think about the infant with them in the jungle. >> dana: the care they showed for that baby and the mother's bravery and the father, he has his children back. amazing. res rescuers were terrific. former president donald trump heading to miami soon and he is due in federal court on charges he will have to deal with tomorrow. it is expected he will spend tonight at his doral golf course. after his court appearance he will head back to jersey to deliver remarks about the day's events and 2024 presidential campaign. in case you missed it, you might have. president biden's re-election campaign started in april 7th weeks ago. no big rallies, events or barnstorming across the country to battleground states. now he has finally announced his first campaign appearance this weekend in philadelphia. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom."

i'm dana perino. >> bill: i hope you had a good weekend. quite relaxing. bill hemmer, good morning. the biden campaign getting off to a slow public roll-out and republicans are busy courting support coast to coast focusing on important primary states. desantis telling voters why he wants to send biden back to the basement in delaware. >> you have to recognize our country is in decline right now. i don't think decline is inevitable and i'm running for president to reverse that decline and to put us on a path to american renewal. we can do it and we'll get it done. i know it can be done because we did it in florida. >> dana: bret baier joining us in a moment. first rich edson live in washington. you have an update. good morning, rich. >> good morning. republicans are courting primary voters across the country. governor desantis campaigned in oklahoma where he picked up the governor's endorsement. his first from a sitting

governor. >> we have an opportunity to get a big coalition together. i think it's a majority that wants to restore sanity to this country. >> desantis spoke friday at the north carolina gop convention. former president mike pence and former president trump addressed the convention separately saturday. some of trump's challengers have criticized him for complimenting kim jong un. >> they say how dare you get along great with a dictator. he has hundreds of nuclear weapons. it is nice to get along. i'm not saying that from weakness. >> trump also ripped the justice department that indicted him last week. most republican candidates have criticized the d.o.j. others say the former president's conduct is disqualifying. >> we need a commander-in-chief that disregards the nation's secrets from our nuclear secrets

and military responses to particular worldwide events. these are things that should not be disclosed as entertainment value. >> senator tim scott is campaigning in early contest states this we can. south carolina this morning. iowa wednesday. the field may grow further. miami mayor is considering a run. >> i've traveled across the country and be to iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and nevada when i take this message to people they want to hear more. if i decide to run next week, hopefully i will make the debate stage august 23rd. >> that first debate is in milwaukee on fox. back to you. >> dana: rich edson kicking us off on politics. >> bill: let's bring in bret baier anchor of "special report." a couple things cooking. biden in philly on saturday. kamala harris is getting a boost. here is the headline. harris gets her cavalry.

they plan to spend $10 million to support her. it reflects the lack of broader efforts made to date to help bolster the vice president who has low approval ratings. a 1, 2 punch coming out this week. >> you're right. good morning. president biden and his team have been criticized a bit for a slow launch of this campaign despite being out more than a month ago. and with a video. there really haven't been that many events. philadelphia marks the first push by the president on the campaign. it is a common place. he went to pennsylvania and philadelphia many, many times in the last election and so he will feel very comfortable talking to union workers there. as for the vice president, you had nikki haley, candidate in the gop side saying that we, the republican party in her words, are going to run against kamala harris because that who will eventually be the nominee and

why you see the groups back her and try to soup up her ratings. >> dana: i have to say even though in "politico" they say this is an unprecedented amount of money to help boost her, $10 million in the scheme of things in this campaign doesn't seem like a lot to me. every two weeks you get another -- comment on that. >> well, i agree with you, $10 million in the big picture talking a billion dollars in the campaign is going to be very small but it is unprecedented because there is this vulnerability that's perceived that kamala harris is going to be a target in that there is some thought about president biden's viability through the term. >> bill: first, do you think joe biden should run for president? 70% say no. sean asking gavin newsom in sacramento about this.

>> do you think he is cognitively strong enough to be present? >> i have conversations with him all the time. yes. i'm dead serious. i have talked to him when he has been overseas and in air force one, marine one, the limo with him and spent time with him. >> you never answered my question directly. how many times does your phone ping a day people saying you need to get in the race because he is not up to the job? that's a fair question. i'm asking. >> and i'm not answering. >> bill: the reason we're asking this, you will hear this more and more. do you get any indication from this white house and political team that he is not going to run? >> no. that's not the signal they send out at all or the inner circle of biden is sending out. governor newsom doesn't do sean hannity's show every day. an interesting exchange. a lot of great back and forth. he also doesn't go to the border and film things along the border saying democrats need to pay

attention to this issue. so i wouldn't count out in the big picture that if there is some bump along the road that gavin newsom wouldn't get in. i think right now the biden folks are saying he is in. >> dana: the other thing is you have report on this before that joe manchin, now cornell west are thinking about a third party run. it seems like two years before an election you think that's a good idea. america deserves more choices and it doesn't pan out. is it at all different this year with dissatisfaction with biden? 70% don't think he should run again. trump has great numbers with the republican party but in a general election maybe losing to biden, is a third party a possibility? it's a possibility to happen, not to win necessarily.

it is within the realm, they're really worried about cornell west and the people's party. he takes a few points away in some of those crucial states. i should point out they're only on the florida ballot as of now but on many more over time. just a few points as we saw in the last election could swing a number of those states. there is concern on both sides for the third party. >> bill: here is what west said on friday. if the democrats don't want third party candidates like myself, why don't you put poor and working people here and abroad at the center of your vision? biden was a caretaker president for four years. if he talks like that he is going to get attention in liberal circles, bret. people will give him more air time. >> 100%. roe khanna praising him. bernie sanders and his institute saying they value him.

left wing pundit gets a lot of attention and has a lot of goodwill on the far left side of the democratic party. again, 1, 2 points makes a difference. >> dana: where are you and what are you doing? what special thing do you have cooking up? >> the senate project. we're doing it today at 11:00 a.m. eastern time it streams on fox nation. we started this with this group between the edward m. kennedy institute and orrin hatch foundation. an effort to get senators together to talk about how they agree on things, different on some things. we started it with bernie sanders and lindsey graham right here at the edward m. kennedy institute. it streams at 11:00 a.m. on fox nation. the coolest thing about it is this discussion on the senate chamber looks exactly like the senate floor and it's really a great environment. >> bill: a beautiful room. he is suburb.

enjoy. check it out at 11:00 a.m. and want viewers to be aware of that. cool. >> dana: i love that. when we were first showing the video i thought they were in the senate. that's how real it looks. it's very good. also we want to talk about this. china denying claims it set up a base in cuba to spy on the u.s. but the biden administration confirming over the weekend the spying efforts have gone on and say it has been since 2019. official calling it an ongoing issue. house china commission chairman mike gallagher said this. >> interested in domination and we need to take off these utopian blinders and understand who we're dealing with and stand up firmly to ccp aggression. >> dana: fox business correspondent lydia hu is live at the white house with more details. >> that's right. the biden administration is saying that china is working to amp up its spying efforts in cuba and that's coming after a national security council spokesman john kirby said the reporting from the "wall street

journal" was not accurate. but according to the "wall street journal," eavesdropping facility in cuba would allow chinese intelligence services to scoop up electronic communications in the southeastern united states and monitor ship traffic. >> i said on july 11th when you saw the protest in cuba that the united states had to act decisively. this is another biden failure and another consequence of no coherent policy. now cuba has become a national security threat. >> china's reported presence in cuba is not the only alleged effort to spy on the u.s. house republicans have said details on spying risks posed by cargo cranes in u.s. ports. they flew a spy balloon across the united states earlier this

year and f.b.i. investigation chinese cell towers near air bases capable of getting sensitive communications and chinese land purchases near critical infrastructure like military bases. >> this biden administration has been asleep at the wheel. from spy balloons to spy outposts both in cuba and in cities around america. i see it each and every single day on house foreign affairs and we need to make sure in congress we hold this administration accountable to put the american people first. this administration is putting china first. >> now secretary of state antony blinken is planning to travel to china later this week for meetings with high ranking chinese officials. it was supposed the take place in february but was postponed after the chinese spy balloon incident. >> dana: remember that one well. thank you.

