own 12-month investigation. the commissioner said they'll wait for the criminal case to be completed before deciding what's next for these players. >> i have repeatedly used the words abhorrent, and unacceptable to describe the alleged behaviors. >> the woman settled a lawsuit with hockey canada in 2022 after the allegations, declined to take part in the nhl's investigation. >> bill: the story doesn't usually go when this way. see where it develops from here. bryan llenas on that story. >> dana: a dire situation in southern california. a dangerous and potentially life threatening storm battles with region with rain, catastrophic flash flooding. it has it all. the fox forecast center is warning an additional 1 to three inches are ex pekted with some spots possibly getting another eight inches. that creates a high risk of flash flooding for the region
7:01 am
throughout at least early tuesday morning. we're keeping our eye on the storm and keep you updated on that. stay safe, everyone. american warriors taking action launching a fresh round of air strikes to protect u.s. navy ships and merchant vessels in the red sea. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. i'm bill hemmer. they canceled a golf tournament at pebble beach because of the storm. that never happens, right? you have the dramatic video showing the moment u.s. warships unleash a barrage of missiles at iranian-backed houthi targets in yemen getting ready to launch missiles. the white house warning they're not done yet. >> dana: republican lawmakers are slamming president biden for his slow response saying we need to turn the heat up on iran. here is lindsey graham.
7:02 am
>> hit something they value. soleimani was killed with a single strike. there was nothing left but a smoldering car and ring finger. the tactics works. >> minor areas, not to counter what is occurring here. that's the issue. >> we shouldn't be appeasing iran. that's what the biden administration has been doing for the last three years. projecting weakness on the world stay. >> bill: trey yengst is live in tel aviv watching this now. hello. >> good morning. overnight the united states announced new strikes against houthi targets in yemen as the group prepared to launch fresh attacks in the red sea. new video released by u.s. central command shows the u.s.s. gravely, u.s.s. carney and u.s.s. eisenhower supporting the
7:03 am
strikes. the response on sunday followed a larger campaign on saturday that linked 36 different car neither in yemen. houthi rebels threatened more attacks. it says the aggression won't go unanswered and escalation will be met with escalation u.s. forces are bracing for a response to those strikes and the targeting of positions in iraq and syria on friday. "fox news sunday" john kirby said this about the situation. >> what you have saw on friday night was the first round. there will be additional response actions taken by the administration against the irgc and groups they are backing. >> over the weekend, national security advisor jake sullivan did not rule out the possibility of american strikes in iranian territory. currently there is no diplomatic solution on the table to end rising tensions in the middle east. >> bill: stay on it. trey yengst in tel aviv today.
7:04 am
>> dana: marc thiessen a "washington post" columnist and let's pull up the map to show people where the soleimani -- tensions in iraq that led to soleimani's death. we have that on the screen. then you had over the weekend basically some more strikes. the administration the ended to say they were very effective. what say you? >> yeah. maybe the reason he didn't do an oval office address to announce the strikes they weren't worthy of it. i remember back in the obama administration when the syrians were using chemical weapons and the obama officials said they were muscular enough not to be marked. this didn't even get that far. we sent b-one bombers to blow up a bunch of facilities that have been evacuated because we warned them two days in advance of the
7:05 am
dates and time of the strikes. our old boss george w. bush said he wouldn't send a $2 million missile to hit a camel in the butt in a $ten tent. they warned the camels and iranians to get out of the way. that's how bad this was. >> bill: the thing by soleimani's death when they took him out, it was six days after and there was no flag that was thrown up to warn people on the way. it came out of the blue and stunned the world. the essential questions today are how does this play out? how does it end? we're in the middle of it right now. i haven't heard much on both of those questions. >> what they ought to do is reestablish the trump red line. trump's red line if you kill a single american we won't hold
7:06 am
iran's proxies responsible, we'll hold iran responsible and strike against iran. when they crossed that red line he killed soleimani. you know what happened when -- the other thing he did he killed him outside of iraq, in baghdad. you can take out irgc leaders all over the region. they're all over. he said i picked 52 targets inside iran in honor of the 52 hostages you took in 1979. if you retaliate i'll take out the 52 sites. they said we'll throw a pinprick strike against some empty facilities and warned us ahead of time. peace broke out in the region. in the wake of the soleimani strike, trump negotiated not one, two or three, four arab/isly peace accords. iranians were deterred. they're mocking us right now saying they're deterring us. they used to say all options were on the table.
