glued beard, i like a beard on a guy. >> my husband does the hunting beard in the fall, and senator ted cruz can pull that off, but outside of that, none of these guys, sorry. >> no, not you guys -- >> no, love you. >> that's terrible. i'm very much team beard. thanks to everyone, and now here is "america reports." >> gillian: fox news alert to kick off "america reports" today, real work begins, words of liz cheney describing a whole new chapter during her primary concession speech. wyoming republicans voted to go in favor of trump-backed candidate harriet hageman. jackie, great to be with you. >> it's going to be fun, jacqui heinrich. losing by more than 30 points, a

list of losses of republicans who voted to impeach trump. >> cheney announced a new organization focused on keeping trump out of the oval office, and a potential white house run for herself in 2024. fox digital spoke to voters about that possibility. >> i don't think i would support her in a presidential run. >> no, please, no, no, no, no, no, no. >> i think she would be a great option for our nation. >> i would vote for her. we need women, strong women with powerful decision making and fair. >> i'm not a cheney fan. two years from now, no, no. >> jacqui: katie pavlich is standing by, jonathan hunt with the alaska primary results. >> gillian: rich joins us from jackson, wyoming. what's next for congresswoman cheney? >> good afternoon, gillian. the real work is going to be in

the next several weeks, according to her team, a new organization designed to keep former president donald trump away from the oval office. told "the today show" she's thinking about running for president but for now, the primary loss to harriet hageman here in wyoming. cheney held an evening last evening, two years ago when she ran for her primary, got nearly, or more than 70% of the vote. cheney said she could have held on to the seat if she had embraced the lie the 2020 election was stolen. she said no house seat is that important and she's now going to work to keep trump away from the presidency and repair her party. >> look, i think the republican party today is in very bad shape, and i think that we have a tremendous amount of work to do. i think it could take several election cycles, but the country has got to have a republican party that's actually based on substance, based on principles.

>> the winner, harriet hageman, says cheney was more interested in her work vice chairing the january 6th committee, than representing the district, the entire state of wyoming. and embraced trump's endorsement. the former president won in 2020 in the state with nearly 70% of the vote. >> wyoming wants a representative fighting to put america first, to put wyoming first, to put you first, and i am that representative. i did not do this on my own. obviously we are all very grateful to president trump who recognizes that wyoming has only one congressional representative, and we have to make it count. >> cheney will serve in congress until january. if she does decide to run for president, she has a head start on fundraising. she raised more than $15 million and only spent about half of that, so has $7 million to put towards a run if she would like.

back to you, gillian. >> gillian: rich in jackson, thank you. >> jacqui: in alaska, incumbent republican senator lisa murkowski and the trump backed candidate both go to the election in november, and sarah palin forged ahead to the fall, she looks to complete her comeback into the political arena. jonathan hunt has more from anchorage, alaska. senator murkowski is not in the clear yet. >> jonathan: oh, absolutely not. senator murkowski knows full well even though she qualified easily in the open primary, the real battle to hold on to her senate seat begins now, and she also knows full well that in the run-up to november's election, former president trump will do everything he can to ensure that the moderate republican senator

is defeated in favor of a more conservative republican. senator murkowski talked to me yesterday about that. she said this election should not be about president trump, it should be about alaska and she railed against outside influences using sometimes colorful language, listen here. >> we are already seeing some of the nastyness that comes from the outside being imported to alaska. we import a lot of stuff from the outside, we don't need the crap that they deliver on the outside coming into our state. >> is president trump part of what you call "crap?" >> you know what, i don't lower myself to call other people names. >> jonathan: far more conservative senate candidate also qualified for november's run-off, and she said even though she did not quite get as

many votes as senator murkowski, last night was effectively a win for her. >> and so the climb from here to victory is a pretty clear path and what we need to do and that's what we can see tonight, so this is a win for us. >> now, in the open house seat, former governor sarah palin has qualified for the november run-off. what we are waiting to see is who actually fills the seat for the next four months, because it was a special election for that last night. in that race, governor palin is currently sitting second behind the democrat, mary peltola. in third place, another republican, and in the ranked choice voting, nick, on the current figures, if those hold, would drop out and whoever was marked as second place on his ballots would then get his votes. so, sarah palin obviously

hoping, jacqui, she will benefit from the second choices. the split republican vote will all go to her and she will end up the victor and holding that seat for at least the next four months, in which case former governor sarah palin could be back on the national stage very soon. jacqui. >> jacqui: a lot of falls in the air there, tough to keep track of everything with rank choice voting. we have broken it down nicely, thank you very much, john. gillian. >> gillian: katie pavlich, editor of townhall.com and fox news contributor. she is down but not out, she does not see herself out of republican politics, she does not even see herself out of the presidential race. take a listen to her this morning. >> are you thinking about running for president? >> that's a decision that i'm going to make in the coming months, i'm not going to make any announcements here this

morning. but it is something that i am thinking about and i'll make a decision in the coming months. i will be doing whatever it takes to keep donald trump out of the oval office. >> gillian: she is watching the super pac, you think she has a shot? >> when it comes to the presidential candidacy for liz cheney, essentially no shot she'll be president. if you even take donald trump out of it, run against florida governor desantis, former vice president mike pence, former secretary of state mike pompeo and a whole list of others. >> gillian: nikki haley. >> and given the fact she lost her primary race in wyoming, was unable to hold on to that, there is not much of a constituency, and for the past year and a half liz cheney has been very dependent on democrat praise, especially on capitol hill when it comes to the january 6th committee, but democrats don't vote for republicans, but they

are happy to use them when it comes to pushing political narratives that benefit them in elections. interesting to see what she does with the pac money, what kind of candidates she supports initially, if she decides do that before a residential run. but given her speech last night, comparing herself to president lincoln, citing losing previous elections but then went on to be president, it's pretty clear what her intentions are. but constituency or who would vote for her does not seem to be there. >> gillian: the a.p. says, katie, her candidacy is a wash, a lot of lessons for the republican party. they write a party once dominated by national security oriented, business friendly conservatives like her father, former vice president dick cheney, now belongs to trump, and his denial of defeat in the 2020 election. is that how you see things breaking down, is elections denial new animating the gop moving into the midterms?

