with the hunter biden investigation. >> john: andy mccarthy has a brand-new op-ed and writes of course biden officials are interfering. why else has hunter skated? we talk to andy mccarthy new at 2:00 and whether or not the whistleblower will turn up the heat on biden's doj. >> sandra: welcome back as "america reports" heads into a second hour on this friday afternoon, it's been a heck of a week, john. >> john: continues to be a heck of an afternoon. john roberts in washington. also this hour, deflate-gate hits boston again. dozens of folks waking up to find the tires on their suvs slashed and ominous notes from a group calling itself the tire extinguishers. >> sandra: patting themselves on the back, a do-it-yourself movement. taking aim at suvs in the name of environmental justice. >> john: and in the next few

minutes, the president will unveil his own environmental justice plan at the white house. we expect he will take aim at republicans. here is a little bit of a preview from karine jean-pierre. >> the proposal would repeal the inflation reduction act green energy tax credit, sending thousands of jobs back to china. easier for oil companies to use toxic chemicals that cause severe burns, damage people's eyes and quite literally melt bones. >> john: we will keep an eye on that for any news about the debt and spending fight. but first -- >> sandra: hours away from a curfew taking place in chicago's millennium park, right downtown smack in the middle of that city. the police say they are bracing for potential unrest, more unrest this weekend after hundreds of teens took to the streets there last weekend. two people, remember, were shot in that mayhem. >> john: the department planning to deploy more officers to the

popular park but many question if that will be enough to stop possible chaos from happening again. >> sandra: rising crime forcing some to pack their bags and just leave town. >> it's not worth it anymore, the danger -- we are very safety-oriented company and we can't put up with it anylonger. >> sandra: the teen violence not only in chicago but at our nation's capital. headline after headline, kids as young as 14 years old committing crimes, including carjackings. >> john: a brand-new concern for police as they struggle with staffing. emily is fired up and here to weigh in. lucas tomlinson, on the shrinking police force in the district. >> good afternoon, john. fewer cops on the beat means crime goes up in the nation's capital and elsewhere. earlier, we spoke to the head of

the d.c. police union. >> crime is out of control, not enough police officers, our response times have gone up, investigative personal that has to investigate the cases is overwhelmed and understaffed, and we are not able to catch the bad guys that are causing a lot of this crime. >> d.c. police force now the smallest it's been in 50 years, john. officers are leaving faster than they can be replaced. d.c.'s police chief says he could lose 200 more by the end of the year. d.c.'s mayor says she wants more cops on the street, the chief said it's going to be very challenging. take a look at the crime stats as of this morning. homicide is up 27%, sex abuse up 47%, motor vehicle theft, car theft, doubled. total crime now up 25% this year compared to last. these rise in killings comes on top of last year's highs. something the city has not seen in 20 years. we recently learned u.s. attorney here in d.c. appointed

by president biden declined to prosecute nearly 70% of those arrested last year. we spoke to virginia's attorney general next door about this earlier. >> single most effective way to lower gun violence and violent crime is actually arrest and prosecute repeat violent offenders. that has worked every time it has been tried. >> this week the republican-controlled house of representatives voted to block a crime bill from the d.c. city council because they say it's soft on crime. expect crime to be a major issue in 2024. >> john: no question it will be. lucas tomlinson in downtown d.c. sandra. >> sandra: portland, the newest fast food restaurant is already a victim of crime there before it's even opened. headline after headline, shake shack debut in portland, the mayor setting -- having a ribbon cutting ceremony on monday but vandals striking days before the

grand opening. already a boarded up window after someone smashed right through it. sadly, folks won't get their burgers, john. >> john: and just down the street, outdoor retailer rei announcing that it is packing up and leaving downtown portland after 20 years after struggling with rising crime. in a statement to local outlets, says last year rei portland had the highest number of break-ins and thefts in two decades, despite actions to provide extra security. >> sandra: really something to see what is happening in the once great american cities. chicago police bracing for a potential repeat of last weekend's violence. businesses there terrorized last weekend, they are fearful of what may be to come. downtown millennium park is being secured to avoid this scene from last weekend. many question if this will be enough to prevent another potential teen takeover. emily is here, host of

