6:00 am
>> it looks like a great show. >> thank you very much for making us number one cable morning news show. >> thank you so much. >> bill: good morning, everybody. herroism and heartbreak a clearer picture after the school shooting in nashville. some of the victims who gave they are lives trying to save one another we're learning about their stories today. big today day. i'm bill hemmer. dana has time off this week. like old times here now on "america's newsroom." nice to see you, martha. >> we are just learning so much about these heroes.
6:01 am
look at these individuals, this woman who you see pictured is the head master at the covenant school. her name was katherine koonce. so what did she do on that morning? she was on a zoom call in her office. typical morning. she hears shooting. she gets up from her desk. goes directly to the sound of the shooting in the hallway and that's where she lost her life against this shooter who was there to wreak tremendous havoc and heartbreak. >> bill: not just faculty members who sprang to action. this is evelyn. she tried to call for help. she was pulling a fire alarm in the hallway when the shooter shot and killed her. she was only nine years old. >> look at evelyn, right? this is hallie scruggs, william kinney is the other little boy who lost his life. so we're hearing the stories this morning of two of these people and what they were doing at this moment. tonight nashville will hold a
6:02 am
candlelight vigil for them. the governor of tennessee, bill lee, is urging the people of his state to lift up these victims in prayer. >> what happened at covenant school was a tragedy beyond comprehension. some parents woke up without children. children woke up without parents, without teachers. spouses woke up without their loved ones. there is hope in the midst of great tragedy because god is a redeemer. what is meant for evil can be turned for good. may we grieve in the days ahead, but not without hope. >> bill: c.b. cotton is live in nashville today. good morning. >> good morning. you know, there are now so many signs of love and strength in a place that was filled with
6:03 am
absolute fear and terror almost 48 hours ago. since monday's tragic shooting people continue to place stuffed animals, flowers, other mow men toes at the entrance to the school behind me. the site will continue to serve as a place for people to grieve, mourn and reflect in the days and months to come. as martha mentioned a city wide vigil is being held tonight and told by those who organized a general fund for the victims that donations continue to pour in. the covenant school released a statement yesterday saying in part law enforcement is conducting its investigation and while we understand there is a lot of interest and there will be a lot of discussion about and speculation surrounding what happened, we continue to prioritize the well-being of our community. metro nashville police chief told me yesterday this attack was calculateed and planned. officers still don't have a clear motive. community members and teachers have a lot of questions.
6:04 am
listen. >> how to explain to an 8-year-old or 7-year-old this is going on in our world. it is just really hard to navigate the whole situation. i've never been in this situation. no teacher should have to be in this situation. it just is no fun. it does hit close to home for sure. >> you have to think of the heartbreak and uncertainty for our teachers. now missouri republican senator josh hawley said yesterday the shooting should be investigated as a hate crime. he shared the letter he wrote to f.b.i. director chris wray and dhs secretary mayokas calling the shooting a targeted attack against christians. bill. >> bill: c.b. cotton back with you with more developments later today. >> also hailed as heroes in this the officers who ran toward the gunfire. we have heard them saying let's go, let's go.
