we really don't want people to think of feeding food like ours is spoiling their dogs. good, real food is simple. it looks like food, it smells like food, it's what dogs are supposed to be eating. ♪ >> good afternoon, happy saturday to you from a very snowy washington here. the nation's capital getting hit by a flurry after 70 degree weather 24 hours ago, griff. a wild ride as we kick off the first hour of fox news live. welcome. a key indicator showing inflation is surging at its fastest pace since last summer while the white house maintains that the u.s. is making progress when it comes to soaring prices. and all of this new data

prompting concerns now that the fed could keep raising those interest rates well into this year. welcome to fox news live, i'm aishah hasnie, hi, griff. griff: i'm griff jenkins. and it's great to be with you. and the biden administration is facing scrutiny over the massive amount of spending over ukraine. lucas tomlinson is on the snowy white lawn of the white house kicking things off for us. >> high inflation is reducing savings nationwide and producing more credit card debt coupled with higher interest rates. many americans are feeling the squeeze and we don't have to tell the viewers, we feel it every day. let's look at the new inflation index that just came out. this is the personal consumption price index, the feds preferred gauge of inflation. and it rose and beating analyst expectations roughly 4% increase and annual rate 5.4%, as you mentioned the first

inflation in inflation data since it peaked in june making some wondering if fed is behind in inflation fight. and president biden reacting a statement reads in part. today's report shows we've made progress on inflation, but we have more work to do. of course, it's the one year anniversary of russia's war on ukraine and $2 billion weapons and ammunition to ukraine. not on the list, fighter jets. >> he does note need f-16's. >> never? >> there's no base ises upon there's a rational according to our military to provide f-16's. >> you're ruling it out. >> i'm ruling it out for now. >> most americans are evenly split whether support for ukraine should have an expiration date, griff. griff: i want to ask you if there's a white house response, we've got the news alert today

that former russian president now the head of their security council, dimitri medvedev making-- ratcheting up the rhetoric, suggesting a possible push into poland, obviously a threat to n.a.t.o. allies. >> no response yet from the white house, griff. of course, dimitri medvedev, the former president and prime minister of russia certainly people in poland have a long memory, of course, they remember when soviet troops invaded poland in the fall of 1939 a few weeks after nazi germany. no doubt people are worried that the war could escalate and that's why many in the west want to stop russia in its track and many think this is what putin meant commenting reconstituting russia. griff: lucas tomlinson from the

white house lawn. thank you. aishah: as ukraine surpasses the one year anniversary of invasion, world's deadliest war since world war ii. our national correspondent steve harrigan is live for us in kyiv. >> aishah, there has been little movement in the battle lines for eastern ukraine. that's a major spring offensive tornado to move the lines. he laid out in a press conference yesterday for the media what it would take to actually bring the fighting in ukraine to an end. here is zelenskyy. >> please respect our right to live on our land. leave our territory. stop bombing us. stop killing the civilian population. stop destroying our infrastructure, energy, drinking water. stop bombing towns, villages, killing dogs and cats and simply animals, torching

forests. >> for many ukrainian soldiers on the front lines there's a grim realization setting in that there's no end to the fighting in sight. >> for us, war is war. this is a regular day for us, nothing changes. >> the biden administration announced another $2 billion in military aid for ukraine. much of that aid will be in artillery as well as drones, including the kamikaze drones which can pretty much drop from the sky destroying military vehicles. since the start of the year one year ago, the u.s. provided ukraine more than $50 billion. >> hard to believe it's been a year already. steve harrigan live in kyiv, thank you. griff: the national transportation safety board releasing the cause of the train derailment in ohio and

warning the situation should not be used as political fodder. when they saw visits from donald trump and pete buttigieg making trips to the region. for more on this, mike tobin joining us live from east palestine. hey, mike. >> hey, griff. erin brockovich was the latest to come to the town hall. she warned residents not to be lulled into sense of security with the made for tv moments with governor mike dewine and epa administrator drinking the water. she says that it could take time for it to leach through the soil and into the body. >> we have companies with poor corporate models that cut maintenance, that put all of us

