impersonation, sandra. >> sandra: hope the voice bounces back. the president is about to tout economic success, i'm sandra smith. this is "america reports". the president is kicking off the three-coast west coast swing at the grand canyon, see him visit 2024 battleground states and show the impact of the massive climate and spending legislation. >> john: his push to go green by not be sitting so well with americans right now. gas prices are steadily rising during one of the busiest travel seasons of the year. >> sandra: fox team coverage kicks off now, jeff flock on how the president is targeting household appliances with his climate policies. >> john: peter doocy is travelling with the president in albuquerque, new mexico, and does the biden white house, peter, think that green energy is going to be a winner for them? >> they do, john. but they would be wrong, according to a new post, a new

washington post survey of adults that finds 57% of those polled disapprove of the way this president is handling climate change. just 40% approve. and so despite that, the white house says they do not plan to change their approach. >> if they see the president going out there making these announcements, showing and talking to directly he's our best messenger to talk about what he's doing on climate change, i think it's going to matter. >> first stop today, arizona, congressman andy biggs is writing now nice of joe biden to make the trip to our great state of arizona. joe should carve out time to visit a border town. i'm sure the residents would love to hear about his disastrous immigration policies. needed to start a few hours early because of the extreme weather in washington, d.c.

>> i don't think anybody can deny the impact of climate change anymore. when i first got here, people said it's not a problem. i don't know anybody, i shouldn't say that -- >> billions of dollars that president biden is going to talk about investing in green energy in the southwest are not from the green energy act, they are from the inflation reduction act, which if you remember just a year ago, we were told was to combat inflation. john. >> john: i remember that spin, peter doocy in albuquerque. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: the american consumer also struggling with biden's crack down on popular home appliances, some are claiming they are getting lower quality household items as a result. may sound familiar to folks listening, jeff flock is live at a family-owned appliance store in new jersey.

all the changes are resulting in lower quality products. how are consumers taking to the green agenda. what are you hearing there? >> that's what we came here, sandra, a small, you know, family-owned appliance store. what are consumers saying. we are hearing we have to get rid of the gas ranges and buy the new electric ones, more efficient washing machines, dishwashers, all the rest. talk to a man who has his finger on the pulse. not only is rich run this for the past 35 years or so, also the president of the new jersey better business bureau, or the chairman of the board, and i want to get from you what are consumers telling you about the green energy? >> it's -- they are not really happy with the results of the outlay, initial cost is high. >> the government says you will get your money back if you buy a more efficient appliance. give me an example. this is a maytag washing

machine. a new energy efficient one. >> energy efficient and it's not meeting the requirements that are set forth for 2027, i believe. >> which get even more strict. >> that's when they get strict. this may use 12 gallons of water per wash cycle, the prior ones use maybe 40 gallons. >> so that's good. >> that's good in itself. but the problem is a lot of the newer machines and guidelines will restrict the water so much you may have to run it twice. so, it's not really doing -- you are not doing any favors to anybody, you are actually worse off. >> and take me also back to the gas, because i want to get a sense for that. are people, you know, snapping up the new electric induction cook tops and all the rest or still going gas? >> still selling gas. we have calls, am i going have to change the gas stove to electric, we have no idea yet, but they are still head strong for gas. people love gas stoves. >> maybe you see a lot of gas

stoves still here. some say grass will be pried from their cold dead hands. i guess it's not pried, it's gas. >> sandra: and hearing from the restaurant owners and top chef, they cannot cook the same quality food. so lower quality appliances, lower quality food. now you have our attention. jeff loves his meals. jeff, thank you, really important stuff there. and we will dig into this further coming up. robert wolf, obviously he advised president obama back under that administration, he is a democrat, doug holtz-eakin, and we'll dig into this further and this is a cost, john, that is being pushed on the consumer, pushed on businesses, that many just can't -- they can't deal with that right now when they are battling sky high inflation. >> john: but as i recall, you are a big fan of induction cooking. >> sandra: i do. i like an induction cook top.

