a plan will do it. as we like to say, he terminated the pothole. get it? if you don't have time or forget, or can't join us at noon eastern, set your dvr and watch any time you want. now here is "america reports." >> this is a land of opportunity not a land of oppression. the drug of victimhood sold by joe biden and the radical left is wrong. we believe in the power of individual responsibility. i couldn't be more excited. >> sandra: fox news alert, south carolina senator tim scott taking a major step toward making a run for the white house as he launches a presidential exploratory committee. >> bill: a sign he like by intends to join the growing gop field. will it up end the primary race? juan williams and katie pavlich on hand to talk about that coming up.

>> i know i could find a gas station anywhere, but e.v., what if i'm low on electric juice. >> i would consider anything that's electric and that performance well. >> the fact is that the battery is reduced by 40% in cold, cold weather. >> we placed the order, we are getting a tesla. >> i would rather work on it myself rather than somebody else do it. >> the biden administration, strict now limits on gas powered vehicles killing cars as we know them today, and arguably ending an era that helped turn america into a global superpower. hello, welcome everyone, sandra smith in new york. >> bill: i'm bill melugin in for john roberts. aggressive proposal by the e.p.a., transforming the auto industry. >> sandra: requiring as many as two-thirds of new cars and trucks in this country sold by 2032 to be electric.

critics of this plan say president biden's sweeping climate agenda is moving unreasonably fast and is an attempt to kill the combustion engine, which revolutionized industrial manufacturing in america and helped the u.s. become the world's top economy. >> bill: energy experts are warning the president's efforts to force the u.s. car companies to go electric will have minimal benefits for the environment, while delivering massive profits to chinese companies that control the rare earth mineral supply chain need today produce e.v. batteries. >> sandra: who is fired up about that? dagen and sean are standing by. >> bill: jacqui heinrich is travelling with the president in dublin, ireland. what is some of the reaction to the president's proposal? >> well, we have not heard any comment from the president yet, bill, but the proposal has really drawn immediate pushback from energy producing states like west virginia, the senator

there saying not only does the biden administration evidently want to tell americans what kinds of cars they can buy and lease and drive, but pointed out there are practical problems with the proposal as well, the administration wants to shut down coal fired and gas fired power plants that provide the base load electricity for these types of trucks and cars and "these misguided emission standards were made without considering supply chain challenges american automakers are still facing, the lack of operational charging infrastructure or the fact it takes nearly a decade to permit a mine to extract the minerals needed to make electric vehicles forcing businesses to look to china for raw materials". the e.p.a. administrator thinks it is possible to balance the climate goals while also moving forward on the other goal of reducing reliance on china. >> this proposal does not kick in 'til model year 2027, so we have some years to ramp up.

and in the meanwhile, when you look at the benefits of the proposal from an energy security standpoint, this will reduce our dependency on foreign oil imports 20 billion barrels of oil. >> the ramping up may be very significant, critics point to problems with the country's electric grid like seen during last year's winter storm in texas california's summer blackouts every year. the president has not made comment nor have officials travelling with him. he is checking in on the status of the peace agreement between ireland and the u.k. standing for a quarter century. >> bill: average e.v. price $60,000 a pop, a tough pill for a lot of americans right now. thank you, jacqui. >> sandra: dagen mcdowell and

sean duffy, rarely do i weigh in in the middle of a debate, but something missing from this conversation, and that is the big american cities people are scared to take public transportation because of rising crime rates, coast to coast. what's more green than getting people back on to public transportation? why aren't we addressing that rather than pushing for the e.v.s, they are expensive, and only 10% of the american car market by the year 2050. so, if they were liked, if they were affordable, if they were efficient, wouldn't there just naturally be demand for these cars? >> there would be a market for electric vehicles if they are affordable and the technology works. infrastructure for it, but in the reporting you make a really great point which is over the half the critical minerals that go into the batteries are refined and owned by china.

