10:00 am
>> lit me with your best shot. >> don't make me karaoke you. >> that's next. we are going to karaoke next. thank you to everyone for watching and listening along with us. here is "america reports." >> john: emily, thank you. an video going viral showing how serious the homelessless crisis is in san francisco. a man falling off their bus and making their way in squalor. >> and passing out on the sidewalk, joe gimaldi will be here to react. >> john: and many on the left demand the president move more forcibly to protect abortion rights nationwide. i'm john roberts in washington.
10:01 am
sandra, great to have you back. >> sandra: great to be back. far left protestors dismayed as what they view as an ineffective response to the ruling, saying they are out of step with the mainstream of the party. >> the president is urging the same protestors to fight after access to abortion bills. claims his hands are tied on further action unless the democrats can pick up more seat in the midterms. >> all of this as the far left offers bounties on the location of supreme court justices in an effort to harass them like we saw last week with justice brett kavanaugh, forced to leave a steakhouse in washington through a back door. >> john: the white house refusing to condemn them, saying it is part of democracy as long as it remains peaceful. >> sandra: rich, a lot of the pushback is coming from the
10:02 am
left. >> it is, sandra, good afternoon. look at what progressives are saying, they say more needs to come from the white house when it comes to abortion, when it comes to gun violence in this country, and there is also some pretty bad new polling for the white house, according to this "new york times" poll that came out this morning showing only 64% of democrats want the party to nominate another candidate for president in 2024, 94% of democrats younger than 30 say they prefer a different presidential nominee than president biden in two years. the president has repeatedly told reporters he plans on running for re-election if he's in good health in 2024. approval ratings have been negative since last autumn following the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan. only 13% say the country is on the right track, the lowest point in the poll since the financial crisis more than a decade ago. 77% say the united states is moving in the wrong direction. the president and senior members
10:03 am
of his administration contend republicans in congress are standing in the way. >> it's not about who is the best performer, this is not about performative, it's about who is going to go to work every day and get the job done and deliver for women. he doesn't have a silver bullet to self. these issues have to be solved by congress, or the supreme court and congress. >> the president held an event here at the south lawn of the white house to commemorate the bipartisan gun law, and manuel oliver who lost his son in parkland shouted the president has to do more than this. and calling on congress to pass legislation when it comes to high capacity magazines and safety and storage when it comes to guns. >> sandra: rich edson, continued
10:04 am
reaction to the protestors setting out to harass the supreme court justices including kavanaugh at the restaurant last week, jonathan turley will have a lot to say on that coming up. >> john: the shut down d.c. offer bounties, $50 for phoning in or tweeting out a credible spotting of the supreme court justice and 200 bucks if the justice is still there 30 minutes after the alert went out. it has to be crossing the line somewhere, i would think. >> sandra: we will ask jonathan. >> john: another alert, hearing audio from inside a new york city bodega moments before a deadly stabbing. >> mo, what's up with you? >> i don't want to [bleep] >> i don't do it. [bleep] why you -- >> john: a store worker charged with second-degree murder can be heard trying to diffuse the situation before he stabbed his accused attacker on the 1st of july, fueling calls for a new
10:05 am
york version that protects workers from prosecution. joe gamaldi joins us on this, but jonathan hunt is live in los angeles, we begin with david lee miller in new york city. david lee, how significant is the newest video what went down in the bodega? >> john, arguably this new video is very significant. it appears to show that there is growing support for the claim that the convenience store clerk acted in self-defense and should not be charged with murder. now, this controversy you might recall first erupted when a previous video appeared to show 35-year-old austin simon was the aggressor. it shows simon was upset about a dispute alba had with his girlfriend and then shoved the clerk and now the first time we see and hear what preceded the violent struggle. this portion of the recording is only a few seconds long but reveals alba, who called simon by the name papa, trying to
10:06 am
prevent a tense situation escalating, saying i don't want to problem papa. and growing pressure on alvin bragg to drop the charges, and groups representing small business ownser are speaking out. >> we saw the footage, the footage does not lie. and we are asking, we are asking the d.a. to please take into consideration this footage and make sure that he provides mr. alba the justice he deserves. >> unrelated incident underscores that violence in the city affects all age groups, investigators say a conflict between two teens on the streets of harlem saturday afternoon continued inside a nearby subway station. when police arrived, found 14-year-old ethan reyes yonkers
10:07 am
bleeding from the abdomen, and sunday morning police arrested a 15-year-old boy who they have not identified. they have charged him with the murder. police say that the two teenagers knew one another and they do not believe that this was a random act of murder. john. >> john: a lot going on there in the big apple. david lee miller with the wrap-up, thank you. >> sandra: west coast, two videos showing how bad the homelessness crisis is in california. jonathan hunt is live in los angeles and more on the videos that have gone completely viral. we have all had a chance to see them by now, jonathan. but what exactly do they show? >> well, sandra, the first was posted by olympic volleyball medallist kim glass, in downtown l.a. over the weekend and after leaving a lunch there says this happened. >> this homeless man ran up, he had something in his hand and
10:08 am
looked at me with some pretty hateful eyes and as i turned to go tell my friend i think something is like wrong with him, i think he's going to hit the car, before i knew it, a big metal bolt like pipe hit my [bleep] hit me right here, here. it happened so fast. >> and as you can clearly see, glass suffered injuries that included fractures around her right eye, and she had this message for anyone watching her instagram video. >> just be safe out there because keep your head in this little swivel, off your phone, i wasn't, but i was not ready for it and a lot of mentally ill people on these streets right now. >> the last official count of the number of homeless people in los angeles county was just over 66,000, that was pre-pandemic in
