tough, especially if you love politics. >> also like building a foundation, right, and the foundation is rocky and you are not aligned, probably fall apart. >> right. well, let's hope not, come on. open minded millennial republicans, it's nice to see, good job, guys. all right. thanks everyone. here is "america reports." >> thank you all, less than 80 days until the midterm elections and all signs are pointing to a knock down drag out fight in november. brand-new fox power rankings showing republicans are still expected to take the house. but it may not be the blowout many previously expected. >> john: and also seeing shifts in nearly a dozen senate gubernatorial races. our power panel sound off on the rankings just ahead. >> sandra: but first, to a fox news alert, the search for that missing 16-year-old girl keily rodni and appears to be a tragic

turn in a mystery, a body and a car have been found west of reno, nevada. the body is keily, a volunteer dive group says. hello and welcome, everyone. sandra smith in new york. >> john: good to have you back. john roberts in washington. pacer county sheriff's office has not confirmed the identify, we expect an update on the investigation an hour from announcement keily rodni has been missing since the 6th of august, vanished from a graduation party near a reservoir with other teens. >> sandra: police have been treating it as a possible abduction and followed up on 2,000 leads and the fbi joining the search, along with hundreds of investigators. >> john: claudia is in sausalito, california with the latest. search and rescue group with the popular youtube channel is

credited with finding a car that other dive teams somehow missed. >> that's right, john. adventures with purpose is a volunteer dive team that helps find missing people. they joined the search for keily rodni on friday and yesterday announced their divers had made this grim discovery in a lake that had been searched repeatedly by law enforcement officers because they said this lake is the last place that keily's cell phone had pinged in the early morning hours of august 7th, and it's near the campground where she was last seen at that graduation party, possibly intoxicated, according to some of her friends. the water in the lake was murky and with no new leads, scaled back the search effort there. but last night a car matching the description of keily's silver honda was pulled out of the water. authorities covering it up quickly with tarps out of respect for keily and her family because adventures with purpose had posted on its facebook page

that the body of the 16-year-old was inside. a short time ago those divers explained how they used two boats with specialized sonar and magnets to locate the car upside down in 14 feet of water and about 55 feet offshore. >> once we confirmed it was indeed keily's vehicle, we immediately notified family, law enforcement, and dad and grandpa were on scene in minutes. >> those divers said it is an honor to be able to help the families of people who disappear. now, the night of the graduation party on august 6th, keily's mother said she had texted her saying she would be coming home. her mom told her to be safe, and said keily texted her back, ok, mom, love you. and that was the last she heard from her daughter. the placer county sheriff's office will hold a press conference in about an hour.

we will carry it live on fox. a spokesperson said they hope to get answers to the questions they still have. john. >> john: we'll be watching for that. claudia, thank you. more coming up on this as well, sandra. >> sandra: indeed. devastating story. i had a chance to speak with the mother of the missing teen the friday before i left last week, john, and of course as all parents do with missing kids, they were holding out hope that she would eventually show up, and right now they are waiting in agony on the confirmation of whether or not that was indeed their daughter's remains. we'll have that update for our viewers and mark will react to it, 2:00 p.m. eastern time, news for our audience. we are less than 80 days until the midterm elections and americans are not happy. a poll found almost three-quarters of registered voters say the country is headed in the wrong direction, 26% believe president biden's tax and spending plans will make things better for them and their families.

polls come as the president is expected soon to announce a decision on whether to "cancel" student loan debt. a move critics point out would not actually cancel debt, but instead transfer costs to other americans. critics also question the timing, calling it an attempt to buy off younger voters for the midterm elections. fox team coverage now, hillary vaughn and charles payne are standing by, the president is vacationing in delaware. peter, how expensive is it to raise a child in the country considering how high inflation is. what are you hearing? >> peter: sandra, because baby food and toys and shoes cost so much more now, like everything, it is costing more than $310,000 to raise a kid born in 2015 through high school. that's 18,000 plus dollars a year, according to a brookings institution calculation.

9% more than two years ago, driven by the current inflation, but administration officials are out saying it's all good because gas is coming down. even though the energy secretary now says that may not last. >> if china opens up significantly after covid, there will be more pressure on demand, more pressure on demand means upward pressure on prices. so, we are watching what happens globally, but we are doing everything possible to try to stabilize supply and demand to keep the prices coming down. >> peter: a new nbc poll finds 35% of voters surveyed think america's best years lie ahead. 58% say the best are behind us. economy is a major drag right now. 68% surveyed say they think the u.s. is in a recession now, that means 68%, not buying the white house spin that there's no recession, just slow growth. >> we have people in tennessee

that drive 30 miles to work, 30 miles back home and they are making a choice whether they fill up the tank or fill up the grocery cart. too many different days each month. it is a strain. we have people trying to be first time home buyers and because of the impact of inflation, they can't do that. >> president biden remains here at his beach house on vacation. we don't know if we will see him between now and wednesday when he is set to return to the white house. sandra. >> sandra: ok, peter doocy live for us. thank you. john. >> john: we'll see what we see. meanwhile, president biden said he would make a decision on so-called loan forgiveness by the end of august, less than ten days away. supporters are in favor of not paying off the college debt, critics warn it could make historic inflation even worse. president is cutting it close to the deadline. >> he is, it's down to the wire.

the president keeping people in suspense waiting to find out whether or not they need to start making student loan payments starting september 1st. biden has just nine days to decide if he will keep this pause in place, but saying simply delaying payments until the end of the year would cost $20 billion. effectively wiping out the first six years of deficit reduction that was passed in the inflation reduction act. but the chair of the council of economic advisers is down playing any economic impact of delaying payments for borrowers. >> the impact on inflation will depend on -- we have to keep in context of the restart and this happens over time, so it's not a one hit shock to the economy like a stimulus would be. >> but jason furman disagrees it has 0 impact. tweeting this, if your claim is

student loan debt relief is not inflationary because it is happened instead of cancelling all interest payments for all borrowers for all time, you are replacing one inflation with another. the washington post reports the department of education is working on an idea called the fresh start initiative that would bring about 7.5 million borrowers who are behind on payments out of default, scrub their credit history of the incident and make them eligible to take out more loans. republicans are calling this idea crazy. virginia fox saying this in a statement, it's definition of insanity, and also wrong. if the individuals were unable to pay back their loans the first time they borrowed, how will giving them access to more debt help. student loan forgiveness overall would only benefit 13% of americans who have student loans but critics say it would cost all taxpayers who ultimately will be paying the price.

john. >> john: some folks are trying to say the taxpayers would not be on the hook for this. not sure where they learned that. hillary, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: nothing is free, somebody always has to pay for it. charles payne, you are always following the money. president wants to wipe out some student loan debt. who benefits the most from that? >> it's amazing that the most fortunate people in the country, college grads who over the course of their lifetime will make two times what a high school grad makes, three times what a high school dropout makes, they'll live longer, seven years longer than the average high school student, their kids will be less likely to be victims of crime, these are the most fortunate people, the people on the path to living the american dream. why the hell does biden keep -- sandra, they have child tax credits last year, they promoted it, always promote it, bring the little black kid up and say look what we are doing for child

poverty, up to 300,000 to get solar panels on the roof, e.v., since they did the 7500 for e.v., the major auto industries raised their car prices by how much, 7500, and tesla went up 15,000. and then this. what is the insistance on this. at this very moment, there's a record amount of americans working two full-time jobs. a record amount working two full-time jobs. you look at -- you should see the chart on the basic expenses when you add utilities costs, gasoline, food, and the electricity, it is sky high. you've never ever seen a spike like this in american history. >> sandra: most people don't need a chart, they are living through it, see the money leaving the bank account. the white house says we are going to wipe out the deficit with the inflation reduction act, $257 billion cut from the deficit, put it up on the screen. at the same time, what would be added to the deficit by giving

these student loans forgiveness is $250 billion. so you are talking about wiping out whatever they wanted to tout that they were -- that they were lowering from the deficit, charles. >> and it will be inflationary. some people might have been saving money, ok, i have to pay back my student loan instead they will spend it in an environment they are trying to get people to stop. but as far as this so-called inflation reduction act, the most important thing to know, all the spending happens admittedly. assumed money, we don't know when it happens. when do you raise the army of 75,000 irs agents. >> sandra: the white house admits you will see prices go up in the short-term and barely go down. >> and barely go down is a hell of an assumption. >> sandra: the last topic here, the white house likes to say gas prices have come down, great. but it depends on how you look at it, because gas prices today

at 3.90, that means we are still seeing gas up 63% since biden's first day in office. jennifer granholm talked to trace gallagher over the weekend and she is still out there touting their green energy initiative no matter what it costs the american people. listen. >> there are significant incentives in this bill. if you are low income, you can get your home entirely weatherized. if you are moderate income, today you can get 30% off the price of solar panels. if you want to buy a used electric vehicle, you can get $4,000 off at the dealership today. >> sandra: charles, you are going to tell me that is not the top priority of the mind of the low income american family struggling paycheck to paycheck, working two jobs to pay for inflation, struggling to buy groceries and fill up the gas tank, their priority is weatherizing their house?

>> most don't have the house, feds come out with a survey, the pulse survey, 51 million folks college degrees own home. only 3% are behind on their mortgages. less than high school, only 5 million own a house, 13% behind in the mortgages. even the few folks who don't have college degrees who may have home ownership, larger percentage are struggling to keep up with daily bills. i don't understand. the democrats are the party of the elite, and one thing to be the party of elites, but they have taken taxpayer money from cab drivers and giving it to the people with college degrees. >> sandra: you know who is going to go off on that, pete hegseth, he's going to join us next hour, in your chair and he'll likely be fired up as we are. we'll see you at 2:00. >> john: nowhere near as well

dressed, though. stipulate that point. stunning video from a new york city hospital as hundreds of migrants line up for health care, food and phones. why are they getting it all on the taxpayers' dime? congressman byron donalds will weigh in on that. >> sandra: control of congress hanging in the balance come this november. breaking down the crucial midterm contacts. our political panel will be here to react. >> this is not about one person, this is about a movement and the lack of leadership coming from the white house and from washington. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhh...

>> john: new power ranking

showing 28 house seats and five senate seats are considered toss-ups in november. the gop is expected to take the house but a smaller margin than previously expected. control of the senate remains up for grabs. mercedes and fox news analyst juan williams. put the power ranking on the screen so everybody can see the democrats are forecast to get about 187 seats, the republicans at this point minimum looks like 220. so could pick up between 2 and 30 seats but not the blood bath we are expecting, a net reduction of six seats, why the reduction. >> i think first of all, i think we have to wait until after labor day weekend to see where the campaigns fall, and i do think we could see -- we talked about between 25 to about 40 seats where the republicans could win.

a win is a win. republicans are in strong position to win the house of representatives so i don't see it as a reduction towards supporting the republican party, i think on the house side it seems definite we are going to have a strong win. >> a place we are seeing a lot of the movement is in the suburbs where suburban moms have been moving from being republican to being democrat. why have the democrats been able to claw back? >> obvious answer, the supreme court ruling ending constitutional rights for abortion in the country and we see the numbers are strong in terms of women. moreover, educated white suburban women to your point, john. but also at the moment, i think if mercedes and i were sitting here a month ago we would not be talking these terms, still red wave. now talking red ripple maybe, and -- >> john: 25 seats would be more of a wave, not a tsunami.

able to surf on that. >> previously we were thinking 50 maybe plus seats. and it's not only abortion, but you look at some of the good news the biden administration has had in recent weeks, gas prices have been going down, inflation stable, if not going down, and then you go on to like which side of the gun issue, very important issue for those suburban moms, and again and again looks like good news for the democrats. >> is that what's behind it? >> i think the parents are waking up, seeing the leftist on the radicalized curriculum, and i think that has actually shifted that swing voter over to the republican side. so while for democrats and suburban women, abortion rights issue, i do believe when it comes to the issues of the economy and on education and crime the republicans are in favor to win those voters.

and the republicans are very enthusiastic this time around. remember, the midterm election voter is very different than the presidential voter. why? not as many go out to vote, it's mostly the base and the republicans are more energized this time around. an we see a lot of intensity on the republican side, no question about that. the senate, mitch mcconnell said last week might not be so good for republicans. >> greater likely hood the house flips than the senate. senate are statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcomes. >> john: power ranking up so you can have a look here. five toss-up seats as we mention, where they stand right now, in arizona, kelly is up eight over blake masters at the moment in the fox news poll, and georgia, warnock, according to the atlanta journal constitution is up three, in nevada, cortez

mastro, and fedderman up in the poll which favors republicans, up four points over dr. oz. looks like a recipe for democratic control, 51-49. >> you have the senate candidates, many have never run for politics before, like a dr. oz, like blake masters, and so it is a big of an uphill battle for them. for dr. oz, he needs to solidify the republican voters, many are not on board with him. tough to go up with the incumbents, but it's very early on in the campaign, see how things shift after labor day and what ads are going to come out, and what the issues are going to be basically in control there which of course i think it's going to again be the economy, it's going to be inflation, be the pocket book issue. >> the key phrase mitch mcconnell uttered, candidate

quality has a lot to do with the outcome. the trump candidates are great at winning primaries, can they win in november. >> and mitch mcconnell would be your best guess on this, but i think what you see from the money, from how the money is being spent and the kind of blame game that's taking place between mcconnell and rick scott who is the head of the senate republican re-election committee, you see them now saying we spent money in the wrong places, we are having trouble and don't know what to do. i think that's a big, big flashing warning sign for republicans in the senate. >> john: less than 80 days to go, a run through november 8th. thanks for coming in. >> sandra: volunteer divers in california say they have found the body of missing teen keily rodni. now we wait a briefing top of the hour from the official investigators who have yet to confirm that. we'll see if that happened, top of the hour, see if they also have answers on how the search came to such a tragic end. mark will be here in moments on

that. >> john: fallout from the raid on mar-a-lago continues as former president trump debates asking the judge to appoint a special master to review the documents. a live report from the justice department coming up next. >> we still do not know what they are up to. tennessee says if they can do it to president trump they can do it to me. if you're a veteran, own a home, and need cash, you need to know about the newday 100 cash out loan. it lets you refinance up to 100% of your home's value to take out an average of $60,000 cash. 25% more cash than you get at a bank or credit union. pay big bills, make home improvements, or just have cash on hand in these times of rising prices. veterans get more at newday usa. ...the tower cam for a - hey! folks, we seem to have a visitor. it looks like - looks like you paid too much for your glasses.

[ sighs ] i can't remember. >> john: about to have an update on the missing 16-year-old, keily rodni, looks like a tragic ending to the search in california. a criminal defense attorney will join us with analysis of the new developments. but first -- former president trump hinting at a major motion as part of his fight with the justice department after the mar-a-lago raid. he is considering demanding a federal judge appoint a special master to review all of the

seized evidence. david spunt live at the justice department with the latest. the plot gets thicker and thicker. >> the federal judge is a federal magistrate bruce reinhart, he is considering releasing and unsealing the affidavit for the search into mar-a-lago two weeks ago today, but ultimately he may not do so as the calls from doj grow. meanwhile, as you mentioned, the trump team wants to appoint what is called a special master. it would be significant, john, a special master is a neutral third party, think of a lawyer or a retired judge, not connected to this case, that would review what the fbi took from mar-a-lago and even potentially return some evidence. that special master would work incoordination with magistrate bruce reinhart, the judge in the case. last week reinhart announced in court in florida that he was strongly considering releasing parts of the affidavit to the public.

he's giving the justice department until this thursday to come up with proposed redactions. >> weeks and now they are not showing cards, not showing anything, the lack of transparency, it's maddening, and they have absolutely blown it and where they have lost the trust of the american people because it just looks political. >> attorney general merrick garland pushed to release the search warrant but does not want the affidavit released, that would include the probable cause and announce what crime if any trump committed. they believe it would be a road map to the entire doj, and they don't want it public, and potentially could chill witnesses and other people from coming forward in the case. still nothing filed from the trump team but looking to see if and when they do make a motion to ask for a special master. ultimately, it's up to the magistrate to do so, john. >> and the big decision thursday as to whether or not the judge

accepts the doj redactions or tells them to make some modifications. >> sandra: fox news alert, a body has been found in the search for 16-year-old keily rodni in california. a volunteer search group has confirmed it is rodni's however we are waiting for an official update less than 30 minutes from now. mark, thank you so much for joining us. an amazing story. you are talking about hundreds, thousands of search hours that have taken place since she has gone missing. this volunteer dive team comes in in a matter of hours and finds what they say is indeed keily's body in that lake, they said upside down, 14 feet of water. diving team adventures is the name of the volunteer group. this is just a horrible potential ending to this story as we await official confirmation from police, mark.

>> yeah what a nightmare for the parents. every parents' worst nightmare. i have three teenagers and can only imagine what it would be like to wait 16 days, since august 6th when she disappeared, and now it's bittersweet. you want to know what happened to your daughter but the same time most likely as they confirm that it's her, you know that you will never ever spend any time with your daughter again. >> mark, can you tell me -- we are pretty curious how to plays out. you've got a massive search taking place over a period of weeks. i mean, i think it's 20,000 search hours that have been logged by everyone involved in this, including the fbi. you get a volunteer dive team that says hey, let us give this a try. they find this body in a matter of hours. how does it work with the official investigators involved in allowing a volunteer group like this to go into a nearby lake that was obviously already considered part of the search to

let them get involved? >> they have the specialty that the typical law enforcement agency doesn't have. this is what they specialize in. and instead of certain people condemning law enforcement, they should be praised. putting in the man-hours to find the young lady, they just didn't have the sonar, the equipment this organization has and kudos to them for allowing this group to come in there and do what they do best. >> this is just a bit of what we have heard so far, called out, we hope they can join us to tell us how this came about. this is diving team adventures with purpose on what they did after they found keily's vehicle, listen. >> once we confirmed it was indeed keily's vehicle, we immediately notified family, law enforcement, and dad and grandpa were on scene in minutes. >> sandra: absolutely heartbreaking and we wait the official update. investigators have to confirm

this is indeed her, mark. >> yeah, i mean. silver mazda crv, that was the vehicle that was, that she left the party with, that's the one that was found. her phone pinged in that location. i think it's just a formality, unfortunately. >> sandra: there was a lot we knew, a lot we did not know when this story first emerged. and it includes the fact she texted her mom shortly before she was supposedly heading home, i believe it was 11:40 in the evening. she texted her mother. i spoke to her mother just over a week ago during this devastating search, said mom, i'll be home soon. mom went to bed, expecting she would wake up to her daughter and the car in the driveway home asleep in bed. that was not the case. and that is when this all ensued, the night of august 6th, attended a large teen party at the campground there, we have the timeline, sheriff's office announced her disappearance the

following day. mom called said her car never returned home she's not here. two days later a massive search operation ensued, involving hundreds of personnel. they began the search, it was days later, police began to scale back the search effort because nothing was turning up. a volunteer dive team arrived at the lake, this was saturday, and her car and body were found yesterday in that lake by the volunteer dive team. a lot of time passed and here we have this volunteer group who was able to get to the bottom of this, hopefully, at least, when they confirm this. >> yeah, kudos again to them to doing their job. now the medical examiner will take over and tell us a lot more hopefully there is going to be some useful toxicology reports and they'll see if the body was disturbed in any way. >> sandra: we await any sort of detail on what went wrong there because it could be an absolutely tragic ending here. thank you for joining us. mark, i know you will stand by

with us we get the news conference at the top of the hour and help you digest that, the new details we get from it. thank you very much. john. >> my pleasure. >> john: awful to think what the parent are going through there. a suspect accused of sucker punching a stranger back behind bars after bail reform laws allowed him to walk free. and hardly the only horrifying case making headlines. the calls for change growing louder. >> sandra: and many schools are facing a teacher shortage as the new school year gets underway. what the education secretary is suggesting now to solve the problem. >> there are issues getting qualified educators in the classroom. we need to be creative how we get the teachers in. 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. ...from every specialty... marines, infantry, four years. ...from every length of service... united states army, strategic intelligence officer, twenty-eight years. ...trust newday usa to make the most of their va home loan benefit.

