victims when you talk about $95 billion in shrink losses per year, which was our latest numbers, that is a lot of money and that is the kind of thing that is going to increase prices for everyone eventually. >> one of the big problems there is a market for these stolen goods. resale market is strong with all the options online. >> bill: that sign to your right is seen on just about every block in this city. madison, live in new york, nice to see you. >> they came today because they want answers. they came here today because of the failures of you and your leadership. they came here because they want closure. they deserve answers. mr. mayokas, will you turn around and offer them your condolences and apology?

>> dana: dramatic moment as homeland security secretary mayokas is forced to face the family of a grandmother and 7-year-old girl killed in a texas car crashed with an alleged human struggler. he turned to face the family expressed condolences but refusing to offer an apology for his failure to secure the border. very emotional day on the hill yesterday. welcome to a new hour on "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. a heated hearing as republicans hold secretary mayokas accountable for the historic crisis on the border calling his leadership an abject failure. this grieving family of that little girl and grandmother later meeting in private urging him to send thousands of troops to secure the border saying he needs to do that first before any attempt at immigration reform. >> dana: lawmakers calling out the secretary for being complicit in fentanyl deaths of 100,000 americans. these are some of their faces. >> bill: bill melugin has spent

a lot of time reporting on the front lines of the border crisis maybe more than anyone else. more in today's hearings and efforts to impeach mayokas and whether or not it will go anywhere. good morning. >> good morning. secretary mayokas got a full on bombardment of criticism from house republicans yesterday. that hearing as you saw extremely tense at times at gop lawmakers torched him for his handling of the border crisis including fentanyl trafficking. >> how long are you going to let this go on? >> congresswoman let me assure you we are not letting it go on. >> i reclaim my time. you are a liar. you are letting this go. the numbers prove it. you can't lie about the facts. you are killing americans with your policies. >> we could give you money to hire 1,000 new border agents. nobody wants to work for you. we're done, done, done with your lies to america. it's shameful what you brought

upon our country. >> under mayokas's leadership illegal crossings have reached all-time highs in back-to-back years with over 5 million total now. more than 1.3 million known gotaways have successfully snuck into the united states without capture. migrant deaths have set an all-time record with more than 1400 at the southern border since 2021. ice deportations are at an all-time low. fentanyl deaths have reached record highs. innocent americans are killed and injured, caught up in daily barrages of human smuggling pursuits and mayokas will not call the border a crisis. he insists the border is secure putting him at odds with his own u.s. border patrol chief. >> do you disagree with the head bort e border patrol agent when he said our border is not secured. you do disagree with your chief of border patrol. >> i respectfully do in that

regard. >> you are not delusional but dishonest with this congress repeatedly. >> your job is to secure borders, air, land and sea. and in my judgment, it is hard for me to say this, i've known you for quite some time, but you have failed in your job. and i think you know this. >> democrats, however, said republican criticism is uncalled for. >> mr. secretary republicans are criticizing you for not achieving something that no secretary has ever achieved. >> that's totally off the mark for what we are supposed to be doing on this committee. we were sent here not to have fun, not to eat popcorn, not to try to take somebody down. >> republican calls for mayokas's impeachment continue to grow but listen to this. a cabinet secretary hasn't been impeached in the united states since back in 1876.

we'll send it back to you. >> bill: nice to see you. b bill -- >> dana: the republicans find it infuriating that he has the exact same tone and answers no matter what the rkts are on the ground and unlikely he will be removed from his job. the republicans yes, mayokas is in charge of the homeland security department but the policy is set by the white house and it's joe biden. to me as you gear up for 2024 the only way you change this is if they can change something there. >> bill: "new york post" front cover. biden lied and there is a number of things on the inside about the border being open, shelter beds 130% capacity and new york's mayor, eric adams this week says the president has failed this city. that's from a democratic mayor in the biggest city in the country. >> dana: some of the things he wants to do to fix it are not exactly the same but he is not wrong there are significant

problems in new york city. >> bill: if he got rid of mayokas would the policies really change? >> dana: that's what i think. eye opening war game giving lawmakers a firsthand look at what could happen if china decides to invade taiwan taking the island by force. simulation at a d.c. think-tank allowed this emotion to choose from the range of inningss helping them understand the major consequences of various choices. admiral earlier this week giving them a preview of what to extent. >> war gaming is a learning objective. so when people talk about anyone who lost war gaming is not about that. it is about learning and understanding vulnerabilities, strengths and helps you go forward and figure out how to adjust and what you might need. >> dana: dusty johnson is a member of the house select committee on china examining threats to america. great to have you.

