We are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. Sandra the warning from the fbi director Christopher Wray as you look live at the southern border. Just as President Biden departs for battleground wisconsin. John polls showing biden and trump are running neck and neck in wisconsin and one of the top issues, the border crisis. 43 of wisconsin voters say it is extremely important to them. Sandra and welcome, everyone. Im sandra smith in new york on this wednesday afternoon. Glad you are here. John john roberts in washington. Good To Be With You for this middle of the week wednesday as opposed to wednesdays that fall on other parts of the week. This is america reports. National Border Patrol Council President brandon judd is blasting the Biden Administration for not getting a handle on the crisis, new details about the Terror Threat coming from the southern border. Chris wray knew this was happening six months into the administration. Saw a huge uptick six months in the administration. Maybe if i was out in front of that, we wouldnt have gotten to this specific point. Sandra lets get straight to gillian turner, live at the State Department on the story for us. What did we learn about the border threat after two days of this testimony . Gillian perhaps the most alarming Reality Check from the intelligence chiefs, known or suspected terrorists seeking to cross the u. S. Border from mexico has been increasing now for five years. Listen to the fbi director. Have individuals on the known terrorist list, suspected terrorist list, nofly list presented them at u. S. Airports once entering the United States, attempting to fly. I believe the answer to that is yes. Gillian the bigger threat picture when it comes to terrorism is even more alarming. The Terrorist Threat Level that we are contending with right now is at a whole other level from an already heightened Terrorist Threat Level that we were seeing even before october 7th. Youve seen a gallery of foreign Terrorist Organizations calling for Terrorist Attacks against us in a way that we havent seen in a long, long time. Gillian terrorism now hardly the only National Security threat emanating from the southern border. The threat from illicit drugs remains at historic levels with mexican organizations supplying and moving large amounts of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl into the United States. More than 100,000 americans have died from drugrelated overdoses during the past year and most deaths have been attributed to illicit fentanyl. Gillian we reported this, John And Sandra on monday, worth repeating, learned in Testimony Isis is trying to make inroads that the fbi director has seen, with Human Smuggling Networks that are just opposite the United States on the mexican side of the border so that is something they say they are tracking very closely right now. Also important to flag, we are going to hear from Secretary Blinken in a few moments, address the press from the State Department. Rare occurrence. Well be keeping a close eye on that. Sandra gillian, thank you. John. John it really is troubling what chris wray said and that Gillian Iterated there again, people with connections to isis are trying to get people into this country, and what does that mean, and that we have all of these hundreds of thousands of gotaways, who are gotaways for the very reason they did not want to turn themselves into the Border Patrol. How many of those people were just here simply trying to find a job and how many are here for nefarious intent. Sandra the threats from within, and wall street journal, Terror Threats in europe, linked to the gaza war, and iran, growing array of threats from extremists. The warning is here. John there are so many different aspects to all of this and makes you wonder if the Biden Administration really is focusing on the overall bigger problem here. President biden, by the way, hitting the Campaign Trail in wisconsin. Air force one taking off now from joint base andrews. The president will try to rally support where he and former President Trump are neck and neck in the latest fox power rankings. Mike tobin is live in milwaukee with more on this. Mike. The delegate votes locked in, the horses are on the track. And here at the boys and girls club, announce 36. 6 million grant to overhaul sixth street in front of the boys and girls club, part of a 3 billion Infrastructure Investment program nationwide. Hes in full Campaign Mode, met with the Executive Committee of the Teamsters Union as well as the rank and file committee, hoping to win the endorsement of the historic union, and 1. 3 million members. Teamsters president obrien said the endorsement will focus on issues important to the members. They are not going to worry about age. President biden, you know, he answered the questions, answered them thoroughly, he was well prepped and like anything else. People can focus on the negative, im not going to do that, im not going to attack anybody personally. With the Badger State A Battleground state, no one wants to make the mistake Hillary Clinton and take wisconsin for granted with the ten electoral votes. President trump won it by 22000 in 2016, less than 1 . Biden won it by 20,000, a smaller margin and the republicans will hold their convention here in july. John. John mike tobin, would love a bacon box from usingers if you have a chance. Sandra more on this, governor glenn youngkin. Your reaction as both candidates have clinched their partys nominations. First of all, John And Sandra, thank you for having me, great To Be With You and listen, the game is on, both