>> i let him get facebook because he wanted to buy a snowmobile on marketplace. and little did i know that a criminal from across the world could contact him. >> david was just your typical 16-year-old boy. his life was abruptly cut short after months of relentless cyber bullying. >> we know if not for social media our children would be here. >> sandra: chilling cries for help there, parents speaking out in droves about the dangers of social media that led to the deaths of their children. and now there are calls for action at the forefront of today's senate hearing where some of the industry's most powerful tech executives are testifying and it has been

moving, every minute of it, to hear, john, along the way. sandra smith in new york. >> john: john roberts in washington. this is "america reports". sandra, every parents' nightmare, no question about that. as the tech titans entered the room, a powerful display of parents seen standing behind them holding up photos of their loved ones killed or negatively impacted as a result of social media. >> sandra: our next guest was in that room. his son's life was cut short three years ago when he was 16 years old. his parents say sammy was contacted by a drug dealer on snapchat, sold him a fen fentanyl-laced pill. we will speak with him in a moment. aishah hasnie live on capitol hill. quite a hearing today, aishah. >> it was brutal. good afternoon to you. just moments ago mark

zuckerberg, the ceo of meta walked out of the hearing room, out of the building to exit and i got to ask him if he takes any blame at all for the countless children who are now dead, the children of these parents. he did not respond, silently walked right into his car, and left. and i asked that question, guys, because earlier in this hearing he apologized to those parents inside, but he did not apologize for causing them any harm, but apologized for the experience that they had gone through. this was a very brutal hearing for all of these big tech ceos. republicans and democrats. incredibly fed up and really tired of having these hearings over and over again. in fact, three out of the five ceos today, guys, had to be subpoenaed to bring them here. they are ready to regulate these lawmakers, they are putting each ceo on the spot, asking them if they'll support any of the dozens of bipartisan bills out

there to rein in social media and that includes allowing these families to sue these companies. listen. >> is there any one of you willing to say now that you support this bill? >> mr. chairman, let the record reflect a yawning silence from the leaders of the social media platforms. >> now all eyes on leader schumer and whether he will bring any number of the bills to the floor for a vote to finally regulate social media. >> john: aishah, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: as we mentioned a moment ago, our next guest was in that hearing room. he is suing snapchat's parent company after his 16-year-old son, sammy, died from a fentanyl-laced pill that was sold to him over the app. sam chapman joins us now. thank you so much for joining us. we understand this is obviously an incredibly difficult day for you, holding a picture of your

beautiful son. what was your take away from what you heard from the executives in the room? >> i heard a lot of mealy mouth apology and a little bit of perjury and really a bunch of people who were not ready to support change, and that's what we as parents really want is change so that the number of deaths and the sexual exploitation on these platforms starts reducing and eventually goes away. but year after year it keeps going up. >> sandra: do you want to see a complete ban of these social media companies? what exactly do you believe would help? >> we are pushing for sammy's law, which would require third party safety software on any platform with children, and this would allow parents to start controlling what's happening online and interrupt anything dangerous that happens. so parents could take care of all of this if we had visibility

into our children's devices, and that exists now. but the devices -- but the platforms with our children on it will not allow for integration of third party safety software and that's what sammy's law is for. we have bipartisan support because we believe that children don't have a party. >> sandra: we are showing beautiful pictures of your son, you know, enjoying his childhood cut way too short in the photos up on the screen for the viewers to see. mark zuckerberg was stopped in the hallway a moment ago by one of our reporters, aishah and she pressed him. >> mark, do you take any blame for the kids who are dead? mark, do you take any blame? >> sandra: there was that moment and also this exchange that you witnessed firsthand with senator hawley where hawley forces zuckerberg to apologize to parents like you for what they have gone through. >> let me ask you this. there's families of victims here today. have you apologized to the

