and deficits grow. 2/3 of the french think it's already to retire at 62. don't like the way macron is handling this protesting over the weekend with 100 arrests in the center of paris. later this afternoon they will vote on no confidence measures. his prime minister cabinet will have to step down and the bill would be killed. not thought that would happen. that could be worse for life in france. that could trigger more protests. trains and schools disrupted as the french seem to be going kicking and screaming into the 21st century. back to you. >> john: what a concept. retiring at the age of 64? perish the thought. thank you. >> dana: fox news alert. fox news cameras were rolling as a group of chinese nationals crossed illegally into the u.s. at the southern border in texas over the weekend. border officials say it is part of a growing trend.

welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> john: great to spend an hour with you. i'm john roberts in for bill hemmer this week. he has time off. border patrol agents say chinese migrant apprehensions are up more than 900%. rick scott is sounding the alarm. >> americans should be frustrated and fed up with the federal government now to have a completely open southern border. we know the communist party of china wants to destroy us whether spy balloon, tiktok, chinese drones. now we have chinese coming across the southern border. we have to assume the worst. >> dana: new this morning fox news was there as border agents caught a group of migrants from columbia. retired border patrol chief rodney scott is standing by. let's get to griff jenkins live in mission, texas this morning. you saw it all this weekend, griff. >> that's right, good morning, dana and john.

there is a reason why border patrol's chief ortiz was testifying at the rgb last week saying that they do not have operational control of this border and we got a firsthand look this morning. shortly after 4:00 a.m. let's go right to the new tape of these columbians that they apprehended. nine columbians here all single adults. some men and some women. i asked one of them who spoke english how much they paid the smuggler to cross. he said $1800 apiece. that was the first group of the morning. then shortly after that about 30 minutes later those that want to be gotaways trying to evade capture we went running through the brush as border patrol agents with dogs pursued and apprehended three mexican nationals. they said they did not pay, although officials say that is usually not the case. then you talked about the chinese. let me show you brand-new video.

i encountered a group of five chinese who gave themselves up. found the border patrol officials and turned themselves in. but it is a daily occurrence ever since i've been here since thursday i have seen chinese migrants being apprehended. we shot video over the weekend chinese migrants walking up to my camera. border patrol chief here saying they are seeing a 920% increase in the chinese nationals. all of this paints the picture of why representatives like florida's laurel lee says it's out of control. listen here. >> his policies at the border aren't just a failure. they are an unmitigated disaster. we heard testimony we lack operational control. our border isn't secure and as a consequence, mexican drug cartels are using our southern border to bring fentanyl and human trafficking into the united states. >> in a final note there is the

national security component, of course, many migrants hitting the f.b.i. terror watch list. with these chinese most of them don't speak english so it is hard to know exactly who they are, why they are here and what their background is. >> dana: border agents also encountering 16 f.b.i. terror watch list suspects at the southern border last month alone. the "new york post" cover calling it terror at the border and noting watch lists arrest this year are on track to surpass the record total for fiscal year 2022. let's bring in retired border patrol chief rodney scott. the terror watch list, how important is that for department of homeland security to be able to make sure that we're doing what we need to do to keep americans safe? >> thank you for having me on critically important. we have a short memory unfortunately. after 9/11 the united states government put a lot of effort

into identifying people associated with terrorists and actual terrorists around the world. cdp put a lot of effort into making sure that information was in the databases and if it was a known, only if it was known, that's important an individual coming across the border had some kind of record when we fingerprinted and photographed him it would ping and bring other resources to bear to interview that individual and try to keep america safe. two things i knowed to point out. one, they only hit in the database if we as a united states government have information that they don't want america to succeed that they are associated with terrorism and when we apprehend them. there are huge loopholes in boat of those. we don't have information about everybody and as you just saw with griff down there once again the border is out of control and we are losing hundreds of thousands of people that we have no idea who they are into this country every single day. that's the bigger threat. >> dana: let's show everybody the numbers to make sure it sticks in the mind here.

