7:00 am
did 2 or 3 decades ago. even people with bad intentions can get very educated very quickly. you see this as a nationwide issue now. we have issues all over the nation, not just north carolina. but we have to take a stronghold on securing our energy sources and grids. it seems this is becoming a common occurrence. >> dana: representative, thank you for coming on today and we'll follow it. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: taylor swift fans are out in full force, bill on capitol hill. they want accountability for the concert sale disaster that left millions without tickets. lawmakers hoping to get them answers this hour. i know you're covering that. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning to you. i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. at the moment the president of ticketmaster's parents company about to testify before the
7:01 am
senate judiciary committee pressed not only on the failed taylor swift sale and whether his company is now a monopoly in the concert business. >> it is not just about taylor swift. there is something going on. it is about prices, hidden fees that are way too high. site disruptions. >> dana: chad pergram has more from capitol hill. i have a few friends trying to get tickets for their daughters and their daughters are constantly asking them did we get tickets yet? the answer is no. what could they find out today? >> fans of taylor swift and ticketmaster are never, ever, ever getting back together after the debacle involving the singer's concert series last year. senate committee is probing antitrust issues for live music events. >> it should surprise no one that the taylor swift concert pre-sales failed in this way.
7:02 am
in fact, what we need is now enforcement of laws and conditions that were envisioned at the time live nation and ticketmaster merged. >> website meltdown during a pre-sale for swift's upcoming tour shined a light on ticketmaster and also faced criticism for high fees and poor service. >> our antitrust agencies can't take on the increasing consolidation in our economy whether it is grocery stores or ticketmaster. skw the taylor swift fans, or with just band-aids and duct tape. >> the ticket sale issue was a big problem caused by massive demand. there was a staggering 3.5 billion system requests. even the white house has concerns about fair practices in the marketplace. >> a matter of economic policy
7:03 am
across industries. the president has been very clear, crystal clear on this and i quote capitalism without competition isn't capitalism, it is exploitation. >> disputes between entertainers and ticketmaster date back to 1992 when pearl jam had a beef with ticketmaster over service fees. now the problem is that fans of taylor swift can't shake it off. they plan a rally on capitol hill. >> dana: very, very well done with the lyrics included. appreciate it. thank you. >> bill: now we know his spotify list. the a.g. merrick garland is pushing back on the handling of class 2350id documents. >> the department has a set of forms and practices. other things we don't have different rules or democrats or republicans or different rules for the powerful and powerless, for the rich or poor.
7:04 am
>> bill: george washington university law professor jonathan turley is with us today. first the news david spunt live with more now. hello to you. >> good morning. when attorney general garland took the oath of office in march 2021, he probably didn't know he would open two special counsel investigations into two presidents. the current, his boss, and the former, donald trump. despite being nominated and repeatedly praised by president biden, garland has remained unphased when it comes to increasing critical pressure. he speaks in a mild mannered tone and was asked specifically by our producer yesterday if he had regrets appointing two special counsels to investigate two presidents and exactly what this does to the country. listen. >> the justice department applies the facts and law in each case and reach appropriate decisions without regard to the who the subjects are.
7:05 am
>> that's the attorney general after the f.b.i. searched a sitting president's private home last friday for almost 13 hours. there are reports top staff in the west wing are furious with the attorney general for appointing a biden special counsel in the first place. you won't hear that on the record. officials insist they respect the process and understand how it works. if there is anger or frustration with attorney general garland a source close to him says he remains unphased and continues to do the job of attorney general. he may want to stay out of the political fray. it is becoming increasingly hard as this one-time supreme court nominee is finding himself with two presidents under federal investigation two years before a presidential election where both are expected at this point to face off, bill. >> bill: thanks, david spunt, nice to see you. >> dana: let's bring in jonathan turley law professor at george washington university. jonathan, i listened to "the new york times" daily podcast this
7:06 am
morning on this topic. let's show everybody the timeline to remind everyone how long it has been going on. the podcast says remember november 2nd they first find these documents. there are all sorts of questions. why were they closing up the office? who was closing up the office? why were the lawyers doing it? what classification were the documents? the miscalculation started which is that they thought they could just muscle their way through this all the way to january 20th and six more items then found after the search in wilmington. the miscalculations coming back to bite them do you think, jonathan? >> well, the thing that really, i think, has derailed the white house is that they latched onto this inadvertent defense and said the president was surprised by all of these documents. that has really collapsed fairly quickly. the reason is these documents eventually were divided and distributed to different points.
