that could narrow it down a little bit. mark meredith live from washington. hey, mark, i know you are at the white house. have you ever met an fbi agent named one eye? >> man, i'm trying to find the best way to segue through this one. >> steve: there is no segue, get the shovel. >> we can talk about peanut too. america first legal is a group led by former trump steven aide stephen miller says it has obtained emails dating back to 2015 when then president biden was back in office. how close the were to obama officials and business associates of hunter biden. thieves emails came to light because of a lawsuit that this group has filed against the national archives. they appear to show efforts by rosemont seneca, remember that's hunter's former investment firm to get ahead or kill future stories about hunter's involvement with an ukrainian energy firm especially after the "new york times" brought up the matter. in one email to biden

communications aid kate bedingfield eric shearn writes you shaw the "new york times" article any follow up. >> the vp finished an interview with the bloomberg reporter traveling with us. she asked with it. though she assures she she is doing everything she cannot to use it. not unusual for white house aids to track which ones are gaining momentum and which ones are following by the way size what kind of involvement joe biden has had in his son's business dealings. as for the white house, they continue to dodge questions on the matter. >> house oversight says they have got bank records showing a chinese energy company paying three biden family members through a third party. what were they paid for? >> look, i'm just not going to respond to that. i don't even know where to begin to even answer that question because, again, it's been lies and lies and inaccuracy for the past couple years and i'm just not going to get into it from here. >> now, the latest approval

numbers show that the president's approval remaining under water survey by monmouth showing the president's approval rating at 41%. his likely 2024 running mate vice president kamala harris also seeing her pole numbers still in a major slump only 36% approving of her job performance. vp raising eyebrows comments she made honoring women's history. >> so during women's history month we celebrate and we honor the women who made history throughout history. who saw what could be unburdened by what had been. >> there has been a lot of questions about harris' viability on the ticket for 2024. her office recently told cnn that she is laser-focused on her job and not focused on these controversies that kind of pop up week-to-week. as for president biden, is he getting ready to head north. he will be making his first trip to canada since taking office. it should be an interesting day here. steve, ainsley and brian, back to you guys.

>> steve: a lot going on. regarding this story where kate beggedfield was trying to work the bloomberg reporter. comms do that a lot call the reporters what are you working on he just said that the bloomberg reporter was doing everything she could not to use it row mind the reporter no news. soundbite he doesn't talk to his children about their work and they don't talk to him. anyway, said remind the reporter no news there. and if she uses it, avoid getting into past stories like the navy, et cetera. they have nothing to do with it. it is presumed that the navy story was that he was discharged, hunter was, from the navy in 2014 regarding cocaine. and. >> brian: navy didn't want him using it. >> steve: bedingfield said the reporter she, the reporter will only use it if the editor holds a gun to her head.

the next day bloomberg did run the story but it essentially said what joe said. bloomberg, interestingly enough, deleted the story from their website in 2016, according to the wayback machine. and that was way back but, before joe ran for president. >> ainsley: the one-eye story is interesting, too. this fbi mole, the israeli energy expert that has been arrested last month says that the fbi mole, one eye, tipped off hunter's chinese business partners that they were under investigation. this guy, who is saying this, the israeli defense force guy, said that he was arrested to stop him from revealing what he knows about the biden family and fbi corruption. he tweeted out, the doj is trying to bury me to protect joe, jim and hunter biden. his attorney says he tried to inform the doj four years ago that this was happening. that the chinese energy company was paying $100,000 per month to

hunter biden and 65,000 to joe biden's brother, jim. he says they were paid in exchange for fbi connections and the use of the biden name in the china's belt tan road initiative. >> keep in mind any time joe biden says he knows nothing about his son's affairs he is lying. its. >> ainsley: he played golf with his business partner. >> brian: we know tony bobulinski said they met at the beverly hills hotel. and talked about it make sure you take care of my son. they talked in terms and we know he got paid for it. he also lied when he said 51 intelligence experts say that's not his laptop when he knows damn well those were all his emails and they know it was his son's laptop. and last weekend he was asked what about the bank records that show the bidens were profiting off the chinese company he said not true. they are bank records. bank of america. august those are lies. people don't seem to care

