>> we have a lot of pictures of the royal family there. ainsley, piers morgan and martha, the king coronation tomorrow. 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. eastern time. [chanting and shouting] >> dana: anger in new york city. protestors calling for justice after a deadly confrontation between subway passengers. their pre-conceived narrative may not fit with reality. good morning. >> those protests are coming in in response to the death of jordan kneely killed on monday after boarding a train and started yelling at passengers.

a man identified as a marine veteran tackled him to the ground and put him in a choke hold. the marine reportedly held him like that for several minutes. >> dana: kneely was later pronounced dead. >> the man seen tackling him was taken into custody and released and not charged yet. that is igniting outrage on the left. protestors taking to the streets. look at your screen there calling for the marine to face murder charges. some democrats are echoing that sentiment and pressuring the d.a. alvin bragg to prosecute him >> dana: kneely was 30 years old. homeless. made a living as a subway performer and michael jackson impersonator. >> he had a history of mental illness and arrested dozens of times and told police he was schizophrenic. the city failed him. >> dana: this case is reigniting the debate on law enforcement.

many arguing his death could have been prevented if police had been allowed to do their jobs. >> this horrible tragedy was completely avoidable but it has come about because of poor policing in new york city, a stress on the police in the city not to treat what they call minor crimes as any significance, and acceptance of homelessness as a way of life. the left objecting to putting insane and mentally ill people in the care they need because they say such a thing would rob them of agency. that's why new yorkers are used to like kneely being on their trains. >> dana: laura engel has more from the new york city newsroom. >> voices grow louder, the mayor of new york city continues to

ask for patience while investigations move forward. some enraged by what they have seen so far and are demanding answers. this cell phone video of the deadly struggle in the subway continues to draw questions about what happened leading up to the moment a 24-year-old former marine held the man on the ground in the choke hold. witnesses he was screaming and threatening passengers. one rider told the "new york post" this. he said he had no food, he said he had no drink. that he was tired and doesn't care if he goes to jail. >> protestors marched last night from barclay center to lower manhattan shutting down parts of the manhattan bridge, spray painting the street with justice for jordan and at times clashing with police and chanting we reject eric adams for not calling this death a murder. something the mayor doubled down

on yesterday. >> i have faith in the criminal justice system and let the process take its place. those who believe that i should do something differently, i respect that. >> the former marine has not been charged. he hired criminal defense attorney thomas kenneth, manhattan das formal rival who ran against him for the race for d.a. in 2021. hochul says kneely's family deserves justice and we follow this in the newsroom. >> dana: more later in the show. thank you, laura. >> u.s. labor market hitting the accelerator. economy added 253,000 jobs last month. that is stronger than analysts expected. unemployment ticked down to 3.4% matching the lowest rate in more than 50 years. jacque heinrich live at the white house on how this report could impact the president's agenda this morning, jacque.

>> good morning, aishah. we have not heard from the president in reaction to all of this. we expect to see him a few hours from now at 11:45 and should address this. the economy adding 253,000 jobs, way, way higher than expected. also the unemployment rate ticking down to 3.4%, lowest in 50 years. these are not good indicators for slowing the economy down. what the fed has been trying to achieve has not happened yet which means those rate hikes are possibly going to continue. that's really a pivot from what we heard from the fed yesterday indicating that they were likely to consider pausing the rate hikes. not going in the direction the president wants. and while congress is locking horns with the white house on talks to raise the debt limit, this is all the more striking. treasury secretary janet yellen warned the u.s. might not be able to pay its bills as soon as

june 1st. the president ruled out any kind of negotiating opened the door to sit down with the four congressional leaders. that the debt ceiling has to be raised without cutting the budget. it is unlikely yellen would have sent that signal without full buy in from the white house on what it would mean for the president's next steps. the white house in the meantime has been telling half truths about what this could mean for americans with respect to the budget. listen. >> it's important that people understand exactly what this bill would mean for them. for starters, it would cut veterans benefits. that's why we saw public outcry from two dozen veterans groups when this bill was considered. it jeopardizes public safety and laying off 2,000 border patrol agents. >> in reality republicans vowed no veterans benefits would seem cuts. the same exceptions for senior

entitlements and defense spending and the white house is getting criticism for -- the va claimed the budget bill would mean cuts to veterans benefits and 50 house republicans have responded in kind with a letter condemning the v.a. secretary for using veterans as a political pawn. a lot of this conversation is still continuing but the white house is sticking with their messaging blaming the g.o.p. for where things stand right now and refusing to have any serious talks about what happens next. >> nothing has changed. jacque live for us at the white house. >> dana: let's bring in larry kudlow. when i last saw you, less than 12 hours ago on "special report" with bret baier we were talking about the economy, banks and debt ceiling. how do you put this strong jobs number into the calculation and what comes out?

>> actually, the big story here is it's not a strong jobs number because it turns out the two prior months were revised lower by a substantial amount. march was revised lower by 71,000 and february was revised lower by 78,000. that's a total of 149,000 lower reductions, which means from the number today, which is 253, actually on net you only increased jobs by 104,000, okay? that's awfully important because that's the way the math goes. so this was a sloppy number. the unemployment rate did stay down at 3.4%. one other number worth noting here, year-on-year increase in average hourly earnings, which means wages, was up 4.4%. we don't have an inflation number for april yet, dana, but

the cpi in march was 5%. so this looks to be another number under water where inflation is rising higher than wages. you know, the real wage decline has been going on for over two years. the length of the biden administration. it has been the soft underbelly of the economy under president biden. so again when you look at this, these revisions, which are breathtaking by the way. i've been in the game a long time. i seldom see this kind of thing. one other thing, when you get a series of lower revisions, okay, downward revisions, that's usually a leading indicator for a poor or weakening jobs market. i can't say that definitively because it is just two months. 149,000, call it 150,000, that's a huge chunk. again, the actual number, the

payroll number up 104,000 when adjusted for the revisions. it is not a good number. one last stat. i hate to do this to you, dana. not your favorite thing. one more statistic. i've known you for so long. anyway, weekly unemployment claims are beginning to creep up now. they are close to 250,000. that's about 75, 85,000 above where they were at the bottom. so i guess i would take away from this it's actually a softening jobs market rather than a strengthening one. >> can i ask you about the regional banks? that seems to be the headline story right now. the rate hikes that have been coming one after the other have been killing these banks. right now about half the country, half of americans according to a gallup poll are worried about their money in banks. so how does this jobs report and what we're seeing right now,

what happens next? do we see more rate hikes or does it pause now? >> well, you know, from my standpoint i would like to see the fed pause. i think there is a lot of leading indicators of inflation and they are all pointing down, okay? in particular, commodity markets and commodity indexes, broad commodity indexes including, i might add, an important commodity called oil. i don't know what it is this morning. it was $69 at the close yesterday. commodities are headed down. they've been falling for about a year and that means the real value of the dollar, king dollar is very strong. that's anti-inflationary. second, the m2 money supply has been falling for well over a year. it is actually in negative territory. actually two years worth. it has gone from plus 30% to minus 4 or 5%.

you can't ignore that. the fed does at their own peril. the third, the treasury -- stay with me. the treasury yield curve, the difference between short-term rate and a ten year bond rate is turned up side down. the short rates are now way above the long rates. that's abnormal. a healthy curve has the long rates above the short rates. so an upside down yield curve is a recession signal. crashing money supply is a recession signal, and falling commodity prices, recession signal. all of them suggest that the inflation rate, which has been gradually coming down. it has been kind of sticky but i think it will continue to come down. and i think the fed should be careful here. i don't think there is any rush. i think they should pause for a couple of months and see what is going on. i don't think they should cut

their rate but why not pause for a while? you are right about these banks. people are very worried. if you have an uninsured deposit you should be worried. if you have an uninsured deposit. >> dana: i try to find somebody like you to brief on the economic days and revisions are frustrating. people are trying to make decisions while it is happening. what's happening across the pond? here you have king charles. he is greeting the well-wishers and fans of his and everybody who is gathering for this wonderful weekend of celebration they will have in the u.k. just ahead of his coronation. beautiful sunny day there today and we'll be able to talk with martha maccallum live who is there ready to give us all the information that we need before the big day tomorrow. starts at 6:00 a.m. eastern on

>> dana: title 42 is set to expires in six days. while more migrants are crossing the border every single day, officials worry that a massive group is waiting until the policy ends before entering our country. senators thom tillis and chris tin sinema.

border chief chris clem is here to talk about the situation. let's get to griff jenkins live in brownsville, texas. the pressure on the border is reaching a boiling point. >> it sure is, dana. good morning. even with title 42 currently if place the numbers are off the charts. let's get right to fox flight team and drone in the sky. on the levy behind me another large group. we've been getting over 2,000 a day since i've been on the ground a week ago. more than 15,000 migrants mostly venezuelan have crossed right here. let me show you brand-new video. our fox flight team shot with their drone overnight. look at this. you can see even when the sun goes down the large groups are there. the u.s. side is in the bottom part of your screen with the large group and migrants in the river. top of your screen there is in mexico we can show you. video we have shot exclusively in mexico on the mexico side. look here.

we understand mexico is cooperating with u.s. officials but don't appear to stop the flow which only seems to be growing. i want to take you also over out to el paso where we have seen the pictures. here is exclusive video given to fox news by texas representative tony gonzalez taking a tour with border patrol union along the razor wire. a gaping hole a few miles from downtown el paso. that is mexico in the distance. you can see they are just walking right up to the hole and you will see the migrants come right through unabated. no border patrol there to stop them. we went last night here in brownsville, dana, to a city council meeting. i asked the mayor pro-tem about his concerns by residents are worried about what may be coming. here is what he said. >> it is justified. everybody should have concerns, should pause because we don't know what we'll be facing next week and we know to a great

extent we're at the mercy of what the federal government decides to do and we're left to deal with it at the local level and on the border. we have to take every preparation we can. >> should secretary mayokas come here where we are at camp monument hill c the migrants being quickly screened, transported out but the crisis on our southern border. >> dana: thank you, griff. >> aishah: let's bring in chris clem border patrol chief. griff is talking about in incoming we're expecting when title 42 ends. i would say the surge is here. we're looking at 2,000 people per day in the last couple of weeks here. let me first ask you about this extension that's being worked on on the hill who want to extend title 42. chris, can something like that work? could it when help this administration? >> well, good morning, aishah. once again thank you for having

me on here. shout-out to my cbp family. earlier this week they helped local officials in east texas, specifically the folks arresting the fugitive killer. a shout-out to what they're capable of doing when they are allowed to do what they need to do. they support the american people. what is happening on the border. this legislation put out there we have to ask the question why did we get to this point? we have sitting senators saying we have a problem here. and i think this is a great first step. it has drawn attention to something we've been ringing the alarm for several years on. it has been slow going. they've been doing things but not enough to get this under control. we need to stop this. it is helpful and i think it will be a first step to getting us to the table. you have people from both sides of the aisle. hopefully it will get some people to start thinking of solutions.

maybe the house will do the same thing and add more teeth to it like shutting down the total numbers coming in here and put stuff in there that talks about ice capabilities, detention capabilities. we have to be able to get ahold of this problem. this legislation is bipartisan and most importantly it came from the ground. it was people talking to the senators. senators listening to both sides of the aisle when it comes to elected officials, community leaders seeing the impacts. that's what the american people need to know exactly the report griff jot. the video doesn't lie. look at the numbers. 9,000 arrests along the southwest border. every border patrol sector with the exception of big ben is at 100% capacity. this is a problem. >> aishah: the administration has been hearing from these bipartisan lawmakers for a while. i attended hearings from mayokas where people and democrats are calling him and the administration out saying they

were not prepared for the end of title 42. he kept saying they had a plan. they had a plan to send in 24,000 cbp officers. that wasn't enough. they had a plan to add 2,000 contractors. that wasn't enough. now their plan is to send 1500 u.s. troops. is that going to be enough? >> well first of all, our heroes in the military, our active duty and veterans are our best patriots and do whatever the orders tell them to do but it's not enough. we're catching over 9,000 a day. 1500 a day arrested in south texas and el paso alone. >> aishah: processing. >> they don't have to be hands on with the migrants themselves but they will do some of the jobs that would pull our processing coordinators and border agents away. there is added benefit but not a solution. it is not brute force. it is policy and state department and white house holding other countries sending these folks accountable to say

no, you have to stop this. we need to shut this down and clean up our own backyard. we have a lot of problems here. >> aishah: thank you so much for joining us this morning. good to see you. >> you got it. thank you. >> how long would it take me to get crack? >> under a minute. >> heroin, fentanyl? >> same. >> easy to get? >> dana: disturbing accounts of open air drug markets in san francisco. laura ingraham went there. she will join us. president biden keeping a light schedule after his big campaign announcement. is it a repeat of his 2020 strategy? kellyanne conway is here straight ahead. >> joe biden has been completely absent. the president of the united states. my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators

(grunt) yeah! what did i say? sorry. >> aishah: the hits in the hunter biden saga keep on

coming. this time a newly uncovered email shining a light on the political motivations behind the letter signed by former intelligence officials. that email is revealing how they wanted to give joe biden a talking point. literal talking point during a 2016 presidential debate by discrediting the infamous laptop story concerning his son, hunter. lucas tomlinson has more on this. >> good morning. many signers of the letter admit this was all about politics. they wanted joe biden in the white house, not donald trump. the republican chairman of the house oversight committee wants to learn more. >> we want to know exactly what they used to determine their decision to have such a big influence on the election and what we've seen from the email they didn't look into anything. these people know the bidens are corrupt but their hatred for donald trump far outweighs anything that would matter with

respect to national security. >> some intel officials signed the letter because they say president trump's rudy giuliani who was a russian agent and sanctioned for interfering in the 2020 elections and the ukrainian government sanctioned him for spreading russian propaganda. ben hall asked the secretary of state to explain how this letter was released ahead of the presidential election in october of 2020. >> tell us about the letter that was written concerning hunter biden's laptop. russian disinformation. can you explain what your role was in that and if you incentivized it? >> first one of the great benefits of this job is that i don't do politics and don't engage in it. but with regard to that letter, i didn't -- wasn't my idea. didn't ask for it or solicit it. >> some who signed the letter say they are receiving death threats today.

aishah. >> aishah: lucas tomlinson live in washington. >> dana: this is interesting in axios today showing this headline. inside hunter biden's clash with the white house that's always juicy. this is what they say tensions led hunter without involving the president' top aides to hire abby lowe to take a more combative approach than previous lawyers had taken. frustration on the hunter side they weren't able to push back hard enough. the white house counsel is saying will it help us? and i guess that remains to be seen. what do they say in d.c.? >> aishah: they think it has been very combative. the takeaway from ben hall's interview is the carefully crafted answer in talking about his current position. no one is asking about your current position but your former potion. tell us if it wasn't you, who was it? give us a name. >> dana: what happened the media might not follow up. because republicans won the house and they can have hearings and call for oversight. that works.

let's get to this as well. president biden has been keeping a light schedule in the week after his re-election announcement. a few things on the docket. no campaign events or trips out of state. let's bring in kellyanne conway and guest hosting hannity tonight. must-see tv. everybody runs a different campaign. there is usually a formula. they have all these people saying president biden is so with it and so agile and you don't actually see him doing that. i don't know if that's enough. >> i think the 2024 campaign for joe biden will come down to believing what they say or believing what you see. whether it's what you see at the border, the gas pump, ukraine, communities, what you see all across the globe and what you see from this president. i'm surprised they've sidelined him. biden in the basement 2020 but not that different in 2022. biden and even harris weren't invited to a lot of these swing states and districts. the president is coming to

wisconsin. would you like to campaign with him? i wash my hair on tuesdays. not available. when you are biden and harris you have to go out and campaign. i'm struck dana, how this 13-minute -- 3-minute announcement video. kamala harris is mentioned and featured 13 times. she never speaks. it is symbolism over substance. i believe this is the plan. it will be putting obama out there, bill clinton. other popular figures in the democratic party so that they go out and they campaign. joe biden is abdicating his presidential re-election campaign to people who are more popular. a majority of democrats don't want him to run. it is a mistake for biden to not debate in the democratic primary and take someone like robert

kennedy junior or williams seriously. last point. the hunter biden scandal still unfolding did not really resonate in 2020 because they hid it. these people who signed the letter still have major contracts on other networks and get major speaking fees. they admitted they lied and it was for political purposes. it will be an issue on debate stage in 2024. whoever the moderators are will say president biden you lied on the debate stage four years ago when you said the laptop didn't mean anything and you never discussed business with your son. and it will be relevant. >> dana: let me bring it up quick. over the past couple of weeks, even for a little while, the democrats have been saying that they think the court, supreme court the illegitimate. pro-public says clarence thomas in their reporting had done all these inappropriate, unethical

things with his finances and had a relationship with a good friend, a very wealthy friend that vacationed together and a long list of those. the "wall street journal" has gone through point by point saying we can say all these things have context or either or not true or taken way out of whack. but the "washington post" this morning has this if you could pull it up. judicial activists directed fees to clarence thomas wife and urged no mention of guinea thomas. leonard leo told kellyanne conway to build the nonprofit and use it to pay the spouse of the supreme court justice and not put her name in it. other networks this morning are covering this as if it is breaking news. what do you say? >> i didn't watch any of that. this is 2012 according to the "washington post." he is quoted in the article saying i've known the thomas's and been my friends since 1990 and i am very mindful how

vicious and gossipy people can be. i try to protect their privacy and safety. viciousness from ten years ago, 11 years ago has turned into violence now. people are outside of supreme court justice's homes trying to assassinate justice kavanaugh while his wife and daughters are in the home. they want clarence thomas to resign so joe biden of all people can replace him with one of his own. in this case ginnie thomas worked with the heritage foundation. is part of the grassroots. she had worked in the reagan administration. a serious person who for years had worked in public policy and at the polling company we did public opinion research and data analytics. no business before the court. >> dana: how do you feel being dragged into this? you are no stranger to that. >> they love to put my name in a headline. kellyanne conway or her husband seems to be their favorite

headlines. the fact is this. the "washington post" was looking for me all day yesterday. i want to look them in the eye and tell them i'm aware you contacted a lot of my former employees and you suggested to one of them that you go to her home and look at her old emails. that is so beyond the pale. that's who they are. i just want to say something the daily wire reported a few days ago. significant. justice sotomayor had two book contracts with random house and penguin. she has gotten over $3 million it is publicly reported. her main source of income. they were two different matters before the supreme court. she did not recuse herself from either one. that's a direct nexus. >> dana: do you think the goal on the left is to just delegitimize the court because they don't like the fact that there is a conservative court making decisions they don't like, like dobbs? >> they want to delegitimize the

conservatives on the court. in barrett's confirmation hearing she showed up with no notes and got seven kids to school that morning. the senators were rude to her. their job under the constitution is to advise and consent the president's nominees, not search and destroy. you will recall senator feinstein saying it is clear your dogma lives within you. people have published the name and address of her church and k k kids -- be careful when you delegitimize institutions. it hurts us all. the supreme court has the most constraints and most transparent. why aren't we banning stock trades from congress. they have the most constraints. i want people to check out the sotomayor article in daily wire. it is direct nexus receiving millions of dollars from two publishing housing and not recusing herself when that

business is before the court. >> dana: have a good time tonight. just remember smile. >> and listen. >> aishah: new censorship claims against tiktok the social media giant banning an account with pro-democracy activist jimmie. we speak to his son right after the break. >> what we're fighting for is the first battle of the new cold war. for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee, even if it received ppp, and all it takes is eight minutes to get started. then we'll work with you to fill out your forms and submit the application; that easy. and if your business doesn't get paid, we don't get paid. getrefunds.com has helped businesses like yours claim over $2 billion but it's only available for a limited time. go to getrefunds.com, powered by innovation refunds.

>> dana: new accusations of censorship by tiktok. an account promoting the documentary called the hong konger featuring jimmie li was removed on tuesday. the "wall street journal" editorial board wrote about the suspension the following day and the account was restored hours later. a tiktok spokesperson telling the journal the account was removed in error and is available again on platform. sebastian is the son of jimmie being held unjustly by the chinese in hong kong. this -- let's talk about your dad in a moment. on the tiktok front what happened? the documentary that talks about your dad's life. >> yeah. they are really trying to

silence -- it seems they are trying to silence my father's story claiming it is an accident but it is a very -- there is something going on there. >> dana: right before this all happened, the ceo of tiktok was in front of our congress under oath saying that they don't censor and that the chinese government has no role. so how does a documentary like this actually just all of a sudden disappear from tiktok and under pressure from the "wall street journal" editorial page they put it back up? it doesn't pass the logic test. >> i completely agree. it really seems what's happening in hong kong at the moment, really does seem like they're almost going to war with democracy, with the idea of democratic ideas of freedom. i live in taiwan. >> dana: what is that like? is there tension there as well? do you feel it? >> it's -- the people there

actually are very relaxed. i think the way they think about it is sort of 01. if nothing happens everybody is happy. if it's one it's their home and they have to defend it. >> dana: your father has been in jail for how long now, 2 1/2 years? >> yes. >> dana: do you have any indication how he is doing? >> because of how broadly the national security laws, i actually haven't been able to get back to hong kong since the end of 2020 so i haven't seen him since. >> dana: do you imagine he will ever be able to get out? >> i mean, i am very hopeful that i will see him again but it would definitely not be through the hong kong legal system. there is no indication he is getting anything close to a fair trial. >> dana: is he getting any information? i want to play this for you.
