>> well, i got some news for you. don't go in the water because there has been four jaws movies, not three. 75, 78, 83 and 87. >> have a great weekend. >> goodbye everyone. >> dana: the price of gas is putting a strangle hold on american's wallets. one of the president's top cabinet members is refusing to acknowledge it. bill has time off. i'm here with dagen mcdowell. >> we'll talk about our dogs for the next two hours. i'm dagen mcdowell and this is "america's newsroom." americans are waking up to another record high for gasoline prices, $4.59 up more than 1.50 from a year ago. >> dana: we're on an historic streak. the u.s. setting a new record for average gas price for the

past 11 days in a row. american families forced to spend an average of $5,000 a year on gas compared to $2800 a year ago. interior secretary deb holland refusing to concede it is too big a burden to bear. >> americans are still recovering from this terrible pandemic and there are a lot of other world events that are making things difficult for all of us. >> so it sounds like you are unwilling to say that gas prices are too high. >> we're doing all we can, senator. >> dana: grady trimble is following the story from chicago. good morning. >> good morning. gas prices are expected to keep rising this summer so when interior secretary deb holland wouldn't acknowledge in that hearing that gas prices right now are too high, it certainly raised eyebrows. >> we're doing all we can, senator, production on federal lands is up. it's a 45% increase from 2020.

that's new drilling. that's up. but the production is also up. it's at an all-time high. >> president biden is allowing drilling on federal lands but it makes way fewer acres for drilling and increases royalties oil and gas companies have to pay. that's part of the reason republicans don't buy that the administration is doing everything it can to lower prices at the pump. >> this administration is completely out of touch with the american people and out of touch with the pain that the american people are suffering on a daily basis as they can no longer afford to fill the tank. >> secretary holland also told the senate committee the interior department will release a new five-year plan for offshore drilling by the end of june. there will be a gap between the current plan and the new plan.

secretary holland wouldn't say whether the new plan would include any new leases for new offshore drilling, dana. >> dana: thank you so much. dagen, good to have you this morning to help us understand what the interior secretary is supposed to do is try to allow for oil and gas development, responsible conservation minded, environmentally safe as it can be. she wouldn't concede anything. >> when i heard that piece of sound from the interior secretary i only thought of you. how can you go -- your interior department has been responsible for just in the last week canceling those lease sales, three lease sales on federal water, and you are going in front of the senate and having no response to record high gasoline but also near record high diesel prices, which will feed through to additional inflation. i was astonished that they are never prepared and the energy

secretary grand holme was talking about pushing people electric cars. >> dana: the problem is they're expensive as well. we'll stay on this story. >> house democrats putting the brakes on -- as we await decisions from the court on several controversial cases as early as next week. aishah hosni is on capitol hill. >> good morning, to you. that's right. senate passed the security bill two weeks ago and now some lawmakers on the hill are wondering where is the urgency with this. this is a serious situation. as you know, the department of homeland security is warning about an impending surge in political violence once the supreme court officially rules on roe v. wade. the d.o.j. is providing round the clock security right now outside the justice's homes. the other marshals. the house is stalling on the security bill so that they can

wyden it to include protections for court employees. both senate republicans and senate democrats are getting increasingry frustrated. >> they want to expand the categories of people covered. i'm all for that but they shouldn't hold up the whole process to achieve that goal. we ought to be working on this actively. it should have been done a long time ago. >> when pressed by fox business when the house might be able to vote on what the senate passed already, house speaker nancy pelosi dodged the question. >> i think that any need for protection should relate to whatever threat is there and that's a judgment that is made by our law enforcement people. >> do you have -- do you a plan to bring it up for a vote in the house? >> protection depends on the threat. that's up to the law enforcement. >> this week attorney general merrick garland finally called

the threats against justices dangerous but fell short of the protests are illegal or not. the white house has all but endorsed peaceful protests and senate democrats need to act quickly in case things turn ugly. >> a place for peaceful protest and time, place and manner for it that is perfectly appropriate. but violence ought to be deterred by strong steps and i hope that the house will follow the senate's lead. >> it is not going to happen anytime soon. the house is out all next week. at least they won't be taking any votes. it won't be back to take votes until after memorial day. >> thank you for that. >> dana: president biden kicking off his trip to asia with a visit to south korea. he is in seoul now meeting with the country's new president on the global chip shortage but countering a rising threat from china.

jacqui heinrich is on the ground there. >> good morning to you, dana. the purpose of the president's trip is to deepen economic ties with the partners to counter balance china. beijing has been closely watching how the world responds to russia's war in ukraine with their eye on taiwan and comes amid increased aggression from north korea, u.s. is preparing to respond to a possible ballistic or nuclear test while the president is here which some experts say is also a message from china. but biden has started out his trip with a tour of a samsung factory with the new south korea president talking about supply chains and launch a framework to replace the trans-pacific partnership that president trump left in 2017 and meet with leaders from japan, australia, india, the war in europe renewing a focus on strategic alliances. the white house isn't saying this is a security trip, it is

widely viewed as such. >> president biden: this is the moment in my view to invest in one another, to deepen our business ties, to bring our people even closer together. this is something the president and i will be talking about on our visit later after this meeting and in the months ahead. >> but biden leaves behind record gas prices hitting $4.59 a gallon today and baby formula shortage. impending migrant surge at the border when title 42 is lifted and unrest over roe v. wade. a new poll showed biden's approval rating dipped to the lowest point in may, 39% with even democrats growing more pessimistic. biden having to balance foreign policy without appearing to neglect his responsibilities as home. >> it is an act of courage to jump to the other side of the world when your own country is in trouble. >> one bump in the road is

making for a bit of a rocky start to the trip. law enforcement source telling fox two secret service agents in south korea for the president's trip are heading back to d.c. after getting drunk off duty and an ol tear indication with a cab driver. the white house says they weren't assigned to the president and they are now on leave, dana. >> dana: sometimes that happens on these trips. thank you so much, jacqui. >> we're into the primary season and have a great candidate in north carolina and pennsylvania and herschel walker will prevail in the primary in georgia. we're well on our way to getting fully electable candidates in every one of the states that will be in competition this fall. >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell optimistic about republican chances m states across the country including georgia. the race for governor there is up for grabs in the primary next tuesday and early voting in the peach state is already

