>> sandra: all new at 2:00, marijuana is having a moment. from legal pot shops opening in states all over the country to pushes at the highest level of government to decriminalize the drug. message seems to be marijuana is just not that bad for you. >> john: but, in reality, a brand-new study published by the national institutes of health links heavy cannabis use to psychosis in young men. so serious it has led some to take their lives. a group of moms are sounding the alarm. >> they think marijuana helps the kids chill out or helps with

stress when in fact it's causing mental illness, anxiety, depression, suicidal thinking. >> john: welcome back as "america reports" rolls into hour number two. i'm john roberts in washington. that's pretty stunning, sandra. >> sandra: really serious stuff. sandra smith in new, i don't. all new at 2:00, we speak to a mother who lost her son to suicide. she blames years of heavy cannabis use that made her son's delusions worse. her story and her warning just ahead. as we top a brand-new hour, any moment now we are set to see the pentagon take questions as u.s. troops remain stationed at the southern border with thousands of migrants still making their way into this country. president biden claiming the crisis is far less serious than some feared. >> how do you think things are going at the border, sir? >> much better than y'all expected. >> john: the president claims

things are looking great, more than 83,000 migrants were detained in just the past week, and given court dates to appear years from now, thanks to the backlogged judicial system. many of the migrants released into the largest neighborhoods are paying the price for the president's open door policies. >> many of these migrants have been dumped in our neighborhoods without a plan in place to monitor and house them long-term. now you want to overly compensate for people who never lived here before and we need to be taken care of first and foremost. >> our communities are at war. >> sandra: humanitarian crisis becoming a national security concern. a suspect on the fbi terror watch list arrested trying to cross the border into california. >> john: happened in congressman darrell issa's district, he will join us in moment. but peter doocy on the white

house response. >> sandra: and nate foy starts us off live outside the iconic roosevelt hotel here in midtown manhattan where hundreds of migrants are housed. what is the situation like there right now? >> the roosevelt hotel will serve as the main intake center for migrants arriving in new york city but people will be staying here as well, specifically migrant families. other migrants will be receiving medical and legal help her and according to the "new york post," some migrants are in legal of local help after being arrested and charged with assault during two separate fights sunday morning. less than a mile from where we are, at the stewart hotel, 1 of 140 hotels turned into emergency migrant shelters. nypd will not confirm that all ten are migrants but four were charged with assault, six given summons for disorderly conduct. now, as for the roosevelt hotel

where we are, the city will open 175 rooms this week for children and families, eventually the number will rise to 850 rooms. mayor adams describes it as an arrival center, but some will go to public school gyms, including at this school, p.s. 188 in brooklyn. the city says it will not impact school operations but many feel blind sided that schools are used at shelters. >> it's a very fluid situation, nobody knows what's going to happen tonight or tomorrow or sunday, it's still not the proper notification. like someone didn't want them, even though someone doesn't want community to know what is going on. >> sandra, according to local media reports, three schools are being used as emergency migrant shelters. i have reached out to the mayor's office to find out if the number will get higher. so far they have not heard back.

back to you. or i have not heard back, they have not responded. >> sandra: keep us posted, nate foy live here in midtown. john. >> john: for more on the white house response, peter doocy is live on the north lawn. what has the president said about his expectations at the border overall? >> john, he set expectations really, really low. he said things at the border would be chaotic, but now he wants credit. >> how do you think things are going at the border, sir? >> much better than you all expected. >> do you have any plans to visit the border? >> no, pardon me? >> do you have any plans to visit the border? >> not in the near term, no. it would just be disruptive, not anything else. >> so things are going better than expected but border lawmakers are saying that's still not good. >> in the el paso sector, over 6,000 people that are in custody, and this particular facility we can't allow not that

bad to be the normal. >> somebody had 0 visibility, the official president biden put in charge of root causes of migration, vice president harris. they say the biden administration is looking to give her wins on popular issues and now the dhs secretary is telling people asking about her to back off. >> vice president harris has led an extraordinary effort to address the root causes of why people flee their homes in the first instance. violence, poverty, corruption, regimes, extreme weather events, persecution and the like. >> vice president spent the morning at u-penn, daughter graduated from college. >> john: peter as always, thank you.