of the story it said so hunter had an informant in the fbi or formerly at the fbi. this is obviously a story that is extraordinary. and isn't somebody has somebody on the record who swears that the story is true, we will know for sure. >> brian: you know, but the thing is about one eye. it's not skip or bobby. you know that's a very distinct nickname, one eye. number one i would look for something distinctive about the one eye on his body or does he have one really good eye that's better than the other eye or is there a different color eye? >> ainsley: or did he used to be a pirate. >> brian: a pittsburgh pirate or actual pirate which doesn't pay as well as the fbi. >> steve: we need more answers from the republicans. come on. we are hearing about this from oversight. let's get some more names and figure out who that guy is. >> brian: more nicknames. >> steve: if the person actually exists. >> ainsley: let's talk about interest rates because it effects you if you are buying a

house, it effects your credit card, your college loans. the fed has raised the interest rate by a quarter of a point. this is the ninth consecutive time that they have raised the interest rates. how is this going to effect the banks in the officials say it's too soon to show this latest increase how it is going to affect the banking sector and affect inflation. they are trying to crush inflation. three times higher than the pre-pandemic average. >> brian: they are going to crush us along the way. while they are crushing inflation they're discouraging because raising rates discourages commerce and discourages real estate and makes it tougher to buy a house. >> steve: and then banks fail because people borrow less. >> brian: the mindset is that if the fed does what it was supposed to do, which was teed off to do, raise rates, it will show a lack of panic at the fed because of the bank failures that happened last week it could be going over. if the fed is going to raise rates, how could they be panicked at the same time? that's the theory that might relax things for banks.

>> steve: well, you know, supposition was that they might not do anything, given the fact that those banks did fail. but they raised it a quarter point. they could have raised it, you know, if they were really serious about inflation, they could have raised it half a point. that would have just freaked people out. the action yesterday after the fed head jerome powell said interest rates may top out this year at 5.25. that is so much more. remember, a year ago. it was zero. and now it's at 5%. this is even getting the attention of a prominent democrat, a congresswoman, who said that inflation thing is doing this for the average american. >> what the fed is doing and i'm not going to second guess the fed. inflation is killing people in this country, it really is. people do live paycheck to paycheck. and they are struggling. what we need to try to do is focus on how we bring prices down. >> brian: right. that would be great. >> steve: the federal reserve

has said the target is 2%. right now it's up around 6%. they got to do more. the worry is unless we have a soft landing, a lot of people could lose their job. >> brian: main thing is that people said you flooded and kept printing money and kept rates at zero way too throng keep your job jay powell and once you got your job you realized inflation is not transitory. either lied or didn't. i don't know what is worse not knowing or lying. you started of jacking up rates way too fast. not helping. kevin o'leary weighed in this morning. >> my own rule is never elect a politician that's never run a business and made payroll. that's probably the best thing to do, regardless of party. when they understand and have empathy for how hard it is to run a business and small business in america is 65% of the economy. maybe if we had more leaders on both parties that understood how hard that is, we would have different politicians. that's how i feel about it going into this cycle. now biden is going to get a tremendous amount of criticism

when he focuses on anything that is not killing inflation. but his job, if he's to kill inflation, is to stay the course with the fed. there is no other way to do this than raise rates. it's very fain painful and probably going to cost him in the polls. >> steve: the fed does not have a lot of tools to fight inflation other than interest rates and they continue to jack it up. did you say this is the ninth time. >> ainsley: ninth consecutive time. we are all hurting. we are all going to the grocery store and pay more. we are going to interview a mom of four coming up who is trying to buy baby formula. it's been shah shortage. enfamil had continue to crease their prices. >> steve: the stuff cost 60% more. >> ainsley: eggs especially. how much longer can we sustain this and businesses stay open or parents can afford to feed their children. >> that's wife the president's approval rating is 40% and dropping. >> ainsley: and kamala is in the

