to pitch his bidenomics agenda. polls showing voters still not happy with this president's economic policies, but the white house is doubling down. >> it takes a little bit of time, economic experts have said this to feel everything. >> and so we get it, we get it's going to take a little bit of time for folks to feel what the bidenomics has been able to do. >> it's going to take time for people to fully feel what the president has done. >> sandra: see, it's not about numbers and inflation and high grocery -- it's how you feel, john. >> john: exactly. >> sandra: hello, welcome, i'm sandra smith in new york. good to be with you, john. >> john: just wondering how much time we need to let go by before we start to feel it. john roberts in washington, this is "america reports". as americans keep waiting for bidenomics to kick in, tick tick tick tick tick, one of biden's former campaign aides has had enough, flat out telling biden's campaign to let it go.

>> sandra: simone sanders townsend warning voters are not going to get the president's economic message and suggesting he get out there and actually talk to the voters himself. >> john: we'll see in the next little while what the president has to say about all of this, but again, sandra, this idea of bidenomics being the saving grace of this administration, perhaps not so much. >> sandra: here is the deal. grocery prices, energy prices, heating your home, all those prices are sky high and what the administration has been doing and kjp did in the remarks there as well, they are telling you inflation is down. well, no, it's not, inflation, prices are still going up but at a lower pace as larry kudlow often points out. prices never really come back down. once they go up, they sort of stay there, right, john? how often do you see something you pay for at the grocery store get cheaper. it just doesn't happen. >> john: and the shrinkflation,

too, i get a bag of my favorite lay's baked potato chips, less inside it but the cost is the same. >> sandra: shrinkflation, right? joining us now is brian kilmeade. and he's going to be joining us on the house gop led committee demanding answers from former, the former treasury official over alarming surveillance of americans as part of the government's investigation of january 6th. house judiciary committee chairman jordan said the feds asked banks to search and filter, get this, customer transactions, the terms they were looking for, maga and trump, key words flagged were dick's sporting goods, cabelas, bass pro shops, where a lot of trump voters shop, brian kilmeade is here, this is kind of mind blowing. >> brian: it is, because they asked the bank of america and other banks, they asked payment messages, they want to see all

this stuff that these men and women were possibly purchasing. bus tickets, plane tickets, they asked the banks would you voluntarily help us with this? some of the tactics we heard that george bush put in place to try to finds out al-qaeda in the midst, the hamas and hezbollah foundations that might be masking themselves as charities. same principles on the trump supporters as on al-qaeda, and maybe saying after january 6th certain people they felt they had to round up, now over 1,000. is it going to stop? and what does it tell you? executive branch in the dark on thshgs it seems, because none of the trump people knew anything about this are admitting to, why would they know about it, and executive branch was in the dark, what else is the treasury searching for and you shut that off? >> sandra: exactly the point.

jim jordan on kudlow on exactly this. >> looks likes without any warrants or legal process, and what were the key words, did they purchase religious text, shop at cabelas or bass pro shop, purchasing a firearm. this is financial surveillance at its worst, looks like to us. >> sandra: the lack of legal process here, that should disturb so many americans. to your point, i mean, this is -- about january 6th and looking for the trump voters and the maga supporters. what else could they want to look for and track us down for? >> it's pretty amazing. we are already seeing what's happening in new york, when you have an attorney general that has a mission to take out trump, they will find something. already seeing georgia, you have a mission to take out the president, they will put together some conspiracy charge and really charge you of rico stats. i'm not saying we are all watching are perfect, but if your goal is to unwind the power

of maga, the supporters, what they do, and maybe curtail their participation in the process, this is what you do. you go to the bank records. and reminds me of what james comer said. i want to get to the bottom of what hunter biden was up to and the business dealings. i'm not going to ask them, i'm going to the banks but make it transparent. jim jordan, if they did not win control of the house, they would not know any of this. and he's on that special committee where the weaponization of government. this seems to be an example. with president trump in charge this was happening. what happens if they are on the same page, the executive branch and the surveillance state. >> sandra: i know that you probably use these bank transactions as well, you know, to transfer money to one person and another. you can mark private, so i guess that's just not exactly the case. kevin o'leary, our good friend on your show, on how the actions have a big brother tone. listen. >> this concept is widely known