victims? would you like to do so now? they're here, you are on national television. would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your -- show him the pictures. would you like to apologize for what you've done to these good people. >> the things that your families have suffered, and this is why we invested so much and are going -- the industry efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families had to suffer. >> sandra: sam, what was your reaction to that? >> i felt like that was half hearted and forced, and his attorneys were probably dying that he had to do that. but in general, i thought that senators did a wonderful job of putting these people on the spot and showing the nation what's going on. that's what's important about this hearing is that parents should know that snapchat and

instagram, instant messaging, and meta, all of their products are dangerous as well as useful, and parents need visibility into what's going on. >> sandra: understood, that's what sammy's law is all about. quick final on the snap ceo since your lawsuit is with snap. i want to get your reaction to this moment on protecting kids. >> we also proactively scan for known child sexual abuse material, deactivate and device block offending accounts, report certain content to the relevant authorities for further action. >> sandra: as it pertains to you and your case, what did you think when you heard that? >> well, the police told us when our son died that snap doesn't reply to their requests or help with the investigation at all. after we got enough press they finally helped with our case, but i think that the snaps

disappear and they have created this dangerous atmosphere for kids where they think they can operate with impunity. three-quarters of the kids are on the platform and the criminals and sextortionists go there to find them. they need to save the back end for police and allow for parent monitoring software integration. >> sandra: sam, no parent can imagine what you have been through, and we are sorry for that. thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> sandra: we know your goal is to try to prevent this from happening to anyone else, like your son. just heartbreaking, john. >> john: the whole hearing was heart-wrenching, what a moment where hawley basically forced zuckerberg to stand up in front of the families and offer some sort of semblance of apology. i'm sure he's headed back to the bunker in hawaii, but the moment there where somebody was saying we feel your loss.

>> sandra: every parent knows, even if you are, you know, watching over their shoulder every moment that they are on these devices or on these social media platforms, you can't always be there and you know, the kids walk off with the phone or the ipad and they go to school with their friends and that's when they lose track of what's happening on these devices. >> john: never ever ever buy a pill on social media ever, good rule to follow. 11-hour crime spree across washington, d.c. and maryland last night. a father of two killed and former trump administration official critically injured. the suspect killed by police early this morning. griff jenkins has the latest live. do we know anything at all, griff, what might have sparked all of this? >> yeah, john, we know very little. d.c. cops only telling us that it was a lone expected gunman that carried out this carjacking rampage over many hours.

his identity has not been released. the important thing is, he's no longer a threat to the community after being fatally shot by maryland law enforcement. now, this all began monday evening, 5:45 p.m. in city center as you know, one of the busiest parts of downtown d.c. mike gill, father of three and former trump official, was picking his wife up when he got into his car and shot him, now he is fighting for his life in critical condition, his family saying mike is a catalyst for unity and friendship. most important thing about mike that all of his friends know, how much he loves his family and how proud he is of his three children. but then after 7:00 p.m. the gunman attempted another carjacking, unsuccessful, no one harmed in that. a short time after in yet another incident, a young father of two, alberto vasquez was shot and later died at the hospital.

the gunman carried out two more carjackings into the early morning hours today and finally was killed by maryland cops. d.c. mayor had this to say. >> obviously we have a person who has a gun and was discriminate in using that gun in the district and we have families suffering because of it. i'm grateful to law enforcement for finding the suspect, finding the person we believe is responsible and bringing this to an end. an but a rough start to the year, john. crime continuing to plague d.c. 46% car jacksings this year, 59% involving guns. nine homicides since january 1st when the year began. we have asked for motive or clues for what led to this spree, they are still investigating. we'll bring more as you get it.