take an american energy source like oil and gas and you outsource to critical minerals produced in china, not only that, the technology for the vehicles is chinese-owned. so it's not even an american -- taking an american independence and looking to chinese technology to make sure that we have, you know, vehicles for the future. but also you don't have an infrastructure. you can't -- with wind and solar, have enough electricity to power what we have right now in american electrical needs. you add, you know, 55, 60% more vehicles on electric power, there is not enough electricity from solar and wind to power them. so you are going to use fossil fuels, use oil and gas and coal to fuel these cars, and one last point, if you look at who is mining the cobalt, coming from the congo. little 10-year-old kids in the congo without protective gear are mining it to go into electric vehicles. i thought joe biden and democrats cared about kids and

africa, but i guess not, they care more about the green agenda. >> sandra: on the screen a moment ago, chinese market share 56% of the batteries comes from china and 70% of the lithium, so the more we mandate the cars in the country, at least right now, aren't we just continuing to line the pockets of china? >> right. so, we have taken a hammer to our -- one of our greatest resources, our energy economy, our fossil fuel economy. we have lowered our standard of living, and so we have ceded and prosperity to nations that hate us, to iran and russia by reducing our energy output, our oil and natural gas output here, and then in turn we -- to sean's point, we, by this electric

vehicle boondoggle are handing power and our borrowed money to china. does anyone in the biden administration understand a cost benefit analysis, or basic math? to sean's point, do we have enough capacity to generate the electricity to meet this mandate where two-thirds of cars on the road new cars sold will be electric by 2032? no, the bigger problem is what goes on at the local leg of the grid. transmitting electricity to individual homes and businesses. that does not exist. it will cost vast amounts of money to build that out so what happens, the cost of electricity is going to skyrocket. i will point to the cpi,

consumer price index that came out this morning. in the last year, electricity prices are up more than 10%, more than 10% under joe biden, electricity prices have gone up more than 24% and, wait, let me just finish, under president trump, 24% and a little more than two years under biden. under president trump, four years, 5% increase. >> sandra: that's if you can get to a charging station, right? the e.v. charging stations, 63% of counties had five or fewer charging stations installed. 39% had none at all. >> the reason -- by the way, the e.u. has reversed course and as backed away from the internal combustion engine ban because these cars, the electric

vehicles, are so expensive. the battery costs will skyrocket, none of this makes any sense. >> go to my home state of wisconsin where it's really cold, batteries don't last as long, and rural, no charging stations. this does not work. and one last point, all subsidized by the federal government, money will go to the car manufacturer, already $32 trillion, you can't afford this transition. oil and gas is cheap. >> sandra: and my initial point, make it safe for people to get back on public transportation. what's more green than that. >> don't say that, because the climate crusaders acknowledge that the rare earth materials come from these nations like congo, so they want people to cluster in the cities so we don't have to use automobiles at all. one quick thing, so the electric

vehicles are assembled with half the labor force as traditional automobiles with internal combustion engine. means the uaw will lose half the workforce. i think the unions will put a stop that this. >> and a legal challenge, way overreach from the biden administration, fail in the supreme court. you'll be saved by the courts. >> sandra: sean and dagen, we look forward to watching you both tonight, i'm sure it will be a hot show. appreciate it. bill, where are you on all this? >> bill: i live in california, born and raised there. they are trying to do the same thing, go all electric. we have rolling blackouts, any time there is a heat wave, and shut the power off during fire season, you have nothing to plug into. you can't get out of your neighborhood during fire season if the power shut off, a lot of questions they have to figure

out. >> sandra: and bjorn says the infrastructure is not there. people will buy the cars if they are efficient, access charging stations, affordable. why do you mandate something that is naturally not happening. >> bill: it's a big talker. manhattan d.a. bragg has filed a federal lawsuit against jim jordan, the lawsuit accuses him of interfering in the criminal prosecution of former president trump. congressman jordan recently subpoenaed documents and testimony from bragg and a former assistant prosecutor on the case. bryan, what's happening n ex with this lawsuit? >> bill, the first court hearing is next wednesday, a federal judge could decide whether or not to issue a temporary

