>> we are out of time. i love you america. >>. [applause] >> good evening everyone. i am jonathan hunt. it's 11 pm on the east coast and this is america's late news, fox news at night. breaking tonight a potential blockbuster hearing on capitol hill tomorrow is a former us intelligence officer who testified about his claims that the pentagon has pieces of an alien craft a senior congressional correspondent has a preview and illinois is the

first state in the country to end cash bail a sheriff joins us on how that will affect law and order but we began with big news on the hunter biden investigation. on the eve of a court appearance regarding his plea deal a lawyer for the presidents son is facing possible sanctions after a judge in the case claims the lawyer misrepresented herself to get documents removed from the public docket. good evening kevin. >> we could be looking at a disbarment. for right now i can tell you this the district judge in question has threatened to sanction hunter biden's lawyers tonight after a member of his legal team misrepresented her identity to court officials to

properly get documents removed from the public docket it's an extraordinary charge and it's one of those things you almost never hear. this is happening on a night that also showed the gop chairman submit materials to the very same judge flagging recent claims from an irs whistleblower that the probe into hunter biden is tainted by interference. jason smith a missouri republican wants the judge to consider these allegations while she presides over his plea deal and hearing wednesday morning in delaware. the defendant appears to have benefited from political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation of the us attorney's office he added this, it's critical that the court consider the whistleblower materials before

determining whether or not to accept the plea agreement. more on that just a moment in the meantime critics are accusing an obama appointed federal judge of potentially opening the floodgates of a massive wave of illegal migrants looking to gain the system by using asylum claims in the us. ? agreeing to block the biden administration result ? revised policy for asylum-seekers on the mexican border it require the use of a custom border protection app to make an appointment to enter the country illegally and it had another rule that demanded asylum-seekers apply for protection and other countries that they travel through before seeking refuge in the usa. now both policies have been championed as the main reason

the number of illegal border crossings have plummeted since may when the requirements became official but the administration has a couple of weeks 14 days to appeal the latest ruling and there is a lot more where that came from as the intrigue continues in washington. >> a lot to talk about tonight we will do that shortly. republicans on the house judiciary community plan to hold mark zuckerberg in contempt of congress they say he failed to provide documents as part of an investigation into the big tech alleged censorship of conservatives a spokesperson said they have complied with good faith requests from the committee. a hearing on capitol hill wednesday is expected to be out of this world. as lawmakers take a look at if the government is trying to cover up the existence of ufos, of course they are. the truth is out there and no one is better at finding it than the senior congressional correspondent. chad. good evening. >> the hearing addresses the most important questions of all time. is there other life in the universe and are there truly

ufos? they keep telling us they don't exist but they block every opportunity for us to get the information to prove they do exist. >> tim burchett called the hearing featuring military pilots have seen strange things will find for the us. he thinks the government has something to hide. >> where they still covering up the kennedy assassination? >> one former intelligence officer confounds the military has pieces of a craft not from earth and may hold remains of an extraterrestrial pilot. >> i was struck by the detail and after speaking with him i was convinced the american people needed to hear from him directly. >> congress mandated the military document claims of uso's in last year's defense bill. >> we are not saying what they are and what they are not. we are saying there is something our pilots are seeing. it has had an effect on our

training operations. >> reporter: a lack of transparency suggest the government hides other things. >> what else are we going to give them authority to not tell the american people because they're interested in controlling and keeping us in a bubble. >> orson welles 1938 radio drama war of the worlds freak people out so much they crashed cars and jumped out of buildings. >> i am a muslim, i am a black man i am in indiana i could do with a lot. >> reporter: lawmakers hope this hearing sheds light on the question, are we really alone? jonathan? >> chad, thank you very much. let's bring in our fox news contributor and chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee. jason, great to see you as always.

