stuart: here is the trivia question: god bless america was originally written for which 1918 musical, oh, lady, a lady, watch your step, blossom time or yip yip yap, which i've never heard of? lauren: number one. stuart: i'll go with what's your step, not knowing anything about it. the answer is yip, yip, yap. irving berlin was enlisted to write a musical to entertain the troops but ended up cutting the song because he thought it was too solemn for the show. in 1938 he he rewrote it and gave it to kate smith to sing on the radio during armistice day. time's up for me, "coast to coast" starts right now. neil: well, they say we live in interesting times, that is probably an understatement.

you're look at one donald j. trump who is on his way to miami where at 3 p.m. tomorrow he will meet the judge and then, we're told the, after these 37 counts might, we access might, be all sort of detailed, then we'll get a better idea what the game plan is for the former president who will whisk himself back to new jersey, we're told the, plans a speech tomorrow from his bedminster golf club in new jersey. but it you think the markets are getting a little leery about all of this, anxious and what the fallout is, they have a funny i way of showing it. i keep mentioning this to point out that they have bigger concerns, and so far not too many weighty concerns. keep in mind that the day after the president, you know to, is in that miami courthouse, we'll be seeing the federal reserve starting a 2-day meeting in washington at which the betting seems to be it will pass on any interest rate hikes for the time being. we're going to get into the latter in just a second. want to go to jonathan serrie

right now in miami where the president will be tomorrow and some history could be in the making yet again. jonathan. >> reporter: yeah, neil. well, president trump arriving in miami a day before his scheduled appearance in the courthouse. you see behind me. his meet plans today when he gets here is to meet with his lawyers and discuss strategy with them before going into that hearing tomorrow. he faceses 37 -- faces 37 counts related to the alleged mishandling of white house classified documents that he stored in various locations in palm beach, florida. south carolina senator lindsey graham says although he can does not like certain things the former president kid, the charges against him are too aggressive. >> most republicans believe we live in a country where hillary clinton did very similar things and nothing happened to her. president trump will have his day in court, but espionage charges are absolutely ridiculous. >> reporter: but mr. trump's

former attorney general says he was shocked by the number and sensitivity of the documents in question. some containing u.s. military strategy. bill barr says in this case federal prosecutors have legitimate concerns about the former president. >> he's not a victim here. he was totally wrong that he had the right to have those documents. those documents are among the most sensitive secrets the country has. >> reporter: and adderalllys over the weekend -- at rallies over the weekend, mr. trump accused prosecutors and the justice department of trying to suppress his political career. but he says he's not backing down. neil? neil: all right, jonathan, thank you for that that. jonathan serrie in miami where the president will be in short order, again, to get ready for tomorrow, 3 p.m. eastern time he appears before the judge. andy mccarthy here to pick apart what the former president might be in for and how all plays out. andy, of course, former

assistant u.s. attorney the, fox news contribute e, we're grateful for both. andy, maybe you can play out the procedure tomorrow. >> i think that'll happen, neil, is there'll be an arrangement for security purposes and simplicity purposes between the fbi and the secret service and the court authorities in miami to make sure former president trump gets into the building without difficulty. i think one of the reasons they're doing this in miami as opposed to, say, palm beach is that that's a courthouse that can accommodate the security concerns that are obvious here. they'll have made arrangements for him to be processed like other defendants are processed. he won't be cuffed, there won't be an arrest on the street, there won't be any of that sort of thing. there's a 3:00 hearing that's apparently scheduled before judge i'll lean cannon who is -- aileen cannon, who's a trump

appointee, for the purposes of the rain i indiana -- arraignment on the indictment which means former president trump will have to enter a plea. he'll enter a not guilty plea. and there may be some scheduling about motions and even potentially a trial date, although i think one of those is pretty far away. there'll be no reason to to set bail, i would think, in this case. even though the charges are serious, we're talking about a former president who's in the custody or at least a protectee of the secret service, is so i seriously doubt that will be an issue. neil: jack smith, the prosecutor in this case, as to you've reminded me, andy, was erring on the side of a swift trial and trying to get this before a judge, presumably a jury, as soon as possible. how do you think that part would go? >> if he -- if that was his goal, neil, i think he made a tactical error or strategic error. if he really wanted a quick trial, what i think he would have done was just indict the

obstruction counts because at least then you could argue that, you know, you didn't need to get into any of the issues of the presidential records act and the classified documents, etc. by having 31 counts of possessing unlawfully these intelligence reports, what he really invites is the defense to come in and say the jury needs to know a lot more about these documents in order for us to make our defense. that's a pretty common strategy of defense lawyers in these cases which is known as gray mail. they don't really want so much to get into the fullness of the documents, but they know that if the government fights against more expansive discovery and more information for the jury about what's in the documents, there is a specter that the defense's due process rights to make a defense is being suppressed or cut off.

