living here in new york city, he is a scholar, one of the greatest, they call him a modern day c.s. lewis and we told him in our hearts and he wrote a book on death and found out shortly after that he had this diagnosis, and he said most particularly for me as a christian, jesus' costly love, debt and resurrection is not just something i believed in but a hope that sustained me all day. that was in "the atlantic." we remember you today, pastor tim keller. "america reports" now. >> john: kayleigh, thank you. begin with two breaking stories as the pause button is hit on debt ceiling talks in washington and president biden appears to shift his position on the use of f-16s in the war in ukraine. i'm john roberts in washington, and sandra, you are not here anymore. >> sandra: i miss you, john. we are going to coast into the weekend, scrap that idea, a lot of breaking news happening this hour. i'm sandra smith in new york. great to see you, this is "america reports." fox news is learning debt talks

have hit a snag over cuts to discretionary spending and the setback is dashing hopes of a potential deal by the weekend. >> john: meanwhile, president biden is backing a joint effort with allies to train ukrainian pilots to fly f-16s. lindsey graham on what that could mean for the war in ukraine and we'll ask him about the impact of the stalled debt talks. >> sandra: chad pergram is live on capitol hill, and peter doocy is on the ground in japan with the president. is the u.s. sending jets or just training the pilots? what are we hearing here? >> >> for now, it's training in europe. and the training over the coming months, coalition of countries participating in the effort will decide when to actually provide jets, how many we will provide and who will provide them, it does represent a softening of president biden's positioning softening, earlier this year

could be summarized with just one word. he said no, that seems to be possibly changing on the ground here in hiroshima, president biden tour add peace park near the spot where the nuclear bomb attended in 1945, senior officials want to be crystal clear about the purpose of the trip. not to say sorry for dropping a nuclear weapon. >> there was no apology by the president, that wasn't the focus. focus was paying respects and more to the point, the purpose here in hiroshima is the future. >> especially the future in ukraine with the jets announcement and also the tightening of loopholes of sanctions that russians have apparently been using to evade

sanctions to pay for their war effort in ukraine. we don't think president biden has been spending a ton of time on the ground, staying up through the night to engage in live talks with his negotiators about the debt limit, and we think that because we were told this morning that president biden, after being down for a couple hours, requested and received a briefing from his negotiators. back to you. >> sandra: peter doocy live on the ground, brand-new reaction when senator lindsey graham joins us in a moment. >> john: the stalled debt talks, house speaker kevin mccarthy and president biden have been trying to strike a deal before the first of june, the latest development throwing a wrench into the plans. chad pergram is live on capitol hill, when everything was looking rosy, chad -- >> i think we'll have a lot of back and forth here, absolutely. john, one gop source says there is too much daylight between the sides, that's why there is a suspension of the talks, fox has

told the discussions did not seem to go anywhere, conservatives in the house only want the house passed bill. >> we've got to get moving for the white house -- yeah, we are going to pause. >> the dispute stems from steep cuts demanded by the gop and the push by democrats to reduce defense spending. republicans want to increase defense money for the pentagon, why some liberals are advocating the use of the 14th amendment. >> it's not an option, it's a requirement and it has not been raised before because no congress has ever tried to push the president to this point of essentially committing an act of legislative extortion saying if you don't accept our legislative agenda, then we are not going to allow you to pay the debts of the country. but it's not up to congress. the constitution says the validity of the public debt

shall not be questioned. >> word of the impasse forced markets to cause up gains from earlier. there is tension on wall street as the debt ceiling looms. >> the big issue is if the train starts heading down the tracks, that's going to be big trouble. so far that can change in a nano second, markets are very emotional, consumer is, and just that in the savings rates have plunged and credit card use has skyrocketed to a record. >> the chasm and the math to get the votes is yawning, the gop must rely on some democratic votes, even if they cut a deal now, it would be hard to pass a bill before early june. that is the deadline. john. >> john: chad pergram on capitol hill with the latest there. thank you. >> sandra: bring in south carolina republican senator lindsey graham, thank you so much for joining us here in new york city studio, good to have you here. breaking news out of washington, get to that in moment.