"outnumbered" and crime podcast. you see the businesses, hung on as long as they could, and it's about the safety of their employees. this is gary rabin. he joined us on wednesday. >> we choose not to work there, it's a terrible place to be, a governor and mayor and future mayor promoting the anarchy. the employees would rather be in any state in the country. >> sandra: what are the residents supposed to do, those hanging on, their taxes are going up, crime is so bad they are scared to walk down the street, no idea what's going to happen this weekend, ramp up the police force, set a curfew to maintain law and order in the city. >> and the business owner is articulating how everyone feels

in the ro ten democratic-run cities, and the property value and the value of your business plummets like that, it limits your options of leaving. those that can do are doing so on thin ground, and everyone behind are subject to the repeat attacks frankly and crime sector and economically. mayor-elect johnson says i'm going to hire 200 new detectives but he says it's about investing in smart ways, in youth programs and the like. sure that's important but he also needs as the virginia attorney general stated to have accountability for this. he needs to stop the teen takeovers. groups are people are committing violence, beating up people that have to go to the hospital. >> sandra: the young couple attacked as they walked out of a nordstrom on tuesday after all of this, got scratches, black and blue all over their face and to your point, he's doubling down on defending these teens.

here is the mayor-elect johnson. >> demonizing children is wrong. we have to keep them safe as well. have you ever taught middle school? i have. have you ever raised young people? do you understand the risk that young people take just because they are young? sometimes they make silly decisions. they do. and so we have to make sure that we are investing to make sure that young people know they are supported. >> sandra: how about keep them safe. how about we address those numbers in the city year to date, 2023. violent crimes, 20,000 of them, up 45% from last year. year before that, up 96%. it just goes up and up and up every year. what are they doing about it? >> there is nothing silly about this kind of violence that these people are engaging in. nothing silly about seven out of ten of chicago's homicide victims being young black males. nothing silly about this here in this town, 20% arrested under the age of 21.

so for him to reduce these offenders, these repeat offenders to children reduces the impact it's havoc on the residents. lori lightfoot said he needs to understand the economic impact exceeds the rest of the state. you showed a woman attacked in her driveway in a gun in a nice area outside of chicago. >> sandra: lincoln park. >> the crime spreads. but chicago needs to get its act together so the rest of the state does not succumb to the spreading crime that portland and oregon has as well. >> sandra: i'm praying for the city, puts lives in jeopardy, including those teenagers partaking in this, two young boys shot in the middle of that, but the mayor-elect -- he's going to speak at a keynote this saturday night, we'll monitor that as a team. and lori lightfoot seems to be changing her tune a bit. seems to be on the way out saying we need to care not just about the teenagers, but we need to care about the victims of

these crimes, and the people in these neighborhoods. so that is interesting. we'll see if he changes his tune at all. emily, thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> sandra: loved the show today. setting up the curfew, beefing up the police force, we'll see what this weekend looks like in that city. >> john: novel concept lori lightfoot came up with, caring about the victims of crime. interesting. novel. we need more of that. president biden set to make remarks once the daily briefing wraps up. topic today, environmental justice. the latest agenda push critics say show the biden white house is out of touch with the rest of america. mollie hemingway is here. >> sandra: climate activists stepping up their acts of vandalism. how their attacks are making sure their message does not fall flat. >> you know i'm all for taking

>> sandra: if folks in boston won't stop driving suvs voluntarily, a group of activists are going to get them off the road. ecovandals are causing havoc in a wealthy neighborhood. they slashed and deflated tires on more than 40 luxury suvs while sparing the smaller electric cars. the ecowarriors leaving notes for victims of vandalism, saying they flattened the tires to prevent pollution. they even bragged about it on

twitter and posted a how to on their website to recruit new members. the group has been known to target drivers in other countries like germany and france and i only have one question, john. where do all the tires they slashed no longer able to be used, where do they end up? landfill? >> john: and where are the police? where are the authorities in stopping this from happening? >> sandra: just awful. >> john: it's inconvenient, that's for sure. the piain at the tires and pump 3 3.68 a gallon, up $0.25 from last month. they are expected to rise. ain't over yet, folks, just getting going. >> sandra: alarms over the biden administration green push, for offshore wind projects. much of the area conflicts with military operations, as deb