so that's where, you know, a lot of this usually dose this these kinds of cases -- goes in these kinds of cases. and it requires a lot of pretrial litigation under the classified information procedures act which can take some time. to if he wanted to get this to trial quickly, i'm kind of puzzled why he indicted it the way he did. pa. neil: now you then ask if it isn't quick and it takes some time, would they weigh the fact that this guy is running for president of the united states? right now he's actually widened his lead in large participant because of this -- part because of in this over all the other candidates. he could very well be the republican nominee going against, you know, democratic candidate. and any trial, leaving aside the one in new york on the criminal issues here, the financial issues here, timing would be everything. so does that come into play? >> yeah, it does come into play, neil, along with other things, you know? you mentioned the trial in new york. i wish it were just that simple.

i mean, this would be hard to schedule even if it were the only thing on former president trump's dance card, but you mentioned the trial this new york. they have a hearing on that later this month to try to get it into federal court. i don't think they're going to succeed on that, but it's a big hearing this month. then in august the, the first two weeks of august, we expect to get indictments from the district attorney in fulton county, georgia, in connection with the 2020 election. on october 3rd, former president trump faces a trial in new york for the attorney general, lee tissue that shah james' massive civil complaint in that case against the former president, his cult children, his -- his adult children, his organization. that's going to take some time to try. then he's supposed to be back in court in december on the alvin bragg case, the manhattan district attorney's case. that that case has been scheduled for trial march 25th which is two weeks after super

tuesday. and then sprinkled in, you know, sliding many somewhere along the line when you have a federal case to deal with, and that doesn't even take into account other things that may drop. i assume that smith at some point is going to drop a report or because he's a special counsel, he gets to write a report. he's also investigating the january 6th part of this. i don't think that's going to end up in charges, but i think there'll be a report. neil: now, in the georgia case, of course, and what role former president might have played in that recount that was going on, i had georgia's secretary of state with me over weekend k and he was just saying there's a lot are there that could hint of indictments separately. i guess the point is with all of this, if this all proceeds as planned and he is found guilty in any one or several of these cases, can he continue running for president? can he, in fact, be president? >> so i think nowadays, neil,

you have to answer the question if that's a legal are question, the answer is, yes. there's nothing in the constitution that prevents somebody who is under indictment or even serving a sentence from being president. now, as a practical matter, if the senate is and the house believe that the president couldn't do the job because of the constraints of litigation and confinement even, then, you know, it would be possible that they'd impeach him. that would be the way of getting the person out of power. but i'm going to tell you, neil, the same thing i think we discussed last week which is anybody who says they know how this is all going to the play out is, you know, they're dropping acid or something because we've never been through anything like this. [laughter] nobody knows what'll happen. neil: this is a family show, andy, just so you know. very good with analysis -- >> i caught myself there.

neil: yes, you did. [laughter] you could have revered into bakery products or something hike that, but, andy, i appreciate it. now, as andy was speaking, if you're looking for any repercussions from the markets, zero, nada, zilch, zippo. there are a lot of trump fans certainly among the investment community. maybe they think this is going ono where, they're far more focused on the federal reserve, the meeting kicking off on wednesday with, the day after the president deals with the judge in miami. kenny polcari with us, carol roth with us. carol, do you think the fed notwithstanding and focused on issues, i can understand that, that this does build to the case if it proceeds along and the president, let's say, is found guilty on any one of these indictments that seem to be building up like, well, planes at newark international airport, that then it will become a concern? wall street abhors uncertainty, i get that, but it's not in

