6:01 am
telling us that it wants more fentanyl entering our country. wants the chaos and devastation that resulted from this epidemic and that means more dead americans. that's what we're trying to stop. >> bill: accusing china of mass murder. house lawmakers releasing the bombshell report showing how beijing subsidizes america's fentanyl crisis. >> dana: i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." the house china committee released the report revealing that beijing pays to make the ingredients used in fentanyl giving tax breaks to companies that make it. >> bill: president biden and xi have said it will crack down but is not standing up to its bargain. >> hundreds of thousands of
6:02 am
americans have been killed by this horrible scourge that has been launched against the united states. >> in administration owes us and they owe us big time. we're throwing millions of dollars into education, prevention and awareness. we need more help from this white house. we're not getting it. >> dana: former attorney general bill barr testified yesterday and he joins us on set in a moment. let's go to griff jenkins in washington to give us a report. hi, griff. >> good morning. this report is a sobering wake-up call on china's complicity in the fentanyl epidemic revealing how the ccp is fueling the crisis through subsidies as you mentioned. the ccp provides government subsy zees to prc companies that manufacture fentanyl materials so long as the companies sell them outside china. the subsidies come in the form of rebates for the value added tax. rebates are used to increase exports from china for other
6:03 am
goods. we also learned the chinese government has thwarted u.s. investigation and it comes as dhs secretary mayorkas addressed the severity of the crisis yesterday. >> fentanyl is wreaking tragedy in communities across the country. dhs has interdicted more illicit fentanyl and arrested more individuals for fentanyl-related crimes in the last two fiscal years than the previous five combined. >> what is the administration doing about it? janet yellen was asked about the report yesterday and whether sanctions are warranted and said this. >> i haven't seen that report. we are working with them on fentanyl that was deliverable from the site and we're continuing that work. this isn't about sanctions, it is an area of cooperation. >> this comes as ice director
6:04 am
testifies on the hill today and is expected to be asked about this report and the more than 24,000 chinese nationals who have crossed our border in the last six months. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: let's get into it now. bill barr. janet yellen says it's an area of cooperation. >> this is a bipartisan committee. members of both parties signed off on this report. i don't blame people for trying to cooperate with china and trying to negotiate. we did and i don't blame this administration for trying. it is clear they aren't acting in good faith. when they do something it's window dressing. they are knee deep in this. the question all along are they bystanders watching this traffic just don't want to interfere because we're the ones being hurt or are they active? it's clear from this report that they are knee deep in it.
6:05 am
they are complicit in the trafficking and driving the trafficking. they are incentivizing the trafficking. >> dana: why do you think they're doing that >> a big part is strategic. that is, they believe this weakens the united states. it tells the world that we're a decadent society and disciplined society like china is the future. and it distracts us. and so if it's bad for us, it is good for them. >> bill: do you see any improvement between now and november? >> in the trafficking? no, we have to get much tougher with the chinese. >> bill: it makes it an election issue. >> it should. china and mexico are not cooperating and both complicit and we have to start getting much tougher with them. >> dana: yesterday they seated seven jurors since the trump hush money trial has begun here in new york city. quite a spectacle. quite an event.
