>> oh lord, i don't go to the move i don't have time. >> i met chris hemsworth at the airport one time. my goodness. >> is he nice? >> very nice. >> female super hero. here is "america reports." don't forget to dvr the show. >> a live look at the white house as we await jake sullivan, soon be joining karine jean-pierre at the podium. >> expecting a range of questions on the latest in ukraine and the controversial munitions aid that's approved by president biden, but a big focus is expected to be on the investigation into how cocaine made it into the west wing. >> and now we are learning it might have been in a more secure location than previously thought. welcome to "america reports" on this friday. mike emmanuel. >> i'm jacqui heinrich. sandra and john have the day off.

secret service is reviewing visitor logs and checking security footage. they say the probe will wrap up early next week. >> mike: james comer calling for more details while blasting the discovery as a "shameful moment for the white house." let's get right to mark meredith live at the white house. what do we know about the location where the cocaine was found? >> mike and jacqui, good afternoon to you. drugs were found in the lower level entrance of the west wing, an area officials have been saying is heavily traveled but also area that vip guests, as well as staffers, use to get in and out of the west wing. secret service says it is investigating who brought the drugs into the building, however they believe where he may not get a definitive answer. and they have done fingerprint testing and dna testing on the container the cocaine was found in. president biden has yet to comment publicly and no indication he plans to weigh in.

the white house has been sending most questions to the secret service, and former president trump and ron desantis has been weighing in. members of congress are speaking out, too, it appears house republicans are ready to launch into investigation into all of this. james comer sending a letter to the secret service and writing congress funds white house security procedures and the secret service has responsibility to maintain effective safety protocols. this incident and the evacuation of staff raise concerns about the level of security maintained at the white house. arkansas republican senator tom cotton has sent a letter to the secret service asking for answers to six questions, including whether they have encountered this kind of thing before. because the investigation is still ongoing, they are going to have to wait a few days to get answers. comer wants a briefing by next week, seven days from now, and the secret service hopes to be

done with the investigation by early next week. potentially even by monday. mike. >> mike: promises to be a very interesting white house briefing during the show, mark meredith, thanks very much. jacqui. >> jacqui: today marks 100 days since wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich was detained on charges that he denies. he is behind bars in moscow after he was denied appeal for release. is a prisoner swap in the works we are hearing? >> the kremlin signalled a prisoner swap is possible but any discussions would not be made public. when you talk to white house officials they say they have no breakthroughs to report, evan's family is preparing for it to be a long process but they were given some relief last month when they got to physically see and speak we have -- with evan

in russia. >> hard to leave him there. >> very hard. >> part of an interview evan's family did with the wall street journal who employs evan, he appears to be in good spirits and that's how the u.s. ambassador to russia described seeing evan last week when russia granted access the first time in nearly three months. evan's parents and sister danielle say right now the only thing they are relying on is the promise from president biden that he's going to do everything he can to bring evan home. >> i have amazing support. i have amazing parents, just knowing that our government is doing everything in their power right now and just everyone wants to help and is thinking

about him and i know we are not alone in this. >> i spoke with one of evan's colleagues this week at the wall street journal and they like the u.s. government say no possible way evan was involved in any form of spying. they say he's a journalist and good journalist and russia knows that. and my message to the captors, to free him to not only get home but back to work and get back to the newsroom. jacqui. >> jacqui: wish continued strength to evan and his family and quick resolution to this. jeff paul in london, thanks so much. >> mike: jacqui, let's bring in world coverage chief at the wall street journal. welcome to you, sir. >> thanks for having me. >> mike: i would like to start hearing more from evan's parents. >> we were in our conversation, we were smiling and laughing and the guard brought me back to reality that i'm in a courtroom,

my son was in this aquarium, in this cage. >> seeing him just brought him a little bit back to me, just physical closeness made it a little bit more bearable. >> gordon, 100 days, any moment on bringing evan home? >> it's hard to say. you know, we have had continued sort of oblique references by the russian authorities to an openness for a prisoner swap, but no specifics. with other people being held, with paul whelan, talks have been constantly ongoing, so we are confident there are talks and the u.s. government in its public statements is expressed, you know, a very vigorous commitment to getting evan home.