10:09 am
2020, and was a 13% increase over 2019. but it certainly seems those of us who live here the numbers have risen more quickly since the pandemic took home. los angeles home less services authority responsible for the count has delayed release of this year's numbers until around september, it's unclear why. >> my little partners out here -- sorry you have to see this [bleep]. >> homelessness is a major issue in san francisco where resident and recovering addict richie wynn posted this video of school children getting off a city bus following a camp field trip and walking past a large group of homeless people. he has posted several other videos of what he says are drug addicts on the streets of san francisco and called on authorities to do far more to
10:10 am
clean up the city street. the crisis of homelessness certainly an issue on the minds of voters in san francisco and here in l.a., sandra, electing a new mayor this year with homelessness by far the top issue for voters, according to recent polls. sandra. >> sandra: has been and will be, jonathan hunt on all of that. thank you. john. >> john: let's turn now to joe gamaldi, vice president of the national fraternal order of police. start with the video, the kids getting off the school bus after a field trip and having to walk past this homeless en campment, i guess you could call it. it's an open air shooting gallery than anything else. crime rampant in san francisco. city by the bay used to be one of the most beautiful cities and it has gone downhill. your thoughts and the video. >> as a police officer and as a father, it is completely
10:11 am
heartbreaking to watch that video. and i implore your viewers, don't look away. it's difficult to watch but that's the reality for our youth in urban communities. it's not a far off third world country, but pushing the revolving criminal door system, defunding the police and there is the result. they should be ashamed of what they have done because this is their fault. i mean, a reason poll in san francisco said 70% of people believe their quality of life is down. 69% don't feel safe to walk the streets. 88% believe the homelessness situation is getting worse and surprise, surprise, it has led to an exodus in san francisco to the tune of 60,000 people just in the last year alone. so, you know, i implore the american people, we are fighting for the soul of our country right now. you need to stand up with a loud voice and demand law and order, not kayous and anarchy, and tell politicians you are held
10:12 am
accountable if you don't enforce the laws as they are. they have already recalled chesa bodine, but put all politicians on notice we are not going to put up with the crap anymore. >> john: the story from new york on july 1st, a guy working at a bodega in manhattan was confronted by a customer trying to buy a bag of chips on her benefit card, it would not work, her boyfriend came in and started harassing alba. alba ended up stabbing and killing him, he's charged with second-degree murder. in your mind, joe, was this a case of self-defense? >> oh, you know, it absolutely was a case of self-defense. but this is the utopian new york city, he promised, sweetheart deals for rapists, murders, robbers, contributing to the 40%, and jose alba was attacked,
10:13 am
choked, he defends himself and now charged with murder. murder, but wait, it gets better. the girlfriend of the attacker actually stabbed jose alba and she's not even being charged right now. i mean, this is completely insane. but this is what d.a. promised people, to make sure he does not give a damn about you. it is very clear he wants to coddle criminals, and he's maliciously prosecuting a victim and sending a message it's the wild west in new york city until someone stops him. he's an embarrassment and should resign, and to every politician in new york, if you care about the people in your community you should be calling for his resignation, too. i'm looking at you, mayor adams. step up and be a leader. >> we are seeing the subtitles on the screen the moment in time when he tries, alba, to diffuse
10:14 am
the situation saying i don't want no trouble papa. what mayor adams says about this, he did comment. he said this is the same message i've been stating over and over again that hard working new yorkers and americans to be honest with you should not be attacked in their place of work. a line must be drawn when you are the primary aggressor, and what i saw on the video. i mean, not only not attacked at work, not attacked at all. seems adams is growing increasingly frustrated with the manhattan d.a. >> yeah, it seems that way, john. but not strong enough. this is a war on the streets, murder rates are through the roof in every urban community, including new york city, we need strong leadership, and that means voting people out that are not doing their job like alvin bragg, people are dying. fathers, daughters, sons, mothers, and we need to get a handle on this violent crime.
10:15 am
we are losing our urban communities. >> they don't have a recall like they do in california, maybe the governor will be able to do something. it does not appear she is interested in the least in stepping in in this. joe gamaldi, always good to see you. thank you. >> sandra: especially instances like that, thank goodness for video. >> john: can you imagine t it was the woman's word against alba's or somebody else's against his, now hard evidence that he tried to diffuse the situation, and this guy simon was not having any of it and kept on pressing the situation, attacked him and alba felt the need to defend himself. >> sandra: and the community, the neighborhoods around the bodegas, they all know the guys and amazing to see the community rise up and help him out. >> john: elon musk looking to scrap his $44 billion with
10:16 am
twitter and twitter says not so fast. legal brew next. >> sandra: following every twist and turn. all arrows point to a recession, better than expected jobs report, the biden administration is saying we could be "talking ourselves into a recession." money man charles payne will weigh in next. life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that is scientifically designed to help manage your blood sugar. live every moment. glucerna. what's the #1 retinol brand live every moment. used most by dermatologists? it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye! neutrogena® when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis persists... put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill.

10:21 am
investors pushing the stock sharply lower as elon musk calls off plans for a takeover. both sides gearing up for an expensive legal battle. kelly o'grady live in los angeles. does musk have a fighting chance of winning this thing, kelly? >> he may. it depends on which claim. billion dollar break-up fee, billions more in fines, maybe the 44 billion agreed to in the deal but he says he can terminate it because they do not supply key information and under stating the number of bots. meme he tweeted, he's pretty confident twitter will have to reveal damaging evidence in court. proving the social media withheld information. tech titan chose not to something before agreeing to the
10:22 am
deal, musk's lawyers says the company says sometimes they have ignored mr. musk's requested, sometimes rejected them or failed to comply by giving him incomplete information. twitter has lawyered up with merger heavy weights, but many think it's a ploy, the stock 40% below his offer. some believe twitter will break not wanting to reveal the bot information in court. >> i think that's correct. now twitter has to disclose in court whether or not they have all the bots he alleges. >> additionally, twitter is facing the taunting task, many are considering jumping ship. twitter is in a tough spot. >> john: i thought brian kilmeade put it well, twitter employees were jumping off
10:23 am
bridges when they heard he wanted to take it over, now they are trying to force him to buy it. no loss of irony there. >> sandra: the white house meanwhile taking a victory lap on the better than expected june jobs report. as the economy stares down a potential recession, the commerce chief is pushing back on all the r word fears. >> i don't see any reason to think we will have a serious recession. we have recovered all the jobs since the pandemic, people's household balance sheets are strong, companies are doing well. >> sandra: charles payne, i've watched that interview a couple times. trying to understand how she and the administration make the case this is some sort of robust strong economy that somehow people just aren't getting it. they are just not getting it because they are feeling it and it's showing up at the polls, they are not happy. >> it's insulting. back to the great jobs report,
10:24 am
right. so funny in a way, the media always helps, or tries to help out the white house, right. so, headlines, no recession, and job reports, cbc lost their minds, household survey, last year showed a loss of 350,000 jobs. 315,000 left the labor force, 166 black americans lost their jobs last month and a quarter million left the labor force. is that what we should be cheering? this would be a topic if there was a republican in office, if donald trump was in office right now, we would have people marching on the white house wondering why certain segments of the population were cut out of this and this to talk about this, what we have to be careful of, the nuance. now it's not a serious recession. before it was no recession. now it's not going to be a serious one. so now it's up for interpretation. and we know how they are going
10:25 am
to interpret it, you ingrate, look at all the money we printed up. >> sandra: and seems the administration is positioning itself to blame republicans should we enter recession. the president put this tweet out and it's getting a lot of attention. he says republicans are doing nothing but obstructing our efforts to crack down on gas price gouging, lower food prices, lower healthcare costs and hopefully soon lower your prescription drug costs. this is not right and why the election is going to be so darn important. so, this white house continues to make the case that everything that is going wrong today is republican's fault and that republicans are getting in the way of some grand plan that the white house has to bring down inflation. >> they continue to try to make the case, every poll shows you that. i saw a right track/wrong track poll, 81% say wrong track. in february of 2020, the commerce secretary talked about
10:26 am
jobs. we are not back to the jobs, net we are still down from the beginning of the pandemic. you control the white house, you control the senate, control the house, you know, this notion that republicans are still obstructing is a farce on its face. and the blame game. president biden, then candidate biden, he says this guy takes shots at everyone. i have not seen president biden stand up and admit any fault, afghanistan, or other things, he will not admit his policies are hurting us and i get back to the one thing i've always said. they are designed to hurt us. >> sandra: charles, finish off on that point with this headline. home buyers are cancelling deals at the highest rate since the start of the pandemic. so many of us have been watching this economy and saying well, there are certain sectors of the economy that have held out and the housing market has been booming for quite some time now:
10:27 am
but eventually interest rates have to go up to tame inflation and that means that housing affordable goes down and it's showing up. what we saw was the share of sale agreements on existing homes canceled in june was just under 15% of all homes that went under contract. people are getting nervous. >> people are getting very, very nervous and the same thing in the automobile industry. one dealer took back cars people bought with p.p.p. money. so housing affordability went off a cliff. mortgage rates have already gone up, right, because they have moved with bond yields, so mortgage rates have gone up, people are getting cold feet, and to your point, this was one of the last areas of the boom, but listen, this is also where the so-called wealth effect is centered. this is where the fed really wants to hurt us. it's so sad to say but the fed wants us, the reverse wealth effect, and average person
10:28 am
watching saying why? what did the average person in america do wrong? politicians spent the money, triggered inflation crisis, didn't have to go to work because they are getting paid more not to go to work, triggered a wage crisis. none of that is anybody watching the show's falls but have pay for it. >> sandra: for most americans, the single biggest purchase they make is their home. charles, good to have you here. see you at 2:00. >> john: new predictions on how the midterms will shake out and spells good news for republicans. plus, could we also see a return of the swing voter? how long pandemic school closures and the impact on kids, now pushing some parents to change their vote. >> sandra: border crossing by unaccompanied children surging. d.h.s. estimating that more than 400 kids are crossing over each and every day. how dangerous is this situation
10:29 am
getting? chad wolf will react, former acting d.h.s. secretary. but i haven' t even thrown yet. you threw good money away when you bought those glasses. next time, go to america's best - where two pairs and a free exam start at just $79.95. can't beat that. can't beat this, either. book an exam today at americasbest.com age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. vo: hi. we're zerowater. boost® high protein also and we believe everyone deserves the purest tasting water. that's why we strive for zero. you see, to some it means nothing. but to us, it means everything. here, take a look. this meter showing triple zeros means our five-stage filter did its job. and that virtually all dissolved solids, or tds, have been removed. and all that's left is the purest tasting water. let's compare. a two-stage brita filter stops here. but our five-stage filter doesn't quit. zero water. we strive for zero.