6:05 am
they kept moving and moving. their names are michael call as owe. >> these are the kind of individuals we want to hold up across this country. we want to thank them for what they do. they were part of a team that was extraordinary in this case. without the bravery of these men this tragedy could have been worse. it is bad enough as it is. body cam footage shows responders as they arrived on the scene within minutes. they moved quickly and efficiently in search of the shooter and eventually confronting her and killing her. >> bill: we watched that yesterday when it came out for the first time around 24 hours ago and just the speed by which they moved and the ability they had to go from classroom to classroom and communicate with each other was impressive. the next phase of the story will be what's the evidence you found
6:06 am
at the home of this girl? they went to the house and found a sawed off shotgun, another shotgun and a lot of documents. so what's in the documents? we're waiting to get that. >> you have to wonder what the family knew here. i think back to nine leave and this nationwide call. family members, friends, people see things and they need to say something. i can't figure out how we're ever going to wrap our arms around this problem if we don't have people speaking out when they know someone in their lives is dangerous and they need help immediately and call the police and say there may be guns in my house. we need outside help in this situation. it would be great to hear that from the top of our government. >> bill: clear we have a lot of questions and you imagine how many questions they have in nashville. stand by for more throughout the
6:07 am
day. now there is this. >> if you had integrity you would resign. i will tell you the men and women of the border patrol have never had a political leader undermine them. they despise you mr. secretary. >> i won't address it. >> your reviewsal to do your job is revolting. >> at the end of the day it appears to me that you are not enforcing the law, you are redefining key statutory terms to obfuscate the fact you aren't enforcing the law. this is a fireable offense. >> sparks flying yesterday at the senate panel hearing. senators grilled homeland security mayokas again over his handling of the crisis at our southern border. they called again for him to step down. for not doing his job. he ducked some of the toughest questions saying he is doing all he can. on the ground we see the chaos shows no end in sight. senator mike lee is on deck with his takeaways from that
6:08 am
experience in that room yesterday. let's go to alexis mcadams live for us in mission, texas this morning. good morning, alexis. >> martha, good morning. if you listen to that hearing secretary mayokas paints a different picture than what we see every day here at the southern border. this all comes as dozens of migrants just lost their life in a massive fire just over the border in mexico. take a look here. new video from inside this migrant detention facility. it shows the moment a massive fire started inside in mexico. the migrants inside started their mattresses on fire after they found out they were going to be deported. as those flames spread the guards ran out leaving those migrants locked up with no way to escape here. on tuesday dozens of venezuelan migrants showed up to the center trying to find their loved ones. protests at that scene you can see there growing as the group
6:09 am
demands answer after nearly 40 people were killed in the fire and many other injured. many people talking about how the centers in mexico are way too crowded with migrants and they don't have the basic resources. things not slowing down in south texas. new video of the 50 migrants we saw the other day crossing into eagle pass, texas. just a few of the 14,000 people crossing the border in just 72 hours. >> just because the border is not secure, that's why we are finding bodies and having all this traffic going through the branches. >> secretary mayokas in the hearing talked about how they get more fentanyl -- stopping it from coming into the united states on the daily basis. but the numbers that doesn't seem to be the case. in the last week border patrol found hundreds of pounds of cocaine, meth and fentanyl pouring in. >> that's who is running the border. >> mike lee out of utah was in
6:10 am
that committee meeting yesterday. we just watched that. did you get anywhere? >> we got almost nowhere because secretary mayokas refused to own up what's happening. he refused to own up to the fact he is redefining term after term of federal law, the same federal law he is charged with administering and enforcing. he is reinterpreting in order to obfuscate and distract from the fact we have a humanitarian crisis on the southern border resulting in all sorts of horrible things including 110,000 fentanyl overdose deaths in the last year alone. these things are all connected to the fact he lacks control of the southern border. at the same time, he redefines even the term operational control which is defined by federal statute to involve creaseing all unlawful border crossings. he defines term after term
6:11 am
differently than what the statute says in order to obscure the wrongness of what he is doing. >> bill: he was talking about fentanyl when asked about it. by the way, customs and border protection say fentanyl seizures at the border about 96% are accounted for in the ports of entry. he sort of made that point yesterday when he said we get about 90% of the fentanyl that comes across the port of entry, we stop it. that would seem to indicate a pretty good record. how would you explain why it's still such an issue then? >> okay. he purports to know the exact percentage coming in through the ports of entry. i have no idea how he purports to know that. he doesn't know that. he can't know that. that presupposes he knows neither. i think it was about 600,000 known gotaways, people who came in not through a border crossing, but between ports of entry in last year alone.
