegations she was dating her lead prosecutor when she hired him. >> bill: that could come at any moments. the judge expected to rule any day, could be today after

willis's ex blows ivor testimony. >> these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on highly. it's offensive when they try to implicate you slept with somebody the first day you met them and i take exception to it. a man is a companion. >> bill: we have analysis from jonathan turley and reporting from jonathan serrie but first on the case in florida steve harrigan. let's begin. >> we expect to see the motorcade pull around any minute to the federal courthouse in fort pierce, florida. former president trump as well as two aides have been charged with mishandling classified documents. what we'll see today is a hearing starts at 10:00 and expected to go all day. attorneys for the president are expected to try to dismiss this case entirely. that will be based on the presidential records act.

it will be an attempt to claim presidential immunity. also likely to push the delay the start of this trial. right now scheduled to start in may. likely trying to push it to august at the earliest. not clearly whether we get to see the former president today. that motorcade is likely to pull around back and no cameras inside the federal court. that didn't stop a large group of trump supporters from arriving at dawn honking horns hoping for a glimpse of former president trump. >> bill: back to you with updates and headlines from fort pierce. thank you. >> dana: we're also keeping an eye on the courthouse in fulton county, georgia. judge mcphee could hand down his decision on fani willis any moment. yesterday dismissed several charges in the election case against president trump. john ton seary is live in atlanta with more. what's the fallout, jonathan? >> hi there, dana. as for the decision on fani willis the judge says he plans

to honor his self-imposed deadline. in other words, handing down a ruling either today or at the very latest tomorrow evening. in an interview with wsb radio last week he assured listeners his decision will not be influenced by a challenge he faces in an upcoming special election for his seat. >> i have had a rough draft and outline before i ever heard a rumor that someone wanted to run for this position. the result is not going to change because of politics. >> several defense attorneys are calling on the judge to disqualify district attorney fani willis from prosecuting the case claiming that her romantic relationship with nathan wade created professional and personal conflicts of interest. yesterday the judge struck down six counts in the indictment against former president trump and five of his associates relating to allegations they attempted to persuade georgia officials to violate their oaths of office when the defendants

attempted to overturn mr. trump's narrow defeat in the state's 2020 presidential election. according to judge mca fee the six counts contain the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission. now dana, d.a. willis has several options here. she could move ahead and continue to prosecute the case on the remaining charges. she could appeal the judge's decision, or she could write for detailed charges to present them to another grand jury. of course, all of these options are contingent on her remaining as the top prosecutor in this case. >> dana: we'll see what happens today. thank you, jonathan. >> bill: believe it or not we're putting turley to work again today. good morning, professor. >> shame on you. >> bill: you were with us yesterday and you were talking about the atlanta cases being

extended and perhaps this punts it past the election. let's come back to that in a moment. the more pressing matter is in florida as of this hour. on the line there is the espionage act and the presidential records act. does donald trump has a defense on both? >> i'm afraid i think he is likely to lose the claim for dismissal. it doesn't mean he doesn't have some merit in his objections to these charges. you know, he has appeared at these courthouses to drive home how he is being pursued from your jurisdiction to jurisdiction. that message will never resonate as loudly or successfully as this morning because he will be in front of this court right after the special counsel just gave president biden a pass. and the special counsel before congress laid out what seemed to be a serial violator of

classified material rules going back 40 years from when he was a senator, removing things from a scif in congress all the way through being vice president. documents following him from location to location, nine different locations. boxes spilling over in his garage. that's a remarkably strong case and the special counsel just sort of shrugged and said we probably couldn't secure a conviction in d.c. president trump will play on that and i don't blame him saying we can debate the obstruction charges. why am i being prosecuted for these document charges after that decision? >> dana: okay. we wait that. we might not get a ruling on that today. it's just a hearing. we might hear more about this fulton county, fani willis case. yesterday the decision by the judge to quash six of the counts. is this case taking on water? >> well yes.

