>> sandra: any moment now as we tap a brand-new hour, 2:00 on the east coast, we are about to hear from the white house for the first time since kemal harris tapped liberal governor as her running mate and, now more than two weeks and she replaced joe biden atop the ticket. but she has still not given a single interview, but now just 90 days out from election day. >> 16 days she has been the

presumptive nominee of the democrat party, zero time she has set for a media interview, that's a disgrace. if she is too afraid of the liberal media, how she going to deal with vladimir putin and xi jinping and a bunch of world leaders all over the globe? >> sandra: welcome back, everybody, i am sandra smith in new york, allowed to get to, john. >> john: as it seems every day, i am john roberts in washington, this is "america reports," the busiest place on that planet, here at a rally where he answered questions questions from the press traveling with him, quick to attack the liberal record in fact, the very first thing he did as governor, he created a diversity council. >> sandra: it does not stop there, advance gender switching care for children making minnesota a transgender refuge state, and opening up benefits to illegal migrants as a sanctuary state and has followed california on climate issues, here he is as in his own words. >> don't shy away from our

progressive values, one person socialism is another person's neighborliness. >> sandra: yes. it's beyond so how will those policies play into the crisis happening right now? the mideast on the brink is the world watches and waits for action between israel and iran, the market is climbing back from yesterday's crater or tropical storm debby breaking havoc on the southern where dangerous floods are expected to devastate the region. there is a lot to get to, sandra. >> sandra: so much we had to sidebar a little bit. the list we will be talking about. it's true, by the end of day, kamala harris atop the ticket as someone noted in the 12:00 hour, that's where the focus will be while we are talking about walz, this is the day that he has named, it will be about kamala harris and her record for sure. spill we all know that 2:30 is just a suggestion, more often than not, we will see if it does happen this hour, but we will be watching it all for you as we

endeavor to bring you everything that you need to know. >> sandra: is safe to say it won't happen before 2:30, that is not happen. not really ever early, we will watch for that, meanwhile, first at this, shocking new data from homeland security nearly 400 people on the terror watch list have now entered this country since president biden took office and at least 99 of them may still be living here. >> john: the suspects coming from all over the world including countries known to be hot spots for violent extremists. just last month fbi director christopher way warned americans about this exact threat. >> i am increasingly concerned that foreign terrorists could seek to exploit vulnerabilities at our southwest border or at other ports of entry where access to our immigration system to facilitate an attack here in the united states.

it does not take very many foreign terrorists to be a real problem. >> sandra: so we have retired border patrol chief on the growing safety concerns at our southern border. >> john: we began with william la jeunesse who has live with more on this damning report from dhs, william. >> well, john, two things we do not know and neither do members of the house judiciary committee is where are these potential terrorist now and why where they released in the first place. according to the report at least 375 individuals on the terror watch list entered the u.s. illegally since president biden took office, 34 remain in jail, but nearly 100 were released contrary to what dhs secretary mayorkas told congress earlier.

speak of is every person on the terror watch list, detained right now? >> if they do pose a threat, they should be detained. >> why did you release people that are on the terror watch list? >> congressman, we do not release individuals. >> border agents apprehended illegal immigrants from 36 different countries including afghanistan, syria, and yemen. >> even when they screamed in them or they are on the terrorist watch list they are being released into our country and one terrorist might commit a terrible crime. >> of the problems identified is inadequate vetting by cbp, and two, immigration judges were not given a complete file by cbp for the terrorist screening center to allow them to make an informed judgment. here is candidates kamala harris denigrating the idea that terrorists would come and laughing at president trump's concern about their entry. here's what she said, it is the height of irresponsibility for the commander-in-chief to suggest that we have to build a wall across our southern border because there are terrorists who are trying to invade our country, it cannot be further

from the truth. john, talking to congresswoman saying as for the 99 will come out and a close session as of this morning we have not heard from dhs. back to you. it's been on the harris statement is one thing, but for him to stay we don't release people into the country, is he using a different definition of the word? >> john, it's dhs. i mean, that's the hierarchical agency, so cdp, border patrol, i.c.e., those people are under his authority if you well. >> john: it's a game of semantics, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: let's bring in retired border chief at the u.s. actor, great to have you on the new york studio -- >> great to be here. >> i feel like when you sit down i say what don't we know? we are reporting the share numbers and the volume of people coming over the border, now we dig into the details of who these people are that are coming into the country, we are losing track of it. what can you tell us today about

