9:00 am
9:01 am
9:02 am
>> we're calling this an object, that's the best description, we don't know who owns it whether it's state owned for corporate owned or privately owned. we don't know that. >> it was flying on a north easterly course over the state of alaska before being shot down. it appears that satellites failed to detect it, normally used to detect missile launches and aircraft inside russia and china. we don't know the origin of the object, second time in less than a week, the u.s. military has destroyed an aircraft over the united states. it was only seen on radar thanks to the array of ground based radar. >> norad gets it from the air force. our air force today is the oldest, the smallest, and the least ready it's ever been in its entire history.
9:03 am
>> the object was shot down over prudhoe bay in alaska, home to the largest oil field in america. alicia: lucas tomlinson live, thank you. mike: reacting to the latest reaction of a shootdown over the united states, some raising concern about the security of the u.s. air space. let's go to alexandria hoff. >> good to be with you. they want to assure the american public that the air space is under lock especially after the spy craft incident and revelations after air space breaches. and roger wicker says he's glad it was shot down before traversing the continental u.s. as the spy craft did before it was taken down over the atlanta a week ago. >> the officials were patting themselves on the back for the professional and studied way that they had handled the
9:04 am
situation, letting it go, the length of alaska, but back into the continental united states and all the way to the atlantic. so i'm glad that it's clear that they're not going to use this sort of procedure again. >> senator wicker is ranking member on senate armed services committee which democratic senator tim kaine is on as well. he weighed in and said the recent pushed securing air force security to the forefront. >> you can be sure both in foreign relations and armed service the committee as we shape the defense bill throughout the spring, incidents like this are going to get a lot of attention and especially to make sure that we're making the investments that we need to keep everyone safe. >> now, alaska's governor put out a statement rising concerns saying these recent incidents may be indicating it could be the new norm. alaska in the position it is, vulnerable as it is in terms of location, we have to be able to
9:05 am
be ready quick. mike: sounds like they're on the front lines, alicia. alicia: efforts are underway off the coast of south carolina to recover the bayload -- payload from the chinese spy balloon. bad weather is hampering the recovery. bryan llenas, hi, bryan. >> the salvation has been temporarily suspended due to rough water conditions. a gale warning is under effect, wind up to 50 miles per hour. locating the debris and recovering the debris, a significant portion of the payload attached to the chinese spy balloon has been located and mostly intact. the payload about the size of a regional jet where a lot of the electronics are located.
9:06 am
naval divers are said to have recovered high value equipment, but most of the spy air shift remains underwater 50 feet below the atlantic. sonar and unmanned vehicles have been brought in to mep map and recover debris on the ocean floor. >> depending on the size of the debris, they're able to tag it. so debris that can be brought up quickly, brought up, put on a vessel and taken to shore. debris that's going to take more time and again, especially given the current sea states, it may take longer. we know where it is so we tag it and we'll go back and eventually recover that and bring it up. >> the fbi is cataloging and decontaminating the debris. so far debris found on the surface, including a limited amount of electronics, wiring, as well as the balloon canopy have been sent to the fbi lab in quantico for analysis. fox news can confirm the chinese spy balloon included western made parts with english writing on them and this comes,
9:07 am
alicia, as the biden administration has announced new bans against five chinese companies and one research institute with connections to the chinese spy balloon program and which is actually operated by the people's liberation army. alicia. alicia: bryan llenas, live in myrtle beach, south carolina. good to see you. mike: we're joined by the michigan congresswoman debbie dingell, serves on the natural resources committee, and congresswoman, welcome. >> mike, good to be with you. mike: what's your reaction to the object shot down over northeast coast of alaska, now the second object in a week. >> so, mike, i have several reactions to this. i think that we saw that, we all need to be concerned about what is flying in our air space. i think we all need to worry about our national security and take very seriously what's happening in the world right now. we need to ask a lot of questions and i think i'm the
9:08 am
proudest of on friday, when we left, the u.s. house voted unanimously on a resolution on china and i think that's a positive sign because i do not believe these kind of situations can be partisan. a lot of people wondered why it took so long to shoot down the balloon. it has been explained it was at a different height and where it went down, it's much more retrievable and also a much larger object and could have damaged people below. the object, which we don't know because we've still got to do the research, was smaller than the balloon was, it was shot down because it was deemed a potential threat to commercial air space and i think one, it shows that our military men and women are doing the job they've got to do to keep us safe. it's raising a lot of questions and we need to make sure that we're investing in the equipment and the kind of things that we need to keep our own homeland safe. mike: how concerned are you--
9:09 am
are you by reporting that on the initial spy craft that was shot down a week ago, that there was english writing on it. are you concerned that it may have been produced by an american company? >> i am. i mean, i think we've got to look at all of these relationships and i think we've got to get a lot more information. we've got to get the facts. they are going to retrieve as much of this balloon as they can and study it, but we need to make sure that we are protecting ourselves. we've got to get the facts and, but we do know that -- we need to watch what china is doing in this country. we all know that and i hope that we will work in a very nonpartisan way on keeping this country safe. mike: okay, so the republican majority in the house doing some oversight hearings this week. one concerning what they consider the weaponization of government.
