7:00 am
is against the law, i don't care if you are a u.s. citizen or you are not a u.s. citizen. it doesn't matter. your immigration doesn't matter you are breaking texas law. >> bill: we don't see a lot of people like you take action. time for one more here. the public defender said this about you and others. she said i find it amazing they were able to indict 140 misdemeanor cases overnight. yet they have hundreds of felony cases waiting to be charged for more than a year. they can claim all they want that it isn't about politics and it is not about immigration laws, but their actions scream otherwise. have a few seconds for you to respond to that. >> she doesn't have hundreds of cases waiting to be indicted. our indictment system is on track and doing good keeping our cases go. we're doing a very good job. >> bill: we'll watch it for the next round then. bill hicks, thank you for your
7:01 am
time. d.a. in el paso. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> right in front of us, guys. violent tornadoes. >> dana: severe weather outbreak over the central plains spawning dozens of tornadoes leaving five people dead. destroying homes and causing damage. the worst outbreak of tornadoes this year. special response teams are surveying the hard hit areas as cleanup and recovery get underway. we're live in nebraska, but first. intense anti-israel protests overrung college campuses across the country sewing division among students, faculty and communities nationwide. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. how are you doing? >> bill: are you all right? >> dana: second hour. >> bill: nice to see you. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. no longer limited to big cities or ivy league schools.
7:02 am
it is affecting americans in just about every part of the country. loud and disruptive demonstrations taking place on college campuses. we've seen in public squares and on busy highways. dividing democrats who stand on opposite sides of the issue. minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar stoking divisions and sparking outrage visiting protestors at columbia university. she was labeling jewish students as either pro-genocide or anti-genocide when she said this. >> i think it is really unfortunate that people don't care about the fact that all jewish kids should be kept safe and we should not have to tolerate anti-semitism or big bigotry for students. >> dana: they called her comments abhorrent gas lighting to impute that jewish people are somehow at fault for being
7:03 am
harassed and menaced with signs and slogans calling for their own extermination. several students at columbia university have been suspended and wait until you hear his story. aishah hosni is live in washington as the protests drive a wedge in the democratic party. >> get ready. that divide is going to be on display this week when the house votes on congressman mike lawlor's anti-semitism bill. it happens this week allowing the department of education to apply a broader definition of anti-semitism on college campuses and then defund any schools not enforcing it. it is expected to get bipartisan support from pro-israel democrats. republicans have found a wedge issue that splits democrats as protests smolder nationwide. yesterday senator fetterman took another swipe at pup tent for
7:04 am
hamas college protests coming as congresswoman omar's comments about some jewish students being pro-genocide without naming her congressman torres hit backs writing this. branding jews -- bernie sanders side stepping when he was asked if he is comfortable with her words. >> i take the essential point that ilhan made is that we do not want to see anti-semitism in this country. and i think the word genocide is something that is being determined by the international court of justice. >> it does not end there. aoc and moskowitz are going back an forth on x after he questioned her stance on anti-semitism. he called his remarks shameful. bowman told constituents the pro-israel lobby group apec wants to call me the n word but know they can't get away with
7:05 am
it. emotions are expected to run really high this week, guys, with the upcoming vote that axios is reporting the democratic whip advised members to vote no on finding that jerry nadler is against it. >> dana: we'll pay attention to you and your reporting this week. >> bill: george washington university now, david spunt stands by live for what is happening there now. david, good morning. >> good morning to you. at the moment things are quiet here. you can hear birds chirping, cars moving around. the big presence of tents at university yard at the george washington university campus. while things may be a little quiet now, typically they escalate at night. a little bit later on the weekends and certainly in the overnight hours. speaking to some of the people out here that are in these tents, they have been here for several days saying they have no signs of leaving. we have some video overnight showing how some of this stuff escalates at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. the metropolitan police
7:06 am
department was called out here several days ago but has yet to physically remove anyone concerned about some of the optics of removing because at this point, bill and dana, this has been a non-violent protest. there has been no violence at this point. some students have been suspended. the president of the school says the protestors need toggles where. gw officials support free speech but it has gone too far. the president there says free expression and activism are not unlimited. it violates our rules of conduct and behavior appeared the actions of some protestors are highly offensive to many members of our community and jeopardizing to meet the priorities of the community and hateful language has no place on our campus. over the weekend fox spoke to a senior at the school. watch this? >> i have escaped from china when i was 12 and to be exact,
7:07 am