10:33 am
>> john: the department of homeland security estimating as many as 161,000 unaccompanied children will cross the u.s. border in 2022, sharply surpassing last year's total already a record high. let's bring in chad wolf, former d.h.s. secretary under president trump. 441 unaccompanied children on average will cross the u.s. border every day. let's see where we are this year compared to fiscal year 2021. october through may 21, 79,577 had crossed. fiscal year 2022, same time period, 100,336. the total last year, 112,000, and pointed out, maybe 161,000 this year, this has gone off the charts. >> i think it continues the trend in the biden administration, when it comes to
10:34 am
border security and immigration enforcement they are breaking numbers and records for the wrong reasons. you talk about the u.a.c., a crisis, they like to point back, the left likes to point back to 2018 or 2019, 50 or 80,000 unaccompanied children coming across the border. when you have upwards of 100,000 unaccompanied alien children, you have broken the system beyond repair and hundreds of thousands coming across the border they know what others know, if you get into the united states, whether you self-separate, which we have heard of, children and families self-separating, to send their child across, they stay here and h.h.s. facilities, and what's important, this administration, what they did from day one when they came into office is they exempted all children from title 42 authorities, and also relaxed the standards where sponsors picking up the individuals. so when they go to h.h.h. facilities, they get picked up by sponsors. relax the standards, vetting,
10:35 am
background checks of the sponsors. all of this is working hand-in-hand and encouraging more and more families or perhaps parents or adults to send their kids alone across the border. >> john: and what many forget, unless they come from countries with a contiguous border, they don't get sent back. they get shipped off to stay in the united states until the case is adjudicated. >> you have to discourage individuals, single adults or even children from making the very, very dangerous journey and trying to enter the country illegally. you not only see historic numbers of unaccompanied children spiking, but also single adults spiking, it all goes together. you have to bring some deterrent back to the border security system and there is none in
10:36 am
there. >> john: intrigued to see even the mainstream media looks like there is something happening. "washington post" titled across southern arizona, a full range of border woes for biden. border crossers are arriving from more countries and greater numbers than ever. u.s. customs and border protection on pace to make more than 2 million arrests during the 2022 fiscal year surpassing last year's record of 1.7 million, and people come from 190 countries. not just the northern triangle or mexico, some from india, republic of georgia, halfway around the world. >> it's absolutely bizarre. i would say welcome to the fight, i don't know where you have been the last 16 months, american people are seeing it unfold day after day and month after month, it's great they are reporting. talk about all the different nationalities, it's not just
10:37 am
central america. so the root causes and needing going to guatemala and honduras, you are only solving a third of the problem. >> john: quickly, border patrol commissioner gave a press conference, four officers are going to face discipline in the mounted patrol, he called it unnecessary use of force, whatever that is. >> absolutely terrible. i can't state this enough. these officers did nothing wrong. the report actually says they did nothing wrong. i think when the president comes out and says there will be consequences, c.b.p. was position to say we have to do something. photography shows it, what the border agents deserve is an apology from the president and the vice president and the d.h.s. secretary. >> magnus is just looking for a head? >> i think so. >> john: thank you so much. >> sandra: far left protestors
10:38 am
harassing supreme court justices, even showing up at a restaurant where justice kavanaugh was dining. and now radical activists are giving cash to anyone who offers up realtime locations of the justices. jonathan turley is here on the line between people protesting and dangerous threats. >> john: the one midterm, will pandemic school closures help decide some key races in november. stay with us. yx®. cosentyx can help you move, look, and feel better... by treating the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting...get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections some serious... and the lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms... or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms... develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. watch me. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx.

duchess could tear their eyes away from the match. novack djokovic went on to win his seventh title at wimbledon. she wore yellow the day before, polka dots yesterday, but the little prince, he at one point, i think he pulled his dad aside and complained about how hot he was in the suit because it was a warm day for a little boy to sit in a suit. >> george is a character, no question about that. remember during the jubilee, he stole hearts of everybody with his antics on the balcony. >> i love it, becoming a man, front row at wimbledon. love it. >> i love that look, too. what do you think she was asking him? >> sandra: remember, a couple moments they had to cover his ears when, you know, there was some cuss words said out loud by one of the players. >> john: picture says 1,000 words. school covid closures are

the past. concern children has been negatively impacted by the covid shutdowns, many people in power they say did not have the best interests of children and now argues it's time to vote them out. >> it was like so disheartening because it was not, they didn't care about the science, it was more about the teachers' union's demands on views of the risks, demands to remain closed and that's what was driving it and kids were thrown under the bus, education was deprioritized for basically political donations. >> that doctor says decision making on covid lockdowns was affected by not following science, they are still focused on what the children lost during the lockdowns and will not forget in november. >> john: they are going to be a powerful force. we had soccer moms, then security moms, and school moms.

"new york times" writing at 79, biden's testing the boundaries of age and the presidency. president biden has said he plans to run for a second term but his age has become an uncomfortable issue for him and his party. let's bring in byron york, i guess it was not unpredictable that things would come to this point, considering the president's age. >> it's never been a secret.
