6:00 am
rachel. thank you again for joining us. >> so happy to be here. brian requested his favorite song. >> 21 reasons. now the show is over, please get dressed. >> bill: good morning and the search for answers on that disastrous decision made in kabul begins today. a house committee about to hold a hearing on america's withdrawal. 13 american troops killed. last month the white house blamed the chaos on the trump team. so we're keeping a close eye on this hearing starting later this morning. want to get to this. the man in charge of the border back on the hill today. republicans laying the ground work to impeach dhs secretary mayokas. his testimony only minutes away
6:01 am
as we wait this today. good morning, everybody. 9:00 in new york. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." it is good to be with you again. secretary mayokas will go before the house homeland security committee at the top of the hour and appeared before the senate yesterday. it reignited republican calls to remove him from office. >> he said the expiration of title 42 that begins in may will fuel a surge of illegal crossings. one estimate putting the number at 11,000 a day. mayokas did not dispute that number. >> dana: lawmakers pressed him on reports that migrant children are being forced to work at factories and slaughterhouses. watch here. >> have you seen this report from "the new york times" migrant children work brutal jobs across the united states? have you seen this? >> i have. let me share with you what we are doing. >> have you seen these numbers? reports of trafficking and abuse
6:02 am
of migrant children. you can see a massive surge that begins to happen when, when you come to office in 2021. huge surge. reports of trafficking, reports of neglect and abuse. >> senator, the horrific exploitation of children is something that we do not condone. you are incorrectly attributing it to our policies. >> dana: house home linoleate security mark green will lead today's hearing and hear from him in a moment. let's go to bill melugin in washington, d.c. with more. hi, bill. >> good morning. that's right. secretary mayokas very likely going to get another grilling this morning in d.c. as he testifies before the house homeland security committee. mark green is the committee chairman and stated he plans to produce what he calls high crimes and misdemeanors against mayokas. yesterday mayokas got a lashing from some republican senators as he testified before the senate
6:03 am
homeland security committee. that included a fiery exchange part of what you showed with senator josh hawley who con torontoed him about "new york times" reporting that unaccompanied minor children are being forced to work in deplore able conditions in the u.s. without proper dhs vetting of their sponsor. >> you began pressuring officials and agencies to skip the vetting process and get these kids out as soon as possible to sponsors who weren't vetted. as shelters filled with children, the administration began loosening vetting restrictions and urging case managers to spoofed up the process. you have facilitated this modern day servitude of minor children. why should you not be impeached for this? >> i look forward to discussing this issue further because you are misstating the facts so terribly.
6:04 am
>> during that hearing kansas senator roger marshall introduced a resolution to have the senate take a vote of no confidence. >> i stand at the ready to receive articles of impeachment from the house and conduct an impeachment trial in this body. in the meantime i this i the senate must show colleagues in the house we have had enough of the failures from the department of homeland security and believe that the secretary is not fit to faithfully carry out the duties of his office. >> i did reach out to house speaker kevin mccarthy's office to find if there is an update on mayokas's potential impeachment on their end. here is what they said. house republicans through our committee's diligent work are keeping our commitment to investigate every order, action and failure of mayokas. as stated before, the findings from these investigations will determine whether to begin an impeachment inquiry. back live the house hearing with mayokas set to take off in about one hour from now. we'll be all over it and keeping
6:05 am
a close eye on it. send it back to you. >> bill: thank you, bill. mark green is the chairman of that committee and is with me now. thank you for your time. >> thanks for having me. >> bill: may 11 it expires, 15 days from now. what will we do with 11,000 asylum seekers a day? >> well, mayokas is going to usher them into the united states. he has established this mechanism with an app, cbp1 app to grant parole to anyone who goes through the app to speed people into the country. it is all intentional. they have opened our southern border. tragically the cartels have seized the opportunity and are using it to get drugs and to smuggle people. so it is making them billions of dollars and it is destabilizing cities across america. >> dana: bill melugin reported on josh hawley pressing mayokas yesterday about this report
6:06 am
about migrant child labor and here is the numbers. this is unaccompanied children encounters at the southwest borders since the beginning of the biden administration is 354,000. and then you had karine jean-pierre, the press secretary to the president, she is blaming congress. watch here? >> look, it's unacceptable. we crack down on violators and vet -- more vigorously vet sponsors. launch chang new task force to -- we need congress to provide the resources we need to enforce. >> dana: their position is mayokas doesn't need to be impeached but they need more resources. how will your committee deal with that? >> it is very interesting if you take the first two years of this administration, they have had more people come into the united states than all 12 years of the
