>> you are not humming the song. >> it's a good one. >> looking up toward central park. 42 degrees in new york city. thanks for joining us today. >> have a wonderful day. see you tomorrow. >> see you on the radio. get dressed. >> bill: thank you, guys, good morning. police under siege, rioters launching an assault on a future training facility in atlanta. authorities call it a coordinated criminal attack. not the first time it has happened as we say good morning. i'm bill hemmer live in new york city. hope you had a good weekend. good morning. >> dana: i had a great weekend. my mom was in town. saw beautiful noise on broadway. a ping-pong tournament she lost but that's all right. we had a good one. hope you did, too. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we are talking about the fire at cop city where police are

building a $90 million training center. the project that's drawn fierce opposition which has repeatedly descended to violence. >> protestors torching construction equipment. 35 arrested and yet again police say many were from out of town. >> we continue to see a number of individuals not from atlanta, georgia, present tonight undertaking criminal activities. actions such as this will not be tolerated. when you attack law enforcement officers and damage equipment, you are breaking the law. >> this wasn't about a public safety training center. it was about anarchy and the attempt to destabilize. >> dana: it's six weeks since a riot in downtown atlanta prompted by another incident at cop city where a protestor shot an officer and police responded with deadly force. >> charles watson with the fallout this time. the story live in atlanta. >> the atlanta police department is describing sunday's clash with protestors as a coordinated

attack against law enforcement and this video released by the atlanta p.d. you can see things get violent quickly at the site of the $90 million city-proposed police and firefighter training facility referred to as cop city. you see protestors, many in black and faces covered throw large rocks, bricks, fireworks and molotov cocktails at police. some project tiles narrowly missing officers as they try to take cover. you can see protestors set fire to construction equipment including at least one tractor that was destroyed. this goes on for several minutes before the protestors run away. multiple law enforcement agencies did step in to help get the situation under control. at least 35 agitators were arrested. >> legitimate protest you have the protection of the atlanta police department. this is criminal activity. and the charges that will be brought forth will show that.

>> criminal activity will not be tolerated in atlanta or in connection with this project. >> various groups who say it's an effort to militarize atlanta police and voiced their concerns about the environment. things have gotten heated in the past. in january a georgia state trooper shot and killed a prot protestors. he fired the first shot and wounded the trooper as authorities tried to clear protestors from the property. demonstrations later spilled over into the streets of downtown atlanta where protestors smashed windows and set at least one police cruiser on fire. fortunately, yesterday's clash with protestors no officers were injured during that clash. bill and dana, we expect to learn more about the charges in terms of those who were arrested yesterday. >> thank you, charles watson in atlanta. thank you so much. southeastern part of atlanta. massive area, wooded area.

some folks have been sleeping in those woods more fern a year. >> dana: what's particularly galling for the police there and also for taxpayers is that many of them arrested are not from the area. this is not your police force. this is not the police training center that you are paying for. this is the taxpayers of atlanta and georgia that are responsible for this and we'll have the attorney general from georgia chris carr on the show later today. >> bill: four minutes past the hour. there is now this. >> dana: our growing bipartisan call for president biden to get tough on china. several weeks after he pledged to confront xi over the spy flight tensions keep rising between the world's two largest economy. former speech writer bill mcgurn standing by with analysis but first aishah hosni on capitol hill this morning. >> good morning to you, dana and bill. democrats and republicans get back to work this week and china

is front and center. this week alone democratic senator mark warner and republican whip john thune will get together and introduce a broad bipartisan piece of legislation that will be able to ban foreign technology. that could include tiktok. >> what worries me more with tiktok is that this can be a propaganda tool to basically videos you see would promote ideological issues. if you look at what tiktok shows to the chinese kids, all about science and engineering versus what our kids see there is a radical difference. >> we're watching several china-related hearings this week as bipartisan calls for action grow across issues like the fentanyl epidemic, the possibility of china providing russia lethal aid and fact that biden's own department of energy concluded the covid virus likely originated from a lab leak.

>> millions of people die around the world. billions of economic harm on the u.s. economy. the only thing to make it right is to make sure everyone connected is held accountable. >> this has the potential to become a major 2024 issue as pretty all of washington is wondering when the call that president biden said that was expected with president xi will actually take place. that was two weeks ago. >> dana: time is ticking by. thank you. >> bill: bill mcgurn joins us now. newt gingrich lit it up at foxnews.com. he said the scandal is so large and covers so many areas it will be major factor in politics and government for the next decade and go down in history. we need to decide what direction we turn. toward lies and chaos or truth and accountability. there is the question.