oppression always starts with hatred and hatred always time and time again a lot of times in history started with anti-semitism and what we're seeing on our college campus now in front of our door steps and it's very sad. >> there is a law enforcement presence on site. these protestors tell fox news they have no thoughts of leaving at this point and with graduation right around the corner we get into the commencement season in a few weeks around the country. clearly university officials are trying to figure out how to weigh that seeing what happened at usc in los angeles cancelling the main commencement ceremony there. >> bill: a lot of wild cards. thank you, david spunt in d.c. [shouting] >> dana: devastating situation unfolding at the university of southern california where anti-israel demonstrators have forced administrators to cancel
7:08 am
the school's main commencement ceremony. the university blaming safety concerns after anti-israel demonstrators invade the campus allowing the protestor to override of time of joy and celebration. this woman is a senior and she is with her mother. if i could start with you, this the call for number two here. this is one of the situations where the "wall street journal" summed it up well. you enter college in isolation during covid and you leave among protests. the class that missed out on fun. what was it like when you found out the graduation would be canceled? >> it was devastating. i was sitting in the classroom doing a final review session when i got the email from the provost. it came to the point where my eyes began to water, i was so distraught i had to ask the professor to excuse me.
7:09 am
i was heartbroken. everything i worked for is being taken away. >> bill: and i don't know if the mayor of your town is really jumping on your side of this argument. here was karen bass on cnn. i'll play this and ask you about it. >> well actually, they didn't cancel everything. the main graduation is canceled but the individual schools have graduations as well. >> do you support that? >> i believe that was a decision that they had to make. that is a movement that is taking place but my focus in los angeles has really been on the 46,000 people that are sleeping on the street, who are homeless. we have people on the street dying three to five a day and that is my focus. >> bill: is that answer acceptable? >> absolutely not. because these kids have worked hard and yes, their commencement was canceled. they have other graduations but
7:10 am
at no point are they having speakers or that special feeling that they need to feel that day. >> dana: you went down to ucla. one of your friends was attacked, her head was split open. >> yeah. >> dana: do you physically feel unsafe on campus? >> 1,000%. over the last few weeks we've seen protests, we've seen -- yesterday was eye opening when her head was split open and we called 911. they told us that they didn't feel safe enough to come and help her. how are we supposed to feel safe on our campus if the people who are supposed to help and protect us aren't there? >> bill: you are iranian jewish and immigrated here decades ago. i imagine you are proud of america. that's my assumption. correct me if i'm wrong. there was an invitation that went out to the valedictorian to
7:11 am
speak and that invitation has been pulled back. and you believe that speaker has shown anti-semitic tendencies for some time. give us your view of how usc has handled this. >> usc for me with the choice that they made as far as the valedictorian seemed very thoughtless. they did not do their due diligence. they had 100 people who they could have chosen and they chose to have someone who blatantly on their social media shows hate. that becomes the representation of the school. and instead of coming out and saying you know, we made a mistake. we all make mistakes. we chose this person not knowing these things. they chose to stay safety issues. looking on campus, where is that
7:12 am
safety that they promised? >> dana: certainly not there. i want to end this on a high note. tell us what you studied, what you hope to accomplish in your life and where do you see yourself going after this? >> i am a double major in business administration and accounting so i'm set to intern at deloitte this coming summer and hopefully get a full-time job working as an accountant and get my cpa license. >> dana: i can tell you will very successful. if you saw them walking down the street you would think they have obviously mother and daughter or even sisters i would say. >> bill: good luck. something you are really looking forward to. i won't happen. maybe there was a better way for the school handle it and keep things secure. they've made their decision. thank you for coming on today. >> dana: best of luck to you. >> bill: thank you both. >> dana: friday when we had the show we were able to interview sheryl sandberg, the coo of
7:13 am
facebook and then meta. she has done a documentary about what happened on october 7th especially the sexual assaults. i asked her do you want these kids that are protesting to see it? let's play a little bit of that. >> polarized times. people are having trouble when things don't fit into the narrative. look at the university campuses, it's not okay. when you see students yelling at the columbia campus to a jewish student go back to poland or saying october 7th will happen to you. that was just the beginning. they don't say death to israel. they say death to america. >> dana: powerful words from her and her documentary is free to see now on youtube. >> bill: she went to southern israel. saw it with herself and came back with a product a lot of people watched already. 13 past now. saturday night. >> president biden: "new york times" blasted me for actively
7:14 am
and effectively avoiding independent journalists. if that's what it takes for "the new york times" to say i'm active effective, i'm for it. >> joking about a knack for avoiding the press and some would wonder is that a laughing matter? i think peter and jacque would have a view on that. >> dana: the international criminal court is weighing an arrest warrant for israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu. how the u.s. is reportedly responding. plus this. >> got it. >> bill: we have had a string of big ones across the midwest now. deadly storm system yet again. this twister one of many over the weekend. today live look now all hands on deck as cleanup is now underway. this will take some time. we are back on the ground there today as the folks assess the damage in their own lives. >> we walked out of that bathroom and opened the door and just saw the heavens, the skies right above us.