effect now. >> yeah. i kind of feel like the market is again x market, they seem to be shrugging and just going whatever to almost every single thing. [laughter] i do think it's kind of the short-termism. they don't seem to be concerned about what's happening to trump, they don't seem to be concerned about sticky inflation, they don't seem to be concern about the credit situation, they don't seem to be concerned about government spending and what the refilling of the treasury general account or refinancing the debt later this year might do to the banks and what not. it just seems like there's not a lot of care and that they are very short term in focus. i think your point, neil, is a good one that as we get closer to these things happening and they see real issues, you know, on the horizon, then there probably is something going on. but right now, you know, it's very breakfast clubbish out there. neil: and we should point out, kenny, that the presidential election is still a ways away. but having said that, i can understand being focused on the

federal reserve right now, what it's going to do. we do have a fed survey out that shows inflationary expectations are now the lowest they've been in two years. we've got a cpi reading, a retail flakes reading tomorrow. so let's focus on the fed for the time being. what do you think they do, and what signal do you think they send? >> so i think they're going to, i think they've done a very good job of signaling that that heir going to to skip, right? we're not going to get a rate hike. i my -- think if there was any sense that wasn't the case, they would have leaked a story over the weekend that goldman and the "wall street journal," make sure that it was out there, make sure people could talk about it on the sunday shows and then get ready for it today. that didn't happen over the weekend, so my sense is that, you know, they're going forward with a skip which is not a pivot, it's not a pause, it's just a skip. and then i think we have to listen to the what jay powell says in terms of the guidance, right? is it going to be as hawkish as some analysts think it is the, or is it going to be a little bit more muted?

it depends kind of on what we see happen with cpi tomorrow and ppi on monday. i'm exiting we're going to see both of those readings decline fairly substantially, and if we do, that may give him cover to be a little less hawkish which might even suggest that you're not going to get a hike in july even though there are three or to four fedheads that are talking about higher rates, loretta midwester and jimmy bullard and neel kashkari are still pushing for higher rates. but if the number drops fairly significantly, it may give him cover to say, you know, we're going to skip again in july. neil: yeah, that would give them time to do so, so they might be just waiting for the data-dependent fed to do what it says it wanted to do, follow the data. guys, don't wander too far, want to pick your brain on other developments moving the markets. of course, donald trump is not one of them, so we'll keep an eye on that. also keeping an eye on cuba. remember the administration denying there was any truth to the chinese building an

as close as you can get to our backyard, in cuba. this was disavow ised by the administration and the chinese themselves saying there was no truth they had an espionage center or spying fortress looking at all things united states. they updated that at the white house to say, yeah, it's been around a while and we inherited it. general jack keane with us now. general, i don't know what's more alarming, the fact that they denied all of this last week or now this week are acknowledging it and blaming it on the prior administration. not to point fingers on this, but if they have this capability, the chinese, and have destructed it on cuba, what do we -- constructed it on cuba, what do we co? >> first of all, we've got to be disappointed in the administration, first. the "wall street journal" article turns out to be very accurate in the fact there is an espionage pieing capability in cuba -- spying capability in cuba. the administration came out and said that's not accurate, did the not explain what that word

accurate meant, but led us to believe that, well, maybe it's not true. and it turns out to be true. there should be a lot more disclosure into what's going on here, neil, to the american people and particularly to the congress where they can talk classified and get into the bottom of this thing. i'm not even accepting the fact it's been there since 2019. i listen to the former director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe, on another show where he maintained that he had no knowledge of that nor does his intelligence service have any knowledge in this espionage base existed in 2019. that goes back to the accusation about former spy balloons during the trump administration as well. so we need a better with extra nation. the larger issue -- explanation. the larger issue, certainly, is china's comprehensive presence in our hemisphere. they're in 21 countries with the belt anded road initiative as congressman waltz pointed out. they own a number of port facilities which is one of their

strategies. we know that china uses economics, financial influence as weapons, weapons for what? geopolitical influence. remember, their goal is certainly to dominate and control the indo pacific region rain replace the united states as its world leader. one of the interesting facets, neil, of the g7, confidential discussions without any of the other extra that countries are invited to it, and they talked among themselves, and they were alarmed by the fact of china's influence particularly russia to a second degree throughout the globe and on every single continent and the fact that they, as democratic countries and sort of the organizers of the international order that has been in existence for close to 80 years now, that they are collectively losing their influence the china and to russia.