>> john: it's not a potted plant, that's a seal. a slick intruder slipped into their home. watch this. >> seal, how you doing? you ok? you gonna move to prove you are real? ok. >> john: the ross family in new zealand believes a seal which they named oscar followed the family's cat cocoa through that little cat door in the door, after the two crossed paths outside. the cat probably said hey, come on in, lots of food inside. ironic twist, the dad phil happens to be a marine biologist, but he was not there at the time, forcing his wife jen to handle it alone. she was able to usher it out into the garden where the department of conservation picked up the seal. the ross family enjoyed the experience, the cat, cocoa, remains traumatized by the experience and refuses to go downstairs.

>> sandra: poor cocoa. >> john: typical cat behavior, come on in, let's party, and geez, now get the seal out of the house. >> sandra: sounds like the seal picked the right house, marine biologist dad, amazing story. all right, john. >> john: whoever thought that would come in through the little cat door. >> sandra: you never know, be prepared for anything. many schools are facing a teacher shortage as the new school year begins. education secretary said using covid relief funds could help ease the burden. that would not exactly solve the problem. steve is live in atlanta for us, a huge problem, steve. how are school districts handling these teacher shortages? >> sandra, just when people thought it would be normal, a teacher shortage is throwing a wrench into things, and some parts of california and missouri the situation is so dire that they have gone to four-day a week school weeks through the shortage. the secretary of education said

it's time to start using federal covid relief money to hire new teachers. >> students need additional support, they need smaller class sizes, tutors, after school programs. so, let's use the american rescue plan dollars to bring back retired teachers to work with universities, to make sure our student teachers are starting a little bit earlier into their profession. using the dollars that were put forward by the federal government. >> the shortage of teachers certainly existed before covid, but the pandemic really made things worse. retirement rates in some districts jumped 30% during the pandemic, and some cities now find themselves in the position of memphis, tennessee, short about 200 teachers, school just about to start and replacements hard to find. >> a lot of my h.r. colleagues throughout arizona were contacting me, informing me that they have 0 applicants for their teacher jobs. they are worried this is going

to be -- whatever is worse than severe was going to be happening this year. >> the pay has always been a factor with teachers. they earn roughly one-third of people with college degrees earn in other jobs. back to you. >> sandra: we will be following that. steve, thank you very much. john. >> john: new nuclear deal with iran getting closer to the reality as the regime reportedly drops the demand at a key sticking point. where should the u.s. trust iran to follow through. michael waltz coming up. >> sandra: a new tiktok trend could be leading to a productivity plunge in america. so, what is quiet quitting? and how is it affecting genz workers across the country? ♪♪♪ i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein.

large out-of-state corporations have set and if you're pregnant or planning to be. their sights on california. they've written prop 27, to allow online sports betting. they tell us it will fund programs for the homeless. but read prop 27's fine print. 90% of profits go to out-of-state corporations, leaving almost nothing for the homeless. no real jobs are created here. but the promise between our state and our sovereign tribes would be broken forever. these out-of-state corporations don't care about california. but we do. stand with us.

>> john: president biden spoke with the leaders of france, england and germany about reviving the iranian nuclear deal. they are no longer demanding they remove the revolutionary guard corps from terrorist

organizations. and congressman michael waltz would have to be part of anything, any decision that approved this, he joins us now. according to al-jazeera, what's in the e.u. plan. they reported on this on saturday, 150 iranian financial entities and 17 banks would be removed from the sanctions list, south korea would release $7 billion of iranian frozen assets, iran allowed to sell oil as well, and exchange, tehran would roll back nuclear advances that they have made over the years, and any decision has to go through congress. where does congress and where do you stand on this? >> yeah, thanks. the first question i have, many americans have, what the hell are we negotiating with them in the first place, as we uncover plot after plot to assassinate a former president, assassinate former officials, and dice an iranian operative for planning to assassinate john bolton and

now a journalist, and activist, and oh, by the way, they are holding american citizens hostage in tehran as we speak. i think all of those things should be cleared up before we negotiate at all. but here nor there, every time -- every time, john, we seem to go to the table the iranians come with new demands and biden's negotiators come with new concessions. and remember, we are not even negotiating directly, it's through the russians of all people and the russian negotiator remarked on russian tv the iranians have received far more than they ever expected. so you are going to see those billions flow as al-jazeera is reporting through sanctions relief on iranian banks, corporations, even the supreme leader. worked through the irgc, by

lifting secondary actions, american businesses cannot do business with irgc but the rest of the world can and reportedly unconstitutional is that the iranians are worried a future administration likely either a trump administration or a republican administration will tear up the deal like president trump did, so they want to be compensated. they want to be compensated if it happens. you know what, if you want a deal to be permanent, it's called a treaty, you take it to congress and the constitution, and you craft a deal that two-thirds of the congress will agree with. so, you know, i don't think we should be negotiating at all. this is worse than the first iran deal and if you want it to be permanent you come to congress. and finally, john, a law on the books called inara, iran nuclear agreement review act, that says it has to come to congress for a 30-day review, and if congress does not agree you can't lift

sanctions. so, as far as i'm concerned, they are in violation, the biden administration is in violation of that law right now if they go through with the deal. >> john: another part of the world, russia. daughter of one of the people inside vladimir putin's inner circle, alexander dugina, his daughter was killed in a car bomb outside of moscow in the last couple of days. it's likely believed that that car bomb was meant for alexander. the ukrainians said we have not been a part of this, even though they have been using car bombs to killed russian officials inside ukraine. what effect do you think it has on the war? >> not sure what to make of this, john, this could be internal to russia in terms of maneuvering around putin's inner circle, a false flag to blame on the ukrainians, so not sure what effect it will have. the thing i'm watching most closely that has the hair on the

back of my neck standing up, potential fight over the nuclear plant. the russians reportedly are moving to take it off line, which would cut off electricity to 30% of ukraine. that means zelenskyy will have to take it back or face what's left of his country with artillery around the nuclear plant, largest in europe that could unleash radiation all over europe if it gets hit, should have all of us incredibly concerned and that's why we need military add -- advisors if they take the plant back. it has me very, very concerned. >> john: no question that is a real problematic situation. congressman michael waltz, always good to spend time with you. thank you. >> thank you, john.

>> john: fox news alert to start a second hour of "america reports," any second now an update in the search for 16-year-old keily rodni, she and her car vanished two weeks ago in northern california. >> sandra: looks like it has begun. >> we have been working with the family and really since the very beginning trying to make sure that we focus on all of our efforts being for the family.

and at this time, you know, last night we did receive some information of the recovery of the vehicle that we have been searching for and it was located inside prosser lake, inside the search zone we have been searching since the beginning of our operation. we are very fortunate we had the assistance of a volunteer group, adventures with purpose that came out with very specific expertise, and were able to help us in locating the vehicle that we had been searching for for several weeks. it's at these times that we really want to recognize the reason why we are all here, and that is for this family. we have said that from day one with our staff, the incredible amount of collaboration that we have received from or partners

in this region. clearly being a mountain town we are used to having great collaboration knowing that none of us have enough resources to go around, but when we all work together i think it is an incredible show of how committed all of our agencies are for our community here. working hand-in-hand in unified command, joint command with placer county sheriff's office. the folks from california highway patrol, the truckee police department, and our friends from the federal bureau of investigations. the amount of effort that all of these agencies put together really truly is why we are here today. and as we eliminated a lot of

tips and information that was coming in, i think it's very important to understand that all of that work did lead us to this time and being able to focus on the services that we provide to our families here that are impacted. we've recovered the vehicle, we recovered the vehicle last night. we have located a deceased inside the vehicle. we believe it is our missing person. we have not been able to positively identify but it's more than likely where we are today and we wanted to make sure that the family had all that information first. the last thing we want to do is have them learn information outside of our team. so i think that is one of the points that i really want to make sure that our communities

know and the folks that are watching today know is truly how committed we have been throughout these last few weeks in coming to this resolution. it's still an active investigation and i understand there will be and will continue to receive lots of questions regarding our investigation and we will release what we can. but at this time our commitment is to this family, and that is where we will consistently reach for making decisions on what we release. and again, it is still a very active investigation. so again, i appreciate everyone being here, getting this information out. it is -- the reason why we are here is because of the community support and the amount of work that was put into this investigation to where we could clearly identify very specific

areas to search. the adventures with purpose folks did just a fantastic job at being able to locate the vehicle as quickly as they did based on, again, a lot of heavy lifting that the folks behind me have done throughout the last couple of weeks. so i appreciate everyone being here and we will open up for some questions. >> what agency called in adventures with purpose and when did you decide they would help? >> captain sam brown from my agency would be happy to answer this question. >> the question was is which agency requested. i'm not sure an agency had reached out and requested from our unified command. but as everybody is reading online and seeing the information coming out and we realized there was an interest from adventures with purpose, we did link up that group with sergeant mike powers with the

sheriff's office, had lots of communication as they were going to be travelling to this area, and then a lot of detailed information that was shared that was not necessarily out to the public yet that hopefully was of assistance to help them locate the area to go through. >> the car was found in the area you had been searching from the beginning. what did the awp have that maybe you guys didn't have, or why was that missed in the initial -- >> i think that's a great question. one that everybody has, how did we not find it when we were searching. the lake was extensively searched, with side sonar, r.o.v., we had divers, swimmers, we have to go back and debrief. and peace officers are in the field and volunteers and searchers does not mean they are experts in the field, sometimes ancillary duties, and tracking underwater is difficult to do, so part of the debrief on

situations is how do we figure out to improve our services, work on our resources and the way we use them. a lot of this equipment is high end, very expensive, and you really need to have a lot of practice and expertise and i think that's where a group like adventures with purpose is able to focus and practice those skills and really hone them. and so we are appreciative they were able to come out and locate it. i don't want to take away from our volunteers as well as law enforcement that have been out there. we had people swimming in the water looking down so we didn't disturb the ground initially. my understanding the vehicle was upside down, that also makes it more difficult and if silt and things come up above that can make it difficult. before i can say why we didn't -- weren't able to do it, i could say we eliminated a lot of areas we would still be searching if we didn't have all the great people out there and that helped give some guidance as well i think. but clearly their expertise in diving and equipment brought to the table assisted us and we

appreciate that. >> have any specific technology that law enforcement agencies didn't have? >> i'll have to debrief with them before i have the answer to that question. i believe we are going to try to do that today. >> adventures with a purpose has referenced red tape a couple times saying they don't have the red tape your assisting agencies have. what is that and why is it easier for a private organization to do this? >> i don't know what we are talking about in regards to red tape. i think from the very beginning we never deterred anybody, other than certain scenes we closed off at times that became areas of interest and we wanted to protect for evidence. so i don't know that there was any red tape ever put on this. if you look at the amount of man-hours that went into it, it was over 15,000 and i know it's even higher than that now. i don't think there was ever red tape. boat ramp and the lake were never actually shut down because the way we were looking at it, more eyes out there, the better

off we are going to be for finding keily and that was continuing to be the goal. i'm not sure there was red tape. i think it comes down to lots of factors and like i said, we are going to debrief and how do we become better and do a better job at these types of operations. >> why did the agency believe it was an abduction at first? >> i think there was a lot of miscommunication. i don't know whether it was labelled abduction, but you can never take that off the table. as we talked to the command group and the unified command, you could not remove it off the table because we had not found her, and so you know, that was some of the struggles with some of the services we wanted to obtain and things we wanted to do. we could not see it was not an abduction but also never said it was an abduction. i think that was clarified fairly early on. but we also probably would not have received all the services and all the people if that was not an option. if this was truly a search and rescue mission, they identified

over 400 juveniles and to interview all those folks and provide feedback off of all that, it takes an army of people and i think we were lucky to put that together between my partners and agencies that are right behind me. >> any of the juveniles, anybody mention a car going into the water? >> i don't believe that statement was made. >> was there indication this was an accident or foul play? >> it's still being investigated. chp could give some information, they are conducting the accident investigation. >> good morning, josh elers, i can confirm our department is -- >> sandra: you got the news, they believe it's keily rodni, said the sheriff's office and the fbi, they believe it was keily rodni found inside the

vehicle upside down submerged 14 feet, obviously authorities have been under a lot of pressure to explain how and they detailed there, 15,000 hours have been spent on the search for this missing 16-year-old girl near that campsite, only for a volunteer dive team to come in and within hours find not only her car but keily herself. but they all but confirmed it's keily, saying we believe it's keily rodni, but they said with certainty it is her vehicle. >> john: yeah, and as the representative from the sheriff's department was saying, when law enforcement uses side scan sonar and other equipment like that, it's not what they did on a daily basis. adventure with purposes, that's what their purpose is to find people missing, and more adept at local law enforcement using that and identifying and locating what they are looking for. but again, as you point out, it is quite surprising that they got in there and they found it

within hours, when days of searching had not turned anything up. bring in mark, criminal defense attorney, how did she get into the lake there, when you take a look at the geography of the area, a long road goes through a couple of park grounds and becomes a boat ramp. could it be she's at the party, it's midnight, got confused, drove the wrong way and before she knew it she was in water and the suv was turning over. >> absolutely. that's probably the front-runner in terms of theories. but they are not going to take anything off the table until after they conduct a thorough search. first of all, examining her body to determine what clues could be found there, make sure there is nothing nefarious as the medical examiner combs over her remains and then toxicology, and studying the pattern of driving

where she left to where she ended up. >> sandra: and the point authorities should be given a lot of credit for eliminating the areas she could have gone in this search. the vehicle had been missing, obviously to this point as well, so that was a huge part of this search. it was this volunteer dive time, adventures with purpose who came in and found that car in that lake with her body. also, mark, we don't know whether or not, they have not ruled out or said there was not anybody else in the vehicle. i don't know if that would have been included in the information we just got. seems a lot of vague details so far. >> there are, and let me just talk about those who are condemning law enforcement. look, they honestly, passionately dedicated their lives to try to find this woman. did everything they could at this level of awareness. clearly this volunteer organization has a higher ability to locate people under these circumstances. in fact, i read since 2019, they have solved 23 cases that had

gone cold and thanks to them families had peace and solace after knowing where their loved ones went. they specialized in that. and we learned surprisingly, the sheriff's office had the requisite equipment which surprised me, but he maybe conceded that their ability to utilize that equipment maybe fell short and they have to readdress that. >> john: a question, she was at the graduation party, apparently 300 people there, yet no one saw her leave. >> well, these are kids at a party. it doesn't surprise me. everybody is doing their thing. my guess is it involves alcohol and other impairments and she might have just wandered off and people did not see. i have teenagers this age, they don't say ok, everybody, i am leaving, so everybody make note. so, it's not surprising to me. >> sandra: this is still labelled as you heard from the

authorities at the news conference, this is still an active investigation. what happens from here, mark? >> you have law enforcement officers who will absolutely look over this with a fine tooth comb, especially because you and the national media are watching every move, they will make sure that they are able to answer every single question which means absolutely considering everything as a possibility. >> john: all right, mark, with the latest on that, and sage analysis. terrible tragedy. president biden's border crisis and a new york post front page says it all, "land of the free as migrants line up around the block for free food, healthcare and even phones." >> john, 6,000 asylum seekers have arrived in new york since may, as the big apple struggles

to meet the pledge of being a sanctuary city. >> john: the mayor says they cannot handle the surge but it's a fact of life at the southern border with towns. >> sandra: casey stegall, cartels are recruiting average americans to that region? >> yes, sandra, they are. incredible. forgive me if i have to holler in a few moments, an airboat just pulled up behind us not terribly long ago and they get loud when they take back off. you are right. police chief in texas tells us he has seen old and young, even professionals like nurses and a lawyer get caught up in this. people who are now lured to the southern border by social media or other online posts, ads placed by the cartels, promising large sums of money if they pick up migrants and drive them

further into the country's interior. sometimes drivers resist, leading to those pursuits and bailouts we have been reporting on. other times they are stopped with no issue as police and federal agents search for contraband. more than an hour's drive from the texas-mexico border, the chief says the spilloff has caused crime across the board in his community to go up by more than 100%. >> we have the human smugglers taking this route almost every single day, multiple times a day, and i will and my guys will do everything they can to defend this town. >> meantime, one busy day for agents here in eagle pass as several groups, totaling more than 200 have illegally crossed, including several children and women. i saw one earlier holding an infant. however, cpb data shows the vast

majority of illegal entries involve single adults. according to that data, more than 1.3 million of those for the fiscal year compared to 129,000 uac or unaccompanied children. >> sandra: numbers are staggering and the video we see of the flow is stunning. thank you very much. casey stegall. john. >> john: florida congressman byron donalds for thoughts on this. scene at lincoln hospital in the bronx over the weekend, hundreds of illegal migrants were lined up outside, free healthcare, free food, even getting free phones. and some people take a look at this and are outraged, look, there are plenty of people in new york city who cannot make ends meet, why are we taking care of illegal migrants. they were dropped there in new york city with probably not much to their names. but then at the same time, you've got these towns on the border that are just crumbling

under the crush of all of these illegal migrants. so, a lot of people in the country look at this and say you have to take care of them, but why can't you take care of other people, and what are you thinking about all of this? >> what i think is, if you have democrat politicians, not just joe biden, but mark kelly of arizona, nevada, mayor adams of new york, mayor bowser of washington, d.c., if they support this kind of a policy at our border then they should be responsible for the consequences. you have border towns all throughout the southern border who never asked for a wide open border. joe biden wanted to do it, democrat politicians have supported it, they need to be the ones to pay for it. it's just that simple. if you have border towns bear the burden while liberals in the northeast ignore the problem they created, you are only going to get more of a problem. what is happening is a political and humanitarian catastrophe.

but this is brought to us by the democrat party, so these major blue cities, they should be the ones to have to deal with some of the burden caused by their terrible border policy. >> john: so the governors of texas and arizona are coming in for criticism from democrats for putting people on busses and it's voluntary, and then sending them to either washington, d.c. or new york city. but the same time the two governors are coming under criticism, the federal government is sending thousands of people on airplanes, busses and other transportation across country to settle them in cities that are overburdened when it comes to social services. >> you are absolutely right. the federal government has been doing that since last february. if you have flown american airlines or southwest airlines, there are immigrants on the

planes. joe biden's border policy is subsidizing the drug cartels. the cartels will make $15 billion a year and i don't hear democrats complaining about migrants trafficked into the united states by the drug cartels. i don't hear them complaining about the drug cartels making billions of dollars more per year and don't hear them complaining about the young girls who are being raped and yes, i said raped in the journey of being trafficked by the drug cartels. when it comes to that, they got nothing to say because they want the open border policy. but when abbott and ducey send them to new york and d.c., now they are complaining. hypocrisy at its worst. >> john: and in washington, d.c., editorial saying d.c. cannot wish away migrant busses, the city must prepare for more. but congressman, another problem. some 250,000 unaccompanied

minors resettled in the country. when they become adults will put us in another crisis position where you have to decide what to do with them. do you initiate deportation proceedings against them or does this become daca 2.0. >> look, in my view, you have to begin deportation proceedings. joe biden has allowed for all of this, and not just him. you have democrats in the senate who have not lifted a finger to stop this problem, they encourage it. what are you going to do? inundate the united states with millions of people through this reckless policy and oh, oops, now we have to make them citizens or pathway to citizenship, terrible policy. nobody supports it. the democrats cannot pass it in congress so they are going to do it with the blunt force of no enforcement at the southern border so everybody has to deal with that question. terrible politics, but this is

what happened when you have a party committed to ideology as opposed to the facts on the ground and what it means in so many cities across the country. >> john: always good to catch you with you, thanks for joining us, appreciate it. sandra, what we are seeing at the border and saw it reinforced over the weekend is groups of, these groups of migrants are not coming in by the 2, 4, 10 or 20s, but by the hundreds in many cases. and different -- >> sandra: and no longer talking about the resours drying up in the border communities, it's happening everywhere now, the news here in new york city, you have all the migrants showing up, lincoln hospital in the bronx, lining up for healthcare coverage, food, other items, cell phones as you were noting. i mean, it takes a lot of resources just to support this number of people coming into this country and those communities not affected before are seeing what it's like now.

>> john: as the congressman pointed out, texas, arizona, southern california, they have been dealing with this for years, and now folks in the northeast are getting a taste. >> sandra: indeed. john, if you or any of your friends or loved ones trying flying somewhere this weekend, a good chance you or your luggage are still trying to get there. this weekend alone, airlines delayed nearly 9,000 u.s. flights and canceled more than 500. the feds urging airlines to do more to help fliers amid this seemingly never ending travel nightmare. madison alworth is in tampa international airport. what is the government, or what do they say they are trying to do about this mess? >> sandra, the department of transportation, they are trying to hold airlines accountable, and if it succeeds you could get a big payout. the main thing they are looking at, what constitutes a delay. passengers are required to get a refund if the flight is

significantly delayed or changed. here is the thing, though. significantly changed or delayed, that varies from airline to airline and it's up to them right now to define what significant means. this has led to some people arguing that airlines take advantage of the vague language and that customers who don't get the refunds they deserve. that is why the department of transportation is looking to standardize the definition with the following criteria on the screen. get the refund if flights are delayed more than three hours for domestic flights, more than six hours for international, and airport is changed, number of connections increase or if your airport itself has changed, that would also be considered significant. so, these proposals are still in the 90-day comment period. that's why the department of transportation released late last week more things they think the airlines should do. they are arguing that customers should get a food voucher if the flight is delayed over three hours and also hotel if they

have an overnight change or cancellation. i've been here all day, i spoke to some customers who are really frustrated. >> virtually no help getting anything taken care of. i had to take care of it, there was no cooperation whatsoever from the airlines and it's unsatisfactory. >> they just canceled it and texted me. >> donna, who you just heard, her flight was canceled yesterday and luckily she has family in the area. she stayed with them, was not offered a hotel because she did not go to the front desk to ask for it. she should have been given a hotel, what the department of transportation is talking about. just not a lot of clarity around what you get depending on your airlines. and also why they are going to release a dashboard in the next

two weeks that compares what each airline offers. what you get depends on where you fly and which carrier. >> sandra: so frustrating for the fliers and especially the families who are trying to travel for their holidays before school starts, lugging kids around with the delays, it's tough. madison, keep us posted. thank you very much. from tampa, thank you. >> john: one day away from a key primary in new york where two long serving democrats are facing off against each other. as one headline puts it, they are setting aside years of friendship to destroy each other. >> sandra: a look at how former president trump's influence will play out in the gop races in florida. fight for control of congress getting tougher and tougher. byron york is on that next.

>> sandra: reveal democrats gaining ground for battle of control of the house. republicans are still forecasted to within the majority but the projected margin of victory is shrinking, significantly so in the past month. >> john: byron york standing by how republicans can gain momentum. plus, fox team coverage, bryan is here in new york tracking the primary battle between two long time house democrats. >> sandra: first to florida, where president trump's interest is looming large. aishah hasnie has more from tampa for us, hello, aishah. >> aishah: good afternoon to you. that's right, everyone is trying to attach themselves to the former president and plenty of drama in the republican primaries here as people are calling each other rinos and even filing police reports, that

is the case here where air force veteran and trump endorsed candidate tells me she and her staff have been the target of vandalism in recent days, slashed tires, smashed windows. her opponent, prosecutor kevin haslip condemns political attacks but laughed out loud and said luna is trying to play the victim for votes. >> heard about this, you must have, because you are laughing and you condemn it. >> of course i condemn it. you understand this is someone -- >> why are you laughing? >> i'm laughing, she's taking out dozens of restraining -- this is her m.o. she plays the victim. when she feels threatened. >> over in -- over in the newly drawn 11th district, conservatives are deeply divided over dan webster and far right laura loomer, both think they are more aligned with trump but neither have his enforcement, and loomer is

calling webster an rino. >> he believes joe biden is legitimate, he does not believe the election was stolen. he stabbed our president in the back. >> i look like a republican, act like a republican. she spends so much time trashing me, i don't know i know what her stand is on the issue. >> aishah: and representative matt gaetz under investigation for sex crimes, is facing two challenges, the trump ally, he has reportedly spend $6 million to save his seat. >> sandra: aishah, thank you. >> john: team coverage continues with bryan llenas and key primaries there, which should we watch tomorrow? >> the first we are going to start off with, the 12th congressional district, we know at least one democratic party

leader's career will come to an end tomorrow. representative jerry nadler going against carolyn maloney, both ranking democrats. friends, allies, 30-year careers in congress. they are facing off after thanks to messy redistricting her, it has been nasty and contentious. maloney, 76 has challenged nadler's health, questioning whether the 75-year-old is too senile for the seat. she also said she does not think president biden will run for a second term. nadler called maloney gullible and cowardly, and received the "new york times" endorsement and is seen as a favorite. then patel, a young attorney and former aide for president obama, hoping to retire them both. >> the two of them talked about the 1990s, early 2000s and what they have done, fighting to take more credit for two decades ago

accomplishments. i'm the only candidate in the race talking about the next decade. >> another race is new york's 19th district, a race seen as the nation's first true bellweather about abortion. pat ryan has made it about protecting abortion rights and has railed against the recent supreme court decision. republican mark molonaro -- >> the court decided this is a state matter and the state has broad access, agree with it or not. voters across the district are concerned about paying their bills and protecting their kids, and they want us to focus on that. >> new york's races are particularly unpredictable this year, low turnout after a messy redistricting process led to a rare summertime primary. john. >> john: bryan, thank you.

>> sandra: byron, great to see you. dial us in here, what do we need to know as we inch toward the midterm elections. you are looking at the fact the democrats have strengthened quite a bit in just the last month or so, as many are identifying. but what does that mean for control of the house? what are you seeing? >> well, i really think you have to look at the midterm elections in two different ways. one, as far as the house is concerned, i think it looks good for republicans. as far as the senate is concerned, there is absolutely no way to tell. republicans should have a pretty good situation to take control of the senate this year but they have some candidates who are performing poorly, herschel walker in georgia, dr. oz in pennsylvania, and they are behind in the polls there, and it's entirely possible the democrats could either keep the 50/50 tie and thus operational control that they have in the senate right now, or actually

win the senate outright in november. >> sandra: very interesting. i was gone over the past week, byron, it does not mean i did not keep up with your pieces in the washington examiner and you wrote about how biden is dragging down his party, his party down. you say there's been a surge of optimism among democrats lately when it comes to the midterm elections. short version of the thinking is you write, maybe we are not going to get clobbered after all, but much of their hope is likely in vain for one reason, president joe biden. can they be as strong as they hope if the president continues down the road of complete unpopularity? >> no, i don't think so. as a matter of fact, i think presidential job approval is one of the main indicators, predictors of how his party will do in midterm elections. and first of all, first term presidents usually lose seats in the house in their first midterms. almost always do. we have had a couple of exceptions, one was in 2002,

when the country was at wartime after september 11th with george w. bush, and 1998 during the lewinski scandal, clinton had a high approval rating. every other time in decades and decades the president's party loses seats, and especially when the president's job approval is low, below 50%. joe biden is about 41, 42% right now. that's a little better than it was a couple months or two ago when it got down to 37 or so. but still, that is really the range of job approval that leads to a big loss in midterm elections. >> sandra: and finally, can you give us your thoughts on the performance so far of perform president donald trump's picks how they are doing overall so

far, and what his influence will be on the republican party for the midterm elections. >> well, i think in a couple of races trump's picks are ahead in the polls, perhaps not as far ahead as they should be. j.d. vance is ahead in the polls in ohio. but some of the other ones are really struggling right now. herschel walker is struggling right now, dr. oz is struggling against john fedderman, who has not run an in-person campaign since may, and still oz is having a good bit of trouble there. so, you know, remember the test for trump, we all talked about how strongly his candidates did in republican primaries, and indeed that is the test. but the bigger test is, do they actually win office, and that's going to be the big thing and clearly if president trump's candidates do not help republicans win the senate, there are going to be a lot of

angry republicans about that. >> sandra: byron york, appreciate you joining us, thank you. >> thank you, sandra. >> john: sandra, violent crime on the rise in major cities as the impacts of bail reform are being felt by innocent victims on the treats. critics are teeing off on far left policies ahead of november's midterms. how to fix it. we'll talk about that coming up next.

>> john: shocking video out of new york city stunning people no matter how many times you see this. career criminal sucker punches a man outside a bronx restaurant. the incident not isolated. a sergeant with the baltimore city police force and president of the maryland state fraternal order of police. that, and street brawls in baltimore, the 7-eleven flash mob in los angeles, and where is -- where is the system of justice in all this? where is law enforcement when it comes to something like this? >> well, unfortunately the system of justice is imbalanced. if you call law enforcement to the situation we see in los angeles, you'll have the advocate out there saying the law enforcement response was too severe. so we have to get back to a balance system to allow our law enforcement officers to do their

jobs effectively and let the court system prosecute those. >> john: fine to say we need a balanced system, how do you get to the balanced system? many cities the scale is tipped the other way. >> our communities are speaking. baltimore, a prosecutor 70% of the people said they had failed policies, they wanted him out of office. so we need good policy to keep our community safe and addresses the violent crime that our community is seeing. >> which showed the video at the top, this guy in new york city had been let out without bail on misdemeanor assault charges for this horrendous attack. went to his parole hearing over the weekend, his parole officer said he is a 55-year-old male with a persistent violent felony, registered 3 sex offender, he continues to be an imminent threat to the

community. that prompted governor kathy hochul to intervene and say put him back in jail. the steps it took to get there seem crazy when you consider what he did. >> all of these people who had a hand in the gentleman being released should step down or removed from office. we need our judges to step up and say to put the guy in jail. men like this should not be allowed to be on the streets to victimize anyone else. >> john: thank you. >> sandra: fox weather alert, extreme flooding in dallas, texas. robert is live, you have an amazing story to tell. you saw the dangers up close and even helped a woman escape from her car, thought she was going to lose her life, she said. >> yeah, sandra, good afternoon. you can hear the noise, they are pumping water out of the streets

here in dallas. indeed, over 145 water rescues by officials here today. this morning, before the light came up, i was underneath that viaduct setting up for a live report on fox weather and i turned around and there was a vehicle moving in the deep waters, i didn't know whether there was a person in it or not, then i heard the screaming. put the phone down, went out there, and there was the woman stranded in her vehicle saying to me i don't want to die, i'm afraid, i don't know what to do. calmed her down. we realized, instead of trying to open the door to get her out, the water rushing in, that a better track would be for her to climb out the window. that's when we did. stephanie carroll climbed out the window. i carried her 20 yards up to high ground. she was on her way to pick up her daughter, a routine she does every day. the rain was coming down so hard, sandra this morning, and

it was very dark, so when she came up to this area she could not see the covered roadways, like so many people here, from last night into today. incredibly dangerous, historic rainfall, over a foot of rain, and it's still coming. here is the bad part, guys. this is all tracking east into arkansas, louisiana, mississippi. if you are watching this, take my advice, take the advice of the woman who i pulled out of the vehicle and all the people that were pulled and rescued here by officials today. if you see water, do not go near it. turn around, it's not worth it. you want to live and you want to hug your loved ones as soon as possible. tough situation here, and to think, sandra, this region was in an extreme and exceptional drought just last week. amazing. >> sandra: it's an important message, never mess with floodwaters, they can take your life. and robert, i've always raved about you as a photographer,
