presence, and so how do you stand up to china ultimately without threatening nuclear warfare? what options do we have? >> when you have a sovereign interest, defending them -- what about defending us in this moment? look forward to that. >> look at the southern border. our sovereignty gets punched every hour of every day. >> we look weak. >> under this administration. >> "america reports" now. >> you give him permission to steal your money? >> no. >> after june 7th, did his account run to negative $347,000? >> yes, sir. >> and the bank kept paying. >> yes, sir. >> perhaps the most generous overdraft policy ever seen. >> quite possibly. >> john: fox news alert, prosecutors in the alec murdaugh trial unveiling evidence of the dire financial state the disbarred attorney was in when he allegedly murdered his wife and son at his south carolina

hunting lodge. >> gillian: the judge in the case is deciding where some of the evidence of murdaugh's alleged crimes will be admissible for the jury to hear. phil holloway is going to break that down coming up, criminal defense attorney. >> we do know the balloon has violated u.s. air space and intern international law, it moves eastward over the continental of the united states. currently assess the balloon does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground at this time. >> john: fox news alert to start off this friday afternoon, no, it's not a weather balloon, not a civilian aircraft and definitely no mistake. the response from the pentagon in the last hour to china calling bluntly, chinese spying

in our air space. >> gillian: this is "america reports." secretary of state antony blinken was supposed to leave today for his own visit to china, high stakes diplomatic trip. he has indefinitely postponed the visit. the chinese foreign ministry admits it did originate in china but insist it's a civilian aircraft that's used for agricultural research. they also say they regret it has now flown into u.s. air space. the pentagon is firing back at the assessment a moment ago saying it was sent to collect intelligence on a key air force base in montana, that houses many of the nation's icbms. >> john: despite the brazen move to send the aircraft into u.s. air space, defense officials have advise president biden not to shoot it down, it has limited value and attempting to take it

out to lead to civilian casualties on the ground. >> john: jacqui heinrich how the president is responding, and jennifer griffin starts us off live at the pentagon. jen. >> john, u.s. defense officials tell us the balloon is moving east and has left montana air space. it was launched from mainland china, i'm told. brigadier general pat ryder moments ago. >> the balloon continues to most eastward and currently over the center of the continental united states. about as specific as i'm going to get. >> does the public not have a right to know? >> the public has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is. >> the pentagon does not believe it was a weather balloon that flew off course, despite apology from the chinese foreign ministry blaming a weather

event. there was no weather event that caused the chinese surveillance balloon to enter the u.s. air space, this was intentional, an official told me. flying ot 60,000 feet. u.s. does not fly spy planes or balloons over mainland china. questions about why the military advised the president against shooting down the chinese spy plane for now. one u.s. official said to me there's a lot of empty space in montana but also a lot of schools. it is not unpopulated. what happens when this balloon, which is carrying heavy equipment and is the size of at least two school busses lands on someone's home or on a kindergarten. the official added if we shoot it down, the balloon and the equipment on board will plunge to the earth at meteoric space. the possibility of civilian american casualties and collateral damage is the main reason the president opted not to shoot down the balloon for

now. the white house and pentagon still have options for bringing down the spy balloon when it is deemed safe to do so, perhaps once it is over a body of water. the u.s. government has been tracking this balloon for some time, was not surprised by its appearance over the u.s., but described the chinese action as bold. u.s. officials tell me they have mitigated the ability for this balloon to survey any sensitive sites, blocking it from doing so, and that they are learning a lot by monitoring the balloon. john. >> john: jennifer, thanks. >> gillian: coverage continues as president biden and the entire administration face growing concerns over their handling of china's violation of u.s. air space. jacqui heinrich is in philadelphia where the president is heading after ignoring questions about the balloon and china. this incident now straining the already tense relations between the u.s. and china. hi, jacqui. >> hey, gillian. yeah, one of the biggest things that came out of president biden's trip to bali for the g20