candidates are clearly in Campaign Mode and listen, in virginia, virginia voters spoke loudly, and last week i endorsed President Trump. We need real leadership in this nation, and we cant any longer have an open border. We cant have a weak Foreign Policy and certainly cant have an economy that has unleashed inflation for the last few years that is stealing the hardearned money of virginians and americans. Time for a closed border and secure border to project strength around the world and Rip Roaring Economy. We cant have another four years of joe biden, we know that. John the issue of immigration, a big topic during super tuesday, virginia cited that as one of their top issues. Seemed to fall on deaf ears on a viral cable network, hosts seemed to make a to make a mockery. I live in virginia, immigration was the number one issue, it could change. Virginia does have a border with west virginia. [laughter] very contested area. John forget what some people have called the nearest elicit musings of an oxford woman there, im sure the parents and that 14yearold girl who was Sexual Assaulted by an illegal immigrant from venezuela are not laughing about this. I mean, it is a big issue there in the commonwealth. And for people to just laugh it off like those folks did, how does that strike you . John, its just stunning that not everybody recognizes that the open border has turned every state into a border state. It is a humanitarian crisis, its a drug crisis, its a National Security crisis and it impacts virginians every single day. On average, five are dying from fentanyl overdoses and yes, we of course are all heart broken over laken rileys death and when she was murdered by an illegal immigrant, and a Sexual Assault by an immigrant here in virginia. Its such an important issue going into 2024. The president could solve this with a stroke of a pen and he refuses to do it. We need to secure our border, provide safe and secure communities for virginians and americans, and this is not just an issue presenting itself at the national level. Ive got a General Assembly thats controlled with small majorities by democrat, they just sent me a bill to allow noncitizens to be police chiefs. They have sent me a bill to expand medicaid for illegal immigrants. This is what the Progressive Left is doing, secure the border and reestablish a safe america where we know we do not have terrorists coming over the border, we know who is in america and why they are here, and we shut off this drug trade trying to Poison America every day of the week. Sandra to be having this debate in the wake of these awful, awful things that have happened, murder there, obviously in georgia, and the 14yearold girl, Sexual Assault that took place in virginia, youve got one of our reporters, Hillary Vaughan tracked down some of the democrats on the hill to ask them about this debate over illegal undocumented, i dont know, wasnt it newcomers last week, listen here. Do you think it was appropriate for the president to use the term illegal in the State Of The Union . No, and he addressed that. I dont use that term. He was reflecting a term that many republicans use. Why is it wrong for someone to call someone that entered the country illegal an illegal immigrant. Its classifying a human being and no human being is illegal. Calling any Human Illegal feels like all the answers should start out with the condemnation of the awful crimes carried out by these undocumented or illegal immigrants. Governor. Yeah, well first of all, the issue at hand here is an open border where people are flowing over at numbers we cant even concede. We dont know where they are going. The State Department is flying folks, secret flights in the middle of the night in the United States and even governors dont know. The Republican Governors Association sent a letter to the president and said please tell us who you are setting loose in our states so we can keep our citizens safe and now of course we are starting to see real examples of violence and in fact, murder. We have got to go to work to keep our citizens safe. One of the big challenges is of course there is just two visions for america here, like two visions for virginia. One vision for america is one with an open border and weak Foreign Policy, and economy that continues to have inflation run away from it. And theres another vision for america which is to have secure borders and to be strong internationally, to have a Rip Roaring Economy that lifts up everybody and allows Hard Working Americans to keep more of their hard earned money. And of course, the answer from the other side is always raise taxes and spend more. Im dealing with the same thing in the commonwealth of virginia. The first two years of my administration we reduced taxes by 5 billion, 5 billion of tax relief. And all it took was the General Assembly, now controlled by democrats, 60 days to send me a broken backwards budget to increase taxes by 2. 6 billion in 60 days. The bottom line is, theres an understanding about what works for america and for virginia and of course what we are not seeing from the current president is any of those elements and thats what we are going to work for every single day, not just in virginia, but we need it in america, too. John all right, you have to wait until november of next year to try to change that. And you are back up for reelection then as well. So, its going to be a busy year. Governor, good to talk to you. Thank you. Taking a live look at the State Department where we are expecting Secretary Of State Antony Blinken to speak at any moment. A lot of crisis on his plate.

