>> and i want to bring the show full circle and make a prediction somebody on the debate stage will bring up oliver anthony. >> that would be interesting. >> and they should, rightly so. i had tears in my eyes when i first heard this, he is singing the protest anthem of our time, good on, oliver anthony, love it. >> feels a lot like 2016. don't forget to dvr the show, here is "america reports." >> once this debate happens this week, it's off to the races. >> it's going to be an exciting debate. >> i feel i've been preparing for this first republican presidential debate my whole life. >> i don't think it's any secret that i'm going to be probably the guy that people are going to come after. bring it often. >> many people in the country didn't know who i was six months ago. so this is a good opportunity for me to introduce myself to the country. >> incredibly relaxed. i've been there before. hell, if i'm nervous, they should all be petrified.

>> sandra: the wait is almost over to see eight gop presidential contenders duke it out in the first debate of the 2024 campaign. the man they are trying to unseed is going back on vacation after what critics said were tone deaf remarks in hawaii. >> john: hi, sandra. i'm john roberts in washington. just 32 hours from now, the primary field will make their first impression to millions of voters as they look for a breakthrough moment to shake up the race. >> sandra: rnc is confirming diverse group of eight candidates have met the criteria and will meet in this order, ron desantis and vivek ramaswamy securing the two middle podiums. >> john: the stakes for the candidates could not be higher. the republican field pushed on everything from the border crisis to parental rights in schools, the current president is taking more time off.

>> sandra: peter doocy has more. reporting live from the white house. any update as to whether or not president biden will be watching tomorrow night? >> we have an update, told by biden campaign officials not to expect president biden to respond to the attacks from republican candidates in realtime and we are being told to expect many attacks. >> 2024, are you feeling that the democrats are in good position going into it? >> i am, especially if the opponent is donald trump. >> white house aides who scheduled president biden's hawaii trip yesterday put him at events much, much later eastern time than he usually has things, and he hoped to empathize. when he said this. >> i don't want to compare difficulties but we have a little sense, jill and i, what

it's like to lose a home. >> he doesn't. at the time the fire department said that the 2004 fire was contained to the kitchen within 20 minutes and he's told that story as president much less dramatically. >> lightning strike hit, i live on a little pond, ten-acre pond that borders the property, hit a conduit on the side of the hill, went up underneath and set fire the internal part of my house, so the air-conditioning just was billowing out smoke. >> on a conference call today, officials tried to steer things towards issues they see as winners and top of the list, abortion. >> in red states and in blue states and presidential battleground states, when abortion is on the ballot, democrats and abortion rights win. >> we are also being told for the first time that if trump is

the republican nominee, it's not a sure thing that biden will attend a debate with trump. they said there have not been substantive discussions about that yet, but because biden is not doing any primary debates, he may be asking voters for a re-election with no questions asked literally. sandra. >> sandra: very interesting, here we go. count down is on. peter doocy, thank you so much. coming up, katie pavlich and kelly anne conway here as the official start of the primary season kicks off tomorrow night with the first gop debate right here on the fox news channel. tune in tomorrow, 9:00 p.m. eastern as the candidates square off, face-to-face in milwaukee. the big show will be moderated by bret baier and martha maccallum. john, so much anticipation for this. and -- >> john: there is. >> sandra: and big issues to be discussed and interesting to see how the candidates position

themselves on the center stage for the voters, but also how they position themselves against their opponents on that stage. we'll all be watching. >> john: i'm looking forward to that. going back to what peter was talking about and the president's comments in maui yesterday, you know, you are the president, you are not supposed to say oh, well you guys, this happened to you but look at what happened to me. it should be just nothing but i can't even begin to fathom what you are going through but promise you this, the full weight of the federal government is behind you and we will do everything we can to make you whole. i don't understand this penchant to compare, and say oh, yeah, i've been there too, walked in your shoes. >> sandra: a moment like that, we all need to say we are here for you and we feel your pain as this country certainly does, john. >> john: talk about them, don't talk about you. it's very simple. the economy is going to be a hot topic at the republican debate where the candidates will likely take president biden to task

over inflation. some americans are still struggling to pay for necessities, and now it's getting harder to afford a car. lydia joins us to break this down. what's behind the increased cost here? >> a big factor, interest rates. they are adding thousands of dollars, the average interest rate on a loan for a new car hit 7.2% last month, according to edmunds. the average transaction price for a new car is now more than $48,000, according to kelly blue book. the average down payment, nearly 6800. that leaves about 41,500 to be financed at 7.2%. after 72 months, total interest paid would be higher than $9,700. total cost for that car then, higher than $58,000. buying that same car at the same price with the same down payment back in february of 2022 just

