pulling governor desantis off the 2024 campaign trail. to avoid straining security resources in the storm ravaged areas, it looks like he will not be meeting the president today. we have live fox team coverage rick fox weather multimedia journalist katie byrne on the ground and live overt florida congressman michael wall standing by. first lucas tomlinson light at the white house. lucas, what more can you tell us about what we expect for the president's tour today? >> president biden and the first lady landed in gainesville just a few minutes ago. there airborne on marine one and touring the devastation in live oak which is located about halfway between tallahassee and jacksonville. before leaving for florida president biden spoke to reporters on the ramp at andrews. [inaudible] >> i do not think he is going to be there.

we are going to take care florida. >> now a spokesman for governor desantis had the governor will be in dixie company today which includes harsh she would be 20 hardest hit areas where that's about it hours south of live oak were biden and first lady will be. a spokesman for desantis said we do not have any plans for the governor to meet with the president today. these rural communities and so soon after impact. the security preparation of a loan that would going to setting up such a meeting was shut down ongoing recovery efforts. this is not what we heard from president biden here at the white house yesterday. he said he looked forward to meeting governor desantis in florida. on the flight down the fema administrator said she wants a $12 billion in supplemental funding to pay for the recovery effort. earlier this week governor desantis took a phone call from president biden will he was touring the damage in horseshoe beach. >> we are in horseshoe beach now it's pretty rough year. there's a lot of folks putting stuff together. but we will let her know. thanks so much.

>> now, i need and rich disaster politics date back a century of the mississippi river flooded in 19207 president calvin coolidge declined a visit despite urgent by senators and governors in november of that year there was another flood includes a home state of vermont again but he did not go. in both cases he dispatch the commerce secretary went on to become president herbert hoover. anita: it was good that will history lesson from you lucas tomlinson live at the white house thank you. our express and abide first lady are due anytime now and one of the hardest hit duties in florida damage stretches for miles to the city of live oak. it's not far from work idalia made landfall with the winds at topping 120 miles per hour but fox weather multimedia journalist katie byrne is live right now in live oak, katy? >> hyatt richford the president and lady should be arriving pretty soon we noticed a little bit of an increase in the police

presence on the ground. and once they get hear from survey the damage in the air he's going to a meeting with mel officials for a briefing on the response and recovery efforts. then expect the president to make a speech. this town of live oak as a county for suwannee county people are dealing with wind damage from the storm compared to the visuals you've seen the storm surge damage wipeout towns and nearby counties taylor and madison presell half of the county we are in right now is without power. some tell me they've gone days without even a hot shower. >> we were able to pick up ice, mre, and a tarp. it will help clean up water. lots of downed trees. two sheds. >> a power restoration continues to be the biggest priority in the days in the aftermath of the storm pretense of thousands are

still without power across the state at about half of the county is without power as well still. >> and katy in live oak thank you. anita: rich, let's bring in florida congressman mike for more on this but his district is a bit southeast of live oak. he serves on the house armed services foreign affairs and intelligence committees. he is also a former green beret. congressman thanks much for spending time with us today. i want to ask you first of all what do we expect from this visit by the president we know is not going to be touring with governor desantis. what you think that's all about? it sounds like there was some confusion there behind the scenes. >> i do not want to speculate athe governor has his security from the florida department of law enforcement. of course anytime the president moves has a big footprint with the secret service, air force one and everything that comes with him.

at the end of the day what is important is to make sure people are getting taken care of. i don't know that everyone realizes, we do going to the savior in florida there is a huge federal aspect of this. the u.s. department of transportation, there is hud, the area in the big band has a huge agricultural footprint. agriculture is the second largest part of our economy in florida behind tourism. a lot of farms a lot of branches. the department of agriculture will have to step in there. the army corps of engineers in terms of any shoreline at damage, restoration, dikes that were breached. it's in all of government both federal and state efforts to recover from these big storms pay to have the president making sure that us all working together. his team making sure it's all working together. we had the go button every

single year perimeter of the governors team is all over it. anita: no doubt there certainly are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes when something like this happens, no doubt. we note right now the president is taking an aerial tour. there certainly is widespread destruction as you might expect from a category three hurricane. thankfully the death toll was low. what are you hoping the president will do when he gets on the ground and meets with people? what are you hoping the prespresident will be able to do there? >> the good news is the people of cedar key and the big event are feeling this right now. it's the most's popular part of the state in terms of a property and individual damage. i think with these people are going to want to hear is that there all types of reimbursements and types of