>> i think he is absolutely right. china is an adversary and on so many fronts chris wray at the f.b.i. is always talking about china's spying efforts. but one thing i worry about in the reactions to china, we're not going to beat china with just tariffs. we have to build up our military forces, take the threat seriously. help taiwan defend itself and that will take a lot of effort and a lot of money. >> dana: bill, put yourself in the white house's position. there is supposed to be the call with xi and that hasn't happened. we don't know if president biden will officially run for president. there is a lot of hesitation. is it because there is a new chief of staff or president biden not being decisive and quick enough to take action? >> i think it's china. look, i don't really care about

a phone call. but china should be wanting to call biden, not the other way around. they like this. we look like the -- i think china is dancing to its own tune and until we're serious about building up our forces and counter balancing them, they will continue to behave. they were bad on covid in the cooperation. they are threatening to give russia lethal aid in ukraine. they are not cowed by anything. we shoot down their balloon and they don't apologize or anything. >> dana: i want to ask you about the covid. miranda devine had the story that emails show dr. fauci commissioned a scientific paper to disprove the wuhan lab leak theory in 2020. the house oversight subcommittee published emails sunday the

paper's co-author admits fauci wanted him to write the paper to disprove the lab leak theory. this would be quick ex closeive, bill. >> it would. he is using effectively government resources to tout the orthodoxy which we now know is not true. a sign of what everyone was up against. they just wouldn't look at the question in an open and honest way. >> bill: eight weeks later he was in a white house press conference and referred to the letter that he approved. >> dana: right. >> right. look i don't think you can blame them for not knowing things early on and so forth. but that's not what they said. they categorically pushed their line and they wanted to silence anyone that thought might be different. now years later we're learning

what they said wasn't true and what many of the critics say was true. even the government has come round to that point of view in terms of the lab. >> bill: we'll see how many do in the end. nice to see you, bill mcgurn on a monday morning. >> dana: nice to quick off the week with you. >> bill: later this week on wednesday congressman brad wenstrup will hold the first hearing on the origins of covid. subcommittee hearing. dr. robert redfield who ran the cdc is one of his guests and see whether or not they can push it forward coming up midweek this week. >> dana: there was a second train derailing in ohio. what we know about the cargo plus this. >> we are focused on public safety because people want to be safe. they don't feel safe and they are actually safe you will lose control of your city. >> that's new york city mayor eric adams reacting to lori

>> bill: more troubling questions about railways this morning after another norfolk southern train runs off the tracks in the state of ohio. the rail company says no hazardous material was on board. any of the more than 20 cars that derailed on saturday. that's hardly easing concerns about safety. garrett tenney has the story from chicago today. garrett. >> yeah, bill. this is the fourth norfolk southern train to derail just in

ohio in the past five months alone. this train had 212 cars near the town of springfield, ohio on its way to birmingham, alabama. 28 of the cars fell off the tracks and left folks wondering if their town would be the next east palestine. >> i looked up and there was all kinds of debris and metal shoot out from under the train cars. once the cars started coming off it was time to go. >> officials briefly issued a shelter in place order for folks living within 1,000 feet of the derailment but later said no hazardous materials were on board. as the investigation begins norfolk southern is defending its record and says incidents such as this one are down year-over-year. lawmakers aren't buying it. >> safety is our number one priority. with this derailment just like every other derailment we do a full investigation and if there

is takeaways or things we learn from the derailment we fix those. >> they lay off workers and compromise on safety. >> this morning norfolk southern released a six-point plan to try to enhance the safety of its operations in the response to the ntsb report on last month's derailment in east palestine. the railway ceo will face tough questions on all of this when he goes to capitol hill thursday. >> bill: we'll see what happens then a few days away. thank you. >> is what happened to her a warning sign for you? >> on the contrary. a warning sign for the country. i knew what new yorkers were saying and saw it all over the country. if anything, it is really stating that this is what i have been talking about. america, we have to be safe. >> dana: eric adams on the lessons to be learned after

chicago mayor lori lightfoot was voted out last week. nationwide including new york people are concerned about it. let's bring in paul mauro. they realize he has the point and people are listening to him? >> he does have a point. i think that this is a harbinger of issues to come and certainly an issue in the presidential and senate elections coming up in new york state. adam was elected in new york on the issue of crime and disorder that characterized the deblasio administration. while the rhetoric is there and the white house probably is happy to let him carry the water on this, i think that we are -- many of us would like to see him use the bully pulpit of new york city mayor to more effectively move the needle in albany. the fixes reside in albany. traditionally new york city is the tail that was the dog in new

