Transcripts For FOXNEWS America Reports 20240828

Sandra request denied. Illegal Border Crossings have exploded under the Bidenharris Administration but cbp is still refusing to reveal the nationalities of the suspects on the Terror Watch List. The big question is why . Hello and welcome, everyone, im sandra smith in new york. John . John you think it would be natural to say this person from such and such a place. Im john roberts in washington. This is america reports. Cbp is blocking fox news request seeking the nationalities of people in the guy Terror Watch List to were arrested at the southern border. Sandra arguing it could expose Law Enforcement techniques and tip off the terrorists. John lets get right to what Jonathan Hunt is live in los angeles p or jonathan, with the latest on this . Hi john. Customs and Border Protection says this is simply about National Security and to reveal details of those on the Terror Watch List crossing the border would endanger that security. Fox asked just for the nationalities to see where the potential terrorist coming into the u. S. Are coming from. According to Border Patrol figures, 422 potential terrorists have been encountered at our border so far this year. The majority of those, 283, interestingly, at our northern border. That total is about twice the number encountered in 2020. But in denying our request for information on those apprehended, cbp wrote, such a release would enable potential violators to Design Strategies to circumvent the Border Security techniques developed and employed by cbp in its mission to secure the border and enforce Immigration Laws by allowing potential violators to better prepare themselves to invade and exploit u. S. Immigration and other laws. And in what would appear to be an admission that there are indeed witnesses on the border, cbp also said, the disclosure of the nationalities of known suspected terrorists that were apprehended by cbp as opposed to not apprehended could signal any vulnerabilities in cbps Law Enforcement efforts of the u. S. Borders or shortcomings within the u. S. Governments National Security mission. So the bottom line from the cbp, john, is if the information is released, bad actors could as they put It Reverse Engineer Countermeasures to avoid detection, thoughts in cbps view making it easier for potential terrorists to enter the country. John . John welcome im not sure about that explanation but that is what they are telling us pure we will keep trying. Jonathan hunt for us, thank you. Sandra . Sandra Tens Of Thousands of migrants have arrived in denver over just the past two years, overwhelming shelters in the citys public hospitals. In the People Living in aurora aurora,colorado, did not want it spreading to their backyards. The city passing a resolution saying it will not be aiding in the migrant crisis. Didnt want anything to do with it. That resolution not enough, it has become the Suburbs Problem anyway pure. Sanctuary city protects criminals and not u. S. Citizens and the real issue is there is a huge increase in violence in these areas in aurora where these newly arrived foreignborn migrants, many of whom are venezuelan, have started to grow. The bidenharris of administration is complicit in having allowed our borders to be in chaos. They have allowed this criminal element. Sandra now police in aurora creating a task force to address the concerns of round a violent venezuelan gang, Tren De Aragua, right there in aurora. A city councilmember, thank you. We have been hearing this for quite some time. Residents have shared it coming up at city council meetings. Aurora said we dont want anything to do with this migrant crisis. They are trying to help because we just dont have the space. Hospitals were overwhelmed. What is it that you are seeing right now as far as this venezuelan gang taking over now the Migrant Centers there . Its unreal. Its unreal. Residents tell me they feel like they are living in a third world country at this point. They are going block by block. They are going Apartment Complex by Apartment Complex. They are taking it over. I think the city doesnt really know how to handle it, so the city is burying Certain Properties that have been taken over by this Tren De Aragua g gang, burying them with Code Violations and playing at off as if it is simply cold violations. This gang is putting up gangrelated graffiti on the blocks they have taken overcome and quite friendly i have heard too many stories from too many Property Owners, business owners, and residents to think this is anything other than a complete Gang Takeover In Part of our city. Sandra what are you hearing from them, the business owners, for example . What have they been experiencing . Breakins. Violence. Kicking doors in. I had one Property Owner tell me that a tenant literally vanished from their property, to this day, they dont know what happened to that tenant. His phone was shut off. They had not collected rent. They went, knocked on the door to get into the unit. The Aurora Police department had to come let them in that unit, and the whole place was filled with guns, money, and giant barrels of gasoline. I am being told they were running a black market for gasoline. And again, like i said, to this day they have no idea what happened to that man, their tenant. Sandra just reading, what we know about Cookie Monster, im sure youve heard about this local gang leader by now, this is according to the reporting in the new york post, this person has set up operations with the other gang members in aurora. This person allegedly took part in a brutal assault at an Apartment Complex there in aurora. In march 2024 was arrested and charged with several felony Assault Charges but was bailed out of custody and failed to show up in court. July 2024, just a couple months ago come arrested for allegedly carrying out a shooting at the same apartment with a previous assault occurred. One of your biggest points is and we have heard this from others, denver initially downplayed the concerns about this gang takeover. Where is the city now on this and what are they doing about it . We have heard the venezuelan gang greenlighted their members to attack police when conf confronted. Thats right. And denver remains silent on the issue. Our governor remains silent on this issue. But the city of aurora, we are taking a very different approach. We are trying to expose everything that we can. The Aurora Police Department Just formed a gang tax force. I have heard of this Cookie Monster in that he i have visited many of these properties. One time i stepped out of my vehicle and a whistle, they are communicative by whistle, an alert with all happened and i very quickly had to get out. People post upanddown different blocks, watching and communicating. This is no less than a complete gang takeover. I have heard of this Cookie Monster. I have heard he was arrested. The fact he is back out on the streets as an epic failure to the people of aurora and the entire state of colorado. Sandra i want to finish up with this warning from the fbi director christopher wray. On april of this year, when he was warning about the rise of this venezuelan gang, listen. We have ongoing engagement with Intelligence Community partners, state and local Law Enforcement, in some cases foreign partners, in looking at whether it is drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping for ra ransom, you know, different kinds of violent crime, different kinds of trafficking and smuggling. Even things like organized retail theft. Sandra to your point, right, we know that laken riley murder suspect had ties to a venezuelan gang. Assuming this one. That was a serious threat. And for so long people think, well, this isnt coming to their backyard, denver and the surrounding areas are dealing with it. Final thought from you . The final thought is that out of aurora, colorado, we are going to continue to stand up and expose this peer im working with many of these residents, personally pitching and helping to get them moved out at a hugeg very, very soon out of aurora from these residents themselves and that we will not allow the state to continue to downplay this, not allow the federal government to continue to downplay this. Sandra just a super tough time there and people are watching this and to your point the more you raise awareness of it, people are speaking up. Thank you very much for joining us, danielle. Thank you p. Sandra john, just a serious problem, and not just happening overnight. This has been coming for quite some time and only getting worse. John trai Tren De Aragua has been a problem. Mayor eric adams as it should reconsider its status as century city p. Asylum seekers in our country, those who commit violent acts after they serve their time should be removed from our country. Right now we dont have the authorization to coordinate with i. C. E. , we have to follow the law peer i think the city council should revise what was changed under the previous administration. John did you ever think you would hear that coming from a new york city official on the democratic side . Sandra exactly. Something has got to give. Something has got to change because it cannot continue like this. John not when you consider these violent gang members coming from venezuela. They were criminals they are and are criminals here and im not going to change butte. Sandra scary stuff, john. John we are moments away from todays Pentagon