driveway with handgun in hand. >> christina: witnesses daniel enrique lazo. police believe all victims are from honduras. the foreign minister of that count i is in contact with texas authorities. on twitter he released statement, quote, we demand that the full weight of the law be applied against those responsible for this crime. now texas authorities believe the only suspect in this case is francisco oropeza. they said he could be anywhere by now. they searched for him in wooded area in crime scene in cleveland, texas but only found home and abandoned cell phone. >> we are still out there trying to find this individual. we consider him armed and dangerous and we are not going to stop until we actually arrest him and bring him into custody but he's out there and he's a threat to the community. i don't want anybody to think that he's different than that. he's a threat to the community.

christina: again, manhunt underway to track down the suspect. a judge has assigned 5 million-dollar bond for when he's taken into custody. mike: christina coleman, starting us off, many thanks. president biden attending the white house correspondence dinner. america has concerns following 2024 candidacy announcement. lucas tomlinson live on the north lawn of the white house with more. hello, lucas. lucas: mike, i wasn't going to mention the nerd prom but i'm glad that you did. president biden poking fun at himself, advanced age and low poll numbers. >> look, y'all keep recording my approval rating at 42%, but i think you don't know this, kevin mccarthy and asked me, joe, what

the hell is your secret. >> recent fox news poll shows biden does not have the support from nearly one in three in his own party. rfk, jr. making news yesterday saying he's against biological males participating in women's sports. this position is in odds with the white house position. senator chris van holland says he's not concerned about the president's age. >> i think people should judge presidents on performance and record and not on their age and the president has a great record, i talked about some of the economic factors. he's also been one of the most productive presidents in recent histories when it comes to legislative record. lucas: biden spoke dais after launching reelection campaign with this video which opens with images from january 6th, abortion protests and maga including a picture of former president trump and florida governor ron desantis. biden mentioned the word freedom six times in the 3-minute video. here is senator ted cruz about

the looming debt ceiling fight this morning on sunday morning futures. >> the republicans in the house are responsible and joe biden what is he saying, he's saying i, i will not talk, i will not negotiate, i will not give in on anything, anyhow, anyway and what is happening is joe biden is gambling. joe biden needs to stop playing roulette with the american economy. lucas: now president biden's legislative record will be tested because the republican controlled house passed the debt ceiling bill. it now goes to the senate but many democrats say it would be dead on arrival, mike. mike: thanks very much. federal regulators a racing to find a safer for first republic as the clock ticks on fdic for biddings on the bank.

first republic shares plummeted last week after revealing that deposits were down 40% in the first quarter. lawmakers such as congressman ro khanna are calling for a reform. >> there should be momentum for 3 things, one the clawbacks on the executives, that can be bipartisan. two for greater oversight and the rules on these banks. i mean, we basically told the banks not the regulate but the big place and i'm working on a bipartisan, protect regional banks and help mainstream america. that's the biggest risk to the economy. mike: concerns surrounding the global banking industry first emerged last month with the failure of silicon valley bank followed but demise of signature bank. the president's son set to appear in arkansas court tomorrow for a child support dispute regarding 4-year-old daughter with london roberts. cb cotton live with the details.

hello, cb. >> good afternoon, mike, we know all eyes will be on the arkansas courthouse for the hearing where embattled first son hunter biden is supposed to appeared. last fall when biden filed a motion to get his payments lowered, the saga picked back up once again. back in 2019 a dna showed with near scientific certainty that london roberts 4-year-old daughter is, indeed, hunter biden's, now london roberts is suing heroism lover. attorneys arguing if biden can afford multiple attorney he, quote, must have income for child support purposes. this week a judge denied a last-ditch effort by biden's legal team asking he be permitted to attend the hearing via phone or video conference. this child support dispute may allow us to learn more about biden's finances. he's been under federal investigation since at least 2018. we know u.s. attorney david wise

