the home of the kentucky derby prompting investigations there. live at the racetrack, all decked out with this story. >> reporter: this beautiful blue sky and sunshine is a drastic difference from the hayes we saw earlier this week as new york city reported its worst air quality since the 1960s which every buddy was worried this iconic day will be impacted. and the gaming commission, air quality remains at certain levels, horses would need to pass an additional prerace examination to run. ultima the practice runs at belmont park were canceled thursday. the rating return yesterday as air quality improved, 9 horses will compete in the race of one. 5 miles known as test of a champion. as for the odds, after being scratched from the kentucky

time. we sent it send it to you. eric: so summer and spring light, and springlike, ready for the horserace. arthel: the smoke the canceled practice runs is cleared out of the area but is still lingering. part of the us, hundreds of canadian wildfires continue burning out of control. they are pushing a blanket of smog toward indianapolis, 4 air conditions are opposing health risks for millions of americans. let's bring in air quality expert josh holland. let me ask you this. how dangerous would you say the effect of the wildfire smoke is. >> smoke is dangerous from the wildfires specifically ten times as dangerous as normal pollution in the air.

the reason for that -- eric: arthel: who is most vulnerable? >> small particles smarter than the with -- these particles can go through if you breathe them into the lungs, from the lungs into the bloodstream, into your brain, your liver, your kidneys, heart, other organs. the people who are most vulnerable are the young and old and those with chronic conditions but this could be deleterious or harmful to anyone. if you are in an area with poor air quality right now, i urge you to go indoors. arthel: this sounds serious. how can they prepare those who are most vulnerable for the next time something like this happens? >> for the next time, i would make sure you basically have a

good home mayor filtration system whether it is half a filter or or new technology that can take, using sound waves, take ultrasmall particles and make them bigger so they are less dangerous and easier to remove from the filter. i'm a board member using this new technology that uses sound waves. it's a snowball effect. takes very small particles and pushes them together with soundwaves to make them bigger so they can be removed. this is what the unit looks like. i recommend this in addition to the filters. arthel: it seems like it is very well done but i do have to mention especially people who are very much affected by this,

to spend on such a fancy machine, what can they do. >> and 95 masks are helpful but taking showers but you raise a good point, there's indoor air pollution that is a silent killer that slowly ages us. over time, just as much impact as brief 10 minute or our exposure to extremely high air pollution you've seen in europe the last few days. arthel: how do you know, the air in your home, to be that detrimental to your health. what would cause that? >> so many things.

there is offgassing if you recently painted or had new flooring, you can have offgassing from those materials. unfortunately, i see from patients that there is mold that can grow behind walls that you can't see. if you're worried about these things, i recommend that you hire an objective expert to go in and measure the air quality in your house. arthel: will that help those who can afford it? will that help with that? >> one hundred%. it is amazing, doesn't have a filter you have to change. soundwaves that take a small particle and make them bigger so the uv light within the unit can actually remove them. arthel: they won't affect the pets?

>> they are safe for pets and humans. great questions, thanks. arthel: thank you. eric: cuba agreeing to host a chinese base to spy on us. raising already high tensions between beijing and washington. gordon chang, what it means to have the chinese 90 miles off our coast.

incredible tale of shook survival in such relief, search teams looking for many weeks for these children. the children were aboard a light aircraft with her mother when it crashed on may 1st. the youngest just a baby. 11-month-old, the eldest 13. thankfully all seemed to be well despite their ideal. the search effort started when the flight disappeared from radar apparently with engine failure, took another two weeks to find the wreckage, but by then there was no sign of these children. one hundred 50 soldiers and search dogs joined the teams along with dozens of volunteers looking for these children. rescuers track footprint in the jungle and eventually found the kids. it's not clear how they survived all that time. soldiers were passing food parcels into the jungle and playing messages, recorded messages from the children's grandmother.