Press briefing and monitoring for any Breaking News as tensions continue to rise thereof the middle east appeared. Sandra plus critics accusing Vice President harris of avoiding the media. Why hasnt she sat down for a Press Conference replacing President Biden on since she replaced him on the ticket . Our panel is here and will join us live after the break. It is very disrespectful to the American People who you are asking to vote for you not to explain where you are, how you are going to fight for them, what your decisionmaking process is going to be. Frustrated by skin tags . Dr. Scholls has the breakthrough youve been waiting for. Now theres an easiertouse at home skin tag remover, clinically proven to remove skin tags safely in as little as one treatment. Han is 22 years old. Hes not just a pet, he really is a part of our family. Knowing that hes getting good nutrition, thats a huge relief for me and my dad. sings old bean piglet head yes that is your name. If you saw his piglet head you would say the same. Toot toot. The moment i met him i knew he was my soulmate. Soulmates. Soulmate [giggles] why do you need me . [laughs sarcastically] but then we switched to tmobile 5g home internet. And now his attention is spent elsewhere. But im thinking of her the whole time. Thats so much worse. Why is that thing in bed with you . This is where it gets the best signal from the cell tower ive tried everywhere else in the house theres always a new excuse. Well if we got xfinity you wouldnt have to mess around with the connection. Therapys tough, huh . Mmm. Its like a lot about me. [laughs] a home router should never be a home wrecker. Oo this is a good book title. I believe this is only an inside conversation, obviously those in the media want to see her do the interview and insiders are talking about her sitting down to do an interview but i can tell you in the hundreds of people that i have talked to about this campaign, not one person has mentioned having a care about whether or not she sits down to do an interview. Sandra that was former Atlanta Mayor keisha lance bottoms, now in advance advisor to the Harris Campaign. It has been, for those keeping track, 37 days since Vice President Kamala Harris took over at the top of the ticket. We are still waiting for her to give a sitdown interview. Republicans say they campaign is all vibes but no actual substance. Jacqui heinrich is live at the white house as the week continues. Hi, jacqui. It is unclear who will decide which anchor harris sits down and there are different wings of her operation weighing income from her family to her official office staff to joe bidens Campaign People to Obama Campaign alums, but the question of when all of this happens is also getting murkier. Listen to the shift in messaging from Harris Campaign staffers, a change that happened between sunday and monday. There are two bugs. The Vice President has said she is going to sit down for an interview before the end of this month that is going to happen. As the Vice President said and i think you all know she said she is going to schedule an interview by the end of the month. I think everybody can look at a calendar. She will schedule it by the end of the month. It looks like the debate with trump will happen after trump of its openness yesterday about a new team harris demand keeping the mics on. The Harris Campaign framed it like this the Vice President is ready to use deal with trumps interruptions and lies, stop hiding behind the mute button. The same Campaign Leadership team that broke the rules differently when biden was the. In the day they demanded muting mics, for american voters, so the time is evenly divided and we have exchange of views, not a spectacle of mutual interruption. But now we are also hearing claims from trumps side that the harris team wants even more changes. They want Kamala Harris to have notes during the debate. If Kamala Harris cant debate President Trump without notes, if she cannot defend her record without reading off her messaging talking points that are given to her by her campaign advisors, she certainly cant be trusted to lead this country, to lead the free world. The Harris Campaign has not publicly said they are asking for notes. We put this question to them and we are still waiting to hear back. We will let you know, sandra butte. Sandra Jacqui Heinrich live at the white house, thank you peer john . John fox news senior political analyst Juan Williams and matt gorman. Juan, to you first. Kamala harris like the paraglider, floating above it all, Big Policy Promises but no sense of detail or scrutiny. How long can that last . Its a beautiful summer day and i love that image, john. Soaring over the pines right now, this is pretty cool. Right now, for her, you look at the real clear politics average come up 1. 