5:02 am
>> steve: as soon as hunter biden goes by, you will ask questions and he will turn and answer thoroughly, is that the plan? >> i think he will sit down and talk with us for about an hour. no, just kidding. we know hunter biden will be walking through this door before 10:00, that is when this deposition begins. it is going to be under oath, a transcript will be released. will he sit down in front of camera and give testimony. he's offered that in the past. james comer and jim jordan that are overseeing this probe want to do this behind the scenes first, that is the way they want to handle this impeachment before they do anything on camera. it is combination of republican efforts to look into impeachment inquiry they started several months ago. this is not hunter biden's first crack at deposition on capitol hill. he was supposed to be inside a
5:03 am
hearing room for deposition in december. hunter's team is hoping this recent arrest of former fbi informant smirnoff will help his cause, he is currently behind bars in los angeles, he was an fbi informant, reportedly making six figures. but he was charged two weeks ago by david weiss for lying about
5:04 am
hunter biden and joe biden receiving money from ukrainians. republicans say that was a small part of the impeachment probe. we expect this to go well into the evening. >> steve: thank you very much. >> brian: use that i'm indicted, i don't want to get in trouble. >> steve: whichen means he'll take the fifth amendment. >> ainsley: there will be a transcript released. >> steve: it is 7:03 in texas and we have a wildfire alert that is disturbing. six major wildfires in texas and oklahoma, scorching 370,000 acres, bigger than the city of los angeles. >> brian: governor abbott issuing evacuation orders, we spoke to fritch, texas earlier.
5:05 am
there are hot spots everywhere. we are watching close. we did have a lot in the hundreds on the south side of the community. our firefighters worked with public works going house to house it seems like every small city, everybody responding to fires. >> ainsley: several agencies working to contain the fires. scary images, images of cattle running for their lives with fire behind them, people driving. you have seen the video, you can barely see it. how do you know which direction to go? >> brian: there is some communication, with the sun up, we find out what they do today. bring in aaron o'connor. aaron, great to see you.
5:06 am
the sun is up, what is most learned moment for you? >> aaron, i was in texas on sunday and it was hot and dry. over the last 48 hours, now you have windy conditions. i was reading with smokehouse fire in the panhandle area, it burned 450 square miles and it is zero percent contained. is that what you understand at this point. >> smokehouse creek fire is estimated to be 300,000 acres and zero percent contained. with incredibly high wind speed over past day in a half, that fire has rapidly grown.
5:07 am
it is challenging to get equipment and firefighters into drainage and safety issues with how fast that fire is moving. >> steve: if it is drainage area, are there houses or other infrastructure? >> there is infrastructure at risk when that fire moves out of the drainage area, it will pick up speed. we have evacuations in place at this time. >> ainsley: what caused it? i know how southern towns are, we talk to etch00 other and share stories, what are stories you are hearing? >> the cause of the fires are under investigation and just word from the ground up there is that everybody is taking care of each other and it is certainly just trying times, trying to keep people safe and structures protected and make sure we get everybody out of harm's way.
5:08 am
>> brian: is the goal to contain or stop? what is possible? what is feasible? >> with conditions moderating, not expecting to have high wind speed we see over past couple days. those are favorable conditions, we have lower conditions than we've had. that is a good opportunity for firefighters to put in containment lines to slow progress of the fire and increase containment so when we get to the end of the week, dry conditions again, hopefully they have made progress that we have contained the fire to a certain area. >> steve: there is a nuclear facility that has been evacuated, is the fire threatening that area? >> the fire is moving in that
5:09 am
area. the plant has taken precaution to ensure personnel and equipment is safe and everything on site is safe and working in coordination with local officials and firefighters to ensure that is well protected. >> ainsley: where did everyone go? people that evacuated? there was a church housing people? >> yes, so very fortunate, small texas communities, everybody bans together, churches, local schools, other neighbors cities that have opened their doors to any evacuated residents. >> ainsley: i know that powers out in much the area, schools are closed, people had to leave their homes. there have been neighborhoods burned. so sad. thank you. >> steve: good luck. all right, let's switch to politics right now and race for the white house. former president donald trump defeated nikki haley in michigan
5:10 am
by more than 40 percentage points as he shifts his sights to super tuesday and beyond. >> ainsley: president biden won the democratic primary, 100,000 uncommitted votes is causing concern from the white house. progressive congresswoman rashida tlaib called out biden for support of israel. >> i was proud today to walk in and pull a democratic ballot and vote uncommitted. 74% of democrats in michigan support ceasefire, yet president biden is not hearing us. this is the way we can use democracy to say listen. >> ainsley: in just a few minutes, kevin mccarthy will join us to discuss this and more. >> brian: she seems like she's in congress to help palestinians. that is all she gets exercised about and that is her point of view.
