northeast are now urging customers to conserve electricity as this heat wave persists. we have fox team coverage of these sizzling temperatures. coming up our meteorologist in the fox weather center. we begin live in new york city, those hot streets in central park. to you. >> hi, molly, yeah, this is the third day of oppressive heat for millions of americans. you know, while there may be some relief in sight, these daytime temps are just not letting up. the heat wave that's been impacting the southwest finally expanded into the plains, midwest, mid-atlantic, and northeast. across the country, there are temps in the 90s, and in other areas, high humidity is making it feel like it's at least 100 degrees or hotter. today there are still heat alerts in at least 26 states, and people have to rely on ac to stay cool, keeping power grid operators on high alert. in fact, the nation's largest electric grid operator serves a bulk of the east coast and

midwest issued emergency alert this week with demand expected to peak yesterday on friday. there's a dual threat of heat and severe storms in some states. more than 300,000 people lost power in the great lakes. that line of storms is expected to push toward the northeast, i-95 corridor, and that could bring rounds of thunderstorms, stretching from virginia to massachusetts. this weather expected, though, to finally drop temps after people have spent the past few days in oppressive heat. >> it's getting warmer, but it's been very pleasant here, even if the weather is so warm, the water seems to be a cooling effect. it is very unpleasant. it is not good for anybody, especially seniors, which i'm in that category. >> people in the northeast are more than ready for some cooler weather. i can tell you that after covering this high heat for the past three days. there may also be some relief in sight for the southwest too, molly. the national weather service predicting some rain in the

forecast could possibly break the streak of 110 days -- degree days that phoenix has been having. back to you. >> that is super steamy. thank you very much for braving the heat for us today, cb cotton, appreciate it. griff? >> all right. for more on the sweltering heat and the severe storms in parts of the country, let's head to the fox weather center where meteorologist adam klotz has a check of your latest forecast. adam, i think cb calling it oppressive might be mild about it. it is really hot out there. >> adam: yeah, you're absolutely right, griffin. it is still fairly early in the day and looking at oppressive temperatures across the country. we will heat up over the next several hours. across the country, widespread plenty of spots in the 80s. a lot of 90s out there particularly in the southern tier of the country and running up the east coast at least approaching 90 degrees early today. we know the heat of the day is still several hours away. no surprise there that we see this really large area under all of these heat alerts, stretching

from the plains down across really the mississippi delta and including the mid-atlantic. that's an area where maybe the heat doesn't last as long, but these temperatures do climb in a really big way. your forecasted highs on the day, some of these spots i was showing you temperatures in the 90s. that jumps up to triple digits if it was in the 80s, expect it to at least climb up in the 90s, 93 kansas city, 93 new york city today, 95 in atlanta. so tens and tens of millions of folks will be battling heat. those heat advisories stretch across portions of the mid-atlantic and east coast including areas like boston where the excessive heat seems like it won't quit. one more day of it anyway as we're going to eventually see a little bit of a frontal system move through, but for today, your forecasted highs there in the 90s. big drop-off for you tomorrow. that's the good news if you are looking forward. 93 degrees today in new york city. 83 degrees tomorrow in new york city. some cooler air will be funneling in along that cold front that could bring some

thunderstorms still warm but just much more seasonable as you go into sunday and monday. temperatures getting back to where they should be. now, there is not relief if you live across portions of the south, temperatures today climbing there into the mid 90s, up close to 100. i run you through the next couple of days there. you don't get that same break in the heat that folks across the eastern half of the country are going to see. again temperatures running up close to 100 degrees with the heat indices, it will feel warmer with sunday into monday. temperatures still hanging on there into triple digits, running up to 100 degrees, all the way into tuesday, so griff, there is some good news there, and that's if you live on the east coast, a bit of a cooldown, but the folks who have been battling weeks and weeks oppressive heat across portions of texas, the gulf coast, no end in sight. >> griff: we could use that break in the heat. i was doing reports all week long in wilmington and washington sweating the entire time. adam klotz live for us in the weather center.