5 points, fivethirtyeight, she is up 3. 5 points. And you say to yourself, well, wow, one polls since the conventions, morning consult, she is up four points. She is not hurting right now. I think the problem is the media and the republicans think you know what . We want an interview. Republicans want an interview because if she has any slip, they will push that out there as a way to denigrate her. From that perspective i understand it and as a reporter i want to talk to politicians. They want to be held accountable. But from a political strategist point of view, we will do it when we are ready and she said they will schedule it before the end of this week. John schedule it before the end of the week, does that mean it will happen before the end of the week or just scheduling it but it is going to happen exactly, its not going to happen before the end of the week. If it does, they might bear it on a friday before labor day weekend. From the operative point of v view, political operatives, media pap and Interview Prep is a great way to prep for debates because that debate is coming on september 10th. It enables you to get your answers sharper, here what arguments will come against you, questions, so really not doing interview hurts you in debate prep, as well. John but heres the rub. If you are not out here espousing their own policies and giving details particularly on your website, she doesnt even have policy pages on her website, the media is going to start digging and come up with their own interpretations of your policy, like axios did. The headline, harris flipflops on building the border wall come if she is elected, Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in a wall along the southern border, a project she wants opposed and called unamerican during the trump administration. 2020 facebook post, she said as i said, trumps border wall is a complete waste of money and wont make us any safer. So its another flipflop, but she doesnt excite herself. If the candidate doesnt explain herself, the media is going to do it for her. And thats where you get in trouble. I think that is where you say this opens her up to widespread criticism, and of course, again, this is what the Trump Campaign wants. But then you look at the axial story that says oh, what they are talking about is she agreed she would sign the bipartisan immigration bill, the one trump block because its wasnt politically advantageous for the republicans in his campaign. Why does it say, john . Not any new money, not anything new, in fact what it says, unspent money, we will apply it and trump wanted i think 18 billion. This is not even 2 of that, like 300 million to 650 million. No Mass Deportation and family separation. Its quite different. The impression for the audience today even from the axials piece she is a flipflopper. That is the goal for her political rivals, not in her interest, every time come every fly or macedo comes by. John articulate explanation of the policy. Unspent funds is different. Metal being ready to be used to complete the wall rotting down on the southern border. That is number one. Lets remember she was not sitting on a couch the last four years. The reason we need to fix problems on the border is because of joe biden at Kamala Harris. That is the point that might be getting lost in this, as well. John some folks in the media, want to go over this quickly, seem to be happy with whatever crumbs the Harris Campaign shall. Dry sharp contrast with Kamala Harris, decriminalizing illegal immigration or taxpayerfunded Health Insurance to illegal aliens or taking away Health Insurance on the job for hundred 70 million americans. Thats not her position how do you know that is not she said she has not said that. May be anonymous aides on a Friday Night Have said that. John quick answers but he is right, she hasnt said that. Hear people talking on the phone but it hasnt escaped her lips. It will. John when . How do i know . Im telling you, she is saying she is going to schedule it, maybe that is what should we should hold her to. Schedule it and make it happen. The rest of it is pure politics intended by her opponents to get her to slip up so they can hammer her. John does she remember 2019 when an examination of policies and record torpedoed her campaign . Absolutely commending private insurance, fracking, decriminalize illegal immigration. John so much to talk between now and the september 10 spirit. Cant keep soaring. John picture on vacation. Sandra . Sandra heading Back To School how their phones, well take you inside one district that is making a big change. John Lloyd Austin Ordering Staying in the mideast.

