mortgage, luxury vehicle, these are physical matters here that you can really point to and say here is the evidence. and in your experience, how do you defend yourself against a claim like that? >> well, bill, you put your finger on the shocking aspect of this. this town floats on a sea of corruption but tends to be more finesse than he see here. usually these are not direct payments, good or benefits. i call it a classic bribery allegation. it is rare that you see this type of series of gifts going to a major politician. what is reallycularly breathtaking is that menendez just barely dodged this bullet six years ago. you would think that he and his family would avoid even the

suggestion of any influence peddling or bribery in connection with his office. according to the southern district of new york, after they dodged that bullet, they were open for business. this is an extensive series of benefits accrued, according to the prosecutors, in exchange for public favors. >> bill: that would appear to be the case. we'll see what they say when the press conference gets under way in lower man hatten. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: enjoy washington, d.c. while you are there. thanks for the time. talk soon, thank you. >> dana: migrant encounters along the southern border shattering last year's record as the border crisis shows no sign of slowing down. thousands of migrants seeking asylum crossing the border and spreading across the country heading for cities and towns of all sizes and putting a strain on local resources across the country. welcome to a new hour of

"america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: happy friday to you. i'm bill hemmer, good morning. 3.8 million migrants crossing the border since president biden took office. 180,000 last month alone were given notices to appear before an immigration court possibly years down the road and sent on their way. houston, dallas, los angeles, miami, new york, chicago among the top destinations. chicago alderman raymond lopez last hour telling us about the overwhelming burden that has hit his city. >> we are struggling to find ways to house the thousands of asylum seekers that arrive every week. free daycare seven days a week or transportation seven days a week. things we don't offer our own chicago residents but provide for these individuals in the country now. >> dana: the roosevelt hotel is the center of new york's migrant

crisis. we're there. >> it has been busy here for months at the roosevelt hotel but not just a new york city or chicago problem as you heard from the alderman. a nationwide issue. governors writing a letter to the president saying where are they going about what cities they're heading to? this is some of that video we've seen across the country in the cities. you look at those areas where the migrants are showing up the most as of now. new york city, chicago, l.a., dallas are the top according to track, a nonprofit data research centers. cities of states are sounding the alarm for months calling for help. gop governors sent a letter this week calling on president biden to explain where the migrants are going in the u.s. saying, quote, your administration admitted to congress that cartels prioritize the southern border as a major corridor in exploit it daily for human and drug trafficking.

our country can't tolerate pouring the fatal drug into our communities. this comes as the d.a. gave a detailed report to congress explaining the cartels pose the greatest criminal drug threat that the u.s. has ever faced here. the surge continues day after day. state and local leaders across the country doing their best to keep up. in chicago one local pastor says his church is spending thousands to feed, clothe and house the migrants. happy to help but hopes leaders have a plan sometime soon. >> buying pillows, sheets, blankets. i bought $8 hundred worth of blankets last week. so these things are all coming out of donations. the city is not paying for those. >> back here in new york, dana and bill the local and state leaders are looking closely at the right to shelter mandate in the city. governor said we cannot house

the world. >> dana: she said it was never meant to be for those purposes. alexis, stay there and we'll be back to you throughout the day. >> bill: president biden blaming a lot of this on republicans. maga republicans as he and the governor of new york have said this week. for the endless stream of migrants flooding into the southern border the white house saying it's doing everything it can without the support of republicans. go figure. jacque heinrich on the north lawn with more and their position. jacque, hello. >> good morning, bill. white house officials insist that they did their part more than two years ago when president biden submitted his comprehensive immigration reform plan on his first day in office. but the numbers are so bad that karine jean-pierre got a little bit heated when peter doocy yesterday tried to steer her off her talking points. listen. >> so what do you call it here at the white house when 10,000 people illegally cross the border in a single day? >> what do you call it, peter, when gop put forth a -- wait,

no, no, no, no, you can't. i'm -- we'll move on. no, no, no, no, no we're moving on. >> president seems to have picked up where karine jean-pierre left off. he blamed republicans for under mining border security by blocking immigration reform. >> president biden: we need our colleagues to act. for decades immigration reform has been a bipartisan in this country. unfortunately, the maga republicans in congress and my predecessor spent four years gutting the immigration system. >> biden is less fixated on restricting illegal crossings than boosting admissions. last night he highlighted his plans to fast track processing, expand legal pathways for citizenship. increase the total number of refugees. send money to help sanctuary cities and speed up work permits. the mayor of eagle pass,

defrocks as 2,000 migrants were together in one single night. >> the invitation from president, vice president. anyone from the administration come visit eagle pass. somebody in the white house needs to give us a plan of action. i haven't had that. >> administration this week extended work authorizations to more than 472,000 venezuelans who are already in the country. but karine jean-pierre punted when she was asked if there is any concern that that might exacerbate illegal crossings at the southern border, bill? >> bill: more to come, we believe. thank you, jacque, nice to see you at the white house today. >> dana: as the united nations assembly wraps up. new yorkers are thankful for that. billions of dollars for humanitarian aid is being misspent. not a new story. the u.s. federal government and american fill -- despite all

that cash, progress is grim. u.n.'s latest report says the world is falling short on every single goal. president of the copenhagen consensus and senior fellow is here with us now. this meeting is frustrated not just because of the traffic. you have numbers like this. call for number one. the progress report shows 660 million people without electricity. 575 million in extreme poverty. 84 million children out of school. none of these things are being solved and it is costing a lot. >> that's really the problem. we are so focused on saying we want to spend on everything. that means you just spread it out really thinly. a lot of the money ends up going to climate. and look, there are problems but they aren't equally easy to solve. some problems are easy to solve and do a lot of good. some problems are hard to solve and you can spend a lot of money and do very little good.

do the smart, easy ones first. that's what we've been arguing. let's do the effective policies first. >> bill: which are? >> maternal and newborn health. 2.3 million kids die every year in their first 28 days of life. this is not rocket science. it is getting moms institutions to make sure there is good treatment. it would cost $5 billion but save 166,000 moms and 1.2 million kids. >> bill: a great idea. recommended spending by each member state on u.n. goals between now and 2030. look at that. you said $5 billion? >> we are saying in total. the number that you have up there is per year. we are saying -- >> singular idea of helping women and children in childbirth. >> all of the things that we are

proposing would cost $35 billion per year. not nothing but less than 10% of what the u.n. is suggesting and save 4.2 million lives every year and make the poor half of the world $1.1 trillion richer every year. >> dana: best things first. your new book. the bar chart all the benefits and this little one is the cost. >> exactly. >> dana: doesn't -- it is driving people crazy that you have all these problems around the world and it feels like they want to ram the climate issue down our throats and also we're spending a ton of money but india and china, brazil continue to pollute and hurt they are growing their economies and it is driving people nuts. >> we're trying to solve climate wrong. you won't convince people saying be more uncomfortable and not drive your car. that won't work. that's what china and africa and anybody else is telling the

world. the way we fix climate is by getting innovation. that's how america has always fixed prob legals. innovation will make it so cheap everyone will want to switch. this one obsession, we can't let it drive everything else out. a new report that shows we're raiding all the money that goes to tuberculosis, malaria, and education and other great things to do the climate thing. that makes people in the rich world feel good but not solving problems. >> bill: if you are right, why don't they get it? >> dana: right. >> i think a lot of them get it but two things. if you come to new york to get money. and so the bigger the problem, the more you can say this is the end of the world, give us a lot of money. the second part is they are all politicians. they want to say we're solving everything. they don't want to say yeah, we

won't do everything so let's do the smart stuff first. >> dana: it is not leadership. >> it is not and they should. >> bill: nice to see you in person. this was not good. you got a lot of fans at football games and they were behaving badly. the huge fight broke out 49ers, giants game in the bay area. we'll show it to you unfor naturally. >> he said you have to get this. he takes us on a plane. >> dana: 911 calls released after a pilot ejected from a f-35 fighter jet last sunday. more of the dramatic audio tape ahead. >> bill: is surge of migrants straining resources all over the country. we hear from an arizona official on the front lines for years on how the biden white house is making matters worse. >> all of our surveillance equipment on the southern border

has been removed that was previously installed and so we have a completely open southern border with surveillance equipment having been removed. >> who removed that? >> this administration.

