suspicion of attempted murder is now walking free. i'm john roberts. welcome to "america reports" and welcome back to you today. >> gillian: thank you so much. good to see you. >> aishah: i'm aishah hasnie. sandra has the day off. the man approached a man from behind and threw a punch to his head. >> john: the victim slammed his head on the concrete. doctors say he has a fractured skull, broken cheekbone and a brain bleed. >> aishah: wow, despite the attacker's extensive criminal history, the court cut him loose after downgrading his charges to a misdemeanor. >> john: fox team coverage starts now, jeff paul with some incredible video of a flash mob robbery on the west coast. >> aishah: begin with david lee miller live in new york city. david. >> david: aishah, the arrest of a convicted sex offender who was caught on camera viciously

beating and causing serious injury to a man in the bronx only to be released without bail has sparked outrage here in new york city. the video you are now about to see is difficult to watch. a week ago today, he walked out of a restaurant and put on what appears to be a pair of work gloves and without provocation he punches cortez in the head. he just left the same restaurant collapsed unconscious, fu is on parole after serving time for first-degree sex abuse. according to a court document, he told his parole officer "i'm in trouble, i had it someone and he's in the hospital, i don't know if he's dead, the police are looking for me, i was at the restaurant and i know the police are looking for me." following his release, as seen on video from the daily mail, he was combative with a photographer in the courthouse. after initially charged with attempted murder, the charges were downgraded to third degree assault and second degree harassment, both misdemeanors,

under recent changes to the bail system are not bail eligible. >> certain crimes such as the one this individual was charged with do not allow a judge to set bail. they are not considered bail-setting offenses, and until the bail reform law itself is reformed or changed, then these people are going to be allowed to be set free without bail being set. >> david: the victim of the attack remains hospitalized after brain surgery. as crime continues to surge in new york city, republicans, as well as a number of democrats are now calling for changes to new york's bail reform laws. a local newspaper headline put it this way saying that the city essentially feels sucker punched by the judicial system. back to you. >> aishah: i don't blame those folks that are saying that. david lee miller, thank you. >> john: former nypd lawsuit,

and professor, a lot of people are asking the question how does this guy walk with a misdemeanor charge? >> well, good afternoon, john, good afternoon to your listeners. this is a problem and evolves from albany. the head of the state assembly, karl hastings, on board with the bail reform. and governor hochul has not taken appropriate action. rewind to this incident, we have a predicate felon that knocked an individual out and released on bail. and also question the bronx district attorney in reducing the charges. should have clearly been charged with a felony. it speaks to the testament of public safety and how our elected officials in the state of new york are not doing what's necessary to keep us safe. >> john: i wanted to talk to you about the charges, bail reform is one thing, but the way that he's charged is puzzling a lot of people. the victim is in critical condition in the hospital, he

had brain surgery, he's got a fractured skull, brain bleed, fractured cheekbone as well, totally unprovoked attack, no engagement between these two men. how does that not add up for this fu gentleman as felony assault? >> this was clearly a felony assault, john. it does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. when we look to the bronx d.a. reducing the charge, what is the rule of law and how is it being upheld in the county of the bronx? the bronx d.a. is not on board with that, and that said as we move forward it really once consistent with the inability to abide by the social contract by our elected officials not only the bronx but the city of new york as a whole. and a national problem with the bail reform and we as common citizens are suffering as a result. >> john: i want to put up a graphic on the screen and this

was a guy who was clearly in the radar of law enforcement because he had been jailed for sexual abuse and required to check infrequently with the justice system. he was out there after serving time in prison for the sexual abuse charge. how is it that somebody with a record like this is not held? how is it that they are charged with something that is not bail eligible? >> this is a clear miss appropriation of the laws in the state of new york. i also question the parole system. this was a parolee. the officer could have violated the individual and bring him back to custody, it did not happen. it moves forward with the trajectory of what we see that is not working for us in the connection of public, the public safety sentiment for us as new yorkers. >> john: in recent weeks another very similar attack like this

that was hoisted upon kim glass, former olympic volleyball player out of nowhere hit her with an iron bar, she was on "america's newsroom" yesterday on fox. what she said. >> we don't have faith in our system to keep us safe, to keep violent repeat offenders off the streets, and to protect us. what scares me is maybe people are going to take things into their own hands, and that is something that we don't want. but when you can't trust the people who are in charge to do their job and keep these repeat offenders off the streets, this is a scary situation. >> john: two questions there, how can people have faith in the justice system and what can people do. places like california where george gascon, there is a recall process. in new york there is not. the governor could remove the d.a.s but no indication she's going to do that. how do you have faith in the

justice system and what can citizens do about it? >> john, we look at these wayward district attorneys or the criminal justice system that is allowing a catch and release stream, we go back to as you mentioned, john, gascon, the district attorney. the los angeles residents read the tea leaves of what happened in san francisco with the d.a. was removed, based on the recount. something similar is going to happen in philadelphia, it's just destined for us to happen here in new york, in connection with the manhattan district attorney alvin brag. that being said, something needs to be done by governor hochul. she has failed to take the appropriate steps and measures to remove these district attorneys and get bail reform off the table and keep these violent offenders in prison -- i should say jail, and ongoing process in all democratic cities throughout the country. >> john: no question, a lot of people outraged when they see

this guy walking free after what happened in recent days with that fella who got sucker punched. appreciate you coming on. >> aishah: crime does not end there. absolutely stunning video out of los angeles. police are on the lookout for dozens of looters. you can see are just ransacking this 7-11 in south l.a. as part of a flash mob. jeff, how did this all start? >> yeah, investigators believe just before this group took over the store they were engaged in a street takeover, that's where groups of people block the road and then do stunts with their cars. police say their attention quickly shifted to a nearby 7-11 store. and dozens of people crammed into that store in south l.a., they took food, drinks, cigarettes, and even lottery tickets.

