and support at caplyta.com >> john: concern is growing after hotter than expected inflation reports, rising food costs continue to climb under president joe biden and both buyers and sellers are getting squeezed. fox business jeff flock is in a very large room surrounded by fresh food. where are you, jeff? >> this is what they call a cold room at the philadelphia wholesale produce market. these guys are getting squeezed by inflation. why is that? the costs to them remain high but unfortunately people don't want to pay the higher prices for what they are selling. take a look at the numbers from the january cpi, maybe you see a lot of things were down in january. gas prices were down, used cars were down, clothing. when it comes to food, that was one of the ones that was up. we talked to some of the folks

operating here, a guy who owns a small produce operation buying at the wholesale markets says prices keep going up. he does not know where the end is. >> from the carrots to the specialty items, everything is high and staying high. you wait for relief and hope it comes. >> i am right in the middle of the market right now, maybe you see, john, this is a quarter miles' worth of folks selling produce. it's very active early in the day, sort of falling off right now, i leave you with real quick states, worse food inflation, pennsylvania where we stand. tough stuff these days, especially if you are in the middle, you get squeezed by both ends. john. >> john: it's a lot of yams there, a lot of cash for the yams as well. jeff, thank you.

president biden facing new questions about his age and mental fitness for 2024 as another point of pressure brews in the battleground state of michigan, sparked by a fellow democrat. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into a second hour. john roberts in washington. good to be with you for another week, sandra. >> sandra: you as well, john. rashida tlaib is urge michigan voters to vote uncommitted, and some may be hoping for another option in 2024. donald trump and nikki haley are both holding rallies as haley claims trump is more focused on the courtroom than the campaign. >> john: fox team covering now, jonathan turley on trump's legal troubles, alexandria hoff, but first, mark meredith live at the white house. has the president responded to

tlaib's political punch yet? >> no, but it could reignite the debate whether or not the president can or should be the democratic party standard bearer. he kept his comments focused on foreign policy but is the issue of foreign policy, specifically u.s. support for israel, that has congresswoman tlaib, a palestinian american, making this plea for the party to abandon biden. >> right now we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government. if you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted. >> a poll taken shows 20% of registered voters believe the president will be replaced as the nominee. 27% say not at all likely so voters are split here. plenty of high profile support in his party and the surrogates racing to his defense, including

michigan congresswoman debbie dingell. >> there's nobody better than joe biden. i think the campaign needs to let him get out there and be who he is and i am sick and tired of everybody talking about his age. >> the age issue continues to pop back up. a report in axios the white house is getting ready to reset the message, the way things are going with the state of the union address, set for early march and before then, tomorrow, john, the president will head out west to california for some fundraisers. needs a lot of money for the campaign. >> john: and not until the end of march 1968, lyndon johnson said not going to run for re-election, leading to a chaotic convention in chicago. that's where this year's is. will history repeat itself. >> sandra: south carolina, former president trump and his last remaining challenger nikki haley are sharpening attacks

with days to go to the republican primary. allison is in greenville, south carolina. nikki haley wrapping up an event moments ago. what's her message to voters? >> foreign policy a big one, she kept up with a very continually, very rapid fire schedule. meanwhile, former president trump has not been here, she's critical of that so far. she's been hammering the former president, various topics, legal case load, electability in general and foreign policy. john dove into that last night with a town hall with the long shot contender in columbia, where he criticized putin and nato. >> if putin's mouth is open he is lying and we need to be aware of that. it was so damaging when trump said that he would choose putin and actually encourage putin to

invade nato allies instead of standing with our allies that stood with us at 9/11. >> at a rally in michigan, trump condemned the legal cases against him, speaking little of south carolina or haley, for that matter. but he did say while president he was no pawn of putin. >> i stopped -- i stopped nord stream two, it was stopped, biden approved it, he let russia build the pipeline to germany and other places but stopped the keystone, 48,000 jobs. >> the latest university poll puts the former president at 58-32% lead over haley, set to arrive in the state tomorrow. and critical of the fact that democrats can participate in the republican primary on saturday, so long as they did not cast a vote in the democratic primary earlier this month, sandra.