the numbers of terrorists on the watch list screening that encountered year by year in 2021 was 15. 98 in 2022 and already year-to-date for 2023, 69. those are the ones we caught. i'm concerned about those. when we talk about terror watch list, that could be somebody who was affiliated with al qaeda, sure. could it also include people, for example, former gorillas working in columbia and do we not need to be as concerned about them as we would about al qaeda who has declared they want to kill western civilization and americans? >> so you are accurate. the terrorist watch list is a broad term and people that we've identified as supporting terrorism or actual terrorists around the world. there are codes behind it that actually break them down into the threat they pose to the united states. but how you started the segment

is the most important part. we don't get to have that discussion at all if we don't interdict people crossing the border, put their fingerprints on a scanner and take a picture of them. currently the border is wide open and we don't get a chance to decide how big of a threat is this individual to the country when we don't even encounter them at all. those are the people paying more to be in the second wave trying to get away. they are hiding behind this mass migration and this asylum fraud. >> dana: how much do you worry about the northern border versus the southern? >> i worry about the northern border tremendously. historically there has been more of an actual terrorism threat on the northern border just because some of canada's immigration laws and people take reside in canada. northern border is pretty vast and wide open. the big difference is we have a great relationship with the rcmp and we share information with them and do joint patrols on the border. we have a little more of a heads-up. it is a vast, open border and

never had people like we do today flying from other countries into canada just for the sole purpose of crossing into the united states. but if you've watched the numbers, there is a 500% increase and detailing people at the northern border because it is such a threat. >> dana: that's in new hampshire. good to see you, rodney. >> good to see you. have a great day. >> i'm calling for an independent investigation of the fed and the whole regulatory system here. i'm calling for the fed right now to reverse its weakened regulations and to bear down to look at these banks with much more scrutiny. >> john: strong words from elizabeth warren after the failure of banks. all of this ahead of the week's fed interest rate decision. the central bank begins its two-days meeting tomorrow weighing the bank crisis against

the labor marked -- market and inflation that remains high. this is a difficult line to walk. >> it is. one the fed chairman is trying to walk. the consensus of the market is there will be a rate increase of a quarter of a percentage point. 70% believe in the increase. 30% say no increase at all. if you ask economists and market watchers two weeks ago they would have said the decision of half% and quarter percent. what changed was the bank failures. the federal reserve is trying to get inflation under control while holding this stability now of the community banking system together. chief economic advisor says the way the fed handled the interest rate hikes has been the biggest mistake they made in 40 years adding the banks that failed prove it. >> three things came together in the perfect storm. one is mismanagement by svb.

two is losses in supervision. a bank that grew enormously under the nose of the federal reserve and they didn't pay enough attention. the third issue that is impacting us well beyond the banking system, one of the worst policy mistakes by the federal reserve in the way it has handled the interest rate increases. >> we see a lot of criticism the way the federal reserve has handled the rise in inflation. some say the fed needs to be more forceful. they need to cut spending. other believes the fed chairman should have raised rates higher faster. >> no matter what they do it will be the wrong thing to do. their track record shows that they are completely incompetent in making the right decisions. >> the federal reserve two-day meeting starts tomorrow. we get a decision on the rate hike if there is one on wednesday. >> john: edward lawrence from the white house. thank you. >> dana: the u.s. could soon enter unchartered territory. donald trump says he expects to

be arrested tomorrow. that would make him the first former president indicted in our nation's history. bryan llenas is live in the new york city newsroom with the latest. good morning. >> good morning. if the former president is indicted, his attorney says trump will surrender and they will follow normal procedures. first 12 out of the 23 people on the grand jury will have to vote to indict trump. the former president will then be notified to surrender to the manhattan district attorney's office. fingerprinted, photographed for his mug shot and receive a dna cheek swab for the state database. at that point it is possible trump could appear in a manhattan criminal courtroom in the same building or a judge could waive his appearance. he could be walked down a hallway past the press corps that leads to the courtroom and could be in handcuffs. trump would receive a physical copy of his indictment and be arraigned on the charges before

