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 trans national

repression. in the united states and elsewhere, being spied upon by the chinese communist party. we knew about this and we wanted to know what is the f.b.i. doing about it? we see the f.b.i. taking some actions against a chinese police station in new york city with the arrest of two individuals, chinese individuals. and also charges against 44 chinese nationals. but more needs to be done. >> bill: okay. bryan llenas is covering the story in new york. let's pick it up from there. >> good morning. the congressional select committee on china warns the chinese communist party is operating a sophisticated network of secret police stations, aide centers and nonprofits in the u.s. saying this feat work harasss, controls and intimidates chinese americans and is secretly trying to influence u.s. politicians. the f.b.i. has failed to share any information about this threat even in classified briefings prompting committee chairman mike gallagher to write

a letter to f.b.i. director christopher wray demanding more information by the end of may quote, we're disappointed that the briefing failed to provide a response to any of our questions listed in our initial letter and that it did not inform select committee members about the f.b.i.'s efforts to address the very significant threat of trans national repression by the ccp. >> they could not answer basic questions. that was not acceptable. we're unfortunately having to follow up with the f.b.i. director to engage with the committee in a conversation about something that is a clear violation of american sovereignty. >> seeking answers to basic questions like how many secret chinese police stations are there in the u.s. and when did the f.b.i. know about this threat? the ngo safeguard defenders released a report in the fall uncovering over 100 secret illegal chinese police stations worldwide, including at least four in the u.s. a month after

the report the f.b.i. raided a secret police station in downtown manhattan and this month arrested two suspected ccp agents who allegedly ran it under the guise of a cultural nonprofit. in march a suspected agent was photographed rubbing elbows with chuck schumer and mayor adams. they both donated $32,000 to new york democratic politicians. will, chairman gallagher says politicians need to be more aware of ccp efforts to influence them beginning with more transparency from the f.b.i. >> bill: it was a stunner when you broke it. more to come on this clearly. >> dana: the house committee sent a letter to the f.b.i. director saying the threat of china's repression schemes that target chinese american citizens undermines the american principles of freedom and liberty. law enforcement agencies must hold them to account and better protect the u.s. from future

threats. did you see china freaked out about this? they're so angry we would ever have dared to expose this scheme. >> bill: i would bet the chinese americans who live here and travel home to see their family are well aware of this. when they go home they know the ccp is watching their phone. >> dana: a terrible way to live. we have to protect them. a controversial biden administration rule will soon require mortgage lenders to penalize home buyers with a high credit score. a group of 18 senate republicans are demanding to know how this policy decision was made. eric schmitt is one of those republicans and join us now. this would actually hurt everybody who did something right to get their credit score up so they could be responsible citizens. they will be penalized because they did the right thing. >> yeah, it is reason number 573 why joe biden shouldn't be in charge of the united states of america. this is a war on merit. what you said, dana.

you play by the rules, pay your bills on time and have a good credit score and rewarded for that under joe biden paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars more every month or every month and every year for your mortgage application. when you apply you get penalized. add this on top of the student loan debt forgiveness scam joe biden put into place the sort of equity agenda that's fundamentally unfair. >> dana: they would be paying the higher fee in order to off set and help the people who did not do the right thing and might have a lower credit score. so those borrowers would then the higher-end buyers will have to subsidize people who didn't do the right thing. >> bill: you mentioned the war on merit. we were talking about that with our guest from england. a guy born in soviet russia talking about homework. now you are talking about mortgage rates. and you mention the student loan. that's three things in one

segment that talks about a different measure of equity in america. is that what this administration is all about, senator? >> absolutely. it is pervasive. they have -- they are spending billions of dollars across their proposed budget on d.e.i. initiatives. they have this agenda that again goes after middle class families who are playing by the rules trying to make ends meet at every turn they get kicked in the pants by this biden administration to appease the radical left. i was just yesterday asking the secretary of energy questions about this green new deal and the idea we have all the energy we will ever need under our feet but obsessed with climate alarmism and the american taxpayer pay more for energy because we refuse to be energy dominant. this administration is december

stricttive for people who work hard. >> dana: granholm admitted money from us is going to china. >> all of those companies are going through vetting process to insure that there are no -- no money flowing to countries of concern. >> dana: that was in response to one of your questions? >> it was. we confronted her with the idea they've already awarded a grant of $2 hundred million to a company where their primary business operations are in communist china. so they pass this ridiculous bill, inflated inflation reduction act of last year. they have all these green energy giveaways and we find out now they are going to chinese companies. we'll hold her to that. she committed it won't happen even though they already awarded that grant to that company that's primary operation is in china. this is pervasive. they refuse to unleash american

energy and we're begging venezuela, saudi arabia for oil. also asked her why we release our strategic petroleum reserve to china. a 40% drop. this administration has been a total disaster makes everything more expensive for more people and we have to put an end to it. >> bill: and the military is going green. nice to see you today. thank you. i just want to make a fine point of this. if you are a young american. it isn't the end of the world. you are growing up now and getting a break on your mortgage, a break on your student loan and homework, at what point do you say no, you have to complete these tasks? you have to be a good, responsible citizen for your own good. >> dana: i think the mortgage fee issue will be one. i feel like in journalism you say the story has legs. we talked about it last week and came out of the blue. i don't know how it flew so under the radar. we started covering it and now getting more out there and there might be a way to turn it back

or at least expose the biden administration trying to do something that might put is back in the position of a mortgage crisis of 2008. >> bill: we don't want that. house speaker kevin mccarthy. >> the sad part is that the democrats need to do their job. the president can no longer ignore not negotiating. senator schumer, if he thinks he has a plan, put it on the floor and see if you can pass it and we can go to conference. but now the president can no longer put this economy in jeopardy. we lifted the debt limit and sent it to the senate. we've done our job. the only body in here that's done theirs. >> bill: the house speaker kevin mccarthy touting a major win as republicans pass the bill to hike the debt ceiling. majority is slim. this was right on the edge. he says it is now up to democrats to do their part and compelled the president to

negotiate. we'll see when it happens and if it happens. chad pergram live on the hill with more. >> good morning. the volley is now in the court of president biden. the vote was the biggest win of mccarthy's speakership. it was just a dress rehearsal for a bigger battle this summer. observers were skeptical mccarthy had the votes. >> that's interesting. all your questions is how could i ever pass the bill, they said we never could. we were the only body that passed anything. democrats are putting the country in jeopardy. the president by ignoring to even negotiate, the majority of americans want us to sit down and negotiate. >> it is all about the math. mccarthy muscled the bill to passage yesterday. the vote 217 to 215. conservatives were reluctant to vote yes.

what are the chances they can stomach a bill from the senate? >> if biden and the senate doesn't approve it they own the shutdown. i wanted three times the cuts. the country is in trouble. we can't spend money we don't have. >> they hope passing the bill applies pressure on mr. biden to meet the speaker. >> let him decide who he wants to invite to the white house. i'm sure he will. i get a sense of what they believe is the best next step so i'm sure that will be what they bring to the white house. >> the challenge is drafting a bill which can pass both the house and senate. we still don't know the debt ceiling deadline. the middle of june is the target. >> bill: we'll watch it. >> dana: a legal tussle breaking out in idaho quadruple murder trial. the defense team wants a surviving roommate to testify at kohberger's trial and she is

pushing back hard. >> bill: the suspect accused of attacking san francisco's former fire commissioner with a crowbar is due in court. the latest on this brutal case caught on camera coming up. >> we need him to come and testify and hope he shows up tomorrow pursuant to the subpoena issued. as a consequence of our inability to put in the hearing tomorrow, the court will have to release the defendant. fear not, i got you. choice hotels has a hotel for every type of stay. like a comfort with the kiddos. spacious! that's what they all say. stay twice and get a $50 gift card when you book direct at choicehotels.com. veteran homeowners, want to lower your monthly payments? pay off your high rate credit cards with an affordable home loan from newday usa and save hundreds of dollars every month.

>> dana: san francisco prosecutors moving ahead with charges against a homeless man accused of beating a former fire commissioner with a crowbar. the suspect due in court for a preliminary hearing today. we're live in san francisco with a legal twist in the case. claudia. >> dana, now that former fire

commissioner is being accused of provoking the attack. the public defender calls it a case of self-defense and wants all the charges against her client to be dropped. 24-year-old garrett dodi faces a number of felony counts of battery and assault from that april 5th attack. surveillance video released by them shows dodi swinging a metal pipe leaving the man with a fractured skull and other serious injuries. he said he was attacked after dodi and other homeless people camped near his mother's how to leave. yesterday the public defender released this video claiming the man had sprayed her client with bear mace as well as this video from 2021 which shows him dousing a homeless person with bear spray. the public defender says she believes the man could be responsible for at least eight

unsolved bear spray incidents on homeless people. >> the first thing that mr. dodi does when he realizes it is mr. the man coming at him ducks out of the way with his coat covering his head. implying he knows and has been subjected to the violence of the bear spray in prior instances. >> the district attorney says the case against dodi will proceed when the man shows up to testify today. he admitted he did have bear spray with him but accidentally sprayed himself. the question is, can his assailant claim self-defense when he clearly chased the man down the street and hit him viciously in the head with that metal pipe? today's preliminary hearing

begins in court in two hours. >> dana: thank you for bringing the story us to. >> bill: one of the surviving roommates in the idaho quadruple murder trial fighting a subpoena. they claim her testimony could clear the murder charges against kohberger. i think the pre-trial hearing is the end of june. nancy grace, let's inform our viewers on as reminders of what happened in that house. this roommate apparently was inside for about eight hours before the bodies -- police were called and the police were called by a friend of theirs who wasn't even there who came to the house around noon local time. they believe this woman has exclusive information about the alleged killer. should she be compelled or not, nancy?

>> absolutely not. there were two roommates living on what we believe to be the very bottom floor of the murder scene. the four beautiful university of idaho students were on the upper levels, as you can see there what you are showing. we understand that one room mat, mortensen, stepped out after hearing something upstairs she thought was a roommate playing with a dog and sees a white male dressed in dark clothing wearing a fast mask, she doesn't understand what's going on and goes back to bed. the other roommate who slept through the whole thing is the focus of what we're talking about right now. 21-year-old bethany funk. she may have slept through it or seen something, may have heard something, we don't know. why don't we know? her police report and interview is sealed. now, if you look at the filings

by this defense attorney, it is nothing more than a stunt. a stunt that is terrorizeing a survivor of this brutal slaying. in fact, in motions like these it is called domesty indication of an out of state subpoena you have to state why the witness is material and travel all the way nearly 700 miles back to moscow, idaho to testify for the man the state believes killed her roommates. they say she may have information. that's not enough. this is a stunt by the defense. >> bill: important distinction. i was assuming she was the one who did encounter him at 4:00 in the morning. but she wasn't. >> exactly. >> bill: here is what the affidavit said. bethany funk was present at the home eight hours later when police were called. arrived on scene, discovered the homicide. during the course of my investigation it became known

that bethany funk has information material to the charges against mr. kohberger. portions of information she has in exculpatory to the defendant. her information is unique to her experiences and cannot be provided by another witness. would a judge accept her rationale and not force her to testify? at least at the pre-trial hearing. do you think that will happen? >> i do not believe a judge is going to enforce the subpoena and i'll tell you why. this is a present limb. nobody expects the defense to put up a defense. the state will put up as few witnesses as possible. it is just enough evidence to decide whether there is a question of fact for a jury. clearly the subpoena was going to fail because -- in this motion the defense file they can't even spell the survivor's name correctly.

they miss all the legal hurdles you have to reach to get a witness to come from out of state for a jury trial. but i've got news for you, in the last hour there has been a hail mary and somehow brian kohberger's defense has got this young girl who likely saw all of her friends murdered bodies to agree, we hear, to a sit-down interview in her home in reno. not travel back to idaho. not be put on a witness stand but to have an interview. now, i would advise her if you are listening to have a lawyer in your appearance with you as well as the prosecutor during this interview if it indeed happens. >> bill: nice to see you. see what happens when it comes to that. preliminary hearing the end of june could go 3 to 5 days and learn a lot during that period. we'll talk soon. thank you. >> thank you, goodbye. >> dana: white house announcing

skills and talents. he was a lawyer from brooklyn, new york, loved the yankees and springsteen and the beatles. he with a sing beatles songs. a man of the people. one thing he did that was very clever, he had a pulse on people in a way that very few people have. and he was hired as a news anchor. never done it before. they were fourth in the market behind reruns of mash on another station and he took them to number one. he did it by at the end of his broadcast to a two-minute come unitary on the issue of the day and concluded it with the phrase take care of yourself and each other. then he would say good night and his signature would go across the screen. jerry springer was a legend and in so many ways. some people thought he was controversial because of the way he carried on his talk show.

