it's happening everywhere. welcome back to "america reports," i am sandra smith in new york. >> john: even though they seem to be running around that building with impunity, officials are saying we don't know of any apartment building take over. i'm john roberts in washington. a former resident of the apartment complex sharing this disturbing video with fox news and a city official says they are behind the violence at the apartment complex. speak to the venezuelan gang is linked to dozens of crimes across the country and leaders have reportedly given the green light to open fire on police. federal prosecutors have linked them to the migrant suspect accused of murdering lincoln riley. a former fbi official says the way this gang openly operates in the u.s. is a major problem. >> it is concerning that an armed gang would think they can operate the same way and our country that they did in other countries. in order to exploit the border they need to have relationships with mexican cartels which are very powerful peered venezuelan gangs operating in the

united states with a relationship to mexican cartels is very concerning. >> john: mike hoffman is the mayor of aurora, colorado, and he will join us to talk about the threat to his town from this migrant gang. but we begin our coverage with senior correspondent alicia acuna. she has live in denver. what more do we know about that frightening video? >> john, aurora police are actually not confirming that the men in this video are connected to the gang. however, some who live in the denver suburb including a city council member and cyst it has a large and dangerous presence. and the doorbell video shared with fox, you can see a group of five men walking up the serial at the end of lowry apartments. one is a long gone and three others with handguns and one is on the phone peered we don't know who lives behind that door but watch the second video. [gunshots]

>> those guys appeared to be forcing their way into that apartment. edward and sidney romero said they felt so unsafe they decided to be unsafe. this is how they used to lock things up. >> when we come home, we need to do this everything a time we go outside to check out the gar garbage. every time we tried to go to bed at night. we need to keep it like this so no one can kick in the door. >> aurora pd is not linking the building to the gang a telling fox apd has been increasingly collecting evidence to show that the gang is connected to crimes in the area however it would be improper at this time for the city and apd to make it conclusory statements about specific incidents or provide details about law enforcement strategy and operations. in addition to all of this while making arrests near el paso, texas, homeland security investigations links the gang to a recent violent jewelry store

robbery and nearby denver and the douglas county sheriff's office in colorado apprehended three suspects from venezuela in an auto theft ring. none of those suspects have officially been confirmed as being enacted to tda. >> john: certainly officials in new york city are talking openly about the havoc being wreaked there. thank you peered sandra. >> sandra: let's bring an mayor mike hoffman, the mayor of aurora, colorado. thank you for coming on with us. it seems that it is tough to even get confirmation of the details of what is going on there. first off, can you confirm whether or not this gang has taken over these buildings there in aurora? >> there are several buildings. actually under the same ownership appeared out of state ownership. they have fallen to these venezuelan gangs. i'm trying to walk it back and do the investigation as to how. there is a concentration of venezuelans in these three buildings.

somebody put them there and somebody funded it. whether it was federal government or not we are trying to find out who. these gangs apparently are attracted to where there is a concentration of venezuelan migrants. they have in fact been pushed out of the property management through intimidation and collected the right. we now have had, it is ongoing operations with a task force, local law enforcement, state law enforcement partners and federal law enforcement partners and arrests have been made but these are still ongoing. >> sandra: with the arrests that have been made, are they confirmed gang affiliated members? >> this is an organized criminal effort. whether it is trying to aragua, that remains to be seen but it does not matter.

if they are venezuelan migrants. >> you are able to confirm thats indeed taken over at least some of the buildings. you are saying at least two of the three and what i just heard from you is you don't know how they ended up there. and you made a suggestion that they could have been sent there by federal officials? i heard you suggest. do you have any reason to believe that to be the case? >> here's the problem. i think we are a victim of a failed policy at the southern border because what you have, venezuela according to my law enforcement, venezuela does not cooperate with the united states and sharing criminal histories. you've had a third of the country leave. you have had these massive waves of migrants coming across the border that many of them cross the border illegally, were

arrested, asked for political asylum, were not adequately vetted, were released into the country. the city of aurora, we did everything we could to quite frankly keep them out of the city because it is not our problem. this is a federal problem, a problem for the federal government. but what we are trying to find out and what i believe occurred is federal agencies worked with some of our local nonprofits and put them there. most of these people are very good. good people. but there is a criminal element that from what i understand, from what law enforcement has said, that often follows them and intends to exploit them within their own migrant community. we believe that is happening now. we are a large city with 400,000 population. this is only several apartment complexes but i'm not going to surrender any part of the city to a criminal element.

