start their life together. we are so proud of the two of them. it's a great day. >> did you cry, dad? >> i saw it. i was so embarrassed. >> speaking of big day -- >> yep, officially opens into ours. we will bring you all the highlights. thanks for watching him everybody. >> dana: fox news alert on the border of the white house launching a controversial plant to house unaccompanied children. as texas reels from one of the deadliest incidence of human smuggling. i'm dana perino. bill has that week off. >> trace: this is "america's newsroom." this is a tragic story out of texas. at least 46 migrants were found dead inside a tractor-trailer. 16 more including 4 children who were rushed to the hospital. on the outskirts of san antonio. police have detained three people in connection with this

incident. >> dana: governor greg abbott putting the blame squarely on president biden's border policy. echoing that very sentiment. >> i want to see that secretary of homeland security come out to press today and come out and do a statement and continue to lie to the american people that this 40 is secure enclosed. that your policies are safe and humane. because the fact is, your policies has caused record illegal imminent, immigration. the record is all bad. i'm sick and tired of this administration telling me how their policies are and how secure the border it. i've been there. it changed me forever. this is horrific. these people died horrific tragic deaths. >> dana: temperatures on the border are soaring into the triple digits. the migrants found alive in a trailer are being treated for heat stroke and exhaustion. officials say the truck had no working air conditioning. >> trace: that's just awful

per the situation at the border getting worse every day. over 7,000 migrants every single day. many of them unaccompanied children appear that biden administration is moving forward with a plan to house thousands of those kids in north carolina. something that is drawing major pushback from republicans. >> dana: the housing of my grandchildren. let's begin with griff jenkins. he's in eagle pass with that news from overnight. >> good morning, dana and a trace. we are seeing the true toll of smuggling. we may never know how high that tapscott before 46 were dead. here is what we do know. that tractor-trailer was left abandoned on a back road. for how long? we don't actually know that. we know a city worker apparently alerted to the cries for help. three people have been arrested allegedly in connection to this smuggling operation. san antonio's mayor had this to say at the presser. listen. >> pray for the deceased.

the ailing, the families, and we hope that those responsible for putting these people in such humane conditions are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. >> and you're right. texas governor greg abbott is directly blaming the president tweeting this saying "these deaths are on biden. they are a result of his deadly open border policies where they show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law." all this comes as no situation on the border continues to be under anything but control is the administration like to suggest. you mention 7,000 crossing a day all along the southern border. right here in the del rio sector alone, they have never seen these numbers. we've had more than 5,000 migrants cross illegally in the last 4 days right here and on a daily basis. these migrants are facing the heat exhaustion. it's been in the hundreds every

single day since i've been here. this video that showed on my phone to show some migrants struggling even after he was already in border patrol custody. then there is a river here where they had to cross. we witnessed migrants. you see in this video nearly drowning here behind me border patrol fortunately able to get the air to rescue those nine venezuelan migrants and bring them here. officials here all along the border obviously are watching this supreme court case to see what is decided on the remain in mexico policy. but i will tell you, dana and trace, when i talk to them privately, they have confidence that it will really impact what is happening down here. it is unprecedented in ways they have never seen it. dana, trace. >> dana: thank you. >> trace: more on that in my grandchildren. bill. >> trace, good morning to you. the biden administration is quietly signed a 5-year contract to start losing abandoned school in greensboro, north carolina,

for the purpose of housing unaccompanied minor children away from the southern border. to take a look at potentially thousands of those migrant children will be detained at the american hebrew academy campus in greensboro. that is where they are going to be held until they can be released to family members or sponsors who are already living here in the united states. hiring up to 800 workers to staff that facility and children are set to begin arriving as soon as july. some local officials support the move. >> it's about the people. it's about the children. it's about jobs. it's about doing the right thing for these children. these are innocent children. we should not put politics in the midst of this. >> you are taking a live look at that campus right now which is near a residential neighborhood. there are now some north carolina republican lawmakers who are crying foul. that testimony last year when there were rumors floating

around that migrant children would be sent to north carolina. >> this report is true. have you sent her a plan to do's and miners to north carolina? >> there is no planet we have to show up at north carolina. >> now those republican lawmakers have been a letter writing apart, "the decision to now resettle unaccompanied on my coming unaccompanied children in greensboro directly contradicts what you said previously and comes as a complete surprise to us and our constituencies." due to the failures of the biden administration to secure our southern border, every state including north carolina is now suffering from the impacts of the biden border crisis. there were more than 14,000 unaccompanied minors encountered in our southern border alone. i reached out to hhs yesterday to ask how many migrant children are they going to house at this campus? how much of the government going to be paying for it? what change from the previous testimony?

i never got a response from hhs. >> our southern california newsroom. >> authorities suspected drug traffickers who were arrested last week with enough fentanyl to kill millions of people. they too are from washington. officers pulled them over in california. that is when they discovered 150,000 fentanyl pills. nearly a million dollars worth. he says he strongly disagrees with a court order that forces officer to release the two men pretty will join us on the top of the next hour. >> dana: giving our first interview since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade saying as a woman, she was outraged by the decision. democrats now looking to the vp to rally the base on abortion in the head midterm spirit alexandria hoff alive for us with more on this. alexandria, good morning. >> good morning, trace. if rallying the base was the goal during this interview, she took a rather reserved approach. this opinion piece by "the new york post" is headlined

"cnn gives kamala harris the easiest lay up and she still misses." referring to how the interview kicked off when harris is provided with a moment to really moisten some frustration about the supreme court's undoing of roe v. wade. instead, she talks about where she was when she found out and eventually after being prompted gets around to her feelings. >> i was on air force 2 heading to aurora, illinois, to talk about maternal health. we were with lauren underwood. with the chair of judiciary -- senate judiciary. you know, we thought that the decision would come down sometime soon. but not that moment. and i was shocked. >> vice president harris at the administration is looking at possible vouchers for those who can't afford to travel to terminate a pregnancy. on that, "washington post" reporter shared an idea that came from senator elizabeth warren that abortion outposts should be established complete with tents within national parks which of course are federally controlled.

louisiana and utah state courts have ruled against the trigger laws that went into effect following roe v. wade being overturned putting a temporary block on their abortion ban. additional lawsuits have been filed in mississippi, idaho, texas, and kentucky put house democrats prepare a legislative approach to bypass the supreme court's ruling in a letter sent to democratic colleagues yesterday, house speaker nancy pelosi said that legislation is being introduced to further codify what she calls freedoms. she keys "more information of a la." >> trace: alexandria, thank you. >> dana: just watching the coverage of all of this as it unfolds and it's going to continue. these attacks against the pro-life groups. they have been happening for a while ever since this draft leaked. believe it or not, abc news my nbc news, msnbc, they never mentioned this group. it's called jane's revenge.