breaking records. mark meredith is following the story live in atlanta. mark. >> dagen, as you know the georgia voters are turning out in record numbers ahead of next week's primary and a fascinating race we're watching. the governor race where you have the incumbent governor facing a challenge from a fellow established republican somebody who he once considered his friend former senator david perdue challenging him for the job. a challenge like this in georgia is unheard of. ever since 2020 when the state went blue we've seen the party divided. former president trump urged perdue to run against kemp. we expect a rally from trump before the election. he continues to attack kemp as a rhino, republican in name only. today perdue will be back on the stump down south georgia campaigning with another maga supporter, former vice

presidential nominee sarah palin. endorsements from trump and bail indon't appear to be helping in the polls. governor kemp running away with the race with 60% of voters preferring him over perdue. turnout a key factor. the georgia secretary of state says he isn't surprised that people are showing up to vote in record numbers. >> they're coming back because they see the direction america is going. our job as a republican party is to grow the base and so that's -- people want to join our party. >> while trump is backing perdue you have former vice president mike pence supporting governor kemp and now we've learned that pence will be coming down here to georgia just next week to campaign right before the election for kemp. you have the pence/trump. stacey abrams is also trying to get into the governor's mansion. >> thank you so much for that,

mark. >> dana: pennsylvania republican senate primary is still anyone's race. oz holds a dwindling leads over mccormick. less than a percentage point as poll workers have 8700 ballots left to count. right now oz leads by a tenths of a percent and have a chance to talk to the secretary of the commonwealth about a potential recall in the next hour. >> has the president ever called you and spoken to him on phone about the crisis? >> never. early on i spoke to him in february after he was elected. that's the last time i have talked to him and it was not about the border at that time. he has never bothered the talk about the border or has a concern to come down here and address one of the largest catastrophes that happened under his administration. >> dana: his state and others along the border bracing with only three days until the end of title 42 and massive surge of humanity could follow.

texas lieutenant governor dan patrick on the court challenge that could stop it. >> former f.b.i. official taking the stand against michael sussman telling the court the former clinton campaign lawyer lied. >> dana: new warning for moms searching far and wide amid a shortage in baby formula. scammers are out there looking the take advantage of you. if you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure you're a target for chronic kidney disease. you can already have it and not know it. if you have chronic kidney disease your kidney health could depend on what you do today. ♪far-xi-ga♪ farxiga is a pill that works in the kidneys to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. farxiga can cause serious side effects including dehydration, urinary tract or genital yeast infections in women and men, and low blood sugar. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect

>> dagen: a warning to parents impacted by the baby formula shortage. ftc and better business bureau say the number of scammers targeting parents looking for the product online is rising. social media users purchased baby formula seen in ads, posts or private group messages and the product never shows up. to avoid being scammed, the better business bureau

recommends researching the company before making any purchase. >> dana: you hate to see it in terms of taking advantage but that can happen so take that advice and hopefully the government will try to realize what it's done. the "wall street journal" this morning. baby formula shortage was made in washington politicians admit their policies are responsible. >> dagen: i read this this morning saying suspend tariffs, ease labeling and requirements trade barriers shouldn't be there in the first place. the issue of the wic program for the food stamps for women and children and infants. the rules limit new mothers to buying formula state by state from one contractor. so there is just one and so you have states grocery stores just pushing one type of formula and fda shut down the abbott labs plant and they made 1/5 of all formula in the united states in that one plant. the fact that they weren't ahead of it is -- >> dana: stunning to me and takes all the issues of the

administration into one. we'll follow that. follow that advice and check the site before you buy. also this, border states are bracing for the end of title 42 in three days. critics say the lifting of the order will lead to a migrant search. mayorkas says a plan is in place. texas republican lieutenant governor dan patrick joins us now to put it on the board for everyone, april daily average of 7,803 people coming across and the administration says they expect up to 18,000 per day. how is texas and the other border states supposed to manage that, lieutenant governor? >> they don't care. what we have to do dana. they don't care that america is being overrun and texas is being overrun and fentanyl is coming in and killing americans. they don't care the criminals are crossing the border and ms-13 gang members are crossing the border. they just don't care because it

is not their plan. their plan is to bring in millions of people into this country illegally that they can give them a green card and turn them into voters so they can control the country. with people who come here, dana, who are not educated. you put them in our schools, two or three grade levels behind and they drop out. where do they go? what do they do? the president never answers this question. i would love to see the new press secretary answer a simple question was fox. where do they go and what do they do? they disappear into the country. dana, this must stop. america wants their country back, dana. america wants a secure border where drugs and criminals don't cross. america wants to do something as simple as being able to afford gas in their tank. america wants to buy baby formula as you just talked about. america wants a president who looks like a leader and does not stumble through every speech and turn around and shake hands with people who don't stand there. america wants their country back. what you are seeing whether

it's the border or inflation, go through the list. this administration and this democrat party have failed everywhere. we have criminals, dana, running our streets. we have government organizations that used to defend us, now they attack us. we have parents told that the government should educate their children and not them. america wants their country back and the border is a major part of this issue. we're spending over $4 billion this year of our taxpayer money. we normally spend $400 million. when trump was here the border was pretty much under control in the last year. it is a disaster and think about this, dana. if it does go up to 18,000 a day, we're already on pace for 2 1/2 to 3 million coming in now. if he repeals title 42, you are talking about as many people coming in in the first term of the biden administration, more people coming here illegally that we apprehend than live in new york city and twice the size of the city of houston. we want our country back. in november we're going to take

it back. >> dagen: you talk about the financial costs, the human costs, but also talk about the spike in fentanyl overdoses. that's how it is showing up in one way across this country. 108,000 fatalities last year broadly speaking. why doesn't that resonate with the administration? >> so dagen, it doesn't resonate because they know it. this is not negligence. this is purposeful. when you have a problem this big that is ignored this long, i'm talking about all these problems but particularly on the border you can only come to one conclusion. you know what is going on and are you okay with it because the ends justify the means. if people die in this country because of fentanyl, this is harsh to say, the president obviously doesn't care because he is not doing anything about it. if crime is increasing in all of our cities, he obviously doesn't care because he is not

