he was seen twice at that botanical garden with bags. they are asking residents to lock their doors so he doesn't get anymore supplies than he currently has. two schools are back open today as the search area shifts to the west. again authorities still believe that cavalcante is surrounded. right now the focus is securing that perimeter so he doesn't breach it like we saw earlier in the week, which forced authorities to shift that perimeter or the search area farther south. they are relying on tips from the public right now reward money for information to leading to an arrest is at $20,000. >> bill: hope those folks end it soon. thanks, nate. >> dana: right now a fulton county court judge is expected to release a special grand jury report that helped indict former president trump. you will get to see that. jonathan serrie is at the courthouse and bring us details about what is in the unredacted

documents any moment. >> dana: george floyd riots sent violence and crime spiraling out of control. a top minnesota democrat who once led calls for dismantling the minneapolis police department has changed her tune after becoming the victim of a violent carjacking. we wish that hadn't happened to her. we'll have more on that in a moment. i'm dana perino. >> bill: happy friday. >> dana: same to you. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer, good morning. three years since the riots and looting in 2020. the near constant protests calling to defund the police. minnesota democrats tried the abolish the entire police department in minneapolis with support from lawmakers from omar and ellison.

rampant crime remains a constant threat in that city. minneapolis reports hundreds of carjackings and nearly 6,000 robberies in a car so far this year. >> dana: the latest victim with a new point of view after attacked and beaten in front of her own children calming for more law and order. he said look at my face, remember me when you think about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of holding them accountable for our actions. mike tobin has more. >> democratic farm labor's second vice chairwoman says she is part of the statistics and filled with rage after falling victim to a carjacking by armed young men. it shows her bleeding from the head. she has cuts, bruises and broken leg. she was attacked right in the driveway to her house by four men with guns that happened in front of her children. her attackers knew what they

were doing. clearly had done it before. she called for gun control and stiffer penalties. part of her post reads catch these young people running wild and creating chaos and hold them in custody and prosecute them period. this is a dramatic change of perspective from a liberal activist who three years ago was part of the movement to dismantle the minneapolis police department in the wake of the murder of george floyd. jun 5, 2020. we'll dismantle the minneapolis police department. say it with me. dismantle the police department. mpd has failed the black community. now her car was recovered by police, abandoned a short time after the incident. publicly she praised the mpd officers as well as mayor frey. carjackings are up in minneapolis and nearby st. paul. sheriff's deputies have taken an aggressive approach. carjackings are down. >> bill: the president of the chicago teachers union who is

also a staunch critic of private schools is being blasted as a hypocrite. this after she confirmed reports that her son is enrolled in a private catholic school. can't make it up, can you? garrett tenney back in chicago with that. good morning. >> bill, good morning. a couple of weeks ago stalesy davis gates said she and the teachers union would foot tooth and nail against sporters of school choice and private school. her son is in a private catholic high school and pushing back an those calling her a hypocrite explaining the truth. if you are a black family living in a black community high quality neighborhood schools are the dream, not the reality. for my husband and me it forced us sending our son to a private high school so he could live out his dream of being a soccer player and having curriculum to meet his social and emotional

needs as his two sisters remain in chicago public schools. for years davis gates has been an outspoken critic of the kinds of school choice and voucher programs that can help families who unlike her aren't able to afford to send their kids to private school but who also want their kids to live out their dreams. last month she called supporters of those programs fascists. at the start of the last school year when someone suggested it was racist to keep poor kids of color trapped in failing public schools she replied school choice was the choice of racists created to avoid integrating schools with black children. test scores are why she and other families may want to send their kids other than chicago public schools. only 21% of graduates are proficient in reading. 3 to 8 graders 20% of students can read at grade level and 16%

are proficient in math. >> bill: no good. more coming up shortly. thank you, garrett. >> virginia suffered the worst learning loss in the nation during the pandemic. stemming from schools being closed and standards being masked because they were reduced and students were told that they were doing fine and they weren't. >> dana: governor youngkin shining a spotlight on learning loss during the pandemic and plans for students to get back on track. shannon bream, you have an amazing thing come up on sunday. on our show not too long ago former secretary of state condy rice was on and i asked her about these national report card numbers and chronic absenteeism and she said we're facing a national humiliation. shannon, tell us about what you are planning to do this weekend? >> we're doing a deep dive on "fox news sunday." governor youngkin will be our

