>> all right, more information go to dart -- new york dart league.com. >> great job. >> dana: that's a sound of a sonic boom ringing out across washington caused by a group of f-16s racing to intercept a small plane that later crashed in virginia. good morning, i'm dana perino. bill hemmer is off today. bill melugin with me. >> bill: great to be with you. you still get a bill today. this is "america's newsroom." that crash killed all four
6:01 am
people on board the private plane was flying from tennessee to new york. instead of landing it made a sudden u turn and set off alarm bells. >> dana: it breached the no-fly zone over the capitol. the fighter jets tried to flag down the plane but the pilot was unresponsive and ultimately crashed in virginia. >> bill: scroti brenner is here with analysis. jennifer griffin is joining us live from the pentagon. >> well, it was a moment of high drama in washington, d.c. that shook the capitol. new details on who was on board that flight. a 49-year-old was on board with her 2-year-old daughter and nanny, the daughter of john and barbara rumpel. barbara serves on the executive committee of the nra women's leadership forum in florida. my family is gone, my daughter
6:02 am
and granddaughter, rumpel wrote in a post. the plane was registered to encore motors of melbourne, florida. their other daughter died in a scuba diving accident. the cessna took off from elizabethton, tennessee en route to long island, new york when it did a 180 degree turn in new york and began flying back down the east coast. it was then when it began approaching washington, d.c., which is a restricted area, that norad scrambled four f-16 fighter jets. two from new jersey and two from the d.c. air national guard. the president was golfing at andrews at the time. the two pilots from the air national guard requested permission to fly at supersonic speed to intercept the cessna. permission was granted.
6:03 am
a sonic boom was then heard over d.c. and as far away as maryland. windows and walls shook. quote, the civilian aircraft was intercepted at approximately 3:20 p.m. eastern time. pilot was unresponsive and the cessna subsequently crashed near the george washington national forest in virginia. norad attempted to establish contact with the pilot until it crashed. they fired flares to get the attention of the pilot and watched the plane go down in the mountains in southwest virginia in the george washington national forest. quote, security posture at the capitol was raised briefly during the incident. norad said its pilots did not shoot down the cessna. the flares which could be seen with the naked eye from the ground were fired to get the attention of the unresponsive pilot. the plane was on autopilot when it crashed. the pilot may have suffered a
6:04 am
medical incident or hypoxia. ntsb is investigating the cause of the crash. there were no survivors, bill. >> bill: jennifer griffin live in d.c. tragic situation. >> dana: let's bring in scott brenner, executive vice president as crossroad strategies. a very tragic end for this family. >> bill: it is troubling when you hear with all the advances we've made in aircraft safety, something like this happens and still unclear exactly what happened. you know, that plane took off, got to cruising altitude and never lost that altitude until it crashed in virginia. so obviously a lot of questions here. my biggest question is, air traffic control, i would like to hear what they were saying. as early as 20 to 30 minutes after the flight took off people were trying to contact this
6:05 am
aircraft and getting no response. there is a lot of questions there. obviously a tragedy. >> bill: this airplane appeared to make a stark 180 in the air. we'll look at the flight plan. it was supposed to land near long island and it gets to the new york and literally does a u turn. what would explain that plane just banking around, turning around and heading directly over the u.s. capitol if it was on autopilot? >> sure. when you set the autopilot you are setting for a destination. the destination was mcarthur in islip. it will take you to the threshold of the runway. they were probably vectored into that runway, set that autopilot and why the plane makes the turn. it is lining up for landing. and then once the autopilot does not control altitude, just
6:06 am
direction. it was at 34,000 feet and kept going. >> dana: the family obviously suffering a great loss today. when investigators get there will they be able to piece together what happened on the plane? >> i mean, that plane hit going awfully fast. there won't be a lot of debris out there that you will be able to piece together. ntsb has done this a lot of time and they are able to put it together. they'll have a general idea what happened. but i think the air traffic control tapes tell a good story how quickly did they lose contact with the aircraft. >> dana: thank you for being with us this morning. wish it was other circumstances. see you soon. thank you. >> thanks. >> bill: the u.s. military releasing brand-new video of a close call with a chinese warship in the taiwan strait. it cut sharply across the path of a u.s. destroyer saturday.
6:07 am
the navy says it got within 150 yards of the american vessel which had to slow down in order to avoid a collision. the u.s. calling this chinese maneuver unsafe as well as a violation of the rules of passage in international waters. dana, we have this ship cutting across the u.s. navy ship. last week china buzzed one of our aircraft and a couple months ago we had a chinese spy balloon. they keep provoking. >> dana: they're running the risk of a serious confrontation and accident and we have to be very strong as well. you will get a chance to talk to general jack keane in the next hour. he will be here to help us understand what china is thinking or not thinking in this moment. also house oversight committee leaders today will get to see an f.b.i. document on president biden. it reportedly describes allegations of bribery involving then president biden and foreign
6:08 am
national. oversight chair james comer subpoenaed the document a month ago. it is not handing the document over but showing it to him. we're live with more. seeing it, will they be able to talk about it? >> you know, that's a great question. we'll have to hear after this f.b.i. briefing. it will be taking place in just a few hours and hopefully they will be able to talk about it. we've been hearing so much about the document over the past few weeks. the f.b.i. will be bringing this document over for democrats and republicans specifically ranking member jamie raskin and james comer to see. there will be a briefing called a 1023. a standard f.b.i. document used to memorialize and interview or allegation with a confidential human source. this specific 1023 reportedly contains an allegation that then vice president biden accepted a bribe. now it's a bold allegation and since the document is under lock and key not much else we know at this point in time.
6:09 am
we want to learn as much as possible. told by multiple sources the person who made the allegation was a trusted f.b.i. source going back to the obama administration. we're also learning this specific allegation about then v.p. biden was discovered as law enforcement sources were combing through information brought back from ukraine by rudy. this document is not directly from giuliani. it was just discovered at that time. the f.b.i. looked into information in the allegation and found nothing. comer is suspicious and wants to know more. he and raskin will view the document together. they are requesting common sense protections to maintain the confidentiality of the source.
6:10 am
congressman comer says he is going to move forward withholding f.b.i. director christopher wray in contempt of congress despite the fact the f.b.i. is bringing this document today he seems to be moving in that direction. we'll see, number one, if he will continue to do that. number two, if they can talk about this document because there are so many unanswered questions. >> dana: thank you, we'll get an update on that after they see the document. >> i think it is really important we go and take the policies that president trump had but we do it in with a different approach. that has to appeal to more americans. >> dana: nikki haley laying out her strategy to expand the republican tent as three more candidates get ready to announce this week. how that could change the dynamic of the race. >> bill: van der sloot will be arraigned in the united states. his extradition from peru expected at any moment. >> dana: more than a dozen

6:17 am
joining us live in d.c. this morning. fill us in. who is joining? >> bill, good morning. a few different namgs. we'll need a bigger ballot. all three once had close ties to president trump. former vice president mike pence will speak in des moines, iowa on wednesday hours after former new jersey governor chris christie throws his hat into the ring. he will speak in new hampshire. this week north dakota governor burgum will announce he is seeking the g.o.p. nomination. ron desantis generated considerable buzz last week as he hit three early contest states. they spent saturday in iowa joining senator joni ernst for a political event. president trump chose not to attend his absence was notable. >> i think it was a missed opportunity. we had nearly 1,000 iowans at the state fairgrounds to listen to the candidates that are vying
6:18 am
to be the president of the united states. >> trump was in iowa, though, last week and held multiple events. today tim scott is in new york sitting down with the view and it should be a feisty interview. >> dana: let's bring in fox news contributor marc thiessen. former speech writer for george w. bush. a funny line we'll need a bigger ballot. it is true. what do you think about the three getting into the race this week? >> we have an embarrassment of riches in the republican party when it comes to our bench. people aren't afraid of donald trump apparently. he is not scaring anybody out of the race. he has got 52% support in the real clear politics average. he is ahead. his support is a mile wide and inch deep. here is why. there was a cbs poll shows the
6:19 am
breakdown of the republican electorate. a quarter is supporting trump. a quarter who says they won't support trump and half say they are deciding between trump and other candidates. what that means is 76%, 75% of the gop electorate is up for grabs. they are either not supporting trump or open to supporting other candidates. we have to see if one candidate can merge the never trump and those thinking about other candidates and take him on. i think that's possible. >> bill: what does that one candidate have to do to emerge? with every person who jumps in the vote is getting fractured more. former president trump has the huge block of voters leading the polls now. with every person jumping in it will take a piece of the pie from someone else. what do they have to do to step up and collect some of the voters we were talking about?
6:20 am
>> think about it this way. there are two gop primaries going on. the one to be the nominee to challenge joe biden. also a primary to challenge donald trump. the frontrunner for the nomination. and so people right now it's early. we haven't had any debates yet. ron desantis just announced and other candidates getting in. a primary going on to decide for republicans to decide the majority who don't want trump to be the nominee decide who is the best person to challenge him. at some point, that field has a window. if you've got -- it is better than it was with 19 candidates and two different debates going on in 2016. but at some point there has to be somebody who emerges from that field to be the challenger. if it's as you say a multiple candidates going against trump he will win like he did in 2016. people have to have discipline and try to catch a wave, right now desantis is the frontrunner and waiting to see if he
6:21 am
stumbles. if he doesn't, he should have it. if he does stumble somebody else has to emerge to take that spot. >> dana: polls show inflation, economy and immigration are top concerns. foreign policy will play a role especially if what we see not just in china but russia and ukraine. two of the candidates from yesterday sunday shows commented on this. listen here. >> you have got russia invading ukraine, north carolina testing ballistic missiles. iran trying to build a bomb. none of that would have happened had we not had that debacle in afghanistan. biden had a whole year to prevent that war in ukraine and he didn't do it. >> number one threat to the u.s. military is the china/russia alliance. we are driving russia into china's hands. what i think we need to do is end the ukraine war on peaceful terms that yes, do make some major concessions to russia. in return russia has to leave its treaty and joint military
6:22 am
agreement with china. >> dana: big essay in the "washington post" for a american first case for helping the americans. what of the two responses there? >> nike haley is right and vivek is wrong. russia and china have been together for years. putin met with xi 40 times. we aren't creating that. think about how china looks at the taiwan situation. if we're not willing to help taiwan, which is an internationally recognized sovereign state defend itself from external aggression will we defend taiwan, which is not. we -- no american troops involved. will we risk the lives of american forces to defend taiwan? he is looking at ukraine saying if they won't defend ukraine they won't -- i have a free green light to go after taiwan. so it makes war -- if we fail in
6:23 am
ukraine it makes war more likely with taiwan. taiwan's ambassador gave a speech saying ukraine survival is taiwan's survival and she is right. >> bill: back in 2016 we remember the gop primary that debate stage was packed and a lot of fireworks. this time around they are trying to make the rules more stringent. new rules for the rnc to get on the first debate stage. you have to have 1% polling in three national polls and you have to have 40,000 registered donors. do you think upping the strictness will improve the quality on the stage and not having a million people up there? >> yeah. you have the lower bar to get into the first debate. everybody needs a fair shot with any kind of support to make their case and see if they can catch a wave. as the primaries advance it should be harder to get on the debate stage. you have to demonstrate you
6:24 am
catch on in the polls. at some point it has to be a two-man race, it has to be. we can't follow the strategy the ted cruz strategy of the last man standing. you need to have a candidate going into iowa who will be the challenger to trump and it has to be a two-man race and people have to try. everybody should get in and see if they catch a wave. if you don't catch a wave get out and let one person take him on. >> dana: marc thiessen. thank you. good to see you. >> thank you. >> dana: we have news. you can mark your calendar now, rnc set a date for the first republican presidential debate. it will be august 23rd, a wednesday night. we'll be hosting it on fox happening in milwaukee where they will hold their nominating convention next year. mark your calendars for that. >> bill: historic church goes up in flames. how the devastating fire may have started in the first place.
6:25 am
plus the new frontiers of artificial intelligence and augmented reality. are they shaping your world for better or for worse? the money man charles payne going to be here to break it all down for us. >> dana: with the best walk-on. ♪ f you just take a few seconds to pray with me real quick. in the name of the father and son, holy spirit. amen. lord jesus, come to us now. help us to surrender ourselves completely to you. help us to listen to your voice. even when we're distracted or tired, we pray this in the name of the father and of the son of the holy spirit. amen. thank you so much. i just want to encourage you that if you want to join me in more prayer, check out hallow it's the number one prayer app in the world. veteran homeowners to combat today's rising prices. lower your monthly payments with the three c's: pay down your credit cards, pay off your car loan, consolidate your debt with a va home loan from

from newday. i'm javi, i'm 31, and i'm a fitness instructor. i saw myself in a photograph. and we were all smiling, and i looked closer, and i was like that- that's what everybody sees? i'm back, and i got botox® cosmetic. the lines were so prominent it's all i saw in the photograph, so now when i take photos, and i see myself in photos, its- it's me, i just have fewer lines. botox® cosmetic is fda-approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, headache, eyebrow, eyelid drooping, and eyelid swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history. muscle or nerve conditions, and medications including botulinum toxins. as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
6:30 am
