lagers. >> you are hurting my heart. we need to take her fishing. >> bud light is really good, i don't know why it's funny. i like my ipa in a can from tampa, florida called jailai. >> it tastes like tobacco. >> it's made in cigar city. >> cheers you all. thanks for watching. here is "america reports." >> john: am i awake? fox news alert, female athletes nationwide asking the supreme court to step in and protect women's sports saying they should not have to compete against biological males. >> sandra: it's a huge story, and deciding athletes who have gone through male puberty cannot compete with women. will the decision impact how women sports are played here at home? we will ask holly and riley who

have been leading this effort to protect women's sports coming up. >> john: fox news alert, waiting an update in the pentagon after another suspected iranian missile strike targeting a u.s. military base in syria. hello, i'm john roberts in washington. sandra, we made it to friday. >> sandra: we did, the afternoon will hold a lot of news. we'll watch for the pentagon briefing. this is "america reports." tensions between the u.s. and iran turning deadly during three separate incidents in syria in the past 24 hours. a suspected iranian drone hit a coalition base in northeast syria, killing an american contractor and wounding five u.s. service members. the pentagon says president biden ordered airstrikes in retaliation, going after iranian-backed forces in eastern syria. >> john: and a new wave of missile strikes targeted another u.s. military base. iran's deadly attack on

americans comes at the same time president biden faces growing criticism of his handling of the middle east. yesterday the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff told congress iran is on the cusp of being able to complete a nuclear weapon. >> sandra: fox team coverage begins now. karl rove is standing by. first, chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin on what defense officials are saying about this. jennifer. >> sandra, brigadier general ryder will be taking questions from the press corps in an hour's time. the pentagon putting out a statement blaming iran for killing a u.s. citizen and targeting u.s. service members. a u.s. contractor was killed when an iranian drone crashed into a maintenance facility on a u.s. based shared with the kurdish syrian defense forces in northeast syria on thursday. two american service members were treated on-site. three additional troops and the

u.s. contractor were medically evacuated to coalition medical facilities in iraq. the u.s. response was swift. president biden directed defense secretary lloyd austin to launch precision airstrikes against facilities used by iran's revolutionary guard corps. secretary austin said the precision strikes are intended to protect and defend u.s. personnel. and iran proxy forces launched ten rockets near green village in eastern syria. an official tells fox there are no u.s. casualties and no damage to the base. there are about 900 u.s. troops in syria fighting isis. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley issued this warning of tehran becoming a possible nuclear power yesterday. >> iran could produce material

for a nuclear weapon in two weeks, and several months for an active weapon. the united states as a matter of policy iran will not have a fielded nuclear weapon and we have developed multiple options for a national leadership to consider if or when iran ever decides to develop an actual nuclear weapon. >> this brazen attack by iranian-backed forces poses a significant challenge to the white house which was caught flatfooted earlier when china brokered a reconciliation deal between iran and saudi arabia and a day after china and russia vowed to join forces to create a new world order while meeting in moscow. sandra. >> sandra: jennifer griffin live at the pentagon as we await the briefing. thank you. >> john: bring in karl rove, former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor. united states has blamed iran for the drone attack yesterday.

based on that, is it time to shut the proxies down once and for all and to punish iran directly. >> it is time to punish iran, a response i suspect hurt the iranians far worse than they had been able to injure americans. but yes, this is -- this is going to continue to be a problem and proportional response is necessary. we know there are lots of iranians active in syria. we know where they are, we know what they have at their disposal. we probably monitor their communication so we know who some of the hierarchy, where they are and what they are up to and i think they have just been sent a message you do this again and you are going to suffer worse, far worse than any you inflict on americans. >> john: dana talked to nikki haley this morning. >> it shows what happens when there is american weakness. whether it's in afghanistan, ukraine, whether you see it on the southern border, you are going to see more of these

things. last week, here you had the russians, they shot down a u.s. drone. what did biden do? nothing. when you do nothing, when you show weakness in any area they will do more. >> john: karl, given everything bubbling up in the world these days, how big an issue is foreign policy going to be in 2024? >> i think it's going to be a big issue. actors, russia invading ukraine, or north korea threatening south korea and japan with missile launches or china in the south china sea and in the far indo-pacific arena threatening american interests or allies, or iran threatening the u.s. presence in syria on behalf of the regime, and threatening israeli, saudi arabia, friends and allies in the region, we have adversaries around the

