engineered things they have found, debris they have found that they think come from spaceships. with the mystery is, why haven't they landed on the white house grounds and said "here we are, and we've got to stop the wars and the squabbling. these bigger things than that out there." why they haven't revealed themselves, i don't know. >> that's the real question, william. >> that will be part two. >> give us the information. thank you so much. >> thank you. great to talk to you. >> pleasure to be with you. the show is on streaming on fox nation. >> yes, it is. "aliens among us with william shatner," only available on fox nation. no knockoffs. we have eight seconds to say something profound. >> i can't wait until i'm elderly. you can say whatever the hell you want to say. >> bill: that might be a few years, l j.

up, up, and away, the key inflation number now. only moments ago, consumer prices at 2.9 percent last month. slightly lower than economists expected and still there's work to do out there, and you can feel it in your paycheck. more on this shortly, but first there could be added big election issue, too. open borders under biden and harris, a series of violent crimes committed by migrants, putting new scrutiny on the vice president's immigration platform. for some of them it is a double offense. that could be before a judge. good morning, everybody. >> dana: good to be with you. i am dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." let's get to this. the law enforcement is struggling to keep up with mike at crime. we have seen this in the reports. just this week, i.c.e. rearrested a migrant out on bond despite facing charges of raping a child. >> bill: harris' past criticisms of i.c.e., there's

been a lot of that. then suggesting the agency should be put out to pasture. >> we have got to critically re-examine i.c.e. and its role in the way it's being administered in the work it is doing. and we probably need to think about starting from scratch. >> are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at i.c.e. is being used to enforce the laws? >> i do not see a parallel between what is constitutionally mandated as it relates to enforcing the law -- >> are you aware there is a presumption? >> i see nothing that puts i.c.e. in the same court to category as the kkk. >> dana: "the new york times" reporting the white house is accelerating the process of turning green card holders and the citizens. the push could result in millions of new voters heading to the polls in november. >> bill: reaction on that. mark meredith reports at the white house. bill melugin reports in los angeles with more on all the

stories around immigration. bill, let's begin there this morning. hello. >> bill, good morning to you. i.c.e. sources tell me they were furious when local authorities in massachusetts, a sanctuary state, ignored their detainer requests and released an alleged haitian child on bond back in june. i.c.e. has been looking for him. they arrested haitian national cory alvarez yesterday morning in brockton. that's about 30 minutes south of boston. he's not federal custody. as fox has reported, alvarez was charged with aggravated child rape earlier this year after prosecutors say he raped a girl outside of the migrant hotel in rockland massachusetts back in march. i.c.e. confirmed alvarez came to the u.s. last year. he flew to new york city as part of the biden administration controversial mass perl program that has allowed more than half a million migrants to fly directly into the u.s.

dhs has now put that program on pause after an internal audit found a significant amount of fraud. in his case, he was supposed to be in newark, new jersey, where he said his parole sponsor was, but instead he somehow ended up at a hotel for migrant families outside of boston where he had access to a 15-year-old girl. the plymouth county d.a. office which is prosecuting alvarez for the alleged rape is calling out dhs saying, as part of the alvarez case, our office has repeatedly asked questions of state and federal officials about specifics of this process. we have received little to no answers. there is clearly a reason that the u.s. department of homeland security has pause the issuance of travel authorizations for new chnv beneficiaries while it undertakes a massive review of the process. in a statement about alvarez's arrest, i.c.e. boston says, alvarez has been charged with victimizing a minor in a massachusetts migrant shelter.

he will have his day in court in i.c.e. boston will continue to cooperate, but we cannot allow any significant threat to the children in our communities to potentially. i.c.e. boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from new england. alvarez's attorney says he's in innocent of the charges against him. meanwhile, i.c.e. boston says they are not giving alvarez back to the locals unless they agree to a court order that would mandate they return him back to federal custody after every court appearance. i.c.e. doesn't want to take any chances here after the locals already released this guy once. >> bill: it's keeps on going. bill melugin, thank you, leading our coverage in l.a. today. >> dana: then there's the speed at which immigrants are becoming citizens. it could have major impact on the election. mark meredith is live from the white house with more. are these people knew the crossing to united states or is?

