6:00 am
>> where do we adopt these dogs? >> go on ama animal rescue.org and fill out an application. >> what a great way to celebrate national pet's day. >> by getting one. see you guys on the radio. stay within yourself whatever you do. >> enjoy. >> goodbye. >> bill: thanks, guys, good morning. 9:00 here in new york city. good morning, everybody. a fifth person has died after the mass shooting at a bank in downtown louisville. the five people were all employees of the bank. so was the gunman. he was shot and killed by police. nine others injured including a 26-year-old brand-new police officer. that cop is listed in critical but stable condition this morning. a lot of concern about his health. much more coming up on this story inside of "america's newsroom." first, however, a national security nightmare in on hands. major intel leak blowing the lid off america's military secrets
6:01 am
and the pentagon scrambleling to contain the fallout how the war in ukraine and how we assess it. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. >> dana: asme owe dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." it is alarming. it started last months when they cropped up on a gamer website and it prompted panic in the halls of government. >> bill: 53 documents have appeared publicly so far. they include sensitive information on ukraine. sources telling fox news the leak does not appear to be the result of a cyberattack. they say it is likely the work of someone on the inside. >> dana: the scope of the leak described as bigger than edward snow den's. it appears to have caught the pentagon off guard and raising pecklation over america's credibility on the world stage once again. >> the administration has no answers. if they can't keep our top secrets safe, how can they keep us safe?
6:02 am
this is another example of us projecting weakness out there. >> dana: former house intel committee chairman mike rogers is here with reaction. we begin with jennifer griffin live at the pentagon this morning. good morning. >> good morning, dana. the revelations have sent shock waves through the pentagon and national security establishment. sources tell me could be worse than the edward snowden leak because of the realtime effect on allies, their trust and the war in ukraine. fox news agreed along with other news organizations not to publish the leaked highly classified documents which were discovered last week. details about the scope and scale of the leak remain sparse. >> we don't know who is responsible for this and we don't know if they have more that they intend to post. so we're watching this and monitoring it as best we can. but the truth and honest answer to your question is we don't know. is that a matter of concern to
6:03 am
us? you're darn right it is. >> so far there are 53 documents that have been posted. most appear to have come from a briefing book prepared daily for the joint chiefs and u.s. commanders overseas. many of the documents came from march 1st but it is not clear all the documents came from the same briefing book. the first images appeared on a gaming website used by gamers called discord. the images, which included folded papers were hastely photographed with items such as gorilla glue in the background and magazine that shows rifle scopes on the cover. right now i'm told it does not look like a cyberhack. it looks like there was a human involved suggesting a snowden-like figure or mole rather than a signals intercept. the leak will have broad ranging impact on allies who deepest secrets are revealed. one of the more damaging
6:04 am
documents involves egypt which has received military aid since 1978. reporting suggests the president of egypt plans to secretly ship 40,000 rockets to russia for use in ukraine. the documents show realtime intelligence about the war in ukraine that may affect the upcoming spring offensive. for instance, the pentagon believes the ukrainians will run out of air defense missiles by mid may. the leak creates tremendous distrust among allies, something that helps both russia and china. one interesting point is that most pentagon officials receive this daily brief on a classified ipad and need permission to print it. suggesting the source of the leak may come from outside the pentagon, dana. >> dana: troubling. thank you so much. >> bill: thanks on that reporter. mike rogers former house intel committee chair during the snowden affair is here. good to have you on to get your insight. you can read this story six
6:05 am
different ways. how do you read it right now? >> well, the immediacy of the damage of this leak is what i think has people concerned. the snowden leak, he took literally millions of pages, downloaded them that he clearly hadn't read and ran off to russia. in this particular case these were very immediate about an ongoing issue. that's what has certainly the pentagon folks upset and concerned. i will tell you this is just another example of why you have to get everything else right leading up to all of this, including when the russians down a u.a.v. in international airspace and not deal with it. when this happens it shows the rest of the world i don't think these folks know exactly what the hell they're doing. >> dana: tell me your thoughts on egypt, for example. with friends like these, right? we give them a lot of aid and to find out that they were actually thinking of working with the russians in order to help them in the war against ukraine.
