join us coming up. >> john: first fox news alert to an economy in crisis. americans crushed on high prices from gas to food while their retirement accounts evaporate. growing concerns a dramatic move by the fed on interest rates could send the economy spiralling into recession. john roberts in washington. sandra. great to have you back. >> sandra: i am sandra smith in new york. this is "america reports." we are watching all of this, brand-new numbers today from may painting a bleak picture of the american economy. consumer and producer prices still skyrocketing, and hitting record highs. all has major implications for your wallet as those producers that are facing higher costs plan to pass those higher numbers down to the consumer in the form of higher and higher prices. >> john: national price of gasoline up 63% from a year ago

and the highest ever. >> sandra: it is almost hard to believe, every day a new record. the white house has announced a middle east trip to saudi arabia next month. the administration calling the saudi's a strategic partner despite biden's campaign promises to treat the kingdom as a pariah. >> john: peter doocy is he white house on the latest on the economy that the white house might be looking at through rose-colored glasses. >> peter: and john so that point, president biden does not plan to do anything different, he said yeah, there's inflation but our economic plan is working. >> under my plan for the economy we made extraordinary progress, put america in position to tackle a worldwide problem that's worse everywhere but here, inflation, zapping the

strength of a lot of families. >> peter: he's admitting prices are high but claiming victory because unemployment is relatively low. >> in fact, so many americans lost their jobs that my predecessor became the second president in history to leave office with fewer jobs in america than when he took office. but you stepped up, the other one, by the way, was herbert hoover. >> peter: the president's remarks were campaign style with a raised voice and look at his record as opposed to any one crisis. and it's maybe a sign of things to come because the press secretary is telling us the president is running for re-election in 2024. >> does the president have the stamina, physically and mentally to continue on even after 2024? >> you are asking me this question, oh, my gosh. he's the president of the united states. you know, he -- i can't even keep up with him.

>> the president is on his way back here from those remarks in philadelphia. he told us this morning, he told the press this morning if we want to know more about the pending trip to saudi arabia we need to consult the press release about it. so, i did, and they list global energy security which we believe to mean gas prices, low on the list, beneath a truce in yemen, threats from iran and climate initiatives, john. >> john: if he's carrying a tin cup with him when he goes over there, we'll know it's more about oil than anything else. peter, thank you. a lot more coming up on this as well this afternoon, sandra. >> sandra: really want to talk to our panel coming up, and scott peters as well, a lot of pressure on republicans to define their strategy as well as we get nearer and nearer to the midterm elections and the chances get better and gets for the republican party. what are they going to do about it. so, we'll talk to the panel

coming up. >> john: you can vote against somebody or for somebody, but in order to vote for them, you need a plan. >> sandra: it is primary day in four states, polls are open in nevada where republicans believe their luck will turn in their bid to retake a senate seat. a trump-backed candidate is running in a tight race against a retired army captain. the winner of the gop primary will take on kathryn cortez mastro in the midterm elections. all the primary action coming up, we begin with aishah hasnie live in reno at this hour. >> hi there, sandra and john. good afternoon to you. all of this, by the way, happening on former president donald trump's birthday, and as he mentioned a few days ago, he would like nothing more for his

birthday than for nevada voters to choose his pick for u.s. senate and that, of course, is former a.g., we are expecting any moment here at the polling location to come arrive with his family and cast his ballot as he tries to clinch the gop nomination for u.s. senate ahead of this midterm. i've been talking to voters in the meantime across the state, across nevada, who are really struggling, some of them are telling me they are working two jobs, pinching pennies, just to buy gas. >> i actually work for gas. i work for gas, i work for food. and i don't really have that much left over. >> i want some of that common sense, i want somebody that's going to lead us going forward, i want somebody that's not going to be filled with conspiracy theories. >> washington is, in my opinion,

a political tool that belongs to only the elite. it has nothing to do with the rest of the country, let alone our state. >> so you can really hear frustration in those voices. now, adam laxalt went into election day with a strong lead, and going against retired army captain sam brown, running as an outsiders, he's been inching toward the lead but falling behind. winner takes on the incumbent senator, who some analysts have described as quite possibly the most vulnerable democrat in the senate. >> we have the number two highest gas prices in america, you had the culinary union knocking doors today and hispanic democrat voters were saying that the list was so long

of things that were going wrong with america there's no way they were going to vote for democrats this cycle. so, it's going to be a tsunami here. >> again, the polls are open here in the state of nevada and if i can walk over this way, adam has just arrived to his polling location and if we pan over this way we can see him arriving with his family. his wife jamie and three kids. and we are going to see if we can maybe grab him for a quick second and get a question. hi, sir. if we could just ask you, how are you feeling today on election day. it's been a long road to this day. how is it going, how are you feeling? >> looking forward to a big day today and the most important race in the country. >> thank you, sir. a lot of nevada -->> sandra: great job grabbing him on the

fly there. seems we have lost aishah. >> john: put another quarter in the microphone. primaries in four states today, in maine, south carolina, nevada, and test of the sway donald trump holds against incumbents, he has put cross hairs on nancy mace and congressman tom rice. he considers them both to be disloyal, rice voted for impeachment, mace did not support his claims in the 2020 election. can he take them out, do you think? >> well, i think you know, tom rice's future looks pretty bleak if you look at polling so far. nancy mace looks a lot better position to win. but what's so great about this particular race, we have seen in the past, saw it in georgia, even the most enthusiastic trump

supporters are voting on the trump issue and not necessarily voting on either the past or the process about election stuff, not that that stuff is not important, it's vitally important but they are voting on the things that brought people to trump on the first place in 2016, those issues. what's so interesting about south carolina race is you have two people who have run afoul of trump, one who is the first person, first republican to have voted for impeachment to face a primary assault. >> john: let's put that up so the folks know, number four, tom rice and he's going up against the trump-backed candidate, russell frye. >> and things are not looking good for him, he's been in congress quite some time. his opponents have said he's sort of lost touch with voters, which may have been partly why he voted for impeachment in the first place. but what's kind of interesting here, it shows you sort of where

within the realm of people who have crossed trump, how you can survive and how you can't. nancy mace -- >> john: the first congressional district of south carolina, call four number three, going up against a trump-backed candidate. >> and she was critical of trump on january 6th, she's more closely to trump and the trump issues. >> john: he's still calling her disloyal. >> absolutely, and pulling out the stops to get rid of here and has done what only trump does in these primaries, but polling shows her with somewhat of a lead, but certainly not an insurmountable lead. >> john: this is call number five, lombardo, who trump is backing in the gubernatorial race.