world who think we are weak and they are going to probe and if at all possible exploit those weaknesses. >> john: 2024, president biden did not get news from an new a.p. poll, just 38% approval rating. put that up on the screen. take a look at the drop from february where he was at 45%. he is in ottawa right now meeting with justin trudeau who actually has a lower approval rating, his is 37%. but it's a long way, karl, to fall in just a month. >> yeah. well, and look, we have to be a little bit cautious, it's one poll. but if you step back and look at the pattern, two perspectives. what's been happening recently. if you look at the averages, biden improved in december, then flat lined in mid january, after about 5 or 6 weeks where he was sort of slightly moving up, then he recovered in late february, began a little bit moved back up and then began to decline in

early march in the polling averages. and that ain't good news. but here's the worse news. remember this, he has been upside down, that is to say his unfavorables have been higher than his favorables since august of 2021. and it began in the late spring where his favorables began to decline and unfavorables began to rise and they crossed, maybe coincidentally, probably not, about the time of the withdrawal from afghanistan and never been above water since then. negatives have always been higher than his positives and that's an unusual place to be for as long as you are in your first term. so he is gonna run for re-election, they say, but he's going to be running from a relatively weak base, means he needs to have -- do everything he can to damage his likely republican opponent and likely to hope that the republicans nominate the weakest possible candidate to go against him. his numbers are bad, and remember, they began to go south

when he was talking about oh, i've got the american rescue plan and build back better and then passed the inflation reduction act and they continued to go down and then we had the attack in afghanistan which put him underwater and he's never been able to get back where his favorables are higher than his negatives. >> john: when you consider we are anticipating in the next 2, 3 weeks he's going to announce his re-elect, the timing is not exactly great. hope you enjoy your weekend. >> thank you. >> john: one thing to be underwater in the polls, another things in the marianna trench, appears where biden is these days. >> sandra: and so many crisis on the plate. >> john: and biden's approval rating on the economy in the latest a.p. poll, if you can throw it up, 31%. not a lot of people trust him on

the economy, even though he says everything is coming up roses. >> sandra: yep, and as that inflation continues at multi-decade highs, credit card interest rates are going up, so if you are having to use a credit card to buy the groceries, just about everything is costing the american people more and that's tough, tough to give a good rating on the economy, john. more on that coming up. meanwhile, president biden is in ottawa meeting with prime minister justin trudeau. this is an inflation -- sorry immigration story. expected to announce a new immigration agreement that would allow both countries to turn away migrants who cross the northern border illegally. meantime, the southern border, dramatic reminder of the violence fueled by the migrant crisis there. fbi called into a hostage situation that quickly turned deadly. alexis mcadams is live in mission, texas. how did the rescue operation go? >> hi, sandra, it went ok. they got the two migrants out,

but that was after they were badly beaten and held hostage for hours inside that houston hotel, one example of the chaos here at the southern border and some of the immigrations plaguing the administration, not just here in texas. as you just mentioned, president biden is in ottawa, canada meeting with the -- justin trudeau, the canadian prime minister. coming to an agreement that could help curve the number of migrants illegally entering into the u.s. and canada on a daily basis. thousands have side stepped the immigration requirement by avoiding the points of entry there. the crossings at the northern border do not compare to the southern border. fox drone team spotting a group of about 20 migrants crossing into eagle pass, texas just this morning, and it happens pretty much every single day. as border patrol tries to keep up here, the fbi was involved in a migrant hostage situation out in houston, texas. the hostage rescue happened on

thursday inside this houston motel. >> agents with the fbi's hostage rescue team from virginia were conducting a hostage rescue when a shooting occurred. one suspect was shot and killed. and a second suspect was taken into custody by the harris county sheriff's department. >> and speaking of rescues, this video shows a 1-year-old guatemalan boy left by a smuggler on the side of the colorado river there, just dropped on the river's edge. a cbp agent came to his rescue and took him away. they were posing together after they were able to bring the child to safety. back out here live in texas, another trend to keep an eye on, different than last time. eagle pass here in this area of texas, seeing a large number of chinese nationals crossing in pretty much daily into this area, and this sector, just in the last 24 hours, a group of about 30 or so.

