♪ >> low rider. when todd split his pants on stage with him. >> big city of minneapolis. i don't know why they would put that up? >> because the vikings and giants sunday. >> we'll watch you this weekend and listen on the radio and watch you this weekend. >> bill: here we go, everybody. good morning. the president and his predecessor both under special counsel investigation at the same time. unprecedented moment in american history. the story is moving quickly as you can gauge. better buckle up. good morning, it's friday. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: asme -- i'm dana perino. the attorney general mer i can garland appointed a special counsel to handle president

biden's handling of documents. >> media firestorm, documents linked to the president found at his home in delaware. a story with a lot of moving parts. here is what we believe we know at the moment. >> dana: let's go back. november 2nd is when the president's lawyers find classified documents in a closet at his former office in washington, d.c. alert the national archives and they retrieve them the next day and refer the matter to the department of justice. this is just days before the mid-term elections. the story was kept under wraps. >> bill: on november 14th garland appoints special counsel for trump. the president's lawyers tell him they've found a second set of documents inside the president's garage. >> dana: that seals the deal.

a week later garland appoints a special counsel. >> bill: documents in question were scattered across two locations, the penn biden think-tank in d.c. and president's home in delaware. some in the garage and what he described as his personal library. >> dana: you may remember president biden was extremely critical of former president's trump handling of classified documents. those words coming back to haunt the president and making things awkward for his press office. >> bill: a ton of reaction. we'll hear from mike gallagher. legal analysis from andy mccarthy. let's get to the news and lucas tomlinson is on the north lawn of the white house where we begin. >> good morning, bill and dana. classified material has now been found three times. the latest batch inside of one of president biden's delaware home. we know exactly thanks to pelter doocy. >> classified material next to your corvette? what were you thinking?

>> president biden: my corvette is in a locked garage, okay? not like they are synth on the street. >> the material was in a locked garage. >> president biden: as well as my corvette. >> here is the core vest in one of his campaign ads in 2020. days after the f.b.i. began an investigation into biden's handling of classified material garland announced a special counsel into president trump's handling of classified material. biden's were found two weeks before the attorney general made the announcement launching a special counsel to probe donald trump. garland announced the new probe yesterday afternoon. >> i strongly believe that the normal processes of this department can handle all investigations with integrity. but under the regulations, the extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a special counsel for this matter. >> speaking of that delaware home that's where president biden is heading after he meets the prime minister of japan this afternoon.

>> bill: thanks, more to come from there. lucas tomlinson. thank you. >> dana: who is the special counsel robert her? he went to school at harvard and stanford. in 2018 he was nominated by president trump to be the u.s. attorney in maryland. senate confirmed him and served until 2021. >> bill: let's bring in andy mccarthy to give us the lay of the land. "new york post" cover clever. anybody vet this guy? does this look secure pointing to boxes of some sort in the background. you write this. my question is your words, have we already witnessed a guilty plea? let's start and explain. >> well, what we heard yesterday, bill, was the attorney general laid out the facts of the case as he understands them that drove his decision to appoint a special counsel. so essentially the justice department says there were

classified documents and mishandled and kept in locations that you described which are not authorized locations for classified information which garland underscored. and then very i thought strangely, we got a statement from one of the lawyers that biden has brought into the white house to help him deal with coming investigations. what the lawyer said he was confident and the president was confident that at the conclusion of the investigation what you would find was that these documents were inadvertently misplaced. inadvertently misplaced is not a defense to a charge of mishandling classified information. the standard is whether somebody was grossly negligent. when you get trusted with classified documents and get drilled in how they are supposed to be handled you have a higher obligation to safe keep them. no requirement the government prove you were trying to hurt the united states or selling the country to our enemies.

you simply have to follow the rules of safeguarding and it wasn't done here. a lot of cases people are doing serious sentences for that. >> dana: the justice department prosecuted and convicted a civilian employee at d.o.d. who had some documents during covid at her hotel room she was working on a thesis. she did three months in jail. >> dana, if you listen, i've seen some reporting where they quoted some of the arguments that the prosecutors made in the case. if you lay those out next to what we know about this case, it is already case closed. so i think what's going on here, assuming they aren't just being careless and the lawyer who made that statement is reputed to be a very good lawyer, i have to assume that they are banking on the fact that in every prosecution prosecutors have to decide do i have sufficient evidence and even if i do, the second question is, is the

public interest -- is it in the public interest to bring a prosecution here? is this an appropriate exercise of prosecutorial discretion? i think they will bank on arguing it is not. >> bill: we're out of time and want to make one point. on november 18th merrick garland appointed the special counsel to look into donald trump's documents from mar-a-lago. november 18th when he made that decision he knew biden had a problem, did he not? >> he did. i think he knew biden had a problem going back two years given the other investigation into influence peddling that they call the hunter biden investigation. the importance of it is the trading on joe biden's political influence. yes, he knew at that time that biden had a problem. >> bill: more to come on this. andy mccarthy in chicago today. >> dana: another angle to all of this and china's ties toes penn biden center.

