i have to circle back on this. how did you print? >> it was you guys, not me. >> harris: thanks to our amazing team of people who know how to push the print button. aren't you glad you work at fox? >> yes. >> harris: for so many reasons. okay. if you're not going to be sitting there this time tomorrow, check your dvr so you don't miss a second of "outnumbered." >> lot of people describe what was happening here in south texas as a humanitarian crisis or border crisis. i said we have a bit of a policy process. >> the drug cartels who just captured and killed a couple of americans and are making billions, billion, bringing people into the united states, many of whom, once they're here, have to pay the cartel back with forced criminal labor. >> we are 25 times more likely to have an overdose death than in mexico. >> we have a fentanyl problem and we need to fix it.

>> that hearing is young way right now in texas. the house homeland security committee is holding a hearing on protecting the southern border. democrats were supposed to be there before they backed out suddenly earlier this week. >> the hearing comes after more than 1,000 migrants rushed across the texas bridge and smugglers are going to new depths to hide things in plants even as they try to evade the border. we'll have the latest from the border coming up. >> sandra: from the hearing as well. we begin with this fox news alert as the stock market right now in the u.s. has fallen to its lows of the session over growing fears on whether the president can meet the moment to protect the u.s. economy. big questions are looming at this hour. we will dig into it. hello and welcome, everyone. i'm sandra smith in new york. john, good to be you. >> john: always something. john roberts in washington.

this is america reports. credit suisse their shares heading to an all time low, trading temporarily halted several times already. >> sandra: despite the collapse of two major u.s. banks this week, brand new inflation numbers indicating the fed could still move forward with an expected rate hike as soon as next week. what that means for you and your money. we've got fox team coverage. it begins now. >> john: first to our peter doocey who is traveling with the president, still in las vegas. how closely is the white house monitoring the markets today? >> reporter: john, they generally claim they don't follow the markets very closely because they say they don't think that is a good indicator of economic health. if that's different in this case, we hope to hear soon. we just haven't seen the president yet today. the dow has been down in the neighborhood in the last few minutes of about 700 points. so again, if we hear anything from the white house, we will bring that to you. there is a new wrinkle to the

white house response to silicon valley bank though. we're finding out that california's governor, gavin newsom, who president biden spoke to privately last weekend about steps to protect deposits actually had money in silicon valley bank through family vineyards. newsom's public statement on the bank did not disclose any of those family ties. >> we now know that gavin newsom was lobbying the biden administration without disclosing his own personal interest in the bank. what's happening, the biden administration is bailing out this bank and they are going to charge every american for it. >> reporter: white house officials dispute that point but lawmakers are taking a wait and see approach. silicon valley bank did reveal in a proxy statement they spent several months of 2022 without a chief officer. biographies are revealing very

little investment banking experience on their board. president biden is asking congress to send him bills tightening restrictions on banks. it is unclear what bill can unite this divided congress. >> we have a chance to make banking more boring again. we should take it now. >> reporter: we have not laid eyes on the president today. he remains at the spot where he spent the night. we do expect to see him for his first appearance about an hour and a half from right now talking prescription drug prices. then air force one will take him home. john? >> john: you along with it, though maybe not on air force one. come on back home as soon as you can. sandra? >> sandra: let's bring in the host of making money on fox business. tough to make money on this trading day unless you're selling the stock market short. viewers are going to want to know what you have to say about this uncertainty in the market. 700 points is a decent selloff. 2.2% loss. are things getting better or

worse? >> i think there's a bigger question mark. the clouds are darker. there's more confusion. when there's this kind of confusion, people ask questions later, find out the answers later. we had a big day yesterday on the upside, which might have been bigger if it wasn't for the russian plane crashing into that drone. then overnight credit suisse is in trouble. what boggles my mind on credit suisse is it's been in trouble since 2007. i mean, really. the stock was 76 bucks in 2007. two years ago it was 14 bucks. >> sandra: it's never been as low as it is today. >> just listen to me. all time high for this stock was 16 years ago and it crashed and it's never come back. i don't understand that if there is some contagion, if there is a systemic risk, this would be embarrassing. the big european bank. this should not be any u.s., true u.s. exposure to it because

