remember, she is pregnant and she has no criminal record. those could be factors in the judge's decision here today. we'll let you know what happens. this hearing begins in about two hours. >> sandra: we'll be watching for that. we'll have the news this afternoon. >> bill: 1 to 3 eastern see you then. >> sandra: you'll join us on monday. look forward to that. >> bill: i said can't wait. >> sandra: i can't wait. >> bill: here is gillian in for harris. we'll see you next week. >> thank you. the new republican leadership in congress says they're bringing with them new investigations into the president and his family's foreign business dealings. house republicans in their opening bid are accusing the president of being involved in his son's business overseas. they are pledging to make these investigations a top priority in the new congress hoping to expose influence peddling by the sitting president.

democrats insist it is all a political charade and retribution for investigations into president trump. jim jordan is one of the republicans leading the charge. >> they haven't replied to any of the requests. they've now they set up a special office that democrats have to come after mr. comer, mccarthy and myself and attack the people doing the investigation. what we are going to do is everything we can within the constitution, do our duty to get the facts and truth to the american people. >> tony bobulinski, who claims to be a whistleblower has gone on record multiple times accusing both bidens of corruption. he says this about republicans' new probes. >> it is crazy we're still talking about this two years after i went public.

1,000% joe biden is the big guy. in the last variety of months multiple whistleblowers have come forward with a trove of facts that corroborate everything i've said as well as adding information to it. and i think the american people will see those facts. i think they will be shocked by those facts and hopefully justice is served. >> joining "focus" now republican congressman andy biggs of arizona a member of the house judiciary committee. first we begin with griff jenkins in washington. >> good morning. incoming oversight committee chairman james comer says he is making this a priority because the american people care about whether or not their leaders are compromised and he believes they have evidence pointing directly to the president. >> what we proved today was joe biden lied to the american people when he said he had no knowledge of hunter biden's shady business dealings. that is a complete -- complete lie and denied having any

financial benefit. >> they detailed they uncovered evidence of alleged crimes by the president's family that were violations of the farah & wire throughout that he said is a threat to national security. >> to be clear, joe biden is the big guy. this evidence raises troubling questions about whether president biden is a national security risk. >> the committee also sent letters to f.b.i. director chris wray and treasury secretary janet yellen and several business associates of hunter biden requesting information on business transactions. wray got grilled on capitol hill yesterday over the intelligence community's down playing hunter biden's laptop in the run-up to the 2020 elections as intel officials labeled it russian disinformation. >> let's face it, this letter by 51 intelligence officials interfered in the 2020 election to a far greater extent than

anything russia or china could have ever hoped to accomplish. >> what will get subpoenas? no plans for president biden yet but we're likely to see hunter called up to the hill. >> thanks for going into the details for us. a former advisor to president obama has this take on the upcoming house investigations. >> they'll try to weaken biden with these investigations. what will end up happening is they will strengthen him because they are going to overreach. they will be talking about things that people don't care about. i would be shocked if something real is uncovered here particularly on president biden and his family. >> joining me now is andy biggs of arizona. thank you so much for taking time for us today, sir. your colleagues have laid out this long list of investigations that includes everything from origins of covid pandemic to the botched withdrawal from afghanistan. talk to me about where

investigations into the president's son and biden family's foreign business dealings rank among that list? we have not gotten a clearance on that. >> well, so for the oversight committee it's the first investigation we're going forward with. the reason is because there are implications that have come forward everything from tony bobulinski's testimony which you played a little bit of earlier to the suspicious activities reports where there is more than 150 of those from hunter biden to a laptop that was suppressed and what was in there was not investigated for over a year by the d.o.j. on one hand you have that going. in the judiciary committee you'll look at the d.o.j. and f.b.i. and politization and abuse of power against the american people. so those two kind of will go hand in hand for those two committees. >> republican leadership, incoming house republican

leadership says their top tier priority is getting a handle on inflation, working on the economy and helping to steer the american people forward. how does that investigation in particular forward your party's aim? >> well, we have multiple committees and the committees that will deal with the inflation are those that deal with federal spending. if we were to diversify and put the appropriations subcommittees of the authorizing committees you would see that come to those two committees. you won't. they will go through the 12 bill process we call regular order to get the federal spending down. and that should be done by june 1st so that we can actually do something. that will be the first time since i've been in congress, if we do that. i think we will. that will come from the appropriations and budget committees and not oversight and judiciary committees. >> your critics say the investigation into hunter biden