more than 30 million of donations from china poured into that university. much of that money came from anonymous source. republican congressman mike gallagher is chairman of the house china committee. do you have a comment about the china connection here and we'll get to the committee you're chairing in a moment. the china connection or even the fact you have government workers suggested to prosecution for mishandling of classified documents because you sign the form says you'll comply with the law, presumably the commander-in-chief does that as well. >> before i was a congressman, i was a counter intelligence officer and i can tell you this is reckless, dangerous, to quote biden himself irresponsible. the reassurance the president gave that his corvette was locked in the garage merely reveals how little he knows about classified document handling. his corvette could have been parked in a sensitive

compartmented information facility but highly unlikely. we in congress have demanded a battle damage assessment from the director of national intelligence to understand what was in the documents. we need to know that to understand if our national security was compromised. i also think as chairman of the china committee it should be a warning shot to congress. we need to understand we're targets for so-called foreign intelligence security services. we don't get basic counter intelligence training despite every member of congress getting a top secret clearance. we need to be more careful. we need leaders at the top, presidents, vice presidents, to lead by example which clearly biden was not. >> bill: you don't know what this money is for, right, with all these universities. they are looking for influences of some sort, whether trying to gain access to a politician or get a kid into college from overseas. both could be possible and both could be true. looking forward to finding out what you discover with the new china committee you just

mentioned. you had 146 democrats vote with you the other day to establish the committee. this is about as bipartisan washington gets. presley thinks its racist, watch. >> it is really clear that this is just a committee that would further emotion bolden anti-asian rhetoric and hate and put lives at risk. do you think the democrats are wrong in their votes? >> we see it differently. >> bill: i know you see it differently and established it for a reason. what will you accomplish with this committee? kevin mccarthy said he hopes this committee lives for a long time in d.c. is >> >> to respond to her claims we edited the name of the committee calling out the chinese communist party. we want people to understand the distinction between the party and the chinese people. we have no quarrel with the chinese people.

the chinese people are the victims of the regime. we need to draw that distinction at every turn. here in america we have chinese americans subject to a very intense trans national coercion and intimidation campaign. we've seen reporting about effectively chinese police stations on american soil. higher education and we have chinese students targeted. i welcome the democrat participation. we started off on a strong bipartisan footing. we can investigate these in a bipartisan manner. we don't want our universities, the crown jewel of western civilization to be corrupted by foreigners. there are laws disclosure of foreign gifts that they aren't following now. i think democratic colleagues will be interested in that debate. a strong vote to start off the work and i want to best members on both sides of the aisle to work together to defend america and our interests from chinese

communist party aggression. >> dana: a big assignment. thank you for coming to tell us about it. we'll be following the committee's work. >> bill: welcome. >> dana: i'm sure he was grateful for that little moment. >> bill: go back to biden. a long list of questions, right? the penn biden center, the initial reporting from earlier in the week. apparently that office didn't open until february of 2018. so he left office in january of 2017. you got a 13-month period there where you are asking where were these boxes and classified documents, what had them and handled them? who had an opportunity to see them and where were they stored? >> dana: i don't understand also why couldn't the approach have been lawyers told me not to look at the documents. i'm the commander-in-chief and in charge of the national security i looked at the documents and they are whatever. it was wrong, inappropriate, i

should have done better. we have important things to deal with in this country and that's what we'll do. then you drop the prosecution against president trump or the idea of a prosecution against him and everybody can move on. be more responsible with classified documents. >> bill: maybe the speech comes. but not yesterday. fox news weather alert now. seven people are dead after a series of tornado ripped through the southeast. a 5-year-old boy in georgia crushed by a tree that fell on the car he was in. alabama taking the brunt of the storms. powerful twister ripping through selma leaving a day-care center in ruins and trapping babies and children inside. fortunately everyone survived there. a local shiver's department reports four victims were killed by flying debris. survivors beginning to see the scope of the damage left behind with the sun up in the southeast. >> you pick up and do the best you can. i thank the lord was good to me.

