arraignment for former president trump. good morning, everybody. hope the weekend was grand. dana has the day off today. welcome back to our friend from washington aishah. >> aishah: historic week here in new york city. this is "america's newsroom." right now the former president is getting ready to depart palm beach, florida, for new york city. that is where he will be arraigned on a reported 34-count indictment related to hush money payments made in the run-up to the 2016 election. >> the former president flies to new york at noon eastern. tomorrow at 11 eastern is arriving at the courthouse. >> aishah: the hearing to last 15, 30 minutes. after that he will head back to mar-a-lago and give a televised address at 8:15 eastern. >> bill: the nypd says it has

been put on high alert. officers putting up barriers and closing streets. we'll see whether or not that's necessary in the end. they get ready to move a former u.s. president in and out of that courthouse swiftly and safely. >> aishah: the indictment drawing a lot of push back not only from allies but two senators who voted to impeach him. listen. >> it's a very, very sad day for america. very sad day especially when people are believing the rule of laufe is biased. we can't have that. no one is above the law. no one should be targeted by the law. >> it's wrong. no one should be a target of the law. this seems to be more about the person than about the crime. >> bill: bryan llenas begins our coverage outside the courthouse in lower manhattan. bryan, let's go. >> bill, good morning.

in apparent disbelief former president trump confirmed on truth social he will be arriving in new york city later today quote, i'll be leaving mar-a-lago on monday at noon heading to trump tower in new york on tuesday morning going to, believe it or not, the courthouse. america was not supposed to be this way. trump will stay at his residence in trump tower tonight before his cars takes him to the courthouse four miles away tomorrow. metal barricades are up. some streets will be closed. all nypd personnel have been put on alert as the city gears up for possible protests. trump's legal team is considering asking the judge to move the case from manhattan to staten island for fear trump won't get a fair trial. trump's lawyers say they plan on challenging the legal merits of this case every step of the way, which could lead to months of delays.

>> we will take the indictment and dissect it and look at every issue we'll be able to challenge and i anticipate a motion to dismiss coming. there is no law that fits this. >> the former president is set to make remarks from mar-a-lago tomorrow night after his arraignment amid concern from his lawyers that the judge may impose a gag order on trump keeping him from discussing his case. listen. >> it's difficult for a judge to impose a gag order on a person running for president. you talk about having a profound effect on this country. a gag order would do just that. >> this is the front of that manhattan criminal courthouse fairly tame compared to what we'll see potentially tomorrow. security is tight here for the unprecedented court appearance nor the former president tomorrow. the media has been a circus to

say the least. last thing, bill, the trump's lawyer says we don't expect him to be in handcuff. perp shot and mug shot off the table. >> bill: marc thiessen comes in now. ten days ago you wrote an indictment would help trump. maybe that's what democrats want. i don't know if you have changed your mind since that. jen psaki told democrats to stay away from this. have a listen. >> now is not the time for a mass order of lock him up t-shirts and mugs. that's what trump and his supporters would do. now it's also now the time for democratic candidates to celebrate or brag or predict the outcome of the legal cases. if you can, i would put your head down and stay out of it for now. >> bill: where are we now and where will we be tomorrow? >> that's good tactical advice. the indictment will help donald

trump win the nomination and it will be and help democrats win the presidency and why they are happy about it. donald trump knows it will help him win the nomination. he said he wants to perp walk. why is that? because even republicans who -- majority of republicans want someone else to be the nominee. even republicans open to another candidate don't want to see their country turned into a banana republic to go against political opponents in the justice system. donald trump, even if a majority don't want him to be the nominee he has 77% approval in the republican party. most americans and republicans think he was an outstanding president who did a lot of great things. they just think he lost three elections in a row and don't want to lose a fourth. they don't hate him. so if you have the left going after him in this ways, that's going to cause a rally around effect and it's not just about trump but defending our system and defending the politization

of our justice system that is fundamental. the left always says trump is destroying our democratic institutions. no, the left is destroying them by going after donald trump. this is destroying our justice system and under mining the credibility of our justice system. good lord, you have a former president being indicted on the weakest charge you could possibly bring against him in this case and it is a politicized prosecution and they are the ones destroying our institutions. so there will be a rally effect of the people who say we don't want this to happen. it should be a rally on the left for people who don't want to destroy our institutions. >> aishah: some republicans are thinking maybe it's time for the former president to step aside. chaotic side show according to asa hutchinson. listen to what he said this weekend. >> now that he has been indicted

should he drop out? >> i do. first of all, the office is more important than any individual person. and so for the sake of the office of the presidency, i do think that's too much of a side show and distraction and he needs to be able to concentrate on his due process. >> he is saying this is getting in the way of all the issues that matter to americans. but i think some trump supporters would say this is the core issue. this is what's wrong with the justice system in our country that's dangerous. >> it is dangerous. but he is right in the sense that we've got -- joe biden is the worst president in my lifetime. unleashed the worst inflation and crime wave and the worst border crisis in american history. the real decline in wages. the challenges in our country are astounding. the election should be about how

do we get rid of this administration and replace it with a responsible alternative? the democrats like the indictment even though psaki is warning they beat trump in 2018 and 2020 and in 2022 because it was his handpicked nominees that cost us the senate majority in such a small house minority. they think they have a great deal going running against donald trump. republicans -- i think that donald trump was a great president. i think he did -- from the abraham accords to operation warp speed to taking out sole money. so many things he did in office were outstanding. i don't think he can win and why i'm wore eft about this. a lot of republicans will rally around him now. i think that's exactly what the democrats want us to do. >> bill: joe biden may not make an announcement until july at the earliest or late summer or

fall. watch that timeline. up early in las vegas. have a good time and we'll see you real soon. >> aishah: the biden administration tried but failed to stop the chinese spy craft from gathering intelligence on sensitive u.s. military sites. this is brand-new information fox news not yet able to confirm it. but this nbc report is saying that the current and former u.s. officials report that in late january, and early february, that unmanned device spent more than a week drifting across the u.s. flying over sites like an air force base in montana where we keep one of our nuclear arsenals. apparently we tried and failed. >> bill: seems like we're learning a lot about this story. more to come on that. ten minutes past. 60 minutes last night this was eye opening. watch. >> do you view what's happening right now on the border as a crisis? >> i view it as a significant challenge.

>> why won't you say the word crisis? >> because i have tremendous faith in the people of the department of homeland security. >> the dhs secretary refusing to acknowledge the crisis at the southern border despite the daily drumbeat of images of migrants risking lives to cross. >> aishah: an update on the arrest of a american journalist in russia. is the white house doing enough? we'll ask former dni director john ratcliffe. >> bill: it was a huge weekend for hoops. women's tournament culminating in a victory for the lsu tigers. this game was not without action and not without controversy. >> lsu has captured its very first national championship!'a m. with snapshot from progressive, you get a personalized discount for being a safe driver. say "snapshot savings!"

the southern border. new video showing the border patrol catching groups of chinese migrants trying to illegally cross into the country as large groups of migrants just keep on coming. bill melugin is in eagle pass, texas with more as he begins a new week today. bill, good morning. >> bill, good morning. that's right. gop presidential candidate nikki haley will be touring the border today right here in eagle pass later this afternoon getting a chance to see one of the biggest hot spots along the border. new harrowing footage we want to show our viewers. look at this courtesy of one of our contacts. security visitor showing a small migrant child abandoned on a flotation device floating down the rio grande here in eagle pass completely alone. a texas national guard soldier sees what is happening. rushes to the edge of the river to help. after the video cuts off our contacts tell us that child was later rescued. you talk about the chinese nationals. look at this video our team shot