exclusive guests. test scores that families and kids are hurting. you can't make up the learning loss overnight. what is working and what's not. we sat down with parents, teachers, students, public schools, homeschools digging into all of it to see where you can find solutions. this is a once in a generation hit these kids are taking. how do we help them make up that huge gap? >> bill: want to play this. he has been touring the commonwealth all week making a lot of stops and talking a lot. a sound bite about what he is saying. this is a comment about kids not being in school. it's significant and virginia is unfortunately a leader almost in this category. watch. >> one in five students are chronically absent today meaning they miss more than 18 days of school. total absenteeism as you've seen, particularly in third and eighth grade nearly doubled. the impact of that on a

student's ability to achieve is not too hard to understand. you are not in the classroom. you are not going to learn it. >> bill: these are the states included in there. show viewers at home. virginia the commonwealth is on that list there. shannon, his point is this. if you are not there, you are not going to learn from it. >> yeah. all the data shows what makes sense to all of us. the more you are in the classroom the better your test scores the end to be. teachers talked to us about how chaotic it is to have a kid in and out. hard to keep them up with the rest of the team and hard to keep them going with their learning. you want the stability of having them be there. listen, during covid when you are doing school from home or from your computer or not going or whatever was happening we have scores of kids who went missing during that and have not come back to school. that will impact everybody involved. when they do show up and do try to plug back in it's a difficult

situation teachers say to try to keep them up with their peers. virginia has a new program how they will pour into these kids but a national conversation how we bring them back to the classroom. >> dana: the national report card. i've been harping, nine points down in math since 1990 and 2020. four points down if reading. i was an an event last night experts were talking about artificial intelligence and the type of worker we need in this country to keep competitive with china and everything that's coming. we do not have the student pipeline that we need right now. part of this is not just about the students' individual life. it is true if you can't read by eighth grade your chances of going to jail are very high. there is a societal cost to that but also a future societal and possible national security problem that we are creating if

we don't deal with the school issue right away, shannon. >> yeah, as you said that reading is so foundational. if you can do that, if kids are proficient they can teach themselves a lot. pick up a book, go online and read something and digest the information and self-teach as well as what they get in a classroom. when we have these astounding number of people getting out of high school and not proficient in the basic reading and math it often sets them up for failure and hurts our society more broadly. we want to encourage kids to think about other things. vocational training, military, whatever is best for them. even those things will require basic proficiency to get started and get on the road to having a successful life and being able to contribute to society as well. that is one of the big things we hear from educators. if these kids can't read we cannot help them. they can't help themselves. >> bill: this program is called all in va spending $4 hundred million on it. if he succeeds he has a blueprint for the rest of the country and see how it goes.

very important topic. glad you are doing it this sunday. "fox news sunday." glenn youngkin will be shannon's guest. hope we learn a lot from you. >> thanks, guys. see you then. >> here he is. jimmy fallon. >> bill: he is in the news for the wrong reasons. not a laughing matter. late night talk show host jimmy fallon known for cracking jokes but some of the staff say the workplace was no laughing matter. how the comedian saying he is sorry. >> dana: we're learning more about the suspect in the brutal attack on the university of wisconsin student. his background shows no serious criminal charges. what triggered the violence? >> the migrant crisis in a dem-led city is taking over one of the busiest airports. what can be done to stop the flow? good question for a lot of us. >> the number of people who want to come here is infinite.

>> dana: we're waiting for this story to break. in fulton county the judge will release the special grand jury report. no blacked out parts of it and this is about the trump indictment and jonathan serrie is our reporter on the ground there just getting the document and starting to look through it and bring you an update and report as soon as we can get into that document. that is to come. >> our special victims unit worked tirelessly throughout the night to try to find out where these victims were and to reunite the family separated in such a violent way.