Sandra fox news alert, watching the dow on pace for a record close, up 100 points. Not a huge gain on the day but notable that it continues to reach for record highs. There is some optimism on wall street that perhaps an Interest Rate cut may be coming soon and that would be welcome news to investors who are watching this. John. John look at that, wow. Unbelievable. All right, huge news coming out of the u. K. , the countrys National Health service just declared a ban on Puberty Blockers for kids, citing a lack of research on their longterm effects. Our next guest knows all too well the dangers of gender changing treatments. She received the care at just 13 years old and has recently detransitioned but still lives with the irreversible side effects of the treatment. Chloe cole joins us. Good to hav. U. K. Was a leader in transgender treatments for young people. What do you make of the sudden 180 . Thank you for having me. This is huge because we are seeing as all these European Countries that pioneered this, they are reversing course and stopping the treatments in children. Of course right now the u. S. Is far behind but they are going to follow. Its important that we ban these procedures in children as soon as possible. Because the moment that you look at the evidence it becomes clear just how destructive these treatments are on youth. John so, and you you testified to that in a very public setting. You were before Congress Last year. We had you on just shortly after that, but rewind the clock back to your testimony last year where you explained very compelling terms the problems with the treatment that you received at the hands of a socalled Gender Specialist. The Gender Specialist i was taken to see told my parents i need to be put on puberty blocking drugs right away. He asked the question, would you rather have a dead daughter or living transgender son . The choice was enough for my parents to let their guard down, the specialist told the parents they could have a dead daughter or a live transgender son, i was not suicidal, i was a happy child who struggled, however, 16, after my surgery, i did become suicidal. John and you are still dealing with the post effects of that to this day. Yes, every single one of the treatments that i was on, i was on the publicer t i Puberty Blockers and underwent surgery. Im still experiencing ill effects from to this day. And the blockers ultimately were the gateway drug for the rest of my treatment. It was a very first intervention and theres this idea that these blockers are irreversible are reversible, and that they just allowed time to decide. But i was basically going through an early menopause at 13. It felt horrible to be on it. Felt my only path forward was to go through with trans john and the journey back has just been an xaerndly Challenging Oone extraordinarily challenging as well. There are plenty of people in the country saying full steam ahead. Andrea long chu wrote freedom of sex, the moral case for letting trans kids change their bodies. We must be prepared to defend the idea that in principle everyone should have access to sex changing medical care. For now, parents must learn to treat their kids as what they are, human beings, capable of freedom. L first of all, there is no freedom of sex. You cant change your sex. You can change your appearance, you can manipulate your hormones but if you are born female, you are female forever, born male, male forever. But what is your take on this idea that everybody has to have it. It goes against everything that we know about childhood psychology. Parents, the adults in a childs life are supposed to be their childs rock and reality. Because children dont understand just how what permanence means, first of all, and how treatments such as this will affect them in the long run, and i think ultimately its removing the freedom from a child around what they do with their body. Its not allowing them to fully develop into adults. Its restricting them from going through the only process by which they can become an adult, psychologically, physically, sexually. John we will see what, if any, effect this has on the remaining states that havent already initiated some sort of r restrictions on Puberty Blockers. Always great to catch up with you and share your story with viewers. Sandra Secretary Of State Antony Blinken, the embassy was forced to evacuate in haiti. News on that. John and louisiana senator john kennedy has a few pithy things to say coming up next. I use tiktok like all day, like all the time. I am addicted to tiktok. The conversation should shift more towards like data protection, data privacy, versus completely like getting rid of an entire platform. Accept the trade offs of treating . Or push through the pain and symptoms . With ubrelvy, theres another option. One dose quickly stops migraine in its tracks.

