today. dan hoffman, thank you. >> hearing from victims. hearing from families who have been impacted by this soft on crime policy. turns out when you don't put bad guys in jail, they do bad things. when you don't lock up criminals you get more crime, imagine that. >> dana: house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan earlier as we keep an eye on the field hearing underway in new york city right now. several violent crimes in manhattan are telling their stories at lawmakers shine a spotlight on district attorney alvin bragg saying his soft on crime policies have led to a rise in crime in the city after bragg sued jordan after his indictment of president trump. we'll monitor the hearing and bring you any news as it happens. race for the white house is heating up. a pac supporting desantis launches a campaign attacking

president trump. welcome to a new hour of new new. i'm dana perino. >> dana: we're off to the races now. >> bill: already. this new ad is a sign governor desantis is getting ready to jump into the race. it hits trump. >> we won't mess with social security as republicans. >> what did trump say? entitlement be on your place. >> at some point they will be. >> what happened to dump? >> dana: desantis is seen as trump's main rival not formally confirmed his candidatesy. trump shows as the frontrunner desandt is is among those making appearances in the states of iowa and new hampshire. >> no more whining, no more complaining.

now we get to work. >> if you wanted to create a blueprint on how to ruin america, you would do what president biden and the radical left have been doing. >> after all we're americans, right? isn't freedom in our d.n.a.? >> on the democratic side now president biden hasn't announced officially about his campaign. he was asked over the weekend when he came home from ireland. does he need to? "new york times" said closed door meetings when to roll out the president's campaign are intensifying and no serious primary challenge and republicans infighting he feels little pressure. >> dana: chris sununu joining us. you got on there so stealth. >> that's the way we roll in new hampshire. >> dana: you said this at a conference on friday. listen to you on friday. call for number one. >> to talk about the politics. i get nervous about 2024. if we don't have those indepent

dents back on time. we can yell and scream but we want winners for tomorrow. >> dana: i love for you to expand and tell us about the reception to the message. >> phenomenal. we've lost some independents and younger voters and they're not on our team right now. they didn't come back to the team in 2022. we're upset because we lost hard in 2022. we should have had 54 republican senators right now. we have 49. that did not pan out. if we stick with the same message and game plan we have the same result. we have a great product here. limited government, local control, individual responsibility you come first. they are not things we lead with all the time. i try to get the candidates, the presidential messaging as a whole to be where it needs to be to make sure we win as a team, as a whole team. >> bill: did you watch the

hearing we held last hour in new york? >> a lot of drama. look. it's real. it's real. there is no doubt about it. but when i go back to new hampshire people are -- inflation is real and not going away. low income families are without choices or we're dealing with homeless. the lowest poverty rate in the country and have school choice for people. we do. i good et the -- i get the drama but at the end of the day the average american facing is not hearing about it. every family is dealing with some form of mental health crisis. every family is scared about drugs and opioids and treatment and recovery systems. we should be leading on that. those should be our issues. republicans have an awesome opportunity to steal back the issues of homelessness, mental health. look at california. you can't blame a single

republican for that humanitarian disaster of san francisco and los angeles. that's all left wing. look at red states. they have typically the lowest poverty rates and the lowest -- most unemployment. the most economic success for those individuals. why aren't we stealing those issues and talking about them that resonate with the voters? >> bill: people in new york and chicago and san francisco may look at this and say you are lucky to be from new hampshire. >> dana: it's why people are moving to red states. i do want to ask about this. before we can get to any of the messaging you have to get through new hampshire in a primary and governor desantis went up there and paul stein hauser wrote this on twitter. desantis gets knocked but working the room for 45 minutes greeting the audience and activists at the annual tuck dinner. he got a pretty good reception up there in new hampshire. how do you see him doing there?