>> sandra: california congressman darrell issa, the terror suspect was arrested in his district. congressman, thank you so much. we called you up as soon as we saw this happen. i can't imagine folks back home were all too pleased to see this is happening, that a person got into the country that was currently on the fbi terror watch list. what's been the reaction so far to this? >> the first reaction when our sources gave us this information and then it was impossible to verify it for more than 24 hours is we got denials from the administration. my, you know, people in my district know that in fact thousands of people cross illegally and escape the border patrol over and above those that get apprehended, and this individual on the terror watch list was no exception. there but for the random good luck, the border patrol might not have been able to apprehend this individual and that means individuals do get through who are on the terrorist washington list.

>> sandra: and that is obviously the growing fear there are many more that are not being stopped, not being caught coming over the border. this particular afghan national crossed with a group of migrants there in your district, border patrol agents reportedly took that migrant to a processing station, fingerprint scan determined this afghan was a match on the terror screening database. we are told the fbi was notified, confirmed the results, and began an investigation. is the white house still denying this happened? what has been your communication at the federal level? >> they have been unwilling to verify it. but our sources, which include individuals in law enforcement that brought it to us, made it clear that he was in fact a terrorist on the list, and that fortunately we had biometrics on him. remember, sandra, we don't have biometrics on everyone we want, and so as a result, we may have a picture, picture matching is not very effective in the field. fortunately fingerprints and

other i.d. are. but again, you have to first catch them and his -- he did not intend to be caught. he thought he would get through because the open border policy is globally understood to be pretty much a free entry for 5 million plus people a year. >> sandra: well, this happened a day prior to the ending or lifting of title 42, congressman. so you are talking about a surge since then where there could be many more people like this afghan national slipping through. >> absolutely. and the more people that come through, you heard the 83,000 figure, that's 4.3 million people alone in a year, that's over and above the get-aways, over and above other unreported. this is a good example of why we needed to have a system that allowed for people to come here legitimately and prevented people from being welcomed around the world for reasons that you heard the secretary say just a minute ago, which he

included, you know, crime, blah blah blah. he also included poverty. at the end of the day, the vast majority of people who are not threats to us come here because of poverty. but when you see people who should be running away from america, coming to america while on the terrorist watch list, you know they are not coming for a better job. >> sandra: quote from the california governor there, he says california has worked as a model of partnership for a safe and welcoming border undertaking humanitarian efforts in border communities to support arriving migrants, ok. painting a very peaceful, calm, humanitarian situation at the border. i see you shaking your head. i'll have you respond to that and this, officer shane riekert, the county of riverside emergency management talking about the burden this is on residents in your state.

listen. >> the biggest challenge to street releases is that once they are released into the community, they are on their own to be able to provide shelter, to provide food. the impact could be everything from having people just hanging out in our community to inundating our 911 and emergency system. >> sandra: you hear this, you see the pictures, you have the confirmation of an afghan national on the fbi terror watch list coming over the border in that state, why does gavin newsom insist a model of partnership for a safe and welcoming border? >> his home in san francisco, and for that matter san francisco and los angeles, are not where these individuals end up. in great amounts, they end up throughout the rest of california. but with a little bit of glibness here, you understand, california lost over 300,000 residents net last year, that was in spite of this influx of

migrants. the fact is, the only people that seem to be coming to california are people who want something from california. people who have a lot to offer are leaving for texas, for other locations, because california has the wrong plan and it has for a number of years. >> sandra: and before we let you go, congressman, can you tell us what next to expect as far as the reporting on these -- on these migrants that are coming over that do get picked up, scanned, fingerprinted that we learn are on the fbi terror watch list? in this particular case, we are still reporting that via multiple sources through the u.s. customs and border patrol telling fox news you are confirming this per your sources, at what point are we going to demand to hear these numbers at the federal level on a more timely basis? >> we are demanding it now and now that the republicans are majority of the house, we are holding hearings on just that. the fact that it's -- it has been denial and delay in

