and lifting the suitcase on an airplane. >> saying, however the hiring happens a the chic-fil-a, everyone needs to implement it. best in the world. >> thanks, here is "america reports." >> john: people love chic-fil-a, that and the shake. skyrocketing costs have families struggling in all sorts of ways in america, so bad that even marriages are paying the price. different definitions of what makes the cut. >> whether it's salad or a six-pack, otherwise perfect marriages to get messy. we'll speak to one couple who knows all about how that feels coming up. >> begin with the fox news alert. texas taking the immigration crisis to the front yard of

kamala harris, critics say has done nothing to solve the problem. john roberts in washington. happy fridayie. >> sandra: two bus loads of migrants arriving on the vice president's doorstep from the texas del rio sector, in direct response to her claims over the weekend that the border is secure. >> meanwhile, trouble in paradise. border crisis making its way to the ritzy island of martha's vineyard, two planes of migrants were dropped off there yesterday. desantis citing massachusetts status an a sanctuary state to send them there. >> the white house to face questions moments from now on all of this. highlights from that as theyp ha. but griff jenkins, he is live at the naval observatory talking to the migrants as they step off the busses, so griff, what have they been telling you? >> well, they are saying something very different,

sandra, than what vice president harris said. now governor abbott has been sending nearly 200 busses of nearly 8,000 migrants to d.c. since april but never to the naval observatory. take a look at this video, they are getting off, 101 in total, most of them were from venezuela, others from cuba, nicaragua, and panama. we spoke to one migrant who definitely does not agree with the state of the border as vice president harris says, take a listen. >> everybody thinks the border is open, it's open because we enter, we come in, free. >> it's open for you to come illegally? >> right. we see on the news that everybody come in illegally. we do the same. >> sandra, all of those migrants have been taken by local ngos to a church, but we are here by the national president of lulac, the nation's oldest and largest latino civil rights organization, mr. garcia, your

reaction to governor abbott sending the migrants here. >> i'll tell you what, jesus is very upset with governor abbott. treating refugees as political pinata and stunts, dropping them off at 6:00 in the morning in front of the vice president's house, inhumane and human trafficking. >> one of the migrants says the border is indeed open, that's why he came across and he saw so many coming before him, but yet vice president harris says the border is closed. so i ask you, is this border secure, is this border closed or is it open as the migrants say? >> we have had a record number of deportations. if you are mexican or central american, you are going to be deported. these are venezuelans, and asking for refugee status and they are allowed. >> is the administration being honest with the migrants about the state of the border being open and enticing them to come in large numbers.

>> i think the reality is we need to have a bipartisan solution to fixing our broken immigration system. i agree, it's broken, and some people get in, some people don't, and it's just -- needs to be fixed, both republicans and democrats working together. otherwise they play the blame game. >> we'll see if it happens. not much appetite for bipartisan reform immigration on the hill, but abbott says he will keep the busses rolling out of texas to bring relief to his overrun border cities. >> sandra: fascinating conversation there, griff. live in d.c., happening in realtime. the white house press briefing to take place a short time from now. we will see how the white house will be responding to this. >> john: one migrant griff talked to, said as far as they are concerned the border is open and that's the message they are getting by watching the news there in venezuela as well. we have tom homan, we've got

also coming up steve danes and dave rubin to talk about this, a lot to cover on "america reports." >> sandra: looking forward to that. >> john: 54 days to the midterms, a twist to the latest poll. 44% of voters say they would prefer a democratic candidate on the generic ballot, only 41% would support a republican running for office. reversal due in large part to abortion rights, more voters say it's playing a role in their decision. fox news contributor, katie, let's put the numbers back on the screen. remarkable turn around here. back in july it was 44% of people wanted a republican candidate, 31% wanted the democratic candidate. now, two months later, the numbers are reversed. why? >> registered voters not yet of likely voters and when you look at the way that people pay attention after labor day, democrats have been hitting the campaign trail on issues they think are going to bring out their base, abortion being one

of those things. but when it comes to what's happening on the campaign trail, you mentioned president biden, his approval rating is up. well, it's interesting to watch and see if the candidates who have been distancing themselves from him will now decide to have him on the campaign trail in places like ohio, georgia, pennsylvania, for example. so president biden has been trying to tout wins at the white house, they believe the student loan bailout was good for their base, that's something that blue collar americans, 68% of americans who don't have a college degree disagree with. however, that is something thae h -- they have wanted to get their side of the aisle ready for the election, they are trying to get to the polls. >> john: you mentioned the approval numbers are up, and what, i thought they were down. a new a.p. poll shows his approval rating has gone up dramatically, nine points from july until now, it was 36% approval in july, it's now 45%.

how did he turn it around, or is there an outlier? >> other polls, he's at 39%, 40%. so a.p. may have polled people who were more in favor of the president's policies, the white house has been trying to push his agenda out from the white house, they have held a number of events recently, see if the polling is consistent when it comes to the future and again, as i said, democratic candidates on the campaign trail try to distance themselves from the president because of his approval rating and you are not seeing that with the candidates in wisconsin, ron johnson is leading, and in arizona with lake ahead of her opponent t there. >> john: inflation, high prices, 19% say the top issue, abortion 2, 16%, and jobs, and 15%, top issue for democrats, abortion bracketed by inflation and jobs, should play to the republican

side of things. however, just as the president was taking it on the chin for high inflation number on tuesday, south carolina senator lindsey graham said we need a federal abortion bill, capping at 15 weeks, he was asking about the timing last night. >> i don't think there's a bad day to stand up for the unborn. what am i trying to say, that america needs to have a policy that makes us a civilized nation. >> john: so we were chatting before we came on here and you don't disagree with the principle, you thought the timing was -- >> yes, timing on the day the president was holding a garden party at the white house celebrating inflation, when we had a horrible number on inflation, american families are pa paying $1,000 an average a month. but democrats on the hill have introduced legislation that

would wipe out the pro life bills after the supreme court kicked the issue back to the states. when it comes to lindsey graham's bill, he is simply saying let's come to a compromise with the majority of the american people. there was a harvard poll that came out after dobbs in june this summer that showed 75% of women believe in restrictions on abortion after 15 weeks. the majority of the country is there when it comes to restrictions on abortion. 60% of democrats believe there should be restrictions at 15 weeks. on the campaign trail you have democrats framing republicans as extremists and yet people like stacey abrams, warnock, fetterman in pennsylvania, when they are asked if they believe in any restriction on abortion, they say, including up to the moment of birth they don't believe in restrictions. so the graham bill is far more in line with what the american people think and democrats should be put in the position to have to defend why they are extreme on the issue as they try to paint republicans as the ones

who are out of touch. >> john: could have waited until next week. >> maybe the timing could have been slightly better. >> john: thanks for kicking us off. >> sandra: the violent ex-con accused of kidnapping and murdering memphis teacher eliza fletcher back in court. arraigned on an unrelated rape charge from last september of last year. that crime happened less than a year after his early release from prison. jonathan is joining us from atlanta. this brings up the bigger question, why was this man, why was he ever released from jail early? >> cleotha henderson was released after serving 20 years of a 24-year service, conviction of a third crime, kidnapping of a local attorney back in the year 2000. now, the district attorney initially said he was paroled

but later issued a correction that was not the case. court documents obtained by fox news digital suggests henderson received credit for time he had spent in jail prior to his sentencing in the 2000 case, which is required by law. but after his release, investigators say henderson kidnapped and raped a woman at gunpoint, in september of last year. but he was never indicted for that crime until just last week. back in 2021, memphis police collected samples for a rape kit similar to the ones you see in this file video. they submitted the kit to the tennessee bureau of investigation for analysis. without a suspect the samples were added to a backlog of kits and not tested until august 29th of this year. days before the abduction and murder of memphis teacher eliza fletcher. dna evidence collected from that

crime scene matched the 2021 rape case linking henderson to both crimes. now that henderson is facing murder charges in connection with the eliza fletcher case, he is being held without bond. sandra. >> sandra: tough story. thank you, jonathan. john. >> john: fox news alert, await the white house daily briefing and we have just learned about a meeting there tomorrow between president biden and the families of britteny griner and paul whelan, both of them behind bars in russia. >> sandra: the administration has been negotiating the release, we have been told for months now. so far no breakthroughs. the so what do tomorrow's meetings mean with these families? we could find out when the briefing begins moments from now. >> john: also sure to be a hot topic, busses carrying migrants from texas straight to the vice president's house. she has taken heat for months.

>> sandra: v.p. frustrating texas officials when she said over the weekend the border is secure. will today's bus arrivals make her see things differently? we'll ask tom homan. he'll be here next. >> you talk about being tone deaf and out of touch. kamala harris over the weekend said the border is secure. maybe she says that because she has not been to the border to see how out of control it is. this is john. he never gives up—no matter what life throws his way. high cholesterol. heart disease. 17 fad diets... 5 kids... 3 grandkids... 1 heart attack. and 18 passwords that seem to change daily. with leqvio, john can lower his cholesterol— and so can you. when taken with a statin,

reigning monarch. she will lie in state for four fall days, funeral set for monday. and people are coming from around the world to stand in that line. it's quite extraordinary. >> sandra: we were just watching the live video inside and they wait that long time just to pay their respects. it's really moving. the queen will lie in state until her funeral monday. and prince harry turns 38 years told as he continues to mourn the passing of his grandmother. so that live look there continues in london. a beautiful sight as well. meanwhile, republican governors giving more democratic strong holds a taste of the border crisis. texas governor greg abbott dropping off two bus loads of undocumented migrants outside of kamala harris's home. desantis also has gotten involved sending two planes full of migrants to martha's vineyard. let's bring in tom homan now,

former acting ice director, and fox news contributor. great to have you here today. obviously you have spoken out on this issue for a very long time. to you first of all agree with the month of now on the part of governor desantis following others sending the migrants to martha's vineyard and now also being sent to kamala harris's doorstep? is this effective in your view? >> absolutely. look, you know these sanctuary cities, they entice illegal immigration by saying get to the country illegally and get to the city, we will protect you. it's a huge magnet. and this morning ending up at kamala harris's home, she has went on the record last week twice saying the border is secure. all she has to do is walk down to where griff jenkins is and talk to the people on the sidewalk, and the same thing they told griff. they came because the border was open. they simply walk across, it was

not secure and one migrant thanked president biden, so there, case closed, vice president harris. there is your underlying reasons. there is your core reasons this immigration crisis. they will tell you on the sidewalk with griff, biden's open border policies. >> sandra: and i think we should be clear, too, that the migrants are not being lured on to the texas busses. bill is being very specific in his reporting, responding to bob mendez saying it's outrageous, they are lured like human traffickers on the busses unknowing where they are going to. as bill continues to report, all the migrants have to sign waivers and they have to choose which city they go to. some are happy for the transport, the head of ngo in eagle pass told another network, cnn g that they go willingly and enjoy the free ride, tom. >> look, they are going to sanctuary cities anyway, they

know they will be protected. i've heard, and lori lightfoot and adams and bowser, saying it's mean, inhumane, using them as political pawns. how come they didn't say a word about the 1.7 million migrants that have been thrown into the united states, bussed all over the country by the biden administration. is that inhumane, is that mean? they have not said a word about that. a point this morning, they say it's mean, cruel, no, what's happening on the border, 31% of women get sexual assaulted used by the cartels, children are dying in the river, over 100,000 fentanyl deaths. you want to talk about inhumane and mean, open borders are killing not only americans but the migrants. talk about the open border crisis rather than a political chess game.

>> sandra: fox is reporting that this is a direct response to kamala harris saying this over the weekend. listen. >> the border is secure. we also have a broken immigration system and particular over the last four years before we came in and it needs to be fixed. we also have to put in place a law and a plan for a pathway for citizenship, for the millions of people who are here. >> sandra: okay, she said that sunday. then griff jenkins doing the reporting to your point, tom, asked a migrant this. the exchange. >> vice president harris said that the border is closed. is the border closed, do you believe the border is closed or open? >> it's open, not closed. the border is open. >> the border is open. do you believe all the migrants believe the border is open? >> everybody, the border is open, it's open because we enter, you come in free.

no problem. >> sandra: the border is open, it's open, we come in freely, tom. he said it there. >> if she cares about the issue she can walk 200 yards from her home to the sidewalk and get that straight from the aliens themselves and i'm sick and tired of them saying they inherited a broken system. look, the trump administration gave us the most secure border in my lifetime, illegal immigration 40-year low, illegal immigration down 83%. they came in and dismantled the most secure border we ever had. they broke the system. we built a great system. and because we built a great system, because illegal immigration was down 83%, how many women didn't get assaulted, how many children didn't die, or overdoses, president trump did a great job on the border and the first administration i know of in secured our southern border, which is just unbelievable.

