[laughter] and for more dates, i've got plenty of them. follow me on twitter and instagram. >> fantastic! special thanks to emily compagno, lauren simonetti, joe devito, jamie lissow, and you, our studio audience. "fox news @ night" with trace gallagher is next. i'm tom shillue, on behalf of greg gutfeld, i love you, america. >> trace: thank you, tom. good evening, everyone, and welcome to america's late news, "fox news @ night." i'm trace gallagher in los angeles. breaking tonight, five memphis police officers had already been fired, and now they face murder charges over the death of a black motorist who died following a confrontation at a traffic stop. the memphis d.a. will release the body cam video of the stop, but there was concern it could lead to civil unrest. kevin corke is live in d.c. with the very latest on this. good evening.

>> good evening, teresa. all five of the former officers facing charges of aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct, official oppression, in addition to, as you point out, second-degree murder charges. [listing names of officers] all fired last week for use of force, and excessive use of force, and for failing to intervene and failing to render aid to nichols, the departments that had been pulled over for suspected reckless driving. he died in the hospital just three days after he was pulled over back on january 7th. police say there was an initial stop, and then pepper spray was deployed, a foot chase, then another altercation. the tennessee bureau of investigation head, david rauch, whose department is leading the ongoing investigation is the officers' conduct, said, "i've seen the video. you will, too. in a word, it's absolutely

appalling." >> the actions of these officers were awful, and no one, including law enforcement, is above the law. i assure you we will do everything we can to keep this type of heinous acts from happening again. >> meanwhile, the city police chief described nichols' beating as heinous, reckless, and inhumane. again, that video will be released at some point tomorrow. in a bit of a curious twist, two memphis fire department employees involved in the nichols case -- in fact, involved in his care after he had been allegedly beaten by police -- have also been removed pending an investigation. that is interesting. we look forward to learning a lot more tomorrow, trace. >> trace: a bunch more. thank you, kevin. from rodney king to george floyd, videotape has been used many times to show police misconduct, but it also doesn't always tell the entire story. with us now is criminal defense

attorney and former homicide prosecutor, david bruno. great to have you on. picking up where kevin left off, you know the tyre nichols video is bad. i want to play the sound bite again because this is an indication of what we are about to see tomorrow. here is the mayor of memphis. >> the actions of these officers were awful, and no one, including law enforcement, is above the law. i assure you we will do everything we can to keep this type of heinous acts from happening again. >> trace: heinous. it's a very serious word, david. your thoughts? >> absolutely. there's also been statements from the chief of police similar to that, and they are bracing for potential riots, asking the public for police protests. we know that the video is approximately 3 minutes long. and look, trace, like you said, sometimes you don't get the

whole picture, but there are five police officers probably all wearing body cams. you're going to get five angles all around. i have already heard that the video looks similar to something like rodney king, and that's terrifying to even think about as it comes out. we saw what happened to george floyd and the unrest, and we just hope that everyone can handle this peacefully. >> trace: here's one of the defense attorneys for one of the police officers. watch this. >> unfortunately we all come over the last couple years, have seen videos where there is police brutality involved. i would just caution the public to reserve judgment. you are going to feel things, you are going to experience emotions, but know that there's always more to the story. >> he makes a good point, because you go back, you mention the rodney king video and you go back to the george floyd video. as hard as they were to watch,

there was some stuff that you didn't see as part of that. that is a fair point, david, right? >> fair point, especially coming from the defense attorney. i'm a defense attorney, as well, and these officers are presumed innocent. the government has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and look, even the town and what's coming out of that defense attorneys mouth, he knows what's coming, and he's asking for them, all of us, to -- i understand, i guarantee, this video is not going to be pleasant to see. >> trace: standby if you will, because we are waiting for moree being released, this time from the san francisco police department concerning the hammer attack on pablo c. anita vogel is live in new york on what that could show us, and this really could set a lot of debates. >> we certainly hope so, trace. the hope is that it'll clear up some of the questions around this brutal and strange attack on nancy pelosi's has been.