>> there's two different sides to this. yes, a backlog is also being addressed by the administration, but we are also hearing from republican leaders that believe not enough is being done to protect the ballot box. without the rnc sending a letter to eight secretaries of state basically trying to make sure that only u.s. citizens are being verified to be able to vote. on tuesday the chairman of the republican national committee sent this letter to the secretaries of state and places like wisconsin, michigan, minnesota. he says noncitizen voting is a growing concern. the chairman writing secure elections start with secure voter rolls. states have significant power to ensure those who are registered to vote are qualified to vote, which includes a basic requirement of u.s. citizenship. republicans argue the record level of illegal immigrants crossing into the u.s. over the last few years poses concerns about who is truly being allowed to cast ballots. at the same time, separately, the new york time report the federal government's processing

citizenship requests at the fastest clip in a decade moving rapidly through a backlog that built up during the trump administration and the coronavirus pandemic. republicans are also trying to label vice presidential nominee governor tim walz as being too soft on the issue after he signed laws allowing illegal immigrants to apply for driver's licenses. vice president harris is also trying to neutralize the immigration issue. she was just at listless week, and she told voters she will sign competence of border security legislation that congress was talking about but r passed. >> we know our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it. comprehensive reform that includes -- [cheers and applause] strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship. >> but it is quite controversial, that pathway to citizenship. there was a gallup poll taken in june that on the majority of americans, 55%, believe immigration levels are already too high.

dana? >> dana: mark meredith from the white house, thank you. to do and let's get some perspective now. jason, thank you for coming on today. nice to see you here. this is what the story reports in fiscal year 2021. it took about 11 and a half months for the application to go through. now in fiscal year 2024 it is about five months' time. what do you think about this? remember, these are green cardholders that have been here for some time. >> why you have such suspicion is there is a complete lack of trust by the american people with the biden-harris administration. we have seen the largest human migration into the united states in our nation's entire history just since biden-harris have taken office. over 8 million light illegal crossings on a southern border. as a result a lot of individuals are wondering if they doing the proper vetting and security backgrounds like my family did when my uncle and my mother from cuba had to do proper venting

and back on before they were able to take that amazing moment to become a citizen. we are good and teach it to mike decent and generous people, the highest levels of legal immigration in the world. do you have a criminal background? are you somebody that should be in our country, or are you bringing some of your criminal elements from your home country with you with a criminal record? is that actually happening? look at what is happening on our southern border, in which kamala harris was the point person. most people stuff to the border are given a piece of paper that will say "we will you in court 4-5 years from now." it's the definition of a catch and release program. we see what's happening in virginia, time and time again, individuals who have been apprehended at the border, they been let go, and they been picked up on multiple cases of violent crime, sometimes sexual assault against minors. those types of actions are making every state a border state, and the american people

are generous and decent but they don't want to feel like they're being taken advantage of. that's what they feel like right now at the southern border, and the idea that kamala harris is someone is going to fix our border problems is like saying let's put colonel sanders in charge of p.e.t.a. it's not going to happen. kamala harris has failed in her job. they came in together and they can leave together as far as i'm concerned. >> dana: the one thing i want to point out or maybe get your take on, they are people like your family who came across and did it properly. my husband is similar. i think we all know people who did that, and they did it properly, it took a long time, it was very arduous, it could have cost extra money, and it seemed like the process was so laborious. but we have also had information that those are the people that are actually the most angry about the open southern border. so if they are becoming citizens, if they are going to get to vote, and they have been waiting, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are on this fast track to vote for

kamala harris. they could actually be very disappointed in what biden and harris have done. >> you are exactly right. people have played by the rules and done at the right way, they've gone through the extensive background check and the health checks, there is a certain level of frustration the people cutting in line and doing it the wrong way. that is what you are seeing county after county our southern border. areas that used to be purple or blue are now turning red. why? they are seeing the spirit of lawlessness happening our southern border. it's driving down wages, you're seeing the migrant kind of individuals. i can tell you is a former prosecutor, there is no angry like the anger of somebody who has been the victim of a crime, and then they realize this person either was back on the streets when they shouldn't have been or, in these cases, individuals that should have never been in the position to harm an innocent loved one or an individual. that type of frustration, that type of anger, is palpable in these communities.