6:12 am
given the portability of fentanyl and concentrated nature for all we know we could have migrants carrying a kilo of fentanyl. i think that's enough to produce an extremely large number, in the millions, of doses. and so as a result of that we have no idea what's coming in. >> bill: last point, senator. the president's official instagram account two days ago, his twitter feed blamed maga republicans in the house and said we need more resources on the border. when you heard that, how did you interpret it? >> i was infuriated by this. infuriated. it makes no sense, contrary to fact. it is wrong of when im to say this just as it was wrong of secretary mayokas yesterday to suggest that only congress can fix this and that his hands are tied because existing law doesn't do that for him. this is not true.
6:13 am
my wife and i were talking about this last night. it is absolutely clear that this guy wants to not enforce the law. it's why i've called for him to step down and last night i called for his impeachment. this man has caused immense trouble for the american people and it is time for him to be removed from office. >> bill: you may not get your wish. another hearing today begins in minutes. senator mike lee, thank you for your time today. the republican. >> a stunning story as we get an update on this staffer for senator rand paul who was brutally attacked with a knife on the streets of washington, d.c. in the middle of the afternoon by a man who was let out of prison the day before. senator paul and others calling for a crackdown on crime in d.c. >> bill: what a story. house subcommittee on covid holding an explosive hearing on school closures and the long-term effects for america's kids.
6:14 am
committee chair is brad wenstrup and what he learned from that coming up. >> a story sparking outrage on capitol hill. matt taibbi says the i.r.s. showed up at his home while he was testifying about the weaponization of government on capitol hill. charles payne on what to make oe that next.ht on track to reach your goals. my ameriprise advisor helps me feel confident about my financial future. he knows me and my goals. it's not the first uncertain environment he's helped me navigate. probably won't be the last. but with his advice, i know i'm on track. the plan we created can withstand uncertainty. no wonder clients rate us 4.9 out of 5 in overall satisfaction. because advice worth listening to is advice worth talking about. this is going to be great. taking the shawl off. ok i did it. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices?

6:17 am
6:18 am
6:19 am
>> martha: a federal judge ruling that mike pence must testify to the grand jury to testifying trying to overturn the presidential election. the judge also says pence can decline to answer some questions relating to his actions and can still appeal the ruling. pence pushing back saying when i received this subpoena from the justice department i said it was not only unprecedented to ask a
6:20 am
vice president to testify in court about a president with whom they served but also unconstitutional believing the constitution's speech and debate protection applied to me while serving as the president of the senate. meanwhile the new york grand jury investigating former president trump in the hush money case will not convene again this week. sources telling fox news that they will meet again next week. so that saga goes on and on. >> bill: house speaker kevin mccarthy says the president is on the clock to negotiate on the debt ceiling. mccarthy saying he wants to raise the debt ceiling by cutting federal spending. white house rejects that idea. i don't know if these guys are even talking. peter doocy knows live from the north lawn. >> they aren't talking but writing letters to each other. speaker mccarthy wrote a letter to biden saying he was missing in action on the debt ceiling issue. the deadline is june, as late as
6:21 am
september. >> if you look at what he is trying to do on the debt ceiling he is trying to run out the clock. i think joe biden would be happy trying to delay and delay until the midnight hour to scare the country into some debt crisis. i don't think that's responsible. >> the white house's approach reads like this. time for republicans to stop playing games, pass a clean debt ceiling bill and quit threatening our economic recovery. the president welcomes a separate conversation about our nation's fiscal future. the white house is claiming they'll address spending but later. >> what house republicans are engaging in is just not responsible. they need to put their budget out and tell us what they value and that needs to be confined. the full faith and credit of the united states government should not be in question. >> lots of posturing but if this is actually a serious issue possibly defaulting on the nation's debt nobody is doing
6:22 am
anything concrete about it. speaker mccarthy says the last time he spoke to president biden about this was two months ago. >> bill: so they remain pen pals. peter, thank you, nice to see you today. >> while he is testifying award-winning journalist testifying in front of congress on the weaponization of the federal government. testifying in the committee meeting democrats are asking who his sources are violating the first amendment and attacking the first amendment. while that's going on, guess what, the i.r.a. is knocking on his door. >> the i.r.s. made a door knock at his house the same day he was talking about the weaponization of government. the irony is rich. let's bring in charles payne. the irony of this. you have this select
6:23 am
subcommittee looking into the weaponization of government. while he is talking about it, the government is at his door knocking on the door. almost like a split screen new yorker cartoon but it is real. >> it is real and really frightening to be honest. no way you can argue it was a coincidence. you wonder what's the next step? he wakes up with a severed horse's head in his bed? i'm halfway being tongue in cheek. there was a time when things were done in a way it took a long time to discover it and you had to prove it and the news cycle pushed it out of the way. the weaponization of the i.r.s. what i think is really interesting is the public is picking up on this. the last few days 87,000 i.r.s. agents has really trended big time on social media. people are concerned that hey, this might just be an example a proxy for what we all can expect down the road once they fill the jobs. >> bill: the details are
6:24 am
important here. he was not home so the i.r.s. left a note. >> this was in new jersey when it happened. >> bill: he called them and told his 2018 and 2021 tax returns had been rejected. it's like in baseball where you get a brushback pitch like the warning from the pitcher to the batter. >> i feel like it was closer than that. if they sent him a warning letter about that the same day. to show up at your house. the ultimate form of intimidation. when i started my business i was 3 or 4 years in and paying my workers as independent contractors, the i.r.s. guy barges into my office and demanding money and that scared the hell out of everything. a real situation. this is the ultimate form of intimidation and i think we all should be paying attention to it. >> martha: you would imagine there was a protocol that happens with a couple of emails, a phone call, some outreach and then if there is no response i
6:25 am
can see why you would want to use i.r.s. resources to show up at someone's door. the "new york post" op-ed. is biden like past president's unleashing the i.r.s. on its enemies? maybe the timing of that i.r.s. visit was an -- regardless of whether the visit to i.r.s.'s team was more onic or malicious the power to tax has long confirmed the power to destroy political opponents. that goes back to the romans. >> the i.r.s. is the ultimate agency with the ultimate power. think about if you are in arrears what kind of penalties and interest they have to pay. no entity in this country that has the kind of power the i.r.s. has. >> bill: elon musk says that's very odd. [laughter]
6:26 am
>> that's low key for elon musk. doesn't need to say much more in this case. >> bill: thank you, charles. check you out at 2:00 today on fox business. the charges keep coming against the crypto kid. artificial intelligence might be the future, but how, when, and why? why elon musk is calling for a time-out. boy. meeting a new young homeowner for the first time is a unique challenge. -so you think you can help? -i can try. hey, what you doing? oh, just cleaning my trash cans. wow. it's important to build trust. see you put your address and phone number on here. well, you can never be too safe. with trash? progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto -when you bundle with us. -don't look at the hedges. -they're a mess. -no one's looking at the hedges. dry skin is sensitive skin, too. and it's natural. treat it that way with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated with nourishing, prebiotic oat.

6:31 am
>> bill: 9:31 in new york today learning more about the staffer for senator rand paul who was attacked in d.c. over the weekend. that aide is phillip todd who suffered a deep knife wound to the head that required surgery. that's according to his uncle. he says todd is resting and doctors are monitoring him for possible seizures. senator rand paul was talking about this a bit earlier today here on fox. >> makes me think we're in the third world. i wonder whether washington,
6:32 am
d.c. should be listed on dangerous places to travel like we do at the state department for foreign countries. this happened in broad daylight without any expectation. he didn't know his attacker. we are thankful he is getting better. he has had a lot to go through. multiple surgery's and life threatening wounds. >> bill: the person released from federal prison a day before the attack. senator paul was on "fox & friends." i didn't realize he was serving a 12-year prison sentence and it was day one he was free. >> martha: now he is back in. as senator paul pointed out, is there any sort of psychological discussion like an exit interview when you leave prison where they give an assessment whether or not you are safe to go back out there? once again as we see in so many of these violent episodes across the country it raises the question why don't we have mental health institutions
6:33 am
across the country that people can check into? maybe this person needed to go to an interim period at a halfway mental institution to make sure he was okay on the streets. this young man as rand paul said, athlete, young man should recover but it is devastating what happened to him. >> bill: we hope for a full recovery. get well soon in the d.c. hospital. >> martha: tech industry leaders calling for a pause on the development of artificial intelligence like chatgpt. we have four and now we may be going beyond that and it has them really shaken up. elon musk and other executives urging companies to just halt experiments on a.i. for six months. they need to get some coordination on this citing risks to society. fcc commissioner brendon carr joining me on this and what is happening with tiktok. commissioner, good to have you with us today.
6:34 am
let me read a section of this open letter out there this morning. big news. powerful a.i. systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and risks will be manageable. we call on a.i. labs to immediately pause for at least six months, the training of a.i. systems and talking about the brains being created in these systems can surpass the human brain and may overtake us eventually is the concern. what do you say to this? >> a.i. is a real game changer technology on the order of magnitude of the invention of the internet and things going mobile. a third big game changer. when you look at large technology shifts before including big tech we have been slow to address bias in the systems in my view political bias. this goes to a broader point of needing to put in place baseline protections across all technology platforms to make sure they aren't developed in a
6:35 am
way to discriminate against viewpoints. this pause gives us opportunity to do that it's a good thing. >> martha: one of the things described to me as a scenario is basically bending the reality of an event. so if, for example, china wanted to invade taiwan, to put out there that, you know, taiwan had done something. they had shot down a chinese plane. if you flood all of the social media, all of the realities with this kind of scenario you can create something that appears to become reality and is not. that is truly scary. >> that's right. part of what ties back to the tiktok conversation. we had that blockbuster hearing last week. the republican leader of the committee chair rogers deserves a lot of credit for putting a master class of the hearing bringing together republicans and democrats and united in
6:36 am
agreeing that tiktok poses an unacceptable national security threat. a concern about potential use of tiktok for foreign influence campaigns. i think that hearing fundamentally shifted the nature of the conversation in washington about tiktok from a question of whether we should ban it to how exactly do we do it and when do we do that. that was a significant moment in this discussion. >> martha: you talk about how we would do that. today it is supposed to be off a lot of government devices. how do you check and know whose devices it is on and whose it isn't on? >> a significant step in the right direction. federal device ban and someone works in the federal government guidance going around to do it and can do it. we need to go beyond the federal device ban. india imposed a full nationwide ban on tiktok. that's where we need to get to. i think that's where we will get to. this hearing one of the most significant points of that was democrat congressman ranking
6:37 am
member at the outset took head on the thing called project texas, the mitigation plan that tiktok is trying to sell to the government for two years. he didn't have confidence even if we did project texas it would stop the communist party of china from controlling tiktok. a significant moment. >> martha: stunning that china has a similar version of tiktok but really not. it pushes out educational, patriotic, historic information. they turn the whole thing off at 10:00 at night. omar says she doesn't want our country to have that kind of control over what people read and see. here she is. >> congresswoman do you support a tiktok ban? >> i do not. what is being proposed right now in congress is censorship, it is against the first amendment and is going to disenfranchise so many people in this country. i want the people to be awakened to the reality what this
6:38 am
rhetoric is producing and it is not to protect them. >> martha: you just said, commissioner, you think it will. we are headed toward a nationwide ban. she thinks not. what do you say? >> i think part what is being reflected is the immense popularity of the application. 150 million americans are using it. surprising number. this argument that we can't ban tiktok consistent with the first amendment is not correct. supreme court case law when you target an entity for the conduct. that would be a violation of our national security law. you can ban it without triggering first amendment scrutiny. i think the evidence here is so overwhelmingly clear. they have said for years don't worry, this data doesn't exist in china. they denied surveilling the location of u.s. journalists but they did that. f.b.i., d.o.j. right now have an
6:39 am
investigation underway for that surveillance. just yesterday the biden administration's top director of cybersecurity said she would support a nationwide ban. i think we're heading in that direction. incumbent to make the case plainly to the american public and i think that's what we're doing. >> martha: thank you very much. good to have you here, sir. >> bill: very interesting. talking earlier today. not so sure the tiktok isn't going to go through. we thought it was headed that way two weeks ago. now look at it. >> martha: the signs the protestors v in washington, present produced, beautifully made. my business was helped by tiktok. a tremendous lobby effort on the side of tiktok. point out to parents, you can ban it today in your home. ban it from your children. you can stand up to them and say i don't think this is healthy for you to spend this amount of time looking at this information. everyone has the option to start banning it themselves if they decide they want to do that and perhaps the country will follow.
6:40 am
>> bill: on a.i. the learning curve is like this. see whether or not musk and others can get the six month time-out. >> martha: he has been writing about how concerned he is about a.i. taking over. >> bill: the chinese president xi touting his nation's read enes for war. also police say the shooter who killed three children and three adults on monday had a stockpile of weapons despite being under care for an emotional disorder. former f.b.i. assistant director chris swecker, terrific guest, is coming up next. ♪ customize and save. ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail.

6:46 am
good morning to you. they went to the home. found a few more guns. a lot of documents. we haven't learned much about what's on the writings. when is the obligation -- when is the appropriate time for investigators to tell us a little more about what was on these writings? >> i actually think they can do it any time. as a former prosecutor, i can understand why you would protect certain facts if you had a prosecution to deal with. in this case, you don't. at least we don't have any facts that say somebody helped her or there was any conspiracy. there is no reason to protect that type of information at this point. as i said i do security assessments for schools. churches and schools connected are tricky because some churches are very conservative and there is a cultural clash going on right now. some people take this political rhetoric very seriously and take
6:47 am
action. this type of action. in a school it becomes collateral damage to that. i think you have to be -- you have to look at it a little more comprehensively when you are looking at the threat environment, if you will, for schools and churches. >> bill: how so, chris? >> well, as i said the churches are -- i do a lot of schools -- pre-schools attached to churches. many of these churches are very conservative and still hold very conservative values. i see a cultural clash there and that creates tension and it creates a threat, if you will. there are some very twisted people out there that listen to the political rhetoric and interpret it as a call to action. i this i that increases the threat level for both the church and the schools that are attached to the church. so it is just a dynamic.
6:48 am
you think it's dramatic to think you should have an armed police officer in front of a school or church. that's your best first line of defense, it's a deterrent and taking into consideration the political and the environment we're in. the threat environment we're in today. >> bill: at the home the parents talked to police and they thought their daughter had a shotgun about a year ago and bought it and sold it again. but apparently she had seven from five different stores. i don't know what else they have told police, but do you see unfortunately a pattern here for other shootings that we have experienced? >> i do. if you look at the parkland report, there was a similar situation where the guardian or parent knew the child had guns and there really was no avenue for them to take action. they could go to the police but the police don't have any tools. unless you have what they call that red flag law in some
6:49 am
states, which allows you to get what amounts to temporary restraining order to prevent someone from getting guns. it needs to be easier than that. there needs to be a tool, there needs to be a process for a parent or concerned person or a law enforcement officer to i would call it the gun safety law. not red flag law. it stigmatizes people with mental health problems. i would say you need a tool to have showing to a magistrate by a concerned person showing factual information that puts them on that temporary call it a no-fly list if you will. they can't put their hands on guns. i think a lot of parents, friends and law enforcement officers want to do something. they see something going on. >> bill: i don't know how you implement that. you are being treated by a doctor for an emotional disorder. how would you enact that? in this case it was a
