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 video released at 6:00 a.m. east

coast time. he what has to overcome low approval ratings and looking into his son. his republican critics have taken notice already. >> the president really focused on the past more and some of the divisions. i would hope and would think he would be talking about the economy, talking about america's position in the world, and strength. so i was a little disappointed in that. it shows the contrast. >> it sounds like he is heading forward now on, you know, dividing our country in a way that i think will have a lasting impact that will be very negative. >> dana: will voters give biden four more years to finish the job? reaction. first david spunt live at the justice department for the latest on the hunter biden probe. what's going on there, david? >> federal prosecutors continue

to weigh potential misdemeanor and felony charges against hunter biden. no decisions have been made that we know of yet. this is an investigation going on for almost half a decade over a variety issues including his overseas business dealings, his tax affairs, also lying on a federal form to purchase a gun. we reported his attorneys will mete with the attorney running the investigation. it began in 2018. this is a status update requested by hunter's attorneys. the president's son is by no means flying under the radar as a potential indictment looms. i use the word potential. no certainty he will face charges. he has been going with his dad, the commander-in-chief. he was in ireland shaking hands with throngs of excited people a few weeks ago. excited on the streets of ireland. before that he was strolling

along the south lawn of the white house for the annual easter egg roll. he has no problem appearing in public. his dad running for a second term wants his son out in the public. hunter may soon head to an arkansas courtroom. the "arkansas democrat gazette" reports a judge in the state yesterday ruled biden must appear in person for a paternity case involving a 4-year-old child. the fight is over child support payments. the hearing is next monday. i reached out to hunter biden's attorney in this specific paternity case but have yet to hear back. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: president biden expected to make remarks later today on the economy, economic agenda despite inflation soaring since he took office. edward lawrence on the north lawn with a report card on the economic status for this administration. nice to see you. good morning. >> good to see you. the president likes to talk about manufacturing and he will

do that in about 90 minutes when he is talking to a union in washington, d.c. the fact is over the past two months or two job reports manufacturing lost jobs each of those months. in the re-election announcement he is making an early part of the campaign about saving democracy. >> president biden: when i ran four years ago we were 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. i know what i want the answer to be. i think you do, too. this is not a time to be complacent. >> he will have some trouble running on his economic accomplishments. americans have seen under president biden inflation peaked at 50 year record highs. you see the chart with inflation stickier than first thought. with the forced transition by this president the cost of energy is up 24% since president biden took office. the cost of food up 18% since

the last election and president biden depleted the strategic petroleum reserve by more than 40% in two years. corey mills says with all the issues foreign and domestic this is a time for someone to come forward and save america. >> i don't see where joe biden thinks he is in any way helping to improve the lives of americans. let's go back to the ronald reagan question. are you better now than you were two years ago? the answer is no. >> this president has not taken many questions over the past two years, not as many as some presidents in recent memory. it might be difficult now to get questions at candidate joe biden. >> bill: thank you from the white house. >> dana: bring in the panel. jessica tarlov and rich lowry. the headline here. "the new york times." how democrats learn to cast aside reservations and embrace biden 2024. and then the "washington post"

democrats reluctant about biden 2024 but see no other choice. is that the consensus, jessica? >> it is certainly the consensus at these papers and a lot of democrats in the media. i'm not sure the average democrat at home is really paying much attention to this. we know joe biden is running for re-election. the video is out and we'll start hearing about it more and the agenda. this was a beltway reaction than the people who need to get up and go to work. >> bill: mr. beltway, okay. nbc news polls. >> 70% of people don't want joe biden to run again. he was supposed to be the bridge. he looked across the bridge, saw kamala standing there saying maybe not. he is at 41, 42% approval. he couldn't ask the question mentioned earlier, are you better off than four years ago? just on inflation alone and how it eroded wages the answer is no.

he is a default choice, it worked for him before. >> dana: call for number two. on december 11, 2019, in "politico" piece that says according to four people who talk to biden, it is virtually inconceivable he will run for re-election in 2024. he himself, jessica, said he would be a transitional figure and the bridge to get people -- >> dana: he was the guy to beat trump. >> dana: they think they've been super successful and wants to finish the job. if you look at some other numbers, call for number four here. people are in a dismal mood. not broken down in republican or democrat. just all people polled here in pew research. the u.s. economy will be weaker by -- the u.s. will be more politically divided and poor and

rich gap will grow by 2050. this is people's mindset. going into a re-election campaign is this where you want to be? >> ideally no, you would hope everyone had amazing numbers and spring is in bloom and we'll get going. the reality is the american public feels this way now but it doesn't mean that they think joe biden is personally responsible. the inflation numbers and it is a global problem. i understand the president a few times said all these countries are so much worse than we are. we do know we're in a global catastrophic inflation problem. same with the energy crisis. i think people are looking at what joe biden has accomplished and i know he didn't narrate as much of it in the video as he could have. he has them signing bill. he has bipartisan gun reform, infrastructure. new supreme court justice up there. rallying for civil rights and leads with january 6th which is a clear shot at donald trump.

if you be the guy on the other side of this i'll be the guy fighting for democracy and abortion. abortion will be the crux of this like it was in the mid-terms. >> accomplishments will be third and fourth down the list of the message if he draws donald trump as his opponent. we saw it in the video. didn't mention by name but all about pushing back against trump. it will be trump, trump, abortion, democracy and i got some things done. he figures making it about the other side is working for him. >> aren't those things important. if trump is the candidate, it looks like he will be. we saw desantis dodge a bit in japan and on last night being coy about it. he is losing by double digits in every poll to donald trump. we know how the republican base feels about him. why shouldn't joe biden run this campaign? >> he will. it worked for him in 2020 and 2022 and thinks it can work for him in 2024 and not a crazy bet. >> bill: april 24th is today.

-- no, yesterday. biden's genius is his hiding. it could get him another four years. >> yeah. >> bill: so we had jim and karl on last hour and toward the end of that campaign in 2020, joe biden was going out places like north carolina, i do believe. drive in movie theaters during covid and had all the cars sitting five feet away from each other. nobody got out of their cars. they honked their horn with approval. those days are over. it is gone. now you will be 82 when you are running this campaign. what does it look like? >> he showed in 20 and 2022 people don't need to be excited about him or need to think he is doing a good job. people who somewhat disapprove of joe biden in 2022 voted for democrats in many cases if the alternative was made unacceptable. that's what he will try to do again. he is the least personally forceful and interesting president maybe since the 19th

century since the advent of the t.v. age but it worked for him so far. >> dana: in that video that biden did this morning they're targeting trump. but you can imagine in the media showing this, if it were to be desantis, that is just interchangeable for democrats saying he has been the worse. >> if someone else beats trump it will be hard to tar them with trump and you get desantis this huge generational contrast that isn't playing now which would be a huge problem for biden. >> dana: i would agree. i would just add desantis or whoever it is if it isn't trump needs to talk about their accomplishments and record. if you go to michigan and talking about wokeness or crt or getting disney, i will build a prison next to it. it won't resonate with everyday voters. >> bill: florida is one of the best governed states in the country, though. >> bill: we could go 30 minutes. >> we'll stay. >> dana: i would like to but

we'll make some commercial time. >> bill: thank you. the man accused of murdering bob lee due before a judge today. is the suspect's married sister somehow connected to lee's stabbing death? >> dana: europe's champagne police tracking down on miller high lite taking their slogan the champagne of beers seriously. tom shillue on that next. oh booking.com, ♪ i'm going to somewhere, anywhere. ♪ ♪ a beach house, a treehouse, ♪ ♪ honestly i don't care ♪ find the perfect vacation rental for you booking.com, booking. yeah.

>> bill: we got some video for you. a french skier's fall into an ice chute caught on his gopro camera. he stumbled to a circle of snow that caved in and went into a massive crevice.

watch the video. >> dana: no thank you. no thank you. wow. >> bill: wow is right. he wedged his skis against the wall, dana. to slow his fall. eventually made it out with ice cleats and a rope friends threw down. you are down there and nowhere to go. you are looking up. can't get out of here. i don't know about you, but claustrophobia sets in in a couple of seconds for me. >> dana: is it crevice or crevice? i'll see what i can do in the next segment. the man accused of killing bob lee due in court today arraigned on murder charges. police say on the night of april 14th -- 4th, he and lee

had an argument and it may have been over lee's relationship with the suspect's married sister. jonathan hunt live in los angeles with more. hi, jonathan. >> good morning, as we await the court hearing in a couple of hours we are learning more about both the victim, bob lee, and the accused killer. to lead first the tech executive stabbed to death, the san francisco standard is reporting that lee visited a suspected drug dealer's apartment just hours before his death and prosecutors believe that may be connected to the murder. they are investigating the theory that the man accused of killing lee was upset about lee's relationship with his married sister. and believed lee may have been using drugs with his sister in the hours before the killing.

the woman that's seen with her husband with a court appearance for her brother. he was stabbed april 4th and seen in this viindividual stumbling and falling on the sidewalk as he bled to death. an apartment who shared an apartment with the defendant has told police he was violent towards her and prone to sudden mood swings. she called police last august, the defendant was cited then and released on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. the next court hearing in the murder case. it seems unlikely we'll learn a lot more at what is expected to be a very brief appearance in this case in which officials have repeatedly said there is much more than meets the eye. at some point they will tell us really what they are talking about. >> dana: maybe today is the day. jonathan hunt, thank you. >> bill: so miller beer, miller

high lite beer calls itself the champagne of beer. europe champagne regulators had enough. they destroyed more than 2,000 cans of miller claiming it violates strict e.u. rules that protect the wine known as champagne. comedian tom shillue is laughing about it earlier. the quote from the guy who runs the committee. this destruction is the result of a successful collaboration between belgian customs authorities and committee champagne. >> they have to protect their name. that's what these people do. they live and breathe champagne and i even correct people sometimes when they say would you like champagne? you can't call it champagne unless it is champagne. >> dana: it is one of the reasons that led to brexit.

the e.u. was -- the u.k. was frustrated because the e.u. was saying you couldn't call things what you would normally call them and it became too much with regulation. >> i'm into barber shop quartet is what i sing. people say i used to sing that in college. that's duop. it's not the same thing. >> bill: the gal to use champagne in their name. >> the champagne of beers. it probably doesn't translate to french. >> dana: beer hasn't had this much publicity in a long time. i don't know, you can imagine coors is sitting what do we have to do to get attention around here? i wouldn't advise it. environment lifts are pushing a no mow. not mow your lawn for the entire

month of may to help the bees. >> i like it. i look for an excuse to stop mowing the lawn. when i read the story it is about the chemicals mostly. these are environmentalists. as long as they don't force these things on us it is a good idea. everybody wants to save bees. mow the lawn less and don't use all the chemicals. i like the idea of going organic. >> bill: no round-up? >> i'm sure it's not good. i've been looking at rfk junior and he is against all this stuff. >> dana: i think the bee thing is very interesting. i read a few books recently that incorporate the whole bee scenario and worries about the bees. i can see this but i also if you don't mow what if there are snakes in the grass? >> also ticks and my dog, martha, digs a lot and creates a lot of crevices on my lawn.

it can be dangerous. >> bill: what about the neighbor when you aren't cutting your grass and late june and your grass is 2 1/2 feet high. >> i will keep it looking nice. it doesn't look like a golf course. i don't need the su super manicured. your home, dana, is very tidy. >> we don't have it anymore. >> almost to the point of what is she hiding? [laughter] >> it looks nice. i bet your lawn looks nice as well. >> dana: you would be surprised now if you saw it. no mow may. >> bill: good to have you in. >> dana: it's official. president biden announcing he is running for re-election in 2024. do voters want a second term? why he is facing an uphill climb. china setting up shop in the heartland. protesters in michigan are pushing a back against an

>> bill: west virginia democratic senator joe manchin calling out his party leadership saying they backed out of a key part of the inflation reduction act. go figure, that he helped put over the finish line last year. manchin chairs the senate energy and natural resources committee saying majority leader chuck schumer and president biden broke the promise to further energy projects and incentives affecting his state of west virginia. >> let me make it very clear. if this administration does not honor what it said it would do and basically continue to liberalize that where $384 billion is what we are supposed to invest over ten years and they blow that out of the water and it's 6 or 7 or 800 i will do

everything i can in my power to prevent that from happening. if they don't change, i would vote to repeal my own bill. >> bill: we'll see whether that happens. in the bill it was -- they said they would talk about it at a later date in the fall, remember, about the permitting deal? >> dana: it seems like a naive position to have believed that this wasn't going to be the end result. he has been in washington a long time. >> bill: at every level in life when it is not in writing don't believe it. >> dana: this is really good advice. thank you so much. still learning. as president biden pushes his green energy agenda michigan committee gave a chinese battery plant in the state. alexis mcadams is live in the newsroom. look forward to hearing more about this all morning. >> a big story in michigan talking about two massive project backed with companies with ties to china that want to

open shop in michigan. hundreds of people who live there are fighting back. this is where the plan plans to break down in west central michigan. u.s. owned subsidiary of a chinese battery company and make parts for electric vehicle batteries. the michigan senate committee just barely approved the $175 million if state funds for this project just the other day. some local officials tell me it will bring in big money and jobs for the community. >> it has made enemies out of neighbors. if we're not progressive in 20 years this town won't look like this and there will be less and less and less businesses here. >> other local lawmakers are worried about national security risks. residents protesting that plan. >> we have no idea what they are actually making. we don't know the chemicals. no environmental tests.

this stuff all needs the happen so we understand what is really coming to this community. >> questions are also swirling about a ford plant in marshall, michigan 200 miles away. the ford motor company teaming up with a chinese tech company planning to spend more than $3 billion to build an ev battery plant there. ford says some of the parts and workers will come from china this plant will be run by ford. more than a dozen states have laws on the books that prevent investors with ties to foreign adversaries from buying u.s. farmland. many others could soon be added, including michigan. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: the waiting game is over. president biden announced his re-election at the age of 80. approval at 41%. mark penn, a former clinton advisor and pollster. we've been bringing in all the big brains to give us the

lowdown on this. why don't you headline your reaction on the re-election. >> well, it's a remarkable day. i think joe biden is the democratic nominee. announcing early and freezing out the field. he has the backing of the left and the entire party. so i think the party is all in on a joe biden re-election. i thought he would maybe wait until july, give -- see how things in the country played out. try to get his job approval up. be less political as a candidate. all the polls show 70%, got him in the race to freeze the field and unify the party. >> dana: it is interesting. if democrats are all in you have the nbc poll that said a vast majority of democrats didn't want him to run again. now that he has announced they'll say this is the guy we have and he might not be our first choice or the best one but we have to go to war with him?

>> exactly. in my own poll only 37% of democrats picked him to be the democratic nominee. but there is no candidate who can run against him. no one in even single digits against him. there is no field. there is no opportunity. there will be no debates. and so he is effectively frozen the field. he runs the party machinery. and as i said since the left seems to be all in, the possibility of a challenge from the left, which is where these challenges typically come from, is remote. so i think he is it. i think it was shrewd politically to decide to get out there. it's unexpected in my view. i thought he would see how he is doing and his job rating in the low 40s. no one has ever gotten reelected with that job rating. you try to be as non-political.

he wanted to secure the election. >> bill: what you describe and what dana points out is what happened in 2020. once he has 49% of the primary vote in south carolina he was sailing and beat bernie sanders in michigan and the game was pretty much over. i look at the nbc poll and what they write. substantial majorities of americans don't want trump or president joe biden to run for president in 2024. what happens, mark, in american politics when you hold an election that no one wants? >> well, you get some very unhappy voters. that's why the action now moves to the republican primary. can donald trump be beaten by ron desantis or tim scott? i think that's the only real capability now to avoid the nation from having a rematch that most voters don't want that could never bring the country together, that would leave the

country visibly divided for another four years rather than having new, fresh candidate that could bring the country together. it is going to be a brutal political season out there. >> dana: you mentioned before -- we've talked about the first two years of the biden presidency was very progressive. he ran saying he would be a moderate, a bridge and he has accomplished some things very far to the left. now he will go into a re-election. a close election, and you were in the clinton times you guys figured out a way to come to the center so he could win re-election. is that something biden needs to do now or are those days far behind us? >> a lot of it will depend upon whether trump is the republican nominee. they figure if trump is the republican nominee it will go maga republicans, anti-trump it will be rerun the playbook from the mid-terms. i don't think you will hear much about issues from anybody if there is a new challenger, i think it will change the dynamic

of the race and maybe require him to move to the center. you saw him take 1 or 2 measures. he vetoed the reform bill, the police reform bill in d.c. you've seen him okay the drilling in alaska. you have seen him take 1 or 2 steps that he could point to as more centrist but you certainly have not seen a wholesale reorienting and you won't see it during the primary season because the left is giving him comfort to be the nominee of a more or less united party even though the polls show so little support for a second term. >> dana: there we go. thank you, mark, great to have you today. >> bill: i think there is more to come. >> dana: a lot more to come. as a reminder fox news is hosting the first republican primary debate of this election cycle. it is scheduled for august in milwaukee and we will see you there. >> bill: an honor for princess