holland got emotional defending the administration's aggressive energy agenda on capitol hill. >> climate change is the crisis of our lifetime. we have an obligation to future generations to make sure that we have a planet for them to live on and that's why i'm here and that's why i'm working incredibly hard to make sure that we can realize that transition. >> sandra: far left democrat, including aoc, are pushing to reintroduce the massive tens of trillions of dollars green new deal. >> john: we are expecting, sandra, to hear from the president on the climate issue at any moment now. he is set to announce the new executive order that creates the office of environmental justice. is the president caving into the left wing of his party as he's reported to kick off his re-election campaign, and after moving to the middle on some other issues? let's bring in mollie hemingway. so, this office is going to

highlight how pollution and climate change disproportionately affect minority and tribal communities. higher rates of asthma because of locations of power plants, etc., etc., but part of this plan to ensure that 40% of investments flow to disadvantaged neighborhoods. courts have blocked similar measures. what do you think is happening? >> we have seen a lot from the biden administration, they will push a policy they may know to be unconstitutional, expect to have overturned at the federal courts level but they do it anyway for political gain. i think this might fit into that type of scenario. they have a very powerful and active base that supports radical left wing environmental policies. >> and expensive. >> and they need to be appeased as part of a re-election strategy and so this is part and parcel of that. >> john: the president will face

the gop as party of fossil fuels. and i was driving down the highway and a tesla had stalled and 2, 3-mile long back-up of gas burning cars creating pollution trying to get around this stalled electric car. but you -- can you paint the republicans as the party of fossil fuels when that's what this nation has been running on for so long, and that's what we need in order to ensure our energy security? because i mean -- god love you if you've got an electric car but we are not ready to go all the way yet. >> another interesting political division, and downplayed during the 2020 election. president trump when he was campaigning tried to say that president biden might shut down energy independence, he did not support fossil fuels. at the time president biden then candidate biden said that was a lie and was not true. of course day one of his administration he starts setting about to destroy the energy independence we had. so, it is partly a political

issue, too. republicans tend to like the economic prosperity that comes with energy independence, and like it has national security benefits if you don't have to go to war with other people to get oil, more security and independence that is important. on the left, even something like electric cars, they understand that if they can move everybody to that, away from gas stoves, away from gas filled cars, they can exert more control. they can determine whether you get to drive or not and how. >> john: slam mccarthy for wanting to get rid of subsidies for electric cars and solar panels as well in the debt ceiling deal. and biden administration socially engineering the suburb, got the attention of the wall street journal editorial board, said the biden administration has not met an alleged social problem it does not want to fix with a new administrative rule and now taking it to the suburbs. they want to socially engineering suburban neighborhoods to its racial and

ethnic liking. hud would require towns that receive federal funding to create equity plans for housing in the future, and to racially balanced neighborhoods. is this something the federal government can mandate by fiat? >> any government, any level of government, federal, state or local would be telling people to live or enforce racism in the name of fighting racism is not right to a lot of american people but shows how aggressive the biden administration is in executing on what it wants, on giving its base voters what they want and they are doing some draconian thing, and the mortgage plan, good credit scores. >> john: worked all their lives to have a great credit score. >> to subsidize people, and equity, a horrible name for what is contained in it, but they

think it will harm the type of republican voters who do save for housing and good credit scores. >> and in california, electricity and gas prices as well. mollie, have a good weekend. sandra. >> sandra: you are looking live at the white house there, where the president is about to make his remarks. we will monitor that. situation in sudan is deteriorating. might they have to evacuate the embassy before it's too late? >> john: federal prosecutors pushing to charge hunter biden for tax fraud but has he been getting off the hook because of who his father is? andy mccarthy seems to think so and here to explain next. >> it was not russian disinformation, the laptop story looks to be true.