and china's a major weapon is economics and certainly mercantilism and the pressure of their predatory economics. so, yes, this is such a can comprehensive strategy that i wish the administration would categorize it more accurately as to what it is. and the fact that we are interested in containing china. china's got it right, china says the united states is trying to contain us, contain china, and that is accurate. but we keep saying we only want to compete with them. we don't want them to dominate and control the indo-pacific region, we don't want them to take over the international order in the world at the expense of the united states and like-minded democracies. of course we're attempting to contain them, and we've got to do a better job explaining to the american people what that strategy is. and that's my frustration here. this is a pinprick in a sense, but it exposes a much larger problem. we have a base there, and you asked can the question, neil, we

have guantanamo bay. so there are some things, i'm assuming -- can again, assuming -- we're doing to counter this espionage threat which is largely monitoring radio, telephone, satellite and internet transmissions. neil: yeah. they are this our neighborhood, that's one thing to be in the south china sea, but this is 90 miles off the florida coast. general, always good having you. thank you very much. >> yeah. great talking to you, neil. have a wonderful week. neil: you too, my friend. general jack keane on all of that. meanwhile, nasty weather throughout much of the country, 40-50 million americans in the path of some devastating storms. and, by the way, that other weather story is the wildfire news and the smoke that a comes with it up north in canada. it's coming back our way, after this. ♪ ♪ now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other. ♪ you can stand turned my umbrella -- umbrella -- ♪ you can stand under my

neil: all right, last week we were dealing with the smoke are from canada, right, from the wildfires. by the way, that's getting to be an issue again. but in a large swath of the the south right to now, affecting 40 million americans under this severe storm threat, it's quite another and more immediate, pressing matter. steven morgan, fox weather meteorologist, with more of what we're looking at. >> reporter: neil, that smoke might have one final act before we get a break, and we'll talk about that more. the more imminent threat this afternoon will be some severe weather. and it's the over those usual suspects, those areas, the panhandle of texas, oklahoma, up even into colorado. already this morning we've seen severe weather, some hail. about 2.5-inch in diameter in fletcher, oklahoma. that's closer to the size of tennis balls, so the storm prediction center has issued that area between i-20 and i-35 if you're familiar with the stretch of interstates in the

lone star state, say between abilene east into waco and dallas, and as we go through the afternoon, we could be dealing with perhaps some is significant hail. the storm prediction center never minces their words when they issue these outlooks, talking about the possibility of giant hail. so that's bigger than perhaps the tennis ball-sized hail we saw this oklahoma. we could be approaching 3 or 4-inch in diameter if these storms materialize. a lot of times there are limiting factors, but this afternoon -- and this does include the metroplex, the largest city this in texas when we consider dallas and fort worth, millions living there. but even south where we saw significant hail yesterday, this is all signaling a bit of a pattern change. i know we've been stuck in this patterns especially up in the northeast which we'll talk about here soon, but we need something big to kick that smoke on out of here, and it looks like that that pattern is taking shape at least right now in the southern plains. the other component that we have

to watch with out for are damaging winds. and not always, but sometimes we have that that heightened threat for winds, winds that could be significant, perhaps destructive. 75 mile-per-hour or stronger. once again, i-35, it would take you down into san antonio, north into dallas and i-20 the south, that's where we need to watch it. as far as the flooding threat, that's also an existing concern. and the next few days could lead e to severe weather. that active weather persisting, and whenever we talk about multiple days of severe weather, we have to the look at the flooding potential. there is going to be a zone in in and georgia where we have the possibility of maybe seeing and picking up through saturday about 5-8 inches worth of rain. so that's going to be a lingering concern despite the severe weather we're going to see later this afternoon in the southern plains. and as we wrap up, let's focus in on the northeast because we have something that a lot of folks just haven't seen since, say, mid-may. detroit not picking up any measurable rain, finally seeing some showers.

