this country you can say what you think and hold the beliefs you want but we have to respect the space for each other to do that. it is way down in the polling as well, the idea of tolerance. >> aishah: it is what i love most about this country. we can have discussions. thank you so much, shannon bream. we appreciate it. your new book out today. it will be another best seller i'm sure. thank you for being with us. >> thanks. >> bill: 10:00 a.m. in new york. fox news alert at the top of the hour. several hearings now underway on capitol hill. top military leaders in the hot seat as america faces growing challenges around the world. dhs secretary mayokas facing pointed questions about the raging border crisis. the senate banking committee looking into the recent collapse of two american banks. there is a house hearing digging into learning loss during the pandemic. all important topics. we watch all of it and we'll bring you headlines unfolding on the hill. to our top story this hour the

response kicking into high gear across america's south. a weekend of violent storms and deadly tornadoes. officials saying a full recovery in places like mississippi could take years. volunteers and nonprofits, including the american red cross, salvation army and samaritan's purse flooding into the area offering assistance, food and shelter. they need a lot of all of it. welcome, brand-new hour starts now. i'm bill hemmer. dana has time off this week. a big welcome to aishah. >> aishah: i'm aishah hosni. search and rescue operations are officially over in mississippi. now comes the harder part. officials turning to longer-term issues. we are talking about housing, food, public services. a task made even harder with local government buildings destroyed. they aren't even there. the offices are gone. many neighborhoods reduced to rubble. no power, no phones, no gas
7:02 am
stations, nothing. meanwhile survivors who lost everything telling their incredible stories. >> my husband opened the door. when i said cooler. he shoved us all in. just as he was closing the door he looked up and said i've seen the sky and that just let us know that the roof was gone and this was more serious than we could have imagined. >> aishah: it hits you to your core. take a look. more severe weather in the forecast through the week for some of the hardest-hit areas including mississippi, alabama and georgia. >> bill: jimmie burrow is the father of cincinnati quarterback joe burrow. standing outside his childhood home damaged in the storm and mississippi's governor tate reeves as where things begin this hour. thank you for your time. the death toll is 22 and 26. what update do you have at this
7:03 am
hour now, day three? >> thank you for having me on, bill. we have 21 confirmed fatalities in mississippi from the storm. there were four other fatalities that after a couple of days were determined they were not directly storm related but that's a huge loss of life in our state. we are now on day four and beginning to see more and more recovery activity taking place with individuals from our team and fema on the ground actually working on individual assistance for those individuals who have been hit, as well as local governmental units. whether the mayors and alterman or board of supervisors at the county level that are making decisions on public assistance and making sure that we're seeing progress being made there. obviously as you mentioned earlier, the return of power for as many residents as possible. we started yesterday morning
7:04 am
with 24,000 without power. we're down to about 8400 this morning. progress is being made every day. no day passes that we make enough progress. >> bill: this line about taking years to recover. talk more about that. mississippi unfortunately has some history, recent history about tornadoes and the amount of damage they cause to human life and structures. will it really take years after a storm of this size? >> well, it certainly takes a long time. it is one of the reasons that when secretary mayokas as well as fema administrator were here a couple of days ago we had a long conversation about housing and keep in mind this storm entered our state in the far western border over the mississippi river and didn't end, as you know, until monroe county in the northeastern corner of our state and the damage occurred in both of those places in amory and rolling fork but occurred in a lot of places
7:05 am
in between. varying degrees and levels of damage. but yes, in a place like rolling fork where literally everything was completely knocked down to the ground it will take a long time and require intermediate steps such as finding ways in which to provide housing. because in areas that are more densely populated you have the options of hotels or the options of maybe multi-family units. you don't have that option in the middle of a rural county like this. so there are some challenges there. i was on the ground up in amory on saturday afternoon and you saw a lot of people, a lot of volunteers there making progress but we have real issues with the power grid system in amory as well as the water system. the mayor said it was holding up at that time but a constant battle in the short run. >> bill: we'll stay in touch with you and the folks in mississippi. you need a lot of help. good luck to you. jimmie burrow is the father of
7:06 am
joe burrow with me now. jimmie, in 1964 a family of five moved into the home behind you. the other night you got a call from your parents, both in their 90s saying they were getting out and you said what when you got that phone call? >> well, they were still in the storm cellar, bill. behind me is the neighborhood. my house is actually a little off to the side. but it is structural damaged and could be totaled. maybe not, we'll see. we got the call about midnight eastern time and jumped in the car. they were still in the storm cellar. they were there for two hours and fortunately they are good. that was the right place to be and this neighborhood that i grew up in and my brother and sister and my parents lived here 58 years.