>> well, actually it's really unfair assessment from the associated press to say that dick cheney was more national security oriented than donald trump, for example, who killed soleimani, got us out of wars, and keeping the country safe. a narrative the republican party is the only party that has ever questioned elections. when you have people on the january 6th committee who refuse to certify the 2016 election results when president trump beat hillary clinton, and so that is a narrative that is very one-sided, i think republicans want election integrity, a number of states, arizona and georgia, for example, bolstering their election integrity laws. so, this is not an issue that goes on one side of the aisle, election integrity is something that both sides have cared about and questioned for a very long time. >> gillian: so harriet hageman agrees with you, she says it's

really not cheney's opposition to the election -- excuse me, her opposition to trump's assessment of the election results that's motivating voters, it's the fact she's so distracted by trump she's not focusing on the issues that voters care about. and focusing on the obsession of president trump, and the citizens of wyoming sent a loud message tonight. you agree with that? >> yeah, if you look at the closing arguments they made. hageman made her last stand, an op-ed in a casper newspaper, much more representative of wyoming than jackson, quite frankly, and liz cheney lives in virginia the majority of the time, does not live in wyoming. and hageman talked about the issues when it comes to what's happening in washington, the biden administration and their war on energy, for example, which of course affects wyoming, interior department with

environmental regulations, public lands, those are things she focused on. liz cheney has been very focused on january 6th, washington, d.c., and abandoned what wyomingites actually care about, and that's the beauty of democracy. when people feel they are not represented by the person they put in office they can change who is in d.c. representing them and that's what happened last night. >> gillian: and the same lesson we see politicians learn over and over again, whether it's a congressional primary, the presidency, not enough to run against something, you have to stand against a whole host of issues. >> and not enough to have an endorsement, as well. even though endorsements do matter. >> gillian: takes work. katie, thanks so much. jacqui, out of the races where trump has enforced candidates since leaving office, 161 candidates have prevailed and only nine have lost. numbers don't lie.

>> jacqui: they don't. i go back to the liz cheney possible 2024 run and all i can think about is cheney's whole campaign is less that cheney than it is about trump. and it just makes me think that maybe this is more about trying to knock him out of a primary run and you know, split off some of the vote that would have been republicans disenfranchised with him when he was president or upset after january 6th or independent voters, and just split off enough of them to prop up another candidates. she is not making a strong case for herself. her whole campaign is all about trump. yeah. interesting. well, the head of the cdc announcing some major changes. rochelle walensky ordering a reorganization, saying the covid-19 response did not reliably meet expectations. it will focus on making the health protection agency quicker responding to new threats, helping the agency release data faster and make any guidance

easier to understand. l >> gillian: also this, rudy giuliani is in court testifying before a georgia grand jury. he is a target in the criminal probe. >> jacqui: calls growing louder for the justice department to unseal the affidavit in the mar-a-lago raid. a hearing on the matter tomorrow. will we see what's in that document? >> the fbi to do what they did when clearly 50% of america strongly supports donald trump, without giving any explanation, not just to the american people, but to the leadership in congress is very disturbing. for every veteran homeowner who needs money for their family, it's a new day in america. air force, pararescue, five years. home values are at record highs. the newday 100 va loan lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's total value. and take an average of $60,000 cash.

>> gillian: a missouri man charged with threatening an

arizona election official faces one count of communicating an interstate threat, another count of making a threatening phone call. authorities say the spent left a voice mail last may on the personal cell phone of an election official. if convicted, he faces up to seven years behind bars. >> jacqui: the federal judge who approved the raid on former president trump's home, steve is live near mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida. where does the battle stand over the affidavit? >> doj, department of justice wants the affidavit to remain sealed. have expressed concerns if it is opened, it could compromise their investigation. they have also expressed concerns that opening the affidavit could endanger some of the witnesses they have spoken to. on the opposite side, former president trump, he wants the

affidavit to be released entirely unredacted. most legal analysts say that is not likely to happen. >> i don't think in the middle of an investigation a judge is going to release a warrant which would identify not only what their grounds were for seeking the warrant, but would probably tell at least the trump people enough so they would know who the informants were. >> president trump continues to blast the fbi for his raid on his home here at mar-a-lago, especially for removing three of his passports and then returning them, writing on truth social the president said unfortunately when they raided my house, mar-a-lago, eight days ago, they just opened their arms and grabbed everything in sight. much as a common criminal would do. this shouldn't happen in america. now tomorrow, 1:00 p.m., we are likely to hear from the judge on that hearing whether or not this affidavit will be opened.

jacqui, back to you. >> jacqui: we will be watching. thanks so much, steve. gillian. >> gillian: rudy giuliani is testifying today before a georgia special grand jury. the former attorney to president trump is expected to face questions about the administration's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. jonathan is at the courtroom in atlanta. is giuliani cooperating so far with the investigation? >> hi, gillian. as he went into the closed door session, rudy giuliani gave reporters little indication whether he intended to answer the questions or whether he was going to plead the fifth. the former new york mayor is not just a witness, after all. prosecutors have informed giuliani he is also a target of the investigation into the efforts to overturn president trump's 2020 election loss in georgia. this is not an indictment, just an official notice that criminal charges are possible based on the evidence. and the weeks following the election, giuliani, acting as

mr. trump's personal lawyer, tried to convince a georgia senate committee there had been widespread voter fraud, he based on conspiracy theories debunked by authorities. and a federal judge ordered lindsey graham to appear before the same grand jury august 23rd, they say he is only a witness and not a target of the investigation. last month a judge blocked fulton county district attorney willis from investigating republican bert jones because she hosted a fundraiser for his democratic opponent for governor. jones was among alternate ee electors who tried to certify the votes for trump. now there is a motion to block willis from investigating them, arguing with jones out of the mix, their clients may face even

tougher scrutiny. gillian, back to you. >> gillian: thank you. jacqui. >> jacqui: it is being called one of the largest frauds in american history. officials scrambling to recover billions of pandemic relief funds. so, where did it all go? how about a $57,000 pokemon card to start. >> gillian: a new york congressman is calling the criminal justice system cruel and inhumane and says it cannot be reformed, he calls for defund the police, violent crime in his own district is exploding. >> in order for people to want to stay here in new york, you need elected leaders to be defending law abiding citizens supporting law enforcement.