give me enough sense to get away from here before it hit. a good chance i would have lost my life. >> bill: storm damage reported in nine states. georgia got hit. a tornado reported at the airport in atlanta. we'll get you up to speed what's happening there. 14 past. dana, what's next? >> dana: news overnight is sad. lisa marie presley has died at the age of 54. two days after her appearance at the golden globes. what we're hearing from her mother, priscilla. >> bill: the suspect in the killings in idaho was back in court. cuts on his face drew attention and we'll tell you why that's the case. >> dana: new details on the disappearance of ana walshe what she told police about her husband eight years before her disappearance.e. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere,

>> dana: tributes are pouring in after the sudden death of lisa marie presley the only child of elvis presley. rushed to the hospital yesterday morning less than 48 hours after attending the golden globes with her mother. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles with this story and an update. >> there has been several stories lately about nepotism in hollywood and the comfortable life of star's sons and daughters. not the case with lisa marie presley. suffered through the suicide of a son, four failed marriages, drug addiction and recording career that never approached that of her father whose life she celebrated sunday at the golden globes and two days before his 88th birthday at grace land. >> can you imagine lisa marie being the daughter, the child of maybe the second most famous man

in the history of the world next to christ himself. >> elvis died when lisa marie was nine but later she sang in due either alongside his old reportings. a housekeeper found presley unconscious. after cpr noted signs of life but later died at a local hospital. presley married early at age 20 and had two children. that relationship ended after six years. 20 days after that she married singer michael jackson again divorced. her next marriage to actor nicholas cage lasted three months. later had twin daughters but that marriage also ended in divorce. friends say her son's suicide at age 27 devastated lisa marie writing in people magazine she said grief does not stop or go away in any sense a year or years after a loss. grief is something you carry the rest of your life. celebrities paid tribute as you mentioned yesterday. singer latoya jackson saying we

miss you. i will never forget how much you love you had for my brother and me. presley is survived by her mother and three children. back to you. >> dana: sad story. may she rest in peace. thank you, william. >> bill: from idaho the quadruple murder suspect making his second court appearance covered with cuts and bruises on face and nick. the sheriff says they came from shaving. bryan kohberger waived his right to a speedy trial. the lawyer told the judge they get ready to challenge the case against him. jonna spilbor is with us. before i get to my questions let's go inside the courtroom yesterday and what a judge charted the next really 5 to 6 months for this case. >> are you waiving your right to a speedy preliminary hearing and agreeing that hearing can be held outside the 14-day period? >> yes. >> do you concur?

>> i do. >> bill: we're not back in court until the end of june. what's the strategy here, jonna? >> that's a fascinating question. i don't think, bill, i've ever seen somebody at this early stage of a process waive that much time. the reason for that is when you have a prosecution that doesn't yet have all the evidence that it needs to get a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt it rarely be hooves the defendant to say take all the time you need. i don't think i've ever seen that happen. i'm thinking what benefit is it to bryan kohberger to waive that much time? the one theory i have, i will have more before the case is over. he might have sat down with his defense counsel and said i don't need a not guilty verdict. i need to be exonerated. the reason is because i'm 28 and when this trial is over if i'm not exonerated, good luck for me

having a life or walking into some corporation and saying i'm bryan kohberger here for the sales position. who will ever hire me? he might be saying i'll spend the next six months of my life behind bars and you pull the evidence you can because i didn't do it. that's my theory today. it could change. >> bill: i thought this was leading to a charging motion, right, designed to enter a plea. he hasn't done that yet. so you come back on the 26th of june. we have the 18-page affidavit that's already out there in public. a lot in there. why not object to a five-month delay? >> see, that's one of the their eaves that i had. why not put the feet to the fire of the prosecution and say give me me present limb now. let's get to trial now. he might be doubling down on his innocence and wants to be exonerated or could be the opposite. maybe they are trying to figure out a way to call a plea deal. this is the type of thing that

would have happened. in bryan kohberger was not arrested when he was, this is the type of investigation that would be going on leading to his arrest. it is a boon for the prosecution in that sense. i'm very curious. maybe we'll figure it out by jun 26. >> bill: he is going for his doctorate in criminology. no request for change of revenue yet. when they come back in court at the end of june, there are five days put aside to present evidence and maybe -- i don't know, do witnesses appear then? i don't know that. that's a mini trial at the end of june, is it not? >> exactly. and that's a good thing for the defense. at a preliminary unlike the grand jury you can present your own witnesses, affirmative defenses and get to know exactly what the evidence is that the prosecution will use against you at trial. it is a great discovery tool for