>> sandra: with all due respect, it's no longer in the hands of the feds when we have heard reports that this gang has it green-lighted its members to attack your local police. what are you doing about that, mayor? >> we are aware of that in the different metropolitan areas that there are elements here so in terms of how our police operate, the tactics and what they are doing to protect themselves is our number one priority. >> sandra: i think about how aurora tried to position themselves versus denver and all of this. with denver being the sanctuary steady status in a way. and aurora. >> denver has historically been a sanctuary city and aurora has not. that's why we took the position again that we were not going to expend any public dollars on this migrant crisis nor would we

be a conduit for a state or federal dollars to provide assistance. not our problem. federal problem. border issue. they need to resolve it not us but somehow we got sucked into this. and we are a victim again of this policy. >> sandra: that is a big somehow and i would expect you are probably very personally trying to get down to the bottom of that. when we watch as video, we have had this video playing all day on our network, we started airing it obviously earlier today and our viewers obviously see this and think complete shock that this is apparently -- have you confirmed anything about the people on the screen? this building? can you tell us anything about the video and what we are seeing. >> it is that intimidation factor. you have venezuelan gang members who have gone into an apartmentd

push out the property management through intimidation and now they are intimidating the tenants there to pay them rent and probably extort other things from them. it's a terrible situation. certainly not the whole city. it is three apartment complexes but it is very serious nonetheless and so hopefully we will be able to -- the challenge is in part that you have this is unfortunately part of the fabric of venezuela where you have the police and venezuela are only there to protect the government and they are not there to protect the people so there is so much criminality and unfortunately some of that has come up with migrants here and we are confronting it. again.

>> sandra: a last question on confronting it. i know you are a busy guy and we will let you get going because you have a huge problem to tackle there and aurora. finishing up with this cookie monster gang leader. so he is called. "the new york post" has reported on him setting up operations right there in your town, mayor. cookie monster is there. this guy is responsible for some heinous crimes. i mean what are you actively doing right now to get a hold of him and arrest him? >> he has been arrested and he is off the street. >> sandra: that would be news. he's gone and off the street? where is he? >> he is being held. he is being apprehended. >> sandra: i would imagine he's a huge source of information as to how the gang ended up in your town. >> it's beyond that. it's out of this whole community in our town. because i'm concerned beyond the gang issue where there is a

secondary issue. the secondary issue, desperate people do desperate things and you have this -- all of these migrants coming up. the venezuelan migrants don't have access -- they have a legal status in the country. pending their asylum claims but they don't have access to work permits for six months. so there are some secondary issues that we are concerned about but right now the priority is this gang issue. >> sandra: and the feds are involved, correct? >> the feds are involved. law enforcement is involved. >> sandra: i understand. mayor, we appreciate you coming on pier people have a lot of questions over what they are seeing in your town. we have more on the migrant situation coming up. some buses, apparently migrants try to get on elementary school buses in california. we will have a data related to that situation coming up. mayor, thank you. >> thank you. >> sandra: that is an incredible situation the mayor is dealing with there and people are frightened and we been working the phones trying to get businesses to come on a talk

about what's happening there and they don't want to talk. spewing people are afraid. i thought it was interesting this guy cookie monster is off of the street and i notice that the mayor was hesitant to say where he's being held. i expected there is a risk that members of the gang would try to break him out. >> sandra: wow. we will keep following up on that story. >> john: we move forward into this. another setback for the biden-harris administration student loan bailout efforts. the supreme court shutting down its latest plan to cancel debt for millions of borrowers. fox business is edward lawrence live at the white house. what kind of followed are we seeing after the supreme court's decision on this? >> the fallout is still defiance from this administration. the supreme court squashed the dreams of presidential biden and vice president harris to give the student loan forgiveness leading up to the selection. the decision here has maintained that no more student bailout money would go out until after the merits of the case are litigated but the administration

is still taking applications. so far taxpayers has paid $168 billion to forgive loans for about 4.8 million people. in a tweet the vice president saying we are also fighting to defend our safe land which has lowered payments for millions of americans and we won't stop fighting to build an economy that works for every american. a white house spokesperson angela fernandez hernandez said our administration will continue to aggressively defend the save plan. critics say it is all political. >> this is the policy. it is schizophrenic. they are trying to buy votes from the student loan forgiveness plan and here they are worsening the position and they know it and they don't c care. >> the budget model is the cost. the total cost of the student loan bailouts would be up to $536 billion over ten years. that is $54 billion a year taxpayers would have to pay. the u.s. supreme court already ruled that congress is the only one who has the authority to