restraining order to prevent one of manhattan d.a.'s former prosecutors from testifying to congress the next day on thursday. jim jordan says testimony from bragg's former prosecutor, mark pomeranz, could prove the felony case against former president trump is a political witch hunt. he refuses to testify to congress, led investigations into trump's financial dealings before taking about the frustration that bragg failed to move forward with the case. bragg's office is suing to block all subpoenas from the judiciary committee relating to the trump criminal case, calling jordan's investigation unprecedent brazen and unconstitutional attack. subpoenaing a former line prosecutor to talk about an ongoing criminal prosecution and investigation is no less of an afront to state sovereignty than subpoenaing the district

attorney himself. chairman jordan claims he is seeking to conduct oversight but no power under the constitution to oversee state and local criminal matters. >> alvin bragg used federal funds to indict a former president for no crime and then when we asked questions about it when we want to investigate, he takes us to court. they are obstructing our constitutional duty to do oversight. >> the lawsuit was filed 24 hours after republican house judiciary members announced they will be holding a hearing right here in manhattan, bill, to hear testimony from victims of crimes committed under d.a. bragg's tenure. >> and a story that seems to get a new tentacle almost every day at this point. thank you. >> sandra: loudoun county public schools now facing a federal investigation, comes after a father accused the district of covering up his daughter's

sexual assault by a bilogical boy, wearing a skirt in the girl's bathroom. a live report on that just ahead. >> bill: more fallout over leaked classified documents as we are learning the u.s. has a "small military presence at the american embassy in ukraine" with u.s. special forces operating inside of the war torn country. former cia station chief dan hoffman is up next what this means for our relationships and our interests across the world. >> not only does it hurt our ability to work with our allies, now they are saying how can i trust you, but the treasure trove given to the adversaries is enormous. veteran homeowners:

>> sandra: right now officials at the pentagon and the justice

department are scrambling to find the source of the classified documents leak. defense secretary lloyd austin promising the u.s. officials will turn over every rock until they find who is responsible. our next guest says it's not going to be easy. a former cia station chief dan hoffman will be with us in a moment, but first jennifer griffin, are investigators any closer to finding this leaker? >> well, sandra, we don't know at this point, not a lot of information coming out. but senior u.s. officials have been working overtime reaching out to u.s. allies to make amends for the untimely leaks and to rebuild allied trust. secretary austin spoke with his south korean counterpart yesterday and met today at the pentagon with ukraine's prime minister. he ignored shouted questions about the classified document leaks which included withering battlefield assessments that many fear could harm the ukraine

spring offensive against the russian military. >> mr. secretary, are you concerned the document leak was -- >> thank you, press. we are leaving now, thank you. >> a day earlier, the defense secretary austin promised to find the culprit. >> we take this very seriously and we will continue to investigate and turn over every rock until we find the source of this and the extent of it. >> the hunt is on for the mole who leaked these 53 classified documents posting them online in a gamer's chat room. the culprit left enough seemingly amateurish clues the intelligence committee and justice department hope to narrow the pool quickly and bring charges. anyone who printed the classified material would have left a digital footprint that can be traced. >> we don't know who did this, don't know what reason, and

don't know what else the individual or individuals might have and still release. >> chinese officials are using the leak to embarrass the u.s. and fuel distrust among u.s. allies. >> the leaked military documents clearly show that the u.s. is deeply involved in the ukraine crisis and the u.s. long used technological advantage to do secret theft, eaves dropping and spying on all countries in the world, including allies. the u.s. side should explain it to the community. >> what kept him up at night. >> deeply unfortunate leak of classified documents is certainly as intense as anything. >> huge frustration here at the pentagon about the leak creating a distraction while the u.s. tries to counter china and russia in taiwan and ukraine. sandra. >> sandra: live at the pentagon, jen, thank you. >> bill: bring in dan hoffman

for more on this. my first question, based off the secret intelligence that was released by this leaker, what can you glean about a possible motive on the leaker's behalf? a lot of the information has to do with our allies. what do you think the leaker is trying to accomplish here? >> so i think the motive is the one thing that's extremely clear. whoever pilfered these documents, it could have been a state actor or china, a malicious insider, they sought to weaponize the dissemination of the documents on the internet to cause harm to the united states of america. if you look at some of the documents that were released, and it really almost does not matter if they are true or parts have been fabricated because that information is out there on the internet, and it's travelling fast. and it does not matter if it's true or propaganda, it's going to cause a lot of damage. if you look at allegations of u.s. spying on ukraine, south korea providing the united