we are told the footage includes police body cam and surveillance video from the pelosi home, from the night paul pelosi was attacked with a hammer by intruder david depape. reporters and others curious about the case want to know, was it paul pelosi who opened the door? what was his condition? did he have done that, as some news agencies report, walk back into the house when police arrived connected he appeared to have known depape? the details are very confusing, to say the least. fox news caught up with nancy pelosi earlier today and we asked her about it. >> after the rule that they will release the body cam footage, i'm just wondering if you support them doing that. >> i respect the system. >> the body cam footage is something you've seen at this point? >> no. i don't even know if i will see it. it would be a very hard thing to

see, and assault on my husband's life. i don't know. >> news outlets including fox news had to sue to get the video release. the san francisco d.a.'s office argued against releasing it. they were concerned it could be manipulated and be spread as false information. the video will be released tomorrow. the question is, will it end up providing more questions or more answers? we will find out. it's coming at tomorrow and of course we will stay tuned for that. >> sometime tomorrow we will stay tuned. back to you. let's bring back our legal expert, david bruno. the doj, as anita was pointing out, they said initially that the police opened the door, that paul pelosi did not open the door, but the san francisco d.a. said that paul pelosi opened the door. in fact, he opened it with his left hand and walks back away

from police next to david depape, the alleged attacker. if that's the case, why would the doj say that? if the video shows something different? >> great point, and i guess that's another reason why we should take a step back and wait until the evidence comes out. depape was in court one month ago. his lawyers tried to get the attempted murder count dismissed, and at that time the body cam was in fact played in the courtroom. as reported, essentially depape was to the right side of pelosi, and pelosi grabbed a hammer and then depape got it away from him and struck him in the head, in front of the police officers. pelosi goes down, and he was in a pool of blood unconscious, and the officers tackled. that's what's coming out of the hearing, and that's what i expect to see. i'm not sure who opened the door and whether or not he goes back, but this should be a violent incident that's going to be on

this video. >> trace: in your experience, david, when you hear two different stories and there is some corroborating evidence, some video to back it up, what's the reasoning for that? is somebody trying to delay something from coming out, cover something up, hide something? what's your thought on that? >> oh, wow, i think that is very fact-specific as to the agency. when somebody gets out there and gives a press conference or gets in front of the cameras, i mean, we need transparency every which way, in every type of case. politician, police shooting, whatever it is, because once you lose credibility, you can't get that back. that's important. and now we have body cams. it's a common thing, we just talked about it. in the five officers' case. we'll get in the pelosi case and see what happens here. >> trace: i've got to go, i've got about ten seconds left. do you think the video of the

paul pelosi case changes anything at all, david? >> i think it's going to give the public and understanding of what really happened at that doorway, especially with the surveillance, the 911, the body cam, and the series of videos may put some questions answered. >> trace: we appreciate you, sir. thank you. >> always a pleasure. ♪ ♪ >> trace: meantime, the double murder trial of alex murdaugh. he's accused of shooting his wife and younger son to death back in 2021. allegedly to distract from a host of financial crimes. here's the national correspondent david lee miller. >> on the first day of testimony of alex murdaugh's double murder trial, prosecutors called to the stand some of the first responders to arrive at the scene following the shooting deaths of his wife and son. at times, he seemed visibly upset, especially when dealing body cam video from one of the

officers and listening to graphic descriptions of the victims. >> there appeared to be a large amount of blood around each of them, as well as rain matter. >> daniel green testified that, soon after arriving at the scene, murdaugh tried to link the shooting to threats and harassment connected to a 2019 deadly boating accident, he allegedly caused by his now deceased son. >> his immediate reaction was to start telling me about an incident that happened with his son, with a boating accident. >> murdaugh's defense tried to poke holes in the prosecution's case, suggesting that tire track and foot impressions were not properly investigated. >> i don't know that someone indicated them to me. i believe i just saw them. >> okay. and what did you do to preserve those? >> the tire tracks? nothing. >> another investigator testified that, while murdaugh did not cry, he was an emotional distress when they arrived at the crime scene.

investigators say his demeanor changed when he saw investigators examining truck tire impressions. trace? >> trace: david lee, thank you. and just hours, republican national committee members will vote to elect a new chair to lead them into the 2024 election cycle. the senior national correspondent, william la jeunesse, has a preview tonight. he's lives for us in dana point california. >> trace, this turned out to be much more competitive than many expected. it's a two-person race, current rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel against california trial attorney harmeet dhillon. she represents the activist grassroots wing of the party. the magic number is 85 votes. that's half the number of voting members who are meeting here in orange county. mcdaniel has said she has this race in the bag, but that's not certain, since votes are secret. there's a lot of reasons members may say one thing and do another. politico says harmeet dhillon may have about 60 votes, still

