7:00 am
golfer? >> bill: i wouldn't but maybe they -- >> dana: you can't argue with it. don't throw beer on bill when he gets a hole in one. >> dana: rescuing american personnel. they swept into sudan to evacuate diplomats and some people from canaled. >> bill: a new week starts now i'm bill hemmer. fighting intensifying in a battle for power between sudan's top two generals. the international world caught by surprise, expecting a peaceful resolution handing control to civilians despite signs both generals were getting ready for an all-out war.
7:01 am
>> dana: thousands of americans remain trapped in sudan. many of them hold dual citizenship of america and sudan. they have no safe way to get out. as of now, there are no u.s. plans for additional evacuations. the pentagon describing the rescue mission at the embassy as fast and clean. >> reminded me how proud i am to be a member of the military but how grateful i am to be an american. the only country that can do what occurred tonight. >> bill: general jack keane has analysis. jennifer griffin, national security correspondent has the word from the pentagon. what are you hearing? >> right now the u.s. military is flying unmanned surveillance drones over the dangerous overland route from khartoum to port sudan to protect a u.n. convoy exiting the capital. dozens of citizens have joined the convoy and they're setting
7:02 am
up an international naval task force to help assist foreigners and americans trying to lead. congressional leaders were briefed on friday about the high risk evacuation of the u.s. ambassador and nearly 90 u.s. embassy personnel pinned down for a week in khartoum. the planning for saturday's rescue took place here at the pentagon in the chairman of the joint chief's office in conjunction with joint special operations command at fort bragg. seal team six was asked to take the lead. >> this morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern contingent of u.s. forces landed in ethiopia. three chinooks refueled and then flew to khartoum. evacuation was conducted in one movement. it was fast and clean with service members spending less than an hour on the ground in khartoum. >> the three helicopters flew in low over 800 miles in and 800
7:03 am
miles out. reporters were briefed just before midnight on saturday night that the mission was complete. about 100 u.s. special operations forces were involved in the dangerous extraction. hundreds of u.s. citizens, aide workers and teachers are still stuck if khartoum. the at the same timeed 16,000 still there have never lived in the u.s. when reached by the state department leaving u.s. officials were told they wanted to stay. >> we commend the military and intelligence community for getting diplomatic personnel out. a dangerous mission to take them out by helicopter. >> as the u.s. flag lowered over the u.s. embassy foreign governments are seeking to move into sudan. russia's group has a history of smuggling gold out of the country and russia wants to build a base on the red sea
7:04 am
coastline. >> bill: jennifer griffin. back to you at the pentagon with more information soon. >> dana: let's bring in general jack keane. great to have you here. the situation in sudan unraveled quickly. it's a country that seems to be coming apart at the seams. you didn't have a lot of time for people to evacuate. your thoughts how the pentagon handled it this weekend but all the other people there are having to make a choice. if they stay inside they'll die of hunger. go outside they could be caught up in the fighting. >> yeah, certainly. first of all starting with the operation itself, this whole country started to unravel with the two warring factions just over a week ago. the situation has deteriorated rapidly. despite the fact that i think secretary blinken and the chairman of the joint chiefs had spoken to both generals in charge of their respective forces to stay away from this
7:05 am
operation and don't fire on it certainly, it still was a precarious, dangerous operation. and a tough one given the distances almost 1,000 miles. 17 hours. that's a very long operation to take part in going in and coming back. and they had a c-130 gun ship overhead to help protect them while they were doing the evacuation. they came out with no one fired on them and no accidents and a clean operation as stated. this is exactly why our special operations tier one forces ground and aviation were put together back in the late 70s and early 80s to do operations like this. nobody in the world is as good at it as they are. but you are absolutely right. this is a dear -- sitting here in washington, d.c. we don't
7:06 am
know what the ground situation is like and how dangerous it is. certainly the estimates on american citizens there, dana, somewhere between 14,020,000. i don't think anybody has a handle what the number is. most of them live there and where they work and their children go to school and they are really permanent residents but there are a number -- i think we had an early report of 55, that number grew somewhat, that wanted to get out and likely workers, american citizens who are workers. whether we could have got them out before we evacuated the embassy completely is another matter. i leave that to people who know more about the situation than we do. you are right. this situation will get worse if the warring factions continues to fire on each other. electricity is already shortage. food and water will be a shortage. humanitarian crisis is coming. hopefully the u.n. can get involved. they've conducted one convoy and get involved in conducting
7:07 am
