7:00 am
better. their son's trial is expected to get underway in two weeks. the wild anecdotes that we can expect. >> bill: we'll see where it goes on ward. live in los angeles. >> dana: an interesting plot twist there. arabella, the dark money and you will see it a lot in the next -- >> bill: you thought this case was hot in the beginning. then it went away. then it got hot again, all right? they're still working to resolve it. >> dana: california has big problems. >> we've been threatened and yelled at. people trespass on our property during the day and at night while we're sleeping. people do drugs in our front yard. >> dana: growing sense of danger and fear hanging over california as the state's homeless crisis goes from bad to worse. sacramento once a beautiful city known for its stunning sensory is in cham bells. this is what it looks like now with tent cities filling parks,
7:01 am
lining sidewalks and springing up under highways. homeowners are being threatened with guns at their front door and warned their communities are on the verge of collapse. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: at least they are taking action trying something. california is the nation's epicenter of homelessness. a recent study finds 50% of the nation's homeless many with mental health or drug problems are living on the streets in california. it is not just sacramento where liberal policies are fueling the growing crisis. you can oakland, los angeles, san francisco, struggling despite the state throwing billions of dollars at the problem. the homeless population up 71% in four years in sacramento. san francisco 8,000 people live on the street. 52% struggling with drugs or alcohol up from 10% in 2019.
7:02 am
>> dana: the president of the san francisco police officers association is going to join us in a moment. first the sacramento county district attorney is suing the city of sacramento over its failure to clean up homeless encampments. a lawsuit might have been the last thing you wanted to do. do you feel like it is the one thing that might be able to force a change? >> absolutely. what we're looking at is people talking about insanity, right? insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. over the last seven years homelessness has increased in sacramento by 20 2 50%. more homeless people in sacramento than san francisco. local officials aren't enforcing the laws and we will change that. >> bill: you've been trying to make a change and really nothing has worked. as we look at the numbers for sacramento now in 2019 around 5500. a lot of people four years ago. now you are well over 9,000.
7:03 am
so you have got their attention. but you still -- can you force their hand, sir? >> absolutely. i was born in vietnam, came to this country as a refugee. in this country what separates from so many places in the world you can go in a courtroom and hold institutions and individuals no matter how rich and powerful accountable in a court of law. we'll get a judge and jury and we'll require the city to do what it is supposed to do, enforce the law, keep our streets clean and safe. that's what we areing to do. >> dana: one of the reasons to do that you hear from constituents like this. pull up call for number three. emily was at the press conference yesterday talking about what her life is like. >> on another occasion a man started a fire in front of our home and when my husband went out to ask him to put out the fire he threatened my husband's life saying you are a dead man walking. we called the police and it took them four hours to show up. they allowed the man to stay even though he was an parole and he remained in the camp continuing his intimidating
7:04 am
behavior. >> dana: i want to play this for you. governor newsom basically is saying his hands are tied. >> we can't even legally now move folks on and clean up these encampments because we've been en enjoined by some federal courts. we're going to the supreme court. a hell of a statement for a democratic governor from california saying we need help from the united states supreme court. this court in particular to create relief so that we can do the job. >> dana: so from your perspective as a lawyer, what do you think of that argument? do you need relief from the federal courts to get california to do the right thing? >> two things. first of all, just yesterday afternoon my office did file an amicus brief before the united states supreme court just like the governor asking the u.s. supreme court to overturn the case of martin versus boise. that case has ham strung many
7:05 am
people on the west coast and ninth circuit. this is a local creels is made worse by local decisions. the governor has given plenty of resources to local authorities and those resources have been squandered. where did the money go locally and what programs are working or not working? i'm calling for an audit here in sacramento. >> bill: i'm asking for the city to do its job. we mentioned all the cities across california. you aren't alone, right? san diego, l.a., san francisco, on it goes. but you have homeless coming in from arizona and nevada. why do you think the democratic leaders in california are so accepting of this lifestyle? >> you know what i really think about is our local officials. when you don't enforce the law at a local level, then this is what you get. a lack of accountability and lawlessness on the local level. here is a stat advertise i can. i received an email from the city they admitted that in the last year they had not in
7:06 am
sacramento enforced a single citation. as a top prosecutor i'm calling them out and make sure they enforce the law. >> dana: thank you for coming on. please stay in touch. you are doing something that i think maybe there are a lot of other cities thinking about and watching to see if you are successful. we appreciate you. >> bill: trying anyway. thank you. west of where he is san francisco is under siege from drugs and crime and homelessness. that city reports 84 overdose deaths just last month. ties a record high 66 of those involve fentanyl. the city is suffering a police recruitment crisis. the shortage so bad officials are crossing state lines to enlist cops from the state of texas. tracy mccray with the san francisco police officers association spoken to us many times. a month or two, tracy, thank you for coming back. a quick thought what you hear about sacramento. could something like that happen
7:07 am
in san francisco to change what's happening in your city? >> well, i just want to applaud that sacramento d.a. for what he is doing. city attorney, same thing suing because of that decision out of idaho. just, you know, it's just rampant on the streets, you see it. you are frustrated, people are just at their wit's end. >> dana: i wonder about these overdose deaths if i could put up on the screen and you can see the rise, right? 640, 647 year-to-date here now in 2023, 563 in san francisco. this is a very troubling trend and with every one of those deaths there is a lot of grief. we just earlier this morning, tracy, were talking about a huge fentanyl bust. 400 milligrams in one bust.
7:08 am
two milligrams is enough to kill a person. we're feeling we're drowning in fentanyl. as a police officer, how do you address this in your community who you look at somebody the next day might be gone? >> i mean, i think we're actually at another two deaths, 86 deaths last month. probably on a record pace to break what happened in the pandemic the number of deaths. i mean, we have cops going out making arrests, getting the drugs off the street and we go back out the next day and the same thing. this is just flooding our community and, you know, people are actually literally whether it's on the street, whether in a single room occupancy hotel, they are dying from this drug and nobody seems to be able to get a handle on it. i'm thankful the chp has come in and helped a lot. but you see the stuff scrolling across your screen, how are we going to stop this? how will we hold people
7:09 am
accountable and people just coming in and just using just out in the street and nothing seems to be happening? they aren't accepting treatment. we arrest them, nobody wants to go to treatment. this has got the grips of california in its hold and it is not letting go. >> bill: we are talking about human beings here, aren't we every day? >> we are. that's -- relative, brother, sister, wife. someone out there they know and they are dying and there is nothing we can do about it. >> bill: we'll stay in touch, okay? we've been in contact for several years. thank you for being part of our program. there was this from the san francisco chronicle call for two if you can pull this up. these are human beings now in the streets, all right? at first he lay twitching, then flat, chest still. young man overdosing on drugs in the middle of a mission street sidewalk in full afternoon daylight tuesday. it took a minute for the crowd milling to notice, end quote. at one point they yelled narcan,
7:10 am
bring the narcan. depending on the day. >> dana: country has a lot of problems and that is certainly one of them. there is also this. >> here in texas we feel we are at war with our own government and they are doing nothing to help us. we have spent $12 billion of texas taxpayers money on securing the border and quite frankly i've been to d.c. twice asking for that money back. >> dana: as a record setting surge of migrants cross to eagle pass, texas, the biden administration is offering work permits to venezuelans. they keep the stress on the border state. hillary vaughn is live from capitol hill with the latest. you have been very busy covering all these problems. this is a big one announced yesterday. >> dana, it is. democrats we've talked to insist that these new work perks won't encourage more people to come across illegally across our southern border but it is not
7:11 am
just work permits that are waiting for illegal immigrants. fox news digital has obtained a picture of the i.d. card ice plans to give illegal immigrants allowed to temporarily stay in the u.s. the i.d. card has a qr code, picture and other personal information. despite democrats' claims the border is closed and secure, yesterday fox news ground team at the border captured stunning video of one of the largest caravan of migrants crossing illegally into the u.s. in eagle pass, texas. some democrats say it is not an open border advertisement playing out on tv. >> do you see how someone might see the video and go i can come to the u.s. and i get to -- >> what you see is different than what happens in actuality. so if someone is picked up at the border, obviously that begs the question that they are not streaming across the border and escaping into our country. >> instead some democrats blaming republicans for why
7:12 am
people are coming in the first place. >> is this really sustainable to have almost all-time high numbers of migrants coming across the border illegally? >> what we need is for republicans to stop talking about open borders, that facilitate smugglers. >> so democrats accusing republicans now of basically doing free advertising for the cartel every time they talk about an open border, dana. >> dana: hillary vaughn, thank you for that. we appreciate your work. >> why have we waited six days to reach out to the public? it's simple. we have used this time as a tactical advantage for us. >> bill: it took two years to arrest the suspect on a murder warrant. only two days for him to regain freedom. why he was mistakenly released from jail and where he is today. that's a good question. >> dana: convicted killer alex murdaugh returning to court facing two dozen charges of
7:13 am
financial crimes. >> bill: a new fox business poll showing a candidate moving up in iowa in a big way, too. who it is and what our panel of hawkeye state voters have to say about the race and the big caucus. >> this is why i love iowa. >> the people of iowa will give us new leadership. >> the proud home of the first in the nation caucuses.
7:18 am
the shoulders of the senior senator from alabama. >> i call for individual votes on these nominees for almost six months. senator schumer could have confirmed these nominees a long, long time ago. >> bill: some of the bigger names have been confirmed. tommy tuberville getting the better of that exchange.
7:19 am
chuck schumer eventually caving on votes to confirm three top military nominations. they include general charles brown to become the next chairman of the joints chiefs of staff. tuberville says his hold on hundreds of other military nominations will remain in place until the pentagon's abortion policy about crossing state lines has been changed. >> dana: a new fox business poll on the state of the race in iowa. former president trump and governor ron desantis are holding steady. nikki haley more than doubles her support. let's bring in our panel of iowa voters. penny is a business owner, jeremy works in finance and jason is a college student and i did not say your last name correctly. you can correct me and tell us what you are looking for. you i understand lean for tim scott. is your mind still open? >> yeah. so you were close enough.
7:20 am
people have been worse about it. that's all good. yeah, nikki haley and tim scott are my two frontrunners. they bring the most stability to our nation. we have a former president running and i think kind of destroys the soft power nationally and instability internationally. these are people who can bring unity and company cohesion back to the united states. >> dana: what do you think about the age issue? >> people who are able to do it can do it. there is no constitutional limit to how old they have to be. but i think at some point some people have to realize they aren't able to do the job as well as they used to be able to do it. that's also why i go for tim scott and nikki haley. they are younger and proven
7:21 am
leaders in our nation. >> dana: your top issue is draining the swamp. that could be a lot of different things. tell us more about who you are looking at now and still open to changing your mind. >> i'm a desantis fan. i am still open to change my mind but solidly in that camp, i would say. trump said he would drain the swamp. he didn't. it got worse. and so i have been able to ask some of the candidates question and i thought desantis hit the question out of the park. he said you have to go down 4 to 5 layers in every department. you have to clean it out and you need someone from outside of the washington, d.c. zip code to come in here and turn the ship around. that was the best. >> dana: what do you think would be the most fundamental change you would like to see if the swamp were to be drained, what do you think americans gain from that? >> i think if you look at di if mayokas was doing his job the
7:22 am
border would be secure. if garland was doing his job we wouldn't have -- you have to have the right people in the right positions and i think desantis has shown if he can make america florida, we would all be better off and not dealing with any of these issues. >> dana: penny, you are a business owner. tell me about the issue on your mind the most and who you are thinking about supporting as we are less than four months before you all start to vote in iowa. >> less than four months, so i will say i'm open minded. but trump and desantis are still my top picks. nikki haley is coming right up there. i don't know if it could mix but i think nicki and trump would be a great pair and she certainly worked closely with him but maybe too closely that she is not aligned with his past success. i would say that desantis, i do
7:23 am
like his -- what he has done in florida and as far as the age thing goes i credit these people to having life experience, being able to make good, quick, solid decisions. unborn child, border control, school reform are all the top three issues for me. >> dana: one of the things we're looking at we are less than a week away from the second republican primary debate. i said earlier this is where the rubber meets the road. your thoughts on the first debate nobody had a break-out moment, penny. what are you looking for in the next debate less than a week away? >> i would like it to filter down a little bit to not have as many candidates up there and have the top runners up there and really listen to hear what they have to say. i think there was a lot of show in the last one. and a lot of a few candidates up there that were just trying to run for maybe a cabinet seat down the road and not really the presidential seat.
7:24 am
>> dana: jeremy, in terms of the broad base of the candidates, on the republican side there is quite a variety there. it is interesting to see how this political realignment is going on with more of the working class perhaps giving the republicans a second look and white college educated voters tending to vote more with the democrats. you've seen in in your lifetime and interesting to live through it, isn't it? >> it is. i just -- you know, i go back to the new era of politics, i guess. we kind of have a gehry gear - would love to see a desantis highlyy ticket. my biggest thing is the independent voters. we've lost them the last three elections and can't do it again. that's the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over. >> dana: we keep hearing that on
7:25 am
this show in particular. jacob, last word to you. i think that there is a lot of hope and worry that is swirling around your generation. do you believe the american dream is possible for you? >> yeah, i do believe the still alive and well today. you have to work for it, of course. might be drowned out from the noise by social media or news coming out of washington. i believe if you put your nose to the grind stone and keep working for it, it is available for everybody. >> dana: great to have you all. penny, jeremy, jacob. i hope i meet you one day. thank you. to show everybody the new fox business poll from last night had new numbers from iowa. you see here among gop caucus goers in iowa, call for number one is what it was. so okay, we don't have it at the moment. you see that nikki haley has gone up, vivek ramaswamy. trump way up there as well. there are also these voters here
7:26 am
who say they would not vote for president trump, i understand if i have this correctly. so these people like a chris christie or a ron desantis, they are still thinking they have a shot. >> bill: i like jacob's last answer. gives me a little hope for the future. >> dana: i like to leave on a high note. >> bill: well done. 25 past. sorry, hey, what's the countdown? six days, right? >> dana: i think people get it. the second republican debate is a week -- less than a week away on wednesday night. >> bill: this will not be your final reminder. check it out. here is bret in saudi arabia. >> are you concerned iran gets a nuclear weapon about them getting a nuclear weapon? >> what we are concerned if any country getting a nuclear weapon. >> if they get one, will you? >> if they get one, we have to get one. >> bill: not mincing words about
7:27 am
nuclear weapons in his neighborhood. he is trying to normalize relations with israel. it could happen, folks. president biden may be key to making it work. what a reversal in that relationship that we have seen. plus this. >> in the case of 46-year-old mike, terry, you are the -- >> how do you like that on tv? breaking news, i think, dana. matthew mcconaughey and woody harrellson getting close to finding out if they were brothers. it might bring marti povich out of retirement. we'll tie that together coming up. ♪ hold on... that neighbor is hot! that's my husband... what? it's the inspire implant he got. he's not struggling with cpap anymore. all that rest is working wonders for him. and for me. gotta go.

7:33 am
mason, accidentally released after a clerical error. police kept his release quiet for six days and authorities are now reaching out to the public for help. >> we believe he is pretty good at what he does. we believe that someone -- he has others financing him and helping aid him. >> dana: anyone with information about mason's whereabouts is urged to call crimestoppers at 317-262-tips. >> difference between saudi arabia and america today is interesting. we have good relation with president biden. >> you talk with him behind is scenes. there is focus about his age. he is 80, 38. >> he is really well focused, well prepared. and so that's what i see. >> bill: the winds of change are shifting. president biden calling saudi arabia's leader a pariah during the election of 2020.
7:34 am
the crown prince mohammed bin salman letting that go bye-bye. he says the president looks like he is very much on the ball. fox news contributor karl rove is here and michael singh, director for middle eastern affairs at the security council. the winds of change are shifting here. karl, how do you analyze that when you can say one thing to a campaign and then you get in office and gas prices are a mess and dealing with inflation and reality hits. how do you see this, karl? >> well, you are right. reality hits. but let's step back for a minute and look at mbs's responses. i thought it was very smart on his part. he loses nothing by saying of course joe biden is at the top of his game and alert and we have a great relationship. but let's be careful about all that. what is said publicly may not be what they think privately.
7:35 am
the subtlety is important. relationship with israel he said of course we can move forward on that but have to solve the palestinian problem. how many decades have we in the middle east the israelis, united states and arab countries like saudi arabia trying to solve the palestinian problem? it's a pretty intractable problem not easily dealt with. i thought it was a very adroit presentation by him. let's not read too much into it. he is 38 years old. he is smart and playing the long game. >> bill: michael what is your observation. you said he is enormously popular among young people in saudi arabia. expand on that. >> he is. he have has got this massive project underway to try to transform saudi arabia economically and socially especially. i think it's his highest priority and it is something
7:36 am
that's all encompassing and requires all of his effort. it is also very expensive. everything he is talking about, iran, normallyization with israel or oil prices is connected to that. look, this kind of project is very expensive so the saudis need oil at a certain price. as an oil consuming country that causes some tension with the united states. but at the end of the day, i think the key point here is that we want that transformation to succeed. saudi arabia has frankly been a problem for the united states even though it has also been a partner for a very long time because of the extremism and other things that we've seen coming out of there. if he is able to transform the country in this way, it could be enormously positive. >> bill: got it. here is another one. this is on nuclear technology. first iran and whether or not saudi arabia would follow suit.
7:37 am
>> that means they are having a war with the rest of the world. the world cannot see -- >> if they get one, will you? >> if they get one, we have to get one for security reason and for balance of power. >> bill: that's what you don't want, an arms race in the middle east. karl, you referred to it. this is on israel. in our lifetimes now we could see a massive peace deal happen and maybe not so long from now. roll this. >> what would it take for you to agree to normalize relations with israel? >> when there is a part from the biden administration to get to that point. for us the palestinian issue is very important. we need to solve that part. every day we get closer. it seems for the first time serious. >> bill: karl, you could move these pieces in an interesting way, whether iran, saudi arabia,
7:38 am
a possible peace deal as you referred to with israel. this could be a massive change in that part of the world. >> well, it could be but let's realize the change in this part of the world is incremental and slow. one of the good pieces of information that we have to deal with is that we have a young leader who wants to bring about change and has the time to bring about those changes. but it will take a long time. as you can see, the path is fraught with difficulties. we can normalize with israel but solve the palestinian problem. we want a security agreement with the united states where we come to each other's defense but if iran gets a nuclear weapon, we want to get a nuclear weapon. they may have enough money to buy one from pakistan, which has an arsenal of nuclear weapons or they may be willing to put the money into developing their own domestically created nuclear weapon, which would take some
7:39 am
time but nonetheless could be done. let's not kid ourselves. this is constructive but it will be a slow process. >> bill: these are big topics. >> it's not just a game changer for the middle east both economically, you talk hundreds of billions of dollars potentially added to the region's gdp. two big powerful countries, israel and saudi arabia cooperating but a strategic game changer for the analities. if you want to focus on china. what everybody in washington wants to do we have interests in the middle east and you want these partners cooperating so that maybe they can do more and we can step back and help them at a high level but maybe intervene less ourselves. that's really what we're talking about. >> bill: big stuff. thank you, gentlemen, for your thoughts today. michael singh and karl rove. thank you. marti povich offers to dna woody

7:46 am
>> bill: convicted murderer alex murdaugh appearing in court again changing his plea on federal financial charges to guilty. nate foye is outside the courthouse. charleston, south carolina. good morning. >> good morning, bill. murdaugh's lawyers are in federal court trying to convince the judge to accept a plea deal where murdaugh admits to stealing millions of dollars from his former clients. moments ago in court he said he wants to take responsibility, he wants his only surviving son, buster, to see him take responsibility, and he wants the healing process to begin for his
7:47 am
victims. but notably as part of this plea agreement, he will have to take a lie detector test which could reveal a lot of information not only about the murders of his wife and son. take a look at this video as murdaugh arrived at federal court at 9:00 a.m. if federal agents catch him lying about anything during the polygraph test the deal is null and void. they will ask him about a lot more than the murders. >> he will be asked about murder. he have will be asked about drug purchases, drug funding, the 2.2 million of cashiers checks he gave to cousin eddie. any other attorneys that assisted you in facilitating the theft of client funds. >> bill, in this deal he is pleading guilty to 22 federal financial crimes including bank fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. he will pay restitution to his victims and forefeat $9 million
7:48 am
in assets. what's in the deal for murdaugh is the possibility of serving time in federal prison where he would be a lot more comfortable than he would be in state prison. back out here live, bill, this would only come into play if he is successful in overturning his murder conviction in the state case. his appeal is just in the beginning of that process. >> bill: so twisted. night to see you in charleston. we'll see what comes of it. >> dana: billionaire democratic mega donor george soros is funding a network of left wing activitys on tiktok. biden tapped these influencers to boost his election. donated $3 hundred to the activist group than gen z for change. carley shimkus and tom shillue join us now. in some ways, carley, it is not working because the youth vote is saying yes, we might not like the republicans but they are really unhappy with joe biden.
7:49 am
>> that's why they are doing it. it is a smart strategy because people can make fun of this. an easy headline to pick at. republicans need to come up with a counter strategy and take it seriously. there are pockets of young people who are really politically dialed in. then there are young people who will base their whole political identity of tiktok videos and translate into votes for joe biden. they may not like republicans or may not be happy with president biden, this could change their mind. >> bill: tommy? >> strategy, mock them. gutfeld has a thing mock it and move on. i love that. if you mock it, and move on, you aren't taking it seriously. george soros is an evil man who is trying to destroy the united states but if you treat him like that, then you huff and puff and do exactly what he wants. basically you want to take the libidos of tiktok approach and
7:50 am
mock them and show them for the idiots they are. the accounts are quite silly. i don't think they should have a strategy. people on the right for get strategy. if you find somebody on the right making waves throw $3 hundred grand at them. that's what they do here. >> dana: the cause is supported by gen z for change. defund the police, end cash bail. ban voter i.d. laws and abolish ice. call for two gen z for change on tiktok. >> have you listened to teenage dream? it's my favorite song. it had me thinking my teenage dream is to vote. today is national voter registration vote. go register, do it. >> this is why it is an effective strategy. youth voter turnout was huge for president biden in 2020. they are not happy with him now. i think that the white house and biden administration is hyper aware of that. they have kamala harris going to college campuses. i also think it's a smart
7:51 am
