0 it's just work and listening to the divine assignment from the lord. that's all it is. i'm so grateful and you know i treasure your friendship, we celebrate each other, thank you, emily, i love you for that. >> we celebrate you and your accomplishments and cannot wait to read "power" magazine, and of course, read "faith still moves mountains," which it does. here is "america reports." >> john: emily, thank you. a surge in attacks against catholic churches, arson, broken windows, decapitated statues and satanic graffiti, some involve theft, the vast majority were destruction of property. >> sandra: does that trend reveal they are motivated by a hatred toward religion. a former priest will share his thoughts on that coming up. >> fbi was invited into the president's home. i'm not going to go beyond that. i'm just going to leave it there and i'm going to refer you to the white house counsel's office. i'm going to refer you to the white house counsel's office. i am. >> the president says he says this seriously and you cannot demonstrate how he takes it seriously. >> let me finish my answer. i'm going to refer you to the white house counsel's office. >> john: press secretary karine jean-pierre set to face fresh questions at the bottom of this hour and as the white house starts placing blame on the media, we are learning another member of a previous administration had classified papers in his home. sandra, it does not stop. >> sandra: another one of those breaking news afternoons. sandra smith in new york. former vice president mike pence informing congress he found documents at his home in carmel, indiana last week. the fbi was on-site to collect the documents on thursday, we are told. >> john: happening amid growing legal worries for president biden and questions about his political future. some democrats are starting to wonder if they might be better off with another candidate in 2024. >> sandra: florida republican congressman mike waltz, but first, aishah hasnie, the questions dating back to biden's time as a u.s. senator. >> john: and peter doocy, how is mike pence explaining the documents found in his home. >> he says a team of his lawyers found documents at home last week, more than a month after he said he didn't have any. >> i'm not hesitated to criticize the president when i think he was wrong. and clearly possessing classified documents in an unprotected area is not proper. >> that was him referring to the former president, donald trump. as for the current president, the word from lawyers here is they think a lot of the coverage of the document mess is intentionally overblown. >> i think that there's some of this in every presidency, you know, there are many people out there in the media who try to stir up controversy to get attention or time on camera. >> there is a new asterisk to white house claims they are fully cooperating with the investigation because their cooperation with congress is going to be limited. the counsel wrote a letter to the oversight committee chairman, part says we are reviewing the recent letters to accommodate legitimate, it seems the personal attorneys are running the show and the rest of the team is dealing with what the lawyers are telling them. >> when you found out the fbi had indicated more classified materials in wilmington, which four letter word did you use? [laughter] >> oh, my goodness, peter. >> she probably could not say on tv without us bleeping it, but for what it is worth with all the classified documents, where else they may have been located. we are waiting to hear back from the obama and clinton offices but we have spoken to somebody at the george w. bush office said they have never found any classified materials after 43 left office. they say that they turned everything classified and unclassified over to the national archives upon leaving office. john. >> john: love the fact you got a laugh out of her, peter. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: so we will get back to the white house as soon as that briefing is underway, and all this as the pence news breaks, there are still growing questions about how then senator biden managed to leave a room reserved for viewing classified documents with that material in tow. that is a very crucial question. congressional correspondent aishah hasnie is live on capitol hill. you just reached out to the national archives to find out if anyone else had mishandled classified documents. what did you learn? >> just yesterday i reached out to them personally, my colleague david spunt reached out to the doj to find out hey, has anyone in the last year, any elected official reported mishandling classified information, possibly discovering inadvertently misplaced information. we have not heard back from either agency just yet. in the meantime as you mentioned, sandra, here on the hill, senate democrats are telling us they have a lot of questions about this. not only are they telling us that they would never leave a scif, a secure room with the classified top secret documents but are trying to figure out how in the world then senator biden was able to do that. watch. >> the process we go through is so elaborate and careful to review documents i cannot understand how any individual senator can take possession of a classified document let alone remove it to another location. it's unthinkable. >> it's just unthinkable. well, it is now today by the way is the first senate intelligence committee briefing. we don't know yet, sandra, if senators are getting a national security assessment on the documents or not but the briefing is taking place inside one of those secure rooms, those scifs. meanwhile, republicans say it is disappointing that the senate is now part of this widening probe. >> every time i view classified information, it's in a classified setting. if you come to my house you'll find chic-fil-a bags all over the floor but no classified information. >> could others be digging through their drawers to double check, possibly. clearly vice president mike pence did that, again waiting for the national archives to get back to us on if anyone has contacted them. sandra. >> sandra: keep us posted on that as we follow the breaking news this afternoon. thank you very much. john. >> john: sandra, florida republican michael waltz, member of the house intelligence committee as well as a former green beret commander. the latest news that former vice president mike pence had a small number of, we think it's about 12, classified documents, apparently kept in a locked safe. it's not just former vice president and now president biden, this thing