for her getting her job back she loved so much and so deeply resonated with when she talked about the customers she helps. i would love to see more from lowe's. i'm glad they acknowledged her safety. i want a little more from them about how special she is. >> and she is special. you do, donna. she said it's her dream job, god bless her. thank you for watching and dvr us when you can't. "america reports" now. >> john: good news there about the lowe's employee, thank you for that, harris. begin with new information in the case of suspected gilgo beach serial killer rex heuermann. investigators confirming moments ago they have completed their search of his long island home after nearly two weeks. hello, john roberts in washington. sandra, welcome back. >> sandra: great to be back with you, john. sandra smith in new york. "america reports." forensic testing of the evidence seized has only just begun and they still would not confirm whether any of the victims were in fact murdered inside that
10:01 am
home. nate foy is live outside heuermann's home in long island for us. where do things stand right now, nate? >> sandra, this is a pretty active situation right now. i'll ask my photographer neil to show you what's going on. in the past ten minutes, authorities have packed up after 12 straight days of collecting evidence and searching the home of selected serial killer rex heuermann. you see authorities still mulling about. the tape is still up right now but we are told we will have a brief opportunity to get closer to heuermann, behind these authorities. i want to specifically break down some take aways we learned from d.a. tyranny in the news conference. we showed you an excavator, they were using ground penetrating radar as well as cadaver dogs, and he provided some insight as
10:02 am
to what authorities did and did not find in the back yard. listen to this. >> i can tell you that there were -- there was ground piercing technology used in the back yard. and specifically there was nothing of note taken from the back yard as far as remains. >> now, back out here live, sandra, another big thing we have been talking about in recent days is this vault that was found in the basement. the police commissioner rodney harrison described the opening to the vault as a big iron door. we learned 279 guns, specifically that number is new today, were removed from the vault and the d.a. elaborated a little bit about what that vault actually looked like. listen to him here. >> it was a large enough area for people to enter but like the
10:03 am
rest of the house it was cluttered. >> so before the d.a. got here, sandra, we did see authorities bringing some evidence or i guess items would be a better word back into rex heuermann's home. i asked the d.a. if they brought back any guns, he says that they did not. suffolk county police would not confirm what items were brought back here to the home. as for heuermann himself, the 59-year-old remains on suicide watch in a suffolk county jail cell. the sheriff tells us he has shown no emotion whatsoever since his arrest and confirmed moments ago that he still has not had any visitors other than his lawyer since being arrested and of course he has pled not guilty. he's charged with three murders, he's a prime suspect in a fourth murder. i asked the d.a. what is holding up the prosecution or charging him in that fourth case and he said they are still analyzing evidence, so right now they are
10:04 am
packing up at the home, a lot of analysis of trace evidence is still to come, and heuermann is set to appear back in court one week from today. >> sandra: nate foy with the update from massapequa park. thank you. john. >> john: the son of nba superstar lebron james is recovering in a hospital after he went into cardiac arrest during a basketball workout yesterday. according to a spokesperson for the james family, the 18-year-old is out of the intensive care unit and in stable condition. matt finn is live in los angeles with more on this. this is a real shock, matt. >> right now, tmz sports is citing a statement from a family spokesperson who says the 18-year-old son of lebron james suffered some type of cardiac arrest yesterday during practice at usc here in los angeles. a portion of that statement reads yesterday while practicing brony james suffered a cardiac arrest.
