>> you have to watch the hatfields and mccoys special. >> these people are amazing. >> entertaining. what do you have coming up today seth >> do a radio for three hours and see you tonight at 8:00. stay within yourself. >> bill: good morning. biding his time no longer. the president is running for re-election at the age at 80. an uphill battle. hello and it will be a close election, i think we can say that right now. >> dana: the board will be working. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." i'm glad that the speculation of whether he will actually announce is over. now everybody can move on and -- >> bill: he said all along that he was leaning toward it and now

it's done. >> dana: a big tease for quite a while. president biden made the announcement in a video released early this morning and some of the slogans from his last campaign and attacked so-called maga republicans and implores voters to help him finish the job. >> president biden: when i ran for president four years ago i said we're in the battle for the soul of america. we still are. the question we're facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer. this is not a time to be complacent and why i'm running for re-election. around the country maga extremist are lining up to cut social security that you paid for your entire life while culting taxes for the wealthy. dictating what healthcare decisions women can make. banning books and telling people who they can love all while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote. this is our moment. >> bill: it's part of the 3:02 release today. the president going ahead with his campaign despite concerns

about his age and approval among democrats. republicans argue his record speaks for itself. rnc chairwoman said this. biden is so out of touch that after creating crisis after crisis, he thinks he deserves another four years. >> dana: karl rove and former obama-biden campaign manager jim mass in owe are here with reaction. peter doocy is live in delaware. >> this announcement video doesn't contain anything new. it doesn't talk about president biden's record throughout his first term so far. instead they are trying to put the attention on republicans. >> president biden: maga extremists are lining up to take on the bedrock freedoms. cutting social security that you paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the wealthy. dictating what healthcare decisions women can make and banning books and telling people who they can love while making

it more difficult for you to be able to vote. >> the campaign manager is the granddaughter of the activist ce ce cesar cheva scrags. and they are taking incoming from the left. nina turner has already tweeted the dnc refusing to hold a single primary debate is undemocratic and robs the voters of choice. no one who feels confident in their record or ideas would hesitate to stand on them. dnc should hold debates. this is supposed to be a democratic process and that was president biden's point exactly four years ago today. >> if you are the best choice for the democrats in 2020 why didn't president obama endorse you? >> i asked president obama not to endorse and he doesn't want

-- we should -- whoever wins the nomination should win it on their own merits. >> the theme of his 2019 video was problems biden had with trump's behavior. even though he doesn't name drop this time the sentiment is the same. >> president biden: i know we're good and decent people. i know we're still a country that believes in honesty and respect and treating each other with dignity. a nation where we give hate no safe harbor. everyone is equal and everyone given a share shot to succeed in this country. let's finish this job. >> president biden will drop by a union meeting and a dinner with the south korean president. no word yet on when his first campaign rally will be. >> dana: if there will be one. >> bill: there is a ton to analyze and who better than karl rove and jim massina.

i'll carl with karl and defer to you. over eight different polls taken in 2022 and so far in 2023 among democrats, only 38% want president biden to be their nominee. 57% prefer someone else. so karl, how do you launch based on those numbers? >> well first of all i think this was done for a strange reason which was people are getting nervous so why not respond to that by putting out a video. that's an odd way. this is not a big campaign rally followed by going on the campaign trail. this is a video. god knows how many outtakes and redos they had to do in order to put it together. it's done at an odd time. this week we talk about the debt ceiling. a big vote in congress on that. the news of this is going to fade away. and it was a message aimed at

the base. we have to worry about abortion and voting rights was the theme. no mention of inflation, no discussion of the world, no mention of the border. instead we had tired old attacks. republicans want to cut social security and raise tax cuts. this is a gamble and a bet that the befuddled frailty of joe biden will be able to overcome the rage-filled grievance of donald trump because the republicans will nominate trump. maybe that's a good bet. i'm not certain it is on several levels. >> bill: how do you see it, jim? >> i love the video in the freedom context. i've been screaming at the democrats to do it for a while in the case of choice and other issues. i love the fact they are going straight at freedom which is usually a republican advantage. i think that this was about announcing to start raising money. this race will cost $2 1/2 billion and a couple billion for

the republicans. they had to start the process. they don't want to do campaign rallies right now. just have him focus on his day job and do that while they start putting together the levers of what will be the most expensive political campaign in american history. >> dana: can i ask you something that came up in 2019, will president obama endorse biden's run even though there are two other democrats who have declared, and will he be active on the campaign trail this time for president biden? >> yes to both, dana. this is a different situation. you have an incumbent president. two democrats you mentioned aren't credible or real. there won't be a major democratic primary and there shouldn't be. in my lifetime the two incumbents who got major primary challenges jimmy carter and george w. bush in 2002. he will pull the party together

and face donald trump. >> dana: can i ask you about age? back in the campaign -- the democratic primary campaign castro brought up in a debate president biden's cognitive abilities and vastly ridiculed and nearly run out of town. he dropped out of the race a couple days later. now you have "the new york times" editorial page this is an issue biden needs to speak to it clearly and take some questions from the press. do you see that happening? >> well, he is going to have to. he must at some point. this is a real issue. it is not just castro raising it in 2015 during the primaries -- 2019 during the primaries. it is a question that gets raised every time we see him. the visit to ireland, for example, the footage of him visiting with the embassy families at the fire station is painful to watch. he has his son at his elbow to say dad it's time to work the rope line and repeat the

question the president can't figure out. it is a real issue. when you are the democrat incumbent president and lost "the new york times" which thor liesed this weekend he was too old for this job, you have problems. that problem is not going to go away. anybody who thinks joe biden will get better on his feet and look younger and more focused and disciplined between now and november is kidding themselves. >> bill: on that point, jim. what does the campaign look like? 80 today, 82 in two years. during the covid years you could have cars show up at a drive-in theater and honk their horns with approval. those days are behind us. what does this campaign look like? >> in part it matters who the opponentent is. if it's donald trump they're similar in age. a bunch of groups recently about this. it is not an issue. voters think they're both old. karl is right. the white house has to address it straight on and he will take

questions and go out there. there will be three presidential debates. they will have at it in front of the national world and he will have to deal with it. an issue that's less if it's donald trump. >> dana: vice president harris featured prominently. the subject of ridicule. her appearances haven't been stellar. within the white house it appears that this is all steam ahead with kamala harris. she featured prominently in the announcement. >> absolutely. you know, her numbers are worse than the president's. if you've got 25 or 27% of democrats they prefer he run again. that number is probably worse for her. her numbers are worse than his. this is a gamble. to try and make this election about abortion and voting rights as opposed to inflation, state of the world, the crime, border,

that's a big gamble. on both sides of those each party has strengths and weaknesses but on that kind of an agenda the democrats don't have much going for them with this team of biden and harris. >> she will be on the ticket. she is incredibly important to turn out his base, african-american women, minorities and young people. that's her strong suit. so of course they will feature her. i thought they did it appropriately. >> dana: great having you both. historical day as the president announced his re-election campaign. >> bill: they make a good pair. thank you karl and jim. talk down the road. he talks about african-american women. it will be important. some of the polls lately show biden is underwater with hispanic voters. you wonder whether or not that can turn around or not. i thought the most telling thing the glaring omission about the video was the lack of bragging about his accomplishments over

the past few years in the white house. it is true he was putting the focus on republicans. but if you don't have much to brag about, how do you sell yourself over a national campaign? something to watch and see how they turn that. >> dana: i think they have accomplished allot and you will hear a lot more about that. the other ones are the youth vote. polls recently show youth enthusiasm for biden is way down. however they're an energized group of people and have seen it in off-year elections, strourt in the state of wisconsin. they are energized. depends who the republicans put forward. the battle is joined and we'll be here to take you through it. >> bill: we talked about this yesterday. if you are not jacked up for biden and you are not jacked up for trump, if those are the two men, the turnout could be low, right? it was 81 million for biden, 74 million for trump. if it is a low turnout what

pollsters will tell you, it doesn't help the incumbent whether it plays out we'll see. you and i are going to talk about this for a year and a half, okay? >> dana: better come ready. >> bill: you got it. here we go. now this. >> we're taking our eye off the ball. it is open season on americans under the biden administration, leaving behind americans and allies in afghanistan. and in sudan. >> dana: biden administration accused of dropping the ball getting citizens out of sue dan. we'll ask mike pompeo. >> bill: new developments on the shocking murder of bob lee. the man accused of leaving him for dead on the streets of san francisco is before a judge this morning. >> dana: the deal is reportedly done after 18 seasons with the packers, aaron rodgers is coming to the new york jets. how the city is reacting this morning. ♪

>> bill: now we find empty robot cars filling the streets of san francisco. some people said to be confused and annoyed by all the cars being tested. they never exceed the speed limit. come to a full stop at stop signs and hit the brakes the slightest hint of a problem but also get confused, freeze and crash when they encounter a scenario not pre-programmed. all part of the learning process, i would imagine. >> dana: it is annoying. a weird thing to have this be happening while other people are out and about. >> bill: had some friends in phoenix. they called an uber and a way mo showed up. what is this? they got in and it was driverless and they had a woman at some sort of central command speak to them in the car to let them know everything is cool. do you need anything, is everything in order? it was at night. they were driving a big street and out of nowhere the car stops.

what's going on? it doesn't work. there is a man crossing the street not at the crosswalk, but -- the car was that good to see that person in the middle of the night is the point. >> dana: we'll see how it goes. in idaho remember the story. 1 of 2 house mates who survived the deadly attack on four idaho college students last fall is fighting a subpoena to testify in court. she lived in the basement of the home where her roommates were stabbed and killed. defense attorneys said she could help clear the murder suspect. dan springer live in seattle. this case is six weeks away from its official -- the next step. this coming to a woman who doesn't want to testify, dan. >> exactly. that preliminary hearing coming up in a couple of months. we don't have any information or confirmation on what that surviving roommate might say that could help the defense.

lawyers aren't talking because of the gag order. there is nothing in court filings to give us any clue. this is what the defense investigator wrote in his affidavit seeking a court order forcing bethany funk to testify at kohberger's preliminary hearing in june. during the course of my investigation it became known that funk has information material to the charges against mr. kohberger. portions of information she has is exculpatory to the defendant. her information is unique to her experiences and cannot be provided by another witness. pretty vague. what we know about bethany funk is her room was in the basement and told police she never left her first floor room that night or even the next morning when the horrific murders were discovered. it was the surviving roommate on the second floor who got a look at the suspect before he left the house. after murdering four people with a knife. it is possible that bethany funk's role for the defense

might be to somehow hurt the credibility of the roommate who saw the suspect. the defense team got a judge to order funk to show up in the preliminary hearing. she lives in reno, nevada and hired a lawyer fighting the subpoena. she filed a motion to quash it on the grounds there is nothing to support the argument that funk brings anything important to the hearing. they are now seeking a hearing on that matter. kohberger faces four counts of first degree murder and if convicted could face the death penalty. >> dana: dan springer, thank you for the update. >> bill: here in new york the governor hochul considering a statewide ban on tobacco products. her administration continues to promote legal marijuana at the same time and critics say they're stirring the pot. madison from fox business is live in brooklyn. what's up? good morning. >> good morning.

we're inside a convenience station gas right here. hard to imagine a shop like this one not having cigarettes sold behind the counter. that could soon be the reality here in new york. the news coming from a new york department of health survey that asks government officials if they would support a policy that would end the sale of all tobacco products in new york. we spoke to some customers here to get their reaction. >> i think tobacco together would be in consider ate for people who use it for stress. >> i would go to new jersey. >> i support this ban. no kid should have any type of contact with any type of cigarettes. >> the challenge for retailers in new york would be that tobacco would be legal everywhere else or people would just result in buying illegal tobacco products. already an issue in new york city. it is estimated between 50 to 70% of the cigarettes purchased

in new york city are not legal. they aren't taxed here in new york. that would further drive up that market. talking to retailers like the one here it is not just about the loss of tobacco sales. take a listen. >> that cigarette customer is not a cigarette customer. they buy everything else in our store. to lose 25% of that and all a ancillary sales that go along with the tobacco sales would be a significant impact on our business and every other convenience store retailer in the state of new york. >> the new york department of health told us that the survey does not indicate whether or not they support the policies goals and the survey serves as a tool for public health policy. this survey is open to those government officials. it doesn't wrap up until june at which case there might be decisions made. for now, tobacco is still legal but obviously this would be a huge move. it would be the first state to

outright ban tobacco in the united states. >> bill: we'll watch it. madison, an interesting story out of brooklyn. thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: get this from the green bay packers to gang green. aaron rodgers joining the new york jets in a blockbuster trade that took months to finalize. the pack gets a bunch of picks. jets fans are beside themselves. >> aaron rodgers to the new york jets, welcome, aaron rodgers. glad to have you, buddy. we've been waiting for you, aaron. welcome to the green and white. >> dana: all right. that was a pump-up talk in the morning. the "new york post" says jolly rodgers.

a second term. what we have here is support for the renomination, all right from within your own party. going back to bill clinton 1996 among democrats at 50% for renomination. barack obama 2012, 75. donald trump two years ago was 73%. where is joe biden today? among democrats 38%. so you look at the states that really matter. these were the three states that really mattered. pennsylvania, but three states between wisconsin and georgia and arizona. collectively you had a difference of 42,000 votes that decided the outcome across three different states. today joe biden at 41% in wisconsin, 42% in georgia, 38% in the state of arizona. how does this factor in? we'll bring in someone who was in the battle. she is with us now. kayleigh mcenany joins our conversation to try to talk about this.

welcome to the show. >> dana: what did you think of the announcement when bill lays out the numbers like that, 38% seems so stark. >> it is very stark. when you watched this announcement you look at a president trying to shore up his left wing base. no mention of ukraine. that's the cornerstone of his foreign policy trying to shore up the far left which has been happy with some of his actions there but running a bet his opponent will be president trump and counting on his opponent bringing back independents and far left. if he can't energize the base he is making a calculation that former president donald trump can. >> bill: here is jen that reflects on the numbers we showed on the board when she talks about it. i think she points out the obvious. call for four. >> you know, the polls are not what you want to go with in normal times. these are not normal times, right? the electorate is uncertain. if there was a democrat out

there who thought they could beat joe biden in a primary and thought they could do better than joe biden in the general election they would be running and they aren't. >> you have two, marian williamson and rfk junior. there will be no primary debate as of today. they'll blow by it. >> they'll blow right by it. the advantage he has there is where you have to have desantis and trump playing to the far right of the party. he can pretty much ignore that. he has to shore up the base and counting on donald trump to do that. look forward to bringing back and reviving his numbers among the broader public. 39%. he is underwater with women, suburban and rural voters and even democrats. he can look forward to a general election where republicans will have to be admired to appealing to the right side of the party. >> dana: everybody will be looking at the republican primary. desantis is getting irritated.

he gets asked when he will announce. not yet. let's listen here. >> i have said from the election of 2022 and people started asking me, we have a legislative session we're working on. we have a few more weeks to go with that and putting up a lot of wins on the board so i won't be making any announcement before that is concluded. >> are you leaning one way or another? >> stay tuned. [laughter] >> dana: you rarely get a laugh and smile. he is a serious guy and a lot to do. what do you make of his dance and when do you think if he does indeed announce when? >> i think he will announce by june. i've talked to people, senior people in the governor's orbit and i think the appeal they are going to make is we need a fighter but a fighter who can win. they point to the "wall street journal" poll which shows him prevailing over biden by three. former president trump losing. i also talked to g.o.p.

operatives familiar with the state of florida thinking. if you look at swing state polls, nevada, wisconsin, nerve pennsylvania, you see someone prevailing over biden that trump is not. i don't know how far it will go in a gop primary. the subsidiary argument that needs to be made is i will cleave to the right of president trump on abortion. he won't support federal ledge is trigs on disney. he can cleave to the right on -- >> dana: president trump went after the state of florida yesterday saying it with as a terrible place. >> right. as a life long resident of florida we think it's a good place. >> republican senator from montana runs the republican electoral committee endorsed donald trump last night. republicans in the senate put out a video two hours ago.