reporting the true numbers. but even today, when we say there are over 5 million people that have already come here that were not invited, we are under stating it by a huge amount, and i'm less worried about the numbers than i am the character of the people. we have no system in place to stop countries like cuba and others of simply opening up their prisons and telling people to skedaddle to the united states and that's happening for good reason in those countries, but we have to protect our citizens. i represent a border but quite frankly the border is so porous now, everybody is in a border state and border city. >> sandra: got it. thank you, keep us posted. >> john: authorities in sunny isles beach, florida, investigating after a group of migrants landed on the shore this morning. unmarked boat dropped off the boat of about 20 migrants just off the town's coast with many of them running toward resort

buildings in the area. they have aprehenned four chinese migrants in connection with the incident, which is now being classifieds as a maritime smuggling event. >> sandra: this is a fox news alert, we are getting brand-new information and word of a man attacking workers at a district office of virginia democratic congressman jerry conley. chad pergram is on the breaking details for us. what are we learning now? obviously a very scary incident, chad. >> this is fragmentary information we have right now, i just got off the telephone with jerry conley, he was at the bedside at the hospital in fairfax just outside of washington, d.c. of one of the aides attacked. there was a man who came into his district office in suburban washington, d.c. earlier today, asked for the congressman, he was not there, and he then, according to the congressman,

proceeded to attack the two aides. he had a baseball bat, we do not know if he attacked the aides with the baseball bat. what they have done the past couple of years, an increase in threats against members of congress and even aides, the u.s. capitol police and sergeant of arms have beefed up security at district offices, asked them to work with local police, and congressman conley, he was the chairman of the fairfax county board of supervisors for five years before being elected to congress, so he understands this pretty well. u.s. capitol police will go involved but looks like fairfax county, the local jurisdiction just outside of washington, d.c. one of the biggest counties will be taking the lead. we are told that these injuries to the two aides are nonthreatening. >> sandra: thank you for the update on that, we will continue to follow it. >> john: your former hometown, chicago, has a brand-new mayor. brandon johnson sworn in just

hours ago and already getting tough reviews. >> do you have confidence in his ability to do better than lori lightfoot? >> no, it doesn't seem like he's going to enforce any type of policies or anything to prevent violence or help the communities. >> sandra: oh, he is starting in that new role after a bloody mother's day weekend in that city. more than two dozen people shot. we are live on the ground in the windy city. >> john: plus the mainstream media downplaying house republicans bombshell news conference exposing millions of dollars flowing into biden family bank accounts. jonathan turley says despite mounting evidence there is some there there, he is doubtful that media coverage will follow. professor turley is up next. you want to do is spend cashu g just to see if you qualify for a home loan. yet, some lenders charge you hundreds of dollars in upfront fees just to apply.

>> john: as crime plagues the nation's capital right here, d.c. mayor is pushing a bill that would increase penalties for violent crimes and give courts more chances to hold suspects in jail. >> we proudly, of course, in our city, believe in second chances but we also believe in accountability. what this law says is it gives the judges more tools and more discretion to look at all of the facts when making a decision about detention before trial. >> john: the city council passed a measure to reduce penalties for certain crimes. president biden broke with his party on the issue earlier this year. bowser plans to introduce the bill tomorrow and hopes to have it passed by the end of the

summer. sandra. >> sandra: ok, john. progressive brandon johnson was sworn in as the 57th mayor of the city of chicago today. inauguration follows another brutal weekend, seven people were killed, including five teenagers. did johnson address the rising crime in his inaugural address, mike? >> he certainly did, but it's really remarkable, voters threw out progressive mayor lori lightfoot, the mayor promised to take the movement around the united states. he raised his hand and the oath of office, arguably the most aggressive to sit at the mayor's desk in decades. problems are front and center. 26 people were shot in chicago, nine murdered, eight by gunfire, one was stabbed and video emerged of a group of gunmen pouring out of a car and robbing

a man in the van. johnson has no experience in city politics, he was a teacher and organizer for the powerful teachers' union. a message of racial justice and taxing the rich put johnson over the rich. he had been supportive of the defund the police move but now promises to add 200 detectives. >> we don't want chicago that has been overwhelmed by the trauma and violence and despair that our residents felt no hope, or no choice but to leave. >> the other crisis bearing down on johnson is immigration. chicago has received 8,000 migrants during the border crisis, mayor lightfoot claimed there are no resources or facilities to house the migrants