states with artillery they knew would be shipped off to ukraine, against, a violation of their law, reports that egypt was going to provide russia with rockets that turkey is arming the wagner group, all of those things were designed to drive a wedge between the united states and allies. so, clearly those responsible, it could one person or many, was targeting the united states. >> and a lot of the documents had to do with our relationship with ukraine, some weapons needs, batallions they are planning to deploy out there. what lloyd austin had to say about a conversation with his ukrainian counterpart, trying to reassure him they are trying t figure this out. >> he and the leadership remain focused on the task at hand and i have every confidence that they will do what good leaders, great leaders do. they will fight the enemy and not be driven by a specific plan. >> so dan, this leaker is still

out there, potentially may still have access to this highly classified information. why should our allies have faith in us that anything they share with the united states is not going to pop up on discord or social media in a matter of days? >> yeah, i mean, that's the concern. i can tell from you having gone through this as a cia officer serving overseas, when you are trying to recruit a source or run an existing source, and the source is taking a risk, perhaps to his own life on behalf of our national security, you are trying to reassure them we are going to protect their information. that job just got an awful lot harder. we also rely on our allies to share sensitive information and protect it and if we fail to do that, that does drive grave concerns about the extent to which we can be trusted. there are obvious concerns about bilateral issues between our nations, among our nations, united states and ukraine and other allies, and that's over to secretary blinken and his team

to deal with. it's going to take a lot of the oxygen up in the diplomatic meetings. at the tactical level, when it comes to sharing intelligence, we are in a much worse place as a result of this counter intelligence flap. >> bill: and will the leaker be caught, does he have access to more information, and will more information come out in the coming days. thank you for your time. >> sandra: thank you. the search continues in minnesota now for the missing mother of two not seen or heard from in almost two weeks now. what we are learning about new leads on the suspicious disappearance of maddy kingsbury. >> bill: and senator tim scott takes a major step towards the white house. will list candidacy shake up the primaries? katie pavlich and juan williams

>> sandra: to these brand-new pictures here on this developing situation out of richmond, indiana, more than 2,000 people there have been forced from their homes. they are still under evacuation orders there at this hour as this massive fire broke out at an indiana recycling plant and it continues obviously to burn, sending toxic smoke to fill the air there. the e.p.a. has said that it is monitoring the situation and the air quality there. the white house says president biden spoke with indiana's governor and is offering additional federal assistance, but these are toxic fumes. we are told so far that this could be going on for days.

it's about a 14-acre property, and residents within a half mile radius of this plastic recycling plant in richmond have been ordered to evacuate and they are still under those orders at this hour. we will continue to monitor this out of richmond. >> incredible live images, thank you. at least 100 law enforcement officers were searching for a 26-year-old mom of two who vanished in minnesota. they are calling her disappearance involuntary and suspicious. alexis, where exactly are the police concentrating search efforts? >> it's kind of shifted now, we are told this is now focused around the steep ravines, they searched the woods and some bodies of water near madeline kingsbury's home, they have been out daily looking for this missing mom, searching the area

on foot and by air. law enforcement is using helicopters and drones in that search and a lot of agencies are helping out. so it's been 12 days and counting now since maddy was last seen in winona, minnesota. that's about two hours southeast of minneapolis. police tell us she dropped her two young kids off at a local daycare around 8:00 that morning. she was with the kids' father, a normal thing they did together. then drove home and parked her van in her driveway. that was the last time she was spotted. detectives found her wallet, her phone and jacket inside of her house. they say the disappearance is involuntary. maddy's sister said she knew something was up when she did not hear from her for hours. >> my mom actually sent me a message asking if i had heard from my sister that day because my mom had sent some messages that had response. she was supposed to come visit