that shield of moisture is working through. and, neil, if you remember, we were praying, hoping for rain as that air quality was so poor. guess what? we're finally getting it. but before we do, here comes some of that dust. the burlington the national weather service office saying today we could deal with some near-surface smoke until the rain clears and this front cleas it out. neil: please tell me it won't be the surreal mars landscape -- [laughter] >> reporter: that's it. a moderate air quality day of new york city, about 80. we were, like, 450 last week. almost off the charts. neil: incredible. i remember it very well, my friended. thank you very much. steven morgan. a couple of developments we're following, we're getting word the ftc has filed an injunction to block microsoft's activision blizzard takeover here. don't know details behind that. there were some rumors that mom some in the government -- that

some in the government were not too keen on this, but microsoft, technology stocks in general have been doing very well. the nasdaq 100 has been on fire, apple itself in and out of all-time highs. where apple stands right now, around is -- 181, 182 when last i checked. again, we're keeping an eyen that because apple, of course, and just a few other big tech heavyweights have been on fire. at this level right now the closing high is 182.01 is, obviously, we're a little bit better than that as things stand right now. did get up to 184 in intraday da trading. where it counts as we finish the day. we're on that with kenny polcari and carol roth. carol, you know, you think about the it, i never want to complain about a rally, but it's been pretty dependent on technology the, right? and a few big names in technology. what do you make of that? >> yeah, there's definitely not been a lot of breadth to the market which isn't really a great sign.

i'm old enough to remember, neil, when everybody was really excited about iot, the internet of things, and that was the big thing in technology. then the technology sales people said, oh, no, no, we're going to be web 3s and that created a lot of frenzy. and now they've changed their sails to a.i. so, obviously, that's a big driver. iot company, now everybody is an a.i. company, and that seems to be what is propping up the market here. neil: you know, i don't want to overrealize developments when you get a wildcard development, kenny, in the case of the ftc looking to block microsoft's acquisition of activision blizzard. it could be, could be a sign that is the government going to rain on this tech party in what do you make of that? >> well, i think the government always has the possibility to rain on the tech party, right? especially if it gets out of control. but to carol's point, i think this has just gotten concern you know, it's feeding on itself now. it feels very out of control, to me, that we have these seven or

eight names that are driving the action. nobody should be surprised at all if suddenly, you know, with the vix so low that we get hit with some headline out of the blue that's going to cause the market to trade off. and these names will be the first ones to come under the knife. why? because they're all up multiple triple digits. it's nuts, right? but, yes, to your point, can the government jump in there? absolutely, if they're trying to control or they're trying to, you know, get control especially of a.i. so i think you have to leave yourself open to any possibility there. neil: what do you make, real quickly, carol, of the government already even some of the biggest a.i. players telling government to come this in and start looking at? i don't know if i put my trust in the government to fix something, even the major players don't understand. what do you think? [laughter] >> what do i think of the government, neil? you know, we could spend a whole hour on that. but in terms of their ability to regulate a.i., have you ever heard them in any of the hearings or anything about technology, it's like these

luddites trying to go, yeah, i heard of this interwebs thing. [laughter] how are these people going to craft, you know, any legislation that's going to have any meaningful control over a.i. would want overreaching their bounds? i think this is something that the tech firms have to come together, and they need to lead the charge on this because if we leave it in the hands of the government, forget it. neil: kenny, the real quick, do you like technology in the ago regate even at these lofty the levels? >> look, i like it and i own it. that doesn't mean i'm chasing it at all, right? it's become so overweight because of the action. i'm adding new money to other sectors that have are become underweight is and, quite honestly, a little bit more defensive because i do suspect we're going to the hit a pothole here and see some of this come back. i like it, i own it, i am not chasing it. neil: guys, you're the best. i appreciate you juggling all this breaking news and developments. great to see both of you again. in the meantime, keeping track of donald trump.

neil: all right, donald trump might be facing some renewed legal peril right now, this a little earlier when he was leaving newark international airport enroute to miami for that court appearance on those 37 counts over his handling of classified documents. but politically, this is actually helping the former president. in fact, helping him a lot. his poll numbers are rocketing anew. ashley webster in miami with more. ashley. >> reporter: yeah, good afternoon, neil. you know, for most political