assistance. their individual assistance. there's a property assistance. there's assistance for small businesses that may have been damaged or shut down. and the federal government is not going to be bureaucratic and slow in getting it out. that does not always happen. there hurricanes from years ago the local municipalities do not have big budgets particularly for debris removal to get the roads clear. and the power lines clear. they do not have big budgets and then they send that up the chain so to speak. they will need quick reimbursement for that's what they will want to hear from the president that his team will be on top of it. >> most certainly they will want to hear that. he had what might be best described as an awkward visit and now a part some criticizing the president for what seemed like a lack of empathy or sympathy for people who had lost their homes but lost their loved ones. dealing with horrific grief. the president was criticized for

his lack of ability to connect and consult people. what do you expect to see or hear from him this time in this regard? >> this is just after the two-year anniversary of the withdrawal from kabul. i was with those gold star families last week. president biden ran on being competent, being compassionate. we certainly did not see that the afghanistan withdrawal but we did not see that with maui. the fact they are coming down so quickly while recovery were really in the throes of recovery seems to me his team and communications team and optics learned their lesson. i am speculating, probably a smart speculation that's why they're rushing them down because of the criticism of maui. if you can see on your screen we have marine one lande landing rt now at the gainesville airport.

the gainesville regional airport part he is just coming back from the aerial tour of the damage. one thing to see this kind of damage after a storm or some kind of catastrophe but it's nothing to see it on tv and you know so well it is completely different experience to see it in person. what do you expect to hear the president say i'm talking about what he is witness firsthand. >> i certainly hope he talks about kitchen table issues and things that are going to directly affect their lives apseparate in terms of getting their businesses open getting a roads cleared, electricity turned on and all of those reimbursements for the state locals i talked about. and i for one as a veteran always, always appreciate national guardsmen and women. our coast guard men and women and our first responders. their homes take damage for their families are out there to

rather than being home taking care of their property there helping everybody else. i certainly hope he is loud and proud in taking care of our military. which right now is in the throes of the crisis for the florida national guard in particular does overseas deployments. and every year fully activated for the storms. those of the things i hope to hear from him but hope to hear some leadership some real compassion. we have not seen up-to-date. anita: marine one just landing now and live oak by mistake by the gainesville before he took off from there. now he is in live oak. he is he's getting off of the helicopter. and going to see some of the damage there and live oak where it is hardest hit. a quick question to you about his praise of how governor ron desantis has handled this tragedy so far.

he seemed to have some words of praise for him earlier in the week. what you think about that? >> look, governor desantis showed real leadership in the response to ian which was so devastating and southwest southwestflorida but he has shot again here. but i also have to say the team around him the florida national guard, the florida statewide law enforcement the department of emergency management, they have this in battle drill down. it's really about the team in florida i think also makes the government look good. >> definitely team effort. congressman think he was so much for your comments today. we will talk to you again soon. >> alrighty. rich: looking at these live pictures hear from live oak, florida living on new york city mayor eric adams trying to reassure new yorkers worried

about their privacy after the nypd announced that use drones to keep an eye on big gatherings this holiday weekend. this is all about noise complaints and not having drones check out what is on the grill at backyard barbecues beat cb cotton's life in new york newsroom. cb, what is going on here? this holiday weekend by the out on the beach at a barbecue or at a parade there is a chance a police drones may be up above monitoring what is going on. nypd says its own officers will be using them this weekend to monitor complaints and be strategic without officers respond, listen. >> like the mayor said is worried about sci-fi. we are using these drones as an extra resource. a force multiplier. we have a 311 calls they are complaining about noise, we can deploy the drones to see, it might just be people having a nice early party. we do not dig a place of any resources but we have one officer go over there with

partners, with doe go over and check our sound meters and say it's perfectly fine. we'll go about our business. and they can enjoy their night. >> drones were used about 80 times or public safety or emergencies through june of this year. each time requiring the chiefs approval. for example the city has been using drones to monitor shark activity at its beaches. the drones were also used back in early august when chaos broke out during a social media influencers and giveaway event in the city. but some privacy advocates of question whether the drone use violates the city's laws on police surveillance. a report released this summer from the american civil liberties union found more than 1400 police departments across the country already use these types of drones. a new york-based and tight surveillance nonprofit is calling on lawmakers to take action against this type of drone use. >> this is something ripe for

