$4 hundred thousand. >> wal-mart, say what you want. eliminated the college degree requirement. company after company after company, if you have the logos and put them up and viewers would go oh my god. to make $4 hundred thousand without a college degree today is not a fiction or story, it is a fact and people should feel better about knowing that, at least. >> brian: mike rowe, when you come here, when can we see your show on fox business? >> i have no idea. it was on in the elevator just now. i was in the elevator coming here and it was on. it's on fox business and fantastic how america works. >> brian: a chance to talk to me more on radio. >> you invite me on for ten minutes and i stay for two hours. it is going to happen again? >> brian: an hour. thank you for watching. see you tomorrow on behalf of carley and steve. >> bill: good morning. coming up later this hour the most powerful people in the tech
6:01 am
world anywhere converge on capitol hill and be there in person, not zoom. the high stakes hearing centers around our kids. how to prevent them from sexual exploitation online. we should see mark zuckerberg walk into the capitol at some point this hour. the counterparts out of x and tiktok, snapchat, discord will all follow. stay with us on that when it gets underway here. the chaos from the border fueling crime here in new york city. watch this video as it rolls. police say a mob of migrants jumped two officers in times square. they are seen on video punching and kicking the officers to the ground. they arrested five. at least four of them said to be released without bail and they are back in a shelter or somewhere as of this hour. good morning, everybody. a lot to get to on this. good morning, dana. how are you doing? >> dana: galling. your taxpayers dollars are not only paying for the salaries of the officers who deserve more but the hotel rooms and the
6:02 am
shelter for guys who just got off. we'll have more on that. this is dana perino, this is "america's newsroom." you might have assumed. this happened on saturday knifed in times square. the scene is close to several hotels used as shelters. police were trying to break up a crowd when the fighting erupted. >> bill: they argue it shows why every state in america is a border state. >> when president biden opened up the borders and allowed this influx to massively come into our country, whether it's chicago, whether it's denver or even the surrounding communities, we have created a crisis. >> dana: team fox coverage paul mauro is on deck. we begin with cb cotton in times square. >> good morning. nypd tells me it is looking for more suspects after two officers were knocked down, kicked and punched right here times square.
6:03 am
the men involved in the assault were migrants. check this out. nypd says the brawl happened as officers tried to disperse a rowdy crowd. a scuffle begins on the ground. the officers being kicked multiple times. one of them taking several blows to the head. nypd says two officers had minor injuries including one with cuts to the face. a total of five men ranging from 19 to 24 years old have been arrested on assault charges. four of the su67,000 remain in care. eric adams has called for more federal resources to manage the flow into the city. house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan called on the country get to grip on the migrant crisis. >> we were owe on pace to get to 12 million in the biden presidency. that's equivalent to the entire population of ohio, the seventh largest state. let's say time out. no more money can be used to
6:04 am
process or release into the country any new migrants. >> one of the men arrested in this most recent case was previously arrested twice for robbery. a police force tells me in one of the cases he pushed, punched and bit a retail store employee. back to you. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: paul mauro, former nypd and fox news contributor. good morning to you. no job, no money, what did you expect eventually, right? >> right. i had that post. the post that these guys were on at some point. a knew answer is they're probably breaking up the crowd. there is a rash of pick pockets around times square. new york city is sensitive to times square. like subways and central park. the metrics for safety of the city. it is a tourist draw and brings in revenue. they were probably breaking it up. when you see the big crowds like that. pick pockets work the crowds. i have to tell you according to
6:05 am
my sourcing the teams that are working pick pocket doing pick pockets in and around times square are venezuela migrants. they didn't learn that in america. so the talking point we've heard from republicans that venezuela has emptied its prisons and mental institutions and sent those inmates to america just as happened in 1980 as the boat lift in cuba looks to me to be accurate. you have organized teams who know how to do this stuff. use kids for distraction. they're good at it. cops know we have to break up the crowds to prevent this. i would bet that's what led to this entire thing. because nobody was seriously hurt under new york law they are only charging misdemeanors and they're all out. >> dana: why not deport them? >> good question for the current hearings going on in congress. no mechanism is in place for the local police in new york to refer to ice. if they just shut that down cold years ago.