Sandra california is pushing to expand a taxpayerfunded program for firsttime home buyers but get this, democratled state is looking to give interestrate free loans to Illegal Immigrants. Senior National Correspondent William La Jeunesse is live in l. A. On this for us appeared william, how much money exactly are we talking about here . Well, the program, sandra, makes Illegal Immigrants eligible for 150,000 to buy a new home. Initially when lawmakers created this program it was for u. S. Citizens and legal residents so they could afford to live here. However, last week, democrats changed the law to say this an applicant who meets the requirements for a loan shall not be disqualified by the agency based solely on their immigration status. Social and economic benefits of homeownership should be accessible to everyone, regardless of immigration status. So the Program Provides firsttime buyers with zero Interest Loans up to 20 of a homes purchase price. Or 150,000 cash up front for their down payment and closing costs. This year, the 255 Million Program sold out in 11 hours, so they had to have a lottery come out of 18,000 applicants, 2,000 got the loan. Now the state is repaid when the home is sold plus a small percentage of any appreciation. The bill is sponsored by prominent latino group with close ties to Vice President harris. The rest of America Needs to be worried about the Kamala Harris Walz Administration taking these Crazy California Ideas and nationalizing them and taking them to the rest of the country. The country cant afford to buy Illegal Immigrants homes. So the state or supporters say if you have a tax i. D. Number you should be eligible regardless of if you are illegal or not. Critics say it is for u. S. Citizens, u. S. Program, if you paid into it and you live here, it is for you so you can live in california. The bill expected to pass the legislature probably this week. We dont know if Governor Newsom will sign it. Sandra all right, William La Jeunesse on that, thank you. John . John sandra, the pentagon has ordered to a u. S. Aircraft carriers to stay in the middle east, concerned iran may still strike israel. John kirby gave an interview and said the u. S. Will defend israel in the event of such an attack. Covers my Michael Waltz is standing by to react but we begin with Jennifer Griffin at e pentagon with the latest, what e looking like . Defense secretary lloyd austin has ordered to u. S. Aircraft Carrier Strike groups to remain in the gulf of oman even though the sailors on board the uss Teddy Roosevelt have been at sea in the middle east for seven months. Both are within striking distance of iran and tehran knows it. A notsosubtle effort at deterrence by the u. S. Military. That comes at a cost. For the first time in three years the u. S. Does not have a u. S. Aircraft Carrier Strike group in the indopacific. The uss George Washington just pulled into port in san diego late last week and is likely not to be underway until late next month. It then takes the Carrier Strike group about two weeks to reach the indopacific. This comes at a dangerous time is the u. S. Tries to deter china from any military ambitions targeting taiwan or the islands in the south china sea. The last time the u. S. Had a carrier gap in the indopacific was in august 2021, during the afghan withdrawal. National security advisor Jake Sullivan is in beijing today to try to manage the tensions with china.

Without having any naval vessels in the red sea. John . John jen griffin, thank you. Sandra . Sandra congressman mike waltz, House Foreign Affairs committee, welcome to you, sir appeared what are your concerns as this escalates . Well, sandra, because of bad policy decision after bad policy decision from both biden and harris, once again we are finding our military bogged down and tied down in the middle east, and with middle eastern conflicts. What President Trump new, what he still knows, is that actually, iran is the heart of this issue. And going back to a maximum pressure, putting pressure on their energy sales, which right now are going to china, so china is a double winner here, is the core of the issue. Just a few years ago, hezbollah, hamas, the houthis, were all complaining, sandra, they were out of cash. Irans current seat and their economy was on its back foot and what President Trump did, what House Republicans have done, is he told china if you dont stop buying illegal iranian oil, you cant buy from us. And it worked. The house has passed sanctions on chinese buyers of iranian oil, and it worked. But what do we have right now . We have a military that is being worn out. And just one final point. That Aircraft Carrier that has been extended come already been there seven months, for every month extended, he needs 23 months back in repairs and back in port. That means that carrier wont be ready if we need it for even longer, and the other carrier that is now being extended because of this bad policy and refusal to shift policy on iran that has shifted from the pacific, that is leaving once again china the big winner. Final point, every missile, 2 million, 3 million missile that we shoot down 50,000 iranianmade chinesefinance drones leaves us even with less to use should we have a conflict with china. So this is truly hurting us in the long run here. Sandra timing is everything. About to see a change of leadership in this country. That will be decided in november. As we lead up to that, we just had a debate over whether or not we should hear more from Kamala Harris and where she is on policies, including foreign policy. But chris coons came to her defense this morning and actually said she said what was needed in her dnc speech on foreign policy. Listen. The best part of Vice President harris Acceptance Speech if the convention was how she described the challenge and opportunity in the middle east. I thought she stuck the landing, as you would say come in a postolympics world, as she talked about our place in the world, her commitment to our having the most lethal and effective fighting force in our armed forces. Sandra she stuck the landing in that speech, according to. Your reaction . You know, it is laughable if it werent so serious. There is a Throwaway Line from harris about always supporting israel. This is after she met with the uncommitted movement in michigan, which they are incredibly worried about, her campaign is incredibly worried about, and essentially promised to have further discussions about an arms embargo on israel. But look, the bottom line, sandra, is whenever bidenharris and the people around them talk about deescalation in the middle east, they mean more pressure on israel. Our folks are over there in israel right now telling them dont hit hezbollah, dont take out the leadership of hamas, and thats exactly the wrong answer. That invites more attacks from iran. Sandra congressman mike waltz, always appreciate when you can join us. Thanks very much. Thanks, sandra. Sandra john . John have you been slapping at mosquitoes lately . Several massachusetts towns on high alert as officials reported case of a dilemma Mosquito Virus. Plus this. I grew up along the creek, middleclass neighborhood. Everything was fine until covid.

Sandra as homelessness reaches Record Levels in blue cities, a woman in california says she is forced to live in her suv because Housing Prices are just too high and shes employed. Max gorden is live in San Francisco. Max, this is a complete Different Group of people that would reach the Homelessness Crisis. So just how much would it cost for that woman to rent an apartment . Hey there, sandra. The woman we talked to, deborah bauer, lives in san ramon, california, and there the average price for a Studio Apartment is a little over 2,000 a month, much higher than the national average, and with first months rent plus the deposit, thats a price that deborah just cant afford. She also has had Health Issues over the years and bills for Cancer Treatments and her other medical issues wiped out her around 80,000 in savings that she had. She now sleeps in her suv in Strip Parking Lots are gets a cheap hotel room when she can. And deborah says shes not al alone. I was surprised how many people show up around here around 9 00. How many cars show up and stay all night and leave at like 7 00, 8 00 in the morning. To go to yeah, those people are working. Shelters and advocacy groups say this trend is growing. Homelessness in the u. S. Hit an alltime high in 2023 and the University Of Chicago study estimates that around 40 of people on the streets were employed either full or parttime. Knowing there is many more like her, deborah remains optimistic and in fact considers herself lucky. I have friends. I have a job. I mean, its not im not, you know, sleeping in a blanket outside. I could, you know, i feel like it could be worse. And there is some good news for deborah. She was recently picked in an Affordable Housing lottery for a Studio Apartment that will cost a strong 1,100 every month. Now homeless advocates say that really the big solution to get people off the streets is an increase in the Affordable Housing stock. Sandra . Sandra max gorden on that story out of San Francisco for us. Max, thank you. John just when he thought it was safe to go back into the bush, massachusetts residents on high alert as officials confirm a case of the Mosquito Virus eastern equine encephalitis, or eee. The case prompting towns to take action to stop the spread as it could lead to severe illness and even death. Lets bring in michelle brownie, the commissioner of health and Human Services in the town of plymouth, massachusetts. Michelle, great to have you with us. So one case, i guess, in worcester county, an 80yearold man came down of eastern equine encephalitis be at how serious the threat . Hi. Thank you so much for having us. Of course, it is a serious threat. We do take it seriously. Eee is rare, but it definitely has serious side effects and can potentially be fatal, so i know for our community and communities around massachusetts, we certainly are taking this serious. John the massachusetts to permit a Public Health commissioner Robbie Goldstein said this, we have not seen an outbreak of eee for four years in massachusetts get this years outbreak and activity raise the risk for communities in parts of the state. We need to use all our available tools to reduce the risk and protect our communities. We are asking everyone to do their part. So what are you doing in plymouth, massachusetts, to do your part . Sure appeared first and foremost, giving our residents and visitors information. Making sure they are aware, right . I mean, we are at a high status as indicated by the department of health and Human Services. We definitely want residents to remain vigilant, be aware of the highrisk status by dph and in their town and take necessary precautions to maintain minimal risk exposure. We have closed parks, public parks and fields in our towns from Dusk Till Dawn as a precaution. John so the director of Public Health, as we pointed out, said this is the first time in four years. Why are conditions suddenly right for this this year . It tends to go in cycles, is what im told. About every 45 years, it does come around, especially in massachusetts. Swamps are most affected, and we seem to be a nice Breeding Ground for that. So we are seeing an uptick. We are definitely on top of it. We want to make sure, again, the public remains vigilant, know the precautions, know what to do, how to avoid the high peak times, and what to do personally. John so up there, eastern equine encephalitis pure down here in the washington, d. C. , area its west nile virus. A very famous victim of west nile is anthony fauci. He thinks he was bitten by an infected mosquito in his backyard pure how do you know if youve gotten one of these diseases . My understanding is the symptoms are fairly similar. Yeah, the symptoms are. I think most people recognize if they have been bitten by a mosquito. And if you feel and onset of symptoms, many of the symptoms are pretty common, as you said, include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, joint muscle pain, seizures, as well, but you should always err on the side of caution, and if you are concerned and have a mosquito bite, contact your doctor immediately so you can make sure that you are safe. John all right, to folks out there feeling symptoms, its probably not because you spent too long at the pub, its because you might have gotten a mosquito bite. Michelle, thanks for joining us, appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. John good luck out there, thank you. Sandra .

While most would agree phones are a major distraction for students, how do you keep kids from using them . That is the question. A lot of people havent figured out. Digging in and looking into how these schools might implement, in some cases, cell phone bans. I should where everyone is talking about this. It is a Hot Button Topic as we get Back To School. District adopting a policy, it is a bag, you lock your phone away so students can still have their phones physically in their possession but they cant actually access whats inside the pouch until the end of the day and the pouch is unlocked. But heres the thing. These pouches are not necessarily cheap, like 30 a bag and cost the schools a lot of money. One School District in new jersey trying to find a middleoftheroad solution without financial investment. Watch. We have for it from teachers at the phones are a very big distraction. For students in milltown township, new jersey, The New School year brings a new phone policy appeared elementary and middle schoolers must keep phones in backpacks or lockers all day. High schoolers must store phones out of sight during class. We wanted to help these students be in an environment that is most conducive to learning. Now mounting evidence shows phones and social media harm Youth Mental Health and impede learning. Nearly a dozen states are taking action. Some Mandate Schools and act restrictions. Others incentivize measures. Without a requirement in the garden state, Middletown School Board Members adopt their Phone Restriction with optimism. We hope everyone embraces the culture of change. And informal a spoke poll conducted by a Middletown Parent Group shows most are receptive and few even want phones kept at home. I would say that im glad that our kids can still have their phones on them, silenced, in their pockets. And so that mom right there reflected a concern i hear from a lot of parents. They want their kid to still have access to their phone at some capacity during the day because they want to be able to reach their kid if they have to. Maybe they dont trust the School Administration to relay communication back and forth for whatever reason. But we are getting into this issue in a Special Report Airing at 8 00 p. M. On friday on fox business, sandra, i hope you are going to watch. One of the interviews i am most excited to have is with an l. A. County board member. He is a gentleman who voted against the l. A. County phone ban, and he talks about why, and what he says might surprise you, so join us for that conversation. Sandra it is really fascinating and im grateful you are digging deep into this because every parent is talking about how to handle this. But one important voice we need to hear from is the student, because i have talked the older our kids are younger i have talked to older kids who are dealing with this, and they dont like, they dont like the phones in the classroom. They say it is very distracting. If they try to put it away and focus on what is happening in the classroom and others have it out, they are annoyed by it. Wright, john, youve slid the older kids, you might be talking about this. John we have 13yearold twins. The daughter earned a cell phone for eighth grade because she got straight as. The boy is, he gets one more chance to do it, if he got straight as in his first quarter, that he gets one, as well. But it is a constant battle. Some schools are using this magnetically sealed pouch called yonder, but there are so many hacks on the internet to get around it, im not sure how effective that would actually be. The less interaction a young person has with a cell phone while in class, the better. Sandra i think we all agree on that one. Good stuff, watching for more on that. Well be right back.