summit a few months back and the meeting with chinese president xi jinping was plans for secretary of state antony blinken to go to beijing. that was supposed to happen tonight, he was going to leave. and that is no longer happening. the state department says they have noted the prc's expression of regret over all of this, but they have also said that it's a clear violation of u.s. sovereignty and also international law. we are told an official did brief staff on the gang of 8 to bring this information to members of congress in an expeditious way but not fast enough or widespread enough for some of the president's republican critics. >> i can tell you the overwhelming majority of members of congress that i've spoken to in the last 24 hours had no idea about this. so, this administration again is the least transparent administration in the history of america. this is very concerning. >> the president this morning

gave remarks on the latest jobs report and tried hard to head off any questions about what the u.s. is or is not doing. >> so i'm heading off to philadelphia and if you want to ask me a question about the economy, but i'm not going to answer any questions about anything else because you never will cover this. >> mr. president -- do you take any blame -- >> i take blame for inflation, no. >> he ignored that question, why did he postpone secretary blinken's trip but pivoted off to talk about inflation. it is worth noting this is not the only recent incident we have had an intelligence gathering operation from an adversary off of the coast, but just about a week ago, a little over a week ago, january 20th or so, there was a russian spy ship off the coast of hawaii. at the time the officials downplayed the significance, said we know how to deal with it so we will be looking for an update on that one, too, in

light of this balloon incident. >> gillian: jacqui, thank you. >> john: retired general keith kellogg, security adviser to mike pence, and china saying oops, our bad, the agricultural balloon went astray. state department reacting, we have noted the people's republic of china statement of regret but the presence of this balloon in our air space is a clear violation of our sovereignty and international law and is unacceptable that this has occurred. meantime, we are just watching it float through american air space. what should we be doing about this? >> if i was in the white house recommending anything to the president, the previous administration, i think would be ordering chinese takeout about right now. look, when you look at that balloon and the package closely, the sensor package, that seems

about the size of a fire truck. it's massive. and people need to understand where that thing is moving to. it's going across the northwest moving to the south but the fact is it's going across all of our major missile fields out there. 340 first missile wing, 90th, 91, all the 400 missile sites are under it. and people don't realize the slant range on the sensors is huge, like ok, i'm on the first floor of a building, and different on the 50th floor of the building so we are looking deep and vacuuming information. the beauty that balloons give you, they can loiter, they can stay a long time, and so what they are doing, collecting information on us, and i think it's really unfortunate we have not done something about it. i mean, this is agregious, not like they are not just travelling say cross the southwest. these are going across the most sensitive sites that we have, our three missile wings out there, and the icbm field part

of the triad, and the fact we have not taken some type of heavy action against it we talked about is incredible to me. >> gillian: certainly does not seem to be a hurry to go anywhere, breaking news, a source in the government tells me the u.s. was aware of the balloon more than a month, possibly up to several months. how does that change our conception of what we are seeing right now? >> well, gillian, it shows inaction on part of the administration. this is like a test case. chinese are doing something and they are kind of pushing the boundary, where are we going to get in reaction to the united states and we used to do that all the time in the white house and when i was in the military, and checking people's response and resolve. and let's go this step, this step. is this a prelude like taiwan,

we can get away with doing more because we have not responded to this. >> gillian: trying to walk it back with the rhetoric or deescalate. the chinese. >> john: chinese, yeah, well -- they can try -- deescalate all they want. the pentagon says it's a military spy craft that's now travelling over our very sensitive military bases. so, nikki haley and mike pompeo have both weighed in on this. what nikki haley said. shoot down the balloon, cancel blinken's trip, hold china accountable. biden is letting china walk all over us. time to make america strong again, mike pompeo this. when we realized they are spying from houston, shut it down. they are growing bolder because of it. shoot down the ccp balloon safely and demand answers from xi. on that, shoot down the balloon safely, is it possible to send an f-22 up there, pop a few

