hi, i'm john and i'm from dallas, texas. my wife's name is joy. we've been married 45 years. i'm taking a two-year business course. i've been studying a lot. i've been producing and directing for over 50 years. it's a very detailed thing and the pressure's all on me. i noticed i really wasn't quite as sharp as i was. my boss told me about prevagen and i started taking it. i feel sharper. my memory's a lot better. it just works. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. .

a fox news alert. a russian fighter jet collided with a u.s. drone over the black sea. here we go again, sandra. >> brand new at 2:00, sandra smith, the president has been briefed on the matter and the u.s. was operating in international air space. it posed a there's no one and the lust reach out -- the u.s. will reach out to russia about what we're learning. we're also keeping an eye on the pentagon briefing and we will bring news when we get it. >> we begin with news impacting every single american family and that is inflation. brand new numbers out today. the consumer price index up 6% from a year ago. >> 6% from already high prices and that means that families are already paying stubbornly high prices as they drop plans for

summer travel. >> the federal reserve in a tough spot about whether or not to raise interest rates further. inflation is nowhere near where they want it to be, but the silicon valley bank collapse has the markets on edge. >> so you have to get that inflation right down to 2% or 3%. you have to. it's a mandatory for our economy to perform well. there will fallout from the fed increases and they'll keep raising, mark my words. >> let's get to grade trimbal. the fed is trying to reign it in, but the dollar keeps getting smaller and smaller. >> it is, inflation is easing but it is still running extremely hot. that puts the fed in a tough spot here. do they stay the course or do they pump the brakes because of this banks -- banking scare.

they have been trying to tack the business services secretary. if you're planning spring or summer vacations airfare and hotels are pricier than they were a year ago. americans are getting hit ere time they go to the grocery store or go out to eat. the cost of all of these staples from meat, eggs, milk, and coffee more expensive than last year. two areas we are seeing relief, gas at the pump is down 2% from a year ago and used car prices have fallen drastically from last year. president biden is seizing on easing inflation as an opportunity to go on the attack. i'll do everything in my power to prevent us from going backwards, the president says, including by standing up to congressional republicans who threaten economic catastrophe over the debt limit in order to secure tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations and reckless cuts to critical programs that american seniors

and families cut on. that is the president's response to this inflation report. we'll have to wait a week to see what the fed's response will be. >> we'll be awaiting that. grady, thank you. >> it affects just about everything we do in our every day lives, so the american people will be watching closely. president biden is pushing forward with a oil drilling project in alaska and it is infuriating some. >> no more drilling. there is no more drilling. i have not formed any new drilling. >> and now democratic lawmakers say this will not bode well for president biden as he eyes a 2024 run. alaska republican senator dan sullivan says it is huge for his home state, our national security, and yes, the

environment. he is on deck. first to jackie heindricks live at the white house. >> president biden did campaign on a promise to end fossil fuels, but high gas prices really dogged this administration following the pandemic and russia's war in ukraine, and critics have blamed spending for contributing to the inflation. the president is trying to have it both ways including a slimmed down version of this project while getting conoco-phillips to relinquish lease that's will no longer be developed. and in defending his administration's approval of this project, the white house is pointing out these leases were issued decades ago. >> these are existing leases issued by previous administrations. as far back as the '90s. we have limited decision space, but we focused on how to reduce

the project's footprint. >> this is quickly becoming a campaign issue, though. the 2024 candidate marianne williamson, the only democrat challenging biden, saying i would immediately cancel the willow project. we're either going to save the planet or we're not. congressman adam schiff said it had is a mistake to approve drilling if does nothing to move us to energy independent and risks harm to the environment. but biden is getting praise on the right. lisa murkowski says i thank them for listening to alaskans and encouraging the right diagnose on willow. if there is a primary, it could potentially become an issue. progressives are vowing to make biden feel pain from this.

