tech industry also closed. everyone will get their money back we're being told by the feds. this is the roosevelt room live at the white house. dana and bill will be covering this soon the president comes out to speak and have it live for you here on the fox news channel. >> this is one he will show up on time to. more of this on radio, too. >> you are on "the five" today. >> thank you for watching. >> bill: good morning, everybody. market will open up 30 minutes from now reacting to the largest bank collapse since the financial crisis of 2008. will the fall of silicon valley bank be a symptom of a larger downturn? haven't been here in 15 years as we say hello on monday morning. hope you had a good weekend. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." i was having a few flashbacks, 2008, yeah, i was there. >> bill: you were in the heat of it. >> dana: we have people to explain it today. president biden is about to address the bank failures.

expected to defend the banking system after his government scrambled to prepare emergency measures to bail out silicon valley bank customers. here comes the president coming up to the podium. >> president biden: before i leave for california, i want to briefly speak about what is happening in silicon valley bank and signature bank. today thanks fought quick action of my administration america will have confidence that the banking system is safe. your deposits will be there when you need them. small businesses across the country that deposit accounts at these banks can breathe easier knowing they can pay their worker and pay their bills. hard working employees can breathe easier as well. last week when we learned of the problems of the banks and the impact they could have on jobs, some small businesses and banking systems overall, i instructed my team to act quickly to protect these interests. they have done that.

they have done that. on friday, the government regulator in charge, the fdic, took control of silicon valley bank's assets and over the weekend it took control of signature bank's assets. secretary yellen and a team have taken action, immediate action and here are the highlights. first, all customers who had deposits in these banks can rest assured they will be protected and they will have access to their money as of today. that includes small businesses across the country that bank there and need to make payroll, pay bills and stay open for business. no losses -- this is important point. no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. the money will come from the fees that banks pay into the deposit insurance fund. because of the actions of that -- because of the actions that our regulators have already

taken every american should feel confident that their deposits will be there if and when they need them. second, the management of these banks will be fired. if the bank is taken over by fdic the people running the bank should not work there anymore. third, investors in the banks will not be protected. they knowingly took a risk and when the risk didn't pay off, investors lose their money. that's how capitalism works. fourth, important questions of how these banks got into the circumstance in the first place. we must get the full accounting of what happened and why those responsible can be held accountable. my administration -- no one is above the law. and finally, must reduce the risks of this happening again. during the obama/biden administration we put in place tough requirements on banks like silicon valley bank and signature bank including the dodd-frank law to make sure the

crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements. i'm going to ask congress and the banking regulators to strengthen the rules for banks to make it less likely this would happen again and protect american jobs and small businesses. the bottom line is this, americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe. your deposits are safe. let me also assure you we will not stop at this. we'll do whatever is needed. on top of all this. let's also take a look to put the situation in a broader context. we've made strong economic progress in the past two years. we've created more than 12 million new jobs. more jobs in two years than any president ever created in a single four-year term. unemployment is below 4% for 14 straight months. take home pay for workers is going up especially for lowing

and middle income workers and record numbers of people apply to start new businesses, more than 10 million of them. more than 10 million applications over the last two years starting businesses. now we need to keep the program and this progress going. swift action that my administration is all about. protecting depositors, protecting the banking system and the economic gains we've made together for the american people. thank you and god bless you and may god protect our troops. see you in california. >> what do you know about why this happened? can you assure americans there won't be a ripple effect? >> dana: the president usually will respond to at least one reporter or look like he will come back today. that wasn't going to happen. they wanted the statement to be tight before the markets open at just about 25 minutes from now. >> bill: we were debating whether or not would take questions. better safe than sorry. >> dana: i would have recommended not taking them. >> bill: some of the headlines.

reduce the risk of this happening again, charles explain that. all the managers are fired. wow. i did not hear that over the weekend. no taxpayer dollars used. all the money comes from fees. i don't know how you manage that. that's what he said. all customers who have deposits in silicon valley and signature banks will have access to their money. what do you think? >> where do we begin? first and foremost for me that was a bail-out of silicon valley. not silicon valley bank, of silicon valley. everyone needs to be clear on that. this was not a bail out of hard working americans with small accounts. this was a bank that only catered for the most part to silicon valley and their customers. how did silicon valley get so big? all the money at the beginning of the pan pandemic.

