>> john: all new at 2:00, they say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but in this case it may have helped turn a young boy's life around. >> you looked at them and said how are your grades? honestly, he kind of looked back, he has struggled, so he put his head down and he worked, he made straight as for the entire school year. >> that mom's sixth grade son challenged by a duke football player after telling him he wanted to be just like him when he got older. and now he's gone from c student one remarkable grades to honor roll member. >> john: how a simple message from his idol inspired the boy to tackle his studies the same way he tackles his opponents on the gridiron. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into a second

hour. what an inspire story. >> sandra: i love a good story with a happy ending. this very special conversation coming up as the student athlete, the sixth grader and his mother, all join us live coming up. we'll start things off with this fox news alert. >> john: secretary of state antony blinken wrapping up his historic trip to beijing and attempt to clear the air between the world's top two superpowers. >> sandra: they say the conversations were constructive but admitting they failed to reach notable breakthroughs on taiwan, slamming the talks as fruitless. >> the risk here of this renewed engagement strategy is we will abandon important defensive actions to engage in a series of endless fruitless talks with the ccp. >> john: a bipartisan group of lawmakers is calling on president biden to take a page out of his predecessor's

playbook. he want to expand israel's diplomatic ties with countries in africa to keep china from establishing a bigger footprint there. >> sandra: we will dig into all of that and more, with morgan ortagus. benjamin hall is live reporting from london. what more have we concerned about the discussions between blinken and xi jinping? >> good afternoon, nice to see you today. i think china set the tone for the meeting early on, and kept the u.s. guessing whether it would happen. secretary blinken only found out he was meeting president xi 45 minutes before the meeting itself. usually you have the red carpets rolled out when a dignitary, the secretary of state travels. not in this case. china precise whether it would happen or not. secretary blinken said it was about improving messaging and preventing misunderstandings with china. the state department said it was meant so the relationship with china would not veer into conflict. on the chinese side, the theme seemed to be the u.s. was the

country to blame for any tensions, with president xi saying i hope the u.s. will make more positive contributions to our relationship and foreign minister wang saying the u.s. was the country that needed to reflect deeply and not hype up the theory. blinken send the message the u.s. is not containing china. >> one of the important things for me to do on this trip was to disabuse our chinese hosts with the notion we are seeking to economically contain them. we are not. and as i've said, we are not about decoupling, we are about diversifying. >> and major other concerns and no movement on any significant ones. we have had chinese planes harassing u.s. planes in the region, chinese warships harassing u.s. warships, the infamous spy balloon over

nuclear sites and taiwan, and they say there is no room for compromise and no stepping back on taiwan. and blinken was hoping the reopening to the military to military channels but china said they were not ready for that, and discussed chinese military support with russia, and blinken said they believe the chinese government was not supplying russia but did say chinese companies clearly were, including drones and others, and they also worried about the chinese spy center opening in cuba. not a lot of movement but the secretary of state saying dialogue here, and yellen and the chinese foreign minister heading to d.c. >> john: morgan ortagus, good to

see you in person. it's been a long, long time. >> good to be here. >> you've been in your spider hole, dick cheney's old spider hole. >> john: you look like an anchorman. so, do you expect blinken will come back with anything tangible? >> no, nor do i think that was the purpose of the meeting. they sort of downplayed it last week when the assistant secretary for east asia, said we are going there because there is a lot of rhetoric and tensions and they are trying to dial it down. i think what is fundamentally wrong with that theory, it assumes china is only acting out because of things we are saying and doing. and if you look at xi jinping's reign and his country has acted toward the united states, they have a plan for regional and eventually global hijiminey, that taiwan is their red line,

they are willing to fight for it, and one moment biden is saying that we would fight over taiwan, not actually our policy, but he'll say that emphatically and the next moment dismiss the spy balloon and say china embarrassed themselves. so i think they are trying to find what their strategy is for china, and unfortunately what i am saying, they have not learned the lessons why they failed to deter putin from invading ukraine. i don't think they have learned their lessons when i see how they are putting towards xi. >> john: you mentioned biden and the spy balloon. what he said over the weekend. >> china has some legitimate difficulties unrelated to the united states. and i think one of the things that balloon caused was not so much that it got shot down, but i don't think the leadership knew where it was and knew what was in it and knew what was going on.