Sandra haitis Prime Minister is promising to step down as Armed Gang Members overwhelm the caribbean country. Ron desantis is bracing for an influx of haitian migrants and ordering the state forces to shore up the southern coast. Steve is following this live from fort pierce, florida. How bad have things gotten there . Sandra, things are so bad that acting Prime Minister who has promised to resign cant even get back home. The country hes inside of, he cant get inside haiti, hes stuck in puerto rico. Armed gangs have attacked the airport in portauprince and controlled 80 of the city, and released thousands of prisoners as well. Its not clear how Many Americans are stranded in the violence in haiti right now. Cory mills, a congressman from florida launched a Helicopter Mission to rescue ten u. S. Missionaries. He got minimal help from the Biden Administration. Sending a direct message that the federal government only cares about government, not about the american people. This is the wrong thing to say. I can tell you, i dont subscribe to that. U. S. Plans to spend 300 million on kenyan peacekeepers. The one hitch, they refuse to go to haiti until there is a government in place. Its not yet whether the people will receive an appointed Prime Minister. We want a pathway forward that haitians in the country must be in position to determine what that path is, but it cannot be one that is dictated by invasion, by International Interference at all. Florida Governor Ron Desantis has just mobilized the States National guard in preparation for a possible influx of haitians. Sandra, back to you. Sandra steve, thank you. Tiktok really has the choice to make. This is not a ban. This is tiktok deciding whether or not it remains with its current ownership structure, Byte Dance And ultimately controlled by the Chinese Communist party. John tiktok, the talk of the town in washington. The house forging ahead with a bill that would ban the popular app unless it parts ways with its chinese parent company. Now the issue is in the hands of the senate. What will happen there . Lets bring in Louisiana Republican senator john kennedy to find out. Senator, great to see you this afternoon. I thought it was interesting that for years republicans have been pushing for a ban on tiktok. 15 of them in the house voted against this. And the biggest cheerleader opposing a ban on tiktok is the former president. Listen to what he said. There are a lot of people on tiktok that love it. There are a lot of young kids on tiktok who will go crazy without it. Without tiktok you could make facebook bigger and i consider facebook to be an enemy of the people. John We Saw In The House that republicans overwhelmingly decided on the ban if not divested by byte dance, but in the senate, how much is donald trump driving the bus on the issue . The issue is not President Trump, and its not even tiktok. The issue is the Communist Party of china and as ive said before, i would not turn my back on the Communist Party of china if they were two days dead and you shouldnt either. Tiktok is owned 100 by a Chinese Company called Byte Dance And byte dance, the company, is controlled by the Communist Party of china and the fear, of course, is that the Communist Party of china, through byte dance, will use tiktok to access our data, conduct cyber espionage, to advance Communist Party of china views, to access the software on our telephones, to meddle in our elections and some of my colleagues in the house have concluded thats already going on and thats why they have decided to basically slap tiktok to pluto. Now the bill is before the senate. My decision, my vote will be determined by our intelligence communities. I dont know if Senator Schumer will bring the bill up. But if he does, im going to ask him to bring our 17 Intelligence Agencies before us in a classified setting and tell us if these allegations are true. Now, tiktok says well, we are storing all the americans data in texas, they call that the texas project. I dont care if they store the data in President Bidens basement. The issue is not where the data is stored, the issue is whether the Chinese Communist party still has access to the data. Sandra ok so senator, good to see you, its sandra. The tiktok response to the vote today, this bill was secret, and it was jammed through for a ban. Hope the senate will listen to the facts, and the constituent, and the 170 million americans who use the service. This is an economic story as well as you well know, senator. This is some of what we gathered, man on the street, people talking about this, and who it means to them economically in some cases. Listen. Im not really for the banning of tiktok. I think its fine if they were to ban it. I dont see that many benefits of tiktok. Probably better matters than to be looking at, like vote for banning tiktok or not. I think that tiktok is like a really great source for people to express themselves. Its my favorite app, so i hope its not banned. Sandra and we rolled sound earlier some kids said maybe the adults dont get it, maybe they dont get its a source of income for so many. What do you say to them when they do see this as a ban, and