latest development out of the g7 summit, appears to be a major reversal from president biden on the issue. >> the f-16s? they have been needing them over a year, biden administration finally gave in, our allies and the congress were going to kick the heck out of them. when it comes to ukraine, biden has been playing follow the leader. we had to make him do tanks, long range artillery, they want to make sure they don't lose, but not into winning. jets should have come over last year, wasted an entire year. the ukrainian pilots are able to master the f-16 in four months, not 12, highly motivated. biden administration, it's like pulling teeth to get them to be all in for winning in ukraine. >> john: senator, come back to what's going on on capitol hill,

apparently talks have paused, and bernie sanders saying well the president should use the 14th amendment to raise the debt ceiling if he can't get anywhere with mccarthy. here is what the 14th amendment said, validity of the public debt of the united states authorized by law including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties, for services and suppressing insurrection or rebellion shall not be questioned, would seem to kind of obscure way give the president some sort of authority but even janet yellen says it would be legally questionable to pull that trigger. what do you say about this drive by sanders and others? >> we have never done it before. why do they want to do it, give biden this power which i think is very sketchy at best so they don't have to negotiate with republicans to control the debt. they don't want people on welfare to work. if you are able-bodied, i want you to work.

they want the unspent money on covid to be spent on something else. i want to turn it back into the taxpayer. they don't want permitting reform. at the end of the day, they are trying to avoid having to deal with kevin mccarthy by using a constitutional mechanism that's very dubious. the problem is kevin mccarthy is not going to give in, the senate republicans are not going to pass a debt ceiling increase without some reforms. seven of the last ten times we raised the debt ceiling we had measures attached to it. we are not going to give on this. here is what will happen to wall street, calm down. we will raise the debt ceiling but also going to address permitting reform, we are going to try to have work requirements to make sure that people are working when they are receiving public assistance where they can, and we are going to do some other things to save money. that is not negotiable and the public is with us. >> sandra: these are the dem senators pushing for biden to use the 14th, put them up on the

screen for folks, and this is some of those -- some of the democrats in their own words pushing for it. listen. >> using the 14th amendment would allow the united states to continue to pay its bills on time. >> the president should exercise his authority under the 14th amendment. >> the president has a mechanism to push back. he has the 14th amendment. >> this is the whole reason why the 14th amendment exists. >> we need to be prepared to be using it. again, remember, say that again. >> sandra: obviously a clear push happening there. >> yeah, a bunch of liberals don't want to shrink the government, they don't want to make people work who can, they don't want permitting reforms, so we'll have more energy independence. if you left it up to these people, no end of spending, crush the fossil fuel industry and we are not going to let that happen. they never suggested that trump could use the 14th amendment to raise the debt ceiling.

pelosi and schumer required bush and others at times to do things liberals wanted to raise the debt ceiling. seven of the last ten times we have raised with reforms. kevin mccarthy has done a hell of a job with a package that would lead us to begin to get us out of debt. the senate republicans not going to give votes to democrats. raise the debt ceiling, but save some money, permitting reform and put people to work who can work. >> sandra: clock is ticking, when does it happen? >> before the markets get disrupted, i'm not sure about june 1st, but we are not going to default on the debt but not let bernie sanders and other people raise the debt ceiling without addressing the problems america has. we have $30 trillion plus of debt. now is the time to do something about it. we are not going to let the liberal democrats abuse the constitution. it hasn't happen before and it's not going to happen.

>> john: health of some of your colleagues in the senate, particularly after the return of feinstein, congresswoman katie porter vying for her seat says there should be an invalidity process where if a member of congress is deemed to be, you know, an invalid, that person can be removed or temporarily replaced. also talking about john fetterman, more questions of his health after his office appeared to release some doctor transcripts of things he said. his office said in questioning a silicon valley bank executive, quote read fetterman said shouldn't you have a working requirement after we bail out your bank, republicans seem to be more preoccupied with snap requirements for hungry people than protecting the banks. here did what he said, shouldn't you have a working requirement after we sale your bank, billions of your bank,

preoccupied when then snap requirements for works for hungry people but not about protecting the tax papers, you know, that will bail them out of whatever does about a bank to crash him. we do know he has auditory processing problems after a stroke, but does that give you cause for concern that his office is out there doctoring what he says? >> so i've known diane feinstein for a long time, she's definitely hurting, and she got elected and she'll decide to step down, and if she can't serve california will replace her. i'm not going to question the abilities of colleagues elected like i did, but we have a process that stood the test of time. my predecessor lived to be 100, we have been doing it the same way for a long time and i wish