every day millions of people ask, "what is scientology?" here's an idea, what if you just take a look? what if you see for yourself who we are, what we believe and what we stand for? our doors are open to all people, of all faiths, in every corner of the world. so what is scientology?
7:20 am
maybe it's time to look and decide for yourself. >> we were hunkered down in the bathtub. it was scary. you could hear the roof ripping off. >> dana: nebraska homeowners picking up the pieces after a monstrous tornado ripped through their community. it continues today. fox weather's nichole valdez is live of the epicenter of damage in elkhorn, nebraska where they got it in a big way, nichole. >> dana, a miracle here in elkhorn, nebraska, among the damage no one lost their life after the monster tornado tore through this community leaving hundreds of families with
7:21 am
nowhere to go. you will see now the army of volunteers that has dedicated really almost every hour of the last two days to help whether it was a family, friend or even strangers pick up the pieces as their homes in the distance are just a shell of what they once were. nebraska governor declaring a state of emergency for lancaster, washington and right here in douglas county. three of the hardest-hit counties across the state to unlock additional resources for those families who need all the help they can get to recover. he spent the weekend in elkhorn talking to the families reliving the terrifying day that was for so many who took shelter in their basement or who got in their cars to outrun these damaging twisters. not far from here the airfield adjacent to the omaha airport. smaller planes were damaged by what could be a separate twister there. thankfully the airport still
7:22 am
operating as scheduled but a lot of pain, a lot of heartbreak. the good news here is there is no shortage of support whether an extra set of hands or shoulder to lean on as these families navigate a difficult next few weeks, months and potentially years, dana. >> dana: watching behind you, nichole. literally brick by brick carrying cinder blocks, whatever they can. thank you so much for showing us that and for the latest updates on today's severe weather. this storm system is not over. scan the qr code on your screen and download and stream fox weather. >> if we're able to get the hostage deal in place. we're still working at that. hamas has not fully rejected it. it gives you no fighting for six weeks and includes no fighting in rafah. after six weeks of a temporary cease-fire we can get something more enduring in place. >> bill: there is the administration's strategy.
7:23 am
five americans among the hostages held by hamas. one of them seen in a new propaganda video over the weekend. the u.s. and israel await hamas's response to that new hostage proposal that may end the war in gaza with serious concessions by israel. general jack keane with us now. the video came out. five americans, as i said, we can put up their pictures on the screen. do you believe the white house has given these citizens of america enough of a voice throughout this crisis? >> no, i haven't in terms of the exposure of american citizens held hostage. we should have been on this subject from day one and we haven't. i know we've been talking to them, their relatives here in the united states and providing support to them as you would expect our government to do. in terms of giving them voice and making it a major issue to put more pressure on hamas, we haven't been doing that at all.
