in 2007 in the country of portugal. her parents agreed to a dna test for that. high winds, heavy snow slamming the west. massive winter storm moving across the u.s. northern states expecting blizzard conditions and in the midwest and northeast getting ready for what could be a lot of ice coming their way. more on that story throughout the hour on this wednesday morning. dana. >> dana: first big tech on trial. the u.s. supreme court today hearing a case against twitter claiming the online platform was aiding and abetting terrorism by allowing isis to post content online. a big case and we'll follow it. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. high court interesting story. considering two big cases involving liability and immunity for social media companies. talking about twitter and google, youtube. it is a case involving a terrorist attack in istanbul six

years ago. yesterday the court considered claims that google allowed isis to post hundreds of videos online aimed at inciting violence and algorithms helped isis recruit efforts along the way. the audio of some of those deliberations inside the high court. >> the thumb nails is based upon what the all going if -- if >> the videos don't appear out of thin air. they must be targeted to something. >> dana: more on all this we're live in washington. david spunt. >> it's getting underway right now. yesterday justice kagan asked the question to laughter in the courtroom should these nine justices be wading into the waters saying they may not be the best people to understand the internet. today's case focused on liability. can twitter be held liable by the families of terror victims.

the second big case involving big tech before the court this week. family of a man killed in an isis attack in turkey in 2017 sued twitter, google and facebook arguing the platforms posted terrorist videos on their sites helping to spread propaganda. justices must decide how much responsibility if any social media company should bear for the content posted online. yesterday's case focused on section 230 of the 1996 communications decency act which shields social media companies or gives those companies immunity from lawsuits based on what is posted and shared on third party web sights and platforms. america college student 23-year-old was killed visiting paris in an isis attack and her family sued google, facebook and twitter in 2016 arguing the three recommended extremist content from isis-related groups. >> i think something good is coming out from this.

we are seeking for justice. >> that was her mother. proponents of section 230 say the tech companies should have immunity. if they don't the companies will panic and take down more content to avoid lawsuits and it will effect the doctrine of free speech. >> that's wonderful thing about the free market we've been discussing. if you don't like what a website is doing, you just pick up and go somewhere else. >> yesterday's case in a nut schell was about getting in the door immunity. can you get in the door to the court? today is about once in the door, in the courtroom, can these companies actually be found liable? decisions in both cases are expected by the end of june. back to you. >> dana: really big deal. thank you. >> bill: jonathan turley. listening to these arguments. law professor. what's at stake in those cases coming up later this hour. >> dana: conservative entrepreneur fighting woke policies and laying out a vision for american excellence.

now vivek ramaswamy is setting his sights on the white house. >> i'm announcing my run for president of the united states. this isn't just a political campaign. this is a cultural movement to create a new american dream for the next generation. >> dana: we have a senior correspondent for axios. the democrats said in a statement as vivek uses tucker carlson's show to announce his campaign for president one thing is clear. the race for the maga base is getting messier and more crowded by the day. we already have nikki haley, we have a declared candidates and others are tiptoeing around new hampshire and iowa. what do you think? >> the issue that vivek ramaswamy is talking about isn't just a base issue. we've learned with the republican party's focus on education over the last few years it's an issue that energizes the base but wins a lot of swing voters in states

like virginia and in florida with ron desantis's re-election campaign. this is an issue one of the few issues these days that energizes the republican base and can win over some independent swing voters. the challenge for ramaswamy is that almost every republican presidential candidate or potential candidate is talking about the issue of wokeness and the excesses of the progressive left. so there always have been room historically for ideas centered candidates to have some traction. remember andrew yang in the democratic primary in 2020 on universal basic income and you had steve forbes on the flat tax. room for candidates to run on an idea and get a lot of momentum. the challenge for ramaswamy is a lot of other republicans, especially ron desantis are talking about many of the same issues he has put into the public domain. >> bill: i mentioned the video he put out.

one of his most effective lines you believe in american ideas and assume your neighbor does, too, you don't want to ask him about it because you're too afraid to talk about it in public. that's what the woke culture has done to get its tentacles into the brains of so many americans. quick comment. >> i talked to ramaswamy yesterday before he made the announcement and he is convinced and has a lot of polling data to back it up that the issues that he is talking about are not 50/50 issues dividing the country but silent majority types of issues that 65, 70% of americans can agree on. that's essentially his big political bet. these are not just culture war issues. these are not just issues that divide the parties. these are universal american issues that when push comes to shove moderate democrats, moderate republicans and conservatives alike can agree on and build a movement behind it. >> dana: nikki haley was talking a little bit about ron desantis

and education reforms that he has attempted on gender issues in florida. listen to her here. >> with all this talk about the florida bill, the don't say gay bill. what it said was you shouldn't be able to talk about gender before third grade. i'm sorry, i don't think that goes far enough. when i was in school, you didn't have sex education until seventh grade and even then your parents had to sign whether you could take the class. that's a decision for parents to make. >> dana: game that out for us on the republican side. how do these issues and talking about them end up? >> this is an issue, the broader issue of what is appropriate for kids to learn in school. parental rights in the classroom and how much say the parents should have in what their kids are learning. that's an issue that is driving a lot of momentum in the republican presidential race. the simple fact that you have nikki haley trying to get to the

right essentially of ron desantis shows how potent this issue is politically. look, desantis, the advantage ron desantis has is he has been governor and accomplished quite a bit of success in terms of his record in getting things changed in the public school system and also to a different extent in the public university system in tackling wokeness and gender identity with the bills he has passed if florida. so i think the desantis advantage is he has actually done things. a lot of the other republicans match his rhetoric and saying the same things but only desantis has the clear record in florida. >> bill: interesting primary. that's for sure. >> dana: here we go. buckle up, america. >> bill: 18 past. more cities and counties considering reparations programs using pandemic money to pay out recipients. critics are saying that spending could add up to the nation $31 trillion debt add to it.

grady trimble with fox business has more from the hill on this. what did you find out? >> our researchers found that at least ten cities, counties and states have recently considered some sort of reparations programs. of those ten, at least two of them are proposing using federal taxpayer dollars from the american rescue plan to fund them. providence, rhode island and shelby county, tennessee including memphis. shelby county wants to use $5 million in pandemic relief money to study the possibility of a longer-term reparations program. in a statement to fox business he defends that use arguing it addresses the negative impacts of the pandemic to include assistance to households and communities while promoting affordable housing, assistance to small businesses, aid to impacted industries, addressing health and educational

disparities and uses to support public sector and workforce. but some in congress say using federal tax dollars for reparations is misspending taxpayer money. >> there are wide disagreements on this topic. to use pandemic spending on something that congress did not vote for and approve for for local altos to say they'll repurpose the funds for this, to me it's outrageous. that should not occur. >> congressman donalds tells me that money should come back to the federal government, bill, to help it pay down its debts. >> bill: wow. that's clever. grady trimble watching that on the hill today. nice to see you. thanks. >> you have to talk to your kids and tell them they can't ever be sure about anything that they get from another friend or a friend of a friend. you don't know.

you just don't know. >> dana: urgent warning from the heartbroken mother of a teenager killed by fentanyl as a major u.s. city reports an alarming rise in accidental drug overdoses. >> bill: new reports of china getting cozy with russia. is china putting its thumb on the scale to tilt the war in putin's favor? >> dana: a pair of cases before the supreme court that could dramatically transform the internet and the technical arguments causing some confusion on the bench and maybe even here in my seat. jonathan turley ahead to help make sense of it all. >> we're a court. we really don't know about these things. these are not the nine greatest experts on the internet. think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no. he's making real-time money moves with merrill. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready.

>> bill: there could be a new

twist in the case of a british girl missing for more than 15 years. 3-year-old madeleine mccann disappeared in 2007 on vacation in portugal with her family. this polish woman now claims to be madeleine. her name is julia, she is 21, posting on social media with the handle i am madeleine mccann. she describes her similarities with the missing girl and writes i need to know the truth. i need a dna test and need to talk to madeleine's parents, help me. the parents agreed to the test. reps for the young woman admit her background is messy, which is a quote, apparently. >> dana: a tough situation for her, she is tortured by this and also for the parents. they would love to find their daughter. >> bill: a significant story in british media for 15 years. it is probably on the minds of the parents every minute every

day. >> i know that the nypd. homeland security i know they are trying to get a handle on it but i don't understand how it happened. how it comes in and gets just funneled through the way onto the streets the way it does. something has to be done about it. >> dana: heartbreaking plea from a mother whose son died from taking fentanyl-laced drugs at new york city's medical examiner confirms an alarming rise in accidental drug overdoses. someone in the city dies of an accidental overdose every three hours. we have a latest. welcome to the show, cb. >> america's families are paying the price for this epidemic. new york city's chief medical examiner's office says drug overdoses now account for 80 to 85% of the city's accidental deaths. up from 60% in years past.

it blames fentanyl. sandra's son dor ian died in 2016 after unknowingly using a drug laced with fentanyl. her son was found in a train bathroom. her son battled addiction and never wish her pain on others. >> people say i can't imagine what that was like and i say to them no, you can't. you don't know unless it happens to you. >> just yesterday a federal jury in brooklyn found two drug dealers guilty of distributing fentanyl causing overdoses. according to court document this was one of the texts the pair sent a client. a 43-year-old man died after getting the text and drugs. cook county including chicago officials estimate opioid overdose debts for 2022 will be more than 2,000. passing 2021 totals. researchers at the national institutes of health predict similar trends will continue through 2023 because dealers can

sell fentanyl for cheap and mix it with other drugs making a product even more potent. >> you think about the drug dealer. they want to get the product better than the one sold by the other person. >> over 106,000 people died of a drug overdose in the u.s. in 2021. >> dana: alarming statistics. thank you. >> bill: to these fascinating stories before the u.s. supreme court this week. they are hearing a case whether or not tech companies like google and twitter can be held liable for hosting content posted by isis among others. the case has broad implications for protected speech on social media. it appears, however, to be confusing to some of the justices who in their own words are not experts on the internet. read up quickly. jonathan turley, nice to see you, professor. good day to you. case number one argued yesterday

and we'll go to case two. they have similarities on the merits. so yesterday a 23-year-old american woman, they brought this suit against google. in effect they believe that youtube owned by google was -- served as a siren call on behalf of isis fighters. this woman was killed in paris in 2015. they are saying that google should limit the ability of the algorithm for actors like isis to participate on their channel. on the face of it, it sounds reasonable. but you have this section 230 clause that has helped protect these media companies for 25 years. how do you see it going? >> as you have noted the supreme court found much of this to be a bit confusing. i'm somewhat sympathetic. they are my contemporaries. the arguments sounded like they

were trying to get the younger lawyers to set their vcr. there is obviously a lot of technical aspects to how these algorithms work. in some degree i think the court was inclined to support the companies because this is something that congress should look at as opposed to nine justices who have fleeting knowledge of the internet. the problem for the free speech community is that we're not used to supporting these companies. these companies have an awful record of censorship. and many of us have called for congress to tweak section 230. if they want immunity under this law they have to stop being editors. the problem is that they are making biased decisions while claiming that they are really still a neutral platform. the problem with this case is that it would cut in the other direction from the free speech claims. that is if they have liability in this case, they are more likely to ramp up that

censorship. so it is a rather odd case for the usual parties in these disputes between these companies and the free speech community which i often associate with. >> bill: another case being heard that involves twitter, a 2017 case where isis led an attack in 2017 and this individual was killed and they will hear that today. i don't know if section 230 is applied the same way they argued yesterday. one of the justices said yesterday if we remove second than 230 there could be an avalanche of lawsuits against these companies? is that a reason to keep it in place and kick it to congress? >> it is. the motivation for section 230 was to allow the internet to flourish. these are sites that are really our new telephone company, you know. people use social media now as their principle form of

communication. they said we're like the telephone company. people use them to communicate. we don't want to get sued every time a third party puts something defamatory or wrong-headed or derogatory. congress agreed and said well, since you are just supplying the platform we'll give you this protection. the original purpose of the section was good. the problem is that the companies then started to do exactly what they said they weren't going to do. they started to be editors and started to ban people who took positions against the company's views on covid, elections, gender issues. so they are no longer those neutral platforms that they sold to congress. >> bill: don't know how it will turn out but appreciate the analysis. we'll see what arguments we get today. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> bill: jonathan turley. >> dana: a brutal winter storm

don't let this fool you because guess what we've got? freezing rain that is coming down intermittently. this here is turning into a sheet of ice as we speak. right now we're under an ice warning until 4:00 a.m. eastern time on thursday and you can see what is happening right now. this is all completely iced over. the roads are beginning to do that. you see the state capitol here in lansing. there are bands of freezing rain that have come through. to our west in minneapolis, the twin cities, look at the video of the snow up there. potential for over two feet. that could set records as a top five snowstorm there in the minneapolis area. 2,000 miles this system is coming across, over 40 million people in the bull's eye of that winter storm. to think down in florida we're seeing record temperatures. weather is really wild right

now. in lansing, we're expected to see this freezing rain and snow come through out here the entire day until tomorrow morning. roads will be impassable within a matter of hours. if you're watching, do not go out. hazardous is an understatement. >> dana: i would listen to you, robert. you speak with authority and also part of our amazing weather team. thank you. check out the fox weather for continuing fox with app for continuing coverage of the storm. scan this qr code on your screen to download it. you can stream fox weather on your favorite device. we use it at our house. it is very accurate and free. >> president biden: the auto crats must be opposed. ukraine will never be a victory for russia. >> bill: president biden

striking that tone yesterday rallying the west to stand fast against putin and assault on ukraine. we're entering year two of that war at the end of this week. senator wicker, top republican senate armed services committee. we have a lot to get to in the next couple of minutes. "wall street journal." china, russia and u.s. red line on ukraine. the key paragraph. president biden's visit to kiev on monday was an important symbolic display of american support for ukraine and credit to him for traveling to a war zone. the bigger ukraine news in recent days may be the public alarms coming from u.s. officials that china could soon provide russia with military aid. that's the headline that comes away from this. the great powers of this world have taken sides. what do you think, senator? >> thanks for having me on. absolutely agree with that paragraph on the "wall street journal" and frankly from their entire editorial today. the best way to keep china at

bay is for ukraine and our nato allies who are helping them to actually win this and so while i appreciate what the president said yesterday and again today with the other european leaders, i wish he would match that with action and supply more of what we know we are going to have to give them to win immediately rather than parcel it out. we need to avoid the foot dragging we've had for the last year. the rhetoric is great, diplomacy stops at the water's edge and we ought to all applaud the president for supporting ukraine and the bravery of zelensky. but he needs to match that with action. >> dana: something seems to have changed in the mind of president xi of china. i don't exactly know what it is. i put this question to you. he had been keeping putin at an

arm's length distance for quite a while. remember putin said he thought they were best friends and it turned out actually china wasn't so enamored and wasn't going to fully support and they were agas at the attacks on civilians and now they are there today, his foreign minister, the chinese foreign minister in russia talking to putin and working out a summit between putin and xi. what has changed in the chinese president's mind to make him think this is a good move now? >> here is what we need to remember. putin and xi are dictators and they are expansionists. the desire of president xi to take over taiwan and other areas in the western pacific has not changed. the best way to stop him is for putin to lose his war of aggression in ukraine and that is absolutely possible this year

if we give them and the west joins in with giving them the weapons and missiles and the air power that they need. to me he is still wanting to play footsie with putin. if putin loses, xi is much less likely to make an aggressive mistake in the western pacific. >> bill: can i ask you another question about what the president's message was? he talked yesterday about a nuclear power plant being built on behalf of westinghouse, an american company out of pittsburgh to be built in poland? did that come as a surprise to you? and if so, where is that talk in this country? >> it's something that we had not been briefed on. i had not heard anything about that. and of course we certainly realize that one of putin's tactics is and one of his strategies is to deprive

ukrainian people of power, light and heat during the remainder of this very cold winter. we ought to be helping them to stay alive and stay warm. of course, a better way to do it would have been american liquefied natural gas which we have plenty of and which we're able to give them. but the main thing is that they need the weapons to fight as aggressively they can fight without any american troops and frankly, bill, there has been a three-week offensive on the part of the russians and they have gained very few meters and taken huge losses. their casualties are almost 100% fatalities and russia's offensive this late winter has failed. ukraine is in a position that we give them what they need to win, and i think that will do a lot

to give us some support in congress and american public opinion that our money is well spent and being matched by the nato allies. >> dana: that is being questioned. roger wicker down in mississippi. >> bill: trench warfare in southeast ukraine as you well point out. thank you for your time. >> dana: a rancher accused of killing an immigrant on his property is in court today. the report card is in. dozens of schools in a democrat-led city are getting a failing grade. is this a snapshot of a bigger problem nationwide? >> no child should be trapped in a failing school just because of their zip code or parents' bank account. want it? what would it look like? i've had great success as a small business owner, and i can show you how. because of the success of my bestselling book, blue collar cash, i've created an online course called a path to a successful life.

>> bill: we're now waiting a court appearance by an arizona

rancher charged with fatally footing a mexican man on his property last month. he said it is drug smugglers responsible. we are watching the story out of denver. >> there are a number of unknowns in this case, namely the facts that went into the decision by santa cruz county investigators and prosecutors to charge kelly with murder. these two additional aggravated assault charges filed yesterday. another big question. the 74-year-old rancher, will the judge allow his release or reduction of the $1 million p bond. he was arrested for killing a mexican man on his property which sits on arizona's southern border. kelly was having lunch with his wife when he heard a gunshot. after calling the u.s. border patrol ranch liaison kelly claims he went to his porch with his rifle when the defendant says he saw a group of men

carrying ak-47s wearing large backpacks and camouflage clothing and the leader was pointing a weapon at him. he fired warning shots aiming over the group's heads which prompted them to take off. border agents and deputies came to his property and searched the area and left. however, when kelly walked his property later that day, he found the unarmed dead man of a 43-year-old mexican national who had been shot. he called law enforcement to report the discovery which ultimately led to his arrest. the hearing, bill, is set for the top of the hour and we'll be watching. >> bill: alicia, we'll be watching, too. >> dana: parents nationwide are still dealing with the lasting impact of school closures and pandemic lockdowns. democrat is sounding the alarm in chicago. a new report reveals dozens of city schools have 0 proficiency in reading or math. martha maccallum anchors the story.

we did a report two weeks ago about baltimore and not a single kid in eighth grade proficient in math in baltimore city schools. >> if this were a country you would call it a failed state, right? public education in the united states in many areas is a failed state. where is the crisis response? where is the response that is necessary when you have a failed system? i spoke yesterday to governor huckabee sanders in arkansas and rolled out a plan yesterday for education reform. i really don't understand where the alarm is? where is the crisis response to what is going on in america's school? it is sad and pathetic when you have 55 schools with no proficiency in reading or math. what is the point? you are failing in your mission. it is a failure. >> bill: a collective failure. it's the state, county, local superintendent, it's the teachers rick, it's the parents

ferments >> they've all failed. governor sanders wants to address teachers with an idea that governor desantis wants to do. the baseline of $50,000 a year to entice better people into that work because it is a wonderful line of work. students need to be assessed. how far behind are you? what do we do to catch you up? parents need to be engaged and have choice. both things need to happen in order to fix this crisis situation that exists in american education. if we don't have students who can read and write in the united states of america, what are we doing? again, why is this not dr. jill biden's number one issue? she is a teacher. that's her life's work. why is this not her issue? i think about barbara bush, laura bush, literacy.

making sure kids could read. i don't understand why we are turning a blind eye to this issue at the federal level. >> dana: if you can't read at this age in the eighth grade you are likely to be an ill literate adult. if you can't read as an adult you know what your life -- your chances of going to jail increase, your ability to earn an income that will be able to support you goes down. the cycle continues. >> what if we had a six-week summer catch-up reading program and basically got volunteers from colleges across america and said look, this is what you will do. this is your service to the country, spend six weeks this summer working with kids and helping them learn to read and it would be a fantastic way to get people involved. >> bill: chicago public schools gave a statement says they're consistent with other larger urban districts. >> oh great. at the bottom with everyone else. >> a reflection of pandemic

challenges. and we expect a strong recovery this year and next. >> dana: we hope so. >> they need to set benchmarks and show people how they achieved that goal. saying other people are also at the bottom is pretty pathetic. >> bill: see you at 3:00 today. in a moment more than 60 british companies testing out a four-day work week. most of their own employees say they will never go back to the five-day grind. could that model work here at home? plus royalty reuniting in a shock collaboration. we say shock. ♪

it is what makes running a business so great. the thing you have to think about, though, is you have to look at what your output is. your product or service. is it time sensitive, quantity sensitive. see if you can pull this off without any interruption. if you can i think it's great if it makes you competitive and retain employees. the only thing i worry about a little bit is there is always someone that might be willing to outwork you. if they will continue that five-day work week and you are the first one jumping in the pool watch what your competitors are doing. >> dana: an overachiever. julie shore is an economist at boston college. she says this. at the beginning this was about pandemic burn-out for a lot of employers. now it's more of a retention and recruitment issue for many of them. so forecast a little bit forward for us. what do you see on that front? >> well, i think again this isn't going to be a one size fits all. certainly where i come from in

the construction industry you have a situation where back logs are huge right now and supply of workers is low. a lot of those people are working 5, 6 day weeks to try to get the work done but also getting overtime that is lucrative. you won't walk up to them and say let's shut it down on thursday and see you on monday. they won't be willing to lose money doing that. if that does happen, they will probably wake up on friday and say i will go find a side gig to make more money until monday comes. not sure it will take hold across the board. >> dana: the four-day week and other challenge some companies are having trying to get workers to come back to the office. amazon and disney are two companies. we talked about disney on "the five" this week saying if they need them there because it is important. amazon chief executive said basically easier to learn model practice and strengthen our culture when we're in the office together and surrounded by our

colleagues. we all recognize that, ken. some people don't want to come back. listen to bill maher, his thoughts on people returning to the office. >> they found when people work 80% of the time if they get paid the same they do the same amount of work. most people in an eight-hour day work three hours. >> our generation got mentors. we have an entire generation who doesn't have anyone telling them how to do our jobs because we're home in our p.j.s. >> dana: an employees' market for a long time because people needed to hire workers. it could change with the economic forecast we have. how do we see that? >> i look at it this way. i have a friend with a son who graduated from college in finance and moved to chicago to work for a big firm. the issue was as soon as he moved there, they went into this stay at homework mode. here is a young person trying to get mentored and trying to break into a very heavily relationship-type business and now he doesn't get to learn how

to negotiate in a roomful of people. he doesn't get to see the interpersonal skills and communication skills. i worry about that. we have people staring at screens a lot already during the day. do we really want that to happen more than we do now? >> dana: might not be good for us. >> bill: worried about learning the skills to run a business and doing it in such a remote and lonely way. >> dana: hope you have a great day. thank you for joining us. food for thought this morning. >> bill: thank you. before we go roll out today is ash wednesday. revelers in new orleans had a party last night. >> dana: did you get pictures? >> bill: we know it happened. >> dana: did you have a big party last night? >> bill: not so much. i have given up alcohol for lent eight of the last nine years.

i don't know if i have the strength to do it this year. but i will do a fish filet at fridays at mcdonalds across the street. if you want me to get you one i can. they're good. >> dana: peter brought the fish pill aon the plane the day we met. he knew it was disgusting. it could have been a deal breaker. we've been married 25 years. here is harris and "the faulkner focus." >> harris: we begin with this fox news alert. president biden likely hoping to come home to praise in a bun i shalled image after his visit to ukraine and poland. instead the tensions among the world's super powers exploded in matter of days. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." during this hour yesterday president biden took the stage in poland demanding russian president putin ends his year-long brutal war on th