i think it was more embarrassing than it was tension. >> john: he's letting xi off the hook here but saying he's just embarrassed by it. take a look at xi and what he's doing in terms of the military build-up, ceding chinese influence around the world, and blinken went there, and then 45 minutes before blinken was scheduled to depart, he said i'll meet you for 45 minutes. that's bullying diplomacy and yet we keep taking it. >> and giving them a win on their home turf. easy sufficient when we get to meet with australia, or britain, our friends, but one wonders why they felt the need to do it in beijing. why give beijing, why give xi -- look at the image, seeing them across china. you are giving him a win on his home turf saying the americans came to us.

after the spy balloon incident, we allowed it to traverse the united states, essentially finish its mission, its collection mission, wherever it was doing. after that incident we canceled the visit. what price did they pay for invading our air space. and sometimes president trump had to give tough words behind the scenes, but i haven't seen any indication that the chinese have been told that you could never fly that type of balloon or any sorts of surveillance -- >> john: don't ever do it again. i remember trump asked about xi and he said no, i don't want to talk to him, he's behaving badly, i don't want to talk to him. >> and still yet a condemnation for no independent investigators, scientists allowed into china for the origins of covid and i know we are still talking about this. we have seen millions die around the world. you can't be afraid to speak the

hard truth to them, it's a massive cover-up, we saw millions die and it's important for us to remember that we still don't have an independent investigation into the origins of this deadly virus. >> john: so republican and democratic lawmakers are taking a look at africa and saying china is getting a foot hold there, we need to do something, let's expand the abraham accords, you were at the state department for, is that something that would work to forge more alliances with countries in africa and israel and put that all together? china already owns like most of the cobalt mines in congo, and other things. >> china does about three times more trade in africa in the continent than we do, but we give nine times more aid. so we could learn from the development finance corporation and can we look at more market-praised approaches to how we deliver aid. i'm all for aid, it's a great thing but we are not taking advantage of these

relationships, and we are certainly not pursuing the same type of belt and road initiative that china is doing. we have to be creative in africa. can we get them into abraham accords with israel, listen, it would be great. i don't know if it should be our highest priority, but much higher priority is market-based solutions to partner with these countries. wherever you look, these countries are getting -- it's essentially like loan sharks, they are getting free money and think it's great. always a bill due. >> john: exactly. and china says you keep the money, we'll take your port. >> it's not a dumb strategy. >> john: other countries can't figure out what they are doing is baffling. good to see you, morgan. welcome back to washington, for a while, any way. now this. >> this is a very complicated problem, first because it's out there in not quite the middle of

the ocean but near the middle of the ocean. it's a comprehensive approach to try and locate this immerse. >> sandra: that was rear admiral john mauger, talking about the submersible that went missing exploring the wreck of the titanic. alexis mcadams has the latest from the new york city newsroom. what are we learning right now is happening and what are we specifically hearing from the company behind the expedition? >> hi, sandra, developing minute by minute. an american company named oceangate, they have completed over a dozen expeditions and more than 200 dives in the pacific, atlantic and the gulf of mexico. and other information we will pull up. privately owned company out of everret, washington, stockton rush is the president of the

company, and he was breaking down what their plans were for the expedition. this titanic mission is supposed to be eight days, cost $250,000 a pop, it's a fleet of a five-person submersible they have and they are capable of reaching 4,000 meter depths. so a lot from the company. oceangate did launch the submarine, the size of a minivan, from newfoundland, headed out for a six-hour tour of the wreck of the tight mick, 250 miles east in the atlantic ocean. and it did not return last night, that's when it was reported missing to the coast guard. take a listen. >> the good news is as you've talked about is that this particular submersible is advertised to have 96 hours of survival time. i think that's based on the amount of oxygen that's available in the capsule. and so that gives us some time