6:06 am
>> so the one thing i would be cautious, we don't know if it was a conversation the russians initiated and the egyptian were at least entertaining. we don't know that. i don't want to slam the egyptians just yet. what i will tell you is 82% of their grain, i knew this going into last year, they were having huge issues about food shortages they thought would create riots in the streets of egypt because so much grain came through ukraine. remember, when the russians blockaded the grain shipments, it caused a huge problem for egypt. wouldn't surprise me and again this is my speculation, knowing what i used to know and what i know today, that the russians may have been putting pressure saying if you don't want riots in the streets you can help us out and we'll let the grain shipments go. it's a complicated story and shows why the united states has to be right more often than it is wrong on international
6:07 am
engagement. >> bill: try and tie this thread together. you can read deeply in the first question a moment ago, egypt up to $2 billion a year for decades. uae is hosting iran, an issue. they are dated in february, which some suggest that it's outdated information now. there are russian military bloggers that point out misspellings and they are online saying it's a massive disinformation campaign against moscow and the war. can you make heads or tails of that? >> so let's break this up for a minute. if you are -- let's go to where the intelligent spy versus spy stuff. if you had information you wanted to come out to hurt the united states, this would certainly do that. if you wanted to protect the person who is likely copying this material and getting it to in this gaming website -- by the way terrorists used to use these gaming websites of sorts in the past to many could unindicate
6:08 am
classified messages about operations. that's not new. i wouldn't say it was just fun and games. it was likely a way to get that information in the hands of counter intelligence agents or agents of either moscow or other places. and so what i think this all could be is a kerfuffle by the russians to try to ob files indicate how they got it. there will be a man or woman hunt in this particular case going on right now in the pentagon or other intelligence agencies and if you want to protect that source as a handler, you are trying to create as much confusion as you can about the origin of that material. >> dana: so you were the chairman of the intel committee when the edward snowden documents were leaked. what is your confidence level of the pentagon being able to track down how these documents were leaked in the first place? >> it will be difficult. the only good news is i would -- if i were king for a day there i
6:09 am
would start with the documents that have the fewest people's eyes on them and start there because you can narrow that search pretty radically. the problem with these things is we've ramped up so many people getting intelligence and intelligence sharing and they did it for a reason after 9/11 everybody said nobody knew certain things and share more. this may be the result of sharing more. the pool of people gets bigger and bigger. that's what will be the challenge for them. and i think what they are going to have to do is again assign teams on senttive documents and teams on the rest hoping they can come up with information that will lead them to the leaker. here is the scary part. that leaker has more information. it's on an electronic medium today. that person is also likely sitting on a bunch more than just this. this is just the piece that you caught. this person isn't knew to this. these messages sounds like have
6:10 am
been going back a while. u.s. intelligence didn't catch it until recently. >> bill: a great guest. thank you for coming on and we'll stay in contact with you and see what we can find out. thank you. the last point about the pentagon now. they could not tell us how many people had access to this information and as he points out, there could be more ready to go. >> dana: in the meantime john kirby at the white house, he doesn't want the media to cover this. i understand it. it is very unrealistic. watch here. >> without confirming the validity of the documents, it is information that has no business in the public domain. it has no business if you don't mind me saying on the pages of -- front pages of newspapers or on television. it is not intended for public consumption and it should not be out there. >> dana: one of the responses is well it wasn't meant to be on gaming websites, either. it is out there. reporters will cover it. as you pointed out russian military bloggers are saying it's disinformation. you should have some american
6:11 am
media looking at it to see what is true and what isn't as unfortunate as this is. >> bill: maybe more from jen give-in and others at the pentagon today. >> dana: china's military declares it is ready to fight after completing three days of large-scale combat exercises where in a week the taiwan president met to kevin mccarthy in california and politicians visited taiwan. greg palkot with more. >> the dust hasn't settled yet from some massive chinese war games around taiwan and that island's president is furious. we watched in the last three days as chinese naval ships, jet fighters, aircraft carriers and bombers will encircled. staged embargoes and mock attacks on the island that china claims as its own. yesterday taiwan says china set
6:12 am
a record 91 penetrations of its air defense zone by war planes. there are a few dozen ships and planes around today. chinese military officials say they are ready to fight. taiwan did its best to be ready for and fend off real or fake incursions. the president condemned the attack saying they aren't the ones of a responsible major asian nation. yes, as you noted, too, dana, there were triggered by the meeting in california last week between the taiwan president and kedge. another bipartisan delegation came and went from taiwan the past few days and interesting, the chinese drills only started after french president macron wrapped up a cordial visit with president xi as he was leaving he said europe should not get involved in the taiwan issue. back home growing voices in washington for the u.s. to get more involved or at least for president biden to reach out to
