and i would also -- i agree with brian fitzpatrick.f the warrant will give you the probable cause to try to understand what is going on here. and i think the american people deserve this. and i certainly think to rubio's point that the gang of eight should have been briefed and i believe that the relevant committees on the hill should have access to the documents. but most importantly, this affidavit. >> yeah. well, we will see. it sounds like it may take some time to get some of these answers. i want to talk to you about afghanistan. i've read your report. the state department says there are about 74,000 vulnerable afghans still stuck waiting for these visas to exit the country who worked with the united states government. your report says the state department knew going back well into the trump administration that it needed more staff, that it needed more resources to even begin to help get these people out, and that's before the chaos of the withdrawal. is that one of the prime sort of sins here that you see in terms of failure to p

. >>> we go now to pennsylvania republican congressman brian fit fitzpatrick.s us from philadelphia. congressman, good morning to you. i wonder, as a former agent you've seen the warrant as we all have. what does it indicate to you about a potential crime that was committed? >> yeah, thanks for having me. well, i think it can be summed up in one line, margaret. it was an unprecedented action that needs to be supported by unprecedented justification. part a was it unprecedented action? yes, we know that. this has never happened before in our country's history. to the second question, was there unprecedented justification, that's an open question and we know where to look, the affidavit of probable cause, the one document that remains under seal.se't havt information, encouraged all my colleagues on the left and the right to reserve judgment and not get ahead of yourself because we don't know what that document contains. it's going to answer a lot of questions. when we had the press conference on friday with my fellow telligence committee members, i telegraphed t

but you have folks like brian fitzpatrick of pennsylvania, former fbi agent, just saying that you can'tou know all the facts. folks like john katko talking about taking a deep breath. but that is not the norm or the majority of that point. i think the release of this search warrant is going to make it perilous for some republicans to continue to wrap themselves in the mantle of president trump didn't do anything wrong because it's pretty clear -- when you're talking about the potential violations of the espionage act and the highly secure nature, the top, top secret nature of some of the documents they were looking for and apparently retrieved, it shows you that it's just -- you can't -- you can't write this off as an abuse of power. these were serious potential violations of law here. >> i mean, david, look, the fbi has a history with, you know, under j. edgar hoover and the civil rights movement. but, have you ever seen anything like what is being said about the fbi now? certainly coming from republicans and just elected officials who -- i mean, rick scott talking about the gestapo. >

pennsylvania congressman brian fitzpatrick is weighing in, the only former fbi agent serving in congress. begin with mark meredith. what do we know, what can we expect to learn in this hearing? >> we know the hearing could be pivotal to decide how much if any additional information will be released in this controversial case. the former president announced he wants the affidavit released and if that happens, it would be a stunning turn of events. it would also give both him and the public a much better idea of where the government's investigation stands. on truth social, trump posted "in the interest of transparency, i call for the immediate release of the completely unredacted affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking break-in, also the judge on this case should recuse." now, the government has already filed a motion asking a judge to ensure this affidavit remains sealed. it argues if released it could compromise the investigation, and he is under investigation for possible obstruction and violation of the espionage act. several high profile lawmakers say they are frustrated co

earlier on cbs, former fbi agent and republican member of congress brian fitzpatrick was asked if a potential crime was committed? >> that remains open question and we know exactly where to look and that's the affidavit of probable cause, the one document that remains under seal. so because we don't have that information, i've encouraged all of my colleagues on the left and the right to reserve judgment and not get ahead of yourself because we don't know what the document contains. lucas: maryland republican hogan thinks the raid help it is former president. >> it was actually a win for donald trump, seem today motivate his base and people rush to go his defense and feeling as if he was being picked upon and martyred. lucas: the admission from hogan who doesn't think trump should run in 2024, kevin. kevin: very interesting, we will hear, i think i suspect a lot more on the story as the week unfolds because they still have the documents and, again, the feds would argue that they have every right to have these documents but if you're the legal team for the former president, you want those thing

representative brian fitzpatrick told reporters off camera that he wants his gop colleagues to be responsible and measured in how they're reacting. what were you hearing about how republicans could be changing their message, after seeing about what was in the warrant? >> former president trump doesn't seem too concerned. he just posted about recent campaign contributions, that's what he's focused on. but elected republicans had been on fox all morning and weak. calling it a witch hunt, calling it absurd, uncharted waters. saying the justice department should not be used for political whims. also, according to new political poll, half the respondents -- [inaudible] i spent time last weekend at cpac before mar-a-lago was searched by the fbi. these are people that believe trump can do no wrong. they're not gonna change their mind. they don't believe any investigation is gonna impact their belief that donald trump shouldn't be president in 2024. >> lindsey graham, other members of team trump are saying where is the affidavit? where is the affidavit? is that the probable cause statement? but we --

and those were saying, you know, wait a minute folks saying this is total abuse and folks like brian fitzpatrickr er fbi ag saying you can't cast judgement until you know the facts and talk about taking a deep breath. that's not the norm or majority but the release of this search warrant is going to make it perilous for some republicans to continue to wrap themselves in the mantle of president trump didn't do anything wrong. when you talk about the espionage about and the highly secure nature, the top, top secret nature of some of the documents they were looking for and apparently retrieved, it shows you that it's just you can't overlook here. >> there is a history of hoover and with civil rights movement but have you ever seen anything like what is being said about the fbi certainly coming from republicans and just elected officials who. >> the thing that's unusual about this, the republican party has always been the party -- >> the former president presented himself as a law and order person two weeks ago in washington in his return to d.c. >> yes, so that's what makes this unusual and dangero

brian fitzpatrick said that until we have all of the facts, everyone needs to calm down. >> that remainsopen question and we know exactly where to look and that is the affidavit of probable cause. the one document that remains under seal. because we don't have that information i have encouraged all my colleagues on the left and right to reserve judgment and not get ahead of yourself because we don't know what that document contains. >> regardless of when the people get some answers, a bipartisan group of senators want details immediately. including marco rubio and mark were both requesting a briefing on what the fbi found. that sounds reasonable. will anybody show their cards here? former trump advisory board member and risk advisor managing director jason meister is here. he is a fox news contributor. he is my friend. richard fowler. the foundation for economic education a writer and liberty activist, welcome back. great to have you. let jump right in with both feet jason, two things, the president leaned into it and said he wants his stuff back. he declassified everything that was that

now are not so clear, but it is the only way you can get a bill done if you go to, you know, brian fitzpatrick debbie dingell, et cetera, leaders in the house on either side that are willing to work with both sides of the aisle to get something done, versus just vote no, just vote yes, no matter what the bill is just to be aligned with your leadership who are going to want to demand 100%. >> let me ask you this, you see that we have a statistic on our screen now, 21 of 36 gop nominees for governor, denied the results of the 2020 election. you have others who won their primaries who are straight up election deniers in key states here. should voters be concerned there will be officials in positions of power in upcoming elections, particularly 2024, that have called upon by trump or someone else would actually act to overturn the election? should folks be concerned about that? >> yeah, i think -- i think -- i'm one that believes every ballot ought to count. they ought to be counted correctly. and if some election official or st statewide official or secretary of state has the authority to overtur

. >> republican congressman brian fitzpatrick is a former fbi agent. >> if we ever get to a point where we lose the faith of the public, it impacts all of us it impacts our national security >> we have new information on shiffer. he was in the navy for five years and had top secret clearance. and kayla, as you mentioned, he was on the fbi's radar after being at the insurrection. they were trying to find him for an interview but could not kayla. >> perry russom, thank you >>> actress anne heche is legally dead after a car crash last week. that according to her spokesperson today, her son homer issued a statement, writing in part, my brother atlas and i lost our mom. after six days of almost unbelievable emotional swings, i am left with a deep wordless sadness. hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what i like to imagine as her eternal freedom. heche crashed her car into a two-story home in los angeles. the house and her car burst into flames police reported heche did have drugs in her system at the time. after the crash, she was hospitalized with serious injuries, s

talking about what america's role in the rest of the world should be, when i look at people like brian fitzpatrickre doing things that strengthen our national security, these are some of the folks putting forward some ideas. and guess what? when we take back the house in 2022 and the economy gets worse, the public is going to be looking for republicans to have ideas on what we should be doing to deal with a recession and worsening inflation. and so this is, for me, i want to make sure we see conservativism grow for multiple election cycles and then we also got to get beyond debates like the 2020 election. that has already been litigated. joe biden won. donald trump lost. it was pretty clear. we need to be talking about how do we deal and operate in a dangerous world where you have iran close to having a nuclear weapon. you see terrorist organizations. there was a bombing in africa recently that killed a number of folks. these problems are still existing. if we want to make sure that this century stays an american century it is going to be about us putting forward good ideas. >> it's always been ki

. >> bill: on that, brian fitzpatrick out of pennsylvania said it is an unprecedented action, we canuld be followed and supported by unprecedented justification. now, think about what you just said. we waited last week for three days before we heard anything from the doj or fbi, and when they spoke, the a.g. took three minutes and no questions. to your point, if you take months to go through this, that would allow the issue to linger out there with a lot of people asking questions. and therefore -- it should be supported by more of an explanation. >> you know, at the center of the bill i think is two things. whether, as i suspect, the fbi and the national security agencies in washington basically wanted to get their hands on highly classified documents, get them out of that room at mar-a-lago, get them back to a secure place in washington. that, i think, would be one thing. the question that hangs over all this is whether the department of justice, merrick garland's department of justice is going through the documents with the intention of finding some sort of evidence of criminal be

. >> brian fitzpatrick is a congressman from pennsylvania, former f.b.i. agent.d such an unprecedented action it should be supported by unprecedented justification. but to date we have heard merrick garland talk for three minutes and clearly it's not good enough for you. >> that's right. i wrote a piece in usa today talking about the shrinking stature of merrick garland for this reason. this is not the first controversy that he seems absent without leave. he has had repeated opportunities to take modest steps to assure the public that the department is acting in an a political way. he has been a moderate most of his life but that's not the record that is coming out of the justice department and this is a good example. he can be more transparent here. no, it's not common for affidavits to be released early after a raid or in a civil setting or before charges are created. this is a criminal case. it is ongoing. i can understand the reluctance of the department of justice. but there is really demands here for a greater degree of responsiveness. you can release parts

and congressman brian fitzpatrick who is a republican from pennsylvania.nd is he also a former fbi special agent and a federal prosecutor, he wants -- he would like -- everybody would love to see the affidavit and says law enforcement should withhold judgment until they learn more and he is also urging all of his colleagues to understand the weight of their records and support law enforcement because so many supports of donald trump have used this opportunity to go against the fbi and that -- they are barking up the wrong tree. don't blame the fbi. if you have got a problem. it was the attorney general owho told the fbi to go get that stuff. >> brian: christopher wray would have pushed ba. i don't know guys to go in there i don't think it's the right thing to do. going to be in the line of fire. i think that if anyone fbi agents. pretty impressive. they don't get paid enough. you know, a few years ago they were asked to take on counter terror on 2001, they did incredible job. what they have done overseas and at home, working with new york city in particula