6:06 am
a situation like this they won't be able to do it. >> dana: let me backtrack. when biden said that refugees putting it in quotes from venezuela get to stay, right? even if these are single men they will say we're from venezuela and we have a special status. >> they are claiming asylum. the three years to get a court date and this is why the most important of all the things in my estimation including the wall that the biden administration undid relative to the trump measures at the border, remain in mexico was the key. you wait three years. not a lot of proof and it won't work. they have to wait in mexico. mexico closed down their own southern border so these folks weren't coming up. that worked. >> bill: new york city leads the way next to the boston, then chicago, denver and we'll watch it. >> we have chicago, 47 have been arrested migrants since october as part of a retail theft ring.
6:07 am
quite organized. venezuelan sex traffickers branding women behind the ear in florida. that's a venezuelan crew. you have the u.n. funding this. a columbian teamworking the west village doing pick pockets. the cops know what's going on. they are ham strung by this migrant crisis but the laws here and the bail reform. >> what the union had said. attacks on police officers becoming an epidemic. a revolving door like this one. impossible for police officers to deal effectively with crime if the justice system can't or won't protect us when we do the work. since the spring of 2022, not even two years, you have 172,000 in new york city alone. in that group 67,000 have housing. 200 different city shelters. >> when you say to yourself why is it that i'm stepping over people on the street and why do the streets look so dirty? one of the ten either of broken
6:08 am
windows is that the orderly city feels safe. when people are nice, people behave. that simple. when you feel that nobody? charge, that's when the perps feel that vacuum and that's what they step into. you feel it on the subway. you feel there is nobody watching. that's again a nuance of what's going on in the stechlt it is undeniable. for those of us who live here you can feel the change over the last five to seven years, beginning with the deblasio administration. you've seen a deterioration, in the atmosphere of the city. it feels like a lawless place that anything can happen. that randomness is what keeps you on edge. makes people very nervous. >> bill: well stated. thank you, paul. nice to see you today. >> dana: also this. historic -- mayorkas impeachment
6:09 am
articles advancing to the floor after a marathon session overnight. house homeland security voted on party lines. >> week not allow fentanyl to flood across our border or criminals to waltz in undeterred. we cannot allow a cabinet secretary with no regard for the separation of powers or the rule of law to remain in office. >> the impeachment of him is a baseless, political stunt by extreme maga republicans. >> a raging fire is happening at the border. >> you just want to make the allegations and concoct some crazy breach of public trust which does not exist. >> dana: as republicans try to hold mayorkas accountable for the migrant crisis president biden saying he has done all he can to fix the mess. capturing his inaction with the headline. man with no plan. >> bill: speaking of plans, or lack of any. president biden is holding iran responsible in the deaths of three u.s. soldiers and made up his mind how america will
6:10 am
respond what he said yesterday. now comes late word a key iranian-backed militia in iraq will suspend attacks on u.s. forces. who to believe in this. a follow up today from the pentagon. >> good morning. the hezbollah brigades has posted it is going to suspend attacks against u.s. assets in iraq and syria, at least that's the claim they are making coming one day after another iranian-backed militia said the same thing. there have been nearly 170 of these types of attacks across the region since mid-october and four since the dead lie drone strike this weekend leading the pentagon to say promises from these militias to de-escalate are coming too little too late. they are looking at whether it came from iraq or syria that killed our soldiers. >> we will respond in a time and place of our choosing.
6:11 am
again, not going to go into details of what that could look like other than the fact that there will be consequences. >> the three soldiers killed in the attack sergeant sanders and sergeant moffet, both promoted to sergeant after death and sergeant william rivers. the white house says president biden and defense secretary austin will attend the transfer at dover of the three soldiers. 37 troops injured. one is in critical condition. attacks from iranian-backed forces continue in the region. the houthis have fired another cruise missile from yemen into the red sea. centcom also says the destroyer u.s.s. gravely shot it down. >> bill: rich edson from the pentagon on that. we'll see in time. evidence will show us on the ground whether or not they are living by their word, right?