what are his chances. >> it's a state that republicans have had a very hard time with over the past 2, 1 or 2 decades, democrats have managed to eat deeply into that, formerly red state. but i think republicans feel very confident this is not only a place they can pick up the top spot with the governor's race but also their big pick-off for the senate and potentially three democrat incumbent house seats, track with what a lot of people think nationally in terms of what democrats could be up against in the house this november. >> john: and the final race in the silver state, this is adam laxalt, the attorney general. president trump is backing him, looked like he had a whole head of steam, but captain sam brown has come on strong. he suffered horrible burns in an ied incident deployed overseas.

is this race becoming a toss-up? >> i don't think that it's becoming a toss-up, but sam brown is running a remarkable campaign. his biography is amazing and obviously it's giving a lot of people second thoughts. but adam -- if adam -- polling suggests adam laxalt should do very well. >> john: all the in roads the democrats have made over the years, if it flips back red this november. >> i think it's a function the republican party is a different republican party than five years ago. >> john: people are ticked off at the democrats. you heard the one guy. >> the question will be for republicans, do they, if they are able to pick this off in an election year where democrats are on the ropes, will they be able to maintain that control by shaping their issues more and i would say more in line with the trump agenda than the old main

street chamber of commerce republican. >> john: all about are you better off now than two years ago. great to see you, charlie. >> sandra: meanwhile, president biden's department of education now looking to facilitate "strong and effective relationships between schools and families" with the launch of a new council today. representatives from national organizations will work with the education department to identify constructive ways, we are told, to help parents and families engage at the local level. this move, of course, comes after months of angry parents sounding off at school board meetings over a lack of respect for rights with curriculum for their children. questions over how it will be handled, if all sides will be heard, goes back not just months, but years, john, after parents during covid and virtual learning were looking over their kids' shoulders, a firsthand look how the teachers were

♪♪♪ >> john: rock legend ozzy osbourne undergoing back surgery yesterday which his wife sharon said would determine the rest of his life. after a lengthy career touring the world as leader of black sabbath and solo career. the latest from new york. but first, jeff paul in los angeles. so what are we learning about ozzy's surgery? >> yeah, john, music fans are world their fingers crossed and hoping the surgery is a success. we have reached out to representatives for ozzy and his

family today but so far have not heard back yet regarding how everything is going. but this is from just yesterday. that's ozzy's daughter in the picture on the left, kelly, and his wife sharon on the right as they entered the hospital. we don't know exactly the specific procedure he is undergoing but sharon said it's a difficult surgery, calling it a major operation that will impact the calling of his life moving forward. beyond decades of being a touring musician at near nonstop pace, in 2003, ozzy crashed an a.t.v. on his property in the u.k. he was operated on for a broken collarbone and eight fractured ribs that were pinching blood vessels, and damaged his vertebrae in his neck at the time. and reinjured himself in 2019 when he fell in the shower, that required more surgery. he also has parkinson's disease. now on monday morning ozzy tweeted out a link to one of his

songs from the 2010 album, for the song titled "i love you all," many fans responded with well wishes to that post. certainly all of us are pulling for this rock legend thinking of his family right now, john. >> john: we do wish him well and a swift recovery. sandra. >> sandra: dr. marc siegel right now, thank you and welcome back. good to see you. >> hi, sandra. >> sandra: waiting an official update from his doctors, 73 years old, suffers from parkinson's disease, multiple falls, 2019 most recently, but back to 2003 where he rolled the a.t.v. on his property in london, that was really what was the beginning of the end for a lot of his problems. >> that's where it all starts. when he crashed the a.t.v. and had all the fractures and a fracture in the vertebral column up in the neck. then in 2019 he fell again and

major problems with the vertebra and led to a major surgery in the cervical spine. what i can tell from reports, he had a plate put in, probably a steel and chromium plate, and screws to keep the plate in place. what seems to have happened now, some of those screws may have gone out of alignment, so they are going to replace them or fix them. what often happens in surgery like this, like he had in 2019, especially if you have parkinson's disease, the bones don't heal as well and alignment problems. it's very hard to keep the spine aligned after surgery if you also have parkinson's disease, you get something called kyphosis. i have a feeling they are revising the screws and maybe the plate. >> sandra: reassignment. beginning of the end of his problems, i meant the beginning of his problems. this is "good morning america"

flashback when he described the fall in 2003. >> when i had the fall, it was pitch black, i went to the bathroom, i fell and i just fell and landed, slam on the floor and i remember lying there thinking well, you've done it now, really calm. and sharon getting the ambulance after that, it was all downhill. >> sandra: so clearly he was describing the fall there in 2019 when he fell on the bathroom floor and jokingly says well you've done it now, he knew he was already suffering from so many problems from the a.t.v. fall over a decade earlier. >> and you made that point. once he had the a.t.v. fall, he cracked the vertebra and because of the parkinson's he announced at the same time in 2003, it probably never healed properly and then in 2019 he has the massive fall and makes it a lot

worse, leading to the major surgery. that major surgery is now coming partly undone. my opinion, leading to the need to revise it. >> sandra: and you see the pictures of wife and daughter carrying luggage going to the hospital. his daughter is expecting her first child and his son is, and his wife are pregnant with their second child so they have grandchildren on the way, a picture of them heading into the hospital. >> you know he lived fast and he lived hard. he did not take any precautions. biting off the head of a bat. >> and he acknowledges that, acknowledges that. one final question when we saw the headline on kid getting sick because of the shutdowns down to the pandemic, they were not exposed to a lot of germs, they are not getting sick and now when they get sick they get sick sometimes 2 and 3 times back-to-back. this is the washington post, covid making flu and other common viruses acting in

unfamiliar ways. >> i agree with that, and talked about it with your children. kids took the masks off, and now viruses are coming in. and probably the top in the world, kids are germ factories, they were not exposed, they exchange viruses, it gives them immune protection against common viruses. r.s.v., wrong season, flu in may and june, don't usually see it. like the hepatitis, all because they are exposed now and don't have the immune protection because of pandemic shutdowns. >> sandra: another lesson from the pandemic, six feet apart, wearing a mask, and then the immune system to not building up immunity. >> giving you an honorary degree. >> john: like i tell my kids, a little dirt is good for you.

