important zelenskyy could hear this today for the first time. >> i just got off of whatsapp with ukrainian ministry and they will send it to elena zelenskyy and if she's anything like my wife, she will play up for him today. >> brian: i know he will love it and certainly appreciate the tribute, awesome, john, beautiful. >> ainsley: we are hit with superman and how the other man saving the world, god bless >> bill: we reveal the fox news power rankings in congress that shows republicans poised to retake the house in november. the margin of victory as we'll show you momentarily could be massive. hope you had a great weekend. it's july. good morning at home and good morning to you. >> dana: this is dana perino. this is your favorite day when you have new info and you can go to the board and tell everybody what's happening. >> bill: i have to explain it a little bit and take people

along. >> dana: it's the brand-new fox news power rankings predicting republicans will win 225 house seats. it would give the gop a seven seat majority. >> bill: factor in the toss-up seats. many by the way. that margin could grow to as high as 37 as of today. >> dana: feeling that potential red wave is a lack of enthusiasm for the president and his policies. that is me having the gift of understatement. a new poll shows a mere 13% of americans say the country is on the right track. >> bill: more than 60% of democrats do not want joe biden as the party's nominee come 2024. >> dana: we're covering this from washington and we kick it off today. >> when we talk about the nomination, we have to talk about age. right now president biden is preparing for his trip to the middle east which is controversial in its own right but this trip was originally supposed to be combined with

his visit the europe next month. 10 days was considered too taxing for the 79 yeerd. peter baker wrote mr. biden, his age has increasingly become an uncomfortable issue for him, his team and party. concerns from aides regarding the president's shuffle and fall potential like off his bike in delaware. when it comes to a bid for the second term words like expect and intends pop up often. >> yes, i expect him to run. i'll support him and tell you why he has a lot to be proud of. >> listen to president biden. he intends to run. and if he does, i intend to run with him. there you go. >> dana: according to "the new york times" poll age is the top reason that democratic primary voters would support some wn else. 10% reported he wasn't progressive enough. the executive director of the

women's march told the "washington post" biden has an opportunity to step forward in way he has not in a leadership role. she wrote joe biden's goal in responding to do*shs is not to satisfy some activist t who have been consistently out of step with the mainstream of the democratic party. progressives not happy with that statement there. politics aside if we're talking age alone former president trump, 76 posted on truth social this weekend that life begins at 80. bill and dana. >> dana: thank you so much. bill, show us what you have. >> bill: this is our forecast four months out. we believe republicans will take control of the house. how big that margin is still to be determined. we think with your majority at 218 republicans have a solid 225 which would give them majority by seven seats over 218. this is the thing to watch and

you'll hear a lot about these toss-up states, the districts. this is the house now. this is what we see with your majority at 218. the reason why we're so confident to predict republicans take majority in the house is this number on the right, dana. we believe they have 192 solid republican seats right now in the bag. for something to change now it would have to be significant in order for democrats to move from 141 up to the area we see here with republicans at 192. why does this happen? well, you could talk about the biden policies. you could talk about the last year and a half. you could also talk about history. bill clinton's first mid-term lost 58 in the house. george bush is the exception. he gained it. security was a big issue here at home and overseas coming off

9/11. obama lost many seats and you see what history tells you pretty much stacked up against joe biden. that's on the house. now on the senate this is a much more interesting story because we simply do not know what can happen here. we showed you the house. here is the senate. right now 50/50 majority. number of toss-ups much smaller. the numbers much smaller as well in the senate. you will hear a lot over the next four months about 5 to 8 senate races across the country and those five to eight toss-up races will determine the majority in the u.s. senate come mid november. as of today that's our power ranking. that's the way we see it. always subject to change but reality and mid-july is republicans are in the driver's seat. >> dana: we'll see if it changes if at all.

let's bring in our panel. one from the rnc and one from the dnc. you see the numbers today. "the new york times" poll if you are in the white house today it is not a welcome one you are looking at. one thing stuck out to me, the number of young people under 30. 94% of democrats under the age of 30 said they would prefer a different presidential nominee. can the president try to win them back? >> absolutely. i think first we have to look at statistics and history. we know the party in power loses seats. will we lose seats? we are? is it possible the republicans control the house? it is likely but by how much? we see strong economic numbers to benefit joe biden. gas prices have started to come down. i think that's beneficial for him. most economists say inflation peaked in june. do we see inflation come down in the next four months? i think we have time, four

months is a lot of time in the political arena. i think joe biden will do just fine come the mid-terms. but again we have four months. let's see what happens. >> dana: doug, you worked at the rnc in 2010 and you were getting ready for the mid-term for all the things that jose just said do you think the president has time to turn things around on the economy where call for number three most important issue facing the country new fox poll shows the economy and inflation, cost of living together that's 35%. >> i think the challenge for joe biden and democrats is let's say inflation falls by half. we're still talking about a 4.5% or 4% inflation right which is still too high. it's one of the things democrats are going to struggle with. when i was at the rnc in 2010 our magic obama was 46. if he was at or below that we would take back the house. biden's numbers are well below that. when you look at where

democrats are failing is those numbers and where they can only really hope is that republicans and we saw this in 2010, 2012 and 14 as well, nominate bad candidates. in missouri talking to voters if they nominate bad republicans who potentially turn very winnable seats into loseable seats republicans can fall. that's the democrats' best hope at this point. >> bill: doug, hold that thought a moment here. guys, go for call for number 6 that comes after this segment. i want to ask you about this. the president is blaming republicans for all the problems on inflation, that's issue number one. react to this from the tweet. republicans are doing nothing but obstructing our efforts to crack down on gas -- and hopefully lower prescription drug cost. it is why the elect thun will be important. it will be very important.

