everybody off. they lost a billion half dollars in sales. marketing expert we talked to says it handled it about as wrongly as they could. >> once they did that partnership, if they had stuck with it, if they had said no, we support everybody and if you like bud light we like you and embrace that, they then could have used that to get other people to stand up for the brand. >> i leave you with this one, dana. only north america is where sales took a hit. south america, europe, middle east, africa, asia, their sales are up in all locations except here at home, their biggest market. >> dana: jeff flock, thank you. interesting. fox news alert for you right now convicted murderer alex murdaugh is back in the south carolina courtroom facing punishment for stealing millions of dollars from his client and his law firm. welcome to a new hour of
7:01 am
"america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning on this easter monday. we have seen too much of this guy, haven't we. >> dana: like a bad penny. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer, good morning, everybody. 55 years old. disbarred attorney serving a life sentence without parole in a state prison for killing his wife and son. today's hearing in federal court where prosecutors want to revoke the plea agreement on 22 federal charges to pave the way for a stiffer sentence. jonathan serry has more. >> he keeps reappearing in court. today alex murdaugh expected to be sentenced on 22 federal charges involving financial crimes. but prosecutors want to rescind their plea agreement which would have allowed the disbeard attorney to serve his federal sentence while currently serving a 27-year state sentence for similar financial crimes. according to their motion the
7:02 am
government believed murdaugh had not been fully truthful as required under the plea agreement despite numerous interview sessions. the government gave him every opportunity to be fully truthful and forthright. murdaugh's lawyers say an f.b.i. polygraph examiner confused their client with strange questions and told him he had recently tested another high-profile criminal. vander slot, the killer of natalee holloway. whether the government intentionally manipulated the results to void the plea agreement and ensure he is never a free man again. murdaugh is already serving two life sentences for the shootings of his wife and son but continues to fight for a new trial. >> you can game out a scenario where he could possibly someday get out of prison if the murder
7:03 am
convictions are reversed. if they stick the man is in there for double life. >> and that, bill, is why both sides are paying so much attention to today's sentencing for his federal financial crimes. back to you. >> bill: thank you, jonathan serrie in charleston, south carolina today. thank you. >> my son will grow up without his father. i will grow old without my husband. how many more police officers and families need to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them? >> dana: emotional plea from the widow of jonathan diller. one of the two suspects in his death is due in court later today. nate foye joins us with more. nate. >> dana, so in the past 15 minutes the queens district attorney's office tells us lynndie jones, the man driving the car during officer jonathan
7:04 am
diller's murder will appear in court at 2:15 this afternoon being held without bail and again this comes on the one week anniversary of officer jonathan diller's murder. look at the suspect here. he has a lengthy criminal history. lynndie jones is facing weapons charges and arrested over a dozen times. jones illegally parked his car at a bus stop in queens when his passenger shot and killed officer diller. friends and family laid the 31-year-old officer to rest on saturday in long island. estimated 10,000 people attended his funeral including mayor adams and his widow and 1-year-old son he leaves behind. >> i am so proud that thousands of people across the country are calling jonathan a hero. the truth is, he has always been a hero to ryan and me. the rest of the world is just catching up. >> stephanie diller also said more needs to be done to protect police officers in new york. the man police say shot and killed her husband, guy rivera,
7:05 am
has been arrested at least 21 times, including for several felonies. that has many wondering why he was free in the first place. >> you have to wonder why these left wing politicians choose evil over good. that's what they're doing. they're choosing robbers and murderers over good people. people who are protecting our communities and it has to stop. i'm seeing it everywhere throughout our county where people are saying we've had enough. >> so rivera remains in the hospital. he will appear in court next coming up may 7th. as for jones, the man who will appear in court today, he has two separate hearings and one of them is for charges unrelated to officer diller's murder. send it back to you, dana. >> dana: keep us posted and we'll keep watching that this afternoon. >> bill: story that reverberates. a deli raising money for
7:06 am
diller's family. they are selling a sandwich in his honor they call the hero. >> dana: it sounds good. >> bill: for each sandwich purchase mario's meat market donates $5 to his widow and 1-year-old son ryan. >> dana: fox news alert. an el paso judge ordering the release of some of the migrants accused of staging a riot rushing the border in a wild stampede. that happened there. they broke through the barriers, trampled national guard troops. we want to get to the "new york post" texas reporter there when the riot happened. you are following this story closely. this is from the judge saying it is the ruling of the court that all the rioting participation cases will be released on their own recognizance.
7:07 am
what do you know about it and how do people feel about it where you live? >> it appears the only way these people will be kept in custody is if they are the federal immigration hold on their individual cases. but it appears that the federal government has been pretty mum here. these are all individuals on state charges . the state has pursued charges against 70 individuals. it is still trying to charge hundreds more. this is a real damper on their efforts here and makes me question had myself and james and our photographer not been down there recording this, i'm not sure what would have happened in this case. >> bill: he is saying the d.a. wasn't ready for the detention hearings. i don't know if that's the case or not. court was closed on friday for good friday. closed today for caeesar chavez day. how and when do we get an answer? >> exactly. we expect another one of these hearings today and the judge to
7:08 am
weigh in on other individuals that are charged. but again, i think this sends a message about how individuals who come here illegally get caught on camera doing this, get seen by 19 million people, and then we have this oncoming caravan coming. the judge here is saying this is the d.a.'s fault. the district attorney who was republican appointed, a republican appointed by texas governor greg abbott here, but again the individuals who have been charged here were caught on video. we all saw what happened. i saw it with my own eyes. and then, you know, of course they are released on their own recognizance. the judge is saying these people aren't a flight risk. >> dana: right. i was thinking about -- we talk about at nypd where we have prosecutors who are lacks. as a police officer you arrest
7:09 am
somebody and released the next day. more national guard troops are on the way. more than 700 national guard troops were surged to el paso after breaching the wire including 200 soldiers. texas tactical border force deployed to el paso this week. you mentioned the caravan that's coming up. we had a man on the show on friday and what he said about the caravan coming up. >> people need to understand when you see this caravan that's coming up through the nation's borders it is not necessarily going to be the entire caravan crossing at one area. the drug cartels, we've been saying for quite some time controls where the groups will cross. they will split the caravan apart and determine where these groups can get across. >> dana: people are watching all this. your camera was there for a stampede. you were able to see this and maybe one of the reasons the a.p. poll showed biden only has a 30% approval on immigration.
7:10 am
you have to wonder who those 30% are. what about the caravan? what are you hearing? do you agree with art they will be split up by the cartels? >> the cartels certainly take notice of these areas that are more porous and they see that migrants get released in certain areas more than others and they see where texas has beefed up their enforcement operations in el paso and they will make decisions based on that. art is absolutely correct with that. also take note of any previous situations. this riot, the other situation that happened in el paso that i think we're forgetting about that wasn't caught on camera, rivera, the alleged -- the brother of the alleged murder of rile' assaulted a border patrol agent and released after that. another case of someone who was violent towards border authorities and this is what happened to him. that was the result. so again, they are continuing to
7:11 am
see where they can push the boundaries. that individual absconded from alternatives to detention as well. he was only tracked down because they were looking for his brother after laken riley's murder. >> dana: where did they find him? >> he was in atlanta and this was only after identifying him as someone who looked like his brother at the time and found that he was using, you know, a fake license at the time. but he was released after allegedly assaulting a border patrol agent. >> bill: mentioned the d.a. is a republican appointed by abbott. the poll, four in ten democrats -- democrats disapprove what w the administration's policy on the border. interesting to see whether you find that in your reporting. thank you for coming on today. we could spend more time. thank you. how a car chase on u.s. soil said to be showing the hand of russia.
7:12 am
behind havana syndrome. is vladimir putin tied to these mysterious attacks on u.s. diplomats? >> dana: the connection between chronic absenteeism and juvenile crime. it is a trend sounding alarms. >> bill: tens of thousands of protestors in israel rallying against the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. they want those hostages home. are his days as israel's longest serving leader numbered? we'll have a closer look at that in a moment with mike pompeo. newday to pay off credit card debt that's been piling up. many were shocked to learn they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year.

saturday night in dallas lost control and that caused a six-car collision. he is -- they are looking for him right now. >> bill: in the meantime, d.c. considering a plan to hold parents accountable if their kids skip school. recent reviews show that 60% of the city's high school students were chronically absent last year. that's making people worry the teens are out stirring trouble. clay travis has a few kids of his own and has a take in a moment. first the news and mike emanuel who reports from washington. >> washington, d.c. mayor says she wants to hold parents accountable if their children are skipping school on a regular basis. it does not mean throwing parents in jail suggesting there is a way of tightening up the system. this after three girls between 12 and 13 years old allegedly beat a disabled 64-year-old man to death after chasing him down an alley. investigators say the girls stomped him to death and all
7:19 am
three have longstanding truancy issues. the judge in the case noting one of the suspects had not attended a single day of class this year. this morning the d.c. mayor insisted some of the action taken by city leadership on overall crime is having an impact. >> we move an emergency piece of legislation last summer when we recognized some pretty disturbing climb trends making them permanent is driving down crime in d.c. violent down is down. use of a gun is down. >> violent crime has gotten congress's attention. >> we've seen a lack of enforcement, police demoralized as a result of that and make sure they have the resources they need to washington, d.c. and then the political leaders here need to have the political courage to be tough on crime.
7:20 am
>> regarding the new crime of skipping school here in washington, d.c. it's not clear if the new proposal will have actual teeth. >> bill: mike emanuel in washington. more now. >> dana: outkick founder clay travis. this amazing on chronic absenteeism before and after covid. before it was around 13 to 15%. not good. after covid, 26 or 28%. no wonder we have problems, clay. >> i've got three boys and like many parents out there who went through covid with school closures, with remote learning, which certainly is an oxymoron if you look at the data what cost come out since. we sent a message school didn't matter and it was a choice whether or not you would go. it is hard for kids and parents to take any other lesson from
7:21 am
shutting down schools in march and leaving them shut down for much of the next school year for many different places out there. the data which even "the new york times" is finally getting around to carry is something that many of us have argued for years, which was the schools that had the poorest and most disadvantaged schools were the most likely, the students the most poor and disadvantaged were the most likely forced to stay out of school the longest. the schools failed the kids, the teachers unions failed the kids and frankly political leaders of both parties who didn't insist that all schools remain open, i think it will be seen as the biggest public policy failure of any of our lives in the 21st century. a vietnam for this generation. the scary thing is we're talking about lost learning that is going to cost this country trillions and trillions of dollars. and i don't know that some of these kids will ever catch up. as you are seeing based on that
7:22 am
data, 60% of d.c. kids being chronically absent in d.c. area public schools? that's an unheard of number and reflective of the message we sent when we shut down schools and told kids they didn't have to go and tried to make remote learning seem like a viable alternative. >> dana: also the absenteeism of teachers across the country is way up as well. you have a problem. all of those problems. wanted to ask you about this. the headline caught my eye. why not sell major league baseball teams to their fans? here is a net worth of d.c. area sports teams. the wizards, commanders, $6 billion and 3.5 billion and nationals 2 billion. good idea, bad idea? >> i think the owners don't want to sell the team because they like the long-term value associated with it. there is probably a play you could spend some portion of the
7:23 am
valuation off as the atlanta braves are a publicly traded team and if you are a braves fan like i am you can go buy stock in the team. i think there is probably a value proposition there where you float 20% or so of a pro-sports league. they are talking interestingly about private equity being able to come in instead of individual owners, which is pretty much what most teams are owned by individuals. and allowing private equity to run up the values. the larger scorey. a lot of franchises are selling at high prices the business is not necessarily great in terms of return on capital. it is when you sell the team. these are basically like major art works now and billionaires who want to buy that portrait and hang off their wall. most sports franchises don't make a lot of money in terms of a year to year basis. >> dana: look all i learned just now because i saw an article in
7:24 am
the paper. have a great week. >> have a great week as well. >> bill: nick cannon may have been the busiest easter bunny and here to tell you why. the host celebrating easter with all 12 of his children. he made it to see each one of them and shared the photos, festivities on instagram. one busy cat. >> dana: in many ways apparently. kind of like a busy rabbit. >> bill: i would say. a little busy rabbit, right? >> dana: i'm glad they all got to see him. >> bill: hopping down the bunny trail. >> dana: that's great. >> bill: there you have it. >> they need america's support but they will go into rafah to get rid of hamas. i will work hard to get these hostages home. i think the biden administration and democrats change their tune.

>> dana: it all started with a car case. russia is behind halve yeah syndrome. officers found banking documents, russian passport and hi-tech gear following this chase in key west, florida four years ago. f.b.i. agent describes the debilitating condition that has hit so many u.s. officials around the world. >> it was a high pitched drilling noise and it knocked me forward. immediately felt pressure and pressure and pain started coursing from inside my right ear down my jaw and down my neck
7:31 am
and into my chest. >> dana: it gets its name from the cuban capital. the first case was detected eight years ago. a long report on 60 minutes they did in conjunction with two other entities and a lot of people wondered if havana syndrome has been a made up in people's minds. now they are connecting all these dots and saying there might be something there. >> bill: interesting story. >> dana: upsetting to see what these people have gone through. >> bill: this from tel aviv. [chanting and shouting] >> bill: you had massive protests erupting across israel. the families of many of the hostages joining those calling for a cease-fire in one of the most forceful demonstrations since the war began putting new pressure on the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu after six months of war against hamas. former secretary of state mike pompeo, fox news contributor. nice to have you back on the program and thank you for being here today.
7:32 am
netanyahu is in the hospital set for release tomorrow on tuesday being treated now for hernia. this is what he said on sunday on not giving an inch to hamas. >> i am doing everything and will do everything to bring our loved ones home. if we don't stand together to rebuffet tax, then nobody else will do it for us. if we give into another demand every two days, will this bring about a deal? this is the opposite of the truth. it would paralyze negotiations for freeing our hostages. >> bill: you have two stories here. the folks in the streets and you know what their position is, anr who has shown that he is not turning his back on this fight in gaza. to you then what gives, if anything, here? >> well, bill, i think what we've seen even in the last few days with them taking some 500 plus terrorists out of when hospital. think about this. a hospital we take for granted
7:33 am
when we hear about this 500 terrorists out of a hospital in gaza we realize the fight is not over. hamas isn't yet defeated and the central task. if you are going to get hostages back, the only way to do it is to put pressure on hamas and iran. anything else will show weakness, more hostages taken. we shouldn't forget we watched these protests and sometimes here at home forget there are americans that continue to be held there. while we're all focused on the americans held in russia and elsewhere, we need to remember there are still americans held by the iranians in gaza and putting pressure on hamas, not letting u.n. resolutions pass that call for cease fires. that's a u.s. mistake. not allowing hamas to confiscate food that's being delivered there and use it for their own purposes encourage hamas to continue their war. they need to be defeated, bill. the only answer to getting these people home. >> bill: you mentioned the shifa hospital in northern part of
7:34 am
gaza city the center of a lot of action over the last couple of weeks. former prime minister bennett sent this tweet out a few hours ago talking about 6,000 civilians evacuated. he talked about 200 hamas terrorists killed. 500 hamas terrorists captured and 0 civilian deaths. that's what the israeli position is. we have not heard what the hamas position is. but what he went on to say is this is unprecedented in urban warfare. you are an army man, you understand it better than most. how do you interpret the operation that is still, well, wrapped up as of now because the israeli forces pulled back in the last 24 hours? >> we've seen this when our young men and women were infighting. urban warfare is very difficult.
7:35 am
this is an amazing accomplishment to get 500 terrorists captured and kill a couple hundred more and have that much minimal collateral damage is a remarkable fete. they are doing their level best to defeat hamas while hamas is trying to put civilians in the way of the line of fire. i guess one other thought as i watched what happened in that hospital. imagine that just two weeks ago let alone two months ago there had been a cease-fire. that we had all weakened to the pro-hamas part of the democrat party and said let's just hang it up and put down our weapons and call it good. those 500, 700, 900 terrorists would perform october 7th all over again. that would put even more americans at risk. only one way through the fire here and to continue to attack and to continue to take out that infrastructure and then for the united states to support the
7:36 am
israelis in this important undertaking. >> bill: you think there is a role for u.s. forces in gaza or is it a pipe dream? >> no, i don't see a role for u.s. forces. frankly, no one neither the israelis nor the gulf arab states have asked for that yet. i don't think that will make sense. there will be a solution to this. that solution can be contemplated once hamas and iran have been defeated. >> bill: thank you, sir. we'll talk later in the week. mike pompeo. >> have a good day. >> bill: thank you for coming on. >> dana: biden administration is unlikely to reimpose oil sanctions on venezuela since it may cause gas prices to skyrocket and exacerbate the surge of venezuelan migrants on the border. this is where they landed. gillian turner is live at the state department to tell us definitively. >> so officials here are concerned if they revert to trump-era sanctions policies to tamp down on venezuela's oil
7:37 am
industry it will prompt higher gas prices at home and spur more illegal migration. >> we allowed a generalizeens to expire and not be renewed. one for gold and big one for oil. we'll watch the maduro's actions and making determinations how we will proceed. >> venezuelan president maduro is up for re-election in july openly blocking political opponents from running. he is clinging to hopes for another term. the trump administration imposed a lot of sanctions known as the maximum pressure campaign meant to cripple his regime and empower political opposition inside the country. those sanctions are subsequently been lifted. state department officials insist they have not yet made a final decision about what they are going to do. >> we have been very clear with the maduro and his representatives what we expect them to take wand the consequences could be if they don't. >> bill: the biden
7:38 am
administration worries limiting venezuelan oil exports could jack up prices at the pump for american voters and propel more mass migration from venezuelan migrants to the u.s. so officials here, dana, have until mid month, april 18th, in order to make the final decision whether or not to reimpose those sanctions. we're learning from sources that the administration believes they are in violation of this thing known as the barbados agreement and pressuring them behind the scenes to come back in compliance with that. whether they make any progress we don't know. >> dana: april 18th we'll have our eyes on the target. >> bill: thanks. convicted killer alex murdaugh in court facing a federal judge set to strike the gavel on his financial crimes. the climate crusader coming for

>> dana: around a section of highway one collapse owed over the weekend. chucks of asphalt sent into the ocean after a stretch of heavy rainfall. they got pounded over the weekend. drivers were stranded. to they urge commuters to avoid the area. beautiful but dangerous spot. >> bill: still looks great. you are right. this could be the last time convicted killer alex murdaugh is seen in the courtroom.
7:45 am
he was convicted of stealing millions from clients in his law firm. former federal prosecutor is with us today. good morning. you are on a case in north dakota. appreciate your time. i don't know if it's the last time we see him. this guy is such a cagey cat, been wired into the law of south carolina all his life. knows everybody who lives and works in that state. we're doing specials on the menendez brothers now think they might get a new trial sometime soon. what do you think of murdaugh today? >> in addition to the murder he spent over decade engaged in profound fraud. no surprise he failed a polygraph and now the department of justice wants to withdraw from their promise in the plea deal. now we have the sentencing where he was supposed to have a sentence with a concurrent sentence if his murder charge was overturned have him walking
7:46 am
out of jail in a decade or so. the judge could sentence him to hundreds of years of jail. i don't think he is ever getting out. >> dana: they're going back and forth now. the judge said -- defense said that murdaugh has credit with the court. i don't know exactly what he means. right now with financial crimes and the conviction he is looking at getting out in 2045. to bill's point we might not see him again. any other appeal that he would have in this case? >> people have said his appeal on the murder charge is something that has some potential grounds to it. i think people are afraid the murder charge is ultimately overturned and he could return to a new trial or something along that line. they want to make sure with the financial crimes he is put away in jail for the rest of his life. people don't walk him to walk out of jail ever again. i think there is a good chance. >> bill: i think he will come out with something someday and
7:47 am
find out whether we're right or wrong. another question here, two weeks from today donald trump is required to be in a new york courtroom for a trial that may last up to six weeks given a gag order. the players in the case, the judge, mer chan, i don't know if you know that person. alvin bragg is the d.a. witnesses michael cohen and others, then you have trump with his attorneys there on screen. what would be your expectation for this case and maybe how it turns out? >> i think that the trial only goes in two weeks if donald trump wants it to. he has ways to delay this case. first he is still challenging the judge with regard to his daughter's involvement with the democrat party. i think that's a strong argument. i don't think the judge will recuse himself. if that happens even on the morning of trial donald trump can fire his defense team which would buy him at least four to six months in order to get a new defense team spun up and ready
7:48 am
for trial. if donald trump wants this delayed it is going to get delayed. >> bill: wow. >> dana: okay. hemmer and i are saying that's an option? >> bill: he is going to fire his attorneys? >> he can do that. the supreme court ruled on it. it is a tactic that isn't disingenuous by a criminal defendant. they have to be satisfied with their criminal defense team and have a right to fire their team once. the judge last week had criticized his defense team. sometimes criminal defense clients, the defendant, can choose to fire their defense team and get a whole new defense team and allows them a delay for their team to get ready to go especially where he hasn't previously done that. that's inside baseball into the criminal prosecution and defense world. it is not a partisan thing. it happens in cases all the time. >> bill: trump went after the judge's daughter. do you think there was a legitimate point to be made there? he put it out there in the
7:49 am
public and you just brought it up. >> it is a real issue. if it is a regular misdemeanor case, anything just of a minor nature and the judge on the case has a daughter who is in some sort of feud with the criminal defendant in this case, that seems like a conflict of interest. now the stakes here are much higher and the allegations are the judge's daughter is deeply involved with the democratic party, including adam schiff, the chief prosecutor in the impeachment proceedings raising nearly $1 hundred million. it feels like a conflict of interest. with all the judges in new york i don't understand why they can't find a judge who seems clearly unbiased against donald trump. they keep putting one up after another with deep issues with donald trump. >> dana: andrew brings the food for thought on a monday. we appreciate that. thank you so much. bring us back a t-shirt from

aside some $32 billion in federal spending in their home states. some of it is shocking i have to say. hillary vaughn checked into it on capitol hill. hi, hillary. >> earmarks cost every taxpayer their taxpayer dollars. only a few taxpayers get to benefit. 8,000 earmarks were crammed into spending bills costing taxpayers $15 billion. in some cases the money goes to important things. >> if it's not members of congress determining how the funds should be spent the biden administration is going to determine how these funds are spent. the projects that i secured were for critical infrastructure, water, sewer, sidewalks, police communications. >> these projects aren't paid for, it is the government spending money they don't have like they won the lottery when

in reality it's adding to the debt. critics say reckless spending like this needs to stop. >> earmarks, a spoon full of corrupt sugar helps the medicine go down, the big spending bills. what every member of congress needs to hear there is no sugar left. when the bottom is falling out and the national debt is heading toward $34 trial. earmarks are legalized bribery. >> it can only be like bribery is a way to get votes. congress awarded $71 million in earmarks for lawmakers who voted against the bill. senator bernie sanders one example of someone who got over $15 million to his state for different projects but didn't vote for the spending bill. he voted no but still got the dough. >> dana: and there is more from where that came from. i looked at a list the other day and some of them said they

didn't vote for the bill because of aid to israel but they still got their pet project little museum in their home state. great story, thank you. >> bill: epa rolling out new emission standards for electric trucks. the price tack is the highest for an ev mandate today. what did you find out? >> we found out that this new rule to cut pollution from big trucks is similar to the epa's new rule from a couple of weeks ago limiting tailpipe emissions from passenger vehicles. of course, the environmental groups like it a lot. they need to deliver the climate, health and economic benefits we deserve. this rule will apply to semi trucks, city boxes, box trucks and garbage trucks starting with model year 2027 and getting progressively more strict through 2032.

practically what it means is a lot more electric trucks and buses on the road by then. the groups representing the trucking industry and bus industry say the new rules are unrealistic and unaffordable and means higher prices for you and me. >> milk, eggs, bread, fuel we put in our cars, medications, everything that we rely on every day. when the cost of transportation goes up so does the cost of all the other things we pay for. that's what reality sets in. >> the trucking industry points to the numbers from the clean freight coalition. going all electric will cost $1 trillion and that's just for charging infrastructure and grid updates. doesn't even include the big trucks themselves that could be two or three times more expensive. environmental groups argue those numbers are flawed. >> bill: okay, all right. grady, thank you so much. see you on the road. grady trimble.

>> dana: everything costs more and everybody wonders why they'll find out. >> bill: they do. before we go talk about horsepower, get it? >> dana: i think i get it. >> bill: i think so, too. >> you are being detained. stop. you are not free to leave, do you understand? >> bill: this is a real story in albuquerque, new mexico. ran down the alleged shoplifter. the perp never had a chance. the horse caught him in seconds. the suspect stole hundreds of dollars of goods from a walgreens. >> dana: that's awesome before we go. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. far left democrats are angry at president biden over his israel policy and protestors now as you've seen are showing up to event after event. no place i