6:12 am
iran is trying to rein some of this in not to increase the conflict. >> dana: if they still have enough power over them. do the houthis think they have enough to go out on their own? >> bill: the most powerful people in the world of technology will appear later this hour before a senate compat committee on the hill and we're watching. how to protect your kids from social media. mark zuck and others witnesses. >> dana: drug smugglers taking advantage of the border crisis. we will talk to a former cartel member and why he says the criminal enterprises are smarter than we give them credit for. >> bill: mothers speaking out against a bill that they say would cost more lives. >> we have 51 city council members. we have five borough presidents. what are you doing and what are you bringing into the community

6:18 am
>> bill: we're monitoring the big tech ceos arriving in washington facing tough questions on the senate judiciary committee on the failures to protect children from online threats. aishah hosni live on the hill with the latest from there and some senators have offered a new bill to pass. apparently richard blumenthal will say will you sign up for this? and more. aishah, good morning. >> exactly. good morning to you, bill. you are right. this will get very, very sense here. i'm standing outside this 24-hour entrance into the dirkson building where we expect the ceos to walk in. i want to make a point. interestingly enough the one ceo not here is new ceo of youtube.
6:19 am
that comes when just last night, bill, there was a graphic video of a man who had allegedly decapitated his father that was sitting on youtube for six hours before it was finally taken down. that is creating waves as well. that might come up in this hearing. today we're going to see the ceos of several of the big tech companies, meta , tiktok, x, snap and discord. you will expect these executives to tout their new tools and policies that aim to protect kids. for example x has been boasting it suspended 12 million accounts last year and increased its trust and safety staff. that is not going to be good enough for senators like blackburn and blumenthal who co-authored the kids online safety act increases transparency and accountability for the social media companies and the pair as you mentioned will ask each ceo if they will endorse this bill or not.
6:20 am
blumenthal called out mark zuckerberg last night saying that he is disrespecting the american people every single day by not doing enough. >> how much has he invested in the meta verse? $20 billion. give me a fraction of it and i'll make meta 200 times safer. it's really a question of priorities. >> big tech companies have an army of lobbyists and lawyers who have fought us every step of the way and they don't want to see this because when our children are online, they are the product. and addiction to social media is the business model. >> here we go, the hearing starts at the top of the hour. >> bill: aishah, thanks. stand by for more coming up from washington, d.c. aishah hosni there. >> dana: nypd will now have to
6:21 am
log every interaction with the public when walking the beat thanks to the new york city council that voted to override adams veto of a controversial bill called how many stops act and critics argue it threatens public safety. today's override is one more step toward the city council goal. destroy the world's best police department. so will retirements of our best and most experienced detectives which is heartbreaking from the "new york post." a woman was shot and killed walking home from the bronx a couple years ago. her heartbroken mom said how the bill would have prevented the nypd would have kept her daughter's killer from being captured. the veto override was 42-nine. it was quite overwhelming. your reaction to that. >> i was on my way home and i
6:22 am
got a text and i saw it. at that mom meant i was so frustrated i wanted to throw up is how disappointed i am. it is like joe biden hears us. we only hear ourselves because of the pain we go through. us mothers only hear each other. if the police are going to do work, now they are like a secretary. who will be in the street protect theing us, protecting our kids? now they have to go and spend five hours filing a report while they should be outside protecting our kids. >> dana: it is unbelievable. let me show what it would mean. how many stops would say requires nypd officers to document any encounter with the public including have to say what the race, sex, age of people, factors leading to interaction and outcomes and advocates aim to hold police
6:23 am
accountable for unlawful stops. however talking to paul mauro before. what it really does is what you are suggesting, which is makes the cops not initiate, not proactively police, and if they do, it is a gift to the lawyers so everything will shut down. you have to wonder what victims like yourself think but also what the perpetrators think. another free ride in new york city. >> absolutely. uh-huh. that's the sad part. then at this point it is not a cop's duty to identify gender, religion, nationality because we have lgtpq plus. i give you the wrong pro noun, that will be a problem. the cops are not to be guessing. they are not genius. it is to be outside protecting the community and i told that we all come together. but it looks like we all come
6:24 am
together and that's that. as a new yorker, it is really sad. as a mom that lost a child, it is like at this point who is going to protect us? >> dana: i think it's pretty remarkable what you are doing on behalf of your daughter through your grief in order to stand up for her and for others. those of us who want to be safe in this city. >> absolutely. >> dana: would love to know a little bit about your daughter before we let you go and get on your way with your day. >> my daughter was the sweetest girl. not because she was my daughter, but she was. she was very humble, very kind, an angel like her name i put her. she was just my angel. she wanted to be a makeup artist. and she also wanted to be a doctor and forensic. she has so much dreams and now i'm not able to see no dreams.
