8:00 am
promotion for the barbie movie. fans can try to book it on airbnb next month. this might be as big as the taylor swift concert tickets. >> martha: that's a lot of pink. i wonder how the neighbors feel about all that pink? maybe we should book it and go on the water slide and -- >> dana: we'll ask if we can go play tennis and go this. >> sandra: fox news alert. deadly heat wave gripping the south. no relief in sight for tens of millions of americans in triple digit temperatures. i'm sandra smith for harris and you are in "the faulkner focus." something known as the heat dome is causing the scorching temperatures. a ridge of high pressure traps heat over a specific area.
8:01 am
it can stretch over several states and last for days or even weeks at a time. the air is so hot it is like being inside an oven. that's exactly how folks in texas, mississippi, and louisiana are feeling right now. heat alerts are going beyond those states to include some 60 million americans. tens of thousands of folks are now without power. just being outside for a short time brutal. >> i'm sweating standing here. >> we used to walk everywhere. now we uber or drive because it's so hot and humid. >> lots of water, coolers packed all the way up. loaded with ice. everybody is watching each other as back. >> another thing about this. >> sandra: we'll be talking live to a rancher about the danger to his animals and his livelihood. first team fox coverage. stacy stiegel is on the ground in dallas, texas.
8:02 am
first senior meteorologists janice dean. >> it is a dangerous situation in week three in texas of temperatures well over 100 degrees and we're setting records. so heat alerts are spreading from the southwest through texas across the mississippi river valley toward the southeast and for texas we've been dealing with temperatures over the century mark with heat indexes surpassing 120 degrees. what it feels like to be outside. this is dangerous, unprecedented weather for some of these areas. these are the temperatures right now that we're going to hit over 100 degrees. what it feels like with the heat index and humidity. your body can't function properly to sweat, which is a cooling mechanism, which is what we need to go outside when it is warm outside. when you have humidity surpassing 110 degrees it is dangerous especially for the elderly, kids, pets and people who work outdoors. this is again week three of this
8:03 am
dangerous heat dome, this high pressure that's remained anchored across texas, now spreading to areas over the mississippi river valley up towards oklahoma city. we're going to hit record highs. a lot of folks are probably like well, they are used to this kind of heat across the south. in texas. this is early and this is relentless. when you deal with humidity levels that we are experiencing right now, that's why this is a top story, a big story. that heat is going to continue for areas north of texas through oklahoma and across the mississippi river valley. memphis, tennessee forecast heat index in thursday and friday. dangerous levels here, sandra. ist is all because we have this ridge of high pressure that has not budged for weeks and now it is expanding. millions of people across the south are going to be feeling this temperature and i am concerned about those susceptible to heat illness. there is no relief in sight.
8:04 am
back to you. >> sandra: thank you for your coverage. team fox coverage on deadly heat wave. casey stiegel is live in dallas. temperatures in the mid 80s expected to swell to the mid 90s today. feels hotter than that. what are folks dealing with there? >> they're dealing with heat and humidity and janice dean talked about it a lot. these are more like august temperatures and up here in the dallas area we don't get lots of humidity like this. it is oppressive. 95 is the current heat index in downtown dallas only after 10:00 in the morning. we have a ways to go. another scorcher on tap for most of texas. also as you heard oklahoma and parts of the south like louisiana and alabama, as millions of americans crank their a.c.s up to try to get some relief. that also raises concerns about whether there will be enough supply to meet such high demand.
8:05 am
a group has released a report through the u.s. department of energy and it shows 2/3 of north america at an elevated risk of electricity shortages if faced with extreme conditions in the coming months. look at that map. large swaths from california to new england. aging infrastructure a focus on renewables and changing weather patterns to blame. according to the fed more than 70% of the nation's electricity grid is more than 25 years old. here in texas, the agency over the state power grid, however, is confident there will be enough supply, at least for now. >> it means the grid is under tighter conditions. it doesn't mean there is an imminent issue that the grid will go down or anything like that. >> officials are watching it closely. the white house has pledged
8:06 am
billions of dollars to fund grid updates and the building of new interstate transition lines and enhancing green energy alternatives. we should point out that the report emphasizes there should be no issues with electricity shortages if the projected peak demand is met. but as we said, that's just a forecast. that's what they believe the numbers will look like. things can turn south very quickly if a plant goes off line or if we still have long-term heat waves like the heat dome i know texas and a lot of others wish would just go away. >> sandra: it is a lot for so many to deal with and a danger to so many right now. thank you for the update. extreme heat impacting animals and the many people who depend on them. cattle ranchers forced to use a.c. to cool their livestock. dairy farmers are having trouble
8:07 am
milking cows because of the increase in body temperature. the heat makes it harder for cavs to nurse. john owns a ranch in texas running cattle in cooler weather. in the summer raises turkey, deer and honeybees. even they are suffering. >> lots of bees needing water. everybody is stressed. everybody is in here trying to get water all along the edge. pretty amazing. got to keep their hives cool, too hot. >> sandra: that rancher joins us now. explain what we were seeing in the video there. >> those are water -- big water reservoirs of 30,000 gallons pumped by wind miles and the bees are coming to collect water to take back to the hives to try to keep their hive at a below 100 temperature. very difficult for them to do.