the question is how much remains above the waterline of the case. the problem is it's not just the counts being struck. we don't know who will prosecute this case. the judge faces a really tough problem because will is a question of what standard to apply. but you have this threshold problem that both these prosecutors, willis and wade, appear to be contradicted about what they said in their sworn testimony and also things that they filed with the courts. they are prosecuting people for those types of violations. so the first question for the judge is did they actually testify truthfully. do i believe them? if you don't, how can you believe the rest of what they said? basically what the prosecutors are saying we paid cash for everything, no receipt. you can't prove a natural conflict. a lot of that depends on whether the court anticipates what they have said as true. many people don't. >> bill: if you think they're

lying, it's over. you have to reestablishing the deck. is it possible that he says nathan wade is off because of the filing and fani willis stays on? >> all things are possible in this bizarre world of fulton county. he could very well do a decision like that. the value to that, bill, is that he wouldn't have to remove the office. if you take willis out it is hard to keep this case in fulton county. if you move the case to a different county and that prosecutor has to make a judgment whether its warrants going forward. many of us have said from the beginning this is a very weak racketeering case. it was always thin soup and got thinner with the dropping of six counts. >> bill: sir, thank you. we'll put you on stand by because we could get at any moment some breaking news on

both matters. thank you, professor. >> i'm here for you. >> dana: hunter biden's first trial is due in jun, as soon as is june 3rd. he pleaded not guilty to lying about his drug use filling out a form to buy a gun in october 2018. hunter is refusing to testify publicly alongside his former business associates at a house hearing next week. his lawyer likened the invitation to a carnival side show. >> bill: interesting. >> dana: he had said he was going to do it. >> bill: interesting how things change. remember the morning we were sitting a month ago and got in our ear saying hunter biden is on capitol hill and they walked into the hearing room and made a show of it. >> dana: talk about a carnival show. they created it. >> bill: let's go to this now. >> this is all about politics. how does the president feel?

i think exactly that way. this is political. there is no place for this in america. >> bill: what's the judge going to do now? waiting for the courtroom to get underway in florida. the former president will be there any moment now and the effort to try to get some of these charges kicked out. we'll follow that breaking news as it devils coming up. >> dana: also more bad news for boeing. one of its planes forced to make an emergency landing at lax. >> bill: the spiraling violence in haiti has florida reacting. what the governor in that state is doing and what's on the line as of now coming up. >> there are other americans that are there. canadians who need to get out. i call on our leaders to do something.

involunteer manslaughter for a school shooting carried out by his son. four classmates killed, seven others injured. mike tobin. this is the second trial in this case. >> the jury has the case now. waiting on the verdict. tragic case seeking to hold the parents accountable because their child went on a shooting rampage at ox ford high school in november of 2021 north of detroit. james crumbly and his wife jennifer with the first to convict them for involuntary manslaughter. jennifer was convicted last month. there were warnings and james did nothing to prevent the shooting. in the closing argument yesterday the prosecutor reminded the jury the school contacted his father. accordingly he returned to work, failed to lock the door in his

house and drove by his house four times before stopping to check on his son. this is a case of hindsight that james had no way to predict his son's behavior would result in a rampage. four students ages 14-17 were killed. jennifer is now serving a 15-year sentence. ethan is serving life without parole and we're now waiting on the verdict with james. >> bill: mike tobin in chicago. keep us posted. >> i love y'all. i love y'all. i'm not from haiti, man, i'm from the u.s. i love y'all, man. >> dana: americans like jack brewer visiting haiti to help with the unrest there. florida governor ron desantis is deploying soldiers, planes and boats to prevent haitian migrants from fleeing to his state. no state has done more to supplement the underresourced

u.s. coast guard's efforts. we can't have illegal aliens coming to florida. let's bring in jack brewer, chairman of his own foundation. we talked to you before. we remember that aide worker being held and finally released and thank goodness for that. the situation in haiti has become more dire over the past 18 months or longer than that. the biden administration to me has slow walked solutions at its source and now you have a situation where governor desantis says i have to do more to protect my state. there are the people of haiti to be concerned about as well. what type of gangs are we talking about here? >> you are talking about the most vicious gangs that you could ever comprehend. these people literally eat each other, i hate to say that on tv but it is important for me to be real. they are completely lawless. these gangs are also a lot of gang members are there for

survival similar to a gang in a prison or a gang in some of our communities. the only way these folks eat. the gang makeup in haiti is different than you may think about here in the united states. these gangs are actually part of the government. the u.n. did a report two years ago and showed that 28 senators out of the 30, i believe, in haiti all had drug trafficking ties. so these individuals are part of the government. it is part of the way of life in the system there whether you are talking about immigration, you are talking about things coming in and out. sex trafficking, drugs. all of these industries are ran by gangs in haiti. >> bill: wow. these are some of the numbers and it's a lot, right? going back to the end of last year. covers a 15-month period. authorized for travel. 126,000 granted parole.