7:07 am
now they don't want war because we are deterring them. they are deterring us. we're supposed to be deterring them not the other way around. >> dana: how do you think foreign policy may or may not play a role in the 2024 election? >> it certainly is playing a role in the sense it is just another sign of joe biden's why people disapprove of him. he is projecting weakness on the world stage. his collapse in approval started in afghanistan. until the afghan withdrawal he was above 50% approval. after that americans decided that he was incompetent and his approval dropped below 50% and never recovered. this just underscores why americans disapprove of his leadership. they don't want to project weakness on the world stage. we aren't securing the borders. they just see chaos everywhere and blame joe biden. once people decide you are incompetent, they don't tend to give you a second chance. >> bill: nbc polling was brutal
7:08 am
for the commander-in-chief. maybe a lot of what you are saying now, marc, is reflected in those numbers. thank you for coming on. we'll chat it up later in the week. thank you. president biden nominating tracy jacobson as the new ambassador to iraq even though she failed to protect u.s. allies who tried to escape the taliban during the afghanistan withdrawal. we have more on that today. gillian, nice to see you. good morning. >> good morning. president biden has nominated a seasoned diplomat to be his next ambassador to iraq. she will have to be confirmed up on capitol hill where her nomination is already proving to be explosive. the chairman of house foreign affairs committee say she failed american veterans and allies when she and the biden administration abandoned hundreds of thousands of our afghan allies. she saw the visa process meant
7:09 am
to helped afghans. the troop pull-out proofed chaotic, even deadly for 13 u.s. service members and left behind thousands of abandoned afghans who worked with the american government. >> we've seen servicemen and women killed whether the three that were killed by iranian proxies or whether the 13 who were killed in afghanistan with biden's disastrous withdrawal and surrender there. we've seen joe biden's weakness. >> president biden has failed our country. grossly mishandled our afghanistan withdrawal, was a sign of weakness. he didn't prevent russia's attack on ukraine. >> the state department defending jacobson's work says she contributed directly to our ability to issue 38,000 special immigrant visas to principle applicants and eligible family members and allowed us to issue more special visa in 2023 than
7:10 am
any other year since 2009. >> ending u.s. military involvement in afghanistan now was the right decision. americans cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves. >> this nomination comes right after washington and baghdad agreed to a new timetable for u.s. and international coalition to withdraw from iraq, bill. there is a lot of concern that the biden administration is signing up now for a second redo of the afghanistan withdrawal. >> bill: we'll follow it. gillian turner from the state department. >> dana: public outrage grows over a group of migrants caught on camera in an attack on new york city police officers. what's next? >> bill: anti-government protestors taking over the streets in portland, oregon as violence returns to grip that city. a private security guard from

>> dana: political violence on the rise in portland after relative calm on the streets following the 2020 riots. dan springer covers this and is live in the north west bureau. >> hi, as you know portland has seen its share of political violence. it had died down until very recently when there was an attack against a city commissioner. rain an gonzalez, a moderate democrat trying to make the streets of portland safe again had his car torched in front of his house. nobody hurt.
7:17 am
this is clearly meant to send a message. anonymous post took responsibility saying let this serve as a warning to the politicians and their capitalist cronies and call the action to other anarchists, solidarity means attack. >> political terrorism. intolerable. we need to throw enormous resources at this. >> but anarchist what they call themselves black block or antifa got away with very little punishment during rioting in 2020. they hijacked racial justice protests resulting in dozens of injured police officers and widespread property damage. the district attorney is criticized for going soft on a lot of serious criminals. now there appears to be a reawakening. arsonists destroyed a forklift and excavator.