others and we can assist them with them in doing needed evacuation. many of the permanent residents will get in their car and go to a nearby country and seek refuge on a temporary basis. >> bill: general, on to another topic here. we'll see whether or not we go back to sudan. in afghanistan there is a report that isis is plotting and planning attacks. one quote saying isis has been developing a cost effective model for external operations that relies on resources from outside afghanistan, operatives in target countries and extensive facilitation networks. the model will enable isis to overcome obstacles such as security services plot timelines minimizing opportunities. what are the eyes on the ground is anyone's guess. your level of concern today is
7:08 am
what? >> there are five places in the world, bill, where radical islamist groups threaten the united states and have aspirations to do that. four of those places we're absolutely preventing safe havens from taking place from where to conduct operations like that, syria, iraq, yemen, and eastern africa. in yemen, our forces are close by. all the other three we're on the ground. the fifth place is afghanistan and we have no one on the ground. and isis is growing. the good news is al qaeda is not growing based on intelligence reports that have been revealed. but isis is. and they have aspirational threats to attack europe, asia, and the united states and as you indicated rely on local networks to assist them in doing that. the fact is we haven't attacked the leadership of isis or their
7:09 am
network or infrastructure since we left in august of 2021. the reason is, we don't have eyes on the ground. that is going to continue to be a problem for us as we are going forward in this organization is able to establish its infrastructure and network and safe haven and do the kind of planning and preparation that al qaeda did prior to 9/11. major lesson learned from 9/11 commission is do not let radical islamist groups form safe havens. yet we are permitting it to happen in afghanistan. >> bill: thank you for looking at that today. thank you, sir. >> great talking to you. >> bill: in this "washington post" reporting they say in december there were aware of nine plots. by february they were aware of 15. republicans will use this against democrats and use it against joe biden in a re-election campaign. watch this story as it develops. >> dana: we will. >> bill: the biden team set to unveil new border security plans
7:10 am
this week before title 42 expires in a few weeks in early may. many fear the end of that public health order will make the migrant surge even worse. more than 1,000 a day are crossing the border in the brownsville, texas area alone where nate foye is reporting today. nate, hello. >> we're already seeing signs of a post title 42 surge. you mentioned 1,000 migrants crossing the border in brownsville illegally every day. a live look at the fox news drone right now. we have 200 illegal migrants being processed by border patrol and loaded onto the big bus and brought to a processing facility. this is happening every single day here in brownsville. look at this drone video we shot yesterday. migrant after migrant showing up. this has been going on for two weeks now. we spoke with a group of migrants who arrived illegally from venezuela this weekend. we asked them why they didn't
7:11 am
wait for the end of title 42. they say that it's too dangerous now. there is no work there and they are experiencing constant frustration with the biden administration's cbp1 app. look at the next video. to give you some perspective. border officials expect about 10,000 migrants to cross our southern border illegally when title 42 ends. right now we're seeing 1,000 every single day in brownsville. 10% of that expected number in just a 25-mile stretch of the rio grande valley sector. look at this next video. we see this in brownsville, migrant after migrant being released to a local ngo. local shelters are expected to be overrun when title 42 ends. >> basically expecting sort of unprecedented numbers. really there is no plan. everybody is bracing for it because we know it will get worse than it has been yet so far. every year during the biden presidency it has gotten worse.
7:12 am
>> bill, all this comes after a deadly human smuggling chase in kinney county this weekend that involved two vehicles, three illegal migrants were killed. seven people were hurt. both drivers were apprehended. the driver of that pickup truck had to go to the hospital. back out here live illegal crossings are already at a record pace, bill, through the first six months of this fiscal year. 2 1/2 weeks when title 42 ends it is expected to put gasoline on that fire. we'll send it back to you. >> bill: nate foye, brownsville, texas. thank you. >> they are in a pickle here with the i.r.s. whistleblower. there is no rhyme or reason why hunter biden shouldn't have been indicted years ago even before the last presidential election. >> dana: a new twist in the hunter biden scandal as his lawyers get ready to meet with the justice department to get an update on possible charges stemming from their criminal investigation. plus this.
7:13 am
>> oh, my. wow. >> bill: they warned us about this. so much snow in the western part of the country now. that's melting snow triggering a landslide. two homes slipping away and down a cliff and it is only april, too. stand by for more. >> dana: my sister -- hey, man. nice pace! clearly, you're a safe driver. you could save hundreds for safe driving with liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need!