beautiful. you see how the light catches the hubcap? stunning. you sure you don't want your family in the family photos? they helped us save money when we bundled, so... yeah. same difference. okay. this one's going on the mantle. >> bill: robots may be coming for your job. a new report finds nearly 4,000 people were laid off last month because of artificial intelligence as businesses are looking to cut costs. charles payne, the host of making money on fox business is kind enough to join us live in person right now. good to see you. >> i look at it every time and watching the report for a long time. whoa, it is not a big number but the first time a.i. is on there, 3900. you say oh oh, it is starting,
6:31 am
right? the research on this suggests -- i've seen number up to 300 million people around the world will lose their jobs to artificial intelligence. i think what makes this a little bit more worrisome for a lot of folks is if you think about the last 20 years, what automation has done and robots have done to blue collar workers has been devastating. they have lost millions of jobs and slowed their rate of pay. this is for white collar workers who thought they were immune. a.i. is coming for your job. >> bill: having impacts on real people just getting started. couple of people who have been affected. quotes right here, 25-year-old olivia was a copywriter. she writes that people are looking for the cheapest solution, not a person but a robot. she was laid off. another guy eric hold a content writing business in illinois. he says it wiped me out. so this is about 4,000 jobs last month. are we looking at a future where that snowballs to hundreds of
6:32 am
thousands or millions? >> it will definitely be millions. here is the thing. i'm a natural born -- any time there is an industrial revolution i break the weaving machine. i'm afraid -- so -- every time net/net great for humanity and created more jobs and better paying jobs. ultimately it will be the case. but the transition period between losing a job and people who can work with a.i. will be a gulf there. a very painful economic gulf. >> dana: in the meantime i love talking to you about other challenges we have which is education in this country and this caught our eye. in baltimore first of all let me show you youth violence on the rise there. youth homicides increased 67%. overall homicides are down 15% but the young people are hurting there. shootings are up 55% from this time last year but this statistic is what i wanted to talk to you.
6:33 am
baltimore has the highest drop out rate. the graduation rate is only 68.7%. when you think about the jobs, automation, robotics, the future for these children as they get older looks bleaker. >> bill: very bleak. that graduation rate, a lot of those kids are not going to be equipped. they probably still couldn't read at nationally compete maybe 10th grade, 8th grade. they push them out the system. you know, i'm kind of hoping that maybe the new governor there will have an impact now. he rose to fame with this book, which i bought for my son. my son when he was a teenager and we read it together. being someone who grew up initially in my life in army bases and moved to harlem in the 70s to see the most violent, poorest neighborhood in the america the two culture shocks was amazing.
6:34 am
to be able to see that. it is so horrific, it really is horrific. the new economy good news you don't need a four-year degree. the bad news you need more than a high school degree. we have to get these kids and give them tough curriculum. from day one from kindergarten. don't try to boot them up in 12th grade. certain learning and work habits that come with it. we can instill it early at the very beginning and to try to turn this around. the other part is the culture part. there has to be something done and admitted about the part with the culture. if no one admits it. we blame gun violence. i am so sick of that. people violence. people are encouraged to look like each other. they look like each other and young but won't allow them to live it. nothing worse than seeing parents cry at these funerals. >> dana: great to see you. >> great to see you. >> dana: hopefully are dogs will
6:35 am
be safe for a while. i'm not immune. >> find something else that's what i'll tell you. >> dana: great to see you. we're hours away from apple's biggest launch in years. they are branching out into virtual reality. it could cost you a pretty penny to enter the new universe. >> likely cost $3 thousand. not for everybody at first but apple's first new product since the apple watch a decade ago. apple will sell 900,000 of these new mixed reality headsets in the first year. that's not a big number for apple since they send 200 million iphones each year. now the new headset won't ship until closer to the holidays. think of a christmas present for me. getting into virtual reality i tell you this means the company
6:36 am
is only expanding its footprint from phones to computers and banking. remember that apple offers a credit card and a high-interest savings account which gives customers over 4% in interest rates. however, you have heard of complaints that some customers say they can't get their money out at least not quickly enough. wall street pretty bullish on the world's biggest company opening at record highs on the stock markets and that means apple is now worth almost $3 trillion once again. that's more valuable than the entire u.k. stock market or even the russell 2,000 in the u.s. all part of apple's developers conference later today. you get hardware and software update. more animated emojis and mac books as well. the tech world is curious how they will try to revolutionize virtual reality world that
6:37 am
hasn't caught on. they changed their name to meta and not gotten a lot of traction yet. let's see if apple can do what meta can. get average folks like us to live in the virtual world with a computer on your face. >> dana: don't cover up that pretty face of yours indeed. $3 thousand is a lot of money but exciting times and exciting to be part of it. great to have you, thank you. >> bill: saudi arabia announcing plans to cut oil production part of a strategy to increase gas prices. prices right now hovering around $3.55 a gallon. it was $4.84 a year ago. presidential candidate nikki haley reacting this morning on "fox & friends." >> the saudis are not going to listen to joe biden because he basically called the crown prince a pariah. that's not what you do. he went hat in hand to saudi arabia and he is getting dirty oil from venezuela and iran.
6:38 am
we're getting ready to see gas prices go way up and the reason we have to be energy independent in this country. >> bill: saudi arabia says it will cut 1 million barrels per day. that is set to begin on july 1st. dana. >> dana: more bad news for drivers in california. yes, sorry to say some l.a. freeways may not be free for part of the day. l.a. county's metro authority is considering adding congestion pricing during peak travel hours. advocates say it will relieve gridlock and convince more people to switch to mass transit. however, they do this in london. it hasn't worked well and hurts a lot of people who need to get to the city to do their work. >> bill: i live in l.a. i've lived in l.a. for the last six years. they can do whatever they want. gridlock won't stop. it takes three hours to get from l.a. to orange county on a thursday afternoon. >> dana: really? wow. >> bill: it is not getting any better. >> dana: knock yourselves out,
6:39 am
california. hopefully they'll do the right thing for the blue collar workers of america. >> bill: wheels of justice moving quickly in the natalee holloway case. will the suspect finally face justice more than 18 years after her disappearance. nancy grace will join us next. walgreens trying to take a new look to fight rampant shoplifting. items you can take from shelves no more. the democrat-led city where this is happening. digestive system. when your gut and vaginal bacteria are off balance. you may feel it. but just one align women's probiotic daily helps soothe digestive upsets. and support vaginal health. welcome to an align gut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it! doggy-paddle! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> dana: prime suspect in the unsolved disappearance of natalee holloway is expected to be extradited from peru to alabama as soon as tomorrow. charles watson is live in birmingham, alabama with the latest. this is a long time coming. >> certainly is, dana. van der sloot's lawyer says he expects him to be extradited to the u.s. at some point this week. the process was in motion this weekend as prison officials moved van der sloot to a maximum security prison in lima according to peru officials. he will eventually be turned over to interpol we're told. which will hand him over to the
6:45 am
f.b.i. for temporary extradition to the u.s. to face extortion and wire fraud charges connected to the 2005 disappearance of natalee holloway in aruba. once van der sloot is on u.s. soil legal proceedings will play out like any other trial in the u.s. >> we're going to have an arraignment. you will have pre-trial hearings. you will have all sorts of things that happen preceding a criminal jury trial. anything can happen. it doesn't preclude some type of a plea deal at some point down the line. >> van der sloot, the prime suspect in hollway's disappearance and currently serving out a sentence for the murder of another woman in peru in 2010 was indicted over an alleged scheme to provide false information about hollway's whereabouts in exchange for a
6:46 am
$250,000 reward the family was offering. hollway's mother gave him 25,000 but lied about holloway's location. the mother said in a statement she hopes this extradition will give a family a piece of justice at least. >> dana: thank you, charles watson. >> bill: let's bring in nancy grace host of crime stories on fox nation. thank you for joining us this morning. in your opinion, what will it mean to the holloway family to have van der sloot on u.s. soil? >> it's going to mean more than i can convey in words. i recently returned from a rube yeah with natalee's mother, beth where we retraced her steps as we knew them trying to ferret out any suggestion of a tip, of a clue, of anything left hidden
6:47 am
at that time. we were met with great opposition from aruba authorities who tried to arrest us. long story short, natalee's mother has never gotten justice despite all of her efforts. she never got justice. and now she has the opportunity to have van der sloot here on american soil with a justice system that we for the most part trust and believe in. i can't tell you what this must mean to natalee's mother. >> bill: as we heard van der sloot is accused of trying to take advantage of their grief and trying to find her. he was asking for tens of thousands of dollars falsely promising he was going to tell them where her body was. now he is charged with extortion and wire fraud. you have been in contact with the family and know them. he is allegedly looking to take
6:48 am
advantage of their emotions as they are trying to find their loved one. >> he is a predator. think of a hyena out in the desert and the gazelles come to drink. he is preying on one girl the next. raping them just as they are supposed to leave to go back home. that was his m.o. the whole island knew it. he was protected by his father, a judge. so an reward goes out, $250,000 for information regarding natalee. he wants a piece of that so he contacts natalee's mother through lawyers, manages to squeeze $25,000 out of her in exchange for the location of natalee's body. can you imagine doing this to a mother grieving for their murdered daughter? didn't bother him at all.
6:49 am
