secretary karine jean-pierre coming up in the next hour. the president launching his campaign in a three-minute video promising to finish the job in a second term in the white house. >> sandra: the president will need to win over voters concerned about his age, 80 years old, as well as the millions of americans tired of stubbornly high prices and filling up gas tanks a daunting task for two straight years now. >> john: fox team coverage begins now, charles payne is standing by, but first peter doocy, live in wilmington, delaware, and peter, what is the biden team's early strategy in the campaign rollout? >> john, we have been in touch with president biden's campaign team and they are telling us the early strategy is just to let the president be the president. so official duties over campaign stops, and we are seeing that,

these remarks going on in washington, d.c., he has not even mentioned the re-election. it's a lot of stock lines that we have heard before like this one. >> i learned a long time ago there is labor and there's unions, unions. >> a lot of that. the republican national committee first crack at a response is an artificial intelligence generated video programmed to forecast a worst case scenario for a second biden term. >> border agents were overrun by a surge of 80,000 illegals yesterday evening. >> close the city of san francisco, citing escalating crime and fentanyl crisis. >> who is in charge here? >> feels the train is coming off the tracks. >> the theme of this three-minute long announcement video are republicans are too extreme. less time spent on any kind of new biden policy proposal than there is listing the top issues

he sees with the gop. >> maga extremists are lining up to take on bedrock freedom, cutting social security you paid for your entire life, cutting taxes, dictating what healthcare decisions women can make, banning books and telling people who they can love while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote. >> and so the video is out there, everybody is talking about it, except the president himself. john. >> at least he's not in the basement, peter doocy in wilmington, sandra. >> sandra: that gives us a lot to chew on. charles payne is here, host of "making money" on fbn. the president giving the speech at the hotel in washington, he summed up what we are about to dig into, and about six seconds, here is the president. >> that's not hyperbole, that's a fact. our economic plan is working. we now have to finish the job.

>> sandra: he says that is fact. their economic plan is working. full screen three, put it up. overall cost of living under this president, and this is something the american people feel and live through every single day, cost of living up 15%. energy prices, up 33%. food prices up more than 18%. i mean, charles, that is the reality on the ground for the american people. how can he tout success for his policies? >> you know, i don't know. you know, but he's got a habit of always saying something is a fact when it's anything but a fact and can be debated. it's fairly frustrating. the bottom line, they never had a plan, per se, sandra. the bottom line was take advantage of covid, continue to call it a crisis even though we have passed the crisis phase, use that to trillions and trillions of dollars. you pump trillions of dollars into the economy and you are going to have a good gdp. maybe he's talking about that. that's a nominal number. in real life, what did it give

us? the day we got the 1.9 trillion approved, real wages have never been the same. negative every single month. talking two years now, every month real wages and real lives, the people you are talking about, folks watching the show right now. and every poll is shocking, every single poll. >> sandra: do you think people are buying it? >> these are the same people telling pollsters their lives are misery. every single economic poll from every organization over the last several months have said the same thing. cataclysmic. it's probably going to get worse, probably going to get worse. >> sandra: that is the prediction people are responding to in the latest pew poll. americans' outlook for the economy, not just next year or five years from now, they are looking out into 2050, and pew reveals this, the economy, most people believe, will be weaker come 2050. their prediction. 66% believe it to be the case.

wealth gap predicting will grow 81%. that's a pretty miserable outlook. >> it is. pick up on the wealth gap. this is a president that's been extraordinarily -- he's helped the wealthy tremendously. again -- >> sandra: he does not say that, he says he's the middle class guy. >> silicon valley bank, i want people never to for get it. the bank that drove itself to bankruptcy through ignorance really, president biden bailed out their depositors. everyone is covered to 250,000. average bank account, 42,000. these are the richest in his america. top ten accounts had $13 billion. i mean, this government bailed out the richest people in america. he wants to pay their college loans. it's not an anti-welcome back president, this is pro wealth, pro establishment, he tripled

the unions from here and there, but don't confuse the words versus the deeds. the deeds regular people are suffering so badly. >> sandra: speaking of regular people, a montage the team put together of americans grading biden as he just said our economic plan is working on the economy. listen. >> if there was one lower than f, for that. i think we are mismanaged. to a severe degree. >> i give him about a d. >> f. >> d plus. >> i mean, you look at value of the dollar right now. and you look at the national deficit, and where we are at. as a country, farther in debt. he's not helping out the situation. >> sandra: that does not sound so good, not very good grades by the average american asked on the street. we are not cherry picking data or information, we are putting it all out there, including stock market, the u.s. stock market. president says he does not like

to talk about that, it's not a measure of the broad economy in america but we all do watch it. and this is the u.s. stock market performance under president biden and the market is up over the past two years, the dow up 9%, s & p, broader gauge of the market 8%, nasdaq, technology heavy nasdaq has taken a double digit hit but the broader stock market is up, charles. what is your response to that? >> that's -- the stock market is up 75% at a time. so if you go back 100 years, it's up 75 years. 200 years, up 150 years, whatever it is. par for the course. all the money we pour into the economy we could have done better. stock market could have done better and i think some of these other things, and some of these folks you heard allude to it internationally, the value of the dollar falling apart, at this very moment, sandra, 19 countries have applied to be

part of brix, brazil, russia, india and china. we are losing power, not just domestically, but internationally. >> sandra: different response to the stock market up, what does it matter for the average american investor is gobbled up by inflation. these are commodities under joe biden. you know me, i watch these very closely and we pulled this data together, crude oil up 45%. wholesale gasoline, up 66%. heating oil, 53%. nat gas, global market has come down, acknowledge that. but overall inflation year over year, past two years, skyrocketing. >> we have emptied out the strategic petroleum reserve. what happens when we do have an emergency. >> great point. we are going to put some questions to nikki haley, her first interview will be here

tomorrow after the speech today as she took on abortion as a candidate, we'll ask her to spopd to the president's pitch on the economy as well. charles, thanks so much. have a great show. >> john: a new migrant caravan could be headed to the u.s. more than 3,000 migrants set out from southern mexico sunday on their way to mexico city. they are demanding the end of detention centers like one that caught fire last month killing 40 migrants. nate foy is live at the u.s.-mexico border. what are you seeing, nate, where you are at the moment? >> specifically in brownsville, a lot of action and we have been. and more broadly in the rgv sector, in the part 24 hours, border patrol has encountered 2600 migrants, 2,000 in brownsville alone. more are being processed behind me with border patrol. with the rain we cannot get the live drone up but take a look at the video as this morning we showed up and the steady trickle

of migrants continued here in brownsville. the rgv sector chief says they are averaging about 1,000 migrants every single day for the past two weeks. and that number is expected to go up with the end of title 42 coming up on may 11. take a look at this next exclusive video, john. this is the final part of the long journey for migrants coming to the u.s. you see them using a raft, looks like an inflatable bed and rope to guide across the rio grande. the middle of the river is too deep to walk so they have to use that. take a look where they are coming from. fox news was in mexico at the migrant camp, a couple thousand are waiting for the end of title 42, don't have running water, they are living in tents, some in worse conditions than that, no work, constant frustration with the cbp1 app and some say they cannot wait any longer to come to the u.s. other migrants don't want to be

seen. the next video from hidalgo county, arrested a driver and apprehended five illegal migrants in this human smuggling chase. vehicle flipped, migrants pour out of the car and five were caught and facing charges. the city of el paso is preparing for a big surge with title 42 set to end. across the border, estimates are 35,000 migrants are waiting to cross and the city is extending a state of emergency so that they can open shelters to accommodate that rush of migrants. back to you. >> john: nate, thank you. >> sandra: riot police descending on montana's capital after far left protestors

>> john: shocking new video at a san francisco, just how far stores have to go in order to stop out of control shoplifters. take a look at this. aisle after aisle under lock and key as repeat offenders take advantage of soft on crime policies. things have gotten so bad in the golden gate city that governor gavin newsom is sending in the national guard to protect folks from the open air drug markets where deadly fentanyl is easily obtained. is this city falling into what's called a doom loop as violence and crime force people and

businesses to leave. bring in katie pavlich, editor of town hall.com and fox news contributor. a target store, the cosmetic section of the store behind lock and key. something very wrong about all of this. this is not the america that we all know and love. >> it's no way to live, and it's important to take a look at how san francisco got to this state. i mean, three years ago the mayor, mayor london breed was calling to defund the police. they then did that, they started sending social workers to a number of what they would call nonviolent calls which includes shoplifting, and this is the result. now fast forward a month ago, london breed, the mayor wrote a letter to the u.s. attorney saying there are open air drug market, crime is out of control we need help and now they have what one of the san francisco supervisors calling potentially catastrophic shortage of police. this is the consequence of the actions they took by giving in

to the defund the police movement by thinking that social workers could handle what was happening in san francisco streets and when it comes to the business side of it with the pictures you are seeing, the video here, corporations are leaving. whole foods opened a year ago in downtown san francisco, it's a liability to stay to have employees walking through the dangerous areas. so, ultimately you have all the small businesses which have already left, and then corporations leave, the jobs go, the tax base goes, and then you have basically a desert of open air drug dealing, criminality, which becomes a magnet for more of this type of behavior where people come and travel to engage in this kind of activity. so san francisco created this monster and now they are dealing with the consequences. >> john: this is the doom loop we were talking about, and you think about the whole foods store, flagship store trinity place, they say temporarily closed. we see this in san francisco and remember how beautiful the city was at one point. but it happens elsewhere across the country as well. you and i during the break were

talking about your experience at a walgreens in new york city. >> walgreens in times square and we were just there buying basic items around 9:00 at night and these young men walked in, no shirts on, clearly high on drugs, just taking things off the shelves, walking out of the store and then coming back into the store, berating the clerk because they did not give them a bag, the clerk saying -- >> john: didn't give them a bag -- >> and they are making everybody in the store uncomfortable, and berating the cashier, just a person trying to make an honest living by being a cashier at the walgreens, and yet they are the ones being spunsed with this kind of behavior and the policies. so when this happens in cities across the country in san francisco and we mentioned the whole foods thing is a temporary closure, easy to tear things down, difficult to build them back up. and when you see it happen in cities across the country, it will take generations to turn this around if they don't want

to elect people who are willing to put in tough on crime policies and realize the mistakes they made when it came to defunding the police. >> john: my next point, i can't believe the gall to demand a bag for something they are stealing. a target spokesperson said like other retailers organized retail crime is a concern. we are taking proactive measures, mitigation efforts include hiring additional security guards, adding third party guard services at select locations and using new technologies. these cases and tools to protect merchandise from being stolen. this is becoming the new normal across america. it shouldn't be. and where aren't politicians in places like california. gavin newsom has thought about running for president. why aren't they doing this? >> reformers say we want to send social workers which san francisco did and now a crime

crisis. these are material crisis, who cares if someone is stealing. it's not about the stuff they are stealing, it's about the money that would bring into the community so people can live there. and the workers. >> john: and the store moving out. >> i remember during -- in minnesota during the 2020 riots, the city was burned down in a lot of places. this poor woman was interviewed by a local reporter, crying beside herself, my community and the one store i depend on, it has been destroyed, now i don't know what i'm going to do because i'm not going to have access to my community anymore. and again, it's really easy to burn it down, very difficult to build it back up. >> john: and the criminals on the miracle mile going to do when louis vitton moves out. >> maybe move to a different city. >> sandra: chinese owned company swooped up hundreds of acres of land. what's beijing's plans for it?

