7:00 am
>> bill: we'll talk again. gary markus. thanks for coming on. >> dana: the greatest of all time has already come out of retirement once and could he do it a second time? >> if somebody goes down would you pick up the phone? >> i'm not opposed to it. i don't know if they'll let me become an owner in an nfl shape. i'll always be in shame and throw the ball. to go back for a little bit. i don't know if they would let me but i wouldn't be opposed to it. >> dana: he could come back to the nfl saying it is not out of the question. >> bill: do the denver broncos need a quarterback? >> dana: i don't remember. i thought they kept that guy. >> russell wilson went to pittsburgh. >> dana: why did they do that? is that a good move for pittsburgh? i don't know. all right. that's happening. this is happening. the white house announcing
7:01 am
another round of student loan bail-outs putting taxpayers on the hook for an additional $7 billion of other people's personal debt. unbelievable. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: happy friday. bill hemmer. economists are warning the latest round of student debt relief could make inflation worse with more disposable income driving prices even higher. so far the biden administration has canceled a total of $153 billion in student loan debt. mike rowe saw that number and sounded off with dana yesterday as inflation keeps on rising. here is mike. >> it's a frog in a boiling water. just a little more every day. the biggest phenomenon in their stores happens during check-out when people realize the things in their cart cost more than the money they have and so the decision is constantly about what to put back. and so when i think about it in those terms, what are you going to put back? >> dana: edward lawrence from fox business live at the white
7:02 am
house. hi, edward. >> we're talking about now 7.4 billion the latest announcement by the white house affecting 277,000 people from the changes that have already happened to the student loan forgiveness plan. costing taxpayers $153 billion already. that is tax money affecting 4.3 million people. the president wants to make changes so forgiveness would extend to 30 million americans. seven states already said they'll sue including kansas. >> the loans must be repaid. the supreme court has already said that he didn't have authority the first time. we intend to prove he is basically ignoring the supreme court's decision and trying to do it again. >> critics say this is election year politics trying to buy younger votes. those critics say forgiveness plan will boost inflation that the president misled americans about in the rose garden this week. >> the president said when he
7:03 am
came into office inflation was skyrocketing. it was 1.4% in january 2, '01. the 11th month under 2%. was the president misleading americans? >> there was a pandemic closing down businesses and schools and so it was drastically disrupting the supply chain. >> the supply chain measure went down in november at that time. so is the president being honest about inflation? >> the president has said -- he said what he saw when he took office. the pandemic was happening, right? it disrupted the supply chain. >> that government spending is not stopping. student loans part of that. back to you, dana. >> dana: it is indeed. let me know where they are keeping the pot of money they keep digging into. where is it held at the white house? >> bill: it's perino's pockets. >> dana: what's going on?
7:04 am
>> bill: at a time when josh families around the world are preparing for pass over israelis are making other kinds of preparations and showing they're ready for a direct attack by iran. the warning for 24, 48 hours. does it happen? we don't know. greg palkot is watching the warnings live in london with more. >> there are new reports saying that iran could be hitting israel hard and soon. this follows an attack by israel in damascus that left several revolutionary guard officials dead. israel is preparing for a direct attack from iran on northern or southern israel as soon as get this, today or tomorrow. iran has threatened to retaliate every since the attack happened last week. attacking israeli assets outside the country or let hezbollah do
7:05 am
the dirty work? the new concerns prompted the state department to bar u.s. embassy employees in israel from any travel around the country. it comes down to the the iranian supreme leader. he does not want to start a full-fledged war with israel or the u.s. some iranian officials have talked about a non-s ca la tore and measured response. regardless israeli prime minister netanyahu and war cabinet pledge their country's forces are on high alert and prepared. they would respond directly to any attack from iran. president biden saying defensive ties between the u.s. and israel are in his words iron clad. it's now to some nervous watching and waiting as wars and crisis as we know go on in gaza and other parts of the region, too. a lot of action. >> bill: let's keep it peaceful and hope for it, right?
