said that wasn't true calling ohtani the victim of a massive theft. the stakes pretty high. th th three investigations, i.r.s., u.s. attorney and major league baseball. >> engaging in contact or payment or association with this illegal book making operation, which will certainly trigger discipline from major league baseball, if that's the case. >> so we have three possibilities here, right? mizuhara acted alone and ohtani knew nothing and he got ahold of the bank account and nobody noticed. ohtani did not bet but knew about the gambling problem and paid the bookie to help a friend or ohtani placed the bets himself. no evidence of that and no one has made that claim. no time yet, dana, for the presser. i wouldn't expect a long q and

a, opening day begins thursday. >> dana: we'll see what happens. thank you, william. fox news alert. former president donald trump entering a new york city court just moments ago. we saw it as it happened as he same day in the same city. one threatening his family business, the other his freedom. here he was moments ago. >> thank you very much, everybody. this is a witch hunt, it's a hoax. thank you. >> dana: he said nothing more. he said it was a witch hunt and hoax. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: headlines on a monday, don't we? >> dana: like that. >> bill: bill hemmer. good morning. a judge considering a possible start date for this new york criminal case against the former president. he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records connected to these hush money payments going back eight years.

it is also deadline day for trump to post a bond in another case. a bond that's reaching nearly half a billion dollars or face the possibility of seizure of his new york assets including five trophy towers in manhattan. by new york state attorney general going after trump. her words. former assistant u.s. attorney andy mccarthy with us last hour said this. >> it's a lot easier to win a money judgment than to enforce it. especially when you have very complicated finances like trump does. it will be a huge effort for her to enforce this judgment anyway. >> dana: we have fox team coverage. jonathan turley with legal analysis. brooke singman is here is with reaction from the former president and eric shawn is outside the new york state supreme court in manhattan. we saw the president walk in moments ago. >> good morning, dana.

we heard those two words, familiar refrain from the former president of the united states calling this case a witch hunt and a hoax. it is a hearing for the stormy daniels hush money case. the judge has delayed the trial one month to start on april 15th. trumps lawyers want a 90-day delay on the trial or dismiss the charges completely in terms of the allegations the president used money paying through his former fixer michael cohen in order to buy stormy daniel's silence for the alleged affair that mr. trump denies. part of a big day on the legal front. all eyes on new york state attorney general democrat letitia james and what she will do in terms of the $454 million bond imposed on the president and his company after judge engoron found that the former president and the trump organization for years falsely

inflated the value of real estate assets in order to get better loans from banks and the other companies. what will she do today? this is the deadline. the former president's lawyers unable to come up with all that money, they say. while a lot of attention and speculation is focused on what properties the attorney general could attach. legal experts we've talked to say that she will likely first go after bank accounts and try and freeze some of the cash money that is available. here is former federal prosecutor alex little on that. >> one reason i'm skeptical the attorney general will try to sell these properties, many have mortgages and liens against them already. there is not a great deal of money in those properties to go to the attorney general. she is much more likely to go after investment and cash accounts and things of that sort if she is trying to collect. >> james registered a judgment on the seven springs estate in westchester. trump tower a little more

complicated. it is a condominium. most of the building is owned by the people who own condos and the trump organization owning the commercial space. more updates here to see if the trial dealing with the stormy daniels hush payments is delayed yet again. should have some decision later today. >> dana: eric shawn, thank you. >> bill: brooke singman is here with fresh reaction from the former president. >> good morning. great to be here. trump on his way blasted all of the cases against him in new york and he is in that hearing related to the manhattan d.a.'s case. as he is there the clock is ticking as the lead line approaches for him to post the $454 million bond in new york attorney general james' case. trump posting that he did nothing wrong. questioning why he should have to sell my babies, referring to his properties and businesses, because of a ruling from a corrupt new york judge and attorney general.