in the rio grande valley over the weekend. once again fox news witnessing the mass release of chinese nationals from federal custody at a parking garage in downtown brownsville. border patrol sources tell me the chinese nationals will be released on what are called ntaor. notice to appear on your own recognizance. released into the u.s. with a future court date. we saw more chinese nationals arrested at the border. look at these images in the rio grande valley in la jolla during the early morning hours over the weekend. a group of 12 being arrested after they crossed illegally. the numbers of chinese continue to skyrocket at the border . 1700 chinese nationals apprehended since october 1st. that represents a more than 900% increase over the same time last year. in the meantime, human smuggling remains rampant. look at this video given to us by texas dps showing troopers

pulling over a u haul moving truck and find 15 illegal immigrants smuggled inside including three small children. the driver a u.s. citizen from missouri was arrested and charged with human smuggling. an even bigger moving truck human smuggling. look at these images out of el paso. they stopped this moving truck. get inside of and find 58 illegal immigrants who were being smuggled inside of it. all migrants from mexico, guatemala guatemala and el salvador. the driver an illegal immigrant from mexico. now facing federal charges. back out here live nikki haley will be in eagle pass later this afternoon and we're expecting to talk with her. send it back to you. >> bill: bill melugin on the border for us today. thanks. 20 past from last night. check it out. >> do you view what's happening right now on the border as a crisis? >> i view it as a significant

challenge. i have tremendous faith in the people of the department of homeland security and a crisis speaks to me of a withdrawal from our mission and we are only putting more force and more energy into it. >> aishah: there you have it. dhs secretary mayokas refusing again to call the dire situation at our southern border a crisis. but the numbers tell a very different story here as illegal crossings continue to just spiral out of control under president biden. let's bring in our panel know. co-host of the five geraldo rivera and former yuma sector border patrol chief chris clem. thank you for joining us this morning. chris, start with you. the secretary is speaking on your behalf and behalf of so many men and women that serve us on the border there. do you think crisis means withdrawal? >> good morning. absolutely not. i've known the secretary 8 or 9

years. i like the secretary actually. he is a smart and savvy person. his personal journey and professional career, he set himself up to be one of the best dhs secretaries. that being said i completely disagree with what he said. this is a crisis and ongoing for the last two years plus. the numbers and facts don't tell anything other than crisis. look, it is a mess. we need to clean it up and need to solve this problem. look, when you see what bill melugin just reported on, children being abandoned in the river. smugglers putting 50, 60 people in trucks, that's a crisis. people dying, fentanyl getting through and getting into our communities. that's the crisis. we can call it different names, whatever. we need to solve it and fix this problem because american people are suffering. >> aishah: geraldo, what did you make of his answer? >> i thought it was too cool for school, aishah.

define crisis as a time of intense difficult, trouble ordaininger, a time when a difficulty or important decision must be made. disaster, predicament, upheaval, queenedry. no one in the country would deny is the situation at the border. the cameras that fox news has been deploying the last year or so with our reporter at the helm. no room for argument. a couple million coming across without proper authorization. it will only get worse. i like mayokas. i appreciate the fact that he is the first immigrant to hold that job at the department of homeland security. but he has got to stop playing word games with congress folk who only want to score a sound bite for the evening news.

>> aishah: he is not alone. this administration plays a lot of games with words often. also in this interview mayokas said that while migration is up, it is not unique to the border. but the facts would disagree. let's look at some numbers here. this is the number of encounters on the terror watch list arrests at the southern border. we can see how they've shot up over the years under this administration. chris, why won't this administration at least admit that, that the border has changed, things have changed at the border over the years? >> well you are absolutely right. things have changed. stick to the facts. they don't lie. i have no idea why they are focused more on securing a narrative than the border. the stats you showed show there are people from places that want to do harm from this country. not everyone will do bad things.

they are out there and we need to get focused and get serious on this. it is ridiculous we can't be transparent with the american people what's happening and what are we doing to solve this? >> aishah: i want to ask you, geraldo. he says he won't step down. clearly the gop in the house have their sights on an impeachment. what is better, going through an impeachment or stepping down? >> all this impeachment baloney. all it does is bring no help at all to the southern border. we need a system. we need a wall. we need an appropriate order to deal with the fact that the world is on the move. there are millions of refugees south asia, africa, caribbean, the world is on the move. the united states must now be prepared for this part of the 21st century. >> aishah: thank you both for joining us this morning.

we appreciate having you on. good to see you. nikki haley will join harris on "the faulkner focus" at 11:00 a.m. to talk about her border visit coming up. don't miss that. >> bill: in the meantime we have cleanup efforts underway in arkansas after tornadoes and storms devastated that state again. many are gearing up for another round of severe weather. we're live in the storm zone for what could come their way today next. an artificial intelligence is the wave of the future. will the tech titans call for a pause in development? if that happens, does the u.s. fall behind beijing? we'll have a look at that. >> we should have some regulatory oversight for artificial intelligence because it is, i think, a bigger risk to society than cars or planes or -- hallow makes it easy to build a daily habit

tornado survivors in arkansas starting to pick up the pieces after twisters devastated parts of the state again over the weekend. five killed in arkansas. the death toll more than 30 across the south and midwest. another round of severe weather will be on the way this week. we're in hard hit wynne, arkansas with what is happening today. >> more severe weather. not what folks here want to hear after a tornado devastated this community of 8,000 people, killing four here. this after a line of severe storms tore across the south and midwest late last week. 34 people toned and 76 tornadoes in 11 states between friday and saturday. thousands of flights canceled and delayed because of severe weather. little rock got hit with a tornado on friday with 165

mile-per-hour winds and a path of destruction that went on for nearly 30 miles killing one person and injured 50 people in arkansas's capital city damaging up to 2600 buildings. >> it is like a bomb or something. when i was inside i could hear trees breaking hitting the sides of the walls. it felt like the building would fall apart. >> but recovery efforts have been underway in arkansas. work crews have cleared streets. residents boarding up homes and energy of arkansas have restored power to thousands. president biden approving a major declaration for the state sunday unlocking federal aid. looking to tomorrow, we'll see much of the same we saw on friday and saturday. large hail, damaging winds and the possibility of more tornadoes. >> bill: thanks for that. we'll watch it all week. >> aishah: house speaker kevin mccarthy looking to put his

stamp on foreign policy set to meet taiwan's leader this week during her transit to the u.s. she met with democratic leader hakeem jeffries in new york last week. china vowing consequences is a ig the mccarthy meeting would be provocation. the question is, why is this meeting happening here in the u.s. and not in taiwan? he said for so many months now he wanted to go there and that china could not stop him. that's the question if he goes later. >> bill: good thing he is meeting with her while she is here. you'll take off tonight on a play to taiwan with a congressional delegation. mike mccaul and others. >> it will be a 24-hour trip to get there and well oh he sit down from the foreign minister of taiwan and talk to people in taiwan and ask them what they want from the u.s. what are their concerns? >> bill: you'll learn allot. looking forward to your reports there. in the meantime we have this. have a look from a bit earlier this morning.

>> it is a total outrage. he is an accredited journalist. visa, he was out doing his job and it is completely unacceptable for a journalist to not be able to write for his paper. >> bill: that's emma tucker, the new "wall street journal" editor in chief on an issue raising eyebrows around the world. slamming russia for detaining her colleague, evan gershkovitch and secretary of state anthony blinken in a rare phone call with his russian counterpart urging the release of him and also a u.s. marine paul waylon held in russia for five years. john ratcliffe is here. you know the story very well. gershkovitch has lived in moscow for a half dozen years now. been reporting there for various outlets. latest the "wall street journal." his parents are from the former soviet union. how has this administration

handled this so far? >> well, the administration has put themselves in a really difficult position, bill. these are difficult circumstances when nation states grab american citizens under questionable circumstances. it happens in every administration. certainly not -- the biden administration is not dealing with something we didn't in the trump administration. having said that, bill, the biden administration put themselves in a difficult situation about how they handled the bright knee griner exchange in september. many said they were making a bad mistake by exchanging a merchant of death victor boot, responsible for hundreds of u.s. forces either losing their lives or being injured in exchange for an american citizen with essentially a misdemeanor amount of cannabis.

we said at the time this is a short-term feel-good publicity win in exchange for a long-term bad precedent and launch only encourage russian bad behavior in this regard. i think we're seeing that in connection with eve own gershkovitch. folks don't know, bill. one of his primary stories he covered for the "wall street journal" was britteny griner's detention, arrest and prosecution. so now if you look at this, essentially what the russians got was they gave up britteny griner but grabbed this reporter and got a massive arms dealer for nothing. i appreciate what secretary blinken is now trying to do in a phone call but he put himself in a very bad situation. the russians have not been held to account. there have been no consequences for their bad actions. shooting down an mq9 drone

recently, no consequences from the biden administration. he comes in with very little credibility. when his president comes out and says the response is let him go with regard to mr. gershkovitch instead of let him go or else, i don't see the prospects for this changing his circumstances in the short term. >> bill: britteny griner sent an instagram with her wife, cheryl. every american taken is ours to fight for. every american returned if a win for us all. hopefully she will speak out more on that as well. the journal has been all over the story. they wrote this. evan gershkovitch arrest marks a new era of hostage diplomacy. the latest in a list of americans detained by foreign governments on bogus or politicized charges often to gain leverage with washington. one other note here. blinken did talk with lavrov, a

rare conversation between these two since the war with ukraine broke out. last comment on that. >> well, my guess is that lavrov probably found it ironic where he in his best alvin bragg impersonation said something i'm trying to enforce the laws we have on the books and you are trying to interfere in our business. so i think that's the problem with the perception of political persecutions in this country and selective enforcement of the rule of law being used against us on international stage by our adversaries who delight in some of the things that are happening in this country right now. i do think things -- "wall street journal" writes it is an escalation. the first journalist grabbed by the russians. the old soviet union in 40 years. things are getting worse which seems to be something we say a

lot when we talk about foreign policy developments with the biden administration. >> bill: thanks for coming on today. the hand of putin is all over this and we'll watch it by the day. john ratcliffe with us today. thanks. >> aishah: the army has identified the nine soldiers killed in the horrific helicopter crash last week. the helicopters went down wednesday night near fort campbell. family members spoke to fox this weekend. >> he was the best brother anyone would ask for. we shared a room up until -- >> brothers sharing a room. >> all the time. the best person ever. >> he was very loyal. he was scuba certified. we are so proud of him. he was so proud of that. an eagle scout, soldier, paramedic, flight medic.

most of all he was just my son. our son. and a brother. >> bill: tough to hear. hang tough in kentucky. law enforcement in l.a. sounding the alarm over a new county supervisor's proposal. why public safety in the blue city could take another hit. lsu wins big. the game and then celebration came with a bit of controversy. clay travis on what the big fuss is all about. he is next. we must finally hold social media companies accountable. it's time to pass bipartisan legislation to stop big tech from collecting personal data on our kids and teenagers online. ban targeted advertising to children. - booked our trip to vegas! - in this economy? what, are we rich?! ♪ ♪ are we rich?