>> john: used to feel pretty safe here but now everybody is looking over their shoulder. >> sandra: fox news alert, the dow and the market reaction to the fed interest rate decision top of the hour as expected, no change to interest rates for now. but why markets are falling, because they were up ahead of the decision, why the dow is now falling is the fed indicated that it's not ready just yet to start cutting rates until they have greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainbly towards the 2% target. so the markets have been hitting record highs in anticipation of the rate cuts coming, but no indication from the fed that they are going that direction any time soon. we'll be listening for that news conference the fed chair holds at half past the hour. that could be a market mover as well. john. >> john: something to look forward to for the future, at least. a sexual assault scandal rocking the world of professional hockey. details on the allegations and how the league is responding

just ahead. plus this. >> prominent people have said a few bad apples. we are talking about 1200 who belong to the organization, 3,000 in this group, 6,000 whose family members belong to it. it's not bad apple, it's rotten to the core. >> sandra: watchdog sounding off on the failure of the u.n. agency and staff tied to the hamas attacks. we will ask about his testimony and what needs to change. baby: liberty. oh! baby: liberty. how many people did you tell? only pay for what you need. jingle: ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ baby: ♪ liberty. ♪ okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> sandra: calls for action after allegations united nations aid workers took part in the october 7th attacks on israel. now some lawmakers want to cut off funding to the u.n. entirely. the executive director of u.n. watch joins us with his thoughts

on that in moments. but first right to gillian turner, live at the state department. gillian, one senator has unveiled a new bill on this. what can you tell us about that? >> so, sandra, it's all part of this scandal about the u.n. workers in gaza allegedly teaming up essentially with terrorists on october 7th prompting a larger debate in washington whether the u.s. should continue funding the united nations now at all. take a listen. >> they should not receive a single nickel from the american taxpayers. >> senate republicans will not allow taxpayers to fund unrwa. >> not one penny of taxpayers dollars should fund it, and unrwa is a branch of hamas. >> tell us to funding to unrwa is on pause until the u.n. investigates. >> it is because the work is so important that we cannot allow it to be threatened, right. that unrwa has to take this

seriously, has to be a real investigation, there has to be full accountability and have to be appropriate measures put in place to happen again. >> at an explosive hearing yesterday on capitol hill, lawmakers asked experts whether u.s. taxpayer dollars ended up funding terrorism on october 7th. >> anywhere unrwa goes, terrorism follows. we have documented this for years. >> republican senator tim scott has introduced new legislation that seeks to cut off all u.s. funding for the united nations until unrwa is permanently disbanded, he tells fox news this in a quote, not a single cent of american taxpayers should go toward the beheading of innocent babies, rape of women or the murder of civilians. the u.s. is not alone in this question. 17 countries have now pulled their funding for unrwa, at least until such a time as the u.n. has carried out an investigation.

matt miller told me he does not have a time estimate how long this investigation is going to take, so we are waiting, sandra. >> sandra: gillian turner on that, live at the state department. gillian, thank you. john. >> john: let's bring in hillel, at least 12 members of unrwa employees in gaza took part in the october 7th massacre, 1200 employees have ties to hamas or islamic jihad. it's shocking, should we be surprised? >> i'm not surprised, my organization, u.n. watch the past nine years has been documenting widespread and systematic in citement and calls against israel, and employees in gaza, west bank and jordan, submitted it to the united

nations, they didn't want to hear about it. they attacked us. we know they are aware of this and could not care less. that's the truth. >> john: the biden administration did not seem to be very aware of this but the previous administration was. nikki haley said the other day on "fox & friends". >> i knew all the officials at unrwa, i saw the schools where they were preaching all this terrorist hate against israelis, graffiti on the walls, i was there on the ground and told president trump we had to stop the funding. we cut the funding and biden put the funding back. >> john: one of the many things biden reversed from the trump administration and one of the many to come back and bite him and bite him hard. the last administration seemed to know what unrwa was all about. why doesn't this administration. >> it's a good question. we had meeting with senior officials in the administration, the state department when they reinstated funding, the encouragement and promotion of

