released without proper es to democrats during the 2022 midterms. one republican was one of 11 affected, saying what happened goes way beyond dirty politics. >> doing identity theft with our social security numbers to get this. they paid for this. did they get the information, know it was done illegally? we want to know this. >> chief washington correspondent mike emanuel on this one. hi, mike. >> two powerful house chairmans set a deadline for today to be notified for how widespread the problem has been. mike rogers is the chairman of the house armed services committee, james coleman of house oversight. they wrote to secretary austin, quote, the recent broad release of records, highlights the

inadequacy to secure military personnel files but raising concerning questions of possible illicit motive or political partisanship. they were released to a private research firm with ties to the democrat congressional campaign committee. one of the republican congressman told his understanding of how it went down. >> in my situation, they acquired the information without my consent. they used forms perpetrating myself or an entity working on my behalf, and then fed that information to the department of air force. >> so that's the air force. since then, gop lawmakers have been asking about the other service branches. >> i believe this goes a lot deeper. i don't have any evidence yet on the navy, the regular army or

the marines or coast guard, but you can bet that if it happened at the air force, happened the army national guard, this goes deeper. >> the armed services and the oversight chair are pressing for answers today. the democratic congressional campaign committee has not responded to our request for comment. dana? >> mike, thank you. >> still on the border now, sources telling fox news that agents have already encountered more than a million migrants as the fiscal year began on the 1st of october. agents saying a deadly high-speed pursuit ended with a car crashing into a utility pole, six people ejected, two killed, the pole split in half. we're live in mission, texas, for a withdrawn of where we are today. matt, hello. >> good morning, bill. it was an active and dangerous weekend here along the southern border, not only for border patrol agents, but also for the migrants who enter this country illegally. first, around 3:40 a.m. on

saturday in rio bravo, texas, u.s. border patrol agents were pursuing a car that failed to yield. the car crashed into a utility pole, cutting the car in half, ejecting six people and killing at least two, according to the fire chief. this morning there's an active investigation into an incident saturday when border patrol says it used force by the person sent to the hospital. our own border patrol and law enforcement sources say a female human smuggler may have put border patrol agents' lives in danger. sources say border patrol apparently shot that woman, who is believed to have survived. it's not often that we see border patrol agents use their weapons. in la jolla, a 9-year-old girl was discovered from honduras, saying she got lost why in mexico, and smuggled with two pregnant women on a raft making her way into the united states. also over the weekend, our crews seeing chinese nationals here

along the border near la jolla, texas, small groups of chinese nationals who illegally crossed into the u.s. surrendering. since the beginning of the fiscal year, which is only a couple months ago, there's been nearly 3,000 chinese nationals encountered, some paying upwards of $35,000 to be smuggled. as we mentioned, border patrol now saying there's been more than a million migrant encounters here at the southern border. we did see a dip in the encounters in january and february. we're told on the ground that might be seasonal. it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming months when the weather warms up again, and perhaps the migrant counts will increase. bill? >> no let-up down there. thanks, matt. >> the u.s. energy department says seeing new intelligence concerning the origins of covid, it now concludes the global

pandemic most like was caused by a lab leak in china, according to the "wall street journal." joining us now, former director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe. great to have you here, sir. this is biden's national security advisor on this topic yesterday. >> president biden specifically requested that the national labs, which are part of the department of energy, be brought into this assessment, because he wants to put every tool at use to be able to figure out what happened here. if we gain any further insight or information, we will share it with congress and we will share it with the american people. >> what's your reaction to this as it came out yesterday morning? >> well, i'm not surprised. in fact, i predicted that there would be a different among all of the intelligence agencies, because, you know, dana, frankly, the idea that the covid-19 virus was of natural origins has always been at odds

with our intelligence. i mean, from my first day as the director, in looking at that, that was very clear. i think what you've seen is, you know, back in april of 2020, the intelligence communities unanimously agreed with the scientific community that this was of natural origins. it's now shifted. you see more and more agencies coming to the conclusion with some degree of confidence in their assessment that -- that this was the result of a lab leak. i think over time, dana, what you're going to find is that the entire intelligence community will reach that assessment because our intelligence very clearly supports that assessment. >> but if the department of energy is saying this -- would they not know? >> well, what i didn't understand about jake sullivan's comments is the department of energy has been involved like other -- their intelligence components have been involved with this from the beginning.