7:06 am
greg palkot. thank you for that. >> dana: more than 240 hostages were taken into gaza october 7th. hamas now says it may not even have enough alive to make a cease-fire deal. five americans were among the 240 kidnapped. our next guest asking why isn't president biden angry about that? a senior writer for national review. hamas has strung people along about the cease fires for months and now they have to admit that they might not even have them. >> that's the gist of the admission. the terms were they needed 40 prisoners who were infirm, sick, women, children, and that has been the ask of the hamas terrorist group since the cease-fire deals proposed in january, february. all rejected by hamas. it turns out the terms that they were arguing in favor of they couldn't meet. and the president seems to reserve only all his ire and
7:07 am
frustration for israel. israel's excesses on the battlefield. the president has been humiliated. the country has been humiliated. we are talking about americans here too, five or six. >> bill: five is the number we have. >> i would like to see the president perhaps express a modicum of the frustration that americans feel watching their country be humiliated on the world stage. watching their countrymen be murdered by terrorists adding to the 32 who were killed on october 7th in that attack and yet we see none of it. we see this president who seems utterly paralyzed by a fear of escalation on the battlefield. paralysis that leads to the very escalation that he wants to avoid. and right now he is staring down the prospect of an iranian attack. a direct challenge to our deterrent posture. our assets are to deter hezbollah and houthis and iran.
7:08 am
if that fails joe biden has no choice but to adopt a more aggressive posture designed to restore stability in the region or else he will get challenges all over the planet as a result of his fear of the other side doing something. they need to fear him. >> dana: right. >> bill: there are warnings by the u.s. intelligence community that we told iran there would be a bombing in southern iran and there was and many people were killed. we warned russia that there could be an attack in their country and there was. now we've got this warning 24, 48 hours that iran could strike back against israel. do you see that happening? >> i don't know. i don't have access to the intelligence. i hope it doesn't. i don't suspect we're at a point that iran can avoid a face-saving maneuver. hopefully something what we saw after the soleimani strike. ballistic missiles launcheded to targets in iraq. when we saw that attack
7:09 am
materialized it looked more de-esc de-escalation. we could afford to ignore it or talk ourselves out of the necessity of responding. >> bill: we asked mary kissel about that last hour. she said the united states was positioned in a way at that time much more fortified for an iranian response than we are now. do you agree with that? >> it's true and it was the -- a moment of real caution on the part of the trump administration to avoid a retaliatory response and that cooled tensions. we don't know if we'll have that luxury based on what the strike looks like. we see reports in places like political, disturbing reports that there has to be a distinction between civilian and military targets. the scale of the response from
7:10 am
iran to the attack on the syrian consulate, that needs to be calibrated, too. you guys just need to watch and wait and don't overreact. and the stage is set now for what we could always expect from this administration and the western world. to look on israel and say israel, you can't respond. whatever the scope and scale of this attack it. maybe it's so serious, if it materializes, that it shocks the world and says israel you have to do what you have to do. i highly doubt it. i suspect we'll get something that looks just big enough to suggest to israel you can't respond to that. otherwise you will have this horrible regional conflict and we can't have that. it would be really a rather disturbing abdication of our responsibility. >> dana: love following you at national review. thank you for your conversations to the debate. >> bill: take the viewers back to capitol hill. lawmakers speaking on the floor
7:11 am
of the house. dan crenshaw wrapped up his remarks after the vote to advance a bill an reforming fisa, the critical spy tool for america. it was a narrow vote passing by a margin of five votes earlier coming after 19 republicans blew up the first test vote on wednesday over section 702 that allows surveillance of foreigners without a warrant. this legislation would shrink any extension from five to two years which means we'll have the debate again in a shorter period of time. final passage could happen today based on the reporting from chad and a few others on the hill. stand by with more. >> dana: terror threats at home. the f.b.i. director said we're vulnerable to a terror attack. >> bill: far left activist sending for sotomayor to retire. >> dana: outrageous. >> bill: shannon bream covers
7:12 am
the court and will cover that coming up. it is a lifetime appointment, after all, right? >> dana: the woman whose hug with president trump went viral talking about his warm welcome in georgia. >> most of the media would have you thinking if president trump were to show up to walk around the community some angry mob would form or a riot would ensue. in that room the other day was the complete opposite. my scooter broke down. i went into a depression. how do you feel about that? pretty sad. and i posted it to show that kenny's not always happy. within 24 hours people had donated over $5,000. no, you're kidding. we set up the patriotic kenny foundation to give mobility scooters to veterans. it has changed my life tremendously. none of this would've happened without tiktok.

7:17 am
war, miss ricard, war. rated pg >> bill: now far left democrats calling for supreme court justice sonia sotomayor to retire before the election in november. what does our chief legal correspondent think about that, shannon bream. good morning. so just so you know here, sotomayor is 69 years old.
7:18 am
and richard blumenthal from connecticut is saying we need to learn a lesson. he is 78. the president is 81. obama tried to get ruth bader ginsberg to retire. she lived another seven years and said go pound sad in mer way. the average age of congress 57.9 years in the house. senate 64 years. what's going on here? >> there is a little panic about the fall and democrats wondering whether they'll both hold the senate and the white house. justice sotomayor i saw her in arguments seemed to me like she always does. fully engaged. she is diabetic. she took precautions. but she doesn't seem to be losing a step at all when it comes to doing her job. i would imagine privately she is looking at the birthdays of some of her critics saying you first.
