charlie and abby. it's a tie. they did so well. >> they did well. >> they landed on their feet. >> is anybody hurt? everybody okay? >> bye, everyone. >> bill: good morning, everybody. a new day on the southern border. the policy that made it easy to kick out migrants, title 42, is officially gone. it ended at midnight last night. thousands of asylum seekers waiting for this moment to happen. the mass of humanity will everywham border agents and national guardsmen for days, weeks or months to come. here in new york to a case reigniting the debate on public safety. the u.s. marine who put a homeless man in a choke hold 11 days ago has surrendered to

police and inside that police station as we speak. good morning. it's friday. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: a lot of news on friday. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." moments ago danny penny surrendered to police in manhattan expected to appear in court in a few hours. prosecutors will charge him with second degree manslaughter and it could put him in jail for up to 15 years. >> bill: penny is the marine who put jordan neely in a choke hold on a new york subway on the first of may. witnesses say neely was acting aggressively toward passengers repeatedly. his death was ruled a homicide. penny says he was trying to protect the passengers and did not mean to kill him. >> dana: the case putting tremendous pressure on manhattan district attorney alvin bragg opting to charge penny without convening a grand jury. the decision is all about politics critics say. >> this marine was trying to

save those individuals on that subway. i guarantee you every one of those individuals will testify on his behalf and that's the issue here. but this is all politically motivated based on race. >> dana: retired inspector paul mauro has reaction. let's go to laura engel at the precinct in new york. >> good morning. daniel penny arrived on time at nypd 's precinct an hour ago. the former marine surrendered to police with his attorneys to face criminal charges that could bring him years of prison if convicted. he did not answer any questions as he walked in, though we tried. the manhattan district attorney's office making the announcement that penny would be arrested on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree and taken to the courthouse by law enforcement where he will be arraigned this afternoon. that cell phone video showing penny restraining neely in a choke hold on a subway led to

calls for penny arrest after the medical examiner ruled it a homicide. witnesses said neely known for impersonating michael jackson was well-known to homeless outreach workers and police and according to the "new york post" had been arrested and charged multiple times before. witnesses on board the train last week said neely was yelling and threatening passengers before penny placed him in a choke hold. penny's attorney said the marine veteran surrendered with his his tre of service to this great nation. protestors have been on the streets demanding charges against penny calling neely's death a murder. the protest at the times during violent add disruptive. the foreign for neely's family will hold a news conference in a few hours. if penny is found guilty he could face up to 15 years in prison. he is still inside the fifth precinct. we'll bring you more as we get

it in lower manhattan. >> bill: inspector paul mauro has been on the story from the beginning. what's the expectation? they waited 11 days. he faces charges. what changeded? >> i think your prior reporter got it accurate. alvin bragg and the system in the city caved to political pressure. alvin bragg is the face of this thing at this point. he did not act alone. he turned himself into the fifth precinct did mr. penny. the police department is making this arrest. we didn't go to grand jury. this was a rush to action for lack of a better term and the police department doesn't take this action unilaterally. it came from the mayor's office. the system playing out in a judicious way would have been investigate the facts, gather video, there is more video out there. take the time to do a whole investigation and go to a grand jury. what you do in a case like this.

instead they did this, which was a rush to action. there is no way the p.d. did it alone. bragg himself in a box with this. under new criminal justice reforms he only has 20 days to get all his material to the defense, 20 days from arraignment is the rule. now bragg has to act a lot more quickly than he would have. now all of this stuff is going the play out in the media and in the public sphere before it gets to a grand jury. he still has to do it. we'll have trial by media before it ever gets to a grand jury and weakens his case. they should have done it the way the system is supposed to work. they couldn't take the pressure of 15 kids with green hair jumping on a subway track and protesting. there is no way that those kids jump onto a live subway track and hope that the train stops. that entire thing was staged. i don't know how they colluded it but it doesn't happen. you have kids jumping on the

third rail. you don't do that unless you know the thing is off. more photographers than people on the tracks. so i have to tell you, as a resident of this he feel played. >> dana: what about the toxicology report an two other individuals who helped penny to subdue jordan neely. >> they aren't charged as accessories or anything like that. there is a narrative they want to build. race is part of it obviously. you get these things like trying to bring the poll it into it by saying where was the police response. if you look at the photos, the police are the ones there trying to revive him before the medical folks get there. the police response i'm sure was as fast as it could be. in transit there is not a cop in every transit stop of course. this is not a heavily trafficked stop. they had to come from a couple stops away. it doesn't work for them not to have the police in this thing so they have to drag the police in and probably why you don't get the other two people you are