up to 100 people were inside the store. some trashing everything in sight. police believe at least two people jumped over-the-counter and started throwing items to people in the crowd as you can see in the video. a store employee fearing for his life ran to the back of the room while this unfolded. police are calling it a flash mob looting moment and are worried if they don't send a message with arrests, it might keep happening or get worse. >> we want to prevent this from becoming a new trend where they think they show up and take over a street or freeway or any part of the city that they can do whatever they want, come into a store and take what they want. we are here to say it's not going to happen. >> so far no word of any arrests just yet, but police are hoping someone will see this video and help them identify some of the suspects, and aishah, even after the store takeover, police say some in that very group went back out and blocked lanes of traffic at the nearby 110

freeway. >> aishah: thank you, jeff. john, i have witnessed something like that, not as crazy as that, but in new york city, a bunch of kids ran to a 7-11, robbed the place and look at the owners, and they have this look on their face. almost ashamed and embarrassed in front of the customers that are paying and you think how can these people open the stores and come into work when this happens. >> john: it's crazy what's happening in america, you see people smash and grab, looting, chicago, the miracle mile, and this situation, you have to wonder what the whole defund the police movement has done across america and how do you get it back to where it was. >> aishah: and think about the owners, too. a lot of those folks are immigrants that moved to the country for a better life and this is what they are getting. >> john: summer almost over, sorry to bring you that news.

the house flips rather than the senate. senate are statewide. candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome. >> aishah: so guy, first of all, is it candidate quality, is it something else, is it lack of engagement, is it what's going on with the former president, the chaos around him, what do you make of those comments, what do you think it is? >> good afternoon. i think mitch mcconnell is a cool customer. he is not prone to hyperbole and if you dissect each word he said in that sound bite it's hard to quibble with the veracity and the analysis of what mcconnell is putting out there. i don't think he's throwing in the towel, i think he's looking at the current situation and there are some senate races around the country where republican nominees have suspect polling support at the moment, suspect fundraising numbers, and he's just saying that's a reflection of the snapshot reality right now.

on the other side of this, though, and i think he would totally agree with this if you spoke to him, there are countless examples in recent election cycles where the polling position, especially of republicans in races like this, in august, were very poor reflections of where things ended up in october and then of course in november, and we are living through an election season where the democrats should be in really big trouble, just looking at the fundamentals of this race. presidential approval, the economy, inflation, right track, wrong track, it's a bad situation for the party in power. i'm not sure that's going to change between now and november but we'll see, you know, if these two issues collide, what he's concerned about and the fundamentals of the race, we are going to find out which one prevails in about two and a half months. >> aishah: guy, is there a trump factor, he kind of made a dig at the former president because they are primarily trump candidates in the states that

could flip, and of course we know that democrats have been spending millions of dollars in some of these races to try to prop up the trump candidates because they find them to be easier candidates in november. do you think that's a factor? >> it could be, and for the democrats sometimes it's be careful what you wish for. if it turns into a big wave, i suspect it might, certainly on the house side, some people the democrats have been boosting could end up in power. so, careful there. i think that all the precriminations of people winning and losing backed by trump or mcconnell or not, it is insanely premature. we are in the doldrums of summer in august, and republicans underperformed in some races then the recriminations may make some sense and have that conversation. i think doing that right now would be poor analysis, which does not say there are no red

flags for the republicans they may not be doing as well as they should be under these circumstance, it's still early. >> aishah: i wonder if you will talk about the house, too, a poll shows practically a dead heat, 41% to 41% in terms of where the house could land this november and you can see over the course of the summer that margin has greatly diminished for the gop. what do you make of that? what's happening there, guy? >> well, point number one, if there is a tied electoral ballot, generic ballot on election day, that almost always shows good things for republicans. if they are not trailing substantially, that is usually good news for the gop, so a tie, all else being ertainly mean th republicans win back the house. i would also point out, 41-41, we can all do t math. there are a lot of undecided voters in that universe, and if you dig a little deeper into the polling, the undecided voters

heavily cut against president biden and disapprove of him strongly on balance. so if you want to get a sense of maybe where the supposedly undecided voters may not be dialed in yet might break, especially among the late breakers, independents, moderates, i think we have good news, potentially good news for the gop. republicans should not take anything for granted. but the doom saying and the bed wetting among some political strategist is too much. >> aishah: thank you for your $0.02, appreciate it as always. >> john: he's got a way with words. bed wetting is just too much. >> aishah: he's got a point, we have two months left, that is forever in washington and politics, anything could happen. but i've got to say, when you look at some of these races, they should have been easy. nevada, everyone called cortez

mastro -- and it's not that way. >> john: time to make headway and shore up public opinion from earlier this year, find out how it goes. >> aishah: we'll keep watching it. >> john: tensions rising in ukraine as putin's invasion goes on, in crimea, even russia itself, and concerns are growing over a potential attack on a nuclear plant in the south of the country. alex hogan is live in kyiv. what's going on? >> john, nuclear threats today in both ukraine and russia are blaming each other saying they are each creating provocations outside of europe's largest nuclear power plant where the u.n. says there needs to be the creation of a demilitarized zone. >> if the world does not provide this, it means you can throw the entire international documents of nuclear and radiation safety

into the trash. >> the kremlin calling the proposal unacceptable, arguing the removal of forces will make the site even more vulnerable. ukraine's state nuclear company claims russia is planning to turn off the power plant and disconnect them from the power grid. russian officials say they might shut down the facility if continued shelling persists. evacuations are underway in russia northeast of ukraine. residents in two villages were evacuated after flames ripped through ammunition depot, and follows more explosions on the peninsula we have seen last week. but shelling today also took place in the eastern donetsk region of ukraine killing five people and wounding ten others. ukrainians who live on the front lines in those areas gather today to cry and pray for peace. >> people are more concerned now. they don't have the possibility

to even buy food or medicine. people don't know what they should achieve, not just tomorrow, but today, or even if their house should be shelled. >> the pentagon announced a new military aid package for ukraine, $775 million and specifically it is drones, cars, what ukrainians say they need, more ammunition. john. >> john: new analysis shows ukraine is doing well and russia not so much. alex, thank you. >> aishah: new evidence emerging in the case that inspires a hit netflix documentary "making a murderer." the convicted killers lawyer says he is innocent and evidence of a new suspect. will there be a new trial, too. >> john: orders the doj for a redacted affidavit in the