7:07 am
pretty much ground 0 for amory where the tornado went and hit. we were owe fortunate but a lot of damage. >> bill: mississippi unfortunately around ten years ago was hit with a tornado and your parents remembered that experience. what does this look like today when you arrived? >> well, the cleanup has started. this was for the most part above ground tornado from what i understand. so the pine trees, giant pine trees crashed into homes and the cleanup has started but you hads -- as i was driving on saturday they were chain sawing and getting into this neighborhood. it is sad to see. it was one of the more beautiful, peaceful places that i've ever been and now you see pretty much mass destruction. so it will take years to get it
7:08 am
back to normal just from seeing what i do. a lot of people are pitching in and helping and that's great. >> bill: your mom is 91, your dad is 92. i don't know where they live now. what do they do? >> well, that's the challenge. we are looking at places, temporary. we are hoping that my house -- our house is not totaled. still engineers have to come out and see the structural damage. six months or so they'll definitely have to have temporary housing. we are looking at different options. people are great in this town to reach out and help. so there is no shortage of help for sure. >> bill: i know you love the place. good to have you back there and good luck to you, jimmie, thank you for your time and give your best to everybody trying to get through this difficult moment there. jimmie burrow, thank you.
7:09 am
>> aishah: more details are emerging about that school shooter and the possible motive for yesterday's deadly attack in nashville. today's "new york post" cover reads transgender killer targets christian school and points to a manifesto. this comes as chilling new footage released by the metro national police department shows that 28-year-old shooting a glass door, walking through and casually wandering down the hallways opening doors before going on that deadly rampage that resulted in three children shot to death, three adults including custodian mike hill and the principal, katherine koonce. officers rex engelbert and michael collazo who took out the shooter being hailed as heroes. young officers, young heroes. joining us live with the latest from nashville is lawrence jones. enterprise reporter and host of lawrence jones cross-country. you've been talking to people on the ground.
7:10 am
what are you learning? >> good morning, my friend. as you can see behind me the school and church is right there. they've already established this makeshift memorial. we've been seeing people in and out. adding to that memorial. investigators from tbi, tennessee bureau of investigation, f.b.i. as well as the metro nashville police have been in and out processing that scene. what we're waiting for is the release of that manifesto. the sources that we talked to tell us that they pretty much know the motive. it is just a matter of time before they release that information. we don't know when they plan on doing that. but i want to talk about those officers that arrived at the scene. talked to a source earlier today that was actually in the helicopter as those two officers were making their way and their backup was also on the scene. after the shooter took out six
7:11 am
individuals, three being children, she positioned herself in a way almost like in a sniper's position to really target these officers. if you look at some of the photos that have been released by the metro police you can see where she is shooting at the windshield. she wasn't just shooting to those two responding officers. she was also shooting at their backup as well. many people know that after the columbine shooting, officers really changed the way that they deal with these active shooter investigations. at that time they would go door-to-door to relieve children until they could make their way to the suspect. but after that, they noticed that the suspect would just barricade themselves in one location and then they wouldn't be able to save the other children's lives so they did something different. they said you go straight to the gunfire. there has been criticism of law enforcement in the past like
7:12 am
uvalde. these officers did it the right way and there is no doubt they saved some lives. >> aishah: actually, lawrence, i believe the police department just released brand-new body cam footage from officer michael collazo's body camera. you can see him grabbing his gear and then running into the school with a bunch of other officers and it does actually get to the point where it shows the result when they take out the shooter which we won't show to you. we will try to turn the video to show you the inside scenes. what can you tell us about just the way people are responding to these two officers especially after so much criticism those uvalde police officers got? >> i think the public they hail them as heroes. i have to give them credit. not just from the response of those officers.
