11:00 am
cornblue, since the infamous hearing in december, when she appeared with the presidents of harvard and u-penn that did not say that calling for the genocide of jews is against rules. two jewish students have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against mit as of yesterday arguing the school approves of antisemitic activities on campus and tolerates harassment against jews. mit has responded noting the institute does not comment on pending litigation. when it comes to fox's letter, they are examining, and they are committed to responding to the committee's questions. aishah. >> aishah: molly line, thank you. >> let me repeat, under biden's administration, 15 million jobs. you have a stock market that has hit the heights 4 or 5 times. >> to hear him put in perspective the achievements on the infrastructure front but
11:01 am
across the board on issue after issue, he laid out both achievements and an agenda for the future. >> the average american household is better off in real terms. >> the white house touting the resiliency of the biden economy and the president is getting ready to head to philadelphia to kick off a 20-state blitz to tout the economic record. hello, on this friday afternoon. great to have you here today. >> thank you for having me. aishah hasnie in for john roberts on this friday. this is "america reports". the president is using the address to the nation to try to win americans back on the economy, calling it not inflation, it's corporate shrinkflation. but we caught up with americans at a diner in the last hour and they're not buying it. >> frankly, when i see a difference in the total at the bottom of my receipt at the grocery store and the gas station, that's when i'll start feeling better about the economy. >> we might want something really bad but it's four more
11:02 am
dollars more expensive, so we get the cheaper one. >> sandra: complete coverage now, speaking with the federal reserve bank of chicago president whether americans can expect any sort of reave on interest rates in the coming weeks. >> aishah: but first hillary vaughan live on capitol hill and the president making higher taxes a focus on his re-election agenda. >> he did, he spent more time talking about taxes last night than he spent talking about tackling inflation. >> it's a proof of life speech, that's what it was. said i'm alive and able to give a speech i can read off a teleprompter and do the whisper, mostly the screaming. and parts were bizarre and insulting. for example, he's out there, you know, lecturing americans about here is the message, the economy is doing much better than you think it's doing. i don't care how much things cost you, i don't care how much you are suffering. >> biden did not really talk about the cost to put food on
11:03 am
the table but did for the snack cabinet, calling out shrinkflation. >> the snack companies think you won't notice if they change the size of the bag and put a hell of a lot fewer -- same size bag, put fewer chips in it. charge the same amount and you got about, 10% fewer snickers in it. >> biden did talk about getting costs down for renters and home buyers, tax credits for a down payment and middle class families putting towards their monthly mortgage payments. republicans say president biden through spending triggered inflation pushing housing prices higher. >> they are not concerned about how many doritos are in a bag, they are concerned whether they have enough money to pay their mortgage that has doubled under him because of inflation and interest rate hikes. >> biden also introduced his plan to raise the corporate tax rate to 28% and new tax on
11:04 am
billionaires. and one says biden increasing taxes on billionaires would raise 50 billion a year. the problem is the debt is increasing at 3,000 billion per year. aishah, from tax hikes to tax cuts, it still will take congress to get all this done so we'll see if president biden can convince them to do it. aishah. >> aishah: let's see if congress can tackle that. we'll see. we won't hold our breath. hillary vaughan, thanks so much. sandra. >> sandra: thank you, aishah. the president of the federal reserve bank of chicago, great to have you back, good to see you. >> great to see you again, sandra. >> sandra: this was biden last night and he announced a lot of new spending. listen here. >> this money is part of a larger $5 billion investment led by the department of transportation for 37 major projects. total, my administration has
11:05 am
canceled $127 billion in student debts for nearly 3.6 million americans. we are investing $2 billion to help more farmers adopt practices to fight climate change. $1 billion to fix aging critical rural infrastructure. during the pandemic, invested $350 billion in american rescue plan. >> sandra: obviously a montage of the spending biden has talked about over the past several months. is that a good idea when we are still seeing sky high prices, austin? >> well, look, sandra, you know that a year ago i moved over to the fed and once you are a fed man, you are not in the fiscal policy business. so congress has tasked the fed with what they call the dual mandate. fed's got to stabilize prizes and maximize employment. so we have to just take whatever the conditions are, whatever congress decides with the
11:06 am
