living, you still need fossil fuels and this is one way to get them. >> bill: funny how it works from los angeles. william la jeunesse, thanks. >> dana: let's give everybody a view of something happening at the border. we're about a week away from title 42 expiring and the migrants know it. so they are coming in droves and it is picking up. we just had an amazing report from griff jenkins on the ground doing terrific work telling us what's happening there. a good thing fox news is there. we have our drone team there, they can show you these pictures as this line has tripled since we've been on the air in an hour. >> bill: they're one hour behind. the morning hours seem to be the busiest hours you would say. sun is not up and it's not as hot. you just said they know how the rules are changing and so do the cartels. everybody can read a calendar. this is what's coming our way. >> dana: we'll have more on this

later in the show. keep an eye on this. this line i do believe i could say has maybe tripled since we've been on the air in just an hour and everybody is lining up right there. >> it was definitely time to lock down and make sure you know where you are going, you aren't going out after dark or alone. >> all of yesterday i stayed home. i didn't go out. >> people have the same idea. people are trying to stay at home if they don't have a reason to go out. >> really unnerving. like a graveyard. >> dana: a normally peaceful college town as police investigate three stabbings at u.c. davis. >> there is a series of random of brutal attacks u.c. davis west of sacramento. the f.b.i. and homicide

detectives joining that investigation. officers picking up a possible person of interest yesterday for questioning. local police trying to make sure that no stone is unturned. >> the attacks with knives were particularly brutal and violent. we're not dealing with three separate crimes. until we have evidence to conclusively say that all three are related, we have to keep our options open and explore all leads. >> dana: matt finn live on the west coast. i have a good friend who lives out there with her young family and she says they haven't even gone outside. >> the town on davis is on edge with a potential serial killer still on the loose. police have questioned persons of interest and biological evidence. at this hour there is no official word of any arrest. in a week three people were stabbed in public. two have died. the first victim a 50-year-old

beloved community figure david bro stabbed last thursday. two days later the body of a 20-year-old college senior was found at another park near campus. his family says he was walking home that night and was six weeks away from graduation. the most recent attack, the third victim, happened early monday at a homeless camp a few miles from campus. a homeless woman in her 60s was stabbed through the vinyl of a tent multiple times. in critical condition and expected to survive. witnesses to the third stabbing describes the suspect as a man between five fought 6 and 5 foote nine. moments before the third attack they saw a person who fit that description. >> my friend said you look like a guy. he came back 20 minutes later and pushed his hand under the tent and hit her in the head and carved her with a knife.

cut the tent. >> right now u.c. davis has canceled in-person classes at night and beefing up security. some students are demanding that daytime classes be canceled as well until this killer is caught, dana. >> dana: disrupting everything there. thank you, matt finn. >> we don't endorse strikes on individual leaders. mr. putin is the aggressor here, his forces are in ukraine illegally in an unprovoked way. if he really wants to end this war and really wants to see security there on the continent he can have his troops pull out of ukraine now and end this thing all together. >> dana: john kirby responding to allegations on an attack on the kremlin. they contend two drones were used to assassinate russian president vladimir putin. kiev denies those claims.

rich edson is live from the state department. where do things stand today? >> good morning. the russian government is blaming the united states for these objects that appear to have exploded over the kremlin wednesday night. the spokesperson for the russian president vladimir putin says the united states earlier had provided targeting information to the ukrainian government and then instructed ukraine to carry out an attack. the white house says that's nonsense. >> i will just tell you they are lying. it is a ludicrous claim. >> he said the united states encourages or enables ukraine to strike outside its border. blinken said he would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a large glass of salt. they have discouraged the

ukrainian government from hitting russian governments beyond that. the russian government claims it was an attack against putin himself. the white house says it does not endorse strikes like that against specific individual leaders. analysts say the russian government has a long history of staging attacks as an excuse to escalate aggression. ukraine government is accusing russia of just that. last night the russian military launched drones and missiles against ukrainian cities what is an imminent counter offensive from ukrainian forces which have been trying to kick the russian military out of their country since 2014. dana. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: there is apparently a new whistleblower stepping forward claiming if f.b.i. has information that ties the president to an alleged bribery scheme alleging that biden took money from a foreign national while vice president in exchange for a policy decision. top republicans issued a

subpoena. the f.b.i. demanding a document with precise details of the investigation. the white house calling it a baseless political attack. front page of the "new york post" says this, the clock is ticking for joe bribe-en. start with you, john. they believe it exists and they believe it is non-classified officially at the moment. >> we shouldn't get over our skis yet. it is a letter talking about a document we haven't seen. i want to see the primary source this is based on. this is a very dramatic escalation in the language for people like james comer and chuck grassley alleging that president biden was involved in a foreign bribery scheme. >> james common doesn't tip his hand too much. it could be a lot of countries.

we have reported that it is not china, but it could be -- hunter biden had business dealings with russia, ukraine, mexico, kazakhstan, romania, serbian royal family in belgrade. a lot of different avenues it could go into. >> dana: i want to ask you a question. this document goes back to when joe biden was the vice president and the white house might say okay, this document -- if it existed wouldn't it have come to light before now? >> we've seen the f.b.i. has a pattern of politization. a congressional committee with weaponization of the f.b.i. and they had the hunter biden hard drive from 2019 and didn't move on it. if this is as incriminating as james comer said why didn't the

f.b.i. do anything? >> dana: a white house spokesperson said republicans in congress have been lobbying unfounded politically motivated attacks against the president and his family without offering evidence. when it comes to president biden's personal finances anybody can take a look. this allegation would seem to be different than looking at tax returns. >> not finances but bribery taking place in the vice president's office. that's a big question and we do know there are long investigations, unreasonably long, into the biden family. hunter biden over four years of investigation. good reason for congress to ask these big questions and if a whistleblower comes forward to say there is this source document that suggests that joe biden may have been involved in some sort of bribery scheme, we have to know that as the american people. it's critical information for us to all know. >> bill: so you try to figure out where the story goes next, andrew, right and john you as well. we tried to get at this last hour. what grassley seemed to say

yesterday he believes the document exists. don't classify it and keep it in the public domain and don't destroy it. if the letter doesn't present itself, the only story you have is from this whistleblower and that man or woman has to talk. >> there are a number of ways which this document doesn't come forward. number one if it doesn't is. we look at why the whistleblower came forward in the place first. the second is classify it retroactively and keep it under seal. the last would be that they actually have to produce it or i guess the other would be they realize that this is still an ongoing investigation. and refuse the subpoena. there are ways for them to not disclose it. ultimately congress has wide subpoena power to oversee the f.b.i. and should be produced as long as it still exists

>> the f.b.i. said they're in receipt of the subpoena and we have to see where the facts lie. i am nervous to get over my skis because we don't have the underlying document. sams had a point. republicans are speaking for years they have it now, the shoe is about to drop and it hasn't. let's see where the evidence takes us. >> dana: when you have back at your desk thinking about what's the next story, there are so many different threads that can be pulled here. how do you decide? what's the triage? >> you have to call people and hit the phones. that's what i will do the second i'm off this set. >> dana: hit the phone. great to have you both. thank you for coming back. >> bill: thanks. >> here is my question. when you send these troops are this he to process more illegal immigrants to come into the country or to do the job, secure the border, enforce the law? we have to have a border. >> dana: the biden administration under fire from

all sides after ordering troops to help with the growing migrant surge ahead of ending title 42. colorado governor is ahead with reaction. >> bill: artificial intelligence changing the digital landscape and threaten to take away a lot of jobs imposing the danger to how we interact online. any way to get a.i. under control? what the white house is calling for. >> dana: the biden administration is calling for a green revolution pushing to replace fossil fuel with electric energy. can the u.s. power grid keep up with demand? how much pain will that cause? >> the biden energy policy is having the exact opposite of what they attest to be for, which is lowering the emissions and helping the environment. they are actually hurting it. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis

>> they can't mean that. >> he knows where he is going. >> does he know? stop yelling at me. remain calm. >> dana: characters from the office predicted this next story. tourists in hawaii followed their gps right into the harbor. they had to help them get out of the sinking van. do you fully trust your gps or do you question it? >> when i use it, i reload it. what i found in new york because the streets are so crowded even long island. lady ways app, she gets confused. if you reload it sometimes you get more active. something online the other day. a guy put his boat in the water and the car that it was attached

to on the boat went with it and he jumps out. he just missed getting run over by his own car and the boat and car both go into the water. kind of like this. >> dana: glad everyone was okay. quick thinking by the rescuers. >> bill: do you stop and ask for directions when you drive with peter? >> dana: no, i sit silently in panic. >> bill: a.i. right now taking center stage today for the administration. here we go. calling for responsible innovation. meeting with industry leaders next hour looking to advance the exploding technology while reducing risk. kelly o'grady has been on this and back with us today fox business. kelly, good morning to you. >> good morning. today's focus is on the safe and ethical use of a.i. v.p. will be meeting with ceos from leading companies. the meeting is closed to the press but the white house shared this context with us. we must place people and

communities at the center by supporting responsible innovation that serves the public good. companies have a fundamental responsibility to make sure their products are safe before they are deployed or made public. but you have big tech racing to one up each other and white house critics question how substantive this meeting will be. >> seems to be nothing more than a p.r. stunt. everyone's eyes are on the issue. the emerging policy frontier. a high stakes issue for us to roll the dice on a pr effort. total consequences and daily news coverage. >> the white house announced 140 million in funding to launch seven national a.i. nation fall research institutes and public assessment of existing a.i. systems. daily warnings wrack up about the dangers to the economy, jobs and humanity itself. evidence of that. researchers at the u.t. austin

are developing a program that reads your mind by combining mri tech and a.i. that translates your brain waves to text. that's incredible potential for those that can't speak but comes with obvious dangers. it is just one example of the back drop for today's meeting and the very real question whether washington has the experience to regulate this type of tech. send it back to you. >> bill: we'll see how kamala harris does with this one. >> dana: i think the answer is no in my opinion. live pictures here along the border. we've been showing you this morning. there is preparation underway because title 42 is set to expire in one week and this isn't the shot i was thinking of. here we go. this lineup here has at least tripled since we have been here this morning. it might be a different one we're looking at here. all along the border, the cartels know that title 42 is expiring. migrants know it is expiring. biden administration is now

going to send 1500 troops to the border. they will be deployed along the southern border helping deal with the influx. some democratic lawmakers are voicing concern over that decision but they have to do something. let's bring in colorado governor polis. good to have you. title 42 we've known will be going away. it is now a week before that that the president said let's send 1500 troops down there. do you support sending the troops? >> yeah, absolutely. keeping law and order with this many people is absolutely critical. i hope that they are calling up -- if it was in my state we would use our national guard, military reserve, federal troops. this is after all protecting our border. hopefully police from neighboring cities. this is a huge influx of folks and we need to make sure it's done above board and in a legitimate rate and people refugee claims can make them and people able to get where they

want to go. >> bill: you have taken in 4,000 migrants in a year's time. i think i got that number right. our mayor in new york said the busing of these migrants to african-american cities is racist. now you look at the numbers and i don't know what it's like on the border. we don't have a secure border. do you agree with the premise that taking migrants away from the border is racism? >> well look, first of all we should secure the border. i think that a lot of this speaks to the failure to have the border security we need to protect the territorial integrity of our country. second we need to make sure there is that people who are here and have a refugee claim can get a temporary work permit to work. it turns them from a liability to an asset. we have two job openings for every unemployed person in our state. we would love people with legal work permits that could work in

construct and service industry. we have jobs to support our economy. let's do it. there is a lot we need to work out. some involves congress. the president cannot do this alone. we can do it a lot better than we're doing it now and it will be tough in the weeks ahead to make sure we can successfully integrate folks. we did over 2,000 afghan refugees as part of what colorado has done and came in an orderly way with work permits and they already have jobs across our state. many professionals and speak english. it is going quite well. let's model what we did with the afghan refugees. >> dana: if only. there are tens of thousands of afghans promised opportunities to come here. colorado is a wonderful place for refugees and i grew up in one of those neighborhoods as a kid. i want to ask you about this. a colorado teachers union has issued a resolution voted on a resolution saying capitalism exploits children, public

schools, land, labor and resources. i know you are a capitalist yourself and trying to get more people and have their businesses right there in colorado. do you reject what the teachers union is saying here? >> what a bizarre thing. i don't know what part of the teachers union said that. we all value diversity among our teachers. when i was young i had a libertarian and other teachers. the great economic engine of capitalism that funds our schools. we would have not only educators but so many others living in squalor if we move toward socialism or communism. capitalism keep teacher salaries up, funds our schools and leads to the prosperity we have across the country. >> bill: 40,000 members in your state for this colorado education association. if you read the resolution they imply capitalism is responsible for climate change, racism.

inequality of all genders and people saying the system is the problem. wow. maybe there is a conversation that you need to be having there >> again, i don't want to put words in the mouth of 40,000 teachers. it was probably a small group. 100 or 200 or what. as i said we have teachers of every persuasion in colorado. i think the vast majority are republicans and democrats that support capitalism. i think by and large teachers deeply understand that the capitalism is the hand that feeds them and what leads to the great degree. we have been able to raise teachers salaries 10% this last year because our capitalist economic system is a great success. we look forward to growing our economy more. you can pay teachers better when you do that. that's a great thing. >> dana: keep us posted on the

reopening of casa bonita. more to come on that, everyone. >> bill: student test scores sink to historically low levels. bill bennett has reaction on that. we'll talk to him live. a blank space possibly filled. it did not take long, dana. rumors of taylor swift's alleged new man in today's celebrity news. ♪ lomita feed is 101 years old this year and counting. i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people that we needed and the people that have been here taking care of us. see if your business may qualify.

coming at a time when the cost of energy has gone up over 20% in the last two years. now this is an issue that is typically drawn along political lines. we wanted to hear from everyday americans to understand what they think about the current state of energy in our country and if green energy will be an important issue for them or if it comes down to dollars and cents. watch. >> sticking to the fossil fuel aspect of it, a day-to-day usage for a lot of the things that we do and also take into consideration some of the conservation issues. >> hopefully the advances in sustainable energy can lead to reduction of prices. >> green energy. a lot of people can't afford this. >> it's how the world needs to move. we have to move along with it. >> one of the things is the grid. i never want to be not be able to charge a car. >> the epa just announced some of the strictest car emission standards ever which will phase

out most internal combustion engines by 2032. how popular is that? polling shows us 43% might consider an electric vehicle but 41% would absolutely not go the electric route. in these states, you might not have a choice. all of these states banning new gas vehicle sales by 2035. voters will have a choice come this next election. bill. >> bill: they will. regulation nation. madison, thank you for that. madison on the streets of new york city. >> dana: our nation's kids are not just struggling with reading and math. history and civics test scores for eighth graders are dropping. this according to an assessment known as the nation's report card saying this. far too many of our students are struggling to understand and explain the importance of civic participation. how american government functions. and the historical significance of events. these results are a national

concern. let's talk about it with fox news contributor and former education secretary bill bennett. distressing, these scores. maybe not surprising. >> not surprising but horrifying, terrible. you know, the real discreep nancy is between students' knowledge of america and their attitude about america. you had the governor of colorado on and you saw the resolution the colorado teacher's union capitalism is horrible and terrible. no wonder our kids don't know american history but plenty of attitude of it. much of that attitude is bad and negative. a good thing for them to know the glory that is america as well as all these charges that are now running around in the schools. >> dana: the current secretary of education took a swipe at politicians especially republicans last fall saying that it tells us that now is not the time for politicians to try

to extract double digit cuts to education funding nor is it the time to limit what students learn in u.s. history and civics classes. is money the issue here? >> money is not the issue. they always say money is the issue. the idea that republicans have something to do with this the ridiculous. the problem is the teaching of american history or the failure to teach american history. but given the behavior of these unions and the resolution tell the governor of colorado they can't pass these resolutions, the teachers union unless there is strong support for it. if that's what the teachers think about capitalism what in god's name do they think about america? why do they think millions of people are lined up on that border trying to come into this country? why would someone come into such a god forsaken place. it still is a dream to come to america. >> dana: the nation's report card showed math and reading scores are way down in grades 4

and 8, and then you have the results from 2019 and 2022. randi weingarten was talking about covid learning loss. asked about it on april 26th. listen to her here. >> we knew that remote education was not a substitute for opening schools but we also knew that people had to be safe. we were simply looking for was clear scientific guidance. when we couldn't get it, we did it ourselves. >> dana: do you think there is a recognition by the teachers union that there was a big mistake in keeping kids out of school? >> sure, i think they have to recognize this. they were a major impediment to opening the schools when lots of people got tired of the lockdown and ready to open the schools. when the evidence was in where states where schools weren't locked down the kids weren't getting sick and teachers weren't getting sick.

still they pushed for keeping the schools closed. everybody saw that. >> dana: we sure did. for everybody out there and if you have children and there is a great podcast for kids called constituting america. find it and learn more about the constitution. a good listen and made for kids and partly because of that covid learning loss. >> yep. we've got a project i'm developing, people can look up the today foundation. we're trying to do an honest curriculum in american history for eighth graders and 11th graders to correct this. there are some bright spots in american education but too many spots that aren't so bright. >> dana: thank you, bill bennett. always great to have you. >> thank you, dana. >> bill: thank you. sir. reading the tea leaves on t. swifty is today's celebrity news. last month you learned that --

>> dana: this is not your grandfather's recruitment poster. the u.s. navy inviting a drag queen to be a digital ambassador looking to persuade new recruits to enlist. the effort could be backfiring amid a storm of criticism. mike emanuel is live. i led a forum talking about the problems for recruiters trying to get more young people to want to join the military. it is tough out there. was this the answer? >> it is a challenging approach. challenging environment. the navy is facing backlash after using a drag queen influencer to persuade young adults to join the military. 1 of 5 sailors serving as a digital ambassador he has more than 1.3 million likes on tiktok including transitioning from

uniform to drag. the navy in a statement says the navy digital ambassador program was a pilot initiative designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates as the navy has a recruiting environment. on capitol hill lawmakers are clearly confused, including this from an iraq war veteran. >> it seems so foolish. in the middle of a recruiting crisis driven in part by concerns of political correctness in the military the navy turns to a drag queen ambassador to try to recruit more people to the military? it's almost certain to be counterproductive. >> then this reaction from a marine corps veteran. >> if you are middle class american and joining the military, you want to join a military that shares your values. it is all about defending your country. you don't want to join a military where the left wing fringes of progressive policies

are being promoted in any military branch. >> the navy wants recruits to know they don't have to be robots if they join the military. >> bill: crime in america. famous new orleans restaurant reopening its doors days after a shooting that left a server dead, age 23, and customer wounded. the latest chapter in the city's crime crisis. the level of violence is at an all-time high. jason williams, the d.a. in new orleans. what is happening in the crescent city? >> look, i am quoted as saying rome is burning and that's not meant to be hyperbolic. i've been ringing this alarm for over a year now with when carjackings began to surge. the rome is burning in this entire country.

yesterday cleveland, texas, last week. this pandemic of violence is not confined to new orleans borders but this is the area that i'm focused on. this is where my family lives. and the level of repeated violence is unparalleled. we need national and local responses to it. i don't think it's a democrat or republican issue. whether you are a liberal or progressive i think we can all agree that murder, rape and armed robbery need to be dealt with aggressively and consistently. this is a triage moment right now. >> bill: you speak with great eloquence and i can hear your passion. let me dive into it. i was telling dana we see things in new york city by the week that we've never seen before. you are probably having that same experience in new orleans and other people who are watching us today from across america probably feel the same way. yesterday outside by building there was a drug deal. they felt so unencumbered by the

fact it was daylight they could do their business. they have no fear. i think you probably sense that in new orleans as well. we were told by your office you said the city right now is a free for all. if it's not a democrat or republican problem, how do we solve this? what is your best solution? i understand you have a good relationship with the police. how do you do it? >> we have a new interim police chief. we talk on a regular basis. to be honest with you, the first part is really just like a doctor, right? diagnosing the problem. there are certain folks that are denying we had a violent crime problem. that's a big difference between a belly ache and cancer. once you diagnose it, you have to get every city leader, every citizen realizing we all have to do our part to get out of this crisis. i just tried a case myself a murder case in which an individual was shot point blank range, right, and there were

witnesses all around but not a single witness came forward to testify. we had to rely on crime cameras to prove that case. we won that case but everybody has a role to play. the brazenness of crimes is unprecedented. >> bill: as the leading officer of law in your town, if what i just relayed to you anecdotally, if the criminals have no fear, you have to change that. and you can do it with proper punishment. don't you agree? >> i completely agree with that. we actually have brought back the multiple offender law. it was suspended for the first two years of my term because it was misused for so long. non-violent crimes. we're focusing on using that for people who are hurting people. murder, rape, armed robbery. we transferred juvenile cases to adult court because of

punishment. serving time until 21 is not enough accountable or someone to learn from their bad behavior. these are all things that have to change the mindset of what it means to live in a civilized society. >> bill: sir, you have a big job on your hands there. a great american city, too. wish you good luck. >> we'll get through it. >> bill: when that happens and along the way come back and talk to us about it. jason williams. in new orleans. >> dana: they're lucky to have him. a florida community devastated by hurricane ian. how residents are doing six month later as hurricane season comes back around. >> it's all sur real still. i'm hoping we don't have a bad one and hope we don't get hit directly for several years at least. it will take that long to get back to where we were at. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash.
