yeah, we need to do more. president trump made a promise to the american people. the american people put him on the top issue of immigration and law enforcement. i've not been satisfied with numbers. we all want more numbers. >> john: border czar says more needs to be done to fully implement president trump's immigration crackdown. he is not the only top trump official looking for new ways to light a fire under ice. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into its second hour. this is going to be, sandra, the most jam packed 60 minutes we've seen in recent memory. >> sandra: good to be with you. i'm sandra smith. 3,000 per day. that's how many arrests are reportedly now calling for. griff jenkins has more on this. has anyone at ice reacted to these new proposals? >> reporter: great question,

sandra. no official statement yet. to put this in context, this goal is roughly double what they're currently doing. fox has just learned moments ago some leadership changes within the agency are currently under way, which ice says are intended to realign skill sets as they ramp up efforts with the bosses clearly unsatisfyed. steven miller setting this goal of 3,000 arrests per day. >> we can't take the risk of letting these biden illegals roam around freely so the next american daughter can get raped, the next american kid can get murdered, the next american family can get splintered and torn apart by people who came into this country unchecked, uncontrolled, unvetted, uninvited by the american people. >> reporter: this as ice is already working around the clock ramping up raids in place like nantucket and martha's vineyard in a sting that netted 40 arrests including an ms-13 gang member and child sex offender. one democrat wants to bring back

the abolish ice rhetoric. that emerging in an aoc campaign letter. a white house spokes person blasting it saying aoc democrat party leader calls for abolishing ice. the brave women of ice get dangerous criminals off our streets and protect american citizens. why does aoc want to stop that? mean time, increasing to this 3,000 per day goal will require more money and resources. makes you think of that $147 million board security funds in the big big beautiful bill sitting in the senate. sandra? >> sandra: some lofty goals. griff, thank you. >> we need congress to act. i want to thank the house. they put $12.5 billion into the big beautiful bill that's going to go toward this infrastructure project. that won't be enough. i'm concerned that we could have more of newarks and again why

it's so important that we actually begin this bill with the money congress is going to sends us. >> john: transportation secretary sean duffy with the warning of more newarks if he doesn't get the funding he says he needs to overhaul the air traffic control system. it's plagueed by outages at airports across the country as americans get ready for the busy summer travel season. secretary sean duffy joins us now. mr. secretary, good to have you with us. it's been a minute. we want to talk to you about a road trip you're planning on taking this summer with your family. first let's start with newark airport. the faa has limited the number of flights going in and out of that airport which caused the ceo of united airlines to say things are finally working. listen to what he said. >> we've already seen that leisure traffic has come back. we did take a big hit, but the leisure traffic came back. business is lagging a little. they're the best they're probably ever gonna be. because the faa has done -- we've been asking for a decade.

>> john: things are working better according to united airlines ceo. it's just an interim fix. you've gotta have more of an overhaul and, as you said in that speech, you fear that there are more newarks out there. tell us about it. >> yeah. united has done a great job navigating newark with us. they have the most traffic in and out of the newark airport. normally there's 50 flights taking off in and out of newark. right now we're at 28. when the runway comes online in the middle of june, we're gonna get up to 34 an hour. but we have new telecom that was just laid by verizon. they did a great job. they did it quickly. the ceo is fantastic. we're testing it. that's gonna get flipped on by next month or early july. we have a controller problem. we don't have enough controllers to control the air space.

we have some that are in training now but we're 3,000 short nationwide. until we fix that and fix all the tellecoms in the country, w need to -- [ inaudible ] >> sandra: you are a hero for being able to talk over those sirens. mr. secretary, great to have you on the program. i'll ask you the question i feel like i hear everywhere right now. are we safe to fly? i mean, if you're suggesting there could be more newarks out there, that means there could be more outages and there could be flights at risk in the sky. how do you answer that question? >> we have a number of what i'll call blips. about 100, 200 a week in the telecom system. we have redundancies in place so the system is safe. we have systems in place for controllers and pilots. so i feel like we're safe.