6:25 am
that's one thing my daughter would have been 18 years old and i wasn't able to see her. instead i had to go to a cemetery and cry to a plaque and just ask why. now with when this happening is another -- there will be another mother asking why their child went through this and why are they going through this. >> dana: thank you. our hearts go out to you. we thank you for speaking out. >> thank you, i appreciate you guys and you have a great day. >> dana: thank you. >> the situation that is escalating day-by-day. i wish the president was here. >> you are asking the president to come down? >> of course. >> those are democrats in eagle pass, texas speaking out at the border crisis and harsh comments toward the white house and president biden. could alzheimer's spread from person to person? dr. marc siegel on the urgent

>> bill: on the hill in a matter of moments we will see some of the heck, i guess you could argue the most powerful and richest people in the world sitting down before the senate judiciary committee. the issue is protecting children online. and as we just talked to aishah hosni a moment ago, it could get heated. blumenthal and blackburn, republicans and democrats want answers and we'll see how this goes momentarily. stand by. should be underway shortly live on capitol hill. >> dana: a lot of people there already. we'll bring it to you when it happens. the democratic mayor of eagle pass, texas say migrants are overrung his city as abbott
6:32 am
holds the line on shelby park. where the biden add min is trigs wants to cut through razor wire. matt finn has more from the mayor in eagle pass. hi, matt. >> hi, dana. this morning the state of texas is banning biden's border agents from shelby park where i'm standing. the showdown is happening in the city of eagle pass. i caught up with the democratic mayor and councilwoman who say their own town has been overrun by illegal immigration for years and both have joined a chorus of leaders in this region say they feel abandoned and are urging both sides to work together to find a solution. >> we need to stop it from happening the way it is happening. it is not humanly right. but at the same time they are under right to defend and stop it somehow because come on, six, 8 million people crossing in the last three years is just getting
6:33 am
out of hand. we are having our checkpoints closed. i don't know, for god sake i don't know how many people are already past. >> i don't want people coming illegally. i'm all for legal migration. i don't support people crossing the river and staying in the united states. i think those people should be sent back immediately because it is not fair for the people that do it the right way. >> texas fortification of this illegal crossing hot spot appears to be working for now. we noticed a major plummet in large groups here. now the mayor and the texas national guard tell me the number of crossings has dropped from that high of up to 4,000 last month a day down to about a few hundred a day this month. now typically colder months that we're in we do see a slowdown. the coming months as it warms up with likely reveal whether texas's razor wire barrier is keeping the large groups away. it becomes a question of whack-a-mole. if they aren't crossing here
6:34 am
will they head to places like new mexico and california? dana. >> dana: matt finn, thank you. >> bill: we want to introduce you to a former cartel member talking about the crisis at our southern border. jesse is with me. good morning to you and thank you for your time. you have asked us not to reveal your location and we'll honor that for the sake of this appearance and interview. good morning to you. why did you first join a cartel? >> money, greediness. i had a business at the time and they approached me there at the restaurant and they made it so easy for me to, you know, hook up with them. one thing led to another and they started crossing the cocaine to my door steps. >> bill: it was drugs you were dealing in not human beings, right? >> no, sir, i was completely
6:35 am
dealing with cocaine. totally cocaine. >> how many years did that go on? >> i would say about two, three years. >> bill: why did you get out? >> i got busted. i got hit. i got set up. and that stopped everything right there. >> bill: i'm sure you regret all that i'm assuming. if you don't, tell me. it changed your life. now you are a restaurant owner and you say the problem at the border is entirely predictable. how come? >> you know, going back with these people that, they are controlling right now because they are very opportunistic. it is like a chess game. you make a move and that gives them a chance to make their move. you know, they see all these people crossing. they eye young girls, they eye
6:36 am
little kids and the gang i used to work for before. he owned several shops, several red zone what they call in mexico. you see these little girls get nurtured and grow up and work in their shops, they are bars and dancing girls and that's what -- they buy girls from state to state and pass them at state to state. they start them young at 12 or nine and they nurture them and put them to work at a very young age and then the girls will make a living according to what they look like, the representation they have, and by that time they don't want to get out anymore. they are used to that life. >> bill: that's sad. it's all human trafficking and destruction of human life there, too. >> it is.