30's. >> brian: when you wrestle with women's day at the white house surprising she has 30%. >> ainsley: word salad? >> brian: ashley has headlines. >> ashley: wothe 17-year-old was charged after surveillance video captures him cornering the victim and body slamming her. now, police say the suspect ran off with $4,300 that she withdrew from the atm. the teen is now being held on $100,000. today los angeles school district employees are set to strike for the third consecutive day keeping students out of class. custodians and cafeteria workers taking to the street in the pouring rain yesterday to rally for better pay, increased staffing. teachers joining them in a show of solidarity. california governor gavin newsom though has been noticeably silent on the dispute. not responding to inquiries from fox news.

initially ruled the death of stephen smith an accident. this comes as his family plans to pull his body from the grave. and a strong denial of involvement from the surviving son of convicted killer alex murdaugh. fox nation host nancy grace joins us now. good morning, nancy. >> good morning. yes, it's quite the saga playing out again in south carolina. it's very unusual. this case, as you said, happened back in 2015, so why has it bubbled up to the surface in a full boil now. well, reportedly, during the investigations of the double murder of paul and maggie murdaugh some evidence came forward south carolina law enforcement division that this was, in fact, a murder. and they have outright said it is a murder. and that through some shifting of various law enforcement, it was never investigated as anything but a hit and run. but, let me remind everybody, a hit and run is not exclusive ith

a murder. a murder can be a hit and run. there was one visible wound to stephen smith's head, about a 7-inch laceration on one side of his head. but what troubled his mother sandy is that there are no skid marks. there is no debris like glass or plastic from a car. nothing to indicate that there was actually a car accident. there was about 3:00 in the morning. interesting, it was staged, according to some sources to look like he had run out of gas. but he had a cell phone with him. and he never tried to call anybody. also, his body was in the middle of the road. as if it had been put there on purpose for somebody else to run over, for somebody to find? i drove the area it's about 8 miles from where pat, maggie and paul were murdered and it's pitch dark. i guarantee if stephen smith had

been walking in the middle of the street which i doubt he had would have seen car lights coming. >> ainsley: if it's a hit and run the shoes usually fly off. his mom thinks he was murdered somewhere else and placed there in the road. we will see. also, you have a very interesting special coming up. oh, by the way buster said he did not do this. we do want to say this. he is not guilty of this. they are going to investigate. you have a special, this sounds fascinating. children of serial killers, a nancy grace investigation. what did you learn because about their parents. >> i have got to tell you something, it was amazing. what these children have to say because how can they, for the rest of their lives, trust anybody? you know, i grew up loving my mom and dad. i would never believe they did anything wrong. but these children, now adults are grappling with the fact that their parents are killers. in fact, some of them have already been executed. some of them say they look at their own hands and they see

school board meetings. memo limping the doj labeling parents domestic terrorists a.g. merrick garland saying quote it was not aimed at parents making complaints at their school board and came in a context of a whole series kind of violent threats and violence against public officials. i'm not buying it. moms for liberty co-founder tiffany is set to testify before congress today. tiffany, what do you plan on saying and how do you handle these revelations behind what was going on behind the scenes? >> we are not buying it either. the report that came out released by the house judiciary said that law enforcement officials across the country, attorney generals said there was no evidence for this action to have been taken. so, this is, you know, the national school board association being captured by idealogues and the biden administration and the doj doing their bidding, trying to silence parents who had very legitimate concerns at that time about school closures, mandates, lockdowns, forced masking, and, you know, literacy proficiency that's just been plummeting

across the country. >> brian: right. by the way, nobody wants violence. no matter what happens no one is for that. that's why there is security there. but to have an fbi investigation over parents who might be emotional about their kids is out of control. so, the weaponization subcommittee report sounds a little like this. null all responsive documents are produced and interviews with the responsive parties take place the committee and elect subcommittee continue its oversight to uncover facts that will inform potential legislative reforms. because we don't even know everything yet, tiffany. >> no. we don't. and i served as a school board member. listening is a very important part of that job and the idea that every time parents are going to come before you as a school board member is all going to be rainbows and butterflies is ridiculous. parents have legitimate concerns certainly during the time of covid and the job of school board members to listen. we have the right to petition our government to make them aware of different things going on that we are concerned about. that's the very best of our constitutional republic. representative government and this is really, you know, this

