good morning, everyone. this morning we have the latest on what is happening in mexico. two americans are been rescued, two others found dead after being kidnapped at gunpoint in dangerous border town in mexico. we have new details on where they were found and what we are learning about the man who has been detained in connection to their abduction. a trove of private emails and text messages expose drama, division and alarm behind the scenes of fox news over the network's coverage of false election conspiracies. and the city of memphis preparing to release more video from the deadly police beating of tyre nichols. we will tell you what we're expecting to see and hear from the new footage. we begin with that kidnapping of four americans in mexico. officials found two alive in a wooden shack you see here, one with gunshot owounds, the other two found dead.

>> soldiers with humvees and machine guns brought the survivors to the border in an ambulance as you see that here. the rescue comes days after they had been abducted in broad daylight in one of mexico's most dangerous border towns where rival factions of a drug cartel have been at war in the streets. the video of the abduction is chilling. it shows gunmen dragging and loading the four americans in a pickup truck. this is latavia washington mcgee, one of two found alive. family members say they were on a road trip so latavia could undergo a medical procedure in mexico. we spoke to her mother just moments ago. >> they was driving through and a van came up and hit them and they start shooting at the car, shooting inside the van or whatever, and i guess that she -- the others tried to run and they got shot at the time.

shaeed and she watched them die. >> rosa is in brownsville, texas, where the survivors are recovering. what are you learning about the timeline? we found out about the abductions. we know what happened with the two americans back on u.s. soil. what are you seeing about the full picture that happened in between then? >> kaitlin, we are learning about those intense moments from mexican officials. they are giving us a clearer picture of what happened. they say that the four americans crossed into mexico at about 9:18 a.m. on friday and that they were lost. in fact, they were probably lost for a few hours. according to mexican officials, the american crossed over, their cellphone service was patchy. they were trying to contact the doctor that latavia washington mcgee was expected to see, that doctor was trying to give them directions and that dramatic video was actually taken at

11:45 a.m. which means it was several hours after they crossed the border and that they had been lost. if you look closely at those dramatic images you see the white minivan that the americans were driving and that is when mexican officials say was the first clue for mexican officials, the fact that the license plates of that white minivan were from north carolina, which really begs the question, why they waited so long, several days, for the announcement, for the fbi to issue a statement regarding americans being kidnapped in mexico. but what mexican officials do say is that after that they used surveillance video and showed pictures of this surveillance video as they tracked that white pickup truck that the americans were dragged on and driven away. according to next anyone officials, that trace went cold after they followed surveillance video. but then yesterday, tuesday morning, they received a tip. they followed that tip.

that led to the americans and to the arrest of a 24-year-old from tamaulipaso, mexico, who mexican officials don't know if he is connected to the criminal gangs or criminal organizations in mexico. about the americans. the two americans who survived, kaitlin, were brought to the hospital that you see behind me for treatment and the other two americans, who died, they are still in mexico undergoing an autopsy and the fbi and the department of state working to bring them back to the united states and reunite them with their families. >> and so much of this is going to put a focus on those cartels and the security relationship between the u.s. and mexico. rosa flores, when you learn more about the autopsies, let us know. thank you. hundreds of pages of previously unreleased documents in dominion's lawsuit against fox news are now public. this huge trove includes emails and text messages from top executives and talent that fourth reinforce they didn't

believe the false claims about election fraud that they were pushing on air. even rupert murdoch admitted no an email to the ceo of fox news that the host of his network went too far in pushing trump's lies. he describes a meeting. meeting with mcconnell and graham but still getting mud thrown at us. is it unarguable that high-profile fox voices fed the story and january 6th was an important chance video the results overturned? maybe sean and laura went too far. all well for sean to tell you he was in despair about trump but what did he tell his viewers? these threw text messages between tucker carlson and a member of his staff in which he actually says and details his disdain for former president. he writes, quote, we are close to being able to avoid trump most nights. i hate him passionately.

i like peter, but i can't handle much more of this. that's the last four years we are pretending we have a lot to show for it because admitting what a disaster it's been is tough too to digest. come on, there really isn't an upside to trump, closed quote. those are the words of tucker carlson. wow. joining us now, he represented several high-profile clients in defamation lawsuits, most famously the case you won, ken, against gawker for hulk hogan in 2016 and that was really precedent setting. you overcame a high bar against a media orpg. what does this do to fox? does this put fox in more peril? >> when we say this, looking at what's been released, there is an awful lot of documentary evidence, text messages, emails, quite a bit to digest. breaking it down, the thoughts that i have are, first, you