>> john: president biden making it official. he will seek a second term but does he have enough support from within his own party to become president again? what does michigan democratic congresswoman debbie dingle think about all of this? >> its great for republicans. 70% of americans don't want him to run for re-election. 51% of democrats don't want him to run for re-election. it■s hard eating healthy. unless you happen to be a dog.

this part of president biden's push for green energy? >> that's right, it is. talking about two massive projects backed by companies with ties to china. these facilities plan to open shop in michigan and now hundreds of people who live there are fighting back. so, take a look here. where goshen plans to break ground in west central michigan. goshen incorporated is a u.s.-based company that makes batteries for electric cars, but its parent company is based in china. the company looking to break ground in green charter township will make parts for electric batteries. some local officials tell us it will bring in big money and jobs for this community. >> already 52 chinese owned companies in the state of michigan, so i don't know where that holds water, i don't see it as a spy base location to infiltrate, you know, any of the

inner workings of the government and/or local. >> other people who live there, john, do. many are worried about national security risks and hundreds of residents are protesting the plan. >> i was amazed at how far people came from around our state to come to this in support of this, and the people that came and spoke against it and we continue to meet, we continue to fight, and we are going forth with whatever option and plan that we have. >> questions are still swirling about a ford plant in marshall, michigan, 200 miles away from the other location. the ford motor company teaming up with another plan to spend 300 million bucks for an e.v. plan. come of the part and workers will come from china. the plant will be run by ford. a dozen states have laws on the books that prevent foreign adversaries from buying u.s.

farmland. many others, including michigan, could soon be on the list. >> john: alexis, thank you. >> sandra: michigan congresswoman debbie dingle serves on the house energy and commerce committee. thank you for joining us. where do you stand on this? should this company be able to make your state home? >> first of all, i'm going to tell you this issue is a very complicated issue. i don't want to see those batteries being built in china, i don't want us to be more dependent on china, i want us to become less dependent upon china. therefore, either they are built with chinese workers there or by american workers. i have had very long talks with ford about, i do not believe that any tax dollars should to a chinese company to support the work they are doing. we have a challenge in this country right now. we don't have the intellectual property that we need to have to develop these batteries. we are trying to get at the forefront of innovation and technology, the companies are

working to get that. so do i share concerns, yes. i'm concerned about the fact the autonomous vehicles approved driving around in san francisco that i know are collecting data. on the other hand, we have to build those jobs here. the ford motor company has assured me they are managing that joint venture that no dollar is going to china, this they are going to learn from this. >> sandra: do you think china will play by the rules? >> honestly, i have to count on our government to make sure and these companies to make sure they are playing by the rules. but am i worried about national security implication, i have to tell you that i am and get it to the point we don't need a joint venture with china but that we have the ability to be at the forefront of innovation and technology and american know how and workers j the batteries. >> sandra: it's still a chinese-owned parent company. this company answers to the chinese communist party.

>> so there's two different -- well, ford motor company says they own the land, they own the joint venture, they are doing it. the second company i have not spent as much time with, but it is an american company. but they are in a partnership with the chinese parent -- with the chinese company and let us be clear, if you are a chinese business, the communist government is part of your business. so, it's something that worries me every day and it's a balance that we have to reach. but the fact of the matter is, i want americans building them, i want the jobs here so we have to move as quickly as possible as a country, as -- to support innovation and technology happening here, which is what we did with the chips bill. most people know i worked in the auto industry. when i started in the auto industry we built 40% of the chips in the world. now we are down to 12 or 14%. >> sandra: i think we are getting away from the point here, this would be near a u.s. military base, you are talking about hundreds of acres of land

that this company, that you are saying and touting will have u.s. workers, but it is still owned by a parent company that is chinese-owned, and to suggest that you are just going to believe that they'll play by the rules when they are owned and operated by china, isn't that a risk you are willing to take? >> one, i am not sure who owns that land. if it's the american parent company or the chinese, and i am going to ask that question when we are done here. i have been told that the americans control it. no, i think -- but i do want to see that innovation and technology happen here in the u.s. and these companies are saying that this is what they must do to get the i.p. so, we and our military have to be very observant and very strong protecting our national security. >> sandra: and finish by asking about the president's announcement, so this is almost