6:06 am
i know you think the prosecution seems farfetched maybe is the the best way -- the kindest way i can say that. your thoughts as to how this is going now that it is underway and what you think about it? >> i've said from the beginning this case is an a bomb nation, obviously political. seven years after he pays hush money to try to come up with this case. it is farfetched and they are trying to the predicate it on a federal crime which wasn't prosecuted. they are wrong about it. this was not a campaign contribution. they are just wrong on the law. but to me this shows that the real threat to liberty, the real threat to our system, are the excesses of the progressive left. they are perverting the system of justice and that's where the danger lies. the corruption and subversion of our associations by the left. >> bill: i heard you call this hush money case outrageous. and i also know you've been asked many times and had
6:07 am
disagreements with the former president. he is the presumptive nominee and we assume he will be the nominee. will you support him in 2024? >> given two bad choices it is my duty to pick the person who would do the least harm to the country and i will support the republican ticket. the real danger to democracy is the progressive agenda and while trump -- i said trump may be playing russian roulette but continuation of the biden administration is national suicide in my opinion. >> dana: yesterday the supreme court heard a case about obstruction charges against some of the january 6th riot defendants but an impact possibly on a future legal event that president trump will have to deal with. listen to justice neil gorsuch yesterday. >> would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify? would a heckler in today's
6:08 am
audience qualify or at the state of the union address? would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify? >> dana: the best explaining legal arguments and where justices are going to the rest of us not lawyers. what should we know? >> before i became a.g. a wrote a 19-page memo on this toying. a lot of people were raising this when i was confirmed. i did it as a private citizen and i sadekar eid much too far and has to be restricted to the repairment of evidence. it can't be used the way they are using it. it is very comprehensive. now several courts have agreed and i think the supreme court is going to rule that way. >> bill: if that's the case you have hundreds of january 6th defendants who are in jail and the whole idea about this obstruction charge is borne out of the enron disaster.
6:09 am
jack smith has a count against the former president for obstruction. what would be the end result of that? >> he will try to differentiate that. things like a riot, i think they are going to be let free if the court rules the way i think they should rule on the law. that's not to say i think the rioters were justified. this was a misapplication of the law. what smith will argue, the effort to enlist the false panels involved the tampering of evidence to present to congress and therefore this could be covered by that provision. he will try to differentiate his situation from its application to demonstrators. >> bill: a week from tomorrow we get the immunity arguments. like to talk about that the next time around. >> dana: thank you for being here. have a great day. the heads of two ivy league universities have already stepped down over anti-semitism on their campuses. four months after an explosive house hearing that led to
6:10 am
resignations the president of columbia university is set to get her turn in front of the same committee. lydia hu is following this for us. >> columbia university president reportedly missed the last hearing due to a scheduling conflict. now all eyes will be on her this morning as she is answering questions from lawmakers. she previewed what she plans to tell the committee writing anti-semitism and calls for genocide have no place at a university and added calling for the genocide of a people whether they are israelis or palestinians, jews, muslims or anyone else, has no place in a university community. that a reference to the exchange former harvard president claudine gay had with congresswoman stefanik in the last hearing. remember this? >> calling for the genocide of jews violates harvard code of conduct, correct? >> again, it depends on the context. >> it does not depend on the
6:11 am
context. the answer is yes and this is why you should resign. >> gay later resigned along with the president of the university of pennsylvania liz mcgill and now stefanik promises to hold columbia accountable. she wrote this. since the horrific october 7th terrorist attack anti-semitism and anti-semitic attacks at columbia have been common place and egregious. >> certainly with her failure to condemn anti-semitism, yes, that is going to be exposed in full at this hearing no matter how much preparation, the facts are there. this is rampant on columbia and one of the dens of anti-semitism that's the worst on college campuses. >> now this hearing is coming on the heels of a new report from the anti-defamation league issued a campus anti-semitism report card after it examined 85 schools and assigned grades ranging from a through f.
6:12 am
columbia got a d in its effort to combatant i semitism. >> dana: an important story, thank you. [siren] >> bill: it is that season yet again. sirens sounding in the state of iowa. tornado touching down. that wasn't the only one. we'll show you what happened there in a moment. plus this. >> president biden: i learned a lot here in scranton. i learned that money doesn't determine your worth. my grandfather would tell me joey, nobody -- nobody is more worthy than you and everyone is your equal. >> dana: the biden campaign going all in on pennsylvania. why the state could make or break his chances for re-election. >> the mayor of denver colorado cutting police funding to get more funding to migrants. how is that decision going and you how it may have just landed in court.

6:19 am
the president is heading to steel country today after calling to triple tariffs on chinese steel and aluminum in what officials deny is a move aimed at shoring up union support. instead framing it as an effort to protect american manufacturing from unfair overseas trade practices. listen. >> the president's approach is strategic, balanced and targeted where we're working with our partners and allies who also are feeling the effects of china's overcapacity and artificially low priced exports. >> but any tariff hike will ultimately be passed to consumers. after the federal reserve yesterday dampened prospect for interest rates cuts soon citing stubborn inflation. there is concern that upping the tariff to 25% could make steel and aluminum more expensive.
6:20 am
administration officials today are down playing the announcement's impact. at the same time promoting it. >> in many ways, this is a targeted intervention that shouldn't have much impact at all on inflation. it is the case that the amount of chinese steel that we import is actually quite small at this point. >> the pittsburgh-based united steelworkers union proposed the measures and endorsed him last month. katherine tai will have the final say and how important pennsylvania is to the election. trump made support for the steel industry a key pillar of his 2016 and 2020 campaigns and recently chided biden for proposed merger of the steel manufacturers. biden has opposed it. shareholders voted to improve it
6:21 am
and still under investigation for antitrust compliance and scrutiny chafes against biden's goal with tighter alignment with japan as a counter balance to china. china might respond to biden's calls with new levies of its own. that's what happened when trump did the same thing. inflation has been the achilles heel of biden's poor marks on his handling of the economy. >> dana: we'll pay attention to that. thanks, jacque. if you have more about the economy and politics a great conversation with the big money show host as brian brenberg. he was on this week's perino on podcast. min nice, that guy. >> bill: ground break than cancer treatment giving hope to some of the most vulnerable pediatric patients. we're live in atlanta home to the cdc and more. what did you find out? >> cancer treatment involves a
6:22 am
lot of trial and error. researchers at florida international university believe they have come up with a way to eliminate some of the guesswork combining dna analysis with extensive drug testing they can see within just days how small samples of a patient's living cancer cells respond to numerous potential treatment options. >> tested over 120 fda approved drugs on the patients cancer cells and we did it within a week giving results back to the doctors quickly and that enables to change the course of their treatment. >> logan general was part of a small study involving children with advanced relapse cases of cancer. his doctor says the research made his treatment more effective by actually eliminating some of the drugs he was taking. >> one of his medications is very toxic to the heart and what
6:23 am
our testing showed us was that the regimen without that medication worked just as well with the tomb are cells as it did with it. >> according to study results 83% of patients whose treatment was guided by the fiu lab team showed improvement, including logan, who is now eight years old and cancer free for more than two years. >> i don't think my son would be here without this study and i really -- i don't think he would be here without it. we just would have been giving him the same thing. >> the study focused on children, fiu researchers say their method also will work in adults and they're doing clinical trials in collaboration with cleveland clinic. >> bill: jonathan serrie in atlanta on that today. thank you. >> you can't hide. we charge you with genocide.

6:30 am
star. fox news cameras caught yesterday a group of at least 150 migrants who came up to the texas side of the border. the day before that two groups of 100. el paso sector usually sees less than 1,000 per day. yesterday that number jumped to more than 1400. more alarming border sheriffs say members of two dangerous south american gangs are mixing in the population of those coming across. we're talking about the ecuador and peruvian off shoot of the venezuelan gang. chief jason owens said they apprehended a migrant with take toast of the gang. border patrol has made more than 270 gang-related apprehensions. >> these are organized crime -- big organizations and their number one things are violent crime, human trafficking, human sex trafficking is big among
6:31 am
these groups. >> live pictures with the fox news flight team. a group that arrived at the texas border of 30 people. but it is whack-a-mole out here. you have scattered groups arriving at the texas border in small clusters and it really puts a lot of burden on these guardsmen out here trying to keep an eye on them and control them as they approach the border here. that is the situation. two different groups. those who want to come to a border like this and turn themselves in and go through the process. if you get a little further west of here in new mexico is where you have more of the people trying to join the ranks of the gotaways. >> dana: mike tobin in el paso as it continues. thank you. >> it wasn't for all because had a unique benefit to the country or humanitarian need as the law requires. we have capacity problems.

