>> hey, sandra, you just saw some contentious moments which i guess is expected. congressman nancy mace of south carolina just said that all of these sanctuary city mayors have blood on their hands. and that happened after a heated exchange between congressman jim jordan and denver's mayor mike johnston after an illegal migrant was accused of assaulting i.c.e. agents last week. take a look. this is the illegal migrant who is also a suspended tren de aragua gang member. eight denver county jail released him to the streets last friday, forcing i.c.e. agents to arrest him in public where he later is accused of assaulting officers. those are necessary because sanctuary laws limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. in boston i.c.e. agents arrested this illegal i migrant from guatemala last month. he was set free after being charged with the aggravated rape of a child. border czar tom homan criticized

boston's police commissioner, drawing this response from mayor michelle wu today. >> let's talk about tom homan. shame on him for lying about my city, for having the nerve to insult our police commissioner who is overseen the safest boston has been in anyone's lifetime. bring him here under oath and let's ask him some questions. >> sandra, john, right in mayor wu's backyard, i.c.e. agents arrested this illegal haitian migrant who was roaming the streets despite 17 criminal convictions. >> i'm not going back to haiti. you hear me? [bleep] trump, you feel me? joe biden forever, bro. everything he did for me, bro. >> and just this week, this illegal migrant and suspected tda gang member is on the loose in chicago, despite being a suspect in a shooting death last

september and a weapons arrest back in october. also, john, you may remember here in new york back in december, an illegal migrant from guatemala was arrested and charged with lighting a woman on fire and killing her in the new york city subway, and the immigration detainer in that case was not honored. we will send it back to you. >> john: i remember all of those incidents vividly. all right, nate foy for us in new york. meantime, down in texas, vice president vance now touring the southern border and a hot spot once exploited during the biden administration's border crisis. brooke taylor is live for us in eagle pass. how are things looking there now, brooke? >> hi, john. the vice president has landed, getting a tour in eagle pass and then heading to where we are at right now, really standing in the epicenter of where this border crisis really started. we saw thousands of migrants showing up in masses. a much different scene then what is going on behind me. quiet now. that is what the vice president

is going to see today. j.d. vance landed at the air force base just a little while ago, joined by secretary of defense pete hegseth and the director of national intelligence. back in 2023 at its peak, border patrol agents encountered 3000-4000 migrant today, just in the del rio sector. sources tell me they had just 14 encounters yesterday right here in the del rio sector. what we haven't seen those massive groups like that in a while, when you compare the numbers are just what we saw last year, apprehensions are down 94%. president trump credits this to measures he put in place. some of the major ones, ending biden's catch and release, deploying thousands more troops to the border here, and ending those mass parole programs. well, he believes what happens here at the border has a ripple effect across the country, as you just saw in nate foy's report right before this, the families of laken riley, a georgia nursing student who was murdered by an illegal migrant,

and 12-year-old josh and nunca ra, the police say was brutally assaulted and killed by two illegal migrants, also attended. and the trump administration has said that securing the border here isn't just about stopping illegal migrants but it is also about taking down the cartel that has had complete control of this border for years. they want to stop sentinel and drug trafficking, so we expect the vice president to also talk about that when he gets here behind us in just the next few hours, guys. >> john: looking forward to it. brooke, thank you very much. columbia university, barnard college, they are at it again in the milstein center, a number of protesters as you see the wind really blowing things around there, and are staging a sit in. three barnard students spelled for their role in the protest last year peered our alexis mcadams is live in windy new york city there.

outside of columbia university. what can you tell us about what is going on now, alexis? >> hey, john. the barnard professors are also inside of this building behind me answer these mass students, so i'm going to step out of the way. they went into the milstein center on barnard college. it is hard to see because we cannot get on their campus because of all of the security concerns for the past however many months, they kicked the media off and any nonstudents. i want to take a look at our second camera kind of shooting through the fence at the milstein center, you can see these mass protesters are standing in front of the milstein center chanting "free palestine," the same chants we have heard across campus is all over the country including at columbia, barnard, and why you, you name it. they are saying this school needs to complete divest from israel so they are calling this a sit in, specifically saying this is a free zone, a liberation zone. this is similar to some of the wording that they used last time when they were inside of the center over just across campus.

