6:00 am
>> drone deck. check us out. appreciate everything, guys. what else can i tell you? >> thanks, dan. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys, we love fox. thank you. >> that was really cool. it might change the way we receive our mail and food in the near future. have a great day. >> bill: good three hours. good morning. a raid unlike any other on a former president. f.b.i. executes a search warrant at donald trump's estate in florida. a major story evolved by the minute. we'll let you know when we know more. we'll set the scene. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: good morning, i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." this news broke around 6:35 last night as we were watching special report and then there has been developments since then. mar-a-lago was known as the summer white house during the trump administration. yesterday the f.b.i. swarmed it. >> bill: agents searching the property as part of an
6:01 am
investigation into the handling of presidential documents. the move coming as a surprise to just about everyone. >> dana: that includes the former president. he was in new york at the time and he says he had been cooperating on the records investigation and argues it was not necessary to raid his home. >> bill: all of this, dana, setting off a political firestorm as you can imagine. the president's supporters and allies gathering outside mar-a-lago saying it is no coincidence it happened with the mid-terms less than 100 days from today. >> dana: team fox coverage this morning. jhonattan turley is here with legal analysis. jacqui heinrich at the white house and david lee miller at trump tower and david spunt is at the justice department. no doubt they are being quite tight lipped but a lot of questions, david. >> no doubt a lot of questions specifically aimed at the officials in this building. though they are not saying anything at this point. former president donald trump was the person who broke the news to the world about this raid on his place, his estate
6:02 am
at mar-a-lago at 6:35 last night. the f.b.i. was actually at his place inside mar-a-lago many hours before that in the early morning hours of yesterday morning. for multiple sources, a federal judge signed off on a search warrant for f.b.i. agents to go to mar-a-lago and take boxes of items. it is not directly related to the january 6, 2021 attack on the u.s. capitol. we're told it is related to potential classified information trump is alleged to have taken from the white house to florida when he left office on january 20, 2021, the day joe biden was inaugurated. in february the archivist of the united states, he retired, sent a letter to the house committee on oversight about how the archives was in contact with the former president's team about more than a dozen boxes he had. there are public reports the government took 15 boxes that
6:03 am
were marked classified. fox news is told by a source that inside mar-a-lago yesterday f.b.i. agents looked in every office, safe, grabbed documents and boxes without going through them on the property. pictures were also taken which is standard. the source said they took boxes and documents to go through later once they left mar-a-lago. a source said they were not being judicious about what they took. the building, the department of justice where the final decisions are made along with the f.b.i. willing across the street, this morning merrick garland. he was aware of this raid prior to it happen and so was the f.b.i. director. it would be standard protocol. garland is in a pressure cooker every day. democrats say he has not done enough to investigate donald trump. republicans say he hasn't done enough to investigate hunter biden. garland says he is not afraid and will operate without fear
6:04 am
or favor. no comment from the attorney general but possible we may hear something. it is unprecedented, high profile. hard for the f.b.i. or d.o.j. not to say anything publicly. >> dana: the fifth floor of the justice department where the decisions are made. no doubt they're thinking about this and waiting for answers. david, appreciate it. >> bill: in the meantime here in new york president trump lashing out at law enforcement for the unprecedented move. david lee miller continues our team coverage at trump tower, manhattan, new york city. good morning there today. >> good morning, bill. there was a great deal of outrage not only from prominent republicans but from ordinary voters concerning the raid at mar-a-lago. the former president himself was here in new york city at trump tower when the f.b.i. entered his florida home soon after hearing about it he released a lengthy statement on
6:05 am
his social media platform that said in part, quote, it is prosecutorial misconduct. weaponization on the justice system and radical democrats. the text continues such an assault could only take place in broken third world countries, america has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level never seen before. this morning mr. trump posted a campaign style video online. it doesn't mention the raid he talks about how law enforcement is wrongly used to go after political parties and talks about the decline of america and said hard working patriots will save the country concluding saying the best is yet to come. his son, eric, who was among the first notified when the f.b.i. arrived at mar-a-lago described the raid as political persecution. >> my father saves clippings. he had boxes, when he moved out of the white house. you want to serge for anything and you think anything, come ahead.
