national security officials go into the house hearing. they will testify on worldwide threats to the u.s. you think about this war in the middle east and the tentacles the stretch back to iran. critical meeting coming up here. secretary mayorkas will be there talking about the border and chris coffer wray. >> the war is on in what could be the final battle in gaza. israeli defense forces storage the hospital in gaza city looking for hamas terrorists. looking for hostages. as of this hour, it's not clear how many they found or located of either. so it's a big news day today. back together in new york yet again. i'm bill hemmer, good morning. >> dana: good morning, i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." one thing about the hospital piece for yesterday the administration said yes, our evidence shows that hamas is hiding in the hospital. i don't know how long they knew that. but for weeks like in the last three weeks there have been media confusion on whether they were there. i don't know what time that happened. a lot of misinformation for three weeks on that. >> bill: on that point they have been hands off and they've kept it away from talking about it until now. >> dana: now we know and that's a good thing. u.s. is confirming what israel has been claiming all along. hamas uses tunnels beneath hospitals. the cover has been blown. the idf is carrying out a raid at the al-shifa hospital. meantime as we await the president's meeting with xi republicans are concerned. >> the desire to have any small any indication of progress. i worry about what concessions he might grant. just the way he framed this summit meeting is that we want to improve our relationship. we don't have a relationship with china. not like these are two teenagers dating. >> bill: mark esper will weigh in on that. we begin in southern israel where there have been numerous headlines from overnight. trey, let's start there. hello. >> good morning. a lot of updates overnight. we'll start with the al-shifa hospital where israeli forces conducted an early-morning raid targeting what they say are tunnel entrances for hamas, the group in control of gaza. i want to give you the play-by-play of how it all unfolded and how we found out. late last night i received a text message from a senior hamas official inside gaza saying in a few minutes the hospital will be stormed. we then reached out to the israeli military. they didn't have any information but ultimately released a statement saying they are storming al-shifa hospital, gaza's largest medical facility to go after hamas militants. we have gathered more information this morning from top intelligence and defense officials in israel trying to get an understanding what the focus and efforts were for the israelis. you can see in some video here one of the main objectives for israeli forces was to deliver medical aid to palestinian civilians, around 600 patients at the hospital and 1200 internally displaced palestinians sheltering in place there. the israelis delivered aid to those palestinians and they also went after hamas militants. they say they killed four militants around the hospital gate before entering the facility. once inside, no bullets were fired. this is of note because it indicates hamas fighters and leadership used the tunnel network to get to the southern part of gaza knowing the israelis were going to raid the facility. all of this is taking place amid ground fighting inside gaza. israelis say they took over the camp in the northern part of gaza a hamas stronghold. we go to the south of gaza with the half yeah crossing, the border between egypt and gaza. a fuel truck passed into gaza. there are conversations taking place behind the scenes not only to try to diplomatically get some of the hostages freed but more aid into gaza. >> bill: thank you, in 20 minutes we'll talk to a member of the, idf and show viewers what is beneath the hospital in gaza city. thank you for that. >> dana: president biden going into that meeting with president xi today seeking to change relations with china for the better, a quote. jacque heinrich live in san francisco traveling with the president. hi, jacque. >> good morning, dana. we have several announcements upcoming today. an expected agreement to restore military to military communications, also some progress securing china's help stopping iran from widening the war in the middle east. a deal in the works to mitigate risk with artificial intelligence and nuclear war heads. the biggest win for biden and the consequence for average americans is a deal we have confirmed to stem the flow of fentanyl. china will crack down on companies that manufacture fentanyl and pre-cursor chemicals and send them to latin america where they come across the southern border. xi signed a similar deal with president trump. china never enforced that. this time president biden is holding up sanctions relief as an enforcement mechanism. >> look, the proof will be in the pudding. if they, in fact, make these arrests and shut down these companies, then we'll be lifting a few sanctions, yes. >> does it include the china for -- >> we'll have more on that tomorrow. >> still we don't expect too much tough