7:00 am
sports movement have been women. you know, how quickly that it could be ruined. that it could be taken away from us. we have to make sure that women's sports stay for women. >> if you can believe this not everyone is on board with the change. human rights campaign, nation's largest lgbtq rights group says every student including trans students deserve the opportunity to be part of a team. >> bill: alexis, nice to see you in studio. dana. >> dana: we're watching a sentencing hearing for james and jennifer crumbley. the first parents of a school shooter to be held criminally responsible for their child's actions facing up to 15 years if prison. we await victims' impact statements. remarks from the crumbleys themselves and the judge's final decision. we're watching this and bring you all the breaking news as it happens. first israel is regrouping and gathering its strength to invade
7:01 am
the last hamas stronghold in rafah. israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the date is set for his long-promised offensive. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. interesting morning so far. the israeli leader forging ahead despite president biden's pressure to hold off against invading rafah to take out the iranian-backed terror group. critics say biden's criticism is tying the hands of our closest ally in the middle east which only encourages hamas to dig in its heels and rejecting a cease-fire deal. >> dana: the biden state department is not buying it. >> we have made clear to israel we think a full scale military invasion of rafah would have an enormously harmful effect on civilians and ultimately hurt israel's security. >> dana: let's get to trey yengst live in tel aviv. a lot of news is swirling as
7:02 am
netanyahu says there is a date. >> yeah, he says his troops will enter gaza's southern most city of rafah. you can hear in the distance a military helicopter back and forth along the mediterranean sea. right now there are 1.4 million palestinians sheltering in this southern area of gaza strip. it is not clear when they will be evacuated and how long that process might take. but this is a big decision if it takes place for a variety of reasons. netanyahu says the move to destroy remaining hamas battalions is needed to win the war. >> this victory requires entering rafah and eliminating the terrorist battalions there. it will happen, there is a date. >> it is day 186 of the war between israel and hamas. the amount of aid going into gaza is slowly increasing with more than 400 trucks entering the enclave on monday after idf soldiers withdrew from southern
7:03 am
gaza over the weekend, some palestinian civilians returned to the wreckage of their homes. 50% of buildings in gaza were destroyed or damaged since october 7th. israeli forces are on high alert in the north amid continued attacks from the iran-backed group hezbollah. >> dana: thanks for staying on top of that t for us. thank you, bill. >> president biden: tens of millions of people's debt was about to get canceled but then some of my republican friends and elected officials and special interests sued us and the supreme court blocked us. but that didn't -- that didn't stop us. the economic gains will far outweigh the cost and that's the truth. >> bill: student loan relief that could be 3.0. the proposal that you just heard from madison, wisconsin yesterday. 4 million borrowers would have entire debt canceled is what the
7:04 am
proposal is from the administration. 10 million borrowers have $5 thousand worth of relief. over here in the corner, 23 million borrowers would have interest wiped out. whether they can make it happen remains to be seen. we'll join my partner at the table. i wonder what larry kudlow has to say about this? >> dana: let me set the stage, larry. the "wall street journal" editorial page biden's latest student loan forgiveness wants to write off billions in student debt before the courts can stop him. second verse same as the first here. >> yeah. what is it that the bidens don't understand concerning the word illegal? i don't really understand that. it's in english, the supreme court has been very clear about this, and the precedents they've cited are no good. we'll go back to court.
7:05 am
this is just -- is there any more transparent election year vote buying that you have ever seen in your lifetime? i appreciate your having me on. i hate to be so negative about this. >> bill: it is so obvious. you have so many -- >> i've never seen anything like this. >> bill: number three year july of 2021. >> people think that the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone, he can delay, but he does not that have power. that has to be an act of congress. >> bill: maybe we should have booked speaker pelosi for this segment, larry. >> i think you probably should have. she and i agree on a wide variety of issues and it may surprise you. i'm trying to get a laugh out of dana but not succeeding at all.
7:06 am
>> dana: i'm laughing. >> okay. everyone knows that this is ele election. what i've seen is early estimates of at least $5 hundred billion if it all were to be put into place. that's a very big number particularly in light of the spending that biden has already done. can i make a suggestion? there is some constructive things that could be done here. you have to restructure the student loan issue. this is something we looked at in the trump administration. the department of education is not equipped to make loans, okay? loans of any kind. they are not trained as bankers or credit analysts. in this case it is student loan. they aren't done. you have to take the loan portfolio, last time i looked it is 1.6 or 1.7 trillion.