7:13 am
there were many other officers on the scene that took gunfire as well. but i have to commend the police department thus far of the transparency of letting us know exactly what happened. the only thing we're waiting for right now is a clear motive of why she decided to target this school and those particular people in the building. but all the information from body cam footage, 911 video and the call audio has all been released to the public. we are waiting for the manifesto. >> aishah: lawrence jones live for us in nashville, thank you so much. >> bill: 13 past. biden administration saying it is staying the course after putin's latest nuclear saber rattleling. should there be a change in strategy toward the russian leader? we'll look at that. >> aishah: israeli prime minister netanyahu delaying his plan to overhaul the nation's judiciary. why protestors there are not

7:17 am
if you're the spouse of a military veteran, i want you to know something. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. a va home loan is unique. it's different than other loans because it allows you to borrow up to 100% of the home's value. that extra borrowing power may allow you to pay down debt lower your monthly payments, put cash in the bank, and give you the peace of mind that every veteran deserves.
7:19 am
>> bill: there has been a pause in the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's plan to overhaul that nation's judicial system. this after protestors on sunday night broke through police barricades near his home in jerusalem. protestors not letting up saying they want the plan scrapped and not just delayed. trey yengst has been watching it from the beginning now live in jerusalem. trey, hello. >> bill, good morning. that's right. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is delaying votes on proposed jude -judicial reform
7:20 am
as israel plunges into turmoil. police fire water canyons at protestors. he addressed the nation trying to calm the chaos erupting across the jewish state. when there is an opportunity to abort civil war through dialogue i as prime minister am taking a time-out for dialogue. israeli leader says votes on judicial reform will not take place in may. protestors remained in the streets after netanyahu's statement determined to demonstrate until the reforms are canceled all together. earlier in the day, thousands gathered outside the israeli parliament as flights from israel's main airport were halted and banks closed their doors. the amount of pressure on the israeli government remains unprecedented for the country's nearly 75 years in existence.
7:21 am
>> this is -- protest organizers tell fox news they're reorganizing today and plan to hold more massive demonstrations this weekend. >> bill: we'll watch it. trey yengst in jerusalem. thank you. >> aishah: for more on this let's bring in ian bremmer founder of the eurasia group. benjamin netanyahu is practically admitting his country is on the brink of civil war. what do you make of the situation and how do you see the outcome? >> well, it is not a coup and this is the same sort of thing we heard after january 6th in the u.s. and january 8th in brazil but it is unprecedented domestic disturbance because there is very strong opposition to netanyahu's stripping away a lot of the independence that a
7:22 am
very strong supreme court has had. there are a couple of points here. first is over the coming month there is a decent chance that netanyahu will lose supporters in his own party and therefore not be able to push through. he only has an eight seat majority. he needs all those votes in order to get this judicial reform through. not clear it will happen. his coalition could fall apart. it is several different parties. one is hard right wing. they were opposed to even a temporary suspension and might decide they'll break with him on the back of potentially losing the vote for watering down the resolution as he tries to talk with the opposition. so there are lots of ways this can go badly in what is not a two-party system. it is a very divided and fragmented political system. all the votes we've had in the past years, all the attempts that netanyahu and others made to try to put together a
7:23 am
coalition government that failed. it is hard to keep a government together when it is this weak. >> aishah: i imagine the administration is watching closely. we don't want to see chaos in that part of the world. watching the situation in ukraine also and belarus as president putin and russia announces that he might station tactical nuclear weapons in that country in belarus. i spoke with the belarus exiled leader over the weekend and she just called him a crazy dictator. is that what this is? or should we be taking this ten times more seriously? >> well, a crazy dictator implies he has control over what happens inside his country. that's not quite true. this decision has been made by putin to move these tactical nuclear weapons probably sometime in the summer to belarus. luke -- when russia stationed
