third tip. when the kids were little. instead of dusting the furniture i would have little sock puppets. put electric static cloth. air freshener, now they just go lick off all the furniture. how much more fun is that, right, than just cleaning up. >> steve: a great idea. >> this is my gift to you today. absolutely. >> steve: happy spring. >> you have to put them to work. >> steve: wrap it up. i will dust the set. >> ainsley: there is probably a lot of dust on there. we are about to find out. >> ainsley: let me see. >> wow, look at that. steve >> steve: check it out. >> bill: here we go. we're breaking the bank today. former president trump saying he can't afford an appeal bond
6:01 am
totaling nearly half a billion dollars. if a court does not intervene the new york a.g. james can start going after his properties as early as next week. wouldn't that be a sight. good morning, everybody. here we roll on tuesday. bill hemmer, good morning to you. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." she might show up herself to do it, right? since she was in the courtroom every day. here i am with the padlock and camera. former president trump is asking an appeals court to delay or reduce the payment as he fights a civil judgment for business fraud. leticia james says she won't hesitate to start snatching his assets. according to jonathan turley the law is on the former president's side. >> they could appeal this all the way to the supreme court. on occasion, the supreme court has intervened in state actions. on punitive damages. this is falling into that extreme category in my view. i find it appalling. it shocks the conscious that you have to pony up this type of
6:02 am
money just to get someone to look at what you believe -- and i believe -- is an exsive ruling. >> she campaigned on prosecuting him repeatedly. "wall street journal" editorial board argues her actions could have a chilling effect on the new york economy and the governor said no, we're good. you have the worries she could twist the screws on business in new york. >> dana: team fox coverage andy mccarthy on deck. eric shawn is in new yor >> legal experts call it uncharted territory. a band so high it could bankrupt a business. this is the amount the judge ruled former president donald trump must pay and has to cough it up in six days. he must come up with a bond of $454 million by next monday in order to satisfy the judgment set by the judge in the civil
6:03 am
fraud trial. he found the trump organization overvalued its real estate assets to get better loan terms from banks. mr. trump is asking an appeals court to pause the judgment or accept a lower bond of $1 hundred million. trump posted the demand is unconstitutional, unamerican, unprecedented and practically impossible for any company, including one as successful as mine. the bonding companies have never heard of a bond this size before. nor do they have the ability to post such a bond even if they wanted to. trump doesn't meet the deadline leticia james can freeze his bank accountand go after real estate properties. trump tower or the skyscraper at 40 wall street. james has to get in line before she ever sees a dime from trump properties. >> number one is the other lien
6:04 am
holders, tax, new york city and state. the list goes on and on and on. >> in order to post the bond insurance companies need cash as collateral. they don't rely on trump's real estate assets because he does not have the backup and bucks in the bank it seems the 30 insurance companies lawyers said they approached for the bond all said no. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: andy mccarthy joins us now. andy, hello. good morning. let's go back in time. a flashback of her going after trump first. watch. >> he will know my name. we need to focus on donald trump and his abuses and follow his money. we need to find out where he has laundered money. we need to find out whether or not he has engaged in conspiracy. important everyone understand the days of donald trump are coming to an end. >> bill: does that matter to you based on law? >> yeah, he was selectively
6:05 am
prosecuted. he is being selectively prosecuted both civilly and criminally. in terms of what we're -- what's currently on our plate right in front of us, you know, this idea whether he can get a bond to stop her from enforcing the judgment, i don't think that's the place where you pause it or advance a selective prosecution claim but certainly on appeal he should be making one. >> dana: so andy, why would these 30 companies, insurance companies say no? >> you know, dana, i think the one thing you can take away from the fraud case no matter what one thinks about the inflation of assets that was proved is that when you are dealing with fixed assets and real estate, it is a dynamic market and there is a lot of subjectivity in how you value assets. if you have cash or marketable
6:06 am
commercial paper, that's worth what it's worth. if they will stick their necks out in terms of the risk -- if trump wasn't able to pay the bondsman has to pay. they want to make sure that they get recompense. the way you are confident you get what you are laying out it is cash or something that's a cash equivalent rather than real estate values, which can really fluctuate. >> bill: trump is a huge company and they have a lot of assets and there is a risk if they go forward and back him up. andy, what happens in a seizure of property? do they put a padlock on it? do they surround it with police tape? if you go to one of his buildings the trump tor, bedminster and you are lining tape around the property to keep people out, that creates a media opportunity. she might be there and cameras will certainly be there. >> i think we're a ways from
6:07 am
that, bill. at first they would want to go -- they would like his liquid assets, too. maybe not enough to make the judgment but could be close. he had to put up almost $1 hundred million last week in connection with the carroll case. jonathan turley's observations were very sound that you played earlier about how this could go to the supreme court. i take what he is arguing is an eighth amendment claim. there is a new york constitutional provision that also makes excessive fines prohibited under fundamental law. but i think we are a ways away from that. the appellate division that hears appeals from the courts in manhattan, i think they should take into account that there were no victims proved in the fraud trial. and trump's assets in particular real estate, a lot of it is in