6:13 am
chinese president xi. listen to how the white house handled that. >> the president looks forward to having another conversation with president xi. we'll do that at the appropriate time and keep you apprised of that. >> for the moment, however, president biden is on his way to ireland. he won't be reaching out in the next couple of days. sadly this story ain't going anywhere. back to you. >> dana: we're glad we have you on the story for us. >> bill: 13 past. fifth person has now died after the shooting at a louisville bank yesterday. we learn more today about the gunman and what may have motivated him. >> dana: graphic video out of san francisco. a group of homeless people attacking a former fire commissioner in broad daylight. what he is saying about the state of that city. >> bill: nuts to watch that. the white house is weighing an approach to a.i. should the government regulate it? if so, how far would you go or

>> dana: now to kentucky where a fifth victim has died. four other bank executives were shot and killed yesterday morning. the begunman worked at the bank and live streamed the massacre and he was shot and killed in an exchange of fire with responding officers who got to the scene within three minutes of the 911 call. let's bring in kentucky attorney general daniel cameron. this is a terrible circumstance to have you on the show but we're grateful for your time. let's get your initial reaction this morning as you wake up as people of louisville are grieving over these members who have lost their lives and praying for those still in the
6:20 am
hospital. >> well, bill and dana, this has been a tragedy, no other way to say it. come out of easter, resurrection sunday and thinking about the resurrection of christ and then on monday this tragedy, this evil hits louisville, kentucky. my wife and i have been praying for the families that lost loved ones. we pray for those that are in the hospital right now that are in critical condition and know surgeons are working diligently to try to save them and unfortunately we heard of another soul that was lost overnight. this has been a tragedy and our people are hurting right now. i was with some law enforcement officers yesterday after the situation occurred and you could see it on their face. i want to say something to the men and women of our law enforcement community. you are brave, you are appreciated. we are so grateful that you run towards danger and i was honored
6:21 am
to know how quickly they responded in that moment. it could have been a lot worse. but they responded professionally and quickly to put down this evil. >> bill: we hope this 26-year-old officer gets -- can recover from this. when you take a bullet to the head it's anybody's guess. here is what i don't know. many there were red flags but none has been reported just yet. he seems to have a fairly normal up bringing. southern indiana, went to the university of alabama. played basketball. father was a coach for his career. if there is no red flag in this man's life, how do you stop this? how do you suspect he could even entertain the possibility of bringing a rifle and a gun where he worked? >> bill, it is so random. again, you come out of resurrection sunday and everybody was going to work and had no sense based on what we
6:22 am
have understood at this point, that this was going to occur. and there will be a time for conversation about policy and all those things. but it doesn't seem like there was any hint that this would have likely occurred. i know lmpd and the chief and others are investigating right now. we'll see what that investigation tells us. but right now is just an opportunity for us as a community to come together. i know there are several organizations that are on the ground right now to provide and administer aid and support to the families that are hurting right now, to a community that's hurting, and so look, i've got a brother-in-law and sister-in-law that know nick wilt through another friend of theirs. so we are heartbroken as a family at what happened to him. i no he the -- know the governor was close to tommy elliott who
6:23 am
died. it is a painful episode for the commonwealth. what we have to do now is come together as citizens and neighbors and hold each other up and cry out to god. i know there are a lot of folks. we need to pray for everyone involved. >> dana: can i ask as somebody who is involved obviously. you are the attorney general and higher ambitions to run for governor. anything you would have done to change any of the laws that led to this young man having the gun and using it yesterday morning? >> well, i don't think there was anything that was an indication that this was going to occur. i don't think there was any law that could have changed but again, at this moment i know there are a lot of folks hurting and what we need to focus on now are those in the hospital, the families that have lost loved ones and support our brave men and women of law enforcement
6:24 am
community that ran towards the danger, ran towards the fire to make sure that there wasn't more that were harmed during this situation. >> bill: he was 25. can you confirm he was about to lose his job? >> i cannot confirm that at this juncture. i have know he was still employed at the bank but there is nothing on my end to confirm that he was going to lose his job. >> bill: daniel cameron, appreciate your time. thank you. good to see you again. it's hard under these circumstances. best to you and the people in louisville. >> god bless you. >> bill: the white house is weighing new rules for artificial intelligence. concerns grow over the rapid rise of a.i. and lots of tech insiders agree with lawmakers we need restrictions.