7:24 am
what has taken place here by hamas in releasing this exploitation of the hostages it is good for their families to see that they are alive, but recognize the strategy here. they took the hostages unprecedented for them to take large hostages and they knew they wanted -- if they used the hostages they could get a cease-fire when things got bad for them. that happened in november. 40 released, about 800 or so palestinian released six week temporary cease-fire. now what hamas has on the table and what they don't want to have happen is the operation in rafah, bill, because that's where their leaders are. and they are remaining effective military organization is in rafah. so this exploitation is designed to put pressure on netanyahu certainly to do what? to give in to their concessions. their concessions are formidable. where they are now, they are
7:25 am
saying they want a permanent cease-fire and removal of all troops before hostages are released. that is protect their leadership and fighting force. they are looking at the international community, widespread condemnation of israel, the biden administration wire brushing prime minister netanyahu on how he is conducting the operation. they think the wind is at their back and they should be able to get more concessions. that's the pressure that is being applied here. >> bill: there is no way israel will agree to that. >> no, they will not agree to it and so our audience understands, israel for several weeks has had a proposal on the table very similar to the november 1st. 40 hostages released, hundreds of palestinians. six week stand down or cease-fire. hamas has rejected it over and over and over again. >> bill: last point here. apparently the international criminal court there are reports
7:26 am
they may draw up an arrest warrant for benjamin netanyahu. we'll see if it goes there. antony blinken is in saudi arabia. >> if we can get a deal between saudi arabia and israel it ends the arab/israely conflict. if you can land this deal i think you will have a lot of republican support in the united states senate for a treaty between saudi arabia and the united states because it would be good for israel. >> bill: a lot there. a big statement. do you think it can happen? >> you know, it definitely can happen. the reason for the hostilities in my view is this deal was getting close to fruition and iran unleashed their proxies to stop it. why is the deal coming together with arabs and israelis? because of the threat of iran. they are the strategic threat and destabilizer in the region.
7:27 am
that's why the arabs want to work with the israelis and also for their own economic benefit given the technology that comes out of israel. but here is the problem. the arabs clearly want hamas destroyed. they won't say that publicly but they know full well that's the cancer that is destabilizing the middle east along with iran. they also want a change in the palestinian leadership, bill, because they know it is corrupt. they won't talk about it that way. that's the truth of it. what they tell people like senator graham and others who visit there. but they also want a palestinian state out of this. and that's going to be the tough issue on the table here with israel going forward. but the potential here, once the kingdom of saudi arabia makes a deal with israel, the other arab states will follow. the middle east will never be the same again because now you will have a u.s.-led coalition with arabs and israel opposing iran. for the first time we'll be able to put maximum pressure on the
7:28 am
iranians. >> bill: it would be history. jack keane, we'll talk soon. >> dana: donald trump's criminal trial keeping him off the campaign trail but not putting a dent in his poll numbers. meanwhile the trial of karen reed is getting underway in massachusetts. she is charged with fatally striking her police officer boyfriend with her s.u.v. and then leaving the scene. why her attorneys maintain she is the one being framed. ok, someone just did laundry... no, i add downy light so the freshness really lasts. yeah, most scented stuff gives me a headache, but this is just right. and i don't like anything. but i like this. get a light scent that lasts with no heavy perfumes or dyes.

7:34 am
right? we got it? waiting. we got it. eight times. here is what i find interesting. 49/43, last time it was 49-45. joe biden spent three days in pennsylvania and it did not move the meter. >> i think it's because, as we've been seeing, the presentation is not impressive. and i think this is what has to worry democrats. if you are thinking things will improve, voters are tuned in now, you have a candidate who most people don't think has the mental capacity to do this job. he is not going to go out there and wow people on the stump, as we've seen for years here. so i think democrats have to be concerned. where is the up side? inflation rising again, average earnings below adjusted for inflation below where they were when president biden took
7:35 am
office. so what is the case you make to the american people? can he make it >> dana: especially when you look at the second one, success or failure of a presidency. 61% believe that biden's presidency has been a failure. they look back fondly at president trump, 55% positive. last week biden said i'll debate trump. a little caveat and debate him. here is what president trump said after court friday about debating biden. watch. >> i just want to say that i've invited biden to debate. he can do it any time he wants including the night. invited him to the courthouse that he has us tied up in. this is all being done through washington. it is a well coordinated attack on a political opponent. we're ready. tell me where. we'll do it at the white house. >> dana: usually if an incumbent is way ahead they might be able to get away with saying they
7:36 am