this bank has been a basket case for at least ten years. >> sandra: okay. there's a lot of folks who probably think they are a basket case. >> that's why i am saying this reaction is worrisome. okay, so credit suisse is in trouble. that was your headline a month ago, a year ago, two years, four years ago. i think the key -- >> sandra: is there panic? is that what you are saying? >> saudi arabia is a big investor in credit suisse. they own 9.9% of the stock. they were asked to put more money in. they said not yet. they said it was because of regulatory issues. can't own more than 10%, yada yada. but then people started thinking, what if we have a bank contagion. my point is who comes to their rescue? >> sandra: you brought up the question.

muhammad alerian joined me. he, robert wolf were joining me. they advised democratic presidents here in the united states. and he had this warning about what the administration did with svb and what it means if there's another bank failure. >> i fear you can't put the genie back into the bottle. politically it will be impossible not to extend the same full unlimited deposit guarantee to all banks. >> sandra: that's a big statement from him. >> sure. sure. just so folks understand what we're talking about. i'm not sure everybody gets it because of the way it's been messaged. every single bank account in america is covered up to $250,000. every single one. if you've got 100 grand, you're covered. 5 grand, you're covered. what happened is silicon valley bank, because it's in the richest zip code in america, and because they've got so much

money over the last three years because all of that stimulus money, all of that fed money, they ended up pushing out all of these ipo's. 450 in 2020, 1035 in 2021. the average year has less than 200. they brought in billions and billions of dollars. they were sitting on a stock pile of money. they didn't lend it out. if you went in there regular joe schmo said, i need a loan, they'd kick you out. they started to invest the money. they bought bonds at the wrong time because the bond market crashed. anyone with 250 grand or less was covered. but because these are the richest, most powerful connected people in this country, because they are massive political donors to the democratic party, a decision was made on sunday after janet yellen said sunday morning there wouldn't be a bailout. >> sandra: and there was a bailout. taxpayers are bailing it out. >> so they paid off everyone, everyone.

companies like roblox. i own roblox stock but there's no way they should have gotten money. they went public at a $38 billion valuation. they have set something up. the bank of bismark, north dakota. if they went under tomorrow you know there would be some accounts local business people with a million bucks, some oil folks with a couple million bucks. they would not be made whole. >> sandra: that's the point he's making. can't do that now. you can't pick and choose. >> we always say they can't, but they do. they will find a way to message it. can the u.s. government cover every sinle bank account out there? if the dominos fall, say they all start to fall and it's a general panic, can the u.s. government cover it? our government is broke. we owe $32 trillion. could we really cover it? >> sandra: charles, just got you going. got you all fired up. good to have you here. we will continue this debate. we will continue watching the

market. looked like you talked some folks off the ledge. >> that's my job. >> sandra: you have been talking and now the dow is down 621 points. still early in the trading day. john? >> john: like the energizer bunny except without the drum. the house homeland security committee holding its first field hearing in texas but none of the democrats are attending the hearing. comes just days after more than 1,000 migrants rushed across a bridge in texas. smugglers continue to bring migrants across the border in often bizarre ways. bill, democrats changed their mi minds. >> according to a spokes person, several democrats agreed to come to this hearing. both their travel to come here. even invited their own federal witness who is inside testifying right now. they are pulled out at the last

second accord fog the republicans that hearing is now going on without them. take a look at this video. it's been going on for a couple hours now. the very first person to testify was the big fish the u.s. border patrol chief. there was this immediate highlight. take a listen. >> chief ortiz, does dhs have operational control of our entire border? >> no, sir. >> the chief's answer there clearly a direct contradiction from what we heard from dhs secretary mayorkas who said the border is under control. the chief was also asked about the president decision to end different wall construction projects along the southern border. here's his thoughts on that. take a listen. >> other prior administration we had 200 plus wall that was