thank you. molly? president biden for the first time is publicly acknowledging his 7th grandchild navy. the 4-year-old girl was fathered by the president's son hunter in 2018. meanwhile, hunter is now admitting he made nearly $700,000 from his association with a company backed by the chinese communist party, directly contradicting his father's previous claims. now, we have lucas tomlinson digging into this. he's live in washington with the latest. lucas, do we know why the president is acknowledging his granddaughter now? >> well, molly, she does celebrate a birthday next month. she will be turning 5. perhaps that's the reason. or it follows of course that "new york times" column earlier this month telling the president to count to 7. the president did an about face yesterday officially recognizing the 7th grand child in a proclamation to people magazine about hunter's out of wedlock child navy. that means we could see a

seventh stocking above the fireplace at the white house at christmas. the president saying quote our son hunter and navy's mother london are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interest of their daughter, preserving their privacy as much as possible going forward. this is not a political issue. it is a family matter. jill and i only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including navy. now, recall hunter was kicked out of the navy in 2014 for testing positive for cocaine. navy's mother used to dance here in washington molly under the stage name dallas when they met. it was hunter biden though facing misdemeanor charges for failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars of money received from overseas sources, when his father was vice president taking center stage in delaware this week. there you can see hunter walking into the courtroom. hunter and his attorneys thought they were going in for a quick five minute plea deal in and out. instead it stretched three hours. hearing unravelled when the judge asked the prosecutor in essence does hunter have immunity for other charges? the prosecutor said yes. the judge did not like that answer and said see you guys

next month. hunter will have to return to court august 25th. tax attorneys say most americans would be looking at three to five years in jail for charges like this, molly. now, according to the court transcript, hunter acknowledged something of his own, that he made $664,000 from a chinese company, but apparently without his father's knowledge. recall the president made the following claim in a debate with donald trump. >> my son has not made money in terms of this thing about what are you talking about china. >> now, former hunter biden business associate devin archer is expected to testify before congress about the president's role, if any, on monday, in a closed session. molly? >> yeah, a big week in court, but looking ahead to monday, will devin archer's testimony be open to the public? will there be tv cameras? >> it will not look like the testimony from the irs whistle-blowers from a few weeks ago, this will be a closed session with a fancy washington

word for behind closed doors, molly, so -- but perhaps we'll get a transcript. those things do tend to leak in this town. molly? >> leaks, we will be looking for all of your reporting in the coming week ahead. we appreciate it. lucas tomlinson keeping us up to date and untangling that for us. griff? >> griff: thank you. for more on this, joining us live is republican congressman from texas and member of that house oversight committee pat fallon. let me pick up where lucas left off. you are on the oversight committee. you will get devin archer before you behind closed doors. i will ask you the same question that molly asked lucas, which is is there a chance that the public will find out what archer says to you guys? >> oh, yeah, absolutely, griff. we're going to have a transcribed interview. as soon as the transcript is done, it will be released publicly. you know, it is very important because the question that we're trying to ask in the oversight committee is we know that hunter biden is, you know, engaged in

criminal activity and is corrupt, but is his father? i mean, is the president of the united states, national security risk? is he compromised? that is a question that we have to ask, and right now all the evidence leads to the fact that they were in cahoots and hunter was his back man. >> griff: congressman, i was the reporter in wilmington. it was unbelievable. i have never seen anything like it covering the court cases i have covered in the past where a plea deal, and remember, this was a tax evasion two small misdemeanor charges unravelled in realtime, and it was because judge noreika was pressing the prosecution about whether there was an ongoing investigation pertaining to hunter's overseas business dealings and obviously that we now know. i watched it happen when he pressed about the chinese payments of over $600,000. but when she asked specifically the prosecution if he could be charged with things like a violation, the foreign agent

registration act? he said yes, that's when the defense said whoa, we're out. we're done. no sir. no deal here. and then from there, it went down. now, of course she hasn't rejected it totally. they've got 30 days to get back on the constitutionality issue of the diversion on the gun charge. but i don't want to confuse our viewers. specifically as we talk about possible these charges coming, how do you see it? >> well, yeah, that's what hunter biden's lawyers wanted. they were after blanket immunity. it looks as if he was engaged in, you know, activity that should have been registered as a foreign agent because burisma ceo wanted to come to the united states and wanted to get a visa and was having a problem with getting a visa. hunter acted on his behest and on his behalf and really trying to call to the powers of heaven and earth and move them so he could get into the united states. that never came to fruition, but i believe that hunter also not only did -- was he engaged in influence peddling and access

but also i think he violated the fara act as well. >> griff: i don't want to give away your cards too much, but what do you want to ask specifically of devin archer? >> well, i specifically am very interested in what happened in ukraine was he was hunter's former best friend both sitting on the board of burisma. the american ambassador to ukraine gave a speech in september 2015 saying that he was corrupt, and by name mentioned the head of burisma, and suddenly hunter has a phone call in december. this is very interesting. they had a conference call where archer was present, and burisma was present and hunter was present because they were sitting on the board where he said to his father, called joe biden and said dad, they need our support, meaning burisma, boy did joe biden deliver. he flew to eukraine. he said i want prosecutor fired. i'm withholding a billion dollars worth of aid.

