exposed and that you have come on the show and excited to do what you have in your long life that you have ahead of me. take care. >> i heard pop, pop, pop, 6 or 7 shots and people started rung. >> i was in the store and heard a couple of gunshots and ran over and everybody was laying on the ground. >> dana: a manhunt now underway after shots rang out in hollywood, florida hitting nine people, including children. the boardwalk was packed when those gunshot sent hundreds of people running for cover along the crowded beach. there was a dispute between two groups when at least one person opened fire. five adults and four juveniles were injured including a 1-year-old baby. officers detained at least one person of interest. another suspect is still on the run. unfortunately that's our morning news. coming up later this hour we'll speak live with someone who was there as that scene unfolded.

but now this. a high profile court hearing could reveal new evidence today in the deadly stabbing of cash-out founder bob lee last month in san francisco. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good morning to you. >> bill: the details on this story are really startling, too. we may learn more today. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. the suspect is back in court today for a hearing to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to bring a case to trial. they haven't revealed a motive and there could be additional evidence we haven't heard about. the suspect an iranian citizen pled not guilty. we're live in san francisco where it's the story in that town. hello, claudia. >> good morning to you. nearly two months after tech executive bob lee was murdered, there is a question now as to whether today's preliminary hearing will actually happen. that is because of a conflict that appears to be brewing between the suspect and his

high-profile attorney. while she would like more time to prepare his defense, the man says he wants to fast track his case and have his day in court as soon as possible. he pleaded not guilty to fatally stabbing lee on april 4th. surveillance video shows lee stumbling on the sidewalk and bleeding out around 2:30 a.m. the cash-out founder died on the operating table almost five hours later with alcohol, cocaine and kety mean in his system. there is suspicion he had been partying with the defendant's sister. the defendant left the apartment with lee, drove him to a secluded area and stabbed him over a dispute involving her is what is alleged. the defendant's lawyer said the stab wounds were acts of self-defense after they got into a fight. her client was shocked to learn

on the news that lee had later died. prosecutors say the knife police found at the murder scene had the defendant's dna on the handle. lee's blood on the blade and that the murder weapon likely came from a cutlery set the defendant's sister had in her kitchen. court starts in san francisco in two hours and we'll see whether today's preliminary hearing takes place as scheduled or whether it is postponed to sometime later this summer. >> bill: thanks for coming on. nine days ago we had the attorney for the accused on. she got drawn into the case because she is friends with the family. >> the d.a. is saying two things. there is d.n.a. of your client on the knife. and they are also saying the knife came from the same collection as his sister at the apartment where they were earlier that night. >> the dna on the knife, they've never produced that dna report.

i haven't been provided that report. i know what they are saying but just because a lawyer says something, we all know it doesn't make it true. >> bill: that's a fact. we'll see whether or not claudia gave us caution as to whether or not it happens today. if it does we'll learn more. >> dana: fascinating interview. she is an interesting lawyer. maybe a chance to talk to her again as well. this far left los angeles district attorney gascon's policies are back in the spotlight. his office agreed to put an attempted murder suspect on residential mental health diversion instead of in prison for slashing another man's throat. that suspect was arrested last week in connection with the murder of his neighbor. bill melugin is live in los angeles with this story. >> this is a bad one. critics of l.a. d.a. george gascon say it is an example of what can go wrong when his

policies let criminals avoid jail. this man was arrested by lap.d. after stabbing the knife of a construction worker who he thought was making too much noise. he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. sources tell me the la county probation department recommended a prison sentence with probation officer writing the defendant must be held accountable for his violent actions. the defendant's conduct is alarming and disturbing. this deputy is concerned about future violent outbursts. that was ignored. in 2021d.a. george gascon's administration agreed to give sutherland mental health diversion. a decision that proved deadly. last tuesday he was arrested again, this time for murder after police say he shot and killed his upstairs neighbor in her own apartment firing 19 times in the process.

the victim, 30-year-old jennifer gomez was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds. he had confronted her about making stomping noises in the past. i asked the office how it made any sense for the stabbing crime diversion. a court-appointed psychologist deemed him suitable for the treatment program and our prosecutor agreed to it. the court approved the treatment plan. we are saddened by the most recent allegations and hearts go out to the victims and those who loved them. releasing violent mentally unstable individuals is a disaster for public safety. >> it seems irresponsible to throw someone back out into the street who has just committed a violent felony. that's the biggest critique here. >> gascon's office told me

sutherland participated in his diversion program for two years with no issues. now ms. gomez was allegedly murdered by this man next week. >> dana: a horrible story. >> we're barreling towards an infinish ate amount of debt. the american people didn't send me here to do what the defense establishment, spending appropriators want to do in this town, spend money we don't have. >> bill: chip roy addressing his concerns about the debt limit and spending agreement. lawmakers are sizing up a 99-page document ahead of the june 5th default deadline. aishah hosni joins us from the hill now. 99 pages. that's pretty good for d.c. is that cliff notes? >> that's a good way to put it. good morning. it will be a wild and busy tuesday here on the hill. both sides trying hard to sell

this as a win for their party. pay attention to the language they are using. let's get right into what's in and what's not in this bill. starting with non-defense discrechener spending the bill brings those levels for fiscal 24 below the levels of fiscal 23. republicans are framing it as cuts back to fiscal year 22. the white house is pitching this as its fiscal year 23 levels after accounting tricks. president biden will point to the 121 billion allocated to veterans medical care to sell this. on defense spending the bill set the cap at the fiscal year 24 request allowing for a potential 1% increase for the next year. that's not good enough for some republicans like senator lindsey graham who say it doesn't even keep up with inflation. on work requirements, what's in? the age will be raised for snap, food stamps program. social security and medicaid

remain untouched. the bill also crawls back $28 billion in unspent covid funds. it resins 1.4 billion given to the i.r.s. via the inflation reduction act. that still leaves the agencies with tens of billions of dollars and conservatives don't like that. a huge sticking point with biden student loan forgiveness plan. the bill does nothing to stop that but does mandate loan payments resume in september. conservatives are angry, they say the bill is bloated. it should have had a stronger work requirement, border security measures and should have taken back all the money given to the i.r.s. >> just because the swamp is flawed doesn't mean the average hard working american should take it on the chin. the american people, the government is 40% bigger than it was pre-covid. let's go back to pre-covid levels of spending. that's what we asked for. we're not. this deal doesn't do that. >> chip roy is on the rules

committee taking up this bill today. a solid no. you need three republican nos to tank the thing before it makes it to the floor. we're watching those votes carefully today. >> bill: aishah hosni, it is not over yet. thanks for updating us. >> dana: kevin mccarthy the speaker is navigating these waters on "fox news sunday" yesterday. watch here. >> what we have found since we've take ten majority we changed this country. put in work requirements. the first congress to do less money in a congress before. we've capped the president he can't go spend 1.5 trillion. >> dana: the republicans voted unanimously all together as a group to get the negotiating position that they have and now several of them are balking. >> bill: it is all about the math. chad pergram tells us that each time. as of today they're saying they have 180 yes votes from the republicans. which means you need -- 30, 40

democrats on board. maybe they've got it, maybe they don't. >> dana: biden's team say they feel pretty confident. it is only 10:10:00 a.m. >> as a member of the jewish community of pittsburgh, i feel no responsibility to forgive robert ballast. i don't intend to give him forgiveness. >> dana: the suspect in the pittsburgh synagogue massacre is going on trial today as federal prosecutors seek the death penalty. plus this. >> the rage that fills this auditorium dance in the holy of our elementary schools and the fuel for the fight against capitalism, racism, imperialism and zionism around the world. >> bill: a new york city law school graduate attacking israel and calling for a revolution against white supremacy. that wasn't all she said. we'll tell you. >> dana: a texas high school

postpones graduation ceremonies after nearly everyone in the class fails to earn their diplomas. who is to blame here? >> this is a catastrophic failure of leadership and accountability. whoa. okay. easy does it. we switched to liberty mutual and saved $652. they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we thought we'd try electric unicycles. whoa! careful, babe! saving was definitely easier. hey babe, i think i got it! it's actually... whooooa! ok, show-off! help! oh! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> bill: chaotic scene on a beach in california. three marines attacked by a mob of 40 teens after the service members confronted them about setting off fireworks on the beach. the victims say they were walking along the beach in san cre clemente. the incident under investigation

after they were attacked. >> dana: a missing louisiana teenager in the bahamas. last wednesday cameron robbins jumped off a boat at night on a dare. during a high school graduation trip. a massive search and it has failed to turn up any signs of that boy. >> bill: wow. so opening arguments underway in the federal hate crime over the deadlyest anti-semitic attack in u.s. history. robert bauers is accused of killing 11 members of the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh synagogue in 2018. we're in pittsburgh for the trial today. eric, good morning. >> good morning. as you say, he entered that synagogue and moments ago the prosecutor said that the defendant quote walked in and began to hunt. the opening statements are now underway in the federal courthouse here in pittsburgh

behind me as the city this morning pray is for justice. family members and other con gre gather members of the synagogue arrived this morning to be in court to see this firsthand. it was on saturday, october 27, 2018, during services when the gunman burst into the synagogue opening fire. the carnage left 11 dead. they range in age from 54 to 97 years old. prosecutors say that shooter, a 50-year-old truck driver brandished guns. he expressed anti-semitic sentiments on social media the jews had committed genocide against my people and he wanted to kill all the jews. bauers defense cites mental illness and offered to plead guilty in exchange for life for bauers in prison but federal prosecutors have rejected that. if convicted bauers faces the

death penalty. the shooting has shaken this city and the american jewish community and the past few years there has been an increase in anti-semitic attacks. the anti-defamation league said last year there were 3,697, up 36%. joe rubin is the executive director of the american jewish congress. >> such a despicable act. innocent people being gunned down because they are jewish. never justice for that. there is justice in the sense of becoming clear that and making it clear that this not only was a horrible event but should never happen again. >> mr. rueben is a member of fifth generation member of a pittsburgh american jewish family. he says despite the fact that the justice system has begun here, the pain remains very real. >> bill: i'm sure. thank you, eric shawn in

pittsburgh, pennsylvania on that trial. >> dana: critics angry at a hate-filled commencement speech demanding the city university of new york be stripped of taxpayer funds. the speech called for revolution against the legal system's white supremacy and also blasted so-called fascists at the nypd and accused israel of murder. kennedy host of kennedy on fox business and abby hornacek. great to have you both. >> those who brought the ferocity of the violence and those who carry the revolution, the people, the masses, those who have the ferocity of the violence and need our protection, they will carry this revolution. the revolution that lives so loudly despite not being televised. no longer are we going to capitulate to op restors or

going to put our hope in their depraved consciousness. >> dana: that was a little outrage about that. the students voted to have her be the speaker and the university said to the "new york post" members of the class of 2023 selected student speakers who offer remarks and their own individual perspectives saying they reflect the voices of those individuals. kennedy, how do you see it? >> look what has happened there. this is the home of hunter college where we saw the unhinged art professor. not only attack a table full of pro-life students but chased a "new york post" reporter and his cameraman with a machete. she has been charged but this is a very pervasive philosophy within that entire school system. if you had voiced your opinion in the opposite. if you had called for the end of palestinians you would have been labeled a terrorist and the f.b.i. would have probably taken you into custody. people brushing it off saying

she is just expressing her free speech there are a lot of tropes here and a lot of anti-semitism which is very real. a 35% increase in anti-spell et i can attacks from the far right and left and it doesn't help matter talking about a revolution and being so anti-capitalist when she is opening her mac group, drinking a starbucks latte. >> bill: she hit capitalism, white supremacy. she was born in yemen. want to emphasize she was chosen by her classmates to make this speech. the school had to know what she was going to talk about. >> absolutely. i was going to say what kennedy said. she was chosen by the classmates. a huge issue, those are the future lawyers in new york city the men and women who chose her. if you are someone as outspoken

she is probably that outspoken in the classroom. it seems like the college itself has created this environment allowed for that type of behavior. you bring up the more recent example of that professor. she had anti-cop tattoos on her fingers. this student talked a lot about being anti-cop. she blasted the nypd and things like that. people are so outraged, too, because the taxpayers are the ones paying for this college. their budget was 4.3 billion last year. majority comes from the state. $6 hundred million comes from the city. so of course it affects the students, teachers and the parents of those students but also affects people across new york. >> dana: there was a graduation that didn't happen, kennedy in waco, texas at a high school there. texas, that school had to postpone graduation because 85% of the class failed to earn a diploma. >> bill: repeat that. >> dana: 85% of the class failed

to get a diploma with grade and attendance requirements. here is a parent who was pretty mad. watch here. >> i got a letter -- [ina [inaudible]. >> dana: consequences will extend school through june so they can graduate. >> they'll do whatever they can in the next few weeks to get some of these kids. hopefully a majority of them across the stage. they have been failed utterly by these school systems. i feel parents' frustration. a lot of times they don't let you know your student is failing and then it's too late. they are a senior and that affects the course of their entire life. >> bill: they had 33 students. only five of them qualified for graduation. that's like a major redo.

>> the thing seems like there is a lack of discipline across the country in the law system and education system. they postpone graduation and then they also moved it to a four-day academic week instead of five days the try to get students to class. the more you do that, the more the students will take advantage of that. so maybe instead focus on the trades. every part of the country needs different things. >> dana: there was news on that today. that's happening as well. great to have you. >> bill: you guys come back any time. 26 past. there is this. >> everyone knows if i'm the nominee i will beat biden and i will serve two terms and i will be able to destroy leftism in this country and leave woke ideology on the dust bin of history. >> bill: the race for the republican nomination is heating up now. candidates are hitting the road in a big way. how one of them is hoping to turn his outsider status into success and a win. mary kathryn join us on that

at one another and looked out of place. eventually it turned to this shooting. >> i'm looking at some notes from you. they were all minors. you say they were definitely outsiders and they were not regulars on the beach. >> no, definitely they came from another municipality or area. and they appeared all to be under the age of 18 from what i could tell and what others have said. >> bill: of those injured, how serious was it? >> i pulled up 3 to 4 minutes after the shots went off and there were people being triaged by the quick response of amazing first responders here in hollywood and law enforcement was on the scene in seconds. medics were charged up and having people triaged and gone within minutes. tourniquets on people's legs to

slow the bleeding and one gentleman i watched compression bandages placed on his abdomen area and rushed off in the am you about lens. >> bill: guys looking for trouble, were walking, bikes, cars? >> all on foot. the broad walk is a couple miles of pedestrian walkway and bike path and they were on foot. >> bill: sounds like they were looking for a fight. >> it appeared to be a hostile mode yes. we see people of all types, families and locals and people vacationing. they definitely didn't appear in a normal mannerism of having a family-friendly day. >> bill: you bring peace back to that beach, okay? >> that's what we will do. listen, i want to say the beach is a safe place. we have to get our people back out. i went out this morning and it

was barren. please, let's restore that safety. thank you so much. >> bill: good to get your voice on. thank you for your time. now in the race for the republican nomination viv he can ramaswamy is the outsider but can he overcome a double digit deficit in the polls. author an commentator mary kathryn with us now. thank you for coming back to our program today. great to have you. vivek, how do you rate his chances as the outsider? >> a couple of things. he is doing work on the ground as you see with some of the new hampshire endorsements he has gotten. the main thing about him he is over the target. when he talks about woke corporateism that is something that primary voters care about and have cared about for a while and he studied and wrote a book and speaking about it. he is good at it. on the other hand, he is not

super well-known. not a traditional candidate. an outside candidate. his favorables are pretty good but not well-known. that balances out. the other thing is he said in a campaign memos the other campaigns see their path as a nomination through trump and he sees his alongside trump. i wonder if it's an out and out admission what we're doing is running for v.p. instead of president. i don't see how you get to the top spot unless you go through the frontrunner. >> dana: that might have changed a little bit. let me tell you what he said to the hill on may 30th, today i guess. in many ways you get to be an outsider once. i'm the outsider in this race. i think i am closer in 2015 than trump today is today in 2015 perhaps trying to draw a distinction. >> i like it. that's a primary is about. they will have to gun for the top guy if they really want the top spot.

>> bill: okay. in north carolina, democrats are making a push. i want to show you the results from 2020. trump won the state by 1.3 points. so it is close. still considered close as well. republican consultant had a quote saying democrats are starting with a huge disadvantage and the smart ones know it. if they want to waste their money here god bless them. do you see north carolina going the same way as we've seen ohio and florida? >> it is no longer purple like it was. it has a democratic governor but he did democrats no favor during covid. the lower third of school openings. that's a topic that can turn some suburban voters and turn people who might vote democrat into people who might vote republican as we saw in virginia. a lot of -- i'm from north carolina a very liberal town. a lot of friends rejoiced in

2008. the state is blue. he only won by.7% and now trump doubled that. so things switch quickly. there is always a chance for democrats but i think it's a challenging state and roy cooper, the democratic governor calling a state of emergency to thwart his duly elected legislature on school choice, maybe not the right move for appealing to suburban voters. i don't know. >> dana: it seemed like an overreaction. earlier in the show jacque hein reich, our white house reporter, said the biden campaign is actually going to look different. they don't plan to do a lot of travel. they will use a lot of surrogates and famous people. celebrities to try to get this across the finish line. can biden win north carolina if he doesn't make frequent trips to north carolina? >> look, that's how he won last time and how he won the race last time. i don't blame them for trying. i don't think it's a great idea.

a lot of people made exceptions and didn't feel like they needed to see the candidate out and about. i don't think that's the case anymore. if you are uphill you need to be on the trail and showing people you care about the things they care about and showing people that oops, sorry about the school closings for 18 months when the rest of the south didn't do that. you have to make those arguments. i don't know if just having celebrities get it done in a red tilting state. >> bill: we'll talk again very soon. thanks for your time. >> take care, y'all. >> this was a brazen fraud in which she defrauded not only investors but put patients in harm's way. >> dana: elizabeth holmes due to report to her new digs today, a federal prison in texas. she was convicted of fraud and conspiracy charges after she defrauded investors in her blood

>> dana: 18 years ago today

natalee holloway disappeared. now van der sloot is being charged with extorting her mother for money for information on her remains. now his lawyers are saying he was severely beaten in a foreign jail. what impact could it have on his extradition? paul mauro? do you think he suffered a beating in the jail >> i'm skeptical. as you relate he originally claimed he was going to identify the location of natalee holloway's remains. he extorted -- he tried to extort $250,000 out of her mother. he got about $25,000 before revealing later that he didn't know where she was. in fact, the house he said she was buried under wasn't even there at the time of the murders. so he has pulled every ploy he can to game the system. right now he is doing 28 years in peru for a second homicide. they never got him on the

natalee holloway case. apparently the investigation in aruba was a bit slipshod. he is being extradited from peru and tried on the ex portion and fraud charges here. this is all alabama can get him on. they'll use it. no matter what the result is down in alabama, he then goes back to peru, do another 15 years. we can't get him in prison no matter what the result for another 15 years. hopefully he gets convicted in alabama and doesn't see the light of day to hurt another young woman. >> bill: nancy grace was talking about the peruvian jail systems. see trying to divorce a wife with whom he shares a daughter right now after he was behind bars. >> he managed a kid while he was locked up and now saying publicly that he wants to divorce her to get a younger and

prettier wife. that's his statement. there is no accounting for this stuff. serial killers throughout history and he appears to be one in my estimation. they have this fascination for women. according to his lawyer he still gets dozens of mail and money from all over the world from women in love with him. >> dana: he went to jail. someone who hasn't gone to jail yet is elizabeth holmes of theranos. she defrauded investors. said she had a great new technology and she didn't. she has been slow walking this trip to a prison in texas. i think we have a call here that shows the timeline which shows how much she has been able to delay. she has had two children since all of this. but apparently do you think today elizabeth holmes goes to jail? >> i do. i think her luck has run out. she looking at federal time as well. different federal time than van der sloot. she will be in a minimum security jail in texas.

it is prison. she is looking at 11 years with time off for good behavior. she'll get 9 1/2. the woman lives in a multi-million dollar mansion and on the cover of the "new york times" style magazine and now going to go to making $0.12 an hour in a prison kitchen wearing a khaki uniform with the other perps in there. what's interesting about her is that she has that thing that all great con artists, i use great in quotes have. they succeed because people want to believe it. well ponzi or madoff. people believe it because they think they will get rich. in her case they wanted to believe it for altruistic reason. she had to give back $5 hundred million what she and her co-defendant in the case owe. they all believed it because they thought it was great.

one drop of blood and we will be able to screen for all of these diseases. the problem was it never worked. all of the scientists who were consulted on it said this thing can't work. but it was like a mass delusion. everybody wanted it to be true. >> bill: she drew a lot of rich and influential people in her scheme. >> ultimately it was all a fraud. >> dana: thank you for coming in. >> bill: duty, honor and country, the latest class of west point graduates looking to the future in their service to the nation. we'll talk to one of those newly minted officers looking back at his four years at the academy. a heartwarming scene at the zoo in louisville. check it out. ♪