7:24 am
100,000 troops as a present cursor to the invasion of ukraine that putin denied. this comes as the russians have also cut off the start talks. no talks about arms sort of negotiations between the two nuclear super powers and as the russians say they want to modernize and increase their nuclear capabilities and hypersonic missiles. a dangerous position for the world to be in. we have no functional relations with the russians right now and it is not about to change. >> aishah: could i quickly ask you about this administration's response particularly because there has been some criticism in washington about chaosic situations leading to chaotic situations, the russians dropping the drone, chinese spy balloon. what do you make of this administration's response to different crises when it comes
7:25 am
to foreign policy? >> when you don't talk with each other, when there are no diplomatic engagements at the highest level and no trust, the potential for accidents to escalate go up. and not only is that because the u.s. considers putin a war criminal. also three years of covid and the fact you didn't have that level of direct high diplomatic engagement between the countries. no question it may -- makes the world more dangerous. >> aishah: please come back. it's great to have you on the show. >> bill: as the journalist behind the twitter files was testifying before congress the i.r.s. made an unannounced visit to his home. was this an example of government intimidation we ask today? democrats turning away from president biden as we get close to 2024. what new polling shows about who they might support. ♪
7:26 am
i got tai last december. i've spent almost every minute with her since. when i first brought her home, she was eating little brown pieces in a bag and it was just what kind of came recommended. i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active, high-quality poops. if i can invest in her health and be proactive, i think it's worth it. see the benefits of fresh food at betterforthem.com my name is wendy, i'm 51 years old, and i'm a hospital administrator. when i talk to patients you can just see from here up when you're wearing a mask. and i have noticed those lines beginning to really become not so much moderate but more severe. i'm still wendy and i got botox® cosmetic. and i'm really happy with the results because they're very subtle, and i feel like i look like myself,

we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea! hey, guys! you're sitting on a goldmine! come on, guys! do you hear that? i don't hear anything anymore. find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call

>> aishah: a journalist behind the twitter files says the i.r.s. paid an unannounced visit to his home. matt taibbi claims he was testifying in front of the select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government when the i.r.s. made an unexpected visit. so was he targeted? kelly o'grady is live in the west coast bureau with the details. >> that's the question, right? unannounced house call raises eyebrows. i.r.s.'s own website shows most contact is initiated through the mail. the timing has many questioning the real motive. the visit would have taken place march 9th right in the middle of taibbi's testimony on alleged government censorship. in a letter to jim jordan the
7:32 am
journalist claims an i.r.s. agent left a note requesting he call four days later. later informed his 2018 and 2021 tax returns had been rejected over identity theft concerns. regarding that 2018 return taibbi said the filing was accepted over four years ago. as for 2021 taibbi said it was rejected twice despite his accountant using a pin number. the agency admitted the inquiry is not monetary related. the date he testified critics are demanding answers. jim jordan sending a letter to i.r.s. commissioner and treasury secretary yellen calling the circumstances incredible. in light of the hostile reaction to mr. taibbi's reporting among left wing activists and i.r.s. history as a tool of government abuse the i.r.s.'s action could be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate a witness before congress. taibbi tweeting this. i don't want to comment on the i.r.s. issue pending in answer to jim jordan's letter.
