>> bill: news state side. not good on inflation. the white house in a full-court press the president admitting there is no quick fix. good morning. dana has some time off and back on monday. i'm bill hemmer and dragged back in today my friend. >> sandra: i happily return. i loved the coverage this morning. the 41 gun salute, flyover, all good stuff. >> bill: the queen looks wonderful. congratulations to our friends across the atlantic. >> sandra: i'm sandra smith. this is "america's newsroom."

one of the factors driving inflation is this nationwide labor shortage. it continues. take a look at these brand-new job numbers. a mere 128,000 added jobs to the private sector just last month. this is less than half what was expected. it marks the slowest growth since the start of the pandemic. >> bill: if that doesn't make you feel better this won't, either. gas prices hitting another record high, $4.71 a gallon. we have hit a daily new high almost every day over the past month. >> sandra: people are feeling it. president biden saying there is no near-term solution to the problem and now the head of a major american bank is forecasting disaster. >> it is a hurricane. right now it's sunny, things are doing fine. everyone thinks the fed can handle this. that hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way. we just don't know if it's a minor one or super storm sandy.

>> bill: north lawn of the white house, a lot of fires to put out there. jacqui heinrich begins our day. good morning. >> good morning. when the ceo of j.p. morgan chase is talking about the economic head winds and say i hope we'll be okay, who the hell knows. it is not exactly confidence inspiring. the president said this yesterday. >> president biden: there is a lot going on right now but the idea that we'll be able to, you know, click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in the near term nor is it with regard to food. >> the white house maintains the president's actions have kept prices from going higher. they say a lot of it is out of biden's hands because of the war in ukraine and they keep pushing the same spending plans as solutions even though they've been dead on capitol hill since christmas. and while the treasury secretary has finally admitted she was wrong to call inflation a small risk, manageable and not a problem, the white house

is not. in fact, they are kind of walking back her comments somewhat. >> the treasury secretary says she was wrong. why doesn't anybody here at the white house? >> what the secretary was pointing out, this is talking about yesterday when she was doing her hit with her tv hit with cnn is that there have been shocks to the economy that exacerbated inflationary pressures that couldn't have been foreseen 18 months ago. >> we're not only hearing republicans slam the white house but former obama administration officials, too. larry summers and former economic advisor steve ratner. yesterday they said the economy was overstimulated during the pandemic and causing inflation. white house officials are pushing back. some have a curious -- they ignore the degree high inflation is global, has been impacted by variants that impeded supply corrections and exacerbated by major energy

hikes due to putin aggression. we won't see the president today. until he heads out of the white house he will have a feast this weekend for the first lady's birthday. >> bill: kellyanne conway is coming up shortly. >> sandra: we look forward that. we're learning brand-new details this morning about a shooting rampage at a hospital complex in tulsa, oklahoma. the gunman killed four people and wounded several others before killing himself. a bomb threat nearly 50 miles away to that shooting. garrett tenney is live in chicago with the details. hi, garrett. >> good morning to you. at this point investigators still have a lot to go through but right now they do not believe that this was a random shooting and say the gunman went to the specific location and the specific office with a specific purpose. this took place just before 5:00 p.m. on the campus of st. francis hospital on the second

floor of the medical building inside an orthopedic center. the shooter, a black man between 35 and 40 was armed with a long rifle and handgun and killed four people before taking his own life. witnesses say it was pure madness inside the hospital after the first shots were fired. >> people had to hide in the closets to make sure we were safe. >> what was going on in your mind? >> fear, just fear. all the shooting going on and just fear. glad that we made it. >> officers were on the scene three minutes after the first 911 calls came in and immediately entered the hospital. local leaders are praising that fast response especially in the wake of officers holding back at the school shooting in uvalde, texas. >> i also want to express our community's gratitude for the broad range of first responders

who did not hesitate today to respond to this act of violence. the men and women of the tulsa police department did not hesitate. >> there was also a bomb scare last night an hour outside of tulsa after police received information the shooter may have left a bomb inside a home there. police tell us no explosives were found. we're expecting to get an update from tulsa police in a couple of hours where we can learn more information about the victims as well as the shooter. >> bill: l.a. now, a high school in california briefly on lockdown after a 16-year-old student was shot in front of the building. police saying the teen was crossing the street when the bullet hit him in the leg. he is in stable condition. students and staff remained inside grant high school for an hour before being released.

if shooting might be gang related. >> sandra: police in pennsylvania arresting a man accused of shooting a woman in a wal-mart parking lot about 130 miles outside of new york city. state and local police conducted a massive search for the suspect shutting down route 315 for hours during that manhunt. businesses near the scene also going into a brief lockdown. so far police have not filed any charges. >> bill: texas in a little bit and an update there. i came across this. a question was asked how much do you personally worry about crime and violence. 80% say a great deal or fair amount. you think about that issue, sandra, and that number on the left of your screen and a mid-term election five months from now. it will be on the ballot. crime, security, personal safety will all be there for the american people to decide.

>> sandra: it has only been going up. >> bill: we have this in the courtroom. johnny depp has won the mega million dollar defamation case against his ex wife, amber heard. that jury deciding that heard's domestic abuse claims were false and hurt depp's reputation. the jury did not believe her in the end. mark maier death has reaction and fallout today. >> johnny depp says with this trial over he can begin a new chapter in his life and career. it is still unclear how quickly that may actually happen. on wednesday a seven person jury agreed to depp's claims that he was defamed when she listed herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse. the jury ruled were meant to hurt depp and were false. he is owed about 10.3 million. ex-wife lost most of her counter suit but was awarded 2 million after the jury found

one of depp's lawyers defamed her by calling her accusations a hoax. cameras captured the moment depp's fans found oupt about the verdict. they were shouting johnny. he wasn't in virginia at all. depp was at a bar in new castle, england before the verdict was read. photos appear to show him hanging out with jeff beck. we also got a statement from depp after the verdict came out saying quote i hope my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women who have found themselves in my situation and those supporting them never give up. we heard from amber heard through a statement saying i'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence was not enough to stand up to the power and sway of my ex-husband. a social olist said it would inspire us to push for structural changes to the system stacked against us. we're hearing yet again from amber heard's legal team saying

she won't be able to afford to pay the $10 million owed to depp and they plan to appeal this ruling. it is unclear how quickly that may happen. >> bill: thanks for that. mark meredith. great work from the beginning of the six week trial. nancy grace joins us later this hour. her take on the outcome in the depp/heard case. stay tuned for that. >> sandra: meanwhile, it's a dance. >> bill: it is a dance, that's right. we're doing it well. >> sandra: to you, sir. >> bill: thank you. the economy shrinking. its burdens on borders seismic. the white house doesn't seem to have a solution. will a red tidal wave happen this year? >> sandra: return to the office or else, that's elon musk's new warning to his workers.