7:07 am
take it out of the department of education and put it into the federal financing bank, the ffb run by the treasury department which does have the capacity to do workouts and try to solve and get back as much as they can get back on a credit basis. that's point number one, restructure. point number two, go back to private lending. so you have bankers involved or savings and loans or somebody who can take a look at the credit worthiness of the parents or the student, if the student is independent and working, and figure out how to go from there and apply at proper market interest rates. we used to do a lot of this. the obama administration years ago ended this private lending. i think we should go back to this. and finally, we should realize that every time we have one of these bail-outs or bail-out proposals, all it does is jack up the tuition, right?
7:08 am
the government is pouring money in and the colleges take advantage of this by jacking up the tuition, which then requires more student loans which then goes to higher tuition and the whole process is insane. this could be tackled and restructured. >> dana: if you think about it democrats are screaming about fairness when it comes to tax code. that doesn't seem to ever enter into their mind here. do you think this has helped spur the political realignment as the biden administration decided to distance itself from the working class? >> that's a very important point. yes, i do, as a matter of fact. i think we find the distribution of these loans, maybe not every loan, most of them, you know, graduate students are disproportionately represented or private colleges andy let colleges are disproportionate lull represented.
7:09 am
if it like the other plans. i think not paying the interest a crewed on the loan is creating a lot of irresponsibility. polls show that younger people, the youngest generation is going for trump. go figure. that's a fascinating thing. they don't like these kinds of government hand-outs, either. they don't like the inflation that comes from excessive federal spending. they don't like the fact their prices -- everyday prices are rising faster than wages when they are working and they don't think there is much opportunity out there under a biden administration. so they are rolling for trump. i just find that fascinating. what i'm saying is, i don't think -- this vote buying effect or vote-buying effort is not going to work. it will fail. people see right through it. >> bill: thank you, larry.
7:10 am
>> dana: we're keeping an eye on michigan where james and jennifer crumbley, the parents of ethan crumbley find out what their sentence will be today. they were both found guilty of negligence in the school shantey. the first in the nation occurrence. prosecutors as paul mauro said got it done. as soon as we have the sentencing we'll let you know. we expect to hear from both of them beforehand so we'll want to take that for you live as soon as it happens. >> bill: so much of it. the judge has the last say. we'll talk to marc siegel. >> dana: lori lightfoot is no stranger to controversy but now she is being called in to investigate joe one else. >> bill: an up roar of ucla after a pro-hamas activist gives a lecture to medical students at that school.

7:14 am
7:15 am
every day millions of people ask, "what is scientology?" here's an idea, what if you just take a look? what if you see for yourself who we are, what we believe and what we stand for? our doors are open to all people, of all faiths, in every corner of the world. so what is scientology?
7:16 am
maybe it's time to look and decide for yourself. >> bill: 15 past the hour. president biden up against a key deadline that might find him missing from the ballot in ohio. what? under state law all presidential candidates must be certified by august 7th according to ohio law. that is nearly two weeks before the democratic national convention goes down in chicago where biden is expected to be officially nominated. republican-led state legislature must act by today in columbus to create an exception to the deadline or the dnc will have to move up its convention date. >> dana: way to be organized, guys, way to be organized. >> bill: ohio no or yes?
7:17 am
>> dana: former democrat chicago mayor lori lightfoot has a new special title called special investigator. lightfoot was hired by the illinois village of dullton to investigate their mayor facing multiple lawsuits and accusations of mishandling taxpayer funds. mike tobin live in dolton itself, hi, mike. >> residents of this town, some of them are revolting demanding the removal of this mayor that some call the dictator of dolton. they reached out to lori lightfoot has been brought in to investigate all of the allegations surrounding the mayor of dolton, tiffany henyard. she is accused of embezzling public money. taking lavish trips and pulling police off patrols to work security and retaliating against an employee who claimed sexual harassment. just the tip of the iceberg. lori lightfoot was a federal prosecutor before being mayor of
7:18 am