8:08 am
so lots of trips back and forth to the water the little bit they carry and flutter their wings to keep the hive cool but they are struggling. we're getting ready to head them to nebraska this week. >> sandra: a very expensive move. >> when it gets to 100 degrees they have to go somewhere else and pollinate in the northern country, alfalfa and clover. it is part of it. we're just dealing with a lot of stress in all animals. all the deer, turkeys, everything. random times of day that i haven't seen in quite a while. we're no stranger to triple digit heat but it is very early in the year. if we have to go through months of this, june, july and august it will be a struggle for those who have water issues and land that's over grazed.
8:09 am
it will be tough times. >> sandra: we're showing video of your ranch there in uvalde. you are talking about some of the challenges you face. what stress does it put on the animals? >> on your cattle, you know, it's just extreme. anything extreme. if it's extreme cold or hot, i talked to a gentleman yesterday in the cattle feeder business and he said we lose a lot of cows in extreme cold and extreme heat. it's the extremes. again, they are talking about heat indices. we were in 128 last week and ambient of 116 last wednesday. that is hard to deal with wild animals as well as cattle, sheep, goats, all the other things they run here in southwest texas. >> sandra: it's a lot to deal with. how is everybody who works with you and around you? how are they hanging in there? >> we hang in there pretty good. everybody says we're used to it
8:10 am
but we're used to it and get out in it and when we get too hot we take a break and try to get as much of the hard stuff done before lunchtime and then try to work in the shade after that, maybe in the barn doing mechanics or so on and so forth. >> sandra: our hearts are with you and all the ranchers and everybody working in agriculture. our farmers who are facing these challenges. john, thank you for coming on. our best to you. >> you bet. yep. just keep everybody in our hopes and prayers and this thing will move. i don't want it to move to anybody else but better if it did, sorry, guys. >> sandra: you got it. sending our best wishes your way. thanks, john. hang in there. former house speaker nancy pelosi with criticism of the supreme court and its large conservative majority. critics say she has hit new heights of hypocrisy. plus our own karl rove says papa biden could have handled his son hunter a whole lot differently. >> the vice president of the united states, his father was in
8:11 am
charge of encouraging the ukrainian government to crack down on corruption and his own son was participating with a corrupt company in a corrupt act and he should have had a conversation with him about it and said what do you think you are doing? get off of that board and stop trying to make money off my name. >> sandra: now the latest in the biden family web, which is getting more tangled by the day. ben domenech joins us next. with a home loan from newday, take out an average of $70,000, pay off debts and high rate credit cards, and save hundreds every month. -because he was... -wait, wait, hold on... that neighbor is hot!

bringing charges. garland said weiss had independence. but mr. x said weiss wasn't really in charge. he had to follow the process. an op-ed freeze. president biden insisting he did not lie when he claimed again and again he never discussed business deals with his son. republicans say they are on to him. >> you have to expect the president is probably going to double down on his position. but i think that over time there is going to be proof that the president was involved in at least conversations. if the president, then the vice president was taking money at the same time from foreign governments or foreign officials or foreign business dealers, in exchange for policy positions in the united states, that's going to be an enormous issue. >> sandra: the american public would have the right to know. jacque heinrich is live at the white house.