the scene. nice shopping mall, what's going on there, jonathan? >> yeah, a very upscale community, alpharetta, georgia, about 26 miles to the north of atlanta. police were called there after receiving reports that there was an armed man who was threatening people inside that home goods store. officers evacuated the building and nearby businesses to conduct a search. they say no shots were fired at any time and no injuries are reported. police say a swat team has made contact with the suspect who is now barricaded inside the store. police negotiators are on the scene, attempting to create a dialogue to give up peacefully. believe to be a disgruntled employee who came in brandishing a weapon, according to an interview. authorities have not confirmed this but at this point police say there is no danger to the

public, that man is barricaded alone, armed inside that store, and again, authorities trying to negotiate the conditions for him to give himself up peacefully, john. >> been inside that store many times, one of my favorite places to shop. jonathan, thank you. back to us with an update. >> sandra: we'll continue to monitor that. plus, fox news on the scene with exclusive new video as officers catch hundreds of migrants overnight in the rio grande valley, staggering 20,000 encounters reported in the sector over just the last two weeks. more than 3,000 this past weekend alone. bill of course is on it for us, live in la joya texas. >> bill: since last night alone, we have seen several hundred illegal crossings in a couple

different spots, we'll show you what we are taking about. this was early this morning, the dark of night in roma, texas, about 40 minutes from where we are. a single massive group over 250 migrants who crossed illegally. and there were 138 unaccompanied children and minors, no parents, no guardians whatsoever. since october, they have had over 85,000 of these unaccompanied children and minors here at the southern border. enough to fill the entire capacity of the dallas cowboys football stadium. and last evening we came across this group of migrants turning themselves in, a group of about 70, mostly family units as well as more unaccompanied minors. as you mentioned, d.h.s. source telling us in the last two weeks alone, there have been more than

20,000 illegal crossings. huge strain on border patrol resources. the union president says the biden administration catch and release policies are a magnet for the migrants. take a listen. >> when we enforce a consequence for violating the laws people stop coming. the biden administration has gutted all enforcement and when you gut enforcement, people continue to come. >> and about five minutes away from where i'm standing, a group of a dozen runners arrested by border patrol in the middle of a residential neighborhood, they did not want to be caught and sneak through the neighborhood, they were caught and arrested by border patrol. and the del rio sector, a busy weekend. border patrol reporting over the weekend they had more than 3,300 illegal crossings, almost 900 known got-aways, and this is bizarre. they arrest add sex offender

from el salvador sentenced to 20 years for forceful penetration of an inanimate object, no further details on that one. >> sandra: wow, what you are seeing in a matter of a couple days, bill, thank you. john. >> john: russian forces gaining ground in eastern ukraine, officials now warning they are in dire need of more weapons as concern grows that russia will be able to one day resume its march toward kyiv. let's bring in our retired four star general jack keane, and put up the latest map of the eastern southern region, you can see the russians are slowly grinding away and increasing their presence there in the east. and the question is, jack, how much longer before they finally get control of that region and then you could never get them

out of there. >> likely take all summer before they take the entire donbas region. the russians have made some progress, no doubt about it. attacking on a single axis, the key thing that made the difference is the use of artillery. they are just pounding the ukrainians and ukrainians at some point to save their people are giving up territory, not to take excessive casualties. the russians still are absolutely incompetent with their ground forces, so it's the artillery that has made the difference here. and so the audience understands, they outnumber significantly, as much as 10-1, and outrange them. so the weapons that zelenskyy has been screaming for for months are absolutely vital.

he wants mid range artillery, and we have given him some of that, but needs hundreds more. and he's transitioning from russian artillery, which he has, but running out of ambition and we don't have that kind of ambition, nor do most of the european countries, and transitioning no nato weapons with nato ammunition, and give him also long range multiple rocket launchers, sophisticated and decisive, zelenskyy is losing some territory but the russians are reaching a culminating point in terms of casualties. what zelenskyy wants do, and i agree with this for his military, he wants to conduct counter attacks and counter offensives to take territory back as the russians, despite

having made these gains, are still very vulnerable. but he can't do it without the artillery. >> john: the russians have spent weeks trying to get a town and do not have it yet. but if they do get in there, and western attention seemingly turning away from the war in ukraine, i mean, it's really fallen off the front pages here, still the resolve to back ukraine to the point they could stop putin and maybe turn him back? >> yeah, that remains to be seen. here is what some of the problems are. obviously the international media is not there to the degree it was. we obviously cover it less ourselves here. the point is, you can see the breaking in the ranks in the europeans. you've got the u.k., baltics and poland all in on zelenskyy's map, drive the russians out of the territory.

french and germans are not there. they want a ceasefire and negotiations and end it as soon as possible. that's at significant expense to the ukrainians. any kind of stalemate like that favors the russians rather dramatically and the united states probably a bit of both of that, to be frank about it. >> john: and putin has not given up the overall goal of taking over the entire country. >> he has not given up. the problem with putin, he's made up his mind, he's taking ukraine, he knows it's not going to be done in weeks, if it takes months, if it takes him a number of years, that's where he is. he's in it until the end. and the only way you get putin to stop this, you have to force him to stop. that's it. no amount of negotiations is going to end the path that he's on. >> john: jack, great analysis. >> good seeing you, too. >> sandra: microsoft executive

mysteriously shot dead in front of his 2-year-old daughter in florida. his ex-wife is lawyering up. florida-based criminal defense attorney tells us why she may be doing just that. >> john: the supreme court set to rule on the case of a former football coach dismissed from his job for praying on the field after games, and "sports illustrated" under fire, what it said about america if the high court rules in that coach's favor. >> i've been waiting every day. maybe tomorrow, maybe monday, keep your fingers crossed and heaven forbid if you said a prayer. need cash, call newday usa. i'm tatiana, here to say you can get an average of $60,000 with the newday 100 cash out loan. that's at least 25% more cash than you get at a bank. it lowers your payments by an average of $600 a month, too. with today's soaring home values, the time to turn your equity into cash is right now.