in particular is backward looking rather than forward-looking. what do you say to that? >> well, you can never do an investigation looking forward because you are looking at events that have happened in the past that in fact have bearing on the future. so we start talking about hunter biden, we need to talk about what did the d.o.j. and f.b.i. do. did they suppressed? the answer is yes. was president biden compromised, has he been compromised. it looked like potentially yes. you have 150 suspicious activities report. they changed the rules from keeping congress getting those. of course an investigation will be backward looking. that's the only way you can look at an investigation. you do an investigation backward looking to correct the future activity so you don't have the kind of thing in the future. >> i want to make sure i ask you

about this. top tier democratic leadership is making way for new blood. hakeem jeffries is announcing that he plans to lead the party. speaker pelosi and steny hoyer the handing the reins to a younger generation of lawmakers. they say pelosi's tenures offers lessons. no denying mrs. pelosi has been an effective leader. the most powerful speaker in decades. were republicans paying attention? last election the republicans have a small majority. the narrow margin calls for a strong speaker and republican unity. when it comes to you, sir, you've made clear you are challenging kevin mccarthy for the speakership. listen to him this week. >> do you think you will have the votes by january to become speaker? >> look, we have work cut out for us.

we have a small majority and need to listen to everybody in the conference. >> do you want democrats to support? >> we'll get there as republicans. >> you say you won't be part of that small majority. a quote from your op-ed. i can't vote for kevin mccarthy as house speaker. talk to us about that. >> look, one of the things that we would do if we were going to truly unify is move power away from the center. one of the things the "wall street journal" fails to understand is that nancy pelosi actually consolidated and centralized power to herself so most decisions in congress on four people, the republican democrat leaders in both the house and senate. the rest of us were expected to go along. i agree with kevin mccarthy all republicans voting for all republicans. it is what will happen here. i don't know if kevin will get the 218. we disagree. there are reasons that the american public say we need a change in leadership. they do say that.

there isn't any place i go, whether my district in the state or around the countries hundreds of times every year people don't make that the number one issues. will you give us new leadership? we watch what happened when we don't actively fight and use every tool we have to slow down the biden administration. that's what people want and that's what new leadership would be expected to do. >> unity inside the republican party is in congress. your own colleague says it will take even more than that to deliver for voters. listen. >> there are republicans and there are democrats willing to work together. i've done that over the last two years and i want to increase and improve that kind of work and reach across the aisle. there won't be a lot we agree on. where we do if we want to get anything to the president's desk signed into law in the next two years it will require us to work together and negotiate and maybe make some concessions.

>> are you interested in any of that working across the aisle and making concessions? >> look, first of all, we do work across the aisle whenever we can find commonality. if i call up the leader of the tuesday group a moderate liberal leaning group we can talk and we can reach those accords and we've done it. i have actually sponsored with hakeem jeffries the jack act that became law. yes, it happens. but at the same time you have to remember that we were given republican majority because the biden administration has failed on their policies so abyss mallly and we have to take on those policies and where you will have republican unity. this notion that you can't have somebody contest speakership is some kind of evidence of

disunity is my opinion bogus. we should have a robust, vigorous, in-house family debate in the direction we should go and how to use the tools. more tools than conceding to the democrats. how about using every procedural tool we have and every must-pass piece of legislation as leverage. the constitutional discipline. we have all these tools to use. >> we're running out of time. i want to thank you for joining us. interesting talking to you as it always is. thanks for taking time. >> you bet. thanks. >> team biden is hoping to keep the student loan bail-out plan alive planning to take the case all the way to the supreme court. this in the wake of judges claiming presidential overreach. plus homeland security secretary mayorkas contradicted the white house on border security.