7:18 am
downtown is still struggling with empty office buildings, open drug use and scars from the riots remain. federal courthouse is surrounded by a barricade. justice center is mostly boarded up not to expose any windows. >> their intention is to have people back down. but the right leadership that we need right now are people that are not going to back down. >> many think gonzalez is that type of a leader. they told us in a statement they're working with the f.b.i. and a.t.f. on this what is a very serious inhaves gags of an arson attack against a sitting leader. >> dana: dan springer, thank you. >> bill: it's drugs also in portland. what they are tow doing now with the city council and state legislature. this was the pioneering drug law measure 110 that passed in 2020. the ideas was more rehab, less
7:19 am
jail time. 58% in oregon voted for it in 2020. now as of last august the poll they did, those against it the number is just about even at 56%. show you what's going on here. what they did is issue citations. if you're busted with possession it is $1 hundred. the fine for drug possession. of those there was a hotline set up. it wasn't cheap, either. 1% of those given the citation called the hotline. it is 7,000 for every phone call. how much of a success was that? now here were the overdose deaths in 2020. 2021 goes highers, 2022 almost 1400 overdose deaths. extraordinary. my guest now is a private security guard in portland.
7:20 am
good morning to you. how are you going to get this right? >> i know it's a complicated issue. last night my co-workers saved the lives of two individuals out on the street from an overdose. how are we going to get this right? we have to go back to where we were. it seems like we're flirting with the solution. the solution is complicated, i get that. we can't keep trying new ideas. what we had before was a lot better than what we have right now. right now we have people dying all over the place between 2018 and 2022 the death statistics associated with fentanyl overdose rose 533%, as you just showed. those are the county statistics. if it's me and in my opinion we need to target the dealers. all of this is coming from the dealers. the dealers are right now operating with absolute impunity.
7:21 am
they are dealing one after the other. you would think it was a store. oil show you. sit next to me and watch all over the place one right after the other. doing it in schools, parking lots, playgrounds, churches, in front of businesses, doing it in broad daylight and nothing is stopping it. i understand that people are suffering from brutal addiction and the idea is not to punish people already being punished by a brutal addiction but with those arrests came a moment of reprieve. it came forced sobriety and gave them the opportunity to step away from the dealer. it gave them the opportunity to think clear-headedly about where they were going and about their life. these people aren't numbers. they are people that i call friends. people that i interact with on a daily basis. my co-workers, we're doing everything we can to point people in the right direction constantly offering shelters,
7:22 am
offering resources, offering a shoulder to cry on quite frankly. the situation is out of hand and we have got to get back to at least where we were before. it is pretty serious. >> bill: like to take you up on your invitation to come out and see it myself and ride along with you and you can help teach our viewers and the rest of america what you are dealing with. i want to throw some things at you and get your reaction. some democrats proposed the revisions. here we go. possession is a class c misdemeanor up to 30 days in jail. republicans want class a misdemeanor up to 60 days in jail. oregon overdose deaths among teenagers, it brings us to the point you have been talking about this. other experts talking about this. the issue is supply. the reason why supply is the issue is because it's cheap and everywhere. you can mass produce it.