historically republicans, senator, have not been all about banning things, they have been for competition. Well, there are legitimate First Amendment issues here. Tiktok as a company, when it does business in the United States, has First Amendment rights. The people who choose to use tiktok and communicate with each other certainly have First Amendment rights. But once again here the real issue is whether those First Amendment rights outweigh the security for it, the National Security threat, if any, to the american people. And our intelligence communities have the answer to that. Now, tiktok and byte dance, communist Party Company that owns em, say theres nothing to see here, that we are segregating the data, but they have been they have never said or proven that the Communist Party of china doesnt have access to that data. And i have talked to senators who believe that tiktok and perhaps the Communist Party of china has already meddled in their elections. We got to get the facts and the only way to get the facts is to go to our intelligence communities and whether theyll share that information or not with us, i dont know, but they have the information. John all right. Senator, its always great to catch up with you and well see what happens with that vote in the senate. Just real quick, would you expect it would pass . Probably, yeah. But my votes gonna be determined by the facts. John and what is that vote . I dont know. Its up to schumer. He may never bring the bill up. John if it does go to the floor, you will vote what . I dont know yet. I have to have a briefing by the intelligence community. If these allegations are true, its a yes. But i want to i deal in facts, not rumors. John ok, great. Would you have voted against the trojan horse, yes or no. Im kidding. Thanks, senator. That was good, john. Very good. [laughter] sandra now this. You guys know its good luck if the first bill is a 5. Im telling you guys, we only check the coins like once every six months. Sandra all right, john. Im super pumped for this segment.

John going to jump to the State Department right now, the Secretary Of State, Antony Blinken, is giving an update on the middle east, talking about the temporary pier the president has ordered the u. S. Military to construct on the shores of gaza to try to get ship loads of aid in. Well monitor this and if he makes any news, we will bring that to you. In the meantime, lets go to this fascinating topic from sandra. Sandra all right, lets do it. A gen z entrepreneur is cracking the code to Passive Income with over 51 Vending Machines, 23yearold Jamie Vanness has learned to make money while he sleeps. He buys snacks and marks them up in his Vending Machines, more than 20,000 per month. You have everybodys attention. Thank you so much for joining us. All right, so you were featured in the wall street journal, a big picture and everything. Because they are writing about what many people are interested in today, and that is Passive Income. A way where you can invest in something and then it just makes money while you sleep. So, what did you do here . So, i started this business right out of high school and i think it was meant to be because i was that kid Walking Around School Selling Chips to my friends, so i feel like it was just meant to be, and i started six years ago, i bought my first Vending Machine and ive just been blessed that it worked out and ive been able to grow my business pretty quickly and like you said, i have about 51 machines now. Sandra you obviously had to save up, because these are pricey, its a big investment. So, you saved up your money and for example, how much was your first Vending Machine . My first Vending Machine was 4,000 and i had 5,000 saved up. So i almost i took a huge risk and almost spent every single dollar i had. Sandra thats still in operation today . Yes, i actually still have that machine to this day after six years and inside the same location. Sandra so you decide what goes in it, chips, soda, you are pretty traditional, 51 machines across the dallasfort worth metro area, put them in laundromats, office buildings, and things like chips and soda. You have to buy it and you decide the pricis. Yes. Right now we are running on 50 Profit Margin so doubling the products. Ceremony items i have better margin, oreos, i can triple that item. Fascinating. So your 51 machines average you about how much take home pay a month . In revenue, around 43,000 a month. Profit about half of that, so talking 20, 21,000 of profit every month. You must be feeling good about this. Has crime been an issue . I think they are not monitored, just sitting there, somebody can break into them, take the money, steal the goods. Is that an issue . Only once. I dont have too many issues because a lot are in secure locations. I had a tire shop, somebody came up to the machine at 3 00 in the morning and took the money with a crowbar and it was harsh. Sandra interesting story. So, you are battling inflation like all of us. Here you are talking about it. The Biggest Issue we have right now is having to raise prices everywhere because as you can see, the chocolate and candy is about 0. 90. We just raised all the chocolate to 1. 