answered all your questions? yes, yes, get to the point, get to the point. balance between authentic and then too much. >> someone offered to come and help me organize my kitchen the other day, i thought was -- >> that was me. [laughter] it wasn't me. >> thanks, everyone for watching. don't forget to dvr if you cannot make it live, here is "america reports." >> nerves are certainly frayed at this moment. >> the down fall of the bank, the reason it had to be closed was that it couldn't meet depositors. our banking system is sound americans feel positive it's there when they need them. >> treasury stated no losses will be borne by the taxpayer. do you stand by that statement? >> yes. >> sandra: we will dig into that. america's top banking official in the hot seat facing tough

questions about the integrity of americans' banks. she says americans are not on the hook for paying back the depositors. >> john: critics call it a bailout, the biden administration refuses to call it that. and why some think we are headed for a banking tsunami caused by woke obsessed bankers. >> sandra: but first, it's going to be a breaking news two hours ahead, waiting two separate briefings from the white house and the pentagon how the u.s. will handle russia. all this after dramatic new video showing moments a russian war plane downed a u.s. drone over international air space. hello, welcome, sandra smith in new york. >> john: happy friday eve to you. "america reports." in the 42-second video clip, you

can see the plane dumping fuel on the reaper drone before colliding with its propeller over the black sea, russian ships are at the crash site trying to obtain debris, the u.s. does not have any ships in the area. >> sandra: not only are we there, we are told they rushed there, john. john kennedy says one major ally is not pulling its weight. >> john: what have we learned from the video, mike? >> the release supports what the pentagon has been saying since tuesday and undermines russia's denials. one of the first things you see is the su-27, approaching the drone from the rear. plume says it's the fuel dump.

drone pilots say the dump would not have disrupted the operations of the drone. and a second fly-by, but the feed goes to color bars, apparently when the drone was struck. and stills released showing the mq9 propeller intact, and a second showing it damaged. they say it was probably not deliberate, the pentagon says the aggressive flying was deliberate. >> i can tell you with certainty that we have absolute evidence of the contact, and very aggressive, you've heard about the dumping of the fuel and everything else, we have video evidence of all of that. >> now an official tells fox news the russian navy wasted no time getting to the location southwest of crimea, about 70 miles southwest of crimea where

that drone ditched into the black sea. but if you remember from yesterday, general mark milley said the wreckage is in 4 to 5,000 feet of water, and any valuable technology on the drone is probably destroyed and worthless now. >> john: difficult for russia to deny after the video. >> sandra: republican louisiana senator john kennedy, headline germany needs to step up and pull its weight in ukraine. why are you calling out germany in this moment, senator kennedy, welcome. >> because germany deserves it. the united states of america and germany are dear friends and friends tell each other the truth and the truth is that germany is the largest economy in europe, the fourth largest economy in the world, and

germany is not pulling its weight in terms of defense of european sovereignty. it's not pulling its weight in the war in ukraine. it's not pulling its weight against russia aggression, and it needs to do better. >> sandra: senator, are you pleased with what you have heard so far? we obviously carried that live news conference yesterday with the joint chiefs chairman basically saying ok, this happened, when questioned about russia's intentions, we don't really know, he said. about recovering anything from the drone in the waters there in the black sea, said we'll see, it's pretty deep, don't know if anything is recoverable, only to then this morning find out that russian ships rushed to the location obviously with interest in recovering anything from that american drone. so, what exactly is going on here and are you sensing the

urgency you would expect after this happened? >> a couple of points, sandra. that's a good question. number one, russia does this often. putin is a bully. number two, at the moment i think putin is very frustrated. he thought he was going to roll through ukraine like thunder on a summer night and he's losing in ukraine because europe and the western world stuck together. but i don't want to overstate this but i don't want to under state it. we need to speak in very frank terms to putin and say look, you have this habit of flying your fighter jets close to our aircraft, in this case a drone, we are not saying it was intentional that you knocked our drone down. truth is, we don't know, but it

better not happen again. and if you think we don't mean business, i give you the -- don't make the situation worse. >> sandra: similar sentiment on rep waltz, he talked to harris earlier this morning. listen. >> this is part and parcel for russia's agenda to own the black sea. biden ordered all of our ships out of the black sea before the war even started. if we pulled our ships out, our manned aircraft out, now we have unmanned aircraft in international waters and the russians want to force them out, too. and the response can't be do nothing. >> sandra: what do you say to the american people who see this happened who sense it was another provocation from russia who sense that we are doing anything, that this administration is not responding firmly enough. how far would you like us --

like to see us go in our response, senator? >> here is what i would say to the american people, and also to president biden. number one, peace through weakness never works. number two, weakness only invites the wolves. number three, putin is a wolf. he only understands strength. but he's a bully. the truth is -- the russian people are great people but putin has turned it into a third rate country with weapons. smaller than the economy of the state of new york for god sakes and we need to stand up to putin. general milley, i hope you are listening, too. we need to send a very strong message we are not going to

tolerate this. >> sandra: but asking how, how do we do it without being words, senator, or is that enough? >> i think words are part of it. i don't want to start a war but we need to draw lines in the sand and tell putin these are lines you cannot cross and if you do, there are going to be consequences. what the lines ought to be, that's up to our millennium -- military. it started with president obama when he drew a line in the stand and we ignored it. >> sandra: you just put it up, germany is not pulling its weight, you say, senator. current spending by share of gdp would not place germany in top ten nationals for financial support for ukraine. appears to be in into rush to send weapons. before moving an inch, germany

demands the united states move a mile and the biden administration appears to be playing along. ok. so, you are calling out germany. what is the risk in doing that right now? >> none, in my judgment. if germany gets mad, i don't want them to, but they need to call someone who cares. i love germany, dear friends, but not pulling their weight. we are pulling our weight in ukraine, but germany is not. it promised to start spending 2% of gdp on military, it hasn't. it promised to set aside $100 billion to get its military up to snuff, it hasn't. you know, what you do is what you believe and everything is just cottage cheese. the truth is, germany is the

most powerful economically in europe. but germany and the other european countries are totally dependent, totally on the united states of america for their national security. now, all of our european friends who are not pulling their weight need to do better but germany is the worst in terms of doing that because the economy is so huge. it has the money, it doesn't want to put it up. the chancellor, chancellor says we are more worried about energy than we are about defense. well, he needs to get a set of binoculars and see what russia is doing in ukraine. that's one of his neighbors. >> sandra: quite a moment we are in and the release of that new footage of the russian jet taking the drone down is really something and the american people see it, they are awaiting the update from the pentagon a

short time for now, we will be watching for that. thank you so much, senator. john kennedy, joining us us from the hill, john, but we all saw the moment the video was released, it was hinted it would be released, looks like an obvious provocation from russia taking down that drone. >> john: and it would appear the pilot probably did not intend to hit the drone, but close enough to get the fog of fuel over it, but took out its propeller and it went down and the su-27 headed back to its home base in crimea. we'll talk more with mark esper in the next hour here on "america reports." so look forward to that. fox news alert, breaking news in the murder of the father of four shot to death in jacksonville beach last year. arrest of mario fernandez

minutes ago, arrest hours after a man previously charged in jared bridegan's killing pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. phil. >> arrested this morning in florida, the second husband of jared bridegan's former wife. he's been a suspect for a long time as he was once the landlord renting out a property to the only other person who has ever been arrested in this case who the state attorney said this afternoon that he has now admitted to being the triggerman, married to hernandez, jared bridegan's second wife, now a widow, spoke briefly. >> we are so angry, angry they

were walking free we were grappling with the reality jared wouldn't be here for future memories, vacations or tender moments with our kids. >> the former microsoft executive was executed in february of last year. 13 months ago, after he left his ex-wife's house after dropping off their twins. as he was driving home, he had to come to a stop because there was a tire lying in the middle of the road. when he got out of the car to move the tire he was ambushed and shot to death while his young child from his second wife who you just heard sat in the back seat hearing it all. the only person charged today is 61-year-old henry tenet, career felon. they have been looking for accomplices believing he did not act alone and announced that he pled guilty to second-degree murder and is cooperating with investigators. the big question, what was the

motive? the state attorney says it's an active and ongoing investigation and so they are not commenting on what they believe is motive at this time. john. >> john: i'm sure we'll get more on this as the hours progress. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: breaking news, out of the house oversight, actual evidence of a money trail from china through a business partner of hunter's and then into the bank accounts of biden family members. we have got a live report on this breaking news ahead, plus this. >> you are invited to speak here and i'm asking for administrator to -- [indiscernible] >> john: stanford law students who heckled a conservative judge going after the dean who apologized for that. the stanford republicans group

>> john: breaking news, a report in the house oversight probe into the biden family finances. the first actual evidence of a money trail from china through a business partner of hunter's and then into the bank accounts of biden family members. senior national correspondent is here. >> when you look at some payments here, james comer claims subpoenaed bank records show president biden's daughter

in law received money. and comer says a firm wired a transfer of $3 million. and rob walker sent hundreds of thousands to members of the biden family. >> everyone says it was for an energy deal. well, it looks to me like these people who were closely aligned with the chinese communist party sent $3 million to a shell corporation and then they turned around and split it three ways with a third going to the biden family. three different family members for no apparent reason. >> much of this is from u.s. treasury department documents, the house oversight committee just reviewed, comer says walker initiated the transfers two months after joe biden left vice presidency. he worked with a chinese energy firm cese.

democrats say the republican investigation is an overly broad and partisan inquiry into private citizens who have never held office. critics say hunter biden has been under investigation for several years and pros -- prosecutors have yet to charge him. >> john: the oversight committee put out a memo which details what they found, claims members of the biden family who received money from the account in question include hally biden, james brian biden, robert hunter biden as you pointed out. people are wondering after this long investigation is there anything that resembles a smoking gun. does this get close? >> the question is what exactly would -- did that money go to, and what they are trying to find out is first off, when vice president biden when he was vice president, undue influence, did

he change american policy, do anything that warranted these types of connections and that his family members would get paid for. that's a question that they are looking into. what democrats point out, legitimate, it may not look good, but there's nothing illegal about that. nor is there anything illegal about the long list of those in government whose family members have used their last names to try to get business deals. but that's what they are flushing out and james comer, the chairman of the oversight committee who has gotten access to all the treasury files, that's what they are trying to flush out. >> sandra: rich, fair to say, though, this is the actual first money trail evidence we have seen go from china through hunter's business partner into the bank accounts of biden family members. >> yeah, that's right. we learned last night in some interviews on our network, three

family members were involved, and we have those names, and that has come out in just these documents here the last couple of hours from comer's office, comer has also said in the interviews there are 6 to 7 biden family members who he believed are going to be part of all of this, that they are not giving specifics on those names, sandra. >> john: thank you for the update. see you soon. [indiscernible] >> john: the dean of stanford law school, a trump appointed judge was heckled by students during a school event. dean jenny martinez sent a letter apologizing to the judge, the students hurled verbal assaults at them. the letter prompted them to cover her classroom with

posters, some of which read where is his apology, referring to judge duncan. walker stewart, his group is demanding the university take action. stewart is also the executive editor of stanford review and a junior at the university. walker, it's good to talk to you. this is a story we have been following the last few days here, the dean of the law school stepped up and appeared to do the right thing. this is a federal judge from the fifth circuit court of appeals, he was invited there to speak and treated rudely. >> and yet you mentioned dean martinez is being shouted down by her own members of her own class, and on monday 50 out of the 60 students out of the seminar were protesting her apology. and it was for something that was very clearly wrong, seeing on march 9th where judge duncan

was shouted down, she apologized and the students were deeply upset, majority of them. >> john: and apologizing to what amounts to a violation in college policy. what she and stanford president wrote to judge duncan, they say what happened was inconsistent with our policies on free speech and we are very sorry about the experience you had while visiting our campus. our disruption policy states that students are not allowed to prevent the effective carrying out of a public event whether by heckling or other forms of interruption. staff members who should have enforced university policies failed to do so and instead intervened in ways not aligned with the university commitment to free speech. we are taking steps to ensure something like this does not happen again. i'm going to get to that intervened in inappropriate ways, but talking not just about

students unruly or got out of line, they actually violated college policy. >> you are exactly right and what's most remarkable is the end of the apology where they say we are taking steps to make sure this does not happen again. has stanford taken a single action, even disciplined dean steinbeck, let alone fired her, they have not done that. and so when they say they are taking steps i'll believe it when i see it. >> you mentioned dean stein back, the associate dean at the law school, she was present when the judge was speaking and he stepped back and said hey, you invited meer hoo -- me here, an associate dean got up, took to the podium and said this, it's -- and said it to the judge, uncomfortable to say for many people here your work has

caused harm. again, i still ask is the juice worth the squeeze, the pain, the division this causes. do you have something, so incredibly important to say about twitter and guns and covid it is worth this impact on the division of these people? what do you think of that? because she's getting up there and deriding the judge because of his legal opinions. this is a law school. you are supposed to think about two sides to an argument. >> well, clearly stanford law students don't want to do that and it's truly remarkable because if the students really didn't like judge duncan, all they had to do is not show up. they actively showed up to his talk, disrupt it and left. they denied him the act to speak about the topics to students who were interested and that's most appalling about the situation. >> john: what do you think quickly should happen here? >> i think as i wrote, dean steinbeck deserves to be fired and stanford needs to make a