6:06 am
it was an open door policy. >> broad range of high-profile republicans have joined the chorus denouncing the raid including desantis, graham and mccarthy who warned of possible investigation of the justice department in a tweet he said i've seen enough. the department of justice has reach a state of weaponization. we'll conduct immediate oversight of this department. follow the facts and leave no stone unturned. garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar. this morning outside mar-a-lago there are roughly a dozen or so demonstrators to support the president. here on new york fifth avenue trump tower behind me a different scene. there are a great number of camera crews. only a small number of demonstrators. overwhelmingly they are critical of the president and have a large banner that you can see over my shoulder that
6:07 am
says arrest trump. one of the other signs says no one is above the law. bill x bill, back to you. >> dana: let's bring in jonathan turley, law professor at george washington university. talk to us about how unprecedented this is. >> it's unprecedented at a number of levels. the most obvious being that no president has ever been subject to this type of raid. it is also rare under this particular law, the presidential records act is not a heavily enforced law. it is rarely used for criminal prosecution. indeed, even in the most egregious past cases punishment has been light. the sandy berger case where you had the former national security advisor who removed material in his socks and clearly intentional. he dropped it at a spot where he could recover it later and
6:08 am
berger didn't serve any jail time or have clearance permanently removed. he was allowed to plead to a misdemeanor. it is a disconnect to see this type of heavy-handed raid occurring. there is finally the question of why? the trump family insists that it has said they could go through boxes, go through material upon request. somebody is obviously lying here. hard to believe a judge signed off on this if the f.b.i. said we can go in there with a subpoena with no problem. the assumption is there was a suggestion that documents could be destroyed unless the raid was allowed to go forward. >> bill: professor, a couple of things here. in january the national archives retrieved 15 boxes of material from mr. trump, and in trump's statement last night he talked about the cooperation that he was affording law enforcement. we are trying to put one and
6:09 am
two together here, right? roe khanna, democrat from california said this. >> i don't want to politicize it. i think attorney general garland and the justice department have done a very good job by following the facts. i do think that this gives me confidence that the justice department is really pursuing this thoroughly, objectively and in a non-political way. >> bill: to that i guess you could say how would he know? i think the only way we would know is if merrick garland comes out and explains what's happening. i would expect to hear from him today, would you? >> i would hope so. the justice department does not reveal details in ongoing cases but this is unique. there is a great deal of unease. after all f.b.i. has a
6:10 am
checkered history of false representations, even outright lies in the russian collusion case against the former president. high-ranking f.b.i. officials saying that they had an insurance policy against trump becoming president last time. you can't ignore all of that. there are legitimate concerns among trump supporters that this seems like another insurance policy but there are a lot of questions here. after those 15 boxes were recovered by the archive, did they convey to the president that they had ongoing concerns or send and itemized list or indicated they believe documents remained on the residence that had to be turned in? those are the details we would like to know. did the president just refuse those inquiries? that's not what the family is saying. >> bill: professor, thank you. we'll call on you a lot because we really don't know where it is going. jonathan turley, thank you for
6:11 am
your time today. >> dana: we do know, bill, how some in the media had wanted it to go. we have some examples from that last night. watch this. >> putin, he doesn't believe in the rule of law, xi doesn't, you know, go with the rule of law. just like donald trump. >> he is not the most honest person in the world and most meticulous at obeying laws. >> tomorrow you want to buy the physical copy of the newspaper. you will want to buy it and foldist carefully. >> this is a night where you'll remember where you were. >> dana: all a little overwrought. it is unprecedented. professor turley just said a lot of questions, we don't have answers. we'll see if the justice department and f.b.i. are willing to come forward with a lot more transparency so people can understand. >> bill: crack for cable tv. 24/7 right now. >> dana: you remember where you were last night when you heard? >> bill: i was at my apartment
6:12 am
in new york city. >> dana: i was watching bret baier eating a hamburger. >> bill: when sandy berger went into the national archives and put documents in his socks and left. the headline on the drudge report. the single greatest headline of all time. docs in his socks. >> dana: that's a good one. >> bill: epic. 12 past. >> i think they will go after the small guy. not big companies. >> who are actually going to benefit and who will be the losers actually of this type of policy change? >> the i.r.s. needs to be smaller, not bigger. >> bill: the democrats plan to make the i.r.s. supersized. republicans say middle class americans will bear the brunt.

6:19 am
overwhelming resources. imagine that. nate foye is in new york city for us. hi, nate. >> dana, it's interesting. new york city mayor eric adams calls governor abbott anti-american for busing migrants to new york city but abbott is saying the federal government has been flying migrants into new york for months. governor hochul is also weighing in. >> totally disregarding the human part of this. there is a humanitarian part of being an american and i think there is nothing more anti-american than what he is displaying right now. >> top line messages, it is unconscionable that a governor would treat human beings as pawns in his just to gain for political points. that's not who we are as new yorkers. >> meanwhile, senate majority leader chuck schumer of new york is holding off on making a comment at least for now.