at risk and continue to just think once we poison a community it's going to magically go away. >> researchers from texas a & m took the epa's own data and determined there are indeed nine pollutants at elevated levels that could raise long-term health concerns some are known to cause cancer and others lung irritation and others have been complaining about. crews need to focus on as the cleanup is underway. >> it's not clear what the source of these things in the air are. it could be from water or from soil that's, you know, it's evaporating into the air. so it's, you know, that's another thing that would need to be investigated. >> in the meantime, president biden made the statement that he will not join the list of high profile people visiting east palestine. video conference is the most they will get. griff, back to you. griff: mike tobin live for you

in east palestine. thank you. aishah. aishah: okay, for more on this, we're joined by democratic congressman from pennsylvania and member of the house appropriations committee matt cartwright. congressman, thank you for joining us on your saturday. good to see you. >> happy to be with you, aishah. how are you? >> i'm great. thank you so much for asking. i want to start off with the president saying at this time he's not going to east palestine. look, we've heard from folks on the ground. they want him there and some of the folks live in pennsylvania. would you like to see the president go? >> well, i tell you what, i like it when the president goes everywhere he goes because that's his strength, really, aishah, is his-- the personal connection he makes with people and look, i can't speak for his schedule. i do know that secretary buttigieg was there and made a fine impression and you know, made some important comments about you know, how we avoid this kind of thing going forward.

regrettably some safety protections were abandoned in the last administration having to do with freight rail and you don't want to go that way. people like to use the word regulations. regulations are no good. you shouldn't use that word regulation. you should use the word protections because protections are there to protect people and, gosh, when something like this happens, it's hard to put the genie back in the box because how do woo even measure the harm that will be done? how do we compensate the people for the immeasurable harm that they've suffered? the answer is, steady governance. you know, let's not do sound bite governance. let's look at the protections in place and enforce them. aishah: okay. something else that i'm sure that folks in scranton and the rest of pennsylvania and of course, across the country is sky high inflation is just

persisting, congressman. now numbers and consumer prices indicate that they rose more than half a percent from january to february and they've ramped up, this is not getting better. jp morgan jamie dimon says they've lost control? do you agree with na that? >> in part, the statement about the fed losing control, i won't say-- i wouldn't go that far, but what i will say, i think they got a late start. i think they should have started ticking up interest rates maybe six months earlier than they did, but those are judgment calls. you know, it's hard to -- it's hard to make that call as you go. it's easy to make that call with hindsight because hindsight is 2020. but i do feel optimistic. i want you to know that i think that over time inflation will

tick down. you're absolutely right. right here in northeastern pennsylvania, inflation hurts and it hurts when you go to the grocery store and it hurts when you go to the gas pump. you know, the gas pump, the oil and gas prices were driving much of the inflation and that's why i was very proud to vote in favor of the anti-price gouging bill that would crack down on the oil and gas companies that were really taking advantage of the supply chain issues and the, you know, the overabundance of demand coming back as we came out of the pandemic. that was a bad thing and so you have to look at the whole picture, but overall, for the future i am optimistic that inflation will continue to move downward. aishah: congressman, quickly, i have 60 seconds left though. to that point that you're making, wouldn't you think though that kevin mccarthy and the g.o.p.-led house is going to use these most recent numbers on inflation, as they

have been, to make the point that this is proof that democratic spending was out of control and this is why we should roll back spending? do you think that there's anything that we can cut when it comes to spending? you're a member of the appropriations committee. is there anything that we can cut? >> well, what we ought to do is we ought to cut that 2017 bill that cut taxes for the biggest corporations and the wealthiest 1% among us. 86% of those tax cuts went to people that can easily afford to pay those extra taxes and the corporations and to answer your question, i don't know what kevin mccarthy is going to say? sure, he's going to cough up the sound bites that sound good at the time. aishah: i think's going to say-- >> you need steady governance, we have to look at the long term. inflation is going to tamp down

and we have to start to take a balanced approach to balancing the deficit. i think, congressman, he might say that it was the inflation reduction act that caused rampant inflation or contributed to it. i think that that's what republicans would say. thank you for your time. >> see you, thank you for your time, so long. griff: great interview. the members of house judiciary committee held a meeting along the border and you'll hear from one there, and a live report from mission, texas coming up. s of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that.

>> welcome back. listen to this, total migrant encounters at the southern border now exceeded one million since the start of just this fiscal year, 2023. that's october, marking an unprecedented pace here. matt finn is live for us in mission, texas with the latest on the ground. some breaking news there, i imagine. matt. >> yeah, aishah, all of those migrant encounters oftentimes lead to dangerous evaluations and there's a little bit of a developing swear at eagle pass, texas. accord to go a law enforcement and a border patrol source, a border patrol agent opened fire

on a female and the agent's life may have been threatened at some point. we're working to get more on that information. and we don't see border patrol using their weapons too often. but what we see often is human smugglers leading deputies on high speed chases and crashes as well. south of san antonio, texas dps pulls over a truck, it comes to a stop and four illegal immigrants start running. they arrest the driver, charged him with human smugglers and four taken to border patrol. here in the rio grande valley, migrants were trapped inside a flipped s.u.v., and 17 were in the area after that stunning crash. in mission, texas border patrol reports a human smugglers failed to yield on the road and they wer

over to border patrol. they arrested an illegal migrant struggling to stay afloat in the rio grande and that's something that we see often. and they quickly saved that migrant and two others and took them in for processing and these are examples how the illegal migrant flow here leads to threatening the lives of not only u.s. agents, but also the migrants themselves and sometimes innocent civilians, aishah. aishah: matt finn for us. thank you. griff: and now we're joined onset for the republican congresswoman from wyoming and house natural resources and judiciary committees. congresswoman thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me. griff: you went from yuma, arizona where you were this week at the judiciary committee field hearing to here. what can you report to us? >> i can report there's a very serious crisis on the border and the current administration is, i wouldn't say ignoring it.

i think it's intentional. going down there and meeting with people in the hospital at the food bank, the farmers and growers, producing our food down there. we're hearing live stories of the impact that this failed policy is having on real live people. it's a tragedy, a tragedy from the standpoint of the drug smuggling. it's a tragedy in terms of the human trafficking and we're dealing with a crisis down there and the-wide administration is only exacerbating it and making it worse every single day. griff: we should point out, none of your democrat colleagues chose to join you there. i believe we have a little bit of sound from that hearing from one of your republican colleagues. here is a little bit of what congressman jordan had to say. take a listen. >> the cvp has essentially become a concierge service for illegal immigrants. you have aliens from over 100 different countries entering this area. the biden administration is jeopardizing our food supply

and our food security and they're prioritizing illegal aliens over and above american citizens and legal immigrants. griff: even better than chairman jordan is your input there. and what was the big take-away from the hearings republican led and the administration. and was there a takeaway you accomplished? >> making sure that the people in yuma and other border communities remember that they're not forgotten. we're wanting to go down and address this issue and crisis that's been created. so i think it's extremely important for leaders to go down and visit with the people who are actually being affected every single day by what's happening. visiting with the hospital. over 26 million dollars in unfunded care for illegal immigrants. talking about the other services that they have to provide. talking with the food bank and the pressures they're facing and talking with the farmers. being there in person allows

you to understand how personal this kind of situation is. when you've got 150 people, 200 people crossing the border every day. one of the metrics that i keep using is that my state has a population of 560,000 people. over 10 times that population has crossed the border illegally in the last two years. that's exacerbating all kinds of problems throughout the country. inflation, increased costs. we have a lack of housing, affordable housing in certain areas, this is only making that situation worse. it also is suppressing wages for american citizens and for legal immigrants. so, there are all kinds of consequences associated with these, again, terrible policies, including the human trafficking toll of this. the cartels are running the border and they are-- they're trafficking people all over this country. these illegals are bringing in fentanyl. we know about the incredible human tragedy of over 100,000 people who have lost their lives in just the last year because of fentanyl poisoning. all of that fentanyl is