they are actually really, really good. and a lot of top chefs like them. >> john: maybe that is the wave of the future. john, thank you. meanwhile, florida governor ron desantis is shaking up his campaign leadership. replacing the campaign manager with james upmeyer who has served as chief of staff to the governor. peck will stay on as chief strategist. the move marks desantis's third staff shake-up in less than a month and growing concern from his top donors over his sluggish poll numbers and the amount of cash he has burned through. and now this. >> john: 15 days to go to the gop presidential debate right here on fox news. former vice president mike pence saying he has reached the donor threshold needed to qualify to be on the stage, the eighth candidate to secure a spot on the stage. richard fowler, and david

avella. so, pretty much the first order of business of the pence campaign after he qualified to say we hope donald trump has the courage to be on that stage. what would a pence-trump dynamic look like in that first debate? >> what we do know, john, if the president isn't there, pence becomes the sounding board for all trump-pence administration policies, all the other republicans go after mike pence to be the proxy for donald trump and he will have to defend all of the policies of the trump administration. it will be an interesting dynamic if you have the president and his former vice president on stage debating what they discussed in the white house. all that to say this separates the tier a from the no tier. if you are not one of the ones on the debate stage in 15 days you won't have a chance to get to the white house. >> john: a lot of donald trump supporters do not like mike pence because of what happened on january the 6th. so, can he make inroads in a

debate going against trump that way? >> i think it's an interesting prediction for the republicans, you should follow up the campaign and folding chair and go home. with that being said, look at the dynamics of the race, i disagree, every one of the candidates, somehow some way touched the trump-pence agenda, whether it's nikki haley, u.n. secretary, tim scott, a loyal ally on capitol hill, every one of those candidates have touched the donald trump administration herein lies the problem. donald trump does not have to go to the debate and i would tell him not to go either. you are so far ahead in the polls. why get in the muck when you can just ride it out. for all the other candidates they need to make a decision. are we going to go against donald trump, take down the wall that is trump, understanding since 2016 to now, trump has had an overt impact on shaping the republican party to be one of his own making, why he's doing

so well in the polls. >> john: david, if you try to take down that wall, that wall is high, 53% in the real clear politics average, which is more, obviously, than all of the other candidates combined. so, even if you took, asimulated all of the support from all of the candidates you would still fall behind trump. how do you beat him? >> you have to pull voters away from donald trump. with ideas that make them say we want those -- >> john: if 3, 4 can't do it, what can? >> we are going to find out. does someone put a message together that's what i want. in 2016 donald trump was not the front-runner at this point and came out and said i'm going to secure the border, i'm a businessman who can create jobs and i'm going t take on the washington swamp and that message in the first debates had republicans saying we want that. that's the challenge for the rest of these candidates. and now that we are up to eight,

and potentially more, strategic advice. buy every ad dollar that you can prior to this debate, during the debate and after the debate so you get more time. because with eight candidates you'll have less time to get to talk during the debate. >> john: have to ask richard about this. letter to devon archer, dated january 20, 2011, biden says to devon archer they were at a luncheon together, did not spend a lot of time together, dear devon, i apologize for not getting a chance to talk to you at the luncheon yesterday. i was having trouble getting away from hosting president hu. i hope i get a chance to see you again soon with hunter, thanks for coming, sincerely joe biden. p.s., happy you guys are together. that seems to contradict biden's claims he didn't have anything to do with any of hunter biden's business partners. >> we know how washington civility works, especially with president joe biden when he was

senator and vice president. if you stop by the office to say hello, you will get a letter from the senator from delaware. in looking at the letter, it's a far jump to the claims we here on capitol hill, claims of bribery, claims he was involved in all this. also understanding there is a current justice investigation. >> john: also the golf game, though. >> with the trump-appointed u.s. attorney and so if there was wrongdoing by the president i'm sure it would have come out already. i think there is a lot of smoke here, condensation from the weather yesterday or fog machine but does not seem to be the fire of bribery you hear republicans making up in the reporting. >> john: we'll watch this to see where it goes. >> sandra: good discussion there. first hotels, then school gyms, and now an island. new york city announcing yet another site for sheltering migrants. what about the hundreds of children that use that space for

sporting events? plus this. -- >> mr. chairman, the fact is you are making me look good. >> john: president biden praising the work of an electric vehicle maker as part of his climate energy push. two years later that company filing for bankruptcy. so what does this say about the industry as a whole? we'll talk with our economic panel of robert wolf and doug holtz-eakin just ahead. 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. ♪

