>> new details emerging about the 21-year-old massachusetts air national guardsman who is now facing charges for retaining and distributing classified national defense information. jack teixeira is accused of leaking hundreds of u.s. classified documents on a social media platform. welcome to fox news live, i'm alicia acuna, hi, griff. griff: hi, alicia. i'm griff jenkins. and teixeira is being held in boston ahead of his next court appearance.

the latest on the biden administration's response. hey, lucas. >> before leaving ireland last night president biden spoke to reporters in dublin about the leak of classified information. >> i've instructed the department to make sure that they 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's no way to predict how long an investigation will take. i don't think it's going to take very long. i think we're getting to the bottom of it quicker. >> now more leaks of highly classified information has been discovered. u.s. intelligence agencies were made aware of additional four chinese spy balloons in addition to the 4,000 chinese craft that made the odyssey over the u.s. before it was shot down. over a million have top secret clearance, the pentagon is looking how many in addition to the leaker had access to the

military's joint wide intelligence communication system better known by the acronym a-wics. >> we've engaged with the allies and partners since the leaks came out and we have done so at high levels, and we have made clear our commitment to safeguarding intelligence and our commitment to our security partnerships. >> and we also heard from president biden's attorney general who says the defense department is in charge to make sure no leaks like this happen again. if history is a guide, they probably will, griff. griff: everyone seems to be focusing on his age, 21, is there a lot more to it? >> u.s. marine corps 70% of the entire marine corps are made up

of young men and women underage of 24. and millions of americans held clearance at a young age. and where the leaker took this top secret information from, how did somebody so low ranked in the massachusetts air national guard have access to things like the chairman of the joint chiefs, the top u.s. military officer's briefings. it's the access that's a question right now and why this information is not compartmentalized and held more securely, griff. griff: that must certainly be giving a lot of folks at the pentagon a pause as they address that i would guess. >> there's no question. right now, they're looking how to keep the sensitive information secure. the big question, who needs to know. if you remember the massachusetts air national guard and you're not working on ukraine, there's no reason a young airman should have access to that information. griff: need to know basis, great point and lucas tomlinson live from the front lawn. >> for more on this, let's bring in democratic congressman

from massachusetts and member of the house transportation and infrastructure committee, jake auchincloss. and congressman, when the news first broke part of your statement in reaction to this read the pentagon will need to explain how material of such sensitive nature was available to personal who did not -- personnel who did not need to know. do you believe other heads will need to roll here? >> i believe the pentagon is going to be on the hot seat in congress and they're going to have to answer to how this breakdown occurred because there's two different ways of protecting information. the first is security clearance, secret, top secret, et cetera. the second is need to know basis. even if you have the appropriate clearance level you don't necessarily have access to information if you can't prove need to know. there's no way that a junior enlisted air national guardsman had need to know about

ukrainian war plans being briefed to the joint staff. so the pentagon has some explaining to do and i hope and expect this will be a bipartisan exercise in congress where the appropriate chairs and ranking members of the relevant committees are going to get to the bottom of this in a workman-like way to prevent it from happening in the future. >> and lucas mentioned congress will have to take a look at this. what can congress do? what should congress do going forward? i know the discussions are beginning. what kind of action would look appropriate to you? >> we have to get to the bottom of the inquiry before we can start to scope the appropriate actions. you want to aim before you shoot. and so, we have to understand what happened and then we can craft the appropriate remediation and i know the pentagon is preparing for inquiries on the hill as we speak. given that you're on the house select committee on china, i want to highlight a piece out of "the washington post" because they've been breaking a lot of news on this.