how do you blame the other party? when you have the house and senate and you have all the power in washington, d.c. >> i get that but at the end of the day you need republicans to get things done. it's a democracy. part of it has to be with republicans. they are obsessed with the new polls that say 80% of the country think we're going in the wrong direction. i'm frustrated we're going in the wrong direction as well. the president is trying to get things done for the american people and republicans say we won't get it done with the biden seal that's not negotiating or compromise. i think that the american people get frustrated let's get things done. we got the infrastructure bill all democrats. some sort of gun reform bill that's beneficial but we need republicans to get the rest of the things to happen. they don't want to do it because they understand if they do it biden will take credit and it will hurt republicans come november. republicans have some of the

blame. absolutely, 100%. >> dana: let's give you 30 seconds to respond to that. >> the party that's in the minority never helps the majority. that's the rule in politics. maybe a good rule or bad rule. democrats didn't want to help the trump agenda or bush agenda or other bush or reagan. that's the reality in politics. if you're in the minority your job is to vote no. good or bad that's the reality we're in. >> bill: thanks to both of you. >> dana: good to see you. >> bill: unveiling the big power rankings we have in 20226789 >> dana: i love a day like that. i like the little information. the other thing is that people are wondering is how much will the roe v. wade weigh in on -- you see a little bit of movement but not a lot. here is the vice president harris talking about abortion as the mid-term issue of the day. >> we need to understand that states are passing laws because of what the supreme court has

now allowed to happen. so what does this mean? it means that we're looking at elections coming up in 120 something days. they will be about who serves in congress and we need a pro-choice congress. >> bill: they have an issue. how big it becomes we don't know yet. >> dana: i said fox news poll "the new york times" poll that came out last night has of all the issues important to you facing the country, abortion is at 5%. some democrats will look and say we have just gotten started but the other way to look at that is to say if you look at independent voters and women maybe you hide that off. in the "new york times" poll gender gap of democrats of 20 points on abortion as an important issue exists. i don't know if it's the key issue that vice president harris would like it to see. >> bill: today we're off and running. >> dana: i'm running. absolutely. there was a tweet fight brewing. elon musk fires back to twitter

over their threat to sue him over the buy-out bid. >> i don't want a problem. >> bill: what you are watching here is new video moments before a deadly stabbing in a new york city deli earlier this month. and now a former nypd inspector we'll ask what we see on this piece of video. >> dana: migrants by the bus load at the southern border. now children left to fend for themselves in the treacherous terrain. we're live on the ground in texas. >> they're using every tool and strategy we can. it's time for congress to step up under article 1, section 8 of the united states constitution. congress has the direct authority to call for an invasion and to do something about securing our border.

>> president biden: keep making your point. it is critically important. we can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women. in the meantime fundamentally the only thing that will change this is if we have a national law. >> bill: that from over the weekend. president biden encouraging pro-choice protestors to keep at it. the white house says all demonstrations should be peaceful meanwhile a liberal activist group now get this are offering $50 to $200 tips on the location of the six conservative justices so protestors can target them in public. midweek last week it was successful. a former speech writer for

president bush marc these en. d.c. service industry workers if you see kavanaugh, alito or roberts and others direct message us with the details and we'll then mow you $50 for a confirmed sighting and $200 if they're still there 30 minutes after your message. twitter says they got a policy that prohibits such behavior. this group is still on twitter, imagine that. >> imagine that, yeah. it's appalling. what these activists and biden white house don't appreciate is that they are completely out of touch with the american people when it comes to abortion. there was a harvard/harris poll came out run by a former clinton pollster, 72% of americans banning abortion at 15 weeks or earlier. that includes 69% of men and 75% of women. so women want tougher restrictions on abortion than men. none allowed under roe.

it includes 60% of democrats. they are out of step with the mainstream democrats out there who also support restrictions on abortion. the democratic orthodoxy today is abortion on demand to the moment of birth. that is supported by 10% of the american people. 72% of americans and 75% of women agree with republicans when it comes to restricting abortion and 10% agree with the democrats when it comes to this issue. >> bill: brett kavanaugh in a restaurant and protestors outside. the kitchen staff gets them out of the restaurant through the back door. how long will this go on? >> here is the interesting thing about that. not only do americans disagree on the substance of the issue, they also don't support this kind of incivilityened underscores the failure of the biden presidency. why was joe biden elected? to end the instability.

heal the nation and unite a country. that was his -- his words. is this healing the nation and uniting the country? his supporters are engaged in the incivility. what they underscore for the american people is the biden presidency has failed in its promise it made. the reason why they voted for joe biden. they didn't want socialism. they voted for him to end chaos and uncivility and instead they get more of it from the left. >> bill: abortion here you mentioned. on friday the president was in cleveland, right? memory serves. there is this story about a 10-year-old girl who went overstate lines to get an abortion. here is how he told it and then i'll talk about it on the other side here first. >> president biden: this isn't some imagined horror. it is already happening. just last week it was reported that a 10-year-old girl was a rape victim. 10 years old.

and she was forced to have to travel out of the state to indiana to seek to terminate the pregnancy. >> bill: that story is out there t. washington poefrt right this. a one source story of a 10-year-old and abortion goes viral. the account of a one-source story that went around the world. it is a very difficult story to check. we don't know if this story is even true, marc. >> yes. dana will remember that in our white house the bush white house, we had a fact checking operation run by the staff second who was brett kavanaugh. his job was for one of the things he did was every presidential speech had to be -- came with an annotated page backing up every factual assertion. this wouldn't have passed our fact checking process. the single source score sto*ry and a second hand source.