7:07 am
some were removed from other piles. there was one document found in the library. that suggests a purpose and they were being used for something. i tell my students all the time, the one thing you don't want to do in a trial is insult a jurey's intelligence. the white house has crossed that line. i think a lot of citizens are using the president's tag line of come on, man. at what point do you think we're going to balk at this idea you spent the last 14 years in a series of inadvertent classified document possessions? >> bill: kellyanne conway was on fox business. she phrased it a similar way and some of his documents were from his time in the u.s. senate. her point. >> i think everybody should be disturbed by a couple facts. one, these papers were from his time in the senate.
7:08 am
not his vice president. he left the senate in 2008 when they won the president in 2009. it is 2023. these documents have been moved a few times. they admit culpability. this is hurting him politically because they just aren't telling the truth. >> bill: peter doocy asked whether the president was involved in a cover-up. can you address that at this early stage in the story? >> well, i don't know if i would call it a cover-up or whether it is a colossal mishandling of a scandal. what i think is clear is that you have gross mishandling that has been established over and over again. that point, i think, is beyond debate. the question is who is responsible. but this idea the president has no regrets and no memory of any classified documents is becoming increasingly unbelievable. and the fact that they aren't answering questions is only
7:09 am
going to deepen that distrust. keep in mind that even though two special counsels have been appointed, both of these investigations end up back in front of attorney general garland. he is part of that final decision. and it may have gotten to the point the biden documents are becoming so serious that he could view these two cases as equally serious. different but serious. it may give him an exit ramp. because the department of justice maintains it cannot indict a sitting president, one option is to say this is not a perfect world but we don't want to go forward with the trump prosecution if we can't go forward with the biden prosecution. whatever the decision may be, he is heading to a most unpleasant spot and a very difficult choice to make. >> dana: what a thing, we'll continue as karl said earlier we're just at the beginning of the story. thanks, jonathan. i thought marc thiessen made a
7:10 am
good point. if you work in the senate office and have classified clearance there is for some classified documents if you aren't having to view them in a scif. if it's not top secret you can put them in a safe in your office. you still aren't supposed to take them out of the building. one of the things we don't have an answer to is what were the classifications of the documents that were taken from the penn biden center, the house in wilmington, and now also the u.s. senate office. we don't know. >> bill: joe manchin said admit that you were irresponsible. >> dana: that's what i was getting to the miscalculation. if they had done that initially would they have it behind them. now it looks like a cover-up. >> bill: i would just add if the intelligence on the documents is old news, then it's easy to say i was irresponsible and i'm sorry and i was wrong. if there is something on there that's relevant to what is
7:11 am
happening today, a whole different story. >> dana: including if it has anything to do with the hunter biden investigation. we don't know. they haven't told us. >> bill: 11 past. the mother of ana walshe reaching out to authorities about her daughter's disappearance and speaking out against her son-in-law. what she wants today. >> dana: he led the russia investigation and now a former f.b.i. official is in his own legal hot water. he is under arrest. we have details next. >> he had a long, distinguished career with the f.b.i. and served the united states for decades. this is obviously a distracting day for he and his family.

>> bill: here is a story filled with intrigue. a former f.b.i. agent who played a role in the trump/russia gate probe has been arrested over alleged ties to a russian oligarch. charles mcgonegal is accused of taking secret payments in exchange for political favors including an investigation of a rival oligarch. the "new york post" said you won't believe this. we won't. rich edson is live with the details in washington, d.c. tie the string together, rich, good luck. hello. >> good morning. he oversaw some of the most sensitive counter intelligence work at the f.b.i.'s new york office and now accused of helping a russian oligarch violating u.s. sanctions. charles mcgonegal is the former special agent in charge of counter intelligence at the f.b.i. in new york. prosecutors say he allegedly asked for and received $225,000 to work for a kremlin-connected
7:18 am
businessman. prosecutors say on the man's behalf he agreed to investigate a rival oligarch and tried to get the other one off the u.s. sanctions list. chris wray says the way we maintain the trust and confidence of the american people is through our work. showing when all the facts come out that we stuck to the process and we treated everyone equally, even when it is one of our own. the indictment says mcgonegal began his work in august of 2017 and continued it after he retired from the f.b.i. the following year. the russian businessman the u.s. treasury department sanctioned in 2018 accused him of ties to the kremlin, extortion, money laundering, racketeering and ordering the murder of a businessman. he was a client of paul manafort. donald trump's campaign chairman for several months in 2016. man fort was convicted of financial crimes.