6:08 am
new york. he won't be able to pick that up and take it someplace. so as long as they are confident that he doesn't divest himself of holding attention and not like there were other victims who need to be compensated the court ought to be satisfied that trump's appeal can go through, he will put up some amount less than the face value of the judgment, and he has all this property. the state should not be too wore eft that trump's assets will disappear. >> dana: during this campaign season and the next several months president trump will be in court a lot. we have a little roadmap for you here. the campaign courtroom calendar. andy, if you start -- even if there is no visual in terms of the seizing of assets, people who are maybe on the fence about voting for him but think he is being unfairly targeted, if they are on the fence and thinking
6:09 am
maybe of not voting, maybe watching this unfold where the democrats thought it would help them, it has been shown to hurt them. give you a final word on that. >> well, i don't know, dana. there is a trajectory of this. i think they really did want to run against him and the way they did this made it vy hard for other republicans to get traction in the nomination process. i think what they calculated is when the bad stuff all really comes out, then the audience isn't republican voters, it is the whole nation and they think he is not as popular with the whole nation and this will play well. they may have overplayed their hand but we'll see. >> bill: nice to see you. talk soon, okay? andy mccarthy. he is undefeated on his opinion so far. it usually happens when andy says it. >> dana: supreme court blocking a texas law that lets officials
6:10 am
arrest migrants crossing the border illegally. they challenged sb4 saying it's unconstitutional. texas says it's necessary to stop the border crisis. nate foye is in eagle pass, texas. hi, nate. >> a source with texas dps tells me the supreme court ruling with sb4 is disappointing because it would have served as an effective deterrent to illegal crossings in the state of texas, we're seeing more migrants crossing illegally in the west. western parts of the country. however, without sb4 in effect what will continue happening is texas law enforcement will turn migrants to border patrol where they are processed and often released into the country. supreme court did not provide an exact date for the next ruling for sb4 texas dps has some tools. look at the drone and video of a crossing from yesterday. here is what can still is happen, dana. texas dps can charge migrants
6:11 am
with criminal trespassing or mischief if they cross at shelby park or if they find runners on ranchs and the ranch owner agrees to press charges. the cases they could still charge the migrants. 170 miles from here outside san antonio border patrol, ice, texas dps arrested a venezuelan national. he is wanted me columbia for homicide, trafficking and extortion and he is just one of the many dangerous people who have been caught in recent weeks. look at this picture from this week. fox confirms this man, arrested this month near el paso, claims to be a hezbollah terrorist. lebanese national. while in custody he said he would try to make a bomb in the united states. all this as the rio grande valley sector reports a busy spring break weekend. border patrol agents seized five
6:12 am
guns, seven drug busts arrested 11 human smugglers. something that continues to be a big problem. >> we see the constant increase of human smuggling. any time a driver is recruited they may $2 thousand to $5 thousand a person smuggling from one point to another. it is lucrative and entice individuals to get involved with that especially teenagers when they see that on social media. >> dana, here in the del rio sector agents are reporting catching 11 migrant runners and after further inspection one of them is a confirmed gang member. send it back to you. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: so police releasing the last known video of the missing college student riley strain. what it might reveal about his disappearance today. >> dana: as gangs continue to loot homes in haiti, why lawmakers are pressing the white house for a presidential declaration. >> bill: if you are wondering where is the princess, kate

6:19 am
middleton out and about with her husband at a local store near their home in windsor a week after a touched up photo that was withdrawn and set off rumor and speculation. alex hogan runs down the story in london where it's the talk of the town. hello. >> there is this new video but it isn't exactly easing the minds of those who are very concerned about the princess of wales. this is the new video released by tmz. grainy and taken at a distance. you can appear to see kate in black leggings and long sleeved sweater alongside william wearing a jacket and baseball hat. they appear to be smiling and in good spirits walking toward the local grocers. these photos and videos, they have doubts over these images. conspiracy theories are spreading like wildfire over the last couple weeks after kate posted this photo which was later recalled by news organizations for very clear
6:20 am
photo shopping. kate quickly apologized chalking it up to her amateur editing skills. that hasn't appeared to calm the global speculation and rumors we have heard about her health and whereabouts. her last official outing was with the royal family on christmas day. it was two months ago when the 42-year-old was hospitalized for two weeks to have what the palace called an abdominal surgery for an unspecified condition. prince william is attending a formal event today and field a lot of questions no doubt about his wife's health. but we despite this video aren't expecting to see the princess any time soon. the palace says she is not expected to make any formal appearances or outings until next month as she recovers. >> bil might be easter sunday. it could. alex, thank you, in london. >> this is basically six pers percent of the purchase price, which is now up for grabs. why is that important?
6:21 am
it's important because what has been around since basically the early 1900s is now fair game for people to be able to get savings when they go to buy a home. >> dana: ending the 6% commission on buying or selling a home. this decision will make payment to real estate agents negotiable. the new rules are expected to drastically reduce agent fees and could be a game changer for home buyers and sellers. host of making money charles payne joins us now. a quote from the "washington post." overall economists estimate the changes could cut the 100 billion they pay by 30%. >> that interview with bill was breaking news on friday. i was inundated beginning friday afternoon. listen, all industries have changed. for instance in the brokerage
6:22 am
industry used to cost a lot of money to make trades in the stock market. half the number of travel agents that there were ten or 15 years ago. we see this change and it is interesting because it is such a complicated system. so many ways. this is where now the sellers won't share the commissions with the buyers. the buyer's agent. if the buyer's agent doesn't make money do you pay the buyer yourself? but i think what propelled this agreement is last month the fed came out did a study on this and came out and said this is an astounding number. it would save the nation $30 billion a year. so-called welfare social surplus. all the costs that ripple through. if you took those out $8 hundred million. it's a big deal and how it will impact. >> bill: it's fascinating. when you own or sell or shop for
6:23 am
a home you factor in the house. still owe says if agent commissions are meaningfully impacted, it could reduce the marketing budgets of real estate partners and reduce the number of real estate partners which could adversely -- they are talking about fewer jobs, if you read deeper on this you find that home prices could actually be reduced slightly. the president will talk about this today in nevada given the housing shortage today in america. what do you think about all that right there? >> no doubt about it. the party that he was talking about. the savings come from a lot less commission. other people relying on this. what is interesting is 67% of these agents are women and they get a chance to work in the local community, maybe be able to pick up the kids from school, that kind of things. we don't factor those kind of things in. for the greater good you can argue that we'll save money. but the system has worked pretty
6:24 am
well until now. interesting enough this is the national association of realtors. warren buffett was in the two lawsuits as well. his company has not agreed to settle. so as of right now warren buffett is pushing back and still fighting this. individuals, it is really tough. listen, i think there are some legit matter about this. the flat fee based on the home price doesn't say anything about how much work the agent puts in for you. >> dana: that's why some people get their nose out of joint about it all. this is also possibly a chance for innovation and a year from now we'll be saying that young woman was smart when she figured this out. >> the good news is there are a lot of people in this business like 1.3 million people, you could argue half of them are lousy at their job. i'm not disparaging anyone. this is what agents are telling me. agents are saying some are just
6:25 am
lazy. 87% right now if, 50% of home buyers find their homes right now online. go online and find a great home. 87% are still using agents. the home buyer has already done half the work. found the home they want. they find an agent and give this person a big chunk of money. >> dana: buying and selling has changed over time. >> it has to be nuanced. >> all the foreclosures was the forbodying warning in 2008. do you see a danger out there now? >> danger but not red flag. early yellow flag. >> dana: go into the water with caution. thanks. >> bill: crisis in haiti getting worse by the day. armed gangs rampaging throughout the capital city there. plus there is this from the white house. watch. >> for all this talk of chaos, i just didn't see it not from my

6:31 am
>> in is a fluid situation and the number of individuals who have reached out to us through the crisis intake forum is approaching 1,000. >> bill: u.s. state department giving an update on the number of americans trying to get out of haiti. gangs run the streets unleashing new and deadly attacks in wealthy areas of the capital city. republican michael waltz was briefed on this and talk about what the endgame needs to be. bryan llenas is live in the dominican republic. how are things 24 hours later.
6:32 am
>> it's calmer here today because it is not one of those by national market days. one of the four major crossings out of haiti not utilized by many americans just yet. that is haiti and those are haitian migrants. state department warned americans stuck in haiti to travel by land at their own risk. monitor local media for updates on violence. gangs attacked two wealthy neighborhoods in the capital leaving a dozen people dead. the capital's airport is under gang control. the u.s. embassy says it is working to coordinate evacuation options from the capital city to the dominican republic. they're working on rescuing 200 americans and helicopters are the best option right now. miriam was rescued by project
6:33 am
dynamo. they sent in marines for the u.s. embassy but 1,000 u.s. civilians to fend for themselves. >> when i first heard they weren't t going to send anybody after they evacuated the non-essentials, it just made you feel what am i? we're all essential. we all matter. we're all american citizens and we all deserve the right to get back home. >> yesterday we walked through a market in the d.r. where 20,000 haitians were buying and selling goods. necessities they can't get back at home. several haitians told us they support international intervention here. >> yes, i'm afraid of the gangs. we can't go outside. kids can't go to school or eat. life is very difficult. >> to solve the gang problem we need an international armed force. we cannot do it alone. >> kenya says it is ready to lead a multi-national police
6:34 am
force to haiti to fight the gangs as soon as as there is a new government in place. dominicans are preparing for perhaps a mass exodus. they have the wall up and ready for gangs or migrants as they are back in the u.s., bill. >> bill: tough stuff. bryan llenas near the border with haiti in the dominican republic. >> dana: let's bring in michael waltz of florida and a member of many national security committees. he got a briefing on this on friday. this problem didn't develop overnight. this has been building for a while ever since the prime minister was killed about 18 months ago. now you have a full blown crisis where you have people desperate and who will leave. it's not like they will walk across the southern border with suitcases and pillows. these people are starving and in fear of their lives. what did centcom say? >> i was at southern command down in miami and look, there are two critical issues here.
6:35 am
one is the safety of our embassy and the thousands of americans that are trapped in many cases away from the embassy and can't transit through the gang-run areas to get there. so that's one piece. then the other piece is the potential for a mass migration. florida's coastline is actually longer than the texas southern border and so on the one hand, i do think the military is positioned to get our embassy out. but if they are going to get every american out, meaning we need to send helicopters or convoys through these gang-ridden areas, that will be a large military intervention that the white house is going to have to order before it devolves into absolute chaos. that is what we're looking for. we can't do what we did in afghanistan, just wait until everything was taken over and then try to introduce our
6:36 am
forces. and look, i'm more concerned is handling the mass migration. the coast guard is surging forces down there but we have yet to see a coast guard request to the navy and to the pentagon for them to put military assets down there. we just can't have a surge like we are having on our border. that's right. commander-in-chief has to make that call. >> dana: we also talked to a couple from indiana yesterday they have adopted two boys who are there in haiti. and i understand the state department is meeting with adoption agencies today and in florida you probably have constituents in a similar situation. do you think that gets solved? >> i don't know how and when that gets resolved, to be honest with you. this is a broader issue. temporary protected status. what are those reforms that we have to get put in place?
6:37 am
and we've been clear in washington, we have to secure our border and coastline before we start talking broader reforms. >> dana: they will be looking to the white house to see what they say on adoption agencies. the house committee you are on has been looking into the withdrawal from afghanistan and an investigation. headline from the "washington post" caught my eye. forget about biden impeachment. watch this investigation to see what's happening. tell us what have you found or where this is going? >> well, i think what's going to come out of today's hearing, dana, is that biden ignored the very sound military advice of 34 star generals. commander in afghanistan, the commander of the middle east and chairman of the joint force who said leave bagram air base. the only base in the world between russia, china, iran and
6:38 am
platform to keep a lid on terrorism and keep a small force there of special operators and intelligence professionals to keep the afghan army fighting. and then secondarily once biden made that decision, the state department waited way too long to evacuate our embassy. in fact, they thought the embassy could continue going and that the taliban wouldn't go after our allies, u.s. citizens and our embassy, and that was the fundamental issue that we pulled all of our military out before we had our allies and our civilians out. once they had to go back in, once the state department reversed that decision way too late after the fall of kabul, then that is when disaster and chaos ensued. to get these generals to validate that on the record in front of these gold star fame lalls i think is incredibly important. >> dana: thank you for all of that. we could have kept you for an hour. we'll let you go.
6:39 am
thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: bill, a buzzer beater turns into one for the record books. watch here. >> looking in for irving. irving for the win, oh, my, oh my! >> dana: there you have it. irving hitting a left handed hook shot made history in the process. the game winner is the longest game-winning hook shot ever recorded. >> bill: that's awesome. i think he is right-handed. i would have to do a chatgpt check on that. the hook shot in basketball is a lost art. you don't see that. this is getting -- wilt chamberlain. >> dana: like the van gogh of hook shots. >> it was gorgeous. we should see it again. he is a right hand man. >> bill: he will sign his next paycheck with his right hand.
6:40 am
well done. nicely done. south american thieves robbing homes across l.a. and how they are exploiting the system to get inside the country. do you think? plus this. >> i honestly have said i don't think trump or biden. i think their age range, i don't think they reflect my generation's views as well as they could. i think i would probably have to write someone in or maybe not vote. >> bill: many young americans disappointed with the options for the white house. new data shows they are skeptical of the entire political system. the troubling trends among gen z. we'll get into the story coming up. with a lack of purpose and struggle with employment. the military does provide help. and as americans, we can do so much more. i started the comfort, peace and freedom foundation to help veterans define their personal vision and to build a future of success. a lot of them aren't looking to what life after the military looks like until it's time,
6:41 am
you know, within their last year to do that. ken, you wrote a bestselling book about taking advantage of blue collar careers. i wanted to make sure that we had a way for our returning veterans to see a really clear future for themselves and through the foundation, we can provide materials, we can provide training. courses and books that can help them focus and see e what they want their life to look like. and then how to go about getting it. anyone willing to risk their life in defense of our nation deserves our support. your donation will help put educational resources, including my bestselling book, blue collar cash and my course into the hands of our veterans. visit veteransuccess.org now. i would like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know there are so many of you who have served your country honorably, whether it's two years, four years, or thirty-two years, like myself. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is your eligibility for a va loan. not 80 percent but 100 percent the value

6:46 am
15 minutes before the hour. >> dana: check this out. police call it burglary tourism. south american thieves entering the u.s. on tourist visas and robbing homes targeting wealthy neighborhoods selling stolen goods and sending money back home. william la jeunesse in los angeles. a hot spot for this theft. >> on paper the thieves are ghosts. thousands we have no idea who they are when they land. biden administration, they say, could solve it tomorrow by removing chile from the visa waiver list but they won't. mug shots tell an untold story. organized crime rings from chile posing as tourists terrorizeing u.s. neighborhoods. >> cannot comprehend why the united states government is trying to protect chileans coming and breaking into our homes. >> police say members travel from chile to wealthy neighborhoods in l.a. new york, miami, phoenix,
6:47 am
detroit, indianapolis and more. they case houses, break in, take cash, collectibles and jewelry. >> i can tell you we have a significant increase in burglaries from organized groups that are outside this country. >> so why are they so effective using fake i.d.s, existing police d databases are useless. high-end jamming devices disable home security system. most sheriffs don't hold and d.a.s don't prosecute residential property crime. why now? chile is the only latin american country whose residents can enter as tourists without a visa. no criminal background check. >> american theft groups are abusing the visa waiver program and sending criminals to burglarize my constituents. >> police say chile needs to better cooperate with the u.s. or lose the waiver status. yesterday the state department said it is up to cbp to approve
6:48 am
tourists who enter the u.s. >> u.s. customs and border protection officials at ports of entry have broad statutory authority to conduct inspections and permit or deny admission. >> d.a. has filed a lawsuit against the state department demanding more information what chile is or is not doing to stop the criminals from boarding flights. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: turns out generation z is the most pessimistic voters in america today. 73% of those under the age of 30 are not satisfied where things are going and they plan to speak out about it come november. among them is isabelle brown. independent content creator and author of the end of the alphabet. how gen z can save america. a couple things. fox polling shows this. 25 maybe 27 and under.
6:49 am
so choice for president joe biden 45%, donald trump 51%. look at this survey. do you have confidence between the age of 18 and 25 and keep focus on the green bar, okay? do you have confidence in the supreme court? only 28%, right? congress is 34%. executive branch is 37% and hardly any confidence in the press at a whopping 52%. why are those green bars so high, isabell? >> it speaks back to what you said. over 70% of young americans today are feeling very hopeless, pessimistic by the people who have been pulling the levers of power in the united states and every pillar of american culture, entertainment, media, politics, education and everything in between. good news is we're not stepping back to fight it. we're stepping up to the plate to take back the driver's seat and bring back traditional values in a fun new age way. >> dana: i'm impressed with the
6:50 am