says what gets released, and it's still an if, my not be enough to satisfy concerns where the investigation is going. we heard from lawyers from multiple media outlets arguing for a judge to release in detail, as they are looking to discover, classified or top secret were at mar-a-lago and why they were still held there. the judge says he understands why some materials should be kept confidential. believes also the public has a right to know about what the government has been up to. he did set that deadline for next thursday for the justice department to submit its proposed redactions. >> i think judge reinhart under starts the public interests in these materials so i think he'll make a swift decision. i'm not going to hold him to a certain time frame, i just don't know. >> now, the justice department told this judge yesterday that this is still very much a sensitive matter and that their investigation is still in the early stages. federal prosecutors also fear if

too much information is released, witnesses could be put at risk and in danger. they do not expect a ton of information to be released. >> there is plenty of parts of an affidavit, you can generally release, including parts known to the trump team. you are not going to reveal anything that they don't know. >> the former president was not at yesterday's hearing, he's in new jersey where he's been spending much of the summer. we are looking to see if he has new reaction. he has posted a few times on his social media account but otherwise keeping kind of a low profile. >> aishah: interesting. mark meredith, live for us, thank you so much. >> john: lovely view from the island there. joining us, fox news contributor and former u.s. attorney, andy mccarthy.

will the redactions be judicious or pages of blacked-outlines. >> pages of blacked-outlines, at least in the first rounds, as one of your commentators said in that piece just now, there are a lot of things in an affidavit that they can reveal without actually having to give any substantive information. what people want to know, what was the probable cause, what is the basis for what they did, the warrant and the search, and the crimes they lay out, and the thing people want to know, why this and why now. i think it's very peculiar for the justice department to be saying this was an early stage of their investigation. there had never been a search warrant done in history on a former president of the united states. one would think that that would not be something you would resort to early in the

investigation, you would want to exhaust other possibilities. so very curious. >> john: you think that might be one of the last things you would want to do. so you brought this up, and the doj was arguing in court yesterday revealing the contents of the probable cause affidavit would be a road map for the investigation and expose confidential sources, expose potential witnesses as well. do you believe the judge would say we can keep this in here and would not expose the road map or the witnesses and source, but will give us information to need to understand what went on here. >> i mean, there's a number of things they could do along those lines. they could propose a substitution where they, you know, give a narrative explanation without having to get into the sources of the information and so on, and john, it's important to remember that this is not information, this is not like an fisa affidavit,

right, it's not a national security case. this is information we ordinarily get to see eventually, you know. everybody seems to be whipped up on this idea that if we don't get it next thursday it sinks down a black hole and we never see it. what typically happens in an investigation and i think you just alluded to this in terms of the timing is that at the end of the investigation, that's when prosecutors and agents like to do their searches and arrests, and then everything gets disclosed from the defense and discovery and we find out what's in it when the defense lawyers make motions to suppress evidence and make other motions. so i think we will eventually see this and what could happen because of this pressure to be more transparent is it could make the justice department move up their timeline, you know, to the extent what they are worried about is they have avenues of investigation that would be blown if they became public, they may put the pedal to the

metal and try and get finished. >> senator grassley said he has some whistleblower allegations deeply rooted political infection in the fbi. here is what he said this morning. listen here. >> there's evidence of the handle one thing one way for democrats and another way, thing for republicans. there's plenty of evidence of political bias and the people of this country should have extraordinary confidence in the fbi. >> john: he says political bias in the fbi has tainted both donald trump and the hunter biden investigations. your thoughts on that. >> i think it's deeper than that, though, john. you know, the fbi started out as the embodiment of j. edgar hoover and an entire history of politicized behavior that we hoped in the 1980s and 1990s the bureau had kind of grown out of. but i think in the era of

jihadist terrorism, they lost the police force and became the intelligence force and a very different discipline and i think it has given them less respect for the due process standards, the bill of rights protections that are really the heartbeat of criminal law enforcement. and that's what i think you have to worry about, that the bureau's culture has changed, and that they are overly comfortable getting involved in politics when we should want them a million miles away from politics. >> john: a week from now we will know what the doj is looking for. have a great weekend. so any thoughts on what you think the doj will do? >> aishah: maybe, maybe we'll know in a week. >> john: we'll know what the doj wants, they will submit redactions. >> aishah: i think timing is so important here, and especially for the trump team, the longer this takes, the longer it gives the trump team and republicans something to talk about, right. >> john: exactly. and you know, you wonder what

the former president's play is here. supporting the release of the information while at the same time not going into court to support it. is he saying release it release it, knowing it's never going to get released or does he want it released. good poker player. >> aishah: ok. sweltering summer forcing some states out there to tell residents to cut back on cranking up the a.c., say what? yeah, they want to keep the power running. how dire are the power grid problems? say it ain't so. >> john: if you can't turn on the a.c., what are you going to do about your electric car. and as cartels smuggle in drugs and migrants, fox news obtaining new pictures how far they will go to disguise themselves in the desert. live at the border coming up next. >> where's the coordination between the state and the federal government? aren't we supposed to be working this together? seems like the federal government is doing whatever it wants to do without any types of checks and balances.