holes in it with a 50cal and it comes down slowly. i don't expect it would explode if you did that, i mean, it would if you hit it with the missile and everything would come down at 32 feet per second squared, but is there a way to slowly deflate it? >> look, they just should knock it down. in montana, nine people per square mile. i mean, there's not a lot -- a lot of space out there, and when that was coming earlier, make the decision where and when to do it. if you knock it down, look at the sensor package, and this is thing -- it's not collecting and holding it, it's transmitting information back and every day it sits out there it's collecting information and sending it back. we don't know what it's collecting, don't know what it is out there, we do know it's collecting. >> john: we know it's not weather information. >> no, it's not, not at all. >> gillian: it's headed east at

some point, it will be over the ocean, why wouldn't they shoot it down then? is there any reason conceiveable reason for them not to do that then? >> it's a little bit late. it's not holding the information, it's transmitting constantly back to china. so by that time it's just let it go, now it becomes a weather balloon. shoot it down, get rid of it, knock it down early before it can send information back to china. right now, my concern, where it's collected that information is the most critical, over our missile fields. >> gillian: they would want to destroy it, wouldn't the u.s. want to destroy it? >> it's a little bit late, truly, you know, the horse has left the barn. my point is get it early. >> john: at the pentagon briefing they were suggesting it has limited capability after we buzzed it with a couple of raptors to transmit information. think they could have hit it with the emp, but technology we have, radio jamming or whatever

that they could have fried the circuits of this thing and new it's basically just a big box floating in the sky. >> there's a lot of things we could have done and listen to the pentagon briefing, what he was saying, if you believe what he was saying, i've got a good bridge to sell you in brooklyn. a lot of things we could have done. they should have thought about it well in advance, they could have picked up the drift pattern where it was going in the loiter and that's what balloon do, they loiter and drift slow, they didn't do it. >> gillian: we'll keep an eye on it for sure. >> john: see if anything is done. welcome back, by the way. >> good to be back. >> oh [bleep]. >> my friend is 14. >> john: shocking new video, a car carrying human smugglers goes airborne and wait until you hear how young the suspects are and how officials believe the cartels recruited them to

smuggle migrants. live at the border with more. >> gillian: plus, hunter biden's team of attorneys is creating some confusion in the ongoing laptop controversy. is this a new legal strategy or p.r. tragedy to help president biden. >> i'm glad we are confirming it was his. they knew it was his when they were briefing members of congress and the media saying it was russian disinformation. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells and sustain tissue health. ensure with twenty-five vitamins and minerals, and ensure complete with thirty grams of protein. think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no. he's making real-time money moves with merrill. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready. and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that.

>> gillian: hunter biden's legal team now is calling for criminal probes of his critics regarding the abandoned laptop alleged to belong to him. hunter's attorney is sending letters to federal and state prosecutors demanding

investigations saying his client's personal computer data was accessed and then distributed. hunter biden's attorney is not claiming the laptop belongs to him. andy mccarthy, former u.s. assistant attorney and fox news contributor. andy, we talked about this briefly yesterday but i think it bears revisiting if this laptop is not and was never the property of hunter biden, then why are his attorneys demanding this criminal probe on his behalf? >> the only way that it makes any sense, gillian, is if it's a public relations strategy because as a legal strategy they could not even have it hang together for 24 hours, you know. when they first sent these letters out they seemed to be a clear, i don't want to call it implied admission, it was an expressed admission that this data was hunter biden's personal property and when they realized

that that meant that he was basically acknowledging that the evidence was authentic and accurate and this is information that would put, you know, joe biden up to his neck in the interests of his son, they back pedalled and say no, it's not -- and claim prosecutions of people stealing the information from him does not make any sense anymore. they could not keep it together for a day and that suggested it was not a very well thought out public relations strategy, not a legal one. >> john: andy, i was of the mind it was his personal data but his legal team is saying just because it's his personal data does not mean it was his laptop. let's take a look at what the letters to the delaware attorney general said and what the statement from his attorneys said. first of all, abby lowell call