when they did find the children they were airlifted out of the darkness, quite dramatic scenes, they were pulled up to a military helicopter and a delicate operation because the helicopter wasn't able to land in the jungle because it was too dense below. the children were safely flown out to the capital and taken to military hospital for health checks, the government is promising to give them the best available care. for full details where the children were found and how they managed to hold on for so long but this is a day of celebration. back to you. arthel: miracles do happen. eric: concerns over a threat from china. the wall street journal reporting cuba has agreed to host the electronic eavesdropping facility, just 90 miles from key west, florida. as unsettling as that sounds, the white house says it's

nothing new, beijing has been upgraded its intelligence collection on the communist island the past number of years. gordon chang is with us. author of the coming collapse of china. and on the island of cuba does this have the making of the cuban missile crisis? >> it could if they do that in cuba. and those denials are torturous, the wall street journal, a new spying base in cuba. china has been spying on the united states, signals intelligence from cuba for years. they were at the soviet union's

biggest listening facility in the soviet union and two others that have been reported, and at santiago they cuba. i think john kirby should have told the american people about this, he had to know the chinese were on the island. >> look what john kirby, i apologize, and telling fox news, and despite awareness of the efforts, we were not making to make progress, and slow the prc down, and keeping to work to disrupt it. and people will be able to disrupt beijing's plans.

>> haven't worked so far and it is unlikely, and biden is trying to establish cooperative relations with beijing. and whether we are talking spy stations, and in february of this year and the administration, as in beanies -- nbc news has said, looks like it is trying to avoid the whole issue of china's assault on the united states. eric: what the advantage and the goal to downplay this type of danger? >> i don't think there is any. the biden team feels we must establish friendly relations, must have lines of communication it if we go forward on this planet.

and we do have these instances where we have basically chinese talking points. out of administration officials. and they have no intention of sharing this planet with us on a long-term basis. beijing officials declare people's war on the us. and the biden team is not acknowledging the fundamental conference of nature of the assault on us, the communist party. eric: we have a list of how they dominate our country, the spy base in cuba. they allege cranes in us ports,

spy balloon, chinese -- they are buying the us land near critical areas, in arkansas, efforts to start mining, crypto mining, a list from tiktok to alleged tourists tried to gain access and military facilities. they are unrelenting and how do we stop them? are we capable of doing that? >> we are capable of doing it. if we have the political will. china uses every point of contact in the united states to take down our society. that means we have to sever those points of contact until we can figure out how to manage them but right now we are being overwhelmed and clearly china has the upper hand over the united states in our own country. letter member this is more than just a domination move. this is a move to install direct chinese rule over the

planet. chinese officials talk about this and we refuse to listen like we refuse to listen to usama bin laden. eric: a warning that we need to listen to the true chinese attempts. gordon, always good to see you, thank you. arthel: social media a factor in the declining mental health of teens with one study saying they are spending less in person time with friends. we have the full details on all this coming up next. all learning to save and spend their money with chase. the chef's cooking up firsts with her new debit card. hungry? -uhuh. the designer's eyeing sequins. uh no plaid. while mom is eyeing his spending. nice. and the engineer? she's taking control with her own account for college. three futures, all with chase. freedom for kids. control for parents. one bank for both.

without fully developed brains, coping skills, or therapeutic services. arthel: a mental health crisis among our youth. social media is a major factor in loneliness and confidence in the future. a new study finds the amount of time young people spent in person with friends fell more than 50%, that's before the pandemic. joining me now is doctor kevin gilliland, executive director of innovation 360. if you can, jump off from what we just heard from took home a's superintendent, your reaction to his comments. >> he is absolutely right. social media, being disconnected. that's one of the ways we get disconnected and isolated. anything that increases an adolescent disconnection and

isolation is bad, whether it is social media, substances, depression, anxiety and their brains, he is right, their brains are not used to this. it can shape the path of a end up taking. isolation, most devastating symptom we have. arthel: i want to look at a cdc study on high school students who experience persistent sadness and hopelessness. in 2011, take a look, you've got 21% of males compared to 29% in 2021. in the same 10 year period females jumped from 36% to 57%. wire female high school students more likely to experience persistent sadness and hopelessness? >> it is complex, not just an american thing but a worldwide thing.