rarely see that much paper in one of these cases. internal messaging rooms, things like that. but there is so much here, so much communication. and then you have this emerging testimony of rupert murdoch, which is dynamite. tremendous evidence for a jury trial. it's storytelling. i think in their opposition to the summary judgment motion that fox filed dominion started with, an excerpt from that testimony because at the end of the day we tell stories and the stories have to make sense and have to be compelling and persuasive. it's a great story lead-in. but there is really no legal impact to if from a malice perspective because the law is always going to focus on the mindset or what i like to call the undisclosed mental process of the speaker. and that's what usually makes these cases so hard is you are trying to move what someone was thinking, what they knew when

there is rarely any direct evidence of that. what is interesting about this case right now, keeping in mind that judge davis already denied a motion to dismiss. i think the legal issues will remain the same. we are dealing with summary judgment. is there dispute in material fact. and rarely do you see this much clear indication that a broadcaster, a writer, was disclosing their state of mind. directly disclosing it. i don't believe this. then you have a report that's to the contrary. fascinating. very different. >> with all of that said then, does it say anything to you that there has not been a settlement at this point? because usually at this point, especially considering so much paper and depositions and all that, usually, you know, let's get this behind us. we don't want this much disclosed about our company. >> it's sort of a different world. these bigger cases, i can tell

you my own experience, having had to try hogan, which was a privacy case with bad first amendment defense, right. but implicated all these issues. and palin, i didn't settle those. those went to trial. the question really is, what is the end game here? what is dome inian looking for? so often it's vindication, reputation rehabilitation, clear retraction with unambiguous language that we lied, things like that. they also have a pretty robust damages case with a nice business damages element for lost profits and lost enterprise value. the question really is, what is their end game? that's always the issue. what is the client's goal. i would not be surprised if this thing went to trial. >> you wouldn't be surprised if what? >> i said i would not be surprised if it went to trial given the way the litigation has proceeded. unclear who is the lead counsel

for dominion, you know, excellent attorney. i know tom. i would not be surprised if they try this case. it's really an issue of what is the goal. what are they looking for? >> before you go, i mean, the idea that they are actually going to get $1.6 billion seems unrealistic when you talk to people about this case. what do you think? >> i roolooked at their damages breakdown. it's an interesting model. they have lost profits, 600 million, loss enterprise, lost business value. when you have business damages like that, hulk hogan, different type of damages, that gives you a baseline number. they are not crazy numbers. you assume they will have experts that can prove up those business damages, right. forensic accountants. so not crazy. you never know until you get in the courtroom. >> i don't think this is about money. i think it's about something else. >> i tend to agree. i think there is a little more

going on here. >> thank you, ken. good to see you again. appreciate it. >> yeah, yeah, thanks for having me. have a good die. >> you, too. this morning more than 20 hours of video set to be released related to the brutal police beating death of tyre nichols in january. it comes after officials reveal that a seventh memphis police officer has now been fired. five have been criminally charged. shimon prokupecz joins me now. shimon, good morning to you. so what can we expect to see in the new video? >> it will be a lot of the officers. it's about 20 hours of video. it's going to be the aftereffects, some of the officers talking about what happened, some of the other officers we see later on arriving on scene. significant also, and there is video of actually tyre's mother talking to officer hemphill. he is the officer who used his taser. she comes to the scene where the car is stopped and she has a conversation with this officer.

so that video we do expect to see and he explains sort of what happened to her and how tyre had this super strength and her response to that is going to be certainly interesting and something that we are going to want to hear about and see. there is going to be some video perhaps what ultimately led up to this stop of tyre nichols and then just the officers talking. there are still a lot more that needs to come out about this, and i new the memphis police department now that their internal investigation -- they investigated 13 officers. that's a lot of police officers. of course, seven now being fired. others being suspended. so there is still a lot we need to learn and a lot more information and documents that they say are going to come out and we are going to learn more perhaps about exactly everything that is sort of led up to this and what the officers said afterwards. >> does it lead to more charges? >> there is -- the district attorney certainly is considering charges against that one other officer, officer hemphill. he is the white officer who we

hear saying, you know, stomp his ass and uses the taser. tha that is someone in the crosshairs of the district attorney and we could potentially see charges. a total of about seven or so officers are under criminal investigation. so we will see if more. also the department of justice investigation and whether or not they are going to bring criminal charges against these officers for civil rights violations. there is a lot. also the other thing that's happening, this community really besieged by crime. crime is a significant issue in this community and they are asking for police to do more, but last night the city council, there is a new ordinance now in place as a result of this where unmarked police vehicles can no longer do crime -- do car stops. >> beyond the scorpion unit? >> right. so if you are an unmarked car in the city of memphis, you are no longer allowed to pull over vehicles unless there is some kind of exigent circumstance. it is going to change policing