originating in mexico and from there it's originating in china. the chemicals are actually coming from china. so, this is an international and national crisis. going down and talking to people only brings that fact home. we need to find a way to stem the tide and finish the border wall. the cvp and law enforcement down there, they say that the wall that donald trump built works. that does work. it is an effective deterrent and being able to control who is crossing that border. so, we need to get back to it. griff: let me ask you about the administration. our cvp saying they've crossed the one million mark for october 1st, it was 840,000 roughly last year and last year was on record. however, the administration is pointing to lower january numbers from december, they went from 250,000 to 150,000. in february it looks like it's 150,000 or less as well. they, the administration, points to that as a sign that things are moving in the right direction.

your reaction? >> not because of any policies that they have put in place, but the other part that they're not talking about is the get-aways and you showed a picture of four people bailing out of a pickup and running away, i don't know if they were able to catch them or not. not only people crossing the border and subjecting themselves to the procedures that the border patrol is following, but you have a lot of people who are not going that route and you referred to those as the got-aways. i don't know necessarily believe the numbers that are coming out of this administration. they have an incentive to downplay the crisis that they've created. at the same time they're covering up what is actually going on on the border. i saw it firsthand. griff: we try and stay on top of the numbers and spend time on the border as well. congressman harriet hageman, thank you. >> thank you. griff: and tomorrow shannon bream will have an interview with south carolina tim scott

and democrat carden. and on media buzz, howie kurtz will cover the ohio train derailment and the polarization surrounding president biden's trip to kyiv. that's tomorrow 11 a.m. eastern. be sure to tune in. aishah: florida governor ron desantis and former president donald trump hosting duelling donor events with both hoping to bring in big bucks. this is the latest in a flurry of moves suggesting that desantis is gearing up to announce a 2024 presidential bid. alexandria hoff is here in washingtons for us with the latest on this race. hi, alex. >> that's right. the g.o.p.'s nomination battle has not been made official yet, but the tug-of-war over palm beach's big money donors kicked off. president trump who is making the third straight run made the

first at maga, inc. in mara lago, described as an intimate gathering. a few miles away, at palm beach, florida governor ron desantis is holding a retreat with 150 top donors. he's not expected to make an announcement on a rumored run this spring. the governor talked about the media criticism he has received. >> it's hard for them to keep up with you when you're constantly doing new things and leading on different issues and we've pretty much kept that pace going throughout my entire tenure as governor and people see you out there. they see you're active, but it makes it more difficult for the narratives to take hold when they're coming to shoot at you. >> well, former president trump has not been holding back. at a post, he used a nickname and he said that florida was

doing okay before ran desanctus. and people are there. and thank you. a nickname there and two other republicans, an entrepreneur, and former ambassador nikki haley. haley attended a conference of top donors in austin yesterday. and speakers included some potential presidential hopefuls. former vice-president mike pence speaking, tim scott, governor chris sununu and former governor chris christie. aishah: never too early for those nicknames. i'm sure we'll see more of that. as alex said, mark will be on fox news. griff: it's the trial that captured the nation's attention. alex murdaugh faces double murder charges over the death

of his wife and son. the dramatic revelations from the witness stand we heard next. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage

his son paul took moments before the murder. and he testified his distrust of law enforcement and paranoia due to opioid use led him to try for nearly two years. >> i would get paranoid thinking, and it could be anything, that triggered it. it might be a policeman following me in a car. that night, june 7th, after finding mags and paul, don't talk to anybody without with you. my partners were repeatedly telling me that. >> and on friday, the prosecutor waters hammered away at his location at crucial points, video, gps data, texts calls and a step count on his phone to account for his