7:19 am
before moving to the f.b.i. office in october of 2016 mcgonegal was a senior counter intelligence official in washington and likely would have at least been briefed on crossfire hurricane, the trump/russia investigation that began the previous july. his attorney says his client pled not guilty yesterday. >> bill: what a twist. >> dana: the mother of missing massachusetts woman ana walshe reaching out from serbia now asking the u.s. for official information about her daughter's disappearance. brian walshe has been charged with the murder but ana's mom doesn't believe her son-in-law would hurt her daughter. joining us in criminal defense attorney holloway and former assistant district attorney. we have a timeline to show everybody. call for number one. disappearance of her on january 1st, on january 8th the husband is arrested and then
7:20 am
charged with ana's murder. that all happened and now you have the mom reaching out. what do you think is her state of mind? >> good morning, dana. great to be with you again. listen, she is obviously in my view working her way through the stages of grief. one of those stages as we know is denial. she is probably somewhat in denial that her son-in-law could have done this. a lot of times surviving family members will see the in this case like the-in-law, that will be her last connection to her loved one, to her child. so that is the last person she is going to believe could be involved with this. but i do think that as time goes by, she will get access to a lot of the case evidence that prosecutors have. she will digest this information and i think given time she probably will come to understand what happened to her child. the massachusetts has the crime victims bill of rights. under that law they are obligated as a matter of law to
7:21 am
keep her informed of everything that is going on in the case and that can include access to case evidence, dana. >> dana: i wanted to ask you this. i asked bill this in the commercial break and ask it on air. call for number two shows brian walshe's google searches. how long before a body starts to smell, can you be charged with murder without a body, can you identify a body with broken teeth? is there any way in your mind, phil, that he might have been set up by somebody else? >> i don't think so because these searches as we know were done from his child's ipad. that is very unlikely. what's more likely there was some kind of argument. altercation that turned deadly and then after the fact i think he panicked and wanted to search to see what he could do to try to get himself out of this mess he created. these google searches i think show someone who is cold, calculating, and who has this
7:22 am
malice that shows the picture of abandon and malignant heart. >> dana: i want to ask you about another story. this case goes back a little way in bowling green, university. there was a hazing incident that has terrible and we've covered it here. now there has been settlement between the university and the student's family. this resolution keeps the family and bowling green university from reliving the tragedy for years in come in the courtroom and focus on furthering the shared mission of eradicating hazing in ohio and across the nation. it's the real work that honors stone. they hope that this will help prevent hazing in the future from other people. >> hazing is a problem at colleges and universities and even high schools unfortunately across america. kids are losing their lives over this as we see. this $2.9 million i think is one
7:23 am
of the highest, if not the largest settlement in a case like this. it is designed not only to punish the university for failure to exercise due care to prevent the foreseeable harm that happened but it is designed to send a message to other entities like other schools and colleges that look, you must supervise these organizations because as a matter of society, we cannot and will not tolerate hazing because it kills our young people. that is just how bad it is in the united states and i think this is appropriate. i think that other universities and colleges will be paying attention and might just go ahead and take steps to make this not socially acceptable the way it is on campuses these days. >> dana: i want to show everybody here these are hazing death headlines. as you point out it happens every year. here is the "new york times" story covering it, richmond
7:24 am
times dispost and a story out of michigan. we see and hope that something like this can help a university take proactive action before something like this happens again. bill holloway, thank you for joining us today. >> great to be with you. >> bill: new warning about deadly fentanyl as deaths among children under 14 rise faster than any other age group. man. plus rich kids from out of town arrested during the anti-police riot in atlanta over the weekend. now they are facing domestic terrorism charges. we'll talk to one of the men in georgia, the attorney general, about where this case goes next. >> this is what happens when you take these type of kids and then you tell them that there is such a thing as good trouble that they can get into. ads with a catchy song. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's a little number you'll never forget. ♪customize and save♪ only pay for what you need. ♪liberty liberty liberty♪

7:30 am
life in her. that i knew nothing about. i didn't know how serious fentanyl was. >> the stories never end. the tragic death of that woman's granddaughter one in the growing number of tragic fentanyl deaths among u.s. children. a new study finding a child fentanyl deaths are rising faster than any other age group. bryan llenas joins us from our newsroom. >> the victims of poisoning are tragically becoming younger and youngerier a 17-month-old was full of life and sassy. her grandmother said the toddler put tin foil in her mouth laced with fentanyl while visiting her parents. >> the paramedics were getting her to breathe and my grandson was standing there screaming.