a judge. decisions about handcuffs and perp walk are made by alvin bragg in coordination with the secret service. intra agency security meeting is taking place to discuss how to protect the former president during this entire process. this morning nypd trucks were seen unloading barriers outside the courthouse. fox news confirms a former legal advisor to trump's attorney michael cohen is set to testify before the grand jury this afternoon. he is testifying at the request of trump's lawyers. cohen is a star witness against trump and costello is expected to cast doubt on his credibility. cohen is called in to be a rebuttal witness and trump has denied any wrongdoing. >> the unruly nature of too many in the presence of guns has created a peril that cannot go

unchecked especially in the evening. >> dana: the city of miami beach, florida inposing a curfew for spring break after two deadly shootings in recent days. the mayor joins us next. >> john: new warning from the u.s. military. isis-k could strike u.s. assets abroad in less than six months. details on that frightening prediction and reaction from our benjamin hall coming up. >> extremist groups see opportunity and isis seeks to expand its ranks and direct attacks in the region and beyond with the ultimate goal to strike on the american homeland. soul of north alabama, here on our family farm. then we partner with family owned mills from maine to mississippi to manufacture our cotton into quality american made fabrics that become our heirloom inspired bedding, towels, blankets and apparel. experience our 100% american made luxury linens for yourself.

>> john: well, rampant crime in her city has prompted a complete 180 for san francisco supervisor

hillary ronan begging for more police after voting to defund the department in 2020. back then she said i want to make it clear i believe in reducing the number of officers on our force. now she says this. >> i've been begging this department to give the mission what it deserves in terms of police presence all year long and told time and time and time and time again there are no officers that we can send to mission and then i see these numbers protecting shoppers and it hurts. it hurts. i feel betrayed by the department. i feel betrayed by the mayor. i feel betrayed by the priorities of this city. >> john: imagine now constituents feel. mayor cut police funding in 2020 but requested more funding a

year later. there is a staffing shortage. >> dana: amazing. authorities in miami beach declaring a staved emergency and imposing a curfew to try to -- it follows two deadly shootings over the weekend. the mayor of miami beach will join us in a minute. first to phil keating live in miami beach this morning. how are things looking there? >> very quiet and rainy and chilly this morning. the scene doesn't get rocking until later in the afternoon. you know, the state of emergency was declared yesterday after the deadly shootings marred what had been a peaceful and calm spring break month of march. this is ocean drive, iconic where the parade of people and tourists pour out especially after dark. it is also now two crime scenes after two deadly shootings in two nights. 3:30 a.m. sunday morning surveillance video shows two groups of people walking on the sidewalk towards each other when

suddenly one man pulls out a gun and shot a man several times. one suspect has been arrested and the shooting does not appear to be random but targeted. last night people were jumping on cars. police cleared out ocean drive in the south beach entertainment district as curfew. no one is allowed outside from midnight to 6:00 a.m. there was a stop on the sidewalk and watch as firefighters sprayed the blood off the sidewalk and into the street. the third straight year the city is imposing a curfew for south beach. we watched saturday as police stopped a group of people openly smoking pop and drinking hard liquor in the street at 4:00 in the afternoon. last year a couple of shootings led to a midnight curfew. the year after similar violence led to an 8:00 p.m. curfew. the hotels, restaurants and bars

and clubs don't really like the curfew because they make a lot of money in the month of march. each week is a new wave of spring breakers from all over the country but also a lot of people driving in from miami-dade county as well. the mayor says since march began, they have confiscated more than 70 guns. dana. >> dana: phil keating in miami. hope it gets sunnier for you today. >> john: the mayor of miami beach is here. we appreciate it and you know you have a meeting at 4:00 to determine the way forward. do you expect another curfew will be put in place for this coming weekend as we saw overnight sunday into this morning? >> i think there is a pretty good chance that we'll extend the curfew from thursday to monday of this weekend. we don't want spring break.

