of weakness to us adversaries. smooth and timely transitions of confirmed leadership. central to the defense of the united states, and stable and

orderly leadership. transitions are also vital to maintaining our unmatched network of allies and partners and their crucial for our military readiness. tuberville is protesting a pentagon decision to provide paid leave and travel time for any service member who needs reproductive health services, including abortions and fertility treatments, and are posted in states where abortion is now banned. post dobbs decision the pentagon is adamant that it is not funding abortions. the center is not allowing a simple vote. >> it will take approximately 668 hours to confirm all these military nominations. that is 27 days if senate works around the clock. if they did nominations for eight hours a day it would take 84 days. so just vote is not an answer.

>> these holds will affect military read enes and others may opt to leave the military since the hold. top republican leaders have come out against tuberville's actions saying it further politicizes the military. >> i don't support putting a hold on military nominations. i don't support that. >> it's not just the four-star generals being punished. i was at the naval academy on friday for the superintendent's retirement. the new head of the academy cannot take over because of the hold. as plebe summer gets underway military's top leaders are frustrated by the decision and feel they are being held hostage. >> bill: we'll see who makes the move on this.

jennifer griffin. thank you. >> dana: they're surprised about it. there are 45 co-sponsors for this bill. that gets lost a little bit in the situation. d.o.d. is extremely frustrated. deputy press secretary said this. >> we look at 89% of all general and five officer positions that could be vacant and require senate confirmation and facing rising challenges from around the world. the longer the holds remain, the greater risk the department runs in experiencing knowledge and expertise gaps in certain critical and difficult to fill positions. >> dana: this fight is not between tuberville and d.o.d. necessarily right now. there is a lot of action to be -- waiting for on the senate. impressive young woman and she will join us next hour. >> bill: check out tuberville's piece from two weeks ago. if you can't pass legislation to authorize abortion policy it shouldn't be the policy and goes

on to describe his feelings on that. we'll see as we stated who makes the next move. >> dana: let's get you to this. students are not making up for covid-era learning losses in reading and math. test results show students would need at least four more months of instruction in each subject just to catch up to pre-pandemic levels. a week or so ago rice said the test scores are a national humiliation. >> educators are very concerned about this. the study was conducted by nwea, a nonprofit grade school assessment and research organization. they looked at data from 6.7 million school students, public school students in grades 3-8. among the key findings gains in student achievement fell short of pre-pandemic levels in most grams. the very youngest students did better but everyone else not

achieving as much as they were expected. over the last school year, even though most students were back in physical classrooms, achievement gaps did not shrink and some grades widened slightly. the study estimates in order to close these gaps, the average student would need an additional 4.1 months of reading instruction and 4 1/2 months of math. study co-author lewis says covid-19 may not be an emergency but very much still dealing with the fallout from the crisis. nwea says the amount of additional schooling required to close the gaps cannot be compressed in a single year or achieved with a short-term intervention. schools should invest in what works based on local data and expand programs for students who need additional support. they also say it is crucial to keep parents in the loop with regular updates on their children's achievement and also suggestions on how they can support their student at home.

dana. >> dana: parents are up in arms about it and rightly so. jonathan serrie, thank you so much. >> bill: interesting story. think of the billions of dollars spent over the last few years. glenn youngkin, we'll talk to him momentarily coming up on the program. nine minutes past. the prosecutor who led the hunter biden investigation disputing testimony from an i.r.s. whistleblower says the probe was interfered with. jason foster joins us, the founder of empower oversight.org that represents i.r.s. whistleblower gary shapley. lindsey graham was talking with sean last night and had a lot of questions about this. listen to his questions first and turn it over to you. watch. >> here is what i do know. that i don't trust the system to tell me the truth. i want to know what happened, who did you talk to dismiss the allegation? how did you dispose of this

allegation? i this for 1,000% for sure. the f.b.i. and other department of justice officials briefed mr. weiss and his team about the 1023. they were told by other people in the department of justice this is not russian disinformation you need to look at it. >> bill: a handful of questions. can you answer any of them for us in our audience, sir? >> well, mr. weiss most recent letter to congress. he sent three. none of them have clarified the situation, just sewed confusion. his most recent one relies on this distinction between his authority that he may have asked for as a special attorney as opposed to special counsel and relies to claim that this i.r.s. whistleblowers maybe misunderstood something. but the whistleblowers were cross-examined for 14 hours by both sides on capitol hill. mr. weiss hasn't been cross-examined or subject to

that scrutiny. this is a distraction from the core issue, which the core issue is what he would have to deal with if he were questioned before congress. he handcuffed the investigators and didn't let them pursue any leads that would have gone toward president biden. and more importantly he let biden political appointees weigh in contrary to the assurance of independence that he and mr. garland provided to congress and the public. so there is a specific example. if people will look at the transcript exhibit 2, page 44 and 45. the agent referral memo specifically lists the 2014 tax years as felony years and even leslie wolf, the agent who the u.s. attorney working for mr. weiss who is most vocal in her stopping the investigators from following the leads she didn't want them to follow. even she agreed the 2014 tax years should have been charged.

the tax years with the burisma income and felony years. the question for mr. weiss is, if he was allowed to have the authority to charge in any district he wanted, why didn't he charge those -- the 2014 tax year in the district of columbia before allowing the agreement on the statute of limitations to lapse? now that he allowed that to lapse, those cannot be brought and he is responsible for that decision. >> dana: i worked at d.o.j. for a while as a spokesperson, not a lawyer. one of the things that as i read david weiss's comments, it seems to me he knew he shouldn't formally ask. it had been made clear don't ask for something that's not going to happen or have to make a big mess of. i imagine that might be a scenario and something he should be asked about. what did the line attorneys have written an internal memo about all the different prosecution paths call a j memo? does that exist?

>> i don't. as i said, the memo from the agents referring to the prosecutors' charges is actually part of it is in the transcript of gary shapley's testimony before the ways and means committee. and the -- they don't send up a memo like that if the prosecutors don't agree with it typically. in fact, the memo shows that leslie wolf who shapley dealt with agreed with those charges. so if the assistant u.s. attorney in charge of the case agreed with the charges and they went -- first of all, why would they go to the d.c. political appointee at mr. biden at all to ask permission because he supposedly add this authority. if he did had the authority to bring them over matthew brig's objection from the u.s. attorney office in d.c. why didn't he? why did he allow them to lapse? >> bill: why would it matter

whether you file charges in california or washington, d.c.? what's the difference? >> because it has to do with the rules of the justice department and where -- who is authorized to bring charges where. we have u.s. attorneys who have -- as mr. weiss admitted in his second letter to congress, he is geographicly limited to where he can bring charges unless he has special authority, which he claims he had and yet didn't bring the charges. that's what he needs to go up to congress and answer questions about. >> bill: as we said from the beginning, someone is lying and i don't know when and if we'll find that out. thank you for coming on today. >> dana: thank you. >> angry that no one has told us earlier that we had to leave in such a fashion. someone is not doing their job. i'm angry. >> bill: a pretty place to live but a major landslide is forcing evacuations in southern california. some homes still actively sliding. so how the crews are responding to that.

dana. >> dana: we're waiting a house hearing on the suppression of information on covid. the evidence that lawmakers directly imply indicates fauci. >> bill: shaky holiday travel weekend. the experts say travel troubles are just getting rolling. publig and from the army reserve. my retirement funds allow me to enjoy what i love to do. as long as you can make an impact, why stop? i've struggled with generalized myasthenia gravis. but the picture started changing when i started on vyvgart. vyvgart is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are anti-achr antibody positive.

>> bill: that was from a moment ago actually a bit earlier today, right? historic moment for nato. turkey gives the green light for sweden to join. there will now be 32 member nations in nato. you have finland with an 800 mile border with russia. president biden says he won't back ukraine's bid because of the ongoing war . we await biden's meeting with turkey and zelensky happening today and tomorrow. we'll bring you updates. here in the meantime back to you. >> dana: president putin met with the man who tried overthrowing the military. he said he and prigozhin met. reports claim that nearly 50,000 russian soldiers have died in

the war in ukraine around the 500th day of the war. russia has acknowledged the deaths of just over 6,000 soldiers. quite a discrepancy there. as the ukrainians have had some success moving forward the russians add another 100, another 100, another 100. none of it is sustainable. >> bill: the news about swede sen the headline of the summit. >> bill: we'll see what zelensky says tomorrow. >> dana: just before the break a landslide in southern california putting more than a dozen homes at risk of destruction. authorities say at least ten homes have already been destroyed. jonathan hunt is live on the scene in bowling hills estates, california. good morning, jonathan. >> good morning to you from a foggy rolling hills estates. trust me when i say five minutes or so ago behind us you had a clear view across this deep ravine of some of those destroyed homes.

look at the aerial shots from earlier. they clearly show the devastation here. a dozen homes are completely uninhabitable and some have slid into the ravine. more are on their way. authorities say there is nothing they can do to stop the work of mother nature at this point. the county supervisor was here meeting with residents just yesterday. she was here also over the weekend and she said in that intervening 24 hours, between her visits, the ground had shifted some 20 feet. listen here to the county superviseor. >> the movement is still really astounding to me how quickly these homes are literally collapsing and sliding down the hill. >> a dozen homes already destroyed. we are told this morning that another 16 here are at risk.

some of these people, by the way, have lived in these homes for decades and there is no way that they are ever getting back in simply because they haven't just lost their homes, they've lost the ground that those homes sit on. that will continue to be the case as these homes slide down into this ravine. terrifying and devastating for so many residents, dana. >> dana: thank you. we'll keep an eye on that. >> bill: back from one coast to another. in washington a house subcommittee today will investigate the origins of the covid pandemic and whether or not critical information was covered up. meanwhile the house energy and commerce committee is calling into question the legality of fauci's appointment and millions of dollars in research grants. congresswoman kathy mcmorris rodgers is chair of that committee and with us in studio. good morning. what do you want to know about the fauci matter? >> bill, as you said, what we have uncovered through our

investigation is secretary hhs secretary did not follow federal law when i was appointing these leaders dr. fauci, the highest paid federal employee, dr. fauci who made decisions as well as other leaders at nih that made decisions over billions in grants including a most recent grant, a new health grant, eco health alliance that was involved. they were the ones that facilitated the research at wuhan lab in china. these people were not properly appointed. the abuse of power not only during covid-19 and the pandemic, but the abuse of power by people that are not -- in these positions. >> dana: how far back does it go? >> it goes back to december of 2021. so it is the last -- since december 2021, these individuals were to be reappointed. this is an accountability measure that was put into the

law by congress in 21st century cures because we believed it was important that these individuals be held accountable. in this case secretary has not been -- he has not been health and human services, public health agencies have not been accountable to congress across the board. they lied to us in early 2022. nih lied and said they made the appointments, couldn't produce the documents. then they produced this misleading chart again that was not accurate and then he just recently retroactively made these appointments but it raises a lot of questions because dr. fauci, dr. glass and others are no longer in these positions. >> is he retired and beyond the reach of your committee? >> they were making decisions over billions of dollars of grants without a proper

appointment. they did not follow secretary did not follow the constitution or federal law insuring these individuals were acting lawfully. >> dana: one of the things we found here. the first you were seeing this given to our show and fox news so viewers could hear first about the house select subcommittee on covid. you will say on january 31st, 2020, dr. fauci prompted proximal origin, the goal was to disprove the lab leak theory to avoid blaming china. they employed fatally flawed science to achieve its goal. they used proximal origin with an attempt to keep secret the lab leak theory. will you hear from dr. fauci? >> we want to hear from him. a select committee speaker mccarthy put in place. they are meeting today. these federal agencies have not been held accountable or not

been accountable to congress or the american people for that matter. we are not -- we are going to continue to demand that these questions are answered. >> bill: last question. you say billions in research grants, right? >> yes. >> bill: i have a number of 25 billion. maybe more or less, still a lot of money. how much went to wuhan? >> well, we know that there was a new grant to wuhan that was made since these appointments were not in place. so that is an abuse of power by an unlawful person, dr. fauci in this example. >> bill: a million, 600,000. >> it is millions of dollars that have been going to the eco health alliance and ultimately to wuhan lab. that funding. there was a new grant that was -- it put into question. why are we continuing to give

money, congress does not believe we should be giving money to eco health alliance? >> dana: congress did not authorize it, the other issue. congress controls the purse strings. did they not go through proper channels then? >> exactly. these are people that are not-in-lawful position making decisions over billions of dollars not accountable to taxpayers and not being spent responsible and effective and in this case not lawful what's being done. that's our responsibility to be -- to provide the oversight and make sure that funds are being spent the way that was intended. this is taxpayer money. >> bill: thank you for your time and great to see you in person. >> great to be here. >> first i think it's clear the media does not want me to be the candidate. they have tried to create a narrative that the race is over. this will be a state by state contest. >> dana: ron desantis responding to criticism that his presidential campaign is

the children they knew could do better were being allowed to skate through. this is what's happened across virginia and across america and why we went to work right away in the commonwealth to reestablish parents' prominent right in their kids' lives to make decision and reestablished expectations of excellence and why we provided choice in public school systems. this is a massive, massive problem that is affecting all america. we have to get focused on it. we have to put parents first, we have to reestablish expectations of excellence or we'll lose a whole generation of children. >> bill: i want to read the times headline. u.s. progress stagnated last year. we're seeing evidence of backsliding. governor, we spent billions of dollars for education in america. why is that happening? >> just like in virginia, where over the last two previous administrations, expectations were systemically lowered and as

a result, kids were allowed to get by by doing less. that's backsliding. if we don't expect a lot of our children, we aren't going to get a lot out of our children. that's what's happened. in order to make the numbers look right or make people feel good about the fact their school is perceived to be doing better than it really s. i call it is honesty gap. we see the numbers in virginia where the scores historically of our state-run tests continue to go up while the national comparative tests go down. we have got to intervene here. this is why elections matter. we have to stand up for parents, we have to restore excellence and expectations. we have our mid-terms this year in virginia. we have virginia's entire house, entire senate up. we're off cycle and this is a moment for voters to step forward and again make a giant statement that the future of virginia is about our children and we've got to putted indication at the top of the

ballot. >> bill: four years ago this fall you shocked the world. your election victory in virginia shook up a lot of people. now you want to get the entire state house. if you do you can do a lot of things that you want. however, republicans don't seem to be catching up to democrats when it comes to voting. let me share this with you. in 2020 republicans early voting by the numbers were 30 1/2%, democrats well over 40%. 2022 republicans inched up a bit at 33%. democrats were ahead at 40%. rnc has the thing called bank your vote. what are you doing in virginia to show people how you vote in america in 2024? >> so in 2023, as you appropriately said, we have our entire house and senate up. these are critical elections. i believe to the future of the commonwealth we have accomplished a ton but we continue to see blockage.

we've seen blockage from the senate democrats and progressives that want to put dealers in front of kids and want to prioritize big tech over families. won't allow california to decide what kind of cars we buy. this election matters and why we're rolling out secure your vote virginia.com. republicans got to stop sitting on the sidelines and allowing the democrats to do a better job of voting early. i'm tired of us going into elections down thousands of votes. secure your vote virginia.com provides an easy way to make a plan to vote early, to get on the permanent absentee ballot. to vote early by mail or make a plan to vote early. we have to get out the vote. these elections are critical. through secure your vote virginia.com you can make a plan to do exactly that. it is time for us to stand up and make sure our votes with counted. >> bill: a lot of rules have

changed in america since 2020 and you have to roll with them or otherwise you lose. governor, thank you for your time and see how the vote goes this fall in your home state. thank you. >> i would ask everybody in virginia to go to secure your vote virginia.com and make a plan to vote early. >> bill: thank you, governor. talk again soon. thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: it is going, going, gone. he wins the 2023mlb home run derby. he made his father proud, since he won the home run derby 16 years ago. did you know that? >> bill: i did. i usually watch that. i don't watch the pitch of that thing. i'll check out the all-star game tonight and see how it goes. meghan rapinoe has weighed in on biological males competing

federal government abandoned equipment on his property leaving gaps in the wall for migrants to sneak into the country. let's bring in russell johnson. sorry for what you are going through. let's show people clips from your camera of suspected drug smugglers as you tell us the situation as you see it. >> good morning, dana, thank you for having me on this morning. it is just appalling what this administration is doing with all this material that has been left behind in the desert. if i ran my business the way this administration is running this country, i would be broke overnight. >> dana: do you run cattle there? >> yes, ma'am, we're a cow/calf operation, fourth generation and been here for over 100 years along the u.s./mexico border. >> dana: how have you found the migrant crisis, do you think it's a crisis where you are? >> it is absolutely a crisis

when the rights and needs of people that are entering this country illegally are held higher than the rights and safety of american citizens. that's absolutely a crisis. and an extreme mix-up of priorities by this administration. >> dana: call for four is a map of luna county that shows how very close you are to mexico. i'm wondering, as you look at some of those hulking pieces of metal in the desert not doing anything. environmentally that's not good. >> absolutely. this material is taking up pasture land that could be utilized by cattle for grazing. we're a desert down here and requires a lot of area to graze cattle. when you've got this material that could have been used to construct a border wall to protect this country, instead of it being laying out there in the desert rusting away. that's taxpayer dollars that are sitting there rusting in the

desert and from what we've been told, contractors are telling us that the u.s. government is talking about scrapping this material so you have brand-new material that was -- that has all the time and effort invested in it to construct wall panels to be scrapped for pennies on the dollar for what it's actually worth. >> dana: have you been in touch with or heard from your congressional leadership or anyone in the administration about your concerns? have you heard from them? >> i've heard from nobody. it seems like this whole border issue, there are so many things going wrong in this country in the last couple of years that it's almost like this whole border issue has been put on the back burner and no, nobody has contacted me either from this administration, congress, senate, nobody. >> dana: you, i understand, were a border patrol agent in 2016 returned to the family's cattle business. i admire you for doing that important work.

have you had any problems on your property of people who are being trafficked by coyotes coming into the country illegally and suffering and dying on your property? >> yes, ma'am, we have. there has been several instances in the past couple of years where u.s. border patrol has found people that have succumbed to the elements on our ranch. border patrol is in the process of going through the environmental assessments to install a new rescue beacon of our ranch because of instances like this. i feel and hurt for the people that feel it necessary to put themselves at risk to cross into the u.s. and then succumb to the elements like this. why don't we put that money into securing our border rather than putting, you know, elements in like rescue beacons several miles north that people shouldn't even be? let's stop it at the border not make efforts to make things easier for them further inland. >> dana: russell johnson, my

favorite kind of guest with all the common sense. wish you could be here more often and be in washington even. thanks for doing what you do and we'll stay in touch. hope it gets better. >> thank you, dana. >> bill: we're watching pennsylvania and western new york. folks are on alert as police search for an escaped inmate armed and dangerous. a look at michael burham. senators get a briefing on artificial intelligence today and how it could change the way we live and the way we fight war.