5:11 am
meanwhile, democrats, the white house made a statement and apologized, they have regrets how they responded to the crisis. what do you regret? we regret supporting our lead ally? the idf tries to get people out of the way, not in anybody's interest in the western world for hamas to survive another day. they have had no choice. i have not seen joe biden design a military plan in a while but it is interesting to see if he'll abandon israel. >> steve: going back to michigan, we knew there was going to be a protest vote. that group was looking for 10% and got more than that. the white house, this morning, first thing they will talk about as soon as they figure out that security problem will be why did we lose so many college kids in
5:12 am
annarbor. uncommitted vote, a third voted uncommitted. joe biden needs as many kids as possible and right now they are saying, joe, not going for it. >> brian: union worker and leadership is for democrats, union workers aren't they are upset about the electric cars. >> ainsley: we have d.c., north dakota, super tuesday. curious to see if tudor dixon is right, this might be a trend. will this be a college town thing going forward? southern border, president biden expected to visit brownsville, texas tomorrow as migrant shifts west to california. >> brian: the migrant crisis. fox news learned only 12 have been apprehended in the city in the last 24 hours. why go to a place where there is no action if you want to find
5:13 am
out what the problem is. griff jenkins, why is he going there? >> griff: good question and good morning, where i am standing right here is camp monument, nine months ago in may of 2023, this was ground zero. there is one piece of tape i want to show you this, this is texas dps along the river at camp monument throwing rope to migrants, some of whom drown and
5:14 am
lost their lives because they couldn't stop it at the time. with miles of razor wire and reinforcement, that has stopped, gone from life saving to stopping the crossings along with coordination with border patrol. here is what was said about the difference in now and then. listen. >> because of our efforts, that is proven example of what the state of texas can do by securing border and having resources and placing physical barriers along the river. we are seeing dramatic increase in illegal crossings in arizona and san diego. >> griff: many tragic co consequences are still being felt. nothing more prominent than the tragic murder of laken riley, the georgia nursing student
5:15 am
killed at the hands of jose antonio ibarra. we are learning about many more. full screen of this el salvador ian migrant, accused of murdering, killing tragic death of a two-year-old infant. that does not stop. in maryland, go to louisiana and kenner, louisiana, honduran immigrant accused of raping at knifepoint a girl. it is quiet, no migrants looking to attempt to cross. i've learned in the last 72 hours, 11 migrants have been apprehended with criminal history. they were trying to come and were stopped. they are convicted of crimes including murder, rape and
5:16 am
trafficking of weapons and aggravate assault. that is the picture. interesting to see if president biden comes here. president biden is not the only vip visit, lawrence jones coming to the same location to broadcast from here tomorrow as we await to see where the president will go and who he will visit with. back to you. >> steve: thank you. >> brian: my sense, he will grandstand and say we had a deal and republicans walked away. if he wanted action, he would meet with the governor, how can we work it out or go to san diego and say what is with the buses? where are these people going? how do i help gavin newsom, put more gel on and how can i help out? you are the president, lead. >> steve: he's running and he will -- >> brian: he is the president. >> steve: he is and he will

5:19 am
intestinal scar tissue and that was because of previous surgery he had undergone and in 2021, few years ago, spent 10 days in the same hospital he was today after he underwent surgery to narrow part of the bowels. we are hearing well wishes in regard to his health. no specific elaboration from the vatican what happens moving forward. a lot of attention on the 87-year-old pope. guys, back to you. >> steve: hope it was a touch of the flu. i wonder if this pope says -- bring another pope and retire there. >> ainsley: we don't know the cause, she talked about the
5:20 am
hernia and removing scar tissue. >> steve: this sounds like probably symptoms of the flu. 8:19 in the east and you join us with a story from the west. >> carley: certainly do. quadruple murder suspect bryan kohberger due in idaho courtroom as judge is expected to decide where and when his trial will be held. early this year, kohberger's defense team requested change of venue, citing concerns over fair trial and asked for the trial to be pushed to next year. if convicted, kohberger could face the death penalty for 2022 murders of four university of idaho students. to a fox news alert, defense department and nasa monitoring a close pass between a u.s. spacecraft and a russian satellite. nasa says the spacecraft are expected to miss each other.

