career and the way you carry yourself and help communicate to the people who are heartbroken in milwaukee is just incredible. we thank you for coming on the show. we will stay on top of it and hope to see you again soon. >> thank you so much. god bless you. >> dana: thank you. fox news alert now lawmakers set to grill a top southwest airlines executive over holiday flight disruptions. it led to 17,000 flight cancellations stranding passengers and costing the company more than $1 billion. the hearing about to get underway. welcome to another hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. good morning. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer, good morning at home. southwest chief operating officer will tell a senate panel that the airline messed up and scheduling systems were overwhelmed by a late december store. part of it is true. the pilot's union claim executives have been warned about outdated software for

years and did nothing about it. customers of which there were thousands were frustrated and they want answers. >> it's horrible to be sitting in an airport for five hours. >> it shows the lack of leadership. >> there was a major problem. a disconnect somewhere. this should not be happening this day in age. we shouldn't be having this kind of ground stoppage throughout the country. it makes no sense to me. >> dana: the hearing about begin in moments with one notable absence, southwest ceo jordan will not face questions because of a previous commitment. lydia hu has what to expect. hi. >> good morning. the hearing before the senate committee on commerce, science and transportation is scheduled to start around now. southwest chief operating officer is expected to apologize again for the holiday meltdown that stranded an estimated 2 million passengers over the

christmas holiday. lawmakers will demand answers on why the budget airline was unable to adequately cope with the massive winter storm as it received more than $7 billion in covid relief funds during the pandemic. in his prepared testimony, the coo explains weather and scheduling software overwhelmed. the president of the southwest airlines pilot association will also testify and he is expected to blame the carriers' over confidence in plan flights and failure to modernize. >> our customers are starting to feel the strain. our pilots have been under strain. highest fatigue rates we've seen in years. so southwest does have a reckoning and they will have to address their systems, i.t. and processes. >> the testimony comes as the u.s. department of transportation is investigating the airline over its flight

scheduling and the airline faces a lawsuit from shareholders over claims it down played and failed to disclose its outdated technology. >> dana: lydia hu, thank you. people will want to know what happened. >> talked to f.b.i. about the hunter biden story? >> to the best of my recollection i did not talk to the f.b.i. about the hunter biden story before that day. >> talk to them after that? >> i don't recall speaking to the f.b.i. at all about the hunter biden matter. >> fireworks on the hill as three extwitter executives before the house overnight committee. the three facing questions over what they knew about twitter's censoring of the hunter biden laptop story. david spunt is live at d.o.j. with more on details there. >> good morning. for more than two years house republicans have wanted to hold a hearing involving the f.b.i., twitter, and the name hunter biden. they got their wish yesterday

and now in a majority in a hearing that lasted most of the day. watch this. >> we don't know where the f.b.i. ends and twitter begins. >> we are talking about hunter biden's half baked laptop story. this is an embarrassment. >> the hearing focused on this october 14, 2020, "new york post" cover. biden's secret emails exposing information about hunter's business dealings overseas. it was suspended on twitter for the days leading up to the election. >> in hindsight twitter should have reinstated the post account immediately. >> i will be the first to admit we didn't always get it right. >> democrats template down the premise of the hearing arguing twitter can do what it wants. >> some people think it was the right decision. some people think it was the wrong decision. the key point here is that it was twitter's decision. twitter is a private media company. in america, private media companies can decide what to publish or how to curate

content. >> in a statement to fox news the f.b.i. says the f.b.i. rejects the characterization of inappropriate relationship with twitter or any other social media company. the f.b.i. does not instruct or direct any social media company to censor an account or remove information from their platform. two hours another hearing focusing on the so-called weaponization of the federal government. the department of justice including the f.b.i. will be mentioned many times. you can expect it from attorney general merrick garland's october 2021 school memo, low prosecution numbers of people who attacked pro-life pregnancy resource centers. an airing of grievances that kicks off in two hours at 12:00 in the house. we'll be watching it, bill. >> bill: thank you, david spunt. updates from d.o.j. as we get them. >> dana: let's bring in james freeman from the "wall street journal" and fox news contributor. what did we learn yesterday? >> not as much as we wanted to.