7:33 am
i am not worried for myself. the committee demanding that the i.r.s. give a comment. some are saying this is another example of free speech being targeted. back to you. >> aishah: thank you, kelly. >> bill: 32 past the hour now. will democrats losing hope in the biden ticket? when asked who would replace him that answer was more difficult. former chief of staff karl rove on this. good morning in austin. the answer was kamala harris at 13%. not that high on the ledger. what did you see from this poll? let's start there. >> you said 44% don't want him to run. they would prefer he step aside. it is worse than that. 30% express no preference. those are people who are
7:34 am
democrats who say i really don't want him to run but i don't want to say that. so 74% either say i prefer that he not run or i don't have a preference. only 25% want him to run again. that's incredible. what is amazing to me is that look at this among democrats. favorable, 75. 15% don't express an opinion. my point is he ought to be better than this and it is reflected in these numbers which nearly three out of every four democrats either say we don't want him to run or we'll escape answering that question by saying no preference. not a good sign for a president getting ready to run for re-election. >> bill: 5 of 10 or 6 of 10 democrats in those contests chose or selected a different candidate back then. we'll see how this goes as we move closer to it. with that, karl, last night sean hannity had a long, extended
7:35 am
sit-down with former president donald trump. he asked him about a ton of topics. one was ron desantis. here is a little bit of that answer. >> ron came to see me tears in his eyes, he said i need you to do me a big favor. i said let me do a couple of rallies. i did 2 or 3, massive rallies. he ends up winning. then a couple years later they say to ron desantis, will you run against the president? he said i have no comment. i have no comment. i looked at the people i was with and i said that's not supposed to happen. >> bill: this is 2018. desantis wants to be governor and won that race by a margin of 100,000 votes in florida. what did you think of the answer and i'll ask you another question specifically about this? >> i was interested in that the president takes this all so personally. it is like if he endorsed you, he endorse you.
7:36 am
that's not what it is like in politics. people have their own -- he ridiculed desantis and distorted his record. attacked him. in 2020 president trump criticized then governor desantis for opening up florida from covid restrictions prematurely. now he says that he didn't do that. that he, desantis, had bad covid policies and kept florida locked up too long. you can't have it both ways. the president would be better off spending his time talking about what he wants to do as president rather than showing his feelings are hurt, that somebody that he supported in the past is not jumping in and throwing their full endorsement behind him. >> bill: the point there is some of those comments from the former president are on camera and were delivered during the heat of the campaign in 2020.
7:37 am
>> right. yeah. look, this was not a good -- it was a great interview for sean hannity but sean gave him a chance to set the record straight about the call -- the warning about if i'm indicted there will be destruction and violence. and to say i shouldn't -- we shouldn't have put up that picture of me with a baseball bat next to alvin bragg, the d.a. in manhattan. it stead it was a weird response. former president would be better off saying it was a mistake. i will take responsibility for it. we won't do that kind of stuff implying if i get indicted that people ought to go out and riot and cause violence and destruction. it was not a good picture and we won't do that kind of stuff. instead we call it the alamo defense. i wasn't at the alamo said the mexicans who were there and not
7:38 am
a good excuse. you ought to man up and say it was a mistake and we won't do that again. >> bill: they covered a lot of ground. more coming up tonight on hannity at 9:00 eastern time. nice to see you. talk soon. aishah, this is time forte lore swift giving heart felt advice. what we find in celebrity news. the iheart awards you saw them on fox. the singer got candid. her advice, give yourself permission to fail. swift said her success is the result of sorting through thousands of her own bad ideas and that young people should go easy on themselves. >> aishah: i was always hard on myself. >> bill: good advice. >> aishah: i loved her outfit. that's really what i wanted to talk about. >> bill: you are allowed. what's up with that? >> aishah: a part-time or summer job, a time-honored right of

when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working. i've done the diets, all the diets. before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose.
7:42 am
golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you.

