7:05 am
promote we are dance videos and getting their news. it would compel a divestiture and think of it as a surgery designed to remove the tumor from the patient and thereby save it and all the small businesses are concerned and they can continue to use the platform as long as we separate from chinese communist party control. tiktok proved our point yesterday and we had kids, compelling kids to call members of congress and in some cases threatening suicide. i had a colleague who had a caller call in and pretending to be his son. that that is for this bill and imagine what they could do getting closer to the election or on a more wavy issue on whether or not to vote ongoing to war or something like this. >> shannon: why is this different and senator warrener and democrats and senators alike getting rid of tiktok or the chinese influence connection with it. why is this different? >> we've learned from past efforts that have failed to do this and spent eight months

7:07 am
present danger to national security and campaign has a different view and i can't control the biden campaign and i can try and pass a bill into law and luckily the president o or karine jean peer signaled he'd sign the bill. then both campaign cans use it. >> dana: members of congress are staffers of this and it's a number of states are trying this as well. montana and i think of others trying to do something more kin to ban an age limit and how much is this about parental involvement and their awareness of what you're alleging is going on with tiktok in the ccp? >> for me it's primarily about foreign adversary control of a social media app ask solving that problem and confront a second and more difficult problem which is that the corrosive impact of all social media on kids. as a parent that's the problem i should solve before my daughters
7:08 am
are older and is influential and bruising debate about the other issue and it's correlation with anxiety and suicide and depression. >> dana: on the house noor and how quickly to the president's desk? >> no one has ever accused the senate of moving quickly and i've had a lot of interim senators and senator warrener sees the threat clearly and hagerty wants to take action and i can't handicap that and i'm a member of the people's house and not the house of lords and i hope they'll take it up and move quickly and i've had a lot of productive conversations. >> dana: congratulations, 50-0. >> shannon: i would say your 3 and 1-year-old are probably better at social media and screens than i am at this point. we look to them at this point. >> thank you. >> shannon: good to see you. fox news alert on the economy. u.s. employers adding a stronger

7:10 am
families. no child should go hungry in this country. i want ann yule tax credit giving americans 400 a month for two years as mortgage rates come down. reporter: all that adds up to billions of dollars if it happens and the president makes the case, policies like those can selling student loan debt are good for the economy. he always talks about building the economy from the boot tom up and middle out and republicans argue it's these types of programs from the biden administration that have caused higher prices and interest rates making the american treatment less attainable and he's out of touch with the american people. >> they're not concerned about how many degree toe chips are in a bag. they're concerned about whether they have enough money to pay their mortgage that's doubled under him because of inflation and interest rate hikes and again, he's doubling down, he's pouring gasoline on the fire of inflation and he's going to make

reporter: the suspect was arrested in virginia monday after a tip involving cruz's relationship with the migrant sparked a investigation by ohio state police and charged with sex crimes involving a minor and abduction and another case in virginia, a man was taken into custody here 32-year-old renzo mmendoza montez for the rape ofa 1-year-old girl. but apparently it's a laughing matter according to president biden's former press secretary. >> i live in virginia, immigration was the number one issue. again, this could change, in virginia. >> virginia does have a border with west virginia. build the wall. >> what? reporter: according to ice in that last case there, mendoza montez arrested in may while illegally entering the country in september and given a court dais and release into the u.s.. dana. >> dana: alex, every state is now a border state in this

situation. thank you. >> we need to secure our boarder and fix the immigration system. i think we can do both. in november, my team began serious negotiation with a bipartisan group of senators. the result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of border security for the purposes we've ever seen. you don't think so? oh, you don't like that bill, huh? >> shannon: years of broken promises on the border caught up to the administration and last night the president was pointing finger at republicans for failing to solve the crisis instead of talking about how he is going to fix it. bring in former rnc communication doug high and to counter matt ben nit. welcome. good morning to you. there's a lot of pressure on him and this moment on his way in
7:32 am
with congresswoman marjorie taylor green who was in her maga stuff saying say laken riley's name and victim of the nursing student in georgia. i want to play a little something when the president finally decided to address that head on. >> lincoln riley, a innocent young woman that was killed by an illegal. that's right, but how many of thousands of people are being killed by illegals? >> shannon: there's a lot to unpack there. that was clearly an unscripted moment but now not the left is coming after him for using the fraise and term illegal. >> it's not a phrase that people on the left like and i understand why. undocumented immigrants is the way they refer to them but the bigger context here is what the president was saying about immigration. he took it head on and it's been a vulnerability form and we'll discuss but what he said was absolutely true, which is he has embraced a very, very tough border deal written by jim langford that's a very
7:33 am
conservative republican. senator langford was nodding in agreement during that part of the speech because he knows it's true. what biden is proposing to do is going to be the toughest immigration proposals that have been on the table in a long time and the problem is that donald trump has tanked that deal because he told people in the house he didn't want it. >> shannon: whether they've been nodding from langford, the speaker was -- >> dana: speaker said he doesn't have a good poker face but the reason biden wants the bill, doug, is because for three years, after the executive orders he put forward, they dismantled those policies and that's how he ended up with 9 million additional illegal immigrants and all these stories we're talking about. the fox news poll just most recent one, immigration at a 66% disapproval for president biden and the current views on biden versus frequency versus trump four years ago coming to immigration, negative 47 for biden and trump's edge was plus 45. that's all to say to matt's
7:34 am
point, can biden and the state of the union say republicans are to blame here erase three years if republicans can't figure out a way to talk about this effectively? >> short answer is no. any time outside of washington dc last weekend i spent four days in north carolina. the two things i hear the most are biden's age, he can't do anything about that, and immigration and the border. he can do things on this and look, when i worked in the building behind you all, i would have dreamed to have had a bill negotiated like put forth in congress. congress rejected and we have to move forward and i was surprised by biden giving a lot of words and not really any action. if hoe had said comma, and that's why i'm going to sign this executive order and that executive order showed action, it would have been a much stronger thing for biden. donald trump did one thing very smartly when he was president. when he'd sign an executive order and he'd hold it up so we could all see. look at me and what i've done. what was in the text was less important than demonstrating
7:35 am
action. bind has to demonstrate action because he's hemorrhaging on this issue. >> shannon: i noticed this moment when the president came in last night and was shaking hands and talking for quite a bit of time with joe mansion, got to be relieved to the white house that he's not running but what does no labels do today? still sort of a thorn in the side of the white house? >> absolutely it is and something i'm obsessed with. they're going to vote today. they're debt gals they hand picked voting to go forward and don't have a candidate. donald trump put on truth social last night how delightful it would be to have mansion and romney running on the no label especially ticket. he knows they'd help him. it's apparently only no labels doesn't know that. >> dana: quick answer, does last night's speech quell any talk of replacing biden at democratic convention? >> it quells some of it. look, this was a good night for him. he was strong and forceful, loud obviously as well. that was on purpose. but there's old bruce springsteen song, prove it all night and biden needs to prove
7:36 am
it over and over and over again. he's going to be remembered for his last gaffe and his last slipup, not a strong speech. >> dana: doug and matt, thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> shannon: see you guys. >> the president engaged with the community on a number of occasions and working night and day around the clock to secure the release of hostages and make sure we're doing everything we can to, you know, address the situation in the region. >> dana: the white house insisting president biden is doing everything possible to end the fighting in gaza and bring about the release of hostages, including american hostage. his pans were guests at last his pans were guests at last night's state of the union and they'll join us with reaction next old bn america's news room. clinically proven to help reverse the four signs of early gum disease. a new toothpaste from parodontax, the gum experts. introducing, ned's plaque psoriasis.