6:25 am
china made a move today. mark meredith is live in d.c. on this story. nice to see you. good morning. >> so much of the buzz around a.i. is seeing what it is capable of but the same capabilities like the a.i.-created deep space, the images that look real but computer generated which has so many different lawmakers concerned. it held its first hearing on a.i. in 2016. regulation has remained at a stand still. las year the public debut of the chatbot chatgpt reignited of the debate whether washington needs to regulate this technology. the commerce department announced it will solicit feedback from the public how to regulate programs like chatbots and new a.i. models need to go through certification reviews before being released. lawmakers caution there is no easy fix or one size fits all solution when it comes to a.i. >> we need to be ahead of this but that is not to say i think
6:26 am
the simplistic approach would be we need to regulate a.i. what does that mean? it's a set of codes and algorithms. >> hearing from michael bennett. safety and anticipate risks and mitigate harm. the white house is watching this, too. president biden weighed in on the rise of a.i. last week at a white house event. >> president biden: social media has already shown us the harm that powerful technologies can do without the right safeguards in place. absent safeguards, we see the impact on the mental health and self-images and feelings and hopelessness, especially among young people. >> a.i. tech also has the capability to reshape the economy. commerce department has a.i. is proper jekted to increase global economic growth by $13 trillion in the next ten years. a lot of excitement and questions as well. >> bill: thank you, mark. just the beginning, right? thank you, nice to see you in
6:27 am
d.c. >> dana: police are working hard to find this minnesota mother of two now missing for more than a week. where things stand in the search for madeleine kingsburgy. the press corps in an uproar when they learned president biden will not hold a news conference during his entire trip to ireland. so much for transparency. karl rove joins us on that. ♪ all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're providing greater access to investing, with low-cost options to help maximize savings. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

>> bill: biden expected to leave the white house any moment now flying to belfast, northern ireland. audible growns from the white house when the press secretary said the president would not hold a news conference when he is in ireland. >> dana: ridiculous. >> bill: there was this exchange. give it a listen.
6:33 am
>> any interaction in a formal setting to have a press conference. >> i mean, the president takes shouted questions. >> this is not the norm. >> i'll say this. it is also unprecedented that a president takes as many shouted questions as this president has. and he has. >> no, no. almost every day the former administration. >> bill: if they ain't buying it, no one is buying it. karl, how are you doing? he is with us now. i would think, if you go to ireland today, they still have bars named after kennedy from his visit in the 1960s. if you are an american president, this is the country you go to to feel good, right? whether it was kennedy, whether it was reagan, whether it was obama. if you are going to meet a friendly audience, ireland is your place, karl. >> well, except the friendly audience would be the u.s. press corps which is not all that
6:34 am
friendly given how they have been treated. this was the worst performance since sean spicer said the largest audience, crowd in history was present for donald trump's inauguration. and this was dreadful. he is going abroad. he will be in ireland. there are important issues there. he is going there to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the accord that brought peace to ireland to the island of ireland between northern ireland and the country of ireland. there are problems with it. he is meeting with all five parties. people would like to know what he is thinking about it. we have a massive leak of u.s. intelligence which has grave ramifications for national security and for ongoing conflict in ukraine. people want to find out where the president is on it. taking shouted questions, come on, please. that ain't the way to conduct the business of the presidency of the united states. it is strange and it leads us to wonder why. i know why. they don't want to put him in that setting because it would
6:35 am
show that his age is showing, he is not able to handle that kind of a pressure particularly when he is on a foreign trip and out of kilter because of the difference in time zones. five hours difference between washington and ireland. >> dana: just take a look at this. these numbers won't be a surprise. the number of press conferences that past presidents have had at this point in their presidency. he is way down at 23. everybody else was up 41. one at 92. to her point about that he takes shouted questions. if the white house press secretary and coms team think it is effective communication they ought to be on this side listening in. you can't hear the president episcopal will i when he tries to do it as marine one is gearing up to take him to andrews. you can't understand anything they are saying. even if he is taking shouted questions they bury it. what about the return to norms. i thought we would return to
6:36 am