6:07 am
two previous administrations combine. not a sudden decrease in resources. the dollars to their department didn't go down. the number of cbp didn't go down. what changed was the deletion of 89 policies that have been very effective in keeping those numbers down. i totally disagree with the secretary. he waived the background checks on the sponsors. it was their policy decision to waive the background checks on these sponsors and why the situation occurred with these forced labor. it is a lie for him to say it is not his policies. that's the only thing that has changed. >> bill: but even if you got your wish and mayokas resigned, you got him impeached, what is the signal on behalf of this administration that anything would change at the border? >> we can only hold accountable
6:08 am
the people are sitting in the chair. this guy is supposed to secure the border, the cyber and physical borders, maritime borders. he has failed. i will show today at 10:00 when we have him in front of us that he have has lied under oath to congress. this guy should not be in the chair and we'll face whoever the president puts back in the seat. mayokas cannot be the secretary of homeland security with this big a failure. >> dana: president biden has confidence in mayokas or otherwise he would be gone. the white house says yes. the republicans have a narrow majority in the house. you could presumably get it passed if you were able to get it to a floor vote to impeach him but it won't happen in the senate. is it time well spent to try to impeach mayokas? >> the senate said they wouldn't vote for the d.c. crime bill. the president said he wouldn't vote for it. as we educated the american people with our messaging they
6:09 am
changed their mind. even the president himself said i won't side with the carjackers. i think if we can get the message out there what is really happening at the southern border, the senators will be forced. think about young children being exploited. if there is a senator who thinks that is okay let them go back to their people. i think the rancor will get loud enough maybe they'll act. i hope they have that much decency over there. >> bill: thank you for your time. mark green, the congressman from tennessee. "new york times" reported this. as migrant children are put to work, u.s. ignored warnings the white house and federal agencies were repeatedly alerted to signs of children at risk and the warnings were ignoreed or missed. when mayokas is in that position or not he made it clear on 60 minutes a month ago how he felt about border policies. whether mayokas is in the job or not this had -- administration
6:10 am
told us how they feel. >> dana: you would talk to susan rice, the head of domestic policy. the reports went to her. what mark green said about the sponsors, their backgrounds being waived. what happens is let's say you are a child and get connected to this person who might be a long lost relatives and they make you work off the cost of your care and that's why these kids aren't going to school and they are here now i guess legally but don't have the path to citizenship and not getting educated and forced to work in terrible conditions. >> bill: and on it goes. may 11 circle your calendar we'll be in a new phase when it hits. >> dana: fox news alert. court appearance for the 21-year-old air national guardsman charged leaking sensitive pentagon material has been postponed. it was supposed to happen this morning. what happened, alexis?
6:11 am
>> we're trying to figure out why he was removed on the docket. we were expecting him to be here inside the federal court to learn new details about this case that officials say has put u.s. intelligence in major jeopardy. it has been pushed to may. what we thought would happen today. the judge would decide we heard if jack teixeira would be released or remain in federal custody until the trial. he faces at least two federal charges. the i.t. specialist posted hundreds of top secret documents online including detailed maps from ukraine and the substance of russia's army. the air force renewed the intelligence mission out in cape code. that's where the unit that teixeira had access to the document. now the government is looking into scaling down the list of people with access to this information. >> that's part of the review.
6:12 am
who has access to -- who is able to access and review sensitive and classified information and part of that is not just looking here within the building but across our components worldwide. that is something that our team here is looking at. >> right now the justice department investigating how many more of these documents are still on the internet. pentagon expecting more classified information will be found possibly in the coming days. teixeira hasn't entered a plea. we were expecting to get more on the information. not on the docket anymore. figuring out in the trial is boston or virginia. so many of the documents are from the pentagon. >> dana: a chilly new england spring day. thank you. >> at what point does it start to really change our society do you think? >> i think it starts to happen
6:13 am
probably an impact this year. very likely people will use a.i. as a tool in elections. >> bill: elon musk sounding the alarm on a.i. interfering in how you vote. how things are getting weird really fast, end quote. >> dana: a suspect with nearly a dozen prior arrest smashes an nypd officer over the head with a motive. >> bill: the chinese spy flight reigniting concerns over ufos. a hearing on that this morning. a lot of republicans say the white house needs to keep an eye on the skies. >> you have ccp agents targeting people on american soil. this should be very concerning for americans. we need to defend our sovereignty.cash ? with a home loan from newday, take out an average of $70,000, pay off debts and high rate credit cards, and save hundreds every month.

