>> not much. >> one of them is. the other is not. >> attention birds, look out, you will die. >> they kill eagles. >> eagles stay away. you heard me the first time. >> rachel, thank you for joining us today and don't be afraid to run to the radio. great roster of guests including martha maccallum who i will meet for the first time. [gunshots] >> bill: knows are scenes from a war use south of our border. cartel violence threatening to spill that our country from mexico and the president is doing nothing to stop it. where we begin today midweek.

i'm bill hemmer. hello at home. >> dana: i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." mike pompeo has a new book out and did interview saying the next 9/11 could come from mexico. there are so many places not controlled by the government but from the cartels like the taliban was to the afghanistan government. house republicans are holding a news conference yesterday. they said there is a war on our southern border and the cartels are winning. >> bill: the men you see on the right side of the screen are part of a cartel. one of the leading importers of fentanyl into the u.s. >> dana: fentanyl overdoses responsible for tens of thousands of death every year and the crisis is getting worse and republicans say the white house is turning a blind eye to it. >> actually refuse to take any action to meaningfully secure our southern border to stop the surge of illegal immigration and to take on the cartels who are making billions and billions of dollars off of people and the fentanyl and meth that is coming into our country.

>> nowhere in the six pillars agreement between president biden and the president of mexico is the word fentanyl mentioned by name. how many more americans have to die before this administration wakes up? how many more parents have to lose their children? >> it's a lie when the administration officials claim they have operational control of our southern border. mexican drug cartels have control of the border. >> there are 200 a day dying right here in this country because of the fentanyl crisis. >> bill: where does it end? matt finn begins our coverage live in eagle pass on this critical story today. matt. >> good morning, bill. here at the southern border we're consistently on a daily basis reporting on the major fentanyl busts in arizona, new mexico and here in texas. now these republican leaders are slamming the president saying on his visit to the southern border in meetings with the mexican

president he did not focus on the mexican cartels and also on fentanyl which is killing 70,000 americans every year. >> earlier this month we know president biden met with the president of mexico and it was an opportunity for them to finally reverse course on the terrible policies at our southern border and do something to address this humanitarian and security crisis. but what commitments did they publish immediately following that meeting? topping the list diversity, equity and inclusion. climate change, and integrating gender perspective into disaster response. >> nowhere in the six pillars agreement between president biden and the president of mexico is the word fentanyl mentioned by name. >> and here at the border texas dps and border patrol consistently arresting human smugglers sometimes carrying up to ten or more illegal migrants

in their cars. fox news obtained this area night vision video showing a human smuggler being busted and 15 illegal immigrants were arrested and something we see on our ride alongs on a daily basis at the southern border. dana and bill. >> bill: matt finn in eagle pass, texas, thank you. >> dana: we have a good news story today. a victory for an american-trained afghan soldier held at the border. officials dropped the criminal charges. he traveled thousands of miles to escape the taliban and held in u.s. custody since september after trying to enter the country to request asylum. we've been following the story and lucas tomlinson has a latest details. last week congresswoman lee asked the president to drop the charges. >> that's right. the president listened.

incredible news for an elite afghan commando. we've been covering the story on fox news for months and garnered attention nationwide. abdul is a u.s. trained afghan special forces officer who made a dangerous journey to the united states to seek asylum after august of 2021 that left him behind and stranded. he moved from safe house to safe house thanks of american veterans. after his journey through ten countries he arrived at the u.s./mexico border on september 30th. was immediately thrown into a texas jail and faced deportation back to taliban-controlled afghanistan where he is wanted. while he sat in prison, other migrants from south america were allowed to walk into the u.s. with no problem. he will be free after all federal charges were dropped. many people are thankful and

they convinced department of administration to reserves course. jennifer griffin and lawmakers on capitol hill wrote to president biden asking him to reverse course. many veterans of the war in afghanistan past and present also put pressure on the administration. he will arrive in houston a free man on friday and there is a lot to celebrate. >> dana: a lot of people worked on that. thank you so much. what's interesting also on this is that when he crossed illegally, he was with about 90 other people who were trying to cross. every one of them was let go into the united states except for him. and he served our special forces. >> it has been rectified. his brother was making the case on air about a week ago. >> he was to provide intelligence, save his colleagues' lives and american

special forces lives by providing accurate and on-time intelligence so that the operation is conducted successfully and they come back successfully. it takes a lot. >> bill: it sure takes a lot of attention to get the attention of folks in washington to make sure they rectify the situation. one last thing. we don't know to date how many people on the terror watch list crossed the border. pompeo said the next 9/11 could come across the southern border. right now we don't have legitimate numbers to know. that's no good. >> dana: outrageous. >> bill: the right was corrected there on that gentleman's case. what happens here? classified document found in the home of a third presidential frontrunner. former vice president mike pence revealing sensitive materials were at his house in indianapolis discovered a week ago and handed over to the d.o.j.