sandra. >> sandra: alexis mcadams, mission, texas, thank you very much. john. >> john: protests raging again in france following one of the most violent nights of unrest so far. the country's interior minister says more than 400 people were arrested yesterday as protestors railed against plans to raise the retirement age by two years, from 62 to age 64. the turmoil facing britain's king charles to postpone his first state visit to the country. that was supposed to begin on sunday. now it's been postponed indefinitely. sandra. >> sandra: thank you, john. and she is officially on the witness list, but when will gwyneth paltrow take the stand in her own defense. the actress on trial for allegedly crashing into another skier on the slopes and then speeding away. the very latest from that

courtroom coming up. >> we are featuring beautiful things from the land and the sea and as you see on the first course, we have some butter poached maine lobster. >> john: and months after that controversial course at a state dinner with french president macron, president biden still getting broiled for unfairly targeting maine's lobster industry with environmental regulations. democratic congressman jared gulden says biden is being hypocritical. he'll make his case next. ♪♪ all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're providing greater access to investing, with low-cost options to help maximize savings. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future.

>> john: federal appeals court blocking president biden's mandate requiring covid vaccines for some 3.5 million federal workers. president originally issued the executive order in september of 2021 and a district judge blocked it in january of last year. a three-judge panel reinstated the mandate last april. yesterday, the fifth circuit court of appeals reversed it ruling there is no constitutional basis for requiring federal employees to be vaccinated. >> as you see on the first coarse, we have some butter poached maine lobsters. we have to honor our lobstermen from maine, they had to ship 200 live lobsters to us. >> sandra: you may remember president biden's big fancy state dinner of maine lobster with the french president macron, but a democrat lawmaker is accusing the president of hypocrisy, saying regulations of his administration are crushing

the lobster industry. bring in maine congressman jared golden. why do you believe the administration is targeting the lobster industry in your state? >> well, the first thing i want to point out is that thankfully, because of the work that i put in along with my colleagues from maine down here in congress, the two senators, senator collins and senator king and also congresswoman pengry, we have a six-year freeze on new regulations against the maine lobster industry. four years we have been fighting against very unjust, misguided efforts to regulate the fishery to such a degree it would cause them to go out of business if not collapse the industry itself. >> sandra: the first couple years of this democratic administration you say that he has unfairly and unjustly been targeting the industry. what sort of regulations have

been imposed that have been stifling the fishermen in your state? >> listen, i think it's an important point. to be fair, i have been critical of president biden over the last couple of years in regards to what his government, what the, noaa is trying to do is the fishery. before biden, it was the trump administration. its been going on for 4 or 5 or so years, and no matter who was in the white house, our efforts to raise awareness about the issue has largely been ignored by the bureaucracy. you know, to try and explain this to people is pretty complex but i'll keep it as simple as i can. the government is trying to protect right whales, endangered species. they have developed certain risk modelling, use different al -- algorithms. they have no evidence that would

prove that the fishery has been responsible for any whale deaths. in the face of the absence of evidence, they have still tried to regulate the fishery to the point as i said before that it would literally shut down the fishery and drive people out of business, it would devastate entire communities along the maine coast. >> sandra: you look at the impact of the lobster industry in your state, 98 million pounds caught in 2022 alone, that is a $388 million industry. this is a huge part of tourism your state. we were looking at recent polling that showed a majority of tourists come for the lobster, so it has a huge impact. this was a lobsterman talking to jeff flock, a reporter here at fox and fox business about the strain from the regulations, listen. >> all these factors are working against us. we do a good job to try to conserve our industry and be

sustainable, but the outside factors are working against us. no scientific data that show the area needs to be shut down. a huge loss to the guys that fish that area and that's their big time of the year, that's what gets them through the winter. >> sandra: ok, so you have tried to address this with the current administration. you are a democrat, the president is a democrat. are they hearing you? obviously you just said you've got a freeze on any new regulations going forward. are they honoring your requests to take back in some cases what they have listed as lobster to avoid, to major industry purchasers of the lobsters? >> look, the six-year freeze is because of the hard work of the maine delegation in the united states congress and of groups like the maine lobster association and maine lobster union which pushed hard and fought for that. no, they have not made any commitment to rolling back any regulations that they had put