a defendant. five days seems a little light given the nature of this case. if they get that far, if we actually do have a preliminary it will be a good discovery tool for kohberger's camp. >> bill: he came back from pennsylvania to fight this. that's what i hear today. thank you for coming in. >> dana: new batch of twitter files revealing how top democrats used the platform to spread a false narrative on the trump/russia investigation. the border crisis leaving officials in one texas town overworked and overwhelmed. how the biden administration is ignoring pleas for help. a new survey shows a record number of democrats now identify as liberal. what's behind the leftward shift? veteran homeowners: what if you could save a lot of money every month by paying off your car loan and paying off your high rate credit card debt?

>> dana: first responders in cities along the border say they're overwhelmed like these firefighters in eagle pass, texas who fought a brush fire while co-workers helped a migrant woman in labor nearby. griff jenkins is in eagle pass. >> good morning. hard to overstate just how overwhelmed these small border communities are in the eagle pass fire department used to get 17, 18 calls a day on average. now they get more than 40 every single day. while that fire was being battled, we can show you some video here. a migrant woman had recently crossed on a ranch and went into labor. they got that call while their firefighters were battling that fire. this is the same fire department a day earlier that had to respond to the rail yard where we report evidence about -- report evidence nine migrants trapped in a rail car. assistant fire chief here had

this to say. >> it delays services. i can't say that it is all the time, but there are peak hours and times where all of our ambulances are out and we have one hospital. so it's a domino effect. >> meanwhile the police department also taxed just equally. the chief here says he has seen an increase in criminal migrants. he had a hostage situation recent lip and seeing a surge in fentanyl and narcotics coming over and blames the administration for neglecting their federal duty. >> it's additional work that we are doing for our borders being open the way they are. and i would wish there would be a stop to it. it don't seem that way. i think lights are out in washington and something needs to be done.

>> putting it into perspective the population in eagle pass, dana, 29,000. but in the first 100 days of this fiscal year they have had more than 150 migrant encounters in the del rio sector alone and why they are so overwhelmed. the mexican authorities not far from where we're standing yesterday afternoon rescued three young salvador girls under the age of ten abandoned by smugglers. >> dana: we'll be thinking of them and the first responders who are doing a lot of the big work we need them to do. thank you, griff. appreciate it. >> it's going to be impossible to defend storing classified documents with your corvette. that is something that doesn't really meet any standards for classified information protocols. even though it's a really hot car. >> bill: might not have expected that commentary. white house playing defense as the nfl postseason kicks off in

the playoffs. special counsel's probe biden gearing up for potential re-election bid. james freeman, good morning. want to get to the presidential records act. you have been doing a deep dive. back to january of 2017. biden/obama packing up in the white house. biden overseas in ukraine. obama is in gone. packing up his boxes and moving them out. with barack obama you have what is called the presidential records act. you have laws that govern what he can and cannot do. what applies to a vice president? >> well, the key is that he does not have the privileges of a president. whether you are talking about donald trump leaving in early 2021 or barack obama leaving in 2017, the presidential records act gives those presidents as

they are leaving broad powers, privileges. before the 70s for most of our history the president's documents were considered his personal property. even after those watergate reforms the president, former president has a lot of power to hold onto documents, to have access to them, etc. you also have while they were president the constitution, the commander-in-chief. that's where all the president's powers for national security documents lie. they all belong to the president. none of them belongs to the vice president. so if we have any disagreements about this case versus that case, the big difference is trump or obama, if there is question about his handling were president. joe biden was not. >> dana: you remember the staged photo of the f.b.i. and here is evidence that we have. we can leave it up to your

imagination. what does the box next to the corvette look like? was anybody taking pictures of this evidence? >> the justifications are damning when you look at the current case. where is the f.b.i. raid for biden are jokes on the internet but they're totally legitimate. the affidavit the f.b.i. used when they said they had to do the big raid on trump was he had given some documents back but they had reasonable suspicion that he had not returned all the classified information or there was classified information not returned. as we've just discussed, trump as a former president has a case that he didn't have to return stuff. that would be fought out in court. when you look at the biden timeline. the f.b.i. is told in early november oh, there were classified documents at his office. and then again they are told in december oh, turns out there was some stuff near the corvette. at what point did they not have cause under their standard to