all this adding to the document drama ensnaring president biden and former president trump and begs the question, how did these top secret materials find their way out of the white house and into the private homes in florida and delaware and now indiana? meanwhile lawmakers rushing to pence's defense saying it is a reoccurring problem within the executive branch. >> the first thing he did was called and comer on the oversight saying i want to make sure this never happens again. >> there is a systemic problem with former occupants of the presidency and vice presidentsy having classified information at their homes when it shouldn't be there or at their libraries or their university repositories. >> i have never met a man in politics with more integrity than mike pence. different how joe biden has been

handling his situation. >> bill: want to bring in andy mccarthy. we rely on you a lot lately. thanks for coming back. everybody does it, question mark. classified files found in pence's home marking the latest twist in the saga. i don't know if it's apples to apples or oranges to tang renes. you say when the biden documents were found in early november they didn't self-report. they reported to the white house. how is this with pence today? >> they reported -- pence reported to the national archives but it is interesting, bill, the national archives handled it differently this time. the last time they picked up the document and it was only when the inspector general at the national archives realized what was going on it got referred to the justice department. this time when pence reported to the national archives they immediately sent f.b.i. agents to pence's home to claim the document. then i think there were other materials that were not

classified that were driven from indiana to washington. so it was handled differently but the same problem. >> dana: media is trying to find these similarities as well. call for number four and show you a taste of that. >> it appears that former vice president pence and president biden handled the scenarios the same as one another. >> we went through this with biden. he said he was surprised. i think it's clear former vice president pence was surprised as well. >> you treat the situation the same. what everyone says is clear. based on what we know so far pence and biden are in a more similar situation. >> dana: some of the media's take. what about the attorney general's take as he looks across all these three different scenarios? >> well, i think a couple of things, dana. one the messaging you're hearing is part of the plan, i think, to shift the consideration of trump's case to obstruction of the grand jury rather than just

the retention of the documents because that's the thing that is different about the trump situation than these other situations. i think you'll hear a lot of rhetoric about obstructing the grand jury and not so much about why are these officials retaining the classified document. the other thing is all this about should there now be a special counsel for pence? there shouldn't have been a special counsel for trump. the problem here is not the special counsel rules, the problem is garland politicized the special counsel designation for trump. there was no reason the justice department couldn't continue investigating trump. the only time you need a special counsel is when you have a conflict of interest. when the biden justice department has to look at the biden administration. with respect to trump in terms of 2024 biden doesn't want to be seen as being involved in the investigation and prosecution of

trump. what garland did was appoint a special counsel not because law enforcement or regulations required it but create the illusion of distance between garland and biden on the one hand and the trump investigation. now having done that, for consistency sake people are saying now you have to have one for pence. i think we ought to take the position that having made the first mistake of appointing one for trump doesn't oblige him to make the next one. they should proceed as a justice department. >> bill: you know, when we get around to it two years from now all these answers from the special prosecutors will be very interesting. how are they going to discern one case from another? mike pence classified document. will the 2024 contenders who don't have secret materials raise a hand? is this a new test for you as a candidate? >> i ask you guys. you cover the broad span of this. don't you think people get sick of -- whether it's border

enforcement or the debt or the budget or now this, what we hear is they come back and say see, the system is broken. doesn't somebody say but you guys are running the system? it turns out that every single thing is broken. >> dana: it makes people think that they are probably not surprised. they probably think corruption or bad acting or even if it was inadvertent in terms of going around the system is what happens in washington. there are never any consequences for it and that people who are lower down on the totem pole lose their jobs, get their reputations ruined and careers taken away and might be prosecuted and go to jail. the double standard fits here as well. >> bill: they don't make it on tv or the newspapers and nobody pays attention to their story. come back soon. >> dana: i like when they ask us questions. there was major damage in south texas after severe storms tear