appropriated and the president of the united states, president biden, by executive order, shut that down. we disagree with his decision to shut down construction. do you disagree? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: members of the committee also asked border patrol chief ortiz what his thoughts are as to what is the root cause of this issue. he appeared to admit at certain times that it was the new policies the biden administration came into office with. in terms of being more welcoming to migrants at the border an reversing the trump policies. the chief also saying he needs a lot more agents out in the field. take a listen. >> back in 2012, i had 21,374 border patrol agents. right now i have 19,016. my requirement is 22,000 border patrol agents. until i can get there i will require assistance from other agencies to include the department of defense. >> reporter: and again, there were zero democrats here today to listen to any of this testimony. they just full on boycotted this

hearing and accused republicans of playing politics. texas congressman august fluger who is on the committee tells us it is completely unacceptable for democrats to not be here. take a listen. >> just how disrespectful it is to those men and women, the family, the people who are willing to serve, put their lives on the line every single day. to now know that democrats are not willing to show up, not willing to talk to them, not willing to hear their stories. it's extremely disrespectful. >> reporter: guy, another jaw dropping number. testimony from chief ortiz this afternoon. just since the new fiscal year began on objecting 1st, he testified there have already been 380,000 known got aways at our southern border. we are pushing 1.4 million known got aways at our border since the beginning of fiscal year 2021. we'll send it back to you. >> john: wow. that's a stunning figure. bill, thanks.

last time the democrats and the judiciary committee held a feel hearing it was in the yuma sector. democrats said you're not talking to any federal official, this is a dog and pony show, we're not showing up. you have the chief of the border patrol there an they're still not showing up. >> sandra: the u.s. border chief is there and no democrats showed when clearly this crisis is growing at our border. it's hard to believe, john. >> john: yeah. i think their absence is glaring. >> sandra: more on that coming up. we're watching wild weather hitting both coasts, leaving hundreds of thousands without power in the middle east an forcing thousands of californians out of their homes over widespread flooding. is there any end in sight? >> john: and another fox news alert. we are waiting a knew briefing with defense secretary lloyd austin and joint chiefs chairman mark mille. that collision over the black sea involving a russian fighter jet and american drone. expected to be a big topic of

discussion. we will take you there when it happens. and senator bill haggerty joins us on that. he will tell us why the white house is falling short funding our military. >> it shows you where the biden administration is. we need to increase defense spending. we have more challenges coming from russia and definitely from china. also the other thing is, as a signal -- a lot of money every month by paying off your car loan and paying off your high rate credit card debt? and still have cash left over to put in the bank? with a newday 100 va cash out loan, you could do it all. take out an average of $70,000 - with no upfront fees. no upfront appraisal fees, termite inspection, or water test fee. because a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money. not flossing well? then add the whoa!

>> we are particularly concerned because we have seen uptick in serious close calls that we must address together. initial information suggests more mistakes are happening across the system. >> sandra: the faa is investigating another close call to two planes at ronald reagan national airport in arlington, virginia. march 7th a republican air ways flight crossed without clearance into the path of a united airlines plane which had just been cleared for takeoff. terrifying. john? >> john: frightening stuff. fox news alert. defense secretary lloyd austin set to take questions from reporters little less than an hour from now as the u.s. and russia race to recover a downed drone in the black sea that has significantly raised tpepb shuns between the white house and moscow. the briefing comes as concerns are growing on capitol hill over whether the biden administration is failing to address the

growing threat from u.s.'s fiercest adversary. bill haggerty, senator good to join us. when that russian fighter clipped our drone and knocked waufpb of the blades of the propellor crashing into the sea, the u.s. european command said, quote, the russian pilots acted in a reckless environmentally unsound and unprofessional matter and questions have been raised as to whether or not the response needed to be a little more forceful than that. what do you think? >> john, i absolutely think it should be more forceful. again, we need to be demonstrating resolve at every turn. we're talking about russia. we're dealing about communist china. we need to be dealing with a position of strength. talking about the climate implication, the environmental implication of this. we're talking about a situation where the russians have downed a u.s. military aircraft. our resolve should be far far stronger at this point.

