>> they'll go for eight hours this weekend. good job. thank you for joining us. join me on radio. >> we'll be on the brian, don't miss it. catch it. >> i'm paying attention to the show. we have five seconds left. >> bill: no one drafted there. good morning, everybody. mental acuity in question. the white house trying its best to convince americans the president is fit to serve. he is not doing them any favor. shannon is back, hello to you, my lady. >> shannon: great to see you. should we run some of those football drills? >> bill: they need some work. >> shannon: i'm shannon bream. this is "america's newsroom." president biden's announcement.

he is running for re-election at 80 years old and reigniting criticism with his age. a string of missteps is raising concerns. >> bill: at the white house it celebrated bring your child to workday. the president talked to a group of kids when one of them asked him what seemed to be a pretty simple question and the president then drew a blank. >> what was the last country you traveled to? >> president biden: the last country i traveled. what was the last one i was in? i've been to 89 -- met with 89 heads of state so far. so i'm trying to think where was the last place i was? it's hard to keep track. i was -- you are right, ireland. that's where it was. how did you know that? >> shannon: if they make the argument that he is ready to roll after the president was caught relying on cheat sheets

during his first news conference in more than the month. the white house said it is entirely normal. >> bill: republicans beg to differ. democrats dismissing the criticism saying the president's record speaks for itself. >> it doesn't matter what your age is. what matters is what you can get done for working families across the united states and i'm confident that joe biden as a result of his record will win. >> i think his schedule reflects an active person mentally and physically engaging with the american people on a regular basis. >> in part it matters who the opponent is. he will take questions and he will go out there. there will be three presidential debates. they will have at it in front of the national world and he will have to deal with this. >> shannon: ro khanna is here to react. we begin at lucas tomlinson at the white house. >> we have our first reaction from the briefing room to the president's cheat sheet. here is jacque heinrich.

>> can you explain how that ended up there and why the president needed something like that? >> it is entirely normal for a president to be briefed on reporters who will be asking questions at a press conference and issues that we expect they might ask about. >> a new fox news poll shows president biden's approval rating has plummeted and remains underwater for a year. some democrats want to see someone else run in 2024. one in three. the fox news poll shows 28% of democrats want kennedy junior or williamson to be the next president. >> it's whacked the dnc won't do primaries. do a primary debate. put joe biden on the stage with bobby kennedy and marianne williamson and whoever steps up to the plate and let's have a discussion. >> president biden's press secretary took questions from

the kids at the white house. 8-year-old riley, the son of edward lawrence. >> i'm riley. do you think the president will ever make -- >> i hope not. i hope not. so look, we're in a different place than we were as you guys all know. >> i'm biased on this one but thought it was a great question. there won't be a white house press briefing today. >> dana: hats off to riley. thank you so much. >> bill: a few things to talk about with a member of the progressive caucus ro khanna, democrat from california. thank you for coming back today. nice to see you. gallup had joe biden on inauguration day at 57%. yesterday gallup had joe biden at 37%. that's down 20 points in two years. not the kind of data point you

want, is it? >> country has been through difficult times. no one will deny that. we had covid, we had small businesses shut down because of public health measures. we have had inflation. but my argument is that president biden is bringing manufacturing back, is more focused on the working class and will have a better economic vision than the republicans to improve people's lives. there is no denying it has been a hard couple years for the american people. >> bill: you may think that. a ca doesn't -- we asked whether or not americans were satisfied. 70% said they are dissatisfied, congressman. >> as you know, elections are always a choice. the question is what is president biden's vision, what are the republicans putting? president biden is for increasing social security. president biden is for making sure manufacturing comes back to america. president biden is for protecting unions and increasing working wages. the republican plans are for

cutting spending, for tax cuts for the wealthy and i think that's what the election will come down to. >> bill: you know republicans voted to raise the debt limit this week. would you encourage to president to sit down with kevin mccarthy? time, isn't it? >> sure. here is the thing, bill. look, when families have credit card debt they pay the debt. they first pay the bill. i don't know any family that says let's not pay the credit card debt. after we pay the bill and debt then we can discuss how we reduce the deficit. >> bill: sir, you know they have committed to raising the debt limit. so you know they are committed to paying the bills. that's a false argument. >> no, they are holding it hostage like a family saying we'll only pay our credit card bill if you agree, family member x, to cut this spending. let's pay the bill. we've already incurred these expenses. this is patriotic to pay our bills. >> bill: as you know -- you know

that's where the negligent achess should begin. >> you saw the question and answer from the white house yesterday about the last country the president visited. he was in ireland a few days ago. how do you interpret the response and the back and forth you just watched there? >> i think the president should want everyone to see how he was treated in ireland. he was a rock star there. i hope people google it and see what respect he had. here is the point, bill. age will be a factor in the election. the president is open about it and he will take questions and show it to the american people. i this i the republicans will make a huge mistake if they make it about joe biden. elections aren't about the candidates but about the american people. joe biden will talk about how to help working class families and bring back manufacturing and increase wages, reduce childcare

healthcare costs. >> bill: maybe if he gets the questions first. we were showing on screen a tight shot of the question that was in his hand the other day on the south lawn of the white house rather in the rose garden during the press conference. we wanted to find out from americans whether or not he should answer more questions. here is what we found. a stunning number again. 76% of americans, when asked, he should hold more press conferences. that hasn't happened. as you move into the re-election that you have come back to several times. he is an incumbent. do you believe he should be debates with other democratic challengers? >> yes, i do. i am a person of democracy. i think he is really good. i think his staff overprotects him. put him out there in a press conference. who cares is someone makes a gaffe? everyone does in conversations. let's see the authentic president biden. he is an empathetic person and the more he is out there, the better. do the press conferences and the

debates. i debate people in congress even though they don't have sometimes much of a chance. that's american democracy. i love that. >> bill: thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> bill: we'll continue the conversation. that a deal ro khanna from california? >> i always enjoy it. >> bill: thank you. >> shannon: fox news alert. the army says at least three soldiers are dead after a crash involving two army helicopters in alaska. it happened yesterday near healey, alaska, 250 miles north of anchorage. the ah64 apaches were returning from a training flight when they collided. the cause is under investigation. the second recent accident involving military helicopters in that state. >> it is really cruel, it is extreme and not workable. i think it isn't just democrats saying that. even republicans have said that about that plan because it shuts down -- it essentially shuts

down asylum and strips protection from unaccompanied children. zmr interesting to see how this works outs. 13 days away the border rules change. progressive congresswoman jayapal slamming the new border security package unveiled by house republicans two weeks before title 42 ends. the proposal would impose sweeping restrictions on asylum seekers. chad pergram has the ideas and the counter point live on the hill. good morning. >> gop members hope they can george consensus to approve a border package next month. finding the votes to pass legislation is elusive in the narrowly divided house. >> american people realize joe biden is doing a horrible job on the border. i think there is an opportunity for us to bring up a package to help secure the border and protect people. a closed border is a compassionate border. what is happening to children

and fentanyl >> it requires those seeking asylum to do so at a point of entry and resumes construction of the border wall. a texas democrat represents a border districts and sometimes sides with the gop on issues. he endorses a comprehensive plan. >> if we are going to build walls just to build walls and not really have policy that prevents people from coming it will make no difference. i have migrants coming to my southern border actually going to where the wall is. waving at the camera and telling the border patrol to get me. it has no impact without real border policy. >> bill: some democrats believe republicans are trying to focus attention on the border because they struggle with other issues. >> as other issues fade and they try to recover from the wrong decisions they've made around the issue of choice, and women's

reproductive rights around other issues about democracy and other things, and other important things to the american people, this is a recovery strategy. it is a playbook at least i've seen six elections in a row. >> the house debates these bills as title 42 expires in may. after so many trips to the border by the gop there is pressure for action. >> bill: may 11, we're watching. nice to see you, chad, from washington. shannon. >> shannon: a dangerous storm bearing down on florida. one tornado confirmed. where is that system headed next? >> bill: proposed abortion bans falling short in two red states. what it might mean for the larger debate poised to have a big influence on next year's election. >> shannon: ron desantis spotted with former president trump's biggest donor. details on that dinner.

wind and rain. not over yet. forecasters saying the storm is still on the move heading north. a rainy weekend in the northeast. it is already raining in washington, d.c. making shannon very happy. >> shannon: coming today in d.c. a fugitive on the run behind bars after being captured in texas. following a jail houses cape by f four convicts in mississippi. the manhunt is not over yet. two others on the loose. one dying with police in a house. >> four prisoners broke out through the roof of a detention center in mississippi on saturday night. right now there are two still on the run. police grabbed one of them, jerry reins, yesterday in texas after five days. he is alive and we expect to see him in court later this morning. not the case for dylan arrington, he was in jail for car theft and wound up dead

states, nebraska and south carolina keeping the procedure legal until 22 weeks of pregnancy. washington state governor jay inslee signing a bunch of bills strengthening laws that support abortion. >> we are here to proclaim very vocally and forcefully that we will not allow any state or any trump-appointed judge to jeopardize a woman's right of choice in the state of washington. we know unfortunately there are states across the country that are and will be attempting to put its tentacles into the state of washington. >> bill: vermont passed bills aimed at protecting access to abortion pills. shannon, we clearly know a year and a half out it will be a big deal. when nikki haley was governor in south carolina her law was 20 weeks. this said 22 from yesterday. our fox polling access to

medication abortion we asked earlier in the week legal 65%, illegal 30%. as we talk about that in nebraska and south carolina and you cover the courts, there is a case before them on what do they decide and when do they decide? >> shannon: the medicated abortions are more than half of abortions in the country. the legal fight whether one of the drugs in the protocol will remain legal and stay on the market is fought out. the supreme court court says it stays on the market while the case is looking at it in the lower courts. it could end up back before the supreme court by the end of the year and because it is such a hotly contested issue. states that are outlawing abortions that are procedures, are the pills still going to be legal in those states? all eyes on the supreme court again on another tough issue. >> bill: i would add. fascinating to see how each state is handling it and it will be a question for all the

candidates, democratic and republican going forward during this election season. on ward we move to that topic and more. >> shannon: is ron desantis searching for campaign cash? the florida governor kind with major republican donors in israel last night. this woman's late husband was trump's top financial backer in 2020. think about crooked ill re. now it's crooked joe. >> i will be retiring the name crooked from hillary clinton and i am going to retire the name crooked so that we can use the name for joe biden because he'll be known from now on as crooked joe biden. >> shannon: he is creative with the nicknames. he feels like this recycle is a

on american soil before a nonprofit entity called safeguard defenders released a public report identifying over 100 of these police stations around the world? and the second is after we have discovered this one in the heart of manhattan are there other illegal police stations on american soil and what is the f.b.i. doing about that? we had a briefing with the select committee on china. they couldn't answer the questions. we were very disappointed. i'm glad we have arrested two agents in connection with the manhattan illegal police station but we need to do more. we need to know how the f.b.i. is combating this phenomenon of trans national oppression and affront to american sovereignty. >> bill: how did we find out about it? >> through the work of safeguard defenders and went to the site of the police station and held a rally. the first event we did in a

bipartisan fashion on the select committee on china. i was shocked to find out how extensive this is. not just in america. there has been multiple incidents in the u.k. across europe and something happening on american campuses where chinese students, taiwanese students find themselves surveilled, harassed and some cases physically assaulted by members of inoctoberous sounding nonprofits like the nonprofit chinese student scholarship association. we need to force the f.b.i. to take it more seriously, to act more aggressively. we need to push back on this affront to american sovereignty. we can't allow america to be a hunting ground for dictators, but a haven from persecution. >> shannon: you've given the bureau of deadline of may ten to get you answers. what happens if you don't get them? you've been pressing. >> we're more than happy to call the f.b.i. director to testify if that's what it takes. i'm hoping we can have a closed

door classified briefing before that. but again my constituents are outraged by this. i think my members on the committee, their constituents want answers. it shouldn't be allowed to happy. it's crazy something like this is happening on american soil. >> bill: other thing that came out of the briefing. the next sound bite america has to step on the gas. here he is talking about the chinese cyber threat. listen to what he says on the numbers here. >> the scale of the chinese cyber threat is unparalleled. to give you a sense what we're up against. if each one of the f.b.i.'s cyber agents and intel analysts focused exclusively on the china threat, on nothing but china. chinese hackers would still outnumber f.b.i. cyber personnel by at least 50 to 1. >> bill: what that answers says is that we can't catch up. what did you think of that? >> well, i think we need to

leverage our unique strengths. i agree on the scope of the threat and glad he talked about it in clear and direct language. that was the major finding on the commission that china is our bigger threat in cyberspace. in the meaningful sense the invasion of taiwan has already begun in cyberspace and the attacks on their critical infrastructure are enormous. the threat to our critical infrastructure is enormous. where we can outperform them is leveraging public/private partnership. the strength of our system we don't have a government that controls everything. by harnessing the creativity and talent in the private sector and getting them to work with the government, that's how we can beat the chinese in cyberspace. >> bill: more to come on this. >> shannon: this is far from over. we would love to hear back if you get answers. >> bill: from idaho the parents of that murdered idaho student

at the university of idaho seven days before ethan and the three other college students were killed last november. ethan's mom says getting through the upcoming mother's day will be very tough as she continues to mourn the tragic loss of her son. >> one day i was out walking by myself. i was crying so hard. i just -- it is just whatever and i happened upon somebody and i thought they were going to call 911 on me. i was like it's okay. just having a moment. >> the defense attorneys for the accused killer are now set the interview bethany funk. the defense attorneys wanted her to attend the june preliminary hearing. instead she has agreed to meet with the lawyers in reno, nevada

distinct lack of women defending women in the public square on issues like this. that isn't the case in every other country. for instance, in my own country, britain, there have been very prominent women not just in sports but across the political and social platforms who have objected to precisely this. so when someone like britteny griner says i will fight for men to play in women's sports its a blow against lots of young female athletes. >> bill: she said she thinks it's a crime. >> all i can think is she is overstating it for some other sort of purpose. tread back even a few years. wouldn't it be ridiculous if you said it is basically a crime for a biological male with huge shoulders, for instance, to compete against women and be allowed to beat them in the swimming pool or boxing ring? it is absurd.

it's an overstatement that's only coming about because there has been so much push an idea that biological men and women are interchangeable. >> bill: there is a clip of a volleyball game where a transgender male playing with women spikes the ball and it hits this woman in the face and she just goes down. maybe you need one of these moments in a boxing ring or some sort of physical contact and you see that. >> we've already had that. one of the things that joe rogan that made him wake up he is an mma fighter. when joe saw biological males transitioning to female beating the hell out of biological females in the ring, he started to think what are we doing here?

why are we cheering this on? >> bill: you mention women are not speaking out about this. there are some women. yesterday we had a two-time olympian on the show. then i'll tell you what others are saying. >> people are saying for god's sake why are you fussing over this? nearly 14,000 women in the female category suffered a worse finishing position because of his presence. it 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. >> bill: that's one. here is martina. she claims -- you have her speaking out saying we don't need to explain it to you over and over. stop explaining feminism to feminists. >> she is the real trailblazer

in her own career, of course. i just wish there were more cases of this. all the time as we see in the britteny griner example. all the time the rhetoric is being ramped up by this pro-trans lobby, we saw yesterday whoopi goldberg claiming the bible shows that transgender people should be given gender reaffirming care. that is a major celebrity in this country making a flat out false claim that god created man and woman and also sometimes you got the wrong parts and you should have surgery only in a test stage at the moment and do that. this is deranging nonsense. >> bill: it is not going away. we'll see where it goes. good to have you on today. thank you. shannon. >> shannon: south korea president bringing down the cloud he sang american pie following the rendition by three broadway stars and he stole the