in delaware is looking into tax affairs, overseas business dealings and lying on federal form to purchase a gun. the justice department had headquarters on wednesday to get status on that investigation. house oversight committee chairman republican james comer who is leading another investigation into the biden family's business dealings had this critique about biden's paternity case, listen. >> the fact that hunter is in court in arkansas this next week arguing that he can't afford child support payments and we've seen millions and millions of dollars deposited into hunter biden's account says a lot about this family. >> and december london roberts say lawyers file today have name change to biden and called the request, political warfare and they want proof the name change would be in the child's best interest. a bench trial for hunter biden's petition to reduce child support amount and this request for

last-name change is scheduled for july but, again, mike, next steps for this case are set to unfold tomorrow. back to you. mike: cb cotton reporting live, cb, thanks a lot. for more on hunter biden's legal troubles let's bring in today's political panel, with me former white house official ashley davis as well as democratic strategist and arc initiative ceo dan cannon, welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> thanks, mike. mike: this is not so much the hunter biden controversy that lawmakers are digging into. how troubling is this for the white house, dan? >> i don't think the white house can or should answer questions. we are talking about a 4-year-old. we don't know what's in the interest for her and the family. it's not really appropriate discussion for this white house to engage in or frankly to congress tone gauge. this is a private family matter with a 4-year-old daughter, child that should be left in that venue. mike: to the broader hunter

biden issues, the latest fox poll has up to 44% thinking that hunter biden has done something illegal. ashley, how troubling is that for the president? >> i think it's troubling if the president has known and is involved in any way in some of his legal trouble but i do think most important about this entire story about the little girl is her mental health and i think that her being debated because this family won't take responsibility for her is probably the most detrimental part of the story. but i do have faith in chairman comer that they will get to the bottom of this and we have to remember that leaving her out of the story right now is fine for the democrats to say now but what happened when they were investigating trump for all those years and his family. mike: all right, so president biden has launched reelection campaign, texas senator ted cruz as you can imagine is not impressed. >> joe biden, you look at the little 3-minute video that he

did. it obviously had to be from a teleprompter because they couldn't trust him to stand in the crowd and speak. his message, he couldn't talk about any policy because the policy has been a mess. mike: dan, how does the president address concerns about his age? >> well, first of all, i disagree strongly with senator cruz. the policy is fantastic, economy with 12 million new jobs, lowest unemployment rate in 54 years, capping insulin it's a very strong record. the president will prove to the american people he's up for the job by campaigning and some ways campaigning while president is rigorous than being president. if he does that and does it well and effectively, he will show he's up for the job as he has been for the last four years, two and a half years, sorry. mike: while we are on the democratic side, john f. kennedy jr. has jumped into the race as

well. >> i'm against women who are participating in women's support who are biologically male. i watched it happened and i don't think that's fair. mike: ashley, is rfk, jr. wise to support biological women in this case? >> well, i think he actually is going to talk to many people in this country by supporting it but we were talking before we got on air, what does it mean that he's 19% of the vote and i'm not sure how much it's really going to matter in a democrat party. i think it would matter for if he would run as an independent because biden will probably still run the nomination. mike: we have seen independents in the past mess things up. 98% ross perrot. understood. let's look at the republican race, the latest numbers from the fox poll has president trump

at 53%, ron desantis at 21%, the rest in single digits. i'm reminded it is very early at this stage, in to be 16 it was jeb bush and scott walker being the hot candidates and that obviously didn't material, how w do you see the republican race so far? >> it could be that ron desantis becomes the jeb bush. i worked for barack obama in this time in 2007-2008, he was floundering and he found his voice and frame later on. desantis certainly could still do that. at the end of the day i have a hard time se seeing this republn electorate breaking from trump. it's not going to happen with the kind of performance desantis right now. i wouldn't bet against the rematch. mike: as republican onset, how do you see the republican race at this stage? >> well, do i think as well that we have a long way to go,