you know, not to get too technical on this, bill, but from the beginning it has been clear that scientists have not been able to explain why there's something called a site within the genetic makeup of the covid-19 virus. that's why you had the scientists privately in emails conceding i don't know how this occurs in nature. that's something that happens when scientists insert a snippet of genetic material into manipulated viruses. so from the beginning, there's never been an environmental source for covid-19. there has never been an intermediary host identified. why that's important for your viewers is with the original sars virus and with the mers virus, those intermediary were found within 3 1/2 months. with covid, nothing from the

natural world has been found, which is why scientists and intelligence agency are backing away from prior assessments, back away from the idea there was a possibility of natural origin, moving to the assessment this was the result of a lab leak. >> can i ask you about the timing of this, coming out yesterday morning? sometimes it's a coincidence than any sort of strategy, but last week we knew that the administration was telling us that china was about to sell weapons to russia in order to use against ukraine. this comes out on sunday morning. feels like they would have had this information for a long time. are you suspicious of the timing getting out? >> umm, i had the, umm, initial thought that you did, dana. umm, i don't think this is a coincidence. i do hope this is part of a strategy to hold china in check. that would be a good sign, that the biden administration is thinking about these things, but, you know, to the larger picture, i also wish that this

acknowledgment and assessment across the board, that china, notwithstanding the fact that i understand that the geopolitical ramificationses of concluding that china is responsible for the deaths of now tens of millions of people, more than a million americans from a lab accident that happened in wuhan are significant, but i do think in the scope of things the american people deserve to have a truthful assessment. and our intelligence on this is clear. i said it years ago, that this shift would take place, and it will continue where eventually we'll get to the point where everyone is conceding that this was the result of a lab leak. >> sullivan said, the national labs are part of the department of energy. it said it came from wuhan. speaking of wuhan, "new york post" headline of the day, "it had to be wu." john ratcliffe, thank you, sir.

biden to be the party's nominee in 2024. a whopping 53% say they'd rather see someone else. we have more on the numbers in washington, d.c. alex, hello. good morning. >> hi, good morning, bill. to put that in perspective, back in 2019, at the same point in the election cycle, 72% of voters wanted the president to run again. the economy is still the most important issue for voters overall. immigration and climate change still a distant second and third. according to this latest fox news poll, 78% of voters overall rank the condition of the economy as only fair or poor. that's further illustrated by 57% of americans reporting that they have less money in their pocket this year versus last. now president biden's worst rating was on inflation specifically. 66% disapprove of the president's handling of it.

republican congressman james comer is not surprised by any of the numbers. >> the reality is that the average working american is struggling. the average american who keeps up with things realizes that biden's policies are a disaster. >> president biden has not officially announced a second bid, but after the first lady indicated that one was in the works, the president offered this. >> god love her. look, i meant what i said. i've got other things to finish before i get into a full campaign. >> besides the economy, there's other issues, of course, including age. in the latest fox news poll, voters were asked if mental competency tests should be required for candidates over the age of 75. they responded in favor. >> see if they can get that done in time. alex, thank you. >> it's also interesting,

because getting everybody to start talk to about 2024. i'm into it. you're into it. you guys are into it. we'll be talking about it. foreign policy doesn't always play a big role in a presidential election, but it might this time. here's condoleezza rice yesterday on how the ukraine conflict might impact our election here. watch. >> it is really important that whoever runs for president of the united states understands the essence of this conflict. might doesn't make right. we ought to concentrate on the endall specific, because china is our adversary, xi is not only watching what's going on in ukraine. according to our intelligence apparently, he's even considering getting in on the side of the russians. >> on the last point, we talked about it last week. we'll see what happens with the summit that's supposed to happen in the spring. if and when it does, we'll get to that. this is important, because when we have these debates coming up at the end of this summer,

foreign policy is going to be front and center. anytime there's a war that features prominently one of our adversaries. in this case vladimir putin. >> those debates get underway six months from today. also good to are condoleezza rice's voice, so you can know what she's thinking. >> it's been a minute, right? >> on the supreme court, the justices will hear arguments on president biden's student loan relief program tomorrow. six states are soon to block the debt forgiveness program. this is high stakes for lots of people. we're live at the supreme court with a preview. >> dana and bill, this case has millions of people watching from all generations, especially my generation, because it really just puts into perspective what happens with student loan debt. right now millions of people could get up to $20,000 in student loan debt canceled if the supreme court agrees with

the president, and could possibly wipe it out. the question is do these states have standing? there are six states suing to have standing to try to wipe out this debt. tomorrow morning, the justices will decide whether or not to keep or nix the administration's loan cancellation plan. just last year the president fulfilling a campaign promise came out, announced his plan of canceling up to $20,000 if you meet certain criteria. millions do meet that criteria. the program is expected to cost some $400 billion. the administration believes they can prevail, because the 2003 law called the heroes act, aimed to waiver student loans fooling 9/11, and the words national emergency are in the law. the administration says, okay, well, covid-19 is a national emergency. let's cancel the debt. several states led by nebraska are saying, hold on a moment, this is a campaign pledge, and if there is a national emergency with covid then why end title 42? another big story we've talked