if we don't fix this now, what's going to come if you have multiple newarks at the same time? you lose your telecom. >> sandra: what does happen? what does happen? >> well, what happens is we shut down air space or reduce traffic because the number one thing, we let people travel safely. i want you to travel on time. i don't want you delayed. but the most important thing is you get to where you want to go. that's why you see in newark we're at only 28 flights an hour so it's slowed down. this is a huge part of our economy. we move products and people and goods through air space. this is, by far, the most important infrastructure project in all the country to repweuldz this air traffic control system in america. >> john: as you point out, mr. secretary, there's two problems here. the aging equipment that needs to be overhauled. then there's the chronic shortage of air traffic controller. we hadz an air traffic controller on. he points the finger of blame on

the obama administration. listen to what he said. >> the staffing issue pertains to 2013 when idiologs within the obama administration eliminated over 3,000 well trained collegiate trained initiative students who were ready to enter the work force. >> john: the obama administration did eliminate the merit based system for hiring air traffic controllers to go with a different system to try to bring more diversity, equity and inclusion into the system. as michael pierson said, 3,000 qualified candidates were booted from the program and had to start all over again. has that problem lingered since then? >> so, john, there's a number of problems that have brought us to this point. the pending lawsuit in regard to those controllers with the faa so i don't want to comment on that. also covid made us short as well. i've increased the pipeline of students coming into the academy.

the best and brightest, the highest scores get in first. then i'm asking current air traffic controllers who have been on the job for 25 years to stay on the job. we'll pay them a 20% bonus for them to stay every year beyond their eligible date of retirement. if i increase the pipeline of new people coming in, i can keep those controllers from retiring that's going to make up the difference as we get more controllers into the system. this has been a problem for the long time. the biden administration didn't do anything to fix it, right? all of these problems were well known. they did nothing to make it better. we're going to fix it. we're going to work with congress to make sure we don't pass this problem off to the next administration. you know the air space well. not only do we have airplanes. we're going to add drones into the air space. we're going to add ubers in the air into the air space. it's going to become far more complicated. we need a state of the art

system to be able to handle that increased traffic when it comes online. we can't do that now, but if we do this bill, it's going to be ready for all the new uses of the air space in the coming years. >> sandra: we know you are heading up those efforts and you'll keep us posted on all the development to improve the situation for our american air ways and sky. let me ask you about why you are there today. there's a push by this white house to hit the road. take your family on a road trip. i think it's the great american road trip expo you're at today. this as gas prices are dropping. they're down from a year ago. they're about $3.57 a year ago. we're $3.17 now today. so, mr. secretary, what's the push there? i can anecdotally say i know one family that chose to drive from texas to indiana. not because they're afraid of flying, but simply this was a price issue. >> so, listen.

we're about to celebrate america's 250th birthday. there's going to be a year long celebration starting this july 4th. the president has told all departments to come up with ways to celebrate this anniversary. so at dot we have the best idea of all departments. we're winning the challenge. we're going to do the great american road trip. gas prices are down. inflation is down. american spirits are up. so get in the car, see our beautiful country. there's so much to see, whether it's the grand canyon, the beaches of california. come see your capital. check out your country because to love america is to see america. think about this, too, sandra. we all have kids. there is no better time than spending those trips with your family in the car. again, you put the phones away. the things and stories that your kids will tell you and the memories that you will make, there's nothing better. you're going to see your country, spend time with your

family. we have 40 cars here all made in america. what president trump has done in with tariffs is bringing manufacturing back to this country. also realigning the supply chain so we get away from some adversaries in the supply chain that come to the u.s. this is a great american story led by president trump and we're grateful for that and celebrating that here today as we kick off our road trip for america. >> john: we should point out, mr. secretary, that you and your beloved wife, who is familiar to everyone at fox news, have decided you're going to take a road trip with the family. we should point out that you've got nine children. with everybody that's a lot of people. what are you gonna take, a bus, a semitruck? >> so, john, an air stream, winds stream that i'm just going to put the kids in the back of the truck and rachel and i will be peaceful and let them sit in the back. i have a suburban. i'm driving that. i'll fly a few. i'm gonna spend a couple days with rachel on the road.