>> the best retail politics we've seen out of him. he did what we were hoping he would do. he shook hands and looked people in the eye and gave them the time. he will have to do that in 99 counties in iowa. candidates will have to do that in coffee shops and living rooms all over new hampshire. it is retail politics and shows you want to be part of the connection with the voter issues not there to pontiff cat on what you want to say for the day. you realize the message might not be what you think it is and pivot a little bit. >> bill: the u.s. supreme court says the states decide the issue of abortion and playing out in 50 different ways now. "wall street journal." desantis's gamble on abortion. mr. desantis could say the issue would be settled at the state level. that works for us, right steve editorial page but you can expect other candidates to challenge that as insufficient. he signed six weeks into law last week. how do you think it plays from

this point. >> for republicans not well. remember the scene from it's a wonderful life. every time a bell rings an angel gets his ring. when a republican talks about abortion they go to the democrats. it is terrible messaging. >> dana: governor kemp in georgia is doing great in terms of approval rating in georgia. >> a state issue. when we talk about it on national bans and what the president will do the benefit the presidential candidates have is let the states decide. the voters and governors and legislature will have accountability. when we say we'll renationalize something it scarce voters in a lot of swing states. a very secular pro-choice state. it scares us or folks in ohio, folks trying to get in arizona and a lot of folks. i'm not taking the issue where you need to be on it but understand as a party we are

terrible about the messaging and branding. >> dana: it's complicated and thorny. >> bill: we spoke a few weeks ago. you said july seems to be the time when people like you make up your mind. sticking to that? >> it is still april. there is a lot of energy. a lot of folks like the local retail politics we do. retail management that style. there is so much to play here. we haven't had a single debate or seen anyone -- it is okay to take swipes and push each other. hopefully as a party as candidates as a whole we get better. the debates won't start until september and october. >> dana: august for us. >> bill: milwaukee the end of august. >> i want winners. aren't we tired of losing? i'm tired of losers and backing losers. i want winners and the next generation, more influential.

>> i bring the ratings. that's for sure. >> bill: thanks for being here. i want to get to the race for the white house. president biden's plans. ask about it again. where are we today, mark? >> president biden continues to face repeated questions about how, when and where he will announce his 2024 presidential campaign plans. you have to argue at this point it would be a formality given he said the decision has been made. he faced questions about his 24 plan last week. wrapping up his trip in ireland and told reporters the campaign will be announced soon. didn't give a date. take a listen. >> do you know it changed your calculus when you make your announcement? >> i've made that calculus. we'll announce it relatively soon. it forced my sense of optimism

what can be done. >> you have made a decision? >> president biden: i told you my plan is to run again. >> a lot of people trying to read the tea leaves. the times said increasing discussion among the broader biden team about the notion of a low key video announcement next week the fourth anniversary of his entrance to the 2024 race. we'll watch it. the poll from late march shows only one in four democrats want to see president biden run again. at this point there are no indications he will face any serious democratic primary challenges. the white house facing pushback from members of the press who say the president is not spending enough time answering questions compared to predecessors. our team found there have been far fewer number of news conferences with president biden than trump and obama. we've called a lid at the white house. might as well go on home at this

point. >> bill: what are you doing for lunch? >> we are talking about bagels downstairs. >> you have options now. >> dana: budweiser released a patriotic new ad over the weekend after the backlash that their partnership with mulvaney. it brings back the clydesdales passing historic american landmarks. jeff flock has more from philadelphia. they put this together quickly. >> they are serious when they bring out the clydesdales at anheiser-busch. i don't know if is ad can be in direct response to this. the latest sales numbers for bud light. they're pretty light. look. sales in the first week since the controversy began down 10% in the wake of this boycott that some have called for. coors lite. that's up 5%.

miller light up 20%. the ad you mentioned. this is what the ad looks like. the shared spirit and it is fair to say patriotic and pretty much burnishing the company's patriotic bona fides. not an apology or a statement from anheiser-busch. we never intended says the ceo to be part of a discussion that divides people. we're in the business of bringing people together over the beer. does talk about the importance of accountability and values on which america was founded freedom, hard work and respect for one another. suggestion that the social media posts by the social media influencer and actress transgender dylan mulvaney is not getting a lot of respect with calls for the boycott. even a guy who started his own beer company called ultra right

beer. in the ad for that one he smashes a can of bud light with a baseball bat. can't we all just get along? >> dana: not yet, not yet, jeff. keep dreaming. thank you so much. >> i'm waiting. >> dana: have a good week. >> bill: we watched emotional testimony in lower manhattan rick new york city. victims of the city's crime crisis appearing before a house judiciary committee holding a hearing on the road. they picture the painting of a once-great city in decline. >> dana: so many questions in alabama after a mass shooting at a sweet 16 birthday party. how this tragedy unfolded. lower your monthly payments with the three c's: pay down your credit cards, pay off your car loan, consolidate your debt with a va home loan from