>> sandra: thank you. >> john: jonathan turley, constitutional law professor and fox news contributor. professor, let's go back to the donald trump case, the real estate fraud case before judge engoron. you said the judgment in the case will make doing business in new york like buying estates in the french revolution. the kathy hochul tried to change that by this. >> i think it's an extraordinarily unusual circumstance that the law abiding and rule following business people have nothing to worry about. they are very different than donald trump and his behavior. >> john: the fact she came out to sooth fears like that, indicates you probably either hit a nerve or you articulated the reality of what people are thinking in new york.

>> well, you know, it's a curious defense. what the governor is saying, you don't have to worry if you are not donald trump in new york. that's the problem, that's why the judgment has to be reversed. but for businesses, if the only thing between them and this type of corporate public execution is the level of discretion of letitia james, then they are going to move to florida pretty quickly. you know, the suggestion is don't worry, we've got your back, this is really something all about trump. well, tomorrow it might be all about them. people in business look for those liabilities they can control. they are margin actors. they look to see where -- am i going to be able to flourish. and in the past, new york has drawn businesses because of its legal system. there has always been a lot of crime, always been all of these inconveniences with new york. but it was also the center not

just of business, but of business law. what james did is erased all of that. she campaigned on bagging donald trump, she used the law that has never been used in this way against him, and she got a judge who just imposed damages that are greater than the gnp of some countries. >> john: trump said this over the weekend. >> the case is a complete and total sham. it's a sham case. there were no victims, no defaults, no damages, no complaints, no nothing, there was nothing. >> john: there was nothing here, and i don't know if it was you or somebody else that said letitia james charged the person, she didn't charge the crime. >> yeah, part of the disconnect here is that you have what will be over $455 million if you include interest, and then on the other side of the ledger,

you have 0. there's not a single dollar lost by these victims. in fact, the people that james calls the victims actually wanted to do more business with donald trump, they said they made a lot of money, and they viewed him as a whale client. they wanted more loans with him. and what's really insidious about this, another provision in new york law that requires trump to pony up the full amount or to get a bond for that amount just to appeal this decision. so it's sort of a perverse incentive, he could force trump to liquidate assets to get other judges to look at this. it's a grossly unfair situation and i suspect businesses are uneasy by watching this unfold. >> john: they just increased the tax base, maybe there are other

big whales to go after as well. professor, always great to catch up with you. thank you. so yesterday in our town hall, sandra, nikki haley said one of the reasons to not vote for donald trump because he's going to spend every day in a courtroom rather than out on the campaign trail. we'll hear from him about that tomorrow night. >> sandra: yeah. no, really interesting moment and i think one that addresses concerns of some voters out there, john, good question, and love the town hall. good stuff. >> john: in fact, let's play out what she said about that. >> the problem is, this is someone we are talking about could win the republican nomination, and he's gonna be in court march and april, may and june, he by his own words said he's going to be spending more time in court than he is on the campaign trail. that's a problem. the republicans will not win if donald trump is the nominee. >> john: what i said to her after she said that was well, trump says he's going to campaign at night if he has to

spend all day in the courtroom and i covered him for six years and he has got the energy and the stamina to do both, i think. he used to run the press corps ragged. he's got more energy than most people i've ever seen. >> sandra: and the campaigns and this administration, much different than the previous administration for sure, john. >> john: sometimes they call it first thing in the morning. apparently after we pointed that out one day, they stopped doing that. >> sandra: we'll see. meanwhile, new data showing a record number of nypd officers injured on the job. one reason why so many say they are leaving the force. congresswoman nicole malliotakis represents part of new york city. plus this. >> get my rent ready. >> that's how that works. >> john: i love this. a third grade teacher is finding fun ways to teach her students

officers showed up to that home early sunday morning in burnsville, about 16 miles south of minneapolis and spent several hours talking with the heavily armed suspect trying to get him out of the house where he was hold up with a woman and seven kids, ranging from 2 to 15 years old. at least one of the officers was in the house when the gunman started shooting, hitting one of the officers and then continued shooting at them from the first and second floor of the home. two other officers were hit, and then a firefighter paramedic who was trying to save one of the injured officers got shot as well. that paramedic, 40-year-old finseth died, along with the two other officers. a third officer is expected to survive. >> we are all hurting. our officers, our fire

department, our families, our staff, our community. >> this is the toughest day the city of burnsville and public safety family has ever experienced. >> several hundred officers and firefighters lined the streets outside the medical examiner's office in minneapolis to pay their respects and last night several hundred people gathered for a vigil to honor and remember their sacrifices. police have not identified the gunman, they believe they know who he is, but they are waiting for the medical examiner to perform the autopsy and to confirm that information some time later today. john. >> john: what a shame. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: nypd officers are coming off a record number of injuries last year, with more than 5300 officers injured in 2023 alone and over 1200 of them in just the last three months of the year. this comes as the nypd is facing a growing police shortage as officers are fleeing in droves. let's bring in new york republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis.

