high-profile figure. they are canvassing the entire area and pulling video and looking at subway records to see if there is any video or digital footprint in the subways. reportedly the guy fled on foot. other reporting he might have jumped onto a bicycle, which is difficult. a number of incidents like that in manhattan where the perp fled on a bike. you are independent of red lights and go anywhere. this will be a tough one. the other thing they'll do is look very deeply into the victim's history. >> bill: united healthcare is a huge company. i'm looking at some. consumer base is more than 50 million people, paul. you are a ceo of a company like this and you carry a lot of policy, you have a lot of history. we don't know what his specific history with united healthcare but a significant company.

the "new york post" is reporting is saying that thompson was at the hotel at 6:46 a m. arriving early for a conference. a mask man fired at him repeatedly and fled. beyond that there is not a lot of detail. >> yeah. it seems to indicate something that was planned and targeted. there is reporting that the perp may have been hanging around in front of the location for some time which argues that he knew who he was waiting for. he knew that person was going to be there. he must have known about the conference, reportedly it was an investors conference. at the same time again as they are looking around on the streets and through video, etc. , they are going to be scraping very hard at his life getting ahold of his loved ones, family, etc. to try to figure out did he have a dispute? talking to other people in the company. because as you say, very large company, an insurance company that potentially imports all

sorts of motives. we have to reserve judgment. right now we just don't know. that's what detectives are going to do is have an open mind but definitely following the route of a motive here. this does look very, very planned. obviously the shooter had a plan to get away. >> dana: paul, we'll let you go for a moment but i do wonder ceo at that level would they have had security of their own? the conference would have had security. a thought on that, paul? >> surprising because if you think about it, had he been getting threats or something like that he very well might have considered having security. but arriving that early for a conference looks like his guard was down. no report that anybody tried to return fire or get in the way. looks like he was taken unawares. >> dana: paul mauro, thank you for jumping on with us this morning and we'll get back to you as needed throughout the day. >> bill: we hear at 11:30 a.m. press conference on behalf of the nypd. we'll track it when it begins.

>> dana: fox news alert. a high-profile case getting underway before the supreme court involving a state law banning transgender miffed call treatments for minors. one of the most closely watched cases on the court's calendar. i'm dana perino. >> bill: busy here and we'll cover it together. good morning, at home. oral arguments starting in the high court when the u.s. security hears an equal protection challenge to a law that bans sex reassignment treatments for children in tennessee. this is one of about two dozen states with similar measures. but it is the first time the supreme court will consider restrictions on puberty blockers, hormone therapy and sex change surgery for minors. >> dana: detransitioning chloe coal pointed out the potential for long-term harm with a warning for parents.

>> i went through a medical gender transition when i was a child between 12 and 16. this medical ideology was something that consumed most of my adolescent formative years. for the parents on the fence about this, i tell them that puberty is not negotiable for their children. it is the only choice that a child has is to grow up with their body fully intact. >> bill: justice department correspondent david spunt leads off this hour on what is before the nine supreme courts. >> the first time the justices will consider the continue alt of state efforts to regulate sex reassignment treatments for minors. puberty blockers and other hor hormone therapys. in 2023, bill, donald trump's

campaign promised to ban treatment for adolescents nationally while banning medicare and medicaid insurance for such care. groups for and against the law are outside the supreme court this morning for arguments. they have been for several hours. this case will really have national implications. far beyond the tennessee borders. this will have a broad effect in all 50 states and go past the walls of a medical facility. talking about transgender protections in sports and access to bathrooms of their choice. lgbtq groups have eyes on president biden in his final weeks in office to see if he will issue an executive order or blanket protection that does not involve what is a fractured congress. the white house touted his work with the lgtbq community in the past. some are worried. three trump appointed justices are on the high court. arguments probably last 90 minutes with a decision from the

