they also support the families of officers in need in many regards. sick children, terminal illness, the like, and seeing the impact and the meaning this non-profit has on the legacies of those fallen officers and families cannot be overstated and it is indeed a blessing. god bless all who serve. thanks to everyone. here is "america reports." >> tonight is the beginning of a chicago that truly invests in all of its people. a city that's truly safer for everyone by investing in what actually works to prevent crime. >> john: fox news alert, voters in chicago have chosen brandon johnson, in a race that saw two candidates with starkly different visions over how to

address rising crime. chicago will now have another mayor who has previously called for the defunding of police. >> gillian: what impact will that new mayor have on the windy city's ongoing crime surge? we'll speak with raymond lopez about just what chicagoans say they are expecting. >> john: begin with the fox news alert, the taiwanese president meeting with kevin mccarthy in los angeles as part of a week long trip to america that has left china threatening to retaliate. those pictures coming in moments ago. hello, john roberts in washington. we live to fight another day. >> gillian: allegedly. see how today goes. good to be with you, john. >> john: it's early. >> gillian: gillian turner in for sandra smith. this is "america reports." taiwan's increasingly close relationship with the u.s. is a major source of anxiety for beijing for years, china called it a provocative move that

threatens to derail relations and undermine stability across the pacific. >> john: the biden administration is calling the visit unofficial and warning china not to overreact, likely referring to when president xi jinping ordered military exercises around the island last summer after speaker nancy pelosi visited. >> gillian: complete coverage right now, former defense secretary mark esper on how president biden should respond to beijing's volatile moves. >> john: first coverage around the globe. our political panel here to react in moments. plus, aishah hashny, and william from simi valley, california, why did the president make the trip now? >> you know, number one, growing hostility here in the u.s. about china, and of course trying to

shore up support for taiwan, dwindling support around the world, only 13 nations support or recognize taiwan as an independent nation. the tension is playing out behind me, you have pro taiwan protestors back there who are obviously saying they are an independent nation and here pro china saying well, no, you belong to us. now, the taiwanese president arrived just a few moments ago, and she's here because of the dwindling support and saying on this ten-day tour she's been hounded by pro china protestors, not just here but new york as well. she met with three u.s. senators in new york and now meeting with speaker mccarthy and a bipartisan group of 18 members from congress. china sees this as a provocation, and warns of consequences. >> this act seriously violates

the one china principle and the provisions of the three china u.s. joint communiques and undermines china's sovereignty and territorial integrity. >> now in response, china has already initiated live fire drills in the taiwan strait. they have crossed into contested waters there, not unlike they did when speaker pelosi did last year. u.s. officials say america is not going to be bullied and speaker mccarthy does not answer to china to whom he chooses to speak. >> there should be no reason for china to overreact here and i'll leave it at that. >> she often refers to her job as walking a tight rope, trying to balance her country's security and independence without provoking beijing. the visit is also a reminder of

the critical importance to curtailing china, and -- >> taiwan is the berlin of the new cold war. a place where much of the contest play play out and ideally maintain deterrence, i don't think it means scaling back diplomatic engagement with taiwan but increasing military presence in the region. >> so game plan is, john, i could tell you, they are getting heated right now. some security has moved in, i cannot tell you what they are saying, i don't understand mandarin but it's all vulgar. and they will have a joint statement around noon local and the congressional delegation will speak to the press about 2:00. >> john: china should take note of the fact pro chinese demonstrations are allowed in the united states, they can get

boisterous as long as they are peaceful. >> gillian: more than 10,000 miles away from today's meeting out in simi valley, taiwan is hoping for more reassurance, team coverage with aishah hasnie, she joins us live from taipei. china is forging ahead, taking some pretty significant action. >> hey, good afternoon to you, gillian. that's exactly right. just in the last few hours, the defense ministry announced a chinese aircraft carrier fleet, a whole fleet has now passed through the boshe channel, southeast of taiwan. that means china has now launched its first west pacific training exercise. we expected some kind of response to this mccarthy meeting today, because a year

ago when former speaker nancy pelosi visited this island we began to see chinese jets flying very, very close to this island, even crossing the median line almost every single day. amped up the military exercises and we could see even more action later this week. china as you heard william say is condemning this meeting between mccarthy and the president, and the entire transit through america, she's been visiting with a few countries that still have diplomatic relations with the island, about 13 left now in the entire world as china goes one by one and picking them off. we have been speaking with folks here in taipei. they are extremely concerned about a possible invasion, and they are not too confident that the u.s. would actually step in to help. >> do you think america would come and help? >> no.