>> we can go deeper into what's going on in the southern border. why did you change the policies on purpose. >> he opened up the border on purpose. >> without a doubt. he can't be that dumb. >> new video from the southern border to show you this morning. a shocking ice operation and the tragic loss of a border agent. we have marc thiessen joining us next. if you have diabetes, then getting on the dexcom g6 is the single most important thing you can do. and it's covered by medicare. before dexcom g6, i was frustrated. all of that finger-pricking, my a1c was still stuck.

>> i've heard you and the judiciary committee recently in the summer testify that the border is secure. secretary mayorkas, do you continue maintain that the border is secure? >> yes and we are working day in and day out to enhance its

security. >> that's homeland security secretary mayorkas contradicting the white house and his own previous testimony. he said this yesterday about border security. >> the entire hemisphere is suffering a migration crisis. we are are seeing an unprecedented movement of people from country to country. it is not restricted to the southern border. we are seeing an unprecedented movement of people throughout the western hemisphere. >> new op-ed with this headline. team biden must stop gas lighting a secure border. the crisis is about to get drastically worse. yesterday a border agent was fatally shot during an exchange with drug smugglers just off the coast of puerto rico. two other agents were also injured. also dramatic new video shows hundreds of illegal migrants streaming across the border into eagle pass texas. ice agents arrested 130

undocumented migrant sex offenders in the span of just two weeks. marc thiessen, "washington post" column shift joins me now. let's start off with the homeland security's comments yesterday. he said the entire hemisphere is suffering a migration crisis, yet somehow the white house believes that the united states is managing to exempt itself from this crisis because there is no crisis at the southern border. >> this is the inflation spin applied to the southern border. biden administration claims they aren't responsible for inflation. we have global inflation. inflation is worse in other places. of course, no one believes that and everyone knows it was the 1.9 trillion spending bill that unleashed the inflation. they're doing it now on the border. they think the american people are stupid. here is the problem they face. they haven't learned -- they are failing to learn the lessons of

the 2022 election. if you look at the fox news voter analysis, the american people disapproved of joe biden on every single issue that was tested including his border control policies. they think that because they won by running this anti-maga strategy somehow it was an endorsement of their policies. they won in spite of their policies not because of them. they are not having a reckoning with the failures that they've unleashed on the country. they won two elections by campaigning against donald trump. if they don't have donald trump to kick you around anymore they'll pay a price at the polls including the southern border disaster. >> we've been airing infrared footage of border crossings. do you ever worry the american people, like war footage in a sense. we see this constantly, terror and trauma and death and suffering along the southern

border. do you ever worry that people will grow immune to it at some point? >> you do but on the other hand if you think about it, wars generally happen far away. americans are living with the consequences of this every day. they lost control of the house because of their border policy. ask yourself why did the republicans manage to flip four seats on long island? because of the crime that has been unleashed in large part because of the fentanyl pouring across the southern border. they lost two seats that they had long held in southern texas. that was as a result of these border policies. americans feel these policies unlike the war policies of the past. and as soon as they can't kick donald trump around they are going to pay a price for it. >> let's talk about this. the biden administration is fighting for its stalled student

loan forgiveness program and asking the supreme court to save the program. two federal courts put a hold on the program ruling the president does not have constitutional authority to bypass congress in order to enact this measure. new op-ed in the "washington post" says extending the student loan moratorium is a terrible idea. allowing 35 million americans to delay paying their federal student loans with a questionable policy when it began in march 2020 during the depth of the pandemic crisis. it is a terrible idea now. moratorium began as a way to deliver some relief and extra funds to people as much of the economy shut down because of the coronavirus. today it's a different story. president biden called the economy strong as hell last month. unemployment at one of the lowest levels in decades. there is no crisis to justify extending this costly policy. what do you say? >> so just for the record that's not me conservative columnist at the "washington post." that's the editorial board that

endorsed joe biden. so even they are saying this is wrong. joe biden has no constitutional authority to do this. he will lose this case in the courts because the president of the united states, congress has the power of the purse, the president of the united states doesn't have the power to spend up to $1 trillion. where does he find it? using something called the hero's act, a 2003 law passed over 9/11 to make sure men and women of the military called up to fight the war on terror didn't default on loans. it gives the president authority in a national emergency. he said the pandemic emergency give himself the authority for people who never served. he is arguing title 42 should be lifted in the courts because the pandemic energy is over but then he is saying this should be allowed because the pandemic emergency is not over. which is it? is it over only for illegal immigrants or is it not? he doesn't have this authority and making weak arguments and it