7:19 am
you have me beat by ten plus years. no indications she is going anywhere. a number of democrats also saying it is insulting. leave her alone. don't pressure her. this is a lifetime appointment. when you pressure people is when they dig in their heels. >> dana: she might be surprised a lot of conservatives are the ones defending her this week. >> again, it's a lifetime appointment. if you are there and doing your job. no medical emergencies and we have had a number of people who had medical emergencies, including the late justice ginsberg with her numerous bouts of cancer and other serious illnesses but showed up for work every day. sotomayor has been public about she is tired. it is going 365 days a year. it hurts her in her heart and stomach when she loses. she is frustrated with the job. that only gives the critics calling for her to step down a
7:20 am
little bit of ammo. >> bill: the concern would be the democrats don't hold the senate. that's a real possibility. see how it goes. in the meantime what's the deal with the press left in the hallway with the japanese and philippine leaders? we got a statement from the pool report. the white house held most of the press in the lower hallway in the east wing even as the pool spray meeting got underway. put it into english for our viewers. >> you are waiting to go into this meeting where you have access in the white house. dana knows it better than anybody and you have to be let into the meeting. apparently the meeting starts. press is not in there. you have to be there to see what happens. the president is meeting with world leaders and touted meeting that it would be important. so when the press is left out this could be a complete mistake, something a staffer could have gotten wrong. there may be younger staffers running things that day. even if it's an innocent mistake it feeds into the perception that the press and the president are to be kept separate.
7:21 am
there is to be a shield and guard between them and that the press can't have as much access as they would like to have for this president. the perception is there is press is getting shafted. it is not good. >> dana: the president has two world leaders there expecting the coverage for their trip because they need to have that back home as well. tell us what's on "fox news sunday." >> senator john kennedy is joining us. we'll hear his thoughts. we have attorney will sharpe running for attorney general in missouri. we'll talk about that and preview the supreme court immunity case in a few days as well. >> dana: i will be on the panel. >> dana perino, ladies and gentlemen, the party has started. >> dana: looking forward to it. giddy already. >> we are, too. >> dana: out rage on new york's
7:22 am
long island after six huge drums of toxic chemicals were found buried in a public part. residents believe it is linked to cancer causes in their community. we're in oyster bay, long island. >> those drums filled with chemicals were found just behind this cedar fence. what the town calls a graveyard of contamination. while these signs warn people to stay out, those who grew up here fear the damage has already been done. >> i think everyone who lives here knows the history. >> lois says she noticed an alarming trend as she grew up just three blocks from. her dad worked at the military engineer company. >> everyone had cancer across the street. >> then lois was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. >> i'm not alone. i have many friends who had multiple cancers from my high
7:23 am
school >> today she is cancer free but others believe the cancer cases stem from contaminated soil discovered in 2002 at the dal ball field. it was spreading from the site. never been a confirmed link to cancer from the contamination and the company denies the allegations. the cleanup continues leading to a shocking discovery. >> when they were drilling one of the wells for the remediation work, they hit something. >> six, 55 gallon chemical drums encased in concrete were discovered last month buried beneath the former ball field. >> is there a cover-up going on here and why haven't they excavated them and safely removed them from the site years ago. >> the state department says it is working with federal and local officials to insure the company safely removes the containers and says the discovery doesn't present a
7:24 am
threat to public health. the state says right now it doesn't believe any of the chemicals to the drums leaked into the ground. dana, back to you. >> dana: cb cotton. thank you. >> bill: beautiful town. uncharted territory in u.s. history. donald trump's hush money trial beginning on monday, a criminal matter now. can you find an impartial jury in new york? we'll have a look at that. talk about an unwelcome guest, huh? have a look. >> it's the first time i've ever seen an alligator even across the street. >> how big did you say he was? >> i would say he was probably six or seven feet. >> bill: he was bigger than that. we'll talk to the woman who went one-on-one with this guy in her kitchen. ♪ it's time to feed the dogs real food,

7:30 am
>> dana: f.b.i. director wray is warning lawmakers the threat of a terrorist attack on u.s. soil is on the rise. >> we've seen a rogue's gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against americans and our allies. but now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland. >> dana: this comes as an afghan national with ties to terror is now in u.s. custody. dhs sources claim he was arrested and released twice exposing the dire national security threat at the southern border. >> bill: 10:30 now. donald trump on monday becomes the first former president to stand trial criminal trial when jury selection begins in the new york hush money case. katie is a criminal defense attorney with us in studio. good morning to you. so you are a defense attorney, all right? let's put you on trump's team right now.