abuse. it's not just abstract agencies to get to use the tools its individual officers who choose which barbecue gets the drone. next privacy concerns swirl will reach out to the mayor's office for comment on this weekends drone use. we were directed back to the mayor's public remarks this week for quick cb cotton, thanks very much for it will have more on the surveillance plan the cities in migrant crisis new york city council minority leader joe joins us that's later this hour. take a look here. we've got live oak, florida effect on the florida and i were president biden has just gotten off marine one. he will be touring some the damage in the area but he will speak with personnel on the ground. he will handle briefings down there. this is all part of what the administration is doing. the president is highlighting to work on the administration recovery efforts down there but

often also traveling with him according to the white house is dan criswell. she's the head of fema bruce read the assistant to the president and a few other staff members traveling with him today. we will keep an eye on all that's going on at live oak, florida president biden tours the damage and the recovery there. anita: well, parent has the world over legendary sought singer and songwriter jimmy buffett died. he transformed like margaritaville into a billion-dollar empire of the restaurants, resorts, and so much more. he was 76 years old. madeline light at the margaritaville hotel in downtown atlanta to fan reaction. madeline, i bet there's quite a bit of reaction. >> and anita, there is. he was a songwriter a businessman, an author and a pilot produced fans know him best for the laid-back vibes he

exuded in his songs. here is what one fan had to say about his passing. >> and listen to the music surrounded by friends and family. just spending -- mccarty being since i live so far from where i live in a glance at my family is in massachusetts. i do get to go back and when i do get to celebrate moments with them margaritaville, cheeseburger in paradise is always on the background. >> buffett was born in mississippi but is in key west where he got his footing as a songwriter. his laid-back rhythms reflecting his lifestyle at the time. overall buffett sold more than 20 million albums around the world. one of its biggest hits, margaritaville, was the inspiration for a billion-dollar empire of hotels and restaurants boarding the same name. margaritaville. ♪ ♪ ♪ hang on, hang on, hang on ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> president biden among those sharing tributes he wrote in part we have the honor to meet and get to know jimmy over the years. he was in a life as he was performing on stage but full of ggoodwill and joy at using his gift to bring people together. a statement of buffett's website said he passed away away peacefully on september 1 surrounded by semi, friends, music and dogs made the statement goes on to say he lived his life like a song until the very last breath. and it will be missed to be on measured by so many because of death was not mentioned, he is survived by his wife, two daughters and son. anita: definitely alleged into so many of his fans. thank you so much live in atlanta. rich. privacy consumes and safety the nypd plans you surveillance drones joe burrell is going to way and coming up next.

rich: let's get back to our top stories drone surveillance implants and the questions they are raising over security versus privacy be joining us out new york city council minority leader joe borelli. council member, thank you for joining us afternoon. what you think of this whole thing? do you fear there will be a drone falling around the backyard this weekend or was going on here? what's the many circumstances use of drones is very beneficial for first responders we are using them for about a year now with great success. we have seen them used to track sharks and in the same way as helicopters are in trucking mass

gatherings of people in protests and parks. but this program, as is announced for the labor day weekend is really a new and unprecedented stepford we are trying but noise complaints we are not talking about missing fugitives where perhaps the civil liberty -- but the bells between civil liberties and surveillance might be skewed. we are talked about noise complaints for the fact the police went to drone into your backyard to see how many people you are having at a party is really a scary step for policing in general but we also live in a very vertical city. is it safe to say the police could now potential use a drone to peek into apartments high up in the sky? these are all questions a city council on the state legislature should really ring them and on. rich: went to move onto another issue of new york is facing right now processing migrant crisis on going though the billions of dollars the city said it spent housing tens of thousands of people. you have now got a report that

family units people come across the southern border there's more and august according to report the washington post than ever before there's a high back may or the previous administration this beats about. what are you expecting and how much is that change what this does for new york? look closer at the question why it wouldn't these folks come here? they certainly heard new york city as a sanctuary state we welcome them and pay for them with open arms. give them healthcare and free education. anyone we see crossing the border will somehow soon end up in new york city at some point. the problem for us as a price tag is now 12 billion. we are we're talking $500 billion price tag. the price tag has gone up 24 times. twenty-five times.