>> bill: lindsey graham with the murder of laken riley. he said the migrant was paroled in the country illegally. dhs confirmed that he was given parole for lack of room. immigration parole should only be granted for an urgent reason or significant public benefit, end quote. >> this is part of the rather perverse universe we find ourselves in. google -- free speech does not include disrupting others from speaking and doesn't include taking a salary, going in and stopping your business because you have a few things you want to get off your chest. >> dana: google employees protesting the company's work with the israeli government and watch here as they sat in the sit-in in the ceo's office. >> we charge you with genocide.
6:33 am
>> we charge you with genocide. >> dana: that's pretty low energy anyway. they staged the sit-in and occupied office eaves in two different locations in new york city and sunny veil, california. anti-israel protests across the country. m marc thesen joins us now. here is what the google spokesperson said. they said a small number of employee protestors disrupted a couple of our locations physically impeding other employees work and accessing our facilities. a clear violation of our policies and we'll investigate and take action. these employees were put on administrative leaves and access to our systems was cut. i would be surprised if they get let back in, marc. >> i don't understand why they think they should be employed walking into the ceo's office and accuse him of genocide and where people get the idea you
6:34 am
have a first amendment right to your company's policies. there is low unemployment in this country, plenty of jobs available. find another job. by the way, this is not the first time this has happened at google. in 2019 thousands of google employees signed a letter protesting their work with the pentagon saying that -- demanding that google agree never to make weapons of war of any kind. 2018 microsoft employees accused their ceo being a war profiteer and protested working with ice to deport illegal migrants. so it is not just israel. they think america is evil and worthy of boycott. if you feel that way work somewhere else and do something else. you don't have a right to be employed by a genocidal war profiteer, why would you want to work for them anyway?
6:35 am
>> dana: monday we saw all of these anti-israel protests across the country. actually impeding all sorts of things, business, commerce, emergency vehicles. one organizer of the monday demonstration in california said today is proof that people are going to fight and keep escalating until there is a permanent cease-fire. they aren't persuading anybody to join their cause but they are disrupting a lot of things. the point here, marc, they aren't going to stop. >> here is the thing. you don't have a right to protest your own employer in the first amendment. first amendment doesn't give you a right to protest on someone else's property as does the law students in berkeley found out after they protested at a dinner at the dean's home or not a right to stop traffic. putting aside the efficacy in terms of convincing everybody. nobody in the bridge is more pro-hamas today than they were
6:36 am
stuck there for hours. but you are impeding emergency vehicles, you will kill somebody. remember how outraged when chris christie in 2013 shut down a lane on the george washington bridge for political purposes and said it is an out rage. he could have gotten people killed. what about these people? why did they let them do it for hours? in florida and miami ron desantis had the people off street in 15 minutes. if you are going to do that you get dragged off and sent to prison. >> dana: i think about the people who had to get out of their cars and walk about a mile in order to get to the airport at o'hare. i would be seething and would probably never get over it. pay attention. it won't end anytime soon and we have the conventions coming up this summer as well. thanks, marc, have a good day. >> looking forward to chicago. >> bill: live from capitol hill

6:45 am
salary. the contract pays 340,000 over three years. a tiny fraction of her male counterparts. carley shimkus and tom shillue are here. $338,000, over four years according to the wnba's collective bargaining agreement. an nfl quarterback said so much more. if you look at the nba draft first pick from last year, number one pick secured a $55,000,004-year contract. i know it's very stark. very different but i also totally get it. >> yeah. i think russell wilson gets it, too. that might be a tweet for likes in popularity. president biden tweeted about this saying women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all. right now we're seeing that even if you are the best, women are not paid their fair share.