no. you'll see what happens in europe, no. why we should lie to ourself, say america will come. i don't think so. >> and gillian, some folks here in taipei are thinking about going to other countries because they have been watching what's happening in ukraine very, very closely, but if something were to happen with china, this is an island, they would not be able to flee like the refugees we saw did in ukraine last year. so they are already thinking and planning ahead about moving now, gillian. >> very telling, thank you. >> john: the money sound bite, as it were. juan, let's start you off with the comment that the woman made to aishah in taipei, in taiwan they don't know if the u.s. will have their backs because as that

woman said, look what's going on in europe right now. how do you respond? >> i think she's exactly right. john, i don't think there's any question. that's why the u.s., you know, is taking such a strong stance against russia. i think it has seen as really a preview and indication to china that the united states is going to make the effort to withstand any authoritarian effort to overtake a sovereign nation and so that's exactly right. where i may disagree with her, what we know so far from president biden is that he has pledged that he will defend taiwan, and the effort that we see ongoing in congress right now to say we are no longer going to have a one china policy may find some resistance from the white house because they are trying to downplay that this morning in the wall street journal, a full page ad paid for

by people like maurice greenberg, you know, i think you know some of these names, ken langone, founder of home depot, and others saying let's decrease some of these tensions in the bilateral relationship between china and the u.s., let's find a way to work this out because we are getting close to militaristic response. >> general mark milley was saying the same thing. marc, reiterate via the president what it was that juan alluded to, biden ending strategic ambiguity saying the u.s. will come to the aid of taiwan. >> are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? >> yes. >> you are. >> it's a commitment we made. >> john: back to the point the woman in taipei was making, marc, she does not trust the

biden administration will have taiwan's back because juan said we are supporting ukraine but i think she was referring to the fact we did not tell putin don't invade ukraine and do something to ensure that he didn't. and that's what they are worried about there in taipei we won't send a strong enough message to china to keep them out. >> yeah, she heard president biden say four times that he would defend taiwan and also white house aids four times walk that back. biden was right the first, second, third and fourth time, and why it so important we help ukraine prevail. a lot of people on the right say we should cut off aid to ukraine. if china looks at ukraine to say the united states will not spend money to defend a sovereign country, do we think they are going to ex pend american lives for a country that's not sovereign? i doubt it.

and undermine the deterrent if we lose in ukraine and the reason why putin invaded ukraine instead of poland, lithuania, latvia, estonia, they are nato allies, and the u.s. would have to come and respond. so the strategic ambiguity calls it into question. if we want to deter a war with china, we have to be clear what the consequences would be and say this is a line you cannot cross. china does not want to go to war with us. >> let's ruminate from yesterday, your reaction from the bragg indictment, both sides of the aisle say it's thin gruel at best. >> he was reluctant to bring the case and then decides to bring

the case, 34 charges. but john, has to be an underlying charge that raises it from misdemeanor, you know, tax, playing with the tax forms and the financial records to a felony case. and he did not reveal what that is. it may come, but so far you have to think, is this really the strongest case and i just don't see it at that, no. >> john: mark, trey put it this way, he said indictments are not supposed to be mystery novels yet this one is. >> i agree with juan and i don't know a serious single scholar on the right or left that thinks it's a good case. these charges would not be brought against anyone but donald trump, and only if donald trump were eligible for the presidency again, it's clearly political and this is helping make sure that donald trump is the republican nominee, making him more likely. republicans don't want the country to be turned into a banana republic where the

justice department is weaponized to go after political opponents. jeb bush is backing donald trump, joe manchin is backing donald trump on this, so when you have done that, you have really misfired. >> john: and you and juan on the same page of the indictment. marc, juan, appreciate it. a chance to talk more in the next hour when asa hutchinson, the latest declared republican candidate will join us. he has called for trump to drop out of the race because of legal problems. now i wonder if he has changed his mind. >> gillian: his case so far have been all the hoopla aside, sentence conviction, whichever which this goes, it's too much of a distraction on the campaign trail. that's been his case. if he pivots -- >> john: i think you are going to see a galvanizing of former donald trump over this. >> gillian: interesting to see