>> sandra: tom, thank you very much for joining us. i don't know, maybe one day she does walk down the street and talk to those folks or head down to the border, we'll see. she is still in charge of what is an absolute mess at our southern border and now it is all over the country. am thank you very much, tom. >> you've got it. >> john: immigration now, critics of president biden's border policy say they are leading to billions of dollars going into the pockets of cartels who are smuggling migrants into the country, often in deplorable conditions. justice department revealing how bad it can get, a major takedown of human traffickers. gillian turner is here with some of the shocking images. karine jean-pierre said people are not walking across the border. >> she said look, nobody is simply walking across the border illegally, we're getting a

financed look from law enforcement showing us how people are making the way here. one of the largest human smuggling rings operating inside the u.s., including states like mississippi, alabama, louisiana, and texas. listen. >> we are here to announce the unsealing of an indictment in a case charging eight defendants with human smuggling. >> rise in dangerous smuggling from central america and impacting our border communities. >> gillian: joint task force alpha has uncovered thousands of migrants from central america and mexico, involving some of the most dangerous conditions border patrol says they have ever witnessed. stuffed into wooden cargo crates and piled on top of flatbed trucks before being transported across the border. others stuffed inside suitcases and emptied out water tanks. comes as the biden administration faces increasing chris sichl over the border

crisis, more than a million migrants crossing the border in over a year. the white house insists the crisis is former president trump's fault. take a listen. >> we are taking unprecedented action. we had to fix something that was broken, especially by the last administration. >> right now we are awaiting the official august border crossing numbers, but sources are telling us the total number of encounters this fiscal year has surpassed the 2 million mark, as you know, that's with more than a month to spare. >> john: yeah, exactly. september 31st the end of the fiscal year, and we are seeing this -- >> gillian: just under a month. >> john: and seeing this hitting a new level with the migrants bussed or flown across the country. >> gillian: changing if not the dynamic, the conversation in washington where the people are going. sandra. >> sandra: married couples, they have plenty of disagreements

along the way. did you ever think it would be over groceries? we'll talk to a husband and wife who have been bickering, they say, over their food choices at the grocery store as prices surge. >> john: so many sausages. plus the border crisis allowing fentanyl to flow freely into the united states. one republican senator says the biden administration is not solely to blame. steve danes from montana says social media companies need to step up and do something. he's here to explain how. >> it's a disaster for america. we are in the largest drug crisis, the most significant drug crisis, the most deaths in the country from the illicit drugs. ever-changing market. the right relationship with a bank who understands your industry, as well as the local markets where you do business, can help lay a solid foundation for the future. pnc provides the resources

and he was poisoned, murdered by 100% fentanyl in anchorage, alaska, so far from the southern border. >> this drug is beyond anything that has ever hit our country before. it's a 747 crashing every day in the united states, and our government does nothing about it. >> john: the crisis at the border is allowing deadly amounts of fentanyl into the united states. opioid crisis the number one cause of death in young adults and ripping families and communities apart. our next guest says stopping this is not only up to the biden administration, steve danes says social media giants need to crack down on drug dealers using the platforms to target kids and he took action this week, the senator joins us now. thanks very much for being with us. the action that you took was to send a letter to the ceos of snapchat, youtube, instagram and tiktok, what you wrote, criminal drug networks are mass producing

fentanyl-laced pills and exploiting the southern border , and you are a convenient venue for dealers to pedal to a young audience, four in ten of the pills containing a lethal dose of fentanyl, more and more online transactions are ending in tragedy. first question i have for you, have you heard back from any of them yet? >> we have not heard back yet but as you stated, this is the leading cause of death for americans 18 to 45. more so than suicide to traffic accidents. this is a national crisis. in fact, i brought along an artificial sweetener. if this was fentanyl, it's enough to killed 500 people in this little packet. our staff members this morning create a fictitious name and went online to one of the platforms. within five minutes they had a response offering to sell these

drugs from a drug dealer, screen shot here. this was five minutes of being online, this is the response. so very, very easy to get. so we have to have the social media companies step up their efforts to take these sites down and then to coordinate with one another. they bump around from site to site, they'll move around. they've got to coordinate this. this is absolutely a crisis. you heard those terrible stories of young people now, it just takes a couple of grains, like grains of salt, deadly dose of fentanyl. playing around with something so deadly and our young people are getting them, it comes from mexican cartels, across the southern border, to drug dealers and then to the social media platforms. >> john: senator, so many times we have covered tragic stories of a teenager who was looking for a p ill to help them sleep, got fentanyl instead and died, and so many times it traces back to social media. and you think these companies

are so quick to restrict certain content on their platforms, yet they are not restricting this. it does not make sense. >> it doesn't. why is so much time and effort spent on censoring conservative thought, stopping platforms that promote center-right issues and allow drug dealers to be online preying on young people. remember, this is a massive business. these mexican cartels are making billions of dollars. sadly we are seeing this the leading cause of death for young people in the united states as we speak here today. it's got to stop. we need to have the social media companies coordinate and a full-court press focused on stopping the drug dealers from preying upon the young people of the united states. >> john: one of the big questions, how bad is the problem. according to the centers for disease control and fox news, fentanyl deaths double in 30 states over the past two years.