is not going the fly. >> what about the moratorium reverting the plan b seeking to extend the moratorium on payments until it works its way through the courts. does that hold up legally? >> i don't know. we'll see what challenges come to it. keep in mind when i mentioned that fox news voter analysis which showed he was under water on every issue. he was under water on student loans as well. the majority of americans don't support it and part of the reason why working class americans are abandoning the democratic party in droves at the polls because people who never went to college don't want to pay the student loans of college graduates and even doctors and lawyers and -- most of the student debt is graduate degrees. so why should a working class person who goes to the doctor pay that doctor's medical school loan or needs a lawyer and goes to pay his lawyer's law school loan? so this is a big dividing issue within the democratic coalition.

>> we have to leave it there. thank you for talking to us today. >> thanks, gillian. >> community in idaho now is on edge. there are no suspects in custody after the gruesome murders of four college students. what police and the f.b.i. are now saying about the ongoing investigation. plus this. tucker carlson says the list of democrats with ties to ftx founder sam bankman-fried is getting longer. >> the very people who should have been covering and regulating and reining in ftx and 30-year-old founder were instead profiting from this scam. >> the disgraced ceo was hanging out with politicos in the bahamas. we'll dig into details of that next. and maybe a lot more than you think. if you need cash to stay ahead, call newday.

>> lawmakers' ties to ftx ceo.

he spent time to bill clinton not bahamas just in april. event hosted by ftx. clintons comments were off the record at the time but leaked audio has him calling for do no harm regulations. bankman-fried donated $40 million to democratic lawmakers and their causes including the maximum donation to congressman ha hakeem jeffries, the odds on favorite to lead the party that thank you pelosi has stepped aside. >> the story of the ftx implosion is bigger than the global recession it may cause. the complete and utter corruption of the people who run our country. the very people who should have been covering and regulating and reining in ftx and its 30-year-old founder were instead

profiting from this scam. >> kelly o'grady is covering the story. >> the headline here is that people with ties to sam bankman-fried keeps growing. the donation to representative jeffries, the only house candidate to receive the max amount allowed from the former ftx ceo. a small fraction of the 40 million but the status as the party's second biggest donor is prompting questions whether the fundraising ties that may have enabled ftx to crash down. they will be investigating it and dems are requesting an explanation how ftx lick i had tee crisis happened. warren and durbin wrote a letter to the new ceo. it raises questions about the behavior of the former ftx ceo and the lack of due diligence by

venture capital and other investment funds either to get rich off crypto across the crypto market. more ties unfolding. you mentioned his f-- they have heard no response from the clinton team of the nature of their relationship and celebrities are dragged into the fray. a class action lawsuit going after some really big names there. tom brady, shaquille o'neal for not disclosing the nature of the partnership with ftx and how much they were being paid. now food for thought. there is precedent that celebrities have had to pay up. kim kardashian paid 1.26 million to the sec for a similar crypto partnership. the investor lawsuit has been thrown out. gillian, the moral of the story

a lot of people tied up in this and the list keeps growing. >> thanks for breaking it down fours, a new op-ed is calling out the media for using the kid gloves approach to the ftx approach. one would think the media would take a sledgehammer to him. it targets the "washington post" and "new york times" saying they failed to cover the story adequately and fairly. a couple of the headlines. ftx collapse dooms founder's effort to prevent another pandemic and how his empire collapsed. anchor of the evening edit on fox business. so much to unpack here. let's start with this, liz. is this a case of, as kelly reported, a soft regulatory environment enabling this behavior or is this a case of

congressional lawmakers completely, completely renegeing on their responsibility to american taxpayers? >> it's both. i broke stories about it. digging through the bankruptcy government documents is clear what you point out it's both. this fraud could surpass enron in terms of the liabilities. enron was 38 billion in liabilities. they're talking 50 billion for this. here is what happened. we find in the current documents that this guy took $4 billion in loans out of his company and gave them to his current cronies including $1 billion in loans to himself. he squandered the money on luxury homes in the bahamas. no accounting unit or no auditing and board meetings. at least bernie madoff had an accounting department. why was he getting a seat at the

