2:15 am
murderers at parole board hearings. we reversed policies on day one and go back to the days where prosecutors look at each individual case. the defendant, crime committed and impact on the victim to determine who true threats are to our society and need to be behind bars. first time nonviolent offender can serve community service or diversion program. >> carley: robbery up by double digits motor vehicle theft up. we talk to victims and families and even in four-minute suggestments live on tv, it is clear the heartbreak and devastation is real for people. is there a certain decision or crime that occurred that became the decision-maker for you to challenge him? >> for me, it was probably meeting parents who lost their

2:17 am
deep blue county? >> george gascon is personally prosecuted and defended zero cases and i've prosecuted 100 and defended between the0. all he has left is politicized the game. we have found that the fear and the concern over someone's safety cuts across political, geographic and demographic lines. i will unite that 76% of opposition to >> janice: who will be funded by soros and we will bring united opposition to election night victory. >> carley: voters from san francisco to washington, d.c. are having buyers remorse when it comes to soft on crime policy, we'll see how it plays out. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for letting me join

2:19 am
after the accident. >> todd: why is this happening to you and others who are trying to help people and do their jobs? >> it seems to be a severe problem in new york city now. i think soft on crime laws are not helping us citizens of new york or healthcare staff in dealing with these types of criminals. this one particular gentleman has over 20 open cases and he's out on the streets assaulting people. >> todd: edward johnson, illegal immigrant. he is not alone. what have you experienced from the gentlemen on the screen and your years working in the er? >> there is internal push, not sure what the agenda is, when one of us get assaults, a doctor
2:20 am
or nurse, we are discouraged to not press charges. when we press charges and things go to the court level, charges are dropped and the criminals are back on the street and maybe serve one or two months in jail and back out doing the same thing. recurring theme. >> todd: how much blame do you place on the border crisis for the attacks. >> certain percentage should be blamed on the border crisis, no idea this particular patient's migration status. it was disheartening to find out he was illegally put in this country and he had been given so many chances. >> todd: how does the medical system function if people that do caregiving, short staffed, are under threat of attack and
2:21 am
have to go to work everyday with that hanging over their head. how do you do that, chelsea? >> it is difficult to say the least. we wake up every morning or night, we work 12 to 16 hour shifts to help people, help our sick patients and underserved communities and we get abused. this falls under guise of mental health disorders and are ignored. these people need to be institutionalized if they are mentally disabled, not back on the street. >> todd: important point when you said if, a number of individuals are feigning mental health to attack you. some do have mental issues. they need to be
2:22 am
institutionalized, so people like you do not get attacked. thank you for keeping america healthy, we appreciate it, stay safe. big night in hollywood at academy awards. viewers are giving jimmy kimmel big thumbs down. >> carley: and took a dig at former president trump, he just couldn't help himself, had to get it in. we're talking about it with joe concha after this. >> todd: great. ♪