the house republicans are searching for the truth but i think we learned we got a lot of not very credible answers from the witnesses. a lot of difficulty recollecting things. i understand it is a few years ago. on the other hand it was the biggest story of the year otherwise they wouldn't have tried so hard to suppress it. the idea that this potential corruption case involving the family of a major candidate for president would not have been top of mind i think those are conversations with the f.b.i., if they happened, that you would remember. you also see this really bizarre implicit claim that twitter is the problem here. mr. baker claiming attorney/client privilege. another witness saying they couldn't get my notes from twitter as if elon musk is the one who is preventing disclosure. >> dana: he waived that

attorney/client privilege for him. where is jack dorsey? he was the ceo and there is no -- why does he get off scot-free? >> i think you saw another interesting takeaway from the hearing was this phenomenon where sometimes people in the media are willing or eager to make arguments for the bidens. the bidens won't make themselves. their witness saying hunter never said it was hacked material. hunter never told us this is a lie, you have to take it down. they took it upon themselves and we want to know how active was the f.b.i. you see with the document stuff, too. media folk making arguments that some obama-era executive order gave vice president biden some sort of super powers over classified documents. no, laws apply to him and the same thing with hunter. i hope one result of this is some people in our industry think about if you make a case that the person you are making it on behalf of isn't willing to

make, might want to check yourself. >> bill: topic two. judy woodruff sat down with joe biden yesterday. a lot of things came up that have not been answered before. let's -- do we have it? okay. she was talking about the classified documents. he said they are from 1974. we hadn't heard that before. play this sample for how he answered that. >> president biden: to the best of my knowledge the kinds of things they picked up are things that from 1974 and were stray papers. there may be something else, i don't know. but one of the things that happened is that what was not done well is, as they packed up my offices to move them, they didn't do the kind of job that should have been done to go thoroughly through every single piece of literature that's there. >> bill: that's the point and story. talking about his staffers who

cleaned out his offices while he was in ukraine, fyi, at the end of his vice president. they didn't do the kind of job they should have done. >> there are no staff exemptions in the laws that govern classified materials. he is accountable. obviously is not someone who wants to be accountable. he also for someone who has told us how seriously he takes this, he doesn't seem to have bothered to learn too much about, i don't know, 1970 stray paper. what was it? really, every single document is from 1974, is that what he is saying? i don't think that's credible. you are talking about a long history, senate career, vice presidential career, different documents, different locations. so i don't think that's going to cut it. >> bill: the other thing he said, james, in the answer was there may be other things there.

to paraphrase what he said yesterday. >> from everything we've seen, that's the reasonable assumption. but just to remind people when you work in the senate, these are not files that you might casually throw in your briefcase and go home on amtrak with. there is a process. you guys have covered the whole scif system whether it's senators or staff. these documents are very tightly controlled and you have to work on it to evade those controls. >> dana: if staff is packing things up they don't necessarily leave it next to the corvette. i don't like it when people throw their staff under the bus for things you should take responsibility for. >> i agree 100%. if it really is a staff issue, where is that person, who is that person? have they been fired from the biden administration?

>> dana: they already trashed one of them on background saying she was very disorganized and she doesn't have a chance to defend herself. >> bill: i want to get this right. there may be something else i don't know. that give you some assurance? >> again, it is not about him claiming i didn't know. he has responsibilities under the law. he clearly does not seem to have followed them. it is not enough to blame staff or to say i don't recall. >> bill: thank you, james freeman. he is all fired up. we're watching the senate foreign relations committee hearing on competition with beijing. the spy campaign is parts of a larger surveillance program. both house and senate getting briefed today on that play. we'll bring you updates as we get them. it is washington, d.c., right? they don't keep secrets very long, do they? details in a moment here on that. >> dana: the search for a missing kindergarten teacher coming to a tragic end.