10:05 am
medical staff was able to treat brony and take him to the hospital. he is in stable condition and no longer in icu. we ask for respect and privacy for the james family and we will update media when there is more information. fox news reviewed the 911 audio which reviews los angeles fire responded to a call for an unconscious person at usc yesterday morning. l.a. city fire confirms to fox news a call for service was made at that location and time yesterday. the james family spokesperson says lebron james sends his deepest thanks and appreciation to the usc medical staff. activity on both lebron and brony james' social media accounts after the reported time of the 911 call but the posts did not mention anything related to brony's condition. bronny james is listed as 6'3", 181 pounds, extremely talented basketball player like his father, so of course lots of questions mounting about what led up to this young man
10:06 am
suffering this medical episode. l.a. times reports this is the second time in the past year that usc medical staff has responded to a men's basketball player suffering from a cardiac arrest during practice. another player collapsed last summer. he was revived and made a full recovery, john. >> john: they took him to cedar sinai hospital, my un understanding, and no better place to go west of the mississippi for that. we'll be delving more into the shocker coming up a little later on in the program. we have a couple good guests on this. >> sandra: dr. marc siegel and jim gray is on deck and dig into what we are hearing about that and the overall trends. a lot of parents are concerned about the number of times we are hearing about this happening, john. >> john: studies have been done that show that among athletes, basketball players have the highest incident of cardiac
10:07 am
events. we can ask the doc more about that. >> sandra: we will. >> i never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with ukraine, no one has indicated i have. we have always kept everything separate. i've never discussed my business or their business my son's or daughter's. >> you are selling access to the president like he is. >> damn liar, man, that's not true. no one has ever said that. >> do you think it was wrong for him to take that position? knowing that it was really because that company wanted access to you. >> well that's not true. you are saying things you do not know what you are talking about. no one said that. who said that? >> sandra: you remember all those moments over the years president biden repeatedly claimed he was kept completely in the dark regarding his family's lucrative business dealings now the white house seems to be changing their tune a bit, shifting the goal post from no knowledge to no involvement. >> i've been asked this question
10:08 am
a million times, the answer is not going to change. the president was never in business with his son. >> sandra: the white house did change its tune there as hunter's former business partner, devon archer is set to testify next monday, and will reportedly tell lawmakers then vice president biden joined in on dozens of his son's business meetings. we have fox team coverage as we kick off a new hour. katie pavlich is standing by. first to jacqui heinrich. is the white house saying anything further about this shifting message? >> jacqui: not yet, sandra. as you just showed, the president has said all along that he's never spoken with his son about his overseas business deals but now the white house is putting it a little bit differently. first it was ian sams, the spokesman for the white house counsel office and the president was never in business with his
10:09 am
son. i asked him in june why the phrasing was different, and he pointed me to a question in the briefing room karine jean-pierre was asked if it was true the president has never spoken with his son and she said nothing has changed. but now as you just saw in that sound bite, yesterday she started using this line not in business with his son. this subtle shift in messaging is gaining all the more attention because hunter's former business partner, devon archer has agreed to a closed door deposition before house republicans who are seeking clarity on president biden's potential involvement in this. devon archer was previously convicted of securities fraud and sentenced to prison in a separate business venture in which hunter was never charged. >> devon archer is hunter biden's bff, he knows where all the bodies are buried and i believe his testimony will be compelling enough to show joe biden was in the room during discussions and deals. >> house republicans on the
10:10 am
oversight committee think they already know what devon archer is likely to say, pointing to evidence they see as evidence on hunter biden's laptop. >> we know of several instances where joe biden was in direct communication with some business associates you could call them, i call them people who were foreign nationals, sending money through shell companies to the biden family. but at any rate, joe biden was involved in hunter's shady business deals than he admitted. >> jacqui: we are hearing now phrasing from white house officials, we have not heard it from the president. all we have heard along and up until now he's never spoken with his son about his overseas business deals and the white house has broadly ridiculed this probe, sandra. >> sandra: jacqui, thank you. >> john: maybe what karine jean-pierre said was just a trial balloon. katie pavlich, sounds like devon
10:11 am
archer has quite a story to tell to both congress and the grand jury and a story that would appear to be very much in contradiction to what the president has insisted. >> rewind back to june when hunter biden entered guilty pleas, u.s. attorney weiss said they were confused, conflicting statements, his attorneys said they were convinced the five year investigation into hunter had been resolved but weiss's office said it was ongoing. and now we know and devon archer's attorney said he did testify to the grand jury, and they will relay the message to the press what they found out. the key here president joe biden is clearly connected to this in a very intense way, i mean, email traffic on hunter biden's laptop asking for keys for his father to their office space, there are photos of hunter biden's business partners with
10:12 am