say we can't just have biden aides wondering around checking the house, we need to f.b.i. to secure the properties. >> bill: the irony of the corvette he made a political ad for it and it is on video. briefing at the white house at 12:30. right now that's on the schedule. this is how they handled it yesterday in the briefing room. >> what is the white house trying to hide? >> nothing. >> someone gave the president a statement to read on tuesday that was incomplete at best, misleading at worst. >> i won't get ahead of what the department of justice is going to decide. the president said he takes classified documents and information very seriously. >> does the white house think the appointment of a special prosecutor was warranted? >> i won't get into the decisions that were miffed by the attorney general. >> bill: that used to be your juvenility >> dana: i know. i feel for her in a way.

>> bill: she is punting on everything and now she can punt because of the special counsel. last word. >> i think the president is not going to be able to continue to get away with this distance from the event. he didn't know. not sure what was in the boxes. his office, his house, his garage. >> dana: his responsibility. >> yes. >> bill: his corvette. >> yes. >> bill: james freeman back to writing "wall street journal." appreciate it. >> dana: the latest batch of the twitter files has dropped and you won't believe it. journalist taibbi unveiling the fourth installment reveal how twitter executive warned top democrats on a false narrative using the bogus claim of russian bots to disrecord a report by nunes. twitter officials found no evidence of russian evidence. not any significant activity with russia.

putting the cart before the horse assuming it is propaganda bots and also this. executives grew frustrated what they saw as a circular process presented with claims of russian activity even when denied led to more claims. >> bill: interesting. i saw this last night. taibbi was on tucker carlson and the end of this interview was extraordinary. tucker asked him if he reached out to these media organizations. he said i reached out to all of them. no one seemed interested suggesting that no one returned his email or phone call or texts or however he chose. >> dana: are no reporters mad they were covering a false narrative? >> our curious? deadly storms in the deep south leaving a trail of destruction. we're live in one of the hardest hit areas. you have eggs? you got money. it will cost you a pretty penny. prices for the kitchen staple going sky high.

>> bill: back to this weather from overnight. seven people died. violent storms sweeping across the southeast primarily alabama. the governor declaring a state of emergency in six counties including selma which took a direct hit from one tornado. storm damage reported in georgia, daylight revealing toppled trees and collapsed roofs from a powerful twister in griffin, georgia. steve harrigan will give us what is left now. hello. >> good morning, bill. we see destroyed and damaged buildings really in every direction down caroline street lights not working as cleanup is just beginning. states of emergency declared in parts of georgia as well as alabama. you mentioned selma hit hard. one tornado there on the ground

for 20 miles. that was powerful enough to flip cars, uproot oak trees and knock down brick buildings. here is what one resident said. >> it went from very calm and quiet to chaos very quickly. where i was, downtown two blocks from the first damage. we got heavy winds. we knew a tornado was on the ground but trying to get to an outside shelter. the wind was blowing too hard to open the door. >> terrifying afternoon and night for many people. death toll now stands at seven and could go up as more bodies are found. much of those dead around montgomery, alabama in rural areas, killed by trees falling on mobile homes. some rescued and had to cut through the trees to get to them. 12 hospitalized. at its peak 150,000 people without power. the number is dropping quickly with crews out now. >> bill: thanks on the ground 40 miles south of atlanta in griffin, georgia.

thank you, steve. >> dana: you already know food prices are skyrocketing. nothing is getting more expensive than a staple in your kitchen eggs, egg prices surging 60% last month from the same time a year ago putting a squeeze on restaurants and cafes. joining us now is joe, owner of new york bagel cafe located in ac actual -- tulsa. >> eggs are one of our main profit centers since day one. when we opened they were 7 or $0 $0 $0.08 approaching $0.40 a piece. >> dana: have you had to raise prices? >> we have but not as high as

we've had to. over the past year and a half, two years i made capital improvements on the building with new, efficient equipment and we are being more efficient with how we run our business so we can absorb some of that cost. >> dana: one of the things is an avian flu that's a huge problem. our friend talked to some farmers doing what they can to save the birds and figure how to make -- provide more supply. do you have any indication as you forecast ahead for your business if things might get better in this regard? >> i'm sure they will get better. it will take a little bit of time. they always do so -- >> dana: what about other products? are you seeing other sort of -- we have the cost of eggs but other things we could put up on the screen that people are dealing with. you get dairy products, that's up 15%. lettuce 24%, butter 35%. >> yeah.