won't debate. with these kinds of numbers it doesn't look like it. >> i think team biden may decide he has to do it. no alternative. if that's the case, what you will see the basically kind of like a boxer who is overmatched. a lot of clutching and grabbing and a lot of interwrappingss. to turn it into a incoherent mess with no clear winner. it is a tough call. you look down the issues and the things people generally decide elections on is bad news for the president. obviously immigration you add to that economy list. >> bill: he had a big satellite radio interview with a big name the other day. saturday night this is how he joked about avoiding the press maybe, some questions, etc. >> president biden: "the new york times" issued a statement blasting me for quote active and effectively avoiding independent
7:37 am
journalists. if that's what it takes to see "the new york times" say i'm active and effective i'm for it. i do interviews with strong, independent journalists who millions of people listen to, like howard stern. >> i'm not sure if stern was tougher than the crowd at msnbc or less tough. you guys were nice to have to have me on the show two years ago when i recommended the president avoid public speaking. part of that was because he had had these disasters. first he says maybe the u.s. and its allies would tolerate a minor incursion in ukraine. putin invades a few weeks later. the bizarre chemical weapons statement off the cuff. i think in a time of crisis, that's appropriate but now for this guy to come back and say i want another term. there is no constitutional obligation. voters naturally expect you to
7:38 am
respond to inquiries, to make your case in public and answer the tough questions. >> dana: in the meantime they called trump a dictator. >> bill: here is senator fetterman saturday night in a hoodie and shorts. if you drop the banner you will see he has bare knees, all right? >> dana: looking good. i don't know. >> bill: with a bow tie. >> it is plastic but ready to party also. >> bill: silver lining. thank you, james. fans believe in the worst as justin bieber's social media takes a mysterious turn. what is going on here? pop singer put on tearful images. we hope all is well with that relationship and we'll see how it goes. >> dana: how do we know it's about that? he could have watched sad videos. >> bill: maybe watching the draft and his team didn't get

>> bill: 17 minutes before the hour. opening statements will begin today in the long-awaited trial of karen reed. she is accused of killing her boyfriend, boston police officer john o'keefe. the twist in the case might be that she insists she is being framed by his fellow officers. molly line is on that trial in massachusetts with the latest from there today.
7:45 am
good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. those opening statements are underway right now inside this courtroom. as you mentioned the trial of karen reed is getting underway. prosecutors are aiming to prove she killed her boyfriend, a boston police officer named john o'keefe. prosecutors claim she hit him with her vehicle, drove away, left him to die in the cold on a snowy january night in 2022. attorneys for this 42-year-old woman are expected to mount a third party culpability defense and argue she was framed. when karen reed arrives at the courthouse, she is greeted by supporters. virtual rally outside. those supporters required to stay 200 feet away due to a buffer zone. she is charged with second degree murder and leaving the scene of a collision in the death of 46-year-old john o'keefe. the off duty police officer found severely injured outside the home of another police
7:46 am
officer in can ton, massachusetts. prosecutors say reed hit o'keefe with her vehicle after a night of drinking and drove away. reed claims she dropped him off for a friend's house starting a search for him hours later when he didn't come home. defense attorneys say others caused o'keefe's death and conspired with investigators to plant evidence and cast blame on an innocent woman. a website has facilitated a way for supporters to give hundreds of thousands to her legal defense fund. this trial could take six to eight weeks. the witness list on both sides rather extensive. bill, back to you. >> bill: molly line with a preview for what goes down starting today. thank you. >> dana: ford motor company reports it lost $132,000 for every electric vehicle it sold during the first quarter of this year. abby hornacek and brian brenberg are here. first quarter of 2024, ev's
7:47 am
sold, 10,000 down from 2023. revenue down 84% from 2023 and predicted loss this year another $5 billion loss. is this possible? >> it is possible because people aren't buying the cars. they sold 10,000, down 20% from last year and down 84% in terms of revenue. that means they sold fewer cars and had to cut the prices on the cars that they did sell. just electric vehicles just to get people into these cars and their losses per car are going up. people don't want these. ford should be building things that people want like hybrids and more gas-powered cars. they aren't. which means the rest of america is losing out on what ford could be doing if they were doing what america wanted them to. that's the sad part. >> bill: commercial break
7:48 am
rivieran makes a high-end s.u.v. they lose $80,000 for every car they sell. we're talking ford, gm, election year politics. there is a wide open issue for someone like trump to exploit. for another day what do you think, abby? >> in ford's case a traditional auto automaker. you are also considering the hundreds of millions of dollars you spend on research and development. all that being said tesla, a well-oiled machine at this point. figure of speech. not oil. a well-charged machine at this point. you look at tesla and recorded it first drop in sales as well. you have to wonder if maybe people don't want to spend $40,000 on a base model of one of these e.v.s. >> dana: and super inconvenient to charge it and everything. you had an example of that.
