>> it's regrettable first of all to throw out the card of accusing everybody of bigotry. let's be clear about something. 30 counties and two towns in new york state have already declared emergency over half the counties in the states obviously there is something there it's called legitimate concerns raised by majority of residents. and for good reasons. we are not clear on what's going on the infrastructure we have the resources we have had a challenge already. me be very clear, what's going on here is we are ready for what we call organic migration we have had we've already had people come here from the border and they are assimilating into our county in a very modest way but we are still seeing strains on our food pantries and strains foster care for children has increased 35 percent fat, think about that, one school district and i have 1000 added children to a and its distrust school

district already. how are they going to learn? it's a shame she has to pull the card out but i would urge her to do instead is what's going on now kathy hochul and others are attacking the problem they are attacking the symptoms, how and good lord's name can you continue on this let's find places to put them when the key right now is to get to the border and even if you can check the border down, slow down the integration of people for time being so you get a handle on the prices that's been created by people like eric adams in new york city, new york city sanctuary city. >> you mentioned the state of emergency that's been declared in your counties we have it i think a graphic you can see. it's not just rockland county these are all the counties saying, hello that opens you up to be able to get the resources to deal with this but listen to mayor eric adams yesterday on the number of migrants coming in to your point about unsustainable. >> 5800 people came to our city

there the social services personnel our food pantries, we been managing without asking the state for a penny not a penny but the mayor has gotten billion dollars in his hands to the poor people from the state it's absurd from the city, it's absolutely absurd, you're not getting anything done and people are coming here to stay as long as they can and the most important thing for them is work the problem with clerk's office county has a very low unemployment rate of two percent housing is an issue here and spring valley is in a crisis right now for housing, rockland county for the first time in history of the state has been tasked with taking over housing departments and spring valley because it's in bad shape. is very few places for people to live and there's very few jobs we have day labor and that's about it. >> you have a lot of your plate we thank you for coming on the show today we will stay in

series of tips german authorities said the man behind bars for sex crime a known child abuser was the likely suspect and probably killed madeleine. he still hasn't been charged, now officials as you noted apparently have a new lead for at least the remains of metal and dozens portuguese german and british police are searching a reservoir and thanks for any trace of israel. it's near the resort where madeleine was abducted and it's us suspect was known to have frequented it's been checked out briefly before. if she was alive today, john, which still remains the hope of the distraught parents, madeleine would be 20 years old. but hope is sadly dwindling regarding that possibility. >> we did see the one woman come forward saying she believe she was madeleine mccann but he did not turn out to be the case we will see if the parents get any closure here. thank you. >> dana: heartbreaking results

from one family watching their daughter lou zach iscol championship track race to a transgender competitor. the parent saying exclusively to fox news digital there is no way that should be allowed by 100% empathize with the need to belong and the desire to compete, however, you have to understand how hard these girls work to do this, you are cheating the sport. fox news contributor ããlisten to athene ryan this is a transgender competitor a quote "i wasn't expecting that i dropped 17 seconds on my seasons best in the past two weeks after last weekend i didn't think i can run low fives again i was just coming to break five just glad i finished about one of the parents of the saying they are not allowed to speak out saying the student athletes reactions are very tempered and controlled as much of the can because they are not allowed to show any reaction to potentially not a firm attempting. so by cif rules the girls are

unable to speak about this. you just wrote a book about speaking out. >> that's the part that got me i did write about this in my book a little bit where people don't understand that not allowing someone to speak or making somebody too scared to speak is not the same thing is getting them to agree with you. if anything can work in the opposite way by building resentment and if you look at things, there is nobody actually quoted in the article because everybody's anonymous it seems that everybody has us fear that if they say something that might affect their daughter's ability to compete at all in the future which there is no positives no matter what your view is the situation question awful the more i think about it the more upset i am for the girls we can all be emphatic and compassionate with the biological girls they work their butts off to get their. >> there's only two fixes either martina never told about wisely says there should be an open category up to the various sports and their governing

bodies to decide how you do that affect seems pretty fair. depending on your gender identity and who you prefer to race against you can be in the open category it's either that or you let women juice, take performance-enhancing drugs. i look at this and i think i'm so sad i didn't have boys because they would make so much money and women's sports.>> i also want to ask you about this. i know you are a yankees fan but the dodgers you know the doctors very well they change their mind had disinvited anti-catholic group to pride night that there was an uproar now they are bringing them back to dodgers saying after much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities on the conversations within the la dodgers organization discussions with the sisters of perpetual indulgence the only daughters were walking back and a sincere apology. right thing to do? >> for catholics no i don't