25 shy, but today florida governor ron desantis dropped a bombshell, saying this. "i think we need change. i like what harmeet dhillon says about getting the rnc out of d.c. we need some fresh thinking." of the vote is tomorrow, about noon local time, 3:00 in the east. typically this is a family rivalry. it's turned into a bitter fight with a lot of arm-twisting and finger-pointing, as dhillon tries to topple mcdaniel without alienating the rnc voters she's trying to attract. >> this is not a popularity contest. this is a contest over who is best fit to lead this party to victory in 2024. >> so she argues that republicans lost the senate and the white house, barely won the house, under mcdaniel's leadership, and failed to turn out early voters, and had no compelling message. she says, however, that messaging was not her job, and noted that republicans turned

out more votes than democrats. >> i am running a unity race. i'm talking about how we bring everyone together, and i do think we need to look at our party and say, if we are factions come if we attack each other so much that we can come together to enact and beat the democrat in the end, that's a problem. >> trace: my pillow cl mike lindell is also running but he t expect to contend in this race. the bombshell today was from governor desantis. in making that endorsement. before president trump, who knows both individuals pretty well, did not make any endorsement at all. back to you. >> trace: william la jeunesse live for us in dana point. with the vote hours away, let's get some insight from the political panel. democratic strategists kevin walling and "washington examiner" reporter sarah westwood. thank you both for coming on. sarah, you heard william. that big endorsement came from florida governor ron desantis today, endorsing harmeet dhillon.

do you expect ronna mcdaniel to enact this, or might there be a surprise? >> i think there is a reason why more credible challengers didn't jump into the race against mcdaniel. lee zeldin publicly weighed getting into the race and decided not to after losing the governor's race in new york. i think that's because mcdaniel still has a really strong hold on members of the rnc. i think what we heard desantis say, echoing his rationale for potentially running for president, new blood, getting out of d.c. he is sort of aligning himself with this insurgent wing of the party that's ready to challenge the establishment. you see a lot of the same energy that was behind the speakership race in the house. like the race for kevin mccarthy, there wasn't really a seriously credible challenger waiting in the wings. harmeet dhillon has a potentially real chance. mcdaniel is still the clear favorite going into tomorrow. >> very quickly, kevin, do you

see any surprises here? from the other side of the aisle looking at this, or do you think they are going to stand pat? >> trace, i would be very surprised if ronna mcdaniel doesn't pull it out. she has announced over 100 supporters, 168. as william just said, you need 85 to clear it. i would be very surprised if the party turns against her. to sarah's point, i think it's a really good one, you are seeing this shape up as almost a proxy fight between the donald trump camp and the ron desantis camp. but anything could happen on a secret ballot. i will certainly be watching from this side of the aisle. >> trace: i want to play this sound bite from president biden going after maga republicans today, saying that republicans are going to change social security and medicare, and then i will get your response. watch. >> there's another group, house republican leadership. as i said, it's not your father's republican party. i call them extreme maga

republicans. not all republicans are there, but a distinct minority of 30-40% of them. as i said, they seem determined to be the party of chaos and catastrophe. >> trace: yeah, he doesn't have a lot of credibility on this issue, and he says he wants to work with republicans right after he goes after them as maga republicans. your thoughts on this, sarah? >> you are right, he has very little credibility left on the economy when he's talking about inflation and supply chain and gdp growth in all of the hallmarks the economy. he's been wrong virtually every time he's opened his mouth about economic policy. he's always treated his economic agenda like all he really needs to have as a messaging strategy and not an actual policy strategy. so this is sort of an outgrowth of that approach. he's not putting forward any solutions to the economic problems. he's just trying out a new way to spin what's going on, and this time the bogeyman's house republicans. and it's one of many.

it's not ukraine, it's not corporations, but it's never his fault for stewardship of the economy. >> trace: kevin, final thoughts? >> nothings better than a fired up joe biden on the stump. he will take the fight to these republican house members, especially on the debt ceiling fight. we have seen this 52 times, it's been raised or suspended under republican presidents, democrat presidents. as the president said on the stump in virginia, we don't play with the full faith and credit of the country. we are seeing record gdp growth coming out of two really tough quarters, 50-your best numbers when it comes to unemployment. >> trace: thank you both. >> thanks, trace. >> trace: meantime, most efforts to combat homelessness tend to focus on providing permanent housing, but my next guest says this drug-fueled crisis requires a system dedicated to addiction recovery and not addiction maintenance. let's bring in michael shellenberger. michael, always great to have

you on. i want to put this in, because this is what you tweeted today. if i can pull it up and put it on the screen, "l.a. for its part is san francisco on steroids. there are 69,000 plus homeless. the numbers increased by 4% since 2020 and l.a. increased permanent support of housing units to 33,000 plus from 20 2012-2021, which is three times more. permanent supportive housing per capita than houston." so we simultaneously have more housing and more homeless, michael. >> that's right, and i think a lot of people think this is just a warm weather phenomenon. you can sleep outside year-round in california. but the fact of the matter is, you can also sleep in florida outside year-round, and it reduced its homelessness by almost 50% between 2007 and 2022. whereas california increased its