6:37 am
>> bill: this is an anonymous cartel member spoke with fox digital. no one wants to work in anything else now. everyone wants to work with the migrants. you can make a lot of money from it these days and easy work. it's more profitable to smuggle migrants than traffic bricks of cocaine and with less risk if you get caught. think about that. wow. >> yes. >> bill: you see the draw and attraction. you were pulled into it. listen to a clip from the president of the united states from this week, okay? this is on tuesday. watch. >> have you done everything you can do with executive authority or is there more you can do? >> i've done all i can do. give me the power. i've asked from the day i went in office. give me the border patrol. give me the people, the judges, give me the people who can stop this and make it work. >> bill: i'm not asking for a
6:38 am
political answer. i just want you to help us understand if that makes sense to you. >> not at all. nothing has been done. i don't care what president biden says at the moment. things are still the same. nothing has changed. everything running the same since the first day. there is -- you know, he has a power to do it. i just don't understand why he is not doing it. the drugs, the people, the cartels are coming in. they are just taking advantage of every situation of this border crossings. you've seen the amount of fentanyl that has been coming across. it has really gotten big throughout the united states. so, you know. >> bill: i want to ask you a question that gets asked a lot and i don't know how you'll
6:39 am
answer this. but what if u.s. officials worked with mexican officials to take these cartel leaders off the table. what do you think about that? >> it can be done. it can be done. but you know, it's -- you are talking about these cartel people. they have a lot of money. they can buy you. you can say they are solos they buy people out. if you are in the government, a senator, if you are a big man in government they can still buy you out. and then they know where you are at. you don't know where they're at. that's a problem. >> bill: and they know every inch of the miles and miles of our southern border. jesse, thank you for sharing your story. we'll stay in contact with you, okay?
6:40 am
so we can learn together from you. thank you, jesse and good luck to you. thanks. >> yes, thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: talk about baseball. baltimore orioles will have new ownership. the team has been sold for $1.7 billion. ruebenstein founded a private equity firm and he will be the my prayer owner and cal ripkin junior is part of the team buying baltimore. >> bill: i grew up in cincinnati and i own the cincinnati reads, what a dream come true. >> dana: think about condoleezza rice and the denver broncos. you think i don't know anything. >> bill: a former trump official fighting for his life at this hour after a carjacking spree turns deadly. d.c. residents throwing up their hands in defeat.

6:47 am
fighting for his life. he fell victim to a suspected carjacker's deadly spree at 5:30 in the afternoon. the latest on his condition. >> good morning. this is heartbreaking and hard to make sense of. mike gill is a married father of three. he was a member of d.c.'s board of elections as well as a trump administration official. you are right, he is fighting for his life now in critical condition. here is what happened. at 5:45 yesterday he was down in one of d.c.'s busiest parts of the city picking up his wife. a gunman entered his car, shot him and fled on foot. that wasn't where the gunman would stop. around 7:00 p.m. the same gunman attempted to carjack another victim who escaped unharmed. ten minutes later, bill, the gunman carjacked another couple with a chrysler 200. he shot that man, married father
6:48 am
-- father of two who later died from his injuries at the hospital. the carjacking spree continued into neighboring maryland where the gunman was fatally shot. gill's family issued this statement saying mike is a catalyst for unity and friendship. the most important thing about him all his friends know is how much he loves his family and how proud he is of his three children. you can't know mike without hearing stories of each one of his kids. hearing of his love and respect for his wife, christina. it comes as the crime continues to plague d.c. there have been 46 carjackings so far this year since january 1st. nine homicides. bill. >> bill: too many. thank you, griff jenkins. our prayers with him and his family certainly at this hour. thank you, griff. >> dana: another story, nhl players put on indefinite leave of absence after they and three other hockey players were