the two shootings you referred to there were police on the scene within seconds, arrests were made within minutes but still not deterring the misbehavior. >> john: we were talking off camera. i lived in miami some 33 years ago. back then miami beach was just starting its rebirth but now it has become this center of nightlife and good times and fashion. the city is promoting an image that is an attraction. why wouldn't people want to go there for spring break? >> we are clearly a hospitality center and there are a million wonderful ways to have fun and enjoy our city. we have great restaurants and museums. super bowl. everybody knows it is a great place to visit. spring break is a different kind of vacationer. every city in florida that has had a spring break and i think we're the only one that didn't

ask for it, has tried to stop it because young tens of thousands of party-goers who want a rite of passage doesn't work for our city. we have a residential city. >> john: not your jackie gleason's miami beach anymore. we were joined by a local business owner mitch who owns a hotel. you are familiar with him. he was highly critical of the state of emergency. listen to what he said. >> the unruly nature of too many and the presence of guns has created a peril that cannot go unchecked. especially in the evening. >> john: that wasn't mitch. that was you. >> that was me. >> john: do we have the sound bite from mitch? we don't. he said this would be our fourth what has been annual consecutive

emergency declaration for me as a hotel owner. my client tell is an international crowd and hurts me to provide them with refunds when they tell me they have nothing to do when they depart early. this is the fourth year in a row. highly disruptive to my neighbors as well. nobody claims the city of miami beach allows these music and concert venues another big attraction to pull people in at night. what do you say to him? >> we have tried every possible approach to either get rid of spring break, to try to organize some of the people that are here. tens of thousands of people come here every night. maybe more and we don't ask for them. sometimes we try to program so they are just not in a huge block party which ultimately happens. but we aren't seeking a spring break. i understand why some of the hotel and restaurant owners would rather not have a curfew. at the end of the day we cannot

-- we cannot balance public safety with business. and i'm sorry to say that but it is just true. people are getting shot in the streets we'll act. that's just the way it is. >> john: no question about that. if you do announce -- if the vote is for a curfew starting thursday night, do you think it will keep a lid on the spring breakers this weekend? >> it is the best we can do. it's a tinder when you see tens of thousands of people drinking and smoking and you start arresting you get bad bounces. worse when there are guns involved you get something far more sinister. >> the mayor of miami beach. good to catch up with you. thank you very much. >> we were doing counter terrorism. that was great. focused on foreign influence campaigns. that was great. now we're taking these tools and turning them inward on the american people so we have to push back. >> dana: the twitter files

revealing a stunning cover-up. how the feds and big tech sensored americans about covid. south carolina in the spotlight. former governor nikki haley and senator tim scott have a hometown showdown ahead of what could be a face-off. >> don't ever let them that republicans and democrats don't agree on something. they love to waste your money. oh, my daughter gives the best hugs! we're just passing through on our way to the jazz jamboree.

projects. strain forward's project financed by the federal government told twitter that true stories that could fuel hesitancy the closure of a central new york school due to reports of post vaccine illness should be considered standard vaccine misinformation on your platform. he adds in one email to twitter the project addressed what it called the vaccine passport narrative saying concerns over such programs have driven a larger anti-vaccination narrative about the loss of rights and freedoms. this was framed as a misinformation event. one former big tech employee drawing this conclusion. >> the biggest takeaway from this is that a bunch of experts got together and decided that the american people couldn't handle the truth especially if the actual truth conflicted with the narrative. >> one medical expert says his concern is people have lost confidence in public health officials and may not listen

next time. >> medicine right now is tribal. we have lost trust in public health officials because they've basically lied to us when they should have given us the answer we don't know. and covid ultimately had a case fatality rate of somewhere around 2/10 of 1%. >> he found the project teaming up with other contractors sent weekly anti-vax disinformation reports to twitter and others. >> america is not racist. we're blessed. our children need to know to love her, they need to know to love america and know she is worth get e fighting for. >> there is this thing in america today where the radical left are trying to get folks hooked on the drug of victimhood. and the narcotic of despair. it is ruining america.

>> john: they made the rounds in their home state of south carolina on saturday. she is already a 2024 presidential candidate and he is widely expected to enter the race at some point. they spoke at a forum kicking the tires of a potential showdown for the republican presidential nomination next year. both the candidates are well liked in their home state of south carolina. both of them also have a big hill to climb when it comes to heading toward the nomination. >> they are both underdogs trying to get some traction early on. haley already a candidate, scott may get into the race. the challenge is that they are selling a very optimistic message. a traditionally conservative message when the base of the republican party is much more populist. a lot more angry than i think some of their messaging has sounded lately. the challenge is can they catch fire with a traditional republican message?

the other challenge is you have haley, the home state favorite in south carolina. tim scott is one of the most popular republicans in south carolina. they both have a similar message. they are shadow boxing at these campaign events early on but they are also competing for the same number of supporters and donors. so if there is a lane, an opportunity for different type of republican candidate, they are dividing a lot of the support amongst themselves right now. >> john: a lot can happen in terms of candidates rising and falling in a campaign but could either of them take on ron desantis. if you are a republican says time to move on from former president donald trump, do you need to look any further than ron desantis? >> there are a lot of questions about ron desantis's ability to with stand all the criticisms in a tough presidential campaign. we'll see where ron desantis lands on a lot of the top issues. he got into some trouble lately by taking a more isolationist

view on ukraine as opposed to the traditional republican views like haley and scott articulated. there will be opportunity for other republicans to get in and draw contrasts with both trump and desantis. desantis is the elephant in the room. he is both him and trump are taking 2/3 of the republican primary vote. but if desantis ends up not living up to expectations there is room for a lot of other accomplished republicans to get in the race and compete. >> john: in terms of issues that republicans will be looking ahead toward in 2024, this issue of wokeism is a big one. ron desantis said florida is a place where woke comes to die. jen psaki, former president secre secretary debuted her new show. >> for republicans, wokeness is public enemy number one. by the sound of it there is no greater there et to american

liberty. whether or not they actually believe it they believe it is a winning message and makes you think are they on to something? my gut here is no, you don't need to be too worried about the war on woke. the crusade against wokeness may not be as potent a campaign issue as they hope. >> john: i don't know if there is an accurate read. look what happened to members of school board in san francisco and you are making the point as we were chatting there is woke the word and policy. >> good luck with that advice. the one issue that unites the republican party these days is the fight against woke policies, very culturally progressive left wing excess. there was a poll that jen psaki cited on her show saying woke isn't as negative a term as some people think in this poll. the same poll asked all the different policies that people consider woke.

so critical race theory, 53% of americans oppose critical race theory. 61% of americans oppose the use of gender-neutral pronouns. all the issues that drive a lot of americans mad are the very woke policies that she thinks are good for the democratic party to talk about. republicans will continue fighting this war on woke and they will probably win a lot of swing voters because of it. if the democrats don't course correct. >> john: you would think given her experience she would look into the cross tabs. >> crime is an issue, too. democrats joined with republicans in attacking d.c.'s very sort on crime policies. you see that in actions more than spin. >> john: a lot to look forward to in the months ahead. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: so team usa heading to

the finals of the world baseball classic after beating cuba 14-2 last night. >> hammers this ball down the left field line. that one is gone. team usa takes the lead. >> dana: st. louis cardinal slugger blasted a two-are unhomer to give the americans a 2-1 lead and never looked back. the phillies turner hit two homers after his grand slam helped launch the u.s. into the semifinals. the u.s. faces the winner of the japan/mexico game. the championship game is tomorrow night. >> dana: you bet you were glut to the tv on sports this weekend. >> john: my 12-year-old son has a passion for basketball. do you think it will be the u.s. against japan for the final? >> dana: i'll take that, absolutely. >> john: that will be interesting to watch. u.s. military officials sounding the alarm that isis in afghanistan could strike u.s. assets within six months.

terror group is expanding since the u.s. withdrew from afghanistan. our own benjamin hall once interviewed members of isis-k. he is here and joins us coming up next. >> you joined a group that murdered, tortured. you have to take some responsibility. >> i take responsibility. i told you i would have been there dying right now. i'm not apologetic to something i believe in. trefunds.com can see if it may qualify for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee. all it takes is eight minutes to get started. then work with professionals to assist your business with its forms and submit the application. go to getrefunds.com to learn more.