movements he couldn't specifically account for, particularly when prosecutors asked him what he was doing when he returned to the home and retrieved his phones in the minutes after prosecutors say his wife and son were killed with a shotgun and an assault style rifle. how do you remember so much detail about everything, and you don't remember generating 283 steps in making the phone calls during this period. >> i never manufactured any alibi in any way, shape or form because i did know the and would not hurt my wife and my child. >> and trial continues monday, aishah. aishah: okay, charles watson. thank you so much, griff. griff: for more on this story and where the trial is headed we're joined by attorney brian claypool. brian, this really captivated us. our entire news room was watching this testimony, it's so unusual that man in his situation would even take the

stand, but yet, the familiarity with, you know, the nicknames for his deceased son, paul-paul, it seemed to me like he was just trying to reach at least one juror and somehow connect. so my question to you, it's a tough one for you, i want to put you in the psychology of the jury right now. how are they reacting to this. >> griff, great to be back with you. i'll tell you up until murdaugh took the stand at maybe getting a hung jury, maybe one or two jurors out there for the lack of forensic evidence. when he took the stand, i think it was a colossal mistake on the defense's standpoint. he had to pick a poison. what do i'm by that? >> he has to refute the video

with the kennel. he could have brought in a forensic psychologist somebody he talked to and said, look, the trauma of the shooting caused me to have an innocent misrecollection of what happened on the night of the shooting. that would have insulated him from having to go in front of the jury and look like a fool for two days. instead he went into that courtroom and tried to patronize that jury. this was not a man that had any human emotion in my opinion. i've done a lot of jury trials. that was a guy up there, that was a lawyer going toe to toe with another lawyer. that was not a grief stricken father and grief staken husband. i think it was devastating for him. griff: when he must have thought he could get sympathy from the jury talking about some 60 oxycodone pills a day, but as you point out he had quite an adept legal memory when it came to key points. i want to play one moment the

prosecution sorts to believe it was the sort of gotcha moment. watch this. >> were you, in fact, at the kennels at 8:44 p.m. on the night maggie and paul were murdered? >> i was. >> did you lie to agent own and deputy laura rutland on the night of june 7th and told them that you stayed at the house after dinner. >> i did lie to. griff: was that, brian, the gotcha moment that the prosecution hoped it would be? >> absolutely, griff. the thousand pound gorilla in this courtroom has always been murdaugh lied. he lied to investigators, but he's remembering everything else and this is the same guy who opened himself up on cross exam, griff, to talk about all of those innocent and loving clients and friends who he hoodwinked, who he stole

millions of dollars from. so, put yourself in the jury's shoes, griff. they're out there hearing this guy say, yeah, i lie, i stole, i cheated from people who i loved and cared about, why can't the jury go back in the deliberation room. hey if you're able to do to friends you love and care about, you can surely kill your wife and husband because you're a lunatic drug addict, you're unhinged and you're a train wreck. so this was a disaster for murdaugh. griff: we shall see what the jury decides to do. brian claypool, thank you for joining us and getting your insight as always. a quick reaction here, aishah, you and i were talking about before the show i'm not sure it's as clean cut and devastating as brian points out. i listened to our colleague judge janine who works in consumers, there could be sympathy in one of the jurors, saying he's going to be guilty

anyway on the financial stuff on the trial and we'll find him not guilty on murder because he's going to get caught on the financial stuff. aishah: i think you're right. there's always the perspective. he could be a lie and cheat and a scam artist, but is he a murderer? i don't know that they've come to that point. much more on the trial. we'll take you back to ohio. cleanup efforts underway in east palestine after that massive train derailment. we'll talk to a resident on the ground who lives close to the crash site about the symptoms she's been going through, her and her four-year-old son. you don't want to miss that interview coming up. which means your smart home isn't so smart. sprinkler on. and now i'm sending mixed signals... to your garage. but, if you haven't bundled your home and auto, unpacking this isn't going to be too much fun. so get allstate. we were blown away. (chuckles)

legacy is really, really big at howard university so it's really a special moment to know that i had a family member who over a hundred years prior have walk these grounds. after years of chasing the big idaho potato truck... i finally caught it. oh man. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis keeps flaring, put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when uc got unpredictable, i got rapid symptom relief with rinvoq. and left bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc got in my way, i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq.