lea today. here we go. actress carey fisher getting a star on the hollywood walk of fame on may four, known as "star wars" day. she died of a heart attack in 2016. her star, this is cool, cool story here. her star will be across the street from the one that honors her mom, debbie reynolds. may the fourth -- >> dana: i've never seen those stars, have you? >> bill: yes, i have. >> dana: do you have one? do you want one? >> bill: when hell freezes over. >> dana: maybe we can get one on the sidewalk here for you. watch this. >> it's time to let paul come home. in the meantime, we will not stop. >> dana: the u.s. fighting to bring paul whalen home from russia. russia sentenced him to 16

years. how his sister confronted russia's top diplomat at the u.n. >> he has not committed a crime but a crime is against him. not the work of a mature and responsible nation, it is the action of a terrorist state. g on and paying off your high rate credit card debt and still have cash left over to put in the bank? with the newday 100 va cash out loan, you could do it all. take out an average of $70,000 with no upfront fees, no upfront appraisal fees, termite inspection or water test fee. because a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money.

>> bill: 15 minutes before the hour. more than 300 former moscow correspondents calling on russia to release the "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovitch. he has been detained there since his arrest on the 29th of march charged with espionage. gershkovitch, "wall street journal" and u.s. government deny these allegations. correspondents from 22 countries signed a joint letter to russian foreign minister lavrov demanding the kremlin drop all the charges against evan.

>> paul has not committed a crime but a crime has been committed against him. i no longer know what my brother looks like. i'm here to tell russia, free paul whelan. >> dana: her plea was also echoed. >> i want minister lavrov to look into her eyes and see her suffering. i want you to see what it is like to miss your brother for four years, to know he is locked up in a russian penal colony simply because you want to use him for your own means. let paul and evan come home. >> dana: she is the sister of paul whalen and it's wonderful

to have you here. >> bill: thank you for being here. >> dana: what was it like yesterday when you had a chance to see the russian foreign minister in person staring him in the eyes and asking for your brother to come home? >> it was a really emotional moment for me. i knew i was there for paul and see the person who was the embodiment of the country who kept him locked up for 4 1/2 years was very moving. i think we made a very good point having me there. >> bill: you have paul and two other siblings and you are, as you describe it, the old sister of the family. how often do you have contact with him over the past four years? >> i have had a few letters. we've been able to exchange letters but i can't talk to him. he can talk to our parents for 10 or 15 minutes at a time on phone. for the first two years held in a prison where evan is being held we didn't have a chance to

have any communication with him like that. so i can't wait until we can speak. >> bill: live pictures from the u.n. lavrov speaking there. >> dana: your brother david about paul sent eight days ago. paul told our parents feels like the u.s. government abandoned him. yesterday we were with the u.n. ambassador. could you reassure paul that the government has not abandoned him? how do you feel about the biden's administration's approach to get him back? >> paul thebe left behind twice when other people have come home. we are making the point that cannot happen again. we won't stand to see paul left behind in russia for a third time. at the same time, we know there are some good people trying to help get paul out of russia and we just need to keep them on the task. >> bill: i did not realize this. he is a province east and south

of moscow. i will guess 500 miles perhaps. >> i'm not sure. it is an 8-hour drive. >> bill: yesterday you said russia is a terrorist state. you said that it is so lazy that evan gershkovitch had the same interrogateor who harassed your brother two years ago. >> we don't know the details and probably won't until paul gets back but we do know the name of the fellow who led the investigation against paul. >> bill: why would they have the same russian do both cases? >> that's a good question. perhaps they are out of employees. for some reason because of the espionage charges you've used the same investigator. >> dana: did you see any support from the other countries there? >> absolutely. the u.k., canada and ireland have all been supportive of paul through the whole thing. and the ambassador from ireland

and canada stood with me to make remarks before we went into the council meeting. >> bill: when they grabbed evan three weeks ago, i had to think that some flashbacks came back to you and the rest of your family. >> we felt like we were living through paul's arrest over again. it was shocking especially with the charges being the same. we knew what was going to happen next to evan and to see that, to see it play out that way has been horrible. >> bill: you said paul has been passed over twice. ever had contact with britteny griner? >> no but i did with the group supporting her. we were pleased to see her and trevor reed come back. >> dana: you are generous and gracious and that is what is noted. you are invited back. thank you. tell your parents hello. >> bill: montana, chaos at the