them both well, but i wish there was a test of common sense and maybe half of us would be kicked out because it seems to me stupid to have a broken border and spend money like there's no tomorrow, about you that's not going to happen either. >> sandra: you told the markets to stay calm, and look what happened. the dow was down more a few seconds ago. >> watch fox, quit watching cnbc, watch fox. >> sandra: come back to new york any time. nice to have him here for a change, john. >> john: and i would have been happy. if i'd known, i would have loaned him a tie. >> nothing personal, john. >> sandra: house republicans meanwhile calling out the nih for backing a transgender study on children as young as 12 years old. that led to the deaths of two people. why was that study scrapped? we'll ask dr. marc siegel when he joins us.

>> john: and first it was hotels, then gyms, and now rikers island? new york city may be looking to house migrants at the infamous jail as they run out of space in the city. is that an answer to the crisis? >> no information whatsoever, what kind of security, who is going to be here, who is not going to be here. what kind of people are we getting. knowing that i can be free to do the things that i love to do. i hope when i retire someday, they say, that guy made this place a special place to come to school and gave as much as he could to help the community. life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that is scientifically designed to help manage your blood sugar.

>> sandra: republican lawmakers are demanding answers in the wake of an alarming taxpayer funded study on transgender youth, most of them under the age of 18. the study leading to two suicides but it was not stopped. dr. marc siegel is standing by with his analysis of that. but first, alexandria hoff is

live in washington. how many children were involved in the study? >> sandra, to start 315 young people involved in this. 240 were minors and some as young as 12 years old. recruited from gender care clinics in four cities where they were already intent on seeking treatment. the study was titled psycho social functioning in transgender youth after two years on hormones. published earlier this year with researchers concluding optimistically that hormone treatment improved the mental well-being of trans youth. gop legislatures are raising grave concerns about the claim considering the study, two study subjects took their own lives during the course of this, and 11 reported continued suicidal ideation, six dropped out of the study all together. 15 house and senate republicans are demanding accountability writing it is alarming that vulnerable young people died by suicide while participating in a taxpayer funded study that will almost certainly inflict devastating physical harm on

those who participated. north carolina senator ted bunt led his signature to the letter and offered this. >> the researchers are in search of an agenda, and justifying the agenda, not about the children's safety as we have seen from the suicides here. >> food and drug administration has not approved hormone therapy or puberty blockers for gender care but off label use has skyrocketed with limited research into health impacts. regarding children involved in studies as a whole, the fda provided fox news this statement, the best way to provide children with safe and effective treatment options is by including them in clinical research and providing additional safeguards to protect them during clinical trials. nih did not respond back to request for comment. young people who identify as transgender are higher risk for suicidal ideation but leads to another aspect, there was no

control group, no other group to compare it to. >> sandra: thank you, live in washington. >> john: dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine, a perspective study, people were enrolled to receive either testosterone or -- 11 had suicidal ideation and doc, the question why wasn't the study stopped after the deaths? >> it should have been, john. in my opinion and always if there is an adverse outcome like that, a study would be stopped. i don't understand why they would conclude positive results, go to press and not stop the study immediately especially when you consider a point alexandria made, did you know that 30%, two prior studies, 30% of those with gender issues,

minors, attempted suicide. going in a high risk group. going in a possibility someone will commit or attempt suicide, it's a very, very difficult group to study. no control group as she said, not properly done research and they are drawing hasty conclusions. really disturbing that the trial wasn't stopped, really disturbing that controls wouldn't be in place to keep this exact thing from happening. >> sandra: we should all have major concerns. these are taxpayer funded studies. why is there not oversight of this? >> well, you know, they have three different centers involved, chicago, university of chicago, university of california san francisco, here on the east coast, harvard, so boston children's, so i think it's hard to get an overall view but the nih is not involved enough in this and not involved in another issue, by the way, massive amount of research have shown, sandra, that when you

transition to anything in life from something else it increases anxiety and depression short-term. even if studies show long-term a majority might feel more comfortable, the actual process of transitioning can provoke an event like this and a very dangerous time. >> john: as a result of what happened in this study a couple of republicans have written a letter to the acting director of the national institute of health looking for answers and they say they suggest there was an agenda, notably the four clinics and some of the researchers who conducted the experiment are outspoken advocates for gender transitions on children. in a video it later removed, boston hospital, claimed children can know their gender identity from the womb. so, two questions here, doc. was there an agenda here, and what about this claim that a child can know their gender identity "from the womb?"

>> well, i can't -- i didn't interview the people -- i would be concerned about an agenda, number one, i would be. in terms of knowing your gender identity from the womb, that can change back and forth multiple times before puberty and after and we have interviewed people that did have gender reassignment or so far as mastectomy that regretted it afterwards. clearly it's a fluid situation and to announce same gender, you know, gender identity since birth is suspicious for a political agenda because again, it can change back and forth. so i'm concerned about that. i'm -- the question about whether there was enough mental health support here is huge. >> sandra: that's a big point. this is just some of what we have heard from these trans children on this issue, doctor. listen to this. >> on social media i was seeing a lot of like young adult women posting pictures of themselves, provocative, my thoughts drifted towards maybe i'm not a girl.

>> one of those things you have to weigh the risks and for me i was willing to die on the operating table than continue to live a life that wasn't mine. >> dealing with some of the like more underlying issues in-depth would have definitely been a better place to start. >> sandra: why is the science not being followed and why are these children's voices not being heard, doctor? >> well, i think children's voices need to be heard and i think here is another point about, john's point about a political agenda. how many children or teens in this situation are aware of the long-term effects of puberty blockers, a sterility factor, bone growth involved, do though know the actual medical risks. i feel compassion here. that's how i look at it. these are people i want to treat but i treat people, transgender patients who are young adults and still have not decided what to do, and i make sure i involve the right people and make sure i

involve mental health personnel. the idea of doing it, this kind of intervention on teens, on children, deeply disturbs me. i'm dealing with it with adults and the answers are not always clear. >> john: doc, always good to get your take on things. you have a tremendous amount of experience in all these things we talk about. thank you. >> sandra: thank you, dr. siegel. >> great to talk to you guys. thanks a lot. >> sandra: hunter biden's legal woes catching up to him. break it down with miranda devine. >> john: the field of the gop candidates is growing, and a new political ad sparking a new contender. >> the stakes are high, and the consequences couldn't be greater.

ring for 2024, south carolina senator tim scott officially entered the race this morning. and florida governor ron desantis is expected to announce his bid next week. but there is another candidate fueling campaign speculation. mark meredith is live in washington for us. mark, seems like all of a sudden everybody is talking about 2024 -- i don't know if that's fair, we have been talking about it a while, it's just coming up on us a lot faster now. >> good afternoon to you. florida governor ron desantis will generate a lot of buzz when he announces his campaign next week, but not the only one trying to win over voters. tim scott who launched an exploratory committee in april, he filed his official campaign paperwork with the fec and launch the bid on monday. speaking in north charleston and then iowa and new hampshire. senator scott said he'll be excited to be back on the road

talking to iowans and granite staters, and leadership for the conservative values that make our nation exceptional. virginia governor glenn youngkin posted a video which looked so much like a campaign ad. tied to a speech that youngkin gave at the reagan presidential library earlier this month. take a look. sorry about that, i promise the video does exist and fuels a lot of speculation about what the governor would like to do going forward, but of course he has said in the past he has no plans to look forward to another race. he's still in his first term as governor, he cannot run for a second term in virginia because of the law. so looking to see whether or not the video fuels further speculation. former president trump continues to attack florida governor ron

desantis, slamming desantis overnight over the latest fallout with disney after they pulled out a huge investment in florida because of the ongoing political fight. sandra, earlier desantis was in new hampshire making multiple stops. asked about the feud with disney and says 0 chance he plans to back down. sandra. >> sandra: not your fault, mark, one of those friday afternoon, electronics broke or something for a few minutes. we'll get it back up. >> no worries. any time. >> john: apparently we have it back, but i look at this monitor over here on the camera, we are both upside down. >> sandra: oh. >> john: don't know what's going on there. >> sandra: i just flipped upside down, john. it's a really weird day. how do you keep your hair -- by the way, talking about 2024 a lot because we have the big fox news gop debate that will be happening in august, john. that's coming up sooner rather than later. >> john: and karl rove was saying in recent days he thinks

it would be in the best interest of all the candidates to show up for that debate because momentum is a fleeting thing and if you miss even a little bit, particularly given the location and the fact that it's the first debate, not showing up probably is not a good idea. >> sandra: those debates are very important. >> john: they are. as we saw in 2016. we are expecting to learn more about hunter biden's finances over the next few weeks. according to court filing reviewed by the washington freebie con, hunter's business partners could soon testify. comes at the request of the mother of his 4-year-old daughter as part of a custody case and child support case in arkansas. "new york post" columnist and fox news contributor miranda divine joins me. so alexis roberts, the mother of the 4-year-old, wants people like rob walker, devon archer and eric to come in, clearly

she's got her sights set on hunter's foreign business dealings as he tries to argue he cannot afford the $20,000 a month in child support payments he has to pay. what could potentially come from hearing them testify, miranda? >> london roberts is really playing hard ball here and if she managed to get all of those people, all of hunter biden's former business partners, including actually the wife of kevin roberts, who is -- kevin morris, i'm sorry, his sugar brother, he paid his irs bill, hollywood attorney, manages to get all those people to come and testify i think that we will learn more from that than we have from all the time that the oversight committee has spent scouring the suspicious activity reports. if they testify under oath they will have to say what happened to those millions of dollars

that came into their bank accounts from china, from russia, from ukraine, etc. >> john: this is a witness list london roberts has got that is pretty much mirrors what the house oversight committee is looking to try to do but can't at this point. >> it will exactly. i mean, they could if they subpoenaed those people and for some reason they are not doing that. but london roberts is showing no shyness in doing that. now, look, this is a witness list, it's i guess a wish list. so far as i can tell, the witnesses have not been contacted as yet and asked to appear. i assume, you know, they are hoping there will be some sort of a settlement before this thing goes to trial, and i know that the white house is desperate for it not to go to trial. >> john: i'm wondering, is this sort of a way on her part to use leverage to say look, either you give me what i'm looking for here in terms of child support

or your dirty laundry is going to be spread from delaware all the way to little rock. pretty effective strategy, i would think. >> yes, i'm sure that's what it is. she's playing chicken with him and good for her, good for her lawyer. they are really not going to go quietly. you know, hunter biden was paying her child support, that was the agreement, she had to fight to get him to agree to do that and have a dna test to prove paternity, and now he wants to welsh on the deal halfway through so i think she's well within her rights to request all financial disclosures and hunter biden is going to have to do that, and in fact the judge in arkansas is contemplating a contempt charge that london roberts' lawyer has requested against hunter for not complying with other requests. >> john: if there's any question, miranda, what is at

stake in terms of what her side is looking for in terms of testimony from these witnesses, she wants to call as an expert witness from a white house aide, garrett ziegler. here is how his testimony or at least his presumed testimony is described in court documents, that he would testify on hunter biden, his financial condition, economic analysis of his accounts and transactions, based on documents provided during discovery and the contents of hunter biden's laptop abandoned in delaware and publicly available information. she wants to put that laptop front and center in this case. >> yes, and that really frightens hunter biden's lawyers. they have filed a long motion to dismiss garrett ziegler from marco polo as an expert witness. they are trying to remove him from the case because they do not want that laptop coming into

the court case. >> john: even though they have argued at length before the judge that laptop, what laptop? hunter's laptop? not hunter's laptop, whose is it, i'm not in position to answer that question. they are dancing around, it's almost comical. >> it's absurd. and either it's hunter biden's or it's not and hunter has given all sorts of answers on that, you know. we know it's his laptop, i don't know why they are playing this silly game. >> john: court of public opinion, very important for them. miranda, great to see your take on things. >> sandra: america's most sensitive technology landing in the hands of our biggest adversaries and a former engineer for apple is to blame. could russia, china, and iran

use it to strengthen their militaries and weaken ours? >> john: new york city is running out of room to house migrants pouring into the big apple. is putting them in the city's largest jail the answer? robert ort on that coming up next. >> i've been here all my life and to put people from another place by children here, i don't think that's ok. it's not safe. we don't know these people. out here, you're more than just a landowner. you're a gardener. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it. i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.