>> bill: one more thing here and then i will get to the cost of new york, of what we are paying for the migrants. it is in the billions of dollars. pull up this picture of cory alvarez. bill melugin reported, a haitian immigrant, was flown into the u.s. and committed these crimes. what is kamala harris going to say to the victims of these crimes? it not just in massachusetts. i'm sure you've got your own cases in the state of virginia. >> we do. bedford county, campbell county, fairfax county. it's utterly tragic. sometimes, in the cases of bedford and campbell, yes sheriffs are serious about actually working with i.c.e. but in other areas you have social justice sheriffs refusing even notify i.c.e. of an individual that needs to be picked up on a charge. so you have seen this time and time again where you have local government officials or in some cases locally elected, whether

it's your attorney or sheriff, that refuses even to work with i.c.e. we know kamala harris says he should consider abolishing i.c.e. the famous interchange or she insinuated that i.c.e. could be compared to the kkk. it is those types of actions that show the american people simply do not trust her on the border. this is the greatest national security moment of our time. 241 individuals on the terrorist watch list have been apprehended at the border. ask yourself this question: if you're on the fbi terror watch list, why are you trying to sneak into this country? so many of those of us in law enforcement are so worried that the next 9/11 is not going to be planes hijacked, it's going to be 70 that crosses over our southern border and targets innocent americans. we will look back at that moment and we are going to react in horror. how in the world that we allow this to happen? we allowed this to happen because of the misguided policies of kamala harris and joe biden that have allowed this mass migration into this country, and it is why every american, this is at the top of

their a list. >> bill: that is just one view from one state, virginia. thanks for having demott coming out today. "new york post," $5 billion is the amount of money that new york has spent on migrants, tens of thousands of migrants. that is still coming to the city. $5 billion. that's not pocket change. >> dana: that's not including the business is losing a lot of money because the tourists can't get here because the migrants are in the hotels. >> bill: and they point out the dollar amount keeps going higher, so keep a watch on that. >> dana: there was also this overnight, a new report claims hunter biden was seeking help from the u.s. government for a potentially lucrative energy project while his father was a vice president. he is the headline. hunter biden sought state department help for ukrainian company. chief washington correspondent mike emanuel. i was reminded when i saw this story today as when the obama team anonymously was putting out there that hunter biden was a problem, way back in that administration. this could have been one of the

reasons. >> good memory, dana. the timing is interesting. after president biden dropped his reelection bid, they released records showing his son solicited the u.s. government assistance while joe biden was vice president. "the new york times" reporting, "hunter biden wrote at least one letter to the u.s. ambassador to italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the ukrainian gas company buries them burisma where he was a board member. the official noted biden was seeking help for ukrainian company and maintain the u.s. government should not be advocating with the italian government without proper procedures. "i want to be careful about promising too much," wrote a commerce department official based at the u.s. embassy in rome. fox has reached out to hundreds attorney, abbe lowell. lola told "the new york times," "no meaning occurred, no project materialized, no request for

anything in the u.s. was ever sought, and only an introduction in italy was requested." of course the president said many times he was not aware of hundreds business dealings. >> i did not know he was on the board of that company. >> i have never discussed my business or their business, my son 'his or her daughter's. >> of a never discussed a single thing with my son about anything to do the ukraine. >> i've never spoken with my son about his overseas business dealings. >> i've never discussed with my son or brother or anything else anything having to do with their business, period. >> a white house official referred us to hunter biden's personal representatives. dana? >> dana: this is going to be a big story. even "the new york times" is expressing suspicion about those documents being released after biden pulled out. thank you. >> some convenient reporting, huh, my lady? alex murdaugh might get his day in court again. what? a bombshell decision out of

south carolina supreme court. we will tell you what that's all about, coming up. >> dana: plus, monitoring the latest of elements in israel as the world awaits a potential attack from iran. >> bill: and a new report saying the harris campaign as a sneaky way of getting the vp good press online. how about writing the headlines yourself? that might do it. we will tell you how. ♪ ♪

>> bill: south carolina supreme court. get this, a greeting to hear alex murdaugh's appeal for a new trial. that disgraced attorney can make it about a year ago of murdering his wife and son, serving to kill consecutive life sentences. his lawyers allege that the former county clerk, rebecca hill, tampered with the jury in the courtroom.