if more lawmakers formally endorse trum for 2024. only a handful so far. >> john: when you have democrats like juan williams and others saying what is the indictment, it's a big issue. >> gillian: closely tracking it. the missouri state highway patrol confirms at least four deaths and multiple injuries now resulting from a tornado that struck the state's southeast overnight. dozens of homes and businesses destroyed in glen allen, missouri, about 100 miles south of st. louis. forecasters believe it was a direct hit from an ef-2 or ef-3 tornado. the severe weather marches east, about 89 million americans in its path. communities from the great lakes and ohio valley down to the mid south could see hail, damaging winds, even more tornadoes. southern states still recovering from tornadoes last week could be at risk in the direct cross

hairs once again. tornadoes that moved across arkansas friday are blamed for at least five deaths and a lot of catastrophic damage. fox corporation is proud to be a partner, annual disaster giving program has donated $1 million to help victims impacted by the recent tornadoes across the sought. join us by donating at red cross.org/forward or scan the qr code on the screen. >> john: the situation at the southern border continues to spiral out of control. authorities finding dozens of migrants in a texas stash house as mexican cartels cash in on their dreams of coming to america. robert el monte, his reaction

next. >> gillian: and how democrats are defending actions and where the process stands on efforts to remove them. >> workplace you have rules you break. sometimes they put a letter in your file, sometimes the rules have you get fired. in this instance, this rises to the level i believe of their actions on the house floor to be expelled. thing i learned being a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody.

>> gillian: new video out of el paso reveals dozens of people crammed and trapped inside a smuggle house. 1 of 2, border officials confirm 140 migrants were found at two straight locations right outside el paso. border patrol tells fox news the

so-called stash houses, nothing new, are popping up with increasing frequency along the southern border. bring in robert el monte, former u.s. marshal and deputy chief of el paso p.d. sir, talk to us first about the stash house, homes or property where smugglers and traffickers keep people while they are in transit, often times against their will. for our viewers at home, take a look at this. in the last two years border agents have uncovered 261 stash houses with 3,000 migrants inside. does that shock you? it shocks me. >> no, it does not, it does not shock me. that's the way the things are on the border there in el paso. i have to tell you, first thing i have to do is take my hat off to governor abbott, the governor of texas for addressing the situation that has not been addressed effectively by the

federal government. governor abbott sent the national guard to the border patrol, also texas d.p.s. troopers out there and together working with border patrol and el paso p.d., el paso sheriff's department, they have done a phenomenal job of detecting these stash houses and preventing a lot of the migrants from coming into the open border avenue in el paso. that was evident when several hundred migrants tried to rush across. >> gillian: 1,000. >> the reason they did that, the border -- agents on the border and d.p.s., national guard, border patrol are doing a tremendous job. let me tell you why we are seeing so much stash houses in el paso. because unlike governor abbott, the governor of new mexico is not doing her job. does not allow the new mexico state police to address the border, will not send the national guard to the border so the migrants are seeing el paso

is tough to get into. the problem how that impacts el paso, migrants come into new mexico, but el paso has a better infrastructure to hide in stash houses and taken to cities throughout the united states. >> gillian: the smugglers and traffickers, how do they find and fund these properties they use as stash houses? >> well, they -- when i was a narcotic commander, we implemented a stash house with a task force, going after drug stash houses but also encounter the human smuggling stash houses, and how they find those houses, they rent them from the property owner. they don't typically buy them, they rent them from the property owner to use short-term and sometimes they use them long-term and then the migrants

are taken, several at a time to different locations to be loaded up into an 18-wheeler, larger van, to be taken to cities throughout the united states. >> gillian: pretty terrible. robert el monte, thanks for an inside view of that. appreciate it. >> thank you very much for having me. >> have the champions come to the white house. we always do. so you know, we'll have l.s.u. come. but you know what, i'm going to tell joe, i think iowa should come too because they played such a good game. >> john: well, the white house already walking back first lady jill biden's idea to invite the second place iowa hawkeyes women's college basketball team to the white house after it was mocked and dismissed as an absurd idea. see what dave ruben has to say.

>> gillian: in chicago, voters have elected a progresstive mayor. raymond lopez is with us, he's up next to share where he thinks the city is now headed.

[tires screeching] >> john: despite a rise in crime a top issue for chicago residents in recent years, voters there last night elected progressive brandon johnson to be the city's next mayor, narrowly defeating the pro police candidate in the run-off election. results sparking concerns for some the new mayor who previously backed defunding the police will not work well with city officials in addressing the

worsening crime crisis. raymond lopez, alderman and former mayoral candidate himself. thanks for being with us, a sense of many in chicago if you thought lori lightfoot was too far to the left, you ain't seen nothing yet. your thought about brandon johnson's victory. >> i definitely agree, brandon is left of left, if there is ever a better explanation where his politics lie. he has made defunding the police a priority, he has stated the election was a power struggle between black labor and white wealth and used the race card at every turn. what concerns me, crime still remains the number one issue in the city of chicago and if you have a mayor who doesn't see a value in replacing -- filling the 1600 vacant police officer positions and redirecting the money for phrases like treatment not trauma, and root causes without addressing the criminals

here and now, it's only going to exacerbate criminals in chicago. >> john: johnson described in 2020 defunding an actual real political goal. he has since backed off on that, but often you can tell what is in somebody's heart by looking at the first thing that they say. however, he and you have allude today this, wants to get to the root causes of crime, he described this morning in the following way. listen here. >> there's a direct correlation between youth employment and violence reduction. there's a direct correlation between investing in mental health care related services, mental health professionals and violence reduction. there is a direct correlation between affordable housing and good paying jobs. i mean, these are the dynamics that ultimately prevent crime. >> john: what he says would seem to make sense but does he have the policies to carry that out?

>> i think everything he said is true and all of us want to see that enacted in the city of chicago. but the same time, you have to address and hold criminals accountable for their actions right now. the everything that he talks about will take a generation to implement because it has to undo the years of systemic disinvestment and the lawlessness that's been allowed to persevere in the city of chicago. we have to be able to do both. we have to address root causes but also address those criminals right now who have gone unchecked for nearly five years. and i think unless he is able to control the left and extreme left policies that he and his socialist colleagues in the city council are trying to push forward, he will find this will be very tumultuous term because you have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time in order to govern the city of chicago. >> john: education another big issue in chicago. raymond, brandon johnson has deep ties to the chicago teachers' union. american federation of teachers

president randi weingarten supported him, here she is in a howard dean moment. listen here. >> i watched paul vallas ruin the new orleans school system. i watched him fire black teachers in new orleans. i watched him divide and divide and tear that community apart. >> john: what does this mean, this victory, for education in chicago? >> many of us have deep concerns about the status of public education in the city of chicago, the new mayor i don't say not only a union organizer but the chief lobbyist addressing their concerns and the district $600 million in the red, 26% of students are able to read, 24% understand math and

coming to a head as we are seeing a decline in enrollment and the mayor-elect says he has almost no disagreements for the teachers' union responsible for educating our youth and if you don't see anything wrong with what's going on, nearly 75% of the kids achieve basic minimum test scores in the state we are going to have a serious problem not only addressing their education, but putting them on a path that leads to better prosperity for the rest of their lives. >> john: i'm out of time. one quick question, if i could. do you expect the exodus of big corporations from chicago will continue under this next administration, or -- >> if we do not find a balance between growth and opportunity, we will see the taxes and the programs and the social decline push businesses out of the city of chicago faster than what we have seen up to this point.

>> john: raymond lopez, thank you, appreciate your thoughts. >> gillian: tomorrow three democratic tennessee lawmakers will find if they will be expelled. a chaotic confrontation on the house floor monday. steve, break down the allegations for us. >> gillian, these republican state representatives could expell three democrats as early as tomorrow for taking part in a protest inside the capitol right on the capitol floor. the protest was anti-gun violence and comes in the wake of a shooting at a nashville school that left six people dead, among those dead, three 9-year-old children. and they took a bull horn, and led spectators in anti-gun chants. eventually led to a scuffle between one republican lawmaker and a democrat.

>> my colleague -- pretty -- >> hey, get your hand off me. >> the republican speaker said rules were broken, decorum was violated. the three democrats have already had their committee assignments taken away. >> my colleague pushed me and took my cell phone, and acted in a disorderly way. but he is not being threatened with expulsion. >> the vote thursday is expected to be along party lines. right now, republicans have a

super majority. >> john: the biden administration, gillian, has so far been silent on the arrest of former president trump, as we look at the white house, we are awaiting the start of this afternoon's press briefing. will press secretary karine jean-pierre offer anything more today. >> gillian: three teenagers shot and killed over three days in florida. law enforcement believes the murders are connected to "wannabe gangs." a local sheriff telling fox news they are close to making an arrest now. >> sounds to me like you've got some suspects in mind already. l>> yes, we do. we have a few of 'em. >> is an arrest imminent? >> yes. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment.