amongst data providers as data scraping and so it's used all the time to target consumers for digital advertising. this is a big business now and we have all become pretty complacent. it has a big brother tone to it but happens every single day. >> sandra: every single day and like we are supposed to get used to it and let it continue to happen. this was the jordan letter to the fbi, we bolded the bottom portion here. when that list was later brought to the attention of steve jenson, the fbi then section chief of the domestic terrorism section, he acted to pull the b of a information from fbi systems because "the leads lacked allegations of federal criminal conduct." remember, b of a was the bank that voluntarily handed over this information with no legal process. >> brian: my humble opinion,

what he's trying to say, you can't hunt for a problem. you have to say you have a problem and tell me why you need this information. when someone works in a bank, a sense that it's going to be between the bank and me, not the bank, me and whoever wants to see my stuff because they say that there might be some illegal activity. no way to prove it, no reason for it, hunt around and see if they find people on these hot spots. i also think it's interesting they have people like lone actor, when you are a lone actor or somebody -- you don't really know -- you don't label yourself that. that's something that they want to put 2 and 2 together for and the fisa get me permission, nothing, i'm going to hunt around and see if i see people that love pro bass shops and dick's sporting goods. even if it's running shoes, you might be buying a gun. >> sandra: you know why i love seeing you so much, i'm closer to the weekend and closer to one nation with brian kilmeade. that's coming up.

>> brian: on sunday, too, on fox nation, streaming at 3:00 eastern time on stage in joliet, illinois, so i'll be saturday night and then going over to joliet, illinois after and then new hampshire to meet you by the big board. >> sandra: teddy and booker t on stage, streaming live, something to watch in the afternoon because america is sick of football. >> sandra: i grew up a stone's throw from joliet. with the chicago accent sounds more. >> brian: what's the right way to say it? >> joliet is fine with the new york accent. john. >> john: just me or does brian have too much free time? the battle over border security in texas rages own. lone star state has defied orders from the biden administration to reopen an eagle pass park to federal agents, instead they are now putting in even more razor wire and fencing. matt finn is live in eagle pass,

texas. and matt, this is a brewing battle. >> john, not only has texas not complied with the federal deadline, right now it seems like texas is doubling down by assembling even more fencing and barbed wire. we have some fresh video to show you right now the texas national guard is not far from where i'm standing and it is putting together new fencing and razor wire which we have seen is deterring migrants. the razor wire is at the center of the lawsuit between texas and the federal government. texas says barbed wire prevents illegal migrants from crossing and does not want border patrol removing it or touching it. texas dps tells me this wire demonstrates that texas is more capable of deterring migrants, arguing the biden administration does not care about an open border. >> we are trying to prevent illegal border crossings so we don't see this loss of life. it's not normal, it's not humane to cross a river, including

children, but contradicts what they are trying to do, the government want to keep the border open. >> the state of texas is arresting migrants who illegally cross into the park and the state under the emergency declaration of governor abbott. a change in procedure here. for nearly three years, leading all the way up to this past december, migrants have been able to freely cross the river into this park and texas, sometimes they were ushered across the river by the united states and then processed by border patrol, which is part of the reason texas says it kicked out biden's border agents. texas says border patrol was a magnet for illegal immigration because migrants and cartels were able to stand on the mexican side of the river and were incentivized to cross illegally, they could see other migrants who were crossed and welcomed by border patrol. however, border patrol argues being kicked out of here reduces

the ability for texas and the federal government to respond together in emergencies to save lives. john. >> john: matt finn for us, eagle pass, texas. thank you. >> sandra: a public hospital that serves 25% of denver's population is on the brink of collapsing because illegal migrants are overwhelming the system there. we are going to speak directly to a rep from that hospital on what is happening and why they are now turning away patients, plus this. >> that we don't know what's going on, we don't know he's alive, not alive, we don't know where he is, we don't know a lot of stuff. >> i go to any place, any where, speak to the devil if that brings my son back. >> john: hostage families holding out hope more than 100 days after terrorists kidnapped innocent israelis. how do we make sense of it all? well, music can sometimes be a powerful tool and one

it's not a political one, it's not a pro israeli video, it's not anti-palestinian video, frankly, the hero of this video is a palestinian woman. if anything, it's an anti-evil video. look, if any group, if any nation took hostages, committed these atrocities, this song would remain the same. only the names would change. if we cannot condemn evil acts, raping, murdering women, young girls, kidnapping grandmothers, beheading babies, putting babies in ovens, baking them in front of their parents, filming it and sending it to the victim's families, if we cannot condemn it without words like context, but then we certainly i think have lost our minds, we have lost our souls and frankly you are seeing the collapse in all institutions of america, certainly you mentioned academia, the media, and tragically, in the house of

bastions of antisemitism for decades. but to see this, to see jewish students afraid to go to class, to see protestors celebrating these atrocities. i think we were still all stunned and you showed in the initial clip a headline that we put in this video that more than half of our youth from 18 to 24 believe that israel should be ended. can you imagine that? how depressing is that, and i think that goes right to our elite universities and i think those harvard presidents, mit president, cornell, nyu, go down the list, i think it was very very revealing their attitude of context and the fact they could not call out the antisemitism. it's a cancer that is metastasizing and if we don't face it now, i think there may be no coming back from it. >> john: the moment on capitol hill here when the three university presidents were questioned by elise stefanik made it into the video, and you put it together with a very

secretary of the u.n. for his words of wisdom, we are broken, we have always known u.n. is kind of a joke. and john, it's not just repugnant, it's dangerous. if you have media supporters of hamas, academia, the u.n., it enables the terrorists to do it again. they know they have these allies in the press all over the place. it makes the next massacre more likely to happen and we cannot accept that. >> john: and i just want to go to the end of the music video as well, because you come full circle. you begin at the super nova festival and end in the aftermath of the festival, and poignant quote from martin luther king, watch here. ♪ ok ♪

of the camera lens. it's only added up to a dusting, maybe more in some spots throughout the day today. but the ohio department of transportation is already working, they have 400 crew members, excuse me, 400 crews out across the state right now, ready to start plowing as soon as that snow does come down. they would typically be pretreating the roads but already had a system come in on tuesday and significant salt is already down, so things are still fairly pretreated since tuesday, and the ohio department of transportation, press secretary matt bruning says they are just waiting, they have crews that will be working in 12-hour shifts once the snow gets going. so, 12 hours on, go home, a nap, another 12 hours on and doing that right through the rest of this weekend. i want to show you this video, this happened on tuesday. this is of a snowplow truck that got hit by a civilian driver trying to pass it up on the left

in between the truck and the median. dangerous, right? this is exactly what you don't want to do. you want to give the snowplow drivers plenty of room to operate to make sure the roads are clear and make everything safe for you and the rest of your family and again, the snow really starts to come down tonight at 10:00. we'll be here live covering it all day long. >> john: i would say the driver got what they deserved but the problem is it showed down the snowplow driver from doing his work. i dare say, if everybody had a hat like that winter would be no problem. stream it on your favorite connected device, always on and always free. >> sandra: migrants arriving in denver is pushing that health system to its breaking point. the denver healthcare system is now saying that it has provided more than $130 million of medical care that it still has not received payment for with

thousands of migrants contributing to that bill. joining us with an update is steven federico, chief government and community affairs officer for denver health. sir, thank you for joining us. first off, what exactly is happening with the healthcare in that hospital? can somebody showing up right now that needs care get it? >> yeah, thank you for having us, sandra. so, denver health is very proud of its 160 year mission of providing healthcare to people in denver regardless of their ability to pay. just to correct one fact, last year we did provide $130 million of uncompensated care and a small portion of that is related to the recent arrival of many migrants, but the baseline for our hospital was at $130 million prior to the arrival of this population. >> sandra: ok. that would be an important clarification, so you are saying that all these migrants are showing up at the hospital are not racking up big bills? >> no, they absolutely are