7:49 am
>> i had to drive somebody to the grocery store overnight and it was charging overnight and forgot it was there. a gas uber to get your electric vehicle. very complicated. >> dana: the biden administration had regulations on coal-fired power plants and make sure those folks won't ever be able to charge their vehicle. chatgpt, a.i., it might be sexist. so chat ggt for secretary is only women. investor only men. >> you and i aren't up there under secretaries. chatgpt has been proven it has shown bias in the past. interestingly enough, i don't know if this is bias coming from a.i. in this instance. i think it is the bias of society. if a.i. is aggregating all the data across the web, you look at
7:50 am
the data. only 10.6% of ceos of fortune 500 companies are female. same thing with university presidents and women who sits on board. 30 and 33%. >> dana: increasing. >> bill: it's a society problem. >> i agree with you in one sense. a.i. gives you what it gets fed. it gets fed everything on the web. the web might give you data. it might not be right but it will never give you wisdom. >> dana: very sound. that's deep for me on a monday morning. i like it very much. thank you so much for being here, both of you. have a great week. >> bill: breaking news up the road here on the island of manhattan in new york. columbia university has apparently announced moments ago it will give the student protestors on campus a 2:00 deadline today to leave the encampment or be suspended. so that's three hours and change on the clock, 2:00 east coast

-- >> dana: the new student loan application leaving college applicants in limbo. as of late january only 700,000 seniors had even applied. down nearly 60% from the same time last year it means that many students still don't know how much they'll be getting in student loans. this is delaying a lot of decisions. harry jackson is one of the people impacted by all this. tell us about your stepson, your experience and how frustrated you are to try to get this kid where where he wants to go to purdue. he has been accepted. you need to find out if it's finally possible. >> the continued delayed roll-out of this system. it has been delayed month after month after month and now june 1st. josh has been accepted to purdue, one of the top computer science programs in the country and make the dream come true. he doesn't have an idea what the financial aid package will be.
7:58 am
being as i.t. professional it is frustrating knowing this was foreseeable. a foreseeable problem that they would have with this roll-out. considering all the substantial changes they made to the infrastructure. >> dana: have you reached out to say is there anyone at the department of education? do you think they understand the urgency that you feel as a family? >> well, i think they know the urgency. i believe they just had a change in leadership that occurred over with weekend due to the failed roll-out. the same fail-out like obamacare. a lot of families are impacted by this. we have no idea where our children are going to go. dependent on financial aid. we're one of them in limbo. >> dana: the person leaving. they might be familiar to some people. richard cordray. he showed he has no regrets. federal student aid chief leaves after an historic run of

failure. that was in the "wall street journal." so one of the other things i was thinking about is the peer pressure, where are you going to college and what are you doing? you have kids like your stepson accepted to the school he wants to go to, purdue. he wants to go into computer science, but unable to say i have it nailed down and have to think about the summer before their freshman year. >> it is agonizing. a lot of stress. typically when you have your high school graduation you are able to celebrate with your classmates. where are you going to go? having to say look, you know, not having to know where you are going to go to know what options are available, what future holds, what the future holds for you. it is inexcusable and agonizing for thousands of students across the country. >> dana: you are a great father and with you on his side he will figure it out. i'm sorry you have to go through
8:00 am
it along with so many other families. the biden administration got off scot-free on this one and hope it gets settled for everyone soon. >> bill: good man. good luck. before we go, on a monday, a wild sight. >> dana: what is going on lately? >> bill: four zebras got loose in seattle. they were in a trailer on a drive to montana. some folks pitched in to help wrangle them. three have been safely recovered. one is still oz the loose. i think it will be difficult to hide with black and white stripes in a green tree field. >> dana: did you see the elephant on the loose last week in montana? something is going on that happens in threes. what will we have next? stay tuned. we might tell you tomorrow. harris faulkner is next. >> harris: breaking news on the anti-israel protests gripping campuses across america.