she is accused of influencing jurors against murdaugh so she could sell a book about the case. we will see whether or not that argument flies very soon. >> access to affordable health care should not be a privilege. it should be a right. >> who here would abolish the private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan? [applause] >> how important is it to your health care plan to get rid of private insurance companies? >> the bottom line and the most important is that everyone have access to health care. that is the goal, that is the purpose for me supporting the policy of medicare for all. >> dana: vice president harris promising health care reform back in 2019, that once again a campaign official tells fox she will not push it this time around. a recent forbes article attracts harris' history of flip flopping in the issue. let's bring in the author of that piece, and the president of the foundation for research on

equal opportunity, which is a great think tank. a lot of wise policy coming out of there. where do we stand on this idea? medicare for all is popular in the 2020 democratic primary, but as soon as they kind of touched the hot stove, all of them except for bernie sanders backed away from it. what do you think she stands for today? >> vice president harris did not totally back away from it. what is being portrayed as her moderate backing away from the bernie sanders plan, which would eliminate all private insurance throughout the country, is a plan that would eliminate most private insurance throughout the country and spend just as much as the bernie plan. so from a fiscal and economic standpoint, her plan would increase federal spending by about $30 2:30 $5 trillion. it's the most radical plan ever proposed by a major party nominee, at least in my lifetime. now her anonymous campaign officials are saying she might not support that exact plan. but we don't know yet. all we know from her is that the most recent plan she put out as a plan that would spend about

$35 trillion, about 12 times what obamacare costs back when we were arguing about obamacare. >> dana: a 2020 they was a poll asking people what they thought about getting rid of private health insurance. this is insurance he would get through your employer. 42% opposed, 49%. let me just ask you this. people might say the cost would be worth it because things would then be more fair, and the quality of health care might be better under a harris plan. how would you respond to that notion? >> there is no evidence of that. everywhere you look where there is a single-payer plan like canada or the u.k., where they have abolished private health insurance and is only government health insurance, the plans are lower quality and people are trying to escape that system, even within medicare today, more than half of the people enrolled within medicare are enrolled in private health insurance because they find the private health insurance plans serve them better and have better financial deals, and have

lower costs and better services than the traditional government-run medicare program. that is what bernie wanted to abolish. by the way, kamala harris was the first senator to cosponsor bernie's plan back in 2017 to abolish all private health insurance. so yes, she has been a little a little back and forth on this issue, but the so-called moderate version of her plan would still basically eliminate most private health insurance within ten years. >> dana: one of the things republicans had said for years is that they would repeal and replace obamacare. they have walked away from that, as well. from the republican standpoint, if they want to beat the democrats on the issue of health care, what is either the best policy were the best message for them to say? is more competition? how do we continue to be better than the canadian and the british system? >> the republicans should advocate making sure everybody has affordable options for health insurance. there is a bill that has been introduced in both the house and the senate called the fair care act by mike braun in the senate and bruce westerman and jim banks in the house, and that would accomplish that.

there are ways to address the problems of affordability through private insurance, through more competition, lower cost, more innovation. so republicans shouldn't just say the status quo is okay. most americans don't believe the status quo is okay. but abolishing private insurance will make the health care system worse because you have fewer choices, a one-size-fits-all plan. if the government plan doesn't serve your needs, you don't have anywhere to go. you have to leave the country to get a different kind of health insurance. >> dana: and then where are you going to go? exactly. thank you very much. stay in touch with us, because we love to talk about the policies here. we will help the vice president does as well soon. thank you. >> bill: no relief for your pocketbook, but you know that by now. new inflation numbers are just out, and things you buy are not getting cheaper. larry kudlow on how he sees at the moment. we will talk to larry, and there's also this. >> what donald trump needs to do is go out there and campaign every single day, telling the american people exactly what

kamala harris has said. we need him to win. but you've got to go out and do the work. >> bill: nikki haley sending that test message. should republicans take your advice? donald trump will have that chance today when he goes to north carolina. we will talk to senator tom cotton on that and e fa. you're the first to know when high rate debt is stressing your budget. but your family's service has earned you a big advantage. the va home loan benefit. with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan, you can pay off high rate credit cards and car loans. that's real money you can use to take care of your family and home. raising twins and as a single mother, presented, quite a few challenges. the financial aspects of oh my gosh, how am i going to provide for my family? i'm going to have to get two jobs. thomas kennedy, he was a major in the u.s. army.