7:31 am
my heart just dropped as i watched them work on my granddaughter. they kept telling me the narcan is working. and i'm like narcan, what do you mean? she got drugs? i kept telling them can't you keep giving her the narcan? please, just save my baby. >> luca manuel was 13 years old when he died from fentanyl poisoning in 2020. his mother describes him as a overall spirit and kind. she says luca got a counterfeit percocet from a dealer on snapchat. >> i knew that if it happened to me it could happen to anyone. i was a fantastic mom and my son was a really great kid. so had i known about fentanyl, and known about fentanyl, i encourage you to have open and
7:32 am
honest conversations with your children. >> according to an analysis from the families against fentanyl. deaths among children age 14 and under are 15 times higher than they were in 2015. in just the last two years, fentanyl deaths quadrupled among infants and children 5-14. families against fentanyl is calling for president biden to establish a task force dedicated to the fentanyl crisis and designate it as a weapons of mass destruction. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: fentanyl overdoses have morgues in the seattle area running out of space. the king county health director looking into options like funeral homes to expand space for dead bodies. data show there are 173 fentanyl overdoses in 2020 last year and the number increased to 685. >> bill: tough to listen to that
7:33 am
woman. the amount of guilt she lives with. tough stuff. we'll see. >> dana: a lot of grief across the country. >> bill: meanwhile masked activists dressed in black throwing rocks, smashing windows during an anti-police protest saturday in atlanta. six arrests now facing multiple charges including domestic tris null. it is common for the group antifa to recruit activists from across the country and come together to unleash chaos. >> people who do this by and large come from these loosely organized radical groups and they can travel throughout the country. their goal is mayhem and they see a problem and issue and they'll latch onto it and try to exacerbate the situation. that's what we see now. >> bill: ray kelly knows. so does the georgia attorney general. thank you for coming back to our program and good morning to you. you say you are taking the lead
7:34 am
on this matter. where does it go? >> yeah, that's right, bill. we're taking the lead from a prosecution standpoint and working with law enforcement, state and local. great georgia bureau of investigation, state patrol and local law enforcement in atlanta and decab and working with the d.a.'s office. this is inexcusable and has to stop. peaceful protestors used word, not a.r.15s or throw molotov cocktails at firefighters and don't spike trees. that's an act of violence and a crime. that's why they've been charged as such including with domestic terrorism. >> bill: 13 have been arrested so far. only one of the 13 is from the state of georgia. obviously these are imports. >> absolutely. and let me be clear, bill.
7:35 am
we are not oregon or california. we are not washington. you cannot come to our state, break our laws, throw rocks through buildings, damage property and shoot police officers. you can and you will be charged and that's exactly what we're doing. >> bill: do you follow andy no. he writes about this stuff every day. "new york post" spoiled children of privilege trying to burn atlanta down. the graph. they present themselves as rebels against the system fighting to preserve a piece of local woodland. many arrested and charged with occupying government property and the violent attack in downtown atlanta saturday are children of pampered privilege from out of state. what do you make of that? >> they are. again, the folks that have engaged in the violence have said the community is opposed to it. i disagree. the community has asked for better trained police officers.
7:36 am
the city of atlanta right now is training in an old el men tre school that leaks when it rains and you can't drink the water. we know a better trained police force is not just a safer police officer bust a safer community. if the community, the georgia and atlanta-based community were so opposed to it why are we arresting people from around the country? again, as you said, the vast majority of these folks are coming from out of state. i want to be crystal clear. you will not come to the state of georgia and engage in this kind of activity and not be held accountable. >> bill: like you said you aren't portland or seattle. see what comes next on this. hope you come back, we're watching the story from new york. thank you for your time in atlanta. >> thanks, bill. >> dana: exclusive new information just now on the murder of microsoft executive jared bridegan. we talked to joe concha --
7:37 am
>> i don't know who is the columnist and who is the reporter. by the time i speak at a press conference and i read the story, i say were we at the same press conference? we all need cash in the bank to stay ahead. well here's great news for veterans who own a home. home values have climbed to near all-time highs, too. that means the cash you need is right there in your home. newday can unlock it with the newday 100 va cash out loan. it lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. not just part of it like some other loans. pay down high-rate credit card debt, consolidate your second mortgage and car loans, and have the security of cash in the bank. the va has granted newday automatic authority. when banks so “no” to a veteran, newday can say “yes.”