would be "erosion in democracy." that headline, dan, may be a little over the top? >> it turned a lot of heads and "sports illustrated" took a lot of heat yesterday after their tweet which was meant to promote a long article on the controversy. it read scotus will soon rule on the case of a public school football coach who wants to pray on field after games, greg bishop, on kennedy, the machine backing him and expected result a win for kennedy and erosion of the bedrock of democracy. reminder that "sports illustrated" is a far left propaganda outfit that occasionally covers sports. they later pulled the initial tweet and replaced it with one saying a kennedy win would be erosion of the separation of church and state. joe kennedy had been coaching

and praying after games in washington for years, sometimes opposing players and coaches would join him, some of his players got to mid field, he was fired for violating policy. kennedy sued to get his job back but lost in the washington state courts and the ninth circuit court of appeals that it had a coerce effect, but he said he never -- he says he should be able to pray wherever and whenever he wants. >> the entire controversy is over one thing, whether or not he can pray by himself at the 50 yard line, that should not be threatening to democracy whatsoever. >> this has been a seven-year legal battle. supreme court heard the case in april and based on questions by

the justices and the conservative majority, most observers are predicting a win for kennedy. the school district never found he coerced any of the players but did it over the potential some kids would feel pressured to play for playing time. john. >> john: dan springer, the latest from seattle. we will keep watching that case as it makes its way through the supreme court. interesting arguments on the part of the coach, way over the top headline from "sports illustrated." >> sandra: and we spoke to the coach on this program, we will play some of that next hour, we look forward to that. >> john: update to the story jonathan was reporting for us from atlanta. we learned that about 15, 20 minutes ago this man with a gun who had barricaded himself inside the home goods store there on the right-hand side of

it increases demand. is this the right move at a time of sky high prices to then sort of artificially lower prices so people keep pumping as much gas and run prices higher? >> i agree with you, can you believe it? we need to fund infrastructure. some of the reasons -- there's a lot of reasons why gas prices are up right now, much is related to the pandemic and opec and we do consume a lot of oil in this country but it's the price of crude oil, that is why these rates are so high right now. reducing one tax, yeah, it will maybe help people out in the short-term, but yes, i do brief more people are hitting the roads, which are a mess right now. >> sandra: i heard you blame the pandemic. >> i heard that, too. >> sandra: did you blame vladimir putin? >> opec, it's real, it's real. we are -- we have to be energy independent. we are relying on foreign oil, but, but with that being said, we have to also reduce our

demand. >> sandra: don't let members of your party hear that. >> i agree with what sandra is saying, reducing the tax does not solve the problem. the problem is let's take the keystone xl pipeline, this extension. it was 50% complete under trump. it would have been done by the end of the year. that would have brought in more fossil fuel than we pull in from russia every year. when you start cancelling all those projects that have taken ten years to come online, the number one reason why we have supply disruptions. our president to go to venezuela, a rogue regime or sawed arab, dependent on them in the 1970s, to beg them to drill more product when he's cancelling these oil and gas projects here is not gonna make good politics, hurting the american people. >> those pipelines. we produce more oil than any

other country. we have rely on our oil the most. >> that's coming from canada. >> some from canada, yes, but most is coming from the united states. >> we don't fear canada, it's ok to pull product from canada. >> we need to reduce our consumption. invest in solar. that will help us. >> sandra: the americans suffering from sky high prices, that is tough to hear. and president biden seems to blame all those things, including republicans for why prices are so high, listen. >> the problem is, republicans in congress are doing everything they can to stop my plans to bring down costs on ordinary families. that's why my plan is not finished and why the results aren't finished either. >> sandra: matt, is that -- >> i am a partisan, take it with a grain of salt, but his only plan to print and spend money at

the federal government. it can work at tiements, i don't like it, but does not work when you have hyper inflation. all that's going to do is higher and higher. >> sandra: what's the republican plan? things are looking good for your party in november, how do republicans plan to bring prices down? >> very clear, without the white house it's hard to reverse the biden policies, even a republican congress, unless we have a super majority in the senate, we are not going to be able to reverse those policies. one bill will pass each of those years, a budget bill, and republicans better get unified and focused, closing border, increasing production of domestic oil and gas, we have to pick what they are and fight like hell for them. biden can use his phone and pen to wreak havoc on the economy. >> sandra: i was going to cut the sound bite, i don't hear a clear plan. >> on energy prices?

>> sandra: to bring down inflation. it's a huge problem. >> fair enough. stop all the spending, we have to stop it, sandra. creating the hyper inflation. 1.2 trillion ridiculous extra spending on top of covid relief. >> needed relief -- >> made things painful. >> sandra: talking about increasing spending with record high inflation. >> every modern democracy protects citizens when we experience crisis. the amount of spending is on c.e.o.s, creating this inflation. they are making more money. >> sandra: what c.e.o.s? >> multiple companies. multiple companies, whether it comes to kleenex -- >> sandra: we are out of time. this debate shall continue. >> it will.

>> unfortunately. >> sandra: companies and big business and profits not exactly the way we should go. >> john: this debate is not going anywhere. new at 2:00, the white house press secretary laughing off a question of the president's physical and mental -- if you want to turn your increased home equity into cash, act now! newday's veterans are taking out up to $60,000 or more and lowering their monthly payments over $600 a month. in these times of rising prices, there's no better feeling than having cash in the bank.

global boost. >> sandra: we'll also speak about the president's trip to saudi arabia announced today, and willing to meet with the murderous leader. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into a second hour. great to see you, john. >> john: good to be with you. senator cotton getting ready, will join us just ahead. we begin at 2:00 with a big boom, nobody seems to feel it. fox news alert. >> sandra: that boom would be the american economy, supposedly, in case you did not notice. that's how the biden administration is touting the president's historic economic boom. the average person in the country is not feeling that, he is l when they fill up the gas tank. so, or go food shopping or check in that retirement accounts. white house says it's no sweat for the american people, thanks to biden.

>> the way that we see this, the american people are well positioned to face these challenges because of the economic historic gains that we have made under this president. >> what is the president's message to somebody who might want to retire but their 401(k) is getting wiped out? >> so, we know that higher prices are having a real effect on people's lives but we are coming out of the strongest job market in american history and that matters, and that a lot of that is thanks to the american rescue plan which and it led to this economic, historic economic boom we are seeing with jobs. >> and also leads to historic inflation. >> no, that is not -- that is not how we are seeing the american rescue plan. >> john: but could the boom turn to bust, as a new report from the federal reserve shows americans are turning to their credit cards as prices skyrocketed. balances jumping 20% in april,

to more than $1 trillion. voters taking their economic concerns to the polls in many states today. >> i watch the stock market, watching that, it's plummeting. so, take one day at a time. >> i have really noticed my grocery bills have gone up about 30%, and it does -- i can manage, but it is a concern, a major one. >> gas is almost $7 a gallon, it shouldn't be like that. really shouldn't. >> i work for gas, i work for food. and i don't really have that much left over. >> sandra: a story far too common at this time. full coverage right now from our team of fox news and fox business correspondents. >> john: a gas station in hartsdale, new york. >> 5.09, my friend, above the national average, we will get to that. start with the credit card balances.

we are seeing people who are putting more and more on their credit card as the stimulus dollars dry up and of course now inflation pushes prices to levels we have not seen in 40 years. credit card debt now at $841 billion, that's a 20% month to month increase and overall revolving debt at 1.1 trillion, a new all-time high. the previous high, 1 trillion, pre-pandemic. now, as you mentioned gas prices higher, today's overnight average, the 18th day of new all time highs at 5.01, and let me tell you, this is really causing people some angst. this is coming as wall street is forecasting higher oil prices, $150 a barrel oil prices, 20% increase over current levels. let's dig into those prices that we got this morning. today's regular unleaded 5.01, premium 5.69, and diesel, the

fuel that fuels everything, trucks and trains, etc., 5.77. you may be asking when is all of this going to end? opec today, one of the sources saying they are reducing their expectation for growth in demand. next year, 2%. this year, 3.3%. lower demand, maybe lower prices, hope for the best. back to you. >> john: i'll see it when i believe it. thank you. >> sandra: always optimistic, thanks to her for that. and if you are in the market for a car, which many of you are, buckle up. lydia hu has the story live in new jersey. what are you seeing, lydia? >> hey there, sandra. you have heard about the bidding wars for houses, how about a bidding war for a new suv. that's what we are seeing here at this car dealership in new jersey because inventory is so

tight. >> $50,000 over list price. people are bidding on cards, they want to get their hands on them, there's no inventory. >> that's $50,000 over list price the owner says. the dealership only has about a week supply of new cars on hand. j.d. power says most dealerships have a little more than a month supply but usually you look for a 90-day supply and that tight inventory is driving prices across the country. up more than 12% in the last year. more than $47,000. a used car price up more than 16% in the last year, hitting more than $28,000. and if you are in the market for a new car at this time or the rest of the year, flexibility is really key. if you have your heart set on a particular make or model, all the bells and whistles, the owner of this dealership says you could be waiting up to a

year to get it. sandra. >> sandra: you ask anybody who has been out for a new car lately, it's an extremely tight market for sure. thank you. >> john: price of gas i'm shopping for bicycles. you probably heard how incredibly difficult it is to buy a home. try renting one. madison has more on this emerging story. >> hi, john. you know, we have seen a lot of families struggle to obtain that american dream of owning a home and now as a result it is pushing the rental market into unaffordable levels. take a look at what red fin is saying, median price of rent in this country is $2,000 a month. that is the highest it has ever been according to calculations, and forcing people out of certain markets. it's also forcing some people out of the home that they currently rent. take a listen. >> for the same money they are not going to be able to get the same apartment or the same home.

they may have to go to an area of the country that's more affordable, and the outskirts of the city, where homes are more affordable. inventory is very tight no matter where you are. so it's -- it is incredibly hard for anybody looking for a place to live. >> 15% increase in rent is really unmanageable for most people and in some cities that increase is so much worse. austin, texas, in one year, rates have gone up nearly 50%. it comes down to a shortage of available homes, driving people to continue to rent, even those that want to buy cannot get their hands on one. and seeing an exodus of people from cities with expensive housing markets to cheaper areas thanks to remote work has spread the problem across the country. while the federal reserve bank of new york believes house buying should come down thanks to factors like mortgage rates

going up, and overall slowing down, the unfortunate news is that we are not expecting a slowdown of this rent problem. it should persist for some time, because it really gets down to that inventory and just a lack of it on the market and with many people continuing to rent, we don't know when that problem is going to alleviate. john. >> john: just one more thing to add to the inflation pile. madison, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: price hikes and product shortages may dominate your trips to the grocery store, don't forget about shrinkflation. smaller packaging, keep the price the same but absorb some inflation, right? >> that's right, sandra. you probably remember the movie "honey i shrunk the kids," it's honey flavored cereal and countless other products doing

the shrinking. it means paying the same price but getting less. your dollar does not go as far but you may not have noticed. think of it as a stealth price hike. for example, in 2021, $4 bought a 14.5 ounce box of honey bunches of oats, and now just 12-ounces. and detergent, to 67.5. founder of consumer world says the practice is not new. >> downsizing is going on for decades. i noticed it when i was a kid in my mounds candy bar was no longer two ounces. the>> and shrinkflation might be deceptive but it's not illegal as long as the product is labelled. experts say likely to see a great deal more of it until

inflation starts to reserve. >> sandra: honey bunches of oats, mounds chocolate bars, we are all hungry. david lee miller, just have to pay more for it, though. >> john: just don't touch my crisp. 401(k) is taking a beating, not only are traditional stocks taking a beating. crypto is also crashing. explain this to me. >> it's one of the top stimulus trades of faster years and fast unwinding. cryptocurrency like bitcoin have gone mainstream and attracted celebrity influencers like elon musk and aston kutcher, depressing bitcoin and other prices. also been a few major blow-ups, a bank run on a crypto lender, and $40 billion wipeout in a specific currency token and that means investors are looking for

the exists. as a result, jobs are fading in the sector. this morning the c.e.o. of the largest cryptoexchange in the u.s. coin base says they are cutting 18% of their workforce, roughly 1,000 jobs, and also predicting a future upcoming recession. coin base joins other cryptocurrency companies laying off workers, including some of those that bought the expensive super bowl ads this year, less than $2 billion, and a third of what the market is worth. a few months ago, bitcoin, above $65,000 in november. >> john: and you are a good fan of a coffee crisp once in a while, right? >> yeah, i love coffee crisp. >> john: susan and i both hail from canada, it's the candy bar to have. >> sandra: democratic congressman scott peters.

thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me, making me hungry. >> sandra: we are going to feel it when we go to the grocery store. president biden making a lot of headlines for talking about what he says is extraordinary progress from his economic plan. how do you -- how do you rationalize that, when we see the bills go up and the savings going down. >> well, two things can be true. i have to credit president biden with taking strong action to avoid even worst disaster. growth has been historically high, unemployment is very low, if you want a job you can work and i think we have to acknowledge that people are feeling these price hikes at the pump and the grocery store and we have to do something about it. the new democratic coalition formed an inflation working group and came up with real suggestions. >> you referenced the things president biden did for the

economy that kept it from being even worse. what was that? >> distributed a lot of vaccines out to people, we kept businesses open through the pandemic through p.p.p. loans, small business loans, able to provide rent assistance to keep people in their homes. those kinds of dislocations, we understood we were going to be borrowing money to do that. the economists told us that was the appropriate thing to do, to go too big than too small and got through it. and now we have to deal with some of the fallout from not just the american rescue plan but the pandemic itself and the supply shortages that have occurred and on op of that, a war in ukraine that putin is waging. so, a lot of challenges leading to this inflation. >> sandra: you can understand for anybody listening how it could sound out of touch. we have been in this inflation crisis for quite some time and as you know, this is causing a

lot of political concern for the democratic party heading into the midterm elections. inflation is top of the mind of the american people, it is the biggest concern for the american family right now that is seeing their savings go down, their bills are going up, anybody who has invested in the stock market, it's now lower than when president biden took office. so it's tough for people to hear an administration touting the successes perhaps even painting a rosy picture of the american economy when so many people are suffering, sir. >> i don't disagree that people are suffering, and what people are tired of is people claiming credit and laying blame and not really doing anything about it. what we have come up with is a set of actions we could take to help address these issues, maybe not overnight, some overnight but some long-term, and that's our job in washington. i'll leave it to other folks to

lay blame. maybe that's for elections. but people are suffering. we ought to talk about what we are going to do about it, and say what are the answers. >> sandra: i did just that and had a republican on this program last hour and i did, i put it to him that republicans need a response. if they win back power in november they have to be able to act on bringing this inflation down that they have been pouncing on this administration for. here is matt from earlier. >> the first thing is you have to stop all of this spending, we have to stop it. that's creating the hyper inflation. 1.2 trillion ridiculous extra spending on top of trillions others for covid relief, it's the truth. >> covid relief -- >> it made things painful. >> sandra: he said stop the spending in a moment of record high inflation. that was his response because this is a president that is still tout more spending in what

might be a recession at this moment. >> i don't want to hear any more of these lies about wreckless spending. we are changing peoples lives. >> sandra: he's pushing for more spending in a time of inflationary crisis in this country, sir. >> well, the new democratic coalition created a plan to recommend to president biden and to congress what we should do. i don't want to wait 'til november to deal with this. right now we could look at things look tariffs, the trump administration, for instance, imposed a lot of tariffs that we could sus spen or get rid of on things like bicycles, washing machines, canned fruit. biden administration has already dealt with steel and aluminum tariffs, solar tariffs, i think that's good. we also need, we need to fix our supply chain, the senate and the house have passed bills that will help with computer chips. one of the things i heard before how difficult cars are to get. that's because the worldwide computer chip supply has been

constrained by covid. we need to resolve that bill and we need to take some of the actions that democrats -- >> sandra: it's an emergency moment, i'm out of time. >> we should talk about solutions, not blame. that's why in an emergency that's what you do. >> sandra: solutions would be great. we saw the president roll out the economic plan in the wall street journal last week and not a lot different, to be honest and people want to see change soon, not long-term. >> check out the new dem's website, we have answers. >> john: as gas prices set records, president biden has made it clear the left climate agenda gets priority over encouraging oil production here at home yet he is apparently willing to go overseas to meet with a foreign oil dealer, the saudi crown prince that he promised to make a pariah. >> sandra: as the nation marks flag day today, we will be

asking the senator about u.s. embassies not just flying old glory. many are getting ready to raise the flags of black lives matter, despite that activist group recent scandals. >> john: the same white house that says president biden is behind an economic boom also says president biden is in tip-top shape. but what does it say that they don't even have don lemon convinced? >> does the president have the stamina, physically and mentally to continue on even after 2024. >> you are asking me this question, my gosh, he's the president of the united states. ? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks!

>> sandra: black lives matter flying high on the backs of taxpayers. we'll see how that is sitting with senator tom cotton, he'll

join us moments away. but first, russia advancing in the eastern part of ukraine as officials warn vladimir putin's forces could take the entire region if they don't receive much needed weapons. general jack keane saying this last hour, it's all about the artillery. >> the key thing that's made the difference for them is their use of artillery. they are using it and just pounding the ukrainians, and the ukrainians at some point to save their people are giving up territory. they outnumber the ukrainians significantly with artillery in as much as 10-1, and also outrange them. so the weapons zelenskyy has been screaming for for months is absolutely vital. >> sandra: mike tobin from kyiv this hour. >> a town is on the verge of falling to the russians after

long bloody battles, and that would give russia control of the luhansk province in the east and goal of occupying the donbas. here in north central ukraine, people have survived russian occupation and tell the story. >> shows the stairs to the dirty cramped basement under the school where he and 300 villers were held by the russian army four weeks. i thought i would not survive, he says. the floor was packed. ivan spent day and night in this chair. he says that's how he slept for 27 days. buckets in a closet made the bathroom. children slept on shelves and painted on the walls. >> five kids, 22 adults. >> adults used the walls to keep record, names of those who lived here and eight who died. >> like prison inmates, march

4th, they were taken into the basement. march 31, ours came, meaning the ukrainian army liberated them. >> it happened where burned out russian vehicles and fox holes next to unexploded rockets, and one of his sons was shot in the back of the head, the other led off at gunpoint and never seen again. >> those to help us and they were our support. but they are no longer with us. >> ukrainian leaders are increasing their request for more weapons. they are outmanned and outgunned by the russians as this has evolved into an artillery war. the army would better supply, better accuracy comes out on top of that. the sandra, back to you. >> sandra: mike tobin live in kyiv, thank you very much, mike. john. >> john: $5 for a gallon of gas and more than that can make you do desperate things, apparently even meet with a brutal

dictator, white house announcing president biden will visit saudi arabia next month, a sharp reversal of biden's attitude of the kingdom on the campaign trail. more in that, bring in arkansas republican senator tom cotton. tin cup in hand going begging for oil. what do you think? >> john, first off he should not have called saudi arabia a p ariah, they have been an important partner in the middle east and promote energy security across the country. he never should have gotten america in the position we had to go to any nation for energy security, whether it's saudi arabia or norway or goodness sakes, venezuela, hat in hand begging. we have it in the power to secure our energy future but the

biden administration and the green new deal democrats have been strangling american energy the last year and a half. >> the press secretary was asked about this and said oh, no, this is not about oil. listen here. >> to view engagement with saudi arabia on energy security as asking for oil is simply wrong and misunderstanding of the complexity of that issue and our multi-facetted discussions with the saudis. >> sandra: as peter doocy was pointing out, mediated truce in yemen, and infrastructure, climate initiatives, human rights, ensuring global energy, like five down. but why do you go to saudi arabia if you are not looking for oil? >> yeah, and they act as if there is something wrong with that, whether it's saudi arabia or the united arab emirates or canada or norway or partner or ally of the united states brings down the price of oil globally if we have more. this is devastating family's budgets in arkansas, paying

almost $five a gallon. out west, $10 a gallon. having trouble making ends meet. the world supply of oil is essential to america's security and prosperity. president biden had to flip-flop on what he said on the campaign trail. >> john: and wondering if the white house is playing this down, every time they go to venezuela or talk to iran or saudi arabia, pumping more oil, critics say why don't you just improve the climate for oil production in the united states. >> that's probably part of it. we should not be in position to go to any country for our energy security. we are one of the world's largest exporters of energy and we have the capacity to do more of that. the biden campaign said, joe biden said they want to end production of fossil fuels, that is a pipe dream, a recipe for families that are poor and businesses going out of business and as you say, if they are talking to venezuela, or

venezuela or iran, saudi arabia, highlighting the war on american energy. >> john: secretary of state blinken has authorized embassies to fly the b.l.m. flag in honor of juneteenth, despite b.l.m. being discredited, and approval is down to 31%. this a product of ambassador who is the chief diversity and inclusion officer for the state department. >> i don't want why anyone would want to fly the b.l.m. flag. they are run by fraud and embezzlers, and our embassy should fly the american flag. we don't send our people abroad to represent their race or their sex or their affinity group, we send them to represent america and the stars and stripes stands

for america. >> john: last topic, and i don't mean to ambush with this but i'm going to. politico reporting tom cotton huddled with two dozen of his top donors at the hey adaps to describe the plan for potential 2024 white house campaign telling them the comeback bid by former president trump would not deter him from running. >> annual event, a lot of folks from arkansas and the country, friends and supporters of mine many years. great to see so many friends, a lot of good conversation what we are going to do to help republicans win the senate and the house later this year and what the future holds. >> john: you'll make that decision after the midterms? >> i'll take that election first and then see what happens after the midterms. >> john: covered your 2014 race, it was a lot of fun. maybe covering your presidential race in 2024. senator, good to see you. thanks for coming in. >> sandra: all right, so we'll

see where that goes. >> john: it sure wasn't a no. >> sandra: ok, thank you, john. good conversation with the senator. a new warning over air tags and how criminals are using them to track their victims. >> john: plus, an executive shot dead in front of his little girl and a move from his ex-wife that is now raising all sorts of questions. welcome to your world. your why. what drives you? what do you want to leave behind? that's your why. it's your purpose, and we will work with you every step of the way to achieve it.

eyebrows, even though as of now she, nor anyone else, has been named a suspect. the ex-wife of the murdered microsoft executive, or the executive, jared bridegan, is pictured here with his second wife kristen. shot and killed february 16th in jacksonville beach, florida, murdered in front of his terrified 2-year-old daughter in the car in the back seat. and shannon, the ex-wife who also remarried. friends have revealed a very nasty divorce, constantly fighting like who got to keep their house, who paid whom alimony and who got primary custody of the twins. bridegan accused him of spying on him, planting extra baby monitors in the house. police are asking for

information to help solve this crime, including locating this dark blue ford f-150 pick-up truck identified as a vehicle of interest. police believe the killer placed a tire in the road forcing bridegan to stop and get out and that is when he was shot to death right there outside in the street. i spoke with a jacksonville beach police department, and as of now, they are not even naming anyone a person of interest, much less a suspect. as of now, they are treating everyone as a suspect in the case to do justice for family and the reward is now $55,000 for anybody who can provide the one tip that can lead to an arrest. >> sandra: and sometimes that's all it takes. thank you very much. >> john: bring in mark eiglarsh,

criminal defense attorney. so jared bridegan was out with his twins and his 2-year-old daughter, he dropped off the twins, and then was driving to his place in st. augustine. there was a tire on a rim in the middle of the road, he stopped and got out, he was shot dead. what do you think is going on? >> well, without question we start with this was a premeditated act. if anybody has half a brain they see that somebody wanted him dead. then the next conclusion is ok, who wanted him dead. first and foremost, not saying she did anything, the police would have to start looking at the ex-wife. they had a vicious divorce and even after settlement there was ongoing, constant litigation between them over a myriad of issues. they fought about everything. it was child support, it was alimony, child custody, it was everything and that anger continued on even right up to

the 11th hour. her getting an attorney was necessary, whether she's innocent or not, because police for sure will be reaching out to her and targeting her for someone they want to speak to for sure. >> sandra: you make the case that because she hired this criminal defense attorney it makes her an obvious and immediate suspect but the ex-wife's attorney said the only purpose for doing that and retaining that criminal defense attorney was to protect the young twins from publicity. do you not buy that? >> let me make my point clear. what i'm saying is it immediately makes her a suspect in the eyes of law enforcement. they can call her whatever they want. it's so adorable the names they use, person of interest, it's like calling a beggar a roadside entrepreneur. we know what it is. she is definitely a suspect, whether they call her that or not. so, with that, having an attorney to make sure that they are looking out to her, to

ensure she's not sitting for multiple interviews, whether she's guilty or not, it could cause conflicts in her system which may make her look guilty if she's not. >> john: and marriage seemed to be one made in heaven at the beginning and then rapidly downhill. allegations, put up the picture, she's a fitness buff, allegations she had an affair with her personal trainer whom her husband had bought sessions with and then this idea of the baby monitors were placed in the home to monitor what jared was saying. he sent an email saying this is enough, i should have every damn right of my own property to not constantly be under recording, i want the flipping gates of hell released on her for this. when you talk about things going downhill, they really went

downhill. >> we call this motive on both sides, quite frankly, and her problems seemed to end immediately upon his demise. i'm a criminal defense lawyer, could have been hired on this case as well. we don't know she's done anything nefarious at all. that said, whether she has or hasn't, getting an attorney is essential under these circumstances. >> sandra: awful, awful story, shot dead in front of his toddler and they are looking for any clues, any tips, of course, you know, mark, any tip could help lead to the suspect. >> absolutely. right now they don't have much. generally these murders, especially if somebody was hired, are not committed in front of a bus load of nuns. so, nobody as of now seemed to have suggested they saw anything. >> john: somebody clearly had nefarious intent. seem where the trail goes. >> sandra: police warning more

criminals are using those apple air tags. we have been talking a lot about, unknowingly track their victims. but it turns out that's not illegal behavior, depending on where you live. alexis mcadams has more on that for us. >> apple air tag, what it looks like, 30 bucks, find out where you put your keys, wallet or purse. but now used to stalk and follow people home and that happened in ohio. this is heidi moon on the screen, the akron mom murdered by her ex-boyfriend back in january. her family tells me her ex-boyfriend used an apple air tag to follow her home, then killed her in her own driveway. >> stuffed down in the seat cushion of her car and shot her with her own weapon. he was a convicted felon and was not able to obtain or own any kind of weapons. >> not the only case the air tag has been used to help commit

crimes. earlier this month in indianapolis, 26-year- gaylon morris used the device to follow her cheating boyfriend to a local bar, so she showed up and found 26-year-old andre smith with another woman. she ran him over three times with her car and killed him. another example of a growing and dangerous trend. >> i think we hear more and more stories about how these devices are being used for bad rather than the good they were invented for. so i think we all have to be a little more cautious and curious about these things as we move forward. >> ohio is 1 of 3 states trying to make it illegal to use an air tag to track people without their knowledge. if it's passed, the law cannot bring the victims back, but heidi's family hopes it can help stop future tragedies. >> so many things are missed not having her here anymore. hate it to happen to anyone else. >> look for unfamiliar beeping and apple notifications, apple,

sandra, released some new data and new ways that it can alert you and your phone, i don't know if you have had that pop up, but sometimes if you have air pods or something like that, it lets you you know something could be travelling with you. >> sandra: and had no idea it was cramed in the seat cushion in the car. more and more stories involving the apple air tag like this. >> definitely. >> john: the same white house claiming an economic boom is laughing off concerns over the president's age. even though those concerns are coming from fellow democrats. that is coming up next. think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. here we go... remember, mom's a kayak denier, so please don't bring it up. bring what up, kayak? excuse me?

>> and they're trying to blame it on messaging. a lot of things that you can mess around with. you can take credit for the stock market, job gains, et cetera. right here, the american people, it's harder to follow. you can't pretend this is a historic economic boon when people are going to the store and fruit snacks are 70% higher, cereal higher, gasoline over $100 to fill a tank. baby formula is behind lock and key. unlike the stock mark or everything on the margin, all of america is feeling this pain and it's not a message that will sell. >> john: it's not just baby formula under lock and key now. toothpaste at your local store is under lock and key now as well. now questions are being raised

about biden's fitness for office and whether or not he should run again in 2024. these questions will being asked about democrats and left-leaning outlets that have championed biden and his policies. karine jean-pierre speaking with don lemon dutifully defending her boss when asked this question. >> does the president have the stamina to continue on even after 2024? >> you're asking me this question, don. oh, my gosh, he's the president of the united states. i can't keep up with him. >> john: she didn't directly answer the question whether or not he has the stamina to run for a second term. >> almost everybody in this country has experience are relatives and people they know and recognizing the effects of aging. you can see it, you know it, it's visible. these affects were visible in 2020 and they chose him anyways

because so much of the bench was further to his left that the king makers say we can't get our people to vote for this guy. we need more moderate. even if he's struggling and slowing down where he once was. now he has this and the white house has gone as far left as they wanted. they're flopping in the polls and at the same time dealing with cognitive decline. they're in a dangerous spot. i don't know why they're talking about it before the mid terps and the white house won't admit that he's running again. but it's clear they want to get rid of him. they're having buyer's remorse. the problem is who is on the bench to take over. >> the second he acknowledges that, he's a lame duck. thanks, chris. >> sandra: meanwhile breaking news in a fox news alert. a russian court has extended brittany greiner's detention for a second time. she will remain in custody

through at least july 2. >> john: she's been in custody since february. he was caught smuggling hash oil in to the country. brittany greiner shouldn't be a russia a single day longer. >> sandra: we'll keep watching that. one of the biggest outlets in sport slammed on the take for a supreme court case. "sports illustrated" tweeting about the high school football coach fired for praying on the field. calling the outcome and erosion of a bedrock of american democracy. let's bring in jimmy from fox news radio. we ripped him away to come on set with us here. react to that, jimmy? >> i'm going to throw the challenge flag at "sports illustrated" saying that prayer is eroding the bedrock of democracy. this is absurd on its face. this is one of the reasons that sports has alienated so many

fans. it's not why we come. we don't come for political positions. even if we agree with them, sports is supposed to be a place for escapism. if you're going to inject your self into national conversation, this is not the place to do it. you're talking about inflation, crime. somebody praying is -- when this team throws a hale mary, they really throw one. it's not supposed to be an issue. it doesn't sound like he's making the kids pray. that's the only place we'd have a violation here in terms of him forcing religion on people. he's doing that. >> he wanted an option to take a knee himself. we spoke to coach kennedy. here's a little bit of it. >> supporting and defending the constitution makes my hair stand up. just saying it today. i'm a fighter. always been a fighter. >> so he's always been a fighter. we'll continue to watch coach. meanwhile, i want to get to the

last topic. the seattle times headline. race must be considered in determining legality of police stops and seizures. this is a new supreme court ruling from washington state. the state lawmaker from there, the state senator, jeff wilson, a republican said this. the u.s. constitution declares that every individual is subject to the same laws as everyone else. doesn't extend rights to groups. there's a rising number of voices that do not believe in equality for every person under the law. so race must be considered in determining legality? >> this is absurd on its face. it's not a surprise because it's coming from washington. they're so liberal they want to defund the village people. crime is an issue, not black or white or right or wrong. one of the biggest problems is people supplying with police.

when you they they're policing along racial lines, you'll see less compliance. and this is a problem for people like us that care. when white people call the cops racist, black people pay. if you like at the crime rates, it spikes in the black community. we'll keep yelling racist in the white community but it's not help anybody. when i'm in voice of reason, we're in a bad spot. i tell them because i care. >> martha: you can hear more of jimmy on fox news radio. good to have you here. thanks very much. john? >> sandra: new developments. >> john: monkey pox about to get a new name. the world health organization making that announcement claiming that it incorrectly associates the virus with africa even though cases are rising around the world. so monkey pox, i don't know what

they're going to call it. they're getting rid of that name. what do you do for ebola, and zika? do you change everything? >> sandra: it's flag day. june 14th. good to be with you. >> john: good to be with you. >> sandra: thanks to jimmy. thanks for joining us. i'm sandra smith. >> john: "the story" with martha maccallum starts right now. >> martha: breaking now, this afternoon on "the story," president biden tries to get back to his roots today with a trip to pennsylvania amid slagging poll numbers. remember, biden was able to wrestle back the union vote in 2020 after trump made big head way with union workers in 2016. in fact, president trump had the most support among union workers since ronald reagan. so the president, current president
