♪ >> it's friday. we'll catch you saturday and sunday. >> it is my monday. see you tomorrow and sunday. >> you have the radio show from 9:00 to noon. we have guest mike rowe and matt taibbi. >> bill: good morning. it's friday. on tap, day three of the double murder trial of alex murdaugh starting 30 minutes from now. more dramatic testimony expected coming off yesterday. first responders describing the gruesome crime scene as prosecutors continue to present their case. we'll have more throughout the morning here. meanwhile there is high anxiety nationwide. cities bracing across the country for the possibility of unrest with memphis set to release body cam video of a traffic stop from earlier this month that led to the death of tyre nichols. that's where we start.

welcome to our program. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." the video is set to be released later today. just in time for nightfall and the weekend. now an official describes it as nothing short of appalling. it comes after the five officers involved in the arrest of nick jolles were charged with second degree murder. >> bill: as tensions boil the community holding a candlelit vigil for the 29-year-old honoring his memory and legacy and his mother calling for protests but no violence. listen to her address. >> i want each and every one of you to protest in peace. i don't want us burning up our cities, tearing up the streets because that's not what my son stood for. if you guys are here for me and tyre, then you will protest

peacefully. you can get your point across but you don't need to tear up our cities, people. because we do have to live in them. >> dana: strong messages from a mom who is grieving and charles watson is live in memphis. he has the story for us. what's the feeling like there this morning? >> it's tense but as the city braces for the release of body cam video showing the violent beating of 29-year-old tyre nichols, we are learning that four of the five officers charged in his murder are now free. haley is the only one who remains in custody on $350,000 bond at the shelby county jail this morning. thursday a grand jury indicted all five former memphis police officers charging them with second degree murder, aggravated assault and kidnapping and official misconduct and oppression among other charges. attorneys for two of the former

officers say they have not yet seen the body cam video of the encounter with nichols so they have no idea what the evidence against their clients looks like. in terms of how the former officers are handling the intense scrutiny while the attorney for desmond mills junior says his client is completely devastated by the whole ordeal. >> he could not be more upset about this entire situation. again, somebody who has dedicated his life to protecting society and the community, to be accused of being involved in the death of another is devastating to him. >> devastated or not the community is demanding justice for nichols. they held a vigil honoring him described as an innocent father to a 4-year-old who loved to skateboard and watch the sunset. >> that man was trying to go home. we can't even feed ourselves,

we're not doing it no more. >> nichols died in a hospital on january 10th following a traffic stop three days earlier where officers are said to have kicked, pepper sprayed and tased him during the three minute long beating that's been described as savage. some of the response was caught on police scanner. listen to this edited version as officers communicate with dispatch. >> 2923. we have one male black running. >> eyes on the subject? one running on foot. >> he is fighting at this time. >> a few hours from now we are expected to hear from the family of nichols and their attorneys at a press conference.

>> dana: thank you. >> bill: more now with fox news contributor and former d.c. homicide detective ted williams. welcome back to the program. tyre nichols earlier this month as carlos was explaining there, what led to him to run away from police is not known. why have you got five cops for three minutes beating on this guy? unacceptable. they've now been charged, ted. what would you expect tonight in the evening hours? >> well, i'm hoping that the city will remain calm, bill and dana. i question why you are having the release of this video late in the evening when darkness is certainly the enemy of law enforcement who are going to have to be out there. what we know, dana and bill, is that these five police officers highly unlikely they woke up and said we're going to go out and

kill a black man. i say the word black man because in this case we aren't talking about only five police officers but we're talking about five black police officers that have been charged with the intentional killing of tyre nichols here. what we no is that tyre nichols was stopped at a traffic stop. there was a confrontation there. nichols took off running. law enforcement officers took off running after him and caught up with him. from what we've been told by the tennessee bureau of investigation chief there was an appalling beating that took place that led to these charges here. >> dana: ted, one of the things that -- let's put on call for one. the five officers charged in memphis. they are all black men and these are the charges against them. second degree murder, aggravated

assault, aggravated kidnapping and official misconduct. the police chief is woman, a black woman who said it is appalling, reckless and heinous. our imaginations can envision what this videotape is going to be like. i wondered if i could get your take on this. one of the people who is planning to protest said it is not about the racial makeup between police officers and suspects. it is about power and that the police have too much power over the citizens. how would you respond to that? i know you are very supportive of police and we have this situation where the police will need to patrol tonight under very difficult circumstances. >> it is very difficult circumstances, dana. i can tell you that these police officers belong to a unit most of them called the scorpion unit. it was started in 2021 to deal with violent crime there in the

city of memphis. in response to your question, i think what took place here was that these police officers were chasing this person, the adrenalin flowing. as a result of that when they caught up with him they did not de-escalate. what i think you are finding, dana, this is the result of a lot of inexperienced young police officers not having the right proper training and having law enforcement officers with experience that can guide them. we know that these law enforcement officers all over this country are leaving, the ones with experience, are leaving in droves. they are leaving these young inexperienced officers out there and what i believe happened in this case. young, inexperienced officers that adrenalin was flowing and as a result of that tyre nichols was killed. >> bill: do you have to release

this video now or could you wait for the trial? >> no, i think under their laws they are going to have to release it early on. they can't wait for the trial. i just have to believe again -- i'm being redundant -- they should have done this earlier in the day and not in the dead of night to release this video. i think that's very troubling. >> bill: thank you for coming back today with us. ted williams there. >> dana: thank you. another story we're following, the national archives is asking former presidents and vice presidents to search their own homes and offices for any classified documents. a letter was sent to leaders from the last six administrations covered by the presidential records act dating back to 1981. jacque heinrich is live on the white house north lawn. she has the details. >> a spokesman for former president george h.w. bush's vice president dan quayle says they haven't gotten this request

from the national archives beautifuly cooperate when they do. a representative for the younger bush president said he is certain that w. bush does not have any classified documents in his possession. this request from the national archives really reflects the sense of concern that this may happen more often than anyone initially thought after the discoveries at the trump, biden and pence homes. james comer says it is rumored to be a problem with just about every former president and vice president. his committee will interview a lawyer for the archives next week as part of his probe. director of national intelligence is calling for reforms saying the sheer volume of classified material has skyrocketed over the last 50 years. >> this is an urgent challenge to solve because first, over classification undermines critical democratic objectives such as increasing transparency to promote greater accountable

and informed citizenry. >> haines has not requested to view documents in biden's home. something their security clearances would allow. members of these committees say the d.o.j. is blocking them because of the special counsel's investigation. >> not only should the house intelligence committee and senate intelligence committee be able to get a damage assessment but be able to see the documents for goodness sake. the idea the executive branch is saying you can't do that and d.o.j. saying you can't see those makes no sense, i think. >> senators including tom cotton expressed frustration they don't have the damage assessment they requested from haines about the trump documents and that was six months ago, dana. >> dana: what's the delay? we don't know. i know we'll find out. thanks. >> president biden: the path

forward and we must meet this moment as the united states of america. >> bill: that was on inauguration day and went into the white house talking about unity. taking aim at republicans now for the beginning of a second term. what he has to say about that coming up. >> dana: democratic congressman adam schiff announcing his bid for senate. the seat isn't even open yet. >> bill: here we go. never mind securing the southern border. far left democrats are calling out the administration for something different. they say they are being too tough on the migrants. >> this administration is making it impossible to seek refuge at our border. ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody.

>> dana: congressman adam schiff

is ready to run. the california democrat announced his bid for the 2024 senate seat which isn't officially open yet. dianne feinstein turns 90 this year and she has not yet decided if she'll seek re-election. it will maybe come in the next few weeks days after republicans booted schiff from the intelligence committee. he wants to run the intel committee but announced a senate run on tiktok which there is bipartisan agreement nobody should be on tiktok. >> bill: some others in the race. one to watch. >> dana: there was a big kerfuffle. gavin newsom was under a lot of pressure to support a hispanic. fun for the board. >> bill: the so-called chief twit is going to washington. musk is meeting with top

lawmakers talking about big tech to make the platform fair to both parties. there are growing questions about the cozy relationship between big tech and the federal government. hillary vaughn is on that as we say hello on a friday. hello. >> good morning, bill. elon musk was on capitol hill yesterday meeting with speaker kevin mccarthy. he says he came to wish him a happy birthday and they've been friends for years. mccarthy was tight lipped was discussed in the meeting. section 230, the law both republicans and democrats want to reform that twitter and other platforms are liable for what happens there. >> did you talk about section 230 at all and any concerns about that? >> musk met with others. he tweeted about the meeting

saying met with speaker mccarthy and jeffries to discuss insuring the platform is fair to both parties. jeffries office is disputing that they had a scheduled face-to-face with must bing. they are saying that he happened to run into him in mccarthy's office and saw him there. bill. >> bill: thank you. we'll watch it and see what kind of reaction he gets, right? >> president biden: you have to protect those gains that our policies have generated protect them from the maga republicans in the house of representatives threatening to destroy the progress. this ain't your father's republican party. they choose to inflict that kind of pain on the american people. >> dana: the uniter in chief during economic remarks sounding like a campaign speech. speculation is growing about the president's re-election bid trying to fire up his left wing base on attacks on maga republicans. >> president biden: these guys are the fiscally demented.

we can't ignore the impact this is having on our country. it is damaging, it's corrosive and destructive. the maga republicans represent an extremism. >> dana: texas congressman jody arrington joins us. this is a sign of more to come. he is laying the ground work for the attacks. if you looked across yesterday any democrat making comments were all using a similar line. the campaign might be well and truly underway. >> i think it is. if you don't want to be accountable for your agenda, your policies and the disastrous results of those policies, then blame other people. the problem, dana, is he doesn't have the credibility. he is totally disconnected or dishonest, one of the two. neither are good. i think the people see through that. they understand that the decisions that he has made, whether it's on energy or the

tax and spend that has ignited this inflationary firestorm that's making it completely untenable for working families, the list goes on. safety, border security. they know that these are self-inflicted crises at the hands of a lawless, derelict, incompetent and potentially corrupt president. >> bill: i guess saying maga must poll well in the focus groups. you must be able to raise a lot of money off that. another topic here. there are 77 democrats saying the administration is too tough on the migrants, led by congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez making the case this way yesterday. >> biden promised to end title 42. instead he is now expanding restrictions on asylum seekers. biden should listen to the courts and human rights activists and reverse course. >> why would this administration

double down on this illegal and inhumane policy? >> in part they want to get rid of title 42 illegal and inhumane. will the president listen to them? >> no. i think he wants it both ways and he is in a real predicament. most americans feel betrayed. i can tell you border states feel completely abandoned by him and his first priority to provide a common defense and just enforce the laws of the land. now the left, who he has been placating this whole time which is the real impetus behind open border policies they now feel betrayed. i don't think most americans believe he is going to have anything but a half hearted, half measured implementation of any of this. just like the remain in mexico and the court orders there. just like title 42, as you mentioned, and other things. whether it was congressional

mandates for border wall construction, court orders, this president does not have the political will, i don't believe, to follow through. which puts it on the states. and their sovereign right of self-defense which has been my message all along. >> dana: biden is going to paint the republicans as he called it yesterday the party of chaos and catastrophe. knowing that is what you are facing and now as the head of the budget committee as the new congress gets underway what are the ways you'll fight back against that branding because he has the bully pulpit. >> well, the good news is it wasn't long ago before we had unified republican leadership and we reduced the tax and regulatory burden on our job creators. we unleashed unprecedented prosperity. we had trillions of dollars flowing back to the united states. we had the highest income in wages we've seen in recent history.

we lifted 6 million people out of poverty. life in america was good with republican policies and people weren't worried about crime and secure border. talk about chaos, there is nothing about chaos and lawlessness at the southern border and the american people know it. there is an easy contrast there. i would say with this debt and with this reckless spending and the failed economic policies that have us teetering on recession, that's easy. this president won't sit down and talk about common sense spending controls to rein this in. stabilize the economy and assure my children and the children and grandchildren of your viewers that they will inherit a country and freedom, opportunities and prosperity we've enjoyed. he won't even have that conversation. i like our chances of contrasting over the next two years. >> bill: we'll get into the debt conversation in about 30 minutes. thank you for being with us today.

police have made an arrest in the murder of microsoft executive jared bridegan a year after the slaying. the case remains far from closed. this morning we'll talk live with his widow and his brother here today. plus the alex murdaugh double murder trial set to resume in moments after a day of sobering testimony from first responders describing a gruesome crime scene. two dead and a seemingly undisturbed suspect. or was it? >> did you ever see any tears in your interactions with mr. murdaugh >> he didn't appear to be crying. he was upset but no visible tears. off your monthly expenses, call newday the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you take out an average of $70,000. use that low-payment home loan to pay off your high-rate credit cards. then, pay off your car loan. and then take the cash left over and put it in the bank for the financial security that every veteran deserves.

>> bill: we're getting news the white house will hold an official transition event or ron klain on the job two years and the incoming chief of staff jeff zients, say it with me, dana? >> dana: we think it's how it is

pronounced. i want to hear him say it himself and we'll decide. >> bill: coming up next week. in the meantime you have this from 24 hours ago. watch here. [[inaudible] >> dana: prosecutors play the chilling 911 claims in the alex murdaugh double murder trial yesterday and the jury heard from first responders who described the graphic crime scene where his wife and son were killed. testimony is set to resume any minute now. let's get an update from jonathan serrie live at the southeast bureau in atlanta. hi. >> so far the witnesses called by the prosecution have been police and other first responders to arrive at the crime scene. alex murdaugh was visibly emotional in court yesterday as they played body cam recordings from investigators arriving at

the 1700 acre family estate where the bodies of his wife and son were found fatally shot. in one recording you can hear murdaugh tell a sheriff's detective what he believed led to the shooting. >> my son was in a boat wreck a few months back and he has been getting threats. most of them have been benign stuff we didn't take serious, you know. he has been getting punched. i know that's what it is. >> you heard murdaugh talking about his son's boat wreck. a 19-year-old passenger died in that boat accident and her family sued the murdaughs. that exposed alex murdaugh, then a prominent attorney, to scrutiny of his finances. more people came forward with allegations that murdaugh was pocketing money from his law firms and clayens. prosecutors suggest the defendant killed his wife and son to create a distraction from

that. they will argue whether there is enough evidence to prove murdaugh was at the crime scene when the shootings occurred. >> we're going to have a battle of scientists. we'll have phone mapping. we'll have gunshot residue. we'll have ballistic experts. >> we expect the hearing to get underway any minute. dana, back to you. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: more now criminal defense attorney jonna spilbor was with us yesterday and welcome back here. i don't know how it will go or how the defense is going to stack up. but essentially based on what we know police show up at this massive 1700 acres. they have no neighbors. nobody lives in the area. there are three people there when they get there at 10:00 at night. two of them are dead. the state is saying that both people were shot with different weapons. one of the weapons belonged to the family. the other weapon hasn't been recovered. >> right. >> bill: when we get around to

the defense, what's the theory that is developing in this? >> one of the theories is that there is precious little direct evidence connecting alex murdaugh to these crimes. in other words, we don't have the exact murder weapon because what the prosecution is saying is we know that maggie murdaugh was killed with a 300 blackout rifle and we have recovered one and not sure if it's the one that killed her. there is another 300 blackout riffle missing. we also know the family had a lot of shotguns. they had a shooting range on their property. they've recovered shotguns, 12 gauge shotguns but haven't connected a 12-gauge shotgun to the exact murder. also what we saw yesterday, this was an opportunity for the jury to actually see the crime scene which was gruesome. so gruesome the judge has ordered when they are showing it on the monitors, the defense and prosecution have to cover them

so only the jury can see it. we can't see it and the people in the gallery can't see it. there are that gruesome. themes. the prosecution is trying to set the stage that alex murdaugh's behavior and demeanor was weird and the defense is trying to set the stage that from the jump the investigation was tainted or the crime scene was not properly preserved or somehow the investigation was botched and potentially that it was a murder/suicide. whether it is or isn't they are trying to set the stage for reasonable doubt. very interesting this early in the game. >> dana: we heard from sergeant daniel greene the first on the scene yesterday. let's listen here. >> did mr. murdaugh tell you he had any sort of firearms >> he did. he stated that he had left from that scene, went to the residence, grabbed a shotgun from that residence and brought

it back because he felt like he needed to have it just in case something else were to happen. based off of how nervous he was acting and anxious and upset, i decided it was in everyone's best interest to get that shotgun and secure it in my vehicle so no one else had access to it. >> dana: how did you find him as a witness yesterday? >> as i would expect any first responder he was pretty cool, calm, collected. just the facts, ma'am, facts. the prosecution wants to dig into the demeanor and strange behavior. for example. your wife and kid are killed. why did you go get a shotgun? that's the seed they are trying to plant. the defense is arguing he was if fear for his life. his wife and kid just died. you have those competing facts there. >> bill: last point here. there is a snapchat video that his son filed at 8:45 p.m. and then there is a 911 call that was made by the defendant at

10:00 p.m.enter correct? an hour and 15 minutes that if the state is right, he killed his wife and killed his son and he got rid of the clothes and he got rid of the weapon, or his family was just going around a peaceful evening and 1 or 2 killers came onto that property and shot the son and wife. jonna, we said earlier either it is a massively complex case or we're making it so because it's simple in the end. right now we don't know. >> massively complex will help a defendant because the defendant wants to create reasonable doubt. right? if those two theories are presented to a jury and they can't agree on which one, he wins. >> dana: that trial is just getting underway. we're going to monitor it for news and bring you anything as it happens. thank you, jonna. as washington grapples with a solution to the southern border a man says he has the answer.

like. goes in your house, small area. jared, come back here. i want to show you. we checked did they already lay something? >> you will have to take a look. this is the exciting part about having chickens. >> look at that. we got two? >> two eggs out of three birds. >> we start around $5 hundred for the season depending on where you live throughout the united states and canada. >> you put them in the backyard. in the summer they can swim out here, too. >> they don't float like ducks so you definitely want to watch them on that. >> i don't know if it saves you any money, bill but it is kind of cool. if i don't get divorced over this maybe we'll have eggs. >> i think you are good this time, jeff. i had two of those this morning and you get back in the bush. tell your friend a most egg-cellent report in p.a.

>> dana: comedian kay hammered americans for prioritizing the country's safety over the security of others. i don't know what he was talking about. here is what he said. his solution. >> you are not supposed to be happy and you are not supposed to be safe. i think that that's the problem is that people expect that. >> my feeling is they should open the border and let them everybody pour in and then the answer, which is well then there will be all these problems. yes, there should be. it shouldn't be so great here is what i'm saying in america. >> dana: let's bring in douglas murray. the conversation goes on and one of the things he said was the left and the right get to extremes on this issue and we need to get back to a certain place but he does provide some food for thought, some controversy for us to talk about this morning. are americans too comfortable? >> he is a comedian but not a migration expert by a long way. we have a fairly open southern

border at the moment in the united states and we see all over the country the results of that. in the border states. look at the problems that new york is going through. new york has had thousands, a small number by comparison with what is coming into across the board. having to be rehoused at hotels. what's the cost of that new yorkers? millions of dollars a year as taxpayers. that's just a tiny example. there is something like 800 million people in central and south america who could come here, several times the population of the united states. i always say you either have a country or you don't. you either have a system where people who live in the country pay taxes and get things back for their taxes or you allow the world in and free for all free buffet that doesn't last very long. so that's the answer to his question. it wouldn't just be bad for a little time. it would be bad very fast and then over. so as i say he is a very funny

guy but not a thinker. >> bill: a shot of comedy there. open borders folks think there should be equitable to all people. go from third to first world without a problem. "the new yorker", a gentleman is writing about men in the world. not just america. what's the matter with men? they're floundering in school and workplace and conservatives blame the crisis on masculinity. problems and solutions are more complex. he saw a book by richard reeves a couple of years ago and you said you saw this book and read it yourself. what is it all about? >> even the left is conceding there is a problem with young men in particular. their way of doing it is to say it's more complex than these right wingers are saying. it is quite complex and quite straight forward. young men in america have been for a generation deeply demoralized and dropping out of

school and universities as historic rates. applying for university and college at lower rates than ever before. and there is a reason for this. they have grown up in the culture which everyone from politicians to gillette and major firms have said men are the problem. masculinity is the problem. nothing will be right in america or equal until everything is fair between the sexes. the problem they encounter there are certain high profile professions that women have been underrepresented in and minorities. the answer to this is not a 0 sum game where you say as a result we should beat up on men for a bit and tell them they aren't capable just because historically went to university less than men does not mean that today you should tell men you've got to pay for the past, you will have to suffer in this generation in order to get to equity. that's what the left has been pushing. i experienced it myself with

readers and audience when i speak to college students and much more. they all know the score on this. all the young men are being told effectively to hold back. here is the thing that goes back to the last segment. if america will remain successful in the world and remain the most dynamic economy it will need half the population. it is going to need them. it will need the female and male population too. the consequences long term of telling the male half of the population hold back, don't be ambitious or thrusting, this is toxic, you are the problem. we will as a country experience the problem and the consequences of that long term for a long time to come. i'm glad there is a point. there is a huge national problem. >> dana: great to have you on the show and thank you for being here. have a good weekend. >> bill: a suspect accused in the killing of a microsoft executive questioned now.

a family really rips us apart. it is truly gut wrenching and this just hearing the news recently this week of the arrest has been really bittersweet for us, right? we feel a sense of hope and peace that there is answers coming. but we also know there is a long road ahead and there is a long road ahead for all of us as a family and for jared's four children that we love and want them to have answers as well. >> dana: listen to state attorney melissa nelson on the suspect here. >> conspiracy to commit murder. we know henry tenon did not act alone. >> dana: so we know he was renting an apartment connected to the first wife. one of the things that happened during this murder is that your daughter was left in the car and

quite traumatized, screaming, wondering what happened to her dad. you started something called the becksly box. what's that? >> so bexley was with jared when he was murdered and she spent hours at the jackson beach police department after the fact without basic necessities like a sippy cup, diaper the right size and things like that. so for months i just thought about what i would have wished she had available to her and that's where i started the bexley box, like a toy box filled with necessities like sippy cups, snacks, blankets, diapers of every size as well as things to comfort children. stuffed animals, fidget toys, puzzles and donating those to law enforcement agencies to use for future victims like bexley. >> dana: that's beautiful. adam, it is clear that jared was

well loved by his children and by you and by kirsten here. any last thoughts before he let you go today and keep in touch on this story? >> jared was an incredible man of faith and made so many samery fi -- sacrifices for his foundation and family. this bexley box is helping other children. jared would have done anything for his children to be their father. thank the community for all their prayers and their support and we just really hope we will have justice here soon. >> dana: thank you. we'll see you again soon. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> dana: president biden bashing republicans attacking their efforts to stabilize the nation's finances this after the president and democrats pushed spending and debt to record levels triggering the worst inflation in 40 years. how about that? welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemm
