the most attention for critical elections that could reshape some of the most powerful roles in congress. hello, everyone. sandra smith in new york. john, hello to you. >> john: sandra, great to see on this tuesday. i'm john roberts, this is "america reports." maloney and -- time to an end. new york democrats facing off in the newly redrawn 12th congressional district. one of the most hostile races of the year, with maloney questioning nadler's capacity to serve another term. >> sandra: and john, in florida, matt gaetz goes up against two challenges in another test of the former president's influence. and marco rubio will see who he will face in november. >> john: and aishah hasnie is in

clearwater, florida. >> sandra: bryan in new york city, 17th congressional district received the attention of democratic party superstars. >> yes, good afternoon, it has. the one hand, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez endorsing the progressive candidate, state senator alexandria biagi, and bill clinton supporting the moderate challenger, maloney, the chair of the congressional democratic committee. >> the truth is, there is not a system on earth including policing that cannot be made better. sometimes it upsets people. i know change is difficult. i understand pushing on systems that have perpetuated certain power structures is hard but we've got to do it. >> in new york's newly redrawn 10th congressional district, a

dozen candidates are vying for an open seat where former lead council on the house impeachment of president trump dan goldman has emerged as a favorite. heir to the levi fortune has over $4 million in his own money in that campaign, and the 19th district, pat ryan is taking on republican mark molinaro. ryan has made the issue of abortion rights central to his campaign. >> it is truly under attack. >> when i took the oath to protect and defend the constitution and the rights and freedoms that come with it, i took that very seriously, and the woman and the person should not have the government tell them what to do in their personal lives and healthcare. >> the race is seen as a real bellweather. can democrats galvanize enough

to stem the tied of the impending red wave this november. >> sandra: fighting through the noise in new york city, bryan, thank you very much. >> john: a lot going on in the big apple today. team coverage continues with races in florida, aishah hasnie is live in st. petersburg, and some could be a referendum on gop fire brands. >> good afternoon to you, you are right. even in districts expected to continue to stay red in november, conservatives here in florida have a big choice to make. are they going to send to congress an institutional conservative or are they going to send a firebrand. so, let's start with the first congressional district, of course, representative matt gaetz, a firebrand, embroiled in a sex trafficking scandal and primaried by two conservatives. big enough concern for him he's spent about $6 million to try to keep his seat. over in the 11th district, far

right laura loomer, calls herself the most banned woman on the internet over some pretty controversial comments about muslims is challenging long time incumbent dan webster whom she calls an rino. anthony sabbatini has gotten some backlash saying the fbi agents should be arrested on-site after the raid on mar-a-lago. his opponent is calling it inflammatory, and trump endorsed luna tells me the gop needs more fire fire brands like her. >> right now we need fighters and we need people willing to say no that's not ok, to draw the firm line in the sand and not let people cross it. if we continue to give in and concede. >> voters that we spoke with are divide, john, as to which direction they want the gop to go.

>> we have enough people chasing sound bites and social media and it's just not -- it's not good for us. >> right now we all feel so silenced and censored. >> don't need an a.o.c. for the republican party. >> we need a fighter, a passionate person. >> people here are fired up about today's primary. polls close at 7:00 and we could see some early results by 7:00, john. >> john: aishah hasnie, thank you. we'll take all of this on with josh in just a little while. i think the maloney-nadler fight is interesting, they worked together in congress and now they are trying to, i don't want to say kill each other, politically they are. >> sandra: a lot to dig into there. look forward to that segment coming up. >> we are supposed to learn from our mistakes and grow from them, and with fentanyl you don't get

another chance to grow. >> i don't wish this pain to any parent out there. >> no mother wants to wake up and have to find the news that their child has been taken. >> when it's fentanyl, it only takes one pill to stop your heart. >> sandra: heart broken parents all over the country detailing the horror of losing a child, and now dea say more children could be at risk. agents are increasingly seizing rainbow colored fentanyl pills when detaining drug smugglers. they look like candy and the bright colors are designed to attract younger users, and drug sales are continuing to be widespread on social media platforms. bring in kansas republican senator roger marshall. set to introduce a bill to report the social media companies to report all elicit

-- illicit drug activity on their preliminary. rainbow fentanyl, pill form, can look like candy, some describe it as powdered-looking substance that looks like sidewalk chalk. if the kids one time, and it can take their life. what do you plan to do about it? it's happening in your state. >> yeah, sandra. one pill can kill. let me just share the story of cooper davis, naming this legislation after. cooper and three of his friends got two percocet tablets, purchased them from snapchat. they took the four, the two percocet tablets, split them in half, cooper took one-half of what he thought was a percocet tablet and died. so, actually a half a tablet can

kill anybody. we want all social media, whenever there is any type of illicit drug traffic going on, we want them to proactively reach out to law enforcement officers and stop this. this is poisoning. these children, young adults, number one killer of young adults is fentanyl poisoning and it's not an accidental overdose. we are asking our d.a.s and county attorneys to try it as capital murder. we need your help. parents, take a look at what's going on in your children's social media as well. >> sandra: the distinction between overdose deaths is important, it's not like the kids are taking multiple drugs or too much of it, it is one time and not what they think it is. and it stops their heart and they die. here is the fentanyl death tally. in 2021, 71,000 in this country to be exact. 71,238. up 23% from 2020. this is an enormous problem. what makes you think, though,

