8:01 pm
and breaking tonight, success is my vengeance, that from former president trump when he was asked about the perception that if he was elected again he would be for revenge against his opponents. senior national correspondent kevin corke has more on that and what trump had to say with his legal challenges. kevin good evening. >> reporter: plenty indeed my friend. evening to you. in a wide ranging town hall the former president covered an awful lot of ground including his ongoing legal dramas and the continued presidential run of south carolina governor nikki haley who he says actually wants to quit the race but doesn't know how. >> she's down by 30, 35 points, and everybody knows her. you're not supposed to lose your home state. shouldn't happen anyway and she's using it bigly. big. i mean -- i said bigly >> reporter: bigly. meantime the former president said his likely opponent in november, mr. biden, isn't all there despite having a compliant
8:02 pm
media attempt to hide his shortcomings. >> well, he's declined and there's no question about it but he was always sort of semi declined. if you go back 25 years -- no, he was not one of the smarter people. >> reporter: if ever. laura also asked the former president if he would be open to debating mr. biden anywhere, even if it meant going on cnn, for example. here's what he said about that. >> i'll do it right now on your show. i'll challenge him right now and we can do you, you can do anybody you want. i'll take anybody from cnn, which is doing very poorly in the ratings by the way, as you probably know. >> reporter: indeed. as for his massive fine in new york following a state fraud conviction which is under appeal, the former president said the case is, frankly, tantamount to organized election interference. he accused the judge and the ag of trying to damage him and hurt
8:03 pm
his election chances this november. finally as you pointed out trace on the topic of revenge a lot of people worried if he whips again he'll go after his former enemies. he said his best revenge is success trace. >> trace: it always is kevin corke live in dc. let's bring if princeton university lauren wright and the editor of restoring america for the washington examiner kaylee mcghee white. thank you both for coming on. it's a mading because he compared himself kaylee mcghee, you first, where he talked alexei navalny and how he shares similarities. watch. >> it's a form of navalny, it is a form of communism or fascism. >> a lot of people would have said i'm out. why are you staying in this? >> i can't because i want to make america great again. it's not great right now. >> trace: he's using it as a campaign slogan now, kaylee,
8:04 pm
because every time he talks about being targeted his numbers just keep going up. . right and of course i don't think it's a great comparison considering one is still alive and the other is not and the comparison really should end there hour he's making the point that democrats are going to seek to punish him by any means necessary. we've seen this in new york this week. democrats have realized if they can't beat trump in the polls then at the very least they're going to try to bankrupt and humiliate him and that's what's happening with their lawfare campaign. so he makes a valid point he is being politically percent executed however i think this comparison is a little too far. >> trace: kevin played a little bit of this lauren, about 15, 20 seconds ago but this is where the former president talked about the current president being in decline. >> well, he's, he's declined. and there's no question about it. but he was always sort of semi declined, if you go back 25 years -- no. but he was not one of the smarter people. he's tried to be president many times, four times at least that
8:05 pm
they know of, and all of a sudden when he's most diminished this is when he hit and he did it --. >> trace: they were given a gift by the special counsel here lauren because they will use this again and again until november of this year. >> yes. and i'm so glad kaylee started her answer the way she did. i absolutely agree if you're the former leader of the free world you have an obligation not to compare the president of the united states to a murderous dictator. but the point is, to the second clip, that it doesn't matter because the fact that trump is out there talking to people, taking questions from the audience, engaging with the anchors and questioners, is something the current commander in chief is not doing. and so i was just so struck by how low the bar was but, yes, i mean, trump should do this as often as possible because he's communicating with the public and the president is not. >> trace: yeah, respected analyst nate silver wrote this, lead me good you can katie because i don't have the paper in front of me.
8:06 pm
he is an helps forically unpopular incumbent, talking about joe biden, and the he would onest man to ever hold this office. we've reported on both of those realities extensively and the white house has been extremely upset about it. that's the new york times. let's go to you, because that was the publisher of the new york times kaylee mcghee white where the white house is very upset that they are writing this stuff about him. what do you think about that? >> it just shows that the white house has become completely dependent on the media, the leftist media do to have do its job for tell to sell biden to the american people. of course the media's still very forgiving of biden given his many gaffes and blunders but as soon as they point out the fact that he would be 86 years old if he completed a second temple. as soon as they point out his approval rating has stayed in the gutters, the biden campaign lashes out. in fact they had a meeting last month with the new york times which reportedly did not go well where the biden campaign vented their frustration that the new
8:07 pm
york times wasn't providing the usual glowing coverage. so here's the thing, if biden cannot sell himself to the american people, why should the media have to do it for him? >> trace: yeah. and finally back to you, lauren, because i was going to put up this sound bite or this quote from nate silver, nate silver very respected analyst where he talks about biden either needs to put up or he needs on shut up and the put up part is he has to go out and he's got to do interviews and he's got to start speaking to the media because they have to be able to tell whether he is, you know, cognitively capable. >> i don't think he can, and here's why. his communications team, the president that is, is not inept. these are very professional, experienced former campaign people, pr people, very serious communications operator, and they've clearly made the decision that putting him out there is so risky that it's worth the criticism to hide him.