before the federal reserve started hiking interest rates would save nearly $4,000 in interest alone because the average interest rate then was lower, 4.4%. the new york fed shows now 7.3% of auto loans are 30 days or more late, delinquency is rising. nearly 2.5% of the auto loans are more than 90 days late. a concerning trend for some because unemployment is low and prompting the question whether it's working people who are now not able to afford their cars. listen here. >> unfortunately the only two ways is if we see the fed reduce rates, not an option. and on top of that, cars have to sit long enough for automakers to really pile on incentives, and there's so much demand. >> john, it does not seem like the situation is going to improve. according to cox automotive,

only one car sold for average price of under $20,000, that was the mitsubishi mirage. john, five years ago, more than a dozen cars selling for under 20 grand. >> john: and lydia, as we know, we make the transition to electric cars, they are even more expensive. >> the price keeps getting higher. >> john: create more hardship for the average american consumer. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: education a major issue, and virginia is the battleground state for parental rights. the fight to stop schools from keeping secrets from parents is now reaching a boiling point as more and more districts refuse to comply with governor glenn youngkin's guidelines and transgender students. and defending the american dream, this is emerging as a top issue. it's out there, parents have been standing up, we saw it happen during the pandemic,

learning what kids were learning in the classroom as parents stood over their shoulders as they were virtual learning. but here we are for the 2024 election, how big of an issue do you see this becoming? >> oh, it continues to be big. because remember, that's what swept us into office because parents realized their children were not learning when they were in front of the screens and yet private schools were open from five days a week for a whole year, so what, is covid that smart it does not go to private schools, we got elected, the governor opened up the schools, told them we will get rid of the masks we heard that and now put forward policies that says we will not separate parents from their children. the rights don't stop when they drop them off at the door and pick them up. this is plain common sense, sandra. i don't know what could be controversial about parents in charge of their children's lives. >> john: lieutenant governor, what two of the most prominent

school districts have to say in the commonwealth, fairfax county superintendent, full disclosure, my kids are in fairfax public schools, she said we have concluded our detailed legal review and determined our current fairfax public school policies are consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws as required by the new model policies. arlington, we determined the procedures that protect the rights of the transgender students will stay as is. i oppose any policy that infringes on the rights of the students and threatens the safety and well-being of the lgbtqia plus students. what do you say to the schools, saying we know better than you do and we are going to do what we want. >> that's what they are saying, the school boards are and these are the same school boards who were against the governor's executive orders to get rid of

the masks because that's what the parents wanted and they are in violation of virginia law and the governor and the attorney general will be making a decision on the next process forward, but these policies, they are not controversial at all. first of all, they say the children will, all children will be given privacy, all children will be respected, and all children will be treated with dignity. again, nothing controversial. the issue is the school boards are making themselves judge and jury and they are again pushing education in their own image. you hear them say we have made a determination. but actually, you are not following the law and so something is going to have to happen. >> sandra: can we make sure the kids are reading? >> that's it. >> sandra: the report cards state by state by state and kids are falling farther and farther behind and sadly, when you look at some states, even though the

reading scores are farther and farther, they are still graduating them, sending them off. >> it's a farce. >> sandra: way below reading levels. a montage of virginia parents. >> the idea that a school district can keep really sensitive information from parents is not only as the governor stated illegal in the state of virginia, it's also immoral. >> it drives a wedge between parents and children by creating a double life, a secret double life for the child at school. >> the parents must be involved. end of the story right there. >> sandra: some are calling youngkin's policies transphobic and calling the parents transphobic. >> common sense needs to rule the day and win out, and one of the things i was pushing and parents wanted is school choice. and school choice now. so that they can make a decision on where to send their children to school. again, nothing controversial

about that. listen, we have been down this road before, we have to ask ourselves what is the purpose finally of school. it is for you to put knowledge into my child so my child can have a hope and a future. all of these other things, they are sidelines and many teachers are actually leaving the profession because of these games. they don't know what's in today. i mean, what am i supposed to say today. what am i covered under today. this is not why they went into the profession, and we are trying to bring teachers back, they are trying to drive them out with these policies. >> john: lieutenant governor, let me come back to something you said a moment ago. state is going to consider the next process forward. something is going to have to happen. my understanding of the law is that the governor has very little recourse against these school districts when they defy him, that it would likely have to be a parent that brings a lawsuit against the school board, which the state could then join in an amicus brief or