for number 3, write on behalf of our client, reason to believe violated delaware laws and copies and/or disseminating mr. biden's personal computer data. and says mr. mcisaac has gained it without mr. biden's consent. he has copied the data without mr. biden's consent. logically that would assume that the laptop was hunter biden's, yet lowell engages in pretzel logic saying these letters do not confirm mcisaac's or other versions of a so-called laptop. address the conduct of seeking, manipulating and disseminating mr. biden's personal data wherever they claim to have gotten it. you have to suspend disbelief to think there is not a laptop involved in here somewhere and the existence of the laptop is very important, like a law of

the sea if you leave your computer with the repair shop over an extended period of time it and the data on it becomes the property of the repair shop. >> gillian: also the law of the dry cleaners. >> john: yes, that, too. [laughter] >> very important. you've hit exactly on it, and how else could mac isaac gotten information, and we understand the facts, the case will have to be tried in court if we get it to court, but you know, the way they got the information was that hunter biden brought the laptop to mac isaac and he's got a signed receipt for that. but i do think, john, it's fair to say that to the extent that we are talking about as you say the pretzel logic, you know, the tortured path to how this information comes to light, every minute we spend on that we are not spending on the only

thing that's important, which is the information, and for purposes of national security and purposes of, you know, how much we could potentially be compromised based on some of the information that's on that laptop, they are succeeding in having us talk about, you know, this sort of nonsense rather than the real substance of what's in these emails and other documents. >> gillian: andy, just to kind of recenter this for a moment. the reason that this is a front page news story is because of investigations into the alleged connections between hunter biden's business dealings and his father who was formerly the vice president, now the president. that's the thread here that's of interest. that's the reason why we cover this story. >> yeah. in just one year's time, gillian, only a slice of what we are talking about, this chinese conglomerate called cefc, the

more we have found out about it the more it seems it was a chinese intelligence operation, they filled the biden family coffers with $6 million in just a one-year period. what matters here is what china thought it was buying by paying the biden family $6 million. how this all came to light is an interesting issue, but it's a very secondary one. >> john: all right. china really playing a dramatic role in the nation's business these days. andy mccarthy, thank you. dramatic video from texas d.p.s. shows teen smugglers, yes, teen smugglers lose control of an suv and fly up an embankment before crashing on to a crossing highway, look at that, the latest example of the dangers of smuggling at the border. bill melugin, how old were the drivers of that vehicle? >> john, believe it or not, these kids were ages 15 and 12,

and they were driving a stolen vehicle. they are from san antonio. we'll get right into that dramatic video. take a look, brand-new from texas d.p.s. i-35, they lose control of the vehicle, hit embankment and launched, the vehicle goes aircraft and then crashes on to i-35 with a migrant inside. texas d.p.s. rushes in to get into the car and rescue them. they initially pulled the 12-year-old passenger out first, minor injuries and then a badly bloody migrant who is critically injured, and after that, the 15-year-old driver. take a listen to some of the scenes of this crash. you can hear how young the boys were. >> 12, my brother is 14, my friend is 14. please, help me out. >> and again, both of those boys were u.s. citizens from the san

antonio area. law enforcement believes they were recruited to smuggle by cartels on social media. something that's becoming a huge problem down here at the southern border. pretty striking to see just how young those boys were. everybody survived, including that migrant. then we'll take you to another major problem, fentanyl pouring into the country. major bust out of border patrol san diego sector, agents as well as one of their canines seizing 250 pounds of fentanyl pills they found in a vehicle during a traffic stop. 57 packages of pills. enough to kill 30 million people in a street value of $3.4 million. border patrol reporting in the month of january they saw a 300% increase in fentanyl seizures compared to the same time last year. lastly, take a look at this mug shot. border patrol in the miami sector, reporting on all these boat landings in the key west area, they just arrested this

man, a honduran man, previously deported felon in the key west area, interpol notice, red alert notice on him for attempted murder in honduras, so that is one of the guys they just nabbed landing in the key west area. back out here live, everything we just showed goes to show you it's not just the southern border getting activity. boat landings in the miami sector up 400% since october 1st. then the northern border, border patrol in vermont and new hampshire reporting in the last three months alone they have arrested more illegal immigrants than they did in the last two years. we'll send it back to you. >> john: bill, quick question. are the cartels recruiting juveniles because they face lesser charges than an adult? >> that's exactly right. i'm told in this case with this crash, the 15-year-old driver is charged with felony evading and human smuggling. unclear if the 12-year-old will be charged. hit the nail on the head. you know they are not going to get as many penalties because of their young age.