>> jacqui: gordon, can you describe what kind of a journalist evan is? this would be a debilitating thing to be stuck, detained for 100 days, it's hard for us to grasp what 100 days feels like. but you can speak to what kind of a resilient person he is. >> he's an incredibly strong person and i cannot imagine 100 days. 100 days separated from his family, 100 days separated from his friends, 100 days not being able to eat his favorite foods, you know, it's -- i think all of us here are both sad and angry today that we have come to this 100 day point, but evan is really an example for all of us and evan's family, they are incredibly tough and resilient, and evan, you know, in the court appearances where we have seen him appears well and certainly

in the letters that he's sending out to many of us he's retained his very sharp sense of humor, which i think is a very encouraging sign. >> what have you heard from the u.s. ambassador about her visits with evan? >> she was able to meet with him earlier this week. it's been a struggle for the u.s. to obtain consular access. a number of requests from the united states were denied before this one was finally granted. the ambassador did report back that he, you know, that he seems to be in good health and good spirits. >> jacqui: some people when evan was detained struggles to understand where he was there. i want to play some sound from the wall street journal editor in chief. >> he brought incredible depth to his reporting. he's an excellent reporter. he speaks fluent russian, he knows the country. he wrote this -- we need reporters on the ground and the moment we only have one on the

ground and he's behind bars. it's complete outrage. >> jacqui: why did he feel it was important to stay on the ground and continue reporting in russia? >> he's an incredibly passionate journalist and we, you know, fortunate for us, fluent in russian, and so he had a real advantage of being able to report there. and you know, he was very committed to making sure that what was happening inside wartime russia was reported outside in the world. it's hard to argue that there is a more important story these days and more consequential story for the united states and the rest of the west than what's going to happen in russia and how the war is affecting russian politics and russian society. and we very much hope that he'll be out and free to cover that story again. >> mike: hope and pray for great news. gordon, thank you for your time today.

>> thank you. >> jacqui: presidential hopeful ron desantis says he'll show up at primary debates even if donald trump does not. he talked to trace gallagher. >> i'll be there regardless. i hope everybody is eligible comes, introducing our candidacy and vision and leadership to a wide audience. >> jacqui: trump's deal says he's leading in the polls so why should he put himself in front when he does not need to engage in conversation with these people who are trying to catch up to him but he's not going to win over necessarily any new supporters if he sits it out. >> mike: you run the risk, why isn't he here, afraid to debate the other folks and it's an interesting time. he hates to miss the spotlight, right, and all these other candidates will be anxious to get on that stage. see if they can qualify and if he decides to show up.

>> jacqui: open runway to make their case without having to suffer any, you know, types of attacks that trump is so adept at dealing out in these kinds of things. >> mike: great opportunity to make an impression. reminder, the debate coming up august 23, 9:00 p.m., bret and martha will be there. pennsylvania democratic governor shapiro ran on school choice. why is he abandoning that case. >> jacqui: and a children's author suspected of killing her husband and why she got the fentanyl pills she used. this puts the weapon in the defendant's hands. >> this father of three thought his wife had long been trying to kill him but he would not accept that. it was more like a joke to him. and get cash? with a home loan from newday,

>> jacqui: fox news alert, baltimore police have arrested a 17-year-old male for sunday's mass shooting which left two dead and injured more than two dozen at a july 4th block party. three victims remain at local hospitals. all of them are listed in fair condition. police say their investigation is still ongoing as there were at least two people who opened fire during that shooting. >> mike: new court documents reveal a children's author bought dozens of fentanyl pills a month before her husband was poisoned. on stand-by is trial attorney heather hanson, but william, officials named the seller of the pills? >> they have, mike. 51-year-old carmen louber, prior

drug convictions and she was a housekeeper for this couple. cory and eric of park city, utah. they say cory poisoned him by lacing his drink with fentanyl twice. 30-year-old cory first bought up to 30 fentanyl pills for $900 from the housekeeper just before valentine's day and then tried to poison eric at the party. he got sick and told a friend "i think my wife is trying to kill me." a few weeks later cory again bought fentanyl from carmen saying she wanted some strong drugs like that michael jackson stuff. three days later she admitted she gave her husband a vodka cocktail and went to sleep and found him dead on the floor. eric had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. a year after his death, richens published a children's book, are you with me, about losing a loved one.