miles northwest of orlando officers say silvernel was left near a dumpster on a rural country road. less than a mile away, 17-year-old teen boy was found dead, and then officers found layla's car nine miles away submerged in a lake. and in the car, they found her friend dead. the three were together. >> it's more of a neighborhood gang. we had a lot of leads, they are getting us in the right direction. >> and the sheriff says he has 15 detectives assigned to this case, and right now they are combing through digital and forensic evidence. john. >> c.b. cotton with a good wrap-up of that story. thank you. >> the virus has infected

♪♪ >> john: beer's on me, you ain't worth the whiskey, listen up here. you've probably heard about studies that show drinking moderate amounts of alcohol might just have some health benefits. here comes the but. a new study seems to suggest otherwise. you knew where this was going, right? a research team in canada, blame canada for this, that drinking less than an ounce of alcohol on a daily basis will not help you live longer, will not help you

live longer. it also claims that no amount of alcohol is good for you. here is the caveat. it says you won't die any sooner than folks who never drink any alcohol at all. so, it's the great equalizer. >> gillian: yes, and i don't want to be a bad influence on everyone, but candidly, my wonderful, 104-year-old grandfather passed away two years ago, and when i asked him what he attributed his long life to, this is serious, drinking a glass of whiskey every day. >> john: and our floor man, his mother turned 100 -- all things in moderation. >> gillian: so let's go have a drink. but first, dr. siegel in a moment, artificial intelligence

tool can spot genetic markers of brain cancer faster and more accurately than human doctors. a.i. experts say there are concerns that unchecked technology could gain the upper hand, essentially hijack humanity and pose a threat. sounds crazy but could be very real. so, now let's bring in dr. siegel, professor of medicine, and also a fox news contributor. dr. siegel, first, a lot to unpack here. let's start with the new advance, this new technology out of the university of michigan. they say that their a.i. can detect brain cancer faster, sometimes before it's even emerged in humans, what do you say? >> well, i look at that study, gillian, and a senior author from nyu and looking at brain tumors and judging in the operating room the mutations that would lead you to think

it's a more severe outcome and about 90% accurate and i think it's good from the point of view of let's use a.i. as a tool to help doctors, now another study just came out of stanford and ucla that basically looked at the heart and said that a.i, can do a slightly better job than cardiologists telling you how well your heart is pumping and another study out of the united kingdom looked at stem cells and who is going to get cancer and who isn't. all of that i like, and like looking at the retina of the eye and use patterns from thousands or millions of other patients to say who is going to get cancer, who is going to get high blood pressure, diabetes, that's a.i. as a tool. here is what i don't like. nature journal just did a big study out of george washington university, went inside the operating room and evaluated

urologists and said you are deviating from the standard, and can you imagine a computer voice telling you warning, warning, warning. so, i think -- i think -- i think that the issue here is as a.i. evolves and they use the word darwin here, gets to the point it may be too intimidating and too much of a threat to doctors. >> gillian: i didn't know about that, that's really interesting. i would hate to have somebody in my ear telling me every time i mess up, just kidding, a message to control. it was a joke. >> in your case they would have very little to say. >> gillian: thank you, very generous of you. talk to me about the sort of cost benefit analysis and when it comes to using a.i. just more and more in medicine, in surgical procedures, do you

think that at a certain point, ten years, 20, 50 years from now, like everything is going to go down in operating rooms without human beings? do you think it's just going to be a bunch of tools and computers with a surgeon remote operating from somewhere else? >> i'm very old school about this. i think you need a doctor's judgment. i think that we could augment our judgment with information and realtime. let's look at radiology. i mean, you know, if you are a breast radiologist and you are looking for breast cancer like our own dr. saphier, don't miss this, look at the hundreds of other images but don't want to be in the position somebody sues you because artificial intelligence said one thing and you said something else. so i think as long as it remains a tool it is cost effective.

it improves efficiency, improves outcomes for patients, what we want, but again, the doctor has to be in charge. look, gillian, in our business we have robotic cameras now, right? but they are not any better than some of our best camera people. they only augment them. >> gillian: very interesting. dr. siegel, we want to keep chatting with you about this. any other studies that get your interest let us know, we'll have you back. thank you so much. >> you bet. good to see you. >> john: coming up new at 2:00, the white house and pentagon set to hold briefings any moment as the biden administration warns beijing to not use the taiwanese president visit to the u.s., will xi stand down or will he send a message to the united states they cannot deter him from invading taiwan.
