child to workday today and everybody wants -- kids! come over here. everybody over here. jared is going toic can the ball. run, run, run. kids, run, run. jared. >> brian: thank you clowns for kids.com. take it now. >> steve: kick the ball. >> bill: president biden in his first press conference in more than a month relying on cheat sheets and pre-written questions. how does that work out? probably pretty well if you are the guy getting the questions. thursday, good morning, bill hemmer. about two hours starts now. >> dana: this is "america's newsroom" and i'm dana perino. not the headline the white house wanted out of their visit yesterday, a successful meeting with the president of south korea.

>> bill: i have questions for you. >> dana: yesterday president biden took a cheat sheet to a new level. he was holding cue cards showing names of the cabinet officials and a pre-submitted question from the reporter. >> bill: the question reads as follows. how are you squaring your domestic priorities by reshoring -- here now is the question from that reporter "l. a. times"? >> thank you, mr. president. your top economic priority has been to build up u.s. domestic manufacturing in competition with china. but your rules against expanding chip manufacturing in china is hurting south korean companies that rely heavily on beijing. are you damaging a key ally in the competition with china to help your domestic politics ahead of the election? >> bill: not the good look.

the president is underwater on every key issue from national security to the economy. >> dana: team fox coverage. karl rove here to react. we begin with peter doocy at the white house. >> we've seen this president do a two-hour press conference, no sheet cheat and quick q and a on the way to the helicopter, no cheat sheet. for this event his staff didn't want any surprises so they could order naivetyed a question, it appears, with a reporter. we have reached out to the "l. a. times" to figure out what, if any, kind of conditions were agreed to and how exactly a near verbatim copy of their reporter's question was pasted to the president's piece of paper? we've seen this president with the grid that shows reporter head shots and names and where people are sitting. this is a lot more advanced than that. it comes amid major questions about president biden's age which he says he can't even wrap

his head around. >> president biden: with regard to age, i can't even say i guess how old i am i can't even say the number. it doesn't register with me. i expect them to take a hard look at it. i would as well. i took a hard look at it before i decided to run. >> rfk junior has peeled off 19% of democratic primary voters out last night. williamson 9%. president biden the presumptive nominee at 62% with no primary debates on the horizon. he does have republicans talking about his age today as well. >> the only thing worse than a joe biden presidency is a kamala harris presidency. she is the one that told us the border was secure. it is unsafe, insecure and wide open. >> they are kind of slow rolling a campaign trail start with a virtual event with donors later on tonight. dana. >> dana: can i ask you what is

the reaction from other reporters in the briefing room who don't get called on? >> so far from what i've been able to gauge, it is still early today, there is just a lot of confusion about what exactly happened. and how this happened. i know i've never seen the president waving around a piece of paper with any of my questions on them. nobody has ever asked me for a question. if they did i don't think i would tell them in such great detail. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: karl rove is with us now. want to talk about a big win for kevin mccarthy in the house. the importance of regular news conferences. you have the question whether or not you are satisfied with how things are happen in the country. how do you feel about how things are going today? 70% say they're dissatisfied. we have this flipped around there, karl. good morning and welcome to our coverage. what does it mean now when you

have got this embarrassing moment from the white house, americans concerned about the future and what's happening today. meanwhile you have a debt limit battle that kevin mccarthy succeeded at. he got a victory in a house where he was a 4 or 5-vote majority. >> first quickly on the poll. the poll shows a weakness in the president's standing among his own voice. people on the left of his party and women and younger people are discouraged about him. he has a problem with swing voters. they are concerned about his age and they are really sour. independents look more like republicans rating him on the issues than democrats. that can't be helped by the numbers this morning. 1.1% growth of the economy in the first quarter. estimated to be 2%. it was down from the fourth quarter of last year. the economy is slowing down. that ain't the way you want to go into an election.

