>> i'm so mad i'm trying not to explode. >> they just told us it was delayed. they delayed it and delayed it and eventually at 4:00 a.m. they said it was canceled. >> dana: millions of travelers are facing widespread disruptions at airports across the country. severe weather causing delays and cancellations leaving many passengers stranded. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. bill hemmer is off and i'm glad bill melugin you made it here, right? >> bill: after my own flight cancellation earlier this week. great to be with you. airport delays building rapidly today all over the country with storms moving across the midwest and northeast as we approach the busiest travel weekend of summer. flight aware misery map showing hundreds of delays and cancellations today since 7:00 a.m. more than 2,000 since midnight and the day is just

getting started. >> dana: let's get to alexis mcadams live at newark airport in new jersey. how is it going? >> not so bad right now. a lot better than it has been since saturday and sunday where some of the people i've been talking to have been sleeping at the floor at airports across the east coast trying to get home. we checked with airlines to see how they are doing. things aren't back to 100% and entering the busy time for the july 4th holiday weekend. as we mentioned people have not had anywhere to go except sleep on the floor. >> six hours, not even a bottle of water. >> frustrating. the line doesn't move. i know they don't have nothing to offer for us. that's kind of pretty hopeless. >> this is the scene at airports across the country as more than 28,000 flights and counting have been delayed and 7200 canceled since sunday. not a lot of good news. to say people are fed up is an understatement.

hundreds of passengers left waiting on the tarmac for hours thinking they will leave but find out they aren't going anywhere. the cell phone video that captured a line of some angry passengers delayed more than 24 hours over at jfk. they demanded answers from american airlines. the person who took the video tells us he was told the flight crew was, quote, missing. not what you want to hear when you are supposed to be heading on your international flight. storms along the east coast. technology issues and staffing shortages at the center of the chaos according to government agencies. not enough air traffic controllers at the new york hubs according to officials. an issue ongoing for months. out of all the airlines united had the most cancellations. ceo of united airlines blaming the faa. the faa wants to work on this together. it doesn't make any customers feel better. >> someone already said that the next flight may leave july 1st. so we're thinking of getting a

car and driving back home. i can't be away from work that long. >> a live look at the flight aware misery map. 447 delays currently. 169 cancellations and it is not over yet. let's pull this up now and go to chicago. weather across the country has had storms and smoke moving in from the canadian wildfires is leading to low visibility. back at newark we can tell you it is not going to bring good news to the customers. many are still sitting on the tarmac trying to get out of new york city. the delays come as the tsa a gearing up for the long holiday travel weekend expecting to have more people pass through at the airports than before the pandemic for july 4th holiday weekend. >> dana: my sister will be one of them and i hope she gets here. thanks. you travel a lot and see this all the time. >> bill: flying to the border this weekend. i go to delta at lax he scans my lug an and says sorry, they

canceled the flight. they don't have a crew. >> dana: the crew issue is one. air traffic controller is another. problems on our hands in the travel industry. a comprehensive new study of formal football player shows the risk of development cte is closely linked to the collective force of head hits over an entire career. it is not just the intensity of hits to the head but also the number when you add it all up. former cleveland browns quarterback bernie kosar telling us about his personal troubles. let's bring in the ceo of the concussion legacy foundation. you are saying this is happening for young people from high school all the way up through the pros. >> yeah, we've wondered for a long time why some people get ct and some don't. we have had a big focus on concussions for the last 15 years. it is not concussions that are causing the ct. it is the repetitive hits. both the number of them and the

strength of them. that means if we want to prevent ct in current players in the next generation we have to change how repractice and play and how early kids get hit in the head hundreds of times a year. >> dana: the g force per hit for high school football players. depending on the position you play, wide receiver, defensive back and defensive line. so these numbers, what does 28.8 mean? what does it feel like? can you describe? >> yeah. the graphic where they showed is like hitting a car accident at 30 miles-per-hour. it is not a small hit. something that as a former football player myself i took thousands of but add up over time but we're concerned about the bigger hits. one interesting fact about football is that we worry about concussions. but they aren't often the

hardest hits you take. a football player will take 300 to 400 hits harder than a concussion over their career. getting rid of the kickoff, which we've done with high school programs is probably the right way to go. >> dana: and then what other sort of changes have you seen, concrete changes either in the high school or in the nfl? >> well, we've made a lot of changes around targeting players, players that you don't see coming. i this i the biggest change that is going to prevent ct going forward is changing when kids start to play tackle football. there is a bill in the state of new york that would ban youth tackle football participation before 12 and force kids to convert to flag football. it is clear in flag football you don't get the repetitive hits. cdc found the median number of head impacts is 378 for tackle

football. and flag football player it's eight. we would never expect to see cte come out of a flag football player. so if you talk about adding those hits up over a career, my concerning thing having a young son if you start them young and they are successful. if you start at age five playing tackle football and play through college i'm not sure if we have negative ct cases with that profile. the biggest thing is we control who gets cte and who doesn't. we need to change how we play football. >> dana: appreciate your expertise and passion for it. we'll stay in touch. thank you. >> thanks, dana. >> bill: next guest is suffering from traumatic brain issues after 12 seasons in the nfl. bernie kosar. former cleveland browns quarterback. thank you for joining us. >> good to be with you today. whether you call it cte when we're dead or passed or tbi,

traumatic brain injury, now that we're alive some of those brain injuries, fencing, midbrain disorders is tragic. not only what is happening with ex-nfl players but you guys were talking about what is happening with youth and younger people. not just in the sport of football. this concussion issue, this traumatic brain injury that we're seeing with so much of our military and youth, it is such an issue that is mainly because of the effects on myself, some, of course, near and dear to me now. i'm trying to find an alternate outcome other than some of the ways that unfortunately us nfl guys have been passing with these traumatic brain injuries that what result in the cte. >> bill: i was reading during

your nfl career you were sacked 250 times. i would gels you hit your head. how many concussions do you suspect you had during your play career and some symptoms you were experiencing as you continued to play? >> you know, bill, i'm proud to be sitting here this morning after almost 40 surgeries, 80 broken bones, 100 plus documented concussions, 15 seizures. we are attempting to do this interview a half dozen years ago. i was on probably 50 plus pills for 25 plus years, this whole century trying to figure out a protocol and an option that allow me to have a healthy lifestyle where i'm able to articulate and enunciate and communicate multiple syllable words. it wasn't always like that. the type of injuries that

happened as a result of playing and stuff, heck, i would think as much as technology has changed, as much as we made advancements in society, heck, some of the same doctors that i had in the 1980s and 90s -- i know we didn't know as much back then. they are the same doctors doing the same stuff to guys in the nfl today. heck, the two of the quarterbacks for the miami dolphins ended up having a traumatic brain injuries on the field of thursday night football this year. ended up when i saw the doctors they ended up having the same type doctors. being able now to try to bring awareness for this for guys like myself to try to come out the other side of it is something like i'm really proud to be seeing what dr. chris is doing and for guys like yourself, bill and dana, to bring awareness to this on your show today.

>> bill: thank you for your insight and you suffered over 100 concussions. a jaw dropping number. we wish and your health the best and thank you so much for coming on this morning to share what you have been experiencing. >> god bless you bill and dana. i use the phrase you matter. we care about you. >> dana: thank you so much. 2024 republican hopeful miami mayor francis suarez had an awkward exchange on a foreign policy question. >> will you be talking about the uighurs in your campaign? >> the what? >> the uighurs. >> what's a uighur. >> you have to get smart on that. >> you gave me homework. i will look at what did you call it. the weeble? >> the uighurs. >> dana: a swift response after that i'm well aware of suffering of the uighurs in china and being enslaved because of their

faith. all people of faith suffer there. i didn't recognize the pronunciation he used. that's on me. i thought the pronunciation sounded right to me on uighurs. break-out moments in a primary, crowded primary matter a lot. and they can either be positive or negative. francis suarez had a good roll-out and did well on "the view." if you go on hugh hewitt, you have to study and pay attention and don't go into that one blind. >> bill: reminiscent. we'll see what happens. looking at the bigger picture on china. republican presidential candidates are talking tough trying to stand out. what are the leading contenders saying about the rocky relationship with beijing. rich edson has more from washington. >> over the last week the

republican candidates have intensified their sparring over china. trump administration led a campaign of -- in a speech yesterday in new hampshire the former president defended his record and knocked his main rival. >> ron desantis opposed my china tariffs strongly and sided with the communists in china. >> he told fox last week he would use tariffs to get china to the negotiating table and even support tax incentives for critical industries like semi conductors, medicine and communications equipment. >> we need to declare independence from china economically and we need to make sure that we have the ability to project the appropriate strength in the pacific to work with our allies to deter china. >> former u.n. ambassador nikki haley warned china that an

invasion of taiwan, her administration would decouple from china's economy if they invaded and called the former president's china policy too narrow. >> he was singularly focused on our trade relationship with china. he was right about our trade abuses. it was and still is a critical issue. but trump did too little about the rest of the chinese threat. he also showed moral weakness in his zeal to befriend president xi. >> she says she would push congress to revoke permanent normal trade relations with china until it stopped the flow of fentanyl into the united states. >> bill: china likely to be one of many topics in the fox news debate of the gop. thank you, rich. >> dana: hundreds of billions of dollars in covid relief funds to help small businesses lost to fraud. is there any way to get it back

>> bill: welcome back. new developments in the investigation into the origins of covid-19. house investigators subpoenaed a group of researchers who down played the theory in 2019. what it means for in

investigation. >> it takes us back to the earliest days of the pandemic, if there was an effort to suppress the lab leak theory, the chairman of the house select committee brad within wenstrup asked for a paper. sought to discredit the lab leak theory working closely with doctors fauci and collins. he wants the messages about june 30th, two days from now. >> when you try and suppress a theory, scientific theory, a lab leak theory then you suppress the entire scientific discourse. the question is, why? >> wenstrup wants the authors to appear on july 11th. democrats aren't on board. they say it's an effort to vilify doctors fauci and

collins. they are trying to advance a biased partisan narrative and politicizing an issue of public health importance in the process. it comes after the office of the director of national intelligence declassified information confirming that the wuhan lab had bio safety concerns related to genetic engineering. for the messages dr. anderson is cooperating with the committee so far but his attorney did not respond to an email from fox asking if he plans to comply with the friday deadline. >> bill: you'll stay on in, griff. >> dana: covid relief was supposed to help struggling small businesses who really needed it during the pandemic. a federal watchdog finds more than 200 billion may have been lost to fraud and abuse. let's bring in dagen mcdowell and brian brenberg. i have a question, dagen. how is this report different from the other ones? i feel like are we getting the

same report over and over or is this $2 hundred billion in addition to the money that we're already considered loss? >> it's a new up date of how much money was stolen. this does not include the unemployment insurance fraud that went on. i just want to point out that 200 billion would fund nasa for more than eight years, that's the scope of this. the thieves and crooks made off with the most money from the small business administration economic injury disaster loan program. the aidl program. more than 1/3 of the $400 billion in those funds was stolen. a third. now one of the sba executives disputes this figure. but just remember this, when joe biden gets up today and talks about investing, no, you aren't investing, you are spending money. so remember the waste and fraud and abuse when it comes to the

government handling that money. and also never, ever again will the american people be frightened into accepting a shutdown of this country and a shutdown of our economy and told to huddle in our homes and accepted ictus from unelected bureaucrats because that's what happen. >> the small business administration inspector general put out a report trying to figure out what happened. a quote from it. it says in part the agency weakened or removed the controls necessary to prevent fraudsters from easily gaining access to these programs and provide assurance that only eligible entities receive funds. however, the allure of easy money and this pay and chasten wire onment attracted an overwhelming number of fraudsters to the programs. brian, how does something like this happen on such a big scale? >> if you try to spend

1.7 trillion in a year, that's going to happen. it is too much money for any agency to allocate and the truth is we can talk about this with the sba but it is happening all across our government. since 2004, open the books found you have $3 trillion in fraud, waste and abuse in government spending. so we should be thinking about this when the biden administration talks about we need a climate emergency, what does that mean? we'll spend all sorts of money really fast and what does that mean? more of this. >> it literally came down to oh, you look like a -- you might be related to hunter biden somehow. let's write you a check. you don't look like you have a job. you'll go out and get a maserati and spend it on hookers at a strip club somewhere. that's what happened. >> dana: will we get any of it back? >> they have gotten $30 billion back or something. think how much money and time we are spending trying to get all

the wasted money back. in a private organization, if you obliterated all your controls and didn't make careful decisions you would be held accountable and lose money and go out of business. the regulators would come after you. who has been held accountable here and who lost their job? i'm not aware anybody has any consequence for this decision making. >> they did 1,000 indictments and president biden and congress extended the statute of limitations from 5 to 10 years so the feds can investigate and nail the people who stole this money. there have been a lot of arrests. >> bill: want to get your thoughts on this other topic. if we can pull up the tweets here. albertsons are trying to urge shoppers to donate to dei donation requests. we're used to seeing tip requests, 30, 15, 20%. now they've been asking shoppers to donate to dei causes. your thoughts on that? >> they are playing their customers.

this is one supermarket chain owned by albert sons in washington state. they know their customer base because it is like oh, i'll signal my virtue at the cash register. is everybody watching? is everybody watching? $2, i am so proud of myself. that's what it is. >> do a little homework. know where your charitable money is going. by the way, the grocery store could just pay their employees well and kept prices down and leave you with more money to give to your own charitable causes. >> dana: i agree. a special tonight called vision for america's future at 6:00 p.m. fox business. >> bill: celebrating our freedoms and we'll fix the country in an hour. >> that's a good one. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: new charges against a man who police say is a serial rapist. what matthew nilo is facing and the evidence prosecutors say they have against him. revolutionizing farming in

attacked twice 11 days apart. earlier this month nilo pleaded not guilty in the attacks of four other women in another boston neighborhood. prosecutors linking nilo to all these cases through dna. right now he is out on a $5 hundred thousand cash bail and ordered to wear a gps monitoring bracelet. one woman spoke out against it. >> i waited so long to have my day in court with him and, you know, the fact that now he is able to just go back to his life and walk around for a year and, you know, he could get away or, you know, he could do it to somebody else. >> nilo's attorney says his client denies all the allegations and plans to present a legal and factual challenge to the government's case. nilo, who lives in new jersey, has also lived in new york, california, wisconsin where police in madison are reportedly working to see if any other

parents. parents should have the freedom to decide when and how they address those topics based on our culture, religious and personal beliefs. >> among the concerns for these parents books like born ready, the true story of a boy named penelope and born ready. a gay montgomery county father urged the school board it should not back down. >> we cannot risk the erosion of an inclusive education system based on individual comfort zones. education is about preparing our youth for the diverse world they will inherent providing inclusive education does not infringe on personal beliefs. >> parents seeking the opt out say the material is age inappropriate for their children. >> bill: we are starting to see more parents across the country pushing back more often. mike emanuel live in d.c.

>> dana: anchor of "the story" martha maccallum. we can ask you questions now. what's interesting is this is a policy advisor for a parents group coalition of virtue. for the meeting tonight they are closing it off. they don't want to have, as they say, something disruptive. she is saying this is an attempt to sigma advertise protests and families coming and showing up to show support for restoring the opt out option for parents. it is completely unnecessary for security is just a way of demonizing. >> they have a problem on their hands here. i see it in a couple of levels. one level is that they have tried to open up the teaching in these schools to be more inclusive and to talk about all of these issues. but now their problem is that in the struggle for diversity, now you have people from all over the world living in this community who have deeply held religious beliefs and they want that diversity to be understood in the school as well.

so they are saying you feel that my children need to be taught about this. we feel they need to be taught about the fact there are religions around the world and all over this country as well that don't believe that this is something that is acceptable or teachable. here is the problem. the schools opened the door on this themselves, right? they can't pick and choose which social issues they want to share with children because once you've done that, they've also negated their responsibility. before we send them into the world. news flash. they aren't ready for the world. they can't read and they can't write and they are behind in math. so you basically turned your back on the mission of teaching in order to include all this other stuff and now you have left children without the ability to go out into the world ready and educated. >> bill: how will the school district think they could ban parents from attending one of their meetings? it is their kids, funded by

taxpayers. the school receives money because of the kids being there. they have every right to be there. >> a huge ad for school choice. a hunger for this seeing in states that never would have considered it before, right? pennsylvania, now the governor in pennsylvania wants to open up to school choice. this is a tinderbox that parents are not going to allow being shut out of these meetings. it is not going the fly. >> dana: new york city mayor adams started a new thing if you look the "new york post" cover. martha, they are going to introduce 2 to 5 minutes of mindful breathing every day. here is mayor adams on what it means to him. >> breathing calms your nervous system and helps to center us and help us regain our sense of balance and focus. it is a valuable low-cost tool that has proven to improve mental health and well-being.

>> dana: remember the fight about prayer in schools. breathing is great. who is against it? >> i'm not against breathing. i don't think it is a bad thing at all. the few minutes can be used for prayer if a child uses to use it for prayer. prayer is also meditative and scientifically proven that if you know how to do calming breathing it lowers your heart rate. kids are stressed out. we know that. if they do it for a few minutes at the beginning of the day it might help them focus throughout the course of the day. i'm all for that. >> dana: sometimes i remember to breathe. >> i do, too. it's important. >> dana: right now i'm okay. >> it lowers your heart rate if you breathe. >> dana: so does petting a dog. >> that does, true. >> bill: that's true. i'll take the dog. >> dana: dogs to school. everything solved. we'll see you later on "the story."

>> bill: so you see it there riots erupting in paris overnight after police shot a 17-year-old at a traffic stop. protestors threw fireworks at riot police. the teenager was shot after refusing to obey orders. witnesses say they describe it as an execution. >> dana: want to get you to a major warning for dog owners as we head into beach weather, vets want you to know that sand could

be a big problem if it gets into your dog's mouth. and they swallow it. clumps of wet sand could block intestines leading to health problems. nobody wants that. the amazing doctor is here. what should people know when they take their little pooch to the beach? >> keep the dog from eating sand. that is because some people will drop food or anything like that in the sand. that is what the dog is going after. if he just runs through the sand and the water and everything, i don't think that will hurt him at all. michigan has a lot of beaches but i've never seen a dog with a sand impact shun. we see it in horses because they eat off the ground. it is very important, yes, that the dog when he swims in the saltwater he gets a shower afterwards and if you think there is some sand, feed him a

large amount of food right away because the intestinal tract of dogs is seven times the body length. it goes through very fast. >> dana: the symptoms, if this happens to your dog, could be things like panting, constipation, restlessness and a hard mass in the stomach which makes sense. another prevention tip for dog owners is to bring plenty of freshwater and not allow the dog to drink the salty, sandy water. that has happened to us, doctor, sometimes percy will get there and he runs so fast like the wind and, of course, sometimes he dives down and grabs a little bit of saltwater. >> that doesn't hurt a little bit. when you go home and put freshwater for him and basically rinse him off. get the salt off him. that's bad for the skin. the main thing is definitely to

make sure that there is nothing on the beach that smells or tastes good for a dog. otherwise he would eat it. if you have a problem, i have had it where a deer was killed and the blood fell on some rocks and the dog just ate the blood on the rocks and sand normally will go through because, like i said, unless they eat a whole cupful of sand it won't hurt them. a little bit of sand goes through and yes there is a -- it scrapes the wall, too. >> dana: if you thought it was an excuse for me to show everybody pictures of my dog, percy, you are correct. the good news is you helped me. we took on the issue of percy getting into marijuana and found it at the park or beach. he hasn't been high in seven months now. we are in good shape.

thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: before we go. an embarrassing moment caught on camera. a man at the college world series dys ed by the woman next to him. she is like no thank you. maybe she is a florida fan. the tigers beat the gators 18-4 to win the championship. would that be embarrassing? >> bill: on national tv, yeah. >> dana: maybe their parents are watching. "the faulkner focus" is next. julie banderas is in for harris, hi. julie. >> julie: fox news alert. one of the i.r.s. whistleblowers revealing more about the federal investigation that led to what many are called hunter's sweetheart plea deal. he is sent to seal that deal in less than a month. the more relearn and the more people saying scrap that deal. hello, i'm julie banderas in for harris. prosecutors say hunter failed to