arguments? does it hurt the former president? >> i don't think it hurts. president trump is above that. to me, she is trying everything she can. her numbers keep going down. she lost her home state. we want nikki haley to be here. >> brian: she is a great candidate. >> she is and has a big future. the party has to unite. in michigan -- he only won michigan, biden by 159,000 votes, he has problems. uncommitted delegates are going to the convention, could repeat democratic convention in past chicago and have protest there. >> brian: if they don't like president biden's policy,

5:32 am
for me. that is what type of trouble this president is in. the youth is trying to 53 a vote, that is illegal. >> brian: looking for a shutdown now after the meeting of the four leaders yesterday in the white house? >> it is bifurcated on this, i don't know if that is the smart thing to do. the thing i would tell exhibit, as you continue on you are locking in nancy pelosi's policies. better to have this done. five years into next year and still talking about last fiscal year. >> brian: was he wrong not to demand a one-on-one? >> difficult job, when i was speaker, i would only negotiate with the president. if you bring the others in -- we
5:33 am
never would have gotten welfare reform. never pull back 20 billion of spending. schumer and hakeem jeffries would not agree to that. walk in strongly and negotiate with the president and use strength of majority. >> brian: you never should have been out of the job, one of the big regrets republicans have and i think democrats, too. straight ahead america's turn to gardening, hunting and extreme couponing to combat rising food cost. will and pete on the latest small town america as we go off the grid next. i try to put my arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans.

5:40 am
tennessee largely because of enduring covid. a lot of families did that. didn't want government controlling life. we are more prepared for sticker shock in the world. this is two days worth of eggs. we don't know what we're doing, we just keep them alive. i have neighbors -- we don't. i have neighbors that hunt and share meat in a cost-effective way. it is facebook groups out here about gardening, homesteading, chickens and cattle as opposed to new york where it is maybe learning mandarin for your two year old. middle america is good at making it work. >> ainsley: will, popular magazine in the south called garden and gun, i'm sure you have heard of it.
5:41 am
>> will: that is true, usually on the coffee table of multi million dollar mansions across georgia. i do get the sentiment. how are you keeping your chickens alive? how is your rooster doing? tell ainsley about the nine millimeter and shovel? >> i have two dead roosters, ratio should be 1-6-10, they were attacking the chickens. i did it as nicely as i could and we got two more and one was eaten by a hawk. i'm not very good at this. >> ainsley: will -- >> will: keep the chickens alive. >> ainsley: americans spent on food in 2022, highest in 33
5:42 am
years and restaurant prices have gone up. families have a no eat out policy and mom, nancy randall, they are freezing food and fishing for their food. >> will: 11% is the number that should stick out, 11% of disposable income dedicated to food, highest. our grandparents spent 16 to 18%. if the last 50 years, it was below 10%, that is good economy, reducing price of goods. if you saw that graph, there is a spike over last two to three years since covid, biggest indictment on bidenomics.
5:43 am
11% on food is nail in the coffin for bidenomics. you said your parents had a freezer full of venison. i know what you are talking about. i got a freezer full of duck i shot a year ago. we stock up and go buy chicken. i'm not saying we don't eat venison and duck, we have a freezer full, when will we have belly full of wild game. >> ainsley: our moms grew up, their parents were products of depression. my mom would open the refrigerator and cook depending what food we had. going back to the basics. thank you. wildfires consume 300,000 acres in texas and oklahoma. next guest was just evacuated.

