qunol has the number one cardiologist recommended form of coq10. qunol. the brand i trust. the all-new tempur-pedic breeze makes sleep feel cool. so, no more sweating all night... ...or blasting the air conditioning. because the tempur-breeze feels up to 10° cooler, all night long. for a limited time, save up to $500 on select tempur-pedic adjustable mattress sets. >> daniel penny's lawyer is now saying his client should be celebrated by his actions, following the marine veteran's arrest on the chokehold death. i'm jacqui heinrich. mike: jacqui a pleasure working with you. i'm mike emanuel. and some say the charges are too lenient.
9:01 am
the latest developments. hello, cb. >> mike, good afternoon. the legal team is calling for upgraded charges and attorneys for penny say the mounting defense will exonerate their client. this insight shared last night by penny's attorney thomas kenneth during wabc radio show katz and cosby. and the attorneys say, quote, they were led to believe this case was head today a grand jury and caught off guard when d.a. decided to arrest him on manslaughter, a penalty up to 15 years in prison. he was released on a $100,000 bond. some legal crit exsay this process has been political. >> if they're not going to arrest him on the scene with a political complaint, and wait and there's a gap. they'll go to the grand jury and come back with indictment. they didn't here, which leads me to believe the decision to charge him on a complaint was
9:02 am
something driven by politics and not by the best interest of the criminal system. >> he's saying his firm has retired n.y.p.d. detectives investigating and there will, quote, more to come. he says the situation is a tragedy and then added his client should be, quote, celebrated for jumping into action and feels many new yorkers will relate to penny who he argues acted in after sense. neely had 42 prior arrests and his family's attorneys pointed to mental health struggles and mother's murder as factors. prosecutors say on may 1st, neely had been threatening other subway riders and the marine veteran approached neely from behind placing him in a chokehold, taking him to the ground. at some point neely stopped moving and penny continued the hold and the family's legal team says it's these circumstances that call for a murder charge. >> there was no attack.
9:03 am
mr. neely did not attack anyone, he did not touch anyone, he did not hit anyone. but he was choked to death. and that can't stand. >> penny will be back in court in july and these charges still have to be confirmed by a grand jury. mike. mike: cb cotton starting us off in new york city. many thanks. jacqui: for more on the case, attorney andrew stoltmann joins us now, and andrew, we heard from our reporter the details here leading into this. you know, second degree manslaughter charge in new york city. how likely do you think that they're going to see a conviction there? >> i don't think so. i think a second year law student could effectively defend this defendant in this case. i mean, what is supposed to happen when you have somebody who is threatening other passengers on the subway. somebody who has threatened at least three separate people, has 44 separate arrests in the last 10 years. that's a pretty bad guy. it's tragic what happened, but
9:04 am
when you act like this on the subway, you have somebody who's been arrested, who probably should be thanked not for killing, but at least standing up to him and defending other people on that subway. jacqui: what kind of pressures do you think the district attorney was under in bringing this charge and is he listening to the different pressures around this case? you've got folks on one side saying this marine veteran shouldn't be facing any charges. and then you've got folks on the other side, saying that these charges are too lenient. what options did he have? >> i think it's pretty clear that alvin bragg caved, he caved to aoc, to a handful of supporters and i think it's-- and historically he's been sof as play-doh on crime. and political points, but you have a marine arrested who could spend 15 years in prison
9:05 am
and i think that's a miscarriage of justice. jacqui: there's a lot of political fallout around this case and speaking of the legal fees, you now have florida governor ron desantis fund raising for this marine. i want to bring up the tweet here. he says, we must defeat the soros-funded d.a.'s. stop the left's pro criminal agenda and take back the streets for law abiding citizens. we stand with good samaritans like daniel penny and show him we've got his back. and aoc's tweet as well. she says jordan neely was murdered because he was houseless and crying for food at the time they're stripping service toss militarize itself and many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected with passive headlines and no charges, it's disgusting. your take on just the gulf between these two sides. >> it's comical. look, this vee clearly is now a
9:06 am
political issue. and the coverage on some other networks has been extraordinary. you have cnn all the other networks portraying him as a michael jackson impersonator and pictures when he graduated from high school. i don't know his back story, but what i know when he was on the train he had bad init he thinkses. you can't threaten people, that alone is enough with respect to self-defense defense for the defendant in this case. yeah, it's a political football now and that's kind of unfortunate, but you know, alvin bragg never should have brought these charges in the first place. jacqui: so you're an attorney. what do you think the more appropriate response should be. what do you think the conversation people should be having should be about? is it about, you know, cops keeping the streets safe? is it about the city not serving the mentally ill and the homeless? you know, where -- what should people be focusing on? >> it's a pretty simple solution, right? new york made the decision to defund the police and now you have new yorkers in a quandary.