to continue searching and continue using all means to try and locate the crew members. >> the oceangate tender ship polar prince is conducting a surface search, another sub from the same company, they are trying to help out, too. the coast guard, the u.s. navy, canadian armed forces, all hands on deck. if it has any problems it was to float to the surface. did that happen in this case, we have not found out yet. oceangate expeditions leads tours to check out the wreckage and they have had a lot of them that were successful and they were launching this one to head out yesterday afternoon. oceangate did release a statement saying they are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely. they are pulled up this one from june 1st, they said they were so proud of the ongoing operations and the success they have had with the satellite company

getting internet and communications with starlink, owned by elon musk's company, and "new york post" reporting the world renowned explorer ha mish harding is among the five people who went missing, visiting the shipwreck of the titanic, confirmed by his family, but so many families who were excited to go see the wreckage of the titanic and now they have not been heard from. we will keep you posted. >> sandra: that is a new development. we'll be watching for more, as this is ongoing and the clock is ticking. hours are left they'll have available oxygen if indeed that is their situation. we don't know. alexis, thank you very much. we'll say on this, john. >> john: sandra, right now president biden on his way to the golden state to try to boost his climate agenda. how some major green advocates are trying to give him a leg up

in 2024. >> sandra: plus, amid slow economic growth in this country, some businesses are not laying off workers but they are opting for a new strategy that may end up hurting their employees. we'll discuss with our panel, robert wolf and dan greenhaus are here. they'll join us next. i hear it. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals ira, and silver brochures.

>> john: president biden jetting off to california where he is expected to raise money with tech and climate donors leading the charge on his green agenda. biden set to announce additional $600 million in climate spending as part of this trip. grady joins us now, the green groups also played a major role in the 2020 campaign. >> they did, and he's trying to

appeal to them yet again. a joint endorsement from four of the biggest environmental groups in the country and some of the biggest spending environmental groups and he's trying to get more from the tech and climate leaders in california. they were good to the president last time around, if you look at the numbers, back in 2020, environmental and green energy groups contributed millions of dollars to help get him elected, and he's now rewarding them for that help. the president has steered $370 billion in subsidies to green energy projects through climate and structure laws. president biden touted his administration's green event investments and also went on the attack. >> after what i've done, when they come back to try to get rid of all these clean energy investments, they try to stop the plan, try to do these

things. guess what, they are coming for your jobs. they are coming for your jobs. they are coming for your future. >> republicans are not the only ones taking issue with the president's green agenda. some democrats are, too, but for a very different reason. they say the president is not going far enough on the climate. >> the president has given more oil drilling permits even than trump did. the president is doing kind of what a lot of the corporatists do now, they say the right things. it's like some really good healthy investment in the inflation reduction act in green energy over here, but then over there you are giving so much permission to oil drilling. >> so john you mentioned $600 million the president will announce in new climate investments, to strengthen the power grid, protect against flooding and sea level rise, so a little spending on climate and

fundraising as well. >> john: $370 billion? >> $370 billion. >> john: away from oil and gas, so you have to spend to do that, apparently. >> john: thank you. good to see you in studio. >> sandra: a new workplace trend has everybody talking and economists wondering if they are preparing for recession. working fewer hours. robert wolf and dan greenhaus, so you know, there is this constant conversation that this is an administration that keeps saying things are great. yet people are not feeling that, we feel something is going to drop from the ceiling in the studio. but there seems to be this constant disconnect. we hear from businesses now that they are looking out in the future and they are saying you know, there's a lot of