i know you want to talk about ufos but i want to get to the breaking news on the hunter biden investigation. the sanctioning of this lawyer, not necessarily connected in any way to the business dealings etc. that we are talking about with president biden, his possible involvement but it just adds to this growing feeling of some sort of cover-up in your view. >> it does. it begs the question why? why would hunter biden's attorneys lie to the court? the allegation from a judge who is about to rule. that's a pretty serious charge demanding questions that need to be turned into night. i can't wait to see what they came up with. there doesn't seem to be any reasonable excuse as to why they do this and to get under and put eber under the judge's saddle right before they're going to make some rulings is critical. i think what chairman smith on that letter went to the judge is important if you don't understand the whistleblower allegations i don't know how the judge can allow this deal

to continue. >> anton immigration a setback for the biden administration today from a judge ruling the new asylum policy cannot be enforced.they have two weeks to appeal that i want you to listen quickly to jean-pierre at the white house and her take. >> the border enforcement plan works, we have seen that plan working unlawful border crossing has come down to the lowest we have seen in the past two years and so again nothing has changed. >> this is the same judge as i understand ruled against some of president trump's immigration policies. is this judicial overreach?if it's president biden or president trump the target of this judge >> i don't think is judicial overreach i think is the administration making up the

rules. the law is crystal clear regarding credible fear as it relates to amnesty. you can't continue to make up new rules along the way and that's what the judge is saying. it's fascinating to see how they rule on this but as they change what is called credible fear and who can apply for asylum and how, that's the problem and she said the lowest level in two years. joe biden has been the president for more than two years for that's the problem. he created a open border and attracted people here that's why we are seeing record numbers. >> and coming down a considerable percentage from a record number means you're getting a considerable number crossing that border. let's get to ufos because i know you are fascinated by the subject . what you expect we are going to hear tomorrow and i guess the bigger question is, you know the truth.are there aliens out there?

>> expect the unexpected if you talk about bigfoot or ufos, you've got my attention. these witnesses have been, have gone through some pretty thorough background checks with the committee.i fascinated to hear what they say i don't think you're going to have anybody who says i have first-hand knowledge i have seen this but they are going to open up and put more pressure on the administration to be more transparent. donald trump is pretty transparent but that not has not been followed through the allegations they're going to create. i don't know but to say there is an actual craft from another world. that's a pretty, that's out of this world. that something you see on the news stands and just laugh at when you're buying your groceries but we are going to find out tomorrow if they've got something real. >> i believe if they do know that we the american people have a right to know.

jason, it's so good to talk to you. i can't wait to have you back when we find out more about the truth that is out there. thank you jason. >> we are learning new information tonight about the apparent drowning of campbell, the personal chef to the obama's near the former president's martha's vineyard home. police are saying there is no evidence that campbell's death was suspicious. which we know jeff? >> police say campbell lost his balance while paddle boarding and fell into the water and we know this because investigators say he was not alone. the massachusetts state police say campbell was with another person per they saw him struggling to stay above water and try to swim over to help him did not get there in time police are revealing campbell was not attached or leased to the board and he was not wearing a flotation device the examination by the medical examiner showed there was no evidence his death was in any way suspicious the locals say a

drowning at the edgar town gray pond is almost unheard of. >> it virtually never happens. the pond is very safe. it's very calm. it's not title. it's very shallow. and so this was quite unusual in the ocean, that's a different story. the ocean can be dangerous and there is a riptide but not in the pond. >> instagram video from 2019 it appeared campbell knew how to swim but it's unclear how strong of a swimmer he was. prior to that video he made a post with a hashtag still can't swim. campbell was found 100 feet from the shore in water that was eight feet deep. the former president obama and former first lady were not home at the incident but they did release a statement saying parts have broken.

>> we are learning tonight all lot of shoplifting is not petty theft anymore but organized crime and the department of homeland security say mexican drug cartels are calling the shots. miriam is coming a little later i believe. oh she is here. i'm sorry. what's the story? >> the states formed a task force to battle retail theft due to massive amounts being stolen in the sophistication of the thieves and in some cases law enforcement said to was behind it? drug cartels very >> the sophisticated network who have ties to latin america they are associated with high level criminal activity in the states.

>> and targeted theft on a massive scale is changing the way stores do business. dollar tree has stopped selling men's underwear. volta locks perfuming cases and home depot ties down power tools with steel cables. one factor behind the growth of organized retail theft is the internet third party resources can move items online and remain anonymous. >> they found an opportunity they found something that was easy to do and low risk so they have to make it higher risk they have to make it low reward and we have to make sure they understand there are consequences. >> if we needed proof shoplifting is becoming mainstream. this crew witnessed it firsthand three times in just 30 minutes. >> did that guy pay? he didn't pay?