7:45 am
works in the senate office of rand paul. he has been taken to a hospital. he was at that time reported conscious and speaking but has since had life-threatening injuries that require surgery. todd was walking with a friend on h street near 13th in washington, d.c. 5:20 in the evening when the suspect, a 42-year-old knocked him to the ground and stabbed him multiple times including in the head. senator paul said we're relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested. at this time we would ask for privacy so everyone can focus on healing and recovery. earlier this month d.c.'s chief of police said that keeping guns out of the hands of known criminals is a major problem in the nation's capital and also cited soft on crime policies. listen. >> we need to keep violent people in jail. right now the average homicide suspect, the average homicide suspect has been arrested 11
7:46 am
times prior to them committing a homicide. that is a problem. >> also in the new court filing this morning the victim's friend with him at the time pushed the alleged assailant off the victim. the assailant casually got up and walked in the opposite direction of the crime scene. police found a knife at the scene and blood on the ground. violent crime is surging in d.c. including murders. the suspect has been charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and pleaded not guilty and slated to appear in court april 6th. >> bill: what a twist that is. gillian turner in washington, d.c., thank you. breaking news out of nashville. waiting for more information. now we have this. police have released two different versions of body cam footage. both very similar, of officers entering that school, responding to the school shooting. the footage is from two cops who
7:47 am
shot and eventually killed the shooter. aishah, we watch it together about ten minutes ago or so. what we have done is we've selected certain screen grabs we call them to relay to our viewers some of what was happening inside these what seemed to be empty classrooms. >> aishah: we want to be careful for this video because at the end it shows what eventually happened and you see a still shot there where officers shoot this school shooter. but what we took away both bill and i from this is these officers are very methodical and they get right into the action. >> bill: they were in a hurry. >> aishah: they pull up to the school. grab their weapons. walk in and go door-to-door looking for the shooter until they finally locate that shooter. we want to bring back in retired nypd inspector paul mauro. you have been able to look at this with us, too. your first thoughts.
7:48 am
>> my first thought is clearly there was training embedded in this entire thing. they are going in very methodically, they are talking to each other. they are clearing particular rooms. clearing particular doors. generally the way this is set up is usually you have a primary shooter and you have a primary coms person. when you have a two-man team what you want is somebody talking to central and other unites arriving to make sure that people showing up know that you are there. you don't end up in a friendly fire situation and you have a primary shooter. one is out front and one is behind talking to each other. taking the door. letting each other know what they're doing. cognizant of the fact they are the first two on the scene. they know that they are the point of the spear here. remember something. they also know they are in a children's school. something that is really, really important is the term firearms control. what you don't want is for instance a friendly fire incident but also a chronic fire
7:49 am
incident. what it means is that somebody shoots, ricochets bounce around. the read is oh, somebody is shooting at us and now you have contagious firing. everybody starts shooting. >> bill: excellent point. at least three officers, there might have been more that entered the school around the same time. i mentioned two body cam videos released. each runs three minutes of what has been made public so far. there is alarms going off in the background. i think they were set off when the killer first entered the school and opened fire on the door which probably set off the alarm initially. at times you can hear gunshots being heard. that was on the second floor which is where they found the killer. >> right. they seemed to be going methodically door-to-door. they don't know what they are getting into and where the person is. as you said, they are being methodical and they hear the shots. not only -- no audio.
7:50 am
it sounds like what happens is they're on the first floor and we're at 7, 8 shots, about eight shots and they are somewhat separated. you hear him saying i don't know which cop it is. you hear him saying move away from the gun. that argues to me that's the pause right there. they probably -- they shoot four times. there is that pause, probably because she is still moving and you hear another round of shots. then he is still saying move away from the gun. she sounds very committed. they put her down. not 40 or 50 shots, shots all over the place. the last thing you want. this looks like it was done quite well. >> bill: thanks for that instant analysis. you made excellent points when cops consider they are going into classrooms with 9 and 10-year-olds inside. >> every cop has that story.

i remember one the shooting of a dog. it wasn't me but somebody i was with and the round went through the dog. the ricochet effect in a closed space in a housing project or something like that, the read is somebody is shooting at us. it echoes and everything else. you have to be cognizant of that stuff. these guys were trained for this specific kind of thing for an active shooter thing. it begs the larger point which is we always have this conversation after these horrible shootings, right? we all want to arrive at a solution to try to prevent them in the future. we talked about using retired cops because of how embedded in these issues they are and how committed. but another thing is that you don't -- i don't think this is something that should be done at the federal level. these domestic events like this. they are domestic terrorism events. they're local. the cops, the local cops are who show up for these things. >> bill: two things are clear. they acted with speed and there was a lot of communication.