doing anything about it. he is not doing anything about anything. the squad, the left, the socialists have taken over the democrat party and shame on the democrats. i used to say they were our opponents but the democrats have become an enemy of everything our country stands for. our simple values and common sense and it is their fault. they have let their party be hijacked. >> dana: we hear the frustration you have indeed. thank you so much for being on with us and i know you are bracing for that decision on monday. thank you. >> we are bracing for it. thank you, dana. >> dagen: elon musk denying a sexual assault claim from a former flight attendant. she worked in the cab-in crew for the corporate jeet fleet. she accused him of exposing himself during a massage. musk calling the story a quote politically motivated hit piece. spacex reportedly paid the woman $250,000 as part of a severance agreement in 2018.

>> dana: 8 people are dead and 2 injured. the gunfire erupted blocks from the magnificent mile shopping district. we have more from chicago. hi, garrett. >> one witness said there was shooting like crazy when this went down last night around 10:30 p.m. this is right here in downtown chicago outside of this mcdonalds where it took place. you can see they are just now beginning to clean up some of the broken glass from that shooting. witnesses say there was some kind of a fight that broke out before the shots started ultimately killing two people and injuring eight others. shootings and murders across the city are down slightly from

a year ago but here in the downtown area across the board crimes are up. as of this past weekend shootings in the 18th district are up 225% and just a few blocks over in district one. hoemd to the magnificent mile shootings are up 129%. murders up from one at this point last year to four and burglaries, thefts, carjackings up over 100%. this crime wave downtown is having an impact on businesses. just yesterday chicago billionaire ken griffin, outspoken about the city's failure to address crime told bloomberg he is close to moving his company because of the crime happening around their downtown office saying we're getting to the point if things don't change, we're gone. things aren't changing. if griffin does pull out of chicago it would be another high-profile blow to the city a

few weeks after boeing announced it is moving from chicago. >> dana: thank you. >> dagen: the fox news alert wall street -- the wretched week. we have gains to start trading. almost two minutes into the trading decision. is dow and market gauges are down for the week. the dow would need to gain 944 points to break even. it's on track for an eight-week losing streak, dana. that's the longest losing streak in 90 years for the dow jones industrial average. >> dana: an incredible statistic. people hold on. encourage people this is a long-term investment. >> dagen: what you saw this week was inflation finally to start to show up and hit the bottom lines of target and wal-mart. it hurts everybody just in different ways. >> dana: watch here. >> the activity of vladimir

putin for invading ukraine and pulling us -- >> nonsense. with all due respect that's utter nonsense. in january of 2021 the average gas price in my state was $2.07. eight months later, long before vladimir putin invaded ukraine that price was up over 30% and going up consistently since. >> dana: senator josh hawley hammering grand holme as the biden administration tries to continue to blame vladimir putin for the high gas prices. steve moore and austan goolsbee. trying to call it is putin price hike the entire cabinet and all trying to say it. it is not landing or changing people's minds. people aren't believing it and they seem to have no other answer up their sleeve. >> in fact you just had a graphic on earlier on the show showing how much gas prices

have gone up over the last year. if you look at what has happened when trump left office, dana, the national gas price was $2.59 a gallon. you put up today $4.59 a gallon. that's a $2 per gallon increase in the price of gas. you have a 15 gallon tank you are paying $30 -- i call it the biden inflation tax. that's a big, big hit to the middle class. so a lot of that increase, as josh hawley was just saying, happened before putin went into ukraine. now certainly that has contributed to the higher gas prices. but then the question is why did just last week the biden administration took hundreds of thousands of more aches of prime oil and gas lands off of production? it doesn't make any sense. >> dana: austan, takes us inside what you think might be happening in the white house on

the economic front trying to brief the president and bring ideas or policy solutions. what's going on there? >> well, 95% of what happens in the economy with growth, with inflation, etc. has nothing to do with the white house. it is all driven in the private sector. you can see that they would be frustrated because there are a bunch of things happening that are happening worldwide and they don't control. now on oil prices, steve has the timing completely wrong. he is citing the moment when trump left office that the economy was left in shambles and we're in the middle of a massive downturn from covid. if you back up to 2019, the price of oil was a little below $70 a barrel. the relevant comparison is to before putin starts massing troops on the border of ukraine, not the day he starts shooting. and that story broke in december of last year. in november of last year, the price of oil was back down, had

fallen 25% and was back down to a little over $70 a barrel. so i think on oil prices, the fact that it is worldwide and it dates almost exactly to when the story broke that putin was considering invading ukraine you have to give a fact check on that. >> the facts are the facts. the price is up $2 a gallon. the last six months of the trump presidency we were in a booming economy, not an economy in collapse. and don't forget the factor that led to an increased boom was operation warp speed and the vaccine that got the economy going. but this idea that somehow joe biden is not responsible for the collapse of the economy when you have the highest gas prices ever, you've got a stock market that is in a complete collapse right now, you've got a border out of control, the biden people say this isn't our fault. and come on, look, biden

declared war on american oil and gas. he hates the industry and doesn't want the industry to be producing. what about all the increase in regulations? what about the massive increase, austan, in the debt the $3 trillion of spending last year? i said on this show when you were on with me it would lead to very high inflation and that's exactly what we have. >> dana: so austan, let's say the president is like my hands -- there is nothing i can do here. they don't even seem to be willing to show a little bit of compassion for the people out there who are really struggling. the interior secretary yesterday basically say she wouldn't say that gas prices are too high. today you wake up and the president has another record low poll number at 39%. give you the last word. >> for sure when inflation is high people will be in a sour mood. you see that in the polling. i haven't seen that there is a lack of sympathy.