what we have been able to track? >> what i can tell you and i have said it before, they are about securing the narrative, not securing the border. everyone that comes across as border, the men and women on the border patrol are doing their best job to identify any threat, whether it's a smuggler or a potential terrorist, but it's only as good as the information they have in those databases. we hear they are vetted, it takes two to three weeks to effect in employee for a promotion, we are bending someone in 72 hours? no, it's just record checks, they should be turned over to i.c.e. and detained until we have no uncertainty of who they are there sponsors are or their intensity and they should be removed if they have some nexus or criminally prosecuted. the fact that we have this type of people coming into this country right now and they are walking among us should scare the heck out of all of us. >> sandra: i know when you sat down he started talking about kamala harris atop the democratic ticket for the presidency, and her new pick, her new running mate pick, so

the record will be tested, here as though new york headline today, sanctuary state governor tim walz gave illegal governments the taxpayer health care, drivers licenses, so you take that and you wonder what a policy on a kamala kamala harris/walz ticket would look like, and these are some things they want to see from the next administration and you wonder -- we will look at us, just listen. >> whatever the next administration that comes into power really needs to have a change of policy that is at the root of our immigration. >> people want to see these policies with that 1,000, 2,000 miles away. and they need to be listening to us because we are on the front lines. >> sandra: the question is are they listening and who is better to handle the crisis? >> based on the track record, i don't think that they will be able to handle it the way that we need, we need to stop on

immigration and focus on border security, we have that in place under the last administration where they did not have to do anything. let's focus on securing the border and then we can clean up some of this immigration mess that has been caused by decades of poor policy and poor leadership because it needs to be fixed, but it starts with security, because i keeps america safe. you secure the border and then you can secure america. >> john: in this moment people are digging through their record and things they have set over the years, this is from kamala harris a few years ago slamming donald trump when speaking about the border was february 2019 where she said that this is a crisis of the president come president at the time donald trump's own making to build a vanity project called a wall. it's irresponsible, the height of irresponsibility from the commander in chief to suggest we have to build a wall across the southern border because they are terrorists trying to invade that country, it could not be further from the troupe, fast-forward to today and what we are seeing and the sheer number of terrorist we are able to report are coming

across and are here in the united states. this is the stance that the vp pick j.d. vance is talking during his philadelphia visit, listen. >> no one has kept saying that a ball is keeping out 82% of the aliens come over what that means is less fentanyl, less drugs coming into our community's. >> sandra: is the wall still the way to go? >> they absolutely work where they do make sense. we need it where we have vulnerabilities combined with the technology and the personal and most importantly the policy is out of d.c. with some teeth to send a message to the source countries and people exploiting our system that you will have a consequence. it was not a vanity project, it was decades of blood, sweat, and tears several requirements from border patrols that donald trump follow through with. a lot of presidents before him attempted and were making progress, but he was making the best progress. at the time of my career when he

handed it was 25 years in the most secure border we had ever had. when you hear a politico, vice president harris and others, that's others ridiculous, because it's about securing the border and keeping the american communities safe. we need the wall to be completed, we are the agents that needed all along with the resources they require. >> john: i always hear that passion when you join us. thank you for being here in new york. >> john: hit was good to see chris, thank you, sir. an expected attack, five years service majors entered, and by an iranian proxy group an additional carrier strike group had already been deployed to the region prior to that strike. our jennifer griffin is live from the pentagon, the proxies are back at it again, jen. >> that's right, john, the middle east is on edge tonight and u.s. and israeli forces on high alert awaiting an iranian attack targeting israel, the proxy fighters launched two missiles from the truck at al

assad airbase monday, seriously injuring five u.s. service ministers and pipe contractors, receiving care at al assad and two have been evacuated for further care. all seven injured aren't in stable condition, iraqi security sees the truck and found eight more muscles prepared for launch. this was the second attack on al assad in three weeks. these attacks had largely been paused since february from october 8th to february, carrying out 170 attacks on u.s. bases. >> does iran have full control over iraq and syria? >> i assume they have a great deal of control, because we know they were able to stop the attacks in december during negotiations for hostages, there was a period where they were told to stop and they did. >> general eric carrillo was an israel meeting with defense