join the lawsuit. so, what is the next step? >> well, as i said, we are -- governor and the attorney general will be looking at that. but you know, here is the step and it's called elections. we have elections coming up this year in virginia, well, an election every year in virginia. but we are trying to win back the senate so that we can put forward more robust laws that really protect parents and their right and we shouldn't have to do this, why, because it has already been decided by certain court decisions that under the 14th amendment parents have the responsibility of raising their children. now, you are going to ask why should that have to be a court decision? this is the new world that we are living in. and finally, the first amendment says that you will not push things down our throat that is against our belief. so, it's all of that and you know, the part about of the people, by the people and for the people, well, as we say in

the south, and it's a very technical term, y'all are the people. you have to get involved in elections. >> sandra: very good to have you here today. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> john: thanks, lieutenant governor. the once bustling downtown of san francisco ravaged by crimes with empty office buildings and littered with open air drug markets. the steps they are taking to get the city out of its doom loop. >> sandra: and meanwhile, house republicans are sending out subpoenas to federal agents in the room with special counsel david weiss during a key moment in the hunter biden investigation. could those new details from a pivotal meeting in the case cause weiss to lose his special counsel appointment? it is a question that needs to be asked. fox news legal editor is here with answers next. >> congress, believe it or not, does not like to issue subpoenas against executive branch

>> john: revolving door at the biden white house ushering in a new top lawyer, ed siscol, a familiar face, and coming back for a repeat performance at the white house. oversaw efforts to shield president obama into the investigation into benghazi when he was a white house counsel but not the white house counsel. this time with president biden he is going to be taking over as the white house counsel. his appointment comes as house republicans advance their investigations into hunter biden and whether president biden could be implicated in the family's business dealings.

joining us now is fox news legal editor, and we love the new role that you are playing here at fox news. we had you on a lot when you were at the department of justice. so the house ways and means and judiciary committees have subpoenaed four officials, michael, the irs director of field operations, special agent in charge, and another special agent in charge, and fbi assistant special agent in charge to talk about david weiss and a meeting in october of 2022, he allegedly said that he wanted to bring charges against hunter biden but was told that he couldn't. what do you think the committees could learn from these individuals if they comply with the subpoenas? >> they are going to try to corroborate weiss's account he did not have final charging authority and that he was not able to bring charges in other districts.

the reason we know why this is odd is because both weiss and the attorney general have said the opposite in public. they said weiss had full authority over the probe and garland testified under oath before congress that if he wanted to bring a case in another district he could. they are going to ask them, too, who will ask them did david weiss mention talking to anybody at main justice, talk about talking to the attorney general or lisa monaco, his deputy, they will try to drill down on this. something is not adding up. >> john: a couple of things we discovered is chris clark, hunter biden's attorney, threatened the department of justice with putting president biden on the stand if charges were filed against hunter biden. according to this quote that was contained in politico, he said "this of all cases justfies neither the spectacle of a sitting president testifying at a criminal trial nor the potential for resulting constitutional crisis." and then saw as people described

it sweetheart plea deal and the "new york times" revealed private correspondence, came to this extraordinary conclusion. earlier this year the times found mr. weiss appeared willing to forego any prosecution of mr. biden at all and his office came close to agreeing to end the investigation without requiring a guilty plea on any charges. but the correspondence reveals his position relayed through the staff changed in the spring around the time a pair of irs officials on the case accused the department of justice of hamstringing the investigation. mr. weiss suddenly demanded mr. biden plead guilty to committing tax offenses. and people say why would you elevate david weiss to special counsel, so many conflicts of interest on different levels and we were talking about the delaware way, what is it, how does it play into this? >> it appears there is something rotten in the state of delaware and i think fundamentally it may

be the delaware way. the delaware way president biden has spoken about throughout the years, the way they do business in delaware, a cozyiness, and the way things should be. the president said he wanted to bring this model to washington. but interestingly, david weiss himself over a decade ago wrote a memo actually painting a different picture, a darker picture, he said it's soft corruption, and it's been present in the state for years. that was in a presentencing memo about what, his successful prosecution of a delaware businessman who had illegally contributed to then joe biden's campaign in 2008. so he's talking about the dark side of the delaware way as it relates to joe biden himself. so what i'm confused about and i think a lot of people are confused about at this point, if weiss is anti-this delaware way, why in the world are we here. this hunter biden situation wreaks of just that.