(inspirational music) >> sandra: next hour, president biden is kicking off his clean emergency road trip in the battleground state of arizona. remarks coming after a major electric vehicle maker files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. a company the administration has

repeatedly celebrated as a success. so, is the u.s. ready for a green energy transition? robert wolf, former obama economic adviser and fox news contributor. doug holtz-eakin, president of american action forum. dive into the debate. douglas, start with you first. as i was getting ready for this segment i was reminded of this michigan school district that i got a billion dollars to spend on electric school busses only to then say it's been fabulous, we appreciate the effort, but the busses hardly work. so, is there a major learning curve here that the industry just doesn't ready for? >> oh, i think there's no question about that. i mean, we should just stipulate that in any industry, bankruptcy reorganizations, liquidations are economic par for the course, it happens. the difference here is we are

not following the normal economic course of events. administration has piled hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to jump start and create from out of whole cloth an industry and the supply chain for the industry and fuel for the industry and it's not ready for the demands placed on it and we will see nor failures. it's not ready. >> just some of what we have heard from the biden administration officials of praising pro terra and the electric vehicles in general. >> pro terra, a leading u.s. manufacturer of electric busses, batteries and charging infrastructure. they have since sold more than 1,000 electric busses. >> replacing the busses with clean technologies will create good jobs. >> we ought to be the most single significant suppliers of electric busses in the world you are going to make a difference. >> sandra: suppliers of the components that go into the

busses and vehicles, they have received enormous amounts of public subsidies to then go on to fail. they are on the screen, robert. so this a premature push by the administration? >> sandra, thanks for having me on. i actually know both of these companies, lordstown, specialty trucking and pro terra busses. and what's interesting, lordstown, just to recall, the one that president trump touted in 2019 as the manufacturing boom and pro terra as you heard president biden. so, both of these have been highlighted by both presidents. each of these are specialty e.v.s and i would say both were premature to be public sector companies. neither of them should have been ipo. if they stayed private and went slowly instead of ramped up this spak crazy venture ipo phase, they may have succeeded but they

ramped up too fast and you said and douglas said, these are not catching on. it's going to be slow and steady and very different than the electric vehicle market where you look at tesla, they made an announcement their cyber truck was two years delayed, it did not impact them at all. the global e.v. market around 35%. but your point, sandra, it is sluggish in the u.s.. the e.v. market -- >> sandra: you have a consumer that's struggling and administration ignoring the fact, surprises up 16% since the president took office and that's ignored. that little portion of the screen, bottom right, we are told by this white house he's going to tout his economic policies as a major success. they continue to coin it bidenomics, doug. and kamala harris said a minute ago, she said wages are up. no, they are not. they are gobbled up by inflation, and real wages are

down 3% right now. >> the average person is not getting anything out of this. two important points, number one, these tax reductions, tax rates go to very large corporations and these are going broke and to affluent americans. any other circumstance it would be called trickle-down, but this is called bidenomics. the average guy is not the market, not the target of the policies. troubling part about this, seen the movie before, once you give money to a company and they lose money, will we give them more. will you see the repeted attempt oh, we didn't make a mistake, another couple hundred billion, this is fine. worth keeping an eye on. >> sandra: we brought jerry baker on from the wall street journal, president biden said bidenomics coined by the wall street journal, it was not meant to be a compliment but picking winners and losers in the private sector. it's not supposed to be their

world. real quick, final from you, gas prices, they are up substantially over the past week, the past month, now 3.82, approaching $4. why isn't the focus on bringing this down? if truly this is an administration trying to help the working middle class american, why are they not talking about bringing these gas prices down? >> i only have a few seconds, i look forward to the other side of that debate on bidenomics. consumer confidence up big, labor market up big, jobs up big, manufacturing up big, look forward to have that other side of the debate with douglas. >> sandra: ok, we are also taking on a trillion dollars in credit card debt. we'll cover that top of the 2:00 hour. thank you very much. appreciate the debate, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> sandra: we'll have you back soon. >> john: wild video out of alabama, a group of boaters

missile lab in a moment. but first, the latest horror in this ongoing war. overnight, a cruise missile is fired in the center of the town in eastern ukraine. hotel, restaurant, several apartment buildings were hit and then when rescue teams were on the scene another missile was fired. in addition to those killed, over 80 injured, civilians, including children, first responders, police among the casualties. moscow claims it was a military target. it is just this kind of ugly action for which ukraine is trying to hold russia responsible. take a look. >> you are looking at the brutal might of russian rocketry here at an institute in kyiv for its role in the death of hundreds, maybe thousands of ukrainian civilians. after missiles hit ukrainian soil or knocked out of the sky, the wreckage is retrieved and brought to the lab. like this hypersonic missile knocked down by u.s. patriot air

