communication. john tester had a straight-up take on all this during yesterday's hearing. >> what china did last week was completely unacceptable and a real threat to american sovereignty. china is a real threat and one we need to take seriously. this administration owes americans answers what happened last week but what steps they will take to insure it never happens again. >> dana: as we learn more about the chinese spy craft there is widespread agreement on the need to stop any future incursions by china. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is live on capitol hill. a busy week there, chad. the spy craft has added a whole other level of interest and possibly i want to get your take is there some bipartisan concern here? >> absolutely. they are concerned about what the chinese were doing here. the chinese were certainly

dialed in they were listening in and american officials believe the spy balloon was tuned into u.s. conversations. president biden is down playing the entire episode. >> president biden: it is not a measurable breach. it is a violation of national law. or airspace. we can do what we want with it once it's there. >> the balloon had multiple antenna to eavesdrop and soak up information. the government wants to know exactly what the chinese heard. >> until we actually have the hardware that was on that balloon we can't say for sure. we can take educated guesses of it. we can't know for sure. that's why we should have shot it down as soon as it was approaching alaska, china should not be able to send air ships into our airspace. >> upset lawmakers pressed officials about what the balloon was doing and why the u.s. held off for so long before shooting down the balloon. >> you can just say yes or no.

you don't need to get into specifics. did we know what they were trying to collect, yes or no? >> yes, we understand. it is part of a broader suite of operations that china is undertaking. >> we knew what they were looking for? >> i think we should talk about this more explicitly in the classified session. >> u.s. officials are trying to look at the wreckage to figure out what the chinese were up to but they determined it had western parts with english writing and understood the manufacturer of the balloon has a direct relationship with beijing. >> dana: chad pergram on capitol hill. thank you. >> president biden: look, i know that a lot of republicans, their dream is to cut social security and medicare. let me say this. if that is your dream, i'm your nightmare. >> mike: president biden blasting republicans claiming that the g.o.p. wants to cut

those popular safety net programs. mark meredith is live at the white house with more. hi, mark. >> good morning. president biden appears ready to rumble when it comes to the debate over the future of social security and medicare as you were showing. he mentioned it multiple times this week. republicans insist this is all about politics, not substance. the president was down in tampa, florida yesterday. his second stop in a battleground state this week alone. during a speech in tampa the president repeatedly attacked florida senator rick scott up for re-election next year. the president claims senator scott wants to cut both programs after he introduced a plan to sunset legislation every five years. >> president biden: maybe he changed his mind and seen the lord but meaning if you don't reauthorize it, it goes away. sunset social security and medicare every five years. >> the senator says he has no plans to cut either program. he is accusing president biden of twisting his words and

promoting similar plans decades ago when biden was serving in the senate. scott is ready to battle on this very issue tweeting if they think they can shut up or intimidate me by lying. i'm ready to go and i will not be silenced by the washington establishment. the issue the white house views it can gain ground with polls showing the president underwater with democratic voters and voters nationwide. dnc says it will keep raising this issue going into the next election. they say every 2024 republican including trump will have to answer to cut the programs that millions rely that. that's a contrast we welcome. the dnc says they'll make it an issue going to 2024. the next election the president didn't interview with telemundo. he says he is still thinking about it. we are looking for hints when he meets with a number of governors

at the white house later on today. mike. >> mike: political season. mark meredith on the north lawn. >> dana: next guest joining us is shannon bream, the anchor of "fox news sunday" in arizona getting ready for super bowl sunday and it will be live from there. an early morning, i have to tell you. i want to get your take on this. crime strassel from the "wall street journal." biden takes aim at desantis. the white house has figured out two things. they want to go after republicans at large across the board on social security and medicare. they feel like they have an issue and they will run that into the ground. but they also are watching governor desantis because people assume that he might throw his hat in the ring for president and want to try to take him out early on. what is your understanding of all this. >> yeah, dana and mike, great to see you here from a little chilly glendale, arizona this morning. on that issue first of all, with

social security and medicare republicans are like you won't take yes for an answer. we told you it is not on the table. we won't negotiate over it and not on the chopping block in the debt ceiling conversation but a good talking point for the president as he took it on the road in tampa. the white house will use it even though republicans have said and president came away from the state of the union look at that. i negotiated this out of the deal on tuesday night at the state of the union and then hammers on it again. so it is very much a talking point as both sides do. this time the white house that's doing that. interesting i thought the piece was interesting looking how they try to go after governor desantis. a lot of folks say he feels like he is in a good position and let others stir up the waters and go when he is ready. he just got reelected to governor in florida. he is the kind of person that will want to have this conversation. the social security trustees tell us in 10 to 13 years it will be insolvent.

