this is across the board. that letter of 4,000 dealers, which is growing on a daily basis, that is every brand across the country, ford, chrysler, lexus, bmw, mercedes. not just one manufacturer. they are all experiencing the same thing. consumers are afraid of where they will charge their car. they can't afford the increased cost. they can't afford to put a charger in their own home. it is not cheap. >> dana: a lot of people who live in apartments don't have the option to charge anyway. there is a lot here. the white house meddled in the market. it is not working. i don't know what's next. i would love to stay in touch to find out. having that many cars on your lot is not good for your business or for the consumer. we'll stay in touch with you, tom. >> great. great to see you. >> dana: warnings about the wuhan lab and a possible cover up three years before the covid pandemic raising new questions
7:01 am
about china's role in the health disaster and what dr. fauci knew about it and china has a respiratory illness overloading medical centers. i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." >> bill: how are you doing? >> dana: great. >> bill: great. i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. we are learning a u.s. health official working for dr. fauci raised serious safety concerns six years ago in 2017 after taking a tour of the lab in wuhan. china's first-ever level four bio safety lab for handling dangerous pathogens. >> dana: the official was shocked and alarmed after learning the lab was considering plans to reverse engineer the deadly he bola virus. when she told superiors before writing her report she was ordered to delete any reference to ebola. >> bill: what they knew and what they might want to hide that critical information. good morning, rich.
7:02 am
>> the u.s. health worker toured the wuhan institute of virology as it was about to open its most secure lab. chinese officials they needed more expertise to operate it. the same facility some believe u.s. officials started covid-19 with an accidental lab leak. u.s. health official touring the lab worked for the national institute of allergy and infectious disease at part of n.i.h. emails obtained by fox she wrote to other officials that during her tour, a technician at the wuhan lab complained it was illegal to import ebola to china to study it. n.i.h. worker wrote to other department officials i remember he said since they don't have the ebola virus they had considered using reverse genetics to create the virus. i was shocked to hear what he said that. i also worry the reaction of people in washington when they read this. the technician is only a worker, not a decision maker nor principal investigator. how much we should believe what
7:03 am
he said. she wrote if that got out it would be difficult to get more information about the lab. two days later she received a reply, quote, as we discussed, delete that comment. that detail never made it into her official report. former u.s. official eaves say this is just one of many concerns about that lab. >> it highlights we don't know enough about what really is going on at the wuhan institute of virology. whether they hide some of their research. they aren't being truthful. >> we asked the n.i.h. to comment on emitting these details and whether n.i.h. officials have concerns about the wuhan lab. we didn't get a response. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: more israeli hostages set to be released today with hours left before the cease-fire in gaza expires. mediateors are trying to negotiate another extension to the temporary pause. let's check in with greg palkot live in tel aviv with the latest
7:04 am
on the hostage release talks. hi, greg. >> hi, dana. they are complicated and very dangerous stuff. we're here in tel aviv waiting for the release of the latest group of hostages after their ordeal at the hands of hamas down in the gaza strip. 12 hostages were freed last night. the former captives are telling horror store ephors about their captivity. little food, little light. sanitary conditions, difficulty sleeping. one young man being forced to view torture videos and beating. 60 israeli women and children released. it is believed nearly 160 remain held by hamas and other groups. among them, it is hoped, 10-month-old and other family members. a relative told fox news earlier the israeli government said they won't be released today. take a listen. >> we tried to remain hopeful. we continue with our battle and
7:05 am
efforts as a family, as a united family to try and get some answers. >> the israeli government had said that hamas was not in control of the 10-month-old and the family. hamas was claiming, in fact, they have been killed. we heard from the israeli government that they cannot confirm that. a complicated and dangerous story. back to you. >> dana: and an important one. thank you. >> bill: majority leader chuck schumer talking about anti-semitism in america. drop in here. >> i don't believe that criticism is and this speech is also not an attempt to pit hate towards one group against that of another. i believe that bigotry against one group of americans is bigotry against all and championed legislation like the
7:06 am
covid-19 hate crimes act that targets violence against asian-americans and the nonprofit security grant program which provides funding to help all houses of worship, churches, mosques, synagogues, and to protect them from extremists. when president trump called for a muslim ban during the first weeks of his presidency, i held an emergency press conference to protest the ban alongside a muslim mom and four of her daughters. all dressed -- who said they feared they might never see their father again. a deeply distressing moment. i'm an emotional sort. i began to cry. president trump saw me crying on tv and gave me a nickname. crying chuck schumer. i was and am proud of that moniker. the growing and vibrant arab
7:07 am
community is a vital arab american community is a vital part of my nation and my city and condemn any vitriol and hatred against them. we tragically saw where such hatred can lead sometimes in vermont this week. that is unacceptable. but today, i want to focus my remarks on anti-semitism because it hits so close to home for me. and because i believe this moment demands it. i have just said what this speech is not, so what is this speech about? i want to describe the fears and anxieties of many jewish americans right now, particularly after october 7th, who feel there are aspects of the debate around israel and gaza that are crossing over into anti-semitism, rank
7:08 am
anti-semitism with jewish people simply being targeted for being jewish, having nothing to do with israel. i want to explain through the lens of history why this is so dangerous. normalization and exacerbation of this rise in hate is the danger many jewish people fear most. and finally, i want to suggest how and why i hope that all americans of goodwill can come together and do a better job of condemning such views and such behavior. but first, let us establish the facts. there is no question that anti-semitism is a serious problem in america. in general, jewish americans represent 2% of the u.s. population. yet we are the targets of 55% of all religion-based hate crimes recorded by the f.b.i. this problem has been steadily
7:09 am
worsening in recent years but after hamas attacked israel on october 7th, hate crimes against jewish americans have skyrocketed. the anti-defamation says incidents have increased nearly 300% since october 7th. the nypd has reported a 214% increase in new york city. and after october 7th, jewish americans are feeling singled out, targeted, and isolated. in many ways we feel alone. the solidarity that jewish americans initially received from many of our fellow citizens was quickly drowned out by other voices while the dead bodies of jewish israelis were still warm. while hundreds of jewish israelis were being carried as hostages back to hamas tunnels under gaza. jewish americans were alarmed to
7:10 am
see some of our fellow skit citizens say that attack was justified. a vicious, blood curdling pre-medicated massacre of innocent men, women, children, elderly justified. even worse, in some cases, people even celebrated what happened describing it as the deserved fate of, quote, colonizers and calling for glory to the martyrs who cared out these heinous attacks. that happened here in america. many of the people who express these sentiments in america aren't neo-nazis or card carrying clan members or islamic extremists. they are in many cases that most liberal jewish americans felt were their ideological fellow
7:11 am
travelers. not long ago, many of us marched together for black and brown lives. we stood against anti-asian hatred and protested bigotry against the lgbtq community and fought for reproductive justice. out of the recognition that against one oppressed group is an injustice against all. apparently, mr. president, in the eyes of some, this principle does not extend to the jewish people. the largely survivors of decades of imperial russia and holocaust under nazi germany, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. people forcibly evicted from arab countries and their descendants. others scattered across the mediterranean after being expelled from spain and portugal in the late 1400s. do they not deserve the
7:12 am
solidarity of those who advocate for the rights and dignity of the oppressed? given the long history of persecution of the jewish people throughout the world? many of those protesting israeli policy note that at least 700,000 palestinians displaced or forced from their homes in 1948, but they never mention the 600,000 jews across the arab world who were also displaced and whose property was confiscated and lives were threatened, who were expelled from their communities. the hope at the time was that there would be two states, a jewish state and the palestinian state living side-by-side. the plan was for the state of israel to absorb the jewish people from arab lands and the new palestinian state to absorb the palestinians who now lived in israel. in fact, israel did absorb the displaced jewish people of arab lands but the arab nations
7:13 am
instead sanctioned the united nations to set up refugee camps for the palestinians, refusing to accept the possibility that any of them would ever be relocated. several times throughout history, jew israeli prime minister called for a return to close to the pre-1967 borders established by the united nations plan. those calls were rejected by the plo and the wider arab community. many, if not most, jewish americans, including myself, supported a two-state solution. we disagree with prime minister netanyahu and his administration's encouragement of militant settlers in the west bank which has become a considerable ob stacking to a two-state nation. but the reason why i invoke history about the founding of the israeli state is because
7:14 am
forgetting or even deliberately ignoring this vital context is dangerous. some of the most extreme rhetoric against israel has emboldened anti-seamites attacking jewish people simply because they're jewish, independent of anything having to do with israel. and those who are inclined to examine the world through the lens of oppressors versus the oppressed should take note that the many thousands of years of jewish history are defined by oppression. from october 7th, 2023, to 2018 of the tree of life synagogue and 1999 at the los angeles jcc to 1986 at the never shalom synagogue in install bull to 1974 at an elementary school. to yom kippur 1973 in the goalian heights to 1972 at the
7:15 am
munich olympics and airport. to 1967 at the straits of tehran. to the 1940s and 30s in germany and central europe. to the 1800s and 1679 in yemen and 1394 in france. 1290 in he can linoleate to the crusades to the middle ages to 629 in galilee. to the year 73 in jerusalem. 586 b.c. and 722 in same area. to the 13th century b.c. in egypt. the jewish people have been humiliated, ostracized, expelled and enslaved and massacre for millennia. to paraphrase lines recited every year at passover seder,
7:16 am
this is the bread of affliction that our forefathers ate in the land of egypt and every generation they rise up to destroy us. for jewish people all across the world, the history of our trauma going back many generations is central to any discussion about our future. to many americans, especially in our younger generation, too many americans, especially in our younger generation, don't have a full understanding of this history because some jewish people have done well in america, because israel has increased its power and territory, there are people who feel that jewish americans are not vulnerable, that we have the strength and security to overcome prejudice and bigotry, that we have, to quote the language of some, become the, quote, oppressors. in fact, anti-semitic conspiracy
7:17 am
theories throughout the generations often theorize, often weaponize this very dynamic by pitting what successes the jewish people used against them and against their fellow countrymen. that has been throughout history. it is happening now. but for many jewish americans, any strength and security that we enjoy always feels tenuous, no matter how well we're doing, it can all be taken away in an instant. that's just how it is. we only have to look back a century, a few generations, to see how this can happen. growing up, i remember my grandfather telling me that he rooted for germany over russia in world war i because germans treated the jewish people so much better than russia did. in the early 1900s, german jews were one of the most secure and prosperous ethnic communities in
7:18 am
europe. but in the span of a decade, all of that changed. when the nazis first marched in the streets and held rallies decrying the so-called international financiers, war prove tiers, communists, many germans of goodwill either stayed silent or marched alongside of them. not necessarily realizing what they were aiding and abetting. when add -- adolph hitler took the podium he called them parasites feeding on the body and productive work of other nations. by bits and pieces, the nazis softened the ground rhetoricly for what hitler stated was his true goal, the annihilation of the jewish race in europe.
7:19 am
so many of those early germans stayed on the sidelines after his horrifying intent was made clear. the end result, as we all know, was the most targeted and systematic genocide in all of human history. 6 million jewish people were exterminated in a few years while so many others turned a blind eye. history shows that anti-semitism is deeply embedded in europe. i have always said it is the poison of european societies, anti-semitism is the poison of european societies just as racism against black americans is the poison of our societies. while we're a far ways away from nazi germany today, this is why many people worry about the marches today especially in europe. what may begin as legitimate criticism of israeli policy or
7:20 am
even a valid debate over other religious, economic and political issues, can sometimes cross into something darker attacking jewish people for simply being jewish. obviously many of those marching here in the u.s. do not have any evil intent, but when jewish people hear chants like from the river to the sea, founding slogan of hamas, a terrorist group not shy about their goal to eradicate the jewish people in israel and around the globe, we are alarmed. when we see signs in the crowd that read by any means necessary after the most violent attack ever against israeli civilians we're appalled at the casual invocation of such savagery. when we see protestors at macy's thanksgiving day parade compare
7:21 am
the genocide of the holocaust equivalently to the israeli army's action to defeat hamas in self-defense of their people, we are shocked. and when we see many people in news organizations remain neutral about the basic absurdity of these claims and actions we're deeply disappointed. more than anything, we're worried, quite naturally, given the twists and turns of history about where these actions and sentiments could eventually lead. now, this is no intellectual exercise for us. for many jewish people, it's like a matter of survival informed once again by history. in this case, very personal history to me. take the story of my own family. my grandfather came to ellis island at a young age from eastern europe without an education, without a penny to his name. he was a street you are much
7:22 am
instealing apples from the push carts to survive but he dreamt of a brighter future. he ended up with paperworkers in utica new york and helped form the union there. he lost his job in the lead-up to world war ii so he came back to new york city and bought a little exterminateing business. his son, my father, followed in his footsteps and eventually took over that exterminateing business. my father struggled in that job barely making ends meet but together with my mom, he provided a stable and loving home in brooklyn for my siblings and me where we were able to flourish. and because of the tolerance and openness and opportunity that courses through all of american life, i now stand before you as the majority leader of the united states senate, the highest elected office a jewish person has ever attained in the history of this country. only in america, only in america
7:23 am
could an exterminator's son grow up to be the first jewish party leader in the senate. but it must be said also this is not the norm in the grand and long scheme of jewish history. while my grandfather came to america and encountered opportunity, many of his siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles and other family members remained behind in eastern europe. i was told why many of branches of our family tree stropped growing in 1941 when the nazis invaded. they asked my great grandmother, the wife of a locally revered rabbi to gather her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren on the porch of her home in the town square. as more than 30 people gathered on the porch, age 85 to 3 months, the nazis forced the remaining jewish citizens of the town to gather in the town
7:24 am
square and watch. when the nazis told my great grandmother you are coming with us, she refused. they machine gunned down every last one of them. the babies, the elderly, everybody in between. this story resonated deeply in my heart when i first started learning the details of the october 7th massacre in israel. i was in china with a bipartisan delegation of my fellow senators trying to get president xi jinping to open up chinese markets to american companies and stop the flow of fentanyl across our borders. as the horrors of october 7th started coming into focus, the israeli ambassador to china shared with me the story of what she heard had just happened in one of the kibbutz in israel. hamas terrorists entered the kibbutz on october 7th and killed more than 120 jewish residents from the elderly to
7:25 am
the babies. sadly, it was not the first time i heard of such evil being committed against the jewish people. most, if not all jewish americans, no stories similar to that. >> bill: a strong speech by chuck schumer. emotional and personal. i think the one line that sticks out to me, dana, that line at the beginning in many ways we feel alone talking about jewish americans watching these protests on campus and various cities across the country. more later tonight in the heart of new york city. >> dana: he was explaining that non-jewish communities may not understand how alone they feel. >> bill: nikki haley joins us now, republican presidential candidate. thanks for being patient with us. we wanted to get the message from chuck schumer. good morning and welcome back here. i have a number of things to get through. a comment on this. we talked to sabrina singh from
7:26 am
last hour. she said nothing has changed. do you see it the same way? >> you know, it's interesting. i appreciate the senator's speech. it is important for people to hear about it. let's look at a few things about what is happening with anti-semitism and get into what's happening with israel. let's stop talking about the dangers of anti-semitism and do something about it. you have foreign money going into universities right now from arab countries and chinese countries. don't be surprised that we have pro-hamas protests on our campuses when that foreign money is going in there. let's get the foreign money out of our universities. the second thing is look at all of the foreign bots on social media spreading disinformation, spreading pro-hamas messaging and spreading anti-semitism. there is a reason india and napall banned tiktok. our social media companies need
7:27 am
to get rid of foreign botts to get that all out. let's go to our president. when you talk about what the press secretary said about israel, the president is the one that refused to put anti-zionism into the definition of anti-semitism. anybody that thinks israel doesn't have the right to exist, that is just as bad as if the kkk was out here spewing hate. that hate is exactly the same as anti-semitism. he needs to fix the definition and hold everybody to that standard. but more than that, biden has gone and said he supports israel, you don't put conditions on your friends. he should be putting conditions on hamas. he is treating hamas and israel the same. let israel do what they need to do. they want to save those hostages as much as anyone. all biden has done from the beginning of this is put conditions on israel. >> bill: on that, 47 days to
7:28 am
iowa. ron desantis is coming after you and pull the full grassley on saturday. he says you are establishment with your positions, fundamentally out of step with republican voters. what do you think of that? >> i think that's what a candidate says when they are losing. i think you look. there is nothing establishment about a candidate who was the tea party candidate who ran for governor. nothing establishment when you have americans for prosperity, the most conservative grassroots organization in the country, coming out and endorse me because they like my economic plans and plans for the future of america. i think he is saying what he has to say because he is grasping at this point. our goal is to win the support of every iowan, granite stater and south carolina and every american. we'll keep working harder than everybody else and smarter than everybody else. we have a country to save. >> dana: you have a couple other competitors. donald trump is one of them and
7:29 am
his spokesperson said this, americans for prosperity has lit millions of dollars on fire to watch president trump's lead grow. no one can break the bond with voters. he kept his promises. chris christie said about you that she should run against trump or don't run against him. if you are running for second place tell everyone you are running for second place. i know that you are not running for second place is what you say. how do you respond to two of these competitors who think that you are not the one to take on trump? >> i don't play for second, i never have. i won't do it now. we're now in second place in iowa, second place in new hampshire and second place in south carolina. we have one more fellow to catch up to and the momentum is growing. we can feel it on the ground in new hampshire and in iowa. we'll keep working. look, president trump would have loved to have afps endorsement. everybody wants the largest
7:30 am
conservative grassroot organization in america. that's millions of people on the ground and all of the early states that want to see a change in our country. and so i think president trump would have loved to have that endorsement. i think with chris christie saying that i'm running against president trump. i wait for him to get on a debate stage. he can't start acting like president biden. he needs to get on the debate stage and confront us and let us talk about the differences and go forward. you have to face facts. i think president trump was the right president at the right time and agree with one of his policies. rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him. chaos follows him. with our country divided, the world on fire, we can't take that anymore. >> dana: enough republicans like that if he is 40 points ahead in some of the polls, then maybe the chaos was okay for those
7:31 am
voters, at least in the primary. >> on the ground nobody wants the chaos. i will tell you everybody looks at national polls. you need to look at the polls in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. the once getting ready for an election. go to vote in less than 50 days. they don't want chaos, they want action and look at the fact that we have to get this country back on track and they're ready to see a new generational leader do that. i will do that. >> bill: come back soon. we are out of time for now. thank you for being here, nikki haley. >> we just want our hostages back. give us our 200 hostages. >> a government lawyer mocking pleas for the return of israeli hostages as the biden administration struggles under internal opposition to israel policy. martha is here in a moment and join us to discuss that and more. stay tuned.