8:18 am
quite an exchange with the president yesterday. >> good morning to you. house republicans, including speaker kevin mccarthy, have cited that whistleblower testimony including the text purportedly from hunter biden to a chinese business associate as evidence the president lied when he repeatedly claimed that he has never spoken with his son about his overseas business deals. i asked the president, did you lie? and i got a firm no. congressional republicans probing hunter's case and looking for the president's involvement are not wanting to take biden at his word. they have a list of people they want to talk to after the u.s. attorney ran into roadblocks during the investigation by
8:19 am
d.o.j. officials and preferentialal treatment and lesser charges than he deserved. we want to talk to leslie wolf and said you can't ask questions during the investigation to mr. shapley. you can't ask questions about joe biden. merrick garland said he took a hands-off approach to the investigation. that looks like it wasn't accurate as well. those are the questions we have to ask. >> one thing congressional republicans don't want is for attorney general merrick garland to appoint a special counsel to continue hunter's case. it would be like the fox guarding the hen house. >> sandra: jacque heinrich, thank you. even the liberal media spotlighting the problem. >> the lead i.r.s. agent investigating hunter biden telling congress they uncovered evidence the president's son pressured a potential chinese business partner to move ahead with a deal by invoking his father. if true, that would seem to contradict comments from president biden that he was not
8:20 am
involved in his son's business deals. >> i said do you plan to talk to the president and she said chuck, no, i don't plan to speak to him about this and i don't plan to address this from the peedium. in many ways creates more questions here about this issue. >> sure does. >> sandra: ben domenech, editor for the spectator joining us today. we a lot of times catch the white house press briefings during our hours in the afternoon. it seems there is some sense of growing pressure on this white house to explain these conversations that that's whatsapp messageing implies that the president was sitting with his son. he says he has never discussed any of these his dealings with hunter. where does all this go next? >> well, i think this is
8:21 am
absolutely creating a difficult situation for the white house, as you said. they have continually tried to dodge on this issue. they've maintained that what the president says is absolutely true and now we have evidence to the contrary. now, what we should understand is this is hunter's side of the equation. him promising these things to other foreign figures and the like. does not mean he actually delivered on the promises of access, influence or to deliver on the things that they wanted. but now that we have the evidence he was promising these things means that the series of questions that lawmakers have is significantly larger than what they had before. to the earlier points regarding the investigation and everything suggested around the idea that weiss was not in control, this is of a critical nature to get to the bottom of. we can't have a situation here where we're told this was an investigation that proceeded in orderly fashion, came to an
8:22 am
orderly conclusion and operating in a transparent manner without any influence from the white house. if you had higher ups weighing in and preventing the weiss investigation or anybody else for that matter from doing their job. that includes, of course, the interests and searching the guest house on the biden property. it is fine for some of the people in the room to say that might look bad. it might but that doesn't mean you don't need to do it in order to do your job. the american people can have no confidence at this moment that this is an investigation occurring without pressure, even if it wasn't applied by joe biden himself but from above to make sure that this was something that they swept under the rug and made go away as quickly as possible. >> sandra: not only sweeping under the rug but taking hunter biden very publicly out in the form of a state dinner while you were speaking. that was thursday when the president held a state dinner entertaining prime minister modi of india and there was hunter biden, very prominently featured
8:23 am
at that dinner thursday night. and while there does seem to be some sense of growing questions from the mainstream media, some are still rushing to the president's defense. this is the view. listen. >> the hunter biden story, the scandal, this and that is also the story of a father's love. joe biden has never and will never give up on his son, hunter and will never treat him lesser than. he is a father first, take it or leave it. that's who he is, that is part of his heart. >> sandra: according to "the view" nothing to see here. the story of a father's love. >> we all in the wake of fentanyl crisis and the di dick shun problem we have someone in our lives who went to tough times but it doesn't allow them to engage in critical activities using the father's name and
8:24 am
deploying it with america's adversaries in order to make money. that's not love, that's excusing criminal behavior. if you can't tell the difference there, i think you are an idiot. this is obviously a situation where his own addictions, his own struggles are being used to cover up for the fact that he did a lot of things that are very questionable, including involving frankly communist chinese connected industries and others who are not interested in america's best light. the fact is we have to get to the bottom of that and he can be a loving father, fine if you want to compliment that about joe biden but it does not extend to allowing his son to use his name in order to get millions and millions of dollars and not pay taxes on it. >> sandra: the influence peddling. the white house seemed to shift the goal poverty last week. the spokesperson for the biden administration used the line that the president was not in business with his son. what seems to be a shifting