>> john: not to mention the reaper drone cost about $32 million, which if i'm not mistaken, likely more than what the fighter jet that hit it is worth. john kirby did come out and say the russian action won't have any effect on u.s. military options. he said if the message is they want to deter us from operating in international air space over the black sea, that message will fail because that is not going to happen. it aos tougher talk than what the european command engaged in but is it still enough? >> well, he's exactly right. this will have exactly zero deterrence on us. we need to be able to move as we need. we will continue to do that. i think john kirby is right in that regard. i would like to have seen an immediate and clear and very forceful response. that's what we've been missing. >> john: as all of this swirls between the u.s. and russia, china continues to build up its military, continues to expand its footprint in the south china

sea in those disputed island areas. now questions are being raised as to whether or not joe biden is keeping up with china in terms of military increases. when you look at the pace of increase in the chinese military budget they are up 7.1% this year over last. united states is up 3.2% this year over last. now, there is a big difference in the budget. our budget proposal is $886 billion. that's about -- that's quadruple china's of $248 billion. but they are catching up to us rapidly. their money goes farther than our dollar does. >> john, the most important thing is to look at what's in the biden budget. it's not kept up with inflation. i think that's of deep concern. this budget should be focused on hardware, on training, on new platforms that are necessary to

beat and outcompete communist china. instead this talks about energy efficiency, mitigating climate risk. >> john: your caller said it remains woefully inadequate for this dangerous moment. at a minimum we need to provide growth above inflation if we want to defer the chinese party. the president is into deficit reduction, wants to slow the pace of increase of our military. there is a finite pot of money. and do you put more into the military basket to take away from other programs? or do you keep growth about the same across the border? >> i'm deeply concerned about the budget as well. what we need to do is look at this program by program and make sure we are focusing in on those programs that make us more effective, allow us to work more closely with our allies and put our adversaries at a real disadvantage. doing these programs focused on

climate risk and you heard about the pronoun discussion and training that's going on at the pentagon. we need to be focused on competence here. regardless of what the top line budget is, we need to take a very deep probe into what it will take to stay ahead of and to continue to outcompete communist china. >> john: senator, good to catch up with you. thanks. sandra? >> sandra: that is joe consha. the first federal major abortion case since the supreme court struck down roe v. wade. the ruling could come as soon as this afternoon. how a judge's decision could put a stop to sales of an abortion pill nationwide. >> john: fox news digital reporting exclusively another well known republican could be eyeing a run for the white house. we will tell you who it is and get reaction coming up next. >> we need to make the party bigger. no matter who the candidate is, we have to bring independents back in, the disenfranchised

young voter backes in. we need to make sure who the candidate is, we're winning in november of 2024.

>> john: looking live there outside the federal courthouse in amarillo texas since the supreme court struck down roe v. wade. pro life group is suing to ban an fda drug that is used in chemical abortion. more on this, could come as soon as this afternoon. >> reporter: john, yes, it really could. this began 3 1/2 hours ago. amarillo specifically. could end in the next hour or so. we could hear this federal judge actually rule from the bench today. that would be a rapid speed and unlikely. we're talking about mitchell pressstone. it was approved more than 20 years ago back in the fall of 2000. a group sued the fda arguing the drug can cause complications and

the approval back in 2000 was rushed. now it's possible this federal judge could issue this nationwide injunction which would temporarily stop sales even in states where abortion is legal. >> we want these dangerous trucks taken off the market and for the fda to do its job which is to protect women and girls from dangerous drugs like this. >> reporter: the judge was appointed by donald trump. opponents say a judge should not be overruling scientists who determined more than 20 years ago that this medication was safe. >> most americans could look in their medicine cabinet where they will find medications described by a doctor that they use on a daily basis and have

available to them because the fda engaged in a process of determining the efficacy and safety of that medication. this is no exception to that process. >> reporter: if the judge does rule to put an injunction in place expect an immediate appeal by the fda that could go to the circuit court of appeals or even take it right to the supreme court which means the high court in washington once again will have the issue of abortion before them. john? >> john: all right, again. we'll be looking for that coming down. sandra. >> sandra: than you, john. as the race for the white house heats up another candidate may be jumping into the race and make the gop field a bit more crowded. fox news learned chris christie will hold a town hall in new hampshire later this month joining florida governor ron desantis making plans to visit

the state. sounds interesting. speculation is growing. let's bring our fox news contributor. joe, how is this shaping up at this moment in time? >> the chris christie thing i think is a nonstarter. i saw the 2016 movie and that didn't go too well for him. perhaps there's a book coming out or perhaps a way to get some air time. i know we're something like 327 days from iowa. this not being a two horse race. one horse you have the donald trump. his core support as we know is unwaivering. then you have ron desantis. you see these polls where he's basically within the margin of error with donald trump. he hassen even declared yet. that's why donald trump is attacking him.

look at it. 50 year low in crime. unemployment well below the national average. stance on education. we have young children grade school not too crazy about being taught about gender identification. that's getting high marks from parents in that state. this is shaping up to be ali frazier, the presidential candidates will get more votes in history 74 million in 2020 as opposed to ron desantis. >> sandra: latest cnn polling up on the screen on gop voters preferring a candidate that is aligned with their views. i'll ask you how you interpret this, joe. republicans and republican leaning independents on their 2024 preference. on a candidate who agrees with views on major issues. 59%, joe. candidate who has a strong chance of beating joe biden 41%. the issues that matter most to those gop voters. >> on the issues, if it is trump

versus desantis, there's hard to see where there's separation. they are mirror images of each other when it comes to deregulation. florida has no income tax. i think it could be both. you want somebody who aligns with the way you see the world and the way you agree or disagree on issues and you want somebody that beats joe biden. >> sandra: that's a question if you are a republican. perhaps the way it was asked. the cnn report also ruled on gop support. trump 40%, desantis 36%, pence 6% and nikki haley at 6%. any of that surprise you? >> not at all. the question is what happens after iowa and new hampshire? do the mike pence and nikki haley, do they do what pete

buttigeig. if it's one on one you have to wonder where do the pence and haley and scott voters go? do they go back to trump or back desantis? >> sandra: real quick before you go. we've got about a minute left. we're watching the story out of sanford where the federal judge was shouted down from students there. the dean at sanford apologized and now is being protested by those students who don't believe conservative viewpoints should be present at their school. jonathan turley, with this new piece, saying it is a rising generation of censors and speech phobics that have been cultivated by many in academia. our institutions of higher education have become echo chambers where opposing views are no longer tolerated and preventing free speech claims to be acts of free speech. every bit of this story can be

very disturbing to those watching it. >> we see it on campuses, ivy league, west coast. we also see it in social media. then finally, we see it in media. do you remember when ben shapiro was asked to speak. politocs said he could not speak. and james bennett at the new york times and tom cotton simply wrote a piece, an op ed saying the national guard should be sent in when riots get out of control. that editor was eliminated. we are not seeing civil debate or just a disagreement or exchange of ideas. it's sensor the other side because one side thinks they are on a higher moral plane. >> sandra: mike davis was here yesterday on that story. he was talking about supreme court neil gorsuch. he said all of those people protesting free speech are going to be on camera. they've gone on the record with this. it will be tough for them to get

a job. >> isn't that amazing? >> sandra: think about that. good to have you here, joe. >> outstanding. i like yellow on you. spring is almost hear. >> sandra: i think we're all done with the dash colors. emerging into the spring months. it's still the middle of march and there's still snow on the ground. >> and wind. lot of wind. >> sandra: all right. john? >> john: i was about to say, dual weather threats on both coasts and nor'easter slamming the northeast. that's where nor'easters are supposed to slam. while the west gets padded by another atmospheric river shutting down roads and bridges. don't look now but there could be more on the way. >> sandra: wait for it. first it was those gas stoves. now the white house could be coming for your washing machine and your clothes could be stinkier and dirtier but a of it. we'll explain just ahead. veteran homeowners. one of the most powerful ways

>> john: another powerful atmospheric river drenches california and causes more flooding. fox weather correspondent max gordon is live there monterrey county. we saw you on the beach yesterday. california said the deal round after round of storms. looks like it's better today where you are. what's expected in the hours ahead? >> finally seeing sunny skies and blue skies in monterrey county.