that the social media companies who all they want to do is attract younger users are going to step in and interact with law enforcement to stop this. >> well, sandra, i hope they do it because it's the right thing and if they don't, it's when congress has to step in and tighter guardrails around them and then hold them accountable. we need legislation to say they have to proactively do it, and i can't go any further than to say this would not be so bad if it was not for joe biden's open borders. last month seized a ton, 2,000 pounds of fentanyl at the border. this is going to get worse, the kids are all going back to school. parents, please reach out, talk to your children and warn them. one pill can kill. >> sandra: and you think about the younger teenagers getting on social media platforms for the first time, parents are not always looking or able to look over their shoulder and they just can't see this activity. the social media giants, to your point, they can, and they can step in and do something about it. we'll watch what happens with

that. meanwhile, dr. anthony fauci announced he's going to step down i believe december after possibly republicans take over the house. he's not calling this a retirement, but still republicans are saying they are going to hold him accountable if they do take control of the house. here is senator kennedy on that. listen. >> dr. fauci, retirement or not, is going to be spending a lot of time in front of a congressional committee and committees if republicans take back control. we are going to ask him questions about function research, why he didn't push on china's lies and i would not advise dr. fauci to put down a nonrefundable deposit on a cruise. >> sandra: what do you want to see happen holding dr. fauci accountable during his actions during the pandemic. >> that simple, he needs to appear before congress and the people of america want to hold

him accountable for his lies. he misled the president by, if he would have came forward and told president trump, look, we have been doing this research on viral gain of function for years, this virus is out of wuhan, china, i think president trump would have locked down the country even tighter for longer. then he presented scientific theory as dogma and deceived the american public as well. he needs to be held accountable for his policies, which overreacted that led to shut downs of schools, shut downs of our economy and that's why we are sending a letter to hhs saying make sure you save all of dr. fauci's emails, all of his phone conversations, everything. we have been working for a year and a half now to get those. they are still not sending them to us and we are going to keep at it. we are going to hold dr. fauci and the cdc accountable. america deserves it. >> sandra: with the health committee and the senate. thank you for joining us. we will check back in with you on all of that. appreciate your time.

and throw up on the screen in the lower right-hand corner there, dr. anthony fauci and from the cdc director walensky will be joining neil cavuto this afternoon. >> john: it's a nice two-fer, and also talk about bret baier and what the fallout might be in the next hour of "america reports." stay tuned for that. meantime, massive primary day in america as voters in new york and florida choose their candidates for november's general election. some of the most powerful members of congress could be sent packing. josh is here to break it all down. >> sandra: police believe the body found in a northern california lake is indeed keily rodni. what happened in the moment up to her death when we return. >> allow them to work, come in and examine data, the vehicle, depending on circumstances it can be several days, it could be several weeks. subway's drafting 12 new subs,

>> sandra: california law enforcement are now performing an autopsy on the body officials believe to be keily rodni's. the 16-year-old, her car was found on sunday after she went missing about two and a half weeks ago. william is live for us in los angeles. he's got more details for us at this hour. so, william, are police still unsure the body is actually hers? >> right. and we are still waiting for the autopsy. should be this afternoon, but you are right. police have not yet positively identified her body yet last night keily's family issued this statement quoting, while we accept the sadness cast under death's shadow, the rising sun shines light upon us, reminding us not to mourn our loss, but to

celebrate keily's spirit. so, police have not suggested foul play but today's autopsy should provide a cause of death. toxcology will take weeks. did she simply drive her car off the road into the lake, impaired or something else, her boyfriend posted this yesterday. >> she wants us to be happy and safe and have a good life. that's all she ever wanted for anyone. i want each and every one of you to live the way keily would want you to live. >> second, why didn't police divers find her earlier? multiple departments combed the lake and found nothing. then sunday a volunteer group adventures with purpose got involved and found the car in about 35 minutes, 50 feet from the shoreline. >> we specialize in sonar, in

discovering vehicles underwater linked to missing persons cases. it's not necessarily a knock on law enforcement but if you don't know how to use it, you know, that's what we bring to the table. i put my dive gear on, got in the water and swam out to it, went down and pretty much within five seconds i recognized that it was missing vehicle we were looking for. it was upside down in about 14 feet of water. >> visibility could make a big difference and also the lake level had fallen. but volunteers and police put in some 20,000 man-hours looking for rodni, last seen the night of the party about 12:30, her phone went blank three minutes later. >> sandra: as we await more information on all of that, keep us posted. william, thank you. >> john: top story, primary day in america, voters in new york and florida are determining the fate of some of the most prominent and long serving

members of congress. josh, senior political correspondent for axios. all eyes on the 12th district in florida, carol maloney and gerald nadler are facing off against each other, for all the marble, one of them will not return to congress. >> clash of the political titans. longest serving and house democrats, drawn into the same manhattan district. and the "new york times" editorial page, the endorsement does not usually matter but they endorsed gerry nadler, chuck schumer and endorsement of nadler, a boost of momentum for one of the congressmen nadler. >> john: maloney is 76 years old, in congress 25 years, and nadler 75, been there for 30, and some are saying maybe the old guard should step aside for

new blood. >> that's not going to happen, in new york, more progressive challengers are taking on long standing incumbents and a third candidate, patel, running and hoping to run on the message but powerful iconic figures, looks like one will hold on. >> who do you put your money on? >> the endorsements give nadler the edge. >> john: and a couple others to sit out until january 3rd, ryan against molinaro, they could end up in congress, running on november 8th, on the 18th and the 19th district, but this is an important race because of optics. >> it gives a test what the political environment will look like in november. this is like the swing district, voted for obama, trump, and for biden. very competitive district and you have two pretty strong

candidates on both sides and national democrats and national republicans spending over a million dollars in this race. it's a biden plus two district. if a republican wins going away, a good sign for republicans. if ryan wins or if it's very, very close, democrats will make the argument they are gaining some momentum in the midterms. >> and the 23rd congressional district important, indicator of where we may be going. >> if democrats are closer than expected, it would be a good sign. >> let's go to florida, who will run against desantis, crist, a former governor and former republican turned democrat or nikki fried. >> crist has the edge, but democrats want someone more progressive, the issue of abortion, the dominant issue for democrats, nikki fried has made

that the central of her campaign. is charlie crist running in the democratic primary, fried is trying to get the progresstive energy and the base to pull off the upset. >> john: and val demings, former orlando police chief and congresswoman from that district looks like she has the edge in today's primary and polling pretty well against rubio. >> early polling, i would not read too much into it. but sure, like val demings is a very good candidate. talked about as a possible running mate for joe biden in 2020, a police chief, a lot of i innoculation against the attacks the democratic party is defunding the police, but rubio has not spent a whole lot of money, and desantis is the top of the tibt. even though florida is a close state, it's voted for republicans in the most recent

elections. >> john: and matt gaetz, he received the endorsement of trump on saturday, is that an edge or the cloud of scandal over his head? >> he looks like he's in good shape, the trump endorsement helps him out. those candidates that have legal trouble, ethical issues, they often underperform on a primary night. so worth watching. >> john: and a decision on the direction of the gop in this case. >> that's right. he wants the party to go in a more populist, and an opponent attacking him on air for his legal trouble. >> john: thank you for the analysis. await the results later tonight. happening just minutes ago in california, nancy pelosi's husband paul dodges more jail time as he pleads guilty for a drunken crash that left another driver injured. did the house speaker's husband

preferential treatment. >> well, that's right, sandra. paul pelosi is a convicted drunk driver, not here in person, but entered a guilty plea to one count of misdemeanor dui, second count was dropped and agreed to a long list of penalties that as you say enable him to avoid more jail time, including three years of probation, completion of a three-month dui course, court fines and fees of more than $1,700, another administration fine of $150, and 5 days in jail, but he gets two days of time served for when he was arrested and booked overnight at the napa county jail in may and two days of credit for good behavior. that leaves one day left which the judge said he can serve on a court approved work program instead. so basically community service. all because the 82-year-old drove home drunk from a dinner party causing a two-car crash

that totalled both vehicles and left the driver of the other car injured. according to the criminal complaint, that victim, 48-year-old man suffered soreness and headaches, he's wracked up medical bills and missed work, and nearly $5,000 in restitution, his insurance has replaced that man's jeep and what napa county district attorney just said about filing the charges as misdemeanors as opposed to felonies. >> so his injuries were there and certainly a result of the crash but not the kind of injuries we see in a felony case like lacerated livers, or disfiguring lacerations or broken bones or coma. no, i think this case had been unusual in sometimes i watch news coverage and it's like they are talking about a completely different case. >> as part of his sentence here, paul pelosi must also have a

breathalyzer device in stadium in his car, but that may not matter because once the court sends his conviction records up to the state, the d.m.v. will suspend his license for a year. bottom line, paul pelosi will not be getting behind the wheel of a car to drive any time soon. >> sandra: thank you. >> john: at least not without blowing into a tube first. jonna, when you look here, pled guilty to one charge, the other charge was dropped, they were almost identical, do you think there is any sign of preferential treatment here? >> no, i have to tell you. i've handled thousands of these cases in my day and this was entirely run of the mill but for one thing and that's the defendant himself. he's not an average citizen, he's not an average joe. i am a little bit surprised he pled guilty as opposed to no

contest because there was property damage and supposedly bodily injury and wanted to save himself from wrongdoing, no contest was the way to go. a guilty plea from paul pelosi is not the same as me or you. he doesn't need to drive, he doesn't need to work, he doesn't need to worry about his professional licenses, he doesn't need to worry about his criminal conviction. when an average person is in this situation and pleads guilty, everything can be affected. but when you are a rich old man who never had any business getting behind the wheel at all. he's rich enough, he could have had a whole team of lumberyards carrying him from the winery to the home, there's no excuse for him to have done what he did. the fact he pled guilty and will

take some ownership is a good thing, but not out of the ordinary. >> difference between misdemeanor and felony dui in terms of injuries to the other party. is that pretty standard? >> that is pretty standard. you don't get charged with a felony involved in an alcohol-related crash unless the injuries are serious. the other thing, was his bac, blood alcohol concentration was low in terms of what the legal standard is. it was .08. that's the threshold. now, they did wait two hours before taking his blood alcohol concentration and that means he could have been higher at the time he was driving and at the time he had the crash than he was at the time he took it. that might be another reason why he's escaping a longer happened of the law here. but it was a low bac. >> john: so what about that? it was noted in the incident report that there was a strong odor of alcohol on his breath yet he was not tested for two

hours and 15 minutes afterwards and you can metabolize alcohol fairly quickly, particularly if you've got a lot of adrenalin in your system because you have just been in a crash and arrested. should they not have taken the breathalyzer test at the moment of the crash? >> so that's interesting because normally, around here, when this happens to you, you are going to get your bac taken relatively quickly, depending how close you are to the nearest police station. five minutes, 20, it could be an hour. you are not supposed to wait longer than two hours to take somebody's blood alcohol concentration. like i said, you don't know what they were at the time they were operating the motor vehicle. so the fact that they waited a fairly long time might have been a wink and a nod to paul pelosi, but i guess it does not matter now that he's pled guilty to the one charge. the other charge is typically dropped. that's not different in any respect.

>> john: and what about the time served, in the jailhouse for a few hours but ran the course of two days because it crossed over midnight so he was only there for a few hours but credit for two days and then credit two days for good behavior and then court ordered work program for a day. is that pretty standard or does that indicate, i don't want to say they bent the rules for him, but that he got favorable treatment? >> no, that's pretty standard. jail has weird math. if i have a client that needs to do time in jail, they are out friday morning and are out friday night and that covers five days. it's routine. >> always about to be here. >> sandra: the white house keeps painting a rather rosy picture of the american economy and point to the jobs market. but it turns out more than half of all u.s. companies are planning layoffs. fox business correspondent will

of savannah, and attendees left with straw gift bags and signature alcoholic and in the alcoholic cocktails, and they were married in las vegas last month. affleck managed to get a no fly zone over the estate. >> sandra: i'm sure you had an invitation. a lot of questions over ben affleck claiming he wants so much security and privacy in his life, but yet that wedding was visible to so many. we have seen so many pictures already. >> john: and a mishap on the first day, his mother fell off a dock and cut her leg and had to go to the hospital on that. not to be the skunk at the wedding or the garden party, how long do you give it? >> sandra: oh, i'm not wishing ill on anyone. you know, i don't know.

apparently insiders say it is true love. so i wish them the best. >> john: you know, people often, they come full circle in life and did not work the first time, it works the second time. we'll see. we wish them the best. >> sandra: indeed. we'll be watching that and a growing number of u.s. companies are planning to lay off workers. a lot of uncertainty over the future of jobs, ford cutting 3,000 jobs. now a new survey finds more than half of all major companies in the u.s. are planning layoffs in the coming months. 52% are preparing for hiring freezes. 44% plan to rescind job offers. jackie joins us now. great to see you. this is scary to hear because the one thing, and the white house likes to tout this, that has been holding out in this economy has been the jobs market. we have been able to say there's millions of open jobs out there, and if somebody wants a job they

can certainly go find one. is that changing? >> it seems to be changing and i've been saying this is the next shoe to drop, so last week i was talking about some layoffs we have seen in tech, and big names with you, either slowing hiring or laying people off. alphabet, amazon, apple, microsoft, meta, peloton, twitter, netflix, tone is there are head winds coming, we are embracing that and ready for it. and target, walmart, best buy, lowe's, tj maxx are warning or lowering profit guidance. this is a fun summer, after labor day people to have to come back and face harsh realities. stock market just realized it yesterday. >> you are already seeing it. ford, that was a bit of a shocker. so, leaning in hard on going the easy route and so they are laying off in other parts of the company, 3,000 workers.

the current labor force participation rate, 62.1%. we have been watching this closely, why? >> we are watching that because it's lower than it has been historically, you don't have enough people participating in the labor market so the labor, the unemployment rate of 3.5% looks, you know, like everything is fine. people are still sitting home and collecting checks from their local and state governments, especially as we head into the back to school season and that was always my worry. why aren't people heading back to work? they know if they stay home, the spending bills passed will trickle back to them and still what's happening here with the passage of the inflation reduction act that will not reduce inflation. >> sandra: larry summers is weighing in on what could be an announcement from the biden administration on forgiving student loan debt. i hate saying that, it sounds so lovely, right. but what many are saying, and charles payne was talking about this, is that somebody always

has to pay for this, and who is on the hook? it's going to be the lower to middle income americans that pay for this student loan forgiveness end of day. larry summers is skeptical, i hope the administration does not contribute to inflation macro economically by offering unreasonably generous student loan relief. he's an economist from the obama era, and it's a dollar that could have supported those who did not get the opportunity to go to college. worst idea would be a continuation of the current moratorium that benefits among other highly paid surgeons, lawyers and investment bankers. he says it's going to benefit the rich and the lower income americans are going to pay for it. >> yeah, what pen wharton are saying, the newest stats. 70% of the debt relief accrues to the borrowers in the top 60% of the income distribution level. so that really is telling you everything you need to know. if you've got student loans, presumably you have a decent job and you know, the idea is you

pay them back over time like everybody else did before you. now they are saying let's forgive the student loan debt and they are going to end up taxing the lower income to pay for it on top of all the ridiculous spending that has not even hit the market yet. inflation is not going to go down when you keep putting all this money out there. you forgive the debt, people will spend the money elsewhere and raise the prices. >> sandra: and spending leading to inflation, how are you going to fix the problem? that's what we are seeing, more spending. great to have you. >> john: two dozen indictments handed down as a manhunt continues for gang members accused in home invasion robberies. and the victims they are targeting has some celebrities watching their backs. >> sandra: and another transgender athlete making a

inside the inflation reduction act, page 614 to be exact is a major expansion of the kind of federal loan that solyndra got a decade ago, bilked the obama administration for half a billion dollars, only this time it's on a much larger scale. so much so that a former assistant energy secretary in the clinton administration tells the "new york times" it's a "sleeping giant" because of the massive amount being made available now. now, let's go back and recall the energy department's loan programs began under president george w. bush in 2005. paved the way for guys like elon musk and electrical vehicles, but exposed also for waste and fraud when solyndra went bankrupt after squandering 535 million under failed solar panel loans under the obama

administration. now biden administration is adding 100 billion to existing loan programs and adding up to 250 billion in new loan guarantees in an effort to expand the solar panel use and other clean energy transitions, lofty goals, sandra, but gary ackerman, the founder and former executive director of the trading form is concerned we could see another solyndra without oversight. >> the projects expand to the size of money that is available. incentive to go bigger and not necessarily better. >> and the massive scale, again, 535 million is what solyndra got away with in 2011, you are talking about $250 billion new dollars. we reached out for comment on the new guarantees, yet to hear

back from them. >> john: victoria coates, senior fellow at the heritage foundation and former deputy national security adviser to president trump. the big complaint about the program, we should point out, launched in 2005, the bush administration, was that the federal government would be in the position of picking winners and using. and the case of solyndra, a lot of money into a failure. >> it's a grave concern, i was at the department of energy the last year of the administration and watched carefully how this money was disbursed, and we had a lot of oversight and concern about projects that sounded nice on paper like solyndra but did not work. >> john: elon musk took advantage of the loan in the time the tesla was making the s model and wanted to expand and turned it into the highest valued car company in the world.

so, i mean -- not everything is an solyndra. >> that's very true and a strong role for this kind of loan guarantee to encourage american innovation. we need to make sure we are doing it and allowing the innovation like elon to blossom where it blossoms and not putting our finger on the scale because we want it to go in a certain direction. >> john: two of the companies that might be up for new loan guarantees or new loans under the program, general motors and lg, apparently make 2.5, $2.6 billion to build battery plants for electric vehicles. seems to me like they're flush with cash. do they need a federal loan? >> indeed, and that's where you see the problems here and the greater disconnect is the legislation strongly encourages everyone to go electric on everything. but it does nothing to actually bolster the electric grid and you could look at secretary granholm's comments over the

weekend everything will be just fine because you can plug in your car. but if you are not generating a stable stream of electricity, that's not going to work. >> john: i did notice some potential supported here for nuclear power, and that really is an interesting idea because environmentallists are against nuclear person. i want to ask you about the iran deal. >> speaking of nuclear power. >> john: president spoke with macron and scholz and johnson, and why is the u.s. thinking about doing it with iran when they are plotting to kill two of your former colleagues, mike pompeo and john bolton. >> and i was on the list, too, i was sanctioned in january, i'm quite proud of that. but you know, disconnected from reality. a weak after salman rushdie is brutally attacked by someone at best was inspired by iran, at worst directed by iran.

>> john: twitter's former security chief dropping a bombshell, the whistleblower saying the social media giant lied about security vulnerabilities and allowed bots to finish in order to show user great. much of that at the center of elon musk's fight with twitter. wall street seems to think it might help musk in the upcoming trial. >> that's what investors think,

it helps elon musk and the walk away from the twitter takeover deal. whistleblower is twitter's former head of security who is a former hacker that was hired after the infamous hacks of celebrity and politician accounts back in 2020. he is filing a complaint not only with the justice department, but the ftc and accusing twitter of misleading regulators, investors and users, and serious lapses posing as a national security risk. also accusing one or more employees of being outright spies. >> there's an analogy of an airplane. you get on the airplane and every passenger and the attendant crew all have access to the cockpit, to the controls, you know, that's entirely unnecessary. might be easy. the>> in response, twitter says he was fired from his senior executive role at twitter in january for ineffective leadership and poor performance, adding what we have seen is a

false narrative about twitter and our privacy and data security practices. the whistleblower says the current c.e.o. is responsible for not only mismanagement, about you also the cover-up and also important to note that he was hired by the former c.e.o. jack dorsy, who was extremely disengaged in his final year at the company. the complaint also suggests twitter does not have the resources or the ability to fully account for the number of fake accounts or bots on the platform, as you know, central to elon musk's case to try to walk away from the twitter takeover deal. reports say musk's lawyer has already subpoenaed the twitter whistleblower for that upcoming trial in october, john. >> john: there do seem to be a lot of bots on twitter, no question about that. sandra. >> sandra: radical groups in the u.s. are spreading vladimir putin's propaganda, according to the feds who have charged a russian national with infiltrating u.s.-based fringe

groups to push a pro kremlin agenda. david spunt at the justice department. the doj announced an indictment a few weeks ago, the case is still active. >> it's quite active. no secret russia has tried to sow discord in the country for years, all the way going back to the cold war and continues today. this specific case is important because it deals with these political groups in the united states, federal prosecutors say the black hammer party, a group based in atlanta is part of a russian plot to create chaos in the united states, and another movement in florida. the russian national with kremlin connections named alexander ianov was secretly funding fringe political groups here in the united states. the goal, publish pro-russian propaganda. members of the black hammer party traveled to san francisco

to protest meta, facebook's parent company, for facebook's removal of pro-russian propaganda following the invasion, the russian invasion into ukraine. they claim he has ties to the russian secret spy agency. >> he was doing it in plain sight, he was using this movement in ats tashgs you know, as a conduit to disseminate russia's propaganda, he's doing that for sure, but he also wants us to know that he can get into our society and use his asymmetric spying operations to level the playing field with the united states. >> when reached by fox news, he told us directly, my opinion is simple, i was asked to voice my thoughts about ukraine, i voiced it. and other countries have voluntarily took part, i have

not violated u.s. laws and i will prove it. we have not heard yet back from the black hammer party. but the black hammer party was not charged in this specific indictment but we are told an investigation is still underway very much in this case. sandra. >> sandra: live at the justice department, thank you. >> john: speaking of vladimir putin, fox news alert now and after a half a year of russia waging war, something brand-new and alarming in ukraine, u.s. embassy officials are telling americans to get out of the country now, warning russia will step up efforts to attack civilian sites and government buildings in the coming days. >> sandra: alex, you are in capital, what's the latest on the ground there? >> hi, sandra. heightened concern heading into tonight. u.s. intelligence suggesting that they have received word of possible russian attacks, specifically on government buildings and civilian infrastructure. this is a very symbolic week

today. it's flag day. tomorrow is independence day, and government workers have been told this week to stay home. residents are advised not to gather in large groups. public transportation is shutting down early. tomorrow is the six month mark since the war broke out, and since then air raid sirens really have been the everyday sound that we hear here in ukraine. the government is now releasing new eerie warnings of more specific kinds of threats. in the event of an artillery launch, this alarm will notify residents. if it's a chemical attack, this new sound will echo throughout the city. and this siren will alert ukrainians of radiation danger. today i met with the former ukrainian president poroshenko and he says ukraine cannot keep up with the number of russian attacks, but it's the western military equipment holding back the war. >> ukraine hasn't a possibility

to give ten times less shelling than the russians, but it is more accurate, more long range. >> this evening here we also met with current president volodymyr zelenskyy in a press briefing, called for more rocket systems and long range weapons. the u.s. is planning to pledge a $3 billion aid package, could be announced as early as tomorrow. back here tonight in the capital of kyiv, warning residents to not avoid the sirens and to listen to them tonight. kharkiv in the east, one step further, creating a lockdown for the entire city for the next two days. sandra. >> sandra: thank you for your reporting from there, alex hogan in kyiv. >> john: the doctor is heading out, but not going quietly. dr. anthony fauci is leaving the government after more than 50 years of service and slamming his critics on the way.

fauci defending his shifting stances on covid, and saying his detractors are focussing on conspiracy theories. and he will receive $350,000 a year in pension. reportedly the largest retierpt package in u.s. history. bret baier, that's a healthy pension, no question about that, bret. but fauci may find himself still in the spotlight because if republicans take over control of congress as is expected, they plan to haul him before several committees. what kathy mcmorris rogers, could become chair, said we need answers to many questions around the government's failed covid-19 pandemic response, how the pandemic started and risky research without proper oversight in china. the big question being, did the

nih under fauci look at gain of function research on some of the dangerous viruses. >> that is the question, and a lot of people on capitol hill are asking that question and want to hear under oath from dr. fauci. now listen, his federal benefits, he's been working for the federal government technically for 55 years, that accrues over time and that's something people get, that's a long-term of service there, 55 years. but, it's under controversy because not just of the covid back and forth and how the guidance evolved and frustrating that was for people, but really the origins question is a big, big deal on capitol hill, especially in republican circles. >> john: you mentioned rand paul, he tweeted out fauci's resignation will not prevent a full throated investigation into the origin of the pandemic. he will be asked to testify any discussions he participated in

concerning the lab leak. one of the things that fauci gets dinged for is saying almost unequivocally, and still think he's saying it to this day, that this did not emanate from the wuhan institute of virology, contrary to a lot of evidence that other people have amassed. >> well, i had him on special report and the answer has evolved a little bit, and that is he keeps an open mind. it was far more definitive at the beginning saying it was definitely from an animal in the wet market in wuhan, but there is an open mind answer to it now. you are right, there are more and more organizations that look back at this and the virus itself and how it has acted and say it looks more likely it came from a lab. and the early emails exchanged between dr. fauci, dr. collins, other medical experts, seem to suggest that they were at least trying to keep that option off

of the public sphere at the beginning, and clearly weren't 100% that it was from an animal. >> john: i'll tell you, anybody who posited the theory it came out of a laboratory, conspiracy theory, and we will hear from dr. fauci in the 4:00 hour, but here is what he said earlier on another network. >> i believe oversight is a very important part of government structure, and i welcome it and can be productive. but what has happened up to now is more of the character assassination than it is oversight. so sure, i would be happy to cooperate so long as we make it something that is a dignified oversight which it should be, and not just bringing up ridiculous things and attacking my character. that's not oversight. >> john: he indicated he would participate in congressional hearings if they were not just

attack on his character. he can't control what happens in the hearings. >> bret: either shows up or doesn't, but has a little more leeway if he is not working for the federal government and they would have to go down the subpoena route to get him there and i think he's suggesting he wants to negotiate to see how the hearing ends up. >> john: see if that works. wall street journal yesterday in an editorial dinged fauci for conflicting messages and said this, whether you met him personally or not, he has touched all american lives with his work. president biden said monday about fauci's resignation. that's true enough, the editorial board says but legacy will be that millions of americans will never trust government health experts in the same way again. as he's on his way out the door, and not there yet, conflicting messages over masks and the evolving messages over the virus, the origins of the virus, is that forever tainted his