>> bill: 70 years of queen elizabeth's royal reign. missing from the balcony harry and meghan. the royal rift and 70 years on the -- >> they must feel separated. >> there is very bad blood now. they aren't allowed on the balcony. the work they do is feather their own nest in california, not serve the british people.

>> bill: 16 past. white house scrambling to get ahold of inflation. gas prices hitting another record. we mentioned that a moment ago, $4.71 a gallon. the author of a new book called here is the deal. the former counselor to president trump kellyanne

conway with us in studio. good morning to you. congratulations, you debuted at number one. well done. we'll ask about that in a minute. first talking about gasoline, the price people are paying and baby formula. i thought there were two comments from the president yesterday that were quite revealing. here is one of them from the white house. >> president biden: there is a lot going on right now but the idea we will be able to, you know, click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in the near term nor is it with regard to food. >> bill: okay, gas, food. he found out about baby formula in april. put all that together. >> i know many people are frustrated. i fell consternation toward the way the white house is addressing a manmade disaster. people are blaming this administration for not intervening and doing enough to ease the pain folks feel at the pump on the grocery store

shelves and now with infant formula. there is evidence some people in the administration knew as early as last fall with the infant formula. what americans have an expectation of is your leaders acknowledge the problems and pain people feel. what people are saying to the white house everyday life is becoming unaffordable. do something. do something. they don't want to hear the president of the united states blame the president of russia. they don't want to hear brian deese who has the job larry kudlow used to have say it is the fed's fault. that's washington speak. the landscape owner from the local community today who had to fill up four or five trucks today to get on the job, he is feeling the pain and looking toward washington saying why do you always make problems worse? i feel in this white house you cannot solve a problem until you first acknowledge it. you have never seen, bill,

sandra, more straight forward plain as day polling numbers about what people want. they are saying the number one issue to them are rising costs, inflation, immigration. they look at the border, they look at ukraine, they look at the gas pump and see crisis and chaos everywhere they go. now they have a president and spokes people saying don't believe what you see, believe what we say. >> sandra: people are seeing through that. you see the latest gallup poll. we talked about this for days now. top of the list the government poor leadership, 19%. it is up there with inflation. you know, rewind even further than a lot of what you just said and chef of staff to the president ron klain when inflation first started saying these are high-class problems. this is not an administration that has sympathized or showed empathy with the american people over what they've been going through as far as messaging.

you have insight to what it is like inside the white house trying to deal with a crisis like this. how could they be doing better? what should they do now? >> you said something very important. jen psaki pretended it was a high-class problem. people can't get treadmills from the supply chain. when you don't empathize with people you won't convince them you have the leadership skills necessary. remember the forgotten man, woman and child were central to the trump/pence victory and four years in the white house. and you did have a president constantly saying what did i promise and say and how can we do it? this white house they pretend they can't do anything about the problems and to your point, when you have the president -- you have half the personnel leaving for whatever reason, 13 high-level departures from the vice president's office and people still there not being able to produce a solid credible message, a credible messenger, and to deliver that message in a way that sooths

people's pain and makes them feel you have a plan moving forward, it is -- any white house, i did it plenty, you have to say today or this week has been a rough time for the home team. you have to get the president on camera, you have to bring the press into the oval office, you have to get the president to the briefing room. let them see leadership. every time we hear from the president he makes it worse because he never actually says i'm sorry, i take responsibility. i think joe biden is two things right now as the public sees him and the polls show. one is he is starting to sound more and more like a creature of washington of 50 years and he is not able to pull across the aisle into those relationships with republicans or to tap into the good standing around the world. it seems he is making all of that worse. number two, he sounds like somebody who never takes responsibility and accountability. so for example when there was a government shutdown over immigration over the border funding president trump went into the first oval office

address in prime time. he brought in the press and they had lunch with him and explained what the plan was. he saw that shierm and pelosi and others were gaining ground as the new majority in congress to say it's donald trump's fault. it wasn't. they were holding up the funding. you have to say this is not going well. president trump had 61% of handling of covid and it was incumbent to say ventilators, ppe. >> bill: you explain the issue and problem. >> you take responsibility. here is the plan. >> bill: the problem he has he can't defend his own ideas. he can't defend his own policy. >> he doesn't see it as a manmade disaster. >> bill: it goes back to kabul and afghanistan last year. i remember when fred smith retired, ceo of fedex just said.

he was on with bret six weeks ago and there was a question related to politics and he artfully side stepped saying i will tell you what i remember. being in the oval office with barack obama. you want to know what my poll numbers are in they directly correlate to the price of gasoline across america and now they are laser focused on this and not doing much about it because of the policies that they put in place. >> yes, the policies is action and inaction. you will see in the fall, in 2020 not a sij incumbent republican lost congress. the 15 blue to red seats that happened were held and won by women, minorities, veterans or a combination there of. this cycle republicans are a much more diverse field now. you will see a monster year for republicans in large part because of what you are saying. >> bill: you will see some surprises in parts of the country that people can't predict. congratulations on the book. >> i appreciate it thank you.