>> jacqui: as president biden

signed $739 billion in new federal spending into law, officials are scrambling to recoup billions of dollars stolen from previous covid relief packages, what's referred to now as one of the largest fraudz in american history. fox team coverage, aishah hasnie on how the promise to cancel student debt would undermine the inflation reduction act, but gerri willis is live in the new york city newsroom, over 5 trillion of stimulus spending, are we going to see this? >> a tiny proportion, most will go unrecouped, lost to fraud, overall, $163 billion. that's what happens when the government makes huge amounts of taxpayer money available to the public with virtually 0 oversight. now, the examples would be comical if not our taxpayers

dollars. 342 people said their name was n/a, no answer. 57,000 people on the government's own do not pay list got dough, imagine that. dead people got money, one florida couple claimed their miami home was a farm that generated over $800,000 per year. one applicant got ten loans for ten different fake bathroom renovation businesses using the address of a burrito shop. yachts, sports cars, mansions, rolex watches, you get the picture. applicants in many cases on the honor system. listen. >> i think people made a conscious decision, we are going to get the money out and if there's fraud you'll chase it later. that's not an acceptable model. >> the president just extended the window to prosecute the crimes up to ten years, over a period of ten years and probably need every single minute to recoup a fraction of the stolen

money. >> jacqui: the most agregious examples, 31-year-old georgia guy, buys a pokemon card, $57,789 on it. prosecutors said he paid too much money for that, by the way, surprise, surprise, bought at the height of i guess the trading period and then some brooklyn teens dumb enough to pose with $2 million in cash that they stole, using various fake names and then olympic speed skater, who convinced the government she employed up to 430 people for her production company and got $10 million for it and now prosecutors want her to give back 9.7 million. so, my point here is it sounds like average people were able to convince the government that they had businesses that did not exist. sounds it was pretty easy. >> it was pretty easy, and that's because nobody was checking. everybody was throwing the money

out as fast as they could, trying to get the relief out to people and in the process, gave it to folks bragging on social media about what they had done. easy enough to catch up with the folks but the work has not been done. >> jacqui: and you mentioned the president said in the state of the union speech he was going to go after these people, after fraud cases, department of justice appointed a person in charge of this. but the state of the union was a while ago. has there been any headway from the doj prosecution of these cases, any sort of conclusion they have reached as to what is going to be done? >> well, i have to say there's been about a billion dollars that has been reclaimed, but there was 163 billion overall that was stolen. so we are making very small steps towards getting this money back, and don't forget, we are paying for the prosecution of this, too. virtually every police agency working on this, everybody from

the fbi to the irs is going after this dough, so we are paying twice. >> jacqui: unbelievable. double dipping in a way. appreciate it. thanks so much. >> gillian: wow, is all i can say. >> jacqui: this is just, we are talking about so much money. >> gillian: nigerian scammers to shame, these americans. it's incredible. it actually -- >> jacqui: the gall also to say you have x amount of employees for businesses that don't exist. people had to think this is something they got away with. >> gillian: might have been too easy as you just talked about, but sounds like they put a whole lot of creativity into some of these. burrito shop lady, that impressed me personally. >> jacqui: funny but not funny. >> gillian: exactly. also this. president biden may be reconsidering a campaign pledge to cancel out student debt. analysis is revealing the

existing plan would undercut the newly signed inflation reduction act. federal student loan payments are set to resume in two weeks after a two and a half year pause during the pandemic. congressional correspondent aishah hasnie joins us live from capitol hill. how much could it cause to extend the pause yet again for the umpteenth time? >> aishah: some are warning don't do it, don't touch it, don't touch student debt, leave it alone, it's only going to hurt inflation. so the president is finding himself in a tough spot here, a long campaign promise to do something, take action on student loan debt, but you have folks out there saying look, anything that you do extending the pause or even cancelling a little bit of student debt is not only going to hurt inflation, it could really undermine this so-called inflation reduction act the president has been touting for the last few hours. so, pressure, though, in congress is mounting on him to

do something. more than 100 democratic members of congress are calling for a payment pause extension, saying in a letter that returning student loan payments would force millions of borrowers to choose between paying their federal student loans or putting a roof over their heads. but the non-partisan committee for a responsible federal budget says extending the current pause through the end of the year could cost 20 billion, gillian. cancelling 10,000 per person which is something the president would like to see would cost 230 billion. combined, that wouldn't just worsen inflation, it could undermine this brand-new package he just signed into law. >> oh, it's going to make inflation worse. look, we started this pause when the economy was in meltdown. the unemployment right now among college graduates is 2% and we continue to tell them don't pay back your student debt, just spend the money on the economy.

of course that's going to increase the inflation rate. >> aishah: progressives don't see it that way, watch. >> if cancelling student loan debt is coupled with restarting payments, we have been in a payment pause for two years now, the effect is not inflationary, the effect is deinflationary. millions are paying student loans payments, less money to spend every month. >> aishah: time is running out. payments restart in two weeks. all those folks, before they cut the check, want to know what the white house thinks. the white house is remaining silent so far. >> gillian: any republican support for an extension on the moratorium again, or -- >> i think there is too much talk out there about what has happened to regular folks at home with this inflation, really

getting out of control, that they want to do as much as they can to bring the deficit down, stop the spending, and this really would be i think in the republican view more spending. >> gillian: aishah hasnie, thank you so much. every time we cover the story my ears prick up a bit, i have about $10,000 in my own student loan debt left from my masters degree and i have continued to pay it off even during the pandemic, my brother tells me is stupid, but i want to get rid of it. my point being, for a lot of americans having no lead time when they are going to extend the moratorium yet again does not really provide any help anyway. >> jacqui: i have more debt than that, actually. and i think it's something -- democrats, it's a popular idea, right. their base really responds to it. but you get whiplash with the

arguments in favor of it. for example, inflation reduction act, the whole reason they claim they can call it the inflation reduction act is because they say it reduces the deficit. well, stopping student loan payments increases the deficit. so it all kind of falls apart when you look closely. >> gillian: and at the end of the day, somebody always has to foot the bill. >> jacqui: that is true. a twist in the murder of a microsoft manager gunned down in front of his toddler. the claims his ex-wife fitness trainer is making. >> gillian: and the water supply out west is dangerously low. take you to lake mead next. >> to keep water flowing below the dam, we have to use less. nature is not providing the water supplies it did in the past. this is the sound of better breathing. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils.