the president, vice president, there is countless numbers of evidence showing that joe biden was involved somehow. now we are hearing that devon archer will say that joe biden was maybe not on the phone directly but was on speaker phone when hunter biden was making these phone calls and we do have evidence now in black and white and including in the fbi 1023 form that joe biden was involved in this. so see what the white house continues to say about him not having knowledge or not being in business with his son. >> john: i do a lot of speaker phone phone calls, i'm still on the phone. >> listening in, right. >> john: your take on this, what we were talking about a second ago in terms of the shift between what the president said then and what the white house is saying now. listen here and compare for yourself. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else in the -- having to do with
10:13 am
their business, period. >> i've been asked this question a million times, the answer is not going to change, the president was never in business with his son. >> john: very subtle shift, the president was never in business with his son. he said i never spoke to my son about business. >> and the 2020 campaign trail joe biden got very defensive when it came to these types of questions, he won't answer these types of questions. the white house is changing their narrative just by a couple of words to say it's not he didn't discuss it or hear about it or in the room on a speaker phone but he was not "in business," which actually gives credibility to the argument that james comer has made of the oversight committee and the fd-1023 form from the fbi that joe biden and hunter biden had a number of bank accounts in order to funnel money in a way that was difficult to track. and hunter biden was the vehicle for the biden family to do these deals and then everybody benefitted on behalf of that. >> john: does the white house think we don't notice? >> this is the thing. obvious from the beginning that
10:14 am
this was occurring and things continue to stack up to corroborate from different corners of the allegations of this happening. >> john: kevin mccarthy was on hannity last night, the "i" word. >> i believe we will follow this all the way to the end and will rise to an impeachment inquiry the way the constitution tells us to do this and we have to get the answers to these questions. >> john: last thoughts. you think this is headed in the direction? >> standards is high crimes and misdemeanors, see what the oversight committee comes up with, but in terms of the question of joe biden as vice president using his office to have his son, hunter biden on the board of burisma and then using his office to fire a prosecutor who was investigating that corrupt company which by the way, obama state department was worried about the corruption happening, burisma was asked about it, certainly more grounds for impeachment than president trump asking the new president
10:15 am
of ukraine zelenskyy for some information about maybe some of that corruption that was actually happening. >> john: you can see in the window behind us there are storm clouds over d.c., carrying -- >> ominous. >> john: maybe carrying more than rain. sandra. >> sandra: thank you very much. the federal reserve is holding out on raising interest rates in june but it's not for long. what to expect this time around, the federal reserve meets tomorrow. what does it mean for you and your money? >> this moment will be the moment of something real and fun and inspiring in this god forsaken business and we will do it together. who's coming with me? >> john: quiet quitting, what about loud quitting? what is it and what do employment experts warn or why do employment experts warn it's a bad idea? dan and robert up next on all of that. ap and honors economics in pittsburgh, pennsylvania.

>> everything has gone up, prices have gone up. >> food is up, inflation. >> my check has really increased. 3% with inflation is nothing. >> everything is so high. food is so expensive right now, it's not even funny. hard to make ends meet sometimes. >> sandra: more and more americans say things are not improving with their everyday finances as costs do remain high for the average american family. and now that could be getting worse. interest rates are about to go up yet again. federal reserve is expected to raise rates to tame that inflation to a 22-year high. that would push up borrowing costs for cars, homes, just about everything. danny greenhaus is here and

robert wolf, former obama economic adviser and fox news contributor. robert, you have been optimistic and economists painting the picture a recession is coming, regardless of any of that status, we are still getting word from the average hard working american family that it's still tough out there. prices are still high, the administration says inflation is coming down, which is not the case, the rate of inflation is slowing. so what is it? are things getting better or worse? >> well, things are better but not where we need them to be. i've said all along i don't think we will go into recession. i've equally said i think inflation will have a much longer tail than what the fed expects. once we shift it from durable goods inflation during covid to service sector inflation which is what we are now in in the service sector five times larger than the durable goods, a lot of
10:22 am
those costs will be passed through and we are glad there are higher wages but it's passed through the consumer. it's clear to me the fed will increase this week and probably increase at least another time and i don't see rates coming down at least into 24. >> sandra: ok, so all that is happening people are struggling to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, almost two-thirds of the country, dan. so, can this administration tout that things are going great when we are having to hike interest rates just to get the prices down, and what ultimately does this mean for americans? >> listen, robert is right, things are getting better in the sense inflation is not going up at the rate that it was historically. the problem -- i should say the disconnect between how politicians and economists think about things and the average person they think about inflation in the sense it costs for me to go to the supermarket is higher than a year or two years ago. >> sandra: which is fact. >> undeniable.