think there's a lot of catholics were terribly excited about this but it's pride night and supposed to be fun anything goes as sisters of the sexual indulgence should dial back to anti-catholic rhetoric. you can have fun and make your point without excluding and hurting other people new york yankees fan and san francisco giants fan so i really don't like the dodgers no matter what they do here it's going to be the wrong thing.>> there's this lawsuit that alleges michigan state professor for students to pay $99 to go into a fund for her to do left-wing advocacy.including buying an suv now the students are suing her in the college saying maybe we need to change something here basically the university says it does not comment on pending litigation. she is not currently employed by the university and the students have been reimbursed but that's black male. >> is absolutely crazy. for the fact that she's using

it for her own personal organization. unfortunately i given speeches on college campuses and talk to college students, it's far from uncommon for students to feel like okay my views are more conservative they don't align with the professors so do i write in this essay stuff i straight up don't believe or do i fail? no student placed by the way paying to go to the school should have to make that decision. >> imagine your daughter next year says can i get an extra $100 to pay my professor. >> this is one of the things i did anticipate when you send your kids is going to make sure you have a shower caddy and other unmentionables to keep them safe but bribery money i didn't have that on my college to do list. >> hopefully we won't have to in the future great to see you both. >> she bought an rv. >> a $60,000 rv. >> that's how you do it. >> john, take it away from us. >> john: [laughter] will he or

won't he? new york report reporting virginia governor glenn youngkin is reconsidering his decision to stay out of the public and primary.what's behind that possible change of heart? how florida governor ron desantis is looking to overwhelm christian conservatives ahead of his campaign kickoff we got all that for you coming up. >> my job is to lead i'm going to lead with vigor and energy and i'm going to pursue the bold policies that are to make a difference.

hi, i'm sharon, and i lost 52 pounds on golo. i realized i needed to make a change

when i looked in the mirror and did not recognize myself. i felt sick, i felt sluggish. i was diabetic and my cholesterol was high. after about a week or two of being on golo, i felt my energy increasing and my weight shedding. i was going to a christmas party with my husband, so i decided to try on the dress that my daughter wore to her prom when she was 18. and to my surprise, it fit me perfectly. my children have seen a changing in me. i'm not sitting around anymore. i'm just moving and just seeing that i got up and changed my life. we are not supposed to feel sick and tired as we age. since being on golo, my cholesterol and my diabetes completely reversed. i truly feel like i'm back to the best me i can be. (soft music)

lord i governor ron desantis kicking off the national religious broadcasters association ããlaura green is there to tell us how it went >> reporter: you know governor desantis is not officially declared his bid for the presidency but last night he got as close as one could without officially declaring. the subtext of his 30 minute speech what's been good for florida as good for america.

>> my job is to lead and i'm going to leave with vigor and energy and i'm going to pursue the full policies that will make a difference. >> kicking off last night's opening session of the annual religious blog cast convention in orlando the largest gathering of mostly christian media organization that reaches a huge swath of public constituency through radio tv streaming and beyond as anticipation amounts desantis will launch his presidential bid this week give a preview of coming attractions checking out pretty much every bullet point for conservative christian voters. >> i was fortunate enough to sign the bill which is the strongest pro-life bill carter has seen and its modern history. we got it done. >> it is wrong to swim on the men's team for three years and then switch to the women's team and win the women's national championship win and i let them

try to impose the ideal of gender humidity on our kids particularly our young elementary school kids and if disney doesn't like that, here i stand i am not backing down one inch. i have only begun to fight. thank you all god bless you all. >> reporter: the buzz around here is that he could announce his presidency tomorrow in miami. back to you. >> thank you for being there for us. >> john: new rumblings on another possible white house contender on the republican side with virginia governor glenn youngkin is reportedly reconsidering his decision to stay out of the race. that's according to xes. youngkin previously shut down speculation he would run.