candidates legal challenges like this would be bad news, but this is donald trump. there's no doubt that his indictment both on the new york level and the federal level are giving his campaign a boost. take this, for instance. since the beginning of the year his campaign has accumulated $34 million. and, in fact, this second quarter will end in a couple weeks, and we'll have a better idea of where the total stands. but of the reported money, almost half of that, $15.4 million, came within the next two weeks after the new york d.a. charges were filed, alvin bragg of manhattan. immediately after the federal charges were revealed, an e-mail was sent out asking trump supporters to, quote, never surrender and pledge a donation as small as $24. it is unclear exactly how much money has come in since the federal indictment just at the end end of last week, but donald trump telling his party faithful that that his campaign has gotten a boost. ache a listen. >> it's a horrible thing for

this country. i mean, the only good thing about it is it's driven my poll numbers way up. can you believe this? [cheers and applause] somebody said e the fund raising is through the roof. that's less important, but i will tell you it's really driven us right through the sky. >> reporter: you know what, neil? as soon as his initial court appearance is over here tomorrow afternoon, we're told he's going to the head straight back to new jersey, back to his place in bedminster where he is planning to host a fund raising event tomorrow night where they hope to the raise more than $2 million with just that one event. we're also told that 90% of the money collected goes to the campaign. the remaining 10% goes to, quote, other costs including legal fees. and as we know, those fees are starting to add up. neil, back to you. neil: indeed they are. ashley, thank you for that. want to go to tiana lowe of the washington examiner e. you know, he's not going to have

any problem raising funds off of this, that i can see. but i wanted to bounce this off you, of the other candidates and the donors for the other candidates whether, you know, they pour more money into them or they start thinking, man, this is a chasm here, why should i give this candidate more cash? >> certainly. and one of the things that makes this election really different from 2016 is we are not seeing the same influx of extremely, you know, strong potential competitors. this race is really narrowing down to five candidates thus far, right? you have trump and desantis who are by far the two front-runners, and you have pence, haley and tim scott. everyone else can't really break a percent. vivek ramaswamy has a couple of okay polls, but it's not as though tom cotton or glenn youngkin have decided to jump into this race because there's an understood premise that if you want to beat trump, you have to coalesce around one person sooner rather than later. there can't be with eight people on the ballot going into south

carolina. trump is obviously benefiting from the fact that this indictment came can after the new york indictment which was pretty brazenly pretty casual right? if you look at the content of this federal indictment, it's not great for trump. but because that that new york indictment already came out, he can correctly say he is being targeted. his angle right now is that being elected president is probably his best way to avoid prison. he could theoretically broker a deal with desantis to say to you win the presidency, give me a pardon and i'll endorse you, but that's not really how trump thinks. trump's in it to win it, and he has every incentive to see this thing through. neil: you know, a lot of candidates are have hinted that they would pardon the former president if they became president themselves. and that could explain the reticence on a lot of their part to certainly anger trump or, for that matter, the trump base. memories are long among this crowd that overwhelmingly loved

the former president and doesn't want to see these guys ripping him a new one. yet a couple of them have, you know? asa hutchinson the latest to say, as he he said after of the criminal indictments with alvin bragging, you should just step out of the race. chris christie's been very forceful saying these are serious charges and they're not made up. i'm paraphrasing, but with those two exceptions the others are flowing in line. what are we to make of that is? >> again, there is an understanding that because you have multiple indictments, because not all of them are very strong, the narrative that this is the deep state against the form former, you know, it might -- it's obviously not true when it comes to this doj indictment. but when you have, when you have russiagate, when you have multiple impeachments, it sort of creates a boy who cried wolf protection for trump, and that's why a lot of these candidates are scared to challenge him on 40 those grounds. i think there's the sense if

voters haven't considered his personal conduct disqualifying already, what is this one indictment compared to the other legal woes and personal scandals he's suffered. the angles at which the field is criticizing the president is interesting. desantis is going more from an anti-woke angle, but nikki haley has chosen the economy as attack. donald trump won the 2016 nomination specifically on promising to reform entitlements, and both pence and haley have criticized the administration for overblown spending. neil: things have a way of changing. great seeing you again. >> thank you so much, neil. neil: all right. let's go to jackie deangelis with what's coming up on "the big money" show. jackie: we're talking to congressman byron donalds today about what congress can do about this two-tiered justice system. and we've got senator ron johnson talking china and