8:08 pm
and, you know, compare them with, for instance, kamala harris's operation, which leaks all the time, like a sieve. and, so, yes, they have made this decision, they've considered it seriously and it's very striking because i think if they could they would and they're not. >> trace: it is striking, lauren white kaylee mcghee white thank you both. after withholding information about suspects for almost a week, we are now learning two adults are facing murder charges in kansas city in connection with last week's shooting at the chief's super bowl celebration but some things still being withheld. marianne rafferty's live with more on the brand new information we are getting. marianne good evening. >> reporter: good evening trace. kansas city prosecutors have announced they're filing multiple charges including second degree felony murder against suspects 22 year old lindell maze and 18 year old dominic miller. the second degree murder charges could bring a life sentence. both being held on $1 million bond while prosecutors would not say just how many shooters were involved, they did indicate it's
8:09 pm
likely more individuals could face charges. >> we seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day. every single one. so while we're not there yet on every single individual, we're going to get there. >> reporter: and prosecutors say miller and lindell mayse brann dished firearms following an argument after the rally. the two were hospitalized both with injuries and, according to prosecutors, it was miller's gun that struck and killed kansas city radio personality lisa lopez galvan. meantime a juvenile office is handling charges against those two minors already in custody. they face gun charges and resisting arrest. the pair have not been identified but could be charged as adults. trace. >> trace: marianne, thank you. let's bring in retired fbi special agent maureen o'connell and former fbi special agent nicole parker. you are the perfect people to talk to about this. jks county prosecutor marianne
8:10 pm
touched on a little bit now letting us know it's two adults being charged seaing the following here, let's listen to her one more time. >> while both adults are charged with murder, the evidence tells us that it was mr. miller's fear arm. mr. miller's firearm struck lisa lopez galven. that's just two individuals, and i think as we all stand here, this investigation is still very, very active and ongoing. >> trace: it's very active and ongoing, nicole parker, but, you know, it's interesting we have very little information. today we got some it's almost a week, first they were juveniles then they weren't and when the governor called him gangsters and thugs he was called a racist by the mayor. it's interesting how this trickled out throughout the week. why is that in your estimation? >> reporter: i believe it's because when you're conducting an investigation it's a very fluid situation and they're
8:11 pm
hesitant to release information initially. my understanding is that two minors were initially charged and, in the state of missouri, boy law they do not release the names of those individuals or any court records or affidavits related to them. and mid understanding is today there were two adults that were charged and because they are over the age of 17, 18 or older, you are aware of their names and more information is coming out. and, like she said, there will be more individuals that will be held accountable. this is a horrific thing to have a tragedy at a celebration for a super bowl and they must be held accountable. >> trace: there are some reports, maureen, they knew these adults were coming. they knew they were in the hospital they suffered gunshot wounds they were part of the shooting eyewitnesses pointed them right out. why wasn't that information released. is it part of the investigation, do they have the right to withhold that stuff or should this be made public. >> i do think they have the right to withhold that information and i will a tell you why. because if they're planning on, first of all marriage all the footage they have to go to to
8:12 pm
determine who in fact was with whom at what time. and also, if they're going to be warrants or role back warrants on different locations, they want to make sure there's a higher chance that they'll be able to, you know, retrieve weaponsen other evidence that will put them in jail for this. >> trace: stand by if you both would now, because we have breaking tonight some information, charges against former fbi informant alexander smirnoff that he lied to investigators about biden family business interest. now the special counsel in this case, david weiss also claims he has ties to russian intelligence and that those ties were, quote, involved in passing a i story about hunter biden that has been critical to congressional republicans efforts to investigate the first family. smirnoff has been released from custody on a gps monitoring system as he awaits trial. this is in las vegas. now, remember, this is the same guy, mind you, that the fbi paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to, and they said was a key
8:13 pm
confidential human source. in fact, just last summer, they refused to release a key document to congress saying that it would compromise this value source. back now to maureen o'connell and nicole parker. nicole to you first, james comer released a statement about smirnoff and it reads, and if we can put this on the screen it reads as nos comes, when asked about the committee about the confidence and the confidential human source the fbi told the committee the confidential human source was credible and trusted, going on to say, had worked with the fbi for over a decade, and had been paid six figures. this is a guy they loved. they wouldn't release the 1023 document because they thought it was going to compromise their relationship with him, and now, all of a sudden, he's a failed liar? it just doesn't stand like -- stand to the test. >> right. that's a problem for the fbi, right? because they put it out there, this is a very trustworthy source and they've been with us for over a decade and they had been paid in the six figure
8:14 pm
range. but we all know the information provided by sources is uncorroborated and unvetted until an investigator gets in there and actually investigates the information provided. this individual had been brought in to the fbi and specifically questioned and was warned, if you lie to federal agents, you will be charged and again title 18 us code 1001, i'm sure maureen and i charged many times lying to a federal agent is against the law and that is what this individual did. he continued to lie about false information he had previously provided to the fbi, that's not okay. my question is why didn't the fbi ever charge christopher steele for steele dossier. >> trace: right. >> was he ever charged? not that i'm aware of. >> trace: no. you go back and you think, okay, the fbi really messed up on that whole thing, and why was this time was this guy able to pull the, really the wool over their eyes for better part of years. i mean why didn't david weiss investigate this guy three years ago? why weren't these things looked at?