seems to be some sort of contagion. >> i was glad to hear peter say the bush transition went pretty well, or there's none been found there. i participated in that and have seen the process and i can tell you clearly the process is broken. and this transition, when you are going from one presidency to another and the president and the vice president have documents in their offices in their possession and we have to take a hard look at g.s.a. and how they and the intelligence community pack these documents, get them to wherever the president and vice president is going, that's one thing, john. but i think the difference with biden here is just how long this goes back. to what you are hearing in the senate, i could tell you we are in a room within a room within a room. i really want to see what type of documents were exposed here. i find it disturbing that the white house is not confirming that a review from the intelligence community is actually happening because at the end of the day it's not the number of documents, it's the quality of the documents. not the quantity. >> john: curious as to former vice president pence decided to look now as opposed to after the document scandal hit with former president trump at mar-a-lago. in terms of -- >> i'm thankful he had the fbi there and they took possession. and i think that's another difference that people are pointing to. with president biden there was a negotiation and they have not gone to his beach home where he stayed over the weekend. >> john: brings up the topic i wanted to discuss with you, whether there is an appearance of a double standard if not a double standard itself in the way it's being handled with the biden docu scandal as opposed to president biden. merrick garland insisted no double standard. >> we do not have different rules for democrats or republicans, different rules for the powerful or the powerless, different rules for the rich or for the poor. we apply the facts and the law in each case in a neutral, non-partisan manner. >> john: what do you say about that? >> i say that's a bunch of garbage. >> john: don't sugar coat it, tell us what you really think. >> the american people see right through that. the fact that a former president's home which had never happened in the history of the united states was raided by the fbi just two days before the fbi's own political blackout before a midterm election, number one, and number two, the biggest thing he's not addressing are all the leaks coming out of his department. where is the photo of all the documents in biden's home and biden's garage, you know, in his personal office, where are they all nicely laid out for that presentation and then all the leaks to the "new york times," the nuclear codes and the content of them. we have seen none of that when the comes to biden. but again, going back so far all of these decades, were they documents travelling on amtrak, i mean, were they shoved in his binder, loose. >> john: that's how senator biden traveled. >> they were out loose when sther always, always in a protect guarded bag and protected room and these are lives on the lines, sources and methods the documents could ex suppose. >> john: as journalist, we have the who, what, where, when, why questions we have not had answered. what are you looking for? >> i'm looking for what is the predicate for biden's lawyers, $1,000 an hour lawyers to suddenly start looking in his offices in the first place. >> john: and by the way, go to the penn biden center and see. >> five years after he left the vice president, and then number two, the quality of the intelligence. it does not matter if it was 200 or 12 or 5, that one key document that exposes a source or a method to our adversary and how many people were coming and going in and out of the biden center all these years. it's the timeline that i think is so different here. >> john: i'm not sure we will ever find out the answer to those questions. as you pointed out, unlike the trump-mar-a-lago raid, they are not leaking to the same degree on this. we'll see. >> as republicans in the house of representatives we will do our damnest to get to the bottom of it. >> john: and also congratulations. >> we are going to be getting after what the military is trained, back to being war fighters, the afghanistan investigation, and all of these issues with our intelligence community. >> john: we'll be watching closely. thanks for dropping by, ap approach -- appreciate it. >> sandra: mike pompeo, bret baier, and the white house press briefing is supposed to begin about 18 minutes from now, i don't know if you want another beer bet, but we anticipate half past the hour. >> john: what i should have bet you yesterday is when karine jean-pierre would take the podium. jennifer granholm was there throughout the rest of our hour, she did not show up until after the hour turned. next time i'll be more specific. >> sandra: i'll take you up on that later, john. california is gripped by yet another deadly mass shooting. latest violence happened just south of san francisco. happened in half moon bay, a gunman opened fire on groups of farmworkers at two locations. it all happened yesterday, killing at least seven people and wounding another. police say a 67-year-old man was taken into custody a short time later after he was found sitting in his car parked outside a sheriff's station. he is set to be arraigned tomorrow. it comes two days after the massacre in monterrey park where ten were killed at a dance studio. an 11th victim has since died and nine others remain in the hospital. >> john: houses of worship once revered, now a target of crime. hundreds of catholic churches struck with vandalism or destruction of property. what is the motive behind the malicious behavior? jonathan morris joins us next. >> sandra: and as the u.s. continues to supply much needed aid in the ukraine fight for freedom, the pressure is growing for our allies to do their part. how can the u.s. ensure other countries will step up? former secretary of state mike pompeo on that and brand-new reaction from the pence document reveal coming up. >> they could have evicted the russians from all of this terrain inside ukraine but we have to give them the opportunity to do it and the equipment to do it. ng. i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people that we needed and the people that have been here taking care of us. see if your business may qualify. go to getrefunds.com. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that. [woo hoo!] ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar and nutrients for immune health.