6:20 am
listen to this. >> no, no optics on the migrant crisis. i haven't really had time to dig into it i've been so busy. i'll get a briefing from the administration and then i'll put out a statement. >> dana, governor abbott had this to say last night and tweeted the federal government's refusal to address the border crisis is what's truly horrific. texas will send buses to washington, d.c. and new york city until biden does his constitutional duty and secures our border. now with more buses expected the "new york post" says new york city is opening a new facility in mid town manhattan to house migrants. the department of homeland services is accepting proposals right now and the facility would be intended to hold up to 600 families. today we also know that new york city council is holding a special hearing to talk about homeless shelters in the city and it comes as leaders in new york and washington, d.c. continue asking the biden
6:21 am
administration for more help. we'll send it back to you. >> dana: thanks for staying on top of that story for us. >> the takeaway from the passage of this bill is there is an i.r.s. agent coming to a neighborhood near you. 87,000 new employees at the i.r.s.. only 4% of them will be committed to helping improve taxpayer service. most of them are going to be harassing middle income taxpayers. >> the warning from the republican side, john thune calling out democrats for their plan to beef up the i.r.s. with 87,000 new agents. that would give the i.r.s. more staff than the state department, the f.b.i., and the border patrol combined. fox news contributor sean duffy, former wisconsin congressman. good morning to you. how do you think this is going to go? >> not well. i disagree with john thune. this is not an american tax agency. this is a republican tax agency. when i ran for congress in 2010 i ran against a 40 year
6:22 am
incumbent. he was very powerful. when i announced i was running i got a tax audit from the i.r.s.. four supporters who went to campaign stop and asked fair but hard questions. after the democrat congressman's staefrs asked who the four people were three months later they got tax audits. this is punish republicans and republican donors if you give to the republican party which by dem standards is the wrong party. the i.r.s. is coming for you. this is not transparent. no one sees who is being audited. you don't put it on your facebook page and instagram. they can do it under the cover of darkness to silence and punish republicans and make sure democrats go scot-free. that's what this is about. >> bill: you have a big family. in 2011 the i.r.s. audited fam
6:23 am
leaps claiming adoption tax credit. >> i was not aware of that. i think if you look at writeoffs that big families can get they'll come for you. by the way, bill. this will be used to go after larger income donors. not enough money. some money. but if you ramp up the i.r.s. by 600%. that's the dollar difference. in 2021 it was 12.5 billion. it will go to 80 billion. they need agents to go after middle and lower income individuals and harass them. if you aren't paying your taxes you should pay. to punish people through the i.r.s. is the tactic here which is most concerning to me. >> bill: it adds up to more and more money to pay your accountant or lawyers if necessary, if needed to get out of the hole. a day ago bernstein, economic advisor at the white house, was on cnbc. here is the key clip let's say. watch it.
6:24 am
>> i've heard people talk about small business on the minimum corporate tax. i want to be clear. >> you don't pay. >> wait a minute. >> no, no, no, that's not what i said. nobody under $400,000 will pay higher taxes. >> bill: he could not answer the question about those being audited who make less than $400,000 a year. seems to be a marker. >> of course. they will audit more people that make less than $400,000 a year. that's where the real money is. they'll tax oil and gas companies more, methane, crude, that will drive up the cost that every american pays at the pump no matter what you make. you are all paying more. again, this hits everybody and the real move here, bill, you've heard a lot on this network. we'll outsource american independence from oil and gas and go to the green energy. we don't make wind turbines or solar panels or batteries in america. they are made in china.
6:25 am
it drives up the cost for every american. this will be an inflation driver. your dollar will be worth less money when you go to the grocery store. a silent tax on people. this is bad for middle income americans and poor americans. it will hurt more people than it is going to help. >> bill: i don't know where they will find the workers, either. it will take a while. 89,000? thank you, sean, nice to see you, sean duffy with us. >> thank you, bill. >> there needs to be a top down clean-out of all the upper brass and all the upper management in all those organizations starting with merrick garland and the f.b.i. director. >> dana: greg steubey this morning on the f.b.i.'s search of former president trump's mar-a-lago estate. a live report just ahead plus this. security camera footage of the

>> dana: fox news alert. the f.b.i. raiding the florida home of former president trump. it is part of an investigation into the handling of presidential records. ashley webster is reporting live from the former president's mar-a-lago estate in florida. hi, ashley. >> hi, dana. all is quiet today. quite a different story yesterday. that property behind me where dozens of f.b.i. agents traveling in dozens of cars raided the property all part of an investigation into whether donald trump removed classified documents from the white house when he left the office. a search of this property earlier in the year according to the national archives department, did reveal that there were some classified documents at one point were in
6:32 am
mar-a-lago. the former president's home. now that warrant that was issued yesterday perhaps trying to find more proof of that. protests last night here, dozens of people coming from all across florida, folks angry about the f.b.i. raid but also here to express their support for donald trump. very interestingly early this morning donald trump posting a campaign-style video on his social media platform truth social basically a four-minute video that starts very ominously but ends with perhaps a tease about a certain presidential run in 2024. take a listen to this. >> hard working patriots like you who built this country and hard working patriots like you who will save our country. it is time to start talking about greatness of our country again. >> well, did you hear that?
6:33 am
it's time to start talking about greatness for our country again. sure sounds like a familiar campaign dance, does it not? all of it after the f.b.i. raided his home in palm beach. both the department of justice and the f.b.i. have not yet released an official statement. >> dana: so far doesn't look like they have anything on the schedule as of yet. ashley webster at mar-a-lago. thank you. >> bill: actress anne heche in extremely critical condition according to one of her representatives. she has been in a coma since her fiery crash in los angeles in friday of last week. if you watch that video carefully, you will see a car screaming down that street. its footage captured on a camera moments before the fiery crash destroyed a home.
6:34 am
we pick up the coverage live in l.a. today. >> good morning. the news of anne heche's condition comes as something of a shock as she had previously been described as stable by a representative. but now after friday's crash in which heche somehow drove her car into a house sparking a fire that destroyed the home and her car and left the actress are severe burns a different representative says she has a significant pulmonary injury and burns that require surgical intervention. she is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident. now heche was seen being wheeled away on a stretcher on friday and appeared to be moving at that point. the accident, by the way, happened just before 11:00 a.m. less than 30 minutes earlier,
6:35 am
according to the own er of a hair salon. heche bought a red wig. we're trying to get permission to use the photo and later told the "l. a. times" heche did not appear to be intoxicated. the lapd tells us they got a warrant after the crash to draw blood from heche and are awaiting results of the tests. the police investigation is looking into potential hit and run and d.u.i. charges. the woman in the home that was crashed into was not hurt but lucky to be alive. she is in shock and has lost everything, including that home which is now uninhabitable. >> bill: that story continues in l.a., jonathan hunt. >> dana: new school year is fast approaching many districts are scrambling to fill teacher and staff openings. the shortage is expected to grow over the next few years.