it's a problem not going away as long as the border is open. as long as new york city and encourages people to come. mary ann's is push the federal government to step in with sonic with assistance how would you think the mayor has handled this and what should he be doing differently? excessive from the buses around we first started the crisis this was some sort of a woke experiment to virtue signal how great we were. people the mayor was out there greeting at the bus depot. the governor has to share and thin theburden sheet represent a sanctuary state as well as we represent a sanctuary city. we want these people to be shifted out of new york and our roles somewhere else. it's deeper than that.

we are seeing the national park service sites used to house migrants. why is it to new york city they could house by the liberty bell or the national bought mall or any one of the wonderful parks around the country. the biden administration has allowed for parks properties or they should allow for national park properties everywhere. >> what he think about the move in albany to try to end the sanctuary status for new york or the requirement that you as a city house people who are homeless. it's certainly something mayor adams is doing great too. we are limited by a dissent decree the mayor is in court a 60 day eviction notice. that has to happen is right about that.

it certainly supportive of him. wthe keep backfilling those evictions eventually but those coming across the border today the situation won't end and it won't get any better. >> joe, next to the council minority leader, thanks so much for joining us this afternoon. >> thank you. rich: we will be right back. get help reaching your goals with j.p. morgan wealth plan, a digital money coach in the chase mobile® app. use it to set and track your goals, big and small... and see how changes you make today...

the president took a tour in a marine one so that he could see the damage from a different view. from an aerial view. we may get some remarks from him later today but we certainly will keep you posted on that. alrall right moving on now, stil on florida -- met committees mya cross-border picking up the pieces after hurricane idalia but for some it will mean starting over from scratch after catastrophic damage to their homes and businesses. the worse, sometimes invest that comes out and people there is resilience amid the rebels. as neighbors come together for talks with the correspondent max gorden hasn't update. >> here on cedar key the cleanup is well underway. as you can see behind me the damage is extensive for this after a 7-foot storm surge inundated parts of the island damaging homes and businesses here. hurricane idalia made landfall about 60 miles where we are

sending along florida's big bend. that marks on florida cosine from the hurricane visible from space. there is not the same loss of life is during hurricane ian covenant ron desantis confirmed one person died in a vehicle crash during the storm the will also be costly could hit $20 billion. power provider duke energy estimates 95% of the hardest hit areas will have power restored by tonight. here on cedar key cleanup efforts have been moving along neighbors have been helping one of the scrub mud out of buildings impacted by the storm surge and cart await debris. people i've spoken to said they want to build things back say the storm has not made them want to move away. >> i'm from the big city i like it i hear it's nice and quiet everybody knows everybody pretty cedar key is a small family. when something at this happens we come together help each other out. this would be support and help their progress some of the buy demonstration requested an additional $4 billion for disaster fund at that hit the

u.s. rich and anita back to you for. >> max gorden, thank you so much for that story. >> former new mexico governor united nations ambassador bill richardson has died. richardson center for global engagement he founded said he died in his sleep at his summer home and chatham, massachusetts he was elected governor in 2002 served two terms before that he was ambassador to united nations secretary of energy under president bill clinton. richardson devoted as post- split left to negotiate the release of american prisoners and hostages of north korea, iran, sudan and other nations. he was 75 years old. also north korea is at it again. launching several cruise missiles into d.c. after the united states and south korea. kitty logan has more on this. kitty? >> tight rich, south korean officials they detected earlier on saturday.

off the west coast of north korea for these launches are happening ever more frequently since the start of last year. north korea has carried out about one third weapons test. many of those were ballistic launchers, all bound by the united nations security council. the latest launches today are in response to recent joint drills which were in the u.s. and south korea but both of those countries and course of monitoring the situation in the north very closely with the leadership has regarded those in joint military drills as hostile. north korea firing two more short range missiles into the sea a few days ago. while those exercises were ongoing, it says this is to simulate a nuclear attack on south korea. so, as those tensions continue to rise in the region a russian defense minister recently visited to seek support for the war in ukraine. now there is thought to be very warm relationship between russia

and north korean leaders but meanwhile north korea has been trying to launch a space satellites and military spy satellite. that has so far failed i its thought to be tried that one again back to you, richard. >> kitty logan l life for us ths afternoon thank you. >> thanks rich. michael pillsbury is the heritage foundation senior fellow for china strategy. michael, thanks so much for coming in today. i want to ask you right off the bat about this latest missile launcher heard from our reporter it comes after a series of joint drills between the military south korea and the united states that wrapped up thursday. that is when the missiles began launching they began launching wednesday. kitty logan also said we have had more than a 100 weapons test over the last year. what is the north korean trying to say here?