through houston area. one tornado ripped through suburbs causing widespread damage and power outages. local police chief says he has never seen anything like this. >> in my 25 years here the worst damage i've seen. just catastrophic and we reached out to the red cross. so that's one of the this innings to try to get resources to some folks if their houses have collapsed. >> dana: a tornado moved through. watch this. dramatic footage. wow, this couple and their dog seen diving into a muddy ditch as a tornado touched down nearby. they say they're blessed to be alive and grateful their home is still intact and we certainly share that with them. terrible story there. we can get more for you at the

network this morning. maybe he will consider it. what do you think? i have a chair for you any time. name time. >> bill: police in northern florida are about to announce -- jared brad gann was shot and killed after he stopped to remove a tire from the road. his 2-year-old daughter was inside the car. phil keating has more in miami. phil, hello. >> good morning. in just 2 1/2 hours, jacksonville beach police investigators as well as state prosecutors are holding a news conference to announce what they describe as a significant development in the still unsolved murder misty where the microsoft executive was gunned down in the middle of a road while his then 2-year-old toddler sat in the back seat of his car. jared bridegan was gunned down

in an ambush on a road. there was a tire in the middle of the road leading him to stop his car. move the tire out of the way and the killer shot him repeatedly while his 2-year-old at the time now three was in the back seat. bridegan has dropped off his twins, nine at the time from his first marriage at their mother's house. his ex wife when the killing happened. the exwife and her second husband have been described as suspects in the mysterious killing. shortly afterwards jacksonville beach police put out the flyer of a dark f-150 pickup truck as a vehicle of interest in the case. for nearly a year now, no one has been arrested. fernandez and bridegan divorced but battled over custody of their twins in family court until his death in february of las year. shortly after the murder the

exwife, mother of the twins, pulled them out of their jacksonville area private school and moved across the country all the way to washington state into a six-bedroom home reportedly purchased by her parents. bridegan's second wife who had the toddler with provided no comment on what the significant development may be at the top of the noon hour eastern time. >> bill: we'll see whether it's a cold case or getting hot. nice to see you. phil keating in miami. >> dana: trial attorney joins us. you've been following this case. actually confusing. the two wives and a possible imminent arrest. moving from one side of the country to the next. what should we expect at noon today? >> we often suspect it is the spouse when we have a murder. one in five murders are by the spouse. it is understandable we have suspicion about a wife. she had a motive with lots of fighting about finances and

custody of the children. she also had opportunity. the children he was there to take the children out to dinner. so they knew where he would be. so i would not be surprised if we see her named as a person of interest. if not, perhaps see an arrest today. >> bill: a report her second husband did not move across the country with her. is that significant? >> no, but interesting that he didn't move across the country with her and that there might be some conflict there and perhaps he is a person of interest as well. the thing about this time, it has been a year since the murder. that's time to collect evidence and the investigators want as much evidence as they can have so an arrest will stick. ideally they come to us at noon today with a host of evidence enough to make something stick against whoever it is that they arrest in this case. but we know that the place where he was killed there was not a lot of cameras, not a lot of homes or ring cameras that we sometimes see. that was probably well planned to be sure that there wasn't as much evidence as we would otherwise see in some of these

cases. >> dana: his second wife said this. first the twins lost their dad, then they were completely cut off from their own sisters and now they've been taken away from their school, friends, sports teams. they are so isolated and that's what concerns me. one thing i have a question of. maybe there might be a connection to the one wife in the murder but if she had hired somebody to carry it out is it possible they would have found that person? >> absolutely. that's something that we see oftentimes when it's the wife that does the killing they hire someone. that could happen today as well. the move across the country may have investigators nervous. it could mean she is closer to getting away. we'll know more at noon. i'm hopeful there will be an arrest. you have to imagine that poor mother is living perhaps with a little bit of fear as to who is

out there. >> bill: we await 2 1/2 hours from now. good to see you and welcome back. thank you. we got this from a year ago. >> it's a monstrosity. nothing to do with fairness and decency. nothing but -- it's designed to keep people from voting. >> bill: that was march of 2021. president biden calling out georgia's election integrity law. nothing more than jim crow for the 21st century. today, however, we have a new poll that shows what black voters in that state feel. they beg to differ. it is a stunning survey and we'll share it coming up. the mishandling of classified documents raising concerns about national security. why lawmakers from both sides are sounding the alarm. jim jordan joins us next hour whether or not the growing scandal requires even more investigation.