you heard what governor desantis is doing now. does he need more help? >> he does. this is a huge issue. i live down here in florida and you see what i do in haiti on the ground. we still have programs and projects feeding 1,000 kids a day. in the u.s. i also take care of a very large haitian population. you see an influx and see schools being overcrowded. the issue in haiti in particular, they just let 4,000 criminals out of a prison. they released the entire prison. just to go to prison in haiti sometimes these are the worst of the worst. so these folks are coming here whether you want to admit it or not they are coming here. that's their goal because you can't even survive and eat while you are in haiti. my kids in the orphanage, we struggle to get them food safely. this is a very bad situation, i'm very concerned about the state of florida just because i

know the influx that we're about to get. >> dana: if you are hungry, desperate people do desperate things. administration has tried a couple of things going through the united nations and the kenyans who said they would come halfway across the world to try to help solve the problem. listen to antony blinken here. >> i was on the phone this morning with the president of kenya who confirmed saying he is prepared to lead that mission as soon as the new council is stood up, which we believe will happen in the next couple of days. we should be in a place where that mission can go forward. it can, we believe, help reestablish security, take back control of the country from the gangs. >> dana: do you think the kenyans are going to be able to do this? >> god bless them. i pray they can, dana. the reality on the ground is there is no country to come in and take over haiti.

haitians don't want anybody to come in and take over their country. they do want safety, they want resources, and more importantly they want jobs. so the united states of america continues to blindly send money to haiti. we just sent them another $1 hundred million. that money is going to end up into the hands of the gangs. if you send money there through the kenyan government it will end up in the hands of the gangs. it's the culture, the way of life there. we must go to haiti. i said this for a few years. we must set up a corps of engineers and make sure we know our dollars are going into training people so they can take care of their own country. haiti needs sustainability. stop sending in money and funds and countries and we have to bare the brunt. >> a black hole of despair in haiti and the billion else of dollars pumped in there and what? government after government

continues to let their people down. yet again we see it today. jack, good luck to you and stay in touch with you and folks like mitch who just came back and see where this goes. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for covering it. >> bill: will it be case dismissed? donald trump attending a closed door hearing in florida over the classified document. staying on top of that this hour. why your groceries might be more expensive than before? we'll tell you about the state of inflation in america today by maria bartiromo in an election year, nonetheless. ♪ the military does provide help. and as americans, we can do so much more. i started the comfort, peace and freedom foundation to help veterans define their personal vision and to build a future of success. a lot of them aren't looking to what life after the military looks like until it's time, you know, within their last year to do that. ken, you wrote a bestselling book about taking advantage of blue collar careers.

they stayed the entire time he was inside the courtroom. >> dana: right. the other thing is that we're going to see a lot of this through this campaign season. house republicans invited president trump to come to their retreat that's in west virginia today. of course, you can imagine he would want to be there but he said i have to be in court so that's why he is there today. >> bill: this in light of the robert hur testimony from two days ago where the republicans proved there was seven different ro law indications where joe biden kept classified material when he was out of the white house in various places. biden center, penn center, different places in his house in delaware and on it goes. what trump's team will argue a similar matter when it comes to classified documents under the presidential records act being held in mar-a-lago, florida. that's the argument they will put before the judge and try to get some of these cases and charges dismissed. >> dana: no cameras in the courtroom. we'll provide you information throughout the day. expected to be a long hearing but not expected to end in a decision today from the bench.