50 in the machines. Sandra how has inflation impacted your business . Its been a really hard, we have had to raise the prices three times over the last 12 months, and this is something that a lot of our customers have been getting pretty upset because you know, it is up to us to decide the prices, but we have to explain to them that the product cost is going up for us, and unfortunately we have to kind of raise the prices in all the machines but yeah, we have changed prices multiple times in the last 12 months. Sandra i know also you invest in tracking software. Is that to see what people are buying and where they are buying it so you can concentrate your goods . Yes, so i have an app on my phone, i can pull up one of the 51 Vending Machines, i can see how much money its made and i can see what product is in each coil, so i can see how many backs of chips are left, chocolates are left, so next time i go and service the machine i know what to take with me. Sandra amazing, you can see it remotely. You dont have to go and put your eyeballs on the prize. Whats your advice to young people . You offer a lot of it who say im scared to start a business. My biggest advice is to give it a try because a lot of people are scared and they say oh, what if it doesnt work out. The question is, what if it does. Sandra good stuff. Jaime, thank you for joining us. Incredible story. John, i love it. John i love that philosophy. Dont think about what if it doesnt work out, think about what if it does . This is a very similar story to one i read in the San Francisco area about an excop, while he was a cop as a side hustle bought atms and now he has a whole fleet of them and moves them around depending on what the business is. Hes raking in millions, millions. Sandra and i love he said hes got the tracking software, you used to have to send somebody and see whats left in the machine, what people are buying. The fact he can do it remotely and wifi to the phone and knows what he needs to stock up on, incredible. John whats he doing about shrinkflation . Sandra you are right. Next time. John speaking of the lack of shrinkflation, as china ramps up military spending, one company trying to make sure america stays ahead in defense technology.

I would guess that that plane behind you is the nose of a c130 . Ding, ding, ding, john. Youre right. That is the c130 behind me. This plane which has been given the name of hercules is turning 70 years old today. Quite a birthday for an iconic piece of equipment. As you mentioned with two wars overseas and growing concerns about national defense, were getting an inside look in marietta, georgia as one of the most tried and true pieces of defense aid equipment. The c130. Like i said, 7 years old. Over that time,2700 of these have been played. Half are still operational. Do us right and perform with ens lens are the true core values of our corporation. The way that it is built to provide to fly fast enough, to refuel fighter jets and slow enough to refuel helicopters. To land in 3,000 foot runways is what makes this aircraft so unique and so viable. The fact that we modernize will continue to ensure that it supports our global war fighter needs for many years to come. And when it comes to years this year, theyre expected to build 20 of these c130s. That i have the capability to build up to 36. Back to you, john. John thats not sexy like an f16 or f22 but works well. Thanks, madison. Its durable. John sandra . Sandra california could base Electric Bills on how much money you make. Im gonna hold you forever. Ill be there. You dont. You dont have to worry. Sandra energy bills for some california households go up even if they dont use more electricity. The state eyeing the new rate system based on income. William la jeunesse is live in l. A. Some people find this hard to believe. Yeah, theres a backlash going on right now for three reasons. Number 1, costs. Electric prices here already two to three times higher than the national average. Two, fairness. Why should you pay more for using privacy . Now everyone in california will have to turn over their tax return to pay their Electric Bill. Clean energy is less expensive. Its also now cheaper to generate electricity from wind to solar. Renewer energy is not cheaper. That debate is playing out in california where the average Electric Bill is 261 a month. The problem with renewables, theyre not on all the time. Californians pay twice the national average. Electricity rates have skyrocketed throughout the state. Leading the charge, gavin newsome. Mandating clean energy by 2025. To pay for the new plants, batteries and transmission lines, the state plans to bill customers not just for the power they use but based on their income. This doesnt make sense. This makes it cheaper to consume more electricity. Households earning more than 70,000 could pay an extra 73 a month on top of their Electric Bill. So sandra, democrats feel that those that make more should pay more. Sandra thats it for us. Im sandra smith. John im john roberts. Well see you tomorrow. What we like to call friday eve. The story with martha starts right now. Martha thanks very much, john and san
