state of oklahoma involve some kind of tie to china. >> bill: we'll see where it goes. casey stiegel live in dallas today. >> dana: bombshell f.b.i. informant file revealing allegations of an international bribery shakedown involving then vice president joe biden and his son, hunter. it details statements by a highly credible confidential informant claims the bidens coerced the owner of burisma to pay them $10 million. then in exchange for that, they allegedly helped get a ukrainian prosecutor, who was investigating the company, fired. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: still putting up with me? >> dana: mission impossible, yep. >> bill: good morning to you. morning at home. asme owe bill hemmer. chuck grassley released that form so you, the american people, can read it yourself without the filter of a politician or bureaucrat in the
7:01 am
way. the document describes conversations apparently between the informant and the ceo of burisma, an energy company in ukraine that was trying to take its business to america and then eventually lead to an ipo on the stock exchange here. that person tells the source he has many text messages and recordings that show he was coerced to make such payments to the bidens. that it would cost him $5 million to 1 biden and 5 million to another. that revelation sparking fresh calls for president biden's impeachment from republicans. >> dana: congressman byron donalds believes this document was hidden for years to protect the bidens. >> they were protecting them when he left the vice presidency. the last year as vice president. they were protecting hillary clinton, by the way, when she was in the middle of her shenanigans and the essence of a two-tier justice system in
7:02 am
america now. >> dana: anchor shannon bream. byron donalds also said when i asked him about the f.b.i. saying they're concerned about the safety of this confidential source, he didn't push back on that and said they might have reason to believe that he is still an active source as this swirls around, how do you sort it out? >> apparently the f.b.i. had given enough warnings to gop lawmakers saying we don't want it released for those very concerns. but all of this begs the question as congressman donalds was talking about there, what actually happened to this form? i asked former attorney general bill barr about that a few weeks ago when the whole thing was bubbling up. he told me it was sent to the pittsburgh office. they did a deep dive and found additional information and then it was sent to places where it would be relevant, including the delaware investigation. so what david weiss, the u.s. did or didn't do with it from there is an open question. this may have been forwarded to other offices that would have
7:03 am
opened investigations. david weiss is the only one to answer the questions about what happened to the 1023. did they table it? did they run it down and it wasn't legit? he is in discussions to have conversations with those gop-led committees in the house. this is certainly at the top of the list of what they want to discuss. >> bill: i think it can be very confusing to our viewers at home. you have to read deep and long to follow it. i think the simple way to break it down is you go back eight years, 2015. burisma is the energy company in ukraine. they had a prosecutor in that government that was about to or was in the process of investigating the company. what the company wanted was access to the american market. they can make a lot of money on wall street. so burisma hires hunter biden to its board and from 2018 joe biden, when he was out of the white house, relayed this story about some aspect of that experience in ukraine.
7:04 am
watch. >> president biden: i'm telling you, you aren't getting a billion dollars. i will be leaving here and i think it was six hours and i said i'm leaving in six hours. if the prosecutor is not fired, you aren't getting the money. well, son of a [bleep] he was fired and put in place someone who was solid at the time. >> bill: ultimately that investigation went nowhere. is that right? >> yeah. this confidential human source, the source of this again unverified document. the f.b.i. has listed it. we know a little bit there was some initial digging into these investigations. according to bill barr. those allegations are at the heart of this document. you've heard, as we know now president then he was between stints in the white house, is talking about what happened with that prosecutor. this confidential human source talks about that investigation in these allegations he makes in this 2020 document and again talks about hunter being on the board and why he is there.
7:05 am
his dad, quote, will help protect us and help us manage some of these situations. again, there are only very few people who could verify what was in the document and will we hear from them? >> dana: the judge in trump's case has set may 20, 2024 as the trial date. back and forth i can see experts saying that could get pushed even further if there were delays and now we're right into the presidential election season. >> yeah. keep in mind as you guys know the president already has a couple of state-based trials that would be before that in early 2024. that extension of the carol case, the alvin bragg case in manhattan. the federal case set for may. potentially another federal indictment coming and something coming from the georgia grand jury in august. there are a lot of very serious legal issues for the former president and his legal team. that would be a tough thing for any defendant to manage but
7:06 am
throw that together all of those multiple trials with running a presidential election and we truly have never seen anything like this before. i agree with those who question whether that may 20, 2024 date will happen for the mar-a-lago documents case. a lot of discovery and a lot of pre-trial wrangling. it may not happen before the election. >> bill: prosecutors want to start in december. that ain't going to happen. promos for you. you'll talk to joseph ziegler tonight on special report and tell his story to you and also on "fox news sunday" vivek ramaswamy one of your many guests. we'll check it out then. >> brand-new polls we'll reveal from iowa and south carolina sunday morning. >> dana: i'll be there. thanks. >> the real competitors are the thousands of news organizations that have sprouted up like mushrooms on the internet
7:07 am
eroding public trust. we need to choke them off. the way we do that is deplatform any of these organizations that doesn't follow our story. >> that was with martha yesterday afternoon after rfk junior was calling out media organizations claiming censorship after that hearing that took place a few hours earlier that was wow, a bit of a show, huh? all while taking on house democrats who tried to remove him from that hearing. hillary vaughn is live with the fallout from today. >> good morning. democrats admit they didn't want to hear what rfk junior had to say and they didn't want him talking here on capitol hill. but they tell me that's not censorship. >> that's not censorship. that would not be allowing someone to speak. he can speak. it doesn't give him necessarily the ability to have to do it in the halls. >> censor him. we were trying to make sure he didn't cause more harm with his outrageous testimony. >> he can say whatever he wants and wherever he wants but he
7:08 am
doesn't get a right to testify before a committee of congress. >> i won't respond to a loaded question like that. you have already decided on your own answer. >> this hearing was focusing on the weaponization of the government to censor people for so-called covid misinformation in many cases. questioning or challenging what narrative the government wanted to promote. not just government censorship that kennedy is calling out. his official children's health defense is suing news organizations and tech giants for working together to squash what they saw as fake news at the time. kennedy claims that led to a media blackout of stories about covid that dared to disagree or question covid vaccines and policies. the group being sued, the trusted youth initiative includes mainstream media groups, a.p. reuters, "washington post" and google, youtube, meta , and twitter. >> the turn mal information was
7:09 am
coined to describe information that facebook and twitter and the other social media sites understood was true but that the white house and other federal agencies wanted censored anyway for political reasons because it challenged official orthodoxies. >> we reached out to the trusted news initiative to get their comment on the impending lawsuit but haven't heard back. >> bill: wow. there will be more. thank you, nice to see you on capitol hill today. >> dana: disturbing report that chinese hackers broke into the email accounts of the u.s. ambassador to china nicholas burns as well as assistant secretary of state of east asia who traveled to china with secretary of state antony blinken. the hackers were conducting a targeted operation gatherings u.s. intelligence and able to access hundreds of government emails. we learned chinese hackers stole emails from commerce secretary. they are up to no good. >> bill: ten minutes past.
7:10 am
panic perhaps over your passport. airports are packed and travel is in full swing. the state department struggling to keep up with demand. can you get one, right? chad pergram has that from the hill. >> good morning. it's a tried and true maneuver. if you have problems with your passport, call your representative or senator. that doesn't work anymore. the passport office is facing a crush of requests, lawmakers can't assist. >> we are not able to diagnose what exactly is the cause but i can tell you as a former executive, it's the failure to be competent by the administration. a failure to focus on simply delivering even the most simple, basic and fundamental constituent services to americans. >> he says he hears from
7:11 am
constituents with passport problems every day. demand is high as travel resumes after the pandemic. there is also a wave of people trying to renew expired passports. government hiring freezes don't help. democrat jim himes of connecticut has a passport office in his district. >> i think it's a really good illustration of what happens when the federal government doesn't have a lot of resources. let's cut spending. this is what happens. >> if your passport expired and you have a trip in september it may already be too late. marni larson struggled to get her son a passport before a family vacation to europe. >> i wouldn't book any travel that is optional unless you knew you actually had a passport in hand. >> larson lives in utah but she had to fly to los angeles just to get the passport on time. secretary of state antony blinken said the demand for passports is as great as it's
7:12 am
ever been. >> bill: got to be a way, right? call your congressman yet again. chad pergram on the hill. thank you very much. there is this. >> i've seen our choices shrink and the rates go up. in the last seven years since i owned my current home, it has nearly tripled. >> dana: homeowners are finding is harder and more expensive to get insurance for their homes. the states where rates are going up the most. >> bill: new effort to cloves a loophole that allows government agencies to buy your private information from commercial data brokers. congressman ken buck will explain why a new law is necessary to protect your fourth amount right coming up here. >> dana: fox news getting a look at burial dumping grounds in the gilgo beach serial killings. how the suspect could have used his hobby as a decoy to hide what he was allegedly doing. >> when we told the wife, she was shocked and embarrassed.

