7:00 am
do. this is a national problem. this is a bio security issue for the entire country. we can't simply say because the building is clean the issue has been solved. >> so the problem is, dana, there is no national registry for private labs. no regulation there to violate. also no tracking of these infectious diseases for the feds or anyone else to know what was happening here. the man is in jail as a flight risk and being held. back to you. >> dana: the federal government wants to put inspectors on small ships that are fishing for herring. okay. figure it out. >> bill: bizarre. >> dana: impeachment investigators are set to interview hunter biden's friend kevin morris today behind closed doors. he arrived on the hill a short time ago. not under a subpoena but likely asked about his financial relationship with the president's son.
7:01 am
the hollywood attorney has helped hunter financially by paying off his tax debts and buying hunter's artwork. there is this. the biden administration caught red-handed ordering banks to carry out a snooping operation using terms like trump and maga to gather information on millions of private customer transactions following the january 6th capitol riot. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. good morning. >> bill: brand-new hour starts now. bill hemmer, good morning at home. surveillance push by the treasury department targeting more than trump voters asking banks to identify transactions with key words such as small arms, dick's sporting goods and bass pro shops. congressman jim jordan telling fox business this is big brother at its worst. >> it was big banks looking and searching private transactions using key terms at the suggestion of the federal government to find out what you are buying, what you are spending your money on.
7:02 am
scary stuff. all it looks like without any warrant, without any legal process, they undertook this as a way to identify domestic vie lint extremists. >> bill: hillary vaughn is live on the hill. what did you find out? >> good morning, bill and dana. the house judiciary committee is out with details on how far the government was willing to go to try to track down anyone involved in january 6th. according to committee documents obtained by fox news digital, federal investigators asked banks to search customer transactions suggesting key terms that would raise red flags. those red flags terms like maga, trump, they warned that banks customers who purchased religious texts could also be a sign of a home grown violent extremist and wanted to know where customer shopped and which customers shopped at dick's sporting goods and bass pro shops pro filing the type of people they think could be persons of interest involved in
7:03 am
january 6th. >> at the request of government, you got banks searching private transactions of their customers for key search terms, key words. it looks like without any warrants, without any legal process. this is financial surveillance at its worst. >> the treasury department declined to comment. they want to bring in officials for depositions and issuing subpoenas for more information. even though january 6th triggered this investigation, a source familiar with the documents said there were no limitations or time frames put on the search for the banks looked. from january 5th and january 7th. the source says it has been used in other investigations not related to january 6th. >> bill: hillary vaughn is on it, fox business on the hill. thank you. >> i'm scared as heck.
7:04 am
which is why i'm traveling our country. there is an old saying there are only two ways to run for office, either without an opponent or scared. we've got a guy right now that the former president, running for office, openly saying that he promises to essentially be a dictator. >> dana: vice president harris terrified apparently by the process that biden's predecessor and ramping up the anti-trump rhetoric. jamie dimon says democrats have to stop demonizing americans who are trump supporters. >> i wish they would think more carefully when they talk about maga. maga, they are looking for people voting for trump and basically scapegoating them that you are like him and -- i don't think the voting for trump -- just take a step back and be honest. he was right about nato and immigration and grew the economy
7:05 am
quite well. >> dana: the founder of outkick, i imagine the biden administration didn't love his comments yesterday. >> yeah. and by the way, speaking of afraid, who does kamala harris think he is. trying to insure the name of his opponent is not allowed on a ballot? this is why i think the biden reelect campaign so far is falling flat on its face, guys. thanks for having me. it is because they only really have two stories. everything is failing. the border, crime, inflation is still not good, the cost of average goods is up massively since joe biden came into office as anybody who goes out to go shopping for groceries knows. they have two stories. they have january 6th as the threat against democracy, which
7:06 am
is hard to sell when you are trying again to put your chief political adversary in prison for the rest of his life and take him off the ballot. that's very anti-democratic in its most baseline level and simultaneously they also have this ridiculous idea, as you break down what is going to happen, of abortion, the idea somebody will show up on your doorstep if you are 15 or 16-year-old daughter or granddaughter gets pregnant and the government will get involved if her pregnancy. that's the entire biden pitch in a nutshell and they are going to have to sell it predicated on fear. when you are in power, the idea of the other person is terrifying is the only thing the biden administration has. i don't think it's resonating very well with the american public. >> bill: if you look at the question that joy behar asked, what will you do to stop the crazies? that's a reference to maga
7:07 am
supporter. jamie dimon's story was the big story of the day. he is a center left democrat. i don't know if he is. recently he gave kind words toward nikki haley. the comments he made in davos. we have another clip about respect in politics and american versus american being respectful of each other. >> i when think people should be a little more respectful of our fellow citizens. democrats have done a good job with deplorable hugging onto their bible, beer and guns. really? can we stop that stop? grow up and teach other people with respect and listen to them a little bit. i think the economy will effect. the negative talk about maga is going to hurt biden's election campaign. >> in one day you have that on cnbc and abc the question what will you do to stop the crazies? if the deplorables comment from 2016 hurt hillary clinton, i
7:08 am
guess you don't learn from eight years ago, clay. >> that's a great point. what i would say if you want to stop the crazy you would have to turn off the view. one of the craziest, dumbest shows that existed in the history of television and not a surprise kamala harris would go on there. yeah, look, i think the challenge that joe biden has, let's go away from what he is running for re-election by focusing on again abortion and january 6th. let's focus on what he sold the american public on when he ran for office in 2020. he was going to restore normalcy to the country. he was going to get everything back to where you didn't feel every moment as if -- they say the adults will be back in charge. does anybody feel like the adults are in charge? does anyone feel like their life is better today than it was four years ago? i think that's the ultimate challenge. if the focus is biden, if the
7:09 am
focus is biden, guys, he will lose. it may not even be that close in the toss-up states because no one is in a better place right now than they were when joe biden walked in to take office in january of 2021. >> dana: clay travis, great to have you this morning. great having you with us. see you soon. >> good stuff. big games this weekend, dana. >> dana: i know. >> bill: we'll talk about that on friday, right? this is where we were in new hampshire in 2020. joe biden was an easy winner by seven points over donald trump. four electoral votes went to the democrats. in 2016 he lost the state there but close just by a half point to hillary clinton. come on down here now to this is the voter breakdown from 2020, okay? talk about a lot of democrats, a lot of republicans and independents in the state of new hampshire there. college degree, biden an easy winner by 20 point.
7:10 am
independents, a lot there, by six points -- three points over joe biden. household income. if you made more than 100,000 a year in 2020 joe biden was your guy. what else do we have here? here are primary voters as it stands today. this is where we think the race might be, all right? this is the -- "boston globe" suffolk university. today 50% for trump. yesterday at 50%. watching the daily tracker. today nikki haley at 36. yesterday 34. desantis unchanged. we'll track it every day. there are all kinds of pollsters crawling through the hills and mountains of new hampshire as we speak. >> dana: one of the biggest stories yesterday with the abc news poll with biden's approval at 33%. so the polls showing him low are not outliers. this is something they're dealing with. jamie dimon was trying to give some hard truths and some
7:11 am
straight talk to the biden team via the media because i imagine that he thinks that they are not listening to him behind the scenes. >> bill: we looked at the poll, i thought 33 prove. >> dana: 18 on immigration. >> bill: not good enough. >> dana: stunning new numbers also on the fight against cancer. are we falling behind on prevention? dr. marc siegel will be here on that. plus this. >> bill: right now on the hill and second and final impeachment hearing against secretary mayorkas now underway. lawmakers hearing emotional testimony from victims of the border crisis. we'll bring you updates as they roll on on the hill. >> dana: democrat run city suing bus companies for dropping migrants on their doorstep. how one of those bus companies is now fighting back. >> we have arrested almost 300 people on the terrorist watch list. we're fighting back and we've

>> dana: boeing has another problem on its hand. another mal function and this time affecting the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken could not fly home from davos because his plane suffered a critical failure with an oxygen leak. the party was forced to deplain. the latest in a series of failures for the airplane -- >> bill: there are worse places to get stranded than davos. the american cancer society saying 2 million americans diagnosed with cancer this year, a record high.
7:18 am
the number of overall cancer deaths is dropping. fewer smoker, improved treatment contributing to that. the u.s. is getting better at treating cancer but falling behind on preventing it. let's bring in dr. marc siegel for more on this. nice to see you. throw some numbers your way. 2 million new cancer cases, as we mentioned. 600,000 cancer deaths. among the estimated new cases for men, about 30% prostate. 11% lung, 8% colon and rectum. women breast 32%, 12% lung and 7% colon and rectum. >> the headline is lung cancer we're doing a great job. we saved 4 million people since 1990 with all of these interventions, early screening and stopping smoking. that being key. not only have we prevented lung cancer a lot of the time. but we find it earlier now and
7:19 am
taking it out with a robot before it spreads. huge improve. in five year survival of lung cancer. the flip side. colon cancer in young people is on the way up. why is this? obesity. i think simply we're gaining weight as a society. we're more sedentary. our diets aren't as good. more preservatives in our food. smoking less but a problem with lack of exercise and obesity. all leads to inflammation which leads to cancer. another point is that our insurance system is focused on disease, not on prevention. in other words, the more people that are sick, the more people that they have that they can then give an intervention to and premiums go up. a disease-oriented system rather than health-oriented. >> bill: the number is not getting higher among younger americans because the dementect
7:20 am
is not higher. you are saying obesity for number americans. if younger americans are being tested more often, are doctors just finding it an an earlier age. >> we use 50 years old to start the colonoscopy and 40 to start mammograms. we're moving in that direction. hpv cancers, we have to be on the lookout for that. younger people don't want to be screened. they want to have fun and live their lives. we have to reorient our screening system towards more young people. >> dana: the other thing happening is the widening gap between life expectancy and the number of years you would spend in good health. we might be living longer, pull up some of these charts here. living longer but you might be living with more disease and your health isn't as good. >> it is shocking, dana. it comes out of the university of washington where i like to say maybe they can go mountain
7:21 am
climbing there. such an outdoor oriented place washington state. listen to the numbers. back in 2000, 20% of adults were living in multiple medical problems. now it's 30%. >> dana: wow. >> the average health span, how many years you got before you start having chronic illness that starts to affect your whole quality of life? it is 65 years old now. it was 65 years old in 2000 in 1990. but we're living to 77 but living -- limping along with more medical problems. we have more technology. i have more ability to treat you. frankly, i would rather you have the health span. people say i want to be alive as long as possible. but if you are not enjoying your life we have to focus more on that. >> bill: wow. do you study that health span quite a bit? >> absolutely. that's what we're interested in the most. my patients come in and say i'm not enjoying my life. let's take diabetes, for example. diabetes if it's under control
7:22 am
you can have a high quality of life. if it's not. nerves can be bothering you. not seeing as well. kidneys can be a problem. you end up on dialysis, we have to get our health in order in order to enjoy our lives. >> bill: it is all about quality of life. >> you bet it is. we talk about it all the time. again, number one is exercise. you have to get up and exercise. even if you just are walking. people don't realize walking is a great exercise. you have something on your apple watch or something that tells you that you walked five or ten miles a day if you can if you don't have chronic orthopedic problem. huge advantage even to walk. >> dana: good to get a dog. have to walk the dog. >> the dog is walking you. >> dana: peter is walking the dog and thank him for that. thank you for being here. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: show you this now. the funeral service is underway for the mother of former first lady melania trump. hundreds of mourners in

7:32 am
i wish -- we all wish -- the whole world we knew something. but there is nothing. not knowing anything about where they are, how they are, how -- how they are treated. it has been over 100 days that nothing has been given to them by any organization. nobody has even seen them. so it's heartbreaking. it is very difficult to live in this situation when you know you have family and you know nothing. it is something that i say i don't wish to anybody. >> bill: thank you for being there today. he is there with his 4-year-old brother and mom and dad. you were watching television and you recognized his mom right away from the video on
7:33 am
october 7th. the state of israel believes that all four are alive. including the 1-year-old we're looking at now. and you believe they are alive as well. >> we believe they are alive. we hope in our hearts that they are alive and we are praying and hoping and we -- you see, we know nothing so we have not given up that they are alive. we want them back. like we are saying, we will pray until the last day that we have in our hands one way or another. you were showing the video just before how the other boy was treated, the trauma that he is going through. can you imagine a 1-year-old, nine months old, what he is going through or the 4-year-old what he is going through? how can i imagine that a 1-year-old is celebrating his

7:35 am
countries showing support. millions and millions of people in the world. the problem here is we're dealing with hamas. hamas is not a country. they are a terrorist organization. and how do you deal with them? how do you deal -- it is not like they can go to a country and deal with a country, you are supposed to deal with hostages. we're dealing here with a terrorist organization. they are evil. they don't want to talk to anybody. they don't care who is talking to them. it is not a country we're dealing with here. we are dealing with mafia people. we call them that way because they do it for their own benefit and gain and for their own money. they are doing it for whatever reasons. it is not a country we're dealing here with. >> bill: how are you doing? you live here in new york, yeah? >> i do. >> bill: you have a lot of family members in israel. i admire how the families keep the issue out there.