8:25 am
message from the president's never discussed business dealings with his son. we'll see where they take that. former speaker nancy pelosi is backing calls for new supreme court rules, ben. the court now has a 6-3 conservative majority. >> they certainly should be term limits and if nothing else there should be some ethical rules that would be followed. it's shameful how thomas and alito have been so cavalier about their violations of what would be expected of a justice of the supreme court. >> sandra: an op-ed for pelosi can calling for rules. she has used her position in congress to benefit her and her husband's stock portfolios for decades and repeatedly slow walked bills at the behest of companies that she and her husband invest in. she was a member of house leadership longer than eight of the nine justices have been on the supreme court. bold claims she made in that
8:26 am
interview, ben. >> you know, the fact that nancy pelosi is still here, still being paid by the taxpayers, still engaging in the same type of ethical behavior when it comes to the stock portfolio and everything that our viewers definitely know about at this point. it makes the whole thing completely insulting. here is what's really going on, sandra. they have done the polling and they figured out they can't pack the supreme court. they wanted to. the most extreme members of their part still want to. they've done the numbers on it and figured out they can't. independents would backlash and they try to engage in a different approach. one designed to force recusals from various justices to less en the impact of the majority. the fact is that won't happen or not something the justices go along with. they have all experienced the hell fire that was thrown at them during their nomination processes. particularly justice thomas and
8:27 am
justice kavanaugh. to hear this from nancy pelosi when she has been holding power as long as she has that suddenly she is interested in term limits. give me a break. this is laughable and insulting. the sooner that we can move away from the generation of leadership that held onto power way too long in america is better from my perspective. >> sandra: interesting to see justice alito firing back. charting a new path for justices to defend themselves in a more public way. they often don't. >> i certainly hope so. >> s >> sandra: pete buttigieg facing backlash. republicans say it is far past time for him to fly commercial and pushing legislation to make that happen. we heard it a vote for joe biden is a vote for kamala harris. they have been trying to boost the v.p. but a new poll says her
8:28 am
favorability dropping to an all-time low. >> joe biden, if not joe biden it will be kamala harris, trust me. me. e, muscle, bone, and heart health. everyone: woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals. enter the $10,000 nourishing moments giveaway. so many hotels. ah! ah! ah! trouble booking the family vacay? come on. comfort has free hot breakfast for the whole fam. they have waffles! and splendid pools. cannonball! book direct at choicehotels.com. this is remington. he's a member of the family, for sure. we always fed him kibble it just seemed like the thing to do. but he was getting picky, and we started noticing some allergy symptoms. we heard about the farmer's dog and it was a complete transformation. his allergies were going away and he just had amazing energy. it's a no-brainer that remi should have the best nutritious and delicious food possible.
8:32 am
i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is your eligibility for a va loan, which lets you buy a home with no down payment. now, there's no reason to rent when you can own. helping veterans buy homes.
8:33 am
that's newday usa. >> sandra: fox news alert now. russian president vladimir putin hailing his country's military and law enforcement claiming they prevented a civil war after the short-lived mutiny by the wagner group. they closed the case against the rebels and group's leader. some say it is a big opportunity for ukraine. >> i think when you are in a war and you get your enemy down, you ought to choke your enemy to death. now putin is scrambling. now is the time for america to supply what the ukrainians need and let's go win this thing. >> sandra: greg palkot is live in kiev for us.
8:34 am
so, greg, we'll watch what happens next. >> exactly. we'll get to the fight back in a moment but let's talk the reshaping of the narrative in russia. putin again trying to put that spin on things at a kremlin security event. yes, he raised the specter of a civil war but said he averted it calling the wagner group mercenary uprising a blackmail doomed to failure. neighboring belarus said he was opposed to striking a deal. he hailed his own role today and also spoke in dark terms saying and i quote. if russia collapses, we will perish under its debris. the wagner chief prigozhin had arrived in his country. he and his fighters are set to go into exile there as part of that deal arrangement.
8:35 am
russia today says charges against all those folks are dropped. finally kiev is trying to take advantage of the confusion, sandra. ukrainian president zelensky has praised his own forces for making some gains in the last couple days. nine villages have been taken back from russia in the past couple weeks and yes, just in the past 24 hours important inroads in the south and east. you go back to the broader geopolitical stakes of all this, sandra, lukashenko said most of the russian nuclear weapons sent and deployed to his country have arrived and particularly concerning to analysts he said he is in charge of them along with moscow. concerning stuff. back to you. >> sandra: live in kiev with the latest. greg, thank you. more bad news, poll news for vice president kamala harris. 49% of voters in a new nbc poll have a negative view of her.