so many are sleeping in police from across the city, which comes with lice and chickenpox outbreaks. and terry duffy, the ceo of the chicago mercantile exchange, says if johnson moves forward with tax plans they will move out of chicago all together. >> sandra: remarkable to see terry duffy talking about that in the new podcast, referencing the new mayor squeezing businesses and making that the priority rather than tackling the rising crime rate. reading from him, mr. johnson has no authority to impose a transaction tax on my business and coming on to him for tackling business rather than the crime epidemic in that city, mike. >> and it's remarkable. and ken griffin and the citadel group pulled out and other groups as well, because you have frankly as the saying goes, come

for the gunfire, stay for the taxes. things are tough for businesses here in chicago, and leaders are pulling out. >> sandra: just brutal to see it happening, a city you and i both know so well. thank you. john, not just citadel, it's tyson, caterpillar, boeing relocating, and cme group even hinting they could walk away if the new mayor does not heed warnings the firm is worth estimated $66 billion, and that city cannot take another loss like that. it needs that tax revenue. >> john: the words doom loop come to minds with what's happening as the economic base gets hollowed out. the city can't survive if it loses the economic base. hope it doesn't happen. mainstream media coming under fire after virtually ignoring bombshell allegations of the house panel of the biden family foreign business dealings. in the latest op-ed for "the

hill, jonathan turley says they are blacking out the scandal for the administration. and the charge of running cover for the administration, it's a strong one. what leads you to believe that? >> it is strong, and it's not one i make lightly. i've been a columnist and legal analyst on television for almost three decades. but i've never seen anything like what we are witnessing. no matter how you feel about the bidens, no matter how you feel about our political divisions, what the republicans released last week was breathtaking. they released a labyrinth of llcs and accounts that seem to have been used to hide a money trail, and at least $10 million is tracked on the trail and the suggestion is that they went to a variety of bidens, including grandchildren. now, that alone should be enough to trigger a considerable media

interest, anyone who has any remaining interest in corruption. but the result was really astonishing. it was not live on msnbc or cnn and all the articles came out with the absurd titles, things like "republicans admit they don't have direct evidence against president biden," really? i mean, they just implicated all the family members around the president. the idea of influence peddling is that it goes to family members. otherwise if it goes directly, it's a bribe. and if you've been in this town long enough, influence peddling is the favorite form of corruption. >> john: and you know bribes are bad things and best avoided whenever possible. and what you wrote in "the hill," the "new york times" coverage, you wrote, ran a peace

"house republican report finds no evidence of wrongdoing by president biden." and the fact the times may be trying for another pulitzer prize. they leavesly won a pulitzer for the debunked russia collusion story. and look at how they went after president trump, and poo-pooing anything about president biden, you have to wonder if comer had been a democrat, and all the names that he was talking about receiving money last week in his news conference were the name trump instead of biden, might the coverage just be slightly different? >> no, it's really other worldly. the "new york times" got a pulitzer for a story that was debunked, a story put into the media by the clinton campaign, based on a dossier funded by the clinton campaign. "the new york post" revealed what turned out to be a true story, the hunter biden and they will not get the pulitzer.

what point do we have a de facto state media. it has all the elements, all the practices that you see with a state media. the only difference is this is by consent rather than coercion, and in some ways it's a blind spot in the constitution. the framers tried to avoid what was the threat then, which is direct government control of the media, but recently we found out you don't need that direct control if all the media does it by consent. >> john: i want to make one quick point before we leave. this was the white house response to comer's news conference last week. oddly, he has been promising failing to deliver for weeks raising questions about his shoot first, figure out later event, an evidence free politically motivated investigation. to your point, comer has showed millions has flowed through foreign sources to the biden