every time i see the president speak about inflation, it is not about corporations, it is not -- it's all about the middle class and him identifying that it is his top domestic priority. i think it's a problem for them and i think you're right, that it's very uncomfortable. it is a worldwide inflation. you have the highest inflation in 40 years in europe. you have the highest producer price inflation in more than 40 years in asia and all around the globe. but that doesn't change the fact that people are upset. those are the conditions and whether they did it or they didn't do it, they will get held accountable. that's just the american system. >> dana: i think we can agree on that point. i have to run, sorry. thank you so much, have a great weekend. >> dagen: new details in the questionable business dealings of hunter biden. records revealing he and his company raked in $11 million

over a five-year period. all thanks to work with the ukrainian gas company accused of bribery and a chinese tycoon accused of fraud. these revelations coming to light through an analysis of hunter's hard drive and documents released by senate republicans looking into his finances. >> dana: the man accused of dave chappelle is now being charged in an unrelated attack. plus the white house disinformation board may be on pause but twitter picking up the slack. the site's new policy prompting widespread concern. that and more with our favorite, lawrence jones in the house, here he is. miss allen over there isn't checking lesson plans. she's getting graded on her green investments with merrill. a-plus. still got it.

>> dana: the suspect accused of attacking dave chappelle is facing a new charge. prosecutors accuse him of attempted murder for a different incident from last december. jonathan hunt is following the story live in los angeles. this was not a development i expected. >> i don't think anybody expected this. dave chappelle's attacker dodged a felony charge after attacking chappelle on stage but the investigation into that incident has turned up another

attack in isaiah lee's past. a former roommate recognizing him after this much publicized hollywood bowl incident where he rushed and knocked over chappelle and then tackled by security staff. video and photographs showing lee's face quite clearly as he was taken away to an ambulance. so the former roommate told investigators lee had stabbed him during a fight in december. that led los angeles county district attorney george gascon to file the new attempted murder charges saying quote, the publicity generated by the attack on mr. chappelle helped police solve this crime. the incident that occurred at the hollywood bowl was misdemeanor conduct and rightfully referred to the city attorney's office. based on the nature and severity of the december attack, mr. lee is now facing felony charges which my office will prosecute. as gascon referenced there, i

believed lee's attack on chappelle only rose to the level of misdemeanor because lee didn't use the knife that was carrying at the time of that attack. some of gascon's critics said it was another example of what they consider the d.a.'s soft on crime approach. although most legal experts agreed it was the correct decision by the letter of the law. the attacker will now face felony charges and potentially many years behind bars. dana. >> dana: i would imagine so. jonathan hunt, thank you. >> dagen: a growing number of teenagers falling victim to america's crime crisis. in the past week alone, multiple teenagers have been killed at seemingly safe events. here to talk about it, lawrence jones, host of lawrence jones cross-country. this is -- it's just lawlessness and chaos. >> yeah. this is what happens to society when you allow criminals just

to do whatever they want to do. did we think it would skip our young people when they see that all these other people are able to get away with it? there is no consequences. when parents decide to discipline their children they are demonized as well. i just think that we were dumb to think that somehow it was going to skip the next generation. i was just telling you guys in my neighborhood just witnessed a carjacking two weeks ago and it was four teenage kids running away, carjacking an uber driver. he went in to pick up the food. no consequences. the cops who are understaffed right now it took them over eight hours to even start the investigation. the cops didn't pull up to the scene until 34 minutes after it took place. it is so sad what is happening in america right now. just because you stay in a nice neighborhood doesn't mean it will skip you. look at this incident of the stabbing.

that's a private school. it is not skipping anyone right now. >> dana: the crime in major cities is up. new york 40%, l.a. 7%. chicago 35%. tomorrow night on cross-country you'll have a monologue about crime and your thoughts on it and what i wonder is so we see this in the cities but as you do your reporting, what about mid-size cities or suburbs? do you see it there? >> the problem is so often you hear people talk about the mid-size cities. the d.a.'s in the major cities. my hometown of garland, texas, dallas county that have the policies are responsible for these crimes. it spreads across the county. the point of my monologue tomorrow is to say every time these situations happen whether there is a shooting, stabbing, the message from the left is to disarm average everyday citizens. i think that is such a flawed message. if government won't do its job to keep us safe, i think it is

only incumbent on us to protect ourselves and we continue to see in these major cities more policies to restrict gun owners. you can't even carry mace in new york city. what are we supposed to do? no knives, guns or mace and we have to wait for them to show up on the scene. it is insane. >> dagen: how can you protect yourself? a golf club, hockey stick, full bottle of wine you walk around with. >> dana: one other topic here. dhs department of homeland security as i predicted shut down the disinformation board and twitter is announcing its ministry of truth saying to determine whether claims are misleading we require verification from multiple credible sources including evidence from conflict monitoring groups and more. basically they want to take viral tweets and put the brakes on them. where do you think it's coming

from? partly because of elon musk's involvement? >> i think we're afraid of elon but we get to the point and we all have to do this. take the l. take the l. you lost the faith of the american people. you tried to put this political nominee. just take the l. our bad, move on, just stop. >> dana: and the stories will stop. >> yes, they will. but again if they give up on this story then they lose control. it's not just about twitter. it is about all the social media networks being part of the democratic party and their philosophy and if they take that power away, then it is deep, deep, deep trouble for the democrats. >> dana: great to see you and we'll watch tomorrow night. thank you for coming on and pants that are a longer length than usual. good decision. >> increased the length for you, dana. >> dagen: as we wait for a judge's decision on title 42, fox cameras rolling as hundreds

that we have these small governing bodies willing to come out and make these statements. but i think the decision ultimately lies in the bigger organizations like the ncaa and like the ioc who ultimately have that weigh-in. they're the ones making these decisions. and so i do think it's great but how many small governing bodies is it going to take before, you know, these bigger organizations listen? >> dagen: will it help if more swimmers, more women swimmers speak out like yourself? and what are other swimmers saying to you maybe not publicly but to you privately? >> yes, this is something that definitely needs to be handled with some volume. i think the more voices the better. regardless of your position on how it's affected you, if you are a female or male, whatever party you are. an athlete or not your voice matters and this is something that needs to be handled with a lot of voices, i think,