>> bill: why did you write it? what did you want to say, kellyanne? >> people know the store eefs behind the story. i grew up very modestly. how did it go from the tiny rancher with four tiny women all the way to the white house and how were decisions made in the trump white house? we miss right now a president who was transparent and brought the press into the oval office and went out to the briefing room himself and day-by-day communicated with the public so everyone had the same instant free of charge communication from our president and his spokes people. people didn't like his twitter feed. guess what? when donald trump was in office and mike pence was in office no one ever asked who was in xharj and what's next? we're missing that right now. scouring all the polling numbers they say the same. inflation, cost of living is on the rise, everyday affordability, lack of security, crime on the rise and border security. here is what the biden people are missing. they came into office and they

had two things going for them that they can no longer rely upon. they can say but trump. blame trump. they can no longer do that. they've been there for a year and a half. they thought covid was an advantage for them and thank god we no longer have covid to the point we did. they haven't been able to transition of how do we keep saying to people do this, do that on covid and we can blame trump. it is time for them to take responsibility and accountability. i would love for the president to come out and say i'll bring some republicans in and try to get things done. he has made inflation worse by spengd. if americans can't spend their own hard earned money they don't have financial freedom anymore you as the government can't spend more. that's the deal. thanks for having me. >> bill: nice to sigh. >> sandra: the white house reversing course on sending medium range rocket systems to ukraine. will they help turn the tide of this war? who better to ask than general

jack keane. coming up unlike president biden a group of congressional republicans are vitsing the southern border getting a firsthand look how the mexican drug cartels are operating there without any fear. >> they are doing it very efficiently and they are making a mockery of our policies and they are putting our united states citizens in danger. that just should never be allowed to happen from a president or an administration. ♪ ♪ dry eye symptoms keep driving you crazy?

budget committee led by the ranking member. just moments ago we saw the tail end of a group of more than 200 migrants. from the northern triangle. honduras, guatemala and el salvador. family units and unaccompanied minors. a plastic baggy sealed up containing a number of a woman in miami and i gave that to the border patrol in terms they could link it up. they saw every inch of this sector on the boats they traveled with the texas dps and challenges of patrolling the 200 plus miles of the river and went to the donna processing center where congressman buddy carter called it a humanitarian crisis overflowing and they saw the pile after pile of unused border wall material which they said is a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars of federal tax money. after the whole thing they had a round table with the mayor in mcallen and we talked to jason smith and here is what he had

to say about the cartels profiting. >> the fact that the cartels are benefiting from the policies this administration has brought forward, benefiting them and enriching them by $32 million a day by human trafficking. a billion dollars a month is unacceptable. we must shut down these policies. >> the message that congressman smith the border patrol agents wanted to give him they are doing their best, simply overworked and everyone here very worried about title 42 and the uncertainty with which it might lift soon and that would be something they've never seen here as they are already unable to deal with the numbers they are seeing every day, sandra. >> sandra: griff jenkins. thanks. >> bill: is there a potential game changer now in the fight against putin's army? the u.s. sending advanced rocket systems to ukraine as the russian invasion enters the fourth month. moscow says the transfer is prove octobertive. >> president biden made clear

we have no intention of coming into direct conflict with russia. we don't have an interest in the conflict in ukraine widening to a broader conflict or he vofmg into world war iii. the russians can end the conflict any time they want if they are wary of escalation all it takes is one man to say stop. >> bill: general jack keane. the medium range rockets can travel up to 40 or 50 miles. we have longer-range rockets that can travel about 160 or 170 miles. it will take upwards of a month to train the ukrainians to use the medium-range rockets. in the end is that helpful or too late in your view? >> well, it took far too long for the united states to say yes to what i thought was an obvious request. we've given the ukrainians over 100 horowitzers, the problem we have is the russians are relying on their artillery. the one system that is truly

working for them. their ground maneuver systems, armor and infantry are under performing. artillery is significant in terms of the numbers. they outnumber the ukrainians and outrange them. it is the long-range artillery the ukrainians are trying to get to and want the systems because of the range they have. and 40 miles starts to get at that problem. the concern i think it took a long time to make this decision. i think it should have been made way back when we were making the howitzer decision knowing the russians had long-range artillery. they have a lot of multiple rocket launchers they have to devastate the impact on the ukrainians. it is an artillery war here, bill and grinding down the ukrainians. they have had a really rough week here with the russians taking control of a city and

when that completely collapses the entire luhansk province will be under russian control. is a step in the right direction. i don't think it will take three weeks to train the ukrainians on a system like that. i think you could train them in a number of hours to get them to do it. it is a simple system to work. the issue is where are those systems? i think they are already in europe. get the training done, get them in the hands of the ukrainians as quickly as possible and see if we can get them more systems than the four that we're providing. >> bill: last point here. we're told the russians make progress, slow progress but progress is still progress. there is a piece filed two days ago that says we must admit that russia is winning this war and ukraine is losing it. do you agree? >> no, i don't agree with that. are they grinding down the ukrainians in the south? yes. have they changed their tactics?

yes. when they went into the donbas region the russians made the same mistake when they tried to attack the whole country at one time and they were attacking in the donbas region four ways. now they are attacking one city only and being deliberate. they've changeed their tactics. it has helped them. the ukrainians are conducting a counter attack in kherson, they are pushing back successfully. the issue in front of us is will the ukrainians be able to mount counter attacks and counter offensive to take territory back. can they generate the combat power to do that. the several of done as being as hurt them. i believe the ukrainians have the will to push back and whether to be able to do that or not remains to be seen. it will be very challenging but when it comes to actual units

fighting ukrainian units fighting russian units, the ukrainian units are better at that fight and well oh he see how it unfolds. >> bill: nice to sigh. -- see you. thank you for coming on today. >> sandra: ukraine celebrating a stunning upset at the world cup playoffs beating heavily favor scotland. the victory pushes ukraine one step closer to qualifying for the world cup in november. but it is also giving the war torn country a huge morale boost. ukraine soldiers watching the game. a much-needed break after fighting putin's forces and beating heavily favored scotland in scotland. an added plus. >> bill: i think they have to win one more and they qualify. we may know this weekend. we may. it would be a great story. >> sandra: what a celebration. >> bill: world cup is on fox. check it out. president biden cancelling billions of dollars in student loans and could more be on the

government to make sure -- since day one of the recall to do everything that we can. >> the president has multiple issues, crises at the moment. >> sandra: the end cut was in response to a reporter saying what is your response to the president's words just a few moments ago saying he didn't learn about this until april after the white house is pushing this idea it was a full government response dating back to february. she chose not to weigh in on the president's word she didn't hear yet. >> bill: it was before february in michigan that finds the possibility that they knew there were issues. before last fall. >> sandra: i've been digging into this. i pulled the timeline dating back to september 2021 with our brain room that shows the fda conducted this inspection of that plant, noted that personnel working directly with the formula did not properly wash their hands and didn't change gloves after touching this. this goes back to september and the president saying he learned about it in april. >> bill: more to come on that.

if you were watching yesterday after the afternoon virginia found amber heard did defame her ex-husband, johnny depp in the op-ed she wrote in the "washington post" in 2018. "new york post" cover today, johnny be good. nancy grace is the host of crime stories on fox nation. good day to you. i got a clip from jonathan turley that i want to play but first your reaction. were you surprised that the jury said they just did not believe her stories? >> no, i was not surprised. at the get-go i called it a split verdict and that's exactly what the jury handed down finding mostly for johnny depp. they also found for amber heard in one of her claims based on something that depp's lawyer stated as depp's agent.

i was not surprised and i will tell you why. once a jury doesn't believe you. once you are caught in lie after lie after lie. it may be on a small issue such as taking a poop in the bed and not tipping off the tmz. the perfect shot of her bruise on the side of her face when she filed for the tro and lying about a charitable donation. she could have just said you know what? i had good intentions. i know that's not enough. i did give $2 million but i ran out of money. i ran out of money. and i want to make good. why not say that instead of lying about it? once they smell her lies it's over. they don't believe her and they don't accept her testimony. >> bill: the clip from turley. play this from hannity last night. >> the aclu really does deserve a front row seat in terms of

blame. they played a critical role. they helped draft the defamatory statement. they disregarded the counter veiling arguments of depp or the possibility he might be innocent and elevated this person as the presumptive spokesperson for all abused spouses. >> sandra: maybe there is blame to be spread around here. >> absolutely. the aclu is the entity who largely wrote this article. and then she accepted it and ratified it under the law by posting it out. so both of them had a lot to do with this. why did he, depp, not sue the aclu? they could fight back better. i think that's a strategic trial maneuver and he was right. >> sandra: clay travis on hannity. >> there probably is a claim against the "washington post". it was an op-ed piece, right? she is claiming to tell the truth. to what extent was there an investigation done?

they definitely wrote the headline, a major consequential aspect of this case. the "washington post" has sold the hashtag believe all women. they have sold me too. >> sandra: perhaps some accountability there, too. >> yeah, there are plenty of entities at which you could point the finger. i'm telling you a tried and true trial truthism and that is i don't care what you did wrong, but don't lie on the stand. don't put perfume on the pig. a jury will smell it a mile away. i've experienced it and made that mistake with a jury before and i nearly lost the case because i tried to puff up the witness. not let the jury know all the horrible things about her. they found out. it almost cost me a true verdict. that's what you don't want to do is lie on the stand. >> bill: noted.

>> bill: here is an act of herroism. watch as a car clips the back of a motorcycle. two riders in south carolina. look at that. they both tumble off the bike. bystanders rush to the scene, lift the vehicle, get the motor cyclists out. both riders treated for non-life threatening injuries. in the end the outcome was good. the car's driver, however, was arrested. >> sandra: thanks to those who step in. meanwhile, queen elizabeth joining members of the royal family on the balcony of buckingham palace to watch a military fly over part of the platinum jubilee for the queen's historic seven decade reign. the return of harry and meghan has gotten a lot of attention. douglas murray, fox news contributor. great to see you. how do you explain to our

audience who saw that picture there of the queen up on the balcony without harry and meghan? >> well, it was announced that only senior members of the royal family would be on the balcony to greet the crowds and see the flyover. of course, harry and meghan stepped back from being senior royals some years ago now. they voluntarily of their own decision decided to step back from royal duties. so that is the reason why they're not there. the queen has made it perfectly clear that she wants the suffolks to be at the event. she wants them to be part of it and that's very important and shows the queen wants to try to make sure the family is as reunited as possible.

the sussexs are not serving royals. they do not act or operate as serving members of the royal family and therefore they wouldn't be in the formal part of the balcony celebration. >> sandra: of course, it was a beautiful morning, a beautiful day for those who did watch. the 41 gun salute, flyover. the queen certainly seemed to take it all in and enjoy it herself as she stood on the balcony and we all watched. but there does seem to be some nervousness about what might happen next with harry and meghan. this is true royalty tv co-founder nick bolan talking to fox digital. nervousness on what could be said any time. every time harry and meghan have been with the royal family recently stories have come out about what went on in those meetings and those moments. there is a lot of nervousness about what will be said. i will add this.

it is unfortunate. that country embraced that couple. i was there on the ground reporting for their wedding back in 2018 and they embraced them and we're so far from that moment now. >> absolutely. i couldn't agree more. on the day of the wedding, the country was just thrilled in so many ways. first of all to welcome as it were an outsider to the fold. somebody who was an american. this was a great thing. people were keen on it and a star of the screen. people were thrilled with that and thrilled about the fact that the royal family therefore became multi-racial family and that the queen's first great great grandchild would be a multi-racial baby. people were thrilled by that. britain is a multi-racial country and this presented a terrific sort of healing and an example of what britain in the 21st century will be like and everyone was positive about

that. and it was only when harry and meghan started to use the royal family and to threaten them and lie about them and defame them. and then simultaneously claim that they wanted privacy and get followed around all the time by netflix crews making them millions of dollars. the public started to turn. >> sandra: some of us are still hoping for a happy reunion, you know. to see will and harry back together like the brothers they once were. hopefully they will be again. thank you very much. >> bill: you know what you are getting into when you marry into the royal family, right? 10:00 in new york. crime and violence in america spiraling higher. new data showing police are under siege across the country as we begin a new hour. i'm bill hemmer. dana has a few days off and back on monday. >> sandra: i think back to the royal wedding. the country was so enthusiastic

about this couple and it was a happy time and i watched will's and harry, it was one of my happiest moments, windsor. you wish they could get back to that again. >> bill: some day. today is not the day. take some time. harry is still in the chicken coop out in california as we saw. >> sandra: he is at buckingham palace today. this is "america's newsroom." a new report showing last year was one of the most dangerous ever for law enforcement in this country. we're watching the data. the f.b.i. has revealed 73 officers were killed in the line of duty. an average of one every five days. 24 of them murdered in cold blood, ambushed without warning. a fear officers must live with every single day when they put on that uniform putting themselves in harm's way to keep us all safe. >> police officers that are strictly targeted because of the uniform they're wearing, that's it. no other reason. now that these are increasing

across the country, the horrible stories, more and more officers themselves every time they put on their uniform they have to think about this. >> bill: matt finn begins our coverage in los angeles on this today. hello. >> data from the f.b.i. shows those 73 police officers were murdered last year and that's 27 more officers killed than in the previous year of 2020. the average age of those murdered officers was 39 years old. the majority were white male. data shows 61 of those officers were killed with a gun and the f.b.i. reports none of the officers that were murdered last year were in the northeast. 44 were killed in the south. 13 here in the west and 12 in the midwest where just yesterday a female chicago police officer was shot while attempting to make a traffic stop on the city's south side. her condition is reported as serious but stable. >> today's incident highlights the danger of this job. our officers have a difficult

and very, very dangerous job in attacking gun violence. but they run toward things. they risk their lives every single day for all of our safety. >> the f.b.i. released new police use of force data from last year collected from more than 8,000 law enforcement agencies. that data shows more than half of police use of force incidents in 2021 resulted in serious bodily harm. 32% caused the death and 17% involved an officer discharging their firearm. the overwhelming majority, 56% of these interactions began because officers were responding to unlawful or suspicious activities. looking at the types of resistance officers encountered in the incidents, most often police encountered people who failed to comply with verbal commands or flashed a weapon at an officer. >> bill: matt finn leading our

coverage. >> sandra: another economic headache for the biden administration after another disappointing jobs report. 128,000 jobs were added in may. well below the estimate of 300,000 jobs. the president now looking to switch up the media narrative on the sour state of the u.s. economy pushing for even more spending while americans are paying more for just about everything. we have team coverage for you with karl rove standing by. we go to fox business's edward lawrence live with a look at this from the white house this morning. >> certainly the economy sending mixed signals. that report the private sector payroll report 128,000 jobs added back in may. that's the weakest monthly gain since april of 2020 just after the pandemic started. it could be an indication that the economy is slowing some but you have workers pay that has risen. still, when you add in the

inflation at 8.3% workers' pay dropped 3% from a year ago and gas prices hit a record high again rising 5 cents overnight. yesterday answering peter doocy's question president joe biden admitted for the first time he has no immediate fix for that. >> president biden: we can't take immediate action that i'm aware of to figure out how to bring down the price of gasoline to $3 and we can't do it immediately for food prices, either. we can compensate by providing for other necessary costs for families by bringing those down. >> the associated press reporting the president is leaning towards a visit to saudi arabia to meet the prince he shunned as a killer. white house representatives have gone to the opec country in recent weeks to try to ask saudi arabia to pump more oil. republicans say it makes the president look weak. >> look how sad it is that we are looking to saudi arabia to

bail us out of high energy prices. we've tried to become energy independent. we achieved it under the previous administration. >> and pushing more spending. the white house argument is yes inflation is high but if they spend more to bring costs down in certain areas like childcare to help certain people then it will be okay for the rest of us. >> sandra: edward lawrence, thank you. >> bill: let's bring in karl rove. good morning. a couple of things here. you filed a rebuttal of sorts. two days ago joe biden wrote in the "wall street journal" the headline is my plan for fighting inflation. some debated whether or not there was a plan in that piece. you responded today saying biden has no plan to fight inflation and your final line. what democrats will discover you can't talk or write your way out of a mess, mr. president. chief executive wins or loses public confidence because of his record.

on inflation, yours is lousy and your op-ed ain't a plan, either. explain. >> well here is what his article was. he said everything is good, the economy is really good and it is because of my policies on the economy and vaccination and my point was people don't feel that it is good and they also think to the degree the economy has come back with jobs and growth is because we are naturally recovering from the end of the pandemic shutdowns and they don't credit the president and why we have terrible numbers on the approval of his handling of the economy. 35% approve. while we have the lowest economic confidence index according to gallup since we had near the end of the great recession in 2009. he said i have a plan, i have a plan. some of it is repetitive. we'll work on doing something about those supply chains and we'll do something about infrastructure. haven't you -- didn't we pass a bill on infrastructure in november and haven't you been

working on supply chains since you got into office and recycle the spending programs. the argument esche has is we'll pass green new energy, we'll pass childcare, elder care, a whole bunch of social programs to take money out of the pockets of most americans and give it to some americans and that will lower the cost for them. that ain't a plan. and then he made these claims i have reduced the deaf si. which got him three pinocchios when he said it. let's have an open debate between republicans and democrats to work it out after he slams republicans that also won him critical comment from the "washington post" fact checkers. it was bad but i found out this morning it's even worse than i thought it was. this morning this is the headline in the "washington post". biden's fantastic claim of $500 in annual utility savings. in his article he says utility executives told me if they pass

my green energy plan you will have $500 less a year in utility costs. first of all, he didn't hear it from utility executives. somebody in the white house read it in a report. it is not about utility costs, the savings are on us all getting electric cars and not paying for gas. and it is an estimate for 2030. he won't even be in office then. the president got three pinocchios today from the "washington post". where are the fact checkers in the white house and the person who said we can't have the president of the united states say something that is fundamentally untrue. why don't we get it right? >> sandra: the white house is saying this is a president that has been the best with tackling inflation and bringing down gas prices. if that's the case he plan has not been working. karl, you go back to two days ago when he published this piece or blueprint for fixing the economy in the "wall street journal" and gas prices have gone up 10 cents since then. the messaging certainly isn't working. the question at this point when