>> and david weiss was working with beau biden, right? >> in the case i just mentioned, beau biden had to recuse himself. he was the state attorney general at the time. he recuses himself, weiss says the delaware way is dark and corrupt and so that's -- interesting given where the hunter biden plea deal given weiss's approach normally. >> john: interesting piece of wool to pull on. great to see you. >> sandra: some state lawmakers trying to keep farmland away from chinese buyers. do the new policies go too far? mike pompeo will be here to join in. >> john: and president biden's plan for a great american rebuild is missing a key ingredient. where are all the workers to do the rebuilding? and what happens to all those infrastructure investments if the jobs are left unfilled? ♪♪

♪♪ >> john: america's labor force telling employers they better show them the money, according to a new york federal reserve survey. americans' wage expectations, meaning the lowest figure to switch jobs has hit a record high of nearly $79,000. that's up 8% from last year alone. experts say the rising expectations are a sign that inflation remains alive and well. you know, sandra, i read an article this morning apparently the labor market is tightening, that there aren't so many jobs available now, which would seem to be at odds with that sentiment among workers. >> sandra: an economy unprecedented for many reasons

and navigating through it is obviously difficult. but right now with inflation, you better believe people are asking for more money. i mean, any wage growth that you are experiencing is getting gobbled up. >> john: no question we need more money. >> sandra: we'll talk about the average cost of a new car in the country, approaching $50,000. we are going to dig into that next hour, john. >> john: i remember i bought my first car -- >> if we pass this plan, the economy will create 19 million jobs. good jobs, blue collar jobs, jobs that pay well. largest american jobs investment since world war ii. create millions of jobs. this law delivers on that long overdue promise in my view, creates jobs for millions of americans. >> sandra: president biden said his $1 trillion infrastructure plan would create tens of millions of jobs and once in a

generation initiative to rebuild america's crumbling roads and bridges. in the nearly two years since then, many projects have not broken ground. a reason why is a massive labor shortage only getting worse. ben, from builders and contractors, an important story and people are talking about. one thing for sure, a lot of people renovating houses through the pandemic and out of the pandemic. it was hard to even line up to get work. you'll hear from a lot of folks. what is the situation right now with finding labor? >> well, the construction industry is facing a huge labor shortage of about half million people this year. and it's really the result of a perfect storm of regulatory demographic and economic issues all happening all together all at once. and because of the hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure that americans are investing in roads, schools and bridges, some of these labor

shortages the industry is feeling may get worse and that's going to lead to increased costs and additional delays as more and more taxpayer funded infrastructure projects are out and being built. >> sandra: this is unbelievable. unfilled construction jobs year to date, 500,000. anybody who needs construction will have to pay for it or the job won't get done. realistic t think we are going to move into the new and more infrastructure in the united states? >> we are going to get less for the investment that we expected originally, when taxpayers were expecting hundreds of billions of dollars coming in in the last couple years. a lot of the money is on the sideline, they have not put projects out to bid yet, but they are going to get less and that's because of a lot of different factors. seeing 40% cost increases instruction materials, and supply since the start of the pandemic. we are seeing the labor

shortages. and also seeing biden administration policies increasing the costs of construction and exacerbating the skilled labor shortage by excluding certain contractors and workers from participating in the rebuilding of america. >> sandra: i talked with a man, he cannot get enough skilled workers to work with am or for him pointing out that these skilled trade jobs have seen double digit growth in demand over the past three months. carpenters, up 23%, demand. stone mason, up 43%. construction laborer, up 18%. unbelievable. but now those on the job are walking away from, infrastructure workers leaving their jobs over i guess a projection over ten years, 1.7 million. is there just a changing philosophy in this country, too, that everybody believes they

need to go to college and that these trade jobs are not for them, not as good paying, this isn't the future. is it just changing? >> well, it's a demographic issue. baby boomers are retiring at a greater rate than we can recruit more people into the industry and industry is doing all it can to bring more people in the trades, including apprenticeship programs, second chancers, incarcerated people second careers, getting into the pipeline in the construction industry but a broader issue in our culture which is schools push people to colleges and they don't consider putting people into the trades. where you can earn while you learn you don't go into debt which is crippling so many of our young people and it's a great opportunity to climb the ladder of entrepreneurship. you can start in the trades and then eventually go on to owning a small business and grow and rebuild your community. it is an american success, more people need to get into the

mindset of getting into instead of the college debt cycle. >> really, really interesting, the young workforce is lacking, 11% of the workforce are 24 years or younger, speaking to the demographic change. something very real and happening right now. a lot of folks at home probably are thinking about the phone calls they have not had returned when they call for something. the plumber telling me that they'll drive 50 miles to replace hvac unit, a big project but a small one they hesitate and that is game changing for a lot of people at home. thank you for joining us on that. important stuff. john. >> john: sandra, the debate over parents' rights in school gender policies boiling over in new jersey. what garden state voters are saying about how schools are handling the issue. >> sandra: new york city becoming a magnet for migrants, with sanctuary policies that guarantee them shelter. >> our mayor's only further incentivizing this human

