together. >> harris, do you think your girls will collect these? >> ner not adults yet, they have to give them to me. but i'm still creating my own mcdonald's sandwich, i buy two fish filets and then stack it. i niece two pieces of fish with all the bun and tartar sauce. >> it is our lowest income communities and communities of color most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making. so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality but also need to fight for equity. >> sandra: that was vice president kamala harris saying

hurricane aid should be based on "equity" but after widespread criticism of those remarks, what is she saying now? >> john: a hint, sandra. not much. juan williams, mercedes and more to break it down coming up. >> sandra: fox weather alert, death and devastation, the death toll at 65 in the united states, families along florida's west coast, many now homeless wonder what is next. sandra smith in new york. hi, john. >> john: good to be with you. i'm john roberts in washington. this is "america reports." some estimates put the damage at nearly $50 billion in florida alone, receding water bringing the extent into view, fort myers beach, lee county unrecognizable from a week ago.

thousands of utility crews, the infrastructure simply no longer exists. president biden will visit the damage wednesday. >> sandra: shocking new images, update on the historic search and rescue efforts from coast guard, rear admiral coming up next. >> john: what do we expect from the president's trip on wednesday? >> the white house still a little short on specifics but do expect him here in fort myers. he'll look at the devastation firsthand for himself, and undoubtedly one-on-one meet with survivors as well. but here in hard-hit lee and charlotte county, simply put, life is starting to get a little bit better. more and more gas stations are opening up today as are grocery stores and restaurants. this is one of the florida national guard 25 distribution sites where desperate and needy

people have been coming for days. every time they get here, they pull up, they get a box of mres, meals ready to eat, 12 of them, 12 meals, they get 1 or 2 cases of water and they can also get something you just can't make when you don't have any electricity at home, bags of ice. so that's certainly making them feel a little bit better. friday and saturday in particular were extremely busy with super long lines of cars and trucks to re-stock dwindling prehurricane supplies. the people in line tell us they are extremely grateful. >> we are getting what we need to survive, but this, these guys are awesome. it helps so much. >> i am so incredibly gracious. i come every single day but yesterday we had no ice here, and i'm so happy to be able to give my 90-year-old parents ice. >> and these men and women tell

me they are extremely happy to help. fox news flew yesterday with the national guard over the worst of the destruction on the devastated barrier islands, fort myers beach, sanibel and pine island, 90% of fort myers beach is leveled. they no longer have bridge access, the city manager in sanibel estimates the number of residents remaining under 100. more than 1500 people have been rescued so far, some by helicopter, and boat, others like this elderly couple rescued on sunday by vehicle. that was day four for them, needing to be rescued. task force teams say they certainly expect to continue making more. today's line is smaller than it has been in other days. however, that is a promising sign that perhaps the need is

lessening from those who lost power. 95% of the two hard hit counties lost power during the storm. today 55% have no power still, a big improvement. 40,000 utility crews and bucket trucks are basically working around the clock down here, and also the florida power and light, the largest utility in the state, just now saying they expect all of their customers will have electricity back on friday. the state is expecting it statewide definitely by sunday. of course, those hard hit destroyed communities like the beaches on the barrier islands, they had the entire infrastructure just decimated, and so people there, the few that remained, likely won't get power back for a long time, and assume the vast majority don't feel like going back to the rubble. >> john: in the meantime, a bag

of ice the simplest of luxuries. >> sandra: coast guard rear admiral brendan mcpherson, in tallahassee, thank you very much for joining us. first off the top, can you give us an update on the search-and-rescue operations still underway? >> yeah, i can, sandra, good afternoon. so for the most part, coast guard search-and-rescue operations from the air have largely ended, which is good news, but the urban search and rescue teams and state and locals continue to do a ground search of that area to make sure that anybody who needs assistance or rescuing gets that. over the past five days, i'm going to say over the past five days, we were able to successfully rescue about 650 people from our air asset and shallow water assets. >> sandra: for what you are doing there. what about federal assistance, are you getting what you need? >> we are, we are part of the federal family, right. so unified command here in the florida eoc, in support of the

state of florida. i've been working day and night with my partners from the u.s. army corps of engineers, national guard, department of defense, and federal emergency management agency, to save people's lives and help them on the bath to recovery. >> you have to assume those people are so grateful and so many still looking in some cases for lost loved ones. we are hearing from some of the victims of this horrific hurricane, here is just some of what we are hearing. >> the water was moving so fast that it was taking things with it, it was like an explosion, this just looks like somebody set off a bomb around here. everywhere. >> a couple friends on the beach that did not make it. business can be rebuilt, replaced, you know, we can pivot, do something else, but you know, it's employees we are so worried about, it's, you know, our friends. >> so many concerns going forward right now. estimates that damages in that state could amount to about

$47 billion. i'm sure the number will probably climb as we continue to get a look at the devastation in that state. but what do you estimate as far as recovery efforts? how long is this going to take? >> yeah, that's really hard to tell. what i will tell you is that the coast guard, we are -- this is not only a mission for us, it impacts us. we have ten coast guard members who lost their home or significant damage we had a coast guard station in fort myers that was leveled, and we will look at it with the federal department of law enforcement. it's a unified effort. it's going to take some time, we know that. but we are working with the army corps of engineers to reopen the port of fort myers, and that's critically important to the recovery of the region as we rely on the water bridge as the bridges in the area get

repaired. >> we have a map, according to our latest numbers here, showing about 600,000 still in that state without power. can you give us an update to that on what you are hearing? >> yeah, i'm hearing about the same thing. obviously power restoration, not a coast guard mission, but i met with the senior general from the army corps of engineers this morning. they are looking at what they need to do to support the infrastructure there, and meeting with the state, they are laser focused on getting power and water restored to all of the areas as quickly as they can. >> you have a lot of work to get back to, thank you for joining us with an update. appreciate it. the best to you and your efforts. >> thank you. >> sandra: thanks to him and his teams, and fox corporation has donated $1 million to the american red cross to support the hurricane ian relief efforts there. the red cross is providing aid and resources, including

shelter, meals, medical supplies and more for the people who have been directly impacted by the storm. fox is also double matching employee donation to red cross hurricane relief efforts, including ian and fiona. our thoughts are with them in the area, and fox news channel and teams across the country who are covering this disaster, incredible to see the new images still coming out today of just how devastated parts of that state are, john. >> john: everybody has been doing such a terrific job responding to this, it is amazing, from the coast guard, to the red cross, samaritan's purse, our colleagues here at fox news, everybody is banding together for so many people. as you point out, when you see the layers upon layers of devastation down there in southwest florida and on through

the state it is remarkable, and this is a disaster that's not going to be measured in weeks or months, but years or even decades. >> sandra: hard to even estimate at this point. >> john: sandra, take a look at this. >> out here a short time ago, he said yes, releases of the migrants are underway, thousands are released into the community, despite the biden administration claims if they come they will be deported. texas dps telling us the troopers were chasing a human smuggler in a cloned work truck. the same area where 13 migrants died in a mass drowning. >> john: bill has been doing it since the start, a stunning new statistic. in the last year, more than two and a half million migrants have

entered the united states illegally. of those, well more than a million migrants are still here. in addition, cbp reports over 3.5 million migrant encounters, 259 known territories and 1300 deaths since january of 2020. bill joins me now in d.c. after taking the crisis directly to capitol hill. you found a lot of people like to talk when it's on their terms, but when it's on yours, they don't really like to answer your questions. >> certainly don't, at least knoll when it's about the border. the idea, we have been covering the border well over a year and a half, a lot of chaos, unfortunately a lot of death and how out of control it is down there, and nothing has changed, there really has not been policy changes, so we decided if d.c. is not going to come to the border we will bring it to washington, d.c. and put some questions to politicians face-to-face and see when they have to say for it. how some of that went. >> 250,000 unaccompanied migrant

children arrived at the border since president biden took ofs o, some trafficked, some drowning in the river. any thought about that? you agree the administration that the border is secure? in your opinion, is the border secure? >> i have to go give a speech. didn't you hear me? >> i heard you, is the border secure? >> i'm bill with fox news. do you have a moment to talk about the border? >> i don't. >> a few moments, we'll let you go. asked to talk to you last week, they blew us off. 900,000 got-aways. no comment, sir? >> you saw with secretary mayorkas, we wanted to talk to him, he has repeatedly the border is secure. take a look at the video right now, the team shot this in arizona a few weeks ago, some of the hundreds of thousands who have slipped past. i shot this video in eagle pass a couple months ago, one of the biggest groups we have seen

cross the river. but as mayorkas and they say it's secure, we are over 900 known got-aways since 2021, 1300 migrants die at the border, del rio last summer, things are only worse, and john, one of the numbers i find most staggering, since president biden took office, over 250,000 unaccompanied migrant children have shown up at the southern border, enough to fill up three rose bowls. another person we questioned is nancy pelosi, what she had to say. >> do you believe the border is secure? >> well, i believe that we have to have a secure border and i think that we are trying to address -- the president has a plan to address that. >> bottom line, what is that

plan? we are almost two years into the crisis and yet to see significant policy changes the administration has focused on, northern triangle countries, in large part are not the ones crossing, it's venezuelans, cubans, nicaraguans. >> everyone is pointing their fingers at each other, but it rests with the white house, the administration. and 2 million people coming across, and probably 2.5 million by the time they count up what happened in september, does not seem to be much of a plan there. >> no, it doesn't. and this fiscal year alone, a cbp source told us 599,000 got-aways, passed border patrol. >> this year. >> 600,000 just this year alone, that's 50,000 a month, more than 1500 every single day getting past border patrol.

>> john: we don't know who they are, don't know where they are, we saw all the people on the terror watch list. >> yep>> john: if they were cau maybe they would be, too, we don't know, bottom line, don't know. terrific work you've been doing along the border. i know you are headed back there soon. >> sandra: a big day in court for georgia democrats. an obama appointed judge tossing a lawsuit filed by stacey abrams. one of the left's rising stars. how the judge's ruling against her could shake things up for the midterm elections. >> john: underway after hurricane ian. the vice president facing criticism after calling for equity in the way relief funds are doled out. is it another example of democrats focusing on the wrong things? our panel weighs in on all of that just ahead. >> now is not the time to be talking about who gets what based on where you started, it's about helping people, making

sure they get the resources they need. ient roman coinage? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company.

>> it is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions. we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality but we also need to fight for equity. >> john: vice president kamala harris remarks on friday facing fallout over them, suggesting the biden administration will discriminate against communities when dispersing federal disaster aid to those impacted by hurricane ian. harris also turning down an opportunity to clarify her remarks.

>> vice president, can you clarify what you meant about equity for hurricane relief? >> john: our panel joins us now, mercedes, juan williams, fox news political analyst, got to let the boy go first. the boys go first here, let me clarify that. giving resources based on equity. this is something that we have never heard from before in connection with giving out disaster relief aid. >> right, and governor desantis and his aides in florida anybody and everybody, regardless of income, regardless of race, gender, everybody is eligible, it's not an issue on the ground when we are dealing with the crisis in florida. i think this is a manufactured, one of those manufactured outrage moments in american life. she was asked, the vice president a five-minute question

dealing with the fact climate change has a disproportionate impact on poor communities and even third world nations, and then she went into this five-minute explanation how as we, the united states, deal with the climate change crisis, we are going to try to acknowledge the fact that some communities, especially those who are poor, coastal communities, for example, disproportionately impacted by the climate change. but i think what happened over the weekend is people who wanted to make something out of this all of a sudden say well, she spoke about equity without explaining she's saying yes, we want to make sure everybody gets help, but some communities are more heavily impacted by the crises. >> john: obviously there are some communities heavily impacted by this, but everybody is heavily impacted by what happened in south florida. desantis press secretary, now his rapid response director said, the vice president's rhetoric is causing undue panic

and must be clarified. fema individual assistance is available to all floridians impacted by floridians, and say no, no, the aides, everybody. >> big -- >> john: threw a hand grenade into the whole thing. >> misstatement by the vice president, a gaffe syndrome. you clarified it better than she ever could and she did have an opportunity to clarify it, she didn't do that, she did not respond to the reporter and the problem is for democrats they go straight into identity politics, especially when it comes to all the variety of issues and dealing with the natural disaster, which you know is impacting all walks of life, people of all color and race, ethnicity, you know, you want to put the identity politics aside and i think it came out wrong, i think for kamala it is an -- she

should clarify because at the end of the day i think governor desantis and the team on the ground and fema, they are doing their best to address obviously the fatalities that are happening, the search-and-rescue operation that they are dealing with, but kamala, time and time again makes these mistakes and it is a clean-up act for the white house. >> john: move on, stacey abrams who got it handed to her in court by judge steve jones, an obama appointee, after the 2018 she went to court and said this is unfair, there is all sorts of racially motivated voter suppression, other georgia laws referred to as jim crow in the 21st century by biden, the judge took a look at this and said on all counts, you have no case here. that's a big loss for her. >> i think it was a loss for her. no getting around that. let me say that the state of georgia, including governor