terrorism, senior official of the state department said he didn't know what we were talking about. he thought everything was great at unrwa. so they never contacted us. giving hundreds of millions, never asked us for more information how to ensure that american taxpayers are not funding terrorism. >> john: and to this day the white house still believes in the broader mission of unrwa. what john kirby said. >> you have 13,000 unrwa employees, u.n. relief and works agency, and 13,000 in gaza alone, and as i said last week, let's not impune the good work of a whole agency because of the potential bad actions here by a small number. >> john: bad actions by a small number. seem to be minimallizing, or minimizing the very least the situation there. you said in your testimony it's rotten to the core. it would seem as though 10% of the employees at unrwa had at least some ties to terrorism. does it go beyond that?

>> it may well go beyond that. we are looking at not just 12 involved in the actual massacre, murder, mutilation, rape and torture, 1200 who are operatives of hamas and islamic jihad in the political or military organization, as many as 6,000 have a close family member in hamas or islamic jihad, tainted with terrorism, hamas controls it. the unrwa director three years ago said off script of hamas, he said the idf strikes on hamas were precise, they ousted him from gaza and got a new guy who would stick on to the script, so hamas is controlling unrwa. we know it, there are alternatives. state department needs to recognize u.n. refugee agency and other relief organizations can handle distribution of aid, does not need to be hamas-invested agency. there are many alternatives. >> john: biden seems to be wedded to this, reading the tea leaves after this investigation is complete they'll restore the funding again. >> looks like it's going that

way and we are doing everything in our part to make sure the terrorist invested agency does not doom israelis and palestinians to continue to war. >> sandra: fani willis won't be called to testify in nathan wade's divorce hearing but their alleged affair casts a huge shadow on the case against donald trump. leo terrell is here to tell us why. >> boston the latest in a long line of cities scrambling to house migrants. why the governor's solution to move some out of the airport is facing backlash. >> we are seeing a fifth column of young adults, 18 to 40 years old, we are not vetting them, don't know their criminal records, they are just set free.

up the border and to make it secure. i had the most secure border in history. i didn't have a deal, didn't have a bill, i said no people are coming in, no drugs are coming in. >> john: former president trump moments ago in d.c. in the building just off to my left here, actually, talking about the border crisis. this as migrants are flooding cities across the united states and pushing shelters to the very limit. hundreds of migrants even camped out at boston's logan airport these days. the governor has a solution, but not everyone is on board. molly line live in boston with more. what is the governor's plan? >> well, this community center here behind me in the roxbury neighborhood of boston will be turned from a community center to an emergency shelter, welcome 75 families today is the plan, but that means the programs here serving the elderly and under privileged youth in this predominantly black community will have to be relocated and not everyone is happy about this

plan to repurpose the site in these next few months. >> we have seen across massachusetts and the country where these illegal immigrants are coming in here, taking all our resources and people who have been fighting for their own peace of the pie are being left out in the cold -- their own piece of the pie left out in the cold. >> not thrilled with the plan, but the complex is state owned and has the capacity to house up to 400 people. now equipped with cots, pack and plays and toys, the mayor traveled to washington aiming to meet with homeland security secretary mayorkas, instead meeting with his team but she traveled through boston's logan airport where you mentioned migrants are sleeping on the floor. many are expected to come to the newly opened site. >> their stories are the same as ours. people who just want to try to give their kids a chance and a better life, and we are a little

bit stuck in a system where the federal machinery needs a lot of fixing. >> state officials estimate nearly half of those using state shelters across massachusetts are new arrivals. the state's democrat governor is blaming congress for inaction. >> so i continue to demand action particularly by the house on what is a sensible path forward. but in the meantime we cannot wait. >> so this shelter, this community center has now been turned into a shelter and ultimately across the course of the next year, it's possible the price tag to keep the emergency shelter here could reach up to a billion dollars. >> john: everybody is suffering from the overflow these days. molly, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: special prosecutor nathan wade is no longer testifying about his relationship with fulton county d.a. fani willis, after he