check. and when my gastro saw damage, rinvoq helped visibly repair the colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief. lasting, steroid-free remission. and a chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check. check. and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least 1 heart disease risk factor have higher risks. don't take if allergic to rinvoq as serious reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. put uc in check and keep it there, with rinvoq. ask your gastro about rinvoq. and learn how abbvie could help you save. >> well, folks living in and around east palestine, ohio, grappling with the aftermath of that toxic train derailment. some say they're not only

currently suffering from physical symptoms after inhaling the chemicals. they're facing the stress of how it's going to impact in the future. and one resident joining us now from ohio, from her home, which is supposed to be a safe haven. mandy, thank you for joining us. so you live about 10 miles away from this disaster site and you and your 4-year-old son are starting to see physical, some serious symptoms. tell us about it. >> yeah, we live 10 miles and immediately two days after my son, he started to have serious sinus and respiratory issues, and has continued since. he -- he's been sleeping next to a cool mist humanfiers and suffering from migraine. my sinus isn't as bad because

i'm older than he is and he's been suffering from it. it been hard. aishah: sorry, mandy, when you see the pictures of a cat getting sick, fish dying in the water, chickens dying that people have been, you know, taking care of, how does that make you feel when the epa tells the folks living there, everything's okay. the water is fine, the air is fine? how do you feel? >> it's unsettling, it's quite unsettling. i don't believe them for a second that the air quality is okay. i'm the chicken lady. my six chickens dropped dead within 30 minutes to 45 minutes after they started that chemical burn and them saying it was controlled, if it was controlled they'd be able to control the oxygen to that and it's in a wide open area. it has no control. so they're very much lying. they're full of it. aishah: and i imagine, mandy, there's a lot of folks down

there that can't do much about it. it's not like they can pack up and go stay at a fancy hotel, you know, even an hour away. >> yeah, it's -- our lives are here, you know, especially the people of east palestine. they have their whole life there. there's residents there that have been there their whole lives and now they're having to suffer from this exposure and they're having to uproot their lives for what? and a lot of people can't do just that because it's-- we're everyday working class people. we're not multi-millionaires, we're not rich. we work day after day to make our ends meet. aishah: it always seem to happen that way. the people who need the most help wind up suffering the most. we saw transportation secretary buttigieg visit you this past week and then the epa has been

there and former president donald trump has been there as well. the one man that's not been there is someone who calls himself the comforter in chief, right, the president of the united states. do you want him there? >> he absolutely should be here. he made a vow to protect the people of his country and he let us down on that vow. he would rather go to another country and give them millions of dollars when we have one specific community and surroundings communities that are struggling because of this. aishah: and just to follow up on your son, just so worried about him. he's a little 4-year-old. has he gone to the doctor? have they told him what this could be? >> they simply told me when we first initially went a couple of days after that it was just a respiratory sinus infection and now that they have the medical centers open in east palestine, i plan on taking him

there so they can value him for themselves and as well as myself because normally as a parent you can tell when your child's going to be sick or he's getting sick and he showed no signs. he out of nowhere has just has had hard time breathing and since, coughing, i hate to say it, nasty mucus. he can bear ly breathe out of his nose. he's been sleeping next to a cool mist humidifier. aishah: and definitely follow up and we want to make sure your son is okay. and keep in touch and what happens when you take him to the facility. thank you, mandy, your voice is important for all of us, we very much appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. i very much appreciate you. aishah: of course. griff. griff: we're learning new details about the man accused of going on a deadly shooting
