flow of natural gas to the northeast. bill. >> bill: kelly. thanks, stay on it in chicago. midwest. here we go. thank you. >> we are oy not here to play games. every officer that partners with us we respect you and honor the work that you do and take care of your family and you and go after those that threaten your lives by leaking this type of information. >> dana: homeland security with a stern warning against ice leakers. this as we learn about alarming new obstacles agents are facing as immigration activists post flyers that could threaten the safety of law enforcement conducting ice operations around los angeles and puts a target on their backs. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: bill hemmer. new hour now. federal officials vowing to investigate those responsible.

the flyers show the personal information of ice agents. the names, faces, phone numbers, despite resistance from activists in some areas, ice is pushing forward with their work across the country going after violent criminal migrants. >> dana: just yesterday a major operation near houston swept up several immigrants including child predators. more from texas in a moment. let's get to jonathan hunt starting us off knew l.a. >> frustration as seeing operational plans leaked and operations themselves disrupted by activists shouting warnings to potential targets of raids. but now there is outright anger prompted by the posting of flyers like this revealing the identities of some of the agents involved and reading in part these armed agents work in southern california.

ice and hsi racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies and kidnap people from their homes and from the streets separating families and fracturing communities. department of homeland security spokesman tells fox quote, these pathetic activists are putting targets on the backs of our law enforcement as they shield ms-13, tren de aragua and other vicious gangs that traffic women and children. kidnap and poison americans with lethal drugs. protestors in the los angeles area and at this leaked and failed ice raid in aurora, colorado have been showing up during ice operations shouting warnings and instructions to anyone who might be targeted. the activists say they do not physically interfere with the agents and as such are simply exercising their rights to free speech and doing nothing

illegal. f.b.i. spokesman acknowledged the activists rights to assembly and free speech but told us anyone who impedes law enforcement operations could be subject to potential prosecution. dana. >> dana: jonathan hunt. thank you. >> bill: in texas you have a major bust just outside of houston. 90 illegal immigrants arrested as the border czar tom homan witnessed the raid firsthand. brooke taylor has the follow-up. what happened? >> this is one of the largest operations we have seen yet with border czar tom homan telling fox first that around 90 illegal migrants were arrested. the colony ridge area right outside of houston. a largely hispanic development. officials say hsi along with other officers targeted criminal and illegal migrants early monday morning. border czar tom homan joined that operation. he tells me it was phase one of

a larger criminal investigation and that a majority of thieves arrested were criminal migrants. we were waiting on a breakdown already. some had warrants and arrested at work sites and others captured on camera getting arrested during traffic stops conducted by dps. >> something different today. a larger criminal investigation into a network and a lot of the people we were interested in were located in that area. know for a fact there were several sexual predators. child predators that were arrested for sexual misconduct with a child. several of them. one was convicted of homicide or murder. >> ice just sent me this. among those arrested a three-time previously deported criminal illegal alien from el salvador. ice tells me he had a criminal arrest warrant for alleged

repeated abuse of a minor. now border czar tom homan tells me his priority now going after those criminal illegal migrants, those who are national security threat. he said he has made it clear. if you are in the country illegally you are not off the table. meanwhile we did reach out to colony ridge. the ceo tells me he is in full support of this operation, bill. >> bill: thanks, brooke taylor in houston on that. thank you. laura ingraham goes inside gitmo where some migrants have been held as part of president trump's immigration crackdown. she will join the defense secretary pete hegseth there who used to patrol on guard at gitmo. exclusive look at the center airing tomorrow on the ingraham angle at 7:00 eastern time. check it out. >> president trump: i think it will end soon. within weeks. if we're smart. if we're not smart, it will keep going and we'll keep losing

young, beautiful people that shouldn't be dying. >> president trump expressed confidence this war could in reality end in a few weeks. do you share that confidence? >> i hope so. the arrival of president trump is a game changer. and i think he has the capacity of the u.s. to reengage with russia. so i think it is feasible. >> dana: president trump and french president macron met yesterday at the white house hopeful for an ending to the ukraine conflict soon. bret baier had that exclusive and extensive interview with macron yesterday. he said security guarantees would be needed and get your reaction. >> my message was to say be careful because we need something substantial for the security of europe and france and ukraine. let's work together on the future of the security guarantees to make sure this