7:23 am
and you see how easy it is to bring it across our southern border. >> $0.25 a pill right now. that's the street value. you can talk to people all over the place. $0.25. you know, those numbers are just numbers on a page until you start meeting families. until you start getting to know people by name. if i had the opportunity i would reach out to wesley's family and give them a hug because wesley lost the battle to addiction. we tried everything we could to get him pointed in a better direction. it is a very powerful narcotic and one that will take people's ability to rationalize and make decisions properly. we have to do something different than what we are currently doing. the citizens, the community members, stakeholders, everyone deserves better than this. >> bill: who was wesley? >> wesley was a man i
7:24 am
befriended. i found him over many occasions and over several years we talked over and over and over and i said wesley, we have to get you into treatment. we need to get you into a place where you are doing better. can we call your mom or dad? i'll get you a ride to a hospital. we'll get you into treatment, whatever we have to do. then i came to work one day recently and told that wesley died. and this is the reason. excuse me. it's different when you can put a name and a face on a problem, isn't it? it's not just a number. these are our children. these are our friends and neighbors. and we have to do different than this. we can't keep walking over people. >> bill: michael, thank you. praying for you.
7:25 am
send you our best strength. we'll light a candle and see you in portland soon, okay? >> i look forward to it. >> bill: thank you, michael. >> have a good day. >> dana: as violent crime becomes a normal part of life in manhattan d.a. is cracking down on fake covid vaccine cards. why isn't he prosecuting more dangerous criminals. a special counsel report has the president worried about optics for his re-election campaign. ♪ i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein! those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. -ugh. -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams protein, 1 gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals. and a new fiber blend with a prebiotic.

7:31 am
don't you want to actually do something so that there is finally a decent headline about you? no. they don't care. >> dana: u.s. border officials are issued warrants for some of the migrant men arrested and released without bail after a violent attack on police officers. police believe some are headed to california or mexico voter after using a taxpayer funded program that gives travel vouchers to migrant. cb cotton has more. >> alvin bragg says the nypd is searching for what he describes as the worst attackers and the assault on a pair of nypd officers. d.a. bragg says he will present evidence in the case to a grand jury tomorrow morning involving the six migrant men who were arrested and charged. only one was held on cash bail. soon 500 migrant families with

7:33 am
come to new york city. the president may have created the crisis but our may or and our governor keep helping it perpetuate by offering all these things. >> today the nypd announced the address of migrants preying on new yorkers as part of a retail theft ring. we're working to learn more. >> dana: keep us posted on that. >> bill: paul mauro retired nypd inspector with us now. good morning. let you tell us everything you've learned. listen to the d.a., alvin bragg, talking about the migrants. >> our profound obligation is make sure we have the right people charged with the right crimes. i don't think any of you wants us to charge the wrong person or to charge someone for something that was not their role. we've been spending time breaking down video, reviewing video, seeking additional interviewing, interviewing
7:34 am
witnesses. this is what we do. >> bill: they are on a bus to california in our country. >> dana: it makes you mad when you hear him saying that. >> bill: they aren't before a judge by monday morning? what's up. >> let's reconstruct this. first of all he is couching this with a nice political bit. he puts it on his constituents saying don't we want to right person? don't all new yorkers as if it's up to us. we're the ones trying to lock people up for no real reason. that's a very defensive move on his part because he knows that this is catching a lot more attention that he expected it to. understand stowing to get legalistic it is simple. the standard for bail in new york is whether or not the offender will return to court period. remember we talked a lot about the fact that new york doesn't have a dangerousness standard for bail. about the only state that doesn't. we tried to get that.
7:35 am
no. the only standard is that. so what he would have to have done here under the laws of new york is to believe that these guys with no family ties in this nation, with no connections and facing felony charges were going to stick around the to come back to court so he could lock them up on multiple felonies. of course they were going to flee. furth furthermore, no conditions, like you are not allowed to leave new york. he gave them free rein and it tells you something. it tells you that they probably didn't care if they fled and maybe even hoped that they did. when he says oh, there has to be more investigation, we have to make sure we have the right people. how did you charge them? how did you have probable cause to charge them? you put in felony complaints but you aren't sure you have the right people. that's a press conference he would like to have back.