quantity for sure. it's what will really inspire people to make that change realizing this is the majority. >> dagen: talk about what it's like i guess the disadvantage a biological female would have even using hormone or testosterone suppression therapy. >> in a sport like swimming where it is based on your individual performance and it requires things like your power and your stamina and your strength and endurance. all these things that women are just disadvantaged at over men. to pretend otherwise defies logic and reason, science and common sense quite frankly. and so, you know, these factors into swimming, it's night and day difference between male and female. >> dagen: you just graduated

from the university of kentucky. what's next for you? >> yeah. i've actually got some cool things in the works regarding this whole experience and this whole issue. we've got some things planned. i've been working with some amazing organizations like icons and i've been talking with marsha blackburn. but i will be in vegas at the end of the month participating in a rally. lots of cool things planned. lots of cool speakers, science panels and this is the 50th anniversary of title ix and i have a book in the works and documentary. lots of cool things planned. lots of stuff. so it's extremely exciting. i'm hoping to get a little bit on the legislature side. i want to introduce a new policy called title 20 which demonstrates it would be known as title xx which i think shows females have that xx chromosome and i have some cool things in

the works and really excited to pursue it because i'm passionate about it. >> dagen: and this weekend? >> i'm getting married this weekend. lots of crazy stuff going on. but i'm enjoying it for sure. >> dagen: congratulations, riley. thank you so much. riley gaines. our best wishes and godspeed. >> thank you. >> dana: she has a lot on her plate. she is going to dental school. i think when you have voices like herself she is dedicated to making sure women's sports continues and hats off to her indeed. all right. here we go. >> if he repeals title 42, are you talking about as many people coming in in the first term of the biden administration, more people coming here illegally that we apprehend than live in new york city. and almost twice the city of houston. this is harsh to say. the president obviously doesn't care because he is not doing anything about it. >> dana: texas lieutenant

governor dan patrick warning. seismic fallout to the end of 42 and we see an overwhelming surge at the border. just in the past 24 hours. brace yourself. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. bill is off today and i have dagen here. >> i love you to the moon and back dana perino. i'm dagen mcdowell. we're waiting on a judge to decide on the fate of title 42. pandemic border restriction that the biden administration wants to end on monday. either way folks who live and work along our southern border say it is already a disaster. and can only get worse. >> it's going to get horrific. we're looking at numbers right now in the el paso area of 1100 arrests. when title 42 is lifted it will approach 2,000. the government does not have the capability or the resources to deal with this influx of people we're seeing now.

this fits the definition of a disaster. it is a human made disaster. >> dana: we're live in eagle pass, texas. in three days they are expecting this massive increase, bill. >> good morning to you. even with title 42 still in place right now we're seeing a huge surge of activity in del rio sector. border patrol saying in 24 hours they had more than 1300 single adults cross. texas dps last night in brake enville, texas. they pull over a vehicle suspected of human smuggling. people start running all over trying to get away from troopers. some of the migrants hid in the back of the pickup. the female stayed in the vehicle smuggling a large group of single adult men in the back of that truck. ument matly texas dps they arrested the runners who tried

to get away. the female driver was from florida. we've been seeing this constantly. u.s. citizens come into the border from other states because they want the quick, easy money that cartels advertise on social media for human smuggling. this is about an hour ago this morning. a large group of 167 that crossed illegally here in eagle pass. they've been getting hammered with these large groups in recent days. border patrol saying here over the weekend they had three of these large groups in just a 10-hour span. typically been people from columbia, venezuelans, cubans and people from peru. take a look at this. that same group of 167 del rio sector getting overwhelmed more than a quarter million illegal crossings since october 1. their numbers are up nearly 150% over the same time last year. but again, it is not just here in del rio sector. take a look at these photos out of the rio grande valley sector

also seeing a huge surge of activity. a single group of 140 that crossed illegal in roma, texas, included in that group were 27 unaccompanied children, most of them from central and south america. then you will see some other photos mixed in here. they had four other large groups totaling more than 700 illegal crossings. that included more than 100 unaccompanied children and they've had 70 large groups in that sector just since october 1. listen to this. since october 1 that sector alone has had more than 315,000 illegal crossings. back out here live. you guys get the picture. even with title 42 in place the numbers are exploding along the southern border. any hour now a federal judge can decide what to do with title 42. will he let the administration drop it on monday as they plan to or will he issue an injunction to block it? regardless, the activity down here is really starting to pick up. we'll send it back to you. >> dana: you can see it and

feel it even in your reporting as you have done all week and no doubt through the weekend. thanks, bill. >> dagen: another dai, another bombshell. the trial of clinton campaign lawyer michael sussman. "new york post" slashing the story on the front page following yesterday's testimony by former f.b.i. general counsel james baker. he told the jury hillary's lawyer lied to him linking donald trump to russia just weeks before the 2016 election. david spunt is live outside federal court. hey, david. >> good morning. today is day three on the stand for former f.b.i. general counsel james baker. he has been on the stand for an hour. he says the allegations brought forth by the defendant in this case, michael sussman, were so severe and so concerning he took them directly to his bosses at the f.b.i., former director james comey and andy mccabe, his dep see. baker took this meeting with michael sussman in september

