he had done, you know, he hurt his cause. he hurt himself. and had he taken the paths that baseball had offered through rehabilitation and through a number of instances where he had an opportunity but he lived in denial. because he lived in that denial, he set his own case back and set himself back. baseball, i believe, wanted to in many instances see pete rose come back into the game. he had to pay a price. there had to be consequence for action. pete did not want to acknowledge that. john dowd told me when he and bart met with rose, that there was agreement for a path back but rubin katz, his lawyer said pete, don't take that deal and they told the commissioner pete is a legend. there was a reply no, baseball is the legend. >> bill: thank you for coming on there. no cause of death given yet from the medical examiner in clark

county. we'll await word perhaps later today on that. thank you, jim, from california. pete rose dead at the age of 83, wow. next hour now. >> dana: dangerous development in the middle east. the white house is now warning that iran is preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack on israel and the u.s. is warning of severe consequences for tehran. all of this comes as israeli ground troops are moving deeper into lebanon conducting localized raids on hezbollah positions. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. from baseball to -- >> bill: a lot of things happening. the statement out from the white house, here it is quote, the united states has indications that iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against israel and actively supporting defensive preparations to defend israel against this attack. a direct military attack from iran against israel will carry severe consequences for iran, end quote. >> dana: incursion into lebanon follows the strike in beirut

that took out hezbollah top boss. israeli troops press ahead with a rapidly-escalating offensive against hezbollah, a well trained militia opening a new front in a year long war. >> the thing about the islamic republic of iran. they are the source of violence and instability and the ones threatening u.s. troops in the middle east. in the not so distant future that's where israeli focus will go. we have other fish to fry to deal with first. hamas and hezbollah. >> dana: chief foreign correspondent trey yengst is live in haifa in northern israel. a book release as well. could not be more timely, trey. >> good morning. really significant developments here in the middle east just over the past few minutes. u.s. officials are now warning of an imminent iranian ballistic missile attack against israel. this comes just days after the

leader of hezbollah, has am nasrallah was killed. he was the leader of iran's largest proxy in the middle east. last night israeli forces entered lebanon on the ground. we're tracking all the developments for you. last night i was with an israeli commando unit targeting hezbollah positions in southern lebanon. we saw israeli forces staging on the border and entering very quietly trying to go after this buffer zone that they are creating between israel and lebanon to eventually allow israeli civilians to return to their homes in the northern part of this country. there are questions, though, about what comes next and how far israeli forces will enter into lebanon. this morning the israeli military announced that 20 different towns and villages in southern lebanon are being ordered to evacuate north of the river. the israelis are likely to

expand ground operations inside lebanon as this country braces for the possibility of a fresh attack from iran in the coming hours or days. >> dana: i had one question on the evacuations. i was reading an article about it this morning. we're looking at a map right here. if you are evacuating from lebanon, where are you going? >> it's a great question and there are more than a million lebanese civilians currently displaced from their homes as a result of the israeli air and ground campaign. many of them are going to the lebanese capital of beirut. tens of thousands are evacuating into neighboring syria. gives you a sense of how dire the situation is as the israeli air strikes increase against this hezbollah stronghold in the southern part of the country. >> bill: history tells you the israelis in southern lebanon doesn't work out that great. in 2006 that was the case and that's where they found out on the ground. do you get a sense from the idf people you speak with, trey, that this operation can and will

be different? >> absolutely. the israelis right now are describing this as a limited raid over the border but i can tell you based on our reporting and being inside southern lebanon just hours ago, israelis are preparing to stay for a significant amount of time. there are a variety of ground forces involved in these operations and not just one area along the border. they are trying to target as many of the hezbollah strongholds in these areas so that people can return to their homes and they say that in the tunnel network that hezbollah dug near to the israeli lebanon border they find things like anti-tank guided missiles and ammunition smuggled into southern lebanon via syria coming from the iranian regime. >> dana: israeli politics is fascinating and often contentious. netanyahu has had his ups and downs. certainly i would imagine after last week more up than down. at this point as we hear from