four homes were seized, two plots of land and a rolls-royce. he was then fired, and then joe biden released the billion dollars of aid to ukraine. you tell me that doesn't sound a little fishy. >> griff: congressman, i want to ask you if you think there's been a change in tone at the white house from the early days when even president biden himself was saying he was not aware of his son's dealings. now, the official line coming from the podium from jean pierre appears to be the president was not involved in business dealings. do you see a change in tone? >> there's no doubt about it because joe biden, remember, griff, in 2019, said i have no -- he built this firewall where he said i have no idea what my son is doing. i have no knowledge of his business dealings, but then in debate said he didn't take any money from china. if he doesn't know what his son is doing how does he he didn't take money from chai? of course he ended up yes he did. he's given tours of the white house with hunter biden's business associates, dinner with them, at least 2,000 phone calls

with them. clearly he was deeply involved and got caught in a lie. >> griff: congressman, we are about out of time. i want to ask you about the other story i have been covering. that's of course three new charges against former president trump and the mishandling of classified documents case out of florida. your reaction there? >> i think the prosecutor is just watering it down at this point. i mean, the american people want to move on, and i think this is absolutely evidence of a two tiered justice system. griff? >> griff: is there a problem as the "wall street journal" points out this week, they are saying that the former president's original line about the indictments was that he had the right to classify anything that he wanted to -- declassify, excuse me, but now he's being accused of trying to delete surveillance video, do you see a problem in those two things? >> well, you know, we do know that the president -- current president to the united states, while they are still in office, can declassify nearly everything, except for nuclear

secrets and a couple other things, but -- so president trump had that authority. you know, now they are accusing him of basically obstruction, but see the evidence. that's what we have -- that's why we have a justice system and president trump will be able to face his accuser. >> griff: let's see the evidence. texas congressman, thank you very much. we look forward to the hearing on monday. thanks for taking time on saturday. >> thanks, griff, god bless. take care. >> griff: molly? >> from the other side of the aisle, we have democratic congressman from california and a member of the house intelligence and foreign affairs committee joining us now. thank you, sir, so much for giving us a little time on this saturday afternoon. we really appreciate it. it's been a fascinating week as far as the courts are concerned and some legal drama. i want to get to all that. but i want to look ahead. we're talking about devin archer, business partner of hunter biden's, expected to go there before congress on monday.

we won't be able to see it live on camera, but it is likely we will hear what happened and what occurred inside. republicans seem to think this is going to be a very worthwhile appearance on the part of mr. am mr. archer -- archer. i want to get your thoughts on what potentially may hear monday and what it means >> thanks for having me on. i was listening to the texas congressman there, i think he said it best let the legal process take place, whether it's hunter biden or president trump. let it play out. again, it sounds like the transcripts will be released, and then we'll react as we have to to the information that comes out. >> republicans have for years now really attempted to delve into connections between president biden and his son hunter and potentially trying to link what the president may have known or influence regarding hunter biden and business deals previously made. we saw in court just this past

week on wednesday what appeared to be what some have called the sweet heart deal, an unusual deal in which the terms may have led to a no prosecution on certain agreements regarding hunter biden and diversion treatments, and more specifically what the judge seemed to be really confused about was why there was a deal made regarding these weapons charges, and she's seeking more information broadly on that. your thoughts on what should have been a short hearing seemingly falling apart, that the agreement didn't seem to quite be there between the defense and the prosecutors, and then things didn't seem to be clearly communicated the judge either. that leaves us where we are now. your thoughts? >> again, i think hunter biden probably did make some mistakes. obviously there was a plea arrangement in place. the judge asked some questions, and it sounds like she's asked the prosecution as well as the defense to go back and negotiate