cory has yet to enter a plea but police believe motivation was money. why? several times prosecutors say she stole money from his business, and one night she broke into his computer and changed and made herself the sole beneficiary of his insurance policy. now she is suing in civil court trying to get ahold of his $4 million estate, which is managed by his sister. richens, held without bail, next appears in court september 1st. my question, who is going to play her in the movie. >> we will follow it. trial attorney heather hanson, this is just such a crazy case, heather, but you know, it looks like the prosecutors might have a pretty strong case here. do you agree, why would you -- explain that. >> jacqui, normally i can say something on behalf of a different perspective, but here it's really hard to imagine what

the defense is going to say, as william mentioned, they have motive and her need for money and her wanting to get the life insurance and part of his business. they have now this opportunity in the weapon and having bought the fentanyl from the housekeeper. they have the fact that there is a time lapse between the time they think of death and the time she called 911. there is so much here it's hard to imagine how the defense is going to approach this case. >> jacqui: with the housekeeper, you know, what incentive does she have to work with prosecutors? i know she has faced some prior drug charges, but could she be found culpable if she ends up, you know, working with them in some way, if not by the state, by potentially the feds? >> yeah, there's a lot here. because we know the feds and states have really cracked down on the provision of fentanyl because of the huge explosion being such a problem. so, in the state court, utah is likely trying to make a deal

with her to get as much information, text messages, conversations about motive to make sure they get a conviction here against the alleged killer, the wife. but, the feds could still pursue the housekeeper because there is a federal crime to provide fentanyl which results in a death. often times the fed and the state will work together to try to decide how to best approach this, but the housekeeper certainly faces some serious consequences and because of that is likely giving everyone she can anything she can to reduce the amount of trouble she gets in. >> so in your opinion, what does the judge mean when he's saying a lot in her case depends on the other case? >> so they -- this bigger case is the murder case. the smaller case is the provision of drugs. so, in that other case, the case against the housekeeper, the judge had said a lot in that case will depend on an other case, she doesn't refer to what case it is but assuming it's this deal, and perhaps she's in

plea discussions to say if we hand over everything, testify against her, willing to say everything that we have against richins, then will you give us a deal and so i think those conversations are probably still ongoing. there are two court dates this summer, one for the housekeeper and one for the wife, the alleged killer, and so we'll have to see what happens between now and then. >> one last one. is there anything in your mind that could create reasonable doubt in the mom's case? >> i mean, reasonable doubt is really a very small amount of doubt. if the defense decides to take it to trial they are going to try to argue that there's nothing to specifically show that the wife put the fentanyl in the husband's drink. there's no -- there's no fentanyl in the drink that we know of so far, there's no perhaps fingerprint on the glass. there is going to be an argument there is a lack of evidence rather than anything proactive. their job is not to put on anything, but just defend against what's already there.

but it is a very difficult case to defend, probably the worst that i've seen in doing this work for quite a while. >> jacqui: that's quite a statement. heather hanson, appreciate your time. >> thank you, jacqui. >> mike: interpreter who worked alongside u.s. forces escaped the dangers in afghanistan after the chaotic withdrawal but here in the states he was shot and killed working an extra shift for a rideshare service. details on the senseless tragedy next. >> jacqui: plus, sources tell fox the biden administration is gearing up to send controversial cluster munitions to ukraine. how will this move impact the state of war? retired lieutenant general keith kellogg will be here on that. >> ukrainian have considered that concern. this is their land, their population, they are willing to accept that risk, let's give them the weapons systems they need to help win the war.

>> mike: the man behind one of the deadliest mass shootings in texas has been sentenced. he was given 90 life sentences this morning, one for each federal charge he pled guilty to. he killed 23 people at a racially charged attack at an el paso walmart in 2019. >> jacqui: fox news can confirm the u.s. is sending cluster munitions to ukraine along with a military package to the tune of $800 million. u.s. was initially hesitant to provide the controversial bombs due to the threat to civilian, but the pentagon says it will select munitions that will pose less of a risk. retired lieutenant general keith kellogg. thank you for being with us. this is a big development and one that has been called for by many for quite a while, but i want to bring us back to february of last year because i asked the press secretary, jen psaki, at the time, about

russia's use of them. and she had an interesting answer. let's play it and touch after. >> there are reports of illegal cluster bombs and vacuum bombs used by the russians. if that's true, what is the next step of this administration and is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner that's illegal and potentially a war crime? >> it is -- it would be. i don't have any confirmation of that. we have seen the reports. if that were true, it would potentially be a war crime. >> jacqui: potentially be a war crime, has something changed. >> she's wrong. we have never signed up to the treaty for dual purpose munitions, cluster bombs or cluster munitions, we have used them ourselves, we used them in the first gulf war. should have been given to them a long time ago. i want to look at the administration and say if you wage war you wage war. if you don't, turn it to

somebody else who knows how to do it. they don't know how to do it and are not doing it very well. cluster munitions gives you, it gives you basically 5-1 ratio on unitary munitions, think of it as a football field. cover the football field with one, each round has about 80 dual purpose munitions in it, anti-personnel and anti-armor. the reason why they are concerned about the use is because the dove rate on those, the first gulf war, we had americans get killed and wounded, is 14 to 20%. so you are worried about when you use it, are the civilians going to pick them up after you use them, and then the concern you have to have is if you put them in a place you attack or assault through, you are going to have to run them yourself and better be aware of that. they will affect you as well. what you want to do, you use

them on your flanks where you are going to punch through, and then you punch through and once they get through the russian lines and the russians have two huge trench lines, then almost home free. >> considering that was the white house position, makes you wonder how jack sullivan and karine jean-pierre are going to explain it at today's briefing. >> they won't acknowledge what jacqui said earlier, they are going to ignore it and go on. this has been going on and on with the use of the munitions and the weapons system the biden administration has provided. they were late on providing the abrahams, why didn't they give the war hog, we are putting them in moth balls. could have done that 6, 7, 8, 9 months ago. all the systems like the attacking systems, i don't know why we are so late giving it to them. when you wage war, then wage it if you want to win the fight and if we want the ukrainians to

win, give them everything they can to win the fight. delay causes more casualties and a chance to lose the fight. >> jacqui: a map of what you are talking about, talking about punching through and the gains that they could make if that were to happen would be significant. we have also heard that the administration plans somehow to mitigate the dud rate as you were talking about, the unexploded bombs left over and the ambassador has said many times, and we plan to have to demine the area anyway. explain how you see us justifying that when you have 120 other countries, by the way, who have signed on to this convention, the u.s., ukraine and russia have not, but 120 other countries have. >> the trump administration did not. said we were not going to do it, primarily because of north korea in case they came south we wanted to be able to use those systems out there. but what you need to do is what the ukrainians have to do, two

huge trench areas, lines over 600 miles of trenches. if they can punch through those two trench lines, then they are into the rear of the russian areas and then maneuver warfare, wide open. i think the russians would be vulnerable. unless you punch through that, it would be hard in maneuver warfare. it's a 5-1 ratio, and i think it's important that they win this fight, and if we want to support them, then support them with the weapons they need. so we are slow giving it to them and improve the dud rate, we have 3 million rounds. we are not going to make now weapons systems. we will give old ammunition that has the higher dud rate. so we give new equipment a lower dud rate, you have to manufacture it that way. we are going to give them the old stuff. >> mike: look at the map of ukraine, not much has changed in terms of who controls what

territory. is that accurate and do the new weapons potentially help, you know, stimulate momentum? >> look, the ukrainians are having an slog, a tough fight because the russians are on the defense and you have a 3-1 advantage when you go on the defense, and the other thing they are doing, perplexing to me, they are attacking in multiple areas. to me, i would say pick the area you are going to go to, mass the force, punch through and the area i would go from is in the kherson area, and then punch through the sea of asov. if you can punch through those lines and the capability they have with the six person-trained brigades, they can outmaneuver, russians are fighting so very hard on those lines of defense. it's not easy, it's a tough fight, attrition fight, when the russians fight, it's really interesting. they are willing to lose almost one-third of their forces to create a breach.