>> dana: that's the mother of a veteran killed in new york city appearing before the house judiciary committee hearing in manhattan this hour. the republican-led panel is focusing on crime in the big apple and progressive policies of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. it comes as crime is causing many to reconsider even living in the city. madison all worth live with more on today's hearing. >> hi, good morning. the focus of the hearing has been on those victims. they have called eight witnesses to testify to show what these soft on crime policies have done to cities like new york. one is new york council member robert holden. the other seven witnesses have been directly impacted by crime here in new york city. this is the first of multiple hearings that will be held across the u.s. chairman jim jordan chose new york as the first location because this is a city that has, quote, lost its way. listen to some of his opening

remarks. >> the district attorney justice isn't blind. it is about looking for opportunities to advance a political agenda, a radical political agenda. imagine that. you leave criminals on the street, you get more crime. >> ranking member jerrold nadler said we are here for one reason only, doing the bidding of donald trump. victims are insistent it is not political. it is justice and prevent others from lining up in their situation. you heard from the mother of a homicide victim. her son an afghanistan veteran was murdered here in new york city. she is insistent it is not about politics. listen to what she had to say. >> we don't give a damn about your politics. we don't care. it could be the man on the moon running for president, okay? as long as whoever is in there

is standing for law and order. >> a lot of emotion. quick with the numbers. when you look crime is up. some sample lynx here. robbery up 40%. felony assaults up 30%, grand larceny up over 50%. victims here today to make their case. send it back to you. >> bill: thank you, andy mccarthy watching with us, too. smart move to have this today? >> i really think, bill, crime is one of the most important issues in the country in an otherwise bleak mid-term for republicans in 2022. new york was surprisingly a bright outcome for them and i think that's because they kept the focus on crime. so is there a political element to all this? sure, there always is. but crime is one of those issues where if people don't have safe

streets and if they can't take care of their families in a basic way that really hits them where they live. as long as jim jordan keeps the focus on that it could be an important hearing. we're at a pivot moment on where crime is going in the last 6 or 7 years. >> one witness is a democrat who represents a district in queens. his name is robert holden. he told fox digital when bragg came in, the d.a., he issued that ridiculous edict he wasn't going to prosecute smaller crimes. what do we have in new york city? lawlessness on the streets i've never seen the lawlessness we're seeing now. you may have seen "the new york times" piece from over the weekend. it found a small number of criminals are responsible for thousands and thousands of crimes in new york. >> i think, bill, that's why they have to really -- the

narrow focus should be on the decarceration policies that not only alvin bragg but progressive prosecutors across the united states have implemented. can't do that without releasing violent criminals into the communities which commit more crimes. and since the decarceration idea is pushed by this sort of racialized fantasy about why people get locked up, the fact of the matter is if there is a racial component to this, it's that poor communities are dbein hurt by violent crime. the idea some people are committed criminals who need to be locked up if we keep the streets safe is something that is empiricly true. if they keep the focus on that it could be beneficial. >> bill: you have to make sure

the nypd knows officials in charge have their backs so when they're in the neighborhoods they get the job done. >> the fact is you can have as committed a police commissioner and street police as they can be, but whether crime gets prosecuted or not is up to the prosecutor. so if they won't prosecute the cases, that has a real effect on policing throughout all the communities. >> bill: the field hearings are interesting and the one in new york has been as well. thank you so much. we'll talk to you soon here in new york. andy mccarthy, thanks. good a have week. >> dana: west coast cities spared no effort keeping the public informed during the covid pandemic but kept the fentanyl crisis under wraps. why deadly drugs didn't get the attention they deserved. >> today the justice department is announcing significant enforcement actions against the largest, most violent, and most