i know him as a guy who would argue at the age of social security at age 19. i'm making nine grand a year i need something toward the end. jerry springer rest in peace. for now you take care of yourself and each other. okay. 31 past the hour. thank you for that. the u.s. and south korea announced a new agreement. it calls for the u.s. to deploy a nuclear armed submarine in south korea for the first time since 1981. president biden hailing the iron clad alliance between the two countries when he said this yesterday. >> president biden: the bottom line here is there is closer cooperation, closer consultation, and we're not going to be stationing nuclear weapons on the peninsula but we will have visits of nuclear submarines and things like that. we aren't walking away from that.

>> bill: michael allen, welcome to new york. what did you think of the approach and how concerned should we be, status is what? >> it's a good announcement. we need to do all we can to deter the north koreans. they have 9 to 12 nuclear weapons. an acknowledgement of a united states failure over suss cessful presidential administrations that we can't reverse the north korean nuclear program. they have created so many bombs and so far down the field and mastered, of course, ballistic missile technology to such a degree they ship it all over the world. we're down to good old-fashioned deterrence on behalf of the south koreanand others. >> dana: why this matters to us and our national security what would you say? >> asia is the economic hub of the world. so much of our trade, hundreds of billions of dollars runs

throughout the south china sea up towards the koreas. a free trade agreement with them. we want stability. we have been there since the 1950s. i think our presence guarantees the peace. when america isn't present, wars and instability break out. i think that's our interest is chiefly economic. >> bill: who is helping kim jong unthese days. >> relationships with the iranians and chinese. the chinese used to help us with them. now they see them as a useful foil for the united states. something to distract america from what is the real problem in asia, which is china going to invade taiwan and then really undermine our position in asia and undermine the global economy. >> dana: the chinese trying to medal in russia's war with ukraine. what are they trying to do

there? >> they want to be a global power. this is their way of saying listen, i don't want to just hear the world say what does washington think. they want the world to say what does beijing play in they can be a player to broker peace it suits their goals as a geopolitical rival of the united states. i don't think it will work. i don't think the ukrainians will trust them and they are sort of the russians are their little brother so that's not going to -- >> bill: if they could bring about a peace we would support that. >> if it's good with the ukrainians would be for it. we are about to begin, the ukrainians are, the spring offensive. a lot riding on it. we have to see ukrainian support. for american support to be sustained we want to see the ukrainians win. >> dana: when the leaker from the discord chat group showed that the ukrainians don't have enough of what they need and the position is weaker than our

government perhaps was saying to us, has that changed in the last few weeks? >> it is really hard to say. we have been shipping armor and tanks and thousands have been through training elsewhere. i think they are a good fighting force and succeed in the coming offensive. yeah, the leaks i think were a little surprising. i didn't like moving to hear and having the russians be able to see the united states thinks the air defenses in ukraine are weaker than everyone expected. there is some things for them to worry about. >> bill: when we wake up every other day and see north korea launched another rocket test in the sea of japan. is that coming from china or iran? >> i think -- first of all, the nuclear -- the weaponry, the missile technology has come from iran in their partnership with north korea. another reason while we need missile defense the united

states needs to invest in that. they can range to california across the pacific ocean. >> bill: thank you for scaring us. >> dana: around the world. michael allen, great to see you. thank you. students struggling, grade pummeling and parents desperate for help. what's the solution to get the schools back on track. freddie mercury's collection up for sale. they're on the docket. if you want it all, you have to pay a big price. ♪ i want it all, i want it now ♪ i brought in ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uh... here i'll take that. ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar and nutrients for immune health. ♪ veteran homeowners, want to