6:36 am
a superintendent of a central school district in upstate new york. >> well done. >> dana: good to be with you today. i'm fascinated by this story and i know you have what's going on in upstate new york. look across the country. headlines everywhere. wisconsin, virginia, tennessee, hawaii, florida. teacher shortages. incoming number of teachers is shrinking, declining from 275,000 in 2010 to under 200,000 in 2020 and that is projected to be under 120,000 by 2025. this is not going in a good direction if you want to have staff for schools. what are you experiencing, jesse? >> those headlines are no real surprise compared to what we have been experiencing here. i think in this part of new york state it is rural. we have been experiencing a population decline for really the last 20 years. so most enrollments of
6:37 am
neighboring schools have dropped 20% and it could be to our benefit because we have fewer students we have to be teaching. in new york state and new york city they've experienced a population increase. so i expect the problem is tougher for them. >> dana: how are you trying to recruit to find teachers? >> is well, it's really trying to grow your own. in this part of the state a lot of younger students when they go through school may not come back to the area. teacher may leave a neighboring district to come here and who will backfill that position? we're trying to schedule out retirements forare the next three years and know at the end of this year we'll lose two high school science teachers, the sciences are the harder to fill areas. we'll reach out to an area of teacher preparation program and see if they have student teachers coming through the pipeline. a great opportunity for them to get to know our school and how
6:38 am
proficient they are in the classroom. >> bill: randi weingarten. >> this year was the worst i've ever seen. the politics and politicians have really polluted what goes on with teachers right now. >> dana: do you think politics is the reason that you have a shortage of teachers? >> i don't think the national dialogue helped in knife way, shape or form. the shortage we've been seeing started a decade ago when legislation that tied teacher evaluations to student performance on new york state tests. the first time we started seeing a drop in applicants for our positions but a drop in enrollments in area teacher colleges. >> dana: i hope you find the teachers you need, administrators. a fascinating problem not just there in upstate new york but across the country, not enough teachers and a lot of kids that need to be educated. thank you for your time. >> thank you so much. >> bill: there is an urgent
6:39 am
search underway for a missing 16-year-old girl in the state of california. why investigators say they suspect foul play in her disappearance. plus it's been one year since the launch of an urgent operation to get u.s. allies out of afghanistan as the taliban took control. allies our government left behind. our next guest is part of that operation. he will join us. >> we didn't take any of the vulnerable afghans and interpreters who passed the background checks nor do we make a significant effort to get the american citizens still there out. you see, son, with a little elbow grease, you can do just about anything. thanks, dad. that's right, robert. and it's never too early to learn you could save with america's number one motorcycle insurer. that's right, jamie. but it's not just about savings. it's about the friends we make along the way. you said it, flo. and don't forget to floss before you brush.

your gums will thank you. -that's right, dr. gary. -jamie? sorry, i had another thought so i got back in line. what was it?

41 in late september. she has won 23 grand slams. she writes the countdown has begun. i have to focus on being a mom. my spiritual goals and finally discovering a different but yet exciting serena. i will relish these next few weeks. she says she is evolving away from tennis, turning her focus to family and her business interests, which are growing, by the way. >> dana: an amazing story. she is only 40. a lot more to come for her and exciting to watch the u.s. open. one year ago today we got images like these. displaced families inside afghanistan. in what was the start of a desperate scramble to evacuate allies who risked their lives to help our troops during the war. over the following 12 months, the operation helped 15,000 americans, afghan allies and
6:46 am
their families leave the country as the taliban took control. many more are still stranded there. alex was part of digital dunkirk and abdul is the first afghan national that alex successfully evacuated and we are happy to reunite you both. alex, thoughts on this anniversary? >> bittersweet. very lucky and fortunate to be here with abdul. he resettled in houston and wonderful family. everybody is school and he is working and great to see him here. there are still 160,000 interpreters, 74,000 of them are applicants and the rest are immediate family members who are left behind. the year later we have a commitment as a nation we haven't fulfilled. >> dana: do you think that the state department that this problem mainly lies? >> at this point executive departments and agencies are
6:47 am
bound by policy and law and so there are some legal changes that are required and then there are some policy actions that can be taken. there is a white house coordinator responsible for helping to facilitate some of that through the national security council and ambassador and her team at the state department have been fantastic. they were given a very difficult and nearly impossible mission and under the banner of afghan evacuation coalition several thousand volunteers and many groups who continued to work side-by-side for the last year. we're looking at the ability to move people and it is a capacity and volume problem at this point and it is something that only the government can solve. >> dana: abdul as you think back over this past year and resettling here in the united states, i'm sure in a way it is bittersweet but you told me on the break you and your family are doing well. tell me a little bit about your new life. >> my previous life or current life?