why authorities say her death is suspicious. >> bill: the president escalating his medicare fight with republicans and now it is getting personal. >> president biden: rick scott from florida says all federal legislation sunsets every five years. if the law is worth keeping congress can pass it again. social security and medicare, medicaid. >> bill: here to respond live florida senator rick scott in the middle of all of this. that's next. soul of north alabama, here on our family farm. then we partner with family owned mills from maine to mississippi to manufacture our cotton into quality american made fabrics that become our heirloom inspired bedding, towels, blankets and apparel. experience our 100% american made luxury linens for yourself. go to red line cotton dot com and receive 15% off your order with code fox news.

>> bill: in new jersey they have recovered the body of a kindergarten teacher missing since last weekend. a 33-year-old mother of three. what they are calling a shallow grave in jersey city. the state regional medical

examiner's office conducting an autopsy. anyone with information are encouraged to contact the prosecutors office. they are looking for leads and clues. if you have one, give them a call now in new jersey. >> dana: labor department watchdog revealing the scope of covid pandemic relief fraud and the amount is stunning. $191 billion is believed to have been misspent. more than the total economic output of nearly half the states. guess what? you are picking up the tab. gillian turner live in washington with the details. what do people need to know? >> we're picking up the tab, too. nearly 200 billion of taxpayer money intended as unemployment benefits americans without jobs was either misspent or stolen during the pandemic. republicans say it's the greatest theft of american

taxpayer dollars in history. jason smith says republicans are back if power now and turning on the lights. >> republicans raised the alarm about fraud based on red flags from the department of labor's inspector general and secret service. as the evidence of fraud escalated, i'm sorry to say democrats continued to turn a blind eye. they ignored two requests from house republicans on this committee to hold an oversight hearing just like the one today. >> the ways and means committee reveals thieves stole as much as half of the 878 billion taxpayer dollars spent on unemployment insurance alone during the pandemic. this means 20% of taxpayer dollars were misspent. the scale of fraud is so enormous president biden highlighted it during the state of the union. listen. >> president biden: now let's triple the anti-fraud strike force going after the criminals. double the statue of limitations

and crack down on identity fraud from criminal signed -- every dollar we put into fighting fraud taxpayers get back ten times as much. >> house oversight chair james comer says it's all the fault of democratic leadership in the previous commerce. >> investigated an nfl football team and examining pet, flea and tick collars. >> he hosted a hearing on this last week where witnesses revealed $5 trillion were doled out inappropriately during covid. president biden now says spending more to beef up anti-fraud units is the best way forward. >> dana: it has to happen. we know an a emergency will happen in the future and we need to be better protected. thanks, gillian. >> president biden: instead of making the wealthy pay their

fair share some republicans want medicare and social security to sunset. i'm not saying it's the majority. >> bill: wow. some reaction there. doubling down on that debunked claim that republicans want to end medicare and social security. president calling out my next guest by name yesterday when he was on the road in wisconsin. that man is florida senator rick scott. good morning to you. thank you for joining our program today. you are in the middle of this from the beginning. clarify what your idea was. it wasn't just medicare or social security. you wanted to look at everything as a businessman that's probably where you are coming from. >> i did it as governor. you do it in business all the time. you go back and look. if you did something did it work? i said in my plan go to rescue america.com let's look at every program a lot of five years. a lot of programs we shouldn't be doing. we do it with the defense budget every year. we don't pass a 20 year defense budget. we do it every year pass the

national defense authorization act. tell the american public how to preserve medicare and social security. biden is a hypocrite. he wants to say republicans want to cut medicare and social security. i never will do that. i won't cut benefits. joe biden proposed a bill when he was in the senate to sunset everything and i don't know if you've seen the quote. when i argued we should freeze federal spending social security and medicare, medicaid, veterans benefits. every single thing in the government. that's what joe biden said. he is a hypocrite. >> bill: that was 28 years ago. we have something to remind you of that. he said tuesday night anyone who doubts it contact my office and i will give you a copy of the proposal. is that true or a lie? >> i hope he gives everybody a copy. you can do it online. go to rescue america.com and look at it. i put out my ideas. everybody ought to. i want to make sure we balance