uncertainty out there and making adjustments to their workforce. does this tell you anything, robert wolf? >> yeah, i think we are at a fork in the road and a flip in the coin which way it goes. half the counsel have i is hurt by inflation, if not more, and then the other half is nervous about a recession. i'm certainly nervous about a long tail inflation. i'm not surprised we are having average hour work weeks down because a couple things. >> sandra: this is the drop, put it on the screen, november 2019, average work week 39 hours. it's gone down, and incremental drops, but may 2022, 38.75, down to 38.5 as of may 2023. obviously a half an hour difference does make when it comes to takehome pay. >> productivity gains and with wage inflation, employers are saying hey, if we can cut some costs here and there we should, and the other thing you and i have talked about we are not in

agreement of is some companies are going to the four-day work week, which also would take down hours. so, there's a lot of moving parts cost covid but not good for the economy with average hours going down. >> you have a couple of things going on. average hours being worked going down, starting to see jobless claims go up. the number of people quitting their job voluntarily are starting to normalize, so you are starting to see what's called cracks in here to for what has been the strongest part, the labor market. and at the end of the day, you have problems in manufacturing and other sector is the consumer, and if you are starting to see the trends that i just mentioned, the work week going down, quits rate going down, jobless claims starting to go up, it calls into question how much longer the consumer can hold up. i don't want to suggest a day or a week away, but it's something

that bears watching. >> sandra: have you heard of cash stuffing? you have now. a video of influencers, people who are very active in the social media environment have the attention of a lot of young people. on cash stuffing strategy, listen. oh, watch, ok. so you are watching it. let me describe. a savings system, an individual takes his or her income for the entire month, minus expenses and then divides the cash into categorized envelopes, so this is -- how they are planning to give, spend, save, this is a new strategy that is being deployed. is this something that you are seeing a trend of? >> this is dumb. clear and simple, this is the first time in a while we have rates at 4 plus percent, not 0 percent. so the cash under the bed is getting 0.

put it in a one-month t bill or -- make money off. >> i'm happy that we are doing this, if there's two people in the world gen z will listen to -- >> one is a gave, one is a save, and one is a spend. any money they bring home, decide which develop it goes in and divide earnings into what they think is the most sensible option at the moment. what's the harm in that? >> i have no problem, everyshould read it, at the end of the day, a fancy repackaging of i'm going to save some of my money and i don't find it a new or novel thing. but when you look at some headline numbers about how few people have an emergency account or cannot survive six months

without employment, but anything to increase savings is a positive. >> sandra: you say dumb, i say any sort of budget is a good thing. >> i love the savings part but make money off your money. >> sandra: got it, and that's where banks come in. the bank guy says it, the former chairman of ubs. john. >> john: alarming spike in whale deaths up and down the east coast. why investigators believe wind turbines may be playing a role. >> sandra: special counsel durham expected on the hill. will congress make major changes to the fbi. we'll ask jonathan turley next. >> politics with some law enforcement agencies at the top, a big concern of mine.

submersible, an expert on a similar voyage is optimistic they will be safely rescued. >> deep submersible diving is dangerous but it's high-tech. each year goes by, the equipment gets better, the technology better and so on, i'm hopeful and positive. i was in a sub for 12 hours, we have our own breathing system on board and if that's maintained properly, like changing your filter and the co2 scrubber, you can stay down for quite a few hours and in our case, i was down there for 12 hours total time in the sub, and the new technology can extend that, too, right. >> sandra: so that's some optimism, and we welcome that, certainly, john from an expert on the titanic. to his point about they have learned a lot from these voyages

over the years and this is extremely high-tech, and that is leading him to his optimism that they will eventually find them. >> john: if they have lost power and they have passive co2 scrubbers, that means they get the co2 scrubbed out and the oxygen pumped back into them, so that would be a good thing. i've watched a video on this, they even have a toilet on that thing, that's taken care of as well. as long as there has not been a catastrophic failure with the hull and the chamber inside there a chance they could come out of this, even if they are down and not bobbing around on the surface somewhere. >> sandra: i can tell our viewers we are continuing to work the story and working to get more experts on as this is an hour by hour, minute by minute search-and-rescue operation happening right now. we will certainly keep our viewers up on what is happening and bring the latest as we get it. >> john: looking forward to that. this, former special counsel