governor newsom will tour some of the damage at marin at noon local time. we are standing alongside highway 1 because the bridge has been undermined by flooding. causing extensive flooding in the community around 2,000 people had to be evacuated. lots of rescues there. people's homes and businesses destroyed. now officials say that workers have been able to close the roughly 400 foot wide breach in the levy using rocks and other fill. still more work will likely be required to shore up that levy. as rains begin to subside yesterday, they were replaced by strong winds. soggy soil combined with gusty conditions set trees toppling. trees fell on houses and an

assisted care facility. hundreds of thousands had their power knocked out. another twist in a wild winter for folks here in northern and central california. >> we actually left. you can hear the bridge vibrate. >> reporter: heavy rain was reported in the eastern part of the state. a mud slide crashed into a home and forced evacuations. back here along highway 1 it's unclear when this road will reopen. engineers with cal transhave to determine the road is going to be safe and the bridge will be able to continue to bear loads. >> john: they sure needed the rain. max, thank you. for continuing coverage, you can tune into fox weather by

there's just one problem. kylatha doesn't exist. the hoax was created by a fugitive from india who is said to be on the run from rape charges. and that really happened. >> john: goodness gracious. like the marx brothers. oops. yeah. we have google. wow. speaking of things in cyberspace, tik tok is adding a new fee dedicated to science, tech, engineering and math content among other changes. it comes in response to criticism over how trends on the popular tik tok app are hurting children's mental health and our national security. let's bring in dr. mark sigel for more on this. in china, on their version of tik tok, children are only allowed to do the math, science, tech and engineering. they aren't allowed to do silly dances that american kids do on

tik tok. this seems like a desperate attempt to stave off the banning drive against tik tok. how do you see it? >> i think you have that exactly right. in china the parent company is called bite dance. they don't even allow tik tok out there. around the world there's 1.5 billion users of tik tok. 1.5 billion. the two main feeds are following and for you. my 18-year-old walked me through this. basically, you can put anything you want on your feed and misinform yourself all day long and end up thinking you have thyroid disease or thinking you have this problem or that problem. it keeps building on itself. then tik tok tried to fight back by calling out so-called misinformation on covid. you saw where that went. they have something called common sense network where they try to police saeur their videos and say this is inaccurate.

who's going to decide that? now along comes stem. they had stem before. you can go on tik tok for ages and do a stem tutorial. you can look into how to do math. it's not that it has no value, but now they're trying to fight back against the regulators and creating a separate feed called stem. my son says it's like taking purified water and pouring it into a polluted stream. i think that's where we are. >> john: that's a good way to put it. he's an intelligent young man. whether encouraging aspiring scientists to work out experiments in comment sections or helping a new programmer learn to code, the stem feed provides a space for co-learning and enrichment to bring high quality stem content to the tik tok community. as you mentioned, though, it could be a place rife for misinformation. there are questions as to whether or not the news feed that's on tik tok is curated by

entities that would like to make misinformation more pervasive in this country. it doesn't get away from the fact, too, there are other aspects of tik tok that are toxic for young kids. dealing with body image, peer pressure, that sort of thing. >> people actually get infected with that. it's caused a great deal of harm and anxiety. that's not going away. you already got to the biggest point about stem. who's to decide what's right and wrong? science is about debate. science is about challenging presumptions. we've seen already too much dogma in the last few years. tik tok is loaded with dogma. you can use the dogma you want. this isn't going to change that. if i thought we really had properly curated information, that's fine, as long as it's not censored. i don't want things censored, but i don't want things that are deliberately doing things to harm our teen, which is definitely what tik tok has done. there's a lot of harm that's

come out of it. >> john: dual issues of curated material potentially ending up on tik tok. there's the other even bigger issue, having stem classes on tik tok does not change the fact that the big concern with tik tok is that it's siphoning up all of the data on young people around the world and funneling it directly to the chinese communist party. >> you're exactly right. i remember when berlin, before the wall went down, when you could go to east berlin and you'd see a beautiful street. behind it would be a beautiful building with bullet holes. that's what this is. it's just a cosmetic fix. it is a place to get poor information and not proper information. it's dangerous to our teens. >> john: your son educated you well on this stuff. i'm impressed. >> he's immuned to this. he's got immunity to this. >> john: my kids will never have access to it. that's what we're doing. sandra. >> sandra: all new at 2:00,