8:15 pm
how does the fbi just not know that its favorite confidential human source is lying to them? >> i'm not sure he was their favorite source, but i will say, having had many informants myself, that there is a rigorous process that goes into verifying this information that a source gives that he gets paid for. my question is, how did the russians know that this guy was such a trusted source because they just didn't target any, you know, joe blow off the street. they knew this guy was trusted. how did that happen? that's the part of this case that really has me intrigued because there's someone that's really vulnerable for -- to be bribed. >> trace: really is, one of those things where we are going to have to dig into this night after night because this has got a lot of unanswered questions to it. nicole parker, maureen o'connell, great to have you both on. thank you >> meantime president biden's brother james now set to answer lawmakers questions behind closed doors on capitol hill
8:16 pm
tomorrow about the alleged i don't of his brother's name for personal and professional gain. kevin corke back live with a preview of that testimony. kevin. >> reporter: trace, this is the first of a pair of high-profile testimonies that the panel will hear this month as part of its impeachment inquiry into the president himself. a good portion of wednesday's interview with james biden is expected to focus on the republicans' allegations that a series of loans between the brothers were part of a tangled web of payments that ultimately constituted a bribery scheme. investigators allege the president was deeply involved in family business dealings, including those involving his younger brother that were tainted by corruption and influence peddling that hinged on the biden name. specifically, gop lawmakers have highlighted a pair of checks that james biden paid his brother, one for 200,000, the other for 40 grand. at a time when joe biden was not serving in political office.
8:17 pm
now, for their part, the bidens are describing the checks tonight as loan repayments. the committee will hear more about that tomorrow, trace. >> trace: and so will we. kevin corke, live for us in dc. kevin thank you. let's bring in the former chief nominations conway for the senate judiciary committee mike davis along with former federal prosecuteer katie. thank you both for coming on. katie tony bobulinski we've all heard the name a thousand times right hunter's former business partner provided dozens of e-mails and texts and messages along with business contracts to congress. bobulinski said, the only reason any of these international business transactions took place with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the biden family was because joe biden was in high office. the biden family business was joe biden period. it seems compelling and damning at the same time. your thoughts on that, katie. >> absolutely.
8:18 pm
i think that it's very troubling that david weiss and others in the doj haven't been more interested in digging a little bit further into somebody's testimony who was there. now, certainly his credibility and his biases can be attacked but that information on its face is significantly troubling and obviously ties biden to a lot more involvement than he's ever conceded. >> trace: mike davis you kind of go back to that. he provided the e-mails he provided all the documents. not like he's just making it up out of thin air he has the texts. more, tony bobulinski said this, the big guy, it says ten held for h for the big guy. the h in the message was hunter biden and the big guy 100 percent is joe biden. the pig guy was joe biden. i mean, he's been ignored by the media, mike davis. the question here is, can he be ignored by the justice department, tony bobulinski's statements and evidence? >> well he can be ignored by the justice department because they
8:19 pm
ignored him since october of 2020 when he went to the fbi with this information. the justice department at the end of the trump administration, the corrupt fbi ignored him and the biden justice department, including david weiss, has been protecting the bidens for the last 3-plus years. so i don't expect the biden justice department to do anything this, and this is why the house republicans, their investigation with james comer and oversight committee is so critically important. >> trace: yeah, so james biden goes on the hill tomorrow, no. really testimony. he's being asked questions behind closed doors. certainly he can't lie to congress, katie but how important are the questions that he answers. how important is this to the republican's case? >> i think it's very important. i think that the republicans, and really anyone looking into the biden family business dealings, need to connect these dots. because if the allegation is bribery, i think they're half way there in terms of joe biden's involvement in the businesses. but when you're looking at the
8:20 pm
actual criminal statute you have to look at what official acts were influenced, and i think they need to draw those connections. but the money and where it came from and what it was form, nobody has affirmatively answered that yes. those are questions that need to be answered. >> trace: i wonder if you can compare and contrast for me, mike, if you would, how important one is james biden's question answering, not testimony, and two does the fbi informant, alexander smirnoff, does his line to the fbi allegedly play into this whole narrative? >> here's the problem with the biden family. they have $20 million-plus coming from foreign entities, foreign governments and foreign entities, to what seems like every biden family member except for the 6-year-old granddaughter who they finally claimed under political pressure. how do they explain 20-plus million dollars going to the bidens but for the fact that they're selling joe biden as the brand. this is an influence peddling
8:21 pm

8:28 pm
tried to steal his packages. matt finn live tracking the very latest on this matt good evening. >> reporter: good evening trace. we begin in new york where chaotic video shows a group of nypd officers struggling to arrest a man inside a migrant tent shelter on randall's island last week. fired up residents pelt these officers with backpacks, cushions and water bottles. police say they were called to this scene last week when an unidentified suspect got into a verbal fight with police and refused to leave forcing these officers to try to physically remove the suspect. he was ultimately arrested fortress passing. fortunately no police were hurt. police would not confirm if that suspect was in the country legally. also in new york, a 45-year-old amazon driver was charged by police after he tried to fight back after an alleged 26-year-old drunk illegal migrant exposed himself to the driver and tried to steal packages. the driver says he tried to get the suspect to stop but he didn't listen, so the driver hit
8:29 pm
the migrant in the head with an icy snowball. police responded and the driver ended up being charged with third degree assault. and in chicago, four suspects believed to be venezuelan migrants were arrested after allegedly strangling and robbing a man on a train over the we could, ranging in aiming from 18 to 22 years old. they listed their address as a migrant shelter in the city. in a statement chicago police say they cannot confirm the residency, latest stats say there's now 13,000 migrants in chicago shelters. >> trace: big number. sheriff great to have you on let's start with the amazon driver because as matt was saying, he was attacked. he said there was this migrant and he was, you know, lewd public behavior. they arrested him for that. he was drunk, he got charged with that. he was stealing packages, he got charged with that. and yet because the driver was trying to defend himself, the driver was also charged.
8:30 pm
and you wonder what advice to give people. do you defend yourself? can you not defend yourself? what do you this i about that sheriff? >> well, move out of places that don't let you defend yourself. i mean, that's ridiculous. if he had done that out in our counselity he would have gotten worse than an ice why i snowball to the head. that guy deserved he was pleasuring himself in lewd behavior and this guy defended himself. not long ago another amazon driver i think was assaulted with a knife. so this guy had every right to protect himself and this is what's happening in this country, anybody who tries to defend himself is becoming the suspect. >> trace: really is. i want to put up the pictures again of randall's island new york, they went to a call there and of course the police are involved again and kind of battling these illegal immigrants here and it's kind of a pattern here, you know, they go after cops in new york now because they think they can get away with it, but you go across the country sheriff and you see chicago where where a man is
8:31 pm
attacked by four venezuelan migrants on a train and then out to california and look what's happening out there. what amazes me is we keep hearing again and again about venn swalen gang members that are kind of making their presence known across the country. what's your thought about those people being here and really kind of running a in you can across the country? >> well, i don't want them to be here because they're here illegally, that's first and foremost and they should be scooped up one of them and sent back. take everyone in the shelter that was involved and send them back to the countries they came from. quickly the people thatter remaining will get the message and stop behaving like that. you're right the venn sexual answer coming here come from dog eat dog worlds where they're surviving and then come to america and bring that same behavior, unruly behavior no respect for law enforcement from their country to our country and we cannot tolerate it or this
8:32 pm
will continue. >> trace: it really will. i want to show exclusive pictures by our teams down at the border, this is in southern california, east san diego county where they came across the border, they came up over the hill and they came into the country. and sheriff, you look at the people that are coming in here and we have just realized, being told by the people who are down there now, that this is one of those things where you have these migrants coming from china, in fact, in just the past three days they have had more migrants come in from china than they have in the last year. it really is an astounding number and it's not just from china, it's from kazakhstan it's from all over. we have no idea who they are. we have no idea what their past record is. and yet these people, as you see them lined up will be sent off into the country to do pretty much whatever they want. >> yeah, this should be alarming. the majority military age men, coming like you said trace from all over the world. in this particular case they're coming from china.

what they could do. >> this is a public place but it is a city-owned public space as well, people coming and going from the airport transacting business at the airport. >> reporter: they enacted an ordinance to close it 24 hours a day seven days a week with violators facing potential arrest. drastic as that may sound the fine print allows exceptions for airport personnel ticketed passengers or those meeting or seeing them off. council members say it won't affect the typical air force visitors. >> no you're not banned, come down pick up grandma put her back on a flight. everyone is will can that is transacting business at the airport. >> reporter: some activists for homeless say the growing number across the country are a symptom of the communities they serve including a shortage of housing. >> the criminal arresting people, the airport's problem is not going to help the community's problem it's going to make the community's problem
8:35 pm
worse. >> reporter: atlanta officials say the city is working with local homeless providers to find housing to those in need but they say new airport policy is needed to allow police to keep the airport operating safely and efficiently. city officials say arrest is a last resort. the revised ordinance requires police to first ask suspected loiterers to explain why they're there, to inform them of the new restrictions, and then give them the opportunity to leave voluntarily. trace? >> trace: jonathan, thank you. coming up, can you name the three branches of government? because most americans cannot. in fact, the vast majority of americans have no clue on how the government basically works. the common sense department has thoughts on that. and still ahead, it's not every day you see this on your drive to work. and have you ever seen iceberg calving? the day's best viral videos are

>> you know, trace, there are many schools across the country that don't have a single student proficient in reading or math. so while 70% don't know basic civics it's very embarrassing but not surprising. they should be left focused on crt and dei and more on education. and if you remember vivek once proposed when running for president every high school student should be able to pass a civics test the same one immigrants have to take before they can vote. that's something i can get behind and perhaps we would have better more effective leaders right now. >> trace: so the state department kind of getting some pushback because they were against some of the terms and you had secretary of state antony blinken sending out memos saying they're preferred terms and term they don't really like so much. here's problematic terms, manpower, you guys, ladies and gentlemen, mother, father, son, daughter, husband, wife.

the preferred suggested terms, labor force, everyone, folks, you all, parent, child, spouse, and partner. and here is the state department's spokesperson being asked about these favorite, not so favorite terms. >> if you look at that 'em in 0 as i have done, it's a standard government practice to try to encourage people just to be respectful of others and use the terms with which others are comfortable and talk to people the way that they would like to be addressed and nothing more than that. >> trace: gillian the big question that was never asked today is don't we have bigger fish to fry? don't we have more important things going on in the world than whether you call somebody father or mother? >> trace, you are exactly right. i mean, it's awesome, right, they can't use the word manpower. they clearly have that behind them and this administration has proven time and again they are more woke than disney target and

bud light combined. like you said before i'm confident our state department can out pronoun the rest of the world but we could really use their focus elsewhere. unfortunately it wasn't too long ago that because of their failures in the afghanistan withdraw, we have 13 new gold star families. and that's the reality. yet blinken and the state department are really focused on the wrong things like not saying the word father and mother, which is absolutely ludicrous. >> trace: it is. i want to end on this, this is in massachusetts a basketball high school game, biological male transgender student ids as a girl accused of causing injuries to two other girls and the basketball game, if we can put this video up. the team, by the way, that had the to inform if it this game because it had two of the players hurt was actually leading the game but they had to forfeit because they didn't have the players and the players were getting hurt. it's one of those things where you can see kind of the ramifications of this type of policy jillian and a lot of people are pushing back against

this. >> and they should but honestly we had a six foot tall male with facial hair injuring young teen-age girls. and where are the fathers? where are the parents? as a parent myself i find it really shameful more people didn't stand up and fight for their daughters to protect their daughters appear this game should have been over before it ever started. i think our culture's in a position where we can no longer draw the line to where we stop with this delusion. we've affirmed too much when we don't know when to say this is too far and i think we've gone way past this is too far and i don't know how this he can walk it back. >> trace: jillian anderson great to have you on. thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: first up in tonight's viral videos interesting surprise for early morning commuters in pennsylvania, a horse galloping along a major highway. police finally corralling the horse with officers joking, hey philly hold your horses so we don't have to. next a real-life cat walk, pet owners show casing their furry