>> aishah: he should move at this point. >> john: the property is probably worthless. >> aishah: that's true. >> john: the border surge turning deadly for migrants. on average, one person has died every day, so far in august, due to the extreme heat and treacherous conditions crossing the rio grande. casey stegall is in eagle pass, texas. how busy has it been today? >> john, it has been another crazy day, really nonstop. since we got here this morning, we have seen ourselves at least 500 or so migrant encounters and that is in three separate groups happening in different places. let's show you the first one, all in the span, by the way, of just about two hours, just as the sun came up, it revealed a group of about 200 right here in eagle pass around the same time one showed up not far from this spot in the location where we have been posted all week, about

16 miles further up the road in normandy, texas. about 100 there, including a child in a wheelchair. and back over here in eagle pass, 30 minutes later, additional 200 to 250. and in the last 24 hours and one sector alone, more than 1700 encounters. >> at the very beginning of the crisis when the border patrol hit 800 they would freak out and go we can't take anymore. now the number is 2,000. what happens next year? 3,000? 4,000? there is no end in sight. >> agents also tell us they are encountering smugglers wearing a gilly suit, used by hunters or the military as camouflage to blend into their surroundings. of course for the cartels, one more example of the methods they

are using and the steps they are taking to try and evade being captured. john. >> john: resorting to any method they can to not get caught. casey stegall in eagle pass. thank you, great reporting. >> aishah: the cdc and how they handled the pandemic. will we see real change? marc siegel sat down with rochelle walensky. >> chapter of the nation's largest teachers union turning parents into villians, comparing them to extremists in a new ad. how far will they go in demonizing moms and dads who just want a say in their kids' education.

education. so extremists start attacking our schools, that's not who we are. people who only want to fight to score political points should take that somewhere else. >> aishah: ok, yeah, that took a turn. bring in cory deangelo, senior fellow at the american federation for children. cory, thanks for joining us, appreciate it. video has almost 100,000 views in five days. the comment section is closed, no surprise there, i wonder why. when i hear the ad and shows what appear to be parents, you can only imagine are parents, and they call them extremists, i think to myself haven't we been here before? >> yep. >> aishah: and it has not worked? >> yeah, they did not learn anything at all from terry in virginia when he said i don't think parents should be telling teachers what they should teach. and the teacher union did not learn a thing to label parents as domestic terrorists.

26 states pulled funding from the so-called national organization and so look, the more that the teachers' unions overplay their hand and keep spewing this anti-parent rhetoric it's going to lead to more educational freedom in the long run. i guess they are just so drunk on power and have been for so long they can't reverse course, but now we are going to free every single-family from the clutches of the teacher's unions once and for all and nothing they can do about it. parents have woken up, they are pushing back and are never going back to sleep. and the teachers' unions are essentially injecting caffeine into the vein into parents, parents want education, not indoctrination. and the union said parents can take it somewhere else, you know what, let's take them up on that offer. the government schools in new jersey spend about 24 t thousand dollars per student, average private tuition is less than $15,000 in new jersey, let that

funding fall with the child so the parents can find something that works for them. maybe then the unions will focus on the basics, education as opposed to indoctrination, and will not label parents as extremists anymore. >> i want to get the response, they did respond to fox for a comment and say this, while parents are never referred to in any negative or critical way, ok, and go on to say we are very concerned, however, by the small but loud group of people who are doing dishonest and dangerous things. but i mean, when you look at the ad, there are two ads, the second ad does not show the parents we saw in the ad we just showed, so there are two different ads. it's clearly, looks like there are parents there. what do you think of their response? they are saying, we are not blaming parents. >> they are gas lighting. why would they include pictures in the short video, they are back pedalling after the pushback from the public, and look at their actions, not just

their words. unions push for funding, radical ideas in the classroom. they are extremists of which they speak. their own poll last month found that if anything, democrats are more responsible for politicizing education than republicans. so, talk about a massive l for the teacher's union, their own poll backfiring on them last month. and if they truly cared about parental rights and didn't view parents in a negative way, maybe they would support parent rights to take their kids education dollars to an education provider that works. >> aishah: cory, i think we can all agree at the end of the day it's the kids caught in the middle, hurt and suffer through this the most. kids are very smart and they can tell what's going on, they can feel the tension and really wish there was more outreach on both sides. all right, cory. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> john: aishah, new at 2:00, the white house making the case that biden is a transformational

president after passing a series of spending bills. what do americans think about that? we are live in iowa with what voters are most concerned about this election season, and brian kilmeade is going to weigh in on all of that. plus, tom dupry, and a murder case turned netflix hit, and marc siegel sits down with rochelle walensky as "america reports" rolls on. known. uh, how come we don't call ourselves bikers anymore? i mean, "riders" is cool, but "bikers"...is really cool. -seriously? -denied. can we go back to meeting at the rec center? the commute here is brutal. denied. how do we feel about getting a quote to see if we can save with america's number one motorcycle insurer? should flo stop asking the same question every time? -approved! -[ altered voice ] denied!

second hour. john roberts. good to be spending friday afternoon with you. >> aishah: you, too. aishah hasnie in for sandra smith who has a day off. and an interview all new at 2:00. >> john: america's heartland, iowa state fair is in full swing and so is inflation. >> aishah: corn dogs, funnel cakes, cotton candy are more expensive, and that's what matters to them. >> anything that benefits your smaller communities, you know, your local iowa middle of the u.s., you know, decisions, those are important to me. >> finances, you know, economy. definitely the economy the way it's headed now. >> aishah: it's tough to put food on the table but to hear the white house chief of staff say you would have no idea americans are actually hurting.

listen. >> we have a presidency the president has delivered the largest economic recovery plan since roosevelt, largest since eisenhower, healthcare bill since johnson and the largest climate change bill in history. >> aishah: ok. democrats aiming to score big off that massive spending plan, some even sounding very optimistic for the first time in months. >> john: we have fox team coverage, brian kilmeade on biden's record in the midterms, grady trimble in iowa, 2024 hopefuls are making pit stops. >> aishah: alex is live at the white house. >> now that the president has signed the inflation reduction act, democratic groups are looking to sell this to voters. politico was the first to report that $10 million so far has been pumped into a tv ad campaign as this write-up put it, to define

legislation in the finds of voters. politico playbook deep dive podcast, ron klain said this about the upcoming midterms. >> i think it will be less about his approval rating and more about the choice between democrats and republicans and i think the choice is well positioned for the democrats. >> he feels the president's party can deliver. but republicans like mitch mcconnell feel voters are not going to be distracted by a bill with a name it can't live up to. >> so they passed a $750 billion package. laughably labelled the inflation reduction act. >> he calls it laughable. according to the congressional budget office, the impact it will have on inflation is right around 0 for at least two years. and since the signing, the focus has been more on climate, taxes