the white house that they also have indication that iran is planning to attack israel, how is the leadership of israel faring at this point as they press their advantage? >> the dynamic for israeli leadership has changed just in the past two weeks. if you think back to a year ago today, before the october 7th massacre, the largest threat for israel was iran and its largest proxy hezbollah. we were briefed on the threat from hezbollah and the understanding was in the early days of a conflict with the group that holds territory just about 17 miles from here, that 6,000 rockets would rain down on israeli cities each and every day. we never saw that because the israelis launched a significant preemptive strike campaign against hezbollah rocket and missile launching positions. they then conducted the pager attack that took out 1500 to 2,000 operatives across lebanon and systematically targeted the

leaders of the association. in the distance we saw interceptions but no significant response from hezbollah and likely why we're seeing the new threat from iran. the iranian regime is trying to save face in all of this understanding the israelis have not only destroyed one of their largest proxy in gaza, hamas, but now hezbollah. >> dana: your new book talking about october 7th and the aftermath as you cover this breaking news story. we want to bring in jessica tarlov co-host of the five and rich lowry editor of national review. late last week one of your writers wrote about the biden administration. at what point do you join the side that you are on? this morning we hear that the white house is aware that iran -- they are preparing to help israel. i was thinking of that line and what it means at this moment.

>> israel has undertaken the most successful 10 days of counter terrorism operations we've ever seen. totally amazing. they got to follow it up. never a better moment the try to neutralize hezbollah and iran has to do something to save face. i just wonder how much they'll do knowing what the israelis did to hezbollah, how they did it, how they infiltrated the organization, knew its every move. they have to be a little afraid now. the ultimate point. if israel reestablishes deterrents in the region it will get more stable, something the administration never seems to understand. >> well, i think that netanyahu has proven to a lot of people who are not particular fans of his that he knows how to run his country especially in something that is so important to them, their national self-defense. and i've noticed amongst people that i talk to, tend to lean left people skeptical of him and concerned about the loss of innocent lives. not hearing much complaining

about that. really just awe and wonder at waiting 10 to 15 years to be able to pull off this deeper operation moving into this. nasrallah is our enemy and when you think back to what netanyahu said on the floor of congress. our enemies are your enemies. i think a lot of people didn't take that to heart at that moment. the politics of it maybe didn't align as it does now. when you take out someone responsible for murdering hundreds of americans and terrorizing an entire region you had celebrations in the street. normal everyday people that live in lebanon and syria thrilled that nasrallah is gone. strong statement from vice president harris when he was murdered. first line terrorist in there. no equivocation. i'm glad to see we're going to war with you if iran fights back like this. >> dana: sometimes breaking news can headline a debate. they're working on questions now. hopefully there is not an attack but regardless former policy

playing a role more than it has in the past. jd vance and tim walz will debate tonight. do you think it will be a topic? >> it may be the first national debate we had where economy is not the first question. it may be foreign policy. the hurricane response. i would expect jd vance to do very well. we've seen him on the trail. he will take any question and go on any show and answer any hostile question and very good at this. walz is not to be underestimate i had. certain -- the debates aren't scored on pure points. the impression you make or the moment you benefit from. >> bill: jessica, i think what trey reported there needs to be emphasized. there has been no significant response from hezbollah. that is because their leadership has been taken out and we don't know the guiding principles or personnel for this group. >> when you have a kind of stone

age level cult of personality and a new leader can only last ten minutes because of how precise israel has been you have your back up against the wall and you need your mom and dad to bail you out which is what iran would be doing in this circumstance. i can't wait for the shows that will be created or new seasons of this. homeland, all of it. >> bill: another way of stating it. there is a moment, a window of opportunity and whether israel is taking advantage of this. and netanyahu is not looking back. >> yeah. again, you have them totally disorganized. they can't put out resumes to get the promotion before they are taken out. this is a moment to destroy the launchers and all the material that iran has been depending on as a deterrent against israel. >> israel is banking on the fact world approval can't get lower and u.n., ga last week, show up

and say we'll do what is best for us and when the dust settles do you want to be with a western democracy or with autocracy that terrorize people. >> bill: thanks for coming on. [shouting] >> bill: who knows where this thing is going? this is a potentially devastating port workers strike now underway. it will put more pressure on the economy. it will come up tonight during that debate. we'll go live to the picket lines and tell you what each side is saying. >> dana: riots, vandalism and looting. the chaos putting tim walz on the hot seat. can he defend his record in tonight's vp debate? >> bill: we hear from one of the heroes serving up hot meals to the victims of hurricane helene.

>> dana: fox news alert. breaking news on the workers strike. she just spoke to the president of the long shoreman's association who has been standing very firm on their demands. watch. >> what is the number? what are you demanding? >> we want $5 across the board for six years or better. or better. there is a lot more on the back end of our contract to make it stronger with automation, stronger words, stronger words for new technology. we don't ever want to see an

automation pier put over here in the united states. our container royalty. we want it back to the men where it belongs. >> the white house has been involved over the weekend. >> secretary of labor, has been terrific. she is knocking down doors, trying to stop this, she is trying to get us to a meeting where we can have a fair negotiations. it is the companies that don't want it. they don't want to sit here and be fair. that's why we're out here fighting for our livelihood. >> what more from the automation and what more protections could there be? they have language in there now. >> not strong enough. they come in with new technology. we just caught them in mobile, alabama called auto gate. that means the trucks are coming in and already checked in somewhere else and not using the checkers in the -- circumventing

the contract. they don't care. it is not fair. if we don't put our foot down now they would like to run over us and we won't allow that. >> you will grind the economy to the halt on the east and gulf coast. >> not us, they are. don't spin it now. you are fox news. >> are you worried that this strike -- are you worried this strike will hurt the farmers that need to reach the export market? >> they have to realize who the longshoremen are, right? people never gave a [bleep] about us until now when they finally realized that the chain is being broke now. cars won't come in, food won't come in, clothing won't come in. you know how many people depend on our jobs? half the world. and it is time for them, time for washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us because we took care of them. we are here 135 years and brought them where they are

today and they don't want to share. >> dana: lydia hu joins us from the port of new jersey. we have been following you as you have done the story for us. now the rubber has met the road and he feels like he is dug in and feels he is in a strong position. is he in as strong a position as he thinks or appears to seem to be? >> you know, he certainly feels like he is in a strong position and he is probably looking around at other unions and the wage gains and record contracts that they have notched in recent years. just last year the west coast port workers got a new contract with a 32% wage hike over four years. so now he is looking at that and saying we want that and better. just yesterday, dana, he

rejected port management offer of a 50% wage hike over eight years. just to give you an idea where they stand now. it seems like the two sides are far apart. but he does at least seem to feel very empowered. >> dana: i think i really understand the money and wanting more of the money. and i also understand where they are coming from on no automation. but what does the other side of the union say about automation and the need to be more modern in our ports? >> when you look around the world, the experts tell us that the u.s. lags behind in terms of automation. china, for example, their ports are much more automated than ours and that means they are able to process cargo faster, more efficiently, more of it. that comes at a lower cost for them. the longer our ports are less

automated, it means american consumers, you, me, all of us are paying more for our everyday items to reach our doorstep. that's the push/pull here. preserving jobs for port workers and american workers, but also making -- bringing costs down for all of us and keeping our economy going. we are a nation of imports and need to access them quickly. >> dana: incredible work, lydia. stay in touch. thank you. >> bill: want to bring in the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. agency for food and agriculture. his family runs one of the biggest farming operations in indiana. the head of the union wasn't messing around, right? there is another sound bite of him saying we'll cripple you. let me just show viewers what is affected by the strike. you have produce, you have cars, you have parts for machines and automobiles, you have clothing, you have pharmaceuticals, wine and spirits, holiday goods, toys, seafood, bananas, you name

it. these two sides, kip, haven't spoken since june. what is up with that? >> this just shows -- just another barrier of the biden-harris administration, secretary of commerce roman dough and the secretary of transportation buttigieg. they should have been involved months ago to solve or bring a solution to making sure the strike didn't become a reality. you know, i look at our industry. our exports are off from under the trump administration we had nearly $32 billion trade surplus. next year predicting a $42 million deficit. farmers' income is off nearly 40 some% from the year 22 to 24. we need global trade. we haven't had any trade deals with the biden-harris administration. so i hope they get this solved quick. i know we export 18 billion

worth of pork and beef out of these ports from texas to maine. another 6 billion in poultry products. we have to solve this. we have to make sure that we have ports, too, that are operating efficiently and competitively with others around the world or we won't be the global trader of choice. >> bill: we're getting emails from americans who live in the caribbean. we rely on the ships that come out of america to bring us food and supplies and they are right about that. i guess, kip, if you take it down the road a little bit, how bad could this get? >> it will get really bad. i look at the supply chains in agriculture in particular. some of these have an 18 month supply chain build out. the time we decide we produce a product to the time it gets to a port in georgia. we have to plan ahead. what happens is, if we can't move the product into the ports it backs up in the system from the poultry and beef processor, work back to the farm and back

to that person that starts and initiates the process of producing an animal as an example for a food product. so this has got to be solved quick. we have to make sure we remain competitive in the global marketplace. today we're not. >> bill: they want a 77% pay raise and apparently management came and said we'll give you 50%. they make on average $81,000 a year but with overtime you can make $2 hundred thousand. what gives? >> there is no question you have to go to automation. i don't want to get too much into the negotiations what they need to be doing. when i look at our industry i still remember my grandfather making a comment to me when they went from horses to tractors is the question what will we do with our horses and the hay? the industrial revolution came along and allowed agriculture to

be be -- automation is part of what we have to go through in life. it is time to reeducate people and make sure they are part of the workforce in the future. >> bill: i'm way out of time. i understand automation has been incorporated in different countries around the world for the same job and they have not lost jobs. can you say whether or not that's true? >> i would say that's true. i have been throughout africa and up through the middle east and on into asia and there is no question automation has paid well and it hasn't eliminated jobs. they found other jobs for those people working at the ports. again, be competitive. we have to get automated. >> bill: kip from northern indiana good to talk to you. see where we go. hope for the best. >> dana: israel on alert. senior white house official telling fox news a strike from iran is imminent. this as israel conducts a ground invasion into lebanon as part of its effort to erase hezbollah's

>> bill: breaking news out of the middle east. white house saying iran is planning an imminent attack on israel. this in response to last weekend's israeli air strike that killed a leader of hezbollah and many other leaders below him. pete hegseth joins us now. hello to you. dynamic situation right now talking to trey yengst 30 minutes ago. there was a report in the "new york times" about ten minutes ago picked up by others in israel now that the u.s. embassy, we haven't confirmed this -- the u.s. embassy has directed all u.s. government employees and family members in israel, west bank and gaza to shelter in place until further notice. this is what we await as to whether or not this current conflict reaches another stage of escalation. >> well, we knew iran would retaliate. the question is whether it is substantive or performtive. in the past mostly performtive. substantive it would have been serious but it was mitigated

before it entered israeli soil. u.s. assets will be a part of any interception of ballistic missiles. that's what happened in the past and hearing reports of now. if israel knows and we know our intelligence services that an attack is imminent, yet again hopefully we are inside iran's decision loop, inside their intel agencies, just like israel was inside hezbollah's and continues to be in multiple places. that's a good thing. hopefully that means there is an ability to prepare for this attack. the question is how many and at what range and from how many different platforms does iran attempt to strike israel? do they really want a body count? do they really want destruction or domestic propaganda value for their own people to say they responded? the regime is not as -- they have to do this but they are on their back heels now.

israel will use the opportunity to do what it needs to do to take out iranian assets. i would guess, too, guys, to include nuclear capabilities which under this administration crept closer to getting a bomb, that's a situation israel can't live with. >> dana: if iran tries to hit israel right now it is basically using the money that the biden administration allowed them to have because of -- that's kind of an ironic situation. how important is it for israel now to have reestablished since october 7th for its own people and maybe even for the region to say they're superior in intelligence and in military capability because on october 7th -- october 8th that was in question. >> no doubt. that's a huge part of their ability to stave off enemies that surrounded them since their founding in the late 40s. so when they were caught off guard and looked small because of october 7th, and

their response was initially halting because of the hostage situation. what do you do? there are still almost 100 hostages in gaza. they have had to be careful how they do that. now these brilliant operations in lebanon totally decapitating that organization. and then their willingness to go further. you will see in response to this an even heavier response from israel, maybe even inside iran. i'm not making the case they should or should not. they need to do what they need to do to defend their own national interests. i think that's what netanyahu is very focused on. only when the countries around israel believe that israel is strong and willing to punch them in the mouth do they come to the bargaining table. that's when you saw the abraham accords. i think bibi hopes on the other side of this you have actually truly made iran a pariah to the extent to which you can reestablish the discussions over abraham accords extending towards saudi arabia as well.

>> bill: israel did not want to fight a multi-front war. i'm sure it's prepared for it. at least it's war gamed it out. when you have gaza to the south and you have hezbollah to the north and you've got the houthis way off the coast of saudi arabia and now maybe iran, that's a big challenge, pete, for bibi netanyahu and others. >> no doubt . i don't think iran wants that fight either, bill. i really don't. i think their response thus far has been a reflection of how knocked off their heels they really are. they spent decades building a base in hezbollah which over the course as you point out of ten days was effectively decimated. i think iran are the ones that don't want this war more than anything else. the harder israel strikes the more it reminds them of the cost they will pay up and to including their very leadership if they try to go at israel harder. that's why my guess is this will

be substantive at one level but mostly performtive. they don't want anymore. israel's offensive with hezbollah has sent a very big message. >> bill: good to have you on. thank you for being nimble on that as well. we'll talk again. thanks. >> dana: guess what? five weeks away today and there are certain population groups the candidate wants to secure. can kamala harris secure the youth vote like barack obama did 16 years ago? as we start breast cancer awareness month a new report especially young women, they need to hear it. stay tuned. we'll be right back. and now, get max strength topical pain relief precisely where you need it. with new tylenol precise. our story begins more than 65 years ago, inside an abandoned chicken coop. where our founder discovered a retired teacher living. no home. no health care. so she said no to this injustice and yes to transforming lives.

>> bill: tonight's vice presidential debate put a spotlight on governor walz's record as house republicans ramp up their investigation into his relationship with china. what gives there after a lot of trips? gillian turner has more from the state department. what's going on here? >> good morning, bill. house republicans investigation into governor tim walz's alleged ties to china is really intensifying now. what happens is oversight chairman james comer just subpoenaed the department of homeland security. they have a lot of records pertaining to walz and his history in the communist nation. a new whistleblower, a

longstanding connection between the ccp, the come communist party and walz. there is a classified and unclassified documents relating to those ties. comer is alleging that walz's 30 educational trips he has touted were paid for by the chinese government. even they, bill, are now in question. take a look at this. minnesota public radio is reporting walz was so proud of his extensive experience traveling to china he would occasionally exaggerate it by claiming he had visited the country more than he did. as for walz himself when it comes to china policy he has long advocated closer ties between the u.s. and mainland china. >> i don't fall into the category that china necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship. there are many areas of cooperation that we can work on. >> the trump-vance side of the

presidential ticket tells us they are drawing a stark contrast. listen to the former president. >> china respected us. i took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china. no other president took in not $0.10. for years they ripped us off. >> so walz's connection to the communist nation, his history of traveling there and advocacy work on their behalf is in the spotlight. all of it coming down on debate day. you can expect to hear a question about this tonight. >> bill: we'll stay tuned. gillian turner, state department. >> dana: today is october 1st and it is the beginning of breast cancer awareness month. there is conflicting news in the fight against breast cancer. a new study by the american cancer society that finds the risk for women under 50 is rising especially among younger women. but the good news is deaths are dropping. early detection is key. dr. marc siegel senior medical

analyst is with us now. so the good news is that we can detect it better and why is that? >> we can detect it better because we're looking earlier. there is more of a consensus that we should be starting at 40. doing more genetic analysis to see what is at risk and getting better at figuring out what the worry about and whether to follow it over time and the screening modalities are better. mammograms are getting better. everyone can't stand them but they help a lot and they've gotten more digital and more focused. ultrasound is useful and mri is getting better. this is the key headline. artificial intelligence is entering the foray now in a good way. every breast radiologist is for a.i. there is debate in medical circles not when it comes to radiology. a.i. is a tool. listen to this statistic.

a radiologist alone is accurate about 65% of the time. a.i. is accurate around 70% of the time. a.i. plus radiologist on breast cancer is over 80% of the time. it is combining the pilot and the co-pilot. >> dana: when you go for your mammogram you are asked to you want to add a.i.? most insurance companies, if you do have insurance, are willing to pay for that? >> well, that's also a work in progress. some are and some aren't. i predict in a year or two all will because they will see the results are better. one more thing our head of breast radiology said to me i don't care if a.i. replaces me or becomes more and more of a role. it has machine learning so in other words, it keeps accumulating images to refer to and we refer to those images, too. watch out, though, a.i. can make mistakes. it has to be a doctor involved. >> bill: interesting stuff. another topic quickly. stress in america is hitting

what they call peak level. i don't know what peak means. the stress stems from finances, economy, physical health. the survey of 2000 adults. you looked at it. what do you think? >> by the way, i would add to that election anxiety is a factor in over 20%. they said how many times a day do you swivel your head with stress? what an image that is. that was once every other day, 40% said they swiveled their head with stress. stress is increasing over 40%, 2000 people surveyed by a research company. it is people worried about the economy. you got it right the first time. people coming out of the pandemic are not back to their full lives yet. some are working remotely. some are worried about their jobs. not enough exercise going on. people not eating right. all of that and not sleeping right. all adds to stress. >> bill: how about all the news

>> bill: some are calling it the katrina of the mountains with resources running low and hundreds still missing. victims of helene just waking up to a nightmare that unfolds by the day. robert wray in asheville, north carolina. see workers behind you. so few of these reports have any people in them. is anybody left or have they all gotten out? >> well, this is just outside of asheville in the mai. i'm below street level right now, bill. this is a collapsed part of the

road here. there are many people that are still stuck in these mountain towns with no access out because of the no cell phone service and the power. i just want to show you this is the roadway. this is the collapsed part of the road and you look at this, the mud and all the water that came up from the river systems, vehicles that are destroyed and all around this area right now it is a fury of people trying to figure out how to get power back and how to get running water and get all of this debris with the roads that are collapsed at this point. hundred of people still unaccounted for. likely, we hope, because of the fact they cannot communicate. hopefully it does not have anything worse than that. we have the death count that just continues to go up in this area. unfortunately aid has been slow to come in. you just take a look at some of this right now. this roadway all compromised. this entire town was filled with

rushing water. they've never seen anything like it. historic scene here in western carolina as they continue to search for people. in fact, there were, we just witnessed it and trying to get the video uploaded, officials first responders were on the ground knocking on doors here trying to figure out if they were people still trapped or maybe even worse. bill. >> bill: robert, talk to you later in asheville, north carolina, robert wray. thank you. >> dana: coming to the rescue in areas devastated by hurricane helene is mercy chefs. a nonprofit preparing hot meals for thousands of families displaced across the south. we're fortunate to be joined by the founder and ceo gary leblanc. thank you for being here today. you said that you were going to -- yesterday you assessed the need. today you start making meals. can you describe the scope and scale of the need? >> well, it's unbelievable.

it is as close if not the worst we've seen. i have friends that are describing this as katrina in the mountains. they aren't wrong. local resources have been overwhelmed. they haven't broken down but overwhelmed. and so outside resources are getting here. we're finding conditions and need that is just completely unimaginable. >> dana: we'll put up on the screen for everyone to see some of the other hurricanes that you have helped with. there are many of them. how does this compare to others that you've seen? is it the worst? >> it's in the top three. [inaudible] and then this one was so unique. i'm standing 500 miles inland. it looks like we were just a few

miles inland from the coast. >> dana: wow. and when you think about the people that are, as robert wray was just describing, maybe they can't even get to you for help. is there anything that mercy chefs can do for them? >> we will be sending food out into communities around us and having distribution sites. hendersonville, pack mountain. but in addition to that we're working with some of our partners to bring in air assets so we can begin to helicopter in. we're seeing it is a helicopter ---the only way to get to show he some of these remote areas. >> dana: thank you so much for being here and we appreciate you. of course, as you can hear there is very little cell service there but able to get him on. he started during hurricane katrina and he volunteered in

new orleans and realized disaster food service could be done better. he is continuing to help thousands of people who are going to need it. >> bill: helene, to the middle east, to the port strike and tonight's debate. a big day packed with news and on throughout the day and evening hours to bring this to you. see how it goes between walz and vance. >> dana: coverage begins at 5:00 and we have brett and martha leading the coverage tonight and you'll see. i heard someone say today in a vice presidential debate not so much who wins it, it is who lose re loses it. maybe they will lose their temper. both of them good fighters for their candidates. >> bill: the debate with harris and trump had 67 million. i'm thinking there will be 40 million americans watching. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with breaking news. senior white hou