share of white college graduate voters by 16%. but something is happening now and i guess you've got liberal white college graduates, conservative white college graduates, locked in in terms of voting democratic or republican, the moderates may waiver next year. >> you are seeing joe biden and his administration push so hard on the student loan bail-out reallocation process, they are trying to hold on to those college graduates while they are losing nonwhite voters inside their party. so whether losing significant percentages on the working class nonwhite voter, noncollege degree holding voter they need to make that up by trying to keep these people inside their tent. now, there is this waivering in the middle that just depends on the issue, you know, abortion was a huge issue for college students and graduates when it came to the 2022 midterm

elections, but what things people are voting on, bidenomics is something the white house is trying to sell and since 2020 increased inflation for every american family, including wealthy degree holders like everybody else paying hundreds of dollars more each month, amounts to thousands more per year and more difficult for them to raise their families or to get ahead in the economy. and if you look at the enthusiasm for president joe biden, even inside the democratic party, includes a lot of the white college degree holders, they are not excited about him being the democratic nominee, they would rather vote for someone else so they are at risk for not having voter turnout when it comes to the election next november, obviously we are a long way away from that, but an issue for the democrats. >> sandra: katie, the white college grads were key to biden's win in 2020. look at where things are now and how they feel about the direction of the country. we know that is not good. we know the current financial condition of a lot of voters, they are not happy with it.

so you wonder how much this is going to sway their vote in the upcoming election and by the way, a lot can still change with the economy. it's not great now, and we are looking at the federal reserve trying to tackle interest rates. it changes life for so many americans. >> look at 2019, economy was humming along, president trump was in good position to win re-election on his economic policies and then covid hit and had this big issue where they had to shut down the country, the economy tanked and joe biden was able to beat him by not really campaigning that much. when it comes to the numbers now, eight in ten americans believe the economy is in a bad position for everyone in the country, and they also believe that for their personal financial situation and for the first time in decades you see parents say they don't believe that their kids will be better off than they are when it comes to their economic prospects. that's a big deal and something that people vote on and so quote

the famous james carville, worked for the clintons and big democratic strategist, always said it's like the economy is stupid and certainly something people are looking at when it comes to candidates and what the options are. >> john: you mentioned nonwhite, not college-educated voters and biden is losing those. according to the "washington post," 19% down in the same period where the white college voters have gone up. what's interesting, the american enterprise institute surveyed moderate voters and found their unfavorable opinion of joe biden was 52%. and of former president trump is 76%. so he's got a little bit of edge there but while a lot of these voters identify with the democratic party, they also identify with a lot of republican policies as well. >> especially on the economy when it comes to big social issues like parental rights, for example. but when it comes to these elections nationally, when it comes to swing states

especially, these elections are very, very close. they are going to be close in 2024, they were close in 2022, they were close in 2020. each party and each nominee is going to need every single voter they can get and cannot take any of them for granted. so again, while you are seeing democrats pushing with the bail-out policies for student loans, you have republicans focusing on the economy, we'll see who wins and shakes out when it comes to november of 2024. >> sandra: we will indeed. great to have you here today. back to the illegal crossings, they continue at the southern border and fed up americans are asking for real solutions now. recent fox news polling rank immigration as the second most important issue among registered voters. do republican candidates have a strategy that voters can get behind. >> john: the city of san francisco is on the brink of economic catastrophe as more and more people and businesses pack up and move out. can officials turn the city around or is the doom loop it's

>> sandra: the city by the bay may be a city on the brink. san francisco's once crowded financial district has descended into a ghost town thanks to remote work and rising crime scaring away businesses and tourists. senior correspondent has more from the bay area for us. claudia, you are along the famous area in the downtown area. what is the feeling there like? we have been watching this happen for quite some time. but seems to only be getting worse. >> yeah, that's right, sandra. we are along the embarcadero near downtown, it's a beautiful day but the feeling is gloomy, nonetheless. san francisco used to be a place where visitors left their hearts and people wanted to work and live but today the city's main

newspaper has a report calling san francisco broken with dysfunction at city hall and a doom loop caused by people abandoning the tourist mecca, leaving fewer to pay taxes and deal with crime, turns more away. this recent video near fisherman's wharf shows criminals are free to steal with somebody in at least one of the cars. rapes are down compared to last year, murders, robbery and car thefts are way up. more than 4,000 people live on the streets of san francisco and those sidewalks are so dangerous employees at the nancy pelosi federal building near an open air drug market have been advised to work from home. that message is part of the problem, claim merchants who say remote work policies are devastating downtown. city leaders are working with business owners to improve conditions and hiring more police officers to address crime. but some observers predict a