talking about and why we aren't getting the toxicology report. it is not back yet. they couldn't wait for that. they had to make the arrest now without getting all the facts because i suspect the tox report is not back. another reason to wait for the grand jury. >> bill: life has changed this new york since covid we can admit that. homeless every day, neely was one of them. his family put out a statement saying daniel penny's press release is not an apology but a character assassination and why he believed he was entitled to take jordan's life. here are the past interactions with law enforcement for the man who is now deceased. 42 prior arrests. four of them for assault. some transit fraud and criminal trespass and one active arrest warrant for him. how does that play into this case? >> you know, let's take a more macro view. this is one of those cases that i believe is going to become somewhat iconic in new york city

history. you get them every now and then. bernie getz. it captures what is going on in the city. $8 hundred million from the deblasio administration to mental health services. $240 million in fiscal 2024. none seems to be getting to any of the people needing the help. really what's happened here is that when you pull back from the public sphere in terms of public safety, you get a vacuum. and all of the folks who are responsible for that pullback, aoc, bragg, etc. , etc. you know the characters at play. now are the ones scrambling to put this arrest on penny asap because they're responsible for this pullback in public safety. that public safety has to be somehow or other enforced by private citizens. we have had it throughout history and we're seeing it again. >> dana: paul mauro, thank you.

we'll find out more later today. >> he will enter a plea of not guilty certainly. they went for the top charge, man two. like i said by time it gets to the grand jury who knows what's going to happen? >> dana: you have been reporting regularly on it. >> we're following the case closely. >> dana: also the dawn of a new era at the southerner border with the end of title 42. tens of thousands getting the green light to cross into the u.s. without restrictions in place for three years. communities both near and far from the border are declaring states of emergency. bill melugin live in brownsville, texas. how does it look this morning, bill? >> i can tell you we were out here at midnight as title 42 finally expired. though we never saw a large rush of migrants. now it is daylight and we're waiting to see what the day brings. take a look at the video last night. we were with a group of four republican senators as they received a tour of the area in brownsville from the border

patrol union. they took us down to the main cringes area where we've seen thousands of people crossing in recent days. that area has been sealed off by the texas national guard with all sorts of razor wire. we were with all of these senators as title 42 dropped at midnight. we did not see a huge expected rush. what we did see was all the migrant camps across the river with migrants in them and music playing from across the river. here is what senator ted cruz told me. >> there are 22,000 illegal immigrants on the other side of matamoros. fires and music going and they're partying because title 42 is ending and all 22,000 will invade this country. joe biden and the kamala harris will take them to every city in america. >> that huge predicted rush has not yet materialized. it doesn't mean it won't happen at some point. still thousands of migrants in

mexico who have been gathering there. this is what we saw last night. we sent a photographer to matamoros. they saw this across the river. texas national guard. barbed wire telling them not to cross. one guy got in the water and make an attempt. a stand-off all night. one guy makes it over. texas is taking a new posture blocking people and they are not letting people in. the migrants were chanting and again we didn't see a large rush last night. but there is a possibility it will happen. look at the last piece of video. migrant shelters across mexican border cities are completely at capacity with migrants who have shown up. tens of thousands of migrants in mexico border cities still waiting. they're in a holding pattern right now. title 42 is gone and now it appears these migrants are waiting, deciding what they want to do next. we're just going to keep an eye on that. back out here live a major decision taking place last night.

late last night a federal judge in florida blocked the biden administration from being able to do their mass parole releases of migrants. parole release means they don't get a court date. they are asked to turn themselves into ice within 60 days. the biden administration argued in court saying we need this policy. if we can't have it we'll have 45,000 people in custody by the end of the month. disease could spread because of overcapacity issues and catastrophic consequences. federal judge said nope, you can't do it. this is largely a problem of your own making. we'll send it back to you. >> dana: can i ask you yesterday secretary mayokas said something he said repeatedly but took on additional significance as he said it yesterday. >> i want to be very clear. our borders are not open. people who cross our border unlawfully and without a legal basis to remain will be promptly processed and removed. >> dana: how do the cartels

listen to a message like that? how do they react? >> well look, what they tell the migrants is if you get here, you have a very good chance of being released. when secretary mayokas says if you cross illegally you'll be processed and quickly removed put an asterisk next to that. it is the case for some people. right now a majority of people are released into the country. what happens is because they're so over capacity and diplomatic relations with different countries, once people get here they are typically released with a future court date. because of how back logged everything is it can be years down the road. the cartels are able to advertise off that. the migrants know that. they told us that in interviews if they can just get here they believe they will be released and if you just walk to downtown brownsville now go to the bus station and venezuelan men with dhs packets and government cell phones all over the place waiting to get on a bus toggles where around the country.

mass releases are taking place and it is part of the biden administration's policy. >> bill: you are several hundred miles of yuma, arizona. in brownsville where you are located is where they put the razor wire up this week and governor abbott ordered other officers to respond along that river. it seemed to have stopped some of that flow. has it? >> yeah, they've essentially plugged it up. the first few days this week you guys saw the drone images we were putting up. it was a free for all at this spot. lines of several hundred people crossing with 0 resistance. a couple days ago that specialized texas national guard response force showed up with riot gear and razor wire and they changed their posture. they are blocking people from entering now. we have never seen them do that before. these migrants are coming across expecting to be let in and instead greeted by rows of razor

wire and troopers standing there saying you aren't coming in. now they are likely have to find another area to cross and the cartels and smuggling organizations will have to take a minute to figure out how to approach this. will they find somewhere else to go? texas only has a limited amount of resources. it goes to show the difference in posture between the state of texas actively blocking people and the federal government which sent troops down here to do paperwork. >> dana: bill melugin, we'll see you more this afternoon. thank you. >> bill: all throughout the day. title 42 was new because of covid. it's gone. a law called title eight that has always been in effect and make you more familiar with that next hour when we show you some numbers down there on the border. stunning, too. that's coming up. fox news alert now. rocket fire overnight raining down on israel. this is what the past 36 hours have looked like in that part of the middle east. palestinians militants launched more than 800 rockets into israel in a matter of hours. >> dana: a survey of voters in a

key swing state saying president biden should debate his democratic challenger. what that says about the president's case for re-election. >> an outbreak of tornadoes overnight. what folks are waking up to in that part of the country coming up. >> wow, oh my goodness. oh my goodness. oh, the house. oh, a whole house. >> a house got lofted. right, you have to do it yourself. in 2015, my dad had the idea to revitalize american textile manufacturing with bedding crafted from cotton grown on our family farm. we created red land cotton to give you the best farm, the home products possible. because it's more than quality products. it's a labor of love from our family. go to redland cotton dot com and receive 15% off your order with code fox news. my name is brian delallo. i teach ap and honors economics in pittsburgh, pennsylvania.

>> dana: federal agents have arrested a u.s. citizens accused of spying for the chinese communist party. he was sharing information with beijing on political dissidents in boston. the 63-year-old man has been indicted for acting as an agent of a foreign government without notice to the u.s. he has been spying for the ccp since 2018. >> bill: michael mccaul getting ready to hit secretary of state blinken with a contempt of congress charge. this after blinken missed yesterday's deadline to hand over a key memo from before the disastrous afghanistan withdrawal. that document a classified cable from the state department employees warning that the taliban would rapidly take over after the u.s. departed.

remember, this is mid-august of that year now in those two weeks are super critical. >> dana: i don't understand why they don't comply with it. the white house told us there was no chaos there a month ago. okay, then can we just see the document then? that would be fine. we would love to see it. all right. the national institutes of health has reinstated a controversial taxpayer funded grant to eco health alliance. remember that group? that nonprofit funneled money to virus research in wuhan ahead of the pandemic. the trump administration suspended the grant in april of 2020. what's going on here? rich edson is live in washington. >> critics accuse eco health of funding risky research where scientists manipulate viruses to study them and develop treatments. eco health denies it is involved in gain-of-function research. three years after the trump administration suspended this research grant the national institutes of health is bringing it back according them more than

$2 million over the next four years. some in congress are demanding that the government rescind it. >> look, if eco health were a university, the ncaa would have taken them from scholarships and further competition. i can't believe nih is giving them more grants. >> eco health funded research at the wuhan institute of neurology. the u.s. intelligence community is split whether the pandemic began naturally or accidentally escaped from the lab. china has blocked any investigation. this time nih has set strict conditions. this grant includes stringent stipulations that assure it doesn't provide funding for research in china or live animals. to understand animal viruses

that have the potential to cause disease, research that made it possible for the u.s. government to move so quickly to respond to the covid-19 pandemic. eco health says because of the intense public interest around this type of research, it will take the unusual step of releasing the full details of this grant. >> dana: rich edson with the update in d.c. thank you. >> bill: the state of maine expects a record number of tourists this summer. like many popular destinations businesses are strapped for workers and hanging the old help wanted signs out in the window. madison is live in portland to get a check on that. what are they telling you? good morning. >> good morning. tourism season around the corner. the good weather has shown up but the workers not so much. 70% of businesses in maine say they do not have enough employees for the high season. that is not good news because, as you said, this is supposed to be a record-breaking summer in terms of crowds.

tour companies like portland discovery say they are still looking for help. when it comes to their ticket sellers for their boat and trolley tours they normally have 12. right now they only have six. that's leaving money on the table at the most important time of year. >> because we're seasonal, we have to make a year's living in six months, so it's very important. not like we can say well, we'll wait, come november things will get better. there is no november for us. october 31st we're done. if we don't hire enough people and we have to turn business away, it will absolutely affect our bottom line. >> even with that kathy counts herself lucky. she knows some businesses have less than 50% of their employees needed across the board. some of those businesses will be forced to close down because it is simply not worth it anymore. >> i think that some of them actually closed down because they were working harder than they've worked before.

that's something that i have heard from everybody throughout the industry. the last several years they've never worked harder before to keep up. >> so work like this used to be really strong for high school students, college students. kathy says those folks aren't showing up. if they do they aren't exactly qualified. now what kathy and her husband do on any day is work the boat, drive the trolley or work the ticket stand depending what the needs are. >> bill: let's see how it goes. patience maybe. >> dana: she won the assignment lottery. >> bill: thank you, madison. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: you might not know this the man widely regarded as the greatest quarterback ever will take a final bow in new england. we think it will be final. patriots owner bob craft says the team will honor tom brady at the home opener in september. brady let the pats to six super bowl victories before going to tampa bay and winning how many

there? >> seven super bowls in total. six for new england. >> dana: he retired for the second time last february. this time is for good he said. these rumors persist that he might go to the dolphins. not this, the year after. >> bill: i don't think it's happening. cool they will recognize him. the nfl came out with their season schedule so everybody knows when they are playing and when. >> dana: i know who is playing on christmas. giants and eagles. i watch "fox & friends." >> bill: i didn't know that. good game. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: how about bengals and chiefs on new year's eve. cincinnati at kansas city. >> dana: are you going to be there? >> don't know yet. the prime suss tecti in the natalee holloway case, will he face justice on u.s. soil? we have new details on his case after 18 years when natalee

disappeared. >> is this possible, steve forbes has an answer to a new edict from the biden administration. this is going to be great. taking the shawl off. okay i did it. is he looking at my hairline? my joint pain isn't too bad. well, it wasn't this morning. i hope i can get through this. is plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin. otezla is also proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain in psoriatic arthritis. and no routine blood tests required. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting.

>> dana: sirens blaring overnight as tornadoes touched down in oklahoma. thankfully no one hurt. some homes and businesses were damaged and power lines were down. meanwhile temperatures are heating up in the pacific northwest. seattle and portland are on excessive heat watches this weekend with temps expected in the 90s, that hot for there. >> bill: biden administration pushing its climate agenda with new aggressive rules with a capital a.

they require most fossil fuel power plants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by the year 2040 or they'll be shut down. new rules rely on rarely used carbon capture technology for those cuts. editor and chief for forbes, steve forbes, here. no wonder senator manchin said i will block all your proposals on the epa. is this possible? >> absolutely not. this is the biggest power grab in american history. they aren't going through congress. they are destroying an industry. taking over industries. every modern convenience making sure you can't use, dishwashers, washing machines, air conditioners, any gas stoves. it is an unprecedented power grab and they have no justification for it. i a lot of these will go to the supreme court. supreme court will do what they did with west virginia versus the epa and say you want to do something big like using tailpipes to wreck the oil industry you have to go through

congress. this thing doesn't work. germany has 2 to 3 time the cost of energy we do in this country because they went this route. they didn't go as far as biden is proposing. >> dana: yesterday the epa said this time it is legal. even the supreme court just said that it wasn't. what's different? >> there is no difference. they use any strategy they can. since they have the right to do tailpipe emissions they can use that thing to do the whole industry. wreck the whole industry. >> dana: what are we doing to ourselves as a country? >> historians will look back and wonder where was the sun and moon. this hysteria not based on science. the last 20 years we've spent $5 trillion on so-called alternatives. renewables. the amount of fossil fuel energy in the world has gone from 86 to 84%. 2% reduction for $5 trillion. imagine if that was used for

clean water, new products and services. monumental waste and it doesn't work as we see in europe. if you try to go through this you'll rip up the whole earth lithium. where will that come from? >> bill: the debt ceiling you can make interesting. they were going to meet today. the principle players will not. jamesfreeman right the danger trying to avoid obama's mistake the white house threatens another blunder from a misreading of recent history. the in the won't attend the meeting today. perhaps progress being made. >> the fact that he met with speaker mccarthy saying i'm not going to negotiate tells you all you need to know. staffs are starting to feel each other out about what can be done and so the fact that mccarthy got this thing through the house of representatives, that gives a real clout in negotiations that wouldn't have been if he just came with a proposal. i think you will see something

done. and what biden doesn't realize if something goes back the captain of the ship he will have to take the responsibility. he was in charge and he fumbled badly. >> dana: the other night at the town hall debate president trump was asked about the debt ceiling and told house republicans to let it go. he said that wouldn't be a political problem for them. i don't know if that's true. but what actually happens if there is a default to everybody in america is not good, right? >> in terms of default, the government has the wiggle room. they have lawyers there. they can still continue to pay bills. they still continue to pay interest on the national debt. there is no need for a default. so if they stop paying the interest it's because they made a political decision, not really a legal decision. >> bill: so he was saying it was more psychological than anything else. trump's point the other night. many democrats believe obama should have never agreed to negotiate with republicans over

the debt ceiling in 2011. they believe it would be a big mistake to do so now. if mr. biden's withdrawal from negotiating with congress turns out to be the equivalent of his withdrawal from afghanistan is it possible to overstate the risks? end quote. >> it shows this administration is throwing aside all sense of responsibility. even in 2011 you had harry reed who headed the democrats. no lover of republicans. mcconnell and others saying you have to do something. they went to the president. here is the deal and do it. they fine le did something and cut the budget by $9 hundred bill over an eight-year period. the journal pointed out the last ten debt ceiling negotiations there have been seven negotiations. the american people understand

we can't keep spending. the lack of stature for america because we aren't getting our act together instead of the president going before the nation to say here is what we have to do. he is part of the problem. >> bill: smart of him to cut a deal. he saw the numbers the other day. >> dana: do you think he will? >> i think so, yes. >> bill: that might be the joe biden of 1992. we'll see. thank you, steve. nice to see you, steve forbes. >> dana: new york city is preparing to take in more than 1,000 migrants per day now that title 42 is over. nate foye is live at the port authority. it feels almost incomprehensible, nate. >> it does, dana. but that's the number that is expected and we're already seeing some of that this morning in the past few hours we saw two buses from laredo, texas arrive at the port authority station behind me. there were 93 migrants on board. a fraction of the expected daily count now that title 42 is over. look at this group that arrived

a few hours ago. a mixture of men, women, and children. normally here in new york city these families would be guaranteed their own private space with a bedroom, kitchen and bed. now because the city is so overrun, mayor eric adams is suspending parts of the city's right to shelter law. he is talking about that. >> not to put the children and families in dormitory settings. our desire is to manage a humanitarian crises. >> as of the last count, which was wednesday night, the city had 39,400 migrants in its care. the number likely over 40,000 now. the mayor's office is clear they cannot handle anymore. both mayor adams and new york city's public advocate say president biden needs to do more. >> i am asking president biden to please step up here. do not ignore new york city. we cannot handle the immigration problem all on our own.

it is unfair to ask new york city to do that. >> over the past year new york city has turned over 130 hotels to emergency migrant shelters. if the numbers continue to skyrocket as expected with the end of title 42 the city confirms they're considering every possible solution, including housing migrants on residential streets. we'll send it back to you. >> dana: nate foye, thank you. >> bill: that hotel issue is a big deal not only in the city. >> dana: 130 hotels? >> in long island you find a lot, too. the default position on this could be tents in central park. >> dana: i know. >> bill: it may come to that. courthouse in downtown new york city, the u.s. marine who put a homeless man in a choke hold is there now with police. he will face a judge for the first time hours from now and we'll watch it and bring you updates as we get them. new revelations in the hunter biden probe. what emails show his divorce

