and what will he face at tomorrow's arraignment. on the other side of this flight, trump will be in new york city and we have already seen the police commissioner, the mayor, everybody getting ready but they are going the one thing gerri said, they are talking trump and cannot stop talking about him. we'll be covering every second. we promised to do that. and now "america reports." >> john: harris, thank you, the former president on his way to face the first criminal indictment of a former u.s. president in history. hello from washington, i'm john roberts. hello to you today. >> gillian: good to be with you, john, i'm gillian turner in for sandra smith. the former president departed his home in mar-a-lago, he has big plans to spend the night at trump tower. he will face the 30-part

indictment. bryan, how are the next 24 hours going to play out? >> yeah, gillian, good afternoon. obviously once the former president arrives here in new york city, he'll spend the night at his residence. and tomorrow morning around 11:00 a.m., his motorcade will come about 11. and we expect him to get his fingerprint, perhaps mug shot taken. at that point we don't expect him to be handcuffed but expect him to make his way down a hallway into a courtroom on the 15th floor. there will be a video camera in the hallway, we'll see that. trump will enter for a 2:15 arraignment, we expect it to last about 15 to 30 minutes. trump will be read his charges, presumably, going to plead not

guilty and released on his own recognizance. then fly home to florida, he's set to speak about 8:15 p.m. in mar-a-lago. as far as security, new york city mayor eric adams said no credible threats to the city at this time. the city is prepared and he's not really that concerned about tomorrow. there will be an increased police presence, he's asked new yorkers to take mass transit and stay off the roads. the mayor said no violence or vandalism in the city. >> there may be some thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, a message is clear and simple. control yourselves. new york city is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger. >> the mayor said he believes

tomorrow will be a day marked in the new york city museum for its historical significance. as far as what we expect outside the courtroom tomorrow, there is a protest planned by the new york young republicans group, alongside marjorie taylor greene. they are calling for a peaceful protest. >> gillian: bryan, thanks very much. >> john: the former president settles into his luxurious leather seats up to new york city, he could find himself in more legal trouble over the handling of classified documents retrieved from his mar-a-lago residence in january. multiple secret service agents connected to the former president have been subpoenaed and several are expected to testify before a washington, d.c. grand jury. that could happen as soon as this friday. the grand jury appearances are

related to special counsel jack smith probe into the handling of classified documents. comes as a new report in "the washinton post" says the department of justice may have more evidence against the former president and his team, including mr. trump may have personally looked through boxes of documents after being subpoenaed by the government. >> gillian: john, legal analysts across the channel have been telling us for several weeks of the two investigations they perceive the one you just laid out to be the stronger case to potentially pose the greater danger to the former president. >> john: and there are so many people on both the right and the left side of the political fence saying they were not sure why alvin bragg is making a point of this, that he had to take a misdemeanor charge, statute of limitations had run out, boot strap to a felony charge, the statute of limitations ran

longer, and got buy-in from the grand jury, and maybe from the judge in terms of moving forward at least with the arraignment tomorrow. there could be, according to trump sources, a motion to dismiss the case. we'll see where it goes from here. i don't think it's going to be over any time soon. >> gillian: and hopefully the rest of the general public will get a look at the charges unsealed tomorrow as well. maybe that will shed some light. >> john: none of us know what the charges are. >> gillian: amazing the speculation swirling out there. >> john: he's been out of office for two years and three months, still all anybody is talking about. >> gillian: interesting. we'll keep an eye on that. the pentagon will hold a briefing after a new report claims the chinese spy balloon was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive u.s.

military sites, despite the biden administration claiming otherwise repeatedly. complete coverage now. michael allen is standing by, but first mike emmanuel. what else are you learning about the spy craft this hour? >> it was able to send back in realtime images and some communications intelligence. china was able to control the balloon to make multiple passes over key sites, figure 8 formations and transmitting back to beijing in realtime. national security council spokesman said he cannot confirm reports it gathered sensitive intelligence but the u.s. took protective measures. >> intelligence gathering platform, why we took action knowing it was going to enter u.s. air space. we took action to limit the ability of this balloon to

garner anything of additive or especially useful content. >> pentagon officials tell fox news any centrals or electronic intelligence was of "limited intelligence value." the top republican on the senate intelligence committee this morning offered this assessment. >> there's a reason why these things fly. they fly over the country to collect signals, intelligence, part is a test to see whether they can penetrate our air space, and video, still pictures fed back in realtime, that's what this was. >> u.s. officials insist they learned a lot about the chinese balloon program from studying it in flight and now looking at the wreckage and two months after it was shot down, the balloon is back. gillian. >> gillian: the balloon is back. thanks so much. >> john: michael allen, former

special assistant to president bush and from the national security council, we have been assured the balloon had been in effect neutered, but it was actually intact. >> they deserve to be called out for this. they acted as if they had handled this during the transition across the united states. they suggested, they hinted that they were jamming their particular balloon so it could not transmit signals or intelligence they had collected on or nuclear weapons bases back to china when in fact they had. so, this is deserving of more congressional oversight and taking a close look here. >> gillian: something that shocked me, i don't know about you or anybody else, but from the get-go, the administration never shot down the idea that this balloon was collecting anything, right. they never said it's not operational, not collecting intelligence. now we learn it may have actually collected significance

intelligence. that from u.s. sensitive u.s. military sites where classified information is handled and stored. why is that ok? sort of boggles my mind. prosecuting a former president for mishandling information yet allow the balloon to hover over and do what it wants. >> i didn't appreciate them downplaying the threat. they know good and well it's critical to the chinese, trying to prevent surprise. they want to know where the nuclear weapons are, what kind of signals are on the base, and that's so the chinese can get a signature so that they might be able to figure out when it is in a time of conflict how or whether we spin things up and for the biden administration to sort of underestimate it and oh, nothing to see here is

irresponsible. >> gillian: i think the words were limited value, and all intelligence is value. >> i thought it was core to what the agencies are trying to do. >> john: calls into question to let it float across the country. remember what nikki haley said on february 17th, listen here. >> the idea that we would sit there and look to the sky and have a chinese spy balloon looking back at us is a national embarrassment. the problem is we have to start treating china like they deserve to be treated. >> john: in her book have entailed long before this got to the u.s. mainland taking it down over the gulf of alaska or the hinterlands of montana. >> i think the biden administration was caught not paying attention. element of the chinese strategy they needed to pay attention to, so they were unprepared to deal with an aggressive new element

of chinese intelligence collection in the united states. by the way, which is not only balloons, it's tiktok, it's very aggressive activity in the cities collecting against dissidents, it's a presence at many universities around the country and you've heard the fbi director say how much they have to open a counter intelligence case against the chinese. this is a broad comprehensive effort by the chinese communist party, we need to wake up. >> gillian: russia and ukraine, seems a new aid package tomorrow to ukraine, on the heels of secretary blinken urging russia to release the reporter they have essentially kidnapped. what are the odds they are going to comply with the request? >> very low. the administration has signalled through the previous diplomacy on britteny griner that we

really wanted to get involved in the hostage swap negotiation business and unfortunately the chinese have taken another pawn off the table. and so they are going to -- the russians have taken another -- somebody off the table and over time i think they are going to try to extract things from us as we are the biggest supporter for ukraine. so i think this is a real troublesome development and i think putin, basically accused as a war criminal, has created, or has done another horrible act. >> john: i think the swap for victor bout for griner, wow, that was a great deal, see if i can do it again. >> and left paul whalen behind. ridiculous. >> gillian: several l.a. jills to be emptied of convicted criminals. a new proposal that critics say would release violent criminals directly on to city streets. >> john: and oil prices spiking.

>> gillian: saudi arabia and other opec+ producers announced oil production cuts. to cut 1 million barrels a day from may through the end of 2023. analysts predict this will likely raise prices across the board. gas prices are up $0.11 from a

month ago. expected to go higher in the summer as they always do. phil, thanks for being with us this afternoon. >> thanks for being here. >> gillian: you have the sort of perfect storm analysts are ringing alarm bells, opec cuts combined with strategic petroleum stock, and now the busiest travel season. how high do the prices go? >> oil could get close to $5 a gallon again. united states was the biggest producer of energy in the world, we turned away from, turned the power back to opec and they are going to use it and sure did, and it's a slap in the face of the american people and a slap in the face to the biden

administration that opec made this move over the weekend. >> john: once again, phil, when global oil production diminishes because of cuts implemented by opec, reforces the idea that the united states was self-sufficient and could be again. the president approved a willow project in alaska, a few hundred million barrels of oil. the same time he did, throwing a bone to his left and environmental groups, he put off limits, thousands of other acres of federal laughed that could be developed for oil exploration. if we look at how the united states catches a cold when the global oil market sneezes, do we need to kind of look at whether or not we are doing a better job of i mmunizing ourselves? >> we have to. the policy is inconsistent,

incoherent and don't know what they are for and against. he killed the keystone pipeline, put on drilling moratoriums, and complains when prices go up and says the oil companies should produce more. the biggest mistake, the immature way he handled saudi arabia, saying we are going to make them a pariah state, and use the oil reserve to teach them a lesson, and if they don't what we want them to, we are going to flood the world with oil. >> gillian: to that point, phil, john kirby earlier this morning on the u.s. supply, your reaction. >> i can say we have been

consistent in our plans to refill the strategic petroleum reserve and try to do it at a good deal for taxpayers. that will be subject to what constraint, by congressionally mandated sales, but still have every intention to rebuild the reserve. >> gillian: so they have every intention to refill the spr, but they have not been able to. prices have remained stubbornly high for them, the administration is months behind schedule. its own timetable for replenishing because prices have remained to high to make sense for u.s. taxpayer dollars. >> they sure failed at that, right. it's a lot easier to sell it from the reserve than buy it back. and the administration said what a great trade, we sold oil below

$100 a barrel and bought it back below 70. they signalled to the market they were going to buy oil back when it went below 70 and 1 of the reasons why opec cut production this week is because the united states reneinged -- renegged on that, right? energy secretary granholm said we might not fill the reserve this year or years to come, and i think that angered saudi arabia, they blame the united states for the selloff in oil because of our banking issues here and now they are paying us back with this production cut that every american is going to feel at the pump. >> john: it won't take long, prices are already on the rise. phil, thank you so much. >> gillian: thanks, phil. >> john: dramatic issues, abandoned migrant child drifting alone down the rio grande.

inside the race to rescue that child. >> gillian: and the field of republicans seeking the white house continues to grow. asa hutchinson has thrown his hat in the ring. will it make waves or nearly a ripple? we have david and kevin standing by. >> i'm convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of america and not simply appeal to our worst instincts. i believe i can be that kind of leader for the people of america. n, but you're right on track to reach your goals. my ameriprise advisor helps me feel confident about my financial future. he knows me and my goals. it's not the first uncertain environment he's helped me navigate. probably won't be the last. but with his advice, i know i'm on track. the plan we created can withstand uncertainty. no wonder clients rate us 4.9 out of 5 in overall satisfaction. because advice worth listening to is advice worth talking about.

>> gillian: nikki haley is touring the southern border, trip comes as large groups of migrants cross the border into the u.s. illegally. new video shows border patrol officers catching groups of chinese migrants as they attempt to cross. and fox news has harrowing news footage, a child drifting alone

during the rio grande. bill, where was that video taken we just showed? >> it happened directly behind where i'm standing in eagle pass, we'll get right into the video to show the viewers one more time, courtesy of one of our contact, the small migrant child drifting down the rio grande alone. a texas national guard soldier rushes down to help, the video then cuts off but the child was later rescued. you mentioned gop candidate nikki haley was here in the del rio sector. take a listen. >> find out the guts of this and

bring to light what's happening, this is a crisis -- >> and you mentioned chinese nationals. this is video over the weekend in the rio grande valley, mass release of chinese nationals released in front of a parking garage in downtown brownsville. border patrol sources telling fox news they are released via the notice to appear with their own recognizance, released into the u.s. with a future court date. take a look at this video showing the chinese arrested over the weekend. we were up in the early morning hours in texas as this group of 12 chinese nationals came across and was apprehended by border patrol. the number of chinese continues to shoot through the roof. more than 1700 apprehended since october 1st. those numbers reflecting a more than 900% increase. and lastly, another moving truck, human smuggling bus.