president about taxes, about spending. we take that as the conditions and that's the -- i say it's the midwest motto, there's no bad weather, there is only bad clothing. and we'll -- we'll respond to whatever they decide. >> sandra: amen to that. on election night when we were parsing through the data, we put up on the screen some of the good numbers this administration can tout. the unemployment rate historic low, although it did tick back up as we saw in the report. jobs added, wages up 15%, dow up 24%. we got it. but those numbers that people are asking when they go to the ballot box, better off than three years ago, overall costs are still up. you've got a major problem when it comes to gas prices, up 40% since biden took office. real wages are down, austin, and this is the number i highlighted as well. credit card debt is soaring, up 47% over three years since
11:07 am
president biden took office. how do you look at that? >> i mean, the thing about the conditions -- i like that you are taking a longer view and in a way the fed has to take a longer view as well. you don't want to be determining each interest rate decision based on just what happened in the last month. the thing to remember is our dual mandate is about the inflation rate and the inflation rate is how much the prices went up from last year, not what's the level of prices and are they higher than they were four years ago or eight years ago or two years ago. we lost control of inflation, as everyone knows, that was by far the worst part of the economy, and that was where the fed was not doing its job. we have gotten the inflation rate down, not all the way to where we want it to be, but we
11:08 am
have gotten it down. it's not realistic to expect that we would get the price level back to what it was precovid, you would have to have deflation and a massive recession to drive the prices down. >> sandra: i'm trying to read into what you are saying, austan, and what it means to people at home. there's a reality of everyday life. when you talk inflation, you are talking about the growth rate. the number we have on the screen right now, these are prices under joe biden. they are up 18% since january 2021. we understand the difference, and you are really looking at that inflation growth rate, that's key. the target, still 2%, should it be? >> yeah, the target is 2%, and it should be. the thing is, as i say, you've got to do your job before you can talk about how you want a different job. the fed said they would get inflation to 2% so we got to get
11:09 am
inflation down to 2%. >> sandra: ok, i'm throwing a lot at you, i love having you on. we are looking at monthly mortgage payments. we looked at this with gerry baker at the top of the 1:00 hour and fascinating to so many of us see the administration touting economic success and most people the home is the largest asset they will own. monthly mortgage payments on a $400,000 home, over three years, under this presidency, they have soared 60%. and you are still looking at an interest rate environment that might not be coming down any time soon. i mean, you know larry kudlow has been writing about the affordability crisis. young americans say i'll never be able to afford a home. to that you say what? >> we have to get the inflation rate back to 2%. congress gave us that as a job. part of that is us raising interest rates. we the fed have raised interest rates and that's contributed to
11:10 am
the unaffordability, i'm not disputing that in any way. the one thing is if you already had the mortgage and you had a fixed rate, that difference between what a new mortgage would be and what your existing mortgage is, that has contributed to a little bit of the lock-in, i would say, on the negative side of the housing market that people are not selling their houses because they don't want to leave the low mortgage rate that they have locked in already. >> sandra: i have to leave it there. i could talk to you all day. finish with this. are you seeing an economy that could weather an interest rate cut this year? >> i think so, you know. i've been saying -- last year, many people thought there has never been a precedent of getting the inflation rate down 2, 3 plus percent in a year
11:11 am
without a big recession and i've been saying i thought we could do it because the covid times were kind of a weird -- it was a weird reason why we got inflation. in '23 we largely did that and you see what the jobs numbers, we do have some robustness in the economy that it doesn't feel like we are on the edge of recession so i kind of think the -- as inflation comes down, x we would be moving toward less restrictiveness over the course of the year. >> sandra: i would love it if you come back, we'll continue the conversation. full circle to the new question is if we keep spending like this and the president falls through on the big government spending, how is inflation ever going to come down and how are interest rates are coming down? great to have you on. hope you come back soon. >> sandra, any time, great to see you again. >> aishah: president biden is heading to philadelphia in just a bit here, watching air force one right now. it's one of the epicenters,
11:12 am
philadelphia is, and open air drug markets have had a devastating effect on kensington neighborhood, and jeff flock is driving the streets of kensington right now. jeff, what are we looking at? >> jeff: i don't mean to suggest everyone you see is a drug seller, user or homeless, but many of the people on the streets of kensington -- this would be the picture that the president would see were he to actually come to kensington on this philadelphia trip. i don't suspect he will. and this has been an area that has been troubled by drugs and homelessness literally for decades. so long before president biden took office. but a lot of people in this neighborhood concerned that the president really did not have much to say about drugs last night in his speech. a year ago in the state of the union he did and some would suggest that at least in philadelphia not a whole lot of