>> bill: police in san antonio arrested subject of abducting a couple on wednesday in front of their five children. police rescued them from a separate home about a day later. no word on the motivation. police say it was targeted. a third suspect still at large in san antonio. we might get more news on that sometime today. >> dana: host of the tonight show jimmy fallon is facing the findings of a bombshell report about replacing a toxic workplace for staff. television writers strike for fair treatment and it is dark now. cb cotton from new york with the latest. >> jimmy fallon is known for making viewers laugh but his apology is making headlines this morning. the rolling stone reports fall onapologized thursday evening in a zoom call with employees of the tonight show. he felt bad, embarrassed and didn't intend to create a

workplace described as toxic by more than a dozen former and current employees. those allegations were shared in a previous rolling stone report published thursday morning. the staffers alleged he had outburst and erratic rebarf orr where people were left feeling be littleed. others refer to guest rooms at crying rooms. the top leadership did not hold fallon accountability. one employee said i was in a low place in my life and i thought about taking my own life all the time. some current staffers have come out to defend fallon telling people magazine fallon was positive and communicative and calling these allegations very old. these staffers pointed to previous leadership for most of the show's problems. in a statement nbc said in part as in any workplace, we have had employees raise issues. those have been investigated and

action has been taken where appropriate. according to the report there have been six leadership teams in the past nine years since fallon took over the tonight show in 2014. when he apologized he pledged consistency moving forward. >> dana: cb cotton thank you in new york. if you are looking for some late night laughs tune into gutfeld airing on fox every single week night at 10:00 p.m. no strike there. >> bill: chicago is running out of space to house migrants. they are doing it at the airport. more than 13,000 have arrived in the windy city since last august. 400 are housed in a section of o'hare airport. up from 31 at the beginning of august. residents push back against brandon johnson. >> mayor johnson campaigned as the people's mayor. sadly, the people are telling me

that he is the migrant's mayor. >> lawrence jones on this from cross-country. get the numbers again. 13,500 migrants have arrived in chicago since august 2022. sanctuary city. >> this is my favorite crisis. it is one of the few crises that democrats create a big idea and they say give us the keys and we'll help you. and then when it is at their doorstep and they have to deal with the reality of it. me in my state of texas has been dealing with this for years and we manage our money very well. we have dedicated $4 billion to the cause. we've done it with no help from the federal government. now you have these sanctuary cities that are faced to deal with a problem that they created. if you talk with the folks, i've been at the border many times and ask them why they decided to come to america illegally they said the president said they can come. democrats said they would take

care of them. you have all these folks going to these cities expecting that they will have housing, food and they don't. i was running down the hudson the other day and i saw migrant families stacked up with their signs saying we need work. can you buy this? can you do this? give me food for my children. it is sad to say there will be a sanctuary if you are going to get help and when people get here, there is no help for them. >> bill: the mayor calls your governor in texas a mad man. >> this wouldn't have been a problem if he would have acknowledged the flights being from the federal government. abbott, he blamed greg abbott for the flights coming in the middle of the night by the biden administration. abbott said i might as well send buses as well. where is the pushback with the federal government that were flying people into your city.

texas wasn't the first one to do it. >> dana: the victim attack in wisconsin. the dane county deputy the judge saying the defendant was simply driving down the street, saw the victim. no prior interaction, decided to pull his car over, follow her and attack her. i know you cover these things a lot. here is the prosecutor and what he said yesterday. >> we live in a community where thousands of young people moved to our city, thousands of young women and have a fear of not being followed. >> dana: back to school. some of the college towns dealing with a lot of this violence plaguing the country. >> this is happening everywhere. i don't know why we thought our colleges were going to be excluded from this. the reality is if you talk to law enforcement now, there is a culture of violence right now.

it was happening pre-covid and it ex as per ateed. until the nation has this national effort. it starts locally but we have to unify and say we're not going to take this. months ago i said there would be instances of vigilante justice. and there was. sadly, these college students don't have that ability to protect themselves. a lot of times the second amendment is not there unless you live in a state like texas or you live in missouri or somewhere like that where you have open carry on college campuses. should college students be forced to do that? shouldn't we provide a safe environment where they can learn? >> bill: absolutely in a big way. the person being charged as no record. a couple minor traffic accidents. the way this woman was treated. broken jaw and strangled.