and healthcare. the biden administration admits the immediate cost to impact for american families will be, well, limited. >> some of the provisions of the inflation reduction act will help immediately, the provisions that give consumers tax rebates or credits for going out and buying energy efficient heaters or appliances, enacted immediately. >> so if an american family is in the market or positioned to make an energy efficient home makeover, he says the impact will be felt "across time," but not a whole lot of time left until election day. aishah. >> aishah: thank you, alex. >> john: brian kilmeade, "fox and friends" co-host and host of "one nation," saturday evenings 8:00, we will talk about who is coming up, but first of all, brian, thought not long ago the midterms were going to be a blood bath for the democrats but that sentiment is changing some

what, and democrats are sure pushing the narrative that hey, you know, ethel merman once said, everything is coming up roses. >> brian: if you ask the people are they on a role, yeah, i'm on a role. the question is, are they really on a roll. still having trouble getting baby formula, and delayed because of supply chains, and 50% whether you get on and off a plane at the time in which they pledge. extreme trouble in that area. some is his fault, some isn't. let's look at what he says are successes. there's a bipartisan infrastructure deal from last year. there is the rescue plan, most people think fuels inflation, including larry summers. and then the other plan, the chips plan, if you want the commerce department to fuel innovation, that will be the first time. but there was some republican support for that. however, the last plan you mentioned, $750 billion, they were so proud of it, they had to

mislabel it like the vikings did before columbus, tell you things were not as they appear. and now it comes out and say it's a climate change bill. the middle of inflation at 9%, 40-year high, is this the time to come out with a pie in the sky, climate change bill when we don't have the infrastructure to handle it, it's not going to allow gas prices, oil prices, marine fuel to go down, diesel fuel to go down, that is -- nothing will affect the people and it's brought up and everything was well said by ron klain. all that is true. difference between f.d.r. and l.b.j., there was a civil rights crisis that needed to be addressed, coming out of a depression and into a war. f.d.r. said this is what the american people want. they want programs, a place to work, get the defense department up in order to fight. can you please tell me where we need solar panels and we need wind mills in order to make gas cheaper, vacations matter, people's home prices go down. he's addressing his agenda. give him a check mark.

the question is, the american people will answer this, in november, is he going what the american people want him to do, not politician, not politico, not paul krugman in the "new york times" but what the american people want and approval rating still under 40%, early indication the answer to that question. >> john: at the same time, brian, the tide seems to be turning, leading mitch mcconnell to say well, maybe we will not do as well in the senate come november 8th we thought as we might. >> probably a greater likelihood the house flips than the senate. senate races are different, they are statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome. >> brian: the crux there. >> john: candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome. mcconnell does not have a lot of faith in some of the candidates that the primary process has put

forward for the general election. >> brian: match-ups, and boxing, don't tell me what kind of boxer that person is, tell me who they are fighting and how their styles match up. oz against fetterman. kelly against blake masters. if mitch mcconnell wants to be majority leader, he has to show more positivity, whatever you think of kevin mccarthy, always talking positive. you want to lift people up. sounds like he is into the trump candidates, not my candidates, as opposed to close ranks and win. >> john: let's put up the wisconsin race, choice for senator, 50% say barnes, 46% for johnson. arizona, choice of voting, mark kelly has the edge over blake masters, 50-42. mcconnell has nothing to do with that, that's what people are thinking. >> brian: masters a trump pick,

kelly, done almost nothing in the senate, now speaking up on the border. when you think arizona, they vote that way. see what masters can do, he has a lot of talent. the other side, ron johnson always trails. he was at 38% at this point i think last time he won six more years, and more money is poured in against ron johnson than any other senator in the country, right loves him, the left hates him because he's in their face when it couldms to covid-19, every step of the way when it comes to hunter. they want him out in a very purple state. so the fact that he's only trailing by a couple points i don't think is that surprising. he always rallies strong at the end, how he won the last few times. >> he has the edge on enthusiasm as well. who is coming up on "one nation" this weekend? >> brian: you were on vacation at the time, i went down to visit elvis, 45 years since his death, the movie is out, the

impact in memphis in part two, and mike roe, to find out about quietly quitting. we bring it to a new level and tom cotton will answer the question, is he running for president. and trey joins me, almost too much show. i'm worried i can't get it in and have to call dan and say dan, can i take your first 15 minutes. >> john: yeah, i'm sure he would not mind giving you 15 minutes at all. looking forward to what tom cotton has to say, wondering who is the first to throw in their hat 2024 republican side, i thought cotton, we'll see. >> brian: john roberts knows everything. >> john: you clearly did your homework. >> aishah: i know about pork cops and politics at the iowa state fair, some potential candidates are making their grounds. grady is live at the fair in des moines, iowa. so when the candidates come for the corn dogs, you have to pay

attention, grady. >> you do, aishah. it might be dizzying for some people to be looking ahead already to 2024. i know some of the voters, i've spoken to here think it's too early for that. but, there seems to be some people who might be running for president in 2024 coming through, visiting the state fair this week. officially former vice president mike pence is coming here to stump for senator chuck grassley, and if re-elected, he'll be 89 years old. the visit from the former vice president is fueling speculation he might be eyeing 2024, adding to that fuel, the speculation is that he was in new hampshire earlier in the week, and pence's schedule is not the only one that looks like a presidential election schedule, desantis is

in pennsylvania and ohio this afternoon after stops in new mexico and arizona just last week. john mentioned senator tom cotton. he was in new hampshire on tuesday and senator ted cruz was in iowa, also campaigning for grassley on wednesday. and finally, outgoing maryland governor larry hogan, people see as a more moderate possibility came here to the fair a week ago. all of these names have been bounced around and floated as possible 2024 presidential candidates. it's worth noting that the democratic national committee already came out swinging this morning, they held a virtual press conference ahead of former vice president mike pence's visit, bashing his political views, but we should point out that the dnc has not yet decided whether it will keep the iowa caucuses as first in the nation in 2024 while republicans have, so that might give republicans eyeing a presidential run a leg

up, they know they need to come here because it will be important in 2024 like it has been historically. aishah. >> aishah: great point. go enjoy yourself. thanks, grady. >> john: talked about for decades why iowa is first, and the democrats change that up, that would be big. >> aishah: huge. your point about who might announce first, i think doug made the point and important and interesting, nobody wants to go first because then you are seen as more primary challenger, and congested feel because then you are not targeted. >> john: and everybody is waiting to see what donald trump is going to do and when he will do it. speculation he would come out and say something on the 4th of july, i don't think he will say anything until after the 8th, and then he may wait.