and try to come back and try to work something out. again, i don't sense there's anything nefarious here. i think it is just the legal process taking place. again, if i were advising president trump, i would say meet with the prosecutors as well and try to work something out here. it's not good for the country. >> well, it's funny when we talk about president trump, there is that also additional timing potentially, another indictment coming. i want to get your thoughts, some republicans have argued this is all a distraction, the timing of this is no coincidence and that it is ultimately unfair. your thoughts on what's been accused here is that hunter biden is getting a treatment that other americans wouldn't get, special treatment, and here you say president trump on the other side of the aisle being treated differently and more harshly, and do you view this as coincidence or not? >> no, i don't -- i think hunter biden is being treated the way

every other american would. you get an attorney. you would try to work something out. you would try to come up with a plea deal. again, i think every effort was made by the national archives, by the justice department to get those classified documents back, and for the life of me, i don't understand why president trump just didn't return these classified documents. i'm on the intelligence committee, and i know how dangerous it is if our adversaries get their hands on war plans, on classified information. we're very careful in how we handle those documents because again, these are the nation's greatest secrets, and, you know, i think president trump did mishandle them, and again, i'm not sure why he didn't just return them. >> well, one of the things that is a big concern right now in d.c., d.c. police appear to be preparing for this potential, possible additional trump indictment. unrelated the document case that we're seeing down in mar-a-lago, but related to january 6th. do you have concerns about

another potential indictment and how americans might view that? president trump was in iowa. he's been out on the campaign trail, rousing applause there on broad swath of g.o.p. candidates, he seems to have support across the country and many americans feel he's being untreated in multiple courts. >> look, we're a polarized country. we're divided politically, and, you know, i think that's the biggest danger to this country, and again, i would let the legal process take place. you know, it would be my hope that the trump team and the justice department can work something out so you don't have to go through a lengthy trial and we actually start trying to heal this country. again, a long trial of the former president probably isn't going to start that healing process. >> yeah. it is interesting to hear you talk about trials. we may now see now this this plea deal that hunter biden seemingly had failed on

wednesday. we will see if there's a trial there to watch as well. congressman, thank you very much for coming on and giving us a little of your time. we appreciate it. griff? >> thanks, molly. you're welcome. >> griff: the alabama woman who admits lying to police about being kidnapped after disappearing for two days now facing criminal charges. the details next. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. yaaay! woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ feeling ughh from a backed up gut? miralax works naturally with the water in your body to help you go... ...free your gut. and your mood will follow. for 8 grams of fiber, try new mirafiber gummies. >> woman: why did we choose safelite? we were loading our suv when... crack! safelite came right to us, and we could see exactly when they'd arrive with a replacement we could trust.

>> griff: g.o.p. presidential hopefuls are making their case to republicans in iowa with 13 candidates sharing the stage last night at the influential lincoln dinner. each receiving a different level of applause, and even some with boos. bill melugin is live in des moines tracking the latest campaign 2024 developments. what's going on, bill? >> hey, griff, it was a total sellout crowd here in des moines last night as the 13 g.o.p. candidates descended upon the lincoln dinner trying to make their pitch to voters. we will get right into the video and show you the start of that dinner. iowa's very popular republican governor kim reynolds got up on stage and spoke first. many of these candidates are seeking her endorsement. she has not endorsed anybody yet. but we will get into what the ads had to say starting with will hurd, former texas congressman. he got up on stage and blasted former president trump saying

he's not running to make america great again. that giving him the nomination would put biden back in the white house, and then he made this comment which got him a lot of boos. take a listen. >> donald trump is running to stay out of prison. and if we elect -- [booing] >> i know. i know. i know. listen, i know the truth -- the truth is hard. >> now, when president trump got on stage, he didn't take his time to respond to will hurd. instead he said the afghanistan withdrawal under biden was the most embarrassing moment in u.s. history. he rattled off poll numbers which he says shows him beating joe biden and ron desantis losing to joe biden. then he went after governor desantis. take a listen. >> well, desantis is losing to biden in all cases. i wouldn't take a chance on that one. i'm leading in the primary polls by 50 and 55 percent against him

and others. that poll just came out where i'm leading in iowa. we love iowa, by 34 points. >> now, when governor desantis got on stage, he did not go after donald trump. instead he decided to try to focus on policy and what he says his achievements were running the state of florida. the audience seemed to like his comments about what he would do as president about the southern border. take a listen. >> i pledge to be the president to finally solve the issue of the southern border. we're sending the military to the border. yes, we will build a border wall. and we will use deadly force against the mention cab drug cartels because -- mexican drug cartels because i'm sick of them poisoning our kids, sick of them killing our citizens, and sick of them trafficking people into this country. that ends on january 20th, 2025. [applause] >> and that was one of the bigger round of applauses that the candidates got last night.

another candidate who got a big round of applause was vivek ramaswamy who made a comment that in 2024, he's not looking for reform. what he's looking for, he said, is revolution. and that got him a big round of applause from the crowd as well. griff, back to you. >> griff: all right, bill melugin getting a first-hand look at the lincoln dinner. things are heating up on the campaign trail. thank you very much, bill. molly? >> molly: carley russell, the alabama woman who admitted to staging her own kidnapping is now facing charges for the hoax. hoover police held a news conference yesterday highlighting the panic and the alarm that carlee caused all across the nation. senior correspondent steve harrigan has the details on this. to you. >> molly, russell now faces two misdemeanor charges for giving false reports to police, both of those charges could carry up to one year in prison. police chief in hoover, alabama was visibly angry during the

press conference. he said he would charge her with more, if the law allowed him to. >> her decisions that night created panic and alarm for the citizens of our city and even across the nation, as a concern grew that a kidnapper was on the loose using a small child as bait. >> russell's attorney said that she admitted that her story was completely false, that there was no abduction, no toddler and she never left the city of hoover, alabama. the attorney general said the two-day search for her placed a strain on law enforcement resources. >> we don't see this as a victimless crime. there are significant hours spent, resources expended as a result of this investigation, and not only that, but the many men and women who are civilians that wore those yellow vests on a hot afternoon and evening looking for someone they thought was abducted. >> still no why here yet, why

russell created this story. she turned herself into police on friday and was released on $2,000 bond. molly, back to you. >> molly: yeah, steve harrigan, thank you very much. social media was so invested in this. people all across the country trying to find her, and the outcome ultimately, many were so happy she was found and was alive, they were very disheartened to see the charges coming. steve harrigan thank you for the update. appreciate it. griff? >> griff: we're getting staggering new numbers out on the toll russia's war on ukraine is having on that nation's children. the heart breaking story after the break. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv

stands today? >> only officially, russians illegally deported 19,000 ukrainian children to russia. and when we speak about deported children, we speak about different groups. the children who were deported with their parents, the children from state institutions like orphanage, and also the children whose parents were arrested or killed by russians, and they were also deported, now subjected to forcible abduction, regardless the fact that they have parents under russian arrest or relatives who are waiting for them to return home. >> molly: it's horrific. it is one of the most heart breaking aspects of this war as it continues to unfold as this impact on the children. i want to talk about why you're doing this. you're gathering all of this information, but it's about more than just recording things for history; right? >> because first and foremost, we are all human beings, and we

can't be indifferent to human suffering and to genocide when one nation try to commit against another nation. we document this russian war crimes not just for national archives, for the history. i respect historians, but i'm a human rights lawyer, and i document these crimes to have all russian criminals accountable sooner or later. >> molly: do you have hope that someone or in particular putin would be ultimately held responsible in this? president biden has ordered his administration to begin sharing information about what's happening there in ukraine with the hague-based international criminal court. do you have hope that one day there actually will be justice? >> i have no doubt because i know based on my own experience when you can't rely on the law, you can still rely on people. and this demand of justice is

a number. >> you are telling the judiciary committee today you don't know what that number is? >> mr. chairman, what i'm sharing with you is that we will provide you with whatever data you request. >> griff: tensions running high at a house judiciary committee hearing this week as republicans accused secretary mayorkas of lying about the situation at our southern border and withholding information from the committee, this as calls to impeach the head of homeland security grow louder. for more on this, tom homan is joining us now. he is a fox news contributor and former acting i.c.e. director. thank you for taking time. i want to pick up really with congressman gaetz question there, 2 million leased in the country. -- released in the country. he wanted to know how many have been deported. i want to know what happens to the millions of people that are caught and released in this country? >> the reason he's not answering is that number is pretty close to zero. he has said for those that don't