defenses, or the cruise missile, small range but big danger models. damage is impossible to estimate, we do everything to investigate. >> take each missile apart to find out where it's from, down to the last detail and serial number, and then to have the evidence in hoped for future trials against russia. >> no doubt russia is targeting civilians. >> sandra, another $200 million in u.s. military aid set to be announced today, included in that more patriot air defense missiles. as we have been seeing, much needed. back to you. >> greg, thank you. john. >> john: meantime, ukraine says they have detained a russian informant who was allegedly working with the kremlin on a plot to assassinate president zelenskyy. officials claim the woman was

sharing intelligence on zelenskyy's location. morgan ortagus. if the plot is to be believed, it seems russia has gone back to believe the best way to win the war take out the symbol of defiance. >> they want to try to take the king off the chess board, so to speak. this is not new, we saw it early on in the invasion a year and a half ago, reports the russians were trying to kill zelenskyy. that is going to be an ongoing problem and challenge for zelenskyy. you have the issue there geographically close, that's how russia invaded. also plenty of ukrainians that speak russian. it's very easy from an intelligence perspective to exploit that relationship with these assets. so i would say thank god ukrainian intelligence was able

to stop her but not the first or last time we hear about the plots. >> john: ukraine says they was caught "red handed," suggests that she was a ukrainian person, obviously a russian sympathizer and a whole lot of those in that area of the country. they seem to be pretty certain about this whole thing. >> they do. i mean, listen. we are not immune from this as well. we saw last week as the show reported we had two american sailors based in california who were giving secrets over to the chinese. so, this does happen, unfortunately, in military and intelligence situations. i think it shows the resiliency of the ukrainian intelligence services that they were able to co-op this. but let's not forget the bigger picture here, the bigger story. russians, what they tend to do, is blame the west, blame ukraine for all the problems they are facing but in reality they are the ones as you report just

showed before i came on, they are the ones attacking things like a blood transfusion center over the weekend. the world health organization estimates that the russians have done at least 700 attacks on healthcare facilities in the last year in ukraine. healthcare facilities, not military targets, healthcare facilities. so, that is the ever-present danger that zelenskyy and the ukrainian forces are dealing with. assassination attempts and going after civilian infrastructure, healthcare workers, the russians have even kidnapped thousands of ukrainian children. they will stop at nothing. they are a desperate and injured animal who are lashing out and will stop at nothing until they get their angles. >> john: the ukrainian counteroffensive does not seem to be going as well, and now a poll finds congress should authorize more spending for ukraine, 45% say yes, 55% of people say no.

and 51% say the u.s. has done enough here. so, you know, what's the future for ukraine here? if american support is waning, and looks like the counteroffensive is not going the way they wanted it to, how much longer can they hold out? >> well, i think there are two things we have to remember here, and these both fall squarely on the shoulders of the president, president biden and his administration. first of all, the world, and especially europe, is in this predicament because biden and his team failed to deter putin from invading ukraine in the first place. that was a historic and monumental deterrence failure that will have ramifications around the world in theater after theater including with xi jinping in taiwan. secondly, the administration has been heavily criticized because unlike the trump administration where president trump gave military and lethal aid to the ukrainians during his administration, the biden administration cut that off. they did not give military

lethal aid to ukrainians until after they invaded. similarly, biden has been consistently criticized often times by senators of his own party for being so slow in making -- in getting more and more lethal aid so you think about the abrams tanks, f-16, cluster munitions. cluster munitions are having an effect on the ground now. where were they six months ago when people were calling for them. so it's just deliberately that has them in the position they are in now. >> john: effective by highly controversial, those weapons. morgan, good to talk to you. thanks so much, appreciate it. sandra. >> sandra: john, fox news obtaining startling new images of cartel gunmen armed with rifles and wearing body armor walking freely into the united states. it comes as the president is in arizona with no plans to visit the border.