11:13 am
progress. we talked to one of the community folks here that tries to help this community, we'll try to get to more normal. she said she was disappointed in what the president had to say. >> i watched the state of the union yesterday and president joe biden did not talk about the opiate crisis and i was wait to hear about how it gets pushed under the rug. as we know fentanyl is something that is destroying and killing families. >> jeff: aishah, a new democrat mayor, she does she's named a new police commissioner and job one will be to make kensington a more livable place and a place that will have laws enforced. it has not been so much the case for a long time. not an easy -- not an easy job to turn this neighborhood around. >> aishah: jeff flock, thank you for bringing us that live
11:14 am
picture. we see it every now and then, but that was very stark. thank you, jeff. sandra, the most stunning part about that live shot was that there were no edits, jeff was rolling live through that, and it never got better. >> sandra: yeah, incredible to cities are going through, once great american cities and what they are dealing with and how far they have gone. it's going to be tough to bring them back in so many cases, aishah. thanks to jeff flock for that. >> aishah: still ahead, tiktok fighting back against a potential ban and the tactics may have left lawmakers digging in even more. steve hilton weighs in on all of that. plus this. >> if this is your vibe, i want to be friends. >> sandra: one way to bring down costs, hunting for your own food. gardening perhaps. outdoors woman eva shocky has been providing for her family for years now. she'll join us live.

>> a year before i took office murder rates went up 30%, 30% they went up. [yelling in background] >> biggest increase in history. >> sandra: a tense moment from the state of the union address, father of a marine, one of the 13 u.s. service members killed in the abbey gate bombing. steve nikoui was arrested after the outburst and now faces a misdemeanor and a fine. police say it's standard procedure for people who interrupt congress. mike johnson weighed in. >> i didn't realize it was a gold star parent. speaking of emotion, a lot of reason for them to be upset. i thought a lot of the guests in
11:20 am
the gallery were representative of some of the big mistakes the biden administration, that's one of the biggest ones, the disaster withdrawal of afghanistan. >> sandra: i don't understand a lot of us watching in realtime understood it was somebody in a lot of pain. >> aishah: i've been covering the story so long and the parents and families feel no one is paying attention to them. the president hardly ever talks about the soldiers that passed away, died, were killed at abbey gate and they just want answers and somebody to pay attention. >> you could hear the pain in his voice, for sure. >> aishah: tiktok is encouraging users to lobby lawmakers against a bill that could lead to a ban of the app the house could vote on as soon as next week. so offices across capitol hill were inundated by calls from constituents and some lawmakers say it's further proof of just how influential and dangerous
11:21 am
tiktok can really be. steve hilton is joining us now. a fox news contributor. steve, like my favorite story of the week because it's just so insane. so apparently tiktok now is at war with congress and they are doing this thing when you, as a user of the app, you pull it up and see this. basically a warning from tiktok saying look, congress is going to shut us down. and then it tells users which lawmaker represents them and lets them dial into that lawmaker and so offices now, steve, are getting flooded, the phones are ringing off the being hoo. middle school students are calling and we are hearing one middle school student basically told staffers i'm going to kill myself if you take tiktok away. i mean, doesn't this just prove how addictive this app is? >> yeah, for sure. so, as you see, aishah, so many different aspects to the story. if we just look at the lobbying
11:22 am
part of it, it reminds me of that quote, i think it was chuck schumer who warned trump, the beginning of his presidency, don't take on the intelligence agencies. they'll come and get you. when it comes to legislation, don't take on the tech companies because they have real power to fight back. reminds me of when uber, for example, used this kind of tactic incredibly effectively to fight regulation, city by city, where you got in your uber and they started sending you messages about bill de blasio will ruin your life. effectiveness to the tactic but the big point what you say, it's so addictive and remember, sometimes people talk about tiktok as, they use the term it's a social media platform. it isn't, it's more of a media company. what you see is determined by the company. they are deciding what you see and in china the home of tiktok, you get a very different experience to what you see here. and it's amazing that it's taken
11:23 am