>> thanks and yet does a very sharp contrast between president trump's approach and what president biden is doing. the north korean missile test the 100 test as referred too. this is something quite new. hunter biden and an attempt to intimidate him because biden restarted the u.s. south korea at military exercise program. you recall president trump's approach was the most important thing is not to develop nuclear weapons in north korea. he was willing to visit with the leader of north korea. he was willing to cancel our exercises and reduce our provocations to north korea. biden has reverse that in order to look tough at home he has improved the number of these and added to the provocation with camp david summit a couple weeks ago bringing the japanese into it. what we are seeing here is a move toward war. it's opposite of what is trying to do per. >> a lot of people cozying up to

the dictator. during his administration. turn the topic to u.s. relations with china. a number of u.s. official senior u.s. official met with eight member of the chinese delegation during a conference in fiji earlier this month. that meeting follows a number of cabinet members who have held meetings in china during the last several months including debussy secretary of state anthony blanck and treasury secretary yellen, special climate envoy john kerry. most recently congress secretary jean at were mondo. these are the top folks there from the biden administration as far as make any progress or to take a look at this quote in up in the wall street journal take a look at this. recent u.s./china talks despite meeting with chinese leaders should jinping in june, blinken came home empty-handed for the chinese government would not even agree to establish a military to military crisis hotline.

the most newsworthy part of yellen's trip was she inadvertently ate magic mushrooms and the chinese officials were buffed kerri's call for quicker climate action. and before arrived chinese hacker broke into her e-mail account. expectations so low her announcement of two new dialogues to manage u.s./china economic tensions might seemed like progress. unfortunately it is anything but. kind of a scathing review from the wall street journal. let me get your take on that. >> i happen to like the author nick columnist josh rogan very much. he's when the best authors on u.s./china relations by far he is a book about the whole issue. what is pointing out is quite true. he did not add that in each of these cases is for cabinet officers going to beijing, the biden ministration invited china to reciprocate to send their counterpart to beijing which is in a way harmless. china refused.

they won't send any cabinet minister here but to make things worse the biden team wanted to restart the negotiations with china that president trump had going. the trade talks for example. tran is simply cold shouldering the biden ministration they will not start talks on trade they do nothing on the climate talks that john kerry proposed. increasingly lights by bombers and jet fighters around the island of taiwan which also did not happen under president trump. biden is caught between his desire to be tough for reelection and to show these rumors about the biden family in china are not true. he's tough on china. he's got between that and the chinese cold shouldering him in his own base therefore putting pressure on him to send these for cabinet level officials but that's not working out either. so i do not know what to advise the president biden other than to get back to your original policy two years ago your imitating president trump and

being tough on china. i don't think biden is going to do that. he's kind of caught in a dilemma now. >> it sure seems that way for just quickly, all of this these meetings were supposed to set the stage for president biden to have it meeting with xi jinping possibly on the u.s. soil in sn francisco later this year in november. tyou expect that to happen? >> i doubt it. our president was just establish they're supposed to be a g20 meetings coming up soon in new delhi, india because of the border friction on some tough policies in a deli, and yet xi jinping has announced he's not going to the meeting. in other words he's holding hostage the biden ministration you are nice to me and make concessions i will meet you in san francisco and make you look good. unless i won't make you look bad. chinese are pretty smart i think. >> we will not hold our breath on that meeting in november but we'll see what happens. michael pillsbury thanks so much for insight today pretty great to see you. ]

anita: stay with us we will be right back. a never-hide-my-smile day... a life-of-the-party day... a take-on-the-world day... a believe-in-myself day... a flash-my-new-teeth day. because your clearchoice day is the day you get your confidence back for good. a clearchoice day changes every day. schedule a free consultation. when i first learned about my dupuytren's contracture, my physician referred me to a hand specialist. and i'm glad he did, because when i took the tabletop test, i couldn't lay my hand flat anymore. the first hand specialist i saw only offered surgery. so, i went to a second hand specialist who also offered nonsurgical options — which felt more right for me. so, what i'd say to other people with dupuytren's contracture is this: don't wait — find a hand specialist

trained in nonsurgical options, today. i found mine at findahandspecialist.com.