>> gillian: a florida murder mystery is deepening now with new clues not execution style killing of a microsoft executive. a personal trainer telling fox digital he had an affair with the ex-wife, a claim she denies. allegation comes this week marks six months since he was gunned down in front of his toddler daughter. nancy grace, host of "crime stories." those are the two big reasons we laid out. this murder is in the headlines once again, the six-month anniversary of the murder. and then also the new explosive claims to fox news digital from the personal trainer. >> well, yes. these two developments have landed the case back in the headlines. one, that the ex-wife, shannon gardner fernandez had an affair during the marriage with her trainer. i don't care. that means nothing to me in the

prosecution of a case because it was years after that that the murder occurred. however, it does affect her credibility. because she has long denied it and in that circumstance it becomes relevant. because a judge can tell a jury if it ever comes to that, if you disbelieve a witness in part, you may disbelieve them in whole. she also said she had nothing to do with the murder of her ex-husband, a father of four. what i find really interesting, is that reportedly in 2015 when she was getting a body piercing in a tattoo parlor, she stated she wanted someone to "shut him up." and did the tattoo artist know anyone that could shut up her ex-husband. i find that very interesting in this case, her husband, a father of four, including two tots, was

clearly ambushed and murdered as he left her, the ex's home after a scheduled visit. who would know to ambush him on a fairly deserted road by obstructing it with a tire. he had to get out of the tire on the 1-way road. toddler was in the back seat and her mother tells me she still says boom boom, daddy on the ground. she has no father now. >> gillian: nancy, the other thing i've been reading about this case, the jacksonville beach police does not have a lot of crime scene evidence, they have surveillance footage of the vehicle of interest, but that's kind of it, right? >> well, maybe that's all it will take, because that's a ford f-150 if i recall. and i would be interested in the

homes and businesses on either end of that 1 way street, you know, florida is infamous for all the tolls, everywhere you go you have to pay a dollar. are there photographs there. is there surveillance on businesses along that stretch as turn off that 1-way road. i would be very interested in that, and i'm sure they are right now canvassing all of those businesses and homes for any surveillance video that would match that ford f-150. >> gillian: nancy, while i have you, i want to make sure we talk about your new fox news investigation coming out on fox nation, "teacher death mystery." >> by the time she was stabbed in the back, on that particular stab, there was no bleeding because her heart was no longer pumping. >> there is no blood where the stab occurred. that means that ellen did not have a pulse when the stab occurred. somebody else is administering that wound. >> gillian: can't wait to get

into this. tell us what you dug up. >> well, i can tell you as i was just listening to that, i went with ellen greenberg, just sent out the save the dates for her wedding, went with her parents in virginia, and we went to the cemetery where ellen is buried, and they hated it, they did not want to go, they went, and they said we just can't even look at this. ellen is not supposed to be there. she is not supposed to be under the ground. this young girl was stabbed at least 20 times, including the back of the head and the back of the neck. how can you stab yourself that many times and day, also she's right-handed, according to forensic, she stabbed herself with her left hand in her left shoulder, the bra strap, and that was the mortal wound. none of this suggests suicide. the m.e. first said homicide and

after a meeting with law enforcement the m.e. changed his ruling to accidental, to suicide. homicide to suicide. how did that happen? i want the truth of this case, and i want her parents finally to be able to put their head on their pillow at night and go to sleep. >> gillian: nancy, for our viewers who want the truth, head over to fox nation, "teacher death mystery," a brand-new investigation from nancy. we love talking to you, come back soon. >> thank you. and let me add that in the microsoft dad, the ex-wife insists she's innocent. got to put that on the record. >> gillian: she does. nancy grace, got to leave it there. thank you. >> jacqui: cdc's loosened covid rules are getting mixed reactions with some saying finally? others saying not so fast. as adults live mainly free, kids seem to be bearing the brunt of all of this, schools are still

forcing them to do. charlie hurt will have more on that. >> gillian: plus this, fox news cameras, stopping migrants from getting in until a border supervisor armed with a key stepped in, as border patrol makes another massive fentanyl bust. >> 70% of border agents off the line, and how much fentanyl is coming into the country and not being seized. a scary number to even think of. n treatment is broken. try zegerid otc. it contains the leading medicine to treat frequent heartburn, uniquely designed for absorption. get all day, all night relief with zegerid otc. research shows that people remember ads with young people having a good time. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's a pool party. look what i brought! liberty mutual! they customize your home insurance... so you only pay for what you need!

>> gillian: if you are feeling nostalgic for the dive of a good bar after the pandemic, you will have a chance to taste one. miller highlight is partnering with the boozey ice cream company tipsy scoop, it has a peanut swirl, hints of saltyness and tobacco smoke and gooy carmel for the dive bar and dark chocolate to remind you of dark floor and dim lighting. as for the booze, each bar has

up to 5% alcohol. jacqui, it's a head scratcher. but as i read this, i think i'm in. >> jacqui: i'm all about combining ice cream and alcohol, great. two things everyone loves. when i think of a dive bar, i think about graffiti, cigarettes, you don't want to touch anything in the bathroom, hangovers, nothing that makes me want to go out and eat something. >> gillian: the breakdown of the flavor sounds delicious. like it needs a better name. some rebranding. better name but keep the ice cream as it is. the final vote. >> jacqui: that's where we have to leave it until we try it. one day after customs and border patrol announced seizures of fentanyl up to 200% in july, agents have announced yet another significant drug bust at the port of entry in nogales, arizona. meanwhile, in texas, fox is on

the scene when migrants showed up to a gate at a major crossing area, typically left open but it had been locked by the national guard. bill is live at the border in eagle pass, texas. so, bill, what are you seeing so far today? >> bill: jacqui, good afternoon to you. once again, having ourselves another busy day here at eagle pass, see over my shoulder and live from the fox drone, what's left over of a group of about 200 that just crossed illegally. two bus loads of migrants just left, transferred away for processing. what you are looking at is what's left over. more people are getting ready to cross over right now. this happens day in and day out down here. case in point, take a look at the video we shot earlier this morning. remarkable footage, two shirtless guys go to the u.s. side of the river and tie down a rope, and then use the rope to help guide over a bigger group of migrants across the river through these strong currents. some of the migrants were

actually holding little kids and toddlers, incredibly dangerous. just today, two bodies have been found on the riverbank, apparent drowning victims. so very dangerous to cross the river this way. but ultimately all of them did make it across. and take a look at this video what you were mentioning i think the anchor toss, the first time we have witnessed this. texas national guard closed and locked the gate here on private property. illegal immigrants expected to be let in but were not let in. this is the first day we have seen the gate closed and locked and ultimately what happened was border patrol came and unlocked the gate with a key. if we can pull up the video, a supervisor shows up with a key, opens up the gate and allows all the illegal immigrants in. and back out here live, the exact same thing just happened, just opened by border patrol and now the migrants are being processed yet again.

send it back to you. >> jacqui: incredible video to watch, opening a locked gate. thank you, bill. >> gillian: knew at 2:00, a new york congressman who has repeatedly called to defund the police and do away with the criminal justice system faces the stark reality of violent crime surging across his district. joe says it's no coincidence. charlie hurt and ron will join us next as "america reports" continues.