career? >> bret: i mean i think so. so many people are angry how it transpired and biggest among them are parents, watched their kids struggle through two and a half plus years dealing with school and some are still doing that with masks and other mandates. i think there is a cloud over this, at least the end of his career. he's done some amazing things at the beginning, 55 years is a long time. but yeah, there are skepticisms. >> john: bret baier, we will see you tonight at 6:00 for special report. thank you as always. appreciate it. and not only will neil be talking about dr. fauci, but rochelle walensky, centers for disease control is also on the hot seat to speak with him as well. must see tv. >> sandra: two faces we all became very familiar with during the pandemic. we'll see what they have to say a short time from now.

>> sandra: indicator of the u.s. housing market showing a steep decline in new home sales. in fact, reaching a six-year low down for a six straight month, prices remain high and mortgage rates go up. larry kudlow, larry, we always say it for most people this is the single largest investment any of us will ever make in our lives. our homes. what's happening with the housing market? >> yeah, looks really bad. it's got recession written all

over it. in fact, nasty recession. today's numbers, you are down 30% 12 month change, last three months, you are down 54%. existing home sales that came out last week, nearly as bad, not quite as bad, but they are down six straight months. and i also pulled up for us housing starts which is the ultimate leading indicator of all that. single-family housing starts down 19% for the last 12 months. and permits for those starts are down 12% over the past three months, single-family permits down 51% at an annual rate. >> sandra: so uncertainty about what's happening with the american economy, entering recession, whatever you want to call it, significant declines in economic activity in the country. at the same time, while new home sales, existing sales, housing starts are coming down, prices remain elevated. they are not budging. interest rates are going up. why aren't the prices of these

homes dropping as a result? >> larry: that's a problem because affordability is a problem. number one, people are getting wage and compensation gains but not as fast as inflation, so real wages are falling. people can't afford it, and interest rates have gone up, mortgage rates have gone up. just about doubled in the past 12 months. >> sandra: this is incredible, the median, the average home price in july for a new home, 439,000. still looking at record highs, that was up 9%, larry. >> larry: i'll take the under. a big downward adjustments. rents will be an ongoing problem but that's more for the cities because you have regulations and zoning requirements and all kinds of things that prevent people from building properly, so urban rents may stay high. that will also become a problem. these housing prices have to come down. i mean, look, you are seeing --

i don't like this. i like growth, i like prosperity, i don't care who the president is. numbers coming in, companies are firing. initial unemployment claims are rising, it's the leading indicator of the jobs market. there was a story in the new york post today, some major wall street c.e.o.s are predicting recession even while the economic departments are waffling. people on the front lines, i talked to somebody today who ran fedex for a long time, fred smith, wonderful man, he says they are just seeing big, big declines everywhere. >> sandra: that's a huge indicator. i want to get your reaction to this story, because while all of that is happening, there is this changing, i don't know how you'll put it, a changing way the workforce in america looks and feels and a lot of people feel they don't need to return to the office. apple is saying need to come

back three days a work to the office and the apple worker petition says we believe apple should encourage, not prohibit, flexible work to build a more diverse and successful company where we can feel comfortable to think different together. that should be an adverb, differently, ok. but that is a petition from tech workers saying no, you are calling on us to return to the office, we have decided we like to work from home. >> larry: we like to work from home. what a pity they have to come in three days a week. how about john? you read the story, apple together, they are saying that if you force them to work, listen to this, a younger, wider and more male-dominated workforce. now, that has left wing woke written all over it.

>> sandra: how is apple supposed to respond to that? >> john: they have to respond to that. i was very pleased to see and the other articles, zuckerberg says you know, realistically, a bunch of people at the company who shouldn't be here. elon musk said people have to do a 40-hour work week to go into the office. when i was a child, admittedly three centuries ago, but started to work, you suited up and you went to work. >> sandra: and you make your bed first. >> larry: i got that. >> sandra: and they are quiet quitting now. >> larry: you got to know your colleagues better, cooperative, and hash out problems. we all can't just stick around in our little home offices and do as we want. there have to be rules. companies have to have rules. >> sandra: can you imagine if we were on the tv screen and never interated like we do in the hallway or the set, a different relationship. it's important. great to see you. pass it back to the slacker,

but came up short. the 29-year-old trans golfer did qualify for the lower grade ep son tour, where at last check is not listed in the next epson tour event this friday in idaho. the trans golfer had gender reassignment surgery last year, and now hits it 15 miles per hour slower. she says her detractors have a fear of trans people. if i play bad, people will feel justified. oh, well, she played bad and was not good enough. if i do anything good, it won't be because of the fact i put my whole life into this, it would be because i'm trans. davidson critics say it does not matter what a trans female athlete ability is, you can't undo male puberty. >> the reason we separate men's and women's golfers for competition, and the reason why women's tees are often closer than men's tees on virtually

every course anywhere in the country is because there is a big difference between the size, strength and power of a man and a woman. >> tennis great andy murray's mother, judy murray, tweeted saying no, not fair at all. protect women's sport. listen to the facts, the scientists and the medics. this is wrong. hailey davidson's mom, the golfer fired back to andy murray's mom saying she has no right to give her opinion on something she knows nothing about. >> john: matt, thank you so much and tomorrow we will bring on somebody who knows a lot about the game of golf, caitlyn jenner to talk about this. a number of months ago when caitlyn joined fox, i asked her, do you feel stronger than the average woman. >> sandra: i remember. >> john: an athlete born a woman and she said she did because she can hit the ball an awfully long