7:18 am
>> bill: dramatic video capturing the moment several utah homes slide off a cliff over the weekend. whoa. they had been vacant since november. that's good news. engineers found out the hill they sat on was slowly collapsing after other nearby residents who have been evacuated also say they only lived in their homes for less than a year. that has nothing to do with the
7:19 am
snow pack. that is going to cause some issues for people in utah and california once it starts to melt this spring. dana. >> dana: sources tell fox news lawyers for hunter biden are scheduled to meet this week with u.s. attorney and justice department officials to discuss the ongoing investigation into the president's son. the meeting was requested before an i.r.s. whistleblower said the biden administration mishandled. >> the saga has been going on for half a decade. think about that. we know the f.b.i. began investigating hunter biden in at least 2018. could possibly be even earlier. so his attorneys want this update from d.o.j. officials including the trump-appointed u.s. attorney david weiss. "politico" has new reporting that hunter biden's attorney,
7:20 am
abby lowell, sent letters requesting the treasury department -- request the inspector general there to probe why a former trump official had access to what are called suspicious activity reports. lowell is also requesting an ethics investigation into congresswoman marjorie tailor greene's verbal attacks. a whistleblower that argued the probe into hunter biden not being handled property. they've probed hunter's overseas business dealings, tax dealings and democrat senator chris coons says detail about the whistleblower are sketchy at best. >> nothing has been presented yet. this person hasn't come forward in any detail. >> the whistleblower's attorney told fox news last week the mystery is somewhat by design and why there are protections in place. when the time is right this
7:21 am
i.r.s. agent will come forward. >> he knows that he will be attacked and really attacks like this are what he was worried about. but he wants to come forward, tell the truth. >> u.s. attorney david weiss, will he make a decision soon and charge the younger biden or let them walk? as i said this investigation has been going on almost five years now. the meeting expected to happen sometime this week. trying to nail down more of the specific timing. >> dana: keep us posted. >> bill: one reporter who has been on this from the very beginning miranda devine for the "new york post." thank you for coming to our program. why now do his attorneys meet with d.o.j. officials? what do they get done? how do we look behind that door and figure that out? >> good morning, bill. i find it hard to believe that after five years of what looks to the public to be inactivity suddenly there is this leak to
7:22 am
cnn presumably from hunter biden's camp saying that they are having this meeting finally with david weiss and the department of justice official. and that's come just a few days after this i.r.s. whistleblower has come forward. no doubt as they say they reached out to have this meeting weeks ago but the whistleblower came forward behind the scenes to the inspector general of the d.o.j. back in after march 1st when he saw attorney general merrick garland to see what he believed was -- within the d.o.j. it has been known that there is some movement here and that whistleblowers have come forward. no doubt hunter biden's lawyers are on guard for that. that's their greatest fear, i guess, is that a whistleblower will come forward and start pressing the issue on this case
7:23 am
that has hit a brick wall. >> bill: the for that whistleblower we just listened to said his client has been with the i.r.s. for more than ten years and is alleging through his attorney that there is preferential treatment for hunter biden. over the weekend james comer said the number of biden family members continues to go higher. we thought it was nine last week. it is at least 12 now. who knows where it goes? you have these 51 intel agents who signed that letter just three weeks before the presidential election of 2020. the "wall street journal" characterizes it this way. why is public trust in american station, including the press, in free fall? one reason is the revelation last week that the biden for president campaign organized the open letter that spread disinformation about hunter biden's laptop computer on october 19, 2020. you tie all this stuff together, right and you reflect how america is taking this
7:24 am
information and how they understand it in their own way. how do they come to understand this now? >> well, it is bombshell on top of bombshell. you are right. the revelation that the biden campaign specifically, now secretary of state antony blinken reached out to the cia and organize the letter claiming falsely the stories we published from the laptop was russian disinformation. and that is -- those 51 former intelligence officials are really at fault. there is a complaint in the fec right now asking that they find that they made an in-kind donation to the biden campaign. that's what it was. they should have their security
7:25 am
clearances stripped. they abused their former high authority. they have did not do any due diligence. they peppered the end of the letter with weasel words so they could have deniability now. they saw how the letter was handled by the media, as they intended by calling it russian disinformation deduceing our reporting. they never spoke up. they just -- john brennan and the rest of them fanned out across the left wing media and kept on saying drumbeat after drumbeat this is a straight from the kremlin and, of course, a couple days later joe biden used that letter to get out of jail free effectively at the last debate against donald trump. very effectively it worked. >> bill: miranda, thank you. we'll see how the meeting goes this week and whether or not we learn anything new. thanks for coming on today. appreciate that.
7:26 am
we don't have a date for that meeting but we'll watch it and see what it happens. >> dana: it is interesting to think back to the 51 spys that when they realized they were wrong they held back. nobody said it was rash and the wrong thing to do. i was trying to stay relevant if my retirement and i messed up. nobody did it out of 51. incredible. they will be in front of congress for a rile to come and keep you updated on the meeting. fighting the woke agenda for republican voters. higher than other major issues. could this change the 2024 landscape? experts say the a.i. revolution is already at a pivotal point. what's to come as the tech takes off and do we need to regulate it more? that's next. ♪

hi, i'm sharon, and i lost 52 pounds on golo. i realized i needed to make a change when i looked in the mirror and did not recognize myself. i felt sick, i felt sluggish. i was diabetic and my cholesterol was high. after about a week or two of being on golo, i felt my energy increasing and my weight shedding. i was going to a christmas party with my husband, so i decided to try on the dress that my daughter wore to her prom when she was 18.

>> bill: so anti wokeness seems to be emerging as a key issue for republicans. more than half of republican primary voters see fighting woke as a top priority. even bigger than protecting against cuts to social security, wow. mark meredith has the fallout on this and what it might tell us. >> good morning. voters get to pick the issues that matter most. as we inch closer to 2024 a grow number of republican primary voters say they want to hear candidates plans to fight against wokeness. the journal poll asked 1700 likely primary voters what is more important, protecting medicare and social security or fighting woke ideology in schools and businesses. more voters wanted to hear about wokeness and how it can be stopped. this issue has come up in past elections including in last year's mid-terms.
7:33 am
it appears this is something we'll only hear a lot more about going forward. listen to how much wokeness came up within the last three days. >> the woke represents a war on truth and because it is a war an truth, we must engage in a war on woke. >> make no mistake about it the battle against radical gender ideology is a battle for religious freedom and one we might night. >> we think being woke is when you can't sleep at night. in a serious vein, it is a challenge. >> republicans are ready to embrace the issue, democrats are also preparing counter attacks. >> when trump was president, all their talking about red ink and wokeness is a smoke screen for an extreme maga agenda that
7:34 am
serves their creepy billionaire elite not american families. >> it transcends politics. businesses and colleges meaning it is an issue that both parties will have to address going forward. >> bill: thanks, mark meredith very interesting numbers. we'll watch it. thank you. >> dana: artificial intelligence under the micro scope. experts say the renault headlines are late to the game. "wall street journal" reports a.i. is already a bigger part of our daily lives than most of us realize. society is now at an inflection point. joining me now the director of tech policy at the heritage foundation. kara, what would be an example of where you might not even realize a.i. is part of something you do day-to-day? >> i would say facial recognition is a good example of this. you look at your phone. if you use your face to unlock your phone, there are chips within the phone that run these machine learning algorithms that help unlock it and use the
7:35 am
bio metric analysis. it is everywhere. we haven't necessarily perceived it until that public came to the fore with chatgpt. they've already had models of. there is a gpt4 that chatgpt was based off of. they've been percolating for a long time. now people are starting to become aware of it. >> dana: for example we're at an inflection point. as a.i. gone past that? are we late to talk about an inflection point? >> yeah, i definitely think that's the case. you notice inflection point was talked about when it comes to public knowledge of what is going on. this has been happening for a very long time. if you watch tucker, musk said pre-2018 i wanted to create something to compete with google which had a deep mind dominating
7:36 am
the artificial intelligence scene. he helped co-found open a.i. the providence of that chatgpt. now you have previously i would call them very brittle systems. systems that did what they were designed to do. now you start to get more agility in these systems when it comes to applications of machine learning. this is where the machine tends to learn and train in a more independent fashion. i think we've past this point. i only think it is going to a.i. advancements will increase exponentially. >> dana: i want to get to this other topic. younger people might be more willing to just accept that a.i. is there including possibly on dating apps. this is happening apparently. miranda green, a 33-year-old climate reporter in los angeles, says this app called your move has made dating apps more enjoyable for her because of a.i. it kept me from having -- it
7:37 am
made me feel like an imposter but not saying the same thing over and over again. i find it mind blowing. if you are on a dating app you don't know if you are talking to an ought then particular person or a robot? >> it's the problem with synthetic media in general. how do you get good at something? you have to do it. you don't have a machine or something else do it for you. i think this is like -- putting words in mouths to court people. it won't end well. it never really does. >> dana: do you think that we'll continue to see a lot more of this? a piece this weekend in the "wall street journal" we need a kill switch for a.i. is that even possible now? >> i think it will be difficult. i do think and i appreciate what andy came out with but i think there is a case for guardrails like with autonomous systems
7:38 am
rules say you have to keep a human in the loop. a kill switch bare minimum. if you have some sort of norms when it comes to governing these technologies i think the u.s. can design a lot of our values into these systems and lead the way for other countries. i am not opposed to guardrails. i think they are a good thing and the bare minimum is the kill switch. >> dana: your 7-month-old stayed quiet. we appreciate and tell her thank you. great to have you, kara. >> thanks. >> bill: thanks. matt damon and ben affleck burned through a small fortune. they shared a bank account in their 20s and the script for goodwill hunting was a good one. according to affleck the pay didn't last long and here is why. >> $110,000, we each bought

tomorrow despite dismal poll numbers. one survey shows 70% of americans, that includes 51% of democrats, do not want him to do this. marc thiessen is here. good morning to you. here is what the nbc poll found. nearly half of thieves that say biden shouldn't run cite age as a major reason why. 48% is a major reason. more fuel on the fire.