chicago and hired as an investigator at $4 hundred an hour. >> as a lawyer and former federal prosecutor and mayor, i bring expertise in leading investigations of this kind and understand the complex challenges of governing. i commit to you that i will follow the facts where they lead without bias and reserve comments from this night forward until the work is complete. >> through an attorney, henyard says she won't approve payments to lightfoot claiming the trustees opposing her already have an attorney and hiring another is illegal. an attorney representing the trustees say lightfoot says she will not be a redundant lawyer but hired as a special investigator. henyard is mayor and supervisor of thornton township. her combined income is $3 hundred thousand a year and puts
7:19 am
her income ahead of 49 of 50 u.s. governors, dana. >> dana: that's something else. >> bill: let's bring in comedian joe devito and comedian charlie shimkus. so joe, she got a whopping 17% of the vote in the runoff and i guess politics aside is she a good business woman? >> well first i have to say as much as it is fun to rip on lori lightfoot we have to say brandon johnson appears to be worse at the job of mayor of chicago. >> dana: she warned us. >> you look at a bad mayor and say you know who needs to bring in? lori light foot is the one to go with. the only way this works is if she does it wearing the clorox wipes costume. that's the only way she gets the credibility to clean up the mess. henyard is corrupt and insane. she makes it look pretty good. when lori lightfoot said i need to break covid protocols to get
7:20 am
my hair done nobody looked at that and said you can't argue with the results. >> dana: i think henyard is wore eft that lori lightfoot won't fool around. the people of dolton upset and talking about this, i think regardless of what anybody else thinks the people of dolton have confidence in lori lightfoot and think she has credibility. >> they gave her a standing ovation when she said she would take the job and in february mayor henyard said you should be ashamed of yourself. you are black and beating and attacking a black woman that is in power. that doesn't seem to be working. the nugget that stands out to me is lori lightfoot is making $4 hundred an hour. so if this -- if this investigation were to last a year it would be an over $8 hundred thousand salary. i think they are capping it at $30,000 and look at her work. but this is a town where the
7:21 am
people are struggling. they clearly need help and a lot are low income. so i don't know what lori lightfoot's financial situation is. it looks like she could do something as pro bono. >> bill: it wasn't very funny but we'll give you another chance. dana and i were talking about this yesterday. called speech fasting which means you don't say anything until noon. the benefits of speech fasting are wered stress levels, lowered blood pressure and promote brain growth. dana and i said could we do this? you said you could for a second. >> dana: no one believes me at all. >> i can think of a lot of people i would recommend this for. the intermittent speech fasting isn't working for them. i know people who have done silent retreats. when they came back every word they said was more important. i think we spend too mh time
7:22 am
talking, too much media, too much tiktok and all that stuff. we need to clear out our thoughts and start over again. if you hear what people are saying these days it is pretty -- >> a study shows anything if you look hard enough. i don't know about speech fasting. i know my personal cup feels very full when i walk down the street and i see the mail lady and say hi to her and i go to all the people i love working there and have conversations and go to the corner and i have a chat with the dry cleaning lady. those personal interactions make me happy. i think they make a lot of happy. i don't think that speech fasting -- >> dana: i think the person that came up with this has a bad relationship and doesn't want to be bothered before noon. >> bill: brain growth, how do they come up with that? >> dana: i don't know. eat bananas. >> this is a good kind of blood pressure. happy conversations and the
7:23 am
blood pressure is positive. >> dana: great to have you. >> bill: well done. the court is about to take a break there before we get to the impact statements. how many there are we don't know. we do know two of them will be listened to closely. the judge will listen to what jennifer and james crumbley have to say in their own defense. >> dana: also back to one of the top stories this morning. president biden ramping up the pressure to israel to hold off an invasion of rafah. will it only let hamas live to fight another day? s his flaky rd patches are all people see. otezla is the #1 prescribed pill to treat plaque psoriasis. otezla can help you get clearer skin. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. some people taking otezla had depression, suicidal thoughts, or weight loss. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur.

7:27 am
nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years. when i have customers come in and ask for something for memory, i recommend prevagen. number one, because it's safe and effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself and i know it works. and i love it when the customers come back in and tell me, "david, that really works so good for me." makes my day.
7:28 am
prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. >> dana: fox news alert. the florida governor is talking about right now cracking down on retail theft and porch pirates. a big problem across america. ron desantis holding a press conference now and signing a bill to law to lower the threshold for charging criminals
7:29 am
who steal from businesses with a felony and porch pirates could face felonies if they steal anything over $1 hundred. and that's what they would get if they looked at my amazon orders. >> victory requires entering rafah and eliminating the terrorist battalions there. this will happen. there is a date. >> bill: the moments of truth announced by netanyahu with the war in gaza saying that israel has circled a date for the invasion of that town. he says the stakes are too high to hold off. danielle from the american enterprise institute with us now. nice to have you on the program here. >> good morning. >> bill: before they get to this battle, there is an ongoing negotiation in cairo. some of the negotiations if you look at the details, it is so lopsided. what hamas is looking for is at
7:30 am
least 100 prisoners in israeli jails who are convicted for attacks that killed israelis. now, how is that negotiation going to work out and do you think it works out before the invasion of rafah as the prime minister states? >> so i think it might work out. the incentives for hamas are not to allow this to work out. they feel like they've got the advantage right now. they've got the biden administration, they've got the europeans and the united nations all appearing to be on hamas's side against israel. they want to continue this war. but there is pressure coming from some of the arabs and some others for them to do a deal to release at least some of the hostages. the israelis have mostly pulled out of rafah for the moment. we have to underscore that for the moment. so i still think it's a 60/40 proposition. >> dana: i think it might be
7:31 am
more prisoners than that that the palestinians want. >> bill: of their demands, 100 are in jail for convictions for killing israelis. upwards of 700 or 800. >> dana: always lopsided. they know the israeli pepeople will do what is needed to be done. the war could end tomorrow if they release the hostages. hamas said they can't release 40 hostages because a significant number aren't alive but won't release the names. the cruelty is unbelievable. a reporter wrote this. if the jewish state can be bullied into letting hamas survive how can any free nation defend itself? under global public opinion the biden administration forces a cease-fire that leaves our closest ally over an enemy that seeks to destroy it sooner or later we'll all pay the price. your thoughts, danielle. >> i think it's really important to underscore this idea that
7:32 am
public opinion is switching over to hamas is wrong. sure, you know, maybe in europe, maybe in the middle east, i don't know about asia. what we care about is the united states. and consistently what we see in the united states from the best polls, the harvard harris poll that asks a large number of balanced questions we see that around 80% of americans support israel in this war against hamas. it is not the other way around. and while there are perceptions and the news media is exaggerating it is reality is americans stand with israel. not the terrorists. >> bill: we don't know the real number of hostages who are alive today. now, dana and i did have a spokesperson on with netanyahu's office about i think it was three weeks now and he said it was 99. that was the number that they were working off of who they believe are still being held and still alive. none of that has been confirmed.
7:33 am
i think what the world needs to recognize is that some of these people, if they are alive, are elderly, some of them might be kids. some may be in very poor health, and yet they are being used yet again as pawns by a terror group that started all of this, danielle. >> last sunday, two days ago marked six months since the beginning of this war. so we're talking about people who have been in hamas's hands for six months. it is a baby that turned one year old, hamas told the israelis a few months ago that he was dead. this sweet little redheaded boy. his brother and his parents. now, we don't know whether he is alive or dead. there are a number of elderly people. i suspect more are dead than we know. every single day we get news about an additional hostage who was killed. yesterday a hostage in the hands of islamic jihad who was alive
7:34 am
in a video they shared in january, was announced to be dead. they are killing people all the time. they are putting them in harm's way and using them as human shields. it is unconscionable. >> dana: they are possibly looking to get concessions for something that they cannot provide, which is if these hostages are unfortunately not with us anymore. danielle, thank you. everyone follow her on x and listen to her podcast with marc thiessen. thank you for being here, danielle. >> a pleasure. >> dana: the outcome of this war is reverberating far and wide especially here at home. this is anti-israel protestors taking to the streets of dear born michigan on friday chanting death to america and death to israel. [chanting] >> dana: you have to wonder if
7:35 am
there is going to be any fallout from that or do they continue to do this and the administration -- the biden administration trying to move they can deal with the voters there? >> that wasn't the streets of tehran, that was in michigan. michigan will be important come november. fishermen in new england are working real hard. they are working real hard to reel in a push by the biden administration to build a giant wind farm. they warn the project comes with major risks to their livelihood, local economy and environment. douglas kennedy has more on that. >> in the last three years the federal government has approved eight massive wind farms on the ocean. the question now is what happens to the fish and the fishermen? this could be constructed 60 miles southeast of here and affect the scallops, lobster and the bottom fish you fish for on this boat.
7:36 am
>> yes. they will build windmills and a fish highway that all the fish travel 150 to 250 miles every year to come and spawn in maine. >> he was fishing the maine coast since 12 and operates three bottom fishing boats catching had october, monk fish and cod. he is concerned over a biden administration proposal to allow wind farm construction on over 20 million acres in the gulf of maine. this is obviously your prime fishing ground and they are basically going to industrialize it. >> they are ruin prime fishing grounds. >> it could kill the fish and coastal economy from maine to cape cod including businesses that rely on fishing for their livelihoods like bait shops, processing plants and restaurants. jerry is from the new england stewardship association and he
7:37 am
says the proposed site could also affect the survival of the endangered whale. >> these struck yours will have direct impact. >> three -- at the same time, the biden administration proposed a speed restriction on all boats over 35 feet. ostensibly to protect the right whale. irony not lost onlyman. >> on one hand they are are hurting the fishermen but building huge wind turbines. >> they will require cooling stations with heated water with 100 mortality to all juvenile life to impact the feeding grounds of the whale. >> in a statement the department of interior said it would
7:38 am
provide dozens of gig watts of clean energy and the site avoids most of the key fishing grounds in the region including areas for the ground fish fleet. is biden administration says this site is not where the fish are and that they consulted local fishermen. what do you say? >> they did ta to us and they aren't listening to us and they want to put them right where all the fish do go. >> he says there are many good spots in the ocean for wind farms but the gulf of maine isn't one of them. back to you, dana and bill. >> bill: keep us posted what's happening on the waters and under it, too. nice to see you. >> dana: alarming rise in cancer among young adults and has doctors racing to figure out why. new research may have some answers and we'll bring them to you next. ma, i want to make perfume! ♪ so i made barbara's new side gig count by guaranteeing her maximum refund.

>> dana: researchers getting more insight into what could be driving an alarming rise in cancer among young adults. a new study tying accelerated aging to the increased risk. the wear and tear on a person's body may be as important as biological age when determining risk factors. i want to bring in dr. marc siegel oh than this to help us what kinds of cancers are they and should we be alarmed or is it because we're testing differently? >> i think we need to look at this closely, dana. good morning, bill and dana. this shows something that we've known for a while, which aging isn't linear, it isn't chronologic. it is cellular level. how are your cells doing. how much inflammation do they have? how is the dna doing that gives them the code to do their functions? and what this study does, it is huge, 150,000 people looked at from the united kingdom and studied at washington university
7:45 am
in st. louis and presented to the american association for cancer research, a huge study. to your question it shows a 42% increase of lung cancer, 36% uterine and 22% g.i. cancers in people that were born after 1965. they showed an increased aging in their cells and the cells, when they aged, caused more mutations and the more mutations you get, the higher risk of cancer. they did nine markers. things you might think are easy to look at. glucose, kidney function, liver function, blood counts. we can do this by looking at genetics. i like this a lot. it is just a warning. what is happening to young people and what are they exposed to? are they drinking more? more processed food in your diet? eating more carbs and fats? >> dana: the article says i turn it over to bill. you can target lifestyle
7:46 am
interventions too. nutrition, exercise and sleep. >> bill: you said 150,000 people, a very large sample for any medical research, you would agree on that. they are talking about people between the ages of 37 and 54. these aren't young adults, almost middle-aged adults. i think you put your key on it there, it was diet. i wonder if the food that's been processed and put in the diet over the past several decades is the cause for this? >> completely agree. i agree with dana's point, too. let's add to food exercise and sleep. are people stressed all the time? we seem to be more stressed. that plays a role here. what can you do about it is you can actually reverse that trend. the one thing the study didn't do, it needs to look at it over a longer period of time. this is a snapshot. we need a motion picture over time if we do an intervention.
7:47 am
if we eat or sleep better and exercise more. i think it will have improvement. >> dana: wt to ask you about this, a new study out. i recently got my mammogram do you want to upgrade and get the a.i. read as well. okay, costs more, fine. to me it maybe was a measure of security that i could have in it. there is a new study out that says it improved breast cancer detection by 20% in a study when you had a.i. mammography. what do you think? worth it? >> i'm a huge fan of a.i. and our head of digital at fox has clued me into this. he needs a shout-out for this. huge all over this, dana berry. here is the deal. in denmark you had less false positives if you use a.i.s. make less mistakes. in sweden a.i. detects it better. it's a tool in our hands
7:48 am
especially in problematic spots where i'm not sure what i'm seeing. this can give me clues and so it is the doctor plus the a.i. working together with the a.i. as is co-pilot. >> bill: good stuff both topics. marc siegel, thank you for coming on. so we are 12 minutes before the hour. iron man can suit up once more. hemmer celebrity news. iron man. robert downey jr. telling reporters he would happily return to his role. he said it's too integral a part of my own dna. he played the tony starr character from 2017 to 2019. despite a tragic end in the last film anything is possible in the marvel universe or so it says. >> dana: that will be fun. gutfeld gave me a good recommendation on a show to watch called poker face. peter found it somehow.
7:49 am
i really like it. a mandatory medical class at ucla leading to accusations of indoctrination. a pro-palestinian advocate speaks to students. the response from a jewish faculty group who warned the school against even allowing the lecture. >> we are there to care for everyone and they're trying to indoctrinate young physicians so they have a bias. the older physicians are trying to make sure we are removing the bias.