6:46 am
i also think that the president is smart enough to know the difference between salaries is reflective of how popular the sport is, how many eyeballs, contracts, ticket sales. because of the popularity around caitlin clark, i hope she elevates the wnba so more people go to the games and the salaries increase. right now it is not reflective on how many people are going to the games or watching them on tv, either. >> bill: tom, you have the honor of commenting. the fans should calm down. look to caitlin clark. my life won't change very much. i have my agents, my endorsement deals, i will have them in the wnba and the key word that you said collective bargaining. the wnba is in its early stages and growing and have an agreement and if you were to have -- caitlin clark can't be a free agent and negotiate a huge
6:47 am
salary. if she could it would hurt the wnba's ability to pay other people. collective bargaining is a good deal. she is only making $7five grand a year and she is a star but that is all good. >> bill: collective bargaining 101. >> dana: same with women's soccer and they start complaining about it >> i love the olympics and human interest stories we learn about the people and the sports you only think about every four years. the guy who dedicated his life to luge and before they show the event he is working at home depot. that's because no one is really watching luge except for during the olympics and why you have to get a second job and that's the guy. it has to do with how many people are watching sport. >> dana: funny they complain about this but they don't

complain about men taking away women's sports? >> bill: 10:00 caitlin clark will talk since she was drafted and probably be asked about it. she might quote me. >> dana: now we go to tom shillue of fox news. stand by. stick around for this. you will want to see what i have for you next. >> dana reads sports. >> mitchell to three. tops it right to him. no, to lyle. >> dana: that's the sweet pace of revenge. kings beat the warriors in the nba play-in tournament. 118-94 giving the kings payback after losing to their rivals in the first round of the play office. they move on to face the new

choice given the influx of migrants to denver that was receiving the largest number per capita of any other city in the country and also blames washington. >> there was a bipartisan bill to do that that failed in the house. i think what we found at that point whether we would like the federal government to do it or not it was clear it wouldn't happen in this congress in the next seven months and we had to come up with a solution. >> police department is not alone. every single department in the city of denver saw its budget cut including the mayor's office. >> dana: the rec centers. i heard about that one from family back home. >> bill: let's get reaction from back home. radio host ross kaminsky. the county commissioner to the cost to douglas county between denver and colorado springs. roll it. >> we heard many months ago that 40,000 venezuelan migrants were

being bused to denver from texas at a cost of $120 million to the city and county of denver. douglas county we won't be cutting services to our residents. >> bill: there you have it. the mayor saying don't worry about it. what's the truth? >> well, the truth is we -- i say we, they invited this on us and themselves. here we are in this situation. last time we talked, bill, i mentioned it is easy to say you are a sanctuary city and hard to actually be one. the pain got to be so much, the financial pain dana mentioned the rec centers not planting flowers. now we have the stuff with all these budget cuts and even in a city as welcoming as denver, maybe we've been a little too welcoming. the people are getting tired of it. i also reacting to something in alicia's report there. as a taxpayer i find it frustrating the mayor of denver

was willing to spend $180 million as long as he thought he was going to get a chunk of it back from the federal government. from other people's money. it doesn't seem how this place should operate. >> the mayor is saying you are wrong. ross. city denver's adjustment of the police budget was crafted with safety leaders and mayor johnson to insure there would be no impact to the department's public services and no officers would be taken off the streets. total migrants served by the city almost 41,000, ross. >> yeah. so i'm not claiming that there will be fewer cops on the street than now because of these budget cuts. he is being a little clever with his words. it is entirely possible that denver -- probable denver should have more cops on the street than now so if that's the plan and now they aren't going to do
6:59 am
that, then it is a little misleading to say we aren't cutting back officers on the street. you have the same number but you planned to have more that's not great. i'm not only focusing on the police. it is almost every department in denver is being cut because we as a city and as a state that's the lawsuit you are referencing with the douglas county commissioners are suing the state, not the city, for state-passed laws that say that local law enforcement cannot communicate with federal law enforcement for the removal of illegal aliens. that will be an interesting lawsuit. >> bill: the problem is it won't stop. mike tobin is in el paso 30 minutes ago and it is just come on in. >> pretty remarkable to see what you guys cover, the employee of the city of denver talking to all these illegal aliens in denver saying you guys should go somewhere else and a couple of days ago denver sent