court likely later in the spring. >> bill: david spunt setting the table at d.o.j. thank you for that. >> dana: more on this. karrie, in some ways you think it is an easy case to explain. i started reading deeper into it and the different precedents and arguments. believe it or not the u.s. will argue to the supreme court on wednesday that the 14th amendment means a state cannot ban transgender hormone regimens for adolescents. perhaps that sounds like jabber but the implications are serious about this case. what is the law that they are trying to deal with here? >> so at one level is this good policy? tennessee has taken, as have many states taken a lot of the international consensus shifting away from pediatric use of cross

section hormones and saying there is a lot of this cardio vascular side effect. increased cancer risk and osteoporosis. you can agree or disagree on one level. the question -- that's not the question for the court. the question for the court is does the constitution even allow those policy judgments to be made by the state? does the 14th amendment, which it says guarantees the right to equal protection of the laws and so obviously in the context of the civil war after it was passed has to do particularly with race. we want equal protection of the law and expanded to include other areas. does that mean you cannot protect children in the state from drugs that again there is a growing consensus that there may be reason to wait on these? and it would create a whole new category. constitutional category of transgenderism. it is a gigantic thing.

>> bill: here is a map. 23 states have a law banning it. arkansas, montana blocked, new hampshire is set to take effect. i don't know if this is a biological question before the supremes or if they dare to venture into this area. if you talk about minors and 18 years or younger, do they have to consider whether or not it is too late after the age of 18 for reassignment? >> certainly that's one of the things that the solicitor general and aclu are arguing we have to provide the treatment at the early time. the challenge is it also is an irreversible treatment. a lot of things we don't allow minors to decide that would have irreversible effects on them. while they are claiming this is necessary, you have groups that like a major swedeish pediatric transgender clinic in 2021

actually completely reversed course on these cross section hormones saying the side effects and the real uncertainty as to whether the benefits are even there really made them stop. this is something where yeah, there will be long-term impacts biologically one way or the other. a lot of people who later in life like chloe cole who was on earlier may choose to transition and they are faced with infertility and life long medical problems stemming from the use of those hormones. so i think the challenge is it's time sensitive either way. the question is simply whether the states actually have the authority to make that call. you know, again it's a scientific call. they have medical boards in those states. are they allowed constitutionally to make that call. that part is actually an easy question. clearly the constitution itself doesn't speak to whether transgender kids need to have hormones allowed and states can't make that decision that

it's safer to wait. >> dana: one of the things i read was that at least i believe the biden administration is using the dobbs decision or maybe the other way around. i find the precedent to all of this is confusing. i don't think it's confusing should parents or states be allowed. i found that kind of interesting. i'm curious about the supreme court and its current makeup. is this an easy call for the nine of them to make? does it break down along ideological lines? >> well, you know, arguments just started. i think we'll have a better sense after they hear them. knowing that most of the court consists of originalists it is hard to make the case that in 1865 what those people rat filing the 14th amendment thought it would encompass something as broad as saying transgenderism is a protected class and we can't -- we can't have laws that might say again

-- this is not outlawing the procedures but limiting them for minors. a hard sell to the majority of the court. will it break down on party lines? it may. it very likely will. we've seen that happen a lot of top issue cases. and we know that three liberals on the court don't have the same value for looking at the original meaning. it wouldn't be surprising if they might look to policy considerations as they sometimes do rather than the text of the constitution itself. >> bill: thick stuff. thank you for coming on. an openly transgender man arguing the case before the court. >> dana: the first. >> bill: nice to see you today. 11 past the hour now waiting on a press conference from the new york police department. nypd will tell us more about a major american ceo shot in cold blood before the sun came up in

manhattan earlier today. gunman on the run. awaiting the press conference. we'll bring it to you when it begins. >> dana: a jury still deciding his fate. deliberations in the daniel penny case continue and we're live outside the courthouse next. a healthy weight can help dogs live a longer and happier life. the farmer's dog makes weight management easy with fresh food pre-portioned for your dog's needs. it's an idea whose time has come. veteran homeowners, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans.