minister yu of galante and the idf chief of general staff to coordinate next steps, lloyd austin spoke with him on monday. the secretary ordered additional capable cruisers and destroyers to the eastern mediterranean and the red sea. among them a wasp class ready group with the 14th expedition are on board, that teddy roosevelt aircraft carrier strike group left and steam into the gulf of oman where they ordered a squadron of f20 stealth fighter jets to the middle east where the u.s. intelligence has seen evidence iran is moving missiles and launchers into position, but it's not clear when or how they plan to strike. many expect has below involved this time unlike april when they fired 300 missiles and drones at

israel, they have 150 missiles in lebanon, many capable of reaching tel aviv, john. >> we will watch and wait and see what happens, jennifer, thank you. now this. >> there are riots that tim walz as governor sat back and let it happen. he sat back and let the city of minneapolis burn, so this is a ticket that really represents the spirit of those 2020 blm riots. >> ron desantis panning the newly announced running mate tim walz, naming them the most progressive left ticket in american history, we will get the take on the ticket coming up. >> john: and recession pairs up after stocks took a nosedive yesterday gaining back some today, but our assistant manager will tell us if that is helping americans recession peers dissipate or just adding to them coming up next.

i love this, because that's what really matters is how people are feeling about the economy. what are they saying? >> always good to talk to real people, sandra and what they are saying is the economy for them in a word stocks. pardon my french, but that is actually a direct quote from one of the folks we spoke with. this is a democratic stronghold, by the way, in philadelphia county voting 85% joe biden four years ago, 15% trump, despite that, the people we talk to now both democratic and republican say this economy is not working for them. check out the quote, this is proof of what i said. >> i personally feel like the economy is sucking right now, less pay, more expenses, bills going up, rent is going up, so it's pretty bad. >> i work three jobs just to break even every month and i have a master's degree from columbia. the economy is pretty rough. >> everyone is concerned about

the economic situation, i certainly am. i think the economy in large part has done well. >> our current government has absolutely ruined everything, can't afford a bite. i make six figures a leader, still can afford life or go out like we use to. >> what do you see for the future? >> depending on how the election goes, i mean i am hoping for retirement. >> sandra, i did not confirm with her which event would cause her to move to ireland and i would point this out and watch some of the people would talk to you who have spoken most about their displeasure hurt the economy say i'm still going to vote for vice president harris, so just can't bring themselves in this democratic stronghold to vote for the alternative. ominous and counterintuitive, perhaps. >> sandra: you found the most fascinating people, i took notes, the first woman wearing her work badge, probably going to and from work, one woman,

three jobs, masters from columbia, can't make ends meet with three jobs and the one man who is making six figures who says can't afford life, jeff, thank you. all right, john. >> john: life is a difficult thing to afford, we can all agree on that. let's bring in the deputy director brock cromartie and budget officer doug holtz-eakin for more on this. now since you are a newcomer to the program, and thank you for joining us, let's start with you. the dow is down 3, the nasdaq down 3.5, back up about halfway down from the lows of yesterday, consumer spending was slowing, and income falling drive and the downturn as well, a lot of people are saying that the chickens that people had been experiencing due to high inflation and out-of-control prices are finally coming home to roost, what do you say? >> i disagree, it's important to take a step back and look at where we are on the economy has a hole, goldman sachs is

projecting we will have 3% growth until the third quarter of this year. look, i think that the baseline projection of our session is about 25% over a year or two year. man, so that's not outside of normal expectations, the point as especially with the fed poised to cut in september by 50 or 75 basis points that will drive down costs for businesses who want to buy borrow, and cost of mortgages or succumb a small business loans and add some juice to the economy based on manufacturing data and its business investment data and pretty strong fact -- >> john: we were talking during the other piece, they agreed that it is not on the rise, that is my decision. but did they say that it waited too long to raise the prices going up? >> i did not think so. i would not count on 50-75 basis points in september, that's counting the chickens before the feds cut the rate.

we have an inflation port at the end of the month, food energy and shelter, have the budgets of people in the piece is that that 4%, we have an august report on the cpi, the fed could arrive in september with inflation sticking weird stock for about 3% and be in the uncomfortable position of reversing horse one more time where everyone was sure, we have seen this movie before, while the economy is weakening inflation maybe not coming down as fast as a whole. >> john: we will see with where that goes in the days and weeks ahead, what you think about the facts on the election? everything was going kamala harris is way, than the market sell-off, the rest of the campaign of the downturn is significant, and chose a soft landing for the economy tied to lower inflation but a delicate balance again, the sudden spike in unemployment is a central argument for the economic

success adding to voters long-running concerns about the nation's trajectory. and who to vote or stress on the economy? "wall street journal" poll says 52% trust donald trump, 40% say they trust kamala harris, so she had a lot of momentum coming out of the announcement and maybe we will get some out of the announcement today, but when it comes to the bread and butter, she is lagging. >> many ways the campaign is just beginning and people are starting to tune in and as they tune and they will realize they have it path of two choices in november, one is a trump pathway of a tax cut mostly for the wealthy that averages $70,000 annual tax cut for minor and an agenda that economists across the political spectrum according to "the wall street journal" is highly inflationary, i don't think people will like the idea at a point where the reits will come down, we are over inflation and potentially reigniting going with the trump agenda that calls for a 10% across-the-board

tariff, functioning neck a national sales tax. i think this is a case they will make. >> john: remind me, doug, what inflation was when donald trump left office. >> 1% year-over-year. >> john: a lot of people will look at that and say, that was pretty good. >> vice president harris has a really tough battle. candidate biden has lost the debate on the economy. people make up their mind six months out and his record was unpopular. her choices are run on that record or the policy is producing it or what she presented as a candidate in 2019 which was more progressively bigger taxes and bigger spending, bigger all of the things unpopular or reinvent herself towards the center where middle america lives and where the boats are. and that's an enormously difficult challenge and we will see if she is up to it. >> john: gentlemen camera

session on the rise to the rejections. sandra, what do you see? >> sandra: i think the best we can do is reported as we see it, and have a stock market down 600 points and interesting to see if this comes up in the briefing room, watching this, at the highs of the session right now, so to finish just over 1,000 points yesterday and got kind of scary when you see that many zeros, but it seems to be coming back. >> john: gainey back 60% of what we lost yesterday, but these things, it goes up and down and goes up again and down again. >> sandra: timing is everything and when you need to get out is crucial to a lot of folks, so larry kudlow pointing out that he thinks we could be on the front end of a recession and a soft economy, so we can just note to oecd. and there are some concerning the numbers when you have heard from jeff flock and the folks he was talking to, they are not feeling great out there. it's tough to make ends meet. >> john: here's what i learned the hard way, don't get out at

the bottom. >> sandra: buy low, sell high. tropical storm debby making its way up the east coast branding historic rainfall potentially catastrophic flooding, looking at carolina beach north carolina where all of this is heading next and who is most at risk we will have that for you plus t this. >> john: kamala harris tapping tim walz as her running mate in his far left policy is too many republicans on edge including rnc chairman woom michael watley who calls the tweak it "dangerously liberal." he is coming up next.

>> sandra: kamala harris tapping tim walz as her running mate sparking reaction from both sides of the aisle, one of the republicans calling her one of the most radical picks ever joining us now. in your own words, what is your reaction to her pick? >> i'm not surprised she has doubled down i made this the most liberal ticket we have ever seen that she has picked a dyed in the wall for radical progressive to join on the ticket which shows where her priorities are and where the democratic party is, inflationary spending, he is going to be a very faithful partner to kamala harris a very dangerous for this country. >> john: and a state may said they are to promote -- to open borders, the most radical ticket in the country, supporting illegal immigration putting criminals back on the street and in 2020 let writers burn the

twin cities while kamala harris is raising their bail, why sugarcoat it, just tell us what you really think? >> we are at an inflection point in this election cycle where we are not going to set the direction of america from the next four years, this is our country for decades to come and it shows you that we have two widely divergent paths, a ticket right now that is focused on illegal immigration on inflationary spending and crippling our standing in the world, whereas donald trump wants to restore southern border restore economy and he wants to restore our standing in the world. there is never been a larger gulf between the candidates and we think the american people are going to want to choose to put america first. >> sandra: okay, so the reaction is much different from some on the particularly for a

left of the democrat party, aoc wing, vice president harris has made an excellent decision as her running mate, alana omar says congratulations to our next vice president bringing minnesota nice to the ticket. so is there any concern that republicans will champion the message that they are the right ones for the job? you have democrats coming together on the left and arguably, kamala harris who is top of the ticket leading in the polls now. what would you say to that? how are republicans going to brand her in this ticket? >> i think the fact that aoc and oman omar are very happy tells you everything you need to know about the pick. the fact she went to the radical base of the democratic party to choose a vice presidential candidate rather than someone who can bring this country together.

donald trump right now is the only candidate who is trying to unify america and actually talk to them represent every single american voter, they are not even making a pretense out of it. i think the tim walz, you can tell him he is a west coast coast keio because he is trying to implement all of the san francisco radical policies that kamala harris has championed in minnesota and it's not going to work. it's not going to work across the country. >> john: there's a lot of videotape about kamala harris espousing her far left positions including this piece to videotape from a forum in 2017, listen here. >> we have to stay woke, like everyone needs to be awoke. and you can talk about if you are the locust or the woke or, and know that we all have to know that her voice matters and so it's not just whistling in the wind. >> john: there is a lot of

other video out there as well her talk him the need to ban fracking and get rid of private health insurance, but the maid he allows her to whitewash out without public question, how do you and no trump campaign combat that? >> we need to have direct conversations and make sure that people are seeing those videos, that they are pushing it out. we need to make sure that we are able to clearly contrast where donald trump and j.d. vance are coming from as opposed to this liberal ticket. the fact that we want to rein in inflationary spending, we want to unleash the american energy to help bring down inflation, the fact that we want a strong southern border, the fact that we want america to be a leader in the world, these are the positions that american voters want whole across the heartland and country i'm right now a ticket that is absolutely wanting to run this country from california, new york, and now

minnesota, where they want to take a radically different direction than the american people want to. >> john: we appreciate you joining us, sir. it's been a big day, obviously. thank you for time. >> john: thanks, mike. to the white house said to hold a press briefing sometime this afternoon as tensions rise between israel and iran. when it is then provided no administration doing to prevent a wider war in the middle east? >> sandra: all of this after seven americans were wounded after the iranian-backed proxy fighters attacked in new.te congressman will join us next.d on his life, on the hallow app. this content is incredible. why don't you join us in the saint john paul the second challenge? it'll change your life.

the most radical of the bunch. he has made a good very clear he is not into his two state decision. only mad and i being his wife off the birth. in this what is so frustrating and backwards about the strategy. they are leaking to the world that it's bibi netanyahu's fault that the hostage deal has not come together because he is taking out hamas and hezbollah leadership and it's a complete mr. reed of how these terrorists think. the only thing they care about, john, is power and surviving to attack again and if they are seeing everybody taken out around them, like any young, like the number two, like mohammed deif, the leader of hamas' military wing, they have all been taken out by israel, they are more likely to go to a deal, because that's the only way they will survive with the mossad and the idf unleashed,

but yet, this administration is doing everything they can to constrain israel which means it will make a deal less likely and oh, by the way, they have said nothing, nothing, zero about iran and going back to maximum pressure at the core problem, that's why this is getting worse with every bad decision they make. >> john: another possible argument to the maximum pressure is for the second time in recent days iranian proxies fired missiles at the al assad airbase wounding down some salmon people, iranian proxies have stopped it for a while on orders from tehran, says the u.s. really need to take the gloves off and hit back, and how should he do it? >> you have to impose costs on iran itself, that's what president trump did one and took took solum on the outcome you have to punch a bully in the mouth and sometimes escalate to de-escalate but lincoln, harris, joe biden and crew on the schoolyard that just keeps asking, can i give you more

>> for his determined leadership in the facilitation of negotiations on a final stage. i was most impressed by the

reference to final stage, can you elaborate a little bit? >> i will not go beyond what the president stated as we have been very clear it is important that the cease-fire deal, the hostage deal gets done it has been a priority for this president for some time now. his team, you heard from national security advisor jake sullivan last week, last thursday we spoke about this as it has been a priority for the president directly, he wants to get this done. he wants the war to end. he wants hostages to come home and to go home to their loved ones and families and so we believe that they swore, the end of this war would significantly lower tensions in the region and so, we have been certainly laser focused on getting that done. i don't have anything beyond the read out you receive from us moments ago. to be going quickly, is there any reaction to the announcement a short time ago chosen as their new leader? >> i don't have anything to say

at this point. >> okay. it's a president biden have a favorites contender? as it is for us that to the vice president. >> here is what i want to say and i want to point into the president's statement that he put out not too long after the vice president made her announcement going to be really mindful within and follow the law here and can't comment on 2024, but just to say that he -- what he did mention as he has known governor walz for two decades and worked with them on when they both served and then on the biden administration administrators dirt, president biden respects governor walz shows this sarong when decatur leader who with those and forget where it came from growing up on a midwestern farm, president biden respects governor walz's life of service serving in the army national guard for 24 years and

becoming the highest-ranking enlisted soldier to serve in congress. serving his community as a teacher is a high school football coach and serving as governor where governor lowered the cost of insulin to 35 bucks and a spot to protect women's fundamental rights in and junkies and cut taxes for middle families, the president and his group will they have been able to work together to get those priorities done for obviously for the american people more broadly, if you are asking me if the vice president sought the president's advice, she did, and we have said this before and i've said this many times, they are a strong team together, she is a critical partner to this president and has been for the past three and a half years where they have discussions regularly of domestic and international importance and this situation is no different. and so, he did offer up his advice and i will leave it th there. >> turning to the economy and likely of joe's jobs report in

comic sans, she does not think the country is in a recession right now, but we are getting uncomfortably close to that situation. does president and his team agree with that. >> here's what i will say in a couple of little things at the top. while we have seen some volatility, we admit that and have seen that. our broader economy reminds resilient. and we see that because of the data obviously that has been coming out over the past not just couple of months, but the past couple of years and what we have seen recently as consumers are resilient and business investment a strong, unemployment while up from the 50 years low is up at 4.3% and that's important to me think about inflation down 2.5 percent in the stock market is more than 35 percent under this administration. it's up more come up numbly than 35 percent at this administration if you're going to focus on we can do the the

bad cost, and building what is affordable for folks, which is very difficult and what the other side, the republicans want to do giving tax breaks to billionaires and corporations as we continue to see them. >> sandra: an interesting question on the economy put into the white house as we do know that we are hearing from everyday people that they are struggling out there. really quickly we will bring in republican louisiana governor jeff landry joining us now. most of the questions he received in that room where about her pick of walz for the harris/walz ticket. you tweeted that it's by far the most radical that the ticket is by far the most radical left in american history. your reaction as a republican governor to her pick >> -- is an integral team

player of the current president who we know that those are the polities are absolutely filled american people, those are the policies that are the result of empty grocery shelves, utility bills, high gas prices, out-of-control inflation. and an extremely poor -- forest border that's killing 100,000 americans a year you the fentanyl crisis. and jumpy i just admitted she owns it, she owns her, her pick on that that everyone in the democrat party owns it. i mean, this is what the choice that the american people have. to they want to continue down this road of high inflationary costs, slow and anemic economic growth kathy america basically placed last on the world stage, or do they want a president in there that they know can reignite the american dream? it's that easy. >> martha: all pack-mac. >> sandra: all the questions but back to reporting -- he had all these folks and overseeing it's

stuff out there, we -- wages are going down, because her up and working three jobs, and merli -- -- he finished the report by saying he asked them who they're going to work for an instant harris. so they're not willing to change their party because they think even if they think someone else like a dog from think it is better for the economy. so how do republicans champion this message and went over some of those reporters if they have a solution -- if they have the solutions? >> i just think we have to continue to show the american people the facts out there. look at the democrat party, there's a great job of pulling some of the people all the time, all the people some of the timing of lincoln centre you can't fool all the people all the time and i think it's our job to go out there and do show the american people the evidence. we have seen in migration around this country. there is an absolute fact of people that are living blue states into red states who are looking to southern states right now that are basically an new industrial self that is occurring here

in and around louisiana, in the states that surrounded and that is the proof. the pool is that people are walking with their wallets and their children and they are going away from those states like pennsylvania. i don't know how long it's going to take but i think that over the next 90 days it's the president and his campaigns job to show that marking people the facts. they all know what life was like under donald trump and you know what life is like today. and i just have to remind them. >> sandra: so governor, it appears -- republicans accelerating this pics thinking that this is going to make it easier for donald trump and j.d. vance to win the white house. do you see it that way? >> i do. i've always said that it does not matter who is on the ticket. it is our job to remind the american people of the failure over the last four years covid-19 again, everyone of those people, nobody stood up and said oh

these are bad policies, over the american people are suffering, owe inflationary costs reduced -- they dislike, like, like to the american people and, you know, as we see in louisiana, soon earlier, the cows will come home. >> sandra: always good to have you on the program, governor. thank you. are so many due in louisiana you have a way with words. >> thank you. >> sandra: governor, thank you. that it for us, we're up against the top of the our air. >> bret: >> john: -- i'm with him. >> sandra: let the good times roll. >> john: yeah. >> sandra: always good to have governor landry on. venues we'll continue. thank you for joining us, and sandra smith. >> john: m. john roberts. will see you again tomorrow when you can bet there will be a lot more news to report you so make sure you keep it right here on. >> everyone: america reports." marc staal is off this week so right now we go for -- to "the story" with bret baier with bret baier whose informatica. >> bret: good afternoon, i'm