talk from biden. the administration thinks u.s. interests are better protected if china sees it is better to cooperate with the u.s. and the u.s. sees china's economic vulnerability as a pressure point. >> president biden: we're not trying to decouple from china. what we're trying to do is change the relationship for the better. >> china's economy is on the brink. they have massive youth unemployment, depreciating curensy. businesses souring on investment as the u.s. continues to recover after covid and we have partnerships in the region that china sees as alarming. china is here to tell businesses they are open for business as republicans are blasting two business groups here in the u.s. for selling a chance to dine with the communist leader. republicans are also pressuring the president not to give away the store calling on him to abandon the economic reset and get tough with china. press conference set later today. we're watching what biden says about china's biggest priority, taiwan. if we'll hear another pledge the u.s. will defend taiwan military officials dodged our questions. >> dana: you stay after it. >> bill: the big focus at this hour the idf carrying out the precise mission against the al-shifa hospital. former defense secretary mark esper is with us. good morning to you. kirby said off camera yesterday there is proof based on u.s. intelligence, in addition to israel. that hamas terrorists have used that facility to run their operations an hide. what we don't know is how many terrorists are in there today and where are the hostages? are they there or been moved elsewhere? >> sure, good morning, bill. first of all i think it's great the administration said that, acknowledged it. it confirms what israel has been saying. if you read the "wall street journal" op-ed today they chronicle since 2007 report after report and report about hamas using al-shifa and other hospitals to store weapons, etc. it appears as if the operation is going well. they appear -- israel has appeared to have done all the right things to giving warnings. brought incubators, baby food and medical supplies to the facility at al-shifa. bill, what will be really important here is what do they find in the next 24 or 48 hours? if they don't find anything underneath the hospital or in the hospital, i think it will be a blow to their narrative. if they do find hamas control nodes, weapons story it should undermine the narrative by the palestinians and others. the next 24 to 48 hours will be important on that front. >> dana: you have the situation with the president, who did not go to the rally for israel yesterday because he had this meeting planned with xi. that will happen today. call for number one is john kirby ahead of this meeting with president xi. listen here. >> coming into this discussion again with the wind at his back from an economic perspective. the united states is well poised in that competition with china. not going to be afraid to confront where confrontation is needed on certain issues where we don't see eye-to-eye with president xi. >> dana: the possibility of a military cooperation and agreement he could make with president xi. is it important? helpful to us? i don't know quite how to sight. it is good to avoid the catastrophe but how do you measure that? >> it's good that biden and xi are meeting and china and the united states are meeting. the world's two largest economies and militaries and we're facing off in the south china sea and elsewhere around the world. it is good to meet. two things concern me. first of all, china never lives up to its obligations, rarely. whether it was xi committing to president obama he wouldn't militarize the islands and he did within a year. their breaking of international law in the south china sea. a treaty partner of ours, philippines is constantly harassed by the chinese navy. you can go on and on about china not living up to its commitments. my concern biden will make commitments that china won't live up to and bind our own hands. use of a.i. with regard to the military. the climate agreement that they are parading that talks about china pursuing its goals by 2030. yet we're not talking about the fact that every week, every week china builds 1 to 2 new coal-fired power plants. plants that will last decades. clearly, you know, my concern is what do we agree to and bind our hands where the chinese won't live up to any of these agreements? >> bill: we'll see how it goes. a big story this afternoon. >> dana: a columnist from the "washington post" wait biden risks falling into xi's trap. talking with china is better than not talking. biden should realize xi is not his friend. the best way to avoid conflict with china to show show he won't fall into the same trap as his predecessors. a press conference tonight. >> some in the business world are pointing out foreign business in china has eroded and major american and international companies taking their business out of china because they can't trust what the government will do there. in that sense they make the case xi comes into this meeting a bit of a weakened leader. >> dana: one of the first times xi has traveled. significant as well. >> bill: we have troubling