normal. the normal thing is when a president goes on a foreign trip or invites a foreign leader to the white house, he takes -- they take two questions apiece. i don't understand. i understand the white house press corps is upset but not raising the ruckus i would expect. >> we don't see a lot of these. a lot of the shouted questions turn into a brief paragraph in a print article but they don't turn into live television for exactly the reason you talked about. also because in most instances, the president's response needs to be cleaned up by the white house press operation. take even the conversation you had with al roker where he says i'm planning to run. he has had so few news conferences and he has not addressed issues so infrequently that suddenly that becomes a bit of news and the white house has to say well it was not a formal
6:37 am
declaration, blah blah blah. so i agree with you, he would be better off, the country would be better off by him having regular news conferences and the fact he doesn't have them and it's not normal for him to do what he is doing raises questions as to why. we have to end up with one thing, which is he is surrounded by people who don't think he is up for the normal process of being president and that's troublesome for the country. >> bill: you are saying it is a competency issue. >> yeah, sure. they're worried about him. >> bill: maybe that's it or maybe running from something. fox digital posted an hour ago hunter biden's business partners and assistants visited the white house more than 80 times while he was vice president. that's something. >> yeah. well, they don't want him to answer tough questions. just think about the current controversies. look what is dominating the news the last couple of days. the leak of u.s. intelligence reports. maybe they are worried about him handling even things like that
6:38 am
that are sort of a moment of crisis that every president has to deal with. what are they afraid of him having a news conference in ireland about? he will be talking with the five parties trying to reenergize support for the peace agreement. why aren't we hearing him do that publicly? i think it is because they are worried about what the president might say and how he might handle it and how it would impact people. >> dana: it is not right and not good. thank you, good to see you. >> thank you. >> she had no enemies. she had many friends. never had a bad word to say about anybody. but yeah, it is a mystery to us, too. >> bill: this mystery is in southeastern minnesota searchers trying to find the answer to a mother of 2, 26 years old, madeleine kingsbury last seen dropping off her two children at a daycare a week ago. the disappearance is involuntary and suspicious.
6:39 am
there are no answers as of today. alexis mcadams is live in new york city with more where we think the story is going now. good morning. >> still an active investigation according to the police department. now this morning the family of that missing mom organizing their own search parties scouring at least two minnesota counties looking everywhere they can for madeleine kingsbury. she was last seen 11 days ago after she dropped her kids off at a local daycare at 8:00 that morning. with the kids' father at the time according to police. she then drove home and parked this van in her driveway in minnesota. she has not been seen since then. family called police after not showing up for work or pick up her own kids from the daycare. madeleine's sister says she was texting with her just before she disappeared. they found her phone, wallet and jacket inside her house. family pushing for answers from the police. >> things are pretty close to the vest with them. they obviously don't want to jeopardize any current or future
6:40 am
investigation. they give us what info they can. unfortunately, it is not as much as we would like to hear. >> hard to get information from the police for us, too. the children's dad told police he left madeleine's house at 10:00 the morning of the disappearance if her van. surveillance cameras spotted the van 40 minutes away in wisconsin. the children's father told police when he got back the house was empty, madeleine wasn't there. they are looking into that. hundreds of locals turning out to help in the search for madeleine combing through wooded areas, bluffs and valleys in minnesota and two counties near her house. >> i have a granddaughter the same age. i thought it was important i come out here. >> now police are asking residents to check outdoor cameras, ring doorbell videos to see if there are clues to help locate this missing mom. >> bill: we'll talk to nancy grace next hour and see what she is learning. nice to see you.
6:41 am
alexis mcadams in new york. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: big news, guys. major league baseball fans getting their first taste of new rules designed to improve the game. some of the changes include limits on in-field shifts. i don't know what that is. a pit clock and larger bases. i know what that is. after a week and a half it looks like they're working. you can't argue with success. batting averages are up 16 points. stolen bases up 30%. games are understanding half an hour shorter. >> bill: whoa. >> dana: that makes for an exciting game. >> bill: they are trying to make the game faster. a shift. if your tendency was to hit the ball to the left all the time. they would take the infield and maybe the outfield, right, and shift them to the left so they have a higher percentage -- you are allowed to do it. fielding your ball. >> dana: that's a new rule?
6:42 am
>> it is not new. they're doing it more than they did before. >> dana: okay. >> bill: clarification. >> no, the opposite. >> bill: so remove everything i just said from your brain. if your tendency is to hit it to the left side. the manager would shift your team that way so i got a chance of getting you out. now they can't do that anymore. >> dana: that makes more sense and now i'm fully briefed for my mlb game tonight. >> bill: mexico is coming to america to talk with u.s. officials an the fentanyl crisis at the same time the mexican president doubles down on claims his country is not responsible. can our neighbor to the south be trusted to clamp down on those deadly cartels? fear not, i got you. choice hotels has a hotel for every type of stay. like a comfort with the kiddos. spacious! that's what they all say. stay twice and get a $50 gift card when you book direct at choicehotels.com.

6:48 am
matt, hello. >> good morning, bill. for well over a year now ranchers and property owners right here along the border tell us they feel like they're bearing the brunt of the immigration crisis. we spoke with the owner of a pecan orchard whose property runs up to the edge of the river. she and her husband tell us they have seen migrants drown and right now keeping their eye on the rio grande river because it's high and potentially deadly. >> i think they realize it is higher than usual. they probably don't even know how to swim. they just want to get to the united states. they don't want to be in mexico anymore. they don't want to be in mexico because they say they are being kidnapped, they are taking money from them, a couple of weeks ago i ran into two families that say that the wife had been raped and they were all crying. >> and, bill, all along the river here we find these
6:49 am
identification cards. we found one of a very young child told that migrants ditch their i.d. cards once they get here into the u.s. property hopefully so they can kind of misrepresent their origin or their status. bill. >> bill: thank you, matt finn in eagle pass, texas. thanks. >> dana: mexican officials say they are ready to talk about the u.s. about drug trafficking heading to the u.s. the country's president is doubling down on his claims that the fentanyl crisis does not stem from his country. even as border officials block thousands of pounds of the deadly drug. joining us my co-host on the five geraldo rivera great to see you. maybe the fact this meeting is even happening could be considered progress? >> i think it is progress. i was kind of surprised they are coming here given the fact that they deny any involvement, as you know, the president of mexico says it is not us, china says it's not them.

so they say if it's not us and china, who is it? so they are coming but i think the real reason they are coming, dana, you alluded to it, is these threats, these various threats coming from everyone from donald trump to dan crenshaw to tom cotton to lindsey graham that they will bomb mexico back to the stone age. that they will target the cartels as if they are foreign enemies, declare them terrorist organizations and really use brute force to eliminate the role they play in taking these chemicals from china and mixing this witch's brew that has caused so many deaths over 70,000 last year alone, just from fentanyl. the synthetic opioid that gets put into everything. >> bill: 70,000 deaths in one year, right? the vietnam war went a decade and lost 58,000 men and women.

>> it is staggering. >> bill: what the mexican president is saying is this. we do not produce fentanyl and we do not have consumption of fentanyl. the product itself is made in china. they put it together in mexico. mexico is safer than the united states. there is a lack of love and embraces. i don't know what you think about the mexican president but it is a good thing that at least they are talking. >> i think -- hear me out because it's kind of radical. i believe that donald trump really did in his brute force cause this movement from mexico. i believe that the fear is that mexico, our second largest trading partner with whom we share this tremendous border and so many of the millions, hundreds of millions of americans trace their ancestry to mexico and to latin america.
6:52 am
i think that this -- the need to stop this, the need to understand that the numbers that you cite are unsustainable and mexico has to do something, you know, they complain, the mexican's complain it is a circular trade. they do the fentanyl yes, maybe, united states ships huge amounts of arms, weapons, to mexico. it is this very nefarious, very malicious trade that goes on. but at least now, at left -- i want a mexican in authority say we get it. we understand the problem. we will do something about it. please control -- >> dana: interesting you say their fear of trump's returning to office would cause them. what about the current administration? what are they doing? >> i just don't see. i know that blinken, the secretary of state did go to mexico but i just don't see the