the climate group called the sunrise movement is saying the president abandoned millions of young americans that carried the democratic party for the last three democratic cycles. >> jackie heindrick at the white house, great to see you. >> let's bring in dan sullivan who literally just flew back into town. >> good to be on the show. >> so this is a $8 billion project, 600 million barrels of oil, for revenues of about $44 billion. what will it mean for the state? >> this is really important for the state, but it's really important for america in is a really important victory that we had. it is important for the environment, the highest environmental standards in the world, in alaska, i used to be in charge of that. it's really great for american workers, right? 2500 jobs is the estimate. a lot of union jobs. conoco is literally deploying people today if is starting.

this was the ultimate shovel ready project. the native community supported it strongly, and really strong for national security. one of the great instruments of american power is american energy. xi jinping and putin fear it. this should have been a decision made sooner for alaska and for america as well. >> this is a real about face for joe biden who back in 2020 you saw one time there in the podium, but he said it again in a town hall meeting that there would be no drilling on federal lands. >> no more drilling on federal lands. period. period period period. >> well, again, a big about face. environmentalists are hammering him over this, but it seems like the idea of tacking to the center of a 2024 run is more important for the moment. >> this administration clearly

has different factions within it as it related it energy. and usually the far left radical enviros and their administration win. this was a split decision. they approved the three-pad willow project but announced a huge lockup of alaska that we, of course, we're going to fight that once that coming out. so it does show that they're still listening to the far the left, but with regard to this project, the one thing that i actually mentioned to the president, i mention to every biden administration official and they have never been able to answer it. even the ones that supposedly care about the environment. they just lifted sanctions on venezuela. we're importing 100,000 barrels a day with a terrorist regime with a horrible record on labor rights and the environment. one of the most polluting places to produce oil anywhere in the world. how can you do that and not let

alaska produce. they never have an answer to that question. i think that was part poof the calculus here. >> and mike dunlavey asks that as well. that brings me around to china, since you and hawaii are closest to china, xi jinping says if we sell australia nuclear powered submarines, it will put the u.s. "in danger." he is going to run around and make deals. seeing putin and sge len -- zelensky. >> no, i don't think they are. the issue here is i like to talk about being in this new era of authoritarian aggression lead by putin and xi jinping.

we have to face it with resolve and confidence. here is where they're not doing enough. we have extraordinary strategic advantages relative to china. we have a great network of allies. a lethal military. incredible energy resources, and on those issues the president put forward another budget last week to cut the military. that's the third time in a row. that only emboldens xi jinping and putin. on energy, natural security, and critical minerals, it's so important to compete with them. and with the few exceptions, the willow project being one, they under mine that, try to shut it down. we have a huge mining district called the ambler mining district. they shut it down a year and a half ago. it is a huge challenge when they're undermining our areas of

strength. >> thank you for coming, particularly after a red eye. >> well, i try to do it, but thank you. >> we admire your stamina. >> a breaking story that we brought you from the pentagon, a russian fighter jet collided with a u.s. drone and crashed into the black sea. the jet flu in front of the drone in a reckless manner dumping fuel. mike tobin is on this. what more we're learning as we await that briefing at this hour, mike. >> sandra, we're told this happened at 7:03 local time south and east of where i am right now. the u.s. m29 reaper drone was conducting routine surveillance.

according to the u.s. european command, two su27s between the harass and menace this drone. they passed dangerously close to the drone, in front of the drone, they dumped fuel on top of the drone, and ultimately one of the two fighter jets struck the propeller of this reaper drone and forced it to ditch in the black sea. they used very strong longstanding twooj scribe this. they called it reckless. they say that james kirby has been briefed and stress that it happened in international air space. >> we have been flying over that air space consistently for a

year. and we're going to continue to do that and we don't need to have some sort of check in with the russians before we fly in international airspace. >> there is no word from moscow on this incident. >> that beginning at 2:30 eastern time. we'll be listening for that. mike tobin on the ground in kyiv. john, it will be everything based on what we know right now. what they say or how they brief this at 2:30. a few moments from now. it is a routine operation, we're toll, and it recklessly ran into that drone. hopefully we learn more in a few minutes. >> remember what happened when there was a navy e3 that was flying in the south china sea, and a chinese j8 came up and bumped into it.