table. ? spending a lot of money on democrats. he got a seat at the table with the biden white house. he packed his board with former cftc officials. commissioner, former lawmaker ran agriculture committee under obama and then he was saying to the cftc i only want you to be the regulator, not the sec, i want you to clear my trades through you alone with no intermediaries. he got what he wanted. with no intermediaries, no guardrails, no, you know, back stops. that's what he was pushing for down in d.c. he was pressuring for weaker government oversight. the point is in covering the corporate accounting sales i would say to the sec why don't you go after the accounting guys for letting these frauds happen? they said what happens is the political donations go to congress. they sit on oversight committees, right? they are supposed to be doing

oversight. what happens is they also oversee the budget and paychecks for the cftc and sec. when companies come in and complain they are more susceptible to doing what those companies want. the danger here is that we could see flash crashes in the market. we could see sudden drops in hedge funds being taken out. already contagion happening now with the collapse of ftx and it is a story, to your point, a nexus of corruption, power and money sloshing between this 30-year-old who treated investor money like a video game, and democrats and people in power in congress and at the regulators, gillian. >> you break it down like no one else. thank you for doing that. you can catch her on fox business anchoring her show evening edit every week night at 6:00 eastern. as the dust settles from the mid-term. one democrat is pointing the finger at his own party saying

>> police now say two surviving roommates could be the key to solving the killings of four university of idaho students found stabbed to death in their apartment last weekend. the two survivors have not been ruled in or out as suspects. they're cooperating with investigators. dan springer has the latest on this. what are you learning? >> believe it or not five full days after the horrific homicides, police are back inside that house.

we just saw an evidence team go in this morning coming through what's a very large and bloody crime scene. as for the two roommates in the house at the time of the murders, we know police have been interviewing them, have talked to them several times hoping to jog their memories to get something, anything that can help in this investigation. so far police are not saying what the women are telling investigators. there are now reports following up on the autopsies that each of the four victims was stabbed more than once with a long blade. the coroner said the same knife was like lay used on all the victims. police haven't found a weapon, identified a suspect or even a description of a possible suspect. they're working to track down all potential witnesses with the victims the nights of the murders and all the people captured on video with two of the women victims just a couple of hours before the slayings. they are running into problems.

so many students have left campus out of fear for their safety. >> the hard part of the investigation is many of the people we want to talk to have gone home because they're students. the timeline of this investigation has expanded because we have to travel and so having those interviews in people's hometowns takes more time. >> the victims are being mourned throughout idaho. over the last two nights there have been vigils. >> i hope that they figure it out because it's ludicrous that they have absolutely nothing, nothing. >> we also now know that the f.b.i. has one of their elite behavioral analysis units there. they go on crime scenes to

investigate among other things crimes that are unsolved for a long time and when there may be a serial killer on the loose. they are involved with dozens of other cops who are trying to get to the bottom of this and find out who killed these four students. >> dan springer in idaho for this afternoon. president biden used detailed notes to instruct him where to sit, when to speak, how to pose for photos. those cheat sheets are pretty standard at events like the g20. biden's also generate a lot of attention. voters aren't confidence should he run again in 2024 he will fulfill a term. 58% of voters don't think he can serve effectively moving forward. a clinton strategist says even democrats have big time doubts. >> he would be 86 at the end of

the so-called second term. i don't know if he will make it to the end of this term in terms of he is already shaking hands with people that aren't there, calling out congresswomen who are dead, confusing cambodia with columbia. you know, he has been a president who has done things. he, too, would i think be doing service to america by stepping aside and letting democrats choose a second generation leader. >> 22 other democrats have refused to say they would like to see the president run for re-election. a couple have even said flat out please don't. let's bring in rob smith president of the douglas society. deputy presentedor off the press and a former d.c. party chairman. rob, let's go to you first. the president's supporters say cheat sheets, every president uses this kind of stuff. biden is no exception. >> yeah, i think his supporters

would be wrong. i will tell you something. when you look at all of these different things. you look at the cheat sheets we see over and over again. when you look at him wandering off at the white house easter egg hunt and having to be put back on post by the easter bunny and walking off stage and shaking hands with people that aren't there and telling journalists i'm supposed to call on you and not you. the sense to voters this is somebody not in control but somebody that is being controlled. and even in these sort of tightly-controlled atmosphere. i will give the biden administration one thing. they are tightly controlled how the president is seen by the most people. these are situations when you go into him running for president again possibly in 2024 that are not going to be as tightly controlled. there will be more gaffes and more stuff like this and a bigger spotlight on them. i think that the people that do not want biden to run know this.