we're gonna leave from the white house. i'll fly her back to fox and friends. the kids are excited. we're planning out that trip right now, where we're gonna go, what we're gonna see. >> sandra: i love a good road trip but i feel like it's always a heck of a lot better on the way there. you have a great trip then you realize -- >> that's true. >> sandra: then got to go back with all the dirty laundry and head back. >> 100%. the way there is so exciting. the way home, sandra, you're right. we're not stopping, we're driving through the night. we're gonna get home right away. i totally agree with that. >> john: my wife has got a grand dream to go across the country in an rv. i keep trying to delay the decision. maybe i'll take a cue from you. >> gas prices are down. you hop in and travel across country. she deserves that. she puts up with you. take her across country in an rv. >> sandra: it was brian kilmer or stuart varney did a big cross

country. >> john: he ran into a barrier at a toll booth, as i recall. great end to the vacation. >> don't let him drive. >> sandra: there secretary, always good to have you on. come back soon. >> thank you. >> john: see you. >> there's plenty of evidence that joe biden wasn't mentally fit to make a lot of these decisions. we want to know who actually gave the authority to do these executive orders and these pardons? >> sandra: republicans demanding answer from former biden aides on who knew what and when. our political panel will weigh in on the search for answers. >> john: plus is the senate going to tear up trump's big beautiful bill now that it has made its way through the house. house speaker mike johnson will have thoughts on that. he's coming up. 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

>> there is an effort by this administration to tackle the injunctions and blockades we have faced in our broken judicial system in every case. i mean, we have seen time and time again these lower district court judges ruling against this administration and the president's basic executive authority and powers. this administration is fighting every one of those battles in court. >> john: she said rogue judges blocking trump administration policies. this after one judge ruled against the deportation of anti-israel activist mammoud khalil. we have more on all of this. eric? >> hello, john. one judge said yes, he can be deported. then another said, not so fast. the fate of the activist now in the hands of a judge who has cast doubt on the trump administration's actions. khalil was taken into custody by

ice in march and ordered deported for his role in those pro palestinian protests at columbia university. a new jersey federal judge has ruled the move was likely unconstitutional fearing it could open a path for unlimited government power. the judge wrote, quote, a law cannot be so narrow that it punishes preselected people. and at the same time a law cannot be so broad that it covers just about everyone. this law making power with law enforcing power can be an invitation to arbitrary enforcement. trump administration revoked khalil's legal resident status after marco rubio found that he poses a threat to u.s. foreign policy. under the law the administration says the secretary of state does have the legal right to throw him out. but khalil's lawyers argue he was exercising his first amendment rights to free speech at those protests. however, the government also says khalil did not come clean when he applyed for residency in

the first place. they say he did not disclose that he once worked for united nations agency that helps palestinians and had been professioned with a pro palestinian protest group before the disruptions at columbia. the judge says he will continue to consider whether khalil will be released or should be removed from the country. he is being held in louisiana. john, that's where an immigration judge has already ruled the trump administration is right and correct that khalil can be deported. back to you. >> john: it's amazing. one judge says one thing. another judge says completely the opposite. eric, thank you. now this. >> i think anybody looking, again, at the videos and photo evidence of joe biden with your own eyes and a little bit of commonsense can see this was a clear cover-up. jill biden was certainly complicit in that cover-up. she still thinks the american public are so stupid that they're going to believe her

lies. frankly, it's insulting and she needs to answer for it. >> sandra: karoline leavitt at the white house saying former first lady jill biden should absolutely face questions on what she knew and when about her husband's decline. as we reach the deadline day for former biden aides to either accept interview requests from the house oversight committee or face subpoena, let's bring in caroline downey a staff writer and rich eoli. our dynamic duo is back. rich, this is gonna get pretty interesting. if you heard what karoline leavitt just said, republicans are not going to stop short of having jill biden involved. >> nor should they stop short. this is, sandra, the greatest political scandal in history, in my opinion. we're talking about a man with nuclear codes. the on person who could launch nuclear weapons. with no override. and they knew that he was senile and they allowed him to stay in

power and built a shadow government. do you know who else needs to be called out? the vice president. >> sandra: fair enough. i've got breaking news. he's in tel aviv. what's happening? >> reporter: right now sirens are sounding across the entirety of central israel. you can hear behind me. looking off in the distance, people are running across the street. they're looking for any sort of shelter that they can get. this is an indication that houthis in yemen have fired a ballistic missile toward this country. they have been doing it time and time again. what it does is it paralyzes this country. right now, as we are speaking, just about a mile from here, there is a championship soccer game between two of israel's largest soccer teams. we can see on the television, they have paused the game and people are trying to take cover. in other parts of the city, people are headed into bomb

shelters. it gives you a sense more than 600 days into the conflict between israel and hamas inside gaza that president trump is trying to end with steve whitkoff, there is still this question about what the united states will do with the other fronts. the largest active front being the houthis in yemen that still have an arsenal of ballistic missiles and other weapons they have used to target not only commercial shipping lanes, but also american vessels in the red sea. the siren ending now. people will stay in shelters for about ten minutes. this is a precautionary measure because israel's advance missile defense systems, such as david sling and thl often be used to intercept these incoming missiles. the shrapnel that comes down can be deadly. that is why so many, millions of people across the central part of this country, are in bomb shelters right now. sandra? >> john: it's john here. question for you. so the trump administration made

peace, of a sort, with houthis over shipping in the red sea after, you know, blowing the you know what out of them for a number of days. yet the houthis are still attacking israel. seems to be a disconnect here. should the trump administration say to the houthis, not on stop hitting targets in the reds sea, but stop firing missiles at israel as well? >> reporter: it's a great question. just a few days ago the israelis launched air strikes against houthis positions in yemen. we saw for so many weeks over the past month and a half american jets targeting not only launching positions for those houthis missiles but also commanding control centers and going after some of the top officials from this iran backed organization. but this is a real x factor in the entire region right now. what sort of red line is there for the trump administration when it comes to the houthis targeting their key middle east ally, israel? we've heard from secretary of

defense pete hegseth. we heard from president trump directly about the houthis. they warned them about future attacks against american interests in the region. the warnings were not so clear when it came to future attacks against israel. this has been on going for months now. remember, just yesterday marked 600 days of war between israel and hamas inside gaza. the houthis have gotten directly involved in this conflict and have released statements saying they are supporting the palestinian people saying that they plan to attack israel. they've released a lot of propaganda about this conflict, even putting out maps of israel's international airport just about 20 minutes from here. warning people to go to shelters. the reality of the situation is the conflict continues. whether or not president trump is successful in getting this deal between israel and hamas, the houthis will remain. we are told this ballistic missile was intercepted by

israeli air defense systems. guys, back to you. >> sandra: okay. ballistic missile was intercepted. got it. trey yingst, thank you. breaking news. we heard the siren, saw people running in the street, that soccer game halted. just about 9:30 p.m. local time there. trey, keep us posted. we'll check back in with you shortly. please stay safe. all right, john. we'll definitely check back in with trey as soon as we hear anything else from there. we've reached out to the white house for comment as well. just an incredible situation there minute by minute. >> john: yeah. when you consider they are talking with hamas about a cease fire in gaza, talking to iran about a nuclear deal, yet iran is still allowing the houthis to do this? it just doesn't make sense. we'll keep watching it for you. now this. >> i knew he was a violent person, but i didn't realize to that extent.

i hope and pray that harden is captured by the authorities quickly and before he does harm somebody. >> john: arkansas on edge with the devil of the ozarks still on the run. the big move the fbi is now making to try and catch him. that's coming up next. >> sandra: an ohio bill meant to fight back against the nation's low birth rates. so why is it facing backlash? we are going to ask one of the bill's main sponsors live right here coming up. max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! —uh. —here i'll take that.

protecting u.s. citizens at home. >> sandra: the department of homeland security says 277,000 chinese students studied in the united states just last year. john? >> john: all right, sandra. a push by state lawmakers in ohio. it's a new measure to declare the month between mother's day an father's day, quote, natural family month. it's facing backlash from the buckeye state's lbgqt+ community. let's bring in beth lear one of the lawmakers who is sponsoring the bill. ms. lear, thank you very much for joining us. appreciate your time. so tell us, what is the idea here? what's the driving factor behind the natural family month? >> the goal reppive williams and i have is just to encourage the creation of families and children because we are seeing a very low birth rate in all of civilized society. europe is seeing the birth rate

fall through the cracks of the floor. we are seeing the birth rate fall. i think it's 1.6 in the united states. it's 1.7 in ohio. but you need 2.1 at least children per family in order to replace your own population. we're just not there and we want to encourage people to have families. >> john: so according to the cdc here's the declining birth rate in the united states. they define it differently. 2022 it was 56 births for 1,000 women. that dropped to 54.4 in 2023. that was a historic low. it's koplt come up a little bit since 2023. the overall trend, representative lear, is on the way down. >> exactly. that's why representative williams and i introduced this bill. we need to have kids. we need to have a work force in the united states. we'd like to grow and prosper. the best way to do that is to

have healthy families. that's all we're doing with this bill. it seems like the perfect timing, between mother's day an father's day, to talk about it. >> john: all right. this is getting some backlash from lbgqt+ groups who are saying, hey, we can be parents, too, even though the way our family is doesn't fit the tradzal mold. one woman in a same sex marriage said, the elephant in the room on how they've positioned it is on the word natural. i think what they're saying, if there's only one way to be a natural family, that's not entirely true. she and her wife have got an adoptive daughter. she's got a stepson from a previous marriage. does this declaration of natural family month include them or exclude them? >> the whole idea is to encourage what's best for children. so natural, we use that term

because just about any term you use is going to have some backlash from somebody or another. if we use traditional the claim will be that only christians. if we use nuclear similar thing. we use natural because it includes historical, scientific and religious backgrounds for the term family. it can include adopted family members. i'm adopted. it can include people like josh, who grew up in a single parent home. but he wants to provide a father and mother for his family. >> john: right. so josh williams, your co-sponsor, said the purpose of the month is to promote natural families, betweening a man, a woman and their children, as a way to encourage higher birth rates. does the community feel alienated by this have a point based on what he said? >> well, it's not about them. this is about what's best for kids. that's why representative williams and i are doing this.

we want to encourage our young people to get married. marriages have also been declining ever since about the depression. so we're looking at way just to say, hey, the state thinks that getting married and having kids is a great idea, and we happen to know, through study, that the best way to avoid poverty is to make sure you get your education and then you get married, get a job and then have kids. we're trying to encourage our young people to do things in the right order and to get married and have kids. it's a great blessing. >> john: all right. we'll keep watching it as it makes its way through the state house. thanks for being with us today. >> thank you very much. appreciate your time. >> john: all right. see you again soon. now this. >> it's critical that senate republicans maintain the momentum and quickly pass the one big beautiful bill. the one big beautiful bill will truly make america safe and prosperous. >> sandra: a battle is brewing over president trump's big

beautiful bill. republicans are turning on each other. >> john: our next guest, speaker of the house, mike johnson, got it over finish line in his chamber, but is there any hope for its success in the senate? he's here to talk to us about it coming up next.

course. joining us now is house speaker, mike onson. good to have you on "america reports." thanks for being here. give us your take on where this ends up and what it will look like. >> i think we're going to end up crossing the finish line and getting this job done for the american people. we have the entire america first agenda wrapped into this one big beautiful bill. that's why we call it that. it's president trump's promises to the american people. it's our promises, all of us said on the campaign trail. we gotta deliver this product. i think we will. this is part of the process. remember, before we got it passed in the house last thursday, there was lots of grumbling, questions, lot of doubt. the critics and the media and democrats said we couldn't get it done. we did in the end. i believe the senate will do the same. we've been working hand in hand with the senate from the very beginning of this process to ensure that it is a one-team approach, the house and senate republicans working together. i think at the end of the day they're gonna get this job done. >> john: so you think it's going

to cross the finish line. the question is, i guess, mr. speaker, what's the car gonna look like when it crosses the finish line? will it still have all four wheels and a body? senator ron johnson told us this last week about the bill. he's not happy at all. >> we need presidential leadership to be on board returning to a reasonable prepandemic total spending. no more than $6.5 billion. right now we're on track to be over $7 trillion. that's completely unacceptable. >> john: he's not the on one unhappy about the level of spending versus savings. it looks like the senate is going to do some reworking with this bill. what do you think it looks like when it comes out the other side? >> well, look. i've encouraged them to do as little reworking as possible because we have a very delicate balance that we maintain in the house and senate. we both have small majorities. i don't disagree with ron johnson. he's right, we have a big national debt problem. but i think what's being discounted here is the fact that we are achieving the largest amount of savings in the history

of government on planet earth. i mean, we're going to save over $1.5 trillion in spending. that's a big, big thing. we didn't get in this economic situation overnight, and it's gonna take us awhile to get out of it. but this would be the biggest, largest, dramatic turn that we've ever had in congress. and so it's a big achievement. now, look, this is just the beginning. this is not the end. this is the first of what we believe will be multiple reconciliation package, and we'll be codifying more doge cuts and putting all these things into law. so this is an important step. i don't want them to miss that as they're debating the merits of the bill. >> sandra: speaking of doge, elon musk taking issue on whether this can be both big and beautiful. listen. >> you know, i was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly. which increases the budget deficit, doesn't decrease it and under mines the work the doge team is doing. it both can be big or beautiful.

i don't know if it can be both. >> sandra: how you respond to his concerns about it? >> yes. i sent my good friend elon a long text messages explaining it can be big and beautiful. what i want to make sure he understands, the projection he's referring to and others is from the cbo, the congressional budget office. they are historically, totally unreliable. it's run by democrats, 84% of the number crunchers are donors to big democrats. they don't have our best interest in mind. they've always been off. by way of example, they were off on their projections of the tax cuts and jobs act in the first trump administration by $1 trillion. the problem is they do not use dynamic scoring. what that means in layman's terms, they don't give us credit for the extraordinary economic growth that will be spurred along by this bill. this is a pro growth package. lower tax rates, less regulation. we'll do exactly what we did in

the first trump administration, but this time on steroids. you're gonna have more jobs created, higher wages, more labor participation. all those things need to be factored in, because that's reality. by the way, cbo is giving no calculation at all to the new revenues that are being produced by the trump tariff policies. all these other things that are happening. so we believe we're gonna get the economy going and this is going to be deficit reducing at the end of the day. it matters how you do the math. that's what's important for everybody to remember. >> john: you mentioned this just a moment ago, and that is codifying the doge cuts into law. the white house is going to be sending the frame work of a resignificants package that includes cuts of $1.1 billion from pbs and foreign aid. marjorie taylor green said personally i want to pass doge cuts every week until the bloated out of control government is reined back in. we cannot survive our national debt and honestly we maybe past

thwaste, fraud, abuse and unnecessarore than $9 billion in cuts the president wants codified into law. ca it? >> yes. marjorie's exactly right. she and i were talking about this yesterday. you'll find a big appetite across the court. we want government to be leaner and more efficient and effective. the beauty of what doge has been able to do, the reason it's so revolutionary is because elon cracked the code. he had access. all the stars aligned. we had a president bold enough to do it and we had someone with elon's capability to do it and have his algorithms running through the data to fine these irregularities. these are things that have been hidden from congress. we've been trying to do our oversight responsibility but bureaucracy was hiding this. this changes the way government works. the doge effort will go on long

before his tenure as a temporary assistant in all this because it's changing the way people look at this. the oversight's a really important component, and that's gonna be a permanent part of the government now. it's an exciting thing. >> sandra: i want to finish up with some breaking news. our audience saw this. harvard had its commencement ceremony today, just a short time ago. i'm gonna throw to a clip out of cambridge. this is the commencement speaker. i ask you this in the context of your house-led efforts to crack down on anti-semitism on our college campuses. this was the commencement speaker moments ago slamming what this person calls a cascade of draconian government measures leading to fear in the u.s. and across the globe. listen here. >> some of actual students worry about being wrongly detained and even deported. a cascade of draconian government measures has already led to so much uncertainty, so

much pain and suffering in this country. >> sandra: wonder if you would like to respond to that? >> well, i would say that harvard would not be receiving scrutiny it is right now if they were not involved in a cascade of anti-semitism. they are allowing this to flourish on their campus and many of the other things that have been happening there, an abuse of taxpayer dollars. that's why the white house and congress are determined to use our resources responsibly. we have the power of the purse, and we will use it. these institutions need to be places where free debate flourishes and free market place of ideas are encouraged. >> john: mr. speaker, good to see you again. thanks for taking time today. we'll see if you can get the big beautiful bill through by the end of july. >> sandra: thank you, mr. speaker. >> thank you. >> john: appreciate it. we'll see you again soon.