my house the next morning with her daughter and typically, you know, we would have discussed those plans since it was coming up, so it was that evening and we started kind of connecting with her friends and seeing if anyone had heard from her. >> can't really imagine what the family is going through. the children's dad, not named by police, told investigators he left madeline's house around 10:00 this morning, he was driving about 30 miles away in wisconsin. he says when he got back to the house, maddy was gone. police say they will release a new statement this afternoon. what would be in it, we are not sure, seems things are going on behind the scenes. one of the search volunteers tells me it's a close knit community in minnesota and people are uneasy maddy has still not been found. >> bill: two weeks is a long time for a family to hope for some answers. alexis, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: rnc chair mcdaniel

that they will have the first debate in milwaukee. number of candidates continues to grow and is expected to grow. south carolina senator tim scott this morning launching a presidential exploratory committee. bring in our political panel now. katie pavlich is here, town hall.com editor and juan williams is here, fox news senior political analyst. thank you for being here. katie, where do you see it going with tim scott? >> well, first i think that his opening statement about his exploratory committee was fantastic, and he talked about general election message by defending america from the left, and the character of the country against the left's attack we have an evil country, oppressive country, and he talked about his own life story which i think everybody in america and republican voters in a primary should hear about how he came out of poverty to become a senator from south carolina, and he has a story to tell.

everyone is going to be asking what's the difference between him and donald trump, asking him to define himself that way. there is not a single attack launched against donald trump that people have not heard, if republicans want to break out in the primary, at least stand out, they have to sell themselves as an alternative and also someone who can beat joe biden in the general election. >> sandra: let's hear more from tim scott himself, this is on selling a message of hope, juan. your reaction. >> i have found that people are starving for hope, starving for an optimistic positive message anchored in conservative values. i can't think of a better story to tell than the story of america. this is a land of opportunity, not a land of oppression. the drug of victimhood being sold by joe biden and the radical left is wrong. >> sandra: what do you think of his pitch, juan, do you think he's got a good chance of becoming the nominee? >> well i think he's on the

second tier, former president trump is the front runner and right behind florida governor ron desantis. but i think this is a very intriguing addition to that second tier and remember, so much is up in the air, we are far ahead, you know, far from the actual decision about who is going to be the nominee. but what you see from tim scott is he's on a faith in america listening tour, sandra, and that faith in america message, i think, is key. he's reaching out to evangelicals on the right, and he's trying to be their candidate. now, that's a crowded lane even on that second tier because you've got former president pence who has a strong connection to the evangelical community, and you've also got former south carolina governor nikki haley also trying to reach out to that evangelical community, which is so strong in south carolina. she was, as i said, a two-term governor and she, by the way,

appointed tim scott in 2012 to the u.s. senate. so there's something of an intramural battle in that state. >> sandra: interesting analysis there and more from tim scott how he says he wants to plan to focus not so much on biden's failures but focus more on gop policies that work. listen. >> the field of play is focusing on president biden's failures. what americans want to see is the contrast between the radical left and the blueprint to ruin america and why our policies actually work. >> sandra: seems they want to focus on the failures, too, listen to that more clearly. but pointing out gop policies that work. what do you think about that, katie? this is, you know, in the middle of a lot of questions over gop messaging, and whether or not they are going to get this right. >> well, look, the country is in a very difficult position and if

republicans want to win and be in office and have power they want to have solutions that affect everyday lives of people. and take notes from the playbook of republican governors around the country and issues, school choice is one of them, tim scott talked about that, and in washington, an advocate for criminal justice reform. let's not forget that democrats killed his criminal justice reform bill, they did not want give him issues on funding the police and policing issues across the country. he has a number of solutions on the federal level and state level and what people are looking for, he hones in on those issues that affect everyday people and the things they care about most. not a birds' eye view but everyday lives. >> sandra: very interesting, as we look at the declared

republican candidates and now tim scott, that field is growing. it's going to make that debate stage pretty interesting come august. thanks to both of you. great to see you, katie. >> bill: a father is slamming the loudoun county school district actions back in 2021, accusing it of covering up his daughter's sexual assault by a boy wearing a girl's skirt in the bathroom. now the feds are investigating. >> sandra: and what one man does with a pregnant woman and child as they are crossing over the border over barbed wire, as title 42 is set to expire and a stronger surge of migrants is expected. >> look at everything we have to deal with, it's scary we have to deal with more illegal border crossings what we have to try to also deal with the drugs that cross the border as well.