anita: idalia came to shore as a category three hurricane but there you see him standing next to his wife that is senator rick scott. they are at a school in live oak, florida. they are addressing some people who have gathered there. let's listen in real quick and see if we can hear something. what does of the federal government is doing and being a great partner is a big deal with the thank you very much for doing that. >> i notice one thing i didn't know.

we are so grateful for that. we are also grateful, this could have been worse. as far as i note no loss of life or serious injury rate we are very thankful for that. as the senator said we are -- mcgavran thanks florida's rich but this is one of the richest counties in the state. there are people suffering especially you notice like in delaware. the heat and humidity is pretty bad here. no air conditioning, no power but hopefully we'l will have thp and running. ink is so much for coming. we appreciate all your doing. >> think it mayor >> and out like to ask to come forward. >> welcome mr. president, first lady. i want to thank you for being here to welcome you to this county we appreciate all the assistance there surely more coming. i've you can see my flying

around or add community is pretty much took a hard hit i went to thank you. it's all going with fatalities we will continue with the local power companies duke energy. as well as other non- contractors contacted local business for convenient stores s for gas and that sort of thing that is ongoing want to thank the citizens, the incidence get out, pulled out a chainsaw and help the neighbor get a tree off the house or open up a driveway they could not get out of. the people did not sit and wait they got out and help themselves that's pretty amazing thing to

see. i just want to thank you for coming and appreciate being here. >> yes, sir. >> chief, fire department again i just want to reiterate what they said. thanks everybody for coming. where we stand right now to get an update on this our search and rescue was 90% complete. our communications obviously continued to be a problem for they are getting better every day. our city utilities they are up one 100% on backup generators. i do not have an accurate number of where our power grid stands. live oak itself is probably 75%.

so again, i cannot thank you enough for being here for us. like the governor said, we are really economically challenged area. the help that has come in, i cannot say thank you enough. anita: okay, yes we appeared to have lost our signal from live oak, florida put what we are looking as a community meeting there on the ground in live oak, florida for the president is there to visit and surveyed the damage left behind by hurricane idalia is joined by his wife jill biden, the fema administrator, send it rick scott. they were fielding sort of updates from representatives of the community who thanked the president for the speed in which he was able to declare a

disaster. bringing in badly needed federal dollars to help on the ground. one of the members of the community thanks to the president for shining a light on their neighborhood. on their region or they were so badly hit. they said we took a hard hit but thank you so much for coming and shining the light. and bringing your wife. easy to appreciate that. members of the community given the president and update on how they are doing in the wake of the storm. the president earlier day had an aerial view he went been marine at one and took an aerial view of the damage. thankfully the storm left behind a very low death tool. so far we know one person who has died. but the damage on the ground is catastrophic. thousands of homes and structures destroyed it. that is why they need those federal dollars. to come in and help with the recovery effort. it is a massive effort. rich, i know you've covered the

sinks before as well. >> we have heard from some of the reporting earlier their people need water for the people need supplies. people need power in that area. part of the reason that shot drop the video we have the live feed from that area and florida is because cell service is so weak in that area. it was in elementary school by the way we are looking at it's also being used as a red cross shelter for their cot in the hallways. the reporter on the scene traveling with the president said they pass a children and their parents and elderly people all in there. it's an area of the countries air the state that an fun help. the president touring it firsthd as you mentioned. federal assistance would come of the backend that is how fema works how it comes in. there's a big fight in congress how to put more money into fema as the fema administrator has warned they are running out of money there. also mentioned senator rick scott is there. and all of these meetings continue, and eat it.

>> that is right too. we were able to drop in on just a little bit of that. we are going to be monitoring for the rest the day sue else the president has to say. we are going to be watching that you never know when the president could say something interesting but got a camera on the ground and hopefully we will get the cell service back up and get the signal back up and see what's going on. >> exactly the same moment by moment thing we are back at 4:0l editorial report, that is coming up next. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! uuuhhhh... here, i'll take that! woohoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar.