we might get an indication what the judge is thinking. >> bill: stand by. more coming up from fort pierce as it develops on "america's newsroom." all right. 9:31 now. >> dana: texas adding miles of razor wire around shelby park in the midst of a legal battle between the state and biden administrations. troopers say the barriers have led to a 90% decrease in apprehensions compared to last year. garrett tenney is live from eagle pass. i thought i saw people trying to pick their way through razor wire. is that why they are adding more? >> that is in part why. you just have to look at the before and after, dana. the last week or so we have had maybe a dozen or so people a day working their way along the wire trying to find a way in. a year ago you would have hundreds some days walking right across the river. so now folks who are trying to get across the border are heading west where it is a lot easier, places like san diego and lukeville, arizona. look at the live pictures from

lukeville. a group of 100 people waiting for border patrol. back in eagle pass. the barriers are pushing migrants further upriver. sometimes they will walk miles along the wire looking for a spot to get through. it is getting more difficult as texas rapidly adds to the miles of fencing it has put up. soldiers from the florida national guard building a stretch of anti-climb barriers along the rio grande. we're also blocking a lot of the usual smuggling routes for the cartels. as a result you see a lot of cases like this one on private ranchs where cartels smuggle people through for a quick pickup and escape. also, though, part of the reason we're seeing and hearing about those kind of human smuggling operations more often is because border agents and local police are not busy processing people who come across the border and want to be found. instead they are able to focus on going after those folks who

are trying to come into the country illegally and that's why texas dps says the goal is put a fencing along as much of the border as possible. 700 miles they have to cover. they have more than 100 miles so far. dana. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: a key inflation number out moments ago is not good. it is grim, in fact. producer price index, pti rising.6% in february. double the expectation. that index measures inflation on the wholesale level. all that cost is passed down to you because companies will do that when they are trying to manage their own businesses. it is reflected with a 3.2% rise from a year ago. maria bartiromo here with more on this. gas and food and everything is costing more. this has been a stubborn number so far. >> you know, bill, the under lying component is oil. the fact is that when you had

this climate change agenda pushing fossil fuels to the side only pushing oil prices up. so when you have the price of oil going up, that is what is needed to transport the products. so what we see here really is a double whammy of bad news. inflation staying elevated with input costs. costs that producers pay. they usually pass it on to consumers. those costs are going up at a time that retail sales, while up, are up lower than expected. the consumer is stretched and going into their credit cards, going into their 401ks. several states reporting credit card delinquencies are on the rise. they can't afford to pay the credit card bills and can't afford to pay for simple essentials like gas and food. >> bill: i thought the journal did a good job yesterday of showing key things, everyday items you would use showing the old price compared to the new price and it is sticker shock. >> dana: deodorant from $3.99 to

$7.99. >> things like motor vehicle insurance up 20%. sewing supplies up 20%. tax return preparation up 11%. it is moving to beyond goods to services as well. >> dana: the other thing made my chuckle a little bit. two years ago i remember asking you maria, what does transitory mean? >> i remember. >> dana: you helped me understand it and could explain it to people. edward lawrence talked to secretary yell en and when this is what she said. >> in 2021 you said inflation was transitory. do you regret saying that now? >> i regret saying it was transitory. it has come down but i think transitory means a few weeks or months to most people. >> dana: at least she owns up to it. >> it is not temporary or transitory. it has a three-year period where consumers are feeling real

pressure because they are seeing prices sticker shock because prices of everything is up. rent has stabilized. i spoke with the chairman of the black stone group, the largest owner of commercial real estate in the world look it takes a while for this to get through in terms of the headline number on cpi or ppi has stopped going up. food and fuel is keeping inflation elevated. we had jim grant on founder of the interest rate observers. i wouldn't be surprised if the fed raises interest rates this year. that is so contrary and cause a stock market sell-off. i don't think the fed will raise rates. for him to say that. >> bill: you mentioned 401k withdrawals over the past five to seven years the increase of people taking early withdrawal. you pay taxes on this money, too. when you see it throughout history what does it tell you? >> big mistake to do it. it tells us the consumer is

stretched for them to reach into retirement accounts and need money to pay for the essentials. i tell all my friends the biggest secret and easiest way to becoming a millionaire is your 401k plan. don't go into it sooner than retirement. do not use that money. let it build up and don't leave any money on the table. you work for a company willing to match the money dollar for dollar, take it all. don't go into your 401k. that's a sign of stress and that's not good. >> bill: strong advice. thank you for being here. >> dana: stick around for this. you will want to see it. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: bill, there was more march madness as villanova escaped a huge upset. the senior guard came through in the clutch nailing a three-pointer with eight seconds left in the game. villanova hangs on to beat depaul 58 to 57.