none other than michelle obama. probably the most popular democrat on earth kind of hemmed and hawed a little bit when asked whether or not he should run again. a lot of people are realizing this is maybe not the route they should go in 2024. even democrats. >> is the party comfortable with, okay with the president's recent gaffes on the world stage? >> every president has had gaffes on the world stage and national stage. >> they have but they don't often just to be fair they don't off en conflate the names of countries separated by more than half a planet earth. >> they probably shouldn't but it happens. i'm a trial lawyer and i conflate names all the time. i have cheat sheets when i talk to a jury, when i managed 100 lawyers. i also made sure that we did not want to make mistakes. he is on the world stage if you

will. why shouldn't he have a cheat sheet? if age is an issue, the issue should be is he able to do the job? so far he has been beating the gop at every corner. if he is incapable of doing the job, right, then that's a fair assessment. i don't want to discriminate against him because of his age. we're all getting older. >> the story of cheat sheets is a story about confidence, right? does his own party across the board have confidence in his ability and his capability moving forward? >> i have to jump in and say -- >> let me get rob in here quick. >> i just wanted to say getting republicans back into the house republicans took back the house. i don't see that as biden beating the gop at every corner. i see them as taking a victory lap because they didn't get beat as bad as they expected. >> that's a win.

the cheat sheets are one thing. but his capabilities are another. it is not a matter of confidence, it is a matter of is he -- does he have the stamm knee quite frankly to even do another campaign. he is 80 years old. that's fire. if he is 80 and can do the job it's an unfair hit to say because he has the gaffes somehow he is not capable. he is very capable. he is in office right now and getting things done and even the gop can't disagree with that. >> let's move to this. republicans have retaken the house. one moderate democrat is furious at the far left wing of the party. an oregon congressman who lost to a progressive in may and that person lost the seat to a republican. he tells the "washington post" we're leaving the center wide open for republicans. we have to be a bigger tent party. the piece says president biden's party had its own problems with what everyone calls candidate

quality. the difference is that unlike republicans, democrats aren't ready to talk about it. new hampshire republican governor weighed in with this. >> you have all the other national stuff happening that scared a lot of folks. the extremism that's out there and it was just a rejection of that extremism. i don't think anyone likes the policies out of d.c. no one likes paying $6 for a gallon of heating oil. people said we can work on these policies later but as americans we have to fix extremism right now. >> scott, you are up first this time. >> i think sununu is right. the extreme left and extreme right scared the middle. most americans are moderates. in fact, you all covered democrat far left extremists a lot more than the core of the party. they aren't as vocal. quality candidates are important. >> we don't cover them more to be fair. we cover what they say and when

those riffs become laid bare and mainstream media is taking them apart. >> that's a fair comeback. the reality is that moderates make up this country and quality candidates matter on both sides, if you will. and the white house conservative democrats or the white working class haven't voted for a democratic president to put in the white house since lbj. the democratic party has to figure out we should have a big tent and what have you and we need white working class voters but are they going tomorrow back or focus on our base on black, brown, gay and women voters. a challenge for the democratic party. >> are white working class voters going back to the democrats? >> white working class voters are never going back to democrats. the republicans and g.o.p. need to do a good job at getting to

that white voter base. let me tell you something right now. the far left extremism among the democrat party is not something that's ended. when you think about the justice democrats. the group that endorsed aoc, all these other people. >> sorry to cut you off. we're coming up to a break. we'll get you both back. thanks for watching "the faulkner focus." "outnumbered" is coming up after the break. to pay down high rate credit cards, personal loans, even car loans. veterans get more at newday. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind.

a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells
