9:00 am
alveda king, the niece of martin luther king, daughter of ad king, and two who understood peace in the nation, i think it will take time. griff jenkins and molly line to take you through the next two hours. that will do it here. be well. ♪ >> tyre nichols. >> say his name. >> tyre nichols. >> say his name. >> protesters in memphis, tennessee taking to the streets after the release of body cam footage from the arrest of tyre nichols. nichols was beaten by police officers following a traffic stop. he died in the hospital three days later. welcome to fox news live, i'm molly line. griff: hey, molly, great to be
9:01 am
with you, i'm griff jenkins. five of the police officers involved in that arrest have been charged with second degree murder and aggravated assault among other crimes. we have fox team coverage on this with alexandria hoff in washington and charles watson in memphis. charles, let's kick things off with you in the brutal body cam footage. >> yeah, hey, good afternoon, griff and molly and in watching that footage, it absolutely appeared that tyre nichols as surprised at the level of aggression the memphis police officers had toward him during that violent january 7th traffic stop. from the start body cam video shows officers yank nichols aggressively out of his vehicle as the 29-year-old says he didn't do anything. he's thrown to the ground while officers continue to yell at him to get on the ground in a series of profanity-laced commands. a few moments later, you see police tase nichols as he manages to escape and run away and as some of the officers on
9:02 am
scene pursue him, you can hear one officer who remains behind wish harm on nichols. >> stomp (bleep), i hope they st stomp (bleep) chasing him. >> when officers do catch him, nichols ends up on the ground while officers restrain him, punch mimm and pepper spray him. all the while, the officers ever demanding he give them his hands as nichols desperately calls out for his mother. >> hey, hey bro. >> mom! mom! mom! >> now, even though in the video it appears officers have nichols restrained, the assault continues. we see officers kick him in the face like he's a football, one officers punches him in the face at least four times and another swats nichols with a baton before he collapses. eventually officers drag him and prop him up against the police car where he sits for
9:03 am
more than 20 minutes before he gets medical attention. meantime, some of the officers who have since been fired and charged with second degree murder can be heard saying nichols had his hand on one of their guns. >> look, we got him out of the car, hey, you good. swung, pow, almost hit me, reached for the gun slammed into the car, hit he had his hand on my gun. >> now, it's important to note during those confrontations we never hear any of the officers on that video say that nichols grabbed their gun. meantime, one of the attorney for one of the officers who is charged in the death of nichols, desmond mills, jr. says we urge caution in judging desmond mills' action. we're confident that the question whether desmond
9:04 am
crossed the lines that others crossed and whether he committed the charges, the resounding answer will be no. and molly, there were several other officers on the scene we've heard from officials here in memphis and shelby county d.a. who says that a lot of those officers on scene are also being investigated for their conduct, so we could possibly see more charges filed as this case continues to be investigated, guys. griff: and very difficult video to watch. charles watson live for us in memphis. >> excellent points by charles in looking ahead at this as it continues to unfold. the release of that footage sparking protests in cities across the nation, including in memphis where several dozen demonstrators marched along interstate 55 temporarily, temporarily shutting down traffic before the crowd continued onward. alexandria hoff joins us with more with a look at the demonstrations. >> the emotional displays we saw were indeed largely
9:05 am
peaceful and that's true in memphis where tyre nichols was beaten and died three days later. and they blocked tennessee and arkansas and gathered in front of the police station. no damage was reported. >> definitely not about race, this is about humanity. this is basic one-on-one humanity. and we need to be able to raise our voice to help the family raise their voice so we're out here tonight. we'll be out here to make sure that we're alleviating some of the pain that won't ever go away from this family, but he can share our voice. >> emotions did boil over in new york city where a handful of demonstrators were seen stomping police cars in times square and yelling burn it down. and some officers fired tear gas that disperse an out of control crowd that gathered at the police headquarters.
9:06 am
tyre nichols grew up in sacramento and relocated in memphis in 2020 and describes the 29-year-old hope you'll see him here, a joyful person, father to a four-year-old boy. no evident of any criminal record and his mom called him near perfect and spoke about what he was doing before being stopped by police on january 7th. he was on his way home. he goes to shelby farm every weekend to watch the sunset. that's his passion. he either will go to skate board or, you know, but he was on his way home. >> he was on his way home, that's what he was telling police. and one of nichols' friends told him that he was considering be a police officer who change the system. >> thank you, griff. griff: we're joined by retired
9:07 am
n.y.p.d. inspector and attorney paul morrow. you did an amazing job last night on air with our friend jesse waters, in real-time reacting to the video as it was release last night on waters prime time. now, you've had time to reflect. what are your thoughts this morning? >> well, i think very clearly the tactics were way over the top. everybody is in agreement upon that. i think we're in the stage now we have to start to assess the reaction and one of the things i think worth bringing up is that we have to look larger than just the five officers fired and charged. you have to go to the top. at this point you have to start to say, is there something intrinsic to the memphis p.d. and that's not an aspersion on the men and women of memphis p.d. that are out there every day. i'm talking more bureaucratically. because police departments generally take on the persona and atmospherics of their overhead, right up to the top
9:08 am
of the chain. and at this point the fact that the police chief seems to be triangulating against these five officers without ever taking any responsibility, by saying, look, the buck stops with me, we have to do an assessment here, we have to look at the supervision, our training. i'm not hearing that and many of us in the police world would like to hear something more than i'm very upset from the top of the food chain in memphis p.d. griff: that's an interesting point you're making, paul. of course, we've heard that it was a good move on behalf of authorities there from chief davis, mayor strickland and the d.a., trying to get out there and officers were fired and charged way earlier in previous cases as we saw was the case in ferguson or baltimore or in minneapolis, but, specifically to your point about going larger than these five officers, is it your view then that this wasn't just five rogue officers, this is perhaps
9:09 am
larger, more pattern or policy-based? >> i mean, it's possible and i'll tell you why i sort of come to that is the fact that there are five of them together, right? this is a specialized unit, scorpion unit. generally these specialized units are very heavily supervised because it's recognized in police practice that they're sort of the point of the spear. n.y.p.d. has had units like this as well and still does and they're very heavily supervised. and five of them together, i don't know if that's their practice, but that's a lot of cops in one place with a specialized unit without a sergeant nearby. takes a while from what i see for any supervision to arrive. and you know, you have to say that it does seem like they felt very free to react the way they did. and you have to say to yourself has this happened in the past? why did it go the way they went? and you know, i think you have to look a little bit larger. griff: they clearly had little regard for knowing they were on
9:10 am
camera, multiple cameras there in the number of things that they crossed the line on in the video we see. i want to ask you though, before i run out of time. so where does this go? we know the doj is launching an investigation. where are we headed? >> yeah, so, unusually, doj has announced, looks like they're announcing a parallel investigation that is going to run contemporaneous here with the investigation going on at the state level. i view that as a complication at this point. generally the doj investigations come along as a follow-on and the problem with that is that what the doj investigations generally default to is a federal monitorship, which means that a law firm is put in charge of keeping an eye on the police department and reforming it and those monitorships never go away. and the law firm gets rich. there's nothing like municipal money, those checks come in regularly, they'll charge 5, 6, $700 an hour even after their
9:11 am
job is kind of done. i'm not pointing to anybody specifically, but i just know how this goes and i'm not sure at this point so early in the game it's necessarily helpful for the doj would be poking at this, particularly civil rights division. they have an investigation going on, these guys are criminally charged, let it play out. griff: let a play out. paul, thank you for your insight in joining us today. >> thank you. griff: molly. >> president biden is spending the day at camp david after saying he was outraged by the body cam footage of tyre nichols' arrest and comes as the national archives retire all former presidents and vice-presidents recheck their records for any classified material. lucas tomlinson is live from the white house with all of this. >> president biden had spoken to the nichols family, and he hadn't seen the video and now he has. my heart goes out to tyre
9:12 am
nichols' family and those across the country grieving this incredibly painful loss the footage will be leave people justifiably outraged. violence is never acceptable, it is illegal and destructive, i join mr. nichols' family in calling for peaceful protests. earlier this week, it was the former vice-president making news when mike pence said he also found classified documents in his own home in indiana. and he spoke about it, the first public comments since those classified documents were found. >> mistakes were made, but i take full responsibility for it and i've directed my counsel to work with the department of justice, with the archives, and with the congress on a full investigation and we're cooperating in that as we speak. >> president biden says he has no regrets over his handling of classified material when. one democrat on capitol hill says he should.
9:13 am
>> sure, you should have regrets. however anything happened, i don't think it's intentional and now we're finding out whoever had access, you know, the top eight in in-- in our government that get classified information differently than the rest of us. >> as you mentioned, molly, president biden is spending the weekend at camp david, the last two weekends he spent at his homes in delaware and for the last two weekends the white house said the classified material had been found, today no announcement we've not heard anything, we've reached out to the white house with no classified material today. >> all right, lucas tomlinson, thank you very much for that. for more on this, we're joined by the republican congressman from texas and representative of the committee, thank you for giving us time or your weekend. lucas tomlinson finishing up the report by saying no classified documents found today at any rate. and it's trickling out. the president said there's no "there" there, but in reality
9:14 am
there are a lot of documents found here, there, there, and your thoughts now as we see the vice-president, a former vice-president also finding documents. >> yeah, molly, thank you for having me, i spent 20 years in the navy as a cryptologist where i spent my entire day in a skiff handling sensitive material. and a lot of these things don't happinessly by accident, but when you take something out, but what it tells me, there's a culture that does not respect classified material and that's what worries me. it worries me that, you know, in the white house, in particular that there is just been this delusion of allowing things to happen. i think we need to circle the wagons and go okay, enough is enough, how do we make sure not only the president, but everyone within the administration is handling classified material in a sensitive manner and doing it correctly. >> certainly. i think that people would argue that having a classified documents next to a corvette or in a garage doesn't show a level of respect or concern for those documents that many people think is happening with
9:15 am
classified material. attorney general merrick garland and fbi director christopher wray were asked if the special counsels now working on the classified doc investigations in the trump and biden wheel house, would there be an effort to ultimately coordinate the work of the two special counsels, timing the final reports so that the public can have an apples to apples comparison at the end of this? because there's been a lot of talk from supporters or det detractors of either side this isn't as bad as that, and your view? >> my view, it was very clear when the administration went after president trump's document. it seemed to be a very political manner and everyone was outraged and here we are a few months later, and now all of a sudden the shoe is on the other foot and now, where is that outrage? to me, i look at it, doesn't matter who you are, whether you're the president of the united states or you're an entry level person that has
9:16 am
access to classified material, as a government we have to hold a high standard to our sensitive materials. so i'd like to see across the board approach and not just pick and choose who we go after and how we go after them. >> congressman, i want to get your thoughts, i want to take things to 0 memphis, to the horrific death of tyre nichols, the release of this video. congress could well be taking actions in the future regarding police reform. your thoughts on tyre nichols' death and the release of the videos and moving forward. >> yeah, to me, law enforcement officers have the toughest job in america, you have to get it right every single time and if you get it wrong once, not only does it impact you, it impacts everybody with a badge. you know, i watched those videos like many americans and it's disturbing, it's painful to watch. i told my friends and loved ones, don't watch it if you don't have to. to me it showed a very clear issue with the memphis police department, that they lack training and they have a
9:17 am
culture, a culture that was misguided. you know, this morning, i got on a call with the san antonio police department, the chief of the san antonio police department mcmanus and i asked him, i go, hey, the problems that we're seeing elsewhere, what are we doing here in texas to make sure we don't have those. he assured me in san antonio, we're doubling the amount of training for new officers, oftentimes you need about 600 officers to be an officer, and here in san antonio, you need 1300. once you're an officer making sure you're getting continuous training. i spent 20 years in the military, you train the way you fight, you fight the way you train and it has to be cultural thing and i look forward to seeing the facts, but it's a very, very disturbing videos and something has to be done. congress certainly has a role to play in this. >> all right, we shall see what that is as things move forward. representative tony gonzalez, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you, molly. griff: molly, we'll get reaction to all of this from the other side of the aisle with democratic congressman

9:22 am
now by democratic congressman and member of the house arms services committee, john garamendi. thank you for taking time to be on the set with us. your reaction? and the country watching the videos. i would share the reaction of the president, it's horrible. awful in every way. totally unprovoked apparently and you look at it, what if i was a young black man. i would be frightened, very, very frightened. i see a red light behind me my blood pressure would go up and i would be frightened. this has got to stop and we actually passed legislation out of the house of representatives last december that would have provided many of the things that my colleague had talked about, training, stature of the officers, certain criteria, also, a list of bad actors, bad policemen across the nation that don't go from one agency to the other. and i also would like to see
9:23 am
civilian review boards, so that there's an accounting available for the public. if there's something as route ray gus as this. griff: it sounds like you agree with congressman gonzalez that there's a role for congress to play in the wake of this? >> absolutely. we did pass what we called the george floyd act last year. it provided money for police departments, but set out a series of criteria, training programs and the like. unfortunately, the senate with its filibuster couldn't muster the 10 votes. and mr. gonzalez, if he's interested, we could work with him and revamp it and move forward. griff: there you go, bipartisan offer right there. >> there you go. griff: let me shift gears back to the documents as molly was talking with congressman gonzalez. the white house says there was no "there" there. and now we know there was a
9:24 am
"there" there. and an embarrassment, and a special counsel looking into the former president and the current president. should both be held accountable? >> we all should be held accountable. i get documents, just two days ago another classified hearing, so i see these. we leave them behind. but it's possible for any one of us to pick it up and put it in our pocket without thinking about it, but we have to be very cautious. again, mr. gonzalez was quite correct, that there is something that's really important. there's another piece to this and we need to pay attention to it, also, i think there are several million classified documents and the classification of documents is far too easy, and things that should never be classified that are basically open source and available, really, to the general public, they're classified for us, but not out in the world. so we really need to go back
9:25 am
and be very careful what actually needs to be classified. griff: just very quickly because here in washington journalist's brains turn to election cycles. 2024, former president trump announced he's on the complain trail for the first time today and we anticipate that in march or late february we could get an announcement from president biden for reelection. should, depending on the outcome of the special counsels, should either be disqualified from running for president if they're found guilty of the document tampering? >> well, you went through several things there. yes, investigations are underway. there's a significant difference between the trump, biden, and pence situation. and the president and vice-president turned them over, and trump did not. all three had classified documents, a moment ago you saw
9:26 am
in your report, every vice-president, every past president, go back through your dew points and look for these classified. good. what will it have to do with the next election? we'll see. clearly if there's a felony conviction, that would certainly be disqualifying for whom ever. griff: all right, we've got to leave it there. i wanted to sneak in a little bit of ukraine, tanks headed over there. we'll take that up next time. thank you, congressman john garamendi. all right. molly: despite border officials saying they're overrun and overwhelmed by the ongoing migrant crisis, the biden administration is touting the success of some policies put in place a few weeks ago, and claiming credit for decline in illegal crossings this month. matt finn is live at our southern border looking at the situation on the ground in eagle pass, texas. to you. >> molly, the biden administration says there's
9:27 am
been a 97% plummet in the weekly average of migrant encounters here at the southern border, but they're only including four countries, cuba, venezuela, nicaragua and haiti, that's four countries out of the 140 plus that we know cross here in the southern border and the backdrop to any dip in a weekly average is that the u.s. government reports last month there were 251,000 migrant encounters here at the southern border, that's the highest number ever in a single month. and it does not include the tens of thousands of got-aways. and here at the southern border, we did see a slower week this past week, we're told that historically january and february are slower months so it will be interesting to see how the coming months and the springtime months compare to december, last month, that was a record high. and i talked to dps on the ground and they're on the front lines, you watch our coverage and the high speed chases and pursuing the illegal migrants.
9:28 am
while there might be a dip in the weekly average they're seeing a consistent amount of illegal activity, including drug busts, human smuggling and these high speed chases and all week long here at the border in the early morning hours and in the evening hours, it was cold. the temperatures were in the 30's and 40's and yet we consistently see adults carrying very young children in the rio grande river, young children shivering and whimpering, waiting to be processed by border patrol. the mayor pro tem, who is a democrat, she tells us she does have concern for the children she sees being brought into this town and agents will tell you as well, the texas dps and border patrol agents will tell there is concern when the young children brought up, where they end up. human trafficking and sex trafficking is a major concern, molly and we see a lot of children brought into the united states. molly: absolutely, still big num

♪ l nn? >> florida governor ron deand tis facing backlash on the college board's african-american studies course. >> in the state of florida, our standards don't prevent they require teaching black history. the issue is we've good guidelines and standards in florida, we want education and not indoctrination. >> by rejecting the african-american history pilot program, ron desantis has clearly demonstrated that he wants to dictate whose story does and doesn't belong. >> for more on this, mike gonzalez, angeles, and heritage
9:34 am
foundation, thank you for giving time on a saturday. and the question here, is whether or not we should be studying american history. you can't delve into american history without the building, sl slavery and civil rights. and this program, is it a wolf in sheep's clothing is that what the governor is contending? >> of course it is, and i think that ron desantis has struck a victory for the right of children to study african-american history that's free of a political program. we should all study, all children should study more fred dick douglas, harriet tubman, and deboise who i disagree with. we should be subjecting children to a political marxist program to change america and that's what african-american
9:35 am
studies pretends to do. teaches angela davis, bill hooks and these are marxists, bill hooks is not a literary figure, he wanted black women, and angela davis from the fbi most wanted list, she ran as vp on the communist party usa ticket and she thinks that communists are too conservative. and by the way, she says that african-american studies is a-- the intellectual arm of the revolution and black lives matter, the founders were trained by committed marxists who wanted to dismantle the united states, so, we shouldn't be allowing our children to become cannon fodder in the culture wars to dismantle the u.s. molly: some of those concerns you're raising the same concerns that the florida department of education raised, we just saw there in the graphics, some of the things they'd raised, but those pushing back against desantis' stand, on the stand the state is taking, including white
9:36 am
house spokesperson jean-pierre, and tweeting, when we censor classes and whitewash lesson plans we do them a disservice. your thoughts on the proponent of the class as it's designed are portraying desantis and the course itself. >> they're lying. karine jean-pierre is lying from the podium. and they have to teach black history, as right it should, the history of all americans. so when they say-- what they're doing, they're playing a word game, they're saying this this prevents the teaching of history. it does nothing of the sort. this ap, african-american studies, was an indoctrination of our youth into a marxist program to transform america. they thought that we're not going to notice.
9:37 am
desantis noticed. kudos to him and this is why he's a national figure that he is, and why he's getting the attention, nationally and why the left hates him. molly: desantis tweeted and he said that education is about the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of ideology, but more than 30,000 people signed this online petition and accuse tri, that desantis has been using black students as political pawns in outrage. is there some back and forth, some part of this topic that is about politics? >> look, many of the people who signed that petition are well-intentioned americans who have believed what these leftist leaders are saying to them. they want black history to be taught and who wouldn't? i do as well. we should be teaching more of it not less. we should know more about frederick douglas, we should know more about martin luther king's sermon on the mall, but a lot of people who signed
9:38 am
this, if i didn't know any better, yeah, absolutely i want black history to be taught. but this is not what this is about. don't forget, again, what angela davis said. african-american studies is the intellectual arm of the revolution. i ask your listeners do we want the revolution in this country? the answer clearly is not. molly: i guess the final thing is, what can parents do about this? >> i think that parents are really engaged, actually. i have traveled this country backwards and forwards going to over 60 cities in the last two and a half years. i think the sturdy institutions of civil society are rising up and saying, they're catching on to what's going on. the parents, the grandparents are saying, our children are being used as cannon fodder to transform america. these people love their children, they love america, they love the places they work. they're not going to let this stand in their way. so, i think that the more engaged read more about it, and

griff: joining us now in studio, ambassador to the united states. oksana markarova. madam ambassador, thank you for being here. i'd like to pick up where trey left off, there's a request now for fighter jets, f-16's. what can you tell us? >> we're discussing all capabilities with our partners and especially with the united states. for this past more than 11 months now, we have been effectively fighting in ukraine, but it's very difficult and the war is not yet over, and it's clear to us that in order to not only keep the line, but also liberate our territories, because again, it's about people, it's about ukrainians being tortured raped and killed on a daily basis everywhere and our cities being destroyed and the missiles attack everywhere in ukraine. so the more capabilities we can get and the faster and also integrate them all together it's a result warfare, the faster our defenders can liberate all of ukraine. griff: you mention liberate,
9:47 am
madam ambassador, and some say look, here we are almost a year and ukraine has been able to take back some cities, but haven't been able to fully expel russians from territories like eastern ukraine or crimea, for that matter. what is your reaction when you hear that? >> well, let's go back to 24th of february when a lot of people thought ukraine would not stand this fight for more than three days, and just to remind that russia attacked us in 2014, and that was after a long rule of russia-led financed corrupt, pro-russian government in ukraine. the past nine years we've made significant reforms. for the past nine years we've used all diplomatic tools to restore our territorial integrity and sovereignty and a not to allow them blitzkrieg and eliminated the eastern, and
9:48 am
liberated city of kherson, the only actually large city they've captured during the past 11 months before and yes, it is difficult. we are fighting with the army that calls itself the second largest army in the world. we are fighting with people who do not have any red lines or any moral boundaries. we see what they've done, and we see what they're doing on the battlefield as well, but i think, you know, regardless of how long it will take, and we hope it will take short -- not very long. it's not only existential for ukraine to win this fight because it's our homes and our people we're liberating, but it's existential for all of us who believe in freedom, democracy, who believe that in the 21st century the boundaries of independent peaceful country cannot be violated by the ou autocratic neighbor. griff: you mentioned timing and
9:49 am
i want to play a sound bite about general kirby about the tanks on the way and how long it's going to take, listen to thrjts ithis. >> i'm not going to predict a date certain. it's going to take many months. griff: and he says the leopard tanks could be sooner, but with the talk of a russian offensive beginning soon, in an earth ma of weeks, will the tanks get there in time? are you concerned about the delivery? >> timing of the essence and they have to work together. and the training start soon and leopard tanks have more than 12 countries discussing in this tank coalition. so we'll get some soon and train on those that we will integrate into our defense a little bit later, but we still need more of everything else, the fire power, all the armored vehicles, also air capabilities
9:50 am
and that we can get and air defense, let's not forget in addition to the battle on the ground in the east and south, russia is constantly shelling our peaceful cities with all kinds of missiles. so, the air defense still remains priority. griff: we'll see if that comes. we're just out of time. thank you for being here, i have to ask you. my sources tell me that in this shake-up, in the wake of the corruption scandals, our sources tell us that your name could be emerging as the next prime minister. >> i have a lot of work here in the united states, but with regard to the changes in ukraine, i have to tell you, you know, the freedom, democracy, accountability, transparency, this is what we're fighting for. this is how democracies operate so, no, we will have many more interviews with you here. griff: i look forward to having you back. ambassador markarova. thank you very much. molly. molly: israeli officials arresting more than 40 people in connection with the deadly shooting at a jerusalem