90% were pure crap the others went out overvalued. everyone who bought them at the ipo price. every american is losing money right now. all that money went to silicon valley bank. their deposits went up to 200 billion. the average bank over that same time went up 35%. they are living large and having a great time. what do they do with the money? they don't lend it out. who the hell needs a loan in silicon valley. they don't lend it out. they put it into different things and start investing with it. they say let's buy these bonds. this is the tricky part and i think the overall market will get hammered this morning. when banks put the bonds -- two ways to put bonds on your books. one is held to maturity. if you do that you don't have to mark the ups and downs of the bond market on your balance sheets. the ones for sale you do and you

have to actively manage those. the bulk of these bonds that they had were held to mature tee. the fact of the matter is the bond market took one of the worst rubings in the last year devalued their bonds, their core asset started to go down. other things that happened commercial mortgage backed securities are getting dismated in work from home. this was an irresponsible reckless bank. let's be clear. the american public must know every account in this country is insured to $250,000. every single account. this was not about bailing out small accounts. regular americans. the mean bank account is $41,000. you want to go by -- if you look at the average bank account for someone without a high school diploma $9 thousand. bachelors, $79,000.

a bail-out of the he leitz and silicon valley that for 20 years grew companies privately to exorbitant valuations and put them on the public at higher valuations. they've made so much money. only the saudi arabia princess can deal with the amount of money they made. who bids against each other for the world's biggest yachts and bought the maltese falcon? this is what i'm talking about. >> dana: we'll talk to a woman with a small business, 32 years old, three children and runs a small business from etsy. they didn't know if they could be paid on monday. there are some people who are saying why am i at risk? i'm a small business owner. she got laid off during covid and pulled herself up. successful business. she is afraid now that

everything will be okay but told on friday we might not be able to pay you monday. >> if i do business with someone and they can't pay me like as a conduit etsy connect buyers or sellers. that's a red flag. i'm getting out of them or do business with them anymore, period. we keep hijacking the small stories to protect the people that keep wrecking our economy. that keep getting -- i'm talking massive in the billions of dollars. >> dana: i hear you. >> here is the thing. during the hot ipo spring. i own stock some of those. i'm doing good. we'll see what happens today. the point is, roadblocks raised $30 billion, 30 billion. their exposure to silicon valley bank is 26%.

we're bailing them out. so a lot of single moms with kids bought that stock thinking they could make money and got whacked. getting crushed. we have to find out a way to help someone like that. this is the point i was getting to. anybody with less than $250,000 will get paid from the bank. everyone. everyone. this is not a bail-out of anybody. >> 90% of the deposit there were higher than that. >> $3 million in the bank. where do we start? >> bill: we didn't talk about signatures, in new york, nevada, california. they may have had some of the silicon valley exposure as well. do you believe it's on the banks themselves or is this on the regulators that were intended to prevent another catastrophe?

>> i don't think there is one single entity. i think the federal reserve deserves some credit. they wanted to break something, they broke something. i don't think -- >> bill: because interest rates have gone up. five points in a year? >> these assets, bonds, because the bond market took such a hit last year, it is interesting because when you talk wall street investing world when they say the term risk-free. buying bonds. risk-free. part of this is a major part of the dominoes. we can go further back. i go back to the free money. if all that didn't cascade into the economy and sparked the inflation crisis that has forced powell to come to the rescue we wouldn't be in that position in the first place. these are all the consequences of things like that. when you hear president biden brag about these things the

sugar high is wearing off and this is the ugly stuff that's left. >> dana: is there more ugly to come? >> there could be. the stock market. here is what is scaring me this morning. red and yellow flags. bond yields are coming down hard and crashing. the stock market is coming down at the same time. that is a signal of fear. that's a flashing red sign of fear. we don't know all the answers. the best thing to do right now in terms of the markets is just they are going to a place where you say -- the market is going hay wire. it should not have been a contagion event. this is a different kind of bank. it could have gone broke by itself. people with $250,000 would be paid. small businesses could have gone back to venture capitalists and say help us raise more money.