8:36 am
less than 1-third see her in a favorable light. the lowest for a vice president in the history of that poll. compare her top lair tee with that of joe biden, she is way below mike pence and al gore. republicans including some 2024 candidates reminding us we are talking about the person a heartbeat away from the presidency. >> let's be very clear. if they think it will be president biden, a vote for president biden is actually a vote for president harris. >> we can't afford to have him from age 82 to 86 in the white house or worse have kamala harris assume the presidency. >> i don't know if biden can finish out the second term. what happens then? we have kamala harris as president? >> sandra: that could happen. gianno and david our power panel today. david, start with you first.
8:37 am
is there growing concern from democrats even on these low poll numbers? >> look, i'm not concerned at all when i look at this poll. i will tell you why. a few reasons. first when we look deeper at the poll it shows that the 49% negative rating is actually a lower negative rating than donald trump and mike pence and desantis is almost tied with kamala harris at 46% negative rating. so it's not really that bad news, i think. i think the more troubling thing is we have such a negative rating for president trump. when we look at harris, i think it is a false narrative to say that she is not doing her job. she is tied with john adams for the most tiebreaking votes in the senate. something that makes her one of the most crucial, vital presidents in our history. when we look at that poll. >> sandra: let's let gianno
8:38 am
respond. there is a big difference here. that is that this president and vice president are currently in office, gianno and they are out there touting their legislative successes. >> you know what? that analysis from david sounds like an analysis from "la la land." the reason why joe biden won the primary is because of kamala harris and the black support that she garnered. 82% of black folks view the biden presidency favorably and knout 52%. 27% of those same folks say they might vote for trump. hispanics don't want to see them run a second term. the real question if we have people in the primary like robert kennedy junior, if he were to make a pro black, pro hispanic pitch they will be in real big trouble here. the truth of the matter is with the hunter biden plea deal that
8:39 am
we saw last week, a lot of african-americans, many other rappers and african-americans see what has happened with the president's son as an unfair deal. many of them have gone to jail for the same things hunter biden has done. now you will have imagery of an administration whose favors justice for the son of the president. they are not getting equal justice under the law. that's the consideration for a lot of african-americans. >> sandra: that's an important point to bring up. >> i might not have access to the crystal ball that gianno is talking about but we talk about the poll right now that still shows in that same poll that president trump has a higher negative rating than kamala harris. with all this talk about how bad kamala harris might be. she is still doing better than trump. >> sandra: let's get in here and effort to respond. president biden could face
8:40 am
trouble in the 2024 campaign from a third party candidate, gentlemen, west is running for president with the green party. he is already in the ballot in wisconsin, michigan and north carolina. david, go ahead. >> we'll see how far this candidate gets in terms of getting on the ballot. again, i think when we look at the solidarity behind president biden in this primary, he is looking really good. when we jocks to pose that to the republican primary donald trump is doing very well but still has ten other people that are fighting for that position and many of them are doing okay in the polls. but at the bottom line i think we see many of those people that might be on the fence are certainly not voting for donald trump. they are looking for someone else and the reason why biden is in office is because of president trump. biden can beat trump and done it before and will do it again. >> sandra: you are starting to repeat yourself. we are looking at the new
8:41 am
numbers out now and implications for the current president and re-election bid. this is further evidence that there are more senate democrats that appear to be splitting with the current president. this is another potential problem for president biden, okay? senate democrats up for re-election in competitive districts that joe biden lost or narrowly won in 2020 appear to be distancing themselves from the president voting against him more often. that is according to 538 analysis including manchin, tester, rosin and sinema and king. what are the implications of that? >> it is smart they're doing it. joe manchin could be another spoiler for the president. people know there is an interest in running. i think joe manchin feels as though the president has betrayed him on agreements they made in the past. matter of fact, faulkner interviewed joe manchin and he said the president would keep his commitment on the energy front and it didn't happen.
8:42 am
i think these senate democrats are making the right decision. joe biden's popularity has declined greatly among his own base. so with that consideration in mind, every man or woman for themselves. >> sandra: before i go to the next topic the latest power rankings on the screen. new fox news power rankings showing president biden will play defense in nevada, pennsylvania, georgia, arizona and wisconsin, david. so everybody will be keeping their eye on that. the latter three he won by a margin of less than one point. those being in play a big deal. meanwhile senate republicans are pushing to stop transportation officials from taking private flights for official business. that includes secretary pete buttigieg. the bill was introduced by missouri republican schmidt who said it is far past time that buttigieg travel commercially.
