♪ >> look at all the people going to work in tampa. thank you for joining us today on thursday. see you back here tomorrow. >> thanks to everybody who came out to goodie goodie burger. awesome to see everybody out there. the food was fantastic. >> bye, we'll see you tomorrow. >> bill: cartels killing americans. it is driving calls for a u.s. military intervention in mexico. republicans aren't the only ones saying enough is enough. it's thursday. i'm bill hemmer from new york city today. hello, partner. >> dana: good to be with you. asme -- i'm kp. the cartels fueling bloodshed on both sides of the border and the kidnapping of four american tourists is a breaking point.

mexican cartels are responsible for the surge of deadly fentanyl. the opioid is killing americans by the tens of thousands and it is getting worse by the year. >> bill: as you can see on the map the gangs have a tight grip on the entire country and the mexican government is unable or unwilling to fight back. >> dana: a growing number of lawmakers wanting the cartels marked as terrorists opening to military strikes in mexico. here is one of them. senator joe manchin. >> this is a war. it has become a war. look at the people we lost. we haven't lost this many people in our wars. >> bill: we action from the former a.g. first news and reporting from the hill with aishah hosni there today. good morning. >> good morning to you both in new york. look, in just about an hour, members of the house intelligence committee will get to sit down and grill the nation's top intelligence chiefs and they will get to ask them

directly about what they are doing with the cartels at the u.s./mexico border. the chiefs of the f.b.i., csi and others are handing over their annual threat assessment to congress this week on a hearing on worldwide threats. that report mentions china 93 times. mexico once. fentanyl, which we know kills so many americans, is only mentioned five times in their report. it actually never mentions the word cartel at all. senate republicans are taking matters into their own hands. senator lindsey graham and others want to send the u.s. military to help mexico defeat the cartels. >> we won't sit on the sidelines anymore as a nation and watch our neighbor become a narco state that kills more americans in a single year than we lost in

vietnam. >> both president biden and president lopez obrador, when it comes to the border, and the drug cartels, have been sheep in sheep's clothing. this has gone on long enough. >> it is not just republicans as you mentioned. democrats on the border are open to this idea, too. >> congressman, would you be for bringing u.s. troops into the picture? >> i think we should be invited in. if they cannot get it under control. >> the house intel committee gets rocking in about an hour. we'll keep track of it and see if there is any questioning on the border. >> bill: beginning our coverage today. want to bring in the former nsh acting deputy secretary ken cuccinelli. this question went to the white house yesterday and here is how it was answered. >> designating these cartels as

ftos would not grant us any additional authorities that we don't really have at this time. the united states has powerful sanctions authorities designated to combat narcotics trafficking organizations and the individuals and entities that enable them. we haven't been afraid to use them. >> bill: she is saying we're doing what we need to do now. how is that satisfactory for you? >> yeah, it's what she said is not quite accurate but to use regular military force as you all were talking about would require congressional action. but the real problem that's been exacerbated here is the open borders policy of the president. that's what has brought so much harm to the united states. this has been a problem in mexico for decades. it has been as bad you'll remember in 2019 when the american family was ambushed accidentally and there was an up roar like we're seeing today over the kidnapping that happened more recently. it is nice to see democrats

finally stepping forward and saying we need to be aggressive about this. but we need follow through. it didn't happen in 2019 and it needs to happen now. this is a real failure of leadership by joe biden empowering these cartels and if i may, it's also why some of us are looking for other leadership in america and so today, in addition to fighting joe biden and the immigration failure he has got on the border, i'm proud to announce that we're starting the never back down pac to build the way and call on governor ron desantis to run for president in 2024. i've talked to people across the country, including people who care an awful lot about this issue who have been very impressed with governor desantis's accomplishment and putting a spotlight on the failures of the biden administration who want to see him run for president. a massive wave of support out there and work at never back down.org to organize that and

hopefully governor desantis will run to become president desantis and will have built the ground work for him to accomplish that successfully like he has accomplished so much else successfully in such an impressive. >> dana: what about military assets or force would be needed to deal with the border? >> so drawing from what desantis has done and said, it is pretty clear that he would leave all the options on the table. as -- if you look back to his time. the founder of the freedom caucus. a real constitutionalist and understands what he needs legally to move forward. the answer from a desantis white house -- >> dana: how would he use the military? >> i'm leading a grassroots army to help him. i can't stake out his positions.