when they went into the other hall and created lots of damage. but the president of barnard, it is important to point out what has been going on here, she had just written an op-ed just the other day saying they were not going to deal with this anymore, that the pro-palestinian protesters had completely crossed the line, she said. they were not going to offer the students amnesty. and a couple other things. but that is kind of what continues to happen here. they don't check these students i.d. cards according to some students will been inside so they set up shop and say they're not going to leave, chant anti-semitic things and they walk out and leap before police are on their way so they do not know the students are. i have been doing this for months now here at columbia and now barnard, and i think the people here on the campus, even people who live around here just kind of look like this is happening again, who is in charge? people thought last time at hamilton hall, how many times are you going to tell them they can't do it until you are going to crack down on your own rules and enforce them. another live look, i'll step out of the way, this also comes,

john, sandra, they have been talking about this at the white house. president donald trump just said yesterday on truth social you need to get a hold of your campuses, your schools, your universities. if you don't do it, we are going to pull your funding. important to point out, not only do they pay like $100,000 a year to go to school at columbia and also affiliated with barnard, so it is very expensive for this ivy league education, but they also get a lot of funding from the federal government, talking billions in funding, so president has said they will pull it. so i think they're going to wait and see what happens here on campus but trump had also said no more masks. that is something we continue to see. can't see who these kids are, and it is also difficult to know do they even go to school here, right? >> john: all right, yeah, president trump threatening to pull about $51 million in funding unless columbia gets its act together when it comes to these protests. alexis mcadams for us, thank you. >> sandra: so much news, now

this, supreme court has ordered the trump administration to shell out nearly $2 billion in foreign aid payments. this after president trump submitted an emergency request to keep it frozen. let's bring in kerri urbahn, fox news legal editor and gerry baker, fox news contributor and editor-at-large. kerri, to you first on the news and the implications of this. >> i think there is a reason justice alito in his dissent from his colleagues said this was a "stunning" decision. he went so far as to say the judge who unilaterally issued this order initially forcing the trump administration to not review the funds going out the door, not allowing them to manage the executive branches spending, he called that an abuse of that judge's position and then chastised his colleagues on the supreme court for not blocking that judge from using his position. this is a significant setback for the trump administration, and really the executive branch in general and their ability to manage spending look for waste, fraud, and abuse as those payments go out the door. >> sandra: so that is the

legal perspective. the politicos perspective, gerry? >> exactly as kerri says, we don't know, we think about the decision, because it is in order, there is no majority opinion as you would normally get. there is the minority dissent that you get. we don't know kind of exactly what the thinking is behind this but the suspicion is and it does kind of fit in line with the 5-4 majority we have seen in the past, when amy coney barrett and chief justice roberts both seem to vote with the liberal justices. in a way that actually kind of essentially seems to take the line, much more about enforcing the separate separation of power, congress has the right of the purse, congress determines -- we don't know this because we don't of the reasoning behind it, but i think the significance, sandra, there are a lot of these cases, a lot of cases related to president trump's executive orders, related to some other things that d.o.g.e. has done,

where those cases have been challenged, those decisions have been challenged, and it does look as though the 5-4, three liberals plus barrett and roberts, do look as though they are, a couple of cases we have seen so far, consistently siding with the view that congress has the right here, congress' authority, and congress that should be decide, which will be a big blow for president trump -- >> sandra: kerri, can you weigh in on that? how much of a setback is this for team trump? >> it is significant. of course, as gerry mentioned, the devil will be in the details and how they work this out, but thing about the background here. in january, secretary rubio paused federal foreign aid for 90 days so they could review that aid, manage the spending as it goes out the door. yes, these funds were congressionally appropriated but we are talking about three months to make sure that money is going where it is supposed to be going and paying contractors for what they were actually supposed to do. so for a judge to come in and

say nope, one judge to say this, everything before february 13th has to be paid with no distinguishing or separation of maybe there could be problems or not, is quite something with respect to the separation of powers and that is my thing justice alito issued such a scathing dissent because he sees the writing on the wall for what this means about the trump administration's ability to just manage efficiently and effectively. >> sandra: we just had it up on the screen, the dissent from justice clarence thomas, brett kavanaugh, neil gorsuch, justice alito. unchecked power to compel the government of the nine states to pay out and probably lose forevr dollars? the answer to that question should be an emphatic no. a majority of the court of hanley things otherwise, i am stunned. >> circular argument can answer