10:51 am
i will say that testing the boundaries of age is a very diplomatic way of saying he's too old to be president and it's clear a lot of americans are worried about that. this was the world's most predictable problem because everyone knew during the presidential primaries and election that joe biden would turn 80 in his second year in office. what was kind of newsworthy about this is the "new york times," among democrats, is perhaps the most in influential media organization would come out and say this so frankly. they talked to biden's age who said, for example, that the president's trip to the middle east this week was supposed to be part of his trip to europe last month, but they all decided putting the two together would just be too taxing for a man biden's age. they talk about how he sometimes shuffles when he walks, they worry he'll trip over a wire. and they talk about how he will lose his place and sometimes
10:52 am
appear momentarily confused at public events. this is all very notable for the "new york times" to come out and report. >> sandra: and that moment there in april and greensboro, north carolina turned around, obviously we remember a lot of these moments, confused which direction to go, almost looked like he was talking to somebody who was not there at one point and this moment highlighted across the mainstream media as well, when president biden flashed a cue card for a white house meeting which clearly had directions with capital letters for you, take your seat, you give brief comments, down the list, you thank the participants, you depart as if he needed instruction to do so. there have been many of these moments and pictures and video that have lined up that have come to this point, byron. >> yeah, and americans are watching this, because we have seen this interesting kind of
10:53 am
1-2 punch from the "new york times," this article about biden's age on saturday, and today a new poll showing biden's numbers, extraordinarily low, 33% job approval rating and more importantly, 64% of democrats polled want a different nominee in 2024, and when you ask them what their problems with joe biden are, the number one concern is his age. so, people are noticing this. >> sandra: absolutely. "new york times" poll, democratic voters whether to renominate president biden or nominate a different candidate in 2024, just 26% say they would renominate him, and a whopping 64% say they would nominate a different candidate. here is one member of the administration, jared bernstein, responding to the report from the weekend. >> democrats sour on biden citing age and economy, polls show pessimism becoming
10:54 am
pervasive and most want other candidates. what do you do about that? >> i take you right to the job market and to this president's fingerprints on one of the strongest job markets in our history, ok. >> sandra: is that something they can continue to defend, byron? >> no, i'm afraid it's not going to work. actually, the "new york times" talked to a 38-year-old democratic voter who said she voted for joe biden, thought he could heal the divisions but now she's preoccupied paying for gas and other costs of living. that's affecting her. when voters consider president biden's re-election, they are already factoring in his age right now. he's going to be 82 at the end of his first term. the question is, do they want to ee lebt him again to serve to age 86, and this is absolutely
10:55 am
unknown territory in american politics. never been a president of that age before. >> sandra: and you can't talk about the jobs market without talking about inflation, because all of those wages for those folks out working are getting eaten up by the inflation growth and talk about it next hour. larry summers making the point, in order to bring inflation down, see more americans lose their jobs in this country. so, painting a bleak picture of what may be to come to fix the problem. great to see you, thanks so much. >> thank you, sandra. >> john: more good news from larry summers. after the blunt report by the "new york times," president biden preparing for a trip to the middle east where he will meet with the crown prince of saudi arabia, sal -- soleimani, and talking about the bounties placed on supreme court justices.

11:01 am
we will ask him. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into hour two on this monday afternoon. i'm sandra smith in new york. hi, john. >> john: good to be back with you again. john roberts in washington. that story still ahead. but begin with a fox news alert. >> sandra: president biden under fire from all sides, most democrats say they don't want to see a second term for the president, and some in the liberal media are expressing doubts over his age and stresses of politics, he has to handle the headaches are making policy. today fending off new criticism over his trip this weekend to the middle east. this week i should say, specifically immediating with the saudi crown prince, leader of a nation he once called a pariah. >> john: the president penning a piece writing my aim will be to strengthen strategic partnership going forward based on mutual
11:02 am
interests and responsibilities and holding true to fundamental american values. members are joe biden's own party are not buying it. >> i don't think he should meet with him until he takes some accountability of the murder of the journalist, and we are exporting our own oil around the world, saudis will play us. >> sandra: before he even gets there, the white house is having to explain that the president can in fact even make the trip after a stunning report from a liberal media outlet. >> john: none other than the "new york times" writing the trip was tacked on to another journey last month to europe, arduous ten-day overseas trek until it was clear to mr. biden's team such extended travel might be unnecessarily taxing for a 79-year-old president, or "crazy" as one official put it. >> sandra: the piece writing the
11:03 am
reality is managing a schedule of the oldest president of the american history presents distinct challenges, and hotter inflation than 8.6% rate. >> john: edward lawrence defending the economic agenda. >> sandra: and mark, brand-new polling. >> president biden insists he is ready to run in 2024, but new polling, members of his own party don't think it's a great idea. "new york times" asked respondents who would they support, only 26% want to see the president as the nominee again. 64% would like to see somebody else. the president faces no shortages of challenges, and gas prices are still up, and you've got inflation as a top concern.
11:04 am
still, the president's economic team says they are on top of it. >> no one here is hiding from the fact prices are at a 40-year high. every time the president talks about the economy, he talks about affordability stressors on working families. >> the economy is a company concern, democrats are speaking out on issues like abortion, criticizing the administration response to the supreme court recent ruling. over the weekend, a large protest outside the white house. organizers told "the washington post" they feel the need to speak up even more. executive director of the women's march says leadership is coming from the streets and we would like to bring the effort in by the white house and the democrats more broadly. i think that biden has an opportunity to step forward in the leadership role in a way that he has not. the white house insists the president is leading here, that all options are on the table, that they continue to focus on
11:05 am
abortion but to legalize it nationwide, has to happen in congress and don't have the votes. but progressives are speaking up in greater numbers, more pressure on the president. >> sandra: mark, thank you. john. >> john: energy crisis and the white house still denying the president will ask the saudis to pump more oil. fox business's edward lawrence has more. so, will the president be playing the part of oliver twist or not? >> that's the big question. they are saying that energy security is on the table, and sort of the gray area there, the president defending the trip to the middle east saying he wants to bring stability by bringing countries closer together and have stability in that region. for israel, he's going to highlight a regional defense network that will counter what iran is doing through their proxy as well. saudi arabia, he wants to reorient the relationship. last month the president said he
11:06 am
was making the trip because of the gulf cooperation council meeting, throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks without highlighting the big reason the president is going, because he wants saudi arabia to pump more oil. republicans say the trip makes him look weak. >> replace american oil and gas that biden has launched this war on, he wants to do it with venezuela, saudi and iranian oil and gas supplies. it's an assinine policy. >> and energy security will be on the table when he meets the saudi king. they say the timing is suspect. >> picking up a page from trump and trying to move it forward and get saudi into the abraham accords would be a great step forward. we should not be over there begging. >> the white house maintains that gas prices are about russia, not saudi arabia. >> all the work that the
11:07 am
president has done has helped to blunt the price increase. now remember, this price increase is due to putin's tax hikes, putin's brutal war on ukraine and that's why we have seen the increase of gas prices. >> still, it's unclear what the exact deliverables are out of the meeting. >> john: edward, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: james freeman, assistant editor and fox news contributor. we were talking off camera, hard to believe they are still playing the putin blame game. it's not working for them in the polls, people are not walking around blaming vladimir putin for the high price of gasoline, but first the saudi trip. on sunday night in america. >> when joe biden became president and the saudis wanted to talk to him to talk him out
11:08 am
of rekind ling this iranian nuclear deal they oppose he did not pay them attention. and now awkward position of having to go ask for a favor from the people he's been insulting and ignoring for so long. >> sandra: what do you believe the goal is here, james? >> it's hard to tell, isn't it? and i think any politician at any age would have trouble articulating the policy, he has this political problem he did a lot of condemnations as a candidate, he thought that was helpful to get elected, to contrast himself with then president trump and now he wants to show up and ask for oil? ask for more oil but not say he's asking for oil. so, are you going to ask the saudis to pump more? no, i'm just going to say how good it would be if the whole region would produce more oil.