the pilots play fast and loose and they get close. i don't imagine this pilot meant to hit the drone. if you accidentally took down your su27 i don't think they would be too happy about it. >> and we may not know that specific detail just yet but we'll listen for the briefing. >> students in the meantime, stanford university will not give up. a new report that dozens of them are targeting the law school's dean that apologized to a federal judge that got heckled there. he joins us next and promises not to mince words. >> new developments in the investigation into hunter biden, a subpoena for 14 years of business records and some lawmakers are warning this is s much bigger than hunter. only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it!

pope francis making some news. suggesting that priests may not have to be celebat future. clergy without children were more likely to leave their money to the church. it enforces the rule, but there are growing calls to end the ban. i also believe separately that i got an e-mail today that the exception is being made for corned beef on friday during lent. >> i would hope, if is st. patrick's day. when they say temporary, that is

different than most of us, that is 1000 years so far. that is extraordinary and maybe something to discuss with jonathan morris tomorrow. >> indeed we'll give him a call and you have to acknowledge the fact that they had a hard time recruiting new priests in an era for the church and perhapses this is a way of going about attracting a bigger audience. >> by the way, apparently he is already booked. we'll get deeper into this tomorrow. the republican-lead house oversight is increasing their investigation into hunter biden. congressional correspondent ishna is standing by. >> good afternoon to you, john. that is right the chairman says that he discovered perhaps another biden family member that

maybe is involved in all of this. a couple weeks ago he sent a season over to bank of america for a whopping 14 years worth of bank records. including rob walker, a former clinton official. he walker's account got a $3 million wire. about two months after then vice president biden left office. comer says that walker transferred those funds into the accounts of three biden family members including someone new that they have never considered before. >> i'm not going to disclose that new name, because that really changes things. because what we assumed was that this was just about the president's son and two brothers. now there is a new name that emerged. we have a problem here with

respect to trying to determine what exactly this family was doing to receive these chance actions from china. >> so we have reached out to hunter biden's attorney for a response and we have not seen that yet. meanwhile jamie raskin blasting the subpoena saying it is invasive and overbroad and accusing him of colluding with former president trump to do this. all right, ishna. thank you, some students at stanford are scolding the dean. >> you invited me to speak here, i'm being heckled nonstop, and i'm asking for an administrator to step in -- >> your racism is showing. >> they write in one of the

newspapers that the dean has no place at the school. but these student that's are pushing back appear to be few and far between. they claim the woke mob of students said the administrators dared apologize. and a former clerk to neil gorsuch, what is your take on this? >> this is a good thing for students, they want to shout him down and it is lead by an associate dean for diversity for inclusion?

and she is the ring leader getting these cupcake students fired up, saying the most crude and obnoxious things. this dean should face a complaint with the california bar and they should face discipline with stanford, university. the dean should be fired. they should be disciplined. the most crude and obnoxious ones should be punished. their clients and law firms are going to know about this. they're going to pay a price for this and we're going to make sure that happens. >> here is jonathan's take from yesterday. >> they did an interview recently with a 90-year-old republican professor like they discovered a white buffalo on the plains.

they poked this poor guy with sticks describing what a republican is like to students at harvard. and that is what we're facing in academia. there are very few alternative views given to students. >> my question is is this an isolated incident or is it happening all over the country today. >> this is not our parents or grandparents democratic party. this is not liberals that love america and just disagree with republicans on the best way to get there. these are leftists. they hate america, they hate due process, they hate equality and it shows. they're proud of the facts that they're this intolerant enwant to shout down a judge at one of the top law schools of the country. this dean needs to get fired and the students need to get disciplined. >> the stanford review with it's take, the university's apology, the review writes, will be

meaningless unless axes are taken to rid them of zelots. any administrator that encouraging active unruly students against it. why wasn't anyone stepping in to support him? to protect him? >> well, four of them were sitting in the room with the crazy students heckling him. that shows you where the university is. let me just say this to stanford law students. i know federal judges at every level saw this, it angered them, it will hurt their clerkship chances. call stanford university president and let him know that this is unacceptable and you're going to pull their funding if there are not consequences here. this dei dean, if the students are not in trouble you will pull their funding. >> this is according to a washington free beacon and

eyewitnesss, and there are some photographs on the walls in the school, hundreds of schools lined the hallways to protest the school's dean for apologizing to the judge. >> sandra, the feds fight to reign in inflation. but the economic pressure is mounting on the white house after the collapse of two u.s. banks. >> so what impact will these economic headaches have on the 2024 presidential campaign? brett is up next. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

including eggs. it is up 55% from this time. we have more from the egg farm in new jersey, okay. this is something that everybody is talking about. we all see it. so why are prices so high? >> hey there, sandra. it is limited supply with demand and another factor here is the significant investment that farmers are making to increase their biosecurity at farms to protect flocks from avian flu. and that follows a $700,000 investment since 2015. that sounds like a lot, and it is, but it is a drop in the bucket to what he would have to pay if a flock caught the infection. >> if i had to clean up, one of my farms, a big production

facility like my delaware location, a clean up like that could cost $15 million to $18 million. >> a lot of money there, farmers do a lot to try to keep wild birds away that could carry the avian flu. one way is through predator calls played through the loudspeakers. listen to this. and a sound cannon also routinely startles wild animals to keep them away as workers also constantly clean and change their clothes and trucks are washed inside and out as they come and go from the facilities. workers are always sanitizing equipment. so far 18 million have been slaughtered in this current outbreak costing farmers an

estimated $1 billion nationwide. >> quite an operation there. >> so with families paying an arm and a leg for eggs, how will the white house get ahead of this? let's bring in brett baher. inflation is 6% year over year, less than half of a point month to month, but still high, not where the biden white house wants it to be. and at some point this will start getting political traction. >> yeah, i think the way that people feel, it affects how they vote. if you think about how president biden taking office it was about 4%. now it is 6%. in june it was 9% if you're feeling it, especially eggs, shopping, grocery stores, and gas, it is upwards --

>> yeah, it could be more than next week. >> and really about the bank situation and the decision that the fed will make, the next meeting, about raising rates, not raising rates, really effecting how not only people feel, but how the banks are dealing with the margins. >> and then a idea that the bailout of customer social security a ballout for rich -- bailout for rich people. >> yeah, they really hit that hard and i think, you know, it is really a powerful and populous message when you say don't worry, you can do whatever you want to do, we have your back. let's look ahead to 2024. there is some interesting news coming out of pennsylvania. remember the first people that came out from congress to back

him in 2016. they were viewed with a very skeptical eye, but they stuck with trump and he won. now they're coming out for desantis and it is a big change. >> yeah, they're in full support. they are sitting down saying our country needs strong leadership. someone that gets things done, and together they are saying ron desantis get in this race. they're a former colleague as a house member. there is also politics here in that president trump supported matriano in the race. and felt like the president turned his back on him. there is that but there is also a post january 6th reaction and they both had a very visceral reaction to the president's actions and inactions on that day and afterwards. >> so a well known columnist

said in pennsylvania the ice beneath donald trump is cracking. and peggy wrote about ron desantis saying his strategy now draws as much from the quadrant as possible. leeching him of support. >> yeah, i think that desantis, if and when he gets in, we assume he will get in after the legislationive session in june, he will tap into family roots in pennsylvania, youngs town, ohio. and that will be really driving, as he tries to hit the northwest. >> where are we for the place 2024, and a new poll found that donald trump at 40% support in the republican party, desantis 36%. that's a lot closer than it has been. >> it is and he is not even in yet.

fox news alert from the pentagon. we are getting information on a russian jet that collided with a u.s. drone. let's listen to the update. >> airforces in europe frequently fly over the international air space. these missions support allied partner and u.s. national objectives. as the u.s. airforce is in europe, the demander even sides and european command statement that u.s. and allied aircraft will community to operate and we ask the russians to conduct themselves safely. secretary austin concluded a

successful visit last week where he met with leaders in jordan, iraq, and egypt. >> he confirmed the news that we already have about the russian jet colliding over the black seat. still yet to have any further details on the pilot of that jet and what exactly was involved there. so we await any further information, obviously the pentagon will review what happened. we'll continue to monitor that. meanwhile, a story that we have been waiting for. lifeguards are used to save humans usually, but over the weekend there is a different story. they were alerted to a tiny dog running loose in the beach parking lot. he was swept up by the current, paddling away far from shore. a lifeguard suited up, saved

him, and got him back safely to his owner. chase, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. we're falling in love with your pup. not yours, but you saved her. what's her name, by the way? >> this is tofu. >> okay, so what happened when you were lifeguarding and you saw this tiny little pup out at sea? what did you do? >> yeah, so it was pretty close to the end of the day. we just finished parking or trucks and getting ready to go home at 6:00. and a member of the public came over and said hey, this is probably not something you typically do, but we have been chasing this dog around the parking lot and now it's out swimming. so i just assumed maybe it was close into shore. we hopped in the life guard truck and pulled up to the area where they spotted the dog, and it was probably about 200 to 300

yards off shore. so i suited up, i got my paddle board, and another officer was using binoculars to guide me to where tofu was swimming. >> these are amazing. those owners are probably very grateful. those were really cold water temperatures, i believe about 54 on saturday? >> yeah, the water is pretty cold. probably around 56 degrees and we keep getting this rain so it is pretty chilly out here. >> i wish that tofu could talk. i'm sure she would be thanking you profusely. >> yeah, yeah. >> have you ever saved a puppy before? >> this is my first time saving a dog swimming out in the water, that is for sure. >> i don't know how a dog that size made it out as far as it did, are you hearing a lot about

what is going around the internet? the internet went wild for you. their hearts were warmed all over the country because they saw you take action when this pup desperately needed it. everybody loves a good puppy story, right? >> definitely. >> and you got the puppy back to their owners and they said what to you? >> just met the owner today for the first time, and they're super thankful, and happy that we were able to save their pup and spring him back to them. >> well, chase, you did a really good thing and we appreciate all you do as a lifeguard. i'm sure that puppy, as the new york post put it today, this lifeguard deserves a round of apaws. john, once in awhile you need a break from the crazy news in the world and acknowledge fun, interesting, and good things

happening around the country, right? >> i thought he would invoke the law of the see and just kept tofu for himself, but i guess -- >> i guess he got back to the beach and the owners were not immediately there. he turned it over to authorities and the dog was wet and cold, of course, and they were surprised and they met the owners today when they picked him up. >> meanwhile from the west coast to the east coast, dead fish lining florida's gulf coast. the culprit is the toxic red tide. phil is live with more, how bad is it? >> it is bad, and local businesses are not making the money they should be making in the spring break heavy month of march. we have the sunshine, we have the sand, the surf, but unfortunately you also have dead fish up and down the beach. nobody wants to see that when they're on vacation. florida is periodically dealt

with red tide over the years. this current wave dates back to october. it is bad for fish, bad for humans, and bad for business. the florida fish and wildlife commission says this is high for red tide right now and they check every single week. this part of the state is still reeling and recovering from hurricane ian. so they desperately need the tourism dollars. tourists, locals, and the state are dealing with the unsightly scenes on the beaches and nearby canals. stinky dead fish, tons of them literally. coastal county after coastal county. when the fish consume the toxic algae, they die. it is not known exactly what triggers it. and it goes where ever the wind and waves take it. the state map shows where the low side tide is low, medium,