etsy could say we need to raise more cash. it is a dangerous route and it's scooping up all americans. >> bill: it's early in the day. >> i don't need coffee this morning, my man. >> dana: don't worry about the spring forward now. thank you. [shouting] >> dana: ex clues ivor video captured at the southern border yesterday a huge group of 1,000 migrants rushing a port of entry in el paso, texas. men, women, children. walking and running across the bridge linking to u.s. to mexico. bill melugin you tweeted it over. 2 million retweets or views. this was a big breach at the border. >> good morning. that video has now about 8 million views. a lot of people talking about it. in the huge rush of migrants shut down one of the main ports

of entry in el paso yesterday for several hours at cbp set up a line of defense in the middle of the bridge. we'll get into it. look at this fox exclusive video showing the moments this rush first began here yesterday. the mass, hundreds of migrants get onto the bridge and start running towards the united states in an effort to get into the united states. this was a mixture of all sorts of migrants families, single adults, little kids. we're told they're primarily venezuelan migrants who did this. they start running onto the bridge. eventually met in the middle of that bridge by a cbp skirmish line. they had to call in multiple special response teams and mobile field forces to repel the migrants from getting into the united states. they set up physical barricades, barbed wire. a stand-off going on in the

middle of the bridge for several hours as they tried to stop people from being able to get in. we're told my migrants involved one of the catalysts involved is frustration with the cbp1 app. migrants aren't able to get appointments as fast as they would like to as well as a false rumor on social media they would be let into the country if they showed up. you don't see this every day. the mexican military was called in, two lines of mexican soldiers standing on the bridge, standing on the port of entry. the camera will wheel around and the u.s. law enforcement response. cbs skirmish lines. dozens of officers in riot gear and crowd control gear and barbed wire set up to deny entry to the migrants. >> dana: thank you for the update this morning. we'll bring you back here but keep in touch. thank you. >> bill: so that video from friday russian advances causing

heavy losses in what might be the deadliest week of fighting since the invasion in ukraine began. we're live with the latest. >> dana: the biden team blocking oil and gas drilling in the arctic sea as it is ready to approve a giant drilling project in alaska. >> bill: china brokering a deal between iran and saudi arabia. how did this happen? what that means for the u.s. role in the middle east. >> i'm very concerned it looks a lot like 1936 all over again. an axis of power, russia, china, north korea and iran bounding together against the freedom. to fight inflation is to pay off your high-rate debt to lower your monthly payments. at newday we make it easy. our newday 100 loan lets you combine your first mortgage, your second mortgage, your high-rate credit cards, personal loans and car loans into one, low monthly payment.

>> bill: now to what might be the most deadly day of fighting

since the russian invasion a year ago. kiev military reports it has killed more than 1,000 russian soldiers. this in the ongoing battle for the town of bakhmut in southeastern ukraine. an area central to the ukrainian supply chain. we have latest on this headline and more. steve harrigan, hello. >> both sides claiming astronomical death controls. numbers can't be verified. ukraine saying it has killed more than 1100 russian soldiers in this week alone. a lot are mercenaries freed from prison and the fighting around bakhmut is very difficult. russia for its side is claiming it has killed 220 ukrainian soldiers just in the past 24 hours. we're seeing death toll claims of more than 1,000 a week in fighting for this salt mine town of really no strategic value. just getting the wounded out

from the front lines has become extremely difficult. largely because of the spring thaw. roads are mud. >> sometimes we need to go slow when we have a severely wounded patient. they can be shaken on the road. >> ukrainian officials have begun to talk with much optimism about what they call a spring offensive. they aren't saying where but likely to take place against russian positions in the south. >> 1 or 2 major tactical defeats are demoralize the russia army and flee in different directions and social protests will start inside russia. >> some u.s. officials have expressed concern the fighting around bakhmut might be taking attention and manpower away from that proposed spring offensive. bill, back to you. >> bill: thank you, steve harrigan on the ground in kiev. our colleague benjamin hall critically injured about a year

ago in ukraine will join us tomorrow and share part of his incredible story. don't miss the interview. every time he is on we learn something new. we'll have ben's story and reaction coming up tomorrow with benjamin hall here on "america's newsroom." >> dana: iran and saudi arabia announced friday they are restoring diplomatic relations and reopening embassy after years of tension. that deal was brokered by china. and that's raising concerns about america's influence in the middle east where it has long been seen as the dominant power broker. here is what one middle east expert said. it should be a warning to u.s. policymakers leave the middle east and abandon ties with sometimes frustrating, even barakous allies and you will leave a vacuum for china to fill. jack keane fox news -- people in washington don't know what to make of this. china stepped in and got iran

and saudi arabia to start making nice? >> yeah. certainly if tensions are going to be reduced between two arch rivals that have had historic divisions for years and both of them have powerful militaries, that is a good thing. i think the concern that all of us observers had, the country with the most significant influence on peace and stability in the middle east and the gulf has been the united states. and that is obvious why presidents since the end of world war ii have always been willing to work with the arab nations despite the difference we may have in values because of that peace and stability and our dependence obviously on oil. what concerns us here is china's influence and taking the place of the united states. they've always had an economic interest in the middle east, 62% of all their oil comes from the

middle east. geopolitical influence is what this door is opening for china. that is our concern. why is this happening? because the united states is pulling away from the middle east. the arabs got the word when the biden administration came in. they shut down the arms deals that were being brokered at the time. they pulled away from the abraham accords that the previous administration and prime minister netanyahu at the time had brokered with israel, which was absolutely a paradigm geopolitical shift in the middle east towards something that was very positive. yes, this is the concern that all of us have in looking at it. dana, i will tell you something, the arabs -- the saudi arabia, i've known this country for a long time. they still want to have a close relationship with the united states. they eventually will want to normalize relations with israel. they are probably chess players

a little bit and want to leverage to united states in terms of eventually getting the security agreement, remove any restrictions on arms sales and also help them with nuclear power in terms of energy development. that is where the saudis really want to go and while this deal with china is obvious what it is, moving closer to them, at the end of the day they still want to have a close relationship with the united states and they want the united states to help enforce their security. i believe we can get back to that in time but this administration is going to have to step up and pay some attention to what is actually happening in the middle east. >> dana: we're 90 seconds away from the market open today. before that let me show you the gallup poll on america's views of china. 15% of americans who view china favorably down 38 points in the last five years. does that -- that might actually

be the most bipartisan thing we can all agree on in the country right now, sir. >> yeah. and i totally agree with that. this is a good thing, the fact that there is consensus among the american people. it energizes congress and administration to act. that's the kind of polling we had when dealing with the soviet union during the cold war. this is different. china's ally is russia, number one ally. there is a war in europe involving russia, china is moving towards a war in the pacific region. we don't want that to happen. that kind of polling is very helpful in moving the congress and moving the administration in the right direction to prevent war is what we are trying to do here. >> dana: no doubt the chinese pay attention to that even though they might say they don't pay attention to polls. that one would be an eye opener for them as well.

thank you. we'll get back to our financial news now. thank you for this as well. bill we're 20 seconds away from something you follow closely, the stock market. >> bill: just watching the futures market we were down and then came back and now we're going to open to the negative side more than 300 points on the dow. >> dana: how would you like to be that ireland bank there? >> right. which is a little more than 1% for the dow 30. well -- we'll see what the nasdaq and s&p. it is the fallout because of the silicon valley bank and signature bank. the president said we'll reduce the risk of this happening again insists no taxpayer dollars will be used. all the managers will be fired and all the customers who had deposits in either bank will be made whole. so in silicon valley bank alone, they gave a lot of loans over the years to tech start-ups to

help people try and generate that american capitalism and get ahold of that and innovate. silicon valley depositors had well over $250,000. we'll see throughout the day whether or not the market is okay. >> dana: it is down two pun points now and continue to follow that. larry hogan is here as we see the markets open today. one of the things that people wondered over the weekend and are thinking this morning is does this mean there could be a recession on the horizon? >> the recession may have already started. the administration has pushed many of these banks into more concerned about global warming than they do about shareholder return.

and these banks badly run because everybody is focused on diversity and all of the woke issues and not concentrating on the one thing they should. >> dana: economy. what do you think? >> i agree we should be focused on the economy instead of other things. the most important thing that most americans are concerned about. the biden administration has been down playing this saying everything is fine in the economy. we look like a second largest bank failure in history and the worst thing we've seen since 2008. this will impact the economy and consumer confidence and something we have to be on top of. >> bill: what you don't know based on history is whether or not there is a contagion out there people can't see. all banks around the world will be reacting throughout the day. well oh he see how it goes. a little bounceback after the dow opened there. maybe we're going to right direction. i want to talk politics with you.

call for number four. governor desantis made a stop in iowa, nevada, will make a stop in new hampshire and talking about south carolina trip very soon as well. play this sound bite and ask you about the field currently. we don't have it, all right. you see how long it was stretching there to try to get that up? how do you see the field right now? >> the field so far we don't know who will get in the race. the field right now is, you know, president trump and nikki haley. but it will be interesting to see who pulls the trigger and who gets in. ron desantis is getting a lot of attention. but we've got -- a long way before the first primary a year if now. >> dana: we also have vivek ramaswamy has entered the race and quick on the draw when it came to commenting on the bank issue. an op-ed in the "wall street journal" and talking about it. you hear rumors that senator scott is about to get in the race and mike pence made some moves this weekend.

what's your opinion about a large field versus a small field? >> i'll be in iowa with mike pence this weekend. i saw his comments that i thought were strong. i agree with him that president trump needs to be held accountable for january 6th. he was there, life was being threatened and his family was being threatened. >> dana: when it comes to having a lot of candidates or fewer candidates, where are you on that? >> i happen to believe that we should only have serious candidates that have the ability to compete. sometimes people get in the race for the wrong reasons because they want to get their name known and get more famous and get a cabinet position or something. i think we need a couple of strong candidates in there and somebody that can rise up and be the alternative to donald trump but i'm not sure who that is. everybody has a right to consider running. if they don't have a real shot they should reconsider. >> dana: you are going to be in iowa with pence. >> we're both speaking at a thing with joni ernst. we talked before i made my

decision along with other potential candidates out there. looking forward to sitting down with him. >> bill: let's talk about joe biden, "washington post." biden makes move foreshadowing campaign to come. he reversed himself on the d.c. crime bill that you would support. left a lot of house democrats out to dry, 173 voted for it. and certainly that's going to come up as a campaign issue in a lot of swing districts. he is signaling the families who cross the border will be detained which hasn't been the policy for 2 1/2 years. and based on the a.p. crossing about 30 minutes ago he will green light this drilling operation the willow project in alaska. so you put 1, 2 and 3 together and what do you see? >> a conscious effort to reconfigure and head in a different direction. joe biden when he got elected said he was going to be the guy to bring us together and govern from the middle. he was going to be the president

for republicans and democrats and didn't sound like a far left guy. the first two years he has been placating the base and obviously made the decision it isn't working for him and approve all ratings are low and goes back to fight for the middle. >> bill: does it dispel thought that he will not run for a second term? >> i don't know what he will do. it would give me more reason to say he looks like he is gearing up for a campaign. >> dana: he is trying to play on the willow project doing that while at the same time taking huge swaths of alaska and arctic off the table for energy exploration. on the same day we did a segment with general jack keane showing iran and saudi arabia will work with china and probably has something to do with energy. >> that's the biggest concern of everything we talked about. china is a huge enemy. us leaving a void there, them getting together with saudi arabia and iran about to have nuclear capability. very close to 90% enriched

uranium. it is really scary. >> bill: more to discuss. come back. larry hogan. the a.p. now reporting president biden will approve the controversial oil drilling project that will anger the left. called the willow project. it would allow oil drilling in parts of alaska. expected to face fierce opposition from a key part of his base, grady trimble is on that story fox business live from the north lawn. good morning. >> good morning. president biden just in the last half hour or so officially giving the green light to the willow project. a huge and hugely controversial oil drilling project in alaska. but at the same time the biden administration is putting new restrictions on oil and gas drilling in that state. it is unclear whether the interior department approved the scaled back version of this massive oil drilling project. conocophillips says it would create 2500 construction jobs. 300 permanent jobs and generate

$17 billion in revenue for the federal government. but as you mentioned, environmental activists are pushing back against it. viral tiktok campaign sought to block the willow project. the new restrictions in other parts of alaska's oil reserve are seen as an attempt to appease those environmentalists to limit oil and gas drilling on 16 million acres in alaska and the arctic ocean. republicans have long supported the project as a move toward greater energy independence in the united states. here is senator bill cassidy just before the approval this morning. >> it should go forward as long as it meets the environmental standards. for too long we're trying to push to venezuela and saudi arabia, produce the oil that we need, as opposed to produce it here with our environmental standards and creating jobs for american workers. let's do it. >> bill: conocophillips wanted

five drilling pads as part of the willow project. the bureau of land management proposed three drilling pads. it's unclear which has been approved this morning. >> bill: nice to see you. a lot going on at the white house already early today. >> dana: fox news alert in houston. police fighting back against america's crime crisis working hard to take back their streets from thugs and getting help from governor abbott. passengers on board the flight last week. attendants told them to delete any video of what happened. >> the plane literally just -- you can see my hand motion. it just literally went down like as though the plane was not going to stop. going to stop. immy over there? his girlfriend just caught the bouquet so...

>> bill: activist in portland, oregon putting up tents and leaving them around the city.

they are criticized as a band-aid to the problem. >> our focus was what's the permanent solution? it eventually became here is another tent, tarp and peanut butter sandwich. when you aren't actually helping the permanent nall solutions the old homeless stay there and new homeless comes in and everything gross. >> they have no addiction treatment support other than being handed clean syringes. critics calling it an all-harm and no reduction approach. >> dana: not good. texas officials taking the wheel as reckless and violent drivers turn major city streets to crime zones. governor abbott calling foran end to dangerous street races. it is growing beyond texas borders. casey stiegel is live in dallas with more. how so, casey? >> dangerous because we're seeing this happening in other cities across the u.s. not just here in texas, dana. more on that in a minute. the problem has gotten so bad in

the lone star state that a lot of the own police forces have enacted their own street racing task forces to deal specifically with this issue like here in dallas, for example and governor greg abbott recently announced that task force would go statewide bringing in dps and other resources. check out the latest video from march 4th around houston. 200 cars taking over a parking lot and surrounding streets doing donuts and stunts. several people were arrested including someone who had a 13-year-old child in the car at the time. d.a. says harris county has 850 pending cases for street racing and reckless driving alone with more than 200 vehicles already seized. >> this is a deadly activity. don't do it. law enforcement is ready. prosecutors are ready. you won't just go to court. we'll convict you and take your

car if you live. >> this austin incident made big headlines in mid february where racer went nuts flowing fireworks at cop cars. at least one officer was hurt. fortunately no other injuries reported. many enthusiasts tell us the popularity has exploded during the pandemic and fuel more by social media but agree it has gotten out of hand. >> i don't think it's the way they should go about with a automotive world. >> some cities like new york, los angeles, chicago and other major metro areas also seeing a rise in these particular crimes. we'll see how they address those. >> dana: casey stiegel in dallas, thank you. >> bill: airline passengers dropping thousands of feet in the air and the airline dismissing that as air