revelations out of austin. the man police say shot and killed a swat officer over the weekend said to be on the f.b.i. terror watch list. why was that? we're digging into it. >> dana: we just heard about the crackdown on china sending fentanyl to america. will it help? >> bill: bus drivers walking off the job in d.c. refusing to take people to the march for israel yesterday. how the jewish community that flew into that airport is fighting back against a wave of anti-semitism after an enormous turnout yesterday on the national mall in washington. >> it is hard not to be upset about what happened. it is hard to always feel empowered to voice your opinion about israel especially when you are supporting the jewish people and when anti-semitism has been rising. veterans, if you're applying for a home loan to get

>> thank you for having me on dana. wonderful to be here and talk about this event. i was just involved as a private citizen, american who heard about this and thought it was so needed for our country for the jewish community and for all americans and did what i could with some friends and other volunteers just to try to make it a success. i must say it was an incredible event. it was even more powerful than i had expected or hoped it would be and i think it made a difference and i hope it inspires more such action and openness and for americans, jewish and non-jewish, to speak out about this. >> dana: what would be a good concrete result from the rally that you could see that would make you think that as you just said, it will make a difference? >> i think the most important thing is to send a message to americans, again jewish and non-jewish, that this is actually what the majority feels. if you look at polling, there is incredible support by americans for israel, for the jewish people and horror at the rising tide of anti-semitism we're seeing. there has been a lot of fear and intimidation and fear by jews and by friends of jews to speak up on their campuses, like you just pointed out. on street corners across the country. and i think perhaps the most important thing is to overcome that fear to realize we have so many allies, so many people of goodwill and good faith who have moral clarity here. and i think just being able to speak up. not to mirror the worst tactics that we've seen on the other side. there are good people speaking up for the palestinian people but there are also very misguided people speaking up for hamas. to counter that with reason and calmness and firmness will be an inspiring thing and i hope more people on campuses and their communities will have smaller rallies and bring out people who feel this way and tamper down the fear that i think is so prevalent right now. >> dana: there is a lot of solidarity and showing up of confidences. a group of students from nyu suing the university saying the school hasn't done enough to protect them from anti-semitism on campus, nyu responded by saying students in the suit do not describe conditions on our campus and the many steps we have been taking to keep the campus safe and fight anti-semitism. how do you think about this and what should parents be thinking as they are maybe ready to send their kids off to college or on college tours right now? what kind of questions should they be asking? >> it's an awful problem, dana. these are the institutions that are grooming the next generation of leaders in our country. it is very worrying. it was bad enough when i was back in school but i know it's got en much worse. i have friends who are horrified by what they see going on. i do think it is going to take a lot of outside pressure to start to turn the ship around because i this i universities have shown that there is too much internal inertia and a structured system that is reinforcing the awful ideology of ignorance and hate replacing actual education. so i think recent actions by donors, by administrators and faculty who do have moral clarity about this is very necessary. but also i do think parents and students looking where they are going to go need to start to take this into account. it is no longer just a silly side show. this is really taking too much of a front and center place in a lot of universities and i think parents and students should take it into account and put pressure on the universities through that. if the best and brightest choose toggles where, it will make some of these universities rethink some of these awful ideologies they have allowed to take root at home. >> dana: thanks for pointing the rally out to us so that we could be there to cover it. we appreciate you. >> thank you so much, dana. >> bill: well done, daniel. israeli soldiers raiding the main hospital in gaza city searching for hostages and hamas terrorists. did they find either? we'll talk to the idf in moments. plus a senate hearing on the verge of turning into a school yard brawl. that forced bernie sanders to play the role of peace keeper. listen here. >> you want to do it now? >> love to do it right now. >> stand your butt up. >> you stand your butt up. >> stop it. sit down. sit down. you are a united states senator, sit down. sit down, please. what can i do to make a better cotton crop?

that's the internal medicine and dialysis, surgery building, outpatient clinic. maternity department. people sheltering around that area. a big, sprawling area, not small. and lieutenant colonel with the idf spoke person is with me now. the reason why this is important especially now. you've been saying it for weeks this is the way hamas operates. just yesterday on the airplane to california, john kirby said this from the white house. >> i can confirm we have information that hamas and the palestinian islamic jihad use some hospitals in the gaza strip, including al-shifa to conceal and support their military operations and hold hostages. >> bill: three specific questions, sir. number one, did the idf military find hamas terrorists in that hospital or in the tunnels overnight? yes or no. >> right now that's operation is ongoing and thank you for having me on. we went for something very specific. we had intelligence. this is not as going all out or coming to conquer the hospital. this war will be a long war. because of the severity and sensitivity of the hospital and again the cynicism of hamas we all understand here, how they are using and man whip liesing. i was inside the battle in a hospital two days ago. there was one tunnel nearby, some armor, a bike. this will take time, bill. we won't have -- we went in, kill the terrorists and that's it. we went in because we understand the sensitivity of going in there. after we did everything we can to tell the people to leave we brought medical teams and special unit inside a specific area to the hospital to do what we needed to do. it is a very sensitive intelligence operation. what will unfold during the day. our forces are still there as we speak. >> bill: it will take some time. do you know where the majority of the hostages are today? >> the hostages are a very sensitive, painful topic being handled at the highest level of government. as a man in uniform that is out of my lane. i'm focused mainly on our two operational targets. one, we have to dismantle hamas and two, get our hostages home. and i was in a hospital again and we saw again the cynicism of this enemy. we saw indications they had hostages there. because we were so careful and saying we have to get the people out, the terrorists probably moved out of there and probably moved the hostages, too. >> bill: last question, sir. i appreciate your time and we'll see how it develops over time. can the idf allow these doctors and hospital workers to evacuate patients who are being treated there? because if you could, you would have in all likelihood a better operation to operate there. >> absolutely. that's a great point, bill. we've been seeing this since before it even started we were saying move south. hamas has a responsibility. i am looking at the coverage, they are moving around in cars. we even opened a safe passage up until the action last night from the hospital and the road so people can connect to these humanitarian corridors down south. they still have the capability if they come out and say we're not part of hamas and move. we'll make sure they move. we aren't fighting the patients in the hospital even though we went in last night. >> bill: have any patients been taken out of that hospital leading them to better safety and care? >> so they have been moving out all the time. last night i don't know if they moved out from the hospital yet. i will know more tonight when our forces get out of there. they were moving up to the last minute. >> bill: i'm tight on time but i appreciate yours. we will speak later hopefully tomorrow. richard, thank you from the idf. >> dana: the u.s. and china finalizing a new deal to crack down on fentanyl and the chemicals used to manufacture it. china is the main source for fentanyl-related substances. a deal is expected to be announced at the meeting in san francisco today. let's bring in steve hilton and kennedy. fentanyl deaths nationally as of april 7, 3000, in 2023. this means that we'll be well over 100,000 this year. it was just a few months ago that china denied all responsibility that they had nothing to do with fentanyl coming into the united states and now they'll make a deal with us? >> it is very interesting. you see what's happening in gaza and what's happening with hamas in israel and in ukraine and also taiwan. there is so much global instability. what china is doing here is they are trying to somehow stabilize the relationship with the united states and this really is the lowest hanging fruit for them. some of the bigger issues that we have with surveillance and intellectual property theft won't be addressed here. so this is actually a pretty easy one for them. whether or not they make good on it, i don't have a great deal of faith in that. we've seen them make a lot of promises on climate issues and they haven't followed through an that, either. we have to do something. they are in an unholy alliance with the mexican drug cartels and the united states is not appropriately treating people with drug addiction. >> bill: if they announce they have a deal you are right. the proof will be proven in time, steve. if they can do it ask yourself what the hell took so long? >> exactly. that's the crucial point. you made the crucial point. they said for years nothing to do with them and now they say they'll do a crackdown years after thousands of deaths and kids poisoned through accidentally taking it? in san francisco more people died from fentanyl than covid which came from china and no accountability for that, either. the posture, the biden administration is taking. good to get a deal but the pleading posture. please let's have a relationship. sending over yellen and all the cabinet secretaries and desperately looking like they want to have a good relationship instead of holding them accountable for the harm they've done to us by destabilizing the world. >> dana: a foreign news crew was robbed in san francisco. so the police basically say at 5:00 it happens a lot in san francisco. well, welcome to california and san francisco today. and we also saw some video here of the before and after in san francisco on the cleanup. that's pretty remarkable that you could get the place cleaned up because president xi is coming. >> you can sweep things up momentarily. they'll fall back in place because san francisco has been victim to some horrible policies. some far left policies and it really is ground 0 for failed progressivism. and this is not meaningful change like it should be. gavin newsom says yeah, we cleaned up because we have visitors coming. what about the tourists no longer going to san francisco? what about the businesses fleeing? why not change the policies to make a better overall environment so people can live and visit that city again. >> bill: same point. what the hell took you so long? why not three years ago? it comes down to desire, right, and whether or not you want to do it, steve. >> this is where i live and it's lovely to be here with you in new york. but for the couple of days when finally the city is clean i'm here and missing out on whole thing. there are so many jokes about this and serious points as well. my favorite is people saying online could we have xi visit los angeles next and clean that up? after that san diego and do a 50 city tour of california? the whole state is in a mess because of these policies, the hard left policies that have let crime go unchecked, homelessness expand everywhere. >> bill: you will need xi to visit more often. >> dana: we'll take a visit in new york. have you seen the litter on the streets? gee. great to have you. >> bill: we're looking at some surveys. they apparently have bad news on the economy for president biden. think about that now when the stock market has been booming for the last month, okay? economists say he faces head winds on the path to re-election. we'll talk about that coming up. tragic story out of vegas. a teenage boy beaten to death by a group of teenagers and now some of those have been charged with murder. >> he was a loving and caring young man. i'm so grateful -- [inaudible] . from newday, you can pay cash and own the car or truck of your dreams. with the freestyle libre 2 system, know your glucose level and where it's headed. no fingersticks needed. manage your diabetes with more confidence. freestyle libre 2. try it for free at freestylelibre.us another excuse, i mean, reason for my family to crave a little pizza time. well, i've got one. my cuisinart indoor pizza oven, ready to bake up some bubbly, cheesy, savory sauciness with that perfect artisan crispy crust in about five minutes. it's great for snack time, dinner time, game time. me time. anytime. it's always time for home baked pizza.

>> well, there is good news for president biden and there is bad news. i think the bad news is what a lot of people are registering politically. inflation, even though it's been contained, is still at very elevated levels. both the polling, the models, the economic models show that voters are very upset about the higher cost of goods, the higher cost of groceries, the higher cost of what it takes to buy a house, higher rates of mortgages. so that is why you are seeing biden's economic numbers so low. a lot of people also don't hear a concerted message from the white house other than bidenomics and other than the notion of some of the small legislative packages they passed. they don't feel the president is feeling their economic pain, an important part of any campaign and any re-election message. the good news for the president is what you say, bill. that the stock market has been hot lately. you have unemployment low. it has been low for quite some time and you also have signs that inflation has been contained. it is still at an elevated level but it is not looking as bad as it was forecast a year ago. in fact, the worries about a recession in 2024 is not looking likely at all. there is a lot of things the white house can work with to talk about ways they've actually gotten the economy back on track. but boy, inflation, inflation, inflation is still a major issue for a lot of voters. >> bill: the point about obama. there is time. on the topic of republicans right now, it seems as if nikki haley has some momentum. i want to show you the polling from the first three states. iowa trump is at 43%, she and desantis are tied. you go to new hampshire trump is almost 50%, haley leads desantis by eight. south carolina trump 53% and she leads desantis by 11. what we are talking about here is potentially a battle for the silver medal or does she surprise in one of these early states to get more people to look at her along the way? what do you think of that? >> well, she still is lagging behind donald trump but she has done very well at the debates. she has been the political star on the debate stage. she knocked out ramaswamy. she surged past her south carolina colleague tim scott and now neck-and-neck with ron desantis in iowa and national polls. she looks like she has the silver medal close in hand. the challenge for haley, very far behind trump and a question of whether republicans want that kind of candidate. >> bill: we'll have more time next time. thanks for coming by today. thank you. >> dana: the biden administration is extending a waiver to give iran access to $10 billion. we'll tell you more when we return right after the break. ee i hid from the camera. and i wanted to hide from the world. for years, i thought my t.e.d. was beyond help... but then i asked my doctor about tepezza.