was, again, the nsba, awoke association and the biden administration doing their bidding for them. >> brian: tiffany, what do you plan on saying today. >> i plan to make the representatives aware ever the fact that the biden administration's actions, the doj's actions did, in fact, chill speech. it absolutely had an effect on parents. imagine one second you are making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and the next second the fbi is calling you about your school board speech from the week before is just ridiculous. you know, americans want to trust their government and this has just shown us we have some real concerns here. >> brian: with the moms for liberty do you have democrats and republicans? >> we do. we have a really diverse group of people. these are not partisan issues. the government should not weaponize law enforcement against the people. this isn't a democrat or republican issue. this is an issue about being an american and parental rights are not partisan issues. >> brian: i find it interesting that jim jordan says a central theme to the investigation it's always worse than we thought. do you feel the same way. >> yeah, we do.

at a time during covid when people were questioning what they were trust media and different recommendations from associations to have the weapons of the patriot act, to have parents called domestic terrorists was shocking. and horrible. and should never happen again. so i hope steps are taken to make sure that this never happens again in our country. >> brian: i hope people listen to you today and you are able to get your answers off without being cut off which will be something novel. tiffany justice, thanks so much. >> thank you, sir. >> brian: and good luck. >> thank you. >> brian: the white house dodges fox news' questions on the strengthening bond between china and russia. as president xi jinping vows change is coming. florida congressman carlos gimenez sits on the house committee. he will be live next. ♪

>> steve: 100 percent. >> we made this dragon what it is and put the dragon on a diet in order for them to feel the squeeze and also stop funding the build-up, the unprecedented military buildup that china is doing in order to supplant the united states as the dominant economic and military power of the world. now, russia is going to be used as one of china's pawns in this. they are not -- they used to be the major partner with china. now they are the minor partner and putin has to do what xi says or else, you know, he is not going to buy his oil and his gas and not fund the war in ukraine and other things that putin wants to do. and so, yeah, it's pretty easy for me to answer that question. the change is china is going to be dominant, we're not. >> ainsley: we just need to bring american companies back here to the united states. is that happening? we get some of our drugs from china. we saw the baby formula shortage. why don't we have more americans building companies here and

taking away that business from china? >> we should. and we need to incentivize companies to come back to the united states or come back to our hemisphere. there is plenty of good, cheap labor down in south america. we need to look at our neighbors to the south as a solution to this problem of the supply chain. and, unfortunately, we have been looking to the far east for that we need to come back home. and, again, put this dragon on a diet because it's needed and we can't continue to feed the dragon that eventually is going to gobble us up and we need to face it and face it right now. >> steve: it was within the last year or so that congress passed the chips bill, which essentially is a great big incentive to have semiconductor manufacturers here in the united states. but that's going to take a couple of years. so, you know, it's just everything else. it's everybody's phone. the phone in your pocket was made in china. >> yeah. yeah. so, look, it took us a while to

get to this point. we thought that by, you know, making china a partner, a member of the world trade organization, using capitalism, that they would somehow change. they changed all right. we made them stronger. we made the chinese communist party stronger. politically they haven't changed at all. they are persecuting their own people. they are committing genocide. unfortunately, american companies have, you know, made excuses for them. it's time that stops. it's time for these companies to come back to america. >> brian: the good news is a lot of democrats agree with you. one of the bipartisan things that gets me very encouraged. >> ainsley: they don't need to increase the corporate tax. >> brian: absolutely, that would be great, too. congressman ron desantis, now governor ron desantis, sat down with piers morgan and talked about how he viewed the russian and china threat. >> what is your view of putin. >> look, i think he has grand-am bigs. i think he is hostile to the united states. i think the thing we have seen

is he doesn't have the conventional capability to realize his ambitions. so he is basically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons. i think he is a war criminal. this icc, we have not done that in the united states because we are concerned about our soldiers or people being brought under it. but i do think he should be held accountable. >> brian: so your thoughts? is he accurately describing russia and the threat? >> yeah. russia, you know, is a third world economic power with -- well, it looks to be a second class military power outside of the nuclear weapons. and he is a gas station. you're right. and china needs that gas station. that's why this partnership is going to blossom in the future. and that -- those two, china, russia, but also add iran and add north korea, that's going to be the four stools, the four leg of this stool of this axis of evil. >> brian: all right. >> ainsley: thank you. >> brian: yeah, thank you very

much. >> ainsley: all right, the full interview that you saw a clip of with ron desantis is going to be on piers morgan uncensored drops today at 4:30 p.m. eastern time on fox nation. >> steve: we have seen a clot of clips. it looks terrific. time for headlines a quarter before the top of the hour and ashley joins us with news from the sky. >> ashley: good morning, guys. the faa is issuing a safety alert to airlines following a series of dangerous new misses. while the overall numbers do not reflect an increase in incidence and occurrences, the potential severity of these events is concerning. six serious incidents have occurred on runways so far this year. in response the faa hosted a safety summit just last week. now, to a chilling armed robbery caught on camera in los angeles. police are searching for this man, seen here running towards the victims. who quickly put their hands up and dropped to the ground when he takes their cash, cards, cell phones and a disish handbag before just casually walking off. police believe same guy is responsible for a separate

stickup nearby which unfolded within an hour of this crime. stare stuff. the securities and exchange commission settled with a group of celebrities accused in a crypto promotion scheme, actress lindsey lohan, union boxer, jayapal and musicians promoting crypto currencies without disclosing they were paid to do so. the tweets like this. posted by lohan in 2021. by settling the celebrities were r. not admitting guilt but the group paid fsec $400,000. $1,000 per month. that is how much the city of philadelphia just wants to pay pregnant women with no strings attached. infant mortality in philadelphia is a solvable crisis. we know that being able to better support pregnant people and new parents helped keep babies alive. 250 women from low income households will get monthly

>> steve: today at noon, the grand jury here in new york, in the donald trump probe, set to reconvene after manhattan d.a. bragg abruptly canceled yesterday's hearings sources telling fox news there is, quote: a major dissension within the d.a.'s office over the weekend on the case and

convincing jurors about any potential charges could be a tough sell. "fox & friends weekend" co-host pete hegseth joins us now. pete, it sounds like the problem is. >> hi, steve. >> steve: a couple days ago what they did was brought in a guy who do some testimony and essentially what mr. -- what this bobcats tell low said was that you canned trust michael cohen are we supposed that guy we just heard as not trustworthy. >> and these jurors in the grand jury a group of average citizens who have to be convinced that these charges should be brought. they have effectively been given one side of the story by d.a. in the manhattan prosecutor was office. once that story is interrupted oh by the way our chief piece of evidence, he is a liar came out from his attorney in 2018 from

michael cohen's attorney saying this was a private payment crump in nothing to do with it. i don't know how alvin bragg can bring this case he never should have in the first place. this has always been about get trump. >> already had the intended impact on the rally around the flag for donald trump. if they wanted to help trump they have already done it. now it doesn't look like they will be able to bring charges because of the common sense of private citizens who see through this stuff. >> steve: comes down to common sense and looks -- we have been saying the case was iffy, given the facts. and now who knows, an indictment today? tomorrow? maybe not. peteing so we wanted to pick your brain on given your military service. recruitment goals. even these days the military has gone woke. listen to republicans talk to the pentagon about that. >> china is like militarysing

much under trump and now on hyper drive under biden, you have families saying why would i send my kid to the military when i could send him to the local college to get indoctrinated with this nonsense and they won't get shot at. be all you can be is the new slogan they brought back. families aren't buying it if you can't be all you can believe if you a believe a certain way or have traditional values or face a quota system. the army has been trying to tell us diversity is our strength. no, inside the army, the unity of purpose is our strength. your skin color shouldn't matter one bit. >> steve: listen, folks, be all that you can be and join pete, he is going to be at the yankee doodle tap room in princeton, new jersey tomorrow breakfast with friends given your basketball history with princeton, right? you have two seconds. >> because we are in the sweet 16, baby. first time since 1967. i played very little. i was on the squad. we played in the tournament one year. but we're going to cover it.