>> john: is u.s. military with a warning about terror group isis k-, the commander says the isis affiliate could strike u.s. assets or western allies in less than six months. senior national correspondent rich edson with more on this. they're back again. >> we've seen them before. the head of united states central command says afghanistan is six months away from develop the capability to attack american and western targets with little or no warning. this is the same group the pentagon says is responsible forare the suicide bombing in 2021 outside the airport in kabul that killed more than a dozen u.s. service members and 170 civilians. general issued the warning last week as congress examines

terrorist groups in afghanistan after the biden administration withdrew u.s. forces from the country in 2021. >> if you assess six months against europe or asia, what would be the timeline against the homeland. >> i assess they could in as little as six months with little to no warning . ill oh he talk about that in the closed session. >> the warning centered on attacks in asia and europe. he says it would be more difficult for the group to attack the united states directly. intelligence officials gave a similar six-month timeline in october of 2021. republicans warned of terror suspect crossing the southern border. >> they know how to get into our country and know what they need to do. >> customs and border protection officials tell fox news they've stopped seven people on the terror watch list at the southern border in the first five months of the fiscal year that began in october.

previously administration officials pointed out they have apprehended those on the watch list. john. >> john: rich, thank you. appreciate it. >> dana: a reporter face-to-face with isis-k fighters benjamin hall. i'm glad you are here to talk about this. just because we pulled out of afghanistan in 2021 does not mean that isis-k doesn't want to still attack us. they are planning to do so? >> this is one of the dangers. we pull out of after & focus moves to chinaened a russia. when you do that you look at some of the other threats out there. isis-k operating in afghanistan, a broke and starving and freezing country now and growing in strength and they have one goal, to continue attacking the u.s., nato, western allies and also china. this is a country where the u.s. doesn't have a lot of intelligence. they pulled out. we haven't seen any attacks since i think august of 2021. so there is a big question now what they are planning, where

they want to attack and important to try to keep as much intelligence and eyes on afghanistan as possible. >> dana: we showed a clip before you came on of you interviewing an isis-k member. what did you take from that in terms of the determination they have and the hatred they have of our system? >> he was in syria and even having been sentenced, going to serve his life if prison, didn't regret it. was willing to go out and stand in the name of allah and continue bomb attacks. you can keep whacking them down but they keep coming up again. isis-k is focused on attacking china as well. >> dana: what is that about? >> they think china is an ally of the taliban and attacking all chinese positions in afghanistan as well. the chinese government said all chinese people had to get out of afghanistan in december of last year because they're worried about the threat. they are looking at attacking almost everyone around him trying to create a call fate.

whoever gets in their way they'll attack. >> dana: what about europe's position here? do you think the european allies and britts help us to make sure we get the intelligence? >> i think the intelligence will be hard to get to be frank. you have isis-k developed in afghanistan but home grown terrorists across europe and huge communities in belgium and france that are still there and have the old muslim ideology. you have to watch at home as well. i think there is a big shift to move to china and russia but don't forget the terror group whose sole purpose is to attack us. >> dana: then you have saudi inviting the iranians to say we'll let you back into the fold? >> they know the u.s. is perhaps not going to stand alongside them. they have seen what the biden

administration has done. they haven't cracked down in iran. saudi arabia has decided that they have to do this themselves. if that means bringing assad back into the fold and forgetting the crimes he committed in that country they'll do that. they don't feel they can rely on the current u.s. government to stand and defend them. it is about countering iran. that's why our allegiance were in the middle east. our allies are worried we won't do that for them. >> dana: how fortunate we are to have you. to have you and your knowledge and wisdom, your reporting, it's incredible for us. what an asset and wish you well on your way home. >> thank you. >> john: how amazing is it just to have him here. safe travels, benjamin. >> kim's regime simulating a nuclear attack on south korea. a pilot forced to take drastic