according to the post fact checker no evidence of anyone being charged the rape of a 10-yr-in the state true, if t is true it is a tragedy and means there is a child rapist on the loose in ohio who needs to be brought to justice. >> bill: marc, thank you. chew on all that. marc thiessen in washington >> dana: can i add to something marc just said you have a staff secretary, brett cavanaugh was that in the bush administration and they check every word. if you got one thing wrong the media was all over it. that was the only fact check we have seen about this from the "washington post". >> bill: when the president says it it lives on. >> dana: it went around the world and a correction would not. more ton's put out a statement about the harassment at the restaurant saying honorable supreme court justice kavanaugh

and other patrons were harassed by unruly protestors. it shouldn't trample the freedom of play to eat dinner. there is a time and place to everything. disturbing the act of eating of all of our customers. >> bill: you don't hear that all the time. credit to mortons for putting that out there. >> dana: if they didn't do it they would be facing more of it. there is that. we have this. fox news reporting has found a federal agency spent $15 million in covid relief money on so-called anti-racist and social activism program in schools. hillary vaughn on capitol hill. >> democrats insisted this was taxpayer money that had to be spent to help the country recover from the pandemic. but now we get insight into where the money spent actually went. it is raising more than eyebrows. some lawmakers say the taxpayers need a refund. as part of the american rescue

plan $50 million went to an agency that supports libraries and museum. they gave that cash to museums and libraries for projects. here is what your taxpayer money paid for. $40,000 to the rochester museum and science center in new york for an anti-racism education field trip for third graders educating them about a community effort to take down racist artwork from a historic carousel. 43,000 to the minneapolis institute of arts to train tour guides so they can guide their tours with quote an anti-racist lens and include topics like social activism for students. the brooklyn museum got $50,000 to produce content in schools that looks at history and art through quote an anti-racist lens and the studio museum in harlem new york got $50,000 to bailed nine foot bronze statue

that addresses black masculinity and stereotypes. they said these awards libraries and museums to remain strong by responding to the challenging issues face being their community resulting the pandemic. respected for the work they do in and for the community including presenting topics that are not only important but sometimes difficult. lawmakers aren't convinced and this the money should be paid back. a congressman who sits on the house oversight and financial services committee told fox digital i don't care how long it takes we need a top down audit how every dollar of the american rescue plan has been spent. any individual or organization who utilized these funds out to provide a thorough defense of their decisions and anyone who spent arp dollars outside the letter or spirit of that law must be held to account. even some obama economists say the american rescue plan added to inflation. you could say taxpayers paid twice for this, dana. >> dana: a good way to put it.

thank you. >> bill: we have new video from that attack here in new york city of this bodega that led to a controversial murder charge. what it shows the employee was doing just before he was attacked. you have to see this. also a 14-year-old stabbed to death on a new york city subway platform in broad daylight over the weekend. the latest on that investigation and where it stands. at. ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar. enter powered by protein challenge for a chance to win big. ♪♪

attack. they say the two teens knew one another. investigators say the conflict between the two began in harlem saturday afternoon and continued to a nearby subway station when police arrived they found a 14-year-old bleeding from the abdomen taken to a local hospital where he died a short time later. on sunday morning police arrested a 15-year-old who they have not identified and charged him with the murder. people who live in the neighborhood were distressed to learn about the deadly attack. >> i'm outside to go to the supermarket nearby and they told us a 14-year-old kid got stabbed and it is really hurtful. i live around here. it's so surprising to hear and hurtful to hear somebody who we could live around and play around got hurt. >> in unrelated incident that has outraged new yorkers new security camera video obtained by the "new york post" shows a convenience store clerk now charged with murder trying to

prevent a confrontation that turned deadly. many people said he was acting in self-defense. austin had a dispute when things turned violent. simon approached alba. alba calls the younger man papa as he appears to try to diffuse the situation. >> papa, what's up with you? what's up with you? >> repeating it the phrase i don't want problem papa. if convicted of murder, second degree murder, alba faces up to 25 years in prison. a group of city council members say the district attorney in this case is rewarding the guilty and punishing the innocent. >> dana: we'll see if they win out. >> bill: more out rage at progressive manhattan d.a.

against bragg after that video emerged. a piece by the former nypd inspector. he writes this. crime tipping point. nyc bodega case could spark crackdown and violent criminals. why do you think this could be a tipping point? >> we've hit a point now where our criminal justice system is so twisted and disfigured that it is getting hard to miss that you have a situation where law abiding citizens have to worry about having the full weight of the law come down on them at work when career criminals are walking around free and getting every benefit of the doubt. we're seeing around the country the beginnings of some pushback. boudin in san francisco is out. gascon on referendum. they are beginning impeachment proceedings on the d.a. in philadelphia. george soros isn't getting his

money's worth. in new york city we now have alvin bragg managed to make himself through his handling of this case and other measures central to the new york state governors race in november. >> dana: you talk about the bodega owners who are banding together and figuring out a way to protect themselves. from 2018 to 2020 this is nationwide overall increases in assault reported to the f.b.i. up 42%. grocery stores 63%. convenience stores 75% and they did something interesting. they reached to an entity you wouldn't expect. >> the nra. a larger trend. convenience stores are low hanging fruit for some criminals. they one of the few cash businesses left and often a business that's available only or commonly to new immigrants in the country. they operate on a very slim profit margin. they don't make a lot of money.

security systems aren't very good. sometimes cameras don't work. so to a lot of the criminal class they look like an easy day at the office. what you are seeing now and the coalition is very desperate. you have the bodega association of america, another group talking about how they want new york state to institute a stand your ground law the way they have in florida. i would characterize all of these things as tipping point or the beginnings of a tipping point. something we may already be in the midst of. if it's not, then when are we going to get one? i think if our polls and politicians are not picking up on this they better start. >> bill: right. the law says you can defend yourself in a case like we saw in this video, correct? you have self-defense on your side which is what this man did. as a state, new york's liberal policies are pretty evident. the governor it seems supports

this. the state house in albany seems they support it. clearly the d.a. here in manhattan supports it. who in new york goes to the d.a. and says you need to think twice about the decisions you've made about this bodega? >> unfortunately in his area of control in manhattan for d.a. bragg, his power is plenary in that he makes the decisions. we have the recall provision in new york state. the only way they can be ousted if the governor fires him. >> bill: i'm not asking for that question about how you fire him. does the mayor call up alvin bragg and say you made a mistake here? does the governor call up the d.a. and say -- who has his ear to change his mind? >> governor could just because of the firing provision. the governor has the ability to say i'm going to oust this guy. the governor is in a position to do that.

unfortunately the governor has been hands off on this issue. they has been absentee. >> dana: she said she doesn't need data to make decisions. i have a question. to all of us watching it is self-defense. he is charged with second degree murder and taken to the ryker's prison. this is a surprise to me. his wounds then became infected while at ryker's. he finally is able to get out on an ankle monitor. it seems so outrageous and i could see why you think it could be a tipping point. >> there were better ways to handle this. in a more judicious way to do it would have been to slow down, collect the facts, not put him in ryker's or don't ask for such a draconian bail. don't charge murder two right

out of the box and gather the facts for the grand jury. that would have been done in a way that didn't look like the full weight of the system came down on a guy who was trying to defend himself at work. >> bill: you make an interesting point about the tipping point and see if you're right, paul. >> dana: thank you so much. >> thank you both. >> dana: djokovic winning his fourth straight wimbledon. i'm reading sports. he won thinks 21st grand slam overall. he said he still has no plans to get vaccinated for covid-19 and that means he will likely be barred from playing in next month's u.s. open in new york city. that's a real shame. i'm determined to go to the u.s. open for the first time. i went one time but i went to the women's finals and took 32 minutes. it wasn't very satisfying. >> bill: the cab ride was twice

as long. i wish djokovic would come and play. we had the debate earlier today. apparently the law in the u.s. right now is that they will stop -- this is confusing. did not stop requiring full vaccination of non-citizen non-immigrants. i interpret that dana as saying if you are a tourist from any country in the world you want to come to new york, you have to prove that you are vaccinated. >> dana: that's right. counselor -- >> bill: this guy -- so one of the greatest tennis players in the world has to prove that he is vaccinated if he wants to get -- >> dana: he won't get vaccinated. either we change our policy or don't get to see him. >> bill: before the tournament starts, which i think is possible. i'll be on the record now. by the end of august maybe the policy changes. thank you. border agents seizing more than 5,000 pounds of meth. look at this.

they say traffickers brought it across the southern border. we'll take you there live coming up. a planeful of passengers catching on fire and how this turned out after landing at our busiest airport.

(mom allen) verizon just gave us all a brand new iphone 13. (dad allen) we've been customers for years. (dad brown) we got iphone 13s, too. switched two minutes ago, literally right before this. (vo) now everyone can get a new iphone 13 on us on america's most reliable 5g network. for every customer. current, new, everyone. to show the love. among my patients, i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

>> bill: now to our southern border where federal agents seized more than 5,000 pounds

of meth in southern california. officials say the traffickers smuggled the drugs into the u.s. inside of two trucks. you can see how high they stacked. bill melugin along the southern border tracking down the story and more as he does in eagle pass, texas. bill. >> bill, good morning to you. this massive meth bust took place in san diego county and it is now one of the biggest meth busts in that county's history. right to the photo now. look. as you mentioned more than 5,000 pounds of meth. that's 2 1/2 tons that were found and seized after it was smuggled in two trucks through a port of entry. law enforcement and feds had eyes on it as it came through. four mexican men were arrested and charged each facing between 10 years to life in prison. take a look at this photo out of arizona. cbp officers port of entry making a major fentanyl bust finding more than 40,000 fentanyl pills hidden in a

vehicle's modified battery. 23 packages hidden in the area modified to create room to smuggle the drugs. look at the second photo here. same port of entry in arizona, 10,000 fentanyl pills found stuffed in a body shaping garment worn by a woman in a separate incident. two separate incidents back-to-back 50,000 fentanyl pills found in arizona at the port of entry. eagle pass. look at the video over the weekend of yet another massive single group that crossed illegally here during the sweltering summer temperatures. it was approximately 300 in size, 108 degrees when we shot the video coming in from all over the world. someone from bangladesh last week. migrants struggle with this heat. it is not a seasonal border crisis. take a look at the video we shot late last night as we were embedded with texas dps as they were looking for illegal immigrants sneaking through private ranchs in kinney county

tracking footprints and backpacks under a tree and moments later a group of six illegal immigrants hiding face down in the brush. texas dps arrested all of them. 10 others unaccounted for and got away. earlier in the evening we had a chance to talk to a local ranch owner who had a human smuggler crash through the fence. what does she say to the white house when they claim the border is closed? >> that's a joke. they ought to come down here and fear for their lives. they're not staying here. they are coming through my ranch because they are headed somewhere else. they aren't staying in kinney county. but the border is not closed. they're pouring across every day and they are destroying our property. >> then take a look at the heat map here. temperatures scorching across the southern border today. here where we are in eagle pass temperatures expected to hit about 109 degrees and these numbers are not slowing down.

just another reminder, guys, this border crisis is not seasonal despite what the white house has previously claimed. >> bill: you're right about that. thank you, bill. eagle pass. >> dana: the border is set to be a key issue in arizona's senate race. that seat could determine which party controls the senate. let's bring in jim lehman, arizona op rehentions if you look at this number through may of 2022 you have 385,000. that is already double what you had in the full years leading up to that with the 2020 being one of the lowest at 74,000. what do you hear on the campaign trail on this issue out there? >> it is number one issue in arizona not just republicans but for independents as well. i had the backing, endorsement of the national border patrol council, brandon judd is active on the campaign trail and arizona police and sheriff's

association. this invasion is absolutely threatening the sovereignty of our country, the meth and the fentanyl is just incredible what is happening and killing americans. really, really have to get serious about this to save our country and our kids and that's why we are leading in the race because these guys have endorsed me and active with it. they want someone who will be a fighter to go to the board are and make sure we get this done in the u.s. senate which is remain in mexico policy. border guys said they have all the agents and quim they need. they need someone to stand up in the senate and make remain in mexico policy the law and enforce it. my number two competitor was for open borders before he decided to run for the race. people of arizona see through that kind of stuff. they are very serious about making sure that we secure the southern border. i'll do that. >> dana: there are three of you in the primary for the republican nomination. put them on the board here.

let's call for number two. the candidates. this is a very important senate race because the balance of control in the senate really rests on just a few states that are right now as the fox power ranking is a toss-up. so just about two weeks away from the primary and i believe in the polls you have been running behind the other two. do you have a plan to figure out a way to get ahead? >> there is a lot of fake polls that the democrats have been producing. they would love to run against one of these other two versus myself. the resume as a veteran and successful business guy. neither of the two have any of that. masters 34-year-old tech kid from california. brnovich seven years do nothing. we've been leading since the first week of march. we expand the lead and also more importantly when you go up against kelly in that race

we're the one leading by far over the other republican candidates. inflation, i'm a successful business guy. >> dana: masters, who received the trump endorsement, he is trying to take that all the way to the end of the race. he calls you a liberal who supports china. how much of a factor is the former president in the presidential primary -- the senate primary there in arizona? >> just on those hits dana follow the money, right? $15 million coming out of facebook board member globalist out of california. where masters spent most of his adult life. they don't want an america first guy in the u.s. senate going against mark kelly in the race upcoming. that's why again i said we've been leading in all the real polls. we use mclaughlin and the people in arizona strong on this. what they are looking for this time is not endorsements, they are looking for a tough person, somebody who has been in

business and a veteran and who understands the national border patrol council and law enforcement are the most meaningful endorsements. >> dana: tell everybody the incumbent is mark kelly. a former astronaut. been quiet up to now until he started distancing himself from the biden administration. a tough race in november. but before that there is august 2 primary. thank you for being with us today. we'll follow the race closely. >> thank you. >> bill: interesting to watch. major legal battle brewing between elon musk and twitter. what's at stake today for both sides?

>> we'll pay you to protest. let us know where they are. online group based in d.a. offered up to $200 for realtime info on the location of justices while they're out in public. this as president biden faces growing pressure to protect abortion access. marc thiessen last hour dana and me underscoring one of biden's biggest political problem. >> what the activists and the biden white house don't appreciate is that they are completely out of touch with the american people. underscores the fundamental failure of the biden presidency. why was joe biden elected? he was elected to end the incivility, to heal the nation and unite the country. his words. >> bill: mark meredith leads our coverage from the north lawn at the white house this morning. good morning. >> good morning to you. the white house says the president supports peaceful protests but the administration is not denouncing these protests that happen at places where judges and lawmakers the end to frequent. think of hotels, restaurants,

as well as outside of people's homes as we have seen. a lot of questions about what the president is talking about when he is encourage knowledge more protests. here is what he had to say over the weekend. >> president biden: keep protesting and making your point. it is critically important. the only thing that will change this is if we have a national law. >> critics say there is a chance the protests can get out of hand. last weekend kavanaugh had to leave a d.c. morton's steakhouse through a back door after protestors figured out where he was eating and tried to confront him. they offered cold hard cash to let them know when they see judges out around town. the group mentions targeting specific justices kavanaugh, alito, thomas and others. we have already seen protests outside their homes. one man awaiting trial for alleginging attempting to kill

kavanaugh. the governor is asking the government to do more. the president himself is under growing measure from members of his own party to resecure women's access to abortion and one potential 2024 challenger says the white house needs to do more to be engaged in the issue. >> the federal government should be doing more. i talked to the president about this. he took some action in that regard with some executive orders the other day. but democrats need to be pushing for a national law that protects reproductive rights across the nation. >> that's one thing we've seen more of in the last few days. democrats speeng up encouraging the white house to become more aggressive on the issue. the poll out today the president is facing serious political head winds. 64% of democrat voters want to see a new nominee in 2024. >> bill: 33% in that poll. >> dana: joining us for more on

this civil rights attorney leo terrell fox news contributor and percy's biggest fan. youngkin is frustrated he can't do more to protect the justices. >> i wish we could do more and why i've called on attorney general garland to enforce the federal law which is so clear you can't parade and picket in front of a judge's home and try to influence them. this is not a moment where we can allow anything to happen to our justices. broadly speaking this is about democracy. >> dana: so is there anything that he could do that would be at the state level that is not available to him at the federal level since the attorney general apparently is hands off? >> thanks for having me, dana. the priority the responsibility is at the federal level. if there is a state law he can enforce yes. but i'll tell you right now the inaction of the department of justice is a signal to these protestors. you mention it as bounty money

at the top as far as money being paid to harass, intimidate supreme court justices. not just the justice but their family members. the attorney general has done nothing to stop this, to deter it or enforce the current federal law. that's a signal to the protestors go ahead. we have joe biden basically saying the same thing. we will support you. one final point on this you have the white house press secretary basically hiding under the first amendment freedom of speech. this is a violation of law. freedom of speech only goes to a certain point. >> bill: leo, you might have seen the tweet but you might not have seen the response from morton's the steakhouse where brett carve now was eating last week. they asked if you've got -- if you know where somebody is scourt justices send us $50 and if they're still there when we get there we'll give you $200. what is this world?

morton's put out a statement saying they won't allow it. if more restaurants did that, you would see less of this. >> bravo to morton and i hope they stood up and said we're not going to tolerate this. they respect the supreme court justices and support the idea that freedom of speech and the right to protest is limited to a certain extent and here morton's stood up and face the backlash but i'm very proud of them. basically what they are doing is with the bounties they are giving employment opportunities to professional protestors specifically against the supreme court justices. >> dana: the thing we've been following today is eye opening, disappointing on a monday when you think you might be able to start off the week feeling better about your government and this happens, something like this. here is some of this american rescue plan money going to things like the anti-racism

training, woke basically policies. rochester museum had a third grade field trip to see a take it down exhibit about a statue there. minneapolis institute of arts trains guides of the museum to use anti-racist lens in giving tours. studio museum in harlem built a statue that address black masculine tee and a north mississippi community policy make campus safe spaces. this is the american rescue plan in the title. i can imagine federal taxpayers would be frustrated this isn't a rescue. fine to spend money on if you want to but why federal taxpayer dollars? >> thank you for asking me that question. i'm owe a school teacher and a civil rights lawyer. expanded to inject racism. now libraries and museums. this has absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic or the

covid condition that we had. i challenge anyone the statue of masculinity, i want someone watching this program to tell me what does that do to reduce the pandemic or effect covid? teaching kids anti-racism, what is the standard, dana? it has nothing -- where is the inspector general on this $1.9 million of covid funds designed for covid relief but used to progress and expand a racist, anti-critical race theory agenda beyond the schools and this is a back doorway to do it. it is shameful and embarrassing. >> bill: it's what you get when you spend $2 trillion of government money. thank you. we'll call you later in the week. the f.b.i. director saying that agents will keep investigating chinese spying here in the u.s. despite the d.o.j. getting rid of a trump-era intelligence program known as the china initiative. more of what it's about.

>> good morning. the f.b.i. opened a counter intelligence investigation against china on average every 12 hours. think about that. that statistic coming directly from the f.b.i. director christopher wray in london meeting with top british intelligence officials. we were there. he was talking about the china threat to the united states. now there are about 2,000 plus investigations, active investigations now dealing with chinese espionage, academic. this is more specifically against people or entities with connection to the communist government. outside the building i speak to you people proper tellsed to get rid of the china initiative. it began in the trump administration to root out chinese espionage in academia. merrick garland and his team disbanded the initiative in the

name over concerns over racial profiling. i sat down with director chris wray in london on friday. the head of mi5 to talk china. i asked director wray specifically if it was a mistake to get rid of the china initiative. here is what he said. >> we are not going to engage in profiling by ethnicity or national origin and we haven't. we are going to work jointly with universities and when law enforcement action is the appropriate tool to be used, we'll use that tool. >> that's what wray said at the f.b.i. the f.b.i. is part of the d.o.j. i asked d.o.j. multiple times if it was a mistake to get rid of the china initiative. they say just because the program is gone in name it does not mean that investigations over chinese espionage have completely ceased. they claim they continue on. >> bill: we shall see on that. thank you so much. david spunt in washington >> dana: twitter reportedly

getting ready to sue elon musk over his attempt to terminate the $44 billion buy-out. kelly o'grady has the story. you were the first person i thought of over the weekend when the story broke. >> elon is my favorite thing to talk about. twit ore has lawyered up and expected to file the suit to force musk to close. he said they failed to provide key information but dramatically understating the number of botts on the platform. can he win? there is a billion dollar breakup fee associated with terminating the agreement. the tesla ceo could face more money consequences if he loses. he is pretty confident in the evidence. transaction lawyers telling us it will be difficult to prove twitter is lying though if he can the platform is in major hot water with the f.c.c. musk may prove they withheld information. while he chose not to review the data before reviewing to

the deal doesn't mean he waived his right to see it. they say sometimes twitter has ignored mr. musk's request and rejected them for reasons that are unjustified and sometimes claimed to comply while giving him incomplete or unusable information. we can't rule out it is another dramatic ploy to renegotiate a lower price. twitter is in a bad spot facing the task of trying to fight musk in court and keeping morale up. twitter's credibility is questioned and it is not over. >> dana: it is not and i bet we'll see you again. thank you, kelly. >> before i knew it, a big metal bolt like pipe hit me right here. it happened so fast. >> bill: that was unprovoked attack. you can see the evidence over her eye leaving her with gruesome injuries. could it be a tipping point in

los angeles in this crime crisis? we'll have a look. >> dana: critics are pouncing on president biden -- how the president is justifying. >> bill: the mass resignation hitting new heights in one state after the governor tried to force state employees to come back to work. jimmy failla has some thoughts on that. >> dana: look at that graphic. ♪♪♪ i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks.

>> dana: video from san francisco shows a group of school kids walking home through what is described as a crowd of homeless drug users. jonathan hunt is live in los angeles with the latest on that and jonathan an olympian said she was viciously attacked on the street by a homeless man over the weekend. >> that olympian is kim glass in downtown l.a. over the weekend. after leaving lunch she says this happened. >> a man ran up, he had something in his hand and he just looked at me with some pretty hateful eyes and as i turned to go tell my friends i think something is wrong with him and i think he is going to hit the car, before i knew it a

big metal pipe hit me right here. it happened so fast. >> volleyball medalist suffered injuries that were fractures around her right eye and had this message for anyone watching her instagram video. >> stay safe out there. keep your head on a swivel. off your phones. i wasn't ready for it and there are a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now. >> the last official count of the number of homeless people in los angeles county was just over 66,000. that was pre-pandemic in 2020. and was a 13% increase over 2019. but it certainly seems that those of us who live here the numbers have risen more quickly since the pandemic took hold. the los angeles homeless services authority, which is responsible for the count every year, has delayed release of

this year's numbers until around september. it is unclear why. >> be safe, all right? sorry you have to go through this and see all this. >> homelessness is also a major issue in san francisco where that twitter campaign and ritchie win posted the video of school children getting off their bus in the city center and having to walk past what you saw there a large group of homeless people. now the crisis of homelessness certainly issues on the minds of voters in san francisco and here in l.a., dana. where we'll be electing a new mayor this year with homelessness by far the top issue for voters according to recent polls. certainly a crisis that voters want someone to tackle and quickly, dana. >> dana: what a report, thank you so much. >> bill: wow. eye opener yet again. more than 300 state employees in virginia have resigned in

the past two months. this after the new governor glenn youngkin pushed to get the workers to come back to the office. they said you can take the job and have it. jimmy failla is here, host of fox across america and fox news radio. hello to you. they've got 21,000 state employees, a lot of cops, etc. but 300 of them said they are going home and staying where i am. >> youngkin wants them to come back allow them a day drink in their pajamas. it's what a lot of it is. the lockdowns corrupted our process. people got used to the convenience of work but i side with youngkin here for one reason. are you kidding yourself if you don't think the team does better work in person. we know that. that's what i think this is. a quality of work issue. we got through the lockdowns as a neck work because we have the best offensive line in the world. the staff is phenomenal. they are the best staff on the planet but that being said got back to the studio and like wow, it was so much better.

safer having to see jimmie's jackets in person. the reason i don't think he is facing a retention problem is other employers are finally finding jesus a little late in the service and will start pushing people to come back to work. that's what i think. >> dana: there is also a couple of other factors. one is the commutes are terrible and that's also something that -- we have an infrastructure bill and see if that helps at all. commutes are awful. so many childcare centers closed and forced people to make a choice. if you are take care of a parent or child and you don't have the option anymore. >> there is that concern and this is nuanced. a lot of them got used to staying home. >> dana: i don't see how young people can move up in the organization effectively if they are not being seen. >> you need to be there and part of the culture. i get that commuting can be bad

and expensive but long-term we're kidding ourselves if we don't think we'll do it in person when it comes to business and closing deals. >> bill: can't cut you off. >> you might have wanted to. >> i was going to say nobody wants to come work in new york. the only people fully staffed in new york is cnn. you should have cut me off. you should have cut me off. >> bill: again you're right. there is an extortion scam costing restaurant owners thousands of dollars. the reason why. you can rate a restaurant on how many stars. apparently people are paying attention to it. do you? >> i don't. i was one of those people who looked at online reviews like dating. you might like what you see but you dig deeper the highlights were 20 years ago. this is a liability for yelp. there is that perception that

some of these reviews might not be on the level. >> dana: they are being held hostage. if you don't send your google plate gift card to us we'll give you a one-star review. it shouldn't be allowed. >> have ambition, $75? you risk jail for -- gasoline. >> bill: i go on word of mouth. >> most of the places i go to don't have websites. i go to the food carts where you pray after you eat. >> bill: see you on the corner for a hot dog. >> dana: the cbp commissioner said border agents accused of whipping migrants didn't whip anyway but likely face punishment. >> joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer came out criticizing about the whips. there is no doubt this was political and it is really unfortunate for the border

agents. their careers may be ruined and they've been humiliated in front of the entire american public. um, oh wow. um, the future is, uh, what's ahead of us. i don't get it. yeah. maybe this will help. so now we're in the present. and now... we're in the future. the all-electric chevy bolt euv with available super cruise™ for hands-free driving. - dad. - yeah? do fish get thirsty? eh. find new answers. find new roads. chevrolet.

>> bill: california teenager who once identified as transgender took hormones and had surgery now opposing the use of medicaid funds on medical interventions for gender disinformation dysphoria. >> she underwent years of hormone therapy to become a boy and transitioned back to a girls. she warned against letting children change gender and exposed an industry of gender-affirming doctors and therapists who she says take advantage of confused teenagers into irreversible procedure.

was not informed. gender reassignment surgery, 10,000 cases a year in the u.s. cost $8,000 to $25,000 per person. to deny payment is discrimination. >> bill: interesting story. william la jeunesse in l.a. >> what joe biden did, he is the chief executive. these men work for him. instead of showing strong leadership he has shown cowardice and doubling down on it and it disgusts me. >> dana: a september incident involve border agents on horse back. the president and others falsely accused agents of whipping migrants, a cbp investigation later found in evidence of that. the agency is still recommending punishment for what they say was unnecessary force and offensive language. here to talk about it is former acting ice director tom homan and former horse patrol agent

kathy. tom, you know what it's like when investigations are being done. last fall in september secretary mayorkas said this investigation would take days, not weeks. it has been months. they concluded that there was no offense in terms of no migrant was hit. the reins were being used appropriately and still want to find something to pin on these guys. what is the latest from what you are hearing? >> exactly right. i ran internal affairs division for several years and secretary is right. investigation was done in a couple of days. the office of inspector general declined the investigation like you and me and kathy we looked at the video and saw there is no criminal charge here. they didn't whip anybody. that wasn't good enough. so they weaponized the office of professional responsibility and cbp to find something. they had to find something because they can't embarrass the white house or the secretary and vice president who already convicted these people and promised they would pay. look, the officers already paid. they got called out by the president of the united states from the white house podium.

they went home from work that day to their families. they've been humiliated in front of the entire country for almost a year. so these -- their careers are ruined. regardless if they come back the migrant investigations they want to hit them with. even if they beat it they'll never outlive this. the careers and lives have been affected and what should have happened when they found out they didn't whip people the president of the united states should have got the white house podium. the same place he vilified the people and apologize because the model of the border patrol is honor first. the president stole that and they deserve it back. >> dana: look at the flashback. it wasn't just one person who said this. this was an administrative-wide effort to smear these guys. >> president biden: it's outrageous. i promise you, those people

will pay. >> a heart wrenching issue. >> it was horrible and deeply drublg. >> dana: as federal employees those are your bosses, the president and vice president and now want to tag them with unnecessary force and bad language. if you are called to an area and doing what are you supposed to be doing is that possibly unnecessary force? >> look, the agents were in that area because they were assigned there. they weren't assigned by supervisors but by management. if management didn't want them to be around people, be walking around people, one of the things that opr has discovered they were walking around people they should have been assigned there. these poor agents, they are so frustrated. so much attention has been placed on this video. nobody is talking about the

reason why they were there. thousands of people were crossing and they were there to address that. they did their job and now they are being vilified for it. >> dana: the other thing they could be accused and punished for offensive language. that's very vague. almost as if they want to plant the seed they initially suggested the horse whipping was racist. now they are saying that there was offensive language like are we going to find out what the language was? and to whom it was said? supposedly? >> i find it comical. i find it absolutely comical. i worked for opr as a polygraph examiner. they use offensive language in the trainings the managers did. in addition president biden just recently called a reporter an sob. did he get punished for that? >> dana: he did not. the punishment they are looking

for hasn't been meted out yet. it's important for us to keep talking about it. thank you both. >> bill: iran raising serious alarms as it moves a key step closer to building nuclear weapons as president biden gets ready for a big trip overseas in the middle east seeking help from saudi arabia on a wide range of issues. jack keane on that trip and the foreign policy challenges ahead. >> candidate biden said this saudi arabia government had little social value but that was before biden bungled our foreign policy so bad. that's me. that's 25% more cash than you get at a bank. that's me. rates are low but starting to climb. so call now.