thank you for being here. a situation you know about all too well. why are so many more police officers leaving the force? >> look, the democrats that run our city and state have made it impossible for the police officers to do their job. they want to get bad people off the street, and when they have their hands tied, whether it's the bail laws, whether it's things like taking away the qualified immunity protection, inability to cooperate with ice to deport people committing crimes is tragic. and the chart, you've seen a double digit increase year after year since the 2020 defund the police movement and here in new york city you are talking about nearly 20% of our cops, between 15 and 20% of the cops that are being attacked, and it's no i think surprise to people that the borough in which we are seeing the most attacks is the borough of the bronx, represented by people like alexandria ocasio-cortez, jamal

bowman, people who have purposely come out against our police and supported the defund the police movement. so i think there's a lack of leadership from our local elected officials. >> sandra: and paul mauro was talking about this this morning and said he feels for the officers out there trying to do their job and everything is completely undone before their eyes. this is mauro this morning. >> arrests in manhattan are up one-third. so what does that tell you? the cops are working, they are out there, trying to do the job and yet everything they do is instantaneously undone in front of their eyes. >> sandra: you look at the d.a., alvin bragg, felony cases downgraded by the manhattan d.a., 2023, 938, 60% of them. look at 2020, the numbers are only going up. so when police see this is happening and criminals are just let free to walk and roam the

streets. >> the low morale, the person is released before the shift is over. albanian kathy hochul, city hall as well, and the d.a.s not using -- prosecuting crimes as they could be. the only reason those individuals who were here legally and attacked police officers arrested and charged because there was such outrage from the community. if not, bragg would have let them on the street. probably not even prosecuting them. that's the problem. that was the one we heard about. but so many other officers are being attacked each and every day and we don't even know about it. so unless the media is highlighting it, it's a shame. so these police officers, i do feel bad for them, it's really hard to do your job in new york city and you would think in a post 9/11 world we would have more respect and appreciation and give the tools they need and

not hold back, particularly cooperating with federal authorities. >> sandra: even the mayor lamenting his hands are tied, and looping it in with the migration crisis, r illegal immigrants, new york city eric adams, on "the sanctuary trap." listen to what we heard. >> think about what a sanctuary is. a place to come and not prosecuted and harmed. law states we cannot notify ice. i cannot break the law and enforce the law. >> sandra: how do you fix the problem? >> well, the mayor should be putting a bill before the city council asking them to repeal that so nypd can cooperate and deport people here committing crimes. but i also have a problem with the mayor because he continues to house these individuals so somebody gets arrested for a crime, one woman eight times arrested, released repeatedly and goes back to the luxury hotel room that we the people are paying for in the form of our tax dollars. the mayor could do something

more here to not incentivize people, and certainly not giving free luxury hotel rooms for people committing crimes in the city. he talks a lot, but at the end of the day there is something he can do to end the crisis. >> sandra: you certainly have sort of seen him change his tune as this crisis has worsened here in the city. congresswoman, good of you to be here. thanks for joining us. ok. john. >> john: sandra, texas is razor wire fence reducing crossings along the once busy rio grande, but that is causing cartels to shift west to california where massive groups of migrants are overwhelming border agents. >> sandra: we will ask brandon judd why president biden is not interested in the border wall despite the new found success. >> this is an army of illegal migrants coming to the country without permission. unlawful intrusion every state in this country, every state is a border state.

>> sandra: the biden administration touts border policies focusing on fixing the root causes of migration, but after being in charge more than three years now, it has little progress to show for its efforts. william has more from los angeles for us. william, what's gone wrong with the president's policy, specifically? >> well, that's a long list, sandra. what i can say this. president biden's most enduring legacy may be the one he is not talking about now, or any more, his attempt to stop the border crisis by convincing migrants to stay home. >> i'm not making new law, i'm eliminating bad policy. >> after president biden abolished trump's immigration policy adopted his own root cause strategy. >> president biden asked me to lead the u.s. government's focus on addressing the root causes of

migration. >> yet in three years, vice president harris visited just two central american countries where she told locals. >> do not come. >> ignoring that, 2 million migrants from guatemala, honduras, el salvador, entered illegally. >> obviously it didn't work. illegal immigration is higher than it was when they had the root cause strategy. >> i've asked the congress for $4 billion. >> president biden doubled down, offering northern triangle countries billions over what taxpayers have doled out. and mexico, despite a much improved quality of life, hundreds of thousands seek a better one each year in the u.s. >> a root causes strategy assumes we are going to raise the entire planet to a higher standard of living. it just exposes the absurdity of it. >> more than half who enter

illegally, come from africa, asia, other countries ignored by the biden-harris root cause policy. so the problem is u.s. taxpayers cannot afford to bail out every country whose residents seek better paying jobs in the u.s. sandra. >> sandra: thank you. interesting stuff. >> this man has an i love new york, you want to go to new york? >> no. >> where do you want to go? >> i'm from colombia. >> this gentleman is from cameroon. >> john: all over the world. griff jenkins catching up with a group of migrants at california's southern border as the crisis appears to be moving west. jacumba, california, the new hot spot is putting more pressure on san diego. a migrant center will shut its doors for good five months after they opened saying they have hit a breaking point.

bring in brandon judd, president of the national border patrol council. good to be with you. south bay community services. it had been open just five months with a budget of $6 million which it blew through more quickly than anybody thought it could have because it was simply overwhelmed and these are the quiet effects of an open border. >> yeah, this clearly shows that throwing money at this problem is not going to solve it. in fact, when you throw money at it, all you are doing is encouraging more people to cross our borders illegally. when you offer free housing, offer benefits, all you are sending the message throughout the world is please come, we are going to give you stuff. so, throwing money at this issue is not going to solve it. we have got to look at policies and until we address that, we are not going to get this under control. >> all right. but we had a place it was at least housing all the illegal migrants coming, or a good number coming across the border. when facilities like that close, what's the ripple effect?

>> well, they are just going to be transported throughout the entire united states. they are going to go to sanctuary cities, a large part will go to sanctuary cities. they are going to go to where they know they are not going to be prosecuted for violating other laws, you know. it's -- they violate the laws when they cross illegally and then go to the sanctuary cities, violate other laws knowing they are not prosecuted. so these individuals are going to be dispersed throughout the entire united states until they get there, though, they are going to be waiting on the streets. that's what's going to happen. >> john: as we have been showing folks over the last couple of months, the state of texas has taken extraordinary measures to stop migrants from setting foot on the united states. once they do, then they have to be processed. if you can keep them from setting foot on u.s. soil you don't have to deal with them. so, texas has got so much of the rio grande basically fenced off now with fencing concertina wire and other barricades, the migrants and the cartels are

shifting west to arizona and california. this is going to cause problems, obviously, for arizona and california. is this an indication that if you take measures to stop people from coming across the border, you can actually deal with the problem? >> yeah, absolutely. and governor hobbs and governor newsom, they need to look at what texas is doing and recognize that if it weren't for texas, they would -- if it wasn't for the government of texas they would still be underwater and inundated. these are certain things we can do. it proves barriers work, that walls work, proves infrastructure work if we are willing to implement the measures that we know have worked in the past. but unfortunately, we just know that democrats are not willing to do it. governor hobbs has not stepped to the plate, governor newsom has not stopped to the plate. it's only been governor abbott. and until others follow suit, we are not going to get it under control. >> sandra: so the foreign aid

supplemental bill passed the senate with no money for the southern border, let president biden to blame republicans for the border. is there anything in the bill proposed that would have done anything to stop the pull effect, to stop all of these folks from coming up to the border and trying to get across? >> there was. there were several measures really, really good, such as raising the bar of the credible fear standards, facilitates release under normal circumstances. remove the judiciary out of the process, now we don't have the backlog in the judicial system, we would have been able to detain and hold single adults, including married couples until they are removed. allowed asylum officers to determine credible fear and then go to a panel and then removed. there were several policy issues in that bill that would have been extremely good. there were some other things that weren't good. i would have loved to have seen it gone to the floor for debate

and amendment process, unfortunately it did not make it there. >> john: all right. well, i don't know if anything will happen before the november election but we'll keep following this. thanks for your time. appreciate it. >> sandra: popular weight loss drugs are draining state budgets. one state finally says it's had enough. plus this. >> i am going to take your money. >> no! >> yeah, i'm taking your money. >> john: my favorite story of the day. north carolina teacher getting creative, teaching her kids about finance and the real world. meet the third grade teacher charging her students rent, coming up next.