the question is the question the supreme court gives and a supreme court majority says -- whether or not the argument in law, as alito put it, may be better, that is the decision. there are specific access to these cases, related to money, to work that has already been done. these are outstanding contracts that had to be paid. that might have had something. as kerri said, we do not know the details of the case, but i think the larger picture here -- and we have seen it repeatedly with a decision last month on one of these congressionally appointed where the majority of the court again with roberts and barrett siding with the liberals to support -- oppose with the administration is trying to do. the same ones, plus plus, actually, opposed donald trump's efforts to try to get the new york case dropped before he was inaugurated and president. you do seem to have battle lines drawn up pretty strongly that

those five justices with that 5-4 majority do seem to be signing repeatedly with, particularly with congress on some of these critical issues. it is setting up quite a big fight. >> sandra: fascinating perspective in real time. things to both of you, kerri, gerry, thank you. john? >> john: sandra, another busy day for elon musk on capitol hill. who he is meeting with as the d.o.g.e. agenda marches on. >> sandra: lawmakers under fire for how they responded to the address from the president last night so what does a lifelong democrat who attended last night's speech think about his party right now? we will ask him. hey, buddy, you leading lent on hallow this year? you bet brother. stay prayed up. yeah, you know it. hey, father. you joining lent again this year? of course. alright father. sister. you joining us again on the app this year, right? i am mark. i love it. hey, chris. yo. what's up? mark? you want to join us on hallow this year? join you on hallow? i was hoping. i was hoping you'd ask. yes. stay prayed up.

tonight. aishah hasnie is live for the hill for us with the latest. hello, aishah. what is on the agenda for the meetings today? >> hi, sandra. >> mike johnson has told us and this is going to be an update on d.o.g.e.'s activity, trying to get the d.o.g.e. folks to get is because congress wants to codify a lot of these cuts inputted into law, make sure it is permanent for future administrations, but it is also an opportunity for republicans to raise any concerns they have because they have been seeing some disruptions back in their home districts, so we have seen that in certain town halls over the last few weeks, republicans claiming that democrats are actually sending in paid actors to create the chaos there, so they are now telling members to stop holding those in-person town halls altogether. last week, president trump's chief of staff susie wiles was on the hill talking with senate republicans, some of whom had questions about d.o.g.e.'s massive layoffs. they are trying to calm fears

back home and so musk may get some other questions today from house republicans. >> he is going to talk about where the savings is coming from. i think we will also have an opportunity to share with mr. musk some of the concerns that we may have on, hey, here is some concerns we are seeing in our district and have you thought about this, that, or the other? it will be definitely a conversation. >> he is meeting with senate republicans right now during their steering lunch. didn't answer any questions for reporters he just yet but we will continue to track him while he is on capitol hill. >> sandra: we know you will. aishah hasnie on the hill, thank you, aishah. >> democrats didn't stand for an innocent and beautiful child who is surviving brain cancer. they opposed eliminating taxes on tips and social security. they didn't stand in favor of cutting taxes for hardworking americans.

they couldn't even clap for two mothers whose daughters were killed by illegal aliens. one of the only things that could get democrats off their feet last night was cheering for ukraine. not for america. >> john: democrats taken to task for their response to president trump's joint address last night, even by some of their own. a fox news opinion piece, doug schoen writes, quote, it is very hard for anyone who is a neutral observer to do anything other then recognize the forward-looking expansive nature of trump's vision. at the same time, it does not appear to me that the political party that i continue to belong to with increasing difficulty has any answers at all. we have got a guest who was at the address last night who tells us that until recently, he had been a lifelong democrat. joseph knowles joins us now. joseph, first of all, let me put this in a two-part question. what was it like being at the address last night? and why were you previously a democrat?

>> the address last night was beautiful. i got a chance to see very smart people, high-power people, president trump and other republicans, congress members. it was a good experience for me. i got to see it from a different side. what made me become a republican, i mean, and not a democrat anymore, was just how things have changed. they say the agenda was for the working people but that is not the case. and it's a lot of people like me that are out of the jobs, they are out of touch, and i could no longer support an organization or a potable party like that. >> sandra: what did you think of the antics you saw last night when they weren't standing or holding up signs, not applauding for a 13-year-old boy who is recovering from cancer?