11:09 am
they are not producing as much as he would like but mentioned they are working with his experts to stabilize the price of oil. so, i don't know if he knows what the policy is. there's no coherent message and i think he runs a big risk, the saudis may not know what he's talking. what does he actually want? >> you think about the producers at home, resources we are sitting on, the american people saying we can produce more, just tell us that you are not out to kill the fossil fuel industry and make it more atrackable. and the dwindling reproductive rights, says the commerce security for joe biden. listen. >> the other thing we need to do, though, is get women back into the workforce. you talk about single biggest issue, look at workforce participation of women without a
11:10 am
college degree. we have to be there for those women to get child care, to, you know, reproductive health is on everybody's minds, that's going to hurt the economy. >> it's almost hard to believe that is how they are prioritizing fixing the economy, she went on to say if you are serious about the labor shortage, lean into making sure women can fully participate. obviously when it comes to reproductive rights is the point that she is making. is that how we get women back into the workforce? >> i think we can talk about a lot of shut down policies that encourage people or made it difficult for them not to be in the workforce, to encourage people, school closures obviously made it very difficult for a lot of people to be out in the workforce. >> sandra: and a lot of the women have not returned because of that. >> argument there are a lot of shut down policies endorsed by her boss, joe biden. it's a social issue.
11:11 am
people have strong opinions but if you want to talk economics, what does the u.s. economy need to thrive, the fact is for about 15 years we have had very low birth rates in this country, basically below replacement level. i have to remind people we have this 30 plus trillion dollar federal debt, lots of retirees who need to be supported by younger workers. so if you want to make a macro economic case, it is for more children. >> sandra: in the meantime, a lot of pressure on joe biden to fix this economy and she was forced to defend things not improving faster under the presidency, she said this, listen. >> a silver bullet to self, i mean. these issues have to be solved by congress or in this case, the supreme court and congress. i know people are frustrated. folks are cranky with a lot of good reason. but we have to focus on who is going to work every day and
11:12 am
solving these problems, not who uses the most fiery language. >> sandra: i go back to, you know, you want to help women out, make sure there is baby formula on the store shelves, grocery bills are coming down, gas prices are coming down, so people are not paying a fortune just to get to work every day. those are real life problems that women and men are facing, and it's a situation that's not improving, not yet at least. >> latest c.p.i. report on inflation, the last month it was more than a 40-year high, 8.6%, crushes the american budget. that's why men and women are cranky. >> sandra: good to have you here. people are cranky, see it in the polls, they don't like the high prices, don't see them coming down, at least not yet and don't see a plan for the most part and not just why the president is polling, weakness with republicans but with
11:13 am
independents and democrats as well. >> john: the figure "new york times," 34% of democrats want him to run again and the rest probably don't. >> sandra: spells trouble. >> john: stunning. and gas prices i was at a lacrosse tournament, so 4.55 to 4.80 a gallon. creeping back down. >> and faster than the price of oil, and what an incredible risk reward calculation has to happen on the small independently owned most of them mom and pop gas stations. it's a struggle for them. >> john: a long way from 3.55, but maybe some move in that direction. they cannot find peace and privacy at their own homes, or enjoy dinner with family without

>> john: a far left group going beyond harassing supreme court justices at their homes. abortion rights activists are offering cash money to restaurant workers for sightings of those who helped overturn roe v. wade. they found justice brett kavanaugh eating at an upscale steakhouse, morton's in d.c., such a ruckus he had to escape
11:20 am
out of the back of the building. jonathan turley, constitutional law attorney and fox news contributor. known as a power spot for the glitteroty, if you will, washington d.c. to eat. happened on the 6th of july, out there for mortons to kick him out and this is a justice who not too long ago was the target of an assassination plot. >> it's truly breathtaking and what's more alarming is the difficulty the democratic leaders have in condemning this type of action. secretary buttigieg this weekend basically just saying well, you know, people are upset, and reminded me of when nancy pelosi was asked about people destroying statues in her own city and saying well, people will do what people will do. and it's not that you are saying these people don't have a right to protest, of course they do. you can have a right to
11:21 am
something and abuse that right. recognize the right and yet condemn how people are using it. someone is going to get hurt. you can't create the supreme court safari atmosphere to bag a justice and collect a reward without someone crossing the line. who do you think responds to these types of calls? so, when people come in close contact, when they participate in this game, somebody is going to go too far and get hurt. >> you mentioned pete buttigieg. he was on fox news sunday, mike asked him about the justice kavanaugh and morton's incidents, and what buttigieg said from the horse's mouth. >> when public officials go into public life expect two things. one, always be free from violence, harassment and intimidation and you are never free of criticism or protesting, people exercising their first amendment rights and that's what