7:31 am
what is his best defense? >> i actually think that he has a very strong defense in this case. we have to remember that there have been multiple prosecuted places that declined to take this place forward. the prosecution is tricky. the prosecution has to prove two layers of intent here. criminal intent on the part of donald trump and their case relies primarily on the testimony of michael cohen who was, of course, his lawyer at the time and now disbarred and convicted of fraud. it will be a tough case for the prosecution proving the intent elements on the intent to falsify records and intent to do so to cover up another crime. >> bill: this whole jury selection thing will get -- >> dana: the judge sent a letter saying there are no questions asking prospective jurors who they voted for or made political contributions to or asked about their political party
7:32 am
registration. the answer to that question may be gleaned from responses to the other questions. that seems right in the scheme of things. that's how it should be. >> right. there is a line that the judge has to draw in terms of how far you can get into somebody's political preferences versus their ability to sit in fair judgment of that case with the instructions of the court. certainly it will be very tough to pick a jury regardless. >> dana: what do you think of trump's claims about the judge being biased in this case because of his daughter? >> they are valid claims. i don't understand why there can't be another judge on that case. it does seem like it wouldn't be the optics of the fairness of the system is compromised by continuing to keep him on that case. >> bill: i think your husband said, can't you find another judge? it's big city. do you like jonathan turley? >> i do. >> he said this. >> the optics are horrendous. this is a very weak case. in my view it is weaponization
7:33 am
of the system and now the gag orders flying right before an election that could turn on the weaponization of the criminal justice system. it could not be worse for our country and the judges have gone too far with some of these orders. >> bill: this is typically a miss demeanor charge elevated to a felony. >> they have to prove it was an intent to commit another crime. >> bill: what would be the other crime be? >> interference with an election. federal and state election laws. in order to prove that case, that's the second layer of intent i was talking about which requires that they show that he was falsifying these records even if true for the purpose solely to impact that election, not for personal -- >> bill: i would argue back, not an attorney. i feel like we're back in o.j. days. they're done by lawyers every
7:34 am
day in every state in the country a non-disclosure agreement is what it amounts to. does it or not? >> absolutely. it's not the issue here. the agreement itself is not the problem. the question is about the disti distinction for what the expenses were for and what the case turns on and why it is will be difficult for a jury to understand there was a criminal intent to conceal the nature of the expenses when he had his own lawyer telling him how to document this and pay him. >> dana: do you see any reason this trial would be delayed beyond the start date on monday? >> i do. i think donald trump still has the right to fire his defense team if he wanted to do so at the last minute. something that the supreme court has been very clear defendant is entitled to counsel of his selection. i think it would be an extreme decision but not off the table here. >> dana: interesting. >> bill: we'll call you again. >> dana: tell your husband we said hello.
7:35 am
>> my opinion was i think he is guilty. i have that opinion and i still believe that today. you know, on his deathbed i don't know if he said a penance or not. i really believe he is guilty and if he made peace with god or not. >> dana: key witness in o.j. simpson's trial not mincing words against his death. he died yesterday after battling cancer. jonathan with more. >> perhaps the most important reaction to the death of o.j. simpson comes from the family of ron goldman who simpson, of course, claimed he did not brutally murder. the goldman family, sister and father wrote last night. the news of ron's killer passing away is a mixed bag of complicated emotions and reminds us that the journey through grief is not linear. for three decades we pursued
7:36 am
justice for ron and nichole, the hunt for true accountability has ended. thank you for keeping our family and most importantly ron in your hearts for the last 30 years. the murders of ron goldman and nichole brown simpson have never been formly reinvestigated since simpson was acquitted. according to many who have watched or been involved over the decades, there is one simple reason for that. >> he have was guilty as hell. forensic evidence, circumstantial evidence and the manner in which the murders took place. it was clearly a crime of passion. it was clear there was so much evidence against him that he deserved to be in jail for the rest of his life. >> of course, the cherished memories of nichole and she was a beacon of light, she was. she was bright and funny. i don't think -- people shouldn't forget that. it is really about two young,
7:37 am
beautiful people that were murdered. >> one of the prosecutors who failed to get a guilty verdict against simpson released a short statement marsha clark saying simply, i send my condolences to mr. simpson's family. o.j. simpson was 76. ron goldman would have turned 56 this year. nichole brown simpson would have celebrated her 65th birthday next month. >> dana: thank you for that wrap-up. we were talking how younger people don't understand how all consumed everyone was. you can answer this question. where were you during the bronco chase? you? >> bill: great one. you are taking me back. i just backpacked around the world and i was living in the back part of my buddy, d.j.'s house. he called me cato because the trial was going on and i was living in his house just like
7:38 am
cato. i said could i have a pool party on friday night? he gave the okay. we had 30 people over and we just got going and then my buddy rich mitchell was inside and he goes, they just found o.j. party was over. all 30 of us went inside and watched it on tv for about -- it went on for four hours at least. the party was over. what were you doing? >> dana: i was a cocktail waitress in denver. i was just a waitress and i -- it was a sports bar, tvs everywhere. no one left the bar. i made more money in tips than ever that night. those are memories we have. the ron goldman and nichole brown simpson families. >> bill: whether it's law, culture, sports, race in america, it had everything and remember, that trial lasted a year. the jurors deliberated for four hours and it was over.
7:39 am
>> dana: reflections on it. another ivy league school making u turn requiring tests for admission. it provides more opportunities.

>> bill: this election? november could be very close. watch the electoral votes and a particular story happening in nebraska. they might change the way they do things. it matters. or it could matter if the race is riseor tight. if you win the state you get two votes. three congressional districts and proportional. these three con gretchenals districts if you win the district you get one per district. here is the county map from four years ago.
7:45 am
donald trump swept the state. won it by 19 points. you see all the red in the victory for trump. he only got four electoral votes and joe biden got one. these are the congressional districts, all right? you got one here, two year, three here. omaha went blue and that's where joe biden picked up that one electoral vote. as of now in our power rankings you need 270 to win. we'll watch that play out november 5th. trump at 251, biden 241. still today 46 in the toss-up category and see in the end what the governor does in nebraska and what the state legislature does. it's on hold for the moment and see if their change their longstanding rules very soon. there is this now, check it out. >> i don't care what the media tells you, mr. trump, we support you. >> let me give you a hug. [cheers and applause]
7:46 am
>> thank you. i will tell my mama, thank you. >> dana: former president trump on the campaign trail getting a big hug from one supporter during a stop at a chick-fil-a in atlanta. she is the founder of a grassroots political group. >> people, of course, we're from all four institutions with the aec, the local hbc community in atlanta and they all showed up in support of him. it's crazy to see people in an uproar, all four institutions were legitimately represented. >> dana: i want to show some polls for a look at this. it's pretty interesting. support now for biden with black students is 71%. it was 91% in 2020. president trump took those ten points in his column.
7:47 am
biden amongst black men, he had 87% support in 2020. it is now 57 support with trump at 30% now where he was at 12%. black women also ticking up but not quite as much. now, leo, republicans and donald trump don't need to win all of the black vote in order to get to the 270 that bill was just talking about. if they get just a little bit more, then they would be able to win. if they are able to do that in the long run going forward it could put democrats back on their heels. >> first of all, if the democrat party does not receive 85 to 90% of the black vote there is no democratic party. that photograph of that black woman with president trump is a nightmare for the media. they sent out a false narrative that trump is a racist.
7:48 am
that photograph shows a disconnect as to what the left wing media is portraying. news flash, trump is likable. black people like trump and those numbers that you just pointed out reflect a shift from the democrat party to donald trump and you can see a lot more of that because that's what is happening. everyone knows four years ago i made the switch with joe biden said if you don't vote for me you ain't black. i'm still black and i'm voting for trump. >> dana: your point about the images is what i was talking about last night. that sticks in your mind, one of the reasons photo journalism is so important and they play a real role in history. play a role in the campaigns, too. so far you do not see joe biden able to have that kind of interaction with people. >> dana, when you see trump at these rallies. i've seen him. those people are there because they care. they like him. you don't see that with joe
7:49 am
biden and with the democrats. they are controlled settings among democrats. trump is out with the people. what is so amazing that i have seen from the left wing media is that they are in denial of trump's popularity. he is leading in the polls. >> dana: beyond being likable, is there a policy difference that is driving these numbers? >> absolutely, dana. i will tell you right now. this will hurt the democrats. trump did more in those four years for black americans. lowest unemployment. funding the black colleges, also the first step act. blacks prospered under donald trump and they have a comparison between that and the joe biden administration where inflation, crime, and their dislike towards sanctuary cities. see chicago, new york and los angeles. >> dana: leo, thank you for being on with us today and for all of your text messages