>> i can't understand how an individual senator can take possession of a classified document and move it to another location. it is unthinkable. >> i don't know what they found than what you read in the press today. that's unacceptable for people on a committee charged with overseeing how america does intelligence. >> dana: senators from both sides reacting amid growing concerns over how classified documents are handled and the risk they pose to national security if they end up in the wrong hands. director of national intelligence admiral hanes could address the issue later today. aishah hosni is following it for us. >> it's hard to believe but senators have not yet received a damage assessment, risk assessment on any of these document dramas as of late. but that could all change later today. that is because, as you said,

the senators on the intel committee will be briefed by the director of national intelligence admiral haines in a closed, door meeting. senators leave their phones and staff outside and enter into a scif which, of course, is a secure room used to review and discuss classified information. intel chairman mike warner has previously requested a damage assessment on both the trump and biden classified documents. marco rubio says both are long overdue because he has major concerns. >> there is a concern that these things in little totality could expose both methods and sources, meaning the people that gave it to us could endanger operations. we don't know until we have answers. >> meanwhile over in the house a battle is underway over who will get an intel briefing. house speaker kevin mccarthy rejected a formal request from hakeem jeffries to see

california representatives adam schiff and eric swalwell on the house intelligence committee citing security concerns. those two members say it is political vengeance for what democrats did in 2021 when stripped paul gosar and marjorie taylor green of their committee assignments. they say it's a tit-for-tat. >> dana: thanks. >> bill: 20 republican-led states and top conservative legal group now suing the biden administration over the migrant patrol program that allows tens of thousands of migrants from four countries into the u.s. every month. texas filing the lawsuit joined by 19 others including florida and that state's attorney general is ashley moody and with me now. thank you for coming back to our program. read a paragraph from the case that says the parole program established by the department fails each of the laws three limiting factors. it is not case-by-case.

it is not for urgent humanitarian reason and advances no significant public benefit. that makes your case. we brought you on to do it yourself. go ahead. >> well, you know, this is what i warned of last year from the moment biden took office he started breaking down all security at the border and in addition, started building unlawful programs to circumvent the normal visa and timeline process to bring even more people into the united states. that is what this new proposal would do. they want to bring in 30,000 people directly, not through the border or through the southern border but directly by air and they will bring them right into the united states and keep in mind the just gigantic nature of what they are proposing. that many people a month, even if allowed to stand illegally through his tenure for the rest of this term of biden, that would be more than the population of some of our

states. that's the magnitude of what this new program would mean. it is unlawful if it aims to circumvent federal law and why florida, texas and 18 other states have filed suit. >> bill: i believe you would have to prove damage to your state. if that's the case, what is the damage to florida? 30,000 a month. >> as you know, bill, we just started the first trial this month pushing back on some of these programs, unlawful programs biden has launched and that's right. we had to show harm. for states like texas and florida where so many, majority of those coming into the country intend to reside, think about this number. we'll spend over $1 hundred million incarcerating those here illegally committing crimes against floridian just in florida. not to mention the educational and healthcare system cost. we've had to show that in court already. i feel confident about that argument.

the states like texas and florida are trying to keep our heads above water. it is not just the burden on the taxpayer, it is our law enforcement who are desperately trying to keep pace with a rush of fentanyl. just this fiscal year in 2023 we've seen enough fentanyl at the border to kill the entire u.s. population three times over. >> bill: this was the update where you could apply for it in your home country or four countries back home. there is the quote from the administration. we anticipate this action substantially reduces the number of people attempting to cross our southwest border. is that the case? is that true? >> that's laughable. we have a record high in december of 250,000 people coming over our border. number 1, 30,000 won't make a tenth but two we've seen it tried in the past. the gotaways increased so

significantly that this is not only unlawful. this will just increase an already chaotic, unsafe situation at our border. that's why we'll keep fighting this in court on behalf of our states. >> bill: see where it goes. the a.g. in florida along with 19 other states and we'll watch it. thank you for your time today. >> thanks so much. >> dana: take a trip down memory lane. president biden called it jim crow 2.0 his assessment of georgia's new voting laws. the subject of intense scrutiny last year. democrats said they were designed to discourage black turnout. but new survey painting a very different picture. more than 70% of black voters said they had an excellent experience at the ballot box. number who reported a poor experience guess how many? 0. and remember, georgia saw record turnout for early voting. i would add this. the story of the poll. should georgia eliminate runoff elections? that's on the table right now.