it is not right. >> i did a ride along with a tennessee state trooper a couple of months ago. he said i've never seen people so angry before. he goes, people are just angry in society right now. we will see more of this, you can bet your money on it. >> bill: lawrence, thank you. lawrence jones in studio. see you this weekend. we'll be watching. breaking news now. back to fulton county. a judge has just released the report by the special grand jury that was convened around may of 2022 and it consists of 75 witnesses, 26 jurors, three of whom were alternate and a quick glance at this the associated press is saying this grand jury recommended charges against senator lindsey graham, against two ex-senators, i don't have names for them just yet. general flynn. none of them received indictments from this grand jury. the report is out right now.

runs about 28 pages in length. so it will take a minute to get through it. jonathan turley is on the telephone now. a little bit of pressure on you. how far have you gotten into this report, sir? >> i only have seen excerpts on the report. the greatest takeaway is the fact that they wanted to indict purdue and others. and including senator graham. that really does, i think, undermine the credibility of some of these findings. i don't know of any basis under which senator graham would be looking at a criminal charge. now, we have to get through this report to see what that evidence was, but i haven't really seen any credible suggestions that he was likely to be even considered

for indictment. so it does raise some flags about the scope of the investigation but more importantly the evidence that the grand jury thought was sufficient for an indictment. >> bill: here is more, professor to add to your argument. they also recommended indictment against lynn wood who is the famous attorney out of atlanta, georgia. he was also not charged, professor. >> yes, i did see that as well. that raises a whole different set of concerns because, you know, when we first heard about the investigation by willis, it was triggered by the georgia call which some do not believe is credible evidence of a crime. it was a settlement discussion as to whether there would be additional recounts or investigation. but when the grand jury -- there were multiple grand jury proceedings in this

investigation, when it went forward, they seemed to be throwing this very broad net bringing in anyone that had any association with former president trump. and then the indictment came out and it felt like this was charging everyone and letting god and the jury sort them out. apparently the grand jury wanted greater numbers. when you start to indict attorneys who are making legal arguments that many of us reject, it really raises additional problematic issue. are we going to be criminalizing not just making what were viewed as unsupported election fraud claims but also charge the attorneys who are bringing these claims to court or to the legislature. >> dana: jonathan turley, stand by. jonathan serrie has the document

now and had a chance to look through it. >> one of the -- some of the most interesting things in this document is the people who were not charged, the people who are not indicted. that this special grand jury nevertheless recommended the district attorney seek indictments against. they include former georgia senator david perdue, who had run unsuccessfully for governor, much of his campaign was focused on allegations that the election had been stolen. also senator lindsey graham of south carolina, not charged but nevertheless a loyal trump supporter who had been on some of those phone calls to georgia officials in the wake of mr. trump's narrow election loss in the 2020 presidential election. also lynn wood, a prominent

long-time attorney here in georgia. not only serving on the trump team but who really became a household name at least in the atlanta area, while defending richard jewel, an early f.b.i. suspect in the olympic park bombing who in the end turned out to have nothing to do with that. so very interesting these people that this special grand jury had recommended indictments against, but once willis, the d.a., brought their investigation to the actual grand jury responsible for these indictments, they were not among those, among the 19 co-defendants who were ultimately indicted. back to you. >> bill: stand by. coming back in a moment. back to professor turley a couple of questions i don't understand here. this grand jury was selected in may of 2022. it's september of 2023 now. i just don't understand how that

calendar works in a legal sense. and even though you may question whether or not the grand jury had recommended indicting certain politicians, the indictments didn't happen. so does that -- is that still a problem, or if you were a defense attorney say for mark meadows or president trump, do you go back into this report and make a case out of it? >> i'm not too sure how much of a case you can make out of the special purpose grand jury's final report. because there were layers of grand juries here. and ultimately these individuals were not indicted. but this was part of that process. i think it has more of a concern about the process than it will be for the prosecution because the prosecutors ultimately and the grand jury ultimately did