turbulence. lufthansa flight from texas to germany forced to land in virginia. seven travelers hospitalized. the faa is investigating. one of the passengers who was aboard the flight was dr. schmidt. you are en route -- you wanted to go to greece to see your daughter play volleyball. you got there eventually but not through you went through an experience. you describe it as hitting a tornado. what happened? >> yes. well, about a little over an hour into the flight, an announcement came on and it was something like now you are free to roam in the cabin and the steward had served most on the meal. i was in seat 24 on an

international flight is not too far from the front. i'm not sure how far back the flight attendant got. out of nowhere i had taken three bites of my salad and the plane literally started going completely down like at a very rapid speed. there was screaming immediately. i just started praying as i was in the seat and as soon as it had went down it also went back up. so at that juncture my body had -- the top of my head where my braid is here had hit where you put your luggage in. so the part that hangs out. and then my face hit the front where the tray pops down where you eat. everything else had -- >> bill: you had a concussion, bruised arm, potentially fractured hip. i want to share a couple of things i'm trying to piece

together on behalf of what you experienced. matthew mcconaughey's wife was on board. her instagram said the plane dropped almost 4,000 feet. sending people to hospital. everything was flying everywhere. the plane was chaos. turbulence kept on coming. you suggest it was not turbulence. the airline says it was turbulence. clean air turbulence that can occur without advance warning. you have flown before. what did it feel like to you? >> i'm 52. i have flown plenty of flights and have experienced turbulence. in my humble opinion it was not turbulence. it felt like literally going head on with a tornado and i had looked up the weather and saw that many tornadoes were hitting at that time in tennessee. i don't think a pilot would purposely go through a tornado but they also knew that the with

was terrible going through there. so it just -- it was just shocking what we experienced. >> bill: one question i want to squeeze in here. before the plane landed the flight attendant from lufthansa asked you to delete the pictures on your phone and video out of respect for other passengers. did people do that or did they keep them? >> well, they said it twice so let me be clear the first time they didn't say anything about the passengers. they had said i don't know if it was the pilot or the steward, a male voice and he said at this time, you need to delete -- everyone must delete all their photos and videos. i got suspicious. what are they talking about? i thought i was going to die so i had already taken pictures to show my family in case something happened. i wasn't going to delete them. the person sitting next to me looked at each other and what

the heck are they talking about? it was odd. before telling us what was going on you announce to tell people to delete your videos and pictures. it didn't make sense. later -- >> bill: it sounds strange. you kept your pictures. a lot of people did. we put them on tv. you chose to go to greece to see your daughter. it was the right move. i hope she played well in the volleyball tournament and i hope you had a wonderful mother/daughter experience together and try to figure out what happened, doctor. thank you for your time today in sharing your story. >> thank you so much. >> bill: dr. schmidt, thank you for being with us. >> dana: exclusive fox new video from the texas border. check it out here. it shows a huge group of migrants rushing a port of entry as patrol agents scramble to set up barricades. dan patrick joins us with his reaction next hour. rain and snow give way to flash flooding and mudslides as more

>> dana: cdc and multiple studies finding teen girls nationwide are facing a severe mental health crisis. gillian turner is tracking the story. >> a virginia teen explains after suffering the affects of silence for months she turned to self-harm before being hospitalized six times in the past three years with mental health emergencies. >> i kept this a secret for a very long time and the cuts got worse and deeper. it turned to suicidal thoughts because i didn't want to be labeled as insane or crazy. the ultimate factor that really

helped me get better was medicine and therapy. >> over the past year 13% of teen girls in america attempted suicide. one in three seriously considered it and three in five felt so sad they stopped regular activities. ingrid says girl's battles are often invisible. >> if not treated as a legitimate problem until people see the suicide rates and they go well, we never knew. they never reached out. they will feel like this battle can never be won. but when is winning. sometimes all you can do is i'm here and doing my best and i'm surviving. >> they call the stats a wake-up call. >> 10% attempted suicide and to me that is really a cry for help