take a look at these images out of west texas, the city of el paso. texas d.p.s. stopping a penske moving truck. inside they found 58 illegal immigrants being smuggled, from mexico, guatemala, el salvador, the driver facing federal human smuggling charges. and back out here live, nikki haley, we expect to talk to her in the next 30 minutes or so. in this del rio sexual misconduct, border patrol announced they arrested a child rapist, a rapist and ms13 gang member who crossed illegally in this sector. >> gillian: bill, thank you. >> john: former arkansas governor asa hutchinson officially tossing his hat into the ring in the 2024 gop

candidate, and taking aim at trump and his announcement urging him to drop out of the race due to his distracting legal issues. >> now that he's 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 is too much of a side show and distraction and he needs to be able to concentrate on his due process. >> john: political panel now, david and kevin. gentlemen, good to spend monday afternoon with you. so, asa hutchinson, only declared republican candidate to be calling for the former president to drop out of the race. david, that is not going to make him popular with a large percentage of the republican base. >> it will not, and he does have to hope that that percentage of

republicans who are looking for an alternative candidate, that he can coalesce them. running for president seems to be the favorite activity of former arkansas governors, mike huckabee and bill clinton, and asa hutchinson was on the indictment team that ultimately impeached bill clinton and can hutchinson use that to get him the numbers he needs and level of support and fundraising so he can make the debate stage to make the case to republican primary voters he should be the nominee. >> john: let's take a look at that. 2028 when sarah huckabee might throw her hat into the ring, extending the dynasty of former arkansas governors, although she would probably be the current governor. look at the polling, latest fox news poll, former president

donald trump leads with 54%, he has improved his standing. ron desantis, his standing has declined. asa hutchinson at 1%. it's a big hill to climb if he hopes to get near the nomination. he was a popular governor but does not necessarily translate to the national stage. >> it's a huge hill to climb for the former arkansas governor, and a direct play for the never trumpers as part of the nomination fight. and folks, nikki haley, and mike pence, others coming to the defense of donald trump as part of this indictment. but you are seeing asa hutchinson stake his entire candidacy and the announcement around the indictment, and south carolina specifically early primary state, that's where i am right now, allows for undeclared voters to participate in the

primary. so i think he is going to make the case with a majority of independents, making a case to those voters. but interestingly enough, the one person that is celebrating this, is donald trump, the more people that aren't donald trump in this race the better it is for the former president. >> john: right. let's take a look at trump as he's winging his way to new york city, i've been in contact with eric trump. eric says his father's mood is good. he's as tough as nails and i promise you he's going to save america. david, what do you think will happen politically in terms of the arraignment and the aftermath of it. >> what we know, john, we will continue to be a divided nation. you'll have those on the right who feel he is being unfairly

prosecuted and they will further be angry at the system if the president -- when the president is successfully cleared of these charges, then you will have the left be upset and they will look -- move on, unfortunately, the next trial they want against the president. whether it be when he was running for president or when he was president or now that he's post president, what we are guaranteed on is that the progressives and democrats are going to sue him and they are going to try to bring him to trial for anything. and will continue for the president until he's no longer on this earth. the democrats will go after him through the courts and it only leads to a more divided nation, which is not good for us. >> john: some advice that former white house press secretary jen psaki doled out over the weekend. >> now is not the time for a mass order of lock 'em up t-shirts and mugs. that's exactly what trump and his supporters would do.

now is also not the time for democratic candidates to celebrate, to brag, predict the outcome. if you can, i would put your head down and stay out of it for now. >> john: can democrats resist the temptation, kevin? >> yeah, i think that's great advice from jen psaki. and you saw president biden when asked specifically about this, he has declined to get engaged and comment. the white house wants to focus on the president travelling to minnesota today, for example, talking about the chips investment and infrastructure with the split screen of, you know, the former president arriving for the indictment and arraignment tomorrow. so i think hopefully democrats will heed that advice and cooler heads will prevail and let the process play out. >> john: kevin, david, good to talk to you. it's going to be a big political week, gillian. >> gillian: oh, yeah. it's amazing to may that people are continuing to enter the race as this all unfolds.

it's just interesting some people are trying to go about business as if it's usual. >> john: and then some current democrats thinking well, maybe i should challenge joe biden from the independent perspective, joe manchin has been kind of dropping hints, we are going to talk with josh about that later on. >> gillian: we'll ask him about that. manchin maybe dropping hints on the air this weekend. >> john: i thought maybe he would become a republican. >> gillian: he'll tell us when the time is right for him and not a second sooner. author james patterson, wondering why his recent book, real life law enforcement stories, is not on the best seller list, despite the fact it has outsold other books that made the cut. what he's accusing "the times" to do to him and other authors. >> john: and banning chatgpt

over privacy concerns. comes as tech leaders call for a pause on a.i. development. how dangerous would it be to allow our nation's adversaries to race past us? >> i think china embodies one of the key dangers to a.i., which is it is very good at piercing digital data privacy and allowing companies to amass a huge amount of data.

don't know if you can see it here, took my son up to -- took our son up to the space station with him, that's our son and his halloween costume, and reed was kind enough to put it on his ipad and a picture of him in the international space station. way to go tonto, what an amazing trip. >> gillian: you and hundreds of millions of other americans will be rooting him on. >> john: i got so excited during the 1960s, i'm still excited. italy now the first country to ban a powerful a.i. chat bot while the government looks at privacy concerns. which chat bot, kelly, is italy banning? >> they are going after the very popular chatgpt. the government has issued a temporary ban. they are calling open a.i. from

getting personal data and no age regulation. italy is not the only country with concerns. germany also reportedly considering similar measures. that's juxtapose with china and russia doubling down. amidst the recent meeting, president putin said by combining our research capacity and industrial capabilities, russia and china can be world leaders in information technology, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. china has been a leader in a.i. for some time, 2017, the ccp made becoming the global leader by 2030 a key goal. and beijing utilizing the tech in everything from smart cities to its military. according to mckenzie, on track to generate 600 billion annually from a.i. and stanford ranks the capability second only to the

united states. as china's commitment to the space grows, tech leaders are calling for a six-month development pause over threats to civilization. critics are worry china could leap ahead. so, the question becomes, which is more dangerous, allowing a.i. to develop unchecked or allowing china to get ahead of us. back to you. >> john: a lot of people have met their demise in the movies from a.i. let's hope we don't suffer the same fate. kelly, thank you. >> gillian: is l.a. county gearing up to empty out some jails, empty jails, excuse me, of convicted criminals. a plan to decarcerate jails. plus this. >> i feel the promises he made he has not fulfilled on, and just like i said, the country is so divided. >> i think we are being mismanaged. to a severe degree. >> john: some d.c. residents up

i live in los angeles. very honest with the fox viewers. socialist board members and we have the george soros in l.a., alvin bragg of the west coast, they want to eliminate criminal justice system. they don't want people serving in jail. they want criminals to co-exist with citizens on the street and gillian, our city and county in los angeles is not safe. >> gillian: leo, i guess the obvious follow-up question is why. why do they want that? >> i'll tell you why. i've been a civil rights attorney for 30 years. they claim that the jail system is systemically racist. problems because of racism. i will submit to you and everyone watching, the people running the system, we have a black mayor, a minority board of

supervisors, we have people of color. where is the racist bogeyman? but the democrats play that card and los angeles county, state of california, we have a socialist system of government where they allow criminals, these criminals who have committed the crimes to get out of jail and join the existing criminals who you portray in the videos to roam the streets and terrorize citizens. >> gillian: i pulled thshgs i wanted to read it to you, give me one second. this proposal in l.a., the democrats who proposed it say they want to declare the state of mental health services and overcrowding in the l.a. county jails a humanitarian crisis, requiring the county to move with all deliberate speed on meaningful solutions. let's say for the sake of argument right now, that there is a humanitarian crisis. are there any sort of -- are there any interim measures available to these city officials, somewhere between