9:10 am
your reaction to that hearing and some of the recent oversight hearings being held in the house of representatives? >> well, i'm going to tell you, unfortunately, i think a weaponization word is a good word. you sought the hearings that happened last week, they, on the twitter hearing, they went after them, trying to accuse them that there had been politicalization and the facts that they got were that it was actually people were trying to politicize it to help the president, and would have been nice to have seen twitter do far more than keep january 6th from happening. i believe that oversight is legitimate, but right now, there -- the weaponization is a good word because they're trying to do partisan investigations to embarrass a variety of people. i believe the american people are tired of partisan bickering. they do not want to see these kind of hearings that aren't resulting in any facts and they want to see us work on things like keeping the country safe from chinese balloons. mike: but you, i'm sure, have
9:11 am
heard from some conservative constituents who think there may be two different standards of justice, whether that's true or not. isn't it critical for all americans to feel like it's equal justice under the law? >> i think it's very important that everybody feel like there's equal justice under the law, and i think oversight is legitimate, but the hearings you saw last week produced no new facts and in fact, they led the information that showed politicalization to information on january 6th. showed that twitter was helping donald trump spread some of his information. i hope that people are hearing that because i think that's an important point. i don't like weaponization as a word because we're weaponizing-- what we're trying to do is take facts and weaponize them and we need to do oversight. my husband was one of the greatest oversight champions in the history of this country, but we need to do it in a fair and balanced and get the facts
9:12 am
way. mike: congresswoman debbie dingell, the great state of michigan, thanks for your time. have a wonderful weekend. >> thanks, mike, you, too. alicia: from the other side of the aisle we're joined by republican congresswoman from florida, a member of the house oversight and accountability committee, anna paulina luna and also serves on the house's natural resource committee. congresswoman, thank you for being here. first, i'd like your thoughts on the shootdown of the aerial object and the administration's handling of it. >> you know, i'm glad the balloon is down and i'm sure it's not the first time it's happened. it's disturbing mainly because of the fact that china did threaten us after we shot down the first balloon, and also to these-- and balloons are gathering electronic information and i want to remind people we saw the balloon take place only after our f.a.a. system went down not only here, but also in canada. so, i believe that china's currently engaging in some form of cyber warfare, from a
9:13 am
national security perspective we have to understand that china is a number one threat to this country. alicia: per our reporting, we're still awaiting details on the-- on where this object originated, but i want to change gears here because on friday, "the washington post" came out with a profile piece calling into question a number of items in your biography and the post has already issued one correction after it claimed you were once registered as a democrat in washington state. further, it brings up your given last night meyer hoffer, by the time she ran as a republican she changed her last name to luna in what she said was an homage to her mother's family. quote, luna's sharp turn to the right, account of isolated and improverished high school and embrace of her spanish heritage has come as a surprise before her ascent to the u.s. house.
9:14 am
congresswoman the suggestion there that you embrace your hispanic haeir taj there, being a latino-- >> i'm sorry, you broke up on your question. can you hear me on your end? >> yes, we can. >> now, washington post also issued a second retraction this morning after falsely claiming that i wasn't even a part of a police report during a break-in and they'll be correcting that further and our attorneys are in talks, but i found the entire undertone of this article was extremely racially charged and i saw that for a few reasons. one they did a similar piece against senator tim scott basically undermining his blackness and blackness in america and the source,that they used yesterday alone went up and publicly discredited "the washington post" and their reporting, so that this is an embarrassing hit piece that's essentially back fired, but i want to be very clear about something.