>> you don't like the stratutella? >> sandra: sure i do. >> john: pistachio. >> sandra: the migrant crisis is creating a big mess here in new york city as the city struggles to find housing for the new arrivals the city is getting daily. now talk about sending them to rikers island, a massive city jail plagued by violence. robert ort heads the republican conference and joins us now. what do you make of this idea, sending migrants to rikers island? >> thank you for having me, sandra. you know, i guess -- many of these folks, if not all are here illegally, and that is certainly where we do send people who have broken our laws is to jail. but think about how we got here. this is a complete failure of the president, president biden's administration to secure our borders, it is a result of new york city and new york state

declaring themselves sanctuary cities and states to the point we are choosing between dumping these folks off in the middle of nowhere across new york state or putting them in jail, a place new york city thought about closing for the last several years. lest anyone ever think the democrat policies, whether it's the policy on the border, or sanctuary city, do we put them in jail, dump them off in the middle of nowhere, a complete and utter failure caused this crisis we are seeing. >> obviously to your point dealing with this now, when it gets to this point, many republicans, obviously, want to deal with this when it happens at the border. but this is the situation we are in, chicago is in it, so many american cities are plagued with this problem right now. just some of what we are hearing from new york city residents, what is happening with the migrant crisis today, listen. >> people from another place by

children here, i don't think that's ok. it's not safe. we don't know these people. >> i don't want them in the school because i don't think it's safe, we don't know anything about these people. >> i don't mind giving a helping hand but when it interferes with the education of our students, yes, i do care. makes me angry. >> sandra: so they are obviously angry about some of these migrants being shipped to new york city public schools. they are in the gyms at seven of these public schools housing migrants. there's 150 emergency shelters already to house them. there's 3500 new york city hotel rooms currently being used to house the migrants. obviously noting, sir, you want to deal with this at the border, this is the situation you are handed. what other ideas do you have to handle this influx? >> well, to be clear, so definitely a failure of the border and you are right, that is where this should have been handled. title 42 should never have been

allowed to expire. our governor never publicly advocated title 42 not lapse. she's the governor of the fifth largest state, a biden democrat. why she did not appeal directly to the president to keep title 42 in place is beyond me. but the other issue is new york city and the state of new york have said and chicago and other places we are going to be sanctuary cities. this is what a sanctuary city looks like. this is why these migrants are coming to your city and why you now have this man-made politically-made crisis that democrats have created, they asked for it. what a sanctuary city looks like, only sanctuary for illegals and crime, but not for new yorkers and residents of the state. >> sandra: now the mayors themselves are saying we cannot handle anymore. you heard it in chicago, and

lori lightfoot said don't send anymore, resources have dried up and cannot deal with it. >> john: how is this for a statistic, sandra? nearly a half million people are leaving new york city since the pandemic. not the only big town folks are leaving looking for a better way of live. larry kudlow why the folks are leaving and where they are going. >> sandra: number of workers getting high hitting an all-time high. could legalizing marijuana have anything to do with that? results of a brand-new study next.gh t, you have to do it yourself. in 2015, my dad had the idea to revitalize american textile manufacturing with bedding crafted from cotton grown on our family farm. we created red land cotton to give you the best farm, the home products possible. because it's more than quality products. it's a labor of love from our family.

>> john: more and more states are legalizing marijuana and the number of workers testing positive for the drug hitting a record high. fbn's madison alworth is outside a legal marijuana shop in new york city, and if there's more pot and legal, more people will test positive. how much have positive tests gone up? >> it follows, john. the thing that's shocking and concerning, the post work accident positivity rate for marijuana has hit a 25 year high. an accident at work and the employee is tested, they are

testing positive for marijuana at the highest rates we have ever seen. last year in 2022, 7.3% tested positive for marijuana following an accident. in just ten years, we saw the rate increase by over 200%. now, that correlates with what we first saw states move to legalize marijuana in 2012, since then the vast majority of states have passed some form of legalization for marijuana, causing new problems for employers. >> i noticed that since it's been legal people think that they can smoke marijuana, weed, cannabis, whatever you want to call it, at any given time. and most of the time if they did smoke it they'll tell you i smoked it on my time off, like my lunch break or before i came to work. and these things are precisely, or exactly what we don't want them to do. >> especially at a garden shop where workers are using heavy

equipment, driving forklifts, getting high on the job is a real concern. john. >> madison alworth, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: all new at 2:00, new revelations from the durham report revealing the fbi shut down four investigations into the clintons just months before the 2016 election. republicans say it's time for the bureau to finish what it started. byron donalds on how congress can working to make sure that happens. plus, shannon bream, larry kudlow, and high school sprinting phenom coming up. all that and more coming up, it's a brand-new hour. 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.
