>> as usual, dance music ends the show. is that what that is? >> run to the radio. >> i have a lot of great guests and stay within myself. are you guys? >> loved having you on, will. >> bill: great show, good morning. big time stakes in beijing going down now. america's top diplomat on damage control. blinken's trip to beijing. will it repair a relationship at rock bottom? hope you had a good weekend. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom," great to be back in your presence. >> bill: you as well, my lady. >> dana: what a gift to me. let's get to the trip. blinken is the first secretary of state to visit china in five years. he had a sit-down with president

she. >> bill: that visit designed to restore stability. the secretary admits it is not all sunshine and rainbows. >> we are clear eyed about the challenges posed by the prc. the united states will advance a vision for the future that we share with so many others, free, open, stable and prosperous world. i came to beijing to strengthen levels of communication. we agreed on the need to stabilize our relationship. >> dana: the trip was originally scheduled for last february but the discovery of a chinese spy craft in u.s. airspace prompted the white house to postpone it. >> i don't know what more that chinese communist party has to do in terms of violating u.s. sovereignty and international law for us to take a tough stand. >> i think the problem has been the entire biden administration

has been filled with mishops towards china. he has made mistakes in terms of not being tougher against china on stealing of intellectual property. letting spy balloons fly over the country unharassed. whatever he is doing today is a daylight and a dollar short. >> china is sending a message we're in charge now, you're finished to the west and the united states. i think it calls for us to have a strong response. i think with secretary blinken's visit there it may portray a bit of weakness. >> bill: no shortage of conversation. rich edson kicks off our coverage on the north lawn of the white house. good morning. >> that's a long list of complaints, the full list is longer. antony blinken wrapping up this long-anticipated trip to china featured a 35 minute meeting a couple hours ago with president xi. he met with other senior chinese officials trying to reverse several years of dramatically

deteriorating relations. he canceled the trip to china earlier this year because of the chinese spy balloon floating over the u.s. he expects additional visits by senior u.s. officials to china over the coming weeks. >> the direct engagement and sustained communication at senior levels is the best way to manage our differences and insure that competition does not veer into conflict. i heard the same from my chinese counterparts. >> state department said blinkern protested china detaining relations and threats against taiwan and other things. the two countries should work together to disrupt the chemicals fueling the fentanyl creels is in the u.s. republicans say this conversation is another in a decades-long series of fruitless talks with chinese officials. >> we need them to take off the golden blindfolds and accurately

assess the risk of continuing to do business with a genocidal regime that could provoke a war at any second. >> china's top diplomat according to the chinese government told blinken the u.s. government needs to stop hyping the china threat theory and cooperate with china. >> bill: more to come. thank you, leading our coverage from the north lawn. back here where do you want to start? >> dana: i think president biden rarely talks about china really. he might think he does but i don't think he gets answers. this is him on saturday talking about the china spy craft. >> president biden: china has some legitimate difficulties unrelated to the united states. and i think one of the things that balloon caused was not so much that it got shot down, but i don't think the leadership knew where it was and knew what was in it and knew what was going on. i think it was more embarrassing

than it was intentional. >> dana: it drives me crazy that allows him to take questions. you can't hear him because the chopper in the background and planes in the background getting ready to go and you can't hear him. you don't get a full answer. the other thing is what's embarrassing and we don't have an answer, did the united states spend 2 million to shoot a hobby balloon out of the sky? no investigation. >> soften the beach head before blinken meets with xi. >> bill: they established a fentanyl panel and xi held the meeting until the last minute. >> dana: the military one would be a disappointment for the united states. one of the reasons to go there because of what mike gallagher said. this country could provoke a war at any moment talking about taiwan. >> bill: the origins of covid. the origins are yet really to be

resolved. now the mystery deepens after the administration missed a congressional deadline to declassify all these documents on how the virus started. the deadline was yesterday. former health organization committee member back with us. good morning to you. doesn't it seem strange how you miss a deadline a day before blinken is meeting with xi or did some intent strike you? >> the deadline was yesterday, sunday, which was a day off. today is a federal holiday. if by the close of business tomorrow, tuesday, nothing is out in the public, i think that's what we should say something is wrong. >> bill: if you meant it maybe you do it friday before the weekend. >> it could be. and the administration is trying to balance a lot of things, as you know. i've been very vocal on the covid origins issue. we need to raise this front and center, 20 million people are dead from a totally avoidable

pandemic. that has to be a big issue for us. >> dana: what about the reports from last week the three scientists from the lab are the ones that first contracted it and that's how this all got going, china tried to cover it up. how much closer are we knowing for sure it came from the lab? >> certainly from day one i have thought research-related origin was the most likely way this pandemic started. there are these allegations apparently coming from inside the united states government that the first three people infected with the sars covid two virus were the three named workers, researchers in the lab at the wuhan institute of virology. if that should be proven, that is 100% proof that covid-19 comes from a lab accident. that's really game over and then we shift what do we do about it? >> bill: how possible is it that this administration gives china a pass on covid. >> i think they'll try to push

the administration, president biden called for the intelligence review by all the intelligence agencies. that had not happened under the previous administration. now we're reaching toward declassification. i don't think there is some kind of internal cover-up. i don't think our government knows something and is suppressing it but the united states government is trying to balance a lot of interests on ukraine, south china sea, taiwan, chips, economy, all these other things and so it is up to us on the outside who have been pushing so hard for 3 1/2 years to lay out the evidence and say hey, this is a really important issue. >> bill: i agree with you on your list. it is all important stuff. so is covid. so is the pandemic. it changed our lives and we spent a ton of money. >> it's unbelievable, 20 million people dead, trillions of dollars of economic losses. that's why i've said from day one we need to fearlessly follow

the evidence. >> dana: the "wall street journal" op-ed. homicide and suicide rates for young people hit a 20-year high. political leaders possess over -- they ignored bigger dangers. it is not like it's over because it is still continuing. there is economic impact. the issues for children are really stark. >> this was an incredible trauma for everybody in so many different ways. the origins issue, very legitimate debates to be had about our response here in the united states and around the world. and that's why as i was saying before we need to be fearless. it is politically sensitive to raise these issues with china and ask ourselves whether we did the right thing in the early days. but we have to do it because we are entering a new age of synthetic biology. there will be additional threats. there will be additional

pandemics. if we don't learn the lessons of what went wrong we'll face greater challenges in the future. >> bill: we missed the deadline but watching the clock. >> let's watch on tuesday. at the close of business tuesday if we don't have anything we should start banging pots and pans. >> bill: i want to get back to europe now. third week of kiev's counter offensive continues. yu cran says it is making mottest but steady progress. more on this story today. greg, hello. >> yes, slow and i would call it grudging progress in that counter offensive by ukraine against russia. another village taken back. officials describe the operation as probing and testing maneuvers, still not the main assault we've all been looking for. as russia remains active. four more missiles launched

overnight and cities and shot down. mortar and artillery fire along the front line all coming at a huge human cost. what we saw and heard at a cemetery outside of kiev. the losses keep coming. you can talk about offenses, counter offensive strategies. the war in ukraine comes down to people killed, families shattered. 25-year-old was friendly and helpful just killed in the town of bakhmut missed by grandmother and mother. >> it is an incredible loss. we don't know how we can live with this. >> 51-year-old was killed a year ago fighting in the city of. >> we hoped that maybe he was alive. >> a dad grieves for his oldest son, 45-year-old. his body shattered by a mine. >> it is a pain i will have

until the end of my days. >> while most believe in the cause, most fear more graves will be dug. >> yesterday's was father's day here, too. we met the sorry dad and shattered children. rest in peace, back to you. >> bill: greg, thanks. more to come from kiev and more. greg palkot. thank you. >> dana: a dangerous heat wave sweeping across southern states. new video shows the extent of the damage after a possible tornado tore through mississippi. some 70 miles from jackson last night. at least one person killed and more than a dodds en hurt. several homes crushed into piles of debris. record high temperatures are torching texas. look at that. up to 120 degrees in some areas. fueling more deadly storms and power outages. five people dead and hundreds of thousands without electricity. officials warn homeowners and businesses to conserve energy where they can as the demand is expected to surge for at least

back-to-back days. >> both parties are using it to try to bolster arguments. >> dana: san francisco crime crisis leaving one victim with a $30,000 loss and he says the city is ambivalent. we'll talk to him. >> bill: a foul ball fiasco at fenway. a family dispute that has gone viral. you have to check this out. come on back. >> look at this. >> how sick. [laughter] >> did you see big bro? he is beside himself. >> i feel it. i feel that pain. towns across , where our focus is to always support the people who live and work there. because you call these communities home, and we do too. pnc bank.

>> bill: so l.a. mayor bass laying out a plan to help with homelessness. she hopes it will end the problem by 20826. >> to end street homelessness. people in shelters and interim housing but not have people dying on our streets. 2000 people died last year. what we really need because homelessness is such a huge problem now. >> bill: i like the ambition. well oh he see how much they can get done toward the goal.

she declared a state of emergency when she took office in december saying so far her team has helped get 14,000 off the streets in los angeles. more to go. a lot, right? >> dana: let's move up north to san francisco where another problem plagues the city, high crime. my next guest is slamming the police response in san francisco. he says they were mia when thieves broke into his car and then fled with $30,000 of film equipment. filmmaker eli is here to tell us about it. what happened that day? >> thank you for having me. it was a regular day of film making and we were wanting a beautiful shot of san francisco. we went up to lombard street, a very famous street. and we stepped away 200 feet from the vehicle.

once we come out of the car with the camera people know that we have stuff in the car. so we were looking at the truck. still within that ten minutes, this chevy blazer came up and stole what turned out to be about $40,000 worth of equipment. we went back to the hotel and did a whole inventory. it was really brazen in the middle of the day, 11:00 a.m. and then here is the thing. ten minutes later we are dealing with this, a mercedes pulls up and -- me and my friend ran up to them hey, hey and the driver opened the door and what was so crazy about the whole thing was the craziness.

a cable car right there. it is crazy right in daylight. >> dana: your father is shelby steele, amazing man. you were doing a documentary about the george floyd riots and all that happened in minneapolis. so you're there, you call the police, and what happened when you called 911? >> we were hung up or disconnected twice and we were very frustrated. if the police had shown up, they would have seen the other robbery and they would also have seen the robbers. three incidents within 10, 15 minutes. another robber who pulled a gun on my friend. so by showing up the police could have done something or deterred it. they did nothing. they didn't care. >> dana: you tweeted about this and elon musk who now famous for owning twitter said this about

twitter. employees saying that they feel unsafe coming to work in downtown san francisco and have had their car windows smashed. they also got such a no response from the police they rarely bother reporting crimes anymore because nothing happens. and a reporter wrote today the root causes of san francisco's disorder covid lockdowns hastened the city's decline but it won't recover as long as it clings to progressive obsessions. i know that you love that city and that it's heartbreaking what has happened to it and also maddening and very frustrating. what do you think is the next step for the city? with all the retailers closing, crime increasing, people leaving, is it in a doom loop? >> it is. you can just feel if you come to a stoplight, you look down the road, you should see homeless

people up and down the street. this is the city i grew up and lived 40 miles south so i know the city very well. it is a very lively and fun city that's gone. i think the worst thing is, yes, you can blame me for leaving the equipment, you can do that. you should blame the police with not responding but the big problem is the people of san francisco have given up. they have organized their lives around the criminals instead of the law. as long as they keep doing that you have the doom loop or whatever you want to call it if they keep going down and down. so the people need to step up and i really that needs to be the first step. the mayor and the police chief are just getting away with it. >> dana: i look forward to this documentary and i thank you for coming on the show today. >> thank you very much for having me.

>> dana: take care. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: bill, you might not know this. you probably weren't paying attention like i was. wyndham clark is the u.s. open championship. i held off mcilroy by a single stroke. clark's first time winning a major championship and dedicated the victory to his late mother. a year ago he was ranked 293 in the world. that's pretty remarkable. >> bill: unbelievable rise. >> dana: 293 to number one. >> bill: he won a tournament in north carolina a month ago i believe. so look, he is on a roll. he was going up against the best golfers in the world and didn't blink in the end. good for him. >> dana: congratulations. >> bill: well done. pretty good tournament to watch. it is like late night golf. they play in california. president biden is on the campaign trail. first stop was philadelphia for a rally over the weekend. but how two states outside of

roll it. >> president biden: there's a lot of politicians in the country that can't say the word union. and you know i am not one of them. i am proud to say the word, i'm proud to be one of the most po union president in history. it's because that was one thing on saturday. the first big rally of the reelection campaign coming nearly two months after the first month he announced it. jennifer stefano for the "philadelphia inquirer." hello to both of you. he seems to be merging the unions with the environmental groups and things that he got them both locked up. that's what you need is a democrat to win. go to the sound bite about republicans. i thought this was quite tel

telling. >> president biden: let me tell you. it comes after what i've done when they come back to try and get rid of all of the clean energy investments. they try to stop the plan. guess what? they are coming for your jobs. they're coming for your jobs. they are coming for your future. they're coming for the future for your kids and your gran grandkids. >> jobs and kids in the future. what are they not going to do for an american? >> first of all, let me say god save the queen. because we are very concerned about that. we will start there. the "philadelphia inquirer" wrote a gushing article about biden over the weekend. surrounded by union people that love him and he loves them. no questions about biden's mental competence in this

election and that's a problem. but let's talk about jobs. this is a guy whose agenda is going to take away the jobs of pennsylvanians in the fracking industry, and the natural gas industry which is future pennsylvania. the biden green agenda is not going to create jobs, 20 kill jobs and republicans need to get the message out there. also, crime is exploding on philadelphia because of the liberal policies by democrats that were with president biden over the weekend. and he had to use it john fetterman to introduce him in his hoodie and shorts to make biden sound good over the weekend. >> bill: jennifer, how did you score the first big rally? >> i think you can look at the reaction of the union crowd when biden started beating up on the republicans. they liked president trump. they appreciated the way that he brought jobs back to the country, the way that he lowered taxes. more businesses are there and i can tell you what union members

and people who are from all working people in pennsylvania want. they want better lives for their children and things like educational savings account. we call them lifeline scholarships. they are skeptical of the regional greenhouse gas initiative and the cost that will bring to their family and they want to continue to see the business tax cut so they are more jobs here. by the way, that is all the same positions that the democratic governor takes. when biden comes here and is divisive and few studies have shown that people are sick of it on both sides of the aisle. he's on the wrong side of the issues for working people. >> bill: you will see him a lot in philly. you know that right? here are the results from 2020. 2020. biden won the state 50% and trump at 48.8. if you go inside those numbers, he won the statewide vote by 80,000 votes.

but he won the city of philadelphia by almost 500,000. over 81%. he will be on a bee line to that city because that is where democrats win in pennsylvania. >> no question about it, bill. the real question will be in this election cycle when he can't hide in his basement and has to go out in campaign. the collar counties of philadelphia which are a toss-up. they've been leaning blue but there's still a lot of red in those counties. will they still go with fight in time around? 2020 was a referendum on trump and this will be a referendum on joe biden in the economy and i can tell you come up prices of everything are so expensive and inflation is the number one thing people are talking about right now. i have to think people in the suburbs as they are filling up the mini van with gas and going to costco to get eggs and there's a limit of how many eggs they can get and it is so expensive, i have to think that will matter so much heading into the election. >> bill: jennifer, a quick answer.

but your paper quoted a union worker by the name of robert pate. he was asked about biden's age and whether or not it was a concern and he said to his age brings experience. how prominent is that feeling do you believe among democratic voters? >> it will depend on who the president is running against but there is concern in democratic circles about how the president is faring and how he does live with people but the most important thing is people are feeling a lot of things in the western part of the states. the number of votes in the central part of the state equal the number out of the little feet. sometimes philadelphia is overstated. i think a politician that goes and talks about how the green new deal is to increase energy costs and how children are trapped in failing schools across pennsylvania and joe biden is at the behest of the teachers unions, this will matter more than anything else in this upcoming election. >> bill: good to have you both on and we will talk again real soon. thank you jennifer, thank you

>> bill: they are called squatters and they are taking over homes across the country and they are doing it in the most creative ways claiming the property as their own and guaranteeing themselves. while details on what is going on indoors. good morning. >> good morning. this problem has a lot of homeowners saying who is the law protecting coursework homeowners or criminals? and a lot of cities and states its criminals who are being given the benefit of the doubt.

here's a recent example. one word turn colonel got home from active duty she found a man she had never met, a convicted criminal, living inside her house that was for sale. he refused to let her in her own home and when she called the cops in the atlanta suburb, the man showed them a fake lease and claimed he had already paid six months rent so the cops initially told her there was nothing she could do and she would have to go to court to get the man evicted from her house. >> i was very angry. being away from home, had i not been on duty, i would've been in my home. to know that a career criminal could just move in and did not want to leave. >> she was eventually able to get the criminal are moved under an obscure state law but a lot of homeowners in her situation are forced to go through the courts which can cost thousands

of dollars out of their own pocket. chicago-based eviction attorney michael banks said he used to see cases like this once or twice a year and now he is seeing them on a monthly basis. across the country in many cases, housing laws are putting police in a tough spot. >> a split second decision. they can't arrest people without reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed and they are having to tell the owner you have to go to court for the eviction process. >> if you have a vacant property, the advice is to protect yourself. it sounds simple, but make all doors and windows locked and have security camera set up. have a neighbor help keep an eye on things while you are awake. >> bill: it's good advice. thank you garrett. nice to see you in chicago. dana pittard >> dana: bottom line on fox business. it's great to have you. listen to one of the squatters. squatters, they don't claim to

have rights, they get rights to the microphone. >> with that being said, we don't have to leave anything until the police come and tell us. you don't have any right to be in the house. >> i do. according to my lease, me and my girlfriend on the house. >> i have every right to be in your house. no, you don't. but they do? >> very often with the squatters, let's not call them squatters. let's call them criminals. let's call them con artists. let's call them grifters. in many instances, this is breaking and entering. it is a home invasion. it is a crime. it is treated as a civil matter. in the case of this teacher and her family of squatters down in houston, it took six months to get these individuals out of this vacant home.

even after a judge, again, the owner and the realtor had to go to court and the judge ordered this family out of the house. they had a fake lease. that's how they get to stay in the house. they move in and say. the cop show up and they say i vote fake lease and the police say we can't do anything about it. they say in addition, even after the judge ordered them out, i just want to ask the houston school district. this grifters criminal teaches fourth grade in houston. what are you teaching the kids? >> bill: good question. >> the eviction moratorium made this for us because the court system got back. >> bill: the owner's guide kept changing the keys of the house and they couldn't do anything. >> it's crazy. the details of that story, you have a family living in this house that they have no right to begin. a public school teacher is running the graft as you

describe and they have forged documents. how does someone keep their job after the process plays out. how do you remain a public school teacher if this is the conduct and the behavior you have been engaged in for months on end? occasionally you will see stories about squatting and long protracted legal battles over it and i'm always completely blown away because the ownership of private property is pretty sacrosanct in this country. but you have to jump through this many hoops just to reclaim your own property from people who shouldn't be there, i know a lot of people say there ought to be a lot. maybe legislators should look at tweaking some of these laws and should not be this difficult for someone to declare ownership and supremacy over a place they own and other people don't. >> dana: if you try to figuratively smoke them out of the house like having parties on the lawn. >> nickel blackpink 4247. >> they will call the police on

you. very often the squatter is a tenant who won't get out. but these people are criminals with fake leases. >> dana: homeowners beware. take care of yourself and your property. great to see you both. >> catch you later. >> bill: virtual reality can be therapy. how vr headsets are helping patients confront the biggest fear. that's cool. we will check that out. a deputy risking his life to save a man trapped in floodwaters. an amazing video about how all of this turned out. >> are you okay? oh, my god. are you okay? helping businesses both large and small, communities and the people who live and work there grow and thrive.