peace will be respected by russia. >> dana: a few hours after digesting all that information in that long and good interview, what do you think? >> good morning. i think there was a lot of confidence that came out of the french president. as i met with him both on camera and what he said off camera i came away from the meeting with president trump encouraged. the big hinge is the security guarantee. he is committing french peacekeeping troops. i think the u.k. prime minister is coming thursday to meet with president trump. i think that's going to materialize. the big question is what the u.s. security guarantee for ukraine would be. from everything i can divine from what he said and what said it is a backup. to have u.s. companies and people on the ground that is a positive to deter any action by

russia. but also as a backup to those peacekeeping troops on the ground. we'll have to see what the details are. he came away encouraged. >> bill: he insists you cannot think that russia won this war. you have to have a back stop for ukraine. that was one of his main messages. do you get the sense that both sides were ready for this point, russia and ukraine? or do we really think it was like trump that put them together? >> i think it was a combination of both those things. there was this exhaustion of this three-year war but all sides agree it is only president trump can get all sides to the table. so to macron's point he was a game changer. i do think there were a little hard feelings about what happened at the united nations yesterday with that u.s. vote not to call russia the aggressor or invadeor or however it was

being phrased. it didn't really sit well in europe and didn't sit well in kiev. but i don't think it is going to stop that rare earth minerals deal. that's what i'm hearing right now. >> dana: also i wanted to ask you about this. tariffs are on the table. macron had something to say about that yesterday, too. >> the solution is not to increase tariffs. why? the emergency is to increase our defense and security expenses. how do you want us to increase those if we are in a trade war? >> dana: i really think we should change our pronunciation to tariffs. it sounds better. do you think he will get anywhere with president trump with that argument? >> this is a tough one. i think president trump is dug in on reciprocal tariff. they say they don't tariff but it is how you look at different goods and what exactly happens in france and in europe more broadly in the e.u. and it may

be not a specific france but more an e.u. back and forth. i think the president is pretty dug in on that and as is his commerce secretary lutnick. france is only spending 2% of its gdp on national defense. the president wants it to go up to 5%. yesterday president macron said they need to do more. they are on the low end of supporting ukraine dollar-wise. so that's all part of it. at home macron is facing a serious economic crisis and the political crisis as his coalition is very shaky. >> bill: how many times did these guys shake hands yesterday? >> a lot. it was a tug-of-war. >> bill: i thought they would break out rock, paper, scissors. maybe next time. well done, nice to see you. >> dana: see you tonight at 6:00. >> we have to do the thing right. not just about the deficit.

policies, procedures and the government we deserve. >> dana: amid the uproar over doge. >> bill: a measles outbreak exploding in places like texas and new mexico. how should the administration respond? what do you need to know? dr. marc siegel has answers. >> dana: are you tired of playing top dollar for eggs? consider renting your own chickens. we'll show you how it works. ♪

>> dana: americans growing desperate for eggs as prices climb and grocery shelves go

bare. shoppers are scramble for a solution. jeff flock is in a flock in pennsylvania. >> i'm going right to the source. don't bother going to the grocery store when you can get the eggs yourself. this is something called rent the chicken. look what they do. this is homestead phil who runs the company. business is booming. people are renting the coop, renting the chickens and you got eggs forever. >> absolutely. this is a way to avoid no eggs being at the grocery store. i roll the coop into your backyard. i bring the chickens, feed and supplies. >> the business started when people were concerned about prices. if you put up the number we're over $8.50 a dozen. now people -- i don't know that you save money doing this but you always have eggs. show me the coop real quick. >> take a look. with this design, it can go to

the backyard. we provide the coop. our starting price point is $5 hundred. we can deliver from los angeles to new york city, nashville. all over the country. >> let's go -- no audio. >> dana: all right. no. >> let's see where the eggs are. yes. they just laid eggs. >> dana: we don't have a great shot for those chickens. i'm intrigued by the rent a chicken and see if we can get him back up. bill hemmer. you're next. >> i think it will spread. there has been 100 cases identified so far. probably many more than that. i think this will get into the hundreds of cases and take many months to snuff out. when you have that kind of concentration of measles within a community it will spread outside that community. >> bill: that's the former fda

commissioner from all the interviews he did during covid. the measles outbreak could spread. 100 cases reported in texas and new mexico putting the hhs secretary robert kennedy just on the job now on the spot for the first time in that new role. dr. marc siegel, fox news senior medical analyst. good morning to you. i found some things this morning about measles i didn't realize. measles is the most dangerous to children under the age of five. put it on screen, guys, can cause fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, two or three days after symptoms begin tiny white spots may appear inside the month. three to five days measles rash appears as flat red spots appear there. there is no specific cure or treatment for measles. what do we need to know? >> i will amend a little of that. first of all ten to 14 days before you know you have it.

unfortunately if you are exposed to it you can get it and not know it especially if you are unvaccinated. if you walk into a room where measles was two hours ago and you are unvaccinated, there is a 90% chance you'll get it. you said there is no treatment. there are a lot of studies that show that vitamin a helps. if you take vitamin a if you have measles. the best thing to do for measles is vaccinate. that vaccine if you take both doses as a child is 97% effective. in gaines county where this has started we're only having an 80% uptick of that vaccine because of all the exceptions and more laws have been passed in the state of texas and they are about to be passed allowing more and more exceptions. there has been question about why governor abbott isn't coming forward because again, this is like kindl. if you are unvaccinated. measles leads to hospitalizations, about one out of ten times.

if you get measles and you aren't vaccinated a risk of measles pneumonia. 16 of 90 cases in texas are in the hospital now and hitting over 100 cases and seeing outbreaks at two universities in texas, that's the latest including the university of texas in san antonio. it has gone across the border into new mexico. this is not going to be stopped without the vaccine. >> bill: another thing. the united states declared measles eliminated 25 years ago. that was in the year 2000, meaning the disease had not spread domestically for more than 12 months. the type of thing that can easily cross borders here and anywhere around the world. >> yeah. in europe they are having a big problem again. 40,000 cases last year. here in the united states we had about 260 last year. we'll see a lot more this year. look, bill, vaccine confidence is at an all-time low.

we know why. vaccines were pushed on people. what i do is i have a conversation with people in my office and i explain what vaccines are for, how they work, why we need them the way i just did. we have to meet people where they live. that's the way back to vaccine confidence. >> bill: you mentioned a few of these. i will put it on screen. you are at 92.7% for kindergartners there. what can help fight it off? sandwich, spinach, cantaloupe, mangos, appearry cots. you mentioned the vaccination as well. quickly -- >> and vitamin a. that's true in the whole state of texas. the urban areas have a better uptick of the vaccine. all those foods are good for you. >> bill: gottlieb was talking about states below 90%.

autism. questions what is causing the jump in diagnosis over 20 years. one in 50 in 2000. one in 36 now. >> more people looking out for this, more advocacy groups on more diagnosis. all of that is true. i think it is the environment. i do agree there is something in the environment whether it's pesticides or chemicals or people smoking still or obesity or diabetes. all of this has been linked to autism. my message today is i think we have to look womb. i think it's pregnant women with a pre-disposition because of genetic factors that may get some tox-in that affects them while pregnant and why i say that and not looking at vaccines anymore. it has been studied in millions of kids. because neuro imaging studies, bill, a study recently out of harvard is starting to show

those brain changes we see with autism in kids in the womb. what are pregnant women exposed to? >> bill: maybe that's the next chapter in the story. thank you, marc siegel with a house call. >> dana: the school of woke. democrats in maryland pushing for contraceptives to be in school vending machines. workers need to answer what did you do last week for doge. >> i have absolutely no heartburn laying out the five things i did yesterday. let alone last week or month. the fact is that the american people are due this type of service by the federal government.

>> dana: the government accountability office just releasing a new report identifying federal programs most vulnerable to waste, fraud and abuse. that's a subject of a house

oversight hearing scheduled for 1:00 p.m. today. mark meredith has more from capitol hill. hi, mark. >> the gao sends reports to new conscious where they think taxpayer money is vanishing or abused. the report came out moments ago showing americans have plenty to be concerned about. gao looking at the federal government identifying 38 areas where taxpayers can save money and root out fraud. among suggestions adapt new technology instead of trying to improve i.t. systems dating back decades. address cybersecurity threats that waste money as well as resources, improve the delivery of disaster assistance. too many out there. make sure the i.r.s. is getting the revenue owed to the federal government. money already supposed to be there. later today lawmakers will give their fresh insight to this report. a hearing in the 1:00 hour. it comes amid a growing debate

over whether or not the recent government cutbacks are long overdue or counterproductive. house oversight committee shareman james comer is among those praising the white house for its cutting government contracts writing. bloated federal programs fail to meet objectives. americans are tired of federal government failing its report card and demand actions. cutting spending is catching on well beyond the beltway. in florida republican governor ron desantis is launching his own doge task force. >> the one thing they're doing we need to incorporate is to utilize and leverage technology like artificial intelligence to be able to police the payments and operations and contracts. >> not everyone is a fan of some of these doge cutbacks. one lawmaker sung he wants to put forth a bill to require

lawmakers to go on the record to take a stand. he worries they may be too deep. >> dana: thank you for the update. >> president trump: great, we have people that don't show up to work and nobody even knows if they work for the government. by asking the question tell us what you did this week, what he is doing is saying are you actually working? and then if you don't answer, like you are semi fired or fired because a lot of people are not answering because they don't even exist. they are trying -- that's how badly various parts of our government were run especially by this last group. >> bill: feels like the beginning of this story. just in the very first chapter, if that. president trump backing elon musk after he sent an email to workers to name five things you did last week. brian brenberg named ten. democratic pushback is happening

now. sound bite two. here we go and here is some of that. >> the president has put elon musk into a position of authority to do damage to our government, to damage the private sensitive information of americans and sending out tweets mandating our government employees and civil servants does things. >> this is not about efficiency. it is about loyalty. about having trump and musk put in the people beholding to them so they can push forward on their corrupt agenda. >> bill: that's kind of a line of thought right now. last hour we were talking about desantis doing the same thing in florida. maybe this is picking up steam in other parts of the country. let's get rid of property tax. democrats in florida are saying you have been in charge for 30 years and now you want to talk about government waste. well, whether it's too late or not who cares if you are the taxpayer? >> i'm not the guy who thinks that any of these attacks on doge coming from the left carry any water with taxpayers. do the folks in d.c. like to

hear these things? yes, three nervous. they probably are confused. if you work for the government it is a tricky time right now. if you are outside of that sphere. most of america is way outside of that sphere, they see people going as fast as they can to fix things because they know time is not on their side. if you wait, if you go slow, the bureaucracy wins. that how it has won for decades. they want elon musk to give up and say government stinks. i will go build rockets and then this whole thing -- >> bill: he must have a bigger chain saw, i think. >> do whatever else you want. they want how they want to unlast the guy. an unpaid guy is saying i will unlast you, how will that work? >> dana: i was thinking about you this morning. there were other companies yesterday private sector that announced layoffs are coming fast, starbucks was one of them.

is that a reflection of what's going on in the economy? >> well, it is a reflection of real life in a competitive market where you have to do things well and efficiently or you lose customers and business and you have to shrink, right? whether it's a reflection of the economy. i think the economy is middling now. prices are still very high. this is what i want to say. companies always have to do this. americans all over the country every day of their life have to live with the reality that if their place doesn't work efficiently and effectively they might lose their job and they know that and they go to work and happy to tell people what they do. why you put together a resume to show people what you have done. what they are asking government to do is have the same ethos. they aren't saying it will be easy right now but saying unless government starts to work like that, the thing is going to go off a cliff. everybody knows that because they can read the debt number as clear as any other american.

>> bill: jamie dimon is out there talking. a lot of times he doesn't care what people think. i know elon and trump don't care what people think. >> the club is growing. >> the government is inefficient and needs a lot of work. waste and fraud outcomes. are we getting what we deserve? what should we change? doing that needs to be done. it is building the right policies and procedures and the government we deserve. >> bill: he would say if you do that you effectively for years to come make a better government. >> bill: can i latch onto one word he said? a private sector word. outcomes. what's the result of what we're doing? all this conversation is what email do i have to send and how much money is going in and how many people do we hire. a private sector guy who has to compete says what matters is what we get out of the process.

you look at things like usaid or department of education with test scores falling. that's not the outcome i want for my kids. if you take a private sector view of this thing, stop arguing about emails, stop arguing about staffing numbers and really start arguing about the outcomes of all these different departments and when you do that, it is a very different conversation and it's not about who lives in d.c. it is about a people who pay this government, who voted for this government and what they are getting out of it. and to me that's all they are trying to do here. >> dana: great to see you. noon often fox business. >> bill: i like your new show. >> thanks. i hang on for dear life and have a great ride. >> bill: tell them all hello. thanks. >> the hotel has been key in allowing us to effectively manage our operation. now thanks to the sound policy decisions of our team, we are able to announce the closure of

this site. >> dana: it became a symbol of the migrant crisis. now a hotel shelter in new york city is shutting down. the reason why next. plus young voters turned out in droves for president trump helping to give him a second term in the white house. are they still happy with that decision?

[tv announcer] premium meat for natural diet. most people don't realize how processed typical dog food is. at the farmer's dog we believe dogs should be able to get their daily nutrition without the excess processing. the digestibility is just better.

we have the right amount of protein, the right amount of fat, the right amount of nutrients being added, but it's real food. everybody wants to take care of their dog in the best way that they can. our mission is just to help them do that.

>> the roosevelt hotel that served as our asylum arrival center and emergency response and relief center for nearly two years will be closing in the coming months. we're taxpayers, saving taxpayers millions of dollars. >> dana: eric adams announcing the closure of the roosevelt hotel. headline of the front page of the "new york post" calling it check-out time. adams says the hotel will shut its doors as a migrant center in a couple of months. the number of asylum seekers looking for aid in new york dropping 200% since the peak of the crisis. that update. >> bill: democrats lost big on their woke messaging in november. but in the blue state of maryland lawmakers are pushing bills for schools there that go far to the left.

alexandria hoff is there in nap annapolis, maryland. what did you find out? >> it is causing quite the stir in maryland. the legislature passed forth a bill that allows for the sale of condoms, all contraceptives inside school vending machines. it reverses a ban on the sale of such items. republicans eye light this as legislation allows for the contraceptives to be sold at any grade level. >> this is the kind of stuff that makes swing states go red. it doesn't make any sense logically. it frankly shocks the conscience. why in the world would someone in a pre-school need a condom? >> it is not dictating what school systems should and shouldn't do. it is not mandating anybody to do anything. or suggesting that they should do something. it is just removing a criminal penalty.

the sky is not going to fall if we pass this bill. >> republicans attempted to restrict the condom sales to older kids. that amendment failed on party lines. the democratic majority advanced a bill preventing parents from opting their kids out of sexual identity and gender identity classes. bill maher had choice words. >> you want to lose every election keep coming down on the side of parents second who gets to decide what goes on with my kid contest. >> this legislation is being pushed, another move to insure that women's sports for females only has stalled, bill. >> bill: nice to have you there in annapolis. i like it. thank you. >> president trump: the people have given us a resounding

mandate for dramatic change in washington and we're going to deliver it. we'll use it and we'll make america great again by using it. >> dana: president trump pointing out his mandate for change after decisive election victory. young voters were part of the coalition driving him into the office. sending a strong message to democrats who once relied fully on their support. now over a month in office how do they feel about the decision? a junior at st. mary's college and leo is a junior at harvard and president of harvard college republicans. macy, let me start with you. we have this from the "wall street journal." headline that caught our attention a couple weeks ago. the rise of young republicans on america's college campuses. college conservatism hasn't gone mainstream but the stigma against republicans is lifting. has that been your experience at st. mary's? >> yes. i can tell you that president trump is working at break neck

speed. for generations to come. even at st. mary's our numbers have never been higher at republicans of america. we're excited about trump's -- we want a country we can be proud of. that comes with president trump delivering us promises and doing exactly that. >> dana: one of the things that you dealt with was that at st. mary's college, a women's catholic school, they tried to admit transgender women. you were somebody who fought against that -- transgender men i should say. how has that affected you at the school if at all? >> right. that has been an amazing situation. a policy was reversed over a year ago. we're seeing this revival. right wing revival at schools across the nation. the republican party and these conservative ideals are the

party of success. we're excited to latch onto that. >> dana: leo, let me turn to you. sometimes people would say the republican club at harvard must be about three people. i'm sure that isn't true especially that you are there at the helm. what has it been like for you since the election? >> i think the situation at harvard has never been better in recent years. 2016 we did not endorse the president. 2020 was qualified endorsement. 2024 a full endorsement. i think a lot of people were coming out of the silent minority on campus realizing the common sense policies. i think particularly the young people are getting more maga and as harvard is broken. we all know this. harvard -- has died but it will live again. new leaders will come out of it. we're a great institution and create great leaders, presidents and i think there can be a resurgence of harvard on the

national level. >> dana: last question to both of you. give you a chance to answer first. leo. what in your mind is something that president trump must do in order to keep new young republican support? go first, leo. >> i think really clearing out the bureaucracy and allowing young americans to join the administration and help our country move forward. these people have been in for so long and need to go. new people. >> they are already -- attacking legal immigration and protecting women and girls and putting american interests first. something we haven't seen in the past four years. imagine kamala harris as president. socialist border lift nation. we need president trump to keep pushing dynamic actions. the future is in his hands. rest assured that college republicans of america are right there behind him. >> dana: get back to class. i'll send a note if you need

one. >> bill: well done, students. alec bald win had a confrontation. have you seen this? have you watched it? >> dana: no. >> bill: sorry, the actor hurling death threats as a donald trump impersonator confronted him outside of his apartment in manhattan. >> i will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring. kiss the ring. >> my kids live in this willing. >> we love the children. doing great deals for the children. >> i would snap your neck. >> i'm a citizen. >> bill: it goes on for a while. the taunting thrown at baldwin. >> dana: i will say something i don't usually say. >> bill: the rust case dismissal from new mexico. that was that. i thought he went a little foe far to be honest with you outside of his house.

>> dana: he and his wife on the cover of people magazine this week. you know why? a new reality show. i just wouldn't put it past anybody to have staged this to get them attention to get back in the news so they can get more views for their reality show. that's what i think. i'm not usually like that. i leave that for jesse. >> bill: yes, you do. watch "the five" for that. >> if you are a low income or middle class family, they will take away your healthcare. >> this budget is a republican betrayal of the middle class. it guts the very programs millions of americans rely on. >> dana: democrats pushing to block president trump's tax cuts as house republicans move to advance their budget resolution delivering on the president's campaign promise. we're live on capitol hill next.

>> harris: government workers getting extra time to complete their assignment. a simple task, list the five things they did at work last week. not hard. we're watching it. house republicans moving to advance president trump's aggressive agenda saying it is important to prevent a devastating debt crisis and a bombshell report graphic sex talk on a work chat from national security agency employees. all under the guise of d.e.i.? house majority leader of louisiana steve scalise is here.

ms. habba is here. jason chaffetz. "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> bill: we have action in west texas. blue origin. here we go. >> dana: wow. >> wow. it is cleared. we know we have our speed and altitude graphics that will increase but -- >> bill: that was moments ago. things seem to be okay, you know. you always want to wait for the first minute. this is a ten space tour they've taken. they go up and feel weightless for a minute or so and come down to earth. just want to share that with

you. we always think it's cool stuff. >> dana: would love to interview somebody who is on it. they can tell me so i never have to do it myself. right now house speaker mike johnson is speaking on capitol hill as a budget battle bruce with democrats and internally with the republicans. aishah hosni is following it all. what have we missed in the last couple hours? >> you hit the nail on the head. we don't know if speaker johnson has enough republican votes to get it going later don't. he doesn't have any votes from democrats. in fact, right now the left is attacking president trump's big, beautiful bill by going after his 2017 tax cuts which do expire later on this year. now on monday democrat leader jeffries wrote a letter to his democratic conference and basically saying the far right extr extremists are trying to push through tax breaks for wealthy republican donors and well-connected corporations.

he is calling on them to go outside the capitol today at noon and protest this. we asked some democrats here why -- what they would say to americans wondering why they would stay in the way of tax breaks? >> listen, what i tell people first of all is to remember that average americans got bread crumbs. a couple weeks groceries in tax cuts. the most wealthy got the lion's share of that tax scam. so they get yachts and we get bread crumbs. don't settle for that. >> how republicans will try to cut 2 trillion and some people are afraid it might hit medicaid. we'll see what will happen later this evening. >> dana: we'll pay a lot of attention and watch for you. thank you so much. that was fun. >> bill: we'll get the true for the blue origin. >> dana: you want to do it tomorrow? >> bill: i want to do it again tomorrow. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert and watching