7:42 am
situation is a two-state solution over time. but there is no other path that guarantees security and democracy. there's no other path that guarantees that palestinians can live in peace. >> shannon: president biden reiterating his call for two-state solution for the state of the union address and squad sill still not impressed and cori bush will not say whether she would vote for president biden in the missouri primary later this month. the state facing an uncommit #-d vote protest and republican senator marco rubio says the president is more concerned about the two states in the midwest, not the middle east. >> talks about a two-state solution. what he means by a two-state solution. it's not israel and palestine, his two-state solution he's trying to arrive at with all the crazy ideas are michigan and minnesota. those are the two states that he's most worried about because he's afraid he's going to lose them. >> shannon: democrats urging president biden to take that and all the uncommitted volts as a warning -- votes as a warning
7:43 am
sign. >> in the chamber tonight are families whose loved ones are still being held by hamas. israel has a right to go after hamas. hamas entered this conflict by releasing hostages, laying down arms could end it by releasing the hostages, laying down arms and surrendering those responsible for october 7. >> dana: partisanship was much in play yesterday for a moment last night and there was a moment, an attempt at unity. president biden bringing lawmakers from both sides of the isle to their feet during the state of the union address promising to secure the freedom of the hostages held by hamas. joining us now are ronan and amayra neutra. what was it like in the chamber last night in the chamber? who was the mood and how did you feel you were received in
7:44 am
>> well, we attended the speaker johnson's reception. we met a lot of congressmen and kennedy talks and i think we really saw bipart son support o release the hos hostages and tht was the only thing that brought people to their feet the whole evening and it was emotional and a lot of members wearing the dog tags and yellow ribbon as a reminder that there's still six living american hostages plus two american that were murdered and still held in captivity for 153 days. it's unbelievable. >> shannon: for you, this is not a political issue. this is your child. do you worry that it does get lost in conversation? that there are americans here and this isn't just that we have interest in a region. i mean, these are our people,
7:45 am
this is your son. >> yes, that's true. i think that's why it was even more important that it was mentioned yesterday in the address and that everyone showed the support personally. we were hosted at the event by congressman on both sides of the aisle, and we're very appreciative of that because it can't become a political wedge. it cannot. it's a humanitarian issue, our son is american, and he needs to come home. >> dana: there was also -- if we can pull up this photograph and call them the squad and members of congress who very much think that israel needs to have a ceasefire immediately without really pushing hamas to release hostages as president biden said and many others said. if they'd release the hostages, there can be talks but till then, that's not happening. do you feel there's any cracks in that foundation of release
7:46 am
the hostages and then we can talk? >> they've got to be. there has to be. the kansa qatar and egyptians po lot of pressure on hamas holding any progress here and the offer is pretty generous as farads we understand we're not -- far as we understand it's not the full officer but they can get into a ceasefire as long as they start releasing hostages and then the people in gaza will be getting unity maybe they need to be getting and getting humanitarian support and we don't even know if he's alive for 153 days. where is the parallel here? >> shannon: it's got to be incredibly frustrating for you and the other victims and do you feel like you're getting communication and support as you are waiting for some word of your son?
7:47 am
>> we do feel that the president, you know, has committed support from the first moment, and we've been meeting regularly with the national security adviser jake sullivan and receiving reports very candidly about where things are at. unfortunately there's no resolution yet, you know, and there's still work to be done and all the parties need to continue to put pressure of things that need to happen. we're very appreciative of the support that we're receiving. >> dana: might not be able to see this but the t-shirt says bring omer home now. we share that sentiment and thank you for being here and for the state of the union address. >> thank you very much for having us. >> i know jewish students who have decided to take their stuff off and remove the stars of david and stop telling people they're going to chabot and