9:07 am
what are they supposed to do when you have criminals on the subway acting like this. they basically can't carry a gun in public. there are not enough police on the streets or in the subway to protect them, and then when someone stands up and basically protects others on the train they get stuck with a manslaughter charge. i think that's ridiculous. look at alvin bragg and the policies of new york city and what caused the problem. jacqui: how do you think that new york is going to respond? alvin bragg is bringing the charges that he thinks the city wants to see, but it's going to be tough to get a conviction, the same people in the jury pool also ride the subway. how do you see this coming out? >> and good luck basically trying to get a conviction in this case. every single one of those juniors have been on the subway and had to put up with people like this and threatened and i don't think there's any realistic chance that this marine is convicted of
9:08 am
manslaughter. jacqui: okay. andrew stoltmann, appreciate your reflection and insights. hope to have you back soon. >> thank you. jacqui: mike. mike: jacqui, these are images from brownsville, texas where we're tracking the latest developments following expiration of covid era policy title 42. this as the biden administration has a federal judge flocking letting in migrants without court dates. we have lucas tomlinson on the white house. let's go to lucas on the lawn what the biden administration is doing on this issue. good afternoon. >> good afternoon, mike. the border patrol says they're forced to allow migrants into the country because they're overwhelmed and they need a court date. the white house responded to that judge yesterday. >> so, look, the way we see that, it's stab sabotage,
9:09 am
that's clear and simple. the claims that cvp is allowing mass release of migration is categorically false. that's not what's happening. >> more than 10,000 per day this week, the highest ever recorded in u.s. history by the border patrol. the white house is insisting that they'll let them into the u.s. despite the judge's ruling. >> florida uncovered a memo, a secret memo that was issued to border patrol saying when we get overrun, when title 42 expires, your direction is, open the gates, let them in. no processing, no vetting, no court date. and this was a year ago. they had a year. >> now, texas's attorney general getting into the mix and sued the biden administration as well as the centers as they struggle to handle the large influx. the white house now under more pressure after a 17-year-old
9:10 am
migrant died in u.s. custody earlier this week, it was not disclosed publicly until two days later. no comment from president biden on the death of this young man eduardo espinosa. back in 2019 biden criticized trump, it's not acceptable and silence is complicity. and marking the graduation at cap one, he repeated silence is complicity and he did not speak about the southern border. mike: law cast. thank you very much. jacqui: we're going to the ground in texas where cities like brownsville, laredo and el paso declared states of emergency in the wake of title 42 ending. matt finn is in el papaso, tracking the latest there. >> hi, jacqui. over a year now we've broadcast so much video showing large groups crossing into the united states at the border and we're often asked what happens to the
9:11 am
migrants after they cross into the united states? and behind me now is one of the path ways many migrants take in this country. a group that's been processed and released and taking shelter outside of the sacred heart church in downtown el paso. they're sleeping on the pavement. sheltering in this dirty alleyway, there are volunteer groups and charity organizations coming by to feed the migrants, but they don't want to stay here. they have another destination they want to get to, perhaps another town or another state in this country, and they're going to try to get the means to get there and cvp sources tell fox news a record 83,000 migrants crossed the southern border this week and yesterday, here in el paso, not far from this church. we stood right at the border wall and watched as hundreds of migrant arrived to the united states on the first day after title 42 ended. as we see so often, they're systematically placed in a single file and put on white buses, processed and it's not quite clear how many were released after that. also, in brownsville, texas,
9:12 am
fox news cameras capturing migrants yesterday being released, yet the white house insists there are no mass releases happening here in the country and jacqui, as you've reported, fox obtained data within the past 48 hours or so, indicating there are 8,600 unaccompanied minors in u.s. federal custody right now. one of the things our crews noticed down here at border, how many children we see crossing into the united states. and it's not clear if those children are with their parents, are with guardians because unfortunately we know that human trafficking exists. sex trafficking exists to hear that there are 8,000 unaccompanied minors into the country now is another heartbreaking layer to this humanitarian crisis, jacqui. jacqui: and all the more concerning, as you point out, matt, after the new york times reported not so long ago that the administration lost contact with 85,000 unaccompanied minors who they placed with sponsors. so, keeping that data updated and keeping track of them is going to be a massive challenge
9:13 am
on top of everything else that we're seeing play out there. all right, matt finn for us, thank you very much. mike: florida governor ron desantis making stops in iowa this weekend, you're looking at-- well, we're not looking at live images, but you know what we're talking about. he's in sioux center, iowa. and that's as donald trump is also on his way. and alexis has the latest. hello, alexis. >> mike, good morning, yeah, there are a lot of people at this event in iowa. we're told several hundred people as you check out over my shoulder, some of that is set up right now. we're expecting florida governor ron desantis to talk in the next half hour or so. i'll step out of the way so you can get a look at sioux center, iowa right now. it's a busy day for governor desantis and former president