>> jacqui: brand-new at 2:00, the last time we faced a water crisis this bad the chart topping song was a gregorian chant. and big tech a buzz over the hottest new invention, gunpowder. the u.s. is facing a mega drought, and could have devastating effects, higher

prices or effects on pizza. >> gillian: southern border, looks like 2 million people will try to cross into the united states illegally this fiscal year. for some context, that 2 million number is just shy of the population of houston, which is the fourth largest city in the country. >> jacqui: the latest trend sweeping college campuses, mandatory thought. support equity and inclusion but are penalized if they don't take action to prove it. "america reports" rolls into a second hour. >> gillian: great to be with you for the second hour. we were talking about how it has gone by so quickly. kicking off with a fox news alert, take a look at this. >> jacqui: cdc, only had one job, agency is admitting it blew it, saying they have failed their response to covid-19. in a statement obtained by "the washington post," rochelle walensky said for 75 years cdc

and public health have been preparing for covid-19 and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations. my goal is a new public health goal oriented action at cdc, emphasizes accountability, collaboration, timeliness. >> gillian: also says the organization will make major changes to respond faster after facing criticism. some of her critics, though, say the course correction is coming too late as kids across the country are already paying the price. philadelphia, officials announce kids have to wear masks for the first ten days of the year, and preschoolers have to mask up all year. >> jacqui: virginia fairfax county public school is requiring masks indoors only if the community rates rise to a high transmission level. and over in the big apple, students who are not vaccinated will be sidelined. charlie hurt is ready to tee off

the latest from the cdc. >> gillian: peter doocy joins us from delaware where he is travelling with president biden. what is on the president's agenda today, peter? >> peter: we don't know what the president is doing today but do know he is a close contact of the covid positive first lady who remains in south carolina and even though the cdc did recently change some guidance for unvaccinated folks, basically saying if an unvaccinated person is exposed to covid they no longer have to quarantine, there is one standard that remains. for unvaccinated and vaccinated. it was updated six days ago, it says wear a mask as soon as you find out you are exposed. but the president says he always adheres to the cdc guidelines did not do that. took the mask off at a bill signing, coughed, shook hands and had several key democratic leaders hovering over him maskless hours after he had a negative test. remember, this is a president who never came out to clarify

this comment from this year. >> i've been saying that as we remain in this pandemic, this is a pandemic in the unvaccinated. >> peter: the cdc does not see it that way anymore, burying some major changes to their guidance. >> we used to spend a lot of time arguing about six feet of distance, 15 minutes of being together. we realize that's not the right way to think about this, not the kind of the most accurate way to think about this. >> peter: those are regulation that is have heavily influenced american life for years now, and they are gone, just like that. >> i'm going to do what's right. now cdc has changed their guidance and they are saying no difference in treatment between a vax and unvaxxed. if the cdc has come around to that, why is the military still kicking people out over the

covid shot? >> peter: there has not been a chance to ask the president about any of this, or the afghanistan anniversary, or the inflation reduction act. he was actually only at the white house for a few hours in between vacation. no public events on the schedule today. gillian. >> gillian: peter doocy in wilmington, thanks so much. >> jacqui: bring in charlie hurt, "washington times" opinion editor and fox news contributor. charlie, opinion article put the best i've seen, they write we are all florida 2020 now, because the cdc new guidance says for kids exposed to covid, everyone gets exposed, but the policy had only punished kids who were knowingly exposed, and then you know, no longer having to routinely test if you don't have symptoms, no longer distinguishment between an unvaccinated person and vaccinated person, acknowledging for the first time, i think,

there is a degree of protection against -- from prior infection. so, this now coming from the cdc, and i now wonder, based on what exactly are new york city schools making this new guidance. i want to read this four, many activities indoors or strenuous and classroom activities, guidance is intended to keep kids safe in class and after school activities. so, they have covid vaccine mandates for kids in new york and the cdc is now saying they don't need to do that. so, what gives? >> no, it's a real -- it's a real conumdrum the cdc has gotten itself into, and obviously we can go a long list of all the things that they have gotten wrong, whether it's talking about masks or talking about the vaccinations, but if you step back, the big picture here, the big problem for the cdc is that they allowed a

disease to become politicized, and they contributed to the politization of the disease and when you do that, the problem is, especially if you are in the realm of science and you are supposed to be helping americans understand what, you know, the specifics of the threat that they face, you end up losing all credibility and we do wind up all becoming florida 2020 where nobody, or very few people have any faith that the cdc either is telling the truth or even knows what they are talking about, and so when they -- and then so, and then of course the result of that is, you wind up with lots of school districts with lots of different rules in place. cherry picking different points over the past two years of guidance they got from the cdc, and you wind up with children bearing the brunt of all of this, if they are forced to wear masks in schools, even though there is no evidence whatsoever

that children, obviously, it's a serious disease, and for people that have, who are vulnerable it's very serious, but children are really not the real prime vector here. >> jacqui: and in some cases like new york city, there are vaccine mandates, not just mask mandates, there are vaccine mandates or they cannot play certain sports. do you think it's incumbent upon the cdc to take some corrective action, to influence changes at these school districts that are enacting these policies, that they have put in place based on prior guidance from the cdc. >> right. so i think that they have a real -- a real -- it's going to be very difficult for the cdc to gain the credibility to make those corrections, but i think you are right. i think that they should attempt to make those corrections, and as governor desantis points out, if you lost your job because you did not get a vaccine that we now know doesn't work the way we were promised that it worked, and the way lots of businesses

and the u.s. military thought it worked when they fired people or when they severed people from military service. those are real consequences, those are real people whose lives have been wrecked by this wrong information, and so by all means, you know, somebody needs to go back and meticulously make right the wrongs. i'm not sure the cdc has credibility left in order to do that. i'm afraid at this point it's more of a political solution where political leaders step in and say you know what, we are going to make this right, we are going to make these people whole. >> jacqui: seems they are going in the other direction. i want to pull up call four number 2, the dccc has an email to supporters saying for a limited time, giving away the special edition face masks to anyone who donates 15 or more to elect democrats, our way of showing appreciation. so, they are sort of entrenched