so long for lawmakers to wake up to the fact that you've got the chinese regime pushing incredibly destructive content into the homes of millions and millions of americans. >> aishah: the biggest piece of misinformation is this is an outright ban, it's not. it's basically asking the company in the next six months to divest from byte dance, ccp owned. chairman gallagher frustrated over the misinformation here. >> the core concern is the ownership structure. as long as tiktok is owned by byte dance and byte dance is beholden to the chinese communist party, the risk is the foremost adversary controls the news in american. most americans under the age of 30 are not just promoting weird dance videos, it's to get their news. >> aishah: why would this be so hard? they are giving you a chance to stay, not asking you to change the algorithms that are probably a problem. why would it be so hard to find
11:24 am
a new owner? >> well, exactly. or shut the whole service down. is that is the choice, and the choice is so obvious. if you want to keep going, don't allow a hostile foreign regime to be in control of what we see. and mike gallagher put it well there. i've heard time talk about data and national security, those are important factors. but what he said right there is the key point. and imagine, let's just take another country that lawmakers are focussed on, putin's russia, imagine if it was russia today, their state news service that was actually programming the phones of millions and millions of americans for their news. we wouldn't tolerate it for a second. we did kick russia out after ukraine so i think it's so sensible and so clear that this is the right thing to do. and as you say, the choice for the company seems very obvious. >> aishah: steve, we have to go.
11:25 am
but the white house is apparently supportive of this bill, wants t see it on the president's desk. but the campaign is using tiktok to try to get young voters. we have to leave it there. thank you, steve, nor joining us. >> aishah: scary moments for passengers on a flight here and folks on the ground as well after a boeing plane's tire falls off. so, what could have caused this? plus -- >> this is my new eva shockey gen3 -- like nothing you have ever seen before. >> sandra: outdoorswoman eva shockey, one of the field to table movement, folks are hunting and growing their own food for their families and save money in sky high inflation. we will talk to eva next. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital.

>> sandra: another mid air scare, a tire this time falling off a united boeing 777 plane after taking off from san francisco en route to japan. the plane made an emergency landing at lax. william is live in los angeles. when i first saw this, i thought that can't be real. >> it is. human error, mechanical, maybe metal fatigue, don't know yet. not a good 24 hours for united or boeing. after a 737 this morning tried to get off a runway and on to a taxiway, cut a corner too tight in houston and sunk into the grass, no injuries there, but passengers had to off-load outside. you can see the plane there kind of stuck in the grass. not as scary as what i'm going to show you video of, 300 pound wheel falling off the united flight in san francisco seconds after takeoff. the tire landed in an employee parking lot near the airport, it
11:31 am
happened around 11:30 yesterday morning. a closer look slow motion, one of the plane's six wheels on the left landing gear rear tile, falling out of the sky, bingo. it's going to fall off. and when you consider how dense an airport is, miraculously, nobody hurt. police showed up to find several damaged cars, a toyota got the worst of it, and bounced and hit another few empty cars, experts do not believe it's a larger safety issue for the public. what we don't know, did someone fail to attach that wheel hub properly, the landing gear that holds all the tires or metal fatigue, a crack in the axle, the if, aa is investigating. back to you. >> that is something. aishah. >> aishah: ten years since malaysia airlines flight 370 vanished and the families of those on board are still looking
11:32 am
for closure. potential new search could bring them some answers. greg palkot is live in london with more on this mystery. greg, after all these years, are we seeing any new developments? >> there could be new leads, there could be a new hunt, but still so many questions as you noted, ten years ago, a state of the art boeing 777 took off and then disappeared without leaving much of a trace. take a look. >> malaysia airlines took off, after 40 minutes, not heard from again. >> i think it is certainly the greatest mystery of modern aviation. heading for china veered off course, only satellite signals tracked it to the southern indian ocean. in beijing could only wonder, including a michigan native, waiting for texas boyfriend philip wood. >> how can this happen? how is it possible? >> triggered an air, sea and
11:33 am
underwater search, one of the biggest of all time. come up with little except for a few plane pieces on shores. some news about a new hunt. >> i'm inclined to reopen the investigation of 370. >> a texas marine firm says it has the latest gear and wants another try. >> as long as we look in the right places, then we will find it. >> good news for those still grieving, including sarah looking for peace at her panama resort. >> we all want resolution. leaving it hanging open, it's like the wound can never totally heal. >> the wound can never totally heal, that's what sarah says. sarah and others connected with the crash, any new lead could bring them closer to closure. for the investigators, not just answers about the crash, but how to make flying safer overall.