7:36 am
he is covering. they blew it. >> dana: how mad are the officers on nypd now. saw some complaining. at the same time you have the headline from the "new york post." manhattan d.a. bragg slammed for -- >> he has units pointing themselves at misdemeanor fake vaccine cards to virtue signal so the next time he runs. these are nonsensical crimes that don't effect the quality of life of new yorkers. day one he says right in there i won't be prosecuting the following crimes. that's not prosecutorial discretion. that's assuming you are the legislature. taking entire crimes off the books. that's not your role. it means in individual cases you can make the judgment the interests of justice are served by going lighter in a certain
7:37 am
way, not taking an entire statute. he just literally says day one we're not going to prosecute fare junk. that was one of the baseis of the broken windows approach. guns and career robbery crews they took off subways grabbing the fare jumpers. not everyone who does that is a hardened criminal. you are going on the subway to commit robberies you weren't paying the fare. how angry the nypd is, i talked to them. they are still working. the led to these guys getting beat up in times square they were out there trying to move these guys along. the crowds get worked by pick pockets. they know what these guys are up to and get them out of the way so tourists will keep coming. >> bill: we remember a time long, long ago three years ago where mug shots would be everywhere and they would be on tv with a press conference. >> dana: instead they leave. >> bill: asking people --
7:38 am
>> dana: they leave court flipping everybody the double bird and head to california. >> with a credit card from eric adams in their pockets. he never gave me a credit card. >> bill: in 2001. >> i can hear you. [cheers and applause] i can hear you. the rest of the world hears you, and the people -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting usa] . >> bill: september 14th, 2001. that man under the left arm of george w. bush was bob beckwith,
7:39 am
the firefighter pulled up on top of the rubble. bob has left us at the age of 91. bob beckwith came to symbolize the bravery of the nypd and the new york fire department. the resolve of the american people to fight back. even years after 9/11 people from around the world still recognized him. i had the great opportunity to go to his house in queens, new york one time. a normal guy with a normal family living a normal life who played such a wonderful role for so many on that day. >> dana: that moment was not planned by the advance folks as karl tells the story and it was nina who had the bull horn, gave it to the president saying they can't hear you. it happened. bob beckwith, rest in peace. what a great man. president biden passing up again a chance to make his case before one of the biggest television audiences. why would he do that?

>> bill: by the way, south carolina is coming up around the corner after nevada. nikki haley holding a campaign event in her home state. republican taking part in politics in pints in charleston. not even 11:00. must be fun. hosted by the post and courier newspaper. on the other side president biden gets a big win in south carolina over the weekend.
7:46 am
the party's first sanctioned presidential primary. it saved his campaign back in 2020 and on saturday night he picked up 96% of the vote easily, right? no competition from his challengers. the republican primary is in 19 days. that's on a saturday. we shall be back. >> dana: low turnout and they spent a lot of money this weekend. also president biden announced he will skip the traditional pre-super bowl interview for the second year in a row. the white house putting out this. we hope viewers enjoy watching the game. what they tuned in for. outkick founder clay travis. it is a huge opportunity for any president. been a tradition for a long time. but i could see this tradition going away. trump skipped it one or two times. biden didn't do it last year. not doing it this year. probably because he doesn't do many interviews at all anyway. i would be okay if this tradition went away, what about
7:47 am
you? >> i don't know that i would dislike if the tradition went away. it would be fine. but if i'm the biden administration and i just saw those nbc news poll numbers come out and we're down five to donald trump and there are questions about the mental and physical ability of my leader of the head of the country of the guy that you want to get reelected to me it feels like a no-brainer to talk to tens of millions of football fans in what is probably not going to be a super hard-hitting, incredibly detailed interview, right? you get an opportunity to say who you think will win the super bowl. it is relatively easygoing as these interviews go. i know he skipped it last year. i think it was probably because fox had it. to me what this does is reiterate how rarely joe biden talks to the media and how much it feels like he is being protected by the people who surround him who worry about him
7:48 am
committing some sort of gaffe in front of an audience of this size. >> dana: last year before the super bowl i had the very best question for joe biden. i was going to pass it along to whoever got to interview him. didn't happen so i kept it to myself. didn't happen. he did have lunch with hunter biden in los angeles when he was out in california. so of course that's a normal thing to do for any family. there is apparently some worry in the biden camp and with president biden himself that there could be some embarrassing details in the special counsel's report on classified documents. you might remember that he had the documents stored next to his corvette in the garage. he said it was a safe place to be. apparently they are concerned that some embarrassing details possibly with photos and i guess that might be about storage, but maybe something else. what do you think? >> well, i think it makes it whatrd to try to prosecute trump for classified documents issues because i think what happens

with many people out there is they say well, if the current president had his own classified documents, if the former president had his own classified document, this is just something that people in politics do and it feels very partisan to be saying trump has to go to prison for the rest of his life for this and meanwhile joe biden storing classified documents by his corvette is not an issue at all. in fact, remember, the department of justice has a rule they can't prosecute a sitting president. so biden gets off scot-free and all of the relations with hunter biden may be involving some of these documents that could be embarrassing. i thought for a long time the classified documents on trump case was actually the more significant legal peril that trump faced. now it's in south florida. jury would be better. judge seems more reasonable than what's going on in washington, d.c. right now. still i think it will be very hard to prosecute trump if these

revelations on the biden classified documents are embarrassing. you know better than anybody if they are putting out this indication that they are expecting a report soon and they expect it to be embarrassing, they must have gotten some sort of preview and be anticipating that. >> dana: i wondered that, too. apparently the special prosecutor has been very tight lipped and hasn't said anything. i wondered the same thing. why would you preview that on a sunday going into a monday. more curious. >> enjoy the super bowl this weekend. >> dana: you know i will. i'm in. t. swifty winning grammy gold. the superstar took home album of the year. the only person to win it four times. how about that? celine dion presented the award, a rare public appearance for her as she battles a disorder. it with as in las vegas.
7:51 am
>> dana: a little controversy about that, too. because if you look at the head of daily mail this morning, apparently there is a feeling that taylor swift was not sufficiently embracing of celine dion and who knows, maybe it was she was overwhelmed in the moment. i'm sure it wasn't meant as a personal slight. >> bill: a clean night except for one moment. biden and trump weren't mentioned. >> dana: that's good. >> bill: right on. jz stood up for his wife last night. >> she has more grammys than everyone and never won album of the year. even by your own metrics that doesn't work. think about that. the most grammys, never won album of the year. it doesn't work. >> dana: i don't know. >> bill: he said more stuff. we have a transcript of this thing right here. some of you may go along with

among them mississippi governor tate reeves. in "focus" with me. illegal immigrants using china's tiktok for instructions how to work with smugglers and drug cartels to get into the country. kat cammack. "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> bill: explosive jump in carjackings and auto thefts driving up the cost of car spoorns in washington, d.c. and frankly this is not good for the public. grady trimble reports from washington. >> one woman who lives here told our local fox station that her insurance premium went up by $1 hundred. such a drastic increase she at first thought it was a mistake. it wasn't an error. insurance agents and experts are partly blaming the rise on carjackings and car thefts. here in d.c. carjackings almost doubled from 2022 to 2023. just under 1,000 in one year.
7:59 am
the sixth straight fear year they've increased. not just a d.c. problem. the numbers from the national insurance crime bureau show crime theft is up double digits in chicago, philly and san francisco metro areas. >> so if you are having people that are injured in these accidents, these carjackings that can increase medical costs. increased repair costs, which can happen when someone steals a part from your vehicle. >> higher insurance prices are the least of the concerns for police and frankly people who live in these cities. these crimes are getting more violent and in some cases deadly. one of the victims of a carjacking in d.c. is a father of three and former trump administration official. a man on a carjacking spree through d.c. and maryland last week shot and killed him. unfortunately in the district carjackings are keeping up with the record pace of last year so