>> dana: elon musk sounding the alarm on promise and peril of artificial intelligence weighing the risk of the technology becoming smarter than humans themselves. when it comes to voting and elections he says the rapidly emerging technology is simply getting out of hand. >> what's the timeline here? at what point does it start to really change our society do you think? >> i think it starts to happen probably an impact this year. it is already past the point of what most humans can do. most humans can't write as well as chatgpt and no human can write that well that fast to the best of my knowledge. >> can you have a democracy with this? >> that's why i talk about a.i. being an influence in inelections. people will use it as a tool in elections.
6:20 am
and then if a.i. is smart enough, are they using the tool or is the tool using them? so i think things are getting weird and getting weird fast. >> dana: yesterday we had that report about the scam that was happening where the a.i. can imitate your daughter's voice and then the bad guy calls and plays it and says seor we'll ki. imagine that kind of scam being played in politics. it's very scary. >> bill: it can happen sooner than you think. another clip here musk is involved in so many things including taking us maybe to mars someday, all right? the conversation a little exchange on alien life and how he views it right now. >> you know, i'm very familiar with space stuff. and i've seen no evidence of aliens. fastest way to get a budget increase is pull out an alien.
6:21 am
yeah, there could be an invasion or arriving any minute. >> our consciousness makes us unique in the universe so far as we know. >> i'm not saying we're unique but to the best of my knowledge there is no other evidence for other life. >> bill: if anyone would know it, i would know it. if we had an alen right away. >> someone in my life is not a skeptic so i'll send this along. >> bill: he was good on the perils of the current economy when it comes to commercial reals stae it in america and explained it well and clearly. >> dana: people aren't going back to work. >> bill: you have to question the value of the holdings for all these buildings in all major american cities and who backs that up? the banks. they used to use real estate as collateral to back up their loans. if you have 40% capacity in san

francisco, 50% capacity in new york city at some point you will have to pay the piper. that's what he was saying. we could go on and on. congress holding a second public hearing on ufos in 50 years comes after lawmakers criticize president biden for waiting five days before shooting down that chinese spy craft off south carolina coast back in february. griff jenkins waiting for that hearing with us now. good morning. >> good morning. maybe soon we'll get answers that elon musk was pondering. are we alone? let's start with the fact you mentioned it is only the second hearing of its kind in 50 years. we don't call them ufos anymore. they are unidentified an alm -- there is an aldo main resolution office aaro and raising eyebrows after publishing a bazaar
6:23 am
academic paper last month co-authored with a harvard professor saying they could be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to earth. another big question that dr. kirkpatrick will face is how many of these are actually weather balloons. we know the national weather service launches balloons from 92 sites twice a day. another 900 sites worldwide that launch twice a day. 2,000 globally. senator gillibrand who help create the aaro office says over the past two years over 300 incidences were deemed weather balloons. 171 were undetermined. >> if we want to make sure that our adversaries aren't spying on us or using new technology or have aircraft that we don't even know how it functions or how fast or effective it is, that's a national security risk. military hasn't been doing that
6:24 am
work. they've just assumed they are non-adversarial. >> gillibrand is the chairwoman of the subcommittee. the hearing starts in an hour. bill, there is a public portion and classified closed portion. that closed portion will certainly fuel perhaps more questions and conspiracies. >> bill: like to be on the ladder. it would be interesting. nice to see you in d.c. >> dana: inflation, rate hikes and recession fears oh my. it is no wonder public pessimism has hit a high. 69% of americans say they hold a negative view of the economy. they do not expect it to improve any time soon. frustrating for a white house who maintains jacque heinrich that the economy is great. >> the highest percentage of people in the survey's 17 year history saying they hold negative views about the economy now and in the future. only 12% of people in that survey saying they feel
6:25 am