>> john: i have a good read on him but don't know -- >> aishah: a federal judge orders partial release of the mar-a-lago affidavit, some critics out there doubt we are going to learn anything new once the justice department is done with the redactions. >> john: new york city getting a sample of the migrants in the big apple. what are new york officials saying now. 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, five years. that's why veterans from every branch... united states army, military police, eight years.

just having a good time with her friends, yes, there are drinks, don't know if there are drugs. the video went viral and led to accusations of drug use. the prime minister denies allegations, she says she took a drug test to clear up doubts and the results are expected back in about a week. ok, so she's young, what -- >> john: 35 years old, getting her groove on. but i watched the clip, and she's obviously speaking in swedish, and the translation said that in the translation she said that video was private, it was never intended to go public. you are the prime minister of sweden, don't let anybody take a video in the first place. >> aishah: john, it happens. you are getting your groove on, getting down with your bad self and then you regreat it. >> john: and now sees the repercussions. i'm glad when i was her age there was no such thing as an iphone camera. the southern border crisis makes

its way north, two more bus loads of migrants arriving in new york city. the influx of asylum seekers is fueling the political battle between democratic-led cities and border states. what's the response today from new york city officials? >> this latest bunch of -- batch of migrants arriving in new york, the lone star state governor is forcing the new york city mayor to live up to the sanctuary claims, take in a small sliver of what's pouring across the southern border. another two busses from texas arrived early this morning at the big apple port authority terminal. carried nearly 100 migrants who crossed into the u.s. illegally from points south of the u.s.-mexico border, youngest just ten months old. >> welcoming city, we are here to support families, especially those children that are arriving in larger numbers every time,

and we want to make sure that they have the resources that they need. >> more than 6,000 migrants have arrived in new york city since may, about 1,000 of them school-aged children, according to officials. as texas governor greg abbott, tired of no action from washington to deal with the crisis, he brings the crisis to the doorstep of democratic city politician, and advocates accuse abbott of using people as political pawns and the city is pouring resources into helping, providing a mobile migrant health unit and allowing a new initiative to enroll children of asylum seekers into public schools. >> we are helping families enroll their children in school, walking with them from their shelter to nearby enrollment sites. helping them get online to enroll virtually. and getting backpacks and other

materials into their hands. >> at a time when rents continue to grow here in new york city, the mayor's office has asked 13 hotels to open their doors to the migrants to provide shelter and housing and other services to asylum seekers. >> john: thank you so much. >> aishah: americans are hoping to learn more about the raid on the former president's mar-a-lago home that could be left hanging out there. a federal judge giving the justice department until next week to propose redactions to the probable cause affidavit, but there's no clue, really, how long the judge could take to review those recommendations. bring in tom, former deputy assistant attorney general. good to see you on this friday. i want to ask you, the trump legal team here thinks the doj is going to redact everything except for the words and and the. what's your assessment? what do you think the doj will do here? >> i tend to agree with the

trump legal team on this one, aishah. look, the justice department keeps its card close to its vest, never likes unsealing affidavits that support search warrants in any case, and particularly so here. i think the justice department is going to give the federal judge a proposal that leaves very, very little open for public transparency. i think they are going to redact the bulk of the affidavit and the rest of us are going to be limited to studying, trying to read between the lines and figuring out what appears in all the blacked out words we see. >> aishah: okay. i get what you are saying and i hear you, don't you think we are in a different place, a lot of folks out there, maybe many that are watching right now. i mean, just have lost a lot of trust in the government, including the doj. so, doesn't this put the burden on the doj to somehow win back the trust of the american people, specifically in this case, everyone has called unprecedented. >> it absolutely is

unprecedented, and look, i think the justice department appreciates they need to get public trust, the reason why attorney general garland explained the reasons for the raid. i think that's why the justice department was willing to unseal the warrant itself, but whether that interest in regaining public trust extends to unsealing this affidavit, i just don't think they are going to go there. i think they are going to give the judge a very, very heavily redacted document to withstand all the public criticism that will result in that. >> aishah: something for the attorney for the media organizations that brought this request said yesterday was that it all centers around what's meaningful for the american people, and really stuck out to me because she said that it's all of us that get to decide that. is the doj thinking of it that way? who gets to decide what's meaningful in these documents? >> ultimately the judge will make the call. and look, i thought the judge

actually did a very good thing the other day, the justice department came in and told the judge do not release a single word of this affidavit. the judge to his credit rejected that. he said not so fast, justice department. the public has a very strong interest, in fact a right to public access court documents. that extends to everything, including affidavits. now, look, there can be reasons why you keep affidavits under seal, you don't want to compromise the ongoing investigation, but the judge rejected the blanket assertion of confidentiality and said we are going to go through it line by line and what can be shown to the american people. >> aishah: it came as a big surprise to legal minds and to me, maybe we'll be surprised in just about a week. tom, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> john: potential new evidence in a gruesome killing made famous by netflix. why the defense in the "making a murderer" case is pushing for a

new trial and potential new suspect, what they are saying. >> aishah: millions of people are told to take drastic new steps to curb electricity as california's power grid pushed to the brink. oh, oh.

according to a court filing this week, back in november of 2005, a witness called the local sheriff's office when reports came out that police found theresa hallbeck's rav4 on the property of avery's salvage yard. a paper deliveryman told police early in the day he had seen avery's nephew, bobby and another man pushing an rv on to the salvage yard. that recorded call was never given to avery's defense team at trial and his attorneys argue it links dacy to the murder, and had evidence to frame his uncle for the murder. they argue that testimony along with another new witness who say they saw the car down the road the day before contradicts testimony at avery's initial trial the rav4 never left the property and avery was the last person to see hallbeck alive.

and dacy testified he was the only person home the day she disappeared, and they tried to link him to the murder in previous court filings which did not get anyings tra. we have to wait and see if a judge feels the same as well. john. >> john: update for us, garrett, thank you. >> aishah: bring and criminal defense attorney to unpack all of this. i remember how gripping this netflix documentary was, it was a while ago, 2015, and really had the attention of the entire country but it's been a while. let's get people up to speed here. this is a new name, bobby dacy, i don't think he was featured much in the netflix series. what is avery's lawyer alleging here when it comes to bobby? >> ok, so i'm going to go out on a limb here and say this time should be the charm for steven avery, because bobby dacy did

appear in the netflix documentary but not very much, and the defense team is saying look, not only do we now have evidence directly linking this other person, bobby, to the crime, but worse than that, aishah, is that the prosecution had that information and never turned it over. that's probably what's going to change the judge's mind on this time around because that is what we call a brady violation, and that is game over for the prosecution, if in fact the court believes the prosecution committed this brady violation. >> aishah: ok, interesting. jonah, this is the third time avery has tried for a new trial, and tried over and over to pin it on anyone else but him. is there a smoking gun, or is this all about doubt? >> so, it is all about doubt. but if there is a smoking gun, it's going to be the third party culpability. now remember this, the reason

why we all loved this documentary is the title says it all "making a murderer". it's not prosecuting a murderer, not finding a murderer, the whole theme of the show was did this guy get framed, and why we were so interested in it, remember, prior to this show, avery spent 18 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit. he was exonerated of that, and comes out and two years later, boom, lightning striking twice. so, this is really interesting because he's somebody accused of murder who actually got our sympathy. but it's going back to the legalities here, if the prosecution sat on evidence that somebody else could have and likely did do this, the legal standard is clear. the judge is going to have to vacate the previous conviction and can grant a new trial or something else could happen, like this guy could finally walk and not be tried again. that's completely up to the court here. >> aishah: and i remember that, i remember watching the series

and thinking you really don't know anymore, you can't tell and especially, you felt so bad for him, he had been exonerated before. i have to get your thoughts on steven avery. you've been following this from the very beginning. what's your take on him? >> you know, it's so funny. you know, he seems like a guy who kind of came from, i don't know, maybe the wrong side of the tracks, he, you know, wishy-washy family members but then all of a sudden he's reborn when he gets out of prison for something he didn't commit and now sits in this kind of mess. i think his attorneys are doing a great job. can't wait to see what happens in the court, in the actual court in wisconsin. >> aishah: ok, ok, thank you, jonna for your insight. i think it's going to grip the nation once again. >> john: they have to make a sequel. >> aishah: they are going to have to, it was really good the first one around. >> john: i didn't see it, i have to go back and look at it, now that "the voice" is done, i have

to find something else to watch at night. sweltering temperatures forcing more americans to crank up a.c. putting pressure on the electric grid, leading for calls to cut back in some big cities. live in redondo, california. >> one day this time, but temperatures over 100°, it can feel like an eternity. the power grid is unstable, so residents were urged to cut their usage during the peak use times, and set the thermostat at 78 or higher, avoid appliances and turning off unnecessary lights. but california seeks to meet green deadlines, the grid will be more stressed in the evening hours as drivers switch to e.v.,

and not just a california problem. weeks ago tesla asked the texas customers to avoid charging during peak times, that could disincentivize buyers worried about running out of battery. many in the golden state are looking to solar solutions, but demand peaks in the evening hours when the sun goes down. increasing storage is a key focus but projects are delayed due to permitting and supply chain challenges and could force operators to extend the life-span of fossil fuel plants which could increase rates. and costs are soaring worldwide. in europe, the benchmark power, above 500 euros for the first time. and google searches for firewood in germany spiked this year. and i can attest the cost of electricity is very high in southern california, second only to hawaii, but talking to experts to the energy industry

and saying the challenges, costs, delays, we rely, the transition plan is not in place. john. >> john: and if you put millions more electric vehicles on the streets of america as well, it's going to further tax it. so -- somebody has to do something somewhere to kind of ease bottleneck, and in germany they are going to delay plans to shutter the last three nuclear plants. they are getting the message, too. >> exactly, a plan, they are thinking about doing that in northern california as well. so yeah, more e.v.s, tough on the grid. >> john: we need more electricity, no question about that. kelly, thanks. do you have your electric car yet? >> aishah: no, i don't, but reminding me of the nightmarish hell in pakistan, they would turn it off at night without telling anybody, and you would

lose the hours of shopping during the day. >> john: people don't want to shop in a hot store, they want to go in the store to get out of the heat. >> aishah: cdc is admitting they failed to meet the moment with the pandemic response. where does the agency go from here? >> john: cdc director rochelle walensky sat down with our very own dr. marc siegel, and how she plans to revamp the cdc. there he is, he's standing by coming up next. doing on their p? they're banking, with bank of america. the groom's parents? they just found out they can redeem rewards for a second honeymoon. romance is in the air. like these two. he's realizing he's in love. and that his dating app just went up. must be fate. and phil. he forgot a gift, so he's sending the happy couple some money. digital tools so impressive, you just can't stop banking. what would you like the power to do?

i typed in my dad's name... and i found his childhood home.

he's been wondering about the address for seventy years... (chuckle) and i found it in five minutes. travel back in time in no time with the 1950 census on ancestry.