york state. someplace during the cuomo administration it shifted a little bit. while the mayor has done good things relative to the mentally ill and homeless on the street out front on that. on a national level for our urban areas. i think the jury is still out for some of the crime stuff. we're still up slightly for the year but that doesn't discount the fact that last year was a very bad year. if we look at last year we're not in a great place. >> bill: it will be an interesting week in washington. the crime bill will likely pass in the senate. president said he won't veto it. watch to see how many democrats vote with republicans on this. adams' comment. lightfoot losing in chicago. you have the president saying washington, d.c. you can't allow this crime bill to go forward. you tie all this together and wonder if this is a sea change perhaps the beginning of a sea change in america when it comes to the issue of crime. do you believe that? >> you know, bill, you and i are hopeful guys.

we hope that's the case. i think there are some indications that yeah, i would say that it might be. i would never have believed that you would have a district attorney in san francisco recalled. we didn't get that in philadelphia. we talk at a national level. there is finally is cog any sedans sinking in we're losing our cities and urban areas that have been the jewels and crown of america. they have been the centers of commerce and culture for so long and there seems to be particularly on a progressive left as part of the defund movement a willingness to accept really unlivable conditions for the sake of saying they're on the right side of history. we learn that's not the case. >> bill: took them long enough to get there. >> dana: nypd has an interesting way trying to get past covid and deal with robberies dealing with masks and people continuing to wear masks. this is the chief of the department on this. listen here. >> we're asking the businesses to be pro-active with this. all right?

we're asking the businesses to make this a condition of entry that people when they come in should show their face and identify themselves. if they feel like they want to put their mask on after they identify themselves for their safety they should do so. >> dana: will it help stop robberies? >> classic nypd s, a work around. they are used to operating in a system that's adversarial. the chief knows his business. you have a bunch of guys getting killed on the visible smash and grabs taking jewelry out of high-end stores. high-end boutiques and it makes a lot of news and drives the numbers. we have to come up with something. since we not keeping these repeat criminals doing robberies. that's the bell weather in my opinion more than murder. we get killed on these numbers. we need a workaround. if you don't take the mask off we won't let you in. a lot of stores the door is

locked. if they say you aren't coming in without the mask they send a message you will be on camera and hoping what will happen is that these crews who come in in large groups, 10, 12 people will say oh, they are on to us and turn around and walk away. now, this is not going to work in the bronx at 4:00 a.m. you can forget that. what's going on here is targeting it at the big public smash and grabs that we've seen and i think it is a clever idea, classic nypd make it work and has a shot to move the needle. >> bill: rise in major felonies in new york, murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, grand larceny, vehicle theft up 23%. >> dana: that's a lot. >> robbery is the bellwether. robbery for 2021 was up 25%. that's a huge number in the police world.

robberies, these are strangers coming into your area, your neighborhood, on the street or in stores, sticking a gun in your face and taking your stuff. robbery is stealing plus violence. that's one of the things i think really makes a city feel hostile. unsafe, tourists getting ripped off. murders very rarely when the murder numbers were down was there non-associate murders. generally it is domestics and gang on gang, drug crews, things like that. robberies are random and that's what people react to. >> bill: good stuff. nice to see you. have a good week on the crime bill. we'll catch. chaos in atlanta. protestors storm the construction site of a police training facility and through rocks and fireworks at cops and like an anti-antifa in downtown atlanta in georgia. g.a. is chris carr and up next

tell. love to go to dinner with him one day. glad he can do that. the update. four americans are missing in northern mexico. the f.b.i. says they were assaulted and kidnapped at gun point friday. they are asking the public's help to try to find them. officials say the group had just driven across the border when several unidentified gunmen shot at them and put them in a vehicle and sped off. william la jeunesse live in the west coast newsroom with the latest. >> good morning, dana. this happened on friday just over the u.s. border in the city of matamoros home to a cartel across in brownsville, texas. this is the border checkpoint. the four had driven their van with north carolina plates over the border in the afternoon. minutes later they came under gunfire surveillance cameras showed armed men with rifles and bullet-proof vests toss one female to the back of the pickup.

cartels killed or injured a number of people on friday. they did not specify how many were american. now the consulate has instructed u.s. employees to avoid the area. it is 1 of 6 mexican states already on state department do not travel list due to crime and kidnapping. seven other states you should reconsider traveling only two states in mexico near cancun are considered safe. violent crime, homicide, kidnapping. carjacking, robbery all common now in those states. kidnapping is especially big business to anyone with value including americans. the fact is mexico is not a safe place right now. the mexican government since president 2006 declared war on the cartels violence has not stopped. it is relegated to rival factions and fighting a tour much war for cocaine and human smuggling routes. this area here is especially

violent right now with the gulf cartel and two other cartels fighting for power in that area. it is not like negotiating with the head of a cartel. you will have basically rival gangs in these areas. now the current position is there are 20,000 homicides there. the bottom line if you go to mexico you are on your own, dana. >> dana: william la jeunesse. let's hope they get found soon. >> bill: protestors attacking a future police site in atlanta. the rioters torched construction equipment throwing fireworks at police. 35 arrested. chris carr is the attorney general in georgia. he is my guest now. thank you for your time. the police chief says this is not about a public safety training center, it's about anarchy. he says this was an attempt to destabilize. what were they doing and what happened? >> bill, thanks for having me. that's right. today it may be about a public

safety training center in atlanta, georgia. tomorrow it may be in your community, it may be an economic development project, it may be something that they don't like but they are putting together a plan here in atlanta to undermine the rule of law and destabilize the system. but it isn't going to stand here. i have said this before. we are not washington or oregon. this is the state of georgia. you cannot come here and bill just for the record, some of those arrested yesterday were from massachusetts and new york and france and canada. this is a national network and an international group of people that are organized to come to our state to undermine a public safety training center. one thing i want to say they call it cop city. that's a misnomer. this is for first responders, firefighters, emts so to say cop city is just playing into what the left is trying to create a

narrative on this and it's wrong. >> bill: you arrested 35. how many were from out of state? >> all but two were from out of state. and 23 individuals have been charged with domestic terrorism. because in georgia, if you come here and if you throw molotov cocktails, bottles, rocks, engage in violence in order to change public policy, if you are going to damage infrastructure to change public policy, we have a law on the books that is domestic terrorism and you will be charged. if you are convicted, that is 5 to 35 years in prison. >> bill: paul mauro was talking to us during the commercial. is that a state or federal charge you just described? >> state charge. >> state charge. why not a federal charge? >> well, the federal government could play a role as well. we have had partnership with the f.b.i. that would be up to the u.s. attorney's office to make those decisions but we can -- we're in

control of state charges. we're leading this investigation. we can do what we can do as it relates to the state piece. that's exactly what we're going to do. we won't hesitate to seek to enforce the law to its fullest. >> bill: i don't know if this is the case or not. are you putting their pictures in the newspaper online? >> they haven't yet but know, bill, we have video of all these individuals and we will continue to investigate this case based on all the facts and evidence that we have. we'll hold everybody accountable that is engaged in violent activity. this is not peaceful protest, bill. protestors use words, rioters use violence. in georgia, you can be charged with domestic terrorism for engaging in this type of behavior. >> bill: are you making their pictures public? >> as far as i know, it hasn't been made public yet.

we'll see what our law enforcement partners do as well. >> bill: if you do that it may deter those from coming into your state in the first place. >> great point. that's a great point. >> bill: you'll look at that or is that off the table -- is that to be considered? >> what i care about, bill, is the prosecutorial piece of it. that's what we can control. we'll work with law enforcement partners and they are doing everything they can and will continue to do it to make sure that this project moves forward, the project is safekeeping law enforcement safe and keeping the community safe. we certainly will pass that along to law enforcement. >> bill: we've been following the story for a while. this is a wooded area in southeastern atlanta within the city limits i believe, several acres large. some people have been camping in the woods. are they still doing that? >> there are some individuals as i'm told that went back into the forest last night and there may be an operation going on now.

i don't want to get into specifics. obviously it is not their property. at a minimum they're trespassing. and again, whatever we need to do, whatever charges we need to bring on those that end up breaking our laws, we'll end up doing it. >> bill: we'll stay in touch with you and your office. thanks for coming on today. the attorney general in the state of georgia. thank you, sir. >> dana: texas state troopers busted a suspected mexican cartel stash house on the border and our fox crew was there when it all went down. you've heard of quiet quitting. there is another new trend among those who hate the start of the work week. bare minimum mondays ahead on this monday morning. ♪ only at vanguard, you're more than just an investor you're an owner. that means that your goals are ours too.