7:44 am
is unconstitutional. kelly reports for fox business in the windy, cold city of chicago. >> bill: while some sanctuaries cities like chicago and new york have filed lawsuit against texas bus companies they're hitting the city of chicago right back because they have gotten their buses impounded for breaking ordinance guidelines like wynn transportation that says it is being discriminated against for doing business with the state of texas. the ordinance states unscheduled intercity buses shall not load/unload passengers within the city of chicago between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. monday through friday or any time on saturdays, sunday or holidays. these companies also need to give advance notice of their arrival because the ordinance is aimed at these out of state bus companies, wynn transportation
7:45 am
lawyer says it violates the commerce clause of the u.s. constitution and targets the passengers on those buses based on their migrant status and essentially national origin and violates the equal protection and due process clause. since it's a migration issue it makes it a federal issue. thus violating the supremacy clause. new york has filed 17 and chicago filing almost 100. >> i'm surprised that the city has passed an ordinance so clearly unconstitutional and aggressively pursuing enforcement of that ordinance by filing 95 different lawsuits against these bus companies. >> since the summer of 2022, abbott has sent 600 buses or so to the city of chicago. a little over 200 to the suburbs of chicago.

7:47 am
philadelphia, then it should do its job which is to actually help the homeless. instead they have all the dei programs and the city is focused on the green initiatives that don't actually serve the people who need it. this is an exact example of how the radical left has taken over cities and focused on things that don't actually help the poorest and most vulnerable. it is classic progressivism in action and it is rampant throughout philadelphia. >> dana: watching these videos out of philadelphia. we've seen them before. they're heartbreaking. part of the reason the philadelphia homeless populations increased so much in 2023 it is over 4700 people. it doesn't seem like it is getting any better. what happens if the shelters don't get paid? >> well dana, first of all, please, let's call them the unhoused, not homeless. a debate about that. what's the correct term to use. they are spending more time on that. a progressive mindset in philadelphia saying if people

want to live in tents on the streets who are we to tell them they can't? it is usual philadelphia corruption. the money is not getting where it needs to go. bureaucracy. we understand that. truly, jim kenny, the prior mayor and the district attorney krasner believe it is your street. you want to live there and camp out there and want a tent and you want to -- it's yours, use it. until that mindset changes we won't clean it up. the open air drug markets in kensington that the mayor cracked down on they believe it is a right. they wanted to have safe injection sights there so people could legally do heroin. i hope the new mayor can change the mindset. >> dana: do you think it is in an urban doom loop? >> that is what we're inching towards. we aren't right where san francisco is but we have an enormous problem and continue to drive people away from the city. drive businesses and job creators and middle class and the wealthy that are there to

pay for the services that people need. one of it is the refusal to recognize that homelessness is not really homelessness. the city of philadelphia a decade or so realized if we put them in housing that helps with homelessness. it does. there is a sub sector of homeless that is mental illness and drug addiction. instead of addressing that i go back to what is being focused on? dei initiatives and what is the race or ethnicity and all this is not actually helping the most vulnerable people, which i again go back to this is why the private sector is better to address and handle social ills and government consistently fails and i question progressives who want to help the disen franch i shall iced and poor. look at these policies. >> dana: what do you peg the chances for the new mayor's success to be? >> she has a battle. that's that the district

of 2022 at the request of uvalde's mayor. the headline or key takeaway right now from the report is that the most significant failure that morning was that the first 11 responding officers who got here to the scene within three minutes of the shooter entering the building should have immediately recognized the incident as an active shooter, which training suggests in those cases police are supposed to eliminate the threat immediately. advance toward the threat, try to save victims and protect lives. instead the d.o.j. report says that a 77-minute time frame elapsed before law enforcement finally breached the fourth grade classroom shooting and killing the suspect. the feds say the defact o incident commander, who at the time was the chief of uvalde school police department, deemed the situation as a barricaded subject. despite the fact that more gunshots were fired as more and