11:34 am
>> aishah: great points. thank you very much. sandra. >> sandra: sky high prices have many americans looking for ways to save some cash. "wall street journal" writes food is taking a bite out of your income. these consumers are getting creative. growing their own fruit and going back to the basics of hunting and gathering for food. eva shockey is no stranger hunting for meals, the second woman ever to appear solo on the cover of "field and stream" magazine, and joins us now. i believe queen elizabeth had the first honors, you got the second, at like 25 years old, right? >> it sure was. i still can't believe it sometimes but have to look at the catalogue again and remind myself how amazing that was. thank you, sandra. >> sandra: we have them said by side on the screen. eva, we called you up, i've known you over the years, and you talk about growing your own food, providing for your family and more and more women are showing they want to gain control of the situation and
11:35 am
especially now when you've got food prices up 25%, you've got overall prices up 18%. people are looking to get creative. how can they do that? >> absolutely. one of my favorite topics because this is the lifestyle that i've lived my whole life and now it's so trendy and i cannot be more proud i'm in the middle of it enjoying it. so, things that i've done personally, my favorite thing is living the field to table lifestyle. so i hunt my own meat, my family hunts their own meat. we know where our meat comes from when we eat it for dinner and it's a lot cheaper, with inflation prices and groceries it makes more sense. and gardening, it seems to be the hot topic on social media, gardening, and chickens and cows. but actually it's very functional to do those things and it saves so much money if you are doing them at your house. >> sandra: the "wall street journal" when they put out the piece, they got hundreds of readers responding to their
11:36 am
article that showed how food has come to consume the biggest portion of american's income since 1991. and they shared their strategies for the kitchen, and some of them said they are putting limits on how much they eat out, and you make it fun. one of your specialties is elk jalapeno poppers. you take what you, you know, you take literally from the field to the table and show people how to do it. i think we have -- this is actually -- all right, this is sound of you showing those off, eva. >> today i'm going to make my most requested recipe ever, it's the elk jalapeno poppers that y'all love. i'm going to show you how we make them on the traegger. >> sandra: now we are all hungry. maybe not hunting is for
11:37 am
everybody but gardening, growing your own food and taking the garden to table. >> exactly. and i think as a mom, i have two little kids, it's really important to have healthy options as well, and so while you're feeding your family and giving them healthy nutrients, you are saving money by growing your lettuce. this morning i was in the garden and eating lettuce, not only cheaper than the gross r i store, it also tastes better than the grocery store, so no way of losing there. if you are going to try to save money with obviously all of us are at the sap time at the grocery store, get your products from the garden, put them into a recipe if you are making a pasta sauce, get herbs from the garden, garlic from the garden, meat from an animal if you hunt or no someone who hunts. we love to share, we love to share wild game and seafood. so, this is what it's all about. if one thing has come from the last four years that is a positive, all of us have just slowed down and have reconnected with our roots a little bit and stopped the disconnect between where the food is coming from
11:38 am
and what we are actually eating at the dinner table and in the meantime, also saving money. so, there are so many ways to do it and our kids when they grow up will realize how important to grow our own food and self-sustainable in ways we have not been forced to did in a long, long time. >> sandra: final question to you. what are you seeing as far as the trend? i think i've known you for over a decade now, you were talking about this long ago. are you seeing more and more women moving into this? >> i absolutely am. i think women are the forefront of it. especially if you look on social media and the homesteading thing is so common now, i love that moms are sharing and moms are talking together and moms are proud of it if they are making their sour dough or if they are growing their own gardens. women are the one often influencing the family what to eat, not all the time but a lot
11:39 am
of time, and take advantage of the trend and save money. it's a good lifestyle to start off and once you start living it you don't really look back. you realize how great it is for your family. >> sandra: i think for all the viewers who scroll their social media feeds, you see so much of this out there and people are interested to cut costs and do things themselves and you offer a lot of ways to do that. really interesting stuff. eva, great to have you on. so good to see you. >> you too, sandra, thank you so much. >> aishah: we are going to go hunting, you and me. await and pentagon briefing as president biden introduces a new plan to increase aid deliveries into gaza. not everyone thinks it's safe, though. michael allen joins us next on the potential risks. sometimess of bipolar depression feel darkest before dawn. with caplyta, there's a chance to let in the lyte™. caplyta is proven to deliver significant relief across bipolar depression. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta treats both bipolar i and ii depression.