>> dana: police arresting five suspects after a wild brawl in a a texas

>> two adults and three juveniles arrested with assault, criminal mischief and theft. >> bill: it looked like a mess. aisle two cleanup. new details behind the pga tour and liv merger. jay monihan telling employees the unexpected move was largely a financial decision. "wall street journal" reports this. pga tour says it could not afford to keep battling saudi arabia. the pga tour golfer dylan joins me now. a rare interview for golfers to come on tv and explain their position. thank you for your time for being here today. one quote. we cannot compete with a foreign government with unlimited money, says monihan. this was the time. we waited to be in the strongest possible position to get this deal in place.

saudis had $7 hundred billion behind them. i don't know how much the pga tour has behind it. what do you think now, dylan? >> it has been almost six days since the news came out last tuesday when liv and pga tour were merging. i don't think many players have much clarity still. i think it's still fresh and new. there is more news coming out saying it was a monetary decision. i know that being a player, we all were kind of shocked when this came out and honestly didn't believe it the morning of. i think there is still so many questions that need to be answered. this is just the beginning. >> bill: a couple of things on my mind here. this is what you do for a living, right? this supports your lifestyle. you are 26 years old, i believe. you really have nowhere to go if you want to continue playing on tour you have to play under whatever comes out next,

correct? >> yes, for sure. this is my second year on tour. i'm trying to make a living out here and all the guys out here we work every single day every tournament golf. no guarantee. to see the world of professional golf in the past year, year and a half has been crazy to be a part of it. every day is changing. >> bill: listen, we reached out to a lot of golfers to come on our air and you said yes. do you think there is any reprisal for you speaking out? >> no, for me i would love just to talk about it because i think there has been so much information and so much chaos in the world of golf the past year. i think the players are shut out from what's happening. the membership is over 200 players on the pga tour and you only hear from the top couple. i think the membership is very important and the opinion of

players is something that needs to be valued and i think it has been overlooked with our transparency with the high executives. we don't feel we have a say with what happens with the pga tour and what happened this past tuesday with news coming and nobody knew about it. >> bill: there has been a lot of talk. the golfers that did not take the money on behalf of saudi arabia. a lot of you guys thought it was blood money. martin kimers from germany went to liv and said this. i look forward to the reaction of all the people who said we don't want to play for blood money or sell our soul. now they need to move to japan and play on the japan tour in order to stay true to their word. some of that is tongue in cheek saying with the new formation every golfer like yourself will be susceptible to saudi arabian money. dylan, how do you think this works out? right now as you mentioned there are a lot of questions that don't have answers. >> yeah, i think one of the

things the players are asking is how is the public investment funds going to invest in the pga tour? in the meeting with jay he was telling the players he will still have control over the pga tour and it will have control of global golf now. what will the partnership look like in the future? will it be purely prize money, bigger purses, is it going to be guaranteed payment for players that liv has introduced to professional golf in the past year? i personally think -- i hope the pga tour still has enough power to have the voice and control over certain things with the tour. i hope it is not just liv and public investment fund pouring money and getting their way. i hope it's where jay and the executives of the pga tour can steer golf in the right direction. the past year, two years, golf

has been going in great direction. i hope professional golf slowly comes up. >> >> dana: a happy ending at the canadian open golf tournament. a 72 yard putt for the title. watch here. >> good pace. are you serious? oh my goodness! glorious and free. >> dana: that's a pretty good putt right there. that's when chaos started. another canadian golfer ran onto the green after his countryman won and tackled by security while celebrating his friend's victory. the first canadian to win his country's national tournament in 69 years. that's a long time. >> bill: 69 years and 72-foot putt. to our friends in canada, well

done. you can see the video of him being tackled. whoa, that had to hurt. that left a mark. that's right. 25 past the hour now. saw the story over the weekend. george soros passing the bat on to his son, alex to have control of his multi-billion empire. alex says he gets ready to cross lines his father did not. kelly o'grady has an explanation for what that means in l.a. today. >> that's right. he will be more political than his father and he plans to expand his family's liberal giving efforts. that will be a tall order to live up to given his father's reputation. he will chair the open society foundation, a nonprofit that directs a billion half toward democratic causes and institutions and ran a super pac that backed d.a.s and law enforcement that pushed progressive issues like bail reform. alex shared this quote with the

"wall street journal" saying i'm more political. as much as i would love to get money out of politics as long as the other side is doing it, we'll have to do it, too. that's a curious statement. in addition to his family's giving alex is a big political donor in his own right pouring over 5.7 million into democratic boxed and campaigns and he plans to add a few causes to the list his family supports. including gender equity, abortion and voting rights. alex is known to flout liberal connections. it shows countless pictures with world leaders like the president, vp, nancy pelosi, all democratic main stays. also appears that the billionaire has a direct line to the biden white house. he met with top pennsylvania official eaves at least a dozen times from october of 21 to february of this year. sounds like we can expect more of the same and more intense focus on political causes. bill, especially with the 2024 election looming alex shared a

of that today. yes, we've waited to see this counter offensive waiting to see it happen. last week they finally moved. ukrainians pushing to the east and south. general keane will explain what the military side of it looks like but the truth is this isn't just about ukraine trying to recapture territory but about ukraine showing the west despite the billions of dollars of support they can in fact capture territory. the west seems to think if they don't capture territory now they may weigh giving more funds later on or next year. critical to see the western support continue to see if they can capture more territory. we're looking at another story out of russia. american who has been arrested. the third american now being held there. evan gershkovitch and paul whalen, worrying signs russia is using hostage diplomacy against the u.s. to reach other goals. we're watching that story closely and the counter offensive closely and the idea

is there may be movements happening certainly in the coming weeks, perhaps more in the coming months. >> bill: great to see you and congratulations on the latest procedure. it's wonderful, wonderful news, thank you, ben. >> dana: great to see him and wonderful to hear. let's bring in jack keane as the fox news senior strategic analyst. let's get to what ben was talking about. what do you see in ukraine today? it feels like there is a change happening here. >> yeah, most definitely, dana. let me break it down for our audience to understand. strategically what ukrainians want is the liberation of all of their territory to include crimea. that has been their goal from the beginning. operationally what the objective is for this counter offensive is to move to the south, cut off the main supply routes from russia to crimea, move to the sea and in doing that and therefore isolate crimea and

begin to threaten the bases and de depots there. not to attack it on the ground but to begin to isolate it and diminish it and possibly attack it next year. that's the operational objective for this counter offensive. tactically is a tough fight as journalist are describing. the russians are well dug in. what the ukrainians have to go through is a mine field first followed by what's referred to as tank ditches. this is wreck tank you lair opening in the surface where a tank cannot cross it. they have to put a bridge across it or dirt in the ditch. then they confront what's called dragon teeth, small concrete pyramids and they have to blow those up to pass through those. they are confronted by dug-in

arm ored vehicles. the russians are firing into what they think the ukrainians move through are kill sacks and direct fire weapons and bring up air power attack helicopters in those kill sacks. that's what the ukrainians are dealing with every single day. ukrainians have an advantage here. they have the will to fight and determination. the russians are not as strong willfully nor, i believe, as skilled. secondly the ukrainians have an advantage at night. they have night vision devices on all western vehicles they have and they also have them on their individual soldiers. fighting during the day is walking right into a nightmare. fighting at night gives them an advantage. they made some progress particular fly in eastern donetsk and taken villages. it will go on some weeks.

what they're trying to find out right now is where is it best to penetrate to achieve the operational objective i mentioned previously. so these are more like probing attacks, not massive amounts of armored vehicles with multiple brigades involved. these are trying to determine the best penetration opportunities for them. >> dana: the "wall street journal" editorial board talks about the high stakes of ukraine's offensive. the next phase of the war is difficult and long. national interest. it would help if president biden explained the stakes to the american people. he doesn't talk about it a lot. we covered this story on the shows and the news is covering it but you don't hear from the president. do we need to? >> most definitely. this is a nagging frustration i have had going back to 9/11. i don't believe democratic or republican administrations dealing with a protracted war

we're involved in or one that we're supporting that we ever set the case to the american people and come back and continuously talk to them about why these sacrifices are necessary, whether it's our own treasure and blood or in in case whether it's taxpayers dollars to support the ukrainians in our national interest. we should make the case and continue to make the case to the american people. we're adults out here. we can handle it and we know there will be setbacks and more. nobody thinks war is easy. be honest and foreclose to the american people what's happening and why we need to continue to support it. >> dana: general jack keane. thank you for supporting us on this monday. we'll keep this touch. thank you. >> bill: a long way to go, too, right? a stunning turn for famous rapper today's hemmer celebrity news. roll this.

ready for a big day tomorrow. jonathan, hello. >> indeed. president trump -- former president trump plans to head to miami a day early to give him time to meet with members of his legal team ahead of tomorrow's appearance in federal court in town. he faces 37 counts related to the alleged mishandling of classified white house documents he stored in various locations around his mar-a-lago estate in palm beach. lindsey graham says he doesn't like certain things the former president did in this case, the charges against him are too aggressive. >> most republicans believe we live in a country where hillary clinton did very similar things and nothing happened to her. president trump will have his day in court but sump -- >> the attorney general has shocked by the number and sensitivity of the documents. bill barr says in this case

federal prosecutors have legitimate concerns about the former president. >> he is not a victim here. he was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents. those documents are among the most sensitive secrets the country has. >> bill, at rallies over the weekend mr. trump accused the justice department of trying to suppress his political career. he says he is not backing down. back to you. >> bill: jonathan, thanks. setting the table in miami. >> dana: republicans say there are two tiers of justice involving the federal investigations swirling around trump versus biden. chad pergram on capitol hill this morning. >> republicans want to tighten the purse strings of the gop. uneven treatment for the two presidents. the feds have probed the president's son for five years without resolution but targeted mr. trump. >> this is the most political

thing i have ever seen. they are indicting president trump on tuesday for having material that he declassified that was protected by the secret service. the people who are doing it is the administration, justice department from his opponent in the upcoming presidential election. this is as political as it gets. >> republicans say the president should face charges as well for his mishandling of documents but democrats contend it is apples and oranges. >> president trump behaved in waves markedly different from former vice president pence or president biden in how he responded once he became aware that he inappropriately retained critical national security classified documents. that's the basis of this pros cougs. >> a dozen members viewed an f.b.i. document last week saying the paperwork proves president biden accepted a bribe when he was vice president. republicans believe there are issues there.

the gop does not trust the f.b.i. >> it is an absolute double standard. we don't do anything with hunter biden's laptop. the big guy has not been prosecuted. it is just a dual system of justice. >> republicans argue jamie raskin, the top democrat on the oversight committee isn't properly characterizing the status of the biden investigation. they accuse him of running interference for president biden. dana. >> dana: chad pergram. lots of news happening on that in the next 36 hours. >> bill: to florida. a bear? is that -- where is this? some wild video showing the animal taking a dip in the ocean. it looks like a dog to me. stand by for clarification coming up. plus a shortage of chemo drugs affecting treatment of cancer patients. the fda is trying to take steps to address it. is it doing it well enough?

we talk to a couple dealing with the issue firsthand. on your credit cards. those balances can sneak up fast. even worse, the interest rate on credit card debt has gone up to 22% and for late payments as high as 30%. that's over three times the rate on a newday 100 va home loan pay off those high rate cards and other debt with a lower rate home loan from newday. you can save $500 every month. i suffer with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. i was on a journey for a really long time to find some relief. cosentyx works for me. cosentyx helps real people get real relief from the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to or if ibd symptoms develop or worsen. i move so much better because of cosentyx. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx.

this is remington. he's a member of the family, for sure. we always fed him kibble it just seemed like the thing to do. but he was getting picky, and we started noticing some allergy symptoms. we heard about the farmer's dog and it was a complete transformation. his allergies were going away and he just had amazing energy. it's a no-brainer that remi should have the best nutritious and delicious food possible. i'm investing in my dog's health and happiness. ♪ get started at longlivedogs.com

>> harris: democrats are wondering how to rescue vice president kamala harris from the boogeyman label she is getting. a windfall of cash coming in from a liberal group. affirmative action became a 2024 election issue. the information we know is going on at the u.s. supreme court. marine veteran daniel penny telling his side of the choke hold story. congressman andy biggs, and others, "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> dana: shortage of chemotherapy drugs causing treatment complications for cancer patients. last week they said all facilities are dealing with shortages with some unable to treat patients. my next guests have firsthand experience. joining me now jeff, who was die

a ago -- diagnosed with stage four cancer. thank you for being here. jeff, you are in a situation where you need treatment and you need this drug. what happened when you went to get it? >> i started out, had a couple months of treatment and then realized part way through that there was a shortage of a drug at the hospital but not just our hospital but then we found out that it was throughout the country. so that's where i am basically at right now. i am getting a certain amount of chemo drug but not the drug that i really need. >> dana: i'm sure you pay a lot of attention to what is going into his body and talking to the doctors and other patients probably. you are trying to figure it out.

you care so much. from your point of view, as his advocate, how does this make you feel and what would you like to see done? >> it's an advocate for jeff and so many patients. we we go to therapy treatments it's filled. just a cycle that keeps going. every day one person leaves, the next person comes in. so many patients are impacted by this. unfortunately jeff is on palliative care but a lot of patients in curative treatment. without the drug it cuts their life short or in some cases terminal without the options to have this really strong drug. we really want it for jeff selfishly but we are speaking out because there are so many patients that need this drug. there is a complete national shortage of this and patients can't receive the treatment they need. >> dana: jeff, did your doctors

have any warning there would be a shortage? >> no, not really. not that we heard from them initially. my wife has been a godsend. she is the one who started to investigate this and found out more and more and when we started learning more about this topic and how it is affecting so many people in the country that really need this drug. >> dana: and i know one of the issues is that they start to make generics or the drugs if they become less profitable, connie, then we can understand, right? i'm wondering if you have heard of any new innovative market-based solutions that would maybe provide tax breaks to the company to make sure the drugs were available? >> we have heard of nothing. that's why we are reaching out to the federal government to step in. they did when there was the baby formula shortage and they demanded manufacturers. so there are no mandates

currently right now. we've reached out to every possible politician and reached out to anybody with the fda, american cancer society trying to find it and we're not hearing any news. they say 3 to 6 months potentially there could be action in the flow. >> dana: i want to get this in here. the fda just announced they will allow imports from china of this drug to ease the shortage. that might be good for patients, right? your thoughts on that. >> yeah, i think both of us would be thrilled that it could be served to anybody. we don't know how long it would take to get here with any sort of imports. fda's involvement. if you are just hearing that, it's fabulous news and we really want to save as many people's lives or extend lives like in jeff's case to be here much longer to coach high school football and take care of the students at the school where he is a school counselor and impact the community by having him and so many other people here.

i want to bring in bill hemmer. he loves sports. this is a guy who coaches at marquette university high school and an amazing guy. my partner loves sports, jeff. >> bill: hang in there, pulling for you, okay? you have a strong message and hope it works out, all right? >> appreciate it. thank you for doing this. this is helping. >> dana: take care. jeff and connie, thank you. "the faulkner focus" is up next. here is harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert as we await a critical decision from the u.s. supreme court. affirmative action giving resources or preference or favor of certain people deemed disadvantaged. this kind of special treatment really from the 1950s and 60s, just popped up as a 2024 election battleground. it could be as monumental, we're told, as last summer's roe v. wade o