contributing to that. we estimate that we have seen about 8,000 of these newly arrived migrants in our hospital system from emergency rooms to primary care to dental clinics, and of course the lack of a federal response to the healthcare needs of this population results in their inability to pay for the majority of this care. so it has contributed to our financial distress. >> sandra: to be clear, what do you think the federal government is responsible for, how should it be stepping in here? >> well, i think we need to provide basic needs to these populations. you know, they are coming to our hospital as patients with basic healthcare needs, such as respiratory illness, gi illness, asthma and diabetes, seeing severe dental disease in the population. some have acute illness as a result of their journey, living in unsanitary conditions,

drinking poor drinking water so we are doing the best we can from a clinical standpoint to take care of them but we really need a system in place to help pay for that medical care, to make sure these patients get the needed care, needed medication, get the needed follow-up and the lack of a structured system to pay for that is making it extremely difficult for our clinical teams. >> what do you say to some who say the structured system should be our secured borders. they are coming in because they can, and they are coming in and texas has been inundated. their resources are dried up, hospitals are overflowing, their cities are paying a huge economic price, and so now they are going to other cities and now falling in the lap of denver and as far as we are being told, your healthcare system is inundated. >> yeah, huge shout out to our mayor and our federal delegation for calling on the federal government to support this

population as they await additional policies that will call for their long-term viability in this country. i think it's important we need to provide social infrastructure for them, places to stay, food to eat and healthcare. healthcare needs to be a key component to the response of the population. >> sandra: and obviously that is your job and we understand that. there is a huge economic concern, there's only so much that our system will be able to bear, and others will have to pay for that eventually, and that is a question, where does that money come from. your mayor, johnson, who you just referenced, he said there's a big problem with the lack of work permits for these migrants and what he called was a broken federal system. listen here. >> it is unsustainable in the current structure. when we have 30 or 40,000 people arriving without work authorization, without federal support, it is going to be a huge drain on cities. if you send someone to denver

who has to wait six years for a court hearing and they cannot work in the meantime, we need almost endless amounts of support. >> sandra: feels like what he's pointing to is the process here. when you've got all these tens of thousands of people arriving without work authorization, without federal support, this is a huge strain on the local level of so many of these cities who have said we welcome everyone. >> yeah, we are proud to stand with the mayor in response to the humanitarian crisis and absolutely need additional funding to provide sustainable infrastructure to support their path forward. i agree. i think allowing them to work is absolutely a part of the next steps that it's going to take to provide the funding, but we also need federal support in the meantime. especially around the healthcare costs. you know, our staff are being asked to staff up, see extra patients, and then the moral strife that comes with discharging a patient, not knowing if they have the money they need to fill the needed

prescription, finds transportation to a follow-up care, come back for additional care, it's extremely strenuous on the staff and i really feel for them. >> sandra: do you have any doctors saying they can't do it anymore, that it's just too much? i mean, is there staff saying that they are leaving? >> no, our staff are very proud to fulfill the mission of denver health to provide care to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. very much responding to humanitarian crisis of these patients. >> sandra: we understand. >> we need additional support to do it and to do it well. >> sandra: have you had to turn away any patients? >> no, we will always see patients, especially through the emergency department, the vast majority of patients currently. >> sandra: the headline everywhere is you had to turn away patients. is that not the case? >> no, always see them through the emergency department regardless of ability. the ability to follow up is

limited based on physical capacity and lack of resources to do so. >> sandra: understood. thank you for your time, sir. you have a huge task at hand. thank you very much. >> thank you for covering the story. appreciate you. >> john: lawmakers questioning hunter biden's close friend, some call him his sugar daddy. what is he telling them? >> sandra: the houthis are not stopping their attacks even after the u.s. striking back and redesignating them as a terrorist often. former cia station chief dan hoffman says the houthis have always been terrorists and fighting with the u.s. only advances their cause. he's here next. there's an old saying in the navy