sounded mastiff and which the end of the night, it was a pier built offshore and liked to say no boots on the ground but if it's a pier, it's only 100 or 200 yards offshore. so, they are very close to the coast, so i mean, there are so many questions. congress hammers him next week on details. >> we'll bring you anything, any news that comes out of it. but are you concerned that like you said, no boots on the ground, but it's hard to not have boots on the ground when you are building a pier, or at least getting aid into gaza. are you worried it's drawing the u.s. troops further into war? >> i think so. i don't want to put them right in the middle of this conflict between israel and hamas. we are offshore, we are at a reasonable distance so we can protect u.s. interests. i think that's what's appropriate. i think it would be much better if they just encouraged the
11:46 am
israelis to open more land corridors to get additional aid. i don't doubt that the palestinians need a lot more aid and they are suffering, starvation, etc., i'm not sure why a port is superior to another land corridor. >> aishah: start with the state of the union, president started off with ukraine, the one thing he did not talk about, iran and here is general jack keane on the frustration the president did not really dig into this. >> the reason why we have the civilians all tied up in the middle of a war is because hamas is doing that, and secondly, the egyptians will not let u.n. refugee camps be set up outside of rafah on egyptian territory. that is outrageous. and where was iran last night in the president's speech? which is the principal center of gravity driving all the unrest and instability in the middle

east. >> aishah: what was your take away watching this. >> he is exactly right. iran is the head of the snake, working against the u.s. and israeli interests everywhere and he barely addressed it and barely addressed china as well. so i don't think he did a good job front and center for the american people the true sources of national security issues. >> aishah: ok, we are going to leave it there. thank you for joining us, have a great weekend. sandra. >> sandra: thank you. protestors are calling for a gaza ceasefire giving the d.c. mayor a scare today, watch. >> i am so happy that he's the leader in our arts community, oh, here we go. thank you. oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> sandra: that interruption happened this morning at an event announcing an art exhibit. she stayed at the podium a few moments before exiting the stage, and then returned about five minutes later. she did not address the incident once she came back. seeing more and more of that

iron mike will be 58 by the time the fight takes place in july. he's training and looking good. if the sight of tyson in full flow doesn't scare jake paul, mr. paul may be less smart than some of his critics claim he is. while he began a boxing career as a joke, he's improved and clearly worked on his skills and conditioning. >> he's committed himself to it. he's had professional training and gotten much better. so how does he compare to the people that mike tyson fought in the past? he doesn't compare. but mike tyson has not fought anybody at 58 years of age. >> so can jake paul win or will mike tyson's famous phrase prove to be true again. >> everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. i'm sure there's a plan and i don't want to be that guy

punched by mike tyson. jake paul decided otherwise. we'll see what happens. >> having tangled with tyson myself, albeit in a tv studio, i can personally attest to how scary he can be, especially when he's, as you see there, nibbling your ear. me and hollifield together. the fight will take place in texas in the comfort of the dallas cowboyed air condition at&t stadium. nobody will mistake this for the rumble in the jingle. make we can call it's the malice in dallas. >> sandra: what to you think, aishah? >> i think jonathan is going to the match and will give us live updates. it's great. age is nothing but a number, sandra. >> sandra: fun. can't wait. it's not something that you usually would see on a golf course, by the way. it's a stampede of kangaroos.