however, the most concern that desantis should have is major donors have been leaving him going to pause or going to other people already. but it will be interesting to see what happens if there's another indictment in georgia in june for president trump if that makes him more popular or less popular and when the debates start in august by fox news i think it will show some of the other candidates like nikki haley, tim scott, chris christie, let's continue to name them to see what is really going to happen with the primary. i think there's a long way to go and i think that there's a few candidates that have been just staying on message and doing the hard work in iowa, new jersey and south carolina to hopefully win. mike: we know president trump is a street fighter. strikes me that the former governor of new jersey chris christie could be a fighter as well. we saw him go after marco rubio in 2016 and took him down pretty effectively. does somebody need to go directly at the former to move the needle?

>> they could but they have all tried this before. chrisie has been anti-trump guy and bent the knee for trump. they all have at various points. at the end of the day, the electorate understands that much. i think it's in his hands to secure the nomination. we will see and there's lots of candidates out there. i frankly tim scott is auditionings for vp, the rhetoric he's throwing to be a baptist minister type in iowa i think is designed to show trump that he could be a really strong wing man for him but i just don't know how guys like christie who have been anti-trump and bent the knee again and go back to anti-trump have any credibility with that electorate. >> or people are tire offed the electorate. there are a lot of people, many people say there's 25% are definitely for trump or desantis or that type of electorate but there's a lot of people who haven't made decisions yet and

the more that mud is thrown at people, i mean, defending on who you are talking to i don't know if that's as interesting as it used to be. mike: ashley davis and dan kanninen, thank you so much. exclusive interviews with republican national committee chair ronna mcdaniel as well as chris van holland, that's coming right after the show. stay tuned. the army taking drastic measures the army taking drastic measures to improve safety after string of deadly crashes. we will have more of that after the break. ♪ ♪ ♪

mike: the army is now identifying the 3 soldiers killed in helicopter crash over alaska earlier this week, marking the latest in the series of crashes that have left a dozen soldiers dead ultimately prompting the army to ground all noncritical aviators until further safety training is completed. for more on the army standdown orders joining me live in studio former u.s. ambassador to iraq and turkey and former deputy national security adviser james jeffrey. mr. ambassador, welcome. >> thank you very much for having me on, mike. mike we had lieutenant general keith kellogg talk activuation issues, let's play it and i will get you to react, sir.

>> go back who is running the ararmy aviator. he's seeing something that concerns him. mike: earlier in your career you spent a lot of precious time in the united states army, your thoughts on the aviation issues? >> i'm not a distinguished a soldier as keith, friend of mine but i will say both of the last two incidents causing death of 12 americans who we all owe debt of gratitude, these were both in air crashes and that indicates lack of training or sop's, it's in the a mechanical problem as far as we know. we have to wait for the investigation. i think the army is doing exactly the right thing standing down but emergency operations until they can get to the bottom of this. mike: deadly crash in alaska in remote area, it seems to me that when young people sign up to

wear the uniform, they realize that they may be sent to deploy where they could potentially lose their lives but when it happens in training incidents, that has to be particularly difficult for families to deal with. >> it is terrible but the only way you can succeed in combat from a bit of experience is to train extremely hard. there's no way you can train hard without being exposed to danger, this is exactly what the folks are doing. mike: okay, does army brass and pentagon leadership really need to get a handle on this issue to reassure the army family and the broader military family that army aviation is safe? >> they are going to have to do something about this because, again, two collisions is too many. this is something that should be prevented. other things is the nature of kind of weather, kind of terrain and kind of machinery that you are using but this one can be

fixed and i'm pretty confident that that will get to the bottom of it. the goal was 60,000 recruits, the result was 45,000 recruits. 25% below the goal number. this year they raised recruitment goal to 65,000 recruits. what do you make to have challenge of getting young men and women to sign up for the united states army as you did back in the day? >> i was fo in the army during draft to volunteer draft. the problem is we have a hot economy in terms of labor right now and unemployment is historically low and that means the military has to compete. it is as we just saw with the helicopter crashes a dangerous business in very difficult places up in alaska, overseas in, in the middle east and