about at the court, title 42, that policy put in place to quickly expel migrants, citing the covid emergency, saying with respect to title 42 the covid emergency is ending, but with respect to student loans it's not. this is the argument coming from those gop states. with the white house's blessing of the justice department, sees it differently, believes that the heroes act will hold up in this case and offer millions of people billions of dollars of student loan relief. after the president announced this just last year, halfway point through the year, people starting getting direct deposits of $10,000, $20,000 in their account from the government. right now they're holding on the payments to see if they have to indeed send them back. the supreme court will make a decision on this by the end of the term, which is likely going to be the end of june, early july at the latest. >> there's so much at stake here, david. thank you. >> "wall street journal," the

the defense asking permission for the jury to make an in-person visit to the crime scene. the prosecution pushing back. here's how that went. >> the state is not asking for there to be a jury to see, requiring additional testimony, because the scene is different than it existed on the night of june 7th, 2021. >> you can't appreciate the spatial issues without actually seeing them. >> the court allow a jury view. >> trey gowdy joins us now, a former prosecutor. nice to have you on. what's your reaction of the possible visit? can you clear up a rumor or a report, the lawyer for murdaugh, did he want murdaugh on the stand? or not. if it's not, did alex murdaugh

overrule him to show the world how great of an attorney he was in person? >> well, if you know dick harpootlian at all, he would never miss an opportunity to be on television. the only reason he would tell alex not to testify if he thought they wering to okay. the reasons defendants testify, to hang the jury, or if you think you already have them hung, trying to get an acquittal. it is ultimately the client's decision. so it doesn't matter what jim griffin or dick harpootlian want. let's be candid, that would be a tough client to have. a lawyer as a client is -- would be really hard. whether dick advised him not to or not, he may have, but alex gets to make the decision. the jury view, though, i am stunned that a prosecutor would oppose the jury -- i mean, imagine how harrowing it is for 12 people to go to the scene

where a woman and a son had their heads blown off. i mean, prosecutors are dying for the jury to go to the scene, because you know here were two bodies at one point. so why the prosecution was opposed to it, i just find that stunning. >> is that unusual for -- i don't know if i've ever seen a jury make a field trip. >> no. we've done it. i mean, we do it when you want the jury to have a sense of either how close the quarters were. i mean, it is hard through dimensions to describe a room where someone was killed, where i had a convenience store, where the clerk was shot. you see the jury trying to figure out, okay, was the view obstructed. there's a reason a picture is worth a thousand words. there's a reason for that. if a picture is good, then imagine going to it. but it was always us that asked. the prosecution, the defense,

would say no for the very reason that they did not want these 12 people standing where there was once a body. >> trey, i want you to size up what you heard from last week. one of the key lines i would say for murdaugh on the stand. >> i didn't shoot my wife or son anytime. ever. i would never intentionally do anything to hurt either one of them. >> i mean, trey, this went on for hours, talking about drug addicttion, talking about how he stole millions of dollars from clients. how did he do? >> he's a good liar. think about it, he's a drug addict, stealing money from lawyers, which is a tough group to steal money from, because they count every single nickel. you have to be a good liar to go through life, keeping an

addicttion from people, keeping the fact that you've stolen money from clients, which gets you disbarred, and your law partners, which gets you sued. he had telltale signs of lying, overexplaining innocuous details like which bird dog was chasing which chicken. what does that have to do with anything? he spent a lot of time on that, because the prosecutor lost control of the cross-examination. cross is about control. the prosecutor is the star. not the witness. these prosecutors allowed him to humanize himself. i mean, there were times when i had to stop and remind myself, hey, this guy is charged with blowing his wife's and son's off, because he sounded like a normal person. >> will that work with the jury? what do you think? >> you know what, i mean juries almost always get it right. they get it right, dana, for

reasons that we -- if you ever call a jury afterwards and say, why did you reach this verdict, you will be stunned. it could have been something that happened two weeks ago that you don't even think was important. the bottom line is he admitted that he lied, because he had to. i mean, the jury heard his voice. so if you're going to lie about, you know, less things, or you're going to lie about -- i mean, did he have a motive. does he have a motive to lie? of course. he's facing the rest of his life in prison. has he impacted crime scenes in the past? yes. yes. he tried to stage a suicide. >> right. >> he tried to interfere in the boat case. so it's going to come down to closing argument. the prosecutors need to do a better job than they did on cross. >> it's all so twisted. trey, thanks for coming on. >> thank you, trey. >> thank y'all. >> so illinois is weighing a plan to force chicago grocery

at least one armed security guard. the barb eastman runs happy foods, a neighborhood grocery store. you would be forced to hire a guard. how do you feel about that? >> i don't want to do that. it's a lot of liability. it's not necessary. we have police to do this. >> yes, we should. you've run this business for 25 years. this is a fairly safe neighborhood. a lot of people think chicago is a crazy zone. it's not everywhere. is that right? >> exactly. it's not everywhere like that. we have different communities in chicago. this neighborhood is extremely safe. >> at the same time, if you look at the numbers, crime has spiked again this year. what's the answer to that? >> hire the police that you need, fund the police, prosecute the criminals, put them in jail. >> the other thing is, you look at food inflation, you're dealing with that already. if you look at the numbers from the last cpi, i'll read them now, it looks like food increased more than any other -- whether it's energy or cars, anything like that. if you hire a security guard,

that's going to cost you. where does that money come from? >> they said we're responsible for paying for it. it comes from payroll. what do i do? i can't increase it like that. >> dana, if you lived in chicago, you would shop here. it's happy foods, a great local neighborhood grocery store, one that says we should just let the police do the job, not have to be forced to hire our own security. >> she makes such compelling points, common-sense ones. her store is gorgeous. dying to go there. good stuff. >> chicago crime is a major factor in tomorrow's election for mayor. listen, you've been up close and personal with this with your 18-year-old brother shot and killed. you know the problems of chicago as well as anyone. this is a little bit of sampling that we have from some folks that you talked to in the city. watch. >> chicago is probably one of the worst cities with crime.

i fear for my life every day. i get on the train. >> it is horrible. it is not safe. look at all the shootings. this is way too much. >> i mean, i already was beat up on the train. gave me six stitches in my head. and nobody did anything about it. >> i think we've been trying to find a leadership change for a while. >> she's got to go. >> yeah. >> i voted her in, but i'm voting her out. >> i mean, it is the story in chicago every day. that's crime. i really see the city developing into two different places. the south side, riddled by violence forever, and the north side, which is largely peaceful, but you see it creep further and further north. >> yes. >> how do you see the state of the city today, playing into this election? >> well, for the first time in 20 years, crime has been centered for the voters of chicago, and what a lot of those individuals said to me, as i spoke to them, is they don't feel safe. the truth of the matter is, mayor lori lightfoot, who's

gaslighted citizens time and time again, telling them they are safe, not to believe their own eyes, continues to weaponize her incompetence and says, oh, yeah, everything is fine, but now i'm going to blame this person or that person versus take personal responsibility and help the police do their jobs. my brother was murdered on june 24th of last year. this past monday, last week, would have been his 19th birthday. this is personal to me. what the mayor has done has ensured that the lives of many of the citizens are in jeopardy with her policies, like the no chase policy, where cops can't get out of the cars and chase suspects. they got to call in to their supervisors before they can chase them in their actual vehicles. this is disturbing on every level. we continue to see the ramificationses of her policy on a day-to-day basis in the city of chicago with lives lost. >> go ahead. finish up. then i'll read you a quote from

lightfoot. >> what i see from lori lightfoot, the folks are brown and black folks in these different communities. black lives don't matter to lori lightfoot. black votes do. i don't believe it's working. >> wow. okay. she says any vote coming out of the south side for somebody not named lightfoot is a vote for garcia or valas. if you want them controlling your fate and destiny, then stay home and don't vote. wow. if they don't vote, or keep voting the same way on the south side, nothing is going to change in that community. >> let me repeat, bill, black lives don't matter to lori lightfoot. black votes do. that's exactly what that statement said to me. that was the coldest statement to black -- coded statement to black voters, which makes up a strong coalition of voters for any democrat running for office. she's saying don't vote for the white guy, the hispanic guy, i'm the only guy that can lead us forward, when it's been nothing but a lie, an absolute lie, and

people continue to pay the price to her incompetence. we need new leadership in the city of chicago. it seems like paul valas might be the one to do it. if he doesn't make it all the way, he'll probably make a runoff, comes up with ideas, like supporting the police, give them what they need and hold the criminals accountable. that's common sense. >> thank you for your time. if it gets to 50%, a runoff the first weekend of april. thank you. >> veterans having trouble adjusting to civilian life often find themselves living on the street.we street.we our next guest has developed a program to help service members get back on their feet. stay tuned. every month.s there are no upfront fees to apply.