homeless population by almost a quarter. i think one of the most stunning statistics is that san francisco has 50% more permanent supportive housing for homeless people, but then houston, even though there is nine times more people in greater houston then in san francisco. some of housing were the cause, housing would be the solution, and it clearly hasn't been in san francisco or california. >> trace: interesting to me because the los angeles homeless services authority said it was decreasing in hot spots like skidrow, venice, and hollywood, but they said the following, researchers who zeroed in on those three areas returning dozens of times over a year recorded large increases in unsheltered homeless, 13% in skidrow, 14% plus in hollywood, and 32% in venice, averaging out at 18%. that's a big discrepancy. somebody didn't get the numbers right. >> absolutely. i think it speaks to the

dishonesty that people who advocate public housing, socialize housing, have used people suffering from drug addiction who have lost their homes, isolated from their friends and family because of their addiction. we know that it's not the solution. people in a state of late stage addiction who have lost everything in our living on the streets, they need an intervention, they need court ordered drug treatment and recovery in order to get over there homelessness and recover from addiction. >> trace: michael shellenberger, always great to have you on. thank you, sir. >> thanks for having me, trace. >> trace: meanwhile, our colleague benjamin hall makes an emotional return to live television. his amazing story of survival. while he was covering russia's war on ukraine. later, in the nightcap, do you miss catching first run movies on the big screen, or are you one of those people that likes to kind of stream from your own couch? let us know on social media.

♪ ♪ >> trace: the u.s. military says it has killed an ice's leader in somalia who was a key facilitator for the terror organization's global network. seal team six carried out the assault operation in northern somalia that resulted in the death of bilal al sudani and about ten other operatives. there were no casualties among american service members or civilians. well, russia responded to wednesday's announcement that the u.s. and germany will be sending high tech battle tanks to ukraine with a deadly missile

barrage killing at least 11 people. let's bring a defense priority senior fellow, retired army lieutenant colonel daniel davis. always great to see you. i want to play president biden from march of last year, and then we will talk on the other side. watch. >> the idea that we are going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with american pilots and american crews -- just understand, don't kid yourself. no matter what you all say, that's called world war iii. >> trace: and yet here come the tanks. the question is, what do you think about this administrative 180? and other fighter jets next in line? >> it's hard to say that they wouldn't be, because everything else that used to be a redline and used to be verboten is basically on the table are now on its way to ukraine. that raises big questions, one of my big concerns that we have not heard from their white house what their strategy

is. what is the end state? would return to accomplish? if the answer is that we are going to help zelenskyy as long as it takes, you have to ask, in order to let? drive russia out of ukraine? i can't imagine any scenario that vladimir putin would allow his forces to be physically driven out by nato-supplied equipment to the ukraine and not resort to nuclear weapons. we need to know what the white house's plan is to mitigate against that concern. it's fine to help ukraine defend itself, that's what we've done from the beginning, but we owe it for us to the united states national security and nato security not to expand this war. >> trace: you talk about united states national security. while you're giving ukraine first generation weapons, i'm wondering if you are concerned about readiness, about equipment readiness and people readiness. if something were to happen like

china goes in and invades ta taiwan, if we chose to, would we be ready to respond? >> well, it can't help but have a negative impact. now that we have added 109 fighting vehicles, 90 striker vehicles, a large number of self-propelled howitzers, and now the m1 tanks, there's no reason to think this is the end of the line. these things have continued to grow over time and there's millions of artillery shells and rockets and everything else we would need if we get into a fight. those things are definitely coming down, and at some point our security has to be at least as important to ukraine's security to america. >> trace: i wonder what you think, because i listened to some experts today who believe that by giving these abrams tanks that this will maybe short in the war. others believe this could lead to a protracted war. what are your thoughts?