9:15 am
the largest voting minority in this country now are hispanic americans of mexican descent. i happen to be a mexican american, i love my country and i'm a veteran. they didn't get the story out or truth or they did it for political power and i'm not going to let them win that argument. alicia: thank you, we wanted your word on that. as i mentioned earlier you sit on the house oversight and accountability committee which held hearings this week on the hunter biden laptop on twitter's role in suppressing the story. los angeles times opinion piece, a democratic strategist and oversight committee wrote the american people have no appetite fort taxpayer financed witch hunt. most of the voters who pulled levers for republicans couldn't care less about a member of the first family who doesn't even serve in the government, they're far more concerned about the economy and inflation, but congresswoman, a january fax news poll found that 61% of registered voters
9:16 am
support congress investigating the president's son. do you think that american are paying attention to the details of this hearings? >> most certainly. and i'm going to have to respectfully disagree with the gentle woman from michigan with her opinion how we conducted last week's oversight. i went after and exposed roth as well as twitter's joint state actor and coordination with a division of homeland security as well as left leaning organizations also potentially being connected to the dnc. you know, this argument that we are not and we're weaponizing this, the fact is that big tech on a number of occasions has been helping a political party and it hasn't been the republican party, but none of less, my biggest concern is ensuring that every american, whether you're a democrat, a republican, or an independent, have access and free speech in this country and when you have the federal government working with a private entity to suppress your right for freedom of speech.
9:17 am
that's wrong. we'll be getting to the bottom of it. as you saw in the hearing we exposed the facts and we'll continue to do just that on house oversight. alicia: congresswoman anna paulina luna. thank you so much. >> thank you, god bless. alicia: thank you. tomorrow on fox news sunday, shannon bream sits down with arizona governor katie hobbs, check your local listings for time and channel and media buzz, kellyanne conway joins howard kurtz, breaking down donald trump and liabilities as a 2024 candidate. that's 11 a.m. eastern on fox news channel. mike: border patrol chief speaks out to griff on the uptick in chinese nationals illegally crossing into the u.s. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function.

9:21 am
9:22 am
mission, texas with the latest on these details. good afternoon, griff. griff: yeah, mike, the numbers are well down from december by nearly 100,000, but higher lan last year and the border patrol chief raul ortiz here in the rgv for a change of ceremony for the new chief in this sector, spoke to us exclusively yesterday. we talked about the numbers, the rise chinese migrants and challenges they face going forward, listen. >> i suspect the number is going to be around 130,000 or so on for the border patrol, that's a significant decrease in what we saw last year and we were able to decrease the got-aways numbers significantly. those are the numbers that we want to trend in the right direction. when you think about what we're experiencing right now, we're seeing migration flows from 160 different countries. when i start this had job 32 years ago, we saw migrants mainly from central america, mexico, and to some degree
9:23 am
south america, but we've seen them from all over the world. you've got chinese, a huge increase it appears across the border right now. >> yeah, we've seen a spike in chinese nationals. that's anywhere between, a little around 3,000 so far this fiscal year, compared to the same time last year, i think over 300, like i said, we continue to monitor that traffic and our agents are doing a pretty good job. most are family units and our family is doing a good job of interdicting them and processing them. griff: you're losing aerostat and the eyes in the sky. and how do you need those tools. >> they're so we can make the interdictions on the immediate border area, it's certainly an advantage for us. we're going to try to do everything to fund those as long as we can and we need more agents out there. i think that 22,000 agent mark
9:24 am
is probably sufficient for us to function in and along the border environment. you'll have men and women out there in green, and men and women representing other organizations and agencies working closely to make sure these borders r safe and secure and we're doing everything we can to address the migrant flows across the southwest border. griff: and mike, the chief worries about the surveillance technology that the cartels use like drones from the mexican side. they were actually flying one this morning. i was out with texas dps and the agents there were able to recover, to capture a mexican cartel drone. we're working to get exclusive photos for you. we'll bring that to you in the next hour. mike: griff, i know our viewers know that your home away from home is the texas-mexican border. you've spent a lot of time down there. we're in year three, i'm wondering how your sources are
9:25 am
holding up to the stress as they try to do their jobs at the border. griff: well, you know, mike, i think earlier this week when the tucson sector chief john modlynn testified before the house committee. he said a year ago it was unprecedented and he doesn't have a word to describe what is happening now. when i first came down in march of 2021, the first border beat we had in this current administration and it was out of control and it's only gotten worse. now, traditionally the numbers come down in the colder months. it's windy and cold right now and the administration says they've got this new asylum patrol parole program that bring the numbers down. and hopefully the numbers will come down, as the chief said. but if they don't stop the en masse catch and release of migrants the last two years, only time will tell if things get better. mike: griff live in mission, texas. thanks very much.