not indict these individuals. but you have to wonder how this special grand jury could have concluded that senators graham and purdue could be criminally indicted for stating what was their political views as to the election and the need for further investigation. they didn't just -- this didn't just come out of the head of zeus. these were grand jurors with prosecutors presenting evidence. >> bill: a timeline. the final page here. page 11 of 28. it is dated and signed the 15th of december 2022. so that's nine months ago. is it typical to sit on something like this for that period of time? >> yeah, i really can't answer that because this is anything but a typical case in terms of

when this type of information is released. more information tends to get released as you go forward in a prosecution. the defense is allowed to see more information. this is really is alarming by the effort to or interest in indicting people like graham and purdue. but it ultimately did not occur. the irony about this, this is similar to the trump position where there was a letter drafted that is being discussed in this and another prosecution that was never sent. one of the arguments of the trump team was well, you know, that never occurred and so you really can't use it as evidence of a crime. i'm not too sure this would be particularly strong evidence for the defense to raise. this was a tainted process from the beginning. we already know that the early

grand jury really lacked a certain credibility from the grand juror that went public. you have this individual who was really quite extraordinary in giving public interviews that really undermined the credibility of the entire grand jury. she was actually giggling about how many people they wanted to indict and how many different charges they wanted to bring and it was a real thrill kill type of feeling to her interview. well, this recommendation reflects that she spoke truthfully that they were really interested in indicting everyone that had any connection to trump or supported a recount or further investigation. >> dana: one of the things, though, jonathan would be perhaps willis looked at these recommendations and thought she might not like them personally

whatever. she is looking at the law and might have said i could never prove this beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law and why she leaves them on the cutting room floor? >> yes, that certainly is a possibility. i would hope that it's true. the defendants that we've mentioned would have raised colossal constitutional questions. these are questions that i think willis would lose on. to indict graham and purdue would be the criminalization of political speech. and it would get a fast track to the supreme court. i think willis understood that. i'm hoping that willis looked at the list and said wow, this is a bridge too far. in this case about four bridges too far. but i still wonder where this grand jury got these notions that they could indict people for publicly defending president trump or questioning the election. >> dana: and i wonder about

this. will this be news to somebody like a lindsey graham? would he have known his name was on this list for a recommended indictment? >> it is not clear if graham would have been notified because of this special grand jury. it is not even clear whether he was asked to testify. now graham did take some direct actions with regard to georgia. that might have tipped the balance for the special grand jury that they felt that he went further than just speech and reached out to people connected to georgia. but nobody, i've seen, has suggested that lindsey graham ever came near any line of criminal culpability in the actions and statements that he made. >> bill: reading further down, professor. i want to get back to jonathan serrie as well. the grand jury, reading from the

report here. heard extensive testimony on the subject of alleged election fraud and they say it came from poll workers, investigators, technical experts, the state of georgia employees and officials and they write this. we find by unanimous vote that no widespread fraud took place in the election in georgia 2020. so that's in the report. they mention brad -- it's up for the people to decide for trump running in 2024. stand by, professor. jonathan serrie. what's the status about when this case could or would proceed, and in which form and against which defendants in the rico matter? >> yeah, hi there, bill. there is an october 23rd start date for two of the

co-defendants. the judge has yet to decide for the remaining 17. district attorney willis had asked that all 19 co-defendants be tried at the same time. but the judge raised the question that because about half a dozen of them are asking that their cases be moved to federal court, what happens if this trial gets underway in fulton county, you start hearing witness testimony against some of these defendants, and then suddenly they are moved to federal court? then it is a case of double jeopardy. but as far as the october 23rd start date, right now the only two co-defendants approved for that are trump attorneys -- former trump attorneys.

they had asked for a speedy trial. it appears they will get it starting on october 23rd. as far as the other 17 co-defendants, we're still awaiting the judge to set a start date. >> bill: the d.a. willis is in the middle of all this. when was the last time she said something either in court or publicly? >> it has been a while since she has issued any public statements. she has really been allowing the grand jury, the indictments to speak for themselves really and now the prosecution presenting their case in these preliminary hearings as the judge really determines the logistics of this trial or most likely trials plural. >> bill: what we're learning a lot of this is a status update and not a ton of legal analysis from the grand jury.