>> yesterday, monday, i got to meet and talk to some of the people. we all come from different backgrounds. and i am there on the automotive side, but those people are there because they lost lives, even d.j., we had dinner together. he is a nice kid. you know, a cancer survivor. and what disappoint me is that the democrats set their and they are so against trump, when they put their personal issues on the forefront and ignore from the... they ignore some of the victims. you know, they all have stories. and that should have been more important. >> john: yeah --

>> they put their agenda first. >> john: when i saw the mother and the sister of jocelyn nungaray -- the mother of jocelyn nungaray and the mother and sister of laken riley barely holding back tears, you just felt such sympathy for what they have been going through, and for the other side to just sit on their hands and not even acknowledge it, just seemed to be so dehumanizing. >> you know what? that show you how out of touch they are. because this isn't republican, democrat, black or white, these are human lives. someone that lost someone. the riley's lost... border patrol, cartels. you couldn't stand up for that? these are the people that you said you protect and sworn for,

but you couldn't stand up for them. you put up signs and you highlight your interests, but these people that lost someone, so i am very disappointed in the democrats. i feel like i made a damn good choice not voting for them anymore, and i am very proud of how donald trump handled it, and i am sorry to hear about, you know, these victims that lost their family members, but put in place by democrat policies, so it is saddening to see this. >> sandra: joseph, when you look off into the future, would there is obviously big conversation happening on the democrat side about the future of their party, what do you see for the future of the republican party to which you belong to n now? >> i think a lot of people have seen it. i believe that a lot of people will come to the republican

side. i think democrats are just -- they are killing their own selves, and i have very good hope for the republican party. the true colors of the democrats. it took me, i'm sorry, 20 years to see that. and i woke up. i am very confident the american people will wake up, too. >> john: here is the way of the american people are putting a democrats in congress and how they are handling their jobs these days. quinnipiac poll found total number of total people, republicans, independents, and democrats, 60% of people disapprove of how the democrats are handling their job come and look at this, 49%, a plurality of democrats, disapprove of the way that they are handling their job. very quickly, joseph, anyway they could ever bring you back in the folder you gone forever? >> i'm gone forever. i've seen enough.

what i saw, this has been coming for a long time. what it show, this is how they always handle situations like this. they put their agenda first, and that is all they care about. i got union brothers and blue-collar workers out of a job right now. they blame trump for everything, but he wasn't in office the last four years. i lost my job, and i was lucky to get my job back but i look at a lot of my union brothers right now out of a job, and instead of focusing on that, they are focused on trump, they want to bring up the 34 felonies, they want to bring all the things that really beyond has no effect on my life come has no effect on their lives, has no effect on the border patrol who was shot at, has no affect on illegal

immigrants coming in and shot and killed a husband and a father. their priorities is not in line with ours anymore. >> sandra: wow. >> and a lot of people are stirring to see that. >> sandra: joseph, thank you very much for coming on and telling your story. sharing her experience peered. >> john: thanks, joseph, good to meet you. >> thank you. >> sandra: our best to him. meanwhile a frightening study shines a light on the link between transgender surgeries and mental health. plus this. >> we do this regularly. we have done 1226 of these, as we notified -- >> i'm not asking -- mr. abraham gonzalez, who is a gang member from venezuela, stole a car, assaulted someone, 345 days you have him in custody, and i.c.e. said hey can you g give us 40 hours heads up? on one hour notice.

welcome. >> well, here is the simple thing. just do the common sense thing. you've got a gang member who has been arrested, charged with stealing a car, salting someone. he was in your custody for 345 days. you have a detainer with an administrative warrant sent to you by i.c.e. saying simply when you were going to release this guy, give us a heads-up, give us enough notice where we can come there and apprehend him while he is still in jail. and they said no. we are going to give you an hour notice, this is what they did, released him to the street and stamped on the document by their sheriff's office, released to the streets, and then i.c.e. has to arrest him in the parking lot or on the streets and an officer gets hurt in the process or gets assaulted in the process. makes no sense. by the way, the stamp and release into the streets, denver law-enforcement, on that form it also says this guy was violent towards staff. so they knew this guy had the

arrest record, but they also had seen it firsthand he was violent to the staff at the jail. for goodness sake, just let i.c.e. come in and arrest but they are so committed to the ridiculous left-wing sanctuary city policy, they released him in the street and we had what happened with the officer getting assaulted. >> john: they seemed to have trouble during the hearing justifying the reasons why they do what they do, and they seem to do it quite often. listen to this exchange between nancy mace and the four mayors. >> do you believe it is acceptable for illegals to commit heinous crimes being released back into the public instead of being detained and deported? mayor adams, yes or no? >> anyone -- >> yes or no, not hard. >> anyone who breaks a crime should be detained. >> okay, mayor, yes or no? >> they should be deported. >> yes or no. okay, mayor wu? this is why you have 6% approval

don't need an border, women in sports, i.c.e., got to arrest him there. all of these policies. just to common sense -- like resident from says, where the common sense party. let's get some common sense mayors so we can keep people safer. >> sandra: this was an emotional moment and testimony earlier with clay higgins, the rep from louisiana. >> the policies of these mayors and our previous president have consequences. real-life consequences. i have a family here today, mr. chairman, who lost their beautiful loved one. this young man was killed by an illegal immigrant in texas that never should have been in our country. you mayors, you have responsibility. not just to your communities and citizens, but by extension to the entire republic.

>> sandra: but still they seem to be pressing on with their ideologies and policies and turning a blind eye to stories like that. >> yeah, the american people see through it all. the american people understand, look, i had the opportunity to talk to laken riley's family, we all know what happened there, we had missed nungaray come testify last congress, the stuff is real and has real-life consequences for families in our great country. it is wrong to have this lax attitude we have seen from mayors with sanctuary city policy and the president is right when he talks about federal grant dollars, federal funding -- going to continue to do this kind of thing, release someone to the street to you know is bad, who actually was violent against your staff, had that arrest record, kept him in jail for almost a year and then just release them onto the streets? you probably shouldn't be getting any federal tax money, for goodness sake. that is what the president said. i think that is just good common sense. >> john: we will see the way it goes in the future, but it doesn't look like anything is

mental illness. dr. mahsa tehrani will join us on that in just a moment but first to alexandria hoff with the latest on this new study. alex, what kind of impact is the study having? >> you know, sandra, not a big impact because in the mainstream not a lot of reaction which is interesting giving the size and length of this study. researchers primarily out of the university of texas examined over ten years the mental health risks after gender-affirming surgery. the retrospective study published in the oxford journal of medicine focused on patients with gender dysphoria, unease with biological sex, findings demonstrated undergoing surgery at significant a higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders than those without surgery. for example, 25.4% of males in this study would experience -- have a surgery experience depression compared to 11.5% who did not have the surgery. similar results were seen in females. the medical director at do no harm weighed in. >> another level of concern in terms of really being aware that

gender-affirming surgeries are not risk-free in terms of the mental health consequences. >> but trans advocates have argued this study was flawed, saying those who experienced the most gender dysphoria would be the ones most aggressively seeking out surgery. gender-affirming surgeries have nearly tripled since 2016. there is little data on this, though, post-2020. yesterday d.o.g.e. announced the cancellation of cross-sacks or moan hormone. the national institute of health responded to that saying they are committed to advancing biomedical research in this round while promoting radical transparency. back to you. >> sandra: alexandria hoff live on that from washington. john? >> john: sandra, for more on this let's bring in dr. mahsa tehrani, board certified rheumatologist peered we have been told time and time again by advocacy groups that there was a great risk to people suffering from gender dysphoria if they do not go through these treatments but the study would

seem to suggest that no, no, no, getting these treatments actually puts them at greater risk. >> yes, john, so this study looked at 107,580 patients, males, females, over a 10-year time span, and these patients had a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and what they saw is in men and women who underwent this surgery, across the scale, they had much higher levels of depression, of anxiety, in the patients who underwent the surgery, and if you look at the categories, the men had twice the risk of developing depression symptoms and quadruple the risk of developing anxiety compared to their nonsurgical counterparts. >> john: we should mention this study was done to people over the age of 18. and here were the overall conclusions. gender-affirming surgery, while beneficial in affirming gender identity, is associated with increased risk of mental health issues, underscoring the need for ongoing gender sensitive mental health support for

transgender individuals post-surgery, which a lot of people might say these folks are not getting. but a big push here in the united states is to do this among adolescents. people under the age of 18. we saw in europe they were the leading edge of this. pushing forward with this and all of a sudden they looked at it and said woke, this is having the exact opposite effect and pulling back on it. >> these european countries pioneering treatments but took a step back because they are following the science and the science is showing us that there is not enough good evidence to show that long-term mental health improvements are going to be realized by getting these surgeries. now they are focusing more on psychological support for these patients who have gender dysphoria. so ultimately i extrapolate the findings of this oxford study -- i know they are in adults -- but i apply them to our youth, to our adolescents. these rates of higher anxiety, higher depression, with these surgeries, kind of goes against why they were done to begin

with. they were done to help mitigate these psychiatric risks. so i think we need to focus on kind of mirror what europe is doing and focus on creating comprehensive mental health programs. long-term, these are irreversible procedures. they have lots of consequences. and it is unethical to expose minors to these life altering procedures. >> john: we had a woman who went was on a couple of times, t through double mastectomy and hormones because she wanted to transition to male and now she is in her early 20s trying to go back and you can't go back because there are pieces of you that are gone. another big study, and this is very important for people in your age group, not so much mind because we have been dealing with this already, a dramatic increase in the amount of colorectal cancer among people under 40, represents right now 10% of all cancers, colorectal, represented in this age group, expected to double by the year

2030 and expected to be the most common fatal cancer among people aged 20-49. what's going on? >> it's a wild statistic. before, younger people, we didn't even think about cancer. i think the environment has a huge role. a lot of studies trying to find out what happened, the same kind of cancer, the mechanism, the environment of blame, rates of obesity can alter processed foods, the alcohol and red meat consumption, and more recently we are looking at chronic antibiotic exposures. we are looking at autoimmune diseases, otherwise inflammatory inflammatory bowel disease, crohn's, altered got microbiome and we think they are probably contributing to this new findings. >> john: some thing you deal with every day, day in and day out. appreciate it. sandra? >> sandra: all right, live at the border, eagle pass, texas, where we are looking at a roundtable assembling at the moment. governor abbott is in the room, secretary pete hegseth just took

a seat, as well. tulsi gabbard has arrived. tony gonzalez, congressman from texas' 23rd district, and we are awaiting j.d. vance, who is set to make remarks shortly. we are watching this roundtable and it looks like the vice president has just walked into the room now. shaking hands with governor greg abbott out of texas. he will make his way around the room. we will take a quick break and be right back with this.

-we're done. -what about these? looks right. nooo... nooo... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty absorbs spills like a sponge. and is 2x more absorbent so you can use less. bounty, the quicker picker upper.

>> sandra: it has been about two months since wildfires tore through thousands of los angeles homes but dozens of listings for those plots are already back on the market and they are not cheap. fox business correspondent max gorden covering this live from pacific palisades for us. max, how much are those lots going for? >> hey there, sandra. some of these lots are going for millions of dollars. plot we are standing on right now was one of the first cleared by the army corps of engineers. the folks who were living here had already planned on selling their home before the fire. that was about a 3200 square-foot house. they were planning on selling it in the mid-to-high for million dollar range. now the 6,000 square-foot plot of land is selling for $2.4 million. the mother-daughter real estate team we talked to, they say it

is getting a lot of interest and even got an offer of the day after it went on the market. >> what we are mostly seeing right now are locals, may be investment companies that want to help rebuild this town, that are committed to making the palisades back when it was, and that's exciting to really get that. >> this is an opportunity that will never ever see again. >> right now the pacific palisades, there are more than three dozen listings for fire-damaged lots but more set to hit listing soon. some people are placing bids without even seeing the lots in person and they're willing to pay a premium. according to recent data, sales prices for anti-lots nationwide sit at around $21 per square foot in 2022, and also dena so far five fire-damaged lots solde palisades three burned out lots have sold averaging a whopg

$307 per square foot. right now the army corps of engineers estimates it will take about a year to clear out the lots in pacific palisades but some folks are hiring private contractors to make that process go even quicker. sandra? >> sandra: max gorden on that for us, thank you. we will keep watching that story.till we will be right back. rough, or tired? with miebo, eyes can feel ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ miebo is the only prescription dry eye drop that forms a protective layer for the number one cause of dry eye: too much tear evaporation. for relief that's ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ remove contact lenses before using miebo. wait at least 30 minutes before putting them back in. eye redness and blurred vision may occur. ♪ miebo ♪ ♪ ohh yeah ♪ ask your eye doctor about prescription miebo.

>> whether on the ice or through tariffs, tensions are high with our neighbor to the north canada and now ron desantis is joining in by dunking on canada's three decades long stanley cup drought. >> 3.3 million visitors from canada, not much of a boycott in my book. maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a stanley cup winning hockey team actually looks like. [laughter] >> the florida panthers are of course the reigning champions and no team from canada has won

since the montreal canadiens way back in 1993. we should say and remind that in the four nations competition canada did beat the u.s. 3-2 in overtime in the final. >> had to get that in there, didn't you? >> another interesting to statistic about that too, the second most-watched game in hockey. the highest ratings were from game seven of the 2024 stanley cup when the panthers won. >> i am still stuck on that lob shot of florida. take me to florida. sunny florida right now. there we go. >> take me to partly cloudy florida.