it has to do with differences in how we are wired. whether it is hormones, when puberty hits, neurotransmitters, females develop faster than males do. they are more emotionally in tune, relationally in tune. we know from social media they are more vulnerable to things like body image, bullying. they are vulnerable for those things in social media more than males are. males tend to struggle differently and a little later. it is a trend that seems to have gotten far worse with covid. girls do get socially connected quicker than boys do. arthel: we like to talk to each other more than guys talk to each other. all the girls talk to each other in the dressing rooms. it's how we are wired.

i understand why it would affect us more. the surgeon general says other drivers of the mental health crisis include loneliness, declining confidence in the future due to surging economic inequality, racism, gun violence and climate change. what's your assessment? >> absolutely right. i love him, read anything he writes. it is so solid. what you see at this time period, it's a time that should be exciting and encouraging but what they see is what we also see. they don't have the benefit of time, to be able to think and hope. what you see, if you have daily isolation, your mood starts being pulled down and you feel like who you are, it is hard enough in your location but when you deal with is that at a much more global level, it is overwhelming and it starts to shape this hopelessness.

we have a lot to do with this. so do politicians. the way we talk about each other and the way we have this inability to listen and be kind and thoughtful, we are setting a horrible example for them and so we've got to do better at all levels. we have really struggled and they picked up on it and that is feeding into this hopelessness and is this a world i want to be a part of. arthel: they want the adults in the room to be the adults in the room. advice for parents. what can they do? what can parents do? >> think broadly. do not think like politicians about healthcare which is either/or. think broadly. it is not all up to you. get them plugged in at school or afterschool programs. get them plugged in with camps so that they can get out. whether it is camp in the city or send them away, who cares. get them connected to other

people and in life. one of the things we see from social media, it has less of a negative effect on our adolescents when they are plugged into life. plug them at multiple places. it's not up to you, mom and dad. it is do your part, school has got to do its part and we've got to do our part and high government levels as well. arthel: take care. thank you. eric: we are streaming hits including the last living suspect in the jimmy hoffa case. the search for james r hoffa on fox nation now. now you can meet someone else. william for andre -- he told me he has no regrets. >> i was a self-taught criminal. >> he loved being a wise guy.

loved every minute of it. i have no regrets. a lot of people think that's crazy but that's the truth. >> reporter: he served five years in prison and now hollywood is interested in his story, working class gangster says producer dan pearson is a character. fox nation streaming live hits this month and our exclusive show real, the last living suspect, streaming on fox nation. imagine stashing hundreds of thousands of dollars under your carpet in a hotel room. thank you. for that interview. we will have more news here on fox news live when we come back.

eric: an investigation will look into claims by an intelligence worker who says the government received alien spacecraft. alexandra half explains. >> reporter: this came to light because a whistleblower filed a complaint alleging retaliation for providing information to lawmakers about ufos or you aps as they are now called, he feels congress was kept in the dark. in a sortation that was considered urgent and credible by the intelligence community

inspector general according to his former attorneys and reporting by the debrief which detailed claims by rush that the government has been retrieving partially and fully intact nonhuman vehicles. he spoke earlier this week. >> these are retrieving nonhuman origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will. probably not the right parlance but no kidding, nonhuman exotic origin vehicles that have landed or crashed. >> reporter: he served on the identified aerial phenomena task force. >> there is evidence about ufos, it doesn't damage national security, we should be open to hearing and telling the american people as much as we can. >> i don't have the answers at the moment. it is classified but we will

look for those answers. >> reporter: don journalist michael schellinberger said he had high-level sources come forward claiming the us is in possession of at least a dozen nonhuman craft and he believes the government needs to open its doors. >> if they are not there nobody should reject to people looking including unannounced visits. you can't say there is nothing there and we shouldn't look. >> reporter: a spokesman for the department of defense told fox news digital this week that there is no fire out -- verifiable information to substantiate these claims. eric: ufos is something out there after they come here. i wouldn't put anything -- let's look, let's declassify everything, just get it all out there. we should know. folks in minneapolis want to know, live picture in the midwest. we are back, thank you. ♪ everyone: woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins
