>> have a great weekend. >> bill: regular party on a friday. good morning, everybody. have republicans found the smoking gun? f.b.i. file alleging millions in bribes paid to the bidens. republicans are making it public. we've been waiting on this. didn't know if it would happen. it's out there now. we turn to camera three, it's friday. i was waiting. how are you doing? >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." great to be here with you on friday. news you need to know. the files contained unverified claims by an f.b.i. informant

said the head of burisma told him he paid the bidens millions of dollars to -- >> that ceo explained it like this. it cost $5 million to pay one and another $5 million. the burisma chief was confident the bidens would protect him saying don't worry, hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad. >> dana: the white house calls the allegations di bunked and dishonest. republicans aren't buying that. >> remember in 2019 this is what they went after president trump on. all about burisma and the phone call in ukraine. they attacked president trump on the very thing they were involved in. so typical of the democrats it seems to me. >> dana: congressman byron donalds is here with reaction but let's begin with rich edson at the white house this morning. >> good morning. the white house is now confronting republicans releasing this full f.b.i. document. officials here say that

republicans are levels claims that have no credibility. remarkable congressional republicans regardless of the truth continue to push claims that have been debunked for years. congressional republicans are dead set playing shameless, dishonest politics and refuse to let the truth get in the way. biden white house official eaves say the trump appointed u.s. attorney and trump impeachment trial covered these issues and found them to lack credibility. f.b.i. says it had an agreement with congressional republicans to review this form to proper tekt the safety of confidential sources and integrity of investigation and releasing this document is unverified jeopardizes that. republicans intensify their look into the biden family. despite hunter biden's plea agreement, he has so far skirted legal responsibility. >> the democrats want to talk

about oh, the two tier system of justice is racist in america. hunter biden is a white privilege guy. >> bill: yesterday a hearing was held with two i.r.s. whistleblowers who claim the justice department slow walked that tax investigation into hunter biden. democrats say there were just normal disagreements between prosecutors on how to charge a defendant. republicans are requesting interviews with official eaves from the i.r.s., the department of justice, and the f.b.i. dana and bill, back to you. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: byron donalds, republican out of florida with us now. good morning. waiting for some time on this. we mentioned a also bit of the quote. i'll read it again through our -- for the audience here. cost 5 million to pay 1, 5 million to pay another. they hired hunter biden to protect us through his dad from all kinds or problems. i think that should read of problems. they replied something to the effect of don't worry, hunter

will take care of all those issues through his dad. the f.b.i. has a problem with this going public. do you? >> no, i don't. because the f.b.i. should have been looking into this long ago. what we have now seen, if you go through the durham report, what mr. zeeger and mr. shapley testified to yesterday in front of ways and means a few weeks ago, the fact the oversight committee investigation into the money flow from china, from ukraine, from romania, and there are other countries coming forward, our house investigation matches what the i.r.s. international tax fraud department was investigating. and all of this is matching up. the last thing that is also matching up is that you have political holdovers of political appointees at the department of justice who were obstructing justice so that this matter was never brought to the light of day. last thing, you also have our current secretary of state who led this letter of 51 people in

our intelligence community who said that the hunter biden laptop story was russian disinformation and we now know that's a lie. so i think the f.b.i. has nothing to stand on as far as i'm concerned. this form should have been released to the public long ago. >> dana: the f.b.i. statement so we have it on record here saying we have repeatedly explained to congress in correspondence and briefings how critical it is to keep this source information confidential. today's release of the 1023 at a minimum unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source. i wonder if you have any indication how long did they think this could go on? because the investigation has been goinging on for so many years at what point does that confidential source still risk safety? >> we believe the confidential human source who the f.b.i. themselves has said is highly credible, who they themselves have said they've been using for

multiple years, that source might be doing other things, not just with the bidens. so i'll leave it at that. i think that's why f.b.i. has that view. >> bill: just back in june about a month and a half go, roll this. the president was asked about it. >> allegation congresswoman says there is -- >> president biden: where is the money? i'm joking. it's just a bunch of malarkey. >> bill: you are pushing for an impeachment. would that be a formality knowing it wouldn't move anywhere in the senate? >> it opens up the actual truth of what has happened in this situation. we know -- i will go back to the durham report and why it was so important from john durham and his team. we know there are elements of d.o.j. that have proper tekted hunter biden, jim biden and the president of the united states joe biden.

they were protecting him when he left the vice presidency and protecting hillary clinton, by the way, when she was in the middle of her shenanigans and the essence of a two-tier justice system in america right now. i will tell you that if house republicans, with all the evidence and all the facts don't move on this, what you are saying to these bad actors in our government and to the american people that if you are in the right political party and the right last name you can do whatever you want and no one will hold you accountable. >> dana: people can remember the impeachment of president trump that they did in his presidency. for an impeachment of d.o.j. officials, what does that look like? >> well, the actual practical pathway for d.o.j., i will leave that to chairman jordan and the judiciary committee. it would move through there. what i am looking for and we'll

go to get is the deputy attorney general lisa monaco, what and when did she know. was she signaling people not to move forward with investigations? who tipped off the secret service detail around hunter biden when the i.r.s. wanted to question him. did merrick garland stop weiss from bringing charges in the d.c. and california circuit? it looks clear to be what's going on. if they obstructed justice, if they stopped the investigation or stopped charges coming forward that's high crimes and miss demeanors. joe biden, that's the one a lot of people are talking about. what did the white house counsel's office know about the treatment of hunter biden? when did they know it? at that point if the white house counsel knows, you know the president of the united states knows. >> bill: all good questions. might be very difficult to get the answers but we'll see whether or not in time that happens. thank you for your time. byron donalds, the republican from florida.

thank you. make sure to check out special report later today. joseph ziegler was whistleblower x as of two days ago. he will talk on special report. check it out at 6:00 here on the fox news channel tonight. dana. >> he has a time share in a place in vegas where he would visit without his wife and children. when asked in a 2017 deposition you go there for business or pleasure, sir? he says i guess you could call it pleasure. man, i would be all over that like a cheap suit. >> dana: the prob into the suspected gilgo serial killer is going beyond new york. is he tied to murders in other states? one person may have been killed inside his family home. nate foye is inmassapequa park new york with the latest. >> good morning. a source familiar with the

investigation tells fox news investigators believe at least one of the three murders that wrecks heuermann is charged with happened inside the family's home behind me. police have the street blocked off today. look live at the fox news drone. prosecutors believe that multiple victims disappeared from massapequa park where we are. for an eighth day investigators with going through the family's home inch by inch collecting evidence. the d.a. is pushing back on the conclusion that heuermann murdered women inside the home. he tells fox news, quote, the locations of the murders were never specified. at this juncture, if any law enforcement officials are saying anything con contrary to that they don't know what they're talking about. as for heuermann himself. he is being held without bail in the correctional facility. suffolk county deputies say he

is on suicide watch. no interaction with other inmates. so far he hasn't had any visitors. it comes as his wife of 27 years filed for divorce this week. investigations continue expanding outside new york as well. suffolk county police are working with authorities in atlantic city, new jersey to see if he connected to the deaths of four female sex workers in 2006. the unidentified serial killer is known as the eastbound the strangler. investigators are working to learn if it's the same person as the serial killer on long island. send it back to you. >> dana: lots of threads to pull there, thank you, nate. >> it's the witnesses time. do not censor the witness. >> he is still talking. >> it is my time and i've given it to the witness. do not censor him. >> this is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing.

you asked me a question. i will answer my question. you are slandering me incorrectly. you are saying i'm dishonest. i feel my party has departed from some of those core values. the first amendment just seems crazy to me that anybody thinks that it is okay to censor. >> bill: about 24 hours ago you were watching that with dana and me here. about the only place you could see it, in fact. yesterday's combative hearing on the hill over the government's role in suppression of information. censorship was on full display. rfk junior begging his fellow democrats to allow him to speak. democrats relentless in their hits back against him, against biden's potential top challenger for the democratic nomination for president. at one point they were asked to go into special session behind closed doors. >> dana: that was the first thing they asked before they asked rfk junior a single question they wanted to take it behind closed doors. they are afraid of what they

will say. hillary vaughn caught up with some of the democratic lawmakers. >> what is the fear of having rfk junior to testify? what are you afraid he would say? >> i'm not afraid of anything he would say. i don't want to hear him. >> censored by democrats? >> i don't think you want to bring that before the congress. >> it proved his point. >> we were trying to make sure he didn't cause more harm with his outrageous testimony. >> that's not censorship. that would not be allowing someone to speak. he can speak. >> they didn't let him get his words out. >> bill: you be the judge. >> dana: watch it and see for yourself. the democrats' strategy was over the top and looked so panicked about somebody they say who has no chance of going anywhere in the election. >> bill: watch. you could only see it here. >> dana: you are fortunate. you watch here. we wanted to bring you sad news this morning in the world of entertainment. music icon tony bennett has

passed away. he had a timeless style that spanned decades. lots of collaborations that young people might be familiar with, work with the likes of frank sinatra and lady gaga. he said his life long ambition was to create a hit catalog rather than hit records. he released more than 70 albums bringing him 19 competitive grammys. no word on the cause of bennett's death. his career slowed down once diagnosed with alzheimer's in 2016. he passed away here in new york city. he was 96 years old just two weeks shy of that 97th birthday. >> bill: that relationship he had with lady gaga at the end of his life, a friendship and introduced him to a second or third generation of americans. new york city was his home although he sang about san francisco. new york city was his home and

you could see him around time quite often. less over the past several years. i saw him at the paily center a couple years back. tony bennett was a big artist. he loved to paint. there was an exhibit for his paintings that day. i said which one is your favorite? he pointed to one behind him on the right and i said that's going to be our background and that was the shot. >> dana: i never heard a negative word about him. even a few years ago peter worked out at the gym where he was and i think he was 90 years old and hitting the gym all the time. >> bill: tony bennett, an american legend. rest forever in gentle peace. great life. thanks, tony. >> dana: now we'll have a major update on the search for a 12-year-old girl who went missing last november. what new photos reveal about her possible whereabouts. >> bill: president biden tackling a.i. that will be something to watch today. meeting with a group of industry

critics continue to bash the song saying it incites racism and violence. call for number two here. the specific part of the sopping where critics say it ignites violence. >> cussed out a cop, stomp on the flag and light it up, you think it's up, try that in a small town. see how far you make it down the road ♪ around here we take care of our own. >> dana: pete, this is from "the view" and we'll get your reaction after this. >> there is no reason to separate big city people from small town people. that to me is the divisive part of this song. it is a deplorable song and annoying. >> don't tell me not only was he aware of what he was doing use

knowledge that imagery. it has gone too far. >> dana: what do you make of all this? >> my answer to that is try that in a small town. ultimately these are communities that support each other, that understand their own rights, and they support law enforcement. and so if you sucker punch somebody as it says in the song or you carjack an old lady at a red light or hold up a liquor store with a gun there might not be cameras on every street corner but people who know each other and who know the cops and authorities. if you pull a gun in a liquor store in a small town you probably don't get to the cops. the second amendment exists in small town america. then you have sheriffs and cops who are actually arresting perpetrators, prosecutors who will prosecute them who won't let them out and bail and get a maximum sentence so there are real consequences. jason aldean has his finger on the pulse of what people see and

feel. this instance is the difference between the people and corporations. look at aldean's hit. look at public square's ipo for alternative eco system. look at disney, bud light. people are fed up of their values being shoved down their throat as if they're wrong. this song is an anthem for them. nothing racist about it. good values, this country, standing up for yourself and your community. >> bill: other detractors who drew attention to the location where it was shot, a courthouse near nashville. but what is often left out of the conversation is how many other productions took place there. here is a list for you. the lifetime original movie stepping into the holiday. music video from runaway june. paramount holiday fill. nashville county christmas. hannah montana film and many others, that has been excluded

from this somewhat infamous site where a lynching took place in the late 1920s. the context has been lost for a lot of what's the critics are alleging. >> of course. we shouldn't take the bait, bill. jason aldean hasn't. these films you showed, hannah montana, a hallmark movie, a lot of racists working on those films. this is not about that. they want to find another thing to try to condemn values they don't believe in. yet should we play a cardi b song? pick your rapper. degrading, debasing material that degrades women and insults cops? it's run of the mill. so they don't actually care about this. they don't actually believe it's racism. they want to find another thing to yell about to shame someone to not produce content that speaks about virtues and values that they don't believe in. >> dana: the taking down of the

street journal." what do you make of this on its face? >> i would say the electorate is up for grabs in terms of looking at young people and do we want another choice? let's face it, we don't always get hamilton or jefferson. whether they talk about president or your local city counsel. you look at the two likely candidates right now, they both have very high unfavorables, you look at the inroads that kennedy and marian williamson have made. democrats may be looking for another view. trump with very high negatives as well. >> dana: we had the poll call for number two shows that people don't feel that great about a biden/trump rematch. 33% of respondents have a favorable view of trump. 32% biden. 31% neither of them. you factor that into this poll that bill mentioned, what is your name again, bill? that people are interested in a third party.

the thing is that you can talk about these things and joe manchin can go up and do an event in new hampshire and no labels can get moving and yet these things always seem to stall out disappointing people. amy walter of the political report has been tweeting caution from thinking a third party will emerge. one of the big issues is ballot access. you have to actually be on the ballot. no labels is working on that but not quite there yet. >> it takes a lot of organization and money. you think about third-party challenges. typically they've succeeded mainly in a spoiler role. democrats angry are nader in 2000 and republicans ross perot. the perot example, very-well funded and successful executive, and he got 10 to 15% but couldn't get over the line. >> bill: karl rove is writing about this.

his headline. no label should worry democrats. it goes on from there. listen to senator joe manchin at an event this week talking about it. >> we're here to make sure that the american people have an option. the option is can you move the political parties off their respecttive sides. they've gone too far right and too far left. >> bill: an event in new hampshire. i don't know why they always say it could hurt democrats because the best example we have of this hurt republicans in 1992. george bush. so is that the distinction that they're make, the incumbent is damaged? >> why they are thinking it's a biden problem specifically, you look at 2020 results, 18 to 29 year olds went 60% for biden. why is he in the white house? a lot of people would say he won overwhelmingly among young voters. i was looking at a poll this

week, not the fox poll but it came out this week and had some interesting looks at this where both trump, as you would expect among 18 to 29-year-olds add high unfavorables. biden is also under water. when you look at approval rating right now, biden's approval rating among 18 to 29-year-olds is worse than overall. this is supposed to be his core. this is how he got elected in 2020. and they are going away from him. the pollster harvard one of the rival networks talking about how there is this shift among -- basically warning democrats saying black and hispanic 18 to 29-year-olds are moving away from the party. not massive and a lot of them are becoming unfilliateed or independent and why people are looking at this as a specific biden problem. his election depends on overwhelming victory among yack

voters. >> dana: karl rove says stay tuned for next week. it could be a problem with republicans and trump as well. >> dana: i would call it being prepared. research. >> bill: could we say he is doing his homework? have a great weekend. thank you, james. there he is. back by popular demand. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: a potential upset turns into an embarrassing moment that went viral during the beat the freeze race during the atlanta braves home game yesterday. a random fan facing frees. but he trips before the finish line giving him the track and field star duran dunn another victory. the race takes place in between innings at all home braves games. >> bill: that's good fun, dana. >> dana: did you ever do that when you lived there?

the trump -- the trump team was trying to get it farther past. she has been under the gun, right, as a judge. people are questioning her loyalties, not her capabilities but her loyalties because she was appointed by trump. this is now set for may 20th. we'll see if it holds. six months before the general election date, quite a ways after super tuesday when republicans should have a pretty good idea who their nominee will be. >> bill: we'll have other cases before that as well. they will pop up whether in georgia potentially or here in new york. in this particular matter, trump faces 37 counts that include 30 violations of the espionage act over allegations of withholding documents with regard to national security. that's the allegation. he was keeping at mar-a-lago and was not either negotiating in good faith with federal authorities or conceding to their demands and turning back over to the national archives.

>> dana: there are tapes. they have tapes of president trump saying at one point saying i shouldn't have this. so that is getting a lot of attention on the left. however, the trump team feels like they have a pretty good case to push back against not just on the political side of things but on the merits as well. >> bill: so that is out of florida. it is crossing right now. we'll get more feedback in a moment. checking truth social. >> dana: so far i don't see anything. >> bill: nothing there yet. it shall be in the offing as we say. stand by. 15 minutes now before the hour. >> dana: leaders from top artificial intelligence companies heading to the white house today to address concerns over a.i. this comes as big tech continues to roll out their versions of the technology that nothing is stopping them. fox business's edward lawrence is live at the white house with more. hi, edward. >> yeah, and seven major companies deeply involved in the creation of artificial intelligence have agreed to self-regulate the new advancements of this technology.