9:14 am
donald trump as support rolls in. desantis endorsed by g.o.p. in iowa. and desantis is in town talking to supporters at the picnic hosted by local congressman randy feenstra, and others endorsed him. >> we have to take back our nation so when i look at the field of potential and declared candidates, to me, ron desantis, governor desantis comes out head and shoulders above the rest. >> it's a glimpse now what might be in store for 2024 as desantis and trump lead in early polls right now. voters watching both candidates closely or both men closely, looking at desantis will soon enter the presidential race. >> trump is a great candidate, too. i think that desantis is even better, but that's what the primary is for, you kind of duke is out and hopefully,
9:15 am
hopefully, the person who comes out on top will be not beaten up too badly. >> mike, the people that we talk to in iowa at this event say they're keeping an eye on both trump and desantis, but are looking forward to hearing governor desantis talk here today to talk about what he could do for iowans and what he might do if he enters the presidential race. >> a busy weekend in iowa. alexis, enjoy your time in the hawk eye state. thanks very much. jacqui: all right, we'll have reaction from both sides of the aisle to the surge of migrants happening at the southern border. that will be right after this break. i brought in ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uh... here i'll take that. ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar and nutrients for immune health. ♪ the subway series is getting an upgrade! the new #19 the pickleball club.

9:19 am
>> border policy title 42 expiring less than 48 hours ago and officials on the ground are bracing for big crowds this weekend. for more we're joined by north dakota senator and member of the appropriations committee, john hoeven, welcome. >> good to be with you, mike. mike: senator, you're just back from the border. what did you see? and what should the biden administration do about it? >> as you know, title 42 is expired now and they're saying under title 8 they're going to manage the border.
9:20 am
nothing could be further from the truth. we're seeing on the order, 10,000 beam c people coming here illegally. and more than two million last year and we're on a pace that's going well beyond that. they're saying they're using title 8. really they aren't. because when the-- somebody comes across illegally. they are he a saying, okay, you have to have an asylum claim and the individual says i want to appeal that and in essence they get a phone number and get wherever they're going and that's the supposed court appearance and they get an alien identification number and able to work and get benefits. and the court asylum date is five years and of course they don't show up for that. and think of the message that's going to to south america, central america, people coming here from over 100 countries
9:21 am
now. you not only can come up and stay, you're going to get benefits as well so the numbers are just increasing and all the biden administration is doing, mike, is they're just processing people faster. mike: i covered you and your colleagues on the hill for a decade or so and it seems to be that when you talk comprehensive immigration reform, that's when you get stuck. are there some smaller things that republicans and the democrats can agree to that might help this crisis at some point? >> i sure hope so, but doesn't it start with enforcing the law, mike? how many laws can we pass if the biden administration is just going to ignore the law, it doesn't do much good, does it? right now if they were to implement the remain in mexico or save country policy you'd stop the flow. customs and border patrol can do that if the biden administration would allow them to enforce the law. the problem is not that congress hasn't passed a change to immigration, we allow a million people to come every
9:22 am
year legally. the problem is that the biden administration won't enforce the law and when secretary mayorkas or anyone in the biden administration says it's some other problem, it's not and every american needs to know that. now, that being said, yes, if there's some way we can get enough of our friends across the aisle, enough democrats to join with us and pass something, maybe just the fact that some democrats have joined us will force the biden administration to enforce the law. mike: okay. to the government's ability to borrow more money, the debt ceiling. in your view, is there a sweet spot where you get some cuts, you extend the borrowing authority, where you can get enough republicans and democrats to vote yes? >> you know, mike, there really is. i mean, take a look at what the house passed and look how, we in the senate, republicans in the senate have said, look, this is what we need. it creates the kind of reforms that we need in order to go forward and raise the debt ceiling and that's a
9:23 am
combination not only findings savings now, for example, clawing back covid money and there's billions that has not been spent, or allocated. let's claw that back to reduce spending and the deficit right now. and then there's got to be some type of budget control, some kind of spending limitations going forward so that we get on top of this debt and deficit. and seven out of the last budget-- or debt ceiling deals have included reforms. so, this bit about not negotiating is ridiculous. obviously, it's a negotiation and we need those reforms to address spending and reduce the debt and deficit. mike: as we get closer to a june deadline, i'm sure some folks are wondering, are senate republicans fully on board and sticking together with their house republican colleagues to basically force a deal? >> yes, i was disappointed to see the administration call off the meeting friday. the president needs to meet with speaker mccarthy and he needs to negotiate something
9:24 am
along the lines of what i just described. and i think that's not only what republicans in congress, house and senate want to see, i can it's what the american people want to see for the good of the country and i think you'd see a positive response throughout the country, throughout our country because it shows that we're getting serious about addressing this debt and deficit. mike: okay. to hunter biden and biden family business dealings. you have a background in banking before you were in politics, you worked in the banking industry. how hard is it for congressional investigators, the doj to follow the money if there were foreign deposits going to hunter biden and other family members? >> i think they're going to be able to do that, mike, and i think that's what you see happening. and whether it's james comer, or jim jordan, you know, they're already-- they've made a lot of progress in that regard and you're seeing that on almost a weekly basis now. but also, then you've seen where senator grassley and senator johnson in the senate,
9:25 am
as well as whistle, at least one whistleblower has come forward. now, so you're going to see more on this, no question about it. mike: senator john hoeven of the great state of north dakota, enjoyed your weekend. >> thanks, mike. jacqui: from the other side of the aisle, we're joined by the democratic senator from north carolina, problem solver caucus, don davis. congressman thank you for being with us. before we get fot to the border or debt limit talks, i want to start where mike was with senator hoeven. your take on what we're seeing out of the house republican investigations. is that at all going to be damaging for democrats in elections? is this damaging for the president in your view at all? >> yeah, jacqui, thank you so much for having me on today. when i think about hunter biden, i would simply say, you
9:26 am
know, we have to allow law enforcement to do its work at the end of the day, i stand fully, you know, behind our legal process and at the end of the day, no matter if it's hunter biden or anyone else, no one should be above the law in this country. jacqui: okay. getting to the border. you know, one thing i think that stood out to me over the course of the last week was it became apparent that part of the administration's plan for handling the surge after title 42 goes away was this parole authority to be able to release migrants on a large scale without the same level of processing that you would see under title 8. you've got, you know, migrants not being given an alien registration number, not given a court date. they're told to self-report to ice within 60 days and after the judge sided with the florida attorney general saying
9:27 am
that this can't move forward now the administration is scrambling to adjust, and they're saying that ruling is harmful and you're going to have dangerous conditions for migrants and for law enforcement and border authorities. when you think about part of their plan being, allowing mass releases, is that adequate? >> yeah, i would say when we look at the situation that is taking place with the courts here, at the end of the day, to me it highlights a greater concern and that's exactly why i joined in and on a bipartisan deal working as title 42 was expiring to provide title 42 type provisions moving forward so that congress could actually come to the table in a real way. and actually you know, democrats, republicans, get in the room. let's figure this out. and come out with shared values that reflect american people.
9:28 am
this shows and highlights a broken system. jacqui: so you've got democrat-- you're a democrat and your democrat colleagues are calling for something along the lines of title 42 that would allow the country to expel people. is that what you're saying, to get that clear? >> essentially what we've seen now are these provisions that have been in effect and essentially, you know, what we would do would continue, but more importantly, jacqui, bring in democrats, republicans, and really work in a bipartisan way to come up with real comprehensive immigration reform for our country. one that's based on safety, organization, as well as that takes into account the humanitarian parts of this whole issue. jacqui: okay. and turning to the debt limit talks. the meeting on friday was
9:29 am
postponed to early in the week because we're told by both sides that there's some progress happening here. the white house wants to try to limit any cuts to spending to two years, whereas republicans are looking much further down the road at trying to limit spending over the course of 10 years. we're hearing there's some agreement on clawing back covid funds and maybe on permitting reforms, but in terms of what they will allow to be cut, we don't really have a lot of insight into that. do you, as a member of your party, see any areas where spending can be reduced? >> right now, you know, truly appreciative of efforts that would bring the president and congressional leaders together in a real way, and as they come together. i would hope that they would continue to put the american people first here. it is a reality when we're over 31 trillion dollar looking at our national debt, that's of
9:30 am
great concern. you know. at the same time we must increase our debt ceiling. the american people can't default. a default means potential recession, massive job loss and crippling benefits to the american people. we have to at the end of the day, work in a bipartisan way to put the needs and the interests of the american people first here. jacqui: all right, we'll watch it play out and hopefully there's some progress next week before the president goes away to asia. he's going to be gone for a good part of the end of this month before we get to that, you know, potentially closer to the x date. so, congressman don davis, thank you for being with us, appreciate your time. >> thanks again for having me, jacqui. mike: a utah mom who wrote a children's book over grief of suddenly losing her husband. is now accused of killing him with fentanyl. boost® high pron with 20 grams of protein for muscle health

>> following the death of her husband, a utah mom of three offered a children's book to help kids cope with the loss of a parent. but in a shocking turn of events she's now been charged with her husband's murder. fox news correspondent jeff paul has the story. >> they were married for nine years, had three kids when in march of 2022, cory made her husband a mixed drink to celebrate him selling a home. after checking on the kids she came back to kind eric unresponsive. she called 911, but eric died. investigators now say she poisoned him with fentanyl. the medical examiner found five times the amount that would kill someone in eric's system. as investigators began to build their case, she was busy writing a children's book and titled the picture book "are you with me", its aim to help grieving kids with the loss of a loved one. she even went on a local media tour to promote the book, calling her husband's death
9:36 am
unexpected. however, court documents reveal a much different story. detectives say she reached out to an acquaintance for pain meds multiple times and at one point wanted something stronger and asked for some of the michael jackson stuff. after she received 15 to 30 fentanyl pills the criminal complaint shows during a valentine's day dinner eric became they ill and he believed he had been poisoned and told a friend he thought his wife was trying to poison him. after getting another batch of pills, investigators say six days later on march 4th, 2022, eric was found dead of a fentanyl overdose. and the attorneys have yet to make a statement regarding the murder charge, however working on a second book set to be published this month titled "mom, how far away is heaven", jeff paul, fox news. mike: we will have legal analysis of this shocking case right after this short break. stay with us.

>> for legal analysis of the shocking story of the utah wife and mother now been charged with her husband's murder after writing a children's book on grief. joining us now is attorney brian claypool. brian, welcome. >> hi, mike. mike: let's start with the charges in the case against kouri richins, one first degree felony aggregated murder and
9:42 am
three possession and attempts to a substance. and against the defendant. >> mike, great to be back with you. remember the alvin bragg indictment of president biden that had zero facts in the indictment? this arrest warrant had a mountain of evidence, of devastating evidence against kouri-- >> we need to break in, the president of the united states is speaking, we'll go to a live, back to you. >> there's real discussion about the changes -- we're not there yet. >> any idea. >> sir. >> pardon me? >> how confident that it will be made before it has to be? >> sir, when is the meeting, is it tuesday? when is the meeting, mr. president? >> that's president biden at joint base andrews headed to delaware for the weekend. it was tough to pick up exactly what he was saying. we will get a read out, but we
9:43 am
understand he's talking about the debt talks that were delayed after there were signs of some progress late in the week, and of course, it's a huge issue going into a new week. so we got a bit from president biden and see if we can queue that up, hear the latest from the president as he heads off for his weekend. let's go back to brian claypool for this analysis of the shocking case. brian, please pick up where you left off in terms of the evidence against this woman. >> yeah, mike, so, there was a lot of devastating evidence. you had a text message exchange between kouri and an alleged drug addict where she's actually asking for drugs on a couple of occasions on the second occasion asking for, as jeff said, the michael jackson stuff. those propafyl and here she ends up getting fentanyl. answer then you have the
9:44 am
toxicology report that has eric dying of, you know, fentanyl, what, 50 times what the regular amount is. so, normally in a criminal case, mike, you don't have this much evidence to start off a case. and let's be real. she had means, opportunity, motive. means, she's arguably got the drugs because she's ordered it, opportunity. she's giving him a drink, and then the motive is the life insurance money. mike: what should her defense team do? >> yeah, this is a tough one, mike. but i think her only two angles are to hire a forensic toxicologist to analyze the blood of eric. so, anytime there's a murder, the coroner keeps a sample, mike, of the blood so that both sides can do their own independent testing. she's got to get a toxicologist, analyze his blood. try to attack how the analysis was done by prosecution, and try to find some flaws in it and maybe she finds there's a different drug there, maybe she
9:45 am
finds there's a lower level of fentanyl in there to somehow argue, hey, i didn't put that in there and that gets to my next point, eric did, because eric might have arguably had some kind of issue with depression or maybe he had an issue with drugs. that's going to be hard to prove unless she's got something on his cell phone. he's got text messages where he's doing something with drugs or something on his computer, where there's some kind of trail or possibly, venmo, zelle, transfers from eric that suggest that he did have some type of drug problem. mike: i read some suggestion that kouri was having an affair, but eric stayed with her because of the three young children. how could that potentially factor into this case? >> yeah, that's another devastating fact for kouri, if she's having an affair, that gives a second motive for her to kill her husband. first you've got the financial and then now if she's with somebody else, she wants to get