>> there's no chance. one battalion of m1 tanks or maybe two or three battalions of tanks from germany, that's not going to be decisive. ukraine already has somewhere around a thousand soviet tanks, and these are improvements on that, but they are not game changers. a lot of negatives go along with these positives from the nato equipment, and we won't have time to get into it, but they are not game changers on the field, especially the numbers we are talking about and the time frame we are talking about. >> trace: you said you wouldn't be surprised with the fighter jets. do you expect us to bring in fighter jets into the no fly zone they was off the table just seven months ago? >> i am sure the president would say no american pilots will be in there, but as soon as we have these tanks announced, zelenskyy was back saying that he needs those f-16 playlists at some point, where is the

line? right now there doesn't appear to be one. so there's no reason to think it's off the table. that's the bottom line. >> trace: that does not appear to be aligned. we appreciate your time is always. >> is my pleasure. thanks, trace. >> trace: me time, an update tonight on our colleague and friend benjamin hall. he continues to recover from injuries he sustained while covering the ukraine war almost a year ago. he's working on a new book about his experience and joined "fox & friends" earlier today. >> the first explosion tore through a stand of pine birch trees a few feet away, and we barely turned to look for the second bomb whistled overhead and landed right next to us, and everything went dark. if i had the slightest iota of consciousness, it was a distant sense of shock waves and the feeling that every part of my body, bones, organs, sinew, my soul, had been knocked out of me. i did not exist except as part of a nothingness. i was all but dead.

but then, improbably come out of this crippling nothingness, a figure came through and i heard a familiar voice as real as anything i had ever known. "daddy, you've got to get out of the car." and, in that moment when it happened, i was totally out. i was very badly injured. i had shrapnel in the eye and in the throat, and i saw my own daughters, my young daughters. they brought me back, and i found the strength. i open my eyes and i managed to crawl out of the car. in the third bomb hit the car itself. if it weren't for them bringing me back, i wouldn't be here today. i am alive and i was saved thanks to them, and thanks to pierre, our cameraman, who had gotten out of the car just before me. the two of us lay there for about 40 minutes and talked. he passed away. but the journey that continued was about me being saved, and i was saved by our allies and american veterans, former special forces who risk their

own lives to come into the middle of a war zone and get me out. in this covert way. incredible story. and i was saved by the u.s. military has said, if i could make it to poland, they'd be ready to take me into their arms. and a blackhawk was waiting when i, days later, found a way out. >> trace: saved by the level of his daughters. that's a very good journalist and a very strong man. benjamin's book, "saved: a war report his mission to make it home," will be released march 14th. you can preorder it now, and i recommend you do. still to come, a storm puts on a spectacular display in ohio, plus a brand-new baby giraffe takes her first steps, and they are well worth the watch. the day's best viral, next. rand! highly recommend it! zifans love zicam's unique zinc formula. it shortens colds! zicam. zinc that cold! hi, i'm lauren, i lost 67 pounds on golo.

that kind of stuff. so it's pretty interesting. >> trace: some believe that hollywood is kind of waking up to the need for more christian entertainment in hollywood. do you think that's a fair assessment? >> they should have woke up a long time ago. i did a movie that came out about four years ago called "let there be light" that was funded by sean hannity. open number two and we shot that movie for $3 million. netflix got a hold of me, i had four meetings with netflix and they said they wanted to open an instructional division. i had four meetings over a couple months but nothing ever came from it. i think it got to wake up. their 80 million homes out there that want them kind of movies i'm doing. they're when brothers are famous for movies they do come as well. i'll keep making these movies because we need good messages out about hope and redemption and love and laughter, because hollywood doesn't want to do that. hopefully they will start waking up. >> trace: on the flip side, woke is flopping.

the climate change documentary earns only $80 per theater despite critical reviews. variety, disney's "strange world" was $100 million in theatrical run. hadn't lgbtq lead. and yet, you look, top gun: maverick, about $3 billion. your thoughts on all this? >> well, maverick just blew up. when i went to see it, it was the first movie i went to in a long time. i get tired of the stuff that hollywood puts out, too. people are sick of this wokeness cometh sick of things being forced on the fruit. you can have whatever lifestyles you want, but people want to see movies at a more positive. "top gun: maverick," people are clapping at the end and saying great things about it. when they can scream socialism is good all they want, let's face it, they are a capitalist business and they want to make money. why don't they make more movies

people want to go to is beyond me. i think we are reaching a tipping point right now. >> trace: what do you think of hollywood renewing the covid guidelines and covid mandates? >> it is power. fear is governments favorite weapon. i think it's crazy what they are doing. [laughs] it's about making money. let's face it. that's what hollywood does. they could make more money on this, they have found another revenue avenue, they are going to be plugging at it for a long time. but people are going to fight back. they are sick of it this time around. >> trace: hollywood use to make money, and other losing a lot of money making bad choices. kevin sorbo, always great to have you on. stand by, the is next. meanwhile, a tweet from the associated press stylebook account raised eyebrows on thursday for targeting the word" "it read, "we recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as "the poor come of the mentally ill, the