an acknowledgment that we are not there yet. you are talking about the intellectual property to build the chips, to be able to supply. >> the chips, we do have it. >> sandra: but to supply the e.v. demand this president is pushing and some of these states that are banning, you know, gas fuelled cars in this country, you are acknowledging that we are just not there yet. and that is what further puts us dependent on china for these batteries. so, why are we making this big push right now when we just cannot support it here in this country? >> let me be very clear about what i support and what i don't support. the environmentallists and the unions came together and set a target for 50% e.v. by 2030. reaffirmed commitment to developing the technology to build it here. but we have the bipartisan infrastructure law, and the ira bill, inflation, putting the

resources into developing it. but we have to make sure those underlying policies are there and that we are not moving too quickly. i am very clear about that. we have to make sure the policies are there to support the policy to where we want to go. >> sandra: running out of time, your reaction to the president's announcement today rolled out at 6:00 eastern time in the morning. this as the president's own party, a majority of which are responding that they don't want 80-year-old president biden to run for re-election. where do you personally fall on this, congresswoman, and does your party want to see this happen? >> i think joe biden is going to get very strong support from democrats across the country and let me be very clear. that poll is a snapshot in time. all the polling in the world in 2016 said donald trump could not win and i was one of the people saying donald trump would win. i have been in many places in this country in the last few months. people believe that joe biden has an agenda, he is trying not to divide us, he cares about

this country, that he has delivered on a bipartisan infrastructure bill, that he's delivered on other bills and they want to see him complete it and i believe you will see him get very, very strong support. >> sandra: does he have your support? >> yes, he has my support, absolutely. >> sandra: but try not to divide us, announced it by taking on maga republicans. >> well, but that's -- maga republicans are dividing us as a country and joe biden will put everybody in the room, including maga republicans. that has been the way that he has operated and what he does. >> sandra: congresswoman, we always appreciate when you join us and if you could get back to us on the answer who is going to own that land in your state. >> ford, i have to check the other, i've not been talked to as much about that site. >> sandra: we will follow up, thank you so much. >> john: 2024 election campaign with bret baier at the top of the hour, he has some thoughts about biden jumping back in, throwing his hat back into the

ring and what his chances might be for re-election. >> sandra: great. >> john: major speech from republican candidate nikki haley. >> this shouldn't be about one movement winning and another losing. shouldn't be about picking sides, scoring points or stoking outrage. it's about saving babies and supporting moms. >> john: her speech on abortion coming just hours before vice president harris is set to make remarks of her own on the topic. how big is the issue for 2024? we will ask our political panel, garrett and patrick, coming up. >> sandra: defense for idaho murder suspect bryan kohberger claims there is a witness who could help clear his name? who's that, and what does it mean for the prosecution. they just piled it on. roast beef, ham, oven roasted turkey. all on the subway club. three peat - that's great. three meat - that's epic.

>> john: one of the survivors of the attack that killed four idaho college students last fall is fighting a subpoena to testify in court. bryan kohberger's defense attorney says she could help clear her client. what do we know about the surviving roommate, dan? >> bethany funk was in her room in the basement when the murders took place and we know that she is not the roommate who got a look at the suspect right after the murders of the four people in the house. in fact, funk was barely mentioned in the probable cause affidavit filed by the police to get an arrest warrant for bryan kohberger. she told police she stayed on the first floor through the first time of the murders and after the bodies were discovered some eight hours later. but what the investigator told

to the court to get a subpoena to compel her to testify at the preliminary hearing. during the course of my investigation it became known to me bethany funk has information material to the charges against mr. kohberger. portions of the information miss funk has is exculpatory to the defendant. her information is unique to her experiences and cannot be provided by another witness. funk now lives in reno, nevada, fired a lawyer fighting the subpoena that it was issued without a hearing even though she's out of state and nothing in the court record she has anything useful either for the defense or the prosecution. kohberger's preliminary hearing set for june 26th in moscow, idaho. funk has been ordered to show up on the 28th. the hearing is expected to last five days. it's unclear what the magistrate will do with the motion to quash the subpoena. might be a hearing on the issue in the coming days, we'll have to see. kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder

evacuations go. meantime, on the screen, france managed to use the airport to get 500 out, saudi arabia 357, and 2 americans, raises the question, why isn't the u.s. running similar operations? >> i got to be honest with you, and we all -- anybody that has worn a uniform and involved in these kind of operations would say we hate to monday morning quarterback. when you are in a tent and looking at the tv screen and some yahoo is talking about the operation but it is puzzling. sudan is a difficult place to operate in logistically, let alone a war going on. taking the american embassy out is a piece of cake, it's a narrow target, you know exactly where the people are. neither side really wants to kill americans, so that's -- i didn't get that. but we knew the country was on

knife edge and the difficulties, and i get deja vu like benghazi and afghanistan, and so risk averse if we just pretend there is not a problem, we won't have to deal with it. for the u.s. government to say we don't care about the citizens and the country because we said sudan is a dangerous place, shouldn't be there. i just don't get it. and we look like yahoos compare to literally every other country on the planet earth that's evacuating the citizens. >> john: general keith kellogg said it's the fourth time for the biden administration to shut down an embassy. >> we have only temporarily suspended operations at the u.s. embassy in sudan. we fully intend to resume these operations as soon as it is safe to do so.

>> john: the place is going to hell in a handbag. i mean -- how could you -- >> really, somebody ran away from the embassy in afghanistan, we are not going back there any time soon. we are back in the ukraine embassy, but a pattern here. the administration has either ignored or precipitated a crisis and then they literally wind up recreating saigon 1975, like pulling people off the roof. it's just nuts. the reality is look, the israelis were the ones that really wanted the sudanese to be part of the abraham accords, they pushed the trump administration, pushed the biden administration, the biden administration signed the deal, but listen, we knew it was an unstable place and to not be prepared to deal with it or even worse, honestly like afghanistan and ukraine. things that have never happened to begin with, the u.s. should have been in there and holding its feet -- people's feet to the fire and keeping these things

happening to begin with. you know, divisions, they are after -- that's not nearly as good as the american presence up front and waving their finger and saying don't do this, dude. and i just think, you know, we are just leaving dumpster fires all over the world. >> john: sullivan downplayed the idea of the u.s. military being involved in evacuations in places like sudan. what he said yesterday, he said it's not standard practice for the united states to send in the u.s. military to extract american citizens from war zones. we didn't do it in libya, didn't do it in syria, didn't do it in yemen and no, we didn't do it in ukraine. afghanistan was a unique case involving the end of the 20 year war the united states was certainly involved in. well, we also know in afghanistan hundreds, or tens of thousands of people were evacuated but hundreds of thousands were left behind. the administration says look, a lot of the people are dual citizens, might not even not want t leave the country but a lot of people i would think,

james, want to get the heck out. >> they sound like teenagers who say all the beer missing and the wrecked car, i don't know how it happened, it's not my problem. no, this is ridiculous. and go back and look at afghanistan. that was a debacle. we wound up evacuating people we shouldn't have had to do that. and the military operation, the first thing you say is what went right, what went wrong, so we do better next time. so the administration is involved in multiple embassy issues they have had to deal with u.s. citizens in a crisis situation and they are worse at it than they were in afghanistan. how is that possible? >> john: i think we need to give kudos to the military which did mount a very effective operation, from djibouti with chinook helicopters to evacuate the embassy staff but the policy, ok, we have got them out, what about the rest? >> we could have done a very responsible withdrawal from

afghanistan if we needed to, if the president listened to the military. but this is a very risk averse president when thinks keeping your head in the sand is the best thing to do and then deal with it and lie and say it's not your fault if it goes wrong. >> john: james, great to get your take on things. you never hold back. thank you. >> sandra: the white house is set to hold a press briefing, this is a live look at the white house, this will be the first time we'll have a briefing since president biden announced his run for re-election hours ago. we'll listen in for big news for that. randy weingarten is set to face questioning of covid era school closures and the consequences for our children. bret baier, morgan ortagus, and a whole lot more as "america reports" heads into a brand-new hour. safelite came right to , and we could see exactly when they'd arrive

with a replacement we could trust. that's service the way we want it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.