>> a first step to battle organized theft retailers are pushing for online transparency to understand who the high-volume sellers on the intranet are. >> i apologize for throwing you off at the intro that's what happens when trace gallagher goes on vacation. illinois is the first state to and cash bail and some are not too happy about that. one of them is with us tonight jefferson county illinois sheriff we are joined by criminal defense attorney -thanks for being here. is this a bad law? >> thank you for the invitation. it's a bad on many different faces. one of the biggest things is the discretion that's being taken away because criminal justice system is designed on a crime by crime individual crime type system and so a judge's discretion is important in weighing civil liberties and

this system is not a good system. >> i want to bring you in and one second. i want to listen first to the illinois representative buckner and their view of this. >> we are finally creating a system that was based on justice we are finally creating a system based on what you did not what you have. >> that is what supporters of ending cash bail say it's about social justice. >> i don't agree with that because most americans struggle to make ends meet. this is not about rich versus poor. most people are living paycheck to paycheck i don't agree with the foundation of this no cash

bail but more important than that they call this the safety act should be called the dangerous act because this is a recipe for chaos. people who commit crimes are not going to have to post bail. what happens? they are on the street the next day committing another crime and this is also important the morale police officers can you imagine the sheriff and other officers out there they arrest somebody in the next time they look somebody in the face and they are going to create that same crime the next day. >> is that your experience that this strikes a blow to the morale of your deputies? >> absolutely. this is my 32nd year in the criminal justice system. i worked investigations and i washed a revolving door type programs where it was cash and beliefs and very little accountability and consequences and each time that you see a revolving door program it does demoralize the officers putting it on the line every day. >> have we seen any evidence anywhere and i know we have had

a zero bail system here in la. have we seen evidence that it reduces crime? >> absolutely not. we have had this in la. i don't mean to scare the folks in illinois that we live in dangerous times. think about this. what if somebody commits a crime has a mental health issue or a drug issue they go in they are back on the street again and they have received no treatment. we are just propagating criminals and really what we are doing, we are using human beings as guinea pigs to promote these radicals and we should not be using people to promote these policies that do not secure safety. >> what kind of conversations have you had directly with those who supported and voted for zero bail?

>> in the conversations i have had i have kept it simple and to the point and those who would claim that the system is racist or discriminatory against the poor that that is an argument without evidence or fact if you have a poor person or a wealthy person that has a choice in front of them to commit a crime there is a consequence of committing that crime. so the poor person knows he will have to post cash bond if he is caught a wealthy person will know he has to post cash bond if he is caught so before they commit the crime they have the choice and if they choose to commit the crime it doesn't make a difference with their socioeconomic statuses are what their skin color is they chose to commit that crime and there's consequences for it and this is taking away consequence making the system weaker.

>> thank you for your thoughts tonight and we will have you back as we see how this plays out in illinois and brian, great to have you here. thank you. >> still ahead, what we are learning about lebron james sons sudden frightening cardiac arrest but first protesters continue to fill the streets in israel today and tonight after the parliament made major change moves to their judicial process and later ahead of tomorrow's ufo whistleblowing hearing do you believe in ufos? have you ever seen one? let us know on social media we will show you the results and read the best responses in the nightcap the truth will be right here. >>

>> keeping china's military ambitions and check is the goal of wargames going on right now involving the us at one of its most important allies, jennifer griffin has details from the pentagon. >> reporter: the us and australia launch there ever largest ever combined military exercises two weeks of drills with a clear message for china or than 30,000 military personnel from 13 nations 10 years ago this was simply an exercise included the us and australia now fear of china has led japan and germany to join for the first time. >> the most important message china can take from this exercise is that we are -by our

many nations together. >> lloyd austin is en route to australia to visit us and australian troops and for the first time the u.s. navy commissioned a warship at a foreign port. it entered service in sydney australia. >> all of this is building muscle memory between our countries defense courses and building comfort and familiarity. >> it's important for us to demonstrate the flexibility of our training areas and it's great to have the navy involved this far south. >> reporter: a chinese spy ship showed up to observe as russia and china conduct their own joint military exercises off the korean peninsula media has been expunging the foreign minister who recently served as ambassador to washington from official government websites a

foreign minister who met recently with the secretary of state and russia's deputy foreign minister was replaced by a hardliner close to the president. another issue between the us and australia the extradition of a former us marine pilot who was accused of illegally training chinese fire pilots. he flew jets and specialized in taking off and landing on navy aircraft carriers he has been indicted by the us department of justice for money laundering and conspiracy to export defense services and sits currently in an australian jail cell his wife said he is innocent and he said the chinese pilots he was training were civilians. >> thank you as always. new tonight a us military official says a russian fighter jet damaged a us drone firing ? flying over syria by firing flares. the head of central command called on russia to end their reckless unprovoked and

unprofessional behavior that detracts from the mission to defeat isis. soon if the uproar is growing tonight in israel over the government's judicial reform legislation the us has expressed concerns over the changes which aim to curb the power of the israeli supreme court many continue to take their anger to the streets we are in jerusalem tonight. >> reporter: the main highway running through tel aviv blocked by protesters overnight. place on horseback client with water cannons clashed with demonstrators 10 officers were injured. the chaos unfolding after the israeli parliament passed a controversial judicial reform that prevents the supreme court from countering future government decisions based on what judges deem as reasonable the vote sending shockwaves

through society that have seen 29 straight weeks of protest. >> i feel sad i feel big disappointment. >> media report several reservists did not show up for duty today joining more than 10,000 army reserve soldiers who are suspending voluntary service in protest of the judicial reform the biden administration has expressed concern over the fracture this bill because us state department reassured the closest middle east ally that support is unwavering. >> there not be any stoppage of military aid and that's because our commitment to israel in our commitment to israel's security is ironclad. >> the fallout from the vote affecting the israeli economy with morgan stanley lori the country's credit rating and moody's credit rating agency warning a significant risk to investors due to israel's

uncertain social and political future. the prime minister pushing back against the assessments in a statement calling this a momentary response adding when the just clears it will be clear the economy is very strong. jonathan? >> thank you trey. ucla professor is with me in the studio now we are delighted to have you here professor. you were saying to me earlier this is essentially even though israel doesn't have a constitution it's a constitutional change the like of which could not happen here in the way it is happening there. >> think how difficult it is to change the american constitution. let's take equal rights amendment the equal rights amendment was a bipartisan effort it passed the congress and senate and yet it never entered the u.s. constitution because it wasn't ratified. it was only ratified by 35 of the 38 states. now imagine you could have

changed the united states fundamental system of government by passing along not into parliaments and houses but in one because israel only has one parliament.and you would do so not by even using two thirds of a majority but by the slimmest majority almost the slimmest majority available. >> this creates a problem as the "washington post" was pointing out for president biden because it could greatly weaken the independence of israel's judiciary so they are challenging his agenda of promoting democracy putting the president in a difficult situation as he seeks to rebuke benjamin netanyahu and we have jean-pierre at the white house and yesterday she said the vote was unfortunate and today she turned down that language. take a listen.

>> it is clear there is a significant debate.and discussion that is happening currently on the israel judicial reform such debates are healthy and they are part of our vibrant democracy. >> so a healthy debate perhaps but it doesn't appear to be healthy the instability we are seeing on the streets in jerusalem and tel aviv. >> this is really what the government is now moving forward to it has no real consensus this is a fundamental change that has very slim consensus around israel even if you look at the poles that were published. benjamin netanyahu coalition is really losing if elections were held today it would dramatically lose power and so it reflects on the amount of consensus and agreement of the public. >> it strikes me in a country that has seen so much conflict

that this is one of the biggest internal divisions among the israeli people we have ever seen. it's that important. >> it has been going on for seven months this is important for people to understand. this has been going on for seven months people are going to demonstrate and we are talking about thousands of people coming on the street leaving work leaving their homes in order to show their protest and their disagreement with this judicial reform. >> if one thinks this is as benjamin netanyahu says the very epitome of democracy and action whereas his critics say a complete attack on democracy whichever side you come down on an unstable divided israel is not good for the middle east. >> it is not good for the middle east or israel's trajectory as the rhetoric that is being promoted now is through a divide of israeli

society especially through the idea of and all of the other divides that have to do with israel is a very complex multicultural society strengthening these divides puts benjamin netanyahu in a very problematic situation is his ability to withdraw from the reform the more he pushes in order to convince his supporters the more it is difficult for him to back off from it which puts him in a very unfortunate situation. >> and as we have seen so often if there is any instability the enemies like to take advantage of that. hoffman by the way in german means there's a lot of people with less hope in israel than they just had just 24 hours ago we will see how this plays out. thank you for being here

tonight. coming up, lebron james son is in stable condition tonight after suffering cardiac arrest. still ahead, skittles teaming up with a familiar condiment brand to bring you a brand-new flavor it is a strange one and the latest in beachwear fashion in china. will you be joining the trend? the best viral videos are coming up next. >>

>> the nba lebron's star son is in critical condition after going into cardiac arrest the research scientists is here to discuss what may have happened and what his road to recovery might look like. thanks for being here. i want to get to a statement we got from the lebron james family foundation they said

yesterday while practicing he suffered a cardiac arrest medical staff was able to treat him and taken to the hospital. he is in stable condition. we asked for respect and privacy for the family and we will update the media when there is more information. they have also think the usc star and hospital staff for the work they did to help him. so you have an 18-year-old super fit collapses on a basketball court goes into cardiac arrest. how does that happen? >> it's a good question and a lot of people are wondering this given who his father is in his own prospects to make the mba himself the problem is this is something that happens on a regular basis we have had more attention on it because of the vaccine induced cases and otherwise young healthy men but we have to exercise caution.

young men who have been playing basketball who have been at the peak of fitness regularly have suffered cardiac arrest. a basketball player here in la many years ago died during a game on the court you had another player a freshman just exactly a year ago who had cardiac arrest under similar circumstances and there's no way to know what's happening. the family asked for privacy and respect and i understand that he's not a public figure he doesn't owe us an explanation if he is willing to say something fine i'm sure at this point they ruled out things if they aren't there but if he does have it this is probably his first time knowing it. >> these young men and women can have these kinds of conditions they can have an issue with their heart and you don't realize it until you push

your heart all the way and that's happens to young athletes. >> hyper myopathy which is sudden cardiac arrest and otherwise healthy people who are playing extremely physical sports when their heart rate goes up these are people whose enlarged hearts are they are due to a genetic problem not from anything they acquired during their lifetime and normally their heart is doing fine it's only when you push it to its absolute limit that you notice something that something goes wrong and in this case it may be happening but we are just speculating. but time will tell. >> we know he has talked extensively about really wanting one thing and that would be to play in the mba with his son which would be an extraordinary thing. does this rule that out or can he recover from something like this and go onto an nba career? >> jamar hamlin who had this

during an nfl game was able to go back in place safely because his condition was a freak occurrence unlikely to happen again. if this is a genetic condition it may not be compatible and an issue such as a transient arrhythmia or something can be where they implanted a defibrillator in the heart or they have for other basketball players. and they are able to go play in most circumstances it just depends on what the ideology is and time will tell. >> we certainly wish the entire james family the very best tonight we hope that he will be back on the court and i think we would all love to see him on the court with his dad who such a great family man. thank you so much for being here. we will see you on the nightcap. thank you doctor cra >> first step in tonight's viral videos.

>> we are back with the night --tonight's topics come ufos the pentagon receives 100 ufo recordings every month but what happens if aliens decide

to visit us? would you assume they come in peace or would you go full independence day will smith? not the oscars will smith. kevin, are aliens out there would they be peaceful? >> i don't think they are out there but if they are out there i would say it's possible. i could be wrong. i will just say it this way. people who think nothing is out there usually end up being wrong. i am not. i am a skeptic. i will admit it but if it ends out to be true i will not be that guy, i don't believe that. >> they would be peaceful if they met you, kevin because you are officially the nicest man on earth. marianne? aliens? >> we are definitely not alone and i would try to give them the benefit of the doubt. maybe they are friendly may be be prepared in case to run behind something. i don't know. >> jeff, are you will smith? >> if aliens are coming here

there only after one thing and it is not making friends. why would they travel? >> they don't. [laughter] >> et was my favorite show as a child. i lived and breathed et so i would love to believe that they are real and they are friendly. we have not just billions of stars we have billions of galaxies. so after that. what are the odds we are long? >> i don't think we are and i think they come in peace. we asked twitter and instagram followers and out instagram, 56 percent said they would be peaceful but on twitter, and who thought twitter or whatever would be the more optimistic place 60 percent believe they would be peaceful.

responses, robert says i hope they will be peaceful because there is no way i can fight aliens and based on how sensitive we are think we are more hostile than aliens also probably why they are coming at us very good point. nobody would ever hide from kevin because i say officially the nicest man on planet earth. thank you for watching america's latent news. i am jonathan in los angeles. see you tomorrow. when she bundled >> saved her dream house and her dream car -- -barbie. -barbie. -barbie. well, i wouldn't be so sure. it could be -- -oh, it's definitely barbie. -everyone knows who she is. we're standing in front of her house, dude.