tom loved hockey. he went to west point, to play hockey. and ended up falling in love with the army. he was a father. he was, a great husband, he would give you a shirt off of his back for you. in 2012, tom was deployed to afghanistan. he was on his way to a provincial governor's meeting, tom was killed by a suicide bomber. when the bomb went off, tom was in a group of four that were, killed in the incident. the morning i found out. our world has just been upended. you know, with not having tom around to be here in our everyday life, my sister moved in with us, and she helped me with the day to day life of raising, two year old twins. in 2018 i was diagnosed with breast cancer. kind of threw a wrench in to what we had established as our, our daily life and our new normal. my mother-in-law had told me about tunnel to towers. and when i found out that i was selected to have my mortgage paid off, you know, it seemed like i had won the lottery. today, we welcome the kennedy family into their mortgage free home.

the timing was just incredible. with everything that i'm going through with my treatments for metastatic breast cancer. having our biggest bill being taken care of by tunnel to towers, i'm able to on my children and my health. people should give to tunnel to towers, because it really helps family members of fallen service members know, first responders who they wake up one day and it's a normal day and then their world can just be turned upside down. to know that there is an organization that can step in irreplaceable. please contribute $11 a month. to help families like mine please visit t2t dot org.

>> dana: fox news alert, a new inflation report was just released. the consumer price index rising 2.9% from the same time a year ago. that is according to the labor department. sticker shock is being felt especially hard in the grocery store with the rising price of staples. now the impact is spreading across america. a black working mom in philadelphia breaking down in tears. watch. >> how hard has inflation hit you? >> it's hitting me hard. >> who do you blame for it? >> i blame the federal government at this point. it's a working-class mom who works as a paralegal cannot buy a $2 bell pepper because it is now $5, imagine a mother living on food stamps.

imagine a mother who is making minimum wage trying to feed children. they are killing us without killing us. >> dana: larry kudlow joins us now. it's important to hear from voters directly like her, and consumers who are just feeling that these prices -- this new report that comes out. helpful news, hopeful news? >> not bad. it was in line with expectations. by the way, thanks for having me. i appreciate it. >> dana: of course. >> it is in line, you're right. 2.9% cpi, 3.2% for the so-called core cpi. from your clip, from that woman, she is right. yesterday the producer price index came out. she has had some very bad food numbers. i will just read them off to you. overall, food rose's extensive 1%. that is 7.6% annualized rate.

fresh fruit, melons come up 10.3% paid beef prices of 7.7%. pork prices up 1.8%. coffee prices up 3.3%. food inflation is sort of coming back this summer to bite people. they are very expensive numbers, and you probably heard trump on with elon musk last night, the other night, talking about how people can't afford groceries. there is a lot to that. the trouble is, these 12-month changes in the cpi look okay. 2.9%, 3.2%. defense target is 2%, so it is still about a point above. but, through the full term of joe biden and kamala harris, the long tail of inflation persists. so prices are up over 20%,

slightly over 20%. grocery prices i think are now up about 25%. energy prices are still up about 40%, including electricity prices. so you go down that list, and the other part is wages have not kept up with prices. so you have what i call the affordability crisis, where real wages are falling about 4% over the course of the biden-harris term, and prices -- average families can't afford it. mortgage rates are still relatively high, credit card rates are high. >> bill: i love going out to dinner, but man, i fear the bill. and i don't think i'm alone. i think there are millions of people watching this you feel the same way. now, a specific question, peter doocy to the copresident at the moment from yesterday. >> how much more progressive's

vice president harris then you as a candidate in the general? speak of the issues have worked on together, knowing what we no onecalls what we did progres. >> that might be a good play for him and maybe it is smart for kamala harris. the first part, to get we made big progress economically. we were just talking to them commercial. she says on day one she's going to fight the prices. well, according to my mask, she has been the vice president for 1,305 days, thereabouts. so you have got the numbers from earlier today. doesn't move the needle needle at all, larry? >> you ask yourself, if they were going to fight it, why didn't they fight it? so that is it. but from what i gather, her speech -- i guess yesterday or the day before, she is going to come out with a plan. she is basically going to bash