107,000 drug deaths between november of 2020 and november of 2021. pt 66% of those deaths were from synthetic opioids. so this is a real crisis here now, and not only that, but these teenagers who go online looking for a high or something to help them sleep or keep them awake, they don't know the pill that they are getting could quite possibly kill them because fentanyl is in literally everything these days. >> john, there have been story after story of, you know, heart broken parents telling the story about a child, for example, tried to find atarel, and laced with fentanyl. you are poisoned by it. a few grains of salt the equivalent lethal dose for fentanyl. this is something we have not seen before in terms of how lethal it is, dangerous it is and why as a nation we have to

come together and get everybody on board here, including the social media companies to put an end to this. >> john: senator steve daines from the great state of montana. thanks for coming on. and let us know when you hear back from the ceos. and people say we have heard of big drug busts along the border, an example the biden administration policies are working. but for every bust that's made, how much fentanyl is getting through. >> sandra: you go back to the sound we just played out of that family who lost their child and they live in alaska, noting how farther from the southern border and how it directly impacted their family, and a chilling message how easy to obtain the stuff for kids when they go online, john. >> john: it's incredible. and here is the thing. you can't trust anything that you buy online because it could kill you. >> sandra: it's a big warning, and it's a huge problem out there. john, thank you.

it is getting more and more expensive, meanwhile, to put a roof over your head. u.s. home prices are up more than 6% in the last year alone as inflation keeps spiralling out of control and on top of that, mortgage rates are triggering a drop in demand for home loans in this country. affordability is getting tough. fox business madison alworth is here. is there any relief in sight? so many people are talking about this right now. >> sandra, i wish i could say yes. the challenges both rent prices and mortgage rates rising, so americans don't really have a place to turn when it comes to housing. mortgage demand for home buyers has fallen 29% since last year. experts expecting it to get worse. that's because buying your new home is going to continue to get more expensive. right now a 30-year mortgage rate has surpass 6%, first time since 2008. keeping the rental market very hot. one single mother in miami did

not want to go on camera, her rent has increased from 2500 to $5,000 a month. her lease is up in november. she has to decide before then. either have to pay up or move with her son to a new apartment which would also mean a new school for him already during the school year. i spoke to another miami resident, juliana, trying to move out of her parents' house for the past year but rents doubling in some cases, she's given up. >> honestly at this point, you know, you just have to continue working hard and like hopefully cross your fingers for that promotion, but until then, i'm kind of trying to be patient and take it easy. >> she's trying to save for a house, but housing is a huge driver of inflation. it's coming in hotter than expected at 6.2% for housing. that's well above our income rates today. median income is just under $62,000 a year. the median home price, close to half a million. so, as interest rates rise and

housing prices remain high, there is more demand for rentals, why landlords like i showed in some cases are able to charge double. >> sandra: that is really happening right now. >> it's really happening and you have to live somewhere. >> sandra: indeed. madison, thank you. >> john: 6%, have not seen that for a long time. russian president vladimir putin with the high profile meeting with xi jinping, and russia sees huge setbacks on the battlefield. >> sandra: plus as many american families continue to grapple with inflation, some married couples are seeing a whole new side to their spouses. not everyone thrilled with what they are learning. the great grocery store debate playing out in homes across the country and how one couple is dealing with the bickering over what they need to buy versus what they want to buy. they join us next.

>> john: ukraine's military forces continue to gain ground as they push ahead with the successful counter offensive in the northeast and south of that country. as russian troops pull back, they have left behind total devastation. jeff paul is live in kyiv this morning. more towns and villages being liberated, what are officials discovering in the aftermath of the russian pullback? >> yeah, you've got days since the russian soldiers left the area and ukrainian soldiers pushed them out and started liberating a vast majority of the kharkiv region, but now only getting a better idea of the devastation that the occupying russian soldiers left behind. you have scores of civilian buildings, homes, leveled by these russian troops, and there are still no power and water for so many in that region, but it's the untold number of innocent people likely killed that ukraine is bracing itself for.

some think that after they good through all the destruction, the number of bodies could be upwards of 1,000 people. president zelenskyy, just toured the region, back in kyiv where he welcomed the european union top official. during the address, he referenced the need for more aid, weapons, and military equipment. >> indeed, safety should be provided with air defense. i'm sure this is not a surprise for you. we all understand that air and missile defense systems are important. however, i am not sure how to solve this very quickly. i know this is a priority. >> meanwhile, vladimir putin met with his chinese counterpart today. putin thanked president xi for the well balanced approach in regards to the war in ukraine. the chinese government put out a statement saying xi promised strong support for russia's core

interest. and one other thing, john, i don't know if many people notice but there in the video with president zelenskyy he apparently just a day before was involved in a pretty serious car accident on the way back from touring that damage. officials say he did not suffer any major injuries, but the other driver in the car was taken to the hospital. john. >> john: fortunate he did not come out of that crash with severe injuries. jeff paul for us, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: it could be a big story with either of the big names involved, but with both the former governor and a former nfl hall of famer accused, it's a stunning scandal. what newly revealed text messages show that have bret favre and a one-time governor diverting millions of dollars intended for welfare recipients. >> john: wow. could a trip to the supermarket land you in divorce court? how rising food prices are

>> sandra: you can't put a price on true love but apparently put one on marital bliss. sticker shock has couples skwaub bling over what should go in the grocery cart. our next guests are great sports for joining us in the first place, scott loves his cold brew coffee. and his wife jenny loves pine nuts. and they join us now. thanks to both of you. you know, the wall street journal did this story and this is a real thing, they spoke to couples all over the country who are, you know, there are some light arguments happening over how they can cut back with rising prices. jenny, where do you think your husband can cut back? >> i honestly do most of the grocery shopping, so it's probably more where i could cut back to be honest. i do love pine nuts, and it's a

silly thing to talk about, but with grocery prices and food prices being so high we have tried to eat in more and cook at home and we both work really hard and if they cook at home i want our meals to be fun and something kind of unique, and all it takes is a little pine nuts to make it feel more fancy, let's go for it. >> sandra: scott, you take issue with that? pine nuts? >> you know, no -- probably depends on the day. meatloaf, with the price of ground beef recently, every time i check the receipt for the billy touch my wallet. but no, it depends on the day and i'm more of a, kind of a meat and potatoes type of guy and so when jenny gets a little extravagant, you know, maybe more exciteable things than your standard grocery fare,

sometimes, you know, maybe i take a little bit of a pause. >> sandra: i think anybody watching can tell you are a great couple, lots of love there, but a real problem a the lo of couples are facing. jenny, you work hard, your husband is a financial planner, you are a nurse practitioner and prices are going up. jenny, how do you feel you are weather the storm? >> i think we are managing it pretty well. with scott being in financial planning, we have always had really open conversations about money throughout our whole relationship and that's made the past couple years through the pandemic and kind of prices a little volatility with prices has made that easier for us to talk about. and so i do feel like we are handling it ok. we are trying to cut back on our groceries to make room for other things in our life that we still want to do. i will say we have a daughter

who has allergies to dairy and eggs, and those items, you know, we might try to buy her a vegan mac and cheese or cheddar cheese to give her something fun to eat. those are not cheap, and so by cutting back on our foods, makes more room for fun things for her, too. so that's something we are really watching, you know, cutting back on travel, cutting back on shopping, little things here and there. nothing that's changed our lives completely, but just enough that we felt it together. >> sandra: you are a great couple. thanks for joining us. you are both working so hard, raising your family, prices are high and big picture, something economists watch. when people buy what they need, not what they want, you have a changing situation, and you are living proof of that. thank you for joining us and we wish you all the best. >> thank you.

>> thank you for having us. >> sandra: of course, and they got together and john, i hear jenny rewards him with one of the coffee cold brews when he does a little yard work, that's a great story. >> john: that's love, no question about that. don't ask me what i fed the twins last night. at 2:00, america's two top adversaries promising stability, although this is what putin brings, a country torn apart by war. senator john cornyn on the red threat rising. dave rubin, and the money panel sounds off on president biden's economic victory lap as inflation hammers home. all of that in the next hour of "america reports."