what happened? >> yeah. that will be ironic. fate is the most likely outcome, it seems. >> bill: he started in 2016 or thereabouts and then abandoned it. now he is calling for the six-month pause. i don't think it will happen, right? no indication it is going to. you saw 60 minutes last night you would say it is not stopping. >> dana: looking forward to the interview tonight by tucker. >> bill: fentanyl and other illegal drugs are killing more people than covid. it is happening on the west coast. in san francisco alone drug overdoses claimed 1,000 more people's lives than covid since the pandemic began in 2020. dan springer is on that live in seattle. dan, hello to you and what did you find out? >> yeah, like you said, fentanyl right now in many west coast cities the big ones that we looked at is killing far more people than covid and government

seems completely powerless to be able to address the crisis. as you mentioned in seattle right now an average of 25 people are dying each week from drug overdoses, mostly fentanyl. compare that to one death every two weeks from covid. our cameras was here for the overdose. in san francisco fentanyl killed 1,000 more people than covid since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. the health department puts out lots and numbers of graphs about overdoses but enforcement is almost non-existent. the government wants to get harm reduction, narcan in the hands of everyone. vending machines for free you can get narcan and fentanyl test strips. one of the leading experts in seattle on the issue. >> the health care system intervention. that is not actually public health's primary job. you are trying to say public health we need you to take on

healthcare. >> what we're not seeing is the all-out response like during covid. the two are very different but the urgency just isn't there whether it's closing the border where the drugs come in or a big local police response. at least one local democratic mayor wants to change that. >> once you get to criminalization then you can get to street level enforcement. we aren't there yesterday. if the legislature doesn't act, we will. >> oregon decriminalized hard drugs. still illegal in washington state as a misdemeanor and no drug treatment is required. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: attorney general garland announcing charges against the sinaloa cartel including the three sons of el chapo. joining us now is d.e.a. administrator. you indicated that more would be done, action would be taken.

is this the kind of action you were talking about? >> yes. thank you so much for having me, dana. this is exactly the work we have gun to do where we're stepping back to look at the networks causing the most harm and killing americans. we looked at who is most responsible for the fentanyl on the streets of the united states. number one is the sinaloa cartel. they are in all 50 states. as you mentioned, the sinaloa cartel used to be led by el chapo and taken over in 2014 or a little after by his sons who now dominate. they pioneered and they now dominate the global fentanyl supply chain. we have done pro-active network investigation into every aspect of what they are doing. >> dana: i want everyone to look at the map of mexican cartel territories. the sinaloa cartel is dominating half the country. and so what kind of effect can you have with our sanctions if

the mexican government isn't doing the same? or are they? do you have confidence the mexican government is taking similar actions? >> first of all the most important part of this is that we didn't just do the high value targets in mexico in this investigation. we basically have gone after the other ones starting in china with chinese nationals supplying precursor chemicals to the network could make fentanyl and then to mexico where we charged the people manufacturing responsible for running these fentanyl labs and making fentanyl powder and pills. then to the violence. the assassins are the torturing and murdering and kidnapping members of the government who wound cooperate with them to the people bringing it into the united states and to the financiers. we're illuminating this entire network and think it is a vital thing to do so everyone can

understand how the supply chain operates. >> dana: i do think it's people at home to understand. let's reiterate this. you have also reached into trying to figure out how to stop people from selling from china into mexico? >> yes, that's correct. so we know that the way this global supply chain is working is that the chap itos are working with brokers. she is working with the chinese nationals buying the chemicals that are needed to make fentanyl. they then take those chemicals and again we charge in the indictment in this case 28 defendants but we charged five individuals with the precursor chemical aspect. they knowingly send chemicals they know will be used to make fentanyl to the network in mexico. then that network has a large group of people who are

responsible for mass producing the fentanyl as you and i know into the powder that is then hidden in the u.s. in cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and into the fake pills made to look exactly like ox company doan. 57 million fake pills last year in the united states. we want to show the entire network and have eight individuals in custody. one captured by mexico. captured by the mexican military in january. seven others we've captured as part of this operation. >> dana: i have a feeling you don't sleep much and we're grateful for that. keep us posted on how it goes. >> bill: she is a great guest. big doings for the boss in his home state today's hemmer celebrity news. governor phil murphy declaring september 23rd is bruce springsteen day. a big year for the jersey