john durham is headed to capitol hill to testify about his scathing republican of the fbi mishandling of the russia probe, no one at the bureau has faced punishment so far. jonathan turley, george washington university law professor and fox news contributor. durham will be on capitol hill, and before the judiciary wednesday, outline the results of his years' long investigation and report which said in part, based on the evidence gathered and the multiple exhaustive investigations, neither the u.s. law enforcement or the intelligence community -- how do you predict the hearings are going to go, jonathan? >> the hearings are enormously important, it will be the first

opportunity to get john durham to respond to basic questions how this happened. i mean, the fact is that the fbi and the department of justice has routinely assured the public that they have reformed themselves. and yet the same pattern seems to play out year by year, these allegations of political motivations and bias. and it's beginning to show up in the polls. it's very telling that with the trump indictment you now have over a majority of citizens who view the trump indictment as politically motivated, and a majority that says they believe it's election interference. that reflects a deep distrust in the fbi and the department of justice. and it's something of a failure former rick garland who stated that he wanted to regain that trust. well, the trust level under garland is now lower than what it was under his predecessor, bill barr.

>> john: do you expect the hearings will lead to any changes at the fbi? >> well, its going to have to be changes forced by congress. we have seen these departments are not very good at policing themselves. the and the american people clearly want that, and the key is going to be greater transparency. we have seen the fbi in the last few weeks continue to fight with congress about the release of even single documents. congress is going to have to get tough and to say that we want more transparency, what has occurred in these areas where they are accused of political bias. >> john: jonathan, i want to turn you to another issue that's getting a lot of traction these days, and that is people squatting in people's homes and the inability of the homeowner to get them out. in houston a public school teacher and her family were evicted from a luxury home that they were in for months, they had used a fake lease to say oh, no, no, no, we paid for this

house. the real estate agent, the owner had to go through a number of legal hurdles to get them out and this video from jacksonville, florida, of a homeowner confronting a woman that says i have a lease that says i own this home. >> your police report states it's under investigation. with that being said, we don't have to leave anything until the police come back and tell us. >> i have every right to be in this house. >> you don't have any right to be in the house at all. >> you do not. me and my girlfriend owns the house according to the lease. >> me and my girlfriend owns the house, and claims she was captured in some zillow scam, which she paid a scam company to stay in the house. but police say it's not true. but in this case, if you get somebody living in a property that you own, jonathan, it is really hard to get them out. >> john, what's most disturbing about this is that these city prosecutors are actually part of the scam.

the scam only works because the city doesn't enforce existing laws. doesn't move with dispatch. the city councils are not moving to create new means of dealing with this. they have to have the ability to deal with these claims at the outset instead of forcing these owners to go through months of litigation. but most importantly, they need to prosecute these people. you have people who have falsified leases, who have made false statements to courts. they are rarely prosecuted. so there is no deterrent, no enforcement, and there's no penalty. what do you think is going to happen? and this is a serious problem because people may start to engage in self-help. people will take the law into their own hands because they cannot expect assistance from law enforcement. that's dangerous. >> we an see if we can affect a

political change in this legislatively. jonathan, always good to see you. thanks for joining us this monday afternoon. >> sandra: a non-partisan government watchdog is looking into the whale deaths along the east coast. 40 whales have washed up on beaches and they say it could be linked to offshore wind turbines. jeff flock on the jersey shore. what have you been seeing and hearing there? >> yeah, there's real concern here, sandra. a spike in whale deaths, what's causing it. well, there are some people that think it is the mapping that's going on behind me, you can't see it but it's out at the sea there, 3400 new wind turbines installed, part of the green agenda. it involves, of course, wind power and power from the wind out at sea because as you may know you get more wind out at

sea, so a push to get them built. now with the mapping it seems to coincide with these deaths. we had one where i'm standing here not long ago, a picture, maybe you see, a massive whale, got the attention of a lot of people and at 40 now where you report along the eastern seaboard just this year, an all time report. and if you look at where the maps are located, they kind of overlay where the new wind power is being installed. we talked to the congressman who hat gotten the gao to investigation. >> we believe there's a great deal of circumstantial evidence pointing the mapping of the ocean floor is causing their sonar, their ability to communicate and to direct themselves throughout the water has been compromised.