>> bill: we're following a story that appears to be a major hit job on an american businessman, 50, leading united healthcare. shot before the sun came out in midtown manhattans. eric adams is at a different event. if he takes questions we'll let you know what is happening. nypd has a press conference in an hour. it's early . we'll find out together. >> dana: jury deliberations continue in the trial of daniel penny.

jurors will determine whether he recklessly killed a homeless man menacing passengers on a new york city subway. he faces up to 15 years in prison if found guilty of manslaughter. cb cotton has been following the story every day and is live outside the courthouse. good morning, cb. >> good morning. jurors just arrived moments ago. they deliberated for less than four hours yesterday and they asked the judge to reread his instructions on how the law applies to the crime and details on the justified use of force. jurors have been told to find penny guilty on the most serious charge, second degree manslaughter, they have to believe the prosecution has proven three things. that penny caused the death of jordan neely, did so recklessly, and was not justified. during closing arguments prosecutors said common sense tells you that neely died of that choke hold and they told jurors even if they think penny started out to protect other

subway riders, good intentions can turn bad. defense said during its closing that prosecutors had not proven that penny, quote, squeezed the life out of neely. instead they argue penny used his military training in a less aggressive manner. and reminded jurors several eyewitnesses were thankful. the army national guard -- they are warning this case will scare people into inaction. >> this is going to have farther reaching consequences. there are good samaritan laws that protect people and i think a lot of people are going to wonder if their local prosecutor if they're in a deep blue state will throw that aside and prosecute them anyway for doing the right thing. >> while penny could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted

on the top charge, there is no minimum sentence. dana. >> dana: keep us posted. you know i'm obsessed with that case. thank you. >> bill: now elon musk and vivek ramaswamy getting ready to rein in federal spending set to meet with republican lawmakers tomorrow to talk about plans for the department of government efficiency, known as doge. david, thanks for your time. joni ernst will help lead the meeting tomorrow and she said this two days ago. >> we have a lot of waste that exists in the federal government and that's why i am so excited that after ten years of working on government waste and abuse, we finally have a dedicated department now within the incoming administration to work on this waste and make sure that we're protecting our american taxpayer dollars.

>> bill: for those cheering that idea on the senate side. house side speaker johnson said i'm on board, too. my question to you is, is it really finally going to happen? >> well, i sure hope so. you have to remember that doge, if you are following the doge on x they post about all these opportunities to cut spending and those are great. it's not just the only definition of efficiency. all the bureaucratic government institutions and they need to figure out ways to make things more efficient, make processes simpler. it is painful to do business with the government. they are building an army software engineers to go into different places and make things better and calling software engineers asking them to join the government to fix things. my view is we know how much our taxes are and how much we're owed and refund should be. why don't i get a text message press one to confirm: we need

people writing the software in the government and making things more efficient i'm a believer. >> dana: you have people on your team that are wanting them to work on doge. one of the things that you had said before that is great is something national review wrote also. doge brings the x-factor and will be successful. musk is making government reform cool again. a few years ago there were employees at google who said we don't want to work with the united states anymore. we don't want to work with the pentagon or the defense department. that's changing and that is encouraging. what do you hear? >> the project maven issue at google. they want to support american dynamism and making sure it is the safest and best country with the best capabilities. we're at a transformational moment with a.i. to incorporate new technologies to make things better and more efficient. a lot of engineers out there optimizing ad clicks would rather build for the country,

their own companies and the true capitalist dream or joining the government to make a difference. >> bill: what is the low-hanging fruit that you think? what's the obvious that republicans and democrats can both say let's do that? >> i think there is a bunch of opportunities. we have to rebuild our defense industrial base. we know defense is the thing that allows us to protect superiority around the world and incredible deterrent. the gap that we have is narrowing. a lot of people out there want to build better defense products using new capabilities. i'm sure when you have outsiders coming in like elon and vivek and they are looking at all these different bureaucracies across the government they will find a bunch of low hanging fruit. it might all be low hanging fruit. >> dana: i think we can show a picture on the hill they're not wasting time. mike johnson is addressing his conference now on the republican side of things and as bill said he said he is on board.

this also is from a student in the "wall street journal" today about a.i. and automation of work saying a.i. has the power to turn gen z workers in powerhouses or render them obsolete. the choice is clear, a.i. must empower, not replace. is that something that doge would work on? or even bigger picture for you that you think about humans and working and what young people should be trying to do so that they don't find themselves without a job? >> there are so many opportunities where new jobs will be created. so many problems we have today that a.i. will solve. take 911. when people call 91 if they don't speak english they have to wait for an operateer. a.i. can be realtime translation. one aspect of public safety in a huge sea of opportunities. same true in defense and energy, manufacturing, industrial and material sciences. there will be no shortage of jobs for people to do. not everyone might get the

expensive four year degree. they might get manufacturing jobs that pay well and really satisfying with great work/life balance. a.i. won't replace a lot of those jobs. any technological revolution will create more jobs and more demand. >> bill: expiration date is july of 2026. move fast. the milk carton will expire. >> move fast. >> bill: great to see you again. >> dana: thank you for being on our show. >> bill: you mentioned mike johnson talking on the hill. we're listening for news from there. the transition period that is underway in american politics is extraordinary. it is every four years. perhaps more so this time. >> dana: feels like it. >> bill: to me as well it does. >> dana: part of the reason is joe biden and kamala harris are nowhere to be seen. it's like president trump is president already even though

that's technically not true obviously. >> bill: as you said 90 minutes ago, it seems like biden has cedeed the political ground to donald trump. >> dana: yep. he was saved by the trumpets yesterday in angola. >> bill: mike johnson continues on the hill. >> dana: aishah hosni is paying attention to all of this. she has more. >> good morning to you. all eyes on the hill are on the senate side where defense secretary nominee pete hegseth is making the rounds taking critical meetings with senators. everyone is watching to see what happens with him. multiple sources are confirming to fox news that the president-elect, president-elect trump is now considering replacing hegseth with florida governor ron desantis. we're told that the two men talked about this in person at that memorial service in florida yesterday. it comes as hegseth is facing really intense scrutiny over

accusations of sexual assault, drinking problem. both things he denies and also saying that women should not face combat. hegseth for his part on his way to a meeting with roger wicker just told reporters that he spoke to trump this morning and he is not withdrawing his name. watch. >> have you had any conversations with president-elect trump -- [inaudible]? >> i spoke to the president-elect this morning. he said keep going. keep fighting. find your own way. >> you are in this all the way? >> [inaudible] >> you are not withdrawing your name? >> meeting with the senators. >> hegseth is meeting with roger wicker, chairman of the armed services committee. a vote he has to secure and meet with senator joni ernst, another

critical vote. she is a combat veteran and sexual assault survivor and watching the hill for trump's epa nominee lee zeldin on the hill today. pam bondi, linda mcmahon and we expect scott bessent as well this week. back here live we're waiting to see what happens with the pete hegseth nomination. we're hearing a lot of things from different camps and so things could drastically change here in the next couple moments. we'll be watching it. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: thanks. 27 past. waiting on a press conference in new york. police will brief in 60 minutes from now. american ceo shot and killed on a new york street today. the gunman is on the loose, unaccounted for. manhunt underway. a lot of details to be filled in on this story. the closely-watched case before the u.s. supreme court being argued as we speak. justices hearing arguments whether or not states have the

right to ban transgender treatments for those under the age of 18. hehe. chris! keke! ready tycoons? it's go time! cash grab! keke, i won again? ow! daddy will be back soon. [cries] -ha ha! -boom! we're swimming in it now. -rent's due. -toodle-oo! busted! nothing beats playing with friends, except bankrupting friends. when you're in the military you're really close with your brothers and your sisters that are in the military with you. and when you get out of the military, you kind of lose that until you find a new family. we can talk about our struggles and the things that we did overseas and not everybody can do that. adam! how's it going, brother? we live pretty close to each other. so he's always coming over. when i go to jack's house, we watch a lot of football, hang out.

we go outside the friendship has kind of grown into a family i was overseas on a deployment. i got separated from my marines and i got hit in the neck, and it broke my neck and paralyzed me. 14 years ago, i was on a training mission. did a military freefall, and i had some faulty equipment. i hit the ground. going, 30 to 40 knots and was instantly paralyzed. i met jack fanning when he invited us to park city, utah, through his foundation. i was able to actually get on the mountain and ski with my family, i can't put into words what that meant. i got paid in the military to do crazy fun stuff. and after my accident, i'm still that same guy. and when i was able to jump out of a perfectly good, helicopter, at 10,000 feet, i did it.

i was talking to some vets last week amazing how we have these houses where they can come over because they■re in chairs too. carpet and wheelchairs don't mix very well. tunnel to towers, they got rid of all that. they redid my whole bathroom. that's probably the favorite part of my house. i thought they were just going to do the upgrades. but the surprise to me was they paid off the entire mortgage. when they told me they're going to pay off my mortgage, i cried. please contribute $11 a month by visiting t2t.org now

>> dana: welcome back. fox news alert about a deadly scene in midtown manhattan. a shooting of the united healthcare ceo. he is dead this morning. it happened at 6:46 a.m. the shooter -- alleged shooter is on the run. alexis mcadams is down there and let's check in with her. hi. >> we're about 60 minutes out now from an update from the nypd after a ceo who was just in town for a big business meeting was shot and killed right outside of that hotel just over my shoulder here in midtown manhattan. step out of the way to get a closer look what we're seeing on the ground. his photo is what we're showing on the screen. this is developing. the ceo of united healthcare's insurance division was shot and killed just earlier this morning outside of that hilton hotel in

midtown. we're talking about brian thompson, only 50 years old. he was outside of that hotel around 6:45 this morning heading to a conference when somebody shot him not once, but twice. this is what we're trying to figure out right now. exactly if this was a targeted attack. i just got off the phone with an nypd source and telling me it is one thing very certain at this point in the investigation. they think this was a possible hit job. they said there was a person outside just across the street from the hilton hotel in mid town manhattan who had a mask and hat on and gloves on. as soon as he spotted the 50-year-old near that hilton behind me he opened fire. we've been trying to talk with people here. a busy time in new york city. one of the busiest times to visit the big apple during the holidays. the rockefeller tree lighting is tonight and people are on edge. watch. >> it's always disconcerting

when there is -- we just came from a tour in europe. every big city has their own issues. it got a huge police response. it seemed more than random only in the sense the guy ran off in a black mask and had a backpack. it sounds like it might have been premeditated. >> officials tell us no arrests have been made. that's something we're trying to figure out here at this time. who they are looking for we don't have a great description. just a masked man with gloves on who walked right outside here in mid town manhattan and fired as soon as he saw that ceo. he was rushed to a hospital. they tried to save his life. they are also trying to contact his family. he lives in minnesota and just in town in new york city for business. but he didn't make it. now there is a manhunt underway in mid town manhattan. i will keep you updated with the latest as i get it. >> dana: let's go to bill with the map and show people where it happened. >> everybody watching this right

now knows these landmarks. it is clear. this is central park right here, southern end, 59th street. this is 5th avenue that runs south. 6th avenue that runs north. 7th avenue that runs south. if you were watching here that's the beginning of times square. the northern edge of times square. this is where the killing took place. and right across the street here is rockefeller center and nbc and that's where you have upwards of a million people gather tonight to watch the christmas tree lighting of the our headquarters is further south like one block south of this location here. we were watching unfold almost in realtime this morning when you had dozens of police cars report at 6:45 a.m. paul mauro is working his sources. the heart of manhattan. midtown where the buzz is every day, paul. what are folks telling you right now about the whereabouts of this killer? >> like alexis there doesn't seem to be a lot of information right now.

we're waiting for the press conference. one of the things i'm hoping we'll see at the press conference at this point is maybe release of an image. right now at the street level irrespective what's going on behind the scenes. at the street level what they'll try to get out hopefully here is some image that somebody might recognize as this guy fled on the bike. whether they recognized the bike, something he was wearing or a witness who just saw somebody fleeing at a high rate of speed. i'm reminded of an incident at the military recruiting center. a low level bomb set off. a political statement. i was among others who worked that case and because of the bicycle and the quick egress that case was never solved. a lot more video now. detectives almost certainly are going street to street to see if they can leapfrog to get the pattern of flight where he might have gone and we're assuming it

is a he. maybe a she. we don't know. at the street level right now this is a tough one. bicycle in mid town makes things quite challenging. >> dana: i imagine nypd is trying to get in touch with the company and maybe even the family to find out have there been threats to his life. >> you certainly have to admit that possibility. the insurance issue. obviously it raises all kinds of questions. it does look like the shooter didn't hesitate. according to the reporting as soon as he acquired mr. thompson as the target he started shooting right away. it raises all those questions. and then you have to ask is the gun at the scene, did he leave the scene? they look under every car or garbage can to see if the gun might be there. according to reporting unfortunately he expired at the hospital but he was alive when the ambulance showed up. did he make a statement? was there something that he said

before he expired that may lead to somebody presumably if it was a threat he would be the person in the best position to know. all of these things are being plumbed right now. we'll know a lot more at the press conference or not. so that is the situation right now. i would expect an image to be released in hopes that somebody saw this. 6:45 in the morning. still manhattan and busy. not that busy. maybe somebody saw something. >> dana: not that bright out at that time in the morning. >> bill: sun is just coming up. the hotel is one of those mammoth hotels in new york. >> dana: you can't understand how many rooms. gigantic. >> bill: seems like you walk for miles once you're inside. john roberts, this is where trump came out at 4:00 in the morning in november of 2016. also where they just held a month ago, two months ago the alfred smith dinner to benefit the local archdiocese in new york. the dinner that kamala harris skipped and donald trump showed

up and when he told new york's mayor he said, you know, you turned on the federal government. you better look out. the whole immigration things. eric adams hasn't looked back since then. a massive hotel. this took place outside. paul, i want to know whether he took off on his own bike or whether he used one of these new city bikes where you can put a credit card in and just scatter. >> right. they will be looking at that. there will be video of him. one thing about midtown manhattan there are 20 video cameras per block. that will be a data point they can pull if it is a city bike, then you can't access that system. the same thing that goes for the subway. various ways to do digital stuff relative to the subways and doing some of the stuff we've heard about in other cases, bill. going back to things like idaho and murdoch case looking at

digital footprints. if they don't have a street level lead. it will be resolved. they'll look very hard at his life and if i had to guess, the lead that resolves this will come out of some background they get relative to his communications, phones, emails, etc. a large company and that's not necessarily going to be a quick and easy solve. >> bill: thanks, paul. stay on it and we'll wait for the press conference 50 minutes from now. >> dana: we'll get you to this. chicago resident outrage at the city's handling of the migrant crisis. mayor johnson says he doesn't see the problem. now a battle over the city budget could be the breaking point. >> here you are with a tax hike trying to push the have nots to vess and illegal immigrants. you told trump you aren't going to bliefrng. we aren't either. >> you are going down in history as the worst mayor in america.

and when the stock market crashes and it does from time to time, our clients are protected against losses. literally, they go up with the market, lock in their gains, and when the market goes down, they don't lose anything. we keep it simple. our clients earn in a reasonable rate of return and they don't lose money. if you have at least $100,000 to invest, get your investor's guide and see if it's right for you. speaker 1: at st. jude, there's one thing that makes us all family-- finding cures, saving children. speaker 2: in this family, families never receive a bill from st. jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. speaker 3: one in five kids in the us still won't survive cancer. speaker 4: in this family, we won't stop until no child dies from cancer. speaker 2: this holiday season, join our st. jude family. we need you. please donate now.

>> what we did was took this crisis, managed it and guess what we did? we did what chicagoans do. we built a single shelter one system with the state of illinois and the city of chicago coming together to build a

system to respond to homelessness. we did not allow a crisis to break us. we took the crisis and we allowed it to build us. >> bill: you have a big story happening in chicago. i don't know how they'll dig their way out of it. mayor johnson is defending himself insisting the city is thriving. a major migrant situation involving a lot of money. homelessness and crime plaguing the streets of chicago. gentlemen, good morning to both of you. to be fair, brandon johnson ran as a progressive. and chicago voted for him. now the people there are up in arms. a little bit from just this week. check it out. >> the mayor is embarrassing around the world and you all took the power back from him to say the city of chicago is out of the business of funding illegals. we are out of the business of prioritizing non-american

citizens on top of the american citizens who go out in this cold weather every day to make money to pay their taxes. >> bill: that was one sound bite. we could run many at the moment. >> citizens of chicago are speaking from their heart. you have joe biden giving away a billion dollars to angola and chicago is falling apart. the citizens dealing with overcrowding. they don't get the social services, crime is off the charts and you have a mayor saying we're building. it is great. it's not. their football team is bad, the city is bad and they have to change things. >> dana: everyone is in a bad mood. they have a multitude of problems. i'ous why a mayor who went to washington and went to meet with biden to say please help us, we need help with this migrant crisis and not given any help at all isn't taking a new president up on the offer? >> that's a very good question. why wouldn't you at least -- political opportunity for you to off load this on donald trump and say and be able to be critical of donald trump as he

solves the problem for you. the migrant crisis. it seems to be the point of entry which people can begin to talk about what the real problems are in chicago. $5 hundred million going to this liability is a serious issue. but it is nothing, pales in comparison to the tens of billions of dollars public liabilities that the city just cannot fund. 26% funding for $32 billion in debt. water, transit, pensions that brandon johnson qualifies for to the tune of seven figures because he is a former educator. people like those things. it is easier to talk about the stuff people don't like. >> bill: you have new york, denver, chicago the leading three sisters who have taken in the most number of migrants. watch this story. run a number of sound clips from people coming out every day. let's get to the resistance.

ja jamie raskin. >> the maryland representing is challenging the house democrat in the house judiciary committee he promised to make the headquarters of congressional opposition to authoritarianism. the resistance might be taking a nap at the moment. >> it's the power of the gavel. fortunately republicans by the hair of their chin are holding onto that gavel because in the minority you can just flail. that's about all you can do. go ahead and put -- talk about aoc trying to do the oversight. these are just not smart people who they hyperventilate but they don't actually make good arguments like a steve lynch out of massachusetts. thank goodness they won't put him in. that's all they will do a flail. remember, they choose in the house of representatives, democrats choose based on seniority. republicans choose. i became a chairman after three terms based on merit. you have to get a vote of your

colleagues to get it. not the way democrats do it. it is based on seniority. >> dana: a generational change. raskin is saying nadler you aren't good enough at this job and he wants a shot at it. >> a lot of shots at jerry nadler as being unable to navigate the environment he is in. younger generational talent would help. it doesn't hurt. raskin seems to be offering here among others as jason said the opportunity to a catharsis. that won't help anything. resistance such as it is seems like an exhausted intellectual project and needs new vigor. i don't think youth will do it. it needs new ideas. >> dana: it might need balance of nature. there we go. i bring it full circle. that's what i aim to do. >> bill: thank you both. come back soon, all right? was there a covid cover-up and

justice and decide if there are further actions to be taken. >> can you name drop anybody? >> i think that's a good place to start. >> republicans on the panel see peter das correct of echo health used taxpayer dollars and david moreins, an advisor to fauci >> the person who was trying to do a good job was tony fauci. >> fauci says he told the truth. >> the second issue is a false accusation that i tried to cover up the possibility the virus originated from a lab. in fact, the truth is exactly the opposite. >> republicans also say science did not support wearing masks nor six feet of social