7:39 am
7:40 am
7:42 am
>> no, i don't. i think we'll find something. somebody out there knows something. someone knows that person. >> dana: this is the widow of a murdered microsoft executive pleading for the public's help in bringing the killer to justice. now fox news digital learned investigators say an arrest is imminent in the unsolved murder case. senior national correspondent william la jeunesse is live in los angeles with more. hi, william. >> police believe this man was targeted because of how the murder happened and now the question is who wanted him dead
7:43 am
and why? about a year ago near jacksonville 33-year-old jared bridegan was driving home when someone placed a tire in the middle of a narrow road. when he got out he was shot multiple times at close range. why? his job as microsoft or his personal life? he was in a custody battle with his ex, shanna who admitted asking a tattoo artist if he knew anyone who would shut up her exhusband. she denied having any development in his death. police are he leased video of a blue ford pickup spotted by security cameras at the time. $55,000 reward out there. police sources say it could come as early as tomorrow. >> i have a lot of faith in the detectives working this. it is frustrating that things take time, that this is not a tv
7:44 am
show. things don't get involved in 60 minutes. >> bridegan remarried and his new wife has given numerous interviews saying she hopes to keep the case in front of the public. she is upset because the first wife is now moved to washington state separating her children from their stepbrother and sister. back to you. >> dana: thank you for the update, william. >> bill: the white house press secretary facing criticism from all corners including reporters. for her handling of the biden document scandal. stonewalling reporters about when the documents were found and wrongly saying the search was completed when it turned out it wasn't. maybe she knew or did not know that answer at the time. however, lots of tense moments like this one with peter doocy just from this week. >> when you found out that the f.b.i. had located even more classified materials in wilmington, which four letter
7:45 am
word did you use? >> here to break it all down columnist for the hill joe concha. he got her to life, right? >> yeah. on a week where she wasn't laughing very much, right? it was an onslaught of tough pointed questions which is something outside of peat he shall doocy or jacque heinrich this press secretary wasn't used to. it may get easier for her now probably because maybe some reporters may be frustrated from the lack of transparency from the white house or the spokesperson for the white house counsel's office will be entering the stage. now he will be tasked with taking in most of the incoming. how "politico" describes what he will take on. it's been the president's self-inflicted political trauma that pushed sams into the role of sacrificial lamb. so perhaps some of the pressure will be taken off karine
7:46 am
jean-pierre in what is a communications catastrophe at this point. did ron klain, her boss the chief of staff, keep her in the loop as far as what the white house knew or didn't. she was either lying or simply did not know. we'll never know the answer to that question. >> dana: i think we do know. i think it's clear she wasn't told because had they been told she wouldn't have been able to stand up there and say that. i think the lawyers thought they were very clever saying we'll handle it on our own and work it out with d.o.j. in a way to keep it under wraps and maybe no one will ever know. it all backfired. what hasn't happened yet, joe, is somebody like ron klain stepping up and saying i should have done better by her. she deserved better, it's my fault. do not blame her and that way she can move on to do other things and refer questions to
7:47 am
the counsel's spokesman. >> as a former press secretary we should respect that opinion. ron klain won't be stepping up to any microphones any time soon. he is the outgoing chief of staff. all that said, it is time to retire the defense used by karine jean-pierre when she said dozens of times that the president takes classified documents very seriously. you can't keep saying that on a loop while the thing called reality shows the complete opposite with new revelations coming out every ten minutes keep happening. find another line, please. it is not working. >> bill: from a foxnews.com piece saying fox news's dew point slammed the white house for allowing the press second to twist in the wind. >> dana: i said that on fifsh fifsh. >> bill: the mayor of new york city says he can't get a fair
7:48 am
shake. here it is, the need for him to adopt a different communication style. watch. >> you can report a distorted version of what i say. i want to speak directly to the people of this city and hear directly from the person they elected. that's the purpose so we can communicate, give them accurate information. i'm not at your mercy. if colgate was at the mercy of the tabloids they would go out of business. so i am the colgate. i can't go out of business. >> bill: you are still the mayor of new york city. i have reached out to him directly. he can come join dana and me in studio. we would love to have a sustained conversation about the issues facing new york, the city, it's people and where we go forward. his point, however, is that he thinks his message is not being carried accurately. does he have a point on that, joe? >> sounds a lot like a former
7:49 am
president. the 45th president who wanted to go by the media and have no filter and go directly through twitter. he will do this through a newsletter, bill and dana. the problem is i hope he spends $75,000 on taxpayer money on the newsletter to turn around as what he says the -- major crimes are up 22% compared to 2021. police are resigning if record numbers. close to 4,000 last year alone and not retiring. many are going to smaller towns outside the city that offer higher pay. forget the money. maybe arresting the same criminals and only to see them in the street day after day won't add to morale. a max exodus out of new york. living in a place more dangerous and more expensive makes florida, texas or north carolina or south carolina or tennessee more appealing.
7:50 am