this is the picture of that fire. earlier we brought you the jun junkyard fire in pennsylvania that we also are monitoring. very little information on that so far but will continue to update the viewers as we get more details. u.s. department of education launching a formal investigation into loudoun county public schools in virginia, following accusations they did not address two high profile sexual assault cases. david spunt, in addition to a state investigation, david? >> that's exactly right. a state investigation wrapped up in december of last year, some scathing comments about the district there. this federal investigation really shines a light on problems plaguing this district since 2021. the department of education opened this as you said in response to two sexual assaults accusations that happened on campus, also accusations that

school leaders did not adequately address these assault cases from 2021. one involving a teenage girl who authorities say was raped by a biological boy wearing a skirt in a girl's bathroom. a conservative group called america first legal foundation filed a formal complaint with the education department a few months ago, arguing the district, meaning loudoun county did not properly respond to the victim's claims of sexual assault as required by the federal law, title ix. >> foundation of title ix is protecting students and we have laid out the evidence that should give the department of education a road map where to start looking. >> loudoun county said this statement, they are committed to making safety highest priority, student privacy we will not comment further at this time. the former superintendent was not only fired but a grand jury

indicted him for lying at that now infamous school board meeting in 2021 and the special grand jury from the state investigation said the district "failed at every juncture." sandra. >> sandra: david, thank you very much. >> bill: from hollywood to the governor's mansion and now the nearest pothole? >> you are welcome. you have to do it yourself. for three weeks i've been waiting for the hole to be closed. >> bill: yes, that is arnold schwarzenegger, and he's rolling up his sleeves to fill up a neighborhood pothole. and why fans are admiring the governator. >> sandra: and a shortage of

>> bill: welcome back. doctors across the united states are raising alarm of a critical shortage of lifesaving cancer

drugs and are warning patients could die waiting for the medication they need. dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine, and also a fox news contributor. and he is kind enough to join us to talk about this. doctor, thank you. let's talk about the drugs in shortage, pull up the information from the fda, apologize if i mispronounce some. one, pluvicto prostate cancer, and another for another cancer, and chemo drugs. what's the source of it happening right now? >> before i get to that, bill, i want to talk about the drugs specifically. methotrexate, 6 million prescriptions a year, and american society of healthcare pharmacist is deeply in shortage a million a year. you mention bcg. if you get it into the bladder in time with bladder cancer it

does not spread, so you save a life with that. why is this happening? first of all, active pharmaceutical ingredients come from china and india. well, china shut down a whole society, we saw that. and india, also has had waves of covid that have shut things down. so the ingredients are not there, manufacturers are in a shortage. then compounding this problem, equally as important, in 2020, our whole society was shut down as you know. people were afraid to get routine screenings, bill. they did not get the cancer diagnosed early. if i diagnose lung cancer early i can get it out with a robot. if i diagnose breast cancer early, save a live with early detection. but if people are not going for screenings and these were down in 2020, the british medical journal estimates 10,000 increase in mortality for every month delay in screenings. so the combination of fear and even when we reopened, by the

way, people were afraid to get screenings. so the delay in screenings, the lack of ingredients and the manufacturing shortages and not making much of a profit on the drugs all involved. >> bill: and as you mentioned, time is key when it comes to a cancer diagnosis, and affected almost everybody in the country knows somebody affected by it. real quick, 30 seconds here. in your opinion, should the federal government get involved to shore up supply? >> bill, why you are a great reporter. the answer is yes. we saw, by the way, with operation warp speed how a public-private partnership can work. something called the defense production act. this is an emergency. the federal government, fda has to be directly involved, working with the manufacturers to get the drugs we need to save people's lives, absolutely. >> bill: doctor, as always. thanks for your in sight.