>> jacqui: almost had a serious issue with wagner. prigozhin is spotted in st. petersburg. he is supposed continue belarus. >> i think what happened, he's a favorite of putin. and what's happening, where is another general, he has not been seen. and what prigozhin said he is concerned about the russian generals and the secretary of defense shoigu, not pushing the fight where it should be fought. i think he's pretty well protected. plus wagner is probably one of the most capable forces the russians have. they are a paramilitary force, which is an adjunct to the russian military and i think that they don't want to get prigozhin on the wrong side and he's one of putin's friends. i think this is one of those classic examples where wagner was really almost close to having a coup work, and they got so far down the road, and you know what, this might work. >> looks like it was not viable

for russia to lose him as much as putin probably wants to get rid of prigozhin. we have run out of time. general, thank you for being with us. appreciate your time. >> mike: thanks, general. major upset for school choice in the keystone state, josh shapiro breaking a campaign promise for a voucher program aimed at the worst performing schools. alexis mcadams, what is the governor saying about this? >> governor shapiro says state republicans might not like how it played out but he was not going to hold up the entire budget for the vouchers. >> senate budget included past scholarships, $100 million to help low income families in struggling school districts but house democrats made clear that it would not pass their chamber. >> so the school choice proposal would have given $100 million of state money to pay for private

and religious schools without taking away funding at public schools. to help the poorest schools in the state by giving up to $15,000 in scholarships. democrats and teachers' union were not on board, fearing the money would be taken away from public schools, but republicans were saying their matter made major provisions in the budget to make school choice a reality. they say shapiro backtracked. >> it's unfortunate, he's probably ruined a level of trust that would be very, very difficult to regain with still three and a half years left of his administration. >> there is still hope for school choice in pennsylvania. house democrats planning to hold hearings this summer about vouchers. shapiro has made clear the support of the idea of a state backed school choice program is what he wanted and pushed for for months, but that has not happened, mike. >> mike: alexis, thanks a lot.

>> mike: new bill in washington state aims to protect children's online privacy. if passed, allows kids to request content shared by their parents and others to be removed once they reach a certain age. the legislation is stalled for now. meanwhile, several other states are considering similar privacy protections. it's a whole new world, jacqui. >> jacqui: it is, and you think about parents putting their kids on social media and how they feel about it. i look back to my own social media and what was i thinking, and now that thread is a thing, we will read the first thread post in ten years and cringe a little bit. there are new rules. >> mike: that was so 2023, how could i have said that? >> jacqui: exactly. internet lives on forever, we know very well. >> we are going to be outside more, going to beaches. >> heat index gets up real, real high, yeah. gets pretty gross. >> it's hot, but bearable.

when i take the dog out, we walked tree to tree, shade to shade, and then we find the water. >> jacqui: it's not your imagination, hottest weather of the summer impacting millions of americans with dangerous heat advisories and scorching temperatures in some areas, possibly reaching as high as 115°. fox weather meteorologist kendall smith is tracking the weekend's forecast. what can people expect? >> jacqui, it is downright hot and miserable for millions of us from coast to coast. more than 16 million americans under heat alerts just today. and a lot of those heat alerts are coming out of the sunshine state. so you can see from jacksonville and gainesville, heat advisories. so the temperature are actual feels like temperatures, they are well into the triple digits. tampa, 105 is the feels like temperature this afternoon, that is just sweltering. 105 in west palm beach, and

naples, feel like 104 hot and steamy degrees. and also locations across the south. so you can see from atlanta, 95 this afternoon, the heat index and 95 in jackson. 98 new orleans. but look at dallas, 102°. so, certainly once we get further south of i-10, the heat is on and boy is it cranking. and it's not just the heat that is the concern. it's also the high surface dew points so talking dew points in the 60s, it's uncomfortable. hot, sticky, muggy, the air you can wear, it smacks you in the face. but dew points in the 70s, it gets miserable and that's what we have right now in the southeast. so, for tomorrow it's almost a carbon copy day to today so get ready for it. 102 feels like temperature in dallas. 104 in houston. 105° in new orleans and 100 for

the heat index value in tallahassee. but not just the southeast, it's also locations to the west, dangerous heat as well. the culprit right there, this big area of high pressure that is just locked in place. the strong ridge of high pressure not going anywhere any time soon. so that means it's sending the jet stream up to the north and it's not budging. and so we'll watch as the area of high pressure kind of traps the heat over places like southern california, the great basin, the desert southwest, we could be talking about extreme heat. temperatures well up into the triple digits. 110, 115, maybe 117° in phoenix by next week so get ready for it. we have excessive heat warnings that have been issued for places like phoenix and look how long they are going to last, all the way through thursday, next thursday. you also can see heat advisories