reached a last-minute divorce settlement with his estranged wife. but their alleged affair may still play a role in the georgia election interference case against former president donald trump. leo, good to see you. what do people need to know about this and what we are learning? >> well, i'll tell you right now, wade bought time. his ex-wife has tremendous leverage, documentation of funding between wade and fani willis going on trips. circle february 15th on your calendar. because fani willis and nathan wade will have to tell the truth in court, and there's a statement that fani willis has to submit by friday. let me be very clear. what happened in the divorce settlement has 0 effect, sandra on the outcome of a motion to remove fani willis and nathan wade, misappropriation of public funds, conflict of interest, all that is still in play,

february 15th is the key date. >> sandra: ok, february 15th. phil holloway said this on the chances this case against the former president will be thrown out completely, leo, listen. >> i think that it could go away if no other reason on conflict of interest grounds, it's going to be very difficult to find another prosecutor willing to step in in my opinion. >> sandra: that's interesting, and "new york times" said the presiding judge could disqualify not only ms. willis but her entire office. though the case could then be assigned to another d.a. in georgia, that process can stretch on for years. to that you say what, leo? >> i say sandra we have to -- i think this case is dead personally, because i honestly believe motivation behind filing the case against president trump and other 18 defendants was politically motivated. i'm telling you right now, sandra, this case is really a case now that's been turned on

to fani willis and nathan wade. they are facing civil charges, ethical charges, possible criminal charges and i would submit to you that the motivation bringing this case was probably based on all the wrong reasons. politicalization, weaponization of the legal system. also let me be very clear, as a civil rights attorney, those defendants are going to have a selective prosecution civil case possibly against fani willis, the district attorney's office for bringing this case because this case may be frivolous in certain aspects of it. >> sandra: this big picture, having just heard from the former president a moment ago, he was taking some questions after meeting with the teamsters union. we are months away, the timing of all these cases have been everything. but seems to politically have still motivated his voters. >> i think every time a case such as the willis case in georgia, it indicates that

president trump has been a victim of a political system that has been weaponized in the courtroom. we don't use our legal system to go after politician, and i'm telling you right now, the reason why you have not heard fani willis or nathan wade deny the charges, because there are paper trails that indicate something is wrong. that paper trail, those trips, that's documented evidence. how are they going to rebutt that? and that is why this case is going to implode february 15th is the key date. fani willis has to submit some documentation by the end of the week. that's going to be written by her lawyers. she has to go in that courtroom and be up front and honest with the court. >> sandra: well, yes know you are watching it for everybody, leo. thank you very much for joining us today. thank you, sir. >> thank you, sandra. >> john: looks like president biden's days avoiding mentioning donald trump by name are over.

>> sandra: as promised, we are monitoring this presser from the federal reserve chair, jerome powell, following their decision, the fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged and not indicating when cuts may be coming. so the market right now, dow is up 43 points, as they monitor his words, i can tell you this right now. the market's reacting to him saying inflation has eased from its highs without a significant increase in unemployment. he calls that very good news. but he said inflation is still too high.

so therefore, they are not indicating when they will begin cutting rates and markets will continue to react and we'll monitor it. now this. >> all this project stands in stark contrast to my predecessor. >> the guy who claims law and order, sows lawlessness and disorder. >> my predecessor. >> my predecessor. >> my predecessor likes to say america is a failing nation. >> john: if you think something was missing, it was, donald trump. he avoided mentioning trump by name for years, and shifting strategy that he wants the race to focus on his predecessor, trump, and not his own record. political panel, christopher bedford and juan williams. how things have changed. what we saw for three years, but what we are hearing now. >> donald trump. >> donald trump.