6:48 am
>> dana: current life. >> okay. yeah. i am so excited, in 20 years this is the first time i am staying a long time with my family. people in houston, they are lovely people, they are treating us well, and i am so excited here. life is treating me well. >> dana: we know the houston people are certainly amazing. as you said, alex, we had a commitment to people like abdul who worked with people like you and we're not fulfilling it. what would you like to see happen between now and say the next eight months or even within the next year so that we can try to find people that need to be safe from the taliban here with their families in order to thrive and be productive people like abdul is in houston?
6:49 am
>> sure. at this point there are a couple of things that need to happen. there is some administrative bureaucracies that needs to clear up. the folks who are already here security background checks and they were put on u.s. military aircraft. we brought them here and we have an obligation to figure out the disposition that makes sense and doesn't create more folks here outside legal status. for the folks inside our country there needs to be more planes and additional capacity to hold folks and there needs to be additional government resources to help do that. that's a matter of policy and law. we look to the white house and congress to satisfy both of those things. abdul, who is on now as you heard the first year in 20 years he spent time with his family. this amount of time. it hasn't just been service members. he was special forces interpreter. every day out there patrolling
6:50 am
alongside folks and getting shot at and blown up like everybody else and we owe them. >> dana: i have a quick question for abdul. what do your children like most about living in houston? >> before when they arrive to houston they were so nervous about their future. and whether they went to school, after a week now they are so excited and saying thanks, god, we got to a new country and new family here. >> dana: and a new life ahead of them. thank you to you both. the story is not over. >> bill: f.b.i. breaking new ground raiding the home of a former president raising new questions about a possible double standard at the d.o.j. the latest on the mar-a-lago search coming up.
6:51 am
a voluntary program put the homeless in los angeles into hotels during the pandemic. now voters are set to decide if this should become a mandate. >> what this initiative is saying is you have no say so. take the voucher, otherwise we'll sue you or someone will be able to bring a lawsuit on behalf of them and it could be anybody. than you get at a bank. 25% more cash to make home improvements. 25% more cash to pay bills. 25% more cash for retirement. call now and get an average of $60,000. veterans get more at newday usa. turn the equity in your home into cash.
6:54 am
6:55 am
6:56 am
>> bill: a proposed initiative in los angeles would require hotels to house the homeless. voters will decide in 2024. this is unique. the president of the northeast los angeles hotel owners association. good morning to you. i know you are against this. how does it make it to the ballot so fast? >> good morning, bill. this is part of a petition process that the unions brought forth where they got sufficient signatures from people,
6:57 am
explained to them they want to house homeless in the hotels along with other initiatives that were part of the petition process. it was brought forward to the city of los angeles city council and charter amendment allowed the city council to vote it into law or pass it on to the voters. our association and multiple other hotel associations addressed council last friday and demanded they not make it law but let the electorate decide if they want homeless people to be staying in the hotels throughout the city of los angeles in their neighborhood. >> bill: this is very interesting. in new york during the pandemic they had to close the homeless shelters so the pandemic would not spread. they housed them in hotels all over manhattan. the city was empty. you had project room key and turned multi-story hotels into makeshift shelters in l.a. but that project is basically shut down.
6:58 am
if the initiative passes, hotels would be required to notify the city how many rooms they have vacant by 2:00 in the afternoon. do i have that right? >> yes, bill, you have that right, which is 2:00 is when guests start checking in. reservation arrivals occur, room changes occur and what they will mandate if this is passed by the electorate is that we turn over our inventory to the city of los angeles to issue homeless vouchers and that will kill our marketability of the hotel industry. hurt us badly. the value of the hotels will go down and tourism and corporate travel will be affected in the city of los angeles. >> bill: some numbers now. l.a. homeless services authority 66,000 people were homeless in 2020, which was an increase of 14% from the year prior. it might have had a lot to do with covid. who is the group unite here,
6:59 am
local 11, the ones who gathered the signatures to put it before city council. who is that group? >> it is a union that represents a lot of hotel workers, housekeepers in the los angeles area. and they've been utilizing this charter amendment to get their initiatives passed through a petition process. so you can imagine somebody walking out of a grocery store saying would you like to sign this petition to help our homeless and house them in hotels. what folks don't know is what else they sign into is the petition is packed with other items and initiatives that benefit the unions. but hurt the hotel industry and they have passed a similar initiative a month ago which is law that limits the hours that housekeepers can work in the hotels and other things and they passed that by gathering signatures and asking people in the same manner if they would like to support a petition for worker safety in the hotel industry. again, people that sign
7:00 am
petitions never inquire what else is packed in that initiative. in that one the city council passed it outright and didn't send it to the electorate. >> bill: it is unique at a minimum. i don't know if it can pass and you'll fight against it. we'll see whether or not you are successful. thank you for your time. thank you, sir. >> dana: fox news alert now president biden about to speak at the white house. his remarks will come after he signs the chip and science act into law. but we are monitoring for any reaction to the f.b.i. raid at mar-a-lago. reporters surely have some questions for him as do we and we'll see if he takes them. back to that as news happens. f.b.i. agents armed with machine guns raiding president trump's home in florida executing a search warrant at the mar-a-lago estate looking for classified documents. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. something like this has never happened before in the u.s. f.b.i. search part of an investigation into whether or
7:01 am
not trump broke the law by taking classified records when he left the white house. president trump calling the search politically motivated stating this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. it is prosecutorial misconduct. the weaponization of the justice system and an attack by the radical left. democrats who don't want me to run for president in 2024. >> dana: house speaker kevin mccarthy warning the d.o.j. when republicans take back the house we'll conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts and leave no stone unturned. attorney general garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar. all this as critics accuse the f.b.i. of playing by two sets of rules. >> this double standard we're all sick and tired of seeing it. i'm sick and tired of talking about it. but it is real and it is wrong. >> people like hunter biden, hillary clinton and others get away, it appears, with nothing
7:02 am
for consequences for their activities. >> there is a threshold question of who should be ordering these types of raids. merrick garland has refused to appoint a special counsel on hunter biden. >> bill: more on the national archives angle. james freeman has analysis. jacqui heinrich is live at the white house and first to phil keating outside mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida. what's happening today? >> things are quiet today. it was not the case just 24 hours ago. this time yesterday morning a team of f.b.i. agents was serving that federal court-approved search warrant executing it inside former president trump's mar-a-lago residence as well as a resort. the president was not there. a couple of secret service agents were there and after they saw that search warrant they left the f.b.i. agents in there. keep in mind this was a federal
7:03 am
court-approved search warrant and nothing like this has ever happened at a former president's residence. this is really unprecedented. trump was if new york at the time at trump tower. captured on video by the associated press and fox news digital as he left to go to his bedminster golf resort in new jersey. this all centers on the former president allegedly taking classified and top secret documents with him as he moved to florida from the white house. between 12 and 15 boxes of documents we're told. former president trump issued this statement yesterday. the political persecution of donald trump has been going on for years with the now fully debunked russia, russia, russia scam, impeachment hoax number one and two and so much more. it just never ends. it is political targeting at the highest level. republicans are denouncing the
7:04 am
raid, florida governor ron desantis tweeted this. the raid of mar-a-lago is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the regime's political opponents while people like hunter biden get treated with kid gloves. now the regime is getting another 87,000 i.r.s. agents to wield against its adversaries, banana republic. reports are the agents went into a couple of rooms inside mar-a-lago, including going into a safe belonging to the former president. and this morning the "new york post" is now reporting that the federal magistrate here in florida who approved this search warrant, after he left working for the u.s. attorneys office back in 2008, he then went into private practice and represents several associates of the disgraced financier and accused serial pedophile
7:05 am
jeffrey epstein. >> bill: phil keating in mar-a-lago. back to you as we get more news from there. >> dana: the white house says it was not given advance warning about the raid on mar-a-lago. jacqui heinrich has reaction from washington good morning. >> good morning. amid claims that this raid had political motivations, a biden white house official tells fox nobody here got a heads-up on it. they say in a statement we did not have notice of the reported action and would refer you to the justice department for any additional information. fox has told merrick garland was aware of the raid. unclear if he gave the final safe-off. christopher wray was aware and carried out by d.c. f.b.i. agents. president trump called it an attack by radical left democrats who don't want him to run for president in 2024. hillary clinton deleted emails and nothing has happened to
7:06 am
hold her accountable. pelosi said the bar for this raid is very high. >> to have a visit like that and have a warrant, you need justification. no one is approve the law, not even a former president of the united states. >> multiple sources say at this point the raid is not related to a grand jury investigation to overturn the 2020 election but to material he allegedly brought into his home after his presidency. the national archives said they found classified materials in 15 boxes in mar-a-lago. republicans demand congressional briefings. jim banks will head to bedminster. overnight former president trump issued a video on his platform criticizing the biden presidency and his biggest hint of 2024 as of yet.
7:07 am
>> bill: bring in james freeman from the "wall street journal" to get analysis. i'm sure you have been watching cable 24/7 for the past 14 hours. go ahead and tell us. very good, james. go ahead and spill it. what is your analysis at the moment? >> i think it would be very foolish to assume, given rindt history that the f.b.i. has acted appropriately here. it is not just the little facts that we know. if this is an archives dispute, this is obviously not normal. if it was turned up when the former president returned some boxes recently, that would suggest he was cooperating. you get into the basic article 2 constitutional power, the president of the united states as commander-in-chief decides what is classified and what is not. now, unless they are going to tell us that president biden was allowing mr. trump to come back to the white house after
7:08 am
he left and rummage around and remove things, it is hard to see how this could be a case. you also mentioned the hillary clinton example. she was not the president and secretary of state operating with limited authority with classified documents. the f.b.i. you'll recall exonerated her without ever bringing the matter to the prosecutors at the justice department who are supposed to decide such things. we can go on and on. the question of the judge i think is interesting, too. could talk more about that. >> dana: do you have more information about that? that news just breaking while we're here on air. >> i appreciate your news on the judge but i think it should be noted, we saw nancy pelosi, you see a lot of people on the left right now saying surely a judge had to approve this warrant, so therefore there must be something to it. remember, the f.b.i. is the same organization that falsified evidence in order to
7:09 am
dupe the foreign intelligence surveillance court into turning the national security apparatus, the federal government, against a trump campaign associate. so there is no reservoir of credibility here. yes, christopher wray is a trump appointee. he obviously did not go to great lengths to clean house after the abuses we saw by the bureau most especially in the russia collusion case. >> dana: professor turley was on last hour and had this point to make adding to what you are saying here. >> the f.b.i. has a documented history of people with bias against the former president. you can't ignore all of that. >> dana: so that's your point, james. that is a part of the story. what's interesting -- when you talk about classified documents, classified for a reason and secret so you don't talk about them. the justice department and f.b.i. will have an obligation to the american people to have some transparency here and we don't have any indication. president biden is about to speak at the white house but we
7:10 am
don't see anything from the justice department or the f.b.i. how long can they remain silent while everyone wonders what the heck is going on here? >> i think absent some word from them. if it turns into a series of leaks, speculations. the history is not kind to them. i would add that after that despicable case of the f.b.i. falsifying the evidence that allowed them to get the fisa warrant to go after carter page, the trump campaign associate, there was essentially no punishment. even after his case resulted in a conviction, it was basically a year of probation and then he resumed his life. so there has not been -- not not have this history of abuse we have a documented case recently where there was no punishment for it. so if you are thinking the f.b.i. has had reason to reform, of course they've been criticized by the obama-era
7:11 am
inspector general, by the judges at the foreign intelligence surveillance court but no real punishment. there has been no incentive for them to reform. while they remain radio silent, i think it's just, as i said, foolish to assume they acted appropriately. >> bill: james, thank you. "wall street journal." reading now f.b.i. director wray, attorney general garland would have been made aware of the raid even if it was shortly before and fully briefed. now with regard to the boxes that james referenced a moment ago, the 15 boxes in january. i don't know if we know yet where they were handed over. was it trump tower new york ste, was it mar-a-lago in florida? it could make a big difference. if it's mar-a-lago you would say there is a measure of cooperation. >> dana: i believe based on what i read this morning. now i'm wondering but i believe it was in mar-a-lago. also in addition to that we have a big primary day today
7:12 am
tracking elections in four states including one where a member of the squad is fighting for her political future. >> bill: also the border crisis goes on and on by the day. the cartels are making a ton of money. agents seizing a million fentanyl pills last week alone. how much is getting through the cracks. >> dana: the family of gabby petito. does her family have a case? >> we believe these officers were negligent and that their negligence contributed to the cause of gabby's death. by refinancing up to 100% of your home's value, you could take out $60,000 or more. you could use that money to pay credit card debt and other expenses, plan for retirement, and get back on your feet financially. and don't let less-than-perfect credit hold you back. even if you've been turned

7:20 am
illegally into a private orchard here in eagle pass. this is the del rio sector which is averaging more than 1,500 illegal crossings every single day. this isn't the only group we've seen this morning so far. take a look at the video the drone team shot in eagle pass just about an hour and a half ago right after sunrise out here. this was another group of about 200 that crossed illegally all at the same time. as you mentioned, it is almost all single adults, predominantly single adult men from venezuela and cuba. those countries are not subject to title 42 right now meaning most of the people that you are seeing in this video right now will be released into the united states. they will not be expelled back to mexico. then take a look at this video out of the rio grande valley. texas troopers chasing a human smuggler in mission, texas. he goes into a cul de sac in a neighborhood and they start bailing out and jumping into
7:21 am
somebody's private property. that's a house. they jump over the fence the illegal immigrants to run through the person's front yard. troopers take several of them into custody and check the back of that pickup truck and pull off a piece of plywood and more illegal immigrants were in the truck. the human smuggler was arrested. look at this photo out of the tucson, arizona sector, a group of 51 migrants who crossed illegally in arizona. out of that 51, only one person was an adult. the rest were minors and children. the youngest 11 months old. last thing they would like to show you. this is out of miami, florida. a boat landing in key largo with 113 haitians in the boat. some in the water already. border patrol saying they responded to 16 different boat landings in a two-day span arresting 263 people in the

7:23 am
there is no actual border that is not -- everything is possible. the cartels are trying to do their best to pass these fentanyl pills through the port of entry or whatever it takes. fentanyl is so small that it can be easily concealed. however, our customs and border protection field operations officers are doing a great job detecting by interviewing and using technology to prevent or mitigate these pills from entering the united states. >> bill: keep at it, too. with the one million pills, how were you able to locate them? >> again, it's by -- we have technology and especially at the ports of entry have advanced technology to detect these pills in hidden compartments and such. however, the human factor still kicks in as far as to
7:24 am
interviews and, you know, stories that don't match what these people are saying as they cross the border, etc. but again, our partners here with border protection and field operations are doing an awesome job in detecting it. >> bill: let me be more specific. i don't want to reveal any tactics but how do they primarily disguise these pills when crossing the border? is it the hub of a wheel, on their body? what are the various ways, sir? >> whatever you can think of, that's how they are doing them. there is no -- anything set in stone as far as how they will do it. again, they are being very innovative and the pills can be concealed easily. body carriers, wheels, hidden compartments and such. again, you know, the technology that customs and border
7:25 am
protection have at the border is far outreaching more than the innovation than the cartels have. but we're still trying to mitigate this as we go forward. >> bill: chief, can you see with your technology through a car door? >> technology as far as to the ports of entry, that's something that you -- i rather not talk about that. >> bill: okay. >> there is technology and different ways that these pills can be detected. >> bill: here the numbers on the fentanyl throughout america february 2019 to february 2020, 39,000 deaths. next year 61,000, year after that 72,758. we are going in the wrong direction. i will give you the last word. >> i agree. this is turning into a pandemic. it got to the point that our

overdoses are increasing even locally. our officers are carrying narcan and we've saved lives. i've been in the business for 38 years and never thought i would ever see a day that our officers would be saving lives of people that were overdosing because of the pandemic that is far out reaching. >> the chief along the mexican border in arizona. best to your men and women on the job every day. thank you. >> show us the evidence. what's the endgame? progressive left want to block trump from running for office. this is going to damage the political system. the party in power wants to prevent the opposition, those people who want president trump from running for office. >> dana: outrage brewing over the raid on mar-a-lago. is there evidence of wrongdoing

use the valuable va home loan benefit you've earned with your service. >> this is unprecedented and deeply concerning, and to see this being done through the presidential archive act is such an overreach. it is just a long history of what this government has done to donald trump. >> bill: ronna mcdaniel. republicans demanding immediate answers from the f.b.i. on the raid on president trump's home in florida. agents looking for classified documents wanted by the national archives. national correspondent griff jenkins picks up the story in washington, d.c. good morning. >> good morning, bill. no shortage of outraged republicans and no shortage of americans wondering how did we get here? the answer may lie in the fact the justice department has been investigating trump for months
7:33 am
over potential mishandling of classified information. the ar khiefsh administration said in february it received 15 boxes from mar-a-lago of white house records in january including documents that the now retired national archivist said in a letter to the chairman of the house oversight committee were marked as classified national security information within the boxes. he also said his office was in communication with d.o.j. and former president trump representatives in search for additional records that may not have been transferred as required by the presidential records act of 1978. now, when you think about what they may be going for, that's unclear exactly what this raid was about. eric trump says he was shocked to learn of the raid saying his family has been cooperating. >> the purpose of the raid from what they said was because the national archives wanted to corroborate whether or not donald trump had any documents
7:34 am
in his possession. my father has worked so collaboratively with them for months. the lawyer working on this was totally shocked. i thought i had an amazing relationship with these people and all of a signed on no notice they send 20 cars and 30 agents? >> as we wait for answers as to why the raid took place critics are pointing out what they see is a double standard. hillary clinton's house was not raided when she had a classified computer in her home. >> bill: answer all that in time. thank you so much. >> dana: ominous warning about china. taiwan's foreign minister said the regime is yuntion its military drills around the island to prepare for an invasion. last week beijing launched a series of exercises surrounding taiwan after pelosi's visit there. i want to read this to you that they said the foreign minister that china has used the drills
7:35 am
to prepare for this invasion of taiwan. do you think that's what they are doing? >> hi, thanks for having me this morning. the short answer is yes. look, we look at china and we should look at china as the greatest threat we faced in the last 50 years. it is an adversary in every area led by an authoritarian president in president xi and they have taiwan in their crosshairs. this is a crisis that will grow over the next two years. why i say that is i believe that president xi believes this is an opportunity twin next two years to accomplish something with taiwan because i think he sees the president being weak when it comes to international relations and national security. so the will of the nation is basically encapsulated by the leader of the nation, president xi in china or president biden in the united states of america. when they see weakness they'll react. that's something we need to fear. three ways you can counter it,
7:36 am
economically with sanctions, put back militarily by putting more battle groups in the pacific. we only have one right now. or more importantly, the one that's key, politically. does it take risk? of course. this is the time after 50 years you pick up the phone, call president xi and say you know, this one china policy that we started in 1972 isn't working. we'll recognize taiwan as a nation. democratic nation, 23 million people. we go back to a two china policy. there is risk but if we don't do something in those three areas and react strongly, i think you see china will react and try to take taiwan under its umbrella. >> dana: how do you describe the america's national interest in doing any of those three things that you just talked about especially number three? >> well look, the reason why it's in our national interest
7:37 am
we've always been a pacific power based from world war ii on. that is a critical area for us to concentrate on. we need to push back on china becoming a regional power. our allies are looking at us. japan is looking at us, the philippines, vietnam, australia is looking at us. if they see us moving back or moving away from china because of a fear of china, they will gravitate more towards china. most of the trade, half the trade of the world goes through the south china sea and it is in the pacific area. we cannot afford to give up any of that territory, land or influence. if we do that, we'll hurt ourselves economically, militarily and also within the alliance. >> dana: i listen to you and i hear that loud and clear and it makes sense to me. but has president biden ever articulated such a thing to the american people? it's almost as if we talk about taiwan but on the periphery. they don't want to deal with it.
7:38 am
policy is unclear. you just laid out if that's what president biden believes, he could say that to the american people. do you think he would ever do that? >> no, i don't. here is why. look at the national security strategy of the united states of america. it is still an interim national security strategy. by goldwater nichols you need to have a strategy published every year that lays out the interest of a national. we don't know what the vital national interests are because biden hasn't expressed it in a final document. the answer is no, he hasn't done it at all. he hasn't sent that to the american people so they can digest it, think about it, talk about it, and make it happen. >> dana: i had forgotten they haven't released that. thank you for the reminder. we'll ask them about it as well. keith kellogg, have a great day. >> bill: gabby petito's family suing police for $50 million