and i guess he landed in my backyard and we are trying to see if we can get an ambulance to the house, please. >> bill: unbelievable. that's a homeowner in south carolina calling 911 after that pilot who ejected out of that $80 million plane the f-35 last weekend landed in his backyard. the jet flying on autopilot eventually crashed about 60 miles away. the pilot later getting on the

same phone call to explain. >> military jet crash. i'm the pilot. we need to get rescue rolling. i'm not sure where the airplane is. it would have crash landed somewhere. i ejected. >> dana: wow. >> bill: his wing man landed safely. he was all right. i heard about this story and for me this is like life imitating art. if you saw tom cruise's latest top gun movie. he is out in the desert and he needs some help, too and all alone and this is what happened in that movie. >> where am i? >> dana: the guy is like so there is this guy in my backyard and there was a plane crash or something.

can we get an ambulance over here? glad he is okay. >> bill: the pilot is okay but still don't have answers as to how we lose an $80 million plane. the most advanced in the world. [shouting] >> dana: hard hits were not only on the field during last night's 49ers/giants game in the bay area. video shows some fans fighting in the stands and that soonest ca lateed. the violent incident not the only one in the early season. >> the hits keep coming literally for the nfl and its fans. the latest incident than unsportsmanlike conduct involved two women during the game. the ugly moments off the field also involved three guys as the women swing at each other. one man grabbed the woman's hair

while he holds his beer. the violence spilling down the stairs as the women traded blows and hair pulls. no official word what started the altercation. one guy who posted this video claims it was because of someone sliding by to get into their seat. can you imagine a fight starting over that? the security guard tried to break up the fight. it took time. everyone involved is a 49ers fan. we've reached out to police to see if there were any arrests or charges. this is just the latest in a string of fan fights. on sunday some texans fans got into it by the concession stands as their team was losing at home to the colts. another fan is facing criminal charges including disorderly conduct and assault after a violent confrontation at the cardinals versus commanders game during week one at fed ex field. all of this includes the tragic death of a 53-year-old new england patriots fan after a

fight at gillette stadium sunday night. the district attorney saying an autopsy found a medical issue may have led to the death of dale mooney and not a traumatic injury. that investigation remains ongoing. >> dana: thank you. >> people crossing illegally travel on foot. urinate, defecate on the farms. it is ironic that private citizens but field fences yards away from the u.s. border fence when the materials to finish were paid for, delivered. >> bill: that's arizona's yuma county supervisor on capitol hill describing the impact of an open border in his community. migrants trespassing on private property. destroying farmland and strange local resources. jonathan lines is with me and thank you for coming back here. the one thing about yuma that a

lot people don't know, it's farmland and you have a lot of farms and you feed america in so many ways the lettuce and radishes and you name it, it comes from yuma, arizona. when i was with you about a year and a half ago, you took me along the border and showed me the lights that are on at nighttime and then you showed me cameras on every light post that were i guess every 50 yards for as far as the eye could see. and you said once joe biden became president, those cameras were never turned on. is that still a true story? >> yes, still a true story and those cameras i showed you are on our western front. everything on our southern front from rio, colorado out east, all of that has been removed. all of the infrastructure and the lights and more importantly all of the cameras. so we don't have that intel capacity and that tool has been taken out of the tool box and border patrol and customs in

that area. >> bill: so how many miles does that cover? >> we have 118 miles on the yuma sector. i will estimate that's probably 60 or 70 miles into next sector, tucson area, where we see a significant uptick in people coming across, up to 2,000 a day. >> bill: wow. it seems to me it's wide open there in a lot of parts in your part of the country. mark kelly ran for re-election for the u.s. senate, right? he said he was committed to closing the gaps in yuma. how many gaps are there and how many have been closed, jonathan? >> so mayokas came here almost two years ago, commoveded to the mayor and i would close nine of the 11. only three have been closed so far. the others remain open where people are coming across. that's where we're losing people who are dying in the desert. we are almost approaching 700 who have died in the southern

portion of yuma county. and extending over into the other counties. close to 70 in our county. what's more frustrating is that they want to then -- they have told customs and border protection they need to send 50% of their manpower over to help border patrol assist in processing so we have an additional challenge at our ports right now where we have legal and lawful trade and now they will be shut down to 50% along the southwestern border which will complicate the situation more. they talk about expediting people coming into the country and under the biden administration they are no longer doing the dna testing for the children to confirm they are actually coming across with families. so these are the things that are affecting us. >> bill: why is that dna testing so important, do you think? >> to maintain that these people

are not being trafficked. there is over 100,000 kids gone missing. they cannot account for the whereabouts of these children. and i am -- marsha blackburn proposed putting it back in place. i don't know why it was taken out. there were 86 areas mayokas was not enforcing in the code for legal -- for immigration. we need to get back to that business. we need to slow it down. border patrol is not able to do good background checks with the people coming across when they come across as fast as they are. closing down our ports ceasing legal and lawful trade is not a way to do it. increased strain on the whole system. >> bill: nothing is getting better and your testimony in washington, d.c. showed that as well. we'll stay on it. we always have. jonathan lines, yuma, arizona. thank you for your time today. >> thank you, bill.

>> dana: ukraine's president seeking more military aid from the west. support is waning on capitol hill. >> europeans need to step up. if they don't, you know, this is their backyard, then they will have a much more difficult time of getting u.s. aid to help ukrainians.

nature and it seems that it's a bit easier to prove an allegation when you have got a physical piece of property in your possession. how do you see it? >> good morning, bill and dana. look, this is much, much different than the case against bob menendez a number of years ago. the reason for that is they found $480,000 in cash as alleged in the indictment in his home. and in his wife's safe deposit box. gold bars in his home and in a safe in the home. it will be very difficult, it seems to me, for united states senator to explain why he has $480,000 in cash stuffed in jackets with his name on them in

closets in his home. i did 130 of these corruption cases when i was u.s. attorney in new jersey. we had a few of them that were like this where folks were taking cash bribes and stuffed them in suit jackets, blazers, you know, windbreakers in their homes. when the f.b.i. searched, they found them. i never once heard anybody have a good explanation, especially someone in public office, for having that kind of cash in their home and not deposited in a bank somewhere. >> dana: can i ask you, sir, what happens if this goes forward? you have a presidential election, you have bob menendez up in 2024. this is the second time in a decade he has been charged with corruption. six years ago he beat it with a hung jury. now are the stakes higher? what happens in new jersey if there is a change? >> well look, you know, new jersey is a pretty straight

forward process. we went through it when i was governor from another senator passed away. it is the choice of the governor of new jersey to make an appointment that would last until the next general election if bob menendez were to resign or be removed from office after a conviction. phil murphy's term runs until january of 2026. so, you know, the idea would be if menendez had to leave or volunteered to leave, it would give the democratic governor an opportunity to appoint a replacement. and that's the way it would work. i appointed a replacement for the senator and appointed my republican state attorney general to serve until the next election when cory booker was elected. >> dana: you need to save your voice. we know you are at the airport headed for denver. thank you for jumping on the phone. we appreciate it. thank you.

>> thank you, these are very serious charges. he is in very, very big trouble. >> bill: got it. thank you for your time. talk soon. >> dana: some republican lawmakers questioning why u.s. taxpayers should be on the hook for more aid to ukraine coming as ukrainian president zelensky visited capitol hill yesterday making his case for more assistance to fight russia's invasion. let's bring in kurt volker, former u.s. envoy to ukraine. let's listen last night. zelensky at the national archives. call for one. >> there is not a soul in ukraine that does not feel gratitude to you, america, to you, the people who help us not because -- because you have to, but because your heart cannot let you do otherwise. >> dana: he was doing the hard work to try to get the support to continue. i don't know if you could say the biden administration is doing that same kind of support

in terms of a public push by the president and why it matters and why america should continue to do it. you have people in the house and senate side, republicans mainly saying not sure it will go the distance. what is the precarious state of ukrainian aid right now? >> it's a very interesting situation because you have zelensky in washington making the case as to why this is in american interest. the biden administration seeking the money and providing the weapons but not making the case as much. so you have senators, congressmen, people getting questions and they don't have the leadership in front to hang onto and say no, this is an american interest, here is why we're doing it. just to give you my perspective, if russia is stopped and degraded in ukraine it's one less threat to the united states to worry about. frankly it's a serious threat because russia, if they succeed in ukraine, would be looking at

reacquiring other pieces of the former soviet union as well. potentially the baltic states and drag us in directly. by spending less than 5% of our own defense budget to help ukraine we are preventing bigger threats that could emerge. >> dana: i'm not sure if america believes russia would be a threat. i know what you are talking about. i feel like there hasn't been enough of the explanation to the american people. now you have the u.s. senators led by j.d. vance and others saying we want to re-examine this. this week we had admiral kirby from the white house on and we were asking him about the aid to ukraine and the attack -- the administration slow walking it to the point you wonder are you wanting to help them win decisively or lose slowly? >> that's exactly right. i am very frustrated with the slow pace in which aid has been delivered. we've done an enormous amount. no one can say otherwise.

but it has always come late and not when needed and we are still holding back on systems like the attack em s. they can't sustain their forces in southern ukraine and crimea they need those systems. we should be moving on that more quickly. the reason we're facing this difficulty on capitol hill now with getting additional aid approved is because we didn't act more swiftly earlier. >> dana: quick question. can ukraine still win against russia in this war? >> there is no question in my mind that ukraine will win. ukraine's objective is to survive as a sovereign independent country and you can't take ukrainianness out of the ukrainians. they'll be there and fight for their homes like americans would if we were attacked. ukraine will be there and fight and win. the question is how long does it take and what happens inside russia as russia's forces are slowly degraded? >> dana: thank you for being on

the show today. >> thank you. >> some aren't looking for anything logical like money. they can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. some men just want to watch the world burn. >> bill: could be a rap for a hollywood legend, dana. today's hemmer's celebrity news. michael caine says he has likely made his last movie. the oscar winner saying i'm 90 now and i can't walk properly. i'm retired now. look at some of the unforgettable movies he was in. it spanned decades. >> dana: one of peter's favorites as well. and mine. there is a great library of work that he has done, including theater as well. not just the movies. >> bill: a lot of the batman movies. i licked interstellar a lot.

two hours and 45 minutes long but i was drawn into it how forces above speak to us, etc. on and on. i need to shut up right now. that was another one. >> dana: i was thinking -- did you sit for the entire two hours and 45 minutes? >> i was caught up in it? i liked the room where the books were on the wall. >> dana: you were very strong. >> bill: yes. it was cool. >> dana: all right. >> nice to be above ground again. i was below ground with an ex exelby -- >> dana: he is recalling his ordeal and the amazing effort pulling him to safety. he joins us next to tell us how he feels to be back above ground.

>> bill: it is called one of the largest cave rescues ever. crews worked around the clock to pull out our next guest to safety. he was trapped thousands of feet underground in the country of turkey for more than a week. say hello to researchers mark dickey and his partner, jessica van joining us from hungary. you look great. i don't think anyone could ever

tell. welcome to our program here and congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> bill: let's get into it now. mark, you go below the earth and have gastro intestinal bleeding and you can't move. jessica, you start to ascend to get supplies to help him and how did you get out, mark? >> with the help of the entire international cave rescue community. it was one hell of a large event. i've heard it referenced as the most complex cave rescue that happened yet. i don't know if that's true but it was with the help of many, many people that i consider friends and professional rescuers. >> dana: how many days were you there waiting? >> i lost count under there. it is pure dark and days run into each other. i think it was ten days. >> bill: you know, i know you said he were determined to live.

did you think there was a point where you weren't going to make it? >> there was one moment while i was waiting for jessica to get back with the supplies and my condition was deteriorating. we reached the point the two people with me were struggling to find my pulse in my wrist and that's not a good sign. a few moments it became a question. >> dana: jessica, did you know any concerns before you descended that he might get ill? >> he was ill when i left but in much more stable condition and unfortunately message had come out while i was on the surface that he had gotten worse and he was losing blood. yes, i didn't know what i would walk into. i knew it wouldn't be great. >> before we went in the cave for the first time it was totally unknown, unexpected.

i go to the doctor every year and this came out of the blue. we went in expecting no problems and i was searching for an upper passageway to bypass a flooded passage. we were hoping to get around something called a sump. >> dana: may have i just ask why? >> why not? this is the edge of human exploration, the final frontier. where can you go where no human has ever been before? discoveries still await you. >> bill: i'm reading that you are an elite caveer. based on that you know what you are doing. >> i would not use the term elite but i have been caving for a while and i generally have a pretty good idea. i've been teaching cave rescue for over a decade and my pleasure to train and teach throughout the world. >> dana: you met with the american and hungarian rescuers that helped get you out. the beautiful sign behind you says welcome there. we have a question, though.

>> bill: two questions. jessica, what were you doing down there? >> what was i doing? i initially gave him the fluids that saved his life and then make way for more rescuers to bring him out. >> dana: they are explorers and want to explore. >> bill: the other question we have is you guys have been together for seven years, right? >> yep. caving the whole time. pushing the same lead with mark. >> maybe it's time, mark. just saying. >> dana: let's tie this knot. >> bill: we're matchmakers. >> i thought you would say it's time to go caving again. >> dana: will you do it again? >> time to buy new gear. the cave destroyed much of our equipment and ask people to donate to gofundme and help the

rescuers all over the world. >> dana: we're glad you are okay. >> bill: you make a good couple. just saying. maybe it's time. >> thank you. >> thank you. have a great day. >> bill: come on, mark, you got it in you, man. mark dickey and jessica van orr out of hungary. >> dana: a suspect dies in police custody after a beating in a jail. an indictment against the deputies involved. today is a special day at our house. we'll explain coming up. ♪

>> bill: prosecutors indicting nine memphis deputies in a man who died in custody after officers held him down and beat him repeatedly. hard to watch them and still is now. we have the follow-up in atlanta. >> a caution, some of the video in this story is graphic. the event itself happened back in october. the video has just been released. nine of those deputies charged in beating a prisoner to death. two charged with murder. 33-year-old freeman lunged from his cell as food was being distributed. tried to grab an officer. as many of ten offices beat him at length. stomping, kicking, punching,

user pepper spray. one officer knelt on his back for six minutes until his body went limp. here is his mother. >> i also want to know who are the people that murdered my son. they have blood on their hands. they go home every night to their family. where for me and my granddaughter we have to see my son, her father, in a box. in a box. >> the medical examiner said the case is a homicide. sheriff said not true. they say freeman had a heart condition. sheriff says he died of a heart attack while being restrained. here is the sheriff. >> i want this community to know that i stand with these officers. i believe that if i were not running for another office, these indictments never would have happened. and i find this despicable. the officers remained on paid administrative leave. if there is a fund raised to

help with their legal fees i'll be the first to donate. >> he is running for mayor of memphis and tyree nichols died from a beating. five former memphis police officers charged in that murder. >> bill: two big cases. steve harrigan in atlanta. thank you, steve. >> dana: switching gears a bit before we go, guess what? do you remember when you first held percy up for everybody? he is two years old today. the fastest vizsla i've ever seen. a good boy. loves to play ball. quite an athlete and he has brought a lot to joy to all of us. >> bill: he is all grown up in two years. a handsome man right there, percy, happy birthday to you. >> dana: martha maccallum is in for harris faulkner next.