businesses. she's going to accuse businesses once again of price gouging and excess margins. i just want to say these charges by biden and harris are now 3.5 years old plus, and there is no evidence of corporate price gouging or excessive margins, or something called corporate greed. the rate of return, the margins are very modest across the board. in fact, food price margins from grocery stores and food companies actually declined in july, and i don't know what they did in june. but that is an old charge. it is just what people on the left always blame, business. the fact of the matter is we spend too much, we have overregulation which has held that production. they have the war against fossil

fuels, which holds back production and keeps prices high. you need some deregulatory incentives in this economy, and that includes clearing up the matter of the trump tax cuts. that's where she should go, that she's not going to do, because the left hates businesses. the left hates businesses. that's all i can say. businesses are not the problem. government is the problem. government spending and regulating, and taxing. you just had a story yesterday, the budget deficit for this fiscal year '24 is coming in about $1.9 trillion or $2.0 trillion. you are in a position of nearly full employment. the inflation rate is still higher than the target. they are pumping in money at $2 trillion, as far as the eye

can see, according to the congressional budget office? really? let the tech business? really? and i think that stuff is going to fly and i think the polls show that inflation is still a very hot topic and blaming business is not going to do it. bill hemmer, a well-to-do guy like yourself, i'm going to take you out to dinner. >> bill: please do. >> we've got a neighborhood place here that you and i can both afford, and if dana is free for dinner, we would love to have her, too. >> dana: i would love to join. thanks so much, larry. and when the vice president gives a speech you will have full coverage of that on your show at 4:00. thank you so much. >> bill: about the economy, this is what we found out the first and second week of july in our polling. about a quarter of all americans now only feel good about the economy, or excellent. you have three quarters thinking it is fair or poor. how does that translate to some of the states? a little artwork here.

economy, immigration, and abortion on the board behind us. this is wisconsin, pennsylvania, minnesota, michigan. the blue wall, right? look at where the economy rates and all four of the states. it doubles immigration and abortion. it doubles immigration and abortion. again in pennsylvania, again in wisconsin. so it gives you a real good sense about what people are thinking about in terms of their priorities. pocketbook, independent voters vote on the economy and the pocketbook. keep that in mind as we look at all these polls going into september and october. this is our forecast, we put it out two weeks ago. these are the states we believe our toss ups come in yellow. nevada, wisconsin and pennsylvania and the blue wall. in michigan we have lien democrats, so we will keep an eye on that. georgia, too. as you go into this polling in the weeks and months to come, we will see whether or not the numbers change specifically in the states. we will be in chicago.

wright, dana? starting sunday. >> dana: also this, there are many in gymnastics federation is proposing splitting the olympics bronze medal three ways. you kind of liked this idea yesterday. >> bill: i did. >> dana: so jordan chiles would be sharing the floor exercise award with two other romanian athletes. the international olympic committee overturned chiles' appeal to the scoring dispute and they turned the prize over to the romanian. there is this woman named sabrina who was also unfairly penalized and deserves a higher score. i am going to stick to my guns, but tyrus and i had our first's agreement yesterday and all the time we've known each other. because he agreed with you about this. congratulations. >> bill: i just don't want the american to be penalized. i think she was innocent. i think she should come home with a bronze. we will see what they do. california federal judge ruling in favor of jewish students at ucla -- remember when we watched

♪ ♪ >> he has been a model chief executives, and with his experience, i'm telling you, tim walz will be ready on day one. >> bill: ready on day one, but that is not how many in minnesota apparently see it, including my next guest. she has had one heck of an ordeal. she's a grandmother of soon to be 18 grandkids. she owns a small bistro south of minneapolis, sent to jail in

december of 2021 for defining governor walz's covid restrictions. can you meet lisa hansen. he joins me now. thank you for your time. i'm really sorry for what you experienced and what you went through. you have eight kids, running a business, and the governor did what to you? >> thank you, by the way, for having me on. this is an important story that needs to be shared. america needs to know what kind of a man tim walz is. he basically shut us down in 2020, shut some of us down. he shut the nonessential business is down. i don't know how they governor gets to decide what is nonessential. so that was restaurants, bars, dance studios, hair salons, those types of places. we all got shut down 100%. with the promise of opening soon within two weeks, and we didn't know what was going on, we didn't know what this covid-19 thing was, so we consented to

shut down. all the while knowing that the governor has no authority to do what he did, because we all know a governor doesn't make laws. long story short, we were never open back up slowly, and then in november 2020 we were shut down again, fully shut down. keep in mind the contrast. the businesses i already mentioned were the ones considered nonessential, and we were closed. in contrast, who got to stay open? the big box stores got to stay open, the liquor stores, and strip clubs, actually, got to stay open. so november came, and again i told my husband, we can't do this. we can't survive another shut down. so i had two choices, bill. i decided i was either going to close my business permanently, because we couldn't afford to stay in business any longer, or

i was going to open up fully and see if we could survive this. >> bill: and you chose option b, didn't you? you chose option b. you opened up, and you are hit, i assume, with a warning? and then you were sentenced to 90 days in jail, of which he served two-thirds of that sentence. and you are quoted as saying, "my business was destroyed. my business is now gone." >> that is correct. shortly after that, there was just no way we could survive. we went into full-time litigation, basically, trying to fight for our business, to fight for our employees' jobs, fighting for -- not just trying. we fought for our rights tooth and nail. the issue was governor tim walz, a chain general keith ellison, and every judge that we faced, all in lockstep together. we have rights in this country. our constitution gives us

rights. or, actually, i should say, our constitution protects our god-given rights. when i faced these tyrannical leaders, if you will, there were no rights. i was stripped of all due process. i was even stripped of my defense in a court of law, an american court of law. i was not able to present my events in a court of law in front of -- >> bill: you've got eight kids, right? you are a hardworking mom. and look at you and thinking, you did 60 days in jail. we queued this up, this is governor walz in november of 2020. just play this clip. >> we know the ways to control this and we know what doesn't pose as high a risk but gives us both economic, physical, and mental well-being if we participate in those activities. >> bill: i just wanted to roll that because i understand there was a snitch line in minnesota if you weren't keeping 6 feet apart. i've got 15 seconds here.

but you say his policies are a train wreck. how? >> absolutely, in every way. his policies destroyed the american people's rights, minnesotans' rights, had to be specific. he destroyed so many businesses in the state of minnesota never to open again. he destroyed so many lives in minnesota, literally. the man is a criminal and he should be impeached and he should be prosecuted. >> bill: that's really tough language. we hope to get him on and ask some questions about this, and get his view on it. lisa, thank you for coming on today. you have since moved to iowa. good luck there. >> yes, sir. thank you. >> dana: a sending a counter down that counteroffensive in russia. how the country caught up to. and can you have more carbs? before you decide with the freestyle libre 3 system know your glucose and where it's heading no fingersticks needed.

story, tracking it from london. very interesting developments on how this war has changed in seven days. go ahead. >> absolutely. this might be the boldest move that zelenskyy and the ukrainians that made since the start of the war. this counteroffensive is now in its second week, let them back yet ukrainians continue to take land in russia and they aren't able to hold them back. it seems as if they were not expecting this and i sadly don't know how to respond. ukrainian troops now hold about 74 villages. they have captured over 100 russian troops. they claim to hold a significant natural gas station which russia uses to control its flow of gas to europe. meanwhile you have 75,000 russian civilians who have been evacuated, so inside russia this is creating even further turmoil. a ukrainian forces now control over 400 square miles of russia. they continue to advance. in the southeast as well as the northwest. president zelenskyy says this

incursion proves that ukraine is able to take the initiative, and he said the war was coming home to russia and that he vowed to kill the russian terrorists where they are and where they launched air strikes from. kursk, where this invasion is happening, is a key area where strikes happen. this list morale. both for the ukrainians but also it shows western allies that ukraine is a country still capable of putting a fighting force forward. it also means russia has to move thousands of troops away from other heavily contested front lines, and it may also put the ukrainians in a more favorable bargaining position in the event of any potential cease-fire talks. the ukrainian foreign ministry spoke on that recently saying, the sooner russia restore a just peace, the sooner ukrainian raids on russian territory will stop. the question is how putin will respond. he had said any kind of invasion into russian territory will be met really friendly, and the question is whether he starts going further after ukrainian city season using increasingly strong weapons to do so.