>> that's a republican congressman, chris smith, sandra. democrats have been kind of silent, although they are concerned about things like the whales, no comment so far. >> sandra: very interesting, jeff flock on that at a new jersey beach, john. >> john: technical glitches, flight delays, staff shortages, a few of the things on the laundry list of air travel issues plaguing the industry. congress wants to help but they are facing delays of their own. >> sandra: straight as for the entire school year after a talk with his hero. they are here to share their viral story next. >> i have to say thank you. because what you told him really stuck. om experian. it's got everything i need to help my finances. got my fico® score, raised it instantly, i even found new ways to save.

for pilot training will mean blood on your hands when an accident occurs as inadequately trained flight crew. i urge my colleagues to uphold the 1500 hour rule. >> another problem, a plan to boost the number of flights to reagan airport, known as dca, they say they should go to other airports, slots are a battle. and congress wants to update technology to avert glitches, tech problems forced massive delays earlier this year and near misses in austin and at new york jfk. >> john: what's going on out there, chad, thank you. >> sandra: we are just getting some more information on a story we have been following closely as those passengers on board the sub -- the vessel that was exploring the titanic that has gone missing now with hours to

go of oxygen apparently left i think that vessel. we are trying to get any new information we can. we are learning a bit more who was on board that vessel. british billionaire hamish harding is on board. ceo of action aviation. he's based out of dubai. it's confirmed he is one of the passengers on board. we don't know the identities of the other passengers. also we are -- also now learning there was a reporter from another network that was on this vessel last year, john, and this is getting even more important, that said when he was on board that sub vanished for hours. this was last summer. he said the entire excursion was marred by bad weather, bad communication, they went off the radar for hours and were not able to communicate, and the gps goes away at those depths as we have been reporting and they are

reliant on text message-like communications to let anyone know that they are in distress. obviously they are not getting any of those because they don't know precisely where this vessel is at this hour. but we are learning of one person at least on board, british billionaire hamish harding, the ceo of action aviation in dubai. not a whole lot more. there was some optimism from a titanic expert a short time ago, john, but who knows, we don't know. >> john: we should mention that hamish harding went the other way, he went into space on a june origin flight a year ago, june 4, 2022, and now the depths of the ocean. they have hull integrity monitors. if anything was going wrong they should have been alerted to it. maybe it's just that they have lost communications, and maybe either wandering around in the lower depth or bobbing about on the ocean surface.

if they are on the surface, the u.s. coast guard will finds them. they have pulled out no stops as rear admiral -- or all the stops, rather, as rear admiral mauger was telling us. >> sandra: and this reporter is reporting from when he made this trip last year, he said that they had to wait for several days due to inclement weather and how it would interrupt their travel. after six days they gave it a go. the communication system failed, that reporting said "there's no gps underwater so the surface ship is to guide to the shipwreck by sending text messages." he said on that dive, communication somehow broke down, the sub never found the wreck. we were lost. one of the passengers said in the news report, we were lost for two and a half hours. fortunately they returned and nobody was injured in there.

but very interesting to learn that this vessel has had its struggle in the past with these trips. >> john: they have been lost for a lot more than two and a half hours, so hopefully they will be found and found soon. >> sandra: about 70 hours to go by most calculations of oxygen in that vessel if they are indeed still in it. all right. we'll keep watching that. meanwhile, a young boy gets a chance to meet his hero. and the mother's viral tiktok video, it may have turned his life around. kay den owens got to meet anthony nelson after a football game, he said he wants to be just like him when he grows up. nelson said that means good grades. kayden took the challenge head on, and all three of them are here, and he made the honor roll. incredible story. kayden, what did it feel like to

get those good grades? >> it felt amazing to -- because i was trying so hard in fourth grade and i didn't have the best of the grades and i finally got good grades. >> sandra: mom, i bet you are proud. >> super proud. >> oh, that is an amazing story. and anthony nelson, kudos to you for inspiring this young boy. i'm sure you feel pretty good about that. >> yes, ma'am, i mean -- it's just inspiring to see kayden put his head down and work towards his goal to finally achieve that, i'm proud of you for that and shout out to miss owens for the kind message. >> sandra: that is amazing. can you give us a play-by-play, what happened when you met anthony that inspired you? >> so first we kind of talked and i said i want to be just like you and he said how are your grades, and my grades weren't that good, so i kind of

didn't say anything, so i tried really hard and got good grades. >> sandra: well, that is amazing. and mom, he comes home and he's on the honor roll now. i suppose you can start to look at colleges like duke with grades like that, miranda. >> yeah, we were really shocked because we knew he was an average student, nothing wrong with that, so we were just like work as hard as you can and after meeting nelson, anthony nelson, he come home and said mama, i really want to try harder and get better grades. so he would go to practice, he practiced three days a week, a private trainer one day a week and plays on saturday, he would come home, study, do his homework, study on the weekends, if he had anything that was missing, he would ask his teachers what can i do to get better. he kept his grades up. super proud of him. >> sandra: anthony, why is it important for you to inspire

young kids? anthony, are you still with us? >> i'm sorry, i can't hear you. >> sandra: your mission to inspire young kids. why is that so important to you? kayden, i'll get back to you while we get anthony back. kayden, he obviously inspired you. were you a duke fan, were you before, are you now? >> i was before. >> sandra: good for you. and so you are going to keep on cheering, i would assume. mom, what are your big plans for kayden? he's shown that he can go from c student to honor roll. he's capable of anything. >> yeah, whatever he wants to do with his future. he's told us that his only future is football, that's all he wants to do, we'll just push for him to do exactly what he wants to do and that's playing football at duke university, then that's what he's going to do. >> sandra: oh that is so fun.

i think we have anthony back. you have inspired this young man, why do you want to help young people? >> watching kayden get good grades and inspired by something i did motivates me to get up every single day and put my best foot forward and if i can inspire somebody to do well, it touched me, i will great role models when i was younger, it's important to pay it forward to the next generation. >> sandra: amazing, what a collaboration, great group effort to help young kayden. mom, you got involved, turned out to be a beautiful story. we'll keep watching you, kayden, thank in there and anthony, thanks for being his inspiration. we need more of that in the world. good stuff. >> thank you. >> sandra: all right. >> thank you. >> sandra: beautiful story, and kudos to the mom for getting involved and making that sort

of -- that magic happen, john. >> john: importance of a strong mentor who can tell you there is a different way to go about doing things and if they have the influence to inspire you and take the ball and run with it. i mean -- there are so many stories that are just like that. you just got to meet the right person at the right time in your life. >> sandra: i agree, you never know that one moment can change somebody forever. >> john: absolutely. fast thinking by an english convenience store owner who helped catch a would be robber. video shows the suspect here trying to steal a four-pack of beer at knife point before the store owner ran to the front door and shut him in. the owner eventually closed the shutter on him, trapping the robber at the entrance. check out what the suspect does after he realizes he was caught he decides he's going to make the best of the situation and cracks open a stolen cold one while he waits for the police to come and get him.

>> sandra: all right, amazing. ok. >> john: got to learn to drink lying down. desperate times. >> sandra: looking for any update on this situation with the titanic, and this submersive vessel, john, and hoping and praying we will get that. >> john: and video of how big of an area they are looking in. >> sandra: thank you for joining us. i'm >> martha: we continue with this developing breaking story at this hour. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. two big stories we have for you right now. bret baier has just wrapped up an exclusive interview with former president donald trump. we are about to give you the first look at a preview of the interview and bret will join us shortly with his thoughts on how it went, what they talked about and all of that when you see more o
