will: straight to fox news alert, protesters across the country reacting overnight after the memphis police department released body cam footage of the police-involved death of tyre nichols. pete: demonstrators in memphis shutting down major highways as large groups took to the streets. rachel: don bongino us live with his reaction and alexandria hoff is live with his look at the protest. >> a look at disturbing video,

charles. reporter: good morning, guys. for days we were told that the beating of tyre nichols at the hands of memphis police officers would be heinous and savage and unfortunately the videos live up to those descriptions. >> [ yelling ]. reporter: the first video captured on body cam and an officer approached tyre nichols with their gun drawn and aggressively yank him out of his vehicle as nichols tells officers he didn't do anything and officers throw him on the ground and throw laced commands at him and put him behind his back and nichols escaped from police and they tase him and takes off his shirt and runs away. at that point, officers chase

after nichols and later on when officers catch up to him, you see nichols on the ground as he's being restrained. multiple officers punch nichols several times and pepper stray him as they demand he give them his hands and all this happening as nichols calls out to his mother for help. >> mom! mom! mom! mom! reporter: despite the fact that officers appeared to already have hold of nichols arm the assault continues at one point you see the officer come and kick nichols in the head at least two times as if he was punting a football and then officers perceive to pass nichols around striking him with a baton and punching him in the face before he collapses and is later dragged and propped up against a police car for several minutes without having any aid

rendered. it took more than 20 minutes for emts to bring a stretcher in so nickels can be taken to a hospital. this morning we were scheduled to sit down and talk with the lawyer representing former memphis officer desmond mills jr. who's one of the five officers charged with murdered nick nichols and that -- nichols and that didn't happen but the lawyer said we'll review these at the appropriate time and thorough investigation of all angles needed before providing comment and my heart out to the nichols family and entire city of memphis and hope they'll all express themselves peacefully and we know this morning that officials here in memphis say that other officers are being investigated for their roles in that beating including two sheriff's deputies who we're told had been relieved of duty pending an independent investigation. we also spoke to the shelby county da earlier this week who

says more charges could be coming in the coming days as this investigation moves forward, guys. rachel: charles watson live in memphis, tennessee. thank you, charles. outrage over nichols death sparking protest across the nation. will: we're learning more about ttyre nichols, a son, and father who considered become ago police officer. pete: alexandria hoff is live with more. >> yeah, most of property testers were peaceful and some of the cities outrage boiled over and in memphis in particular, protesters marched for over an hour shutting down a four-lane freeway after the graphic body camera was released and in new york city a handful of demonstrators were seen stopping police cars in time square yelling burn it down. police in los angeles fired what appeared to be tear gas in an effort to disburse out of control crowd that gathered outside of police headquarters.

tyre nichols grew up north of there about 350 miles in sacramento and relocated in memphis and his family describings the 29-year-old as a joyful person, loving son and father to a 4--year-old boy. there's no indication that nichols had any criminal record. his mom describes him as "near perfect" and speaks to what he was doing before being stopped by police on january 7. >> he was on his way home. he goes to shelby farms every weekend to watch the sunset. that's his passion. he will then go to skate board or -- you know, he was on his way home. >> he was on his way home. that's what he told officers and one of nichols' friends told the new york times he was a great person who considered becoming a police officers one day to "change th things in the system. after the footage depicting his beating was released the memphis grizzlies held a moment of

silence in his honor. the memphis police fired the five officers involved in the deadly traffic stop and the nichols family lawyer ben crump said the department did the right thing. guys. rachel: alexandria, thank you so much. pete: thank you. will: that was a segment with lawrence jones on the show earlier today that this will be the subject of many conversations and the subject perhaps of protests, but lawrence in an emotional reaction to the video which has almost been universally condemned said the response has actually been something to celebrate. the response has been a model for a police department how to handle one of these tragedies. however when it comes to the officers in that moment, lawrence said they cannot even begin to comprehend the damage they've done to america. >> i just cannot get past the amount of police policy broken in the video. the constant beating. to say that you're going to break his arm. when he says, is this really necessary? i mean at that point, i may be

running for these cops to be black and know the conversations going on in black america, and then you go out there and make it worse, you didn't just dishonor your badge, you made it hard for all the cops out there every single day that want to dot right thing, that want to bring communities together and you're a black cop but you know the talk that's been given, the damage they've done to america -- cops are the only profession that are judged by the few. it's sad but it's a reality. we got to talk about it. everyone is ashamed by these officers. every case they have been apart of is now going to be under review. you may have legitimate criminals that are going to be probably back on the street all because they couldn't hold their temper. pete: part of this conversation is this was an elite unit given as lawrence described a bit more rope because they were doing dangerous jobs. in that scenario, a scorpion

unit, you better have leadership right there ready to assert itself, to maintain a culture that doesn't go too far with that latitude. from the beginning to the end, how they approach the car to what they were doing at the end is not something police do. who let that culture take root? rachel: i love when you give the example of you were in a combat situation but you said it so early in the show and it's worth explaining what happens in these intention emotional situations. pete: these are inner city gang units and different types of people and just have the aggressive ones setting the initiatives, it's pretty tough for the less aggressive soldiers in my case to go stop stop stop. they're going to say what do you mean, stop? i'm saving why r life and doing the tough stuff that you're not willing to do. it's not going to be your peers to stop that but a lieutenant or sergeant that says enough. that's not how we do it. that's how i saw it in the

military context you want to let them be aggressive but the minute a line is crossed, which was clearly crossed here, it takes leadership. rachel: james craig said that and said this was a culture issue, a leadership issue all the way up to the chief of police, but also he talked about their should have been a supervisor that these cops that were on the scene in this supposedly elite unit were not very experienced. pete: we've will less police officers on the street and they'll be accountable to someone eventually with body cameras and others. will: bring in dan bongino, the host of unfiltered with dan bongino and a former nypd officer as well. dan, you've seen the video and heard the conversation, what's your thoughts this morning? >> i intentionally didn't do any media on this even of my own accounts, social or my show and this network last night because i wanted to wait to comment until i watched the video multiple times, saw multiple angles and haven't done this job

or been a street cop in brooklyn or one of the most dangerous in the country and i've been there and hundred of traffic st stopsd foot pursuits and i've seen it and know what it feels like to walk up on a car. i waited to comment because i'm trying to find any legitimate rational reason that the situation was handled the way it was. there's been a lot of commentary on this about training and other things and i don't get where that comes from. you think anyone was trained to do this? this isn't a training issue, guys. i was actually a trainer in the secret service law enforcement academy and went through the nypd academy twice as in the cadet program and the cop. and the secret service academy and the federal law enforcement training center down in glen county, georgia. nobody is trained to do this. this is not a training issue. this is a personnel issue.

these guys are just bad guys. who does this? listen, guys, there is no attempt in this situation and again, i've been there, i've done this and i've watched this video probably ten times. there is no attempt at all at any point in this sen natural scenario todeescalate, none, ze. this is not a one-on-one keep in mind. there's multiple men that significantly outweigh this guy and i get it, i watched two swat cops in a hospital in brooklyn nearly get taken out by a 13-year-old young girl. so people do get the adrenaline rush that happens in these vessels laningful situations and it's -- stressful situations and like pete said are very real. there doesn't appear to be any attempt to deescalate and lower the adrenaline level and i've got a couple more points to make

here. listen, as conservatives and libertarians with the sane rational lover of this country, it is our duty no matter who we're looking at in this video, a cop or civilian, to defend everyone's god-given rights. god-given rights. the constitution protects what god gave you. i'm not really sure that these cops understood that with this guy. what -- i don't understand what he did. they're saying reckless driving, why are you yanking him out of the car then? where's your license? can we see your license, sir? we pulled you over for reckless driving and i don't understand where any of that is. a couple of other things here. this is important. all the other police officers out there that i know are good and decent people and you know this and don't ever forget, we are not individual leeanneties and this -- vigilantes and this is not judge dread and we're paid to do a job and that old

adage goes and keep civilization on the national liberty in tact. when those handcuffs are on or that subject stops resisting, that fight, damn it, it's over, man. that is not your fight anymore. that is not your fight anymore. it is for the judge and the judicial system and a jury or if that he decides to plea and get a lawyer at that point, that is the purpose of a legal system. we're not animals. we are not savages. we don't beat the living out of people to make a point. this isn't a bar fight. we're not bouncers. we are professionals, and one last thing. actually i got a couple other things, you don't soccer kick someone in the damn head. they don't even let that happen in the ufc. when a person is not on their feet, you don't kick them in the head. you could literally kill them, which in this case happened.

one more point here, the process worked. the process worked, guys. you had these officers immediately terminated and the judicial system, which they disrespected by beating the crap out of this guy till he died, the judicial system made this respect that will now ironically handle them. the five men you see on the screen. like anyone else they're entitled however to the prescription of innocence. they'll have their -- anyones. they'll have their say in court as well. however now they'll be subjected to the jury of their peers. again, the same exact system they disrespected by enacting a death penalty themselves in this case. pete: great stuff. go ahead. rachel: i'm going to ask you a question and first of all, i agree with everything you said and this question i'm going to ask you is not in any way that i'm acting as an an apologizinr

the cops because what they did was despicable. they came in really hot like in pursuit. we don't know what happened before other than we're hearing reckless driving or something. do you feel like there's something missing that we don't know and if there is, why wasn't that information released at the same time so we could have some answers to that? >> well, there's always going to be context issues we're un-aware of in any case, it's a legitimate question and no apology for anything needed and i heard lawrence bring it up before, it's a good point. where did they come from before this? did one guy get in a fight with his wife before he got to work? the bottom line is you're never going to know all that. what also -- know what the other bottom line is, rachel, it doesn't matter. you're a cop, you're not a vigilante. i'm serious. of course the story matters and the context matters, but that doesn't excuse anything. hey, i had a fight with my wife, my kid failed their math test. so you rip a guy out of the car

and you beat the crap out of him? i mean, i guess, context wise it fills holes we need, we need and i can sense what you're doing, rachel, because i do the same thing. you're trying to understand as a human being and lover of jesus christ, why would you do that to another person? you're trying for it to make sense. human beings think in narratives and stories we're not ants or dogs and we need explanations for behaviors and dogs don't. dogs go i sit and give me a cookie. we're not dogs. we want explanation and always ask why. but the hard reality here when you look at moral and ethical universe here is the why here really doesn't matter. there is no excuse for that. i've been through so many of the training courses and let me say one more thing too on this topic. there should be no overreaction on the other side of this either. there are people out there as the great robert woodson said before who made a grievance out of this and made dollar signs

and chaos in the future and that's all they want. these officers were charged with murder and they'll be subjected to a jury of their peers in the civilized constitutional republic. there's a process. i'm hearing calls already and we need to dis-ban this scorpion unit. that is probably the dumbest thing i've ever heard. you know why, because again, i'm basing it on reason and fact. after they had use of force incidents in the nypd, they dumped the street crime unit and a whole lot of young black men got freaken killed because that unit was taking all the illegal guns off the street. so everybody needs to look at this and be sober and rational and reasonable and say do we have this unit? what is it doing? are there bad cops in it? have we made bad personnel issues? clearly in this case. let's clean the unit up and not fold to political pressure, which is going to in the long run get more young men and women killed by putting bad cops in i can'ts. this is a personnel issue.

i'm telling you this is not a training issue and nobody is trained to do this. no one. rachel: the unit is inactive as of right now because of this incident. >> that's a shame. that's a shame because i'm telling you that anticrime and these plain closed units in new york city were probably single handedly responsible for about 60 to 70% of crime reduction. no one will lecture me on it, man. i was l. i did it. you have a whole bunch of people commenting and i understand. people have the right to comment on it. i was there, man. the 7-5 precinct in a foot pursuit, vehicle pursuit, or some perp or suspect resisting every single night. the rules were the same, the cuffs are on and the fight is over. they stop resisting and the fight is over. that's the training. that's the training. you don't disband the unit because of an incident like this however horrifying it is to watch. my wife and i sat in a restaurant down the block last night with two hours i get a free time the whole week.

watch this thing in horror. i couldn't -- i had to stop. i'm like -- she's like how. i said i don't know. i don't know how. all i know now is we thankfully live in a constitutional republic and they'll be subjected to a jury of their peers and we'll see what they say about them. pete: very well said, dan, the right guy to talk about it this morning. it means you'll have a powerful show tonight as you die second it further. what do you have tonight? >> well, tonight we'll be covering a lot. you're on the show tonight and we'll be covering the paul pelosi breaking news story on that. also i have a segment on george soros with open boarders. i saw you guys on the wall, and i just want you to think about something before tonight's show, that fbi agent was arrested for allegations of money -- taking money for political activities in albania. soros was in albania too and know who else? the sinaloa drug cartel was in albania and the biden administration suspiciously did absolutely nothing about it and mainstream media people were

asking a whole lot of questions about why biden was doing nothing about narco trafficking in albania, which by the way the sinaloa cartel profits off open boarders, which ask a key function o a lot of soros-fund groups. i'll put it together for you tonight with matt polumbo. it's a really good piece. will: as human beings we want to know the why but in the end it doesn't matter the why. rachel: the answer is there's some bad people and that's really hard for us to understand. will: that's right. >> rachel, i know we have to go and that's why we have a justice system, okay. that's why we have a justice system to pick those people out. will: thanks, dan. rick: thanks for come -- rachel: thanks for coming dan. we appreciate it. coming up, new this hour, new data reveals the golden state getting a large portion of gas from the amazon rain forest. the crude awakening from climate-crazy california. stay with us.

rachel: a crude reality in california, a new york sometimes report reveals one in every nine tanks of gas, diesel or jet fuel in the united states comes from the amazon rain forest. here to react is california state senator shannon grove.

relativelwelcome, senator. the first thing is a lot of our viewers don't understand how much oil and gas is actually -- or can be produced right in california. >> you know, thank you, rachel, for covering this subject matter. californians consume about 1.8 million barrels of oil every single day. we used to produce a lot of that in california. the governor touts a green transition, but what he's essentially done is imported more oil from ecuador. california consumes about 53% of ecuadoren oil. california is the number one purchaser of ecuadoren oil and used to only import about 5% from countries and the governor increased the imports because he's touting a green transition and basically just limiting them from producing oil on california soil by california jobs, for californians to use. he's importing it from ecuador

that has zero to minimal virallal and regulatory processes. rachel: yeah, not to mention that actually the shipping of it over here is also, you know, creates a greater environmental carbon imprint if you will that that's not -- he's claiming it's for environmental reasons and he's shipping it here and doesn't make any sense at all. what does the oil industry in california doing to counter this because i see so much climate propaganda propping up all these silly pop seizure disorderses from gavin newsom but the -- policies from gavin newsom but they don't promote a good job of what they do, domestic production for national security reasons and how it supports our lifestyle, modern life, all kinds of things. >> you're absolutely right and the oil companies need to do more. kern county, the area i represent in the central valley that produces about 70 fer70% of thestate's oil and pua phenomenal impact report to be able to mitigate any carbon

issues, and we're the only county in the state that's done that. it's faced judicial review several times and we recently went through another process, but the point we need to drive home is that californians consume 1.8 million barrels of oil and the bottom line is the governor is importing this from foreign sources, and when you look at ecuador's policies versus california's most restrictive environmental and regulatory processes, it's more efficiently and better here under a regulatory process. you mention the ships. that oil from ecuador is brought to our coastline in california by bunker fuel ships that use about 26 million metric tons of carbon to bring the oil to us. all of the transition policies that have been in place to increase the cost of electricity and everything else up 56% above the national average.

this green push is costing more money and not allowing production to stay in our state. rachel: yeah, representative -- i mean senator, thank you for joining us this morning. it's a war on humans, i think it's a war on modern life, and we're losing good california jobs right in your district because of it. thanks for bringing attention to this issue. i think it's really, really important. by the way, no one knows more than this state senator about the american oil and gas industry so thanks for joining us. >> thank you, rachel, very much. rachel: you got it. don't go anywhere, will's buddy steven a. smith joins us next.

will: back to our top story, memphis police release body cam video showing the brutal beating of tyre mix also. his mom describes her grief. >> i felt a lot of pain and

discomfort in my stomach. and at the time i didn't realize what it was, but once i found out, then i just said that was my son's pain that i was feeling. will: here to react, author of a brand new memoir, straight shooter, steven a. smith. my friend,st been a long time. >> it's been a long time, man, good to see you. will: we were going to have you today to talk about straight shooter. we can touch the on it a bit later, but in the wake of the video and the protest last night, no better guest to hear from this morning. >> it was an atrocity, no question about it. my heart goes out to tyre nichols' family. he was tortured and beaten, and as far as i'm concerned, second-cree murder doesn't begin to touch on what these officers deserve. they took the his life, and as far as i'm concerned, the five officers involved their life should be taken meaning they should be in prison for the rest of their lives. i don't know whether that will happen, of course. we'll let the judicial system reach that conclusion.

but what i wanted people to remember is that if you're watching these videos -- and i watched all 66 minutes of it. if you watch the video with the body cam, there is a point, a significant chunk of time where you can't see what is going on. but you hear the officers screaming, put your hands behind your back and all of this other stuff. they already had him restrained. they already had him in their possession. then the cam, the surveillance cam from across the street is what caught them. you saw two officers holding him down. you saw another officer come and kick him in the face twice. you saw another officer come out of nowhere and grab the night sick or baton, whatever word you want to use, and struck him at least twice. they beat him to death. there is no way around it. and as far as i'm concerned, obviously something needs to be done, but i do think it's important to call for peaceful protests and to recognize the fact that the system itself appears to be working the way it

always should. they were immediately fired, they were immediately indicted, okay? the charges have been placed against them. and the process has been expedited, and it's moving with quickness, and i'm very happy about. will: that's what i wanted to talk with you about, you and i have had long disagreement, this is horrific, it's an injustice, and more than that, it's a crime. when you see this, do you see the indictment of a few bad apples in a police department, individuals, or do you see something systemic, a problem here that needs to be addressed at a larger -- >> i definitely think it's systemic, but that doesn't mean that all police officers would do this. the systemic part comes in, is the fact that you had five police officers, nobody stops you. and so what we're looking at, of course there's a few bad apples. of course not every police officer would do this. of course this is a stay on the men in blue, people who have sworn -- can men and women --

who have sworn to protect and serve. but as a black man, what you're seeing is, is that when this kind of stuff happens, call 'em out. if you're going to stand by and do nothing, you're a part of the problem. if you're somebody that's wearing that blue uniform, you should feel just as bad if not worse towards those police officers who did this, because they stained you. they really impugned your integrity and what you stand for. and you just, you have to be just as diligent as you expect the american citizens and, dare i say, a jury of our peers to be. black folks put black folks in jail all the time. we do not hesitate. so what we want everybody else to do from different ethnicity, different communities is to do is -- the same. when you're wrong, you're wrong. deal with it on that level. will: do you see this in any way as an issue of race? >> i do in this regard, in terms of whas happened to the young black man. we don't see this happening to white individuals. now, if it has happened and we

haven't seen it, we haven't seen it. maybe hay need to show us more of that. but the reality of the situation is when you're talking about unarmed individuals who are getting beat up or brutalized by police officers, they're usually black men. in that the regard, that's the race issue. but with fredty gray in baltimore -- freddie gray in baltimore, it wasn't just white officers that did that -- will: right. >> there were black officers too. i'm talking about race from a victim's perspective, the victims are usually black, unarmed males. when that issue happens, when it's unarmed males, it's usually young black males that this happens to. will: is and how do you explain that? >> well, i think that from a systemic perspective we think about way black folks in this country are, the kind of messages that are disseminated to the masses about us, how we're depicketted plays a role -- depicted plays a role. and obviously, that doesn't mean there isn't some legitimacy on a case by case --

will: or broader, when an officer goes into a neighborhood, prevalence for crime -- >> exactly. will: a lot of that's playing into -- >> it plays into it all, and we understand that. at the end of the day, that's why training comes into play. i've never been a proponent of defunding the police. absolutely not. as far as i'm concerned, throw more money into law enforcement. except, you know, you do that so they can receive proper training and to make sure they know how to navigate their way through, just like dan bongino said a bit earlier. you're not trainedded to do what we saw transspire. will: no. >> those are guys that are rogue. highlight those individuals, but if you're a participant of the police force and you've been trained and you know to do better, then participant of your obligation is to -- part of your obligation is to stop your contemporaries, your colleagues from engaging in such heinous acts. the pact that nobody stopped it, we had just the five officers that were arrested. what about ourselves -- officers that came to the scene?

they did nothing. what about the emt workers? you were slow to address the concerns that were the clearly obvious. so when you see stuff like that happens, there's something systemic to it. i'm not an expert, i'm not going to pretend to be the, so i'm not going to go any further than that. but i'm looking at what most american people are looking at today. we're appalled, it's a heinous act. as far as i'm concerned, it should have been first-degree murder charges. they tortured and beat this kid to death. they have got to pay. will: you and i will continue this conversation and many more about your life, about "straight shooter," your rise to stardom at espn and beyond on the will cain podcast. i know you went live last night on the no mercy podcast, get unfiltered stephen a. which you always get and check out straight shooter as well, the memoir of your rise. >> appreciate it. will: good to see you again. all right, still ahead, the question remains about who could have accessed classified

(music throughout) get the royal treatment. join the millions playing royal match today. download now. ♪ pete: one republican senator says he is incredibly suspicious that one of hunter biden's e-mails may be based on classified information. ron johnson says a message from hunter to one of his business partners appears to contain

highly detailed information on ukraine. if closely resembling documents state department officials provided to members of congress. fox news contributor and new york post columnist, as rachel says, the great miranda devine, has followed this closely and joins us now with reaction. miranda, did he use classified information to get business? >> pete, i don't know for sure, but it certainly looks very suspicious, as ron johnson said. this is a very uncharacteristic e-mail for hunter biden on sort of the nine years of the laptop. this really stands out because it's so well written, it's so lengthy the, it's 1300 words, and it's so well informed and prescient. he talk as about the sort of geopolitical situation around ukraine and the gas industry, the energy industry. he talks about who's going to be

the upcoming crimean election, this is in 2014, and he's doing it all on the backdrop of his father going to ukraine to meet then-prime minister in one week's time and at a time when hunter biden is sort of auditioning for a role on the board of the ukrainian energy company burisma, which is going to, in one month it will appoint him to its board and pay him $83,000 a month. he needed the money, and so it was very important to him to make a good impression. so this e-mail certainly looks as if it comes from at least an official briefing if not a classified briefing. and we know, of course, that hunter biden had access to his father's garage where some of those classified documents were found and also lived off and on in the wilmington house with his parents. and there's one other thing that's on the laptop the so far

that i've found which is that hunter biden was also trying to sell information that looked, again, like it was the certainly not in the public domain and perhaps had classified information. he was trying to sell that to american companies for as much as $55,000 a pop. pete: it'll be interesting to see if house republicans can actually get to the bottom of this. at best, he's got privileged information he's using to audition for a job that pays a lot, and he's not qualified for. thank you for the work you're doing on this. we'll keep following it. want to get your take the also on ron klain, chief of staff officially stepped down from his position there at the white house. he's offering to help joe biden run for re-election. here's a a part of what ron klain said, watch. >> i will definitely, if the president decides to run for re-election, i will be part of his campaign team that. i'll do whatever i can to be helpful and to get him elected.