you see these record-high prices, should anyone be surprised? you rewind to this moment on the debate stage when president biden and president trump debated the future of the oil industry. listen. >> would you close down >> president biden: i would transition from the oil industry, yes. i will transition. i would stop -- >> why would you do that? >> president biden: the oil industry pal utes significantly. here is the deal. let me finish the statement. because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time. over time. >> sandra: now there are reports from bloomberg that the president's planning a trip to saudi arabia. i don't know to potentially increase oil output abroad rather than here at home. he broadcast this clearly back in 2020. >> he was even more explicit in

the democratic debates. he said absolutely we'll stop -- shut down the oil and gas industry. think about this. he doesn't need to go to saudi arabia. he has already been begging the saudis and the oil producers in the middle east to pick up the slack from the united states. he has taken a series of steps that have been designed to shut down, reduce the amount of oil and gas production in the united states and stop exploration. just a couple of weeks ago they took a huge amount of offshore leasing possibilities off the table and said you can't do it. they are leasing 20% of what they should be leasing and offshore and onshore they have fade to meet a federal law that requires them to put up a certain amount of acreage each year for leasing. they are violating the law. it is a deliberate effort to shut down the american oil and gas industry and does anybody think the people in the middle

east are as environmentally sensitive as we are in this country how we produce oil and gas and refine it? heck no. this is where we are with this administration. they don't have a plan and they think we're dumb enough to buy this and we ain't buying it. >> bill: technology has come so far. thank you. check again. "wall street journal." in black and white. thank you, karl. elon musk ordering tesla employees to come back to the office or quit. is it fair? tyrus has a lot to say about that. >> sandra: the white house is sending mixed messages on when this president was alert evidence to the formula crisis in the first place. >> what you hear from the president is his frustration with the issue itself, with american families having to deal with and what they are going through.

>> president biden: i became aware of this problem sometime in -- after -- in early april about how intense it was. and so we did everything in our power from that point on and that's all i can tell you right now. >> bill: that was revealing. april, this despite the white house claiming it had been

working around the clock on it since february. lydia hu has more from the new york city newsroom on the shortage and how we are going to make it up. hello, lydia. >> this discrepancy came to light during a meeting yesterday with executives from five baby formula companies. the manufacturerers say they warned retailers in february of baby formula shortages. that was around the time the abbott michigan plant closed and the recall was announced. >> from the moment that recall was announced, we reached out immediately to retail partners like target, wal-mart to tell them this is what we think will happen. we knew from the very beginning it would be a very serious event. >> president biden said he was not made aware of the shortage until april. data shows nationwide outages were already at 30 and 40% for the month. president biden then said i don't think anyone anticipated the impact of the shutdown of

one facility and went on to say when we learned the extent and how brad it was we put everything into gear. the discrepancy comes on the heels of the fda chief admission that the agency worked too slowly. now the american public waits for the resupply of baby formula. the white house is launching a new website invoking the defense production act and later this week abbott will reopen that michigan plant. saturday is the target date, four months after it closed. the product it makes won't reach shelves until six to eight weeks and in the meantime operation fly formula. 8 million bottles worth will be flown in from the u.k. and australia. the president said it will be two months until formula supply is back to normal. >> bill: we hope two months.

lydia, thank you. fox business. >> sandra: elon musk has an ultimatum for his tesla employees. he says workers have to come back to the office full-time or find another job. joining us now fox nation host tyrus. you work 40 hours a week. >> that is the rumor. i will not confirm or deny that. >> sandra: do you think that these ceos are in the place where they can do this now? >> they have to because boots on the ground, guys at the fact reese. when you look and see the leadership is not there and home and making facebook videos instead of work videos. they need to get back. i applaud elon for doing this. we're getting back to work but not seeing the same level of production we saw before covid before stimulus checks. so it starts at the top. you get those guys back in. make them accountable and it will trickle down and we'll start seeing where people

aren't frustrated every time they get services denied. >> sandra: the data did show in some employees made this case for a while that production actually sustained and some cases went up immediately after people were sent home. but that was with employees that were hired pre-covid. there were already trained in the office and met their colleagues and known the systems. now hiring in this environment they are noticing a drop in production. >> you can't maintain that. if i could stay home with my kids every day, my gutfeld stuff wouldn't be very good. it would all be related to what happened that day. any daughter didn't do her homework. >> bill: this email traveled as fast as a tweet from elon musk. anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week or depart tesla. less than we act of factory workers and a follow up. if you don't show up we'll assume you have resigned.

>> he will make it easy. you don't have to call in or give an excuse or say i need more time for family or whatever. i like this. we've seen it with netflix and other corporations we need to get back to work. it starts at the top. this is a good call. >> bill: it shows the pride he takes in the products he is making. anyone who wants to be involved in cutting edge technology you can't phone it in. another topic out of california on reparations. what's the story? >> my home state. you know, when i first -- face value you are like this is a conversation starter. i get it. i always preferred recognition than giving a check. just recognizing the wrongs and we've obviously learned from it and in a good place today. when you read the bill it is more about voting rights for people who are in prison, for felons. >> bill: what do you mean?

>> they'll give -- brothers will get cheaper mortgage, less mortgage and lower taxes. if you work hard and you pay your bills on time you have good credit you will get a good mortgage rate anyway. the other thing was if you read the bill it was trying to open up for felons to be able to vote if you are incarcerated. to me it feels like what it is really about and one of those things, those woke ideas that sound good on the surface but when you get into it, there is no real teeth there. >> bill: is this something the governor would sign? >> of course he would because he is woke. one of the things on paper it looks like this wonderful thing like oh we're doing this thing and be so great for everybody. you actually read it. it is not what it says it is. >> sandra: tell us how you really feel. >> i don't need a check. just acknowledge it and move forward, which we already do in this country. >> bill: we shall.

>> shock, right? we're scared to say anything. >> sandra: not at all. we're listening. >> bill: it's the reason why we brought you on. sensitive topics like this. people think that reparations are part of american history and should be paid out to justify previous sins, let's say. >> again, me, my friends, my brothers and family we feel the same way we talk about it. a check opposed to recognition is -- i don't like the idea of saying we need help and we're not making it. that seems to be the woke message always. like we can't take a joke, we can't apply for a regular job, we have to be put in boxes and spaces made for us because we can't do it ourselves. it is infuriating. that is not anything about african-american culture. we have worked our ass off for everything.

>> sandra: black economic growth and prosperity have been hindered by racist policies aimed at suppressing african-americans even after the end of slavery. that's what it is meant to address. >> if this would have come out after jim crow i would be all for it. we are a long way from that and we are in a different place today. >> bill: you are saying it's history and done. >> i'm ready to move on. i don't speak for every brother or sister in the country. >> sandra: the question is are you willing to work 40 hours a day? >> i never stop working. >> bill: in the office. >> i have an office at home and i have an office up there. i'm in the office. >> bill: good luck to your celtics tonight. >> sandra: love see you on gutfeld. >> bill: sex education starting in elementary school? concerned parents fairfax virginia saying no so fast and how they are standing up for their kids. president biden sinking in the polls and putting democrats down ballot in jeopardy by the

it's a great example of why we deploy in the field the way we do. >> bill: no motive given on that. iran historically denies any form of cyberattacks. >> sandra: school officials in fairfax county, virginia pushing to add sex education lesson plans that start in elementary school. parents are saying not in our kids' classrooms. david spunt live on that for us. >> to be clear, this is a proposal, it has not been enacted right now and would affect the family life education class also once known as the sex education class or sex education. it takes place in fairfax county in northern virginia. fairfax county has been a hot bed of controversy over social issues and neighboring loudoun county in the public school system in the past year, year and a half. fairfax county is one of the best districts in the nation. they delayed a vote to make changes to the curriculum.

it would include eliminating separate gender classes. boys and girls would be mixed for discussion of puberty and sexual reproductive system and board will increase penalties formal i shallous misgendering peers and dead naming. a word used to refer to someone by a name they used before transitioning. even though the school board delayed the vote last thursday, a week ago today, concerned parents showed up en masse and had a unified message to board members just leave things the way they are. >> it's really important to concentrate on the reading, writing and argt ith me particular. >> too far, too much, too young. >> [inaudible] >> we reached out to fairfax

public schools. they say they believe every student has a right to be respected. our students' rights and responsibilities insures that all students at fcps feel welcome and safe in their learning environment. no student should ever have to be faced with persistent and deliberate bullying or harassment in our schools. the vote is expected to happen as early as jun 16th. back to you. >> sandra: we'll watch for it. david spunt, thank you. >> bill: the far left making another gain in the voting booth. jamie mccloud skinner ousting a moderate democrat incumbent in oregon. her win causing it to lean democrat to toss-up. it's a race. she will face our next guest in november. the former mayor of happy valley, and thank you so much for being here today and good morning to you. i have a few specific questions

for you, okay? why did the progressive beat kurt shrader? >> well, again, as we are seeing, the policies coming out of portland and the one-party system in oregon i think they have decided they need the far progressive left to impose these policies throughout oregon. i can tell you from this race that is not what oregon five needs or wants. >> bill: kurt shrader has had the job for a long time. joe biden hasn't chipped in in a lot of these races so far but he did in this one. why did his endorsement not matter in the end? >> i think that extreme radical left was too far left for joe biden's policies. it is a failed policy and kurt shrader couldn't hold onto the seat anymore because he couldn't prove whether he could be moderate to republicans because he has moved so far left to hold that seat and they ate their own and took him out for those reasons.

we will get more of the same. >> bill: we may. it's something we won't find out for another five months. living on the east coast we only hear largely about portland. what is the status of that city today and what it has done in terms of policing and stopping all the madness that was happening over the past two years? >> the failed poll -- police we're seeing crime rise very rapidly. we saw shootings over the weekend. we're seeing prices rise, gas prices rise, the failed policies, homeless crisis is bleeding into the sush. oregon five i believe has had enough and they will stand up and you will get more of the same from my opponent. if you want change, those independents and non-affiliated voters will swing to the right and we'll pick up the seat in november. somebody with a proven track record, a mom with kids in the education system.

a family business we built for 18 years and being a mayor. understanding what people on the ground want. people are hurting, bill, as you know from your reporting. people are trying to figure out what makes sense to them and it feels like a little whirlwind and we don't know when it will stop. it made some changes and oregon will finally be on the map. >> bill: one of the elections you'll see pop-up surprises in parts of the country where you can't anticipate or we'll wait in november to see whether it happens. last question. you say your priorities are the economy and education. you talk about a parental bill of rights. what is that? >> i raised twin girls through the education system and knew how important it was for me to be in the classroom. we have to get that political agenda out of the classroom. we see it as a political football. parents deserve to be heard in the classroom. the school boards, this last report you just had on we cannot have transgender discussions and sexual orientation to be the top

priority. reading, writing, math, history, civics brought back and that's what parents are wanting. they want to know their kids are dropped off. well taught and home and being on the national playing field with an educated workforce. parents have a right to stand up and i think covid exposed that and i will be on the side of those parents. >> bill: this is on our map as well. oregon congressional district five. we'll -- thank you for your appearance. we'll watch it and your opponent >> go to our website. follow this race and help me out. this will be an important race to win and we'll help flip the house. >> bill: we'll watch that. thank you for your time. >> thanks, bill. >> sandra: the push to get rid of los angeles d.a. george gascon nearing a major

>> bill: the l.a. district attorney could face a recall. that is only 67,000 signatures shy from being added to the ballot. people say they have had enough of the soft on crime policy. one tweeted out it is not a recall but a public safety movement. spokesperson for george gascon has declined to comment thus far on that. >> sandra: the u.s. customs and border patrol seizing a shipment of illegal fentanyl at a border crossing in california. valued at more than a million dollars. it comes as fentanyl overdoses are now the leading cause of death in the u.s. among adults

age 18 to 45. our next guest barely survived a near fatal overdose on his 36th birthday in 2016. it took three shots of narcan to revive him. doctors say he is lucky to be alive. matt dillon, welcome. >> good morning, sandra. how are you today? >> sandra: we're very glad to have you here today. things could have turned out much differently. you call october 22, 2016 d-day. what happened? >> so i was -- i started practicing using drugs when i was very young. i was about 12 years old when i start -- started with marijuana and alcohol. i became a party guy. i fit in with a group and it just -- i was a big party guy and i dropped out of high school because it got in the way of my partying. over the course of about 6 or 7 years i lost three people in my

family. i lost my older brother to an overdose and a few years later i lost my mom to cancer and then two years after that i lost an aunt to cancer as well. and all of that grief was just being pushed down by the substances i was putting in my body. that unprocessed grieve led me to dark places and i was a heroin addict for a decade. living on the streets, homeless. engaged in all of the activities that are side effects of heroin use. >> sandra: matt, you woke up in that hospital bed, you said. you remember waking up grateful to be awake. not many of us can imagine what that felt like and now i know that you are on a mission. you want to stop this from happening to others. certainly in fatal cases as well. >> absolutely. the thing was for like the last 10 years of my youth i would wake up every day upset that i

woke up. i just wanted to die. and it was when i opened my eyes in that hospital room and that doctor said to me welcome back, mr. dillon, at first i felt like a great amount of shame and then that was followed by gratitude that i hadn't had in waking up for as long as i remember. from that point on i realized something had to change. what i did is got involved in a community-based support program and really focused on myself and my healing from all the past trauma that i was walking away with the drugs. and in that first year i was just -- i just did everything i had to do. when it comes to helping other people and getting out of it, i decided two years into my recovery i was going to go to school to be a drug and alcohol counselor. i graduated from that program recently and about to walk with an associate degree in a couple of weeks and it will be my first time wearing a cap and gown and walking because like i

said i dropped out of high school. what's important here is i know for prevention programs are extremely important. for every dollar we spend as a country on prevention programs, we're saving almost $10 in the future when it comes to court costs and losses due to theft and as a society in general. so that investment in our future is critically important. i am also a big proponent of harm reduction. while my path to recovery worked great for me, all paths are not the same. harm reduction is part of that as well. >> sandra: i want to ask you about the drugs certainly that will flowing over our southern border. the drug enforcement agency says mexican drug cartels are making it more potent. fentanyl sold on the street has doubled in strength since 2017. what can we do about this, matt? >> well, when it comes to the

southern border and whatever is coming in, that's way above my pay grade. that's not what i am focused on right now. what i'm focused on right now is letting people know who are in the same position i was in, you can go from the lowest point to where you think you have done irreparable acknowledge dand you can have a life. for family members, as long as they are alive there is a chance that they could come back to you. i just want to spread hope with my message and i just want to show people that you can be at the lowest of the low point you can come back from it. what needs to be done is we must be comfortable asking for help. our society asking for help is something that brings a bit of shame because we live in this i got this society. but asking for help is the bravest thing that anybody can do. if i didn't have a support

system and wonderful family members that were waiting for me to make the decision to get clean and sober, i would have had a hard time. so i had a wonderful support system when i finally made the decision that i had to change my life. it's very important that we love our people. >> sandra: many people are hearing your message right nou. it is a powerful one and we're happy you are here and glad you are alive and now you are trying to help others and that is remarkable. thank you very much for telling your story here today, matt. >> thank you, sandra. have a great day. >> bill: well done, matt, well done. major newspaper that dismissed the hunter biden story during the election of 2020 now relying on the hard drive in that computer for in-depth reporting. we'll ask miranda devine that in a moment coming up. rugged 33-inch tires, and front and rear electronic locking differentials.

>> bill: the "washington post" pulling information from hunter biden's laptop for a story on his business dealings with his

uncle james biden. the paper dismissed the story in 2020. miranda devine you've reported on this from the beginning. good morning to you. one clip -- james biden did an interview with the "washington post" this past week. i don't know why he did that but he did and he denied that he was considered a fixer. here is one email october of 2017. joe biden is out of the white house after being there for eight years as v.p. you need to call me now writes james biden to hunter. just got off the phone with your father. we have the two biggest days of our business life in front of us. we must be smart or everything goes up in smoke. please call me. you must remain calm. timing could not be worse. calm and measured paybacks can come later. what was that all about? >> that's just one example of the sort of rift that the bidens were into.

this was using joe biden's name. he was involved in this influence peddling scheme. they were trying to i think in this case get a lot of democrat politicians involved in helping their business dealings with various entities. that was just their m.o. jim biden saying that he wasn't a fixer and bringing in that he wasn't some underworld figure or a cleaner, no one suggested that. the person who called him a fixer was his own brother. >> bill: huh. there is also evidence in here that they were working democratic connections in different states who could bring them infrastructure contracts to make more money. governor brown in california at the time. the democratic delegation in minnesotaened governor cuomo in new york as well. why do you think the "washington post" is now choosing to report on this as opposed to running from it a few years ago?

>> well, i think all the democrats are trying to get ahead of the story because, of course, the long-running investigation into hunter biden's tax and overseas business dealings is coming to an end. there will be an outcome fairly soon and so they don't want to be caught flat footed. they don't want their raiders to say why didn't you inform us about this story 18 months ago? now they are pretending that it is business as usual. of course, they are always very keen to absolve joe biden of any involvement, even though the involvement of joe biden is written all over the laptop and also in tony bobulinski's retelling of the tale. >> bill: when do we hear from the court in delaware, do we know? >> my sources are telling me the grand jury has wrapped up and that now the question of what to do is in the hands of

the d.o.j. >> bill: we shall await then. miranda devine, thank you. others are picking up your reporting. what a turn. thank you so much for coming back on the program today. >> sandra: great to be here with you today. that was two hours that went fast. >> bill: flying by. you are back in two hours. >> sandra: i'll see you back at 1:00. >> bill: i'll be watching. harris is out today. here is gillian turner. >> thank you. the biden white house now has a major baby formula mess on its hands. the president admitting he didn't know until april about the crisis that a plant shutdown in february was causing. the white house communications team says they had by that time already been working on it for months. i'm gillian turner in for harris today. the president's admission came moments after formula manufacturerers told him during a white house round table they realized pretty much immediately how bad the shortage was