appropriate that much money for a program. the biden-harris administration change the rules on existing plans to widen who gets debt forgiveness. those rule changes is what is being litigated right now. >> john: any chance any of the money that has already got out the door has gone to be clawed back? >> that money is gone. they will not get that back. the courts have maintained that money out the door. they are looking at this point forward so the money out the door is already gone. >> john: add lawrence with the latest on that. thank you. now this. >> 20 illegal migrants tried to get on a bus today out of 1 of our bus stops. it's just scary that these kids are put into the situation. >> sandra: a concerned mother describing him more than a dozen illegal migrants tried to get on a school bus that was picking up elementary school students. 8-year-old kids were on the bus at the time. we will speak to a father who has a child in that district and

what he thinks of all of that coming up. >> john: vice president harris sits down for her first on-camera interview since announcing her white house run. why critics are tearing into her decision to have a helper on board. our panel and former senior advisor to hillary clinton and kaylee mcghee white with the ski boat institute on how this could shape the race. stay tuned. >> if she is floundering or attempting to craft a sentence going nowhere and she can't find a period, walz will help her out there and that will be a big tell. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need, and the flavor you love. so, here's to now... now available: boost max!

governor tim walz. our panel antjuan seawright former advisor to hillary clinton and south carolina kaylee mcghee white with the steamboat institute will be joining us on that. but first, mark meredith is in savannah for us. are the stakes for this interview getting higher? >> sandor, i would say so. the vice president's taping her interview now. you can imagine for her this could give her a chance to continue to build on the momentum she has had ever since last week's convention or with the republicans this could give them the opening they need to try to back some of the momentum to their side of the aisle as they try to reshape the race. vice president has certainly been on the trail the last couple of weeks visiting multiple battleground states during events but during those events she has kept the press at arm's length. only answering a few questions at a time from the press pool. likely to face questions now about the policy changes as she has embraced her and she said she would ban fracking and now she embraces it. slams the border wall and now

supports wall funding. it could be attempts to win over voters on areas where former president trump is leading. he's ahead of harris on immigration, economy, and the war in the middle east according to our latest fox survey. this has been of course the former president making it clear that he wants today's interview to slow down any of the democratic momentum. he posted today on his social media page this will expose her as being totally inept and ill suited for the job of president. much as i exposed cricket joe biden during our now famous debate. no doubt this is been a whirlwind of a few weeks for all the candidates involved and while harris has the momentum now, there is some friction happening on what was the biden campaign headquarters now under harris. they are wearied of making the biden people feel set aside and that is led to in kernel confusion about who is in charg. there is confusion about what may happen now between trump and

harris. the harris campaign saying they are in talks with abc about whether or not the knights will be left on the entire time. the first debate we saw the candidates mike commuted. right now it is anyone's bet on what will happen. >> sandra: taking in the tunes and rocking out in savannah, georgia. thank you so much. >> i'm trying. >> john: for more on democracy 24, let's bring in antjuan seawright former senior advisor to hillary clinton and the fabulous south carolina. he also advised the dnc during the 2020 general election where harris was the vp and kaylee mcghee white, a fellow with the steamboat institute. here is what "the new york post" said about the interview. that likely still going on right now with harris and tim walz. all signs are that commonly harasses big interview will be an infomercial. this is the woman that wants to be the first female president unable to face an objective reporter live on her own. how will she handle adversaries like vladimir putin or xi jinping?

it looks less like an interview and more of an infomercial all spin from start to finish paired what do you say? >> i think that is a bit much of misrepresenting the facts as sitting vice president she has done 80 interviews alone herself and quite frankly this idea that commonly harris, former prosecutor and former attorney general former united states tennis, hbc hbcu grad, habit it to be a woman, happened to be black cannot sit for an interview by herself, i think it is quite frankly disrespect will. >> john: why would a woman with her record not set? >> the other thing i would remind "new york post" and others it is customary for democrats and republicans to sit with their running mate for their first interview post the convention, post the parties convention. this is not anything new to the process. this is true to the process as she continues to interfere with the american people she will sit tonight. i'm totally confident this will not be the only interview she will sit for including ones she