in the city. significant stuff. >> superhuman strength? really? thank you, shimon. all right. also this morning from china to mexico to communities right here in the united states, we will take a look at the border and how fentanyl and the products that are laced with it actually make their way into the united states. >> that's right. it starts with going with where it's made on the other side of this border in mexico. so we head to a place that's known as cartel country. incredibly dangerous. we go with the mexican army and you are going to see, as you join us, how they are going about this, how they are trying to crack down and all the obstacles they are facing on the ground there. the only smart bed in the world that actively cools, warms and effortlelessly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep p per night. proven quality sleep. onlyly from sleep number. my most important kitchen tool?

there are so many families out there who have kids struggling. i mean, after covid, the crisis, you know, the phones, the social media, all that stuff. so, yes, absolutely do they struggle for sure. fentanyl is something i heard of but not -- not something i would have ever thought would have killed our child ever. >> that's a mom who is feeling like so many other parents across the united states. she was speaking at cnn's town hall with anderson cooper last night focused on fentanyl about her son's death and her family's experience with the devastating fentanyl crisis here in america. it is claimed more than 200,000 lives over the last two years. you can see many of the victims here. so many of them in their 20s and 30s. it is affecting communities nationwide known for the extreme potency, not only one of the

most dangerous opioids on the streets today, also one of the cheapest. david culver is live on the u.s./mexico border. this has such a focus on where this comes from. we were just talking to republican congressman michael waltz about this. you have been tracing the path of fentanyl and where it goes from chinese chemical factories to mexican drug busts. what is that line? what does it look like. >> reporter: the biggest frustration in trying to answer this question, how do you stop the flow, especially when it comes over borders like behind me, is figuring out where it starts. as you point out, the chemicals that are used to make fentanyl come from china. so, too, is mexico. south of border and what law enforcement there are doing. the mexican army, the military as a whole as well as local law enforcement in mexico face allegations of corruption, they are not doing enough. the mexican army told us that's not true, that they are doing something.

we said show us. here is where they took us. the state of sinaloa, cartel country, as some see it. here the mexican army is on the hunt for drug labs. with 50 soldiers and a convoy of six armored vehicles we travel to a rural and mountainous landscape. u.s. officials estimate fentanyl makes mexico's criminal organizations billions of dollars each year. the cartels determined to eliminate anyone or anything that might threaten their profit. colonel gonzalez cuevas our guide. taking us to the scene of their latest fentanyl bust. they are securing the perimeter right now. days earlier he says cartel members opened fire on him and his soldiers. he said they started shooting at

them, hitting the vehicles and then the four guys started running. the army's intel led them to this unassuming home. in a quiet family-friendly neighborhood. that white building right there, that's the fentanyl lab. the army says they seized 270,000 pills here. all containing fentanyl. he said they had all sorts of machines to make the pills. in his 35 years in the army working to dismantle drug operations, the colonel says fentanyl has been flar more devastating and difficult to control than cocaine, heroin and meth. they test substances to know what exactly they are seizing. it shows here it's a breakdown of what the chemical is and has listed the hazmat component. crucial in understanding how fentanyl is made is knowing where the chemicals are sourced. a lot he says come from the port which came from asia. hire ranking military officials

told us most come from china. china's vast chemical industry is where experts say many of the ingredients to manufacture fentanyl, known as precursors, are sourced. with worsening u.s./china relations working with chinese officials to stop the flow increasingly challenging. with china it's extremely difficult because you don't get information from them. you don't get krcooperation fro them. mat donahue worked for the d.e.a. for three decades, retiring last year. >> mexico is making drugs knowing it will kill americans and shipping them up there without you putting anyone in jail, going after their drug assets. >> reporter: high-ranking mexican officials adamantly push back. instead, they point to the u.s. to do more on its soil. a sentiment echoed by china. on monday the foreign ministry saying in part, the accusation by some people from the u.s. that china is not further controlling the export of fentanyl precursors because of

geopolitical influence is a desecration of the spirit of the rule of law and is completely groundless, adding using china as a scapegoat will not solve the drug crisis in the united states. back here, the army keeps a presence at the busted labs 24/7 preserving the scenes for prosecutors and preventing cartel members from restarting production. they also conduct ran up inspections at package facilities around culiacan, searching for fentanyl and the precursor chemicals needed to make it. setting up checkpoints, working to prevent the distribution of drugs made here. he said in one of the searches, for example, it's not uncommon to find that fentanyl or other drugs will be stashed in places like a car wheel or within the car, but even in the gas tank. >> fentanyl is sad. it's dirt cheap. you can take a life for probably five cents, ten cents, what it cost to make a pill that they are charging $15 for.

what is a human life worth now? >> reporter: days after our visit mexican army officials sent us this video from the back room of this small home. they seized 600,000 fentanyl pills. countless lives potentially saved. but the cartel-fueled production is seemingly endless and so, too, the devastation that awaits. where we are live this morning is a pretty significant part of the seizure process. out of all the fentanyl that is seized nationally in this country, more than half come from this district if in the san diego area. and let me show you this, kaitlin. this was from last week. it shows you how potent these busts could potentially be. 232 pounds of fentanyl were seized worth about $3 million. three people were arrested for bringing over. but this has the potential according to u.s. law enforcement to kill 50 million people. that's combining the populations

of new york state and texas. it's significant. >> it's incredibly significant. every parent's worst nightmare. david culver, a fantastic look at what actually happens behind the scenes. thank you for that reporting. >> wow, i can't wait to see more of the investigation into this. six near collisions, smoke filling cabins, a passenger threatening to stab a flight attendant, so many scares recently in the air. we will be joined by a pilot to talk what the faa can do about it. 600,000 vehicles passing through their uk port every year. don'n't just connect your business.

>> so, those close calls coupled with scary incidents inside the plane's cabin raises a big question this morning. what is happening within the aviation industry? joining us now is a spokesman for allied pilots association dennis, thank you for joining us, sir, appreciate it. according to the faa, serious incursions which is a collision that's nearly avoided seem to have gone down over the last two decades. are we seeing an uptick now with this? >> well, we are seeing a system that is under stress. pilots across the nation have well over a year have been talking about this. we have airlines scheduling us to the maximums, reducing pilot training, they are basically running along a barbed wire fence up to the maximums and we shouldn't be surprised when we see safety seals start to leak.

we have seen reliability gone down the drain and that's recovered a bit. but pilots across the nation are saying you are trying to do too much with too little. the faa has called for a safety summit, which is great, but it's time for actions and not just words. >> to be clear, are we seeing an uptick or is this standard? same thing with cellphone cameras, sometimes we see incidents more. we feel like we are seeing more because they are on camera. i am just wondering are we seeing more or are we just reporting about it more? >> no, it's happening more. we are seeing it. it's evidence. you played the tapes. by the way, those tapes, you have pilots, two highly trained experienced and well rested pilots that are making the difference between an incident and an accident. i like to hit on one thing. one of those incidents, a fedex aircraft went around. they saw what was happening before they were going to land on a southwest aircraft during low weather. those two pilots did the right

thing. they made it work. but here is the deal. they are actually -- they fly under different safety and rest rules, a cargo car valve. it's these things that are going on in the industry that the public doesn't know about and responsibility lies right with the faa. folks who fly the executive jets, they fly on another set of rules. we are flying in the same airspace. so this has got to stop and be aligned. >> i think you make an important point. well, if you are not flying people, you are flying cargo, you have less rest and things like that. you are all in the air at the same time. you said in your first answer, we are doing this with two little of something. what does that mean? what do you need to make it safe for all of us up there? >> what we need is for the airlines, the faa to do their job. you know, we sent a letter to the faa back in june saying that our particular airline was reducing the frequency of

training and quantity of training at just the wrong time when we have all of these new pilots coming in. they are experienced but they are not seasoned in this operation. so the faa responded to us, believe it or not, what they are doing isn't illegal. if it's legal, good to go. we have a saying on the flight deck. just because it's legal doesn't mean it's safe and smart. and i would like to add one more thing to go frurt. for five years we have been waiting to get a secondary barrier before the flight deck door. there is legislation. it's done. and we are still waiting for that. and i am thinking about that passenger that became unhinged and attacked the flight attendant. the fact that we're talking about this now, how many years after 9/11 and we can't get this done because of pushback by the airlines not wanting to spend a couple extra bucks, the price of a seat back entertainment center, is beyond belief. it's time to get this done. they are making record revenue right now, airlines.

it's time for record responsibility to our passengers and pilots will make sure that happens. but we get a little weary having to fight this he every turn. we are hopeful that the safety summit may make a disturbance, but it's not going to be a comfortable space because we are fighting for our passengers' safety. that's everything. >> yeah. you seem quite frustrated with the faa. we will pay close attention to that. dennis, thank you so much for joining us this morning. thank you. take care. all right. also today from iran to afghanistan, even ukraine, on this international women's day we are highlighting the challenges that women are facing across the globe. no one better than christiane amanpour here in studio to discuss with us. >> there she is.

take a look at this. this is a look at protests in jakarta, indonesia, manila, earlier this morning on in international women's day. this year's theme is embracing equity. there is still so many places in the world that aren't even close

to that when it comes to gender as evidenced by the wave of protests led by iranian women following the 22-year-old death of mahsa amini who died in police custody there. in afghanistan groups of young girls protesting outside a kabul university as their male classmates returned to class it week. this video shows girls sitting on the ground and reading books. in december, the taliban banned female students from attending university. who better to talk to us about all of this that holds men to account. >> she holds everyone to account. >> i am thinking men because of the riranian foreign minister. our chief international anchor, christiane amanpour. thank you. >> good morning. >> happy international women's day. >> happy international women's day. love having you here. >> all the time that you spend around the world over the years, just especially this year, the theme is embracing equity, but it's not even there to embrace in so many places. >> yes and no. i like to look at solutions and i like to look at the light in the darkness.

so we have had a lot of darkness this year, as you mentioned, from iran to afghanistan where the full weight of the states there have come down on the backs of women and especially young women, girls who just want to go to school. of course, ukraine where women and girls amongst of course the whole population are suffering so much because of this relentless war that russia started. but you just opened this segment talking about the protests and marches in indonesia. the world's biggest, most populous muslim country where they are able to come out on to the streets and, you know, celebrate their rights, demand more rights and do all these kinds of things. i also have sources who have told me that in afghanistan, which has literally the world's most draconian anti-girl and anti-women policies established under the taliban the last several months they know the kabul group of taliban leaders know they can't continue like this and they are trying to

convince the fundamentalists religious leaders who live in kandahar, the muslim fundamentalists there, denying girls education is not islamic and not good for afghanistan. so that is moving in a way -- >> the push? >> yeah, the push in iran where girls actually have had plenty of rights in education and to vote and to work. their legal rights are minimal. there you have seen this outpouring and this movement which is currently being pressured and crushed, but still girls are not giving up the fight. >> what you said about afghanistan is really -- >> it really is -- >> could we see change there? >> i don't know how fast, because it is like molasses. but when you see an outright open split amongst the taliban, which never happened before, where you have the person i interviewed, the head of the f taliban back in may told me then and he told the fundamentalist leaders he and his group of

ministers in kabul do not believe in this draconian crackdown on basic fundamental girls and women's rights and that, more importantly, he said we are under pressure from our country, from our people. that doesn't normally get said between and amongst the taliban. on top of everything else, they say that they put it to the so-called group of religious scholars and even they have told the fundamentalist leadership in kandahar that, you know, cracking down on women and their right to education and work is not in the quran. this is in that part of the world significant. we'll see whether it leads to anything and we have to hold them to account as the international community is doing, but you can see that women themselves from the grassroots are refusing to be denied in this way. >> poppy did a fascinating interview with a woman leader

this morning and after the interview we talked about there are so many places around the world where there have been women leaders who are running the country. >> yeah, yeah. >> but not in the biggest democracy in the world. what, christiane, what -- >> don't look at me. i am not an american citizen. [ laughter ] >> i am sure you have ideas. >> of course. it is crazy. you can ask any female who ran for the highest offices in the country how they feel being compared to other lesser, you know, evolved democracies in the world which have actually had women leaders all the way from pakistan to england. if you look at the north european leaders, who just -- she is a very important prime minister, particularly around the ukraine war, the prime minister of estonia, just won a major election, marin, the prime minister in finland, young, very dynamic and very powerful women who are holding to account the world's professed support for ukraine, and it's incredible to see how many women are standing

up in this crucial moment right now where democracy is at stake. and they are some of the toughest people saying, don't give up this fight, we have to win this fight for democracy because it's also about women, children and the whole society. >> and there is leading so differently. they get a different criticism than other world leaders. >> always. >> criticized for dancing or going out. >> i asked her that. i said, how is it possible that in 2023 you were criticized for being a human being? right? and she says, don't worry, i have been dancing since. women do also, let's face it, jacinda ardern, she said i have no more the tank. nicholas sturgeon said i can't go on any more. there is a different and unacceptable pressure that is put on women leaders, holding them to very different standards and also the weight of misogyny and everyday sexism is something in our part of the world even in

our part of the world, in the west, in the democracies, is still something that women have to deal with across the board. >> it's always a pleasure to see you. >> the fight is not over. it's never over. >> it's always a pleasure to see you. >> thank you. >> we have you here in studio. >> it's a pleasure to be here. >> see you in the field at some point, dangerous place. >> i go out there, i do the reporting, i come back here. >> thank you so much. so, boy meets congress. actor ben savage is ready to run for office? harryensen explains why this morning's number is 30. is he 30? >> no.