8:43 am
buttigieg defended himself in february when i do use our agency's aircraft it is usually a situation we're doing to save taxpayer money. it comes as the administration pushes its green agenda including electric vehicles. why wouldn't he fly commercial, david? >> well, like the secretary had said, he said overwhelming majority of the time he does fly commercial. he flies economy like he said. and there has been 18 cases where he has taken the private jet. but yes there should be transparency and scrutiny and save taxpayer dollars but not limit the ability of our elected officials or appointed officials to do the job they are supposed to do. we've seen this before. the previous secretary under trump was criticized for billing up 94,000 in just a few private jet flights. tom price, the secretary for -- >> sandra: the secretary who is pushing electric vehicles on the
8:44 am
american people at a time when many say they aren't ready for that. the question is, gianno, shouldn't he set an example by flying commercial? better for the environment, right? >> absolutely he should. david mentioned tom price, the former health and human services secretary was forced out because he was using the private jet. why can't it be the same for pete buttigieg? shouldn't there be equal, right? doing the same thing and making a good example but they aren't. pete buttigieg. >> they should be. they should be transparency and the majority of the he is flying commercial and continuing to do that. >> sandra: transportation secretary should be transparent and so should everybody in public office, all right? we'll keep wishing and hoping. thanks so much, gentlemen, thank you. all right. hands off my pizza. outrage growing over a proposed crackdown of wood and coal-fired ovens in new york city.
8:45 am
8:50 am
hot over a proposed crackdown on wood and coal-fired pizza ovens. the city wants to cut carbon emissions they say by up to 75%. that could forever change the taste of the iconic new york slice and could cost pizza parlors a lot of money to comply. one protestor throwing pizzas at city hall. >> the woke folks who run new york city are afraid of pizza? you heard of the boston tea party? this is the new york pizza party. >> sandra: nate foye is at john's of bleaker street in new york city. there is a lot of out rage about this.
8:51 am
new york, you think of pizza. this changes things. >> it's a big part of new york city's culture. so is john bleaker's. one of the most iconic pizza shops in new york city. according to new proposed rules from new york city, any business with a coal or wood-fired oven purchased before 2016 would have to attempt to lower carbon emissions by 75%. one way to do that, sandra, would be to purchase filters that could cost $20,000. a lot of pizza shop owners are worried about the costs associated with that and also the possible impact on the tails of their pizza. as you saw a lot of people upset, not just business owners. this protestor at city hall throwing pizza over the gate chantsing give me pizza or give me death. eric adams respond to that. >> let's let the public weigh in and then we can have a
8:52 am
conversation if we will move forward or not. the public can weigh in without throwing pizza over might have gate. >> so the city estimates this is going to impact just 100 or a little bit under 100 new york city pizza shops. again, the cost is certainly something that a lot of business owners are concerned about. new york city mayor eric adams will hold a public virtual meeting coming up on july 27th to discuss how they can make it happen, if they can make happen. >> sandra: mayor adams is defending his love of vegan pizza and he is challenging all to weigh in without throwing pizza over my gate. all right. we'll hear from someone deeply affected by that. nate. thank you. kevin jackson joining us now. general manager of john's in lower manhattan. welcome. how does this affect you?
8:53 am
what is your take on all this? >> good morning. thanks for having me on. i wanted to clear up some confusion about coal. when people think about coal, they think of all this black smoke from the 1800s. all restaurants use a different type of coal. it is a very high carbon, low sulfur and low moisture coal. what it results in is almost a particulate free emission. for coal, i'm sure lawmakers have good intentions with this proposal but coal should not be part of this conversation due to the clean burning and it's really a non-starter as far as coal goes. >> sandra: i think about new york city business owners and restaurateurs and chefs and anybody trying to operate a business in this city. you have regulation and rules
8:54 am
thrown all the time. what now? >> i have been talking with different coal-fired restaurants this week. we have spent a small fortune complying with regulations. now they are looking for us to spend more. we feel like we should be grandfathered in. if you insist on doing the new law we should be grandfathered in because of all the money we've already spent to comply. >> one pizza owner when he was confronting unformed police officers, it was a nitty will confrontation but the boston tea party. this is the new york pizza party. what is your response to that? >> yeah, listen. people are passionate about their pizza. i happen to know who he is. he is who he is. listen, people are passionate. i passed by the store today and you better win this fight. we are going to try to do that. >> sandra: you are a hard
8:55 am
working business owner and phone ringing. pizza orders are probably piling in. our best to you and your business. thank you. love our business owners. thanks so much for watching "the faulkner focus." it's been great to be with you yesterday and today. i will see you this afternoon for "america reports." "outnumbered" will be right after the break.e