>> dana: more trouble on the runway. two planes collide at an airport. parts and debris were seen on the ground. no injuries were reported and minor damage to the planes. >> bill: yes indeed. this from your classroom. education is likely to be a big issue in next year's election as schools struggle to recover the learning caused by the pandemic. instead of focusing on higher

standards, dozens districts have made changes. lydia hu has the answer from fox business with more on this. good morning. what are you finding out how it works out? >> a lot of reason to be concerned. right now we don't have international educational rankings since the pandemic because that testing has been paused. but what we do know from before the pandemic is that the u.s. ranked 11th in the world for literacy, 31st in the world for math. we were behind countries like china and russia. china came in first in both categories. since the pandemic we do have national assessments for the u.s. and in some cases those assessment shows the steepest losses in learning in more than 30 years. math scores for fourth and eighth grades slipping by 3% according to government data. that's the toll of keeping our kids at home. now that students are back in the classroom, troubling many

parents is the growing transition to something called equitable grading system. equitable grading eliminates the 100 point grade and does not penalize for late work or missed assignments. students can retake tests and redo assessments. there are no deadlines. between the "wall street journal" and our own reporting on this topic we found dozens of districts across the country adopting or trying out equitable grading from arizona to nevada, california to iowa. proponents say it is way to help kids with after school responsibility like caring for siblings or outside jobs. critics including parents say this approach robs our kids of education. i talked with one mom of three with kids in school in arlington, virginia. a district trying out equitable grading. watch. >> school is also about accountability and teaching responsibility and executive function to these developing minds. so these things are important for developing children.

teaching them deadlines and how to work in groups, teaching them accountability. >> i did reach out to arlington public schools and didn't hear back. her concern is that instead of encouraging kids to strive for excellence we're lowering the bar to make it seems like everyone is excelling. >> bill: you have to give folks boundaries. >> dana: it doesn't help you with the real world. you can't turn in your homework late here at fox news. that won't keep your job. >> it was a concern raised by a teacher. >> dana: agree 100%. >> bill: a plus. >> dana: transgender runner beats out thousands of women at the london marathon. frank was competing in the men's competitions around the world as glen months before running in the women's race on sunday. female athletes are voicing their frustration. this is what frank had to say. >> this will be 17 and i'm doing

it -- [inaudible] >> dana: two time olympian runner has had enough. thank you for being here. you know, you say it is unfair. let me let you make your case. >> it's absolutely unfair. males run an average 10% faster than females. this is at the lower end in punch power about 162%. in jumping it's between 25 and 30%. so the category must be for females at birth only. frank are welcome in the london marathon but compete in the male category. i want to point out that glen as he calls him a man ran the tokyo marathon in the female category.

ran the new york marathon last november in the male category. >> dana: one of the things you are frustrated with. you want everybody to stick up for women and girls sports because you talk about the training that you went through and not only are you robbed of a possible win, but you are also now starting to see scholarship money and sponsorship money not going to actual women who have taken all these risks, gotten up early in the morning, done all of this in order to try to win. >> yes. to give you an example. in 2009 when i was still competing in the marathon at' let level i was ranked second in the world in women's road running. in that year alone, more than -- at least 1,300 men ran faster than me. if we didn't have the female category for females only i would be a complete nobody. every female would be a complete

nobody. we wouldn't have females in sport. that's why the male and female categories exist. yes, we have to be inclusive, but categories exist for a reason, which is so that females, children, master athletes and people with disabilities and lighter males in some sports can compete fairly and take part fully in sport. >> dana: martina navalny said this said. once somebody has gone through male puber tee there is no way to erase that physical advantage. i can't just try to lower testosterone levels. most retired female athletes have chosen not to probably because there will be backlash against you for coming out and saying that. have you experienced that yet? >> yes. i was looking before this interview online about criticism of me. i've been called a trans phobe.

people are saying for god sake are you fussing over this? he was way down in the field. nearly 14,000 women in the female category suffered a worse finishing position because of his presence in the female category. women's sport doesn't only matter on the podium. the achievements of female athletes at all levels, all ages matters. and males do not belong in the female category. i've been in touch with a female masters runner rarely gets on podiums but on the phone to quitting the support because she has to repeatedly compete against males who say they're women. so the females at birth only.

males don't belong in the female category under any circumstances. >> dana: your voice matters. it is big concern that women will decide to drop out of the sport or not try at all if this isn't resolved. we'll stay in touch. >> thank you. >> bill: she would know, right? the riches of rock-n-roll royalty are up for sale. a friend of the late singer freddie mercury auctioning off his exquisite clutter. 1500 items from costumes and handwritten lyrics and mustache comb from tiffany. >> dana: do they have a mustache comb at tiffany's? >> if you are a friend of him. he had works by picasso and others. >> dana: that's not clutter. american truckers joining the