family, and throwing charges like this, that comer is, at some point you have to deliver the goods. >> well, the thing is what they have delivered, they have delivered a considerable amount of evidence of how this money got to the biden family. the question is why was the money sent there? and they also tied up an interesting combination of facts, which is biden going to romania, ukraine to talk about corruption and then money going to the biden family after the visits. >> john: a lot you can extrapolate from that, but when you are talking about the president, helpful to have proof. professor turley, always good to catch up with you. >> thank you, john. >> a lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes 33% of the emissions of the world. how critical we get this right because lives depend on it. >> sandra: blaming the farmers, john kerry there. now they are fighting back

against president biden's green agenda, says we cannot slow emissions without agricultural commission. but farm bureau says the numbers are not adding up. jeff flock is live in long valley, new jersey. you and i have talked to the farmers for years. what are they telling you about this? >> well, as you know, sandra, they don't have much to say. usually they are busy planting or harvesting, what you see here now on the family farm in long valley, new jersey. but yeah, secretary kerry has gotten their attention on this one, you just heard what he had to say and i've got a fourth generation family farmer with me right now as we follow planters along here. nicole ortmok, you heard what he said. are you not doing everything you can to be as green as you can be and to fight global warming? you are not a global warming

denier, right? >> absolutely, we are doing everything we can. environmental sustainability is our top priority as farmers. we make a living off the land and how we feed our families and feed america. >> take a look at the numbers, the secretary said about a third, 34% or so of the world's greenhouse gasses come from agriculture. if you look just at the u.s., though, that's only about 10%. so, you are kind of really already doing your share. i'm not sure what he wants to regulate, maybe turn the tractor into an electric tractor. is that possible? >> so the concern i have with electric tractors is if the batteries will be able to hold a charge, if it will be able to handle the horse power necessary. we are working from sun up to sundown on the farms and stopping to charge something is not economical for us at this point. >> we have a picture of an electric tractor, a prototype, though, that has not sold you yet. >> yeah, no, i think we need to see if it's going to help us to

keep our food affordable and be efficient before we can commit to that. >> sandra, you have spent a lot of time talking to farmers and so have i, and they have a vested interest on the land we sit on, i think they are pretty good stewards of it, a lot of people think so. >> sandra: interesting interview, jeff, and farmers end of day are practical people, right, she's saying we are not opposing any of this, we just want them to innovate. >> they are not climate deniers. >> sandra: they want it to be affordable and to work, conducive to doing their jobs. thank you so much. john. >> john: to think they used to call it green acres. push to ban stock trading and immediate families is gaining

new traction and capitol hill and stretching across party lines. aishah hasnie live on capitol hill with the latest on this. aishah. >> aishah: not just on the hill but off the hill, i've been talking to americans all day and they tell me this is a no-brainer. >> they are privy to information and what's being planned. >> what do you think? >> i agree, they shouldn't be coming in, you know, trying to get rich and enrich themselves. >> aishah: a growing number of lawmakers feel the same way. 21 members, from the far left aoc all the way to matt rosendale to the right, sent a letter to the house administration committee basically demanding the committee mark up any one of the six different bills out there on stock trading before the august recess hits. so the recent banking crisis really put a spotlight on this, john. last month it was widely reported that a representative, a democrat, sold thousands in silicon valley bank shares right before regulators closed the

bank. also, representative from new york bought stocks in new york community bank corp bought. and they say they were listening to their financial advisers or spouses, but a growing number say enough is enough. >> the important thing is that we move something, we tell the american people we care, we recognize the issue of appearance of impropriety. >> aishah: and representative ken buck there says he will be talking with speaker kevin mccarthy to see if they can get this on the floor for a vote again this session. john. >> john: we know you will keep watching it for us. thank you, aishah. sandra. >> sandra: thank you. america's personal debt levels, topping $17 trillion, but a

number that did not change at all, credit card debt stayed flat during the first quarter of the year. it's a time americans usually pay off holiday expenses but inflation and high interest rates have made it impossible to bring down the balance. co-host, taylor riggs and brian brenberg. i know you talk about this on the show all the time and we should care deeply what we see is happening. what is the big warning people are not able to bring down household debt. >> we call the top of the show debt crisis in america, and the debt ceiling, the personal credit cards, the personal loans that you have. when you think about the rising interest rate environment, if you are already sort of starting to feel unmanageable with the balances, the interest rate, and we talk about the compounding effect of interest rate. credit card debt interest rates are what, 17, maybe 19%. so if you are struggling to pay off some of your immediate debt,

don't -- and now you are going to pay interest on the interest. so that's sort of the big picture problem when you talk about the trillion dollar numbers. >> put it this way. if you have 5k in credit card debt, to pay that off at today's rates, spend 7,000 on interest. so when you think about that debt, the worst kind of debt you can have. rates are so high and the longer you take to pay it off the more you pay in total. >> sandra: and back to january 2021, when credit card debt was at $746 billion, it's now $986 billion, more than $200 billion gain there, according to the federal reserve. at the same time, according to bankrate, the average credit card rates are at all time highs. so we are taking on more of that debt and the rates are going up. and that really exacerbates a bad situation. >> rates used to be 0%, money was free. fed, federal reserve, fiscal stimulus, handing out money for free and eventually the buck

comes due. learning it on the federal level with the debt ceiling and the personal level as well, when you raise interest rates, money is no longer free and someone has to pay for that so we are collectively paying for that credit card debt as well. >> the gap between when people were paying down debt and now it's up, that was the big inflation surge, people trying to keep up with prices and they could do it out of savings for a while, and then they had to start putting it on the card. so borrowing to just keep up right now. >> sandra: so important we get those inflation levels down. >> and they are not down low enough yet, even at 5% on top of last year's increases, that's a lot of money. >> sandra: the debt ceiling talks, talking about implementing more and more spending. transition to chicago, it's something to see what's happening there, as far as businesses are concerned. and fleeing of the big businesses. the that city is so dependent on for their revenues. this is the new mayor, as of just a couple hours ago, sworn

in, brandon johnson, talking about first the migrant problem in that city. >> we don't want our story to be told that we were unable to house the unhoused. or provide safe harbor for those who are seeking refuge here, there is enough room for anyone in the city of chicago. whether you are speaking asylum or looking for a fully funded neighborhood. >> sandra: because there's enough room for everybody in the city. lori lightfoot declared a state of emergency said we cannot handle anymore. they have filled up the police stations with the migrants sleeping overnight, some coming in ill, needing medical treatment, a city with a spike in crime and migrant crisis but he's saying all are still welcome. businesses like the cme group reporting on the program today raising the red flag saying we will leave if they don't heed our warnings. >> businesses are looking 5, 10

years into the future and saying will we be able to operate here. >> sandra: remember these days, these days -- you think about -- you think about all these folks that used to occupy the loop, right. going to lunch, walking to the trains. the loop is empty. you don't have the workers anymore and what's left of that company, $66 billion company, mind you, they are threatening to leave now. and what's left in that city if you've got all the people and businesses leaving? >> if the businesses leave. we talk about people leaving. that's a small chunk of change compared to businesses. those big businesses are the big taxpayers. so once the businesses leave it's hard to bring them back. it's tyson, citadel, sort of just closed up shop and walked away. boeing. you can't get those businesses back. >> even getting them back, what about new business, starting a business. is this an entrepreneurial environment? >> next time just get a picture of me. you remember those days? those people are not in loop

anymore and don't have the strength and safety in numbers. >> beyond that -- >> these are old pictures. >> the fact is, chicago is losing people, they are losing businesses, and they are losing the what you need to bring it back. you have to have entrepreneurs, they don't stick around for guys who say we are going to take care of anybody who walks into the city. entrepreneurs are smart, they are too smart for this. >> sandra: they left because of elec electronic trading, those guys. but the city has dwindled in numbers, it's a huge problem. john. >> john: sandra, troubling new research suggesting that marijuana use could be linked to a higher risk of schizophrenia in young men. we'll speak with a mother who lost her son to suicide. she says years of heavy cannabis use is to blame. >> sandra: and it's asian-american and pacific islander heritage month, and fox news is paying tribute, at the

life of trail blazing actress anna may wong. >> anna may wong, first asian-american movie staff appearing in classics like "shanghai express," born in los angeles in 1905, wong grew up working at her family's laundromat, acting at 14 and 1922 her first lead role in a silent film "the toll of the sea," facing discrimination in hollywood, she founded her own production company and went on to become the first asian-american to lead a u.s. tv show. wong, whose family was from china, also raised money for chinese refugees during world war ii. she died in 1961. wong continues to be honored for breaking barriers in film. in 2022, she became the first asian-american on u.s. currency.