does that match up with what you are seeing in that report as you read it quickly? >> yeah. what we're seeing here, this report, the unredacted version that has been released, is a report from the special grand jury that conducted a multi-month into the allegations of election tampering. they didn't have the power to indict. they could only recommend that the district attorney seek indictments but they did have subpoena power. so this was crucial to d.a. willis's investigation. so you really saw the scope of that investigation, who they were looking at and really with these 39 with it -- these 39 recommended indictments, it showed that the special grand jury had a much broader scope than what the actual grand jury

that was handing down the indictments did. of course, we now know that only 19 people were actually indicted. so the potential was actually far greater based on the scope of the initial investigation by the special grand jury, bill. >> dana: jonathan, it's dana. i had a question how this is such a national news story. we are breaking into programming and we will make our viewers get a chance to understand this. i'm curious about in georgia and in atlanta itself, is this a big story there or something that is sort of on the periphery? >> you know, quite honestly, when we began covering this, we weren't sure what to expect. would there be massive protests, would things be relatively quiet? it has been relatively quiet. in fact, during all these preliminary proceedings talking about maybe two weeks ago, the

only protest that we saw was not directly related to the case involving former president trump and his associates. it was protestors of the law enforcement training center they are building outside of town. and they just took advantage of the -- all of the media being in town. but as far as the interest here in atlanta, we're not seeing a lot of protestors. certainly on key dates you will see a handful of protestors but not as large as what we've seen at other events. >> dana: my question i guess what i was getting at was that if you put yourself into the minds of a georgian asked to be on the grand jury and the feelings are raw, that might be one of the reasons why there were so many recommendations for 39 people to be indicted and

only ends up with 19. jonathan turley is still with us. i understand you have a little news maybe? >> not news, i just wanted to add that the grand jury report, when you go through it, has just this very long list of violations that did not make any part of the ultimate indictment. but i would also add the grand jury expressly says that the office of the fulton county district attorney, quote, had nothing to do with the recommendations contained here in. that's buried on page eight. it appears on page eight. certainly an indication they were acting on their own. it certainly indicates that willis did not necessarily ask for this whole list. but what's fascinating is this evidence was presented to them being defendants were named to

them. when you look down the conspiracy to commit crimes and these other violations, it just goes through every part of the criminal code. it really does reaffirm what an earlier grand juror said. they went helter-skelter on the criminal code. they had a huge number of people they wanted to indict and seemed like an exciting process for her. but it clearly was careening out of control when you include some of these individuals who no one has suggested committed any criminal acts like graham and purdue. >> bill: very interesting. stand by. professor. phil holloway is an attorney out of atlanta, georgia. give us your top line observation as you read this? >> great to be with you.

my take is a little bit different than professor turley's. i believe that the district attorney's office was much more of a player, so to speak, in terms of this final report released by the investigative grand jury. it is not a whole lot different than a traditional grand jury. the prosecutor controls everything. the prosecutor is their legal advisor and answers legal questions and the prosecutor picks and chooses what witnesss to suggest they bring in. i agree with jonathan that the investigative grand jury appeared to be out of control. they wanted to indict current and former senators, lindsey graham, david perdue, kelly leffler and others including michael flynn. so i suspect that the district attorney is more responsible for this final product than the

grand jury says that she is. nevertheless, dana's question earlier this is a big news story in atlanta but as jonathan said there isn't a protest. it's a very big local media story and the national scene as well but needless to say, i'm not surprised with what's in this grand jury report. it is about what i expected. it names people who are i think referenced in the indictment as unindicted co-conspirators. that's referenced multiple times in the big indictment. now we get a flavor of who those people are. >> dana: two questions on that, phil. there are some critics of willis who say she is looking to advance her career or she has politics in mind.

but did she show some restraint here? >> i think there was very little restraint shown, honestly, in this massive 98-page indictment. this is just unheard of and such a giant indictment that the courts are going to have a very difficult time digesting it. we're starting to see that. >> dana: she could have indicted senator lindsey graham or michael flynn and she didn't do that. >> well, she would have had to -- if she was going to indict a lindsey graham, she is going to have to prove he is doing more than exercising his first amendment rights to be suspicious and to voice those suspicions. >> dana: why would the grand jury recommend he be indicted and she said i can't prove that in court so she won't add him to the list? >> i think the short answer to that is we saw what -- the

foreperson go on her media tour. she wanted her 10 or 15 minutes of fame and helped drive this grand jury sort of almost off the rails. they were a little bit out of control, no doubt about that. >> bill: phil, why is this dated the 15th of december 2022, 9 months ago? what's happening in that nine-month period before this is made public? >> well, the district attorney was preparing her criminal indictment. she used this as a starting place. normally when people are arrested there is -- the police take out an arrest warrant and they go to jail and the d.a. gives the indictment. she didn't have a police investigation. they had her own. she calls it an objective grand juries. prosecutors can manipulate them and get them to do what

prosecutors want them to do because even though there is a judge technically that oversees it. the judge is not involved in the day-to-day operation. it's the d.a. that does it behind the driver's wheel here and steered both of these grand juries in the direction she wanted to go. there is new news coming out. some of these defendants are filing motions yesterday claiming that the special prosecutor that she named who actually is a criminal defense lawyer in atlanta and she has hired him not as an assistant d.a. but some type of vendor and has named him as a special prosecutor. whatever that is. georgia law doesn't define that. but she has paid him and his law firm up to $7 hundred to $8 hundred thousand according to public records and this same special prosecutor set a solicitation for criminal

defense services to a number of these co-defendants. they are filing motions saying that the d.a.'s office needs to reined in and perhaps the special prosecutor needs to be admonished or removed. you can't prosecute and defend in the same court. >> bill: thank you for your time. is this report stronger or weaker than you perhaps expected? >> i'm still digesting it. i don't find it to be particularly strong. other people might read it and say well they are citing this statute and that statute and they are painting people in the very worst possible light. a lot of that is just sort of puf puffery. we see this sometimes when prosecutors want to beef up their justification for something. they help write these reports

and make them appear more strong than they actually are. i think some of this is a little overstatement and honestly, she didn't need to do this at all. she could have used the criminal grand jury to start with. so this is something that gives her some type of legal or political cover for bringing these massive indictments that she did. >> bill: thank you for your expertise and your knowledge in fulton county. >> dana: shannon bream is back with us. this time on this topic. great to have you rejoin our program. what do you make of all this? it shows us how wide ranging this was. they heard from 75 witnesses. we know there have been many more. that's just the special grand jury that did the first pitch. they wanted more than 30 people including former senators, current senators potentially indicted in this case and talk about towards the end of the report they think a lot of people committed perjury when they came to the grand jury to talk to them.

we remember that jury foreperson doing a media blitz. the excitement she felt. she wanted to swear in president trump and ask him questions. at the end of this they do acknowledge the special grand jury, we recognized and admitted we think all indictments need to go forward but defer to the attorney here and making those final calls, what she did. to see so many other bold face names and sitting member of congress shows how broadly the net was cast and months long investigation by the special grand jury. >> dana: always on top of it with the legal analysis. we'll continue to follow the story as we get reaction from those on the list to be indicted but not ultimately invited. >> bill: double duty for bream. hurricane lee is picking up extreme speed and intensifying

into a category 5 storm. here comes another one. close to 160 miles-an-hour winds. the storm is churning through the atlantic right now and through fox news today. fox weather's janice dean has the forecast. >> a lot woke up this morning to say hurricane lee could come to the northeast and devastate new york. i don't think that will happen. we have to pay attention. that's the headline. this is a powerful hurricane cat category 5. some of the modeling showing it will intensify over the next 12 to 24 hours. this is the latest track. we get new information at 11:00 a.m. hurricane hunters are out investigating the storm. as we go out to wednesday of next week, there is uncertainty. here is what we know. the storm will safely move north of caribbean islands. they don't need a category 5

moving in. it won't hit the southeast coast of the u.s. but the northeast needs to pay attention. do i think it will be a category 5 moving into new york city? no. we have some hurricane models showing a storm, maybe a category 1 or a tropical system coming chose to the shoreline. we'll feel indirect impact from lee. what will lee look like? it won't be a category 5 but we still have to pay attention. none of the forecast models are showing a direct hit to new york city or boston. we can't rule out some damaging impacts within the next 7 to 10 days. my rule. anything past five days is hard to forecast. we'll feel the impacts of high waves, rough surf. rip currents along the east coast next week. we'll keep you up to date. we aren't going to predict the

big scary thing moving into new york city. everyone in the northeast and new england pay attention to fox weather and we'll keep you up to date. back to you. >> dana: janice dean. >> flings it across his body. the lions have it at the 30. >> bill: your great nightmare is over. the nfl is back. the lions beat the chiefs last night. hello ladies. so we're off and running. thought we would have a little fun. here is what we want to do. we want to do the best super bowl odds at the end of this year. the chiefs are number one and already have a loss. eagles two, bills, 49ers, bengals. charlie, who do you think will be in the super bowl?

>> i think we'll run it back to last year, a repeat chiefs/eagles. despite what we saw last night we can't count out the chiefs yet. they didn't have kelsey on the field. patrick mahomes favorite or chris jones their pass rusher. we know the eagles come up with a chip on their shoulder. hertz had gotten the richest quarterback country in league history until yesterday. jim burrow surpassed it. their defense is fantastic. offense all their weapons. i think we'll see an interesting game. >> abby you are on the clock. >> i have to agree with charlie about the chiefs. you mentioned the two weapons they had. expand there. lions rushed for 1888 yards. chris jones would have been help foveally. they have to figure out his contrast.

travis kelsey comes in after that. they needed the loss. a little bit of fire. he played with a sprained ankle at the end of last season but he was embarrassed by the loss. that's important. they'll move that forward. >> a little bit of super bowl hangover. >> i think it's just what they needed. the hangover cure. >> bill: so i think the 9ers and bengals in the super bowl. great history in the match-up. i can't do that. then i would curse my own team. i went a little rogue. i'm taking the jacksonville jag ares and trevor lawrence to make the super bowl for the philadelphia eagles. really good quarterback. perino. >> dana: i went with the mascot. a bird fight. the eagles versus the ravens. >> i like that. >> dana: harold ford junior

helped me with that. >> that's the best sounding argument i ever heard. >> bill: the washington redskins are the commanders. there is a group wanting to bring the name back. new owners are saying no way. >> the word racist any time someone hears that word they jump to make a quick decision and turn off their listening to things around them. listen to the native americans is most important. ncai is made up of native american groups funded by soros. if you go to naga over the summer. 130,000 signatures to bring the name back. it seems like they are being ignored. they are called a fake group. they are tribal enrolled members across tribes from the u.s. just to take a step back and give it back to the native americans. too many people are being ignored. >> that's not going to happen. they shut down the idea of the

name coming back. it takes a lot of effort to change the name of a franchise. they've shut down that idea but it is unfortunate. what we learn it wasn't the actual fans who were screaming and yelling for the name redskins to go away. they are the ones learning are in support of it. it's the left funded agencies. soros backed that were the ones that were trying to get the name changes. erasing culture like science, literature, meaning of what it means to be a woman. a lot of things we're losing in society now. >> bill: i like this lightning round. for dana and me this is our favorite story of the day. u.s. open last night. guy glues his feet to the floor and holds things up for 45 minutes. abby, quick thought. >> this is not anything new. there have been climate protestors at wimbledon at city open. when you have glue your feet to the ground, people just talk about that. there is also the guy in london who lit his arm on fire.

all you talk about is the guy but not climate change. >> dana: how did they get to the u.s. open? >> they used fossil fuels, just saying. they could have donated that money. >> dana: i think they need consequences. something needs to happen because these players deserve better and they were very gracious last night. i would not have been and i am not. harris is coming up next. >> bill: thank you. here is harris, bye-bye. >> harris: fox news alert. there is no ignoring it. americans see it. they don't like it. and they say it's a problem. president biden's relationship with his son, hunter, and legal cases are just too much. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." new polling shows 61% say they believe joe biden was involved in his son, hunter's, business dealings while serving as vice president. remember the preside