i'm drawing from what he has already said that it would be an option he would entertain as president. >> bill: michael walshe was with us yesterday back to the whole issue of the cartels we sent the same message to the columbia in the 1990s and the columbian government got an board and we dismantled two cartels and he introduced to authorize military -- talk about ground troops here. cyberspace intelligence and special operations targets. it sounds logical, it sounds reasonable. i don't know if obrador would go for it. how much longer can you wait not to do it? >> yeah. well, the sooner you get started, the more effective you can be. time is an enemy for us as these cartels, aided by joe biden's open borders policies that, as you were asking governor desantis is vehemently opposed including this week, those are

fueling the fundraising, if you will, for these cartels who now are buying military-grade hardware. they have military-grade intel networks of their own. the longer we wait, the more they build. and the harder they will be to take down. i don't think the mexican press president will be very cooperative. he came in with the notion of hugs, not bullets. the highest murder levels mexico has ever seen ever. that's really saying something in a country like mexico that has seen so much mayhem and murder. our southern neighbor, the mexican government, doesn't govern about a third of their country. they don't control it. we have a partial narco state on our southern border and they are not going to be able to accomplish rolling that back without american help and leadership. we need solid leaders who make good decisions. we saw the testimony this week from the marine out of

afghanistan about what horrible decision making joe biden has done. governor desantis, been in the military, really knows how wicked smart he is and will provide the leadership to roll this back and start rolling back the cartels. >> bill: all right, sir. ken cuccinelli, thank you. been waiting long enough, haven't we? thank you, sir. a lot of reaction as you know. a little bit on the left. senator graham and bill barr have got this in their sights now. roll this here. >> we'll introduce an authorization to use military force with the united states military can destroy these labs. we need to unleash the fury of the united states. >> our military on these kinds of things with the intelligence we have can act with precision and destroy these groups in a relatively short period of time. >> dana: interested on the issue amass the authorization to use

military force. this week there is bipartisan agreement to withdraw the authorization to use military force that was used in afghanistan. basically to allow the united states military to go after terrorists wherever they were. this would be i guess a different aoms. an interesting thing that you would maybe cancel one and take away that opportunity for the president to authorize but also add one in mexico. i'm not against it but interesting timing. >> bill: when we cover these stories in depth for years. there are moments and stories that exact change. maybe this is it but apparently 100,000 people dead from fentanyl wasn't enough. >> dana: yep. there is a lot to talk about there, too. what do we need to do on our side of the border to tamp down demand as well? a big thorny problem and we can't ignore it anymore. the united states government is on notice and so are american

families. the southwest subcommittee on the weaponization of the government, the hearing begins at the top of the hour. kelly o'grady has the details on this. >> another hearing today kicks off on the twitter files. house select committee will dig into what members are deeming the weaponization of the federal government. those two journalists will take the stand today. both granted access by elon musk to internal twitter documents and that result in exposing how the platform censored certain people and viewpoints. what we can extent is a deep dive how twitter collaborated with the f.b.i. and how specific narratives around covid and hunter biden laptop story were

suppressed and how other tech companies sought to censor these as well. the federal trade commission launched an investigation into elon musk demanding all communications and journalists that the info was provided. it is a unique request for an ftc investigation proclaimed to be focus on user data and privacy. one of today's witnesses accusing the ftc of hypocrisy saying this is particularly infuriating because while the twitter files reporters neither asked or received access to private user data the files are full of instances of government agencies improperly asking the same. jim jordan calling it a threat to the first amendment. >> about as serious as it gets. weaponization of government as i've ever seen going after first amendment freedom of the speech rights. the idea that democrats won't stand up and defend the first amendment but sporting the

attacks and threats to it is scary. >> given this hearing is about the weaponization of the government expect both twitter's alleged censorship and ftc piece to take center stage and another twitter installment will download before the hearing. a lot to dig into today. >> bill: postpone the hearings and reread the twitter files. see this in the "wall street journal"? >> dana: here we have a federal agency demanding a private company disclose its interactions with the free press including how much it snooped on the reporters. none of it is the business of the federal government. the ftc is a little out of control. there are some, including some republicans, that want to give the ftc more control. this might blunt that effort. >> bill: elon musk is laying off people and saving costs and driving up advertising. he said in a few months twitter will be back in the black. if he does that he would be a heck of a businessman.