9:30 am
800-630-8900. that's 800-630-8900. >> the pentagon is now working to recover debris from the high altitude object that was shot down over alaska. the recommnants landed on ice, t with extreme wind chills in the next hours and 20 below temperatures. an f-22 fighter jet was sent to shoot the object down once it was determined to be unmanned. this follows the downing of a chinese spy craft last weekend off the coast of south car carolina. alicia: you are looking at live images from rescue efforts in turkey. turkish president confirming the number of people killed in the massive earthquake that rocked parts of turkey and
9:31 am
syria earlier this week has now climbed to more than 25,000. our senior foreign correspondent greg palkot is on the ground in turkey where freezing temperatures are further complicating rescue and relief efforts, greg. >> alicia, the full scale of this disaster continues to emerge. yes, that death toll seems to mount by the hour. officials saying 80,000 are in hospitals across the region with injuries from the earthquakes and one turkish government saying the destruction force 500 atomic bombs, equivalent to that. and they say it's the biggest in the region in 100 years. we're five and a half days out and there are still rescue successes. one family of five was found in one town, but the turkish president's erdogan government is under a lot of fire for its response. we caught up with him today and
9:32 am
we put that to him. critics say that you haven't done enough, prepared, and people are dying and they need more help. >> these are deaths, of course, this is an earthquake. >> could you have done more? >> there are injured people, we are trying to solve the problems. >> in fact, the government is providing help and in several ways. for example, the emergency housing you see behind us for earthquake victims. we had a chance to take a look around earlier today, take a look. >> the earthquakes have put thousands of people out of their home and why the turkish government are setting up tent cities like this throughout the region to help out and there are many more people without homes and that's why officials are rushing to cope. people are here because their homes have either been destroyed or damaged or just worried about the many aftershocks creating more threats. it's basic, but there's shelter, some heat, food, water, essentials, and companionship.
9:33 am
for young and old, entire families. the folks here still reeling from this most horrible event of a lifetime. one person we spoke with said that, in fact, 15 members of his extended family throughout the region had been killed. this tragedy is touching just about everyone here and it continues to get more grim. back to you, alicia. alicia: and greg, we thank you and your crew for continuing to be on the ground and bringing us these images and these stories, just incredible. greg palkot, thank you, mike. mike: for more on this, let's bring in our next guest. here in the studio with us, the ambassador to the u.s., mr. ambassador, welcome. >> thank you. mike: americans have been watching this very closely all week. what's the latest on this terrible tragedy and what's the biggest need for turkey right now? >> of course, first of all, let me thank all the american people who have been extending
9:34 am
their help in kind donations and otherwise donations, the american administration, you know, all of them in the united states trying to help one way or the other. you must see our embassy is full of boxes and incoming donations. i think that right now is said on the video, the main need is tents, winter tents, you know, like 175 square foot tent. we need and we will get it and send it back to the turkey. and also, you know, we need to look from the longer perspective all of these people need shelter, all of these people need, you know, you know, emergency help, food, everybody on the ground is
9:35 am
working and of course, as said, individual, again, you know, this kind of disaster hasn't been seen in the region for over a hundred years and it's equivalent to 500 tons of atomic bomb. it incredible. it's incredible and the thing that made it worse is because there are two earthquakes, one after the other. the first at 4:00 in the morning, 4:20 in the morning, with 7.7 richter scale magnitude, and then the second one, after nine hours, in the same place, 7.6 magnitude. so it's not a single earthquake, but it's aftershocks, two earthquakes apart. so, it's further devastating and people were caught while they were sleeping, you know. so many people were in their houses and over 7,000 houses
9:36 am
destroyed, completely destroyed and also over 80,000 people wounded. mike: usaid is on the ground as they go to disasters when they happen, emergency response people, equipment, that sort of thing. how important is that response? >> it's extremely important. you know, because especially search and rescue team during the initial phase of disaster is absolutely important because one person's life if saved is quite a lot. mike: sure. >> so we've been seeing scenes from the site that, you know, search and rescue teams are trying to bring people out of, there are kids, small kids, 2-month-old kid recently after so many, and rescue teams are important. the united states extending help immediately right after the earthquake and sending over 170 people with all the
9:37 am
equipment there, also, kitchen, the kitchen is working right now. field hospital, not only the government is helping, but also at the same time all the ngo's, people are helping. mike: i noticed -- i know greece and turkey have a legendary rivalry, but i've also noted greek rescue crews alongside turkish rescue crews. and images of pain along with images that give hope. the rescue teams, greeks and turks are fighting side by side to save lives, we're grateful for them what they did. what about greek neighbors helping turkish neighbors during this terrible crisis. >> look, neighbors immediately help each other and reach out
9:38 am
disaster, whatever the sorrow is, so the greek people and turkish people there has always been excellent cooperation relationship, you know. we have been living together with the same culture, the same music, the same everything and sorrow when earthquake took place in athens, we are there, and then we hit trouble, we are -- i mean, they're there helping us. and so, i mean, this is typical, you know, your neighbors reach out to you first, before then, you're, you know, other people reaching out, you support that and very happy. at the same time indebted to greek help and we really hope that from now on, you know, we have better understanding each other and at the same time, let me tell you one thing if
9:39 am
possible, of course, we want this terrible earthquake to be hurt, as many people in the united states, i asked super bowl commissioner or nfl commissioner do something, just the second remembrance of something, we really appreciate it, because it's human tragedy, it's probably never hurt for a long time. never having helped in the past. mike: mr. ambassador, our condolences to the turk ishg people, and we'll pray for a miracle. alicia: and alex murdaugh's housekeeper had a conversation with him about his clothes on the day of the murder of his wife and so details next. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it!

9:44 am
>> week three of the murdaugh murder trial bringing a series of events, a bomb threat and prosecutors presented new evidence such as cell phone data and more and alex's crimes. >> hello, mike. the prosecution says it expects to wrap up by this coming wednesday and the strategy has been two-pronged. on the one hand trying to use largely circumstantial evidence it place alec murdaugh at the scene of the crime like the video his son paul recorded minutes before his death. multiple family friends have testified that they can hear alec murdaugh's voice in the background. another video shows the defendant himself wearing different clothes just before the murders than the clothes he was seen wearing when he responded to the police responding to 911 murdaugh's
9:45 am
housekeeper testified two months after the crime are, the department made a point of telling her he wore a different shirt the day of the crime than the one she remembered. >> mr. alec came over and inquiring of you what shirt he had on that day, is that correct? >> it didn't feel like he was inquiring, it felt more like he was trying to convince me of the shirt he was wearing. >> the other part of the prosecution strategy, that murdaugh killed his wife and son to distract and delay investigations into allegations that he was stealing money. and his boat crash that killed mallory beech subjected murdaugh to a multi-million dollar lawsuit that threatened to expose his finances, a month after paul and maggie's murders, a family friend gave alec a ride to the airport and says the defendant mentioned the lawsuit. >> he said that he would like
9:46 am
to clear paul's name. >> and do what? and beat the boat case? >> beat the boat case. >> now with paul gone he's talking he can beat the boat case. >> that's correct. >> this is a month after the murder? >> that's correct. >> during cross examination, murdaugh's attorneys pointed out that in that conversation the defendant was talking about his son's reputation and wanting to preserve it and not obsessing on the family finances, mike. >> jonathan serrie reporting live. jonathan, many thanks. alicia. alicia: and mike, for more on the murdaugh murder trial, senior fellow at heritage foundation and former prosecutor, thank you for being here. part of alec murdaugh's defense that he was with his mother, who suffers from dementia, at the time of the murders, but we saw in john's report that the video that his son recorded that had voices in the background and three witnesses stated in court that they heard
9:47 am
alec murdaugh in the background. take a listen. >> the three voices on that video are the voices of paul murdaugh, maggie murdaugh, and alec murdaugh. >> how sure are you? >> i'm 100% sure. >> what voices did you hear. >> paul, miss maggie and mr. alec. >> and how positive are you? >> 100%? >> that's correct. >> whose voices did you recognize, paul murdaugh, maggie murdaugh, alec murdaugh. >> how sure are you? >> 100%. >> with all that they're hearing, how impactful are the three witnesses? >> i think the very impactful. i think the alibi defense is starting to unravel and another piece of evidence introduced this week was the caregiver for alec's murder and said to the police after he called 911 and reported the murder that he had
9:48 am