>> aishah: growing fallout at the cdc after director rochelle walensky admits the agency needs a total overhaul following their botched response to the pandemic. dr. marc siegel just sat down with the doctor, he shares what she told him in just a couple moments. but first, to peter doocy travelling with the president in wilmington, delaware. peter. >> peter: aishah, now that the dust has settled, people who understand how the cdc works are telling us that just because the agency wants to change doesn't mean they can do that quickly. >> it really needs to be a public health response agency, not an academic institution. it's going to take some time to change that culture, because

many of the individuals that are obviously dedicated public health individuals have really learned to operate and be incentivized for their performance based on academic models. >> peter: republican of california tweets if the cdc wants to be more action oriented after the disastrous policies of school closures and masking kids in class, a good start would be to replace its current leadership. that's not going to happen. walensky is staying on. and we have been told the president's top medical adviser from day one, dr. anthony fauci, will not be fired under any circumstances. >> they made some mistakes, they have to own it, the only way to correct it is realize that you have an issue, somewhat of a deep-seeded cultural issue they recognize and they will correct. so i'm quite optimistic that my colleagues and friends down at the cdc are going to be able to regroup and handle this.

>> peter: president biden has given many national addresses about covid, explaining what his team was doing to address the pandemic step-by-step, but now a huge backtrack by the cdc and not a peep from the president. aishah. >> aishah: sounds familiar, thank you, peter doocy, for us in wilmington. >> john: he is on vacation, after all. bring in dr. marc siegel, he just interviewed rochelle walensky. >> she's talked a lot about the need to change the culture as peter was just saying and speed up things so things are more available even before publication, but i asked her, what about when you are wrong? what about when you don't know something? how do we get clarity under those circumstances. here is what she had to say. >> what this pandemic taught us and showed us, now we need to talk to the american people. say what we know when we know it, provide timely data, and

give people updates along the way and yes, that also means telling people what we don't know as we are making decisions. >> i think, john, if you tell people what you don't know maybe they believe you a little bit more, you know, there's been a lot of authority here, prevent spread, therefore the mandates on the vaccines, you know, masks and that leads to enforced masking. i asked her about all of that, but i got the feeling that, you know, some of this is still being politicized and will keep being politicized. the vaccines she acknowledges now it's about decreasing severity. whatever we are doing, we are not preventing spread, so really is no justification for mandates. >> john: don't forget in the early going when it came to masking, we were told it was not the cdc, you don't need a mask, but that was misleading, it's not that they didn't work but preserve the limited supply of masks for first responders, but that's misleading people. it's shading the truth in order

to try to effect something else. but the cdc has long been held up as the gold standard with infectious disease, knowledge, leadership in public health. i don't know how many books i've read, the cdc is going to solve everything, fix it. what the heck happened? >> it's because the culture is based on vetting, it's based on long-term views, it's based not on bringing facts together and dr. walensky has said the states don't always give her the information in realtime and a lot of politicking going on. i also brought up to her the issue of the "wall street journal" editorial shocking about scientists having proprietary information on testing and trying to preserve patents and invention yet in the middle of a pandemic which may have led early on to the delay in testing and here again, there's a delay in testing right now with monkeypox. i asked her about that. here is what she said. >> if there is a new diagnostic test we are going to need to

work quickly in order to get that out there. but when we have a new diagnostic test like we needed for covid-19 we can't sacrifice on making sure that that is the right test which were among the challenges we had early on. >> i hope that actually works because i still worry about all the issue of big business and proprietary scientists, you know. it's ok to come out and make these statements but we need the monkeypox test now and at the beginning of the pandemic i was hearing in nebraska it was rifling through communities and we had 100 tests, and most were faulty, if you recall. that's part of the culture change we need. if you want people to believe you, you got to admit what you don't know and be accurate with what you say. show clarity. >> john: this is just a lot more than you have to be transparent with people and tell them what you know and don't know, not knowns and unknowns as rumsfeld once said, but rochelle walensky says she's going to restructure

the cdc, and the old adage, a fish dies at the head, and she should go too. >> i don't think she's going anywhere, she is an infectious disease specialist, i'm surprised to her coming out and saying there are shortcomings here, but they go way beyond anybody has admitted and not a quick fix, and the one thing not discussed john you know well, the degree to which this is politicized. teachers' unions are involved with keeping schools shuttered, not only the cdc. elaborate network of politicking involved, not just science. i don't think she's going anywhere. i admire her coming forward, i don't think it goes far enough at all. >> john: great job with the interview. thanks for joining us so quickly afterwards. >> aishah: harder and harder for businesses to find workers, so why not try a robot? yeah, why you might find flippy

the fry cook the next time you go out for some fast food.

>> have you heard about this? robots are making their way into fast food kitchens nationwide. this is flippy, the fry cook at a white castle. madison alworth is live in mareville, indiana. a lot of friends there. i have never seen flippy. is this a growing trend? >> aishah, it's definitely a growing trend. this is the very first flippy to be installed. it's worked so well, white castle has committed to 100 flippies across the u.s. this is the first one in operation here. what you're seeing is flippy in action. he takes food from the fryer and moves it down and does everything automated. the hospitality industry really struggled to hire workers, in

particular the fry cook position can be especially challenging to fill because it's entry level and dangerous. the robot has expanded to other restaurants. i told you about white castle. it's in chipotle, buffalo wild wings. it could not come at a better time because of labor shortages across the industry. one thing that i ran across, white castle has been able to commit to flippy but they doubled down -- sorry. getting another sound in my ear. anyway, flippy here, this is one of 100. it's really just making an interesting impact on the restaurant industry as a whole. >> maybe they have doubled down on hiring more employees. thanks, madison. we talked about how we want the ice cream at mcdonald's to work. >> john: i was thinking madison might have been hearing the ghost in the machine.

>> it was talking to her and tell her to eat some fries. >> john: mcdonald's needs a robot to run the ice cream machine. i was in the drive-thru for about 15 minutes. i got there and said ice cream, please. said sorry, the machine is broken. >> thanks for joining us. >> i'm aishah hasnie. i'm john roberts. >> the doj is working to redact the affidavit related to the mar-a-largo raid. there's speculation around what this all means for trump in 2024. some say mounting legal troubles are a threat to a presidential bid. but others say the search has revived the former president's power within his party. and of