2016 and described sussman as a friend, james baker walks into court there yesterday. sussman claimed to have information linking the trump organization to russia via a secret back channel. baker says that sussman came to that meeting with hard copy documents and two thumb drives. baker alerted other top f.b.i. officials who were already looking into separate unproven allegations between trump and russia. the f.b.i.'s former general counsel says sussman warned him "the new york times" was aware of the allegations and was getting ready to publish a big front page story. sussman sat stoic in court and continues to do so as his trial is churning on. he is facing one charge of lying to the f.b.i. but he insists, dagen, he was delivering this information to james baker on his own as a concerned citizen, not on behalf of any clients, including the clinton campaign. special counsel john durham says his team has evidence

showing sussman billed the clinton campaign for the private meeting. john durham gets out of the car with the red tie. baker said today he was not positive if sussman said he was not coming in on behalf of any clients, the defense trying to point a few cracks in his testimony because a prior interview transcript shows when baker was talking about sussman, he did use the word client. the bottom line what we can tell is that james baker told different people different things at different times on the record. that's what the defense is hoping will destroy the special counsel's case. >> dagen: thank you for that reporting. david spunt in washington >> dana: for more on this sean duffy. to the last point david made i want to put something on the board for you. this is what the general counsel james baker, how he differed depending who he was talking to. to the jury he said sussman was not appearing on behalf of any particular client. to the d.o.j. inspector general sussman said the info was found by some sort of cybersecurity

experts and to john durham he didn't know sussman was representing the dnc in matters other than the email hack. you've been following this so let's get your reaction to the developments. >> this is a great gift that baker has given to defense counsel. for the defense to step in and impeach the star witness of the prosecution to say listen, he is telling you one thing today but over the course of the last four years he has told different stories to different people per reporting. that's powerful impeachment testimony. what is also interesting, sussman and baker are friends. they knew each other. that's how sussman was able to get this meeting. baker is not out to get sussman. he was withholding some information that he didn't give over to the special counsel until a specific request was made for it. so again he doesn't have a desire to take this guy down, sussman. i think he has a desire to protect him. dana, you can't get away from

the fact that sussman sent baker a text and said i want to come and meet you on a really important issue and i'm not working on behalf of a client. i'm working on behalf of the american people. i'm just a concerned citizen. that's -- could you imagine the next day during the meeting between baker and sussman that sussman would say i lied to you in the text message last night to get this meeting. i'm really representing hillary clinton. that doesn't make any sense. i think the jury will be able to hopefully see through the different statements that were over the course of four years and look at the moment in time when the meeting happened and look to the fact that sussman was probably lying to the f.b.i. and saying i will get this meeting and i am a concerned citizen, not a campaign worker for hillary clinton. >> dagen: let's talk about the jury and jurors who are standing in judgment of michael sussman. the judge, judge cooper, denied a prosecution request to remove a juror who revealed thursday her daughter plays on the same high school crew team as sussman's daughter. he said he doesn't believe her

connection would affect her impartiality. there have been a number -- look at the jurors. one woman, her child knows sussman's daughter. one man donated to hillary clinton. one woman may have donated to hillary clinton. she wasn't sure. one woman whose husband worked on the 2008 campaign for hillary clinton. and then one jurors believes the legal system is racist. >> look at the evidence and base their decision based on the evidence presented in court. the problem here is you have political individuals. you have to really believe in politics to give to a candidate and you have a couple hillary clinton donors, aoc donor in there. connection between the families to their daughters on a crew team. this concerns me. maybe this is the best you'll get in washington, d.c. it is so far left. this was the biggest american story for years.

donald trump colluding with russia. i think a lot of people were emotionally invested in that fight on the left and the right and to have jurors who are so vested they gave money i think it skews this panel. to the earlier question, when you are able to muddy the water and say well, you have the star witness for the prosecution who has told different stories at different times the muddying of the water with jurors who already have probably a political bias because they are donors to one side and not the other actually opens the door, i think, for an acquittal here more so if you were in missouri or kansas or down in texas. >> dana: an interesting development certainly and we'll pay attention to it and you as well. thank you so much. sean duffy. >> have a great day. >> dana: a "new york post" editorial headline how the f.b.i. bigwig aided and abetted the hillary clinton plot. the quote is durham is pursuing a narrow indictment but he is exposing something far larger. unethical clinton campaign, a

biased government bureaucracies and beltway insiders who figured they could get away with anything. >> dagen: to that point, james baker labeled sussman a confidential f.b.i. source and so there was no chain of custody. the f.b.i. was not able to implement a chain of custody for these two thumb drives of data. and it just speaks to for lack of a better word, -- >> dana: you have a way with words. all right. more on the mid-terms coming up here. the race for the republican senate nomination in pennsylvania seemingly destined for a recount. what would it look like and how long would it take? we'll ask lee chapman, acting secretary of the commonwealth of pennsylvania. >> dagen: fox traveling to a recently-liberated village in eastern ukraine. what the people there witnessed during the russian occupation. >> dana: new study revealing the stunning impact of covid

lock downs on classroom. this america's leaders set this generation up for failure? we'll ask former education secretary bill bennett. >> this learning loss, this severe penalty that was felt by kids across the commonwealth of virginia but also across the nation for the shutdown in schools is translated into kids that are so far behind. mind wan a good place. but my body was telling a different story. i felt all people saw were my uncontrolled movements. some mental health meds can cause tardive dyskinesia, or td, and it's unlikely to improve without treatment. ingrezza is a prescription medicine to treat adults with td movements in the face and body. it's the only treatment for td that's one pill, once-daily, with or without food. ingrezza 80 mg is proven to reduce td movements in 7 out of 10 people. people taking ingrezza can stay on their current dose of most mental health meds. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to any of its ingredients.

ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including sleepiness. don't drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how ingrezza affects you. other serious side effects include potential heart rhythm problems and abnormal movements. it's nice people focus more on me. ask your doctor about ingrezza, #1 prescribed for td. learn how you could pay as little as zero dollars at ingrezza.com. veteran homeowners, this is the best time in history as little as zero dollars to turn your home equity into cash. because home values have climbed to all time highs. and so has your equity. turn it into cash now. the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. you could take out more than $60,000. use it to improve your home. pay off high rate debt. pay for big expenses. or put it in the bank for real peace of mind. turn your equity into cash with the newday100 va cash out loan call now.

>> dana: parents concerned about their kids' education have one more thing to worry about. learning loss during the pandemic may be even worse than what we saw in new orleans after hurricane katrina. our youngest children are the ones most hurt by covid lock downs. former education secretary bill bennett is a fox news contributor. we're seeing all of this or recognizing it now and it is so frustrating to think the people

who were making decisions weren't already planning ahead to try to get ahead of this problem. >> well, they weren't planning ahead and making the wrong decisions. the data is coming in. we don't have it all. but clearly severe learning loss during the covid period particularly for kids, minority kids, inner city kids, poor kids, and it does turn out to be more in the big cities and in democrat-run states. the states that remained open where classrooms remained open learning loss seems to be a good deal less. and one of the more interesting things in this is to find that the kids who remained in school not only learned more than the kids who were remote, but they didn't get covid in any numbers greater than the kids out. so it was smart to stay in school and people who kept their kids in school and

governors who kept their kids in school were smart. >> dana: we're showing on the screen the learning loss in terms of test scores. third graders down a little more than three points in math and reading and then you get to eighth grade and math down 4 1/2 points and reading down 3 points. how hard it is for kids like that to make things up. >> it is hard to make things up like that. do you know why math scores go down more than reading scores? because math is what you learn in school. there are more opportunities for reading outside of school, parents may read to you, others may read to you. help you along. >> dana: math is in the classroom. >> you really -- >> dana: do you think it's why one of the things we've seen the 1.2 million public school students have left since the pandemic began? some of them have gone -- most have gone to other schools like private school or some students not coming back at all. >> yeah.

that's one of the reasons parents detected learning loss. second, frustration on parents' part with the fact that, you know, people kept saying teachers unions and others well, we'll be back soon and never went back. didn't want to go back at all. the third thing, dana, is parents seeing what was going on in some classrooms and saying wait a minute. that's not math, reading, art, music and science. that's some kind of other agenda. all those factors weighed in. it has been a boom for home and private and catholic schools and other schools. look, i want public schools to shape up. a plan yesterday was released by governor youngkin in virginia and part of the reason he got elected governor was on the education issue. and it is a very, very good plan and i think people should take a look at it. it is about how to recover the loss. summer school and other things. >> dana: maybe the last thought from you about how education might play a factor in

elections this year. not just on a congressional and federal nations but state and county and school board races as well. >> absolutely. inflation is the first butted indication -- but education is an issue and republicans realize democrats shouldn't own the issue and don't deserve to have the issue. we'll see how much attention it gets. i hope it gets more attention. because what happens in schools now determines what happens in the nation later. there is a reason that we're seeing the -- the american culture the way it is. a lot is because of what's being taught in schools. >> dana: have a good weekend, thank you. >> great to see you both. >> dagen: gas prices hitting new all-time highs today for the fifth day in a row. what drivers have to say with even higher prices expected for

>> drivers are frustrated to say the least with these high prices. here in new jersey the average is $4.77 a gallon. the drivers i've spoken to say that they are starting to make life changes to avoid going to the pumps. >> this is ridiculous. you don't want to go anywhere. anywhere you go costs you -- for me i mean like $100 to fill up a tank. >> unfortunately analysts are expecting it will only going to get worse predicting we hit a national average of $5 a gallon this summer. aaa found that if or when we hit that $5 mark 70% of drivers say they will have to make changes. all of the u.s. is paying over $4 a gallon. six states paying over $5. with the increases in price, the average american family is now paying $5,000 a year in gas. that is up almost double from this time last year.

we're only just getting into the summer. memorial day weekend is that kickoff. we normally see the prices go up during the summer driving months. the $5 mark coming soon and have a greater impact on drivers. dagen. >> dagen: thank you for that, madison. >> we'll win this campaign. we'll win this campaign. [cheering and applause] >> we can see the path ahead. we can see victory ahead. >> when all the votes are tallied i'm confident we will win. we have the ability in pennsylvania to fight for the soul of this country. >> dana: the race for the republican senate nomination in pennsylvania is still too close to call. potential recount is looking more and more likely and my next guest says she should have the answer by next tuesday. the acting secretary of the commonwealth of pennsylvania is here. great to have you. where do things stand right now as these two wait to find out

who the winner will be? >> thank you so much for having me. you know, in pennsylvania we have an automatic recount law so if the margin is less than half of one percent it goes to an automatic recount. next steps in the process, canvassing boards are meeting today at 9:00 a.m. to process mail why and provisional ballots. any issues that might have happened and then on tuesday counties will send me the unofficial returns for the election. so i have to make that determination by thursday of next week as far as whether or not that the automatic recount will occur. one thing to note is the defeated candidate can waive -- it is also up to the candidates as well as to whether or not they want to proceed with a recount. if they do, if they don't waive and it is within that half of

one percent margin we will move forward with an automatic recount in pennsylvania. >> dana: with a state that is as diverse and amazing as pennsylvania is, there was concern out of lancaster county that county still counting thousands of ballots. a printing error. do you have more information about what happened there? >> yes. on the morning of election day they found there was an issue with the bar codes on the mail-in ballots. impacted 22,000 ballots. when they were pre-canvassing where in pennsylvania election officials aren't able to open and process the ballots until 7:00 a.m. on election day, they discovered the issue. so we've been in contact with lancaster county. they have actually continued and finished remarking those ballots and processed all of them. so that's completed as of now. right now statewide there are

around 20,000 mail-in ballots left to be counted. that will continue over the next few days. >> dana: are there any changes you would like to see before the general election in 2024 that would allow the commonwealth of pennsylvania to be able to call it on the night when the vote is happening in that same day? >> yes, pre-canvassing. open process those ballots. in lancaster the issue would have been discovered if counties have more time. we would like to look towards the gold standard like states like florida that allow for two weeks for county election officials to open and process the mail-in ballots. it will allow county election officials to identify any issues and receive results on election night which is what everybody wants. >> dana: we want that. we stayed up late watching bill hemmer at the board and no result. thanks, ms. chapman. we'll be back in touch with you.

