standard of probable cause. >> something as innocent as taking a piece of paper can land you in hot water because there is a probable cause to think that you were trying to take a government document. so probable cause in today's world often can just be used as an excuse to arrest a critic. >> she also says the ruling in sylvia's favor could immediately affect other high-profile cases including the recent verdict favor leticia games against the nra in new york and the desantis action against disney in florida. as for sylvia, she says she is done with politics in castle hills. but hopes her case helps protect free speech everywhere else. >> freedom of speech is a very important thing that we have in our country and we should be able to use it. >> use it, she says, without fear or favor. back to you, dana and bill. >> bill: good story.

we'll see what happens at scotus as we say. thank you. >> dana: fox news alert now. americans are heading to the polls in five states and while it appears president biden will be facing off against former president trump in november the down ballot races could tip the balance of control in the house or senate. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." every tuesday is election day. i'm dana pererino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. today's election headliner a high profile primary in ohio. trying to flip a seat in the senate by republicans. former president trump supporting bernie moreno but testing the power of his endorsement in a state where trump won by eight points four years ago. >> dana: mark meredith is live in bay village, ohio. tell us what will happen there today. >> you can see voting is underway right here behind me happening throughout the day today. the big headline is that there is no main frontrunner in

today's senate primary. as you mentioned, former president trump is looming large over this race. him and the maga base trying to push one candidate overall 57 years bernie moreno is a columbian immigrant who made a fortune in ohio in the car selling business and briefly ran for senate back in 2022 for the seat held by j.d. vance. trump rallied for him and the candidate said he would be one of trump's biggest backers. >> moreno for united states senate if you want an america first conservative that will do the things that they campaigned on. >> meantime some democrats also pushing moreno's candidacy. a democratic pac airing ads. democrats think he may be the more beatable candidate come november. mike dewine who is endorsing state senator doleian says it is concerned democrats are meddling

in the primary in ohio. dolan is the party's best shot retaking the st currently held by sherod brown. >> the polls clearly show matt dolan has the best chance of winning. interesting the democrats think the same thing. >> ohio secretary of state frank la rose on the senate bid urging voters to look at his record and time in the u.s. army. he admits it is an uphill battle. he is not as wealthy as his two main components. a lot on the line. the focus will be on how trump's endorsement did or did not impact this race. you can see the polls are own. we have to wait more hours to find out who the winner is. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: let's show you what is happening in ohio as mark pointed out. frank la rose is the secretary of state. appears to have an uphill climb. we'll see if that's the case today.

moreno is the one that got trump's endorsement. conservative republicans in ohio getting behind matt dolan. look for a close race later tonight. sherod brown has been pretty effective in the buckeye state. any one of these republicans has a chance to knock him off because ohio, you know i'm old enough to remember 2012 when ohio was a battleground state. look what happened in 2020. donald trump was an easy winner in ohio by eight points. he did the same thing four years earlier against hillary clinton winning ohio by eight points. it has become a state that is no longer that much of a battleground. it has become trump country in america and why is this seat so critical? you look at the margin of difference in the senate. every state senate race now come november will be critical to determine the balance of power. speaking of president trump, his team says he can't afford to pay a half billion dollar payment in new york. lydia hu is watching that from the newsroom in manhattan. what's up next, lydia?

>> well, lawyers for former president donald trump say he faces insur mountable difficulties in obtaining a bond to satisfy the $464 million civil fraud judgment and the deadline for the bond quickly approaching now less than one week away. his lawyers say he has been turned away from 30 insurance companies and asked the court to anticipate a lesser amount, 100 million which the attorney general's office opposed. lawyers asked the court to waive the bond's requirement. if the court denies that attorney general james can start moving to seize the former president's assets regardless of their location. she has already mentioned 40 wall street. that's not the only piece of real estate she could target. new york city alone has a handful of properties to finance his bond including his penthouse home at trump tower and go outside of the state of new york

and try to seize properties like mar-a-lago, the president's florida home. former president trump writing this today. i shouldn't have to put up any money being forced by the corrupt judge and attorney general until the end of the appeal. that's the way the system works. for some context there they are requiring appealing a party to post a bond is not unusual. those are the rules. what concerns many in this case is the amount of the judgment and the fact that leticia james campaigned to go after him. that's why the "wall street journal" editorial board wrote the judgment is overkill and people doing business in the state of new york should be worried. >> bill: thank you, lydia for all that. lydia hu in new york city. >> dana: kellyanne conway, former senior advisor to president trump and fox news contributor. i want to show everybody to remind everyone about leticia james planning all this back in 2018. watch here. >> i will never be afraid to

challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake. >> we need to focus on donald trump and his abuses. important everyone understand the days of donald trump are coming to an end. i look forward in going into the office of attotorney general evy day suing him, defending your rights and then going home. >> dana: kellyanne conway. i was surprised to understand that somebody has to put up a bond before they can appeal. i now have been educated on that and understand it a little more. why do you think 30 insurance companies, though, have turned him down? >> it does show a good faith effort dana and bill on president trump's part to try to secure the bond and i think it's largely because these companies, as i understand it, usually want liquid assets, marketable securities as collateral, not

real estate. and we know that i'm glad you showed leticia james. it is very important to see it was not one slip of the tongue in one interview on the fly. this was a deliberate effort to take down president trump. if you can't beat him at the polls or can't prosecute him in other cases you try to bankrupt him. look, these bonds do happen but i was reading from a bond expert just this morning that they conventionally happen when you are dealing with a public company, not a private company or not an individual a bond of this size. the president has made a good faith effort . i want to go back to something he has said very recently. he should have been in the commercial division and had a jury of his peers and be allowed to appeal. can i give you $1 hundred million out of the $454 million and she said no. she hasn't been reasonable at any turn. someone is politically motivated

not legally motivated in james. the judge himself for this judge to have valued mar-a-lago at $18 million. doral country club and properties at a lower number than they're clearly worth and then say we have to disgeorge your ill gotten gains and you can afford this when he is trying to value some of his major properties lower than they are makes no sense. i think his people have a good case on appeal. >> bill: andy mccarthy said we are a long way from getting this thing settled. barack obama was meeting with u.k. prime minister. no big deal. former president having a high level meeting and that and the headline. obama would be jealous how biden's rivalry shapes his presidency and the obama people thought biden would suck as president and didn't think he would be organized enough to execute. i think it's natural to compete in life just like in politics.

but what do you think of what appears to be a competition between these two men? >> terrible for joe biden who is failing. p overall job approval. ability, agility, acuity, just the capacity to do the job. when you overlay that with the most popular democrat barack obama and people going after his former number two it is bad for this. i think seems to me president obama has been distancing himself from biden for a long time. he told the democrat famously major newspapers reported at the time don't underestimate the ability of joe biden to screw this up. he used a different word but i will say screw it up and told him when joe biden was thinking of running you don't need to do this. "the new york times" reported that back in 2019 and nobody denied it five years later. i think rivalries could be healthy but odd to me that president obama wouldn't want his former vice president to

succeed and say joe biden is running the third term of obama-biden. that's not true. states that obama-biden carried twice like florida, north carolina, iowa, ohio are gone. they are much more ruby red now and president trump carried them twice, probably would again the third time. so for all the people who say i think obama, michelle obama, obama people are running the white house. i disagree. joe biden is running the white house and see why obama is trying to distance himself. we have one president at a time when it comes to foreign policy and national security. even during the transition after trump won and while obama was still president i was on tv daily saying we have one esident at a time. obama is still the commander-in-chief and try to be respectful. what is president obama doing at downey street. helping with crises and chaos around the globe that his former vice president help add to he should be talking about ukraine, israel. or in haiti. downing street.

>> bill: or make a trip to the white house. we'll speak soon. thank you for coming on today. >> dana: if you want more politics my latest episode podcast drops today. >> bill: chaotic scenes in haiti are becoming more common case. gang violence has sent the country in turmoil creating a mad dash for americans trying to get out. it is meeting with adoption agencies today after several american parents remain separated from their adopted children trapped in that country. we spoke to one of those couples yesterday and they called on the u.s. state department to act fast. >> most of these children are already legally adopted and our children are legally adopted and what the state department is currently asking for is absurd when haiti is on the verge of collapse. the department of state is the central authority and the

haitian government will take the lead from our state department on this. the planes are coming to rescue some americans but they are not rescuing our legally adopted children. >> bill: those parents telling us their children are living in fear in an orphanage as gun violence rings through the streets today. >> i think it's politics at its worst. eventually biden would get weak need in his support for israel and sadly we see it play out as we head into an election year. >> dana: make waltz on mornings with maria slamming democrats for turning their back on israel saying it's about election year politics. >> bill: immigrants who came to our country legally join us today. what they think about the millions of migrants being allowed to illegally cross the border today. >> dana: eric adams accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a vacant lot while still wearing a police badge. in you details revealed in a $5 million lawsuit which the mayor strongly denies insisting it never happened.

>> dana: new details about new york city mayor add amounts alleged sexual assault. the accuser claimed the mayor is a predator after going to him for help serving as a cop in the transit bureau. alexis mcadams joins us. it happened in 1993. >> she had some graphic details in this lawsuit. a lot of people are trying to see what happens next. the woman we're talking about. lauren beach. she came to eric adams for career help and he asked for a sexual favor in return. according to the 26-page complaint the allegations stem back from 1993 when adams was a transit come and high ranking member of the guardians association, an organization that fought for black law enforcement members.

beach who was administrative aide asked help to get promoted. he offered to drive her home but took her to a vacant parking lot and demanded oral sex. when she said no adams forced her to touch him. we'll highlight this part. she says adams ended up revealing himself not to be the guardian but a predator. adams has denied this claims previously. >> i believe in the law. i think it should be used and not abused. and when you look at this specific incident that impacts me, i stated over and over again it is not who i am. those of you who have covered me and who know me, i'm a protector. i would not harm someone. >> it is not just the mayor fighting back against this but the council responding saying while we reviewed this complaint the mayor denies these outrageous allegations and events described here. we expect full vindication in

court. this is not the first lawsuit filed by beach. court records show she filed against american airlines, school board in mooichl and against a florida casino. they were dismissed by a judge. she is requesting a jury trial and not just suing adams here but the nypd and guardian association. she is going after a lot of people here. have to see how it all plays out. >> bill: knives are out. thank you for that here in new york. president biden and netanyahu are speaking for the first time in a month. one takeaway. israel will send a delegation to washington in the coming days to talk about its planned defensive on rafah. israeli government spokesman is with me. thank you for your time and good morning or good afternoon to you in jerusalem today. you heard what chuck schumer said last week. what was the tone of this conversation between the president and netanyahu. >> the conversation was -- thank you for having me on. the conversation was

constructive. a conversation between friends who understand the war aims in our war, to destroy hamas, to bring out more hostages and insure that gaza doesn't pose a threat to israel anymore. the president said from day one that he backed those war aims. the question now is what happens with rafah. it's the last four of the 24 hamas terrorist battalions. our position is very clear. we need to destroy the last four battalions of hamas to win the war. if we don't do that we won't win the war. they'll rearm and we'll be back to october 6th reality. we'll plow on. we're happy to discuss tactics and strategy with our friends as always. >> bill: joe biden historically has been a big supporter of israel. do you think that's changing right now? >> i would certainly hope not. i won't make the mistake of

wading into internal american politics. what i can say is that president biden has got a long history, as you said, of standing with israel and we would hope that that would continue. >> bill: okay. there is a report several hours ago that dozens of hamas fighters are trapped or killed at that all shifa hospital in gaza city. is that true at this moment? >> what i can tell you is that hamas continues to use hospitals, mosques, u.n. facilities as human shields. we went in with a precision operation into the shifa hospital. you remember we had to do the same back in january. we have taken out 50 terrorists. we have made 180 arrests. and including taking out a very senior terrorist who was responsible for much of the internal security, much of the operations across gaza.

so we'll continue to work against this genocidal hamas regime that seeks to kill all jews in israel and around the world. we have no other choice. >> bill: you can confirm that report. you said 50. >> 50 terrorists have been taken out. 180 arrests. >> bill: okay. the negotiations for hostages to return to israel. those who are still alive today, those negotiations will pick back up this week as you know. hamas wants to choose which prisoners will be released and they want a permanent cease-fire. israel wants an advance list of the hostages who are alive and deport the palestinian prisoners who were released to another countrtry meaning they would no go back to gaza, i would assume. what is the state -- how would you characterize the negotiations right now? >> you understand there are lives at stake. i can't even confirm what you just put up on the screen. what i can say is that israel is

committed to bringing back the 134 israeli hostages. it is a crime against humanity. what we have learned from the past, we've already fought for the hostages. what works is military pressure. we're keeping up that military pressure against hamas. they understand that we mean business. that we're looking to destroy hamas. we will destroy hamas and at the same time using all the diplomatic channels available to us to insure the swift release. hamas could end this war today. let's be very clear. hamas could end the war today if they put their hands in the air and unconditionally surrendered and released the hostages. i don't see that happening any time soon so we'll go on with our mission to destroy them. >> bill: how many are alive, do you have a number? >> so as of yesterday unfortunately i believe the number is 99 out of 134. we knomas has not only taken

people not only snatched bodies but also killed hostages while they were holding them. so it is a brutal terrorist organization that must be destroyed and we thank you for your support. you as america in our continued fight. >> bill: hope to get a resolution soon. thank you for your time and for coming on today. dana. >> dana: peter doocy asked national security advisor jake sullivan about reports that were on nbc news of president biden losing his temper over the isly war. >> when president biden was told his handling of the war between israel and hamas was starting to affect his poll numbers the quote is he began to shout and swear. when he does that, is he shouting and swearing about netanyahu or about hamas or about his poll numbers? >> this is the when did you stop beating your spouse question. i don't think he ever did that. and -- you use that as a premise of your question which is when

he does that. i've never seen him do that shout or swear in response to that. >> dana: we should point out many news organizations have reported about the president's fiery temper in the past and the current white house actually lets those stories get out there so you can understand how feisty and with it he actually is. you can make up your own mind there. ♪ i should have been a cowboy ♪ >> bill: ga got a good one for you today. country music hall of fame announcing the inductees. elvis presley guitarist james burton. the late toby keith. a good class. >> dana: the late toby keith is still fresh in nashville. i heard in a lot of bars as you walked by a lot of toby keith is being played and will be

>> bill: 10:32 in new york. constitutionman cory mills amounceing his team conducted a new rescue bringing home 13 americans out of haiti. mills is an army veteran and momber of the house armed services committee. remember what he did a week ago. brought ten americans out of haiti a week ago. a well-known author was one of them and doing this on his own dime. this is a very impressive american politician who is putting his money where his

mouth is and where his effort is as well. and he had started this nonprofit before running for congress. when he won a seat he had to divest himself of that. it is cranking now and cory mills is doing great work. >> dana: they are safe and that's good. many more to go. president biden's border policies had a surge of illegal immigration. how is that prompting out rage amongst americans who came to this country legally. joining me now is mohammed who immigrated from pakistan and a a person who immigrated from germany. you saw you a couple weeks ago. i wanted to talk about this. it is not easy to become an american citizen. the process takes a long time and you get approval. you did it in a way that was very methodical and very patient. you are im patient at this point because of the backlog and what is happening at the southern

border means somebody like your wife is stuck and she can't be with you. tell us what you are going through. >> we might have lost his audio. let's see. while we -- mohammed? >> yeah. sorry about that. so as you said initially, i followed the law and it took me nearly 20 years for me to become a citizen. i applied for my wife in march of 2020 and four years later every time the government has asked for a piece of paper we have provided it in a week or less, and every time the response has been nothing but silence and now it has gotten to the point where i have written to my congressman, my senator, i've written to the white house and all of those channels that are supposed to be available to

law abiding americans have been exhausted to me. so here i am. >> dana: as i understand you and your wife have decided to put having a family on hold because she can't be here and you spend a lot of money to try to go to visit her. i'm sure that's also heartbreaking, too. you would like to get on with your life. >> exactly. it is not just kids, right? it is memories we're not making. vacations we're not taking. it is a life that we're not getting to live together and it is beyond that it's thousands of dollars in tickets and having to run two households. it is not cheap, and i get no sympathy when i write to my congressman or my senator or to anybody in a position of power. >> dana: do you know who your congressman is? >> my congressman is jim mcgovern. >> dana: tell me about your story and frustration with what you see at the southern border.

>> yes, good morning, dana. i am very angry, upset, i'm sad and disappointed how this can happen in america. i was married to an american soldier and had to fill out tons of paperwork, paid lots of money, spent many, many hours to fill out paperwork to come with him when we got transferred to the states. and he left. i was still waiting for my paperwork. once it finally came, i came to california in 1989, received my resident alien card and then started working on my citizenship, which was another lot of money, a lot of time, resources, just to prove that i am worthy to be here. and in february of 1996 i became an american citizen. >> dana: we are glad that you are. i want to show you guys a number here. this is the share of green card

applicants by case outcome. so we are looking at a backlog of over almost 13 million right there admitted percentage is 3.8 million. mohammed when you see the border being so open, i just wonder what you think about our system right here. do you think that when people are overseas looking at this saying america is an easy mark we might as well go over there. do we realize it is hurting people like you who have stood in line to get here and do the right thing? >> so it not only hurts the people who make that choice that come here illegally. it hurts the rest of the country, right? it is a breakdown in our law and order based society that, you know, immigrants have come to value. it is different from the old world. it is the value that the new world brings and then this just

represents a breakdown in that contract of citizenship that we make, which is we'll follow the law and good things will follow. >> dana: sabina, right now it shows immigration is the number one issue, that tracks with other polls as well. the last minute we have, the illegal immigration happening on the southern border has hurt you in yet a personal way if you could share that with everyone. >> my only child, my beautiful son, dominic, was killed by an illegal alien on july 12th, 2012, and legal immigration would save lives on both sides. the people that die on the way over here and the many american lives that are lost because of illegal immigration. it is 100% preventable. there doesn't need to be crime by any illegal. i came the right way and all i have of my family is my son's

ashes. people need to start speaking up. this is now affecting everybody everywhere in the united states. i don't care where you live and it has to stop and our government has really got to get it together and i don't want to hear from another angel family. i don't want to hear another angel mom crying while telling me her story. >> dana: you have a beautiful child there and sorry for your loss. for both of you, thank you for coming on. mohammed we hope you get answers from congressman mcgovern's office or the state department. >> bill: strong people. >> dana: look at how many people are here in that situation looking at this going i'm trying to do it the right way. people coming across an getting the asylum and walking across with the suitcase. it is not true with everybody. when you see bill melugin here comes another group coming through, the neck pillow one killed me. >> bill: hung onto every word

they said. >> dana: we would love to hear from them. >> bill: west coast d.a. is emerging as one of the toughest prosecutors on fentanyl and trying a new thing. he is doing it in a state where this has been prevalent. he will join us next right here. part of my journey is responding to looks. we have to look out for each other. we have to take care of each other. dance is my safe space. i am autistic and i am a performer. and i'm really good at it. once we're in our own space and we get to create that space, it's really fun. i am here because i have seen women do it. if you can see her, you can be her. our clients love these. you have got to read the testimonials. listen. the proper annuity used correctly can be a tremendous tool to help you achieve financial security. here are the benefits. stock market growth, protection against market losses,

>> bill: prosecutors in one county in california cracking down on drug pushers filing murder charges against suppliers tied to fentanyl overdose deaths. this is riverside county. d.a. is behind all of this. said to be the first prosecutor in california to get a guilty verdict in a fentanyl homicide trial. you've charged 34 people so far. the eastern edge of l.a. out to

palm springs. how is this effort -- how do you think it could change things, sir? >> well first of all we're facing a crisis, fentanyl flooding into california coming in the form of counterfeit pills and powder that's finding itself into all other drugs. so we have -- our community is being devastated. as recently as 2016 we had two fentanyl related deaths. in 2023 we had 525. we're responding to a crisis, first of all. you know, i believe strongly that people who peddle this poison. it is a poison. should be held accountable for those deaths. we've charged people with murder under what's called implied malice in california. it is a law that has been used for decades to deal with people who drive drunk and kill someone. so it has been confirmed by the california supreme court. we're taking this model and

applying it to the furnishing and dealing of this deadly poison fentanyl. >> bill: i'm curious about how you go after the pushers practically speaking. do you work through the victims to track them down? >> we do. so we're partnered with our police agencies, sheriff's department has created a task force. we investigate in this county every single fentanyl-related death as a potential homicide. so not all of them are murders. some of them are manslaughters, but i think the point is clear we want the message to go out to those who deal and those who furnish this poison in this county you'll be held accountable for the people you cut down and kill. >> bill: i wish you all the success in the world. california doesn't have a state law. you are working around that. >> right. >> bill: some people are critical in the state saying we tried the strategy back in the 1990s, no reason to go back to

it. it is 2024. what would you say to them? >> i think that's nonsense. they like to go back and say well this is just a failed war on drugs. look, this is not the war on drugs. this is responding to specific cases of victims who are being killed. many of them don't know they are taking fentanyl. they are buying a pill that has been produced with fentanyl and think it is something else. granted they shouldn't be buying a pill but they are losing their life over taking half of a pill they think is oxy or percocet and the people doing this know exactly what they're doing and making money off it. so for that, they need to be held accountable and we are going to do everything we can under the law to bring justice to these families that are losing their loved ones. >> bill: you are 34 ant counting. good luck to you. if you are successful you might get the attention of sacramento. thank you for your time, the d.a. in riverside county.