nobody everybody is cut out for that plus we have medical and physical problems with many of today's youth. the army like the other services have high standards. mike: some people i have spoken with blame woke policies, being a little too left politically. do you think that is part of the problem in terms of getting young men and women from the middle of the country to sign up for the united states army? >> i have a lot of problems with what you determined to be woke politics. i don't think it's a major issue but people will point to it. i think that overall it's the labor market right now and the high requirements to have military. mike: someone who wore the uniform as a young man, people watching, what did you get from service and why should young people consider service? >> first of all, your country needs it. today as then during the cold war we are facing a global challenge from russia, china, regionally from north korea and

iran and the basis of our whole freedom, our whole economy, our trade, our partners, the entire global system that we benefit from fends on us maintaining collective security with our friends and partners, not alone. but everybody and i've heard this many times in with you out with you. they want to see american troops on the ground with everybody else and that's what these guys do and these girls do. mike: ambassador, james jeffrey, grateful for your lifetime of service, thank you very much for your time today. >> thank you. mike: new studies revealing that many are hiding for not losing wings. charles: good afternoon, mike. troubling trend one where researchers say that pilots are ignoring health particularly mental health symptoms because they are terrified of losing ability to fly. we spoke to multiple sources in

the aviation industry that said one factor that may be contributing for politics hesitant is faa regulation. >> the regulation does nothing more than drive pilots under ground, safety is a concern because we have pilots who are self-medicating or not medicating at all. charles: according to multiple studies as many as 78% of pilots avoid help or lie about their mental health altogether because they want to keep their arrow medical certificate in good standing. the certificate is issued by the faa medical aviation and faa medical examiner known as am&e and without their approval pilots cannot fly. once a pilot loses wings for years. we spoke to an am&e says the faa is due credit in the progress it has made over recent years but

that one big issue -- but the one big issue now is misinformation and the stigma around getting help. listen. >> many pilots don't know that you can see a therapist and still fly. many pilots don't know that you can still fly. we all stand to gain by helping this unique population meet their healthcare needs. charles: yeah, mike, faa tells fox news that it encourages pilots to seek help. the agency also says that over the last few years it's invested resources to eliminate the stigma around mental health and the aviation community so pilots feel comfortable getting treatment, mike. mike: charles watson reporting live, thanks a lot. border officials dealing with the surge of migrants as tend of title 42 nears. those are live images from brownsville, texas. we will have a live report from we will have a live report from our man griff jenkins next.

zero for the latest migrant surge. you can see the challenge the troopers have in trying to move very children but clearly this is a crisis that they haven't seen in a long time and this specific area. and while you are seeing texas dps down along the river we saw yesterday exclusive video we shot here of more than 50 hump humpvees, show of force, pvi, prevent, deter to get migrants from coming but it is clear with title 42 lifting in less than two weeks they are coming in major numbers and the local folks here including obviously the border patrol doing amazing job of trying to deal with surging resources right here to where we are which is ground zero, bus passing behind me now is one of the transport buses we see one about every 15 to 20

minutes, very active here, mike. we will send it back to you. mike: griff, as surge resources toward the border there, what are the next steps, what's the plan? >> well, that's a great question, mike and i can say enough complimentary things about the rgv border patrol chief here gloria chávez because she has learned from surges in the past. we had title 42 going away six months ago and there was huge upticks and learned to handle the upticks better. we know title 42 is really going away, that's why the numbers are surging already two weeks ahead and they are going to see more resources coming but you are also going to see the story develop in terms of where migrants go and they will go into the interior to places like washington, new york and chicago where we had video yesterday of migrants sleeping in the airport and police stations because

there's no where to put them. ultimately how this story ends is anybody's guess but everyone here is bracing for the worst, mike. mike: griff, i'm curious about the morale, also the folks at the border don't create the policy and they have to execute the policy and they are looking for a surge in the next coming days, how are they holding up? >> well, morale is a tough question and the border patrol agents and texas dps state troopers and the texas national guard and air guard are exhausted of two years of this. i remember our coverage began in march of 2021 when the administration had just taken over and i did live shots with you in matamoros and now you have a much larger problem two years later, however, when you talk to men and women in state trooper uniforms about what is happening now, they are tired, exhausted but they are all hands on deck and they are doing

everything they can right now to try and deal with what's coming and what's already here, mike. mike: griff jenkins live in brownsville, thanks so much. meanwhile house republicans are attempt to go push through a series of border security measures that would resume construction to have bored wall and bump up pay for border patrol and other initiatives. chad pergram has that story. >> house republicans talk about border security all the time. >> the border is wide open. >> massive waves of people to come. >> but doing something proved elusive perhaps until now. >> we will bring a border security package and pass it through the house of representatives. >> that's what republicans pledged last fall. >> i will promise you this, if we get the majority, we will secure this border. >> the ayes have it. >> consensus evaded republicans

which could be crucial to the dynamics of the war. we are seeing here troops have been ongoing intensive training to prepare for this push. ukraine's military leaders say the soldier are ready to move at any time now and they'll be boosted, of course, by tanks and armored vehicles sent from nato countries including the u.s. this offensive is in response to a russian offensive that's been happening over the winter. that has taken little territory but we have seen brutal fighting mostly around bakhmut and speaking ahead of the offensive, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenksyy says he's confident that troops can reclaim territory from russia but weapons will be key to this and ukraine calling for f16 fighter jets in addition to weapons and training it's already receiving from the west. in sign of rising tensions on saturday, ukrainian drone strike caused a huge fire at an oil

strike at an oil depo in russian occupied crimea and that caused a huge fire. a day earlier we saw series of russian missiles hitting several locations in ukraine killing 25 people and many died when missile hit apartment block in the central city. ukraine says russia was targeting civilian areas intentionally to cause fear, russia, of course, denies this. now ukraine is hoping this offensive will cause russia to pull back but it will need the support, the boost of those nato and u.s. supplied weapons to achieve that goal and it's not going to be easy, mike. back to you. mike: kitty logan reporting live, thanks so much. lori being accused of being involved in multiple murder now on trial of her alleged crimes, more on her shocking case coming up next.

pattern of conduct and 5 people in the immediate circle of these two who are dead on the inside of six months. so they are doing what they can to show that her behavior doesn't make sense in the context of what happened and it's also just completely unbelievable to believe that she wasn't in on these things. it doesn't make sense to believe that her brother and her husband both of whom she was very close to intimately involved with the husband/fiance, very close to the brother that they did this without input and that's a logic. she didn't seem to have a care in the world even though her children were allegedly missing. mike: they point the finger and blame at other folks unrelated or how does that go? >> well, for sure they are going to point the finger and blame alex cox. there's no reason not to. he allegedly died of natural causes in december, two months after tammy daybell died.

that's hard to believe also. they are going to go with that. i'm sure they will place blame on him. chad is not being tried with lori. they are still married. she apparently want today see this in the midst of this and the judge wouldn't allow it. we don't know how much blame will be put on him. alex will be a fall guy and she does have alibi defense. i'm not sure how relevant or helpful the fact that she's claiming he was at her brother's apartment when the children were killed are going to be dollar the theory she didn't get hands dirty but she was a master mind and principal in this crime. mike: ten seconds, does lori end up testifying? >> i don't think so. mike: all right. >> don't play this back if i'm wrong but i don't think so. i think she has too much of a downside. mike mining thank you very much for your time, lexy, always great having you on. florida bracing for more severe weather after strong storms ripped through the region yesterday. we will have your forecast from the fox weather center.t