trump said quote these are rigged cases coordinated by the white house and d.o.j. for purposes of election interference. trump told me in an interview last week he will take this fight against letitia james to the united states supreme court. they can't take away your property before you have had a chance to appeal. he can afford bond in the case nearly $5 hundred million in cash . trump told me that doesn't mean i will give my money to a rogue and incompetent judge. the puppet of a corrupt attorney general failing with violent crime and migrant crime and whose only purpose in life is attempting to get trump. so here trump does have several options. trump's legal team is appealing the decision to a higher court. other possible options involve selling properties or shares of his truth social app which could be worth approximately $4 billion. there is a current freeze on those shares. the board of the company can now vote to waive that freeze

following a merger to bring the company public on friday. he can also ask for help from investors but letitia james has threatened to freeze his bank and brokerage accounts. collect rent from his tenants and seize his new york properties. some properties at stake include the trump tower and trump national golf club in westchester. as for the bragg hush money case today trump said he thinks the case should be dismissed. >> bill: in a lot of ways james has the next move. we'll see what she does. >> that's right. 11:59 tonight. >> dana: good to have you. for more on this fox news contributor jonathan turley, great to have you. show for comparison call for number one, these are billion dollar bonds. types of lawsuits we're talking about. sony music versus cox, apple versus samsung. what is different between those and what you have here? >> well, the difference is these are companies that have much more readily available or fluid

assets like cash. in the case of trump you are dealing with a business empire that has always been real estate. these are fixed assets. and these are relatively rare bonds of this size. to ask for basically half a billion dollars in cash is something that a real estate business person or business is going to be hard to come up with. and many of the efforts, according to the trump team, were rebuffed. not because of who trump was but because of what his assets are. and that has led a lot of us to say why can't the court in this case and james have come up with a reasonable accommodation? it is not like these fixed assets are going to walk away. you can essentially agree to with trump not to make any changes or transfers on these assets while accepting $1 hundred million bond, which is

something quite substantial in and of itself but there is no interest in that coming from james or the trial court. >> bill: rich lowry writes this in national review. the shameful success of letitia james. he says this is a great success for james and a great shame for our system. she has proven it is possible to stretch the law to make a dubious case against a political enemy in a major jurisdiction in the united states and impose a punishment with no connection to the underlying offense but with ruinous personal consequences. do you agree with what lowery writes there? if so as a man of the law, what does this do to our system if lowery is on to something? >> i do agree with him. i think that this is causing tremendous damage to the new york legal system, which is a system that has been held very high in the esteem of people around the world. this was the place you wanted to do business. james is destroying that.

what international companies are witnessing is this bizarre ruling from this judge with a figure that none of us can truly figure out. and then the suggestion that you have to sell off businesses in order to appeal one judge's decision to protect those businesses. all of that undermines new york as a place to do business. it was already suffering from bad optics. this is far, far worse. >> dana: let me ask you something about the sons. eric trump and don junior are also on the hook for i think $10 million. how does that work here? >> well, they have a separate issue that they have to come up with. a little more doable in their case. the real question is going to be the big ticket item for their father and whether the new york court of appeals is going to step in. this is not an unsolvable problem. what trump is raising is not unreasonable.

most of us are shocked by what he is going through. the new york court of appeals can really reestablish the rule of law in new york by throwing a flag on this play and saying we are going to take a look at the bond to make sure this appeal can go forward. i don't see how this figure can be sustained because when you look at it, you know, the judge could have come up with a trillion dollars or 10 trillion. he knew by picking that number that trump would have a hard time making a bond. >> bill: interesting point. thank you, sir. jonathan turley, don't go far. we're here all day and so are you. thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: ten past the hour. emergency teams searching through the rubble of an awful moment in moscow. a concert terror attack first came the bullets and then came the fire. the islamic state claiming responsibility for a massacre that left at least 137 dead, hundreds more injured. benjamin hall and joins us live

from london. >> this is the worst terror attack in russia for 20 years. there is clear evidence this was carried out by isis. vladimir putin is blaming ukraine and saying they were behind this. the u.s. intelligence community has said it was carried out exclusively by isis-k, the isis faction from afghanistan. two weeks ago america warned russia an attack like this was likely to take place. at the time putin dismissed that warning. isis released video inside the hall. you see the attack and praising all yeah. putin shifting the blame to ukraine. the russians have captured the four activities who carried it out and claim they were trying to escape to ukraine and that they had helped from ukrainians. there are also must be said numerous videos of the suspects when they were captured being tortured by the russian military. president zelenskyy himself has responded quickly rejecting any

involvement from ukraine saying quote, that low life putin instead of dealing with his russian citizens was thinking about how to bring it to ukraine. just trying to blame someone else. putin has vowed revenge for the attack. worth remembering this is not the first time he used a terror attack in his favor. in 19994 apartment buildings were destroyed in moscow leading to the czechoslovakia war. meeting with heads of law enforcement and numerous attacks over the weekend in ukraine and also the russians stopped calling it a special military operation and call it a war. remains to be seen if we might see more conscription of people in response to the terror attack. >> bill: more to come on that. thank you. >> dana: donald trump's legal challenges unfolding on several fronts. the former president appearing in new york city court on his

hush money case on the same day his nearly half a billion bond comes due. we are staying on top of both cases. >> so much for cooperation south of the border. mexico's president in a brand-new interview says the drug cartels that are endangering the u.s., he says they are not his problem. >> dana: the islamic state terror group went down to defeat during the trump era. could isis exploit the crisis at the border and threaten the united states. >> if you are isis you want to attack the united states. get in ten people to do the attack. let's send them across the southern border, it is easy. lord, you know what's on our hearts. you know where we struggle. you know where we need to be pushed. help us give it all to you. the good, the bad. help us turn to you in everything we do. amen. i invite you to join me in more prayer on hallow. stay prayed up

election of 2016. where does it go? in the meantime, you have the clock ticking on this bond shy of $460 million so we'll quack that as well throughout the day today. when there were developments in either we'll bring them to you. >> dana: also today vice president kamala harris will meet with the guatemalan president on her root causes, remember that? the border strategy. the v.p. yesterday defended the white house border action days after this scene at the southern border. >> did you watch that border video down in el paso? does that send a message to americans that the border is secure >> we are very clear, i think most americans are clear, that we have a broken immigration system and we need to fix it. we have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. >> dana: immigration just one of the top issues for voters in november.

>> bill: so 20 past the hour now. mexico's president says he will not go after powerful cartels that overrun the u.s. border because he doesn't want to act as a policeman for another country. that's not all he said. gillian turner has more from the state department with more on this the day after. good morning there. >> there is emerging problem of time share fraud in mexico targeting americans. it is such a major problem we're learning the biden administration has launched sanctions targeting 40 mexican companies and a dozen people for time share fraud. the fastest growing group of victims that mexican cartels are targeting is american seniors. >> particularly targeting retirees. based on my experience at the f.b.i. that is a vulnerable population. individuals who have never asked to sell their time shares. these are unsolicited calls and

contacts and asking them would you be interested in selling this and really being very -- >> the scheme has netted the new generation gang, one of the most powerful, hundreds of millions of dollars over the last decade. the justice department says $288 million in just the last five years. the ceo of the american resort development association tells us mexican scammers don't immediately go in for the kill. listen to this. >> amount of money starts out very small and then gradually gets bigger and bigger and bigger and they've seen cases and we've talked to people who have been part of this where again it's tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. >> mexico's president says his government has no plans, 0, to crack down on these crimes. he said on friday quote, we are not going to act as policemen for any foreign government. we spoke to a bunch of experts.

the most important thing to flag for people, any time somebody you don't know in real life reaches out to you and asks for a wire transfer, especially if the money is to be sent overseas, this is a huge red flag. don't do it. don't do it. back to you, bill. >> bill: more to come gillian turner. thank you. >> dana: chris swecker, former f.b.i. assistant director. there was another thing that obrador talked about. the demand side for drugs here in the united states. basically saying the fentanyl issue is our problem alone. watch here. >> fentanyl is also proud in the united states. >> most of it is coming from mexico. >> you know why we don't have the drug consumption that you have in the united states? because we have customs, traditions, and we don't have the problem of the disintegration of the family. >> dana: how does the f.b.i. go about tackling this issue if you have a partner on the other side

who says the breakdown in family in the united states? i'm not saying that american doesn't have a demand-side problem. what about what he said? >> well, any dea and f.b.i. agent and ice agent that has worked in mexico and around mexico knows that there is a partnership between the cartels and the power structure in mexico. that's been around for a long, long time. so of course they aren't going to touch the cartels because there is a partnership there. or the few honest politician the -- that there are are intimidated. their version of the delta team who switched to the bad guy side. they are in partnership with them or intimidated. a politician is poor is a poor politician. they take that to heart.

>> dana: so i guess that we have to figure out in the next several months as a nation as we go to the election, which president do you want to continue to fight this? at the same time, we have the southern border problems and the possibility of a national security threat. we have 9 million people who have come over in the last 3 1/2 years and this is from jason owens on face the nation. >> we're at closing in on a million entries this fiscal year alone. this number is a large number but what keeping me up at night is the 140,000 known gotaways. that's a national security threat. border security is a big piece of national security. if we don't know who is coming into our country and we don't know what their intent is, that is a threat. >> dana: they have to find 140,000 known gotaways in as many hay tax.

>> 1.9 million. closer to 2 million since the biden administration came in. yes, this is the most grave national security threat that we've had in our lifetimes. it is a crime wave, a terrorism threat and it is a counter intelligence or intelligence threat. we'll be living with this for decades. we don't know who is coming across our border. intelligence agents. i guarantee professional negligence on the part of an enemy if they didn't try to infiltrate through the mexican border because it's so easy to do it. cartels, criminal organizations, just gangs and thugs from venezuela. emptying their prisons out of venezuela into the u.s. like castro did in 1980. we'll live with that crime wave for quite a while. giving away our trade secrets all these intelligence agents will steal trade secrets, china, russia, etc. so we have basically thrown open the back door and the side door

while we lock the front door. >> dana: chris swecker of the f.b.i. thank you on this monday morning. >> bill: nice to sigh. change of pace quickly. again -- then president bill clinton snored through a good movie and she hasn't forgiven him. >> he passed out asleep during the white house screening of emma. >> it is real. he was snoring right in front of me. i was like wow, i guess this is going to be a real hit movie. [laughter] it was so >> bill: emma grossed $40 million worldwide. >> dana: hard not to fall asleep in a movie. kind of hard. okay. indeed. >> bill: this from sunday that has everybody wondering. >> what nbc made the decision to

>> thank you very much, everybody. this is a witch hunt, this is a hoax. thank you. >> bill: short, sweet, president trump now before the judge as alvin bragg brings the stormy daniels hush money case to court after years after his happened and same day have a payment due for half a billion in bond money. what happens to that we don't know. kayleigh mcenany joins us now. good morning to you. eric trump with maria b. said

this about the people who he believes will be hurt through this. >> this is a crooked system with a crooked attorney general in a crooked court that literally wants to put my father out of business. you know who they are going to hurt? they'll hurt the thousands and thousands of employees that we have in new york state, these are janitors, door men, these are people that work in commercial buildings. they will hurt those individuals, not -- >> bill: letitia james the a.g. it's her move now, right? she has the power to make the next move in this. >> she filed a judgment in the westchester county court. the appellate court puts on decisions tuesday and thursday if they are able to reduce the bond. the bottom line when you look at all these cases, just look. is there any precedent for this? the a.p. analysis said no, no precedent for a victimless crime and they analyzed 70 cases.

"new york times" move over to the hush money before. never before. never before has this been brought for a federal election in the state of new york. when voters look at this and say there is no precedent for this it plays into trump's arguments about the system being stacked against him. >> dana: what do you expect from the appeals court? jhonattan turley said they have to opportunity do devon archer to reset the balance. >> i think they will. i think rational observer assuming with neutral judges will look and say it is too much. the precedent -- you have prosecutorial discretion and what you are supposed to do when has this been brought about similar victims? the answer is never. >> bill: so there was a matter on nbc over the weekend. >> dana: you can say that. >> bill: right? ronna mcdaniel former head of the rnc was hired by nbc. i don't know if she will keep her job or not. their heads were blowing off yesterday. a little bit of what happened on

"meet the press" and morning joe earlier today. >> no idea whether any answer she gave to you was because she didn't want to mess up her contract. she has credibility issues that she still has to deal with. is she speaking for herself or spinning on behalf of who is paying her? >> we weren't asked our opinion who was hiring and we would have objected to it. >> we hope nbc will reconsider its decision. it goes without saying that she will not be a guest on the morning joe in her capacity as a paid contributor. >> bill: turn this around. if somebody said this at fox news, they would be walked out the door. >> this is unbelievable. >> bill: this is enormous insubordination. >> you would expect something like this from joe score borrow and i was disappointed in chuck todd.

you are a journalist. who at your network represents the 46.7% of the country that tells real clear politics average and you look at the polls, we support trump? i couldn't find and i looked a single person on their roster that represents that half of the country. ronna mcdaniel, i thought good for them. she represents that wing of the party. if you can't accept her, who would you accept? >> dana: i also was thinking the same thing, bill. if you have a problem with your employer you do it publicly? i would never do that. if you have a problem. they are so willing to stick with their ideology and rigid in it that they're willing to do that to their employer. remarkable. >> bill: in 2017, seven house democrats objected to trump's electoral win. 67 democratic members who didn't attend the inauguration. in 2019 hillary clinton suggested the election was

stolen. she called him an illegitimate president suggesting he knows he stole the election in 2016. they were saying that ronna mcdaniel is lying to you and you cannot trust what she says and therefore she should not be employed at nbc. >> stacey abrams made several comments of that nature. katie porter, a democrat as well. i watched ronna's interview yesterday. she spoke as someone giving her opinion as someone who is no longer the head of the party and i thought it was a candid interview. if you were of a certain viewpoint, it is not welcome at nbc, a major news network on a major sunday show. >> bill: do they have a conservative voice on nbc today? >> mark short, who is former vice president pence chief of staff. he is a great voice but represents not the wing of the party ronna mcdaniel does. why not bring on both voices and

let viewers decide. >> bill: see you on "outnumbered." >> dana: major shake-up at boeing. will a change in leadership help ease safety concerns? is isis on america's doorstep? general jack keane why the border crisis could leave us open to an attack. rine to your . new science shows listerine is 5x more effective than floss at reducing plaque above the gumline. for a cleaner, healthier mouth. ahhhhh. listerine. feel the whoa! ♪ with fastsigns, create factory grade visual solutions to perfect your process. ♪ fastsigns. make your statement™. i hear it all the time. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish

>> bill: we have the first still pictures from inside the courtroom. there are a few journalists and camera folks inside there. this is trump sitting at the table across the way. zoom in a couple of times on him. court has been underway for 30 minutes. judge gaveled things at 10:07 eastern time. we have ongoing notes about the d.a.'s office. 300 relevant documents the defense claims there are thousands and thousands. the document dump that happened

a month ago is part of the reason why this case has been delayed for 30 days and -- the judge is insisting on getting things rolling today. here we have it. >> dana: the judge says there are not significant questions of fact to be resolved. >> bill: okay. is asking questions related to the amount of documents produced by the southern district in new york. march 25th is the date where we are now. it was the end of february. that has been punted to today and they're underway. >> dana: we'll get you this news. u.n. security council is holding a new vote on a gaza cease-fire happening right now. the resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire for the month of ramadan. the u.s. reportedly not expected to veto. that's drawing pushback from israeli prime minister netanyahu saying the u.s. does not block the resolution, he will call off a planned visit to washington by the israeli delegation. >> bill: something to watch there. this from sunday. marco rubio. >> the f.b.i. director confirmed

to me that there is a trafficking network out there spe specializes moving people with links to isis across our southern border. >> isis on the doorstep, the warning from some out of d.c. a chilling warning of the islamic state terror group is once again a threat to u.s. security seeing the chaos at the southern border as a way to get into the country. jack keane is here. you think about what happened in moscow over the weekend and reeling from that trying to understand that. so are russian authorities. here is 2023 on the isis threat. >> tsk's of hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we haven't seen since isis launched its so-called caliphate several years ago. >> bill: i don't know what you're hearing but it can't be good from inside the intel community and military service.

what should we understand about this? >> certainly. this is the origin is isis-k who has a sanctuary inside of afghanistan. and for our viewers who recall when the discussions were taking place about whether we should leave troops in afghanistan to make certain that al qaeda and isis sanctuaries were not able to regain a foothold, the biden administration made an unconditional decision to pull all of that out. the 2500. similar to the amount of forces we have in iraq and syria to make certain that the caliphate that was destroyed during the trump administration in both of those countries were not able to gain a foothold again and that's why we have troops in iraq and syria. the nato countries who were part of the troop deployment to afghanistan all of these years, six of them told the biden

administration that they wanted to leave their 7,000 troops there but they couldn't leave them if the united states pulled the 2500 out because we had air support and logistic support that they did not have. think about that. why was europe doing that? they were doing that because they fear an isis attack on their soil. the fact there the has been an isis attack in iran and now an isis attack inside of russia gives a lot of concern to the europeans as well. isis has a sanctuary there and they can depend on regional sources to assist them in conducting out of afghanistan attacks and they have aspirations to attack the united states. so i agree with everyone's concern about the southern border and how easy it would be to move gunmen like we saw operating in moscow across that border and the resources it

takes to conduct an operation like is not sophisticated. ammunition, guns and modest amount of money. >> bill: low-cost terror. the french put out a story on sunday. with regard to hamas. we were told there were 99 israeli hostages still being held there. apparently talks underway. israelis say it's 50/50 to maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. here is alexandria ocasio-cortez on c fricke n sunday. >> they said this war could end tomorrow if hamas freed the hostages and laid down the arms. do you disagree? >> i do disagree because when we're talking about famine, the actions of hamas should not be tied to whether a 3-year-old can eat. >> bill: heavy topic but i need a quick answer. i don't know what you make of that comment. you are free to comment or

whether you think there could be a deal? >> well, there certainly could be a deal and likely will be at some point. there are differences and the most recent differences that turned out over the weekend have to do with the number of murderers that hamas wants released out of israeli jails. also hamas wants to be able to move people as soon as the deal is cut, move them back into northern gaza and the israelis don't want anything like that to happen until two weeks after the deal is cut and they want a very controlled situation. there has been some agreement on the numbers -- in other words, positions have changed on the numbers. hamas wanted over 1,000 palestinians released. now we're down to 800. israelis initially said 400. so there is some progress being made but still they are still not there on the deal, bill. that's the reality of it. >> of the 800, 100 are convicted

of murder. think about that. general. thank you so much. we'll speak later in the week. jack keane, thanks. >> dana: want to show you these photos we have received from inside the courtroom. you see president trump there with his lawyers and there are -- we understand there are two sketch artists as well. the first photographs that have come out of the courtroom. that hearing is underway. we're waiting to see what the judge will decide on this particular case. the hush money case and at the same time we've got the ticking clock on the bond case. we're paying attention to both of those and we'll be right back. back. blue jays, cardinals, orioles... what's missing? the andean condor? no, walnut-brain! pigeons! they'd rather name a team after socks! to be fair, we're not very athletic.

>> harris: two phrases from former president's trump. witch hunt and hoax. right now he is in a hush money case and we could see a trial date for that. plus his nearly half billion dollars bond is due today. at the stroke of midnight new york's attorney general promised to get trump can start seizing

his assets. a top democratic strategist is warning dem's message is too feminine and preachy. "the faulkner focus" is top of the hour. >> bill: see you in minutes. first photos inside the courtroom now as that case gets underway. andy mccarthy is listening kind of sort of. there is no recording devices in the room we should say. your headline at the moment is what? >> discovery dispute. defense is trying to say that it is catastrophic to have gotten thousands of documents on the eve of trial that are incredibly relevant. the state is trying to say there is only a trifling number of them that have any relevance at all and three weeks is plenty of time to go through them and that's what the battle lines are at the moment. >> dana: andy, when the judge says there is nothing really -- the facts aren't in question

here, are we entering another situation where the judge has already made a decision? >> i wish we had a little more context on that, dana. i assume what he is talking about is the number of documents that were supposed to come in from the southern district and not how relevant they are. the big argument seems to be over how relevant they are. i can't see there is a factual dispute on that. >> bill: thank you, andy, talk to you in a minute. there is a major shake-up at boeing. ceo announcing plans to step down after a high-profile series of safety issues. dan springer is watching that from seattle. a lot of people saw this one coming, dan. >> this major change at boeing comes as the company has been under intense pressure for several months over a series of mechanical issues tied directly to safety. announced this morning that ceo dave calhoun will retire at the end of the year. the president and ceo of

boeing's commercial aircraft division is out immediately and the chairman of the board will step down as well. the latest crisis was touched off in january when a boeing 737 max nine had a door plug blow out in mid flight. that has triggered three federal investigations, ntsb, federal aviation administration and the department of justice, ntsb determined the door plug was reinstalled with critical bolts missing and boeing has no record of who made that critical mistake. calhoun was dragged in front of congress and took responsibility and said the company has to do better. calhoun did not come from a plane engineering background. he is a financial guy coming from general electric and black stone group before that. now it's important to note that calhoun has said it was his decision, he decided to retire at the age of 68. a lot of pressure on him and

boeing leadership to make changes after all those quality issues and we'll see what happens next and who will take his place. >> bill: thank you, dan springer, the update from seattle, washington. stock was up a couple dollars and now up a buck 22 in trading. what are you cooking up? >> dana: before we go new york city police spotting something strange in the neighborhood. nypd posted this video of the ghost busters famous car driving around new york city. the department wrote we called in some backup for the sunday scares. taking it out for a joy ride. >> bill: hang with us all day. i'll be back at 1:00 and dana will be back at five. >> dana: and the ohtani press conference. a lot going on this monday. harris faulkner will take you to the next hour. "the faulkner focus" is next. >> harris: we'll begin with a fox news alert. legal battles collg