>> dana: i've seen a lot of ads, i think he will be right. >> bill: the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is in the hospital today after a fall at a hotel in washington last night. here is the statement from the office of the leader. says mcconnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner and admitted to the hospital and receiving treatment. 81-year-old republican overcame polio and underwent heart surgery in 2003. 2019 he had a fall as well in kentucky and injured his shoulder pretty good. hoping for the best for his health and we'll let you know how it turns out. >> dana: someone who knows him well says he pitys the doctors to hold him down. i'm sure he wants to get back to work. >> bill: another fox news alert out of ukraine. overnight russia went for it launching its most vicious

attack in weeks. the key infrastructure that's knocked off line in a moment. >> dana: stunning testimony on the american exit from afghanistan. what veterans told lawmakers about the tragic final days. >> i tried to get up but could not. laying there for a few minutes i started to lose consciousness. when i heard chaz, my team leader screaming my name as he ran to me. his voice calling to me kept me awake.ng p rices, lower your monthly payments with the 3 c's. pay down your credit cards. pay off your car loan. consolidate your debt with a va home loan from newday.

of the week. lydia hu will tell us what this is all about from fox business. >> most recently, a six month pilot program in the u.s. and ireland examining the four-day work week was concluded. 26 companies shrank their companies and kept the pay the same. the results are positive. about nine out of ten companies say they are definitely or planning to continue with the shortened schedule. so we wondered is the appetite for a four-day work week growing? we asked people around manhattan what they think. one person we disliked the idea. watch. >> if your company said we'll experiment moving to four days instead of five you would say count me in? >> i think i would, yeah, for sure. if i got paid the same for working less i'm all in for that. who wouldn't be. >> a four-day week in the office would strike me as more productive than two days in the office and three days at home.

china-affiliated companies. senator thune joins me now. listen to christopher wray. yesterday he was on capitol hill testifying about the threat that tiktok has against america's national security. listen here. >> this is a tool that is ultimately within the control of the chinese government and it to me screams out with national security concerns. >> dana: given that, is there anyone in washington that is going to join you in trying to make sure that something can be done legislatively? >> i certainly hope so, dana. it is high time congress steps in on this. all the authorities that the president has to deal with these types of threats come from a pre-digital age. we live in the digital age now and these applications are prolific. and there are some clearly that have national security implications. we have evidence that tiktok or the motzko that tiktok bytedance actually was accessing the

non-public information of american users of that platform and we know that china is an adversary and doing everything they can to spy on americans. i think this is just something that we needed to do to be vigilant to create a process where we can review and examine and determine whether or not to block some apps or mitigate the risks, how we go about that. it is high time for congress to be heard from. this is something that the trump administration had in place in the form of an executive order. we're codifying it and creating a process where you can do this in a rules-based not one single application only but on a broader way look at technologies and social media apps and evaluate them to determine whether or not they are a national security risk. >> dana: what is a hypothetical scenario that you could share that would explain to people that the national security is actually at risk. >> yeah. i think that's the important thing for people to understand. a lot of users of tiktok in this

country and they don't want to hear about this conversation. but it is important for them to understand their information, private data, may very well be being stolen and accessed by the chinese government. of course, tiktok, bytedance, the parent company are very closely connected to the chinese communist party and i think it is important for us to take all steps we can to mitigate the risk to america's national security interest and to prevent the chinese from spying on americans. so i think it is important for americans to understand that yes, some of these apps are fun and they create a connectivity out there but they need to be safe and they need to be free from the types of national security risks that we think some of these apps, particularly those that are hosted in china, pose to america's national security. >> dana: beyond national security there is concern we've been hearing about. i think it is increasing as more adults are realizing what is happening to children who are on tiktok. this is from the "new york post"

yesterday called sick talk. it was a reporter who said how social media drowns young boys in guns, sex and misogyny. they got on tiktok pretending she was a 14-year-old boy and shocked at all the things coming at her that were kind of destructive, i would say, to a 14-year-old boy's mind. there is a national security risk in that as well. in terms of values and the care of our young people because china cares about its young people. they only allow kids under -- over 14 to be on it all the time or might have some limits. if you are under 14 it is 40 minutes a day. it is wholesome content, a lot of propaganda but we don't do that here in this country. do you see that as a national security threat as well? >> china bans american social media apps like fate book and twitter. they have rules in place.

we have a free market economy when it comes to information and ideas. but i agree with you entirely that the threat to kids these days. there is a very dark side to social media and to the digital age. i think we have to be vigilant about that. it is not only young boys but young girls. we have heard lots of testimony with respect to instagram in particular on the impact it has on teens and pre-teens. just a lot of social problems created with this, dana. i think that, you know, what we address is the national security implication. but i think as a general matter we need more accountability and more transparency from the social media platforms and i have another couple pieces of legislation that deal with that. but these algorithms keep feeding people and get into bubbles and in many cases it is a lot of stuff that i certainly know parents would not want their kids exposed to but there are a lot of dangerous elements to this stuff. i think we have to be -- we all have to be vigilant in how --

the content they see and how it is being used. >> dana: it's not something we can deal with over years but needs to be taken care of sooner than that. thank you for being on the show today. >> bill: there has been a surge of drug-related crime rocking the state of oklahoma. it has more than 6,000 marijuana farms. wait until you hear who owns most of those farms. credit cards and banks tracking gun sales raising major privacy concerns. katie pavlich on the troubling implications next. so it's decided, we'll park even deeper into parking spaces so people think they're open. surprise.

>> bill: tiger woods exgirlfriend is suing tiger woods saying he locked her out

of the home during a messy breakup. it suggests herman and woods called it quits in october and locked in a legal battle ever since. what have we learned so far? >> when details of the couple's split first broke this week so did details of their messy legal battle. wood's ex filed a complaint to be removed from an nda when her relationship with the golfer first began. the speak out act allows for ndas to be voided if there are allegations of sexual assault or harassment. there are no specific allegations against woods in these court documents. these details emerging along with others from a lawsuit herman filed last fall against the trust which owns the home where she and woods stayed. herman said she had an 11-year oral agreement to stay at the home but was tricked into going on a vacation only to be told at

the airport she was quote locked out. the attorney says her lawyers appear to be trying to get the most money for their client. >> the strategy is probably towards encouraging a larger settlement to threaten to go public and to get a judgment that the whole nda is invalid and threaten to take what would be arbitrary into a public forum, public lawsuit. >> woods is no stranger to messes with exs. he was immediately in media with his ex girlfriend crystal smith. this time around woods is likely to settle out of court and court documents show herman is seeking damages that could be more than $30 million. bill. >> bill: not giving it away. thank you, cb. nice to see you. see where it goes. thanks. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: speaking of tiger woods the website put out a list of

states pushing private companies to basically come up with this gun database on their behalf when that is something they constitutionally have been slapped down by the courts multiple times for doing themselves. >> bill: this would be a new code that would align with purchases. but if i were to go through my credit card expenses of last year, they are all in certain categories and listed that way. how would this be any different? >> well, if you look at the reason they're doing this. a big difference between having your groceries listed on your credit cards for budgeting purposes and the government pushing private companies to flag these purchases under their definition of suspicious, which they won't say. essentially they believe all gun purchases are suspicious which is why they are pushing for this code. it creates everyone who buys a legal firearm through a background check at a firearms

dealer puts them into this category of potentially buying something they think could be unlawful. and the fact is that buying a firearm under the second amendment as long as you aren't a felon and go through the background check at the dealership is a legal purchase. comparing this and saying we try to flag things with banks for money landering and terrorism. those are illegally. lawfully purchasing a firearm is not. >> bill: thanks for coming on today. you feel passionately about this issue. arizona girl. thank you for coming on. katie pavlich. >> great to see you. >> dana: a medical emergency could be unfolding. pharmacies running low on drugs. what is driving this and what it means for your health? we're waiting for the start of what will be a dramatic hearing on the hill. the journalists who put out the twitter files. >> there is external pressure on