neil: all right, there's a bill in california right now to prevent workplace violence. on paper it sounds good until you look at some of the, shall we say, bizarre details. jim desmond has looked into it, san diego county supervisor, kind enough to join us. this is not quite your cup of tea the, jim. tell me specifically what's in in that you found odd. >> well, this is senate bill 553, and basically what it does is it prohibits retail staff from intervening in any thefts or shoplifting from stores. if you know, which is maybe okay, it sounds okay on the surface in that, will all right, retail staff maybe should not be intervening. but to broadcast this to everyone and let it, you know, let them know that, basically, people -- criminals can come in and shoplift all you want, nobody's going to stop you or resist you, businesses and stores are already leaving california, are shutting down. this just allows, you know, this

is more of a license to steal, and you're not going to meet with any resistance unless you have armed guards there or guards that are trained in the retail theft. regular employees can no longer intervene. which basically means mom and pop shops and things like that that don't have those resources are basically going to have to close up or just have all their merchandise stolen, and there's nothing anybody can do about it. neil: yeah. i know a couple got fired by one retailer just for intervening because they endangered themselves and their coworkers' lives. but again, when you telegraph that to the bad guys' world, it's a green light, right? i mean, as it is right now if you're stealing less than $950, i think, you're fine so you even can put, you know, a figure on allowable crime. it just seems weird. >> well, it's just -- this is what happens. we have a supermajority of democrats in the sacramento, our capitol here in california, and

unfortunately they just want to make crime easier instead of, you know, taking preventions to stop crime or to eliminate the crime and to keep businesses here. they just keep passing more and more laws that make it harder for businesses to stay. if we're just going to allow these criminal activities to persist and nobody gets put in jail, they get up to 950 per occurrence. that that's not per day, $950 per occurrence -- neil: oh, is that right? i didn't even know that. >> yeah. you get a misdemeanor ticket say, hey, show up in court, and nobody does. and so by allowing now that no one's going to sop you in the stores or even confront you unless somebody has the wherewithal, and larger companies do, but even those are leaving. walgreens, you know, is stepping down. nordstroms left san francisco, many other retailers, old navy, others are looking at leaving san francisco, and we're to down in san diego here. we want to try to prevent this, you know, cases that are happening up in san francisco and keep that away from san

diego. but unfortunately, you know, under governor newsom this is, you know, these types of laws are being passed statewide, and the rest of us are stuck questioning what the heck is going on here. california, i think, is worth fighting for, i'm going to keep trying to, but we just can't allow theft and not be able to protect our businesses. and business owners not being able to protect themself. neil: it is the wild, wild times. jim december monday, thank you, san diego county supervisor on that. we'll keep you posted on how this is going. in the meantime, you might find health care a little bit prohibitive to buy, but there's an effort in new york where migrants are going to be getting it for free. it's on your tax dollar though. after this. ♪ 'cuz i can feel you breathe, it's washing over me -- ♪ and suddenly i'm melting into you. ♪ there's nothing left to the prove ♪ if we got this.

>> welcome back to "coast to coast" i'm madison alworth. migrants that make their way to new york could soon be getting healthcare coverage plans at completely no cost to them. this bill is being heard. its already been passed by the senate here in new york and it still needs to pass the assembly in two weeks. it is expected to pass, and if it does, it will cover healthcare for 240,000 migrants and funding be covered by federal tax dollars at the cost of $1 billion per year for five years. but those who oppose this bill argue that's not realistic. >> anyone who thinks that this

is going to be a five year program, i've got news for you. it's going to be here, as long as it is, because it will be continued unless it's repealed and it certainly isn't going to be repealed by the people who are there now. reporter: hand autographs extend beyond healthcare and in minnesota migrants here illegally can get tuition completely covered at the states public colleges. if their families make less than $80,000 a year, and it's not just what is being paid but it's also what's being lost. this is a migrant hotel on this side. i want to show you a restaurant on this side. they recently had to close. one of the things they said, neil, the reason why they had to close is because of the hotel turned into a migrant shelter. they we lied on customers at the hotel coming across the street to eat. they no longer have that and the restaurant is now closed. i'll send it back to you. neil: madison incredible thank you for that. now to jackie deangelis to take you through the next hour. jackie: thank you so much, neil great to see you as always. hello, everyone i'm jackie deangelis. taylor: i'm taylor riggs. brian: i'