this budget and preserve medicare and social security. if we keep going down the path we're going down where we run in big deficits there is no federal program we will be able to preserve. i want to preserve all the safety nets our american sits stens care about. >> it is a lie. the guy has been lying the whole time. i've called him a liar. he is coming to florida and i will be in florida tonight. i put an ad up saying here is -- not only is he lying he didn't pay his medicare taxes on his income after he was vice president. he used a loophole to not even pay his medicare taxes. this guy is a complete hypocrite. >> bill: you talked about 1995. i believe that was your reference. here is the clip from back then, senator biden. >> when i argued we should freeze federal spending i meant

social security as well. i meant medicare and medicaid. i meant veterans benefits and every single solitary thing in the government. and i not only tried it once, i tried it twice, i tried it a third and fourth time. >> bill: that kind of sounds like what you are asking for now. >> what a hypocrite. maybe he doesn't remember what he said before. he had a bill to sunset everything. he tried. he tried for years to do it. then he wants to accuse republican. i don't know one republican that wants to reduce social security and medicare benefits. we want a balanced budget and i will fight like hell to do that. >> bill: how is your relationship with senator mitch mcconnell? >> i work with all the republican senators and some of the democrat senators and hard to represent my state. i tell everybody i will represent the state of florida. that's what i got elected to do. you can vote any way you want, i

will vote for the citizens of florida. >> bill: are you call with each other and talking? >> he just kicked me off a committee. so that was pretty petty. >> bill: commerce committee. you are on other committees, right? >> i'm on armed services, homeland security. i've been on the committee for four years, ran the biggest business anybody who served in the senate. governor of the third biggest state in the country, third biggest economy in the country and i got kicked off of commerce. i have a relationship with ted cruz. i will work on commerce on the issues i care about. >> bill: the relationship not cool with each other, am i right? >> i will keep doing my job. >> bill: senator, thank you for coming on today and we'll stay in contact. rick scott from florida. thank you. >> dana: possible clue in a new jersey murder mystery. will this surveillance video

help find the suspect who shot and killed a republican congresswoman? the fight over less oniplans. >> we're faced with learning loss and school closures and pry toreization after activism. school system determined to view parents as the enemy.

>> bill: police looking for answers in the murder of a new jersey councilwoman. she was shot and killed outside her home in sayerville, new jersey last week. there is new video showing some sort of shadowy figure running around her apartment complex around the time she was killed. on the story for us alexis mcadams. >> this could be a key piece of evidence. this morning two new jersey council members are dead killed in separate shootings in the

last week. the new surveillance video could be quick. a person running near her home in sayerville, new jersey. police say the shadowy figure ran by moments after the woman was shot and killed last week. she was found dead in her car outside her own townhouse. neighbors say they heard nearly a dozen gunshots. at memorial service last night in the town just 35 miles outside of new york city, the community remembered the young mom and politician who they said had a bright future. she was originally from ghana, first black woman elected in that small town. >> her smile, it represented an invitation, an invitation to be seen, to be heard. >> everyone is grieving and mourning for this loss of life. >> just hours before that memorial a councilman russell

heller was shot and killed yesterday gunned down in a parking lot of a new jersey power company where he worked as a supervisor. this gunman, a former employee, who shot him and later killed himself. it was targeted. they are not saying these are related. all eyes are on the surveillance clip that we'll play one more time as investigators are trying to catch the killer of the councilwoman. they hope someone has some evidence. >> it was a sad situation. >> dana: tough for the community to deal with that. really appreciate it. democrats on a house panel accusing republicans of turning classrooms into a focus of nationwide culture wars. but the republicans on the committee pushed right back pointing out how school closures during the covid pandemic hurt our nation's kids. >> covid shined a bright light on education in this country and

certainly very bright light on the parents and their choices of what the best educational environment would be like for their children. >> it is timely we're doing this. we're waking up and we do what we do best. we'll win, bring our kids back and have them believe in the american dream. >> dana: you were there yesterday. play something in case people didn't see it. you were there. democrat representative bobby scott had this to say. >> in recent years republican politicians have turned our students' classroom into the epicenter of culture wars. instead of working with democrats to address the wheel issues in schools and institutions republican lawmakers are prioritizing culture wars and investigations. >> dana: how did you see yesterday's hearing? >> it was an interesting three plus hours of questioning largely from the democrats that seemed to imply that parents

concerns about learning loss and school closures, about the ways that districts spent or haven't spent their $190 billion in emergency covid funding, those aren't real. they chose to paint me as an extremist. i was called an extremist and they seemed to imply that these concerns are unfounded and not happening. of course parents are concerned about these things and they are also concerned about classrooms where teachers are focusing on indoctrination rather than academics and those concerns should not have been dismissed yesterday. >> dana: we were talking about what has happened to children since covid and here is president biden at the state of the union address on tuesday night. >> president biden: two years ago, covid had shut down our businesses closed, schools were robbed of so much and today covid no longer controls our

lives. >> dana: so how much did the members of congress understand what you've been witnessing, which is the extreme learning loss that happened across our country? >> i would like to say there was a universal acceptance of the reality that we're in a literacy and math crisis. that members of congress understood that when those nations report card scores came out and revealed historic losses, that showed that only 25% of math scores for eighth graders were showing proficient eighth graders, eighth graders that know how to do math. 25%. they understand that's a crisis. that was not conveyed yesterday across the board. there were serious conversations about workforce education and that was a bipartisan thing. something about k-12 brings out a partisan and very dismissive

attitude and that needs to stop. this needs to be a bipartisan focused effort to address our learning loss crisis. >> dana: do you know how to make it so? what would you suggest they do? >> i was asked a number of times what the committee could do. they need to shine the light on school distryptase and states that spent their covid emergency funding wisely. let's focus on what has been done well when you talk about after school tutoring and >> dana: do you have an example of something you thought went well. >> the governor from colorado was there and gave a number of great examples that colorado is doing. watch the hearing and faint out what colorado has been doing. other states line tennessee who invested their funding in tutoring in an effective way. let's keep an eye on that and recognize that the committee and states can expand education freedom and empower families to leave the school districts failing to educate their child.

>> dana: you had a big job yesterday and got up with us this morning and we appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: from capitol hill right now. the house debating the resolution whether or not to condemn china over this chinese spy flight. they received a full house briefing around 7:30 this morning. so they knew more about this now than any of us clearly do and they know more about this now than they did before. then the senate was set to get a hearing after that. in the senate foreign relations committee they are holding a hearing on china after the house was briefed there. so will this resolution pass? it will, i would guess. not a get ahead of it. i would venture to say it's in the affirmative. >> dana: you might get a bipartisan action on capitol hill today. the biden administration should hope so.

beating his wife, anna, with the intent to murder her. investigators are trying to locate her remains. that hasn't happened yet. let's bring in jonna spilbor criminal defense attorney. why are they going to delay? >> the prosecution wants more time to gather evidence to make sure there is probable cause to keep him in jail. what's unusual about this case is his attorney, i believe with the public defender's office is giving them a few weeks to do that. ordinarily when you have a defendant behind bars with charges pending, you want to hold the prosecution's feet to the fire. if they can't produce the evidence your client gets sprung. because his attorney is allowing it, i'm guessing she is focused on winning the war instead of winning the battle. brian walshe's case is unusual. he is a mouse in a maze with no cheese. no matter where he goes he will stay behind bars because he has a $5 hundred thousand bail on a previous charge in this case, a

low-level lying to the police. $5 hundred thousand on that and awaiting sentencing on a federal fraud case where he could do at least 2 1/2 years likely 2 1/2 years. >> bill: let's talk about the state's evidence. they allege he bought $450 worth of cleaning supplies, a knife with blood found in the home in the basement. items found doing a search at a transfer station in pennsylvania in the garbage. they indicate his internet record shows the searches. two things that popped up on my radar earlier today. they have surveillance of video tossing heavy bags into a dumpster in massachusetts north of boston. his mom lives there. they claim that they have bloodstains and cleaning equipment, peabody. a hacksaw, a hatchet and they are able to get this stuff. that would appear to be pretty

damning. >> he is damning to proved -- he has 20 searches how to dispose of a body on his kid's ipod. not how to commit murder. we don't know how ana walshe died. maybe it was self-defense, maybe something else happened. we can't go from where he is right now to murder without more. that's going to be a challenge for the prosecution even though we say he must have killed her but legally speaking no body so no manner, no cause of death. >> dana: it is good that you remind us of that. you could look at this and say, a court has to decide and a jury

will decide. he will sit behind for the next few weeks at least. >> bill: a member of an infamous tv family breaking free from a cult-like upbringing. >> i had such a sweet childhood and at the same time i see i didn't know why i was struggling. it was based on fear, superstition, manipulation and control and i needed to be free from those things. >> ginger duggar is live to explain her journey to freedom. ♪ if your business kept on employees through the pandemic, getrefunds.com can see if it may qualify for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee, even if it received ppp, and all it takes is eight minutes to get started. then we'll work with you to fill out your forms

in thinking that or are there more people that follow these teachings that are starting to realize this is not what christianity is meant to be? >> yeah, it is really hard to say. i think there are so many devout followers of him but with those type of allegations it is so heartbreaking to see how you could still follow the teachings and say this a prophet from god. that's why i wanted to speak up and share my story and hopefully expose these teachings for what they are. >> dana: how old were you, beg ginger, when the show started? i was ten years old. >> dana: your brother is in prison right now. do you have any communication with him? >> i haven't spoken to him in years. i pray he would truly be broken over what he has done and

grateful justice is being served. >> dana: what is your relationship like with your other siblings and parents now? >> yeah, it's been interesting. we've had lots of conversations about our differences. some received it better than others for sure but at the end of the day i know they just want what's best for me even though my parents are still in iblt. i hope they could read this book and see why i think it is needful to come out of that. >> dana: writing a book is a lot of work and this one took a lot of courage which you have in droves. you are a bright light. thank you for coming on the show today. wish you the best. thanks. >> thank you. >> bill: only days after opting to leave new york city to canada several migrants have decided to come back to new york. one of them citing lots of snow. "new york post" reported that migrants seeking to leave the

city are getting free taxpayer funded bus tickets out of town. >> dana: i chuckle a bit. it is cold there and i can understand like wait, new york is a great city and we want to go back there. it is no way to run an immigration system. the biden administration dedicated more time to the fees -- resort fees. it isn't even -- than he did on immigration and that's unfortunate. >> bill: got a couple of things for you before we go. boom, big game on sunday. dana can't wait. pre-game history for the first time the pre-game fly over features all women pilots in arizona. i was johnny on the spot in kansas city. we came out losers on the short end. it was good, right, pre-game? i just poured out of my pocket and caught it. >> dana: i had to give you a

hard time. >> bill: "america's newsroom" is going back on the road and be in arizona over the weekend. have a lot of reports over the weekend. monday morning we're live post super bowl. then tuesdays we're going to the border in yuma, arizona. there is some interesting things happening in yuma with regard to the border and immigration. we'll bring it to you tuesday morning. >> dana: have a great time. harris faulkner is next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. jarring new information on how huge china's spacecraft program, a whole program, really is. five continents, 40 countries are seeing balloons like we saw in our skies and the federal government slow rolled a briefing on the vessel that was in our skies for more than a week. members of congress are finally getting some info. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." intelligence, defense and state department officials right now briefing all