into place prior to that freeze, and those new regulations were also onerous and misguided. this is the crux of the issue. they don't have any physical evidence that would prove that the fishery is responsible for the death of any right whales. and our argument is if you don't have the evidence you shouldn't be able to regulate. >> sandra: and quick to follow up, i know you said onnerous regulations under the previous administration as well, but we are told the newest regulations were added in 2021, the ones to which you have referencing have stifled business, is that correct? >> i think that they have ratcheted it up, correct. but it is definitely, you got to be realistic. the fishery has been under pressure by the government under the trump administration, under the biden administration. >> sandra: and the obama administration, i reported on it many, many times. the red lines made it very difficult from so many of these commercial fishermen. congressman, we have to leave it

there. sorry, five seconds to finish that up. >> well, i think the most important thing for viewers to know is the maine lobster fishery is not responsible for any right whale deaths for attributed entanglementes in over 20 years. >> sandra: we'll follow the story, it affects a lot of people, he is st. louis there in maine. >> john: a law professor demanding stanford students who shouted down a conservative judge face consequences at the california bar. punishment? training on a basic constitutional right. shannon bream joins us with reaction to that, plus this. >> transgender athletes should not be competing in the female category. there is insufficient evidence that trans women do not retain advantage. >> sandra: world athletics banning transgender women from competing in female competitions. ncaa all american swimmer riley

says look, no simple solution, no easy answers, and all of this aims, it hopes the changes will be able to protect female competition. the first change will ban athletes who went through male puberty from competing in female world ranking competitions. the second change, lower the plasma testosterone from 5 to 2.5. still higher than the average woman according to the national institute of health. under these guidelines, athletes will need to undergo hormone suppressing treatment for six months in order to compete. the second rule will impact far more people, like christine who won silver in the 2020 olympics or kasor, and they were born girls and have medical conditions which causes some male traits. transgender groups and transgender athletes are firing

back blasting this move. >> hype out there, don't want transgender people to exist in our societal will take this as a win. >> now, world athletics is saying this decision was made after consultations with coaches, with athletes, with u.n. experts and transgender groups. it's not a done deal as it stands right now, they'll evaluate over the next 12 months and really decide the best way to move forward and what's the best possible solution in a very tricky conversation. john. >> john: alex hogan setting the stage for us. thank you. now turning it over to sandra for more. >> sandra: joining us now is riley gaines, 12 time ncaa all american swimmer, and amicus brief urging the supreme court to protect women's sports. riley, i'll get to you in a

moment. you've been a guest on this program before and your story has captured the nation. holly, the first we have heard from you. where do you stand on this fight going all the way to the supreme court. do you think you will see any change as a result and where do you stand on the matter? >> i'm very hopeful that we'll see change. i find it very unfair when males are allowed to compete in women's sports. there are scientific studies showing advantages that women just cannot overcome with any amount of training. >> sandra: and i know there was just a major female cyclist who said she's now going to quit, she said she's a major champion, multi-time champion, says she can no longer -- she can't train hard enough to beat someone, the transgender who just won in her sport. i want to get to you now, riley,

as far as this amicus brief that now we can put up on the screen the other notable athletes who have joined you and holly on this amicus brief. martina martinalova, olympic swimmers, olympic and world champion diver, there are major names signing on to make sure women's sports are protected. >> absolutely. it's so important. this is a matter of basic common sense and basic fairness. people will often label this as something that's anti-trans or exclusionary, but in reality it's not those things. it's pro woman and quite the contrary it's inclusive, and title ix was to stop discrimination on the basis of sex but in my sport, i was

discriminated on the basis of sex and seeing it as a common trend around the country of girls of all ages, all sports, all divisions. >> sandra: really interesting. and now the development with world athletics. holly, your take on what this means for the sport and for women's competitions. this is a new rule, just announced yesterday, impacts female athletes. they will now transgenders be banned from competing in female track and field events. this comes into force march 31, almost immediately, and will prohibit anyone who has gone through male puberty from being in ranking competitions. and male to female transgender athletes through male puberty. is this a step in the right direction, holly? >> it's a step in the right direction but it's something that needs to trickle down to all levels of sport because a

female at the elite level should not have, i guess, any privileges or differences than a female competing in a local sports level. female should only be competing against females no matter the level. and hopefully this is a first small step in getting there. i also want to point out that it does not exclude biological males from competing against other males. >> sandra: correct. and they acknowledge in this decision it was a difficult one. real quickly, i want to get your response to this, riley. this is trans community pushback on the issue, retired trans athlete and a 13-year-old arizona trans student. listen. >> there may be some politics sneaking into this. this decision does not align with, you know, the best practices of human rights. >> this bill is creating a