he started using marijuana when he was 14 years old and became psychotic. he died five years after he first started using marijuana. >> john: colorado mom laura stack describing what happened to her son after her home state legalized marijuana. a new study finding that the young people using the drug now at an all-time high, this is particularly troubling because new research recently published suggests heavy use of marijuana is linked to a higher risk of schizophrenia, especially in young men. randi bacuss died by suicide in 2021. his parents say heavy marijuana use triggered a mental breakdown. and our prayers are with you for this tragic loss. no parent should ever have to bury a child. but there study published in the nih drives home what a lot of people truly believe, that heavy marijuana use can lead to psychosis and schizophrenia.

the nhi study found 30% of cases of schizophrenia from 18 to 30-year-olds is attributed to marijuana use. what was the situation with your son randy? >> our son randy started using marijuana when he was 15, when we first knew he was using and he quickly had a cannabis youth disorder, we sent him to wilderness therapy and moved to colorado, and then he used regularly, he believed it assisted him with anxiety and depression, which i did not have until he started using marijuana and then when he turned 21 his use really increased and he had episodes of paranoia and delusions and then had a full psychotic break in march prior to taking his life in july.

>> john: so what were those psychotic episodes like? what would happen to him? >> you know, unfortunately it was -- he knew that he would manage and function fairly well in life but he was paranoid and thought his roommates were out to get him, he thought that people at work were out to get him, he would quit a job quickly, accused one of his employers are being in the mob, when he had a full blown attack in march of 2021 he called us and said the mob was coming after him, that they were coming after us, and he just was out of sorts. when he went to denver health, we had a friend there with him and he was hearing music, he would say do you hear the music, and the gal that was there with him said no, there is no music. i mean, so he obviously was hearing things that didn't exist. >> john: was there any -- >> and he believed that -- i was going to say he believed that, you know, people were tracking his phone and his computer as well. >> john: were there ever any

indications earlier in his life that maybe there was some sort of latent mental disorder that was there that was triggered by the pot or did this just come out of nowhere? >> no. no, you know, randy had adhd and we had him assessed four times between the ages of, say, 6 to 17, and it was always just that he had adhd, was mildly dyslexic, he had high verbal acuity and written acuity, he had great memorization skills. so, no, there was no indication of anything. >> john: wow. it looked like on july 17, 2021, that you and your husband might have a reason to hope because he sent you two text messages back-to-back and i know it's tough to hear again but i think it's very important for folks at home, 1:26 in the morning, said i'm quitting weed for good and want to surround myself with healthy and happy people. this has been too much for me, and for you guys. 45 minutes later at 2:09 another

text saying i love you and i'm sorry for everything. i love dad and the same to him. i wish i would have been a better person. that was his good-bye note. he took his own life not long after that. as pot is legalized in so many states across the nation and held up as supporters as oh this is a benign drug, what would you say? >> i would say it is not benign. it's different drug than it used to be. potencies are much greater, scientific facts, scientific studies. our son unfortunately is not alone. he's one of many who are suffering psychosis. i've been -- every week, i would say 2 to 3 parents reach out to me telling me their child is suffering, either addiction or psychosis. so it is not benign. it's unsafe, especially for that developing brain. >> john: as we heard at the

beginning of this, heather, from laura stack, you are not alone. in fact, you and a group of moms are trying to raise awareness about the dangers of marijuana among a subset of individuals who use it heavily. what is your message to the parents of children who may be in the same boat as your son was? >> my message would be that you know, it's a very lonely place to be but there are resources out there, there's johnny's ambassadors, gave me a ton of knowledge and information that i wish i would have had when our son was going through his struggles and we have started our own organization called be extraordinary, be you, in honor of our son as well. it's to educate yourselves. there are plenty of scientific studies out there. parents need to know, teachers, doctors, doctors need to treat this as another thing they produce at pediatric visits to protect your child's brain. we just need to educate ourselves that today's pot is much different than it used to be. >> john: maybe there are some