optimistic. 69% saying they feel pessimistic with worry about inflation, high interest rates and risk of recession. the president is trying to redirect some of this blame to house speaker kevin mccarthy after his speech to wall street on monday saying that the real financial peril will come if congress does not raise the debt ceiling and allow the u.s. government to meet its financial obligations. he told wall street monday he can't pass such a bill without massive federal spending cuts. >> president biden: he threatened to become the first speaker to default on our national debt which took over 230 years to accumulate, threatening to be the first one to default on the debt that would show us into a recession and beyond unless he gets what he wants in the budget. >> biden heads to maryland where he will criticize mccarthy and house gop while proposing to slash programs veterans health and childcare with spending cap
6:26 am
requests. democrats are aligned on demands to pass a no strings attached bill to raise the debt ceiling after a white house called congressional leadership yesterday writing president biden, leader schumer and jeffries agree we won't negotiate over default and republicans should pass a clean bill like they did three times in the previous administration. some house democrats are breaking this lock step between the white house as democrat controlled senate and house democrats. problem solvers caucus voted on a proposal to support this to raise the debt limit for six months and also finding ways to reduce the national debt. signs here that some house democrats aren't willing to wait. >> dana: thank you very much. economy is a big source of stress for people and you might recall bill and i interviewed bill perkins author of "die with 0." i did a podcast with him. it is an excellent listen if you

i'm christine mahon. i'm retired from public health nursing and from the army reserve. my retirement funds allow me to enjoy what i love to do. as long as you can make an impact, why stop? >> bill: another vicious attack on the streets of new york city. want to warn you this is disturbing here. a man accused attacking an nypd
6:33 am
cop unprovoked striking her over the head with a bottle. suspect has a long record. david lee miller with more on the story. disturbing indeed. >> good morning. the nypd officer was taken to a local hospital and reported in stable condition after a man hit her on the head with a bottle. the injured officer was investigating illegal smoke shops when 45-year-old jose garcia walked up from behind and struck her with a bottle. he appears to also attack the injured officer's partner. garcia is restrained. the "new york post" reports he told cops god told him to do this and that there were people in his house and no one did anything. garcia faces seven charges including assault. resisting arrest and criminal possession of a weapon. cops say he has five previous arrests including robbery and grand larceny. the most recent was back in
6:34 am
2007. the latest crime data shows that compared to the same period last year felony assaults are up 8% in the city but other major crimes have declined including murder rates and robberies, bill. >> bill: thank you. david lee miller with the fallout from that in new york. >> dana: paul mauro is a retired nypd inspector. i feel so sorry for the police officer. brazen criminals and demoralized cops equals more crime. is that what we're seeing? >> it's apparent the denigration of respect following the 2020 riots taken stronghold in new york and incidents like this. if somebody like that is willing to do that to a police officer, who is standing with other police officers, you can say to yourself is that person, what will they do to other citizens not armed and not with partners? you have almost certainly somebody who will be chronically involved in the criminal justice system and there doesn't seem to
6:35 am
be a willingness to recognize that we have a very strong coherent sub group in the city that are responsible for the majority of the malfeasance. you have the 327 shoplifters that "the new york times" referenced. over 6,000 incidents and a lot of mentally ill. it is a particular group that if you manage to mitigate that you would take quality of life in this city way forward. it doesn't seem to be a willingness to recognize it. >> bill: washington, d.c. is an example, chicago is a good example, san francisco. there is an interview done with brandon johnson who is now the mayor elect in chicago that happened on wgn in chicago two years ago following the riots in chicago. this is how he answered the questions from the news anchors there on wgn. >> is that the answer, to loot? >> no one is going to condone
6:36 am
behavior that quite frankly speaks to a level of desperation. >> so you aren't condoning looting. >> i'm saying that people are acting out of desperation. >> you're not condoning looting. >> there is no way to embrace that. what i'm saying is you can't condone the looting that corporations continue to do every single day when they take tax dollars from black, brown and white folks all over the city of chicago so they can turn a profit. >> bill: so that's his mind frame as the next mayor three years later in chicago. >> they elected him, right? you get from what you vote for. we know the term for this is restorative justice. the idea here is that well, some of this activity is going to get a pass because it is restorative. it is justified. and i think you saw it a little bit in some of the chicago mayor's reaction to the recent mayhem over the weekend when he