>> john: bill, thank you. >> gillian: the murder trial of disbarred attorney alex murdaugh resuming without a jury as the judge weighs whether to allow in crucial evidence over murdaugh's alleged financial crimes. which way is the judge likely to rule? we have criminal defense attorney phil holloway here to weigh in. >> john: republicans demanding president biden respond over the chinese balloon, and they call it a test whether he can stand up to chinese aggression. >> we don't want this to happen again, shoot it down on the way home. over mountains or when it gets back out at sea.

murdaugh trial, looking at the financial motive of the murders of his wife and son. the judge is still deciding whether to let the evidence into the actual trial. complete coverage now, criminal defense attorney phil holloway is standing by with thoughts on this. but first, jonathan is live in our southeast bureau and jonathan, how important are these financial allegations to the overall murder case? >> well, prosecutors are hoping that they can convince the jury that alec murdaugh killed his wife and son to distract from financial crimes which they say were catching up with him, especially on the day that the murders were committed. without the jury in the courtroom for most of the morning, the judge listened to the testimony from these potential witnesses, including a banker who discussed murdaugh's unpaid loans. >> did his account run to negative $347,000?

>> yes, sir. >> and the bank kept paying. >> yes, sir. >> perhaps the most generous overdraft policy ever seen. >> among alleged financial crimes, accused of pocketing millions in insurance settlement money intended for the family of his long time housekeeper gloria satterfield. she died in 2018 after murdaugh claims she tripped over the dog on the front steps of his home. he allegedly helped the woman's family but deposited the money in a bank account with his name followed by the word forge. >> had he ever told you there was an umbrella policy for $5 million. >> no. >> he mention to you anything about forge? >> no. >> did he mention anything to you about structuring any settlement? >> no. did you give him permission to steal your money? >> no. >> the judge has yet to rule on whether any of these witnesses will be allowed to testify before the jury, which reentered

the courtroom just after 11:30 this morning. the defense argues that murdaugh's alleged financial crimes have no bearing on the double murder trial. john. >> john: jonathan, thank you. gillian. >> gillian: let's bring in phil holloway, criminal defense attorney also a former assistant defense attorney, excuse me, assistant district attorney out of georgia. what do you make of the snapchat video we saw yesterday, murdaugh was shown in one set of clothes hours before the murders, talking about the video where he's standing outside, he's surrounded by trees. and then when he's interrogated he's wearing a different set of clothes. >> yeah, good afternoon, gillian. great to be with you. listen, that snapchat video and frankly i think the other cell phone video taken by the son who is the victim are going to be big pieces of this.

obviously the prosecutor is setting the stage to show that alec murdaugh was acting with this knowledge of guilt, ok. that he -- he knew that he had done something wrong and so he was taking these steps to hide his criminal behavior. he didn't have a whole lot of physical evidence such as blood or dna on his person such that he would have probably had had he done what he said which was to check on the victims and check on the bodies, ok. he had none of that on him as you would expect, so the prosecutor is saying that he changed his clothes in an effort to throw law enforcement off his trail and by extension, to throw the jury off the correct trail according to the prosecutor. >> gillian: it's an interesting tactic. take a listen to this, phil, call for number one, exchange between the prosecution and palmetto bank ceo on murdaugh's financial misfeasance.

