stress when in fact it s causing mental illness, anxiety, depression, suicidal thinking. john: welcome back as america reports rolls into hour number two. i m john roberts in washington. that s pretty stunning, sandra. sandra: really serious stuff. sandra smith in new, i don t. all new at 2:00, we speak to a mother who lost her son to suicide. she blames years of heavy cannabis use that made her son s delusions worse. her story and her warning just ahead. as we top a brand-new hour, any moment now we are set to see the pentagon take questions as u.s. troops remain stationed at the southern border with thousands of migrants still making their way into this country. president biden claiming the crisis is far less serious than some feared. how do you think things are going at the border, sir? much better than y all expected. john: the president claims things are looking great, more than 83,000 migrants were detained in just the past week, and given court dates to app
against president biden s green agenda, says we cannot slow emissions without agricultural commission. but farm bureau says the numbers are not adding up. jeff flock is live in long valley, new jersey. you and i have talked to the farmers for years. what are they telling you about this? well, as you know, sandra, they don t have much to say. usually they are busy planting or harvesting, what you see here now on the family farm in long valley, new jersey. but yeah, secretary kerry has gotten their attention on this one, you just heard what he had to say and i ve got a fourth generation family farmer with me right now as we follow planters along here. nicole ortmok, you heard what he said. are you not doing everything you can to be as green as you can be and to fight global warming? you are not a global warming
down. you are seeing property damage here, as you travel through this county it looks like a bomb hit in some places. getting the trees cleaned up is critically important. governor, i want to say thank you for stepping up once again to help the citizens of this county and state. look, anybody who is a global warming denier look at what is going on around. you might have had an occasional storm and it wasn t anything. these things are getting stronger and there is more damage. we have to do something. it s too late now. governor, thank you. thank you, steve. for families waiting for the fema funds, is there state funds? how do they get help right now? we ll be putting up a whole lot of information on where people should either go websites or calls or phone numbers to go to and it will be a combination of state, federal