way, close to 300 yards. so, the advantages gained through puberty do not necessarily become completely eliminated when you undergo gender reassignment or hormonal therapy. >> sandra: she always speaks very honestly about the subject. ultra liberal "new york times" creating a so-called right wing media beat. the paper claiming it's needed to help readers understand why conservatives would vote the way they do. our next guest says another example of the "times" catering to its audience. joe concha. what are we doing here? great to have you here, sir. great to see you. what is the goal with this offering to their audience? >> i was looking for the job posting for the person who covers left wing media, i don't see that. i guess they are pacing themselves.

foxnews.com did some homework on this, looked at 577 "times" articles, over the past couple of months. in those 577, all right, right wing media is mentioned, all right, only 48, say left wing media, not good at math. >> sandra: shocked, not shocked. >> 12-1 ratio. the same paper, called the paper of record, have not endorsed a republican presidential candidate, back to the 1950s, 14 straight elections. yay mondale or carter who got blown out or dukakis or kerry, it has morphed to activism and you have the journalists and news organizations who believe that they need to take down what they deem is right wing media just because to make the world a better place to save democracy, where i don't know, i come from the school of thought, why not just go after both sides, right?

>> sandra: and hear all viewpoints and present to all viewpoints. as you mentioned, fox doing some great reporting on this, and "new york times" issued a statement saying our media and technology desks thoroughly cover many aspects of hyper partisan media and misinformation when relevant. the politics desk created a new beat on this topic because many americans rely solely on right wing media for their information, which often bears little resemblance to what is being reported in mainstream media. we want our readers to be informed about what is driving the political decisions of many americans. >> i would say go back to the "new york times" opinion pages, op-ed pages and try to find one over the last four weeks, homework assignment at home, one over the last four weeks either pro desantis, pro republican candidate, right, and you tell me if they are really giving both sides of the stories, in the news reporting, often times you see news analysis on page

one, an opinion disguised as one, or the opinion pages. it does not exist. go back to the days of "meet the press," challenge both sides without fear or favor. and midterms, you are going to see a full on press against republican candidates and for democratic candidates but very traditional media outlets, they take a side, let's face it. >> sandra: very interesting. they are trying to explain the move. see what the new beat looks like. >> john: sandra, too cute to kill? no, we are not talking about joe concha. wait until you hear about the bugs that some activists are refusing to squish. tyrus has some thoughts about this, he joins us coming up. it's dr. scholl's time. our insoles are designed with unique massaging gel waves, for all-day comfort and energy. find your relief in store or online.

>> sandra: a destructive bug spreading so fast officials in the northeast are telling people to kill it on sight. >> john: turns out even invasive

insects have sympathizers. a "new york times" profile today carrying the headline "in the lantern fly wars, some take the bug side." who better to weigh-in on this than tyrus. apparently this is very important. it's been spotted across 11 states. there's objectors that are saying this squish on sight thing, they not only don't buy it but they'll do whatever they can to protect the lantern flies from feet. try to put them out of existence. >> a lot of people don't know this. i was a zoology major in college before i learned it didn't work. so you guys came to the right place. i understand they're cute and shiny. where they live, where they from come from, they have natural predators.

the plants have evolved with them so they have natural immunities to fight with them. they're running rum shot over our vegetation and other species. it's for our indigenous predatory species, it's harmful to them. if you like salads, et cetera, you have to put these guys down. live by the simple rule i have. if you're outside, you're call. in you come in my house, you're a fool. if you're not from where we are here, you'll feel the bottom of my foot. stomp, squish. don't look away. you hear the crunch, you did your job. >> sandra: for anybody that watches any invasive plants, you can see what it does to riverbanks, habitats of other owners. if it gets away from you, it's hard to get it back. is this a sign that we've become

too sensitive? >> i don't know if it's sensitive or allow ago lot of ignorant people to try to put fact behind feeling. because it's cute doesn't mean it's good for you. this species does a lot of damage. we've had issues in this country. there was a wood beetle that was destroying trees left and right. there was talk about in the waters of florida we have snakehead fish wiping out populations and then the python situation in florida. invasive species do a lot of damage and usually at the hand of man. we need to do our part. we bring them in recklessly and need to take them out recklessly. >> john: some people like jody smith, quoted be i "the new york times," union square manhattan said oh, we have to kill all the pomeranians people might feel differently. >> if they were eating the fruit

and innovative species, the cutis have to go. >> brilliant or criminal. a yankee fan turns a hot dog into a beer straw. it has gone viral. i don't know what the it is but this is disgusting. tyrus, you have five seconds. >> no. i imagine his beer will take like hot dog water? >> john: the crime there is not using a hot dog as a straw, but it's using a straw in a beer. >> thank you. >> sandra: thanks, tyrus. that's it for us. i'm sandra smith. i'm john roberts. >> martha: yum, hot dog beer. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. breaking now, israel outraged as president biden steps closer to rejoining the nuclear weapons deal with iran that president trump walk away from. so would that make us safer or would it make the world a more dangerous place? john kirby joins us on