what was it like inside the room and what options give you hope or make you stay up at night? >> it was eye opening whether you were a democrat or republican in the room you realized that we have got to get our head on straight because there is a real -- a very real chance china will use aggression to try to unify taiwan and china. president xi has said that. when you go through the tabletop exercises it becomes very clear very quickly that if america just turns the other way or if we fail to prepare, things are going to get a lot less safe in this globe. we have some work to do. >> bill: one of the things you said is to properly deter china, you need allies. taiwan has very few allies around the world. you think about only 12 vatican city, be lease, these are the

provinces that recognize taiwan's ability to exist. beyond that they have us, basically. >> well, you are right. taiwan doesn't have that many countries who formally recognize them. listen, america is one of those countries that doesn't formally recognize taiwan but a lot of that is just a legal fiction that people say to whisper sweet nothings to china. reality is taiwan has lots of allies. countries like the united states of america that will do some important things to defend taiwan's right to exist. america does need to have allies. let's say we decide we want to deter china and we'll step forward with economic sanctions saying if you invade another country we'll drop the boom on you. those things don't work if america goes it alone. you need to have the g7 countries and other allies step

up. >> dana: did any involve american troops in the fight? >> absolutely. largely maybe an air force. we aren't talking about marines, boots on the ground there on taiwan holding the line against chinese soldiers. but if china decided they wanted to take taiwan tomorrow 95% of the world's chip manufacturing would be lost to america. that's not the kind of thing that we can allow to happen. so what do we need to do? we need to build production here in this country and need to build it with our allies, the chinese communist party are our adversaries and we should stop them from gaining any more coercive economic power over our country and others. but i think we need to be willing to use our air force and use our navy to try to keep bullies and thugs from seizing whatever they want. when the bullies win this globe gets a lot less safe for americans.

>> bill: a couple months ago the white house announced 100 to 200 u.s. service members will be deployed to taiwan. has that happened? if it has, why not send more? >> i don't know exactly how many of them are already there. i would tell you i think it's a good decision by the president. he and i disagree on a lot but having 100 to 200 dedicated trainers and american military experts on the ground is going to help taiwan to prepare. the united states is not going to do this alone. taiwan needs to take the lead role in making sure they are strong enough to deter aggression from the chinese communist party. i think it's the right move. as far as why not more, we don't want to put american men and women in the position of holding that island. taiwan has got to play the lead role in holding that island. america can help but it is not our job alone. >> bill: okay. >> dana: thank you for being here. great to have you here.

from the state of south dakota. >> bill: i thought the leader of taiwan's visit a week ago put a lot of stuff in motion. we'll watch it here. meanwhile pete buttigieg defending his budget at a house hearing on the hill today. likely take heat from republicans over leadership and handling of recent crisis involving planes, trains and a lot of things that move. we're watching it from the newsroom in new york city. >> second time around good morning to you for the transportation secretary on this topic where he has had to go before lawmakers and defend the white house budget. this time house side of the capitol did the same thing on the senate side last month. drop in live to the hearing room you see the opening statements are getting underway at 11 past the hour. 10:00 start time for this hearing for secretary buttigieg who could certainly be pressed today on some of these recent mi mishaps in the transportation

world. southwest had a ground stop and delays for thousands of passengers. that added to the list of high-profile headaches we've seen for airline travelers in recent months. other issues. the train derailment in east palestine is still being investigated. buttigieg told the senate his department needs more money to make, among other things, necessary improve meths in the infrastructure. it calls for more than $60 billion for the highway. almost 5 billion for the railroads. over the billion on the safety side of things. we'll monitor it throughout the day and once it gets going and back and forth starts there will be more as he faces lawmakers on capitol hill. >> bill: thank you, connell. see you on that. meanwhile we watched it 45 minutes ago. the first flight test of a fully integrated starship and super heavy rocket from star base in

texas. it had lift-off. that was the good part. and the workers on behalf of spacex in texas are going nuts. 2 1/2 minutes into the mission it exploded in midair and they'll take that knowledge they learned from this lift-off and try, try again. i would say according to tom jones, in a matter of months. it was cool to see. it has never been this big or this powerful before. so elon musk is heading that up and see how they do on try number two coming up. >> dana: i don't think that guy sleeps. new data shows a growing number of america's teens are exploiting drugs like adderall and warn some of the pills could be laced with fentanyl. how are kids getting their hands on such disastrous and dangerous medication? >> bill: desperate homeowners trying to kick out squatters. why the law is working against them as they get tangled up in red tape.

>> bill: 45 minutes we moved from watching history. elon musk has shot out a tweet con greats to spacex on the team and exciting starship launch. learning more. jonathan serry will tell us more. >> spacex is reviewing data from the explosive end of its test flight of the starship system, the most powerful rocket in world history. starship launched successfully from the texas coast and ascended for nearly four minutes. the spacecraft failed to separate from its main rocket booster. after a series of rolls in the sky the 394 foot long starship broke apart over the gulf of mexico. although the uncrewed starship

fell short of its ultimate goal of partially circling the world and crashing into the pacific ocean spacex says data from today's test flight will help engineers on the ground renew reliability and safety and safe enough to carry astronauts someday. the largest spacecraft ever starship will be capable of carrying up to 100 people or large amounts of cargo. both are crucial as america seeks to establish a permanent base on the moon and eventually send humans to mars and so the spacecraft that you saw launching here this morning, bill, is likely the prototype of what we'll see on these future crewed missions both to the moon and mars. >> bill: it was something to watch, jonathan. we'll keep our fingers crossed for launch number two. nice to see you. a new study by the journal of

the american medical association showing that one in four middle and high school kids are abusing prescriptions like adderall facing a national shortage pushing people to get it elryly which is the danger. what looks like medications bought online or shared among friends or family members can contain fentanyl or the substances that can result in overdoses. bridget brennan is the new york city special narcotics prosecutor and she knows it as well as anybody. what is your initial reaction to the news today? >> i think it is really important that you do what you are doing, inform people. there has been a bit of a shortage of adderall and people are taking to online sources, to their friends and people who might be selling on the street to get it. and that is -- could be a deadly mistake as you have described, these pills are manufactured, counterfeit pills. they might contain fentanyl. they might also contain

methamphetamine. so anything you don't get from a doctor or in a pharmacy could kill you. >> dana: right here adderall sold in mexican pharmacies contain meth. people think if i can't get adderall maybe ill -- i will try this because they're desperate for it? >> they fall into the category of stimulant, some form of methamphetamine. adderall is much milder. the dosages are controlled and doctors have prescribed it when you get it that way. methamphetamine can be manufactured any which way. by the cartels it is being pressed into pills. anything you buy on the street could contain anything. the effect of the stimulant is to make you feel more energetic. it can give you a bit of a

dopamine buzz and people are accustomed to a little bit of that if they are using adderall. >> bill: one in four student bodies across america were abusing medication typically prescribed to treat attention deficit disorder. if you say there is a shortage and this many people abuse it, they will look for a source to find it >> i looked at the study and it was quite alarming. the big problem they described is people sharing their drugs, their adderall with other people, selling it. people who weren't actually prescribed it being given it and using it. those people can turn to other sources and they could turn to social media thinking that another one of their friends is selling them something they can rely on because that's where they got it before. that source may be far distant from a young person from one of their friends. the ultimate source may be someone who is putting together

these pills or bought it from somebody. they have no idea what's in there. it is very, very dangerous. >> dana: you have been talking about tranq and i'm proud of fox news. we want to make sure people are info armed to make sure their children and loved ones no. tranq is included in fentanyl. 23% of fentanyl powder, 7% of fentanyl pills you find tranq and now found in 48 out of 50 states by the d.e.a. except south dakota or wyoming. how concerned are you about this? now it's everywhere. >> it is a big problem and one we're very, very focused on. i'm glad there was a emergency declaration pertaining to tranq. that will allow the government to actually track it better because it is an animal

tranquilizer. it wasn't tracked as other controlled substances are. this will be a big help to us. we find it mixed in with fentanyl and cocaine. and it is not responsive to narcan. that's the thing that your viewers should know. >> bill: that's important. >> it is very important to know that. it is important to know if you buy cocaine and you are aware there may be fentanyl and you arm yourself with narcan, great. but if it also has tranq in it, it won't help. you must be aware and call 911 right away if you feel someone has overdosed. >> bill: dana and i lived in the city for a number of years and we are seeing things in new york we've never seen before. hopefully we get it cleaned up. >> better days ahead. >> dana: because it spreads across the country. it is a warning sign. great to always have you. thank you. a new twist in republican efforts to question the manhattan prosecutor who initially handled president

>> bill: a new twist in a case related to donald trump. a federal appeals court granting a pause in the congressional subpoena for a former prosecutor's testimony. that prosecutor worked in the office of far left manhattan d.a. alvin bragg. gillian turner is watching the movements on this and see what may happen next. good morning. >> nobody can say, bill.

we can tell you manhattan district attorney alvin bragg is trying to stop mark pomerantz from testifying to the house judiciary committee about the charge against president trump. the court paused testimony that pomerantz was supposed to be giving right now until a three-judge panel can review bragg's latest filing. the house judiciary committee is accusing bragg of interfering with congressional oversight. one of their members told me yesterday they believe the subpoena is perfectly constitutional. take a listen. >> do you believe that it's a constitutional subpoena? let's start there. >> first of all he did use federal money to investigate president trump so you are now involve the federal government number one. number two, it is our job to keep the american people safe. so we as congressmen and women on the judiciary committee have a job to do to the american

people. >> pomerantz a prosecutor worked as part of bragg's team on the investigation to trump in aier after resigning in 2022 and wrote a book about his work. jordan subpoenaed pomerantz to testify about the district attorney's investigation. bragg is suing jordan and committee saying the subpoena is not constitutional. pomerantz himself agrees saying the committee is trying to interfere with the district attorney's offices ongoing work. assist mr. trump in his defense, probe my political views and harass me because i was the author of a book that mr. trump and some of his supporters did not like. we're here. the next move is jim jordan needing to file a response to this stay by tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.enter about 24 hours to go for him. >> bill: thank you. gillian turner in washington. nice to see you. >> dana: republicans turning their 2024 focus to west

virginia senator joe manchin as they work to regain the majority in the upper chamber. they are trying to tie manchin to president biden's spending sprees including the passage of an inflation reduction act. new ad reminding voters of the true cost. >> 100,000 west virginia jobs are in jeopardy. >> dana: he could face another challenge. west virginia's governor jim justice could enter the race as soon as next week. the president and ceo of one nation, steven law. listen to senator manchin questioned by fox business's grady trimble on this. watch. >> senator, can i ask you about the epa's ruling on electric vehicles? >> i think it's ridiculous that we are going to force the public and market to go in a direction that might not be ready to go to in the time they want to do it.

not only i'm having problems with how they try to liberalize how we do the e.v. credits. we should begin manufacturing back and making sure we are doing it in america. >> dana: he speaks in a reasonable tone but what did he think was going to happen when he signed on to help pass that bill? >> that's exactly right, dana. senator manchin does a great job of saying one thing in west virginia but different than he votes in d.c. this ad says it all. it is about joe manchin's key role in passing the so-called inflation reduction act that had nothing to do with inflation reduction. it was a gigantic climate change bill that was designed for liberals and by liberals. joe manchin was credited as the architect and even came up with the name of it. the one he was critical passing is a dagger to the coal economy.

>> dana: he has been very popular there for many years. republicans try to take this seat back. if you look at the 2020 presidential election results, trump won by 68%, almost 69% of the vote. yet again joe manchin had tough elections before. is this the cycle that's different for him? >> this is the issue that's different for him. he does a great job of persuading people that he has west virginia voters at heart and their economy at heart. but you can't explain this legislation that he was critical in passing that is really designed to take down the entire fossil fuel economy. studies show it puts 100,000 west virginia jobs on the chopping block. he can't walk away from it. it was a sell-out of his own state. >> dana: jim justice is the governor of west virginia. there has been heavy recruiting

to run for senate. if he does that do the republicans feel confident they can take back that seat? >> he certainly looks like he is moving in that direction. we don't know for certain. if he did he would be the heavy favorite. we did polling that showed him with a 10-point lead over joe manchin out of the starting block. an icon in his own right. tremendous personality that connects with the state and we think he would be a formidable opponent against joe manchin and could be his time is up. >> dana: would any republican be able to beat manchin next cycle? >> it remains to be seen. we did polling of other people in the race. most are far behind between 15 and 20 points behind joe manchin. governor justice is the only one now that would walk in as a favorite in the race. part goes to what you talked about earlier. joe manchin has a wonderful charm and able to sound reasonable but always votes the

party line. at this point he has crossed a bridge, making the inflation reduction act. >> dana: are you confident he will run for re-election? >> i'm not. i think he would view governor justice as a serious threat to him coming back to the senate. >> dana: would he try to run for governor again? >> he could do a number of different things. all sorts of theories out there. >> dana: i have a lot of theories and i love west virginia. thank you, steven law. set your dvrs and market calendar. fox news hosts the first republican debate for the presidential primary in milwaukee this august. >> bill: i give you points for trying, right? got to, right? two of hollywood's best friends might be closer than they realize today's hemmer celebrity news. woody harelson and matthew mcconaughey found out they might be related.

his dad knew his to detective co-star's mother. >> i've known her a long time. she goes i knew your father. the thing is we want to go and test but for him it's a much more big deal. he feels like he is losing a father. no, you're gaining a different father and a brother. >> bill: a lot of people taking a second look at an old photo that mcconaughey captured brothers from other mothers? >> dana: interesting. >> bill: one guy has hair and one guy doesn't. >> dana: that doesn't necessarily mean anything. last week woody harelson there was a woman moving apartments carrying stuff and he was walking by and he is like may i help you with that and helped them move the whole day and giving them advice to take better care of their plants. seems like a good guy. >> bill: he might know a thing or two about that.

its nature. the point i tried to make to the committee over and over again is world coal consumption, for example, continues to go up. we aren't using less coal but more. but somehow this administration is telling us that coal cannot come from places like wyoming or west virginia. my question is, if we need more coal especially to make wind and solar and evs, why can american coal jobs not be the producers and why can't we get the tax revenue and the jobs? no one on the committee had an answer for me. that type of centralized top down of refusing to have market signals economy communist. i'm sorry, no other way to call it. >> bill: where you are coming from when you talk with cracking down on green energy and the push for that in washington and around the world. play it. >> there are billionaires who fund green groups in this country that invest in foreign coal and they will tell you that

they will be damned if a man in west virginia works in a coal mine. a 9-year-old girl in china or other countries they have no problem with. >> bill: the point there you see hypocrisy in all of this policy. >> absolutely. we produce all of our fossil fuels in the cleanest, most humanitarian, the most environmentally conscious way possible. these are union jobs, good-paying jobs that sustain communities. we're foregoing them and forcing them to close. you see mines opening with slave labor, child labor, terrible environmental track records and somehow we call it green. somehow we call it progressive and saying we're doing our part to fight climate change. it is one gigantic lie. i think between this hearing, other hearings happening, the american people are sick and tired of the lies coming from government and trying to convince us that things are okay when things are not. >> bill: in mccarthy's plan to

-- in return for raising the debt ceiling, the republicans want to pull back on a lot of green energy policies now. you know what the comeback will be. here is one of them. she says speaker mccarthy commits slashing american manufacturing jobs. that's where the heat will come from. where is the compromise or is there one? >> 70% of these green technologies are manufactured in china with markets that they control 90 to 95%. rare earth, minerals, metals markets. all of these green subsidies and tax revenues and tax incentives are all benefiting communist china. frankly telling someone to buy a $60,000 electric vehicle here is a $7500 rebate. who is being subsidized? where is the equity in telling a rich person look, here is a green toy and we'll give you

$7500 off to buy it? it is not benefiting wage americans but communist china and rich, elite who have guilty conscience because of climate change and want to buy e.v. >> bill: she things permitting reform might be where you reach a compromise. see whether she is right in the end. you had strong words yesterday. thank you for coming on yesterday, daniel turner, thank you. >> dana: is he keeping her out of the loop? president biden rarely has lunch with vice president kamala harris according to his calendar. he had lunch with harris just twice last year. he promised after taking office to make his lunches with harris a weekly event. >> bill: who is buying? >> dana: maybe they have coffee in the hallway instead. no lunch. >> bill: he and obama had lunch once a week, i think. >> dana: bush and cheney had lunch. i think trump and pence had

lunch. you never take me to lunch. i think twice last year. harris and i are in the same boat. >> bill: what are you talking about? a texas cheer leader in a moment. car pooling home from practice. almost gets in the wrong car and she and her teammate are shot. how did that happen? what we know about the case and their conditions as of today. veteran homeowners, have you looked at the interest rates on your credit cards lately? get ready for a shock. the rate on credit cards is now over 22%.