2:32 am
responded to donald trump's truth social. >> i just got a review and has there ever been a worse host than jimmy kimmel at the oscar. less of average person trying too hard to be something he is not and never can be. get rid of jimmy kimmel and replace him with another washed up cheap talent, george george stephanopoulos, blah, blah, blah, make america great again. thank you, president trump. thank you for watching. i'm surprised, isn't it past your jail time? >> carley: joe concha joins me now. the last minute of the show, he had to get that in there. one of the funniest moments was him reading one of donald trump's tweets. what did you think about this? >> joe: nice pivot. trump is correct when he says jimmy kimmel was bombing, he's
2:33 am
been bombing for some time now. this shows donald trump lives rent free in the heads of people like kimmel, who was an entertainer before becoming a spokesman for the dnc. what would jimmy kimmel do if trump did not exist? his entire show is about him. he does not mock joe biden or kamala harris, who provide plenty material on a daily basis. this is what we have come to at this point as far as the oscars is concerned. half the audience does not tune in. they will be mocked in some way. whether conservative or nominees, it does not matter. bring billy crystal out of retirement or the ai version of johnny carson. ratings are in the gutter for the oscars because half the country knows if they tune in,
2:34 am
it is about them being a target, enough already, please, todd, get somebody else in there. bring back crystal. >> carley: maybe todd can do it. he's on it. he could be better. "u.s.a. today" says the oscars started late and went down from there. jimmy kimmel could be sleep walking. that is their thought of how the show went. president biden heading to new hampshire and when it comes to the border, there was a moment that took place with the president over the weekend where it is getting attention for good reason. he apologized for calling laken riley suspected killer, an illegal immigrant during the state of the union. watch this. >> thank you for doing this. that was one hell of a speech you gave thursday night, i'll touch on three specific areas. first being, i noticed look of
2:35 am
surprise when you walked into the chamber and saw congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, it was priceless shock at seeing her. during her heckling of you, you used the word illegal talking about the man who allegedly killed laken riley. >> president biden: undocumented person. >> you regret using that word? >> president biden: yes. >> carley: you had donald trump meeting with laken riley's parents. what a side by side comparison of those two things? biden apologizing for calling the killer illegal and donald trump meeting with laken riley's parents. >> joe: jonathan capart is basically the jimmy kimmel of that network. man who allegedly killed laken riley and he goes right to instead of why didn't you contact the parents and offer con
2:36 am
condolences, instead of saying why did it take marjorie taylor greene to shame you into bringing her up and you used the wrong first name, calling her lincoln riley, do you have regrets over there? instead, the question was you called the person who allegedly killed laken riley an illegal, do you have regrets over that? it is pathetic for regretting using the word illegal when describing the murderer of a young college student brutally killed on university of georgia. joe biden is trying to play to his base who doesn't care about the open border and all the people coming in, hundreds on the terror watch list according to department of homeland security. doesn't care about that, he only cares he used wrong word to describe murderer of a young, innocent woman.
2:37 am
that is a campaign ad there, guys. this is what is happening as far as your president is concerned. >> carley: jaw-dropp apology to give. number one story, kate middleton shared a picture of her and her children to celebrate mother's day and they have been removed from the library and circulation because they say that the image was photo shopped and ap says it appears source manipulated the image and does the meet standarded. princess charlotte's left hand. we have images doctored by ai, so we will not show this. we are entering unchartered territory when it comes to how news organizations deal with images that are doctored.
2:38 am
what do you think about this? >> joe: we have to be careful because ai can alter not just images, but voices and there were campaign ads in mayor race where you heard the voice of a man who was running for that office and it wasn't him, it was doctored. it is a very tricky time right now. as new organizations get information or get photos, they have to be careful about what is what and what is real and what is not. err on the side of caution because otherwise if you get fooled, you are going to be called out and it is something ai can be so tricky and so manipulative i think you have to err on the side of caution. >> carley: we are starting to see big issue that could come to the forefront in years to come with rise of ai.

2:44 am
>> todd: a fox news alert. learning 50 people were injured on commercial boeing jet flying from australia to new zealand. a technical event caused a strong moment. >> carley: cheryl casone has the details. >> cheryl: good morning, on initial first read of reports, it does look like it was severe turbulence, which is rare, but does happen. technical difficulties are being blamed, what happened with that jet, one thing to have turbulence, another thing if technical issue on the aircraft caused the plane to lose altitude quickly. we do see this happen sometimes around the world. it is rare. this happened recently in
2:45 am
hawaii, a plane dropped a couple thousand feet. 50 people injured is a high number, some are crew members, the rest passengers. witnesses onboard talking to reporters in new zealand saying people are thrown through the air. you see injuries in particular if -- i'm speculating and giving best guess here. if a plane does drop, you are going to see people go up, especially if they don't have seat belts on or if it is crew working around the cabin. this is just happening overnight, waiting for more details. these people are in the hospital. this is another problem for boeing. we learned late friday and over weekend, there is pressure on boeing. doj opened criminal investigation into the door plug blow out of the alaska jet in
2:46 am
early january. pete buttigieg said it is time for boeing to start answering questions, watch. >> boeing needs too cooperate in every respect and faa given 90 days to control quality issue around. dealing with boeing and any regulatory issue. >> cheryl: boeing said we've looked extensively and have shared with ntsb what became our hypothesis, documents required were not created when the door plug was open. give you statement from alaska. they said in an event, it is normal for doj to conduct investigation. we're fully cooperating, don't believe we are a target of this investigation. here is the thing with boeing, basically there was a subcontractor, door plug was taken out on the alaska jet last
2:47 am
september, put back in. that is working hypothesis. there is no working documentation puts more pressure on boeing between the two fatal max jet crashes we saw in 2018 and 2019 that were overseas, everyone perished and then max was taken out of service. next thing you know, you have this alaska story and now potentially the loss of documents. this is just another -- bad for boeing. will be watching the stock. >> todd: and concerning for fliers. bring in aviation expert. you have everything cheryl mentioned and everything that happened last week. look at this list from march 4, march 7, march 8th, problems
2:48 am
involving planes. if i have to hop on a plane, take my family, i wonder two things. why is this happening and am i safe? answer those for me, please. >> you know, todd, you are safe. 2023 was safest year in aviation travel. your chance of getting killed in 1 in 11 million. bad things usually happen in multiple of threes and we're seeing that. it has been a horrible month for the airline industry with one after another problems that we're seeing. everything is safe. that is bottom line. everything is under the microscope. you are safe. >> todd: okay. is the white house, transportation secretary we heard in cheryl's piece, doing enough to keep incidents from happening and overseeing
2:49 am
industries so they don't cut corners? i have to imagine these things are happening because airlines are cutting corners or manufacturers are. your thoughts? >> i can tell you, major airlines are not cutting corners as it comes to safety. in their best interest to have their game on all the time and this is happening. the problem is with boeing and third party sub-contractors. boeing merged with mcdonalds douglas, they had control of most of these things. now things are parted out and the question is does boeing have 100% control and oversight of the subcontractors which are not part of their organization. >> todd: how does boeing not have do you remembers for one
2:50 am
fix on the door plug. this is not my wife asking me to fix something with duct tape. this is a plane and there needs to be documentation. thank you for your time and your insight. the u.s. military air lifted nonemergency personnel from embassy in haiti. tom homan here respond to the chaos next. >> carley: lawrence jones will tell us what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> lawrence: new overnight, two midair emergencies on boeing flights, 50 injured after a technical problem. it comes as doj is taken off with an investigation after the slew of safety incidents. former head of the faa what you need to know before you take your next flight and biden hits the granite state, looking to flip script on its old age problem. >> president biden: i'm not a young guy, that is not secret. one more tape. >> president biden: i'm young,

(announcer) are you frustrated with your weight and health? before taking drastic measures, talk to your doctor about a natural solution with golo. (amber) i was on the verge of getting gastric bypass surgery, and i saw the golo commercial, and it was the last thing i tried 'cause it worked. golo's changed my life in so many ways. before, i was over 300 pounds. now, i literally have the ability to take a shirt off and go out in the sun. i just don't have to worry about the weight coming back anymore. (announcer) on golo, you take one release supplement with each balanced meal to take control of your hunger and sugar cravings and increase metabolic efficiency. after i got married, i really struggled to lose weight. nothing seemed to work. i've lost 75 pounds with golo, and i've kept it off. i've tried to lose weight in the past, and i've lost 80 pounds several times, but i was not able to maintain it. with golo, i've maintained this weight loss for over a year. it just works.
2:54 am
(announcer) with golo, you keep the weight off and eliminate starvation dieting. and best of all, there is no prescription required. golo and the release has been phenomenal in my life. it's all natural. it's not something that gives you the jitters. it is an amazing product. before golo, i felt sick, i felt sluggish. since being on golo, i truly feel like i'm back to the best me i can be. (announcer) the key to losing weight and keeping it off is managing hormones, maintaining healthy insulin levels, and maintaining lean muscle as you lose weight. (katie) golo worked for me when i thought nothing would work. what a change it made so fast. (jason) i was 424 pounds. so when my doctor told me i needed weight loss surgery, i knew i had to make a change. i don't ever want to go back to wearing a 4xl shirt or not being able to climb up stairs without taking a break. so i'm committed to golo for life. (announcer) whether you need to lose 10, 20, 50, or over a hundred pounds,

♪ >> todd: a fox news alert. the u.s. military airlifting nonessential personnel from the u.s. embassy in haiti after another weekend of gang violence and unrest. three politicians just attacked over this weekend alone. >> senator tom cotton serves on the senate armed services committee and he joins us now. senator, good morning to you. this situation in haiti is truly unbelievable when it comes to what's going on there with gang members, potentially toppling the government there. but, also, what's happening is thousands of people have escaped prisons there. so, when people hear that and they think about our border
2:57 am
situation here at home, they wonder how could the situation in haiti impact us here in the u.s.? >> carley the violence in haiti is tore risk. haiti has long been a troubled country. another embassy evacuation under biden. six or seven in nearly three years. a sign that president biden is overmatched by events, which again, you see at our southern border when we're having more than 300,000 migrants in some cases a month cross our border. to include gang members from places like mexico or potentially from haiti. you have reports of gang violence of chinese nationals who have crossed our southern border. this is why our national border is not just an immigration issue, it's a national security threat. >> todd: it's a violent world all over right now. so the senate i object tell committee of which you are a part holding a hearing on worldwide threats today. cnn article speculating that, quote: china is worried about the return of trump and it also sees opportunities if he wins.
2:58 am
that's how they are spinning it. but there is a reality we face threats from abroad. what questions are you planning on asking today, senator? >> well, i think what we're going to hear today from all of the security chiefs is that this is one of the most dangerous times in the world they have seen. it's not a coincidence that it's happening three years into the biden administration. because president biden has projected weakness around the world. he has appeased our adversaries. there is a reason that russia invaded ukraine on joe biden's watch. not on donald trump's watch. where iran felt so emboldened it could release terrorist proxies like hamas to invade israel and kill more jews than at any time since the holocaust. and now joe biden seems angrier at benjamin for prosecuting the war against hamas a than he is t hamas for killing all those people and taking hostages. likewise in east arab on the

march where joe biden wants to turn down the temperature. everywhere you turn, american leadership and strength is absent and that's why the world has grown so dangerous. >> carley: when it comes to china, senator, also the house is expected to vote this week on a bill that could ban tiktok in the united states. where do you see this going in the house and also when it heads to the senate? what's going to happen? >> well, carley, i was pleased with the huge vote in the house last week committee 50-0. almost nothing of consequence passes 50-0. a sign that both parties recognize the threat that tiktok poses to america. it's a threat to your data security. it's a threat to your kids because propaganda and obscene material and self-harm material on it. it's also a threat to our country because the chifns communist party controls its parent company and can use it for proogd last week. demanding call members of congress. imagine did it wasn't about a

piece of legislation social media in congress rather imminent invasion of taiwan or trying to crack down on china's cheating on trade. so i support this legislation, i expect a big vote in the house and then i would call in senator chuck schumer in the senate to call it up promptly for a vote in the senate. it's not technically a ban of tiktok, it says that the parent company, which is controlled by the chinese communist party has to sell it to a company that is not controlled by country like china. >> todd: basically saying a divestment. it is not ban and need to be clear on the language there. democrats and republicans coming together. a lot of republicans somehow saying i'm okay with tiktok. see how it all shakes out. senator tom cotton thank you for your time and insight. with that. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. >> brian: 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. monday