children out there who can be saved as a result of this. again, our prayers are with you and your family for your loss but we thank you for coming on. appreciate it. >> thank you, john. i appreciate the time. >> john: thank you. sandra. >> sandra: our best to her and her family. meanwhile, an update from fairfax city police on the update with rep connolly's office, they were attacked, they were hiding, terrified. the update. >> did he swing the bat -- >> wooden bat or metal bat? >> it appears to be a metal bat. >> did he take any swipes is he officers, did he cooperate with them? >> that i'm not sure of. >> you have this pretty safe city, a congressman's district office. and as a police sergeant, how concerning is it this happened in your town, it's a democracy, it's a congressman's office.

>> it is very concerning and it's quite frankly scary that someone can just walk up to an office, holding a baseball bat and just start swinging at innocent victims. >> do you know -- have you been aware of stepped up threats? the capitol police talk about additional threats on members of congress. has congressman connolly's office made you aware of any threats? >> that i'm not aware of. >> as far as you know, it came as a complete surprise. >> yes, yes, this was unexpected. >> you talked a little bit about the potential charges here. can you talk about the potential charges? >> the subject is in custody. we will be obtaining charges for him and he will be taken to the fairfax county adult detention center. >> would you mind walking us through when you arrived, including what witnesses told

you, what you heard, giving us a play-by-play, if you don't mind. >> sure, i don't have too much, he did arrive here in a vehicle and he walked to the office and began swinging the bat. >> sandra: a horrific situation where the suspect showed up with a bat at rep connolly's office there, police on the scene almost immediately, they are already investigating the assault of these two staff members. the victims we are told are treated for non-life-threatening injuries and as you just heard, the suspect is in police custody. we await any word on charges but definitely a very scary situation. we await another update on that ongoing situation and the condition of those victims soon. meanwhile, the texas house just gave final approval to a bill that would allow chaplains without state certification to work inside public schools. it's just one in a series of religious measures that critics say raises concerns about the

separation of church and state. but supporters of these bills say public schools are in disarray and could benefit from a spiritual presence. laura green is live on the story for us. >> you know, texas is upping the ante on faith in public schools with these two bills, meant to turn the tide on rising crime, and some call woke indoctrination. lawmakers passing a bill allowing chaplains without state certification, and supporters say the rise in shootings and other things make it necessary to seek help from an higher calling. >> the violence we are seeing all over especially in schools, we need every bit of help we can get and certainly address the spiritual nature of some of the conflicts we are seeing right now, to encourage students to believe in a god to whom we are accountable. >> texas legislators are also considering a bill requiring the

ten commandments displayed in every classroom. >> we are opposed to the bill because of serious concerns. >> more than 40 years, the supreme court ruled against a similar law, stone versus graham, in kentucky, saying it violated the clause in the first amendment. and because of the joe kennedy case last year that opened up a legal pathway for other bills like this. so you are probably going to see more of this. the chaplain bill is in conference and the ten commandments bills is in committee. >> sandra: interesting debate over that. nice to see you. thank you. john, that does it for us. another sign it's going to be a jam-packed two hours every day as we kick off a new week. >> john: and let's not forget the debt ceiling deadline continues to loom. kevin mccarthy saying a short time ago that the white house does not seem to be too interested in negotiations, so both sides are dug in, both sides want what they want, they

have not been able to get rid of the daylight between them. so, we'll be following that in the week ahead as well. >> sandra: and the president confirmed the meeting is still on tomorrow. watch for that. >> john: will there be anything to meet about, that's the questionroberts. "the story" with martha starts right now. >> martha: good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. this is "the story" right now. judge jeanine pirro joins us in just a moment with a preview of her exclusive interview with the attorney for the marine veteran that is now facing criminal charges in the death of a man on the subway in new york city. this is turning into a huge case and she will have the first interview with one of his attorneys as the legal defense fund for him has piled up a couple of million dollars already. first, we will go live to our southern border where agents