you have a decision to make by next thursday. we'll pay attention. >> dagen: former new york city mayor bill deblasio not giving up on politics. breaking details on his second attempt to go to washington plus growing bipartisan anger over the migrant crisis. a texas democrat urging president biden to visit the border before title 42 expires. >> never bothered to talk about the border or has a concern to come down here and address one of the largest catastrophe that happened under his administration. like how i customized this scarf? check out this backpack i made for marco. only pay for what you need. ♪liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.♪

administration protecting citizens all across the border in multiple states, judge? >> well, i think it's safe to say most americans, including myself, feel that we have a situation that needs to be fixed. for the longest time congress and the executive branch has not gotten together. if you look at our immigration laws, so they can fit our current need for workers. as that continues, then the only choice that we have is enforcement approach to this immigration issue. i think it will take more than enforcement to cure the problem. i want my president to provide leadership and work with the legislative branch and solve this problem. >> dagen: judge, describe the situation in your county specifically right now even before title 42 is rescinded. >> well, you know, we have

immigrants crossing, as you can see here, the rio grande every day in different areas and volumes. it is a way of life for us. it has been happening for years and years. when president reagan was in office he gave amnesty to a lot of immigrants that came here legally. the best solution was to do that. congress never fixed the law. it caused the problem of having the illegals continue since 1986. so we continue to see this. now when you add the asylum seekers, so you add another wave of immigrants coming here and we have a capacity issue. we can simply not allow everyone that's having problems throughout world to come to the united states. that's what i believe. so if we don't have a capacity issue, then the proper people to solve it is congress along with our president. but our president needs to provide leadership to do that.

i'm tired of washington -- the crisis is in washington until they get together this problem won't be solved. >> dagen: can you get more democrats to speak out? maybe that would change things. >> well, you know, i'm not going to get into the political side of it. i'm a simple county judge. i have over a million people to take care of and i think -- i'm doing my job by advocating what i think is best for my community and i would like to see other representatives do that also. >> dagen: judge richard cortez. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> dana: got his hands full. ukraine's army pushing russian forces away from kharkiv. a 9-year-old saves her family when their home goes up in flames and now she is being hailed as a hero. how she did it and what her family has to say. we got to talk to the little girl and her dad coming up next. >> just seeing her with her brother at the top of the

trey. >> good morning. kharkiv is the second largest city in ukraine and continues to take fire from russian forces. we visited villages to the east recently liberated by the ukrainian army. i need to warn our viewers some of the following images are graphic. alexander opens the door of his stable revealing the body of a ukrainian soldier. when i saw him, i felt a lump in my throat, he says. i've got kids of the same age. the 59-year-old returned to the village yesterday only to find his home destroyed and many of his friends missing. citizens on our street were deported. there were cars with russian license plates and people were forced in. nearby we meet another person. she hid underground until the

area was liberated by ukrainian troops. i didn't see it because i was in the basement. >> you can hear some artillery still coming in. it must be difficult to hear that all the time. in the distance russian troops are 10 miles from this location. they have been pushed back by the ukrainians but still this area remains part of the battlefield. >> down the street at a school, the body of a russian soldier lace face up in the grass. this building was used as a headquarters for the russians before being retaken by the ukrainian army. you can see the level of destruction at this school. russian forces were here for weeks as they attempted to take ukraine's second largest city of kharkiv. ukrainian forces were able to push them back but the destruction left behind is significant. you can see here almost nothing left. despite fierce battles the city remains in ukrainian hands and

the ukrainian army is in high spirits. everybody is happy and welcomes us, one soldier explains. everybody is happy we liberated them. on a normal day it would take 30 minutes to drive to russia from here. it gives you a sense of how close the enemy is for those ukrainian troops. dagen. >> dagen: thank you for that and please stay safe. >> you saved your brother and sisters and mom and dad. we're very proud of you.

heroin. >> i feel great. >> dana: you heard some sounds and wanted to do what immediately? >> i wanted to go downstairs and check if my siblings were all safe. >> dana: and dad is phil. dagen jump in if you want to. i saw a little tape from very emotional and extremely proud of this young girl. can you describe what it was like that night in the home? >> yeah. you know, we woke up to noises, combustion going off in the garage and it was terribly just scary. but once we figured out what was going on and ran upstairs to get the kids just seeing her at the top of the stairs with her brother already was -- it

was a very proud moment. just seeing her already in action. and then even after getting her brother, ready to get her other siblings and get us out of the house was really neat. >> dagen: rae, how did you know to jump into action like that? did you even stop to try to remember what you had learned in school or did it just come naturally? >> it just came naturally because i have learned it multiple times. you just go after them. >> dagen: do you want to be a firefighter maybe now? >> kind of. >> dana: i know you said you wanted to be a police officer because you want to help people. maybe this will also be a skill you could learn. >> yeah. >> dana: yeah. >> dagen: tell me what your dad got you as a present for rescuing your brother and sister and saving the whole family, rae?

did you get something special like some ice cream at least? >> dana: i got a big old -- >> dana: interesting the school has the fire department come once a month to help teach kids. i don't know if that's certainly not done in every school district. that must make you feel good about the schools that they are in. >> it does. just the training that they put in and just the small tips that are easy to digest, easy for kids to wrap their heads around is really great. and just knowing that they are doing this on a regular basis to make it fun and inviting for the kids, as you can see it goes a long ways. >> dagen: rae, how about you teaching these classes in school? have you been sharing these lessons with your friends about what happened and how they can jump in, in an emergency just like you did?

>> yeah. i told the story and most people were shocked. >> dana: you will have a great essay topics for the rest of your life. phil, what about the home? what's the situation now? are you back in? >> no, we're in a rental right now. the demo starts on it shortly just with everything with supply chain and everything that goes on, you know, the timing of getting back in will be awhile. but we got out the main things that we need to get out with the family and the pets and the rest will just take its time to get rebuilt. >> dana: phil and rae, thank you for joining us today. you are very inspiring young lady and we look forward to seeing all you do in your life. thank you for being on with us today. >> thank you. >> dana: bye-bye. she is cute. a little shy. i would love to have her sitting right here. you and i aren't moms so are we

doing this right? there is a bride and groom running down the aisle in a ball of flames. these are two stunt professionals met on a film set. don't try this at home. i don't think rae and phil would approve. >> i would guarantee my hair would catch on file. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. >> harris: new territory for gasoline prices. we have now set a new record every single day for 11 straight days. this is more than just an inconvenience. as the average price of diesel for the trucks that bring us everything is also at an all-time high. the white house appears to be out of ideas and out of touch with what the american people are feeling. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". aaa says this time
