are your dance skills, shows one. [laughter] you got some running man? ♪'s goat cabbage patch. [laughter] this is what it has come to hear it fox news. [laughter] >> will see you tomorrow. >> by everybody. ♪ x fox on top of the pentagon late spring the world on edge for 21-year-old suspect and very close watch. jack held without bera until eight hearing culver on wednesday for charges that may sound familiar. many of you remember edward snowden or chelsea manning, why does this keep happening here and not really anywhere else was former director of national intelligence john ratcliff. gop race for the white house intensifying, michael pompeo decided he's not jumping in.
7:01 am
what about new hampshire and new hampshire governor will he get in question mckee is here we will ask them. karl rove is here to honor dirty politics getting even dirtier and messier. the food fight ain't over. welcome everyone iran to happy to have you. happy weekend but not happy we can for political ads but will get into that in a minute. the latest on the leaker and what is going down will go to alexandria hoff with more on that. >> fox news sources tell us their additional hours looking at that could have to do with how this young man was given access to critical intel or who else helped to spread it online. the 21 year old air national guardsmen face a judge in boston yesterday for allegedly leaking some of the countries top-secret online. jack's father relatives were there as well meaning a swarm of a price as you can see her into an app and david began sharing what appeared to be transcription of cost information relating to the war
7:02 am
and you create a back in december that sharing actual documents including troop movements in a private group posted on the gaming platform discord and spread elsewhere. was arrested by armed fbi agents thursday. something he may have seen coming as affidavit does he search the work leak honest government computer able to access what progress had been made on the case of our u.s. attorney's office on authorized transmission of national defense information and the authorized removal of a classified material. even beyond the potential consequences of what that intelligence was linked to adversaries and how they could impact our relations with them. former secretary of state michael pompeo sends a bad message to our allies. >> intelligence, the capacity continued to collect intelligence is very real. if your future assets or future friends who you need assistance
7:03 am
from cannot trust you can keep your secrets, keep classified information where it ought to be, the ability to perform is important intelligence functions is diminished. >> once again he's being held in custody pending a hearing that's going to take place on wedn wednesday. neil: thank you for that but let's go to lucas tomlinson at the white house how they are responding to these developments. not saying all that much. >> that is right present by and return from ireland earlier this morning to dover where he spoke about the leaks when asked by reporters. >> ivins get to the root of why he had access in the first place, number one. and number two to focus extensively on the extent to which it all occurred. there is no idea it too pretty to long investigation will take. i do not think is going to take very long. i think it will be the follow-up from the leak of highly classified continues.
7:04 am
they were aware of up to four additional chinese spy balloons in addition before pound chinese spy craft that made the week odyssey before being shot down up the coast in early february. what is a balloons allegedly flew over currently deployed to the western pacific. over 1 million americans have a top-secret clearance. they tell fox the pentagon is looking at how many addition to the leaker had access to the joint worldwide intelligence key mitigation system better known by its acronym and how that information is secure protective state entity blinken spoke about the leaks earlier today from vietnam. >> on the intelligence leaks, what i can tell you is this. we have engaged with our allies and partners since these leaks came out.
7:05 am
we haven't done so at high levels. we have made clear our commitment to safeguarding intelligence and are partnerships. >> we also heard from president biden's the defense department is in charge to make sure these leaks never happen again. although if history is a guide, it will. neil: indeed it is cap time see your .2. lucas tomlinson on that. we remember -- mccall were a low level ranking authorities who had this access. some took advantage of that and stole some of that access be it as it may it does have a habit of repeating itself with a million americans under set they were nabbed here, you have to wonder where we go from here. john ratcliff is a former director of national intelligence joining us this morning is a common theme with these revelations sometimes low
7:06 am
ranking early in their 20 officials. this particular case we had now at least understand wasn't this type of security clearance. when he was 19 years old, what you think of that? >> neil, this is really before 911 intelligence community on a need to know basis and after 911 and the failure to communicate we shifted to need to share approach. in providing more clearances and sharing more information broadly we ultimately ended up with the kinds of abuses we saw with edward snowden and bradley manning using wiki leaks. at that i will say the biden
7:07 am
ministration implement insider threats program to try to address some of those actions. that was intended to identify in the case of both snowden where hundreds of thousands of documents were being moved one case three quarters of a million we thought it was his fewest 50 documents taken one at a time reclassified to the said facility. it was not designed for that type of person who is not even trying to share that information publicly as the others were through wiki leaks. >> if i read this right the two accounts being considered against the espionage act and they concern retention and transmission of national defense information, eight separate web
7:08 am
they carry a combined a penalty 15 years imprisonment. if found guilty on that could be out at the latest by age 36 when you make of it? they could stack accounts those accounts could actually grow. he will be facing greater period of incarceration as more information becomes available. the damage from this was catastrophic. that is going to intensify and prosecutors are going to look up as many charges as they can. it's important to do that from a deterrent standpoint. neil: the president was a pooh-poohing that spray do not want to overstate it but he certainly did not seem overly concerned about it. said these were not contemporaneous secrets being revealed. but apparently they are contemporary enough for china to
7:09 am
deny it was funding or helping either side in the ukraine/russia war. and now taiwan responding to the so-called vulnerability they had to chinese air attack as overstated. they are readier than authorities think. so i guess what i am saying is we are hearing none of this is contemporaneous. apparently it's recent and new enough for them even now the world over to clarify and put out positions to try to attempt this down, what you make of that? what's what i make of it is the president is either out of touch with what is going on or he is being dishonest. which is frankly one of the problems that has come out of this is bad from every angle. jeopardizing our sources and methods, straining relations with our allies in respect to adversaries not just give them a propaganda win reverse engineer how we are collecting to our
7:10 am
security posture to eliminate that pay but also showing the biden administration has been repeatedly dishonest with the american people but much of just intelligence being disclosed. dishonest thing i have no intelligence. china was supporting russia and ukraine. clearly that is not the case. a number of different -- no u.s. forces were in ukraine with special forces of the embassy. they were not effectively spying on us that flew over the country in january when the intelligence community clearly knew it was on multiple occasions. all of those things were the biden ministration is not being honest they were misleading the american people about what the
7:11 am
intelligence said which is just a fundamentally bad. >> is any culpability? it's one thing for the guy releasing the stuff and sharing it with people to be held accountable. what about people exposed to it, and family members that might have been in this gaming community, this discordant social media that attracts gamers. they were exposed to it. responsibility on their part to give a heads up and say look, we are getting and seeing information we should not be seen. >> i think the challenge with that in this case is like the answer to bes to the extent it allows the prosecution. some of these individuals exposed to this were minors. to hold them to a legal standard that should have known they were dealing with classified national security information and had obligations is going to be difficult in some cases.
7:12 am
what i had to know in a couple of their cases. someone did not keep a secret. whether it's one of these gamers or others it all unraveled. but i am just wondering how far does this go? how many i mission provided? >> certainly a lot. a lot because it was on the web or as secretary often like to say in the web for a period of time before the intelligence community noticed it. which is another question that has to be answered here. but to your point into perfect a deterrent effect of this happening again. and the nature of prosecutions it ought to be as exhaustive, extensive and severe as pos possible. no matter what the motivations are whether it's intended to be private or in the case of chelsea manning and edward snowden to be public and use
7:13 am
wiki leaks as a way to amplify it. and none of these circumstances do i find any of this heroic. with the information disclosed outweighs the harm to our national security which is exceptionally grave. what makes this absently catastrophic. neil: is real-time to your points. former intelligence, thank you i appreciate it. this event in affinity you saw this last night in manchester a scary event in new hampshire featuring governor ron desantis protesters storming the stage. he is all right but this does have a habit of happening more often than we would like doesn't it?ur [backgroun md noises] pay off your car loan. consolidate your debt with a va home loan from newday.

7:17 am
's fortune, 18. neil: protesters storming the stage where governor ron desantis was speaking. they called themselves jews against desantis. they talk about targeting the six-week abortion ban the governor was trumpeting right now to say is very tough when it comes right to life and protecting -- he's alright the thing was settled very, very quickly but we have seen this sort of thing before though is highly volatile times. chris sununu the governor of that state. what you make of this. >> you never like to see it as a fellow governor ron did a great job. he's working the crowd. working the potential candidates to do. that see me, touch me, feel me, shake the hand spent some time listening when there's disruptions like this it raises
7:18 am
alarms you've got to make sure security and protocol are in place it looks like they handled it fine. some still in the nation primary circus if you will on a roller coaster sometime in january. neil: on me ask you little bit about what the governor moving back to six weeks into a pregnancy after which you cannot get an abortion state of florida. fifteen weeks before the accepted norm or middleground, what you think? >> out my thing on this overstates going to be a little bit different but some states will be 20 weeks or 24 weeks or 15 weeks. there's some choice being provided and selected a full-blown abortion ban. nothing like that. that is the new norm is.
7:19 am
my issue is is a terrible message. i think it hurts us in the general election there more pressing issues if you will like fiscal responsibility and these are the issues that have to be answer that have to be provided solutions too. i'm not saying it's not a non- issue. we talked into spend it on their our site were talking to stop being so disenfranchised, come back on the team we do not have a repeat sprayed the messaging as a whole is not where it needs to be something will be interesting to see candace on the debate stage talk themselves around it and see if it pivots are not as a pivot in the general election? we want to win in november of 24. neil: only ask about that. are you sick this is a tough
7:20 am
issue for republicans here dating back to the supreme court decision itself. or the way governors or others are being hard lining that. in this case with the six-week requirement. it's about how we message it. into your points saying we should have national abortion bands specially for the more purple independent buses like that pennsylvania, michigan, those issues those talking points really scare people away. if you have leaders at the top of the party just like a precursor that sets the wrong atonement. it is temporally restoring access to this key abortion medication that last another five days.
7:21 am
do you find if they were to rule to forbid it that would further hurt republicans? >> yes, absolutely. it's been down for 20 years. the issue isn't so much about whether get banned or not i am pro-choice i think it should be legal that should be fine. it's about massive changes. roe v wade whether you agree with it or not there is a 50 year precedent therefore there is a 20 year precedent this thing. so now to the american republic it looks like republicans are trying to massively change and blow up the system and all this type of thing. neil: you think it's hurting the party bottom line? >> without a doubt. neil: like pompeo has bowed out of the rates look like he's going to join it, he is not. a lot of people are watching you and your travels thinking maybe you are considering a presidential run, are you? >> yes definitely in consideration. i'm always surprised at how strong the live free or die
7:22 am
message out of new hampshire residents of people. now more than ever people are realizing give the former president terms very strong poll numbers, they are going to be looking for other candidates to jump into spur a new message to bring any attitude, new face, new energy to the primary this fall that's definitely a path. neil: donald trump leads and those poll norms are you surprised even with the indictment that he does question ricky has raised a great deal of money off of that. asa hutchinson a declared president located himself as set even i think the prosecutor went too far donald trump should take himself out of the race. this is a sidetrack issue, what you think? works we all know the indictment has pushed his numbers up that is no doubt. it is made donald trump a victim. the guy is playing a victim card at this point it is working. but again there's so much to play there so much time whether it's desantis or other canister get in, myself, others will get in and really work really talk to folks and listen and earn it.
7:23 am
neil: governor bryan llenas' good see again thank you very much. to the meantime the ad making people feel a low queasy and a lot more than that. donald trump's latest, some say it will not be his last.
7:24 am
7:25 am
7:26 am
ron desantis lowe sticking his fingers or they don't belong. we are not just talking about putting. desantis has his dirty fingers all over senior entitlements. like cutting medicare, slashing social security, even raising our retirement age. doubt ron desantis to keep his putting fingers off our money.
7:27 am
for six i dotes early some of you have not had breakfast that i regret showing you that add freight for luggable's unappetizing in a variety of ways. as a campaign add sometimes the negative ads karl rove is with a former white house deputy chief of staff, best-selling author, fox news contributor. i see this playing out again and again that any time he tweets about bill barr more to the point on a social media sites he says things like pathetic art coward former ag goes on to whatever the ranch per day is. it's always stuff i don't think should come up in the campaign at the legitimate tack on a substantive issue. maybe you went to catch desantis on something like entitlements
7:28 am
and whether he is going to wreck them as a former president seems to be implying, that's one thing but i do not know what you make of this? so the biggest take away i have from this is that donald trump is worried about ron desantis. otherwise why would he be out there now before desantis is even a candidate? the first message me of the former president and his reelection campaign is about is significant primary opponent number one donald trump is worried about ron desantis. and it thanks you need to do something early part second of all i thought is a stupid ad. putting? the vast majority people first about most people will not see this at its a very small bite we are spending more time talking about this ad in drawing attention to it than the ad itself is going to get because it's a very small by the greater scheme of things. neil: the attack light is consistent. the things that are not really substantive that have come up. even back to it last fall on the president showing an image of
7:29 am
chris christie and roy rogers, soon after the former new jersey governor had been critical of chris christie. so i'm thinking to myself you have chris christie out of roy rogers, you are calling the former attorney general and then of course this one, there's a pattern to this. huck switches every time donald trump see somebody is upset about he demands they strike out at him. it is not smart. at the end of the day of donald trump was to win election he lost in 2020 he had 94% among republicans. do you think this is going to encourage people who believe that we need to save social security and medicare from going bankrupt? do you think this is going to cause them to say donald trump has made me feel better about him? no it's not. he needs to lay out his vision and spend less time worrying about personally assaulting other republicans for. >> is not hurting his popularity, carl. >> wait a minute, wait a minute were now turns the evidence there is a before and after the
7:30 am
indictment shows after the indictment his support among republicans drops four points. yes he should be benefited in the short run it's helping his fundraising. but at the end of the day donald trump gets renominate re- because it convinces first republicans they need to be united. you do not do that by slamming every republican with whom you've got a gripe. and second of all by convincing the country he's got a vision for the future is going to make it better. this is not help with either of those things this is where his putting his emphasis. he is sitting amar lago think cap insults about fellow republicans and expecting them to follow mine behind him in late november election if he wins the nomination at the wrong way to go about doing it. since i worked in 2016 did not question or correct it didn't work in 2020 and did not work in 2022 purdue and pull the act up a little bit when you're running it's hillary clinton. they could not hold up against joe biden. he is in worse shape today than
7:31 am
he was two years ago because there are a lot of people, independence in particular which eat one last time around. in 2022 every bit of evidence says trump leaving from 2016 and 2020 said no more and ended up voting for the non- trump candidates. we saw in ohio or mike toye the traditional republican wins by 27 points and the senate candidate endorsed by trump wins by seven and the rest of the ticket pig lecture right on all counts and i want to express here this is not on the right doing or the former president doing this. there is a left wing group i guess they're called blue action which also said to run desantis is looking everywhere awkward and angry and who can forget went chris christie was running the challenge on the incumbent governor what they release they sent out to two very quickly react, you remember quite route for. >> christie threw his weight around at u.s. attorney and got
7:32 am
off easy. if you did not pay your taxes, ignore and ethic laws would you get away with it? chris christie one set of rules for himself, another for everyone else. neil: 's assault got to stop that's all i'm saying it's nuts. click submit make one quick point. he lost he out stepped thierry and add like that and got his clock cleaned because chris christie kept talking about we need to stop this spending. we need to stop the tax increases and we need to put our fiscal house in order and that was the winning a message against trash like that. neil: i hear but this environment would be for winston churchill. to become a world-class leader one of the greatest of the last century. he was a little overweight. i like to call calorically challenge but this stuff is got to stop. next line with the let's limit down. close i get serious about slimming down. [laughter] but here you're saying, karl thank you very, very much. it is just wrong get them on the
7:33 am
issues not on all this other. not any of this other stuff i know what you are saying. we will have more after this. with 32 years in the navy. i know personally what it means to be deployed and how much we want to put down roots when we come home. as a veteran, you've earned the right to apply for a va home purchase loan with no down payment. with the newday va loan, you don't have to save up to move up. helping veterans buy a home of their own. that's what we do. from newday usa, welcome home.
7:34 am
elmer>> hi, i'm elmer heinrich. my company sells immuno 150. if you haven't heard of it, you need to go to the website on the screen or call the toll-free number. we sell to thousands of consumers and our reorder rate is above 94%. now, many people ask us how we can sell a month's supply
7:35 am
of immuno 150 for less than $60.00 when most of our competition is $80 to $90 a month. it's simple! we don't pay celebrities to hawk immuno 150, and we don't pay testimonial people to say something good about the product. immuno 150 stands on its own with its 70 minerals and 80 other nutrients. it doesn't need any help. and it has more than color, taste, and smell. i am 89 years old and my wife is 80, both with no arthritis, no allergies, no aches or pains of any kind - nothing! all because of immuno 150. now, check the number of minerals in the product you take. don't be surprised if you don't find more than 12. order immuno 150 to see what 70 minerals can do for you. order now. you'll be glad you did. i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car? you have the check engine light,
7:36 am
but the heart doesn't have a hey, check heart sign. i want to show you something. put both fingers right on those pads. there you go. in 30 seconds, we're going to have a medical grade ekg. -there it is. -that is you. look at that. with kardiamobile, the fda cleared personal ekg device. you can take a medical grade ekg in just 30 seconds from anywhere. kardiamobile is proven to detect atrial fibrillation, one of the leading causes of stroke. and it's the only personal ekg that can also detect normal heart rhythm, bradycardia and tachycardia. how much do you think this device cost? probably $1,000. $99. wow. that's impressive. it's never been more important to check your heart at home. kardiamobile is now available for just $79. order at kardiamobile.com or amazon. neil: all right, incentives to buy ev or a little bit of arm
7:37 am
bending there? medicine looks at some the new guidelines and by the administration is laying out that makes it almost impossible to stick with your gas powered vehicle at least much longer, medicine. >> neil, we are in new jersey is already been mandated all new cars sold must be elected by 2035. but even with that we really got a variety of opinions from drivers here. the vast majority of the cars on the road today are gas. so you are asking a lot of people to switch. only 4% of car owners have an electric vehicle and many, 41% do not want to give up gas. folks here tell us they are weary of the technology and they also do not love being told what to do while others say they're ready to make the switch because of the environment. >> i live out in a rural area. there is not all the hookups. plus, i mean just the extra expense of the cars that cost so much more progressive do not want a car right now just take
7:38 am
public transit but if i did own a car absolutely want to own electric car because i care about the environment. >> electric probably will in future be good but it's good for trying it right now it's not good for the states precooked at the same as every thing else the government is doing right now. it is intruding on our rights and our freedom. >> cost, another big factor. the average new ev around $11000 more than the average new vehicle. the epa lays out this will infect cost more if the rules are adopted. by their estimates it would cost an additional $633 per vehicle in 2027. it would add a $1200 per vehicle by 2032. neil i will send it back to you. neil: right medicine i appreciate that part of the fact the matter all the cars are being sold about 5% are electric vehicles but the goal is to eventually make them the favorite of buyers just another few years. has his doubts he's in new
7:39 am
jersey car dealership owner. so it may be some miracle will happen along the way where between federal incentives on some of the costs come down for these vehicles they can bridge that gap a little bit. but it will be bridging a chasm right now. >> yes, i agree and thanks for having me on. i agree the consumers are not buying into the electric vehicles for the coming into the showrooms they do not want them, they are afraid of them they are too costly per they're much more expensive than the gas vehicles. no one has figured out the value of a use electric vehicle when you go to trade it in what is the value question if you have to replace the battery on a $60000 electric car the cost of the batter is 35 -- $40000 which is unbelievable. so they are really disposable. i am not so sure i can think this is a democratic agenda. it's the same people make antitrust and fair trade laws.
7:40 am
the government is taking away the consumers ability to make a decision and i don't think it's going to stick because the consumers don't want it and the infrastructures not there. visit sure i own an electric big vehicle but it's not my main vehicle by the point is for long trips i would never consider it as a vehicle because you have to stop, takes a long time to charge for charging stations are busier than ever maybe that will change when there are more charging stations, faster charging times that we are not they're not there by a longshot. i don't think the idea of the government sort of a ramming it down folks throats like they have no other choice there are other choices for. >> correct. i think ultimately electric will be a part of the market like hybrid and diesel but i don't think's going to take over the world. what the democrats are not looking at and clearly think it's a democratic agenda but 80% of the lithium to produce these batteries comes from outside of the u.s. so we are becoming more reliant on foreign countries and i don't think that's where we want to be in the u.s.
7:41 am
neil: another thing. i'm a big believer in the free market that is no capitalism gets abashed but i've not found a better system on the planet yet. but, having said that let the market decide if these things are worth the drop. we have to hand out $7500 credits to get people to buy that even though they're getting along dicier now. there something wrong with that. then the issue becomes what can the market do to facilitate this process? if you're relied mostly keeping the cost your cars or you build your own battery factories for your trying to do something to take control of that to make it easier on consumers. let him market that way. let him respond to potential demand for prices of these vehicles when they come down. but that is his call that is consumers call that's not uncle sam's call. >> correct i agree with you to think the getting involved in business. the reality is if you look over
7:42 am
tesla's growth this is not in the u.s. it's in china but look at the last earnings report. companies like ford and gm are struggling. no one has figured out how to make money on this. borda lost $4 billion last quarter on the electric vehicle market. neil: their savior call from the going to make money off of this when the world moves to this. what if the world doesn't? >> exactly but i agree with you. let the market make its own path through the river will take its course anything at the end of the day the government has to step out of this and let the consumers make the decision on what they want to buy. neil: keep me posted on how things are going on that front. new jersey car dealership owner he knows of what he speaks because he sees it when he talks to the customers every single day. beautiful cars but not quite there yet. in the meantime here florida digging out or should i say bucketing out for in fort lauderdale they had their height 26 inches of rain, just getting out of that. brandy campbell is there right now from "fox weather", branding
7:43 am

physics are very skeptical and comes to companies like china though, particularly china doing what it has done other states and buying up farmland, can you tell cell that is going i know you're trying to prevent that. >> yes put in my state of the commonwealth address back in january i asked our general assembly to send me a bill that would protect our farmland are extensive agricultural lands across virginia from purchased

from bad actors for him virtually those associated with the chinese communist party. we have national security assets like the pentagon, quantico the largest naval base in the world here in virginia. the last thing we want is for bad actors to be buying up our farmland right next to them. >> by the instantly happening in virginia and new york two. my next guest is keen under the same there to prevent the chinese from buying up land and a host of other things in the respective communities. democratic assembly meant titus to join us now but you have the same concerns don't you? >> yes. in the midst of national security concerns but we have seen world events. we have seen spy at balloons several spy balloons fly over the united states collecting data. i instructed my office to begin to look at what assets? what are they looking for? as it turns out we found some

interesting numbers the u.s. department of agriculture reports are almost 800,000 acres of land in new york are held by foreign entities. and across the united states 200,000 of this acres are owned by china. so, it is important that we know where these properties are. it is twofold because it is our food supply. i talked to local farmers here in a lot of these farmers at least these properties. foreign governments like china come in and buy these properties they could kick them off their property. and just stop the production of milk, beef, or whatever they produce for it's a way of patrolling our food supply but where are these properties question at the second part of the bill calls for new york state egg and markets to map these properties to find out what they are being used for and what is their purpose and to show us where they are pure are they near military sites?
7:55 am
are they near sensitive information? these are all important information to know why these properties are being purchased. are they locations we are okay with? we may need to do something else after this bill has passed for enabling to look at these problems are we going to love the chinese government to continue to hold these properties if they are in a position to continue to hurt and threaten our national security? neil: what did they do at the food or materials they farmer have farms in these lands are on these lands? do they send it back to china? do they charge a premium here? do you know how it works? >> the bigger concern is that it is a sense of we lose control of these properties. they may be part of -- we have an inventory of how much agricultural land we had to use. but really when foreign adversaries in this bill covers not just china by the way it covers eight list of countries like north korea, russia, any other countries deemed to have
7:56 am
engaged in conduct like flying spy balloons over our country that puts them on this list. it is a sense of controlling our food supply puts us at risk of having to rely on other countries for our food supply in a position we just do not want to be in prayer we have plenty of agricultural land. we have farmers we do not want to lose control of this very precious and important agricultural land here in ice age across the country. i've written letters to all of our federal representatives urged them to take up the spill in washington d.c. but to cover the entire country so obvious to the states are not going to wait for our federal representatives who take action here. they're starting to do on their own. if you look at the numbers, routine states already do this they already prohibit ownership of lands like this by adversaries 15 are considering legislation right now as we speak new york be number 16 with my bill. neil: it is staggering when you look at the sheer numbers of it. keep us posted on this very good seeing you. >> will do, thank you. >> in the meantime the president