>> president biden: let's have a conversation how to grow the economy, lower costs and reduce the deficit. i just laid out the bulk of my budget. republicans in congress should do the same thing. take default off the table and let's have a real serious detailed conversation about how to grow the economy, lower costs and reduce the deficit. i can't imagine anyone ever thinking of using the debt ceiling as a negotiating wedge. >> shannon: flip-flopping from president biden on debt ceiling talks facing mounting pressure from his own party to start negotiating with republicans in a high-stakes stand-off. let's bring in americans for tax reform president. we've seen the back and forth. kevin mccarthy, the speaker, got this thing to the table. interesting, though the editorial in the "wall street journal" says this. he is playing chicken with

default. these are actually the headlines. "washington post" says it's time for biden to call mccarthy. "new york post." the ball is in biden's court now. time to act on the debt limit. part of the editorial says a lot of the media will be complicit with him and get blamed no matter what. >> the media will. at the end of the day the republicans have a plan out there. biden's plan is at a time when growth is slowing, when inflation is 3 to 4 times higher than when he walked in the door because of his spending. his plan is massive more spending and to raise the tax on capital gains to twice china's to make us uncompetitive with china. his policy isn't pro growth. he wants to take corporate income tax back to where it used to be higher than china's making us uncompetitive. our personal income taxes back to before 1986. that's how high he is taking the personal income taxes. he is doing all the things that

are uncompetitive that would -- that have damaged our economy in the past. he wants to put those back with more spending and they are hiring i.r.s. agents in 50 states to carry guns. >> shannon: it sounds like these two sides are so far apart. conservatives point out all the things they say will be negative for the average american. you have the white house and the spokesperson over there saying it is a maga hostage note that they are going to kill hundreds of thousands of jobs. they'll hurt veterans and you know they talk about medicare and social security. republicans will blow that stuff up and people vote based on those fears. >> the republicans have to keep repeating what their plan actually does. it has a work requirement for welfare. that will bring people back in the workforce and reduce unemployment. takes some of the overspending that was so much overspending that hasn't been spent yet. covid spending from two years ago and say we won't spend that. those are the kind of very reasonable reductions in

overspending that biden should have thought of. >> shannon: when you have this conversation about the work requirement that sounds to be a no go with most democrat out there. talking with congresswoman debbie dingle about this last week. they'll say there are all kinds of problems for people getting into the workforce with childcare costs and all kinds of things. there are reasons people can't go back and to pull away those government benefits is a cruel move by republicans. that's the way they'll portray it. >> the other way is to hand people the kind of benefits they were sending out anyway whether you worked or not has hake en some people out of the workforce. as those have come down somewhat people have begun to come back. overspending leads people to stay out of the workforce. and we know that every time unemployment benefits end, people come back to work. >> shannon: we have 10 million job openings. there are some that need to be filled. let's look at gdp. new numbers out. the first quarter here 1.1% growth. fourth quarter 2.6, third

quarter 3.2. there are articles out there like this one from axios saying the gdp has silver lining. it's not all bad news. >> if you add it all up it's very bad. if you take certain pieces and forget other pieces and only look -- it's kind of silly. >> shannon: what do you make of this number? we've been told the economy is righting itself and we'll avoid a recession. >> they have been bringing the interest rates up and inflation, which is down from as high as it has been with biden is still 3 to 4 times higher than when he walked in the door. inflation is bad. every day the dollars in your pocket are less valuable every day that biden has been president and it continues to get worse. >> shannon: the white house will have to deal with these numbers, which the public does not have confidence with them on the economy. thank you for your time. >> good to be with you. >> bill: it is now 10:00 here in new york. fox news