58% say yes. that would get us out of that little mess that we have. >> bill: continue. >> dana: the survey comes out even while the justice department of the united states is suing the state of georgia. they jumped on this lawsuit right away and lawsuit says georgia is disenfranchising black voters. black voters in georgia are saying that is not true. seems to me it's a lawsuit they could drop, cross it off their list and focus on other things. >> bill: this was a year ago january 2022. the president on what georgia was doing. give that a listen. >> president biden: jim crow 2.00 is about voter suppression and election subversion. it is no longer about who gets to vote, it is about making it hard to vote. >> bill: again, just a reminder, right? this is the runoff elections. go to the other one, guys. the poll from athens, georgia,

university of georgia said 0 percent when asked african-americans. >> dana: 72% said they had excellent experience. >> bill: as for the runoffs i'm all for you. the last couple, right? deep into december and one case january. i am with the 58%. remember, the threshold is 50%. they don't get to pick a percent and you have to do it a month or two from nouchlt >> dana: it would probably save the state a lot of money if they eliminated that. we're always looking out for the taxpayer. >> bill: not that you care, georgia. the hunter biden laptop making news after a watchdog group says it is suing to get the f.b.i. files on the "new york post" story say was quashed. ticketmaster getting grilled on the hill. what will they do? the t. swifty disaster goes on and on but we don't have the clearance. that's coming up next.

>> bill: 70% of concert tickets are sold via ticketmaster in america today. that's a stunning number. i didn't realize. >> why everybody is calling ticketmaster a monopoly. no one is happy. that's 0 for three. i think it is amazing to have this level of republican and democrat unity on any given issue right now. you could chalk that up as a win. when you have millions of constituents in districts across the country sitting at computers all at once and not getting tickets that's a recipe for bipartisan outrage. a majority of people are calling ticketmaster a monopoly because 70 to 80% of the ticket market they do have. in the interest of fairness they fought back against that and said they have loss, not gained market share since the merger with live nation. also this. major issue with bots that occurred yesterday that they

were talking about. and ticketmaster said they spent a billion dollars trying to fight bots, get your money back. >> dana: it wasn't enough. what kind of fault is ticketmaster under here? >> this was a merger in 2010 between ticketmaster that operates ticket selling and the actual venues themselves. we're talking about 300 venues across the country. people are saying i don't pay pepsi to get a drink of coke. why do i do it with ticketmaster in order to get my concerts in the venues? i have to pay the online ticket broker. they are thinking it needs to be broken up when you have 70 to 80% control of the market. i do want to note. maybe you remember in 199 0s. pearl jam went up against ticketmaster saying this is a monopoly, why should we be controlled by these guys? they found out the hard way if you don't have ticketmaster your concerts don't go well. >> bill: you made a good point. 2010, who thought the merger

with as a good idea? >> department of justice. up until 2025 for the extension of that partnership but i think this taylor swift debacle. it highlights how much control swiftese have, right? >> she released a statement saying she is protective of her fans and disappointed. >> she controls the price of the ticket. not ticketmaster the prices. >> the other thing is the fees. 27% of ticket prices are in fees. it was a mystery as to who sets the fees. so is it the venue, the artist, ticketmaster? no one knows. >> you have a performer testifying for their tickets, $30 they only make $6 and that's pre-tax so the artist doesn't get that much money from it. >> bill: you make the case that taylor swift is not without

culpability. >> correct. she is a smart marketer. she hasn't toured in five years. the top ten songs for one album released. supply and demand. >> bill: she can tell ticketmaster what the price should be? >> she has absolute control. >> bill: when the springsteen tickets went on sale a couple months ago trying to get online and they were selling them for four grand and a big uproar. springsteen made a statement saying it's the way it's going. i think he said if you are disappointed we'll give you your money back. >> bill: ticket prices are lewd cross right now. john kennedy has a way with words and he said not every kid can afford a $5 hundred ticket. something has to give. i'm glad we got through the segment without taylor swift puns. >> i am on my parents netflix.

much the tensions are currently boiling over into the 11th month of this war. russian forces today are doubling down in the brutal battle out east ukraine forces are pulling out of a city to save more lives. ukraine soldiers will start training on the leopard two tanks in germany. it could take several months before they are seen on the battlefield on the front lines here in ukraine. as far as what the government is saying, i talked to a senior official today in kiev who says these are highly maneuver able tanks and fast and do very well on the landscape of what we're seeing. >> bill: getting ready for the spring battle. alex hogan live in kiev. nice to see you there. >> dana: american on vacation in mexico kidnapped, shot and killed along with his fiance, sister and cousin. their bodies buried in a shallow grave in a van riddled with bullets. welcome to a new hour of