in this guidance from yesteryear, effectively. >> yeah, and that goes back to the very important point, when you politicize a disease, it gets out of control and i don't blame regular voters who get sort of caught up in all of this and believe the lies that they have been told, but at some point, and i believe that you know, any politicians trying to continue to play this game where they are politicizing it, i think it's going to bite them in the rear end and i think they are going to wind up paying a heavy price at the polls where they should pay the price, and because if this -- if this continues to be a political issue, people trying to promote covid as a political issue, they are gonna get punished. and that might be a good thing, and like i said, you know, the people that have been -- that have, you know, the citizens who have been punished by politicians trying to make a political issue out of this, you

know, they have real -- they have real gripes and they have real, you know, these are civil liberties at stake, and while politicians have never been particularly good at running healthcare issues, they are -- it is incumbent upon them to protect people's civil rights. >> jacqui: charlie hurt, always appreciate your time. >> great to see you. >> jacqui: so gillian, you know, it's interesting to me because he says anyone who, you know, goes in this direction, charlie says is going to pay the price, you know, politically in the midterms. we already saw that happen in virginia with the gubernatorial race. it's just kind of interesting this has not been -- the democrats have not caught on to that yet, that people have moved in a different direction. >> gillian: also seems an odd time to be branding face masks when less americans are wearing them today than any point in the last two and a half years. face mask mandates are nearly completely done in most parts of

the country right now. seems an odd choice. >> jacqui: good on rochelle walensky, rebranding the cdc, at least she's trying to do something. it is an important public health agency and if people cannot trust what's coming out of the cdc, what do you have left? not a lot. >> gillian: definitely don't want the last two and a half years to be repeated, whether it's any time soon or the next 100 years until the next plague comes our way. so, it was not that long ago, actually, that new york city bragged about being one of the safest big cities in the entire world. now what you are looking at here is not such an uncommon sight. people are starting to smoke meth and crack openly without fear on city streets. some residents are begging for help or even leaving the city to try and protect their families. >> jacqui: violent crime is spiking in a section of the

once again allowing a violent criminal to roam the streets and attack someone. a man in the bronx, 41 prior arrests, accused of punching a subway worker in the face and sending him to the hospital. new york post says it all, re-beat offender. where is the alleged attacker now? >> well, jacqui, the man accused of the attack, alexander wright, at this hour he is behind bars. he is being held in lieu of $5,000 bail, which is half of what prosecutors had sought in

this case. according to the new york post, wright lived in a homeless shelter and arrested dozens of times for assault and illegal drug possession. and he was set free even after police say he punched an asian woman in chinatown in an unprovoked attack. most recent victim is anthony nelson, transit system employee, hospitalized with a dislocated nose and broken collarbone. they say wright attacked nelson who came to the aid of passengers who were being harassed, and they say someone with dozens of priors should not be able to attack, and hitting one of the most trendy areas, families in chelsea say drug use and break-ins, make them want to move. and they say crystal meth is used near a school. the commanding officer gave an

example of a repeat offender with a lengthy criminal record allowed to remain free. >> she was in possession, she was observed smoking crystal meth under the scaffolding next to a school. she was brought in and she as per the law, she qualified for a desk appearance ticket and was right out of the station house a couple hours later. >> the canadian says parole arrests are up 37%, but he blames the bail reform laws for putting repeat offenders back on the streets. mayor adams describes the practice this way, catch, release, and repeat. jackie. >> jacqui: david lee miller in new york city, thank you so much. >> gillian: a new york congressman and self-proclaimed socialist, critics warned there would be consequences and after a couple years with bowman in

office the critics say they have proof. violent crime in his northern bronx district has surged nearly 30%. joe cardinale, take a look at the stats, put them on the screen for you. north bronx violent crime in 2022 in his district, there was 3,396 incidents, compared to 2021, 2,609, 30% year on year increase. are you surprised? >> not at all. i mean what did they think was going to happen? gillian, it's not defunding anymore, it's demant ling the police department, the whole system. when you have prosecutors that refuse to prosecute, judges go along with the bail reform, it's the perfect recipe for disaster and it's happening across the country. so, what did this congressman think was going to happen when he said oh, you know what, i go along with this program. if they held everybody accountable the way they hold

police accountable, the judges, the prosecutors, the congressmen, then things would change. but they are not held accountable. maybe they should make it a referendum at the election time and let the people decide what they think is right for the city, not just one person sitting up there, echoing everything said in congress across this country, and that's defund the police. they got what she deserved. >> gillian: and bowman has called for the dismantling of the entire criminal justice system, take a look at some tweets. system is cruel and inhumane cannot be reformed. defund the police, defund the system terrorizing our communities. and 2021, republicans want to defund every government program except for those that actively terrorize black and brown people, and october 14, 2019, it is time to disarm the police, something that d.c. mayor bowser has called for here. a couple times now when she has requested national guard troops,

she has mandated they remain unarmed while protecting americans in washington, d.c. streets. >> if it wasn't so serious it would be laughable. what do they think is going to happen? i mean, did they really want the national guard, and that's -- next thing is the communist state. i mean, let's be real about this. you need the police to be effective in their job, and they can't because everything the police do today is dictated by political policy. it's no longer what each police department does for the neighborhood they represent. it's whatever the politics of the day recommends. it's just ridiculous and the cops in new york, they don't have to worry about defunding, they are driving the cops out of here in hoards. and it's ridiculous that the police department that was once the premier job across this nation, all right, is now the laughing stock of the police departments and what are you going to do to rectify it? we need to get the right people in office that are going to get behind the police, let them

get -- take the handcuffs off the police. it bottlenecks at the police level, we will make the arrest as the captain said, make the arrest and then go to a prosecutor that says nah, it does not qualify for this, and makes it beyond the prosecutor, it goes to the judge and says no, no can do, put them back on the street. >> gillian: what are reasonable steps, sir, that police headquarters can take to reassure and regain the trust of americans who feel betrayed by the things that have happened over the last couple of years, the killing of george floyd, etc. what are the reasonable steps short of defunding the police that police departments can take? >> the police departments are constantly evolving with the things that happen in society today. especially in the nypd, the most diverse police department in the world. but yet they will hold the

entire 35,000 police officers accountable for maybe 1 or 2 actions of improper policing. so when you take that into consideration and when you take into consideration the politicians that go along with that, and the press that goes along with it, and just magnifies this, they see the police as a wrong force, which is not the case. but allow them to get into the communities and the schools and speak to the children. don't let them be the evil entity they are portrayed to be. we need to get the community policing back and let the community get behind the police and then the politicians will have to get behind it, that's their votes. >> gillian: we have to leave it there. thanks so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> any time, gillian. >> gillian: what the lieutenant got at here is precisely what americans across the country have been saying for the last

two years, the argument politicians in washington are having about the police force. the good, the bad, the ugly, fantastic does not reflect the argument people are having at home at the kitchen table. the choices are not either throw the police force away entirely, or give them free rein on city streets. it's nor nuanced than that. >> jacqui: the whole movement is such a boondoggle for democrats and now you have an effort for democrats up for re-election in the midterms to distance themselves for anyone for defunding the police. democrats are now vulnerable because of how the movement has really sort of defined the party in a lot of ways, even though you have folks at the top, including the president trying to say look, we are for the police, it's just interesting how, you know, people have really responded to it, especially because the people in the communities that have the most crime often want police

there. they are the one who is have to live with it, and people who have liberal arts degrees saying we don't think it's a great thing. there is a disconnect. anyway, other issues. the texas governor telling fox more than 800 migrants have come to the big apple over the last two weeks alone. and officials are warning they are going to keep on coming. >> gillian: new data on border arrests. the total adds up to the population of nearly every single major u.s. city. former acting i.c.e. director ron vitiello coming up next.

of leading a sanctuary city is now upset, saying the flood of migrants is more than the city can handle. this is something leaders in much smaller border towns say they have been dealing with for years. nate foy joins us from new york city. hi, nate. >> good afternoon. governor abbott's news tells fox news they sent over 800 migrants to new york city in the past two weeks on 14 busses, and this morning, 129 migrants and 40 children on them, and today we saw more family units than we have been seeing in previous busses. if we can pull up video of the group arriving in new york city, they pulled into the port authority before 8:30. immigrant affairs commissioner castro was there welcoming migrants into the sanctuary city and he revealed the city is providing not only housing and services, but also money to migrants. listen to this. >> we are providing some cash

assistance, metro cards, we are doing everything possible to welcome these families with dignity, with love. >> gillian, commissioner castro also accuses texas of not coordinating with new york city, and claims the charter bus company has a nondisclosure agreement. but that's something texas official in charge of these busses denies. >> we have no nondisclosure agreement, there is a state contract that is in place, and that state contract may talk about what they release in and out, but that would be something that was in place before this. >> and this may just be getting started. governor abbott tweeted this after our live shot yesterday "biden's open border policies created a crisis at you are o southern border, this crisis encourage g smugglers, cartel members and terrorists. texas will continue to take unprecedented action to secure our border until the federal government does its job.

now right now of course new york city and washington, d.c. are the two cities impacted by the bussing program. but multiple texas officials, including the texas governor himself, have said that other sanctuary cities may soon be impacted as more and more migrants flood across our southern border. back to you, gillian. >> gillian: nate foy, thank you, in new york city. >> jacqui: ron vitiello, former chief of the border patrol under president obama, and you hear numbers like this and rhetoric from the new york city mayor saying 4,000 migrants have gone through the shelter system are straining new york city, what do you say when you compare the numbers to the stats at the border this year. 1.82 million arrests at the border fiscal year 2022 so far, and that is about the size of

the population of houston. so imagine, you know, what a small city on the border is feeling if the new york city mayor is saying they are having a tough time dealing with it. i mean, how do you listen to that and not react? >> it's incredible how bad things are at the border. the failure of leadership in this white house, this administration in trying to control that border, they have taken every measure they can to step back from the rule of law and the mayor in d.c., the mayor in new york city is complaining about 4,000 people, when we are talking about 4 to 7,000 people every single night coming across the southwest borders. places like yuma, arizona, laredo, texas where i used to work, eagle pass, texas, we have seen the live shots on your programs. totally out of control. this president has failed us in afghanistan, he's failed us on energy policy, and he's

destroyed what control we had at the border which reversing policies that were working and now the mayors are seeing the brunt of it. and mayor adams and mayor bowser should get on the phone and call the white house, and ask what the plan is. are we going to let 2 million people come into the country, that's what the administration is encouraging, it needs to stop. the root cause of the problem. everybody wants to talk about the science and the root cause. this administration is failing to attempt to control the border. my former colleagues in i.c.e. and cbp want the tools they have in the previous administration, it keeps more drugs out of the country, more victims from being trafficked in the human trafficking scenario, protects those border communities and lowers the risks for all of us. as we can see, the people are not staying at the border, they are going all throughout the united states. >> jacqui: and getting rides also, just so some elected leaders can understand what people have been feeling at the border for years. but you know, it's not just the

talk of the administration that's not acting, it's not just the white house, you have homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas saying the border is secure, watching the images and the numbers coming in, it does not add up. the claim cannot be true. >> it does not add up and he knows better. he knows thousands and thousands of people are coming to the border, many are coming to the border never even seen by law enforcement. those that are released by cbp are released on a notice to appear and knows many of them will never show up to follow through on their asylum claim or go to an immigration port. they are coming here because they are encouraged by the policy and encouraged by sanctuary cities like new york and d.c., and the secretary knows the border is not secure. we have never had the kind of traffic coming across the southwest border than we are seeing in the history of that border and he knows it's not secure and for him to say others

is just dishonest. >> jacqui: we have to leave it there, we have run out of time. always appreciate you coming on. it's unbelievable we are still talking about this and there has not been anything to change it. ron vitiello, thanks so much. gillian, it's crazy to me that, you know, we do these interviews all the time, and we have obviously the pressure on the administration has been continuing, you know, we are seeing the numbers continue, watching the images continue, and nothing. and no change from the administration. really, it just fuels their critics who say that they don't care about this issue because you don't see them taking any action to resolve it. >> gillian: not only no change, no developments, but you would know this better than i sitting in the white house briefing every day, i've not heard anything from the administration when it comes to the vice president's task, which was to help sort out the under lying

root causes of the problem, working with south american countries. i haven't heard anything for months about her work. >> jacqui: the countries she visited did not show up to the summit of the americas to deal with the issue, take what you want from that. but whenever the border comes up, they talk about how it's a regional issue and they are working with partner countries to try to change this. but it's not just a regional issue. they can do something at the border if they want to, but it's a tough political issue for them maybe, i just wonder what it's going to take, some kind of real terror threat that comes in off the border when you've got folks like christopher wray, the fbi director saying this is a significant security risk for national security, what's it going to take before they take it seriously. >> gillian: yeah, good question. a fair question. we are going to move on to this now. some media outlets are changing their tone of the signing of the

so-called inflation reduction act. notable language shift taking place. are some outlets doubting the bill's immediate impact, what gives? >> gillian, raising the same question, why is it called the inflation reduction act if some experts warn it won't reduce inflation. even some lawmakers that helped write the inflation reduction act are now admitting that people hoping for price relief at the grocery store are going to have to wait. senator joe manchin told me yesterday they never claimed it would bring down costs for people right away. >> misleading to call this the inflation reduction act for americans who it's not going to make their grocery bill cheaper, not make every day goods cheaper for them. >> immediately it's not. we never said anything would happen immediately like turn the switch on and off. >> even though it's called the inflation reduction act, the climate perks in the package are

getting a lot of attention. president biden saying it's the most aggressive action ever taken to combat the climate crisis. the white house insists there are also things in the new law that will reduce inflation, even though the congressional budget office says what's in it will not do that. >> we are going to give people tax credits and rebates right at the point of purchase to buy energy efficient appliances, energy efficient dishwashers and washing machines, senior citizens, if, who are now paying thousands of dollars for their prescription drugs. if we cap that expense at $2,000, does that help them with inflation. i think they will tell you that it does. >> so, gillian, unless you are in the market for a solar panel or electric vehicle, you are not going to see savings today and the healthcare savings in this package will not go into effect until next year. gillian. >> gillian: thank you.

>> jacqui: college professors who tell their class racism is wrong and will not be tolerated could be penalized and could cost them their jobs. >> gillian: and what teachers are being told they have to do to prove they believe in diversity, equity and inclusion. for every veteran homeowner who needs money for their family, it's a new day in america. air force, pararescue, five years. home values are at record highs. the newday 100 va loan lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's total value. and take an average of $60,000 cash. 25% more cash than they'd get at a bank. united states marine corps, aviation maintenance,

>> gillian: critics say it sounds like something out of soviet era russia's playbook. administrators are forcing higher education workers to sign diversity, equity and inclusion statements in order to be eligible for job or promotion consideration. some university of california staff tell fox news they are outraged and are fighting back to preserve academic freedom. robert shiply, executive director for foundation of individual rights and expression. robert, university of oregon on the so-called dei push, in keeping with the goals of becoming an institution committed to anti-racism, the statements are now a part of recruitment and promotion and tenure process. faculty conclusions receive it

from the academic review process. >> the problem with requirements like these, they are all too often used as political litmus tests to make sure there are no dissenters on campus, makes professors and sometimes students, professors say things they don't believe and make sure only people with "approved views" are hired and promoted. this is going far beyond nondiscrimination, actually requiring discrimination based on potential faculty members and even current faculty members' political beliefs. >> gillian: from the perspective of the administrators, i cannot ask you to read their minds, why do you think they are making the leap and taking the statements from being something that is voluntary, nice to have, to something that has now become actually mandatory, something you have to do if in some instances you want to keep your

job or be considered for a promotion. >> well, i think, you know, there's a lot of sincerity involved there, they think it will make the university a better place, but there is also i think more cynicism -- cynical way of looking at it is to say that, you know, on campus, there still are guarantees of free speech of academic freedom, people are guaranteed the right under the constitution at public colleges to be able to speak, we rely on professors to do that. but able to on the way in make sure that everybody sort of agrees on the same political principles you have a lot less opportunity for people to actually come out and do that disagreeing, and so if you really want a place where some people are excluded, this is kind of a back doorway of doing that. >> gillian: part of the problem that parents of students, students themselves, even some faculty are having with the

university of california school system adaptation of this new policy is that what we just talked about, they are now mandatory, and that teachers who say, or faculty at schools who say we don't actually, we are not against diversity and inclusion, but we just want to stay out of it, we don't feel it's part of our purview as academic instructors are being penalized. do you think there is a way the school system can be helping those teachers to move forward here? >> yeah, i think that is what they are doing. i think the only thing they can do to help is make sure they include everyone, and that people have different views on this, they need to have a broad enough brush that people can be different. >> gillian: robert, we have to leave it there. thanks for joining us. it's interesting what we just heard him say, jacqui, he believes the school administrators have good, virtueous intentions here but

policies are sort of politically correct gone too far over to the other side, where you make these policies mandatory. seems like perhaps more effective mechanism to actually move schools forward and to help root out some discrimination would be to revert to a system where you can sign pledges and statements like this if you want to but not compelled. you cannot guarantee sincerity. >> jacqui: seems you are going after the wrong thing, signing things you may or may not believe, instead of going after bad behavior. >> gillian: police the people who need policing and leave everybody else. >> jacqui: we mentioned at the top of the show a crisis nearly every american is likely to feel the drought out west is getting biblical in proportion. worse than any drought happening in 2,000 years. what the lack of water might mean for your dollars to your

penne pasta, coming up next.

>> water levels are hitting extreme lows in two reservoirs. this is the worst that we've seen. now the federal government is stepping in to police how much water is allowed to be used from the colorado river, which is a source for tens of millions of americans. max gordon has more from lake mead in nevada. so max, it's so dry out there, the dead have been resurfacing. >> if you can believe it, right now where i'm standing used to be at the water's edge of lake mead. that was in 2000. you can see, it's a very different scene today. right now lake mead is nearly 190 feet below what is known as maximum capacity for the

reservoir. the bureau of reclamation says climate change has contributed to the 23 years of drought in the historic lake levels in lake powell and lake mead. recent rains have helped a little, but the run-off from snowpack has not been enough to keep up with demand. the amount of water released down the colorado river will be reduced in 203. in some places that rely on this water will be getting less of it. arizona and nevada are seeing their share of california water cut back. mexico, too. the importance of this water cannot be understated. 40 million americans rely it for drinking water and agriculture. something needs to be done to conserve the dwindling water supply. >> each year it comes down ten feet, this year it got down 25 feet.

it's crazy how low it is. >> i'd heart to say what will be like. we're praying for big snowfall. >> this week another grisly find here at lake mead. a fifth body turned up in a swimming area as this water continues to recede, more and more objects and bodies continue to be seen. jacqui, back to you. >> thanks, max. >> that does it for us this hour. i'm gillian turner. jacqui, great to be with you. "the story" starts now with shannon bream in for martha. >> thank you, gillian and jacqui. good afternoon. i'm shannon bream in for martha maccallum. lara trump is here ahead of a hearing on unsealing court documents for the mar-a-largo search. and liz cheney soon out of a job after losing the gop primary. she's one of the impeachment ten, a group of house republicans that voted in favor