10:23 am
and the rate of change as you mentioned in that price increase has slowed down doesn't matter because the basket of goods they are buying in the supermarket or the store or whatever are still high. and your point earlier, the rate of change is coming down, the price level itself, the price of the supermarket basket of goods is not really coming down and that's a big problem for everyday americans. >> sandra: jared bernstein says this on wage growth. listen. >> real wages have actually been growing over the past year. they are up 1.2% for all private sector workers and up 1.6% for middle and lower wage workers. it takes a while for people's sentiment to catch up to those new trends, especially given everything they have been through. >> sandra: a quick fact check there, wage growth is negative, it's down 3% per our brain room pulled the stats. trans union survey says household changes in the last th three months, robert, cutting back on discretionary spending.

[bleep] manage it and [bleep] this job, i quit. >> i don't think this job is for me so i am quitting. you have been awesome, everyone has been awesome. >> are you serious? >> sandra: so this is a new trend, robert. what's your reaction to some employees they get so fed up with their bosses, rather than quiet quitting, they go to the job every day but don't do anything, they are turning to
10:25 am
social media now to quit in a much more vocal and viral way. is this ok? >> i think it's dumb and it's short sighted. most people stay in the same industry and/or profession. they are often asked from their prior employer for a reference or called without knowing they are asking for the reference and it does not make sense to me. i think that they'll go back and see how using social media to give their views, i just think is very short sighted, and they should move on in the most professional way. >> sandra: publicly undermining your company, maybe h.r. executives are saying you might want to think twice about that, dan. >> i think robert is giving -- >> sandra -- sorry. we used to say that -- we used to say the house is bigger than the man. many years ago on wall street, and you know, if you kind of, you know, try to really take

10:36 am
in front of the senate armed services committee he stated yes, we do not have enough missiles, ground-based launch missiles in that area to push back against china and protect taiwan and our own interests in that region. >> john: and what, a range of 500 to 3,000 miles? >> right, absolutely. if we can pull together here in congress to make sure we are supporting this effort we do bolster again not other the defense of taiwan but our other partners in the region which thus strengthens the united states. >> john: i was trying to find it today, i could not find it, five years ago i read a military academic analysis of china's missile capability and the fellow who wrote the paper said china would have the capability to literally wipe out our pacific fleet in 3 to 5 days. >> absolutely. >> john: with the current missile advantage, leave taiwan a sitting duck and rob us of our
10:37 am
projection of power in the western pacific. >> that is true and senator gallagher and i want to focus on the effort because so many others are focussing on the need for the fleet, but this is also part of a networked defense for taiwan, and a way that we can show china that we are paying attention to our partners and allies in that region. >> in addition to your concern about the indo-pacific and western pacific, also fraud in the sba loans during covid. you've introduced legislation to root out fraud in that program. >> yes, absolutely. what we have seen from covid and moving forward through the small business administration we have seen over $200 billion of fraud being pushed out, $200 billion of fraud. $3 million went to people, one in particular, a fraudster, a
10:38 am
convicted fraudster got $3 million to support his lifestyle. another gentleman who was behind bars claimed to have a food truck that he got $50,000 for. we see gangs, felons, fraudsters getting all the paycheck protection program money and loans through the sba. so what we are doing is pushing legislation in the small business committee that would enable us to go after those fraudsters. we have got to do better for our taxpayers and this is one way to did it. >> john: it's a shame a lot of people took advantage of that program. i think the intentions were valid. >> they were good, they were good. >> john: and helped a lot of businesses stay afloat but lined the pockets of others. senator, it's great to see you. if we don't see you before the august recess -- >> thanks, john. >> sandra: the son of nba star lebron james is recovering now we are told in a hospital after he experienced a cardiac arrest. what could have caused this in

i've always had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep— you know, insomnia. but then i found quviviq, an fda-approved medication for adults with insomnia. and i'm glad i found it. you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks. my friend's white-noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the... carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery
10:43 am

university of southern california yesterday when it happened. dr. marc siegel is joining us now. good to have you here. a lot of focus and folks watching what happened. 18 years old, an incoming freshman, at basketball practice, 9:30 in the morning and he loses consciousness, they call 911, they take him to the hospital, he's out of icu. what the heck is an 18-year-old kid suffering from cardiac arrest for. >> i'll get to that, tremendous news he's out of icu, the second time over the past year something like this happened to somebody at usc basketball practice. obviously it's not contagious but points out something the cdc has brought up, which is 2,000 young athletes under the age of 25 die every year of sudden cardiac arrest around bronny's age, it's about one out of 50,000 athletes. now, why would that be? and he's not going to die, he's going to survive likely and
10:45 am
probably because of rapid response and cpr administered in the first 1 to 2 minutes and defibrillators on the court, all of this is dramatic improvements how we approach this. but why is it happening? the most likely cause is something hyper trophiy myocardopathy, i'm not saying he had it but that's usually the cause. if i can't pick it up with the ekg, i find it with the cardiac echo. >> sandra: if he wasn't having symptoms you would not check for that. >> i do it in my practice, i believe that anyone, i'm not saying he did or didn't have this, anyone that's going to go on the court and john pointed out this is the number one risk, basketball, you know why, you are going from 0 to 60 in ten seconds but you have seen many basketball games, you are standing still and then zoom running at 100 miles an hour,
10:46 am
jumping for the basketball. >> sandra: like track and field. >> exactly, your heart is under tremendous strain, it beats rapidly suddenly. i want to know who is at risk. i would treat a 18-year-old like a 30-year-old and i treat all 30-year-olds with the ekg. one out of 50,000 chance if you are a young athlete it could happen. >> sandra: he's a top recruit. any implications whether or not he should play in the future? >> great, great question. it depends on what caused it. they have to get to the bottom of what caused it. if it's congenital or structural heart disease that might be a reason he wouldn't go on to the nba. it depends on what's going on underneath this. if it's -- look, with demar hamlin it was trauma, he got hit in the chest. he may have a full recovery. this situation, we need to know
10:47 am
what the heart looks like. >> sandra: i'm sure they are doing through all right now, and damar hamlin reached out to the family and the parents are thankful he's on the recovery. >> looks like he will recover. dramatic response on the part of the people that intervened. >> sandra: absolutely, they acted fast. thank you so much, dr. siegel. we'll have more on that coming up with jim gray next hour. >> john: also got him to a good hospital quickly as well. presidential hopeful ron desantis looking for another campaign reboot as his poll numbers slide. what can he do to regain some of of the momentum on the campaign trail? special report anchor bret baier will be here on that. >> sandra: questions remain over the tragic drowning death of former president obama's chef from the martha's vineyard mansion? the latest on that next.

10:51 am
identified a paddleboarder whose body was found in a pond on martha's vineyard near the home of former president barack obama. investigators say the man was 45-year-old tafari campbell who
10:52 am
worked as a personal chef and visiting the area at the time of his death. latest on the tragedy and he was a swimmer, fell off the paddleboard and never resurfaced. brian. >> yeah, john, it is puzzling, the water is shallow and close to the shore and particularly clear. but behind me is the edgartown great pond, where rescue divers discovered tafari campbell shortly before 10:00 a.m. yesterday, he had been missing for 14 hours and a pond that is directly behind the obama's 29-acre $12 million estate here on martha's vineyard, using boats equipped with side scan sonar, divers found campbell's body in eight feet of water 100 feet from the shore. the first 911 call came in on
10:53 am
sunday, a paddleboarder was on the surface before he submerged. another paddleboarder also observed him go under the water. here is rescuers describing campbell. >> heading to wilson's landing. >> african american male on a paddleboard, no life preserver, recovered the board as well as the hat, no life preserver. >> a local we spoke to says he witnessed at least helicopters searching the water. he's lived on this pond for 20 years. the last drowning we found dated back to 2016. >> it virtually never happens. the pond is very, very safe. it's very calm. it's not tidal, and it's very shallow. and so this was quite unusual. i don't remember another incident of a death or drowning in the pond.
10:54 am
in the ocean that's a different story. >> we don't know how strong of a swimmer campbell was but in 2019 posted a video of himself doing swimming laps in a pool with the # progress, two years before that he posted a photo in the water with a # still can't swim. he served as the sous chef in the white house for more than a decade before obama, and back out here the former president and former first lady were not at the residence at the time of the incident. john. >> john: so if he did seem to have the ability to swim, he clearly learned in the last few years, do authorities suspect that something else may have happened, might he have had a medical problem when he went in the water? >> yeah, we have been asking these questions for a day now. massachusetts state police is handling this investigation. they have not given us any answers to those questions yet.
10:55 am
>> john: a shame about all of this, bryan. thank you. >> sandra: live to capitol hill where kevin mccarthy is now speaking, might be taking questions on the impeachment call. dip in here and listen. >> giving congress the full power to get the information they need. it's the way people should go about investigating. so let me put yourselves in our place doesn't matter who is in the majority or not. you have somebody who went to the fbi, had a 1023, a form they talk about, who says this is a form the fbi continues to use, heard there were payments to bribe allegedly the vice president at the time, that the bribe would be hard to follow because there was shell companies that it would take you years to get through it. that was one allegation. we have a president who told the american public in october that he's never spoken to his family
10:56 am
about any of the business. he said no one in the family had ever gotten money from china. well, now that is proven not to be correct. we now have irs whistleblowers come forth saying that the justice department used their power differently than david weiss or garland has said to the american people and to congress and senate. they also said that we all know the statute of limitations ran out for the most serious part when it comes to the biden family on taxes. but the irs whistleblower who when asked questions in the hearing said no, it was on the table to extend that. so the statute of limitations wouldn't run out. and david weiss had to go. so now you have the president saying one thing that we know is not true, you have irs whistleblowers saying something when it comes to government
10:57 am
treating the bidens different, you've got an informant claiming that the biden family had been bribed. should you ignore that, or should you investigate that? the only way you can investigate that is through an impeachment inquiry so the committee would have the power to get all the documents that they would need. what i said last night and i continue, i said it before. when more of this continues to unravel, it rises to the level of impeachment inquiry where you would have the congress to have the power to get to all these answers. i would think the biden family would want to answer these questions as well, provide the documents instead of holding them back. we are watching this administration use government much like richard nixon denying us to get the information we
10:58 am
need. >> impeachment -- how would you respond to democrat's contention the 1023 was in the possession of the justice department during the trump administration under attorney general barr and they found it not to be credible enough to move forward. >> not true, not true. if you listen to what barr came forward, barr said he moved the 1023 when he found out about it to the, i believe it was the philadelphia, the department of the justice department. that justice department came back and said that, and don't quote me because i have to get the right terms what they said, but they said there was more merit and more information. when have you found a justice department of attorneys define more information than the fbi, fbi did nothing with it. we have now found from the irs agents, the whistleblowers who came forth, that they were denied this document while they were investigating. not only were they denied the
10:59 am
document when they had a meeting and they are going to talk about it, they asked to be a part of it and they were denied to be there. now that raises lots of questions. you never want people to question that type of thing. you want to be forthcoming, so what an impeachment inquiry does, gives us the apex of the power of congress for republicans and democrats to gather the information that they need. so when we are continuing that you raise a question like this, wondering what's right or wrong, you would want the truth as well just as you are covering it for the american public, what that provides is the american public has a right to know and this allows congress to get the information to be able to know the truth. >> what do you say to the moderates in your party who say you appease the right wing on many issues. >> such as what? >> on, talking about impeachment inquiry on president biden, appropriations, on a long list of things. >> well, i don't know, because you haven't quoted anybody, you
11:00 am
just say something, you say you frame some brand of something, but let me answer your question very forthful and truthful on this. i have nothing to do about -- this is about america and i raise to you, i watch you on tv you write every day about covering government. so right now you have a president who told you and every other american that he's never talked to his family about business and they never got $1 from china. you now know that's not true. you have a president while he was vice president that got 16 out of 17 payments from romania while he was president. you now had never known that before he was elected but you now have a document that the fbi had that didn't further investigate, even though the justice department said there was merit, that said they were bribed and told they had to run through shell companies, you never knew about but now you know there are shell