kemp, had made changes since her case went to court, and they have, the court then said listen, some changes have been made so we are going to narrow the terms of your suit. in terms of the loss, no getting away from it, she had hoped that under the voting rights act violations, she would have some affirmation of the idea that kemp, when he was secretary of state, had acted in such a way as to suppress the vote, if not deny people the right to vote by moving voting booths. she didn't get it. >> john: but she has continued the fight, major league baseball was going to have an all-star game in atlanta, she made enough noise that mlb pulled out, coke, mx, delta airlines have spoken out about georgia's voting rights law. what does the court decision say that about campaign she launched? >> the most part, woke corporations and major league

baseball, they hung tight to that emotion, right. the idea that the democrats were right on this issue, that there was issues with voter fraud. but now the truth came out. no direct evidence as the judge has mentioned and i think for stacey abrams, the original election denier, is getting the pushback from the judge by saying there's no case here and we should have a bipartisan approach with voting rights and making sure it's the voters that, the legal votes that count and not have to deal with any sort of election fraud. >> sandra: mercedes, juan, always great to see you. >> sandra: good discussion there. developing now, the first monday in october means it is the start of the supreme court new term. also marks the start of the high court's newest member, justice brown jackson. the term kicks off with the high profile case that pits property rights against environmental regulations. david spunt is live outside the supreme court.

david, this is the first of many high profile cases the court will hear this term. >> that's exactly right, and the first of several just this week, justice brown jackson, sandra and john, wasted no time getting into it, asking several pointed questions within minutes of the supreme court term officially kicking off behind me as you mentioned, the first monday in october, justice jackson, who officially joined the court a few months ago, joined opening arguments for the first time today, asked those questions just moments into when this happened. this comes as a tumultuous time surrounds the supreme court, figuratively and literally, a few months ago, high fences surrounded this court, people were protesting, this was after the court overturned roe v. wade, it sparked intense protests, even the attempted murder of justice brett kavanaugh. justice jackson was not involved in that decision overturning roe but those effects will last for

years when she will remain on the bench. she got to know her colleagues during a formal ceremony, welcoming her as the newest supreme court justice. president biden and the vice president also attended. jackson is now the fourth female justice on the bench. the first who is a black woman joining the highest court in the nation. she joins, of course, amy coney barrett, and two others, and a picture to celebrate women on the court but jackson will get to work immediately, several high profile appeals that may come before her, the issue of gun rights, vaccine mandates in schools and businesses, also content restrictions pertaining to social media. the court is in session two days this week, two arguments of note, this property rights case originating in idaho, looking at environmental regulation and tomorrow the justices will hear arguments over alabama's congressional voting boundaries. and also important to note, the

first type the building has been opened for arguments in person since march 2020, right as that pandemic was hitting across the country and across the world, justice jackson and her colleagues will be back her tomorrow for more arguments at 10:00 a.m. sandra. >> sandra: hard to believe it's been that long. david, thank you. john. >> john: another sign things are getting back to normal. from refugees to radicals, growing concerns that a camp in syria for displaced people, or people displaced by war could pose a terror threat for the united states. why some military officials fear it is becoming a breeding ground for a new generation of isis. >> sandra: we'll dig into that. and pressure is mounting on vladimir putin as the tide turns against his invasion of ukraine. a key ally of his now calling for russia to use a nuclear weapon. how should the u.s. respond? we'll ask tennessee senator marsha blackburn.

ukrainian troops throw russian flags to the ground. after difficult and bloody battles, they r recaptured the strategic town of lyman. it was officially returned to the ukrainian flag, the soldier says. more than seven months into the war, ukrainian forces keep liberating territory in the eastern part of their country. areas that vladimir putin says are now part of russia. in the donetsk region, the civilians are ukrainian, despite the propaganda and lies from moscow. at a bakery near the front lines, they make bread, half to feed soldiers nearby. it's a feat to work at a time like this when the bombing is going on, but we are not afraid. we bake bread because the people, our military, defenders need m it. main across the east are in desperate need of aid. some have survived living under russian control but now a cold and uncertain winter for their loved ones, like victoria who

lives in a liberated town. the older child was frightened, the younger one did not understand what happened. when they started bombing us with aircraft, my daughter was only two weeks old. the russian battle field losses are especially concerning when you look at what putin's closest allies are telling him to do. the chechnyan leader telling him to use low yield nuclear weapons on the battlefield. >> john: hope he does not take the advice. thanks. >> sandra: tennessee republican senator marsha blackburn. how seriously do you take the nuclear threats? >> sandra, we need to believe our adversaries when they say something like this. and we know that putin feels like he's being pushed into a corner, and because of that we need to realize that he may do