11:22 am
happened in the case. >> john: free from violence, harassment and intimidation, some may consider what morton's, and morton's said should not trample the freedom and play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. a time and place for everything. disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency. you could argue you did bother a lot of people, paying a lot of money for a nice evening out, but free of harassment and intimidation, isn't that what was going on? >> exactly what was going on. and this is a test of leadership. you know, leadership is when you do something that works to your disadvantage. it means standing up to the mob. there's no middle ground here. either stand with or against the mob. all it would have taken was for secretary buttigieg to say this
11:23 am
is wrong, that yes, a justice who has a different view of the constitution and other judges share that view. but we can't cross this line. we can't support people hunting down or giving rewards for finding harassing justices. why is that a tough thing? most americans would not find that a difficult thing to say. >> john: i'm going to accuse you of leading the witness. the second time now you led me to my next point, shut down d.c. which is offering bounties on twitter for people to report on the location of justices, they are offering $50 for confirmed sighting of the scotus justices and $200 if that justice is still at that location 30 minutes after the message. ostensibly i guess in time for protestors to get down there and protest or harass or intimidate said judge. >> that's right. so, who responds to these types of games? i mean, we have been talking
11:24 am
about a crisis of mental illness in the country, seen the in uvalde, in highland park, these are mentally ill people also violent. what happens when you create this type of environment, you encourage people to hunt down and confront justices. what percentage of them are mentally ill and violent action. and which of the politicians will step forward and take responsibility to the things they did not say, objections they did not make. >> john: twitter did not take down the tweet from shut down d.c., it's still there and the justice department does not seem to have an interest in trying to get to the bottom of what these folks are doing. >> that's right. these are people who are addicted to rage. they like it. and the problem is that's when people get hurt. and you can't expect this from justices and judges. these are people who gave up lucrative positions to serve on
11:25 am
the federal bench and now you are asking them to put their families at risk every time they go out. how long do you think it will be until people say i'm not going to do it risk my spouse, my children, my home for this. the rest of us have to step up and say this is wrong and should not be a cost of public service. >> john: i think the twitter bounties are a good reason to get back in touch with judge esther salas, and her thoughts as well. >> sandra: millions in covid relief funds meant to support libraries and museums instead went to fund social activism programs for children. details on that from capitol hill. did any of the money go to things that help the country recover from the actual pandemic? >> sandra, some did not, even though democrats at the time when the american rescue plan was being debated said it was critical to help the country
11:26 am
recover from the pandemic. now we are getting insight into where the money spent actually went as part of the american rescue plan. $15 million went to a federal agency that supports libraries and museums across the country. that agency then handed out the cash to local museums and libraries to pay for individual projects. so, here is what your taxpayer money paid for. $40,000 to the rochester museum and science center in new york for an anti-racism education field trip for third graders, educating them about a community effort to take down racist artwork from a historic carousel. $43,000 in taxpayer money went to the minneapolis institute of arts to train tour guides so they can then guide their tours with "an anti-racist lens". the brooklyn museum got $50,000 of taxpayer cash to produce content in schools that looks at history and art through, again,
11:27 am
"an anti-racist lens," and the studio museum in harlem, new york, 50,000 in taxpayer money to build a statue that addresses black masculinity and stereotypes. and said it enables museums and libraries to remain strong and relevant community institutions by responding to the challenging issues resulting from the pandemic. lawmakers are not convinced and think taxpayers should get a refund. congressman ralph norman telling fox digital this, we need a top down audit how every dollar has been spent. any individual or organization who utilized the funds ought to be able to prevent a thorough defense of their decisions. even some former obama economists said the american rescue plan has contributed to the inflation we are seeing
11:28 am
today so in a way, taxpayers are now paying twice for this stuff, sandra. >> sandra: a lot of people watching that. thank you very much. john. >> john: we are all, sandra, enduring a wave of red hot inflation and shoppers are really feeling the pinch. >> sandra: new data this week, as president biden continues to defend his policies. the latest when we return.

11:37 am
reports, president biden says his plans are working. inflation, record high 8.6%. any wage growth is beaten up by the higher prices. and new survey from the new york federal reserve reveals consumers don't expect things to get better anytime soon. households say inflation will rise one year from now and often drives fed rate hikes decisions. i saw that and i thought this is the way people are feeling, and there's no sense in that latest fed survey that shows consumers expect this to go down any time soon. and that affects their behavior, buying homes, buying cars, how they shop, the broader economy. >> all of this has an impact sandra as you know and i think the consumers telling us how they feel is the most important metric possibly out there. they have seen prices rise and history, think about it yourself. gas prices will move with supply, demand and global economics, but when did you see
11:38 am
restaurant prices go up and then down 10%. i remember things in my life going up, up, up, pace would be different depending on what we see, but i remember prices going down and that's how people feel, they are worried about it. >> sandra: a nickel, and prices have only gone up. larry summers has made so many headlines, economist from democratic administration's, and critical and thinks he has a better solution. he says the back of the envelope calculation but his theory is historic, it has worked successfully historically, looks at the inverse relationship, to bring inflation down if it's always an inverse relationship, you would need unemployment to go up. he's suggesting it needs to go to 5% for five years to start to bring down demand and eventually
11:39 am
bring down inflation. here is slate, who followed up on larry summers on his comments on this, saying why larry summers thinks we need it, walked slate through the harsh forecast and the question, jackie is he right? my economic plan, larry summers, ok. so basically i don't have it in front of me, i think -- here we go. summers and others argue at this point prices are rising thanks to unsustainbly low prices, and likely mean fewer people working. that's a harsh reality for many, they see there would need to be short-term pain for long-term gain. >> it's harsh, but i think you are right. and larry summers has been around the block a few times,
11:40 am
what he's basically saying and the back of the envelope, may not be 5% for five years, you know, exactly, but he's basically saying think of the chain reaction of what happens. jerome powells had the task to engineer into the perfectly soft landing, raises the rates enough to get the inflation to come down, and larry summers says when you raise the rates, it impacts corporations, their borrowing power, impacts the debt they are currently servicing. they are paying higher input costs as well, higher wages, what happens, they lay people off. you lay those people off, don't have the paychecks coming in, there is your demand. it's like a domino effect, that's what he's talking about. >> sandra: all right, he's got a lot of ideas out there. some people don't want to hear it, about you when inflation gets this bad and out of control, it takes harsh measures to get under control. >> why you don't want to get it
11:41 am

>> sandra: thousands of migrants continue to cross into the united states, fox news got a chance to ride along with the texas department of public safety. bill has the latest from the border for us. white house said this would slow down in summer, are you seeing that? >> bill: sandra, not at all. we are pushing into some of the hottest weeks here at the southern border, supposed to be 109 degrees here in eagle pass today. you would think that would slow traffic down, but it's not. case in point, a single massive group of 300 who crossed over, it was 108°, sweltering temperatures, the migrants were struggling, border patrol agents were struggling, they were from all over the world. as far away as bangladesh last week, but seeing it every day

here in eagle pass. take a look at the video last night, embedded with texas d.p.s. troopers, 95° at midnight, tracked footprints and backpacks and six illegal immigrants laying and hidinging the brush hoping to evade and they were charged with criminal trespassing. a couple weeks ago, a convicted rapist from guatemala was sneaking through the private ranchers 15 miles from the border. a ranch owner, we asked her, do you believe the border is closed? >> that's a joke. they ought to come down here and fear for their lives. i mean, and they are not staying here. they are coming through my ranch, they are headed somewhere else, they are not staying in the county. they are destroying our

property. >> bill: not just migrants across the border, drugs as well. in nogales, arizona, two separate major fentanyl busts totaling more than 50,000 fentanyl bills at the port of entry. back to you. >> sandra: bill, eagle pass, texas, thank you, bill. >> john: more than 1,000 miles of border between mexico and the united states, you might think texas bears the brunt of problems but now seems that's where you would be wrong. "washington post" found the state that may be suffering the most is actually arizona. ron is the former u.s. border patrol chief and deputy commissioner and joins us announcement specifically with arizona, we were chatting while we were watching bill's report, you say the biden administration has lost all the leverage that the trump administration had built up and that you personally had worked on with mexico to stem the cross border crisis. >> absolutely.
11:51 am
we have a situation where the administration pressured mexico to do more during the trump regime to try to stop, and back then, john, it was 3,000 a day. we are now close to 8,000 a day. when we walked away from the policy slowing down traffic through mexico across the guatemalan border, when we walked away from a policy that allowed them to deploy 25,000 troops, first time in my career, they put troops on the northern border to stop the large groups we saw, they stopped them from amassing and across the border and overwhelming the border and mexico did more in that time frame than i have seen them do. when we say the migrant protection protocol does not exist anymore and this administration ran to the supreme court to get relief on the migrant protection protocol so they could unwind it, mexico is not go to help us. why would they help their own domestic politics, soldiers,
11:52 am
personnel to help us when we are not helping ourselves. >> john: when the biden administration backed off, they backed off as well. >> exactly. leverage before was you help us, we will help you and if you don't, we'll tariff or talk about closing the border. we are not about to do that anymore, and now we are just -- we have sent a signal, a signal to mexico first and now the rest of the world. >> john: i mentioned the "washington post" article, the border crisis is so bad they put out a big article about it, and pointed out that this is not just a northern triangle or mexico problem, this is 190 countries around the world, including india, iran, russia, republic of georgia, brazil, colombia, cuba, kamala harris is talking on occasion with the leaders of nicaragua, honduras and el salvador, but it's a global problem now. >> it's an enormous problem and we have told the rest of the
11:53 am
world, now is the time, this administration is not serious about protecting our border and in the article when they talk about arizona, those legal communities, like yuma, nogales, where i worked for several years, it's enormous burden on local resources. when the people mass and cross the border, overwhelms the capacity at border patrol and d.h.s. and burdens the local communities. remember, many of them are getting released and so that falls to the local communities to help them find a way out of town. >> john: back in june you and four of your former colleagues at c.b.p. wrote a letter to mayorkas cautioning them against any disciplinary action taken against the mounted border patrol agents who were involved in the haitian issue. you saw the press conference on friday, some discipline coming. chris magnus could not explain the parameters of what it would be or for, what's your thoughts? >> at least magnus protected due process of the agents.
11:54 am
but the vice president, the president and the secretary did not. that put them on notice it went over the line saying the worst things about them and now we expect whatever discipline comes down. that was over the line. >> john: they didn't do anything wrong. >> they certainly didn't assault anybody, we found that out quickly and the administration has failed to apologize for that. >> john: thanks for coming in. its been a while. >> sandra: we will hear from a pilot who nailed an incredible landing but instead of a runway, he found a highway. that's next. i'm tatiana for newday usa with some great news for fellow veterans who own a home. with home values at record highs, now's the best time in history to turn your home equity into cash. up to $60,000 or more. the newday 100 loan lets you borrow 100% of your home's value: 25% more cash than you get at a bank. give them a call.