automatic cuts kick in. do folks want that to happen or have a conversation based in reality what we have to do. desantis would welcome that conversation with the white house. >> mike: you are a florida gal. striking to me that president biden was in the great state of florida where he could take aim at governor desantis and another famous resident, former president trump. democrats would love to have florida in play in the next election cycle. it has been red in recent cycles. >> oh yeah. we all know that was the best story for republicans on mid-term night of 2022. desantis commanding nearly 20-point win. house seats flipped to republicans, too. it looked very red on mid-term election night. interesting, though, will it be a situation where you have president biden if he gets in officially, former president trump is in officially. if the two of them are taking shots at desantis. those who guys going after someone they see as a potent foe

for them potentially in 2024 in gov for desantis. he will take it from all sides. people after those numbers he put up on mid-term election night very much see him as a 24 threat. >> dana: let's talk about that in terms of taking it from both sides. republicans are on record and will oppose president biden if he runs for re-election in 2024. i don't know if they anticipated this at the white house. here is two headlines from "the new york times" this week from democrats and liberals, progressives saying one, we're not being cruel, president biden just careful telling him he is too old to run again. another one biden is a great president, he should not run again. a quote from rooney's speech. it took him forever to reach the top and perhaps the most compelling part of his political story, patience and perseverance and resilience. now that he stands at the summit we're telling him not to get to save or the view for too long. here is the thing, shannon, the a.p. poll that came out said

support for biden run in 2024 overall yet only at 22% and for democrats only 37%. you were with the president this week at the white house before the state of the union. he hasn't announced if he will run again. it seems like he is getting the pieces in place to do so. however, even the democrats say they don't want him to run. >> yeah, these are tough numbers for the white house and they come on the back of a slough of other polls that say the same thing. even his own party wants to go younger and do something different. i got the impression on tuesday he hasn't made a decision. i though tea to this point they had done everything that would put the pieces in place moving in that direction and he may do it. the people out their publicly calling on him to step aside and not do this need to remember the playbook of what happened when they did it with justice ginsburg. if anything, she dug in and said

this is my job. this is my position. i feel very much at strength in this position, mentally and physically. i will stick around as long as i can. the more you publicly goad this president the more you may push him to decide to run in 2024. that's a sense i get of him. >> mike: makes you wonder who can say mr. president they aren't that into you? i guess we'll see. >> dana: who do you have coming up on fox news sunday. >> we'll talk with katie hobbs, pulled out a narrow win here and now dealing with issues that everybody is dealing with across the country. many of these governors, the border, education choice and debt ceiling. we'll talk to her about that and the nfl fox sports analyst with us. michael, howie, the coach, terry. the panel to tackle the politics of the day includes the one and

only bill hemmer and clay travis to break down the hottest stories of the week and one more plug, a doctor one of my favorite players to come through florida state. he was a rhodes scholar played in the nfl and a neurosurgeon. he is inspiring and a great message how we can all do better in our own lives. >> dana: i look forward to that report as we've been talking about it for a while. thank you. >> mike: see you sunday. >> dana: suspect is behind bars in the death of a beloved kindergarten teacher whose body was found in a shallow grave. >> mike: the biden administration unveiling new information about china's surveillance of the united states. a spying program far more extensive than previous thought. >> my question is if we waited to shoot this one down over water why didn't we shoot the last ones down over water?

those who knew her mourn her loss. a candlelight voyage it was held at her home. she was reported missing by school where she worked. cops made a welfare check at the home and information led them to a shallow grave in a nearby town. her death was a homicide resulting from blunt force trauma to the head and compressions to the neck. the hudson county prosecutors office tweeted out an arrest has been made in connection with the death investigation of hernandez. more to follow. according to her sister on sunday the mother of three left her three young children with their father. the couple although separated reportedly still lived in the same home. she says hernandez has not been seen since the weekend. >> she was a sister, a mother, a daughter. the best mother in the world, her kids can't live without her and i will never be able to fill

nato supreme allied commander. very good to have you here today, commander. can we get your general take as what you think has happened over the past week? balloon was shot down last weekend and we had a series of hearings this week. members of congress seem very unsatisfied, a bipartisan position. >> yes. dana first thanks for having me on and i think that every day we are learning a few more details. what we really need to understand is from the beginning, when did we first see it? how did we characterize it? who was informed? how were decisions made? there were some pretty important policy implications of what just happened and we need to know is this the position that we are going to take on future spy balloons? >> dana: here was president biden last night with an interview with telemundo and he was asked about it. >> president biden: the total

amount of intelligence gathering -- [speaking spanish] >> dana: i don't know if you could read the words. the president said that it was not a major breach and he is trying to basically push this off the front page of the paper. do you think it was not a major breach? >> well, certainly they have satellites that can collect some of this data. we'll never know, possibly, because of the damage caused in the water or whatever exactly what was collected, but the fact -- i think the really important part of this is the policy piece. are we going to allow these to investigate in our airspace in

the future? or are we going to eliminate them before they enter our airspace? and do we have the necessary sensor capability to target, if required, in the future? >> dana: listen to senator tom cotton on prime time last night. >> i think they were shocked in beijing. joe biden was paralyzed by a balloon all week long. meanwhile the chinese communists were laughing at america. >> dana: what do you think happened in regards to the chinese? do you think it was a miscommunication amongst them over there in beijing? did they do this intentionally or are they embarrassed? they keep telling their citizens it was a balloon to collect weather information. >> so it's very hard for me to find that they would be surprised or that they didn't make this decision at the highest levels. they flew a balloon purposely

into u.s. airspace at an altitude that there was no chance it was going to be missed. i the end to fall on the other side of that. i think we were being tested and now the chinese are learning from that testing. >> dana: what do you think they learned? >> they learned that we will allow the balloon to fly across america and i'm not sure that's where we want to be in the future. >> dana: thank you, general. let's stay in touch on it. >> thank you. >> dana: take care. >> mike: despite promises from close allies desperately needed tanks are not arriving in ukraine. a surge of violent crime involving teenagers, what is fueling it?

weapons during a visit to europe. ukraine officials say troops need them now more than ever a russia is ramping up missile attacks across the country. trey yengst is live in kiev. we know that russia has this assault coming and ukraine is saying we don't have the weapons. what does it look like today? >> absolutely. good morning. today russia launched a widespread missile attack against ukraine targeting multiple cities and sending civilians to bombshell tears. children gather for school beneath the streets of kiev. they continue with lessons as cruise missiles target the city above. it is not quite comfortable for the children. a teacher says. for such a long time since september the alarms were frequent and children got used to such work. today more than 70 russian missiles were fired at ukrainian

cities. most shot down but those that slipped through air defense systems hit power facilities in six different regions. ukraine's energy minister say millions is without electricity across most of the country. the russian attack comes hours after president zelensky returned home from a multi-country tour of europe. yesterday in an address to the e.u. parliament zelensky expressed hope his country would receive western combat planes and long range missiles to defend against the russian invasion. >> i am very grateful, he explained. i've heard from some european leaders about the read enes to give us the necessary weapons, including aircraft. >> his remarks come as troops in the eastern part of this country continue to face heavy russian bombardment. officials in kiev warn of increased fighting ahead of the war's one year mark and as we've seen in recent days things are escalating and with just two

weeks away official eaves in the capital of kiev expect to be bracing for more attacks. >> dana: every indication is that that is the case. stay safe and keep us posted. thank you. >> the rise in violent crime involving teenagers making headlines across the country. some are saying a result of the defund the police movement. here to talk about it is lawrence jones host of "cross-country." great to see you. you were out speaking with teenagers in philadelphia. let's give folks at home a sample. >> for me it's like i definitely am working on egg shells. it is not just me. i have family and siblings that go to school around here and it's kind of like wow, anything could happen at any moment. >> how many families are depending on you to make it out? >> the pressure is -- i like it. i embrace it.

take it in and show they can depend on me. >> dana: wow, lawrence. >> part of the reason why i wanted to do this. i wanted young people to know they do matter. i see what's happening crossing the country. so often i've been having conversations and we as broadcasters talk with the parents impacted by the violence on the street and the crime. but no one is really talking to the kids to figure out what exactly is going on. you know, there is all these gangs and all this. i wanted to talk with the young people about that. what is happening. are the gangs showing up after school to recruit you guys? >> you don't get it. it is every block. every block has their own leadership. by default you have to join if you want to survive in these communities. you can have a cousin on one block and a cousin on the other one and blood relatives and hate each other because of the block you live on. you don't have a choice. a lot of young people were

athletes. the reason why we feel we're walking on egg shells. at school or straight home. anything in between the two you are at risk of losing your life. it is a sad crisis now. >> dana: i'm so glad you went and did that. it will be on tomorrow night on your show. a couple of statistics. we talk about this but want to give you a picture. philadelphia shooting victims age 17 and under right now in 2022 is 216. that's a lot of young lives. a lot of grief that goes along with that. call for number three is deadly shootings committed by those under age 18 and in 2022, 30, that is a lot of lives then if they are caught and prosecuted. those lives are changed forever as well. >> the point i was trying to make in this package there is a philly in every single state. we have abandoned our major cities and said the defund -- used to be just reform your life. instead we create an environment where violence is okay and it

only -- a lot of times these young people, they go to them. the gangs go to them because of the juvenile justice laws. if you let a young person do it, it is not the same punishment. these young people deserve better. they deserve public safety. they shouldn't be pressured to have to join a gang. it doesn't seem like a lot of people are speaking for them. we cover these stories on fox a lot and part of why we're doing this series. but someone has to speak for their education. families are depending on them and something i can are he late to. being the one that makes it out. a lot of them have both of their parents in the household. imagine the kids that don't have both of their parents. one girl that was in the crowd and one man were in the crowd said they didn't have parents. the reason they lost their parents was to gun violence on the street. it shows you what the young people are dealing with. >> mike: did they express hope?

>> they express hope in themselves if they can just make it out. there are a lot of kids that don't make it out. >> dana: what about the local leadership? we're mad about it. where is the -- is there outrage and a movement? is it the lack of prosecutions? >> dana, i think there are small group of people in the justice reform -- not really reform community, that put so many pressure on these mayors as well as d.a.s, they get the majority of the time. there is not really any advocates saying public safety that are part of the liberal progressive movement. as a result, these young people, their lives don't matter at that point. someone is doing it and oftentimes it's repeat offenders. what do you say to these kids? last week we talked about the family. these kids have great families that are pushing them to go to school every day and athletes and their life is still in

danger. >> dana: and to live your life walking on egg shells that crushed me. i will look forward to watching your program. you will be on "the five", wow. >> yes. >> dana: good to have you, thank you. next on this alec baldwin is facing new legal challenges as he fights manslaughter charges over the deadly rush shooting. details on the lawsuit filed by family members plus an update on the alex murdaugh double murder trial after his best friend goes back to the stand. >> did he confess that those who were close to him, no one knew. >> he confessed things i didn't know. >> you had no idea about any of that? >> no, sir. of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that.

smith testified monday the defendant suggested to her that she tell people that he had visited his ailing mother for a longer time than he actually did the night his son paul and wife maggie were fatally shot. prior to the murders tinsley had filed a lawsuit against alex murdaugh on behalf of the family of 19-year-old mallory beach who died in a boat accident allegedly caused by paul while intoxicated and underage. he compelled murdaugh to turn over his financial records after the defendant claimed he was broke. the court present viewed tinsley's testimony. buster raised eyebrows he bit the nail of his middle finger for an extended period of time. the murdaugh family was instructed to move back from their front row seat in the courtroom after improperly touching, talking and transferring items to the defendant. >> alex seemed to have free rein

in this courtroom chewing sunflower seeds and gum and eating at the table, conversing with his family. i think the court personnel finally said enough is enough. >> court source tells fox news that several members of the murdaugh family have been warned but would not go into further details. dana. >> dana: jonathan serrie on that trial. thank you. >> mike: two countries russia and iran are looking at a drone facility. >> adversaries are strengthening relationships over the war in ukraine and analysts warn this could create major problems for the united states and allies. the russian and rareian governments plan to build a fact re in russia to produce at least 6,000 drones to attack ukraine.

according to a report in the "wall street journal." iran has already given the russian military hundreds of drones that have destroyed targets, military and civilian, across ukraine. >> there is no such thing as just the iranian threat or just the russian threat. they are more connected and more problematic. as exhibited by the proliferation problem they'll cause more chaos, mayhem and death. >> the weapons group conflict armament research just released a report analyzing an unexploded iranian drone found in ukraine. the war head was designed to insure maximum damage to critical infrastructure while making it difficult to repair quickly. earlier this month c.i.a. director bill burns said when he was recently in ukraine for 30 hours, he spent six of them in a bombshell tear because of russian strikes with iranian drones, the kind the russians use to kill civilians there. yesterday russian president

vladimir putin said local drone manufacturing is of extreme importance. iran and russia have yet to break ground on the drone facilities. they are deepening financial ties as both are under heavy sanctions from the west. >> mike: thanks very much. look at this. tennis player in france going on an absolute tirade smashing three rackets in frustration amid a chorus of boos. he is known as the sod father, others call him the sultan of sod. he has overseen field treppes for all 57 super bowls. this sunday will be his final game. he joins us next. who's on it with jardiance? ♪ ♪

forgiveness to the masses. >> he gets us is focused on what we prefer to as spiritually open skeptics. >> it will have a huge kickoff with the biggest ad spend yet at the super bowl. two ads, one in each half of the game funded by 50 christian individuals and companies including hobby lobby. more than 100 million plus viewers. it is rare for a super bowl ad to be religious. reactions were mixed. the most insane jesus commercial. another corporation using jesus to further their agenda twisting the bible for propaganda. >> not everybody loves chips or that particular lite beer. that's okay. there is an audience for it and we are offering the brand up in a very respectful way to everybody that sees the game. >> some christians have