>> let's say if it had come out from 2010 up to june of 2021, or at any time that alec murdaugh had been stealing money from his partners or stealing money from his clients, would this bank have continued to loan him money? >> no, sir. >> gillian: what do you make of that? >> listen, certainly lots of dirty laundry that could be aired if the jury is allowed to hear this. listen, we don't generally want to try people based on their general bad character or based on other crimes that they may have committed. we want the crimes they are in court for to stand or fall on the merits of their own legs. but, an exception to that. if these prior crimes or prior bad acts are relevant to show motive, then they can be admissible even if they make the defendant look like a really, really bad person. now, i think the judge is going to let some of this in, it's

consistent with the prosecutor's reasonable and rational theory he committed the murders to hide his other crimes so that's reasonable. then the question is how much of it is going to come in. we have heard a lot of information and the judge does not have to let all of it, i don't think he will let all of it. the reason we are hearing the detailed testimony so the judge can make an informed decision in the first instance, but then fast forward to the possibility of appeal in the event of an conviction, all of this is being taken down, it's in the record and there for the appeals court to look at in the event there is a conviction down the road. but the jury is certainly going to i think get the benefit of some of this because it is very consistent with the prosecutor's stated motive in the case. >> gillian: which way do you think the judge should rule on this particular -- >> i think he should let it in. the rules will allow it to come in. he might put some limits on it,

this far, you have stuff with the law firm, you have thefts from clients allegedly, you've got everything related to the death of the housekeeper, you know, he's also had this other bizarre incident where he was, he faked a murder-suicide, right, so the question is how much of this does the judge let in. if he let in too much of it, the danger is the jury will convict him because they hate him for other stuff and not on the basis of the merits of the case. >> gillian: phil, we have to leave it there. thank you for taking time this afternoon. >> john: news alert from the white house, moments ago president biden left to board marine 1 as he leaves for philadelphia. he does not acknowledge the many questions reporters shout, most about the chinese spy balloon. >> oh, come on. come on. one question. are you worried about the balloon?

ourselves from at least our food supply and energy supply and critical mineral supply and pharmaceutical supply chains from china we have not learned anything. >> the communist nation also processes about two-thirds of the lithium and other elements that go into batteries for electric vehicles, phones, and other electronics. ford ceo jim farley is sounding the alarm on that. >> even if the raw materials are secured outside china, they are processed there. >> china owns a small but growing percentage of u.s. farmland, and concerns over tiktok still because users here in the united states of that popular app could be handing over their data to china by way of the chinese parent company of tiktok, bite dance. john. >> john: grady trimble, thank

you. gillian. >> gillian: breaking a moment ago in california. a sheriff says they have arrested two suspects for the heinous cartel style murders of six at a california home last month. it turned out to be a growing gang war between two rival factions. >> in the beginning i mentioned it was a cartel-like shooting and as you can imagine, this is what it appears to be. investigation began to tighten from all across the state of california, all the way down into the central valley and we quickly learned it was right here at home. rivalry gangs, we have all heard of many, many times. the two members of the perez family, the victims' family, were well-known validated sernos gang members in the down of goshen, predominantly held by

the norteno gang. >> gillian: the victims of the massacre included a teenage mother and her 10-month-old baby nicholas. william has breaking details from l.a. hi, william. >> basically two gangs are loosely associated with the two rival mexican cartels, and as the sheriff just said, the nortenos basically own goshen, so to speak, and the two rival gang members were in this house, january 16th a shootout occurred. there was a 911 call where you can actually hear the woman saying my boyfriend has been shot in the stomach, can you come help, and she's trying to keep him conscious while he's falling in and out. and also video -- there are the two gunmen. and there is the woman. what you are going to see, she just dropped a baby over the fence. you will see her, that's the

10-month-old child. that woman is 16 years old, jumps the fence, a gang member and he shoots her there. those were two of the six individuals killed that day, on january 16th. had two shooters under surveillance for basically the last two weeks, until they were able to make their move. today not only did the sheriff, but also the d.a., tim ward, really came down hard on governor newsom. they want to pursue the death penalty here, governor newsom has suspended the death penalty. the sheriff indicated a conversation with governor newsom saying listen, we have done our job, it's now your turn to do yours and lift that. but nevertheless, the video is basically surveillance video of the shooting that happened several weeks ago and six people are dead as a result of it. this morning a shoot outwith one gang member, alive and in the hospital in stable condition. the other individual turned himself in. that's the status as we speak.

back to you. >> john: william, thank you. a strong jobs market with hiring up sharply in january as unemployment hits near rock bottom, 3.4%, the lowest rate since 1969. mark short is the executive director of the coalition to protect american workers, former chief of staff to vice president mike pence and we have had conversations. so this jobs report for january, you know, expectations were for 187,000 jobs created, it was 517,000, we'll put the figure up on the screen. that's stunning. >> it's a big jobs report. certainly good news for the biden administration, frankly, john. >> john: good news for the country. >> it is, the fed has been continuing to raise interest rates, we have inflation at a 40-year high and the number will only encourage them to raise interest rates and i think the challenge, you know, moving forward, at what point have we

reached the point fiscal storm system has exceeded where we need it, and we have crossed that path at this point. there's been so much fiscal and monetary stimulus and after three years of the pandemic, continuing to get federal and state aid to stay home, that's drying up. they are getting back into the labor force, which is good. >> gillian: president biden touted his planning, said he's known this is where we were going to end up all along. his words and your reaction. >> for the past two years we have heard critics write off my economic plan. they said it's not possible to de grow the economy from the bottom up. but this is crystal clear what i have known in my gut the critics are wrong. >> the president also said he inherited the inflation mess. it was at 1.4% when he became president. rose up to 9% and a 40-year

high. i think the policies are a lot of fiscal problems moving forward and now $32 trillion in debt. unsustainable, the first time we have 100% debt to gdp since world war ii. and that was different, you were coming out of the war and you can expect growth. we have an enormous amount of debt and no pathway, no solution to get it under control. >> john: documents, the fbi apparently at some point in the near future is going to be searching mike pence's house in indiana after a box that contained classified documents was discovered. he says there's no more classified documents there, so likely will not find any, according to him, but also previously said he did not have any classified documents. what he told rich edson. >> this was an unfortunate development. i think it's important that our office simply cooperate fully in

any investigation by either the department of justice, the archives or the congress of the united states and we are determined to do that. >> john: do you see any difference between this case and the biden case? >> i do. i see actually a growing double standard at the department of justice, john. the vice president cautioned counsel to review boxes at his house, they found some documents. and the transition from the white house was not a normal transition, so after january # he was left to pack up the residence and accepted responsibility for that. he provided the information quickly to the archives and the department of justice. and archives, it's our job to come collect them. scheduled a date the following week to collect them, bring them back to d.c., review them and the archives determines if anything is still classified. if it is, doj knows about it. and that's what happened with

president biden. instead, they sent fbi to his house when he was here for the march of life. it is a double standard. and when the vice president's lawyer was on the phone with the department of justice to talk about a consensual search, we had camera crews at the vice president's house and office because the department of justice was leaking that information at the very moment. it's not the way they treat the situation with joe biden. so yeah, i think that republicans have created a committee to say we are concerned about the politization of the department of justice and it continues to this day. >> gillian: quick last question for you. looking forward from this mess, i think the priority for most americans is this gets sorted out and also this, you know, the nation's secrets are protected by the president and the vice president in the future, what's your top recommendation for that process? it's being reviewed now, what would you like to see happen? >> i think our internal office did an exhaustive search, that as many records as possible are turned over to the archives.

i suspect if there is more discovery you will find other previous administration's also had documents that ended up getting away. >> john: mark, great to see you. >> thank you. good to see you, gillian. thank you. >> gillian: keep our eyes on the chinese spy balloon flying over u.s. air space, a sports league is under fire for being cozy with the chinese communist party. and we will ask brian kilmeade if companies will be held accountable. and more from mike gallagher and rebecca grant, and shannon bream as we roll into a new hour. or more - can be overwhelming. so, ask your doctor about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they even start. it's the #1 prescribed branded chronic migraine