something that is erratic. but what we also have to realize is that there are probably four different ways, i would say, to deal with someone like vladimir putin, of course you've got sanctions, you have the international courts, you have international groups, and one that he really watches is the court of public opinion. and he sees how countries like turkey, like south korea, of course the u.s., and other members of the e.u. are standing against him and what he is doing. he has watched xi jinping question what he is doing with ukraine, and it is going to be vitally important that international community speak up and say no you can't, and no you don't, and no you won't, especially when it comes to annexing part of ukraine, which

is against international law. >> sandra: i want to play out the general, basically laid out where he sees things. the state of the war today, listen. >> he is losing, and the battlefield reality he faces is i think irreversible. in other words, over the last seven months, president zelenskyy and ukraine have mobilized vastly better than has russia. >> sandra: do you agree with that, is the momentum on the side of ukraine at this moment, senator? >> i would say the momentum is with ukraine, and it is why it is important for ukraine to be able to purchase when they need in order to defend themselves. it is why it is important for nato to step up and help ukraine. i think the other thing to look at, sandra, is that public sentiment globally is with

ukraine, and people know that russia is trying to push their way into global dominance and acceptance. it's going to be interesting to see what happens with russia and these actions and the humanitarian violations that they have carried out when the u.n. begins to look more closely at this. russia should be removed from the u.n. security council. russia should be held to account for going to vogner and saying we want to employ mercenaries and bringing them into areas, the way they attacked, beheaded, destroyed so many of the ukrainian people. war crimes, yes indeed. and that is something the senate started looking at last week. we had a hearing at judiciary committee, we will continue to take that up. >> sandra: so many watching this want to know, especially after his most recent move to illegally annex parts of

ukraine, how vladimir putin himself will be held accountable. a lot of pressure on congress, obviously, also to act. senator, thank you very much for joining us today. good to see you. >> good to join you, thank you. >> john: sandra, turns out one city's spike in random violence might not be so random at all. what investigators noticed about some recent murders that has them picking up on a pattern and warning people in that city to watch their backs. >> sandra: john, hurricane ian left billions and billions of dollar in damage after it roared through florida. now business owners there are left to pick up the pieces and try to move forward. we'll speak to one of them next. >> floors are ruined, the walls are down, ceilings have dropped down, the water level was above the roof. the whole thing -- this is everything we could salvage, this is our lives. n's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks... choose stelara® from the start...

>> john: florida's fire marshal is calling hurricane ian the worst natural disaster in the state's history. now homeowners and businesses in florida are left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. some like our next guest are still dealing with flooding five days later. let's bring in rob holingsworth, he owns a business 40 miles east of sarasota. the hurricane went over you and your business which has been in business since 1956. in the 66 years the company has been around, have you ever seen not guilty like this? >> no, this was worse than hurricane charley, which was in 2004, and just a much bigger storm. and from a flooding perspective, i'm not sure that anything on record has gotten close to what we are seeing. >> you know, we are -- we are looking at some of the pictures you provided to us, a storage

facility with the roof collapsed there, from the outside, and the inside, seeing greenhouses where you are growing a lot of your plants and things you ship to texas and here up to washington, d.c. how much damage did you suffer in terms of the overall facility? >> we are still assessing. i would say somewhere, it's a broad range, but somewhere between 5 and $10 million in the t two facilities here in desoto county. >> john: the power of the starm to do so much damage, and you were a long way inland, the storm did go over you, what does it say about the power of mother nature? >> mother nature prevails. we have hurricane plans that we prepare as much as we can. i think in this storm, similar to hurricane charley, there were a lot of tornadoes close to the

eye, so i think that's probably where we suffered the most damage was from the tornadoes, but it was a strong, strong hurricane as well. >> john: in the hours after the storm hit, we talked to a fella who ran a tree growing business there, palm trees and other hardwood trees, he told me that he was self-insured so he had to eat up the loss. what's your situation? do you have insurance or are you self-insured? >> we are a bit unique in the lawn and garden space. we have gardening products, better gro, dynamic foods, nonperishable gardening products. that piece is insured. the greenhouse operation, which we grow tropical plants, specializing in orchids, that is uninsureable. we have a catastrophic program