>> trump and his maga friends. >> trump is a loser. >> imagine a future nightmare if trump is being ba in office. >> john: three years we did not hear the name trump, now all we hear. biden is trying to make this a person-to-person race as opposed to policy race, but that could backfire on him. >> it could, depending on trump's popularity and the former president's popularity increase, whenever somebody is out of the spotlight their popularity increases. a lot of folks look back and wonder, maybe things were not so bad under the last guy. for years donald trump was a name democrats could run on. i knew guys in connecticut who lost local races to democratic candidates who did not even campaign because donald trump's name was out there. and biden used to be able to write him off as his predecessor. but now looking at the polling and the way people are acting, potential donald trump could be his successor, and the campaign has to take that on. >> john: when you look at name

versus name, this new morning consult bloomberg poll that came out shows when you look at the names, trump and biden, trump is winning in seven battleground states. is biden wise to make this race about him versus trump the person or should it be policy against policy? >> no, i think it's very wise. i think you forget. donald trump lost in 2020. so he lost to joe biden. so mano mano, biden thinks let's have it back again and he wants to remind people of exactly who donald trump is. so previously he said you know, focus on me, watch me, watch what i'm doing. his policies, but clearly that has not persuaded the american people to rally to biden's side. but in a man-to-man situation where it's not just a referendum on joe biden, but a choice election between biden and donald trump, and he's going to say hey, look, look at all these criminal indictments, you know

what, who has been found liable for sexual assault, who has been found that they were lying by a court, lying about the value of their business. who is talking about his enemies as vermin. remind people why they threw this guy out. >> john: and people said if trump were convicted or thrown in jail on some of these charges that could swing people's preferences in terms of who they vote for for president. so as all of this plays out, and will likely gain more prominence, how much risk is all of that to trump? >> it's real. they have to take that seriously. i mean -- the democrat, a lot of these attorney generals are throwing everything they can and prosecutors are throwing anything they can at the wall. trump has to be in fairy land if he thinks it's not going to stick. voters are looking and say it's a sham, political persecution. we have to keep track of the different details and trials.

talk to voters in new hampshire or iowa or coming up in south carolina, they are not paying attention. either they think he's guilty of all the above or think it's a hoax or something he's politically persecuted and his polls have been increasing as the trials have increased. >> john: james carville sounding off saying biden has to step up against trump. >> this is not normal. this is not what you are used to. this is an entirely different thing. the man has been adjudicated by a jury of his peers as sexual assault or rapist in terms of the judge. he's already been adjudicated business fraud, we are just waiting to see how much it's going to cost him. you cannot let him up. you can't normalize him, can't let him off the canvas, not for one second. >> john: the points that you were making. in terms of not letting him up off the canvas, a good chance trump will, wwe fan, or whatever

they call it now, will get biden on the canvas and his foot on the neck. trump is a tough fighter. >> i think he's already had his foot on biden's neck. he's already libels, and talks critical about biden. i think what we have not seen is biden, as carville was suggesting, absolutely hammer trump. and you know, the other thing that's at play here is nikki haley. nikki haley is out there and becoming more aggressive and saying look at the chaos. do you want to go back to all that chaos? do you want to go back to all the questions you had of lack of governance -- no. so, the other part of this, and this is picking up on what chris was talking about, who is going to listen or influenced by conviction or negative about trump and not say it's just political persecution. the answer is you look at the results in iowa and new hampshire, i think it was a third of republicans said they never would vote for trump and a lot of independents.

>> i think it's going to change as it gets down toit -- to it. trump is regaining popularity, the ballot box, coming up for trump. >> john: he's in the building next door to us, i think he's left now, but fielded questions a good half hour. >> tell him to come over here. >> john: i know, i know. thanks, juan. good to see you, chris. >> sandra: bombshell allegations out of canada leading to charges for several professional hockey players. how the nhl is now responding. just one aleve. 12 hours of uninterrupted pain relief. aleve. who do you take it for? and for fast topical pain relief, try alevex. directv sports central brings your games stats and scores together and now you can get it without a satellite. one more reason to finally get rid of cable. but getting rid of the cable guy...