>> dana: police in north carolina say they have new photos of a 12-year-old girl who went missing last november. they have not released the photos but say the pictures show a man and girl that fits the description of mad lena. she was last seen at school on november 21st. her mother and stepfather did not report her missing until the middle of december. they are both charged with failing to report a missing child. >> bill: 18 past the hour now from las vegas, another intriguing story here. police are collecting evidence from the home of the self-proclaimed king pin linked
7:19 am
to tup act's murder. this week police raided the vegas home of dwayne davis who said for years he was in the car at the time of tupac's murder. that case being presented to a grand jury. we'll follow that for you. >> dana: more homeowners across the country are struggling to find affordable home insurance. top companies are pulling out or capping coverage all together. taking place in places like florida, california, leading to fears of an emerging crisis in the industry. william la jeunesse is live in malibu with the story. there is growing alarm about this across the country. >> there is because if you own a home, you have a mortgage. that means you have insurance. the rising rates associated with bad weather is hurting everybody. some areas are uninsurable. here a fire came through in 2018 wiped out a third of the homes
7:20 am
in the neighborhood. everybody had policies canceled and now must get their insurance through a state pool. >> i've seen our choices shrink and the rates go up. >> from california to florida. >> the water was coming through the windows and doors and the walls even. >> insurance rates nationwide jumped 9% this year. floods and wildfire, hailstorms and hurricanes. >> i had just moved here from florida last year so i was this doesn't happen in new york. >> accelerating extreme weather. >> the uncertainty associated with climate change and the effects on losses is quite difficult to model. >> that uncertain teev is pushing premiums higher as the industry factors in more catastrophic losses. >> we're in the middle of an insurance company insurrection in california. >> in may state farm, allstate and farmers capped or stop selling homeowners coverage in
7:21 am
california. >> it is affecting every single county and every single transaction up and down the state of california. >> in florida three national insurers left the property market and several others stopped writing new policies. state regulators kept rates artificially low. >> we have all this insurance that is kept at many folks for living in harm's way at artificially low premiums. >> so another reason that rates are so high is reinsurance. that protects insurance from high claims and major disasters. those companies are raising their rates a lot and the regulators won't allow the all states of the world to pass those on to consumers. some companies are simply saying we're out. >> dana: they can't do business. it's a mess. let's hope it gets solved for lots of people. william la jeunesse, thank you. >> bill: now to the latest on the investigation of an alleged serial killer in new york.
7:22 am
rex heuermann expanding to three other states. fox digital and our next guest getting a look at the area where police discovered the bodies of four women back in 2010. a short boat ride away from the suspect's home. paul mauro, retired nypd inspector with us now. a lot of theories going on right now. we don't know a lot until you get into a courtroom. if we get there. what did you see on your visit, paul? >> it was really interesting. i should mention it's up on the website and you will see some of the footage. the area we looked at is just south of where the suspect lives. 10, 15 minutes across the bay, very calm bay. you actually get to a small beach. from that small beach you can walk directly to where the bodies were found. why does that matter? because on the other side of that wooded area is a long highway, a long, lonely highway that goes straight. you can see headlights coming for miles. the theory has been that he
7:23 am
drove there with his car, parked the car and dills posed of the bodies in the woods. it is not that large. the problem with that at the time there wasn't a shoulder. there is a bike path there now. it wasn't there in 2009. what you surprise he marks the car, leaves it almost entirely on the road in the middle of the night in the hopes that nobody comes along. state troopers go up and down that area all the time. a little risky. maybe he did it differently every time. we know the following. he had a duck hunting boat, a duck hunting license and guns. three of the bodies were wrapped in burlap. that was duck hunting camouflage. you can drive a duck hunting boat, a particular type of boat.
7:24 am
fits in small areas, drive it to the beach. 20 to 30 yard walk and the dumping ground. we took footage. scouted the area. it's a theory. i know the task force must have looked at it. there is footage from 2010 of suffolk county scuba looking around in the water there as well. >> dana: with the expansion of this case into these other states, what do police do? do they say here are missing women? we've never been able to follow the cases and start going through? >> precisely. they now have a name. in the past they didn't. they have the new data points. you have heuermann's phone number, his habits, you have when he may have checked into the time share that he had in vegas. so now you can go backwards and you have a lot more guide posts to guide what you are doing. aside from the fact you say this woman went missing at this particular time, for example. you could say okay, was
7:25 am
heuermann in vegas at the time. see if his credit card was used. he was here in july 2009, somebody went missing then and take a hard look at it. they have dna. if there was any dna unidentified on a body missing in another area you have something to match to. where they are looking, vegas, atlantic city, maybe he was a gambler. did he go to other gambling locations? south carolina where he reportedly has some land with his brother. you now have stuff to match to. this gives you much more concrete stuff to go on. >> dana: do you think they'll find anything in those states? >> i don't know. these things come down to a perpetrator's comfort zone. serial killers operate where they are comfortable. the area in gilgo, very demonstrable. one of the things that helped him get to him. he is doing this stuff dropping these bodies in gilgo. he must be familiar with that
7:26 am
area. probably from around there. i would be looking at how much time he spent in these areas. i find it hard to believe that he would go maybe once every couple years and committal kinds of crimes. he is not going to do that. >> dana: very wenting. paul. thank you. check it out on foxnews.com as well. bidenomics comes to phillies. voters aren't buying it. steve forbes joins us live with his take. plus remembering a ledgeed. memorials pouring in as a world mourns the death of legendary singer tony bennett. ♪ somewhere overthe rainbow bluebirds fly ♪ birds fly over the rainbow, why, then, oh why can't i ♪ that absorb and lock dirt away, for a mop and bucket clean in half the time. mop smarter with the new swiffer powermop.

at age 96. when a life, legend and voice he leaves behind. cb cotton has a look back at his legendary career. >> so beloved and such an icon. tony bennett called himself a tenor who sings like a baritone. in 1952 his first album, because of you. went on to release more than 70 albums during his career. 1965 his friend frank sinatra called bennett the best singer in the business saying, quote, he is the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind and probably a little more. now at the age of 88 bennett broke his own record becoming the oldest living performer with a number one album on the billboard 200 chart for cheek-to-cheek, a duet project with lady gaga. his last concert appearance was in august of 2021 when he and gag
7:33 am
>> it was a celebration of his 95th birthday. his team confirmed the icon died here in new york city just two weeks shy of his 97th birthday. bennett won 19 grammys over the course of his career for what he said was his passion. >> i think it's a lot of luck but i happen to like what i do very much and i'm interested in it and i'm still interested in it. i have a passion to sing and paint and that's all i do. >> mayor adams tweeted bennett left his heart in new york city. no word yet on the cause of death but he continued to perform long after he was diagnosed with alzheimer's back in 2016. he is survived by his wife, four children and nine grandchildren, bill. >> bill: imagine radio stations across the country this weekend, spotify, apple music will be filled with the sound of tony bennett in the days to come.
7:34 am
thank you, cb. nice to see you. >> president biden: everyone from financial times, "wall street journal" has become my different philosophy. i don't think they started out trying to be complimentary calling it bidenomics. our plan is working, bidenomics. >> dana: he touted his economic policy in philly this week. new polls show voters aren't sold on bidenomics. let's bring in forbes media chairman steve forbes. a wonderful business woman, head of the small business administration on the trump administration said this yesterday. >> i think bidenomics, if you want to call it that, has certainly been detrimental. we have to give flexibility to workers. they have to be able to work in a gig economy and independent contractors if they want to be, they can be employees if they want to be. how are they going to make their best living?
7:35 am
>> dana: how do you think this bidenomics push is going? >> i think it's very telling. a year ago joe biden was calling himself the deficit cutter, the deficit slasher. this year it's 2 1/2 times the deficit it was a year ago. so much on performance. they say bringing down inflation, twice what it was when he came into office. those prices are not coming down. just the rate of increase is coming down. people, credit card debt, where is that? record high. business investment not what it should be. head winds overseas, you look at all that. i'm amazed he would go out there and boast the economy is doing well. what kind of world do he think he is living in? >> he likes trickle down economics and he was talking about his dad yesterday. then he said this in the sound bite we played there to what everyone from financial times, "wall street journal" has become my change, my different philosophy day i don't think they started off trying to be complimentary because -- it went on and on and it was -- i think
7:36 am
some people considered it incoherent. i ask you as a commander-in-chief trying to carry an economic message, you need to give me four more years because it is working, how effective will he be? >> he won't be the democratic nominee for president in 2024 for a variety of reasons. you can't trust the institutions. which is why robert kennedy junior is getting real traction? who would have thought that a year ago? you have hunter, that's not going away. biden's performance himself, what you saw there yesterday. this is -- we'll have four more years of this? we'll be lucky to get one more year with that kind of performance. take him off the stage. put him back in the basement. >> bill: a month ago on our show you said biden will not be the nominee and see if you're right or wrong. >> dana: the big issue with biden is inflation, let's put up the bar chart. year-over-year people feel
7:37 am
inflation, remember inflation, know what it has done to their family budgets. if you could call for number three, please. and that to me is what he is up against because people won't forget that. even though that number came down to 3%, this past number, it is like the wages haven't kept up. people are feeling like why would we want to continue with this kind of policy? >> that's a very good question. again, even though the rate of increase is going down, for most people the cost of living is higher than it was three months ago, 12 months ago. you have the mortgage rates going up. on the business side you have a lot of companies, a lot of debts being renegotiated having to be renewed from ultra low rates to the rates we're having now. a lot of businesses are going to -- >> dana: housing sector seems to be in trouble. >> it's very mixed. you have a clog there. people who have the low rates, 2 1/2% 30 year fixed mortgage will sell their house, they may want to but gosh you go from
7:38 am
2 1/2 to 6 1/2 or 7. things are not going in the right direction. >> bill: approve or disapprove jobs, unemployment, 48% disapprove in unemployment. transportation and energy infrastructure 51% disapprove. inflation still at 62%. that's what he is up against as we stand today. you are on record, sir. we'll see whether in time you are right. >> nice to see you. have a good weekend, thank you. >> bill: 22 before the hour. >> please ask the witness to stop talking. kre claiming. >> you asked me a question. let me answer my question. >> i would like ten seconds. >> you are slandering me incorrectly. >> bill: i don't know how far along we got watching that together yesterday but democrats accusing robert f. kennedy, jr. of saying things that weren't right. they tried to censor a censorship hearing. both sides reacting to the

>> bill: that's president candidate robert f. kennedy, jr. pushing back against democrats who tried to remove him from that hearing yesterday on government censorship. that got quite a reaction. republican ken buck, republican out of california with us in new york. good morning to you. you were not in that room. you followed it with dana and me and everybody else. here is some of the reaction from democrats as to what was going down there, check it out. >> did you videotape this hearing, it could be a "saturday night live" speech except it's not funny. >> i don't think he is being censored. he can say whatever he wants. he doesn't get a right to testify before a committee of congress >> i can't really see how jim jordan has actually advanced what this committee says it was going to do. look at the federal weaponization of government. >> bill: that last point it was
7:45 am
hard to get a word in edge wise. what do you make of this? >> there is a little irony they are having a hearing on censorship and trying to censor a witness. they are censoring him because he is a threat to joe biden. polling somewhere in the 15 to 20% range and it scares democrats that someone will challenge joe biden. had nothing to do with his testimony. there were plenty of democrats willing to be anti-semitic on the nightly news. it wasn't any statement he made. it was all about the threat he makes to the party. >> dana: ron desantis was on jesse watters prime time. >> an attempt for big government to collude with big tech to censor dissent. a company cannot do that at the behest of government even if it's private. that's a violation of the first amendment. we deaf niftily have to get that in order. i think people's rights to converse about important subjects has been drastically reduced in america because of
7:46 am