>> aishah: los angeles is looking to empty some jail cells

and a new county supervisor's proposal would have courts and law enforcement release any suspect with bail at $50,000 or less. what does that mean? that includes folks who have been accused of burglary, assault, even domestic violence. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles with the latest on what is happening in that city. william. >> aishah, the men's central jail in l.a. is overcrowded. instead of fixing it or building a new one the solution here is to stop police from sending any new offenders to jail. the plan is called steps to depopulate and decarcerate la county jails. prohibits the sheriff and local police from putting behind bars any new offender or convict whose bail is set at $50,000 or below. if you commit any of the following offenseens, instead of getting arrested and booked to jail where you later see a judge, police are told to cite

and release that individual on the spot like a traffic ticket. offenses include some of the following. vehicular manslaughter, dui, battery, assault with a deadly weapon. sex with a minor. elder abuse. child stealing. possession of child porn porn, looting, auto theft. indecent -- prosecutors say it is worse than anything proposed by d.a. george gascon. >> the people we put into county jail are some of the most violent offenders this n this country and now you are he lease them because you don't want to build another jail? that's not good policy. >> this proposal comes from progressive supervisors. they claim jails are humanitarian crisis and must closed. since many offenders never show up in court. public defenders are supposed to help them clear their failure to appear warrants so they can

avoid jail a second time. it also tells the sheriff to begin releasing those already in jail with misdemeanors or possible felonies. >> aishah: wow. >> bill: lsu won its first ncaa women's title beating iowa 102-85. there was a bit of controversy. >> crippling possession for iowa. >> oh. >> bill: that call there against iowa's caitlin clark, the player of the year, picked up a technical foul tossing the ball away instead of handing it to the referee raised a lot of cackles. the fourth foul of the game. clay travis with me. nice to see you. watching your tweets yesterday. let's just say that caitlin clark and probably angel reiss

for lsu both coming back next year. together they have put college women's basketball on a level where it has never been before. let's begin with that. >> look, caitlin clark is the steph curry of women's basketball. changing the game. pulling up and taking shots from everywhere. i've coached a lot of young basketball. i have three boys. it's interesting because there is a lot of talk about lebron james and his history and legacy. everybody wants to be steph curry. you can see it filtering throughout all of basketball if you watch caitlin clark play the way she handles the basketball she looks like steph curry. she is one of the most electric women's basketball players of all time. she set an all-time scoring record in the ncaa tournament and she can come back. at least one year, maybe two years. there is going to be a ton of attention on her as she returns.

give credit to lsu. they were great on sunday afternoon. the coach is hoisting the hardware and taking it back to the bayou. like a lot of sports as you well know, sometimes the story that comes out of a game is as much for the officiating and non-basketball-related play itself. >> bill: guys, call for vo1. angel reiss of lsu waving her hand in front of caitlin clark. the game is underway. a lot of people said it should have been a technical foul. reiss had smashing talk after the game. in basketball today, clay, i don't know what a foul is or isn't. suddenly everything is a foul. the relationship between these

two women. both coming back next year. you talked about steph curry. caitlin clark has visibility on the floor that i don't think we've seen since larry bird. how about that? >> for women's basketball returning she is by far the biggest star returning ever. that is drama. it should have been a technical foul from angel reiss. look, i watch men's basketball all the time. men get called for technical fouls for hanging on the rim too long and doing the head thing like you are not tall enough. all the time. so i think certainly that would have been a technical foul. angel reiss might say she was responding to caitlin clark who did the same the day after wrestle mania, the same you can't see me that was made famous and caitlin clark did that to a player at louisville. during the game, if you consider

the context they were calling technical foul on caitlin clark for throwing the ball behind her back. we're talking about a controversy in women's athletics which doesn't happen that often. that's good advertising. >> i can't remember a year where the women were talked about more than the men when it came to march madness. here in the first week of april good for them. clay travis, outkick. thanks, you bet. >> aishah: another busy weekend for florida governor ron desantis. we'll tell you where he was and why analysts say it leaves no more doubt that he is running for president. plus nasa about to make a big announcement, bill, about a historic flight around the moon. the exciting news that you are about to learn. >> bill: all right. , even if you got ppp and it only takes eight minutes to qualify. i went on their website, uploaded everything,