>> are the airstrikes in yemen working? >> well, when you say working, are they stopping the houthis, no. are they going to continue, yes. >> john: u.s. conducting retaliatory strikes in yemen as houthi rebels continue to hit ships in the middle east. they have hit a u.s. ship after they were designated a foreign terrorist. dan hoffman joins us. delineation between specially designated global terrorist entity, what biden did in putting them back on the list, and then the higher category of foreign terrorist organization. any idea why biden would stop where he did and not go all the way back to where trump had them? >> dan: i think we have to ask the biden administration that question, but frankly, john, this is a bit of bureaucratic

word salad. what matters is we are not deterring the houthis from disrupting global trade through the red sea. they are continuing to launch attacks against the united states and our allies. they are terrorists and this is oxygen for them. the war against the united states is oxygen for their public relations, for increased funding from iran, and to generate more recruits around the world and more terrorist operations against us. >> john: so we heard biden say are we striking them, yes. is it stopping them, no. so, many military analysts think this is going to continue to go on until biden decides that he is going to hit the head of the snake, and that is iran. what the "wall street journal" said, iran and the houthis are putting american lives at risk, even if the leaders in iran hide their intent. they think mr. biden will never attack iran military,

consequences of failed deterrence with u.s. servicemen paying the price. is there a way, dan, you think biden could strike iran that would not broaden this into a wider conflict and would send a message to iran that they got to back off? >> dan: well, i think we are already in a fairly wider conflict right now. i think there are two things the administration could do. first, it's one thing to strike houthi munitions to degrade their capability. but really the counter terrorism fight is all about targeting senior houthi terrorists themselves. we have to find and fix and finish those targets and that's how we make it safer for us in the red sea. and then yes, i think we can demonstrate to iran we are capable of interdicting iran's efforts to resupply houthis with munitions and ratchet up against iran. pakistan launched an attack in iran. we have seen tit for tat kinetic

strikes. the trump administration lethally headed the head ever the irgc, soleimani, and many believe that reestablished escalation dominance over iran. >> john: biden seems to want to be cautious, he says don't, but the iranians say do, do, do. not sure it's going to change a lot in the days ahead. dan hoffman, appreciate it. >> sandra: another countdown is on, john. and new hampshire is up next. why is the desantis campaign shifting more and more resources already to another state? where people can feel safe asking questions about spirituality. i try to provide a really accessible way of them learning about religion and spirituality, that's not intimidating. somebody in the comments said, i have no idea how i got on nun talk, but i'm not mad about it.

march 1 and march 8. >> john: just had an alarm go off to remind you that we're days away from the republican new hampshire primary. ron desantis' campaign appears to be pivoting and sending some staff to south carolina. the home state of nikki haley. alexis mcadams joins us now. what did he have to say? >> hey, john. we had a quick chance to sit down with desantis before he hit the road and wept back to florida. he says that it's just for one night basically so he could sleep in his own bed in florida and come back on the ground here in new hampshire. he wants to make it clear to voters that he's not giving up on the granite state and had a message to nikki haley telling her she has no chance of beating trump here. watch. >> are you surprised that nikki haley is doing so well in new hampshire? >> she's not doing that well. trust me. she got media attention and then got scrutiny. she cannot beat donald trump in

new hampshire. she definitely can't beat him in her home state of south carolina. >> former president trump also focusing his attacks on nikki haley last night at his rally in ports smith saying she's soft when it comes to securing the nation's border. >> just because trump said something doesn't mean it's true. he had a temper tantrum at a rally. what he saying? i wasn't for the border. i was the governor that passed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country. >> and what do voters here care about, john and sandra? immigration and the economy. they say everything is costing more across the country, especially when they go to the grocery store. we checked in with chris sununu. i asked him if people care about the polls. he said no. watch. >> how much stock do you new hampshire voters pull in those polls? >> so this is the best part about polls. when a poll is good a politician will tout it all day.

they don't mean anything. >> and important to remember that the candidates have personal lives. we checked in with haley about something going on with her family. her dad has been sick. so she had to fly back to south carolina in the past few days and leave new hampshire. she's here on the ground now really trying to gain support. we'll keep an eye on that. >> john: in terms of the polls in iowa, they were pretty accurate. we'll see what the polls in new hampshire say on tuesday night. alexis, great to talk to you. we'll be right back. suv when... crack! safelite came right to us, and we could see exactly when they'd arrive with a replacement we could trust. that's service the way we want it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ life, diabetes, there's no slowing down. each day is a unique blend of people to see and things to do. that's why you choose glucerna to help manage blood sugar response. uniquely designed with carbsteady. glucerna. bring on the day.