will do a solo as well as governor walz. >> john: let's hope. and once as its customer appeared we saw trump and vance do want together was one of a lot of interviews. this is the first one she has done. she did how many interviews before. >> sandra: and people wouldn't be reading into it two months it were not the first pretaped interview set under conditions clearly meant to shield her from taking as many questions as otherwise would be possible if tim walz was not there and this is a larger pattern of democrats here. for as much talk as democrats have about preserving norms and saving norms from donald trump, all that they have done this election cycle is destroyed norms. starting with the unprecedented effort to push joe biden out, to replace him with a candidate who did not receive a single primary vote to serve as a presidential candidate and now we have a presidential candidate who refuses to release an agenda,

refuses to release policies, refuses to sit down with the press and let voters evaluate her record. that is norm busting. voters have a right to decide which policies they prefer and she has not given them that right. >> respectfully, she is interviewing with the american people and democrats, republicans, independents, independent thinkers are responding that's why 200 plus former republican officials signed a letter in support. 70,000 plus republicans on a zoom call. you see what was once uncertain ground become fertile ground even republicans are concerned it down the ballot about the polls being the way that they are and battleground states, $540 million raised, $82 million in one week. >> john: will you acknowledge there is no policy page on her website? >> when did we start hiring about policy pages on websites when every single time she steps to the podium that she talks about her policy in such a direct way that voters are responding. >> john: can you tell me what

her border policy is? >> she sit on day when she would sign the bipartisan border legislation that j.d. vance and donald trump have taken credit for killing and not getting. >> john: what is her policy on fracking question works because she will introduce it. her interview tonight should give her the opportunity to share what every policy agenda she wants and as a process goes along she will continue to do that. many people cannot tell me what trump policies are on these issues. drill baby drill is not a policy paired what is his policy on the border? i haven't heard it from the candidate. >> this is the problem. spew and we haven't heard from the candidate nor can you find it on the website. >> we have heard her economic agenda. >> come harris believes that she is entitled to votes. she does not want to or not. this is why it is so important for candidates to release a public policy platform. voters have the right to evaluate an agenda. you do not get to walk into the white house and do whatever you want.

you are accountable to the american voters and democrats have made sure that she will not be if she is elected. >> john: i want to go to something else here because kamala harris so far since she got the nomination is always unfriendly territory. going into cnn is the biggest chance that she has taken but take a look at the chance that j.d. vance took just a little while earlier today at the international association of firefighters convention in boston. listen here. >> think you guys. thank you so much. semper fi, guys. sounds like we have some fans and some haters, that's okay. let's listen to what i have to say here and i will make my pitch. >> john: he went into a place where half of the audience booed him and he said we have some haters and some fans. let me make the pitch. what kamala harris ever put herself in that situation? >> she has. >> john: during this campaign? since she became the nominee? >> she has only been the nominee for five weeks.

she is introducing herself to the american people and they booed j.d. vance because they do not agree with him on policy. why? because policy has been a part of the conversation. >> they know his policy paired. >> they know kamala harris is which is why they've embraced her. you don't get the energy and the response from the american people without having a sense. >> you do if the leftist media has run an entire hype campaign to disguise the fact that she has no policy. >> it's always the leftist media. >> john: you also get it if the democrats say thank god it is in joe biden. >> why is she getting so much republican support question works because she is not getting republican support. >> i just laid it out for you. 70,000 run a zoom call last week. spewing ladies and gentlemen we need to leave there. great to see you in the studio. spirited conversation. >> sandra: good stuff. a california school districts sounding the alarm now as migrants repeatedly target buses

full of elementary students. we will get brand-new reaction to this developing story with a concerned parent. >> john: plus the man suspected of killing former university ohio students in cold blood back in court today and why his defense team is fighting to get his trial moved. dan springer up next with the latest on that. >> it looks like they are making the case that bryan kohberger cannot get a fair trial here. all of the details coming up after the break. so, no more sweating all night or blasting the air conditioning. because the tempur-breeze feels up to 10° cooler, all night long. don't miss our biggest sale of the year, with savings up to $700 on select adjustable mattress sets.

he is the parent of an 8-year-old child at the hummel does a union school district. he joins us now. we are in the early stages of hearing what happened. but we are not playing any video chip of this happening because we don't have any yet but theres a local official who said whistle-blower parents reached out to her. they said their kids were on the bus at the time that migrants tried to push their way on board and we hear this happened two days in a row. you are a concerned parent although you said your son was not onboard either of these buses, but you heard about it and you have been contacted by the district about it. what do you know and what can you share about this? >> i am actually that whistle-blower. i am the one who contacted another fellow politician out here. i received a notification on our schools app telling parents to read an email in regards to a

situation that happened on the school bus with migrants trying to attempt to board our school bus. they were blocking the road so that they could try to get on. >> sandra: thank you for that. i'm just reading through the statement here. it seems that they are saying to concerned parents this is happening. they have said they are in touch with border patrol, the sheriff's office, chp throughout the day. but they are suggesting that parents if you see migrants at a stop and you are concerned, go to the next one. what are you supposed to do now as a parent dealing with this? >> the problem with that is this is what we're going to have to do every time. our hope is when we are taking our kids to the bus stop, this is where they are supposed to be

picked up so that way we can make sure they get to school and we can get to work as parents. it is a huge concern. over east to west and how, where we have an influx of more than a thousand migrants a day coming through rate there and we are having migrants come through another road in the dols area. it's a concern with our kids. we want to make sure they are safe, we want to make sure they are able to get to school safely and being able to come home safely and have a great day and tell us about how school was. >> sandra: absolutely. >> not about they are too scared to ride the bus and we have a couple kids who i've been told from other parents who said they were too scared to ride the bus

this morning peered so one of the parents took the kids to school in their own personal vehicle. >> sandra: and that was today. what are parent supposed to do about every day? even the notification from the district said they had the director of transportation follow the buses the day after the two incidences to ensure everyone got home safely. but that was one day. what about the next day, what about the next day. this crisis doesn't go away. the number of people coming over the border certainly has not slowed. what do you plan to do as a community to stand up against this? >> i was just informed during the commercial break one of our community members out is it going to be hosting a huge community meeting. we're going to have chp there, border patrol, and our sheriff's department. the san diego county sheriff's department there. we are going to try to come up

with a plan so we can make sure our kids are safe. i am a community advocate and a huge community representative in our area where i live. so we are hoping we can come up with some kind of plan that we can work with our local, state, and federal law enforcement to make sure our kids are being able to go. >> sandra: do know when that meeting will take place? >> yes. it's going to be this saturday at 10:00 a.m. >> sandra: got it. okay. there's a lot to take in there and a lot that you guys are dealing with and we appreciate you joining us. i'm sure there's a lot of other concerned parents at this mo moment. >> yes. i've also asked him one of our local news stations, i would love for the school district to hopefully release the footage

from the buses so we can see. >> sandra: do they have it? have they said they had footage on the bus? >> i don't know if they do, but those buses are a nationwide grand bus called bluebird. most of those buses should come with some kind of dashcam footage. i hope there is some kind of footage out there that we could see so we know what our kids and other parents who were at that bus stop and that bus driver experience. >> john: one final question and i will let you go. i know you have a lot to do there. you are going to try to get the video footage. you are suggesting there could be and likely is video footage of the bus. we have been reporting because it has been what we have heard that the migrants were not actually able to board the buses. they were trying to push their way on but they were unsuccessful. do you know of anybody who was

able to get on the buses? >> as far as for what i've been told, no migrants were able to get on the bus. tank fully. that makes me happy. the safety and security of our children as well because we don't know who these migrants are. some of these nonprofits might say they are asylum-seekers, some of them won't. but at the end of the day, we don't know. could these migrants or illegal immigrants or aliens be human traffickers, sex traffickers, what if they got on the bus and overpowered the driver and the next thing you know our kids are kidnapped. we don't know. >> sandra: bottom line they are strangers. and it is supposed to be a safe environment for kids on that school bus and we know one of the school bus drivers was responsible for stopping them from getting on the bus. thank you very much jeremy.

>> real quickly, i do just want to say "i do" appreciate the school district for their fast response and being able to get that information out and hopefully we can do more to make our kids safe. >> sandra: understood. they've issued a statement and acknowledge this happen. jeremy, thank you. john, as any parent would be, he is concerned. >> john: he has. and i looked up a california law. apparently california school buses are not allowed to have camera onboard the school buses while they are in operation. >> sandra: may be a kid had one. >> john: may be local laws allow it. we will see. nice interview with him. parents have to be concerned. former president trump set to address a michigan crowd today on the economy. how talk of an electrical vehicle mandate is igniting both sides. columnist with the detroit news on how the hot-button issue could sway boaters. standby for that.

>> john: former president trump is in michigan today to talk about the economy, inflation, and manufacturing. that area is slated to benefit from government investments into electric vehicle technology. it is a hot button election issue with vp harris flip-flopping on her ev mandate stance this week. let's bring in chad liebeck, politics editor and columnist with "the detroit news." trump is going to be in pottersville which is southwest of lansing. the government said it plans to help invest in a gm plant. $2.6 billion secreting 1700 jobs in the electric vehicle ind industry. trump said there is a place for electric vehicles but let's not shove them down people's throats. as part of the biden administration, harris was shoving them down people's throats. what do voters there in michigan

want? >> this is an interesting area to go to because lansing economy is very dependent upon two big general motors plants. one is about 6 miles away from where donald trump will be speaking. he's going to a metals processing plant company and pottersville and they are building a new battery plant. 15 miles away into lansing itself, there is an existing cadillac plant that is essentially winding down operations. they used to make the chevy camaro muscle car until they halted production of that back in january. the biden administration has pledged a $500 million grant to general motors to convert this plant to an ev factory. to build some type of new ev vehicle in the future and replace the cadillacs that are

made there now. those will be supplied by this new battery plant that is being built just 6 miles away from where trump will be today. >> john: a lot of potential jobs in the lansing area. however it seems that american auto manufacturers are losing money in the ev industry overall because the market has gone really soft, people don't necessarily want to buy them, and it's far as the harris campaign, she says she does not support electric vehicle mandates that she was an early sponsor of the green new deal and she cosponsored the zero emissions vehicles act of 2019 which said in part remodel each year after vehicle manufacturer cell cell only zero emission vehicles. after model year 2040, the administrator may issue an injunction of any passenger vehicles other than zero emission vehicles by a vehicle manufacturer. her campaign is saying she doesn't support ev mandates yet that is by its very definition

and ev mandate. >> i think she is trying to split it a bit saying i'm not going to require you to purchase but if we were to get this legislation passed by 2040, you can only buy the ev so you would almost have no choice and that is in effect a mandate. the democrats are definitely dancing around this issue a little bit and donald trump is dancing around or having to dance around whether he is going to pull the plug on this whole operation if he is elected. he hasn't answered the question about whether or not he will pull the plug on this inflation reduction act grant that went to general motors for the conversion of the existing pl plant. >> john: i want to look at the poll numbers in michigan because it gives us an idea of where we are. there are snapshots in time. the rcp average for michigan now has kamala harris 2.2 points

ahead of donald trump. compare that to trump was about three points ahead of joe biden. if you want to put up the other graphic there it is. he had 44 and bynum had 44.9. it's actually 2.1. harris is in a better position but there is some thought that the bloom is coming off the roads and her post-dnc balance may be fading. how do you see it there in the state of michigan? >> we will see. obviously the first debate in early september could be a big event and a change trajectory of the race. in michigan we start voting here on september 26th. less than four weeks out from ballots going out. and this is what's interesting today. they are in eaton county which has become a bellwether of sorts in michigan. trump narrowly won eaton county in 2020 but lost the state overall. but he won in 2016.

obama won in 2012. obama won by 8.7 points back in 2008. it has become 110,000 people. it is a suburb of lansing and it has a little bit of mix of working-class and suburbs and it is a pretty important place. >> john: we will look at that as a bellwether for what happens overall and trump should probably stop saying that november 5th is the most important date in our country's history. it's like this fall is important with so many early voting states happening. good to talk to you. thank you so much and we will check back with you because it is a very important state as you pointed out. speech of the suspect involved in the killings of four university of idaho students is back in court today. the argument that attorneys are saying to get the trial moved.

the men accused of killing idaho's students is back in court period dan springer is there with more. why did they want a different venue now? >> it's really simple center they believe the jury pool or potential jury pool was so poisoned and traumatized by the quadruple murders of those four

university of idaho students and the flood of media coverage that their client simply can't get a trial. they brought in some experts to talk about the media coverage and the amount of it. some of it being misinformation and how it was played. this is a college town and dominated by the university of idaho. the defense team wants to move it 300 miles south to boise which has 12 times the population and they're making the case with experts that are saying with all of this coverage and the type of place this is, they will probably come back next week with a ruling on this trial which is scheduled to begin june 2025 done in boise. >> a quick break we'll be right back powers tractor supply stores nationwide