as cost spiral out of control. listen. >> i want to be very clear that this decision by the board is not something that any board member desired. but it's what we had to do in order to keep the plan solvent. >> now, the state will spend $170 million on weight loss drugs this year, and if no changes were made, they estimate a billion by 2030. discontinuing support of drugs like ozempic for weight loss but continuing them for folks with diabetes, and a small proportion users, 3300, out of 25,000 users. and increased to 23,000 up from 2700 in mid 2021. now, some of these users are 12 years old. each prescription costs the state 800 bucks a month after

rebates. north carolina is not the only state holding back as i said, 35 states, including new york, do not cover so-called glp1 drugs, 16 states do. california is one of those. and it's not just states struggling with costs. one blackstone executive estimated the costs could put companies out of business. now, the cost mainly accelerate as more and more children take the drug as i said, they are paying for kids as young as 12, and users are expected to continue the drug for the rest of their lives. john. >> john: when you look at it, obesity rate in north carolina is 30%, 10 million people there, if you were to reduce the health costs from obesity through these drugs, i mean you would have to crunch the numbers but close. >> i think it's the worry they are not going to be able to make the budget. if they want to pay higher taxes in north carolina, to sponsor state users, then so be it,

right. >> john: always good to see you. thank you. l>> sandra: a third grade teacher in north carolina is being praised for showing kids what the real world is actually like. charging rent for their desks and chairs and even giving each student a job that they get paid for. >> you have to pay me rent. you have to pay me for the nice desk you got and the nice blue chair that you are sitting in. remember how much rent costs. jason. >> five. >> $5. >> sandra: that's shelby latimore, she joins us live now, third grade math teacher from charlotte, north carolina. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> i'll keep it miss latimore in case the kids are watching or watch later on. this caught our eye, in the era of inflation, parents are trying to get kids to understand real money and what it really takes. why did you take this approach with the kids?

>> absolutely. i mean, any kid living anywhere of any means needs to learn the physical dollar, they need to learn where it comes from, how to earn it, how to intend it, and they should learn how they want to spend their money. so it's really important for kids to learn this and it was not something mandated for them to be taught as well as it kept my kids excited to come to school, which any kid needs to be excited to come to school. >> sandra: the point you made and usa today highlighted you, the point kids never see physical money, an app for that, or a credit card, it's plastic, and don't exchange the cash and really see, you know, how much is there. so, this is one of your tiktok videos, it's a funny moment when a student handed you all of his money. watch this. >> did you just hand me all your money? >> no. >> yeah, you did. back up, back up, what did i tell you about handing people all your money? >> you keep it. >> you just handed me everything

that's in your wallet? oh, that's a lot of trust you got for me, my boy, a lot of trust. >> you can't trust her. >> sandra: the videos have gone viral. people like what you are doing here and you said the goal of the program was to improve in attendance. you can really hear the enthusiasm from the kids. did it help boost attendance in class? >> oh, absolutely. even to today, we just have -- we just put in a banker, so basically our banker takes over my role, they write the receipts, they stand out paychecks, they collect fines, and our first specific banker, we dealt with a few attendance issues with the student and they know they have to be on time before the bell rings in order to do the job and they have been in class on time every day since they got their job. so they are excited for the responsibility and to come to school to do this. >> sandra: we applaud you. applaud all teachers that care enough about their students to

get creative and really figure out solutions to problems like that. miss latimore, this is a latimore buck, you started out the year they have the wallet and keep the latimore bucks in there, creative stuff. so, another one of your videos and exchange with another one of your students. listen here. >> and you have $7 in that wallet after $30. >> 9. >> you have 9. >> ouch, this hurts. >> what do you mean it hurts? paying this much money? >> yes. >> that's how i feel every day of my life. >> don't we all? what a lesson. >> honestly, they learn that things have a price tag, they have a cost, and even the concept of learning to budget, you know, when they have to -- when they want to buy a reward that costs more, sometimes they sit out for a reward day and they build up what's in their wallet. so it's definitely a lesson they enjoy. >> sandra: miss latimore, the