>> dana: take a look. we're keeping an eye on this for you. daniel penny is expected to leave the nypd precinct shortly. the retired marine who is being

arraigned today on second degree manslaughter after he put jordan neely in a choke hold on the subway. we expect to see him at any moment. don't know if he will say anything or his lawyer will but we'll bring it to you live if he does. >> bill: watch that door. we shall, too. demanding a democratic debate. a new focus group revealing some swing voters in georgia want president biden to go toe-to-toe with robert f. kennedy junior. shannon bream, host of "fox news sunday." good morning on a friday morning. here we go. what is the chance that these two men are on a debate stage together? >> i don't think it's very strong, but it is interesting because there are calls across the board coming for some kind of conversation about this. axios talked to a group of georgia swing voters about what they wanted to see and whether they would vote democrat or where they would go. they want to see some kind of

debate. one of the folks they talked to said i want to know whoever will be my president will be able to come up with company hereent facts, no flash cards or help. i want to see it happen on the primary stage. rfk junior's name keeps coming up. our polling showed 19% of democratic primary voters said they would pick him over president biden. there is a hunger and thirst there for this. i can't imagine -- >> dana: do you think that 19% comes from people who would have preferred bernie sanders to be their nominee last time around? >> it's possible. when it comes down to it if we have a rematch of 2020 do they stay home or say i'll pick president biden over president trump? it is a good question. i don't know. the fact that he showed up so strong i think gave a white house a little pause. >> bill: "new york times" opinion piece writes. the manufactured panic over biden's age. he goes on to say breathless headlines that created a sense

of worry about the president's age is common knowledge and common sense. when it is in part fueled by political manipulation and media complicity to which my partner, dana marie perino said during the commercial break. >> dana: these stories have been going on in the "new york times" itself for months. i remember last july reading a whole piece about anonymous democrats, ones that would be worthy of quoting in the paper according to the reporter, saying that he is too old to run. i can't make it up. >> bill: it was more succinct than that. she said i read about it in your paper. >> right. the editorial board not long ago had a headline saying voters were concerned about president biden's age and he should listen and be aware. this piece says is it a chicken or egg situation? we're getting the headlines and it then becomes a story because

we've made it one. that is his question. he says it's fair to ask about fitness for people. 63% of people in the new poll said they were worried about the mental fitness of the current president to continue in the job. he says listen, it is out there but is it because we're pulling on it and asking and making headlines and the gop is hammering it? he seems to say judge a person based on their ability to do the job and let's stop with the panic attack over these headlines. >> dana: the age thing, you saw a huge contrast. anybody who has seen president biden in the last two weeks since he announced his campaign for re-election and compare it to donald trump who you saw on cnn at the town hall wednesday night and president trump just does appear to be decades younger and ready to go. vibrant and people can see that with their own eyes. they don't need "the new york times" to tell them that. >> he acknowledges that in his piece. everybody ages differently.

somebody 80 can be vigorous and intellectually plugged in. the supreme court we ask them to do an inelectric to all job and they're well past the retirement age for several americans. some people can be worn out and down at 50. i don't think we're past our prime and we should be judged individually. >> bill: byron donalds, the congressman from florida is your guest over the weekend. you have an excellent guest here. he was front and center for the hunter biden press conference the other day. went on cnn the other night after the town hall defending trump forcefully. he knows what he wants to say before he comes on tv. we'll check that out on sunday. thank you, shannon. >> thanks. see you guys. >> dana: elon musk announcing he has hired someone to replace him as head of twitter. what it means for the future of the platform. a.i. in the classroom. can the technology be used to

one. now, i mean, we're beyond a breaking point right here. >> this is a serious situation when you are a female and alone. scary down here. >> i have a gun always and i have dogs with me. if it wasn't for dogs there would be some scary days for us out here. we're on a big place with no help. >> dana: people who live along the southern border all too familiar with the chaos down there. now that title 42 is over and stage set for more chaos they expect things to get a lot worse. unfortunately for them. welcome in a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. time is up. title 42 is expired. tens of thousands of migrants are massed along the border ready to cross. secretary mayokas saying 24,000 agents are ready to handle it insisting the border is not open. >> smugglers have been long hard at work spreading false informat