true commitment to actually upholding freedom of speech, not just in name only but actually taking actions to back it up. >> john: we'll keep watching this and see what develops. walker stewart, good to talk to us. appreciate it. >> sandra: we are waiting a news conference at the pentagon. plenty of questions about the recovery efforts for that drone that went down in the black sea after a russian attack on an american piece of equipment. dramatic video of the collision just in. we will listen for the briefing when it begins at the pentagon. >> john: the white house holds a briefing for the first time in nearly a week. the president has been out of town. this as some democrats come under scrutiny for their ties to the now defunct silicon bank. an annie -- andy will explain why

security for the u.s. banking industry. that's obviously helping boost markets at this hour. we are watching that, and we were joined earlier with this reaction calling it favorable market reaction, including for what was a badly hit first republic to media reports some financial institutions are considering a substantial deposit in that bank. sounds like an industry effort to establish a fire door lowering risk details where key. so we'll be watching these developments as they go through the trading day, dow up 318. john. >> john: good to see the industry is taking care of its own. minutes away from the white house press briefing, press secretary karine jean-pierre, america's top banking official faced tough questions this morning. chad pergram is live at the capital, so chad, they insist the taxpayers are not going to

be on the hook for this. >> wait to see. treasury secretary janet yellen says taxpayers will not foot the bill to cover the losses at silicon valley bank but a new fed plan to help struggling institutions. >> i'm concerned about the precedent of guaranteeing all deposits and the market expectation moving forward. inflation played a key role as rising interest rates and mismanaged interest rate risk led to a crisis. >> svb invested in treasuries and had to sell them at a loss. yellen says fiscal contagion is high. >> the bank had a high proportion of uninsured deposits, which made it

vulnerable to runs and it experienced devastating run. >> svb is not the only bank facing problems. they asked why signature bank made questionable investments. it also went under. >> signature failed and almost a fifth of deposits came from crypto. lay 20% of this on crypto, notoriously unstable, you know, thing that nobody here even understands. >> bank committee chairman brown says congress loosened bank rules at the requests of special interests. brown is promising an investigation at the banks and the regulators. john. >> john: chad pergram with the latest from capitol hill. thank you. more details to come. sandra. >> sandra: and critics are concerned those responsible for the fallout will not be held accountable. why? because the direct ties that

democrats have with some big bank executives. the next guest says woke obsessed bankers and the president fueled the tsunami, but you'll economic up the check. andy wrote that piece, andy, you caught our eye with that piece. what is your message here and do you believe anybody should or will be held accountable for this collapse? >> well, the message is president biden's policies of extremely excessive federal spending when the pandemic was basically over starting with the now ironically named american rescue plan drove inflation, everybody knew it was going to drive inflation, it was not just me saying this or you, everybody from art laffer to larry summers said don't do the spending. they did it anyway. apparently the banks were unaware, the interest rates were

going up, and they ignored the risk. there was a great article in the financial times this morning interviewing employees from silicon valley bank who said the executives were too focused on the social and political issues, woke issues and not focused what it takes to run a successful business. i can -- if you want something you can bank on, companies focused on profits will be more profitable than companies that don't. and having run a public big company i can tell you it's hard enough to make a profit when you focus on it, let alone when you try to change the world pursuant to a leftist agenda. >> sandra: we have a white house briefing coming up. fine to say it's not a bailout, how is it not a bailout? the deposits are backed by the fdic, that's what the president announced, and the solution was

to avoid contagion in the american banking system. fdic is funded by american taxpayers. how can you say it isn't a bail out? >> they made an argument they are going to tax the banks. number one, they had a sale for this bank. they could have sold it. they had a sale, a company that was ready to buy the bank and they didn't sell it. if you want to help the depositors, make it so taxpayers don't pay, sell the bank. a very, very clean solution. next, they claim they are going to tax the banks to pay for this. the banks will raise fees and consulers will pay the fees. no way the taxpayers don't pay for this. >> sandra: and the regional banks, they moved it into the big banks and to your point, the big banks are baling out the little banks and they can raise fees. larry kudlow, i was on with him last night, andy, our good

friend, and teed off in his opening monologue. >> such a slew of crazy left wing stuff, gave $73 million to the marxist blm, black lives matter matter, and full of hillary clinton donors and nobody understood bank management and $5 billion commitnent to climate and diversity, equity, inclusion, woke investments. >> larry is coming up, he'll join us next hour with more on that. andy, so is it not only a bailout but also a bailout of his democrat friends? >> look, larry nailed it. it will be a bailout of his -- you know, the tech sector is obviously very heavily dominated by democratic donors. but you know, the real problem here is this isn't just this bank. when i talk about the tsunami, you've got sam bankman fried,

putting people into bank, and disney, defended half his target market. businesses are pressured, compelled particularly by large asset managers like black rock and van guard to adopt the policies rather than focusing on their businesses and running business in a way that's sustainable and profitable. >> sandra: at the cost of shareholders. >> you are going to see the collapse, the cost of shareholders and the public. >> sandra: they are obligation is to shareholders, a breach of their priorities. that's a breach of their obligations. put on the screen when we are learning, the svb board members and ties to democrats, you've got kate mitchell, $50,000 to hillary clinton's 2016 campaign, mary j. miller worked in obama's

treasury department, and contributions from svb. andy, we are actually now seeing the big banks step in in the case of first republic now, there has been a lot of market concern about what will happen next with that bank. the wall street journal is reporting these major banks, are going to deposit billions of their own money into first republic which has seen the depositors flee. the market seems to have a favorable reaction to it. >> i'm glad the banking system in the united states is not going to collapse. but we would not need these solutions, would not need the big banks to step up to save the little banks if we had rational economic policies in the highest

obama white house. people are incompetent, they don't understand the economy, led us on this horrific inflationary trend, massive interest rate increases. this is really a misguided group of people, and somebody needed to do something to rescue the white house and if we don't make changes soon it will happen a lot more. >> sandra: andy pudzer, thank you for joining us on that. dow is up 316 points. good to see you. >> john: a short time ago rich was telling us from some breaking news from the committee on oversight, the chairman, james comer, says he has evidence that shows payments from the chinese communist party to a middle person into the bank accounts of members of biden family, including beau biden's

widow, hallie biden. the white house telling fox news after a disgusting attack lamenting the president's deceased son beau, comer will go after his widow. perhaps they should work with the president to deliver results for american families on important priorities like lowering costs and strengthening healthcare. so you've got differing opinions on both sides of this issue, and certainly house oversight committee will continue to investigate this. some people are lamenting that republicans have been looking into this for a number of years and have not come up with a smoking gun. we'll see if it brings them anycloser to it. >> sandra: the press release from the committee, the press release does indicate dates, times, amounts of money.

subpoenaed financial records. from 2015 to 2017, hunter, james and hallie biden and others received 1.3 million in payments from accounts related to rob walker, the biden family associate, john. and dated march 1st, 2017, h.k. limited, a chinese company, wired 3 million to rob walker's company, the next day the company wired $1,065,000 to a company associated with the family associate of the biden family. afterwards, the biden family received approximately 1,065,000 in payments over three months in different bank accounts. received approximately one-third of that money obtained from the china wire. and that is per the press release from the committee, john. >> john: the big issue here, was it ok for hunter biden to be

doing business with entities in china, even if it did seem to be some sort of way of -- for the chinese entity to be getting influence in the united states or was there some illegality involved here. the investigation conditions, will continue, we'll see where it goes. critics, including a former black lives matter activist are sounding off after the san francisco board of supervisors voted to accept a draft plan giving each eligible black resident $5 million reparations payment. joining me now is leo terrell, a civil rights attorney and fox news contributor. it's $5 million for each eligible individual, $97,000 a year for 250 years. just might be enough incentive to live to be 250 years old. but there's 109 other items here

in the reparations plan. what do you think of the whole thing? >> i think it's ridiculous, it's illegal, unconstitutional, and no justification for the numbers. john, those numbers are basically ambiguous and speculative. and under this plan, get this, john, under this plan, just because of our skin color the mayor of san francisco would be eligible for this. why? there was no slavery in san francisco, there was no slavery in california, so how can you have victims? and why punish the san francisco taxpayers who are nonblack. what did they do to hurt them, to hurt anyone in san francisco because no one was a victim of slavery. >> john: laura ingram had on last night a former blm activist, he's a conservative, criticized the proposal. >> as an american, i'm looking at this list and i see that they

are wanting to sell homes at $1 to black americans, as an american and someone who used to live in the san francisco bay area, it's disgusting, we are more focused on slavery which ended in 1865, than we are on the veterans on the streets of san francisco, and begging for spare change. >> he claims white liberals in san francisco are trying to indoctrinate black people with a victim mentality. what do you think? >> that's correct. the white liberal, it will not come out of their pockets. they profit off of playing the race card and john, the reparation argument is the ultimate race card. ultimate way for the bidenist country and the democratic party to cleep black americans in the democratic party. i left the democratic party because it became a racist party. i will tell you as a civil