>> sandra: fox news alert, a live look at the rose garden where president biden is currently delivering remarks right now on a sunny washington day. he is set to sign an executive order that aims to advance environmental justice, says the white house. the order is set to establish the office of environmental justice to coordinate with the administration's efforts, the white house says, on delivering clean air and water to communities nationwide. he is expected reportedly in this speech to take aim at speaker kevin mccarthy, which he says their agenda at the white house stands in stark contrast to the dangerous vision speaker mccarthy and his extreme caucus have for our planet, our economy, and public health. so we are watching this happen at the white house. we are going to continue to monitor the president's remarks. we'll bring you news from the white house and the rose garden as we get it. john. >> john: we'll keep watching that.

u.s. military moving additional forces where they may have to evacuate personnel in sudan's capital. jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon and jennifer, you have to worry for the u.s. personnel there, why they weren't evacuated a while ago. >> well, john, the violence began last saturday and the situation is extremely dire based on firsthand eyewitness reports on the ground in sudan. the state department says it is in touch with several hundred private american citizens who are in sudan and might want to be evacuated. the u.s. military is moving military assets as you mentioned, given the likelihood they will be asked soon to evacuate u.s. embassy personnel, stranded aide workers. at least one american is dead, some fear a new vicious civil

war. the state department confirmed a private u.s. citizen was killed as fighting escalates between two rival sudanese generals over control of the country. the american was not working with the u.s. government, and was not located with u.s. diplomats and security personnel who are hunkered down at the u.s. embassy. other americans are trapped at a nearby hotel. the pentagon has begun moving additional forces to a u.s. naval base in nearby jabuti for a potential evacuation mission. >> our focus is to make sure we continue to do prudent planning and that we create and maintain as many options for our president as possible. >> about 70 u.s. embassy personnel have been locked down since last week when gunfire and explosions erupted in the capital last saturday. u.s. marines and others remain on alert ready to respond once given orders by the president, more americans in kartoum have

requested evacuation but the airport is not functioning, it's the center of the fighting and deemed too dangerous to fly in or out of the capital. >> we are very concerned about reports of continuing clashes, attacks on civilians, and looting and urge the saf and rsf to uphold the nationwide ceasefire through at least the end of sunday, april 23rd. >> at least 14,000 americans in sudan, many with dual passports. some are elderly and not looking to leave their war torn home. >> due to the uncertainty security situation and the closure of the airport, americans should have no expectation of a u.s. government coordinated evacuation at this time and we expect that's going to remain the case. it's absolutely imperative that u.s. citizens in sudan make their own arrangements to stay safe in these difficult circumstances. >> secretary of state antony blinken hoped to arrange a ceasefire between the two sudanese generals to coincide

with this weekend's muslim eid celebration to allow for safe passage for those who remain trapped. >> john: the situation there indeed is dire. see what the u.s. government can do about getting those folks out, thanks. sandra. >> sandra: the white house is firing back at allegations that the administration has intervened in the probes into tax crimes and shady business dealings involving hunter biden. but our andy mccarthy argues it is pretty clear biden officials have been interfering and since that's the only plausible reason why the president's son has not been criminally charged. joining us now is andy mccarthy himself, former federal prosecutor and fox news contributor. i'll put your piece in "the new york post" up on the screen for the viewers, only one way to get off scott free for this agregious behavior, you have to be joe biden's son. how else could hunter biden have

been under investigation for so many years with no charges. andy? >> you know, sandra, a lot of this conduct that we are -- that we have been looking at goes back to 2016, 2017, the, i mention in the piece the firearms situation where he made a false statement on a required federal form. that's the kind of case that in a prosecutor's office that's borderline competent, you could put it together in five days, not five years. so i defy -- i would love to hear from somebody some explanation why it would be that you have these straightforward crimes. we are not talking about like complex insider trading and all this other kind of stuff that u.s. attorney's offices spend years on. those cases are complicated. but a lot of what we are dealing with here is very straightforward, and it's --

even if we had a straightforward story was a very important one and we could bring it at any time and we just left it on the shelf regardless of whether it was timely or important or anything else for years. just doesn't make any sense. >> sandra: that is a reasonable question and you are reminded of this moment in the debate stage, 2020, when then candidate joe biden called the laptop story disinformation citing this very letter, andy. >> there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this, he's accusing me of is a russian plant. they have said this haves -- four -- five former heads of the cia, both parties, say what he is saying is a bunch of garbage. nobody believes it. >> sandra: i mean, think about that, andy. the american people are right to have really serious questions here and this is what we are

getting from the white house, the response to this, ian sams, a spokesperson for the biden administration, for oversight and investigations is telling fox. the american people see these house gop attacks for what they are. political stunts intended to hurt president biden and house republicans would be wise to instead focus on doing their job. raising the debt ceiling to avoid an economic catastrophe and working together with the president to make actual progress on important issues. andy, this is an important issue. >> yeah, i think it's an important issue. and you know what's also important, sandra? those of us who look carefully at the new york post reporting about the biden, the hunter biden laptop at the time, impressed there were reliability and authenticity to it. it seemed very clear this was hunter biden's stuff and could only be hunter biden's stuff. and you know, i say that as

somebody who used to do this kinds of thing for a living so i'm still scratching my head how it is that our $90 billion a year intelligence community and these 51 agents are veterans and alumni of that community, how could they conceivably have looked at what we looked at and said russian disinformation when there wasn't a single bit of indication that it was russian disinformation. and how could they not have seen that what was on the laptop was a lot of evidence that foreign powers were invested in joe biden and not ask themselves, you know, if you've got anti-american regimes that think it's expedient for them to spend millions of dollars buying joe biden's political influence, isn't that something that we as former national security officials ought to be a little bit concerned about? >> sandra: i'm out of time, andy. where do you think this goes? we just took a bit of the white

house press briefing and we got out, there was not even a single question by the press on it. >> well, yeah, i guess -- you know, as long as they feel they can stay mum about it, they will stay mum about it. it seems to me at least on capitol hill the wheels of investigation are starting to turn. >> sandra: all right, andy mccarthy, always good to have you, sir. thanks for joining us. we'll keep asking the questions. john. >> john: sandra, fox news alert new and update on the massive fire on a connecticut bridge that we first told you about last hour. police say the fire has been contained at this moment. but take a look at this dramatic video, flames and black smoke. the mayor of new london confirmed the driver of the truck that rolled over has been killed in the incident. two passengers in the other car that were involved have been rushed to the hospital. we are expecting to hear from

the connecticut governor shortly, as he may be asked about a similar accident that happened nearly 20 years on i-95 that caused a large swath of the critical highway to be closed for weeks with repairs taking years to fix the damage. we expect that that may be the case here as well because apparently part of that roadway has buckled from the heat. anybody who has driven over that bridge, and i have a number of times, knows it rises up probably less than 100 feet, but it's a critical connector between new london on the west and groten on the east. also where the electric boat company is where they were building the sea wolf submarines, so the gold star memorial bridge at least in what looks to be the eastbound direction closed now for a number of hours and likely will be for days to come. we'll keep watching that and give you updates as soon as we

hear about it. sandra. >> sandra: absolutely will. new testing, meanwhile, can give people early warnings of devastating diseases like alzheimer's, but some people who decided to get tested now wish they never had. why they say having more information is not always a good thing. dr. marc siegel will join us next on that. >> john: also, many suitcases go missing from airports but how many of them contain millions of dollars in gold? we have that story coming up, too. hi, i'm william devane. did you know it took our founders 116 days to debate and draft the u.s. constitution? turns out they didn't trust the printing of paper money, but they did trust gold and silver. article 1, section 10. gold and silver. good for the founders, good for me, good for you. rosland capital - is a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs,

>> sandra: new york city mayor adams says the federal government is failing his city and that more money is needed to deal with the massive number of migrants that have ended up here. fox business correspondent madison alworth is live outside of one of new york city's newest migrant shelters. madison, a huge issue the city is dealing with every single day. how is the biden administration responding to this pressure for more federal money? >> so, sandra, mayor eric adams is actually in washington, d.c. today and we did hear from karine jean-pierre less than an hour ago, she confirmed that he is meeting with key members of the biden white house, including senior adviser julie rodriguez,

janet yellen, and fema representatives. did not say what is happening during those meetings but as you can imagine, adams will be bringing up the migrant crisis. and part of this is happening after he called out the city. he's in washington, d.c. for the annual african american mayor's association conference. this is just days after he called out the biden administration. take a listen. >> why is it every elected official in washington d.c. something the national government, where are you doing this to new york? the national government has turned his back on new york city. and we have to ask that question. they just started asking that question. >> one of the big expenses is housing. we are now at 103 emergency shelters, most of them hotels like the one behind me. this one just announced last week, and it is already full.

110 men living inside this residence being paid for by tax dollars. and when you talk about those expenses, this is on the cheaper end. per day, costing taxpayers $10,000, that's around $300,000 a month for just this hotel. >> this is one of the less expensive ones so just imagine, take my number, the low number, and multiply that by 102. what do you get? billions of dollars. the>> the estimate is this going to cost the stay $4.2 billion by next summer. >> sandra: at a time when so many of the city's own residents are struggling as well, madison, huge problem. thank you very much for covering it. >> absolutely. >> john: sandra, demand for alzheimer's gene testing has more than doubled, is the

knowledge worth having? a question many are grappling with. for actor chris hemsworth, thor, learning about the risk prompted lifestyle changes, others are helpless and wish they did not take the test. reuters said it totally backfired, pit falls of genetic testing. dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine. just because you can get a test, doc, does not mean you should get it. where do you come down on this? >> first of all, john, great to be on with you. i don't think people should do it themselves. i don't think the home genetic testing is accurate enough. i think it can scare you, i think only would do this if a doctor was guiding you. now, the world is changing with this. i mean, you know, you talk about chris hemsworth, we know the apoe4 gene, he has two of them, 2.5% of the population has that,

it increases the risk of having some kind of a neurological, neuro degenerative problem, maybe not alzheimer's but it's no absolute indication he's going to have it. chances are he won't. idea he's taking time off after this movie to think about how to approach things really disturbs me. eventually, john, the technology will catch up and we'll have more proof, more information, and better treatments, by the way. we have a new alzheimer's treatment out there, but it's not where we need to be with treatments. we are not there in terms of testing or treatments, so i want doctors involved and i don't want people rushing to get the tests. >> john: my twins and i watched chris hemsworth's series "limitless," it's interesting, and he said it was a god send for him, he figures he can make lifestyle changes to reduce his chances of getting alzheimer's.

my mother passed away from alzheimer's disease so i know i am at least homozygous, i don't know if my father had it, but the problem is, maybe some treatments may take care of some of the symptoms of alzheimer's, what's the purpose of knowing about something science would suggest you can't do anything about. and maybe other forms of cancer as well to get genetic testing for. >> one more thing about alzheimer's. we have neuro imaging that's advanced. i do believe in preparing but i also want to point out some of the things he's doing lifestyle-wise, i want everyone to do. playing games and puzzles and eating better, eating more vegetables and exercising more, training the brain like a muscle. in terms of cancer, we are getting closer. a company called golari has about -- if you test positive for this dna test in your blood,

we call it liquid biopsy, 40% chance you have some kind of cancer. but there again, it can lead on a wild goose chase where somebody thinks oh, i have cancer, i have cancer, they do every test under the sun to find it and you don't have it. 60% chance you don't have it. the wall street journal did an excellent report on that. i think we are going to get there, where liquid biopsy combined with early treatment, artificial intelligence and surgeons that want to know this stuff very, very early so they can remove it. >> john: let me come back to this idea of whether or not you could forestall the onset of alzheimer's. people think if you keep your brain active -- i remember in my mom's alzheimer's wing was the chief of medicine at a very prestigious hospital and a person who used their brain to the nth degree every day and still ended up at a fairly early age with alzheimer's. is there really anything you can do?

>> john, great point you just made. it's a neuroinflammation, inflammation of the brain and genetically related and the answer is if you build up the proteins and once they start to build up, there's nothing you can do at that point. again, you also want to prepare the family, though. so we want our families to know and we want people to eat better, exercise more, and we will have treatments very soon. >> john: all right. let's hope it gets better. i know i feel like the clock is ticking for me and so many other people as well. doc, good to see you. thanks so much, appreciate it. >> great to see you, john. >> sandra: great discussion. a theft at the toronto international airport believed to be one of the biggest heists since one that inspired the film "good fellas." what it means to be deployed and how much we want to put down roots when we come home. as a veteran, you've earned the right to apply for a va home purchase loan, with no down payment. with the newday va loan,