>> dana: russian officials say drones hit several buildings in moscow overnight including residential blocks claiming the strikes on ukrainian forces. if it's true it would mark ukraine's first attack on civilian areas deep inside russia since the war began 15 months ago. ukraine hasn't yet claimed responsibility. some of the drones were shot down over a district that houses the city's political and business elite. we'll pay attention to the story for you. >> bill: we will. aaron rodgers is not only a new new york jet but also a fan of t. swifty. the news jets quarterback getting down over the weekend at a taylor swift concert. check it out. he was having fun, dana. see him back there in the t-shirt? he is jamming. >> dana: he just loves new york. >> bill: he and elon musk, wow. at metlife stadium in new jersey where rogers will play his home game with the jets. saw aaron rodgers at the

kentucky derby, not the drop names. >> dana: he has been going around. >> bill: he said how are you liking new york? he was having a good time. at rangers and knicks games. if they were paying us that kind of cash we would do the same thing. >> dana: all right. you might have noticed a joyous weekend as west point. the latest crop of cadets earning their stripes to enter military service. before his graduation our next guest wrote a letter to himself about things he wishes he had known when he started this journey as a freshman. part of that letter. you will recognize that none of the course work you completed, shots you took or formations you had matter at all. the greatest leadership lessons will be learn from those around you and you will love and cherish them for the rest of your life. to be blunt you will be nothing without these relationships. everything else pales in compareson. a lot of wisdom there. newly commissioned second lieutenant spencer gillis, wonderful to have you. what made you write the letter?

>> well, ma'am, i guess it is quite simple. the athletic department every year asks graduating seniors to write a letter to themselves reflecting on their experience at the academy and then they publish that as inspiration for incoming recruits or younger athletes on the team. it was somewhat of an assignment, i guess. >> dana: how different might your experience have been if you had known the things you know now when you started four years ago? >> well, i think probably my -- maybe my class rank wouldn't have been as high and maybe things would have shaken out differently what my first duty assignment was or what job i got. not that there is any regret. i think i look back and i would have a lot more experience that, you know, i really valued. as i graduated a lot of the bad memories flew away and just the good memories that are left.

>> dana: do you anticipate the relationships and friendships that you made during these years will be ones that you keep in the long haul? >> absolutely, ma'am. the 47 month experience feels like 470 months or something like that. it is a really long time but we've all struggled together and experienced hardship together and i think that has brought all of us really close, especially my teammates on the rifle team or company mates throughout my time at the academy. even though we may not see each other regularly we'll definitely keep in touch and reaching out to each other and hopefully meeting up from time to time. >> dana: for those watching who might be thinking about the polarization in the country or worried about things that we're facing, there are a lot of challenges ahead for america. i think you struck quite an optimistic tone about the future and maybe share a little bit of that with us from your

perspective as a newly graduated west point. >> as you mentioned, looking back on it, none of the things that my former self really cared about really ended up being the less impactful thing that developed me into the leader i am today. the people at west point and i'm sure and hope going into the army as well made every minute worth it and the army especially but the military at large is a very unique place. you won't find people like that to work with anywhere else just because the level of responsibility is so high. and some of the things you do are just so difficult that it's going to create bonds that are closer than just about anything else you could find. >> dana: and tell everybody what is the very next thing you are going to do that is a major life step? >> so in just a few weeks here, four weeks from today i'll be getting married to my high school sweetheart, anna.

>> dana: congratulations to you, lieutenant gillis, thank you for being with us and we look forward to seeing all you do in your wonderful life ahead of you. thank you. excited about his future. >> bill: life moments. >> dana: things he wants to do. >> bill: you will be nothing without relationships, everything else pales in comparison. that's true. before we go i have something. tell me if you've seen this before. heartwarming moment at zoo in louisville, kentucky. check it out. we'll roll it for you. >> bill: did you know he spotted oh newborn baby. they are known to be doting mothers and can take up to ten years to raise their young. i did not know that. >> dana: i love that. i thought we had this on one more thing but we didn't. my sister sent that to me. that's how you saw it.

very sweet. >> bill: it was new to you. >> dana: it is new to me. i wanted to clarify the record or else i would be in trouble. you wonder if it would be gentle if the glass wasn't there? maybe. it's a risk. >> bill: sweet shot. hope you had a great memorial day weekend. dana is back at 5:00 today. >> dana: right now you'll see gillian turner in for harris faulkner. >> gillian: fox news alert to kick off the hour. drone strikes in two capital cities as putin's war intensifies overnight. moscow was hit hours after kiev faced a barrage of fire. "the faulkner focus", i'm gillian turner in for harris today in washington. that blast coming during broad daylight as moscow claims most of the incoming drones were