ear for migrants coming to the u.s. they use a raft. mentioned an air mattress. they use a rope to guide themselves across the rio grande. the middle of the river is too deep to walk across. look at where they are coming from. fox news was in mexico yesterday at a migrant camp there. a couple thousand migrants right now are waiting for the end of title 42. they don't have running water and living in tents and under cardboard. no work. it is because of conditions like these why some migrants are crossing now before title 42 ends. the city of el paso is expected to issue a state of emergency so that they can assist the local ngos in caring for the migrant surge that is expected when title 42 ends. >> bill: we'll watch it. as the beat goes on on the border. thank you for that. >> dana: overseas the u.s. and saudi arabia brokering a cease-fire in sudan. 72 hours to get thousands of our citizens out of the war torn

important matters. know that what plays into the hands of the chinese communist party is $31 trillion in debt and counting and the effort to constrain that spending to get america's gdp to debt ratio back if line to grow our economy and have lower taxes and limited government are the things that xi fears. democrats are the things that xi is counting on to lead to ultimate challenges in the united states. they want us weaker. more spending makes us so. >> dana: point and counter point. secretary pompeo. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. have a great day. >> bill: is oval office rolling out the welcome matt for the tennessee three. victims families of the nashville mass shooting weren't there nor were the officers who saved the day at the school in nashville. where was their invite? every month? car loans can be expensive and the payments high. consolidate that car

>> president biden: democratic values. that's what it's all about. what the republican legislature did was shocking and undemocratic and it was without any precedent. you turned it around very quickly. >> bill: so that was in the oval office yesterday praising the so-called tennessee three. two of those democratic lawmakers were briefly expelled after this routine on the floor of the house chamber with bull horns. this was a protest in the state house after the deadly mass shooting at the covenant school in nashville down the street. will cain, "fox & friends" weekend co-host with me now. nice to see you. good morning to you. for biden, this works well for him. the families of the victims did not get the invite. neither did the cops who ran in there and put their own lives on the line. what do you make of the photo op in the oval office? >> that's the perfect way to

describe it. all the world is a stage and everyone is a player. i think your estimation it plays well for biden at least what he believes. it is shocking just as an aside that he says it is an affront to democracy. if an elected group of people others have broken decorum and shouting oversomeone at a college or have a bull horn is not democracy. that played for biden. i talked about this last night filling in for jess watters that what he sees, what the democrats seem to see is everything in the world is a race play. all black and white. not sure how this turned into it. he said the heroes in my play are the tennessee three, not the parents of the kids who were killed in that school. not the teachers, not the officers as you point out. why? they don't satisfy the characters. the necessary characters for his race play and he shows this over

and over again inviting ralph yarl's family. it's tragic but not inviting any of the other victims just last week who in some cases died in very similar circumstances because they don't fit the characters of his race play. >> bill: let me play this. both these guys are 27, 28 years old. might have a bright political future ahead of them. this is what he said outside the west wing. >> not left or right. we talked to the president how it is an issue of conscience in the south where we're trying to build multi-racial -- they assaulted our democracy when we saw as we were expelled. we have to organize this as a movement. our selma moment. >> rules are rules. go ahead last thought there. >> i just think he told us there bill. our selma moment. everyone is attempting to relive the 1960s civil rights era

because they see it as the biggest morality play in american history. they have recast themselves, regardless of the issue, into that play in 2023. it is a modern day selma moment. what he says is gun control, multi-racial democracy. he fits all the narratives into one answer. none of it holds any meaning other than i'm hero, they are bad guys. that's the depth of this play so they can relive the 1960s. >> bill: still waiting on the manifesto in the meantime. nice to see you. thanks for coming on. will cain, thank you. >> glad to be here. >> dana: fox news alert. it is official. president biden will seek re-election in 2024. will another biden have an even bigger impact on the campaign? that's what they call a tease. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: still learning. i'm bill hemmer. he is 80 years old. commander-in-chief announcing his candidacy in a three minute