court. it has brought one time political enemies and put them on the same page. congressman adam schiff from california and donald trump both want the trial televised. both have different motives, but they believe the american people should see what happens in the courtroom. it's up to the judicial conference of federal judges. judge tanya chutkan is presiding over the case. it's unlikely she would allow it to happen but there is always exceptions that can be made. are always exceptions. now, last night a judge told both the trump team and government, judge chutkan, to hash out differences over a protective order. the order originally proposed by the government would limit what donald trump could say or type out on social media regarding the case. a truth social post over the weekend, he said "if you go after me, i'm coming after you." special counsel jack smith's team took it as a threat potentially to witnesses or even

people in his office. trump's attorneys say it was pure political speech and he was talking about rivals on the campaign trail. trump's team wants to move the trial out of washington, d.c., trump's attorneys expected to file the motion soon, but it's not up to the trump team or doj. >> i think west virginia would be an excellent venue to try the case. an don't expect it to happen. and we are asking the trump team to ask judge chutkan to recuse herself, she has not even met with both teams but will likely do that by the end of the week. sandra. >> sandra: all very interesting stuff. thank you. john. >> john: the fda investigating logan paul's popular energy drink prime. what they are looking for and why are some grocery stores starting to pull it off their shelves. we'll speak to the grocery store

billion, this current plan, it's got to go before congress. stop trying to use executive action and it's not going to do anything more future borrowers in terms of making college more affordable. and does not guarantee people entering college now or the next few years, they may not have student loan forgiveness. the biggest problem here, the biggest driver these universities that have not been cutting costs. >> sandra: where is that conversation? >> that conversation is the one that needs to take place primarily, and not the one about having two-thirds of the people in the country who don't have college degrees paying for the one-third that do, that's like asking homeless people to subsidize the housing for people looking for apartments. it is patently unfair and if you really want to make college affordable then you have to make sure colleges are spending less on administration than instruction and the amount has

>> sandra: let's address the skyrocketing costs in the country and the economy. seeing people take on more and more debt this just in on credit card debt in this country, it is swelling, kennedy, more than a trillion dollars in the second quarter of 2023. the people are taking on more and more debt just to live. >> and that is a recipe for disaster because credit card rates are so high. the highest they have ever been. now averaging over 20% apr and that means if you are spending on the credit card you are not saving yourself any money. you are actually spending more money with no relief in ith is an. and the problem is for a lot of people could can't make the minimum monthly payments, the apr goes up more and more for them and they get shackled in economic prison where there is no mobility for them. you have an administration talking about the greatest economy ever and relying on numbers from the pandemic where

people were taking their stimulus money and paying down their credit cards, they were not spending a lot. they were taking the money, paying down debt. we don't have that environment right now. prices are still going up. people are hurting, and they are spending money they don't have. so if there is a recession looming and there still might be, that is disastrous for people who owe that trillion dollars. that is a phenomenal number, and that is starting to go on par with the student loan in the country. >> sandra: the remarkable moment we are in, bottom screen right, we are about to hear from the president touting his economic policies as a major success that they are working. one could say they are working for some and that the rich are getting richer. i mean, the stock market keeps going up. you can make the case a lot of people missed the stock market rally and now talked into getting into it at all time highs, right. kennedy, thanks very much. we'll hear what the president has to say in a few moments.

>> john: you mentioned it, president biden on the road again and speaking in arizona minutes from now. the president expected to talk up his inflation reduction act and many americans still struggling with high prices. we will get reaction from a former clinton adviser. >> sandra: really looking forward that. a rare shark attack, it just happened at a new york city beach. first time since 1953 may have some wondering if it's even safe to go in the water where you are. how officials are responding to try to reassure everyone in these summer months. veteran homeowners, credit card debt piling up? great news. you can use your va benefit to pay off your high rate credit card debt with a lower rate va home loan from newday. rates on credit cards have gone up to 22%. for late payments, as much as 30%, more than three times higher than a newday va loan. so pay off your high rate debt with a lower rate newday home loan, and you can save $500 or more every month.

swimming when she was bitten by the shark and started screaming for the attack and passed out, not clear if it was from blood loss or shock, she's in serious condition right now and her injuries are non-life-threatening. today the beach is closed to swimmers and surfers and the park department is telling us they hope the swimmer has a full recovery. the last one here happened decades ago but it's different on long island, five people were bitten by sharks over the 4th of july weekend. it has a lot of people on edge, listen. >> it's scary, it's a wake-up call for all of us to be more careful in the water, more watchful in the water, because again, it does belong to them. and we are visitors. we ought to stick with the pools. >> stick with the pool, and what some of the other people said as well. they know with the dangers that come on the east coast, yoens