5:49 am
us on the phone. >> you have lived in north texas your whole life, is this the worst fire you have seen in your life? >> it is. a couple years ago we had what we thought was the worst, this one topped it so far, as i understand. >> steve: in canadian, texas, a number of homes have been burned in every direction and i read that people are sheltering, they were told to get out of the house, but roads were closed. a bunch of people are in a church in your town. >> that is what i understand this morning, as well. we left as the county has been doing a good job directing people instructions of what to do and how to stay safe. evacuation route, many people
5:50 am
were not able to leave. >> steve: your husband did not leave with you, he is chief of staff at the hospital, right? >> that is correct. evacuation protocol means we get assisted people out quickly as possible. the hospital did a wonderful job making sure residents at the nursing home and assisted living were evacuated and patients at the hospital. captain going down with the ship, you want to stay until the very end. by the time he ran home to switch cars to meet us at the ranch south of town, the road had been closed and the fire was engulfing town around the outskirts in all directions. >> steve: i know you are worried about him and the house, you are at the ranch, the fire is
5:51 am
bearing down. in some cases, the fires are zero percent contained, right? >> that is my understanding, i have not heard an official report since 3:00 a.m. from a news station in amarillo, two hours from us. our county resources and city resources are gathering information to make an announcement later today. >> steve: i know you have a busy day. thank you for joining us to tell us what it is like in canadian, texas. thank you. >> thank you. keep us in your prayers. >> steve: we are awaiting hunter biden's arrival on capitol hill. sol wisenberg is standing by. check in with bill hemmer. >> bill: hopping morning coming up. hunter biden will be behind

>> brian: next hour hunter biden set to appear on the clear for a closed door deposition take he didn't think would happen in the impeachment probe of his dad. >> ainsley: after a key witness was charged with lying for ukrainian entities offering bribes to both hunter and his father. >> steve: a preview of what to expect. independent counsel sol wisenberg. good morning. the republicans have got a lot of questions. if hunter biden just simply doesn't want to do it all i has to do is going to read that card i'm under criminal indictment for taxes and guns, so i'm going to assert my fifth amendment rights. >> you are absolutely right. i'm sure if it were completely up to his very able attorney that's what he would do. i don't think abbe is totally in
5:58 am
control of his client. i don't know if that would happen or not. he would be justified in doing so. he is under indictment. this is very dangerous for hunter biden. a lot of things the committee is looking at have occurred outside the statute of limitations. the time in which the prosecution must bring a case. but now the statute of limitations will start running today for anything that he answers. so if you are a white collar attorney like i am and abbe that kind of thing scares you. >> ainsley: how does this alexander smirnov guy who admitted to lying about the ukrainian entities how does it play a role into the phone calls of joe biden calling his son with his business partners. he told peter doocy that he didn't have anything to do with his son. never talked about business. then the golf course picture comes out. how does what smirnov said
5:59 am
affect everything else? >> well, it doesn't affect much of what the committee is looking at. but look, any time that you talk about a particular witness and it turns out he lied to the f.b.i., that's never a good look. but it is not the fault of the committee that this person lied. i don't think it really affects a lot of the case. there are people trying to make it look that way but i don't think it will wash. >> brian: they have his dad calling in. appearing at a lunch. parachuteing into almost every major meeting. i know he is under indictment and has his own legal problems. but if he is your client, what do you say when asked the question you claimed to a chinese official my dad is sitting next to me. what does your client say? no comment? >> you already quoted the magic
6:00 am
words. what you might say is a variation of lois learner did. the i.r.s. employee under the hot seat. that was a public hearing and came in read a defiant statement saying she was innocent and refused to answer any other questions. and so, you know, you might see something like that here. this is very dangerous for him to answer these questions. >> steve: as you just said maybe lowell is not in complete control of him. sol, thank you for giving us a preview today. >> brian: look forward to your analysis afterwards. >> ainsley: public hearings will soon follow we're being told for hunter. >> brian: he is mr. surprise. we don't know what kind of surprise today. >> steve: sounds like he will sfwer the building in 30, 35 minutes. >> brian: check me out on radio. >> bill: hunter becomes a hu