6:37 am
said we can't demonize the people doing it. recognizing the fact that somebody is behaving badly doesn't mean you are demon ayer'sing them. it is common sense. if you rule an entire city, america's second city you have to recognize that. unfortunately there seems to be a willful blindness. for instance, the segment we started off with, where the cop gets hit with the bottle. those cops shouldn't be there. that's an illegal weed shop. when albany put in the decriminalization of weed shops, an unwillingness to recognize we have people who will act badly. they have to get the sheriffs office to go after the weed shops. there is only 200 of them. you have two cops who could be doing something else. have to stand around outside a weed shop. listen to this. the weed shops can't even use the banking system because marijuana is illegal federally still. so as a result they are an
6:38 am
all-cash business. you use the banking system you are guilty of narcotics money laundering. they have all-cash systems. 2,000 of them all over the city unregulated. police barely have any enforcement power. what do you think will happen? it's another goal by out of touch politicians who want to look good and feel good and don't care what is happening to everybody on the street. >> dana: is this a warning to other cities who are going the legalization of marijuana route, they better figure out the other end of this so they don't end up in the same position? >> they better. in new york city it was so slipshod the way they put it through this is a workaround. they came up with the idea the sheriff can get in there because the sheriff has jurisdiction over tobacco products. they do the enforcement. if you didn't have that the best you could do is have a cop
6:39 am
standing and waiting for a sale. sale is illegal. the whole thing is a mish mash. it was just done for whatever ideological reasons in albany post 2020. we are all living with the results. it is another governmental-owned goal that we're suffering. >> bill: paul mauro, thank you. 'tis the season. >> dana: 'tis the moment. watch here. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: the buffalo bills announcing hamlin can play football again after suffering a cardiac arrest in january. hamlin telling reporters yesterday he is grateful to be alive. >> not to sound cliche but the wow moment is being able to wake up and take deep breaths and live a peaceful life.
6:40 am
to have a family, to have people around me that love me and care about me and for those people to still have me in their lives they almost lost me. i died on national tv in front of the whole world, you know what i mean? >> dana: what a story of his own tenacity. what the doctors were able to do and now back at practice. that was him live in the flesh. it is not a fake, guys. >> bill: buffalo is living a miracle. enjoy it while you have it. 20 minutes before the house. this from yesterday on china and covid and the two tied together, watch. >> when we talk about a million dead americans that -- this is where there has to be a line in the sand and there really, you know, the biden administration needs to take this head on. >> that's john ratcliffe ringing the bell on the covid-19 outbreak as the threat to the u.s. goes beyond the pandemic and spreading across farmlands

6:47 am
there you go. >> dana: the other part of the country washington state democrats passing a controversial youth transgender law allowing minors to run away from home and receive gender affirming care all without permission from their parents. tiffany smiley is the former washington senate candidate. great to have you here with us. you were a great guest of ours during that campaign and good to have you back. let's talk about this and what you are starting to try to help america. this is chloe, a detransitioning teen from california. listen here. >> it was only half a year between being diagnosed with gender dysphoria and being medicated. the process for me was very expedited. i'm afraid my generation and the generations following are going to be led astray. >> dana: that's one person's experience. you know washington state very
6:48 am
well. how will this go over? >> you know, look, i think any time that parental rights involvement is limited, it's deeply, deeply troubling. any action that the state takes in lieu of parental involvement, especially when we're talking about healthcare and well-being of youth, needs to be really good justification. and as i traveled across washington state, i talked to thousands of parents who started to feel that they were being pushed out of their children's lives, pushed out of their children's education system by the teacher unions and activists. and parents are upset. they want hope for the future. my new project, rescuing the american dream, found that nearly 50% of parents want politics out of the classroom.

they want to get back to reading, writing and math. >> dana: top personal priorities in the american dream survey. my children and family was the top at 58.7%. the next after that is health and healthcare. you could almost put those two together is how strongly people feel. the other thing you found, though, is you asked why do people think the country is on the wrong track? call for number three shows government at 34%. then the economy and again i think you can put those two together as well as crime. the government is required to help protect the people and also to help provide the condition for a strong economy and the government is the thing that people are frustrated with. >> that's right. government and politics fit into that category as well. people are tired of partisan politics and ready for results. this survey is interesting because it is not just your typical poll. we didn't create the ideas and go to the american people. we let the american people tell
6:50 am
us what they are concerned about. majority feel like the country is on the wrong track and headed in a hopeless situation. and part of that is the partisan politics. the economy and the education of our children. so we are working to listen to the american people, to understand their beliefs, their fears and their hopes. that's exactly what this survey shows. >> dana: can i ask you about that? given that people are polarized maybe there is agreement they think the government is the problem. but do they think the solution lies in more conservative or more liberal policies to go forward? >> look, this isn't liberal or conservative, democrat or republican but the american people and what unique about rescuing the american dream. it doesn't play partisan politics. we found that majority of people still believe that this is the greatest country on earth and that we should keep it that way. so we need tangible solutions.
6:51 am
that's exactly what we're doing. we are listening, understanding what the issues are facing the american people. we'll dive in and create policy and help push it through legislation because policy should have a positive impact in the lives of americans, not a negative impact. this is different. this isn't partisan or politics. this is about the american people and listening to their voice. >> dana: can we expect to see more of you then? >> you will see a lot more of me. i look forward to traveling all over the country and listening to hard working, middle class americans being affected by bad policies. >> dana: great to have you, thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: nine minutes before the hour. accountability is on the agenda in the house oversight hearing. it is about to begin moments from now trying to find answers on the withdrawal out of kabul yet again. we'll dip into that and bring you headlines when they happen. . and if you've made the deployments

>> bill: tragic turn of events for a young woman in new york. calen gillis was shot and killed when the car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway. the homeowner came out, fired two shots, one of them struck the woman and killed her. he has been charged with second degree murder. the sheriff is jeffy murphy near the border of vermont. good morning to you. tough story here. my understanding is three vehicles were lost at night, moved into his driveway to turn around and go in a different direction. what happened then? >> that's right. thank you for having me on. you are correct. three vehicles were traveling together looking for a friend's house and mistakenly drove up in this case mr. monihan's driveway. as they determined they were at the wrong residence and they turned around. in the process the vehicle's victim was the last to turn around.
6:58 am
mr. monihan decided to come outside and fire two shots. one that struck the vehicle and ultimately struck the woman. >> bill: i guess it's a neighbor. adam matthews is the gentleman's name said it is shocking but not surprised. he had a short fuse. there was no doubt he had a short fuse. he was a bit of a narcissist. how much more do we know did kevin monihan age 65 who lives there with his wife? >> our office really hasn't had much contact with mr. monihan so as you know, this case is progressing, fairly new case for us and our investigation is continuing on that front. something we'll look at is mr. monihan's past. we have spoken to neighbors as well. i'm sure that more will unfold as to his personality. >> bill: i'm wondering if he has a defense here.
6:59 am
i only say that because it is at nighttime. it is dark. i don't know what was in his mind but maybe he thinks he is defending his wife and property. his attorney said this. the situation caused level of alarm to an elderly gentleman with an elderly life. the sheriff is acting as judge, jury and executioner. sometimes there are tragedies and victims and no villains. >> new york is not a stand your ground state. the fact that the vehicles were leaving in a key point in this case. these were young adults looking for a friend's house and determined they were in the wrong driveway. turned around and were leaving. in fact, we don't have any information that would suggest that they even exited their vehicles or rang the doorbell, for instance, or banged on a
7:00 am
door or created any kind of alarm for mr. monihan other than sitting in his driveway trying to get gps and cell service and then determining they were in the wrong place and turning around. certainly in our mind there was no threat to mr. monihan at all. in fact, like i said, leaving is the key thing. you are not under threat if the vehicle is leaving. >> bill: the woman was only 21 years old and she is not coming back. sheriff, thank you for your time. we hope the best turns out in your county in this case. thank you, sir. >> thank you very much. >> dana: catastrophic pull-out from afghanistan in the spotlight with new testimony today on capitol hill two weeks after the white house put out a 12-page report attempting to spin blame away from biden and blame president trump. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: wednesday. indeed it is