let's bring in xes contributor josh cross shower, here is the headline from your fine publication we will put it up on the screen, scoop, virginia governor glenn youngkin reconsiders 2024 bit, will he or won't he? >> the one thing that governor youngkin has the advantage of his time and money. he's waiting to see what happens with this current presidential field. does donald trump face further legal problems? does ron desantis live up to expectations? how does tom scott do is not to make an announcement ahead of these other candidates looking to get in but but he could look at the race as it looks at the end of the year and he may think it's not living up to standards he could get in he has a lot of money. he has millions and millions of personal dollars to spend and ramp up late in the game. i think he wants to be a part of the conversation. it's hard for any republican to jump in the race right before

the iowa caucus the new hampshire primaries but he certainly looks at himself in the mirror sees a possible resident and doesn't want to be left out of the conversation. >> you can always invoke the florida strategy as rudy giuliani. >> president ronald reagan change lives now it's our turn. time to choose life liberty and the pursuit of happiness over oppression and dictatorial rule the stakes are high. and the consequences couldn't be greater. >> day retro senior advisor to youngkin just shot all that down saying governor glenn youngkin's focus on virginia, anyone who would say otherwise is probably close to the government as they want people to think. if you go for youngkin, who would want him to run? people who don't want trump they think desantis might pull

a rick barry fall flat. >> there's a lot of republican donors operatives to think that donald trump is unelectable in 2024 they want to find someone who can win and offer a mainstream republican conservativism and youngkin did it and virginia no one thought he could win a blue state like virginia he won pretty comfortably he has a very upbeat conservative record of governance. i think one thing he needs to pay attention to there's big elections in virginia where the state legislature could go either republican or democrat in november if he flips the state legislature republican has a political argument to make after the november elections that could give him a run for president but if it stays blue there's not a lot of argument to make it could hinder his chances. >> hillary clinton asked yesterday in a form about bindings near slip at the g7 and whether age was an issue, here's what she said. >> we've had presidents who have fallen before who were a

lot younger and people didn't go into heart palpitations. but his age is an issue and people have every right to consider it. >> gerald ford used to fall down all the time. she said his age is an issue, how is that gonna play out now that the 2016 candidate is saying age is an issue and people are right to consider it. >> age is an issue i think most democratic voters think age is an issue it's gonna be one of president biden's biggest vulnerabilities he's going to have to address that going into the 2024 election but democrats are lining up behind biden even hillary clinton a little bit of wiggle room from the former first lady but even she gave a pretty warm endorsement provided. i think health is going to be an issue in the voters minds she acknowledges the obvious right there but ultimately is not to stop him from moving forward with the reelection.

controlling the. >> can you describe the room for us a little bit what was the mood in the courtroom? did you get any indication of how you think the trial will go eventually? >> it was professional that is a lot of people taking notes a lot of people on their computers, the media, a lot of security, the mood was business and the beginning of a process that these are the things that have to go in a certain order one step closer to getting justice. >> the possible sentence for him would be death penalty or life in prison if he is found guilty.i call for number one. those are the two. we learned a little bit more about him as nancy grace was explaining the other day, perhaps a little bit more about his background, have you learned anything that gives you more of a clue as to what happened before this incident? lots of different sources we

hired investigators we looked at it it's hard to know exactly what is all accurate but i do know from his college background so margie students had been interviewed some of his classmates and there is definitely an mo that that we could put together and have an understanding of who we are dealing with. >> there were four victims which allegedly of course your daughter kaylee was one of them. the timeline of that day would be very important and coming up for this trial as everybody loves to see what happened starting at 2:00 a.m. when the roommates returned home all the way until 5:25 am the next day when he's caught on camera on the campus. all of those things are in play in question as you get ready for the trial if you could help us as people keep you in thoughts and prayers. have you get through the day? >> it's not easy. i try to think of my family and think of my children and what i

need to do for them. and kind of ignore my own issues and just focus on that. that helps me. >> what is the next step in the process? >> october we are supposed to have a trial. we've been told to expect it to be delayed. there is a high possibility of that. we hope it's not. you have to prepare yourself for all the different scenarios that could unfold. that's what we are looking forward to there's nothing to be any information we asked we try to see if they could share but our hands are tied. we see anything until the court case happens and still be in october. >> you didn't seem like you were surprised by the strategy

yesterday for coburg or to remain silent and have the lawyer speak for him and the judge speak for him. i guess that you were surprised but in a way it was almost as if you can imagine that he might go ahead and plead guilty and will forward that way, i'll give you the last word. >> my wife did a measurement that was her hope to suffer the worst way i look at these situations. he didn't even address the judge. the way he addressed the whole courtroom was very defiant. >> all right we will stay in touch with you, the trial starts in october. thank you. >> thank you. >> we will see what lady justice ultimately has a mind. small businesses are the backbone of our nation and they are sweating it out as the same exits on the edge of financial cliff how the looming debt