>> dana: is it the way to help bring down inflation? that's what the fed -- a little between a rock and hard place there. >> absolutely he is in trouble on that. you're right. reagan had to go through this but he was going through it in 1982 and 1981 and it was the economy was growing by time he got to 1983, which is the equivalent of this year. you want to get this tough stuff out of the way early and have the economy growing as you come up to your election. instead we're slowing down. as to mccarthy, yes, big victory for him. he has only 222 republicans. he needs 218 and 16 of them had never voted for a debt increase when they were even under president trump. that didn't include the new members who had never had an opportunity one way or the other. to pull this off is strong. think about it.

recovering unspent covid money, limiting discretionary spending, requiring you have to look for work if you want to get a government benefit and cbo says this would cut the deficit over the next decade by $4.8 trillion. huge amount. now it's not going to be accepted by the democrats but it is a good starting point for negotiations. >> bill: we just showed what we found on the major issues on how he is under water in all of them. his unfavorables are high, 56%. that's the head winds he is running into with the announcement earlier in the week. joe biden's second basement campaign, he hid away in 2020 and now he released a video to announce that he is running again. you make the case you can't get away with that. or can he? >> well, he is going to try. this is a gamble. this is a big gamble. the white house is counting on two things. one that they will have a

compliant media that echoes their arguments and second of all the nominee will be donald trump and they beat him once before and he has not gotten better. focused on the past. election was stolen from me, i'm angry, filled with rage and grievance. conspiracy against me. this is a gamble. what if the republicans nominate someone forward-looking. what if the president no longer has a compliant media? that's a big stretch. back to the debt ceiling, we get this passed in the house of representatives by the republicans and what does the "washington post" do? on the front page it says define democratic objections in a moved that inched the u.s. closer to a fiscal crisis from tony rome and leah caldwell, reporters, not editorial page writers. this is supposedly news. this is what the media is doing. did they say these kinds of things when joe biden voted ten

times against raising the debt ceiling when republicans were in the white house and remember what he said about negotiating in 2011, a great thing and we ought to compromise and negotiation over the debt ceiling and crowed about how he successfully negotiated a deal with republicans in 2011? this is what the media is saying. republicans. instead of the democrats who are refusing to negotiate and say you have to pass a clean debt ceiling. he may be right on half of this. compliant media. we'll see if team biden made a good bet thinking it will only be trump that they'll face in 2024. >> dana: a lot of wind, karl. karl doesn't have caffeine. >> no caffeine. >> dana: one time he told me imagine if i did. we can imagine. >> bill: on the last point put

up number one. fox polling shows donald trump at 53%. ron desantis at 21. compared to a month ago where he was at 24. slipping a little bit for the florida governor out of the latest poll. what happened at the white house yesterday. this used to be your job, right? you would tell me many, many times that you knew what a reporter wanted to talk about if you called on them in the briefing room. >> dana: one of the things that you do as a press secretary, i'm not the first to say this since it all happened over the evening, but basically if you are following what the reporters in the briefing room are writing about you pretty much know. "the new york times" wrote this big piece about illegal aliens -- immigrants coming over and the children coming with them having to be forced into labor, unsafe factories, etc. you can imagine that they had the opportunity that "the new york times" might ask you about that. yesterday two questions he is going to get.

one is going to be are you too old to run for president? that's what 70% of americans say. second, what are you doing with the economy? only two things you need. i don't believe that biden necessarily needed all that spelled out for him. i think he possibly is being over managed. if they had a 24-hour window to prove that biden has the mental acuity and agility to do this job with any concerns and they blew it in one photo op. >> bill: you generally know the topic you are interested in but -- my question is has it happened before? what does the "l. a. times" say about this? >> dana: i bet not much. >> bill: peter doocy has a question. >> dana: disney, watch here. >> they had no accountability or transparency. that arrangement was not good for the state of florida. the idea that somehow being

pro-business means giving companies their own governments, that is not what a free market is all about. last i checked. >> dana: florida governor ron desantis saying disney's days of special treatment are over. it comes after disney filed a lawsuit against him claiming he is weaponizing the state government to retaliate against the company's woke policy. the latest on the escalating feud. >> desantis is doubling down to -- even though this fight with one of the largest media companies in the world may have implications for his political future. he is in israel today. reporters asked him about this latest disney drama. the company sued him on wednesday accusing him of a campaign of government retaliation to after disney's ex-ceo criticized a florida law that limits sexual discussion in

public schools. desantis is shrugging off the suit. >> i don't think the suit has merit and it is political. they filed in tallahassee for the reason. they're trying to generate some different court decision. we're very confident on the law. >> what does disney say? having exhausted efforts to seek a resolution the company is left with no choice but to file the lawsuit to protect cast members, guests from a relentless campaign for retaliation expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain state officials. many believe he will launch a presidential campaign in weeks and repeated attacks from president trump. the latest polling showing desantis trailing trump. 21% support to trump's 53. no campaign has been announced super pacs are already airing ads to boost desantis's profile.

unclear if the disney spat my limit his appeal to democrat voters. >> bill: want to show you at a house judiciary subcommittee. the foreign intelligence surveillance act. lawmakers looking into how the f.b.i. allegedly abused the law to spy on americans and an aide to donald trump. michael horowitz set the testify. we'll bring you headlines as they happen from the hill live. also this. >> they knew that remote was not right for our kids. we knew we had to be in school. we just wanted to be safe. >> dana: the head of the one of the country's biggest unions defender her role in closing schools during the pandemic and how closely her organization worked with the cdc to keep them closed. >> bill: a manhunt in mississippi. four inmates break out of a

prison. one accused of killing a pastor when he was on the lamb. we'll get an update on that. >> dana: karl rove laid it out. house republicans passed a bill to raise the debt limit. will president now come to the negotiating table? maria bartiromo crunches those numbers. and the payments high. consolidate that car loan into a newday home loan and save hundreds every month.

on saturday night. one of them, arrington, stole the motorcycle and crashed it. a good samaritan came to his aide, a 61-year-old pastor. arrington killed the pastor and stole his truck leaving a number of saddened parishioners behind. >> when i got ready to leave i told him, which i get a hug every sunday. i told him i said i'll go home. he turned around and he hugged me. >> there are three inmates still on the loose. one of them has been spotted at a convenience store in texas. reins escaped from the very prison two years ago. conditions at that prison are notorious. one judge found many cell doors don't even lock. back to you. >> bill: ongoing story there and we'll follow it. steve harrigan in atlanta.

>> dana: fox news alert on your money. first quarter gdp showing the u.s. economy slowing down sharply. inching along at an annual rate of 1.1%. analysts expected higher growth. let's bring in maria bartiromo. how should we digest it? good news that it's closing down because inflation might come down after that? >> i wouldn't say so. it is good news the federal reserve is doing what it said it will do. slow down the economy. the risk is we slow down so much we go into a recession which is widely expected at this point. when you look at the trend you are talking about an economy slowing down consistently. we've gone from 3.4% to 2.6% to 1.1%. i want to point out something else. a large majority of the growth that we saw in the first quarter came from auto sales and auto components.

remember it was really nice weather in january and february of this year. that brought people out to the car lots. they were looking buying cars and auto components and that boosted and contributed 45% to the 1.1% number. that's a big number. i don't know if auto sales and components will keep up. we're going down in terms of growth. >> bill: we've seen that trend. how do you feel about the economy? we asked this question in fox polling. 70% of you think it is getting worse. that's a direct reflection of the consumer. consumer spending is good at the moment. >> it is good because jobs are good. it is all tied together to the employment numbers. unemployment is expected to catch up in terms of job cuts. we're seeing a lot of industry announce job tech. look at tech, meta , goldman sachs. the employment situation is tight overall, wages are up, it is still failing to keep up with

inflation. tomorrow we get an important report out. the federal reserve's most favored report on inflation called the pce index and next week another federal reserve meeting expected the raise interest rates tuesday and wednesday by a quarter point. we talk about ten rate hikes. these rate hikes have slowed down the economy. the question is how much slower will we get, will it cut into job growth and the overall economy and turn us into recession? kevin mccarthy and the gop is doing is important in reining in spending that people believe that they are doing something about the runaway spending. unfortunately this serious package the gop came out with and passed the house yesterday was meth with an unserious answer from the president. joe biden saying it is whacko. maga republicans, extreme. there is not a lot extreme about reining in a 3.7 trillion debt. we want to hear from the president to see what he will do

next. some of these items were negotiating tactics. mccarthy and the republicans are talking about raising spending by 1%. to me it's a little unrealistic and feels like a negotiating tactic. >> bill: get rid of student loans. >> claw back covid money. >> we also saw we'll raise the debt ceiling. >> dana: they didn't think he could do it. >> he had a tremendous victory and rally 217 votes to pass that bill. now he has to deal with the democrats in the senate and it is probably going to fail in the senate and joe biden is promising to veto it. >> bill: a quick moment. here is mccarthy raising that yesterday.

>> you raise the question whether he could even become speaker. we went 15 rounds and became speaker. could we pass to end the pandemic to get back to work again. the senate won't take it up. the president said he would veto it. it is law today. so every question you continue to raise you guys have been wrong. you have underestimated us. >> bill: there we have it. >> he is keeping promises. the next thing is a border bill. they're keeping promises. >> bill: ten hikes in a year and a half. >> we went 0 for 15 years and 5% in a hurry. >> bill: transgender runner competing on both sides of the fence racing first as a man and later racing as a woman. is that fair? we'll talk to a two-time olympian runner about that. top boss of one of the most powerful teachers unions. did she pressure the cdc in calling for school lockdowns

>> do you know how many edits were included? >> one. >> it's unusual for a political union to have such a role in scientific guidance process. >> dana: randi weingarten facing questions on the hill. she said president biden's

transition team contacted the union for guidance in 2021 before he took office. one of the revelations we learned yesterday. iowa governor kim reynolds tried to make it out as no big deal. another exchange about the transition team. >> did the aft first engage the cdc or did the cdc reach out to you? >> so what essentially happened, sir, was that we were talking to the biden transition team before he was sworn into office. and we -- >> did they reach out to you? >> the biden transition team reached out to us. >> dana: the input was important in decision making as it tried to figure out a way to get schools open. we know, governor, that didn't happen. >> they didn't figure out a way to get schools open. they did everything they could to keep kids out of the

classroom and unconscionable the coordination between the biden administration and aft. follow the money. 2020 it was something like $20 million that went to democratic candidates. they're beholding to the democrats and that was obvious as we saw that play out throughout covid. some states keeping their kids out of the classroom for nearly two years. unconscionable what they did to those children. >> dana: the other thing is when she talks about a reasonable accommodation part was they wanted more resources and money. then the federal taxpayer gave all the money and they didn't spend it. >> exactly. they wanted more money. they wanted math. every time something was answered they came up with a new excuse why they couldn't get back in the classroom. no data to support that, none. a lot of data to support kids being back in the classroom. our kids played ball the summer in june of 2020. we did it safely and we had tea

-- 97%. we started school safely and responsible. a lot of data in republican-led states how to do it safely and responsibly and they had no interest in getting back in the classroom. they put themselves before the kids and the data is supporting that today. >> dana: when you bring up safety weingarten called it up yesterday. >> through remote education was not a substitute for opening schools but we also knew that people had to be safe and maybe it is because i live in new york city, i live near a hospital. every other minute there was an ambulance. there was terror. what we were simply looking for was clear scientific guidance. when we couldn't get it, we did it ourselves. >> dana: they did it themselves. here we have some results. nation's report card showing

results of 2022 versus 2019 we have math down five points and eight points in fourth and eighth grade and reading down three points. this has led to a real push for a change in school choice. one of the things you've done in iowa. give you a final word on that. >> absolutely. i'm telling you, covid exposed the educational system. parents are engaged and why it won't happen again and seeing a school choice revolution happening across the state. in iowa you have universal school choice, the first bill i signed this legislative session and put parents in charge. the other thing we did is in 2017 collective bargaining reform that started to hamper some of the effect that teacher unions have. we brought parents and taxpayers to the table and we'll see really positive results from both of those initiatives that we were able to get across the table. parents aren't taking it

anymore. parents had to be appalled when they listened to her testimony and tried to rewrite history trying to be a mom, employee, wife, teacher, many women had to step out of the workforce in order to teach their children. some of these kids decades of learning loss that will never be recovered and they own it. they own it. >> dana: thank you for coming on today and keep following those results there as you pass that bill earlier this year. >> bill: as they say they don't call it is student's union, it's the teacher's union. the percentage of schools that opened by january of 2021 appeared may of 2021. in march they passed the american rescue plan. in the plan was $122 billion for schools. from our understanding a lot of that money hasn't been spent. >> dana: 85% of the money not spent. >> bill: paris hilton is teaming

united states rather than mexico. also laredo sector agents have come from 200 miles away here to assist rgb agents in processing all these migrants in brownsville. it appears the action is just beginning. send it back to you. >> bill: buckle up. nate foye, brownsville, texas. thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: two major upsets in the nba play office. overtime shocker, heat beating the bucs 128 to 126. watch here. >> bill: wow. >> dana: just like that the heat advances to the second round and they are going to face hemmer's new york knicks who clobbered cleveland. even after losing their leading scorer. came one against the heat is sunday at madison square garden.

>> bill: in case you haven't heard the new trend from certain schools is the ditch homework and the ditch the deadlines in favor of equitable grading. this teaching strategy removes traditional grading and attendance and extra credit to equal the playing field for kids who face hardships at home is the way it's explained. the author and host of a podcast. how are you? >> good morning. good to be here. >> bill: do you take merit and throw it out the window? this is las vegas, california, iowa to virginia it appears to me if you were a talented student and you are smart you will forlonger be challenged if

you have nothing to do after school. >> that's right. some people used it -- forget the intentions, look at the outcome. you are training kids to do things bad for them in the long run. that's what's happening here. if you continue to educate children in this way and as an outsider i can say this i'm from russia originally. they aren't doing this in russia or china. they are trying to get their maths and engineering and all those things to be as good as possible because they understand the world of competition. but if you continue to go down this path what does that mean for the united states? what does it mean for the west? we should all be concerned about it. silver lining growing up in the soviet union we had ideology being rammed down everybody's throat but your parents could teach you not to buy into it. this is a thing as a parent you have a job to inoculate your children as much as possible. if you can teach them life this about competition, winning and being better they will crush in

the current environment. everybody else has been told you get a medal for nothing. >> dana: we saw it in a fox news poll last night questioning problems with schools. book banning is a concern, too much focus on race at 51% and transgender policies at 49%. parents not having enough say at 48%. i'm curious. you mention the soviet union but have so much experience in the u.k. is this a problem for western civilization or just the u.s.? >> i always say to people in america everything you flush down the toilet we get for breakfast the next day. so this is what is happening. this ideology is spreading around the western world. that's why those of us who are not in the united states are as concerned about it as you guys are because we know it's coming. to a large extent it is already infiltrating our society. everyone should be focused on that. >> bill: the first point is well taken. parents can fight back against

this. your reflection on growing up in moscow not as russia, soviet union was that the parents at home could say don't listen to the garbage. >> that's my parents first opening section of my book i talk about the conversations my parents had with me said you are about to go to school. you don't get to say all these things that are problematic. familiar to people nowadays. don't say anything because you are going to cause problems for yourself. >> dana: did you ever get in trouble at school? >> all the time. look at me. i just paid a career out of it going forward. the parents would have a conversation with you and say they will tell you this, this and this. this is all b.s. and don't buy into it. >> dana: do you think it should happen here? >> 100%. the good thing about the united states you can get involved, right? you can run for the school board and talk to other parents. parents can organize and say do we want this to be taught to our children? it is easier said than done but you have more scope to push back

against some of the stuff. called an immigrant's love letter to the west. the west is good and i think we should preserve it instead of beating ourselves up about it. >> dana: spend more time in america. >> would love to. take care. >> dana: republicans say the f.b.i. is stonewalling their efforts to learn more about secret chinese police stations in the united states. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: hour one is done. i'm bill hemmer. the lack of f.b.i. cooperation is upsetting members of the house china committee demanding a classified briefing. also concerned the bureau did not know about these stations until last year when they were flagged by a human rights organization. here is congressman andy barr on that. >> we know of 30 public reports of chinese police stations engaged in