ground several times. it appears the victim has a seizure. >> in the video it's an attacker who repeatedly bashes the victim's head into the hard pavement, multiple opportunities to disengage from the fight but clearly intends to inflict serious physical injury. a youth who commits an adult crime needs to be tried as an adult. >> st. louis county police department says responding officers located a jove nile female suffering a severe head injury transported to an area hospital and she remains in critical condition. attorney general bailey says if the victim dies, the suspect should be charged with homicide. the hazelwood school district says it is a tragedy any time children are hurt. bullying and fighting in the community we need to work towards a resolution. the 15-year-old suspect is charged with first degree felony assault. right now she is being held by the st. louis county family

something that i have been publicly screaming about. i.d.s on social media. you have to be verified. if not there needs to be warning. the predators are no longer in the van on the corner with a lollipop. they are in your laptop, phones, pose as other little children. i have had to deal with it. i'm always constantly checking. even playing a simple game like roadblock. here is the problem. the social media companies don't care. they don't give a damn. we deal with it. i have scammers that pretend to be me online and sell fake tickets to my shows. when we tried to go after them to get them taken off. they are taking money from my base, the fake guys things had more numbers than mine. so therefore -- that's what it comes down to. >> bill: jessica, we were all teenagers once. you want to hide things from your parents once in a while. the parent don't even know. >> it is very common and it is

impossible to police all of this. what i'm stunned at is how quickly removed from the whistleblower report from facebook about what these sites are doing and the kind of trafficking making young girls hate themselves. body image and mental health and now we get to these kids will be picked up by a pedophile and kill themselves and do it on camera, self-harm, etc. it is moving at warp speed. we just had that panel in congress where you had the heads of all of the major social media platforms that moment where mark zuckerberg had to turn around and apologize and it was only snapchat which had kind of the worst examples of this kind of horrible thing happening supporting a government bill about regulating this and they have to. this is the most important thing in the world to pair analities. they aren't going to stop until there is government oversight over this. >> bill: the one thing about

>> bill: now the u.s. at risk of running out of power. electricity demand is at a record high. but the power grid and energy production can't keep up and the big tech boom is draining its supply. griff jenkins is live in virginia to bring us this story. what did you find out, griff? >> good morning, bill. that's exactly right. every aspect of our lives is connected to a data center. our phones, videos, streaming, credit cards and ground 0 for the data centers in northern virginia. let me take you to the sky.

take a look at these monstrous windowless data centers. you can see the one behind me as you fly over it. the cooling centers on top of that. it takes an enormous amount of power. the power lines you see constructed here to power just this one behind me. 35% of the worldwide data centers are located right here in loudon county and struggling to power. especially amid the push to convert to green energy with an aging power grid and add to it is sudden rise of a.i. the former energy secretary under president trump says just one data center, just one, to power a.i. can take up to one gig watt of power. one entire nuclear power plant and he says we will have to get it under control. listen here. >> we have to balance the equation. meet the emissions goals that we all have and keep the lights on at the same time. what's happening is we talked about this demand earlier.

demand is going up and our generation sources are going down. so at some point those lines cross and we have a problem the lights go off. >> and new sources solar and wind not reliable to power these on their own. last night the board he have supervisors in loudon county had a proposal to build a new one. there are protestors. energy vampires opposing these things. one protestor told us how they felt. listen. >> we've got to stop this. we don't have the power. our grid doesn't have the power. >> finally we were at that meeting until about midnight last night and for the first time loudon county's history they rejected the construction of a new data center based on the lack of power grid. it is a growing problem and it is a reality of our lives today. >> bill: interesting stuff. griff jenkins there in loudon