pointless and harmful solution to a nonexistent issue. it's an excuse to discriminate against transgender girls. >> sandra: your response to that, riley. final thought. >> my thought is how do we pick one group's mental health or identity or perception of one's self to value over another, because right now what we are seeing is we are catering to half a percent of the population at the expense of 51% of the population with us as female athletes being the collateral damage in the process. and like world athletics acknowledged there is no clear solution but this is a step in the right direction and this is a positive first step. >> sandra: riley, holly, you guys are speaking out and standing up for what you believe to be the right move with all of this and we appreciate you coming on here. we will definitely follow up with you. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> john: sandra, the house moments ago passing a bill to give parents more control over their child's education.

>> parents have the fundamental

right to direct the upbringing of their children. >> parental rights do not stop at the classroom door. we do not co-parent with the government. >> john: look who it is. mother of four slamming the biden doj during her riveting testimony on capitol hill yesterday claiming that the fbi was weaponized against parents who spoke out against their local school boards. this as the house passed the parents bill of rights act aims to give parents more rights inside their children's classrooms. joining us now is tiffany justice, co-founder of moms for liberty and one of the parents who testified yesterday. how was the experience? >> it was a wonderful experience. i was very happy to be able to represent our members in congress to be able to talk about the silencing of parents by the biden administration. >> john: so your testimony occurred as the judiciary committee came out with a report on the targeting of parents during the whole loudoun county school board dust-up. the report found no legitimate law enforcement basis for the attorney general's directive to

use federal law enforcement and counter terrorism resources to investigate school board-related threats. basically the committee says the doj in collusion with the national school boards association misused the authorities to go after parents. what does it say when the federal government is willing to team up with a political organization and misuse their authorities to go after parents who simply want a say in what their kids are doing in school? >> i think it shows the public education system is very worried that the balance of power is being disrupted. this was an effort by the nsba and i feel the teachers unions -- and i mentioned, why were riots in the streets but kids could not gather in classrooms so parents had a lot of hard questions for their school board members and board members did not want to have to answer the questions. >> john: we talk about school boards, unions and then talk about teachers.

i have found that literally to a person teachers have the best interests of the student at heart and they do whatever they can to move the students along. it's the bureaucracy that tends to become the problem. >> i served as a school board member, the teachers' union bargains for the teachers at the table, not in the classroom. i call them the k-12 cartel, i believe they are running the educational industrial complex and the teachers are losing out and the kids. >> john: yesterday the parents bill of rights passed here is what kevin mccarthy speaker of the house said after it was passed. >> no one is arguing parents should dictate what is being taught. but parents should be able to see their schools' curriculum, know what books are in the library and get timely notice about any plans to eliminate gifted and talented programs. >> john: you know, a lot of bad things happened during covid, kids were out of school for so long, so much lost learning

progress, but one of the good things was the parents got a chance to see what the kids were learning at school and then they became more interested in it and the more interested in it they became, the more they became targets of the establishment. i interviewed a woman a couple weeks ago who was targeted by their local chapter of the nea because she put in a legitimate freedom of information request to find out what the curriculum was for her daughter who was in kindergarten. >> covid lemonade. a lot of bad things happened during covid, and parents opening their eyes to what is happening in classes is important. parents have the fundamental right to direct your children's education. curriculum transparency is so important. >> john: as kevin mccarthy said, parents are not trying to dictate the curriculum, they just want to know and have a say what's going on. but democrats are saying this is really, really bad. listen to what ted lou said.

>> radical extreme provisions in the bill destroy students privacy and let other parents know about your child. >> john: speak to that. >> the idea there is radical extremism parents wanting to know what is going on in school is ridiculous. it's talking about other things other than parents rights. it's about time republicans and democrats come together on this issue. you know, we hope the senate will take up the parents bill of rights, this is a really great moment for bipartisanship in america. >> john: 1996 soccer moms propelled clinton to re-election, and george bush to re-election, see what happens in two years. >> sandra: actress gwyneth paltrow could take the stand to defend herself in the utah trial over the ski collision that allegedly left a man severely injured. will she be able to prove she is innocent? >> john: california the first