they have promised a summary of rage. this will continue until there is some sort of deterrent and the attorney general so far has not provided that. >> trace: they have been attacking the pregnancy centers before they came down for attacking churches and pregnancy centers. they were proud of it. you have some analysts saying, on the right, if you have this kind of behavior, it's an assault on democracy. on the left, it's called a passion for justice. >> dana: those are well covered. we cover those as well. jane's revenge. keep that phrase in mind, everybody. this week, people are dead in introductory chicago bound train collided with a truck. had at that train veer off the track? live on the scene with answers. >> trace: brandon harris bound to run for reelection. members of their own party not really so confident. our democrats quietly speculating a new 20/20 for ticket? >> dana: plus a link to voice mail may be the smoking gun proving joe biden was more

involved in his son hunters overseas business dealings and he has admitted so far. what did joe really know? >> how many times have you spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> president biden: i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.wi those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks!

>> dana: tracking down a new york city law that was never allowed noncitizens to vote in local election. the city council passed a law last december. current mayor eric adams both outlined to sign or veto it. the court says the state's constitution grants citizens the right to vote. there you have that. >> sending a team of investigators to missouri after an amtrak train derailed in an uncontrolled railroad crossing yesterday.

it left at least three people dead. dozens more hard. live for us with more on this. good morning. >> good morning to you. investigators expected to arrive here sometime this hour to begin their work looking into this crash. one other thing they are going to be looking at is that uncontrolled crossing that you mention. it's fairly common in rural areas like these to have these kinds of crossings where there is no flashing lights or barriers to let drivers know that a train is coming through. i want to show our viewers the cell phone video that captures the chaotic moment after this amtrak train plowed into a dump truck forcing the train cars off the rails and then throwing passengers out of their seats as the train tipped over. >> it is hard to comprehend that i made it out okay with no injuries when the lady across the aisle from me actually had to get care of lighted out.

>> we heard a loud noise. i thought, no, we had hit something. >> i heard to my friend and said we just hit a truck. that is when we felt the old train start to tell. i grabbed the bottom of my seat. this is going to evolve. we had the point. >> the train was carrying 243 passengers and 12 crew members. three people were killed including the driver of the dump truck and more than 50 people were injured. the passengers included family is going on trips, teachers and students heading the conferences and 2 trips of boy scouts on home. this because they weren't injured health into action and helping other passengers get out of the training using their first aid training to help stabilize other passengers until first responders arrived. one of the scouts rushed over to what was left of the dump truck and found the driver laying in a ditch nearby. at 15-year-old scout dried

comforting and stabilizing the driver until they ultimately passed away. we will be speaking with that scout in the next hour and we are expecting to get an update on officials from the investigation and on the injuries hopefully sometime in the next couple of hours both from the local officials. >> trace: back to you as the news breaks. thanks. >> we talked to president biden about reelection. >> joe biden is running for reelection and i will be his ticket mate. both. >> both. >> that was the vice president committing to that taken in 2024 per the president reportedly is upset as -- that's bring in our opana advisor and chairman and ceo. at so many roles that you have. mark, question for you here. this is "the new york times" headline.

on 2024, the white house is trying to tamped down speculation about plans to seek reelection. persistent questions for this all started about two weeks ago when you had the whisper campaign that was anonymous by the end of the week had turned on the record of democrats saying, i don't think biden should run again. it is the president hearing that i'm taking any of it seriously? >> well, look, i think others going all of this is that if you ask democratic voters who would they vote for in a democratic primary for president, only about 30% would pick president biden which is unprecedented in nature. i think there are some real facts underscoring what you see developing here. i think any president before midterm has got to maintain steadfastly that he is running and then really take a look at it after the midterm. i personally don't think he will wind up running. maybe i am one of those people that won't take yes for an answer.

>> dana: will kamala harris tried to win that nomination or will she have a really tough primary? >> i think both of those. i think she will definitely try to get that nomination. i think there is a history of vice president including joe biden and good candidates are not, you know, getting the nomination. of course, you know, history doesn't necessarily have to repeat itself. but i do think she would be hard to knock off and would most likely wind up with the nomination. >> dana: interesting. brenda, last year millions of voters switched to the republican party. the democratic voters to republicans. switch to 630,000. i think that these numbers are a little bit eye-popping because a million going to the g.o.p. is good produce exhibitor 30,000. how do you see these parties which is? when you have a lot more of this

before 2022? >> overall, it is a good story. you do have two-thirds of people switching to the republican party. we will take it. it is not as favorable as we would like it is not a new dynamic grid but we are seeing is a correction. these democratic voters switching their party affiliation to republican. if you look at the counties where they are, they were suburban counties and urban counties. they are conservative leaning voters to begin with. in 2018, we saw them move away due to donald trump's rhetoric and especially after seeing what happens when democrats control washington after see donald trump not be the face of the republican party anymore, they are starting to switch back. they're running back to the republican party. the big story, you know that democrats are posing as these people are switching to play in the republican primary. we don't see a lot of evidence of that. it really isn't hard for democrats waiting to monkey in the republican primaries. it is sort of soft republicans coming home. >> dana: if you dig into some of those polls, mark, and read

what the respondent said, a lot of it still has to do with covid. and that there is enthusiasm in terms of the parties which years. covid came up again and again. enthusiasm for primary voters, republicans, 57% compared to democrats and 44%. i'm assuming that you all had tracks with what you've seen in the past with the first midterm for president. >> it does seem like until now, there's been a tremendous amount of enthusiasm among republican voters. the big question is, are democratic voters going to get energized anyway obviously, they were not energized. you see particularly the road decision can have impact with suburban with precisely those places where the republican party has been picking up votes here in these trends in florida and ohio and other places where suburban women were trending back to republicans.

we don't know yet. >> we will keep an eye on it. thank you for your time this morning. everyone is super interested in the mid terms as are. thank you. >> thanks, dana. >> trace: we have some breaking news coming out of europe. the president has arrived in madrid moments ago. he's there for that 2-day nato summit. the big push is for the nato alliance to get together and embrace or posture or beef up the defense forces in ukraine. this all comes as the war is entering its fifth month and it comes one day after russia attacked a mall in ukraine and kills dozens of people. updates out of the nato summit as they commence. in the meantime, the white house was quick to take credit. july 4th cookouts last year. now inflation expected to take a big bite out of your barbecue. will they own up to the prices this time around?

>> trace: no doubt bidding wars are live for potential home buyers. now some democratic friends that he is saying the same process play out for renters. if that wasn't enough, or inspecting housing index shows rising more than 21% in april. you thought they were going down. that's a record high putting the american dream further and further out of reach. fox business national correspondent is with us now. you talk these rentals. they really are going sky high. i found this interesting piece in "the wall street journal." they are talking about the lengths people go to to get to these rentals. many renters don't stop and offering a higher rental price. some are following other parts of the home buyer playbook such as drafting pick me love letters

that introduce themselves to the landlord to make an emotional appeal. others are asking previous landlords to write their recommendations as if applying for the job. it's auditioning to get a place to rent. >> it's crazy what's happening right now because what you said about home prices is all that's related to the rental market as well. you would think that prices at some point we go down. but what real estate phones will tell you when you are hearing this more and more anecdotally put a lot of people who have own homes for a long time and have decided to sell them are now entering the rental market. they know interest rates have gone up. they know prices have not yet really started to come down. so they say to themselves, let me rent for a little while and see what happens. now you have no more demand for grants. those pokes sell folks are driving up the red were a lot of other people. i guess the question is how temporary is that? others people going to rent for a year and get back in? a lot of it is going to depend on what happens in the market and what happens on the price

side. >> you had perhaps a lot of people that moved home and lived at home for a while. maybe they are getting married. they want to spread their wings. they want to be able to fly. they can actually get there because there's not enough supply. >> there isn't. that has been a long time. builders looking at a situation where interest rates are only going up. and they are wondering whether it's a good time to keep building. one thing kind of leads to another. you are still kind of stuck in this cycle. at some point, most real estate experts tell you something will have to give. at least maybe the rate of increase on the price side on me as much. as one of the things that you mention that we did see. the year-over-year number was huge. 21%. the month-to-month wasn't as large of a rate of increase. maybe if things study a little bit you will see that for into the rental market. >> mom's and dad hoping. >> we want to be empty now type

ins at this point. >> if you rent or buy, you can have a barbecue on the fourth of july because you can afford it. prices are up 17%. we can put some of these up on the screen. 2 pounds of ground beef plus 36%. 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast. 32 ounces of pork and beans, 33%. 3 pounds of center cut pork chops. he goes on and on and on. there you have it. >> there was a graphic last year that the white house itself went out for president biden's first fourth of july, you are saving $0.11. on your fourth of july thing. now a year later even though it's transitory. no problem. everything's going to get better. this is not better. >> what strikes me a little bit about it. it's a double whammy and some extent. it's bad for consumers. i was just in north carolina talking to farmers were another story we were doing. they are getting by this as

well. a lot of people think they are able to charge more because prices are up. as often not how it works in the farming business as you guys know. all of their costs are out. one of the things from the farm bureau that stood out is because one of the farmers we happen to speak to was growing strawberries among other things. that's one of the only items on that list that is down. the weather is better. if you are in that business and trying to sell everything else that you need where your business is not up in price. not just -- >> dana: that's so interesting. >> the prices. >> insight. >> honestly, don't be following my advice on any kind of investments. maybe the best we can hope for is at some point it studies a little bit. >> thank you for being here. speak to american airlines

regional carrier is offering triple play to pick up ships and july. flight delays and cancellations. you've heard all about those. much of it as stemming from a shortage of pilots. ongoing air because the month of july "supercritical coverage." that's good. i would take it. >> that's the whole thing. they are down pilots and air traffic controllers. they couldn't train more during the pandemic. you got nobody to guide the planes when they are going. that is the bottom line. you've got nobody to fly the planes. they don't have enough planes. >> there's not enough enough of anything. >> they keep scheduling to cut back their schedules. you have the big airlines. >> it's a bummer if you have a big trip coming up. >> trace: at january 6th 70 abruptly scheduling the meeting for this afternoon recently obtained evidence for last-minute announcement coming up for the panel previously said it would not hold any more hearings until next month. i have on capitol hill with more

on that. >> good morning to you. you're right. this hearing was really cloaked in mystery all day yesterday, including who was going to be testifying. now fox can confirm that star witness is kassidy hutchinson. if the names familiar to you, she is the former aide to mark meadows when he was chief of staff to former president trump. she was told he would have known his schedules. his movements have been privy to certain conversations and she was already made news for the information she has provided to the committee during her depositions. if you have been watching these earrings, you see clips of our tape testimony play in the hearing room. she later testified that mark meadows was won by a secret service a visual about possibility of violence on january 6. she is also the aide who told the committee which republican lawmakers were asking the former president for pardons.

each hearing has had seen as the committee builds in narrative about the events that led to january 6. may be the next best thing for this committee since he hasn't agreed to come in for any interviews or testify in person. he has previously provided a number of documents. now, this hearing was thrown together at the last minute. congress is technically out which begs the question why they wanted to do this. there are reports circulating out there that kassidy hutchinson just dropped the previous attorney and hired a new one. it's quite possible that she has a lot more to say outside of what is already told her committee. it makes some big bombshells coming out today. >> live for us on the hill. >> another rushing attack that ukraine says targeted innocent civilians. we are live on the ground with the latest on the war. plus more revelations from

least 18 civilians. president zelenskyy says up to 1,000 where inside the building during the attack. live for us. nate. >> trace, the video is difficult to watch. firefighters and soldiers are still sifting through the rubble looking for anyone who may still be there. they are finding more bodies. you mentioned 18 people have been killed in this attack for the newest members from ukraine officials, 59 people are hurt. 30 people are missing. this happened 200 miles south of kyiv. it showed the destroyed sopping well. as you mentioned, a thousand people were here just before the strike. matt manning ran to a shelter across the street when they heard air raid sirens. the death both could have been higher according to ukrainian authorities. g7 leaders call in a war crime. russia claims it didn't have the shopping mall and all.

as defense ministry said it had a weapons depot nearby which caused an ammunition explosion and fire at the shopping mall next door. here is president zelenskyy explaining what he think happens. >> who should not have -- and strike missiles at such an object. this is not an off target missile strike. this is a calculated russian strike exactly at this shopping mall. >> take a look here. easy victims of the strike and its intensive care ward in central ukraine viewed one of them describe the attack as. another one says this is what happened to her when the missiles it. listen. >> that feeling i had was as if i was flying somewhere. i flew headfirst and splinters, shrapnel or something was hitting my body. the whole place was collapsing, exploding. then i landed on the floor. i don't know if i was conscious or unconscious.

i didn't understand anything. >> tough to imagine what these people are going through. after yesterday's attack you know weekend with over 60 missile strikes in ukraine, we now know that the united states is planning to send ukraine an advanced missile system, missile defense system, the same one that is used to protect washington, d.c., to hopefully prevent something like this from happening again. >> trace: thank you. >> voice mail from hunter biden's infamous laptop shows joe biden called his son back in 2018 to discuss hunter's business interest in china. it suggests president biden did in fact speak with hunter about his foreign dailies despite his denial. here's the headline from "the new york post" columnist miranda devine. why hunter's dealings with china aren't a big fat nothing for his president father. joining us now, she's a fox news contributor. it's good to have you. family business of courses we just said. i just want to play for you this

voice mail. i know you heard about for audience, listen here. >> hey, pal, it's dad. it's 8:15. give me a call. i just want to talk to you. online, he's good. i think you are clear. >> the article is about miranda? >> hi, dana. the article is really the closest call that the bidens have had from the media sniffing around their business in china. and what it happened was that one of hunter's chinese business partners, a man named patrick had been arrested at jfk airport on bribery charges. and now, "the new york times" was looking into the story. hunter was panicking about accusing his friends of having leaked through the times. in this story was a big deal for them.

and so they are you in joe biden's own voice is assuring his son hunter that he was all clear. he said i think you are clear that the story was good. that at the very least but then lied to joe biden throughout the campaign that he knew nothing about his son's business dealings. >> just for everyone to be reminded of that. let's play neighbor 2 here. a flash back to 2019. >> have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> president biden: i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. >> dana: he might've been the first father in the history of the world to never show an interest in his son's work. and i think that what is interesting as i know "the new york post" covers this. i know that fox news does.

it is getting any other wider coverage for people to at least make a decision and discern a judgment? what we have here. >> not really. we still saw a couple of months ago "the new york times" acknowledge that the laptop was real and that they had authenticated some of those emails. that was a paragraph buried 24 paragraphs down. inside the paper. it was really just sort of a backside covering operation. because we know that hunter biden has been under investigation with his delaware u.s. attorney, this grand jury has been subpoenaing his corner business partners and former lovers. they wanted to be ahead of the story when they broke so that their readers didn't suddenly catch on to the fact that they've been kept in the dark on one of the most consequential areas in america today.

>> dana: we will stay in touch with you know doubt will continue to develop. >> a court order forcing sheriff arrested with enough fentanyl to kill millions. we will talk to the sheriff on the frightening situation, plus a filmmaker presents stunning new evidence on ufos including eyewitness testimony that raises some very interesting questions. next.

my little family is me, aria, and jade. just the three of us girls. i never thought twice about feeding her kibble. but about two years ago, i realized she was overweight. she was always out of breath. that's when i decided to introduce the farmer's dog to her diet. it's just so fresh that she literally gets bubbles in her mouth. now she's a lot more active she's able to join us on our adventures. and we're all able to do things as a family. ♪♪ get started at longlivedogs.com >> congressional hearing last month the debate over ufos. my next test is an investigative filmmaker 2019 incident where their fleet was apparently swarmed by at least 100 unidentified flying objects. a talk about it is jeremy.

thank you for coming on. we very much appreciate. the department of defense tells congress these ufos are probably drones. but navy crews are telling you that these objects are doing unexplainable things. so what do they mean by that? speak out ride, the american public as well as congress was not shown the truth. they were shown one piece out of six pieces of corroborative evidence that i have provided to the public. it was alive through mission. what really happened on that day goes far beyond. go far beyond one ship. this involved numerous shifts fell like ships. ten of them experiencing the unidentified that flew with impunity and where in a sense just warming these navy warships. the series is massive on scale and scope. the controllers of these units

have not been identified by her department of defense where this is a national security issue. we saw that congressional hearing. it is very unfortunate. i do have hope. i believe there is new legislation that is going to bring to life that you will follow transparency. >> dana: asked >> trace: i'm wondering what you think it is. are we talking about alien spaceships? are we talking about potentially black projects from this country or other countries? is this just simply list out that it is out of our technological range? >> that is kind of a key point is that i don't know. we don't know. our department of defense doesn't know. they have ruled out that it is our black technology. they ruled that out definitively. who's is it? could it be russia? could it be china? essentially being ruled out at this point. where is the landing site? where is the take off? we are talking about a massive scope and scale of these units

flying around. they also showed unique properties. unique ability. it is understood by our navy that their trans medium in nature. they were able to go to the water and out of the water. i provided video evidence that show something like that. the real question is, who is are these? i'm not going to speculate. i don't know. that is our department of defense. >> this is from the hearing. i will get your response on the other side. watch. >> there have been no collisions between any uss that is in one of these uaps. pico we've had at least 11 near misses. >> it amazes me, there have been no collisions. if we don't know where these things are going, jeremy, if we have no idea what their capabilities are, you would think -- and these possibly -- you would think they would be a collision at some point in time. >> here's the deal. what does drone mean? no one's arguing if it is manned or unmanned. the question is, whose are they?

i was a tricky thing. collisions, they are talking about near misses. we don't want those. i will tell you this. as of just a couple of weeks ago, i am directly knowledgeable about the fact that our air force sometimes engages kinetically which means fires upon what we know to be ufos. by the other problem is, sometimes we don't. and how they determined that it is a problem. a lot of the ufo information is not going up the chain of command as it should be. that is why people are providing the videos. >> would you consider this an intelligence value that we don't know more information about what these are? speak of this is intelligence failure beyond what we saw 9/11. we don't know who is operating right up our coast of california and flying in or restricted airspace, we have a real problem. >> trace: one crew member called the energy capacity of these quoting here "world changing." fair assessment? >> yeah, essentially, the

height, the altitude, the number and duration. if you had it all up, we need to know who built this technology. that it be from somewhere else or from here. that is irrelevant. we need to know the operators of these units. >> trace: thanks for coming on. we appreciated. >> thank you. >> dana: president biden arriving in madrid for the nato summit after getting up early from the g7 in berlin for the president's meeting with spain's president before the nato summit. the three day conference will be a very serious test of biden's ability to unite the fractured military alliance as the members of nato began to rethink security in the face of russian aggression against ukraine. >> busted transporting enough fentanyl to kill a million people a court officials as they prepared welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i am dana perino. bill is off. i have traits with me today.

>> trace: another outrageous example of soft on crime policies vetting our safety. the suspects were stopped in central california, booked into the county jail, and now they are back out on the street. >> to have that amount of fentanyl they could kill so many people -- and we know that it is killing so many people. and just shows a lack of seriousness and not only this administration, but certain prosecutors throughout this country are taking towards this deadly drug academic. >> not happy when he was ordered to release the two suspects. senior national correspondent is live on the west coast. hi, william. >> these acute drug runners were released within hours. that sheriff and the d.a. didn't even find out about it until two days later. right now, no one in law enforcement knows where they are or even if they are in the united states legally. this happened into our counting which is halfway between san jose and los angeles. during the traffic stop on

friday night, deputies arrested two men from washington state. age 25 and aged 19. after searching the vehicle with a dog, deputies found 150,000 fentanyl pills, each bill containing enough fentanyl to kill thousands. both men were set free 18 hours later. without even being interviewed according to county sheriff mike boudreaux who calls it negligent and dangerous. the commissioner who signed this order is a former assistant d.a. tried appealing this order to the presiding assistant presiding judge but got no reply. the probation department runs the risk assessment team. that determines they were not a flight risk or a danger to the community. they had no criminal record. these risk assessment teams in california exist to make sure that nonviolent offenders are not held in jail.

they are supposed to identify how likely it is a person would recommit a crime or violate the terms of their release. in this case, based on their probation assessment, released o.r. and the sheriff says he was forced to comply. we have reached out to the probation department at this hour. at dana, response. back to you. >> dana: thank you. more on this, mike boudreau. let's turn it over to you, sir. you got the order. what did you think? >> to be honest with you, i didn't learn of the order until it was far too late. this assessment was done behind-the-scenes basically without ever contacting me as they sheriff or even asking me what i believe the risk to our public safety would be. i made a phone call to our district attorney who also had no information as to this assessment and release of this person. i do round the jails. we run about 2200 inmates here and our jail facility. there's a lot of paperwork and a

lot of corn information that comes through. when there is a release, that doesn't necessarily reach my desk. come monday morning, i learned of this release and i was infuriated. i could not believe that we had 150,000 fentanyl pills, one of the most dangerous epidemics that is facing our nation today with people in custody that we may potentially be able to impact the future of this type of drug trafficking organization and/or cartels in california and by county and we let them go. >> trace: i'm curious. this is an atomic bomb of a drug bust. this could kill millions of people. what is the rationale? what is the reason for letting these guys back on the street? >> california system of justice is failing us all. law enforcement up and down the state of california he is frustrated. we want to hold people to justice and hold them accountable to the crimes that they commit.

proposition 47 and 57 through governor newsom and the legislators in california who are really soft on crime allowing people like this to be released from our facilities, we have no control over that. and for law enforcement leaders in california, it's incredibly frustrating when we are responsible for public safety. we want people to be safe that we have to be able to hold people accountable to our court system in california. we are just not seeing that. it's becoming a dangerous venture. when you have 150,000 fentanyl pills that could be impacting our children and community at large, it makes no sense. >> collapsing just because they came across a car that had fentanyl in it. he got near it. it was used in order to help them. it is dangerous obviously for the people who are taking it. it's ravaging this country. it is causing untold grief for

parents and siblings and grandparents all across the country. it seems like we can get our arms around how to do with it. what would you like to see done immediately either on a federal level or there in your state to give you the tools you need? >> we need to be hard on crime holding people who commit criminal acts accountable for everything that they do. our justice system needs reform. we definitely need our borders secure. people coming in and to and from our border freely bringing their fentanyl into our country is causing dangerous levels to the quality of life. you know, this drug is brought in from china. it is produced in mexico and brought across our border. this has nothing to do with an immigration issue. this as a do with the security protection of our country. and because this fentanyl is clearly coming across our open border, we need to secure those borders now.

>> dana: did these two come from the southern border? >> well, no. the addresses they provide which we can't get a permit from washington state. but we do have information that is leading into mexico. >> okay. >> it's amazing. sheriff, thank you for your time. we very much appreciated, sir. >> thank you. >> trace: the opioid crisis worsening in southern california. they seized more than 6,000 pounds of fentanyl. that by the way is enough to kill 1.4 million people. and our next guest is educating children might help save their lives. san diego county supervisor jim desmond joins us now. in 2018, san diego had 92 fentanyl denson 21, 800. that's not an increase, that's an epidemic. what's happening? >> is the number one killer of people in our country.

but we've put on a webinar trying to get parents to understand how their kids are getting fentanyl and how to prevent it. a lot of kids are getting fentanyl via snapchat, instagram, facebook. they are buying it online. unfortunately to give your 12-year-old a cell phone, they have access to these types of drugs. they don't know where they are coming from. they look like prescription pills. kids are dying from this. to me, it's a poison. it's a weapon that can kill millions of people with 6,000 pounds came across the border in san diego county. it's outrageous that this is coming across our borders and how it's affecting our children. >> i lived in san diego. i believe you're in the north part of the county where you represent -- it was a big problem back then pick one of the things that you're pointing

out, meth's terrible prayer this takes it to a whole new level. >> absolutely. this is one pill can kill. this is not like you are experimenting and trying different drugs. this is one pill can kill you. that is kind of the point that i think parents need to make with their kids. and their children to let them know. don't be experimenting. don't take any prescription pill that didn't come directly from a pharmacy. don't take it from your friends. you never know what could be in it. when you are buying drugs over the internet, it's terrible. this can be delivered to your house. parents being made aware of how to help their kids and tell them, don't take these. this can kill you. it's a poison. >> eradicating fentanyl is going to take a long time. what would you suggest that we need to produce more narcan? what is it that we need to do to

be able to mitigate some of these deaths in san diego and across the country? >> being here today, raising awareness is number one. parents talking to their kids, number two. the narcan, make that available in schools and maybe nightclubs or places where people may be doing recreational type drugs are going to be and have that available. know the warning signs. someone is reacting to fentanyl, they get very sleepy and very drowsy. it's hard to wake them up. you want to try to keep them awake. he went to get that narcan to them as quickly as possible. i think awareness that kids are getting this over the internet. they are ordering it with emojis. you get to be sitting next to you on the couch or the dinner table playing with emojis on their phone. you don't know what they are doing and they could be ordering these drugs.

awareness, parents, having their remedy there and letting people and be aware of how dangerous this drug is and how one pill can kill. >> dana: i like that phrase and i'm going to steal it and use it if you don't mind. thank you so much for joining us. ♪ ♪ stunning details 29-year-old transgender skateboard-a yahoo beat a girl. this biological mail is a navy veteran. and that's just for starters. what does this mean for fairness in women's sports? >> up was prepared using google. other big tech giant is making sure conservative voices are no longer silent. nico a mom wanted to find out of critical race theory was being taught there were daughter in kindergarten through the schools enter this. it's a bill for more than $74,000. she joins us ahead. >> when you charge someone $74,000 just to know what their children are learning in school,

amazing. it will remain in custody of the u.s. government until its barber chair and sale according to the u.s. department of justice. the feature is one of many when russia began attacking ukraine. >> trace: arriving in madrid after wrapping up the g7 meeting of world leaders. russia's invasion of ukraine and how to keep on the western allies on the same page. peter doocy reporting live from austria. peter. >> nato is nice. the g7 and white house officials here in europe are trying really hard to keep all the presidents comments about ukraine on script. >> do you feel like is given ukraine where they need to win back the war, sir? >> this meeting of the alps also revealed a split between priorities of the u.s. and the u.k. the u.k.'s prime minister came as the g7 leader to put world

hunger over climate change. boris johnson was arguing that land set aside for biofuels can and should be used to grow grain where people to eat because so much of it is stuck in ukraine right now and it is set to rot. globally, the use of grain for biofuel is good evening to reduce availability and increased costs for human consumption. the u.s. block boris johnson, though full g7 statement to solve world hunger doesn't have anything like that. we call in all countries to avoid obsessing stockpiles. crude oil supply from francis emmanuel macron was caught on a hot microphone telling the president that the uae is already at maximum refining capacity. that is at a meeting with the uae and others in saudi arabia about refining more. >> you spoke with a couple of other leaders about the trip as well. not focused on are confined to

the energy piece about the broader strategic dynamic in play. >> the president's next trip is supposed to be to the middle east. and an item on the agenda is supposed to be talking to golf partners about providing more. if it's true what he whispered to the president that some of these partners like the uae and it ran fine anymore, they might not have much to talk about. >> trace: peter doocy live verizon austria. >> dana: we are learning more about the 29-year-old transgender skateboarder who beat out 13-year-old girl to take on the top prize in the new york city contest. prize not only served in the u.s. military navy, but he was also rejected and qualified by the olympics. testing for too much testosterone after taking hormones. most of fox across america joins us now. i can't believe this story. i want to show you this video first. they call for number one.

>> really appreciate everyone trying to stand up for me. it means a lot. at all. if anything, i'm really worried about how -- right now. i mean, i absolutely admire her carriage and who she has no matter what. skateboarding is a wonderful sport. we accept and love everyone no matter how that you identified. >> dana: this young girl is 13 years old are trying to make the most of the situation -- this is not right. because she is being gracious because she doesn't want to look transphobic or hateful. someone has forced this take on her. it's not fair to her. a29-year-old man will beat out 13-year-old girl in anything except text messaging. if it comes down to text and emojis, he's a huge underdog in vegas. on the merit, there is no way he should be competing against terror. that is all a scam. the reason the story keeps coming up as it is sold to us as inclusion. it's actually exclusionary when it comes to the truth and the fact that men have a huge

biological advantage over women. a good example i would give you is we have uncovered one story where woman transitioned to a man and one back all the events. the men have that advantage. the winner of the new york city men's marathon meets the women's winner by 13 minutes which is about 3 miles on foot. by car in new york, that's half a block. it's big i'm sure his tiktok account was not nearly as good as hers as well. he says, you can't asking elite athlete to compromise their health. i've explained to transitioning as a sensitive enlightenment has nothing to do with your testosterone level. it's a matter of decision in feelings and you finally decided to be you. he's got more testosterone and more mass and muzzle and experience. come on. >> that's the racket. he's hiding behind not the science about the social pressure of this is hateful if you make me do this to myself. acknowledging the need for home on therapy is also kind of a

cell phone and that he is clearly, you know, pointing out that they are different. there is a difference here. you can't continue to sell it to us as if they are the same. give transgender athletes their own division and everybody keeps saying, there's not enough of them. maybe make it at the catalog. you've got a swimmer and a biker and a weight lifter. i don't think there's any fair way to do it. >> dana: i'm obsessed with one part of the story not for her but for others. why is she doing an instagram video to stand up for herself? where are all the women athletes that have succeeded and achieved success? where are the man who would stand up and say this is not right? these young girls. we've had them on our show pure they are hiring lawyers and trying to be as gracious as they possibly can. they want to be dignified. they have worked so hard for that 13-year-old girl is super talented. no one is standing up for her. >> that is that frustration 1.5 weeks removed from title ix in

all these athletes who were so outspoken that have been socially pressured into compliance. this is an issue where you can feel a little bit of the scene change. as a vast gap between what people believe in what they are willing to say. that is where we are. she's standing up for him. >> ridiculous. >> dana: is adult. i don't care -- if you want to identify as a woman, knock yourself out. are you not embarrassed as an adult to compete against a 13-year-old girl? the one i would be a thousand percent. >> dana: i want to see you on a skateboarder. >> trace: i was a chubby skateboarder in middle school. i thought it was tony hawk. i look like tony soprano. maybe not. maybe this ain't my sport. >> dana: jamie, thank you. thank you for being here. a little moment of levity. also it is a serious issue. we appreciate you coming on. now this. >> we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy.

so i would urge you all to think compassionately and pray for the disease. >> trace: this really is a nightmare unfolding in texas. at least 48 migrants have died after being trapped inside a sweltering tractor-trailer. will this finally forced the biden administration to take human smuggling more seriously? plus, the white house moving forward with a plan to house and thousands of migrant children in north carolina. is this a tenable solution? former dhs secretary to chat about that i had.

people with plaque psoriasis, are rethinking the choices they make. like the shot they take. the memories they create. or the spin they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, you can achieve clearer skin. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla can cause serious allergic reactions. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

and we were talking on the break. i just can't imagine the lethal heat and the lack of air when it is 111 degrees outside. yet, we keep incentivizing these migrants to do exactly this. we know and they know, if they get in the truck and they get into the u.s., off we go. >> you are absolutely right. this is the result of our broken border security immigration policy simply from this administration. while those migrants and i was however they get to the u.s. whether it is in the back of a tractor-trailer or any other way that they cross the border illegally, they know that they have a high, high likelihood of remaining in the u.s., that they will not be removed and will not be deported. under the policy of this administration. you're going to continue to see tragedies like this where migrants are putting their hands -- but in their lives in the hands of smugglers and traffickers and others that don't care about their lives. because they need to get to the u.s. they know that if they get there, they are not going to be removed.

they will likely stay here in the united states again under the policies of this administration. unfortunately, these things do happen but they can be curtailed. if you have strong border security and use in the message that is not okay to cross the border illegally because you will be removed and repatriated back home. >> trace: we are paying to transfer the unaccompanied minors from the border really across the country. i want to play this sound bite, because this is the secretary denying and this is about a year ago that kids were moving to north carolina. watch this. >> have you already sent or do you plan to send minors to north carolina? >> there is no plan that we have to send children to north carolina. we are always looking for sites that we can provide the type of safety and security that children need. we have sites throughout the country. there was no plan that i could tell you right now up to shelter children in north carolina. >> trace: hundreds of thousands of them under the new plan are being taken to north carolina. your thoughts on this.

>> we have a crisis right now when it comes to unaccompanied alien children. these are individuals under the age of 17 years old i come across the border both mainly illegally. we have a crisis here because we have seen numbers of those individuals come across that border and the highest numbers that we have ever seen began because of the policies of this administration. they exempted all minors early on in their administration from title 42. title 42 which remains in effect today does not apply to uac and to minors. the smugglers know this. the traffickers know this. what do we see? we see more more of these individuals, uac. but hhs and the secretary is saying there is we run out of facilities premier ran out of facilities to house these children. we need to bring more and more online to care for these children. we are seeing more and more of them every single day and every single month of that border,

because we have no deterrents and our system. we are not removing these individuals. it stems from my broken border security and immigration policy and strategy from this administration. uacs the highest that we have probably ever seen. family members high is that we have ever seen and the list goes on and on. >> you mention title 42 and remained in mexico policy because of the lower court judge. at the supreme court keeps remained in mexico, is it your sense that biden administration will abide by that? right now, they are not. >> you are exactly right that i would hope that they would abide by a court decision from the supreme court. they are barely abiding by it not at all from the lower court. they don't believe in it. they don't like the program through they don't want to administer it. what we know at the end of the day is that it works. their program can always be improved on but we were improving on it in the trump administration as soon as we were putting in place, we were

making improvements to it along the way. you can always be enhanced. what we know is it works. i don't understand this idea that we are going to abandon everything that works, though border wall, asylum agreements. we are going to abandon all of that. today you have a border that is wide open. you need to go back to what is tested and true, what works. and it's certainly a driver there that can help control that we are seeing today. >> trace: thank you for coming out today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> dana: today is primary day and five states including illinois princess will be the first test on whether the supreme court decisions on -- live in chicago. any signs yet, grady? >> not yet this morning, dana. but governor has called himself the most pro-choice governor in the country on the republican side. all of the leaders are pro-life.

so we will see today how that impacts voter turnout especially in the republican primary that we are following. we are at this specific polling location because richard irvin, a governor candidate is expected to be here any minute to cast his vote. right now, the republican candidate for governor is the mayor of the city, aurora. when he locked his campaign, he was considered the front runner largely because he is more moderate than some of the other candidates and because of his ability to appeal to suburban chicago voters. he started slipping once democrats got involved in this republican primary. democratic governor and the democratic governors association spent tens of millions of dollars on attack ads, seeing him as a bigger threat in november. now, trump endorsed state senator's in the lead. he's a farmer from southern illinois with a strong base in that part of the state. we got up with him this morning on a campaign stop.

>> some would argue that you are too concerted to win the general election. speak out that's my point. i think people are ready for conservative values. family values. i think people are ready for a good. i think people are ready for better schools. i know people are ready for a safer streets and less taxes. that's what i stand for. >> the governor is a billionaire in his own right and so far, he has spent $90 million on this race. he's not the only billionaire involved. and griffin, the sunnyvale founder and ceo has spent $50 million to support richard irvin. richard you line has spent $9 million on state senator baron bailey. we are also following some other races today including a republican senate primary and an interesting incumbent on incumbent congressional race primary on the republican side between rodney davis and tropic back to mary miller. >> dana: keep me posted on all

of those especially that last one but i'm interested to see how that turns out. >> trace: pain at the pump. higher prices or poison gas stations to do something that could hurt weeks later when you find out about a penalty fee. plus vice president harris brushing off report that anxious democrats want somebody to replace president biden on the 24 take it. could be her? congresswoman joins us next. >> if you guys democratic voters who would they vote for in the democratic primary for president, only about 30% with big president biden, which is unprecedented in nature. for every veteran homeowner who needs money for their family, it's a new day in america. air force, pararescue, five years. home values are at record highs. the newday 100 va loan lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's total value. and take an average of $60,000 cash. 25% more cash than they'd get at a bank.

united states marine corps, aviation maintenance, five years. that's why veterans from every branch... united states army, military police, eight years. ...from every specialty... marines, infantry, four years. ...from every length of service... united states army, strategic intelligence officer, twenty-eight years. ...trust newday usa to make the most of their va home loan benefit.

>> gas prices are so high now, some gas stations are put in a bigger old-line credit cards when you pump it up to $175 every time you swipe. that's because they don't know ahead of time how much gas you will actually put in the tank. that eats into your credit limit raising your risk of overdraft penalty. >> congressman jim clyburn said last week that if president biden doesn't seek reelection, you would be first on his list in 2024. have you talked to president biden about reelection?

>> joe biden is running for reelection. i will be his ticket mate. full stop. >> vice president harris attempting a shutdown report that democrats are looking for someone to replace president biden where the next election. joining us now, democrat on the house foreign affairs committee. thanks for being here with us today. let me just skip that question out of the way then. would you support bright and bis to get in 2024? >> i'm looking squarely at the election ahead of me working to make sure that voters know what i've been doing on their behalf and why i'm asking for their boat again. i will be focused on 2024 after we get through the 2022 election. >> dana: i apparently presidents be there to go there's a story that said he is frustrated that democrats will take yes for an answer. he's anticipating that donald trump will run again and he would be best positioned to

be that presidential candidate for the democrats again as an incumbent. do you hear from people in your district or you're nearly drawn to state that you are having to run and that they don't agree with that? >> i think notably -- since i was first elected in 2018 and reelected in 2020, i have been very clear in the fact that i think there are incredible leaders across the democratic party. that it is time to usher in new leadership across the board. that's why i didn't vote for speaker pelosi when i first got the congress. that's why i did not vote for her to be speaker the second time around. i continue to recognize that there are some just extraordinary members of congress of tremendous backgrounds in business and military service in agriculture across the board who have allowed to bring to the conversation. certainly a lot to bring to the representation of their own district on capitol hill. and i look forward to seeing those voices continue to be elevated and increasingly more

engaged. >> dana: there were reports at the beginning of the biden administration. they called in historians and said what do you think? one of the things was told that you could be like fdr in this transformational moment. in november of 2011, you were quoted in "the new york times" saying nobody like it had to be fdr. they like it had be normal. and stop the chaos. one of the chaos moments and also those sources of great frustration and angst for americans is inflation, gas prices. i know that you are probably getting an earful about that. there was an anonymous house democrat about the biden meeting on inflation that give us a plan or give us someone to blame. they meaning the white house has been vacillating somewhere in between. that is not helpful to any of us. do you feel like you are sort of out there on your own to try to explain what is happening to people? >> well, it is my natural inclination anyway. i'm never going to go to somebody else and say give me a plan or give me someone to blame. i'm going to address this

problem head on and i'm gonna take action. which is based on my background and i'm a former federal agent and cia officer. you don't sit around and wait for people to tell you what to do. that's why i introduce the legislation, the lower food and fuel cost act. it's how we work to get it through the agriculture committee of jurisdiction and ultimately to the house floor where it pacified partisan support. as a compilation of multiple pieces of legislation aimed at lowering the cost of fuel at the pump. notably through year-round use of ethanol and biofuels. really important steps they are related to gas prices. i was proud to work with democrats and republicans on those provisions and hats off to cindy and angie greg, two of my colleagues who have been pushing for those proposals. i brought a proposals related to consolidation within the meat-packing industry as a member of the agriculture committee and a representative of many smaller livestock

producers. the pieces of legislation focused on lowering the cost of food and groceries. it began at the point in time where our smaller family farmers are able to get their livestock processors for production and monopolization is not only killing them, but it said downstream impact on the consumer's are real. >> dana: redistricting happened this year. according to the political report, it is a toss-up, democratic toss-up. d+ one district now is what they are calling it. i wonder as you look across the board, do you think they will have president biden, and campaign with you in that district? >> i intend to do that campaigning myself. i am a candidate. it is my name on the ballot. certainly when i first ran, iran and are plus 7 district. i won in that seat by getting out seeking to let voters know who i am and what i intended to do for them in 2020 ran for

reelection and certainly outperformed the president on the ballot by telling people what i had done and what i was going to continue to do. and now in virginia, the congressional races will be at the top of the ticket. and i plan on engaging voters across our 11 localities. some of them new to me. some of them communities i represented already to continue making sure people know about my background and intelligent in my background is a law-enforcement officer and my focus on getting things done. the bills that i worked on, and frustration -- finding the place related. border security related. bills i've gotten passed and signed into law. current president and former president trump. >> dana: independent-minded person. you are having to run in this environment. we would love to have you back if you're willing to come back, we would love to have you. thank you, congresswoman. >> thank you for having me. >> public information is priced outside of affordability. it is not really public information at the government

secret. >> trace: a rhode island mom is fighting back after receiving a $74,000 research bill from her daughter's school district simply for requesting public records regarding school curriculum. thus the fallout from sunday's bench clearing brawl at the angels-mariners game. did you see this? ♪ ♪ first psoriasis, then psoriatic arthritis. even walking was tough. i had to do something. i started cosentyx®. cosentyx can help you move, look, and feel better... by treating the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting...get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections some serious... and the lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms... or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms... develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur.

>> a rhode island mother wanted to know when his mother was being taught in school. instead, she received a healthy bill. she was charged $74,000 for a public records request after school officials reported he refused to answer questions on critical race theory. apparently, she isn't the only parent with this story.

joining us now along with the director of national litigation at the goldwater institute. you want to find out what your kid is learning. that's a fair assessment. you have that right. they hit you with a bill for $74,000. in essence, they are trying to shut you down for intimidation. >> exactly but what's going on here if schools are stonewalling parents with exorbitant prices for public information that taxpayers already paid for just by funding public school. but they are doing is totally subjective process. there is no objective metric for calculating public records request. they will change the price of information willy-nilly. i received an estimate for $80 for information that i requested. when i requested similar information months later, the price skyrocketed to $2,600. schools will charge you whatever price they want the charges so that way you are not going to know what your kids are learning in school. public information is not public if it cost this much money and

no one can access it. >> trace: that's the whole thing. i'm wondering how in the world do schools get away with this? >> they play a lot of gamesmanship. these were never ever supposed to be barriers to the public's right to know what their government is up to, for parents right to know what their kids are learning. schools are trying to use law that are supposed to give all of us access to public information as barriers to that information. that shouldn't happen. >> trace: by the way, we reach out to the national education association and got crickets. it's not happening just where you are. i want to put this up on the screen. this is a foxnews.com article. the oregon department of education's laptop $10 per email reviewing various requests. 963 emails. $9,630 and goes on and on. the total fees they say subject to the complaint were ultimately reduced from nearly 15,000 to a few hundred dollars.

there is a way that you can fight this. >> yes, you need to negotiate with your school district. you need to make sure you are requesting an electronic copy and let them know if you think the price is unreasonable. thousands and thousands of dollars is unreasonable. you also need to promote academic transparency legislation. this whole public request process rigmarole is not working for either side. the schools are spending money to have their lawyers respond to these requests and the parents are priced out of getting them. this is really just fake work being done by the attorney to produce fake estimates for fake transparency. if you want real transparency, we need legislation requiring schools to post everything online. >> did you get the answers you are seeking? 's geico i still don't have it. my school gave me old curriculum documents that were not being taught anymore. i'm stuck in a complaint process with the attorney general. >> are you going to help her get

it, john? >> absolutely. this information is public. the district cannot hide behind these fees to try and prevent it. nicole raises a really important point. this stuff shouldn't require lawyers or shouldn't require a court process at all. school district should be telling parents what they are going to teach our kids plain and simple. we are going to continue to fight for this information and we will get it. >> thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> major league baseball handing out 12 suspensions following texas sunday's huge brawl between los angeles angels. badges cleared after a pitch while he was often a bat, he was suspended seven games for its actions that caused the fighting. he hit him and was suspended for three games.

[laughs] >> thank you for that health, trace. i appreciate it. sandra smith is in for harris faulkner. if she is. >> sandra: you learn something new every day. set to unveil the so-called action plans after the supreme court decision to overturn roe v wade. the left demanding i made a response floating ideas now like travel vouchers, federal abortion clinics, and the public health emergency declaration. this is "the faulkner focus." i am sandra smith in for harris. that to speak any moment now, potential next steps, including boundaries. >> this is something that we are looking at