resources, a psychopath. with no empathy, does not feel emotion. >> bill: more than a year and a half and the president is meeting with the formally called pariah. >> i think the visit is essential. we need to reset this relationship with saudi arabia and the arab world at large from the biden administration. when they came in they reached out first to iran. stiffed the arab world and also denied military equipment that was supposed willing to to saudi arabia and also to the uae. that just fundamentally pushed them, the arabs in the direction of russia and china. important visit here. i think listen, saudi arabia is a defact owe leader of the arab

world. the world's number one exporter of oil and they are the strategic arch rival of iran. so this country matters and for 80 years our republican and democratic presidents have always had to operate as president biden will do at the intersection of what's good for our national interest and how do we balance that against our own values and saudi's violation of human rights? that's the intersection our presidents have had to deal with. i think what's on the table here are a couple of major issues. one obviously the president is interested in stabilizing oil prices. and obviously a lot of the countries participating in these meetings are oil producers. secondly they want to extend the truce in yemen. extend it maybe even possibly more permanently than that and what will be on the table loud and clear is iran and

aggressive and malign behavior and how do they deal with it. >> bill: you can find the oil in pennsylvania, ohio, on and on it goes. back in the peace from over the weekend he wrote this. the middle east i'll be visiting is more stable and secure than the one my administration inheristed 18 months ago. just to refresh the memory here, isis is low longer after the caliphate was destroyed by the previous administration. abraham accords signed. meanwhile you had kabul and the pull-out in afghanistan. is that statement factually accurate general, do you believe? >> you just disputed it. it is not factually accurate at all. as a matter of fact, after the other one -- after salamony

was killed economic sanctions imposed on them. by reaching out to iran immediately upon taking the oath of office back in 2021 the iranians have become more aggressive and more maligned. i totally disagree with that basic premise. there is a lot of work to be done here, bill. the biden administration has taken a good initiative. not well-known the chairman of the joint chiefs met with the israel chief and all the arab chiefs in the region in march to try to stitch together once again some kind of arab nato and that would be an aspirational goal of this conference. may not be achieved but likely to be discussed. i think that is very important. the other thing is, the trump administration tried and also the biden administration is likely going to try to nudge the saudis to recognize israel much as some of the arab states

have done. i think out of respect for the king who doesn't want to do that, they have been reluctant to move in that direction but if they can begin some progress on those two aspirational goals, that would be quite significant. >> bill: yes, it would. he leaves tomorrow night. first stop israel, west bank. last stop saudi arabia. thank you for your time today. jack keane, nice to see you. dana. >> dana: amazing video here of a pilot making an emergency landing on a north carolina highway. that pilot joins us next after avoiding cars and power lines. ♪♪♪ only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. if anyone objects to this marriage...

the pandemic. dr. jennifer reeseman says she is totally focused on schools. >> i describe myself as a single issue voter. what you did or didn't do during coast as an incumbent is the factor i'm judging you on. if you are not an incumbent what are you doing going forward and what are you saying you will do for children? are you committed to not letting this happen to children again? >> we spoke with another mom who says she is a swing voter who supported politicians from both parties in the past and now she says education is her issue. concern children have been negatively impacted by the shutdowns. she says many people in power did not have the best interest of children and now she argues it is time to vote them out. >> bill: we'll watch that. thank you, mike emanuel in washington >> dana: have you ever driven down a highway and seen a small plane in the on coming lane?

this is far western north carolina. this wasn't farm country. these are mountains. you are coming up toward gatlinburg, tennessee. that was a challenge. >> right. it was. when i was coming down and i saw those power lines and the cars and i almost had an out of body and plane experience. i was just trying to observe and take everything in and make adjustments and correct and just not hit anybody or kill ourselves or hurt anybody. my biggest concern was threading that needle. the line through the needle. >> dana: in wyoming there is a saying if you get thrown on your horse you get right back on. did you fly again after that or have you taken a break? >> right after that three days later after the aircraft was checked out and deemed safe to take off they towed it up the mountain and able to take off from the mountain and did a 7

minute flight to the airport where the aircraft is sitting there now and more thoroughly looked at. >> bill: you got back on the horse then? >> i did for a short bit yes, i did. >> bill: did you practice this when you were getting your pilot's license? >> you practice emergency touch and gos. practicing for an emergency landing but you just don't practice for these curves and hills and the power lines and the cars. so all that you just have to make it happen on the fly and i don't noe, i honestly don't know how i did it. >> dana: but you did and we're glad you did and glad you are here today. do you have aspirations to be a commercial airline pilot? there is a dog involved? >> that's my dog, kasper. he goes flying with us now and then. >> dana: did he panic? >> no, he is super calm. my support guy and super calm. >> bill: you had to hold your

breath there was no car in the middle lane. of all the days. >> dana: we should interview a driver. if you are watching appeared driving by and saw this let us know. thank you so much. >> bill: thanks for making our day, well done. thanks to kasper. >> dana: before we go i have something for you. it is a happy anniversary. these are two world war ii veterans harold and his wife, ruth. they celebrated 75 years of marriage on the 4th of july. they say they got married on the 4th so the whole country could celebrate with them. a baseball team celebrated them by asking harold to throw out the first pitch right down the middle. straight over the plate. >> bill: you could say that. >> dana: one wouldn't.