qualify for asylum, they will be immediately deported. i have friends at i.c.e. they are not looking for these people. what people need to understand nine out of ten by average in last ten years of data, nine out of ten that claim asylum at the border. he is releasing thousands of people knowing they don't qualify. mayorkas has said being in the country illegally alone. will make you this promise, griff, president trump is coming back. i'm coming back. under his leadership, we will run the most historic, the largest deportation operation this country has ever seen because these people aren't deported, then 90 percent get ordered removal. if they are not deported, then the system means nothing. they have to shut down immigration courts too. so my message to the millions they are releasing, don't get too comfortable because the trump administration will come looking for you. >> griff: what's happening with them? as you know, i have been down to the border, along with my

colleague bill melugin and others and we see them caught and released in great numbers not just from folks from guatemala, honduras, from china, from all over the place, they are not being deported. let's work from the 2 million number. what's happening to them? what are they doing >> they lose their immigration case. since they are not being de detained, they are in the wind. the homeland security life cycle report which is the secretary's own report says this if you are in detention, if if you get ordered removal you are ordered 99.7 percent of the time. if they are not detained like they are now, 6 percent. they are releasing millions in the country. if they don't detain them, they won't leave. they know what they are doing. this isn't mismanagement. this isn't incompetence. it is by design. let millions in and make it

impossible for i.c.e. to arrest and deport them. it is coming. under the trump administration, we're coming. we will have the biggest deportation operation in this country ever seen. >> griff: you have mentioned former president trump. now democrat congressman at that hearing had this to say. >> the facts show that the southern border is doing better last month than it was under trump in may 2019. thank you, secretary mayorkas for your public service and now the republicans want to impeach you? good luck with that one. >> griff: tom, your reaction to that? >> very misleading. in 2019 there was a surge but end of 2019, 2020, president trump had the lowest illegal immigration numbers in the history of the nation. unprecedented. illegal immigration was down 83 percent. sometimes 90 percent depending on what time frame you look at. illegal immigration a 45-year low. now we're at -- the border patrol is arresting 4 to 5,000 a day. mayorkas is bringing thousands to port of entry.

if you add them together, they are like 8, 9,000 a day, which are historic numbers. and even mayorkas when he was deputy secretary, under obama, when we had a thousand illegal entries a day, secretary johnson called us in and said what is going on? we have a thousand illegal entries what are we doing about it? it is a crisis. now we got three to four times as many of that. now the secretary says this is a success story. no, it is 400 percent more than you had when you were deputy secretary. it is a thousand times more than it was when president trump ended his reign. i mean 2020 was the most historic illegal immigration reduction this country has ever seen under president trump. >> griff: we shall see if the house republicans move to impeach him. tom homan, as always, great insight in setting the numbers straight for us. tom, have a great weekend. molly? >> thanks for having me. >> molly: here in massachusetts, some sobering new numbers out about the number of great white sharks spotted off the cape cod. those details just ahead.

>> molly: shocking snud di showing one -- shocking new study showing one of the world's largest great white shark hot spots right here in the u.s. according to researchers, more than 800 individual great whites visited the waters off of cape cod, between the years of 2015

and 2018. this marks the first ever population estimate for great white sharks in the north atlantic. scientists say while the risk of shark attacks is low, the increased presence of white sharks off of cape cod highlights the need for ongoing research and public safety initiatives. so the folks that study the sharks have a lot of sharks to study there in the cape. griff, i hear you're a friend of sharks. >> griff: i love seeing sharks. the study is fantastic news. it is just here in the north atlantic that the great white shark population is growing. that means conservation efforts are getting better. you've been out on one of these expeditions where they are studying them and tagging these. what do you make of it? >> molly: yeah, you know, it was more than 10 years ago i had a chance to go out on a vessel with really the shark guy, the shark scientist for the northeast. he was one of the early adapters, one of the first people to continue with the shark tagging which has enabled them partly, at least to some extent, to track this population

and to see how it's grown. what's interesting about the study is it dates back a few years. so we know that the sharks were there in these great numbers back in 2015, 16, 17, 18. we know they are there today because you can even download the app and get your shark alerts and be aware of it. one of the things i find so interesting is that their numbers can peak in the later summer and early fall. something to look forward to here in the continuing summer. >> griff: that means i still have time to go out there and swim with them in case i get the opportunity to do so. great stuff there. meanwhile, iowa hosted some of the biggest names in the 2024 g.o.p. presidential field last night. what they told potential voters about their vision for america. we've got that at the top of the hour. stick with us. we will be back.