the headline reads taiwan highly vulnerable to chinese air attack leaked documents show and i'll just read quickly the first line, taiwan is unlikely to thwart chinese military air superiority in a cross-strait conflict while tactics china's use of military ships for civilian purposes eroded u.s. sability to detect invasion. that's according to leaked documents here. >> this is partly why the leak of these documents is such a distraction and an impediment and why this individual who did so should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. if you have the drips and drabs of information like this, it can lead to conclusions that are not necessarily accurate. as we've seen with speaker pelosi, as we've seen with speaker mccarthy, there is strong bipartisan support in congress for the support and defense of taiwan in the face of increasing pressure by the

chinese communist party and we need to continue to make clear that we're going to stand with freedom and democracy the world over in taiwan and in ukraine. >> there are so many details that are so alarming on so many fronts and one thing that would probably catch american's attention, this is also washington post reporting on one of the additional spy balloons. so one of them had something called a synthetic ap tour radar or s-a-r, sar. unlike traditional apartment cal sensors this allows sar to return images at night and penetrate clouds, smoke, topsoil, ice and snow and sar has been show to penetrate thin materials including tarps, revealing objects beneath. if i'm watching at home, this is very wearsome considering that not only did we have these balloons go up-- or that were discovered earlier this year and now additional ones and they have so much what sounds like power. >> there's no question the

chinese communist party is investing in increased technological capabilities and increasing aggressive military power not only indo-pacific, but worldwide and that's why it's important that we have the select committee with the day-to-day politics and strategy. and why it's so important that biden administration instituted export on control to deprive the chinese communist party with any edge that we can on pieces of ip and increasingly important we're pivoting away from the failed forever wars in the middle east and indo-pacific, a on open indo-pacific despite what the chinese want to do there and elsewhere. >> and i want to get your thoughts on charges to teixeira. the maximum penalty would be 15 years, a young guy, he would be in the mid to late 30's by the

time he gets out and let's say he's convicted and the full extent of the law. do you think the charges will be coming to pile on. >> politics shouldn't weigh in on ongoing law enforcement investigations, he's going to be tried by a jury of his peers in an impartial setting and they'll decide his fate. as someone who wore the uniform and serving now as a member of congress, anybody who takes an oath to the constitution and then betrays the oath needs to be prosecuted. >> okay, well, congressman jake auchincloss, thank you for your time, we appreciate it. >> good to be with you. >> and coming up in the next hour, we will speak with republican congressman from florida, carlos jimenez. stay tuned for that. and tomorrow on fox news sunday, shanann bream will have an interview with south carolina congress woman nancy mace and she sits down with ro

khanna and four star general jack keen. on media buzz, duelling abortion pill rulings, tomorrow at 11 a.m. eastern. griff: the head of anheuser-busch is breaking silence on the uproar surrounding bud light's partnership with transgender media influencer dylan mulvaney. and the controversy only seems to be increasing, charles. >> hey, good afternoon, griff. it's not exactly an apology, but ceo whitworth saying in a statement the company never intended to be a part of a discussion that divides people and goes on to say, i care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and partner, i spend much of my time travelling america, listening to our customers,

distributors and others, moving forward i'll continuously work tirelessly to bring great beers across the nation. the statement follows the backlash for marketing campaign featuring transgender activist and influencer mulvaney, who has millions of followers. and she said that bud light sent that with her face on it to celebrate a year of girlhood for mull vany. it angered customers like musician kid rock and released video of himself shooting cases of bud light with what appears to be an assault rifle and others like country musician john rich who owns a bar in nashville saying sales have dropped dramatically. >> our number one selling beer up until a few days ago was guess what? bud light. that was the number one beer. we've got cases and cases and cases of it sitting back there, but in the past several days

you're hard pressed to find anybody ordering one. >> now, prior to bud's partnership with mulvaney the company's vice-president of marketing said she want today make the brand more inclusive and in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience. take a listen. >> bud light had been kind of a brand of kind of out of touch humor and it was really important that we had another approach. >> and a lot of people are questioning whether that was the right approach considering anheuser-busch lost billions of dollars in terms of market cap since the release of that campaign. to be clear, anheuser-busch says the special bud light cans that they sent to mulvaney with her face on it were a gift and that they are not available for the public to buy, griff. griff: all right, charles watson with the latest on the bud light controversy. thank you. alicia, as you know, i'm in new york today so i just wanted to

hold up the new york post here, put it on their cover, calling it apology light. they say that that apology charles was talking about was weak as flat beer, as they put it in a pun and really, if you think about this, as i was telling our staff before the show, for a guy that grew up in the '80s, i just don't know how this company got from spuds mckenzie, a cute you see here bull terrier dog that drinks bud light to a transgender influencer, it makes no sense. >> things have changed and the market has spoken. that's what matters when you're running a small business to a corporation and sometimes folks just want their beer to be beer, they don't want it to say anything else are you thirsty? i can help you with that and that's what folks are saying and anheuser-busch probably going to think twice about some moves going forward. griff: i've been followed this and i'm pretty fascinated by the controversy.

there's an event with the clydesdale, remember the horses. >> yes. griff: amazing and you see where they are, in super bowl ads and they're just the iconic image of this famous american beer company, a clydesdale annual event in m iz ms. -- missouri is canceled because they fear for the horses and the staff because it's causing controversy. maybe the marketing folks should get back to knowing their audience and get back to pouring beer and take politics out of it. >> exactly, seems to be a disconnect there. so we're moving on. the supreme court is temporarily restoring full access to the abortion medication mifepristone. the move allows the high court more time to review the decision made by a lower court last week that suspended the approval of the drug. justice samuel alito is now blocking restrictions 0 p the on the abortion bill used in

>> former president donald trump hauling in nearly $19 million in campaign fund raising in the first quarter, as the race to the white house heats up. g.o.p. presidential hopefuls are already hitting the campaign trail and speaking at major events like the n.r.a. convention. alexandria hoff is here with the campaign 2024. hi, alex. >> secretary of state mike pompeo is not entering the race. he made that announcement on special report. >> while we care deeply about america and the issues i've been talking about the last year and a half and decades, matter an awful lot. this isn't our moment, this isn't the time for us to seek elected office. >> he made this decision with his wife and added he may not end up endorsing his former boss and current front runner. >> earlier, asa hutchinson joined nikki haley and

>> the protesters rushing the stage there and security was fortunately able to get them before they were able to reach desantis. he's not expected to announce until later this spring. alicia: thank you. griff: did you see this. college athletes can now earn money from endorsement deals, but there are no guidelines how they get paid and what is and is not allowed. and some of demanding representation. >> the rules on field, court or track are clear, but off the field and their image, or likeness. nil's. >> and one thing we're looking for guidance on, to level the playing field across different states. the push is for congress to do what ncaa can't, establish a rule book to make money. >> the lack of uniformity

across different states and institutions has created confusion and uncertainty. >> congress recently probed the issue in a hearing. >> alabama enacted a law with guardrails and had to repeal it, more restrictive laws could put them in a competitive disadvantage. >> dozens of athletes signed nil deals during march madness, those in revenue could earn millions. arch manning, grandson of archie manning inked a deal worth $3.8 million. there is disparity for athletes in other sports, but some put the extra cash toward their future. >> one of the deals that i'm involved in is helping me actually pay for nursing schools, which is super huge when i start nursing school, i won't have the partial athletic scholarship. >> some signed predatory contracting binding them to a deal below market worth, even if they enjoy a prosperous pro career later. >> we see some deals where the student athletes give away

their name, image and likeness, or in perpetuity instead of for a certain period of time. >> lawyers say they must be savvy about contracts and taxes on top of studies and hours playing their sports. >> we have to ensure that the it's top priority. >> if the ncaa is unable to clear the issue, it's hard to think that congress can. alicia: attorney general merrick garland is speaking about america's spiraling fentanyl crisis as massive amounts of the deadly drug pour across our southern border. that's next.

accountable for their crimes in the united states. alicia: attorney general merrick garland announcing yesterday that the department of justice is pursuing charges against several members of a mexican drug cartel, cracking down on its global fentanyl operations. senior correspondent casey stegall is live on the ground in el paso, texas where drugs and migrants are streaming across our southern border at an alarming pace. hi, casey. >> hey, alicia, good to see you. law enforcement officials, in fact, here on the ground have been doing show of force exercises as they're called, along much of the southern border, as well here in el paso on one of the main international crossing bridges, the paso del norte bridge, connecting juarez, mexico to el paso. things escalated with several hundred migrants trying to rush across. so they're trying to prevent

that from happening again. now, just in the last week, more than 34,000 apprehensions reported among all of the border patrol sectors. 202 pounds of fentanyl was seized, 15 pounds of methamphetamine, 10 illegal firearms and more than $80,000 in cash, not to mention 14 sex offenders and at least nine gang members. what's more, officials say sadly, it will get worse before it gets better. >> title 42 was a finger in the dam which is going to be removed here in a matter of weeks. so what we do from that point on, i mean, is yet to be defined. >> and one last thing to show you, a wild high speed pursuit in kenny county, texas, that's a very busy corridor for smugglers. migrants bailed out of the truck before dps troopers deployed a spike strip.

you can see the truck finally stopping and coming to a rest along the side of the road. the driver, a texas resident, was arrested and charged with evading arrest and also, smuggling of persons. it's nonstop down here alicia. alicia: wow, incredible. casey stegall live in el paso, texas. good to see you, thanks. griff: alicia, casey, thank you very much let's now bring in our guest, former border patrol chief and texas foundation fellow for border security, rodney scott. chief scott, i want to talk to you about ag garland's comments and fentanyl and title 42, because casey in k kinney county, texas, many times the smugglers turn off into the ranchers. the ranchers there, i've spent a lot of time on the ranches in

kinney county, is being destroyed by the smugglers, and driving through fences, in some case killing livestock, and costs them thousands and thousands of dollars, repairing their fences 20, 30, 40 times if not more. and this week, they were debating measures, and one state democrat says, no, the ranchers should pay for their own damage, it's up to them. your reaction? >> yeah, the representative, shows his ignorance to the magnitude of this threat and actually the responsibility. it seems like he's kind of parodying secretary mayorkas's crisis there's no-- the comments that there is no comments at the border. when the fence goes down. it's not just a fence going down. that means that people's l

livestock can get out and if it damages other people's properties or hit by a car. and texas dps told me they're having 30 to 40 vehicle pursuits a day and many ending with property damage. this is a federal responsibility, i understand the hesitation for texas citizens to step up and pay, somebody needs to, but this is a federal government responsibility. the biden administration created this problem and the biden administration should be held accountable. i think he mentioned that the land owners should sue the aliens or sue the cartel. well, just think that one through and how that would work. you know who they should be suing, secretary mayorkas and president biden for failure to comply with law and secure the border. griff: let's talk about the administration's response. ag merrick garland holding that press conference yesterday announcing the arrest of the chipito's, el chapo, his son is

running the operation now and they've busted incredible amount of fentanyl, the deadly drug coming across and killing hundreds of thousands of americans, in the last few years. is it your belief that the administration has got a handle on the threat that this fentanyl crisis is posing? >> absolutely not. again, they're attacking a modern day problem with a historic model that doesn't work in this situation. they're looking at the cartels as if they were the chicago mafia and you knew where they live and could reach out and touch them all the time. i applaud arrests and never want to walk away from that. however, in this situation, that model has failed miserably for our country and look at the ag's comments, they were all reactive, he spoke about the victims and feeling sorry and never forgetting the victims. how about we prevent more victims and we save lives by simply securing the border, kind of like a broken windows theory in new york. if you secure the border and

take away their means to make a ton of money, we can make a lot bigger impact. there's a second aspect to this, too, we really-- i traditionally have not wanted to stable cartels terrorists because it's the profit versus political implications, but that's changing. the cartel owns huge sections of mexico, operate with impunity, and buy politicians and buy votes and they drive around in armored vehicles, and we need to attack these organizations like the threat they are, killed more americans than any known terrorist organization. griff: that's a very fascinating insight, chief scott, because i asked our producer, jake gibson who put the question to ag garland, would you like to see the cartels labored as foreign terrorist organizations and would it give you more tools? he deferred and punted to state departments so who knows what's to come, if anything, on that front, but as you point out, it

might give our folks a little more tools in terms of going after them. before we run out of time, we're like three weeks away from may 11th. you've got title 42 going away. what, chief, is that going to look like? >> two quick things i've got to touch on the terrorists. please look at texas policy, a friend of mine, a colleague just published an article really looking at should these organizations be labeled terrorists or not. it's available on texas poet policy.com, title 42 going away is just going to increase the flow. this administration's not really using it to the extent that they should anyway. it's going to go away at some point. the real topic should be if you really want to secure the border, why did you tear down every other immigration and border security program in place when he came into office? title 42 is a distraction. we need to get back to holding people accountable and enforcing the law on the border and making sure we control who and what comes into our homes and not the cartels. griff: former border patrol

chief rodney scott. great insight as always. thank you, sir. alicia. >> thank you, griff. alicia: griff, new details coming out about the man arrested in the stabbing death of a top tech executive in san francisco. we'll bring you those details next. i remember when i first started flying, and we would experience turbulence. i would watch the flight attendants. if they're not nervous, then i'm not going to be nervous. financially, i'm the flight attendant in that situation.

43-year-old tech mogul bob lee. tech documents that he and his accused killer were arguing about his sister before he was stabbed. >> yes, investigators are slowly starting to unravel what's turning into a very complicated murder case. not only involving the tech world, but the suspected killer's family. the new details surfaced the same day of suspect nima momeni's first appearance in court wearing an orange jump suit. momeni didn't enter a plea, but will be held without bail. the court documents allege the suspect planned the attack and that it was all over an apparent dispute involving momeni's sister. on the early morning hours of the murder, authorities say momeni and lee left the millennium tower where momeni and loved. and he drove lee to a secluded

spot, stabbed him once in the heart and left him to die. >> this is a person in a vehicle with a kitchen knife and that's not what we carry around with us, and this is something that he intended to do. >> police recovered a four-inch blade at the scene. >> he didn't say much in court, but family was there, including his sister, and his defense attorney did make a short comment. >> he had friends and family here in support. the facts as to what occurred, did not occur will come out over time. >> momeni faces a first degree murder charge with a knife enhancement. if convicted he could spend anywhere from 26 to life in prison. he will be arraigned just 10 days from now, griff. griff: and we will be watching. jeff paul with the latest for us. jeff, thank you. alicia: griff, for more on the cash app founder bob lee,

joining me is attorney and professor, thank you for being here. let's talk about the charging document here because we know investigators talked to witness is who were with bob lee during the day and in the evening prior to his death, right? and they talked to these witnesses and it all revolves around this issue with the sister. i'm going to read a quote from the document. the first one, quote, witness one said defendant was questioning victim regarding whether his sister was doing drugs or anything inappropriate. witness one said that victim had to reassure defendant nothing inappropriate had happened. what's your take away on that. >> i think there's a lot-- many more layers that we have to peel in this case. the facts are just coming out right now. look, it's a first degree murder charge with an enhancement. so, it's very serious, but i think we just have to wait because i think more details are eventually going to be released. alicia: yeah, and as jeff mentioned, you know, the sister, she was seen in that

video the woman with the blond hair and sunglasses there, standing there with her husband who is a prominent plastic surge in the area. i'm curious about motive here that the d.a. is going to be looking at motive. and another read from the charging documents, victim's telephone shows had a text message from female defendant's sister, who lives at the millennium just want today make sure you're doing okay because i know nima, the suspect, came way down hard on you and thank you for being such a classy man handling it with class. how does this go toward motive. >> yeah, i think it goes towards motive because i think the argument at least from the defendant's perspective is going to be look, if there was a crime, there was a crime of anger, right? or i have a feeling eventually something along the lines of a self-defense related charge is going to come out with respect to the defense. it's just, it's a little too early to say right now, but there certainly seemed to be

some salacious details slowly trickling out. alicia: yeah, what about any ideas about potential accomplices, other people involved here. >> so far we haven't seen much and we haven't even heard much on the scene about other accomplices, it looks to be one-on-one crime, but we'll see. alicia: and the sister is obviously going to be brought into all this and she'll be questioned about the text messages. there were face time videos between, it looks like the suspect and the victim at one point, once they unlocked the phones. just so much to this. so many people are going to be watching this play out, aren't they? >> yeah, absolutely. look, it's just san francisco at its finest, right? more crime coming from san francisco. 300 murders last year, murders are up 20% this year. to date, armed robberies up 13%. i realize this isn't an isolated crime, but from the victim's family perspective, it really doesn't make a difference. when you don't have police officers on the street, when you have defunded the police we

just see these crimes emanating more and more in the cities that made the decision to defund the police. >> let's talk about that a little bit more. the mayor of san francisco kind of pushed back on elon musk when he said this is the reason i left silicon valley and people were upset people were talking about crime in general when it comes to san francisco and the bay area. at first, everyone thought this could be a stranger thing, someone out of nowhere and random act of violence. your point is, it doesn't change the fact that this crime occurred in the city. >> absolutely, the victim doesn't care necessarily who did the crime, but when you have a city that's known for lawlessness, a city that's effectively defunded the police, a city that has 600 police openings because they can't fill them because morale is so low, these are the sorts of issues that we see. it's so bad right now on the streets of san francisco, i don't think that the zodiac killer would leave his house, it's so darned dangerous. alicia: there's definitely

going to be a bright shining light on the city of san francisco and the investigation and how everything is handled in this case. andrew, thank you so much for your time today, have a good one. >> thank you. griff: a massive cleanup is underway in fort lauderdale, florida after torrential rains flooded large portions of the city this week causing millions in damage. we're live on the ground there next. (fisher investments) it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same, but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when our clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different.

>> the house judiciary committee is expected to hold a hearing monday examining crime in new york city and assessing embattled manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. live in new york with more on what to expect. >> hi, alicia. the house judiciary committee's fields hearing on monday. we can expect to hear from witnesses who say they've suffered under the policies of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. beginning at 9 a.m. on monday we'll hear from six witnesses including a jewish man who was beaten in may, 2021 in midtown manhattan as he walked to attend a pro israel rally. bragg came under scrutiny for offering one of the defendants a six month plea deal. monday's g.o.p. led committee

is the latest against bragg since a grand jury indictment against former president donald trump just two weeks ago in a case brought by bragg. trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments. this tuesday, d.a. bragg filed a federal lawsuit against house committee chairman jim jordan alleging the residential lawmaker is trying to wage a campaign of intimidation over his prosecution of the former president. and bragg is asking to subpoena what jordan has in regards to handling of the trump case. friday on fox, jordan says he's undeterred. >> everything is on the table because we think we owe it to the american people when you have a district attorney interfering in the most important federal election we have and he used federal tax dollars as part of his indictment of the former president, then we think it's incumbent upon us to do the investigation and that's what

we're committed to doing. >> now, in response to the house judiciary committee's monday fields hearing about crime in the city, the d.a.'s office pointed to statistics showing some violent crime has dropped since bragg took office in january, 2022. alicia. alicia: live from new york city, thank you so much, good to see you. griff: fort lauderdale, florida, finally beginning a long recovery after this week's monumental flooding when record levels of rain fell in just a matter of hours. and fox weather's brandy campbell is on the ground with more. hey, brandy. >> good afternoon. so right now, we're in the neighborhood of edgewood in fort lauderdale nearby the airport with over two feet of rain was reported. you can see it's still flooded in this neighborhood. people are actually out trying to clean up, take stuff out of their homes as well. but as you can see, with water
